On this day in 1939, The Wizard of Oz, which will become one of the best-loved movies in history, opens in theaters around the United States.
The film was previewed in three test markets: on August 11, 1939, at Kenosha, Wisconsin and Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and at the Strand Theatre in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin on August 12.
The Hollywood premiere was on August 15, 1939, at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The New York City premiere at Loew's Capitol Theatre on August 17, 1939 was followed by a live performance with Judy Garland and her frequent film co-star Mickey Rooney. They would continue to perform there after each screening for a week, extended in Rooney's case for a second week and in Garland's to three (with Oz co-stars Ray Bolger and Bert Lahr replacing Rooney for the third and final week). The movie opened nationally on August 25, 1939.
The film grossed approximately $3 million (approximately $50 million today) against production/distribution costs of $2.8 million (approximately $47 million today) in its initial release. It did not show what MGM considered a large profit until a 1949 re-release earned an additional $1.5 million (approximately $15 million today).
Although the film received largely positive reviews, it was not a huge box office success on its initial release, earning only $3,017,000 on a $2,000,000 budget. The film, MGM's most expensive production up to that time, failed to recoup the studio's investment. Subsequent re-releases made up for that, however.
Telecasts of the film began in 1956, re-introducing the film to the public and eventually becoming an annual tradition, making it one of the most famous films ever made.
It was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It lost that award to Gone with the Wind, but won two others, including Best Original Song for "Over the Rainbow". The film was named the most-watched motion picture in history by the Library of Congress, is often ranked among the Top 10 Best Movies of All Time in various critics' and popular polls, and is the source of many memorable quotes referenced in modern popular culture.
Here's something you may not know: this version of the movie was in fact not the first. There were other versions of the movie already made, and a stage play.

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
From Tony Hsieh to Amy Chua to Jeremy Lin, Chinese Americans are now arriving at the highest levels of American business, civic life, and culture. But what makes this story of immigrant ascent unique is that Chinese Americans are emerging at just the same moment when China has emerged - and indeed may displace America - at the center of the global scene. What does it mean to be Chinese American in this moment? And how does exploring that question alter our notions of just what an American is and will be?
In many ways, Chinese Americans today are exemplars of the American Dream: during a crowded century and a half, this community has gone from indentured servitude, second-class status and outright exclusion to economic and social integration and achievement. But this narrative obscures too much: the Chinese Americans still left behind, the erosion of the American Dream in general, the emergence perhaps of a Chinese Dream, and how other Americans will look at their countrymen of Chinese descent if China and America ever become adversaries. As Chinese Americans reconcile competing beliefs about what constitutes success, virtue, power, and purpose, they hold a mirror up to their country in a time of deep flux.
In searching, often personal essays that range from the meaning of Confucius to the role of Chinese Americans in shaping how we read the Constitution to why he hates the hyphen in "Chinese-American," Eric Liu pieces together a sense of the Chinese American identity in these auspicious years for both countries. He considers his own public career in American media and government; his daughter's efforts to hold and release aspects of her Chinese inheritance; and the still-recent history that made anyone Chinese in America seem foreign and disloyal until proven otherwise. Provocative, often playful but always thoughtful, Liu breaks down his vast subject into bite-sized chunks, along the way providing insights into universal matters: identity, nationalism, family, and more.

LOS ANGELES – Aaron Hester speaks in a certain tone when he's frustrated. He shakes his head and he sighs a big sigh. He is a cornerback.
Sorry, the emotions just pour out, uncontrollably, even if that's not the intention.
This time, there is no sigh.
"I feel like for the first time in a long time, I'm myself again," he said, loose, confident, smiling.
New defensive backs coach Demetrice Martin has brought some swagger from Washington, where he coached the DBs for three years for Steve Sarkisian.
He has breathed new life into Hester and Sheldon Price, UCLA's long-time starting cornerback duo.
Most important, he has brought press coverage, utilizing every inch of Price's 6-foot-3 frame and Hester's 6-2 build.
"This was our plan from the get-go," Martin said. "They bought right in. I haven't seen the other way, so it's hard for me to say the light has switched on for them.
"From day one, since we started implementing the defense, these guys have had that natural body language, the attitude you want bump-and-run corners to have."
In a word, swagger, something that has been sorely missing from the duo for quite a while.
Hampered by the passive style of the previous regime, which often called for the cornerbacks to be 8-10 yards off the ball, Price and Hester felt stifled, unnatural. Worse, they felt ... quiet. These are cornerbacks to the purest level, chatty, feisty, fiery. Unable to jam, they were unable to jabber, losing their edge. The swagger, gone.
It's back.
"The confidence we're playing with is unreal," Price said. "You can see it in the both of us. We love pressing, we love being in their face, and with Martin behind us in our ears, 'That wasn't good enough; you looked him up, but you messed up your feet,' it's great. It's getting our game right."
UCLA will scrimmage in earnest for the first time Saturday and the players, particularly the quarterbacks, are looking at it as an opportune time to make an impression.
"We all understand we don't have much room for error," senior Kevin Prince said.
"We're with all new coaches and we want to make a good first impression. These are the kind of situations we're going to be put in games."
Senior wide receiver Jerry Johnson returned to practice but sophomore Wade Yandall missed because of neck stiffness. ...
Walk-on cornerback Librado Baracio, who has received praise from the coaching staff for his dogged determination and work ethic, suffered a torn knee ligament and will require surgery.

Police in Hartford, Conn. released a report on April 18 stating that the Connecticut grandmother that shot and killed her two young grandsons before killing herself last year, left a chilling and vengeful note to the parents of her grandchildren saying that the couple "did not deserve to have the children." The murderous grandma, 47-year-old Debra Denison, picked up her two grandchildren from their North Stonington daycare center on Feb. 26, 2013, and was supposed to take 2-year-old Alton Perry and 6-month-old Ashton Perry to a birthday party.
Instead, the grandmother disappeared with the children which sparked an Amber Alert, according to USA Today. Following a frantic search on that February winter's day, the grandmother's van was found hours later at a nearby lake. Dead were the two young children who suffered gunshot wounds from Denison's revolver. Police also determined that Denison took her own life with a gunshot wound to her head.
The police report released yesterday also provided a hint of a motive for the murder-suicide as perhaps being mental illness on the part of Denison. Turns out, the grandmother had six unsuccessful and prior suicide attempts, plus a history of conflict with her grandchildren's mother.
The grandchildren's mother is Brenda Perry, who is Denison's daughter. The note left for Perry and her husband, Jeremy Perry, stated in part, "among other things that Brenda and Jeremy did not deserve to have the children and Debra wanted them to feel the loss of a child," according to state police Detective David Lamoureux.
The Associated Press reported that Denison's daughter said that Denison's mental health issues included problems with self-control, dissociative identity disorder, and that Denison had "told Jeremy lies about her [Brenda Perry] in attempts to break up their relationship and she became more easily agitated after they married and had children."
Even with all the history of conflict between Denison and her 24-year-old daughter, Perry said that prior to her mother's murder-suicide, Perry tried making peace with her mother. Months before the killings, Perry said that her mother was behaving in a more stable manner and that the two were planning on going to counseling together.
Following the release of that report yesterday, the Connecticut State Police announced that the Denison murder-suicide case is now closed with no further investigation expected. For more on the tragic killings of Denison and her two young grandchildren, see the video accompanying this article.

text: 09 March 2011 archive See all show photos WHATEVER Elie Saab's woman is up to next season, she's going to look chic, refined and ladylike in the process. The third to last show on the last day of Paris Fashion Week belonged to the Lebanese designer whose penchant for red carpet dresses was kept relatively restrained today. It was a show that, fittingly, seemed to tick a good handful of trend boxes we've been accustomed to seeing over the last four weeks. So, we had fur in there (on shoulders and lapels of neat black daywear ensembles), and we had red (on slit-to-the-thigh dresses and belted svelte dresses beaded and draped, twisted and pleated), and a mix-and-match of textures – which we saw at every fashion capital and at almost every show. When it wasn't red, it was burgundy – again tapping into the season's trends for boozy shades – and when it wasn't neat and polished for going to work, it was glamorous and polished for a twirl down that red carpet. We had the usual suspects in gowns of silver sequin beads and others in cascades of berry shades – they came strapless and with a shimmer over the hip, something which was repeated in a much less dramatic way on the pencil skirts we had seen earlier in the collection.

The people who die or whose lives are permanently destroyed because of drunk drivers don't care what his motive is. They're dead, or mindless vegetables in a hospital bed, permanently handicapped, or orphans because of his

If it keeps drunk drivers from killing more people, and serves as a deterrant for those who might consider driving after 'just having a few', why the hell not?

So? It doesn't mean he has to get behind the wheel and drive. There are other options--phoning a friend or beloved, getting a cab, etc., etc., etc. Want to get drunk? Fine. Want to drive drunk? I have zero sympathy for the SOBs who get caught and end up in jail. For far too long we 'looked the other way' and ignored drunk driving. We can't do that anymore, and if the only way to combat it is to put people in jail, then that's what has to be done. Also, driving is a privilege, not a right. You don't follow the rules for driving, guess what? You pay the penalties.

Some states have an ignition breatholyzer for those convicted of drunk driving in the past. They have to blow into it, and if they're over the limit, the car won't start. Obviously it's not fool proof, but if it helps keep drunk drivers off the road, then so be it.

At least that's 10 years (or whatever length of time the courts decide) where he's not on the road.

Bar him from being able to own or drive a car forever if he's a repeat offender. I never argued that he shouldn't be let out of prison--that's your leap in the argument, not mine.

Great! Make it less likely for him to destroy other people! At least we're trying to do
to prevent him from harming more people.
Let me tell you why this is important to me.
When I was in college, I had a soft spot in my heart for all alcoholics. My dad is a recovered alcoholic. It's a terrible disease, and I've seen it destroy classmates, friends, and a few loved ones. I didn't think drunk drivers should be penalized harshly because after all, alcoholism is a disease, and the disease needs to be treated. One day, I walked into the pediatric ICU at Children's hospital, where I worked part time while I went to doctor school. There were Amish all over the place, looking very scared and sad. That's not necessarily uncommon because Children's Hospital in Columbus, OH is the referral center for all of OH, and there are several Amish communities within several hours. What was surprising to me was the number of them. There were 2 young Amish girls on respirators that day in the ICU. Both had had emergency surgery overnight. One was expected to survive, but would need massive medical care for months. The other girl was in such a critical state they didn't know if she'd make it or not, and her head injuries were so massive she was unlikely to ever have anything resembling a normal live again.
They were victims of a drunk driver vs. Amish buggy accident. The driver was speeding 65 mph in a 25 zone, through a large Amish community. He was familiar with the area and knew there were frequently Amish buggies in the area. He hit a buggy and killed the father, 2 other children, and the mother, who was 5 months pregnant, nearly instantly. The driver walked away from the crash. He refused the breatholyzer at the scene because he'd been arrested for drunk driving before and knew how to get around the system. The Ohio police arrested him and had to get a court order for a blood test. He was still over the legal limit at the time they drew his blood, and it was estimated that at the time of the crash he was over 3 times beyond the legal limit (which was more generous 15 years ago than it is now). He was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter of 5 people and lesser crimes for the severe injuries to the 2 surviving girls and sent to jail.
If he had paid a heftier penalty for his first offenses, he might not have had that car that obliterated that family. If he had been put into jail and detox, and got sobered up enough to get appropriate help for his alcohol problem, it might not have happened. If some friends had driven him home from the bar that night, it wouldn't have happened. If he had called a cab, it wouldn't have happened. I still have sympathy for alcoholics, because I know what a horrible disease it is to fight. However, I have no sympathy for them when they make the choice to get in the car and drive drunk. We're taught the penalties of driving drunk when we go for our driver's licenses--the book you have to study to get your license has that information in it. Furthermore, ignorance of the law (or impairment to the point of ignoring the law at the time) is no excuse. The laws of driving apply whether you're impaired or not. If you have to stop and wonder if you should be driving or not, then you probably shouldn't be driving. In this case, the guy just didn't care that he was drunk, he decided he was going to drive that way anyway, in violation of the law. He got the jail time he deserved. There is
excuse for ever driving drunk, and there is
excuse for complaining about the penalties if one gets caught.

Hit-and-run victim was daughter of Citizen managing editor
Public memorial service planned for Friday at 3 pm
The daughter of Henrico Citizen Managing Editor Patty Kruszewski was the victim of a fatal hit-and-run incident on River Road in Richmond near the University of Richmond late Sunday night.
Lanie Kruszewski, 24, was riding her bicycle east on River Road near Bridgeway Road, when she was struck by a motorist who apparently was traveling the same direction, according to Richmond Police. She died at the scene.
Police believe the vehicle that struck Kruszewski may have been a Jeep Cherokee or Dodge Durango. It may have damage to the front passenger side area, including its headlight and side mirrors or window, police said.
Kruszweski was a 2006 graduate of the Maggie L. Walker's Governor School in Richmond and a 2011 graduate of James Madison University.
Anyone with information about this incident should call Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000 or text Crime Stoppers at 274637 using the word "iTip" followed by a tip. Both options are anonymous. Tips may also be made to the Richmond Police Hit and Run Unit by calling (804) 646-1369.
A public memorial service will be held at 3 p.m., Friday, Aug. 3, in the the Maggie L. Walker Governor's School commons.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Kruszewski's name to:
• the Maggie L. Walker Governor's School Foundation, which supports the school;
• the Virginia Bicycling Federation, a safety and advocacy group that seeks to improve cycling conditions statewide;
• Brain Food, a Washington, D.C. organization that teachers high-schoolers about food, nutrition, cooking, and jobs in the food industry.
Patty Kruszewski recently wrote a column about Title IX's 40th anniversary, in which she described a number of Lanie's experiences as a student, athlete and young adult and explained how the law helped open doors for her and millions of other young women; read it here.
A Facebook page in Lanie's memory has been established here: https://www.facebook.com/InMemoryOfLanieKruszewski.

11/16/2012 - GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has agreed to pay $90 million to settle claims filed by state attorney generals in 38 states for illegally marketing the diabetes drug, Avandia. The lawsuits allege GSK misrepresented Avandia's safety and misled consumers about whether the drug caused heart attack, stroke and congestive heart failure in order to skyrocket sales.
Avandia lawsuits are no surprise to GSK. In July 2012 GSK agreed to the largest-ever U.S. settlement involving healthcare fraud, paying $3 billion to settle criminal and civil claims that it failed to provide regulators with information regarding the risk of heart attack, stroke and congestive heart failure associated with Avandia.
Unfortunately these settlements of the criminal claims come a little too late for those who have suffered cardiac events as a result of Avandia and are now subjects of pending civil claims. In fact, looking at a timeline of Avandia events calls to question the trust that consumers can have in big pharma companies like GSK.
In 1999, the FDA approved Avandia for regulating blood sugar in people with diabetes. In 2001 GSK begins a six-ear study (RECORD) of Avandia and later reports that the study showed no heart risks. In June 2007 , Dr. Steven Nissen, chief cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic, published in the New England Journal of Medicine his analysis of Avandia clinical trials, stating that Avandia increases the risk of heart attack by 43 percent. In December 2007, after reviewing Dr. Nissen's analysis, the FDA required a stronger warning label on Avandia warning of the risk of heart failure. In November 2008 Archives of Internal Medicine publishes a study revealing that Avandia patients were 15% more likely to die and 13% more likely to suffer congestive heart failure than patients taking competitor diabetes drug, Actos. In February 2010, the Senate Finance Committee accuses GSK of knowing of the cardiac risk and hiding the related data to promote sales. In June 2010, The Journal of American Medicine Association and the Archives of Internal Medicine publish separate studies concluding Avandia should be taken off the market.
Denying the adverse cardiac events caused by Avandia was simply a delay tactic by GSK so that it could continue to generate Avandia sales. Considering the deceit, these settlement amounts are a drop in the bucket for GSK when Avandia, formerly a blockbuster drug for GSK, generated $2.5 billion in annual sales in 2006 alone.

It might be weird but I would like to point out:
What means to be "building your own saber" ??
Surely it does not mean by smite your metal out of mineral ore and creat your battery pack by hand and....
Yes, I would like to point out that maybe the "shells" of sabers are pre-made, or at least, a bunch of ready mde parts are available for the more "common" and non complicated parts. You maybe there is already a huge collection of hilt parts, grips, on/off/reset buttons, streamers and what not for building sabers, along with a bunch of different pre-made tit-bits for the construction work.
So obviously there would be sabers with similar hilts, maybe they just happens to be built from Hilt style B-A01, with Ziggy Series grip, Tamiya switches and Wave on/off lights. Just the same combination from the more available parts really. Not everyone would use a Rancor tooth as the "start button" of your weapon.
Maybe this sounds funny, but as we know it there is quite some daman for sabers, training or not. And we do know sabers do subject to wear and tear. So it would be reasonable for jedis to mass produce the common parts in some way, and you don't need to be force sensitive to build things like wires and grips.
Sure the delicate parts like the crystal calibration would be left to individual jedis, but those would not affect the look of the saber too much, as we know it most sabers would be blue or green... or yellow for faded ones, due to crystals. And I won't be surprised that jedis would forbid the use of red sabers, and discourage colorful ones.
"oh master, if shaft can have a purple pimpstick with BMF on it why can't I have the pink one with the Gucci grip and purple streamers and that extra lipstick dispenser?"

Just purchased some VPS hosting and am getting setup to get my startup app underway. For the moment I'm playing sysadmin and am running into errors galore whilst trying to work out the kinks.
So I was wondering what the best solution (if any?) there is to receiving notice of mission critical errors whilst away from my desk? ie. sleeping.

Supermodel Doutzen Kroes was recently spotted doing a Victoria's Secret catalog shoot in Grand Central Station in NYC. (It's a minor miracle that they were able to find an empty corner to set up in this tourist-ridden locale.) At first glance, we thought Doutzen was wearing Manolo Blahnik BBs, but upon closer inspection, they're likely the Victoria's Secret VS Collection Pointed Toe Pumps, which are a pretty close BB doppelganger. These VS pumps are available in patent leather, calfhair and suede, and will only set you back $98-$108 at Victoria's Secret.
That price is, of course, roughly $500 less than the real deal Holyfield – good news if you'll happily sacrifice a designer name for the right look and style. These pumps are pretty convincing Manolo knock-offs, but I'd like to know – do you have a fave pair of designer look-a-likes? And if so, who made them? Can you be swayed from your favorite designers for the right price?

Are all homology spheres compact? Are all generalized homology spheres compact? By a homology sphere I mean an $n$-manifold $X$ with same homology as the $n$-sphere. By a generalized homology sphere I mean the same with the assumption "$n$-manifold" replaced by "homology $n$-manifold".
If that helps, assume further that the spaces under consideration are simply connected.

"On this date" in New Orleans Saints history - Aug. 29 - a spotlight on the Saints to start your day:
1939--The Southern Baseball Association has a meeting in Memphis, Tenn., where media reports have some of its teams agree to start a fall Southern Pro Football League. A New Orleans franchise doesn't pan out.
1970--Saints win their first-ever preseason game played in Mississippi, 26-20, over the Boston Patriots in Jackson. Coach Tom Fears told sportscaster Buddy Diliberto before the game he didn't think he'd last the entire season. Sure enough, Fears was fired halfway through the regular season.
1973--Saints and new coach John North trade defensive end Dave Long to the Buffalo Bills for an undisclosed draft choice.
1980--Saints close out the preseason with a 20-0 loss at the Miami Dolphins to go 1-3. Saints punter Russell Erxleben got a standing ovation when he kicked a punt so high that it hit the Superdome Gondola screens.
1981--Saints close out preseason with a 20-17 overtime win over the Detroit Lions in the Superdome on a Benny Ricardo field goal.
1987--Saints defeat the Steelers in home preseason action, 31-28.
2005--Hurricane Katrina hits the northern Gulf region; the Saints left one day earlier to practice & stay in San Jose, Calif., before playing a preseason game Sept. 1 in Oakland The team eventually shifts operations to San Antonio, Texas, and remains based there for the season.
2009--Saints defeat the Raiders, 45-7, in preseason action.
2013--Saints lose at Miami, 24-21, to finish the preseason 3-1. Guard Tim Lelito scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery in end zone.
Today's birthdays:
Johnnie Poe--age 55 (Cornerback 1981-87)
Jermane Newberry--age 41 (Tackle 2005)
Kevin Kaesviharn--age 38 (Safety 2007-08)

Holy crap, Nashville just got screwed with that no-goal. Looks like they're getting some help to make up for it, with the 5-on-3s.
Posted April 18, 2006 - 08:15 PM
Well, Kariya can't bitch anymore since the 5-on-3s (and their associated goals) wouldn't have happened if his first goal had counted. Something tells me the Preds would prefer a 2-1 lead to a 1-1 tie.

Well this game was complete crap! I know that we wern't concerned since we have the NHL on lockdown, but at the same time let's not embarrass ourselves either. I guess since it has been over a month since we had an upset we were due. So better to get it out of the way now, Did I mention that I really hate Paul Kariya? I am not ready for the season to be over so we really need to bring it together and go out on top. We owe that much to Stevie

Dick Cheney accidentally shot someone when hunting back a few years ago. Now in a new incident, Dick Cheney's gun malfunctioned during antelope hunting.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney's gun malfunctioned before he could get a shot off at an antelope hunting contest in Wyoming on Sunday, according to a local ABC News affiliate.
"The Vice President is an excellent shot," the captain of Cheney's hunting team said. "He had a gun malfunction. But I think he is so excited and enjoyed this so much. He'll be back next year."
Cheney blamed "a small problem with the manufacturer."

Ravens rally, stun Broncos on Justin Tucker's FG in double overtime
DENVER -- Welcome to NFL immortality, Joe Flacco.
Somewhere up there in the all-time playoff archives near the "Hail Mary" by Roger Staubach and the "Immaculate Reception" by Franco Harris now lives the "Flacco Fling" by the Baltimore Ravens quarterback.

After their improbable win against the Broncos in Denver on Saturday, the Ravens are proving to be a team of destiny, writes Jamison Hensley. Blog

• Reiss: Patriots' perspective
• Stats & Info: Ravens use deep ball
One big throw down the sideline, 70 make-or-break yards on a wing and a prayer -- a high, arcing touchdown pass that soared through the icy air, flew over two defenders, landed in the hands of Jacoby Jones, saved the game for Baltimore and kept Ray Lewis' 17-year career going at least one more week.
The record will show Justin Tucker kicked a 47-yard field goal 1:42 into the second overtime Saturday to give the Ravens a 38-35 victory over Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. The highlight? That would be Flacco's game-tying touchdown to Jones on third-and-3 from the 30 with 31 seconds left in regulation and no timeouts.
"At that point," Flacco said, "you have to start taking shots. You have to get a little lucky."
And while Flacco gets to celebrate that throw, Manning will have a long offseason to think about a really bad one.
On Denver's second possession of overtime, he stopped and threw across his body to the middle of the field and into the arms of Ravens cornerback Corey Graham at Denver's 45. Baltimore (12-6) ran five plays and gained 16 yards before Tucker sailed his winning kick down the middle.
The Manning throw, intended for Brandon Stokley, was one quarterbacks from junior high to the pros are advised not to make. It's a throw that unraveled all the good Manning has accomplished during this, his comeback season from neck surgery during which he threw for 37 touchdowns and led the Broncos (13-4) to top seeding in the AFC.
"Yeah, bad throw," Manning said. "Probably the decision wasn't great, either. I thought I had an opening, and I didn't get enough on it, and I was trying to make a play and certainly a throw I'd like to have back."
Lewis, who led the Ravens with 17 tackles over this nearly 77-minute game in 13-degree weather, kneeled down to the ground and put his helmet on the rock-solid turf when it was over.
"I've never been a part of a game so crazy in my life," he said.
After he thaws out, the Ravens (12-6), 9½-point underdogs for this one, will get ready for a game at either New England or Houston, who meet Sunday for the other spot in the AFC title game.
This game, the longest since the Browns beat the New York Jets 23-20 in 1987, was an all-timer -- up there with San Diego's 41-38 double-overtime victory over Miami for drama. But Flacco's throw might best be bookended next to one made by Staubach, who famously coined the term "Hail Mary" after his game-winning toss to Drew Pearson beat Minnesota in the 1975 playoffs.
Staubach was near midfield when he threw his.
Flacco was standing around the 20 for his throw, buying time in the pocket when he saw Jones sprinting down the right sideline into double coverage.
Defensive back Tony Carter slowed up and let Jones streak by him. Instead of staying step for step with Jones, safety Rahim Moore tried to leap and knock down the ball. Flacco, who throws the high, deep ball as well as anyone, got it over Moore's head and into Jones' hands.
Marathon Men
Justin Tucker's game-winning field goal split the uprights with 13:18 remaining in the second overtime, marking the fourth-longest playoff game. Miami's win against San Diego in the 1971 divisional round still ranks as the longest playoff game.

"I started to step up in the pocket and I kept my eye on the safety's depth at that point," Flacco said. "Just felt I had a shot of maybe getting over him. At that point in the game, you don't have any timeouts. When you've got to go a pretty decent length, you've got to start taking shots at some point. It happened to work out."
Jones caught it and pranced into the end zone, blowing kisses toward the crowd.
"I was kissing to God. I was thanking the Lord," Jones said. "I don't disbelieve in myself. I've been believing in myself since I was born. Never no disbelief.
Moore was on the verge of tears after the game.
"The loss, it was my fault," Moore said. "I got a little too happy. It was pathetic. My fault. Next time, I'll make that play."
The teams were tied at 14 after the first quarter, 21 at halftime, 28 after three quarters and at 35-35 after regulation.
They punted three times to start overtime, the last of them setting up Denver on its 7-yard line.
Manning was moving the Broncos along slowly and steadily. But on second-and-6 from the 38, he rolled to his right, stopped, planted and threw across the field. Graham stepped in front of the receiver for the interception, which he returned 39 yards for a touchdown and a 14-7 lead. He also had a first-quarter interception.
The temperature at kickoff was 13 degrees, and Manning, wearing an orange-and-gray glove to get more feel in the icy weather, fell to 0-4 lifetime in playoff games when the temperature is 40 or less. He finished 28 of 43 for 290 yards and accounted for all three Denver turnovers -- the two picks and a lost fumble that set up the touchdown that tied the game at 28 late in the third quarter.
Combined, the mistakes nullified a record-setting day for returner Trindon Holliday, who returned a punt 90 yards for a touchdown and a kickoff 104 yards for another score. Both were playoff records for longest returns, as was the 248 total return yards he had.
All for naught.
This was, more or less, the unthinkable for the Broncos (13-4), who came in on an 11-game winning streak and the odds-on favorite, at 3-1, to win the Super Bowl, in Manning's hometown of New Orleans, no less.
Instead, this loss goes down with the most devastating in Denver history. Right there with the 30-27 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Jan. 4, 1997 -- another year when Denver looked very much like Super Bowl material.
"Certainly we did a lot of good things this season, but as of right now, it's hard to think about anything besides the loss tonight," Manning said.
Baltimore, meanwhile, will think about its second straight trip to the AFC title game.
Last year, Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal against New England that would have tied that game at the end of regulation.
This year, the Ravens had Tucker, and though the temperature was cold and the ball was hard, coach John Harbaugh showed zero desire to get the ball closer after Ray Rice ran for 11 yards to the Denver 34 near the end of the first overtime.
Tucker was making them from 67 yards in pre-game warmups and was practicing during the break between overtime periods.
"I always feel good when I go out on the field," he said. "Not many people get to do this. This is a heck of a lot of fun."
While he finished the day 1 for 1, Broncos kicker Matt Prater missed his only try, from 52 yards, when he hit the turf, then the ball, on an attempt at the end of the first half.
Broncos coach John Fox will be second-guessed about the decision to go for the long kick, especially considering the way Flacco responded: Throwing and completing three straight passes after the miss for a 58-yard touchdown drive that tied the game at 21 going into halftime.
The touchdown was a 32-yard connection to Torrey Smith, marking the second time Smith beat Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey. Smith also got behind the 12-time Pro Bowler for a 59-yard touchdown in the first quarter.
"The first one -- I lost it," Bailey said. "The second one, he just made a great play. I was in position, he made a good play. That's why he's in the league."
All part of an uncharacteristic day for the Broncos, who routed Baltimore on its home field, 34-17, less than a month ago.
But on this day, the coldest playoff game in Broncos history, these were different teams playing for different stakes.
Flacco finished with 331 yards and three touchdowns. Rice had 131 yards and a score. With Lewis manning the middle of the field, the Broncos offense didn't look like the well-oiled machine it had over the winning streak dating to a 35-24 comeback win over San Diego in October.
The Ravens, meanwhile, looked more like the team that began the season 9-2 instead of the one that finished it losing four of their last five. And boy did they and the Broncos put on a show.
"That football game," Harbaugh said, "did football proud."

Research Notes
From Elias: The Broncos entered the postseason having won 11 straight games, winning each game by 7 or more points. In the Super Bowl era, only two other teams had won 10+ straight games in a single regular season, the 2005 Colts and 1997 49ers. Both the 2012 Broncos and 2005 Colts were led by QB Peyton Manning and unfortunately both teams lost at home in the Divisional Playoffs by 3 points. Of the three teams, only the 49ers won in the Division Playoffs and but they didn't reach the Super Bowl after losing to the Packers in the NFC Championship.[+]

This is the 8th time Peyton Manning has lost his first start of the postseason, twice as many as any other QB in the Super Bowl era.[+]

While Joe Flacco found wide receivers for Baltimore's three scoring plays, Flacco was 6-of-9 for 84 yards targeting tight ends, including five first downs. Flacco threw for first downs on 5-of-9 targets to Dennis Pitta or Ed Dickson (55.6 percent), while all other receivers converted 9-of-25 targets (36.0 percent). Denver's defense allowed 50 first downs by tight ends during the regular season, and only the Redskins (60) and Saints (53) allowed more.
NEXT LEVEL: Ray Rice became only the second player this season with 100 rush yards and a touchdown against the Broncos. He is the first player since Stevan Ridley did it Week 5 for the Patriots, Denver's last loss before an 11-game winning streak heading into Saturday. Rice finished with 94 yards and a touchdown on 24 rushes between the tackles, most in a game against the Broncos this year. Denver led the NFL with 3.52 yards per rush allowed inside the tackles during the regular season.
Peyton Manning was intercepted by Corey Graham with 1:01 remaining in the first overtime, Manning's (and Graham's) second of the game and the turnover that eventually led to Justin Tucker's game-winning 47-yard field goal. The interception was Manning's first on a throw outside the pocket this season (30 attempts), and was indicative of the struggles Manning had on shorter throws all game.
Peyton Manning dropped back to pass 22 times in the first half Saturday and wasn't sacked or put under duress on any. In the second half, Manning had 24 dropbacks and was pressured 10 times (41.7 percent). The pressure led to two turnovers, including the interception in overtime that set up the Ravens' game-winning field goal. Manning was never pressured on more than 28.0 percent of his dropbacks in any half this season. Manning was sacked or put under duress 14.2 percent of the time in the regular season, the lowest rate for any quarterback.[+]

The Ravens trailed by 7 points with 0:41 remaining in regulation, facing a third-and-3 from their 30-yard line when Joe Flacco hit Jacoby Jones for a 70-yard touchdown pass to tie the game and force overtime. According to ESPN Stats and Information's win probability model, Denver had a 97.2 percent chance of winning the game before the Jones touchdown.
Joe Flacco's average target depth was 13.4 yards downfield in the Divisional Playoffs, his highest rate in a game all season. Flacco's 6.6 yard average target depth in Week 15 against the Broncos was his second lowest of the season.
Joe Flacco was 4-of-7 with three touchdowns on throws more than 20 yards downfield in the AFC Divisional Playoffs. The three touchdowns on those throws were Flacco's most in a game in his career and tied the most for any quarterback in a game since the start of 2008. The Broncos had allowed three such touchdowns all season. Torrey Smith had two touchdown receptions on throws more than 20 yards downfield Saturday. Only three receivers had multiple touchdown games on those throws this season.[+]

XCode 1.5 comes with an improved code completion system called CodeSense. CodeSense works great with Java and Objective C but, by default, some frameworks aren't indexed, so code completion doesn't work for them.
Apple explains on the XCode release notes how to enable CodeSense for these frameworks and provide a shell script that enables all of them. Unfortunately, I'm lazy and I wanted to test Cocoa bindings with an application... So now you can do that with a GUI!

Overwhelmed By Choices In Life Insurance? Check Out These Tips Before You Decide
But sadly, many of them are wrong and it is their family that pays the price for that mistake. The below article can provide some tips to help you determine the type of life insurance you require and where you can find it. You will find your mind rests easy when you know that your loved ones are well provided for.
Hire an agent that is trustworthy. You will be interacting with this person for the entire remaining period of your life, as your loved ones will be following your passing. If your agent does not put you at easy, choosing a policy and providing security for your family may be much more stressful.
Term insurance can be more affordable but it is not a permanent policy. In comparison to other life insurance options, term policies are relatively inexpensive. However, you should be aware that term policies can double as a financial asset that can be borrowed and repaid against. By comparison, term life only lasts while you make payments on it, so if you stop paying, there is no value or coverage.
It is a good idea to investigate the company which underwrites your policy for life insurance. They need to be reputable and large enough to handle any claims. While a smaller firm may be able to offer more attractive and affordable rates, this means absolutely nothing if the company is incapable of delivering results.
There are several ways in which you can purchase a policy. You can buy your own policy or obtain one through your place of employment. A financial planner, or an insurance agent, can also help you purchase your insurance policy.
Prior to purchasing life insurance coverage, you should consider giving up smoking. Smokers receive a higher premium for their life policies as opposed to non-smokers. That is why you should quit as soon as possible if you are going to look for a life insurance policy.
Be sure that you take the necessary amount of time to research many companies that offer life insurance before you settle on one. Is the company financially stable? Is their credit record respectable? You will reap no benefits from a policy issued by a shaky enterprise.
Don't cash out your policy except in extreme necessity. People in difficult financial straits are choosing to do this to meet immediate needs. This is a waste of money and time. Better solutions are available.
As life changes, so should your own life insurance policy. Status changes like marriages and births should always be accompanied by a careful reconsideration of your policy to see it is still suitable.
When you seek online information regarding life insurance, remember to safeguard your personal information. There are many identity theft rings that use the guise of life insurance to acquire your information. The only information necessary to obtain an insurance quote would be your zip code.
Look around when purchasing life insurance. Certain websites will provide you with multiple quotes which you can compare policy prices to make the best deal. Take the time and do the research as this can save you a lot of money. When you shop around, you gain more in the long run.
By now you should realize the important of planning ahead by purchasing life insurance, though you may not see an immediate need. If you use the advice you have read in this article, you can make sure that your family is protected.

Rockford native Carl Armato, a former Huskie basketball player and assistant coach, and a member of the Northern Illinois Athletics Hall of Fame, will return to his alma mater as an Associate Athletics Director, NIU Associate Vice-President and Director of Athletics Jeff Compher announced June 16, 2011.
Armato, who has spent the past three years as the Director of Athletics for the Rockford Public School system, previously spent seven years at NIU as an assistant basketball coach, working with the Huskie men's basketball team from 2001-07 and spending the 2007-08 campaign on the women's basketball staff.
Armato takes over for long-time Northern Illinois administrator Dee Abrahamson, who announced her retirement from NIU in May 2011. His duties will include the supervision of several Huskie sports programs, including volleyball, gymnastics, women's tennis and baseball, and leadership of the game operations staff.
A 1984 graduate of Northern Illinois, Armato left the NIU men's basketball program ranked second in career assists (284) and currently ranks ninth on the list. He was the starting point guard on the first Huskie men's basketball team to play in the NCAA Tournament; that 1981-82 team was inducted into the NIU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009. As a junior, he averaged 4.3 assists, 8.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.3 steals per game and as a senior, he led the MAC and ranked 15th in the country in free throw percentage.After graduating from NIU and beginning his coaching career on the high school level, including serving as varsity boys' coach at Winnebago (1985-87) and DeKalb (1987-89) high schools, he returned to Rockford as head coach at Rock Valley College from 1989-2001. His Rock Valley teams compiled a 219-135 record, posted 11 winning seasons in 12 years, and made three appearances in the National Junior College Athletic Association Tournament. Following the Golden Eagles' seventh-place showing in the 2001 NJCAA Tournament, Armato was named Region IV Coach of the Year.The next season, he returned to NIU as an assistant men's basketball coach; he was part of the staff that led the Huskies to a share of the MAC West title in 2005-06. After one season on Carol Owens' women's basketball staff, he left Northern Illinois to return to Rockford for the position with Rockford Public Schools.Armato was inducted into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA) Hall of Fame in 1989. A 1979 graduate of Rockford Boylan High School, he and his wife, Sharon, have four daughters and a son.

Please note that you can help compare nursing homes by looking at the Medicare ratings of a given facility (Medicare has a 5-star rating system for comparing nursing homes).

Catching up on some stuff I missed last week, it was announced late Friday night that the Pittsburgh Steelers had fired offensive line coach Jack Bicknell Jr. This announcement came as a bit of a surprise to most as Bicknell has generally been credited for doing a pretty good job this season. If there was ever an example of making chicken salad out of chicken shit, what Bicknell did with our crew of journeymen and underachievers was it. I can't fathom how much more the Steelers expected from him.
That is, if he was coaching the line at all. Our old friend Ian Rappaport, through his ever-popular "anonymous team source" – who we know is just the kid in the Steely McBeam costume feeding that nobody bogus scoops – tweeted that he heard Bicknell had been stripped of all on-field duties by the end of the year. While not a single one of the crack local beat reporters bothered to report this during the season, Jerry Dulac at the P-G did mention – shortly before Rappaport broke his "news" – that he had heard offensive line assistant Shaun Sarrett had taken over around mid-season. If that's true, I guess we already know who the next O-line coach is. Continue reading »

On the heels of the Pittsburgh Steelers latest disastrous loss, the big story to emerge from the wreckage is the demotion of first round pick Jarvis Jones. It all started during the game where those unfortunate enough to have had to sit through Sunday's fiasco saw linebackers coach Keith Butler chewing his rookie out on the sideline. Jones did not start on Sunday and at his weekly press conference, Mike Tomlin admitted that Jones has been benched in favor of Jason Worilds. His reasoning being that Jones needs to work on "the details."
Which is Tomlinspeak for "He don't know the playbook." Continue reading »

If you listen closely, you can hear Bruce Arians laughing.
Arians' revenge upon the team that unjustly fired him is now complete in the form of recently acquired left tackle Levi Brown. The Pittsburgh Steelers had high hopes for the former top ten pick, penciling him into their starting line-up before he even stepped foot off the plane from Arizona. So confident were they in their new left tackle that the man he replaced, inept Mike Adams, wasn't even dressed for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Naturally, Brown got hurt in pre-game warm-ups and was unable to play. Continue reading »

There was no Mike Tomlin press conference last week. Pity, considering how pissed Coach T appeared in the aftermath of the Pittsburgh Steelers loss to the Minnesota Vikings, I'm sure it would've been highly entertaining even if the questions are being furnished by the cheerleader local media. With the Penguins starting their season and the Pirates continuing to shock the baseball world, the media treated yesterday's presser like a typical Pittsburgh sports fan: with stunning apathy.
While the sparsely attended affair wrapped in a tidy 15 minutes, there were still several juicy Tomlin nuggets worthy of note (and mockery). Read on! Continue reading »

Credit where it's due – for once, Mike Tomlin didn't issue a hollow threat.
After the Pittsburgh Steelers fell to 0-4, Coach T issued a fiery proclamation that guys would start doing their jobs or he'd find people that would. That's all well and good but in football there isn't a lot of wiggle room in terms of line-up changes. Your 53 man is your 53 man and other than adding a veteran free agent or promoting a guy off the practice squad, there's not much tinkering you can do. Well, yesterday the Steelers found one other way: phone a friend.
The Arizona Cardinals traded left tackle Levi Brown to the Steelers in exchange for a conditional late round draft pick. Is this Bruce Arians' way of taking pity on his old buddy Ben Roethlisberger? Judging by comments out of the Cardinals camp where their GM described Brown as not "living up to expectations," I'm not sure if we this is Arians doing his old QB a solid or a team getting what they could for a guy they intended to dump anyway. Most likely the latter. Continue reading »

Week 4 Recap: Steelers Sink To 45 Year Low
Yesterday could arguably be considered the worst day in Pittsburgh Steelers history. First, news came down that one of the members of the storied Steel Curtain, L.C. Greenwood, had passed away at 67. Shortly thereafter, the Black and Gold blew a golden opportunity to send the game to overtime, falling to the Minnesota Vikings 34-27. The Steelers are now 0-4 for the first time in 45 years, the year before Mr. Greenwood was drafted by a rookie head coach named Chuck Noll.
Mike Tomlin is no Chuck Noll.
In fact, the only way he deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the Emperor is to point out it's become apparent our current Emperor has no clothes. No answers, either, for a season that has tragically spiraled out of control. Every week brings some fresh hell to Steeler Nation. It's amazing how this team constantly finds new ways to lose.

What Can Go Wrong For Steelers Tonight?
The Pittsburgh Steelers meet the Kansas City Chiefs tonight in the all-important third
exhibition preseason game. As I did last season, I beseech you, if you're going to the game, don't walk under any ladders. Steer clear of black cats. And if you own a rabbit's foot, by all means bring it with you. That is, if the NFL Security Overlords permit you to smuggle it in within your regulation size purse.
The third preseason game is always a mixed blessing. It's the most watchable game because starters usually see a good half of action in preparation for the season opener. But it's also the scariest because within that half, you're constantly hoping and praying none of the starters get injured. In a just world, when that half is over, everybody is healthy and ready for the regular season.
Unfortunately, we don't live in a just world. Continue reading »

Tonight the Pittsburgh Steelers face the Washington
Redskins in preseason game number two. Once again, those members of Steeler Nation living outside of the greatest city in the US of A will have an opportunity to watch the game live on ESPN. If there is a just and merciful God, Chris Berman will not be on the call. Leave it to the Four Letter to actually make me long for the unholy pairing of Bob Pompeani and Edmund Nelson.
There's really not much to preview before tonight's game. Le'Veon Bell will likely be a game-time decision. Other than that, we'll probably see the starters play a little longer than we did last week. The first cut down to a 75 man roster doesn't happen until after the third game so we'll still see plenty of future used car salesmen in the second half. If nothing else, it'll give them plenty of time to talk about Landry Jones. Continue reading »

Thoughts On Steelers First Preseason Game
The Pittsburgh Steelers fell to the New York Giants 18-13 in Saturday night's preseason debut. I note the score because I love being on Twitter during these meaningless games and watching Steeler Nation freak out over such minute details. I guess such passion even for games featuring a bunch of guys who'll be selling car insurance two weeks from now goes hand in hand with having the best fan base in all of football. Remember, people, the Detroit Lions went undefeated in the preseason before taking an O-fer the entire regular season.
With that in mind, there were some interesting storylines coming out of the game: Continue reading »

The Pittsburgh Steelers kick off their preseason against the New York Giants tonight. For those of you outside of the Steel City who are just dying to see undrafted free agents pretend to be pro ball players for a couple halves before embarking on a career selling used cars, the game will be airing on NFL Network. The red hot Pirates are in Colorado so when every player of consequence comes out by about 8:30, I'll probably be switching the channel along with every other bandwagon jumping yinzer.
