By John McMullen, NFL Editor
(Sports Network) - A pair of teams still searching for their first preseason win square off in western Pennsylvania on Saturday when the Pittsburgh Steelers play host to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Ben Roethlisberger threw for 66 yards on 5-of-6 passes Monday, while Jonathan Dwyer gained 68 yards on 14 carries for a Pittsburgh offense that saw rookie running back Le'Veon Bell go down with a foot injury during a 24-13 loss to the Washington Redskins.
Bell appears unlikely to be ready for the start of the upcoming regular season due to the injury. Head coach Mike Tomlin revealed Wednesday that the team is awaiting the results of a second opinion on Bell's ailing right foot but NFL.com reported that the Steelers are concerned that the 2013 second-round pick may have a Lisfranc injury which could require surgery.
"Le'Veon had his MRI on Tuesday, and we are still awaiting final diagnosis and results of a second opinion," said Tomlin. "He will not participate this weekend against the Kansas City Chiefs, and I will provide an update once we have received the official results of his tests over the next couple of days."
The Chiefs, meanwhile, fell to 0-2 in the Andy Reid era, dropping a 15-13 decision to the San Francisco 49ers on Friday of last week.
Alex Smith led the Chiefs to a pair of scoring drives against his former team, but B.J. Daniels hit fellow rookie Chuck Jacobs with the go-ahead touchdown pass with 2:02 left in the game, to boost San Francisco to victory.
Smith, who spent the previous eight seasons with San Francisco after being taken with the No. 1 overall pick out of Utah in 2005, was traded to the Chiefs after the 2012 season. He completed 7-of-16 passes for 62 yards in playing the entire first half.
Quintin Demps returned a kickoff 104 yards for a TD in the first quarter for the Chiefs, who got field goals of 47 and 23 yards from Ryan Succop in the first half.
Backup QB Chase Daniel completed all six of his passes for 51 yards for Kansas City.
The Chiefs and Steelers have split two previous meetings in preseason play. The last time the clubs met prior to the regular season was in 1997 when Pittsburgh visited Arrowhead Stadium and won the contest 28-14.

The double-think involved in comparing orthodox with complementary medicine is so blatant I am surprised no one else appears to have noticed.
Almost any article comparing the two mentions the placebo effect in such a way as to imply that individuals may be subject to it, if they claim a cure from complementary medicine, to a greater degree than would be the case with orthodox medicine.
If this is true, then why have individuals who have been faithfully trying orthodox medicine for months or years not been cured by the placebo effect? And yet a sceptical visit to a homeopath yields results.

I joined years ago for a similar reason, got deployed, forgot about my account. I can't seem to find a listing of members who want to play co-op with people who are old enough to enjoy a drink and share a bed with their loved one.
Just tried playing with a random friend and wound up playing with a 9 yr old for 30 minutes. It just feels wrong, as I spent more time in the military than this kid had been alive. Having recently finished the single player storyline, I'm looking to play through the co-op. Does anyone know how or where to go to build up some friends my age, or where to find an index of players that don't sound like some mysterious cross between a toddler and a swearing sailor? I guess message me if you want to play co-op sometime.
The 9 yr old was surprisingly polite, I'm guessing his mom is letting him play Portal 2 because there isn't any gore. I cracked up when he got upset and said "This frigging sucks! I died again! Sorry." While it was cute, after answering some fundamental questions as to why the "computer was testing us, obviously the portals work" that the test is our ability to solve the puzzle, I was a bit disturbed that I unwittingly assisted in the raising of a 9 yr old. Made me wonder whether parents should be a bit more cognizant of how online gaming works. This kid could have been playing with some disenchanted bad influence and his mother never would have known.

In the spirit of the UNILAG VS MAULAG upheaval, I tried to maintain a creative sanity amongst the set of people I lead to the protest ground and I always tried to make them know why and what exactly we were fighting for so that we didn't say jargons to the press or make any frivolous mistake at all, I tried to make sure that we didn't spleen our vents to the wrong quarters and cause further havoc, but sadly enough, in the spirit of this logic am sorry to say, a vast majority of my colleagues that I encountered gave very inane and unintelligent reasons for joining the protest - for example some said 'the name no sweet for ear' 'dem no fit they call me maulite'.
Even though the name change was going to follow an ego-complex and a dent of psyche, that wasn't supposed to be the reason to trek from abule-oja/ school gate to the third-mainland bridge- shouting, clamouring, singing, acting, carrying placards and momentarily hindering people from getting to their workplaces to time. No! some of us actually lost it. I tried to correct such opinions as much as possible by constructing BC's on BBM and giving everybody cogent facts and statistics to digest per time.
But If it pleases you to know that, Nigerians have this special gift of focusing on the rave of the moment, they tirade and rant about issues as they are heating up, immediately another gruesome event unfolds they change focus like an impending earthquake and they begin to rant again. The dana airplane crash has taken its turn, oga farouk lawan and otedola are still having the spotlight. What is next?.
I realised the name change though it may be a form of honour it still had so many critical technical hitches- one of which, he disturbed the rest of the dead soul, our vice chancellor had gone to rest with the lord some weeks before these whole wahala started and the whole school was in a intelligent state of mourning and president jonathan decided to look for trouble because he was bored. Apparently, this declaration was definitely going to follow a protest and a critical disapproval from every sane human involved and uninvolved. But why not wait till the dead is laid to rest? Such a decision is a key factor for a so-called 'sensitive' administration.
My vitriol exploded when I realised the senate had suggested that the controversial MKO be named after the national stadium. Others suggested the Aso rock or villa or whatever, the eagles square et al, some said a day should be dedicated for him just like martin luther king's, those are beautiful options but I thought out something again, MalcolmX of the united states is the face of their stamp and generations after generations are still using it, inquisitive youths are trying to research increasingly why he is the face of the stamp though, thereby remembering him in decorum. This could also be a path to resurrect NIPOST. But GEJ is not ready to work or think! The NIPOST is not even part of his 'unrealistic transformation' project.
It keeps lingering in my mind, How much will cost to change letter head, envelopes and other print works with unilag on it? There are also sign posts, car posters website certificates and also official notifications to relevant agencies? Let us not forget the enterprises the university set up to generate revenue- UNILAG consult, UNILAG ventures- they all have to change name, documents and labels. Any idea of the cost? I heard a particular 1billion was released for the entirety of the name change but come to think of it somebody incompetent would have been pencilled down by the PDP as a beneficiary for this contract, it is his turn to eat from the national cake, when the bakers are wallowing in unimaginable poverty. that's the country that we live in, we misplace priorities on a steady basis.
Such funds could be diverted to reasonable projects but the truth is we are only going to be told it has been diverted, we will never see the outcomes.
Finally finally my school has resumed anyway and The typical UNILAG morning is emerging -where everyone you encounter has a lecture for 8am (whether true or not), where the cab driver doesn't wait for all the passengers to alight before he engages the gear to rapidly pick up students from the long queues wherever, the 'phone call & recharge card' clausal-noise blaring in your ears from those who have taken it as a source of livelihood, girls and guys looking beautiful and handsomein elegant outfits preparing for the 'toasting' that will emerge in the evening.
The average evening is also taking its turn when the smoke of the chicken & chips sellers won't give you rest, girls clinging to guys at several locations as they order the sharwarma seller to serve them varieties, girls and guys holding themselves at the love garden, where everyone is holding something assorted, Oppressing-automobiles trooping in cavalcade to pick selected girls in bikini and sultry leggings or juggins. I need to stop here.
At least , the federal high court ikeja has declared that the name remains, so we are on course, we are making progress. GREAT AKOKITE !!!!!!!

On checking strace of this event I can clearly see vim read in the
~/.vim/syntax/c.vim file then read in the system provided one ... however
after making some changes to my local copy I'm certain the local one
is overriding the system one.
It seems to be wasteful to load both... and even then why doesn't seem
like it should load the system files second.

PARIS: General elections in Tunisia should be held as soon as possible, "maybe before March" as currently planned, Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali said Sunday.
"I do hope that the new constitution will be ready in October," Jebali, who is the moderate Islamist Ennahda party's number two, told French media.
"We need this constitution," he said, adding that those involved in drawing up the new charter should speed up the process.
Jebali said elections had been announced for March 2013, but added: "sooner would be better".
He had told AFP on June 1 that the vote would be held around March 20 or 21.
A constituent assembly elected in October is currently working on a new constitution for the north African country, which led the way in the Arab Spring uprisings with the ouster of longtime dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011.
Questioned on the greater visibility in Tunisia's post-revolutionary society of fundamentalist Salafist Muslims, Jebali said: "These people have not arrived from another planet.
"They have arrived from deep inside Tunisia. They express what the Tunisian people think. Islamists, socialists exist because they have found an ideological void and a social and economic context."
Salafists are widely seen as instigating violent clashes that have recently shaken the country, and Jebali has called on the group to respect the rules of democracy.
More than 140 people, mostly Salafists, were arrested and charged with attacking police posts and torching a Tunis courthouse during riots earlier this month, after Salafists took issue with artworks at a Tunis exhibition they deemed offensive to Islam.
The exhibition featured a painting of a naked woman with bearded men standing behind her and a work spelling the world "Allah" with a file of ants.
"We are asking them why they would want to work outside the law," said the prime minister. "There is no more discrimination now. You can have your party, you can have your newspaper. If you have ideas that will convince the Tunisians, go ahead."
But he added: "They are wrong... because they want to impose their views through violence in a democratic and free society."

Thats the hard core PvPer I am talking about!!!!

Matt frior said in some video "no arena, no battlegrounds, we want pvpers to focus on cyrodil" , also some stuff about it being pointless as there's a stack of mmos, mobas, arena games like smite etc.. doing the same thing. With ava they have less competition, just gw2 and ps2 (and cu in a few years)

Actually we don't. I played in the Emerald Dream WOW RP/PVP server for many years... and I played DAoC before that for several years too. WOW open world PvP was a POS gankfest that consisted of max level stealthers ganking low-level "carebears" at quest hubs...sort of like a duel when only one of you knew you were dueling.
It was really rare to find anything other than one vs. one ganking... even in the "glorious" vanilla WOW days. It went downhill from there. About the only organized group PvP that exists now is the weekly raid to go kill the boss of the opposing cities and get your reward mount. And people trying to organize that usually have to spam the trade channel for an hour or more to get enough people that don't already have the mount and want to do it.
WOW open world PvP was to DAoC RvR like masturbation is to real sex. Mind you, some people do seem to prefer the former. I think the Brits have a term for that.

I like daoc & both planetsides
But its not the most hardcore pvp style ive played, that would be eve & perpetuum.
And then stuff like DF is even more hardcore than that.
These people who think vanilla wow pvp servers were the hardest of hardcore though. Well its amusing. It's like your 10 year old nephew thinking he's a gangsta rapper or something.

ShakyMo, I think I'm not alone in having to make comprimises. Perhaps there is something in this game you'd rather not have but still you decide to play it because it's the best choice available to you that you've found?
I love pvp formost and often dont pve in games where I dont need to. I've leveled through pvp in games (rift, SWTOR) that allowed me to do so without pve. Warhammer:wrath of heroes had some good things about it. It was only pvp. It had collision detection. It rewarded positional attacks when wearing a certain rune. IT WAS ALSO FREE =D
As I posted earlier, collision detection and positional attacks are important to me.
You're right in that I've made comprimises and I've played games that dont have full loot which I call carebear. If I made zero compromises in what I want in a pvp game, I'd be playing nothing :(
Don't you cast that "no comprimise" first stone just because you found a game that gives you everything you want. You lucky dog, you. I hate you! =D

You believe this because you look at MMO's differently than I do. My first MMO was Ultima Online. I believe in a world that can immerse you. A world you can live in, make friends, build homes, and take pride in. To do these things for me, a game has to have the right systems to make sense.
It's clear that you are less of a RPG'er, and more of a gamer. You care less for immersion and things that make sense. You focus more on what systems make the best game, rather than the best immersive world.
You want to know the biggest difference between us? My preferred game will keep me happy for five years +. Yours will keep you happen for a year if you are lucky.
There are ways to compromise, to make mostly everyone happy and also makes sense to the IP. I'm the type of person who searches for those things, you are not.
And I've only once, in my 20 years of gaming been flagged for PvP when I didn't want to be. That was my fault as I was macro'ing AFK while sleeping. Something I have no interest in doing again. You could never make me flag if I didn't want to. I can't speak for others, but I can speak for myself.

Just because a game features RvR (or in TESO's vernacular AvA) doesn't make it any less an open world PvP game.
There are several defintions.
Open World (features anywhere and zoned) either all the time or flagging
Instanced (relegated to queuing for closed battlegrounds)
TESO's PvP occurs in the world, just not in the whole world therefor it still remains World PvP, but because PvP is consentual without flagging it limits the activity to certain zones.
Originally posted by Iselin
Then leave the area, as there were several areas for you to level in. One of the best things Blizzard did with their world was creating multiple areas to level in. They protected the possibility to gank by allowing those players to level in multiple areas. I've never had a problem with this. Either I went to another area or I left for ten minutes, as they were always gone when I returned.
I used my rogue to gank groups of two, thee and four on a regular basis. I didn't do it for the sake of it, as I was protecting my mob spawn. So while some people did it to feel strong by killing lower level people, I did it to feel strong by killing multiple people with a comparable level to my own.
Though I get it, most people aren't like me.
Ultimately, I was talking about their flagging system, not their open world PvP. Which you would have known if you actually read my post instead of taking one simple line out of context. Though, also, most people don't know how to read either.

I haven't done anything of the sort since then. I stopped playing after about 5 years, so it's been well over a decade since.

I love how so many of you are ignoring the success of DAOC, or maybe you never played it.
So many games have tried to recreate the RvR, and it looks like TESO might pull it off.
I cant wait!

So far off the mark. I started with PnP and got into games like EQ1 to RP and the gamer in me loved it as well. WoW style PvP is not my style. I like to be able to see that my PvP impacts the game and thats what ESO is heading for. Sure PvP happens only on one massive map, so big it will feel like open world. You have dungeons to fight over that will control who gets the best loot in their mega-dungeon (much like DAoC Darkness falls) but there is quest hubs to fight over and the main City itself. You need to not just control keeps and castles but also the resources around them. ESO AvA PvP is much deeper then most games PvP system. If its 75% of what DAoC was... it will be the best PvP game on the market now. If only EA had not bought out Mythic and hacked apart that company, I would still be playing DAoC today.

I believe in life before death... So dont forget to enjoy it while you still can.
Please read up on the facts before posting nonsense like this.... 1/4 th of the open world is PvP... with the asumed size of TESO being twice the size of any previously released MMO (at release) you can asume the PvP areas to be huge... you´ll never have to leave them.
The only thing that we dont have in TESO is a full world of ffa PvP... and ganking in every possible corner that comes with such settings.
Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)

Open world full loot PvP would be epic fail for this game. No world PvP is the only way to try for a hugely popular game in 2013.
I already have games that pretty much cover what I want.
I'm currently playing ps2, which is very nearly right for pvp. Just needs a bit more strategy like ps1 and daoc, but its heading in the right direction.
Then I'm also thinking about going back to eve again. Which is fantastic for pvp and crafting.
Then there's cu in a few years which should be good for pvp and crafting.
The only thing in not fond of in current mmos is the pve. I could really do with a game with early EQ / daoc style pve OR ac style pve. Currently I play single player and coop games for pve as they do pve so much better than post wow mmos.

They could strive to make a full proof flag system that wouldn't flag you with tricks. I dont know, maybe things like you can't heal a player that's engaged in pvp unless you flag yourself or area damage wont damage another player that's flagged unless youre flagged yourself. That sort of thing.
I'm not sure that a flag system is what I'd personally want but perhaps it could work for others.
Daoc was fun during that time but shadowbane came out when Daoc was going strong and I moved to that and it was way more fun for me personally. I can't tell you what fun I had as a thief stealing from others in that game. Great entertainment value

No its not. Not everyone likes open world PvP. My wife and I play together and as much as I love PvP at almost any moment my wife hates it. Matter of fact in WoW when she was flag she would gate to town and wait out the 5 min flag. She is a pure PvEer at heart and she is not alone. This game brings balance with a huge map for PvPers to do their thing and a large game space for PvEers to do theirs. You want random PvP when you are questing, this game has that on the AvA map. Want to run a dungeon with the fear another factions team is doing the same thing around any corner, this game has that. Want a wicked awesome dungeon that you have to fight over the rights to enter with some of the best loot in the game, this game has that as well. Want objective based PvP where you fight over keeps and castles, again this game has it. It really is the best of both worlds.

Valley City has been hearing from increasing numbers of potential buyers of an architecturally significant house on Fifth Ave. SW that some people call the Pink Flamingo.
The house was originally built as a single family home, and was turned into rental property 10 to 15 years ago.
More in Wednesday's Valley City Times-Record.
The Valley City Area Chamber of Commerce is gearing up for its annual community olympics and chili cook-off. The events are held annually the Monday before the North Dakota Winter Show to build excitement and bring people into Valley City.
The community olympics will feature six different events from an egg toss to outhouse horseshoes, which trades in the horseshoe for a toilet seat.
"Different businesses in town have a chance to compete. Friendly competition is a great thing for the community," Chamber office manager Kay Vinje said.

|Hoke isn't even trying
When this was going on live, the classic rage sessions that even the worst coaches have with refs when something like this happens to their team came to mind. In just about every case, the coach wins and the refs admit their dumbshit mistake and fix the time. I expected the rage from Hoke, finally this time. Even if the running clock was somehow correct, at least you have to make a stink. But no. No, Hoke either didn't notice or didn't care. Unbelievable either way.

|They should focus on basketball for a while
Fixing the football situation is easy: drop M and OSU in the same division, move the championship game to a home stadium and go to a 9 game conference schedule, 10 if they expand further. In general, football is already well monetized.
Basketball is not, and the Big Ten is a dominant basketball conference. I bet if they expanded the B1G-ACC Challenge into a full blown conference wide tournament, broadcast on BTN and the ACC Network, they could make a lot of TV money and eliminate a bunch of body bag pre-conference season games. Two weekends in December plus the week in between, after finals and before the decent bowls start. I would watch that.

|Great Idea
I have one suggestion. A section for reader input, whether wiki-style or stream of mgoconsciousness for each play would allow the community to chime in with thier own insights, etc in a way that has not been possible outside of real time live blogs.
I'm imagining two scenarios. One, Brian UFR's a play and says, "I think ...(something)... but the coaches may say something different in the comments" Let the coachy types comment right there, specific to that moment, and make us all smarter.
Two, a certain moment in the game induces a seismic shift in someone's personal philosophy, or maintains their status quo, which was previously in considerable peril. Like when Greg Mathews caught that TD on the wheel route against State in '07, or Braylonfest; or conversely when Appy State and then Dennis Dixon tore away the curtain earlier in '07; some enlightened mgouser probably remembers, "It was at this point that I realized ..." Let us all witness the moment and perhaps be enlightened ourselves.
Just a thought. And speaking of considerable peril:

A graduate of Antlers High School recently participated in The 2011 Native All-Star Game which was played on Saturday, July 9, 2011 in Denton, TX. Colton Maynard, a 2011 graduate of Antlers High School, suited up to be a member of the Red Hawks team.
Twenty-four members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club competed in their annual Noon to Noon Bass Tournament held on July 16 and 17. The tournament was held on McGee Creek Lake and started at 12:00 noon on Saturday and ended at 12:00 noon on Sunday. A weigh-in was held at 9:30 p.m. on Saturday night.
Orginizers have been working hard for a couple of months now to get the word out and getting guys signed up to play in High School Alumni Football games. This proves to be an amazing opportunity former athletes to get to play full contact football again, as well as represent tradition, comradery, and their hometown.Â
The games have been postponed until the fall to give the teams a little more time to get signed up and for the games to build some traction, and excitement. Over all 64 guys around the area have signed up.Â
I was out and about early this morning and couldn't help but notice how beautiful everything looks at that time of the day. Things change drastically around noon. I'll sure be glad when we get through this drought.
We had some play during the morning over the weekend. We had one group that finished play around 3 p.m. and they were worn out due to the heat.
It is definitely recommended that folks get in their golf in the mornings or later in the evening.
On July 11, 2011 a new lake record was made for Broken Bow Lake. The fish, was a 1.2 lb Sunfish that was caught in the Carson Creek Area by a little girl by the name of Maysa Weeks of Rufe.
Weeks was using a Shimano reel with a falcon rod using hard bait/plugs with the bait casting method. The fish was weighed alive and was 11.5" long and had a girth of 11". Weeks also decided to keep the catch after it was recorded at the Frontier General Store.
Rattan Junior High School student athletes, Conner Copeland, 7th grade, Gage Haddox, 7th grade, and Jordan Haddox, 8th grade, attended the OU individual skills basketball camp at Lloyd Noble Center on the OU campus on June 13-15. The three received individual instruction from current and former NBA players as well as many current and former OU players and the OU coaching staff.
I hope everyone had a good July 4th. I attended the Tea Party Picnic and I must say that the rain that missed us at least cooled things down and we had an enjoyable outing.
We had some pretty good play over the 3 day weekend. In the mornings anyway. Mornings of late have been nice but the afternoons have been miserable. Of course you know that unless you live under a rock.
Lake record fish have been plentiful out of Pine Creek Lake in McCurtain County and another one has recently be caught.
On Thursday, June 23, 2011 Mike Apple of Grannis, AR., reeled in a 8.6 lb Largemouth bass using the bait casting rod and reel method with spinner bait.
The fish was weighed while alive and the angler chose to keep the fish. The record breaking bass was caught in an area called Rocky Point. The bass's official measurements were 23.50" long and it had a girth of 17." The fish was checked in at Uncle Bens in Valliant.
Meaghan Bates, a student at Rattan Elementary, was recently named the 2011 OYRA Champion Barrel Racer.
We haven't had a scramble in over a month due to lack of participation. We have been playing CATS for the last few weeks but last week there were only 3 of us. Until further notice, the Thursday Scrambles are suspended.
If you are a golfer and want to see Wednesday, Thursday or Friday competitions, get in touch with me and we can discuss something. Without community support I cannot continue to groom the course mid week and have no one come out.
Special thanks to the guys who come out on Monday evenings. We'll keep it groomed for you.

The federal government is ailing and needs a cure. The cure lies in embracing a principle long known to the American people but little recognized by Washington – until now: common sense. In this pathbreaking report, Vice President Al Gore, presiding over the National Performance Review, at the request of President Clinton, charts a fundamental shift in how government conducts itself. This report understands that a government that recognizes who its real customers are, works with them to understand their needs, and puts them first, not last, is a government that deserves to govern.
Former vice president Al Gore is co-founder and chairman of Generation Investment Management. He is also a senior partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, and a member of Apple Inc.'s board of directors. Gore spends the majority of his… More about Al Gore

New art on West Rail Line
The West Rail Line has some brand new art for riders and residents to enjoy! 13 new and unique pieces of art were recently installed along the line, along with decorative wind screens and wrapped relay houses. These art pieces were commissioned by RTD to enhance and compliment the design of each individual station, bringing color, culture and added interest to the light rail stations.
Each art project was chosen by a committee of RTD and community members to ensure the most interesting and innovative piece for the specific geographic area.
Click through the photos below to take a digital tour of the new West Rail Line art.
Take an art tour
You're probably familiar with art walks…but did you know that in metro Denver, you can take an art ride?
Thanks to RTD's Art-n-Transit program, you can enjoy an eclectic array of public art pieces at more than 45 light rail stations and bus terminals throughout the metro area. Keep reading to learn more about the art behind the transit and then take a self-guided tour of the artwork.
What is Art-n-Transit?
Since 1994, the mission of RTD's Art-n-Transit program has been to enhance the design, aesthetic quality and user friendliness of transit projects, as well as to foster transit-oriented community development.
The Art-n-Transit program is based on RTD's belief that public art helps provide a stronger connection between neighborhoods and transit. Installing artwork at transit facilities creates a sense of community and provides opportunities to celebrate the diverse cultural, ethnic and historical richness of the many communities RTD serves. In addition to enhancing the beauty of the entire transit system, public art also helps discourage vandalism and graffiti.
Art-n-Transit guide
What kind of art will you see on RTD?
As you ride RTD, you'll notice two types of public art. The first consists of art enhancements — artistic elements incorporated into the design of the transit station. These include windscreens, benches, canopies, railings and other basic architectural features that provide functional benefits and make stations and terminals easily identifiable.
The true centerpieces of the Art-n-Transit program are the site-specific commissioned artworks. These murals, mosaics, sculptures and other imaginative installations were created by artists hired to produce unique works of art that reflect the surrounding community and add an identifying element to the neighborhood. Community members participate in the selection process for each of these commissioned art projects.
We invite you to take a ride on RTD and get a first-hand glimpse at one of the metro area's most innovative art collections!

Jersey Shore
The Situation Plays Mr. Nice Guy on Jersey Shore: Do You Like the New Mike?
One of the biggest differences between the final season of Jersey Shore and all the seasons before is the presence of a sober Situation. As he said in the Season 6 premiere (Season 6, Episode 1: "Once More Unto the Beach" and Episode 2: "No Shame, Good Integrity"), he's driving over the bridge to Seaside Heights sober for the first time since Season 1.
So are you impressed with sober Mike?
We've written in defense of The Situation before, and we tend to have a lot of sympathy for anyone who publicly admits that they were suffering from addiction and sought help. And with 8 months clean, it's clear that Mike took getting sober seriously, rather than just spending a hot minute at a fancy rehab to appease the press.
The Situation also went out of his way to formally apologize to each Jersey Shore castmate individually, calling himself out on his bad behavior in the past. Snooki and JWOWW are the only ones who aren't giving up the ghost right away (and Snooki might never try to make a friendship work again).
The only downside to all this positivity is that The Situation might be trying a little too hard. As Snooki put it, she gets that he wants to be her friend, but it's a little too much too soon.
Then again, we've never seen Mike behave like such a gentleman before — politely asking those two girls to come back to the house another time (when one of them doesn't have her period) just so Pauly D didn't have a messy night? Maybe the slickest move we've ever seen on the show. And the friendliest Situation.
Tell us what you think of the brand new Situation in the reaction buttons below: Do you like sober Mike, or do you miss the old one?
Catch the next new episode of Jersey Shore on Thursday, October 11 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
Jersey Shore airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Planes' descents into Houston will be smoother
By Kiah Collier | April 4, 2012
Photo By Karen WarrenAir traffic controllers at work during a tour with Acting Federal Aviation Administrator Michael Huerta,left, and Deputy Transportation Secretary John Porcari in the air traffic control center at IAH after the FAA "media roundtable", Wednesday, April 4, 2012, in Houston. Deputy Transportation Secretary John Porcari, Acting Federal Aviation Administrator Michael Huerta and other aviation partners will hold a media roundtable on the FAA's Metroplex plan, a collaborative effort to make air traffic control more efficient, help airlines improve on-time performance, and reduce emissions generated by aircraft flying into and out of the Houston area. Metroplex is a key component of the FAA's Next Generation Air Transportation (NextGen) modernization program. ( Karen Warren / Houston Chronicle )
Photo By Karen WarrenControllers check flights Wednesday in the air traffic control center at Bush Intercontinental Airport. Houston is one of 14 cities to soon get new traffic control technologies that will let planes fly more direct approach routes.
The choppy, stair-step-style descents airplanes use to get to the ground in Houston will be replaced with a smoother method as early as December 2013, reducing noise pollution, fuel consumption and even occasional passenger airsickness.
Houston is one of 14 cities the Federal Aviation Administration has put on a fast track for new-age traffic control technologies and procedures that will allow planes to fly more direct approach routes, significantly reducing carbon emissions while increasing on-time performance.
The "Houston Metroplex airspace initiative," as the FAA is calling it, is a $4.8 million project the agency says will remove 31,000 metric tons of carbon emissions a year from area skies - the equivalent of the output from about 6,000 cars - and save airlines $9.2 million a year in fuel costs.
Project funding is coming out of the FAA's operating budget, officials said.
Using "optimized profile" descent, a jetliner essentially glides toward landing, said Deputy FAA Administrator Michael Huerta at a news conference at Houston's Air Route Traffic Control Center Wednesday.
"It's burning a lot less fuel, saving a lot of money and reducing its emissions, and it's also reducing noise because that descent and glide at idle is much quieter," he said.
Similar projects are under way or in the works for 21 metropolitan areas where airspace is congested, including Atlanta and Dallas-Fort Worth.
The technologies are part of the FAA's "Next Generation Air Transportation System," which it calls NextGen.
The fledgling system relies on satellites rather than ground-based equipment to pinpoint aircraft locations, allowing for more streamlined, direct descents.
The Houston project, for which preparatory work is about 50 percent complete, launched early this year and is expected to be complete by December 2013, said Huerta and other officials who attended the news conference, including U.S. Deputy Transportation Secretary John Porcari.
Huerta said the project could have taken five to 10 years to complete if Houston hadn't been selected for a quicker timeline.
Houston Airport System Director Mario Diaz, who joined officials at the news conference, said the project will increase the system's capacity because planes will be moving through more quickly. This in turn will reduce the need to invest in more infrastructure like new runways, which can cost more than $1 billion and take a decade to build.
Representatives from United and Southwest airlines who attended praised the FAA for working closely with airlines on the project, which the carriers like because of its cost-savings potential.
Airlines generally have supported the initiative but have expressed concern about investing in the necessary equipment for their fleets until they are assured the government will modernize its own equipment.

Posing Problems
Since youngsters do not usually possess the biographical apparatus commonly used by historians to analyze the layered meanings of portraiture—lived experience and accomplishments that contribute to a firmly established sense of identity—Sargent's portraits of children are often difficult to interpret. He sometimes complicated the matter of "reading" his images of children by stripping them of such common child-defining attributes as toys, books, or pets or by depicting them with expressions or in poses that suggest personal volition. We are obliged to acknowledge his young sitters as individuals.
Numerous accounts attest that Sargent's adult subjects often flagged under sometimes emotionally fraught and physically grueling portrait sittings. If posing was an ordeal for adults, what was it like for children (who traditionally had neither control in the matter nor vested interest in the result)? Conversely, what was it like for Sargent to paint a child, who was too young to understand the purpose of the process?

90GB in my case, but I'm running Dovecot using only IMAPS, plus 4 MySQL

I had a problem a while back with a smaller allocation (I think it was
about 20GB), and a weird attack on my webserver plugged it solid.

"European crow," Old English hroc, from Proto-Germanic *khrokaz (cf. Old Norse hrokr, Middle Dutch roec, Dutch roek, Middle Swedish roka, Old High German hruoh "crow"), possibly imitative of its raucous voice (cf. Gaelic roc "croak," Sanskrit kruc "to cry out"). Used as a disparaging term for persons since at least c.1500, and extended by 1570s to mean "a cheat," especially at cards or dice.
chess piece, c.1300, from Old French roc, from Arabic rukhkh, from Persian rukh, of unknown meaning, perhaps somehow related to the Indian name for the piece, rut, from Hindi rath "chariot." Confused in Middle English with roc.
"to defraud by cheating" (originally especially in a game), 1590s, from rook (n.1) in some sense (e.g. "a gull, simpleton," but this is not attested until 17c.). Related: Rooked; rooking.
: Balcony seats for 40 bucks are a real rook
To cheat; defraud; gyp: who would rook them for two dollars (1577+)
[probably fr the thieving habits of the rook, which it shares with other corvine birds like the crow and magpie]

Car Seat Laws and Best Practice
Many adults make decisions about car seat usage based on the laws and assume that the laws were designed to fully protect children. However, there is research-based evidence that the current laws are not sufficient to protect most children in an accident. The laws, set by each state, are minimum guidelines. (To learn about car seat laws in other states, visit the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety child restraint laws website). Due to the slow process of changing laws and philosophical disagreements about the role of government in personal rights, many states have not made changes to the child restraint laws to provide optimal protection for children.
California Law
The current law in California (effective January 1, 2005) requires children to be properly secured in a car seat (which includes booster seats) until they are at least 6 years old or 60lbs. Children under 6 years old must ride in the back seat of a vehicle with specific exceptions that are described in the law. (For the full text of the law, see the California Department of Motor Vehicles information on Child Passenger Restraints). Children over the age of 6 years old or over 60lbs are not required to ride in a child restraint and may ride in the front seat.
Specifically, California law states:
(a) A parent or legal guardian, when present in a motor vehicle, as defined in Section 27315, may not permit his or her child or ward to be transported upon a highway in the motor vehicle without properly securing the child or ward in a rear seat in a child passenger restraint system meeting applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards, unless the child or ward is one of the following:
- Six years of age or older.
- Sixty pounds or more
California law is not specific about when children must ride rear-facing, forward-facing in 5-point harness car seat, or in a booster seat. However, in order to properly secure children in a passenger restraint system, parents must follow the instructions provided with the car seat. This means that:
- All babies in infant seats must ride rear-facing;
- Babies and toddlers can ride rear-facing in a convertible car seat as long as the child meets the weight and height requirements specified for the use of the car seat in the rear-facing position;
- Children can ride forward-facing in a convertible or forward-facing only seat when the child meets the minimum requirements for forward-facing (most specify 1 year old and at least 20lbs, some specify a higher weight limit, a specific minimum height, and one specifies 2 years as the minimum age);
- Children can use booster seats when the child meets the size requirements (most specify weight and height requirements.)
Best Practice
Instead of following minimums specified in the laws, parents may choose to exceed these requirements and follow best practice. Car seat experts are making recommendations based on the current evidence and information so that adults may best protect children in vehicles. With recent and on-going improvements to car seats available in the United States, there are many newer seats that allow children to stay in a safer position (especially rear-facing and harnessed) longer than ever before.
These best practices include:
Rear-facing beyond 1 year and 20lbs (preferably to 2 years old or older)
The American Academy of Pediatrics has been recommending that children remain rear-facing to the limits of their car seats since 2002. In April 2009, the AAP updated their recommendation and specified, "Toddlers should remain rear-facing in a convertible car seat until they have reached the maximum height and weight recommended for the model, or at least the age of 2."
A rear-facing car seat protects a child's proportionally large head and therefore the spine during an accident. A study published in the Journal of Injury Prevention in December 2007 found that children under two years old in forward-facing car seats are 4 to 5 times more likely to be seriously injured or killed than children in rear-facing car seats.

Extended Rear-Facing (Printable Brochure)
5-point harness car seat until child is 5, preferably 6 years old and over 40lbs
A 5-point harness keeps children properly positioned in the car at all times and the forces during an accident are distributed over more surface area, which protects children. This is the same reason race car drivers use a 5-point harness. Younger children do not have the maturity to properly sit in a booster with the seatbelt properly positioned all of the time, whereas the 5-point harness stays in the correct position to provide optimal protection in an accident. Children's bones are also developing so there is a physiological reason why children are safer in a 5-point harness. Another consideration is that children who are too small to properly fit in a booster seat may slide out under the seatbelt in an accident.
Additional Information:

5-point Harness vs. Booster Seat Crash Test
Booster Seats Until Children Pass the 5 Step Test
Vehicle seats and seat belts are designed to fit older children and adults. By using a booster seat, children are lifted up so the seat belt properly rests on their chest bone and hip bone so they are protected in an accident. The 5-step test consists of the following criteria:
- Does the child sit all the way back against the auto seat?
- Do the child's knees bend comfortably at the edge of the auto seat?
- Does the belt cross the shoulder between the neck and arm?
- Is the lap belt as low as possible, touching the thighs?
- Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?
It is important remember that children fit differently in different vehicles and seat positions so a child may pass the 5-step test in some vehicles and/or seat positions and need a booster seat in other vehicles and/or seat positions.
Additional information:
How to Test a Car Seat Booster Video
Children Should Ride in the Back Seat
All passengers are safer in the back seat. Research shows that children under 16 who are sitting in the front seat are 40% more likely to be injured than children who are sitting in the rear seat. Even though some recommendations are that children under 12 years old should sit in the back seat, the data suggests that everyone – except the driver – should sit in the back seat.

I am conflicted with this bag. First of all, it's a great size - not too big or small, and has nice pockets and compartments. The papaya color is so cute and I would get lots of compliments on it. The coolest feature of this bag is that it can be a back-pack style, or a purse strap style. But this feature is also the deal-breaker: the rings that adjust and slide the straps into place do not hold the straps securely. This creates an annoying problem as the purse loses its structure and bunches up from the straps slipping. You can adjust it back in place, but a few seconds later it will just fall back into a scrunch. I am short, so this purse hangs to my knees because the straps won't stay secure. I look ridiculous! One other thing, the fabric on the straps pills and can look kind of cheap. I bought this bag at dillards for $120, and it can't be returned since I've had it about 45 days now. I give the bag 5 stars for looks but 0 stars for the strap functionality, which renders my bag useless :(
Wednesday November 21 2012
I purchased this bag for a trip to Europe. I really liked everything about it except for the design of the cross body strap. The rings would not hold the strap in place, therefore it would always slip, and since I am not very tall, the bag would end up at my knees. I felt like I was constantly tugging on the straps to adjust it and it made it very uncomfortable while I was walking around. I had planned on purchasing this in another color, but after this experience, I would not suggest it and will shop around for a different bag.

Jeremy Dixon grew up on a steady diet of sports.
His high school years in Port St. Joe (Class of 1998) were spent on the baseball diamond and basketball hardwood.
And, so, Dixon recently arrived on an idea to celebrate all things athletic in Gulf County – a new magazine.
Dixon's "Sidelines" premiered early this month, a full-color slick periodical to be published six times a year and focused on what happens on and off the field among the county's athletes, from youth leagues to an alumni section for former high school athletes.
"The magazine is hitting on two things," Dixon said. "What is happening on the field and what is going on outside the field."
The magazine, which carries a newsstand price of $2, is available at several local outlets. Dixon plans to have web presence and mobile app in the coming months, aiming in part at parents of athletes.
Dixon played baseball and basketball as a teenager and matriculated to Carson-Newman College before transferring to Florida State University.
Having studies economics at FSU and with a sales background, Dixon said, "He hit the ground running" in promoting his magazine.
"The county has such a rich history of sports," Dixon said. "I grew up playing sports. The first thought I had about the magazine was pictures."
Dixon wanted to provide a format for "full-colored, vibrant" pictures that "athletes would want to keep."
Those photos, he added, would also attract parents seeking to secure memories of their child's exploits on the fields of play.
"I wanted something that puts athletes on the front cover," Dixon said.
The magazine will profile players and teams competing in county athletes and will also include a section celebrating those athletes who have advanced beyond high school and became standouts in college or even the professional ranks.
"Putting it all together, making it concise, that will be the learning curve," Dixon said. "As with anything new it will take time. But a year from now I'd like it to be something that readers look forward to it and for it to have enough notoriety that people want to be in it."

Djibouti (Paperback)
Documentary filmmaker Dara Barr is at the top of her game and looking for bigger challenges. Thats why shes come to Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa, with her right-hand man, six-foot-six, seventy-two-year-old African American seafarer Xavier LeBo, to film modern-day pirates hijacking merchant ships. But almost no one here is who he seems to be. Dijiboutis most successful, Mercedes-driving pirate seems to be a good guy, while his pal, a cultured Saudi diplomat, has dubious connections. Texas billionaire Billy Wynn plays mysterious roles as the mood strikes him, especially when dealing with his nifty fashion model girlfriend, Helene. And then theres Jama Raisuli, a black al Qaeda terrorist from Miami, whos vowed to blow up something big.
About the Author
Elmore Leonard wrote forty-five novels and nearly as many western and crime short stories across his highly successful career that spanned more than six decades. Some of his bestsellers include Road Dogs, Up in Honey's Room, The Hot Kid, Mr. Paradise, Tishomingo Blues, and the critically acclaimed collection of short stories Fire in the Hole. Many of his books have been made into movies, including Get Shorty, Out of Sight, and Rum Punch, which became Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown. Justified, the hit series from FX, is based on Leonard's character Raylan Givens, who appears in Riding the Rap, Pronto, Raylan and the short story "Fire in the Hole." He was a recipient of the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the Lifetime Achievement Award from PEN USA, and the Grand Master Award of the Mystery Writers of America. He was known to many as the 'Dickens of Detroit' and was a long-time resident of the Detroit area.

John & John Potato Crisps Packaging and Graphic Design
John & John Potato Crisps Packaging and Graphic Design
Designed by German branding and design agency Peter Schmidt Group, these bags for John & John British potato crisps take snack packaging to a much higher level. The graphic color blocks make the bags look more like carefully crafted poster designs and less like the average chip bag. I could honestly see these successfully framed in a collection.
The colors and varied shapes make each bag stand out on its own but also compliment the next one—making each a part of the whole, and the small, simple graphics add a bit of fun a identity to each flavor. To take the anchor branding a step further, the bold designs seem to glean some inspiration from Navy signal flags.

Watch: Bruno Major - "Home" (Live)/
Ahh, the mystery. Seems like the new mantra of music marketing is less -- definitely less -- is more when it comes to introducing a new artist. Bio? Who needs one? North London songwriter and ex-session guitarist Bruno Major (formerly Bruno Charles, formerly Charles Bruno -- that much we kinda know) won't remain an enigma for long, however. Signed to Virgin UK on the strength of a handful of promising demos, Major has managed to lay the groundwork quietly but effectively over the past year: getting some prime opening gigs, a few buzzed showcase performances, some tracks laid down at Abbey Road and L.A. As we await word of a full-length (or even an EP), check out "Home," a track performed live in the studio. Clearly, this is one guy who knows how to write a classic melody and like John Mayer is both the sensitive tunesmith and blistering guitar slinger. Click through for a demo of "Old Man" and a killer version of Ray Charles' "Losing Hand" that shows off his guitar playing chops.

Just replying to David Homer regarding Munster getting whats coming to them, Munster were infringing during the game and were getting away with it. Does David believe that Edinburgh are always legal and whiter than white as for Rog's kick on Sean Cox, he did the crime and did the time. But surely Sean Cox was not completely innocent as through out the game he was continually shouting, body checking and trying to wind up his opponents. Rugby is competitive and I was delighted when Edinburgh reached last seasons semi final and sincerely hope they get back to that form. Munster are a great side and they have been on the wrong side of bad decisions but they have always been gracious in defeat and humble in victory. Best of luck David and hopefully you will be cheering us on against Quins in April.

Start, is this situation with Saracens and the salary cap becoming ridiculous now? It was odd how they acquired Ashton last year for a wapping fee without having anyone else leave. How do they go ahead and find the money for Johnson and Vunipola, while signing up 10 players on new deals at what will be vastly improved rates. It is obvious they are paying no notice of the salary cap and it is all off the books.

Reading a number of pundits' blogs across a variety of forums, there seem to be a lot of readers' comments in relation to whether Farrell is overrated - often, his lack of creative flair is cited and he is criticised for only bringing a solid defence and dependable boot to the table. Whilst I, like any England fan, would love to see England field a 10 with the qualities of Dan Carter, I don't agree with the furore caused by Farrell's selection - in recent years, the team has struggled because it couldn't keep the scoreboard ticking over, which is a hugely important factor in test rugby. Penalties and drop goals may not be a pretty way of doing so - but they are effective. It was a large factor in the success of the team at the 2003 RWC, which incidentally played well with a 10 who didn't have barrels of creative flair but was solid as a barn door in defence and seldom missed a kick...

Hi Stuart, having watched Ospreys v Leicester yesterday, albeit on television, I was unimpressed with Manu Tuilagi's performance for someone constantly billed as English rugby's future. His skill set left much to be desired. Do you think opposing teams have/will worked him out? It will be interesting to see how Toulouse deal with him. One more observation/question: do you think that The Farrell family are overrated? Father, a Lions coach with very limited playing and coaching experience in rugby union and son who can kick goals and defend but doesnt exactly set the game alight with his offensive play?
