Well...that's what a dynasty looks like. Alabama rode into Miami as the biggest favorite in BCS title game history, and rode out with their third title in four years (though they'll probably claim six of them) and a vice grip on the sport like we haven't seen in decades. The Tide extended the SEC's title run to seven years, became the first champion to repeat in the BCS era, justified that Nick Saban statue, and absolutely thugged the nation's #1 defense on their way to a 42-14 pasting of the Irish. AJ McCarron was his usual, efficient self, completing 20 of 28 passes for 264 yards and 4 TDs. T.J. Yeldon carried 21 times for 108 yards and a TD. Eddie Lacy took home the game's Offensive MVP Award with a 20 carry, 140 yard, one TD performance. The Tide did whatever they wanted on the ground and in the air, racking up 529 yards against the formerly stout Irish defense and holding the ball almost twice as long as Notre Dame. The defense wasn't all that bad either, holding Notre...

Czmarko Sets School Record At Phillips 66 National Championships
March 29, 2001
AUSTIN, Texas -Illinois swimmers Alison Czmarko and Jessica Aveyard each swam the 100 meter backstroke in long-course meters today for the first time all season at the Phillips 66 National Championships. This meet is the yearly USA swimming competition that allows collegiate athletes to race against the top amateur swimmers in the nation.
Alison Czmarko, a sophomore, placed 30th in the 100 meter backstroke. Her time of 1:05.70 set a new school record in a long-course meter pool. In a post meet time trial, Jessica Aveyard managed to break Czmarko's new record with a personal best time of 1:05.64.
"Alison had a good race and I think her 200 is going to be even better because she has been swimming that very well," head coach Sue Novitsky said. "They swam pretty well and tomorrow is a big day."
Three members of the Illinois squad will compete on Friday. Jessica Aveyard will swim in the 200 freestyle on Friday. Anna Christiansen and Crystal McAdam will also take to the pool in the 200 individual medley on the fourth day of the week-long competition.

More drill scrutiny urged as Australia gets report
Danenberger was not called to testify.
Tina Hunter, an expert on energy law at Australia's Bond University who followed the Australian hearing, said Halliburton should be held responsible for incorrectly signing off on the West Atlas well shoe as being cemented properly.
"Both cases have similarities in that we have these oil spills that occur and then there doesn't seem to be any contingency planning to stop the spill at its source," Hunter said.
Halliburton official Tommy Roth told a Louisiana state Senate hearing on Thursday that a test needed to determine whether the Deepwater Horizon well had been properly sealed with cement was not done on the day it exploded.

Philippine Islands seen from Space
September 7, 2009
This is a view of Mount Pinatubo, Philippine Islands, orient with the coast to the top. View westward across central Luzon and Mount Pinatubo. Manilla Bay is in partial sunglint along the left edge of the frame. The extensive flows of volcanic ash (lahars) extending from the mountain are readily seen despite partial cloud cover. The ash is mobilized with every rain in this typhoon-ridden region, flowing down valleys, filling drainage channels, and covering fields and towns. The STS-68 crew obtained excellent photographs of the region, for comparison to the radar data also obtained on the mission. Photographs in sunglint have proven particularly helpful because they show the exact outlines of surface water, which provides a datum point for the radar returns.

Modifying the PK Ki 5 315 to be more like PD 2012?

Once you get your racquet, there's nothing wrong with trying different configurations, like putting lead on the handle or the butt cap. I've tried putting lead in the butt cap before to counterbalance my lead in the hoop, but I didn't particularly like the results. That doesn't mean it won't work for everyone. Go ahead and try it, as long as it's reversible. I did put a heavier grip on my racquet (Wilson Shock Shield). I don't think it improved the way it played, but do like the feel of the new grip, so I'm keeping it.
When you look at the specs, the Ki 5 is 7 pts headlight, which means the balance point is 7/8" below the middle of the frame. This makes it more headlight than the vast majority of racquets they sell at TW. Contrast that to the Pure Drive, which is 4 pts headlight. It seems to me that the stock Ki 5 is plenty head light as it is.

There is a scene in the film Good Night Good Morning (GNGM) where the female lead Moira says that any good film can be explained in four lines. She is talking to Turiya Omprakash, a stranger she met in a bar on New Year's Eve, whose favourite film is The Matrix. Naturally he's stumped when he tries to give the gist of The Matrix in four lines.
GNGM, however, can be explained in four simple lines. Gang of four boys seek girl's attention. Girl ignores them. Boy glances at girl's hotel room number on the key-card and calls her up later. They have a conversation that lasts the entire night.
The film itself is not just a simple love story, however. It raises a number of questions in your mind. Are one night stands only about sex? Do you have to see a person to fall in love? Can a simple conversation traverse the contours of an entire relationship? Sudhish Kamath, 34, obviously thinks so. His film is a 'talkie' in the style of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset by Richard Linklater.
The inspiration
Kamath looks up to Billy Wilder and Cameron Crowe for inspiration. "I have watched Crowe's films on the lowest days of my life, so there is a personal connect to each of his films," he says. In one of Crowe's films, Elizabethtown, there is a nine-minute phone call between the lead characters which is turned into a musical montage. In one of GNGM's initial scenes too, when the protagonists open up to each other over the phone call, there's a musical montage. It's his homage to Crowe, Kamath says candidly.
Another oddity about GNGM is that it is shot entirely in black and white, except for the flashbacks which are in colour. The romance is very 50's and "old-fashioned" in look and feel but made relevant for today's times. "We wanted to show that old-fashioned romance still exists but you would need a surreal setting for it," says Kamath. The music, mostly jazz, adds to the old-world charm.
The plot is as simple as it gets. Two strangers meet on New Year's Eve in New York and end up having a long phone conversation — he, in the car on his way home, and she, stuck in transit in a hotel room on her way to India. The conversation spans the entire night and they go through eight stages of a typical relationship — ice-breaker, honeymoon, reality check, break-up, listening, friendship, and finally, confusion. The movie ends with another phone call, leaving you to draw your own conclusions.
Test drive
Good Night Good Morning started off as a joke. "A friend had just bought a camera. He came to me and said, 'Let's make a movie'. Given that we had no money, I told him the only way to do that would be if the script demands a low budget. For that the film should either be about two people talking on the phone or three people in a house." Since there have been other films about three people in a house, Kamath decided to try the phone idea, which he thought would challenge his writing abilities.
To begin with, he asked six of his friends to hook up with six strangers over the phone and record an hour's conversation. The results were entertaining. One woman led the other party on for a month, "because this was interesting", before confessing the truth.
Another couple opted to end the phone call and continue the conversation through online chat. One guy, who pretended to be a Mr Know-it-all, Googled all the lady's questions on rock music — Pink Floyd in particular — in order to impress her. Armed with this material, Kamath started exploring different shades of a relationship in his phone conversation script. "When two strangers meet, anything can happen. We wanted to show these possibilities," says Kamath.
Money, money, money
GNGM has now been to six film festivals, after premiering at Mumbai's MAMI film festival in 2010. Interestingly, Kamath recently wrote a post on the obituary of small, indie films. "Indie films are dead, usually before their arrival," he says, brutally. The reasons are numerous — inadequate funds for publicity, people being unaware of the release or preferring to download and watch it. Kamath thinks it highly unlikely that he will continue making films as they sap too much of energy, resources and money. So, with GNGM releasing soon in theatres, will it be a Good Night or a Good Morning for Kamath?

FS(UK): 2x Wilson K95 18x20
For sale in the UK only please
Hi guys,
I'm selling 2 18x20 K95's for a friend. They are both grip 3 and strung with Babolat Hurricane Tour and Xcel at 58bs. One is 7/10 and the other is 8/10 with just a few paint chips and scuffs to the bumpers, absolutely no structural damage to them.

Midlife Crisis Or Just Pressing Reset?
I tend to do things to the extreme. When I decided on a whim it would be fun to climb a mountain, it couldn't be some obscure, domestic mountain. It had to be Mt. Kilimanjaro. In Tanzania. With my 64-year old Aunt Nancy.
When I decided to start running more, it couldn't be without a goal. I had to do marathons. Three of them.
So over the past couple months when I realized I was becoming a forty-something frump, I knew I wouldn't go downhill half-ass. Rather I would do it with a fully covered ass in the form of granny panties. If I was going down, I was going to do it right. I'm an overachiever even in ruin.
Two weeks ago I professed my love for those granny panties. Even the panty line. Last week I lamented about how I didn't care about the sad state of my boobs. I had no energy to fix myself. Not caring gives you a huge sense of freedom. I was headed for rock bottom and enjoying it immensely.
Everyone knows though once you hit bottom you either bounce back up or well, die.
Clearly for me, it wasn't the latter.
I can't point to anything specific, but suddenly overnight, I went to the other extreme. My mom was manic. Perhaps I got a gene or two…
In the past week I have:
- Bought out Victoria's secret. Seamless underwear (not thongs, still can't do those post baby), 6 new bras, one new bikini swimsuit. All with major padding. My boobs look, well, at least like boobs.
- Ordered 2 more swimsuits from LandsEnd. Both tankini's so if I'm feeling self conscious about my now-outie-bellybutton-thanks-to-the-Y-chromosone-birth-of-my-son-I can cover it.
- Bought 5 new shirts, two pairs of shorts, summer pants and new pajamas. I even bought a belt. It's been 10 years since that's happened.
- Dealt with my hooves. ie: got a pedicure with callous remover and a manicure.
- Got into bootcamp. Hard core.
- Went to Yoga. Twice
- Then the big one: walked into my hairdresser yesterday and told her to do something crazy. I emerged looking like this:
Other than basic highlights throughout the past 2 decades, I have never ever changed my haircolor. Especially not to a redish-purpleish-blackish-brown thing. That's when I realized perhaps I was having a midlife crisis.
My hairdresser very kindly and enthusiastically said, "Oh no you're not. I've seen people have a midlife crisis. This isn't. You just decided to push the reset button."
Reset? Yes! That's describes my scenario perfectly. Sometimes we just have to RESET.
I think as moms, we run and run and give and give and we suddenly have no time for ourselves and suddenly, the very basics have been neglected. I'm talking more on a physical level than mental here. Though both affect each other. I'm talking about losing my feminine energy and finding it again.
The thing about my downfall was that I didn't mind it. This wasn't an existential crisis; I wasn't depressed. This was more like feeling burdened by trying to beautify. I didn't feel like taking the time or energy for myself. I liked being lazy. What I kept wondering was, "Why don't I care?" I still don't have the answer. But I care now, and hope my post-frump ambition will hold. It has to. Because I just realized another first: my eyebrows don't match my hair…they need to be dyed too.Add a Comment

Tsim Sha Tsui
Nathan Road is the main artery of the district, and a walk down the mile-long stretch of shops known as the Golden Mile is a quintessential Hong Kong experience. Stop in for tea at the Peninsula Hotel, sample fiery Indian curries on the first floor of the Chongqing Mansion or head to nearby Knutsford Terrace for cocktails with the locals.
The Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, located along the Victoria Harbour waterfront, is by far the best place to view the skyline of Hong Kong Island, especially at night during the Symphony of Lights show. Many of the city's best museums, including the Hong Kong Science Museum, Museum of Art, Museum of History and Space Museum are all located in Tsim Sha Tsui.

There's only one condition that matters to me is photographing the scene of a protest. Police use available photos as a record. They snach pretty much anyone who's been engaged and/or has witnessed in the activity, and they more than often use the record against certain individuals, unlawfully.
So, when I'm at the scene, I just fly away with my camera as fast as I can.

Diabetes Health Center
Magnesium Lowers Heart, Diabetes Risks
March 27, 2006 -- New research may help explain why eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts helps protect the heart and prevent diabetes.
The key may be the mineral magnesium.
People in the study who ate magnesium-rich diets seemed to be protected against developing metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors linked to cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
These risk factors include elevated blood pressure, low levels of HDL "good" cholesterol, elevated triglycerides (blood fats), elevated fasting-glucose (blood sugar) levels, and abdominal obesity as determined by waistline measurement.
Low-Magnesium Diets
Study participants who ate diets low in magnesium were more likely to develop the heart disease and diabetes risk factors.
Whole grains, nuts, and many fruits and vegetables are excellent dietary sources of magnesium.
"These foods have long been recognized as being healthy foods that may protect people from disease," researcher Ka He, MD, ScD, tells WebMD. "Magnesium could play an important role in this, but it is just one component of diet -- and diet is just one component of a healthy lifestyle."
The study group consisted of 4,637 young adults between the ages of 18 and 30 when enrolled in the mid-1980s. Fifteen years after entering the study, just over 600 had developed metabolic syndrome.
The researchers divided all the participants into four equal-sized groups based on their reported magnesium intake.
Daily Recommendations
The National Academy of Sciences recommends a daily magnesium intake of 400 milligrams and 310 milligrams, respectively, for adult males and nonpregnant females age 19 to 30. The recommended levels are 420 milligrams for adult males over 30 and 320 milligrams for adult nonpregnant females over 30.
He and colleagues concluded that people in the study who consumed the most magnesium had a 31% lower risk of developing metabolic syndrome, compared with people who ate the least.
Higher magnesium intake was associated with reduced risk of the individual risk factors that make up metabolic syndrome compared with those with the lowest intake.
The findings are reported in the April 4 issue of the American Heart Association journal Circulation.
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Did You Know Your Lifestyle Choices

Oculus VR sale to Facebook: Would you say no to US$2 billion?
Published on Mar 27, 2014 3:38 PM
Everyone has a price. For the founders of virtual reality firm Oculus VR, that turned out to be US$2 billion ($2.5 billion) in cash and shares from Facebook.
In a surprise announcement yesterday, the social media giant said it was buying Oculus VR, which makes the Oculus Rift virtual reality gaming headset. In a Facebook post, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the immersive experience enabled by virtual reality can be used in education and communication.
Oculus VR started out as a crowd-funded Kickstarter project in 2012 that raised an impressive US$2.4 million. But this figure pales in comparison to its US$2 billion valuation merely 21 months later.
However, the incredible tale of its rapid rise is being drowned by the backlash from some of its former supporters. On the Oculus Rift Kickstarter page, the latest comments from its original backers are mostly negative. They feel disappointed and angry about the deal.

Kenny Weissberg: A life in music
Longtime Humphrey's Concerts promoter and award-winning radio DJ Kenny Weissberg writes about his passions in new autobiography, 'Off My Rocker'
"I wouldn't go so far as to say I was only in it for the money. But the lure of making money was a big part of what got me to change careers. I loved doing radio, making music and being a rock critic, but I hardly made any money from any of them."
Like many baby-boomers who came of age in the 1960s, Weissberg experienced a life of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, up close and personal, as "Off My Rocker" attests in sometimes overly vivid detail. But he turned a major corner in 1986 when, he writes: "I swore to myself I would...
- Give up drugs
- Save my marriage
- Begin a serious workout regimen
- Reinvent my situation at Humphrey's
"It was an ambitious checklist but I nailed every item."
It was in 1986 that Southland Concerts, which had hired him to work at Humphrey's, folded. (A number of former Southland employees are given pseudonyms in the book, in order to shield the identities of people who have since turned their lives around, Weissberg said.)
Subsequently, Weissberg and Richard Bartell, the new owner of the concert venue and the adjacent Half Moon Inn & Suites, "hammered out a profit-sharing arrangement" that proved highly profitable for both of them. It endured until Weissberg decided to retire in 2006. The arrangement, Weissberg writes, was "a handshake deal — we never had a contract."
In "Off My Rocker," the veteran hotelier is praised as an astute businessman and a reliable straight-shooter.
"He was meticulous and honest," Weissberg writes of Bartell, whose Bartell Hotels group owns seven leading area hotels. "On the flip side, Richard viewed music solely as a commodity."
The two would disagree over some of the acts Weissberg booked, especially the more eclectic World Music performers and singer-songwriter cult artists that Weissberg took pride in mixing into each Humphrey's concert season. In his book, he recalls bristling that Bartell had a more conservative musical vision for Humphrey's than he did and was not inclined to take chances.
But the periodic push-and-pull dynamic between him and Bartell ultimately bolstered the lineups, as Weissberg now readily acknowledges.
"Absolutely," he said. "We didn't butt heads every day, but we butted heads for the 20-plus years I worked for him. I definitely think Richard's business acumen has played a tremendous role in the success of Humphrey's. After Southland Concerts (imploded), the venue would have died a slow death under most people. My powers of persuasion worked best with Richard when we could have long conversations (about potential Humphrey's bookings). But he's also opinionated and the bottom line is that it's his venue."
Reached for comment, Bartell said he has not read "Off My Rocker," but is familiar with some parts of the book.
"We agreed on the (Humphrey's) lineup 99 percent of the time," Bartell said. "And, when we disagreed, it was based on those shows that Kenny booked that I felt would not be financially successful. At times, I felt that Kenny may have been approaching it as an artist and as a lover of music. I approached it as a business, because Humphreys Concerts is, pure and simple, a business.

Busted Flat Records' psych-rockers Sexdwarf, have been awfully quiet of late. Save for the occasional backing gig with labelmate Lynn Jackson, or Scottish pop-rock legend Norman Blake, Sexdwarf have scarcely been on stage for the last couple years. The official reason is that they've been finishing their long overdue debut record Sexdwarf Has Disappeared Into The Mystic Dawn, but these schooled rock-lifers know that a little cultivated mystique can go a long way.
"It's totally the Black Metal thing," singer-guitarist Chris Boyne told me. "The less people know about you, the better you are. Really we never thought about it; we just worked on this until we were done working on it."
"And now we have giant welts on our heads from bashing them against the wall for five years," bassist Jake Stallard added.
Four-plus years holed up in a studio trying to piece together a coherent statement from reams of digital files, take upon take, and the encroaching paranoia that maybe none of this makes any sense, will take its toll.
"It was a long time coming," Stallard explained. "We started recording those drum tracks … it was four years ago this past July. It was a learning experience. We recorded it all ourselves, where ever we could. (That freedom) allowed us to screw around, which was nice. I think the songs really progressed because of that. But also our skills, as recordists (sic), as that progressed, we'd keep going back and re-recording things and it's like 'Oh, these new tracks sound so much better than the original tracks! Instead of trying to mix this to death, let's just re-record it!' It was a never-ending cycle of that."
"I'd say that we're really competent … now," Boyne added.
Mystic Dawn benefits greatly from its creators, (Boyne, Stallard, drummer James Butcher, and keyboardist Joe Dunn)' patience and willingness to experiment. Surely, goofy song-titles like Paid Me For Sex and Love Is A Boner, (not to mention the band's name), could lead casual listeners to assume that Sexdwarf are a jokey, Ween-esque band of stoners, but that's not quite the case. … Mystic Dawn is a technicolour, melting-pot of influences and deft songcraft, indebted as much to Electric Warrior and Sgt. Pepper as it is to Ween's White Pepper.
"I think that music attained perfection in 1967, but we can't make it sound like that," Boyne explained. "So we just went with our take on it. Trying to keep it as subconscious as possible, rather than having a plot."
"We let the songs dictate what we did to them," Stallard added. "There are so many influences that they're all sorta buried together and hopefully it became its own thing."
The inherent danger in crafting such boundaryless music, especially on your own time and gear, is that there's no one to tell you when it's done. A concise love-song can quickly morph into a sprawling mess of self-indulgence. Sexdwarf were keen to avoid such pitfalls, choosing to serve their songs first, and do so fearlessly, if carefully.
"I think it took a lot of the time to realize it could be this and not the mess that it was in certain stages," Stallard said. "A lot of times we wouldn't use the guitar tracks and it was like 'Oh man! That sounds right!' It really opened things up. When we jam too, that really is a lot of our sound: the rhythm section of the keys, bass, and drums, and then Chris just sorta does his thing over it. But when we started recording, we kept doing all these rhythm guitar parts, cause that's what you're supposed to do, supposedly. We found that those weren't working so we ditched them and ended up sounding more like we actually sound. We learned the hard way. Took the long way around."
"Honestly," Boyne added, "we just went with what we thought sounded good to us. We didn't really think about how whether or not we'd be able to pull it off."

Suspect Sports: A Gallery Of Athletes Accused Of Being In The Closet- By Bossip Staff Categories: Gay, Multi, News
Athletes Accused Of Being Gay
We've never really had an openly gay athlete before. The belief is that openly gay athletes will get ostracized from sports as people are concerned that teams will shun them if they come out. That hasn't stopped people from being accused of being in the closet while others try to yank them out and throw them on Front Street.
So here they are: athletes constantly called suspect. Your thoughts?

Watch Joe Biden Discuss Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Lyricist Gerry Goffin at the opening night of "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical," in New York. Goffin, ex-husband of Carole King, died Wednesday, June 18, 2014, at his home in Los Angeles. He was 75.
Lyricist Gerry Goffin, who with his first wife and then songwriting partner Carole King wrote such 1960s hits as "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" and "Natural Woman," has died at his home in Los Angeles. He was 75.
Goffin's wife of 19 years, Michelle Goffin, told the Associated Press that he died Wednesday of natural causes.
Goffin penned more than 50 "Top 40" hits, including "Pleasant Valley Sunday" for the Monkees, "Crying in the Rain" by the Everly Brothers, "Take Good Care of My Baby" by Bobby Vee and "You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor.
He had seven number one hits on the Billboard charts.
Goffin married King in 1959; the duo also co-wrote "Halfway to Paradise" and "The Loco-Motion." Their love affair is the subject of the Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical." They divorced in 1968.
"Gerry Goffin was my first love," King posed on Facebook. "He had a profound impact on my life and the rest of the world. Gerry was a good man and a dynamic force, whose words and creative influence will resonate for generations to come..His words expressed what so many people were feeling but didn't know how to say."

Who was Lendl's biggest rival?

1981 was probably the best year of their rivalry, with Clerc winning 3 out of their 5 matches that year. Clerc beat Lendl in their semi-final at Rome, en-route to winning the title. Then in their RG semi 2 weeks later Lendl came from 2 sets to 1 down to win in 5 sets, with Clerc having beaten Connors in 5 sets in the previous round. In the summer Clerc beat Lendl twice on the US green clay, in the semis at North Conway and the final at Indianapolis (probably one of the biggest green clay events on the tour at the time along with Forest Hills). Then in the fall Clerc reached the final at Basel where Lendl destroyed him.
Clerc also had a very good h2h record against McEnroe (5-6), with them playing each other 4 times in live Davis Cup matches from 1980-1984. Clerc beat Mac in a 6 hour 4 set match in 1980 and in 5 sets in 1983, both on the clay at Buenos Aires. Mac beat Clerc in 5 sets in the 1981 final and in straight sets in 1984, both on carpet in the US.
With his shotmaking ability and power plus his strong records against such great players, I think he is the most talented player of the open era never to have reached a slam/major final.
Lendl also had a pretty entertaining rivalry with Vilas on clay, winning 7 out of their 12 matches on the surface. Significantly Lendl travelled to Argentina and beat Vilas twice in big matches in Buenos Aires, in the 1980 Davis Cup semi-final (he also beat Clerc in the decisive 4th rubber), and in the 1981 Buenos Aires final. Lendl also beat Vilas in the 1980 and 1981 Barcelona finals, while a resurgent Vilas beat him in the finals at Madrid and Monte-Carlo in 1982, and the semis of Hamburg in 1980.
Right and those were the games I thought about plus the 1980 and 1981 Masters were Lendl beat Vilas in 2 close matches
As for Clerc he was unlucky with injuries and pulled off pretty young but for three years he was at Lendl level on cc and just behind Borg on that turf
In a very controversial match, Clerc beat Mac at the 80 rr Masters
