Stormwater basin project continues
During periods of heavy rain, Mt. Pleasant resident Jenny Lumley said she and her family have experienced a relatively mild amount of flooding in the basement of their Reservoir Street home in the borough.
"Just a minimal amount, really, nothing major," Lumley said.
However, Lumley added that stormy weather has often wreaked havoc on the canopy of trees overlooking her property on nearby land owned by Excela Health Frick Hospital.
"Every time we'd have a bad storm, we'd have trees or branches falling down in our yard," Lumley said.
Now, work currently being done by Acme-based Custom Contracting to construct a massive stormwater drainage basin on the hospital's property has addressed both issues for Lumley, she said.
"They cleared out all of those trees, so that's good," Lumley said. "And it's a good thing, I think, to have the work being done."
The $138,000 project — located on hospital property near the facility's Reservoir Street parking lot — represents the most expansive work to date as part of the borough's rain garden initiative.
The initiative is financed by a total of approximately $750,000 in funds provided by the state Department of Environmental Protection through Section 319 of the federal Clean Water Act. It involves Westmoreland Conservation District officials, who are working with the borough and the hospital to see the basin project through to its completion.
"That is, by far, the largest control of stormwater to be installed in the borough as a result of this funding," district watershed specialist Rob Cronauer said of the basin that will measure 130 feet wide, 80 feet long and 7 feet deep.
"Essentially, it's a hole in the ground and, when it's really raining hard, it becomes a pond," he said.
During periods of heavy rainwater flow, the basin will be able to hold approximately 500,000 gallons of water and let out that water at controlled rate, Cronauer said.
"Excela Health is pleased to be part of the rain garden project in Mt. Pleasant. Not only is the end result environmentally wise, but the project also allows us to be a good neighbor," said Robin Jennings, Excela Health spokesperson.
In 2010, the borough became the first municipality in Pennsylvania to install residential rain gardens — a unique form of landscaping highlighted by perennial shrubs, flowers and small trees designed with the purpose of capturing and utilizing stormwater runoff in a way many describe as environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing.
District officials aided the borough in the installation the rain gardens in the yards of about 40 residents in the borough's Ramsay Terrace neighborhood who reported a history of flooding problems.
The project's first phase involved the creation of gardens near the public library and borough building and in the Levin Furniture parking lots.
"When you're in a town like this, we have to do the best with what we have, which is to retrofit to minimize some stormwater flooding issues," said Jeff Landy, the borough's manager. "The state and federal government said one way to do so is to install rain gardens, so that's what we're doing."

About Buccaneers
Fencing – The Modern Sport
Fencing is a modern sport developed from the sword fighting techniques of old. In the modern sport there are three different weapons, the foil, epee and sabre each of which have different rules and conventions. Fencers wear protective clothing and the sport is very safe. The sport demands discipline and control and is both highly technical and energetic. There are regular competitions for all ages and standards of fencers.
The Club – When & Where
Sheffield Buccaneers Fencing Club provides training and tuition at foil, epee and sabre for fencers of all ages and for some years has been one of the strongest and most successful fencing clubs in the region. The sessions run from 7.00pm to 10.00pm on Wednesday nights in the Gym at Birkdale School, Oakholme Road, Broomhill, Sheffield S10 3DH. The training is under the direction of the coach Adam Blight with the assistance of the other coaches. A full range of equipment is provided for fencers who do not possess their own. Club sessions begin with a warm up and footwork session followed by general fencing, training exercises and individual lessons. The club is generally very well attended by fencers of all ages abilities and weapons, ensuring that everybody will have appropriate partners to train and fence with.
Sheffield Buccaneers welcomes those who are new to the sport and runs regular beginners courses. For details of the latest course, check out the beginners page of the website. We aim to offer beginners a comprehensive introduction to fencing at the session on Wednesday nights. Anyone who is interested in learning to fence is very welcome to come to the club before signing up for a beginners course.

The session will involve a wide variety of fencing exercises and games, instruction in all aspects of the sport, individual coaching, competitions etc. Sheffield Buccaneers is very keen to develop youth fencing and youth members regularly participate in competitions at weekends. Buccaneers fencers achieve good results in Regional, National and International Youth Events. Young Fencers from the club have, over the years, won many youth competitions and championships. Any child who wishes to take up fencing is very welcome to join the youth group.
Adult Fencers
Sheffield Buccaneers offers fencing and coaching to a high standard at foil, epee and sabre. Adult fencers enter a wide range of competitions, and those fencers who regularly compete can receive individual coaching from the coaches at all three weapons. Amongst the adult fencers who train at the club are a number of Yorkshire Champions and regular members of Yorkshire and National squads. Fencers from this club have over the years achieved top results at Regional, National and International level, including qualifying to compete in the 2012 London Olympics!

Gay Men's Guide to Life Insurance
Publish Date: 14/07/2008
The Association for British Insurers has brought out a new set of guidelines which advise that gay men do not have to undergo unnecessary HIV testing in order to take out life insurance policies.
The Association for British Insurers sets the standards for the majority of insurance companies in the UK and the new consumer guide will have a massive impact as more than 95% of the insurance industry abide by the ABI code.
The updated gay men's guide to life insurance reflects "changes being made across the industry to ensure that people in civil partnerships are treated the same as married couples."
The Sexual Orientation Regulations, which became law last year protect gay, lesbian and bisexual people from discrimination when accessing goods and services but contain an opt-out for insurance companies that allows them to continue to discriminate on the grounds of sexual orientation.
Regulation 27 provides an exception where a person is treated less favourably on grounds of his sexual orientation in relation to an annuity, or life insurance policy, or similar matter.The small print of the regulations, published in March 2007, make clear that insurance companies will have to argue to retain this exemption after 2008.
In a survey, insurance company staff were all asked to provide their company's limit at which an applicant would be sent for an HIV test. Two companies, Royal Liver and Bright Grey, were praised for their industry-beating limit of £1,000,000 of cover without HIV testing for gay men within a civil partnership.
However, 80% of frontline customer service staff of insurance companies covered in the study by gay financial advisers Compass gave incorrect information around gay men and insurance.

Consumer Guide for Gay Men on Life Insurance
Consumer Guide on countries with High HIV prevalence
What you need to know:
Sexually Transmitted Infections
You are advised to disclose any sexually transmitted infections that you have had. Insurers do not expect you to make judgments on the health implications of particular infections. In cases of doubt they will approach your GP, with your consent, for example to establish the long-term implications for your health. One-off minor infections are likely to be ignored by insurers.
Life insurers have the option of asking the following question: "Within the last five years have you tested positive or been treated for any disease which was transmitted sexually?"
What to do if you are HIV+
If you have HIV, getting cover is not always possible. There are a few specialist insurers that offer life cover and, for the people where some cover is available, it can be costly. You will need to use a specialist insurer although more life insurers hope to be able to offer affordable cover in the future. If you have any difficulty finding a specialist insurer, you can go to an insurance broker who can do the searching for you. You can contact a broker through: British Insurance Brokers Association (BIBA) 14 Bevis Marks, London EC3A 7NT Telephone: 0901 814 0015 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Specialist HIV insurance
HIV life assurance, mortgage services and other insurance products are also recommended by many HIV charities, organisations, hospitals and clinics and provide HIV travel insurance for some of their staff. If you're HIV+, don't take the risk travelling without travel insurance that will cover you for anything HIV related .To obtain a quote and book on line visit: http://www.hivtravelinsurance.com/or telephone: 0845 222 222 6

i got it. have yet to watch it. i cant wait to see the dubbed version.
well im not that much into the topic, but the movie had some amazing shots. i just hope that i can get a chance to watch it on the big screen some time
Yea, I watched it, it was good. I wish they woulda done more with the other characters and whatnot, but it had a suprising return of my favorite ff7 character... starts with a "R", ends with a "S". It's basically just one huge action scene, but the action is good... so it's alot of fun, and they did a great job with tifa. I hope they do that FF7 remake someday, yuffie, cid, and barret all were great in their new forms.. I just wanna see more of them.
So extreme that it was ridiculous. I really wanted to like it...argh.
Take Bahamut and Vincent out and it was total rubbish.
edit: FF:AC bears a striking resemblance to "3 fast 3 3urious."

your review just made me not want to watch the movie jetpack. THANKS!

11/30/03-11/30/05. Thanks CA, for all the great inspiration. When will I update? I dont know...
Mr. 42, I'm guessing you didn't care for ff7 in general perhaps? The movie is really supposed to be a total fanservice.Originally Posted by jetpack42

FF7 is one of the best RPGs, or even best games, ever.
Come over and watch if you want, tiny. I'm sure it's just as silly the 2nd time around.
If racing at 200mph on motorcycles while spinning standing swordfighting jumping flipping grunting making suprised faces blocking bullets with swords shooting flying through the air being generally invincible and all around fantastical maneuvers, ALL AT THE SAME TIME is your thing, you will love this movie.
Here's the new FF:AC trailer http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/222150
As for "fanservice"....I can imagine 12 year olds thinking it was awesome. So they would have had to play the game when they were.....4-5 years old...if at all.
I self-published a book on the fundamentals of drawing from life.
if you download it though, it has been fansubbed. Anyway I watched it today. I'm generally dissapointed with the movie. Some battles started off intense with a real sense of weight and danger, but somehow as the battles raged on characters could jump higher, defy more gravity, cling to walls, take injuries that would crush bones into sand ect, and be unscathed. What I loved about this movie is also what I didn't like about it. The fight scenes were well coreographed, but it got too over the top, too "super hero-ish". It seemed everyone was invinsible and anyone could do anything, like they were in the matrix.Originally Posted by tinyhands
Anyway that's just my opinion, many of you will love it no doubt. Bahamut's appearance was excellent! and it was pretty great to see the characters in detailed 3D (but unforunately they all looked like dolls with real skin wrapped over them).
All that exaggerating was ok cuz it all happens in the game anyway. COOL MOVIE!!!!!!Originally Posted by one2hit

I expected it to be exaggerated, in fact, i enjoyed alot of it, ex: the first half of tifa's fight, alot of vincents movements, limit breaks....etc....at least half of it was just WAY TOO OVER THE TOP EXTREME TO THE MAXXXXXXXX.......in my opinion.
I self-published a book on the fundamentals of drawing from life.
I just watched it.
I thought it was a pretty bad movie. THe animation and graphics are unargueably incredible, and I loved the fight scenes. But the plot, story, pacing, and certain elements are just BS. Plus I think the worst part is that in order to really get anything in this movie, you have to know the game. Otherwise it's just a confusing mess.
Take Denzel for example. He wasn't in the game, and not much was said of him in the movie, even though a lot of importance seemed to be placed onto him. The rest of the orphans didn't even appear until further into the movie. Infact I don't think it was ever implied that Tifa and Cloud ran the orphanage at all. For a while I thought the two kids were brother sisters, and related to Cloud and Tifa.
What's with the circle of orphans around the memorial tower anyways (this is the scene before Kadaj summons Bahamut)? Also, the angry mob made no attempt to do anything. All the did was protested behind a fence of children! Sure they get chased off by demons AFTERWARDS, but it was still pretty bs.
Then the sudden appearance of all the old heroes. It was kind of overwhelming even for me. (Even though that's where it starts getting good!)
I thought the Tifa/Water thing, and the "I couldn't protect you", was kinda cheesy.
(running out of time, rushing, lol)
other BS Parts:
-orphans just do exactly what kadaj tells them to do??
-cloud is neo/goku (but he was still cool)
-*the baptising of Denzel
-Areth's water spirit
-Cloud's random fainting next to Tifa, on a field(garden) of tulips!
-the whole geostigma in general.
-the fictional philosophical lectures
I just watched it, and I am afraid that I agree with 2100. Graphics and action is totally amazing, but plot, story and pregression and pace of the whole thing was fucked!
I had the same feeling when I watched this movie, that I had 3 years ago when I watched The Matrix 2... Cool graphics and action, but fucked up story!
I just want these questions answered:
Q: From where the hell did the kadaj gang come from?
Q: WTF is this geostigma thing?
Q: What exactly is the kadaj group's objective?
Q: Right at the end, Kadaj notices that Jenova cells leaked off and finished then he shouts... two mintues later he uses the box to turn to sephiroth, WTF?
Q: Since when Cait Sith is on RED XIII, where is its big teddy?!
does anyone know why it was shown "498 years ago" right before the Turks start to talk? 498 yrs? isnt that too much?
To make money!! duh, what do you think square-enix is after? Making quality games and movies that appearl to the gamer, the child and the intellectual, or pushing over-stylized, super hyper action to the mainstream croud and fanboys?Originally Posted by I_LOVE_ART
-Did anyone wonder how Cloud, and those two silver haired androgynous freak boys managed to fly through the air in the tunnel scene after getting knocked off their moving bikes (which they landed upon later miraculously defying everything) after what should have been lost momentum from throwing a bike, cutting through a bike with a sword and flipping around in empty space. oh yeah. The yuppie shot him twice with his gun, that sent him hurtling another 80 feet before landing on his bike (which was teleporting around below him to keep up with all this stop and go action.
Advent Children is suppossed to place 2 yrs after the events of FF7. But I do remember at the end of FF7 in the game it shows RedXIII and whatnot 500 yrs after the meteor events. Haven't seen AC yet so I don't know how that flows together, so not quite sure.Originally Posted by patdzon

Dad Commercial of 2012 Candidate – Audi A6 "Alien Dad"
When sitting down for some football on NFL Sunday, I actually do pay attention to the commercials sometimes.
One of the commercials that caught my eye was the Audi 6 "Alien Dad" spot. A dad from the eyes of the kid. Awesome commercial that came out earlier in the summer. Has to be a 2012 candidate for Dad Commercial of the Year…even though that's not really an award. Maybe we'll start it..Powered by Sidelines

In this Oct. 24, 2013 photo, Amy Risinger, right, watches her son Mark Risinger, 16, at their home in Glenview, Ill. Mark Risinger is allowed to use his smartphone and laptop in his room, and says he spends about four hours daily on the Internet doing homework, using Facebook and YouTube and watching movies. An influential pediatricians group is recommending strict limits on texting, tweeting and other media use, including banning smart phones, iPods and other Internet access from kids' bedrooms. Mark's mom said she agrees with restricting kids' time on social media but that deciding on other media limits should be up to parents. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh)

Doctors 2 parents: Limit kids' tweeting, texting & keep smartphones, laptops out of bedrooms. #goodluckwiththat.
The recommendations are bound to prompt eye-rolling and LOLs from many teens but an influential pediatricians group says parents need to know that unrestricted media use can have serious consequences.
It's been linked with violence, cyberbullying, school woes, obesity, lack of sleep and a host of other problems. It's not a major cause of these troubles, but "many parents are clueless" about the profound impact media exposure can have on their children, said Dr. Victor ...

WWE(R) Reports 2014 Second Quarter Results and Improved 2015 Business Outlook
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
WWE (WWE) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2014. For the quarter, the Company reported a Net loss of $14.5 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to Net income of $5.2 million, or $0.07 per share, in the second quarter last year. Excluding items affecting comparability, adjusted Net loss was $13.5 million, or $0.18 per share in the current year quarter, compared to Net income of $5.2 million, or $0.07 per share, in the second quarter last year. WWE Network reached 700,000 subscribers at quarter end.
"WWE's core business metrics remain strong, and WWE Network continues to be the single greatest opportunity to transform WWE's business model. During the quarter, we developed plans to make WWE Network available globally starting August 12, and completed a long-term content deal in Canada with Rogers Communications," stated Vince McMahon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Additionally, we identified efficiencies that will improve our 2015 OIBDA outlook by $30 million. Based on these initiatives, we are optimistic about our potential to drive long-term growth."
"As we expanded WWE Network to 700,000 subscribers, our earnings performance surpassed our guidance, which targeted a Net loss ranging from $15 million to $18 million. Our key metrics continued to show strength as average North American attendance increased 11%, representing the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth. Raw and SmackDown TV ratings increased 5% and 3%, respectively, marking SmackDown's 7th quarter of growth among the past 8 quarters," added George Barrios, Chief Strategy & Financial Officer. "We identified efficiencies across WWE, which include a 7% reduction in staff, and improved our 2015 OIBDA outlook by $30 million. We developed plans to make WWE Network available in over 170 countries, and entered a 10-year deal that provides for the WWE Network launch as a traditional a-la-carte Pay-TV channel in Canada and renews our television licensing agreement for Raw and SmackDown. The progress in our strategic initiatives reinforces our view that successful execution of our WWE Network strategy can generate meaningful economic returns."
WWE Network Update
The quarter was highlighted by the ongoing ramp up of WWE Network, which attracted gross additions of 161,000 subscribers since WrestleMania on April 6th and ended the quarter at 700,000 subscribers, reflecting a net addition of 33,000 subscribers. To drive ongoing subscriber growth, the Company continues to execute a five-part strategy that includes making the network available in new geographies, creating new content, expanding distribution platforms, developing new features and enhancing its marketing. Critical aspects of this strategy include making WWE Network available in international markets and completing a new partnership with Rogers Communications, which provides the rights to distribute the network in Canada.
* Customer Engagement: Viewer data indicates that, on average, 91% of subscribers access the network at least once per week and use 2.5 devices to consume network content. Moreover, consumer research indicates that 90% of subscribers are satisfied with WWE Network (with 51% extremely satisfied and 39% somewhat satisfied).

Kamer van Koophandel en Fabrieken voor Amsterdam v Inspire Art Ltd
|Kamer van Koophandel en Fabrieken voor Amsterdam v Inspire Art Ltd
|Decided 30 December 2003
|Full case name
|Kamer van Koophandel en Fabrieken voor Amsterdam v Inspire Art Ltd
|Case number
|Right of establishment
Kamer van Koophandel en Fabrieken voor Amsterdam v Inspire Art Ltd (2003) C-167/01 is a leading corporate law case, concerning the EU law of freedom of establishment for companies.
The art company Inspire Art Ltd was incorporated in the United Kingdom, which accords to the "incorporation theory" rather than the "real seat theory" of establishing a business in conflict of laws. It wished to carry out business in the Netherlands, which also follows incorporation theory. Dutch law, however, applied to "pseudo foreign" companies to impose minimum capital requirements on businesses operating within the country. The question was whether this disproportionately interfered with Inspire Art Ltd's right to freedom of establishment.
The ECJ held that creditor protection did not justify imposing additional requirements to those of the United Kingdom, where Inspire Art Ltd was incorporated. In this case, creditors were sufficiently protected by the fact that the company did not hold itself out as a Dutch company, but one subject to UK law.
It held that national laws which restrict freedom of establishment must be:
- non-discriminatory
- necessary in order to protect a public interest objective
- appropriate for securing the attainment of the objective
- proportionate

Asian Tapas is one of our favorite spots to dine. Everytime we've been there the food and service has exceeded our expectations. So we were not surprised to see that they were voted the best Chinese Restaurant in 2010. Way to go!!
Best Chinese Restaurant Orange County 2010 - Asian Tapas
6380 Irvine Blvd.
Irvine, CA 92620
Peel back that disingenuous name, and you get what the restaurant is really about: impeccably cooked Northern Chinese fare. A lip-numbing slick of chili oil lubricates the wontons. Noodles and soft, tendon-y beef lurk beneath a dark-as-tea soup redolent of anise for a classic niu rou mien. Thousand-year-old egg with bluish yolks and clear-as-aspic albumen ride silken tofu blocks like a parade float. All that's cooked in the kitchen—a space separated from the dining room only by glass panes so you can see its inner workings like the gears of a transparent clock—will be unlike anything you've had elsewhere. Even the wedding-banquet staple of honey-glazed walnut shrimp is immaculate. It's more elegant, more vibrant than at any restaurant that has the words "jade," "dragon" or "panda" in the title.

NEW YORK (AP) -- With only hours until a threatened NHL lockout, the league and the players' union appear no closer to a deal. For nearly a year, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has vowed to lock out players for the second time in eight years if a new collective bargaining agreement isn't reached by the time the current one expires at midnight EDT Saturday. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and players' association special counsel Steve Fehr, the brother of NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr, were expected to speak to each other Saturday morning to see if face-to-face talks would take place. If a deal isn't set by the end of the day, the NHL begins its fourth work stoppage since 1992. While this lockout might not wipe out the whole season the way one did in 2004-05 lockout, a good chunk of games could be lost without productive talks soon. Brief conversations Thursday night and Friday between leaders on both sides have yet to spur the parties to return to bargaining. The phone con...

November 30, 2015
A 27-year-old Lexington woman expecting her second child is dead.
Jennifer Lee was killed after her car was hit by a pickup truck on North Broadway on Wednesday afternoon.
Police say Lee was trying to make a right on Broadway. Her line of sight was being blocked by a semi-truck. When she turned, she did so directly into oncoming traffic.
Lee's 7-year-old son was also in the car at the time of the crash.
Initially authorities told 27NEWSFIRST that the child was not injured, but the child's aunt, Melissa Jones, later told 27NEWSFIRST the child had been admitted to the hospital for bruised ribs and possibly an injured lung.
The driver of the pick up truck was not seriously injured.

Missouri's James Franklin is a dual-threat quarterback with 13 touchdown passes and 278 rushing yards.
- Filed Under
The RGJ's football handicappers fared well last week with three of the four picking up wins.
Richard Chang took Clemson, which handled Syracuse, 49-14. Josh Nagel picked underdog TCU at +10.5, which lost by only three points to ranked Oklahoma.
Dennis Ranahan had success with his NFL bet, picking the Cincinnati Bengals in a sloppy game over the New England Patriots.
Lee Sterling took Iowa in a pick'em, but Michigan State got the victory.
Here are this week's picks.
Lee Sterling
Game: No. 25 Missouri at No. 7 Georgia
When: 9 a.m. Saturday (ESPN)
Pick: Missouri +7.5
The Tigers have quietly gone 5-0 straight up and 3-0-2 against the spread with an easy win over Indiana plus a blowout win over Vanderbilt.
Missouri senior quarterback James Franklin is 100 percent healthy and has thrown for 13 touchdowns while running for 278 yards.
Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray is one of the top Heisman Trophy candidates, but his supporting cast has disappeared. His three starting wide receivers are all out for this game, and it appears his top two running backs also will not play. The Tiger defense has 12 sacks in the past two games.
Getting over a TD in this game is a gift. I expect this to be a hard-fought game with Missouri having a very good chance of winning this battle between the hedges outright.
Lee Sterling of Paramount Sports is considered to be one of the top five monitored handicappers in the country. He's had 21 straight winning football seasons and last year won 64 percent of his games on his executive phone service. His plays can be purchased at either www.paramountsports.com or by calling 800-400-9741.
Richard Chang
Game: No. 17 Florida at No. 10 LSU
When: 12:30 p.m. Saturday (CBS)
Pick: Under 48
Games between these teams are always very physical with a few big plays thrown in. This year should be no exception with Florida boasting the the No. 2-ranked defense.
LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger has thrown for 15 touchdowns against only two interceptions this season. He has two great and explosive wideouts in Odell Beckham (more than 19 yards per catch and six TDs) and Jarvis Landry (leads the team with 42 receptions and seven TDs). LSU leads the nation with 35 completions for 20 yards or more. They also have a good ground game led by Jeremy Hills, who averages over 7 yards per carry with nine TDs.
This will be a matchup of strength with LSU's offense against Florida's defense. Florida leads the nation in time of possession at 37:39, which will give LSU less time to score. I look for the total to be between 36-43.
Richard Chang is one of the most feared bettors in the world and has captured the RGJ college handicapping challenge three years in a row. You can purchase his selections by calling 800-921-9296 or through his website at www.richardchangsports.com.
Josh Nagel
Game: Boise State at Utah State
When: 5 p.m. Saturday (CBS Sports Network)
Pick: Boise State -6.5
Coming off a bye, Boise State is ready to take advantage of a deflated Utah State team that just lost one of the country's top quarterbacks in Chuckie Keeton, who suffered a season-ending injury last week against BYU.
Keeton's value is reflected in the spread - if he were healthy, this line would be reversed by at least 10 points, as the Aggies would be favored by a minimum of 3.5 points. The adjustment on the spread still isn't enough.
Led by senior QB Joe Southwick and standout running back Jay Ajayi, Boise has scored 100 points in its past two games, and its defense continues to make strides.
Although Utah State's defense is solid enough to keep this one close for a while, look for the surging Broncos to pull away and win by double figures.
Josh Nagel is the editor of RGJ's Best Bets and a veteran of the sports handicapping industry. His sports betting work has appeared in USA Today, on Covers.com and Docsports.com. He also is a regular contributor to the William Hill U.S. Sports Radio Show on ESPN 94.5 FM. Follow him on Twitter @JoshNagel1.
Dennis Ranahan
Game: Indianapolis at San Diego
When: 5:40 p.m. Monday (ESPN)
Pick: Chargers +1.5
On Monday night, the San Diego Chargers host the Indianapolis Colts in a perfect example of overcorrection based on last week's results.
Indianapolis was in a great spot to end the Seattle Seahawks' perfect season last week following Seattle's emotional road win at Houston. The Colts took advantage of the solid motivational spot and won.
Last weekend, the San Diego Chargers were in a tough spot as a road favorite against division rival Oakland, following a Raiders home loss and Chargers upset home win over Dallas. The Raiders capitalized and handed San Diego a 10-point loss.
The Colts now get too much credit for last week's win, and the Chargers are undervalued following their loss.
This week, San Diego is in the right motivational spot to succeed and because of last week's results are given a home underdog role, which is insurance on a likely straight-up win.
Dennis Ranahan is the founder of Qoxhi Picks and is in his fourth decade of delivering clients both reasons for his choices and winning point-spread results. To learn more, visit www.picksfootball.com or call 800-543-9342.

All-Star break begins early for Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo
Manager Ron Washington gave slumping Shin-Soo Choo a head-start on his All-Star break by holding him out of the Texas Rangers' lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.
Choo is hitting only .152 for his last 33 at-bats. The first half overall has been disappointing for Choo, who is hitting only .244 with a.742 OPS.
"He's got to get himself back mentally," Washington said.

Clipping fetlocks?
It is show season, and I don't show my horse a whole lot (just in some schooling shows) but my trainer normally clips her horse's fetlocks off completely for the shows. My horse is outside a lot though, so he probably needs some protection from all that sun and moisture. I want to trim off just enough for him to have some protection but still look neat for shows. Do you know exactly how much fetlock hair he needs for it to continue to serve its purpose?
My horse is out for about 12 hours a day, and he has his entire lower legs clipped. He'll get scratches once in awhile, but not anything worse than when he has full hair. My logic behind clipping is to prevent the fungus that he always seems to get on the front of his hind legs every summer, and it works. I wouldn't be too concerned if you're just tidying up the long hairs on the fetlocks- he will be fine.
It's winter over here...
I have a chestnut TB with 3 stockings... He has a full body clip and he copes fine in the paddock 24/7.
Your horse will be fine with as little or as much hair as you choose to leave on.
I have 2 pasture kept horses, and both get their lower legs clipped, winter or summer.
It makes the mud easier to rinse off and I haven't had scratches since I've started clipping.
Posted via Mobile Device
I much prefer to have a horse's lower legs clipped, winter and summer. It is so much easier to dry them and avoid scratches when they are clipped. I also think a horse looks more polished and sharp if you are showing. But, if you truly do not want a close shave, clip going with the hair rather than against it. You will take off less hair that way.

Posted by Chip Patterson
Emptying out the notebook from the ACC Football Kickoff earlier this week:
Miami head coach Al Golden on "Swagger":
"I'm so tired of talking about 'swagger.,'" Golden answered. "Swagger, as it was said to me by Alonzo Highsmith and so many of the other former players, was the by-product. It wasn't the product, it was the by-product.
"Just like throwing up 'the U' is the by-product, someone's making money off that. They sell t-shirts on that. For us, the swagger was developed from demonstrated performance, having a chip on your shoulder, and from work ethic. From being the hardest working team and being a tough team, playing with passion. All of the sudden you have people saying Miami plays with swagger.
"It only takes a couple years where you have kids that think you put on the uniform and automatically get swagger because you wear 'the U.' But they don't want to do the other things that made the U special. We have to get back to that, we have to get back to doing all those little things."
Maryland head coach Randy Edsall on his practice philosophy, and how the Terps reaction to the new speed:
"I'm not one of these guys that likes to waste a lot of time in practice," said Edsall. "Our practices are high tempo. I think if you ask our kids I think that was a shock to them, in terms of how we practice and how fast we practice. It's an up-tempo practice where we are going to get a lot of reps in and we're going to coach them on the run. Do our explaining in the meetings, but on the field we're constantly moving."
Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson on the defensive struggles in the unit's first year under Al Groh:
"I think there were growing pains. With guys learning the terminology and the expectation level. But I'm excited about it, I think Al's [Groh] got a package. He's got a great reputation as being a defensive coach, and it's pretty evident if you're around the man for long he understands defense. I think that we'll have a good defense, their going to get better."

Russian Ponchiki Doughnuts
Q: What do you get when you cross a Russian doughnut with a Timbit? A: Ponchiki!
I had never heard of these dense, cheesy fritters before yesterday, but they seemed appropriately Russian-Canadian-snackable to serve up while planted on the couch glued to hockey or snowboarding or luge. We've already started to call them Those Little Russian Doughnuts.
They're made with farmers' cheese, a dry, crumbly cheese that looks like ricotta would had it been pressed a little more. Ricotta would work just as well – I added some sour cream to the farmers' cheese to moisten it a bit. Some recipes I came across called for raisins in the dough – I used currants, which are more easily dispersed and seem like an ingredient my grandmother would have used. Not that she was Russian – they went into her butter tarts. But someone's Russian grandma must have used them. Perhaps when I'm a grandma I'll make Russian ponchiki. And Ukranian peroghy and Belgian beef carbonnade, and Danish Æbleskiver.
The dough is dense and cheesy – I had more than a cup of farmers' cheese left, and so went ahead and used it – most recipes called for the spoonfuls of relatively wet batter to be rolled in flour before being lowered into the the hot oil, but mine wasn't sticky enough to need it – it could be rolled into neat balls by hand without making much mess. Either way.
Once nicely deep golden, set them on a double thickness of paper towel and douse in icing sugar.
Get yourself a fresh cuppa coffee and eat warm.
Russian Ponchiki Doughnuts
1 cup farmers' cheese or ricotta
2-3 Tbsp. sour cream (if the cheese is very dry)
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
¼ cup raisins or currants (optional)
extra flour, for rolling
canola or other mild vegetable oil, for cooking
icing sugar or cinnamon sugar, for dusting
In a medium bowl, stir together the cheese, sour cream, sugar and egg. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and stir until you have a thick batter. If you like, stir in some raisins or currants.
Put some flour in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Scoop medium spoonfuls of batter and roll in flour to coat. Heat a couple inches of oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking – a crust of bread should sizzle if you dip it in. Gently lower a few ponchiki at a time into the oil – don't crowd the pot – and cook until golden on the bottom. Flip and cook for a few minutes on the other side, until deep golden. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
Dust with icing sugar or cinnamon sugar while still warm. Makes lots.

Julie, did you know that ponchiki means 'little ponchki'? And the Poles make the ponchki too? My husbands favorited are filled with plum jam !

YUM Laura! I saw a version filled with chocolate too… so much experimenting to do!

Oh YES PLEASE! These sound amazing – shall aquire ingredients and set forth asap!
erin on 11 Feb 2014 at 6:11 pm #
Ah! So this explains your tweet yesterday about the microwaved cheese and raisin snack – which I have to admit, did not sound very appealing to me. These, however, look delicious! I might just have to make them for an Olympic brunch on Sunday. (I asked my boys what our theme should be; Russian, around the world, or Olympic, and they want Olympic….so now I am wondering if Olympic athletes would eat french toast casserole and drink prosecco…..probably yes?)
Julie on 12 Feb 2014 at 6:35 pm #
Actually Erin, these had nothing to do with that tweet! I had been talking about weird snacks – my first confession was chocolate cake with sour cream – but people said that wasn't weird! so I brought up my mug o' melted cheese with raisins.. something I started doing when I was a kid, and still occasionally do!
And yes.. I'm sure Olympic athletes would eat french toast casserole and drink prosecco! totally.

This looks soooo good. My mom is first generation Lithuanian and growing up she would make Varšk??iai which are savory cheese cakes sort of like these ones. I haven't had it in years though!

Chloe Sutton competes in the women's 1500m freestyle during the 2012 Charlotte UltraSwim Grand Prix at the Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center on May 10, 2012 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
By Phil Minshull, Special to Universal Sports
Swimmer Chloe Sutton could end up as one of the most unpopular winners in London if she fulfills her dream and wins the women's 800m freestyle.
To be fair to Sutton, it will be nothing she will have done apart from show off her superlative skills in the pool, but to see the Stars and Stripes being raised will mean that she will have left the British heroine Rebecca Adlington trailing in her wake.
Adlington won the event four years ago in Beijing, coming home in the world record time of 8:14.10. She was hailed as the sport's Golden Girl by the country that hosts this summer's Olympics, winning a myriad of awards at the end of the year as the top British sportswoman of the 2008.
The 23-year-old Briton has continued to be the woman to beat over the distance and also took the gold medal at last year's World Championships, when Sutton came home fourth, but the California native's swim in Shanghai last July confirmed her as a genuine medal contender.
A self-confessed military brat born on the Vandenberg Air Force Base, Sutton initially shone at open water swimming and contested the 10km event at the last Olympic Games, in which she finished 22nd at the tender age of 16.
For a year or so after Beijing, Sutton tried to juggle being both an open water swimmer and a success in the pool.
She swam in three events at the 2009 World Championships – the 400m, 800m and 1500m freestyle competitions – and made the final in the later, before turning professional late in 2009.
Going pro meant she passed up on the opportunity to go to college and the following year graduated from high school through an independent study program which was also around the time she showed she was a pro in her attitude and decided to concentrate on the shorter distances rather than spread her resources.
"It was what was making me happy. When I closed my eyes and tried to picture myself on the medal stand, I pictured myself at a pool instead of on the beach," reflected Sutton recently.
Now, regardless of her result in London, she stands on the verge of Team USA swimming history by becoming the first American to be an Olympian in both open water and pool events.
However, if she is to bring that mental picture to reality then she knows she will have to raise her game and improve from her best time of 8:24.05, which she swam in Shanghai.
Adlington leads the world again this year with the 8:18.54 she clocked in the British Olympic Trials.
Denmark's 2009 800m freestyle world champion and 2011 silver medalist Lotte Friis is also in great shape; and lies second in the world rankings with the 8:22.10 she produced to win at the big Rome meet on June 16.
In addition to the European challenge, China's new 15-year-old sensation Xin Xin should be in the hunt for medals.
Sutton's coach, the Mission Viejo swimming guru Bill Rose, reckons it will take times of 8:18 to get on the podium in London but his pupil has been ahead of the curve for the last two years since focusing on the pool and could make that leap into new territory.

It's been a rough seventeen months for Americans whose calling is to fight for the rights of people who've been stripped of them by force—young men and women beaten to death in full view of the world by the agents of their oppressors for daring to demand that their votes be counted; others hacked to death with the complicity of the autocrats in power over them for having been born the wrong color or to the wrong tribe; girls subjected to the lash, or, worse, murdered by their own mothers, fathers, or brothers for appearing in public in the wrong company; believers imprisoned for professing faith in the wrong god or the wrong political system; non-believers sentenced to death for "wronging" a wrathful, vengeful religion. And it's been a dreadful period for the victims themselves, left as they have been to ask themselves in silent desperation what has become of their champion. At the despot-happy opening act of his presidency the current occupant of the Oval Office announced that these people weren't going to be his business, and though his secretary of state might have seen to them—it being actually within her reach to become the voice of the world's voiceless, with a whole Human Rights Bureau designated for that very job just down the hall—she never has managed to get really full-throated about it.
Until now. Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton have found some victims of rights-transgression who are of very great interest to them – indeed, since, some of them are here at home, and sinned against by America herself!
Welcome to the human rights policy of the Obama administration: By presidential proclamation, June has been declared Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month, or just plain Pride Month for short, because, the president says, "An important chapter in our great, unfinished story is the movement for fairness and equality on behalf of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community." (And by the way, how come they only get a month? Why shouldn't they get a whole year?)
Of course, there cannot be an Obamic proclamation without some serious self-congratulation for the directing of people to do things they are already doing and instituting of policies that are already in place, and he doesn't disappoint:
Bad and ludicrous enough. But it's Mrs. Clinton's fawning speech in honor of "Pride Month," which she delivered the other day to members of the "LGBT community" who have fanned out from the mother-ship of state, as it were, into the wide and widely diversity-intolerant world to set things right, that's the truly breathtaking expression of this perversion of a policy.
Here are the highlights:
Once upon a time we had a president with a very different vision of the meaning of human rights:
A mere three years have passed since President Bush uttered those words in Prague. It feels like a lifetime ago.

|I, too, am saddened by the split up of the collection of the MoC. However, there is the possibility that each of the three sections may eventually grow into large, independent collections, so one day there could be three "whole" ACW museums instead of only one.
I don't think Appomattox was the best choice; what's wrong with Petersburg? Maybe too much competition from Pamplin Park?
The Confederate White House will certainly be victimized next by the growth of VCU Hospital, just as the MoC was. I cannot believe museum leadership didn't force the hospital/VCU to grant some kind of concession to the museum -- big deal, the univ. let you park free in the hospital garage! -- like monetary compensation for lost revenue due to the "blocking" of the museum.
Will admit that a visit to Chancellorsville will be augmented by the museum; so a visitor will have Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, The Wilderness, The Stonewall Jackson Shrine, Spotsylvania, AND THE MUSEUM to see during a stop in that area -- the tourist certainly will need more than a few hours to take in the sights; they'll have to stay OVERNIGHT in a local motel, dine in an area restaurant as well, buy books and souvenirs at the musuem. Can anybody say "increased revenues"?
Fingers crossed!
