Wrong-way driver initiative underway
In January, I wrote about a wrong-way driving initiative spearheaded by the Texas Department of Transportation. The plan is to install wrong-way detectors and flashing warning signs along U.S. 281, between Interstate 35 and Stone Oak. The majority of the detectors will be installed on 32 exit ramps, so law enforcement can spot wrong-way drivers before […] [Read More]

Dear Domestic Goddess,
I just read your article in NY Mag "And I Should Know" nymag.com, First I want to say I LOVE YOUR HAIR. You have the most amazing "salt and pepper color" going on and I respect you for going natural, Looks Awesome! 2nd THANK YOU for "Rosanne" My Fiancée and I watch it often (we have the whole series) It is our "comfort TV" we most often watch YOUR show marathon style when times are most difficult in our lives and it give much needed relief and laughs. So I wanted to thank you (and all those who made the show great) for what you have done for my family on the very gray days of our lives.
Set up a website and accept donations, but state that ALL donations will go to feed the hungry and house the houseless….
Dear Roseanne,
today I sat under my favorite tree and I finished reading your new book. thanks for sharing your life story and thoughts. I love the quote "Because God,the author of all critical thought,reguires me to be so,you fucking moron!. When asked why are you so angry, I can totally relate. I also like glen beck and sarah palin's american prayer, SO TRUE. Thanks again for speaking the truth. My mon passed away in march and this book put a smile on my face.
Stace, It's quite true, I'm sure people just love to get a rise out of Roseanne so they can be recognized, which is sad because it takes away from the people who are trying to show her love. You know what you're talking about and after reading this, I do to. It just sucks to see the haters, and the lengths they will go, take all the positive energy from Rosanne. I know she's a positive vessel of Light, but people push her to her extremes and get on her bad side, and that's all they'll see from her, and all they deserve to see. But the real Roseanne is very productive and positive. A true beacon of Light to all of us. I know she's a true sweetheart behind the tough exterior, but she's gotta stay tough for the sake of the U.S. and the Women here, so she can become our next President. Thanks for the enlightenment Stace.
If you a celebrity tho that's just one thing you have to deal with. You can be one of two types, like the rest and just ignore it or you can be everyones favorite on Twitter by firing back at haters because whats ironic is most Twitter haters are actually fans of the person who are just looking for more personalized responses from those they actually admire.
I can imagine Roseanne must get a lot of haters on Twitter tho, and that's probably only because of her show. It sounds like its not even celebrity Roseanne Barr's reaction their wanting but blue collared Roseanne Conners. If your on television then people always remember you for you character and not you yourself and from the show Roseanne it was always the most funny when she was pissed off and screaming at people and people are probably just looking to see that come out.
Hate on Twitter isn't anything to worry about, it always happens and you just got to blow it off because you can't get rid of it….even if block someone because all a block on Twitter means is they have to actually go to your page to read your tweets because it won't let them follow you and also if they mention you (which they still can) then it just won't show up in you "Mentions" tab.
But as I said, Twitter is by far nothing to take seriously because anyone with a notable name will get haters on there, and only because the hater wants attention. Their just having fun and hoping they can say something to piss you off and get you to react. Hell if you want an example to that take a look at the Jersey Shore casts Twitter pages. Each of them have millions of followers and they get hundreds of people tweeting them PER HOUR and mixed in with the messages of adoration, wanting retweets, and marriage proposals they also get tons of people that send them hateful messages but they will either ignore it or retweet with a message saying some like "#certifiedhater" so that their fans can go at them because they realize that these people are just having a little fun because they get a kick out of pissing off celebrities and getting them to lash out at them (I even seen one of them tweet once "Hate all you want but as long as your saying my name then it won't be forgotten so keep it up please, I'm not rich enough yet!" hahaha)…. but if you just ignore it tho and don't give in to firing back at them then they just go away because once you go off on one then you attract more that want that same kind of attention.
Social networking sites are like nothing we've probably ever seen before tho so you just got to know how to handle it. Hollywood's seen the biggest impact to it tho because there are tons of people whoo will send hate messages just wanting attention but there are also a mulitudes of benefits because each social networking has its success stories. Facebook followers who pushed hard enough are who got 88 yrs old Betty White out of retirement and invited to 'Saturday Night Live' and YouTube is also creating overnight celebrities all the time who are making serious cash from it too, like Keenan Cahill for example of that. He's just a 16 yrs old kid with down syndrome who makes videos on YouTube of himself dancing goofy to popular songs and he caught so much attention by how unique and cute it was that he has tens of millions of people watching and now even the biggest names in the music industry, from 50 cent to Britney Spears, flocking to him wanting to create videos with this kid now.
A new age is here, and its called social networking. You just got to know how to handle it because its broken down massive barriers and for that we should be grateful but also must learn how to deal with it because its not like normal interaction at all.
"I promise you I am not a liar nor am I a fake."
Based on this promise, I will write you in.
"The Ram"…???
I'm not offering to body guard you, I'm telling you I'm going to body guard you! I've seen the hate on twitter towards you and I know you need protection in angelic ways and in ways only your servants can provide.
You know sister, rock your "stuff". I just read an article my Dad sent to me about your experience with fame and men in Hollywood. I loved every bit of it. I'm glad you've hung in there and survived the male dominated society.

During the Reagan Administration in the 1980s the United States government rescinded its support of Article #23 (U.N. Declaration of Human Rights), which reads:
# 1) Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.
# (2) Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.
# (3) Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.
# (4) Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests.
Considering that organized labor, along with most working people, have lost ground in the United States since the 1980s, with weakened bargaining power, lower pay, fewer benefits, and pensions eliminated, while workers have increased wealth for the owners of corporations, should the United States reconsider its support of this article and the rights of workers? Perhaps there are other recommendations you would make for our official federal policies and for those of corporations. Have the U.S. government and U.S. corporations abnegated their responsibilities to workers, who produce the wealth of America?

Great for school lunches
Posted by eathealthy on Jul 02, 2013
These are perfect for school lunches and snacks. The raisins are super soft and I love that they are organic! It is a little pricey though for only 6 boxes. I wish you could buy more boxes at once. Will try the bulk pack next to refill these little boxes. If you liked my review, click on eathealthy in blue above to read my reviews about other products I have tried from iherb.

These are absolutely delicious soft and sweet. Sometimes one finds raisins that are hard, dry and shrivelled up. These raisins in these little boxes are soft, sweet and so fresh, really delicious. I would definitely buy them again. Sprinkle over salads or even better give the box instead of candies to your kids to eat. Use some Psychology here and give the whole box to them as candy. The kids will love walking around and nibbling on the raisins. A healthier alternative with lots of natural sweetness.

Video:Plan a Home Fire Drillwith Kathy Moore
Do your children know how to get out of the house in the event of a fire? The best way to prepare your kids for a potential home fire is to have practice fire drills.See Transcript
Transcript:Plan a Home Fire DrillHi, I am Kathy Moore for About.com Parenting. Do your children know how to get out of the house in the event of a fire? The best way to prepare your kids for a potential home fire is to have fire drills at your home. This program will offer ideas on how to make fire drills fun for everyone.
Create a Fire Drill PlanFirst, make a plan for the family to meet at a special place outside of the home. This could be in front of a swing set, at the corner of the street or even by the mailbox. Periodically ask your kids to tell them where the family meeting place is to ensure they know and understand.
Test Smoke DetectorsThen, test your smoke detector so the kids know what it sounds like. Every floor of your home should have a working smoke detector.
Fire Drill Meeting PlacesOnce the kids have heard the sound, practice going out to your special meeting place. Remember to tell them that once they are outside at this place, they should never go back into the house to get something, like a toy, a pet or even a coat. Once you are out, stay out.
Fire Drill Role-playHave your child role-play being awakened by the smoke detector. Show them how to roll out of bed and crawl to the door. Then, if the door is closed, teach them to feel the door using the BACK of their hand. If the door is hot, they should go out the window. If the door is not hot, they should go through the door, but stay low to the ground.
Fire Drill ExitsTeach your kids to identify two ways to exit every room. Make a game of this and have your child name the two options. You can play this game at anytime throughout the day, not just during a practice fire drill.
Stop, Drop, and RollDuring the fire drill, it is also a good idea to instruct your children about what they should do if their clothes catch fire. Do not run. Stop, drop and roll. Have your kids practice rolling like logs on the ground.
Reporting a FireIt is also good to teach your child how to report a fire. Explain that they should go to a neighbor's house or use a cell phone, not the phone inside the house. They will need to know their address and phone number to do this.
Practicing home fire drills throughout the year will keep your family prepared for a fire. Thanks for watching. To learn more, visit us on the Web at Parenting.About.com.

In environmental monitoring applications, having multiple cameras focus on common scenery increases robustness of the system. To save energy based on user demand, successive refinement image coding is important, as it allows us to progressively request better image quality. By exploiting the broadcast nature and correlation between multiview images, we investigate a two-camera setup and propose a novel two-encoder successive refinement scheme which imitates a ping-pong game. For the bivariate Gaussian case, we prove that this scheme is successively refinable on the theoretical rate-distortion limit of distributed coding (Wagner surface) under arbitrary settings. For stereo-view images, we develop a practical successive refinement coding algorithm using the same idea. The simulation results show that this scheme operates close to the distributed coding bound.

With a few exceptions scattered throughout the past hundred years or so of feature filmmaking, the French never really embraced the horror film. Instead, drawing from a literary tradition capped by the writing of Gaston Leroux and Victor Hugo, the French response to what we in the United States (and Britain, and Italy, and Japan, and…well, most of the world) define as horror was cinema fantastique. Certainly it had elements of horror, sometimes more overt than others, but more traditionally recognizable characteristics of horror were mixed into a dreamy mist that also included romance, science fiction, mystery, and melodrama all spun with a disregard for logical narrative structure and progression in favor of a dreamlike (or nightmare) quality. It did not matter if one scene connected to the next, or if there was a rational explanation for a particular image or action. That was not the point. The language of cinema is vast, figured directors working within this nebulous genre of cinema fantastique, and the idea that film has to conform to a particular structure or style or storytelling — or that it need tell any story at all — is tragically limiting. Of the many films that make up the body of cinema fantastique, few have developed an enduring reputation, good and bad, quite like Georges Franju's Les yeux sans visage, aka Eyes without a Face.

Colossus and the Amazon Queen
People unfamiliar with genre films sometimes have this weird idea that the movies all carry themselves with an air of complete seriousness, that a particular type of film can't possibly be aware of its own cliches and pitfalls until some smarmy mainstream director steps in and makes a spoof. That spy movies, even James Bond, can't be aware of their own absurdity. Or that horror has never noticed its own cliches. The fact of the matter is that genre films are far more aware of their own short-comings and trappings than most mainstream films. For better or for worse, genre films — science fiction, horror, sexploitation, action, and so forth – have been self-referential and satirizing themselves since the early days. The Italian sword and sandal films that were so popular during the first half of the 1960s were no exception.
Gentlemen's Blog to Midnite Cinema: Argoman
I am back over on the Gentlemen's Blog to Midnite Cinema, the companion blot for my favorite film podcast, writing about Incredible Paris Incident aka Fantastic Argoman aka half a dozen other titles, as is the way for these kinds of movies. Hovercrafts, psychic powers, robots, and men in banana yellow bodystockings will abound.
Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka
The Devil used to have a lot more to do on Christmas Eve than he does these days, having been supplanted more or less in the Christmas time evil business by retail store owners and Black Friday stampedes. There was a time, however, when Ol' Scratch regarded the night before Christmas as prime soul-stealing time, what with so many panicked, distressed, depressed, or otherwise vulnerable humans ripe for temptation. Depending on whose folklore upon which we rely, Satan's midwinter rascalry was combatted by a variety of traditional characters. In Mexico, since time immemorial, they have told the tale of how Pitch the Devil was thwarted in his efforts to corrupt the young and innocent by Santa Claus, who lives on the moon and employed the assistance of his most trusted friend, Merlin the Magician. In The Ukraine, which these days is more concerned with contesting the antics of Vladimir the Bare-Chested Yuletide Goblin, the corrupting efforts of the more unsaintly of the famous Nicks had to be foiled by a hearty peasant in a big furry cap.
League of Gentlemen
"Demobilized officer, finding peace unbearably tedious, would welcome any excitement. Legitimate, if possible, but crime of humorous description, no objection." — Bulldog Drummond, 1929
Basil Dearden's 1960 caper film League of Gentlemen is a little bit like if, instead of ending up solving crimes for a living, Bulldog Drummond ended up committing them; as if his humorous classified ad was answered by a fellow demobilized officer putting together a crew for a heist. Surely the overly complicated ladder theft that results would appeal to Drummond's sense of humor. Unlike the old Bulldog Drummond movies however, beneath the breezy, dryly comical veneer of League of Gentlemen is the sort of political and social unrest that characterized much of Dearden's work in the late 1950s and into the 1960s. The man was a master at making mainstream, commercial films that packed powerful, at times very pro-counter culture messages.
Face of Eve
If jungle adventure movies have taught us anything, it's that modern man, with all his so-called "refinement" and "civilization", is the most dangerous animal of all. Whatever perils the jungle may hold, it is those city folk — greedy, thoughtless, and cruel — who step within its borders who pose the greatest threat. Even though those city folk ultimately fall prey to quicksand, cannibals, and hungry wild animals. Hey, the jungle was just defending itself.
Creature of Destruction
"There is no monster in the world so treacherous as man."
So we are reminded at the beginning of Larry Buchanan's Creature of Destruction and, just in case we forgot, at the end of the film as well. I like a film with a message, but the message is considerably less interesting if the film has to print it out for you. But hey – at least the guy was trying, which is more than can be said for most films. And in the end, this film is made in the tradition of sci-fi and horror films of days gone by, when such films had messages and delivered them with all the subtleties of a stoic military general surveying some scene of mass carnage and reflecting on the follies of man. Creature of Destruction is Buchanan's homage by way of remake. In this case, it's a remake of 1956's The She-Creature, a movie that never exactly called with deafening thunder to be remade.
Mad Science and Martian Maidens
Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy was Russia's less internationally known Tolstoy. While the one was writing thousand-page tomes about sad people losing things (pretty sure that's the plot of most Leo Tolstoy books) that would be forced upon generation after generation, the other Tolstoy was writing slick science fiction adventures like Aelita (1923, adapted into a movie a year later), Engineer Garin (1924), and Count Cagliostro, which American high school students did not get to read, since there was no time left after plodding through Anna Karenina — in which absolutely no one travels to Mars, builds a death ray, or practices alchemy. To be fair to Leo Tolstoy though, it's been twenty-six years since I read Anna Karenina, and all I really remember is a chapter where two rivals for the love of the title character retire to a nearby barn to try and outdo one another in feats of gymnastic prowess, and I may even be getting that wrong. In fact, I think much of what I remember of Anna Karenina is actually Great Expectations. I am, however, quite certain there was no death ray.
Cultural Gutter: The Gentleman Adventurer
I have a new Frolic Afield up on The Cultural Gutter: The Gentleman Adventurer takes a look at the BBC series Adam Adamant Lives! A swashbuckling Edwardian gentleman, quick with his cane-sword or a witty retort, is frozen in time and revived in swingin' sixties London, where accompanied by his go-go girl sidekick, he immediately resumes his life of adventure and crime-fighting. Yes, they truly did pull an entire plot right out of my mental wish list.
Oh, What a Lovely War
On August 4, 1914, Germany declared war on and subsequently invaded Belgium, a declared neutral in the escalating conflict between France, Russia, and the allied countries of German and Austria-Hungary. Europe at the time had been spoiling for a war, and the Byzantine tangle of pacts, treaties, and agreements ensured that it was only a question of when, not if, the entire continent would find an excuse to kit up and march off to battle. That excuse came in June of 1914, when Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by Serbian radicals. And so the dominoes fell. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Serbia was allied with Russia, who had no choice but to declare war on Austria-Hungary. Germany was allied with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and so declared war on Russia. France, which had treaties with Russia, thought about staying neutral in the matter, but that became a moot point when Germany declared war on them, launching an offensive that bulldozed its way through Belgium en route to France and brought the United Kingdom into the war as a result of a pact Britain had with Belgium.

Re: Module/brain with more audio outputs?
I'd like to offer some ideas, but I am confused by what you are looking to do. Are you recording the audio sounds from sound modules or the midi signals? If you are using an all electric setup, then you should be able to record any number of midi tracks and then you will have each 'drum' is on it's own track, and you have a lot of options (kits) for playback. If you are recording the sound from a sound module, and want to map each 'drum' sound to an audio sound output, then i understand the concept, but don't really know why you would want that. I have seen recording with 16+/- 'live' recorded midi tracks as well as recordings with numerous live acoustic drum tracks. Remember, in the final mixdown, the engineer will play back the midi tracks to a sound module (or audio file channel tracks) to a stereo (or surround) recording.

WESTBOROUGH, Mass. — The eight protesters arrested Monday following a sit-in at the TransCanada office in Westborough will be arraigned Wednesday, not Tuesday as initially indicated.
Westborough District Court officials said the the court schedule dictated a Wednesday arraignment.
Scott Schaeffer-Duffy of Worcester, who protested Tuesday outside the courthouse, said he is not affiliated with the protesters, but supports their cause. He threw together a sign and went to the courthouse to show his support after seeing the news about the arrests Tuesday.
"I'm with them 100 percent, and I hope that they ask for a jury trial in Worcester, because this is a jury issue," he said, noting that he and his wife had found themselves in similar situations after protesting nuclear weapons work in Westborough in the 1980s.
After hearing the news that the arraignment was scheduled for Wednesday, he indicated he would return to continue his support. The eight protesters are all current students or graduates at several New England colleges.
The protesters, who object to TransCanada's proposed pipeline to Nebraska, conducted their act of "civil disobedience" by chaining themselves by the waists and feet and super-gluing their hands together in the lobby of TransCanada's Northeast headquarters. Westborough Police, Fire Department and a local locksmith were able to extricate them from the building after three hours.
The protesters were charged with disorderly person, disturbing the peace and trespassing.

The Department of Business Innovation and Skills has announced its financial allocations for 2015/16, which are broadly in line with the previous spending review announcement of a flat cash settlement for the science budget.
In response Paul Nurse, President of the Royal Society has said:
"The coalition government has consistently understood the value of investing in science and the long term benefits that brings, including to the economy. There have been rumours of cuts relating to problems with his Department's budget, so we are very pleased that Vince Cable has managed to find a way to maintain the science budget in support of the strong commitment to science of the Chancellor and the science minister, David Willetts.
In tough economic times we have seen relative protection for the science budget which is very welcome. However, other countries are investing more so we cannot be complacent. With signs of economic recovery it must be hoped that the Chancellor will see the opportunity to further invest in knowledge, the seed corn for sustained future growth."

A good few years ago, my wife designed a light that charged via induction charging and she said it was an extremely inefficient method of charging something. If that's still true, then it seems strange to me to waste energy in this way just because people can't be bothered to plug in a plug.

From the article, the guy turned himself in, from the sound of it, most likely because he had threats against himself. It's unlikely the police would have even heard of this if he hadn't gone to the station and said he'd done something stupid. It had the benefit (to him) of exposing the threats against himself, which also fall under the anti-troll and cyber bullying laws, so the people who'd threatened him will also be lined up for a big slap on the wrist.
If this had been randomly picked up by a police trawl, I'd have been worried.. As it stands (someone turning himself in and admitting he'd be stupid, and asking for protection), it's looking like far less.. Good tabloid fodder.

UFC "Big Announcement" = TOYS! Yipee!
White and Lesnar on CNBC Today

I don't have TV at work. Someone spill the beans.

Fucking fail. From sherdog...
Today on CNBC Dana did not make that "Big Announcement" that has been discussed over the past several days. He was on the show to announce that the UFC was coming out with a line of UFC action figures and accessories. While on the show the interviewer asked him to eliminate some of the possible rumors that have been circulating. Dana confirmed that the announcement had nothing to do with Mayweather, a TV deal, going public or WWE. If the action figures were the big announcement the CNBC interviewer would have asked questions about the big announcement. He would have asked questions like, "Why is this such a big deal for the UFC?".
Bottom line there is still an announcement to be made later this week.
For the people that are discrediting the action figure announcement, it is still quite significant. The UFC/MMA supporting demographic has been 18-34, with the action figures they will be tapping into a younger audience. This will help push MMA into the mainstream.
As far as a source is concerned, I watched the segment on CNBC.You can't make people smarter. You can expose them to information, but your responsibility stops there.

Thanks to our good friend David Jaeger Andrest, it looks like UFC President Dana White and Brock Lesnar will announce on CNBC today at 12:45 p.m. ET a new merchandising deal with toy maker JAKKS Pacific
This announcement likely isnt going to be the same as what will be announced on Thursday. That is, unless Dana is like the Steve Carrell character in the 40-Year Old Virgin and is so excited action figures that he needs a company-wide meeting to discuss

English Symposium: "Surface Symptom and the State of Critique"
Thu, February 9, 2012 • UT Austin
Surface Symptom and the State of Critique
Exemplaria: A Journal of Theory in Medieval and Renaissance Studies and UT Austin are coming together to host a symposium that will bring together 25 top-flight scholars from across the humanities to the UT campus in an effort to explore the place of critical theory at the current moment. This event will take place around the 25th anniversary after the founding of this journal devoted to theoretical approached to Medieval and Renaissance Studies. The journal was co-founded in 1987 by R. Allen Shoaf of the University of Florida and the late Julian N. Wasserman of Loyola University New Orleans.
The event will take place during the weekend from Friday the 9th or February to Sunday the 12th of February to engage in theoretical questions concerning "surface reading", textuality, "distance reading", and Google books, and the culture that surrounds each of these principles.

Same-Sex Florida Couple Files Joint Bankruptcy, May Challenge DOMA
Brandon, FL (Law Firm Newswire) June 16, 2013 - A same-sex couple's attempt to file joint bankruptcy could end up challenging the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
The couple, who reside in Florida, were legally married in Vermont. When their finances took a turn for the worse and they were unable to pay their mortgage, they made the logical choice and filed for joint bankruptcy. But they hit a roadblock because Florida does not recognize same-sex marriages even when they are formed pursuant to other states' laws.
"This is a question of whether states must recognize marriages that are legal in other states," said Brandon bankruptcy lawyer O. Reginald Osenton, who is not involved in the filing. "The Defense of Marriage Act says that the states and the federal government need only recognize the validity of opposite-sex marriages. This can lead to confusion and concern for legally married same-sex couples, particularly when they relocate to states that do not permit same-sex marriage."
Daniel Maltbie, 57, and Garry Houston, 59, hope their joint bankruptcy petition is eventually accepted without challenge. They say they just want to put this business behind them. But if it is not, their bankruptcy attorney, Brian Zinn, says that he will probably appeal. The matter could then move up through the court system, possibly culminating in an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Defense of Marriage Act has already been challenged numerous times in federal court. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on its constitutionality within a month.
Maltbie and Houston, who owe about $75,000, stand to save about $1,800 if they are permitted to file a single joint bankruptcy petition as opposed to separate petitions. Both receive disability benefits, and Maltbie receives a pension.
In an interview with CNBC, Stratton Pollitzer, deputy director of Equality Florida, said seemingly small court cases can shift legal trends. He highlighted an earlier Florida case in which the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) denied a man in a same-sex marriage a new driver's license with his married name. The man prepared to take his case to court with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, but before his initial hearing, the DMV apologized and granted his request for a new license.

- Detroit Bankruptcy Represents Largest Municipal Case in U.S. History
Bankruptcy is most often used as a way for individuals and businesses to either discharge debts or reorganize them into a more manageable payment plan. But governments, particularly cities and counties, can declare bankruptcy as well for the same reason: unmanageable levels of debt. Municipal bankruptcies are fairly rare. They have happened at the rate […]

Different kinds of snakes have different kinds of eyes. Some snakes may have brown eyes, yellow eyes, or even red. Some snakes also have green eyes, like green snakes and garden snakes. If you are a person who likes to observe and look at snakes, you'll know that they sometimes change their eye color.

Tyler Byrne took second individually, leading the men's team to a third-place finish.
Sept. 14, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The University of Louisville men's and women's cross country teams posted top-five finishes in their respective races at the Bluegrass Cross Country Invitational at Masterson Station Park on Saturday in Lexington.
"I'm very impressed with our progress over the last two weeks on the men's and women's sides," head coach Dale Cowper said. "Most importantly, we had a great effort and passion out on the course. The men and women represented Louisville in a manner every Cardinal fan would appreciate while in Lexington."
Stacked against a quality field, the women's team scored a runner-up finish and was short of the victory by four points. Junior Michelle Molodynia again was the Cardinals' top-scoring runner, placing fifth in the event behind a time of 17:18.52. The Canada native has been the team's top place winner in both races this season and each of the squad's six meets in 2012.
Three freshmen and one sophomore rounded out the Cardinals' five scoring runners to give the Cardinals 51 on the day. Freshmen Agnes Chepchumba took seventh, Benadate Cheruiyot placed ninth, and Adair Gennocro secured 10th, while Kelsey Cramsey crossed the finish line in 20th.
"I'm really pleased with the ladies," assistant coach Joe Walker said. "They followed race plan and almost came out with a win. It's a step in right direction. We want to continue to developing that side and stay competitive."
Redshirt junior Tyler Byrne paced the men's group and nearly recorded the individual victory, finishing second in the 8K race with a mark of 23:47.47. As a team, the Cardinals finished in third - behind No. 11 Eastern Kentucky and top-ranked Oklahoma State - while edging Kentucky by 39.
Ernest Kibet made his first appearance of the season and posted a fourth-place finish, giving the Cardinals two runners in the top five. Mattias Wolter, who also made his season debut, finished 18th.
"Tyler ran great second half of race," Walker said. "He moved through field fairly well, but was beaten by talented athlete.
"It was good to see Kibet back competing. The last time we saw him healthy was back in March, during track season."
Stacey Eden, who transferred from Kentucky to Louisville, was the Cardinals' fourth placewinner, and Japhet Kipkoech rounded out the team's 72 points with a 27th-place finish.

UPDATE: Chattanooga's matchup against Quinnipiac is scheduled for Noon Wednesday. Due to the cancellation of UTC's game against Boston on Tuesday, the Lady Mocs will take on Fordham at 2:30 p.m. following their game against the Bobcats.
CLEARWATER, Fla.-The Chattanooga Lady Mocs softball team (14-10) plays two midweek games Wednesday after wrapping up a three-day weekend at the USF Under Armour Showcase in Clearwater, Fla. Chattanooga's sixth and seventh matchups of the 2013 spring break trip come against Fordham and Quinnipiac before the team heads to Greenville, S.C. to open up Southern Conference play against Furman.
Chattanooga is coming off a 4-1 weekend at the South Florida tournament, claiming wins against Temple, Toledo, Wagner Loyola-Marymount with its only loss coming to Villanova. It's the first season the Lady Mocs have claimed four wins in a Clearwater trip since winning four-of-six in 2005 and 2007, and four-of-seven in 2004.
Over the three-day weekend, sophomore Sarah Beth Roberts (Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) hit a quiet .500 with nine hits in 18 plate appearances. The third baseman doubled twice and drove in a team-high seven runs over five games. Senior Sara Poteat (Thomaston, Ga.) was impressive at the plate, as was freshman Alyssa Taylor (Orange, Calif.). Both middle infielders scored six runs while Poteat led the two with nine hits and three stolen bases. Poteat led the team with 12 total bases and Taylor followed closely behind Roberts with six runs driven in. Taylor was nearly unstoppable against Toledo, going a career-best four-for-five with five RBI and two runs.
Chattanooga then takes on Quinnipiac for the first time in program history at Noon Wednesday. The Bobcats come into the matchup with a 2-12 record. Quinnipiac was winless at the Under Armour Showcase, falling to Boston, Temple, St. Joseph's, Central Michigan and SIU Edwardsville. Three of the three losses came in six innings or less.
Sophomore Nikki Barba is the Bobcats offensive leader with a .324 average at the plate and 11 hits on the season. Barba has hit two of Quinnipiac's six home runs and has driven in a team-best five RBI. The infielder has also hustled to swipe two bases on the season.
Hannah Lindsley has tossed both of the Bobcats' wins, earning a 2-3 record in six games pitched. The sophomore has started five games and has pitched in a team-high 30.2 innings. The pitcher's 3.88 ERA is a team-best as she has tallied wins over Illinois-Chicago and Drexel.
Live stats for both games are available on GoMocs.com and free play-by-play audio is available through MocsVision.

The Aria Entertainment Complex had been spamming me to death with Facebook ads for their new club, and having viewed their over-the-top promotional video which resembles a high-end diamond or perfume ad (or more appropriately The Simpson's Barney Gumble's epic short Pukahontas), I couldn't resist checking them out for their opening night. Before I knew it, I was on my way to discovering the club where "the influencers play", according to their promotional messaging.
I scan my bathroom sink for cologne samples I've accumulated over the years and hesitate for a second. Is this an Axe or Armani night? With a $20 cover, and drinks priced between $6 and 7$ you might think the latter, but once the club started filling up, Axe might have been more appropriate. This isn't exactly Toronto's best-dressed crowd, but it takes a lot of bodies to fill up a space this big.
Aria is four main rooms each with their own specific Las Vegas inspired theme. There's the "Vanity" room with its laminate bowling alley meets card room vibe accented by decorative bushes and wicker balls hanging from the ceiling. It feels like the interior designer (if there even was one) stumbled upon a Bed, Bath And Beyond warehouse sale.
The main "Aria" room is pretty run of the mill for the Club District with elevated VIP quarters in each corner, bar stations and scantily clad go-go dancers. An interesting touch were bowls of candy at the bar and an unattended drum kit by the DJ booth.
Following an unmarked stairway leads to the "Haze" room, whose logo seems like a cross between the classy purple of Alizé and the exotic orient of Mandarin restaurant. The décor is a bit more interesting here, with framed pictures of porn stars in the buff and a Lucite cage / grotto lounge for bottle service tables.
The top floor is the rooftop Pure lounge, possibly Aria's one redeeming quality, with a mechanical SkyDome styled roof that opens in the summer. I really did feel like I was in a laid back Costa Rican bar, and despite dinky non-smoking signs, the ladies were puffing away. I guess when you're a hot "influencer", you can do whatever you please.
The layout is a bit of a nightmare with a series of drafty unfinished connecting corridors and dodgy industrial staircases that would clearly be a hazard to anyone wearing the pointy shoes that the district is so known for. If this were an underground warehouse rave then it would be perfectly acceptable, but I don't think that's the crowd the owners are targeting. It's like the architect was a child with a lego model of the interior, smushing pieces together to force them to fit. It's hard to believe Toronto's building safety people even passed this place.
And then there's the institutional row of unisex washrooms I encountered on the rooftop Pure patio which may seem "progressive" and "modern" for Toronto but with the crowd they are bringing in seems like more of an invitation for some rough prison sex more than anything.
With its cheap vinyl couches, potentially disastrous bottle necking in the sprawling stairways and off-kilter layouts Aria seems more like a death trap waiting to happen than a forward thinking entertainment complex. But if you're looking for a laid back night out people watching in the district where you won't have to worry much about being underdressed (required clown shoes aside) then this could be the place you've been waiting for.

"but with the crowd they are bringing in seems like more of an invitation for some rough prison sex more than anything."
What is "prison sex"? Do you mean rape? If you mean rape, just say rape. Rape that happens in prisons isn't some special genre of "rough sex". It's just rape. And I'm all for being cute and amusing, but it's weird and a little icky to try to be cute and amusing about rape.
Also, just want to point out that an unlocked door with a female symbol hanging on it is not, in fact, a magical rape deterrent if a guy is so inclined. You can be raped just as easily in a single-sex bathroom. What probably helps is having a washroom attendant.
Yea, cause THATs what he meant. Way to overreact.
Raped much?
I scanned the photos before reading the article so I had to laugh about the comments on attire. I couldn't believe that's what's passing for club wear now.
Jesse, why would you bother going if you already knew that you were going to bash it?
It's not my scene and clearly not my scene, but that's why I wouldn't go. Let alone go to make fun of people's style and bash the designers and owners.
Were you sad that they had no craft beers on tap. You're the reason people outside the city dislike people in the city.
Awesome journalism.
have you been raped before? don't try to normalize a serious situation.
rape is not a joke
They call 'em chavs in Britain. Same thing, different name, different continent.
I have no issue with clubs; I do enjoy them now and then, but I thought the whole super-club thing died out some time ago?
yes, I think what he meant was that you will get raped if you go to this club. Raped of your mind, body, soul, and wallet.

I went to Aria nightclub and all I got was a lousy t-shirt and an STI from being RAPED!
By all the comments, it sounds like this place should be renamed Steubenville.
I agree with Chino - Jesse this is obviously not your scene and I'm wondering what made you want to go? The spam Emails? the hundreds of Facebook invites? That "barney" promo video you described? with all of these factors you still went to this club, what did you expect when you walked in?
Also curious, does negative journalism get you guys paid more? seems when i read any reviews that you post its all negative.
Awesome journalism - If you didn't know he was being sarcastic.
Agreed. Rape jokes aren't cool.
When your boss tells you to do something, you do it. End of story.
so your boss told you to write a negative review?
two prisoners in a loving relationship are allowed to have sex too. even rough sex.
i find your attitude that all prison sex is rape to be ill-informed and outrageous.
stop the discrimination!
This comment has been brought to you by the Washroom Attendants' Union. We do a lot more than just hand out towels and make you feel awkward!
This is the funniest and most entertaining review I've ever read. It was like my thoughts exactly walking through Circa the first time how many years ago. Thanks for the honest review and for the good laugh I got reading. I look forward to avoiding it like everything else in that general area of downtown. I'm sure many underaged 905ers will find it to be mecca. RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE.
Nope, I was told to review the club and there was no possible way I'd be compromising my integrity by sugar coating. To be honest, I think I was already being too kind.
And thanks McRibsy for sticking up for manloving convicts,. I said prison sex because the washrooms looked like a god damn prison with stall doors swinging in the wind. They didn't even bother installing new ones! If the words prisons and sex bring rape to mind, then maybe you should stop watching R rated movies and stick to good clean family Mormon fun. Seriously, it's not worth polluting your minds with that junk. Check out https://www.clearplay.com for filtered content the whole family can enjoy!
Sounds like some sensitive 905-ers are sensitive because their weekend playpen, er, playground didn't get a 5 Star review. The club scene isn't exactly high class no matter how much some people want to wish it so. The review wasn't surprising at all.
my boss gives me a job to do that I don't like, so I'll do it with anger and spite.
assessing something objectively does not mean compromising your integrity.
anyway, i'm sure this club sucks. lol.
LMAO... I'm IN Vegas right now for CES and NMX.... I did a double-take when I saw this headline. Oh Toronto.... why do you mimic other places? Just be your friggin self.
I went to the grand opening Saturday night for a birthday party. Clubbing is my scene and I found this place terrible. It was disorganized, lacked proper security, horrible service, it was poorly ventilated (as the article mentions), the music sucked on all four floors and a fire alarm went off the majority of the night.
Fine I agree with you -if your boss tells you to do something, you do it...but the influence blogto has on people is enormous and I just felt you already had a negative vibe going in the place ...
so I have an IDEA for your boss - go to his office tomorrow and suggest this...before you write a review about a club/restaurant or lounge why don't you write about yourself and what you like, and what you don't like tell the reader about your interests, and maybe hobbies (totally up to you)so the reader can have a better understanding about you and this way they can judge your personality and if this is something they could connect too.
Example - If your a vegan, and your boss tells you to go to a steakhouse and write a review, what do you think your review will be? a positive one or a negative one?
Hell I never even went into this place ..just thought of putting my 2 sense.. I just hate bullies
What do the acronyms CES, NMX, and LMAO mean? Are we supposed to know?
Patrick, I'm the manager of this place and I have to say, thanks for being the best buddy a guy could ever have in bartending. I think you're the Patrick I hired for the Haze room but to tell you the truth brah the coke is still wearing off from last nights. I'm happy that you go with my orders to charge so much for that single ounce of vodka you put in a glass with some tepid club soda just like I asked. Don't let anyone give me bad reviews guys ok? Make sure everyone else gets this memo, we gotta take BlogTO down for panning us. It's not easy to be a wannabe startup in this big city and we gotta do what we gotta do to get the bottleservice guys and gals coming in every night.
Remember we're doing wet t-shirt nights every Thursday, bring your sleazy girlfriends and we'll spray them with a hose. They better have rockin' chest beefers though, no grenades or you gotta go home. We don't have any beer but that's because our bar is more classier than that and we have specials on Sex on the Beach, Tequila, and our special drink called the Ariatini, which is some lychee juice, orange juice, angostura bitters, and barely any vodka.
^- look I'm totally trolling you now, sarcastic get it? But honestly, without bad reviews on bad bars, everything would degrade into this kind of awful, pathetic, cash grab of an opportunist dive. Please stop trying to cover your ass if you do work there and just take a hint. Either change your business model or GTFO.
It is hard not to laugh during their promo. Its so cheesy and not sexy. Trying way too hard. 20$ just to get in, I chose the wrong career. : )
So true. So CHAVS are defined as: 19-25 year old suburban "influencers" in TO? LMFAO. A CHAV by any other name still stinks, just sayin'
okay, I've seen the word 'chav' twice now, and I'm not sure if it really translates properly here (because we don't have Council Houses, per say). It would be like calling people 'welfare', which isn't really nice, innit?
fuck off you ponce
We be talkin' sad and sorry style, not wallet size, man. CHAV wannabees hogging the scene, see? Febreez could help here.
I hadn't thought of that. Of course coke isn't conducive to rape though. Unless I've been snorting the wrong powder all this time.
If chav means council housed and violent, maybe we've got condo housed and vapid? Sounds like the crowd there is just very 905.
All the words we used to use for these people were racist, and there isn't much now that would get by the PC police. The discomfort that downtowners feel around 905'ers is just about boring middle-class people being anxious around less-white and slightly lower-middle-class people.
To the rest of us you are just the queuers, because you always seem to be standing in lines.
"the influence blogto has on people is enormous"
LOL are you kidding me? Seriously? This site has about as much influence as Vanilla Ice.
I haven't been to this place nor do I work at this place..and I wasn't defending this club I was simply identifying the fact that Jesse - the guy who wrote this review already had a negative vibe going into it...if you're going to write a review just be open minded before your next project - that's all i wanted to preach, no more ..next.
So let's take a look at the situation. This guy Jesse doesn't know how to enjoy himself at a real club. Time to learn:
1. Roll deep with your crew. Drive down with a couple bros and some chicks who know how to party. You don't just show up and expect to be entertained, you've got to bring the fun.
2. Make sure you look good. This means pumping, tanning and laundry.
3. Get a bottle. This isn't the 90s. You can't just order bar rails like a scrub, you gotta put out for a bottle or your not getting the experience intended from a place like this. If you aren't willing to drop $300 at a club you might as well get hosed on 40s in an alley at mosh or some sh**.
4. Learn what good music is. There's a reason these beats are popular. If you don't get it your loss.
5. Those washrooms are like that for a reason. I get it if your not into that stuff... but deal with it that's what makes these parties so effin dope.
6. Get cool with the people running the joint. Wait, blew that one.
LMFAO all the way thru this one party people.
Tonyul and rape comments: So, first of all, a joke about prison sex does NOT necessarily have anything to do with rape. Perhaps your immediate association of "rough prison sex" with rape betrays your stereotypes about those unfortunate enough to be locked inside prison cells.
Patrick et al: Chill! Do you really think this is that bad a review?? I think he was being pretty balanced lol. The odd (incredibly witty and ironic) criticisms are clearly playful chirps more than they are seriously scathing criticisms. This is what people in the so-called 416 call "getting jokes" lol. With all the coverage on this post this is inevitably nothing but good news for this club so i dont get what the problem is.
Situation TO: "Make sure you look good. This means pumping, tanning and laundry." bahahahah yes!!!
I am going to go out on a biit of a limb here and say that this was a thoughtful & incredibly well written review. If people are not having a sense of humour about things when reading Jesse's article than they've clearly missed the point entirely.
Not saying it's bad by any stretch. To say that its "influence" is enormous is pretty funny though. It's not a mind-controlling device, and definitely isn't read by everyone.
Hay any promotion is good promotion & even if this was a bad review it is still huge promotion for Aria Complex
2nd This Saturday is gonna be NUTS !!! ... DAYGLOW "The Devil From Acapulco" will be live for the 1st time. DayGlow has performed in the #1 venues in Mexico, Las Vegas, Miami, and worldwide. ... For Bottle Service & Guest-List contact me @ 647 898 1691, Twitter: @DJJonniM
3rd! Rape is not a thing to joke around about.
4th! Im a club promoter & DJ. I saw the review Tuesday & was laughing hard because I had a blast (great time) & Aria is the #1 best dressed crowed in the city, drinks are amazing + im a beer fan so u can enjoy both beer & mixed drinks.
Jonni Martinez: I LOVE USING CAPS IN MY COMMENTS! LOL! Seriously. If you even glance at this website from time to time you would know that the audience is not the jersey shore club going type. If you didn't laugh when you read the review, then I'm sorry to inform you that the joke is about you (or specifically, your type).
LOL .... i never mentioned anything about Jersey Shore so maybe you should get your head out of your a** & read properly
and thanks for the free mention ... you just made me an easy $200 tonight on bottles alone :)
firstly, let me say that rape is not something to joke about, but "rough prison sex" is not rape.
i worked in the prisons for over six years (Kingston Pen), and the instances of rape as you see on tv and in movies, they don't happen. sure, you'll get the odd instance, just as you see in the free community, which is terrible and wrong and not to be joked about, but the fact of the matter is that, if there's sex going on in the prisons, it's consensual.
and most guys don't go in there and turn to man-on-man action. conjugal visits are easily obtained nowadays.
so i think that jesse's comment is not meant to mean "rape", but, instead, wild, somewhat public sex between two consenting hot'n'bothered people.
hahah you're funny, especially if this is a serious post.
this isn't the 90's!!!
glad that i was clubbing in the 90's because the stuff that you guys have to deal with today is crazy!
back in the 90's, we could get into a club for free with passes handed out at other clubs, we could drink tap water for free and we could actually sit down without having to reserve a seat, and we could wear jeans...and running shoes!
ah, it was a better time which, i think, made people enjoy going to clubs to have fun as opposed to the pressure now - to dress up, to buy bottles, to spend crazy dough.
i wonder how it'll be 10 years from now?
Went there on Friday... only got one thing to say... WORST CLUB I'VE EVER BEEN TO IN MY LIFE! I'm not going back there if somebody PAYS me!
I'm very interested to see how long they last. I give them 2 months TOPS.
This place is simply disgusting, dirty and so low class. Please avoid this place the bouncers threat people like animals for no valid reason. I will never go back and please Avoid this place its a waist of space!!
