SEPANG, Malaysia, March 23, 2013 (AFP/Talek Harris) - McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh sidestepped questions about his future Saturday but admitted "we lost our way" with a new car design after their early season woes continued at the Malaysian Grand Prix.
Whitmarsh, under fire after failing to win a world title in four years at the helm, conceded 2009 champion Jenson Button and Sergio Perez had little chance of victory in Sunday's race after they qualified just eighth and tenth respectively.
And Whitmarsh, who watched his drivers finish ninth and 11th at last week's season-opener in Australia, did not rule out the radical option of scrapping the car and returning to last year's model.
"Clearly we lost our way in developing this car. Formula One is a relentless and unforgiving environment for mistakes," he said. "The fact is we took too long to realise that. We are responding now. This weekend and last weekend have been incredibly difficult for the team.
"People expect us to be at the front, we expect to be at the front. And every time the car left the garage it was an experiment in process. And the car has a long way to go."
The poor start to the year has set off a clamour for the return of successful former team principal Ron Dennis, now McLaren's chairman. Whitmarsh said that would be a decision for the shareholders -- and joked that fans like Dennis "because he's warm and cuddly".
McLaren lost Lewis Hamilton to Mercedes last season, with technical director Paddy Lowe now headed in the same direction. New technical chief Tim Goss is such a recent appointment that his name, on a sticker, is pasted over Lowe's in the Malaysian Grand Prix media guide.
Whitmarsh said it was not his decision to take the "risk" with the new car, hinting that Lowe was instrumental. And he said "all things are options" when asked if McLaren would return to the 2012 model, which won the last two races of the season.
"All things are options. We've not ruled anything out but we've made progress here," he said. "We want to make this car into a winning car... but I recognise we haven't given them a good enough car to give them the comfortable option of winning the race tomorrow."
However, Button said improvements were already noticeable with McLaren now closing the gap on the leading teams. Button and Perez will start Sunday's race in seventh and ninth after Kimi Raikkonen was hit with a grid penalty.
"We'll work hard, we will get to a position where we can win. We've had some black moments before and we've come through," Whitmarsh said.

fan vote to win a fan favorite award.
Those contestants are Aztec's Tyra Gabehart, Piedra Vista's Zhianna Flores and Bloomfield's Haili Bekes.
Gabehart, a senior, was an all-state soccer player who led the Lady Tigers to a second-place finish in the state tournament. She was also a North/South All-Star basketball selection and a member of the state championship winning Aztec track and field team. She also served as an athletic trainer during all three sports seasons.
Flores, a junior, won three individual track and field state championships and set the state record in the 200-meter dash. The junior has cracked the top-10 nationally in some of her events.
Bekes, a senior, was a three-sport athlete for Bloomfield who led the Lady Bobcats in volleyball, basketball and softball.
Voting will go on until the morning of Tuesday, May 28, and winners will be announced on May 29.
During her senior season at PV, Hegarty led the volleyball team to the first state championship game appearance in school history and a second-place finish. She also won state track and field championships in both shot put and discus, helping the Lady Panthers to a third-place finish in track.
For all of her athletic accomplishments, Hegarty is recognized as The Daily Times San Juan County Female Athlete of the Year.
"This is the cherry on top of my senior year — to get this kind of thing and to be appreciated by the community. It is a great feeling," Hegarty said.
Hegarty has been one of the top female athletes in the county since her sophomore year at Aztec High.
She transferred to PV as a junior, and she sharpened her skills to become one of the best volleyball players in the state.
"I don't know if I ever saw it in myself. I just get out there and play my sports and do well at them," Hegarty said when asked when she first realized her true athletic prowess. "I have a great support system with my family and my track and volleyball coaches and teams. Being surrounded by people like that allows me to be the best of my potential. I have the best female support staff, and that lets me be the best female athlete."
Hegarty became the first PV volleyball player to sign a Division I scholarship when she committed to Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
PV volleyball head coach Ron Becker said it is Hegarty's ability to lead by example that helped push the team to new heights in 2012.
"She is a huge leader on the court with everything she does. She leads by example and doesn't just talk about it," Becker said. "The biggest trait she brings is the ability to set the pace and establish a work ethic that everyone else has to match. She set the bar so high, people really have to come up to it. To have that is big. Coaches can tell you whatever but, when a player is out there doing it, everyone else really follows along."
Becker called it a blessing to have coached Hegarty for two seasons in high school and in club volleyball.
"I am really going to miss that girl. It is neat to have had an athlete of that caliber," he said. "She is an amazing all-around athlete. When she played basketball, she was great at it. She was great in track. I hope to see more athletes like her, because I know we have girls at this school who have watched her and want to emulate what she has done."
Hegarty graduated with a GPA higher than 4.2, while also working on her athletics for countless hours outside of practices and games.
"Since sophomore year, I haven't really had a life. It is definitely paying off now with college and that fun stuff," she said. "Even after senior year, I have gone to open gyms to play with the girls. You have to put in the time before to get the payout now. I am glad I put in the time the last three years. Working five to six hours a day during the summers has made it so I can work on new things now to get me ready for college."
Hegarty said it is still a bit painful when she remembers her volleyball team was just a few points away from winning the volleyball state title game against St. Pius X in November 2012, but she takes gratification in leading the program to new heights.
"Ron Becker has supported me immensely and has done everything under the sun that is volleyball-related for our program. I wanted to win state for him," Hegarty said. "Even coming in second was huge, though, because the highest we ever placed before that was fifth. Breaking into the state title game let everyone in this area know we can do it. It is not just for the teams down south that are big and bad and have reputations. Little towns like ours can get to that game and make things happen."
Hegarty said winning state titles in shot put and discus at state track and field gave closure to her high school athletic career.
"I joked at the beginning of the year that if we didn't win state in volleyball that I would go out for track and field because I had to win a state title sometime in my career," she said. "I am glad I did."
While Hegarty ran away with the award this season, she recognized the accomplishments of several other athletes in the county.
"From PV alone, you have Kaleigh Graham and (Zhianna) Flores getting it done in their sports. Sarah Root over in Aztec is a track superstar," she said. "Then you have Kelcie Gerry and Tyra Gabehart at Aztec who have played soccer for so long. They are all amazing athletes, and it is so hard to pick one girl in my mind. There is so much talent up here it is ridiculous."
Hegarty came up in an ultra-athletic family with brothers, Riley and Matthew Hegarty. Riley Hegarty graduated from Brown University, where he played quarterback for the football team after a stellar career at Aztec High. Matthew Hegarty currently plays football for Notre Dame after his own accolade-filled high school career.
"It is fun getting awards like this because we all sit around and joke about which awards we have and haven't won in comparison to each other," she said. "Growing up in my family, you had to excel above and beyond to get noticed. It was really cool. Just coming here to accept this award, my brother, Matt, told me how proud he was of me. Having that support from the family is a blessing.
Editor's note: The athletes were chosen by The Daily Times sports editor John Livingston and sports reporter Joshua Perry for their newsworthy athletic performances and contributions to their team(s) and school, not on statistics alone.
John Livingston can be reached at email@example.com; 505-564-4648. Follow him on Twitter @jlivi2.

Apple next week will announce a phased transition to Intel chips, according to CNET News.com. Apple will announce that it is ending its partnership with IBM and will begin using Intel processors in Macs as early as next year, the report said. The announcement, expected at Apple's annual WWDC developer conference where CEO Steve Jobs will deliver a keynote address, would follow weeks of speculation after The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple was considering building Macs around Intel processors. UPDATE: A new Wall Street Journal article confirms the transition plan outlined in CNET's report. "An industry executive familiar with the matter, contacted Saturday, verified that schedule."

Shares of Apple fell five percent today following a report published by AppleInsider that Apple is seemingly overstocked on most iPod models with about a month remaining in its third fiscal quarter. Most Mac models are also following a similar trend, the report said. Shares of Apple fell yesterday after it was reported that as many as 2 million people who purchased iPods before May 2004 may be able to file claims under a settlement preliminarily approved by a San Mateo, California, Superior Court judge. Goldman Sachs yesterday maintained an "in-line" rating on Apple, saying it expects little sequential growth from the company's iPod line.
Apple has announced a free recycling program for the iPod. Beginning today, customers can bring iPods they no longer want to any of Apple's 100 retail stores in the US for free environmentally friendly disposal, and those who drop off an iPod, iPod mini or iPod photo will receive a 10 percent discount on the purchase of a new iPod that day. iPods received for recycling in the US are processed domestically and no hazardous material is shipped overseas. In April, environmentalists lashed out at Apple for its environmental practices. Shortly thereafter, Apple CEO Steve Jobs shot down criticisms about the company's environmental practices.
Artlantis R is a tool for performing high resolution rendering in real time. The new FastRadiosity engine lets users compute images in radiosity -- even in preview. 3D objects and vegetation can be used directly in the preview window by simply dragging and dropping them. This enables users to work on different scenarios quickly and to simulate true virtual scenes in a real environment. Like its predecessor, Artlantis R is designed based on the original concept of constant preview window interactivity, with user defined modifications and settings. The preview image is calculated each time a change is made to the lighting, subject or environment settings, enabling the user to control all adjustments without losing time.
The Santa Clara Court of Appeals yesterday issued an "Order to Show Cause" asking Apple to tell the court why a petition filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) in favor of several online journalists should not be granted. EFF represents AppleInsider and PowerPage, two Mac rumor sites whose records Apple sought to subpoena in order to determine the source of leaked information on forthcoming products. Yesterday's order allows EFF to seek oral argument. In March, Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge James P. Kleinberg ruled that Apple had the right to subpoena the electronic records of PowerPage. "An interested public is not the same as the public interest," Kleinberg wrote.
Livid has released Union 1.5, a major update to the its Mac VJ and performance software. Union features triggering, playback, sequencing, and effects for realtime performance and creation. It offers realtime multimedia control and manipulation for video artists. Union supports layers with separate realtime effects, more than 100 effects, integration with MIDI controllers, music- or file-based triggering of video, the ability to record video to disk, and more. Version 1.5 offers optimized playback performance, timeline sequencing, up to four layers of effects per source, and advanced modules. New interface features include, intuitive LFO's, a larger Clip Bank, autofade, and effects triggering. The software is available now for $300.
In anticipation of the release of The Sims 2 later this month, Aspyr today made Body Shop, a standalone, character-creation tool, available as a free download. The Sims 2 Body Shop allows players to design unique Sims that can be used within the game and shared with other players. The Body Shop allows players to select a Sim's skin tone, eye color, hairstyle, facial hair, makeup, clothes and more. This tool gives players a detailed level of control over a Sim's look through a wide range of facial types and sliders that will fine tune each feature including nose length, eyebrow thickness, lip curl and chin shape. The Sims 2 will sell for $50.
Banc of America Securities maintained a "buy" rating and $44 target price on Apple, saying the company will likely use its Worldwide Developer's Conference to introduce rumored 2-gigabyte and 4-gigabyte flash iPods. The event may also showcase the long-awaited iTunes-enabled cell phone from Motorola. "We do not see a video-enabled iPod at this event," Banc of America said. "Video content continues to be a challenge for Apple/iPod." The research firm said new flash products won't be enough to materially impact the stock. "While the iBook and eMac are due for a refresh, we don't think it will come at this event," Banc of America said. However, if new iBooks or eMacs debuted, the firm said they would have an impact on Apple's stock. "Comments on using x86 processors to materially lower systems cost" would also help boost Apple's stock, Banc of America said.

Shares of Apple fell $1.89 to $38.15 after it was reported that as many as 2 million people who purchased iPods before May 2004 may be able to file claims under a settlement preliminarily approved by a San Mateo, California, Superior Court judge. The lawsuits claimed that Apple misrepresented the iPod battery's playing life. Apple said it will issue $50 vouchers or warranties as part of a settlement with customers that had problems with the digital-music player.
Jonathan Ive, iPod designer and vice-president of industrial design at Apple, won the coveted President's Medal for his contribution in promoting engineering excellence with the design of the iPod. The award was handed out at a ceremony in London, which was attended by the U.K. government's minister for science, Lord Sainsbury. The U.K.'s engineering body also awarded CSR the prestigious MacRobert award for its single-chip BlueCore technology. The President's Medal is given on an to people or organizations who have made "significant contributions to the Academy's aims of promoting engineering excellence," but are not eligible for election to the Academy.
"Starting with the Xserve, the company once labled as being for 'Artists Only' has become more than just an irritant to IT departments at all levels," writes columnist John Welch. The Datamation article looks at Xsan, which is, "if used correctly, a solid entry into the midrange SAN field, and a compelling product for SMBs, especially those doing multimedia work, or for any company with a multimedia department." Welch says Xsan may not be for everyone: "if you need to have a large amount of clients talking to the SAN front ends, you're going to need to plan your SAN setup carefully. Otherwise, you're going to find that while manageability has gone up, speed has dropped." Luckily, Apple has made Xsan "less painful than it could be, by charging a rather low per-machine price."
The PortalPlayer microchip that runs Apple's popular music player is made in India, Taiwan, China and Silicon Valley, explains Salon.com, in a recent article on outsourcing and the iPod. "Is this an example of how globalization works to everyone's benefit -- or a sign that the world economy is about to roll over America?" Headquartered in the U.S., PortalPlayer got its chip into the iPod "by outsourcing or subcontracting every possible step of design and manufacturing." PortalPlayer's software, however, was made at least partly in the U.S. "When we talk to our customers," says PortalPlayer's Michael Maia, "what I say is, we're a firmware development house but we also sell semiconductors." That software, according to Salon staff writer Andrew Leonard, is "PortalPlayer's competitive advantage, the intellectual property that makes songs on your iPod sound good and the device easy to use." The code is written by PortalPlayer's developers in Santa Clara and Kirkland, and at its fully owned subsidiary in Hyderabad, India. "Everything else that can be spun off, is."

Jamaica still has a trash problem. Local residents are dumping illegally, despite Department of Sanitation efforts to catch them and the city's effort to clean up the neighborhood, NY1 reported. Since the station first reported the garbage problem in March, officials said that 37 lots have been cleaned ear 107th Avenue and Sutphin Boulevard. But undercover sanitation officers still find people ditching old mattresses and garbage. The situation has led some residents to protest at Borough Hall after Borough President Helen Marshall refused to meet with them.

Sewickley library among northern libraries hosting How-to Festival
From raising chickens to making craft beer, seven community libraries will offer a day of "how-to" programs and activities that allow visitors to try something new.
"It's a day where people can learn how to do almost anything at their local library," librarian Meghan Snatchko of the Sewickley Public Library said. That library will join those in Avalon, Fox Chapel, McCandless; and Hampton, Shaler and Richland townships for a How-to-Festival on June 22.
At Shaler North Hills Library, a chicken will help a retired librarian show program participants how farm fowl can be raised in suburban environments, said Marie Jackson, adult services director.
The former librarian "was auditioning her chickens to see which one would be a good performer," Jackson said.
If backyard farm creatures aren't an option, participants at Northland Public Library in McCandless can learn a kinetic meditation method called Zentangle, spokeswoman Donna Rau said.
The abstract drawing technique uses repetitive patterns that can act as a calming mechanism, she said.
The festival is a chance for libraries to strut their stuff, Rau said.
"The library can be a community center as well as a place of books and learning," she said. "These different programs open up people to the library."
The event also gives people a chance to explore other communities and libraries, said Jackson, of the Shaler library.
While someone can take out a book on an activity, said Diane Illis, assistant director of Northern Tier Regional Library, some hobbies are better learned through experience such as playing the flute or using sign language, two programs planned at the Richland Township library.
"If you want a book, you go to the library, but that's not always how people learn," Illis said.
Gone are the days when patrons came to the library exclusively for reading material, Rau said.
"We're bringing people to the library for very unconventional reasons," she said. "Libraries are an exciting place to be."

When a girl moves to a small town,Things are not always...
I'm 15 years old, and I love to write. I day dream every moment of every single day. I have to say I'm sort of dark, and sometimes it shows in my writing. I would rather read 100 books than sit infrount of the T.V. I hope you like what I write. This is the only way my day dreams can seem like a reality. :)

If you haven't already tried MOR body butter then this is the perfect time! It's on sale at Space NK for half price!!! The fragrances of these creams are to die for. I'm using the pomegranate flavour at the moment. It was discontinued a while back but the smell is divine beyond words.
It's not just the smell that's nice. The texture is really spongy and fun to apply whilst it also leaves you super moisturised. I don't know that I'd apply this in the mornings when you want to get dressed straight away. It's more the type of cream you'd put on with pyjamas and get into a warm bed.
Definitely check it out while it's on sale!!!

Caviar, oysters, cheese, truffles, beef. Great French food comes to Paris from all corners of France and is found in thousands of restaurants, shops, markets and bistros. One of our greatest joys when in Paris is to discover, learn about and eat more of the produce of the country.
Food and wine are importants parts of French culture, and Les Français treat it both seriously and with joy. It's hard for us who come from other countries and other cultures to truly appreciate how much food in woven into the very fabric of French life.
Because of its importance to the country, all of the best food produced in France is subject to stringent regulations to ensure the quality food, its origin and that consumers know exactly what they are buying.
Most of these food standards are embodied in the AOC system, or Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (controlled designation of origin). Early examples of controlled designation systems date back to the 15th century. Champagne and Roquefort are two familiar examples.
For a cheese to be labelled "Roquefort", for instance, it must be produced in that designated region of France, made with only certain types of milk, from certain cows, in a certain way and aged in certain caves. And so it goes with many types of food in France.
As you can probably tell, we love the foods of France. So, we'd like to share more fascinating information about the special foods you will encounter when you're in the City of Food.
Bon appetit !
Visit a Paris fromagerie and you'll be astounded by the choice in cheeses from different animals, from different regions and made in a variety of ways.
Come with us and get a chance to (virtually) sample some of the 1000 types of cheese made in France today.
You might know that the French adore crusty bread, but did you know that the baguette was created to make a bread with more crust?
It's simple geometry — the longer a shape is the greater the ratio of surface area to volume. In the case of the baguette, that means more crust!
Marie Antoinette brought the croissant from Austria, but it was the French who made it famous.
Parisian croissants are amazingly light and flakey thanks to a skillful layering of butter and dough, butter and dough, butter and dough.
Do you think Marie should have said, "Let them eat croissants"?
Smoky, silky and delicious, one of the most famous French specialty foods has to be caviar.
We never really ate caviar until we tasted it in Paris. It's been one of our fave food finds in France!
With dwindling supplies of sturgeon in the wild, the French have been growing their own caviar for a hundred years by farming sturgeon in the Dordogne. We'll tell you where to find the best caviar in Paris.
Who are the biggest butter eaters in the world?
The French, of course! And it's no wonder — we think the butter they eat is the best made anywhere in the world. Butter even has two AOCs!
It won't come as much of a surprise to find out that one of the reasons French butter tastes better than ours is because it has an even higher butter fat content. Go figure.
Paris is crazy about oysters, and so are we!
Did you know that 90% of the vast French oyster harvest is consumed in France and about half of the 150,000 metric tonnes annual crop is eaten between Christmas and New Year?
What's more, with modern oyster raising techniques the tasty little molluscs can pretty much be eaten year-round, although we still prefer our September to April oyster feasts.
Diamant noir, black diamond, Texas tea (we're kidding about that one) is the name given to the precious black truffle — the most prized of all French foods.
Come along with us on a visit to a trufficulteur in Provence to learn how truffles are grown and harvested. We've also discovered the best places to get truffles in Paris.
The French are very particular about their meats and so, of course, they strive the have the very best — including hearty French beef, prized Bresse chicken and fresh line-caught fish.
You can learn a lot about these meats and other fresh products by visiting a French market. That's what we did and we learned about the amazing history of these staples of French food.
Ever wondered what famous French foods your'e going to find in a Paris street market or one of the city's covered markets?
The tradition of weekly and daily markets in France goes back perhaps 2000 years, and it's still strong today. It's where we always find the greatest selection and the freshest, best-looking and tastiest products.
Join us as we learn all about French markets, unearth the mysteries of the AOC system and find out what all those mysterious produce signs mean!
Now that we've got your mouth watering it might be time to tell you how to prepare great French meals in your own kitchen.
It's easier than you might think, we do it every night! And we're happy to share our recipes with you.

It was one of the only local races yesterday - Whitley County Jailer. Incumbent Ken Mobley won by more than 2,000 votes.
But that race drew some extra attention in recent weeks because of a dispute between the jail and the county sheriff's department.
Whitley County Jailer Ken Mobley will spend four more years in his office. He said he is excited that voters put their trust in him.
"They showed that faith by electing me pretty handily," said Mobley,"We're moving forward, and this spring we are planning on planting a garden to grow a lot of our food."
But booking policies and procedures of the county's detention center have come into question in recent weeks.
In October the jail refused to accept an inmate under the influence until he was medically cleared. That sparked a spat between the jail and the sheriff's department.
"We've met with the Commonwealth's Attorney and the police officers, and I think we're all on the same page. And hopefully it will not happen again," said Mobley.
"I am for the betterment of law enforcement in Whitley County, no matter who it is, just so the right thing is being done," said Colan Harrell, Whitley County Sheriff.
While the concerns appear to be cleared up, Mobley said you can never be too careful.
"There's just so many drugs out there - you have to be real cautious on intake," said Mobley.
The jailer said he is glad to have his post so he can keep serving the people of Whitley County. He believes it's obvious folks have moved past the incident.
Eight write-in candidates were also on the ballot. One received more than 500 votes. Mobley received more than 3,000 votes.

The Winter Olympics are great fun, but you've got to sympathize with Russian athletes who not only have to wear those ugly uniforms but also are under intense scrutiny from President Vladimir Putin, who smiles as warmly as a tarantula.
Pairs skating isn't really my favorite sport until they fall down. But it is interesting to listen to the announcers describe the technical moves like the triple deluxe chicken squat inverted tiptoe swizzle spin. And when that Russian couple won, they didn't look happy; they looked absolutely relieved as if they just avoided getting sent to Siberia.
I don't know whether punishments await those Russian athletes who fail, but I do know that Russians are tough people. This winter weather we're all complaining about? To Russians, this is like their July. They swim in these temperatures.
I grew up with an aunt who was Russian. She was short, a little taller than Mini Me, but when I was kid, she was as menacing as Hannibal Lecter, only without a mask. She scared the bejesus out of me. I learned as I grew up that she was a very nice, loving person who cared about me quite a bit. But she never let me get away with anything.
Since I was the youngest and only boy in the family, I felt I deserved treatment that was different than my sisters. And when I didn't get it, I would feel slighted. And when I felt slighted, I needed to act out, which involved a variety of tactics, including but not limited to tears or running to my father or both, depending on the severity of situation.
But when my uncle and aunt visited from Chicago, things changed a bit. She would have none of that. And she used a trick on me that was so effective it made me stop fussing immediately out of fear of what might happen if I didn't knock it off.
As an adult, it made no sense. But as a child, what she did was so terrifying, so frightening that I did whatever she said. I even ate all my oxtail borscht and cleaned part of my room after my mom made my bed.
When I was acting up, she would whip out that secret weapon from her apron and it would make me behave faster than Justin Bieber in a Canadian customs office. That secret weapon was a dish towel. And it had an immediate effect.
But it wasn't just any dish towel. What she would do is twist it in front of me. And she did it in an intimidating way. While she twisted it, she would say "Tak, tak, tak," which I assumed was Russian for "Say goodbye you snotty little brat."
To this day, I have no idea what it meant or what exactly she was going to do with that kitchen towel. Was she going to vigorously wipe my face? Make me dry the dishes? Snap me with it like the guys do in a locker room? All I know is I didn't want to find out. I remember seeing this little Russian woman slowly coming toward me while twisting a kitchen towel and saying "Tak, tak, tak" and that was enough. It was scary because it was confusing yet spooky. Like a Vincent Price movie.
But it worked. And I can't explain it. Of course that method was only effective when I was young, so it stopped working by the time I was in my 20s. But to this day, I still have a strange fear of kitchen towels.
So while I cheer for the Americans in the Olympics, I have a soft spot for the Russians because they have a lot of pressure to win. And if they don't, they probably will have to answer to Putin. And he looks mean. I bet he's got a kitchen towel in his pockets, too.

LSU quarterback Jarrett Lee will play in the biggest game of his career Saturday at Alabama. The game will be televised on CBS at 7 p.m.
BATON ROUGE - On Saturday, it will be Game of the Century day.
"We've really had a pretty quiet week," Alabama associate athletic director Doug Walker said Friday afternoon. "I'm sure that will change soon. Other than that purple cape being draped over the statue, nothing crazy has really happened."
In the wee hours of Friday, Oct. 14, University of Alabama Police found purple garb over the national championship statue depicting Alabama coach Nick Saban - a Superhero of sorts in Alabama as he was in Louisiana when he was LSU's coach - next to the other statues of Alabama's national championship ...

about Attack Memphis
Playing music in a genre that is plagued with breakdown after breakdown, it was extremely important to each member of Attack Memphis to have a unique sound that distinguished them from other bands. The well thought out, innovative and somewhat experimental songs that followed are a testament to that.
Attack Memphis is a band that was started by guitarists Jake Harry and Derrick Gonzalez. Together, they wrote brutal riffs and soon were in the hunt for more members. In their search, they found Tim Dowler who added crushing drumbeats to the mix. Just as the band was getting its feet on the ground Dan Glenn joined the band, along with his impressive slap style bass lines. Stephen Zadrozny rounded out the lineup as the vocalist. His fascinating lyrics, along with an intense delivery, get the crowd rocking every time.
The boys of Attack Memphis have put together a tremendous amount of material in just a few months. This can be accredited to the experience and skill level of each individual musician. They have already put out two demos and have enough songs to make a full length album. Though the band is young, they have already played at notable venues including Toad's Place and El 'N' Gee and have many more shows in the near future.
AM has put in so much time and hard work into their music, the energy they give off is overwhelming. The most you can do is come and support these young men while bringing along your dancing shoes. The time has come for the journey to begin and AM is asking you to come along for the ride.
Attack Memphis has no upcoming events posted.

January 2012 • Volume 2 Issue 1
Winter Break Fun at Parks, Recreation and Marine
During the two-week winter school break, kids and teens had lots of choices for fun at their local park. Winter Fun Days From December 27-30 and January 3-6, Long Beach Parks, Recreation and Marine offered "Winter Fun Day" programs at 24 parks and at Long Beach Unified School District campuses including nine WRAP (Winners Reaching Amazing Potential) and seven ROC (Recreation on Campus) sites. All locations were open for six hours each day. The free non-custodial, drop in program for youth 5 to 14 years of age was full of fun for all participants. Throughout each week, craft projects included making friendship bracelets, calendars and scrapbooks. New Year's themed projects such as 2012 eye glasses, party poppers, streamers, hats, noisemakers and confetti eggs ensured that New Year's Eve would be a special event for all. Kids had plenty of opportunities to play outdoors. Freeze tag, kickball, softball, tetherball, basketball, tugo-war, dodge ball and relay races, sack races and double-dutch jump rope contests were just some of the active fun that was offered. Board games, charades, karaoke, musical chairs, scavenger hunts, trivia contests, cooking classes, year-end parties and trips to movie theaters and ice skating rinks added to the fun and ensured that there was never a dull moment for youth looking for something to do over the winter break. Teen Centers The four Department Teen Centers at Chavez Park, Houghton Park, McBride Park and Silverado Park were also open throughout the two weeks to provide a safe, productive and fun environment for teens ages 13-18. The teens enjoyed crafts, sports, games and field trips. El Dorado Nature Center Winter Break Workshops El Dorado Nature Center staff designed two-hour workshops centered around a different science theme each day. Parents could register their K-1st grade children for morning Park Naturalist Chris Rougier, sessions and 2nd-4th Michelle Vieville and Erika Treller with pine cone. graders for afternoon sessions. Kids explored wildlife including birds traveling the flyway highway, animal tracks, and fungus, bacteria and insects. They made crafts from pinecones, seeds, and other found items on the trail with textures, colors and patterns. Inspired by the "music" of animals, they also built instruments. Other workshops taught youngsters how to use nature's "GPS" system and find their way by recognizing landmarks, tracking the sky and using a compass. In the "Survivor Kid" session, survivor skills like finding shelter and building a fire were taught.

Walking Dead Executive Producer Talks Season 3 And Comic-Con
Season 3 of the hit AMC show The Walking Dead has been shooting for a little while now. We've gotten some looks at new characters and even heard a little about how the season's story arc. Executive Producer Gale Anne Hurd spoke with AMC about the new season, the longest one to date, and teases what they will be bringing to Comic-Con.
Season 3 is going to be a massive 16 episode run. With the longest season to date, there comes some challenges:
It's really a marathon this year. The advantage is we have had some cooler weather in May and we'll be going into cooler weather again in October. The challenge is maintaining the same intense level of storytelling that our audience expects of us, and we certainly plan to deliver on that.
Some fans got a little bogged down withs season 2 being completely on the farm. That's going to change with the new season. We know we have the prison and The Governor's camp coming up this season. Gale Anne Hurd touches on what she's looking forward to:
I will say that I loved the farm, but it is good to be off the farm. And the contrast between our [two main sets] this season is so great…We're setting up this first community that is functioning in a post-zombie apocalypse. We get to see not only the advantages of putting civilization back on its feet again but also the dark forces at work in what may seem like a Utopia.
She also talks about how you have to focus on crafting a rich character-driven story, because you only get scares and jeopardy from situations if you identify with the characters. Besides the human threat, the zombies will "up their game" this season as well. There will also be some animatronics used, a first for the show.
Obviously we have the absolute best makeup effects team on the planet, led by Greg Nicotero… And every year he ups his game. So we're not just seeing the same old thing. This season, we're going to have puppeted animatronic zombies and that's something that we haven't seen before.
And she really teased what Comic-Con attendees will get to see this time at the panel:
We like to bring a special reel for the fans at Comic-Con so they can see a special sneak peak of Season 3 before everyone else. It's sort of a reward for waiting in line to getting it into the hall. And we'll be bringing a larger contingent of our cast and crew than ever this year. And also because we began shooting a lot earlier this year, the reel will contain a lot more footage than it has in the past.
If you're going to Comic-Con you're in for a treat. Since they have been filming for a while, the sneak peak will probably have a look at The Governor, Michonne, and all sorts of goodies. The third season starts late this fall. Thanks to Stubbz for the heads up.

It may come as something of a surprise to certain Europeans, like, oh, say, the Greeks, but Europe's making progress, according to J.P. Morgan's Jamie Dimon. DJ's Erin McCarthy relayed his comments from this morning's conference call:
"In the last couple months they've made a lot of progress," says JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon on an earnings call, citing the ECB's bond-buying program and ongoing conversations about a banking union. The fact that Europe is only in a "mild recession" is another positive sign, he says, but warns that he thinks the situation there will still be a "roller coaster" and the bank must be prepared. However, JPM will participate if there are some good opportunities in Europe, such as asset fire sales, he says. "I hope they continue to make progress; the tone [there] is good," he adds.
This is similar to the tone Germany's Angela Merkel struck this week when she made her first trip to Greece in five years, telling the Argives that there was light at the end of the tunnel, if they'll just keep pressing forward.
The Greeks don't see it that way, of course, and neither does the IMF, for that matter, which is pressing the eurocrats to ease the terms on Greece. So far, though, the German's are resisting that idea, and don't think the Spaniards aren't watching this whole thing very closely. You think Spain wants to take a bailout and end up a few years down the road where Greece is today?
We doubt they'd call it progress.
For more MarketBeat and other streaming markets coverage from The Wall Street Journal, point your mobile browser to wsj.com/marketspulse.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is paying a visit to Greece tomorrow, and while the one-day goodwill tour may strengthen at least the appearance of solidarity among the two nations, the sticky fact remains that Greece needs either more money, or a break on the terms of its prior bailouts.
But it isn't likely to get either. Charles Forelle explains from London.
For more MarketBeat and other streaming markets coverage from The Wall Street Journal, point your mobile browser to wsj.com/marketspulse.
Just like that, stocks have boomeranged off early session lows.
Major stock indexes were down more than 1% all day long. Then the Twittersphere started blowing up a few minutes ago with headlines saying Germany's Angela Merkel has canceled tonight's press conference.
All of a sudden, stocks bounced back with a vengeance. The Dow is down only 37 points, after earlier dropping as much as 176 points. The S&P 500 is down 0.4%. Financial stocks have moved well off earlier lows, while energy and consumer staples have turned positive.
The extent to which Merkel did something significant is still unknown. She may have postponed a briefing because the Summit is running later than expected. She may still speak later. Details are hazy at the moment.
It's unclear how this canceled press conference would have such a positive impact on stocks. Perhaps she's planning to take more time to mull over "eurobonds," or some other way to help ease tension in the euro zone.
Or perhaps Italy's 2-0 lead over Germany has her all out of sorts.
Regardless of whether the two are related or not, stocks have staged an impressive comeback during the final trading hour.
No sooner than the market started to digest the ramifications of the Fed statement — and in the modern world, that "digest" took about 1/1000th of the time it just took you to read that — and selling, than yet another rumor started floating through the market.
Before we tell you what the rumor was, we'll tell it was also quickly repudiated. These rumors out of Europe are flying fast and thick these days. It's a game the pros can play, but it's a killer for the little guy, kind of like a 5′ 8″, slow-footed, 43-year old journalist who hasn't shot a basketball in 15 years trying to guard LeBron James.
Anyhow, this was the rumor:
Sounds like Frau Merkel's caving, right? We didn't put that headline out, for the record. But how many times have we heard this recently, or some variation on this? Too many to count. Soon after, however, we did publish this headline on Dow Jones Newswires.
*DJ Merkel: No Concrete Plans For EFSF to Buy Bonds
Populist sentiment against Germany's austerity-minded chancellor, Angela Merkel, is bubbling up in Spain, the latest euro-zone economy in the market's cross hairs.
Twitter keeps track of terms "trending" among users. At the moment, the online service says "Stop Merkel" is the No. 2 phrase used by Website's 140-character-a-post users in Spain.
Also among the Top 10 in Spain: "Fitch." The ratings firm on Thursday slashed Spain's debt rating by three notches.
Worldwide, Twitter users aren't quite so economically minded. Merkel doesn't show up among the service's most-used phrases, but "Germany's Next Top Model" does.
The Sarkozy half of the Merkel-Sarkozy alliance, a pairing that's jokingly referred to as "Merkozy," is on the verge of fading into history.
And that spells risks for the sanctity of the euro.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy is trailing socialist Francois Hollande in his bid for re-election, a danger for the euro zone that markets appear to have overlooked.
Hollande "will be more hesitant to toe the hard line and may even have a hard time passing a constitutional budget amendment," says Sassan Ghahramani, president and chief executive of SGH Macro Advisors, a think tank based in New York.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel will later Friday talk to French President Nicolas Sarkozy over the telephone, with the "current situation in the euro zone" among the issues to be discussed, a spokesman for Ms. Merkel said Friday.

Coming off the embarrassing Sunday night loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Cowboys-Seahawks game on Fox at 1 p.m. on Sunday will be called by Chris Myers and Tim Ryan. The game will be broadcast to only 19 percent of the country.
The Cowboys move to CBS next week when the Buffalo Bills visit. CBS will have Jim Nantz and Phil Simms on the call.
NFL Network's "A Football Life," this week focuses on Tom Landry. If you missed the debut on Thursday, replays are scheduled for Saturday at 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. as well on Sunday at 5 a.m. and Wednesday at 4 p.m.
Says Mike Ditka, who played and coached for Landry: "Throughout history they can write anything they want to ever write about the Dallas Cowboys. But it begins and ends with one name: Tom Landry."

Zynga Shares Rally Amid Yahoo Scuttlebutt
Subscriber Content Read Preview
Subscriber Content Read Preview
Zynga shares have been rallying, gaining 10% on Monday.
The reason? Speculation from some analysts on a potential takeover by Yahoo.
The speculation stems from comments a Yahoo's M&A head made last week about working on two "significant" acquisitions and about six smaller talent "acquihires," comments reported by All Things D. That had analysts playing guessing games and throwing around the gaming company.
But our colleagues over at Digits have some cold water to splash on those Zynga shares.
UPDATE: Shares are now falling Tuesday, down 4.4% to $3.77.
From Matthew Lynley:
There are some good reasons to make this kind of speculation: it's a natural content fit with Yahoo, and the company would be a cheap purchase — if only to pick up mobile engineers, for which Yahoo has made a priority.
By Ian Sherr and David Benoit
How do you draw "disappointing"?
Zynga's ambitious purchase of OMGPop, the maker of "Draw Something" is looking particularly ugly in the wake of the company's disastrous quarterly report.
Shares are down 36% to $3.25 in after-hours following the disappointing earnings announcement, with one reason being "challenges" on Facebook's platform.
But Zynga also said it is seeing reduced sales from "Draw Something," the hit mobile game that many analysts believe Zynga bought at its peak in March. The $183 million deal, Zynga's largest to date, came after "Draw Something" rocketed to the top of the most-downloaded lists at just six weeks old.
In its previous earnings release, Zynga hiked up its annual estimates due to expected benefits from "Draw Something's" sales. Now, the reverse appears to be true.
By John Letzing
Zynga CEO Mark Pincus stopped short of praising his company's recent $183 million purchase of OMGPOP, the maker of hit game "Draw Something."
The game's audience was growing rapidly at the time of the purchase, but its popularity has since waned.
"It's too early for me to say that acquisition is successful," Pincus said.
Zynga shareholders, led by CEO Mark Pincus, are looking to sell 43 million class A shares of the gaming company, three months after it went public.
Pincus is cashing in some 16.5 million class B shares, 18% of his count of that class, but just trimming his voting power to 35.9% of all shares from 36.5%. Class B shares carry seven votes for every one class A, but are converted to class A when sold.
If sold at Thursday's close, Pincus's proceeds from the sale would be some $228 million.
Along with Pincus, two firms that own 5% stakes are selling too. Institutional Venture Partners, the holder of the third-most shares by voting power, is selling 5.84 million shares and Union Square Ventures, the fourth biggest holder, is selling 5.23 million shares.
Also selling in the offering is SilverLake Partners and Google, both selling just under 4 million shares.
Zynga's stock is, through Thursday's close of $13.85, up 39% from its IPO price of $10 on December 15, but were down 1.9% to $13.50 premarket.
The holders are offering 43 million shares with the option for underwriters to go up to 49 million, which would increase the class A shares outstanding by over one third.
The secondary offering are an attempt by the company to stagger what could have been a large flood of shares when the initial lockup periods end for shareholders, a person familiar with the company said.
The original IPO had scheduled for all holders to be locked into shares until late May. The amended filing says non-executive employees holding 115 million shares will be able to sell at the end of April. Executive shareholders selling in this offering are locked up until July and August.
Also disclosed in the filing was that Zynga's purchase of "Draw Something" creator OMGPOP earlier this week was for $180 million in cash. The company had not commented on the financials, though media reports had put it between $200 million and $250 million.
The six-week old "Draw Something" has shot to the top of the most popular games being downloaded, and Zynga swooped in with its most expensive purchase yet. The company's filing already added "Draw Something" to its list of best portfolio games in the filing.
Zynga last night wasted no time in buying up one of the hottest mobile games out there, "Draw Something", paying about $200 million to $250 million for the game's creator OMGPOP.
So far, Wall Street is responding with enthusiasm.
The deal fits a pattern with Zynga, where the company goes out and scoops up games and developers, booking large amounts of goodwill on its balance sheet in the process.
According to Zynga's IPO filings, the company looks for acquisitions to boost growth, which it considers an important part of its strategy. In 2010 and 2011, Zynga made 22 deals in total spending $105.1 million. For those deals, the company now has $91.8 million in goodwill on its books, meaning the vast majority of the prices Zynga is paying for these companies is for intangible assets.
Zynga's biggest acquisition was 2010's purchase of Newtoy Inc., the creator of "Words with Friends", one of its most popular games. The company paid $53.3 million for Newtoy, including $44.3 million in cash and 1.4 million shares. Of the deal, $41.4 million was booked as goodwill.
Zynga hasn't released any values on the OMGPOP deal–Dow Jones has reported the $200 million to $250 million figure citing sources familiar. But it is likely the purchase follows that same trend, particularly given Zynga is buying a 6-week old game and touting the creators and talent it is getting with OMGPOP.
Still, while analysts say it is too early to tell if this deal is expensive, they say OMGPOP and "Draw Something" are a good addition to Zynga's stable. And so far the market has shares up 3.5% to $14.20.
Zynga is buying game-maker OMGPOP for between $200 to $250 million, Dow Jones Newswires is reporting, snatching up a six-week old hit game that fits a key Zynga need: It doesn't run on Facebook.
OMGPOP has gone viral with its "Draw Something" game, which it says has been downloaded more than 35 million times since it was launched.
"Draw Something" is resembles an online version of Pictionary — one player draws a picture and another player tries to guess what it is. Zynga says it is the No. 1 word game in 84 countries.
Zynga confirmed Wednesday morning that its shareholders would be selling up to $400 million in common stock, just three months after the gaming company's IPO.
In a filing with the SEC, the company said the shareholders, which it didn't name, would take all the proceeds. Zynga says the offering is to "facilitate an orderly distribution and to increase the company's float."
The Wall Street Journal had reported late Tuesday the offering was expected, citing a person familiar with the matter.
The offering comes sooner than Zynga's lockup period would have allowed, but the WSJ said the objective was to ease volatility in the stock.
Zynga's IPO was priced at $10 a share, but fell below that level the first day and dropped to a low of $7.97 in early January before spiking back when Facebook unveiled IPO plans. The stock hit a high of $15.91 in intraday trading on March 2, but has given back some already. Shares closed at $13.38 Tuesday and were down slightly in premarket trading.
The chatter last year about Zynga's IPO was how dependent the social games company was on Facebook. It turns out Facebook is pretty dependent on Zynga, too.
Mark another notch in the lapel of the Morgan Stanley tech-team today.
As the team reportedly moves toward sealing the deal to lead Facebook's giant IPO, coming as soon as this week, a major knock on the team is looking a bit brighter today.
Zynga, the biggest U.S. internet IPO of 2011 and a big win for Morgan Stanley, has climbed back above its IPO price of $10. It's trading at $10.13 today, up just under a percent. (a hat tip to Kevin Kingsbury.)
One criticism of Morgan Stanley in the fight to get the Facebook leading left had been that some IPOs the bank led last year didn't do so hot, with Zynga being example A. The stock priced at $10 and jumped right out of the gate to $11.50, but quickly soured. It closed down on Day 1 and fell as low as $7.97 earlier this month.
If the Facebook deal was still slightly open, Morgan Stanley can, at least for right now, give itself a better performance grade today.
J.P. Morgan unveiled in a federal filing this afternoon it owns a 6.7% stake in social-gaming company Zynga Inc., a stake that would be worth just over $61 million according to Monday's close.
J.P. Morgan a year ago kicked off a new social-media fund, planning to raise between $500 million and $750 million, but wound up raising around $1.2 billion. The fund was announced right after Goldman Sachs got its chance to invest in Facebook, a plan that caused quite the stir. It isn't clear from the filing how J.P. Morgan owns the Zynga stake, or how much it paid for it.
The stake would make it the fifth-biggest holder in Zynga, behind private-equity giants Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, and Morgan Stanley, which recently upped its stake.
Zynga went public last month at $10 a share, but promptly fell under the initial price. J.P. Morgan was listed as an underwriter on the deal.

The Most Horrible Diseases Ever to Tremble the World
These horrible diseases really make it difficult for those affected to live normal lives.
Lion Face-Like Syndrome
A man called Yang Hui Ming, suffered from this strange disease since he was four years old. At this young age, a lump as big as a mung bean grew on his left eyelid. Later this lump became bigger and bigger as time passed. When his age reached eight, this lump had already reached a diameter of 3 centimeters. Not long after that, his left forehead protruded to form a knot making his appearance resemble a lion.
Updated: The latest article: The most horrible diseases ever to tremble the world 5 (or The deadliest and most horrible diseases that shock the world).
Premature Senility
At first glance these children seem to be elderly people, perhaps in their 90s. Scientist believes that the occurrence of this disease is due to a minor error in the human genetic code. Most of the children born with these scary diseases only live up to 13 years of age. The premature death is due to the rapidly aging physical process taking place in their bodies. Forty-eight cases of this rare disease have been reported around the world.
Cushing's Syndrome
Four-year-old Xiao Xin has suffered a strange disease of "Cushing's syndrome" that causes an increase of 3 to 4kg (or 6.6 to 8.8 pounds) in her weight within half year. Sometimes, within a month, her weight can increase as much as 8kg. Up to now, this four-year-old girl has weighed as much as 70kg (or 154 pounds) while only standing 86 centimeters or approximately 34.4 inches, or less than 3 feet tall. Her weight is reported to be twice that of an obese child.
Blaschko Stripe Disease
This strange and appalling disease covers the body with these rare stripes. This disease was first found by a German Dermatology expert in 1910 while he was dissecting the human body. The stripes establish hidden pattern within human DNA. Many of the congenital and hereditary skin and mucous membranes diseases may show the appearance in accordance with this pattern and finally forms stripes on the human body.
Human Wolf Syndrome
Children who suffer from this disease will grow extremely big, with a dark appearance skin; abundant hairs grow elsewhere from parts of body, particularly near the face until the face is fully covered with variety sizes and textures of wolf-look-like fur. This disease is called human wolf syndrome. The sufferer looks like wolf.

|Initial validation of a brief provisional diagnostic scale for delirium.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20645705 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: The Delirium Diagnostic Tool-Provisional (DDT-Pro) is a newly developed provisional diagnostic tool for delirium presented here. This study evaluated its accuracy and validity in a population of participants with acquired brain injury (ABI).
RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.
METHODS: Thirty-six patients with ABI, including traumatic brain injury (TBI; n = 29) and intraparenchymal haemorrhage (ICH; n = 7) were assessed at admission to inpatient rehabilitation using the DDT-Pro, the Delirium Rating Scale-Revised 98 (DRS-R98) and DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria for delirium.
RESULTS: Using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the estimate of accuracy, the area under the curve (AUC), was 0.994, and the DDT-Pro accurately classified 35/36 (97%) observations vs the DSM-IV-TR gold standard. The DDT-Pro correlated well with the DRS-R98 both in terms of raw score (r = -0.913, p < 0.0001) and estimates of the duration of delirium (r = 0.975, p < 0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: The DDT-Pro is supported as a measure of delirium following ABI. Further validation in ABI and other medical populations is recommended.
