Wow!! What a great week for Photoshop images!! Normally we know that there has been some Photoshop manipulation with various images, heck, this is NAPP for goodness sake! We HOPE there's at least some Photoshop with portfolio images. That doesn't mean beautiful photographs aren't appreciated. Far from it. It's just that we love it when talented Photoshop users share their images and we know what had to go into the piece. It seems even more pronounced this week though because there's a side-by-side comparison in one case, and because of the artist captions in other cases. Again, this doesn't mean pure photographic skill isn't appreciated. It is, and there's one image featured this week on photographic technique alone. It's just really cool when there's great quality Photoshop work and the artist reveals his or her post-processing efforts.
This week's winner is a beautiful model retouch (and self portrait) by Crixx called CriXx-before-and-After. You really need to enlarge the image so you can see the craftsmanship in the retouch. Some things are subtle while other aspects are especially apparent, but in the end, there's a fantastic retouch as a result. With images like this there's a temptation to over smooth the skin and the model often ends up looking like a wax figure. The skin texture was left in tack but perfected. And the application of subtle makeup during post processing is also especially impressive. The eye retouching is first rate and then the richness and texture of the hair is even impressive. Seeing a before/after like this really highlights the expert hand!
Bradley Miles delivered a tremendous car show image called Great White Fairlane Cut Out.jpg, simply because he took the time to cut it out of the background and reestablish a great shadow. So often people capture car show images and just "sorta" cut out the car and leave some of the ground in place. Or they leave big, ugly reflections there that give away the real location of the car. Another problem with car show images is the over dark tires and plugged shadows in the wheel wells. All of these typical problems aren't apparent here.
When it comes to photographic technique and mastery of lighting, Zach Ancell really shows his stuff with the piece TRAJECTORY. The way Zach captured motion, depth, and color is especially incredible. The partially lit motion blur isn't just in the standard "wave." This shows specific change of direction and then the frozen, perfectly lit subject at the end of the motion trails shows expert technique. Capturing athletes in motion is challenging. Making it into art and capturing that part of the motion shows vision and technical prowess.
Last year NAPP member Mike Campau impressed quite a few of us here at NAPP HQ with his series Motion in Air. He took beautiful images of dancers in the air and built CGI image swirls around them which interacted beautifully. By adding a darker theme and much more reflective and detailed CGI swirls he has updated his theme with some fresh and even more dramatic images. Red is just one of several posted to his portfolio and they're all quite impressive and worth studying. When you're looking at these images, consider the light and shadow of the dancer on the swirl and vice versa. He had to make the dancer appear to really be in the same space as the CG swirl and that's not easy.
Chad Branton brings us a commercial image designed to promote cheer leading competitions and a convention center called Cheer for Sevierville. On it's own, this is a nice image, but then read his caption about his challenges getting everyone in a group this large to pose, look at the camera, and smile and then light the models and letters as well as minimize the bright backlight. Both quality photographic skill and compositing come into the mix. A solid accomplishment and good use of Photoshop!
Great work and beautiful images everyone. Photography or Photoshop, all these images are the work of skilled experts! Comment here and let them know and be sure to visit their portfolios too.

Man Having His Anus Cut Off While Attempting Rape on Village Girl
by Yamin2011 on 10/09/11 at 3:36 am
Man having his anus cut off while attempting rape on village girl.
1st September. Eid in Bangladesh. The village of Pathkathia, Barisal did finally seem to cherish itself from its muddy gloom. Closed shops decorated with banners wishing everyone Eid Mubarak. Building gates newly-colored by untamed artists charging no penny for the masterpiece. The people's nostrils finally seemed to be filling up with the aroma of freshly steamed pulao (rice), meat, beef and the menu of sweet vermicelli is obviously worth mentioning. Backyards bathed with blood dripped off slaughtered cow-throats, front yard inundated with the smoke from the pots and pans in which were cooking the most delicious meals and cooking ever spoken of, already mentioned before. Streets clean, men and their sons hugging each other and young girls playing and dancing on the lanes, wearing colorful clothes.
Unlike every Eid, the Ahkamia orphanage did not rejoice their holy festival so merrily like always. It was quite different, as they were celebrating their golden jubilee fiesta, distributing rations to the whole village, and singing, dancing, and crossing all limits of merry-making. Every orphaned kid that day did feel as if their parents were having a rebirth, that they were someone to be taken care of, someone to be cherished. As being a member of the orphanage, every kid was assigned a task so that they could get over the preparations for their festivity.
So was Folani, with the chore of helping the elders with the butchering, of the two outsized cows that they had slaughtered. This strong-willed girl did actually seem to work honestly and by heart, and was known to the whole village for her adorable, and as other villagers would say, seductive behavior. Only if Folani had known that a local goon had been eyeing her since the last two or three days.
It was when she was approaching the water pump to fetch a bucket of water for washing the knives and other butchering tools. A decorated microbus, which more looked like a transport for a wedding in the village, seemed to trail its way towards the brawny adolescent. Two men jumped out, grabbed Folani by the arm; shoved her inside the microbus while she fell unconscious for the hit of a big cane by one of the culprits. The next sight that Folani had experienced was her tied up with a bed, half-naked and the common goon of their lane, which she had known by the name "Chocolate," naked too. It was too late that Folani had realized that she was going to be harassed. The only source for self-protection that she could think of, was if she could somehow unbolt her hands attached to the bed and reach for the knife that was stuck to her back, and so she did. As soon as nude chocolate neared her, she swung the knife around him. Chocolate leaped into a horrific roar, as if he was in pain. Folani could feel his anus lying on her stomach, as she grabbed it to show it to the unbelieving police as a witness for the crime committed on her.
Molestation is being considered a big crime in Bangladesh, but still not taken action against for the disloyal police officers.

As a soon to be grandmom/daycare provider (baby is due in July), I was wondering if my son and his wife are supposed to leave some sort of medical treatment permission letter with me. I know if (God forbid) the baby needed emergency lifesaving treatment at a hospital, that it would be provided, with or without parental permission. However, I've heard of cases where there was an injury and the child was forced to wait for non emergency treatment until the parents could arrive to sign permission forms. When my kids were little, I gave my parents (who occasionally babysat) a letter allowing them to give permission for medical procedures in my absence. Does anyone know if this is still done? Does something legal need to be drawn up or will a letter do? BTW, I'm so glad I found this board. I'm both excited and terrified to be facing the amazing joy and massive responsibility of my new "job." It's nice to connect with others in the same situation. Thanks for being here!
medical treatment release form?

You're very welcome! And welcome to this group, as well! Congrats on the coming baby! Hope the mom has an easy and healthy delivery! And I wish a lot of joy to you all! Good luck, too, as you embark on this great adventure as a GP 9grandparent) caregiver! Of course, you're excitded - and nervous, too. In fact, you're cocern about emergencies may reflect some of that general fear. But I think it's very wise to get all your questions "out there, " beforehand. I admit, though, that I don't have the answer here. Perhaps somneone else does? You might also want to post this question in Ask GrandFamilies of America (under "Family," above). Usually, they deal with legal questions for GPs who have or are seeking custody or guardianship, but someone there may have the answer to this one. Meanwhile, please feel free to come here and voice any and all of your concerns about caregiving. And don't forget to tell us when that baby-doll arrives!

Hi -- When the children were living with us we had the parents to draw up a letter and also a copy of medical card for emerg--Now i have custody and i still have to give permission per letter if kids go to disneyland with friends or on field trips so i would get a letter from parents and that way there is no doubt in case--- eight
Posted 14 March 2010 - 07:46 AM
Thank you both! It's so nice to know there are other GPs in the same situation. You're correct about the "fear" factor.... My oldest (the soon-to-be-Dad) is going to be 30 years old soon, and my youngest will be 28. It's been a long, long, LONG time since I've changed diapers and been responsible for a tiny being. I'm sure I'll get back in the saddle, but it is scary. Being responsible for your own child is scary enough (when my godson was taking his new baby home from the hospital, he confessed to looking around for someone to stop him from leaving. He couldn't believe he was being allowed to leave with this human being who he knew nothing about caring for!). Looking out for someone else's baby is even scarier. But I told my DS and DDIL, no one will love their baby more or look out for his safety as much as I will (except, of course, his Mom & Dad!). I guess the rest will come back with time and exposure. Fortunately, DDIL will be going back to work gradually, a few hours a day at first, so I should be able to slide into daycare slowly.... I will certainly be posting here with questions and triumphs, as they come along. Thank you so much for this resource!

Hello! I have care of my grandchildren pretty much 24/7 for the last few years. A few months ago, I needed to take one of my 5 yr old granddaughter to the Emergency Room for a suspected asthma attack which could have been life threatening. My DD was not available, unable to be reached & the father isn't in the picture. Although I have had done this several times before, with no problems, the facility now required a specific consent form signed by the custodial parent to allow me to have her treated. This was due to the new HIPPA regulations. It took an emergency court order for me to give consent to treat. This was initiated with the help of the facility's Social Services Dept for the once only situation. It is really tough feeling helpless in that type of situation. Fortunately, everything worked out fine. I do have the consent form now, so that I don't have to go thru that agony again. I can have either of the girls treated when needed. I suggest that you check with your local hospital and/or physician's office to verify if they require a specific form, if one can be kept on file for future reference, or if needed for each visit. Also ask if they will accept a "notarized letter" from the custodial parent. This is signed by the custodial parent w/identification in front of a Notary Public (most banks have one). I had found out that just having a letter wasn't acceptable because anyone could type or sign a letter. Once you have that form/letter, I would keep a few copies handy, just in case. Hope this helps aleviate your fears. skyapplefluff

Fireflies: Innocent Pesticide Bystanders
Growing up on a dairy farm in Bradford, Maine, I'm not sure I even knew what a fireworks display looked like — but that didn't matter. Every night in the summer we had our own fireworks show in the fields and lawns around the house and barn in the form of fireflies.
Catching the fireflies in jars and then bringing them into the dark bedroom was enough fun to occupy a curious 8-year-old for hours.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Well, maybe not. Overdevelopment, light pollution and applications of pesticides have conspired to make firefly sightings rare. The folks at www.firefly.org are worried about the mass die-off that has happened in the last generation and they have posted some pointers about what we can do to help the glowing wonders.
And here's a link to an article from yesterday in Detroit that inspired this post: http://detnews.com/article/20100917/OPINION03/9170325/1038/lifestyle01/Lawn-care-pesticides-threaten-extinction-of-fireflies#ixzz0zmo0ppA0.

I suppose all my past history is on here somewhere--with my terrible riding instructor, injuries (some directly caused by her, some irrelevant to horses at all), etc.
Well, I started working for a stable for lessons back in the fall. It was about minimum wage, 6 hours for an hour lesson. I found it extremely fair and I adored just being there and learning from her.
I stopped due to school, my grandfather was hospitalised with, and passed away with leukemia that developed into lymphoma, my father got married and her family moved in--it's been so hectic. And I've been miserable..with school, just..everything has been overbearing.
I got super depressed over the summer and getting back into horses (I completely cut it off with my awful instructor when her ("yep she only started taking a bit a week ago, it's your fault she won't trot at all over a two hour length of time, even if Buddy would canter circles for you") horse ran into a pole (why was there a telephone pole in the arena??) and I dislocated my knee and sprained it. Anyways, when I started again with a qualified English instructor, as opposed to the barn-owning backwoods western rider who taught herself terribly how to ride western in an English saddle (if you know what I mean) (and I'm sorry for ranting, lol), I found myself the happiest I've ever been.
I'm seventeen, btw. And working/riding with my CMT made me feel awesome..and just..mentally, physically /great/.
Well, I've been so depressed lately, for many reasons, I just..so stressed...I really feel like I need to go back. So once my foot heals from a sprained ankle/torn ligament. I wouldn't trust myself to ask for lessons in exchange--I'll try to explain my situation without excusing myself and pray she'll let me just work there for the experience--I'm hoping though because she said to call her back anytime she wanted to start working again, and I originally asked just to work for free anyways.
Anyways, just needed to vent. =/

Apple Launches Vanity URLs For Easier App Promotion, Discovery
Apple's tweaked its systems, so finding one app out of 800,000 should be much simpler.
As revealed in a Super Bowl ad for Star Trek: Into Darkness, Apple has now launched a new system using vanity URLs for app developers on its iPhone and iPad iOS platform. The URLs are linked after the address appstore.com/ and Apple's explained to developers that you can adjust these links between individual app names and the company name (and between the Mac App Store and the iOS one).
Apple already has distinct URLs for its apps so that users can look up the details on a website, but the new system promises to be much easier to access from a consumer point of view simply because it's more memorable. Apple recently revealed that there are over 800,000 apps on the iOS app store, so app discovery is a critical part of the business from a developer point of view. A separate push is attempting to get ".app" registered as a new global Top Level Domain name, in a different but equally simplified vanity promotion to Apple's.

This is definitely great news for app developers. Getting found by users will be easier this time around with this vanity URL option.

The traditional model of the benefits brokerage is terminal and on life support. As I talk with brokers and consult with agencies across the U.S., there's a growing desperation as they realize that "carrying quotes" isn't enough anymore. Even modifying the plan design and then shopping the medical for the lowest quotes no longer will get - or keep - the account.

Metal, typically gold [Au], nanoparticles [NPs] embedded in a capping metal contact layer onto silicon carbide [SiC] are considered to have practical applications in changing the barrier height of the original contacts. Here, we demonstrate the use of silver [Ag] NPs to effectively lower the barrier height of the electrical contacts to 4H-SiC. It has been shown that the barrier height of the fabricated SiC diode structures (Ni with embedded Ag-NPs) has significantly reduced by 0.11 eV and 0.18 eV with respect to the samples with Au-NPs and the reference samples, respectively. The experimental results have also been compared with both an analytic model based on Tung's theory and physics-based two-dimensional numerical simulations.

|Antibacterial activity against foodborne Staphylococcus aureus and antioxidant capacity of various pure phenolic compounds.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21034269 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Six pure phenolic compounds (hydroquinone, thymol, carvacrol, butylated hydroxyanisole, gallic acid, and octyl gallate) were tested for their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) against several strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from dairy and meat products. In addition, S. aureus reference strains (American Type Culture Collection) for antimicrobial studies and/or isolated from human infections and outbreaks of food poisoning were included in the study. Of the compounds tested, octyl gallate and hydroquinone were the most effective against S. aureus (mean MIC values of 20.89 and 103.05 μg/mL, respectively) and carvacrol and thymol the least (mean MIC values of about 413 μg/mL). The mean MBC values were 40.84, 194.37, 417.46, and 581.90 μg/mL for octyl gallate, hydroquinone, carvacrol, and thymol, respectively. Meat isolates were more resistant than those of dairy origin to hydroquinone, gallic acid, and octyl gallate, as well as to penicillin G (used as a control of the methodology used); gallic acid and penicillin G showed the highest differences in MIC values between the groups of strains (about 10 and 200 times, respectively). On the other hand, when we tested the isolates included in each group of strains (dairy, meat, and other/mixed sources) we only detected significant differences (p < 0.05) among dairy and isolates from other/mixed sources for hydroquinone and thymol, respectively. However, strains of meat origin exhibited significant differences among each other (p < 0.05) to most of the phenolic compounds tested (hydroquinone, carvacrol, gallic acid, and octyl gallate). The relationship between MICs and MBCs for each of the phenolic compounds tested suggested a bactericidal mechanism of action against S. aureus. Gallic acid and octyl gallate exhibited the highest antioxidant capacity and thymol and carvacrol the lowest. So, octyl gallate is an agent with both antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, which would be of interest to use in the food industry.

When the News Leader publishes its high school football previews Thursday, there will be one noticeable change. This year, for the first time, projections for district standings won't be included.
The two local districts - Valley and Shenandoah - still exist, but in name only. With the Virginia High School League going to a six-classification system, the only purpose districts serve now is making regular-season scheduling easier for athletic directors. Schools will still play a district schedule, but there will be no district champion, no regional berth based on district play and, in ...

WASHINGTON (January 4, 2013)--Americans blame too much screen time and cheap fast food for fueling the nation's obesity epidemic, but a poll finds they're not of one mind about how the government should help.
A third of people surveyed said the government should be deeply involved in finding ways to curb obesity while a similar proportion wanted the government to play little or no role, and the rest were in the middle.
Most people supported making restaurants post calorie counts on their menus, as well as more physical activity in schools, but they drew the line at policies trying to force healthier choices.
Nearly 6 in 10 opposed taxes on unhealthy foods, and three-quarters rejected limits on foods people can buy.
The survey is from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

This was the original Ichiban Weapon Ready header, way back when the blog was just an email sent to a "lucky" few…
Happy Cinco de Mayo! A few things submitted for your attention. Nothing major.
• FINALLY, SOMETHING IN THE "ABOUT" PAGE… Can you stand the excitement.
• UPDATE ON FIRES OF VENUS, the solo poetry site… Still pending, I'm afraid. So much for the "update."
• REVISED, REORGANIZED LINKS… Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
• WE DROPPED THE "WORDPRESS" FROM THE URL! Oh yeah, "WE." The hardworking, crack staff here at Ichiban Weapon Ready have been laboring night and day to bring this about! We still love WordPress, though. Obviously.
All for now. I know—I still haven't fired the INTERVIEWER. Rest assured, his day will come. Not tomorrow, though. Tomorrow… much bigger fish to fry.

Vince Valles keeps racking up the Salesman of the Year awards at Rudolph Chevrolet.
Valles, 69, sold 145 new and used vehicles last year. That's less than the 155 vehicles he sold in 2011, but enough to get his third consecutive Salesman of the Year award, and his 23rd in 24 years, the dealership reported. He narrowly missed winning the award in 2009.
He's been selling cars for 24 years, all of them at Rudolph Chevrolet -- the 52-year-old West Side dealership.
"Vince is an exceptional salesman," Debbie Bowden, general sales manager, said in a written statement. "He is absolutely, positively devoted to giving his customers exceptional service."
Valles said he had fewer sales last year because he missed two or three weeks of work due to knee surgery. But he made an extra effort in the last quarter to make up for those missing weeks, he said.
In a 2011 interview with the El Paso Times, Valles said he has a low-key sales approach.
"My sales technique is I'm not confrontational because a customer hates that," Valles said.
He then estimated well over half his sales come from repeat customers or referrals from past customers.
Valles estimates he has sold more than 4,000 vehicles in his 24-year career, the dealership reported.
Valles has no plans to retire.
"As God permits, I will keep selling," he said.

Penguins' early playoff exit still hasn't sunk in
Penguins/NHL Videos
The bags were packed, but the sticks, skates and sweaters weren't the only baggage the Penguins shouldered into the offseason. Their emotions were heavy, too.
"We're all disappointed with the way things ended," center Sidney Crosby said Tuesday afternoon as the Penguins prepared for a summer vacation that began sooner than they'd expected. Two days had passed since the Flyers had eliminated them from the playoffs, but the frustration lingered from losing the first-round series in six games.
"We expected better," Crosby said. "Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it now. We've got to learn from this and then be better for it."
After clearing out their Consol Energy Center dressing room, the Penguins said they still couldn't easily explain how they fell so quickly. This was the third straight playoff series loss for the Penguins, and the second consecutive season with a first-round exit.
"I think we realized it's tough to win," Crosby said. "Just because you've won before doesn't mean you can show up in the first round of the playoffs and walk through it. You have to learn some lessons like that some times. We got a tough one this year."
Family matters
Left wing Steve Sullivan, one of the few unrestricted free agents on the roster, is unsure what the future holds. But Sullivan, who turns 38 in July, said he greatly enjoyed his first season with the Penguins. After producing 48 points in 79 games, the Penguins would love to have him back.
"I'll have to meet with Dan (Bylsma) and Ray (Shero) and see what their plans are," Sullivan said. "And then I'll discuss it with my family. It's not a decision for just myself anymore."
Niskanen wants to stay
Defenseman Matt Niskanen badly wants to return to the Penguins next season. He is a restricted free agent this summer. After having difficulty adapting to the Penguins' system following a trade from Dallas in February 2011, Niskanen thrived in his first full season in Bylsma's system.
"I have fallen in love with this organization," he said. "I play my best here. I hope I'm back. It's not entirely up to me, but hopefully everything works out so that I'm back next year."
Malkin to Worlds
Evgeni Malkin agreed to join Russia in the World Championships next month, and Zbynek Michalek will play for the Czech Republic. However, Marc-Andre Fleury declined an invitation from Canada, as did Crosby, who wants "a healthy summer."
"Typically, I'd be there in a second," said Crosby, who dismissed Canadian critics. "But this isn't a normal situation. And this isn't me trying to hide away from the world championships. I love playing for Team Canada. I don't think anyone can question that."
The injury situation
A hip injury has bothered Kris Letang for a few years, the defenseman said, but "this year it's been bothering me a little more." His doctor has prescribed rest and has not yet recommended surgery, Letang said, but that could be an option. "It's not a major injury," he said. "It's something that can bother someone who likes to skate like I do — from a pain standpoint."
It was a concussion that kept defenseman Paul Martin from playing the final games of the playoff series. Martin was injured in Game 3 when Philadelphia's Brayden Schenn hit him in the first period. Playing hurt against the Flyers were Sullivan, Niskanen (shoulder) and right wing James Neal (thumb). Sullivan (foot) was hurt April 3 in Boston and needed a pain-killing injection before each playoff game.

Today, Swedish Eurovision heavyweight Christer Björkman confirmed that the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 will not take place in three different cities, and will be held in totality in either Stockholm, Gothenburg or Malmö.
In refuting the rumour that has spread amongst the fan community since Loreen won this year's contest in Baku, Björkman said that the concept would simply be too complicated, meaning delegations, fans, and television crews would have to be transported between cities within a day of shows and rehearsals.
Host broadcaster Sveriges Television is still considering which city and venue will play host to the contest next year, with Stockholm's Friends Arena, located in the suburb of Solna as the frontrunner. The host city and venue will be officially revealed in early autumn.

MTV Movie Awards Turn Into a 'Shore' Thing
by Matt Webb Mitovich | June 2, 2010 at 3:21 PM | Jersey Shore, RealityTV, TV News
The Sunday, June 6, broadcast of the MTV Movie Awards will bring much Jersey to Hollywood, thanks to heaping doses of the 'Jersey Shore' cast.
Starting at 8/7c, MTV will present the 'Jersey Shore Blow-Out At The MTV Movie Awards" pre-show, in which the entire cast of 'Jersey Shore' tries not to drip spray tan on the red carpet. You also will quite possibly will sleeveless tuxedos on the beefcakey boys, though I am just spit-balling here.
'Jersey Shore's Atlantic City Auditions Are a Bust
As part of the pre-show, Pauly, Jenni et al will "be on hand to present the world with the first 10 minutes of 'Jersey Shore' Season 2," trumpets MTV's press release. Yes, it is as if they are unveiling the polio vaccine.
MTV viewers will also be treated to the premiere of an actual music video (!) – "I Like It," performed by Enrique Iglesias featuring Pitbull and starring (duh) the cast of 'Jersey Shore.'
'Jersey Shore' Cast Requires Police Protection
Lastly, from the pages of "Heaven Help Us All" magazine, Snooki herself will join MTV Newsers Sway and Tim Kash on the red carpet, serving as a guest correspondent. Because really, someone has to ask the tough questions about acrylics versus gel tips.

How does Tony Romo compare to previous Dallas Cowboys QBs? These stats might surprise you
When Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo inked his six-year, $108 million contract extension in March, a common reaction was to compare Romo's salary to some of the top quarterbacks in the league. While Romo is certainly being paid like an elite quarterback, his lack of postseason success and 1-6 record in win-or-go-home games were immediately brought to the surface.
Following a season where a poorly thrown pass in the final minutes resulted in a Romo interception and a Week 17 loss to the Washington Redskins, eliminating the Cowboys from a postseason berth, pointing out Romo's shortcomings became far more popular than noting some of the 33-year-old's impressive career statistics.
Yes, Romo will not be mentioned among QBs like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger unless he wins a Super Bowl. But that doesn't mean his accomplishments should go unnoticed.
The Cowboys released their media game notes for the season opener on Tuesday. And inside were several interesting Romo-related stats. Here are a few.
– Romo is 4-2 in season openers, completing 131-of-195 passes for 1,949 yards, 14 touchdowns, four interceptions and a 115.1 QB rating.
– Of Romo's 177 career touchdown passes, 56 have come in the fourth quarter. Twenty-six have come in the first quarter, 51 in the second, 43 in the third and one in overtime.
– Highest all-time fourth quarter quarterback rating: Romo 101.9, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers 100.2, former 49ers and Buccaneers quarterback Steve Young 97.9, New England's Tom Brady 92.4, former Rams, Giants and Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner 91.9.
– Most touchdown passes of 50-or-more yards since 2006: Romo 29, Brady 21, Rodgers 20, Eli Manning 20, Drew Brees 17.
– Romo has 93 starts under his belt. Here's how he compares to other Cowboys quarterbacks through their first 93 starts: Romo 174 TDs, 88 INTs; Roger Staubach 116 TDs, 87 INTs; Danny White 147 TDs, 120 INTs; Troy Aikman 92 TDs, 82 INTs.
– Cowboys quarterback win-loss records through their first 93 starts: Staubach 69-24, White 64-29, Aikman 57-36, Romo 55-38.
– Other notable current NFL quarterback records through their first 93 starts: Brady 69-24, Ben Roethlisberger 65-28, Philip Rivers 61-32, Romo 55-38, Eli Manning 54-39.

Click here to see photos from the Stringdusters' performance at Brooklyn Bowl on October 16!
JamBase: The third annual Festy just wrapped up. How was it?
Chris Pandolfi: Oh, man it was wonderful. It has become a thing that a lot of people look forward to, and we put a lot of time and energy into organizing. It really is a high point
of the year for us, in terms of broadcasting to the world what we are all about musically as well as our lifestyle. From sustainability to aesthetic choices, it is a way to tell the world who we are. It has grown up into this event that we are really proud of and we already gearing up for year four.
You kind of just touched on something that I find interesting. You guys have had a big year so far, with your performance on Concrete Country, your busy tour schedule, and with The Festy obviously. When you were in Berklee [College of Music] together and you were talking about starting a bluegrass band, did you ever think that your style - or the bluegrass style in general, really - would become as popular as it has within the mainstream crowd today?
I think a lot of that came later. When you are starting a band, you are just trying to stay
alive - you are literally just trying to live to the next day. The attitude of, 'Where am I going to get
my next meal?' just kind of consumes you for the first few years. Once it becomes a real entity,
the picture of where you fit into the music community starts to take shape. Early on, we all had
really high aspirations. But if you look at the history of the Stringdusters, much has
changed... and [the string-music genre is] reaching way beyond what even we are doing. I think it's an amazingly fertile time... Our concept of who we are and where we want to be has really taken shape.
Music and art always evolve, and I think we are a part of this movement to bring bluegrass into the mainstream. It's something that I really believe in. It's definitely not a trend. It has been built much more on authenticity and a real lasting musical tradition that goes back way before we started playing, and it will be going long after we are gone. To be a part of it right now is really exciting.
Our manager has had a long standing relationship with Billy. We did what a lot of bands
do for the first few years: We sort of picked from the engineers and producers that were from
within our world (for) our first few records. It wasn't just because we wanted to do something different - we did want to do that, but we wanted to set ourselves on a new course and build a relationship with a producer so that recording didn't become something we just do every two or three years. It's a very odd element of the touring life - you go out on the road 200 days a year, and once every couple of years you go into the studio. Those [recordings] don't just happen automatically. We wanted to build a flow into our recording schedule, and part of being able to do that was building this relationship with Billy. He is really on the team. He was at the Festy all weekend and he set up a studio at the house that is on the premises.
Within our band, we each bring so much to the table in terms of creativity, aesthetic ideas, and an eclectic range of influences. Billy brings this amazing sonic element that isn't often heard in the acoustic realm. The music still retains its authenticity, but it has a new sonic light that makes it more palatable to more people. The recordings have this bigger bolder sound to me, and it's something that is unique and new. Teaming up with Billy was one more step in the quest to take our music and do big things with it. He is an awesome partner...love that guy.
You mentioned all of the different things that each individual member brings to band. How has the writing process changed since the departure of Jesse Cobb [mandolin]?
Was this something you are doing going forward or is that just how you handled Silver Sky?
We started [truly collaborating] with this record. Before that, we were just like every other band: Each member had his own songs, and it was becoming formulaic. For instance, I would have my one instrumental, and Jeremy and Andy and Travis would each have their couple of songs, and then there would be a cover. That worked for us for awhile. It was a safe way to do it. Now we are trying to transcend that. Now that we are starting to reach a lot of people, it's time to make the best and longest-lasting compositions that we can. And I think that this is one of the final frontiers of the band. We are really great at putting on a live show, but now we are more focused on songwriting.
So with that on mind, are you planning to record more on a regular basis?
Yeah, we are planning to do it again soon. Another discussion we are having is, 'What is an
album now? What is the most effective way to release it?' And these questions have to be
asked in [terms] of the Stringdusters because it is a little different for everyone. We are
trying to figure out not only how to make great music, but what to do with it once it's made.
The concept of creating albums is definitely not what it used to be. You are seeing a lot more singles and splits - the way in which people seem to be consuming music has fundamentally changed. We are seeing a shift to the streaming services like Rdio and Spotify, for example. It seems to be the way consumers are headed in terms of how they listen and discover new music. It's an interesting shift because it seems artists are either strongly opposed or strongly in favor. Where do you fall?
If you have a lot of money behind you... the record behemoth still exists, say, for the Taylor Swifts of the world. But there is so much great music out there and [streaming sites] bode really well for a band like ours. We have a sound and we all worked on learning our instruments for 15
years before we even set out to play. [These services allow us to succeed without being] mired down in the [record industry] game. It's just a matter of getting your music out there - and what better way to do it than [streaming online]? I have discovered more great music in the last year that I probably had in the last 10. That has everything to do with the [companies] that you are talking about.
It's funny because Billy [Hume] was just calling me, and when I get off the phone with you, he is going to send me the stems of a few songs from our latest album [for me to] remix. I am into electronic music - Mike Snow and Radiohead and Passion Pit and a lot bands that
are new and cutting-edge [so I'm bringing some of that to the table]. We are sort of taking a page out of Purity Ring's book [i.e.], release these tracks again in a different package. That [concept] is influenced by all of this new music I have discovered. Sure - we are still trying to figure out how to navigate this new world of recording and selling music, but I certainly think these trends are a very positive thing. The disappearance of the old industry? I welcome it...absolutely.

Wanderers gain revenge for earlier defeat
Published at 11:27, Wednesday, 18 April 2012
Warwick Wanderers evened things out by beating Stanwix 2-0 on their home territory at Downagate to gain revenge for the 2-1 defeat at Stanwix earlier in the season.
Warwick took the lead five minutes into the game and grabbed a second goal, from a well worked corner, on the stroke of half time.
The Stanwix players pulled out all the stops in the second half but they were unable to breach a well organised Warwick defence and there was also some excellent defending from the visiting players who at times put their bodies on the line to prevent their opponents adding to their two goal first half lead.
The game began at a brisk pace with Johnny Westgarth, Aaron Roberts and Jack Crawford combining for Stanwix only to be thwarted by well timed tackles from Lewis Dixon and Harvey German.
Warwick replied with a swift move involving Robbie Allison and Adam Fisher which led to a shot from Szymon Chrachol which Stanwix defender Paul Harrison took on his chest to prevent a certain goal with his goalkeeper, Harry Robinson, well beaten.
Warwick gained a corner on their right and Robinson had to move swiftly to turn Fisher's corner kick behind for a second corner. Allison then shot narrowly wide after intercepting a Stanwix pass before exchanging passes with Charlie Barnes.
A Stanwix move involving, Harry Hetherington, Crawford and Ben Clark, led to a corner after a scramble in the Warwick goalmouth but the danger was cleared by Barnes.
Warwick took the lead after five minutes following a brilliant run by Barnes who beat three opponents before squaring the ball to Chrachol who drove the ball into the net from close range with his right foot.
Fisher then provided Chrachol with a further shooting chance but Robinson made a good save. Warwick continued to attack with Allison passing to Chrachol but the striker was robbed by Harrison who cleared up field for Crawford to chase but German read the situation and calmly cut out the danger.
Roberts and Crawford linked up for the visitors but when the ball arrived at the feet of Westgarth his hurried shot swung wide of goal for a Warwick goal kick from which enabled Warwick goalkeeper, Martyn Petry, to start an attack Petrys' long clearance led to Robinson cutting out a Fisher cross at the expense of a Warwick corner.
The Stanwix players had to be on the alert to deal with the quick thrusts of the Warwick attackers and Roberts did well to dispossess Dixon following an astute pass from Chrachol. Barnes then ran half the length of the field before a tackle from Lewis Glaister diverted the ball for a corner which was cleared by Harrison.
Warwick continued to attack with German supplying Allison who gained a throw-in when Abbie Eagling's tackle diverted the ball into touch.
Stanwix took up the attack when Harrison combined with Westgarth who then played in Crawford but Barnes was quickly in to play the ball into touch. Clark then provided a chance for Glaister but Dixon was quick to intercept before linking up with Dan Smith whose shot was saved by Robinson.
With half time fast approaching Warwick gained a corner on their right when a swift move, involving Barnes and Allison, resulted in the ball going behind following a tackle from Clark. By playing the ball back to Dixon, instead of lofting it into the goalmouth, Allison took the Stanwix players completely by surprise and the Warwick lead was doubled when Dixon unleashed an unstoppable long range shot from out on the touchline. Robinson did well to get a hand to the ball but he had little chance of saving and he could only help the ball into the roof of the net.
The goal was a timely one as it came right on the stroke of half time.
Warwick Wanderers kicked off the second half and a long ball from Barnes immediately put them on the attack. Chrachol had a great chance to double his goals tally but stout defending from Eagling, Harrison and Percival- together with brave goalkeeping from Robinson- somehow prevented the ball from crossing the goal line.
Stanwix were awarded a free-kick and Glaister played the ball into a crowded goal area where it was cleared by German only as far as Harrison whose first time volley was off target. Harrison was again in action when he cleared a dangerous centre from Chrachol who latched onto the ball following a Smith header from a German throw.
Stanwix picked up their game and a long clearance from Robinson was helped on by Adam Tiffin towards the Warwick goal but Dixon cleared the danger. Stanwix gained a corner on their right and Tiffin's flag kick was met by Glaister who headed over the bar.
Tiffen played the ball through the Warwick defence for Crawford to chase but Petry read the situation and raced out of his goal to kick clear. Clark and Roberts worked the ball forward from a throw-in but the eventual cross was cleared by German.
The game was fast and furious with first Allison having a shot blocked by Eagling and then Dixon sprinting forward only to be dispossessed by Glaister.
Both defences were coping well and both sets of players were now finding it hard to make a break through. Barnes went on a run for Warwick but he was unable to beat Roberts who timed his tackle to perfection.
Stanwix cleverly worked a short corner on their left involving Tiffen and Westgarth who cut in before dispatching his shot into the side netting. A corner on the right followed resulting in Hetherington heading over from a good delivery by Harrison.
Stanwix continued to push with Crawford beating his man before putting his centre behind the goal. Brooklyn Watson beat Crawford to a pass from Roberts as the home defence held firm against repeated Stanwix attacks.
Warwick Wanderers had the final say with Smith having a shot at goal but Robinson made a fine save and the game ended two-nil in favour of the home team.
WARWICK WANDERERS: Martyn Petry, Lewis Dixon, Harvey German, Charlie Barnes, Robbie Allison, Brooklyn Watson, Adam Fisher, Chrachol and Smith.
STANWIX: Harry Robinson, Abbie Eagling, Lewis Glaister, Paul Harrison, Harry Hetherington, Aaron Roberts, Ben Clark, Jack Crawford, Johnny Westgarth and Adam Tiffin.
REFEREE: Nick Stobbs.
MAN OF THE MATCH: Lewis Dixon, right back, Warwick Wanderers: Lewis covered lots of ground and was highly proficient both as an attacker and a defender. His positional sense was superb and his speed of thought enabled him to make numerous interceptions thus gaining possession of the ball. Lewis scored a wonder goal just before half time.

text: Girl Found 'Covered in Blood' in Van der Sloot's Room Killing likely happened exactly 5 years after Holloway disappeared By Kate Seamons, Newser Staff Posted Jun 3, 2010 12:15 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (33) (Newser) – It's deja vu all over again for Joran Van der Sloot—except this time there's a very bloody body. Van der Sloot was named the top suspect yesterday in the murder of Stephany Flores Ramirez, who was found "covered in blood" in a Lima, Peru, hotel room booked under his name. Barbie Latza Nadeau outlines salacious new details in the case for the Daily Beast: Ramirez's fully clothed body, found wrapped in a sheet and lying facedown in her own blood, had multiple lesions, say police. The coroner's report is pending, but the probable cause of death is strangulation or asphyxiation, and the time of death is 8:30am Sunday morning—precisely 5 years to the day after Natalee Holloway disappeared. Ramirez, who came from a wealthy Peruvian family (father Ricardo Flores, a former racecar driver, lost a bid to be the country's president), was captured on video leaving a Lima casino with Van der Sloot early Sunday. The two were seen in the hotel by an employee soon after. Van der Sloot had been in the city for two weeks to participate in a poker tournament; border records show he entered Chile on Monday.

Editor's Note: In advance of Friday's edition hitting newstands, we are releasing this web version to keep our readers informed of weather conditions.
Wilson County Emergency Management Agency Capt. Steve Spencer advises Wilson County residents be on the lookout for icy conditions Friday morning.
In the last few weeks he's been on the alert for everything from thunderstorms and tornadoes to snow, ice and frigid temperatures, so for him, it's once more with feeling.
Following his briefing with the National Weather Service on Thursday, Spencer said Mother Nature is once again stalking the county.
"Basically we will be placed under a winter weather advisory beginning at midnight [Thursday] until noon on Friday," he said. "A cold front will move in from the southwest bringing with it moisture. When this moisture interacts with the already cold air we can expect a brief period of freezing rain as this moisture freezes on contact. The timing of this event will be from 3 until 9 a.m. when warmer temperatures will prevail and the frozen precipitation turns to all rain."
The ice accumulation won't be very thick, but when it comes to ice a little goes a long way.
"The greatest impact will be the morning commute, when bridges and overpasses will be cold enough to produce black ice and upper surfaces receive a coat of thin ice," he said. "The amount of accumulation for our area is expected to be around .10 to .20 of an inch, but that is all it takes to create hazardous road conditions. It's not expected to damage trees or power lines."
Spencer summed up the situation.
"We will receive a quick burst of winter weather in the early morning hours to interfere with the morning commute and by noon we will never know anything happened," he said. "It will come in in a hurry and leave in a hurry."
He said he is in contact with the city and county school systems about the forecast and since this weather will definitely impact the morning commute he thinks schools schedules will be affected.
According to Wilson County Director of Schools Mike Davis, the decision to delay or cancel school Friday would be made Friday morning. Lebanon schools, along with Friendship Christian Academy, are expected to follow the same procedure.
In a notice that should surprise no one, Spencer mentioned everyone should expect an immediate and drastic change to follow on the heels of this latest cold weather event.
"Next week the temperatures are expected to warm with the six day outlook being a chance of severe thunderstorms late next week," he said. "That's why we say 'If you don't like the weather in Tennessee, wait and it will change.'"

IDC: Apple 5th largest phone maker as ZTE, Samsung rise
updated 08:30 am EDT, Fri October 28, 2011
IDC Q3 2011 phone share sees Apple in top ranks
Apple gained enough market share to stay one of the top cellphone makers in the world, IDC said Friday. While not as strong as the spring, the iPhone still gained share from year to year and, at 17.07 million, was in fifth place among all cellphones at 4.3 percent. It was helped partly by Nokia's continued fall, which while still keeping it on top lowered it to 27.1 percent, at 106.6 million phones.
The fastest risers were those thriving on Android sales in southeast Asia. Samsung's smartphone push helped it gain almost two points to hit 22.3 percent, or 87.8 million phones, and get within striking distance of Nokia. ZTE's emphasis on China and low-cost phones like the Skate saw it grow the fastest, overtaking Apple to reach 4.9 percent.
Among the top five, the steepest drop was from LG, whose ongoing trouble took it down from 8.1 percent a year ago to 5.4 percent, enough that Apple and ZTE could both pass by in the fall.
Share is expected to be very different this season. The wait for the iPhone 4S was one of the largest factors in the summer and could see Apple pull ahead. RIM, not counted in the top five, was waiting most of the summer for its BlackBerry 7 devices, such as the Bold 9900. Android has comparatively few halo devices for the fall, although the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Droid RAZR, and variants on the HTC Raider like Verizon's upcoming Rezound are all likely to keep sales up.
