A former member of the NFL's competition committee thinks the league should consider increasing the width of its football fields to help improve safety. Former Indianapolis Colts' vice-chairman Bill Polian said Sunday that he believes there would be fewer severe collisions if the NFL chose to increase field width from the current 160 feet to the 195 feet used in the Canadian Football League.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently refused to grant plaintiffs' request to review a Superior Court decision in December 2012 that held there is no right to a jury trial for claims brought under Pennsylvania's Unfair Trade Practice and Consumer Protection Law (UTPCPL).
In Fazio v. The Guardian Life Insurance Company, the Superior Court affirmed a bench trial verdict against the plaintiffs and agreed with several Pennsylvania trial court decisions holding that "there is no right to a jury trial for private causes of action under the UTPCPL." The Superior Court explained that "[t]he statute does not specifically enumerate that right." It also emphasized that "the UTPCPL did not merely codify common law claims of fraud. The UTPCPL created a distinct cause of action for consumer protection."
The Superior Court recently reiterated that there is no right to a jury trial in Dearmitt v. New York Life Insurance Company. Also relying on Fazio, a judge in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania recently held in Dings v. Lenhoff that there is no right to a jury trial of UTPCPL claims in federal court.
The practical effect of the Fazio decision is to reduce the settlement value of UTPCPL claims, as it eliminates the risk of a "runaway jury."

Decision to cut trees in and around Lalbagh, R.V. Road challenged
'BMRCL had not obtained permission of Tree Officer before cutting trees'
Metro project is non-polluting and is in public interest: Advocate-General
BANGALORE: The Karnataka High Court on Saturday refused to pass any interim order on public interest litigation (PIL) petitions by environmental groups that had challenged the decision of the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) to cut trees in and around Lalbagh, R.V. Road, K.R. Road and Lakshman Rao boulevard in the city.
A Division Bench comprising Justice V. Gopala Gowda and Justice Ravi B. Malimath heard petitions by Environmental Support Group (ESG), Leo Saldanha, and Hasuru Usiru against the felling of trees for the Metro project.
The petitioners said the State had not seriously examined the feasibility of taking the Metro underground in stretches which had a large number of trees. They said acquisition of buildings and felling trees could be minimised if the Metro went underground.
They said the BMRCL had not obtained permission of the Tree Officer before felling trees. Moreover, the Ordinance promulgated by the State Government to take over part of Lalbagh and Cubbon Park had lapsed.
They said there was a need to strengthen the public transport system, but this should not be at the cost of the environment.
Rebutting all these allegations, Advocate-General Uday Holla, appearing for the State and BMRCL, said trees could be replanted but fossil fuels could not be renewed. He said once the Metro became operational, it would take away eight lakh vehicles from Bangalore roads.
Metro, he said, was totally non-polluting and it was in public interest. He said BMRCL had already planted 15,000 saplings and would plant more in the coming days.
The court then sought to know why BMRCL and the State had not framed any rehabilitation scheme for persons, particularly petty shopkeepers and small businessmen, affected by the project.
It said when the BMRCL Managing Director had attended a Lok Adalat, he had refused to agree to come up with a rehabilitation scheme for those displaced or affected by the project. The Advocate-General said he would ensure that a comprehensive scheme was prepared.
The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike said the Tree Officer had been deputed by the Forest Department and that he would take a final decision on the total number of trees to be felled.
It said the Tree Officer would tag in different colours trees to be felled, pruned and saved.
The Bench, while rejecting the interim prayer for halting tree-felling, reserved orders on the petitions.

Bell stays focused on the interstate milieu, but it's difficult to believe a frame of it. His character is Alice (Emily Grace), a huffy, eye-rolling plain-Jane fool (or is Grace's acting limited to huffiness and eye-rolling?) who heads to Miami from New Hampshire with a leaf bag of clothes and a pocketful of stolen money. She doesn't get out of Pennsylvania before her car dies, allowing her to fall in with Sandra (Judith Ivey) and Bill (Bill Raymond), an RV-driving retired couple just lookin' to help out a stranger. The lollygagging way south grows slowly tense as Alice realizes that her friends are an aging parking-lot hooker and pimp, and that she's being gradually lured into whoredom herself.
The Carroll reference suggests ambitions that never materialize. Bell isn't afraid to make the few plot or character points blunt-force-trauma obviouswith fat close-ups, usuallyand he has no eye for the landscape or ear for talk. Of course, Ivey hits the turf pitching and catching dialogue like a pro, but nothing could have saved What Alice Found from a fundamental cinematic illiteracy.

Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery
Orange Park Medical Center
Orange Park Campus Office • 904.592.4940 • OrangeParkMedical.com
Board Certification & Fellowship: American Board of Thoracic Surgery; American College of Surgeons
Dr. Nathan Bates, the pioneer of robotic cardiothoracic surgery in Northeast Florida, is providing the region with cutting-edge surgical
procedures. The state-of-the-art equipment Dr. Bates uses promises to change the future of heart surgery for all.
After completing his training at Massachusetts General Hospital (Harvard Medical School) in 2007, Dr. Bates joined Jacksonville's Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgical Associates. As Medical Director of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery at Orange Park Medical Center, Dr Bates founded its cardiothoracic surgery program in December 2010 and it is the only program in Northeast Florida to be awarded the highest rating for patient outcomes by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons for three years in a row. He is board certified by the American Board of Thoracic Surgery and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
Dr. Bates performed the first robotic lung surgery in Northeast Fllorida three years ago and made history again on April 14 by performing the region's first robotic assisted mitral valve repair. Before now, patients have had to travel more than 300 miles to get this state-of-the-art, minimally invasive valve surgery. Patients seek this treatment because (compared to traditional mitral valve surgery) there is less pain, less scarring, shorter hospital stay, and a faster return to normal activities. Using the da Vinci robotic system, Dr. Bates controls the machine with his hands and feet while his surgical team monitors the patient's vitals. Bates has a clear view to the heart throughout the entire surgery. "My vision is for patients in Northeast Florida to no longer have to leave Florida to get this done," says Bates.

Equality or immorality? A weekend's LGBT moments
It was an eventful weekend: A gay football player kissed his boyfriend on national TV after being drafted by the NFL; gay marriage arrived in the Bible Belt; a bearded transvestite won one of the biggest TV song competitions in the world.
All indications of a civilization on the move — but where is it going? On a march toward equality, or a descent into a moral Wild West?
It depends on your point of view.
"It was a moment that was 45 years in the making," said Fred Sainz, a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign, referring back to the Stonewall riots of 1969 that launched the modern gay rights movement.
Sainz remembered tears falling down his face while watching Michael Sam, the 6-foot-3, 255-pound defensive end about to become the first openly gay player in America's most popular sport, embrace his boyfriend Saturday.
"I cried," he said. "Not just because Michael Sam had been selected. Just as importantly, because the networks did not shy away from covering that emotion, and his same-sex partner sharing that emotion with him. He wasn't ashamed of it. He was proud of it."
On Monday, Sainz was in Arkansas, where dozens of gay and lesbian couples married over the weekend after a judge struck down the state's ban on such unions. He recalled meeting couples who could finally marry after decades together.
'There are definitely big-time cracks appearing in that glass ceiling of equality, every single day, in ways big and small," Sainz said. "I think it's all kind of coming together."
This convergence was a result of "decades and decades of hard work," said LZ Granderson, a columnist and past winner of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association's Journalist of the Year award.
"From community activism, to national organizations, to children living in a conservative home having the courage to come out to their parents as we saw with Will Portman and his father, Rob, a Congressman from Ohio," Granderson said by email. "I know it appears as if LGBT rights have been moving swiftly, but it is not an overnight success sort of story. No civil rights movement is."
"I don't see this past weekend as a singular larger moment," Granderson said, "as much as more steps in the long journey."
Arkansas is the latest of many states where courts have ruled gay-marriage bans unconstitutional. Two years ago, President Barack Obama switched his position to favoring gay marriage. Polls have found a growing number of Americans believe same-sex unions should be legal; 58 percent were in favor of gay marriage in a March poll by the Washington Post and ABC News.
Sainz dismissed the Eurovision Song Contest victory of drag queen Conchita Wurst, a bearded man dressed as a woman, as irrelevant to the advance of gay issues in the United States. The beard was in some ways a showbiz gimmick, Sainz said.
But to Bryan Fischer, director of issue analysis for the American Family Association, it's all of a piece.

1/2 cup
thinly sliced green onions
3 cloves
garlic, minced
1 teaspoon
ground ginger
These are really a nice Asian meatball! Even my 7 year old loved them, and she's very picky. They were super liquify, I did add about 1/2 C of crushed pork rinds (lol sounds disgusting, but it's a pretty common bread crumb substitute in low carb recipes...) to bind things together. Cooked in chicken broth with ginger and green onion rather than water.
Fantastic! The only thing they need as a finishing touch is an Asian sauce. Sukiyaki sauce and peanut sauce pair nicely with these.

Global Insights: Iraq Move Highlights Progress, Obstacles for Chemical Weapons Disarmament
On Feb. 12, Iraq became the latest country to join the Chemical Weapons Convention. The country's entry was especially important in light of the widespread use of chemical weapons by former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein against his foreign and domestic enemies. Under Hussein, Iraq developed a major chemical weapons industry. During the 1980s, the regime killed thousands of people by repeatedly employing chemical weapons against both Iranian troops during the 1980-88 Iraq-Iran War and its domestic opponents, most infamously in the March 1988 mustard gas attacks on the Kurdish village of Halabja.
With Iraq's entry, the CWC (as the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction is commonly known) now has 186 State Parties, leaving only nine states as non-members. This is a remarkable achievement and a reflection of the convention's unprecedented membership growth for a major disarmament treaty. The 186 countries that have acceded to the treaty represent 98 percent of the world's population, landmass, and global chemical industry. ...

Hi from NZ
January 6, 2011#1
Hi, I live in Christchurch NZ.
I have been 90% raw for the last 4 years. I started on a high raw diet after my working life started to affect my health. I immediately felt the positive benefits. I have also done several 3 and 10 day water and juice fasts.
In the 4 years I have fallen off the wagon several times but always find my way back to raw and instantly feel great again. I am back on 100% raw and have been for the last 6 months so I am hoping to stay that way!
I am looking forward to being part of the Gone Raw community.

I have to concur guys and Chris your example is clutch, I see that it is picking up the glaze work. I'm glad machine's have not taken over the human brain anyway. Even if they come up with something perfect someday don't you think it's better to train your own eyes and brain... ?
The first time I tried it I loaded the Mona Lisa and it did a perfect trillion both eyes and her mouth, which may seem good as a focal point for a portrait...

November 5th, 2011 #246
Awesome thread - thanks very much for this!
I'm not too used to reading the plastic meaning of an image, but just to see if I'm on the right track and using the Fuchs as an example...
Are the yellow shapes of the windows that echo her dress a way of reaffirming her link to the outside in a palstic sense rather than the literal (which would be the narrative fact that they're windows rather than yellow shapes)?
November 5th, 2011 #247
It's why her dress seems to so full of sunshine - positively radiates it!
This is an effect of association and causes the yellow (which is quite dull in real terms) to feel luminous.
Remember though, that the two things (literary and plastic) are working together, mutualy supporting each other.
We are in a world where the paint IS the thing and the thing IS the paint. They mutually feed each other. So that all those painterly marks exude a response to what they represent and are not limited to decoration.
The sequence of yellows from window, to dress, to office and back out to window behind the man are a colour chord that speaks of the mood in plastic terms. Think of the way light on a yellow book behaves as clouds pass across the sun - and think of how that creates a sequence of moods in you as you watch it.

Thanks very much! This has all provided me with a far more appreciative stance on the stuff (love that Fuch's painting now I'm starting to notice those things).
Would there be any examples where the plastic meaning is contradictory to the literary meaning to provide some sort of irony? I'd assume based on what you said about them mutually feeding each other that the result would be kind of messy/nonsensical, although if irony is the intent then I would suppose that would be a form of 'marrying' the two?
November 5th, 2011 #249
You've kinda answered your own question there Mr 3000.
In the Varichev just below, the plastic expression, the marks/shapes are in accord with the nature of the subject producing a deep empathy:
In the Freud of the sleeping girl, which is a similar subject in mood, the marks are deliberately antagonistic to the nature of the subject, producing a unsettling sense of contradiction with plastic expression and subject expression. Yet somehow the account is settled because neither win out right and produce a strange dynamic balance:
November 5th, 2011 #250
Great stuff, thanks for the examples.
November 5th, 2011 #251
Chris, when you say the marks in the Freud are antagonistic to the nature of the subject, are you talking about the contrast between the girl's expression/pose and the harshness of the marks? And this is what's giving the sense of her inner mood? Just want to make sure I'm understanding that correctly.
November 5th, 2011 #252
Well, the marks aren't harsh in themselves Sidharth. They only appear harsh because we are reading them against the subject. They writhe and tumble, interrupt and contrast yet at the same time synthesise into a young girl asleep.
So we have a interaction of shapes that are 'storm like', worrisome in their wriggling together (think of heavy clouds overhead) and we have the face of a young girl.
The result is a sort of unease in stasis.
Whether that is the unease of the girl or the artist or both is not important. The subject of this picture has become 'unease' because of the duality of its plastic expression and its 'literary' subject; 'young girl asleep'.
With the Varichev there is no antagonism between subject and its plastic expression; so what we have is an accord. The reds, blacks and ochres are grouped, in their place, ordered and respectful of each other in the plastic drama.
The picture's subject is 'balance' if you like:
Two black eyes, two red ribbons poking out either side of her head, two collars... and the whole colour scheme held together by that marvelous river of white between her jacket that forks off in two tributaries, winks out at us in the highlights of her eyes and closes again as a oneness in the parting of her black hair.

Go Stream (Then Buy, as It's for Charity) David Byrne's New Live EP
No Talking Heads songs, alas, on the four-song digital EP currently streaming for free right here, but you ought buy an official download of Everything That Happens Will Happen on This Tour anyway, as a) it benefits Amnesty International, and b) in addition to three cheerful jams from the David Byrne/Brian Eno record Everything That Happens Will Happen Today ("Strange Overtones" is particularly lovely), it also includes a full-band version of "Help Me Somebody," from the last Byrne/Eno record, the sample-dominated My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, with Dave taking the barking-preacher role, which you gotta figure is second- (if not first-) nature to him by now. It's a high-quality MP3 download, no video, so you'll have to imagine the white tutus yourself.

Economic woes keep many of us awake, but you can give yourself a bedtime bailout package.
By Jeffrey Rossman, PhD, Rodale.com
Can't sleep? If you find yourself looking up at the ceiling at 3 am thinking about your financial future, know that you are not alone. A third of Americans say that they have been losing sleep over the state of the economy and personal financial concerns, according to the results of a poll released last month by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF). The economy has added to the already epidemic number of Americans experiencing sleep difficulties: 72 percent of American adults report sleeping less than 8 hours a night, up from 62 percent in 2001. And 20 percent of adults report sleeping less than 6 hours a night, up from 13 percent in 2001.
The doctor-recommended cure for stress.
Losing sleep does more than make you tired. Insufficient sleep is related to numerous cognitive, emotional, and medical conditions, including impaired concentration and anxiety, depression, obesity, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, as well as memory and immune dysfunction. Sleep deprivation is a public-safety issue as well, causing tens of thousands of car and truck accidents every year. In the recent NSF poll, 54 percent of drivers said they had driven while drowsy at least once during the past year, and 28 percent said they had nodded off or fallen asleep while driving a vehicle. When sleep-deprived subjects are brought into the lab to perform a driving simulation, they perform more poorly than intoxicated subjects.
7 Surprising ways lack of sleep affects your health.
WHAT IT MEANS: If you are one of the millions of people who are not getting the sleep you need, there are several strategies you can use to improve your sleep:
1. Stick to a schedule.
Do your best to fall sleep at about the same time each night and wake up at about the same time each morning, weekends included. Your body does best with a regular sleep-wake rhythm.
2. Stay away from food and alcohol.
Avoid eating for at least 3 hours before going to bed. Avoid drinking alcohol late in the evening. While a drink or two might relax you at first and help you fall asleep, the effect can wear off during the night, causing a rebound alertness that can wake you up and make it hard to get back to sleep.

BELLEVUE - One of Seattle s largest churches came under fire Sunday from some former members. Dozens of protesters lined the Mars Hill Church in Bellevue Sunday, furious over the actions of their lead pastor.
They re starting to question Mark. Mark Driscoll, that is, the lead pastor of the Mars Hill mega church that boasts 15 locations over 5 states with almost 15,000 members.
We feel defrauded. We feel like our church was stolen, said former pastor Robert Smith.
The frustration started back in 2007 when parishioners say Driscoll wrongly let go of pastors like Robert Smith, who questioned some of Driscoll s decisions.
It was crushing in our lives. Our whole sense of community, people that loved us and trusted us one day, hated us the next, added Smith.
Since then those frustrated said the Church they loved has radically changed. A tipping point seems to have come earlier this month. Protesters said in his Sunday sermon, Driscoll acknowledged there are disillusioned former members but said they have chosen to remain anonymous.
Those comments infuriated Heidi Strom, her husband, and six children so much, they drove from Yakima to make their voices heard
We were married in 2001 by Mark Driscoll and really enjoyed the community and fellowship there at the church. But there have been many people wounded and they do count and they re not anonymous, Strom said.
To add fuel to the flame, just this week, a blog that the pastor had written back in 2000 surfaced. The church once had an unmoderated discussion board on its website. Pastor Driscoll admits under an alias he posted vulgar rants about women.
Driscoll wasn t available to comment about Sunday s protest but did send KING5 the apology he sent out on Friday saying in part: I was wrong to respond to people the way I did, using the language I used, and I am sorry for it and remain embarrassed by it. Over the past 14 years I have changed.
And those still in his church agree.
It s sad to see that this is the way that this is going to play out. I think Christianity is all about growth and change in people and I think we ve seen growth in Pastor Mark said Pastor Anthony Ianniciello.
But those on the outside aren t buying it.
What I see is a pastor who is sorry for how he said what he said but will just say the same thing in softer and kinder tones. It s underlying everything that Mars Hill has become, said former Pastor Smith.
Smith added there are a lot of unanswered questions, even some church financial issues. They re asking for a realignment of the church leadership and a personal apology from Driscoll.

Who knew a Partridge in a Pear Tree cost so much? But it's a bargain compared to Seven Swans a-Swimming. Those babies will set you back over $7,000.
The "Twelve Days of Christmas" is not just a song; it's also a price index. (Of course it is!) Because these days everything about Christmas is calculated, codified, and assigned an index – Price Index, Consumer Confidence Index, Number of People Trampled on Black Friday Index, etc.
This year's items from the "12 Days" song would total $107,300 - which is up 6.1 percent from last year. It's a lot to spend, admittedly, but darn it all, if it's true love, well, maybe it's worth it.
Every year, PNC Wealth Management computes the cost of the twelve items. I don't know why they do this, except to remind us that Christmas will cost us all more this year than last year. Duh! I already knew that!
The fun part is that PNC has made an enchanting video that you can download and watch. The Christmas Price Index 2012 features a global interactive hunt for all the gift items, complete with travel photos and interesting financial statistics. For instance, Five Golden Rings are up 16.3 percent from last year, to $750. I knew gold was increasing in value! William Devane told me so.
Not everything went up in price. Eight Maids a-Milking cost the same as last year. I'm sure my teenaged son will be happy to hear that.
I actually preferred the Christmas Price Index 2011, and not just because the prices are lower. It's kind of a Polar Express theme, and very Christmasy. You could watch either of them with your kids, or just on your own. They are fun, but take a little time. And if there's anything that's in shorter supply than money this time of year, it's time.
Of course, the 12 Days List is not really full of great gift ideas. First of all, it's loaded with birds … calling birds, turtle doves, French hens, etc. Birds are very messy creatures. I wouldn't want to be cleaning that up on Christmas morning. But it could be a good way to preface a conversation like, "We can't afford an Xbox, and new skiis, and an iPad. You have to pick one."
The Christmas Index is very entertaining, but I'm more concerned about The Twelve Days of Fiscal Cliffness. What will that cost us? I look forward to PNC's video on that.

What would you like us to do with the funds you've selected
The £650m F&C Commercial Property Trust says the outlook for UK property remains uncertain.
By Jonathan Boyd, Editor-in-chief, Financial Express Wednesday May 19, 2010
In its interim statement the company says that despite the gains seen in the past two quarters, the outlook remains fragile in a number of key markets, including the ubiquitous West End of London.
"The pace of decline has eased and rental growth for offices in both the City and West End turned positive during the period. There are signs that incentives, although still substantial, are stabilising and void rates, whilst remaining in double digits, have moved lower."
"However, there is still pressure on the income stream and with the economy projected to see modest rates of GDP growth on consensus estimates and fiscal policy set to tighten, occupier demand is expected to remain muted, cost sensitive and lease related - dampening the scope for rental growth."
The FTSE 250 listed F&C Commercial Property Trust net asset value gained 8.1 per cent on a total return basis in the period 1 January to 19 May, according to the interim statement. Its key property is held in areas such as central London, Newbury, Solihull, Uxbridge, Rochdale and Glasgow.

"Excuse me. l'm askin' Your Honour,
is this justice? ls this justice?"
"Never stop fighting till the fight is done."
"What did you say?"
"l said, never stop fighting till the fight is done."
"You heard me, Capone. lt's over."
"You're nothin' but a lot of talk and a badge."
"Here endeth the lesson." ... I cannot believe I have to
write this because it's so obvious, but apparently, I have to take time
from my post-season nap because of all the dopey talking heads out
there, along with an incoming president who needs to spend every waking
second figuring out how to come up with 3 million new jobs, who can't
seem able to compare and contrast teams by actually turning on this
new-fangled thing called a "TV" to watch them play.
Florida is the best team in America for 2008 by every and any measure
you want to go by. Period. End of story. National champion, Florida
Gators. Done.
If you want to rail on the system, go right ahead, but your day was a
month ago when the final BCS standings came out. If you want to debate
Florida vs. the rest of the country, as the Clovers would say, bring it
This is not an anti-USC, Utah, or Texas argument, but today, and this
season, is all about Florida. And here's why ...
1. Florida played 11 bowl teams. 11, and that doesn't count Tennessee or
Arkansas. Take a step back and let that one sink in for a moment. It
beat two No. 1 teams, and outside of the loss to Ole Miss, before the
SEC championship game, no one came closer than 23 points.
2. If you're going to bring up the Ole Miss loss as evidence of
anything, you either a) didn't actually watch the game or b) are totally
incapable of putting that game in the context of the other losses out
there this season. From a blocked extra point, to two missed touchdown
passes late, to Tebow getting stopped on a fourth and inches, to a blown
coverage, several things had to happen for Florida to lose to the
eventual Cotton Bowl winner, and 15th ranked team in the final polls, by
one point. Absolutely, a loss is a loss, but it's not the indictment you
probably think it is.
3. Stop bringing up the fact that Utah beat Alabama by 11, just like
Florida. No, I don't believe Bama beats the Utes if Andre Smith was
playing, but if you can't understand how vital the No. 2 pick in the NFL
Draft and the best left tackle in college football is, and how Utah was
able to destroy the Tide offense that was down to a third string left
tackle, then I can't help you. Also, Florida beat the Tide without Percy
Harvin, arguably one of the five best players in America. If you don't
think that matters, you didn't watch the national title game.
4. Again, notice the margin of victory in the Florida games this year.
Utah needed missed kicks and an epic late drive to get by a TCU team
that Oklahoma throttled. The Utes also got pushed by a miserable
Michigan team and played three other games this year decided by seven
points or fewer, including a 13-10 tussle with New Mexico. If you think
that Florida's defense, the one that held the greatest scoring machine
in the history of college football to 14 points, couldn't deal with the
speed and precision of the Utah attack, then again, I can't help you.
5. USC couldn't handle Daryll Clark and the Penn State offense in the
second half of the Rose Bowl, so what makes you think for a split second
that it could stop Florida's offense? Don't you dare. Don't ... you
... dare ... suggest that USC's D took its foot off the gas in the
second half of that game, because then I'll have to give you a helmet
and a shiny ball of tin foil to play with over in the corner. If you try
to bring this up, then you simply have no clue about the pride of a USC
defense that wanted DESPERATELY to make an all-timer of a statement
against the Nittany Lions.
6. USC would've beaten Ohio State no matter what, but it has to keep
being brought up ... if you can't tell the difference between the Ohio
State team that battled Penn State and lost to Texas and the one that
soiled itself against the Trojans, again, can't help you. If anyone out
there actually bothered to watch the 17-10 win over Arizona, the 17-3
win over Cal, the 28-7 win over UCLA, the Oregon State loss, and also
watched the entire Florida season, and yet still wants to make a case
that USC is the best team in the country based on speed, talent, and any
other measure, then again, can't help you. If you want to thump your
chest over shutting down Arizona State, Washington State, Washington and
Notre Dame, and you want to compare that to beating 10 bowl teams and
two No. 1s including an Oklahoma offense that scored over 700 points ...
yeah. You know.
7. In deep down places you don't talk about at parties, when you watched
Texas need everything in the bag to get by Ohio State, did you really
think that this was a national title team? If the Ohio State defense
could keep the Longhorn offense in check, and if a still-emerging player
like Terrelle Pryor, who wasn't allowed to throw the ball five feet in
front of him, could get the offense moving just enough to get by, then
can you imagine what Tim Tebow, Brandon Spikes, and the motivated Gators
would've done? In the end, yeah, there's no dogging the Texas win over
OU or the Longhorn season in any way, the Texas Tech loss might be the
most forgivable big-game defeat of the regular season, but the second
best regular season win was against ... Oklahoma State? Missouri? Don't
laugh, but Rice? If the Big 12 turned out to be exposed this bowl
season, and the SEC turned out to be strong, then Florida has to be
given more than just the benefit of the doubt here.
People, it's not like I have any horse in this race. The last thing I
need in my world is yet another off-season of dealing with jazzed up SEC
fans who don't believe the rest of the country plays college football,
and I'm going to waste at least 19 days of total time in 2009 explaining
to them that teams like USC, Texas, and even Boise State, going into
next year, really are fantastic. If the shoe was on the other foot, and
USC had done what Florida had done this year, I'd be Mr. Trojan right
now (keep your comment to yourself). But for otherwise knowledgeable
media types (cough, Mel Kiper, cough) and others to claim that there
isn't a No. 1 team is absurd.
Florida won the national title. Don't like it? Then play up to your
talent level for 12 games next year, USC, and you'll get your chance to
knock the big boys off the throne. Win all your games in blowout fashion
you non-BCS team, so fartknockers like me will sit here and beat their
heads against the wall defending your case. Beat Oklahoma again next
year, Texas, and you'll get the benefit of the Big 12 doubt from
The issue was settled on the field this year. Debate over.

Ten years after the capture of Saddam Hussein, Iraq is facing an insurgent bloodbath again as al-Qaeda reclaims vast swathes of the country.
Friday's anniversary sees the country still struggling with his legacy, and al-Qaeda launching a fresh campaign of terrorist atrocities from new territory carved out in the west and north of the country.
Backed by jihadists fighting in neighbouring Syria, the group is trying to create an "emirate" straddling the two countries, taking advantage of the collapse in security across the border. Bridges on roads around four towns near the border - including Haditha and Rutba - on the Iraqi side have been dynamited, making it difficult for security forces to operate in the area.
Road signs have even been put up proclaiming it to be the turf of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, the name for the joint Syrian-Iraqi al-Qaeda franchise. Further north in the city of Mosul, another al-Qaeda stronghold, the group is boosting its war chest by raking in up to pounds 5?million a month in "tithes" from local businesses. Using its new haven as an operating base, al-Qaeda has mounted repeated strikes across the country, with an average of 68 car bombs a month this year. After a period between 2009 and 2011 in which violence waned, al-Qaeda's resurgence in the past year has led to a fresh sense of despair on the streets of Baghdad, where many young Iraqis think now only of leaving the country.
"It is not as bad as during the civil war, but whenever you leave your house, you can't be sure that you will be coming back," said Shadi Karaqzi, 23, an accountancy student smoking a shisha pipe in a central Baghdad cafe, itself the target of a car-bomb attack in 2007. "We are living in terror." His friend Ghaith Hamed, 22, added: "The wish of most young men now is just to live abroad so that they can have a normal life." In recent months, al-Qaeda's so-called "reload rate" - the time between one series of mass attacks and another - has dropped from four to six weeks to as little as a week. The death toll for 2013 has hit 7,000, with the United Nations saying that 979 died in October alone, the latest month for which figures are available.
That is roughly twice the Iraqi death rate when US forces plucked Saddam from his "spider hole" in Tikrit in December 2003, an arrest hailed at the time as spelling the end of Iraq's insurgency problems. The brunt of al-Qaeda's new onslaught is borne by Iraq's majority Shia Muslims, seen as apostates in the terrorist group's extremist Sunni Muslim vision. So far, senior Shia clerics have forbidden retaliation. But in interviews with The Daily Telegraph, Iraqi politicians and foreign diplomats have expressed fears that the sheer scale of the current onslaught is putting a strain on the willingness of Shias to turn to the other cheek.
They fear a return to the sectarian warfare of 2006-07, when up to 3,000 people a month were killed in tit-for-tat violence waged by Sunni and Shia death squads. Only last month, police found the bodies of 19 people - including a family of five - shot dead and dumped in two districts of Baghdad, one mainly Sunni, the other Shia. "Al-Qaeda is trying to return the country to the civil war era by killing Shias," said Sami al-Askary, an Iraqi MP and adviser to Nouri al-Maliki, the prime minister. "So far they have not succeeded, but nobody knows how long for. When the rage comes, you cannot expect how people will react." The current wave of violence has its roots in Iraq's own belated version of the Arab Spring a year ago, when the country's Sunni minority - who enjoyed privileged status under Saddam - began their own mass demonstrations. They complained of being treated as second class citizens by Iraq's new Shia-dominated government, alleging that they were subject to mass arrests and barred from government jobs because of pasts in Saddam's Ba'ath party. While foreign diplomats say their claims were not without foundation, they got little sympathy from Mr Maliki's government, whose followers point out that Sunnis treated Shias in exactly the same way when they were in power. Mr Maliki also feared that al-Qaeda would infiltrate the movement, a prophecy that his security forces then helped to fulfil when they violently broke up a Sunni protest in the northern town of Hawija last April. While the troops claimed they were fired on first, the deaths of some 40 Sunnis in the military's heavy-handed response proved a recruiting sergeant for al-Qaeda.
The group then scored a second major coup in July, when it staged a mass jailbreak at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison, freeing several hundred hard-core followers held on terrorism charges. The break-in at what was supposed to be the country's most impregnable jail underlined both al-Qaeda's operational sophistication and the Iraqi security forces' continued incompetence. Some 933,000 people are now enlisted in military and paramilitary police units. Yet despite having ballooned to the size it was in Saddam's time, much of the million-man army remains poorly equipped, badly trained and lacking discipline. Often it does not have the means to dominate the ground in hostile areas and since the withdrawal of US troops, there has been little in the way of intelligence sharing. Al-Qaeda's current hold on Iraq is still weaker than it was at its peak of 2004-07, when it controlled entire cities such as Ramadi and Fallujah. With elections due next April, Mr Maliki's government is making a concerted push against the terrorists on several fronts.
At a meeting in Washington last month, he is believed to have reinstated intelligence sharing agreements, which withered amid the increasing acrimony between the two governments ahead of the US pull-out in 2011. The Iraqi government is also awaiting consignments of Russian helicopter gunships, the only way in which they can currently mount surprise attacks on al-Qaeda hideouts in remote desert areas. The Daily Telegraph understands that a plan is also under way to adopt a more "hearts and minds" security strategy, moving away from the mass arrests that have helped to alienate Iraq's Sunnis. "Ahead of the elections, I understand that we will be moving to a new, more refined, intelligence-led approach," said Mouffak al-Rubaie, Iraq's former national security adviser, who still maintains close links with Mr Maliki. "Hopefully, the time for mass arrests is over."

Williams Selyem Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2012
Pinot Noir from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
The Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir aroma seems to jump from the glass with wild berry notes of alpine strawberry, blackberry, and subtle hints of blueberry and pomegranate. These fruit elements marry extremely well with the deeper bass notes and complement the oak spices and hints of grilled herbs. The palate is equally matched with a depth in complexity that rivals the aroma. The wild berry fruit profile gives way to a vibrant acidity and a wonderfully integrated tannin profile with a surprisingly delicate floral lift on the finish. The bright Sonoma Coast acidity is balanced by the velvety, rich finish. The 2012 Sonoma Coast would be the perfect accompaniment to a grilled squab or grilled saddle of rabbit.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "This shows the lovely balance of both the winery and the appellation, with a silky, lightly tannic mouthfeel brightened by plenty of acidity. The flavors are delicate and complex, suggesting wild raspberries, thyme, cranberries and toast."
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "Bright ruby-red. Mineral- and spice-accented red and dark berries on the nose and in the mouth, with a suave floral nuance coming up with air. Silky and precise initially, then more structured in the mid-palate, with a note of bitter cherry emerging. Finishes with repeating minerality, fine-grained, gripping tannins and excellent energy and length."
Williams Selyem Winery
Williams Selyem Winery began as a simple dream of two friends, Ed Selyem and Burt Williams, who pursued weekend winemaking as a hobby in 1979 in a garage in Forestville, California, and made their first commercial vintage in 1981. In less than two decades, Burt and Ed created a cult-status winery of international acclaim. Together they set a new standard for Pinot Noir winemaking in the United States, aligning Sonoma County's Russian River Valley in the firmament of the best winegrowing regions of the world. Today John and Kathe Dyson, who purchased the winery from Burt and Ed in 1998, carry on the passion for Pinot Noir winemaking without compromise. As for the wines... they just keep getting better and better. View all Williams Selyem Winery Wines
About Sonoma CountyView a map of Sonoma County wineriesRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Professionals may shop, get IDs at same time
Filipino professionals may now renew their Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) identification cards at the malls.
"They may file their applications for ID renewal and claim the IDs at the malls, at their own time and at their own convenience, sans the hassle of long queues," said Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz during Friday's simultaneous opening of the PRC ID Renewal Centers in 13 malls in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
Baldoz said the project was a public-private partnership between SM Mart Inc. and the Bureau of Treasury.
The 13 PRC ID Renewal Centers are located in the SM Mall of Asia, SM Novaliches, SM Marikina, SM Masinag, SM Manila, SM Quiapo, SM Harrison Plaza, SM Sta. Mesa and SM Sucat, and in the four SM malls in Bacoor and Dasmariñas, Cavite; Calamba, Laguna, and Lipa City, Batangas.
"The Department of Labor and Employment and all its offices, including the PRC, have always been looking for ways to improve their services to the public. Now with the PRC's ID renewal system at the malls, Filipino professionals can renew their PR IDs without having to wait in long queues," said Baldoz.
"Under this public-private partnership, the PRC is extending its services even during weekends and after government office hours, making things easier for busy Filipino professionals," she added.
The renewal centers are open seven days a week during mall hours, said PRC chairperson Teresita Manzala.
After submitting an ID application renewal, the PRC ID should be available after seven working days.

The word "contacts" is used in the form of connections or people that he's met rather than the eyesight enhancing medical device.
It's a play on words meaning through all of his connections and experiences in music, he's been able to travel and see the world doing what he loves.

Josh Hayes
continued his quest for dual titles by extending his lead in the Supersport series with a win at Infineon. The Erion Honda rider was joined on the podium by the Monster Energy Kawasakis, with
Jamie Hacking
taking second and Roger Hayden third.
Josh Hayes get one step closer to dual championships by claiming the checkers at the Infineon Supersport race.
The Supersport race on Sunday was bookended by dangerous crashes. The morning's practice was the scene of a fiery incident, with a low-side crash igniting the safety straw bales. The rider, Garret Carter, had to be dragged out as the flames spread. Medics moved quick and Carter was transported by ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital. The low-side resulted in a concussion and one-night stay in the hospital for the Yamaha privateer. In the afternoon the scheduled 17 laps were cut short with a red-flag crash.
The main event saw Roger Hayden burn out to the holeshot followed by
Josh Hayes
and Jamie Hacking. The championship-leading Hayes grabbed the lead by the end of Lap 1 with the Monster Energy Kawasakis in tow. Celtic Yamaha's Chaz Davies was fourth with Attack Kawasaki's Steve Rapp right behind.
Hayden snatched the lead back from Hayes on Lap 3 as the front five bunched together. The margin between first and fifth was less than a second on Lap 5 when Hacking passed Hayes for second. On Lap 7 Hacker managed to get around his teammate and began to check out.
At Lap 10 Hayes managed to wrestle the lead away from Hacking, but it was short-lived as the advantage was regained by the Kawasaki rider. While Steve Rapp dropped off the leaders in fifth, the top four of Hacking, Hayes, Hayden and Davies were all within a second of each other.
Hayes and Hacking swapped the lead again as the laps waned with the Erion Honda rider getting around and opening up a small gap as they approached lapped traffic.
The lappers held Hayes up on Lap 15 and Hacking seized the lead, although the Honda rider stayed within spitting distance of the Kawasaki leader. Hayes grabbed the lead once again in the carousel, just seconds before the red flag was thrown. The race was called with the red-flag incident and results were taken from the last full lap, which was Lap 14, giving Hayes the victory anyway.
"What a great race, what can I say," said Hayes on the podium of his pair of Infineon victories on the 600. "It's a great machine, everybody needs to go get themselves a Honda CBR600!"
The victory extends Hayes championship lead to 12 over Hayden. The reigning Supersport champion, Hacking, falls to 30 back with his second-place finish.

Ascodesmisites & A. malayensis invalid names
The monotypic generic name Ascodesmisites Trib., Chat. & & Verna and the species name A. malayensis (Trevedi et al., 1973) are both invalid under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. No asci are reported, the supposed antheridia and ascogonia are certainly not such structures, and the supposed conidial state appears to be that of an appressorium. Twelve years earlier Trividi and Chatuvedi (1961) described two new (fortunately unnamed) genera of fossil fungi in Taretairy coal from Malaysia, whcih are said here to be the apothecial and conidial states on one fungus.All the flaments and structures illustrated could we well be those of an alga as of a fungus.

First week on my journey back.

Sunday, September 08, 2013
Soooooooooo today I begin my second week on my journey back to healthy. I wanted to start off the week by reviewing last week and looking at things I did well and what I could have done better.
The one thing I feel like I did not do my best at this week is weights. I wanted to do a weight circuit M W F . I only did it Monday. So to correct this this week I plan on doing it Tuesday and Thursday. Since I don't have to rush off to work on those two days, I won't feel as rushed.
I was starting to think that this week was not the best week to begin my journey, I suffer from PMDD ( PMS on steroids) and the week before my TOM I am chronically exhausted and binge eat like crazy. I struggled a little with cravings this week but found that since I was eating small meals every couple hours they weren't as bad. I was tired this week and usually drug my butt to the gym with a considerable lack of enthusiasm. But I did it all 5 days. I did not let my feelings dictate my actions. I did make sure to get as much water as possible every day. I stayed within my calorie range even when we went to cracker barrel for Sunday dinner last week. They just started offering a fit menu and I ordered a breakfast choice off of that. I did not eat any fast food this week. I packed healthy snacks for work. i discovered luna bars. Peanut honey Pretzel is so very good and packed with nutrition. Great on the go snack.
The scale went up and down all week. I ended the week with a 3lb. loss. I was expecting more, but overall I was pleased with that. I ate healthy and moved more. These are the tools for lifelong change.
This week my plan is this.
1) keep getting enough water (8 cups minimum)
2) keep within my calorie range
3) hit the gym atleast 5 days this week
4) do the weight circuit tues, and Thursday.
5) incorporate more veggies into my diet this week, and greek yogurt.
log on spark eveyday.
