A-Train: Memoirs of a Tuskegee Airman
How does a black American prepare for a career in a profession traditionally closed to blacks? And how does he or she cope with the frustrations and dangers that subsequent experiences generate? A-Train is the story of one of the black Americans who, during World War II, graduated from Tuskegee Army Flying School and served as a pilot in the 99th Pursuit Squadron. Charles W. Dryden has prepared an honest, fast-paced, balanced, vividly written, and very personal account of what it was like to be a black soldier, and specifically a pilot, during World War II and the Korean War. Colonel Dryden's book commands our attention because it is a balanced account by an insightful man who enlisted in a segregated army and retired from an integrated air force. Dryden's account is poignant in illuminating the hurt inflicted by racism on even the most successful black people. As a member of that elite group of those young pilots who fought for their country overseas while being denied civil liberties at home, Dryden presents an eloquent memoir of the experiences he has shared and the changes he has witnessed.

- Daisy is back in her bedroom, but this time she's with Lisa who absolutely insisted she get to do a scene with the amateur model. Wow. You just have to watch it to feel it, the kissing, the motions, the feeling, it's incredible to watch it all unfold. There is something so naturally beautiful about this it's hard to put into words. It's just a sheer joy to watch two people enjoy each other so intimately and lasciviously. Lisa is so eager she humps Daisy, she is all over her from beginning to end! Even after the girls have given each other orgasms they just continue to lay there hugging and kissing and we were lucky enough to have the camera rolling, quietly and unobtrusively shooting the them in this private after-sex moment.

In response to ricochet....when 2 people get married, have a child or do anything in their personal life, who else are they supposed to think about....YOU and the rest of the critical fans who disappove of the way they live? I supposed u'd rather see a marriage thats unhappy and stressful rather than have a child in a loving, warm and stable home with parents that love each other just because they aren't married. Let me ask u a question, when u got married or had a child, did u think of friends, neighbors, strangers before u made any decisions or did u do what was right for u?....people like u make people like me realize the world truly is full of judgemental people who think the world revolves around them. Let me know if Leelee calls u to give advice on the baby's name or where she's educated.

Ricochet, you are so wrong. "a-piece-of-paper" doesn't say I love you your actions do. The paper is just legal government crap. Speaking of which your probably one of those idiots how don't think homosexuals should have the right to your prestigious piece of paper, Even when there love is longer & greater then people married in Vegas after 3 dates.

ricochet, who are YOU to judge what other people do, how the do it, or WHY they do ? I have a feeling you should clean up your OWN backyard..and keep your opinions in that backyard.

congrats to the happy new parents and it's not like getting pregnant or having a child/children before marriage is a new Phenomenon in Hollywood even some quite beloved actresses were pregnant with them and their soon to be husbands first child together before marriage a perfect example being Joanne Woodward though she later miscarried on her and Paul's honeymoon and had their first daughter Nell in April 1959 Nancy Barbato is another example she was pregnant with her and frank Sinatra's daughter Nancy Sandra before they were married in November 1939 as she was born 8th June 1940

Wasn't she preaching abstinence several years ago? Everyone does thing assbackwards these days. People need to try to control themselves more.
- Thursday 17 DecemberBy Michael
Ricochet & Keki,
As a 43 year old single male with no dependants, I totally agree with you two. Although the child is born out of love, I guess these people don't mind that the baby, whether the parents like it or not, is a bastard child, just like what dumbass Tom Brady did. I wouldn't want my child to have that title.
- Thursday 17 December
The only reason any child even HAS that "title" is because of sanctimonious jerks such as yourself and your two cohorts who want to tell other people how to live their lives. Why would you even want to call an innocent child such a nasty and hateful name? What did a new life not even one month into the world do to you to make you hate her that much? You sit here and espouse Christianity, but you do nothing but judge others. Judge not, lest you be judged, Michael. From where I'm sitting, you definitely are the jawbone of an ass.
- Thursday 17 DecemberBy Lauren
I like how you all throw around the word "BASTARD"!!!! I was pregnant when I got married.. Now divorced (cause he was cheating).. My son is very muched loved so that means he's a bastard? And let's see I ws born from an affair but my papa has claimed me as his from the start.. So Im a "BASTARD" too? This child didn't ask to be born so why label it a "BASTARD"? Such hate.. I say congrats to them!!
- Thursday 17 December
"We put that back because of the baby news?" HUH? You got pregnant with the man, you are both filthy rich, you claim you love each other, and when you find out you're pregnant, you put the wedding OFF? What do you people want? Financial security? Check. Love? Check. Two adults? supposedly. Why not speed up the wedding, instead of putting it off? Our granparents got married first, moved into a tiny house and raised six kids. Now, people with millions in the bank, large mansions and six cars don't have the sand to make a kid legitimate from the first day?
- Friday 18 DecemberBy Crystalslug
Why shud people speed up a wedding just because a baby is on the way? If the people having the baby are happy to have a baby out of wedlock surely its up to them. At the end of the day if the parents are in love, happy and in a stable relationship surely that is better than being in a marriage that is loveless and just having a child to stay together!

Rivet-Dandenault injury... Happy to see Streit.
I'd be happy to see Mark Streit first game of the season. Why? Because in the pre-season and training camp he was good defenceman and right now I think that should help the powerplay.
I would like to see him on the first unit with Andrei Markov, Sheldon good a pretty hard shot, but yesterday he was not using it.
What your thought ?
That he's still as worthless as he was last year because he's still a weak little b*tch.
Could not be worst than Souray and Rivet...
Streit wasnt that bad on the point on the PP. He was a helluva lot better than Rivet is. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but Streit has one wicked slap shot, he just never uses it!
I think Streit can be something decent if he gets the chance. The olympics were no fluke. He was incredible then and wasnt that bad when he played for us when Bouillon was out near the end of last season.
At the moment, Souray is just a pylon with a slapshot.
When we look at Streit plays, he's better a lot better in PP then both Souray and Rivet. I think he can replace Souray, his not so physical at all, he just good for fighting and when he not take a brain cramp every 5 seconds.
Rivet is may be better then Streit, but not on the powerplay for sure.
Right now, when I look at our defence...Markov is still our number one, very good d-men, he was good last night against Ottawa, but nobodys was there for finish it...He just need to more shoot to puck. After him, with the speed and backcheck Dandenault made he deserve his place on the top-6. Craig Rivet is slow, made some errors, but he's hard-worker and in his own isnt so bad. i don't think he'll put up the 35+ pts he did last year, because he don't deserve to be on the PP. Niinimaa is not done like some people was saying. He's better every each game in the habs jersey since the beginning of the season. Can be use on PP. Mike Komisarek, OMG, he was the best habs players yesterday, everybody knows that Komisarek is one of the best hitters and hard hitters of the league, I really good shutdown d-men, but this year he's more implicate in the game, he take decision that I was not welling to do last years, he still got some offensive upside and the greatest a really good skater/speed for his size. (If we can keep Komisarek-Markov, it would be amazing, Komi is already a n.2 d-men).
Francis Bouillon knows what intensity his, he don't give a F8CK if he's 1 feet smaller then others player, he gonna knock off the guys out the puck and hurt him with big hits.
Craig Rivet, when in the game you don't hear his name a lot of time, that says he was pretty gpod...He need to be more intense sometimes, but he deserve the top-6, he's a n.5-6.
I'll put Streit/Cote for the 6-7 spots, Cote can play in the NHL(when he gonna be heathly) and Streit can do a better job then Souray in both zone.
I hope Souray gonna get trade, I don't worry if he stay on the team(just when a offensive foward gonna be 1v1 on him) he can do the job...But for the UFA summers, **** off every of those guys, we need to keep Markov, and it would be fine with the beast Komisarek, Bouillon, Dandenault and may be another players via UFA.
I like Streit, give him a chance.
Streit was that bad last year. He was dominated down low and along the boards. He couldn't make an outlet and coughed up the puck with the slightest bit of forechecking. He was beat wide because he is too weak to keep players to the outside.
He has a slap shot that somehow misses the net more than Sourays. Right now, sadly, he is Montreals only option. Hopefully Rivet and Dandy aren't hurt to bad cause i don't want to see Streit in there too often.
Rivet might play Tuesday, Dandy might not...
Seems more serious in Dandy's case than in Rivet's. Seems that Rivet was feeling much better this morning. .....Sorry french only.....but that's about what it says....
Rivet might play, but nothing sure.
Dandy might not play, but nothing sure.
Rivet is da iron man. I cant see him missing much game becuz of a puck who hit is leg.
About Dandenault I dont know.. he look like a warrior too. Im not worried much.
I think one will play, one won't, but not sure which.
That said, Streit will play against Calgary. Maybe even if they both play just in case.
Although it would be hard to take a guy like Downey out of the line up after a good game last night(by his standards) and the fact that there are some fighters on our opponents.
I don't think either will be long-term...worst case scenario looks like they might miss a couple of games each.
It kinda sucks because Dandenault has been playing some very good hockey.
He, Niinimaa, and Komisarek have stepped up big time in the wake of slow starts for Souray, Markov, and Rivet.
With these possible injuries, we need Sheldon and Andrei to start playing up to the level we know they're capable of.
When is J-P Cote coming back?:handclap: ;)
Souray never used his shot because we had a grand total of 2 minutes in PP time last night.
Teams that forcheck hard give streit a real tough time. He is ineffective down low against bigger men. Sure, in the offensive zone, Streit shows promise. But down low in his own end, I dont think there's any light at the end of the tunnel for him to get better. Its just a size, and strength issue to me.
Streit > Rivet > Côté
I think he's very good at the point and he's very underrate defencively . He's not big , but he can play in the NHL , in a good level too .
I'd like Streit as our #8 defenseman...or not even.
J-P Cote as our #6 or #7.
I would like Streit if he had J-P Cote's size, physical/defensive game, heart...I don't hate Streit but I'm not a huge fan (he's good for the #2 PP unit...). Maybe I should give him a chance!! We'll see him Tuesday...
yeaaaaaaaaaah STREIT POWER
Let's go Streit!
I can't wait to see Streit play again. He lead the Swiss with the genius and invention of Hannibal with Carthigians through the Alps. He's a master of puck control and movement and must be given his due.
His massive ability is a joy to all knowledgeable observers of hockey. Streit's smoothness and fluid movement is a remarkable human phenomon.
Athletic talent is fleeting. Even for the greats, it's a short lived thing. Let's stop wasting this massive talent. Human magic as possessed by players like Streit is a brief-burning wonder of nature.
Outstanding athletic ability is the convex inverse of infirmity and frailty. Such special abilities must be celebrated in the same way as sickness and illness is mourned. The force of life and beauty is also the force of death and sickness. Both are one. Both must be revered.
A talent like Streit's - as personified by the vision, the speed, the accurate passing - is the yin to malady's yang. Let us recognize and validate it with our highest esteem.
As a now legendary 17 year old poet once explained:
The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees
Is my destroyer.
And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose
My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.
Rivet optimistic about foot injury; Dandenault doubtful against Flames
MONTREAL (CP) - The Montreal Canadiens had their fingers crossed Sunday as they waited to hear whether veteran defencemen Craig Rivet and Mathieu Dandenault would be healthy enough to play in Tuesday's matchup against the Calgary Flames.
Both Rivet and Dandenault underwent MRI tests following the team's 3-2 shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators Saturday night.
"We're confident that Craig will able to play Tuesday," Canadiens coach Guy Carbonneau said Sunday. "Mathieu's case seems more worrying to us. He could have to skip (Tuesday's game)."
Rivet injured his foot blocking a shot during a third-period Senators power play, while Dandenault hurt his thigh fighting off a check.
They were the only two Canadiens players to play all 82 regular season games last year.
Rivet is something of a ironman for the Habs, having missed only two games over the past four seasons.
"He is already feeling better," Carbonneau said Sunday.
But despite Carbonneau's optimism about his injured defencemen, it looks like Mark Streit will suit up for the first this year sometime this week.
Carbonneau indicated that the Swiss defenceman would see action either against the Flames or in Chicago on Wednesday.
"I didn't want Mark to stay inactive for too long," Carbonneau said. "He was left out because of the arrival of (defenceman) Janne Niinimaa, but he took it like a professional."
Streit, who had a solid training camp, isn't discouraged by the team's surplus of defencemen.
"There's nothing I can do about it," the 28-year-old defenceman said. "I know that things can change rapidly. So I force myself to stay positive and to be ready for when they need my services."
Streit, who captains the Swiss national team, played 48 games last year, scoring two goals and nine assists to go with a plus-minus rating of minus six.

The Cooler: Can Hillary Clinton Help Stop Elephant Poaching?
By Matt Miller, senior science writer
As announced in many media outlets this week, Hillary Rodham Clinton has a new cause: stopping elephant poaching.
There have been some predictable and aggravating (to me, at least) comments like those of blogger Jenna Karvunidis, who writes that "elephant poaching is something you get behind when all other human problems have been solved."
But most conservationists see stopping elephant poaching as a worthy cause, and a problem in desperate need of a solution. The question remains: Can Clinton make a difference?
Elephant and rhino poaching have been in the news a lot this past year, for good reason. Elephant poaching is at its highest level in 20 years. Forest elephant populations have declined 62% in ten years, and the poaching of them appears to only be intensifying.
Fueling this poaching boom is a market for ornately carved ivory and rhino horn sold as a very expensive cure-all in prospering Asian countries.
Many conservationists feel anger, rage, despair. I understand: I recently spent a couple days in remote corners of Tarangire National Park with my elephant-loving guide, Salvatory Erasmus of Roy Safaris. We watched hundreds of elephants as they fed, bathed, played and socialized. I challenge anyone not to feel awe at the sight of them. To kill them for something so trivial as decorative craft is utterly beyond my comprehension.
What to do? Some argue for a total, global ivory ban, while others believe that a carefully regulated ivory trade shouldn't be dismissed. Various models for ecotourism and sport hunting that benefit local communities are proposed. Some want to pressure Asian government officials and religious institutions that tacitly back the use of ivory for artwork or icons. And there are those who think that education campaigns aimed at consumers could help shift the tide.
All ideas likely have their merits, but they face one big, fat obstacle: the price of elephant tusks and rhino horns. Ivory can bring up to $1000 a pound. Rhino horn is currently worth more than gold. Or cocaine.
As with the illegal drug trade, these prices create an underground industry that's difficult to stop. It has changed poaching from subsistence hunters trying to earn income for poor families to high-tech, organized crime syndicates.
Various "wars on drugs" – and their associated drug education campaigns — have been spectacularly unsuccessful in stopping the drug trade. Can the ivory trade be any different?
Enter Hillary Clinton.
I understand that some might be skeptical. After all, many high-profile people have made ending drug use their personal cause with little effect. Can one person – even a respected and effective global figure – really put a dent in a global problem?
Here, I turn to conservation history. At the turn of the 20th century, a person walking down the streets of Manhattan would see birds of every color and description – all adorning women's hats.
A feathered hat was the height of fashion. Some ladies wore what amounted to museum dioramas on their heads – who mounted birds in lifelike poses.
This trade was devastating bird populations, particularly some species with beautiful feathers like various egrets and herons. The wild popularity of the hats made many pessimists feel that many bird species were doomed to extinction.
As with ivory, many solutions were proposed, but it really took the leadership of some high profile figures, notably President Theodore Roosevelt and popular author and explorer George Bird Grinnell. They used their connections to pass strong anti-poaching laws. They established reserves (including what became the National Wildlife Refuge system) and made law enforcement a key part of those protected areas. And they mobilized and empowered citizens, including bird protection societies and sportsmen.
Today, egrets and herons have some of the healthiest bird populations on the continent. And have you seen anyone with dead songbirds on her hat lately?
I recognize that there are many differences between the feather trade and the ivory/rhino horn trade. But there is still a need for leaders to bring attention to the problem, to influence and to mobilize concerned citizens.
Clinton is a respected and even beloved figure in many parts of the world. She is a skilled spokesperson and has an inarguable command of global issues. Her pledge to focus on poaching also coincides with other efforts, including the Obama Administration's announcement two weeks ago about a major initiative to curb wildlife trafficking.
In the early 1900s, many bird lovers were absolutely convinced that nothing, absolutely nothing, could stop people from wearing birds. They were wrong.
Clinton won't singlehandedly stop elephant poaching, but her attention should be welcomed: it signals that this is a serious, important issue that should demand attention—now– from leaders and concerned citizens around the world.

Big 12 quarterdeck crowded with talented signal callers
Among the returning quarterbacks in the Big 12 Conference are a Heisman finalist, the most prolific passer in the nation and the most efficient passer in the nation. The quarterbacks are so good that a guy like Oklahoma State junior Zac Robinson, one of only three quarterbacks in the nation to rush for more than 800 yards and throw for more than 2,800 last season, can't get a sliver of national attention.
The proven talent at this position goes nine deep in the conference. Yet each of them has something to prove either as an individual or as the leader of a team. If 2008 fulfills its headline as The Year of the Quarterback in the Big 12, it will be because these 12 players have overcome the hurdles that await them.
Chase Daniel, MissouriThe senior from Southlake, Texas, has played his entire career as if he has needed to prove something. He had to prove Texas wrong for not recruiting him. He had to prove that a man of his stature (6-0, 225) could play big-time quarterback. He had to prove that Missouri should be taken seriously on the conference and national stage. Daniel has done all of that. He has thrown for 8,180 yards, 62 touchdowns and only 23 interceptions. Last season, he was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and finished fourth in the Heisman vote.
Daniel lost his favorite receiver, tight end Martin Rucker (84 catches), but in his place will be Chase Coffman, who caught 52 passes as a second tight end a year ago. Daniel still has Jeremy Maclin, the sophomore whose open-field running made him the most exciting player in the Big 12 last season. With a straight face, head coach Gary Pinkel described Maclin as "faster" this season.
What he and the Tigers haven't done, however, is win a championship. That's what Daniel has to prove, and he is the first to say it.
"It's been a lot more intense," Daniel said. "We don't have to talk about it. It's out there for us."
Graham Harrell, Texas TechLike his predecessors in Lubbock, Harrell has stats on steroids. In 2007, Harrell threw for 5,705 yards and 48 touchdowns, both of which led the nation. But, like Kliff Kingsbury, B.J. Symons, Sonny Cumbie and Cody Hodges before him, Harrell has garnered more stats than he has respect. Coach Mike Leach, asked about the latent skepticism, said, "I guess leading the nation in passing is not everything it's cracked up to be."
The skepticism will continue until the Red Raiders challenge seriously for the Big 12 South championship. Leach believes his quarterback has the goods to push Texas Tech to the top. "Harrell is not a guy you say, 'Well, he's just so weak at this. We have to overcome that,'" the head coach said. "I think he's pretty solid overall."
Leach said Harrell has worked on throwing individual routes to receivers not wearing No. 5, which would be a problem for any quarterback when Michael Crabtree is wearing No. 5. "It may not be perfect," Leach said of Harrell and Crabtree, "but one knew what the other was doing."
Such as?
"Just subtle little things," Leach said. "Crabtree's got a little knack on a dig route, and they're on the same page on this. If the situation's right, instead of coming all the way across, he'll return. When he does that, he's wide open. I think as they're wandering around playing video games, doing whatever they do, some of that is rolling though their head. It brings out some positive things."
Sam Bradford, OklahomaBradford led the nation in passing efficiency as a freshman with a rating of 176.5, which was a tie for the seventh-best single-season rating in history. He threw 36 touchdowns and only eight interceptions, and he completed 69.5 percent of his passes. All Bradford has to prove is that he received his vaccine for a sophomore slump.
"More than anything," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said of his goal for Bradford, "not to feel like there is a next step. Just grow in the system naturally, like he did a year ago. If he can throw for 36 touchdowns again to only eight interceptions, I think we're going to have a really good year.
"I think one of the harder things to coach a young guy in is pocket presence, to stay in the pocket," Stoops said. "Well, he already has that. I think at times he can leave it a little bit more. Some of that will naturally happen as he gets comfortable with it."
Colt McCoy, TexasIn 2006, McCoy surpassed all expectations for a redshirt freshman. He even set a then-NCAA first-year record with 29 touchdown passes. Last season, that number fell to 22, while his interceptions rose from seven to 18.
Coach Mack Brown took the coaches' share of the blame.
"We probably put too much on him [in 2007] because we weren't doing well," Brown said. "We were trying to find something we could do early. We probably gave him too much stuff. And there were tipped balls and unfortunate balls early."
Both coach and quarterback believe McCoy will better handle the responsibility this season.
"Yeah," McCoy said when asked what he had to prove, "I have to play better than I did last year. At the same time, the experience that I gained from last year is so important. I know how to play the game. Honestly, I felt like I became a much better quarterback than what I was."
McCoy, like Matt Stafford of Georgia, can combine the benefit of two years' experience with an easier brand of leadership that comes with age. Brown described the difference.
"He seems to have much better control of the team and who he is and where we're going, just watching him and watching how the kids are responding to him," Brown said. "He's just changed. He's being much more aggressive with the kids."
Josh Freeman, Kansas StateIt may be more of a commentary on NFL scouts than it is on Freeman to say that the Wildcats junior already is the subject of draft lust. Not until the second half of last season did Freeman begin to fulfill the potential that he brought to Manhattan. In the last seven games of the season, Freeman threw for 2,044 yards, 14 touchdowns and only four interceptions.
The 6-6 Freeman has dropped 20 pounds to 240. He spent time in the offseason watching video of NFL stars Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. He studied Manning's downfield throws and Brady's pocket sense, "knowing your offensive linemen's strengths and matchups, where in the pocket for each protection that you can step up into."
Freeman knows what has been said about him. He wants to prove it all right, every word of it.
"I've always viewed myself as somebody who could be the best in the country," Freeman said. "This year I want to go out and lead our team to hopefully a Big 12 championship."
Todd Reesing, KansasThe Jayhawks went 12-1 last season in no small part because of Reesing. He is listed at 5-11, which must be in his platform cleats, yet Reesing threw for 3,486 yards, 33 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. He also proved, as Texas Tech coach Mike Leach has said all along, that the spread offense doesn't need tall quarterbacks, only smart ones.
When coach Mark Mangino speaks of Reesing, he uses the word "continue" a lot.
"He needs to just constantly work, getting his reads, and continue to get rid of the ball quickly," Mangino said. " He's going to get a lot of looks. They're going to try to fool him. He has to continue to be a good student of the game."
Reesing enters his junior season with the same burden as his team. They must prove they aren't one-year wonders, and must do so against a schedule that includes road games at South Florida, Oklahoma and Nebraska.
Cody Hawkins, ColoradoLike the Buffaloes themselves, the sophomore needs to prove he can win more than half his starts. Late last season, Hawkins significantly cut back on his mistakes. In the final four games of the regular season, Hawkins threw six touchdowns and only one interception in 120 attempts.
Then came the big stage. On the Buffs' first offensive snap of the Independence Bowl, Hawkins threw it over the middle right to Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain, who returned it 17 yards to the Colorado 15.
When Hawkins got to the sideline, his father, head coach Dan Hawkins, looked at him and smiled. Cody said, "I know. Never throw the ball late down the middle."
Hawkins threw for 322 yards and three touchdowns and nearly brought the Buffs back from a 27-0 deficit before they lost 30-24. The second half of that bowl game is what Colorado and Hawkins need to use as a springboard for 2008. In the first scrimmage of the preseason Monday, Hawkins went 17-of-26 for 268 yards and three touchdowns. Yeah, something like that.
Zac Robinson, Oklahoma StateCowboys coach Mike Gundy repeated it constantly at Big 12 media days last month: Robinson is one of three players to rush for more than 800 yards and throw for more than 2,800 yards last season. One of the other ones won the Heisman Trophy.
Robinson took over at quarterback after Bobby Reid got hurt early in the season. Robinson, a junior, might have received more attention last season had Gundy's postgame media rant not sucked up all the bandwidth in the state of Oklahoma for several weeks. Cowboys offensive coordinator Larry Fedora slowly adapted the offense to Robinson's gifts; by the end of last season, Robinson ran many more zone-read plays out of the spread, and the Cowboys' tempo picked up.
This season, the show belongs to Robinson. Fedora has become the head coach at Southern Mississippi. Co-coordinators Trooper Taylor and Gunter Brewer have kept Robinson as the focus. Robinson has had a spring, summer and August in which he has earned the majority of the reps. He's a year smarter, stronger and faster. He'd better be smart. No other quarterback has taken a snap.
Joe Ganz, NebraskaGanz stepped in last season after Sam Keller suffered a season-ending shoulder injury and threw for more than 400 yards in each of three starts.
New coach Bo Pelini would like the offense to tilt a little more toward tailback Marlon Lucky. But he thought enough of what the Huskers did last season to keep offensive coordinator Shawn Watson. That makes Ganz's job easier. All he has to show is that he can perform over the course of the season the way he did in the last three games of 2007.
"He's a dynamic leader, somebody who plays with a tremendous amount of confidence and that toughness about him," Pelini said of Ganz, calling him "the kind of guy you want leading your offense."
Stephen McGee, Texas A&MFor McGee, the task is simple. The senior must prove he can prevent losing his starting job to sophomore Jerrod Johnson. That's life with a new head coach and a new pro-style offense.
McGee established himself as a future star in 2005 when he stepped into the starting lineup against undefeated Texas and led an Aggies team that pushed the No. 2 Longhorns before losing, 40-29. Three years later, McGee remains a future star. He has surpassed 2,900 total yards in each of the past two seasons, but didn't pass as well last season as he had in 2006.
McGee underwent shoulder surgery during the offseason, and there's good news for the joint: He won't be asked to run for 899 yards, as he did in 2007. But he has only last spring's experience in taking snaps under center, and he doesn't have Johnson's arm, either. McGee must prove he can drop back and throw, and do so well enough that he can put off Johnson's arrival in the starting lineup for one more season.
Austen Arnaud, Iowa StateArnaud is Ames' own version of Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers. The redshirt sophomore replaces Bret Meyer, who started the past 48 games that the Cyclones played. Arnaud is 6-3 and 230, and he's shown the ability to run and pass effectively dating back to his Gatorade Player of the Year performance at Ames High in 2005. Entrusted with a first-quarter drive against Kansas State, Arnaud took the Cyclones downfield for a touchdown in the 31-20 victory.
Arnaud is homegrown and has Cyclones bones. His dad, John, started in the Iowa State secondary from 1980 to 1982. As if enough isn't expected of Arnaud, the hometown hero, Dad went 3-0 against Iowa.
Kirby Freeman, BaylorThe fifth-year senior transferred from Miami in December, before the rule change went into effect to no longer allow transferring graduates to be eligible without sitting out one season. Freeman, who will play for his third coaching staff in three seasons, has to prove that he will be more comfortable in his native Texas than he ever looked at the U, where in three seasons he started seven games and put up mediocre numbers (92 completions-197 attempts-16 interceptions, 1,311 yards, 12 touchdowns).
Freeman has to prove that he can convince new coach Art Briles that spending one year on him instead of giving the job to freshman Robert Griffin is the right foundation to lay for the future.

An Italian court convicted the former captain of the Costa Concordia cruise liner on Wednesday for his role in the 2012 shipwreck that killed 32 people and sentenced him to 16 years in prison.
Francesco Schettino was commanding the vessel, a floating hotel as long as three football pitches, when it came too close to shore and hit rocks off the Tuscan holiday island of Giglio. (REUTERS)

Following in the Footsteps of Magellan
It has been a long held ambition of mine to visit the Spice Islands. Long forgotten, they were once the most important place in the world, the source of nutmeg, cloves and mace, the most sought after and expensive commodities in the early modern world. The European voyages of exploration by Columbus, Vasco de Gama and Magellan can, in part, be explained by a desire to take control of these islands, which is ...
Laha - An overnight stay
After coming back from the Banda Islands we had to stay another night on Ambon Island. We decided to stay with our 'no show' friend Michael who was supposed to meet us at the airport when we first arrived in Ambon.
Michael has a homestay at his Aunty's house which is 50m from the airport in the village of Laha. Their house is at the start of the run ...
Ambon - the gateway to the Banda Islands
... some people must call it home.
Accommodation - Victoria Guesthouse.
The quote "you get what you pay for" probably best sums up the Guesthouse in Kota Ambon. We paid around $20 a night including breakfast. The breakfast consisted of black coffee or tea, a chocolate donut and some green cake. The second morning we asked them to hold the dessert (breakfast) and just bring the coffee as it was pretty ordinary.
Manager style
... flight flying first class isn't exactly bad.

Upon arrival, the station manager met us, and I didn't understand most of the conversation since he was speaking to TJ in Bahasa.-- People talking around us is a reoccurring theme of this trip.-- From the airport we started on our drive to downtown Ambon is which is an hour from the airport. Along the way we stopped at a fresh fish place. One of the workers opened a cooler and spoke with TJ who chose ...
Wasn't planning on coming back here again.
... decided that i would take the ferry back to Ambon on the 7th and then get a flight elsewhere from there, so after three nights on Palau Ai took the local boat back to Bandaneira and caught the Kelimutu back to Ambon. This time it left at 7am and arrived in Ambon at 7pm. Checked into the Royal Hotel this time not far from the port which was much nicer than the Asri but more expensive at Rp175,000 for a twin ...

The most common issues with losing civilians during the escort phase:
1. team members left their assigned zone and are escorting the wrong civilians to the wrong ship, you don't have enough people to kill the vampires fast enough to protect the civilians. Especially a problem when the alphas show up.
2. AFK team members
3. Team members get confused by the vampires and kill the civilians. Especially common with grenades and other aoe attacks.
4. bad coordination and the team gets too spread out. One guy runs ahead spawning lots of enemies, others don't herd the civilians so they get left behind.
One important thing to remember: you can revive dead civilians if you're fast enough.
When you have no healing on your team sometimes it's the only way to make it through the escort.

Day out at Akaroa
... Queenstown late afternoon.
Ian and i go for wander to find a bottle-shop as the drinks in the hotel bar are quite pricey. We return with a mini-carton (15 bottles) for our room that only cost us $20.
Dinner tonight is with Ian, John 'Seagull' Dighton and Eric 'Hagar the Horrible' Streat and while we were looking for a Chinese place we end up at another Thai restaurant. I have the minced pork toast and a Thai coconut chicken soup - it was fabulous.
... for breakfast, which was lovely and we all ate too much. We all went to a wine tour (self drive) to Brokenwood, Tulloch and Mount Pleasant ( which had a lovely restaurant, must remember for next time). Home for lunch with fresh bread which Pat heated up and with all that we had bought on Monday was great. In the afternoon we had a free tour of Tambourine winery (an organic winery). This started off unusually with a staff member Declan who took us a tour ...
The adventure has begun !
Well after months of planning and preparing the day has finally arrived ... Time to leave New Zealand for awhile to go on my African adventure! Drove up from Timaru to Christchurch Airport to check in ( had to wait for awhile for the desks to open lol ... Always so early) then after a couple of repacks of luggage and a couple of other small problems I had my boarding passes and could go and join my family for a bit before I went through security ( never take stock powder ...
Setting up.....
We arrived at 2 am into Christchurch airport and hopped in a taxi to stay with our new Air BnB hosts Gary and Kirsty.
We had searched online for people who would be willing to take us in and let us hang about until we had established ourselves in Christchurch! We hit the jackpot with Gary and Kirsty, their funny little fluffball of a dog Alfie and the world's only friendly cat; Figaro.

Friend recently gifted me chair (Eames?)
A friend of mine recently gifted me a Chair since he was moving and didn't have room for it in his new house. It appears to be an Eames type chair and I just wanted to find out more about it. Link to the pictures: http://s1161.photobucket.com/albums/q509/eames654/
It looks like a knock off to me, from what I can see.
They are worth what someone will pay in a given market.
The Eames version has never been out of production and they are really expensive $4500-5700 retail, so this tends to drive the price of vintage ones in good condition. Only a very early or prototypical one will be worth more, independent of condition.
Look at eBay or 1st dibs under Eames or Eames style lounge to see prices of the real thing and for pictures to compare the real vs. the imitators.
There are some good knock of of the Eames chair, so good in fact that it is hard to tell. The Eames lawyers come after the knock off companies with a vengence so they are getting more difficult to find. It's a nice gift either way and you have a good friend. Enjoy it.

The premise of any science fiction movie worth its salt is robots operating without human supervision for long stretches of time. (Those pesky robots do get into trouble, don't they?) Researchers at the UK's Bristol Robotics Laboratory have brought us a step closer to that prospect with the Ecobot III, the first robot capable of powering itself by consuming and excreting biomass that can run unsupervised for a full week. The bot uses a set of 48 microbial fuel cells to break down its food, extracting electrons from the metabolic process to run ultra low-power circuitry.
So what exactly does it eat? Why, partially processed sewage of course! It navigates toward a trough and "eats" what it needs, generating electricity by metabolizing its, err, meal with bacteria in the fuel cells. Any undigested matter gets pumped back up into the bot's gut to maximize its energy use. The waste is, shall we say, "purged" every 24 hours with a colon-like pump that uses pressure waves to expel it into a litter tray.
Chris Melhuish, director of the lab, said the robot was called Ecobot III, but admitted "diarrhea-bot would be more appropriate, as it's not exactly knocking out rabbit pellets." Well, as they say: garbage in, garbage out.
This tasty little system is C02-neutral, but, as it stands now, the bot gets just 1 percent of the energy available from its "food." Its efficiency will likely improve with new iterations, though, and the Bristol team sees value in powering such release-and-forget robots with a wider range of — again the scare quotes — "foodstuffs" than would work in robots that burn, rather than digest, biomass. But you might want to bring a match along just in case if you'll be spending any time with this R2D2.
