Philadelphia: The Center Of It All
The only thing easier than getting to Philadelphia is getting around once you're here. In Philadelphia, everything is just around the corner, but miles from ordinary.
Only 100 miles from New York City and 130 miles from Washington, D.C., we're not kidding when we say we're in the center of it all.
- By plane: There are more than 1,200 daily nonstop flights to PHL. Once you're here, it's a 25-minute ride by SEPTA mass transit or a 10-minute ride in a taxi to cover the eight miles fromPhiladelphia International Airport to Center City. SEPTA's Airport Line leaves at 30-minute intervals, and a one-way fare is $8. The taxi ride costs a flat rate of $28.50. Click here or call the Airport Ground Transportation Hotline at 215-937-6958 for information on other ground transportation options.
- By train: Amtrak Acela and commuter trains arrive at historic 30th Street Station throughout the day, placing passengers within a short walk of Center City. Philadelphia is only 1 hour and 20 minutes from New York City and 1 hour and 45 minutes from Washington, D.C., via Acela Express.
- By bus: Megabus offers low-cost express bus routes throughout the Northeast Corridor.
- By car: Almost half of the U.S. population is within a day's drive of Philadelphia.

Recent outbreaks in the city of measles - a once unthinkably prevalent disease due to broad vaccination efforts, - coincides with similar outbreaks of mumps at Ohio State University. The fact that both maladies would be easily prevented by the very same vaccine does not go unnoticed by public health officials. The MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine) is specifically designed to carry life sustaining immunity to the recipient. Herd immunity: when the number of individuals resistant to a particular infection far outweighs and in turn protects those without immunity is now quite effectively disrupted. How so many are now suffering the myriad deleterious effects of such life threatening, previously eradicated infections bares out that most basic of evolutionary biology principles: survival of a species is dependent on the best adapted of the herd (not, as it is normally improperly quoted, the strongest.)
It is difficult for us in our technologically overloaded, ephemera chasing, future perfect tense society to conceptualize our present existence as a 'herd', but at its root level, we are more herd in our current state than we ever have been. You can call it 'affinity grouping' or 'specialization' or even 'distributed networking' if you like, but the fact of the matter is; unless you're residing in a location so absolutely remote as to be entirely inaccessible even via rare species of camellid or incommunicable by carrier pigeon (or raven, or peregrine falcon if you like,) you are connected to the larger global social architecture.
Sorry about your luck.
Perhaps you are not connected in entirely the same manner as those of us vying for a spot in the relentless, rushing, multicultural stream of twenty first century life in any urb (or ex-urb for that matter), but you are connected. As such, you are tasked not only with the intrinsically difficult assignment of cobbling together a solidly defined individuality, but also the significant responsibility of cooperating with that which benefits our future survivability as the dominating species on this planet.
The page at the jump holds a collection of scientific papers that disprove the anti-vaxxer argument soundly and without compunction. As they are ever-so-slightly technical, and contain a basis of information that requires specialized training and knowledge, it is likely advisable that you bring them to the attention of your physician or someone with like knowledge and the capacity to interpret them should you require it. After that, and a large scale public information campaign, this argument should die an unsavory, and very embarassing death. Simultaneously, it should be noted and forthwith required that in our über-connected, overtly technoized daily grind, the concepts of heuristics and communications should be included as a basic study before new generations are even afforded the capability of accessing a web enabled device. Additionally, it should be noted that non-medical personnel, and non-expert commentators on daily shows are not to be taken as prophetic saviors on any topic. Consider your sources, always.
To sum up: vaccines do not cause autism, never have, and that is the definitive answer. However, refusing to vaccinate successive generations unsafely exposes youth and the surrounding population to debilitating and often fatal diseases whose occurrence we had previously eradicated from our experience. This is Darwinism at its most essential level: those most appropriately adapted to survive environmental stressors shall. Those individuals who are not shall perish, as that is the law of nature. There is no valor, nor righteousness inherent in purposefully limiting a child's life by refusing to have them vaccinated. Imposing such epidemiological mayhem on our youth is expressly the result of furiously unintelligent design. Disease cares not about gender, expression of sexuality, ethnicity, language, or economic status. To quote: an ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure.

Sundance Institute Co-Managing Directors Laurie Hopkins (left) and Sarah Pearce. Photo by Adam Finkle.
Sarah Pearce and Laurie Hopkins are like the left and right sides of the Sundance Institute brain. Hopkins handles the administrative, legal and financial side, while Pearce oversees artsy initiatives, like development labs and film fest programs. And in an industry dominated by out-of-towners with deep pockets, Pearce is from Holladay and Hopkins is a Parkite. They chatted with us about the 2014 Film Festival, including the music, economic impact and the newest installment: artist Doug Aitken's "The Source," featuring his interviews with artists of all sorts.
What is Doug Aitken's "The Source" all about?
SP: We reached out to him in celebration of our 30th anniversary. We wanted to do some really special things and this is one of them. He's a world renowned multi-media artist. He does amazing work with projections and interviews, and in this installment he'll be interviewing people about the creative process and how they come up with their stories.
What's the atmosphere like in Park City during the Film Festival?
LH: It's really exciting; the town has a great energy. It's filled with independent film lovers and supporters, and it seems like everyone just comes together for this moment to celebrate film and the power of storytelling.
SP: We both go down to Salt Lake for the Salt Lake Gala, which is that first Friday night, and that energy is also alive and well in Salt Lake.
With all you're responsible for, do you have time for screenings?
SP: I always try to carve out time on that last Sunday, because that's when we show all of the award winners.
LH: Aside from the films we show on the last Sunday, we also do free screenings in Salt Lake City. And we do a best-of fest on that next Monday, so that's something we all try to get up to as well as we can.
Will you work with Sundance London Film and Music Festival this April?
SP: I oversee it from our side, and we're going into our third year and have a lot of plans in place. It's a four-day film and music festival that we hold at The O2 Arena and bring films from the Utah festival and what we show in January and to introduce the UK audience to those filmmakers and their work.
Music is a big part of the London festival, but what about Park City?
SP: We show a lot of emerging musicians as well as some established musicians in an acoustic environment every day throughout the festival in a venue dedicated to music. These days, it seems there's a trend of doing a lot of documentaries about music, so there always tends to be that thread in the film festival's programming.

Hi Again. Here's another tutorial. I am demonstrating how to do a Classic Twist out on wet hair & Steps for Bantu Knotting below.
This is just your classic twist out. Steps & Supplies used:
1. Co-wash and/or Shampoo hair
2. Deep condition, Instant conditioner or Hot oil Treatment (depending on condition of hair)
3. Towel dry (mildly-leaving it damp)
4. Add oil, and leave in conditioner (optional because hair will most likely be moist enough), Non-drying Gel/Pudding/Mousse/Setting lotion (optional-it just gives more hold/set), and have your water bottle ready to use as your hair will begin to air dry and you want to keep it damp while twisting)
5. Comb hair with large tooth detangling comb
6. Section hair (optional for more control while detangling)
7. Begin parting sections for double-strand twisting (in any direction you prefer-pay attention to how you would like your hair to fall/lay when dry)
8. The rest of the instructions are on the video above.
Here's the steps for a Bantu Knots set:
So this time, on my blown out hair, Here are my brief steps and experimenting recipe for Bantu Knots:
1. Section hair for better control
2. Use Very little Spritz/spray of water (optional)
3. Cantu Shea butter Moisturizing twist & lock gel (or product of your choice)
4. Fantasia iC Organic Shea Butter Moisturizing Serum ( or your choice of product)
5. Natural oils or moisturizing cream
6. Create 10-12 Bantu knots (single-strand twisting)
7. Cover hair with satin cap or scarf
Next morning:
7. Took down knots, separated them & Pin up the sides
8. Wallah!
One thing about giving your hair a break from wearing extensions or weaves, especially in the warmer months, is feeling the fresh (sought of fresh...) air breeze through my hair and scalp. Now that's exhilarating and liberating!
If you try this style using this method, I would love to know your outcome.

South London's contender for the accolade of "Best Fish & Chip Shop in London" may not quite reach the heights of some of its rivals north of the river like Masters Superfish and The Golden Hind. However, it still batters the majority of the capital's other "chippies" and has built an incredibly loyal following of locals and those who are willing to travel all the way across the city for the wide range of fresh fish, excellent frying and unfeasibly large portions. For these same reasons, Olley's has been a darling of restaurant critics for more than 20 years.
Situated opposite Brockwell Park in South London some distance from the nearest tube station, Olley's still manages to appear packed all the time. The take-away business attracts long lines as people wait for their fish & chips to be cooked to order -- and the sit-down restaurant is popular enough to make reservations essential. The dining room's tiled walls and decor are slightly cheesy, as is the labored attempt to name dishes after certain celebrities. You can forgive them, however, for the excellent and amiable service and the fact that, once seated, there seems to be no rush to move you from your table.
Olley's is all about the fish, and there is a vast range to choose from for your main course. While your entree is being prepared, share plates of grilled sardines or mackerel or an old-fashioned prawn cocktail with lettuce and Marie Rose sauce. Whatever your choice of fish, which could be traditional cod or plaice or even Nile perch (seen in our monster fish article) or butterfish, it can be prepared one of four ways: fried in batter, steamed, grilled, or even with a tomato and herb sauce. All are done to a standard that only comes from years of practice and the same is true of the side orders that include, of course, proper "chip shop" chips and the "love them or hate them" mushy peas.
Portions are so huge that desserts are often redundant, but if you have the constitution for another course, then finish off with a simple bowl of ice cream.

College Hockey:RIT enduring rare tough times, especially at home
Rochester Institute of Technology is in uncharted waters so far this season, off to its worst start since joining Atlantic Hockey in 2006.
After a season-opening win at Michigan, RIT has won just one game since (2-7-2) and is 0-3 at home in conference play, the first time the team has lost more than one league game on home ice.
"It's been frustrating," said coach Wayne Wilson, who is 160-79-27 since the Tigers joined Atlantic Hockey. "You make 10 mistakes a game. For us, six or seven of those have turned into goals."
Wilson said that he's seen improvement, but it hasn't translated into wins.
"I break the season up into five-game segments," he said. "The first five we were struggling everywhere. The next five, AIC, AIC, Mercyhurst, Canisius and Holy Cross, we were much better. Our power play was 33 percent, our penalty kill in the high 80s, but we won just once. The bottom line is we're not winning games."
RIT's goals against average (4.45) is second-last in Division I, so it's easy to point to that as the main reason for the Tigers' struggles.
"You lose confidence," Wilson said. "And you start playing the mind games. When you're not getting bounces that maybe you got before, you start to question. That's been the hardest part. The worst thing about our goals against is the timing of the goals. We're not making big plays, momentum plays that can turn a game around."
The Tigers host Clarkson on Friday. The game has been sold out since Monday, impressive because the school is on break this week, and because RIT crowds are not used to going home disappointed as they have every game so far this season.
"We've been able to sell out the last two [Thanksgiving weekend games]," Wilson said. "I don't know if it's that people are looking for something to do, but to be sold out already without the usual student support is great."
Clarkson has won both meetings between the schools since RIT moved to Division I.
"We've seen them on video and the last game we saw was a 7-2 win for them [last Saturday against Princeton], so that was great," Wilson joked. "It's a challenge and we're looking to battle hard against the adversity we've been facing."
Players of the week
From the home office in Haverhill, Mass.:
Atlantic Hockey co-players of the week:
Brett Gensler, Bentley
Adam Schmidt, Holy Cross
Gensler maintained his spot atop the Division I scoring list with five points last weekend, getting three goals and a pair of assists in wins over Connecticut and American International. In the UConn game, Gensler got the winner with 2:44 to go and added an empty-net goal to seal the deal. He's averaging 2.11 points per game.
Schmidt also had five points on the weekend to lead the Crusaders to three points against RIT. He had a hat trick in a 7-3 win on Saturday and added two assists in a 3-3 tie on Sunday.
Atlantic Hockey goalie of the week:
Carsen Chubak, Niagara
The junior is having an amazing season so far, and wins the award for the fourth consecutive week, this time stopping 74 of 75 shots in wins over Canisius and Robert Morris. He has five shutouts already and leads the nation in save percentage (.970) and goals against average (0.99).
Atlantic Hockey rookie of the week:
Matt Blomquist, Bentley
The rookie from Blaine, Minn., had four points from the blue line to help the Falcons to a four-point weekend. He had a hand in all three goals in Bentley's 3-1 win over UConn, scoring the Falcons' first goal and assisting on the other two.
More than their fair share
American International's Steve Mele, Blake Peake and Adam Pleskach were all named to the AHA honor roll this weekend, having a hand in all five AIC goals as the Yellow Jackets lost to Bentley and tied Sacred Heart. Throw in Jon Puskar, who skates on the top line with Peake and Pleskach, and you have accounted for 14 of AIC's 20 goals so far.
Making a move
Big winners last weekend were Bentley (four points), Niagara (four points) and Holy Cross (three points). RIT and AIC had a single point, with no other team able to pick up any ground in a fairly light scheduling week that featured only eight conference games.
There are six league games coming up this weekend, and thanks to the holidays and several non-conference tilts, we won't see a full slate of AHA games until Jan. 11.
Tweet of the week
I've seen several tweets about this video, made by the Robert Morris hockey and lacrosse teams to help their Movember fundraising:
The song was written by RMU junior forward Mac Roy, who was inspired by former teammate Chris Kushneriuk. Kushneriuk was diagnosed with testicular cancer this past summer.

Nompumelelo, a 27-year-old resident of South Africa, initially kept her HIV-positive status a secret from her family and friends. "It was a very big shock when I discovered I was positive," she said. "I just cried and cried. I never told anybody. I thought I was going to die." After discovering her status, Nompumelelo quit studying and looking for a job. She worried about the health of her three-year-old son, Elihle. "I went to get him tested," Nompumelelo said. "I was devastated when he was also positive."
Nompumelelo received medical aid that allowed Elihle to start taking antiretroviral drugs immediately. Unfortunately, there was not adequate money to pay for her treatment as well. In January 2004, a CD4 test revealed that her CD4 count was down to a mere five. She desperately needed to start antiretroviral treatment.
Nompumelelo did not believe she had any options, until a family friend told her about McCord Hospital's Sinikithemba Clinic. Sinikithemba is a Zulu word meaning "place of hope," and the clinic has lived up to its name. The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (Emergency Plan/PEPFAR) supports the Sinikithemba Clinic, which is situated in the center of Durban. The clinic assists HIV-infected and affected people and their families. With PEPFAR support, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation works with the clinic to provide antiretroviral treatment to adults and children living with HIV/AIDS, including Nompumelelo and Elihle.
After hesitating to tell people that she was living with HIV/AIDS, Nompumelelo said she is now completely honest with everyone. "I am used to it now," said Nompumelelo, who is feeling better and looking for work again. "I don't believe that this virus will kill me. It is just there and something that I can cope with."

Dysport is a non-surgical treatment that relaxes facial muscles thus smoothing and reducing wrinkles and frown-lines. The treatment involves an injection which is used as a neuromuscular blocking toxin and it is commonly performed to adults who are less than sixty five years of age. The process is so popular that there are places where interested people can readily get various Dysport rebate programs to enable them afford to pay the relevant cost.
Dysport was discovered and initially practiced in the early 90s where it was meant to treat ophthalmic and neurological conditions. Since then numerous experiments and tests have been conducted by experts to improve and make the process more efficient. This has characterized application and successful treatment of thousands of patients with a variety of conditions which include:
- Excessive sweating under the armpit
- Flown lines removal
- Crow's feet
- Forehead lines
- Lips realignment
Furthermore, the treatment have the FDA approval in the United States of America thus confirming the point that it has been tested, applied and deemed to be safe for the treatment of the relevant conditions.
The cost of getting a disport is usually varying mainly according to the geographical region in which the treatment is conducted and also the body part that is being treated. But the average price per unit in most geographical regions and most body parts is $3.5. The total cost culminates to higher figures depending on the number of units that the particular person is going to undergo. The standard total cost for regular areas such as frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines is about $400 for one area. If the process is being done to two areas at the same time, the cost rises to about $700 and to $ 900 for three areas. The price for minor areas such as upper lips is usually at an average of $100.
Getting the best Dysport treatment
The fact that Dysport is relatively costly discourage some people who cannot comfortably foot the relevant bills. This not only keeps many people with wrinkles which they do not want, but it also reduces business for the treatment providers because the number of customers is reduced. Consequently, the treatment providers introduces rebates which not only make the process affordable, but they also act as a marketing strategy where by some of the rebate programs goes to the extents of paying people who choose to undertake the treatment.
Amongst the most popular forms of rebates include where people who are trying Dysport injections for the first time are given some money which commonly range from $50 to $100. This is meant to encourage as many people as possible to use Dysport instead of other competing methods of wrinkles removal. If a person goes back for a second purchase of the injection, then the rebate program allows them to get about $50 to $100 back consequently reducing the total amount. This is still meant to encourage the person to continue using Dysport.
The rebates are also segregated into various time periods such as summer, winter and certain months of the year amongst others. There are also rebate programs for people who have used Dysport for a certain period without changing to competing products. As a result many people are encouraged to start and keep on using Dysport as a wrinkle treatment method. Furthermore, interested people are able to look attractive through removal of unwanted wrinkles without necessarily spending a lot of money.
Where to get a Dysport rebate
Majority of the rebate programs are conducted by Dysport providers who are usually located in physical offices or online. The ones in physical offices primarily serve only the people who are around that geographical region. However the ones online can serve people in different geographical regions as long as they are able to access the internet.
The online rebate programs are readily available by just entering the relevant words and phrases in diverse search engines. However it is paramount to be caution on the online rebate program subscribed to since there are some fraudulent programs which promises to give rebates but breaks their promises.There are also rebate programs which are not licensed to provide the dysport treatments and hence puts peoples' health at risk. Hence with keen scrutiny a person can readily get a good Dysport rebate which can significantly reduce the cost of removing wrinkles and looking attractive.

The 2006 draft was considered to be one of the best talent hauls in NFL history.
As the league's annual player lottery goes, it had it all - star quarterbacks, pass-rush demons, franchise running backs, dominant linebackers, game-breaking return men.
Its star power was unrivaled, led by The Big Three: Southern Cal running back Reggie Bush, his Trojans teammate, quarterback Matt Leinart, and Texas quarterback Vince Young.
Six players carried superior grades of 9.5 or higher in Mel Kiper's draft guide. The only time in the past decade that's happened was 2004, when Eli Manning, Larry Fitzgerald, Sean Taylor, Philip Rivers, Kellen Winslow Jr. and Ben Roethlisberger came out.
Scouts described the talent in the Class of 2006 in reverential terms. Longtime NFL draft analyst Gil Brandt called it "spectacular." Texans General Manager Charlie Casserly used the word "exceptional." Kiper said it was "extraordinary."
"At every position you have star value, on both sides of the ball," Kiper said. "So from an excitement standpoint, there's no question this draft should be as good as it gets."
Five years later, veteran NFL draft analyst Nolan Nawrocki uses a different word to describe the Class of 2006: "Overhyped."
"There's been a lot of disappointments," he said.
Turns out, The Big Three was a Big Whiff.
Young wasn't a bigger, stronger, more accurate Michael Vick. Although he did earn Pro Bowl invitations in 2006 and 2009, he essentially has been disenfranchised in Tennessee. No one in the Titans organization today would call the selection of Young a wise move.
Leinart, as it stands, has not been a cross between John Elway and Ken Stabler. He flamed out in Arizona and now is a backup in Houston. Leinart looks more like a combination of Joey Harrington and Cade McNown.
And Bush, as we all know, hasn't become a legend or can't-miss superstar. He's certainly been a productive player, especially when healthy, which hasn't been as often as he or the Saints would like. But his career at this stage more closely resembles that of Eric Metcalf than the Hall of Famers he was often compared to coming out of USC: Gale Sayers, Barry Sanders and Marshall Faulk.
"Reggie Bush to me clearly was over-drafted," Nawrocki said. "He hasn't been able to contribute as an every-down back. He has been more of a role player, certainly a guy who clearly would have been drafted further down (today). It's been proven over time that Houston made the right pick in Mario Williams."
Indeed, Williams hasn't taken the league by storm the way some folks envisioned, but he has gone to two Pro Bowls and was an alternate for a third.
"(Bush) is too easily distracted, and that's one of the reasons Charley (Casserly) passed on him, the off-the-field concerns that were swirling at the time," Nawrocki said. "I think the Texans clearly made the right choice."
Indeed, with the benefit of hindsight, the 2006 draft looks decidedly less spectacular, especially the top of the first round where teams invest so much time and money to ensure they are correct.
If the 2006 draft were held today, the Big Three most likely wouldn't even be worthy of first-round selections.
That's as much a testament to the quality of depth in the draft as it is an indictment on their talents. Some of the productive players in the 2006 draft came in the middle and late rounds or weren't even drafted.
An incredible 33 Pro Bowl players came from the 2006 draft, and while few appear headed for Hall of Fame careers, the depth of the class was indeed extraordinary. Six Pro Bowl players were found in the fourth round, including Saints guard Jahri Evans. Five players who went undrafted eventually became Pro Bowlers, among them Cowboys receiver Miles Austin, Falcons cornerback Brent Grimes and Buccaneers tackle Donald Penn.
The Saints trawled this talent bed as well as anyone. Their eight-man haul that year is arguably the best class in franchise history, certainly the best since the famed Class of 1981, which produced George Rogers, Rickey Jackson, Frank Warren, Hoby Brenner and Hokie Gajan.
The Saints' class of 2006 included two future Pro Bowl, Evans and safety Roman Harper, and two other key full-time starters in Bush and wide receiver Marques Colston. In fact, Colston, who the Saints discovered in the seventh round, is on his way to becoming the franchise's all-time leading receiver. Throw in reserve tackle Zach Strief, and you have several key blocks in the team's Super Bowl foundation.
The 2006 draft is a good thing to remember when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell rattles off the names of the draft picks later this month. Sometimes the hype is justified. And sometimes the can't-miss prospects do indeed miss.

Justin Beiber Nominated for Black Entertainment Television (BET) Award
Well I tried to tell all you fool-hardy parents that Justin Bieber is just a veiled thug who is trying to trick your daughters into exposing her whispering eye to the local black drug dealer, but you failed to listen.
Now we see the proof is in the pudding. Last year Bieber sold millions of fornicated albums to our young daugters and no telling now how many are selling themselves for drugs and a warm meal.
BET (Blacks Entertainment Television) is proud of Justin Bieber for teaming up with gangsters like Ludacris as pictured in the picture above. We see him also making friends with more in the following evidence.
Would you drop your daughter off in the ghetto on late Saturday then tell her "Go play and have fun, sweetie!" then leave her there in her cute print dress and blouse. Any parent who says yes is a sicko and will be thrown straight into the hottest burnt black ghetto of hell!
So if that is the case, why on Earth would you let your daughter or even son listen to someone who is endorsed by the Blacks Entertainment Television (BET)? They applaud and give awards to drug dealers, gangsters and street pimpers. They allow these people to think they are good people instead of condemning them look the hoodlums they are!
Look at them praise Bieber and remember birds of a feather flock together, so let us shoot all these low life mongrels down with boycotts and prayers.
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Air Force coach Troy Calhoun knew what to expect from New Mexico on Friday night.
The Falcons had no way to stop it.
"There's a reason they're one of the best rushing teams in the country if not the very best," Calhoun said. "And they proved that tonight. You want to be able to come up with some stops."
Air Force (2-8, 0-6 Mountain West) was unable to make enough stops in a 45-37 loss.
"Up front, they are a mammoth group, their offensive line," Calhoun said. "I thought they did a nice job of being able to push on that advantage."
New Mexico retired Brian Urlacher's No. 44 jersey at halftime and the former Chicago Bears linebacker gave the Lobos a pep talk before the game.
"You can tell he's a leader," New Mexico tailback Kasey Carrier said. "I was thinking we were the Chicago Bears. I was like, 'Let's go!' He got pretty intense. And he's a big dude, too."
New Mexico used that inspiration to beat the Falcons.
"Getting a win with him in the stadium means a lot to our team," said Carrier, who finished with 179 rushing yards to lead a ground attack that had 451 yards.
Lobos quarterback Cole Gautsche added 140 yards and two scores and also threw a touchdown pass — a 28-yarder to Jeric Magnant in the first quarter — on his only completion in three attempts.
"If you didn't know any better, there's a resemblance to Tim Tebow," Calhoun said about Gautsche. "With his size — and when you meet the kid, he is a huge young man — and that execution-wise is pretty crafty, too."
New Mexico (3-6, 1-4 Mountain West) snapped a four-game losing streak.
"It's just as big as any other win, but I guess it feels a little bigger just because we've been kind of down and Air Force is a pretty solid team and we came out and won," said linebacker Brett Bowers, who wore Urlacher's No. 44 until this game.
The teams combined for 924 total yards, but one of the biggest plays came on defense when Bowers sacked Air Force quarterback Nate Romine for a 13-yard loss on a fourth-and-23 attempt midway through the fourth quarter with the Falcons trailing 42-34. The Lobos then took 4:10 off the clock in driving for a field goal.
Perhaps a bigger play, however, came in the third quarter New Mexico backup running back Jhurell Presley broke off a 61-yard touchdown run shortly after Air Force (2-8, 0-6) had taken its first lead at 28-27.
"That was a big play, a very big play," Calhoun said. "It was just one of those where you get into a contest with a bunch of points and bunch of yards and that certainly happened."
Anthony LaCoste ran for 177 yards for Air Force, and Romine threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score.
Urlacher was a standout defensive back from 1996-99 at New Mexico. He played linebacker for the Bears, retiring after last season.
"It's a big deal," said Urlacher, from the small New Mexico town of Lovington. "There's a lot of people from my hometown that came up here to watch this and be a part of it. So I'm very excited and honored to have this chance to do this."

Nov. 9, 2007
Coming into the 2007 season, the Washington women's cross country team appeared loaded with talent but outside of two-time NCAA participant Anita Campbell, there were few runners who had proven themselves. One woman with veteran experience was junior Amanda Miller, a two-time All-American, but those honors came on the track in the shorter distances of 800-meters and the mile. Miller had a solid cross country postseason for Washington one year ago, but this season has come on strong to truly impact the team the same way she has always done on the track. Two weeks ago at the Pac-10 Championships, Miller placed a career-best 15th, helping the Huskies tie fifth-ranked Arizona State for third-place and moving Washington up to No. 7 in the national coaches' poll, its highest ranking since 2000. Miller took some time before practice this week to chat with GoHuskies.com about her newfound cross country success and this Saturday's NCAA Regionals, where the women will look to earn a bid to the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2004.
GoHuskies.com: The team came into this year with a pretty clear top-three runners (Anita Campbell, Katie Follett, Mel Lawrence); but you've really come on strong and turned it into more of a top-four.
Amanda Miller: "Yeah, I think this is the first year that I've actually had a full cross country season. This feels like the first year I can really impact the team like I want to."
GH: What is it like for you, not just the team aspect of it, but for you personally to step up and make an impact?
AM: "Well it's been a long time coming; I've wanted to really make an impact for awhile, so it's been really inspirational having a good season. Getting on a roll feels good, it's been exciting."
GH: You've been getting faster and faster all season, leading to a 15th-place finish at Pac-10's. Has the prospect of the team going to NCAA's helped you along?
AM: "Yeah, this would be my first year going to the NCAA's so every step along the way has given me a little extra drive to get there since we actually have a better chance of making it as a team."
GH: Speaking of the team, it's been a couple years since the last NCAA appearance, and that's something new because there was an eight-year stretch that preceded it where the team made it every year. What's the team's mindset with the NCAA bid on the line this weekend?
AM: "I think it's really exciting since as you said we haven't been there in awhile. In the last few years we've been so close and just barely missed it so to finally be there and know we're going to be making an impact, it just builds, you know? Each year we've wanted it more and more and now we finally have the chance to go and do it so it's more exciting."
GH: Talk about some of the runners that are in the program now, include yourself but also Anita and Mel and down the list with Trisha Rasmussen and everybody that's been able to contribute this year. Is it a better team than it has been in the past?
AM: "I don't know if it's necessarily better, I just think we have the right people working at the right time. Of course Anita has always been there as one of our front runners, which is always good to have and then for Katie Follett to step up this year and have a really good summer of training and really be a part of this team is crucial too. And then as far as me, I feel like I'm finally getting where I'm supposed to be on the team, running up with the top girls on the team. And of course Mel coming in as a freshman is just amazing this year, to come in and make such an impact, not many freshmen can come in and do that. We've had to deal with Amy Lia and Tori Tyler missing the season due to injury, and they have been two of our top runners the last few years, and it's frustrating because we know if we had them they would be another factor as well. But the fact that is we still have enough girls to go get it done. Trisha has been our crucial fifth person, she's been there every year, chugging away, and she's finally stepping up. I think we finally have it put together and I think each year we will just build and build, so I think it will be good having new people coming in and making an impacting."
GH: You're already a two-time All-American in track, how do you see this cross country success translating into track?
AM: "Well I consider myself mostly a track athlete so to be able to come in and have more success in cross country is really inspirational because it kind of gives me a feel for what the next season for track is going to be like. So it's really exciting to have a bit of success on the cross country side, it's mostly an indication to get me prepared for track, I think. But of course I love cross country too but it's pretty much the second way to get ready."
GH: How difficult is the transition from running middle distances to running a cross-country race?
AM: "To me they are pretty much two different sports actually because when you're on the track you run in circles you run a short race and the mentality is just totally different. Running cross-country is more long-term, you know, just getting the mileage in. They are totally different workouts, and an entirely different mentality. Well, maybe not a different mentality but definitely a different thought process. Distance makes you tougher, you have to have endurance and be able to stay out in races longer. They compliment each other, but are definitely different in my opinion."
GH: With that being said, how is the team aspect different between those two sports? Everyone in cross country is doing the same thing, is it easier to build around one team and one goal that way?
AM: "Yeah, I would consider cross country more a close-knit, team-oriented sport because we see each other every day, we aren't all spread out running and jumping and throwing across the whole track & field arena. So as far as achieving goals it's much more realistic in cross country because we're all trying to achieve the same thing, we're all trying to be within a certain distance from each other. Goals are very similar for cross-country, then in track it's a little bit more individualized but of course you want to score a lot of points for the team. When someone says, `Oh, I threw 45-feet,' you kind of ask yourself, `what does that mean?' I think it's a little more team-oriented in cross country because even in track the cross country people stick together because we already had that fall season together."
GH: Coming into the Regional, into one of the toughest regions, and the NCAA is following that, what do you expect from the group right now?
AM: "Well, the way we've been going, we've been building a lot of momentum as the coaches have been saying. I think if we went into this meet and placed fourth or fifth, we'd get the job done, but really we think we could contend for 2nd or 3rd if we get it together and everyone continues doing their thing. I think we have pretty high hopes. Then Nationals, we're right up there with the top teams, I wouldn't be surprised if we were in the top-five if everyone stays healthy and runs like they can. I'm very excited to go from not even making it in the past few years, to placing with the top teams nationally. It's just awesome to see those goals finally come to reality."
GH: Thanks a lot and good luck on Saturday.
AM: "Thanks."

The first thing the Oakland Raiders should fix for the 2014 off-season is the quarterback position. Yes, this problem has to be addressed first because the quarterback is the leader of a team, and that is exactly what the Raiders need.
Sure, there are plenty of positions that need to be fixed in the Silver and Black roster, but the quarterback is the most important one. The Raiders current QBs showed some promises this past season, but also showed some inconsistency that cannot be accepted.
Terrelle Pryor showed leadership and athleticism, but failed to make passing touchdowns which eventually led to a complete shut down. His leadership withered away eventually as well.
Matthew McGloin came in strong against the Houston Texans in week 10, but failed to get more wins after that.
Many will say that the Raiders lacked receivers, and this could be absolutely true, but, in the end, the quarterback has to make things happen. Guess what, it didn't happen with Pryor or McGloin.
Pryor also had three years with the Raiders and, when given the chance to shine, his wick ran out quick. As for McGloin, it's sad, but the kid might have to stay on board as a back up or simply go.
In the end, the Oakland Raiders need a new quarterback. Now that the Raiders have a first round pick, they should take advantage of it.
The team is fairly new, so build around the new quarterback, one that can pass and make touchdowns. Why not! The Oakland Raiders took a huge chance with new faces, so why not bring in a new face for the QB position!

Baseball Splits Double Header Versus Milwaukee on Saturday
March 23, 2013
CHICAGO - The UIC baseball team (8-11, 3-3 HL) split a double header with Horizon League-foe Milwaukee on Saturday afternoon as the Flames won the series finale in dramatic fashion by a final score of 6-5. Centerfielder Tyler Detmer threw out UWM's Barwick at home plate off a pin-point one-hop toss from the outfield to end the game and avoid extra innings. Despite the win, UIC fell in Saturday's opener, 10-0, as the Panthers claimed the series victory.
Freshman Ian Lewandowski picked up his first collegiate win in the series finale as he threw 2.2 innings and gave up just two hits.
"Although I don't like the fact that we lost the series at home, picking up game three was big for us," said head coach Mike Dee. "Tyler (Detmer) made a tremendous throw and Alex (Jurich) made a great play at the plate and it was a great way to win the game. Hopefully that will give us some momentum going into next week. I thought Joey (Begel) pitched really well, but we didn't give him solid defense so that will be a point of emphasis next week."
The Flames dug themselves an early hole in game one, giving up eight runs after four innings. A pair of fielding miscues allowed the Panthers to send five unearned runs across the dish, including a three-run homer by UWM's Mitch Ghelfi in the third frame. UIC struggled at the plate as Panther starter Cale Tassi tossed seven shutout innings, allowing just five hits while fanning six batters.
Game two was a different story as the Flames lit up the scoreboard first with five runs in the first three innings. Redshirt junior Ryan Boss kicked things in the second frame with a solo homer to give UIC the 1-0 lead.
In the third, Jacob McNamara reached first on a walk and Detmer advanced him to second on an infield single. Alex De LaRosa laid down a sac bunt which pushed the runners up one bag before Alex Grunenwald forced McNamara home on a single to center field. Boss then drilled a ground-rule double to score Detmer to extend UIC's lead to 3-0. Joe Betcher made it 5-0 with his two-RBI single to right field, scoring Grunenwald and Boss.
The Panthers fought their way back into the game with two runs in the fourth and three runs in the seventh to knot the score at 5-5.
It was in the bottom of the eighth where UIC scored the game-winning run. With Betcher on first and Boss on third, Betcher made a move toward second base which baited the UWM pitcher to commit and Boss was able to scamper across home plate, giving the Flames the 6-5 triumph.
UIC will be back in action on Tuesday at home against Edgewood College with first pitch set for 2:05 p.m. CT.

Bob Lutz Thinks Chevy Should Build a Mid-Engine Corvette
From a business perspective, a mid-engine Corvette just makes sense. Bob Lutz certainly seems to think so, and he offers up a pretty good argument on why Chevy needs to build the car.

What information is represented on the population distribution maps?
How did World War II affect Japanese Americans?
By 1940, people from many different ethnic and racial groups made their home in California. A set of maps show the distribution of racial and national groups in the greater Los Angeles area, based on the 1940 US census. Asian groups listed include Japanese, Filipino, and "foreign born from Asia." A news photo taken shortly before Pearl Harbor shows a diverse group of chefs at a Los Angeles restaurant — a Filipino, a Japanese American, and a Chinese American. According to the caption, "And they get along too."
As the century progressed, Japanese Americans became established in industries related to growing and selling produce and flowers. By the time of the US entry into World War II, these industries were thriving, and many Japanese Americans had entered the middle class.
After the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, however, the federal government rounded up and relocated 120,000 Californians of Japanese descent in the name of national security. Dorothea Lange took the photograph of farm families boarding an evacuation bus in Centerville, carrying parcels (evacuees were only allowed to take what possessions they could carry). Two-thirds of the Japanese Americans were actually American born, and thus citizens. Most were incarcerated in 10 remote and guarded "relocation camps" for more than two years, despite never being convicted — or even formally accused — of a crime. Conditions were bleak in the camps: a photograph shows a man resting on a cot after moving his possessions into a cramped room; and a painting by internee artist Estelle Ishigo portrays a family at home in the camps. To prove their loyalty and patriotism, many men joined the segregated all-Japanese American 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the most decorated military unit in American history. See more images of Japanese American internment.
Chinese Americans were well aware of the virulent racism made worse by war with Japan. As the photograph illustrates, some wore buttons that read "I am Chinese" to distinguish themselves from Japanese. Given China's ally status, Chinese Americans suffered less discrimination than Japanese. Many Chinese joined the military. A photograph of Chinatown's American Legion post shows veterans of World Wars I and II. Like other American women during the war-based labor shortage, Chinese American women worked on the home front — illustrated here by a woman on a construction site.
In 1943, Congress passed the Magnuson Act, which repealed the Chinese Exclusion Act. The reasons were twofold: the United States sought out China as an ally during WWII, and also sought to deflect Japanese propaganda in Asia that called the United States a racist country for its exclusionary and segregationist practices. Due to provisions of the Magnuson Act and a later War Brides Act, Chinese Americans were able to bring wives to America, beginning a new generation.
Approximately 250,000 Filipino men joined the US armed forces to fight in World War II. Anacieto Soriano, Sr. (at right) and his friend are shown wearing their 1st Filipino Infantry Regiment uniforms. But after the war, President Truman signed the Recission Act of 1946, effectively erasing their service records and denying them military benefits. Many of these California veterans live in near poverty today. As of mid-2007, S. 57, The Filipino Veterans Equity Act of 2007, has not been voted on.
Upon release at the end of the war, many Japanese Americans found themselves destitute, stripped of their homes, possessions, and businesses, forced to begin again to build lives in the United States.
Recognizing the injustice of the relocation campaigns, the US Congress made partial reparations to Japanese Americans in 1948. Years later, after intense lobbying by community activists, Congress passed the 1988 Civil Liberties Act. It mandated a formal apology, $20,000 compensation for former internees, and the creation of a fund to educate the public about the camps and the unconstitutional nature of the internment. But the stigma of being labeled national enemies simply because of their race lingered among many second-generation Japanese Americans.
Although life may have improved for some Filipinos following their service during WWII, many remained in a world of migrant labor. However, many Filipinos unionized following the war and became active in the United Farm Workers. Philip Vera Cruz, for example, was a part of the UFW leadership along with Mexican Americans Césár Chavez and Dolores Huerta.California Content Standards

Sociology, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: academic hotel
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? For increased flexibility and independence.
Personal comments:
My experiences do not reflect the general housing policy of the university because these strict requirements only apply to American students.
This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Havana is an incredible city! Don't miss Casa de la Musica for dancing or Las Mercedes for a great meal.
This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Because the Cuban students do not have many choices for their specific courses, class schedules change frequently. It's helpful to take as many classes as possibly with the same group of students.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Increased course choices would be an improvement.

Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Spanish
How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
Improving my language skills was a crucial and worthwhile part of my experience.

Other sources of funding:
Personal savings
Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits:
With residence and student identity cards, I was able to take advantage of both the peso and dollar economic systems. This allowed me to be extremely economical in my expenses.
Nightlife: was the same price as at home.
Food, Travel, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Daily expenses get much cheaper as you discover what can be paid for in pesos and what requires dollars. Get advice on these items before you go so you won't be taken advantage of.

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
The more preparation you do, the better off you will be--but your experience will be full of surprises no matter what!

Personal recommendation:
Being at the University of Havana was wonderful but challenging. Be sure you know what you are getting into and are committed to facing that challenge.
Studying in Cuba was an incredible experience. I recommend it to anyone with a strong interest (especially an academic interest) to the peculiarities of the nation.

Hotbarrel, do you have an barrel adapters for the 14 mm left hand to the 24 mm for the 74 style brake for a x39?
sorry but I do not have the 24mm die. how many are you looking for? 1 I assume.
Hotbarrel - I got side tracked with my work so I've been of the board for a few weeks. Still working on these ? Thanks.
Hotbarrel, I know it's been a while but if you still have a Yugo RPK cleaning rod for sale I'm interested. Thanks!
Hotbarrel move to an island in the south pacific, he didn't take any of his tools with him, and he also hasn't posted for a while.
If you only need it for look (non-functional), you can use an SKS or Mosin rod, but I think these need to be cut down too.
Don't know about the SKS rod, but the Mosin rod is too large in diameter to fit most AK type rifles.
Thanks for the replies. I actually have a cleaning rod from a Polish RPD that I cut down to 20 5/8" so it fits but isn't functional. I got a 4mm x .7 RH die to try and re-thread it but it doesn't like the tempered steel and won't catch. I probably could take it to a machine shop and have them do it but the purist in me would sleep better at night knowing I have a rod made for the rifle.
