Clear Creek (via Panoche and New Idria)
I had posted this one day RR over in the SF Bay Area thread yesterday, but thought some others might enjoy seeing it here as well.
Clear Creek Ride Report (Part 1)
I had a great ride through Clear Creek (and most of San Benito County) today. The weather and riding conditions were perfect.
I started in Tres Pinos, just south of Hollister and the Bay Area. Here is the route I took:
Up and ready to leave Santa Cruz in the early AM
Morning shots on the way to and through the Panoche Valley
Heading out towards New Idria
Stop at Griswold Hills for a snack break and rest
Cute horses at the Equine Rescue Center
Stopped and talked with folks at Woods Ranch, seems like a cool place to ride. So few public riding places nowadays, it is interesting to see a private riding area like they set up there.
I rode a bit further towards the mine and ran into a few riders who came in from the Coalinga side. We all checked out the buildings and talked with one of the locals (I think it was the owner of Woods Ranch) who came up to adjust his water supply valves.
The processing facility and mine were interesting to see. I heard from the local guy that the EPA recently worked to help clean up the mine tailings and runoff from this site.
Nice views on the way up into Clear Creek. The road up from New Idria is in pretty bad shape (no photos of that part, too busy holding on and working through the ruts, rocks, etc.) but it was easily passable on a dual sport.

Clear Creek Ride Report (Part 2)
Conditions were really nice up at Clear Creek summit. I can see why people love coming up here to ride. I hope that the BLM will open more of the park back up to motorcycles in the future (I know, sensitive issue...) None of that got in my head as I enjoyed the views and nice weather while I was having lunch.
Rode down Clear Creek road and out along the creek. The group I had met earlier was coming back down and I rode with them for a bit. One of their riders bikes got flooded out in one of the water crossings and had a hard time getting started back up.
So long to Clear Creek, but the ride is not over yet.
I checked out some of the new BLM facilities and rode out on Coalinga Road to Old Hernandez.
Old Hernandez is closed at the water crossing (as many here already know), but you can get across if you find the right spot.
I had some extra fuel and time as I headed back up Hwy 25 towards Tres Pinos, so I decided to head up Gloria Road (another dirt stretch) up to the summit above Gonzales in the Salinas Valley.
On the way back down, many ground squirrels were trying to sacrifice themselves to the motorcycle gods (as they often attempt to do), but something more surprising happened about halfway back to Hwy 25. I was moving along at a fair clip and out of the bushes on the right side of the road, what I thought was a bobcat popped out and I had to swerve to miss it. I looked back in the mirror and saw the cat running back into the bushes with a HUGE, long tail. I quickly realized that this was a young (or small) mountain lion and I thought for a second about turning around to go and take a closer look or a photo. Then I thought again, small/young mountain lion, possibly a cub with a mother lion nearby...? No thanks, I will stay away from young renegade lions and their protective mothers.
I rode the rest of the way back up Hwy 25, and the wind picked up (noticeably absent for the earlier portions of the ride). Back to the truck in time to see multiple sky divers parachuting down nearby.
143 miles on the odometer. No crashes or incidents. Lots of great views and riding. Good way to spend the day.

Nice report 3r, I used to ride down in that area when I still lived in Morgan Hill. That was before I had a dual-sport and didnt know that some parts of the park are open( well kind of open). Wish I had known about some of those trails, looked like a fun ride. A guy from another web site(SBR) I used to visit tried to cross that wash out with his KLR, it ended up staying in there for 3 or 4 days. He did get it out and running again.

What a great ride! Like the previous poster, you bring back memories. 1975 Enduro. Weather so terrible they cancelled the enduro! ...So we rode your area in the snow. It was all day fun.
We lived in Monterey foothills in the 80's. I was surprised the fauna was so green in your pics. I guess I shouldn't have, but I always imagine the 'golden hills' around those parts.
Regarding the limited riding, you should try Ari freakin' Zona! I spent a couple weeks last month in Cave Creek north of PHX. Them dirt bike boys and girls ride everywhere out there. Buggies, ATV's and side-by-sides too. They have big staging areas and can be gone for a couple days!
Them boys kicked my ass on my wr250r, but I'm going back

My Polling Pledge
In the last few days, a number of polls (see here and here) have shown a dip in support for President Obama, and the reasons are not entirely clear. Is it the rise in gas prices? Maybe. But what about the positive signs on the economy? All well and good, but perhaps the administration is undermining itself by making too much of them. But there are still almost eight months until Election Day, so we'd all be well advised not to make too much of any one poll or any momentary fluctuation.
Because that's what these kinds of tracking polls do. They fluctuate. Between now and Election Day, I promise you there will be polls that show Obama comfortably leading, polls that show Romney leading, and polls that show a tie. That was what happened four years ago, and what happens in nearly every election. Take a look at this chart of the 2008 election, from pollster.com. The trend lines show averages of all the polls—with Obama leading until March, then McCain leading for a couple of months, then Obama leading until September, then McCain leading briefly again, then Obama leading until the end. But you'll also notice the points, each of which represents an individual poll. They show a huge variation. At the beginning of March, a Washington Post/ABC News poll had Obama leading by 11 points. A few weeks later, a Rasmussen poll had McCain leading by ten points. Which was right? Neither, both, some combination of the two, and it depends on how you look at it.
In the end, Obama beat McCain by seven points, making all the hand-wringing along the way from Democrats seem kind of silly. Looking at these latest polls, I'm sure that conservatives are given great hope. Liberals, I know, are doing one of two things—dismissing the results as a momentary and inconsequential blip, or beginning to get very nervous. It's possible that my own inclination toward the former is just a product of my ideological bias and the desire it produces to convince myself that the facts actually are what I would like them to be. So I hereby make a promise to you, gentle reader.
Over the course of this campaign, there will be many, many more polls. Some of them will be interesting enough to comment on. But I pledge to you now that I will try not to make too much of any one poll, or even a couple of polls. I will remember that there are always outliers—by the accepted standards of statistical accuracy, if you ask a question a hundred times, five of the answers you get will be completely wrong. I will endeavor to maintain this long view even when a poll tells me what I want to hear. It won't be easy, and I can't promise that I won't ever slip up. But I'll do my best.
Tue, 2012-03-13 13:15
Seems the bettors at Intrade (which include me, at very small levels) are onto the long view as well. I've seen only slight variations during these polling blips, and the price of Obama to win has stayed just above $6 a share for a while now. I expect the price to continue to rise as the economy continues to improve.
Oh, and I'm still seeing big leads for Obama in Ohio, without which no Republican has ever been elected President.
My main reason for hanging onto the shares I bought back in the high $5 range is that Willard Romney is the worst campaigner I have ever seen.

(PRWEB) September 16, 2013
On Monday, 16th of September, 2013, Jeff Walker is launching his newest version of his infamous training Product Launch Formula 4.0 where he continues to teach entrepreneurs and businessmen how to launch successful, highly profitable products in any business category.
Who is Jeff Walker?
Called the $400 million dollar man, Jeff Walker i.e. the Internet Entrepreneur Extraordinaire barely earned enough 15 years ago. While he scraped by to provide for his family, he finally got the break he needed and over that fifteen years, he has earned millions.
His story is one of the most inspiring stories today according to a Forbes magazine article. Founder of Internet Alchemy, Inc., Walker started selling investment advice through email -doing all this in the comfort of his humble home in a small Colorado town. What makes his story a wonderful one is that he is an ordinary man who used to have problems paying the bills like the rest of the population.
Fifteen years after tinkering with what the internet can do or has to offer, Jeff Walker developed his Product Launch Formula and later sold it to many business owners making himself a cool $20 million. The $400 million part is how much business owners can make through his PLF training.
What is Product Launch Formula 4.0?
PLF 4.0 is a training system to teach members how to launch successful products in any niche to make even millions of dollars per launch. Jeff started this training with a free part in the prelaunch period. The value offered in this free training forced ElSayed ElAssal; the expert reviewer to follow this system and do his review. People can read detailed Product Launch Formula 4.0 review here.
PLF 4.0 is formed of 6 major modules which cover all aspects of the process of launching products. In summary, these modules are:
Mr. ElAssal is also offering a big bonus deal for his first 20 customers of PLF 4.0, interested businessmen can check this bonus here.

British newspapers are notorious for going bananas over a bit of weather. They are not alone. Ian Stewart forwards a bulletin from the Bulgarian news agency at www.novinite.com: "The heat wave, which started sizzling in Bulgaria last week, will continue on Friday, to be followed by spells of showers over the weekend... Experts attribute the weird weather to a combination of unfavourable astrological and geological conditions, which have changed Bulgaria's climate from moderately continental to subtropical."

Vince Lombardi has staged a comeback in the past year. The Broadway show, "Lombardi", is doing well and his old team, Green Bay, is playing in the Super Bowl this Sunday, an event, ironically enough that Lombardi didn't like. The Lombardi coached Green Bay Packers played in what is now known as Super Bowl I and Super Bowl II. Officially Lombardi's two teams played in the American Football League-National Football league World Championship Game.
Lombardi thought the NFL title game was the be-all, end-all NFL event.
Lombardi's teams won the 1967 and 1968 contests but Lombardi didn't get to touch the Vince Lombardi Trophy given to the Super Bowl winner. The Super Bowl became the Super Bowl in 1969 and the championship trophy was named for Lombardi following his death in 1970.
In the decades following his Lombardi's passing, the Super Bowl became a uniquely American quasi-celebration/holiday. The Fourth of July is America's Birthday Party but the Super Bowl is American's excuse for a party. Supermarkets have Super sales for countless Super parties, but it wasn't always like this.
Back in 1967, it was just called the "World Championship Game, AFL vs. NFL." The game was held in the 94,000 seat Los Angeles Coliseum. The ticket prices were $12, $10 and $6. There were 33,000 empty seats. It was the last time a Super Bowl or the World Championship Game was not a sellout.
There were no parties, no weeklong football orgies. In fact, it wasn't until January 1973 when Super Bowl parties took on a different life. The Commissioner's Party was held on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California.
The first game was played on January 15, 1967 just 26 days after the final approval of the merger between the National Football League and the American Football League. CBS and NBC televised it using the same television feed but with different announcers. The networks charged $42,000 for a 30 second commercial. The two leagues had to put together a game in a hurry.
The two networks paid $9.5 million to televise the game.
The leagues couldn't even agree on which ball to use, so they compromised. When Green Bay was on offense, they used the Wilson "Duke" football. When Kansas City had the ball, they used the AFL sanctioned Spalding J5-V.
Today there is still that one feed, but the game is internationally televised. Cities bid for Super Bowls years in advance. Networks put up big money for regular season games so they could get the Super Bowl once every three years.
It's no longer NFL vs. AFL, NFL advertisers vs. AFL advertisers. CBS vs. NBC. In 1967, the American Football League and the Kansas City Chiefs were considered to be part of a "Mickey Mouse league" by Lombardi and the NFL. Lombardi was among those thinkers (a group which includes Wayne Gretzky. The hockey star used the same term in 1983 in a criticism of the New Jersey Devils) who felt that "Mickey Mouse" was a putdown.
Mickey Mouse launched the Disney empire and the trademark is worth billions globally. Lombardi was partially right using a Mickey Mouse reference back in the infancy of the Super Bowl. There is some irony in that the Walt Disney Company's ABC- TV division had the rights to broadcast the Super Bowl along with FOX and CBS under one of the past NFL-network television agreements.
Adding injury to insult, Lombardi and his Packers practiced in Southern California before the 1967 championship game not far from Disneyland because the NFL felt that was the best way to sell tickets to the contest The AFL was the Mickey Mouse league and not worthy of being on the same field as the NFL..
"He got a lot of pressure put on him by the other owners of the National Football League. That was a bitter relationship with the AFL and NFL," recalled Jerry Kramer, one of Lombardi's Packers offensive linemen. "I'm not sure there still aren't still some rivalries in that situation.
"Lombardi got calls from virtually everyone in the NFL saying we were
representing the NFL and the pride of the NFL and we couldn't be beaten."
Lombardi even had to deal with William Paley's CBS Television Network and NFL partner.
"I was talking to Frank Gifford years ago and he mentioned that he announced that first Super Bowl," Kramer continued. "Gifford said he was fairly cool, fairly calm and relaxed and we went over to put his arm on Vince's shoulder and Lombardi was shaking like a leaf.
"Gifford said that really made me nervous."
Gifford, of course, was the CBS announcer who played under Lombardi when Lombardi was the New York Giants offensive coach (in 2011 parlance, an offensive coordinator) in the 1950s and represented the NFL.
Neither CBS nor NBC bothered to keep a video of the game.
Green Bay won the matchup and Lombardi was able to exhale. But Lombardi was right in this sense. The NFL was the favored league of the sports media in those days with Tex Maule of Sports Illustrated leading the charge against the AFL. Green Bay won the first two championships and the football media dismissed the American Football League and players like Joe Namath and teams like the New York Jets, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders.
The flaw in the thinking was this. The AFL was signing players out of the same college pool as the NFL and the AFL coaches like Weeb Ewbank, Sid Gillman and Al Davis came out of the NFL. The AFL has had the same TV money available to them as the NFL thanks to David Sarnoff's anger at losing the NFL contract deal to his CBS rival William Paley. Sarnoff's NBC was the AFL's bank and the Sonny Werblin used some of Sarnoff's money to sign Namath.
The name Super Bowl came by accident and it came from Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, the man who founded the AFL because he could not get an NFL team in Dallas.
"It was one of the spur of the moment things," said Hunt. "No one ever said what are we going to call it? It was one of those things that just came out of the mouth. It was not too inspired."
Hunt was home one day watching his children play with a ball when he first uttered the words.
"They each had a Super Ball that my wife had given to them and they were always talking about them and I just used the expression Super Bowl and it was an accidental thing and it seems to have caught on."
But NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle didn't like the name nor did NFL owners. Still, the game had no name and no one had suggested anything else. In fact, there was no Super Bowl Committee. It was Rozelle's idea to call the contest, The AFL-NFL World Championship Game.
"Everybody said, that's a corny name," Hunt recalled. "But the members of the committee started using that name and one thing lead to another. After the second game, it was formally adopted."
But Hunt did talk to Rozelle, and Hunt the visionary who founded the AFL was very persuasive and Rozelle listened.
"Lamar talked to me after the first couple of games and told me his daughter had a funny ball, a toy. She'd bounce it. It was a super ball," remembered Pete Rozelle in September 1990. "He said why don't we call it the Super Bowl?
"Well to me, you know when I was in high school (in the 1940s), super was a big word. You know this was super, that was super. I thought that sounds a little corny, but then finally, I decided this was worth a shot and it course it has a totally different connotation when used on the game today. We decided to do it then, so we started calling it that and it really caught on."
Rozelle did not recall any formal discussion on the name. It just became the Super Bowl by 1969 despite the fact that he didn't really like the name.
As far as the Wham-O Super Ball? It's shelve life was considerably less than the Super Bowl. It was a toy made Zectron. Chemical Engineer Norma Stingley found that when formed at 50,000 pounds of pressure, Zectron becomes uncontrollably bouncy. Wham-O began producing a ball made of Zectron in 1967, the same year that Super Bowl I was played between the Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers. After only a few years, the "double-top secret" formula for Zectron was copied by Wham-O's competitors and the Super Ball floundered. The Super Ball was out of production by 1976.
Today the Super Bowl means millions of dollars for the airline industry, the hotel industry, the rent-a-car industry, the restaurant industry in the host city and the TV industry. The league uses the promise of awarding a game to a city if that town builds a new stadium. The Super Bowl is one of the few events that brings out of town money to a sporting event.
On January 12, 1969 the Jets- Baltimore Colts match up in Miami sold out just minutes before kickoff. The Jets victory that day might have been crushing for old line NFL owners, but even Rozelle in the NFL Publication, The Super Bowl, Celebrating a Quarter of a Century of America's Greatest Game, admitted the Jets upset that day mushroomed interest in football.
The Jets-Colts game was the turning point in the popularity of the Super Bowl. The National Football League and the most of the football media thought the old league would just be better all the time.
The New York Jets were the free spending rebels from the rebel league. New York quarterback Joe Namath had a large contract, wore long hair and played in white shoes. The Colts quarterbacks, Earl Morrall and Johnny Unitas both had crew cuts. Namath was known as Broadway Joe, a nickname given to him by former Colt and Jet offensive lineman Sherman Plunkett. Unitas was known as Johnny U and wore black high top shoes.
Namath had a public perception of being a playboy who enjoyed New York life to its fullest and was a braggart. Unitas had little to say.
While Ewbank was studying films of the Colts and analyzing why the Chiefs and Raiders lost, Namath was talking and was ahead of his time as a trash talk pioneer. Except Namath only said two things and was probably only echoing what his coaching staff and teammates were thinking.
Namath said there were four quarterbacks in the AFL who were better than Morrall, the Colts starter and then said, "We are going to win this game. I guarantee it."

COLOR COMMENTARY: Mike Murphy
DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire women's basketball returns to the confines of Lundholm Gymnasium to host the Binghamton University Bearcats on Sunday, Feb. 2 (1 p.m.) in its annual Play 4Kay game.
SCOUTING BINGHAMTON: The Bearcats enter Sunday's game with a 4-17 overall record and 1-7 in America East play. Binghamton looks to bounce back after losing its sixth straight game, a 65-54 home loss against UMass Lowell on Jan. 30.
Sophomore forward Morgan Murphy carried the offensive load for the Bearcats, notching a double-double with 22 points and 12 rebounds. Junior forward Sherae Swinson contributed eight points and eight rebounds in the loss. Additionally, senior guard Stephanie Jensen's eight assists helped facilitate Binghamton's offense.
Binghamton finished the contest with a .328 field goal percentage (22 of 67) compared to UMass Lowell's .393 (24 of 61) clip. The Bearcats struggled from beyond the arc, missing all 11 of their shot attempts.
Swinson has been Binghamton's most consistent scoring force this season. The junior has tallied 8.3 points per game while starting all 21 games. She also holds a team-high .778 free throw percentage and controls the boards with 5.2 rebounds per game. Jensen paces the Bearcats in 3-point field goal percentage with a .347 clip and averages 5.8 ppg.
Vaneeshia Paulk (8.3 ppg) and Morgan Murphy (7.9 ppg) have also given the team an offensive spark.

VIDEO: SlingBox SlingPlayer coming for Windows Phone 7
It's not all bad news for Windows Phone 7. The launch may have been less well received than Microsoft would have liked, but Pocket-lint expects the new phone OS to be something of a slow burner. Certainly, with apps such as Sling Media's SlingPlayer coming to the platform, it'll seem more and more attractive as time goes on.
And judging by the demonstration video that's popped up on the net, the new WP7-toting devices seem to play the slung TV video very well, very well indeed.
Of course, it'll take more than just remote hook-up to home entertainment kit to get the masses to give Windows Phone 7 a try, especially as SlingPlayer is already available on other platforms, but at least it shows the commitment from third party developers and manufacturers to support MS in its current quest for global domination.
Will Windows Phone 7 get the numbers? Let us know in the comments below...
- SlingPlayer for Android: Out now
- SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone goes 3G
- Windows Phone 7: The UK's early adopter

Dance with Class
CHRISTINA SELLS —artist, designer, and animation veteran of Will Vinton Studios—runs a lakeside apartment complex. But by night, she dances, sometimes as a body-shaking percussionist with the Lions of Batucada marching samba band, other times flitting in a single night from a tango class to the dance floor in front of a Balkan band. It's easy, she says. In Portland, there's a veritable United Nations of dance classes readily available (for a guide, try portlanddancing.com). For Sells, it's about endorphins, meeting people, and avoiding the gym. Uncertain about your moves? Follow Sells's advice: start with the music you like, then learn the dances that go with it.
Begin with the basics: Learn to do a couple-based style like the East Coast Swing (a choreographed dance to do with a partner), the Lindy Hop (fast-paced jitterbugging), or cha-cha from Rachel Lidskog (2dancewithjoy.com) or Susan Molitor (susanmolitor.net). Both are premier teachers who are great with newcomers.
Folkloric dance: Center Space Studio, a warm and slightly funky space, offers dynamic classes in Cuban, Brazilian, and African, plus hip-hop-inspired krump, popping and locking, and house. Owner Donna Oefinger is high-energy and highly knowledgeable. 420 SE Sixth Ave; centerspaceportland.com
Argentine tango: This dance style requires cultlike devotion, and Portland—one of the country's tango meccas—has plenty of it. Get hooked with a class at Tango Berretín from tango guru Alex Krebs, a "young genius known in tango communities around the world," says Sells.

Get Hooked on Hootenanny
SARAH DOUGHER is the ringleader of Portland's Flash Choir, a DIY community organizer, and a gender studies teacher at Portland State. Nate Overmeyer is an in-demand Generation X fundraiser, working to endow a chair at OHSU and for local institutions like the Portland Art Museum. But together, they are the Stumptown Family Ramblers, an occasional down-home hootenanny group founded last summer. The duo's mutual love of old-timey music and its sing-along traditions, combined with Portland's percolating alt folk/bluegrass/roots scene, became an unsquelchable urge to start a band and connect with a growing scene of local musicians, recordings, and concerts. But you don't need to be a pro picker to have a hootenanny—as Overmeyer says, "Anyone can shake a tambourine."
Go: If you're hankerin' to hear some fine pickin' and singin', look no further than the cozy confines of Laurelthirst Public House. Settle in to a well-worn seat, sip on one of 20 or so local beers on tap, and enjoy Portland's best new and veteran folk groups. 2958 NE Glisan St; laurelthirst.com
Listen: With acoustic instrumentation and deep roots in bluegrass and folk, the new quintet Black Prairie was founded by three members of Portland's critically acclaimed Decemberists. Check out their debut album, Feast of the Hunters' Moon, and catch them (and other premier Northwest indie roots artists) at Pickathon, August 6–8. blackprairie.com; pickathon.com
Get outfitted: Before heading out to a show, dude up at a local landmark: the Portland Outdoor Store, a rough-around-the-edges emporium jam-packed with Sta-Prest jeans, snap shirts, string ties and hand-stitched boots. Its building alone—one of the city's oldest—is a tour of Portland's hootenanny history. 304 SW Third Ave; 503-222-1051
Sample Local Music
WHEN KGW WEATHERMAN Matt Zaffino's head isn't filled with Doppler radar readings, it's bobbing in cramped rock clubs, fitted with headphones jacked to deafening levels, or otherwise lost in a sea of rock-'n'-roll fantasies. "My ultimate rock-star fantasy is being the road manager for Chan Marshall," Zaffino says. A staunch advocate for the past 22 years of Portland's ever-abundant music scene, Zaffino has used his local celebrity status to host in-home concerts by little-known acts like Jim Brunberg, Tracy Grammer, Stacey Earle, and Sneakin' Out. But even though his on-screen persona demands eyes free of red and bleariness, he's still not afraid to brave the clubs—whether cozy or cavernous—in search of the next big thing.
Best place to see a new band: For new acts, Zaffino heads to Mississippi Studios. "The acoustics are good," he says, "but what I really like is that everybody's thrown together." 3939 N Mississippi Ave. mississippistudios.com
Favorite local band: "I'm a big fan of Thomas Lauderdale, so I like pretty much anything Pink Martini does," Zaffino says. "I've worked with Thomas a couple of times, and he's just fantastic. But I gotta say: I'm becoming a Storm (Large) fan."
Local album you should own (that you probably haven't heard of): Little Sue Weaver's The Long Goodbye. "The title song is about a breakup. It's this sad and poignant and just goes somewhere for me. It hits the spot," says Zaffino, who's a fan of Weaver's other projects, too. "A few years back she put together this collaboration with all these different Portland musicians at Fez Ballroom, and they performed Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' It was probably one of my favorite musical moments ever." littlesue.com

No. 15 Kansas Jayhawks at No. 8 Missouri Tigers
- Updated: February 28, 2009
NCAA Betting Preview
No. 15 Kansas Jayhawks (23-5) at No. 8 Missouri Tigers (24-4)
Sunday, 2:00PM Eastern
Bookmaker.com betting line –
The battle in the Big 12 is shaping out to be a dandy of a race. The Oklahoma Sooners appeared to be the dominant team in the conference before losing their last two straight games probably caused by the loss of superstar Blake Griffin. The No. 15 Kansas Jayhawks now sit on top of the standings in the conference one game ahead of both Oklahoma and Missouri. The no. 8 Missouri Tigers have kind of quietly sneaked into the picture and are putting together a great season. Missouri has a tough back to back scenario as they host Kansas and then will take the road to play Oklahoma in two games that will determine how the Big 12 regular season title shapes out. The Tigers could get everyone back to two losses in the conference if they could come up with a big win at home against Kansas on Sunday.
Kansas lost to the Tigers earlier this season in a close exciting game 62-60. The loss was the only ugly mark on the Jayhawks schedule over the past two months as they have won 12 of their last 13 games. Kansas could control their own destiny with a win over Missouri on Sunday considering they own the head to head battle with Oklahoma. Kansas could get some revenge from their earlier meeting with Missouri this season and put a strangle hold on the conference all in one showing this Sunday. The Jayhawks are averaging 77.4 points per game on the season led by junior guard Sherron Collins. Collins ranks 4th individually in the Big 12 scoring 18.3 points per game and is coming fresh off a big 26 point performance in the Jayhawks win over Oklahoma. Amazingly, Kansas out rebounded Missouri 42-26 in the last meeting despite the losing effort and they simply need more scorers to step forward this Sunday.
Missouri has one of the most potent offenses in the country. The Tigers rank 5th in scoring offense averaging 82.6 points per game on the season. Missouri is led by two seniors at the forward position on the inside. Leo Lyons and DeMarre Carroll lead the Tigers posting double figure averages. Lyons has posted 14.3 points per game this season while Carroll is averaging 17.1 points per game. The two standouts are also posting 7 rebounds each per night and they will need to be strong against the glass Sunday. In the last meeting, Missouri speedy defense posted a lot of problems for Kansas. The Tigers posted an outstanding 26 turnovers in the game while recording 14 steals in the contest. The Missouri aggressive defense will need a similar performance this Sunday if they want to continue to surprise people in the conference and around the nation.
What to watch for…
Keep you eye on the glass game. Both teams shot very poorly in their last meeting. However Kansas completely dominated the boards, but simply could not make any shots. Look for things to be a bit different this time and bank on Kansas knocking down a few more shots compared to the 41% shooting from the floor and 2-15 (15%) shooting from behind the arc in the last meeting.

Kenyan clubs in the ongoing Africa Club championship posted mixed results in the event in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe on Sunday. Strathmore girls side known as Scorpions lost to 2-1 to Ghanaian side Custom Ladies in their opening match.
Strathmore were outplayed by the Ghanaians who took a quick two-goal lead with skipper Laura Gichau scoring the consolation goal for the Kenyan side five minutes from the end
Gichau said lack of experience was their major undoing in the match. "It's our first major tournament and we are up against good sides. I believe if we play more tournaments of this calibre we can be competitive," she added.
Gichau was optimistic that the team can snatch at least a win in the tournament. "We are hungry for victory and want to prove that we are not just making up the numbers," added Gichau.
Strathmore drew their opening match 1-1 with Kenyan champions Orange. Telkom went on to draw their second match against Heartland of Nigeria 1-1.
Telkom coach Jos Openda said the side must be more clinical in front of the goal if they harbour any chance of qualifying for the semis. "We dominated the game but we are not converting our chances. We must be sharper in front of goal if we are to progress to the semis," added Openda
He said the experience in the side will give them good chance of qualification to the semis. "We have a very experienced team and I am confident we will qualify for the semis," he noted.
Strathmore must win their final match against Reformers Ladies of Ghana tomorrow if they harbour any hopes of qualification to the semifinals. Telkom have a date with Custom ladies of Ghana funds.
All the Kenyan men's teams that qualified for the championship did not travel to Zimbabwe. Kenya Police, who booked their ticket last year, having clinched the domestic league and Strathmore University who finished second all failed to travel to the games due to lack of money.

Leach Calls Wazzu Seniors 'Zombie-Like'
Kansas' Charlie Weis is not the only FBS coach apparently fed up with his seniors and willing to express it.
At his weekly press conference on Monday, Washington State's Mike Leach was asked about the veteran leadership on his team, which sits at 2–4.
"Some of them have been great and some of them have been poor," Leach said. "Some of them have had this zombie-like, go-through-the-motions, that's how it's always been and that's how it'll always be."
"Some of them, quite honestly, have an empty-corpse quality."
Ouch. And it's not just talk to fire his upperclassmen up. USA Today's Paul Myerberg says that this week's projected starting lineup against Cal features only three seniors.
Time will tell if Wazzu's seniors get the message and wake up from their stupor.

{{ BackToPage("Accessibility:AT-APIs\/Gecko/Interfaces", "Gecko AT Interfaces") }}
nsIAccessible interface is a cross-platform interface that supports platform-specific accessibility APIs like MSAA and ATK. Contains the sum of what's needed to support
IAccessible as well as ATK's generic accessibility objects.
Can also be used by in-process accessibility clients to get information about objects in the accessible tree. The accessible tree is a subset of nodes in the DOM tree -- such as documents, focusable elements and text. Mozilla creates the implementations of
nsIAccessible on demand.
[scriptable, uuid=(c7520419-87ec-42bc-98cc-04c0bf173530)] interface nsIAccessible : nsISupports { ... };

The following emergency evacuation description is written primarily to inform faculty, staff, and students of the procedures for assisting students with disabilities in the event of an emergency. However, a student with a disability must take personal responsibility for his/her own safety. Read and review this information and know what is expected in each classroom, building, and residence hall in case of an alarm.
Ground Floor On a ground level floor, persons with physical disabilities should evacuate via accessible exits along with the other occupants of the building.
Above or Below Ground Floor Campus police should be notified immediately if there is a person with a mobility impairment on an above or below ground floor. It is preferable to call 765-285-1111 (instead of 911) because it connects to campus police directly.
Individuals with Mobility Impairments Because elevators should not be used for evacuation during a fire alarm, persons with mobility impairments will need assistance in evacuating unless they are on a ground floor with accessible exits. As persons with mobility impairments have varying degrees of impairments, information is offered for two possible scenarios.
Ambulatory Persons with mobility impairments who are able to walk independently, either with or without the use of crutches or a cane, may be able to negotiate stairs in an emergency situation with minor assistance. Even some persons who customarily use a wheelchair or scooter for long distance travel may be able to walk independently in an emergency situation. If danger is imminent and the person is able to walk down stairs with some assistance, it is advisable that he/she wait until the heavy traffic has cleared before attempting to evacuate. Someone should walk beside him/her to provide assistance, if needed. If it is apparent that there is no immediate danger (obvious smoke or fire), the person may choose to stay in the building until emergency personnel arrive and determine the necessity to evacuate. In situations of false alarm or a small, isolated fire, evacuation of persons with mobility impairments may not be necessary at all; however, this decision should be made only by qualified emergency personnel. If emergency personnel determine there is a need to evacuate a person, trained rescue workers will assist in the evacuation. Someone should alert emergency personnel as to the location of the individual if that person chooses to wait in the building. Note: Persons on respirators should be given priority assistance in emergencies involving smoke or fumes because their ability to breathe is seriously jeopardized.
Non-AmbulatoryEvacuation of non-ambulatory persons is much more complicated than that of others. In keeping with current philosophy and preference to "stay in place," the most recent advice from fire and campus safety experts is that unless danger is imminent, a wheelchair user should remain in a room until emergency rescue personnel arrive and determine the necessity for evacuation. If evacuation is not possible, immediately call campus police at 765-285-1111 to alert emergency personnel of the location so the evacuation can be completed. When possible, someone should remain in the facility with the person with the disability. If a non-ambulatory person chooses to evacuate (and if appropriate assistance is available) ask how he/she can best be assisted or moved, and whether there are any special considerations or items that need to come with the person. Again, in case of a false alarm or a small, isolated fire, it may not be necessary to risk a complicated evacuation—but only qualified emergency personnel should make such a decision.In the event of immediate danger (e.g., fire, smoke, etc.) it is advisable for the wheelchair user to move horizontally within the facility to a safer area. Go to a room with an exterior window and telephone, and wait (with the doors closed) for the rescue personnel to arrive. Only in situations of extreme danger should untrained people attempt to manually evacuate wheelchair users. Doing so may involve dangers of its own, especially if there is limited assistance or if multiple floors are involved. There is additional risk if the person has quadriplegia with limited neck, arm, and trunk control; if spasticity is a factor; or if apparatuses such as respirators, catheters, etc. are involved. It is never safe to move someone by lifting a wheelchair down the stairs. Wheelchairs can be extremely heavy, and have many moveable parts and vulnerable points that are not constructed to withstand the stress of lifting. Again, while it is best to let professional emergency personnel (firefighters with oxygen equipment) conduct the evacuation, a person with a mobility limitation can be carried by two people who have interlocked their arms to form a "chair," or by carrying the person in a sturdy office chair in the case of extreme emergency. Note: The person with the disability is the best authority about how to be moved.
Individuals with Vision ImpairmentsMost persons with vision impairments should be familiar with their immediate surroundings. In the event of an emergency, tell the person with a vision impairment the nature of the emergency and offer to guide the person to the nearest emergency exit. Have the person take your elbow and escort him or her out of the building. As you walk, tell the person where you are and advise of any obstacles. When you reach safety, orient the person to where he/she is and ask if any further assistance is needed.
Individuals who are Deaf or Hard of HearingSome persons who are deaf or hard of hearing may not perceive audio emergency alarms and will need to be alerted to the situation by gestures or by turning the light switch off and on. Emergency instructions can be given by verbalizing or mouthing, or by a short, explicit note. Example: Fire alarm! Go out south doors now! It is appropriate to offer assistance to a deaf or hard of hearing person as you leave the building.

Inside a one-story structure in a knot of North Laurel warehouses, the Newseum Support Center does business in low-profile fashion.
Don't, however, dismiss its lack of curb appeal. Within its walls is a rich and vibrant stash of artifacts that collectively retell journalism's quirky, melodramatic back story.
The facility, just south of Route 1 and Whiskey Bottom Road, functions as the go-to arm of the Newseum, the glassy and gleaming edifice midway between the White House and the Capitol. The Support Center is where centuries' worth of news, information and tangible remnants gleaned from the trenches are painstakingly archived. And it is where events that carve deep impressions are distilled into exquisitely wrought exhibits that dazzle the senses. The popular museum devotes its seven floors to tracking print and electronic news -- how a story is hatched, the way it is reported, written, edited and circulated to a waiting audience.
The towering main exterior wall is enshrined with words from the First Amendment. Since its move in 2008 from across the Potomac River in Arlington, Va., to much larger quarters in Washington, visitors have it all at their fingertips: galleries, theaters, retail shops and visitors services. (Coming in November: costumes and artifacts from the 2004 movie "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," starring Will Ferrell.) The Newseum's owner, The Freedom Forum, is a nonpartisan foundation whose mission is to promote the cause of "free speech, free press and free spirit for all people.
A significant part of the work required to fill the 250,000-square-foot facility in the district takes place behind the scenes, 20 miles up Interstate 95 in Laurel.
The North Laurel facility played a key role in the Newseum's latest exhibit unveiled in November. Called "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," it includes a treasure trove of costumes and props from the 2004 box-office smash starring Will Ferrell.
"The better part of things were constructed in the Support Center," said Carrie Christoffersen, the Newseum's curator and director of collections. "The bulk of it came apart, trucked down and reassembled."
The North Laurel location "is critical," Christoffersen said. "It's the center for all fabrication that goes on."
'You don't want to get it wrong'
Late on a Friday afternoon at the Support Center, library manager Rick Mastroianni was busy making sense of the media profession and the role the Newseum plays in adding perspective to the news — what one publisher famously labeled "the first rough draft of history."
By allowing intellectual drippings from the Fourth Estate to marinate, he was better equipped to do his job: to clarify the experience for the legion of visitors who descend daily in the news capital of the free world. It's a task, he declared, he never tires of.
"We all care deeply about the work we are doing," he said. "It's fun to do. It resonates with people, and it has all the ingredients of a great story."
Mastroianni explained his role in the gargantuan operation is to serve inside staff. A big chunk of his duties — one that regularly takes him downtown to sit in on writers' meetings — is to fact-check the information on the scripts that appear with exhibits. Unlike an editor on deadline who, at times, can catch and copy edit an error, applying the same process for an exhibit is a different animal.
"It's a very expensive process," Mastroianni said. "You don't want to get it wrong and have to redo it. ... We're conceptualizing what will go up in 2014, 2015. It depends on the scale and scope."
While the Support Center doesn't permit visitors, Mastroianni said he will field the occasional phone call from a documentary producer foraging for video footage. "I help them as I can, but generally I just steer them in the right direction," he said.
Beyond the carrels, in a nearby office space, Kathryn Wilmot, the curatorial specialist, carefully sorts out front pages of newspapers that document the April 15 bombing of the Boston Marathon. One headline, built in a giant font, screams out "Terror at the Finish Line." She tends to both the traditional print editions and the digital presentation.
"Each newspaper that comes in gets its own cataloging number," she said. "There's a big push to use primary sources." In an era in which news is churned out in a frenetic 24-hour news cycle, Wilmot also is required to keep abreast of the news summaries from CNN and other information providers. Going online and scouring the daily front pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post also helps her infuse context into national and global events.
Wilmot tends to a collection that reaches back to 1493 with an important tome.
"It's called Incunabula, the Nuremberg Chronicle," she said. "It's basically the history of the world." The book was purchased at auction, but the lion's share of the Newseum's treasury comes from donations from the general public.
Hands down, she said, the most frequent questions she fields deal with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Medal of Honor (Airborne) is it worth playing???
Was wondering if this game is worth spending some free time on...
CONS: They really screwed up with MOHA. Most people I know are crying for the loss of thier $50 -you can pick it up WAY cheap on ebay now as everyone scrambles to reclaim some of thier lost $$$.
Having said that, the DEMO was really cool...but from what I'm told it didn't pan out so well for the multi player (which is why my friends bought it in the first place). They released it too early, without working out the MP issues. So for months they were not able to open up the MP...thats when most lost interest in the game. Then COD4 came out and blew the doors off MOHA.
PROS: I have heard that the single player game is really cool, with all the new types of surroundings in greece and the last level where you take on the German "FlaK Towers". So if you can pick it up on the cheap, it might be a good way to waste some time.

How to put a Mustang on the Empire State building
Want to drop Ford's drop-top pony car on the 82nd floor? Here's how

Get some Mustang convertibles
Pray silence for the two Mustangs sacrificed for this project. But don't worry, they were doomed anyway. Well, one was.
The first Mustang shell was taken from the factory line, and chopped up into the six pieces designed by the CAD team to check everything fitted in the mocked-up lift.
The second was a craftsmanship buck, which is a rough body that the engineers use to work out how to package stuff like drivetrains and window motors. After sorting out the wonky panel gaps and surface imperfections, it was painted to show-car standard in Ford Triple Yellow before going under the knife.
