Perhaps the juiciest story to break in college football in recent memory in unfolding before our eyes in Morgantown, W.Va., as Bill Stewart is being accused of asking reporters from the Mountaineer beat to "dig up dirt" on head coach in-waiting Dana Holgorsen.
The marriage between Holgorsen and Stewart was ugly from Jump Street. When West Virginia AD Oliver Luck introduced Holgorsen to the media he essentially said Stewart wasn't the man to lead the Mountaineers back to the BCS, but Holgorsen was. That had to make things awkward around the water cooler.
At that press conference Stewart uttered this line, easily the money quote in hindsight:
"We've met, and we've gotten along really, really well. This will be a very smooth transition."
Funny way of showing it, Bill. I can't wait for Karen in Morgantown's reaction to all of this.
Maybe Stewart wasn't a fan of Holgorsen's hard-partying ways? This was a doomed partnership at its inception, but it's not the only head coach in-waiting tandem that has fallen apart.
The successes have been overshadowed by the failures. Chip Kelly is the gold standard in terms on on-field success, but there were rumors that Mike Bellotti was pressed to leave a year early so as to ensure Kelly wouldn't be plucked by another school.
As far as on-field success and creating a re-energized program, Jimbo Fisher has been a great success, but let's not forget the shit storm that his ascension caused Florida State.
Joker Phillips is the perfect example of on-field success and off-field harmony. Kentucky named Phillips the coach in-waiting in 2008, and after the 2009 season Phillips replaced the retired Brooks.
Purdue named Danny Hope the successor to Joe Tiller and has since run the Purdue program into the ground. Hope needs a big year in 2011 or he's gone. James Franklin was the head coach in-waiting at Maryland after Ralph Friedgen retired. Franklin is entering his first season as Vanderbilt's head coach (bless his heart) and the Fridge has been fired.
And then there's Texas. The Longhorns hit a home run when they hired Will Muschamp as their defensive coordinator in 2008, and after that season, he was dubbed Texas's coach in-waiting. The line of succession sounded fantastic as Texas would finally have a coach who knows, well, how to coach. If only Brown would have played along.
It became clear after the 2010 season that Muschamp would have to wait to be the head coach at Texas much longer than he wanted to. Brown, coming off of a dismal 5-7 year (at TEXAS!!) wanted a few more shots at the title.
Enter Florida, and we all know what happened next.
My issue with the coach in-waiting thought process is two-fold. One, you're asking for the balance of power to become a fluid situation. Do players listen to the man on his way out, or do they begin to do what they think the new guy wants? Will the current head coach want to leave when his successor wants him to leave? That has proven to be a resounding no, by the way.
Secondly, having a coach in-waiting limits your options when you replace the current coach. Being the coach in-waiting means making a boat load of money as an assistant coach (Muschamp was making just south of $1 million at Texas). Why pay that kind of money when you can just offer him the job when the time comes?
What happens if the coach in-waiting has a bad year or two? You had better hope you did what Texas did and refuse to put a penalty for not being he coach at a certain point, something Florida State didn't do. The Seminoles would have had to pay Fisher $4 million had Bowden coached two more years.
If you are Kentucky, I can see the attraction to the coach in-waiting, but the succession has to take place quickly (no more than 2 years). However, if you're Texas, Alabama or some of the other top dogs, why would you limit your options? If you feel your program is a destination job, the guy you want to name head coach in-waiting will be there when the time comes.
Not all coach in-waiting situations have turned into a
dumpster couch fire like that in Morgantown, but the upside isn't worth the almost guaranteed backbiting and awkwardness that is completely unavoidable.
I'm not sure the coach in-waiting will go away completely, but I do think we will see less programs go in that direction, and I think that's a good thing.

This streaming video shows a fun trick that you can use to impress your friends! But seriously, how does this trick work? [2:01]
I'm amazed.
Have to buy some tooth picks and try that.
spoiler alert …
1. Centre of gravity of forks (because of weight of handles) is over the rim, not beyond the edge.
2. Once the pick has burned, the melted wood/plastic slightly fuses to the rim
3. There was negligible toothpick weight needed on the inside of the glass anyway, the counterbalancing was because of the fork handles. So burning that bit off made no difference to the balance.
Sorry if that random hypothesis has spoiled the magic for you 😉
The angle of view made it difficult to verify (probably on purpose), but my reading is as follows:
1) The primary fulcrum here is the edge of the cup. The center of the cup is a visual distraction. It's worth noting that there had to be something keeping that cup from falling over, perhaps a heavy base.
Now here's where I get uncertain, but the key is clearly the counterweights at the far ends of the forks.
2a) If they extend far enough past the cup edge on either side, they could simply be balancing the works on the primary fulcrum. (This is what I couldn't be sure of from the angle).
2b) If they don't reach far enough for complete balance, there's still another possibility, by introducing a secondary mobile fulcrum where the toothpick supports the forks.
The inward-leaning handles would tend to rotate the fork assembly toward the cup. If the toothpick is securely enough wedged in there (and strong enough), it could transmit that rotation, and thus the weight of the forks, back to the primary, fixed, fulcrum.
I think that given this, the handles don't have to balance the weight of the whole assembly, they only need to keep it from "toppling" away from the edge of the cup.
You see situations like this when playing with a gyroscope too — with the gyro spinning on its side, you can support the whole thing on a finger under either tip of the axis, because it "doesn't want to" topple that spin axis.
And come to think of it, scratch 2a above, as the torque of 2b is needed to keep it from toppling regardless.
Uh, nice observations guys, but I think the puzzling bit is why the toothpick stops burning when the flame reaches the edge of the cup.
I think it must have something to do with how the air flows around the cup as a result of the flame. I wonder if it would still work if the cup had a hole in the side?
Thanks for the information, doesn't spoil it for me knowing how it may work.
I'm still going to try it as it looks impressive :o)
I suspect that the towel might be hiding a magnet to hold the metal cup down and if the toothpick is to melt to the edge of the cup (as RNB suggests as a possibility) plastic seems more appropriate as wood doesn't tend to melt.
The toothpick might stop burning when it reaches the cup because the metal conducts the heat away so quickly? That or the toothpick was dipped in water and the person setting it up carefully positioned it so the water line was right on the edge of the glass.
Um, there sure is a lot of speculation here. FYI, I've done this trick before, and it does not depend upon a metal cup (here's a version using a glass cup), or a magnet, and the toothpick does not have to be plastic. Clearly the toothpick in this video was wooden; plastic wouldn't leave a long ash like that.
I won't pretend to tell you that I know HOW it works, but I suspect that the center of gravity explanation in #2 above is pretty close to the mark. But I can tell you that is does work, and no trickery is involved.
I remember this one from college. RNB has it right. We used to use one fork and one spoon, since you can't always guarantee to find forks that will interlock exactly, but you can always bend the fork tines a bit to grip the bowl of the spoon.
As others have noted, this is legit. There is no setup or trickery involved.
I've been doing this trick for years. My father taught it to me with a fork and spoon. IIRC his explaination had to do with a rotational force. The fork and spoon most definately try to rotate towards the cup, with the handles pointing down.
A witch! A witch!
Most of this trick is not new. I remember it from my youth, some decades ago. The flame is new to me, but the self-extinguishing part is not difficult to explain. As you can see, the toothpick barely burns. When the flame reaches the rim of the metal cup, the metal absorbs so much of the heat that the toothpick cannot continue to burn. The same thing happens if you try to burn a piece of paper held with pliers. There will typically be a little bit of charred but unburned paper sticking out from the jaws. Dip the toothpick in lighter fluid or some similarly highly flammable liquid and you'll probably see the fire jump the rim.
I learned this trick as a kid many years ago, but with a slight variation: We would take a salt shaker as the base, and insert a toothpick downwards through the centre hole, creating an antennae-like tip. We would then construct the fork structure same as in the video, except with more of a 90 degree angle at their intersection. The toothpick would be inserted as in the video. We were then able to balance the tip of one toothpick on the other! It takes a bit of trial and error depending on the shape of the forks, but it looked even more unbelievable than this.
The toothpick will go near to the top of the spoon, but exactly where depends on depends on the relative weight of the fork and the spoon, and also the angle the toothpick makes with the combined fork/spoon system. The trick is to ensure that some part of the toothpick passes over the center of gravity of the fork/spoon combination.
I just did it with a fork, spoon and 4.2cm-long wooden matchstick, on the edgs of a fruitbowl. You will find rather bad pics at
When you find the right balance, the system is rather stable. Not only decorative, but useful; having achieved it, you can balance the toothpick on the tip of a pen and use it to attract a busy barkeeper's attention!
i did that version too! and YES it is cooler (no offence to this one).
i also think it's harder as you really have to have dexterity to balance the toothpicks and the forks… kudos.
Yeah I had to run and try to see if it worked myself. It did. Wheee.
I happened to have 2 forks, some toothpicks and a cup handy, so I did the trick. Works fine. It reminds me of those eagles they would sell, with outstretched wings that were weighted so the bird would balance on a small point on it's beak. I guess the toothpick burning is just to make it look cooler.
Hahaha. Thrash Unreal.

Different Drummer is innovative music software that uses the innate rhythmic power of waves to control all aspects of music using our patent pending Cyclophone Technology. Since waves are the primal source of all cyclical motion in the Universe, it makes sense to tap into them for musical purposes other than synthesizers. Not only can waves create sounds, they can play sounds and compose music too. We feel we have discovered the "Fountain of Drumming" and we are sharing our discovery with the world! But make no mistake, Different Drummer does much more than play drums so it's more like a "Fountain of Music!"
While this app is definitely fun to play with, real production is what it's forsaving wave patterns and combining them into sequences and recording tracks, or as a live performance tool. It can also be used to inspire new ideas for drum patterns or rhythmic ideas for songs because, as you will find out, the variety of rhythms and melodies is truly endless. If you are serious about your rhythm tracks, Different Drummer is a must-have tool! Pros can use the direct MIDI out and MIDI sync features to use this to play complex musical wave patterns out to other synthesizers and drum machines on your iPad or studio.
Different Drummer is Not a Synthesizer. People often mistake Different Drummer for a Drum Synthesizer because of the Wave Controls. Different Drummer has little to do with how drums sound and everything to do with how they are played. As the name implies, Different Drummer is like having a drummer that plays drums in a fresh new way. The drum samples provided come to life under the control of Different Drummer's unique algorithms. Interestingly, it ends up being a new "macro synthesizer" because it can play samples in such a new way that the effect is a new sound. You can also import your own drum and non-drum samples for incredible results. This doesn't mean we won't build a drum synthesizer into future versions!
The main saved module of Different Drummer is the Wave Set which is a collection of up to 8 Drum Waves, each of those composed of six Control Waves:
Each of these component waves is composed of a Fundamental wave and 6 partials of that fundamental, making for an astronomical set of variables that allow you to dial in any rhythm imaginable and many more that are unimaginablethe whole point of Different Drummer. Nothing can replace a good live drummer, but Different Drummer will definitely inspire drummers to try new things and may even intimidate a few of them because it's hard to compete with the pefection of waves and mathematics.
1900's = Patterns and Loops
Different Drummer functionality is conveniently packed in to an easy-to-use interface broken into three main sections:

The decision to move next summer's England v West Indies Test match away from Cardiff is a major embarrassment for Glamorgan, who won acclaim in 2009 for their debut staging of the first Ashes Test of that summer.
An England and Wales Cricket Board statement confirmed that the scheduled Cardiff 2012 Test has now been put back out to a competitive tender process for bids by other host international venues. Lord's is the overwhelming favourite to stage it.
The ECB management board made the decision after Glamorgan advised the ECB that it would be late in making staging fee payments for hosting the England v Sri Lanka npower Test match in Cardiff in May.
Following further discussions between ECB and Glamorgan it has been agreed the club will be given an extended period in which to meet the financial terms of its staging agreement.
Glamorgan suffered a major financial loss for the Sri Lanka game which failed to capture the public imagination, a situation not helped by the fact that four of the five days were rain-affected.
Alan Hamer, the Glamorgan chief executive, said: "Following lengthy discussions with the ECB, Cardiff will not be staging an England v West Indies Test match next year. The next Test match to be staged in Cardiff will now be in 2014.
"Due to the commercial challenges the club faced in staging the recent England v Sri Lanka npower Test match, the ECB have agreed to extend the deadline for Glamorgan Cricket to meet the financial terms of the match agreement.
"The SWALEC Stadium will continue to stage international cricket with a minimum of one Test match, five one-day internationals and one Twenty20 international to be played in Cardiff prior to 2016.
"Glamorgan Cricket has also recently submitted an application to the ECB to stage additional international matches at the SWALEC Stadium in the period 2013 to 2016, and a decision is expected in September."
England are next in Cardiff for a NatWest Series one-day international against India on September 16. England then return to Wales next year for a one-day international against South Africa.

It's been a long time coming, but summer is finally here. And with blue skies overhead, there's no better time to lift the lid on the latest crop of convertibles.
Starting our rag-top round-up is the Vauxhall Cascada – part of the brand's push upmarket. With classy looks, a spacious cabin and attractive pricing, the newcomer has premium rivals like the Audi A5 in its sights. We test it in £23,995 entry-level 1.4 SE guise.
The Audi RS5, meanwhile, promises supercar performance in a stylish, four-seater soft-top. But the coupe got only a lukewarm reception, so can the Cabriolet do better?
If it's high fashion rather than high performance that floats your boat, then the new VW Beetle Cabriolet could be ideal. Retro lines and VW Golf running gear combine to deliver stylish and sensible wind-in-the-hair thrills.
And no convertible test would be complete without a roadster. The BMW Z4 has been given a mid-life refresh, but has this done enough to lift it above the talented Audi TT?
With summer now in full swing, the charms of a convertible are hard to resist – and our four contenders demonstrate that there should be something for every taste and budget.
The Vauxhall looks good, has a roomy interior and, in entry-level guise, isn't too expensive to run. It's not the most fun car to drive and its cabin can't match those of premium rivals for quality, but it's a capable and composed drop-top.
Buyers wanting more thrills will love the RS5's performance, soundtrack and muscular looks. While it's expensive, only BMW's M3 Convertible comes close to matching its blend of talents.
If you're looking for fun on a smaller budget, then the Beetle is hard to ignore. It looks great, and it's as easy and engaging to drive as a Golf.
Finally, the Z4 has been lifted back into contention by this update. It's still not quite as enjoyable to drive as you'd expect from a BMW roadster, but the new entry-level engine is smooth and reasonably powerful, as well as cost-effective to run.
I like this type of group test occasionally, where the vehicles are similar in some ways, but in others will appeal to completely different buyers
The testers place the Cascada on top with 3 stars. Audi follows with 4 stars, followed by the Beetle with 4 stars and the Z4 is relegated to the bottom with 3 stars.
I've never seen a more messed up road test result ever in my entire life.
Also it struck me that a non-German car had "won". Who would have believed it from AE? The I recalled that it was just as German as the others but with a camouflage name.
None of these cars are rivals to each other they are different price brackets and different customer appeal what a waste of a test - poor
I'm looking forward to the Range Rover Sport vs Rivals, featuring the Ford Focus, Nissan GT-R and VW UP!
I enjoyed my test drive (a SE) so much that I've bought a Cascada! I had an Astra GTE Convertible way back in the late 1980's and although that car was seriously flawed in many ways I loved it. I get my new Cascada 2.0 CDTI Elite in a couple of days time and I can't wait for it to hand me my seat belt which apparently it does all by itself! :-) I think the Cascada should have had a Saab badge on it though, GM really did b*gger up my favourite car make.
Cascada is bigger than it looks

Dec. 23, 2011
Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery
Wisconsin vs. MVSUDec. 23, 2011Kohl Center - Madison, Wis.
Wisconsin Head Coach Bo Ryan On the key to getting to the free throw line: "They were just real physical. They were either going to get you to turn it over or they were going to foul you. So you try to get to the line as many times as you can or take advantage of overplays or things like that. I thought we did a pretty good job of that considering, because it was a game that was played a little bit differently than like what we will see in the league, in the Big Ten. I think we did what we needed to do to close out the non-conference season." On difference between this game and league game: "The size of the team, they are pretty quick at every position, a lot of hands. I think some of their players in the league would have fouled out or be worried about getting certain players in foul trouble, but that wasn't a concern of theirs. They were going to play physical; they were going to use their hands, a lot of bumping and that's okay we've played in those games." On if he was pleased with the non-conference season: "I see some good things. I see some things that I know we will have to get better at, but it's no different than the other seasons I've coached, you take it for what it is. As the song says, `now you know what you don't know.'" On starting conference play with an unfamiliar opponent in Nebraska: "That is kind of interesting that you go on the road. Basketball is a little bit different I think than other sports. That the first game you have is at a place where you haven't been. So it's just like a non-conference game basically. Kind of unfamiliar with the team. It's not like you have past scouting reports. It's not like you have information on players from year to year, so we are going to have to learn in a hurry and they've got to do the same for us. So it is what it is, we play 18 of them. We might as well start in Lincoln."
MVSU Head Coach Sean Woods On the foul difference: "I can't [explain it]. I get a technical just because I reiterated to the referee that the foul discrepancy at that time was 25-12. I have no chance with that. My team has no chance with that. I thought that because this was such a short turn around from the Florida game that my players really did what they were supposed to do defensively. They went to the line. You're not going to beat any Wisconsin team of this magnitude when they're going to the line that much. We have no chance to win or to even stay close."On how difficult it is to play on the road so much:"This has been a whirlwind. I'm giving my guys time off until the 27th and we're not going to practice until the 28th. It's rough, everybody can tell. I'm very proud of my guys. They don't stop playing. They play hard until the last second. When you put so much into something, something good has to come out. Our real goal is to win our league and get to the NCAA tournament. I think we're on the right track to that with the energy and toughness and the experiences we've gone through from Notre Dame until now. We have one more at Iowa State and hopefully we can continue to get through this until Jan. 3 when I play my first home game."On how mentally deflating the stops Wisconsin's defense makes was:"It becomes mentally deflating. The name of the game is basketball and good offense beats good defense any day. When you're not scoring, it deflates you. My guys never stopped playing they got a few back cuts here and there, but for the most part they had to earn to shoot over us. They're bigger than us, but as far as preparing for their stuff, I think we did a good job. Unfortunately, when we get into a one-on-one situation and I think we're playing good defense but we're getting called for fouls, that deflates you. Like I told my guys, we're just going to keep playing. We're going to play until the finish, but we can't control the referees, but what we're looking to do is get better. We're looking at the bigger picture and taking these experiences into our league."
UW Players
Senior G Jordan Taylor On the team's record after non-conference play: "I think we expected to be 13-0, thought we were going to be 13-0. The two games we lost obviously tough games, but I think we responded to that tough week in a good way and learned some new things that were positive and negative."
On his shooting today: "I just have to keep shooting. Everybody hits rough patches I think I had more of a glaring rough patch than others maybe. But I think the key is, like Ben (Brust) said a couple weeks ago, with shooting amnesia, just keep shooting. Just keep working hard when you're not at practice or in the game, and try to correct things that you need to. Let it fly."
Sophomore G Josh Gasser On the team's record after non-conference play: "We always go in looking like we are going to win every game and that was our mindset going into the season. We won the Chicago tournament and that was one of our goals, so that was a nice one to get. The two games we lost, we played alright and learned a lot like Jordan (Taylor) said. We definitely take things from both our wins and our losses."
On going 31-44 from the free throw line tonight: "The 44 [is good], but the 31, we could get that a little higher I think. We knew they would pressure us like they did, to offset that we just have to drive hard into them and get to the free throw line. We did that. We'd like to shoot a little higher percentage like I said, but it's definitely good to get to the line a little more and pound the post with (Jared) Berggren and Ryan (Evans) and those guys. So, it's definitely good to see."
On the Devils' hands-on defense: "They just wanted to get up and pressure us and make it difficult for us to get a flow in our offense. I guess they did a good job of that and forced us to the line to make free throws. We made some, but it's definitely a different team than what we are used to."
Junior F Jared Berggren On playing a Big Ten team that they have never faced (Nebraska): "It is definitely a little bit different, usually in the Big Ten you know the guys and know what they run for the most part, things like that. But with Nebraska being there first time in, first time facing them, it is a little bit more unknown. It almost feels more like a non-conference game right now, to where you're not entirely sure what they are going to do. But I'm sure our coaches have been working hard in the scouting report and getting stuff ready. When we come back on Christmas and get to practice, we will learn what we are going to do and prepare for them."

While much ado is made about the ASA's history as a rejected Ferrari project, the cars certainly stand on their own in terms of both styling and performance. This 1965 ASA 1000 GT for sale on Hemmings.com features a 20-year-old restoration and a recent servicing, which should allow for the "Ferrarina" to be enjoyed as it was originally meant to be – on the road. From the seller's description:
The example I am proud to offer here is one of fixed-head versions and looks great from most angles. The original numbers-matching car was subject to a complete restoration on the East Coast back in 1991-1993. After completion, the car participated in two New England 1000 Road Rallies where the car performed flawlessly. The car was subsequently sold to the previous owner in 1996 here in California, where it spent much of its life garaged by its big brother, a beautiful Ferrari Lusso. After 15 years of hibernation, I have brought this fantastic car back to life. Although the restoration is 20 years old, it still presents well overall. The overall paint quality would be considered drivers status with minor flaws (minor bubbling due to prep flaws and minor chips from 20 years of life) the paint still has great shine and will hold its own at any Cars and Coffee. The trim and chrome looks near new, the interior still looks fresh with the leather soft and undamaged. All the Jaeger gauges function properly other than the clock. Car has just been inspected and serviced by a well respected shop in Los Angeles, Alfa Italia which included: a complete flushing of the fuel, cooling and brake systems, a complete rebuild of the Weber carbs, new stainless exhaust, new axle seals and front wheel bearings, brand new period tires, a valve adjustment and, of course, fresh fluids throughout.

Hobbyists May Be Banned From Buying Paint
If you're planning on refinishing your car somewhere down the line, you might want to think about buying your paint today.
Addressing the Collision Industry Conference on November 1, 2005, held at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Los Vegas in conjunction with the SEMA show, EPA Environmental Protection Surface Coating Specialist Kim Teal outlined some of her agency's plans for their next air-pollution rule from automotive surface coating.
The last version of this rule, issued in February 2004, was focused primarily on bodyshops, but the new regulations, scheduled for release in 2007 and adoption in August 2011, are far more sweeping.
"The rule will impact everyone, no matter how much you use," she is reported as saying in Automotive Body Repair News. That may have a major effect on the hobby, as "the rule will attempt to restrict sales of paint to people who are not certified users."
This language has some powerful support. In a letter to Teal dated October 26, 2005, representatives from the Automotive Service Association (ASA) and National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), recommended steps that sound uncannily like Teal's remarks just a few days later.
The letter, which suggests measures to be
incorporated in the proposed rule, suggests that "Prospective purchasers and users of automotive refinishing products would need to be employed by a certified shop…Clearly, reasonable controls on the purchase and use of automotive refinishing products is key to helping eliminate unnecessary VOC emissions…"
We'll let you draw your own conclusions about the EPA's, ASA's and NADA's intentions, but if there was ever a piece of car-related legislation about which to write your legislator, this is it. Kim Teal's contact information can be found at www.epa.gov and your legislators at www.senate.gov and www.house.gov. The original letter from ASA and NADA is available at www.asashop.org.

Toshiba Introduces Two 750GB, One 1TB HDDs
"Japanese tech major Toshiba today took its storage devices line-up a step further with the release of its largest-ever 2.5in hard drives."
Published: 25th March 2010 | Source: Toshiba Storage |
Japanese tech major Toshiba today took its storage devices line-up a step further with the release of its largest-ever 2.5in hard drives. Dubbed the MK7559GSXP and the MKxx59GSM series drives, the new HDDs come in 750GB and 1TB storage capacities respectively.
The smaller of the new drives – the 750GB MK7559GSXP is constructed on just two platters and is 9.5mm thick. It features an areal density of 541.4G bit/in2, which is amongst the best in its category. It comes with an 8MB buffer and runs at 5,400rpm to deliver an average seek time of around 12ms.
The second HDD line-up of the day – the MKxx59GSM series has been introduced with one 750GB and one 1TB drive respectively. These drives will be thicker compared to the MK7559GSXP drive and will use three platters. The added platter makes the drives 12.5in thick, which effectively puts them out of range for most current notebooks and netbooks. These drives would however, be great options for external storage solutions. Both drives run at 5,400rpm, have an 8MB buffer, and can deliver seek time of 12ms on average.
Toshiba plans to start shipping the MK7559GSXP drives in 3Q 2010, while the MKxx59GSM series drives will start rolling out in the second quarter of the year. Pricing on all drives has not been confirmed.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - Inspection reports obtained by Nine Wants to Know show health department closures at a major D.C. hospital, in Adams Morgan, in Montgomery County and in Eastern Market with violations ranging from mice and roaches to licensing.
Suspension inside hospital
Inside Sibley Memorial Hospital inspectors cited 9 violations at an Au Bon Pain kiosk -including chicken salad and grilled chicken out of safe temperature range, no proof on workers' transmittable disease status, and operating without a manager certified in food safety.
"That was not the reason for the closing," said Amanda Brown, spokewoman for Sibley's food contractor, Eurest. "All items cited on the report have been rectified."
In a report released to WUSA 9, the District of Columbia Health Department specified the reason for closure as "operating a food establishment without a valid license issued by the mayor. "
Although the other violations are noted on the same inspection report from Sibley's Au Bon Pain Kiosk, in Eurest's statement, Brown stated the closure was soley "due to lack of business license and not due to any sanitation or food related issues."
Roaches in doughnut equipment
At Yummy Donuts, 7244 Muncaster Mill Rd, Derwood, Md., when wearrived, customers were praising the taste and wiping crumbs from theirface.
Inspectors cited roaches in the doughnut equipment, mice feces on the floor and walls, and a fly infestation in the kitchen.
"They were pretty good in hindsight, I don't know," said one customer after seeing the violations.
"It's probably some sort of misunderstood," said Yummy owner Yanny Bender. "Well, we have to work more on that."
Bender said workers missed health department deadlines, because they took extra days to clean.
Inspectionreports indicate health officials had identified many of the sameproblems in a previous inspection and warned the donut store to correctthe mouse, roach, and fly problems.
Bender said they were working to comply when inspectors returned.
"That'swhy when they say we're going to open in five days, we're take an extrafew days to complete with rules and regulations we have to do it,"Bender said.
She said they're making changes and improving food safety.
Adams Morgan suspension
In Adam's Morgan, inspectors suspended Bistro 18, 2420 18th St. NW, citing rats rummaging in outside trash, no certified food safety manager and operating without hot water.
Inspectors also closed Fasil Ethiopian, 1608 7Th St. NW, for no hot water. At the address cited in the suspension, signage identifies the restaurant as Uptown Ethiopian. A manager said the restaurant is licensed under the name Fasil.
Eastern Market Closure
In Eastern Market, at Tunnicliff's Tavern, 222 7th St. SE, inspectors cited roaches, mice and workers touched ready to eat food with bare hands.
The manager of Tunnicliffs declined an interview, but he did invite 9 Wants to Know inside, behind the bar, and into the kitchen.
We observed no signs of mice or roaches and identified no violations.
Inspectors shut down food service inside Montana Liquors on Montana Avenue, 1801 Montana Ave NE , citing vermin and no hot water.
Logan Circle closure
In Logan Circle, at Caribou Coffee, 1400 14Th St. NW , the health department cited roaches and 8 other violations in a suspension.
Yummy's passed re-inspection as did the others and they're all back in business.

White House, Top Lawmakers Hold Late-Night Meeting on Financial Bill
WASHINGTON—Top Obama administration officials held a closed-door strategy meeting Thursday night with key Democrats to plot the final stages of the year-long effort to rework financial rules.
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, and several others met for more than an hour in a second-floor hearing room with House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D., Mass.) and Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd (D., Conn.). They plotted strategy and the political and policy decisions looming in the next week.
"There was no back-room deal cut here, " Mr. Frank said in a hallway interview after the meeting. "This was a meeting to strategize about common goals."
Joining Mr. Geithner were Treasury Deputy Secretary Neal Wolin and Treasury Assistant Secretary Michael Barr. The mood appeared amicable. Game seven of the NBA finals was on a television in the background, and several times laughter spilled into the hallway, apparently once in response to a joke from Mr. Frank.
It was "kind of a general conversation, no issues were resolved," Mr. Dodd said in an interview. They discussed things stand and what lawmakers and their staffs have to do over the weekend, he said.
Messrs. Frank and Dodd, as well as their House and Senate colleagues, have spent the past three days trying to reconcile competing versions of financial overhaul bills that separately passed the House and Senate. They reached agreement on some key issues, such as deposit insurance, but they remain at loggerheads on others, including capital requirements for banks and how to regulate the payment systems money flows through.
Messrs. Frank and Dodd have tried to steer clear of political landmines during the negotiations, but the left and centrist wings of their party are beginning to pull the financial bill in different directions. They can't afford to lose many votes, and political calculations are being made about what changes they can afford and what changes they can't.
Many expected a controversial amendment by Sen. Susan Collins (R., Maine) dictating bank capital rules to be stripped out of the final compromise. But in recent days the provision picked up a surprising support. It's unclear whether top Democrats and the administration will try to remove it or narrow its focus. Ms. Collins's vote is crucial, as she is one of just four Republicans in the Senate who agreed to vote for the bill. Losing her backing could jeopardize the entire bill.
House and Senate aides and administration officials are expected to confer throughout the weekend to try and resolve some of the issues including how to treat Ms. Collins's amendment. They are also still debating how to construct large-bank supervisory rules and what sorts of voting rights to give shareholders of public companies.
Next week some of the more controversial issues will also be tackled, including derivatives regulation and consumer protection rules. Lawmakers and administration officials hope to have the bill signed into law by July 4.
Mr. Geithner and his Treasury colleagues have made occasional visits to the Hill and have an open dialogue with Messrs. Frank and Dodd. Mr. Emanuel's presence at the meeting reflects the significance the White House has placed on new financial rules, as it could be the last major piece of legislation to move through Congress this year.
When asked if the administration officials raised any concerns during the meeting, Mr. Frank interjected: "Everybody's got concerns, but we're all working for the same thing."
Despite the long nights this week, the lawmakers appeared to still have their sense of humor, and Mr. Frank appeared in no rush to go home.
"You can tell your editorial board I'm not yet through saving the world," he said.

Dean's talk highlights Downtown Center
Patricia Wallace Ingraham, dean of the College of Community and Public Affairs, speaks to members of the Harpur Forum during a special session held Jan. 15 in the University Downtown Center.
Patricia Wallace Ingraham, dean of the College of Community and Public Affairs, welcomed members of the Harpur Forum to the University Downtown Center for a Jan. 15 presentation. Her talk was followed by tours of the $29 million facility, which opened last August.
Ingraham drew parallels between the founding of what is now Binghamton University and the founding of CCPA. Triple Cities College, the precursor to Harpur College, began with about 800 students, a similar number to CCPA's enrollment.
The college includes the Department of Human Development, the Department of Public Administration and the Department of Social Work. Pending state approval, the Student Affairs Administration Program will also be part of the college.
Ingraham spoke about the school's unusual focus on local government. "If local government does not work, government does not work," she said. "This is the foundation."
She also emphasized the University's contributions to Greater Binghamton's economy. "Binghamton University is a major economic force," she said.
The dean said it may be 18 to 24 months before the UDC's true impact can be gauged. In the meantime, though, the facility is already drawing 1,200 students a week, as many as 500 in a day. About 1,000 community members came through the building in its first four months.
Ingraham shared her excitement about the school's future, noting there's room for growth in CCPA's academic programs. A doctoral program in public administration and a bachelor's degree in social work would be logical next steps, she said.
|Harpur Forum meets March 28
The Harpur Forum's next meeting will be a March 28 breakfast program featuring James R. Tallon, president of the United Hospital Fund of New York.
Tallon, a former state assemblyman, will speak about health care at 8 a.m. at The Binghamton Club; breakfast begins at 7:30.
To RSVP or for more information, call the Harpur Forum at 777-4390 or e-mail email@example.com.

For Orioles fans, an exhilarating opening-weekend sweep of the reigning AL champion Tampa Bay Rays was punctuated by the highly anticipated debut of Zach Britton. The rookie left-hander worked six innings on Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out six to win his first Major League game.
The start was something of an event for many evaluators who have tracked Britton's progression through the minors. Several national analysts generated some interesting discussion on Twitter during the game. I couldn't help but give pause, however, when noticing Keith Law's assertion that "working against Britton's numbers this year [is] Baltimore's defense."
Law's assessment deserves some attention. Just how efficient should we expect Baltimore's defenders, about a third of whom are new additions, to be this year,and just what kind of impact might that have on the numbers of Mr. Britton, the rookie ground-ball-machine?
Measuring defensive efficiency has been considered notoriously tricky since long before Bill James nearly wrote off the task in the seventies. Still, through extensive work and fortuitous technological advances, some very smart people have devised several 'advanced' defensive metrics over the past decade. It is debatable whether the payoff from these metrics is correctly proportional to the amount of effort requisite for their genesis, but statistics like UZR clearly seem to be, at the very least, a vast improvement over concepts like fielding percentage.
As I see it, there are two issues central to all defensive metrics. The first is descriptive: just how accurate are the metrics? Run prevention is an intricate tango between pitchers and their defenders, and separating the performance of one from the other has been the damning charge on defensive measurement since its first crude attempts. This issue has been and will continue to be tackled elsewhere, but it falls outside of the scope of this column. Suffice it to say that I consider Ultimate Zone Rating, Total Zone, and Dewan's DRS to be the three most accurate assessments of defensive performance to date. Conveniently, they each purport to do about the same thing (assess how many runs a player prevents compared to the average defender, adjusted for position), so I'll use them in this analysis.
The second issue with defensive metrics is inferential: even if we can be sure about the accuracy of our measurements, how useful are they in predicting future performance? Not very, as it turns out. Numbers for each of the aforementioned measurement systems frequently see wild swings from season to season. Part of this may be due to the fact that defensive data derived from a sample size of a season or less are not terribly reliable. It's best to look at aggregates consisting of three seasons or more, as we do see some mean regression over the long term. Part of the problem, though, is that defensive performance itself seems to be highly volatile. Pick any sort of defensive measurement you can find and you'll probably see more variance from season to season than you would with most offensive metrics. It may simply be the case that pure defensive talent doesn't correlate as strongly with runs prevented as offensive talent does with runs added. It might not sound pleasant, but defensive production seems to be heavily contingent on opportunity and circumstance. The best method for inference is to attempt to find a player's 'mean' production, consider his age and position, and assume a high standard deviation.
Let's take a look at three year aggregates* of Baltimore's starting eight:
|UZR Average
|TZ Average
|DRS Average
|Aggregate Average
|Matt Wieters
|Derrek Lee
|Brian Roberts
|Mark Reynolds
|J.J. Hardy
|Nick Markakis
|Adam Jones
|Luke Scott
* I should make a few notes here. The numbers posted, with the exception of those of Matt Wieters and Luke Scott, are averages from 2008-2010. Wieters only has two seasons of data from which to pull and Scott has only had scarce playing time in the field over the last two seasons. Wieters' averages are from 2009-2010 and Scott's are from 2006-2008.
These numbers are descriptions of past performance, not projections. That is an important distinction to make. Still, the eight starting defenders on the Orioles' current roster have combined for a positive net gain in run prevention over the average team. Of course, Brian Roberts has nagging back issues, Luke Scott has been a DH for the past two years, and both join Derrek Lee in the wrong-side-of-thirty club, so we shouldn't expect any of them to be as good as they have been in the past. At the same time, Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, Mark Reynolds, J.J. Hardy and Matt Wieters are in their athletic primes. While Roberts and Lee have seen negative trends in advanced metrics, Mark Reynolds (labeled previously by Law as a "brutal defensive player") is trending upward.
Given the uncertainties and volatility involved in defense and its metrics, drawing inferences from these numbers is messy. Nonetheless, it's hard to find compelling evidence that Baltimore's defensive performance should be significantly below average in 2011. Britton, if healthy and on the roster for the entirety of the season, should pitch about one-eighth to one-ninth of the team's innings. Assuming that the team is somewhere between 30 runs below and 30 runs above average, Britton shouldn't lose more than a few runs more than he would given an average defense. He might gain a few. At the end of the day, it doesn't seem likely that Baltimore's defensive efficiency will have much of an impact on Britton's success in 2011.

I cornt believe it: the 12th Man's tribute to Tony Greig
- From: News Corp Australia newspapers
- January 01, 2013
COMEDIAN Billy Birmingham remembers the "morvellous" man he famously sent up as The 12th Man.
I CORNT believe it.
Tony Greig, our cricketing giant, is no longer with us.
I too want to pass on my thoughts and prayers to his wife Vivian and family, and to the Channel 9 commentary team, who have been such a central part of so many lives every summer, especially mine.
I'm only new to Twitter but I was flooded with messages as the news broke on Saturday afternoon.
People were tweeting me saying they were sitting around having a few beers in honour of Greigy listening to their 12th Man CDs and sending me their favourite lines.
"Blow it out your orse Boll," was chief amongst them, capturing the essence of the rivalry between Tony and his old "sporring portner" Bill Lawry.
Have your say

Wonderful memories Mr Birmingham, and a nice send off. I fell apart laughing the first time I heard the 12th Man, and it's very much a favoured play if I need a lift.

Me and my mate Davo use to know every album, word for word, we used to work together and imitate all of the commentry team, and incorporate lines from the album into everyday use. It was a challenge for us to use a line from one of the albums during a meeting or something like that, We use to piss ourselves laughing. It was hard to see Greigy on the tv and not imitate him, he will be missed by many. RIP TG

To take away stress and tension I remove myself from the situation by walking with Sparkie my puppy. Long walks soothe us both. Some how the fresh air and time spent with a friend makes for a better day. Unconditional Love can do wonders for ones morale
Since one trigger of over-eating or mindless eating is stress, find ways to reduce stress. For me, one way has been to simplify my life, know what is most important to me and devote my time to those pursuits. As I find I have more time, I can incorporate more, but for now, I need to stay pretty basic. For me, my priorities are ME (my studies and my health) and my family. When I feel more balanced I'd like to get back into some of my other interests.
Instead of searching for the parking space closest to the door, look for a spot furthest away. I find it less stressful and a few more steps couldn't hurt.
I find that being organized equals less stress.

Replacement Battery for Nikon EN-EL3
Comments about Digital Concepts Digital Concepts BP-100CL Lithium-Ion Battery Replaces Nikon EN-EL3:
I wanted a spare battery for my Nikon D-90. The battery that was sold to me looks very similar to the one that came with my camera, but it is not the same and gets stuck in my camera and had to be pried out. My camera battery shows EN-EL3e on the back and the one that was sold to me was an ENEL3 (the one shown above). I live over 100 miles away from the camera store so it was not possible for me to return. Don't get this battery for your Nikon D-90, it won't work.

Comments about Digital Concepts Digital Concepts BP-100CL Lithium-Ion Battery Replaces Nikon EN-EL3:
I bought this battery as a back-up to the battery that came with my Nikon D70 camera, assuming it would be an inferior product- either charging slower or running out of power faster. But I have found that it is of equal quality to the battery that Nikon provided in the original package. I intend to buy another one from the same company for my new camera.

The light opera masterworks of Gilbert and Sullivan, by contrast, are much more stylistically demanding than either of the afore-mentioned operas . . . yet even these two great masters have not been immune to prejudice.ξIn fact, this comic opera inferiority complex played an important role in Gilbert and Sullivan's often tempestuous relationship, with ξSir Arthur Sullivan eager to distance himself from the comic operettas that had made him and W.S. Gilbert so famous.
Just prior to leaving England for his summer stint in Houston to direct and star in the Houston Gilbert and Sullivan Society's production of Yeomen of the Guard, G&S scholar Alistair Donkin took time to shed more light on Gilbert and Sullivan's divergent ambitions.ξExplains Donkin: "It is clear from the many resource books on the subject of Gilbert and Sullivan's stormy partnership that they were very different animals indeed. ξGilbert had a fixation for the so-called "Lozenge plot" whereby the characters are altered by some potion or other device changing their behavior, and only being corrected in the last moments of the opera. ξSullivan, whilst enjoying the financial fruits of his labors in the Savoy Operas [so named for the theater built to perform them], yearned to write a serious piece and was in fact urged to do so later in life by Queen Victoria herself. ξD'Oyly Carte [the impresario who brought Gilbert and Sullivan together] actually built The Royal English Opera House (renamed the Palace Theatre) in London expressly for the opera Ivanhoe written by Sullivan.ξIt was only the suggestion of the plot of Yeomenξby Gilbert to Sullivan which saved the situation. ξBut even days before the opening performanceξGilbert was so unsure of what they had created that he was still insisting to Sullivan on changes.
So how did the two partners resolve their differences?ξ"This was resolved to some extent by the writing of The Gondoliers," says Donkin, "in which the premise of 'Two Kings rule jointly' refers directly to the two partners. ξEach deferred to the other and was equally generous in praise of the other's work.ξHowever this happiness did not last many days after the opening of Gondoliers due to a quarrel, of all things, about the re-carpeting of the Savoy Theatre by D'Oyly Carte. ξSullivan took D'Oyly Carte's side in the argument and Gilbert stormed out of the meeting set to resolve things, calling them Blackguards! ξThey were not to work together again for many years and when they did for Utopia Limited and The Grand Duke it was clear that, despite some musical gems, they had lost that spark which made them so so great."
Small wonder, then, that works like Utopia Limited and The Grand Duke have gone out of the standard Gilbert and Sullivan repertoire.ξ
The Gilbert and Sullivan Society's 2008 production, Yeomen of the Guard, is noted as the pair's "darkest" work.ξIs that due to Sullivan trying to take them in a more serious direction?ξ"I think Yeomen is dark due to it's setting in the infamous Tower of London rather than a deliberate attempt at its inception to make it so," responded Alistair Donkin.ξξ"Mind you, it did give Sullivan an opportunity for more "grand" music with its pomp and ceremony."
"It is, of course, strange to say the least that a so-called comic opera should have a tragic ending," Donkin continues, "and there has been endless speculation over the years as to what exactly Gilbert intended as the Curtain falls. The stage direction for the character Jack Point is that "he falls insensible at her (Elsie's) feet. The assumption is that he is to faint, but it is said that one of the touring companies, shortly after the opera was premiered, had a variation done without sanction by the actor playing the role.ξUnlike the established performer in the London Production, he had no reputation as a comic actor to maintain, and quite clearly "died" at this point rather than fainted. The Touring Company Manager contacted Gilbert for a ruling on this but Gilbert's response having seen it played this way was 'It is just what I want. ξJack Point should die and the end of the opera should be a tragedy.' ξHowever the stage direction was never altered and it has thus been debated for many, many years. ξI play it as a death, since to my mind the music itself swells to a climax and crushes Point into the stage."
There are six performances of Yeomen of the Guard by Houston's Gilbert and Sullivan Society in the Wortham Center's Cullen Theater: July 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, and 27, 2008.ξ

World Health Organization 'taking cash handouts from fast-food industry'

The World Health Organisation, which bills itself as 'impartial', has been taking hundreds of thousands of pounds from the fast-food industry to help fill black holes in its budget to tackle obesity, it has emerged.
WHO works on behalf of 194 nations to tackle disease like malaria and AIDS but also battle on-going problems like diabetes and heart disease caused by chronic problems like obesity.
But now it has emerged that WHO's regional office, which is tasked with fighting obesity in places like Mexico which has the world's highest rate of obese and overweight adults, has been taking hand-outs from the fast-food industry.

Journal Sentinel book editor Jim Higgins highlights things worth reading, in print and online
Milwaukee native Theoharis wins NAACP Image Award for Rosa Parks bio
Jeanne Theoharis, a professor of political science at Brooklyn College who grew up in the Milwaukee area, won an NAACP Image Award Saturday night for her biography "The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks" (Beacon Press).
Her book topped the Outstanding Literary Work - Biography / Autobiography category, which included some famous competition: Maya Angelou's memoir "Mom & Me & Mom," and biographies of Charlie Parker and Duke Ellington by Stanley Crouch and Terry Teachout. M.K. Asante's "Buck: A Memoir" was the fifth nominee.
Parks (1913-2005) was the African-American woman arrested on Dec. 1, 1955, for refusing to obey a bus driver's order to give up her seat to a white passenger. Her arrest triggered a bus boycott in Montgomery and made Parks one of the icons of the civil rights movement.
Theoharis' book stresses that Parks was a lifelong activist. "The variety of struggles that Parks took part in, the ongoing nature of the campaign against racial injustice, the connection between Northern and Southern racism that she recognized, and the variety of Northern and Southern movements in which she engaged have been given short shrift in her iconization," she writes in her introduction to the book.
"10 Things You Didn't Know About Rosa Parks," a Huffington Post article that Theoharis spun off from the book, disclosed that Parks had been kicked off a bus by the same driver a dozen years earlier; that Malcolm X was her hero, and she met him several times in the '60s; and that she spent more than half of her life in the North.
Her father Athan Theoharis is an emeritus professor of history at Marquette, and a nationally renowned scholar of the FBI and American surveillance of its own citizens.
In her acknowledgments, Jeanne Theoharis thanks her father and her mother Nancy for proofreading her book.

after the first set of anchors you will need (2) .75, .5, and a .4
to get you to the second set of anchors..
Earlier this summer I blew it clipping the 2nd anchor. my last piece (.4) just after the 2nd roof blew out some rock, so now it may be easier clipping the anchor because you now have a foot to tiptoe on(its still the crux!)....needless to say it was a fun, safe, scary, clean whipper

|fun climb- 2 camalots protect the first pitch to the roof. I don't think 1 camalots are neccesary. After the roof you could place some 1 camalots in pods- but you'll probably want you hands in there. Otherwise they (1 camalots) are too tight- 2 friends are best.

Corynn Stratton Demonstrated Leadership Following Mumbai Attacks
Diplomatic Security Special Agent Stratton (center) is presented with the Women In Federal Law Enforcement Foundation (WIFLE) Julie Y. Cross International Award by WIFLE President Margaret Moore (left) and WIFLE Vice President Monica Blodgett Rocchio (right), July 13, 2009.
(Photo courtesy of WIFLE)
Corynn L. Stratton, a Florida native and graduate of Melbourne High School, and now a special agent for the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, has been selected to receive the Julie Y. Cross Award – International Award by the Women in Federal Law Enforcement (WIFLE) Foundation.
Special Agent Stratton, 30, was one of 17 female federal law enforcement officers honored this year for superior performance. The awards ceremony was held on June 17, at the Westin LaPaloma Hotel, Tucson, Arizona.
In November 2008, Special Agent Stratton, while assigned to the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Consulate, Mumbai (formerly called Bombay), India, was the Acting Regional Security Officer in charge at the time that ten terrorists attacked three hotels, a Jewish community center, and the train station. The attack ultimately resulted in the deaths of 180 people, including six Americans.
According to the after-action report, Stratton directed the security for all Consulate employees, ensured that all U.S. government facilities were adequately protected, while maintaining close coordination with the Consulate community and local law enforcement agencies. According to the report, "Special Agent Stratton worked for the next 60 hours, with little or no sleep, dealing with a chaotic, ever-changing terrorist attack that soon evolved into a hostage crisis. While focusing on the crisis, Special Agent Stratton also ensured that the Consulate community remained updated on what actions to take during this unfolding crisis. It was a bravura performance by one of DS's finest officers."
Stratton is the daughter of Gail Green and Kerry Cushman, and a 1996 graduate of Melbourne High School. She is married to Bill Stratton, also of Melbourne. She received a B.A. in International Relations from the University of Florida and an M.A. in National Security from Georgetown University in 2002.
In 2004, Stratton became a Special Agent for the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security. Since then, she has been assigned to the Bureau's New York Field Office, the U.S. Embassy, Beijing, China, and the U.S. Consulate, Mumbai, India. Her next assignment will be Algiers, Algeria. Stratton was recognized in 2007 with the Meritorious Group Honor Award "for exceptional devotion to duty and superb teamwork during the construction of the new embassy compound in Beijing."
