PRC issues "Advisory Opinion" on USPS five-day delivery proposal
March 28, 2011
Last week, the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) issued an Advisory Opinion on a United States Postal Service (USPS) plan to end Saturday mail delivery, collection, and outbound mail processing.
According to the PRC, the USPS advised it that due to falling mail volumes and revenues it is considering eliminating Saturday mail collection and delivery except for Express Mail and existing post office box service.
Removing the majority of Saturday-based operations has been discussed on and off in recent years, as the USPS has seen its fair share of financial challenges, due in large part to economic pressures and a migration to electronic media having a significant adverse impact on mail volumes and operating revenues. This has subsequently played out in its numbers, with the USPS beginning the new fiscal year with a $329 million loss in the first quarter, following an $8.5 billion loss in fiscal year 2010.
The PRC's Advisory Opinion contained its own estimates weighing the financial savings impact of Saturday operations, coupled with USPS estimates. Some of its more notable findings were:
-an annual savings of $1.7 billion, with the USPS estimate at $3.1 billion, with full savings not likely to be achieved until year three after implementation;
-a $0.6 billion estimate of net revenue losses due to volume declines caused by Saturday service cuts, with the USPS estimate at $0.2 billion;
-an average of 25 percent of First-Class and Priority Mail to be delayed by two days; and
-customers in rural, remote, and non-contiguous areas likely to be particularly affected by the USPS's plans.
"Some of the Commission's analysis in today's Advisory Opinion suggests that even lower estimates of savings and higher volume losses are possible," said PRC Chairman Ruth Y. Goldway in a statement. "In all cases, we chose the cautious, conservative path. Our estimates, therefore, should be seen as the most likely, middle ground analysis of what could happen under a five-day scenario."
USPS Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe said that five-day delivery is an integral part of the USPS action plan for the future.
"It's important to remember that the Postal Service came well prepared to this undertaking," Donahoe said in prepared remarks. "Based on extensive outreach to our customers and other stakeholders, we developed an operational plan, analyzed the potential cost savings and conducted extensive market research to document customer reaction and estimate mail volume changes that could result from implementation of this plan."
In March 2010, the USPS released a report—"Ensuring a Viable Postal Service for America: An Action Plan for the Future"—which addressed seven key areas which would make it a more financially viable entity. Among these findings was adjusting delivery days to better reflect current mail volumes, which it said would likely would mean the end of Saturday home delivery, although most of its 32,741 post offices would remain open that day.
This measure raised several questions by the non-partisan Government Accountability Office in a July 2009 report, including how it would impact the USPS's efforts to grow mail volume and encourage commercial mailers to continue using the mail, how it would affect mail processing costs, salary, and benefits for mail processing employees and carriers, the expected effects on delivery service standards, and how consumers and businesses would be affected by a move to 5-day delivery, among others.
In a 2009 interview with LM, Donahoe, who was then serving as USPS Deputy Postmaster General and Chief Operating Officer, explained that the USPS has seen a 23 percent decline in mail volume since the end of 2006, which has forced it to "look very seriously" at this measure, adding that a slowly improving economy may help temper falling volumes somewhat, but at the same time the USPS is not forecasting a substantial volume uptick.
What's more, at a time when the USPS is taking various steps to make its Package Services and Shipping Service more competitive with FedEx and UPS, PRC Commissioner Nanci Langley commented.
I believe that cutting Saturday delivery and processing diminishes the Postal Service's competitive advantage in the package delivery sector," wrote Langley. "In FY 2010, its Parcel Select volume increased by 18.5 percent and Parcel Return Service volume increased 44.4 percent. By leveraging its first- and last-mile network, the Postal Service successfully partners with private parcel carriers. The Commission found that currently, 21.2 percent of parcels are delivered on Saturday and that the elimination of Saturday delivery and processing would delay Package Services even more than First-Class Mail. Why forfeit the significant competitive advantage of six-day a week delivery in a 24/7 environment?"
According to USPS data, Saturday is the lightest delivery day in terms of volume at 15.6 percent, but the PRC petitioned the USPS for volume breakouts by service and day, and although Saturday is the lightest day for mail volumes—because most businesses are closed—Saturday is the highest delivery day for parcels at 21.2 percent.

About STILLEN Parts & Accessories
Steve Millen Sportparts, Inc. and STILLEN humbly started their race to the front of the pack in 1986. Starting with aftermarket mini-truck appearance packages, we quickly found ourselves fulfilling customer's requests to build products for other vehicles such as vans and full-sized trucks.
With that came performance parts, suspension pieces, and upgraded brake products such as big brake systems. Capitalizing on his racing career, and knowing what it took to make sports cars perform like no other, it was only natural for Steve Millen to branch out into the import car scene. Over two decades later, we offer a full array of products encompassing styling, performance, handling, and braking products for just about any car, truck, or SUV.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- Over the objections of the Boy Scouts of America, two lawyers in Oregon have just released 20-thousand pages of Scouting's so-called "perversion files."
The documents show the Scouts failed to report hundreds of child molesters to police -- and that the abusers sometimes went on to assault more children.
The scope of this is troubling. The L.A. Times has compiled the data into this map of the country. 1,247 yellow dots represent the molesters. If you scroll over, you get details of where and when they came under suspicion.
There are 40 cases from Virginia, 37 from Maryland, and two from DC.
Stories like Keith Early's are repeated over and over. Early and another boy abused by their scoutmaster. Early was just 12 years old. "I felt like I was all alone," says Early, who is now 18. "Just thinking about it makes me angry, because how do you do that to somebody? How could you bring yourself to do that."
Lawyers for victims released box after box of what the Boy Scouts call their "Ineligible Volunteer" files.They build on details already released. Cases like Arthur Humphries of Virginia, 50 years in scouting, commended by Presidents, recommended by scouting executives despite allegations of abuse. Even after he confessed, Scouting officials promised not to tell anyone about it.
Humphries was finally convicted of oral sex and sodomy -- on 20 boys ages 8 to 18.
"We are talking about hundreds, if not thousands of unidentified men who should be registered sex offenders who are roaming free in society," says Tim Hale, a lawyer for some of the victims.
The Scouts have been keeping the ineligible volunteer files since 1935. The documents released under protest cover the years from 1959 through 1985.
Lawyers are pushing the Boy Scouts to release more.
But the organization insists it's implemented new policies to protect children. Here's a statement from Wayne Perry, National President, Boy Scouts of America: "There have been instances where people misused their positions in Scouting to abuse children, and in certain cases, our response to these incidents and our efforts to protect youth were plainly insufficient, inappropriate, or wrong. Where those involved in Scouting failed to protect, or worse, inflicted harm on children, we extend our deepest and sincere apologies to victims and their families.
"While it is difficult to understand or explain individuals' actions from many decades ago, today Scouting is a leader among youth-serving organizations in preventing child abuse. The BSA requires background checks; administers comprehensive training programs for volunteers, staff, youth, and parents; and mandates reporting of even suspected abuse. We have continuously enhanced our multitiered policies and procedures to ensure we are in line with and, where possible, ahead of society's knowledge of abuse and best practices for prevention. The BSA's standards and relentless focus on Youth Protection have been recognized and praised by experts in child protection, including Victor Vieth, a former prosecutor who heads the National Child Protection Training Center.
"Experts have found that the BSA's system of ineligible volunteer files functions well to help protect Scouts by denying entry to potentially dangerous individuals, and Scouting believes they play an important role in our comprehensive Youth Protection system."
But victims remains suspicious. "It's just such a loosely run outfit, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting my kid into it," says victim Keith Early.
Horrible stories jump out of the documents. Like the father who spotted the Scoutmaster who abused his sons at a Boy Scout jamboree -- even after the Scouts promised he would have no more contact with children.
There also seems to be a frightening generational legacy of abuse. One of the young scouts abused by Arthur Humphries went on to abuse other young children himself.

Unilever's Dove has always geared its products toward women, but the Sunday Super Bowl ad revealed a new play call. Dove has recently launched a line for men: Men+Care, which will include three body washes, two bar soaps and a scrubber. The Dove Men+Care will be Unilever's biggest brand launch this year.
The Dove Men+Care campaign aims to celebrate real men. According to Brand Republic, "A spokesman from Unilever said the ad follows Dove Men+Care research which found that three quarters of men over 30 feel that advertising does not represent their real lives." Hence, the campaign stresses the life of real men and the journey they embark on to become comfortable in their own skin.
With an ad during the Super Bowl and Drew Brees as the campaign spokesperson, Dove Men+Care aims to attract and keep a core male audience. The Dove Men+Care website has a video of Brees taking a "victory shower" with the slogan "Drew Brees has another reason to sing in the shower." The Men+Care line looks to compete against Nivea Men, L'Oréal Men Expert and Gillette.

GM Performance Goodwrench 350 Small Block Chevy Crate Motor - Everything New Is Old AgainWritten by on July 1, 2012 Well Not Quite, But This Crate 350 Has Taken A Trip Back In Time ... Sorta
I've been very pleased with the gas mileage the 305ci Chevy small-block in my '46 roadster pickup has returned, but over the course of the past few months it's been increasingly obvious that it's getting tired. This culminated in a nice knocking from the bottom end of late. Rather than rebuild the 305 again, I thought it'd be a neat idea to show what can be accomplished by sourcing both an engine and all the ancillaries and dress-up items from a single source.
Summit Racing sells a number of crate motors, but continuing with the pickup's theme of economy and reliability over performance (the truck sees lots of mileage, often being used to commute) I opted for the basic GM Performance Goodwrench 350 long-block. Unless you're set on using a specific rare set of valve covers or suchlike, everything can be sourced with one phone call or website order to Summit. I like the fact that everything I need will show up in a crate and two boxes. OK, you'll have to go buy oil, a few bolts, and spark plugs, but that's about it!
Summit sells Cal Custom finned valve covers and a matching air cleaner top, so the decision to go with a semi-'60s look to the engine was a no-brainer. For a second I was tempted to bolt on the tri-power setup with three 2G Rochesters I have, but it seems a shame to hide that under a hood, so simplicity won out, and I went with a four-barrel. Then I saw Summit's Pro Pack combo deal with an intake manifold, 600-cfm carburetor, fuel line, air cleaner, gaskets, bolts, studs, and RTV sealer. Done deal! The carburetor is Summit's new own-brand carb, available in 600- or 750-cfm variants, the latter available with manual or electric choke. I opted for the 600-cfm vacuum secondary carb with electric choke. With its one-piece design, and the tumble-polished aluminum finish, the carb kinda reminded me of an old Carter AFB, mounted sideways. Well, from the left-hand side anyway, if I squinted! Whatever, it's a great deal, and we'll see how it performs. It's almost hidden from view under the 14-inch air cleaner. Check out its full list of features at Summit Racing's website.
As I was heading down the route of an older-appearing engine, I figured I'd go a step farther and grind the bosses off the front of the cylinder heads to make it appear like an old 265. However, I ended up only tackling the righthand head, as the holes in the other mount my power steering reservoir and pump, and there's no room to re-locate them to the side of the engine. I'll have to re-mount the alternator now anyway, but thought it'd be a bit of fun to alter at least one head. These modifications, plus painting and assembling the engine, made for a fun, easy, one-day project. Now to drop it into the pickup!

2 While there's absolutely nothing wrong with the engine as supplied, we couldn't leave well enough alone and had to modify it. Not internally, but for appearance. How about grinding these bosses off the front of the cylinder heads to make the new engine appear much older?3 With all the holes and ports masked off to prevent debris from entering, we used a 4-inch grinder and a 24-grit soft pad to lose the bosses.4 With the boss gone, an old bolt was wound in with thread locker to hold it. A little too much thread locker perhaps!5 The bolt head was then cut off and the threaded section ground smooth with the head. We left the lower section of the boss a la early 265 small-block. If there'd been more meat on there, we'd have been tempted to grind it to the desirable camel hump shape!6 To prepare the engine for paint we used a red Scotch-Brite to scuff the black paint on the block, heads, timing cover, and oil pan.7 The Goodwrench engine comes with holes for the dipstick on both the right and left sides, and included are these steel dowels that enable one or the other to be plugged.8 Since we were aiming for an older look to our engine, we plugged the dipstick hole on the right side of the block. Here the plug is hammered into place using a drift.9 Here's Summit's own-brand as-cast aluminum four-barrel intake manifold, which is included in the Pro Pack combo. We opted to paint it the same Chevy orange as the rest of the engine. First, the thermostat housing, carburetor, and distributor gasket faces were masked off.
11 With more gasket sealer on the top surfaces of the intake gaskets, and the mating surface of the manifold itself, the intake was bolted in place, remembering to tighten the bolts in the recommended sequence, working from the middle out.12 ARP valve cover studs were supplied by Summit, which will make removing and replacing the covers so much easier in the future rather than trying to install bolts through the cover and gasket.13 As the studs have no means by which to lock them down, we installed two nuts, tightened them together, and then used the upper nut to tighten the stud14 We opted for ribbed Cal Custom valve covers from the Summit catalog, but before they were installed, we added these supplied shields below the filler and PCV holes, with thread locker on the screws.15 We were keen to test Summit's new own-brand 600-cfm four-barrel carburetor. Summit actually offers the carb, intake, air cleaner, and fuel line as a combo kit.16 With carburetor studs installed, the gasket was dropped in place. Note the valve covers are in place but not bolted down yet; that's the beauty of using studs rather than bolts.17 The carb has a one-piece body with a removable top, meaning no gaskets, and hence no leaks, below the fuel line, externally adjustable floats and clear sight glass float windows.18 The stud screws into a blind hole on the Cal Custom air cleaner top, making for a neater appearance than having a large nut in the middle.
20 The crankshaft damper was supplied in bare steel, with an oiled surface, which we cleaned with acetone before applying semigloss paint.21 With the damper located on the crankshaft keyway, we used a new crank bolt and washer to pull it into place. Once tightened, the bolt could then be used to turn the engine over so the fuel pump pushrod would be as far "in" as possible.22 You'll have noticed from the previous picture that we tilted the engine on the stand. This meant when we installed the fuel pump pushrod it wouldn't fall out while we bolted the plate and pump in place!23 The crank bolt and washer have to be removed before the lower pulley is installed, then, re-installed, as the washer sits on the outside of the pulley. Alternatively, you could use a specialist tool to pull the damper onto the crank snout, then fit the bolt at this stage.24 Here's something you only do once. If you don't install a bolt here, oil will pour from the hole on fire-up!25 Again, the engine was turned over using the crank bolt until the piston in cylinder No. 1 was at top-dead center. Here we're checking the rockers are "loose", meaning the valves are both closed, confirming the piston is on the ignition stroke.26 We'd previously used a silver Sharpie to mark a line on the damper at zero. With No. 1 at TDC the mark was visible through the hole in the timing marker.27 Knowing No. 1 was at TDC, we could install the distributor, but first had to fill the engine with oil and prime the oil pump. This tool does just that.
29 This cast body distributor is from PerTronix, but is available through Summit, and is a cast version of their billet Flamethrower distributor. It was perfect for our engine's build style.30 With the rotor arm pointed toward cylinder No. 1, and the vacuum canister toward No. 2, the distributor was correctly placed.31 Modifying the front of the right cylinder head meant we couldn't just swap the alternator bracket from our old engine. However, we had this old-style bracket from Jitney Hop-Up Parts By Jake. Jake Jacobs has been using this self-designed bracket since 1978, which doesn't require threaded holes in the head. They're available through Walden Speed Shop. The alternator is a 140-amp "OEM-look" item in cast finish from PowerMaster's Hot Rod Series.32 Along with our alternator, the starter motor we selected is from PowerMaster, supplied by Summit Racing. It's a Mastertorque item, offering 180 lb-ft of torque in a 10 1/2-pound package that is designed for applications where heat soak is a concern.

NEW YORK - The NHL and the players' association are further apart than ever before.
Union executive director Donald Fehr began the first of his two news conferences Thursday night by proclaiming he believed the sides had agreements on such issues as actual dollars, and then returned moments later to reveal the NHL rejected everything his side offered.
Hot-button topics such as the "make-whole" provision on existing contracts not only weren't settled, but are no longer being offered by the league. Forget that owners were willing to pay up to $300 million to cover the costs.
Commissioner Gary Bettman countered by saying the entire concept is off the table - along with everything else the league offered during the previous two days of talks.
"They knew there was a major gulf between us and yet they came down here and told you we were close," deputy commissioner Bill Daly said about Fehr's remarks.
When the NHL agreed to increase its make-whole offer of deferred payments from $211 million to $300 million it was part of a proposed package that required the union to agree on three nonnegotiable points.
Instead, the players' association accepted the raise in funds, but then made counterproposals on the issues the league stated had no wiggle room.
That ended Thursday's long-awaited meeting after just an hour and sent the NHL negotiating team back to the league office.
"I am disappointed beyond belief," Bettman said.
The sides won't meet face-to-face again before Saturday at the earliest. While Bettman insisted that a drop-dead date to have a deal that would preserve a season with "integrity" hasn't been established - even internally - clearly there isn't a whole lot of time to work out an agreement.
"I'm surprised," Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby said. "We feel like we moved in their direction."
The 2004-05 season was lost completely before the players' association accepted a deal that included a salary cap for the first time. While no major philosophical issues such as that exist in these negotiations, the sides still don't appear to be ready to come to an agreement.
"It looks like this is not going to be resolved in the immediate future," Fehr said.
As he was painting a positive picture as far as the closeness of the fighting sides, Daly was calling Fehr's brother, Steve - the union's special counsel - to say that the NHL was rejecting the players' counteroffer. Once the union was unwilling to accept the league's three main conditions, everything else didn't matter.
"Not only is it unusual, I would be hard-pressed to think of anything comparable in my experience," Steve Fehr said of the instant rejection.
The NHL wants to limit personal player contracts to five years, and has elevated the issue to the highest level of importance.
"It's the hill we will die on," said Daly, who added that the owners were "insulted" by the players' response to the owners' offer Wednesday night.
The union countered with an offer of an eight-year maximum length with the variable in salary being no greater than a 25 percent difference between the highest-paid year of the deal and the lowest.
When the players suggested Wednesday night that they wanted Donald Fehr to rejoin the process Thursday, the NHL informed them that his inclusion could be a "deal-breaker."

text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor Consumers wishing to start the new year with brand new appliances need look no further than Reese Appliance and Repair in Grant. A full line of GE appliances is available at the corner of 1st and Lincoln, with several models sitting on the showroom floor. Having officially opened Reese Appliance in September, the business is located in the vicinity of where Jason Reese and his wife Adair Reese each house their other businesses—Jason owns Reese Mechanical, a heating and air company, and Adair owns AR Salon. "We saw a need to bring appliances and repair back into Grant," said Jason. Repair technician Travis Jaeger will service all makes and models sold. Office manager Tara Nodlinski will assist customers when the business is open, weekdays and by appointment. As a 1999 Grant High School graduate, Jason received his Bachelor's Degree in applied sciences in HVAC-R (heating, ventilation, air conditioning-refrigeration) from Southeast Community College in Milford and then worked in Boulder, Colo., for a year. Upon moving back to Nebraska in 2001, he worked for Correll Refrigeration in Ogallala for five years and then for Johnson Controls for four years. He purchased an existing heating and air business in Grant in February 2010. Adair worked for Farm Bureau prior to establishing her salon in June 2011. The Reeses have two small children, Ava, seven, and five-year-old Alec. They appreciate the support from the area. "We love the sense of community that Grant has and we want to support this wonderful town!" said Adair.

BENTON, Ill. (KSDK) - A 36-year-old Ridgeway, Illinois man pleaded guilty Wednesday to federal drug charges involving marijuana manufacturing, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois Stephen Wigginton said.
A federal grand jury indicted Paul Reynolds on September 5, 2012, charging him with one count of conspiring to grow more than 100 marijuana plants and one count of growing more than 100 marijuana plants. The crimes supposedly occurred in Gallatin County between April 2012 and August 29, 2012.
Paul Reynolds will be sentenced April 25, 2013. He faces between 5 and 40 years imprisonment, a $5 million fine, and 4 years to life of supervised release on each count.
Reynolds' codefendant, 39-year-old Daniel Fulkerson, pleaded guilty to the same charges last month. He'll be sentenced April 11, 2013.

Rwanda - Costa Rica Decaf - Classic Italian
I decided to stay a little lighter on the Rwanda Gkongoro Nyarusiza than I might have, based on some test roasts I did. I roasted pretty much full heat until the very beginning of 1st crack; average of 1:30 minutes, 403 f. Then I brought the flame down to the minimum amount I could to draw out the roast time and yet not too little to stall the roast. This is critical, because when coffee goes exothermic during 1st crack, you must be providing enough heat to the roast charge in order to keep things moving along. It makes sense in terms of pyrolysis in other types of cooking, and it makes sense in coffee. The key browning event in coffee is the Maillard reaction, an interaction between amino acids and reducing sugars, and it's the same that occurs in the browning of beef! And it definitely wouldn't be good BBQ technique to achieve a nice brown meat by letting it go cold when it's half done, then crank up the flame again and finish it. Anyway, the Probat takes care of warm-up phase with the roasts quite well - we don't have to diddle with the air and gas controls from the green-to-yellow-to-tan phases. We do make adjustments for the finish phases of roasting, and this is true with the Costa Rica La Libertad decaf this week, because you can easily race to the finish temp. of 428 f on this with too much "momentum". So I also back off the flame severely at the start of first ... in fact I make sure with decafs that I approach first gingerly. Classic Italian is our darkest roast for espresso, darker than Puro Scuro and Monkey and Moka Kadir. That said, we are still on the light side compared to other roasters. If you want shiny black pieces of carbon, look elsewhere. The fact is, we put such nice coffees in our blends, I just can't abuse them with roasting until everything tastes like charcoal. 463 f is the highest finish temperature on the Classic, and it does depend a little of the atmosphere and "speed" and which you approach 2nd crack. That's where you need the human in front of the roaster. In coffee, the numbers always DO lie, at least just a little bit. The thermocouple can shift a little, the air can be a little more humid, the gas valve can be set a tad more open or closed ... that's where an experienced roaster-person is so important.
About the decaf. You mention

About the decaf. You mention "gingerly" approaching 1st. with decafs in general. I have a beanmass thermocouple and have adjusted it's location to pretty closely align with your temp. for 1st C with a same bean. When you say "gingerly", about what rate of, degrees rise/min. rate would it be? I roast decaf centrals for a family member but don't drink much of it myself.

Missed the Point? Well, you know what? It missed you, too! VANtage Point is back at Down the Line! after skipping a week due to the length of the BNP Paribas Open. The same is probably going to happen for the Sony Ericsson Open, which is kicking off today. But we'll worry about all that later; right now it's VP time!
A Look Back: Who wudda thunk it, Vera Zvonareva taking a big title? I'm glad to see her pull it off, even if she had to take out my pick, Ana Ivanovic, to do it. On the men's side, Rafael Nadal beat Andy Murray easily. Both of those guys took out my picks for the finals, Andy Roddick and Roger Federer, respectively, in the semis. All in all, I'm not too disappointed with my tournament calls: Six out of eight possible semifinalists is all right (plus the Victoria Azarenka over Dinara Safina pick), but I have to get some champs right before I get put on notice here!
This Week's Spotlight: While it was tempting to break down the draw at the men's Challenger in Khorat, Thailand, I can't ignore the "Fifth Slam" taking place in Miami, the Sony Ericsson Open (I'm so old school, I still think of this as the Lipton). The defending champs are Nikolay Davydenko, who's still laid up with injury, and Serena Williams, who owns this event. The gangs are pretty much all here with Nadal and Williams leading the way as the top seeds.
Players to Watch: Let's start with the women. I think you have to take a look at the Williams sisters first of all. Skipping Indian Wells hasn't hurt Serena and Venus here in the past, and I think they're capable of big runs. Then there's a group of three players I'm going to lump together: Safina, Elena Dementieva and Jelena Jankovic. For some reason or another, they haven't maintained their high level of play that they had over the past six months. I can see all of them falling fairly early. And will Ivanovic and Zvonareva's good form continue? As far as lower-seeded players go, watch out for Dominika Cibulkova.
For the men, I just want to say this first: I picked him to make the semis last week in Indian Wells and he fell early, but if Jo-Wilfried Tsonga doesn't do that this week, then I'd say he's slumping. The highest-ranked player he'd have to face is Novak Djokovic, who he seems to own now. And I think you have to have your eye on Roger Federer. Provided he gets by Roddick in the quarters, he should have a good shot to the finals.
The Final Fours: For the women, I'm taking Serena over Venus and Ivanovic over Svetlana Kuznetsova (remember her?) As far as the guys go, you'd think these guys should only meet in finals now, but I like Nadal over Murray, and in the other half, Federer over Tsonga.
And the Winners Are: Everything goes right for Serena here and there's no reason it shouldn't continue. On the men's side, I'm taking Nadal over Federer. Again, there's no VANtage Point next week, but it'll be back just in time for the clay-court season to really kick off!

OMFG! Rich! Are you trying to fvcking kill me!?!?!ReplyDelete
Just when I got used to Rafa's new outfit you come and post this???
This picture of Rafa... the strong, muscular, tanned, defined, PERFECT arms *faints*
Look at those guns! Just look at those guns!!! *faints again*
And now imagine him holding you with those strong arms*dead*
I have to agree Rich, if the Williams', esp. Serena, are playing their best tennis, no doubt she'll win, and Rafa, he has so much confidence right now and is consistently playing like a number 1 player in the world should...I think for Fed, he needs a grandslam win to put him back in the zone, I seriously think the auusie lost really shook him up BAD!! also, is ESPN doing the coverage like the norm, or is it FSN this time???ReplyDelete
maja: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger - just a little reminiscing that's all. it's nice to see those glistening guns again...*drools*ReplyDelete
jonus: FSN all the way baby
- AnonymousMarch 25, 2009 at 4:40 PM
van: you have been pretty much accurate lately, wow. i noticed that you picked ana again to reach the finals, i have enjoyed her match ups lately with serena and hopefully she gets through. as for the ATP side, rafa has a good chance of winning, he's on a roll. however, i'd like to see nole perform better here, just to stir things up. i wonder what the he's feeling now that murray can take over the no.3 ranking if he (nole) disappoints.ReplyDelete
I still think of this as the LiptonReplyDelete
Haha! Me too. I miss that name!
Love the pic of Rafa. I like your pics, I think Rafa will have enough time to rest up after IW and possibly pull of the double, that would be awesome. As for Tsonga, I hope his early exit gave him time to rest up because he looked really tired at IW. My pics are Nadal and Safina.ReplyDelete
I'm feeling Venus for the title - she just seems so "on" this season. If I had to pick her opponent, I'd guess Elena Dementieva. I think she's been the most consistent to the finals this year.ReplyDelete
For the men: TSONGA!!!!! Well, I'd actually prefer Fed vs. Rafa or Murray, with Fed getting some revenge. Gotta keep the rivalries going. . .but Tsonga seems ready for a win in Miami.
But I'm ALWAYS wrong, unlike, you, Van!
Hey Freakyfrites! I don't know about that: Remember Dubai when I didn't think a Williams sister had a chance? We see how that went!ReplyDelete
And Anonymous, I think it would be good, too, to see a good run from Djoko here, for his sake. I thought it was going to be a while before he was threatened for that 3 spot, but I guess such is not the case!
Glad you liked the picks Terry Lee!

Emmy Awards 2008 Articles

Aside from a few exceptions, every dress came from Tacky Town. Which is good news for us. Impossible to include every photo, every celebrity but hopefully what's included will suffice? Especially the sucky ones? Style commentary will follow but first a few thoughts:
 Laura Linney is OVERDUE. When Oscar???
 Ricky Gervais to host next year… with Steve Carell? Anything but those five fools. Please.
 Now I know why I don't watch Project Runway USA. Heidi Klum's voice hurts animals. Perhaps even more unbearable than David Beckham's.
 Was Tom Hanks wearing a hairpiece?
 Tina Fey…Tina Fey…Tina Fey… worship Tina Fey…
 Would you rather:
 Be friends with Emmy Rossum or sit through another Josh Groban tv show anthem medley? F7cking brutal stinky cheese. The boy sings for grandmothers.
 Tina Fey…Tina Fey… Tina Fey…Tina Fey…
 PS. As always, would love to hear from you. Can't write back to all but promise to read every message!

Best Emmy: Tina Fey
Here's a novel idea: write before you can act. Tina Fey became famous for her brain and her sense of humour stands today as the most respected woman in the business. Do parent pimps look to Tina Fey for inspiration? Do they enroll their kids in creative writing instead of Star Search? Doubtful. Full Story
Worst Emmy 2008: Not Alyssa Milano
This is the only photo I could find. Which is shocking. Worst dressed photos sell almost as briskly as best dressed ones. …the f&ck was she thinking??? Am most offended by the small details. Like those shoes. Those Asian massage parlour shoes. Jessica Simpson shoes. Shoes for women with two names - Betty Lou, Connie Sue, Sally Mae, Peggy Lee – who aspire to aging like Dolly Parton: garish makeup, bleached out hair, frosty blue eye shadow, and two pigs fighting under a blanket that make up her ass. Full Story
Worst Emmy Hair: Jennifer Love Hewitt
Size Two wore her hair for a small town prom. Or a small town wedding circa 1995. How the f&ck does this get past security? How the f&ck did she find a stylist even willing to do this? Ken Paves wouldn't do this! Even Ken Paves would draw the line at this! I'm telling you…when you have to go out of state to get your hair did, it's wrong. Full Story
Best Emmy Hair: Felicity Huffman
Super bob. Age appropriate bob. Unfussy and uncomplicated and it looks amazing on her. Her body looks amazing on her too. But some say Felicity Huffman can be a little too body focused… A lot of attention is being paid of late to young actresses on tv and their dangerous desires to be thin. Last week on one of the entertainment dailies, they profiled the pressure all women in Hollywood face to stay skinny. Full Story
Worst Emmy Makeup: Eva Longoria Parker
Too much hanging out with Posh. This is vintage Victoria Beckham: make everyone around you look worse. It's working with Eva Longoria. And of course, it's easy enough with Ken Paves cocking up her hair. The dress doesn't help either. Of course it's f&cking Marchesa! Photos from Wenn.com Full Story
Most Emmy Overrated: Evangeline Lilly
Everyone is losing their sh*t today over her dress. Really? She's gorgeous, yes. Her skin is ridiculous, yes. Body is the tightest, yes. But the dress? Hate the crushed velvet. And that ratty fringe hanging off of it. Like some kind of converted 70s disco carpet from a night club with the lingering smell of cigarettes and sweat all over it and a stain in the back that you can't scrub off. Full Story
Best Emmy Couple: Neil Patrick Harris
Never mind that his boyfriend looks like a young waxy gay Val Kilmer. It's not important. What's important is that NPH is the hotness. And I want him. So poised, so self assured, so damn sexy in his confidence, such an inspiration for Zac Efron when he finally realises what he's missing. Full Story
Worst Emmy Couple: Patrick Dempsey & Mrs BitchFace
Another carpet, another case of the BitchFace. She tried to smile and it almost incapacitated her. My mother calls it Fu Gwa Gon: Dry Bitter Melon Peels. Her godson married a Fu Gwa Gon. Even when she's happy she looks like she's at a funeral. One day a few years ago, mother was playing mahjong and Fu Gwa Gon was sitting in her eyeline. Full Story
Worst Emmy Breathless: Hayden Panettiere
Is it just me or did the 35 year old seem like she was sucking in so hard she could barely breathe? I get that everyone there was Spanxing it last night, holding in every last imaginary ripple, every curve that starvation could not kill, faint and woozy from a week's worth of eating air… but Hayden Panettiere seemed especially uncomfortable. Full Story
Most Emmy Boring: Lauren Conrad
Her own dress was boring as f&ck. The dress she designed for the statue girls was boring as f&ck. And her presentation skills were the most boring as f&ck. So boring that poor David Boreanaz who unfortunately had to share the stage with her was so bored he almost fell asleep handing out the award. Full Story
Best Emmy AssTalk up the ass: Conan O'Brien
Katherine Heigl didn't show but he called out the ungrateful Princess of Asstalk for the ungrateful asstalker she is: "At this point I had planned on doing a few more jokes…but Katherine Heigl told me she didn't think my material was Emmy-worthy." Love, love, love. Photo from SPLASH Full Story

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) -
CINCINNATI: The Bearcats dominated in an instate matchup taking down Miami-
Ohio 52-14, to collect the Victory Bell for the seventh straight season. It
was also the Bearcats' seventh consecutive win overall dating back to last
season. The Bearcats' 4-0 start is the best since 2009 when the team finished
12-0 in the regular season. The offensive eruption came largely on the ground
with Cincinnati accumulating a season-high 272 yards, while scoring four
touchdowns on the ground. Running back George Winn rushed for 128 yards and a
pair of scores for his second multi-touchdown game of his career. Quarterback
Munchie Legaux had three total scores (two passing and one rushing) which
matched a career high. Legaux only rushed for 22 yards and threw for 157 on
13-of-23 passing. Cincinnati's defense surrendered 379 yards of total offense
but were stingy against the run with the RedHawks managing only 59 yards
rushing. The team had six tackles for loss and entered play 28th in the nation
in the category. Cincinnati will play its second straight game at home and
fourth overall this season when the Bearcats host Fordham next weekend.
CONNECTICUT: In a battle of two of the Big East's best defenses, UConn fell
19-3 to nationally ranked Rutgers. The Huskies are now 1-18 all-time against
ranked opponents. The only win came in 2007 in a win over No. 11 South
Florida. UConn's defense was as advertised, especially in the first quarter
holding Rutgers to 43 total yards in the first quarter and only six points in
the first half, while forcing two turnovers. Jory Johnson led the charge with
a game-high 10 tackles. Connecticut held on to its league-leading tackles for
loss total with seven in the game for 46 total this season. Jory Johnson led
the way with 10 total tackles while Sio Moore had nine and 1.5 for loss. The
Husky offense was limited to 244 yards of total offense. The Huskies were
especially ineffective on the ground with 53 yards rushing with a 1.9 yards
per carry average. Lyle McCombs, the Big East's third leading rusher entering
play, had only 32 yards on 12 carries. Chandler Whitmer threw for 191 yards
while completing only 14-of-32 passes and throwing four interceptions. Those
interceptions added to a fumble equaled a season-high in turnovers by UConn.
Next up Connecticut returns home to welcome in Temple, fresh of its first Big
East win, a team the Huskies lost to 30-16 in the last meeting in 2010.
LOUISVILLE: With the week off, Louisville stayed at No. 18 in the top-25. The
Cardinals will put that ranking, and their perfect 5-0 start, on the line next
weekend in a road contest against Pittsburgh. It will be the squad's third
straight road contest.
PITTSBURGH: A late rally from the Panthers fell short on Friday night as
Pittsburgh was handed a 14-13 loss by the Syracuse Orange in the Carrier Dome.
It was the first loss by Pittsburgh against the Orange since 2004. Despite
holding the Orange scoreless through the final three quarters, Pittsburgh
couldn't dig itself out of an early deficit. The offense struggled mightily on
the ground against the Orange with a net average of 0.7 yards per carry and 27
total rushing yards. The bulk of the blame for that was the five sacks taken
by quarterback Tino Sunseri which resulted in minus 33 yards. Sunseri still
had a good game despite the pressure, completing 25-of-33 passes for 319
yards. Sunseri is now second in the Big East in passing yards this season
(1,463). Ray Graham managed only 57 yards rushing on 24 carries, while scoring
the Panthers' only touchdown. Devin Street caught a career-high 10 passes for
130 yards to lead all receivers. Pittsburgh's defense held down the Big East's
leading passer Ryan Nassib, limiting the Orange to only 185 yards through the
air. Pittsburgh has quite a challenge ahead of it next week as the Panthers
look for their first conference win this season in a battle with No. 18
RUTGERS: After a dominating defensive effort led to a 19-3 victory over
Connecticut, the Scarlet Knights moved up to No. 20 in the most recent top-25.
Rutgers is now 5-0 this season giving Kyle Flood's squad a 5-0 mark for the
first time since 2006 and the third time since 1976. It was also the first win
as a ranked team by the Scarlet Knights since 2007. Flood along with Urban
Meyer of Ohio State are the only first-year coaches to still be undefeated at
this point in the season. Rutgers is now the 15th ranked team in the nation in
total defense after allowing only 244 total yards to the Huskies. The Scarlet
Knights are 43-4 since 2000 when holding opponents to less than 300 yards. The
defensive unit was particularly punishing against the run allowing only 53
yards and a 1.9 yards per carry average. Rutgers is the second-best team
against the run in the nation this season (60.6 yapg). Khaseem Greene had
eight tackles in the game and is now ninth in school history in career
tackles. The defense also added to the team's offensive output with Wayne
Warren scoring on a 25-yard interception return in the fourth quarter. Big
East leading rusher Jawan Jamison ran for 110 yards for his sixth straight
game of more than 100 yards. He is one of only three players in Rutgers
history to accomplish that feat. Gary Nova completed 18-of-27 passes for 157
yards and a touchdown. As part of a two-game homestand Rutgers will play host
to Syracuse in the final game between the squads as Big East foes.
SOUTH FLORIDA: A blocked field goal with little more than a minute left in
regulation doomed South Florida in a 37-28 loss to the Temple Owls on
Saturday. After Maikon Bonani's 45-yard attempt was blocked, Temple running
back Montel Harris scored on a 35-yard rushing touchdown to seal the Bulls'
fate. The Bulls lost despite having more first downs (23-22) and total yards
(384-383). The Bulls struggled to stop the Owls' running attack, surrendering
216 yards on the ground on 51 carries. B.J. Daniels threw for 219 yards and a
touchdown on 18-of-31 passing and rushed for a score, however he also threw a
costly interception. The rushing touchdown gives Daniels 24 for his career
which ties a school record. It is the second time this season he has thrown
for and rushed for a touchdown. Demetris Murray rushed for 80 yards and a
touchdown and Lindsey Lamar added 57 yards and a score of his own. Kayvon
Webster led the team in tackles for the second straight week with eight. South
Florida is on bye next week giving the Bulls an extra week to prepare for a
tough road contest against No. 18 Louisville.
SYRACUSE: The Orange got out to an early 14-0 lead and then held on for a
14-13 win at home over Pittsburgh in the final matchup between the squads as
members of the Big East. It was the first win for Syracuse against Pittsburgh
since 2004, ending a seven-game losing streak. In the game, wideout Marcus
Sales caught six passes for 63 yards to become only the sixth receiver in
Syracuse history to record 100 career receptions. Also on that list is Alec
Lemon (150) who caught five passes for 42 yards to extend his streak of games
with a reception to 20. Ryan Nassib, who led the Big East in passing yards
entering play, threw for a season-low 185 yards and also threw an
interception. As a team Syracuse rushed for 120 yards on 33 carries led by
Jerome Smith (10 carries, 61 yards), while Adonis Ameen-Moore scored a
touchdown from a yard out on his first carry of the season. The Orange defense
played well, especially against the run, holding the Panthers to just 27 yards
on 37 carries. The defense was also responsible for one of the Orange's two
touchdowns as Dyshawn Davis returned a fumble 52 yards for a score in the
first quarter. Brandon Sharpe had a career-high four sacks in the contest.
Left tackle Justin Pugh made his first start of the season after recovering
from a shoulder injury. Syracuse has a stern test ahead of it next weekend
when it travels to Piscataway, New Jersey to tangle with No. 20 Rutgers.
TEMPLE: In its first Big East Conference game since 2004, Temple won in a
second half shootout 37-28 over South Florida on Saturday. It was also the
fourth consecutive win in conference openers, the three previous coming as
members of the Mid-American Conference. Also making a major comeback in the
game was running back Montel Harris. The former Boston College Eagle, looked
more like the player that earned All-ACC honors in 2010, rushing for 133 yards
on 24 carries including a pair of rushing touchdowns. It was his 23rd career
100-yard rushing game which leads all active players. In his eighth straight
start under center, Chris Coyer threw for 167 yards and a touchdown on
16-of-20 passing, while also rushing for 64 yards and a score on 13 carries.
Matt Brown also had a rushing touchdown and 59 yards as the Owls piled up 216
yards on the ground. Tyler Matakevich led the defense, which allowed 383 total
yards, with a career-high 15 tackles, including two for a loss. Temple will
travel up to Hartford, Connecticut next weekend to take on Connecticut.

By Larry Fine
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Canada's Andrew Wiggins from the University of Kansas was taken with the number one pick of the 2014 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday launching a great night for Canada and international players.
Four of the first eight players selected into the world's leading professional basketball league came from outside the United States.
The 19-year-old Wiggins, an athletic, 6-foot-8 guard with great leaping ability who averaged 17.1 points and 5.9 rebounds last season as a freshman, joins a Cavs team that was 33-49 last season in the National Basketball Association.
"Just going in and creating impact off the bat," Wiggins, nicknamed "Maple Jordan" for his explosiveness, said about coming to the NBA.
"Just playing my game and have confidence in myself because I have to believe in myself before anyone else can."
The choice of Wiggins made it back-to-back number ones from Canada, after Cleveland chose forward Anthony Bennett first overall in 2013. Bennett struggled in his rookie season as he averaged 4.2 points and three rebounds per game.
Jabari Parker of Duke University was the second pick made by the Milwaukee Bucks.

The 19-year-old Parker, a polished offensively-minded forward who averaged 19.1 points and 8.7 rebounds as a freshman last season, was happy to join Milwaukee, which is about a 90-minute drive from his hometown of Chicago.
"I'm really excited," said Parker. "You know I get to represent the city of Chicago but also the city of Milwaukee and the whole Midwest, those Great Lakes, Lake Michigan. It feels real good."
Cameroon's Joel Embiid from the University of Kansas, the potential defensive ace of the draft, was taken with the third pick by the Philadelphia 76ers.
Embiid, a 7-foot center with outstanding defensive skills, averaged 11.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game as a freshman despite missing the postseason tournaments because of a back injury.
The 20-year-old Embiid, who had been projected as the possible number one pick, had recent foot surgery but it did not diminish his NBA appeal by much in being the third player taken.
"I just can't believe it," Embiid, who could not come to New York because of his surgery, told NBA TV. "It just shows that anything is possible."
Power forward Aaron Gordon of Arizona was selected fourth by the Orlando Magic before the Utah Jazz continued the international trend by taking 18-year-old Australian guard Dante Exum with the fifth pick, despite no college experience.
The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, not accustomed to picking so high in the annual draft that rewards teams with poor records the higher picks, followed in the order.
Boston took bruising point guard Marcus Smart of Oklahoma State, while the Lakers chose power forward Julius Randle from Kentucky.
Canada then claimed another spot in the top 10 when the Sacramento Kings picked shooting guard Nik Stauskas from Michigan with the eighth choice.
A third Canadian player, Syracuse guard Tyler Ennis, was taken 18th by the Phoenix Suns.
"Great thing for Canada," Wiggins said.
In all 10 foreign players were taken in the first round, including Croatian Dario Saric (12), Jusuf Nurkic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (16), Bruno Caboclo of Brazil (20), Clint Capela of Switzerland (25) and Bogdan Bogdanovic of Serbia (27).
Two trades were confirmed by the NBA, with Denver dealing Anthony Randolph and the rights to 11th pick Doug McDermott to Chicago for the rights to Nurkic, No. 19 pick Gary Harris and a 2015 second-round pick.
Philadelphia dealt the rights to 10th pick Elfrid Payton to Orlando for the rights to Saric and a future first-round and second-round pick.
Australia's Dante Exum, the NBA Draft's Mystery Man, will have a chance to reveal his talents with the Utah Jazz after being taken fifth overall on Thursday.
Exum chose not to enroll in U.S. college, the more common path to the NBA, after leading Canberra's Lake Ginninderra College to the national schools championship while he was also in attendance at the Australian Institute of Sport.
He then came to California to develop his game and worked out for various NBA teams intrigued by sizzling past performances in the under-19 world championship in Prague and at an exhibition camp more than a year ago.
Even without widespread showcasing, the gifts possessed by the 6-foot-6 (1.98m) quick-footed and sure-handed guard won admiration of NBA talent scouts and Exum is now eager to shine a light on his talents.
"I can't wait to get to Utah tomorrow and start getting to work," said Exum.
The 18-year-old Exum joins a team with incumbent point guard Trey Burke, who was taken ninth in last year's draft.
"I already spoke to him, and he's excited to have me, and I'm excited to be there," said Exum. "I know we're both going to give up something a little so everyone's happy."
Exum said the fact that new Jazz coach Quin Snyder was a point guard at Duke University was a positive.
"I think the coach being a point guard, he's going to know how to utilize me and Trey," said Exum.
"That's exciting for me and just to be able to put myself in a situation where I'm able to learn and grow as a player and point guard. I think that's the most exciting thing."
Exum's father, Cecil Exum, was a team mate of Michael Jordan's on the 1982 national college championship team at North Carolina and was drafted into the NBA but did not catch on before playing professionally in Australia and settling there.
The younger Exum said he was eager to get to work.
"I can't wait for Summer League and I can't wait for the season to start."
Compatriot Patty Mills, a guard on the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs, is confident Exum will fit right in.
"His athleticism and his length is tailor-made for the NBA," Mills said.
"Then when you add in his skill level, combine it with his ball handling and ability to shoot the ball and get to the rim, you know he will do well in the NBA."

As a long-time Zimbra developer and employee, Ive spent countless hours each week using Zimbra email. I love the overall experience, especially because I have been able to tailor it to my personal style using Zimlets. They are easy to create and over time I have built quite a few. So without further ado, the following is the first of a 5 post series featuring new Zimlets which I think are incredibly useful and empower Zimbra users.
Zimlet 1: Attach Emails
Every so often I miss the ability to easily to attach an earlier email while composing an new email message. This Zimlet does just that, it adds an Attach Email tab in the Attachments dialog in Mail Compose. Once you click on the Email tab you can search for emails that you want to attach or just scroll the list. You can even browse for emails by clicking on the folder tree. Finally, something I really like is with any of these methods you can also select multiple emails and attach them simultaneously.
Here is how it works assume you are composing or replying to an email and now you want to attach some earlier email
1. Click on the Add Attachment Button
2. Click on the Attach Mail tab
3. Search or browse for emails (in this case below Im looking in the Sent folder)
4. Select the email(s) you want to attach ctrl to select multiple.
5. Click Attach button
You can repeat these steps again if you want for more emails or other attachment types.

Dark energy — the debate continues...
As discussed in our recent article Lambda marks the spot — the biggest problem in theoretical physics, dark energy and the cosmological constant remains a controversial area that lies at the very edges of our understanding of the Universe. One of the contributors to that article, Subir Sarkar from the University of Oxford, recently took part in the Big Questions debate series at Imperial College in London, debating the fate of the Universe with Andrew Jaffe from Imperial. Jaffe argued for the existence of dark energy, while Subir argued that it was an artifact of the oversimplified cosmological model used to interpret observations. At the end of the debate, the audience was asked to vote on whether they thought dark energy exists, and Subir told us: "Given that I was attacking the standard cosmological model, it was a pleasant surprise when the audience voted decisively in my favour!"
James Darcy reported on the Big Questions debate in his physicsworld blog, and in a followup post published a clarification from Sarkar on some of the details.
Plus readers, always seeking an informed debate, voted to ask the experts "What is dark energy and dark matter?" in our last IYA09 poll. We'll be recording the answer to that question soon, so stay tuned. And once everyone has had a chance to hear both sides of the argument we'll open the debate on the Plus blog by asking you to vote on whether you think dark energy exists. Will Sarkar win the argument again? We'll have to wait and see..

The media is buzzing with swine flu numbers. Latest government figures say that over 100,000 people in England came down with swine flu during the last week — that's almost twice the amount of the previous week, and up to five times higher than the seasonal flu figures recorded last winter. Twenty-six people in England have died of the disease.
But where do the numbers come from? Patients with swine flu symptoms are no longer tested in the lab or traced, so the published figures are estimates, rather than absolute numbers.

As part of our celebration of the International Year of Astronomy 2009 we brought you the article Are the constants of nature really constant?, in which John D. Barrow tells us how it all depends on which constants you choose. In the podcast of this interview you can hear how changes in the constants that define our Universe might have implications for extra dimensions, gravity, and climbing flies...
If this has whetted your appetite for astronomy, then why not take part in our online poll to nominate the next question we'll put to the experts.

What would you like to know about your Universe — The fourth online poll
This poll is now closed. The most popular question was: "How does gravity work?" You can read the answer on Plus, or listen to the podcast. Thank you for taking part and don't forget to vote in the current poll!
This is the fourth online poll in our series to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy 2009. Choose your favourite question from the list on the right, and we'll put the one that proves most popular to world-leading astronomers and cosmologists, including Astronomer Royal Martin Rees and author and cosmologist John D. Barrow. The poll will remain open for a month and the answer will be published in a Plus article and podcast soon after. If your most burning question is not on this list, then leave a comment on this blog and we'll endeavour to include it in a future poll — there will be three more polls dotted throughout the year.
The most popular questions in the first two polls were What happened before the Big Bang? and Are the constants of nature really constant?. Read the answers by clicking on the links, and discuss them on our blog. The third poll came up with the question "What are dark energy and dark matter?" and we will publish the answer on Plus shortly.

Gettin' funky with da fractals
Summer is the season for music festivals, and why not take in some science between acts by visiting the Guerilla Science tent at the Secret Garden Party this weekend. Plus was particularly tempted by dancing with fractals on Thursday 23rd with Impossible Objects, catching rays with Helen Mason on Friday 24th, hunting for Higgs with John Butterworth and searching for symmetry with Ben Allanach on Saturday 25th, and the Beatbox laboratory on Sunday 26th July.
Find out more about Guerilla Science at the Secret Garden Party on their website, and find out about Our dynamic sun from Helen Mason and Particle hunting at the LHC from Ben Allanach on Plus. And check out the Guerilla Science Freestyle featuring Ben!

I have been thinking about adding one to my pack collection, and am wondering about how it carries. I like the idea of the ability to add or remove the scabbard. I have a Mystery Ranch NICE frame pack that I love, but I like the versatility of the Blue Widow in design.

Prep roundup: Greenbrier East edges Tug Valley in King Coal Classic
Rondale Watson heaved in a shot from near halfcourt at the final buzzer Friday night, giving unbeaten Greenbrier East a 63-61 victory over Tug Valley in a state-ranked boys basketball showdown at the King Coal Classic in Logan.
The Spartans (14-0), ranked No. 4 in Class AAA, trailed 61-60 with 1.8 seconds remaining, but had to travel the length of the court to score. Watson, East's top scorer at 23.7 points per game, got the ball and fired in a leaning jumper to win it in thrilling fashion.
Tug Valley (10-3) entered the game ranked No. 2 in Class A.
The event continues with four games today beginning at noon (see schedule, Page 2B).
For Cross Lanes (13-9), Tyler Corbin led the way with 21 points while Grant Humphrey scored 18 points and Kyle Davis finished with 17.
Also for the Spartans (11-0), Bianca Andre' tallied 22 points and Elizabeth Romeo 12.
For Logan (8-4), which led 20-18 at halftime, Monica Mitchell had 20 points and 14 rebounds, Shayna Gore scored 12 points and Hannah Adkins 10.
Julianna Lowery contributed five points, 10 boards and nine assists for the Warriors (17-4) while Kathryn Legg added eight points and 12 rebounds. Kendrick was named the MVP and made the all-tournament team along with Lowery.

Police found two young children inside a car stopped in the middle of the road early Friday morning with their mother passed out behind the wheel, according to reports.
Jamie Kim Revels, 30, appeared to be impaired on a controlled substance other than alcohol, wrote Gastonia Police Officer C.D. Huffstetler in a warrant affidavit. Police reported finding two pills of Clonazepam in the 1998 Mercury Revels was driving, according to a citation.
Police found Revels at 12:20 a.m. Friday on Myrtle Road near the intersection of May Street. The two children, ages 5 years and 4 years, also were in the car.
Revels told police and the magistrate that she did not believe her children were at risk.
�This magistrate does not believe the defendant takes seriously the danger she placed her children in,� wrote Magistrate Judge Chris Stadler.
Revels faces charges including driving while impaired, two counts of child neglect and possession of a controlled substance.
Court officials obtained a blood sample from Revels to determine what drugs she may have been using.
Revels was booked into Gaston County Jail under a $10,000 bond.
