Key Stat: The Lobos were last in the nation in scoring offense averaging 12 points per game.
Good luck, Bob Davie. New Mexico had the worst season in college football for the second year in a row with just one win - UNLV - and few competitive games. The team went a midseason stretch of four games scoring just 14 points.
119. Tulane (2-11) 2011 CFN Score: -4.73

2008 Final Season Ranking: 112
2008 Final Score: -1.22
Key Stat: The Green Wave was 115th in the nation in scoring defense allowing 37.46 points per game.
After a relatively decent 2010 with several competitive battles, the Green Wave fell off the map losing the final ten games thanks to a defense that couldn't stop anyone. Besides the early win over UAB, the highlight of the season was a close call loss to Syracuse; Tulane lost each of the final eight games by double-digits.
118. Akron (1-11) 2011 CFN Score: -4.59

2008 Final Season Ranking: 88
2008 Final Score: 4.52
Key Stat: The Zips were 119th in the nation in scoring for the second year in a row..
The Rob Ianello tenure was a total disaster in just two seasons with a 1-11 2011. The lone win came against VMI and there were only two of the 11 losses against FBS teams by fewer than ten points. The Zips were last in the nation in tackles for loss and 119th in passing efficiency.
117. Florida Atlantic (1-11) 2011 CFN Score: -4.03

2009 Final Score. 4.66
2008 Final Season Ranking: 68
2008 Final Score: 6.82
Key Stat: FAU was dead last in the nation in offense, averaging 249 yards per game, and was 119th in scoring averaging 12.92 points per game.
The last year of the Howard Schnellenberger era was no way to close. The new stadium wasn't enough to lead to any production with just one win over UAB late in the year and blowout loss after blowout loss. The Owls were last in the nation in passing efficiency and was blown out by an average of 35 to 13.
116. UNLV (2-11) 2011 CFN Score: -2.86
2011 Preseason Ranking: 114
2010 Final Season Ranking: 113
2010 CFN Score: -1.37

2009 Final Season Ranking: 88
2009 Final Score.4.26
2008 Final Season Ranking: 93
2008 Final Score:3.83
Key Stat: The Rebels were 118th in the nation in passing and 118th in scoring defense.
Bobby Hauck's second year was as weird as they come for a horrible team. The Rebel defense was one of the worst in America, getting blown out time after time, but it came up big in a win over Hawaii. UNLV followed that up with a 41-16 loss to Southern Utah. Just when it seemed like things might be turning with a win over Colorado State, the Rebels lost to the worst team in America, New Mexico.
115. Memphis (2-10) 2011 CFN Score: -2.59
2011 Preseason Ranking: 118
2010 Final Season Ranking: 115

2009 Final Score.2-10
2008 Final Season Ranking: 78
2008 Final Score: 5.71
Key Stat: MU was dead last in America in pass defense..
Larry Porter never had a chance with an empty cupboard when he took over in 2010, but there wasn't any improvement in 2011 with the nation's worst pass defense getting torched game after game. However, the team was competitive in late losses to UAB and Marshall before getting obliterated by Southern Miss to close out the season and Porter's tenure.
114. Indiana (1-11) 2011 CFN Score: -1.08
2011 Preseason Ranking: 71
2010 Final Season Ranking: 88

2009 Final Score. 2.61
2008 Final Season Ranking: 105
2008 Final Score: 2.48
Key Stat: IU was 1118th in the nation against the run.
The Hoosiers were this close to getting to a bowl game in 2010, and then came the rebuilding job. New head coach Kevin Wilson went to a youth movement and the results were disastrous with no wins over FBS teams and the lone victory coming over South Carolina State. The defense was obliterated time and again, but it held up surprisingly well against Virginia, Penn State and Purdue.
113. Middle Tennessee (2-10) 2011 CFN Score: -0.82
2011 Preseason Ranking: 97
2010 Final Season Ranking: 96
2010 CFN Score: 2.50

2009 Final Season Ranking: 41
2009 Final Score. 11.60
2008 Final Season Ranking: 70
2008 Final Score: 6.67
Key Stat: The Blue Raiders were 114th in the nation in run defense.
MTSU beat two of the worst teams in the country – Memphis and Florida Atlantic – and suffered a bad loss to Troy. The defense was a disaster and the offense couldn't put points on the board despite being able to move the ball well. The six game losing streak to close out the year was made worse by a 59-7 loss to North Texas in the finale.
112. UAB (3-9) 2011 CFN Score: -0.24
2011 Preseason Ranking: 101
2010 Final Season Ranking: 83
2010 CFN Score: 5.45

2009 Final Score. 4.96
2008 Final Season Ranking: 100
2008 Final Score: 3.06
Key Stat: The Blazers were dead last in the nation in sacks.
UAB was able to come up with a stunning win over Southern Miss from out of nowhere, and then close out the season with a bad loss against one of college football's worst teams, Florida Atlantic. The Blazers also got walloped by a miserable Tulane team and managed to lose to Troy. The defense was the culprit thanks to a non-existent pass rush.
111. Idaho (2-10) 2011 CFN Score: 0.36
2011 Preseason Ranking: 92
2010 Final Season Ranking: 85
2010 CFN Score: 5.99
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 97
2009 Final Season Ranking: 56
2009 Final Score. 9.69
2008 Final Season Ranking: 118
2008 Final Score: -2.96
Key Stat: Idaho finished 116th in the nation in pass efficiency.
After a few nice seasons, the team fell off the map with just one win – at San Jose State – over an FBS team. There weren't any bad losses and the team was competitive with four losses by a touchdown or less and overtime defeats to Virginia and Utah State. However, the offense wasn't good enough all year to pick up the slack for a bad defense.
110. Maryland (2-10) 2011 CFN Score: 0.58
2011 Preseason Ranking: 50
2010 Final Season Ranking: 29
2010 CFN Score: 14.25
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 59
2009 Final Season Ranking: 109
2009 Final Score. 0.23
2008 Final Season Ranking: 36
2008 Final Score: 13.03
Key Stat: The Terps finished 108th in the nation in total defense.
Randy Edsall opened his tenure with a thrilling win over Miami on national television, and things seemed fine after a tough loss to West Virginia. And then the Terps fell off the map getting blown away by Temple on the way to an 0-10 run against FBS teams. The offense was bad, the defense worse, and it was a nightmare of nightmare seasons after finishing in the top 30 last year.
109. Kansas (2-10) 2011 CFN Score: 0.60
2011 Preseason Ranking: 68
2010 Final Season Ranking: 108
2010 CFN Score: -0.33
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 58
2009 Final Season Ranking: 74
2009 Final Score. 6.54
2008 Final Season Ranking: 39
2008 Final Score: 12.46
Key Stat: Kansas was last in the nation in total defense and scoring defense and 106th in total offense.
And there goes the Turner Gill era. After two years of doing nothing right, Kansas dumped Gill thanks to a ten game losing streak with the lone bright spot an overtime loss to Baylor. The win over Northern Illinois became more and more stunning as the season went on as the offense started out well and then fall off the map. Name the major statistical category and KU as probably at or near the bottom.
108. Ole Miss (2-10) 2011 CFN Score: 0.75
2011 Preseason Ranking: 37
2010 Final Season Ranking: 98
2010 CFN Score: 2.03
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 25
2009 Final Season Ranking: 25
2009 Final Score. 14.48
2008 Final Season Ranking: 15
2008 Final Score: 16.89
Key Stat: Ole Miss was 116th in the nation in offense and 112th against the run.
No one in the SEC outside of Arkansas had much of an offense, but Ole Miss took ineptitude to another level. Unlike the other SEC teams, the Rebels didn't have the D to back it up with no run defense and no pass rush whatsoever. There was only one win over an FBS team – Fresno State – while the seven game losing streak and the 0-8 SEC season meant the end of the Houston Nutt era.
107. Colorado State (3-9) 2011 CFN Score: 1.07
2011 Preseason Ranking: 98
2010 Final Season Ranking: 106
2010 CFN Score: 2.27

2009 Final Score. 2.27
2008 Final Season Ranking: 55
2008 Final Score: 9.13
Key Stat: The Rams wee 116th in the nation against the run.
After starting out the year 2-0 and then 3-1 – highlighted by a thrilling double overtime win over Utah State, the Rams couldn't come up with a close win losing the final eight games of the season and four by seven points or fewer meaning the end of the Steve Fairchild era. The bad losses to Colorado and UNLV took the season to a whole other bad level.
106. Duke (3-9) 2011 CFN Score: 1.46
2011 Preseason Ranking: 76
2010 Final Season Ranking: 100
2010 CFN Score: 1.78
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 75
2009 Final Season Ranking: 97
2009 Final Score.2.79
2008 Final Season Ranking: 79
2008 Final Score: 5.68
Key Stat: Duke was 108th in the nation in turnover margin.
The Blue Devils were supposed to be mediocre, but at least the offense was supposed to work under head coach David Cutcliffe. It didn't, finishing 93rd in scoring offense and struggled to move the ball. The one positive win came over FIU, and kicking off the ACC season with a win over Boston College was nice, but the team lost its final seven games and finished with five losses by a touchdown or less.
105. Miami University (4-8) 2011 CFN Score: 1.64
2011 Preseason Ranking: 84
2010 Final Season Ranking: 37
2010 CFN Score: 11.98
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 93
2009 Final Season Ranking: 114
2009 Final Score. -0.65
2008 Final Season Ranking: 117
2008 Final Score: -2.79
Key Stat: MU 119th in sacks allowed.
After coming up with one of the biggest turnarounds in college football history, MU went right back into the tank stating out 0-4 and failing to come up with the close MAC wins is got in 2010. After winning four of five, the chances were there to make it another strong year but the RedHawks lost to Temple, Western Michigan, and Ohio by a total of 13 points.
104. Troy (3-9) 2011 CFN Score: 1.65
2011 Preseason Ranking: 94
2010 Final Season Ranking: 56
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 100
2009 Final Season Ranking: 49
2009 Final Score. 10.95
2008 Final Season Ranking: 47
2008 Final Score: 10.86
Key Stat: The Trojans 113th in total defense and 114th in turnover margin.
The Troy defense has struggled over the last few years, but the defense was there to make up for it. Not in 2011. The Trojans couldn't stop turning the ball over in big loss after big loss; the lone win over the last eight games was over lowly Florida Atlantic. All three victories were bad wins and only two of the losses – FIU and North Texas – weren't blowouts.
103. New Mexico State (4-9) 2011 CFN Score: 1.97
2011 Preseason Ranking: 117
2010 Final Season Ranking: 114
2010 CFN Score: -1.69
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 117
2009 Final Season Ranking: 112
2009 Final Score. -0.39
2008 Final Season Ranking: 109
2008 Final Score: 0.82
Key Stat: The Aggies were 112th in the nation in total defense.
Are things changing under DeWayne Walker? It's been slow going, and losing six of the final seven games wasn't a plus, but the team started to show a few signs of life with a 3-3 start and an offense and passing game that started to produce a little bit. This might not be a high ranking, but it's moving up.
102. Oregon State (3-9) 2011 CFN Score: 2.17
2011 Preseason Ranking: 46
2010 Final Season Ranking: 67
2010 CFN Score: 7.63
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 21
2009 Final Season Ranking: 37
2009 Final Score. 12.46
2008 Final Season Ranking: 23
2008 Final Score: 15.41
Key Stat: Oregon State was 118th in the nation in rushing.
After having a shot to win the Pac 10 title a few times, the Beavers struggled in 2010 and fell off the map in 2011. The opening day home loss to Sacramento State set the tone for an awful year, but some rebuilding was done with the hopes for a stronger 2012. However, even with three Pac-12 wins OSU had the third-worst season of any BCS conference program.
101. Washington State (4-8) 2011 CFN Score: 2.35
2011 Preseason Ranking: 77
2010 Final Season Ranking: 105
2010 CFN Score: -1.10
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 89
2009 Final Season Ranking: 115
2009 Final Score.-1.10
2008 Final Season Ranking: 115
2008 Final Score: -2.15
Key Stat: Wazzu finished 111th in the nation in rushing and ninth in passing.
On the plus side, the bad year meant the hiring of Mike Leach. The 2011 Cougars were entertaining thanks to a strong passing game and a 3-1 start, but closing out going 1-7 made it yet another bad year. Wazzu was more competitive, but the defense couldn't stop anyone and three of the four wins came against the weak and the sad.

Saint Lazar the Great Martyr of Kosovo27. June 2008 - 12:51
Prince Lazar was born in 1329 in Prilepac to the aristocrat
family Hrebeljanović. His father Pribac was a Logotet-secretary doing very
confidential work for King Dušan the Powerful in the royal palace. Young Lazar
was raised in the palace, and was respected by the King who entrusted him with
the rule of two parts of his kingdom: Srem and Mačva. Lazar married Milica the daughter
of an important aristocrat named Vratko also known as Yug Bogdan - a very wise
and honorable man from the Nemanjic family. Lazar had three sons: Stevan, Vuk
and Lazar and five daughters: Jelena, Mara, Despa, Vukosava and Mileva.
King Dušan the Powerful died unexpectantly in 1355 at the age of 48. This led to a weakening of Serbia's central government. Many dukes used this opportunity to secede from the Kingdom with the land that had been entrusted to them. The young son of Dušan Uroš took over the throne and soon was killed. Vukašin Mrnjavčević proclaimed himself the King of Serbia. At this time, Turks were advancing toward the Kingdom of Serbia. In a battle on the river Marica in 1371, Vukašin was killed leaving behind him a weakened, poor and torn Serbia. Serbia was in desperate need of a gifted statesman, rich in virtue and deserving of God's Grace: a man similar to St. Sava and his father St. Stefan Nemanja who had founded the Serbian state. The Church recognized just such a man in Prince Lazar. His talent for leadership, wisdom and experience lifted him above those who would seize the throne by force and sought their own glory and importance.

A recluse and backbencher Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday donned a new avatar, leading opposition members in the well of Lok Sabha, demanding an urgent discussion on communal situation and revival of Communal Violence Bill, that lapsed with the dissolution of 13th Lok Sabha. But, little realizing that previsions UPA government sat on the CV Bill for more than 9 years, which was drafted in 2005 in the wake of 2002 Gujarat riots and ultimately gave up its introduction in February 2014 for want of consensus.
Rahul's charge to force a discussion on communal situation is seen an attempt to shun the impression that he was not fit to lead from the front. Over past few weeks, voices inside Congress to bring his sister Priyanka Gandhi are becoming shriller, to salvage the party humbled in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls. Many Congress leaders feel that recluse attitude of Rahul is demoralising part workers. But unlike in the past, he has been attending the session regularly, though sometimes found playing with his mobile or sleeping on the back benches. Out of the 20 sittings of the Budget session that started on July 7, he has attended 15 sittings.
Rahul continued his aggressive show outside the House as well, accusing the speaker being partial and siding with the government by not allowing discussion.
"Only one man's voice is heard. We are not being allowed to speak in parliament. We are asking for discussion. There is a mentality in the government that discussion is not acceptable. Everybody feels it, their party feels it, we feel it, everybody feels it," Rahul told reporters.
Earlier, he also shared his anguish earlier in the lobby of the House with BJP patriarch Lal Krishna Advani during their chance meeting during an adjournment. He blurted out to Advani that the Opposition is not being allowed to speak.
Rahul was joined by the RJD MP Pappu Ranjan Yadav in the well, while Malikarjun Kharge continued to protest from his seat.
This made BJP MPs to sarcastically shout, "Kyon do Pappus well mein hain?" (why two Pappus in the well). Finance minister Arun Jaitley dubbed Rahul's "contrived aggression" in the Lok Sabha as a compulsion as the party leadership was facing a palace coup within - a hint at the reports that some Congress leaders are urging his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to play an active role. Jaitley said Rahul was making an issue out of a non-issue.

This home has been enjoyed by three generations as a family gathering spot for 42 years. It has also hosted many high school and college reunions as well. The proximity to Acadia National Park and Seal Harbor beach make this location are one of the best on the island. The views from this house encompass Schoodic Point, Baker's Island, Little Cranberry Island, Great Cranberry Island and Bunker's ledge. The huge outdoor terrace overlooking the ocean is a wonderful entertaining spot as well as a great place to eat outside while taking in the view.
This big summer cottage is the ideal vacation spot for a family reunion or a multiple family vacation. With 9 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, family and friends can spread out and then gather together in the large dining room or family room. For active vacationers, people can walk, ride, or drive into Acadia National Park which is just a mile away. Seal Harbor has access to fresh water lake swimming (Long Pond) and a nice sand beach at the head of harbor. The house has a mooring for rent for those that would like bring or rent a boat. Also access to a motorboat, sailboat, or canoe is negotiable.
This lovely house afforded our family a great opportunity to all be together for meals and socializing. There were 17 of us…adults and grown children. During the day family members went off hiking or touring but we would get together for dinners in the huge dinning room. The house is in a very convenient location… minutes from the Park entrance at Seal Harbor and no more than 10 minutes to Jordan Pond House. The back terrace is large and has a million dollar view.
Ilfracombe was a wonderful home base for our extended family reunion. We had a group of 11 ranging in age from 4 months to 86 years. Ilfracombe provided ambiance will all necessary conveniences. The home was a welcome place to return after days of hiking, biking, exploring, and shopping. The large dining room facilitated lingering family dinners. The front porch was popular all day from morning coffee to evening cocktails to night-time star-gazing. The downstairs provided large spaces for the whole group as well as private spaces for smaller groups. There were ample bedroom options.
We stayed for one week, My wife and I, our 4 children and their spouses, and our 6 grandchildren. The home accommodated all of us easily. The dining room is amazing. I was wonderful to be able to have our meals all together! The patio was a great place to hang out. The kids loved the library, reading room, and the toys that were available. The living room fire place came in handy for the few cold evening we had while we were there. Just everything about this home made it the prefect place to bring a large family to spend some quality time together. I highly recommend this for large families!
We had such an amazing time at Ilfracombe! The house is beautiful, fully stocked with anything you need, and the view was breath taking! I would highly recommend this house rental to large families or multiple families vacationing on MDI!! The owner was very nice and helpful!
This is a magnificent historic house and location. We had a party of ten and the terrace, larger dining room and kitchen work out great. The house has the best island location, very private and the view of the ocean is breathtaking from the very large terrace. Access to all of the island from this location can't be beat and it is a very short drive into Bar Harbor. Don't miss the path to the ocean a few streets down, its a short walk to the cove and very nice secluded area.

This property was the ideal vacation spot for my extended family group of 11. The view is spectacular and the house itself divine, It has a roomy kitchen, a huge dining room, a lovely breakfast room, an excellent library, and a wonderful terrace overlooking the ocean and islands. There is enough space for everyone to be together or enjoy a quiet time reading alone. We did not have children in our group, but Ilfracombe is a family-oriented , happy house for all ages. Highly recommended!

DALLAS (Business Wire) -- Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the sale of Power-One, Inc.

Menus consist of a menu bar containing menus, each of which drops down to display a list of menu items. The drop-down list of commands below a menu name (on the Menu bar) is called a menu. When a command on the menu has another list of commands that pops
up, the new list is called a submenu. Menu items that contain a submenu are displayed with a filled triangle to the right of the menu item.

As many as 234 trainees, including women and Coast Guard trainees, who completed the Naval Academy Course (NAC) and the Naval Orientation Course (NOC) at the Indian Naval Academy (INA) at Ezhimala here passed out on Saturday on completion of their training.
The passing out parade of the trainees of the 79 th NAC and ninth NOC was reviewed by Vice Admiral K.N. Sushil, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief (FOC-IN-C), Southern Naval Command. The NOC had
commenced in January 2007 in the INS Mandovi, the erstwhile Naval Academy in Goa, and completed here, while the NOC had begun here in June last. After reviewing the parade Admiral Sushil awarded medals, including the prestigious President's gold medal, to meritorious trainees.
Addressing the trainees, he said that the parade symbolised the ability of the institution and their ability to respond to the training and how they executed the training with precision and co-ordination. The training at the INA provided the foundation that would prepare the trainees to be capable officers trained to take part
in operations. "In doing so you are expected to have competence, character and courage", he said adding that the nation expected them to do their duty.
Academy cadet Captain Mario Chandi was awarded the President's gold medal. He was adjudged first in the overall order or merit in 10 + 2 NAC. Academy cadet Adjutant Ravikant Tiwari was awarded the Chief of
the Naval Staff silver medal for being adjudged the second in over all merit in the 10 + 2 Naval Academy course. Squadron Cadet Captain Aditya Raut,who was adjudged third in the merit, was presented the
bronze medal.
Shweta Parashar was adjudged first in the overall merit in the NOC and presented the Chief of the Naval Staff silver medal. Carl Tryon was awarded the INA Commandant Bronze medal for standing second.
Shweta Parashar was awarded FOC-IN-C South silver medal for being adjudged the best woman trainee of the NOC.
The passing out ceremony ended with the trainees forming two columns and marching past the quarter block in slow march to the tunes of 'Auld Lang Syne', a traditional martial tune played across the armed
forces when saying good bye to colleagues and comrades. On completion of the parade, the 'Shipping the Stripe' ceremony was conducted at the southern plaza of the INA. During this ceremony, parents of the NOC
trainees shipped the Naval and Cost Guard stripes of their wards. It symbolised the award of the President's commission to the young officers. The chief guest and other senior officers congratulated the trainees. The trainees magazine 'Ahoy' was released at the function.
INC officials said that on completion of the training at the INA, the officers would proceed for short attachments on board frontline warships of the Navy, followed by specialisation training in fields for which they had been selected while the cadets would proceed for their sea cadets training and subsequently mid-shipmen trainees on board the training ships of the Navy.
Commandant of the INA Rear Admiral Anurag G. Thapliyal was also present at the parade.

FedEx inks orders for 19 more 767s
FedEx Express moved Friday to boost domestic fleet efficiency with orders for another 19 Boeing B767-300 aircraft between fiscal 2015 and 2019.
The deal is part of an ongoing restructuring designed to push margins toward 10 percent in the slower-growing U.S. express market.
The latest commitment brings to 46 the number of 767s that will be bought over six years starting June 1, 2013.
The 767s will replace MD-10 and A310-200 aircraft. The new planes hold about the same cargo as MD-10s but are about 30 percent more fuel efficient and have unit operating costs more than 20 percent lower, officials said.
They also increase efficiency by sharing spare parts, tooling and flight simulators with FedEx's Boeing 757s.
"FedEx Express is positioning itself for more profitable growth by modernizing its aircraft fleet and better aligning its U.S. domestic air network to match current and anticipated shipment volumes," said David J. Bronczek, president and chief executive officer of FedEx Express.
The agreement comes six months after FedEx announced it would buy 27 new Boeing 767s to replace aging MD-10s, the workhorse of its domestic fleet.
In the latest supplemental agreement with Boeing, FedEx also bought options for another 15 767s and said Boeing had agreed to convert four 777 orders, two in fiscal 2016 and two in fiscal 2017, to 767 equivalent purchase value.
A Securities and Exchange Commission filing said four of the additional 19 purchases of 767s are conditioned on no change in current labor coverage of FedEx Express and its employees.
The company previously inserted such a caveat in its agreements on 777s, as a hedge against congressional attempts to make it easier for labor unions to organize workers at FedEx Express.
An attempt was turned back in 2010 to shift jurisdiction over FedEx Express's nonaviation workers from the Railway Labor Act to the National Labor Relations Act.
The 777 freighters are central to FedEx Express's international business. It has 19 in its fleet and commitments for another 24.
The company said the 767 purchase agreement had no material impact on capital spending this fiscal year and next year. This year's capital spending remains at $3.9 billion.

Pakistan: US drones hit militant hideouts, kill 18
ISLAMABAD U.S. drones fired missiles at three hideouts in a key militant sanctuary close to the Afghan border Friday, killing 18 suspected insurgents in the latest of a series of strikes conducted this week despite protests from Islamabad, Pakistani intelligence officials said.
The strikes all took place in the North Waziristan tribal area, the target of a planned Pakistani military operation that the U.S. expects in the near future. Hundreds of militants and their family members have streamed out of North Waziristan in the past few days in anticipation of the operation, local residents said.
Washington has long demanded Pakistan target militants holed up in North Waziristan and has welcomed the planned operation in the area. But Islamabad is likely to focus on Taliban militants who have been at war with Pakistan, not those who have been fighting the U.S.-led coalition in neighboring Afghanistan.
In a string of strikes Friday just minutes apart, U.S. missiles slammed into mud brick compounds located several kilometers (miles) from each other in the Shawal Valley, a heavily forested, mountainous area in North Waziristan that serves as one of the key crossing points for militants heading into Afghanistan, Pakistani intelligence officials said.
Eighteen suspected militants were killed and another 14 were wounded, the officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. It was not immediately clear which militant group was hit.
The U.S. has carried out seven drone strikes in the past week in North Waziristan, ignoring repeated Pakistani protests that they violate the country's sovereignty and international law. The covert CIA attacks have increasingly become a point of public conflict between the two countries, complicating an already troubled relationship that is vital to the outcome of war in neighboring Afghanistan.
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry summoned a senior U.S. diplomat Thursday to protest the strikes, and the ministry's spokesman, Moazzam Ahmad Khan, called the attacks "illegal, unproductive" during his weekly press briefing Friday.
But the reality behind the scenes is more nuanced - Pakistan secretly supported the strikes in the past, and U.S. officials say privately that key members of the government and military still do.
They Americans view the public denunciations of the strikes as a political tool to appease the large number of Pakistanis who disapprove of the missile attacks, and insist they have no intention of holstering a key weapon in the fight against Taliban and al-Qaida militants who threaten the West.
Pakistani officials have asked the U.S. to feed intelligence gathered by drones to Pakistani jets and ground forces so they can target the militants. But American officials say Pakistan has proved incapable or unwilling to target militants the U.S considers dangerous.
Last Saturday, a U.S. drone struck a militant hideout in North Waziristan, killing five allies of a powerful warlord, Hafiz Gul Bahadur, whose forces often attack U.S. troops in Afghanistan. American drones fired a flurry of missiles into the area Sunday, killing 10 suspected militants in two separate strikes. On Tuesday, missiles targeting a vehicle in North Waziristan killed five more suspected militants.

Stinky Feet... the dangers of thrush
By Bryan S. Farcus, B.S., C.F.
If you smell a foul odor while picking your horse's feet, chances are he has contracted thrush, a frog-eating, anaerobic bacterium. Thrush is a primary concern, whether your horse lives mainly at pasture or in a stable, especially in wet weather. Since this bacterial disease is anaerobic, it survives without the presence of oxygen. In fact, oxygen will actually kill it. In many minor cases, just a hoof picking a day will be enough to keep thrush away.
Conditions that accelerate thrush are conceptually (but not literally) relative to those that accelerate tooth decay within our teeth. It sounds absurd to hear that someone died of tooth decay. Unfortunately, I have heard of horses being put down due to advanced cases of thrush and I think how absurd, because thrush (frog decay) and cavities (tooth decay) are both hygiene-related and both easily prevented.
Generally speaking, thrush is not deadly. Most studies suggest that minor cases have a three-day window to arrive and a three-day window to disappear, provided that appropriate measures are taken.
Thrush problems for horses are essentially fostered by poor hygiene. It's difficult to comprehend the seriousness of something that appears so subtle, but due to the horse's hoof construction, it can be deadly if not dealt with properly.
The frog has two distinct layers--the external skin is called horn tissue and the corresponding vascular layer of tissue is called the sensitive corium. Beneath the inner sensitive layer lies a pad-like shock absorber that reduces concussion for the horse's hoof and his entire limb, called the deep digital cushion.
The signs of thrush will be noticeable at the deep crevices of the frog (sulci) when a black, puss-like discharge accompanied by a foul odor is present.
Thrush is likely to take over a hoof that is left in unsanitary conditions. A wet environment that primarily consists of urine and acidity from manure is a breeding ground for the anaerobic bacterium that are attracted to any necrotic (decayed) tissue that exists on the horse's frog. Not stopping at that, the bacteria will form deep-seated pockets and literally drill into the frog, eating away at the remaining healthy tissue.
One way to prevent thrush is by a thorough, daily hoof picking. It's not necessarily true that horses at pasture won't get thrush. They can, in certain seasonal situations. Horses left in muddy areas, particularly in the northeastern part of the U.S., may have to cope with wetter climates most months of the year, increasing the odds of contracting thrush. Horses that spend time in unsanitary conditions are also more susceptible to the bacteria.
In serious cases, the thrush bacteria invades the sensitive layers of the frog. It is common in these cases to see bleeding of the frog as well. If this happens, you should move your horse into a clean, dry area and use an antiseptic foot wash with Betadine solution or a foot soak with warm Epsom salt water. If bleeding still persists, apply a temporary bandage.
Remember, it's always a good idea to confer with your vet, who will probably suggest your horse receive a tetanus shot. Once the healing of the frog begins, it would be wise to maintain a "cleanliness-first" policy for your horse's feet.
Bryan Farcus is a Certified Farrier and instructor in West Virginia.
Thrush bustin'
Thrush needs tough treatment to eliminate it. Farrier Bryan Farcus has found several commercial products that successfully combat the frog-eating disease: Thrush Buster by Mustad, Kopertox by Fort Dodge and Thrush Remedy by Absorbine. Remember that regardless of the type of thrush medication you choose, it will be most effective when administered directly after a thorough hoof cleaning.
Prevention is the best cure.
"It's always a good idea to do a routine hoof picking so that you can keep a watchful eye on your horse's hoof health," concludes Farcus.

I grew up in New England for the most part, in Newport, Rhode Island, so I am well familiar with Boston propensity for violence and organized crime mayhem. The fabled Irish gangs that infest Bostons seedier neighborhoods are also a (waning) fixture in Providence, the capitol of Rhode Island. But Boston provides the back-drop for the latest Martin Scorsese blood-soak drama The Departed, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2007.
Directed by the aforementioned Martin Scorsese (Goodfellas, The Age of Innocence, Gangs of New York), The Departed (2006) is a remake of the 2002 Hong Kong film Internal Affairs.
In this retelling infamous Irish Mob boss Francis "Frank" Costello portrayed by one Jack Nicholson (The Last Detail, The Postman Always Rings Twice, A Few Good Men) plants his protégé, career criminal Colin Sullivan portrayed by Matt Damon (Field of Dreams, Courage under Fire, Good Will Hunting) as an informant within the Massachusetts State Police Department. At the same time, the State Police order Billy Costigan, portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio (Blood Diamond, The Aviator, Titanic), to infiltrate Costello's crew, going so far as to make the young men do time in the state prison as part of his cover. When either side of the game realizes that there is mole in their respective organizations, each man is ordered to discover the identity of the other informant before they are found out.
A plot twist not in the original film: a blond haired, blue-eyed police shrink Madolyn Madden (Vera Farmiga The Manchurian Candidate, Touching Evil) who hooks up romantically with both protagonists, and at the end of the film ends up pregnant, but by whom?
My Thoughts
The Departed is clearly one of Scorseses best. The plot is thick with intrigue, twists, turns and plenty of violence. I have to admit that the language was a bit harsh; i.e. these guys cussed more than a drunken sailor on his best night. Its hard for me to believe that there can be that level of unprofessional, disrespectful demeanor in any effective organization.
However, beyond that The Departed is standard Scorsese fair; the movie concentrates heavily on family and betrayal, and what forms the construct of both. The lead characters (DiCaprio and Damon) are essentially loners, but they are linked to the world of Boston South-side (Southies) gangsters by blood ties. Its clear why one decided to become a Trooper, as the Mass. State Police refer to their officers, but the other is a mystery. Is it to divest himself of family ties, or it is a form of redemption that only he can understand?
Along the way each man is guilty of at least one betrayal, but whom or what are they betraying when one organization is seemingly as corrupt and self-serving as the other, and honor is a dirty word?
The end The Departed ramps up the body count in typical Scorsese fashion; i.e. with lots of blood and detachment, and a few surprises. All-n-all The Departed was an enjoyable film and well worth seeing a second or third time, you know to catch what you may have missed the first or second viewing.

I'm looking at leaving July 5th and returning the 20th (or possibly earlier, but no later).
Route will be about 50/50 of highway and dirt. Still in the planning phases as far as route is concerned, but wanting to go through Crown King and Prescott on the way out of town to Jerome and camp out above Sedona in the treeline on day 1, spin by the southeast corner of the Grand Canyon on day 2 before ending up at Zion NP, go to Bryce Canyon NP on day 3, a couple days offroad seeing Utah high country before getting to Grand Teton NP on day 5, and about 3 days at Yellowstone after that. Return route is currently unplanned... maybe ride the Continental Divide Trail south through Colorado to New Mexico, then US-64 back to AZ?
If anyone is interested in joining me, send me a PM. I've got two tentative riders that may be coming, and I think 4-6 people would be a perfect sized group for this ride. Trip is still in very flexible planning stages.
Sounds like a fun ride. I won't be able to make it at that time, but I can give you a few pointers.
Don't forget that it's going to be very hot getting out of the valley and even up into Sedona and the Grand Canyon area that time of year. I also hear it can be hot up in Utah, but I've never been. Last year I did a ride at that time of year and I bought a cooling vest for $35 off ebay that did wonders. Check out the ride report in my signature line to see how that went. It doesn't look like we went as far north as you want to go, but I can say that the mountains East and West of Santa Fe were spectacular and much cooler than it is around here come summer time.
I'm looking forward to hearing about how this unfolds.

Open-sourced MicroSoft .NET vs Xojo
A client recently contacted me to ask my my opinion about this piece of news: Microsoft to open source more of .NET, and bring it to Linux, Mac OS X Was I surprised? Not really. Once Ballmer was gone, MicroSoft was hinting there would be big changes. This is pretty big news. However, I don't […]

He was the cynosure of all eyes at the Eden Gardens. The fans applauded warmly when the ball found him in the field, they cheered loudly when he threw the ball back, and went delirious when he occasionally acknowledged their chants of "Sachin, Sachin" as he patrolled the boundary.
He was a low-profile actor on the first day of his 199th Test, but was yet the star when playing even those minor parts.
The spectators who filled the stands must have prayed that M.S. Dhoni would win the toss and bat first. That did not happen.
But the fans did have their moment to savour. Just before tea, Dhoni lobbed the ball to Tendulkar in a move, perhaps, aimed at throwing a surprise at the West Indians.
He was ready, of course. Tendulkar takes his bowling seriously, only a shade lesser than his batting. He is known to throw challenges at the batsmen in the 'nets' and win most of them.
After brief warm up, a study of the field — and some fine-tuning — he was ready to bowl.
A leg-break was attempted but the delivery lacked turn. The next one was a googly that would have done a regular tweaker proud, but line was a problem.
The ball beat even Dhoni. Four byes. A slower leg break seemed to suggest he was setting the batsman up.
And then, Tendulkar struck. A quicker one trapped Shane Shillingford in front, evoking a rapturous response from the crowd.
His previous Test wicket was at Cape Town in 2011 — a Test in which he had scored a century.
The fans will pray for his quick arrival at the middle when play resumes on Thursday. Before this match ends, some would sure love to see Tendulkar don the wicketkeeper's gloves for a while.
It is, perhaps, the only role that has eluded him on a cricket field.
