SAVAR, Bangladesh — Even amid the euphoria over finding a woman alive in the rubble of a garment factory that collapsed more than two weeks ago, rescuers on Saturday returned to the grim task of dismantling the wreckage and retrieving decomposing bodies, knowing there was little chance of finding any more survivors.
The death toll from Bangladesh's worst industrial disaster is more than 1,000 and climbing. More than 2,500 people were rescued in the immediate aftermath of the April 24 disaster, but until Friday, crews had gone nearly two weeks without discovering anyone alive.
Then, in the midst of what had become a grim search for decaying bodies following the world's worst garment industry disaster, rescuers found a woman alive, providing a much-needed boost for the weary workers.
For 17 days, the 19-year-old woman, a seamstress, lay trapped in a dark basement pocket beneath thousands of tons of wreckage as temperatures outside climbed into the mid-30s Celsius (mid-90s Fahrenheit). She rationed food and water. She banged a pipe to attract attention. She was fast losing hope of ever making it out alive.
In the ruins of the collapsed eight-store garment factory building above her, the frantic rescue operation had long ago ended.
Pakistanis go to the polls in historic election marred by violence; 16 killed in attacks
The violence was a continuation of what has been a brutal election season with more than 130 people killed in bombings and shootings. Some are calling this one of the deadliest votes in the country's history.
Despite the violence, many see the election — the country's first transition between an elected government fulfilling its term to another — as a key step to solidify civilian rule for a country that has experienced three military coups.
Twin blasts in the port city of Karachi targeted the political offices of the Awami National Party, one of three secular liberal parties that have been targeted by Taliban militants during the run-up to the election, said police officer Shabir Hussain. Nine people died in the attack and 30 were wounded.
In the northwestern city of Peshawar a bomb exploded outside a polling station, killing at least one person and wounding 10 others, said police officer Mukhtiar Khan.
A look at the major issues ahead of Pakistan's nationwide elections
ISLAMABAD — National elections come at a time of widespread despair in Pakistan, as the country suffers from faltering economic growth, worsening energy shortages and continued attacks by militants.
FALTERING ECONOMIC GROWTH: The economy has grown at less than 4 percent a year under the most recent government, which was led by the Pakistan People's Party and governed for five years. That is much lower than the rates during the previous administration, which at times hovered near 7 percent. Under the most recent government, inflation spiked, reaching an annualized rate of around 25 percent in some months. However, the inflation rate has fallen and averaged around 11 percent last year.
ENERGY SHORTAGES: Electricity shortages nearly doubled under the PPP compared with the previous administration. Some places in Pakistan suffer blackouts for up to 18 hours a day during summer months. The country also has experienced increased shortages of natural gas, which were felt acutely during the winter because many people rely on natural gas to heat their homes as well as cook. Spending on energy subsidies and failing public enterprises has helped sap the government's funds, which are much lower than they should be because of ineffective tax collection. The combination of these factors means the government will likely have to seek yet another unpopular bailout from the International Monetary Fund.
TALIBAN ATTACKS: The military has launched numerous operations against the Pakistani Taliban in the country's northwest tribal region along the Afghan border during the past five years. Analysts say the operations and U.S. drone attacks against militants in the tribal region have helped produce a significant decline in overall levels of violence in 2011 and 2012. But the Taliban have remained a potent threat, including during the election campaign. The group carried out near-daily attacks against election candidates and offices that killed more than 120 people. The militants mostly targeted liberal secular parties that supported operations against the Taliban. Sectarian violence by radical Sunni Muslim militants against minority Shiites also has significantly worsened in recent months.
DNA shows Ohio kidnap suspect fathered girl freed with 3 women; relatives call him paranoid
CLEVELAND — As relatives of the Cleveland kidnapping and rape suspect recounted claims of his unnerving paranoia and violent outbursts, DNA testing confirmed the man who allegedly held three women captive for nearly a decade is the father of a 6-year-old girl who escaped from the house along with the women.Ariel Castro, charged with rape and kidnapping, remained jailed Friday under a suicide watch on $8 million bond while prosecutors weighed more charges, including some that might carry the death penalty. Public defender Kathleen Demetz, who said she is acting as Castro's adviser while he awaits a full-time attorney, said Friday she can't speak to his guilt or innocence and said only that she advised him not to talk to reporters.
But those who know the 52-year-old Castro are speaking up, saying he was often angry, paranoid and prone to violent outbursts against the mother of his children. He frequently beat her, played bizarre psychological games and locked her indoors, they said.
The stories, repeated in separate interviews with The Associated Press by members of Castro's extended family, have surprised people who knew him as a musician who played bass in several bands around Cleveland the last two decades.
Miguel Quinones, manager of a group Castro played with twice as a backup bass player about five years ago, said he had nothing bad to say about Castro based on his own experiences.
New bits of information feed GOP's claim that Benghazi is huge liability for Obama, Clinton
WASHINGTON — Steady drips of information about a horrific night in Libya are fueling Republican arguments and ads designed to fire up the conservative base and undercut the Democrats' early favorite for president in 2016.
Democratic and Republican strategists sharply disagree on the issue's power to influence elections next year and beyond. But after eight months of trying, Democrats are still struggling to move past last September's terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, which killed ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Democrats insist that an independent inquiry, the dismissal of several State Department officials, and nine congressional hearings leave little new to say on the matter. But Friday turned up the sort of nuggets that feed conservative activists' belief that a major scandal may still be at hand.
Newly revealed communications show that senior State Department officials pressed for changes in the talking points that U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice used a few days after the Benghazi attacks. These senior officials expressed concerns that Congress might criticize the Obama administration for ignoring warnings of a growing threat in Libya.
The White House has insisted that it made only stylistic changes to the intelligence agency talking points, in which Rice suggested that spontaneous protests over an anti-Islamic video set off the deadly attack. The new details suggest a greater degree of political sensitivity and involvement by the White House and State Department.
Va. woman says faith prompted her efforts to get bury Boston Marathon bombing buried
DOSWELL, Va. — The Virginia woman whose actions led to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev being buried about 30 miles north of her Richmond home said the angry backlash from local officials, some cemetery neighbors and online critics has been unpleasant, but she has no regrets.
"I can't pretend it's not difficult to be reviled and maligned," Martha Mullen told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Friday. "But any time you can reach across the divide and work with people that are not like you, that's what God calls us to do."
Tsarnaev, 26, was quietly buried Thursday at a small Islamic cemetery in rural Caroline County. His body had remained at a Worcester, Mass., funeral parlor since he was killed April 19 in a gunfight with police, days after the bombings that killed three and injured more than 260 in downtown Boston. Cemeteries in Massachusetts and several other states refused to accept the remains. With costs to protect the funeral home mounting, Worcester police appealed for help finding a place to bury Tsarnaev.
Mullen said she was at a Starbucks when she heard a radio news report about the difficulty finding a burial spot for Tsarnaev.
"My first thought was Jesus said love your enemies," she said.
Newtown panel recommends tearing down Sandy Hook elementary school, rebuilding on site
NEWTOWN, Conn. — Newtown parents Steven Uhde and Peter Barresi didn't want the town to abandon the Sandy Hook Elementary School property where 20 first-graders and six educators were killed in December and build a new school elsewhere, saying that would be like letting the gunman win.
So they were glad Friday night when a task force of 28 local elected officials voted unanimously in favor of a plan calling for tearing down Sandy Hook School and constructing a new building on the same property.
"I think our message should be at that site that love can win over fear," said Uhde, whose son is a Sandy Hook second-grader.
Barresi said he was worried that if a new school was built at a different location, "We didn't just lose 20 children and six adults, we're letting him (the gunman) take the building too." His son attends the first grade and was on the other side of the school from where the shootings happened.
The plan approved by the Sandy Hook School Building Task Force now goes to the local school board and ultimately will have to be approved by residents at a referendum.
IRS apologizes for inappropriately targeting conservative political groups in 2012 election
WASHINGTON— The Internal Revenue Service is apologizing for what it acknowledges was "inappropriate" targeting of conservative political groups during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status.
IRS agents singled out dozens of organizations for additional reviews because they included the words "tea party" or "patriot" in their exemption applications, Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups, said Friday. In some cases, groups were asked for lists of donors, which violates IRS policy in most cases, she said.
The agency — led at the time by a Bush administration appointee — blamed low-level employees, saying no high-level officials were aware. But that wasn't good enough for Republicans in Congress, who are conducting several investigations and asked for more.
"I call on the White House to conduct a transparent, government-wide review aimed at assuring the American people that these thuggish practices are not under way at the IRS or elsewhere in the administration against anyone, regardless of their political views," said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
White House spokesman Jay Carney declared it was indeed inappropriate for the IRS to target tea party groups. But he brushed aside questions about whether the White House itself would investigate.
Space station leaking ammonia coolant; astronauts will do spacewalk to try to fix it
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Two astronauts will venture outside the International Space Station on Saturday to tackle an ammonia leak in the power cooling system.
The leak was discovered Thursday and the repair job was quickly planned for the weekend.
Spacewalks usually aren't done on such short notice. But NASA wanted to try to fix the leak before all the ammonia escaped. The space agency also wanted to take advantage of a veteran spacewalker who is due to return home on Monday with two other astronauts.
The two spacewalkers — Americans Chris Cassidy and Tom Marshburn — will swap out a pump box on one of the eight solar panels that supply electricity to the station.
NASA says the station has plenty of power, and the six-man crew is not in danger.
MLB suspends, fines umpires after acknowledging 2nd mistake in 2 days
NEW YORK — Major League Baseball suspended umpire Fieldin Culbreth for two games on Friday because he was in charge of the crew that allowed Astros manager Bo Porter to improperly switch relievers in the middle of an inning.
Culbreth and the rest of his crew — Brian O'Nora, Bill Welke and Adrian Johnson — were also fined an undisclosed amount after MLB admitted its umps goofed for the second straight day.
"The rule covering pitching changes was not applied correctly by the umpiring crew," MLB said in a statement.
Culbreth and his crew worked the Padres-Rays game in Tampa, Fla., on Friday night.
He told a pool reporter after the game that he takes "all the responsibility" for what happened.

When it comes to PC gaming, desktop gaming computers are the workhorses of the industry, but you can have a mobile gaming experience with laptops if they have the right components. Gaming laptops do tend to be larger and heavier than their lightweight notebook counterparts, yet that seems a fair trade-off for their large screens and powerful computer graphics. Here are some tips for choosing gaming laptops that will let you take your games on the go.
Tapered keys: Many laptop computer designs are moving toward flatter keyboard profiles. Although that can be stylish, it can make it harder to feel the individual keys by touch. Notebook computers with tapered, wide-set keys will give you a better tactile experience, so you can watch the action on your laptop screen instead of hunting for the right key.
Audio ports: The latest video games are encoded with amazing sound, including surround-sound effects that laptops with plain stereo speakers won't play. Laptops that have these additional audio ports can be plugged into a larger speaker system for a more immersive game-play experience.
Powerful graphics processors: Video games require a lot of processing power to produce rich interactive worlds. Desktop gaming computers will pack that power into one or more graphics cards. Some gaming laptops include graphics cards, but it's more common that the GPU will be integrated into the laptop motherboard. Be sure to check the hardware requirements on the games you plan to run and compare them to the specifications on the laptops you're considering.
Large screen: A large screen will let you enjoy the superior graphics that your laptop provides. Most gaming laptops include a screen of 15 inches or larger. If you plan to watch high-definition movies with your laptop as well, you'll want a minimum screen resolution of 1366 x 768 (HD) pixels or larger.
HDMI ports: You're not limited to using the power of your laptop on just your laptop screen. If your laptop has an HDMI port, you can use your HDTV as a display. HDMI can also port sound to your home theater system, giving you superior sound quality.
Firewire or USB ports: For serious gaming, you may want a separate keyboard and gaming mouse for better control. That means using external ports to plug your accessories into. Firewire and USB ports also allow you to plug external hard drives and memory sticks into your laptop.
DVD or Blu-ray disc drive: All that video processing power is great for playing your favorite movies. A Blu-ray disc drive or DVD drive can let you enjoy high-definition entertainment anywhere.

PARIS Sanofi has halted all clinical trials and cancelled plans to seek regulatory approval of fedratinib, a drug in late-stage development against rare bone marrow cancers, due to safety concerns.
The decision follows recent reports of cases consistent with the neurological disorder Wernicke's encephalopathy in patients in the fedratinib trials, the French drugs group said in a statement on Monday.
Fedratinib is a so-called JAK2 inhibitor medicine that was in final Phase III tests for treating myelofibrosis, a rare cancer of the bone marrow. The disease can occur in people with no history of bone marrow problems - in which case it is called primary myelofibrosis - and also in people who have essential thrombocythaemia or polycythaemia vera.
Industry analysts had penciled in relatively modest financial forecasts for the specialist oncology medicine, with sales of $226 million seen in 2017, following an expected launch in 2014, according to consensus forecasts compiled by Thomson Reuters Pharma.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) directed Sanofi to put all fedratinib trials on clinical hold while the company thoroughly investigated the cases of Wernicke's encephalopathy.
Sanofi said it took immediate action requesting that study investigators discontinue fedratinib treatment for patients in the trials.
Patients in fedratinib trials should consult with their treating physician to determine the best alternative course of therapy for their myelofibrosis, it said.

5800 decaf hotter than 5800 Ultra?
If you have a GeForce FX 5800 of any flavor, could you be so kind as to respond:
- post your running temperature as shown in the Control Panel?
- tell whether your rear heatsink is too hot to touch in 2D mode?
While testing a PNY 5800 Ultra and an ASUS 5800 regular, I find the Ultra is noticably cooler to the touch in 2D modes, but the non-ultra is too hot to touch regardless of whether it's in 2D or 3D mode.
However, the Display Advanced control panel reports 49-53°C for either card in 2D mode. (Up to 72°C after gaming for a duration in 3D modes.)
After seeing DRAMs fail in one 5800 Ultra, I put active cooling on rear of the PNY Ultra (a 50 mm "case" fan). I'm wondering if a more powerful thermal solution is needed for the rear of the 5800 regular, or if this is a defective (overheating) card.
Room temp 18deg C (reported by digital desk thermometer)
Motherboard: 25 (as reported by BIOS)
Ambient: 33 (as reported by driver)
I sampled the 3d temperature by leaving the temperature display on screen and exiting during the GunMetal2 benchmark at different times. That was the highest temp I saw. I get similar results in 3DMark2003.
Note that the room temperature is low because it is winter here, but you can directly add to that to simulate summer, so a hot summer day could be +20degC, and time to run air conditioners or room fans at gale force.
Also note that the GPU cools very quickly. Eg. within 1 sec it drops from 64 to about 48 deg, then over the next few seconds falls to 41, then slowly cools back to its 2D speed.
GeforceFX 5800 (non-ultra) @ 470/940
Athlong XP 2100 (Palomino)
Epox 8RDA+ (nForce2)
512mb PC2100
Lots of Case fans.
Note the 470/940 speeds are nice and cool. This card will run stable at higher speeds and run 99% stable at 490/980 with default cooling, but can soft crash (eg. exit app and continue) if running for many hours at that speed. Also, at that highest speed, the fan speeds up as the GPU gets over 80degC. I got it to 90degC repeatedly running 1 particular benchmark at those near ultra speeds. This card won't run at ultra speeds with default cooling.
BTW, the GPU and the board should be rated well over 100degC before you start doing physical damage to it. The computer will show visible problems and crash before you physically damage the card.
room temperature: 25~30 ℃
i am using inno3D fx5800 non-ultra.
i have touched the heatsink and it didnt burn my fingers, when it was around 50 ℃ i think.
i am using a fan on the backplate... when i remove it and feel the heatsink, it is just slightly warm.
i have o/c'ed my gainward 5800 nu to ultra speeds and it still runs @ around 50oC after a 2 hr stint on NFS underground or MOH

Guys, I'm little bit stuck here. My GT suddenly started to reboot after 3 minutes from it's start. I tried to factory reset and clean install of several roms, but the problem is whenever I flash any rom without any errors I got the old rom functioning, I tried to flash a new version of CWM recovery with the same result. Tried TWRP and Phillz with the same. When flashing tried Odin and sideload. I can\t use internal memory as I can\t stop my tab from rebooting. Tried to flash original firmware with Odin 1.85, it completes successfully but when it reboots I got the old ROM functioning with the same frequent reboot.
Tried to flash PIT file as I doubt data partition is not accessible, with official firmware but I got CM as usual.
Recovery log shows that /emmc can not be mounted. It maybe the problem
All processes complete successfully with no errors, but I got the old ROM functioning as if I was doing nothing. Can you guys help me with that?
ROM: CyanogenMod cm 10.1.3 with android version 4.2.2
kernel 3.0.31-CM-gac1803e
Recovery: CWM 184.108.40.206
I'm just put my tab away about 4 days ago... then it started reboot
It's PASSED when using odin 1.85 / 1.87... but FAILED when using odin 3.XX to flash firmware...
I've tried wipe cache/data... and flash CWM.. Philz... even PIT.... nothing change...
I'm considering to bring my tab to the service center....

Vatican: 100,000 attend Syria peace vigil
VATICAN CITY — Tens of thousands of people filled St. Peter's Square for a four-hour Syria peace vigil late Saturday, answering Pope Francis' call for a grassroots cry for peace that was echoed by Christians and non-Christians alike in Syria and in vigils around the world.
The Vatican estimated about 100,000 took part in the Rome event, making it one of the largest rallies in the West against proposed U.S.-led military action against the Syrian regime following the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack near Damascus.
Francis spent most of the vigil in silent prayer, but during his speech he issued a heartfelt plea for peace, denouncing those who are "captivated by the idols of dominion and power" and destroy God's creation through war.
"This evening, I ask the Lord that we Christians, and our brothers and sisters of other religions and every man and woman of good will, cry out forcefully: Violence and war are never the way to peace!" he said.
"May the noise of weapons cease!" he said. "War always marks the failure of peace, it is always a defeat for humanity."
In Damascus, a few dozen Syrian Christians attended a service in the al-Zaytoun Church, joining Francis' invitation for a global participation in the day of fasting and prayer and to oppose outside military intervention in the conflict.
Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregorios III Laham of Antioch and All East presided, saying most countries supported a political solution to the crisis in Syria and few wanted military action. "This is the start of the victory," he told the Damascus faithful. "No to war. Yes for peace."
In Washington, at least 150 protesters picketed in front of the White House and marched to Capitol Hill to voice their opposition to a U.S. military strike in Syria. Anti-war protests were also held in other U.S. cities, including one in New York City's Times Squares and a prayer vigil in Boston that echoed Saturday's massive gathering at the Vatican.
Medea Benjamin, a founder of the anti-war group Code Pink, said a cross-section of Americans, many of whom disagree on a variety of issues, are united against military intervention.
"We have suddenly found ourselves united as Americans, overwhelmingly saying we will not let you drag us into another war," Benjamin shouted into a megaphone in front of the White House.
Francis announced the day of fasting and prayer Sept. 1, alarmed at the acceleration of U.S. threats to strike Syria after the chemical weapons attack.
Since then, the Vatican has ramped up its peace message, summoning ambassadors for a briefing by the Holy See foreign minister this week. Francis appealed directly to world powers at the Group of 20 meeting in Russia, urging them to abandon the "futile pursuit" of a military solution in Syria and work instead for a negotiated settlement.
Bishops around the world joined Francis in the daylong fast and organized similar vigils in their home dioceses. In Francis' native Argentina, human rights and religious groups held a vigil in Buenos Aires' Plaza de Mayo and in cities across the country. Vatican Radio reported similar initiatives were taking place throughout Italy, in Cuba and elsewhere. Even the grand mufti of Damascus, who thanked the pope for his initiative in a letter earlier this week, invited Muslims to join the fast in solidarity.
Vatican officials have stressed that Saturday's event was religious, not political. But the gathering nevertheless took on the air of an anti-war rally, with protesters holding up Syrian flags and banners in the square reading "Don't attack Syria" and "Obama you don't have a dream, you have a nightmare." A few rainbow "Peace" flags fluttered in the breeze.
But by the time the vigil got underway, the posters and flags had mainly disappeared as a more religious tone took over, with leaders from a variety of Christian and non-Christian denominations joining cardinals, politicians and ordinary folk for the evening of prayer, hymns and meditation.
"This is already a success, the fact that all of us are here, Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, atheists," a Hindu believer named Anata said. Pilgrims "made an effort to fast, not to do many things, and come here from all over Italy and Europe. This is already a success."
The pope entered the square from the basilica steps, foregoing his usual high-spirited drive through in his open car — an indication of the sobriety of the evening, which capped a day of fasting for the pontiff.
The 76-year-old pope held up well throughout the four hours — lasting longer than many who by the vigil's 11 p.m. conclusion had already gone home. He thanked those who had stayed to the end for their company, and wished them a good night's sleep.
The peace vigil marked something of a novelty for the Vatican: Nothing of its kind has ever taken place in St. Peter's Square, though popes past have participated in daylong peace prayers in places like Assisi, known for its peace-loving native son and the pope's namesake, St. Francis.
That's not to say popes haven't taken vigorous anti-war positions in the past: Pope Paul VI famously uttered the words "War never again, never again war" at the United Nations in 1965 as the Vietnam War raged, a refrain that has been repeated by every pope since. Pope John Paul II sent an envoy to President George W. Bush on the eve of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq urging him to stand down — to no avail.
Francis has condemned the use of chemical weapons in Syria, but has been careful not to lay blame on any one side, exhorting world leaders instead to focus on the plight of Syrian civilians and the need in general to end the violence.
Other church officials, both at the Vatican and in dioceses, have been more pointed in their criticism of any internationalization of the conflict, saying U.S.-French military strikes will only exacerbate the situation for civilians, particularly Christian minorities.

Kerry: Budget impasse a challenge for US diplomacy
Wednesday - 2/20/2013, 3:12pm EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Secretary of State John Kerry says the greatest challenge to U.S. foreign policy is not emerging China or Middle East instability. It's Congress.
In a speech Wednesday at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Kerry cited the adage that "we can't be strong in the world unless we are strong at home." He called the budget impasse a threat.
The State Department has said automatic spending cuts would jeopardize $2.6 billion in aid, security assistance and other international programs.
Kerry said legislators need to avoid "senseless cuts."
Otherwise, he said his credibility as a diplomat might be damaged.
Kerry said, "Think about it: It's hard to tell the leadership of any number of countries that they must resolve their economic issues if we don't resolve our own."

Still in the chase
Moody and Miller boys battling for playoff spot
It has all been about staying alive for the Miller and Moody boys basketball teams this week.
In jeopardy of falling three games back for the final playoff berth in District 28-5A, both the Bucs and Trojans responded with season-saving victories earlier in the week to climb right back into the district playoff hunt.
Both Miller and Moody had dropped their first three district games before coming up with big wins Tuesday.
The Bucs rode the strength of a 24-point first quarter en route to a 72-59 victory over Ray (2-2 in district) to pull to within one game of the Texans for the third and final playoff spot in the district. Jeremiah Jenkins, Eric Hernandez and Jacolby Satterwhite combined for 54 points for Miller.
The Trojans also took advantage of a strong first-half performance to post a 64-61 victory over King (which is also 1-3 in district) to keep within striking distance of a district playoff berth as well.
Jerome Rives and Artie Martinez combined for 34 points and four 3-pointers made.
The Trojans host Miller tonight, before the defending District 28-5A champion Bucs travel to play Carroll on Tuesday in a key district rematch. The 16th-ranked Tigers (3-1 in district games) won the previous meeting between the teams, 73-51.
Super Tuesday
The Miller-Carroll game won't be the only marquee boys basketball matchup Tuesday night. Old District 31-4A rivals collide when District 31-4A leader Flour Bluff travels to play second-place Calallen. The Hornets won the first district meeting between the teams, 42-37 at Flour Bluff High School.
Calallen (7-1 in district) will be just a game behind Flour Bluff (8-0) if both teams win their games tonight against Alice and Kingsville, respectively.
Stanford bound senior post Will Paul has had the hot hand for Calallen lately. He's averaging 26 points in his past two games - including a recent 33-point effort against Tuloso-Midway (6-2), which has a two-game lead on the Brahmas (4-4) for the district's final playoff spot right now.
Girls basketball
Playoff picture clearing up
The playoff picture in District 28-5A isn't so cloudy anymore, as district leader and 11th-ranked Carroll (6-0 in district), second-place Ray (5-1 in district) and third-place Moody (4-2) appear to have the inside track on the three playoff berths from the district.
All three of those teams will play at home tonight, as the Tigers square off with King, Ray takes on Victoria Memorial and Moody matches up with Miller.
In District 31-4A, district leader Calallen (10-0) and second-place Alice (9-1) have separated themselves from the rest of the pack, while Flour Bluff and Gregory-Portland remain in a battle for the final playoff spot.
Hornets coach James McMinn originally thought Flour Bluff would have to win out in the second part of district to make the playoffs but that's changed after Flour Bluff received some much needed help from Kingsville earlier in the week. The Hornets (6-4 in district) - who fell to Alice, 47-39 Tuesday - remained in a third-place tie with G-P (6-4), thanks to the Brahmas who upset the Lady Cats, 49-47.
Calallen travels to Alice to take on the Coyotes in a district showdown tonight, while Flour Bluff hosts Kingsville and G-P plays at Tuloso-Midway.
Seahawks, Owls take flight
With state-ranked girls basketball teams such as Class 5A Carroll, Class 3A West Oso, Class 2A Refugio and Class A Port Aransas playing in the Coastal Bend area, the unranked Odem Owls and Riviera Seahawks have flown under the radar for most of the season.
While Odem and Riviera aren't getting the attention that comes with being state-ranked, they are more importantly continuing to pick up victories, especially in their respective districts. The Owls (22-4 overall) improved to 8-0 in District 31-2A earlier in the week by clawing out a 53-24 triumph over Freer.
Ashley Hairgrove (who had 13 points), Marissa Barrera (12 points) and Brianna Pfluger (11) scored in double figures in the win for Odem, which travels to play George West tonight.
The Seahawks (19-6 overall), meanwhile, clipped Santa Rosa, 70-63 earlier in the week to improve to 8-0 in District 32-2A play.
Lisa Gonzalez (who scored 36 points) and Andrea Garza (15 points) paved the way to victory for Riviera, which travels to play Bishop tonight.

Buckvader sends Ryan DesRoches to KR1963 for Cole Von Ohlen & a Drop/Add
Confirmed.....good bye DesRoches although I'm saddened as my team will miss you, you are getting a good home and my team will be getting a new stud with Minnesota roots! Welcome Minnesota grown Cole Von Ohlen!
Von Ohlen is not a good pick up IMO. not for Des Roches
I always thought Cole was a bit over rated, but people love his bonus and ignore his lack of big wins.
Well. We will find out. but i would have hung on to Des Roches during a monsterous improvement year in a weak weight class.
V.O is WAY overrated at 149. Ranked 5th ? and majored by the 4th ranked guy / (Grajales)/does NOT bode well.
1. Take a look at DesRoches wins from this year. He's beaten 6 "good" guys.....4 of them were overtime or one point victories.
2. I'm still a little pissed at him for not showing up at Midlands.
3. Most importantly I think Lee Munster has exploded and will out place DesRoches at NCAAs
4. Cole Von Ohlen is a Minnesota boy
5. I got a drop/add too - ya'll know how I love drop/adds ;)
IF you like hwts pick up chalfant from Iu-got thrown fro 4 then came back and lost 6-4 to Rasing tonight .Has already beaten Thomuseitt

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 09, 2014
During the month of August 2014, United Patients Group (UPG) is running an educational campaign that emphasizes its pioneering high-touch way of conducting business that advertisers, patients and caregivers respect and expect.
"We offer guidance and support from the moment you contact us until you reach your own comfort level," said John Malanca, owner and founder of UPG. "Our niche is a unique business model, so people are confused. Our team is constantly fielding inquiries from people who ask where our dispensary is located, or want to know which products we carry."
Malanca says the majority of our callers are seeking help for seriously ill patients who are living with debilitating conditions like epilepsy, cancer, pain and auto-immune conditions.
"These patients and their caregivers are often desperate and confused about the cannabis treatment process," said John. "We do much more than just point them in the right direction––we provide one-on-one guidance and support until they are comfortable with the process."
John said the emotional element of dealing with chronic disease is often absent or forgotten in the medical field, so he and his staff make themselves available by phone or Skype to listen and provide needed empathy and guidance. "This virtual hand-holding is what is needed in the industry today, and we're happy to fill that niche."
UPG will highlight the following patient and business service offerings during the next few weeks:
UPG is a one-stop resource for information and guidance for patients or caregivers in all stages of the cannabis treatment process. UPG helps facilitate patient choices in the following ways:
United Patients Group Seal of Approval -
With numerous cannabis-related brands and cannabis products available, it is difficult for patients and caregivers to decide which ones are reliable and effective. UPG has the expertise to connect them to quality oil makers and trusted product companies. UPG analyzes every product it recommends and awards the best of the best with the United Patients Group Seal of Approval.
UPG is a full-service marketing and advertising firm that helps individuals and companies get in front of cannabis patients who use the UPG Website for information and guidance. On and offline, UPG is a leading industry resource for medical cannabis products and medicinal cannabis organizations worldwide.
Here are some ways UPG helps medical cannabis companies serve patients:
Looking to make in-house marketing efforts more effective? UPG offers consultations on strategic planning, social media, branding, forming partnerships and more. Contact UPG for details.
Partnering with Like-Minded Businesses -
UPG's mission is to provide the best guidance and advice for cannabis patients around the globe while highlighting products that are safe, trusted and accessible. UPG runs its business the old-fashioned way––by listening to its clients and truly caring about the patient's health. UPG partners with like-minded businesses to help them spread the word and help medical cannabis patients find the right products that help them get the relief they deserve.

ON TOP OF THE WORLD ... with a little help from a friend. Mike & Anne Edwards and their Two'sDay on a peak in Formentor, Mallorca during their favorite cycle training camp.
[Thanks to Marilyn & Stan Smith of Albany, for encouraging Mike and Anne to write to us! Stan Turner runs the event described below every year during the last two weeks of April and he usually has a few riders from America. His e-mail address is email@example.com - Ed]
For the third time in four years we have taken part in a cycle training camp at Puerto Pollensa run by Stan Turner, always held during the last two weeks of April. We particularly enjoy these because Stan has a touring group whose rides are so much like our own.
They also hold social events some evenings in the general room at The Hobby Club. This is attached to an apartment complex and we had a ground floor one overlooking the swimming pool and sea. A good and substantial breakfast and dinner was taken in Pollensa Park Hotel about five minutes walk away.
This year we decided to extend our time and spend an extra two weeks at the start to see other parts of the island. We flew into Palma Airport and were met by a friend of Derek's who drove us in his van to Puerto Pollensa to a small hotel which is also run by another friend.
Derek and his partner Laurita are Portsmouth CTC riders who have recently bought an apartment in PP and are living permanently on the island. In the afternoon I removed our Tandem Two'sday from the two suitcases and assembled it.
We packed the bare minimum that we would need for the two weeks prior to the cycle training camp and with help from Derek, took our cases round to his apartment where he was going to store our spare clothes in the cases under their bed.
The next morning we, accompanied by Derek on his solo set off for the hotel booked for a week at Cala D'or, 50 miles away. Derek left us on our own after elevenses and after a quick ride (back wind) we settled in our hotel. We had booked this from home and we were upgraded to a better hotel because the original one was not going to be open in time. It turned out to be mainly catering for Saga visitors (our age group but rather less active). They were on full board with all drinks included. We were taken as being part of the group and had unlimited tea or coffee. I offered to pay the first time but was told that it was all included, so who was I to argue. I was silly enough to order our dinner wine from the menu, otherwise we would probably got this free.
It was a lovely area for cycling and each day we did a local cycle tour. A particular highlight was on the Sunday when we visited Felanitx market and then climbed up to a monastery on the highest peak in the area Emile San Salvadore at 2000 feet.
We were not alone because most of the cyclists in the area seemed to have the same idea. For the first few days the weather was cold and we had extremely strong winds. On the Wednesday night there was a terrific storm but we were safely tucked up in bed. Our hotel room was overlooking the sea and we could hear the waves crashing on the rocks.
Most of our rides took us through a lovely area in the Parc Natural de Mondragh just south west of Cala D'or. We spent many hours having fun getting lost on the numerous lanes through the park and at the end of our time there felt that at last we knew them all.
After the week had ended we decided to move onto Cala Bona feeling that we had fully explored the area. By this time the weather had improved and with one days exception had good weather and little wind for the rest of the time. During the whole month I never needed to put on my cape.
A short ride of about 25 miles took us to Cala Millor a seaside town, which links up with Cala Bona. I managed to get a good deal at a hotel, which also had a lot of Saga visitors.
However, I found that this was rather better organised and there was no chance of free tea or coffee, let alone wine. We always have our teapot and plug in water heater with us so this was no problem. We did subsequently discover that Cala Millor caters rather more for German visitors and Cala Bona for the English. The only downside with this was that for announcements during the evening entertainment would be in English and German.
Also I had to be rather more careful in my choice of food from the buffet because the German food tended to be rather more fatty with sausages etc. Fortunately there were always alternatives. We had good rides from this base but after five days were running out of destinations. On the sixth day we moved on to our last base at Puerto Pollensa, about 40 miles away.
We arrived at the same time as the airport coaches and it was good to meet up with old friends from previous years. Mike and Peggy, club friends from home arrived with their tandem - the only other one on the camp.
The last fortnight provided the best riding being just like club riding at home. Terry, the touring rides organizer also had to cater for the non cyclists so during the time he led several walks. Mostly these were on roads so Ann and I opted to do our own thing on these days using the tandem.
Terry tended to pick non hilly rides so Ann and I took to the hills on these spare days. No, we are not that keen on climbing mountains but they do provide the best views, particularly on a clear sunny day.
One day we did our annual visit to Lluc Monastry at approximately 1,800 feet. A long climb up from sea level but wonderful going down. The organization ran two 11-kilometer and a 20-mile two up time trials during the time.
I rode stoker on the back of Mike Elson's tandem in the second 11 k one. Our speed was approximately 22.5 mph and our time was within a second of last years. I forget our actual time but this is irrelevant because 11k is an odd distance and there is no real comparison with the normal distance of 10 miles.
One particular day I let Ann have a well deserved rest from the tandem and she had a day with Laurita. I borrowed Derek's shopping bike and accompanied by Derek and a friend we did the daunting ride of climbing up the mountain past Lluc and then dropping down a narrow mountain road with numerous horseshoe bends to Sa Colbra. Named after the snake which describes the road.
The total trip was 60 miles and meant two severe mountain climbs and no flat areas at all. I had thought that my solo ride up to Marys Peak in Oregon my stiffest challenge ever, but this was more so. Only beaten by the 5,000 feet climb that Ann and I did on the tandem in Costa Rica three years ago.
Looking back I shudder to think how we ever managed it, and in the extreme heat. I must hark back to the shopping bike that I rode. Derek called it that because it has a carrier and panniers and he uses it for shopping. In actual fact it is an extremely good bike and really belongs to Laurita. Imagine her face when I called it Derek's shopping bike.
It was a great cycling holiday and having a whole month out there worked out well. We rode a shade under 1,000 miles in the month and our Tandem Two'sday behaved perfectly. Just one puncture and a little noise at times from the Sach 3 x 7 geared hub.
A liberal dose of oil seemed to do the trick and at one time I had to tighten the lock nut on the seven speed cassette.
The tandem had three different secure areas of storage. In the first hotel it was locked in the unused ladies loo underneath the swimming pool. The second hotel let me keep it in the locker room alongside wheel chairs and luggage trolleys. At the Hobby Club it was kept in our apartment which fortunately was on the ground floor. A holiday we will most certainly like to repeat.

Apollo landing site
Tack on another few megabytes of data in favor of reality.
On Tuesday, NASA released the best images yet of an Apollo landing site. They show an unprecedented view of the Apollo 12, 14, and 17 landing sites, as taken from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Of course, that won't stop some from claiming we never landed on the Moon… but those people will never be convinced anyways. For conspiracy theorists and anti-science minds, data will always be subject to their conclusions. All we can do is increase the pile of data

For assistance, she could be initiated into the Bwanga Bwa Cibola society, which used figures such as this one to offer protection through the intervention of spirits. Society members rubbed the figure daily with a mixture of oil and clay, giving it a glossy surface.
