Recently we gave you guys some good news on the status of the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 untethered jailbreak. Pod2g, the iPhone hacker who was responsible for the recent iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak, tweeted that a new A5 untethered jailbreak could be released next week. Soon after that, he also asked everyone who's not on iOS 5.0.1 to upgrade as soon as they could. This means a great deal to all the iPhone 4S users, because they haven't got any sort of jailbreak to start with.
Pod2g, earlier today, also posted an FAQ regarding the A5 untethered jailbreak. Some users were disappointed that the iPhone developers couldn't find an exploit to jailbreak the iPhone 4S. In this FAQ, the hacker describes why exactly was it difficult to do that and why it was easier on the A4 devices. He also tells why he can't just release the untether to the public, as that is not an easy thing to do.
Why A4 version of Corona was easier to release ?
Because a tethered jailbreak is a good way to install Corona!
Why don't you do a tethered jailbreak then ?
A tethered jailbreak also relies on an exploitable vulnerability that we still haven't found yet !
pod2g, release this stuff quick, [your insult here], I've waited enough now.
If I could, I would !
His work has helped many users in jailbreaking their iOS devices running on iOS 5.0.1. And as the coming week draws nearer, we are all waiting for the release of an untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2. To read the complete FAQ, you'll need to head over to pod2g's blog. How many of you are ready for an untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2? Let us know in the comments!

TUESDAY, Aug. 12, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A screening test for colorectal cancer that can detect red blood cells and abnormal DNA in a person's stool has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The noninvasive Cologuard test can be performed at home and has shown more than 90 percent accuracy in clinical trials, the agency said in a news release.
Colorectal cancer, the second-leading cause of cancer death in the United States behind lung cancer, mostly affects people aged 50 and older. About 60 percent of colorectal cancer deaths could be prevented if everyone aged 50 and older were screened, the FDA said in its news release.
From a stool sample, Cologuard detects the blood protein hemoglobin. It also identifies certain genetic DNA mutations in cells shed by advanced adenomas -- large colon polyps that develop along the walls of the large intestine and are more likely than smaller polyps to progress to colorectal cancer.
People who receive positive results should have a colonoscopy, the FDA advised.
Cologuard's approval does not change current guidelines that recommend colorectal screening using fecal occult blood testing, sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy for all adults aged 50 to 75, the agency added.
Cologuard is produced by Exact Sciences of Madison, Wisc.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A lovely beach, extensive features, and separate sections for families and couples
For travelers seeking a truly full-feature resort, Carlisle Bay is one of Antigua's best bets. It has just about every activity one could desire, including tennis, sailing, kayaking among the mangroves, windsurfing, paddle-boarding, motorized water sports (on a separate cove so as not to disrupt the tranquility of the beach), free group yoga classes, movie screenings...the list goes on. Despite the many offerings, the vibe remains mostly tranquil, and the white-sand beach is lovely (if not quite as wide or long as beaches at other properties).
For families, Carlisle Bay provides the perfect combination of peace and activity: Peace for the parents, activity for the kids. There's a great kids' club for kids from six months to six years, and it's free for children over two. There are also free organized activities for kids seven to 12 and a teens' club for kids 13 and up. But those traveling without younger guests needn't worry too much about being overrun by kids, as the resort reserves one end of the resort for families and the other for couples.
The decor in the rooms and common spaces is modern and luxurious, but the Caribbean influences are very subtle; some may prefer a resort with more distinctive Caribbean charm. The food is a significant downside, as it's mediocre and extremely expensive (which is common for Antigua). For many travelers, the setting and features will amply compensate, but others may feel that the resort doesn't quite live up to its advertised five-star status. Competing Caribbean properties such as the Four Seasons Resort Nevis might offer more for your money.
On Antigua's southern coast, about 30 minutes from the airport
Carlisle Bay is located on Antigua's southern coast, to the west of English Harbour, which is a popular yachting destination. The island is small, and driving from one side to the other usually takes under an hour, though it should be noted that roads are in poor condition.
Antigua is a former British colony that's known for its multitude of beautiful beaches. It's also known, however, for its high prices and mediocre food. St. John's, the island's capital, is home to the only airport as well as a harbor where large cruise ships can dock. The southeastern shore has protected harbors with calmer waters, and English Harbour is the site of a massive week-long sailing regatta in the spring. The eastern shore gets beautiful sunsets.
Modern, understated rooms, all with balconies or terraces and at least partial ocean views
Carlisle Bay's 82 rooms are all suites with modern technology, balconies or terraces, and ocean views. The decor is modern and sophisticated, with a subdued color scheme of white, gray, and sage. The Caribbean influences are subtle: wooden ceilings, plantation shutters, and on the balconies, white wooden railings and rattan furniture.
Ocean Suites are located on the calm, couples end of the resort and have a separate sitting area and direct ocean views. Beach Suites are best suited for families, featuring a master bedroom with king bed and second bedroom with two twin beds. Ground-level Beach Suites have direct beach access. The Carlisle Suites are the largest option, with three bedrooms and room for six. All units have direct ocean views except for the Garden Suites, which have partial ocean views.
Lovely white-sand beach and calm waters
Carlisle Bay has a stunning white-and beach and, thanks to the location on the protected southern shore, calm waters where kids can swim safely. The beach isn't as wide or as long as the beaches at some other properties, however -- it's about a third of a mile long -- and on one end it abuts modest local homes.
Main pool surrounded by tropical landscaping, plus a kiddy pool
The main pool is adequately large for the size of resort and has tropical landscaping and cushioned lounge chairs. The open-air Pavillion Bar is directly adjacent.
Two-story spa pavilion
Blue spa has six treatment rooms, a sauna, and a plunge pool. The decor is understated and incorporates lots of cool grays.
A first-rate luxury option for families, with great kids activities
Decent variety, but food is underwhelming for the price
Indigo on the Beach is a casual beachfront restaurant offering healthy fare such as salads and grilled seafood. It's the resort's main restaurant and is open for all three meals.
East, open for dinner only, serves decent Asian cuisine (a rarity on Antigua) and has air-conditioning as well as decor of dark wood and red fabrics.
Ottimo is a poolside Italian restaurant open for lunch daily and for dinner about twice a week. The wood-fired pizzas and homemade gelato are popular.
Private dinners can be arranged on the beach and on the jetty.
Plenty of spots for casual beachside drinking
All the luxury services one would expect from this caliber of resort
Water sports, a big fitness center, tennis courts, and free group yoga classes
Carlisle Bay offers understated luxury on Antigua's southern coast. The resort has dedicated sections for both families and couples, and successfully appeals to both with its lovely white-sand beach, calm ocean, free non-motorized water sports, and impressive kids' club. The 82 rooms are modern and sophisticated if not very distinctly Caribbean, and the food is both expensive and unimpressive. But the extensive features and services (many of which are free) still make this one of the island's top luxury options.

This provider has limited knowledge in the area of parental alienation and after more than a year has not been able to make any progress with my family in this horribly cruel form of mental abuse. Dr. Denning may be cute as a button, but not able to at least identify she is not doing any good in this very complex family dynamic. My main reason for this review is to bring awareness to a terrible form of mental child abuse Parental Alienation.

Attentive, draws one out of one's self, genuinely listens and offers insight. And cute as a button, personality and otherwise; never a "down" mood, always upbeat. You'd be surprised how much that last bit helps the doctor-client relationship.

semeano It was great! Dimitri was born to be a B&B owner... very kind, very cheerful and so happy to receive people in Paros and leave a good impression! He came to pick us up at the Port, gave us suggestions of good places to eat and brought us back to Port on the last day. The place was very nice and clean, the room had a balcony nice to have your breakfast. The only disappointment, the room rate didn't include breakfast, but overall excellent stay! :)
JenniferJo Villa Galini is a small and charming guesthouse that offers excellent budget accommodation. The owners and staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, it is immaculately clean and the ambience is outstanding. All rooms appear to have a private terrace/eating area covered with bouganvillia and geraniums that soften the stark whiteness of the 'Greek Island' architecture and create a lovely environment to relax in. Were the views of the ocean rather than the town of Naoussa, it would be beyond my means. While I am middle aged, the young people I met staying there seemed also to be happy with their lot.

The Locofocos were a faction of the Democratic Party that existed from 1835 until the mid-1840s. The faction was originally named the Equal Rights Party, and was created in New York City as a protest against that city's regular Democratic organization ("Tammany Hall"). It contained a mixture of anti-Tammany Democrats and labor union veterans of the Working Men's Party. They were vigorous advocates of laissez-faire and opponents of monopoly. Their leading intellectual was editorial writer William Leggett.
The term "Locofoco" derives from "locofoco, a kind of friction match", the name of which match itself probably derives from "locomotive + Italian fuoco, foco fire, from Latin focus hearth".[1] It originated when a group of New York Jacksonians used such matches to light candles to continue a political meeting after Tammany men tried to break up the meeting by turning off the gaslights.[2]
The Locofocos were involved in the Flour Riot of 1837.
In the 1840 election, the term "Locofoco" was applied to the entire Democratic Party by its Whig opponents, both because Democratic President Martin Van Buren had incorporated many Locofoco ideas into his economic policy, and because Whigs considered the term to be derogatory.
In general, Locofocos supported Andrew Jackson and Van Buren, and were for free trade, greater circulation of specie, legal protections for labor unions and against paper money, financial speculation, and state banks. Among the prominent members of the faction were William Leggett, William Cullen Bryant, Alexander Ming, Jr., John Commerford, Levi D. Slamm, Abram D. Smith, Henry K. Smith, Isaac S. Smith, Moses Jacques, Gorham Parks, and Walt Whitman (then a newspaper editor).
Ralph Waldo Emerson said of the Locofocos: "The new race is stiff, heady, and rebellious; they are fanatics in freedom; they hate tolls, taxes, turnpikes, banks, hierarchies, governors, yea, almost all laws."[3]

Hotel Room Tour: Hotel Ambassador – Tulsa, Oklahoma
The book tour has finally commenced to start (name that movie), which means the Hotel Room Tour feature here on PW Home & Garden is in full swing! I'll be showcasing all the rooms I stay in across this great land of ours, occasionally peeking inside the honor bar and lifting up the toilet seats (probably not) to show you all the features.
My first stop was here: the Hotel Ambassador in Tulsa, the city where my launch was held Tuesday night.
Nestled in downtown Tulsa (I've always wanted to say that), the Ambassador is considered a "boutique" hotel. The Lobby is small in scale, but gorgeous.
What you're looking at here is a standard double queen bed room. Call me crazy…this room doesn't quite fit the stereotype of what I'd think of as a "boutique hotel." Boutique hotel rooms are generally small, aren't they?
This room was enormous.
Here's a nice little desk area, complete with Danielle Steel on the bookshelf.
I don't know why that gave me a chuckle. I guess I assume boutique hotels went for Dostoevsky or something.
The bathroom and vanity. Plenty of room for me to apply my Pat Benatar eyeliner, try to curl my lifeless hair, and apply eighty coats of mascara!
I love that in a hotel room bathroom.
I shaved my legs in this shower. I had to radio down to maintenance and ask them to bring me some hedge trimmers.
It had been awhile.
And here's the view back into the room.
I had heard the Ambassador was nice, and the restaurant in the hotel's basement, The Chalkboard, is a yummy place to eat—a bistro kind of feel. But I was really, really surprised by the size of the rooms and how nicely appointed everything was. And the beds were really, really comfortable—not that I wouldn't have slept on a rock at the late hour I finally turned in.
(Nicely appointed? I've got to stop reading Fodor's guides.)
I'd recommend the Ambassador to anyone visiting Tulsa!

Absolutely crushed….got out of work late…rushed to the book signing at Full Circle in Oklahoma City and it was NUTS! The line was wrapped around the inside the mall and I knew I'd never be able to get in there to buy a book and have you sign it…but I'm really excited for you and your success! Everyone loves you! Including me. Congratulations on your cookbook – I'm going to order some from Amazon and give as gifts.

Christina On Thursday, October 29 at 9:29 pm
I HATE shaving after it's been a while…then it's just worse. Can I borrow the hedge trimmers?
Well, maybe I should just get some for myself. Eek.
What a hotel room!

I just received my cookbook in the mail today and it was the fastest 246 pages I've ever read! I couldn't put it down! The colors – gorgeous. The stories – hilarious. I think I gained 50 pounds while I read it! The recipes look phenomenal and I actually might start cooking again! I can't wait for the next book – bring it on!

Okay for once I ACTUALLY know a movie quote! It's from Father of the Bride II! Love it!

Father of the Bride 2! I know it's already been answered but as soon as you said that I immediately thought of that movie. I think this is the first movie quote I've known right off the bat!

Boutique hotels are the only way to go. I just stayed at a fabulous one in Seattle – the Artic Club Hotel. You just feel like your spending a special moment when there's history behind the hotel. Chain hotels just don't have the ambience. The Artic was once a men's club. Nice to see this one in Tulsa!
Nicola On Friday, October 30 at 3:08 am
Thanks Ree, I inherited dark built in wardrobes and bed in our bedroom that I can't afford to change – I needed a gorgeous idea to make the room beautiful. Definitely going to steal this style

That place is E-normous! I stayed at a Hyatt recently in the cheapest room they had and it was quite nice. A benefit of the roaring economy prior to tanking.
Got your book yesterday and I cannot let go of it or the dog will eat it (he tried once). It looks great and you should be very proud.

Being the book nerd that I am, can you also include pictures of some of the bookstores you are signing at? I like the one you currently have posted under your confessions tab, and looks like you have some more interesting stops along the way. Love B&N, but it's nice to see the indepedents still holding their own.

As for hedgetrimming..i find that extra bit of 'fur' helps keeps the stockings from slipping!! hehehehehe

Favorite small hotel in San Fran is the El Drisco in the Pacific Heights neighborhood. You must check it out if you go.

Delvin On Friday, November 6 at 10:22 am
Sometimes I get sick of seeing just how charmed your life is and your fancy hotels when people are losing their jobs and can't afford to feed their kids. Mom blogs are getting pretty ridiculous

While granting that his other scholarly achievements are not necessarily compromised by his extreme aberrances in tenets of faith, it should not be forgotten that depicting the latter as a "reform" or "return to early Islam" represents a blameworthy innovation on his part that appeared more than seven centuries after the time of the Prophet, Allah bless and greet him, and his Companions. A particularly unsavory aspect of it is that in his attempts to vindicate the doctrine, Ibn al-Qayyim casts aspersions upon the Islam of anyone who does not subscribe to it, at their forefront the Ash'ari school, whom his books castigate as Jahmiyya or Mu'attila, implying, by equating them with the most extreme factions of the Mu'tazilites, that they deny any significance to the Divine Attributes, a misrepresentation that has seen a lamentable recrudescence in parts of the Muslim world today.
Ibn al-Qayyim's "Book of the Soul" (Kitab al-Ruh) ranks among the best books on the subject of the Islamic understanding of life after death according to the Qur'an, the Sunna, and the doctrine of the Salaf and the Four Imams, establishing without doubt that the dead hear the living and know of them. Since this hearing of the dead is a contradiction of the fundamental Wahhabi tenet that the dead cannot hear the living, mumblings are sometimes heard about the authenticity of his authorship of the book among the "Salafis."[2] However, the book is undoubtedly by Ibn al-Qayyim and is attributed to him by over two dozen scholars both in his time and after.[3] It also contains internal proofs of his authorship, such as his mention of his own book – now lost – entitled Ma'rifa al-Ruh wa al-Nafs[4] and his identifying two of his direct teachers as Abu al-Hajjaj (al-Mizzi), and Ibn Taymiyya:
"Our shaykh Abu al-Hajjaj, the hadith master, used to say that."[5]
"I heard Shaykh al-Islam, Ibn Taymiyya stress this…"[6]
"Our shaykh said: 'The sun itself does not descend from the heaven, and the sunrays that are on earth are neither the sun nor its attribute, but an accident ('arad) caused by the sun and the mass (jirm) opposite it.'"[7] This is taken verbatim from Ibn Taymiyya's notorious "Explanation of the hadith of Allah's descent."[8]
Another internal proof of Ibn al-Qayyim's authorship of Kitab al-Ruh is his lapsing into excessive criticism of Ash'aris and misattributions of spurious positions to them as is typical of his school,[9] although in much of his book he cites from al-Tadhkira, a book by the Ash'ari scholar al-Qurtubi.
Ibn al-Qayyim violently attacked imitation (taqlîd) of the four schools of Law among traditional Sunni Muslims and voiced his anti-madhhab stance in a two-volume work on the principles of the Law entitled I'lam al-Muwaqqi'in. In the latter book he rejects the evidence that the Companions and great Imams endorsed imitation as inapplicable to later generations and instead advocates a kind of populist ijtihâd in which every Muslim is his own imam and is urged to apply his or her own mind toward interpreting the Qur'an and Sunna independently, untrammelled by the burdensome qualifications in jurisprudence, language, hadith methodology, and the Qur'anic sciences that are required for ijtihâd. It is enough refutation of this Islamically-veiled Protestantism that Ibrahim al-Nakha'i said: "If the Companions made ablution to the wrists I swear I would have done the same, even as I read the verse of ablution as stating [to the elbows] (5:6)."[10] More explicitly, al-Shatibi said: "The fatwas of the mujtahids are to the laymen what the Shari'a evidences are to the mujtahids."[11] The Indian jurist and hadith scholar Habib Ahmad al-Kiranawi blasted Ibn al-Qayyim's theses in a 100-page epistle entitled al-Din al-Qayyim[12] in which he states:

Upcoming My Old Kentucky Blog Presents concert events, powered by Do317.com
A while back, we posted a most excellent remix of Trippple Nippples' Golden Road from Austrailian born, NYC based producer Oli Chang. For those who may not be familiar, Chang is in the a member off the much buzzed about band High Highs, who signed to Elton John's Rocket Music not too far back. They are expected to be putting out a their debut album later this year.
In his spare time from that project, Chang has been putting in some studio time working on his own material and by the sound of new song that that just landed in our inbox, we are starting to see some tasty fruits from Mr. Chang's labor.

TV preview: Line of Duty on BBC 2 at 9pm
Posted: March 19, 2014|
Sometimes doing this job things pass you by, regardless of how good they are. To my shame I have to admit that I only started watching Line of Duty about a week ago on catchup TV. Behold the wonders of the Internet and DVD coming to the rescue because now I'm totally hooked. Series one was brilliant, comparable to Suspects which is high praise indeed.
Line of Duty reminds me very much of The Bill. Not when it finished after being a parody for ten years, but right at the beginning when it started in the late eighties. The window into the unknown opened on a world the public didn't know much about. Of course Line of Duty is much more about the battles between the individuals but still lingers in that "this actually happens" kind of way.
So here we are, gearing up for the series finale. Dryden's numerous wrongdoings are coming to a head despite his claims of being set up and the whodunit is perfectly poised to either burn everything to the ground or set up the pins for a third series.
But if the BBC refuse to greenlight a third series do not lose hope as the Internet will probably come to a rescue again.
To prove a point I direct you to Ripper Street, a very different kind of cop show set in 1800's Whitechapel. After drawing significant viewing figures, at it's lowest point Ripper Street had a million more viewers per episode than Line of Duty, the BBC decided not to renew it for a third series. However, it has recently been confirmed that Amazon Prime Instant Video (formerly LOVEFiLM) has funded and is filming a third series due to air at the end of this year with the whole main cast returning.
So even if things all look lost when Line of Duty wraps up tonight, do not fear. Good television will find a way to survive, and Line of Duty is very good television indeed.

Sagan calls the "Great Demotions" moments in scientific history that downgraded humanity's place in the universe. Galileo helped to show that the Earth was not the only "world" along with it not being the center of the universe, bringing about another great demotion. Other great demotions have occurred, however, such as our discovery that we do not live in the only galaxy, or that our galaxy is not at the center of the universe or that no other star has planets. Today we have even discovered planets orbiting other stars.
The fundamentalist monotheisms want the universe to be only 6,000 years old, but this raises the awkward question of why there are objects more than 6,000 light-years away. Saga realizes that God may have created all the photos of light in such as fashion as to mislead generations of astronomers...

Roman portraits (Room 85)
The Wolfson Gallery
1st – 4th century AD
Closed until further notice
Portrait sculptures are one of the great legacies of Roman art. Busts and statues portraying men, women and children from most ranks of society were set up in houses, tombs and public buildings throughout the Roman Empire. Sculptures of emperors and magistrates were often thought to embody personal authority, whereas many of the portraits representing private citizens were intended as memorials to the dead.
A number of portraits, together with examples from Cyrene (eastern Libya) are on display in Room 85.

Things I liked:I actually like the safety being on the right side. Easier for right handed people before they shoot to just move your finger forward. Power is nice. Slides easy. Works great. The accuracy is nice at about 30 feet but then you can see slight curving which is fine being this is a pistol used for close-quarters.
Things I would have changed:The safety to actually be a safety its just painted on
What others should know:You should know it has a lot of power like more than stated. It went through two cans and two sheets of cardboard. I'm not sure if this was added power because I just got it but it was awesome. Still this is a really cool handgun to have for beginners.

Pomona College Ranked the Best Value Among Liberal Arts Colleges
Pomona College has been named the "Best Value" among liberal arts colleges for the second year in a row by Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine. In its December 2009 edition, the magazine listed the top 100 "Best Values in Private Colleges," ranking them according to academic quality and affordability—with quality accounting for two-thirds of the total. Affordability measures considered included "the price of attending" as well as "generosity when it comes to financial aid."
"This year's top 100 private schools met the challenges of a slumping economy with brio," says Janet Bodnar, editor of Kiplinger's. "With so many private institutions offering generous financial aid packages, families are finding that private college is still affordable. In fact, the average tuition price can be as little as half or less of the sticker price—making them very competitive with public universities."
In the accompanying article, Kiplinger reporter Jane Bennett Clark writes that despite rough economic times, "independent colleges boosted financial aid by 9% while keeping tuition increases – an average of 4.3% -- to their lowest levels in four decades."
Pomona was noted as providing "its students with a top-quality education in a setting that snowbound Ivy Leaguers can only dream of. This small school, with some 1,500 students, faces the stunning San Gabriel Mountains and basks in the Southern California sun. Almost all of its freshmen return for sophomore year, a sure sign of happy campers, and 90% of its seniors graduate on time, sparing their parents the expense of a fifth year. As for financial aid, if you need it, you get it." Pomona meets the full financial aid need of every student with a financial aid package of scholarships and no loans.
Three of Pomona's sister colleges in The Claremont Colleges were also represented on the Kiplinger's top 50 best values among liberal arts colleges. Claremont McKenna College was listed at no. 5, Harvey Mudd College at no. 24 and Scripps College at no. 34.
The full Kiplinger's article can be found at http://www.kiplinger.com/magazine/archives/best-values-in-private-colleges.html. The issue goes on sale on November 10.
Pomona College, founded in 1887, is located in Claremont, CA, approximately 35 miles east of the City of Los Angeles. Its hallmarks include small classes, close relationships between students and faculty, and a range of student research and involvement opportunities.

Bishop England football coach John Cantey sees a lot of similarities between his Battling Bishops and Abbeville when he breaks down film.
Football scheduleState championshipsFridayat Benedict College, ColumbiaDivision I-AAFairfield-Central vs. Dillon, 5:30 p.m.Division II-AABishop England vs. Abbeville, 8:30 p.m.Saturdayat Williams-Brice Stadium, ColumbiaDivision II-AAAANorthwestern vs. Greenwood, noonDivision I-AAAAGaffney vs. Dutch Fork, 3:30 p.m.Class AAAHartsville vs. Union County, 6 p.m.
Their defense comes up with a lot of big plays, a lot of turnovers, Cantey said of Abbeville, which will face the Bishops at 8:30 p.m. Friday in the Division II-AA state championship game at Benedict College.
Their defense puts their offense in good position with a short field. On offense, they like to grind it.
Both teams like to run the ball. Bishop England threw one pass in its victory over Silver Bluff last week. Abbeville also passed just once against Chesnee last Friday.
Abbeville is seeking its third straight state championship, but first at the II-AA level. The Panthers own an 11-2 record after moving up in classification from Division I-A. Abbeville beat Chesnee, 40-13, with a running game that churned out more than 300 yards and a defense that caused four turnovers.
Bishop England was just as impressive in its 42-7 victory at Silver Bluff. The Bishops rushed for 370 yards, while the defense forced three turnovers.
Defense was a big reason why the Bishops won the Division II-AA state title last year. They were very opportunistic, forcing 47 turnovers, including 32 interceptions. They were also very stingy. They allowed only 155 yards and 6.7 points per game.
Defense also is a big reason why the Bishops are back in the title game and own a 25-2 record the past two seasons. This fall, the Bishops have forced 35 turnovers, including 20 interceptions. They have allowed only 243 yards and 13.5 points per game.
This year, the defense has been a work in progress, Cantey said. Last year, everyone sort of expected the defense to be ready from Day 1. This year, were learning about execution. But what makes it good is that they work hard.
Defensive end Griffie Loy has been a starter both years and hes come up big on defense. Hes recorded 72 tackles, including 26 for a loss and seven sacks. Hes forced four fumbles and recovered three. He says the younger players have stepped up.
Everybodys contributed, Loy said. This year the defense has been tough and we still feel we have something to prove. Nobody expected us to win (against Central) last year, and now we can have two titles to our legacy. We have to be ready, but we can do it.
Senior linebacker Zach Richter leads the team with 117 tackles, including eight for a loss. Nick Shiver leads the team with six interceptions and is one of four talented players in the secondary. Reed Fosberry and DeAngelo Stephenson both have four picks while Ryan Rogers has three.

You're all sinners!
Sinclair Lewis shook Christian values when he wrote Elmer Gantry.
Published in 1927, Gantry is a satiric and scathing look not only at revivalism, but the different sects of Christianity and the seemingly devout men and women who lead them.
The film (released in 1960, starring Burt Lancaster, winning 3 Oscars) is less acidic. It focuses entirely on Elmer Gantry's relationship with revivalist Sharon Falconer, which is one episode in the novel, and largely ignores the rest of Gantry's story. Lewis takes his time detailing Elmer's education, conversion to Christianity and move from Methodism to the Baptist pulpit before he meets Falconer, and his fall after her death and his "rebirth" as a Methodist minister with skeletons in his closet.
In the film, Lefferts is Falconer's sole detractor. The book is rife with doubters. From common folk merely asking questions to conflicted church leaders, hardly anyone believes wholeheartedly. Gantry is a fraud. He comes to the ministry to gain power and prestige. Falconer saves souls for exorbitant sums of money; professors at Bible college are actually atheists; men who preach piety publicly privately indulge in women and booze. Lewis focuses on hypocrisy, doubt and ignorance.
The film character of Lulu Bains also departs from Lewis' vision. In the film she is a painted woman, condemned to prostitution after Gantry seduces her and she is banished from her father's home. She is proud; she flaunts her sexuality and blackmails Gantry, smearing him in the press as revenge for their sordid history. Lewis' Lulu is simple, innocent, and hardly destroyed.
Different, too, is the character of Sharon Falconer. Played by Jean Simmons, she is a beautiful, faithful servant to her cause. She denies Gantry her affections until nearly the end, and she is shown to have complete faith in her message.The novelist's Falconer is moody, spoiled, and affectionate. She sees religion first as a business, and she takes as much money from the pot as she can without detection. She is at once angelic, childish and strange.
At one point in the novel, she reveals an altar in her home where she worships not only the Christian God, but also Eastern and Pagan gods, and longs to eventually preach the message that each God is the same. She compares herself to Joan of Arc and suggests that she is her reincarnation. She boasts about being the female Messiah. She takes up with Elmer almost immediately, utilizing him in whatever way she feels may benefit her most (as she has with many men before him). The angelic Falconer on film has little to do with the Falconer Lewis imagined.
Perhaps the most striking difference between the novel and the film lies in Elmer's character and his journey. In the film, he seems to learn something. He yearns for a simpler life after Falconer's death and walks away from the power and prestige he has inherited.
In the novel, he learns nothing. He moves from Baptist preaching to New Age lectures to the Methodist Church in an attempt to gain power, prestige and money. He marries a woman (poor thing) to gain wealth and status. He preaches against sin during the day and philanders at night. To the last page of the novel, Gantry remains Gantry: wild, impulsive, womanizing, and power-hungry.
The Florentine Opera will stage the Robert Aldridge/Herschel Garfein opera version of Elmer Gantry at 7:30 p.m. Friday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 19 and 21, at Marcus Center Uihlein Hall. Tom Strini's interviews with composer Aldridge, librettist Garfein and Florentine general director William Florescu are right here.

PORTERDALE Today will be the last day on the job for City Manager Tom Fox, who has accepted the position of public safety director for Social Circle.Fox, who has worked for Porterdale for 13 years, was presented a resolution recognizing his contributions to the city at the council's Monday night meeting. Mayor Bobby Hamby expressed the council's thanks to Fox "for a job well done." Fox will be succeeded by interim city manager Frank Sherrill under a three-month contract while the council looks for a permanent replacement. Mayor to request help with sewers The council unanimously agreed to authorize Hamby to request assistance from the Northeast Georgia Regional Council in applying for a grant for sewer improvements in the town. NGRC will also be enlisted to help coordinate and administer any grant funds received for the sewer repairs. City clerk Lynn Rodriguez reported that property tax collections are about 75 percent complete. Taxes were due Dec. 20, and Rodriguez said payments continue to trickle in. Those who do not pay within a specified grace period will be subject to property tax liens. Fox said that the city has granted up to 60 days grace period in the past. Animal vaccinations, registration available at Depot in April Councilwoman Linda Finger proposed two dates for animal registration and vaccination as required by Porterdale ordinance from 1 to 5 p.m. April 10 and 17 at the Depot. Finger said she has arranged for the volunteer services of a local veterinarian to provide vaccinations at a reduced cost. Last year, the first year the ordinance requiring pets in Porterdale to be registered, Finger said more than 200 animals were registered. Organizations donate to repair Christmas star The council also voted unanimously to accept a donation of $590 from the Porterdale Woman's Club and The Friends of Porterdale. The funds were used to make repairs to the Christmas star atop the Porterdale water tower. In addition, the council recognized the contribution of about a dozen large bags of aluminum cans that were donated to the town's Christmas decorations fund by teenage brothers Michael Hobbs and James Hobbs.

Paleo Tex-Mex is super easy: just strip away the beans, rice, sour cream, cheese, corn chips, and tortillas, then sob quietly into your sad, half-empty plate of ground beef while people around you nod in pity (poor caveman). Tears. Just kidding!—Paleo Tex-Mex can be super easy, plus yummy, filling, and oh-so-nutritious when you rethink it from a whole foods perspective. Understand that it won't be your typical Rosa's order (with all the fixin's from above), but the modifications you make will benefit so much more than your taste buds. What's AIP friendly? It means the recipe meets the standards for the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol (see the bottom of the post). The recipes here offer options for both the regular Paleo diet and the AIP.
THE NOT-A-TACO—Serves 4 + a bit of leftovers
1 head lettuce, shredded
2 sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into fry-size pieces
2 beets, peeled and cut into small squares (these are ninja beets–it's how I hide nutrition from my family, even though it turns the beef pink; you could easily substitute with spinach, mushrooms, or your vegetable of choice instead . . . bacon probably wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings either)
2 lb grass-fed beef
1 purple onion, minced
3-4 cloves garlic
½ spray cilantro, minced
½ stalk green onion, chopped
Sea salt
Red pepper flakes, cumin (avoid for AIP)
Set your oven to 425 degrees. Rub your sweet potatoes with your favorite fat—I prefer duck or leftover bacon fat; coconut oil is second best; olive oil is third. Toss them with salt & red pepper flakes if desired (the heat's a nice touch). Throw them in the oven until tender (big pieces can take up to 45 minutes, check on them about every 15). On the stove, toss the beets with a tbsp of fat (the same you used for the sweet potatoes) and saute on medium heat. Once they start to get tender, add the purple onion and garlic. After about five minutes, add the beef, a healthy dash of salt (sea salt is good for you, so don't be scared), and cumin if desired. Once everything is cooked, build your not-a-taco: lettuce, sweet potatoes, beef . . . top with cilantro & green onion . . . then add the salsa and/or guacamole of your choice. (I've got an upcoming post on salsa—even for AIP, which excludes tomatoes—but be sure to check out some guacamole options below.) If you really, really miss sour cream and you can tolerate dairy, mix some Greek yogurt (I recommend Fage whole fat) with cumin to top off your non-taco (avoid for AIP) . . . do not believe Paleo bloggers who suggest that coconut cream is an acceptable sour cream substitute, they are full of lies (no one wants this to be coconut meat pie).
#1: The Hatch-Green Hottie (Not for AIP)
2 avocados, mashed
2-3 roasted hatch green chilis, minced (at HEB right now! You can also use jalapeno or simply a healthy dash of cayenne pepper.)
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
1/3 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup cilantro, minced
Sea salt & cumin to taste
Juice of 2 limes
#2: The All-Cool Avocado (Totally for AIP)
2 avocados, mashed
1/3 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup cilantro, minced
3 radishes, minced
Sea salt to taste
Juice of 2 limes
For either recipe, mash, mince, and mix everything together! Adjust for taste, and enjoy the heck out of it.
If you're just diving into the Paleo experience and you're wondering why we choose to eliminate the foods that we do, check out some of the intro-to-Paleo books on The Favorites page (the gist is that you're avoiding potential digestive and immune system irritants). If you're new to the Autoimmune Protocol, it is a more restrictive version of the Paleo diet created specifically for people suffering from autoimmune disorders and systemic inflammation. Practical Paleo gives a great overview of the AIP, along with menu plans to help guide anyone interested in following it.

Considering how hard his company has been trying to obtain a legal death warrant for Aereo, CBS CBS president Les Moonves affected a suspiciously nonchalant air when talking about the streaming TV service on Wednesday's earnings call.
"We think it's a lot more wind than reality," Moonves said, responding to an analyst's question about whether offerings like Aereo — not that there are any comparable ones at the moment — undermine the broadcast networks' ability to charge cable and satellite distributors hefty retransmission fees.
"It's an illegal service that's stealing our content," he added. "We don't think it's catching on at all."
Aereo hasn't publicly released any subscriber numbers that would challenge the latter assertion (and didn't immediately respond when I emailed them for a reaction to Moonves's words), but the former runs counter to the expressed opinions of federal courts that have considered the matter, most recently the Second Court of Appeals.
There's also a case to be made that the difficulty CBS is having negotiating a new carriage deal with Time Warner Cable Time Warner Cable owes something to the existence of Aereo. TWC has been instructing its New York City subscribers that they can use Aereo to watch CBS shows in the instance of a programming blackout. The two companies have a temporary agreement in place that expires at 5 p.m. Eastern on Friday.
Moonves had nicer things to say about other streaming services, in particular Amazon Prime. A deal whereby Amazon pays for the right to stream episodes to its customers four days after they air on CBS helped the network to turn a profit on the show, which costs $3 million an episode to produce, before a single episode ever aired. That, in turn, helped CBS to achieve its most profitable quarter ever, on $3.7 billion in revenues.
"I think you will see every network, and I know they are, develop and try to replicate the model we did," Moonves said.

Growing crowds of protesters are demanding the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, but the person most likely to determine the country's immediate future is a different figure altogether: newly-appointed Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman.
Suleiman, a former intelligence chief, is emerging as the central player in the back-channel communications between Washington and Cairo about the timing and structure of the country's first real elections in more than 30 years. Mubarak, who has ruled the country for that long, has already announced that neither he nor his son will take part in the vote.
When Vice President Joe Biden wanted to discuss the pace and scope of Egypt's political reforms on Tuesday, for instance, he called Suleiman, not Mubarak. White House officials said Biden pressed Suleiman to immediately rescind the country's hated emergency law, which Mubarak has used for decades to stifle dissent; stop arresting journalists and protesters; and invite a broader swath of the country's opposition to participate in talks about the timing of Egypt's next elections. The White House declined to comment on how Suleiman responded to Biden's requests.
Suleiman's ascent poses difficult questions for the Obama administration, which is struggling to balance its commitment to democratic ideals with its fears that Egypt's ongoing political crisis could lead to the emergence of a government which is far less friendly to the U.S. or Israel.
In public comments, the White House has demanded that Egypt begin an "immediate" and "meaningful" political transition, but refused to call for Mubarak to step down. The caution reflects the long-standing American belief in the importance of maintaining stability in Egypt, which successive administrations have seen as a linchpin of American policy throughout the Middle East.
Suleiman himself has irked the White House by rebuffing an informal proposal that he help usher Mubarak into a ceremonial role while assuming de facto control over the country until presidential elections can be held this fall. Obama administration officials have also expressed unease about Suleiman's repeated public assertions that the crowds in Tahrir Square were being manipulated by unspecified outside forces and that Egypt itself wasn't yet ready for democracy.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs chided Suleiman for those remarks in unusually strong language on Tuesday, calling them "particularly unhelpful."
"I don't think [Suleiman's remarks] in any way squares with what those seeking greater opportunity and freedom think is a timetable for progress," Gibbs told reporters.
Despite such criticism, senior Obama administration officials have made clear that they trust Suleiman to guide Egypt toward its post-Mubarak future.
"It is important to support the transition process announced by the Egyptian government actually headed by now-Vice President Omar Suleiman," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told a security conference in Munich last weekend.
The administration's embrace of Suleiman has alarmed many pro-democracy advocates and Egypt experts, who argue that nothing in Suleiman's background suggests he is prepared to make a meaningful break with the Mubarak era by instituting far-reaching political reforms.
"The process that is unfolding now has many of the attributes of a smokescreen," an influential group of analysts known as the Working Group on Egypt wrote in letters to Obama and Clinton. "What we seek in Egypt is not the current regime without the Mubarak family, but a true transition to democracy and an open political system."
Michele Dunne, an Egypt expert who helped draft the letter, said she was "disappointed" by the White House's decision to so publicly back Suleiman.
"I don't see why the U.S. should throw its weight behind Suleiman at this point, since all he's offering is a continuation of the current government with some minor cosmetic changes," she told National Journal. "All those kinds of comments do is undercut the protesters just when they most need our support."
Still, the events of the past few days have underscored just how momentous it is that a transition is now underway in Egypt. For better or for worse, the Mubarak era is drawing to a close. Suleiman's turn in the limelight, by contrast, may be just beginning.

Jeffrey Priesmeyer: Good Friday for Alton Church with Alleged Vandal Arrested
Categories: Criminally Stupid
|Priesmeyer: Fabric softener added to mess.
Church officials at the Greater Alton Church arrived at their chapel early last Sunday -- April 1 -- to find several discharged fire extinguishers (with their chemical agent covering hundreds of chairs), fabric softener spilled about the floor and two busted coffee canisters.
An April Fool's joke? Perhaps, though none of the church members thought it very funny.
A sheriff's investigation led deputies to Priesmeyer, who questioned the suspect in his nearby home. Authorities say that they found an item stolen from the church inside Priesmeyer's home. On Tuesday he was arrested and taken into custody. He remained in the Madison County Jail yesterday with bond set at $40,000.
