SALT LAKE CITY An energy company received federal approval Thursday to open one of Utah's biggest natural gas fields by agreeing to use new technology to drill under wild areas, instead of on top of them.
The Bureau of Land Management's approval of Bill Barrett Corp.'s multi-billion-dollar project reflects a deal the drilling company made with environmental groups to pull back from wild areas and limit well pads off the high rim of the Green River's Desolation Canyon.
That canyon, a National Historic Landmark inside one of the Lower 48's largest roadless areas, has seen little change since explorer John Wesley Powell remarked on "a region of wildest desolation" while boating the river in 1896. The area is populated by elk, deer and bighorn sheep, and bear maulings of river runners are not uncommon.
Along the river's western ramparts, Bill Barrett plans to use 120 well pads instead of the 538 it originally proposed, and it will drill directionally instead of straight down to get at the gas pockets deep beneath wild lands. It promised to hide wells into folds of the landscape and limit development activity during summer so rafters on the Green River can't spy the company's trucks or rigs from thousands of feet below.
The company also plans to drill fewer wells than planned -- 626 instead of 807 -- but still recover the full reserve from a region called the West Tavaputs Plateau.
"We think it's one of the most environmentally progressive natural gas projects," said Duane Zavadil, a vice president for Bill Barrett Corp.
Shares of the Denver-based company climbed $2.70, or 8.4 percent, to $34.81 in afternoon trading.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar hailed the company's compromise and called the agreement historic.Copyright © 2015, Orlando Sentinel

Nice guys are easy to find, just click below
My name is Rob and I find writing these things a little difficult but here I go. On the weekends I like to go hang out with friends, go out, watch movies and try new thinks. I'm laid back but I can be adventurous. In the summer I like the beach and to play softball. I work as an environmental engineering and I really like it. I'm relatively new to Baltimore but I've found a great group of friends to do things with so it already feels like home. I came up from Florida so I'm curious about things that I can do when it gets cold out. I think I'm pretty fun and am looking to meet someone that is fun also. I want someone that can be serious but can also be goofy some times. If you'd like to know more, message me.

Fells Point and the Inner Harbor are fun but I really like seeing the other parts of Baltimore also.
Transformers, The Departed, Inception, The Dark Knight, Anchor Man, The Hangover. Sometimes I need the extra excitement in the movies to really get into them. I've always been a fan of comedies. My favorite food is probably the Mexican "Burrito".
Some things that I like to do for fun are paintball, comedy clubs, going to Fell's point, seeing a movie, going to a concert. I can be very outgoing.
I am more of a writer, not so much a reader.

Just a normal guy looking for the same.
Not quite sure how to describe myself, but I'll give it a shot. I consider myself to be a nice guy, but not a pushover. I think I work hard and play hard; although that balance may have swung a bit from playing harder when I was younger to working harder now. In general, I think I'm a casual person - in my interactions with people, how I dress (I would be happy to wear shorts and a t-shirt everyday), and in what I like to do. I'll take a dive bar over a club, and I've also always been more than happy to not go out and instead just hang with friends, drink cheap beer and play games. I love the outdoors. Whether it's just biking or walking around the city, or really getting into nature. For pretty much my entire life my favorite activity has been camping. I'm not a foodie, but I do enjoy a good meal at a nice restaurant. But also am happy with whatever is convenient and quickly fills my belly. Definitely a music fan, and have hit up a lot of concerts in my life. Very varied musical taste, but lean towards folk, bluegrass, that sort of thing. As far as what I look for in others, I think number one is someone who is genuine, and genuinely nice. My first instinct is to like new people, and I prefer to be around others who have that same reaction. Not sure what exactly I'm looking for. Nothing too serious at first at least. Ideally, I'd like to find someone who I consider a great friend more than anything else.

Martin Kaymer of Germany is the latest European star to join the U.S. PGA Tour. Kaymer has been eligible to become a U.S. tour member since he won the U.S. PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in 2010. According to the tour, five international players will be members next year. In addition to Kaymer, the others are Peter Hanson of Sweden, Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium, Ryo Ishikawa of Japan and David Lynn of England, the runner-up at this year's U.S. PGA Championship. Kaymer, who holed the clinching putt for Europe in the Ryder Cup, will be considered a tour rookie, even though his 10 career wins include a major and World Golf Championship. His decision means 28 of the top 30 players in the world ranking will be U.S. tour members.

Iran Turns To Afghanistan When Laundering Money
Originally published on Fri September 28, 2012 6:15 pm
There may be international sanctions against Iran, but not in Afghanistan's border provinces with the Islamic Republic where trade and money-laundering are thriving. Every day, millions in Iranian currency are brought in by taxis ferrying passengers. The Iranian money is exchanged for dollars, which are then shipped back to Iran. American officials recently ordered the Afghan banks to crack down on this phenomenon and it appears to be having some effect. But Afghan money changers claim the money-laundering will never stop unless border guards stop accepting bribes and letting the Iranians in.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- The Carolina Panthers have placed projected starting right guard Geoff Schwartz on injured reserve, one of seven roster moves to get them down to the league-mandated limit of 80 players.
The Panthers also waived/injured a pair of former draft picks -- quarterback Tony Pike and guard Duke Robinson -- and released long snapper Chris Massey. The team also placed tight end Gary Barnidge, wide receiver David Gettis and offensive lineman Zack Williams on injured reserve.
Schwartz hadn't practiced since injuring his hip at Fan Fest on Aug. 7.
Coach Ron Rivera says he hopes Schwartz can take care of the injury and "be ready to go" next season.

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
Heat a nonstick skillet or stove-top grill pan, add the chorizo slices or chunks, and sauté gently on all sides until the juices run and the edges are slightly crisp. Set aside.
Mix the vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl or pitcher. Use some of the mixture to brush the zucchini halves, then add them to the still-hot pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until hot and golden.
Put the chicken into a large salad bowl and add the lettuce leaves and olives. Drizzle over the remaining vinaigrette, then add the chorizo and its juices, and the cilantro or parsley. Toss well, then serve immediately with garlic bread, toasted ciabatta, or warmed focaccia.

1870 Quarter Eagle, PR651870 $2 1/2 PR65 PCGS. CAC. Another in the string of remarkable rarities from this superb consignment, the present Gem proof 1870 quarter eagle is the sole finest certified at PCGS with non-Cameo surfaces, tied numerically with a single PR65 Deep Cameo (8/12). Amazingly, only four submissions appear for the 1870 quarter eagle proof in all unimpaired grades, the other two both PR64 non-Cameo examples. PCGS has also seen two proofs that it graded PR58, i.e. lightly circulated examples.
Eye-Appealing and Conditionally Rare
Eye-Appealing and Conditionally Rare
The situation is similar at NGC, which has also seen four submissions in all unimpaired grades: one in 60, one each in 61 Cameo and 66 Cameo, and one in 66 Ultra Cameo. Given the total of eight submissions at both services combined, we would be surprised if a dozen examples of the issue survive to this day.
What factors combine to make the proof 1870 quarter eagles so rare? The mintage is one obvious starting point, a recorded 35 pieces, but the Mint may not have sold all of those coins during the Reconstruction Era, quietly melting them as unsold at year-end. The meager mintage of circulation strikes was only 4,520 pieces, as well. The presence of a couple of lightly circulated proofs in the certified populations points up another factor -- attrition -- that is always a factor in proof gold from more than 140 years ago. Perhaps some other examples were spent and not recovered from circulation, until they became so worn as to be unrecognizable today.
This Gem offers moderate field-device contrast on deep orange-colored surfaces, not quite at the Cameo level but still perceptible and extremely attractive. Lovely lilac accents appear on Liberty's neck and the interstices of the coronet around LIBERTY. The reverse shows similar colors, orange and gold with lilac glints around the eagle. The eye appeal and conditional rarity are equally compelling.

Playhouse offers stagings of book classics
The Laguna Playhouse is bringing childhood literary favorites to the stage this winter with adaptations of award-winning novel "The Giver" and a twist on two fairy tales, "Hansel & Gretel and Cinderella."
"The Giver," based on the book by Lois Lowry, will run Feb. 17 and 18.
"'The Giver' offers young theater-goers an opportunity to see one of their favorite books brought to life. With stark images and haunting themes, audiences will leave the theater with discussion material for days," Director Donna Inglima said in a statement.
"Hansel & Gretel and Cinderella" will tell the fairy tales in two different acts. The show runs from Feb. 24 to March 4.
"These vibrant stories are full of magic, thrills and plenty of laughter. This is a wonderful opportunity for a cultural family outing," Director Kelly Herman said in a statement.

Select Local Merchants
Orange Lunch BoxRead MoreAli Bahramian wanted to combine the casual atmosphere and quick service of a coffee shop, a diner, and a fast-food eatery, so he decided to start his own from scratch. He developed his own menu built on sandwich, salad, and soup recipes he created himself, enlisted the help of his architect wife Mariam to design a space, and selected soothing jazz and blues music as a backdrop for his eatery. Within the fully realized Orange Lunch Box, Ali and his staff bake fresh sandwich bread in-house each day and chocolate-chip cookies each hour to pair with cups of coffee. The culinary crew serves salads and sandwiches topped with a range of meats and cheeses, Italian-inspired spreads, and local produce. Orange Lunch Box's interior eschews the presence of television and instead captures diners' attention with a color palette of warm orange, cool green, and room-temperature purple.1379 S Voss RdHouston, TX US
Yorktown DeliRead MoreTucked away under a flight of stairs lies a family-owned eatery where meaty sandwiches and wraps reign supreme. Yorktown Deli's chefs layer grilled chicken, fresh avocado, lettuce, tomato, and pesto in the italian chicken sandwich, which arrives fresh from the kitchen in the shape of Italy. Other sandwiches include tuna melts and the Avocado Heaven, a colorful portrait of avocado, lettuce, tomato, red pepper, and cheese. To create each of the deli's eight wraps, chefs roll meats such as grilled chicken, turkey, and salami with veggies, condiments, and cheese, and diners can wash down meals with iced coffee, lattes, and espresso.2301 Yorktown StHouston, TX US
Chocolate PizazzRead MoreChocolate Pizazz placates palates with a cornucopia of creative, gourmet chocolate treats. Like a kid locked up in a candy store, customers can giddily bag a dipped MoonPie ($4.75), a 5-ounce chocolate popcorn ($7.75), or marshmallow Pizazz ($4.75) while making a list of people not to share with. Add flavor to the year by nailing cookies to the calendar for each holiday, such as Easter, Dad's Tie Day, or Halloween ($16.95+). Dipped Twinkies keep teeth properly coated in sweetness ($4.75), and a twisting turn through a forest of colorful, crunchy pretzels or a thick thicket of popcorn eventually leads you to Grandma's house or to doubt your sense of direction.9061 Gaylord DriveHouston, TX US
Lankford Grocery and MarketRead MoreLankford Grocery & Market Lankford Grocery & Market was neither when it first opened. Nona and Aubkrey Lankford first set up a small fruit stand in 1938, which they later moved across the street and transformed into a small mom and pop grocery store. By the time the 70s had rolled around, they were making sandwiches as well, but it was the 90s that catapulted the shop into the spotlight when the Zagat-rated burgers first started showing up. Before long, the family gave up the grocery side of the business, putting all of their attention and focus into those burgers, which the Houston Press called, "huge, greasy burger masterpieces". Food and attitude coalesce in the firehouse burger, a thick patty smothered in habanero sauce, cayenne butter, and jalapenos. The Philadelphia cheeseburger doffs its hat to that eastern city with mozzarella, red and green bell peppers, and spicy mayo, while the grim burger is a creative combo of mac and cheese, bacon, and a fried egg. In the mornings, french toast, slices of bacon, and breakfast tacos leap off the griddle and onto the plates of hungry diners kick starting their days, while plates like waffles and biscuits and gravy are only available on Saturdays or any other day preceded by a Friday.88 Dennis StHouston, TX US

Wild pitch. 8-4 Rockies.
Chapman has not gotten 1 swing and miss. I don't think you can throw it fast enough. Chapman imploding.

"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
Unless you expect a miracle (and many here apparently do) we are only 6 up after today. And 1-3 over the last four. Time to get tough and win the next three.
"You only have to bat a thousand in two things; flying and heart transplants. Everything else you can go 4-for-5."

There is the nasty breaking ball. Tulowitzki strikes out swinging. 8-4 Rockies after 6.
Where was the second to last pitch at?
That hit was plenty fair. Atleast by a quarter of an inch.

This umpire must have a vendetta against pitchers.

Navy volunteers read to kids
"Is this the way that I should be?
A bear that only thinks of me?"
"The Berenstain Bears Learn to Share" was the book of the morning for Lt. Scott Angelo of Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 30 as he read to second graders at Dennis McKinna Elementary School in Oxnard for Read Across America Day, Monday, March 3.
Angelo and half a dozen others from Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) read to students at McKinna and Marina West Elementary, which called the base and asked for volunteers. This is the 17th year the National Education Association has declared a Read Across America Day. It is tied to the birthday of Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss.
Angelo volunteered last year. He said he enjoyed it and was eager to return. He doesn't have children, but no one would have guessed that the way he worked the classroom.
"Do you read aloud when you're in the airplane?" asked one youngster in Maricela Gomez's class.
"We sure do," he answered. "We have big manuals and we have to look things up. When we find the answer we read it aloud so everyone can hear it."
"How do you learn to fly an airplane?" another asked.
He told them that he started out just like them — in elementary school — then went on to middle school and high school and college.
"And after that, it took two more years to learn how to fly planes," he told the class. "So you have to stick with reading and math and do well. You've got to keep up with your work."
Anne Jenks, principal of McKinna School, has a son who works at the base. She said she appreciated the Navy volunteers.
"So many kids in this school have members of their family in the military," she said. "And many of the students say they want to go into the military themselves. It's nice for them to have role models."

UNICEF supporter Heidi Klum was honoured with the 2014 Childrens Champion Award at the 2014 UNICEF Children's Champion Award Dinner held at The Four Seasons Hotel on Thursday (October 30) in Boston, Massachusetts.
The TV host shelved the slinky dresses on this occasion, selecting a Roberto Cavalli satin-lapel black suit feminized with cut-out embellished detailing.
Keeping the look sexy with nothing but a bra under her blazer, she kept the look simple, opting for wavy tresses and nude lips to round out this rather chic look.

Browns coach Pat Shurmur sounds like a broken record when he talks about his team's broken record. Once again, Cleveland came up short on Sunday in a 23-20 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys, who overcame a 13-point deficit by exploiting the Browns' injury-riddled secondary and taking advantage of 12 penalties, It's a familiar story for the Browns (2-8), who have lost five games by seven points or less this season and lead the NFL with 18 such defeats since 2010. Shurmur preaches the importance of ''finishing'' to his players on a daily basis and believes his team is getting closer to winning tight games. He doesn't think his young team has gotten discouraged by the losing. Rookie linebacker James-Michael Johnson says the losses are frustrating but is confident ''we are going to win one day.'' --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

LST tour adds to river traffic
Club event shows importance of waterway
EVANSVILLE - If more than 10,000 semitrailer trucks passed through Downtown Evansville in a day, chances are you'd notice.
But you might not realize that the equivalent amount of freight passes by the town on the Ohio River.
"It's an enormous industry," said Ron Riecken, a board member of the Evansville chapter of the Propeller Club, a group that supports the maritime industry.
Each day, Riecken said, 15 barges pass through Evansville, each of them capable of carrying up to 900 semitrailers' worth of freight.
On Saturday, the Propeller Club teamed up with the LST 325 to help raise the maritime industry's profile.
In celebration of Maritime Day, the LST waived its admission price for the day, and volunteers escorted groups of visitors on tours of the World War II-era ship. A youth band from Morganfield, Ky., performed on the deck, and a brief ceremony highlighted the contributions that U.S. mariners have made through the years.
"The economy of this country is all based on maritime activities," said Jack Cunningham, regional vice president of the Propeller Club of the U.S. "We hope things like this will bring it to people's attention."
This was the third year that LST 325 volunteers and Propeller Club members hosted Maritime Day activities.
As of lunchtime Saturday, 285 people had toured the LST, said the ship's captain, Bob Jornlin. Last year's event drew 700 visitors.
Saturday's visitors included Marty and Pat Hasenour of Fort Branch, Ind., who were touring the ship for the first time.
Pat Hasenour said the detail that struck her the most was the narrow bunks where crew members slept.
"They don't have much room to turn over," she said.
LST at war
The LST is a vessel designed to deliver troops, tanks and supplies onto enemy shores. LST 325 was commissioned in 1943, and it participated in the D-Day invasion of Normandy, making 44 round trips across the English Channel to deliver troops and supplies. From 1964-1997 it was used by the Greek navy, and in 2005 a crew brought it into Evansville. Evansville was among the cities where LSTs were produced during World War II.
LSTs aren't as flashy or as well-known as other military ships, Jornlin said, but they served a crucial combat role in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
Hosting tours is one way that LST 325 volunteers can keep military history alive, Jornlin said.
"We try to bring back how important these ships were for successful invasions."

Sonic the Hedgehog
this wiki
Sonic.exe looks exactly like the original Sonic the Hedgehog. The only two known differences are his teeth and eyes (most notably his eyes); his teeth are yellowish and extremely sharp with fangs, and his eyes are pitch black with red, glowing pupils. His eyes also bleed most of the time. In the "I AM GOD." screen, a very gruesome "hyper-realistic" closeup of Sonic.exe's face, there's blood and bits of flesh around his mouth, although strangely, no blood was dripping was from his eyes at all in the image.
The earliest known history of Sonic.exe is when the protagonist (Tom) gets a CD game for the computer from his friend Kyle. Kyle leaves a note telling him to destroy the CD, because someone (Sonic.exe) is chasing him, and he'll come after Tom too if he doesn't destroy the CD. Tom, being curious about the CD, decided to play it instead. He started off as Tails, only to be forced into a game of "Tag" with Sonic.exe, the villain protagonist of the game. Sonic.exe was able to chase down Tails in mere seconds and kill him. Tom then picked Knuckles, where he went through Scrap Brain Zone with a strange background. After a while, Knuckles encountered Sonic.exe, and tried to attack, only to be killed. Tom then played as Robotnik, although after making it through most of the level, a very disturbing image appears, showing a realistic closeup of Sonic.exe's bloody face staring right at Tom for approximately 30 seconds with the caption "I AM GOD." at the top. Then static appears, and Robotnik is killed by Sonic.exe off-screen. After that, the game ends, and Sonic.exe appears to Tom in real life, in plush form. What happened after is unknown, but Tom most likely ended up with Tails, Knuckles, Robotnik, and possibly Kyle.
Flying: When Sonic.exe started to chase Tails, he started flying in a position similar to Metal Sonic in Sonic the Hedgehog CD.
Teleportation: Sonic.exe, as revealed in his fight with Knuckles, can teleport to avoid attacks.
Instant Killing: In a span of at most 15 seconds, Sonic.exe can kill someone instantly. After the victim is killed, their appearance is drastically changed, normally giving them a darker, lifeless skin tone, bloodying them, and making them look sad and morbid in general.
- He does not have a super form.
- His laugh is the Kefka laugh from Final Fantasy III on the Super NES.
- Also, the laugh heard during the "I AM GOD." screen is the same as the Kefka laugh, except it has been heavily distorted to sound more demonic (keeping in touch with the Creepypasta).

- Filed Under
After Tuesday's thrilling, 68-64 victory over Nandua, Northampton's basketball team inched closer to the top spot in the Eastern Shore district.
The Yellow Jackets (6-3) need one more win to tie for No. 1 with the Warriors (7-3).
"I'm very happy for the guys," said Northampton head coach Wayne Bell after the win. "They've had some adversity this season with some players not being able to play but the team stuck together. It just shows that if they work hard and stay together good things can happen." ...

4 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Coordinator In Training Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took a week – interviewed at Aflac (Milwaukee, WI) in May 2013.
Very easy interview. Aflac will hire almost anyone for a sales position but only the best candidates for the job will make it past the first year. You are required to get licensed in Accident and Health. They will follow-up with you while you are studying for the test. There are about 2-3 months of daily trainings in the morning to get new agents up to speed.

Coordinator In Training InterviewDeclined OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
The process took 2 days – interviewed at Aflac (Baltimore, MD) in September 2011.
I first got a call late in the afternoon about coming in for an interview the very next day. Decided to attend and arrived and was shown to an upstairs conference room where a few others and I gathered for a presentation from one of the district managers. Very smooth talking presentation about why everyone in the room should go sales even though myself and another were there for management positions. After a breakdown on how Aflac did things and some sweet talk about why commissioned pay was so much better than a salary, I decided to go ahead and see what the personal interview was like. Came back the next day for their manager trainee position and was basically given more sweet talk about how the position worked and why I was such a great fit for it. I was never really asked any questions about why I wanted the position other than a simple why do you think you could succeed in this job. I was offered a position under the district manager halfway through the interview but said I wanted to think about it for a bit.
Interview Questions
- Why do you think you could succeed in this job? 1 Answer
Reasons for Declining
I declined because after spending time thinking about the interview, I realized that the guy really only wanted me for his 5% overhead bonus that all Aflac people get when they hire someone on. Also, I didn't want to take the risk of having to wait a few months for a paycheck when I would be spending a lot of time driving around helping the manager get more money for my work.
While I was waiting for my interview, one of the sales reps in the office made a cold call to a business but was met with an employee benefits person who wanted nothing to do with them. I also have been told by other people I know who have interacted with Aflac that they are constantly bombarding people with calls about either becoming a part of the machine or switching the company insurance over, not a good reputation I feel.
Coordinator-In-Training InterviewAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Aflac (Memphis, TN) in August 2011.
You contact an Aflac Representative, They notify the Regional Sales Coordinator. The Regional Sales Coordinator contacts you and schedules interview. Based on the outcome of the first Interview you are elected for a second interview. At that time you get information on studying for your insurance license and set up for the classes, if you do not already hold a health/life insurance license. Once hired you are assigned to a District Sales Coordinator's team where you are directly trained.
Interview Questions
- What will you do to guarantee success as an owner of your own business? 1 Answer
You sign a contract with Aflac, pay the 'franchise fee'. Attend licensing classes (you also pay for). Take insurance license test, which you also pay for.

The process took 1 day – interviewed at Aflac (Aston, PA) in April 2011.
Keep in mind, I've been in the Financial Services Industry for 10 years. Was contacted by phone from Ciro Abril (DSC) -Direct Sales Coordinator in Aston, PA about a 'Management' Position with Aflac. We spoke over the phone twice, both times I asked if there was a Base Salary...both times I was told yes. When interviewed, it was explained that there is a BASE of clients, not a salary. Really, is that what BASE means??? I'd expect this kind of 'misunderstanding' from a used car salesman, not someone who has been in the business for any length of time.
Reasons for Declining
1) Obvously there is no salary, I was told there is a BASE of clients in the interview.
2) Lack of trust.
3) They will interview and hire anyone that breathes so they can earn the override.

Bucket O' Blood Books and Records Needs Help!
Bucket O' Blood Books and Records is a fantastic sci fi/fantasy/horror store just off the corner of N Milwaukee and N California, owned and operated by genuine genre fans Grant & Jennifer McKee. Currently they are in danger of losing their storefront and are asking the horror community for help – from their IndieGoGo page:
Bucket O' Blood Books & Records has been offering a wide selection of the best new and used vinyl as well as Chicago's best selection of genre fiction for 5 years, but we will soon be without a storefront. Moving is a daunting (and expensive) task, and we're asking for your support to help us. Our lease is up at the end of July and we have nowhere to go. We're seeking a larger storefront that will not only house our ever-growing collection of books and records, but also give our customers a better shopping experience and allow us to host a wider variety of store events. We cannot do this without your help!
Chicagoland horror fans, we can't let this store wither away. Whatever you can do to help, do it, right now. If you have a couple of bucks you can donate, every penny counts. If you're flat broke, share the IndieGoGo page so that somebody else might be able to help. We need to keep Bucket O' Blood in Chicago!
Special thanks to Kreepylady Kristin / The Chicago Creepout for the heads up!

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -
Complete Jan. 18 Rankings in PDF Format
The NCAA released Thursday the first of three coaches' panel rankings for the 2010-11 wrestling season. The final rankings will be one of the tools used as part of the selection process to determine the qualifiers for the 2011 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. Nine of head coach Cael Sanderson's Penn State Nittany Lions are listed in the first official individual rankings.
Wrestlers in each weight class will be measured by winning percentage, rating percentage index (RPI) and coaches' rankings to earn spots for the 2011 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. The coaches' rankings are compiled by a vote of coaches across the nation. Each qualifying tournament has five coaches rank the top 33 wrestlers in two weight classes. For ranking purposes, coaches must select a wrestler as a starter at a designated weight class. In addition, coaches may only select one wrestler per weight class.
The top-ranked wrestlers at each weight class in the inaugural rankings are: Brandon Precin, Northwestern University (125 pounds); Jordan Oliver, Oklahoma State University (133 pounds); Kellen Russell, University of Michigan (141 pounds); Kyle Dake, Cornell University (149 pounds); Steve Fittery, American University (157 pounds); Jordan Burroughs, University of Nebraska, Lincoln (165 pounds); Jonathan Reader, Iowa State University (174 pounds); Kirk Smith, Boise State University (184 pounds); Cam Simaz, Cornell (197 pounds) and Zachery Rey, Lehigh University (Heavyweight). The full rankings of each weight class are available at www.ncaa.com.

Sophomore All-American Andrew Long (Creston, Iowa) is ranked No. 8 at 133. Long is undefeated as a Nittany Lion with a 4-0 mark after transferring to Penn State after the first semester. True freshman Andrew Alton (Mill Hall, Pa.) is ranked No. 5 at 141. Alton is 22-2 on the year with 15 pins. Two-time All-American Frank Molinaro (Barnegat, N.J.) is ranked No. 6 at 149. Molinaro is 17-2 on the year with three pins, three techs and seven majors. Red-shirt freshman David Taylor (St. Paris, Ohio) is ranked No. 2 at 157. Taylor sports an undefeated 23-0 mark with six pins, nine techs and seven majors. Classmate Jake Kemerer (Greensburg, Pa.) is ranked No. 33 at 165. Kemerer is 12-6 on the year. Red-shirt freshman Ed Ruth (Harrisburg, Pa.) is ranked No. 2 at 174. Ruth is 21-1 overall with eight pins, five techs and two majors. All-American Quentin Wright (Wingate, Pa.) is ranked No. 8 at 184. The sophomore is 8-2 to date and is set to return to the line-up after an early December injury sidelined him. Junior Cameron Wade (Twinsburg, Ohio) is ranked No. 7 at heavyweight. Wade is 19-3 on the year with eight pins, three techs and two majors. In all, seven of Penn State's nine ranked individuals are ranked in the top eight at their respective weights.
The Nittany Lions, ranked No. 2 nationally, are 11-0 on the year, their best start (no losses or ties) since the team went 12-0 in 1971-72, heading into this weekend's dual meets. Penn State will host No. 22 Pittsburgh Friday night at 6 p.m. in a Big Ten Network national broadcast. Tickets are going fast but still available.

U.S. News Review
Located on the southeast corner of McGill University's campus in downtown Montreal, the Hotel Omni Mont-Royal earns a thumbs-up from visitors for its convenient location. Guests are also impressed with the hotel's recent renovations, saying that the 299 guest rooms and suites feel elegant and comfortable with warm neutral tones, spacious marble bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling windows. Accommodations are also prepped for the tech-savvy, boasting iHome docking stations, 42-inch LCD HD TVs, Nespresso coffee machines and high-speed wireless Internet access (for a fee). Should you still have some lingering energy after touring Montreal, expel any extra steam at the on-site fitness center or in the hotel's seasonal outdoor pool. Afterwards, imbibe in a refreshing cocktail at Alice Bar, located in the hotel lobby. As far as dining goes, travelers highly recommend avoiding the breakfast buffet, saying that the food is sub-par; however, Le Petit Opus Café earns praise for its varied dinner menu. Because Mont-Royal is part of the Omni family, the property participates in the Select Guest loyalty program.

Most TransAsia Survivors Seated on Left Side
July 28 (Bloomberg) -- Most survivors of TransAsia Airways Corp. Flight GE222 that crashed last week were assigned seats on the left side and in the center to rear of the plane, according to documents provided by the company.
Seven of the 10 who lived through the July 23 crash had seats on the left side of the single-aisle, 72-seat ATR72-500 aircraft, based on a seating chart and survivor list from TransAsia. The front rows were mostly empty, according to the documents.
Alison Kao, a spokeswoman for the Taipei-based carrier, didn't answer calls seeking comment on the seating arrangements.
Forty-eight people died last week after the twin-engine turboprop crashed into houses near Magong airport on Taiwan's Penghu Islands amid rain and wind. The pilot of the 13-year-old aircraft, among eight of its type operated by TransAsia, had 22 years of experience, while the co-pilot had around 2.5 years, according to the company.
Four of the survivors walked away from the crash and knocked on a nearby resident's door asking for help, witnesses said last week. Three of those were women who appeared to be in their 30s and the fourth was a man believed to be in his 60s, the witnesses said.

Hazrat Ali (Afghan politician)
Kabul, Afghanistan
|Warlord, Politician
|Home town
|Kashmond, Alingar district, Laghman Province.
|6 ft (183 cm)
|90 kg (198 lb)
Political party
|Northern Alliance
Hajji Ali is a Politician in Afghanistan.[1] He previously served as a military commander for the Northern Alliance in eastern Afghanistan.[2]
Ali was born in 1964 in Kabul to an ethnic Pashai[citation needed] family. He rose to prominence during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. As a commander for Hezb-e Islami Khalis he quickly became an important leader for the Pashai community. Hazrat Ali has also been described as an Afghan Army commander under the Soviet puppet regime.[3] He fled Afghanistan to live in Mashad, Iran, where he is believed to have married an Iranian woman.[4]
During the war against the Taliban, Ali is said to have been aligned with Ahmad Shah Massoud. Following the fall of the Taliban Ali joined with two other leaders in the Jalalabad-Tora Bora region, Abdul Qadir and Mohammed Zaman to set up the Eastern Shura, a local provisional government.[2] They were early backers of the first post-Taliban President Hamid Karzai.
The Asia Times reports that, after the fall of the Taliban, Ali's troops executed hundreds of captured Arab prisoners with the complicity of U.S. special forces.[5]
During late 2001 and early 2002 it was US policy to employ very few US ground troops, and to rely on air power and local allies, like Hazrat Ali to defeat al Qaeda.[6][7][8][9] The Asia Times reports that Ali was one of the warlords who allowed Bin Laden to escape from Tora Bora.[10]
- "By the time the merciless American B-52 bombing raids were about to begin, bin Laden had already left Tora Bora - as a number of Afghan mujahideen confirmed to Asia Times Online at the time. They said they had seen him on the other side of the frontline in late November. Hazrat Ali, the warlord and then so-called minister of "law and order" in the Eastern Shura (traditional decision-making council) in Afghanistan, was outsourced by the Pentagon to go after bin Laden and al-Qaeda in Tora Bora. He bagged a handful of suitcases full of cash. He put on a show for the cameras. And significantly, he was barely in touch with the few Special Forces on the ground."
The Pak Tribune described Ali as a "gangster" during the 2004 Afghan Presidential election.[11]
Hamid Karzai appointed Hazrat Ali as the Jalalabad police chief 2003 and was sacked on 2004 due to connection with Taliban and some other militant groups. He got a seat in the Wolesi Jirga of the National Assembly of Afghanistan in the 2005 Afghan parliamentary election, representing Nangarhar Province.[3][11] In May 2012, it was reported that Iran was providing millions of dollars to Ali for the purpose of blocking the National Assembly's approval of the Afghan-US strategic cooperation agreement.[1] However, the next day the agreement was approved by the majority and the following day Ali denied the allegations.[4]
Guantanamo detainees who served under Hazrat Ali[edit]
Guantanamo detainee Anwar Khan told his Administrative Review Board that he had fought against the Taliban, under the over-all command of Hazrat Ali.[12] He claimed he had been arrested, and sent to Guantanamo when he was stopped at an American checkpoint and the soldiers were confused as to why he was carrying multiple ID cards.
Guantanamo detainee Awal Gul had worked, reluctantly, for the Taliban, in administrative positions.[13] He told his Tribunal of making multiple attempts to resign from the positions the Taliban had appointed him to. When the Taliban started to fall he took his chance and enlisted in Hazrat Ali's forces. However, a few months later, Ali forced him to surrender himself to American forces.

U.S. air power is taking a toll. Ali said an intermediary reported that Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's top lieutenant and the brains behind al-Qaeda, had been injured Monday during U.S. bombardment of Tora Bora about 35 miles southwest of Jalalabad. Unconfirmed reports had 10 or more al-Qaeda leaders killed in the bombardment.

This morning Hazrat Ali's men appeared determined to make good on their commander's boast to clear al Qaeda out and capture Bin Laden, within two weeks. His elite bodyguards, distinguished by having full uniforms and each draped in enough fire power for a platoon, lead SAS soldiers into the hills in a small convoy laden with tank shells and other ammunition.

SYRACUSE In the state fairgrounds that are just starting to bustle with life for next week's opening, in an empty theater, in front of an empty stage, two men in casual working clothes tuned an organ — for about eight hours.
Dale Abrams and Harvyn Tarkmeel, both from Skaneateles, spent their entire day on Friday, Aug. 17, in the Empire Theater preparing "Wilma," the 87-year-old electro-pneumatic organ, for her upcoming performances at the New York State Fair. This meant checking every single one of Wilma's nearly 700 pipes and extensions to ensure they were all properly tuned.
"I call it the fairgrounds' best-kept secret," said Tarkmeel, who not only helps tune the organ, but also will spend 18 hours playing Wilma during the 12-day fair.
"A day or two before the fair starts every year we go through and see what notes are dead. Luckily, they all don't go out. Maybe one-quarter of one row will drift a little." Abrams said. "Some of these pipes though I pull my hair out because they won't stay put."
"Wilma" is the affectionate name given by Tarkmeel to the Wurlitzer Opus No. 1143 — a three manual, 11 rank Unit Orchestra, style 235, originally installed in the B.F. Keiths Theatre in downtown Syracuse in 1925. It was restored and reinstalled in the state fairgrounds in 1967.
"This plays just as well as any church organ, but a church organ can't duplicate this," Tarkmeel said.
In fact, the Wurlitzer was made as a movie theater organ to accompany silent movies back before sound was installed in film (by Arthur Case of Auburn). That's why it is called a "unit orchestra," because it not only plays organ notes, but can also sound like other musical instruments as well as offer numerous sound effects. "It was designed to replace an orchestra, so it was a lot cheaper," Tarkmeel said.
