Iowa defensive backs Desmond King, left, and John Lowdermilk, right, try to break up a pass intended for Ohio State wide receiver Evan Spencer during the second quarter on Saturday. / Jay LaPrete/AP
The Buckeyes moved the ball well when they had it. Ohio State only had the ball for one series (and one play) in the first quarter, and the Hawkeyes dominated time of possession in the first half. Ohio State flipped the script in the second half, and finished with more than an eight-minute edge in time of possession. The Buckeyes shortest scoring drive was 64 yards, and they finished with about 500 yards of total offense.
Carlos Hyde (149 yards rushing) became the first player to score on the ground against Iowa this season, but who didnt see that coming after his performance at Northwestern? Hydes second TD had highlight reel written all over it. Knocked off-balance, he retreated like a wobbly boxer before regaining his balance and diving into the end zone on a 19-yard score. We saw glimpses of the old Braxton Miller on broken-field runs and finished with 102 yards on 18 carries. He also had another fumble while trying to run out the clock, but the Buckeyes recovered.
The Iowa safety got sucked up on play-action, resulting in Corey Browns 58-yard TD catch on blown coverage. On a ill-fated, fourth-and-10 gamble from Iowas 29-yard line, Brown was flagged for an illegal block on Millers scramble to the 10. There were offsetting penalties, but then Miller threw to Evan Spencer in the end zone against double coverage for an incompletion. It was one of the few bad passes Miller threw Saturday.
It was a bad day for a unit that was starting to shape up as a team strength. The Buckeyes applied pressure up front when they needed it in the fourth quarter, but Hawkeyes QB Jake Rudock wasnt sacked during a 245-yard passing day. And the Hawkeyes, ranked second in the Big Ten in third-down conversion percentage, were 7-of-9 at halftime before the wheels started to come off. The Buckeyes should have been able to disrupt a first-year starter like Rudock more than they did.
With two weeks to prepare for the Buckeyes, it was obvious Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz and his staff put together a game plan to target Ohio States backers. Tight ends Jake Duzey and CJ Fiedorowicz came in with 15 receptions between them. They had eight in the first half alone, including five on a TD drive to open the game. Iowa put together scoring drives of 12, 10 and 15 plays.
This is quickly becoming a forgettable season for cornerback Bradley Roby. Hes been nothing close to a shutdown corner since coming off suspension, and Saturday he got kicked out of the game in the first quarter because of the targeting rule. And he wasnt playing well before he left. Struggling replacement, Armani Reeves, picked up where he left off as a pinch-hit starter for Roby to begin the season. Its bad enough getting beat on an 85-yard TD pass to a tight end, but how does a tight end outrun a cornerback? Tyvis Powell came up with a huge interception late in the game after Doran Grant failed to snag a potential pick-6.
Drew Basil has converted all seven of his field goal attempts this season, but it isnt the two he made that was big news it was the one he didnt get to attempt when coach Urban Meyers gamble on fourth-and-10 backfired. Im way beyond feeling sorry for the kid for not getting more chances. Kick the field goal there, cut the deficit to 17-13, and take some momentum into halftime. Cameron Johnston never had to punt; hope his family wasnt visiting from Australia.
Not sure what the defensive staff was doing during the bye week but, judging by the way the Buckeyes started and finished the game, the staff did its best work between the halves. It was nice to see Dontre Wilson worked into the offensive attack more, even if it was as a decoy. I didnt like the fourth-and-10 gamble. Maybe Meyer thinks he needs to be bold to grab attention of the pollsters (or his team).

Settings Accessible via console/script
Not to be used in settings_dedicated.cfg or similar config file.
Some may work there, use with caution.
The ability to spawn all different types of zones via the command line or a script.
See the SPAWN_ZONE page for details.
RENAME_ENABLED <1> [<player>]
set (the default value and all players flags) or a specific player flag. default value is 1.
RENAME_PLAYER <player> <newname>
to rename the player from script
FORCE_SPECTATING <player>
force a player to spectator mode immediately. means the player is also killed if he's in the game
LOGIN_REQUIRED <1> [<player>]
set (the default value and all players flags) or a specific player flag . default value is 0.
ALLOW_PLAYER_TO_JOIN player_name 1|0
set the player flag to allow him join the game
RENAME_PLAYER_ENABLED playername 1|0
=set the flag for the selected player
=Special Settings for Influencing Zones
SET_ZONE_POSITION zone_name <x> <y>
Allow you to set a new position for a zone, relative to its current position.eg:
spawn_zone n group1 target 100 100 10 spawn_zone n group1 target 100 200 10 spawn_zone n group1 target 100 300 10 set_zone_position group1 50 0 50 50 0 50 0 0
will make the 3 zones describe a square.
The speed is fixed by the first move : it will be done in 1s. So if you try
set_zone_position zoneA 100 0 100 100 0 100 0 0 and set_zone_position zoneA 50 0 100 0 100 100 0 100 0 0
the 2 cases discribe the same square but the 2nd one will be 2 times slower
this is a route using spawn_zone functionnality so :
set_zone_position zoneA 100 100
will move the zone to 100,100 then back to it original location.
To stop it, I've made the route to stop if 2 points next to each other are identical. so:
set_zone_position zoneA 100 100 100 100
will stop the zone at the desired location(100,100).
COLLAPSE_ZONE <zone>
kill the specified zone or group of zones.
SET_ZONE_RADIUS <zone> <radius> <growth_rate>
Change the radius and growth rate of zone or group of zones.
Universal Settings available
default is false
set it to 1 and the server stop at the end of the round and wait for the script to turn this setting back to 0 ...
Make sure you have it under control by your script, or it will render your server unusable.
it can be useful in many cases : - map rotation/mode rotation at the end so we know if round was win or draw - preparing the next map for race script so the script is not impacting the game (it use to be the case for race to winzone on marathon) - updating the ladder - sending messages to users
CYCLE_SPEED_MAX <int>
Default 100000. Unlike CYCLE_SPEED_MIN, which is "Minimal speed of your cycle, measured relative to CYCLE_SPEED". This is an int which is the actual maximum speed of your cycle. Things get ugly if you set CYCLE_SPEED_MAX < CYCLE_SPEED, but then they would.
set the default value for player joining the server
to set the default flag for player joining the server. if 0, players can't rename ...
set the default value + all players flags
Special Settings for Target Zone
TARGET_LIFETIME <int>
default: -1. -1 means no limit. A positive value means the zone will collapse alone after n sec even if no one conquers it.
TARGET_SURVIVE_TIME <int>
default: 10. value <=0 means no limit. a positive value means the zone will remains n sec before collapsing after the first player enter the zone.
TARGET_INITIAL_SCORE <int>
default: 10. means the first player will win 10 pts.
TARGET_SCORE_DEPLETE <int>
default: 2. means the score for next player will be decrease by 2. second player will get 8 pts, 3rd 6 pts ...
TARGET_DECLARE_WINNER <bool>
default: 1. means the last target conquest declare winner (first player entering the last target zone is the winner) So if you want infinite zone, just to catch the enter/left message, just set them to -1, -1, 0, 0, 0 ... and here it is, you have a switch in your map !

Roadrunner & Artist News
Catching Up With Nickelback
Posted on February 12, 2008MUSIC FOR YOUR EYES AND EARS Be sure to check out the brand new Nickelback video for 'Never Again'! You can view it in the VIDEO section. All footage comes from the upcoming Nickelback 'Live At Home' DVD release. Not only that, you can stream Never Again too.
TURN ON, TUNE IN, TURN UP Nickelback's Too Bad has been added to the Capital Radio Hitlist! Not only that but Radio 1 have added the song to their 'B' playlist! As for TV, you can now request Too Bad on Kerrang! TV, The Box, Smash Hits, and Q TV - selection # 264! Not only that, 'Too Bad' is 'B' listed on MTV & MTV2.
Did You Know? Chad Kroeger is officially the first artist ever to have four tracks in the top 10 on the US heritage rock radio audience chart simultaneously. The four songs are as follows: Nickelback's "Never Again" (#9), "Too Bad" (#6) and "How You Remind Me" (#7), along with Chad's "Hero" (#3). Sham. For those of you who are unaware, 'heritage rock' is basically what one would call a 'classic rock' station...you know, Boston, Cream, Led Zep...and now, Nickelback. Classic rock in current times. Classic.
Just 2 days ago we received this email from our new friend Mimi who checks out this site. Mimi's also a Nickelback fan and we thought we'd share her email with you fellow 'Backers... "Hey RR, You showed an e-mail from two other girls named Cat and Claire on the Nickelback page. They were from West Sussex and they were saying how much they loved Nickelback. Well, me and my mates love Nickelback too (I love 'em the most), but I say Cat and Claire can have Ryan any day, because Chad's my guy! Loving the voice. No really, I love them all. Anyway, I'm travelling almost 200 miles to see Nickelback at a festival in a week, and as it is the first time I will have seen them play live I'm dead excited! I don't expect to get anywhere near the stage, but at least I will have known I was "that" close to them! MIMI" Thanks for writing in Mimi, nice to hear from ya... have a safe trip and enjoy the show!
NICKELBACK IN YOUR HOME: Nickelback are releasing their first DVD, titled 'Live At Home' on October 28th. Fear not those of you without a DVD player, for 'Live At Home' will also be released on VHS. The live footage was recorded January 25th at the Skyreach Centre show in Edmonton, Canada. Random fact: Did you know that Chad met his girlfriend at that show? He spotted her out in the crowd. Obscure random fact: Did you know that afore mentioned gal used to cut his grandmother's hair? We told you it was random and obscure. The DVD is classified with a '15' rating.
NUMBER ONE: Random Fact - Nickelback's "Too Bad" video DEBUTED at #1 on the U.S. CVC Chart. What the hell is CVC? Good question. It's actually the U.S. video charts - the only such monitor out there, tracking video play from most all video shows. This IS a big deal. Congrats to all involved on the "Too Bad" video. Speaking of Too Bad, come August 26th the single is out. And it will be Single Of The Week in Woolworths and Asda!
BAD PHOTOS? Have you checked out our link below to watch the new video for 'Too Bad' yet? We've just added up some photo stills from the video shoot for your viewing pleasure. Brand new band & individual close-up shots galore!
WHO IS THAT HOTTIE? Random Fact - back when the "How You Remind Me" video first came out, we received a load of emails from guys asking the name of the chick in the video. Why? Perhaps name association for erotic fantasy? Hmmm? Well, this time around, with the "Too Bad" video, we are now getting emails from gals asking what the name of the bloke in the video is. It's true. Why? You draw your own conclusion. Ladies, for the record, his name is Zion Lee.
TOO BAD VIDEO: Remember we wrote the new video for 'Too Bad' was done? It's true. So true in fact, that if you click into the VIDEO section you can see the whole video in real audio. You can play it as much as you like. Enjoy...
Did you know that How You Remind Me has been played over 33,000, yes that's THOUSAND times on UK radio now? Did you know that HYRM is also the longest running record in the UK top 75 since it was released? A grand total of 20 weeks!

Thought we'd share with you an email we received recently... thanks for writing in Susan - all the best at university! We've heard stories about university fresher weeks.... "Dear RR, Just thought I'd send this e-mail to share my thoughts on Nickelback. I am 29yrs old (female) and went back to college last year. It was a tough year but my Nickelback CD's got me through the endless hours of study and report writing - they inspired me so much that I have applied and been accepted for a 4yr degree at University! I have to listen to their music every day without fail and look forward to the DVD release so that I can see them live whenever I want. Words can't describe how amazing and talented I think they all are but Chad definetly does it for me BIG time, he has it all looks, voice intelligence the lot!!! I look forward to seeing them live in Glasgow, August for the 2nd time this year. Oh my god I am sooo excited!!!!!! PS (If you ever ever give the opportunity to anyone to meet the guys please bear my name in mind!!) Regards to everyone, Susan Price, Montrose, Angus SCOTLAND."

They Totally Rule And I Think Ryan Is Dead Sexy And We All Think Chad's Voice Is Absolutely Amazing !!!!!!!!!!! Please Show This As Non Believers Do Not Believe How Amazing They Are!!!!" From Laura, Cat And Claire Only too happy to share your email gals... maybe some non believers will indeed be converted. Thanks for letting us know the 'Back have such big fans in W.Sussex.
27/5: So things are still looking rosy in the Nickelback world. After 21 weeks in the airplay chart, Nickelback are still ranked at #13 - very nice indeed. Is there anyone out there who hasn't heard How You Remind Me yet? Don't forget, Fathers Day is coming up June 16th and Woolworths are stocking Silver Side Up in their Fathers Day promotion, so if you're pondering what to buy dear ol' Dad, there's your answer (and you can pick up The State for only £9.99 until June 10 as well). If you're gonna get subjected to parental music, might as well be something you like. And next time you've been dragged along to Tesco's by your parent (we can be PC), Silver Side Up is also in their '2 for 22' campaign.
Random Snippets: MTV Hits DOUBLED the number of times they played How You Remind Me this week.. we think you guys out there have been hitting them up with requests... you like that chick in the video huh? TV. Ant and Dec, also PJ & Duncan. No? They used to star in 'Byker Grove' on the BBC. What's the link to Nickelback? Byker Grove will be playing the How You Remind Me video in the background sometime soon... let us know if you spot it!
As this is being written, Nickelback and crew are landing in Japan, where they will be greeted by Syusuke, or one of the other staff members working at Roadrunner Japan. They will be playing a week's worth of dates before flying back to the U.S. come the 27th to start up once again on The 2002 Jim Beam Road to the Rackhouse Tour with Jerry Cantrell. Speaking of The 2002 Jim Beam Road to the Rackhouse Tour, opening night was one week ago today, on the 13th in Albuquerque, NM. At said show, Nickelback's Ryan Peake joined Jerry Cantrell onstage for the playing of Alice In Chains' "Them Bones". Surely, expect more cool shit as such at future shows. Ahhh, now back to the point of this story - the Georgia Straight Music Awards. Ever hear of them, eh? Tis a Canadian award show honouring primarily Canadian acts, but also includes American categories as well. The Georgia Straight Music Awards. A "Readers Choice" awards, as winners are determined via polls offered at its website and in local record shops. The award show was held on May 9th, and Nickelback pulled in the awards for Favourite Canadian Act and Favourite Canadian CD. Another notch on the bedpost. Congratulations.
A Tale From The Silver Side.. "It was our last lesson of German lesson in school and our teacher held a german quiz with a few nostalgic questions thrown in there ... and 2 of the questions were "What is Nickelback's current single?" and .... I can't remember the other one .... but both were Nickelback related!! Just more evidence to show Nickelback's far reaching influence! James Laycock, Manchester" James, thanks for the line... that's one cool teacher. Don't remember mine being that cool. Anyone else out there got something to share? email@example.com
GOLD! Remember a while back we were excited because How You Remind Me had been officially certified Silver, selling 200,000 copies in the UK? We're ecstatic to tell you that How You Remind Me has now been certified Gold, selling over 400,000 copies in the UK!! Congratulations going out to all of Nickelback... and 400,000 people with good taste. Not to be outdone, the album Silver Side Up has currently shipped over 500,000 copies in the UK - yes, more than half a million. How d'ya like them apples?!
Checked out Total Guitar or Powerplay magazine lately? You should... for Nickelback are gracing the cover of the latest issues.

Laura" You tell em Laura... whatever happened to not judging a book by it's cover...thanks for writing in. Anyone else out there got something to share? email@example.com

Best Recording Engineer: Randy Staub for How You Remind Me and Too Bad by Nickelback.

Festival Fun! Nickelback are confirmed to play the V2002 festival over August 17/18 in Chelmsford & Staffordshire. The band will play 3rd from top - under Primal Scream and the Stereophonics. Which stage and which day at the sites is still to be determined!
April 4: From New York With Love.. hot off the press release, how Nickelback are taking over the USA: As NICKELBACK set out to headline US MTV's Campus Invasion 2K2 Tour--the popular concert series visiting colleges around the country--their SILVER SIDE UP CD has been certified quadruple platinum. SILVER SIDE UP, which debuted at #2 on the US SoundScan charts last September, remains in the Top 15 of the Billboard Top 200, driven by the smash hits "How You Remind Me" and "Too Bad." The first leg of the MTV tour kicks off April 4 at Arkansas Tech University and will reach 15 schools, before concluding April 27 at the State University of New York in Binghamton. NICKELBACK will be joined on the tour by Default, Injected and Starsailor. After completing the MTV Campus Invasion 2K2 Tour, NICKELBACK will headline the Jim Beam "Road to the Rackhouse" tour from May through July, with special guest Jerry Cantrell opening.
Overseas, SILVER SIDE UP is matching the blockbuster success it has enjoyed in North America. Sales have exploded across Europe, where the album has racked up platinum in Switzerland and here in the U.K. and gold in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Holland and South Africa. In Australia, the album is two times platinum and their single "How You Remind Me" is three times platinum. "It's an emotional evening," was the NME.com headline on a story about NICKELBACK's first show of their sold-out headlining European trek at the London Astoria. "Despite the relative intimacy of the venue for the group, who have sold millions of records in North America, Nickelback treated the performance like a stadium show." During the 16-song set which culminated with "How You Remind Me," singer Chad Kroeger told the crowd, "I'd like to thank each and every one of you for making our first time here so fucking cool!"
Meanwhile, the singles from SILVER SIDE UP continue to impact the U.S. radio charts. This week "Too Bad" has become the band's second consecutive single to land the #1 position on the Active Rock chart. "Too Bad" is currently at #3 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart and #8 on Modern Rock, while holding in the top five at Monitor Mainstream Rock and top 10 at Monitor Heritage Rock and Modern Rock and is growing fast at top 40. Their hit song "How You Remind Me" shattered the Billboard Monitor "Modern Rock" record for the most spins in one week by garnering over 3,100 spins. In addition, it has just become the first song to spend twelve weeks at #1 on the Top 40 Tracks chart, beating out "Livin' la Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin (1999), "Smooth" by Santana featuring Rob Thomas (1999) and "Bye Bye Bye" by 'N Sync (2000). "How You Remind Me" is still lodged in the top 100 of the Billboard Hot 100 at #6 and ranks #8 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart. Back home in Canada, NICKELBACK are also among this year's leading Juno Awards nominees, where SILVER SIDE UP has already gone quadruple platinum. They are tied with Our Lady Peace and Leonard Cohen for the most nominations (four). NICKELBACK, who will perform at the awards on April 14, have been nominated for Best Album, Best Group, Best Single and Best Rock Album. An additional nomination went to Randy Staub in the Best Recording Engineer category for his work on "How You Remind Me" and "Too Bad."
Did you get to one of the sold out UK tour dates? Nickelback played Wolverhampton, Glasgoww, Manchester, and London from March 13-16. You can check out our photos from the Manchester show in the Nickelback gallery. What were the shows like? Pretty fucking mental. Ticket touts were reportedly selling tickets for the London show around £40 each on the night (face value approx £12)! RR gal Mindee reports, "it was amazing, really great. Everyone was singing along to every song." In case you were wondering, the set list even included brand new songs and was: Woke Up This Morning, One Last Run, Too Bad, Breathe, Hollywood, Figured You (brand new song), Hangnail, Never Again, Old Enough, Where Do I Hide, Contestant (brand new song), Leader Of Men, Mistake, and of course, How You Remind Me - complete with an acoustic intro! As well as all the promotion the band squeezed into their trip, such as Radio 1 Backstage, a CD:UK tour report (going out THIS Saturday), live interviews on Capital FM, Virgin FM, hanging out with Roadrunner teamers, and much more in Manchester the band managed to surprise Travis (also playing Manc that evening) with a visit during soundcheck! No hanging about on this trip, the band travelled by tour bus to the next show town each night, stopping only in hotels long enough for a quick shower, and perhaps a beer at the bar. Hopefully, the 'Back will return soon for the festival season.

March is here, and as people wait to see how the college basketball season shakes out, the SUNY system already has its brackets set and they could result in a showdown between a local bear and kangaroo.
SUNY is hosting its first mascot tournament to determine which campuss costumed representative is the most popular. SUNY Cantons Rudy Roo and SUNY Potsdams Max C. Bear are among the participants.
They seeded the mascots based on the amount of sports teams they had. That is why we ended up as a 15 seed, and Cortland is number 1, said Daniel H. Bronson, SUNY Potsdam sports information director.
The SUNY system has set up a website where people can vote for their favorite mascots, which have been arranged in a bracket similar to the NCAA mens basketball tournament. Each week, mascots will be paired up and will advance until there are only two left.
It has been a lot of fun so far. It has been fun to promote our mascot and see how everyone else is promoting their mascot, SUNY Canton Athletic Director Randy B. Sieminski said. Ive been more surprised at how many people have really voted. Were up over 2,000 votes. Were pleased with that. We have the most votes out of anybody in the contest so far.
SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam are on opposite sides of the bracket, meaning they wont meet each other unless both make it to the final.
Were both trying to do the same thing. I think it is a great chance to further our rivalry, Mr. Bronson said. Were in the process of building our programs. It would be great for both north country schools to match up against each other.
The campuses are using a social media campaign to entice votes for Rudy and Max.
It is a good way to grow our social media and our Twitter, Mr. Sieminski said. Weve been pushing out to vote for our mascot through both those outlets and encouraged people to like our Facebook page.
Round 1, which pits Rudy Roo against Alfred States Orvis the Pioneer and Max C. Bear against Morrisvilles Mustang, ends today. Currently, Rudy is winning his pairing by a wide margin, while Max is trailing slightly.
To view the bracket and to cast a vote, visit http://blog.suny.edu/2013/03/suny-mascot-madness-round-1.

The state championship in freestyle and Greco Roman wrestling was hosted at Carbon High on April 7 and 8.
On April 7 the wrestlers competed in Greco Roman style. Boys came from all over the state to defend their titles resulting in very tough competition. The state championship brings out the best athletes to compete.
Each weight class and division crowned a single champion. Carbon had three wrestlers win in the Greco Roman style.
Bryce Jackman and Caleb Williams retained their titles that they won in the 204-05 tournament. Johnny O'Hearon also took first in his first year competing in the Greco Roman style.
Kenny Wood and Wyatt Martinez each placed second. Nico Velasquez was able to take third. Tyler Procarione and Casey Iodesetto captured a fourth place finish.
Saturday's freestyle competition was equally as fierce. The Carbon Raptor team was up to the competition with four of the team taking home a championship. Jackman, Williams and O'Hearon doubled up their gold medals with another victory apiece.
Nathan Velasquez joined them in the winners circle with his own first place finish. Williams and O'Hearon were returning champions from last year in this style as well.
Martinez again took second place. Nico Velasquez and Wood placed fourth. Fifth place finishes were awarded to Connor Fausett, Jax Kraync and Dallen Mower. Tony Velasquez finished in sixth.
The Carbon Raptors Youth Wrestling Club had an awesome year. The success of the team was one of the best they have ever had.
At the end of the folk style season the Carbon Raptors had four wrestlers ranked in the top six in the state. After the state tournament, the team still has three ranked in the top six.
Coaches Montel Jackman and Brock Fausett, along with many dedicated fathers are in the wrestling room at least three nights a week with the boys.
Their hard work and commitment has paid off. This year's club has produced five national champions, two multi-national champions and four state champions.

Audi TT Quattro 2010, Yellowstuff Brake Pads by EBC®. 2 Pair. These are racing-grade replacement brake pads designed to offer an optimum combination of performance on both the street and the racetrack. Aramid fiber compound provides a high level of grip when pads are cold and maintains it without fade even under the hottest operating temperatures. Best suited for higher horsepower cars.
- Designed to provide an optimum combination of street and racetrack performance
- Unique composition allows high braking friction when brakes are cold
- Features a cold friction rating of 0.5
- Backing plate and side edges of brake pad are yellow powder coated for resistance to corrosion
- Pad surfaces have chamfered edges to reduce contact against rotor lip that forms over time and causes squealing
- Center gap allows for proper heat expansion of brake pads
- Built in noise-reducing shims
- Provides equivalent performance to GG-rated brake pads
- Patented Brake-In™ red pad surface coating provides better grip during the first 100 miles after new pads are installed
- Patented Brake-In™ red pad surface coating scours off any existing glaze or heat spots from brake rotor surface for more even surface mating
- 6 month/10,000 mile manufacturer warranty against premature pad wear under normal driving conditions
EBC Yellowstuff 1793 compound is a true winner all round, it has high friction from cold, not requiring warm up for street use yet when loaded up and really hot the brakes just get better. Even up to truck weights these pads grip and do not heat fade. They also suitable and the most fastest brake pads for Trackday and Drift racing. EBC yellows are ECE Brake safety tested which means they must work perfectly from cold at least as good or better than stock pads. When Yellowstuff see some heat (which is not tested for in the ECE R 90 brake safety regulations) they really show their pedigree. On Japanese cars built with lower friction FF rated pads these deliver a full grade higher stopping and on German cars built with GG these are about the only aftermarket pads that will match or beat the pretty good German OE spec pads and that takes some doing.95.39 125.16

Detailed Description:
The clinical trial identifier is PIONEER I. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of adalimumab and to determine how well it works in the treatment of adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). HS is a chronic skin disease that creates red, swollen, painful bumps which can break open to combine and form tunnels in the skin and scars. Sometimes these bumps can heal themselves quickly and sometimes they will become much worse and create sores that heal with multiple combined scars, or areas that do not heal. In this study, approximately 300 adults will be enrolled at treatment centers worldwide. Subject participation in this study will be up to 50 weeks. There will be a screening period, which will last from 7 to 30 days, and a study treatment period of up to 36 weeks. Study visits occur at Screening, Baseline, and Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32 and 36 (or sooner if subject leaves the study before Week 36). The study is divided into two treatment periods. The first period (Period A) will last 12 weeks and the second period (Period B) will last up to 24 weeks.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adults must have a diagnosis of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) for at least 1 year prior to Baseline.
- HS lesions must be present in at least two distinct anatomical areas, one of which must be at least Hurley Stage II or Hurley Stage III.
- Subject must have stable HS for at least 60 days prior to Screening visit and at Baseline visit.
- Subject must have experienced an inadequate response to at least a 90 day treatment of oral antibiotics for treatment of HS.
- Subject must have a count of greater than or equal to 3 at baseline.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subject was previously treated with adalimumab or another anti-TNF therapy (e.g., infliximab or etanercept).
- Subject received any oral antibiotic treatment for HS within 28 days prior to Baseline.
- Subject received oral concomitant analgesics (including opioids) for HS-related pain within 14 days prior to Baseline visit.
If entering the study on concomitant oral analgesics for non-HS related pain:

Carbon High senior Shaylie Jones tries to block a shot during a game against North Sanpete last week. Jones is one of seven seniors on the Lady Dinos squad who are looking to advance far into the state tournament.
With one game seperating them from advancing to the quarterfinals at Dixie State College next week, the Carbon High boys and girls basketball teams still have a lot of work to do.
For the girls, a first place finish in Region 12 was a great accomplishment. But now they want show what they are made of in the state tournament.
The Lady Dinos will face Ogden High tomorrow night with a chance to advance to the quarterfinals starting next Thursday at Dixie State College.
The Lady Dinos will not take things lightly with seven seniors on the squad wanting to go out on a high note.
For the Carbon High boys, a shot at advancing to Dixie State would be the culimination of a season with plenty of highs and lows.
The battle-tested Dino squad survived a tough region schedule to finish third in Region 12. The third place finish now will see the Carbon Boys travel to Ogden to play Ben Lomond on Saturday at 7 p.m.
The Dinos took the first meeting 44-42 in double overtime back on Dec. 10.
Head coach Jeff Cisneros said Ben Lomond will provide a tough defensive test for the Dinos, who will be without junior forward Derek Young. Young suffered a broken arm during the JV game last Friday and will be out for the rest of the season.
Cisneros said the rest of the team will have to step up and work together to overcome adversity.
"They all need to step up now because it's going to be tough playing on the road," he said.
Cisneros noted that Ben Lomond features one of the top ranked defensive teams in 3A, allowing only 44.76 points per game.
"Our goal all year long has been to get to the state tournament," he said. "We've lost some close games and we've won some close games this year.
"The boys are as ready as they'll ever be," he said.

YES you are right, when making the cremeux you do need to take the caramel mix and egg yolks back to the heat to thicken and then add the gelatin. That point isn't exactly clear in the recipe. I apologize for that.
I have also made the cremeux for other cakes and have found that it works best if you really chill it in an ice bath to the consistency of heavy mayonnaise. That way you can either spread it or pipe it.
As to the amount of cake. That can be reduced as you need. I usually make it in a small sheet pan and then cut the circles out. I freeze the left overs and use them for other desserts say with fresh berries and icecream and bits of cake. Or with chocolate and icecream.
I'm still not sure why there seems to be a shortage of Bavarian cream. The majority of the cream should be around the outside not in the middle of the cake. With 4 layers (two cake, one cremeux, one gelee) each about 1/2 inch thick that shouldn't leave much room in the center for the bavarian cream. Oh well back to the drawing board.

Irish Internet Radio and TV from Dublin, Ireland.
I would be interested in finding out where and how St Patrick's Day is celebrated around the world. Others on Live Ireland might like to share details of events they will be attending or involved in. Perhaps after the event people could post images or videos. I will be attending the Westbury St Patrick's Festival in Tasmania.
St Patrick's Day and Festival in Tasmania
Westbury in the North of Tasmania is the site of Tasmania's largest celebration of St Patrick's Day and also has a weekend festival on the weekend that falls nearest to the day itself. The website has details of the events held http://www.wspf.info/index.html and also details the towns many connections to Irish history http://www.wspf.info/gpage2.html The most important connection is that the Irish community of Westbury harboured and aided the escape from Tasmania of Young Irelanders, John Mitchell and Thomas Francis Meagher.

This is just a little something a wrote to tell about The Flying Spaghetti Mother(The wife of the Flying Spaghetti Monster) Noodly Appendage, The Wholy Marine Corps.
The purpose of the Wholy Marines as defined by the tenth Pastafarian Admiral of the Fleet, Capitan Zarathustra who established the order of Her Noodly Appendage(The Wholy Marine Corps) was to act as "the army of the FSMs" to guard and protect everyone (not just Pastafarians) and who always act according to their FSM's teachings, rules and ethics were at act with charity, love and service to all human beings. The commandments of the Wholy Marines being enshrined in the Wholy Marines Officer Manual.
This brings unprecedented responsibilities and duties that need to be fulfilled by the Wholy Marines. If the Wholy Marines are truly the noodly appendages of the Flying Spaghetti Monster&Mother, "FSMs' army", then the duties of a Wholy Marine is to serve the Almighties and the entire people of the world. This concept is all encompassing and cannot be used in a narrow sense to refer to the duties of the Wholy Marines to a small sect or elite group of men/women who share similar beliefs; the Wholy Marines must serve the wider world community as that is the goal set by the Flying Spaghetti Mother. If the Wholy Marines fails to serve this wider goal, it will be lacking in its duties to their FSMs and will not fulfil the key requirement set out by the Flying Spaghetti Monster in the Pirate Personnel Guide.
Wholy Marine tradition states that at the age of thirty, Capitan Zarathustra went missing and was presumed to have drowned after going for one of his morning swims in the nearby ocean. One day on his arrival, he declared: "There is no Ninjaism, there is no Pirateism".
It was from this moment that Capitan Zarathustra would begin to spread the teachings of what was then the beginning of the Wholy Marines.
Even though Bhai Kanhaiya's father was a wealthy trader, he was of such a strong religious bent of mind that he left home when still very young and roamed about with saddhus and ascetics in search of spiritual peace. His quest ended when he met Capitan Tegh Bahadur and accepted initiation as a Pirate at his hands. His special mission was selfless service of humanity with no distinction of nationality, caste or creed. Once while he was on shore leave to Anandpur the city was attacked by a combination of Rajput hill troops and their Ninja allies.
During the frequent sallies and skirmishes between the Pirates and the enemy around Anandpur, Bhai Kanhaiya was often seen carrying a mashak (a goatskin water pouch), serving water to anyone who was thirsty, quenching the thirst of the dying and wounded soldiers while haning out candy. He did this sewa(The Giving of The Candies) with love and affection without any discrimination, giving water to both friends and foe. His acts of compassion stirred up stern criticism amongst his fellow Pirates, who complained to The Admiral of The Fleet, pointing out that Ensign Bhai Kanhaiya was even serving the fallen Ninja attackers. They were especially annoyed because the city had been surrounded, stopping the supply of candy and water, and here was Bhai Kanhaiya sharing what little water they had. They had tried to stop him many a time, but he would not pay them any heed. Bhai Kanhaiya's benevolent actions eventually led to a summons by Fleet Admiral Nanak who explained that he had received a complaint about his actions on the battlefield.
Fleet-Admiral Zarathustra said, "These brave Pirates are saying that you go and feed water to the enemy and they recover to fight them again -- Is this true?"
Ensign Bhai Kanhaiya replied "Yes, my Capitan, what they say is true. But Fleet-Admiral, I saw no Ninja or Pirate on the battlefield. I only saw human beings. And, ... Fleet-Admiral Zarathustra, .. they all have the same FSM's Spirit? -- Fleet-Admiral Nanak, have you not taught us to treat all the Flying Spaghetti Monster's people as the same?"
The Admiral of The Fleet was very pleased with the reply. Bhai Kanhaiya had understood the deep message of Pirate Personnel Guide correctly.
The Admiral of The Fleet smiled and blessed Bhai Kanhaiya.
Fleet-Admiral Zarathustra said, "Ensign Bhai Kanhaiya, you are right, you have understood the true message of Pirate Personnel Guide".
He then told the Pirates who had complained that Bhai Kanhaiya had understood the deeper message of the FSMs' teachings correctly and that they all would have to strive to learn lessons from the priceless words of Pirate Personnel Guide.
The Admiral of The Fleet also gave Bhai Kanhaiya some medical balm and said, "From now on, You should also put this balm on the wounds of all who need it"
Then turning to the pirates Fleet-Admiral Zarathustra said, "Pirates, Bhai Kanhaiya is a FSM-feeling saintly soul. His impartial and non-biased behaviour towards others has led him to achieve the Sehaj state. Let him carry on with his mission. Many more will follow in his footsteps in the years to come and keep the tradition of The Giving of The Candies alive."
And so it happened that Bhai Kanhaiya became the first of the Wholy Marines.
So what you guys think on the Wholy Marines?

Video: Steve Ott Speaks About Booing Fans
BUFFALO, N.Y. - Two days after Buffalo Sabres fans booed the team during a game at First Niagara Center, forward Steve Ott is standing behind his comments that he was disappointed with them.
"Our fans were booing us every opportunity they had," Ott told reporters after the Sabres 3-2 shootout victory over the New Jersey Devils."It is disappointing in the sense we created momentum from having a hardworking defensive zone shift, catching it on the offense, scoring big goals, timely goals. Those are the ones that win you games.
The Sabres were stuck in their own zone for much of the game and the fans were critical of their play despite the positive result.
On Tuesday morning, Ott's comments were similar when he went on WGR 550 Radio as a guest on the Howard Simon Show.
"I think it is completely ridiculous to be honest with you, we go into other buildings and we have won a lot of games and teams that should have the same amount of frustration, sold out buildings... It's funny because they are continuing to cheer on their team,"
Ott finished the radio interview by clarifying that he is not against the fans.
"I'm not banging on our fans at all, because we do have a lot of fantastic fans. It's just disheartening when it is a 0-0 game or 1-1 and you are looking for some positive energy in our crowd."

This just in (we love it when we get to say that), Sony has just officially announced the next smartphone in its Xperia line, the Xperia E.
It may seem that the XPeria T – branded as the official James Bond smartphone and featured in the movie Skyfall – has barely hit store shelves. But Sony's already looking to launch this latest addition to the XPeria family as early as the first quarter of 2013, or in other words, by the end of March at the latest.
But the Bond phone has no real reason to fear the Xperia E. Though they'll be part of the same line, the two smartphones are entirely different beasts, built for different purposes and a different audience for certain.
For starters, the Xperia E seems to have been designed with cost efficiency in mind. Not only is the phone itself an affordable, entry-level device, but it's also built to help you save money when using it.
The XPeria E will be available in a dual SIM model, the XPeria Edual, "so that consumers can easily switch between tariffs with just one touch to stay on the most cost effective plan," says Sony.
Meanwhile, the Xperia E also boasts features to let you save on data and battery. Users can set it up to automatically disconnect from Wi-fi and data once the screen has been inactive for a few minutes. And Sony claims that its extended battery standby mode "increases the standby time up to 4 times" what you normally get from other devices.
For sure, this is an economy-focused phone. But just because it doesn't boast the flashiness of the Bond-approved Xperia T, doesn't mean we should disregard it as merely a cheap device. As Sony's Director of Xperia Marketing Calum MacDougall explains:
"Consumers looking to take their first steps into the world of Xperia smartphones would be well advised to look at Xperia E or Xperia E dual. They are perfect for those seeking affordable access to the quality and functionality more traditionally associated with high-end Android smartphones."
Aside from more or less entry-level specs – it's got a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 1GHz single-core processor, a 3.5" display with a 480 x 320 resolution, and 4GB of internal memory – it does have a few fancy features. Among them, says PocketLint, is HD voice, which allows for much clearer talk.
Over all, if you're looking for a no-nonsense Android phone without Bond's bells and whistles, the XPeria E and Xperia Edual are probably the going to be a good bet. But we'll have to wait for their release early next year to really know how they perform.

NAMI's six-month, cultural competence self-assessment will examine the organization's capacity to meet the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse communities. NAMI plans to examine key indicators of cultural competence within the organization. These include leadership, vision/mission, staff composition, cultural concepts, training and staff development, work climate, communication, performance evaluation, outcomes management, policies and procedures, collaboration, services, programs, and products. Determining the perceptions, practices, and satisfactions of staff, consumers, family members, and other key participants are an essential component of the assessment.
The assessment will result in a comprehensive report that will identify NAMI's strengths and provide recommendations. NAMI will use these findings to build upon its identified strengths and will plan strategies to apply resources and partnerships to meet the needs of diverse communities more effectively. Full article

New research indicates that a powerful weapon in the fight against bioterrorism could be a simple cup of tea.
The favorite English beverage has shown in studies the ability to kill certain deadly microorganisms and deactivate toxins. According to Dr. Simon Richardson, senior lecturer in Biopharmaceutical Sciences at the British University of Greenwich's School of Science, and his team of researchers, a principal component of black tea can neutralize ricin, a highly toxic substance that has been used in a number of attempted bioterror attacks.
Ricin is a waste byproduct of the extraction of oil from castor beans.
"One cup of char [British slang for tea] won't cure you if you have been poisoned, but compounds extracted from tea could, with further research, provide an antidote to poisoning following a terrorist attack," said Richardson. "I've been working on neutralizing ricin poisoning for about six years as a by-product of my work in drug delivery…The next stage, as well as securing more funding, is seeing if other components of tea have a greater effect."
There is currently no treatment for ricin poisoning. A number of failed terror attempts in the United States and abroad have involved the bioterrorism chemical in recent years.
In 1978, Georgi Markov, a Bulgarian journalist and activist living in London, was famously killed by a man with an umbrella rigged to inject a poison ricin pellet under Markov's skin.
If refined into a terrorist or warfare agent, ricin could be used to expose people through the air, food or water.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down the politically charged centerpiece of the Defense of Marriage Act, in a significant victory for marriage equality.
Issuing the first of two long-awaited decisions involving same-sex marriage, the divided court said the 1996 law violates the constitutional guarantees of equal protection.
"DOMA divests married same-sex couples of the duties and responsibilities that are an essential part of married life," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority.
Kennedy joined the court's four liberal justices in the 5-4 decision.
The Defense of Marriage Act decision issued at 10 a.m. Wednesday was the first of two same-sex marriage decisions expected from the Supreme Court.
The other involves a challenge to California's Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in the state. Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act declares that, for the purposes of providing federal benefits, marriage is "only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife" and a spouse is only a "person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife."
The definition is important because it determines eligibility for a host of federal rights, benefits and privileges. The Government Accountability Office has identified more than 1,100 areas of federal law in which marriage matters. These range from tax and welfare benefits to employment and immigration.
A same-sex military couple, for instance, is denied housing, health insurance and disability benefits, nor is the spouse eligible for burial alongside his or her spouse in a national cemetery.
"The statute is invalid, for no legitimate purpose overcomes the purpose and effect to disparage and injure those whom the state, through its marriage laws, sought to protect in personhood and dignity," Kennedy wrote.
Coming on the final day of the term that began last October, the Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8 decisions drew a large crowd outside the court building on Capitol Hill, across the street from Congress.
The mood alternated between festive and anxious, with same-sex marriage supporters seeming to outnumber opponents.
Congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 by wide margins, with supporters at the time including Democratic Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, who is now the Senate majority leader, and then-senator Joe Biden of Delaware, now the vice president.
The House of Representatives, which passed the bill by an overwhelming 342-67 margin, explained in a committee report that the law was meant to convey "moral disapproval of homosexuality."
One of the law's chief backers at the time, current Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., declared during the House debate that homosexual conduct was "based on perversion."
The federal law defining marriage inserted the national government into what had traditionally been state territory.
In the years since, though, a number of Defense of Marriage Act supporters began back-pedaling. It is now opposed by former congressman Bob Barr of Georgia, a Republican author of the bill, who in July 1996 decried "the flames of hedonism, the flames of narcissism, the flames of self-centered morality (that) are licking at the very foundations of our society: the family unit."
The Obama administration, too, initially defended the federal law, as is customary for administrations, but it stopped in February 2011 after concluding that Section 3 violated the Constitution.
The case arose from a challenge filed by Edith Windsor, a computer programmer who in 2007 married her long-time partner, Thea Clara Spyer. They remained a couple until Spyer died in 2009. The Defense of Marriage Act prohibited Windsor from receiving a deduction afforded married couples. She had to pay $363,053 in estate taxes, and the Internal Revenue Service denied her refund request.
Twelve states and the District of Columbia now recognize same-sex marriage, and a recent Pew Research Center survey found that 72 percent of those asked thought that legal recognition of same-sex marriage was inevitable.
"The justices are not likely to announce that the ongoing debate over same-sex marriage is now over," said Richard W. Garnett, a University of Notre Dame Law School professor. "While we can't predict what the court will say, the past few years building up to this day have seen a sea change in accepting the idea that all loving and committed couples ... deserve the protections and dignity that only come with marriage."
Tribune reporter Krystle Wagner is working on an analysis about what this ruling means for local couples and for Michigan. If you would like to contribute appropriate dialogue about what this means to our community, e-mail her at email@example.com.
