Capital Construction: Allsopp for 2011?
De la mano de Allsopp, autor de un doblete, el United ganó su primer partido con Olsen como DT.
WASHINGTON — As any frustrated local driver will tell you, the streets and roads of the Washington, D.C., region have been awash with construction and renovation crews lately.
Many long-neglected infrastructure projects deemed "shovel-ready" have received funding from TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) grants and other elements of the federal government's economic recovery plan. The resulting traffic disruption invokes short-term pain, but it's a modest price for a more effective transportation network in the future.
US referee chief addresses Olsen-Kinnear ejections
Ben Olsen and Dominic Kinnear seek each other out after the Julius James foul in the 89th minute
NEW YORK – A handshake between coaches that led to a double ejection and a penalty kick call reversal represented the most controversial calls of the last MLS weekend.
US Soccer Director of Referee Development, Paul Tamberino, addressed both incidents with MLSsoccer.com and revealed the rationale behind the rulings on the field.
Kinnear-Olsen Red Cards
24 Under 24: Counting down to No. 16
The countdown of the 24 Under 24 – the top 24 players under the age of 24 -- continues with players ranked No. 16 through No. 20. The list goes international today with two Canadians, a Brazilian, a Cameroonian and just one American.
Real Salt Lake's Will Johnson (No. 20) and the Galaxy's Juninho (No. 19) are two of the most experienced players on the entire list, both having played overseas in the Dutch and Brazilian leagues respectively.
Q&A: D.C. United's Clyde Simms
After earning the title of "iron man" at DC, Clyde Simms has been hounded by injuries in 2010.
WASHINGTON – After establishing himself as the club's first-choice defensive midfielder in 2007, Clyde Simms became a near-constant presence in the D.C. United lineup, logging a remarkable 6,836 total minutes over two seasons to cement his reputation as the club's "iron man."
But 2010 has been a very different story. The Jamestown, N.C., native has been hounded by a variety of health problems ever since preseason, routinely robbing the Black-and-Red of a pivotal presence in the heart of their squad.
US Bid Committee confident ahead of FIFA vote
Last week, FIFA inspectors completed their visit to Qatar, the final stop on a globe-spanning tour of the nine bidders vying to host either the 2018 or 2022 World Cup.
The Middle East nation's chances took a hit when Harold Mayne-Nicholls, head of the inspection team, said the bid presented "a number of logistical challenges," but a surprise appearance by Zinedine Zidane impressed FIFA. The French legend passionately argued that it was time for a nation in the region to host the World Cup.
24 Under 24: First names are revealed
Olsen, D.C. United change up their routine
''There are expectations here that are different than other places,'' interim head coach Ben Olsen said.
WASHINGTON — Ben Olsen has been D.C. United's interim head coach for less than two months, but he's already learned a few tricks of the trade—like avoiding the media in the days after a tough loss.
Citing the suspension he incurred in Saturday night's 3-1 loss to Houston, Olsen took a rain check, so to speak, on answering questions after a rare Monday training session this week.
Power Rankings: Week 26
Despite a hairy 1-1 draw at home against Colorado, Real Salt Lake is atop the Power Rankings again this week, with streaking FC Dallas following close behind. The Red Bulls, meanwhile, jump over LA with a win on the left coast, and San Jose make their move up to No. 6.
Andy Najar superlatives
Vote for Andy!
MLS Thermometer: LA show warmth, Fire still cold
Despite loss to New York, there is still life left in still league-leader Los Angeles.
The horror! The horror! The season is over for the LA Galaxy after a 2-0 loss to New York on Friday night at the Home Depot Center. All is lost! Oh, the humanity!
Well … no. Not actually. The Thermometer is back for another week, and a quick check of the temperature in Los Angeles indicates there is still life after Red Bulls.
Oh yeah, and the rest of the league took the field on Saturday in what was actually a much more dramatic match day. Which teams have playoff fever, and which teams have caught a chill?
We'll Take That Back, Thank You

Are custom colors available? What is the support question response time?
Hi, inside options panel you are able to change colors and background colors using color picker and also custom css option is available where you can add your own styles without going in to the style.css. Support is just in case some technical problem and the response is normaly inside 24h. In case of custom work we offer support but isn't free. As you know on TF support isn't mandatory but we gladly help if something small is or some technical problem with the theme.
Cheers, Ana
alos is dummy content available?
Yes, dummy content is available
Wow..First off, GREAT theme. Very versatile and intuitive! I am having one issue where I cannot get the Image to show up for the food menu. The categories list show up but the image does not. I have tried multiple images. Any ideas? www.bob-mccord.com/temp testing the theme out before i publish it. Thanks in advance. I LOVE IT!
first thanks for purchasing this theme, glad you like it . Just go to the "Appearance – Widgets – Food Menu Second Layout Image Widget " and drag the "Anariel Custom Image Widget" inside.Also if you will not have "read more" button on food menu items (like now), you can pull down prices (green boxes) by adding inside "options panel – styling – custom style":
h4.price { margin-top: -20px; }
Let me know if that helped you.
Cheers, Ana
Thanks Ana. I got it fixed. Cheers, Bob
Hi Ana, is there a way to center the company logo at the top?
.logo img { display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }
Cheers, Ana
Hello anariel7. I just purchased the theme and am trying to build my site. I have a question regarding the color of the theme. When ever you click on Home or About for example, it turns GREEN, and there some text that are green too. How can I change their color to something else , a color of my choice? Thanks,
Hi Jangal2012,
thanks for purchasing this theme. You'll need to go to the "Appearance – Theme Options – Styling" and there find the "All text elements with #6ea665 color" and change it with color picker to the color you want and save it, this will change all green text color on the site with the color you want. This way you can change other part, backgrounds…. Also you have option custom css where you can add your own style without going in to the style.css
p.s. please note, before you start using the Theme Options, click on button "Options Reset" and than start changing things and saving…. We wrote about it inside help files
Cheers, Ana

I didnt find the business card zip file ?? Is it there
Hi, thanks for buying this theme. Please contact us via contact form about this. We are not able to include bundle things here on TF with download files. If you'll need it you can contact us via contact form and we will gladly help out.
Cheers, Ana
Two questions:
1) I've created a page for testimonials and would like to add a sidebar to it. I've followed the instructions at the bottom of the page and the sidebar simply won't show up :-/
2) For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get the little text below the menu header changed. I can't find where it's located.
thanks for purchasing this theme. Sidebar can be added just on the pages where sidebars are defined. That means, you can't add the sidebar on the page where i didn't put inside codes sidebar for it or you can if you now code it. Sidebar generator is to have for example different sidebar content on different posts, for example each blog post can have different sidebar content and not the same one. You can use for the testimonial page, template that has built in sidebar and than you can change it with yours via sidebar generator. That means you can use for example template that is in use for the contact page because this template has sidebar.
2. Do you think on the part "Cooky – WordPress theme for food lovers …" if yes than you will find this inside Widgets – Home Intro Box Widget Area
Hope this will help you out.
Cheers, Ana
Apologies, but I'm really confused by everything you said.
So on a certain page I cannot put a sidebar? That doesn't seem to make much sense.
As for the second question- you may have misunderstood my question. On the menu items, there is subtext underneath. For instance where it says "FOOD MENU", it says "Delicious menu" underneath. Where do I change the "Delicious menu" text???
I tried changing the "testimonials" template to the Contact one but it still will not show a sidebar for me on that page :-/
Actually, it finally did add the sidebar but NOW there's a contact form on the testimonials page. Is there another template that will give me a sidebar?
Hi about the menu description, please read first inside help files – menu.html file, we wrote everything about it there, there is also included screenshots about it.
Thanks, I got that one figured out! Still having problems with the sidebar issue :
/ It's strange that I only can use the contact template to get a sidebar since that automatically brings in a contact form.
About the sidebars, it makes sense that you can't put the sidebar on whatever page you want because it isn't coded for each page you imagine. The theme works as it is in live preview, that means where you see the sidebar inside live preview there is place made for it. With the sidebar generator, you can create the new one and add the content on your own and replace the original one with it. This is useful if you want to have for example different sidebars on different posts. You can create 100 different sidebars for 100 different posts and than inside post you can switch the sidebar that is per default with the theme with the sidebar you created.
Pages are like they are inside live preview, you have a lot of options with them, also food menu template has a sidebar, about page also has on top, three widgetized sidebars (left, center and right) so maybe some of this template will be in use for your own one. Or you can use page builder plugin and create the pages whatever you want (you can use page template for it). You have lot of options that you can use for your own pages if you don't want to use this from live preview. All instruction about each sidebar you'll find inside help files and a lot more.
Cheers, Ana
ah yes about the contact page my mistake you'll not be able to use this one for it because it has contact form included inside codes. If you'll need to create some pages on your own, you can use page builder plugin and this way you'll be able to set your page as you want. Because each template that comes with the theme is for something, so it will not give you this possibilities that you'll need. You can use blank page template and create with the page builder template on your own.
I've read the documentation. Still can't solve the problem. I keep doing what it says regarding sidebars and swapping, but nothing changes :-/
so download a plugin called "page builder"?
yes because you can't swap the sidebar on the page where the sidebar doesn't exist. If you want to create the page on your own you'll have a option to use page builder plugin if you want drag and drop effect and freedom in creating the page, other way you can have pages as they are in live preview and modify them or even if you know you can create the template on your own.
inside folder "Plugin" that comes with the theme is included this plugin. We wrote about it inside help files
Thanks for your help. I'll try that method and see if it works. I want the same sidebar I have on the contact page, but I'm just not understanding how you say I can have 100 sidebars for 100 posts since I've got to download a plugin to create page that will allow me a different sidebar?
Thanks again for your patience. Just trying to make my site perfect!
also on our description page for this theme is written: "Sidebar Generator – it also comes with sidebar generator that gives you possibilities to have different sidebar content on different post pages." That doesn't mean that you can put the sidebar on whatever page you create, the sidebar needs to be coded with the theme for this template and that part of the page.
Cheers, Ana
For example, you have written "x name" post, per default each blog post are using the same default sidebar within the theme and you add the content inside "widgets – left blog sidebar". This means all your blog posts have the same sidebar content. With the sidebar generator, you can create new sidebar and call it "your sidebar", after you create this new sidebar navigate to the Widgets and there you'll see your new sidebar "your sidebar". Now you can add the content for this sidebar. When you finish with this part, you can navigate to the post "x name" and at the bottom you'll see "Sidebars" – Replace "sidebar" with "sidebar" and there you can choose replace "left blog sidebar" with "your sidebar",update the post and after this you'll see that just this post has the sidebar content you created and the rest of it has the default one. This way you can create for each blog post his own sidebar content (this is what i meant when i wrote you 100 different sidebar content – 100 posts, just for example). Hopefully this will help you out. I am not sure how better to explain you this.
Thanks for your help. I'm going to attempt the page builder option. Just FYI- Everything works great and I'm pleased with the theme.
no problem, glad that i could help out. Hopefully i menage somehow to explain you this part with the sidebar and sidebar generator.
Cheers, Ana
Problem solved using page builder- God bless you!
great, glad that worked
Two questions:
1) When I post a blog, it posts appropriately, but when I click on the link on the homepage (where it populates to automatically) it takes me to an error page. Thoughts?
2) Any idea how I can hide the menu from the home page?
Hi, this is first what we wrote inside help files, index.html page – 1.4 HOW TO SET THE HOMEPAGE? and 1.5 HOW TO SET THE BLOG? You'll need to set up Reading Settings
We offer free support on TF (we are not obligate to do this here) just on questions related to the technical problems with the theme. For any more questions that are not related to the technical problems with the theme you can contact us via email but this will not be free for sure.This is one advice, you can try to add this, i don't have time to take look further, if this works for you great if not you'll need to play little with codes to make this possible, to name it and than to add inside Custom CSS….
.home .mainmenu { display: none; }
Cheers, Ana
I did do the reading settings though, and it does not work right :-/
please contact me via contact form and send me more info and also link to your site so that i can check this out, i can't see this without more info. Everything what is inside live preview is working with the theme like it is, otherwise i would not be possible to get the live preview to work as it is, so probably you are doing something wrong but i can't check it without more info from your side. Cheers, Ana
I was going to, but can't find the email address or contact form?
If you go to tuscanyva.com you'll see that I've got the home page with hours and contact info along with the blog in between them.
When I click the link on that page it does not go to the blog. It errors. Try clicking "Have you tried our pizza?"...should take you to a post, not an error :-/
You'll also see if you go to my blog page, that if I try to click on any of the blog posts they error.
Here on my profile page you have a contact form. Please send an email because i'll need probably to login or to ask you more questions about it, just from the link i can't help a lot. Please check the files, if you uploaded all, also plugins you are using. I am now on iphone and can't check the site, here is time for sleep, i'll take a look tomorrow but please till then send an email from my profile contact form. Cheers
Changing the permalink structure appears to have worked! Thank you so much for the advice.
Hey, no problem . Glad that everything is fine now. I just saw your email but as you menage to resolve it i think i don't need to do respond you there.
Cheers, Ana
Dear, i installed this plugin but there are top menu appeared. can you let me know how i can move top menu?http://www.menroll.com.au
just go to the Widgets and remove the widgets form the sidebar. If you want your theme to look like in the live preview, you can import the .xml file from the "Theme Data" folder. You have all about it inside help files. "Free Delivery Widget Area" is part for the top sidebar – part where in live preview is the tel number. Just remove the widgets (search,meta…) that you have inside sidebar and this is it.
Cheers, Ana
Hi Ana, is there any reason why my menu Items do not have the green box around them and the sub content menu? Thanks! www.greengrubbin.com
please find inside help files, menu.html, you'll find there all what you'll need to set up for the menu to look like in live preview. There are also screenshots included to help you out.
Let me know if you menage it .
Cheers, Ana
my webite looking good in chrome and safari…but has issues in firefox and internet explorer…kindly help.. livehealthy.pk
Top bar not aligned and it green instead of the orange color…also pic distorted….
you did some css and coding alone and you'll need to find out what you did wrong, because your three boxes (recipes for healthy food lovers) are out of container and this means you messed something within the codes or css (for me this looks same in Chrome, Safari and Explorer, it is out of the container). Also the home page, you created it on your own so you'll need to find what you did wrong, if you set up the one from the live preview it will work like it is. Sorry but you can check our live preview in firefox and internet explorer and you'll see that it looks same. We offer free support just in case of technical problem with the theme. Reviewers are checking the themes before it is approved for sale and that means also in different browsers. Please check your css or code that you changed because you add something with this three boxes or if you are using some plugins check this out too. About the menu if you'll want to add description to the menu item, small text under, like we have inside live preview, first make this and than if you'll need to adapt the menu you can add this inside Custom css option:
.mainmenu { margin-bottom: -5px; }or because your logo is much bigger you can pull the menu under the logo.
Hope this will help you.
one thing more go to the http://validator.w3.org/ and check your home page link, you'll see that you have errors, not closing tags and so on and if you check out home page from live preview you'll see that it passed the test. That means you'll need to check codes that you add inside editor and to clean it. For the menu part, add small text for the each menu item and smaller logo image or you can adjust it inside Custom Css option for what you'll need. If you'll have a large logo than you can pull the menu under or you can have it as we have inside live preview…
Cheers, Ana
Thanks ….I have fixed some of the issues and working on…can you guide me how to change the selection text color for menu tab…
::-moz-selection { background: #f7941e; color: #fff; /* Firefox */ }
Will this work ? so the menu tab can be orange like they come in chrome browser in firefox too…
.sf-menu li.current-menu-item { background: #6ea665; }you can add it inside Custom CSS option and change the color for it.
.mainmenu { float:right; width:80%; padding-top:55px; margin-bottom:-35px;
Works perfectly for Opera and Chrome…
But for Firefox
.mainmenu { float:right; width:80%; padding-top:55px; margin-bottom:auto;
I am trying to use
moz-margin-bottom:auto; in first block of code but its not working…
Would be extremely grateful if you can guide me how to make it compatible with all browsers…
.mainmenu { width:60%;}you'll see that this will pull the menu to the top, your logo is to big and you'll need to reduce the menu width or to pull down the menu.
I'll respond you on your email about the custom work during the day, been pretty busy at the moment.
I am having trouble changing the URL in "Our Team" pages, those pages just don't give me the option to change the URLs. I do not want the words "our team" in the URL, please help!
Hi, thanks for buying this theme. This doesn't have to do with the theme, you'll need to set up and change inside WordPress settings. If you imported our .xml file, demo file than of course you imported pages with name same is in the live preview. You can open your page alone and not use "our Team" page from live preview or change the permalink of the page (Permalink-Edit-change the link and hit OK).
Cheers, Ana
Ideal dimensions for slider?
Hi, thanks for purchasing this theme, min width for the slider img is 1920px and height you can set up on your own. In the live preview slider image size is 1920×450px.
Hi Can i purchase just the psd files to mock up for a client?
Hi, sorry but there is no psd file for this theme, everything is done direct in code, css3…
Cheers, Ana
Nice theme!!!!!! I have a question, sorry if it's obvious! I'd like to introduce a Home Testimonial Box Widget Area, and I complete in widgets the content. Nonetheless, it doesn't appear in my home theme (template 3). Footer area work. Should I activate this area for this template? Sorry again and thanks a lot !!
Thanks!! I'll do it !!! I realize that it depends of the template, so I added the code of the main home template Thanks again!
Hey,thanks for purchasing this theme. Glad to hear that you find it on your own. I wasn't at home till now to check emails and comments.
Cheers, Ana

Online Colleges in Indiana
Indiana has a lot to offer when it comes to educational attainment, including a wide array of online colleges that offer flexible, online degrees. Continue reading to learn more about online colleges in Indiana, including a list of 10 online schools ranked by affordability.
On this Page:
- Introduction
- The Most Affordable Online Colleges in Indiana
- Snapshot of Indiana Cities
- Helpful Resources
Colleges and universities in Indiana faced dramatic challenges over the last decade. According to a 2011 report from Indiana Economic Digest, tuition rates nearly doubled, while the state's seven public institutions of higher learning dealt with declining government support. The combination of these unfortunate circumstances has resulted in a scarcity of degree holders in the state. In fact, the Lumina Foundation found that only about 33 percent of adults in Indiana aged 25 to 64 held a college degree in 2010, ranking the state 40th in college attainment. But the future could be bright for higher education in Indiana, and much of that positive horizon is due to the rise of online education in the state. When it comes to online learning, Indiana scored an "A" from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's "Leaders and Laggards" survey of public postsecondary education. As the state strives to create an environment where more students graduate with a degree in hand, online education has become an increasingly important consideration.
Many public and private schools in Indiana offer online classes, credential programs and degrees. The Indiana College Network (ICN) is a great place to begin the search for higher education courses in the state. Each member school of ICN is accredited by agencies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, and many colleges in the state, including Ball State University, Indiana Wesleyan University, Purdue University and the University of Indianapolis have course listings through the site.
In addition to state schools, many national online colleges offer degree programs to students in Indiana. Most of these schools boast a wider range of degree concentrations and have been offering online programs for many years. Several, such as ITT Technical Institute and Strayer University, even have physical campuses in the state, giving students the opportunity to earn a degree through hybrid programs that combine online courses with traditional classroom learning.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates from 2013, there are over 2.8 million employed people in the state who earn an annual mean wage of $40,780. This is slightly below the average salary for Bachelor's degree holders in Indiana, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau: they make an average of $45,106, while those with a graduate or professional degree make $60,350.
These statistics and others make it abundantly clear that a college degree is an excellent investment for those who call Indiana home. The National Center for Education Statistics reports that there are 68 schools where students can earn Bachelor's degrees in the state of Indiana.
The Most Affordable Online Colleges in Indiana
The following list ranks the 10 schools in Indiana that offer online degrees at the lowest tuition costs. This ranking is based on a number of factors that are important to prospective students such as the actual degree programs that are taught online, and information on tuition fees, accreditation and notable alumni. Tuition figures are sourced from the National Center for Education Statistics and reflect in-state tuition (when in-state tuition is available) for all students, including online students. See our Methodology section for more details on the ranking methodology.

Refs finally let 'Sheed play
Originally Published: June 13, 2004By Joe Lago | ESPN.com
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Rasheed Wallace shrugged off his 26-point, 13-rebound breakthrough performance in Game 4 of the NBA Finals as "just my night." But at what point of Detroit's 88-80 win over the Lakers did he know it was his time to shine?
Was it when he sank his last two free throws with five minutes left to cap a perfect 6-for-6 night from the line? Not exactly.
Was it when he swished a straightaway 14-foot jumper with a minute left to cap a 10-point fourth quarter and ...

Early Meeting Time Strains Participation
Posted: April 19, 2014 at 5 a.m.
One of the biggest obstacles, other than apathy, to local political participation is time. Many residents lead busy lives. When the ol' clock on the wall says it's quitting time, they're just glad to get home, hug the dog, pet the kids, kiss the spouse and settle in for a breather before it all starts over again the next day.
What's The Point?
Fayetteville's quick decision to move City Council meeting times 30 minutes earlier creates a bigger burden on citizens who want to participate in the deliberative processes of city government.

Banks offered minicamp tryout with Seahawks
"I know a lot of people complain about that, but I was thrilled about it," he said.
It was just the second time he'd ever been on a commercial airplane and his first flight in more than 15 years. Oh, and it came after an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
In just 14 days, Banks has become a spokesman and a celebrity.
"I served five years in prison. The last two weeks feels like a breeze," Banks said.
From a football perspective, there is still plenty left for Banks to prove. He first must decide whether to accept the Seahawks' minicamp offer. Banks' agent, Bruce Tollner, said Thursday afternoon that he had yet to speak with Banks about the offer, but that Banks tentatively has visits scheduled with five other teams.
"An invitation back to Seattle is a very positive thing that he'll want to consider, we just need to check his schedule," Tollner said.
While impressed with his raw athleticism, Carroll freely acknowledged that Banks is not refined to the level of an NFL linebacker and whatever expectations are placed on Banks need to reflect his lack of football schooling during the last 10 years.
Banks said Thursday that after his release from prison, he played one season of football at Long Beach City College in 2007, but changes in his probation that went into effect in 2008 kept him from continuing to play junior college football.
The fact Seattle was first up in Banks' NFL tour was not a surprise. Carroll and Banks first developed a relationship when Banks was a top high school prospect and Carroll was in the beginning stages of turning USC into a college powerhouse. Banks was offered a scholarship and made a verbal commitment to play football at USC during his junior year at Long Beach Poly.
More than a decade later, the pair was reunited on a rainy Thursday morning. Carroll watched Seattle linebackers coach Ken Norton Jr. put Banks through a basic workout. He measured at 6-foot-2, 239 pounds. He ran a 40-yard dash, but didn't know his time. He did bag drills. He showed off the athleticism that first attracted Carroll to Banks when he was a prep star.
And he lived out a dream that seemed so unlikely while he was incarcerated. Banks, wearing a sweat shirt with "XONR8" on the front, said he was extremely appreciative that the Seahawks and Carroll are giving him a chance.
"I told the coaches today coming out here, and I absolutely mean it, I feel more appreciative for the opportunity than I feel deserving," Banks said. "I'm honored to have all of these people and all of these coaches of these different teams give me this opportunity."

You are being funny! ;d And now is the big waiting for her new album, which will came out in November, this year. So, don't comment if you don't know anything. SpinSuga, if you are trying to tell me that Avril can't sings, I can honestly tell you L-O-S-E-R! Maybe you haven't listen her live performance.. Listen, you will see that you are so wrong. For example, listen some of The Best Damn Tour live performances, you will change your 'opinion'.. Have a great day guys!

I will probably try it. I used to be a fan of avril but now she's whatever to me. I liked the ingredients, if you wanna call it like that xD, that she used. Seriously, give her a break. Just because it comes from this girl who has become a sell out or probably has always been a sell out, you won't try her perfume? If you have better taste on perfumes, then I'll respect you. But just because it was made by "Avril Lavigne", then you're an idiot. It won't give you "motherfucking princess" cooties if that's what you're afraid of.

No, I cant stand her as she seems like a bratty celebrity without real talent so I doubt her perfume is going to be any different. And her line at Kohls is for the junior high crowd.

I wouldn't mind celebrity perfumes if they were from someone that exuded a bit more class and style. Plus, after looking at her clothing line, I feel this may be better suited to the high school crowd.

HYDERABAD: A teenager riding a Bajaj Pulsar bike rammed into four persons crossing the road on Tank Bund near Brahma Naidu statue killing one of them on Monday.
Shaik K. Baji, 37, his friends, Chinna Saidu and Srinu, and another unidentified man were walking back to the pavement after watching waters of Hussainsagar when the motorcyclist heading towards Secunderabad crashed into them. Death was instant for Baji while Saidu and Srinu sustained critical injuries.
The fourth injured person was discharged after being treated at a hospital. Police identified the motorcyclist as Vishnu of Abids, who reportedly fled the accident spot. Hailing from Kotcharla in Guntur district, Baji came to see his ailing mother-in-law admitted in a private hospital at Indira Park.
After calling on her, he went to the Tank Bund along with his friend and was returning to hospital when the accident occurred.

Ronaldo-inspired Madrid ready for United
MADRID — Real Madrid assistant manager Aitor Karanka believes his side are hitting form at the right time as they swept aside Sevilla 4-1 thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick.
The Spanish champions take on Manchester United on Wednesday in the first-leg of their Champions League last-16 tie and Karanka is hoping Ronaldo can carry his recent form into the clash against his former club.
"Cristiano has had the love of the crowd here for some time. The important thing though is for the team to have a player like Cristiano in this form heading into the period we now have," he said.
Coach Jose Mourinho had taken the chance to rest a few important players with Wednesday's game in mind, but it mattered little as Karim Benzema put the hosts in front from barely a yard on 17 minutes before Ronaldo fired a fierce drive past Beto in the Sevilla goal eight minutes later.
The Portuguese captain rounded off his 20th hat-trick in a Madrid jersey with two goals in 14 minutes after half-time before a red card for Gonzalo Higuain and Manu del Moral's late consolation soured an otherwise comfortable night for Mourinho's men.
Thoughts now turn to their attempt at a 10th European crown and Karanka is hopeful that playing 18 hours ahead of United this weekend could make a difference.
"You notice a day extra rest and it has been good with the changes we made to also give a rest to some important players. We will see what players they play tomorrow," said Karanka, a reference to United's league clash with Everton on Sunday.
Sevilla boss Unai Emery was far more concerned at what he saw as his side making things easy for Madrid.
"We have made things too easy for them. In the first 25 minutes I didn't recognise my team," he said.
"We didn't have the perseverence that we've had in other games. We saw Real Madrid win easily.
"My intention was that we would have much more presence on the pitch. We need to demand more and work hard because the team hasn't been at the level we expected."
The win moved Madrid back to within four points of city rivals Atletico and 13 off Barcelona, with the top two set to take on Rayo Vallecano and Getafe respectively on Sunday.
Malaga maintained their place in fourth after they came from behind to beat Levante 2-1 thanks to two goals from Isco.
Valencia, who have a Champions League date against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, remain just two points adrift of the Andalusians as Nelson Valdez's stoppage time header handed them a 1-0 away win at Celta Vigo.
Mallorca began life under Gregorio Manzano with a 1-1 draw against Osasuna but Deportivo La Coruna lost 3-0 at home to Granada to remain b

I'm a Sonic and SEGA fan, I'm also into Megaman, Tales of, Kingdom Hearts and Pokemon.
I like RPG's, but often lose interest if I take too long to beat one(something else comes along or w/e).
From time to time I look up fan games of franchises I like, since my access to games since they(and everything else) are VERY expensive where I live(about twice the price), and it is not simply confusion with the conversion rate.

SPANAWAY, Wash. - Potential federal budget cuts could cost Shawn Napier and his girlfriend about $600 a month starting in May.
That s half a mortgage, said Napier.
His girlfriend, who did not want her name published, is one of 16,000 civilians who work on Joint Base Lewis McChord.
A base spokesperson said as many as 11,000 could be impacted by furloughs.
Napier s girlfriend said she was told if the cuts go into effect she will see a twenty percent pay cut by the end of April.
She s looking at getting a second job, said Napier, But that will take time away from us, the kids, us doing anything family wise.
The couple has three children between them.
They ve dated for three years and talked about getting married, but Napier said that can t happen until they re confident his girlfriend has a fulltime job.
Trivonna Irwin does not work on the base but is worried about the cuts.
If people don t have a disposable income, they re not going to do their kitchens, said Irwin, who owns Cabinets by Trivonna in Lacey.
She said the business was struggling late last year, but it s picked up recently.
Knock on wood because we re busy right now, said Irwin.

Billboard in North Carolina claims 'Russel' Wilson as Wisconsin's own
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson played college football at North Carolina State and Wisconsin.
But whoever paid for this billboard in Raleigh, North Carolina seems to be needling Wolfpack fans.
When in needling mode, though, you need to make sure you get the spelling right.

Award-Winning Graphic Design Firm Launches Responsive Website Design for San Francisco Bay Area Expert Car Buying Service
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/07/14 -- Top San Francisco Bay Area graphic and web design firm Project6 Design is launching an overhauled web presence for the successful online car buying service Cartelligent. The website's new design and development is already experiencing a dramatic increase in user engagement, thanks to a modern and responsive design enhanced by simplified site architecture. In addition, the implementation of Drupal as the Content Management System (CMS) has allowed Cartelligent the ability to quickly update their web content with ease.
Award-winning graphic design firm Project6 Design launched a responsive website on Drupal CMS for Cartelligent, a California based online car buying service that strives to make purchasing a new vehicle as enjoyable as driving one.
Cartelligent's previous website did not build credibility with their target audience or establish their web presence as a high-quality automotive service. Confusing navigation combined with outdated graphics and messaging resulted in a low search ranking and a lack of user engagement. To better position their brand to be recognizable for the personalized service they offer, they enlisted Project6 Design, one of the San Francisco Bay Area's best graphic design firms, for a complete overhaul of the Cartelligent web presence.
The overhaul began by updating and optimizing the website's metadata with unique keywords to improve their overall search ranking and visibility. To entice new visitors to stay, Project6 Design then began a complete restructuring of the site's architecture by first condensing their primary navigation down to three pages, all of which are designed to funnel users to an online form. The clean, intuitive design efficiently directs users, while content invites interested parties to submit information for a free consultation, allowing a Marketo form to harvest additional lead information on the backend for more effective marketing.
With the website's new structure in place, the Bay Area design firm went about giving Cartelligent a brand new look. Aiming for a fun, fresh, and simple appearance to reflect the brand's core philosophy of providing an enjoyable experience, the Project6 team used a modern parallax design. Agile and innovative, the new design performs double duty by both drawing users in and responding well to display on a variety of devices, allowing easy perusal even for those on the go.
To ensure Cartelligent's web presence could keep pace with their growing services and locations, Project6 Design built the site on a Drupal CMS for easy updating and page editing. With simplified analytics and a user-friendly content management system, Cartelligent is armed with an invaluable tool to assess their strengths and grow with future business.
Shortly after the time of launch, Cartelligent saw their bounce rates drop from 60% to an impressively low 10%, while pages visited during each session were doubled. Project6 Design attributes this dramatic increase in user engagement to the simplified site architecture and intuitive navigation. Additionally, Cartelligent reports the Bay Area firm's branding strategy has led to a dramatic increase in quality leads and conversions.
"We wanted a new website to meet two main objectives -- to better communicate the value of the Cartelligent service and to increase the number of site visitors that contacted us. Project6 was able to deliver on both of these. They helped us craft a beautifully presented message that clearly illustrates the benefits we offer to car buyers. Our website conversion percentage is up by 50% since we launched the new site." - Jessica Carstens, Marketing Manager | Cartelligent Cartelligent offers an expert car buying service, connecting consumers with the new car they want at a great price, while allowing them to avoid the hassle of ever setting foot in a dealership. Their comprehensive service promises to beat the traditional dealer experience by offering excellent, prompt attention, as well as saving buyers both money and time. For over fourteen years Cartelligent has facilitated thousands of new car deliveries and continues to boast and exceptional 97% customer satisfaction rating and over 150 5-star Yelp reviews.
About Cartelligent Cartelligent was founded in 2000 by David Shapiro, with the vision of creating a fantastic car-buying experience for everyone. Since then, the company has grown from a single location in Sausalito to branches throughout California and has delivered over 20,000 new cars. The company remains dedicated to the belief that the car-buying process should be as easy and enjoyable as driving the car itself.

Plans afoot to picket the Collectorate
No concrete outcome from all-party meet: fishermenFishermen to oppose construction work at port from April 3
VISAKHAPATNAM: The Gangavaram fishermen plan to hold a massive rally along with other fishermen association from over 90 villages from Beemunipatnam to Pyakraopeta and lay siege to the Collectorate on April 1 to express their dissatisfaction. "We have also decided to go ahead with stopping the construction work at Gangavaram port from April 3,'' general secretary of Gangavaram Fishermen Joint Front, Rajesh, told The Hindu over telephone.
On the all-party meet he said: "We had high expectations but the outcome is peanuts. Primarily, the Government has not agreed to stop work at the port site till the issue is settled.
Tripartite agreement
Neither it has talked of any tripartite agreement regarding the relief and rehabilitation package nor has ordered a judicial inquiry into the recent firing and atrocities committed by the police force." He noted that the people of
Gangavaram are the second time evacuees due to a project. The first time was when the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant was set up. We welcome the idea of a fishing jetty over there but that has to be given in writing in a tripartite agreement before the construction work commences. If not shift us along with the village to a safer seashore with proper R&R package and even that also has to be decided before the start of the work,'' he said.

Cavalcade of Whimsy
Dec. 22 - Week 16, Part 2
Pete Fiutak
Dec. 21 - Naming the Big
Ten divisions after Bo & Woody, and the solution
- COMING CHRISTMAS DAY: The Holiday Gifts & Wishes
For Every Team.
Ten reasons why Auburn will win the BCS Championship. Don't get mad, Oregon fans, last week were the ten reasons why the Ducks will win. We'll get into the nuts and bolts of the matchup later next week in the bowl previews. These are ten non-X-and-O reasons …
10. The Pac 10 sort of sucks this year
Oregon might be a national title-good team that just so happened to play a mediocre slate. However, it's not like the Ducks played a who's who of killers with just one win over a team currently ranked in the BCS top 25. The lone decent road victory came against a Tennessee team that's only in a bowl because it's lone win over a bowl team came against Kentucky at home in the regular season finale. The Ducks' second best win was at USC, who, to be fair, would've gone to the Holiday Bowl if eligible. It's not like they had to beat Alabama, Mississippi State, Clemson, South Carolina (twice), Arkansas, LSU, and Georgia. Auburn has more than proven itself against top-shelf competition. Oregon hasn't.
9. Great defenses don't seem to faze the Tigers.
Before having to deal with Auburn in mid-October, LSU was third in the nation in total defense and sixth against the run. AU tore off 440 rushing yards and three scores as Cam Newton all but cemented the Heisman. Auburn's ground game was stuffed early on by Alabama, so Newton started throwing against the nation's No. 2 team in pass efficiency defense completing 13-of-20 passes for 216 yards and three scores. In all, Auburn beat teams that finished sixth (Alabama), eighth (LSU), 30th (Georgia), 33rd (Arkansas), 51st (South Carolina) and 52nd (Mississippi State) in total defense. Oregon only beat three teams with defenses ranked higher than Mississippi State. Stanford was one (24th), Arizona was another (36th), and the third was …
8. California
The game against California was supposed to be the truest indicator of what Oregon really was. It was the one time the Ducks had a chance to show up against a real, live defense away from Autzen Stadium, and while they didn't fail, they were less than impressive. Nevada's Pistol attack rolled for 316 yards on the ground and 497 yards of total offense in a commanding 52-31 blowout over the Bears. Stanford powered its way to 232 rushing yards in a 48-14 blasting, and Oregon State ran for three scores in a 35-7 blowout. Oregon managed just 162 yards on the ground, 317 yards of total offense, and won 15-13 with just one offensive score. Auburn's worst offensive output came against Alabama, amassing 324 yards, and California isn't anywhere near the Tide's class.
Struggling against Cal late in the year with everything on the line wasn't exactly confidence inspiring.
7. Gus Malzahn isn't the Vanderbilt head coach
There's a lot of crow eating right now by those of us who criticized the hiring of Gene Chizik, but it was impossible to completely grasp just how important the role of the coordinators would be. While Chizik is getting all the awards and all the accolades, the one thing he did right, above all else, was hire Malzahn, the best offensive coordinator in football. Cam Newton might be a talent, but Malzahn, who did wonders with far less talented players, made him special while creating the offensive juggernaut that gets running production out of everyone. It could've been a huge distraction had Malzahn bolted to Vanderbilt or to another open job, but the mega-deal that'll pay him at least a million a year, and possibly as much as $1.3 million, settled the situation. Now all the focus for Malzahn, and the Tiger offense, can be on the Oregon defense.
6. Good throwing quarterbacks
Oregon might have finished sixth in the nation in pass efficiency defense, but it allowed 387 yards and three scores to Arizona State's Steven Threet. Stanford's Andrew Luck threw for 341 yards and two touchdowns, USC's Matt Barkley threw for 264 yards and a score, Arizona's Nick Foles threw for 448 yards and three touchdowns, and the Ducks missed Washington's Jake Locker. They came up with nine total picks against the four strong Pac 10 passers, but they still got picked apart. Cam Newton led the nation in passing efficiency and has thrown just one interception in his last seven games.
5. The SEC history
In case you haven't noticed, the SEC doesn't miss when it comes to championship games. Since the BCS started up in 1999, after the 1998 season, the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, and Pac 10 are a combined 6-12 in title games. The SEC is 6-0. You never mess with a streak, and with a run of Florida, LSU, Florida, and Alabama over the last four years, Auburn appears to be the next in line. After getting the short end of the stick in the 2004 and 1983 national title debates, Auburn is one game away from finally exorcising all of its demons while keeping the title in the house of the best conference in college football. Oregon isn't just fighting Auburn; it's fighting history. The last non-USC team currently in the Pac 10 to win an outright, unquestioned national championship was California … in 1920.
4. Oregon, welcome to a defensive line
This offseason, defensive line coach Tracy Rocker had some work to do. There was size, athleticism, and some experience to count on, but there wasn't a lot of proven star power. That changed in a big hurry as defensive tackle Nick Fairley won all the big awards as the best lineman in America. He showed promise last year, but he didn't exactly have Lombardi Award written all over him. Fellow tackle Zach Clayton is a senior, as is pass rushing terror Antoine Carter on the outside, to go along with several young, talented playmakers led by Nosa Eguae on the outside and Jeffrey Whitaker working behind Clayton. This is now a deep, talented front four that's 11th in the nation against the run and it's 22nd in sacks and 25th in tackles for loss with everything working around the superstar on the inside. Oregon hasn't had to face a bunch of great defensive lines, and now it'll deal with one that probably won't need to resort to fake injuries to produce playmakers.
3. 37 days
With a few exceptions here and there (like Florida State over Virginia Tech in the 2000 Sugar Bowl), the better defensive team almost always beats the high-octane offensive team in national championships. Of course, Auburn and Oregon are both known for their offenses, and the Duck defense is statistically better, but there's a big difference. Oregon's attack is based more on tempo and timing, and Auburn's is built more on power and blocking. It sometimes takes a while for the Ducks to wake up under normal circumstances, and they could have a nightmare of a time against a Tiger D with several weeks to prepare for all the subtle nuances. Without fail, even with the 15 practices, offenses that rely on precision and timing have problems getting in sync with several over a month off, and while that could be a problem for Oregon, Auburn can always
simply power the ball. Oregon's offensive line is terrific, but it's not exactly going to blast away on the rested and ready Tigers.
2. Cam Newton
Oregon might have a sensational running back in LaMichael James, and he and top backup Kenjon Barner combined for 2,201 yards and 27 scores compared to the 2,108 yards and 19 touchdowns from the three-headed monster of Michael Dyer, Onterio McCalebb, and Mario Fannin. While Darron Thomas is a fantastic quarterback, Oregon doesn't have Cam Newton. Time and again this year, Newton overcame on and off-the-field adversity to produce with jaw-dropping performances in November against Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina, and there's nothing Oregon can throw at him that he doesn't appear able to handle. Pressure him like Alabama did, and pay the consequences in the secondary the times when you don't get to him. Lay back and try to keep the big running plays to a minimum, like LSU did, and risk getting a 6-6, 250-pound steamroller coming down the hill with momentum. The Heisman winner is on the verge of becoming another Tim Tebow and another Vince Young as they type of transcendent star who appears destined to add a national title to his legacy. Those crickets you're hearing is the sound of the lack of news about Newton's issues, and while the scrutiny will intensity again in the week before the title game, there doesn't appear to be anything new on the horizon. 2010 was Newton's college football season, and this should be his game.
1. The 2010 Rose Bowl
To sound like a movie promo, if you liked the 2010 Rose Bowl, you'll love the 2011 BCS Championship. The 2010 Oregon Ducks aren't that much different than the 2009 version. The difference in stats partly comes from facing Boise State and Utah last year and New Mexico and Portland State this season, but for the most part, both teams ran wild, both teams were aggressive on defense and efficient on offense. This year's team is doing things a little bit better, and has a lot more experience, but would it have gone unbeaten if it had to go on the road to face Boise State, Stanford, and Arizona like the 2009 version did? But I digress.
This year's team is better. It's crisper, Darron Thomas isn't quite the runner that Jeremiah Masoli was last year, but he's a more effective and efficient passer. LaMichael James is better than he was in 2009, the secondary is stronger, and the defense is better at taking the ball away. But even so, this team isn't vastly different. Last year's team couldn't handle Ohio State, and this year's team should have problems with a similar Auburn squad.
The difference is that Newton is better than Terrelle Pryor was last year. The Tiger passing attack is far more efficient than the Buckeye offense was, yet an injured Pryor threw for 266 yards and two touchdowns with an interception. Yeah, last year was last year, but Pryor ran for 72 yards on a bum leg. The key to the game turned out to be the time of possession with Ohio State hanging on to the ball for 41:37, and that happened because Pryor kept the chains moving time and again. Auburn isn't great when it comes to time of possession, but Oregon's quick strike attack is far worse ranking 105th in the nation holding on to the ball for 27:56 per game. Oregon's defense is good on third downs, but Auburn's offense is phenomenal ranking third in the nation converting 53.1% of the time. No. 1 is Stanford, who converted 8-of-15 chances against the Ducks and held on to the ball for 33:28.
Random Acts of Nutty … Provocative musings and tidbits to make every woman want you and every man want to be you (or vice versa) a.k.a. things I didn't feel like writing bigger blurbs for.
- Play this back when it happens and I don't get full credit. Driving back on a long car trip last Sunday I was listening to the NFL RedZone channel on the iPhone, and, I'll admit, looked at the screen while driving on the DeSean Jackson punt return. In the fog of the fifth hour of driving, it came to me … Classic RedZone. Take one big day of regular season football and do a three-hour run in the RedZone format. In the offseason, everyone would watch it, it would cost about ten bucks and the time of an editor to produce, and it would be like a history lesson.
- Top juniors and third-year sophomores, there will be an NFL. If you planned on turning pro before, don't let the labor strife stop you.
- I'm asking nicely, announcers. Just because a team is celebrating and the 14 fans who showed up are happy, that doesn't mean that bowls are necessary and you don't have to make excuses for the bad bowl game.

Living without love is merely existing...
I'm down to earth, honest, kind, independent, silly, spontaneous, very friendly and an occasional boyscout. People and friends say I have a big heart which I humbly always deny. I am a very active person who will get out and have fun, but also likes to have some downtime at home. I am the type of person who is not afraid to put myself out there and try new things....at least once. I enjoy the simplest joys of life such as star gazing and walks along the beach at sunset. I'm into hiking, camping, boating, surfing, wake boarding, fishing, anything that has to do with the outdoors. When I'm at home, I'd enjoy cooking and baking which you would think is odd for me..lol (Hey I'm straight alright ☺). I like almost all types of music (love alternative, pop, hip-hop, house, trance) except the heavy metal kind; movies like Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Notebook, Meet the Millers, World War Z, Dumb Dumber, 50 First Dates, and Shrek to name a few and tv shows like smallville, heroes, Lost, Supernatural & Walking Dead. I don't keep a dagger under my pillow and don't have any OCDs. :) I'm not here to get married asap, to be exact. I'm here to get to know people, and make friends, and if it so happens, meet that certain someone. You can hardly fall in love with someone if you barely know them... plus, I find that if you go after one thing only, you miss a hundred good things. I am looking for a woman who is caring, genuine and has FIDELITY. Also, a great match for me would be a woman that may have similar interests as myself and if not would be willing to try them. A shoo-in is when she's not afraid of being under the sun or she'll hang around even if the going gets tough. If you can eat hotdog with dirty hands I'd definitely enjoy your company! Of course, all these will simply vanish if you meet the right one. If you like what you've read so far and you want to get to know me more, send a message or a wink!♥
