Rohach leads Moorpark to win over Ventura
Roles changed, at least for one game, for the Moorpark High football team Friday night.
But not the results.
Brody Rohach went the distance at quarterback and threw for 177 yards and touchdowns of 50, 42 and 23 yards and Brian Blechen caught the 50-yard score and assumed full-time duties on the Musketeers defense at safety as Moorpark rolled up a 31-7 victory over visiting Ventura in a non-league matchup.
Rohach and Blechen had basically rotated at quarterback during Moorpark's impressive wins over Eastlake and Notre Dame in the opening two weeks. Moorpark coach Tim Lins said Friday's lineup isn't necessarily a portent of things to come.
"We won't even go there," he said with a smile.
Lins did regard the meeting with Ventura as a potential trap, particularly following the emotional win over Notre Dame last Saturday.
"It was a little difficult to prepare for this one," said Lins. "But our guys did a nice job of taking care of business. It was a game we didn't want to lose."
Blechen turned in the big play on Moorpark's opening drive of the night, turning a streak upfield into a 50-yard touchdown reception from Rohach that lit the fuse.
Turns out, it was the first touchdown pass Blechen had ever caught.
"It was a little weird," he said. "But it felt great. I just ran a streak up the field and got open. It was a good way to start the game."
Blechen said he was feeling bumps and bruises from the last two weeks, which lessened his duties on offense. Moorpark also lost defensive back A.J. Dettorre in the first half to a bruised back, which pushed Blechen into full-time duties on defense.
"The coaches just felt they needed me more on defense," he said..
It was another complete game for Moorpark, with Austin Edmonson rushing for 107 yards, including a 48-yard score, and Tyler Peterson adding 60 rushing yards on 11 carries.
For Ventura, there was added optimism. The Cougars lost their season opener to Agoura a week ago, piling up five turnovers.
Against Moorpark, the offense didn't turn the ball over while collecting just 57 passing yards and 122 rushing yards. TheCougars' score came on a 1-yard keeper by quarterback Keihan Gibbs in the second quarter.
"I thought we played better tonight," said Ventura coach Brad Steward. "We played well when we play with emotion. Football is an emotional game and that's how we need to play.
For Moorpark, Rohach completed 11 of 16 passes, but also had two interceptions. For Ventura, Gibbs was 9 of 18 for 57 yards.
With the 17-point lead at halftime, Moorpark lengthened the advantage with its second series of the third quarter.
A 20-yard punt return by Tommy Collet gave Moorpark a first down at the Ventura 30-yard line. From there, Moorpark needed just two plays to ring up the score.
Rohach's 23-yard touchdown toss to Vern Lins came with 4:39 remaining in the period.
Three long touchdown plays propelled Moorpark to a 24-7 lead at halftime.
On Moorpark's opening series, facing a third-and-16 from the 50-yard line, Rohach found a streaking Blechen up the left sidelines. The receiver hauled in the pass inside the 10-yard line, deftly sidestepped one tackler, and sped into the end zone. The extra point by Stephen Picchini gave Moorpark a 7-0 lead with 8:54 left in the opening quarter.
Moorpark hiked the lead to 14-0 on its next possession. Edmonson ended the three-play, 62-yard drive by racing 48 yards with the carry.
Following a 25-yard field goal by Picchini near the close of the first period, Moorpark rolled up 80 on eight plays with its closing drive of the half.
Rohach connected with Chad Kendall on a 42-yard scoring pass to post the touchdown.
Moorpark notched scores on four of five possessions in the first half.
The one missed series ended in a lost fumble and set up Ventura for its lone score of the first half.
After recovering a fumble at their own 43, the Cougars marched 57 yards in seven plays to cut the deficit to 17-7 with 8:03 left in the second quarter.
The key play was a 33-yard hookup on a double-pass, with Keihan Gibbs flipping to Joe Mendoza, who found Dylan Gutierrez 33 yards upfield.
The touchdown came on Gibb's 1-yard keeper on third-and-goal.

Interpublic records 9.7% revenue boost in Q2
By Mark Banham, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 29 July 2010 01:35PM
Interpublic Group has given further evidence that the global advertising recession is coming to a close, by posting a 9.7% increase in revenue in its second quarter results.
However, the group has insisted that it will continue to manage its business "conservatively".
Interpublic, which owns creative agencies Lowe and McCann Erickson along with media networks Initiative and Universal McCann (UM), said the growth figure was boosted by organic revenue growth of 8.5%, "reflecting increases in client spending and new business wins."
After the results period, IPG bolstered its Lowe network by completing the acquisition of UK agency DLKW, from Creston, for £27m.
Q2 revenue was up from $1.47bn (£940m) during 2009, to $1.62bn (£1bn) this year.
Operating income was up during quarter two to $177.3m (£113.4m), from $96.9m (£62m) during the same period last year.
Interpublic has recorded a series of new business wins in the US, with UM currently resurgent in the region.
During the first half of this year, UM has taken the $200m (£128m) BMW North America media account, as well the media accounts for investment broker Charles Schwab, restaurant chain Applebee's and car marque Chrysler in the US.
It also took the global media planning and buying account for British fashion brand Burberry.
Michael Roth, Interpublic Group's chief executive, said: "We are pleased with the second quarter's strong performance in terms of both growth and profitability. Contributions to our organic revenue growth came from existing and new clients across a range of industry sectors, from the US and emerging international markets, and from a broad cross-section of the agencies in our portfolio.
"Of course, there remain areas of uncertainty in the global economy, so we will continue to manage the business conservatively."
Roth added: "With revenue stability and growth back in the picture, we feel we are very much on track to deliver on our operating margin objective of better than eight percent for 2010.
"Combined with our commitment to put the cash on our balance sheet to work on behalf of shareholders, we believe our financial performance positions us well to enhance shareholder value going forward."
Earlier today French advertising group Publicis announced its first half profits had risen 27.5% to €213m (£178m) and revenues were up by 14.9% to €2.5bn (£2.1bn).
Last week US group Omnicom posted a 4.2% rise in second quarter profits to $243.3m (£158.9m) and a 5.9% increase in revenue to $3.04bn (£1.99bn).

Arguably the most intriguing part of Saturday's game at Davis Wade Stadium is the chess match between the schools' head coaches.
Kentucky's Joker Phillips and Mississippi State's Dan Mullen are two of the Southeastern Conference's young talents in the coaching profession and will have at least two observers this weekend that consider themselves friendly with both parties in MSU baseball coach John Cohen and his boss Scott Stricklin.
The 23rd-ranked Bulldogs (6-2, 2-2) will host Kentucky this Saturday night for a 6 p.m. contest on ESPNU.
Mississippi State's head baseball coach John Cohen has known Phillips while they both worked across the hall from each other in the football stadium in Lexington from 2004-08 but then Cohen, an MSU alum, left before the 2009 season to coach in Starkville.
"Joker is a young, innovative guy and I've got to be honest - that's one of the smartest things (UK athletic director) Mitch Barnhart ever did by promoting him to be the future head coach once Rich Brooks retires," Cohen said. "I know for a fact he had some big-time offensive coordinator positions. I think there's some coaches in this league that have better talent but nobody gets more out of their kids than Joker and Dan."
Phillips was named on Jan. 18, 2008 Kentucky's head coach in waiting once Rich Brooks decided to retire and that step was considered an innovative move before other schools like Texas and Florida State handed that title to its assistants currently on staff.
"I was at Kentucky at that time and remembered thinking how proactive it was to handle that situation like that in the way Mitch did that for the university," Stricklin said.
Stricklin was the University of Kentucky's associate athletic director for media relations when Phillips was the Wildcats offensive assistant.
"Joker and Dan are obviously both great coaches but what I think they both have is that intelligence and ability to sell," Stricklin said. "There's more to being a head coach in today's world of college football and they both get that do it in places with passionate fan bases that are having a lot of success."
Cohen won a Southeastern Conference baseball title the same year (2006) that Kentucky went to a bowl game for the first time since 1999. The Bulldogs baseball coach, who says he still texts with Phillips on a weekly basis, sees many similarities in the way both men coach on Saturdays and possibly more importantly conduct practice on a daily basis.
"I've got to say there's a lot of fake authenticity in our business no matter what the sport you're talking about," Cohen said. "I can assure you that's not the case with both of these guys. They care about the fan bases and their personality is to engage people into what they are doing."
Cohen, who is an avid football fan after growing up in Tuscaloosa, Ala., watching Paul Bryant coach at Alabama, says he's incorporated many of the traits of both Phillips and Mullen into his own style on the baseball diamond.
"It is fun to watch both Dan and Joker in games but I got to tell you – watching their practices are unbelievable," Cohen said. "What I take from that to my team is I don't there's two coaches that put together a more prepared group of players from a mental standpoint than Joker and Dan."
Mullen mentioned quickly in the opening statement of his weekly media conference Monday that Kentucky's offense, which averages 34.8 points and over 428 yards per game, will be the toughest task to slow down they've faced in the 2010 season.
"They can score in a hurry," Mullen said. "With all their great athletes, they can put points on the board, so they're never really out of the game. Obviously they're a team that's gotten used to winning the last couple years."
Phillips made media members laugh months ago during Southeastern Conference media days when the first-year head coach jokingly questioned where the media had his team slotted in the Eastern Division.
"The only puzzling thing is, we are the only team that has a head coach that's undefeated," Phillips said with a laugh. "I can't believe y'all ranked us as low as you did."
Now that the division title is out of the Wildcats (4-4, 1-4 in SEC East) grasp, Phillips answered what his team's goal were in the same fashion as Mullen despite the fact the coach in Starkville already has a bowl eligible squad.
"We want to get this program in the best available bowl game for us," Phillips said.
Asked immediately if there was such a thing as a bad bowl and the Wildcats head coach went back to his comedic style.
"No," Phillips said with a smile. "You've got one you want to give us now at 4 and 4?"

Originally written on Hoop Fantasies Fantasy Basketball Blog | Last updated 3/19/13
CM Punk is a disrespectful scoundrel. The Second City Saint is on a less-than-angelic streak, interrupting The Undertaker's tribute to Paul Bearer and stealing the manager's "symbolic" urn last week and then mimicking Bearer's famous "oh yes" and dropping the urn while playing Harlem Globetrotter this week. The Undertaker dropping his head in disgust when Punk dropped his dead manager's most prized possession was priceless. So was Punk saying, "No disrespect intended." It's all about disrespect and mind games, with Punk smugly lying to everyone to get under the Phenom's tattooed skin. Punk is flat out being dick -- but a dick with purpose. He's determined to beat the streak at all costs. And he's making everyone, including me, a Punk fan, want to see him become victim No. 21 at WrestleMania. This feud needed to get personal after staring off weak (Punk winning a four-way match to get a shot at ending the streak), but it's hot now. There's one thing that feels off: After a one-week quest to avenge his father, Kane is now in a bad place but not determined to filet Punk (probably because Punk is dinged up and getting rest).

I've got to tell you, my first encounter with blood orange juice was during college, with it mixed in a pitcher of vodka. Heck, if a juice could make an $8.00 bottle of vodka taste good, then I'm guessing the blood orange juice tastes fantastic in these Blood Orange Caramels with Toasted Almonds and Sea Salt.
In fact, I really like this recipe because sometimes caramel needs a little pizzazz, and can we all agree there is just something seductive about blood oranges? Maybe it's their surprisingly dark juice, or their name, either way they take the caramels up a notch. Plus adding toasted almonds gives it a nice healthy crunch, and everything tastes better with sea salt flakes.
The best part? Although this recipe is quiet simple, the name makes it seem complicated. So I will be passing these out to those people I want to impress. For instance, my father in law.

Tim Juran's journey began a couple of years ago when he spied a mint '92 Formula sitting on a small dealer lot. His ride at the time was a trusty but rusty '91 Formula that had started out black but now was turning an oxidized brown, courtesy of the road salt used over the last 15 Chicago winters. Only $2,200 traded hands, since the '92 Formula had already hit 180,000 miles. Tim almost made it all the way home under his own power, but the engine started knocking just as he pulled into his driveway. As already planned to swap in a forged 8.5:1 engine from his other Formula anyway, this was just a sign that he was destined to turbocharge the new one. Previously, Tim and his brother built a non-intercooled setup for the now departed '91 Formula, and it was a great learning experience-despite the fact that they did things like using PVC pipe as the ducting from the turbo to the throttle body. "Some of that first car was rigged, but heck, I was 18," he recounts.
Currently, Tim's Formula features a stock L98 block bored .030 over, stuffed with forged Speed-Pro pistons and GM 5.7 rods. The block is O-ringed and uses SCE copper head gaskets, a stock crank, stock L98 heads (with a little port work), and a TPIS ZZ9 camshaft round out the long-block. His intake features TPIS long runners and is fully port-matched. In addition to building the engine himself, Tim also rebuilt the factory 700R4 using Art Carr internals. As for the stock 10 bolt, he just added a TA girdle.
The Formula's fuel system uses stock fuel rails, 36-pound injectors out of a late model supercharged GTP, a Walbro 255 intank fuel pump, and a Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump (with base fuel pressure set at 60 psi). Tim is also using a 749 ECM out of a GMC Typhoon. He re-pinned all of the connections, and used a supercharger tune he found on Thirdgen.org to get the car started. All told, Tim has burned about seven chips for the car over the last two years.
This turbo setup features a Turbonetics 62-1, 1.0 exhaust, along with a Greddy 4-Row intercooler. The intercooler, which was originally specified for a late-model Supra, fits perfectly in the nose of the Formula. He typically sees 14 psi during track passes.

Evernote And Adonit Team Up To Make Penultimate-Friendly Stylus
Somehow, Adonit and Evernote have together managed to solve the biggest problem in iPad styluses: the size of the tip. Instead of a big fat pinkie-sized blob of rubber, the new Jot Script has a point that's more or less the size of a regular rollerball ball.
And best of all, the latest version of Penultimate, Evernote's note-taking app – has been developed in tandem with the pen to work like, well, to work like an Apple product.

Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. (February 16, 2008) – Quentin Cullop (So., Winter Haven, Fla.) had career highs with 28 points and 11 assists to help the Saint Leo University men's basketball team (12-11, 5-7 SSC) defeat Nova Southeastern University (9-14, 4-8 SSC) by a score of 93-84 on Saturday night in Sunshine State Conference hoops action.
The Lions had a total of five players in double figures on the night, led by Cullop. Jordan Prais (So., Lakeland, Fla.) and Kyle Rowland (Jr., North Port, Fla.) each had 15 points, while George Eshesimua (Sr., Miami, Fla.) and Jonathan Banks (Sr., Tampa, Fla.) added 12 and 11 points, respectively.
Saint Leo and NSU shot high percentages from the field, as the Sharks shot 53.7% (29-of-54) while the Lions shot 47.4% (27-of-57). However, the Lions made the most of the Sharks' 19 turnovers outscoring NSU 18-2 in point off of turnovers.
Neither team led by more than eight points in the opening half, but a 5-0 run late by NSU trimmed Saint Leo's lead to 44-42 at half-time.
In the second half, both teams held slim margins before Saint Leo used an 11-2 run to open up and 81-69 lead with 4:16 left in the game. The Lions built the lead to a game-high 13 and held the margin in double digits before the final margin of nine.
Saint Leo will head to Lakeland, Fla. on Wednesday night to take on Florida Southern College at 7:30 p.m.

The main difference between the pieces you will find around here and those that are found in many discount, and bargain basement places is simple, they are made of solid oak and ash, as well as other pieces.
Every effort has been placed to find solid components to build the best possible furniture. You will not find another solution that will have the same kind of meticulous craftsmanship and sourcing. When you purchase items that are made of solid wood, you will not only feel confident about what you're spending your money on, but you will have a piece that is worthy of showing off in your home.
Regardless of whether you choose acacia furniture, oak furniture, ash furniture, brushed pieces, reclaimed furniture, upcycled furniture, or painted furniture, you will have something that is well worth having in your home for a lifetime. From the Blonde Santa Rustic Oak to the Reclaimed Rustic Oak pieces that are highlighted in bedrooms and dining rooms, there has been extreme care to ensure every piece has been meticulously put together for the consumer.
Modern furniture can take on a whole new life when it's done correctly. When artisans take solid oak and ash components and put them together with industrial, elegance, and functionality at the forefront, compelling design flow can begin on the interior of a house. You may not need something extreme, which is why there are simple solutions found here as well as complex.
The selection doesn't just factor in hard surfaces, and solid wood framing, as you can easily pick up something a bit left of centre. You'll find that glass pieces and metal framing also seems to fit the design flow of many of hard to please consumers. This is evidenced in the Montana oak & metal by Mark Harris, Roma walnut & glass, reclaimed solutions by Shankar, and even chic pieces from Baumhaus. No matter what your design choices are, and no matter what your existing home looks like, these pieces can all become staples of the energy flow inside your domicile.
Perhaps the most spectacular thing to consider about all the furniture that you will find, is that there are also pieces for children's rooms. Whether you want to give your child a modern twist on classic design, or you want something solid, the Children's Nutkins solid ash by Baumhaus will definitely suffice. Exploring furniture has never been so eclectic, fun and compelling, that's for sure.
Including several large UK suppliers including TFW Furniture, Mark Harris, Baumhaus and Ametis.

Remember the battles over School Busing?
Mississippi School District Ordered to End Racial Segregation
A federal judge gave a school district in Mississippi 30 days to halt the 'clustering' of white students into certain schools and classes, saying it amounted to segregation.
A federal judge on Tuesday ordered a Mississippi school district to halt local policies that had allowed some of the district's schools and classes to become racially segregated.
US District Judge Tom Lee gave the Walthall County School District 30 days to amend its student transfer policy and ordered an immediate halt to the alleged "clustering" of white students into certain classes in Tylertown, Miss., elementary schools.
"The district shall cease using race in the assignment of students to classrooms in a manner that results in the racial segregation of students," Judge Lee said in his eight-page order.
"The district shall randomly assign students to classrooms at the Tylertown Elementary Schools through the use of a student management software program," the judge said.
Desegregation Order Dates Back 40 Years
The action stems from a federal desegregation order issued in August 1970 – nearly 40 years ago. The case was closed for lack of activity in 2001. Continue reading

Michigan Beer and Wine Distribution's Core Issues
Michigan's family owned beer and wine distributors are on the front lines of some core issues that affect the citizens of our state – from supporting strong regulations that help keep alcohol away from minors and dangerous products away from consumers to leading the way in recycling and clean fuels to fighting for good-paying local jobs.
The Three-Tier System
Driving Competition, Providing Control, Protecting the Public
The citizens of Michigan benefit from a system of control of alcohol that balances public safety and competition. With roots dating back to the repeal of prohibition, today's licensed three-tier system results in the transparent and accountable commerce of beer and wine, provides control of the products as demanded by the public and offers tremendous choice at competitive prices.
The independence of each tier (brewers, distributors and retailers) prevents the formation of vertical monopolies and corrupt sales practices in the beer and wine industries. The licensing of individuals/companies who engage in the manufacture, distribution and sale of alcohol, coupled with the enforcement capabilities inherent in such a system, help to prevent sales to minors, drunk driving and excessive consumption.
Historical and Modern Day Benefits to the Three-Tier System:
- Distributors help ensure compliance with Michigan's laws and regulations relating to the sale and distribution of beer and wine.
- The system creates an efficient framework for ensuring the protection and collection of state excise taxes.
- The system makes the bottle bill work by requiring distributors to pick up empty containers from every retail location in their assigned territories.
- The beer and wine distributor is the link to beverages brought in from out-of-state which need to be tracked through the system in the event of tainted product and the need for a recall.
- The beer and wine distributor creates a paper trail for tracking sales, discouraging "gray market" activity (purchases from unauthorized sources).
- As local community activists, beer and wine distributors work with other local groups to reduce underage consumption and drunk driving.
The three-tier system also creates market efficiencies. The independent distributor has an incentive to maintain a diverse product portfolio and to buy from many brewers for sale to ALL licensed retailers. This gives the consumer the widest of product choices, from the major brands to micro-brewed specialty products at competitive prices.
Michigan's High Beer, Wine Tax Hurts Jobs, Consumers
Beer and Wine Excise Taxes Hurt Lower and Middle-Income Americans.
Taxes on beer account for over 40 percent of the total retail price. Approximately 50 percent of all beer purchased in the U.S. is bought by consumers with household incomes of $50,000 per year or less. The impact of excise taxes is 6.5 times greater on households in the lowest income brackets than on those with higher incomes.
Raising Excise Taxes Will Kill Michigan Jobs.
According to a recent study by the national Beer Institute, Michigan's beer industry – from producers and the family-owned distributors to the the retailers, restaurants and other local businesses – provided jobs for more than 60,000 people in 2008. Michigan's beer industry also generates more than $200 million in taxes.
Michigan's Excise Taxes are the Highest in the Region.
Because Michigan's excise taxes are already the highest in the region, Michigan businesses are at a disadvantage with other neighboring states. We lose businesses, jobs and even revenue to Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin. Michigan's excise tax on beer is 300% higher than neighboring Wisconsin. Raising the tax will only provide incentive for individuals to purchase beer and wine in our neighbor states.
The Michigan Liquor Control Commission has recently warned that smugglers who buy cheaper alcohol in other states rob Michigan taxpayers of millions of much-needed dollars every year – money that pays for critical public services, such as schools and public safety. Raising the beer tax will only worsen the smuggling problem, rob Michigan families of even more tax dollars and hurt Michigan businesses.
Economic Impact: Beer and Wine Distributors
The beer and wine industries contribute significantly to the economies of both the United States and Michigan. Please visit the following website for more information: BeerServesAmerica.org
While the numbers you will find at the above website clearly indicate the significant economic impact which the beer and wine industries have upon both the United States and Michigan, they don't provide a "feel" for what an average beer and wine distributor in Michigan looks like. The following profile attempts to show just that:
|The Average Michigan Distributor: Investments (Jobs & Wages)
Average number of Employees: 79
MB&WWA Sales: Annual sales (beer, wine, mixed spirit and other)
$1.59 billion
Economic investment (fleet & property):
Total number of Vehicles: 3,300
Recycling and Conservation
Michigan's beer and wine distributors are among the largest recyclers of cans, bottles and cardboard in the entire state. Every year, Michigan distributors recycle tens of millions of pounds of these materials, keeping them out of our landfills and protecting our Great Lakes, land and air for future generations to enjoy.
How much distributors recycle will vary from one to the other. To give an idea, an average distributor can recycle more than 1 million pounds of cans and between 800,000 to well beyond a million pounds of glass each year.
Michigan distributors are often the largest recyclers in their communities – and it's a commitment we're proud to keep.
At the same time, Michigan distributors are also state and national leaders when it comes to using biofuels and hybrid vehicles, which reduces our dangerous dependence on foreign oil. Our commitment to clean homegrown renewable fuels strengthens our nation's energy security, keeps our dollars here and creates local jobs. One of our distributors was the first in the nation to build a full hybrid-bio-fuel truck fleet. And many distributors use bio fuels to power their trucks and other vehicles.
Michigan distributors are also aggressively investing in energy efficient and sustainable practices at their facilities, from efficient light bulbs to energy efficient coolers to cutting edge new building materials and designs. We're reducing energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption.
We strongly believe in sustainability, recycling and conservation not only because they help save energy costs – they also all help create local jobs. Distributors often hire full-time employees just for their recycling operations. And energy efficiency and renewable fuels all create American and Michigan jobs, instead of sending them to other states or countries.
Recycling and conservation – good for the bottom line, good for working families and good for Michigan's future.
Territorial Integrity for Wine
Wine Territory Integrity: Protecting Businesses, Jobs, Fair Play
Under Michigan's three-tier distribution system for beer and wine, a distributor must be appointed by a wine or beer supplier to service a specific geographic area, or territory, within the state. For all alcoholic beverages except wine, Michigan prohibits a supplier from appointing more than one distributor for the same products in a given territory, thereby ensuring territorial integrity for the State of Michigan and each distributor. The practice of appointing two or more distributors to the same product(s) for the same territory violates territorial integrity, a system that protects consumers, small businesses and local jobs.
Michigan law first mandated territorial integrity for beer distributors in 1976. Legislation mandating territorial integrity for wine coolers and spirit coolers was enacted in 1989 and the Michigan Liquor Control Commission is the "exclusive" distributor for spirits throughout Michigan. This needs to be extended to wine.
The Advantages of Territorial Integrity:
From a regulatory perspective, territorial integrity accomplishes three important public policy objectives:
- Protects consumers from tainted, counterfeit or defective products by enabling the enforcing agency to know exactly who to contact to get a brand removed from a distributor's warehouse and retailer's shelves in the event of a product recall.
- Simplifies the audit system and the enforcement of trade practice violations. State regulators know exactly who is responsible for selling a particular brand to a retailer in a given area and can determine how much of the brand is being sold, the prices being paid by the retailer, the terms of sale and if the appropriate taxes are being paid.
- Allows suppliers and state regulators to guarantee that every retailer, regardless of size, has access to every brand and package variety of products sold in that market area on a timely basis. This ensures that consumers have the widest choice of brands and packages at convenient locations, thereby enhancing competition, strengthening local businesses and protecting jobs.
Wine distributors should be treated the same as beer, wine cooler and spirit cooler distributors. As proven in the over 30 years since legislation was passed giving beer distributors territorial integrity, such a law promotes inter-brand competition, consumer choice, product integrity and tax accountability, while upholding the spirit and intent of beer and wine wholesaling franchise laws and protecting local businesses and jobs. It is time to protect the territorial integrity of wine distribution and pass laws that level the playing field and ensure everyone follows the same fair rules.

Police stand guard as miners allegedly involved in the clashes at the Marikana mine arrive at the Ga-Rankuwa courthouse.
JOHANNESBURG: South African prosecutors Thursday charged 270 mine workers with the murder of 34 striking colleagues shot dead by police, in a decision panned as "madness."
Police said they acted in self-defense when they opened fire on workers at a platinum mine outside Rustenburg, northwest of Johannesburg, killing 34, after a standoff that had already killed 10 including two police officers.
The incident was the worst day of police violence in South Africa since the end of white-minority apartheid rule in 1994.
Prosecuting authorities said the 270 detained workers would face trial for the murder of their colleagues.
"The court today charged all the workers with murder, under the common purpose law," the spokesman for the prosecutor's office Frank Lesenyego said.
He did not give details, saying they would be revealed in court next week.
But Julius Malema, a former youth leader with the ruling ANC, said he was dismayed by the decision to charge the miners who survived the Aug. 16 bloodbath at the Marikana mine.
"That is madness. The whole world saw police kill those workers. The policemen who killed those miners are not in custody," he said.
A legal expert also questioned the decision to lay charges.
"In charging the miners for the death of miners killed by the police, I don't see how common purpose doctrine could be used here," said Vincent Nmehille, a law professor at the University of the Witwatersrand, referring to a so-called common purpose law under which they had been charged.
A Pullitzer Prize-winning photographer alleged Thursday that police shot the strikers dead "in cold blood."
"Heavily armed police hunted down and killed the miners in cold blood," wrote South African photographer Greg Marinovich on the Daily Maverick news website.
Most of the dead were shot away from blaring cameras, said Marinovich.
"A minority were killed in the filmed event where police claim they acted in self-defense. The rest was murder on a massive scale."
Meanwhile, talks to end the dispute continued with mine owners Lonmin and mediators optimistic about a breakthrough to end the three-week strike over wages.
The talks brokered by government officials entered their second day after negotiators met for 12 straight hours the day before in Rustenburg.
"I think today will be the deciding day in terms of the way forward. I think it's D-Day," mediator Bishop Jo Seoka from the South African Council of Churches told AFP.
Lonmin spokeswoman Sue Vey said the government mediation was "very constructive."
"We hope to find a resolution today," she told AFP.
The company wants a "peace accord" sealed before starting negotiations on workers' wage demands. But workers, who say they earn 4,000 rand ($470) a month and want 12,500 rand, insist they will not go back underground until their demands are met.
Representatives of big player the National Union of Mineworkers and the smaller Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union, whose bitter rivalry has been blamed for the unrest at the mine, are also at the talks.
A strike leader, Zolisa Bodlani, told workers gathered near the hill where police shot dead their colleagues that wage demands would be discussed.
The strike has paralyzed operations at Lonmin's Marikana mine since 3,000 rock drill operators downed tools on Aug. 10.
As the deadlock approached its fourth week, worker attendance slid even further with only 6.6 percent of the 28,000-strong workforce reporting for duty Thursday. It was 7.7 percent Wednesday.
Mines Minister Susan Shabangu has meanwhile tried to calm investors' nerves over the strike that has paralyzed operations at the Marikana mine which accounts for about 92 percent of Lonmin's annual output.
"We urge our investors, incumbent and prospective, to take comfort in the solid foundations set by our constitution, government, legal and civil institutions and the leadership shown by our government," Shabangu said in a speech delivered Wednesday at a conference in Perth, Australia.
London-listed Lonmin lies on South Africa's platinum belt where Anglo-American Platinum, the world's leading producer of the metal used in car exhausts and jewelry, is also based.

Was Michelangelo's painting of the Sistine Chapel ceiling inspired by religion, or just funded by it? Photograph: Carmine Flamminio/ Carmine Flamminio/Demotix/Corbis
Further to the correspondence inspired by Ian Flintoff on Richard Dawkins, the notion that religious inspiration has contributed to the bulk of great art in the past (Letters, 16 August) needs more careful examination.
For a significant period of European history, including the pre-Christian Roman era, commercial success for an artist, and therefore survival of art works to the present day, entailed tacit or more often explicit conformity with social, political and especially religious norms, in societies where religious institutions formed a key part of the political power structures. It was the power of those institutions to employ artists and pay for their materials which "inspired" or prompted the production of art. It is noteworthy also that in societies where the religious institutions largely discouraged or refused to fund the production of figural art, such art flourished within the more limited secular market, although survival of its products has been significantly hampered by those same religious institutions.
Artists may or may not have been "inspired by religion", but we will never know, except in those rare cases where they explicitly denied such inspiration and usually suffered the consequences. For the rest, we can only try to read implicit meaning from their work – a notoriously inaccurate form of analysis, rather akin to the belief system espoused by Flintoff himself and so coherently criticised by Dawkins and other rationalists.

Four marble maidens from ancient Greece have just gotten a facelift. Using a specially designed laser, conservators have labored since 2011 to strip away the black grime that encrusted the statues. Today the final figure to undergo the treatment is being revealed in all her splendor in the new Acropolis Museum in Athens, which celebrates its fifth anniversary this Friday, June 20.
Sculpted in the late fifth century B.C., the draped figures served as columns for the Erechtheion, one of the temples that stood on the Acropolis, the sacred rocky hill that rises 512 feet (156 meters) above the modern Greek capital.

This week, we learned that two important Cambodian sandstone sculptures from the 10th century — one in the collection of the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California, and the other seized from Sotheby's New York in 2012 — will be returned to the Kingdom of Cambodia after being looted in the 1970s.
Yesterday, the Norton Simon Museum announced that they would be making a "gift" of the colossal sculpture, known as the Bhima, after nearly four decades on display in its institution. And today, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations announced the return of the Duryodhana, the companion sculpture to the Bhima, to the Kingdom of Cambodia.

The network of 236 sandstone caves extend over an area of two to three kilometres in the vast, sparsely-populated autonomous Xinjiang region of China, along the ancient Silk Road
Urgent conservation work is needed to save a series of caves in northwest China containing ancient murals by Buddhist monks, which are threatened with destruction from the forces of nature.
The network of 236 sandstone caves extend over an area of two to three kilometres in the vast, sparsely-populated autonomous Xinjiang region of China, along the ancient Silk Road. The caves were inhabited by Buddhist monks and used as temples between the third and the eighth centuries, and are lined with murals providing a rich picture of early Buddhist culture.
The caves, known locally as Kezer, are prone to deterioration, particularly from moisture, because of their geological composition, which includes many soluble salts. Although the region is very dry, any rainwater could have "distastrous consequences", according to Giorgio Bonsanti, an expert in wall painting preservation. He told our sister paper, Il Giornale dell'Arte, "the signs of progressive decay, which in the long term would turn everything to sand, are dramatically evident."

The government of Aragon, an autonomous region in the north east of Spain, is formally asking the neighbouring government of Catalonia to return Romanesque frescos that are in the collection of the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña, Barcelona, the Spanish newspaper, El País reports.
The frescoes, which date from the early 13th century, were saved during the Spanish Civil War from the monastery of Santa María la Real de Sijena, which was badly damaged during the conflict.
Aragon has long claimed the frescos. This year the order of nuns, which has used what remains of the monastery buildings since the 1980s, ceded the historic property in the province of Huesca in the Spanish pyrenees to the Aragonese government. Aragon and the Fondación Caja Madrid spent €3.3m restoring the monastery between 1988 and 2009, according to the regional government's website.

The Romans may have first come across the colorful potential of nanoparticles by accident, but they seem to have perfected it. (The Trustees of the British Museum / Art Resource, NY)
The colorful secret of a 1,600-year-old Roman chalice at the British Museum is the key to a supersensitive new technology that might help diagnose human disease or pinpoint biohazards at security checkpoints.
The glass chalice, known as the Lycurgus Cup because it bears a scene involving King Lycurgus of Thrace, appears jade green when lit from the front but blood-red when lit from behind—a property that puzzled scientists for decades after the museum acquired the cup in the 1950s. The mystery wasn't solved until 1990, when researchers in England scrutinized broken fragments under a microscope and discovered that the Roman artisans were nanotechnology pioneers: They'd impregnated the glass with particles of silver and gold, ground down until they were as small as 50 nanometers in diameter, less than one-thousandth the size of a grain of table salt. The exact mixture of the precious metals suggests the Romans knew what they were doing—"an amazing feat," says one of the researchers, archaeologist Ian Freestone of University College London.

When it began its tour at the J. Paul Getty Museum in April, "Sicily: Art and Invention Between Greece and Rome" was supposed to crown years of effort by some American museums to patch up relations with Italy over claims of looted antiquities.
Featuring dozens of antiquities from Sicilian collections, the exhibition at the Getty Villa in Malibu, Calif., was scheduled to go to the Cleveland Museum of Art this fall before a final showing in Palermo next winter.
But all has not gone smoothly.
Sicilian officials now say that two star attractions — a dramatic six-foot-tall statue of a charioteer and an immaculate gold libation bowl, or phiale — should not travel to Cleveland because their absence is depriving Sicily of tourist dollars. And in a letter sent to the Getty and Cleveland museums this week, Sicily's highest cultural official, Mariarita Sgarlata, noted that the region — which enjoys broad autonomy from Rome to shape its cultural policy — never signed a contract authorizing the exhibition in the first place.
In fact, the items were shipped from Italy months ago while the contract was being negotiated by Sicilian cultural officials who are no longer in office.

The boats, which were deliberately sunk into the long-dried-up creek, have been well preserved and still show carvings
A fleet of eight prehistoric boats, including one almost nine metres long, has been discovered in a Cambridgeshire quarry on the outskirts of Peterborough.
The vessels, all deliberately sunk more than 3,000 years ago, are the largest group of bronze age boats ever found in the same UK site and most are startlingly well preserved. One is covered inside and out with decorative carving described by conservator Ian Panter as looking "as if they'd been playing noughts and crosses all over it". Another has handles carved from the oak tree trunk for lifting it out of the water. One still floated after 3,000 years and one has traces of fires lit on the wide flat deck on which the catch was evidently cooked.
Several had ancient repairs, including clay patches and an extra section shaped and pinned in where a branch was cut away. They were preserved by the waterlogged silt in the bed of a long-dried-up creek, a tributary of the river Nene, which buried them deep below the ground.

Destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, Pompeii survived excavation starting in the 18th century and has stoically borne the wear and tear of millions of modern-day tourists.
But now, its deep-hued frescoes, brick walls and elegant tile mosaics appear to be at risk from an even greater threat: the bureaucracy of the Italian state.
In recent years, collapses at the site have alarmed conservationists, who warn that this ancient Roman city is dangerously exposed to the elements — and is poorly served by the red tape, the lack of strategic planning and the limited personnel of the site's troubled management.
The site's decline has captured the attention of the European Union, which began a $137 million effort in February that aims to balance preservation with accessibility to tourists. Called the Great Pompeii Project, the effort also seeks to foster a culture-driven economy in an area dominated by the Neapolitan Mafia.

The New Ear Infection Rules
Treating kids' ear infections used to be pretty straightforward: Your pediatrician simply handed you a prescription for an antibiotic. Maybe your child is now so familiar with "the pink stuff" that she can practically measure it into the dispenser herself. And you probably know a kid who got multiple ear infections that left his ear so clogged with fluid that it wouldn't drain, so he got ear tubes.
Both treatments are still important weapons in the seemingly endless battle against acute otitis media, the medical term for an infection (almost always bacterial) of the middle ear. Otitis media occurs when the narrow passage connecting the middle ear to the throat swells, and fluid and pressure build behind the eardrum, causing severe pain. But recent research suggests that drugs and surgery are overused. This worries experts, because handing out unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions fuels the rise of antibiotic-resistant germs.
As a result, many medical organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), now have guidelines that recommend fewer medical interventions for ear infections. First issued in 2004, the guidelines are regularly bolstered by new research, and doctors have gotten on board. "There's been a major shift in thinking," says Allan Lieberthal, MD, a pediatrician with Kaiser-Permanente in Panorama City, California.
Here's the advice you're likely to get from your pediatrician these days -- and why it's best for your child."Let's watch and wait."
When you'll hear it: Most of the time.
Ear infections are the most common reason pediatricians prescribe antibiotics, and for some children, drugs are a good choice. But it's not a wise idea to be the parent who demands antibiotics every time your child tugs at his ear. Side effects such as diarrhea, stomach pain, and rashes affect around 7 percent of kids. And doctors worry that many forms of bacteria, including the strain that usually causes ear infections, are becoming resistant to antibiotics, making the drugs less effective against more serious infections. In a University of Texas Medical Branch study that compared watchful waiting with medication, children who received antibiotics were much more likely to carry drug-resistant bacteria by the study's end.
Another reason watchful waiting makes sense: Studies show that about 80 percent of ear infections clear up on their own within a week, since the immune system kills invading bacteria or viruses naturally anyway. In fact, 60 percent of kids feel better in just one day. "Often, a child begins crying and complaining during the night, and by the time I see him in my office the next morning, he's already fine," says Edward O. Cox, MD, director of the division of primary care at DeVos Children's Hospital, in Grand Rapids. "Why prescribe an antibiotic when a child gets better without one?" The AAP agrees and now suggests postponing medications for most ear infections, which spares parents the hassle of forcing kids to swallow syrups, remembering doses, and making sure that all caregivers follow the instructions.
This approach is only appropriate, however, when your child definitely has an ear infection; if it could be a serious illness such as pneumonia or bacterial meningitis, he needs an antibiotic immediately. So the first thing your pediatrician will do is look for telltale ear-infection symptoms: fussiness, crying, fever, and tugging at the ear. If he sees a swollen or stiff eardrum, redness, and fluid when he looks in your child's ear, that usually confirms the diagnosis. If you agree to take a watch-and-wait approach -- treat your child's pain as directed by his pediatrician and track his symptoms -- he should gradually get better over the next 48 to 72 hours. Definitely call the doctor if your child doesn't feel like playing or still has pain or a fever beyond that point.

Asylum Access Tanzania (AATZ) provides legal assistance to Tanzania's growing population of urban refugees. Tanzania has become a critical safe haven for refugees fleeing conflict in the Great Lakes region and the Horn of Africa. It continues to host one of the largest refugee populations in Africa.
Although Tanzania is a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, refugees are required to live in camps where they face severe constraints on their right to move freely and to seek safe and legal employment. Due to the overcrowded and often unsanitary living conditions, many refugees choose to live outside camps in one of Tanzania's cities. Some refugees flee because their persecutors are also living in the same camps. Yet only a small number have legal permits to leave.
As a result, refugees living outside camps are under constant risk of arrest and detention and find it difficult to seek justice or protection. Without legal status, many refugees cannot work to feed their families and live in poverty on urban margins. AATZ's legal assistance helps refugees win release from unjust detention, access employment, attend university, reunite with family members, access food and housing, and obtain legal permission to remain outside the camps when needed.
Our Know Your Rights trainings empower refugees to understand their rights, while Women's Empowerment Groups help refugee women access specialized training, counseling and support. AATZ is also reaching out to undocumented refugees through Refugee Ambassadors, refugees working to conduct outreach to urban refugees, to better address their needs.
Through policy advocacy, AATZ is working to transform local laws and practices to match Tanzania's commitment to international refugee laws and human rights standards. This includes encouraging the Tanzanian government to adopt a policy on urban refugees as well as efforts to raise awareness about the administrative detention of refugees and asylum seekers.
On November 28, 2011, Asylum Access Tanzania released a landmark report on urban refugees living in Dar es Salaam, based on a survey of 122 refugees. No Place Called Home reports on the urban refugee population with genuine claims to refugee status and their rights under Tanzanian law. Asylum Access sought to better understand the protection needs of this population, of which no official estimation exists.

Although some fans may be silent about it, the regular faces in the moves have become over-used. Some actors appear in almost every movie on African Magic, billboards along the roads and on some products. Still, few actors make brief but significant appearances on screen and for reasons best known to them, remain on the sidelines in anticipation of the best time to give a striking shot. Kemi Afolabi, an actress who made her entrant in the movie industry with her lead role in Alagbara is a classic example.
Trained as a lawyer, Kemi's acting skills are innate. Despite being Funke Akindele's classmate at University of Lagos, Kemi would not have thought of pursuing an acting career just when she was close to becoming a lawyer. But an encounter changed her life for good. While relaxing under the Senate building of the university, a Yoruba movie producer, Oladele Martins thought she had a "Nollywood face".
He soon discovered that it was more than just a pretty face and landed her a lead role in her first movie. In the movie, she played the role of a lawyer and found out that her professional background was relevant in providing logistics support to the interpretation of the story. In a recent chat with THISDAY, she spoke at length on the movie industry and her renewed effort to make a change after her short break in movie appearances to raise a family in the United Kingdom.
"All the years that I was in the UK, there was no day I didn't think of acting. Although acting wasn't what I set out to do, I developed the passion for it. When I saw the seriousness of the actors at locations, especially in the way they enter the character being played, I knew that acting was no child's play. After that movie, I started getting other jobs. I was thrilled that people were impressed. I felt fulfilled, loved and appreciated. It spurned me on to do more."
Though happy with the remarkable change that the industry has made over the years, she, now a movie producer, expressed her concern on the problem of piracy.
"More Nigerians movies are being screened at the cinemas. Before, Hollywood films dominated our cinemas. The industry has earned more respect. The prejudice against the acting profession in Nigeria has also waned. Some fail to distinguish an actor's character from the real self. Just because someone plays a character does not mean that is how the person is in real life. Piracy is a major challenge for the industry. It is really sad. One person will just duplicate a movie into several copies or worse still makes copies of about ten movies on a disc. It is heart-breaking. Also, if there are some infrastructural provisions from the government, the pressure will be less on the producer while making a movie."
Speaking on the stereotypical casting that is common in the movie industry, Kemi, who acted in Jenifa 1 as the student who lent Jenifa her UK clothes revealed that although she had always been given the "posh role" she would not want to be boxed in the same character.
"I was in Super Story. I was playing someone's wife. No doubt, everyone one has unique skills. I believe before a producer or director can approach me to act in a movie, there must be something in me. I interprete any given role very well. Playing the same role kills an actor professionally. In the industry, if you have done one particular role very well, they will keep on calling you to do similar role in other movies. I just left Said Balogun's set. I know a lot of people will be surprised to see me play the role that I did."
Kemi Algbara, as she is popularly called, didn't want to reveal her selling point but explained why most producers make the same kind of movies and shy away from experimenting with movie content.
"The industry is deeper than what people think. The problem of doing something different lies in the marketability of the movie. The marketer tells you that it is the movie where women reveal more flesh that people buy. You may find that hard to reconcile that the same people who complain that the Nigerian girls are careless in their dressing and still the ones demanding for such movies.
"On paying attention to details, I see my movies to the post-production stage. I want the best always. The mistakes you have noticed in movies are often directorial. The director should have pointed it out where an actor is putting on a wrong costume. When a director has little funding and he has to take on the role of the production manager, continuity manager, costumier and wants to play the lead role, and all that, he will miss some important things. When there is sufficient funding for the movie, you can take the load off."
The question of the vulnerability of the young female actresses in the movie industry was also raised. Thankfully, Kemi gives opportunities to fresh faces in her movies. She however advised girls to be educated before taking to the acting profession.
"If you are too naïve or too desperate, you will be used. Look at my example, I wasn't even interested in the first place. I was persuaded. There was no way someone would want me to trade sexual favours for a role. Individuals are different. If you are the type that gives the director the green light, he will obviously take the cue and tell you what you don't want to hear. I recruit fresh faces. I try to encourage the green uns."
She said she favoured scripted drama for the industry, adding that the use of language cannot be under estimated.
Kemi Afolabi has acted in scores of movies including Jenifa, Ere, Si Gbogbo Obirin, Omo Pupa, Maku, Oju Apa Temi which is a self- produced 2011 movie. She is set to launch her next production Ajilo' da in 2013.

Center Stand for XR650L and XT225
View Single Post
Cigar Mike
Too Old and Too Slow
Joined: Jan 2007
Location: Centennial, Co
Oddometer: 1,484
TE610 Stand
I went over to Mountain Eagle's and test fit a couple of center stands. Solved most of the problems with the stand. The new spring works better but there is still a adjustment needed for clearance. That looks like that will be easy to fix.
I still don't like the stop for the up position. It works fine after it is up and rides fine. But the hit from the spring on the rubber stop does allow the stand to hit the lower chain roller bracket. If the stand is not restrained manually when the bike is taken off the stand I am afraid it could do damage to the bracket over time. It would not be a problem for me since even on my bike I manually return the stand to the up position. Mtne made a couple of suggestions on how to solve this and I will be working on those this week.
Other then that it appears the stand is very close to being ready.
Thanks for your help Mountain Eagle, it is appreciated.
Cigar Mike
When in doubt, give it Gas!
