As written about in today's New York Times GoodReads (which has come a bit of an obsession of mine) has just launched a new site called DiscoverReads that uses an algorithm to recommend books. (Book recommendations and how people choose what to read is another obsession of mine, so this announcement is like a double whammy of awesome.)
From the Times:
On Thursday, Goodreads will announce that it has acquired another start-up, Discovereads.com. It uses machine learning algorithms to analyze which books people might like, based on books they've liked in the past and books that people with similar tastes have liked.
Otis Chandler, Goodreads's founder and chief executive, says the site has been an online version of walking into a friend's living room and scanning the bookshelves to get recommendations. But readers need more than that, he said, particularly now that libraries, bookstores and some newspapers' book review sections are disappearing and e-bookstores are inspiring more self-published authors.
"This will give the casual reader a quick answer to 'What should I read first?'" he said. Once people have rated 10 books on a scale of five stars, Goodreads will be able to suggest books they might like.
All I want to do is try this out, but fucking hell, the site "isn't accepting new members at this time." OK, screw it: back to watching the Big East Tournament. Thanks for nothing GoodReads + NY Times. Teases!
But while it's a commercial break I'm here, this does remind me of Quim Monzo's short story "Books," which is included in our forthcoming collection Guadalajara. (Which, if you want to buy it—and you should! it's brilliant—you'll have to do it at an indie bookstore or online, since B&N isn't going to be stocking it . . . No, not bitter at all about yesterday's sales call at B&N. Not a bit.)
Anyway, you can read the entirely of "Books" in PDF format by clicking here, and here's a longish excerpt from the beginning of the story (translated from the Catalan by Peter Bush):
There are four books on the passionate reader's table. All waiting to be read. He went to the bookshop this afternoon, and after spending an hour around the new releases tables and reviewing the covers of his favorite authors on the shelves, he chose four. One is a book of short stories by a French writer; he really enjoyed a novel of his years ago. He didn't like the second novel he published that much (in fact, didn't like it all) and has now bought this book of stories in the hope of re-discovering what had fired his imagination so many years ago. The second book is a novel by a Dutch writer whose two preceding novels he had tried to read, but with little success, because he'd had to put both of them down after a few lines. Strangely, this didn't lead him to abandon the idea of a fresh attempt. Strangely, because usually, when he can't stand twenty lines of the first book by a particular writer, he might try the second but never the third, unless the critics he trusts have singled it out for special praise, or a friend has recommended it particularly enthusiastically. But this wasn't the case now. Why did he decide to give him another try? Perhaps it's the beginning. The beginning that goes: "The bellhop rushed in shouting: "Mr. Kington! Mr. Kington, please!" Mr. Kington was reading the newspaper in the lobby of the Ambassade Hotel and was about to raise his hand when he realized that nobody, but nobody, knew he was there. He didn't even look up when the bellhop walked by. It would be the most intelligent decision he had ever taken."
The third book is also a novel, the first novel by an American author he has never heard of. He bought it because in spite of the initial quotation ("Oh, how the tiles glinted in the blossoming dawn, when the roosters' cry broke the silence with the sound . . .") he had leafed through it and felt drawn in. The fourth book is a book of short stories, also by a Dutch writer, one who had been unpublished to that point. What attracted him to that book? If he were to be sincere, it was the rich abundance of initials: there are three (A., F., Th.) before the three words that make up the surname. A total of six words: three for the surname and three for the forename. What's more, the first word of the surname is "van." He simply adores surnames that begin with "van."
Why, out of the four books that the passionate reader has on his table, are two (50% exactly) Dutch? Because the Book Fair held in the city was this year devoted to Dutch literature, and that meant, on the one hand, that publishers have brought out more writers in that language recently and, on the other, that the main bookshops in the city have created special displays, piling tables up with these new books as well as books by Dutch and Flemish authors that had been published years ago, that are no longer new and were gathering dust in the distributors' warehouses.
The passionate reader has all four books in front of him and can't think where to begin. The stories by the French writer whose novel he liked several years ago? The novel by the young American about whom he knows nothing? That way, if (as is very likely) he finds it immediately disappointing, he will have eliminated one of the four at a stroke and will only have to choose from among the other three. Obviously the same may happen with the novel by the Dutch writer whom he has had to put down on two previous occasions, after merely one page. The reader opens the second book and leafs through. He opens the third and does exactly the same. And follows suit with the fourth. He could choose on the basis of the typeface or kind of paper . . . He tries to find another aspect of the books that could decide for him (an isolated sentence, a character's name). Page layout. Or paragraphing, for example. He knows that many writers struggle to create frequent paragraphs, whether the text calls for it or not, because they think that when the reader sees the page isn't too dense, he will feel better disposed toward the book. The same goes for dialogue. A serrated text, with lots of dialogue, is (according to current norms) a plus for most people. This may generally be the case, but has the opposite effect on this reader: he finds an abundance of new paragraphs irritating. He is prejudiced against, and mirrors the prejudice felt by lovers of abundant paragraphs, who find a lack of paragraphs extremely monotonous or arrogant.
Where should he begin? The solution might be to begin them all at once, as he often does. Not simultaneously, of course: but going from one to another, just as you never watch six TV channels at the same time but flick from one to another.
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .
At 30, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is already gathering her rosebuds. Faces in the Crowd, her poised debut novel, was published by Coffee House Press, along with her Brodsky-infused essay collection, Sidewalks. The essays stand as a theoretical map. . .
Fantomas Versus the Multinational Vampires: An Attainable Utopia (narrated by Julio Cortázar) is, not disappointingly, as wild a book as its title suggests. It is a half-novella half-graphic novel story about . . . what, exactly? A European tribunal, Latin. . .
Marie NDiaye has created a tiny, psychological masterpiece with her Self-Portrait in Green. In it she explores how our private fears and insecurities can distort what we believe to be real and can cause us to sabotage our intimate relationships.. . .
Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .

IOC head Bach salutes Rio Games efforts
Published on Jan 22, 2014 7:38 AM
BRASïLIA (AFP) - International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach said on Tuesday he was satisfied with progress being made by organisers of the 2016 Rio Olympics, pronouncing himself confident the event would be a success.
Brazil is determined to ensure South America's first ever Olympiad goes smoothly.
But, as with its organisation of the World Cup this June, the giant nation has work on its hands to ensure it can carry out the major infrastructural overhaul that both events require.
Although IOC officials have dropped clear hints in the past they would like to see Rio make faster progress, Mr ach gave an upbeat assessment after talks with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.

The French military intervention in Mali, which started on January 11, has predictably caused international shockwaves. President François Hollande has increased his forces from 1,700 to 2,000, and French warplanes based near the capital, Bamako, have attacked the central towns of Konna and Diabaly, retaking the latter according to latest reports. Several European countries have offered logistical support, and the EU plans to help an African force under United Nations auspices. The French operation was triggered by the fall of Konna to rebel forces, who combine long-standing Tuareg secessionists with members of the homegrown extreme Islamist group Ansar Dine, as well as regional extremist outfits such as al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa. Ansar Dine holds Timbuktu, a United Nations World Heritage site, and has destroyed ancient Islamic monuments because they don't conform to the group's Salafist beliefs. In addition, it has imposed a rigid form of the Sharia and banned all music from areas it controls.
Mr. Hollande's action is lawful. It does not need French parliamentary approval, and the President only has to inform that body. In addition, Mali itself requested French intervention, which the U.N. Security Council unanimously backed on January 14, and on the ground, southern Malians and the French public have praised Paris's move. Problems are, however, intensifying. The U.N. says 412,000 people have fled the north, and the conflict has affected five million in all. Al-Qaeda supporters could launch attacks in France, and the Malian army cannot win on its own. After the 2012 coup, the army immediately lost Timbuktu and Gao, and now some of its troops are reportedly refusing to follow orders. Moreover, the 3,300-strong force agreed to by the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) has not yet been assembled nor is it clear if it will have the equipment and approach needed to do the job. Ansar Dine also has sophisticated weapons left over from the French and western-inspired overthrow of Muammar Qadhafi in Libya. Mr. Hollande says France has no mission to stay long in Mali, but his defence minister says the aim is "total reconquest," which could imply a prolonged campaign. Moreover, the Malian government has made no apparent attempt to engage politically with the north. Yet the Tuaregs, who are only one northern group, have now offered to cooperate with Ecowas troops against Ansar Dine. Therefore, France would do far better to combine military support for the Malian government with pressure on the authorities in Bamako to negotiate with the Tuaregs and other northern groups.

With a commanding victory in Monday's Meadow City Invitational, the Robertson girls' golf team took another step toward qualifying for state as a group.
The Lady Cardinals shot a combined 332, well beneath the 398 threshold needed to qualify their second leg of three required to make the Class 3A state tournament field this coming spring.
Additionally, four Lady Card linksters shot individual qualifying scores; the top three individuals in the girls' draw hailed from Robertson.
A police officer's frustrations with the Municipal Court bubbled to the surface during a meeting last week.
City police Lt. Lawrence O'Connor said in a meeting with Bridge Street merchants that Municipal Judge Eddie Trujillo involved "political BS" in some of his decisions. He said the judge is more lenient with people he knows.
Mesa State racked up 408 offensive yards and Caleb Pavy kicked four field goals as the Mavericks defeated New Mexico Highlands in a battle of two winless Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference teams Saturday in Grand Junction, Colo.
The Mavericks (1-2, 1-1) won 40-6. Highlands (0-4, 0-2) amassed 256 pass yards but threw four interceptions.
The Cowboys got their only score on defense. That was when Kenny Shanahan intercepted the ball from Jason Haferman and returned it 75 yards for a touchdown that made it 26-6 with 7:47 left in the game.
The Las Vegas Optic's coverage of a local story was the story in a Fourth Judicial District courtroom Friday.
A former Robertson High School teacher accused of sexually assaulting a student wants to move the trial out of town. During a hearing to change the venue the lawyer for Jay Quintana, Tom Clark, argued that the newspaper's extensive coverage would taint the jury pool against his client.
"You have a reporter here today, and this story will be contained in 5,100 newspapers going out to the general public," Clark told the court.
Exploiting a slew of West Las Vegas turnovers, the Cobre Indians hijacked the Dons' homecoming game for a 33-14 victory Friday night at Perkins Stadium.
The versatile Martin Blea had a hand in both WLV touchdowns, returning a kickoff 90 yards for one score and passing to Jayvis Medrano for another to the delight of the green-and-gold faithful.
The Dons had their chances, but turnovers made them slip out of reach.
There might be some mixed reviews about the newly mapped Meadow City Invitational cross country course, but Pecos' Antonio Varela probably has few complaints.
Varela breezed to an individual boys' varsity title Saturday morning, his time of 16:44 giving him a 23-second cushion over runner-up Stephen Carbajal of Belen.
The guests walked in on a red carpet on Saturday night, and a spotlight shone into the sky.
No, it wasn't an L.A. awards ceremony. It was the Mayor's Charity Ball, part of Las Vegas' 175th anniversary celebration.
Hundreds showed up for the ball, which took place in the ballroom at Plaza Hotel.
When I was covering a dysfunctional village council in southern New Mexico years ago, an old reporter told me that all of the members seemed normal when you met with them individually. But, together, they made a circus.
Is that the case these days with the Fiesta Council? I have talked with many of these folks over the years, and they seemed pleasant and reasonable.
For the last few years, the city of Las Vegas has used its treated wastewater to irrigate city parks, Highlands University's golf course and Robertson High School's fields.
Now, a consultant is suggesting the city look at sending the wastewater — known as effluent — to the water plant, treating it and putting it into the city's drinking water supply.
"If this isn't publicly acceptable, it will be good to know that," said Ron Mosher of Albuquerque-based Molzen-Corbin and Associates.
Merchants on Bridge Street are calling for action in response to a spate of crime in their area. Many say they are concerned about loitering youths.
Last week, more than 40 people gathered at the Plaza Hotel for a meeting with Police Chief Gary Gold and other police officials. On the large conference table were dozens of photos showing evidence of graffiti, broken windows and other crimes.
In a least one instance, a business' window was broken in the middle of the day — an example of brazenness that the merchants say is becoming more common.

Thailand's blueprint to rein in fallout from floods and drought
Hundreds died and businesses lost billion in last year's floods, caused in part by overflow from dams filled to hedge against drought. This year, Thailand is testing different prevention measures.
Altaf Qadri/AP/File
Bang Luang Dod, Ayutthaya Province, Thailand
Despite seeing his 60 acres of rice paddies covered in more than 10 feet of water for three months during late 2011, farmer Tawee Wongsan is sanguine about flooding this year. "I don't think there will be flooding this year," he says. "The water in the big dams is not so high like last year."
Last year's floods killed more than 800 people and caused an estimated $40 billion damage to the country's $345 billion economy, which is the world's 25th largest. Water covered several districts of Bangkok and swamped industrial zones that include vital automobile and electronics sectors, disrupting global supply chains.
The floods were actually caused in part by reaction to a drought the previous year. To hedge against water shortage, Thailand's dams were allowed to stay almost full throughout 2011. But after months of heavy rainfall, the eventual spillover met an already sodden floodplain.
This year, Thailand could face a "drought or flood conundrum" again.
Yesterday, Thailand's Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department said that a total of 39 provinces, mostly in the agricultural north and northeast, were already experiencing water shortages. But elsewhere in the country, heavy rain has been falling, prompting authorities to aim to reduce water-levels in dams to around 45 percent by May. "It is 50-50 whether we have flood or drought in some places this year," says Rungruang Lertsirivorakul of the Department of Geotechnology at Khon Kaen University.
One possible solution to the dilemma, says Matthew McCartney of the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), is to use floodwater to fight drought.

Interview with Jhulan Goswami
Jhulan Goswami is, without a doubt, one of the finest women cricketers in the world. With an ICC Women's Player of the Year award, Padma Shri and Arjuna Award under her belt, she has made sure that her name goes down in the history books. In a conversation with Taruka Srivastava, Jhulan spoke about the state of women's cricket and her opinion about the IPL.
1. How hard is it making a break in the world of cricket?
I don't think it's very tough. It's like a ride. First you have to start from your district and then keep moving up until you reach your destination. Of course, lots of hard work and dedication are required to pursue the dream.
2. Do you think that cricket can still be called a gentleman's game?
Well yes, I think it can still be called that.
3. Do you follow the IPL? Which team do you support?
Although I do follow the IPL, I don't support any particular team. I enjoy all the exceptional performances by different great players. I go to the stadium here in Kolkata and watch the matches live. Chris Gayle has put up a phenomenal show this season and not just me, but the whole world enjoyed it. It's a great achievement for cricket that so many people follow the IPL so keenly.
4. Do you think a tournament like the IPL would work for Indian women cricketers too?
I really wish they start something like that for women cricketers too. It would be revolutionary. Of course, Gayle-like performances can't be expected; nevertheless, the matches are bound to be quick and intense.
5. What do you think of RCB? Who are your favourite RCB players?
RCB is a very balanced side and has a great batting line-up. The RCB management took a great decision by declaring Virat Kohli as the captain. Virat has a great attitude and his positive agression is very impressive. I am sure in the future he will be leading the Indian side as well.
6. RCB has started 'RCB DIVA' a section dedicated to women fans and players. What are your views on it?
RCB is the only franchise which comes up with great initiatives in every edition of the IPL. Last time they came up with Green Campaign and this time RCB Diva. I think RCB Diva is a great concept, and in a way is helping to empower women. Women are following matches more than men these days, I have noticed. They are more enthusiastic about it and without them there would have been no glamour quotient.
7. A lot of men think women don't understand cricket. What do you have to say about that?
Well, that's not true at all. Women do understand cricket and in fact you will find that most of them, at least in India, follow cricket more than any other sport.
8. Do you think lack of popularity for women's cricket is restricted to India, or is it a global problem? Do you think the ICC is doing enough for the growth of women's cricket?
Well, contrary to the majority opinion I think the popularity of women's cricket has improved a lot. The World Cup which concluded recently in Mumbai saw spectators turning out in great numbers to cheer for the women teams. I have even come across kids who talk about women's cricket and even recognize players. The ICC has great ideas for the further development of women's cricket and they have my vote of confidence.
9. This IPL has seen the presence of a lot of female TV anchors and presenters. Do you think that is one of the ways that interest in the game can be generated among women?
Yes, and it already seems to be working well for the game. This way everyone understands a lot more. The media plays a big role in today's world. I hope they soon start covering a lot more of women's cricket than they do right now.
10. The female presenters have also received a bit of criticism for perhaps not being as well-versed with the game as their male counterparts. Do you think that is a valid criticism?
Well, everyone makes mistakes, and some people may not know every minute detail of the game, but that doesn't mean they don't know anything about it. I think having basic knowledge about the game is a prerequisite for talking about it, and I think the female presenters today do have that basic knowledge.
11. Who is your favourite male cricketer?
I have two favourite cricketers - Sachin Tendulkar and Glenn McGrath. They are both legendary players and I admire them deeply.
12. What would you say is your main strength as a bowler?
I can bowl consistently in the right directions and also some good yorkers.
13. If there was one batsman/batswoman from any point in cricket history whom you would have loved to bowl to, who would that batsman/batswoman be?
I would like to bowl against Sir Sachin Tendulkar and Chris Gayle.
14. What is your message to young girls in India who want to grow up to be cricketers?
I think young girls with an interest in sports should definitely think of playing cricket and consider it as a career option. It is also worthwhile to remember that to make it in professional cricket, you require a lot of hard work, sincerity and most importantly, you have to be true to yourself.

The Telangana Rashtra Samiti on Tuesday decided to stage a protest in front of the Assembly Speaker's office here on January 18 to exert pressure for acceptance of the resignation of 10 party MLAs.
The TRS politburo at its meeting here also decided to continue its agitation till Telangana state is created.

"The TRS has two MPs, 10 MLAs and one MLC. We have decided to exert pressure on the Lok Sabha and the Assembly Speakers and the Legislative Council Chairman to accept our resignations. In this direction, we will stage a protest in front of the Assembly Speaker's office here on January 18," Mr. Rao said.
He appealed to the people of the region in general and the students in particular not to resort to extreme steps like suicide but to take part in the struggle for a separate state.

Justice League of America Trading Cards slated for Summer of 2009!
So, I've been wanting to talk about and post sketches for this project for the last few months but needed to hold off, I'm sure I'd get in some sort of trouble for posting artwork prior to solicits so I kept my yap shut and my sketches off the blog, but fear not, soon I will be able to post some of color sketch cards that I did for this trading card set. If you're going to be picking up this set you'll have the chance to get an original color sketch from dozens of artists many being friends and coworkers! Here's a few names to look out for: Mike Fiorentino, Corey Breen, Dezi Sienty, Thomas Valente, Fredrick Haynes, Harvey Richards, Michael Sellers, and of course myself. I did 200 cards--mostly watercolor and it was a ton of work.

Cover Art for the Print Version of TZC Revealed!
This is the cover art for James Melzer's debut novel from Permuted Press. Escape: A Zombie Chronicles Novel, which hits shelves this Fall. The artist is the brilliantly insane and talented Chad Michael Ward from Hollywood, California. You can check out the full article over at: http://jamesmelzer.net/ as well as find out more info on TZC and author James Melzer. I interviewed him a few months ago, so, if you dig through my older posts you can find it under the 'zombie label.' I think this is a great cover and has the potential to be quite iconic. I would've taken a different approach and probably tried to tie in some of the story elements--I think I would've tried to incorporate an "escape" scene of some sort to go with the title. Regardless of what I would've done, this is a great image and works well with the story. Do yourself a favor and pick this up when it drops.

Old yet new camera on the way!
Yes, I won a beautiful looking older Minolta camera off e-bay with a telephoto lens yesterday, paid for it today and have to 3-10 days to get it. Cannot wait, as much as I love my little digital Nikon S210 it only takes great pictures in good natural lighting and I'm growing weary of a digital aesthetic, my heart beats for things with a soul and I hope I've found it. I had a nice Vivitar that I used for many years but it busted and I'm lazy and a cheapo so never got it fixed but I think I will still be able to salvage my lenses and flash to use with my new soon to be baby.

Ben from Cincinnati, OH | 5/22/2014 8:01 AM
A little less spin than I hoped for but overall a good value. Felt good around the greens, just lacked the bite you get from softer balls.
Glenn from Fond Du Lac, WI | 3/27/2014 8:27 AM
Excellent feel for around the greens. Does well when driving. Holds up well. Not a PRO V1, but it does not hurt the pocket book as bad when you put in the pond. Good ball.
Tom from Central Square, NY | 3/20/2014 10:45 AM
I have a slower swing now that I'm in my sixties and the gamer travels farther for me and more accurate. Younger guys on the league that I run also play nothing else.
JimG51 from Houston, TX | 1/2/2014 12:38 PM
I find the Gamer Tour a worthy substitute for the Nxt Tour which is how it was represented to me. Distance and feel around greens equivalent. It is my ball of choice for the price.
Bob from Columbus, OH | 10/29/2013 9:26 PM
Some of the reviews compared this ball to the top end Titlelists; I think that's wishful thinking. I just played 18 holes with them. Distance was good, but it had a hard feel on the green. A pretty decent ball, but not as good as Titlelist NXT, in my opinion. I'd rather pay a little extra for the NXT.

Match Preview
Los Che close in on qualification Valencia defender Ricardo Costa has called on his side`s fans to play their part against Bursaspor as Los Che go in search of a place in the last 16 of the Champions League. Valencia are currently second in Group C heading into the penultimate round of fixtures, three points behind leaders Manchester United and two ahead of third-placed Rangers - with the two British teams meeting at Ibrox. That means that if results go their way at both grounds, the Spaniards can celebrate booking their spot in the next round come full-time, and Costa hopes Valencia`s supporters can do their bit at the Mestalla. "We hope the stadium is full and that they help us to win this game from the first minute. It`s a very important match for Valencia and I hope that the fans are with us," said Costa. "It will be a gala night for Valencia, the team needs help and when you play at home you need the fans." Valencia's 21-year-old midfielder Jordi Alba added: "I haven`t experienced a great European night at the Mestalla and I`d like to do it. Against Manchester United, maybe because it was the day of the strike (in Spain), and then against Rangers there wasn`t this atmosphere." Costa also stressed the importance of netting an early goal as Unai Emery`s side look to do the double over a Bursaspor outfit that are rock-bottom of the Group C table and yet to pick up a point from their four matches. Costa scored after just 16 minutes of the first meeting between the two in Turkey and Valencia went on to win the match 4-0. "We have to win and we have to do everything to achieve it. We need to put them under pressure to score quickly. If we don`t score quickly then they could think they can score themselves," the Portugal international said. "The Turkish team are good, but they haven`t achieved a win or even a goal yet. We need to have respect but we need to score early to control the game." Depending on results tomorrow, it could be that Valencia will have a showdown with United at Old Trafford in the final round of fixtures to see which side will win the group. For Bursaspor the situation is simple - they are already out of contention to finish in the top two and need to win both of their final two matches against Valencia and Rangers, and for United to avoid defeat at Ibrox tomorrow, to have a chance of pipping the Scottish side to third spot and a place in the Europa League. It is not looking good for Ertugrul Saglam's side, though, as they have won just twice in their last 11 competitive games. However, they did beat Manisaspor 2-0 away from home in the league at the weekend, leaving them second in the standings and two points behind leaders Trabzonspor. Valencia are fifth in the Primera Division table following their 1-1 draw with local rivals Villarreal on Saturday.

Match Report
Los Che advance after rout Valencia qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League in style with an emphatic 6-1 victory over Group C whipping boys Bursaspor. Los Che, who beat the Turkish side 4-0 away from home in their first meeting, had the match all but wrapped up by half-time after blitzing their opponents with four goals in a stunning 20-minute spell in the opening period. Attacking quartet Juan Manuel Mata, Roberto Soldado, Aritz Aduriz and Joaquin Sanchez were all on the scoresheet prior to the interval, while Soldado and Alejandro Dominguez added further goals in the second half for Unai Emery's side, who might have won by an even bigger margin. The victory means the Primera Division outfit are now assured of a top-two finish in Group C and will play Manchester United for first place at Old Trafford in the final round of fixtures. United stayed three points clear of Los Che after beating Rangers this evening. For Bursaspor, who netted a consolation goal through Pablo Batalla when 5-0 behind, a fifth successive loss means they are now certain to finish bottom of the standings. Valencia were quickly out of the blocks and might have been two goals ahead in the opening four minutes with Aduriz and Joaquin both having decent chances. Bursaspor then gave Valencia a couple of major scares of their own - not least when Sercan Yildirim was put clean through in the 12th minute. The Turkey international could not take advantage, though, as his lob over home goalkeeper Miguel Moya landed just wide of the far post, and after that it was pretty much all Valencia. Mata opened the scoring in the 16th minute from the penalty spot after Omer Erdogan was adjudged to have brought down Aduriz inside the area even though the Bursaspor captain, who got both ball and man, looked from impressed by the decision. Five minutes after that it was 2-0 as Aduriz and Mata combined to set up Soldado, who lashed the ball in from close range, before Aduriz made it 3-0 in the 30th minute. Jordi Alba and Mata combined well down the left before the former's low cross picked out Aduriz, who slotted home at the second attempt after Ivankov had blocked his first effort. Soldado was then denied when one on one with Ivankov as Valencia continued to dominate before Emery's side did make it 4-0 in the 37th minute through captain Joaquin, who turned inside Erdogan on the edge of the box before curling a shot into the far top corner. The misery did not end there for Bursaspor, however, and Valencia picked up where they left off after half-time. It took the home side only 10 minutes to increase their lead as Soldado took his tally to five goals in the five group games. The twice-capped Spain international latched onto a through-ball, rounded Ivankov on the edge of the box and then smashed a thunderous rising shot past the covering Erdogan on the line. A brilliant one-handed save from Ivankov prevented Valencia substitute Dominguez from heading in the Spanish side's sixth goal in the 62nd minute. To their credit, Bursaspor continued to fight despite the match being beyond them, and Volkan Sen and Turgay Bahadir both tested young Valencia goalkeeper Vicente Guaita - who had replaced the injured Moya in the first half - before the Turks pulled a goal back in the 69th minute. Yildirim fired over a low cross to the far post where substitute Batalla slotted in from close range as the Valencia defence appealed in vain for offside. That was not the end of the scoring though, as Valencia made it 6-1 12 minutes from time, Dominguez firing in after Mata had passed on a long punt forward by Guaita, completing a comprehensive victory for the hosts.

Grayson Highlands State Park Campground: Camping at Grayson Highlands
Camping at Grayson Highlands is a great way to extend your stay and get to enjoy more of the park. There are horse camping sites, family camping sites, and a group camp site. The campsites are open in the warmer months; during the winter months, only primitive camping is available. The family and group camp sites are about a mile from Massie Gap, and include the usual amenities - parking for two cars, a fire ring, and picnic tables. Bathrooms with flush toilets, potable water, and showers are nearby. The campground is away from the ponies, so no risk of them going through your tent or relieving themselves on it. There is also a camp store that sells food (mainly candy, ice cream, and snacks), firewood, ice, and other camping supplies, and park souvenirs. When arriving at the park, give the attendant your reservation number to get a parking pass. Also note the quiet hours - they are a little strict about enforcing this rule. Any talking louder than a whisper and a ranger may stop by and ask you to keep it down. If you're staying at the park overnight and don't mind waking up really early, you can make the short drive to Sugarlands Overlook, between the campsite and the park gate, and watch the sunrise. It's a truly beautiful sight.
Camping at the park gives easy access to Grayson Highlands and Mount Rogers NRA. And the amenities are quite good. Indoor flush toilets, individual showers with massaging shower heads (wonderful after a long day of hiking), and a camp store to purchase anything you forgot are some of the unique amenities at the campground.

Overall I thought this sounded pretty good on my aftermarket 6x8's. It has decent functionality but is a little tough to learn the controls. If it says it will fit a ford f series but does not without modification. If I were to say this is better than the jvc or kenwood I would probably say yes. I am crucial on the bad points but it has lots of nice features.

Fish caught off Atlantic Beach sets state record
Published: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 9:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 9:40 a.m.
Angler Toby Grantham caught his share of fish during a 48-hour trip aboard a Carteret County headboat earlier this year, but it only took one to establish a new state record.
Grantham caught the 27.6-pound scamp Sept. 25 while fishing off Atlantic Beach aboard the Continental Shelf and quickly learned from Capt. Dave Tilley and others that it was a fish worth weighing in.
"I've done mostly inshore fishing previously, but over the last year or so I've been fishing offshore," he said. "I've caught a few scamp, but I didn't realize he was as huge as he was."
Grantham learned late last week from the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries that his catch was one of two recently certified as new state records.
"I've had citations, but I've never had a record before," Grantham said.
While he lives in Knightdale, Grantham said his family has a place in Beaufort and he does a lot of fishing off Carteret County.
Grantham caught the fish with a Shimano Stella 8000SWPG reel and Black Hole Cape Cod Special 54S 250g rod, using a Blue Water Candy Roscoe Jig on 50-pound line test.
The fish measured 40 inches in total length and had a 26.25-inch girth.
It also came close to the world record 29-pound, 10-ounce scamp caught off the coast of Alabama in 2000.
North Carolina did not previously have a state record scamp. To establish a state record fish, the angler must submit an application that is reviewed by Division of Marine Fisheries staff and a N.C. Saltwater Fishing Tournament Advisory Board, the division said.
The fish must be exceptionally large for North Carolina waters and within a reasonable range of the world record.
North Carolina also has a new state record for gag grouper.
Tim Gallimore of Ocean Isle Beach caught the record 46-pound gag grouper May 1, 2011, on live bottom in 200 feet of water southeast of Ocean Isle Beach.
It wasn't until Saturday, however, that he learned his catch is now the state record.
Gallimore's catch was previous to and replaces the record 43-pound, 8-ounce fish caught May 12, 2012, off Morehead City by David Abernathy of Newport.
North Carolina did not have a state record gag grouper on the books until Abernathy's catch. Gallimore had received a citation at the time of his catch but didn't pursue trying to establish a record in the category. However, he followed up with the state after learning a record was established by a fish smaller than his.
Gallimore said Abernathy's catch was an admirable one, but he is excited to have his catch on the record books.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime record," he said.
Gallimore's fish measured 44 inches from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail and had a 28.5-inch girth. He used live pinfish for bait on 80-pound braid line test with a Shimano TLD 25 reel on a Penn Standup rod.
The world record gag grouper weighed 80 pounds, 6 ounces, and was caught off the Florida coast in 1993.

I mean the linux kernel and gnu utils [like bash and the coreutils, etc] are what you might consider "linux", and those are part of every distro. The difference between them is usually how you install them and what extra stuff you get... there are other things like the directory structure and init scripts that will change too.... My point really is that I don't see where linux on a floppy would be more (or less) of a learning experience than any other linux distribution [except of course LFS, which is the ultimate learning distro ;)]. Of course you would learn a lot about floppies.... (i.e. they suck haha) but you could figure that out while making a slack or debian floppy install set ;) Mike P.S. Live CD's rock! ;)

The Catawba County Board of Commissioners approved an incentives package Tuesday for a Claremont manufacturing facility.
Commissioners entered into a joint economic agreement with Germany-based Poppelmann Plastics that gives the company incentives based on 67 percent of the increased tax on the company's Phase II facility, which is a 53,000-square-foot warehouse, for five years. The maximum grant total is $28,676 a year or $143,380 total.
When Newton leaders created a spending plan last summer, they hoped $250,000 would be enough money to fix one storm sewer culvert in the city.
On Tuesday city leaders learned that their budgeted sum won't fix one culvert on Ashe Avenue.
It will fix three.
