Hundreds of pictures of the artists who have graced the stage of Verizon Wireless Music Center in Noblesville, IN line the backstage wall, serving as a constant reminder of the incredible history of the amphitheatre known best by its former name, Deer Creek. Perhaps the most infamous night here was in July 1995 when thousands of fans crashed the gates to get into a Grateful Dead concert, birthing the ubiquitous "Gatecrashers Suck" stickers.
No one crashed the gates on Saturday, though the 24,000-capacity amphitheatre was stretched to its absolute limit for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' triumphant return to the Hoosier State for first show of the second leg of the Mojo Summer 2010 tour. Though rain welcomed the band for their last two appearances here, the stormy weather held off and fans were treated to a gorgeous summer day for tailgating before the Drive-By Truckers took the stage as the sun dipped below the horizon. The Truckers welcomed David Hood, an original Muscle Shoals Swamper and father to lead singer Patterson Hood, to sit in for the Staples Singers' "Respect Yourself," a song the elder Hood played bass on for the original recording. Mike Campbell of the Heartbreakers could be seen standing sidestage watching with a wide grin.
From the opening notes of "Listen to Her Heart," it was clear Indiana was ready for Tom and The Heartbreakers. Mike Campbell's piercing guitar riff led a defiant "I Won't Back Down," but the highlight was "Mary Jane's Last Dance," with the massive crowd rising up to meet Tom's vocals as he sang, "She grew up in an Indiana town/Had a good-lookin' mama who never was around/But she grew up tall and she grew up right/With them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights." Doesn't get much better than that. The second leg of the tour is off to a fantastic start. We'll see you in Kansas City on Tuesday!

Comments about Velox Tressostar Bar Tape:
I bought this as a cheap classic bar tape but realised a few things. yes its very classic looking but, its slightly difficult to install as it has less stretch than cork, the entire rear surface has sticky tape so you can get the tape crumpled easily and it has to be untangled and the most surprising is that one roll only covers one side of the bar. other than that, it was cheap. would likely only ever use it as a bar tape finisher for a classic bike.
Comments about Velox Tressostar Bar Tape:
too many recreational riders think they need some uberpadded bar tape with embossed italian print wrapped over overpriced bar pads, and they think this as they putz around at 20kph with their hands on the tops.Jenson should add a few colors

Before starting your freshman year in college, everyone seems to give you the same advice and pretty much tell you to stay on track and to keep up with your studies. However, no one really offers any realistic advice. Well here are a few things that I think a freshman should know when getting ready to start their college journey.

Many students spend the first few semesters of their college experience struggling to find out what they want to do with their life (I sure did), but there is help out there! Internships serve as the "test drive" for careers you think you might be interested in, and are extremely helpful in making a decision on a major, and eventually a career path.

Some cooks use only dried oregano, but the Greek Oregano from my garden is an herb I've really come to appreciate the more I use it. Oregano is a perennial that grows easily, and smells wonderful when it's cut. This salad with Greek Oregano is my entry for Haalo's Weekend Herb Blogging, hosted this week by Marije from Palachinka, a charming blog about Serbian food.
Lentil Salad with Green Olives, Red Bell Pepper, Green Onion, and Greek Oregano
(Makes 4-6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
1 cup brown lentils
1 T + 1 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 T + 1 T balsamic vinegar
1 T + 3 T olive oil
1 red bell pepper, diced small
1 jar (6 oz.) green olives
3/4 cup sliced green onion
1/2 tsp. Spike Seasoning
1/2 tsp. sweet paprika
3/4 cup finely chopped Greek Oregano (or less)
salt/fresh ground black pepper to taste
Dump lentils into a colander and let drain about 15 minutes, then toss with 1 t each of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar. Let lentils marinate in the fridge for a few hours if you have time. (You can skip the marinating step if you're rushed, but at least toss the warm lentils with the oil, vinegar, and lemon and let them marinate while you prep other ingredients.)
Chop red bell pepper and green onions and place in medium-sized plastic or glass bowl. Coarsely chop olives and add to bowl. (I used the bowl attachment of my immersion blender to chop the olives, which worked very well.)
Mix together remaining 1 T lemon juice, 1 T balsamic vinegar, Spike Seasoning, and sweet paprika, then whisk in 3 T olive oil. Add marinated lentils to ingredients in the bowl and gently combine with dressing. (You may not need all the dressing, depending on how wet you prefer your salads.)
Finely chop Greek Oregano with chef's knife and gently stir into salad. Season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
This will keep in the refrigerator for a few days.

One of the things about living in a city like Paris is that you spend a lot of time – well, dealing with life. Bills to pay, paperwork to do, typos to avoid, stolen bikes to replace, smokers to dodge on sidewalks waving lit cigarettes (I got nailed the other day – ouch!), or buying a pair of shoes, can easily take up much – or all – of your days. It's too-easy to get wrapped up in all that minutiae and let all the things you love to do get overwhelmed by the other things that tend to take over, if you let them.
I've let them and decided to do a little turn-around by revisiting the places and eating the things that I love in Paris. It's easy to forget the pockets of wonderfulness that people see when they come here for a week – the parks, the boulevards, the chocolate shops, and just taking a stroll and getting some air (in between all the sidewalk maneuvering) and take in the city.
Macarons aren't new. Macarons gerbet, or filled macarons are distinctly Parisian and have been around for about 150 years. True, they are available elsewhere nowadays. But like a New York or Montreal bagel, or Chicago deep-dish pizza, certain foods get designated with an appellation because they are so closely associated with where they were first made. (Bagels and pizza are from neither of those places mentioned, originally. And macarons, which were originally from Italy, then came to France and are usually available as simple, crispy cookies made with egg whites, sugar and almonds.) But that's getting back into minutiae, a word I had to look up the precise spelling for, twice (more minutiae!) and I'm more interested in tasting pastries. So I took a stroll over to the relatively new Pierre Hermé macaron boutique in the Marais.
Macarons kind of had their day in the soleil. Everyone wanted to either make them, or come to Paris and sample them. For a while, almost every day a question or two would land in my Inbox from people who were making macarons, wondering why their macarons didn't have the ruffled "feet", or why their tops cracked – and could I diagnose them? Interviewers were astonished when they'd ask me what flavors of macarons Parisians made at home, and I responded that I couldn't think of anyone that made macarons in Paris because no one had the space for a baking sheet on their kitchen counter. And honestly, it's easier for people to get them at their local pastry shop or bakery.

Three generations of David Lawrences, all from Harkers Island, have made the art of decoy carving accessible to folks from all walks of life.
While David Corey Lawrence said that some of his decoys are still used for hunting, a lot are purchased for the artistry, much like the creations his father, the late David Lawrence, made.
Corey, as he is known to family and friends, said his dad began carving decoys because the ones he used for hunting were often damaged in the boat. In the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, Lawrence and others made decoy carving a fine art. David Lawrence and six other carvers founded the Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild in coastal North Carolina. He also was a well-known sign painter and visual artist and was instrumental in founding the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum. He toured the country demonstrating decoy carving for Kincaid Furniture and promoted the Ducks Unlimited collection.
Corey was 14 years old when he started carving and painting decoys.
"He was concerned about the fact I could get hurt with the power tools so he started me off with hand tools. And once I proved I could do it with the power tools, then I did both," Corey said in a phone interview from Cincinnati, Ohio, last Friday.
Although power tools are now used in carving, too, Corey prefers the details hand tools lend to the work.
"I appreciate a piece more when it's by hand. It turns out to be a true piece of folk art then," he said.
Corey and his wife live in Beaufort and have been married 20 years with four children. Their oldest son is now 16 years old and is an award-winning carver, as well. He took home first place in species and third in his age division in the world competition recently held in Ocean City, Md.
Corey Lawrence's shop is in his garage and oftentimes, folks will drop by while father and son are carving.
"We get a lot of visitors," Corey said.
Father and son will be on hand for a carving demonstration/exhibit at the Point of View Art Gallery, 717 Chapel Hill Road, Burlington, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. July 11. The artwork will be on display through Aug. 31.
Passing down this tradition and celebrating the skill has been an incredible experience for Corey's family.
"If we don't continue skills like this, they'll go away. This is something my son can pass down to his children and grandchildren," he said.
The TLC series "Duck Dynasty" has made the art of duck call making accessible to those who may not be familiar with hunting; the same is true for decoy making.
"We've had people tell us that they knew the real 'Duck Dynasty' before the TV show," he said with a laugh. "It's really flattering and I'm humbled by the fact that my dad's work, as well as mine and my son's, have gained popularity. I'm so thankful and feel blessed people appreciate our work."
David Lawrence died of cancer 13 years ago, but his work is still sought after.
"One bird that's really special to us isn't for sale. My dad finished it 1/3 of the way through and then I completed it along with my son," Corey said. "Three generations have completed this bird. I call it 'my bird.' "
Corey said his dad would often do painting and other work for folks without charging.
"He literally just loved people and took time to help other artists," Corey said.
His father's influence continues to inspire Corey today.
Corey carves "for the pure enjoyment of it. I like the freedom of doing what I want when I want. I'm trying to carve more to hunt over, but people will stop over at the house and buy them. It's a good problem to have, though," he said with a laugh.

For the past four and a half months, football consumed a lot of the coverage from the Sun Journal.
It draws most of the interest.
We recently wrapped up the most memorable season this county has ever had.
The New Bern Bears won the 4A state championship with a dramatic 39-38 win over
How many counties can lay claim to two state champions in a single season?
As we move away from football season, and inch closer toward a new year, the Sun Journal has a short time to get a lot of work done.
The post-state championship coverage will include a special insert section to commemorate the titles won by
There are ring ceremonies, championship parades, oh, and we are providing coverage of winter sports teams.
Then comes the task of awarding our postseason accolades — or the All-Sun Journal team, along with Player of the Year and Coach of the Year.
It's a challenging job to decipher who the best players are, based on position, between five schools.
We hope to finalize our list (we may use Santa Claus to help with the list) on Monday or Tuesday. The All-Sun Journal Team will run on Sunday, Dec. 23.
We have an abundance of gifted athletes, so to make things clear, this is how we decide our all-area football team.
On offense, we pick a quarterback, two running backs, three wide receivers, five offensive linemen and an athlete.
On defense, we have spots for four defensive backs, three linebackers, four defensive linemen, an athlete and a kicker/punter.
It's the best players in the coverage area at each position.
We come up with a rough draft, talk it over with the head coach of each team and get their nominees and perspective, then discuss it in the sports department of the Sun Journal and make sure we have the best squad possible.
There are certain qualities we look for when choosing our player and coach of the year. The player of the year has to have a strong leadership quality, on and off the field. Of course stats are important, but they aren't the only thing we look for in a player of the year candidate.
The player has to have a drive to win.
For the coach of the year, the coach needs to set a good example to his players — and I believe all our coaches have that quality.
They must have a winning result, at the end of the season, and be dedicated to protecting his players on and off the field.
It's been an exhilarating football season, and an all-around sports year in 2012.
Also, keep your eye out for our annual top 10 sports stories of the year, along with the Sun Journal's Athlete of the Year.

Since 1978, Diamondback has been at the forefront of innovative bicycle design. Diamondback produces bicycles suitable for every rider type. Whether you are an avid road cyclist looking for the newest, lightest frameset on the market, or crushing the downhill trails of Moab, or just looking to cruise the boardwalk, Diamondback has a bike to suit your needs. Diamondback believes that every bike they produce is a reflection of who they are. Therefore, each bike that rolls out of Diamondback's factory embodies their core values which are precision, durability, and integrity.
Made from lightweight DBR custom butted 7005 aluminum the Podium frame features state of the art tube shaping to concentrate material where it is really needed, and remove material were it isn't. The outcome of this process is a frame that optimizes performance and compliance. The wheelbase has also been increased in order to provide a more stable ride. The Podium frame uses Diamondback's Enhanced Performance Geometry that features a slightly higher headtube height in order to lessen strain on the rider's back and neck. The 2013 Podium 2 is outfitted with more budget conscious components to create a deal that's hard to pass up. We've paired the Podium 2 with a blend of Shimano Tiagra components including dual control shifters/brake levers, 10spd cassette, and front and rear derailleurs. Stopping power comes courtesy of Tektro R325 dual pivot brakes and FSA gets a nod for the CN910 10spd chain and the Vero Compact crankset which sports a 50t and a 34t chainring. Equation SE wheels offer a quick and lightweight riding experience and are laced to alloy hubs. Steering is precise and comfortable due to the DBR drop bar and forged stem while you'll pedal with ease while sitting on the Performance road saddle and post.

Comparing Plumbing Pipe Materials
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is the most widely used pipe material, followed by iron, copper, and ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene), another common type of plastic used in drainage pipes. New polyethylene and polypropylene products are more eco-friendly but less widely available. How do they all compare in materials, energy inputs and lifespan?
Iron and copper: Metal pipes often have high levels of recycled content, and are easily recycled. However, even recycled metal pipes are energy-intensive. Melting and forming copper and iron products at extreme temperatures consumes more energy than the production process for plastic pipes.
Metal pipes are stronger and more crack-resistant, but they also corrode faster, adding potentially dangerous residues to water. Werea KIMAB, a European corrosion and metals research institute, estimates iron drainpipes have a 50-year lifespan. However, epoxy pipe linings add up to 50 years of life to metal pipes while also improving the water quality by adding a barrier between the water and corroding metal.
PVC: Hard plastics are largely made with raw petroleum-based chemicals, and discarded pipes mostly end up in landfills. Some PVC products can be recycled, but recycling is expensive and the market demand is low because virgin PVC is cheap. However, environmental costs may be high. Greenpeace and other environmental groups oppose all use of PVC, which they say emits possibly harmful chemicals throughout production, use, and disposal. The Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association estimates PVC pipes will last 100 years under normal conditions if properly installed.
Other plastics: Polyethylene and polypropylene are generally less toxic. Aquatherm, a German company, makes polypropylene pipes that are listed as GreenPeace International's only "future-friendly" plumbing product. These alternative plastics are more easily recycled, even though most available products do not have recycled content -- and they need to be replaced faster than PVC or lined iron. Aquatherm claims a 50-year lifespan for its pipes.

Yoda joins Darth Vader and C-3PO and is the latest official Star Wars voice to launch exclusively for TomTom devices. Han Solo will complete the line-up of fan favorites in August.
A powerful Jedi warrior Yoda may be. But his quirky diction and mischievous personality also make him one of the most charming characters in the Star Wars universe – and one who adds a whole galaxy of fun to TomTom GPS voice commands. Incorporating dialogue inspired by the original Star Wars films, Yoda's navigation instructions include "After 700 hundred yards hmm, keep to the right then take a sharp left. Control, control, if a Jedi you wish to be."
The Yoda voice also comes with ghostly encouragement from Obi-Wan Ben Kenobi, which is taken from the original films and embedded into the navigation commentary. John Williams' 'Yoda's Theme' music is also interwoven with certain commands, providing a rich, cinematic experience rarely heard on navigation systems.
"We're thrilled by the reception that the Star Wars voices have received thus far and now we're excited to add Yoda to our line up as it is one of the most frequently requested voices by the TomTom community," said Tom Murray, senior vice president market development at TomTom, Inc.
"The TomTom brand is synonymous with high quality navigation. Star Wars fans are sure to be delighted when they hear just how great these voices sound on their TomTom navigation devices," says Casey Collins, sr. director of international licensing and marketing at Lucas Licensing.
In addition to Yoda's voice, TomTom has launched a range of official Yoda wallpapers and alert sounds voiced by the Jedi Master. TomTom customers can download these items for free to ensure their TomTom device is enlisted in the service of the Jedi.
All official Star Wars voices for TomTom devices are available in English, while Yoda and Darth Vader are also now available in German. Further languages will be available throughout the summer.
Yoda's voice is available for download now for $12.95.

Groovy 1.6 offers offers several approaches to transforming the AST of code within the compiler. You can write a custom AST visitor, you can use annotations and a local AST transformation, or you can use a global AST transformation.
This page explains how to write and debug a global AST transformation.
Sticking with the naive and simple example from the local transformation page, consider wanting to provide console output at the start and stop of method calls within your code. The following "Hello World" example would actually print "Hello World" along with a start and stop message:
Not a great use case, but it is useful to explain the mechanics of global transformations.
A global transformation requires four steps: 1) write an ASTTransformation subclass, 2) create a Jar metadata file containing the name of your ASTTransformation, 3) create a Jar containing the class and metadata, and 4) invoke groovyc with that Jar on your classpath.
Writing an ASTTransformation
This is almost exactly the same step you'll need if writing a local transformation. You must define an ASTTransformation subclass that reads, and possibly rewrites, the syntax tree of the compiling code. Here is the transformation that will add a console start message and end message to all method invocations:
The first line (@GroovyASTTransformation) line tells the Groovy compiler that this is an AST transformation that should occur in the conversion CompilePhase. Unlike local transformations, global transformations can occur in any phase.
The publicvisit(ASTNode[], SourceUnit) method is invoked for each source unit compiled. In this example, I'm just pulling out all the methods defined in the source. A method to the compiler is simply a list of Statement objects, so I'm adding a statement zero logging the start message and appending a statement to the end of the list with the end message.
Notice the complexity in creating a simple println Statement in the createPrintlnAst method. A method call has a target(this), a name(println), and an argument list(the message). An easy way to create AST is to write the Groovy code you expect to create, then observe what AST the compiler generates within the IDE's debugger. This requires a test harness with a custom GroovyClassLoader and an AST Visitor.
Writing Jar Metadata
The Groovy compiler discovers your ASTTransformation through a file named "org.codehaus.groovy.transform.ASTTransformation". This file must contain the fully qualified package and name of your transformation. In my example, the file simply has one line:
Creating the Jar
The ASTtransformation and the metadata must be packaged into a single Jar file. The org.codehaus.groovy.transform.ASTTransformation file must be in the META-INF/services directory. The Jar layout for this example follows:
Compiling the Example
The new Jar must be put on the groovyc classpath for the transformation to be invoked. If the sample script at the top of the post is in a file named "LoggingExample.groovy", then the command line to compile this is:
This generates a LoggingExample.class that, when run with Java, produces:
Debugging Global Transformations
Local transformations are simple to debug: the IDE (at least IDEA) supports it with no extra effort. Global transformations are not so easy. To test this you might write a test harness that invoked LoggingASTTransformation on a file explicitly. The test harness source is available and could easily be modified to fit your needs. Let me know if you know an easier way to debug this!
Applying your transformation on custom file extensions
Since Groovy 1.7.5, you are allowed to add your own file types to the groovy compiler. This can be especially useful when you have written a DSL which requires extensive AST transformations and that you want to avoid your transformation to be applied on regular groovy files. For example, imagine your DSL specifies user stories :
Then you could allow this syntax in .story files only. To do this, you must first have registered your global AST transformation into the 'META-INF/services/org.codehaus.groovy.transform.ASTTransformation' file like explained before. The second step is to register your custom file extension into the 'META-INF/services/org.codehaus.groovy.source.Extensions' file :
The last step is to update your AST transformation so that it checks the file extension :
Now you have a global AST transformation that will only apply on .story files.

Harman Kardon AVR 146 - No video signal with HDMI
by nader0903 - 2/5/08 11:06 AM
Hi. I just purchased a Harman Kardon AVR 146 home theater receiver. I couldn't get the video signal through the HDMI to display on my tv (cable box and dvd are connected to HDMI inputs 1 and 2, HDMI out is connected to the tv). I returned it and got a replacement, same model, but still, nothing. I get the sound from the optical cables, but no picture. Am I missing something? There is nothing in the manual about displaying video through HDMI, and the on screen menu doesn't do much other than setting certain audio inputs to pair with certain video inputs. I've tried turning components on in different orders, processor resets, master resets, everything.
I'd rather not go through the hassel of returning it, but right now I'm very disappointed with my purchase (as of now I don't think I've done anything wrong). They're tech support isn't much help either.
Can anyone help???

Over-the-Counter Medicine Precautions
Over-the-Counter Medicine Precautions
Know the benefits and side effects of a medicine before taking it. Use medicines only if nondrug approaches are not working.
Follow these over-the-counter medicine precautions.
- Carefully read and follow all directions on the medicine bottle and box . Or let your doctor know why you think you should take the medicine in a different way.
- Take the minimum effective dose. When using a liquid drug, use the measuring device that comes with the drug.
- Call your doctor if you think you are having a problem with your medicine. If you have been told to avoid a medicine, call your doctor before you take it.
- Do not take a medicine if you have had an allergic reaction to it in the past.
- If you are or could be pregnant, call your doctor before taking any medicine.
- Keep a list of all your medicines (What is a PDF document?), including over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements. And share the list with your doctor.
Here are some safety tips about giving children medicines:
- Do not give aspirin to anyone younger than 20 unless your doctor tells you to, because of the risk of Reye syndrome .
- Talk to your doctor before you give fever medicine to a baby who is 3 months of age or younger. This is to make sure a young baby's fever is not a sign of a serious illness. Ask your doctor what other medicines may not be safe to give your child.
- Don't take medicines in front of small children. Children are great mimics. Don't say that medicine tastes like candy.
- Keep medicines, vitamins, and supplements tightly capped in their original containers. Store them as directed and keep them out of the reach of children.

JON CARDINELLI says that while this Springbok side shouldn't be expected to attack like the All Blacks they shouldn't be excused for performances devoid of innovation, precision and potency either.
A colleague of mine asked a question in the build-up to the Murrayfield Test, a question that summed up a prevailing expectation: 'How much will this Bok side need to win by in Edinburgh to get a pass mark?'
The All Blacks had set the bar high with a 51-22 thrashing of Scotland, an astounding attacking display that served to highlight the New Zealanders' global superiority in breakdown play, vision and execution. It seemed my colleague, and I suspect many South African supporters, would not be content unless the Boks savaged Scotland in a similar manner.
Personally, I had tempered my expectations. I argued that the All Blacks were a world champion side, that they had the players in the forwards to dominate the point of contact as well as ensure a quick ruck recycle, and that their backs had the vision, skill and precision to complement that high-tempo approach.
I believed that this Bok side could not compare, as the absence of nine first-choice players (read Beast Mtawarira, Bismarck du Plessis, Andries Bekker, Schalk Burger, Juan Smith, Fourie du Preez, Johan Goosen, Frans Steyn and Bryan Habana) would limit their collective potency.
And yet, I still expected this present Bok side to convert the majority of their attacking opportunities in a clinical if not spectacular manner. Indeed, if you total the number of times they crossed the gainline on Saturday, and the number of times they worked their way into the opposition 22, the end result should have been far more than just 21 points and two tries, one of which was an intercept.
The Boks scored their first try through a powerful and clinical forward drive. It was a fine way to start the game, and seemed to signify that the Boks were in the mood to execute. Unfortunately, it was the only example of potency.
There are numerous examples of individual players bashing their way beyond the gainline, or in a few cases, using their feet to beat one or two defenders. Unforgivably, the Boks failed to maintain this attacking pressure beyond a few phases.
The forwards did well in several facets last Saturday, most notably on defence, but their ball retention at the rucks left a lot to be desired.
The Bok backline hasn't enjoyed much of an opportunity to settle this season, but they should still be operating at a higher standard. That lack of synergy was patent last Saturday, with players performing as individuals rather than as combinations. Worryingly, these players also showed a lack of patience and decisiveness on attack.
The Boks would earn the opportunity to attack from deep within the opponents' half, but it seemed that once they had played themselves into these positions, they didn't have a clue of what to do next.
I still don't believe that you can compare this Bok side to the All Blacks team that is currently touring Europe. Having said that, the Boks' recent attacking performances shouldn't be accepted as standard, not by the Bok coach, players or fans.
The Boks are not the All Blacks, but as another colleague keeps reminding me, they are not Romania either.
The level of execution is unacceptably poor at present. While I maintain that the next Test against England will determine the success of this tour, I cannot discount the underwhelming attacking performances against Ireland and Scotland, and what they may portend for the finale at Twickenham.
England are a far tougher defensive unit than their Celtic counterparts, and won't offer South Africa as many attacking opportunities. What this means is that the Boks will need to be far more clinical than they have been in the past fortnight.
They won't get seven or eight chances to score tries, and won't be afforded as many shots at goal either. They need to make the most of each venture into opposition territory.
That needs to be the message from the coach, the support staff, and the senior players. The focus and attitude needs to change this week. I'm not advocating a radical change in strategy, I'm simply suggesting that Heyneke Meyer and company demand a higher level of execution. And in demanding a better attitude, Meyer should also look to himself for an improvement.
Adriaan Strauss has enjoyed a strong tour, but Meyer's failure to deploy reserve hooker Schalk Brits has been unfathomable.
Brits has no defensive deficiencies, and has proved himself to be a strong set-piece exponent over the past three European seasons. Significantly, he has the potential to lift the tempo in the second stanza, to add some spark to the attack.
The Bok starting line-up needs to deliver a more clinical showing at Twickenham, and Meyer needs to back his bench to build on that performance in the second half.
It is also time for Meyer to back Elton Jantjies as a matchday squad member. Morné Steyn is not an impact player, and if he is not good enough to be in the staring line-up he is not good enough to be in the squad.

Mercyhurst lent a semblance of sanity to the Atlantic Hockey standings last weekend and, with a tie and a win over Niagara, locked up its first regular season league championship.
A few other results around the league helped the Lakers and made for some surprises and, more than that, served notice that it's likely to be a wild Atlantic Hockey tournament ahead.
The Mercyhurst title-clinching perhaps illustrates the point best.
The only way the Lakers were going to nail down the title on Saturday was if they won or tied against Niagara and Air Force, Bentley and Robert Morris all lost their games.
All three, it should be noted, were playing against teams that were at least seven points below them in the standings and two of them were playing at home.
Mercyhurst took care of its business with a 4-2 win at Niagara.
And Air Force, Bentley and Robert Morris all lost. RIT won at Air Force, 3-2, Sacred Heart won at Bentley, 5-2, and Canisius, playing at home, beat Robert Morris, 6-3.
They weren't the only upsets of the weekend. Sacred Heart also beat Bentley on Friday night, 5-4, and Army, which had not won a league game since early December, won at UConn, 4-3, also on Friday night.
"I thought for sure it was going to come down to Saturday night (the last night of the regular season) at 10 and we were going to figure out where we ended up and where everyone else ended up," said Mercyhurst coach Rick Gotkin. "But we got a tie and a win and got a lot of help and that took care of that part of it."
So Mercyhurst has its title, which brings us to the final weekend of the regular season.
First-round byes and home ice for the Atlantic Hockey quarterfinals are still on the line for four teams.
Mercyhurst is guaranteed one of the byes.
Behind the Lakers, Bentley, Air Force, UConn and Robert Morris are battling it out for the other three byes. Bentley has 32 points going into the weekend, Air Force and UConn have 31 each and Robert Morris has 30.
Bentley plays a home-and-home series with AIC, UConn does the same with Sacred Heart and Robert Morris with Mercyhurst. Air Force is at Niagara.
The team out of Bentley, Air Force, UConn and Robert Morris that misses out on a bye will host a first-round, best-of-three series next weekend along with Canisius and Niagara.
Holy Cross sits in eighth place in the standings going into the weekend and is in good position to grab the fourth and final home ice berth for the first round. The Crusaders are three points up on Scared Heart and need one point out of their two-game set with Army to lock up a home series.
Player of the Week
Drew George, jr. F, Sacred Heart
George led the Pioneers to a sweep of second-place Bentley with five points. George had two goals and an assist in Friday's 5-4 win and followed up with two assists in a 5-2 decision on Saturday. He has four goals and five assists in his last four games.
Games of the Week
UConn at Sacred Heart Friday and Saturday
UConn goes into the weekend tied for third place in the standings and is trying to hold onto a top four spot. Sacred Heart is in ninth place and still has an outside shot of catching Holy Cross for eighth with a big weekend. The teams split a pair of games at Storrs earlier in the season, UConn winning 4-2 and Sacred Heart 3-0.
1. Mercyhurst (18-12-6, 16-4-5) . . . Junior Jimmy Sarjeant made 38 saves in a 4-2 win at Niagara on Saturday and is 14-0-4 in Atlantic Hockey games. Leading scorer Matthew Zay missed the weekend with a lower body injury. He's due back for the playoffs.
2. Bentley (16-12-4, 14-7-4) . . . Sophomore Andrew Gladiuk scored a pair of power play goals, giving him a nation's-best 16 man-advantage goals for the year, but the Falcons dropped a pair of games to Sacred Heart.
3. UConn (17-11-4, 14-8-3) . . . Freshman goalie Robby Nichols made 27 saves to lead UConn to a 3-1 win at Army on Saturday that avenged a 4-3 loss on Friday in Storrs. Nichols has a 1.69 goals against average, .946 save percentage and record of 7-1-2.
4. Air Force (19-11-4, 14-8-3) . . . The Falcons scored a pair of power play goals in a 4-3 win over RIT on Friday. Scott Holm had the game-winning goal, his team-leading fourth of the season. The Falcons close out at Niagara.
5. Robert Morris (13-15-4, 13-8-4) . . . Jeff Jones scored the game-winner and Terry Shafer made 35 saves in a 4-1 win over Canisius on Friday. The Colonials play at Mercyhurst on Friday and have the Lakers at home on Saturday.

Written by John Clifford on 01/19/2009
The first afternoon of practices presented the choice of attending the North squad's at Ladd-Peebles or the South's at Fairhope Stadium about 8 miles away at the exact same time. Besides being closer, I opted for the North because it's a larger collection of less familiar names to most people.
But before perhaps the most interesting tidbits of Monday came before leaving the hotel – first, seeing Todd McShay, hopefully I'll catch him later in the week and second, the entire Patriots scouting staff and before they split up to cover both practices, standing and sitting around me, discussing a number of topics:
They have a strong interest in "2 kids from Cincinnati" and have interviews set up. One scout to another confirming that information, referencing the same needing to be done about "the West Virginia kid" and asking, "What was that theft about;" further commenting that he'd discuss that particular issue, once the "Xs and Os" were done.
Two different scouts debated the strength and weight training of Connecticut, one scout making the case that we'd see it show up in a negative way on the field. A senior- member of the staff commented on Larry English of Northern Illinois as having a "great pass rush," but he's "not sold on OLB." He referenced another person's comments – "he's just 6' 2" and a great pass rusher" and made further comparisons to LaMarr Woodley's game and physical strength and body type.
Lastly, one scout questioned Ron Brace as a prospect over B.J. Raji at the next level – the answer emphatically and with unanimity was Raji.
On to Ladd-Peebles for the North Practice…
After the warm-ups, the offense ran a few quick reps with a complete 11-man rotation. Virginia RB Cedric Peerman was the first player to see meaningful touches and make a visual impact, and his burst of speed accomplished both.When positional units broke out, Peerman's footwork and speed held up, but that might be more a function of the less than elite group. Most of the North backs carry power, if now size, component to their running, Purdue's Kory Sheets showed his speed and footwork is not hampered by that the way it seems to have with the other prospects.
The RBs and TEs ran passing routes against LBs and DBs and the immediate standout was Oklahoma State's Brandon Pettigrew. He presents himself to a QB as an enormous target, pulling in a high throw rendering the defender useless on the first play of the drill. Kory Sheets' speed beat a slow-looking Scott McKillop (Pitt/LB), and in carbon copy form Peerman did the same to Ohio State LB Marcus Freeman – both showing good receiving skills and burst after the catch, and speed to get to the outside. Pettigrew made one of the more impressive moves to this point of the practice getting off the line against South Florida LB Mike McKenzie, making him look like a rag doll, making sure another ball coming his way didn't hit the turf. Sheets, once again against McKillop, took him to the outside and used his speed to beat him to the corner – and on this play McKillop looked more than slow, but uncomfortable in coverage.
With WRs and CBs in 1-on-1s, North Carolina's Brooks Foster was clearly frustrated by a drop up against Cincy DB DeAngelo Smith. UConn Darius Butler had a nice break up on a pass to Penn State WR Derrick Williams. A beautiful Rhett Bomar deep ball to Ohio State's Brian Robiskie might've touched all ten of his fingertips on the way to the turf…ugly. Foster redeemed himself against Smith on a nice cut route. Oregon State's Keenan Lewis gave up a completion on an out route, must've been 7 yards off, maybe even 10. Oklahoma WR Juaquin Inglesias had a ball bounce off his hands on a curl route. After not connecting deep on his prior rep, Robiskie beat Mickens on a curl to the sideline with a well-timed and nicely thrown ball from Central Arkansas QB Nathan Brown.
Just as I thought that all 3 QBs have looked solid to this point, Texas Tech QB Graham Harrell hits Brooks Foster deep beautifully, followed up by Bomar deep to Washington State's Brandon Gibson (possibly injured himself on the play).
Derrick Williams wrapped up the drill with a spectacular catch having to comeback for a ball and getting it at its highest point, in addition to having Darius Butler interfere on the play and land on top of him and still hold on. Meanwhile, Butler on a number of plays, this being the latest, has shown a problem with body control.
QBs running 5-wide has Harrell on a quick and sharp throw hits Robiskie out of the slot – like Manning to Gonzalez (and how many scouts just saw and wondered about what a great draft pick that was for the Colts?). Nathan Brown with a quick release to Pettigrew – this is my day one practice radar find – Brown did nothing but help himself and Pettigrew appears to be an unstoppable beast. Harrell hit Robiskie lined up wide from the opposite hash (a Matt Ryan NFL throw). Brown finds his favorite target Pettigrew – again – with the same consistent throw from release to spiral.
The North squad moved to 11-on-11 and right away a couple of players that have already jumped out in ways to help their case, do it again – Nathan Brown, looking comfortable in the pocket, quickly checks down, dumps it to Kory Sheets, shows good hands and speed to space. Should he continue to demonstrate his versatility in the passing game this week, he could immediately contribute the way of a Leon Washington at the next level, as part of a rotation within the offense, perhaps just not between the tackles that often.
Oklahoma's Inglesias doesn't help himself by putting the ball on the ground without being hit after the catch. Sheets heading to the sideline with the QB on a rollout, makes the corner and flies down the sideline – his speed is standout. Brooks Foster's play over the deep middle has been solid, if not impressive, making his own earlier demonstration of frustration over a dropped ball more understandable – no other receiver has shown the inclination to make plays in that traffic, much less the ability, this afternoon.
Sheets' attempt to go between the tackles completely stuffed. I immediately think back to my memories in Mobile of the contrast between J.J. Arrington and Darren Sproles hitting the hole and running in traffic and contact. We'll see what Sheets can do this week.

Alert: The following services will be unavailable on Saturday, January 5, 2013 from 12 a.m. (midnight) to 6 a.m. CST due to system maintenance.
Speeding and other driver behaviors
Speeding in Wisconsin is...
- Speed-related crashes killed 168 people and injured nearly 8,000 in 2010.
- Deaths from speed-related crashes were approximately 30 percent of all Wisconsin traffic fatalities in 2010.
- Speeding is by far the most common traffic conviction in Wisconsin.
- There were more than 200,000 speeding convictions in 2010.
- There also were another 6,532 convictions for driving too fast for conditions or imprudent speed in 2010.
- Speeding tickets generally cost from about $200 to more than $800 depending on the violation.
- Demerit points also are assessed and your license may be suspended.
- In addition, insurance premiums often increase because of speeding tickets.
Entirely preventable
- Reducing your speed greatly improves your ability to maintain control of your vehicle, which prevents rollover crashes.
- Slowing down also gives you more time and distance to avoid a collision.
- If you cannot avoid a collision, vehicle speed at impact determines the violence of the crash. The higher your speed, the lower your chances of survival.
- Speed limits are set for when roads are clear and dry, not when they're snow or ice-covered. It is illegal to drive at speeds that exceed what is "reasonable and prudent" under existing road and traffic conditions.
Other dangerous driving behaviors
The following driving behaviors frequently contributed to the more than 100,000 fatal, injury and property damage crashes in Wisconsin in 2010.
- Aggressive driving
- Tailgating
- Weaving through heavy traffic
- Distracted and inattentive driving
- Drowsy driving
- Red light running
- Failure to yield right of way
More information about speed-related and other crashes, including county totals, is available in the latest Wisconsin traffic crash facts.

7500 dead in Syria as Assad offered asylum in Tunisia
Syrian government troops fired artillery on residential areas in the provinces of Homs and Hama, according to activists. There are reports that an attempt by the Syrian army to enter the Bab Amro district in the rebel city of Homs was repelled by deserters.
Nationally, the government soldiers have reportedly killed at least 45 people. The revolt against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad killed more than 7,500 civilians, , according to a new estimate by the United Nations clearly.
"There are credible reports that every day more than 100 civilians are being killed," the U.N. Under-Secretary General Lynn Pascoe on Tuesday told the Security Council in New York. Among the victims were many women and children.
Meanwhile, the Tunisian President Mouncef Marzouki offered the Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad a political asylum. Tunisia was willing to host Assad and his family, the Tunisian leader told the local newspaper of "La Presse". On Friday, Tunisia hosted a conference called the "Friends of Syria" in his speech there, Marzouki offered Assad to step down in exchange for legal immunity.
Top Headlines
- Here are the details you won't hear about Syria's broken health system, and the doctor trying to save it
- Muslims but not brothers: Chilly relations between Cairo and Riyadh
- The 'death trip': an inside look into the perilious business of getting Syrian refugees to Europe
- With the ISIS conflict, Iraq has gone back to the dark ages
I have very mixed emotions reading this article. First is much sadness for the further loss of lives at the hands of Assad. Is this a final showdown on his way out? As far as I'm concerned, he couldn't leave soon enough. What I feel though is anger that legal immunity would mean he couldn't be held accountable for the war crimes he committed against the citizens of Syria nor the priceless damage done to buildings of antiquity and homes that while they can be rebuilt, the historical value on the buildings and churches can never be regained. Lastly, I'm surprised that there would be any country at this point in time that would even want to give Assad political asylum? Mr. Assad, you can run, but you can't hide forever. The stench of your sins is smelled the world over. You will always have a price on your head if not in this life, then when judgment day comes, and believe me, it comes to each of us. For what you sow in this world you also reap.

USDA's online complaint form to aid food safety probes
Monday - 10/15/2012, 10:56am EDT
The Department of Agriculture's new online consumer complaint form could help the agency trace the root of a food safety problem.
"The consumers, in this instance, can help us by identifying problems that may signify something more significant that needs to be investigated," said David Goldman, assistant administrator for USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, in an interview with The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp.
The Electronic Consumer Complaint Form, launched Sept. 27, defines a complaint as "an incident that involves reports of illness, injury, foreign objects, contamination (including chemical contamination), allergic reactions, and improper labeling which is believed to be associated with or caused by consumption of meat, poultry or processed egg products."
David Goldman, assistant administrator for USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service
The online form is an additional complaint collection method for USDA, to bolster the meat and poultry hotline, Goldman said. The consumer complaint monitoring system receives about 700 complaints per year.
Based on the responses from the first few weeks of launching the online form, USDA is receiving about twice as many electronic complaints compared with calls, he said.
Once a product is inspected in the plant, USDA doesn't have the "eyes and ears" on the product. With the consumer feedback, USDA can compare complaints with food inspectors' findings and try to determine if a problem started at the plant, in transit or at the point of sale, Goldman said.
Currently, the hotline is answered by the agency's food safety education staff, who then translate the complaint for the inspection service. The online form, meanwhile, is overseen directly by FSIS and allows consumers to "describe their problem in their own words," Goldman said.
Faster poultry inspection
A proposed rule by USDA to let chickens undergo faster inspections is still in the rule-making phase, Goldman said. USDA wants to change the maximum poultry processing rate from 140 birds to a maximum of 175 birds per minute.
The proposed rule touched off concerns that the speedier inspections would negatively impact food safety. Consumer and public health advocates, as well as unions, have urged USDA to withdraw the proposal.
Goldman said USDA has received public comments and will issue a final rule soon.

The Student Wellness Resource Center prides itself on having the greatest opportunity to meet students where they are and provide resources for the context in which we meet them. When it comes to alcohol and other drugs, we approach our work from a harm-reduction lens, providing education, resources, referrals and experiences that allow each individual to make the best choice for them in regard to use. We do challenge and support the students in knowing Washington State law and Gonzaga University policies regarding alcohol and drug use and the consequences associated. Below are programs interventions and campus wide strategies to address this important issue on our campus.
CHOICES: A Brief Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program
The mission of the CHOICES program is to educate college students about the effects of alcohol on their behavior, to promote self-evaluation of drinking patterns and to facilitate the acquisition of effective coping strategies so that students can make informed decisions and reduce their alcohol-related risk and harm. While it is important to acknowledge that any underage alcohol use is illegal, it is equally important to provide young people with accurate information and strategies for reducing their risk if they choose to drink alcohol. Research suggests that harm reduction approach to prevent college alcohol abuse can reduce both drinking rates and alcohol-related harmful consequences. The CHOICES curriculum is built upon over 20 years of research funded by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).
CHOICES is a brief alcohol abuse prevention and harm reduction program for college students to help them make informed choices about alcohol consumption. This unique program provides specific strategies and information to give students the opportunity to reflect on facts, risks and norms associated with alcohol. Presented in a 90 minute workshop, a facilitator guides the group through journal workbook that challenges each individual to discover for themselves that their "expectancies" may not match their actual experiences with drinking and that the consequences of excessive alcohol use may be incompatible with many of their academic and social goals, as well as future desires.
This prevention program is facilitated for all new undergraduate students coming to Gonzaga University (freshman, transfer and international students) in the first four weeks of the fall term.
BASICS: Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students
BASICS is an evidence-based intervention approach specifically designed for college students to prevent/reduce high-risk drinking and negative consequences. Students often conform to patterns of heavy drinking they see as acceptable, while holding false beliefs about alcohol's effects or actual alcohol-use norms. BASICS is designed to help students make better decisions about using alcohol. The program's style is empathic, rather than confrontational or judgmental. It aims to 1) reduce alcohol consumption and its adverse consequences, 2) promote healthier choices among young adults, and 3) provide important information and coping skills for reducing risk. Developed at University of Washington , Addictive Behaviors Research Center, BASICS is a recognized model program through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, National Registry of Evidence-based Program and Practices, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Students will engage in self-reflective process where they will independently choose to change high-risk alcohol use behaviors using information provided about alcohol, associated risks with excessive drinking and alternative coping strategies.
At Gonzaga University, BASICS is facilitated in two group sessions (6-8 participants). Typically students who are sanctioned for an alcohol violation are required to attend these sessions, which are facilitated throughout the academic year.
IMPACT: Discovering the impact use is having on an individual, their community & their future.
Students will engage in one-on-one conversation with a SWRC professional (1-3 sessions) in regard to the impact alcohol is having on their life, the impact that is having on their community, and the impact alcohol is having/ can have on their future. Through a motivational interviewing conversation and additional self-reflection, participants will assess their high-risk alcohol use behaviors, associated risks with excessive drinking and alternative coping strategies.
Good Neighbor Workshop:
The Good Neighbor Program at Gonzaga University is a workshop to address off-campus conduct behavior and improve neighborhood relations. The program educates Gonzaga students on the importance of being good neighbors in the Logan Neighborhood as well as providing some tools to help them do so. The workshop helps students see how their behavior impacts long-term residents and the community through reflection of key stakeholders. The workshop also provides students the opportunity to review Gonzaga policies, codes and expectations, as well as Washington State law and codes. Lastly, the workshop allows the students to reflect and develop a "party smart" plan for future gatherings to be legal, responsible and have minimal impact on the community.

State Sponsors of Terrorism, the "Axis of Evil," and "Outposts of Tyranny"
The U.S. Secretary of State gives this designation to countries it has determined have been involved in repeated acts of international terrorism. These countries have strict sanctions imposed on them by the United States. Five are on the current list: Cuba (since 1982), Iran (since 1984), North Korea (since 1988), Sudan (since 1993), and Syria (since 1979). Over the years, three countries have been removed: Libya (1979–2006); Iraq (1979–1982; 1990–2003), and South Yemen (1979–1990).
"Axis of Evil"
"Axis of Evil" was used by George W. Bush in his Jan. 2002 State of the Union Address to describe three countries engaged in terrorism: Iran, Iraq, and North Korea:
Outposts of Tyranny
In Jan. 2005, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice identified six countries as "outposts of tyranny:" Zimbabwe, Iran, Belarus, Myanmar, Cuba, and North Korea.

Insights students show off Chinese lanterns at UM
Oxford Elementary Insights classes recently visited the University Museum and toured the exhibit, "On the Silk Road and the High Seas: Chinese Ceramics, Culture and Commerce," and then made Chinese lanterns that were put on display at the museum. On Tuesday, a reception was held for the students to show off their artwork. (May 11, 2012, Page 1B)
