Is there any classification for coadjoint orbits of lower or upper triangular matrices in general case $n\times n$. Is there any reference?
Let me first say, that I am not an expert, but was interested in the same question recently, so I would also be happy if someone provides more info on the question. Let me collect some facts, which I know.
1) As far as I understand the general classification of orbits is in certain sense "wild" problem.
2) Classification up to n=7 can found in Coadjoint orbits of the group $UT(7,K)$ (2006) , further papers by A.Panov and his students give partial results on general $n$, e.g. these ones Involutions in $S_n$ and associated coadjoint orbits Diagram method in research on coadjoint orbits (2009)
3) There is a lots of recents studies which are "related" to the question. Especially in the case of ground field is finite. In such a case people are greatly interested in understanding representation theory of U(n,F_q) and in particular of the "orbit method" approach to it, and hence in coadjoint orbits. See some comments at mathoverflow question: Finite Unipotent Groups: References.
4) If you restrict to ground field to be finite, then it is worth to mention several facts: a) number of adjoint and coadjoint orbits is the same b) it is the same with the number of conjugacy classes in the group c) hence the same as number of irreps d) it is related to interesting combinatorics, see e.g. paper by A.A. Kirillov, A. Melnikov On a Remarkable Sequence of Polynomials and other papers by these and other authors.
For the finite field, these MO questions, related: Finite Unipotent Groups: References, Representation theory of p-groups in particular upper tringular matrices over F_p Irreducible representations of the unitriangular group.
Suppose that $G=\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$. Since two $n\times n$ complex matrices are conjugate if and only if they have the same Jordan canonical form, a classifying invariant of your orbits is the Jordan canonical form. In particular, every orbit contains an upper-triangular matrix and a lower-triangular matrix. So, you obtain no fewer orbits by restricting to those containing upper (or lower)-triangular matrices.

I presume that if I am watching a programme on the internet, I can record it much as I can do with a DVD player linked to the TV? But what do I need to be able to do this?
Our Freeview/DVD is only a single tuner (you can only watch the programme that is recording) so if my wife is recording one of those many cop shows I want to record something else.

See more about us
With a proven track record of providing world-class care to patients in more than 30 pediatric specialties, we are a model for other pediatric hospitals. Infants, teens and young adults belong in a children's hospital where they can get specialized treatment from caregivers who know the important differences between children and adults.
See our clinical services
Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
We all want happy, healthy kids. But as a busy parent, helping your kids eat well and stay active can be a challenge.
At Strong4Life, created by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, our doctors, nutritionists and wellness experts create fun, easy ways to help your kids eat, move and live healthier. From picky eaters to passionate gamers, we have a slew of simple tips by experts who understand, because we're parents, too.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community.

At Sibley Heart Center Cardiology, more than 45 pediatric cardiologists care for kids from birth to age 21. We provide services in 22 outpatient locations and 40 hospitals throughout Georgia.
Though our International Patient Services, we help meet the unique needs of families traveling from outside of the United States.
A heart transplant is an open-heart operation done for a pediatric patient when his own heart muscle becomes too weak to pump enough blood through his body. A heart transplant replaces the diseased heart with a donor heart. The donor heart works as a normal heart should—pumping blood to the body and lungs.
After all other life-saving treatments and procedures have been tried, a donor heart is placed in the child. The wait time for a donor heart varies—and is generally a longer wait for infants than for older children. Heart transplantation may be used for patients with severe congenital heart defects.
At Children's, we research and strive to develop advances in pediatric heart transplant. Our cardiothoracic surgeons work hand-in-hand with the Heart Transplant team. Our pediatric cardiac team and child-centered care offer children and families the pediatric cardiac care they need.
In addition, our innovative procedures attract regional and national referrals, such as:
Children's support groups and therapy help children and their families cope with the life-changing transplants. Social workers, child life specialists and others help patients and families with the emotional and medical changes before and after the procedure.
A thorough evaluation is done before a child can be listed for a heart transplant. The evaluation includes:
Medicine must be taken after a transplant to prevent rejection of the heart. Long-term follow-up care to monitor the heart is needed.

HEADLINES : Washington
Supreme Court: Washington isn't fully funding education
SEATTLE - The Washington Supreme Court issued a ruling Thursday that the state has failed to properly fund basic K-12 education, violating the state Constitution, and has ordered the Legislature to fill the void in the next six years.
KING 5 News obtained an advance copy of the ruling, which was set to be released at 10 a.m. Read the full ruling here (.pdf)
A coalition of school districts, parents, teachers and community groups won a lawsuit in King County Superior Court in February 2010. Judge John Erlick ruled the state was violating its constitution by not fully paying for basic education.
The state appealed, saying Erlick reached beyond the high court's previous ruling on this issue in 1978.
Thursday's high court ruling reads the state "has not complied" with its constitutional duty to make "ample provision for the education of all children in Washington."
The court acknowledges, however, that the legislature passed a reform package in 2009 which, if fully funded, would fill the void in funding basic education. The court has set a deadline of 2018 for the Legislature to come up with a plan pay for basic education.

I was surfing on the internet and found the following article on Shilpa Shetty in www.sundaymirror.co.uk. I will hold my comments until after you finish reading the article, so here is the interview:
I spend too much on… Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer. I love it. They gave me some on a flight and as soon as I landed I went and bought some more.
My beauty regime is… simple. I never use soap on my face, and I always make sure I take my make-up off at night. I use a concoction of baby oil and coconut oil in equal parts – it's the best thing for my skin.
My best beauty bargain is… beetroot! If you want a natural flush, boil some beetroot in the microwave and rub a bit on your cheeks over your moisturiser. It always comes out the right colour.
My beauty addiction is… collecting lipsticks. I'm quite a freak about them. I have the same pink shade in every make, but I can't stop buying them. I especially love Estee Lauder lipsticks.
My fragrance reminds me of… happy times. All the notes in S2 are favourites of mine. At its heart it contains jasmine, which reminds me of home, and when I smell it, it instantly takes me back to India. It's very special to me.
My worst beauty disaster was… wearing bright blue contact lenses and red lipstick. At the same time. I have no idea why I did it – I must have been about 21 and coloured lenses had just come in big time. It was a complete disaster.
So beetroot... I am speechless. I know that beetroot is a great dye and all but I wonder if she actually does this for awards shows and appearances. Judging by the depth of the shimmer and colour on her cheeks in her photos I should guess not. Just tell us what you use already! What does Desi sisterhood mean if stars don't share their product secrets with us? By the way, is there such a thing as Desi sisterhood or has the beetroot made me gone mad? See, not only am I speechless, I'm pretty much brainless too. And it's all the beetroot's fault.

Medal, Apollo-Soyuz Test Project
This medal celebrates the first joint international spaceflight, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, which occurred in July 1975.
Commemorative and medals are one way in which Russian and Soviet leaders have recognized accomplishments and individuals in the space program. Initially limited groups of people within the space program received medals. As the space programs grew in prestige and publicity, the medals increased in numbers and played an increasing role in celebrating the accomplishments of the space program. Ultimately, medals became the currency of diplomatic gifts from the Soviet Union. High government or industry officials would give these medals as gifts to their counterparts abroad, including the United States. The typical medals had the main, commemorative theme on the front and supporting statement on the reverse.

Funerals for shooting victims
Funerals are taking place for victims of the US shootings.
Funerals are taking place for victims of the US shootings.
The White House has released a video of President Obama calling on people in America to support changes to gun laws in the US.
The president says, "in the days since the heartbreaking tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, hundreds of thousands of you, from all 50 states, have signed petitions asking us to take serious steps to address the epidemic of gun violence in this country.
"So I just want to take a minute today to respond and let you know we hear you."
As President Obama calls for "concrete proposals" to curb gun violence, some shooting enthusiasts have doubts they will work in practice.
A resident of Newtown told ITV News he found six terrified children hiding in his garden after last week's massacre at an elementary school.
Parents are anxious but doing their best to return to a routine, for the sake of the children.

Photos from inside the Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, scheduled to open March 4, 2013, in downtown Cincinnati.
CORRECTION: This story has been modified to correct mistakes in the payout percentage for Rising Star Casino, promotional spending by Belterra Park and the story's first quote by Todd George.
As Cincinnati's casino market tightens, the slot machines are loosening.
A WCPO analysis of monthly revenue reports from casino regulators in Ohio and Indiana shows the payout percentage on slot machines gradually increased this year to 90.59 percent as two new rivals ramped up racinos in Anderson and Turtlecreek townships.
That means more money in the pockets of local gamblers.
"The big winners in all this gaming expansion are the customers," said Todd George, general manager of Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg. "You need to really make it so you're worth the trip. If somebody is going to take the time to choose you over one of your competitors, the last thing you want to happen is for them to go through their gaming budget in a short amount of time."
WCPO ranked local casinos in terms of payout percentages, as follows:
1. Rising Star, 91.72 percent payout; 1,153 slots.
2. Miami Valley Gaming, 91.67 percent payout; 1,595 slots.
3. Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, 91.49 percent payout; 1,968 slots.
3. Belterra Casino and Resort, 90.92 percent payout; 1,209 slots.
4. Hollywood Casino, 90.8 percent payout; 2,248 slots.
5. Belterra Park, 90.23 percent payout; 1,471 slots.
Hollywood Casino says differences in state reporting rules make Ohio casinos look better in this analysis. If you adjust for promotional spending, all three Ohio casinos rank below 90 percent in payout - lower than their Indiana rivals.

CINCINNATI -- As Cincinnati's casino market tightens, the slot machines are loosening.
A WCPO analysis of monthly revenue reports from casino regulators in Ohio and Indiana shows the payout percentage on slot machines gradually increased this year to 90.59 percent as two new rivals ramped up racinos in Anderson and Turtlecreek townships.
"The big winners in all this gaming expansion are the customers," said Todd George, general manager of Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg. "You need to really make it so you're worth the trip. If somebody is going to take the time to choose you over one of your competitors, the last thing you want to happen is for them to go through their gaming budget in a short amount of time."
For every $100 plunked into slot machines in June, $90.59 went back to gamblers. That's 23 cents more than in March and April. It may not seem like a lot until you consider those machines racked up $516 million in June bets. So, an increase of 0.23 percent translates to $1.2 million more in payouts.
At the same time, the amount of promotional spending by casinos – including free money for slot machine credits, food and other perks – surged 30 percent between the first and second quarters of this year, reaching $21.6 million in the three months ended June 30.
George said casinos are using multiple techniques to build loyal customers, including concerts, complementary meals, free-play vouchers and – in Hollywood's case – a new convention facility that opens this fall and already has 20 events booked this year. George said competitive markets are known for having lower hold percentages on slots wagers.
"If you were in a monopoly-type situation, you could have your hold percentage wherever you want," George said. "In a really competitive environment, you want people to come in and enjoy themselves and earn comps and cash back."
Total spending in all Cincinnati area casinos increased 5.9 percent in June to $54.2 million, but casinos open at least a year saw double-digit revenue dips as Belterra Park in Anderson Township completed its second full month and Miami Valley Gaming near Monroe hit month seven.
"Everyone's aware that the market's a little softer than we projected," said Jim Simms, general manager of Miami Valley Gaming. "When your business grows on discretionary income, that means people need to have a job. They need to feel secure. They need to have consumer confidence. The world is a little more cautious than it was back prior to 2008."
Here's how the market shakes out:
· Horseshoe Cincinnati ranks first with a 28.2 percent market share and $15.3 million in revenue, down 13.3 percent from last year.
· Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg declined 27.3 percent to $14.7 million and a 27.1 percent share of all gaming revenue.
· Miami Valley Gaming ranks third with an 18.4 percent share and $9.6 million in revenue, down 12 percent from May.
· Belterra Casino Resort in Florence, Ind., held a 12.4 percent share with $9.7 million in revenue, down 21.8 percent from last year.
· Rising Star Casino dipped below $4 million for the second time since January, but held on to fourth place with a market share of 7.2 percent.
· Belterra Park, at the former River Downs horse track, finished last with $3.7 million in revenue and a 6.8 percent share.
Comparing slots figures between states is difficult because Ohio and Indiana casinos report their numbers differently to state regulatory bodies. Ohio allows casinos to deduct promotional credits from gross revenue, while Indiana numbers are not adjusted. Hollywood Casino said promotional spending should be added to the Ohio figures to make an "apples to apples" comparison. But Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati said no adjustment is needed because promotional spending goes to gamblers, not the casino. If you adjust the figures to include promotional spending, all three Ohio casinos rank at the bottom.
In both cases, however, Rising Star Casino had the loosest slots, paying out 91.72 percent of all dollars played in slot machines from January to June.
Miami Valley Gaming ranked second, with an unadjusted figure of 91.67 percent. It also led the region in promotional spending at $13 million.
"Our marketing strategy is about giving them several pieces that add up to a great experience," Simms said. "It's not just about what the machine gives out. It's about the marketing rewards, the sign-up bonus, the jackpots and things like that. We're not overbuilt, not over pretentious. We're trying to be a place where people can come and have a comfortable experience without breaking the bank."
Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, which ranked second in total payouts at 91.49 percent, said it made no recent changes to
its promotional spending or slot machine hold percentages. Sometimes, a casino's hold percentage rises or falls because of the machines gamblers choose. Penny slots have higher holds, while quarter and dollar slots are set to pay out at higher percentages. Horseshoe reported $11.9 million in promotional spending from January to June.
"We've not made any casino floor moves in several months," said Daniel Brockdorf, vice president of marketing for the Cincinnati property. "Promotional spending is contingent on gaming volume. There was some intentional increase last year. Now, we've achieved a state of spending that we're comfortable with."
Here's how all six casino rivals fared in a WCPO analysis. We included an adjusted figure for Ohio casinos to show how promotional spending affects the payout percentage.
· Rising Star, 91.72 percent payout; 1,153 slots.
· Miami Valley Gaming, 91.67 percent payout (89.85 percent after adjustments); 1,595 slots.
· Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, 91.49 percent payout (89.95 percent after adjustments); 1,968 slots.
· Belterra Casino and Resort, 90.92 percent payout ; 1,209 slots.
· Hollywood Casino, 90.8 percent payout; 2,248 slots.
· Belterra Park, 90.23 percent payout (89.07 percent after adjustments); 1,471 slots.
Despite the recent increase, local payouts are well within industry norms and they haven't changed enough to make slots a better option than table games in terms of percentage payouts to gamblers.
But they're still better than lottery payouts and they vary by casino.

New HIV prevention methods are urgently needed; worldwide, millions of individuals are infected each year. To help stop the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the Council is developing new, user-controlled prevention methods called microbicides that will allow men and women to protect themselves from infection. Council researchers are also investigating multipurpose prevention technologies (MPTs) that will allow women to prevent unintended pregnancy as well as HIV and other STIs.
The Council's approach to product development covers the entire product development lifecycle, from basic science, to clinical testing and behavioral research, to product introduction and public education.
At the Council's Center for Biomedical Research, Council researchers study the basic science of HIV transmission to discover novel ways to stop the virus. The technologies currently in development are designed to have multiple uses.
The Council's field research increases the understanding of how women and men may use these products. Strong regulatory and intellectual property strategies ensure that products are safe, effective, and affordable. A world-class panel of experts from the academic, nonprofit, and industry sectors provides guidance and feedback on product development. And the Council supports strategic introduction and thoughtful scale-up of effective technologies once they become available.

Lutsen Resort's Innovative Wine List Garners Wine Spectator's 2008 Award of Excellence
LUTSEN, MN—Known for its beautiful lakeside setting on the rugged North Shore of Lake Superior and its award-winning hospitality, Lutsen Resort recently added another distinction - Wine Spectator's 2008 Award of Excellence (link to listing here). Every year, Wine Spectator awards restaurants whose wine list "offers interesting selections, is appropriate to their cuisine and appeals to a wide range of wine lovers." This year, Lutsen Resort's unique menu and wine pairings landed it on Wine Spectator's list for the very first time.
A menu with an extensive list of the world's most popular beverage results in Lutsen Resort's most recent designation.
Robert McPherson, the wine director at Lutsen Resort's restaurant, notes that the growth of their wine list coincides with the rise in popularity of wine nationwide. "Wine is the one beverage that continues to grow in popularity, outpacing even beer," he said. Working collectively with executive chef Rob Wells and food and beverage manager Mark Lindsay, McPherson strives to offer wines that complement the resort's Scandinavian/American menu.
"The key to a truly great wine list is to offer something for everyone," said McPherson. "For the novice who wants a nice chardonnay to go with her walleye, to the vinophile really looking for a great wine experience, my goal is to offer a wealth of selections that intrigue and delight."
Wine Spectator judges restaurants based on their wine list, menu, and a brief description of their overall restaurant concept. Nancy Burns, owner of Lutsen Resort, said, "In everything we do at Lutsen Resort, we attempt to blend our strong sense of identity with a progressive look to what trends and experiences are coming next. Our menu and wine selection are no exception. It's nice to be noticed for something we're so passionate about."

I have tested the functionality of the sites on my local dev machine running 5.3.1 and all is well.
Having never done a PHP upgrade, and not wanting to disrupt the service of the live sites, are there any precautions you can give me that I should be considereing before I do this?

I've been on the watch hunt lately. I wear my gold Michael Kors one religiously. Like every everyday. I want another one to mix into the lineup. Switching up is fun & currently my alternative (my workout watch) isn't so pretty (doesn't look great with slacks and pencil skirts, LOL)! These three have perked my interest and kept me coming back for more for about a month now.
Do you have a favorite?
I was thinking I may want a two tone - gold/silver but with a simple face. So far I've only found men's versions or ones with the tiny extra dials. But these three are right there, I wish I could find a two tone to narrow it down! My poor gold one needs a day off!

The gym and the range... always someone there who won't shut up and let me do what I am there to do.
This is a discussion on Annoying Shooters on the Range - First time out with my AR15 within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Forget about the other stuff, the bright point is you have nice rifle and time with your daughter. keep her shooting....
Forget about the other stuff, the bright point is you have nice rifle and time with your daughter. keep her shooting.
The gym and the range... always someone there who won't shut up and let me do what I am there to do.
OP: Awesome time with family on the range. I have let the "range roving expert" shoot my guns a couple of rounds at the same target I was shooting at. I have never had a problem with them again and have been asked if I wanted to try his guns too. Then I ask that I be given some private time with family (I normally have my wife with me) and they never return.
I think they are just kids coaches at one time and do not have any kids young enough to coach so they feel the need to... sad but it happens and as was posted, two can walk away happy and maybe that range roving expert will not be bothering anybody the rest of the day...

Want to make people leave you alone? Anywhere, anytime. Tell them you are an insurance salesman and try to sell them a policy.
I very rarely encounter another person at the range. My days off are mid week so it's the perfect time to shoot, especially in the morning. And I've yet to encounter a pest if there is someone else there. It's usually an admiration for what I or someone else is shooting that will have a person wander over from their shooting bench/position. I do it myself, go on over to see "what ya got" but only when they appear not to be tied up shooting or they are with someone else. I don't mind having visitors, to show off my stuff, but don't come knocking when I'm shooting.
even at the private range i frequent there may be a individual as found you--rarely.
if my daughter doesn't tell him to go away, i will. nicely of course;
look careful at his name/pic badge and than write it down as he watches is all that is usually necessary.
or politely tell him that we are running an exercise and 'thank you for your input but do you mind if we work together now...'
the club is not so old that we still have some founding members. age has been unkind to some and they warrant special consideration

Lack of preparation on your part does not necessarily constitute an emergency on mine
"the club is not so old that we still have some founding members. age has been unkind to some and they warrant special consideration "
Well said, Claude. Sometimes an old fart can teach you a lot, but age does not often impart wisdom. As Calvin said to Hobbes, "There's nothing like a good sneer to dry up a conversation".
My experence has been that 99% of gun people (range or otherwise) are fantastic people. On the otherhand there is one lone soul that has to be a butt. When I arrive I say good morning, afternoon or what ever - introduce myself - find a position and begin my practice. Whan the I encounter the butthole, I just say I could do better with out interruption. My range time is limited as it is.
That pretty much resolves the problem.
Range time is the shooters time NOT the onlooker. Unless someone is doing something dangerous they should not be disturbed.
That being said I suspect every hobbie has it cops. In ham (amaterur) radio there is repeater and frequency cops, gun ranges have the range cop, divers endure the ocasional diver safety police, and every fisherman knows the "special bait guy" who supposedly knows all the secrets of fishing a particular lake.

I have a way of dealing with Range Cops and Gun "gurus".
In the event they approach me properly, I'll be very pleasant with them and entertain conversation. Once I notice the conversation turning south I'll load about 3 magazines to full capacity. Once I finish the magazine that I'm currently dealing with, I'll go ahead and load the first one into my gun and begin to ignore the annoying person while I am concentrating as hard as I can on shooting accurately into the target, then proceed to keep my focus while shutting that annoying person out.
In the two experiences I have had with obnoxious people at the range, they have all left before I finished the second mag.
Thanks for the comments - a wide range of way's to handle it. I think my response is a "middle of the road" response. I do believe that at the end of the day, at least 2 people (my daughter and myself) had a blast. As for Gentleman #1 only he can speak to how his day went, but I hope it went well. I sure tried to be a gentleman to him. I am in my early 40's and I would place him no more than 10 years older than me. I am not sure what his background is, so I tried to treat him with as much respect as I could.
One thing that my grandfather taught me, and am only now really learning to appreciate. "There is nothing wrong with listening to anyone's advice, its up to you to determine if it is good advice, and if you want to follow it". This was one of those cases where listening to his advice only cost me a few minutes of time. The only time I got firm with him, is when he tried to teach my child, and appeared to want to put his hands on her to help position her (which I did not state earlier). He was a stranger and no stranger has the right to touch my child unless it is defined in the public safety role (such as EMS).
There is only one other time where I know I got "rude" (I think of it more as "FIRM"). That is when a "know-it-all" loaded his handgun, chambered a round, then started talking waving it around, including pointing it myself and others on the range. I got very firm with him, notified the safety officer, and upon getting confirmation from other range patrons, was escorted off the grounds. But that was on a different range.
"Gun Free Zones" is where only criminals carry guns.

TRENTON – New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman was on hand in Trenton on Tuesday as two of the top pitching prospects in his team's farm system took the mound for the Double-A Trenton Thunder.
Arguably the best prospect in the system, Luis Severino took the loss after one bad pitch sailed over the wall for a two-run home run. However, the right-hander was otherwise effective, striking out three batters in as many innings pitched and limiting the New Hampshire Fisher Cats to just the one hit. Cashman indicated that he believed the 20-year-old to be a special pitcher who had a future in the big leagues.
"He's got a big arm and a real special change up that's impressive, especially at that age of 20," Cashman told reporters after Tuesday's game.
Cashman also came away quite impressed with the Yankees' second-round pick in the 2014 draft, Jacob Lindgren. The Yankees GM revealed he had never seen Lindgren pitch live prior to Tuesday, but walked away overly impressed with the lefty reliever and his overpowering slider. Despite having just 16 professional games under his belt, Cashman declined to rule out promoting the Mississippi State product to the majors this season.
"He's as advertised," Cashman noted. "Ground balls and strikeouts."
After speaking with Cashman on Tuesday night, the smart money is on Lindgren making appearances in the Bronx this season, while Luis Severino's big league debut will likely have to wait until 2015. Asked on Wednesday, Thunder manager Tony Franklin conceded that Severino is "extremely close" to his innings limit for the season, which is why he tossed just three innings. The talented right-hander has thrown 106 frames on the season after pitching just 44 innings last season.
Also taking the mound before Cashman's eyes on Tuesday was relief pitching prospect Danny Burawa. The hard-throwing 25-year-old was transferred back to the Thunder after struggling to a 6.35 ERA with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but has fared well since returning, posting a 2.08 ERA over nine appearances.
Cashman compared Burawa to another Yankee pitcher who was demoted from Scranton to Trenton before bursting onto the scene and becoming an All-Star at the big league level, current set-up man Dellin Betances.
"Burawa has a big arm and a wipeout slider, so it's just about commanding it," Cashman said. "We've seen that before with a guy like Dellin Betances…We are hoping that down the line all those pieces fall into place eventually."
However, Cashman did not seem as high on Mark Montgomery, who was once the consensus top relief pitching prospect in the system before suffering a shoulder injury early in the 2013 season. Though he indicated that Montgomery is "still on the radar," it was hardly a glowing endorsement of the 23-year-old.
"He used to have much bigger velocity, and now it's settling at a lower level," Cashman noted. "He still has the performance behind it, it's just not the power stuff it was before."

Owens & Robinson Claim Eldora Victories
ROSSBURG, Ohio — A pair of Club 29 Race Car (chassis) drivers showed the way Thursday as Eldora Speedway opened a busy weekend for the 20th annual Dirt Late Model Dream presented by Ferris Mowers with a pair of fast-paced Twin 25-lap features.
Jimmy Owens led the final 10 laps of the opening feature, while Kent Robinson led all the way in the finale. The drivers earned $2,500 apiece and will be among nearly 80 drivers gunning for Saturday's $100,000 payday. Twin 25-lappers paying $5,000-to-win are scheduled for Friday.
With the track splitting the field for two complete programs following the multi-car time trial runs, Owens came out on top in the opening feature.
Combining patience with an impeccably handling machine, Owens ran down and passed race-long pacesetter Bobby Pierce for the lead on lap 15 and then rolled to victory.
"It's good to come up here and win and have a pretty versatile car," said Owens, a past winner of Eldora's Dream (2009) and World 100 ('07, '11). "I was pretty good wherever I wanted to go actually — I could run high, through the middle and on the bottom. I was really pleased."
Owens, 42, failed to jump out to the lead at the initial green flag from his pole position starting spot, but that was the only blemish on his run. He glided by the 17-year-old Pierce, who started second, just after the halfway mark and controlled the remainder of the distance to pocket a $2,500 check.
Pierce settled for a runner-up finish, 1.441 seconds behind Owens. Eric Wells earned a career-best Eldora finish of third after surging past Jacob Hawkins on the restart following the race's only caution flag (and only second of the entire night), on lap 22. John also passed Hawkins on the final restart to place fourth, leaving Hawkins fifth at the checkered flag.
In the second feature, Robinson captured what he called the biggest victory of his career.
"Any time you get on the stage here, it's a big deal," the 27-year-old driver said. "It might not have paid the highest (purse) I've ever won, but it definitely means the most to me."
The polesitter jumped into the early lead in the caution-free event and built a comfortable half-straightaway margin on second-running Scott Bloomquist, a six-time Dream winner.
But as the frontrunners approached traffic after 10 laps, Robinson's margin narrowed and it appeared as if Bloomquist might track him down. Instead, Robinson turned up the wick amid the slower cars, stretching his lead and giving his No. 7r a cushion of three lapped cars as Bloomquist vainly tried to keep up.
"When you get to dirty air, it really makes your car handle different. I knew I had a big lead. I was getting signs, a big enough lead, but I had to press hard enough to get around those guys to put some cars in between me and Scott," Robinson said. "The car was really maneuverable. Once the tires fired off, it was really good — spot on. I don't know if it could've gotten better, but that's a good feeling. It makes my job a lot easier."
Robinson ran unchallenged the rest of the way to take the checkers nearly three seconds ahead of Bloomquist, who started fourth and took the second spot from outside front-row starter Jonathan Davenport on the third lap.
Chris Simpson, who started fifth, advanced two positions for his best Eldora performance while Rick Eckert rallied from 11th to finish fourth in the Rocket Chassis house car.
Eddie Carrier Jr. was the fast qualifier for the 78-car field with a lap of 16.433 seconds on the half-mile oval.
The finishes:
First feature: Jimmy Owens, Bobby Pierce, Eric Wells, John Blankenship, Jacob Hawkins, Chris Madden, Brian Birkhofer, Jeep Vanwormer, Eddie Carrier Jr., Shannon Babb, Tim McCreadie, Jason Riggs, Billy Moyer Jr., Jimmy Mars, Morgan Bagle, Darrell Lanigan, Don O'Neal, Jason Hiett, Jeff Babcock, Terry Phillips, A.J. Diemel, Shane Clanton, Jared Landers, Jason Feger.
Second feature: Kent Robinson, Scott Bloomquist, Chris Simpson, Rick Eckert, Duane Chamberlain, Dale McDowell, Jonathan Davenport, Billy Moyer, Mike Marlar, Mason Zeigler, Steve Francis, Brad Neat, R.J. Conley, Ryan Gustin, Matt Miller, Gregg Satterlee, Earl Pearson Jr., Jon Henry, Curtis Roberts, Delmas Conley, Kyle Bronson, Michael Asberry, Devin Moran, Wayne Chinn.

The Big Blue Report is the Superman Homepage Newsletter sent out twice a month. It contains exclusive content not seen on the website. Subscribe now!
For the past several years, I've attended WonderCon in San Francisco and reported for the Superman Homepage. Obviously most of our readers visit the site for news relating to Superman. With the potential movie still far over the horizon and War of the Supermen climaxing a two year arc in the comics, there was little to report. All the creators involved remained tight-lipped about the Man of Steel's future. Normally I would attend the DC Panels and take away all the information I could about Superman and put it up for our readers, but sadly that was not meant to happen this year.
Instead of reporting non-existent Superman news, I thought I would share a Cliff's Notes version of my convention experience with the readers.
I exited the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) train and attempted to find my bearings to head toward the convention when I noticed I was standing a few feet away from Dan Didio, who I saw a lot of just three weeks ago at MegaCon in Orlando, Florida. We both looked at each other and did a double take. After exchanging a quick hello, I headed off.
Once I obtained my press pass, I headed off to the celebrity autograph section. I usually feel funny since there are always so many celebrities selling autographs that I have little interest in and I don't intend to buy anything.
This year there was one celebrity I wanted to meet: Helen Slater. Having met many movie and TV stars, I don't normally get nervous when meeting new ones, but when I met Ms. Slater I couldn't even bring myself to say a simple, "Hi, my name is Jeffrey." I chose the picture of her as Supergirl in front of Popeye's Chicken and bought her autograph. She was nice enough to take a photo with me for the Superman Homepage as well. That normally costs extra.
Most of the questions revolved around Green Lantern and Blackest Night, although he was asked if he would write a novel at some point. Geoff jokingly responded, "I will probably not do a novel until I retire because ... there's so many words. So many words. It feels like writing a paper to me. I need pictures with my books."
Later Johns discussed that the Justice Society will appear in season 10 of Smallville if he can make it happen. He also revealed that in the Absolute Justice episode that Dr. Midnight was originally written to appear in the hospital scene with The Martian Manhunter, but the scene was cut due to budgetary constraints.
After that, Geoff was joined by Dan Didio and Jim Lee for the DC panel. Dan and Jim have recently been promoted to co-pubishers. Lee discussed that his run on All-Star Batman with Frank Miller will continue in February 2011 and will be retitled to reflect the Miller-Batverse titles. It will now be called Dark Knight: Boy Wonder.
Jim Lee mentioned that he has been testing the DC Universe Online game and that it looks great, but still isn't ready for a release date. Once the game has been online for a while, there will be an effort to keep the content current with the ongoing comic book universe. He also explained that DC is experimenting with digital comics, but that computer and printed comics will still be two separate products.
When asked about lateness in comic release dates, all three stated that it hurts DC on all levels and they hate it just as much as we do. It's just a question of which approach is best for a late product, finding another writer or artist to complete the project on time, or keeping the creative team intact to preserve the quality of the finished work.
After perusing the sales floor one more time, I attended the Kevin Smith lecture. Smith is just awesome at what he does. He fields questions for two hours and has a lot of fun doing it. I had never seen him live before. Apparently the backs of the name placards that WonderCon personnel place where panel members sit say "Remember some audience members may be under 18. Please keep the language and content clean." Smith had attended WonderCon before and this time someone taped over those words for him, which made him laugh.
On Saturday, the first exciting panel included many writers at DC Comics, including Geoff Johns, Jimmy Palmiotti, Greg Rucka, Gail Simone, Judd Winick and James Robinson. Robinson led the panel asking questions for all the writers, like how did they first began writing comics and what's different about writing for comics versus writing for other media.
Geoff Johns told the audience that writing his episodes of Smallville was easy compared to managing a crossover event like Blackest Night. The biggest difference is that comics aren't slaves to a budget like TV shows and films. If you can write it and the artist can draw it, you don't have to worry about effects costs.
Concerning crossovers, Gail Simone explained that the writers at DC try to work as a team and that when one if them is writing a book that can cross over with another that it only increases the strength of both titles. Her Secret Six crossover with Blackest Night for example was entirely her own idea. "Comics are the only place you can do this," she said.
During the audience questions, someone asked Johns how he handles plot problems when he writes himself into a corner. Johns replied, "I do an annual." Sometimes stories get bigger than planned and more miniseries and one shots need to be included to the story. For instance, the two Superman's Pal: Jimmy Olsen issues that tied into World of New Krypton.
At the DC Nation Panel, Jim Lee was not scheduled, but arrived unexpectedly. He took the audience microphone and asked the panel when that All Star Batman book is finally coming out, then ran up to the panel and answered his own question.
There was more debate about the value of digital comics and several writers explained that there are exciting prospects behind the new medium. "There's something visceral about turning a page to reveal the action of the next one." A simple click is going to alter the way stories are told.
I got to meet Darick Robertson and had him sign a couple of my comics and draw me a sketch of Wee Hughie with a black eye from The Boys. I also asked James Robinson to sign my variant copy of Justice League: Cry for Justice #1. He had apparently not seen the cover before.
I'm sure there were more people attending the convention this year than last. The crowd gets larger every time. A lot of fun was had and I recommend that every fan find one to go to, at least once.

Formula 1 Racing is a huge all over the world, but not necessarily in the United States.
So, as the sport continues to expand its reach across the globe, North America wasn't left out of the equation, with two new venues hosting races, Austin, TX and New Jersey.
In addition, another new series has been set up, this one geared to teenagers and up-and-coming drivers—the Panam GP Series—which has its first event this weekend in Mexico City and incorporates many similar elements of the prestigious senior category.
The races will eventually include 24 cars and drivers from various teams in North and South America. The series kicks off this Saturday, and the North American portion, which includes teams for Canada and the United States, will start in spring 2013.
"We're very excited, because it's a very novel and unique program," says Alec Donachy, public relations representative for the series. "And the Ferrari Formula 1 team is supporting the effort to recruit for the series at the grassroots level, so they are now seriously interested in finding teenagers and pre-teens for a driver development program."
The program will help kids transition from go-karts to racecars, and it's setting up shop in Utah for young drivers from all over the country to come and develop their racing skills.
The Series provided a press meet and greet with two of the development program's 10-year-old drivers at the Newpark Hotel in Park City on Tuesday night.
Alec Donachy tells press about Utah's new program for young racers.
Sophie Mae Price
Price, who resides in Heber, has been racing competitively since she was four, but started driving motorized vehicles at 2 1/2. She can often be found practicing and competing at Miller Motorsports Park, with her family looking on. Her father was a racecar driver, and now her younger sister is also getting into racing.
"I'm just a normal girl, going to school every day, but every Friday, I check out and go to the race track and practice until 9:30, and then I race the next day from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.," she says. "It can be stressful some days, but mainly I just love being with my family and when everyone comes out to watch it."
Recently, she finished in second place at the 2012 Gatorz Challenge of the Americas MicroMax.
Josh Fine
At the press event, Fine spent some time explaining all the components of one of the MicroMax cars on display. "She goes around 60 miles per hour," he said. "And it's a rotax engine." He competes in one just like it at Miller Motorsports Park. He started racing when he was five years old, and his dad serves as his tuner.
"I love how competitive it is," he says. "And I like just checking out cars and how they handle and seeing what kind of set up they have." He lives in Park City, and when he's not driving, he enjoys skiing, soccer, biking, hiking and math.
He entered Junior 1, a four stroke 200cc Honda class, last year and had a stellar rookie season. This year, he's looking to win the Junior 1 championship.

Centenarian has watched Ventura change
By Hannah Guzik 01/19/2012
When Bessie Carter came to Ventura, jobs were scarce, people distrusted big banks and families worried about having enough food.
Sound familiar? Think again. The year was 1931.
Carter was 19 when she arrived in the Montalvo neighborhood with her single mother, driven by the Great Depression.
Now, on her 100th birthday, the longtime resident is reflecting on the changes she's seen and the history that seems to repeat itself.
"People say I've been lucky — well, I don't think luck had anything to do with it," she said. "I think it was hard work and really persevering."
Carter, who turned 100 on Thursday, Jan. 19, is a rail-thin, whip-smart woman who has outlived just about everyone she first met in Ventura.
Fiercely independent, she still drives herself to doctors' appointments and bridge games. Carter lived alone until last July, when she broke her hip and moved into an assisted-living apartment in Ventura.
"Bessie is incredibly sharp, has an uncanny memory, and is doing physically better than most 70-year-olds," said friend Pam Grossman, senior Ventura County deputy district attorney. "… Bessie is a very upbeat, intelligent and inspiring individual and has many friends."
Although unusual for a woman of her generation, Carter never had children and worked most of her adult life. Upon arriving in Montalvo from rural Colorado, she and her mother took seasonal jobs, picking spoiled lima beans off a conveyor belt in the fall, for example.
"Not oranges, not lemons, not strawberries — the big crop in Ventura County was lima beans, and lots of walnuts," she said.
For the lima-bean job, she made a whopping 33 and 1/3 cents an hour.
"Times were very, very severe," she said. "As opposed to the $10 an hour now. I can't believe it. What I could have done with those $10."
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 33 and 1/3 cents an hour in 1931 equates to $4.96 an hour today, far below California's minimum wage.
Carter and her mother, Mima McMullin, initially stayed with relatives and lived off beef stew and vegetables they grew in their garden.
"Meat was very inexpensive, and you could get really good beef for 15 cents per pound," Carter said. "We had an awful lot of stew."
The family went to Ventura High School baseball games for entertainment, she said.
Montalvo, a bustling neighborhood today, was tiny back then and "Everybody knew everybody," Carter said. The neighborhood held a few dozen houses, a meat market, hardware store and grocery on the corner of Grand Avenue and Ventura Boulevard, beside where Highway 101 now stands.
"There was no freeway then," she said. "The freeway did away with a lot."
A few years after moving to Ventura, Carter got a job working as a "soda jerk" at a malt shop.
In 1934, she married Paul Carter, who had been her boss at the lima-bean plant. The couple bought a furnished one-bedroom house on a half-acre lot on Sherwin Avenue for $17,000.
They lived there until World War II, when they went to Vallejo to work at a U.S. Navy submarine base.
"I was a Rosie the Riveter," Carter said. "I enjoyed getting up in the morning and getting dressed and going to work."
When the war ended, they were furloughed and they came back to Ventura to work in the civil service at Naval Base Ventura County in Port Hueneme. There, Carter eventually became a supervisor, overseeing the maintenance of punch-card machines.
Her husband died in 1980, but Carter has continued their tradition of visiting Laughlin, Nev., to play craps and gamble.
Last weekend, she and 40 friends celebrated her 100th birthday there.
"No one is more surprised than I that I've made it this long," Carter said.
Carter admits that when she looks around at Ventura County today, she's not too pleased. People are still scraping by, crime is higher and young people seem to be making bad decisions, she said.
"I'm not real happy with the world I'm looking at," she said. "The economy is bad, and people do not understand thrift the way I do. If you're working for 33 and 1/3 cents an hour, you're going to think twice about buying a cell phone. It's not a necessity."
Much of Ventura's open space has been bulldozed over in Carter's lifetime, and she worries that what's left of it will soon go, too.
"I tremble with fear that the beautiful fields I see between here and Santa Paula are going to be covered with roofs and cement," she said. "Our beautiful valley is being covered and it's really and truly a tragic crime to humanity."
Still, the centenarian remains hopeful for the future and gives "young sprouts" two pieces of advice: stay positive and stay out of debt.
"Try so hard to stay out of debt," she said. "Paying interest gets somebody else fat.
"But my biggest piece of advice is to have an upbeat attitude. Try to be pleasant with your friends and yourself. Really and truly, it makes a big difference."

Louis Leblanc had the Habs' first shot on goal against the Bruins at the Bell Centre, but that didn't prevent the Canadiens from including the West Island native from being among the first cuts.
Leblanc is sent packing back to the Hamilton Bulldogs after picking up an assist, 4 hits and 1 blocked shot in just under 15 minutes of icetime in the 6-3 loss to the Bruins.
The former 2009 1st-round draft pick earned the assist on the Habs' first goal of the game by Travis Moen that tied it 1-1 in the 1st period.
Leblanc is farmed out along with the likes of Morgan Ellis, Darren Dietz and Joonas Nattinen.
Zach Fucale, Martin Reway and Charles Hudon were all returned to their junior teams.
Michael McCarron (pictured) and Michael Bournival picked up two points apiece and were among the youngsters to raise eyebrows as the Canadiens took to the ice at the Bell Centre in their pre-season opener.
Bournival had a pair of goals and McCarron picked up two assists as the Habs fell 5-4 to the Buffalo Sabres in a shootout.
Bournival showed lots of ofensive spark out there and McCarron displayed some soft hands in setting up both Bournival and Martin St-Pierre. McCarron went hard along the boards to dish the puck out to Bournival for his first goal of the night. The Canadiens' top draft pick of this summer could also be found parked in the opposing crease; which is exactly where you want McCarron's 6-5 frame to be.
Two other players of note who impressed me up front were Martin Reway and Erik Nystrom: both showed plenty of finesse as ...
Having assumed the "NHL 14" fighting identity of Zdeno Chara and thrashing PK Subban in a gaming fight on video, George Parros has some advice for PK Subban.
Keep your gloves on. Let Big George drop the gloves.
The Habs' new weapon spoke at the launch party of EA Sports new game about PK, the Habs and his Montreal first impressions.
The face of "NHL 14" isn't sure if he's any bigger or stronger this season, but he's been pushed by his little brothers and is ready for the opening of Habs camp tomorrow.
PK Subban and George Parros hit Lamouche on St. Denis Monday night for the official EA Sports game launch and after laughing at his video game image being pounded by a Zdeno Chara clone, Subban spoke with me about the Olympics, the coming season and whether he's added any more muscle to his Norris Trophy frame.
Marc Bergevin admits a rookie can always force your hand, but it appears any newbie making the Habs' regular season roster will be the exceptional candidate.
There may be only 1 job opening among the Canadiens' 40 rookies closing out camp at Brossard today.
Marc Bergevin's assessment of their weekend first impressions:

New Hampshire Fish and Game officials are trying to determine what has caused a dramatic decrease in the moose population. Wildlife experts speculate changes in the environment, be it through parasites, disease or a different issue. Concern is growing because the dramatic decline has happened rapidly.
Crews will search in northern New Hampshire to tag a large portion of the moose that are left. They will tranquilize the moose, draw blood, and count and collect ticks. Moose tagging will probably occur between January 20 and February 2, 2014.
NH Fish and Game is worried the decline in numbers may be irrevocable.
"We hope to find out if natural mortality has increased since a similar study was done about ten years ago," explained Kristine Rines, NH Fish and Game's moose biologist.
Though hunting permits have also declined, hunting is partly to blame for the drop in moose numbers. The population has decreased 40% since the 1990s. Tick disease may also be to blame.
Crews will search via helicopter over New Hampshire communities looking for moose to tag in an effort to figure out what is causing the fast mortality of a quickly declining population.
The tagged moose will be tracked for four years while the experts follow how long the moose live and when they die. "We'll try to get there as soon as possible to determine cause of death," said Rines.

In the final week of black history month, Republicans in the state of Arizona tried to start the new Jim Crow but this time it's against the LGBT community. Although, Republican state legislators around the country are suppressing voting and other tactics to roll back American rights, this tactic was a big surprise in the 21st century America. The fact that a state would pass legislation to create second-class citizens in order to protect the religious bigots in this country is unconstitutional.
The bill was called SB 1062, if Janet Brewer governor of Arizona wouldn't have vetoed this legislation, then Arizona would've been ground-zero for civil rights. The bill could've made it easier for business owners to turn away gay and lesbian customers. This was a slippery slope to returning to the Jim Crow south, but according to the Civil Rights bill the Supreme Court would've struck it down anyway. Janet Brewer gave her reasons as to why she vetoed the bill, "Religious liberty is a core American and Arizona value, so is non-discrimination. The bill could divide Arizona in ways we cannot even imagine and no one would ever want." So, why are Republican states legislators hell-bent on passing these repressive bills?
Ever since Obama became president of the United States, the religious right has gone on a tirade. First, they hijacked the Republican party, taken over states and are now in the process of what they think are laws to protect the religious right from everyone such as minorities, women, the poor, and gays and lesbian community. They believe they're the only true citizens in this country, and their words come from god. This is why our founding fathers founded this country separated from the church and wrote the Constitution to protect the American people from these irrational ways of thinking.
Religious freedom doesn't mean you have the power to veto our constitution in order to discriminate against people you don't agree with. The fact of the matter is, the bible is not the law of the land. The United States doesn't have a national religion because the constitution states it respect all religions. For one religious sect to say, they're the real Americans and discrimination is the religious norm is nothing new in this country. Remember, these same religious people tried to use religious freedom to resume slavery, take away women rights, were the basics for Jim Crow and segregation and so on. Whenever someone states religious freedom then look out, they're trying to suppress someone's freedom.
This chapter in the new Republican party's push for religious freedom is coming to an end as for using the argument of religious freedom. Bills aimed at protecting business owners' to refuse service to individuals based on their religious beliefs faltered in Kansas, Ohio, Mississippi, South Dakota, Idaho, Georgia, and Tennessee. With the public in favor of marriage equality and the Supreme Court's decision striking down part of the Defense of Marriage Act equality for all is still heading in the right direction. A majority of Americans now favor same-sex marriage, in every region of the country except for the South.
Disinformation is still hurting the American people. According to a recent survey by the Public Religion Research Institute, 75% of Americans already think it is illegal under federal law to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation in employment. They're wrong, there is no federal law barring discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Most states don't ban it, including Arizona. People simply take for granted that it's the case because an overwhelming majority 72% think it should be. This is why there is still work to be done in this country, if everyone doesn't have equal rights, then no one is safe in this country from discrimination. America has come along ways in its history, and progress is still being made but there is still friction in the fight for equality for all.

Ireland's Golden Girl
2012-08-10 17:00:00
The Olympics are now in full swing and this week has been one of the best so far for the Irish athletes. On Monday evening Katie Taylor secured a place in the semi-finals and guaranteed herself at least a bronze medal as she beat Great Britain's Natasha Jones. Not content with the bronze she went on to beat Mavzuna Chorieva from Tajikistani on Wednesday to reach the lightweight Olympic final. And it was in this final against Russia's Sofia Sofya Ochigava that Katie really showed why she is Ireland's golden girl!
The final took place in the ExCel Arena in London on Thursday afternoon with the Irish fans making up most of the 10,000 strong audience. Back in Ireland, there were thousands gathered in Katie's hometown of Bray to cheer her on while the others were packing pubs and restaurants across the country as Ireland pretty much came to a standstill at 4.45pm. It was a tough match for Katie and although she was the favourite to win there were moments in the fight where I wasn't sure that she would. At the very end there was an unbearable wait to find out who had won but as the referee raised Katie's hand the cheers from the fans were deafening as they realized she had just won a gold medal for Ireland.
The fans turned out again today to show support for the men as Paddy Barnes and John Joe Nevin both competed in semi-finals in their weight divisions. Although Paddy put up a good fight he eventually lost to Zou Shiming of China on countback but will not go home empty handed as he will be awarded a bronze medal. John Joe will still have a chance at gold as he defeated his opponent Lazaro Alvarez Estrada and will go on to fight in the final tomorrow. We'll have another chance at the final tonight as Michael Conlon competes in the semi-final where he will face Robeisy Ramirez Carrazana.
Of course it wasn't just in the boxing that Ireland won medals in this week as Cian O'Connor was awarded a bronze medal in the individual jumping event on Wednesday. Considering he wasn't even supposed to be in the final and only got a call last minute it was a surprising but well deserved medal.
Hope you all have a great weekend now that the sun is finally shining and make sure to route for my home county Galway as they take on Cork in the All-Ireland Hurling semi-final on Sunday!

Dec. 14, 1968
Score By Quarters Humboldt State 0 16 7 6 - 29 Fresno State 7 0 7 0 - 14SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The eighth annual Camellia Bowl, played in a muddy Hughes Stadium in Sacramento, Calif., produced a Fresno State defeat as the Bulldogs fell to the Humboldt State Lumberjacks 29-14.
Scoring FS- Walt Jensen, 1 run (Ken Casida kick) HSU-Mike Cremer, 1 run (Dave Banducci kick) HSU-Banducci, 27 FG HSU-Banducci, 45 FG HSU-Banducci, 37 FG FS-Jensen, 1 run (Casida kick) HSU-Don Del Grande, 30 pass from Jim Costello (Banducci kick) HSU-Dennis Sousa, 4 pass from Banducci (kick failed) Attendance: 8,168
Blocking three Lumberjack kicks would generally predict a Fresno State win, but the Bulldogs' 12 turnovers, seven intercepted passes and five fumbles made up the difference. The California Collegiate Athletic Association champion Bulldogs' effort was stunted even more with out-of-service phone communication between the press box coaching staff and field staff.
Despite the confusion, the Bulldogs opened the scoring by Tony Welch blocking a Lumberjack punt. Welch recovered the ball and ran it to the Humboldt State 5 where Walt Jensen drove it in to score and Ken Casida nailed the extra point.
With a seven point deficit the Lumberjacks, 10-1 and Far Western Conference champions, capitalized on the Bulldogs' offensive glitches and phone service problems coming from behind to take a 16-7 lead heading into the half.
The second half was more of the first as the Bulldogs came out strong. Jack Olson intercepted a likely TD pass from Lumberjack Dennis Sommer and ran the length of the field to set the 'Dogs up on the Humboldt State 1-yard line. Jensen scored and Casida converted cutting the spread to Humboldt State 16, Fresno State 14.
The Lumberjacks avenged the Bulldog seven with a Costello pass to Don Del Grande who found the endzone. Casida converted for the 23-14 lead.
Humboldt was not finished yet however finding Sousa crossing into Fresno State territory on a 4-yard pass from Banducci. The extra point sailed wide cementing the final score Humboldt State 29, Fresno State 14.

I just can't keep silent about this one. London's always pleasing Moton Records have been releasing tape looped edits since the 90's, ranging anywhere from Jazz and Disco to Afrobeat and just leftfield stuff. This time around it's the reigning champs Dave Jarvis and Darren House behind Diesel Jarvis who are serving up cuts piping hot. Moton's 33rd release "Nite Dance/Ce Soir/This Man" is absolutely funky complete with slow churning grooviness. Take for example the stand out track, Nite Dance. Essentially it's Giorgio Moroder's "Night Drive" but remodeled and fitted to a four/four, hard hitting burner. What kills me is the low brassy bass juxtaposed with slinky orchestration and cowbell on evey hit. All of a sudden the music stops and you get a solo kick keeping time. Absolute brilliance.

1934, Monroe, Louisiana, USA. McCalls haunting hypnotic Nothing Takes The Place Of You (number 5 R&B) was one of the highlights of a golden year in soul, 1967. Six other singles followed and one album but McCall could not recapture the magic of that one hit. He attempted to revive his career in 1976 with an album on McGowan, but it met with little acceptance. In 1988 he made a surprise appearance in the John Waters film Hairspray, where his lip-sync cameo to Nothing Can Take The Place Of You, was a most memorable moment, even if it was outside the timeframe of the movie.
