The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
The Amazing Spider-Man SynopsisOne of the worlds most popular characters is back on the big screen as a new chapter in the Spider-Man legacy is revealed in The Amazing Spider-Man. Focusing on an untold story that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story, the new film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, with Martin Sheen and Sally Field. The film is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay written by James Vanderbilt, based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents disappearance leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his fathers former partner.

Why Sally Field Hated Her Part In The Amazing Spider-Man Movies
Apparently no one told Sally Field that shed have a reduced and supportive role in the Amazing Spider-Man movies, however, because when she opened up to talk show guru Howard Stern, she kind of threw her character and the failed franchise under the bus.

AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson has silenced rumors of an impending split by insisting the band still plans to hit the studio in May to record new material.
The "Back In Black" hitmakers were thrust into the spotlight this week when reports emerged suggesting they were planning to announce their retirement due to the failing health of one of the bandmembers.
Johnson has now spoken out to assure fans the group still plans to honor a commitment to begin recording sessions in Canada in May, however, he does concede that one of the musicians is suffering from a "debilitating illness."
He tells Telegraph, "We are definitely getting together in May in Vancouver. We're going to pick up some guitars, have a plonk, and see if anybody has got any tunes or ideas. If anything happens, we'll record it."
He adds of the future of the band, "I wouldn't like to say anything either way about the future. I'm not ruling anything out. One of the boys has a debilitating illness, but I don't want to say too much about it. He is very proud and private, a wonderful chap. We've been pals for 35 years and I look up to him very much."
Johnson has previously insisted the group planned an ambitious tour to mark their 40th anniversary in the music industry, but he admits he has no idea whether it will still go ahead: "That would be a wonderful way to say bye bye. We would love to do it. But it's all up in the air at the moment."
AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young has ended days of speculation by confirming he is taking a break from the band due to ill health.
The group has confirmed Young will stand down to focus on his health battle.
A statement from AC/DC reads, "After 40 years of life dedicated to AC/DC, guitarist and founding member Malcolm Young is taking a break from the band due to ill health. Malcolm would like to thank the group's diehard legions of fans worldwide for their never-ending love and support.
"In light of this news, AC/DC asks that Malcolm and his family's privacy be respected during this time. The band will continue to make music."
No details about Young's illness have been confirmed.

It's a small plot of land off Highway 43 in Craven County complete with a dirt track, dirt jumps, and an announcers booth that some eastern North Carolina drivers pass on a regular basis, but how many people actually know what it is.
Clayton Bauman stopped to check out the high octane hobby for people who'd aspirations of being race car drivers have become grounded for one reason or another. The dirt track in Craven County is a weekly escape that takes all those high speed elements and shrinks them down to a much more manageable handheld size.
It's called southern R/C and it's looking for new recruits to make a mark on the racing circuit. Off Highway 43 just before Weyerhauser road it's Tommy Dawson's proverbial field of dreams to feed his need for speed.
"I've been here about 10 years, and I used to go different places and race. I got tired of driving out, so I built me a place of my own," said Dawson.
With tight turns, high velocity jumps, and plenty of dirt to kick up- it's a well maintained track from the bottom up with a devout following.
Donald Stokes shows just how far, and expensive the hobby can go with his own custom made trailer dedicated to the hobby. He says a buddy introduced him to R/C.
"You could see yourself doing this forever?" asked Bauman.
"Probably so. It's, you know, it's fun. Once you get it in your blood, you just keep on and on," said Stokes.
Some racers have been known to spend thousands of dollars on their cars. Dawson says don't be intimidated. There are entry level cars that are reasonably priced.
"You can get a 2-3 hundred dollar car and get out here and have you a good time and it'll run you for years," said Dawson.
Kelly Howell used to be a race car driver, but had to bow out because it got too expensive. Now she mixes it up here on the mini circuit with the boys. She says being the only female driver makes her that much more competitive and encourages other ladies to pick up a remote.
"You do have that competition where the guys kind of look at you like- OK, it's the only girl out here. What's she going to do and you have to kind of show them up and say: hey girls can do this just as well," said Howell.
Young, old, guy or gal-- Dawson and his crew encourages everyone to come out with an itchy trigger finger and give the southern R/C experience a try.
Those interested can head out to the track every Sunday, and there's no charge to use the track. Dawson and the racers are usually out to the track by noon.

Consultant, IBM Center for Applied Insights
The IBM CAI blog has moved - please bookmark and follow the new blog at http://www.ibmcai.com
Welcome to another State of Smart industry deep dive. Today we'll be taking a look at the Chemical and Petroleum industry. I've been looking forward to writing this post for a while now. We came across some data points when we looked at unstructured data that initially were surprising but actually make quite a bit of sense when you think about it.
Let's take a look at the data, shall we? As you can see, 39% of C&P companies surveyed fell into the "Outperformers" category, having both high Listen and Anticipate capabilities. Very few companies reported to have high Anticipate and low Listen capabilities (which makes sense if you think about it).
Overall, C&P companies are very good at Listening, with 59% having a high Listen capability. Simultaneously only 42% have a high Anticipate capability.
So as you might expect, C&P outperformers are really good at capturing data. When we dig a little deeper into the data, we find that 70% of Outperformers capture data at every customer interaction. That a little less than 1.7x more than the Others.
When it came to unstructured data however we found something really interesting. Initially, I wasn't expecting C&P companies to spend a lot of time and effort capturing unstructured data. However, we found that 55% of the Outperformers in fact did so. They were 2.1x more likely to capture unstructured data than the Others.
This was surprising in a couple of ways. First, we didn't expect so many C&P outperformers to capture unstructured data (they were 4th out of 9 industry groups). Second, we didn't expect to see such a large gap between the Outperformers and Others (this was the largest gap of any industry).
So what exactly are C&P companies doing with unstructured data? Well to begin with they're looking beyond social media to things like weather/climate data, economic forecasts, and international political data. It makes sense. Many of these companies operate in volatile regions of the world, or rely on raw materials that come from those volatile regions.
In that context, being able for example to actively monitor or even predict civil unrest, or predict the path of a hurricane is vital to maintaining operations. So while at first glance, you might think that C&P companies don't have much use for unstructured data, in fact successfully leveraging unstructured data can be quite critical to their business.
Our research also showed that 78% C&P Outperformers then empowered employees to take action based on analytics. They were 2.1x more likely to empower their employees than the Others (the largest gap of any industry). Again this makes a lot of sense. What good is developing insight if you don't allow your employees to act on it?
We saw that 75% C&P Outperformers shared their insights with suppliers and business partners compared to 41% of the others. C&P companies often have complicated supply chains and sharing insights can help mitigate a number of risks.
Looking at where C&P Outperformers realize value from analytics, we found that 47% used analytics for risk management (1.7x more than the others – again this was the largest gap among the industries). Given the capital intensive nature of many C&P companies' operations, this makes quite a bit of sense. It also seems logical from a health and safety perspective when you consider the impact (both environmental and political) and high level of visibility that incidents within this industry can have.
We're not the first group to identify this linkage with risk management. In 2008, the IBM Institute for Business Value published a study linking risk management at C&P companies to improved financial performance. It's good to see that the linkage is still valid.

Cyclones' Duel With Kansas Ends In Draw; 0-0
AMES, Iowa- The Iowa State soccer team registered it's first tie since the 2011 season as the Cyclones' third conference game of the season ended in a 0-0 draw against Kansas.
Turning point of the game
Early in the first period Kansas forward Liana Salazar (5-5-2) fired a shot that looked to be headed into the back of the net, but Iowa State (6-6-1) senior goalkeeper Maddie Jobe made a last-second leaping save sending the shot over the cross bar. Seconds later Jobe's heroics continue as she laid out for a save after a bullet from Kansas' Caroline Kastor.

Last week, I was thrilled to be a part of Elaine Martin aka The Vintage Gardener's Evergreen Festival. I helped Elaine as she demonstrated how easy it is to put together gorgeous holiday urns and I also presented a little session on forcing amaryllis and paperwhite bulbs for the holidays.
My assistant editor, Jen Murray, came along to videotape my seminar (which we'll be posting soon!) and we took lots of snaps of Elaine's beautiful holiday fair, some of which I've displayed below.

The mother of all holidays, Mother's Day is a time for all of us to appreciate the most
important person in our lives. Mother's Day comes every second Sunday of May, as
the flowers begin to bloom again and the animals of the forest come out of hibernation.
During this season, we take time to remember our mothers, who incidentally tend to like
flowers and cuddly animals. And although we may not always appreciate their phone
calls or their opinions on who we date, Mother's Day is the perfect time to thank our
moms for all the good things they've done for us, and remind them that we really did turn
out better after eating our veggies.
How did Mother's Day come to be? As it turns our, Mother's Day has its own mother:
Anna Jarvis, who founded the campaign for a national day honoring mothers in 1908.
Jarvis propelled the idea forward with her unwavering determination, writing letters
to state governments and enlisting allies such as Philadelphia businessman John
Wanamaker. In 1914, Mother's Day was officially designated as a national holiday by
President Woodrow Wilson, perhaps hoping to appease his own mother in case she
disapproved of his foreign policy. Since then, Mother's Day has become a tradition
which is as American as, well, mom and apple pie. Mother's Day is also the busiest day
of the year for long distance phone calls, perhaps proving that mothers are still easier to
talk to than fathers.

LONDON -- Was there any other way it could end?
Michael Phelps won gold Saturday night with his 4 x 100-meter medley relay teammates in the last race of the Olympic swim meet - and of his storied career.
The victory upped his medal count to an unsurpassed, and perhaps unsurpassable, 22 - 18 gold, two silver, two bronze.
The U.S. won with a time of 3:29.35. Japan was second and Australia third.

Never buying a UCE then, it seems. And it looked like the idea of a reasonably reliable but easy-to-order-parts-for vintage bike is gone.I will stil have plenty of fun with my AVL, but that's it if I have to go through a third party for OEM parts.
Funny - I'll bet you don't get parts for your car, dishwasher or lawn mower right from the distributor. I'll bet you use a dealer for THAT stuff - or aftermarket. Calling a distributor who is 2000 miles away doesn't really make sense - especially when you consider that the distributor probably doesn't have the intimate knowledge of the bikes like a dealer would. Your dealer should be your best ally!
I called NField and they didn't know how many teeth came stock on an AVL counter-shaft sprocket. So....
This would be a good time for a dealer to step up to the plate and start a mail/internet order parts business. Someone that knows the difference between an Enfield and a pair of socks.
The thing that was nice about the way it was set up, though. By coincidence, it was like new internet business models, with parts straight from the manufacturer. Now, you're restricting us back to the "old ways" by adding another intermediary who will take yet another chunk out of the profits (and therefore increase the price even more). "No, No! You must go through THIS person who will charge you MORE - you can no longer get things from me, I'm breaking it off. He still gets your old prices, though."
The manufacturer sets MSRP. I sell for MSRP. On a regular order there is no shipping charge to my customers. I only charge for shipping if the customer has to have it NOW, and is willing to pay for the special shipping. With the volume CMW is now doing extra people would have to be hired. At some point the prices would have to go up to cover this. There is not as much profit in parts as people think. Plus, as I stated before, more dealers would be interested in taking on the line if they did not have to compete with the distributor. The current business model is not conductive to long term dealer satisfaction. Fewer dealers = fewer bike sales= smaller, less viable distributor. The new business model should strengthen the brand and will help keep pricing at more reasonable levels. It is a sound business decision that will benefit everyone in the long term.

Kannapolis, NC-- NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Tony Stewart is out for the remainder of the 2013 season. The news comes two weeks after Stewart broke his leg in a sprint car crash August 5 at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa.
According to a news release from his shop, Stewart is expected to return in time for pre-season testing in January 2014. Stewart drives the No. 14 Bass Pro Shops/Mobil 1 Chevrolet SS for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR).
Tony Stewart Breaks Leg in Crash
Stewart is a three-time Sprint Cup Champion.
Filling Stewart's seat for the rest of the season: SHR says in the interim, Mark Martin will drive the No. 14 Bass Pro Shops/Mobil 1 Chevrolet Aug. 23-24 at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway and in 11 other races. Austin Dillon, the 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion who filled in for Stewart this past weekend at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn and finished 14th in his 10th career Sprint Cup start, will drive the No. 14 Bass Pro Shops/Mobil 1 Chevrolet Oct. 18-20 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.
"After consulting with Tony's doctors and speaking with Tony, we agreed it was best for him to focus on his recovery," said Greg Zipadelli, competition director, SHR. "For the No. 14 team, our focus is on positioning them for a run at the owner championship. Mark Martin and Austin Dillon give us the best opportunity to do that, and we certainly appreciate Michael Waltrip Racing and Richard Childress Racing for making Mark and Austin available to us."
Stewart released this statement about being out the remainder of the season: "Obviously, I'm disappointed to be out of the Bass Pro Shops/Mobil 1 Chevy for so long, but the team is in very good hands with Mark Martin and Austin Dillon," Stewart said. "Mark is someone I've looked up to my entire career and I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. Austin is a great young talent, and he showed that Sunday at Michigan. Greg Zipadelli, Steve Addington (crew chief) and everybody at SHR supports them 100 percent. This isn't a situation anyone wanted, but we're going to make the best of it. In the meantime, my focus is on getting healthy and getting back into my Bass Pro Shops/Mobil 1 Chevy."
The No. 14 team is 13th in points, 10 out of the top-10 and 160 behind the series-leading No. 48 team of Hendrick Motorsports. The No. 14 team is first in line to grab one of the two wild-card positions for the 12-team Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, which begins Sept. 15 at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill. Only three races remain before the cutoff for the 10-race Chase. Following the Sept. 7 race at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway, the owner standings will be reset, with each team getting 2,000 points.

Kansas state science standards reviewed
The external review of the latest draft of the Kansas science standards is complete, and there's no comfort in it for the antievolutionist majority on the state board of education. The external reviewer, Mid-Continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL), restricted its comments to the educational usefulness of the standards and did not evaluate their scientific accuracy. Even so, the antievolution material inserted by the board at the behest of local "intelligent design" enthusiasts came under fire.
Antievolutionism bad for business in Kansas
In the Kansas City Star (October 9, 2005), Jason Gertzen and Diane Stafford report that Kansas's reputation as a state officially hostile to evolution education is having discernible effects on recruitment efforts at universities and in the burgeoning biotechnology industry.

By Jonathan Allen and Daniel Trotta
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Lou Reed, the pioneering musician who fronted influential rock band The Velvet Underground and won mainstream acclaim with solo songs "Walk on the Wild Side" and "Perfect Day", died on Sunday aged 71.
Reed, whose band fused music and art in collaboration with its early benefactor, pop artist Andy Warhol, died at the Long Island home he shared with his wife, Laurie Anderson, following complications from a liver transplant earlier this year, his literary agent Andrew Wylie said.
"I think Lou was as great an artist as it was possible to be," Wylie said. "It's a great loss."
Formed by Reed and classically trained Welsh-born musician John Cale in the mid-1960s as an experiment in avant-garde rock, The Velvet Underground gained Warhol's notice soon after hitting the New York club scene.
While the band never achieved great commercial success, it revolutionized rock in the 1960s and '70s with a mixture of thrashing guitar licks and smooth melodies sung by Reed or the German model Nico.
The Velvet Underground has long been recognized as a major musical inspiration for punk art and rock, as reflected in a quote often attributed to musician Brian Eno: "The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band."
Neil Portnow, president the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, which bestows the Grammys, credited Reed with "introducing avant-garde rock to the mainstream."
"His uniquely stripped-down style of guitar playing and poetic lyrics have had a massive influence across many rock genres, including punk and alternatives," Portnow said.
Fellow avant-garde rocker David Bowie, who helped produce Reed's second solo album and is often cited as one of his greatest musical heirs, posted a picture of the two recording stars together on his Facebook page, saying of his old friend: "He was a master."
Cale, who played bass, organ and viola in the Velvets and had an often-fractious relationship with Reed, said on his Facebook page: "The world has lost a fine songwriter and poet … I've lost my 'school-yard buddy,'" he said.
Reed and Cale put aside their differences to release a tribute album to Warhol in 1990 called "Songs for Drella." That album led to a handful of reunion performances by members of The Velvet Underground's original line-up – rounded out by guitarist Sterling Morrison and drummer Maureen Tucker – in the early 1990s.
Musician Iggy Pop's official Twitter account called news of Reed's death "devastating," while musician Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth tweeted: "So sorry to hear of Lou Reed's passing this is a huge shock!"
An admitted hard drinker and drug user for many years, Reed underwent a liver transplant earlier this year in Cleveland, his wife revealed, after he had canceled a series of California concert dates in April.
"I am a triumph of modern medicine," Reed posted on his website on June 1, 2013, without directly acknowledging the transplant. "I look forward to being on stage performing, and writing more songs to connect with your hearts and spirits and the universe well into the future."
Reed has been widely credited with expanding the lexicon of rock 'n' roll with provocative lyrics that chronicled androgyny, illicit sex, and drug abuse, notably in the song "Heroin," in which he declares, "It's my wife, and it's my life."
"Walk on the Wild Side," a catchy tune from his second solo album, "Transformer," co-produced by Bowie, became Reed's only top-20 hit single, though it contained lyrical references to transexuality, drugs and male prostitution.
"Sister Ray" – a 17-minute blast of guitar distortions – likewise combined stories of sailors, oral sex, murder, intravenous drug use and the mysterious title character.
"I never in a million years thought people would be outraged by what I was doing," Reed said in a 1989 interview with Rolling Stone magazine. "You could go to your neighborhood bookstore and get any of that."
One of his signature songs, first performed by The Velvet Underground and later a staple of his solo act, was simply titled "Rock and Roll," a semi-autobiographical story of how music saved the life of a young fan listening on the radio.
His stage persona, often appearing in a dog collar and eye makeup, opened the door for Bowie and other artists to take sexually ambivalent styles into the mainstream.
It was personified in the landmark live album "Rock N Roll Animal," released in 1974. That record closely followed the studio-record rock opera album "Berlin," which he brought to life again with a 2006 concert that was made into a 2007 film directed by Julian Schnabel.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 as a member of The Velvet Underground, Reed grew into something of an elder statesman of rock, a towering figure in a club with fellow legends such as Bob Dylan and Neil Young.
Reed always placed great importance on song-writing. One of his first jobs out of college was as a staff writer for Pickwick Records. He dedicated the 1966 song "European Son" to the late poet, Delmore Schwartz, under whom he studied at Syracuse University.
Reed was married three times, the latest to recording and performance artist Laurie Anderson in 2008, and in recent years took an interest in photography, staging exhibitions of his work.
Rockers Steven Tyler and Duran Duran co-founder Nick Rhodes are among the stars who say they were influenced by Reed.
Messages of condolence have continued to flood in from celebrities far and wide, and now Aerosmith singer Tyler has taken to his Twitter.com blog in memory of his late pal, writing, "RIP to a great friend a fellow musician. From maxes to the masses you made the world sing. I love you Lou!"
Veteran British pop star Rhodes has shared his favorite memory of Reed with fans via Duran Duran's website, revealing he first bonded with the late star after inviting him to play with the Rio hitmakers at a charity gig back in their 1980s heyday.
He writes, "It was quite surreal for everyone in the band, as less than a decade earlier, we had been fans listening to his music in our teenage bedrooms. Lou turned up at the Beacon Theatre with his guitar and amplifier to soundcheck, we rehearsed Walk on the Wild Side and Sweet Jane together, he was thrilled with the arrangements we had done, so we parted company for a few hours and next met, later that evening onstage.
"When Simon (Le Bon, singer) introduced our hero, Lou, my heart sank as it sounded as though the entire audience began to boo. Lou was unfazed and smiling, so we launched into the songs. It wasn't until afterwards when the sound of the crowd intensified, that I realised they were all affectionately shouting Lou, not boo… Long live Lou Reed!"
Meanwhile, The Recording Academy boss Neil Portnow has issued a statement on Reed's passing, hailing the Grammy winner as "an exceptionally gifted singer, songwriter, and musician", adding, "We have lost a true visionary and creative leader, and his groundbreaking work will forever hold its rightful place in music history."
Actors Alec Baldwin and Susan Sarandon, director Wes Craven and electro-pop pioneer Gary Numan have also tweeted tributes, while Cyndi Lauper posts, "I still can't believe Lou Reed passed away. I'm sorry for his family's loss. greatful (sic) for his music and the influence he had on my music", and Nikki Sixx shares, "RIP Lou Reed.Thank you for your beautiful/dark lyrics/music and stance on life.You inspired me from my teenage years right up till (sic) today."

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - Roaches at a popular D.C. pizza spot and two other places caught operating without hot water were to blame for three of four area health department closures July 16th through July 20th.
Suspension listings
Deli at Xtra, no hot water, 15009 Marlboro Pike Upper Marlboro, Md.
Z Pizza, presence of vermin (roaches), 806 H St. NW, Washington, D.C.
China DC Noodle. no valid license, 1232 5th St. NE, Washington, D.C.
Jin Lounge, no hot water, 2017 14th St. NW, Washington, D.C.
Customers shocked
Customers seated at the window at Z Pizza, 806 H St. NW, beckoned our camera crew close enough to record their shocked expression as they read the closure report through the glass.
Inspectors cited eight violations at Z Pizza, including live roaches, no hand washing sign, and workers not wearing hair restraints.
"So we've got pet roaches in the establishment," said customer Efraim Schwartz, "OK, well, they are creative with their pizzas."
"I haven't seen any cockroaches," said customer Raj Chotoo as he walked out with his boxed pizza.
No hot water at gas station deli among closures
At Xtra Convenience Store, 15009 Marlboro Pike in Upper Marlboro, Md., inspectors suspended the deli for food dangers.
Prince George's County Health Department officials reported Xtra operating with any hot water that would allow them to wash their hands or food equipment.
The manager blamed a storm related malfunction.
No hot water at lounge
At Jin Lounge, 2017 14th St. NW, inspectors cited no hot water, gunked up soda guns, dirty non-food surfaces, and an expired license.
Orange health hazard sign posted at noodle shop
The District Health Department cited the restaurant for operating without a valid license.
The manager declined comment.
The posted closure notice means, not only did inspectors shut the restaurant down, it still hasn't passed a re-inspection.
Except for China DC Noodle, the restaurant passed re-inspections and reopened.
Restaurant closures are broadcast Thursdays at 11:00 pm and Friday's at 5:00 pm on 9 News, and posted immediately on wusa9.com.

action at MeKenzie Arena.
De'Mon Brooks accounted for 14 points and eight rebounds for the Wildcats
(4-3, 1- SoCon), followed by Clint Mann and Jake Cohen with 13 and 12 points,
respectively, as the squad won for the third time in the last four outings.
The Mocs (2-5, 0-1) were paced by Gee McGhee who dropped in 15 points,
although he shot just 2-of-7 behind the three-point line and 3-of-15 from the
floor overall. Z. Mason tacked on 14 points and six rebounds for Chattanooga
which suffered a fifth loss in six games.
The Mocs made a total of only eight field goals in the first half, missing all
but one of six tries beyond the arc, while also converting 9-of-16 at the
free-throw line, leading to a 39-26 deficit at the break.
In the second half the hosts again shot poorly from the floor (7-of-26), while
Davidson pulled away with the help of 7-of-12 shooting out on the perimeter,
en route to the 26-point victory.
The Wildcats finished the contest hitting on 14-of-29 from three-point range,
compared to only 3-of-12 for the Mocs.

CONNORVILLE - Harrison Central's Fletcher Watt has been playing longer than some coaches have been coaching, so it is no wonder he is the go-to guy for the Huskies.
Watt drove the lane with four second remaining to score the game-winner as the Huskies pulled out a 38-36 victory against Buckeye Local on Tuesday night.
With the victory, coach Justin Clifford's Huskies moved to 8-2 and successfully rebounded from a heartbreaking loss to St. Clairsville on Friday.
Coach Jay Morris' Panthers dropped them to 4-6.
''For whatever reason, we haven't shot well all season except for a couple games,'' a emotionally drained Clifford said. ''You have to give them credit, they kept changing defenses on us, but you hold a team to 36 points you give yourself a shot.''
Buckeye jumped out to a 12-3 lead in the first period, outscoring the Huskies by 10-1 after being deadlocked at 2-2. Brennen Czuchran led the Panthers in the opening session with seven points and three boards while John Rozenek tossed in four.
In the second, scoring slowed as the Panthers managed to hold on to a 20-9 lead at the intermission. The hosts led by 20-5 before Watt and Nick Pelegreen scored back-to back in the final minute.
Harrison rallied to close the gap to 29-21 in the third. Pelegreen converted three shots from the floor to lead the Huskies.
In the exciting fourth, Rasheen Mitchell converted to at the line then meshed a trey to cut the gap to 29-26 at the 6:10 mark. Buckeye bounced back as Kyle Michalo added one at the stripe and Czuchran cashed a layup. Watt netted two at the line and a 3-pointer around a John Rozenek score at the line as the hosts led 33-31.
With an assist from Caleb Agnew, Michalo drained a 3, but seconds later Austin Kowalski converted underneath to close the gap to 36-33. With 45 second left, Cody Evans took his first and only shot of the game and drained a 3-pointer from the right corner to knot the score. A Buckeye turnover setup Harrison's last attempt. Watt drove the left side of the lane, bouncing off defender to lay in his game-winner.
Watt and Mitchell paced the Huskies with 11 points each while Pelegreen added nine. Mitchell finished with nine rebounds and seven blocked shots while Pelegreen collared eight strays.
Czuchran led all scorers with 13 while Michalo added 10. Rozenek led the Pante with nine rebounds.
''My kids battled hard throughout the entire game,'' a dejected Coach Morris said. ''It all came down to them (Harrison) taking their first lead on their final shot.
''You could just tell by the way the game was going that the game was going to come down to the last possession.''

MIAMI, Florida (AP) - A naked intruder shot after allegedly throttling a Miami family's dog and trying to bite its owner is refusing to cooperate with authorities.
The homeowner heard the dog barking around 5 a.m. Wednesday and went to investigate. Police say the homeowner saw the naked man, later identified as 20-year-old Jeffrey Delice, trying to choke the animal and rushed to free it. That's when police say the naked man bit the homeowner.
The homeowner told police he feared for his life and shot Delice while other family members called 911.
Delice was hit once but continued to put up a fight as officers arrived. He eventually was arrested and taken to a hospital.
Police say Delice faces multiple charges, including animal cruelty.

Tacx Dynamic Carbon Assembly Paste $0.00
With the advent of carbon fiber components has come the awkward change of a time-honored detail of bike building: In the past you always put a nice dollop of grease on pretty much everything when you installed components. How things have changed! Nowadays grease -- especially on a carbon seatpost -- can sometimes be a surefire path to heartbreak. The slick clearcoat on many carbon components makes it so that if they come in contact with grease they're all-but-un-tightenable. The result is that people overtorque bolts in a futile attempt to keep said components from slipping, which ultimately wreaks carnage through snapped bolts, cracked clamps, and sometimes dented or crushed components.
Inserting components dry isn't an ideal solution. Dry components make noise, they corrode, and they too sometimes slip. Tacx invented their Dynamic Assembly Compound to cure these very problems. Think of it as Oil of Olay for your expensive bike gear: Use it for anything threaded or anything carbon on your bike. Its adhesive effect on carbon/carbon interfaces (i.e. carbon seatpost/carbon frameset) will allow you to reduce the amount of tightening torque you'll need by upwards of 30%. Beyond this, not unlike using Ti Prep on a titanium frame, it prevents the seizure of carbon/carbon interfaces. It's an antidote for corrosion, noise, over-torquing, and slippage. Comes in an 80g tube.

A must have for Carbon parts
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
With pretty much every frame going carbon fiber these days, carbon fiber assembly paste is critical to installing carbon fiber components. This is actually the very same product that many manufacturers ship with their bikes for their dealers to use when assembling their bikes. Although the Tacx paste provides the necessary friction to keep things in place, it does so without the abrasive texture that is common with other brands that can wreak havoc on the finish of carbon fiber posts.
Only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because it is assembly paste. You wouldn't give 5 stars to your daily vitamin, but doesn't mean you don't need it, does it?
Works well, no brainer
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Simple and plain - smooth and pebble-free. Have tried another brand, which almost seemed to have gravel/pellets in it - bad idea.
This stuff works, you don't know it's working, but it is. Recommended for any fancy bike out there, and this tube will last you a lifetime - even when building up numerous friends bikes as well :)
how well does this work as an anti- sieze on alum. parts
I'm sure it would work, based on the consistency - definitely worth a try :)
Good Insurance
Got the carbon paste to make the bike assembly safer. Didn't want my bike to be creaking or risk breaking a component. That would suck big time. This tube could probably last about 3 full bike assemblies. Best of all I got this for 15.99 because Realcyclist matched an online price!

"When I see celebs in the gym, I think it's poor personal etiquette to approach them during their workout," advised Dan Flores, RTSm, a master personal trainer based in New York City. "I value my personal gym time and would hate to be interrupted. I would approach them after they were finished and on their way out of the gym."

Central Park is no stranger to the rich and famous; in fact, it's practically their cardio playground. Free to enter, take your morning run to one of the most famous landmarks in the world and you're sure to spot a name or two worth bragging about.

We are currently running MS Exchange Server with Outlook clients across our multi-national network.
We are the software engineering group of the corporation, and moving away from Windows desktop environments to better support our development methods. Unfortunately this is causing us problems with email/calendar compatibility.
I have tested Zimbra Desktop, and found it cannot be configured to our Exchange using MAPI, which is based on corporate policy.
I read somewhere, or was advised, that Zimbra Network comes with appropriate connectors for a MAPI Exchange, but I am not sure if this understanding is correct. I read the ZCS documents, and saw it could allow Outlook to connect to the Zimbra Server, but have not confirmed that the Zimbra Network Client can connect properly to Exchange.
We do not wish to change or replace our Exchange servers, but would be happy to pay for client software that works well.
We have a workaround, using evolution-ews, which is free, but it does not quite provide all the functionality we require, and get from Outlook on Windows.

New York is never more magical than during the holiday season, when the City wraps its department stores, public spaces, restaurants and event venues in tinsel and other glittering excess. It is also one of the busiest times of year in the City, which can make it difficult to immerse yourself in the scenery that graces movie screens and Flickr pages. While all of the following holiday destinations are worth the wait, here you'll also find some plan B options. The alternatives should have shorter lines, occasionally lower prices and, for the New Yorker or visitor who's already seen the must-sees, delightfully different experiences.

Are you an idiot?
I know when you switch into johnny mode you are clueless about the Bible, but I
thought larry mode was a little brighter than that. My bad.
I'll be honest though. This whole exchange seems rather odd to me.
When you were having orgasms of glee over the rich maintaining their tax cuts, I couldn't help making an ironic comment about Jesus' words reversing the rich and the meek.
For you to pretend that I didn't know Jesus's words was very johnny- like.
You and I have usually been on the same page spiritually , at least from an intellectual standpoint.
You know very well that I know the Bible and have studied many other religions and I know you have.
So why the childish barb? What did you gain other than look like a troll.
It appears to me that your inner voices are starting to interrupt each other and johnny butted into larry's train of thought.
Get help, larry.
As for hating you. You and I have both told each other many times- hate the sin, not the sinner.
I still wouldn't piss on you if your heart was on fire but I don't hate you at all.
I still think if you would only see a psychiatrist for mental guidance or a priest for an exorcism, there is hope for you.
May God bless all of you.
By the way, this is usually when you switch into johnny mode to say terrible things about me while assuring me that preacher is praying for me.
Be aware that I have your johnny on total ignore and if you quote him , you will go on ignore until you return to your senses.
May God bless all of you.
I've seen you insist for days that OSAMA was the POTUS ... get pizzed for days because I said you weren't stupid ... swear that Obama was the face on the shroud of Turin ... swear that spirits possessed you in the voting booth ... solicit men for sex in PM's ... and I could go on, but based on your history there really isn't anything nutty from you that oud surprise me.
Everything you have said is either an outright lie or you've chosen to pretend that I was serious when any fool could see I was kidding.
I'm always amazed when your klan insists that liberals have no sense of humor when actually the opposite is true.
You bore me with your little games that you play over and over.
I think starting right now I'm going to put you on ignore til the 10th or 12th.
Give you a little time to reflect on what an incredible bore you have become.
See you then. BORING!
May God bless all of you.
Then why do you shadowpost?
The truth is that you live to cause trouble.
I see we are off to a happy new year.
Best of health and happiness to you all.
Now who's feelings do I stomp on first
There isn't anything wrong with America that liberal ideology, properly applied by government experts, can't make worse.

Video: Obama wants to make preschool available to every child
DECATUR, Ga. (WXIA) -- During the State of the Union address on Tuesday night, President Obama praised Georgia's Pre-K program for it's "Bright from the Start" initiative.
Thursday, he visited Decatur's College Heights Early Childhood Development Center before speaking on early education at the Decatur Recreation Center. He flew in and out of Dobbins Air Reserve Base.
PHOTOS: President Obama Visits Georgia
Commissioner Bobby Cagle with the State Department of Early Care and Learning sees the opportunity, along the president, as a way for Georgia to serve as a model for other states.
"We're just thrilled that the president chose to use us as an example of high quality education, and we're very excited about his visit to Atlanta," Cagle told 11Alive News.
Commissioner Cagle said the long-term impact of a child's early education is crucial.
"We knew that for many children, if they don't get an early start then they're far behind when they get to kindergarten and often times they don't get a chance to catch up," Cagle said. "It's vital that we can use every moment with a child to make sure their brain develops to it's full capacity."

LOL....Blue Streak stock, actually the company is Standard Motor Products and I should take a look at their stock.
Today I purchased a set of Blue Streak VW points for my conversion, part # GB4173XP. Here is some more information about this part:* 99% pure tungsten is used to make our contact sets, providing a longer service life.* A stainless steel spring is used to maintain correct tension on the contacts and eliminate corrosion build up.* A copper shunt is used to conduct the current flow providing less resistance to the circuit.* A self lubricating brass bushing is used to maintain point alignment and 100% surface contact.* A special blend of nylon is used to make the rubbing block which is held to the movable arm with 4 rivets.* All of these features add up to the longest lasting and best performing contact point sets in the marketplace.Here is photo comparing the BS to a set of Bosch. The Bosch points cost more! Why?The VW points come built with a pivot pin so two holes is all it takes to mount it, one for the pivot and one for the slot adjuster. I am going to retain my stock condenser because I have 4 or 5 laying around. I have two extra point plates and see no real problem changing over to this new set. I will post again once I've completed the mod. I'm excited that I will never have to mail order another points set and will be able to walk into any auto parts store and buy the part if it ever fails. This part is made in the USA and is by many user accounts the best made points you can purchase. Cyrusb has stated he's had his in for two years no problems which gives me the utmost confidence this mod will work flawlessly.
It's just softening the blow of the points opening, not tuned to anything.
Really!! You have obviously missed my point. And what does the statement above mean, inquiring minds want to know.
Go with the RE EI. It's simple, no fussing, install it in 10 minutes or less, set the timing, you be done until you wear the distributor out!
If your Boyer is just sitting in a bucket, I'd be happy to take it off of your hands. Scottie

The dramatic curved surfaces of some of the iconic buildings created in the last decade, such as 30 St Mary's Axe (AKA the Gherkin) in London, are only logistically and economically possible thanks to mathematics. Curved panels of glass or other material are expensive to manufacture and to fit. Surprisingly, the curved surface of the Gherkin has been created almost entirely out of flat panels of glass — the only curved piece is the cap on the very top of the building. And simple geometry is all that is required to understand how.

What's going on?
