Karuizawa 1983 (cask #7576)
Tasting notes by Ruben Luyten - Posted in * Japan
I have quite a few Karuizawa samples waiting on my desk, so we better move forward and start with this Karuizawa 1983 Noh, bottled last year. Not exactly a summer malt but we're not complaining.
Karuizawa 28 yo 1983 'Noh'
(57,2%, No.1 Drinks 2012, sherry butt #7576, 571 btl.)
Nose: beautiful Karuizawa elements come out right away. Mocha beans and chocolate, figs and cherries, as well as some tobacco. Lacquered meat. Raisins. Liquorice. Also a dryness of black tea and leather. Hints of mint and plenty of polished sandalwood. Very expressive and well balanced. Mouth: powerful, this time very much on cigar leaves and pipe tobacco. Very concentrated notes of forest fruits, red berries and prunes. Goes on with nice bonfire smoke and earthy notes. A bitterness of mint stems, walnut skin and wood. Eucalyptus. Then back to sweeter toffee, balsamic syrup and cough sweets. Finish: long, fruity and nutty. Milk chocolate. Liquorice and plenty of herbal notes.
Another one of these very intense Karuizawa expressions that still manage to keep the rich balance between sweet, sour and savoury notes perfectly right. As small extras there are peaty notes and the classic exotic woods. Quite wonderful. Long gone.
Score: 93/100

subset: commoncrawl

WOODS HOLE — Light doesn't penetrate below 600 feet. Nearly 1� miles down, it's pitch black and the water temperature hovers just above freezing at a little over 39 degrees. Water pressure is a crushing 3,481 pounds per square inch. Few people would expect that anything could live in that environment, let alone something beautiful. Even fewer would believe that it would be coral, something most people associate with a snorkeling vacation in warm, tropical waters.
Deep-water coral is a lot harder to find and study than its Caribbean and South Pacific counterparts. It took scientists Martha Nizinski and Anna Metaxas two years to mount an expedition to the eastern edge of Georges Bank and the Gulf of Maine to study these colonial animals that feed on the detritus that rains down on them from above.
Metaxas, a professor of oceanography at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia and Nizinski, from the National Marine Fisheries Service science center in Woods Hole, will depart on the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration's research vessel Henry B. Bigelow Wednesday on a two-week joint venture between Canadian and U.S. scientists. Although the actual mission is scientific research into the habitat and biology of these deep-sea communities, Nizinski and Metaxas hope their findings will help inform both countries' efforts at protecting these ancient and fragile colonial animals.
They have both seen the damage caused by fishing trawls. The existence of these corals, which live in depths from 600 feet to 8,200 feet, has been known for centuries because fishermen encountered them as early as the 1800s. When fishermen reported hauling up trees from the ocean bottom, it was likely they were bringing up coral, said Metaxas. It was Canadian fishermen who noticed they were snagging a lot of coral in their nets more than a decade ago in an area off Georges Bank known as the Northeast Channel. The Canadian government eventually closed the area to fishing in 2002. Outside that protected area there is little left but debris-covered rubble, the two scientists said.
The scientists believe the species was once much more widespread than it is now. It is still found in the Atlantic from south of Africa on up into Arctic waters, and sporadically along the West Coast and a few spots off Australia. They grow slowly, less than a half inch to 4 inches a year. The most common types branch into large fans over 6 feet high and hundreds to 10,000 years old, located in groves or thickets with about 4 to 10 feet separating each coral.
"The ocean bottom is flat, brown, you might see a sea urchin, a starfish," Metaxas said. "You hit a coral thicket and its completely different. There's a lot of life."
"The colors are amazing," Nizinski said. "Pink, red, purple, orange."
Sadly, there's also a surprising amount of human trash down there, plastics, even deck chairs, the scientists said.
Like the deep ocean habitat in which they live, little is known about the biology, reproduction, or feeding process of these corals. They lack the symbiotic algae that, through photosynthesis, provide food for many shallow water corals. But, like deep sea thermal vents, they are able to thrive in adverse conditions and provide shelter and food for a number of species including redfish, shrimp, lobster, sponges, starfish, urchins, crabs, worms and other creatures that live in these groves, which can be a startling oasis of life in what scientists once thought was a desert.
At the heart of the mission is a large Canadian-built remotely operated underwater vehicle known as ROPOS — Remote Operated Platform for Ocean Science — which cost a couple of million dollars to build and measures 7 feet tall by 9 feet long and 5 feet wide. Last week, the ROV and its winch and gear were trucked across the country to Woods Hole in three trailer trucks.
The ROV is equipped with five thrusters, 10 cameras, two robotic arms that can be outfitted with a variety of tools, and bristles with scientific equipment. It can lift the equivalent of 10,000 pounds in water, and can work around the clock day after day.
Equally sophisticated is the Bigelow, a 208-foot-long research vessel launched in 2005, that will serve as the mother ship for the ROPOS and a team of scientists. It is in constant demand, and trips are already booked into December 2015. This expedition is focused on the steep-sided walls of ocean canyons where swift currents sweep marine snow — decayed organic matter, the final bits of dead animals and plant material that can take weeks to reach the bottom — onto the corals' extended tentacles.
On Wednesday, the Bigelow will steam for 20 hours to reach the first site, Nigren Canyon, 160 miles east of Cape Cod. It takes two hours for ROPOS, protected inside a steel cage, to be lowered to the bottom of a deep site like Nigren. Tethered to the ship by 18,000 feet of thick steel cable and a winch that can lift 14 tons, the 5� ton ROV will skim at 2 mph along a preprogrammed route, about 3 feet off the ocean floor. The cable transmits 3,000 volts of electrical power and is stuffed with fiber-optic cables feeding information to its sensors and relaying commands from its pilots and navigators. Sonar cuts through the inky black, seeking out obstacles in its path.
Like a man walking a dog, the Bigelow follows the ROV's lead, the ship's sophisticated combination of thrusters and propellers linked to a satellite positioning system that figures out the correct speed and heading. ROPOS first conducts a relatively quick survey along a programmed path, as a scientist, three pilots and a navigator monitor its progress on two long walls of flat-screen monitors.
It then retraces the track, stopping to collect samples as directed by scientists. That process will be repeated over and over as the vehicle works its way, row by preprogrammed row, across the ocean floor.
ROPOS is really a small laboratory, explained Nizinski, that can capture a three-dimensional picture of the deep sea coral community in just minutes of sampling at each location.
Working 12-hour shifts seated at long desks crammed with computers and studded with joysticks and keyboards, one pilot "flies" the ROV, while the navigator keeps the vehicle on track and the two other pilots work the gear. The twin manipulator arms, which are powerful enough to lift 600 pounds, are also capable of handling small fragile specimens. Metaxas said the arms can break off inch-long pieces of coral and place them into individual containers. A plankton net collects samples of marine life, including larval coral, while a suction device gently plucks organisms off the branches for analysis later. The ROV also takes core samples of the ocean bottom, usually a muck of marine snow that can accumulate 6 feet every million years. High-definition video and still cameras record everything.
This represents a great leap forward from the time when samples were retrieved from fishing nets and stored in museums with little information other than a rough guess at where they were caught and how deep, Nizinski said.
The team of scientists hopes to sample four sites, travelling 600 miles from Woods Hole to Georges Bank, up to Maine and then back to the Bigelow's home base in Newport, Rhode Island.
Although they have been on many such trips to study these coral, there is always something new, a new species to discover, or an unusual sight, like the swordfish whacking a squid senseless with its bill and then eating it.
"Every deployment, there's something that makes you say 'Wow,' Nizinski said.

LONDON -- The Vikings' defensive backfield faces an uncertain week with injuries to cornerbacks Chris Cook and A.J. Jefferson, plus safety Jamarca Sanford, who will be grounded for the team's first overseas practice in preparation for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Magnetic resonance imaging exams did not reveal serious structural damage to Cook's groin, Jefferson's ankle or Sanford's hamstring. However, coach Leslie Frazier said Tuesday the trio would not practice Wednesday and would be monitored each day to determine their availability.
"We're probably going to have to hold them out to see if we can get them out there on Thursday," Frazier said during a break in the team's goodwill coaching clinic outside Wembley Stadium.
Cook and Sanford, both starters, each said they were looking forward to practicing at some point this week but deferred to the training staff and their rehabilitation.
"I don't really know where I stand right now," said Cook. "It's nothing major, but it's wait and see."
Cook was injured during Minnesota's first defensive series of Sunday's loss to Cleveland. Jefferson replaced him and immediately was burned in coverage by Browns star receiver Josh Gordon for a 47-yard touchdown catch before suffering an ankle injury.
Sanford pulled his hamstring early in the second half.
"We're just going to wait and take it day-by-day," he said.
Cleveland's third-string quarterback, Brian Hoyer, torched the Vikings for 321 yards and three touchdown passes in a 31-27 victory.
Third-string cornerback Marcus Sherels acquitted himself nicely in Cook's absence against the Browns, who went after a supposed weak spot. He was targeted 18 times but only allowed nine receptions for 50 yards, with a pass defense, according to Pro Football Focus.
Besides punt returning, Sherels has proven reliable in spot duty in the secondary. But his diminutive stature (5 feet 10, 175 pounds) does not make him ideal to cover opponents' top outside receivers.
Xavier Rhodes has the size (6-1, 215 pounds), but the Vikings have been reluctant to shift the rookie cornerback from his comfort zone defending the right side of the field. That might change depending on their coverage needs against the Steelers.
Slot corner Josh Robinson allowed eight catches for 104 yards on nine targets against Cleveland. According to Pro Football Focus, Robinson has allowed completions 22 out of 23 times he has been targeted this season.

"Guiltless is worth the wait—a hundred tons of crusty, primitive grit, churning with a beautiful mess of greasy, grimy gopher guts." – Chicago Reader
"Marrying the bleakness of a Cormac McCarthy novel with the ruthless force of a Tyrannasaurus Rex footstomp, Guiltless is a musical journey into the mouth of teeth-rattling metal madness." – Chicagoist
"This is Indian's finest effort to date. 10/10" – Outburn
"If you've ever had a hankering for something absolute monstrous, Guiltless is pretty much an essential album." – Metal Hammer

Flo-Jo: tarnished star of the track
Sunday 8 February 2004
The Observer
Florence Griffith Joyner still holds two of the most controversial world records in athletics. Her times of 10.49 for 100metres, set in Indianapolis at the US Olympic trials in 1988, and 21.34 for 200m, clocked during the Olympic final in Seoul later that year, were previously thought beyond the realms of possibility for a woman.
Born in Los Angeles in 1959, she was for much of her career more celebrated for her long fingernails and sartorial flamboyance than for her performances on the track.
Today, no female sprinter, not even the great Marion Jones, has come close to surpassing either record.
Her dramatic improvement in 1988 and rapid retirement, then her shockingly early death, have led many to conclude that Griffith Joyner was using steroids and other banned drugs, and that she is one of the greatest cheats in the history of sport.
After an unremarkable start to her career then finishing second to Silke Gladisch-Möller in the 1987 world championships, Flo-Jo's physique began to change dramatically. By the start of the season in 1988 - Olympic year - she was toned and extraordinarily powerful. Suddenly the also-ran was rewriting the record books, running times that were tenths of seconds faster than anything in history. Yet little more than a year later, at the height of her powers, Flo-Jo retired.
The doubters said she had retired to beat the drugs testers. Her explanation was that she wanted to pursue an acting career. Whatever the truth, her decision was at odds with her previous plans - just weeks earlier she had spoken of her goals for the new season. The increasing allegations of steroid abuse were always vigorously denied by Griffith Joyner, right up until her death, aged 38, in 1998, from a heart seizure. 'It's all fabrication and lies,' she said. 'I'd be a fool to take drugs.'
She was supported by her loyal husband and coach, Al Joyner, the 1984 Olympic triple jump gold medallist. 'The one consistent thing about my wife,' he said shortly after her death, 'was that she never dodged those questions [about drug abuse], never hid from anything. When the [clean] autopsy report came out it was no surprise to me. It was her ultimate drugs test. Where can they go from there? They can't argue with it.'
Many people, however, always will.

text: the answer to this black problem is just look within the black community. blacks who are educated and who had some level of education are the ones who are successful and leading a productive life in their respective community. the blacks who go to jail and who have problems in this society are from broken and dysfunctional families. they are from single parent homes, they have no role models and and without proper education they resort to lives of crime. The very root to this problem, as said from a woman from larry elder show is that black men are the cause of all this-spewing their sperms like dogs and just forget the obligations. so i really admire blacks i have met who rise from this dire situations and turn out to be law-abiding productive citizens- for i was like one of them with a very humble beginning but rose out of it.

|Long-term outcome in patients under 40 years after revascularization for chronic lower limb ischaemia.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10532219 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: In order to find out if surgical or endoluminal treatment changes the long-term results of atherosclerotic occlusive disease in patients of under 40 years of age we reviewed 17 consecutive patients. METHODS: Their mean age was 36.5. Patients with Buerger's disease or inflammatory arteriopathy were excluded. All patients were extremely heavy smokers. The indications for surgical procedures were disabling claudication (less than 100 meters) for 11 patients, rest pain for 4 patients and grangrene of a lower limb for 2 patients. The lesions were aorto-iliac in 12 cases and femoro-popliteal in 5. Ten surgical procedures were performed (5 aorto-femoral bypasses, 1 ilio-femoral bypass associated with an aorto-renal bypass, 2 femoropopliteal bypasses, 1 aorto-iliac endarteriectomy, 1 femoral endarteriectomy). On the other hand there were 7 endoluminal procedures (1 aortic, 4 iliac, 1 femoral and 1 popliteal). RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 97.3+/-50 months (range, from 34 to 216 months). Two patients died by 57 and 132 months respectively. At 5 years the survival rate was 94%; the primary patency rate was 59%; the secondary patency rate was 81% and the limb salvage rate was 94%. At 10 years these rates were respectively 94%, 44%, 54% and 75%. A total of 21 reoperations were performed. During follow-up 11 patients were better, 2 were stable and 4 were worse with 2 limbs lost. CONCLUSIONS: These bad results suggest keeping the surgical and endoluminal indications for patients younger than 40 years with threatened limbs.

LA Tri Club announces the NEVER EVERS Triathlon. This triathlon is for LA Tri Club members only and only for those who have never done a triathlon before. The LATC Never-Ever Triathlon will be held on May 19th on a course hand picked for the first timer and each participant will be paired with a veteran LA Tri Club member to serve as a mentor for our Never Ever participants.
The location is Hansen Dam Aquatic Center (in Los Angeles, NE corner of San Fernando Valley, where 118 meets the 210). The race distance is 300m-1 loop swim, 10k-3 loop bike and 2.5k-3 loop run (in imperial that's 328yd swim, 6mi bike, 1.5mi run). The swim takes place in the 4th largest swimming pool in North American. The City calls it a "swimming lake" and for good reason, this is chlorinated "lake" is a pool 150 yards long, 40 yards wide, with tapered sides and only 5 feet at the deepest point. It will provide the calmest, clearest, safest swim imaginable! The bike takes place inside the Hansen Dam Park on a closed road and, other than one small bump to manage each lap, it's a very flat course. The run is pretty flat too and mixes in trail, grass and a bit of side walk/parking lot. The multi lap format allows friends and family members to see each participant every few minute for a chance to cheer. The day ends with a picnic in the park served by a gourmet food truck.
To register for the LA Tri Club Never-Ever Event, visit our RSVP page and grab your $55 entry. This event is limited to the first 40 that sign up so don't delay.
Mission Statement: The LA Tri Club was established to provide a network of information, support services, training & racing
activities, friendship and fun for all ages and abilities. The LA Tri Club is one of the largest triathlon clubs in the World with over
1800 members. Check out our Join page for more details on our organization.

Happy anniversary !
You just have to review Japanese VC games and it will be perfect !
(just a little teasing.... sorry
Thank you very much !
I know you don't want / can't review the japanese games but having this kind of news is good.
it was a beautiful game, and it's still is but a fighting game where you can only play solo is, to me, madness.

The United States has become the world's leader in incarceration. The size and pervasiveness of the criminal justice regime have no parallel in history. One in 100 citizens are locked away in prisons and jails – a figure that reflects a tenfold expansion in the corrections population in less than four decades. If we count those individuals who are currently on probation or parole, more than 7 million men and women are under legal supervision – a number equal to the population of Israel. This system of mass incarceration – which includes policing, corrections, and the courts – employs 2.2 million Americans –…

I'm getting a 32 inch samsung tv in my room as an early christmas present today. How would I go about hooking up two consoles though to the same tv? Is that even possible because never tested this idea until later today will be doing this. I'm gonna hook up my PS2 & Wii to my tv in my room & when I get the Wii U it'll go on the big 42 inch tv in the living room. I know it sounds odd to ask but most of my systems were usually one system to a tv usually I don't think I tried this before but can't remember.
My old tv that was in my room died several years ago. Old tube tv with VHS player got a ton of use on it before it died.
Thank's in advance!
Happy Gaming! (^_^)

Madonna will play her first UK show in four years tonight at London's Hyde Park. The singer's MDNA tour calls into the capital for a show that is set to delight 50,000 fans.
However, Madge has been warned that she will be cut off just like Bruce Springsteen if she over-runs a strict curfew when she plays tonight.
On Saturday night (July 24) Beatles star Sir Paul McCartney joined Bruce 'The Boss' Springsteen on stage at the Hard Rock Calling music festival, much to Springsteen's obvious delight: "I've been waiting for this for 50 years!"
The pair belted out Beatles hits 'I Saw Her Standing There' and 'Twist and Shout' before officials cut the sound - they had overstepped the curfew by half an hour.
Madonna has now been told not to over-run the 10.30pm curfew after fans were left outraged following Saturday's cut-off.
John Probyn, chief operating officer of Live Nation, told London Evening Standard: "It won't happen again. We've had lengthy conversations with Madonna's people. They contacted us. We've worked out with them what time she needs to go on stage to finish on time. That's all in hand."
What do you think should be done is Madonna over runs?

Protein Treatment Repairs Heart Damage
The treatment causes adult heart-muscle cells to proliferate and cardiac function to improve.
By injecting a protein into mice with heart damage, researchers in Boston have shown that it's possible to cause adult heart-muscle cells to proliferate and cardiac function to improve. The approach could eventually prove valuable for heart-attack patients who have lost cardiac-muscle cells and some cardiac function, especially since existing therapies are unable to regenerate or restore these lost cells.
Several large research groups are working on techniques to regenerate heart tissue or shore up heart function using stem cells, and some of these projects have reached clinical trials. The Boston team's work, led by Bernhard Kühn at Children's Hospital Boston, instead focuses on stimulating adult heart cells, an alternative approach that could, in theory, lead to less invasive and less expensive treatments.
Kühn's work is "very exciting" in that it involves using "protein therapy to harness cardiac regeneration," says Roger Hajjar, director of the cardiovascular research center at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, who was not involved in the research.
For years, the prevailing dogma was that adult cardiac cells do not regenerate. Some researchers have shown, however, that at least some cardiac cells are, in fact, capable of dividing. But following a heart attack, they do not proliferate sufficiently to repair the resulting damage. Kühn's work suggests a novel way in which they could be stimulated to do so.
In a study published today in the journal Cell, Kühn and colleagues first showed that a protein called neuregulin1 can cause fully mature heart-muscle cells from mice to divide and proliferate in a petri dish. The researchers then injected this protein into mice with heart damage. After 12 weeks of daily injections, the animals' hearts showed less hypertrophy, or enlargement, and improved function. For instance, the hearts had about a 10 percent increase in ejection fraction–the fraction of blood pumped out of the left ventricle with each beat. The treatment "didn't make the damage go away completely," says Kühn, "but it did make the heart work significantly better."
Going forward, one potential worry is that Kühn's team injected the protein systemically, meaning that it traveled throughout the animals' bodies. In addition to the heart, cells in the breasts and nervous system also express receptors for the therapeutic protein, which raises the risk of unwanted cell division. "We were nervous about the treated mice developing breast tumors or producing milk," Kühn acknowledges. "We did not see abnormalities when we looked at the breasts macroscopically. But we plan to study breast and nervous tissue," more closely in future research, he says. A therapy that could be injected directly into the blood would be relatively easy and inexpensive to administer, he notes.

My son who has just turned 6 and is an avid Ben10 fan loves reading these. They are also not too hefty for small people to hold and read themselves.Sara, 21/08/2012
Not impressed with collection at all. Purely because advertised as Early Readers but not quite designed for younger readers in mind (5-6 years) as are the Francesca Simon books - Horrid Henry Early Readers which actually live up to their name. Nonetheless a good collection of Ben 10 books for perhaps 8 years +.razia, 02/04/2012
My 7 y.o. son enjoyed reading this Ben 10 collection. He read them every evening and could not put them down.Jenni, 27/03/2012

ACT scores for students in Kentucky hit an all-time high in 2013, according to numbers released by the state Department of Education Wednesday.
The scores are also increasing at Leslie County High School, said its principal, Kevin Gay.
"We're proud of our numbers," he said. "I think our class of 2013 has an 18.8 composite, and I think that's encouraging."
Statewide, students overall achieved an average composite score of 19.6, up from 19.5 last year.
The state also saw increases in English, mathematics, and science scores.
Leslie County High School tracks its students' progress by using data notebooks, kept by the students.
"Our students have taken a lot of ownership in goal setting and looking at their own information to determine next steps and to help them be successful in school and in life," he said.
Teachers are also working to increase student achievement.
"Our teachers have been really dedicated to use time after school, on their own time to look at those reports, analyze that data," Gay said.

There are so many sound bites I absorbed in my youth that I interpret differently as I get older. The one that's replaying in my mind recently is the much mocked "you like me, you really like me" from Sally Field's 1984 Oscar acceptance speech.
When she received this award, I was a 16-year old girl who had been raised with the same sugar-and-spice messaging that most girls were, and are. If you are as sweet as a See's butterscotch square and only as spicy as a dash of cinnamon in a bowl full of oatmeal cookie batter, you are everything nice, which is precisely what little girls are made of.
So Sally's response made perfect sense to me. After all, who wouldn't gush with gratitude over being recognized for impressing their peers and fans? To me, she was appropriately humble and excited for the award, and I took this at face value.
As the years progressed, however, I noticed that most adults only quoted this line while rolling their eyes to imply that someone was having a moment of pathetic neediness. I'm sure I nodded in agreement to such gestures to avoid revealing myself as a kindred spirit in need. But I never understood the cynicism.
Nearly three decades later, I think I finally have an inkling. What I'm realizing is that, as we age, the need to charm and please everyone around us starts to feel a lot like a muzzle. I think this is because we're old enough to have seen and heard plenty of words and data to have developed strong opinions and convictions. And if we choose to take the muzzle off during moments of controversy to speak our mind, we risk sinking our ferocious teeth into someone. Yet if we leave it on, we're guaranteed to bite our own tongue, again and again and again.
Of course, there are matters of degree here. Speaking our mind doesn't have to come down like the lock-jaw bite of a Pit Bull, but there's no denying that disagreeing with the status quo or the majority opinion will be perceived, at a minimum, as a Chihuahua nip. And even that can bring down a girl's likability factor.
So the decision to disagree out loud becomes a decision to care less about feeling well liked.
I know this for sure after speaking out in my last Times column against teachers who are abusive or incompetent. As I struggled with the should-I-shouldn't-I question prior to submitting, I knew there would be a price to pay for addressing such a polarizing subject.
One month later and I now know what that price is; one jeopardized friendship, two emotional and awkward school meetings, and a general reduction in friendly hellos on campus.
The stress and hurt I have felt because of these reactions affected me right down to my nerve endings as I recovered from my self-inflicted Sally Field-ectomy. But now that the worst of it appears to be past me, I feel good.
I would even go so far as to say that what I lost in my quest for mass appeal is nothing compared to the personal satisfaction and self respect I have gained by having the courage to speak out on a topic I feel passionately about.
The experience leaves me feeling feisty enough to try on some new sound bites for size. The one that's resonating the loudest is an ambitious one by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich that says: "Well-behaved women rarely make history."
Forget the sugar and spice—this is what we grown-up girls need to be made of.

NARRAGANSETT ŌĆō As many coaches will say, the games were admittedly more about player and team development for coach Corey Downey and the Chariho boys basketball team in the early portion of its Narragansett Summer League schedule.
There comes a time, however, when even summer league games mean just a little bit more and it is time to focus on winning.
ŌĆ£Last week, I started telling them weŌĆÖre going to start playing more like I would coach in the winter,ŌĆØ Downey said. ŌĆ£Putting guys in right spots, putting guys in the right situations, not just giving them experience. For the past three games, thatŌĆÖs what weŌĆÖve done.
ŌĆ£I wanted to win tonight, so we did what we had to do.ŌĆØ
As they ratcheted up their game, things looked good for Chariho early in its quarterfinal match against North Kingstown last Wednesday evening at Christofaro Park.
The defending summer league champion Skippers managed to match the ChargersŌĆÖ intensity though en route to a 43-26 victory.
ŌĆ£North KingstownŌĆÖs one of the better teams in this league every year, but I thought we were extremely competitive,ŌĆØ said the ChargersŌĆÖ coach.
ŌĆ£I thought defensively we did a nice job creating turnovers for them, but we had too many turnovers on our side.
ŌĆ£ŌĆ"I loved our defensive fight. I loved the way we boxed out and were physical on the defensive boards. I love that part of us and I feel that will give us success come the wintertime. ŌĆ"They hit a couple shots that were uncontested, which I donŌĆÖt like, but for the most part they ran good sets and most shots were contested. TheyŌĆÖre just a good basketball team.ŌĆØ
With Robbie Toth and Zach Wallander leading the charge, combining to score all of CharihoŌĆÖs points in the first half, the game went back-and-forth as the score stayed even through the opening 10 minutes.
The difference for North Kingstown would come at the end of the first half though as the Skippers broke an 11-all tie with a 3-pointer and went on to take a 25-16 advantage into the break.
Out of intermission North continued to impose its will, this time more so on the defensive end.
Chariho was held to just one field goal in the second half, which was somewhat self-inflicted thanks to seven turnovers in their first seven possessions, while NorthŌĆÖs shots continued to drop and extend their already comfortable margin.
ŌĆ£I think [North Kingstown] may have picked up their defense a little bit, where they created more turnovers for us,ŌĆØ Downey said of CharihoŌĆÖs offensive drought. ŌĆ£Our spacing offensively was not good, so we couldnŌĆÖt create and attack, and get it to our big guys.
ŌĆ£We missed a couple easy layups and they hit some tough shots to kind of expand the lead a little bit.ŌĆØ
The game ended as it had begun ŌĆō with a little more balance as the teams evenly traded points over the final 10 minutes ŌĆō but thanks to its strength throughout the middle potion of the game, North was never threatened as they rolled to the 17-point win.
Wallander led the Chargers in the effort with 13 points, half his teamŌĆÖs total.
Despite the seemingly lopsided loss, not only was the ChargersŌĆÖ coach happy with his teamŌĆÖs effort in the contest, but was happy with their performance throughout the summer as a whole.
ŌĆ£From game one to now we had a major improvement,ŌĆØ Downey said. ŌĆ£Especially the last three games, where we were kind of doing what we had to do to win a basketball game.
ŌĆ£I think it will hopefully lead to success in the winter and we make the playoffs for the first time in four years. ThatŌĆÖs our goal. I think itŌĆÖs a realistic goal as long as we continue to work in the offseason.ŌĆØ

This is a magnanimous gesture, and the effing MF is given to the opposite—sociopathic selfishness to exponential extremes.
This means that an agreement, when it finally emerges, will not be uplifting, elegant, and magnanimous.
As such, he calls for liberals to be magnanimous, recognize trade-offs, and say that this trade-off was worth it.
It was small and self-important rather than big and magnanimous.
The opening of the film was exactly as I expected—grand and magnanimous as films like these tend to be.
Yet it was but modesty and respect in the author, not to bring so magnanimous a hero on the scene, to speak bad poetry.
But then, when it came to a show-down she might not be so magnanimous as she had appeared tonight.

France: Rhone: Cotes-du-RhoneWhat is Côtes-du-Rhône?
For the bargain seeker Côtes-du-Rhône is a great bet, with many wines at or under $10 to be found. Wines from this area can vary enormously in quality and typicity from very weak and washed out to full and dark. The best producers, however, will make wines that are rich and ripe. Côtes-du-Rhône is almost always drinkable upon release and requires no further cellaring. It makes the ideal winter quaffer.

SILVER CITY >> The driver who struck and killed a bicyclist on Highway 15 back in May has been charged with vehicular homicide.
James Kuehne, 69, of Grant County, has been charged with one count of homicide by vehicle (reckless) in the crash that took the life of Albuquerque area cyclist William "Rob" Oakes, 70, of Placitas.
Oakes was riding with a group of 54 cyclists from the New Mexico Touring Society on their 22nd annual Gila Inner Loop Tour bicycle ride on Saturday, May 11, 2013, when the crash occurred, according to the group's president Bill Thompson, who was also a very close friend of Oakes. The two-day ride takes riders from Silver City up to Pinos Altos and Highway 15, stopping for lunch at Little Toad Creek at the intersection of Highways 15 and 35, then on to the Mimbres where they camp at Camp Thunderbird for the night before heading off the next day either through the Mimbres or back through Pinos Altos.
The group was on the first day of the ride and Oakes was riding with a loose group of about four riders, and was coming down the steep descent after Wild Horse Mesa on Highway 15. He was on a straight and level stretch, headed to the intersection where the group planned to have lunch, his friend said. The first two in Oakes' group had made it to the lunch stop and Oakes was about 100 to 200 yards away, Thompson said, when he was hit.
According to the criminal complaint filed Monday in Silver City Magistrate Court, Kuehne was driving south towards Silver City to repair a slow leak on his right rear tire. He was following a red car that he said appeared to be driving rather slow, possibly admiring the scenery. Kuehne told police he came to area on the road where it was OK to pass and he attempted to do so but when he did, the red car speeded up, preventing him from passing.
The New Mexico State Police investigated the case and in the criminal complaint wrote that Kuehne was traveling at too great a speed for the road conditions.
"The turn is on a slight embankment with trees and a slight drop off in the southbound side of the roadway with trees on the northbound side of the roadway as well," the complaint states. "The turn is a blind turn with limited visibility due to the severity of the turn and trees. If Mr. Kuehne would have gone off the roadway in his lane of travel, he would have drove down an embankment and hit a tree, had he kept his lane, he would have crashed into the rear of the red car. Eliminating those options, Mr. Kuehne decided to try to keep his vehicle on the roadway by jerking his vehicle to the left into oncoming traffic at a blind turn. In doing so, Mr. Kuehne's pick up struck the cyclist Mr. Oakes."
The complaint goes on further to say that as a resident of the area, Kuehne knew that this time of year was the Tour of the Gila and that area roads were heavily traveled by bicyclists and in fact, he had passed several cyclists prior to the crash. On Sunday, members of The Duke City Wheelman and the New Mexico Touring Society installed a ghost bike at the site of the crash that took Oakes' life at the intersection of Highways 15 and 35, north of Silver City.
Oakes was a member of The New Mexico Touring Society and rode many miles each week with the group.
"An average of five bicyclists are killed each year in New Mexico," said Jennifer Buntz, president of the Duke City Wheelmen.
Kuehne was not incarcerated and no other information about him was available at this time. He will likely be arraigned in Silver City Magistrate Court in the coming weeks. Christine Steele can be reached at 575-538-5893 ext. 5802.

Some months ago, Courier-Journal editorial director David Hawpe correctly suggested that raising the $2.5 million dollars needed to complete the African American Heritage Museum was a worthy cause and in need of a champion to step forward and make it happen.
After several weeks of wondering who would step forward, I came to the conclusion that it should be all Kentuckians of African-American descent, including their Caucasian relatives who can be found on those obscure limbs of their family trees.
The lack of funding from the state due to some bureaucratic mistakes is not unlike African American history, which is riddled with examples of perseverance, despite the changing of the rules once we start to play the game.
Rather than being viewed as an economic engine, as is the Museum Plaza, an initiative like the African American Heritage Museum lacks statewide support because it is viewed as a "Black Project," rather than an economic oasis for activity and growth in West Louisville.
Instead of shaming state and federal officials (who see nothing wrong with not recognizing the million of dollars in taxes that African American have paid into their coffers, which were spent on things like a circa 1948 scholarship program that, until recently, never went to a single Black person; or the millions lost by the state annually due to waste and fraud, for example in painting the bridge) we must do this ourselves if we are to save our family legacies.
The double standards applied to the African American Heritage Museum, as it seeks to receive state funding, reflect the many similar historical obstacles that will make the museum a testament to our pride and perseverance.
How long did Black Kentuckians have their tax dollars used to build and maintain public golf courses before my father won a suit with the aid of lawyers like retired judge Benjamin Shobe that allowed African Americans to play those courses? A museum would be a positive reminder that rights which seem so basic today took seven years to realize in 1947 -- seven years before the Brown V. Board of Education decision.
This is not a Louisville museum. It's a Kentucky museum, located in Louisville. My family roots are in Casey County, which now, I'm told, has few if any African American families, and Trigg County. Like many southern African Americans who migrated north, many Kentuckians migrated to Louisville, looking for something not found at home. This museum could be like a trip going home. It would help make places like Casey County part of our great heritage.
Therefore I call on all Americans with ties to Kentucky's African American families to sacrifice a portion of this year's Christmas gifts to one another, in favor of a gift to the Museum.
You may do so by sending your tax-deductible gift to the Kentucky Center for African American Heritage, 315 W Guthrie, Suite 400, Louisville, Ky., 40202.
Be part of history when your child remembers 2007 as the year of personal sacrifice and completion -- as the year when Christmas included an investment and a letter of thanks that may become part of their history.
Let's get this done by giving a gift that keep on giving.
Louisville 40245

Amazombie, with Mike Smith up, wins the Sentient Jet Breeders' Cup Sprint. / By Bill Luster;The Courier-Journal
A horse that trainer Bill Spawr never really asked for gave him his first Breeders� Cup victory Saturday as Amazombie won the $1.5 million, Grade I Sentient Jet Sprint.
�Today he was at his peak,� Spawr said.
The victory by a neck capped an improbable road to the Breeders� Cup for the 5-year-old, California-bred gelding.
Several years ago when Spawr was visiting the California farm where his yearlings are prepared for racing, a farm official tried to get him to buy horses being sold by the family of an owner who had suffered a heart attack.
Spawr offered $5,000 for one of two horses by Northern Afleet, a sire he liked. When Spawr said he�d take �him,� the farm official heard �them� and sent both horses. Amazombie was the second.
�You might say he�s a throw-in,� Spawr said, adding that he has never had what was effectively a $2,500 purchase turn into such a good horse. �Who has?�
Longtime friend Thomas Sanford, with whom Spawr has owned many horses, bought into Amazombie later. The owners described Saturday�s victory as a fairy tale.
Had Amazombie not won the Grade I Ancient Title at Santa Anita last month � a Breeders� Cup �Win and You�re In� race � the owners said they might have opted instead for the Cal Cup, a series of races for California-breds.
The $810,000 winner�s share of the purse more than doubles Amazombie�s career earnings to $1,525,708. He paid $17.80 to win as the bettors� sixth choice.
Force Freeze was second, and favorite Jackson Bend third after running in this race instead of the Dirt Mile.
�He couldn't save enough ground,� said Nick Zito, Jackson Bend�s trainer. �He broke great, he broke super. This was for all the marbles. We had to take a shot. The fans liked him, too. He just ran out of ground. ... We did the right thing.�
The victory was Spawr�s first in seven tries at the Breeders� Cup.
�I felt I was due,� he joked before adding that he�d never brought a horse to the event who loved the track as much as Amazombie.
It was the 14th Breeders� Cup victory for jockey Mike Smith. He said the horse took a big breath and exhaled just before entering the starting gate, showing he was ready. He broke second behind Euroears, then settled back into fifth.
�When I needed him to settle, he settled,� Smith said.
Amazombie moved four wide through the turn and went for the lead coming down the stretch.
�I cut the corner, and I was able to get out when I wanted,� Smith said. �With him I�m always concerned about hitting the front a bit too soon. He tends to wait and lug in a little bit at times when he does, so I was trying to time it. ... It worked out. I might have hit it just a little too soon, but it�s the Breeders� Cup, man; I don�t want to wait for someone flying at the end.�
The time for the six furlongs was 1:09.17, after Euroears went a quarter in 21.12 seconds. The half was run in 56.36.
Defending champ Big Drama finished seventh.
�He ran good,� trainer David Fawkes said. �He just didn�t have enough today.�

AUBURN HILLS, MI – Automotive electronics and emerging technologies are at the forefront of the connected car experience. Advancements in these technologies and ever-changing lifestyle demands are shifting the driving experience. The international automotive supplier Continental and IBM, one of the world's leading technology companies, are collaborating to help car manufacturers introduce connected features to the mainstream market. Continental first announced its collaboration with IBM during the 2013 Frankfurt IAA International Motor Show. At CES 2014, Continental will display initial product concepts of the cooperation, which include Connected Electronic Horizon and Smart Speech technologies.
Continental has a clear vision for the automotive future. Its latest innovations will be highlighted during CES, held January 7 – 10, 2014, in Las Vegas, Nevada. From advanced vehicle sensors to automotive apps and smartphones that open cars, to connected massage seats and seamlessly integrated displays, Continental is showcasing its roadmap for the evolution from advanced driver assistance systems to automated driving at CES.
"Not only are drivers demanding a more digital lifestyle, connecting the vehicle is opening up a vast field of opportunities for services to make driving safer, more efficient and more comfortable," said Helmut Matschi, Head of Continental's Interior Division and Member of the Executive Board. "Together with IBM we can now demonstrate new possibilities for the fully connected vehicle."
Continental and IBM are planning to work together to provide software and engineering services for an embedded vehicle client and a back-end platform to enable Intelligent Transportation Systems. With highly scalable cloud platform services, automobile manufacturers will be able to deliver a wide range of new in-car services – making time on the road more valuable when drivers and passengers are intuitively connected to the outside world. "Our goal are advanced services that also adapt seamlessly to already existing IT-infrastructures, which our customers may have in place today," explained Matschi.
Connected Electronic Horizon Knows the Road Ahead
In conjunction with IBM, Continental is planning to enhance anticipatory driving by developing the next generation of the 'Electronic Horizon' platform. Knowing what is ahead on the road allows drivers to adjust their driving style to be safer, more economic and more comfortable. Electronic Horizon technology utilizes digital maps to anticipate the road ahead; effectively extending the horizon beyond what is immediately visible, thereby contributing to safer, smarter and cleaner mobility.
Currently, Electronic Horizon technology uses static map data to calculate the most efficient driving strategy. The Connected eHorizon will enhance the map data through crowdsourcing. With the advanced use of existing vehicle sensors, the Electronic Horizon can become a key feature in vehicles with the ability to receive and transmit information in real-time, ultimately enabling the vehicle to 'look around the corner', predicting road conditions ahead. This enhanced technology will connect the car with its environment and paving the way for Automated Driving.
Continental believes that Automated Driving is a key element to future mobility. Automated Driving will lead to a significant decrease in the number of traffic causalities and allow drivers to use their time in the car more efficiently. Continental's path to Automated Driving is outlined in three phases: partially Automated Driving by 2016; highly Automated Driving by 2020; and, fully Automated Driving by 2025.
The Connected Car
Combining Continental's deep understanding of speech interfaces in the vehicle with IBM's interactive dialog and content finding solution will create a more intelligent cloud-based voice solution compared to existing in-vehicle voice systems. The goal is to use IBM's smart speech solution to create interactive artificial intelligence based communication between the vehicle and the driver to deliver a highly personalized solution where dialogue vehicles and occupants is unique to each user, their context, their interactions and usage history as well as the vehicle status. "Cloud-based functions open the possibilities of future vehicles," added Matschi. "The future interior and the future safety functionalities of vehicles will also depend on the way the car is connected. Continental and IBM are working toward bringing a wide range of new innovative solutions to help drivers manage information and drive safely."
