MADISON, Wis. (AP) — When one Wisconsin running back goes down, there's always another ready to take his place.
Good thing, because the Badgers needed every one of 'em to fend off UTEP on Saturday.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — When one Wisconsin running back goes down, there's always another ready to take his place.
Good thing, because the Badgers needed every one of 'em to fend off UTEP on Saturday.
With Heisman Trophy finalist Montee Ball sidelined early by an apparent concussion, James White ran for a pair of touchdowns and Melvin Gordon had 112 yards on the ground, including a 26-yard scoring run late in the fourth quarter that sealed the 37-26 victory.
"Nothing's going to change," Gordon said. "We're still going to move the chains."
Jared Abbrederis added a 47-yard TD reception in his first game back from a concussion. The Badgers (3-1) have won 26 straight at home against non-conference opponents, a streak that dates back to September 2003.
The Miners (1-3) fell to 0-17 in road games against BCS conference teams, but they did not go away easily. Their 26 points were the most allowed by Wisconsin this year, and they scored 13 unanswered points to cut the lead to 23-19 with 7:59 to play. But UTEP fumbled the ensuing kickoff, Wisconsin recovered and Gordon scored on the next play to finish the Miners off.
Nick Lamaison threw for 259 yards and two touchdowns, and Steven Valadez kicked field goals from 45 and 43 yards.
"Every loss we've had was a winnable game," Lamaison said. "A lot of us are pretty frustrated because we've been in every game, but we're not finishing it out."
The Badgers began the year with high hopes for the Big Ten title — and more — but have been mediocre, at best. This was another shaky effort, and losing Ball early didn't help. A roughing-the-passer penalty on UTEP's third drive gave the Miners the ball at the Wisconsin 39, and Lamaison found Michael Edwards in the end zone.
But that seemed to finally wake the Badgers up. Konrad Zagzebski got his body in front of Valadez's extra point attempt, and Devin Smith scooped up the ball and raced the length of the field to make it 6-2. According to Wisconsin, it was the first time the Badgers had returned a blocked extra point for two points since the NCAA adopted the rule in 1988.
Gordon opened the Wisconsin drive with a 20-yard run, and Ball followed with a 22-yard rumble that gave the Badgers the ball at the UTEP 25. Five plays later, Ball scored on a 1-yard run. But he got knocked around on the play, looking wobbly as he got up. The medical staff only needed a few minutes to decide he was done for the day, and Ball spent the second half on the sidelines in street clothes.

Clean Air for Iranian Cities
The government of Dr. Rouhani has launched a major campaign for better air quality for our large cities. The program adopted last year by the cabinet undertakes several dimensions and cuts across many different sectors.The DOE has undertaken the management of this mega project in national dimensions. The improvement of fuel quality despite continuing sanctions in these areas resulted in the distribution of euro 4 quality petroleum and diesel in many areas leading to a decrease in aromatic and sulfur content. The automotive industry also began implementing euro4 standards under our continuous inspection processes. Power plants were controlled in terms of the heavy fuels they were accustomed to using before. 300000 obsolete cars were outphased for recycling and replaced by new cars under a new incentive promoted by the government. All these measures and many more led to a gradual but significant improvement of air quality in our mega cities. Tehran had 44 days of better air quality as comparedto the previous year. This indicates we are on a correct track but that we also need to continue and ensure the efficient implementation of this vital project. After Nowrooz we have had very clean air in Tehran and many cities here are some pictures I have taken from Tehran yesterday.

Talks in Paris
I was invited by the Executive Director of UNESCO to attend a session on the appraisal of achievement s of the Beijing World Conference on Women twenty years later. I spoke on the advances but also obstacles women face worldwide. I mentioned the consumerist and materialistic approach that plagues our world today and results in the erosion of both ethics and the nature we rely on for existence. Six women were invited to speak about their views, three of us had attended the fourth world conference in 1995. I also met separately with Irina Bokova and spoke about joint activities.
I had a speech at the Diplomatic Club in Paris where I spoke on the moderation policies of the Government of Dr.Rouhani. The program was ensued by a lengthy question and answer session dealing with all aspects of social and political affairs.
Medef International is a French corporate sector alliance which also held a session where I spoke frankly about business opportunities in the field of environment for about 70 business leaders.
I had a working lunch session with several media directors including Le Monde and Figaro and others. Again I responded to many questions not only on internal politics but also the nuclear deal and prospects for improving relations with the west.
I also spoke with a group of Parliamentarians from the French Congress and Senate over dinner .We exchanged views on issues like ways to combat climate change and extremism.
My meeting with Laurin Fabius, the French Foreign Minister recieved alot of media attention. Fabius is leading the negotiations on climate change which will finalize later this year in Paris. We discussed many issues of mutual interest.

Fourteenth environment exhibition of Tehran
On the occasion of the fourteenth International Environment Exhibition, we had three high level international guests. The Environment Ministers of Lebanon, Russia and the Vice Minister of Japan arrived for the inaugural session. I had bilateral sessions and we discussed areas of practical cooperation. With Japan we had a policy dialogue session to follow the MOC that we had previously adopted. The Russian Minster signed the Biodiversity Protocol of the Tehran Convention for the Protection of the Caspian Sea Environment and our directors signed an action plan on joint collaboration.
The year's exhibiton was convened under the theme of Green Economy ,Resilient Economy. In the opening ceremony, the First Vice President of Iran Dr Jahangiri, spoke on the importance the government of Dr. Rouhani attaches to the environment and the green economy.In addition, the minsters of Russia, Japan and Lebanon also spoke on the need for regional and international efforts to protect planet earth. I then visited the different booths and met both private sector and NGO s active in this field. 290 different business and economic sectors had participated . In addition, over 80 NGOs and firms from 14 countries had taken part, it was an important event since we need to make the connection between economic activity and advances in the protection ot our global environment.
Many new innovations in fields of renewable energies, recycling, waste management, water purification and treatment systems, air filtration technologies,energy efficiency methods biodiversity protection and many more new technologies were presented at the fair . This creates opportunities for trade, exchange of views and know how in areas pertaining to environment protection.

Now Prophet Muhammad ,Messenger of God
by Tariq Ramadan (download PDF)
In reality no Biography of Prophet Muhammad can really suffice to know him for he was all together someone else, the like of which humanity never saw before, never will in future. Language falls short to describe his appearances let alone the splendor of his character, the utter compassion flowing from his heart, the excellence of his mind, his ethical behavior and unmatched generosity and his unparalleled skill as a teacher of truth. Yet many prominent scholars have studied his life and produced remarkable works.
"You have good example in God's Apostle for anyone who looks to God and the Last Day and Remember God always." - The Quran
Here are some books and references introduced by authorites on Islamic thought.
What interpretation of Islam is authentic, what is the true spirit of Islam and who was the Prophet of Islam ? These are the questions we face today considering the violent and hateful behavior of a group who have displayed cruel acts and wreaked havoc in many parts of the world. The importance of a full and complete biography of the Messenger as available to us can not be under estimated in this troubled time since both Muslims as well as Non Muslims have serious knowledge gap and even misunderstandings when it comes to recognition of the nature and behaviour of the Final Prophet and Messenger of God sent to all of humanity, who came to restore the primordial religion of Man.

Some of the Testimonial about Prophet Muhammad by Scholars and Thinkers of the past
"The world is in dire need of a man with the mind of Muhammad; religious people in the Middle Ages, due to their ignorance and prejudice, had pictured him in a very dark way as they used to consider him the enemy of Christianity. But after looking into the story of this man I found it to be an amazing and a miraculous one, and I came to the conclusion that he was never an enemy of Christianity, and must be called instead the savior of humanity. In my opinion, if he was to be given control over the world today, he would solve our problems and secure the peace and happiness which the world is longing for." - George Bernard Shaw, the British playwright
"It is impossible for anyone who studies the personality of the great Prophet of the Arabs, and come to know how this prophet he used to live, and how he taught the people, but to feel respect towards this honorable prophet; one of the great messengers whom Allaah sent" - Annie Besant, wrote in 'The Life and Teachings of Muhammad'
"If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of a human genius, who could dare compare any great man in history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws, and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislations, empires, peoples, dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and the souls. Philosopher, Orator, Apostle, Legislator, Conqueror of Ideas, Restorer of Rational beliefs... The founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire -- that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?" - Alphonse de La Martaine wrote in 'Historie de la Turquie'
"Muhammad was a shining example to his people. His character was pure and stainless. His house, his dress, his food - they were characterized by a rare simplicity. So unpretentious was he that he would receive from his companions no special mark of reverence, nor would he accept any service from his slave which he could do for himself. He was accessible to all and at all times. He visited the sick and was full of sympathy for all. Unlimited was his benevolence and generosity as also was his anxious care for the welfare of the community." - Dr. Gustav Weil writes in 'History of the Islamic Peoples'
"It is a great shame for any one to listen to the accusation that Islaam is a lie and that Muhammad was a fabricator and a deceiver. We saw that he remained steadfast upon his principles, with firm determination; kind and generous, compassionate, pious, virtuous, with real manhood, hardworking and sincere. Besides all these qualities, he was lenient with others, tolerant, kind, cheerful and praiseworthy and perhaps he would joke and tease his companions. He was just, truthful, smart, pure, magnanimous and present-minded; his face was radiant as if he had lights within him to illuminate the darkest of nights; he was a great man by nature who was not educated in a school nor nurtured by a teacher as he was not in need of any of this." - The British philosopher, Thomas Carlyle, who won the Nobel Prize for his book 'The Heroes' wrote:
"Us, Europeans, with all our concepts could not reach what Muhammad has reached, and no one will be able to precede him. I have looked in the history of humanity for an example and found that it was Muhammad, as the truth must be revealed. Indeed, Muhammad succeeded to subdue the entire world to monotheism". - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the German writer

Christmas, Hopes and Woes
As Christmas arrives the atmosphere of festivity spreads not only in the Western / Christian hemisphere but also in other areas of the world, including here in Tehran where you can see Christmas decorations in many shops and stores. The sentiment of hope for peaceful coexistence among followers of different religions and sects is now stronger than ever in Iran, with the postive steps taken to improve social and political conditions by the Rouhani administration, even though challenges still persist. Armenians not only celebrate freely but their presence is clearly felt in the mainstream media, I was reading a debate about the increasing prices of a Christmas tree in Tehran yesterday in a daily newspaper.Or the visit I had last year to the Armenian cultural and sports club Ararat which recieved widespread media coverage.
Yet this not the general image in the region, American military adventurism in the past decades instigated by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan has left indelible scars of pain, suffering and destruction in most countries of the region. In addition to Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq that still suffer from violence, terror and insecurity now hallmarked by the fabrication of DAESH,Palestine Libya,Somalia,Yemen, Egypt and many more have faced the exodus of Christians and minorities who have faced persecution at the hands of terrorists who are mandated to smear the image of Islam and sow discord and insecurity in the region.In an artcle entitled "Why Millions will Mourn this Christmas " http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2014/december/23/why-millions-of-christians-will-mourn-this-christmas/, Evan Mcadams best described the predicament :"It will be a miserable Christmas for the overseas victims of US interventions this year. Though "regime change" proponents talk of bringing freedom and democracy to the countries they target, the end result is quite the opposite: the rise of extremism, famine, ethnic cleansing, and economic destruction are what the US government has left behind in places like Iraq, Syria, and Ukraine."
In Iran many observers see positve prospects for the final resolution of the Nuclear issue particularly after the restoration of ties with Cuba which has improved the approval ratings of the US President, there is much speculation that negotiations will pave the way for the success of the nuclear talks and lifting of the illegal sanctions against our nation.
Iran now has undeniable leverage in the Islamic world, the current Iranian administration percieves this as an opportunity to promote peace and security in the region and to combat terrorism and extremism which most probably parallels the interests of the nations in the Western Hemisphere. Mr. Obama now has a unique chance to improve the image of the USG smeared by war mongering,torture and racism, to counter the extemists who rely on blood and the suffering for their dominion and to come to terms with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Phoenix Suns
Updated May 7, 2013 - 9:35 am
Gambo: Indications are Ryan McDonough will be Suns' new GM
As the Phoenix Suns continue their search for a new general manager, Arizona Sports 620's John Gambadoro tweeted the following Tuesday morning:
Expect the Suns to make a decision regarding the General Manager sometime today, all indications I am getting is that it's Ryan McDonough— John Gambadoro (@Gambo620) May 7, 2013
McDonough, 33, has a decade of experience in the front office of the Boston Celtics and has served as assistant general manager to Danny Ainge for the last two seasons.
The Massachusetts native is known for a tireless work ethic and was instrumental in the Celtics swinging a draft day trade with the Suns for guard Rajon Rondo in 2006.

Great stay, no issues with picking up the keys at a nearby location. The loft was nice and and perfect I'd say for up to 2 people. Very comfortable bed and nice living room. Great neighborhood with lots of nice restaurants and bars nearby, the location couldn't be any better!
Maru was a great host! We loved the apartment, it was very spacious for us (2 people). Her projector was a wonderful discovery for us. The area is also very cool. Lots of fun bars and restaurants. Will definitely recommend booking if your looking for a fun stay in bushwick.
Maru's apartment is exactly as pictured. It's in an interesting part of Brooklyn with loads of cafes, bars etc nearby. And is super close to the L train which takes you right into Manhattan. We really enjoyed out stay!
Brilliant apartment exactly as described if not more spacious in reality! Maru extremely easy to deal with before and during my stay! Good location to links into manhattan and the local area to the apartment is also cool! Very good coffee shop 20 seconds from the apartment! Would definitely stay ahead if needed, the only bad part was there is no lift so walking up the stairs with a suitcase was difficult!
Maru's place was lovely, comfortable, and checking in and out was a breeze. Everything I could have wanted or needed, and beyond that, a really great deal! Would definitely stay again.
We stayed in the apartment for 2 weeks, so we got to know it pretty well. First of all I want to say that we had an issue with the apartment (something broke) which Maru handled with great integrity (and didnt take advantage of the situation like you could imagine some owner might) and I want to thank her for it . I think integrity is key in this kind of short term rentals.
Maru welcomed us outside the apartment, and was very helpful in rescheduling the time as we had a delay in our arrival.
Like people said before, the apartment is close to the L line, and basically you get to times square in 30 minutes. we found that it was very easy to use it as a "home base" to explore Manhattan but also Brooklyn which had a lot to offer.
The apartment had everything we needed, kitchen stuff, some basic cooking items etc..The bedroom was very comfy overall and so i'd say that value for money this apartment is great.
Do take note, the apartment isnt very big, but certainly enough to relax (watch netflix) or dine.
There were some issues with the heating which was leaking (and used a container to control the leak), In essence, we had the container got full once/twice a day. hopefully this would be fixed soon and wont be an issue.
I also read in a previous review that the apartment was cold, I can say from our experience this was not true (and it was cold outside when we stayed). Yes when we just entered it the apartment was a little "chili" but this was due to all the windows being completely open. once we closed some of the apartment heated up and was quite fast very pleasant.
We had a lovely time in Maru's apartment in Bushwick. She was great in getting back to us with everything we needed to know on a timely manner. The flat is very light and the bed super comfortable.
So enjoyed staying at Maru's loft apartment in Brooklyn!! Very cozy and clean with a cool projector/Netflix set-up and amazing views of Manhattan from the roof! She helped guide us to some great places to eat! Plus, the apartment is very close to several unique coffee shops and just a few blocks from both the J and M trains with easy access to the City. Would definitely recommend this spot!
Maru was a very welcoming and communicative host during our stay this December. We had made a different reservation on AirBnB that was cancelled hours before we were set to arrive, and Maru was fantastic about accommodating us at the last minute. She gave us easy to follow instructions, left the apartment very well stocked, and was readily available to answer questions. We also really appreciated having both a washer/dryer and dishwasher in the apartment. That being said - I feel that this apartment is overpriced for the amount of space, the location, and the general condition of the apartment. While it is very functional and homey, the space was very crammed for 4 guests (I would recommend no more than 2 for this apartment). The futon is also not very comfortable, and some of the other furniture isn't in great condition (a heavy door kept falling off the kitchen cabinet, nails were sticking out of the futon base, several light bulbs were out but hadn't been changed). Also, guests should note that the walls of the apartment are apartment are pretty thin; there was a very audible Christmas Eve party going on below us until 2am and then a few nights later I think someone was refinishing their floors below us until about 11pm.
We had a great experience with Maru. She quickly responded to my inquiry and made herself available should we require anything for the duration of our stay.
The apartment was clean, comfortable and as advertised. Absolutely no complaints! I would recommend it to any out of towners looking to stay in Bushwick.
Maru fue una muy buena huesped, aunque hubo un poco de problema para coordinar la entrega de llaves Maru fue muy linda, y definitivamente es super bienvenida de nuevo.
Maru was an excellent guest everytime i highly recommend to any host in airbnb hope you enjoy your stay and welcome back anytime

Thing of Many Names...
This rose, according to Jeri and others, has been found all over California. It now exists in various public rose gardens under about 15 study names! No kidding - every time it was found it got a new name. They have looked carefully at most of them, and decided it is all this one rose. No identification yet. So, now it is being called the "Thing of Many Names".
I took this picture of mine today. It is a rooted cutting from one I found a block from my house growing in the garden of a house built c. 1900. The lady who lives there has lived there for 60 years, and says it was there when she moved in.
Very fragrant, and blooms all Summer. Mine is only about 4 years old. Here is a pic:
Yes, I agree. Jeri says that in her coastal cool humid climate it gets BS, but here where it is warmer and dryer it just gets a little bit, and only at the end of the season - look how clean it is, and I have never sprayed it (except with that rotten egg stuff to keep the deer from eating it).
Pam and Kim - no one had ever suggested 'La Reine' might be my rose. It does look a lot more like LR than Geant de Batailles, another suggestion. The color of GdB is WAY darker than my rose has ever shown - it matches the color of LR as far as I can tell from pics. Also the fat spherical buds of LR match the ones on my rose perfectly. It is of course possible that my rose is NOT exactly the same as the 15 other found mystery roses, but is actually La Reine, and they are all something else. All appear to be HPs from the middle of the 19th century, in similar tones of pink, so who knows? I'm sure there are other possibilities. Thanks for the suggestion.
You're welcome, Jackie. I think because of the distribution La Reine enjoyed; the popularity of the name; durability of the cultivar, how easily it's propagated, how vigorously it can sucker, and the scent and beauty, it's a very good bet the lion's share of the similar found roses are La Reine. I sent both La Reine and Crestline to Malcolm Manners in hopes it might be tested. (fingers crossed!) Kim
I grow McCarthy Plot, one of the versions of the Rose of Many Names. I think it is way too big a plant to be La Reine - I'd have to go out in the daylight and measure but I am thinking a good six feet tall and may get bigger yet in time..
This post was edited by regina_nv on Tue, May 6, 14 at 1:39
The Rose Of Many Names is NOT 'La Reine.'
I'll give you Crestline Mulberry, De la Vina Mystery, and even Barbara's Pasture Rose (though it's size and habit are WAY different) but NOT TROMN!
Here is "Bud Jones" (one of its many names) . . . And I can tell you, they are nothing like. Not in habit, not in foliage. Not in bloom form.
OOPS! No, that is "Gilbert Plot" (which looks just like "Bud Jones," et al).
Here is "Huckins Plot" (note, sporting to light pink -- this is something we've not observed before).
All same-same (but for the sport) -- note that the color is extremely variable. But this ain't 'La Reine' or even "Like-La Reine.'

What is eating my marigolds?
Just planted a few a couple days ago. About 25% of them have almost no greenery left. Something chewed them up.
The Petunias I have nearby seem untouched.
What do you think is causing the Marigold damage?
Well, in my garden it is ALWAYS the pill bugs and the sow bugs (who live in the mulch) and the organic solution is Slug-Go or any other organic, iron phosphate-based snail and slug killer (NOT a chemical snail and slug killer whose active ingredient is metaldahyde).
It might not be those pests in your garden though. I have a chicken wire fence around the bottom two feet of my woven wire garden fencing and that chicken wire almost always keeps the bunnies out.
It could be anything. Look for insects out in the evening or early morning and that might help you "catch" whatever is eating the marigolds.
You're welcome.
I had the same problem with marigolds for several years and it took me a while to make the connection. Once I started watching, it seemed like I had about a billion pill bugs and sow bugs. Using the Slug-Go doesn't totally wipe them out, but it keeps the damage to a minimum.
This year I have purchased and used a Slug-Go-type iron phosphate product at Home Depot. I think it was called Snail and Slug Killer and it was in an aqua and white bag, and it probably was with the organic products and not the regular ones.
It is some kind of night feeder:
1. Rolly pollies - Pill bugs and Sow bugs will eat up young tender Marigolds.
2. Slugs will too if they are in a wet & soggy area.
3. Earwigs will devastate your garden. They also eat up your strawberry plants, flowers and leaves.
Any or all of these are prime suspects.
So....Go out tonight with a flashlight and do a little detective work. Then you will catch them in the act.
~ sweetannie4u
Pill bugs and sow bugs are related to one another, and even though we think of them as bugs, they are not actually insects--they are crustaceans. They often attack and eat marigolds, but I have only seen that happen here in southern OK in the cooler months--mainly April or May.
The only solution I've ever found is to use one of the iron phosphate products (Slug-Go, Slug-Go Plus, Escar-Go, Organic Snail and Slug Killer) marketed as a snail and slug control. I have used Slug-Go for several years and it has greatly reduced damage from pill bugs and sow bugs. This year I switched to a new form of Slug-Go called Slug-Go Plus, which is like the original Slug-Go but has had spinosad added to make it even more effective against crustaceans.
The odor of the Marigold's leaves does often act as insect repellent, but it doesn't repel everything. In addition to sowbugs and pillbugs, rabbits often eat my marigolds. About the only other pest I've ever seen on marigolds are spider mites.

Economic Lunacy - $8k exten (and vet owner additions!)
Economic Lunacy - $8k exten (and vet owner additions!)
Will Congress Extend the First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit?
One big question looming over Congress when it returns from its summer recess next month: what to do about that $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers?
Not only are some legislators (and real-estate industry lobbyists) already pushing hard for an extension of the tax credit, which will expire Nov. 30, but theyÂre also arguing that it should be increased, to $15,000, and expanded to all buyers, and not just those who are first-timers. The current $8,000 tax credit emerged in the stimulus legislation that Congress passed in February, replacing an existing $7,500 credit that had to be repaid over 15 years.
When will we stop picking at the scabs of the bubble and simply let it heal?
We're giving away "free leverage" to newbie buyers already...
We have BEEN giving away "free leverage" to homeowners via income tax deductions...
How's that worked for us so far?
I think any attempt to "go long" on housing based on this is playing with fire. Can't say it suggests any shorts either...
If it implies any particular trading strategy its selling option premium in a hedged manner... because we're going to see a lot more volatility, with no trend confirmations.
Luck to all!
Here is a link that might be useful: Pushing for more
Dave, for what it's worth, I'm also against extending the first time home buyers credit. Sooner or later, the stimulus money is going to run out. I'd rather get it over with and start rebuilding the economy.
The vet expense deduction, also know as the HAPPY act, is one of the most bizzare ideas I've heard yet.
