Winner & STILL NWA World Heavyweight Champion: Christian Cage
After the match, Christian Cage climbs up the cage and rasies the NWA World Heavyweight Title high in the air celebrating with the fans in the Impact Zone in Orlando. Christian exits the cage as James Mitchell attends to a bloody Abyss. Cage looks to leave until he comes back down and gets back in the ring. Cage goes after James Mitchell when Abyss comes from behind and low blows him. Abyss grabs his chain, wraps it around his fist and nails Christian with a stiff right hand. Abyss taunts at Christian who is now busted open. Abyss throws Christian out of the ring. Abyss then positions the chain against the side of the cage, grabs Christian, wraps the chain around his neck and starts choking him with it. James Mitchell then hands Abyss the NWA World Title, saying this was his prize for his destruction on Christian Cage tonight. Abyss and James Mitchell leave with the NWA World Title as Christian Cage holds his neck in pain with the chain still wrapped around it.
- Backstage, Jeremy Borash is with Sting's Army consisting of AJ Styles, Rhino and Ron "The Truth" Killings. The Truth says what's up tonight is all out war. AJ Styles says Sting chose this team for a reason. Rhino says tonight, someone won't leave that cage without getting a Gore. Sting walks up, lets out a "WOOOOOOOO" and says that it is Showtime folks.
- A video package rolls highlighting the events that lead into the Lethal Lockdown Match tonight with a ceiling over the top of the cage and weapons hanging from it when Sting's Army takes on Jeff Jarrett's Army.
Lethal Lockdown Sting's Warriors (Sting, AJ Styles, Rhino & Ron "The Truth" Killings) vs. Jeff Jarrett's Army (Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner & NWA World Tag Team Champions America's Most Wanted) Kicking off the match is Chris Harris for Jeff Jarrett's Army and AJ Styles for Sting's Warriors. Additional competitors will enter the ring in five minute intervals until all eight men are in the ring. At that point the ceiling will be lowered and Lethal Lockdown will officially begin. Harris goes after Styles sending him into the cage, but with Styles preventing too much of a hit. Harris applies a headlock, Styles sends Harris into the ropes, Styles attempts a dropkick, but misses when Harris stays back. Harris mocks Styles and then Styles catches Harris with the dropkick. Harris goes to work on the back of Styles, throwing him back first into the side of the cage. When Harris puts Styles on his shoulder, Styles jumps off and takes out Harris with a jumping knee to the back of the head. Styles nails Harris off the corner. Both are up near the corner. Harris falls down between the cage and ropes. Styles splashes Harris against the cage two times. Styles pulls Harris out and throws him against the cage one more time. Styles hits yet another splash on Harris in the corner. When Styles attempts another, Harris catches Styles and connects with the Catatonic. Harris picks up Styles and attempts a second Catatonic, but Styles counters and hits Harris with the Styles Clash. Time has expired and out now is James Storm.
When Storm gets near the cage door, Styles swings it open to hit Storm. Storm ducks and the door hits Gail Kim instead! Storm then swings the door back into the face of Styles. Storm gets into the ring and hits the Eye of the Storm on Styles. The timer is now counting down from two minutes. Styles tries fighting back on Storm, but Storm lifts Styles up and Harris takes him down with a huge jumping clothesline. Time expires and out next is Rhino. Rhino goes after Harris and Storm. Rhino sends Storm face first into the cage and does the same to Harris. Rhino gives Harris a spinebuster and gets ready for a Gore. Rhino charges at Storm, but Storm grabs Rhino and sends him into the corner. Harris then takes out Styles with a big lariat. Storm then takes Harris and launches him into Rhino with force. We now see that Storm has been busted open as well. All four men start to brawl as time expires. Out next is Jeff Jarrett. Rhino leaves the ring and goes after Jarrett right away. Styles joins Rhino and the take out Jarrett against the announcers table. Rhin tosses Jarrett inside and Styles joins in. Jarrett and America's Most Wanted both take out Rhino and Styles, throwing them into the side of the cage. Jarrett grabs Styles and suplexes him against the cage. Jarrett then goes to work on Rhino and AMW work on Styles as time expires. Out next is Ron "The Truth" Killings.

These regulations are not helping real Americans find jobs and they certainly prevent many real Americans from getting rich. Lets back off those who are industrious enough to find information and invest in American companies. If they can find a way to profit they have the right to whatever rewards they receive. Criminalizing people that have worked hard is not the American way.
Unfortunately for Aguilar, he is up against that lapdog of NASD/FINRA, Mary Schapiro. She likes to look like she's doing something, for the cameras, then lets most of them off with a wristslap. Perhaps we should replace her with Judge Rakoff. Then, Mary could go back to her long-promised 7 figure job as a "Compliance Officer" with a big investment bank.
Well sir you voted last year to allow Ex-Tyco employees Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz to keep $110 million to $340 million in illegal trading profits when you settled the case against them for nothing in July of last year. Do as I say not as I do propraganda from the SEC. Care to comment?
This is all just smoke and mirrors. The Commissioner talks tough, then after the mics and cameras are off, it's wink wink, nudge nudge with the corporate insiders. As na@6:34 says, it's all talk. Let's see some action, instead of flushing the room with hot air.
More of the demonize the successful. Bye Bye JOBS!!!
This is very humorous. First the SEC will need catch a miscreant. They couldn't catch Madoff. They couldn't catch Stanford. First they should catch somebody, then they should tough. Useless morons.

WASHINGTON, Jun 03 (IPS) - After half a century, Colombia may put an end to its conflict—if the U.S. will allow it.
Unmarked graves of victims of Colombia's half-century civil war, like this one in La Macarena in central Colombia, are scattered across the country. Credit: Constanza Vieira/IPS
Colombia has been the host of some of the most extreme and brutal violence in Latin America's history. The country's half-century long conflict has taken the lives of almost a quarter million women, men, and children, and displaced nearly six million more.
The United States has financed much of the conflict in recent years, investing nine billion dollars since 2000 - much of it to bolster Colombia's security forces.
Yet peace may be near. On May 16, the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the country's largest guerrilla group, signed a preliminary accord on the third of five negotiating points in their ongoing peace talks in Havana, Cuba: illicit drugs.
The agreement offers a viable plan for the FARC to end its involvement in the Colombian drug trade, alternatives for small-scale cultivators of crops destined for illicit drug markets, and meaningful policy reforms at the national level for addressing issues of drug consumption and public health.
Hope too lies with an announcement that came earlier the same day. Following national and international pressure - including an inter-parliamentary letter signed by 245 representatives from the United States, United Kingdom, and Ireland - the FARC announced a unilateral ceasefire.
While the government maintains that it will not end military operations until an agreement is signed, and though the FARC's temporary ceasefire ended on May 28, this act is encouraging because it significantly decreased violence and will likely increase confidence at the negotiating table.
According to the International Committee of the Red Cross, hundreds of thousands of Colombians continue to be affected by the conflict every year. Ensuring that all parties respect international humanitarian law is essential and will likely help to advance the peace talks.
Domestic political shake-ups, though, threaten to disrupt this progress. In the first round of Colombia's presidential elections on May 25, sitting President Juan Manuel Santos, who began the talks to the dismay of many former political allies, came in second to conservative hardliner Oscar Ivan Zuluaga.
Zuluaga, who is allied with former president (and current senator-elect) Alvaro Uribe, has made clear his scepticism towards the talks.
While he has now softened his stance in advance of the runoff election, his long-time opposition to the process remains concerning. Santos and Zuluaga will face off in a second-round vote on Jun. 15.
A step closer toward meaningful drug policy reform
The accord on the drug issue - declared a "partial agreement," as no individual agreements are final until all points on the agenda have been agreed upon - is little short of historic.
The language, which was agreed upon by both parties, reflects a significant shift away from the prohibitionist approach to drug policy.
Adopting some of the proposals of the growing community calling for drug policy reform, the accord acknowledges that "evidence-based alternatives" to current policies are needed to address problems that may be associated with drug consumption, and distinguishes between the cultivation of crops for the illicit market and drug trafficking.
Furthermore, it calls for the expansion of crop substitution programmes, recognising that many rural communities rely on coca and opium poppy cultivation for their economic livelihoods.
However, it stipulates that "supportive measures…will be conditioned to…agreements on substitution and no-replanting," implying that cultivators would be required to cede their earnings from crop cultivation before they see the benefits of alternative crops.
Experience in Latin America has shown that conditioning assistance on total eradication harms the chance of developing lasting alternatives, as cultivators lack a successful bridge between when the cultivation of crops for the illicit market ends and alternative livelihoods become sustainable.
Not surprisingly in these circumstances, many growers return to the cultivation of coca and poppy crops. A more effective model would be to offer a phasing out period and/or subsidies to cultivators until meaningful alternative livelihoods are actually in place.
Yet while proper sequencing on reducing crops for the illicit market will need to be reviewed, the parties get it right on local involvement. Opting for what one Colombian analyst described as "building the state from below," the development programme would rely heavily on, and actively engage with, local communities to ensure their participation - and hence the programme's sustainability.
The most monumental point came with the government's concession to de-prioritise -though not entirely retire - the destructive and ineffective aerial herbicide spraying of coca crops, opting first for alternative development and manual eradication before spraying crops.
In more than a decade of its use in Colombia, aerial spraying has served only to disperse coca crops, destroy poor farmers' livelihoods, and engender local distrust for government authorities, as the only contact many communities have had with the state has been the occasional visit of a plane spraying crops.
The agreement also addresses drug consumption, an issue generally thought to be outside the purview of the peace talks. While details here are scant, linking this issue to the peace talks will help continue regional debates on drug policy reform. Recognising that drug policy should be based on respect for human rights and public health is a valuable contribution.
But a full agreement, if eventually signed, will not be a panacea. Taking the FARC out of the cultivation and trafficking business will not independently solve the drug issue or the associated violence.
As long as there is worldwide - and particularly U.S. – demand for drugs, criminal organisations will find a way to supply them. Furthermore, an accord will likely leave a power vacuum in rural regions of the country as the FARC demobilises and cedes those territories.
There is a good chance that right-wing paramilitary successor groups and criminal gangs will try to fill it. Establishing a positive state presence and providing basic services will be a major challenge, especially in regions where the armed forces have been the primary face of the state.
Supporting peace from Washington
Because of these continued challenges, the United States has an important role to play in the implementation phase, both in supporting Colombia financially and in granting the Colombian government political space to implement the accords - even when they contradict U.S. policy priorities.
A State Department communiqué on the drug policy agreement, which highlights the continuation of forced eradication, raises questions about whether the United States will help or hinder the advancement of the peace process. Nearly two of every three aid dollars destined for Colombia goes to the public security forces. Will the U.S. government be willing to shift aid to build peace rather than continue war?
Achieving durable reductions in poppy and coca crop cultivation for illicit drug production will require implementing alternative livelihoods and connecting long-forgotten rural areas with the national infrastructure.
After decades of waging a largely ineffective "war on drugs" in Colombia, will the United States allow its long-time ally to break with the prohibition-focused model and explore alternatives to the current militarised approach? Some of the most revolutionary agreements in the accord, such as all but ending aerial spraying, would challenge the existing U.S. approach.
These questions, and the many more that will be raised as the talks progress, will likely dismay hardliners in the U.S. government who are not ready to shift drug control tactics.
But with little progress to show after decades of violence and billions of dollars spent, the Colombian and FARC negotiators have made an important step toward ending decades of violence. The United States should stand ready to support Colombia, both financially and politically, in the coming months and years - and it should know when to stand down.

ZOTAC NM10-DTX WiFi (NM10-Express) Motherboard w/ Atom D510 CPU - Power Usage and Heat TestsIntel's Atom is well-known, but how does it really perform when put to the test? We find out on ZOTAC's Atom D510 equipped board.
Power Consumption
We are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into an AC wall socket).
As you can imagine, the NM10-DTX simply sips power compared to most other boards. We saw idle power draw as low as 35 Watts! Even when we overclocked it we only saw a jump up to 38 Watts.
Wow, talk about low power! Even under load we barely hit over 40Watts of power from the wall.
Heat Generation
As a new measure, we are now monitoring the heat generation from the key components on the motherboard; this being the Northbridge, Southbridge (if it contains one) as well as the Mosfets around the CPU. The results are recorded at idle and load during the power consumption tests.
Heat generation is also not going to be an issue with the NM10-DTX. As long as you have halfway decent airflow, this board will remain cool even under load.

A first look at hip Peruvian in a slick SoBe Spot
Cevichery Restobar
440 Espanola Way, Miami Beach
The goods: Cevichery Restobar peddles modern Peruvian cuisine in a small but inviting space on Espanola Way.
Ambience: The interior is a mix of old and new – lime-green arched windows overlooking the café-lined street, and rustic brick walls form a backdrop for mod white tables and clear plexiglass chairs.
The grub: As the name indicates, seafood cured in tart lime juice is a specialty of the house – and available six ways, from mild to fiery pepper-spiked mixtures. Young chef Diego Pilares studied at the Le Cordon Bleu in Lima and brings a contemporary approach to the colorful Latin dishes. Prices are moderate: ceviches average $13, mains top out at $18 and sides are $5.
Start off with classic Al Aji Limo ceviche — swai fish with lime, red onions and aji limo chile, or a more adventurous version spiked with hot rocoto pepper. All ceviches are topped with oversized Peruvian "choclo" corn, a starchy relief from the heat.
Other menu options include Tiradito Al Aji de Naranja, a platter of thinly sliced fish bathed in orange juic; Conchas a la Parmesana, broiled scallops served on the shell topped with crisped Parmesan cheese (pictured); and Lomo Saltado con Quinoto, a stir-fry of filet mignon with onions, tomatoes and soy sauce.
Sides include classic tacu tacu rice and bean croquettes and Fideos a la Huancaina, bowtie pasta with a spicy aji amarillo sauce.
The cocktail list features traditional drinks like the Pisco Sour, made here with fresh kiwi juice in addition to lime. And for dessert – a light cheesecake flavored with lucuma, a Peruvian fruit.
The verdict: A hip Peruvian menu in a homey but slick South Beach spot.

Even though Aaron Hernandez only has two preseason games on his professional resume, it's clear the Patriots have never had a pass-catcher this unique.
Thus far, the Florida product has displayed a preternatural ability in New England's passing game. The rookie tight end, who had four catches for a team-high 46 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 28-10 preseason victory over the Falcons in Atlanta (click here for the complete recap), continues to flash an amazingly versatile skill set. On Thursday against the Falcons, he was lined up in no fewer than four different spots — fullback, split wide, in the slot and flush against the tackles — on the field, and ended up playing 42 snaps.
The highlight of the evening for the 6-foot-2, 245-pound tight end (who will cause all sorts of matchup problems this year for opposing defenses with his size, speed, soft hands and versatility) came when he caught his first touchdown pass as a Patriot late in the second quarter. On a third-down situation in the Atlanta red zone (New England was on the Falcons' 4), Brady found him in the back of the end zone with a laser. Atlanta linebacker Sean Witherspoon looked foolish trying to keep up with Hernandez, who not only turned him inside out but had the presence of mind to tip-toe along the back of the end zone and hold on to the football. The touchdown gave the Patriots a 14-3 lead, and was the final ball Tom Brady would throw all evening.
For a team that, A) struggled to find the tight end in the passing game all last year, and, B) struggled offensively in the red zone all last year, it was a sight for sore eyes for New England football fans.
It was also part of another impressive night for New England's tight ends. Rob Gronkowski added a touchdown of his own, a 24-yard catch from Brian Hoyer in the second half. (Early on, Gronkowski did appear to be the one who missed a block that almost got Fred Taylor smooshed, but other than that, he had a fine night, finishing with four catches for 38 yards.) And Alge Crumpler had a terrific block on Taylor's first-half touchdown run that helped the running back cut loose for a 28-yarder to the end zone.
"Alge's clearly the most experienced," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "Rob and Aaron both have shown flashes of good things. They've got a ways to go, but I think they're working hard and making progress."
Here are nine other things we learned Thursday night:
It is hard not to be amazed at what Wes Welker has accomplished
Almost eight months after tearing up his left knee in Houston, Welker didn't get the start in his first game back (the Patriots opened in a three tight-end set for the second straight preseason game), but was heavily involved in the first drive of the night, a 12-play 80-yard sequence that ended with a New England touchdown. He was in for six snaps, and ended the night with two catches for 20 yards.
When it came to contact, he was able to absorb a nasty hit on a screen that was blown up Atlanta defensive back Christopher Owens. Owens neatly avoided a block from Randy Moss and really crunched Welker. But the receiver popped up after the hit, looking no worse for wear.
"The big thing was to get him in there, let him play a little bit. We talked about it this week and it was kind of the next step him for and he felt good about it so we put him in there," Belichick said of Welker. "Nobody works harder than Wes. He's as competitive and as hard working a player as we've had, and we've had a lot of them. But I'd put him right up there with all of them."
For Welker, the milestone of returning game action was significant, but he was quick to remind people that there is still work that needs to be done.
"I mean, it's a step forward," Welker told reporters after the game. "I don't know if we're all there yet or anything like that, but it's a step forward and we got some plays out there and got some contact, which I haven't had before. And it was good to have out there."
After two preseason games, Tom Brady is about where you would expect him to be
On the heels of a 17-snap performance in the preseason opener against the Saints in which he went 5-for-8 for 67 yards, Brady was able to build on that with another good outing against the Falcons. On Thursday, he was 10-for-12 for 85 yards a touchdown and a shining 124 quarterback rating. (His only two incompletions came on the Welker screen and a deep ball to Moss that might have been a missed pass interference call.) He took 24 snaps and helped engineer a pair of scoring drives, one that ended with a rushing touchdown and another and another that culminated in a 4-yard scoring strike to Hernandez in the second quarter.
Brady spread the ball around nicely, targeting seven different receivers over the first quarter-plus of action and hitting with Welker, Hernandez and Randy Moss for two receptions each. (Kevin Faulk, Julian Edelman, Sammy Morris and Gronkowski caught one ball each from Brady). But it was his early connections with No. 83 that set the tone. The quarterback allowed the returning receiver to get his feet wet (Welker's two catches were on his first two snaps of the game) while developing a nice rhythm for the rest of the offense.
There was one black mark on his evening — midway through the second quarter and with the Patriots in the middle of an 11-play, 63-yard drive that would end with the touchdown pass to Hernandez, Brady was introduced to Falcons third-year defensive lineman Kroy Biermann, who sacked him on third-and-4. Brady pump-faked after seeing Welker was covered over the middle, and before he could get another chance, both he and the ball were on the ground. While teammate Stephen Neal recovered the fumble (and the Patriots were able to eventually score), it was the only thing that marred an otherwise impressive night for the quarterback. As for next week against St. Louis, look for another 10-15 snaps from Brady in what will almost certainly be his final appearance before Week 1 of the regular season.
It was a very impressive night for the New England offense in general: Under Brady's control, the Pats were efficient and balanced — of New England's first 26 offensive plays, there were 13 runs and 13 passes. The offense had the ball for nine series and finished with four touchdowns. And even when the Patriots weren't scoring, they were taking time off the clock — four of the drives went nine plays or more. They were 11-for-17 for 65 percent on third-down conversions, and finished with 299 total net yards.
Dan Connolly is now officially The Man at left guard
Not that there was any question heading into Thursday night, but the Patriots offensive line now appears to be locked in, with Dan Connolly settling into Logan Mankins' left guard spot. (Anything is possible, of course — Mankins and the Patriots could reach an agreement. But let's just say no one is holding their breath.) Filling out the rest of the line is Matt Light (left tackle), Dan Koppen (center), Stephen Neal (right guard) and Sebastian Vollmer (right tackle).
As for Connolly, he had a solid night, running with the starting offense for the second straight preseason game at left guard (he even took a snap at fullback for good measure) and coming out of the game late in the first half with the rest of the starters. In the end, Connolly wasn't Mankins, but he more than held his own against Atlanta's No. 1 defense, with perhaps his finest moment coming when he led the way on a Kevin Faulk first-down carry in the first quarter. And he was part of an offensive line that imposed its will on the Falcons with a powerful running game, as the Patriots rolled up 120 rushing yards on the evening.
As a group, there were a few miscommunications along the offensive line, but in all, the linemen allowed the offense to do its job. And as for Connolly, there will be another test for him next week against the Rams. It remains to be seen how he could hold up over a 16-game season against some of the more physical AFC teams on New England's schedule (Steelers, Ravens and Jets), but so far, he's done well.
When it comes to the Patriots' use of running backs this preseason, a pattern is emerging
In the wake of the Week 1 victory over the Saints — when BenJarvus Green-Ellis got the call and played most of the evening — no one was quite sure what to make of the running back depth chart. But now, two weeks in, it appears a clear pattern is starting to emerge. New England is giving each running back a sizable chunk of playing time, using them as a de facto feature back for about a half or so in an attempt to get them as much run as possible.
On Thursday, it was Fred Taylor and Sammy Morris who got the bulk of the work. Taylor got the start and carried the ball 11 times for 54 yards in the first half. Morris was the man in the second half, rumbling for 52 yards on just six carries. (Morris finished with an eye-popping 8.7 yards per carry. It came mostly against Atlanta's No. 2 defense, but it was still a very impressive performance nonetheless.) In all, the running backs accounted for 4.8 yards per carry.
"I think all the backs ran pretty well tonight," Belichick told reporters after the game. "Fred, when he hit that draw, bounced through there. All the backs had long runs I think at one point or another, so that's good to see. … Fred's had a good camp. He's been out there every day, and he's worked hard. I think he's in good condition and it looks like he can still run the ball."
Both ended with touchdowns. Taylor's score was impressive on a number of levels — there was a crushing block delivered by Alge Crumpler, Taylor beat his man to the corner and almost walked into the end zone, a 28-yard run that put New England on top, 7-3 midway through the first quarter. Morris had a 20-yard touchdown run midway through the third when he went straight up the middle on a draw play and dashed untouched into the end zone. A really nice way to end the night for a pair of veteran backs.
On paper, this would seem to suggest that Laurence Maroney — who really hasn't gotten much of a chance thus far (eight carries through two games, all in Week 1 against the Saints) — is next in line for his chance next week against the Rams.
Brandon Spikes is starting to seize command of the inside linebacker spot opposite Jerod Mayo
After the first week of preseason, there was some question as to whether or not Spikes' workload at inside linebacker next to Jerod Mayo was the result of the coaches' desire to see more of Spikes in action or a commentary on what they thought of Tyrone McKenzie. But after another week where there was plenty of Spikes (our unscientific count had him at 27 snaps in the first half — as was the case against the Saints, he left the field on third-and-long situations), it's clear the Florida product is making his case to be the starter next to Mayo when Week 1 rolls around.
McKenzie did see time in the second half, and showed a knack for getting after the ball when Ron Brace forced a fumble and McKenzie scooped it up. But it's clear that the positional battle between Spikes, McKenzie and Guyton (who is still sidelined with a knee injury) for the inside linebacker spot opposite Mayo is turning into no contest, at least at this point of the preseason.
Against the Falcons, Spikes had three tackles and showed a good ability to read and react to the action in front of him. He and Mayo seemed to be dropping into coverage — the Patriots were giving Atlanta a large area of real estate about 10-12 yards from the line of scrimmage just over the middle. It'll be interesting to see how much of that was specific to this week's game plan and if that's a statement on their abilities to go back on the ball. Just something that bears watching.
Ron Brace and Derrick Burgess started well but are still going to need to play catch-up
The two defenders who weren't in the mix at this time last week were got their first taste of preseason action against the Falcons. Burgess started at his old outside linebacker/defensive end position, while Brace rotated into the game in the second half as part of the defensive line. Burgess had no tackles in limited action.
"I think Derrick's got a lot of experience, but I think it was good to get him back in the action. He had a good week, but he's got a long way to go," Belichick said. "He's got a lot of ground to make up. He made up some of it this week, hopefully he can make up some more next week. I know he's working hard at it and I'm not worried about that. It's just [that] there's no substitute for snaps and reps in practices and games. He'll get more of them, and I think he still needs them."
As for Brace, he had three tackles, with his finest moment coming late in the third quarter when he delivered a hit on Atlanta's Dimitri Nance that knocked the ball loose. Tyrone McKenzie scooped up the loose ball, the second turnover of the game for the Falcons. (Five plays later, the Patriots cashed in when Brian Hoyer found Gronkowski on a 24-yard touchdown pass to make it 28-3.)
As things stand, even with their relatively late starts, both Burgess and Brace will almost certainly get big opportunities to contribute this season. It remains to be seen what they do with the chances.
It's hard to get a read on just where the pass-rushing capabilities of this team are right now
In Burgess' first game back, there were times where he looked a bit overwhelmed, and New England had just one sack on the night. With Tully Banta-Cain not making the trip, the fact remains that the best pass rushers on this team still have to get some more game reps as a group before you can assess whether or not they are better than last year's collection. And that includes rookie Jermaine Cunningham, who missed his second consecutive preseason game on Thursday with an undisclosed injury.
On Thursday, the Patriots had three quarterback hurries and a sack, with backup outside linebacker Rob Ninkovich being the only Patriot to get to an Atlanta quarterback — he hit Falcons backup quarterback John Parker Wilson midway through the fourth quarter for a 6-yard loss. Some surprising names have come through here and there (Marques Murrell in Week 1 against the Saints, Myron Pryor had a nice pressure on Thursday against the Falcons). But until that unit is out there as a group consistently, there will still be questions about what sort of impact they will have in 2010.
The coverage units — the only really subpar part of New England's special teams in Week 1 against the Saints — improved over the week
The only bad thing about New England's special teams performance in the season-opener was a 97-yard kickoff return from New Orleans' Larry Beavers. Other than that, it was a very good evening across the board. On Thursday against the Falcons, whatever coverage problems the Patriots had were rectified, as New England did not allow a big play on special teams, limiting Atlanta's average starting field position to its own 21-yard line.
Unlike Week 1, when Devin McCourty had a pair of kick returns go for at least 50 yards and Julian Edelman had a 40-yard punt return, there were no big-time returns for the Patriots. However, punter Zoltan Mesko continues to impress, dropping two of his four punts on the night inside the 20-yard line (of his nine punts in two preseason games, five have landed inside the 20) and finishing with an average of 42.8 yards per punt. (Atlanta could only return one punt for minus-7 yards.) And against the Falcons, Stephen Gostkowski was 4-for-4 on extra points and delivered three touchbacks.
Other than Atlanta kicker Michael Koenen, whose three kickoffs all went into the end zone for touchbacks, New England's special teams performance stood in marked contrast to the Falcons, who made some bad mistakes at bad times with the game still in doubt. Early in the second quarter, Atlanta's Matt Bryant missed a 47-yard field goal attempt. And Gostkowski missed a 41-yard field goal attempt midway through the second, but Atlanta's Chevis Jackson was called for roughing the kicker. Given new life, the Patriots punched it in for a touchdown three plays later.
Look for more joint practices in the future
The series of joint practices the Patriots have held over the last two weeks have been immensely beneficial to the team for several reasons, not the least of which is that it's provided a break from the traditional dog days of camp. It's shaken things up, the team has had the chance to break from its normal routine and the coaching staff and front office has had a chance to pick the brains of other teams.
Of course, it helps that the Patriots won both games, but in the long run, the chance to just be on the field with another team at this time of year can be a tremendous teaching tool for the players and coaches.
"Just being on the field with the Saints last week was interesting, just watching their guys work, their coaches, their drills, their operation," Belichick said prior to the game. "It's something we haven't done in a while and it is interesting to see what another team does, just even simple things."

We stayed here for 1 night the room was really spacious and clean loved the fact the breakfast was already in your room ie cereal toast with all the trimmings and juice yogurt in the fridge which is also in the room. Nice big television. Cosy bed.
Now for the down side, We think the owner may have forgot to...
The staff were very friendly and clearly well liked by the locals.
Both the family room and the twin room were decorated beautifully, very clean, comfortable and warm. The shower was lovely and easy to work as was everything else in the room. We were very pleased to have a small breakfast bar in both rooms which had a toaster...
Stayed for three nights over the new year period. Our host was welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room itself was clean and warm, the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was as advertised, which suited as a lie in was needed after the hogmanay celebration. Will return to Stranraer and will certainly return to the swan.
Like a previous reviewer, if I hadn't pre-paid, I'd've left...it was without exception, the worst place I have ever stayed! Access to the room was via a dirty smelly corridor past the pub loos, then up a metal fire escape! The room was freezing and not particularly clean, especially the shower (I looked in the empty room next door and...
We stayed here before setting off to Belfast. I'd pre-paid on booking.com which is a shame, as my wife burst into tears as soon as we alone in our room, otherwise we would have left straight away. Probably should have done anyway. For breakfast we were given a supermarket bag which contained a loaf of bread-says it all really. This...
We booked the family room for one night, and although I was a little worried by some of the reviews I had read, I was so wrong. The room was lovely, clean and with everything you need, but the hospitality shown by Lisa and her husband was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was what you pay for...
The Swan Inn is a delightful family run business and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone wanting a safe, clean accomodation. Recent stay for one night was wonderful. Clean room, breakfast provided, and the host and his wife were top notch in looking after our needs. We had a wonderful evening at the pub downstairs and were entertained...
Booked to stay to as I was playing in the bar downstairs with my band Scruffy Buzzards.
Really impressed with the level of comfort and the fact that everything was provided to make your own continental breakfast (including fresh milk) at a convenient time rather than having to wait until the kitchen opens.
The hospitality was excellent and the music...
Our stay was short but comfortable. After travelling for some time it was good to have everything at hand to make our own breakfast at a time of our choosing. A bowl of fresh fruit, croissants, a loaf of bread and toaster with milk, yoghurt, cereal, porridge and spreads provided all that was needed. Access to the rooms from a...

TOKYO/DONETSK Ukraine U.S. President Barack Obama said on Thursday he was poised to impose new sanctions on Moscow if it does not act fast to end an armed stand-off in Ukraine, but there was a first, tentative sign that pro-Russian separatists were ceding ground.
Under an international accord signed in Geneva last week, illegal armed groups in Ukraine, including the pro-Russian rebels occupying about a dozen public buildings in the east of the country, are supposed to disarm and go home.
In what has become the worst stand-off between Russia and the West since the Cold War, Washington accuses Moscow of fomenting unrest in Ukraine's east. Russia denies that and counters that Europe and the United States are propping up an illegitimate government in Kiev.
"So far at least we have seen them not abide by the spirit or the letter of the agreement in Geneva," Obama said of Russia on a visit to Japan.
"We have prepared for the possibility of applying additional sanctions," he told a news conference. "There's always the possibility that Russia, tomorrow, or the next day, reverses its course and takes a different approach."
Russian news agencies quoted Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as saying that he expected "the Geneva accords will be implemented in practical actions in the near future".
In NATO member Poland, the first group of a contingent of around 600 U.S. soldiers arrived on Wednesday. They are part of an effort by Washington to reassure eastern European allies who are worried by a build-up of Russian forces near Ukraine's borders.
In Ukraine, the Western-backed government said the city hall in Mariupol, which had been seized by pro-Russian separatists, was now back under central control. Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said the mayor was back in his office, and that explosives experts were checking the building to make it safe.
"In this instance there were no casualties. And that is good and proper. The process of getting the situation back to normal in the city will continue," Avakov said in a post on his Facebook page.
Mariupol, an industrial city on the Azov Sea, was the scene of violent clashes last week when, according to the Kiev government, separatist attackers tried to storm a base of the Ukrainian national guard.
If the Mariupol city hall is indeed back under Kiev's control, it would be the first substantial sign that the Geneva accord is being implemented.
But Kiev also reported a shootout overnight in another part of the east when a Ukrainian soldier was wounded, while pro-Russian separatists who control the city of Slaviansk were holding three journalists, including U.S. citizen Simon Ostrovsky.
Ukraine, a former Soviet republic, slipped into unrest late last year when Moscow-backed President Viktor Yanukovich rejected a pact to build closer ties with Europe. Protesters took over the centre of Kiev, eventually forcing him to flee in February.
Days later, Russian troops seized control of Ukraine's Crimea Peninsula. Moscow then annexed the region, saying it was protecting Russian residents, while the West called the action an illegal land grab.
The focus has now shifted to eastern Ukraine, the industrial heartland and home to a large Russian-speaking community.
With rhetoric building from the United States about the imposition of a new, tougher round of sanctions, Russia suggested on Thursday that Western firms which pulled out of the country may not be able to get back in.
"It is obvious that they won't return in the near future if they sever investment agreements with us, I mean there are consequences as well," Natural Resources Minister Sergei Donskoi told reporters.
"Russia is one of the most promising countries in terms of hydrocarbons production. If some contracts are severed here, then, colleagues, you lose a serious lump of your future pie," the minister added.
Supplies of Russian gas to Europe are also, potentially, at risk from the crisis over Ukraine. Russia has threatened to cut Kiev off unless it pays off its debts. This would have a knock-on effect on European customers further West, because many of the pipelines that deliver their gas run through Ukraine.
European and Ukrainian officials were to meet in Slovakia, which borders Ukraine, on Thursday to try to work out ways to mitigate the impact if Ukraine is cut off.
The options include reversing the usual east-west flow of the pipelines to Europe to pump gas back into Ukraine, but the volumes that could be supplied this way would be only a small fraction of the amount that Ukraine needs.
Unarmed mediators from the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe are in eastern Ukraine trying to persuade pro-Russian gunmen to go home, in line with the Geneva accord.
Though there was the possibility of progress in Mariupol, there were also fresh indications of the violence that has flared several times since the accord was signed, and threatened to torpedo it.
Interior minister Avakov said troops loyal to Kiev had repelled an overnight attack on their base in eastern Ukraine. In his Facebook post, he said the raid was led by a thickly-bearded man he alleged was a Russian soldier who had been spotted previously helping the separatists.
Reuters reporters have not been able to establish that any Russian troops or special forces members are in the region, though Kiev and Western powers say they have growing evidence that Moscow has a covert presence.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has described as "nonsense" allegations that Moscow has its forces in eastern Ukraine. It says the unrest is a spontaneous protest by local people who fear persecution from the government in Kiev which is illegitimate and has far-right links.
A Reuters reporter near Slaviansk, a flashpoint city where there is a concentration of heavily-armed pro-Russian separatists, said Ukrainian troops were fortifying a position nearby.
Kiev has said it will press ahead with an operation to crack down on the separatists - though it was not clear if its under-resourced security forces had the capacity to do that, or if it was possible without violating the Geneva accord.

Introduction to employee-ownership
Businesses can engage people to work for them on many different terms. They may have full-time, part-time or fixed-term employees, workers or self-employed individuals. The distinction between these categories is a trade-off between flexibility, control and obligation, for both the employer and the individual.
The Government has introduced proposals for the creation of a new status of employee, the employee-owner.
Under this new status, employee-owners may each receive shares up to the value of £50,000 which will be exempt from capital gains tax on their sale. Employee owners will have the same rights as current employees but will give up the following rights: unfair dismissal (except where this is automatically unfair or relates to anti-discrimination law); statutory redundancy pay; and certain rights to request flexible working and time off for training. They will also be required to provide 16 weeks notice of a firm date of return from maternity leave, instead of the usual eight…

Step 1: Gather Materials
1 rc reciever
1 rc servo
1 rc speed controller and motor (or make it autonomous with an aurduino)
1 computer fan about 120mm and fan grill to match
a bunch of popsicle sticks
rc transmitter
and other misc items and tools
Step 2: Make the hull
First youll need to make a fabric swatch for the botom (duck brand) about five strips wide and however long you want. it layer it five or more high and make the top and botom layers non sticky then. cut off the ovelap on the two sides
Second make another swatch for sides (schotch brand). make it five or mor thick. 3-4 strips wide and about 1-2 inches longer than your bottom
Third cut the swatch in half and find the angle you need for the front and cut it out
Fourth make another swatch five layers. and 3 strips wide for the angled piece. and 2 strips for the back piece. make it the length of your small side of the hull
fith once all this is done lay your sides and bottom flat and tape together the seams it may seem unstable but the next step will take care of that
Step 3: Lay the popsicle sticks
First start at the back of the boat and work forward lay them lenthwise and start gluing when you get to the end of them going lengthwise start layin sideways and cutting them to fit
second when floor done start the wall going from botom to top when at the top if the next stick hangs over the edge do not put on
third put a drop of glue in all the little squares for waterproofing and and put along the edges
Step 4: Fan disassembly
Step 5: Motor install
see pictures for help
if gear off of motor will fit just epoxy it to the blade see picture
Step 6: Fan assembly install
pictures will help with placement and install of struts
Step 7: Rudder
Step 8: Finishing up
dont place the battery in a specific spot because we got to ballence the boat first
place speed control and reciever where desired and connect all wires. then zip tie the loose wires together to save room
Step 9: Balancing
Step 10: Battery hold down install
Good show here!!
get a servo with a large disk arm and literally glue the computer fan to the arm. You would be controlling steering by turning the motor, not the air, this would make your steering more precise and efficient.
but check it out when its done
hey whats your e-mail address

NRF: Holiday Sales Made Grudging Gains
Wednesday January 16th, 2013 - 11:26AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
The National Retail Federation characterized the holiday season as healthy if not up to its forecast, noting that economic uncertainties sent a cautious consumer to stores. December retail sales excluding automobiles, gas stations and restaurants increased 0.8% seasonally adjusted from November, NRF noted, citing United States Department of Commerce statistics, and increased 2.1% unadjusted year-over-year.
Total holiday retail sales gained 3%, below NRF's projected forecast of 4.1%, to $579.8 billion. What the organizations categorizes as non-store holiday sales, including Internet-based transactions, grew 11.1%. NRF affiliate Shop.org forecasted a 12% advance in non-store sales for the months of November and December.
"For over six months, we've been saying that the fiscal cliff and economic uncertainty could impact holiday sales," NRF president and CEO Matthew Shay said. "As the number shows, these issues had a visible impact on consumer spending this holiday season. We can't expect consumers to continue to carry the burden of growing our economy. Washington must put political differences aside and do what it takes to get our country growing again and Americans back to work."
As tabulated by the Commerce Department, December figures for retail and food services sales, which include non-general merchandise categories such as automobiles, gasoline stations and restaurants, increased 0.5% seasonally adjusted month-to-month and 4.7% adjusted year-over-year.
"While non-store retail sales increased a hearty 11% this December, total December sales could not make up for shortfalls in certain categories like electronics," NRF chief economist Jack Kleinhenz said. "Heading into 2013, consumers could continue to think twice about their discretionary purchases as they face decreases in their paychecks and other concerns with their household budgets."
Other findings from the December retail sales report include:
