S. Williams beats defending champion at Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON, England Thanks to a bit of advice from her big sister and a bunch of aces from her big serve, Serena Williams is back in the Wimbledon semifinals.
With two more victories, Williams will be holding a Grand Slam trophy for the first time in two years.
The thud of racket-against-ball reverberating under the closed Centre Court roof, Williams smacked 13 aces at up to 120 mph and overpowered defending champion Petra Kvitova 6-3, 7-5 in the quarterfinals Tuesday at the All England Club.
Beforehand, Williams' father and coach, Richard, asked his other title-winning daughter to relay some suggestions.
"I went and had Venus talk to her, because Venus can get (through) to Serena better than anyone in the world. So I told Venus, `I'm not going to talk to her. You talk to her.' So Venus went and talked to her. When the match was over, I told her, `Venus: Good coaching! Good coaching!'" Dad said after snapping photos of Serena's victory from his front-row perch in the guest box above a scoreboard.
"I wanted Serena to move her feet a little bit more and to not concentrate on what the girl's doing, but concentrate exactly on what she wished to do," he continued. "And that was the only message."
Consider it delivered.
The 30-year-old Williams, bidding to become the first woman at least that age to win a major title since Martina Navratilova at Wimbledon in 1990, turned in her best performance of the tournament against her most difficult opponent. After being stretched to 9-7 and 7-5 third sets against less-accomplished women in the two previous rounds, the No. 6-seeded Williams was on top of things from the get-go against No. 4 Kvitova.
"You can't play a defending Wimbledon champion or Grand Slam champion and not elevate your game," said Williams, who produced 27 winners and only 10 unforced errors. "I had to weed out the riffraff and just get serious."
Kvitova had won 16 of her last 17 matches at Wimbledon, including 11 in a row since a loss to Williams in the 2010 semifinals. Two days later, Williams went on to win the championship - her fourth at Wimbledon, her 13th at a Grand Slam tournament and her most recent to date.
Within a week, Williams cut her feet on glass at a restaurant, leading to a series of health problems, including being hospitalized for clots in her lungs, then the removal of a pocket of blood under the skin on her stomach.
"No one tries to have ups and downs. Some things happen sometimes, and you have absolutely no control over it," said Williams, whose only first-round loss in 48 Grand Slam tournaments came at the French Open in late May. "So I think it's how you recover from that, and how you handle the downs even more than the ups can really (reveal your) character."

Federal Ministry of Finance directs non-application of recent rulings by the Federal Fiscal Court.
With its circular letter dated 12 September 2013, the Federal Ministry of Finance comments on three rulings by the Federal Fiscal Court dealing with the transfer of assets and partnership interests. According to the circular letter, the Federal Fiscal Court's rulings shall not be generally applied by the tax administration. Rather, the Federal Ministry of Finance will await the rulings of the Federal Fiscal Court in further pending cases.
The circular letter addresses the following issues:
• The Federal Fiscal Court had ruled that the transfer of an asset belonging to the so-called special business assets (Sonderbetriebsvermögen) of a partner to the assets of the partnership (Gesamthandsvermögen) against partial consideration (Teilentgelt) does not lead to a taxable realization of profits if such consideration does not exceed the book value of the asset (File No. IV R 11/12). If the partial consideration does not exceed the book value, the transfer is deemed to have been carried out without consideration.

JAMES CITY COUNTY -- An empty shoe box caused some commotion Sunday at the United States Post Office at 5219 Monticello Avenue Sunday.
Members of the James City County Fire and Police Departments, Virginia State Police, and the United States Postal Service after someone reported a suspicious package at the post office a little before noon.
James City County officers got there and found a shoe box on the counter. No one was inside the building.
Crews set up a perimeter around the post office. The on-scene Fire Marshal requested the Virginia State Police Bomb Disposal Unit respond.
A robot fired a water slug at the shoe box to disrupt any electrical or explosive material.
The box turned out to be empty. The water that the robot fired did not cause any damage inside the post office.
Emergency responders turned over the building to the Postal Inspector and post office staff, and units left at 3:24 p.m.

As has been well documented, the fear of defamation suits and related claims lead many employers to refuse to provide meaningful employment references. However, an employer who provides a negative reference concerning an employee enjoys a privilege in an ensuing defamation action if the employee has consented to the release of information concerning the employee's job performance. Thus, many attorneys now advise prospective employers to have applicants sign consent agreements, permitting the prospective employer to conduct an investigation into the applicant's work history and releasing from liability anyone who provides information about the employee's work history. The Restatement (Second) of Torts has been highly influential in shaping the development of the defense of consent in the defamation context. This Article looks at the consent defense within the context of employment reference cases. Specifically, this Article examines the consent defense as described in the Restatement from a historical perspective and argues that the authors fundamentally misstated the law in a manner that has had negative consequence for employees who have been the victims of defamatory references.

I could not taste any cinnamon flavor I had to have at least 12 pumps. Maybe it is because it is sugar free? Need to at least make it the same "strength" as the sugar version.
Love love love this syrup
Shipped super fast! Packed nicely and very affordable! I would definitely order again
I use 3-4 pumps into my morning coffee and the sweetness is perfect for my taste. I'm not diabetic, but I try to be careful when it comes to sugar and this is a great tasting sugar sub! This is one of my favs from Starbucks.
I love cinnamon, and this has a buttery-cinnamon taste that I really love. I bought one for home and one for work.
This is a bit bitter, and the cinnamon doesn't taste like real cinnamon. I will use it some, I'm sure, but it's not as anticipated.
I like trying new flavors, coffees, etc. this syrup is definitely my favorite though. It's in my daily cup & just makes each morning delicious.
Very unique product. Definitely stands out very tasty. Smooth transaction
delicious! you can taste the cinnamon in it!!no calories!!
I love this syrup. I put it in my coffee at home. I have problems getting it in the stores around here at times, so I ordered it from the website this time. What a surprise I had when I found two pumps in the box too. I wasn't expecting that, so that was great. I already had a pump but having extra ones made the purchase all the better.

As Glenn Robinson III goes, so goes Michigan
Dec 14, 2013, 3:01 PM EDT
But when he disappears, Michigan becomes an entirely different — and much more beatable — team.
For the first time this season, Glenn Robinson III showed up for Michigan.
In the first 20 minutes against No. 1 Arizona, Robinson had 16 points on 7-for-7 shooting, hitting step-back threes, scoring in transition and beating people off the dribble in the half court. He looked every bit the lottery pick that he's been projected as being since Trey Burke started throwing him alley-oops.
And it's no coincidence that, with Robinson playing like an all-american, the Wolverines were beating up on the Wildcats. Michigan took a 37-28 lead into the break, a score that was set when Robinson hit a deep, step-back triple over Aaron Gordon.
In the second half it was a different story. Robinson went back into hiding, taking just two shots from the floor in the second half — the only FG he made was an alley-oop when Arizona was short-handed as Kaleb Tarczewski lay on the floor after hurting his ankle — and scoring all of four points.
It should come as no surprise, then, that Arizona was able to scrap their way back to beat Michigan 72-70.
Much of that was a result of the Wildcats finally flexing their muscles in the paint, which was to be expected. Michigan gave up 17 offensive rebounds, but Arizona only had two second-chance points in the first half. That was bound to change. But when Arizona went big, Michigan was able to counter that by taking advantage of the matchup that Robinson has. Ashley couldn't stay with him on the perimeter. His presence, his aggressiveness, forced Arizona to go small.
But in the second half, when he disappeared, the Wildcats were able to use that bigger lineup.
And while it may seem almost too convenient, the bottom line is that this game is a microcosm of all that is going wrong with Michigan this season. Without Trey Burke, Michigan has issues on the offensive end of the floor. I wrote all about them here, after watching the Wolverines lose to Duke. Burke made everyone on that team so much better.
To make up for his absence, Michigan needs Nik Stauskas, Caris LeVert and Robinson to be just that much more aggressive. They need those three to be able to attack off the dribble, to break down defenses and create scoring chances. Derrick Walton, their freshman point guard, certainly isn't ready for that role. Spike Albrecht played great today, but he's a guy that can take advantage of defenses geared towards stopping the talent surrounding him. He's not going to be a guy that John Beilein builds his game-plan around.
Add in the struggles of Mitch McGary as he works his way into shape after an offseason back injury, and the Wolverines are essentially relying entirely on their three perimeter talents to create offense.
When Robinson is playing well, they are that much more difficult to guard.

Michigan great in first half. Coach Miller made adjustments, AZ played to its strengths in the second half, and just barely pulled it out. Fun game to watch.
- cpocraig - Dec 14, 2013 at 11:54 PM
Michigan is in for a ruff B1G conference season. I'd be surprised if they are not a bubble team come tourney time.

Arizona Cardinals
Logan Thomas has 'very, very good' debut for Arizona Cardinals
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Logan Thomas looked every bit the NFL quarterback in his first taste of game action Saturday night.
Though it was in a preseason game, and he was facing a defense made up of players who will probably struggle to make the Houston Texans, the Arizona Cardinals' fourth-round pick showed a considerable amount in his team's 32-0 win.
Playing the entire second half, Thomas completed 11-of-12 passes for 113 yards with one touchdown.
"He had a nice, calm demeanor," coach Bruce Arians said of the former Virginia Tech quarterback. "We kept with things he likes and knows. He threw some balls in there that made me hold my breath, but the guys caught them. He was very, very good."
Thomas completed passes to five different receivers, and in the process showed a good mix of athleticism in avoiding the rush, arm strength in making throws to the sideline, and accuracy that is necessary to play at this level.
It was everything everyone knew he had, along with a lot of what people were unsure about.
"I just wanted to go through my progressions, make the right reads and deliver the right passes," Thomas said of his goals entering the game. "Right now, I think I did so. Obviously film will tell a different thing or the same thing. I guess we'll just have to see then."
It's hard to imagine the film saying much bad about the performance. Thomas said this was about as good as he's played since camp began, and it's possible he's the type of player who steps up his game when the pressure is on.
"You never know until they go on," Arians said when asked if he expected Thomas to play like this under the lights of game action. "This is the beauty of preseason. People that want to get rid of preseason games don't have young quarterbacks. If they don't get preseason games, they have no chance."
Thomas, who is battling with third-year pro Ryan Lindley to be the team's third quarterback, certainly gave himself a shot with his effort Saturday, that included a mix of throws along with an impressive touchdown pass. Facing a third and four from the Houston 12, Thomas eluded the rush, stepped up in the pocket and appeared ready to tuck the ball in and run, which he's more than capable of doing. Instead, he threw the ball to Dan Buckner for a score.
"I think that's an anybody type of play," Thomas said. "I was just stepping up, saw hole to run, but I saw Buck in the back of the end zone standing alone. Just dropped it off to him."
It's the type of play the 6-foot-6, 250-pound QB is more than capable of making, and why he is such an intriguing prospect.
Thomas lasted to pick 120 in the draft because people questioned his accuracy and decision-making, though the Cardinals believed they could coach him up and fix those issues.
And if Saturday is any indication, they may be on the way to doing just that.

Actor Chunky Pandey is excited about 'Click', his first horror film
With around 60 films to his credit over the last two decades, Bollywood actor Chunky Pandey says: "The most important and invaluable lesson I've learnt in the past 20 years of being in filmdom is to never look back. I never go by past accolades or failures. There is no point dwelling on the past because each day is a new beginning."
With his film "Click" to be released this week, Chunky is super excited about his role.
He explains: '"Click' is a horror film and a first for me. People think I always had a face good enough to do films of this genre (laughs). So now I'd take that as a compliment. Mine is more like a cameo role. I play a writer of a book on paranormal activities."
Chunky adds: "My character is funny, sinister and unpredictable, quite like the typical me in real life.
The film is quite scary and will keep you at the edge of your seat so I suggest you take a friend along.
"This isn't the kind of movie you would like watching alone."
In his kitty, Chunky also has Sajid Khan's "Houseful", slated for release in April 2010. The film comprises quite a starry host of B-town actors like Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal, Ritesh Deshmukh, Deepika Padukone, Boman Irani, Lara Dutta and Jiah Khan.
Chunky will be seen playing an Indian living in Italy in "Houseful".
He says: "I even speak in an Italian accent which wasn't hard for me to pick up. I've added a bit of the Spanish accent as well and have come up with my own concoction that sounds good. I've even done these kinds of things before by mixing the Nepali and the Bengali accents in another movie of mine."
Chunky points out that "Hello Darling" which again will be out in the theatres this year, is the first film to deal with sexual harassment in Indian offices.
The actor, who has not won much adulation in India as he has in Bangladesh, also has a comedy "Khalbali hai Khalbali" coming up.
He plays Shyam Gopal Verma. Chunky is quick to clarify: "The character bears no resemblance to filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma."
Ask him what his most challenging role has been thus far and he says: "It's got to be the role of Raghav, the gangster I played in 'D' in 2005."
The "Tezaab" actor has also judged the reality show "Zara Nachke Dikha" of which he says: "It was an awesome experience. Judging the show with the vivacious and gorgeous Malaika Arora Khan was definitely a treat. Then there was Sidhu as well. It was good fun and I hope to do something of this sort after a nice long break."
Apart from acting, Chunky has been busy with the three-month-old "Elbo Room", a resto-bar he co-owns with Dino and Nicolo Morea in Bandra.

Ex-Marine captain gives others a voice
Kristen Kavanaugh of the Military Acceptance Project is a keynote speaker for San Diego Women's Week
"I think the political world needs a different voice with a different perspective," she said.
Kavanaugh will speak at the Inspiration Conference on Friday in Valley Center. From 650 to 700 women are expected. Although many of the nearly 30 women speaking at events next week hold top corporate and government positions, Rosen said the glass ceiling hasn't broken yet.
"While it's begun to crack there are still so many opportunities for women to continue to grow but they must be empowered to understand the process for getting to the top," Rosen said.

The 'executive summary' of the Shunglu Committee's report on 'city infrastructure' has stated that being a signatory to the Host City Agreement, the Delhi government in 2003 was obligated to improve road transport infrastructure to ease traffic congestion in the city ahead of the Commonwealth Games 2010.
But there was a period of inactivity from the end of 2003 to the end of 2006, and "this delay, intended or otherwise, compromised every subsequent stage of planning and execution."
"The works taken up included elevated roads, flyovers, street lighting, street-scaping, bus parking areas and bus queue shelters. However, there does not seem to have been any plan for the construction of 74 flyovers," the report said.
While the high-level committee (HLC) identified 52 city infrastructure and Games infrastructure projects executed by the Delhi government, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, and the New Delhi Municipal Corporation in all — at a cost of Rs.7,156 crore — the HLC selected only 19 projects for detailed scrutiny.
On specific projects, the report said that work on the road link from the Games Village to the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium "started very late and the project was completed in a hurry. The project was split into two packages and ultimately both packages were awarded to the same agency."
It said that the link road bypass project between Velodrome Road and Salimgarh Fort, which was delayed by 19 months, was also "split into two packages, but both packages were awarded to the same contractor. A premium of 25 per cent was paid to the contractor on labour and machinery cost due to the compressed time schedule."
On the bus parking near the stadium, the report said that as against the contracted amount of Rs.303.97 crore, the work was completed "with a saving of about Rs.7 crore," but this only "indicates that administrative approval and sanctions were given to badly prepared and ill-conceived estimates."
In 'upgradation of streetlights,' the HLC said that "for unexplained reasons, a restricted tendering system was adopted." While administrative approval was given for a total sum of Rs. 465 crore, the "unknown practice of involving a luminaire manufacturer as the leading partner was introduced, and a provision was made for fixing only imported luminaire on certain stretches."
It pointed out that "successful parties imported luminaire at a much lower price than quoted and cited in the tender bid."
While the Delhi government also prided itself on taking up the street-scaping work, the HLC said that "unrealistically high estimates were prepared, and even then there were large variations in the estimated and actual quantities. There are serious reservations about the surfaces used for the footpaths and strong doubts about the quality of work executed."
It also found the horticulture intervention to be of temporary nature "as many plants had already withered."
On the signages installed by the Public Works Department (PWD) and the New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC), the report said: "The high cost of sheets was justified on grounds of the long life and low maintenance cost. However, the installed signages are already getting worn out in the NDMC area."
The report said that "four contractors captured 60 per cent of the PWD work by value, on their terms, to the detriment of economy and efficiency."
It also remarked that "it is likely that the conduct of key members of the Works Advisory Board, including its chairman, was complicit in causing 'undue gain' to contractors."

It is 6 o'clock ..the ant from the tip of the clock's half foot Hour-hand must travel home to12 o'clock mark under the tip of 1ft Second-hand.
The clocks Minute hand is 9 inches.
The ant travels 1ft/min along the hands without stopping and reverses its direction when reaching the pivot end or the tip of the hands .
It can shift to any hand that is directly above or below it while resuming direction.
How long shall it take for the ant to arrive home?

Assuming the ant must travel on hands, I understand the ant has to:
a) wait for the Minute hand
b) switch to the Minute hand
c) walk to the end of the Minute hand
d) wait till the Minute hand reaches 12
which should happen at 7 o'clock.

@ harey : yes all clocks hands are moving..but cant reach home via minute hand..
@nins: it must walk more than 6 in along hour hand ..to shift to the second hand..

I must be missing something then. If the clock starts at exactly 6 then in approx 30 seconds the second hand would overlap the hour hand. In that time the ant will travel 6 inches, the length of the hour hand. Yes there will be ever so slightly more than 30 seconds for this overlap to occur, but that fractional increase is irrelevant.
@ harey : yes all clocks hands are moving..but cant reach home via minute hand..
@nins: it must walk more than 6 in along hour hand ..to shift to the second hand..

Spoiler for3 minutes. Ant walks 6 inches to the base of the hour hand and switches to the second hand when it has the chance. He will have switched direction moving up the second hand, but can switch to the minute hand when the second hand overlaps it (approx 6 inches up it). He then walks up and back down the minute hand switching back onto the second hand as he is turning around to move back up the minute hand. After walking to the tip of the second hand he will have traveled 36 inches exactly meaning he is at the 12 and reached his home.
Yes 3 minutes is correct..ant walks on the hour hand for 30.0417secs,
then walks on the second hand for 30.9752 secs,
then walks on the minute hand 61.0169 secs,
then walks again on the second hand 57.9661secs..

Thank you for our great stay at your lovely, well-equipped house.
We felt really welcome and were very comfortable.
Monkstown certainly is a special village, having so many nice restaurants and other amenities, the sea and lots of transport stops.
We hope that we might stay again at some future time, if we are in Dublin.
This perfectly equipped house with a nice little garden enables you to enjoy the beauty of the Irish coast as well as the buzz of Dublin. The owner is gentle and helpful and provided any kind of information prior to our arrival. Monkstown is small, but we found everything we needed just a few steps away from the house: the seaside, DART-station, very good restaurants and nice groceries. We will definitely try to book again soon.
The house is beautifully presented with a few personal touches, very comfy beds, great power shower, absolutely perfect place to stay situated on a small quiet private estate yet within walking distance to the best restaurants and coffee shops, a couple a good pubs too. The Dart train and buses are a few minutes away much better than driving into the city. Pat the owner of this lovely house is great and very helpful. 5 Star holiday home for a great price, Perfect!
Location of this property is excellent, situated in quiet cul-de-sac, convenient to local shops, coffee shops, restaurants, and Dart railway. House is extremely comfortable with all facilities that makes it a real home from home, great attention to detail including good quality bed linen and tableware, the list could go on! Pat, owner was more than helpful and very accommodating. We had a wonderful week and hope to return again in the future.
Nous recommandons vraiment cette location. Très bien placée, proche du Dart, le quartier est très calme et les magasins proches. La maison est confortable et tout est pensé pour que le séjour soit vraiment agréable.Pat nous a accueilli de façon très chaleureuse.
We stayed at the Monkstown townhouse for five weeks August and September. The house was great. Spotlessly clean and equipped with every thing you could possibly need for your stay. Nice little garden to have coffee in. Pat was wonderfully helpful when we needed something and gave us privacy when we did not. Nice friendly neighbors..
The location is great, close to the Dart, buses, the sea front. If you feel like walking along the seafront Blackrock and Dun Laoghaire are close by. Farmers market in Dun Laoghaire on Sundays worth a visit. We frequented several restaurants nearby. FXB The Bar , Fresh Salt at Avoca. And Seapoint restaurant.
This was so much better than staying in a hotel for five weeks. An added bonus (washer/dryer).
A very good experience. We will be back another time. We will definitely recommend it to friends.
Thanks for the great weather Pat, only one rainy week out of the five the rest was glorious. Not sure how you organised that for us!!
The house was very nice, clean and confortable, very close to transport services to Dublin city (bus and DART) close
to the shops and pubs of Monkstown village
Patricia welcomed us so cheerfully, everything was prepared
in advance with little attentions such coffee, milk and sweets
at our arrival, house provided bed linen and towels which
was very convenient for us arriving by plane
we had a great and SUNNY week, Dublin is very worth
visiting and the WICKLOW moutains amazing ! The little
garden at the back of the house was very pleasant to rest
after our visits and walks and we appreciated the seaside
Many thanks to our hostess, we will recommend this place to our friends travelling to Dublin in the next future

Last week I brought you a small tidbit of rumors that Russell Wilson, the 3 year starter at NC State may be interested in coming to Wisconsin. Well those rumors just won't die and I think it's a great time to address this issue more in depth and give you my straight up opinion on the situation.
Mr. Wilson is available to us thanks to the fact that he is playing minor league baseball for the Colorado Rockies and NC State happens to have a really highly regarded QB coming in. So they granted him his release and because he already graduated he can play immediately for whatever team he goes to this fall. Before giving you the run down on why this is or isn't a good idea for Bucky I'm guessing that most of you have never heard of Russell Wilson since ACC football isn't exactly a hot topic in Big Ten Country. Russell was a 3 year starter at NC State amassing some amazing stats with the Wolfpack. His 3 year totals include throwing for over 8,500 yards, 76 passing TD's, and hitting on 58% of his passes. He also added over 1,000 yards rushing and 17TD's on the ground.
I don't care who you are or what your competition level was those numbers are very impressive. As you'll see in the video below this guy is a highlight reel QB who can change games. O.k., so with that said why in the world are we talking about him coming to Wisconsin? Well, frankly the QB stable the Badgers have are very young with only Jon Budmayr having any college game experience and frankly that wasn't all that impressive. So here we sit in May and the rumors started around ESPN last week with little buzz in Wisconsin. This wee however those rumors have finally been substantiated here in Wisconsin thanks to the confirmation of contact from Russell Wilson to Wisconsin. All indications I have are that the conversation was to gauge the level of interest on both sides and see if it could be a fit and nothing more at this point, but it's a start right?
This potential move has a huge upside and an equally dangerous downside to it for Wisconsin football. I suppose I'll give you the downside first. Yes, Wilson is a very talented player and all, but he would just be a one year rental. When's the last time you saw Wisconsin go after the "stop gap" type player just to fill a "need"(I use that term lightly)? I also worry about what kind of a message that would send to a very young but talented crop of QB's that the Badgers spent all Spring developing. Bringing in Wilson at the last moment could be akin to pulling the rug out from underneath the group and could lead to a massive dip in confidence. We are talking about 18-20 year olds here and dealing with adversity isn't something most of them have had to experience on a massive level like this. Equally worrisome to me is the fact that he wouldn't be available until August at the earliest, putting him behind in learning the playbook and developing a relationship with a very young WR core. Additionally you have to wonder about anyone that a school was willing to just give up on like NC State did. It's not as if he was some shlub 4th string QB, we're talking about an all-ACC caliber QB and those aren't easy to come by. Could it be that he was a bit of distraction in the locker room or they simply were ready to move on to someone totally committed to football?
On the positive side is that Wilson is at a level far and away superior to what is currently on the Badgers roster. He clearly has what it takes to play the position and any transition that he may need to make in terminology/playbook could be made up for by his sheer talent to start the year. He is a game changer with his arm and his feet, something that no QB on the roster has proven to be at this point. Not only that but no other QB in the ACC threw for more TD's in the past 3 seasons than Wilson, not even recent 1st round NFL pick Christian Ponder (why the Vikings even Pondered Ponder is beyond me... Thanks 107.5 The Fan for that horribly funny pun) If he is committed to the Badgers program and can fit in the locker room this guy could be the difference between a 2nd place division finish and a Big Ten Championship with all the talent that is already around him on the offensive side of the ball.
In the end the more and more I think about this issue I tend to see the positives outweigh the negatives and here's why: You bet it's a risk and it's only for one year, but you have to ask yourself can this guy help this team and the answer is a resounding YES! The Big Ten landscape is changing with the new 12 team, 2 division format and if we have visions of being one of the teams that can assert some control in this new era this move would help that. Wisconsin could put ourselves in the mix to be favorites to win the Big Ten if we were to get Wilson and keep ourselves in the national spotlight for more than just a season, something this program has failed to do(think of the Allan Evridge debacle). I have to think he's salivating at the thought of playing behind the Badgers offensive line as well, one that can give him the time needed to use his arm and feet. The other thing no one has really mentioned in this whole scenario is do the Badgers see incoming QB Bart Houston as someone that can come in and start right away as a Freshman? If so then there is zero harm in bringing Wilson on board because any "psyche" damage that may be done to Budmayr,Breenan, or Stave would be temporary at best.
With all that being said this may end up being all speculation and he could end up not being a fit for the Badgers, but from time to time it's nice to think of what could be. We also have to consider the SEC a equally possible landing spot for Wilson, so let's not get our hopes up to high. If this ends up in the Badgers favor 2011 is going to be a much different year than anyone pictured coming out of Spring Football. Look for me to keep you updated on any and all information as it becomes available, but until then.... ON WISCONSIN!!!

KSRTC and BMTC United Employees Union on Tuesday urged the government not to accept proposals by State road transport corporations to increase bus fare in view of the hike in diesel price.
Union general secretary John D'Souza has, in a release in Bangalore, said that the transport corporations have the lowest bus-staff ratio (about 1:5) compared to the transport corporations elsewhere (about 1:7).
Through this, the transport corporations have been saving a lot on employees salary even as they are forcing the staff to overwork, Mr. D'Souza said.

3 systems causing all this rain
MANILA, Philippines—With three weather systems hovering around the country, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) is expecting a rainy week for Luzon and parts of the Visayas.
Tropical Depression "Odette," which has become the prevalent weather system, is anticipated to continue to enhance the southwest monsoon, locally known as "hanging habagat."
The southwest monsoon will bring on Tuesday moderate to occasionally heavy rains over the western sections of Central and southern Luzon, including the National Capital Region.
Metro Manila, Central Luzon and the Calabarzon region, as well as Occidental Mindoro, are expected to experience cloudy skies with moderate to heavy rains and thunderstorms. Pagasa alerted residents in the areas to the possibility of flashfloods and landslides.
Forecaster Samuel Duran told the Inquirer that apart from Odette, there are two other potential cyclones hovering within and just outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR). "One LPA is over the West Philippine Sea and the other is over the Pacific Ocean," Duran said.
He said Typhoon "Man-Yi," which hit Japan Monday, ceased its enhancement of the southwest monsoon once the LPA east of Casiguran, Aurora, developed into a tropical cyclone. "The two LPAs could also develop into tropical cyclones as long as they are over the ocean, but they are still too far away to have any effect on the southwest monsoon," he said.
"Based on our assessment, the current weather conditions could prevail until the end of the week—on Saturday or Sunday—when Odette is expected to exit the PAR," the forecaster said, referring to moderate to heavy rains in portions of Luzon.—Jeannette I. Andrade

Obama, Romney clash over foreign policy
Obama's campaign launched a television ad in Florida that said the president ended the war in Iraq and has a plan to do the same in Afghanistan, accusing Romney of opposing him on both. It was not clear how often the ad would air, given the fall's overall focus on the economy.
Vice President Joe Biden, campaigning in Canton, Ohio, emphasized differences between the two candidates on the war in Afghanistan.
"We will leave Afghanistan in 2014, period. They say it depends," he said. "Ladies and gentlemen, like everything with them, it depends. It depends on what day you find these guys."
Romney's running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, was in Colorado. "We are in the midst of deciding the kind of country we're going to be, the kind of people we're going to be, for a generation," he said.
Whatever the outcome of the final face-to-face confrontation, the debates have left an imprint on the race. Romney was widely judged the winner of the first debate over a listless president on Oct. 3, and he has risen in polls in the days since. Obama was much more energetic in the second.
Monday night marked the third time in less than a week that the president and his challenger shared a stage, following the feisty 90-minute town-hall-style meeting last Tuesday on Long Island and a white-tie charity dinner two night later where gracious compliments flowed and barbs dipped in humor flew.
At the Al Smith charity dinner, Obama previewed his all-purpose fallback to criticism on international affairs.
"Spoiler alert: We got bin Laden," he said, a reminder of the signature foreign policy triumph of his term, the death at the hand of U.S. special operations forces of the mastermind behind the terror attacks on the United States more than a decade ago.
The president and his challenger agreed long ago to devote one of their three debates to foreign policy, even though opinion polls show voters care most about economic concerns.
Growth has been slow and unemployment high across Obama's tenure in the White House. Romney, a wealthy former businessman, cites his experience as evidence he will put in place policies that can revive the economy.
In recent weeks, the former Massachusetts governor has stepped up his criticism of the president's handling of international matters, although his campaign hasn't spent any of its television advertising budget on commercials on the subject.
In a speech earlier this month, Romney accused the president of an absence of strong leadership in the Middle East, where popular revolutions have swept away autocratic regimes in Egypt and elsewhere in the past two years. He has also accused Obama of failing to support Israel strongly enough, of failing to make it clear that Iran will not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and of backing cuts in the defense budget that would harm military readiness.
Yet Romney has stumbled several times in attempting to establish his own credentials.
He offended the British when he traveled to England this summer and made comments viewed as critical of their preparation for the Olympic Games.
Democrats pounced when he failed to mention the U.S. troops in Afghanistan or Iraq during his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in late August, and officials in both parties were critical of his comments about the attack in Benghazi while the facts were unknown.
Espo reported from Washington.

Philadelphia Hammer Attack: Would you have stepped in?
Warrant out in Philadelphia subway hammer attack
PHILADELPHIA (AP) _ Philadelphia have an arrest warrant for a patient in a mental hospital suspected of attacking a stranger on the subway with a hammer.
The suspect was not immediately charged in the attack, which took place on the Broad Street Subway just after midnight on Thursday.
Surveillance video shows the attacker boarding the subway with a young child about 5 years old. Detective Kenneth Roach says it appears that the man kissed the child, then told him to sit down.
After that, the man reached into a backpack he was carrying, pulled out a hammer and began attacking another man who was sitting nearby and dozing off.
The attack spilled onto the subway platform and lasted for several minutes. The victim has been released from a hospital.
# # # #
In one of the newspaper accounts, a cop expressed disgust that no one stepped in to help. So I ask you: Do you think you would have tried to stop this attack on a stranger if you were there? Why or why not? I like to think I would have, but I'm not sure...

It's easy to say I would step in and try to stop the guy...but when the time actually comes...I really have no idea. For now though, I think I'd try.

I don't know if I'd go Rambo and charge straight at the guy on my own, but I'd definitely be looking for something to smack him on the back of the head with (even just in case he came for me next), and trying to rouse some of the crowd into helping. If I was running, I'd be running for help, not just to save my own ass.
There was one guy in that vid who was almost nonchalant... Panicking in the face of violence is forgiveable, but standing there watching a guy get beat with a fucking hammer and doing nothing at all is terrible.

Everyone would LIKE to say they would. But people are sheep. Plain and simple. Sheep. I hope the people on this video live a long life. A long life so they reflect on thier cowardice. Sure - I'm sure in the version of the story that they tell to family and friends it will include all sorts of "reasons" not to get involved. Perhaps in time they will even begin to believe those "reasons". But in thier hearts they know they are cowards.
And that is the truth of it.

Style: Muay Thai (beginner)--
kinda off topic but it seems that the man must have some relation to the victim, whether it be an old grudge or past wrong. The guys doesn't seem to be apprehensive or anything, he looks calm and the attack, to me looks pre meditated. People just dont go around randomly hitting people in the head with f*cking hammers.
I feel bad for the kid though, definatley not good lessons to be learned at such a young age.
As far as doing something, its been said on this website before, but tha phenomena i beleive is called the diffusion of responsibility, where the impulse to act in that situation is quantitavely (sp?) divided amongst the people that were there.
I'd love to say yeah I would help him, but in all honesty I prolly wouldn't do jack **** until someone ELSE did something. Hence, the phenomena manifests itself. Any thoughts or opinions?

Though I cannot help but think, from that video, that the asshole was giving up his back -- anyone could have hit him in the back of the head, got him in a choke or a full nelson, or hell, waved someone else over -- taken that much initiative -- and grabbed his arms. When it comes to the inaction of bystanders, I have much more understanding for the people on the Greyhound bus than the ones on that train.

From Rachel Nania. Check out her blog, Sear, Simmer & Stir. Follow Nania on Twitter @rnania, email her at rachel[AT]borderstan.com.
The deadline for filing to run in the race for an Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) seat is rapidly approaching, and this past weekend, one local resident announced his candidacy for the 2B-09 seat in Dupont Circle.
Noah Smith, who currently serves as a public safety liaison for ANC 2B, is running in the local election for the first time. Ramon Estrada, the five-term ANC incumbent for seat 2B-09, has not confirmed his plans to run in the November 6 election; he had not picked up nominating petitions as of Monday.
Smith, who describes himself as having "a passion for public service," believes that one of the most important roles of an ANC Commissioner is to be an advocate for residents when dealing with the DC government.
"I hope to serve as a liaison between the alphabet soup of government agencies and my neighbors to bring critical information to our community faster and to help address concerns sooner," said Smith, who has lived in DC for seven years and in the Dupont neighborhood for a year-and-a-half.
Smith is a volunteer EMT and a Federal highway safety official, and hopes to bring his experience in public safety to neighborhood government.
"I am running for ANC to build on my past work to improve the safety of our neighborhood's roads, including for pedestrians and bicyclists, and to foster a collaborative approach to problem solving," said Smith.
Smith is also campaigning on neighborhood development, promising to balance the (often times) delicate relationships between neighbors and businesses and work to find collaborative solutions that meet the needs of the community.
The area for ANC 2B-09 encompasses S Street, 17th Street, New Hampshire Avenue, U Street and 14th Street.
The deadline for filing to run for an ANC seat is Wednesday, August 8. Elections for ANC positions are on the November 6 ballot and are non-partisan. 300 seats throughout the city are up for reelection this year. Commissioners elected into the ANC will serve for two years.

Loveless-Complete (2009)
Learn more about Loveless-Complete:
|Ritsuka's innocent childhood days came to a bloody end when he lost the one person who understood him. His brother Seimei was always his guiding star, and without him Ritsuka was lost. The enigmatic Soubi appeared to change all that. Soubi was once partner with Seimei, a sacrifice who gave his energy so Soubi could fight. Now Soubi has come to Seimei looking for a new partner. Will Ritsuka find happiness chained to Soubi?
Editor's NoteTwelve-year-old Ritsuka Aoyagi lost his only family when his big brother, Seimei, died, and what's worse, the circumstances surrounding the death were quite mysterious. Things only get more mysterious, however, when Soubi shows up--he claims that he and Seimei were fighting partners, and while he was the "Fighting Machine," Seimei was the "Sacrifice." Now, the charming Soubi expects Ritsuka to take his brother's place. This may sound like a dangerous arrangement for a 12-year-old boy, but Ritsuka is determined to investigate his brother's death, and so he agrees. This collection contains the complete anime series.
Customer Reviews of Loveless-Complete
A boy enters his sixth grade class room to be greeted by his teacher with that scene you see that this boy is greatly independent. He instantly develops his first fan girl yukio(just first off I want to apologize I'm American and I also have horrible spelling. So I will butcher these names.) She falls for him instantly...He being in sixth grade and disliking making friends, He could care less that she likes him. When leaving school the teacher confronts them and expresses her concern for him and he acts nonchalant and runs off. He meets an adult who grabs him by the arm and forces an conversation(gently forces) within that converstation he confesses that he was friends with the boys brother. The sixth grade boy ritzuka's brother seimi was murdered. So naturally the boy is taken with this stranger. He goes off with the adult to make memories(taking photos). While taking photos they bring the story line in about the fighters and sacrifices also with the fighters names. The strangers name is soubi(which I can spell ^^) His code name is beloved who was seimi's fighter unit, and seimi was soubi's sacrifice. Sacrifices and fighters basically are this. A fighter uses words to cast spells such as "rip" "tear" and even as complex as "retreat as birds carried off...." The spells are enchanting to hear and the art that follows the spells are wonderful. And sacrifices take the damage for the fighter unit. When they are hurt they are restricted to some extent, arms chained down, collars chaining the victims. When they are completely restricted they lose.

I get this new number calling me and on my Caller ID they use the IPSOS and I thought they collection callers change their number and name. My phone is unlisted under Comcast so I really love to know how they get my number. I guess I'll have to call Comcast up.
All Comments (3)
Caller: IPSOS
Caller ID identifies this caller as Synovate (22 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 350, Chicago, IL 60606) a market research firm. It may be that "market research" is exempt from the Do Not Call Registry, but I doubt it. And although we have a NYC 212 number, it's Vonage and it rings at our present home in Europe and we don't like being awakened in the middle of the night with some stupid market research call. And even less being called back repeatedly, day after day, when we told them the first time we are in Europe and do not wish to talk to them.

Because back in the day: raids = large group content.If people (in general) are only prepared to run 25 man if they get bribed to do so even if they prefer 25 man to the alternative, why have 25 man raiding in the game?
IF you ask me: the introduction of 10 mans was a big mistake. It was sorta o.k. in TBC but even then the transition from Kara -> Gruul/Mag was an dead end barrier for many guilds.
ZA being 10man also created unnecessary drama, peeps bitchin about being left out etc.
If Kara & ZA had been 25man raids, and 10mans were never introduced, we all would have a lot less problems.

Yahoo Suing NFL Over Fantasy Football Rights
Yahoo Inc. is suing the NFL Players Association, insisting that they should not have to pay additional royalties to use players' statistics and likenesses in fantasy football games because the information is publicly accessible.
The federal lawsuit was filed on Monday in Minneapolis.
The suit says that Yahoo was being threatened if it did not compensate for the data. Even though their licensing agreement with NFL Players Inc. ended March 1, Yahoo feels they don't need authorization, thanks to a court decision made in April in a comparable quarrel between NFL Players Inc. and CBS Interactive Inc.
The online game allows players to create teams made of real players. During the football season, participants' monitor their players' data to evaluate how their team is doing. The judge's ruling in the CBS Interactive case said that 13 million to 15 million people play the game that grosses about $1 billion annually.
Yahoo's lawsuit wants the decision that its game does not break any publicity owned or restricted by NFL Players Inc. rules, and that the First Amendment and federal copyright law trumps this nonetheless. It also wants to stop NFL Players Inc. from prying into Yahoo's businesses, from threatening to sue, or sending statements that Yahoo is stepping on the rights of NFL Players Inc.
NFL Players Association spokesman Carl Francis said they had no comment.
The Major League Baseball Players Association and Major League Baseball Advanced Media did not win a comparable 2007 suit when the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided that the fantasy baseball business CBC Distribution and Marketing Inc. did not have to compensate the players, even it used their names and data for profits.
