|Dragons suffer second loss of season
|Written by Chris Lee
The first home football game on Max Bernard field Friday, Sept. 11 proved to be yet another tough test for the Holyoke Dragons. Perkins County, (Grant) Neb. came to town and ran all over the home team on their way to a 28-6 win.
For the second straight week, the Dragons were outplayed in the first half leading to the loss. After the first two quarters Holyoke found themselves in a 21-0 hole. It was the same scenario from a week earlier in Imperial, Neb. where the Longhorns built up a 21-point lead at the half.
"If we can figure out how to play the first half, I think we'll be alright," Trumper said. "They were very similar to Imperial. Big and strong up front and run oriented. We aren't giving up very many big plays, just first down after first down."
Trumper said they were really tough up front and were successful at taking away the deep ball, forcing Holyoke to throw short passes and run the ball.
Holyoke won the toss and selected to defer to the second half, kicking off to the Plainsmen. Perkins County only needed three and a half minutes to reach the end zone on their opening drive taking the early 7-0 lead.
The Dragons' opening drive began at their own 20-yard line. Broc Pelle grabbed 6 of his 24 rushing yards and his 4 receiving yards for a first down. Brett Cumming got stuffed in the middle on the next carry for a loss of 2 yards. A holding penalty against the Dragons brought up third down and Logan Krueger threw his first of four interceptions on the night.
The Dragon defense stiffened, forcing the Plainsmen to attempt a fourth down from the 29-yard line. A pass from quarterback Michael York looked as if it hit the ground and the receiver trapped it. It was called a catch. After arguments from the Holyoke sideline the play stood as called giving Perkins County a first down and eventually a touchdown with just under four minutes left in the first quarter.
The next drive for the Dragons ended a lot like the first. Holyoke moved the ball into Perkins County territory after a couple of long runs by Pelle and passes from Krueger. On third and five from the 33-yard line, Krueger was picked off again.
A long drive followed for the Plainsmen. After some penalties and long plays, Perkins County managed to take the ball down to Holyoke's 13-yard line. The Dragon defense held strong forcing the visitors to attempt a field goal on fourth and six. The kick was no good pumping some life into the Holyoke sideline. It didn't last long as the Dragons went three and out and were forced to punt.
The Plainsmen again pounded it out on the ground on their way to another touchdown. This time it was a 3-yard quarterback keeper by York. After a successful PAT the scoreboard read in favor of Perkins County, 21-0.
Holyoke managed to maneuver into Plainsman territory but again was unable to convert on fourth down. Perkins County took two knees to run the clock out at the half.
Holyoke came out full of energy in the second half but a few mistakes kept the Dragons from building any momentum.
Kyle Carper began the second half, returning the kick-off to the 27-yard line. From there, the Dragons moved across midfield down to the Perkins County 33-yard line. After a sack it was fourth and 23. Krueger's pass was incomplete giving the Plainsmen the ball. It wouldn't be long before the Dragons got another chance as Perkins County put the ball on the turf and Holyoke recovered. Four plays later, Krueger found Carper in the end zone for Holyoke's first and only score of the game.
The two teams traded two scoreless possessions each before the Plainsmen found the end zone again with just over six minutes left in the game.
With a 28-6 lead, the Perkins County kick-off sailed into the end zone for a touch back. After a 9-yard sack, it looked as if the Dragons would again be forced to punt. On third and 19, Krueger hit Carper who was wide open along the sideline. Carper streaked down the field for an 89-yard touchdown. As the crowd and sideline cheered, the whistle blew and a flag had been thrown. Illegal man down field was the call.
Trumper said Ryan Baumgartner told the official he was going to line up off the line but ended up being a little close and the official didn't say anything. Trumper said it was a tough call because Baumgartner knew what he was doing and where he needed to be but was flagged for an illegal man down field, negating the 89-yard touchdown pass to Carper.
The Plainsmen were unable to do anything with their next possession and were forced to punt. With two and a half minutes left in the game, the Dragons took over at their own 20-yard line. Krueger connected with Parker Redfern on a 21-yard completion. Krueger's next two throws were incomplete with the next one finding Carper for a gain of 10. On the next play Krueger was picked off for the third time ending the drive. The Plainsmen were able to run out the clock and lock up the 28-6 win.
Trumper said the road ahead will be a tough one for Holyoke. "As you look down the rest of the season, Burlington, Akron, Yuma and Wray, they will all be similar," he said. "They all will be tough up front."
Peyton comes to town for the homecoming game on Friday and brings an 0-2 record. Trumper doesn't expect the Panthers to be quite as big as the last two teams they have faced. He also said they aren't a pass oriented team so stopping the run will again be crucial. "Hopefully we can come out and play the first half," he said. "I told the kids, if we played the first half the first two weeks, we have a chance to be 2-0 instead of 0-2."
Stats recorded
Pelle led the rushing with 24 yards. Baumgartner and Carper finished with 79 and 72 receiving yards respectively. Redfern added 33 receiving yards. Krueger was 23 of 37 for 193 yards. Holyoke finished with 105 total yards on offense.
Krueger led the team with five tackles followed by Carper four and Baumgartner, Pelle and Jesus Hermosillo three.
Other North Central action
Other North Central Conference teams played Friday, Sept. 11. all picking up wins except for Wray.
Akron pounded Lutheran 42-7, Yuma blew out Custer County 48-6, Highland beat University 27-6, Wray fell to Burlington 27-7 and Wiggins grabbed a win from Resurrection Christian 36-12.

Secretary Bryson meets with India's Ambassador to the United States Nirupama Rao
U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson met with India's Ambassador to the United States Nirupama Rao to discuss U.S.-India relations and Secretary Bryson's upcoming trade mission to India in March.
This was the first meeting between Secretary Bryson and Ambassador Rao, who assumed her current responsibilities in September 2011. Secretary Bryson and Ambassador Rao also discussed the Department of Commerce's extensive partnerships with the Government of India through the Bureau of Industry and Security, the International Trade Administration, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Bryson plans to lead a delegation of up to 25 U.S. senior executives on an infrastructure trade mission to New Delhi, Jaipur, and Mumbai in March, which will focus on project management and engineering services, transportation, and energy. India is seeking to invest $1 trillion in its infrastructure over the next five years and is looking for private sector participation to fund half of this expansion through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. The United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im), and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) have been invited to join the mission.
U.S. exports to India through November 2011 totaled $19.7 billion, an increase of 11.5 percent year to date from 2010. India ranks as the United States' 17th largest export market.

A computer is a system of many parts working together. This demo, aimed at beginners, takes you on a tour of the parts of a typical desktop computer: the case, monitor, mouse, keyboard, printer, and speakers.
If you're not familiar with computers, you're probably curious about the basic parts and how they work together.
Computers come in different sizes and shapes. Laptop computers are small, lightweight machines that can run on batteries, so you can take them anywhere. Desktop computers are larger machines designed for use at a desk or table.
The parts of a typical desktop computer are the case, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers. Let's take a look at how these parts fit together to help you get your work done.
The case, or system unit, is the main part. It contains the electronic "brain" of the computer, which processes and sends information between all of the other parts.
Most cases have a CD or DVD drive so you can install software programs, listen to music, and watch movies. Windows will automatically play most CD or DVD discs when you put one in the drive.
Your monitor looks like a TV, and it lets you see all of the programs, pictures, and documents on your computer. Monitors come in different sizes, but they all do the same thing.
Your mouse and keyboard make it possible to work with what you see on your monitor. With the mouse, you can click, select, and move what you see on your screen. And you use the keyboard to type information into your computer.
If you have a printer, you can make a paper copy of what displays on your monitor…like this picture, for instance.
Finally, to hear sounds from your computer, you need speakers. Speakers let your hear everything from e‑mail arriving in your e‑mail program to music on your favorite CD.
All the parts of your computer work together to help you get the most out of Windows.

Royals Charities Back to School Drive
It's that time of year again when summer starts to wind down and the Back-to-School sales ads start flooding the mailbox. Well, this year, maybe you can purchase a few extra pencils, folders, crayons or scissors and help out some area youth by donating to the annual Royals Charities Back to School Drive.
This Wednesday, Aug. 8, when the Royals face the Minnesota Twins, Royals Wives and Royals Charities volunteers will collect school supplies from 5-7 p.m. at Kauffman Stadium. The Wives will be stationed at Gate B, while additional drop-off sites will be setup at Gates A, C and D. All school supplies are welcomed and will benefit Kansas City's Our Lady of Guadalupe Elementary School. Hope you are able to stop by and help make a kid's first day of school a good one!

This looks exceedingly good! Very nice map!
I don't see anything wrong with the mountains, maybe you're not found of the particular shape, or style, but they seem alright to me.
If I may nitpick, the island formations to the left seems a bit artificially shaped, like the shape you get after you use the eraser continuously. Also I think that your map lack a bit of contrast, maybe an adjustment of the histogram levels could fix that.
About rivers, Wilbur will be of great help if you have a heightmap, and on either case this is a good thread about rivers.
Welcome and good mapping!

Cerebral aneurysms, or brain aneurysms, are caused by a weakness in the wall of the artery which causes a bulging of vessel. This results in a weakness in vessel. Symptoms may include:
Under pressure it can rupture causing bleeding to occur in and around the brain. There are various risk factors associated with the development of an aneurysm including smoking, hypertension as well as a family history of brain aneurysm
Endovascular: Through the use of small catheters inserted through a blood vessel in the groin doctors are able to find the aneurysm and treat it with small detachable metal coils eliminating the need for brain surgery
Craniotomy: Some aneurysms cannot be treated with endovascular techniques. A craniotomy may be necessary. The neurosurgeon makes an opening in the skull and through a microscope is able to locate and "clip" the neck of the aneurysm
Extracranial–Intracranial Bypass: More complicated aneurysms may not be amenable to clipping or coiling. Thus blood flow needs to be diverted around the abnormal vessel. The surgeon will connect a vessel from outside the skull to an artery within the skull itself. Then the abnormal vessel can be blocked off without disrupting blood flow to normal brain.

Associated Press
Editor's note: An occasional look at government promises and how well they are kept.
WASHINGTON — Despite a relentless workload ahead, President Barack Obama is lighter on his feet in one sense as he opens his second term. Gone are the hundreds of promises of the past. He's toting carry-ons instead of heavy cargo this time.
Obama's first presidential campaign and the years that followed were distinguished by an overflowing ambition, converted into a checklist of things he swore to do. The list was striking not only for its length but its breadth, ranging from tidbits in forgotten corners of public policy to grand — even grandiose — pronouncements worthy of Moses.
He made a sweeping vow to calm the rise of the seas. And a literally down-in-the-weeds pledge to aid the sage grouse and its grassy habitat.
Obama worked his way through that stockpile, breaking dozens of his promises along the way and keeping many more of them.
Thanks to the messy business of governing, the president's record on promises is not cut and dried. Some of his most notable flops, for example, contained seeds of future success.
Failing to achieve a promised first-term overhaul of immigration law, Obama took stopgap executive action to help as many as 1.7 million younger illegal immigrants stay in the country. Now, after an election marked by Hispanic clout, he finds the political landscape more amenable to trying again.
Climate change legislation was another prominent broken pledge, but he came at the issue piecemeal, imposing the first-ever regulations on heat-trapping gases blamed for global warming, setting tough controls on coal-fired power plants and greatly increasing fuel efficiency for cars and trucks.
Likewise, not all of his successes are all they were cracked up to be.
Yes, he achieved the transformational health care law, putting the U.S. on a path to universal coverage. But it remains in question whether costs will come under control as he said they would — and as the name of the Affordable Care Act implies. Obama swore a typical family's premium would drop by up to $2,500 a year by the end of his first term, but they've continued to rise. That's a broken promise tucked inside a kept one.
Yes, Obama is extricating the U.S. from wars as he promised before and after he became president, but what instabilities does he leave behind? And how many troops? His vow that, in 2014, "our longest war will be over" is on track to be true in the main, yet thousands of troops might stay indefinitely in Afghanistan as a residual force once the bulk of the 66,000 now there are gone.
His promise to raise taxes on the rich finally came to be at the bitter end of the last Congress, during the debate to avoid going off the "fiscal cliff" of severe spending cuts and steep tax increases that would have started automatically absent an agreement. He also made good on his vow to hold rates steady for everyone else. (The fine print: Households making $250,000 to $400,000 are off the hook from the higher rates. Obama had said he'd tax them more, too.)
As for falling sensationally short, the bitterness in Congress on display in that debate, and so many others, was to be swept away as part of the change Obama promised to bring to Washington's ways and manners. Candidate Obama vowed to turn the page from "ugly partisanship," only to concede recently that such a transformation was beyond his reach because "you can't change Washington from the inside. You can only change it from the outside."
If Obama can't be held responsible for cantankerous lawmakers, though, it's worth remembering that not all of the change he promised to bring to governance was centered on Congress. He also vowed to restrain the power of Washington's special interests by barring lobbyists from serving in his administration, only to backtrack by issuing waivers and other exceptions to those new rules. That was strictly an "inside" job.

I've got a user with a Blackberry Curve who's using AstraSync to connect to ZCS Network Edition 6.03. She has an issue where appointments created elsewhere (through Outlook or the web interface) sync to her phone, but any changes she makes short of deletion do not sync back. Appointments she creates on the phone are synched fine.
I've been working with AstraSync Support on this issue for a while now, and they checked our Zimbra server, and they said that there's an issue with the ActiveSync service, and they were curious if it was activated and what version it was. Can anyone shed some light on this? And yes, Zimbra Mobile is installed, and is active for this user.

Looking at the Forum Index, I see that the "Telescope Specific Forums" are related to products by our sponsor.
There's no connection.
When Cloudy Nights was starting up, I volunteered to moderate a Questar forum since I was already moderating the Questar forum on Yahoo Groups. Alistair - who owned CN before Astronomics - said "Sure!" and the CN Questar forum was born. I wrote some of the "Q-Tips" entries that used to stick at the top. But unfortunately I was unable to keep up both forums and had to give up my duties here, and soon let my membership lapse as well. I returned a few years later and have stayed. There is some common membership between the forum here and my forum on Yahoo Groups. Each has its advantages.
The Questar is sufficiently unique and subject to hostile and bemused commentary from other scope owners that I think it should have its own forum. The big Russian scopes can hold their own among the other Cats and Cassegrains, so there is less need for a separate forum, but if you think you can make a case, go for it.

If by "the other site" you mean AM, yeah, I seldom drop in there because the forum activity is low and the interesting stuff essentially zero. CN is where it's at for forums, AM is the place for buying and selling.
Best way to generate some interest in Intes is to post in the Cats and Casses forum singing its praises, the way we do here about our Questars. I'll bet most people have forgotten about the Intes since it hasn't been much discussed in recent years. People are probably confused about Intes vs. Intes Micro - as I am. I couldn't tell you where to find one, or what the model line is, or what the advantages of the scope are. You have an opportunity to let people know what they're missing, if you're in the mood to evangelize.

My dad once said... "A little knowledge, is no knowledge at all". I've owned only six telescopes during my lifetime, now a seventh in what has up until reciently been a go it alone hobby; so, i'll have to defer to those more knowledgeable. Perhaps some day when my hair turns white I will evangelize, if Cloudy Nights permit it; I know somewhere I have a doctor of divinity degree from the ULC, which I got for donating a dollar about 40 years ago.

Just a name change they had to undergo at the time when something was changing in their incorporation status, most likely a purely legal requirement when they outgrew the original incorporation form. I am not an Intes history buff, but this seems pretty obvious from what I did read on their website, although they do not go into details.
These are very cool scopes, certainly up there with the best, and regardless of the performance I like their old-school professional appearance. Pity they do not go hard after the US market, so the only one I was able to lay my hands on was a strange "new, limited-stock, sold as used" one from Astronomics.

You can't get the Russian scopes new in CONUSA anymore, can you? Teton telescopes has been put out of business by APM Germany.
I strongly suspect that the "limited stock, no warranty" bunch that Astronomics were selling (one of which I got) were from the liquidation of Teton.

I have looked at a number of them and the most recent one I've seen is a 7" f/6 made back in 1996. It is going to replace my MN 61 which is up for sale. You can get larger custom sizes, but there are other people who make these instrument if you desire them and have the pocket book to back up this desire.

Then they learned that I-M will only ship their scopes in wooden containers and the heavy weight drove up the shipping costs too much. So Mike sold off his inventory and hasn't ordered any more.
I would love to see a forum devoted to Russian optics. My 8" STF-Mirage Mak can hold its own with anything in its size, but I get tired of telling people they have to go to Moscow to get one.

The Russian scopes taught me that Quality Optics is really what counts in a scope, especially a reflector. All my scopes that contain a mirror are now 1/10 wave or better.

For the record, I had thought right after Saturday that we would lose in Waco.
But after thinking about it, I really, really think that the Cyclones will come home with a victory.
I know that others have been saying this... but apart from stupid mistakes, we are playing good football. And yes, you can separate the mistakes from the quality of play.
It's the little things like Lenz letting the ball go during that return. (He was fighting for extra yardage, which is good.) Like Steele throwing that pass a little late with Gideon sitting right underneath it. (He had pretty good time in the pocket on that play.) Like LJ losing his composure after forcing a punt. (Did I mention that we had forced a punt?) Like a lack of protection and a poor snap on the blocked punt. (The rest looked solid.) Like Jacques not turning around on the reverse pass for a TD. (He was in position and read the play well.)
On the flip side, we have an offense that was able to consistently rack off some nice yardage on the ground, even with a dinged up offensive line. We have a quarterback who is able to create something out of nothing on every play. We have two running backs that I believe are going to be very good ones when all is said and done with their careers. We have a receiving corps that is much improved from just one year ago.
Most of all, we have a defense that held Texas when it mattered. 3 early turnovers, two big plays by them, a special teams touchdown... that's how they got to 37. It could have easily been much, much worse with the lack of focus and discipline from this team.
Baylor will be more talented on offense than Texas, but much less talented on defense. Our defense will be in a dogfight with them, but will be hungry. Meanwhile, our offense will have something to prove. I think this is the week that the discipline makes a comeback in a big way. Sure, RGIII is a freak, but he's one guy. And we, as a team, are ONE.
Believe, Cyclones. Believe!
I hope your right. I'm more optimistic about us beating Mizzou than Baylor. Kinda thinking it will be like last year when we lose to Utah and Oklahoma pretty handedly and then beat Texas but in this case it will be Missouri.
As long as we score more points than they do!
if the offense doesn't commit stupid early turnovers like they have in the first 4 games then we have a shot...but it's happened in every game so far so until it's corrected this could get ugly and fast.
I have a good feeling about this one as well.
For some reason, I doubt that the woes we continue to have with shooting ourselves in the foot will just magically disappear. I think we can "contain" RG3, but our offense hasn't shown we can win in a shootout (which is what it would take). Yes we put up 44 on Iowa, but in regulation that 24 is our highest output of the season (20, 24, 24, 14). I'd guess somewhere around 38-24 in favor of Baylor.
Just when you start to doubt Paul Rhoads, he usually pulls off a great win. Hopefully that is the case this week.
I think your forgetting that we got pretty dinged up on Saturday and will be at less than full strength, not just this week, but the rest of the season.

I agree with this.

Also agreed with this.
I have a terrible feeling about this Baylor game and even before the Texas Massacre (not chainsaws necessary, just turnovers), thought this was our 3rd toughest game of the season (OU and OSU being 1 and 2).
Barring injuries - and that really on pertains to RGIII - I think we get rolled.
I would love to come back and chow-down on some crow but I just don't see it in the cards here...
Yep, this thread has just been pwned.

Key point right here. Do we have enough depth to pull this one out?
"Success isn't owned. It's leased, and rent is due everyday" -J.J. Watt
Agree with OP, I think we take them down fairly easily assuming we hang onto the ball. We have a good team, it would be a shame if we waste this year with all the brain dead mistakes. The turnovers haven't been a big problem with PR teams in the past, they will get it fixed.
4-1 would look SO MUCH better in the standings than 3-2.

I'm using the Beta 3 of Zimbra Desktop for a week now, and I can say it has becoming worst at every release!!! There are several problems I want to list, hoping for a resolution in the next beta.
- often when I restart the mac from standby or login again after hours, I find ZD not in the inbox has I leave it, but in the account summary page !!??!! Also, If I was writing a mail and I had not finished, in this situation the draft went away...
- every time I open ZD the messages are sorted by conversation. I prefer to have them sorted by message, but I found no place to tell it to remember my preference
- my ZD is connected to a Zimbra server 6.0.7 NE, sometimes when I delete a mail from inbox, the mail does not disappear and I have to manually refresh inbox or by going somewhere else (just like outbox or sent) and then go back to inbox to have it updated
- I've never been able to read my calendar when offline, not only the shared calendar of my colleagues, but also mine.
Hoping for a resolution of all this problems before going to GA.

I've done quite a lot of scouting this year in the unit that I got an archery deer tag, and I've never hunted there before but I keep hearing how many deer there used to be a few years ago. Now days, you and go up there and be lucky to see one average buck, but you will see like 20 nice bulls. So my question is: Do you guys think that the elk are slowly taking over a lot of the units that used to be mostly deer? This is great for all the big time elk hunters because there will be more tags, but I'm mainly a muley guy and it kinda sucks for me lol... Have any of you other guys noticed the elk "taking over" in other units as well? I personally think that NV needs to increase their elk tags by a ton.
Here is a picture and a video of some elk I found during a scouting trip. Just goes to show how many bulls there are. Ridiculous.

A stunning interior is a given at any restaurant conceived by Deming Maclise and James Weimann. If you've been to Bastille Café & Bar, Poquitos or Macleod's Pub, you know you haven't really been transported to France, Mexico or Scotland, but it sure does feel that way.
Von Trapp's is no exception. Weimann and Maclise transformed a 10,000-square-foot former candy factory opposite Seattle University into a vast Bavarian beer hall with a soaring, raftered ceiling, crystal-embellished chandeliers, elk heads, a pair of palatial fireplaces, three bars and a grand staircase leading to one of two mezzanines overlooking five bocce ball courts.
Von Trapp's evokes both the splendor of Munich's Hofbräuhaus as well as nostalgia for "The Sound of Music." The only thing missing is an oompah band, not that you could hear one amid the hubbub.
This boisterous playland is mostly geared for adults, but early one Sunday night, families were plentiful. The little kids brought more energy to the bocce courts than your typical pilsner-hoisting player. (If you have minors in your party, it's wise to call for a reservation; there's abundant seating for walk-ins over 21.)

A youthful staff is at your service. They've clearly had some training, possibly not enough. One server, after delivering an impressive-looking burger, informed us, "The cows come from St. Helens and we grind them here." Another who described the Swiss Emmentaler in the Käsespätzle as "kind of like cheddar, aged in a cave, and local," also struggled to explain the different styles of beers.
Though their T-shirts say "wieners und balls," the bartenders have a better grasp of the libations. German and Austrian beers dominate the two-dozen taps, but local brews are represented, too. Beer even enhances some cocktails. I loved the Aged Saab 105: a smooth, rye-based drink mixed with a house-made IPA cordial, lots of bitters and Rossbacher, an Austrian herbal liqueur.
The menu helpfully offers a glossary of beer and wurst, the sausages that are central to the menu. Made on the premises, they can be had in a brioche bun topped with excellent sauerkraut speckled with caraway seed, or plated with sauerkraut, perfect mashed potatoes and fresh grated horseradish.
A sampler entree platter offers a taste of all seven sausages. Each has its charms but my favorite is the Nuremberg, petite fresh pork links that deliver a decided hit of marjoram in every garlicky bite. Those are closely followed by the smoky, peppery Polish Kielbasa, and the even spicier smoked Bratwurst. The milder Bockwurst revealed the zing of lemon zest. Ginger and nutmeg warmed the basic bratwurst, but the finely ground beef and pork resulted in a denser texture than I prefer. Ditto the beef frankfurter, maybe best enjoyed in a bun.
A pretzel bun holds the praiseworthy burger, charred to medium well, slick with melted Emmentaler and cabbage slaw, stacked with onion, pickle and tomato. The pretzel bun has the great texture and chew, but lacks a malty flavor through and through, as do the big, soft pretzels that are house-baked though not served hot.
The pretzels make a fine scoop for obatzda, a savory cream-cheese spread blended with Beecher's cheddar and pinked with paprika and piquillo peppers. You'll find them under "Snacks," along with the Wendel — one long, delicious spiral-cut potato chip-on-a-stick. (Ask for the house spice.)
Crushed-pretzel breading works brilliantly as a coating for chicken schnitzel, the entree that came closest to perfection. While it's impossible to dislike the nutmeg-scented bowl of cheesy baked spätzle, I wished the oven-dried tomato wedges had been chopped and distributed alongside the wisps of fried onion.
Soft, sweet onions, cubed bacon and sour cream topped a traditional Flammkuchen, German-style pizza with a terrific bread-like crust. But tough, stringy sauerbraten disappointed; so did lukewarm beef goulash merging chunks of tender meat, undercooked carrots and potatoes in a lively, tomato-paprika sauce.
This is gut-filling drinking food, to be sure — right down to dessert. The black currant-filled doughnuts and Nutella cheesecake both get thumbs up, as does Von Trapp's. Prosit!

(This story appeared in Friday's edition of USA TODAY.)
LAS VEGAS — Standing in stark contrast to the hype that surrounds Saturday's UFC 148 pay-per-view headliner between middleweight champion Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen is a welterweight matchup between South Korean judoka Dong Hyun Kim and Demian Maia.
But for the UFC's plans in Kim's home nation, the matchup could be as important as any main event.
"It makes a huge difference," says Mark Fischer, the UFC's executive vice president and managing director of Asian operations. "Can you grow a market, can you profit, can you be successful without a local fighter for fans to follow? Sure. It just takes longer, and you'll never achieve the success you would with a homegrown hero."
Fischer, a former NBA executive who oversaw that league's growth in Asia for 12 years, knows firsthand what it takes to succeed in the market. And while the UFC currently enjoys a strong TV presence in South Korea, the promotion has long targeted its first live event in the martial-arts-crazed country. Fischer says athletes such as Kim and Chan Sung Jung play a huge part in potential growth.
"We have a very high awareness level in Korea," Fischer says. "It's been growing, partly due to the success of fighters like Kim and, of course, 'The Korean Zombie' (Jung), who's been doing phenomenally lately."
Kim (15-1-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC), who meets Maia (15-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) on the PPV main card of Saturday's UFC 148 event at MGM Grand Garden Arena, boasts a 6-1 mark in the UFC's competitive 170-pound division, and he's notched notable wins against the likes of Nate Diaz, Amir Sadollah and Matt Brown. Still, he's a relative unknown to all but the most hardcore MMA fans in the USA. However, that's not the case in Korea, where he's earned a Reebok sponsorship and carries the pride of a nation.
"He is a star," Fischer says. "Is he what Michael Jordan was when Michael was in his prime? Maybe he's not quite at that level, but I would say he's definitely at the star level. Most Koreans know who he is. Most Koreans are proud of him for his success in the UFC. He represents Korea really well."
UFC President Dana White insists South Korea soon will host a UFC event, regardless of Kim's success in the octagon. However, he admits a few "Stun Gun" wins could help the company find a more willing host.
"Korea is one of those places that when they have a guy that comes out of there who's talented at anything — I don't care if it's fighting or ping-pong — they get behind their athletes," White says. "It's especially true in fighting. When you have a Korean that's one of the toughest guys in the world, it's big."

Callie Khouri
Birth Name: Callie Khouri
Born: 11/27/1957
Birth Place: San Antonio, Texas, USA
Khouri began as a producer of music videos and production coordinator of the "Rigoletto" segment of the film "Aria" (1987) before writing the script for the controversial "Thelma & Louise" (1991). Praised as an exuberant, liberating, feminist buddy film and female take on road movies by a majority of critics, the feature was also reviled by others as a pseudo-feminist revenge fantasy in which the two central characters shoot and kill a man with his hands raised in surrender, rob a convenience store and choose suicide over facing the consequences of their actions. Ultimately, critical and popular favor came down on Khouri's side, with the writer winning several awards, most notably an Osc...

CHARLESTON - Aspen Matlock had been waiting three long years to get back to the top of the podium.
Friday at the West Virginia State Track Meet, the Wheeling Central senior finally got another chance to don a gold medal on the big stage.
''It feels really great,'' she said. ''I was a state champion my freshman year and to win it again my senior year, it was an amazing feeling.''

Matlock, however, wasn't the only Maroon Knight posing for pictures as she was joined on the podium by the rest of the 4x410 meter shuttle hurdle state champion relay team that consisted of Lindsey Baker, Beth Stayduhar, Bailey Clark and Matlock.
''We didn't expect to do as well as we did,'' Baker admitted. ''Our seniors and juniors are great role models and they were good people to look up to in high school as a freshman.''
According to Clark though, the relay team had put in enough time and effort to rightfully call themselves champions.
''We've worked so hard,'' the junior noted. ''We've put in so much extra work after practice that we truly deserve this. I'm glad we got it for our two seniors.''
And for Stayduhar, the other senior on the relay, the season could not have ended any better.
''It's just been great running with these girls,'' she said. ''I've just had so much fun. We worked really hard and I just couldn't ask for a better finish.''
The Maroon Knights were not the only team at Laidley Field to watch their seniors go out on top.
The Silver Knights of Tyler Consolidated also boasted a state champion.
For the second straight year, Hunter LeMasters is the Class A pole vault winner.
''I'm honored to get it both this year and last year,'' he said. ''I'm just happy.
''The first time, it felt great, but winning it two times in a row, it just made it even better.''
LeMasters' sister, Haylea, will also bring back some hardware to the Wetzel County school. The senior finished second in the pole vault.
The Wheeling Park 4x410 meter shuttle hurdle relay also came away with a silver medal. The Patriot team of Cristin Dolan, Jazzlynn Hall, Kayley Miller and Tamara Bumgardner finished second to Buckhannon-Upshur, whose group set a new state meet record in the event.
Two Hancock County schools watched their respective schools finish 1-2 in the 4x800 meter relay.
The Weir High team of Kristen Mastrantoni, Chantelle Harper, Stephanie Pennacchio and Alexis Virtue came away with the gold, while Oak Glen's team of Christen Mangano, Alex Arnott, Felicity Nolder and Kelsey Chambers picked up the silver medal.
The Golden Bears did have an individual state champion.
Micah Swiger is this years Class AA long jump champion as the sophomore jumped 20-feet, 3 inches to claim the gold medal.
The Oak Glen girls were the only local team to earn a spot in the top three team standings. The Golden Bears are in second place as the state meets heads into its second day.
What to Look For
Speaking of today, while some athletes were being honored with some well-deserved hardware Friday, others were still trying to compete for the chance to get theirs.
Tyler Consolidated's Alex Doak and Oak Glen's Alexis Burch will each try to capture the gold in the 100-meter and the 200-meter today.
Doak earned the top seed in the 200 and the No. 3 spot in the 100, while Burch is seeded second in both events.
Weir's Jonathan Rice and Bishops Doanhue's Elaysia Hill are both the top seed in their respective 100-meter race as well.
John Marshall freshman Tori Derrow will also be in action tomorrow as the third seed in the 100-meter hurdles.
Haylea LeMasters is also seeded third in the Class A 100-meter hurdles as the senior will look to collect another medal.
Action begins today at 9 a.m with the boys Class A discus finals.

In response to TheBostonBruins's comment:
I don't care what anyone says, I want to see Big Z knock Scott's teeth out all over the ice next time we play these a z z-holes. I want Big 33 to make Scott bleed badly. Beat his face in severely!
Can't disagree but if Chara goes with Scott and gets beat up -- B's would be a wreck. Keep in mind -- Chara went twice in one game with Georges Laraque with great expectations and basically fought to a draw both times. Scott is far from a David Koci and most likely a few notches above Laraque as well.

Love the rock / sand textures, great work!
Welcome to the Challenge!
The Fraternal Twins (unnamed at the moment ) are a once-lush mountaintop plateau that was split and decimated by powerful magics. A thin connection still remains, but the magics that ripped them apart also altered and shaped their characteristics, creating two environments that are still essentially similar, yet also significantly divergent.
I knew I wanted to make a dual-environment map (sandy desert / rocky barren), but I needed a break from my usual battlemaps (and I especially did not want to make a really large one, either), so this is what I came up with instead.
Next up is adding elements and details/textures. In case anyone is wondering, there will be a cave entrance/exit for each one, connecting to an entrance/exit below. I also need to fix the border, and I want to redo the river as well. And I need to come up with names for them...but I'm feeling a bit brain-dead right now.
Love the rock / sand textures, great work!
Welcome to the Challenge!
My Battlemaps Gallery http://www.cartographersguild.com/al...p?albumid=3407
Thanks Bogie!
Very nice looking! I really like the duality of it all. I really like the detail and texture on the ground! I gotta ask, how do you do that? Is it a ground texture that you're using? By hand? Or what? Because it looks quite good.
Thanks Psylence! The "mountains" are cliff photo textures (from CGTextures) that I've just miniaturized to act as mountains. The ground texture on both of them is one of my own photo textures (of soil in our yard) that I turned into a seamless texture. I made them into a freebie pack that you can download here: Sandy Soil
I worked on this some more this evening; added/changed textures, fiddled with the border colour a bit (but still haven't fixed it yet), got rid of an extra drop shadow I'd accidentally applied to the right-hand map (I was wondering why it looked so much darker than the other!), bumped up the opacity of the textures underneath each map and did the same for the trees along the river, did some small adjustments to the overall colouring of each map, tweaked the colour of the title banners, added a few objects/elements, started testing out a few labels, and started testing out where I want my roads to go. I think that's it...LOL!
I know that feeling. Every time I think about my submission, and consider doing a bit of work on it, I have to stop and think "Some work? No... It's never that little."
Nice changes! I was curious how you would get into that area, now I see a tunnel. Very cool. I dunno if I like the sand as much though. To be honest, I think I liked it looking a little more Barren a little less Desert, but that's just my $.02 Definitely coming along nicely though I really like the work you did on the twin tombs, but also(and my more favorite) that small alcove to the south west of the entrance tunnel with the scratches/steps on the ground. Which are they by the way? Steps or scratches, I could see it as either. If it's scratches, they kinda look like they came from the boulder that they end at, if they're steps, I think you might need a little highlight or something more to sell their depth(again, just my two cents).
Interesting piece, I'm curious to how it will come out in the end ...
Psylence - Thanks very much. The entire ground area won't all be sand! I usually start out with a simple base texture, and then begin adding others as I add the objects/elements. And yeah, that little area is supposed to have steps! I feathered the edges too much and didn't use a large enough drop shadow. That's why it came out looking a bit...odd. It's fixed now, and looking all sinister and spooky (or at least, I hope so).
Eric - Thank you.
Okay...more ground texturing and objects/elements. I've done the roads, although I'm not sure if the cobbles might be a bit too large? And more work on the labels. I'll probably add a couple more objects, but for the most part, this one is done.
Halfway done now.
Revised the roads, fixed the border, added more objects/elements, and finally named them both thanks to a fantasy name generator that has mirrored twin names.
Looking good! I especially like how you did the tower of the voice.
Are these supposed to be elevated mesas, or just zoomed in pictures of the land on both sides of the river?
The best maps are the ones we like the most after looking at the longest.

We are currently running a postfix mail server and are considering upgrading to Zimbra. The big hiccup is migration. I've seen several suggestions to use imapsync as a migration tool from IMAP to IMAP going from a standalone postfix to Zimbra. The deal breaker for this is having to know all users passwords.
Since Zimbra is using postfix on the back end, is it possible just to copy the data stores from my standalone postfix installation to the zimbra postfix installation? If Zimbra is using a stock postfix, isn't this the equivalent of restoring from a backup? Perhaps a few mailbox reconstructs might be necessary, but, in principle, shouldn't this work?

Buildings, labs, classrooms, stages, and fields provide the backdrop for Westminster College's extraordinary educational experience.
The Hoyt Science Resources Center Renovation will modernize classrooms and re-equip laboratories so students and faculty may work with the most current instrumentation and technologies. This will also maintain the currency and competitiveness of our existing science/technology programs and enable us to develop new program offerings in fast-growing fields that are vital to our nation's future.
Current and future students must receive their education in facilities supporting 21st century learning practices. Patterson Hall, one of Westminster's most important classroom buildings, reflects its 40-year-old age and requires improvements that will introduce smart teaching technology, encourage collaborative learning through more efficient space usage, and provide areas for teleconference technology. Additionally, a new energy-efficient climate control system will include air conditioning to allow for expanded summer educational programming. It will be the new home for the Drinko Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning and the new office for the Celebrity Series.
Meeting Westminster's growing undergraduate enrollment requires expanded residential accommodations. The second phase of Berlin Village is composed of two new buildings housing 40 students in 10 townhouse units. The townhouses offer students an on-campus, independent living experience that serves as a transition to apartment living following graduation.
Westminster has a rich athletic tradition — with over 25 percent of the student body participating in intercollegiate sports and almost 60 percent involved in recreational intramural programs. In addition to serving as a focal point for student life, these activities promote a healthy lifestyle and commitment to lifelong fitness. Upgrades to athletic facilities and equipment will ensure that student and community needs are met.
Read about The Gary D. Brown All-Titan Endowment Fund.
Westminster is blessed to have a spacious and beautiful 300-acre campus — including a 15-acre lake and a Field Station set amid fields and forests. Implementation of a new master landscaping plan will further beautify the campus and unify its features with additional flower gardens, trees and shrubs, seating areas, natural areas and outdoor classrooms, new entrances, and other improvements that enhance student, alumni, and community use.

Ethiopia Limu Dry-Process
We kept this roast quite light, more so that we normally would for a dry-process Ethiopia coffee. But this Limu isn't your typical DP Ethiopia flavor profile. It has lighter body, herbal bright notes, lemon balm. It's not a super intense Ethiopia (like our DP Koratie or Dale coffees are). But with a lighter roast treatment some subtle complexities come out, unhindered by an overbearing bittersweetness from the roast. At one tasting I had a lot of honey sweetness, but overall it's not a very sweet coffee. It's quite dry in fact. I cupped it while traveling a few days later and other cuppers were commenting on they dry fruit finish (not dried fruit). It's unusual, and I think it has to do with regional Limu origin character. -Tom

North Carolina's top golf courses
Golf hews closely to tradition, so its not surprising that for the 18th-straight year and despite a major facelift that was completed last spring the North Carolina Golf Panel has named Pinehurst No. 2 the best course in the state. Although not as old as No. 2, Business North Carolina is also forging quite a history with the panel, as this is the sixth-straight year its ranking of the best 100 Tar Heel courses appears in the magazine.
But while golfers do appreciate a legacy, theyre not afraid to reward change as long as its for the better as evidenced by the shifts in this years list. Dormie Club in West End, designed by the Austin, Texas-based firm Coore & Crenshaw Corp., not only took home the Best New Course award, it ranks as the 22nd best layout in its rookie year. Carmel Country Clubs South Course in Charlotte soared from No. 83 to No. 37 after its renovation.
The panel is a 135-member organization that includes journalists, golf professionals, college coaches, noted amateurs and business leaders. The top 100 is determined by a scoring system that considers conditioning, routing, design, strategy, memorability, fairness, variety and aesthetics. Panelists can only vote for courses theyve played. Per usual, the panel threw in a few additional categories to stir up debate and, as it does every five years, pays homage to the most influential figures in Tar Heel golf.
View a full list of the state's 100 top golf courses and best courses by region here.

Dhoom 3 box office collections are continuing to add to its kitty. As of the third week of the new year, Dhoom 3 has collected more than Rs 530 crore at the box office, making it the first Indian film to gross over Rs 500 crore worldwide.
The Aamir Khan-starrer rewrote Bollywood history with its gross box office collections touching never-before-heard numbers. The blockbuster had raked in Rs 500 crore by making Rs 351.29 crore in India and Rs 150.06 crore abroad, according to Yash Raj Films.
As per latest available figures, Dhoom 3 box office collections in India were Rs 282.80 crore net and Rs 367.64 crore (gross). According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the overseas collections of the film touched Rs 164.01 crore (gross). With this Dhoom 3's box office overall gross collections add up to Rs 531.65 crore (gross), said Adarsh.
#Dhoom3 India: *Nett* ₹ 282.80 cr, *Gross* ₹ 367.64 cr. Overseas: *Gross* ₹ 164.01 cr. Worldwide *Gross* total: ₹ 531.65 cr.— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) January 17, 2014

Dhoom 3 was the highest grosser of 2013.
During the year gone by Shah Rukh Khan's Chennai Express had managed to break the record of 3 Idiots by collecting Rs 227.13 crore. But Krrish 3 pushed the envelope further and made a fresh box office record by collecting Rs 244.92 crore.

In the third weekend, the film earned Rs 12.91 crore in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, thus taking the total to Rs 270 crore net, making it the highest grossing film

Following Rafael Nadal's lead, Andy Roddick's season came to an abrupt end today due to an injury at the Masters Cup.
The American baller withdrew from his round robin match against Roger Federer after spraining his ankle during practice:
I came out here and tried to warm up 45 minutes or so ago, and it was pretty apparent that my movement was probably 30 percent or 40 percent.A-Rod also discussed the prospects of a new coach after parting ways with brother John in the summer:
Unfortunately that's just not good enough to get it done at a tournament like this. I didn't feel like I could go out and try to compete and win a tennis match. It's definitely a tough prospect trying to beat Roger with no serve and not being able to move much.
The risk/reward wasn't there. You're risking further injury where it might cut into preparation for next year.
There's a short list. I didn't want to start going through the process of talking to people either over the phone or in person until my season was finished. That's something that I'd definitely like to get taken care of in the next couple weeks.I'm really curious to know which potential coaches are on the list since he's been through a few already. I suppose we'll find out sooner than later.
Any guesses out there?

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA9) -- County Executive Rushern Baker is reiterating his plan to take over command of the schools and dramatically cut the power of the elected school board.
This is a big deal that will affect 123,000 students, many of them not getting the kind of support from their schools that they need.
Prince George's is the wealthiest predominantly African American county in the country and yet despite the wealth, many of its schools perform about as badly as any schools in the state on standardized tests.
The County Executive thinks if he takes over the schools and has the superintendent report directly to him, he can make the system work better for the students.
Chief Executive schools takeovers have failed to show dramatic improvements, including former Mayor Adrian Fenty's takeover in D.C.
But Baker expects the Maryland General Assembly will approve his plan in a bill that's working its way through the legislature right now.
Big question: what happens to the three finalists for superintendent that the current school board is considering right now.
Baker says he will look at them and try to determine if any of them are what he's looking for.

The NFL has punished New England Patriots defensive lineman Mike Wright.
Wright was fined $5,000 for a roughing the passer penalty during a 27-21 win over the Baltimore Ravens where he hit quarterback Joe Flacco n the helmet.
Wright told the Boston Herald it was unintentional and he plans to appeal the fine.
"It's just tough to swallow," Wright said. "I'm just out there trying to get a big guy down. For it to be called so tightly right now, it's hard. Guys aren't playing the way they want to play.
"In my second sack, I was thinking, that's why I kept him up. I'm not risking another penalty. We're not out there trying to hurt those guys."

Hey all, I have a question.
For one of my stories i have a settlement that has built into an extinct volcano and have expanded the community down of of the ravines. I have a ruff idea of how it looks in my head and I've been meddling in PS with my rather poor drawing skills, but I'm unsure if Im doing this the right way. Would it be easier to design the city first, than the ravine/crater or design the ravine/crater first and try and put the city in? (keeping in mind that I only have 1 'must have' building the rest are fluff.
(rather bad example of the general 'layout' I was thinking. complete with 'must have' building... yeah.. I'm working on my drawing skills.. )

Just as of a couple of days ago, it looked like Dave Clawson, the Bowling Green head coach, might be headed for Cincinnati, robbing Temple of a prime choice of coaching beef. That job went to Texas Tech's Tommy Tuberville instead.
Good for Temple because Clawson is a much better fit for the Owls than Cincy. Heck, Clawson would be a great sell for a Temple fan base irate with Steve Addazio leaving because Clawson beat Addazio last year with half of Addazio's talent. Clawson has Philadelphia-area ties, having been a longtime coordinator for Andy Talley at Villanova.
Clawson then built a FCS champion at Richmond, giving Mike London all the players he needed (Al Golden-style) before heading to Bowling Green. Now, at Bowling Green, he has the 8-4 Falcons in a bowl game.
It also looked as though San Jose State head coach Mike MacIntrye could be headed to either Cal or USF but Louisiana Tech's Sonny Dykes got the Cal job instead and Willie Taggart got the USF job.
Again, good for Temple because MacIntyre kicked Dykes' backside with San Jose State talent last week.
MacIntyre could still be in line for the Colorado job, but that is looking more of a longshot now that former Super Bowl coach Jim Fassel threw his hat into that ring.
Taggart's getting the USF job is doubly good for Temple because another head coach with solid credentials, Mario Cristobal, was rumored to be in line to take over that job.
The Wisconsin job is still available but there are strong indications that Notre Dame co-defensive coordinator Bob Diaco is the solid choice to replace Bret Bielema, who went to Arkansas.
If Temple should hire a "head" coach, and I really think that's the only way to go at this juncture of the program, possibly the best three candidates fell off that carousel and right into Bradshaw's lap. When Bradshaw hired Golden, he needed a program-builder. When he hired Addazio, he needed a recruiter. With the talent already in place, now needs a proven head coach who can get the most out of the talent and establish Temple as a national brand.
I can't believe three of the best men on a crowded coaching carousel at the beginning of this week are still around at the end, but I'm glad they are.
According to any objective empirical analysis, these three guys have all proven to be better head coaches than Steve Addazio:
|MacIntyre might bring to Philly something TU fans haven't
seen in two years: A forward pass.
DAVE CLAWSON _ MacIntrye is either No. 1 or 1A. I'm not sure which because of Clawson, who could be the 1 to MacIntyre's 1A. Clawson is familiar with the Owls, having coached against them in the MAC. He's familiar with Philadelphia, having coached at Villanova.
|Was going to put a photo
of Mario here, but decided
on his wife Jessica instead.
MARIO CRISTOBAL _ One year ago, he was one of the hottest young coaching prospects in the country, after taking obscure Florida International University to two bowl games. A rash of injuries this year cooled his stock a bit and he was, in my mind, hastily fired after a 3-9 season. Still, I think Cristobal, with the Owls' current talent (not even counting the recruiting class) could have Temple at least 7-4 in 2013. Last year, Cristobal finished second in the running for the Rutgers' job to Kyle Flood and would probably like nothing better than to send the Scarlet Knights off to the Big 10 with a BE loss in Piscataway next year. Married to the beautiful Jessica Cristobal. Could have also explained the 3-9. As much as I love Temple, if I was Temple head coach and married to her, that would explain me going 3-9 because I might be late for a lot of practices.
All three would do a better job than any current assistant coach on Temple's radar screen, even the legendary assistant offensive line coach of the New York Giants.

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Surging Saint Louis continued its
impressive stretch by knocking off its second Top-25 team of the week. Mike
McCall Jr. posted 18 points and Dwayne Evans followed with 17 as the
Billikens roared back with a strong second half to down 15th-ranked Butler,
65-61, on Friday at Hinkle Fieldhouse. In recording its second nine-game
winning streak of the season, Saint Louis (21-5, 10-2 A-10) now stands alone
atop the conference. Kwamain Mitchell added 10 of his 12 points in the second
half in the victory. The Bulldogs (22-6, 9-4) have suffered defeat twice to
the Billikens during their run and have fallen into third place in the
conference with Friday's loss. Kellen Dunham led Butler with 14 points --
all in the first half -- while Roosevelt Jones and Rotnei Clarke each had 13
in the setback.

4 of us are headed out for our first elk hunt ... wilderness at that! i am looking at units 14, 15 and 231 to hunt the wilderness areas... hoping to avoid 4 wheelers and crowds and get into elk. surfing the forums i find the are alot of folks everywhere. are our goals realistic? we will be hunting the first 3 weeks of the season.
what about the flat tops unit 24 (23/24/33)? if i read it correctly no points are required but it is still a draw. odds seem pretty good to draw even for out of staters.
