text: Jun 17, 2014 22:21 No guarantee, no problem: Ingram has to earn his future with Saints No guarantee, no problem: Ingram has to earn his future with Saints Advocate staff photo by ELIOT KAMENITZ -- Khiry Robinson, left, has the ball stolen from him by Mark Ingram as they warm up before the New Orleans Saints players participate in the Black and Gold Hoops Challenge III basketball game Wednesday at the Jefferson Playground gym. The Saints' opponents were local police officers, firefighters and military members. The event benefits team ambassador/former kick return specialist Michael Lewis' Striding For Your Dreams Foundation, dedicated to mentoring young adults; and the healthcare-oriented nonprofit 'Get Checked or Check Out!' BY RAMON ANTONIO VARGAS| firstname.lastname@example.com June 4, 2014; 10:21 p.m. Comments Running back Mark Ingram and defensive end Cameron Jordan are close. Not only are they friends and fellow 2011 first-round draft picks for the Saints, but their lockers are next to each other at their team's practice facility. They sat next to one another on the bench while participating at a charity basketball game at Jefferson Playground on Wednesday when there were a dozen other seats they could've chosen. Lesser friends might have let it be a point of tension when the Saints in by late April exercised an option to keep Jordan through 2015 and give him a substantial raise but didn't do the same with Ingram, though they could have. But not these two. These two have already forgotten it. "You don't think about what's guaranteed the next year," said Jordan, a first-time Pro Bowler in January whose base salary from 2014 to 2015 will jump from $1.44 million to $6.97 million. "I'm worried about this first upcoming preseason game (at) the Rams (on Aug. 8). I'm worried about the first regular-season game ... in Atlanta (on Sept. 7). "Because honestly, we both need a (Super Bowl) ring on our fingers. That's what we really need." Ingram — whose base salary would've gone from $1.39 million in 2014 to $5.21 million in 2015 had his option been activated — seemed equally at peace with the situation. "We had a good conversation, and they love me as a player," said the former Heisman Trophy winner and BCS champion out of Alabama when asked to describe what kind of talks he had with the Saints when they passed on his option. "They want me to be here. It's just the number is a lot higher than what most running backs get on the free-agent level." Ingram added that he's not looking at the upcoming season as an opportunity to make the Saints regret the decision they made with him. His focuses are simple as he toils through voluntary organized team activities and a mandatory minicamp in June: "Getting in the playbook. Do the best I can every game. Help us win games, and everything will take care of itself." Things had definitely started taking care of themselves for Ingram at the end of the last season. After gaining a paltry 31 yards on 17 carries during the first two weeks of the 2013 regular season, he sat out the next five games with a toe injury. But he returned for the last nine games of the season, averaging 5.8 yards a carry to gain 355 yards and score a touchdown on 61 rushes. Then, in the postseason, Ingram tallied 5.2 yards per attempt for 146 yards on 28 carries and another touchdown in two playoff games before the Saints were eliminated. Ingram lost a fumble in the season-ending playoff defeat at Seattle. Yet he piled up 97 of his playoff yards in a 26-24 wildcard-round victory at Philadelphia the week before to help the Saints claim the first true road postseason win in franchise history, in frigid temperatures few believed New Orleans could handle. "Mark rushed for (almost) 100 yards in the postseason when we needed it the most," said Jordan, whose 12.5 quarterback sacks during the 2013 regular season led the Saints and were the fifth most in the NFL. "It's like 17 degrees outside, and he goes off for (nearly) 100 yards. "When he has games like that, it really puts it into perspective. As long as you persevere, eventually your talent is going to shine out." Jordan reached out to Ingram and slapped hands with him as he spoke those words. Acknowledging that 2014 suddenly represented a contract year for him when the deadline for his option lapsed, Ingram denied feeling any more pressure to perform than usual. "It's all part of the business, coming into a ... free-agent year," Ingram said. "I'm excited to get going and show what I can do." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

How to: Tie the Resetting Ring Rig
In this instructional article, Ian Gemson shows you how to tie a Ring (or Blowback) Rig.
The Ring Rig or Blowback Rig is a great rig if you find you are getting plenty of bites but not actually hooking any carp. The idea behind the rig is the ring allows the bait free movement so when a carp blows or moves the bait it moves very naturally.
This free movement also allows the hook to move independantly of the bait which means when the carp has the bait in its mouth the hook point will always drop and present itself in the ideal hooking position greatly increasing your chances of a solid hook hold in the bottom lip.
What you will need
Tools: Sharp braid scissors, braid stripper, baiting needle, rig pullers
Longshank hooks and coated braid hooklength
Heat shrink and bait stops
Fine Diameter silicone tube and micro rig rings
Step 1: Cut enough coated braid hook length for you to be able to work comfortably with the braid, about 30-35cm is fine. Then using the braid stripper tool, strip about 12cm of coating off the braid.
Step 2: Double the stripped braid over on itself and form a simple overhand knot, do not pull the knot tight yet. Insert the two rig pullers into the loop and the center of the knot now use the pullers to minimise the waste tag end and form the correct size loop to suit the size of bait to be used.
Step 3: Using a fine baiting needle carefully put the needle throught the middle of the bait.
Step 4: Thread the bait onto the hair and add the hair stop to prevent the bait from coming off the hair.
Step 5: Slip a micro rig ring onto the hooklength over the stripped portion of the coated braid. Now tie a single over hand knot with the ring in the middle of the knot.
Step 6
Put the baiting needle into the micro rig ring and pull the ring along the braid to set the hair length.
Step 7: Tie a second overhand knot to fully lock the micro rig ring in place.
Step 8: Now pull the ring over the hook point and pull the hooklength through the back of the eye on the hook.
Step 9: With the micro rig ring in the correct position on the shank of the hook opposite the barb measure the silicone tube next to the hook and cut the tube to the correct length.
Step 10 & 11: Slide the cut piece of fine bore silicone tube onto the hooklength and down until it stops against the micro rig ring.
Step 12: Tie your standard Knotlees knot.
Step 13: Add a small peice of tight fitting heatshrink tube to the eye of the hook.
Step 14: With the heat shrink steamed over the kettle and pulled forward whilst cooling you should end up with a rig looking like this.
Step 15: Double over the opposite end of the coated braid and tie and overhand knot to form your loop. Lubricate the knot with saliva when you pull the knot tight.
Step 16: With the rig complete use the puller bars to fully test the rig and knots. Your rig should now look like this.
I hope you enjoyed making this rig, good luck with your fishing.
Tight lines!

am I being fik ...................I dont understand the silicon which to me will stop the ring moving down the hook to the eye leaving the hook to "hook"That was my first thought. I thought the idea was for the ring to position the hair to come of near the bend but to allow free movent along the shank to reduce likelyhood of ejection. Sure the way it is shown has the same effect of putting a long piece of shring tube all the way along the shank to position and fisx the hair???
I wouldnt use that ....................I would.....
If i was going to fish it with a long hair, i would remove the rig ring, and the long length of shrink tubing on the shank of the hook, and replace them both with a small piece of tubing set at the bottom of the hook shank near were the bend of the hook starts. Sorry i don't have a picture of it.but then it wouldn't blow back - ian's has got soft silicon in between ring and eye so it should fold up. it's there to ensure the ring is in the right position when the bait is sucked in.
i wasn't suggesting using shrink tube? i was commenting on Ians rig that uses soft silicon. Also, it isn't trapping the hair against the hook if you look carefully at it.Ah, i see, my apologies :D
ian's has got soft silicon in between ring and eye so it should fold up. it's there to ensure the ring is in the right position when the bait is sucked in.I still can't see how the silicone tube can "fold" back, it still has braid running through it! Sorry but I see it as just another article..........
I still can't see how the silicone tube can "fold" back, it still has braid running through it! Sorry but I see it as just another article..........it should fold, as will the braid - but I do agree that its a bit un-necessary....
I only ever use these now for pop-ups and 50/50 snowmen, mind, as the boily will lift the ring to it's full stretch automatically. I'm not always sure that this has happened with a bottom boilyit'll happen as the fish sucks the bait in.

it would have to be very soft tubing to fold backEven the softest at such a short length couldn't fold back. Try it with some, I just have.
wrong stuff, you want ultra mega special super soft carpsilicone.Indeed you do, A bargain at 9.99 a metre:p

GREENVILLE, N.C. - The East Carolina track and field team will look to continue its successful outdoor season run as the Pirates head west to compete at the Charlotte Invitational. The two-day meet begins on Thursday, April 18 and will conclude on Friday, April 19.
The Pirates are coming off of a pair of meets at the Joe Hilton UNC Invitational and the Sea Ray Relays hosted by the University of Tennessee.
Kayla Padgett and Krista Vincent were individual event winners at the Joe Hilton Invitational as Padgett bettered her previous personal record mark by 15 feet after notching a career-best throw of 57.07m (187-03.00) in the hammer throw. The sophomore now ranks fourth on the ECU Women's Outdoor Top 10 list. Vincent won the women's javelin with a career-best toss of 43.55m (142-10.00).
At the Sea Ray Relays, several Pirates recorded personal records. Tiffany Harris claimed second in the women's 200-meter dash preliminaries with a career-best qualifying time of 23.97. Harris' time is also good for sixth on the ECU Women's Outdoor Top 10 list. Additionally, Cameron Hudson earned a fifth-place finish in the 200-meter dash preliminaries with a personal-best time of 21.20 before placing seventh in the finals with a time of 21.85. He also had a fourth-place finish in the long jump after notching a mark of 7.26m (23-10.00).
The Pirates will use the Charlotte Invitational to continue preparing for the upcoming Conference USA Outdoor Championships which are less than a month away. The C-USA Outdoor Championships will be held in Houston, Texas beginning Thursday, May 9. The four-day competition will wrap up on Sunday, May 12.

Sylvester Stallone is ripped….
How old do you think he is now ? He is 65!! Can you believe it?
He looks amazing for his age! If all older guys w0uld take care of their bodies like he does… lol
The man has 3 action movies comming out in 2012, I bet he'll stay fit!
Do you find him hot? Would you do him? Or let him do you?
Check him out after the jump!
He could do me….
25 years ago, FUCK YEA!!
Nope and wouldn't have done him back then either.
He is good looking for 65. Would not search him out but would not turn him away.
Hell No! Yuck! Have never thought he looked good. Nasty!
He could scream Adrian in my ear as he pounds me relentlessly!
It's easy to take care of your body when you're phenomenally wealthy, can hire personal trainers and private chefs and buy HGH and testosterone injections.
He is so phine, he could do me anytime. He could fuck me all night long.
I'd like to "Rambo" him. LOL
He's def not a bad looking guy for his age at all. But I don't find him attractive in a sexual way.
I would be glad to fuck him til his big explosion.
I'm not shy, fuck me Sly. Love feeling him inside me.
Give him facial hair and it's a maybe.
Oh hell yeah!
Have you guys seen him in the Italian Stallon. It is in fact a porn. Tiny tiny weenie. 😉
Ug, no. And don't we all remember that film clip years ago that showed his teenie weenie.
I've personally never found him hot ,not even in his younger days
He can absolutely do me. DILF.
Ew…absolutely not.
I would hop on him so quick that his dick wouldnt even feel the underware rip. and I would be begging him to fuck like a piston!
he's gotten hotter with age.
I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole…
i would do him
He could do me anytime
No Thanks !
No I wouldn't do him and No I wouldn't let him do me..
sorry no way
second thought, he can do me anytime anywhere all day all night oh yea
I would let him do me…hard! Lol
Oh Sly… give me your family stones and bone. Who cares about his age.
Why not! He would be fun. He is really ripped..Love to make him moan
I could think of so MANY other men that you should be asking that question about. Don't even think Sly's name would ever come up.
HELL YEA i WOULD DO HIM AND SWALLOW EVERY DROP OF CUM HE SHOOT OUT OF HIS COCK!
Nah he is not my type, he looks like a piece of dried leather. Don't get me wrong I like both older & younger guys, but he doesn't do it for me.
if he was in his 20's yes.
of course i'd do him…. he has a small one….(soft anyway), don't matter. remember the 'spread' he did years ago?
I'll take a pass on ol' Sly, but I'd totally do Arnold Schwartzanegger, but only the Ah-nuld from the 70s. lol
NO! He has a "small cock!"
Younger him…yes lol
i would love to but can he still get hard and how muchsergery did he have big muscals some time mean small cock
I would do him if he kept his mouth shut, or let me shove my cock in it. His persona is what i find unappealing
I dunno, I was never really attracted to him.
Naw. he's hot though. I wanna be just like him when I grow up.
Of course I would he's a friggin movie star!
Hell, no. He is botox, testosterone, and steroids gone gad.
You shouldn't have asked that question. That's kind of insensitive.
With the amount of steroids the man has taken, his cock's probably smaller than a peanut.
I would so suck his cock and he could fuck me anyday of the week. He's not as hot as he once was, but just to get between those thighs would be hot to me. Heck yes, anyway he'd want it !
Looks like a lot of PLASTIC to me ……
Yes I would!
Only if he doesn't talk, his voice grates on my last nerve…
Does he have to talk?? If not, then maybe it could be done.
Not in any way, shape or form …………..
He is pushing the limits, but time is still time ……
We could totally fuck like wild dogs!!!!!
He can spit in my ass and do me.
hell no!
do not know about doing him OH hell yes I would. really like to look at him Wished I looked that good. mmmmmmmmmmm
Eww. Hell no. One of the worse looking guys….ever
Always had a crush on the younger Slyvester from his Tango and Cash days. I had dreamed of being Kurt Russell in that brief shower scene in the movie!
Absolutely not.
No I don't think I would do it. There is something extremely unappealing about a man who is as old as my grandparents.
I let him do me maybe he could tun me on to some of the testostrone shots he take . if your ric=h and you dont look good then its your own fault ..
he does look good for his age and maybe if I was drunk enough and lonely, he starting to look like Jacky Chan, maybe I'll have a threesome with both, lol
No I will not. He is hot and all that but I think I pass
Personally, I think he looks AWFUL! Yes his body is in great shape, but ya gotta put a bag over that face.
Not so much. I don't care about the body, or the age. The face just ain't working for me at all.
i would so do him
I do him, he does me, it's all good!
Nope, YUCK, LOL
No but I don't go for older men
30 years ago….HELL YEAH WOuldv'e loved to romp with Rambo or Rocky….Now ehhhh not so much. He was hot then but now ahhhh I will just say not so much 😉
Yes I would do him and have him do me too.Maybe a 69 would be good
He could DO ME ANYTIME. I would wrestle him for top and if I lose I still win….
that would be a hell to the no!
Id do him that is……if you have a nice bag for his head.
Hell yes, either way, tried for years to find a copy of his porn flick, Itallion Stallion
A group of friends and I were staying at the same hotel in Rio De Janeiro as Stallone in 2008: he was scouting locations for an upcoming film. He would be front and center at breakfast, facing incoming diners- which is cool. While I never saw him as he breakfasted later than I, my friends were aghast: "What happened to his face? Did he have plastic surgery in order to look horrible?" Rio being the plastic surgery capital of the world, the front desk filled us in that he'd had cosmetic surgery to look fantastic on camera…but the facial planes necessary for that were not ones that by any means looked good in real life. Very sad indeed. His body looks fantastic, at least in pics.
hell yes, I think he is hot! and kind of a great actor except for the rocky crap, lol, really nice body and if you have had a chance to see it the cock is fine as well!!!
In a heartbeat!!
I've always found him to be fit, ripped, with a hot body, that I had absolutely NO SEXUAL connection to…I think he's hot, but I would not do him.
I would not do him or let him do me since all of his plastic surgery…he just looks to fake now…LOL
I'm sure there's chemical assistance involved.
I would so do him especially now he looks his best
yes..i would do him..but hes going to do me too…
He's got a nice bod, thanks to all the steroids. I suppose I'd let him do me, but I wonder what all the juice has done to his dick!
Nope! I'm not a size queen, but he's waaaaaaaay too tiny for me!
i would do whatever he wanted to do!!
He is one of the few men that I feel has aged gracefully. Hell yea I'd let him do me
Why? did he ask about me? Yep, we are about the same age I would prob do him!
He could do me as long as he wanted to.
I do him in a minute have you ever seen that video of where he ia young puuk doing porn. hot his hot Ive fantasied many a time about ol Sly buddy
HELL NAH…HE UGLY…DA FCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? Sheeee-it!
Fuck no! Not at all a stud, just a dud. EWWW!
Never done anything for me and teenie weenie would not bother me if anything else turned me on. Might be a keeper but you can keep him
I just want to cuddle then …..
I would blow him and swallow his cum. Just to say I did it!
I'm curious what he looks like without the face & body makeup, hair dye (toupee?), etc. Tony Curtis looked great *in makeup* with his wig; you'd hardly recognize him without all of it.
i saw the Italian Stallion
he had such a small one it looked like a little boys cock
and no i wouldnt do him or let him do me either
He was, is, and always will be The Italian Stallion. God-willing, we'll all be 65 someday. And when we are, if we look half as good as Sly does now, we'll be lucky. Oh — and yes, I'd do (and be done) by him.
No way!
Never had the hots for this guy, though he keeps himself in great shape for a real short man.
He doesn't have a dick, u can see it on his old porn flick he did many years ago.
I loved him from the first moment I laid eyes on him in 1975. I know we will never meet but if by some crazy twist of fate we are brought together I would worship him like the god he is!!!! I will love him till the day I die and then for all eternity.
In a heartbeat I would lie with him and bevtotally absorbedbin the momentbwrapped in his arms with our legs intertwined and our bofybheatvwarming each other to the point of explosion. I would love to just kiss and swp spit with him for hours! I love big, dark men andvhe fitscthe bill to a t.
For Sure. Of age men are much more mature,professional and seductive.
HELL NO> This guy is disgusting looking, are you guys blind or truly so desperate even your fantasies don't have to be attractive?.
Gramps needs to lay off the plastic surgery, his eyes just keep looking more and more fucked up.
oh hell yeah!!! any way shape or form! and size doesnt matter to me!
I'd fuck Sty. Even though I'm a top, I'd even let him fuck me! Hell yeah!
I do him for the novelty of fucking rambo
I usually have a rule to not do anyone older than my parents, but; come on … it's Sly Stallone. I would do him just to say I did!
it seems that the consensus of the posts in here are leaning towards no but i would let sylvester stallione (my pet name for him) do me in a heartbeat. to be 65 he looks amazing and for those going on about him having plastic surgery, so the fuck what? most of the folks in HOLLOWwood can't stand in direct sunlight as it is because they'd friggin' melt! sly still looks good and for the record so does ah-nold "the governator" schwarzenegger, and jean-claude van damme, two other 80's action stars i'd let take turns passing me around like a fuck toy lol!
HELL YESS I WOULD, lol first time for everything
I'm a Top, but i'd let him fuck me, AFTER i fuck Him…
Ewww hell no lmao :p

Most of us have used the traditional chisel tip, neon highlighters at one point. Nowadays though, there are a lot of different writing tools you can use for highlighting your notes, or just emphasizing things that need to be remembered. For other tips on note-taking strategies, check out this article.
Items used in these examples:
- Uni-ball 207 Retractable Gel Ink Pen - 0.7 mm - Pink
- Zebra Sarasa Study Gel Ink Pen - 0.5 mm - Red
- Pilot Color Eno Mechanical Pencil - 0.7 mm - Blue Body - Blue Lead
- Uni-ball Propus Window Soft Color Highlighter - 4.0 mm / 0.6 mm Twin Tip - Lavender Purple
Other than your traditional neon-colored highlighters, the same tool now comes in softer colors! The Uni-ball Propus Window Soft Color Highlighter in particular has the cool feature of a window inside the felt tip, which allows you to view exactly where your highlighted line is going.
It also has a fine tip on the end, which is great for underlining or even writing some notes.
Another great tool for underlying things that you want to emphasize or stand out, is simply a fine tipped gel pen. Gel pens are nice tools to use for color-coding your notes, and allow you to highlight items without covering them completely in color, and even take side notes in margins if you need to.
Our last tip involves the use of mechanical colored pencils. This has the same use as gel pens, but you can also color in things with pencils easily.
The best thing about this method is that you can erase any marks made if you need to!

Justin Bieber was tested positive for pot and Xanax, according to a Jan. 30 CNN report. The pop singer was also under the influence of alcohol when police stopped him for drag racing along Miami Beach last week.
Bieber said to the police officer, "Yeah, we were smoking all night at the studio." The officer said that Bieber "reeked of marijuana" in the patrol car, according to police documents released on Thursday.
The police officer also described the singer as "cocky," "insulting," "talkative," and "excited." He also used profanity towards the officer.
Bieber failed series of sobriety tests. He appeared glazed over with his pupils dilated. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was flush, the documents said.
The toxicology report said it tested positive for alprazolam, the name for the prescription Xanax. He also tested positive for "metabolite of THC" which is marijuana.
Justin Bieber is facing felonies all over North America. He's set to appear in court on Feb. 14 for his drag racing incident in Miami-Dade County. He's also expected to attend Toronto court on March 10 for his assault charge.

NV reopening in downtown Orlando
One of my favorite lounges in downtown Orlando is opening back up.
NV, now called NV Lounge will be opening some time in March. Jeff Gitto, has partnered with Curt Littlecott and Stephanie Rounds to reopen the space that will keep the "soul of NV" according to Gitto.
"Everything will stay the same," he says.
Well, with the exception of the hours. Something new to NV? Consistent opening and closing times, which will most likely be Wednesday – Saturday from 5 0r 6 p.m. – 2 a.m.
You may recognize Gitto's name, he's also co-owner of Vintage Lounge and Vixen on Orange Avenue in downtown Orlando.
NV is one of my favorite spaces in downtown Orlando, and one of my favorite features — the rooftop — may open again too but not until the summer (if it happens). Right now Littlecott and Rounds' office is on the third floor (they also run the nu visions photography studio) so that needs to be worked out.
You can get a sneak peek of the space at 27 E. Pine Street on Feb. 17 when it has a soft opening.

The Boardman girls bowling team began their season with the goal of repeating last year by qualifying for the state competition. They not only qualified this year, but went on to win the state championship for the first time in Boardman School history. On top of that, the girls also broke the state high school tournament record for a single game with a score of 1,102, shattering the previous mark of 1,039 set by Centerville High School in 2007.
The girls were led by junior Tiffany Terlecki with a 642 series, Ciarra Moran with a 639 series, and Amanda Van Fossan with a 615 series.
The girls' road to state was apparent after the Northeast Ohio District Qualifying Tournament on Feb. 28. The Boardman girls placed second with a score of 3,877 to Canton Glen Oak's 3,891. Minerva, Hudson and Hubbard rounded out the top five state-bound teams from the region.
"It was an amazing season for the girls," said BHS head voach Al Dohar, "they are a special group of female athletes who simply never gave in to the pressures of the moment. When one of them was struggling, someone else would step in and rise to the top. They were dedicated to winning it all, and that's exactly what they did. Myself, my entire coaching staff and the Boardman High School Athletic Department salute their championship season."
The girls finished the regular season at 15-0 and earned the Federal League championship title for the second consecutive year. They also took first at sectionals.

Pittsburgh Steelers' Plaxico Burress (80) hauls in a first quarter touchdown pass from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger as he falls out of bounds in front of New England Patriots' Eugene Wilson (26) in NFL action Sunday, Oct. 31, 2004 in Pittsburgh.
AP Photo PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have everything going for them as they await their second-round NFL playoff opponent. They have momentum, confidence, victories over the powerhouse Patriots and Eagles and one of the best records in NFL history.
This, too: The only rookie quarterback in league history to go unbeaten for an entire season as his team's primary starter.
They've even got a renovated Bus to carry them over any speed bumps that might arise in the playoffs, where coincidental good luck may be on their side, too. After all, this is the 25th anniversary of their 1970s dynasty's fourth and final Super Bowl championship.
Yet while it might seem the Steelers (15-1) are on the fast lane to the fifth ring they've chased since Terry Bradshaw still was their quarterback, they have been down this road before.
It may have traveled through the middle of Pittsburgh, but it didn't lead to the Super Bowl.

Roethlisberger did what John Unitas, Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Brett Favre and every other NFL quarterback never managed by winning The Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year award, Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2004. The first quarterback to win the honor since its inception in 1957, Roethlisberger did so unanimously, the second straight rookie to get all the votes.

"We can't lose sight of how we got here," coach Bill Cowher said.
Or, perhaps, of how many times they've been detoured.
Four times since Cowher's first season as coach in 1992, the Steelers also owned a first-round bye and home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs -- after the 1992, 1994, 1997 and 2001 seasons. Not once did they reach the Super Bowl.
They got there after the 1995 season as a lower-seeded team, but have lost three of the four AFC championship games played in Pittsburgh in the last 10 years. The most recent loss came three years ago, when New England turned two Steelers special teams breakdowns into a 24-17 upset.
It's not as if 2001 has become a rallying cry in the Steelers' filled-with-confidence locker room, but wide receiver Hines Ward and running back Jerome "The Bus" Bettis said it's kept their minds on the challenge at hand.
So should this fact: Only two of the 14 top-seeded AFC teams since 1990 have won the Super Bowl: Denver (1998 season) and New England (last season).
"You appreciate it now because you know how hard it is to go through a whole year and get home field advantage, to get the bye week," Ward said. "We learned a lot from that 2001 team. In 2001, we were just living the moment. We didn't know the magnitude of the playoffs then."
A few locker stalls down, Plaxico Burress was saying much the same thing.
"When things like that happen to you, it kind of wakes you up," he said. "It sends the antenna up, that you don't want anything like that to ever happen again. We were just out there playing football, not really realizing the opportunity we had."
If any of the younger Steelers want to know about squandered opportunities, they should wander over to cornerback Willie Williams' locker.
He can tell them how a Three Rivers Stadium meeting room shook with loud music during an ill-advised rehearsal for a Super Bowl rap video before the AFC title game against San Diego in January 1995. Final score: Chargers 17, Steelers 13.
The Patriots were similarly energized three years ago upon learning the Steelers briefly discussed Super Bowl logistics before playing them.
"I don't see us doing that," Burress said, referring to any possible playoff missteps. "I see us being focused on the things we have to do. We have more mature guys, a lot of veteran guys, than there were in 2001."
Twenty Steelers, plus two on the injured reserve list, remain from the 2001 team. To the Steelers, that's 22 good reasons why they should wend their way through a competitive AFC field and make it to Jacksonville, where they won a regular season game only last month.
"We never have taken anything for granted," Cowher said. "It has been a very unselfish team and we have an identity that we are going to enter the playoffs with. We are going to focus on the next game, because that is how we got here."
That's why, despite his 13-0 record, and the franchise's 14-game winning streak, rookie quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said the Steelers must remember they are 0-0.
"It's a great accomplishment," he said. "We've had fun with it. How many teams can say that (they were 15-1)? But right now, as far we're concerned, we're going into a brand new season."
Or, as Cowher said, "The journey begins."
By now, the Steelers should know the route.

The Best Jazz Tracks of the Month
Regular visitors to our domain—I just love the sound of that word; makes me feel like a feudal lord. . . . Anyway, regular visitors to our domain, know that we sift through the stacks of CDs released on the market, and pick 5 noteworthy tracks every week for our Song of the Day feature.
Our selections from January include familiar names such as Matthew Shipp (today's featured artist), Joshua Redman, Charlie Hunter and Keith Jarrett, but also lesser known musicians deserving of your attention.
Among my favorite "neglected gems" of the month:
• Radio.String.Quartet.Vienna plays Joe Zawinul's music with an aural palette that even Zawinul himself, that master of synthesized sound colors, would have found surprising.
• Organist Brian Charette's CD Missing Floor is a very exciting outing, and features Leon Gruenbaum on his ingenious samchillian—a cleverly constructed instrument that you simply must hear if you haven't had the pleasure. (Musicians are encouraged to check out the video here.)
• The Jazz Arts Trio realizes some Platonic ideal of tribute jazz by recreating piano trio recordings from the past in exacting detail.
• Ablaye Cissoko and Volker Goetze demonstrate that you can build fascinating music out of the unusual combination of kora and trumpet.
• And, of course, there is "Blue Monk," "Yellow Mountain," and various other shades of the jazz rainbow.
Below are links to the reviews of this month's batch o' tracks. As always, the reviews come with full recording info, a pithy assessment, a rating from 0 to 100, and a link for (legal) downloading.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Gordon, Joe (Joseph Henry)
Trumpeter Joe Gordon valued the quality of the melodic line over pompous brassy flashiness, an affinity he shared with his 1950s contemporaries Miles Davis, Blue Mitchell, and Kenny Dorham. But like Bix and Brownie before him, and Lee Morgan after him, Gordon died tragically during the prime of his career.
Gordon played with an introverted and somewhat pinched tone, especially in his high range, and a controlled lyricism and smooth delivery makes his playing cool and comforting. He would often use intentionally lazy articulation and would occasionally end phrases by dropping the tonal center of the final note a touch flat. Both of these techniques emphasized the casualness of his playing, but never detracted from his energetic swing and ability to drive a rhythm section during his improvisations.
Joseph Henry Gordon was born an only child to non-musical parents in Boston, Massachussetts on May 15, 1928. He developed an early interest in classical music by attending recitals with his mother, an amateur singer. As a teenager, he became a fan of Count Basie's band, taking a strong liking to trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison.
At age 15, Gordon caught a live performance by the Coleman Hawkins/Don Byas group, which featured the trumpeter "Little" Benny Harris. Gordon was impressed by Harris and the burgeoning bebop sound, and his interest in jazz deepened. Soon after, he signed up for a modern music class at the New England Conservatory taught by trumpeter Fred Berman, whom he would later credit for much of his success.
Gordon took a job as a sandwich boy on the railroad between Boston and Albany; he would take his trumpet along the ride to play in jam sessions in each city as often as he could. By 1947 he quit his rail job and secured his first gig, playing with vibraphonist Pete Diggs' band in Akron, Ohio.
Back in Boston, pianist and bandleader Sabby Lewis heard him play at the Boston Savoy and offered him a position in his in-demand local band. This high-profile gig led to many more opportunities in Boston for the young Gordon, including his first record session with alto saxophonist Charlie Mariano in December 1951, which was released on CD in 1990 as Boston All-Stars.
In the early 1950s Gordon played with vibraphonist Lionel Hampton, tenor saxophonist Georgie Auld, and Don Redman. The young trumpeter also had the opportunity to perform with Charlie Parker when the alto legend came through Boston in December 1952. The brilliant group—including pianist Dick Twardzik, bassist Charles Mingus, and drummer Roy Haynes - was recorded at the Hi-Hat for a radio broadcast and later released on CD by Original Jazz Classics in 1990 as Boston 1952.
More noteworthy sideman gigs followed in the mid-1950s. Gordon spent six months in a pre-Jazz Messengers group led by Art Blakey which also featured Gigi Gryce on alto, Walter Bishop Jr. on piano, and Bernie Griggs on bass. The group's studio date from May 20, 1954 has been released by Verve on CD as Blakey.
Gordon led his first two record dates in New York on September 3 and 8, 1954. Released on Mercury, Introducing Joe Gordon, whichfeatured tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, pianist Junior Mance, bassist James Schenk, and Blakey on drums. Gordon, who contributed four out of the six compositions, has spotty control issues, but overall his playing is fresh and lyrical on this solid debut.
Gordon was freelancing in Boston for the majority of 1955 into 1956 when he received a call to join Dizzy Gillespie's big band for a tour of the Middle East and Eastern Europe in the spring of 1956. He can be heard on Gillespie's The World Statesman and Dizzy in Greece.
Back in New York City for a run at Birdland with Gillespie, Gordon made a session with pianist Horace Silver on July 2, 1956. He appears on three tracks on the album Silver's Blue along with Hank Mobley, Doug Watkins, and Kenny Clarke.
The Gillespie group took off for a State-sponsored tour of South America later in July. Though he was given a prized break solo space on Dizzy's classic "A Night in Tunisia," Gordon was reportedly unhappy over what he perceived to be a lack of opportunity to blow in the group. This combined with Gillespie's dislike of his heroin use forced Gordon off of the tour early, on July 25, 1956. Whether he quit or was fired remains in question.
Gordon returned to Boston to lead a group of his own before joining trumpeter Herb Pomeroy's big band. He stayed with Pomeroy until May 1958 when he moved out to Los Angeles.
With his lyrical style and cool delivery, Gordon naturally became an in-demand sideman on the west coast, working with notable leaders such as Benny Carter, Dexter Gordon, Harold Land, and Barney Kessel. In 1959-1960 he was a member of drummer Shelly Manne's quintet, which also included Richie Kamuca on tenor, pianist Victor Feldman, and Monty Budwig on bass. The group recorded at the Blackhawk in San Francisco on September 22-24, 1959 and released Shelly Manne & His Men at the Blackhawk Vols. 1-5 on Contemporary. Many of the performances are long, giving listeners a rare opportunity to hear Gordon stretch out on tracks like "Summertime," from Volume 1.
Gordon and tenor saxophonist Harold Land augmented Thelonious Monk's quartet (which at the time featured Charlie Rouse on tenor, John Ore on bass, and drummer Billy Higgins) on Thelonious Monk Quartet Plus Two at the Blackhawk, recorded on April 29, 1960. Gordon sounds more than comfortable on Monk's originals, navigating the tricky forms and harmonies with fluid and inspired lyricism.
Lookin' Good, Gordon's second and final album as a leader, was released by Contemporary in 1961. For this album his group included Jimmy Woods on alto, Dick Whittington on piano, Jimmy Bond on bass, and drummer Milton Turner. Gordon showcases his growing compositional prowess with a set of eight diverse originals. His trumpeting also reached its zenith on this recording; he had truly found a voice of his own as his tone opens up and becomes more consistent and his lines grow increasingly exciting. His Harmon-muted work on "A Song for Richard" is one of the album's many highlights.
Woods returned the favor by having Gordon on his Awakening!! album, recorded in September of 1961. Gordon and Woods are quite a complementary front line, with Gordon's laid back swing balanced by Woods' passionate and insistent style.
Tragically, Awakening!! was Gordon's last record date. He died in Santa Monica Hospital on November 4, 1963 from injuries sustained from a house fire that he started by dropping a lit cigarette onto his bed while nodding off. He was only 35 years old.
Fresh Sound records released West Coast Days in 2005 an album featuring Gordon in Manne's group with Kamuca, Budwig, and pianist Russ Freeman, recorded on July 31, 1960 at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach, CA. Given Gordon's lack of recordings, it is a prized release that spotlights the trumpeter in the prime of his all-too-short career.

The Walking Dead has been a runaway TV hit since it aired in 2010. The Crossbow Reviews team was instantly hooked after we saw how zombies' brains being skewered by a crossbow wielding badass. This crossbow wielding badass is Daryl Dixon!
Here's an example of his badassness (no, it's not really a word, but you know exactly what I mean, don't you??).
The Crossbow Reviews team, being who they are, immediately scrambled for the rewind and pause button on our TIVO to see what crossbow he's using. The most we could determine was that it's a Horton.
After some research, we determined it was actually the Horton Scout HD 125. Here are the specs:
- Draw weight 125 lbs
- Mass Weight 5.5 lbs
- Crossbow Length 29″
- Crossbow Width 25″
- Power Stroke 10.5″
- Arrow Length 20″
- Energy(ft.lbs.) 60
- Velocity(ft/sec) Upto 250 FPS
Sure enough, one of the kids down the road had one of these so we asked if we could take a close look at it and see what it was made of with some practice shots.
While it's scaled down in size as an entry level crossbow for kids, it certainly is not a toy. It's very compact and every bit a full-performance hunting crossbow as the adult models.
At the time of writing, it's out of stock at Amazon. I'm not sure when it became out of stock, but my money lands on when people figured out Daryl was using it in The Walking Dead.
Now you're probably thinking, if so many Walking Dead fans went out to buy the Horton Crossbow, surely they must want to practice shooting at zombie targets. Think that's too crazy? Think again!
Oh yah! You know the Crossbow Reviews will be ready for the Zombie Apocalypse, bring it on, walkers!!

Detectives from the 101 Precinct in Far Rockaway are looking for two men who held up a Far Rockaway store at gunpoint on December 22. According to police, two men entered the Discount Store at 10-79 Beach 21 Street at about 8 p.m. The two acted as customers, picking up merchandise and eventually moving to the checkout counter. As the clerk tallied the cost, however, one of the men pulled a silver handgun and yelled, "Nobody move." The gunman then came around the counter and took cash and an iPhone from the clerk's pocket. The two men then fled southbound on Beach 21 Street with $20 from the clerk and two bags of merchandise. The gunman is described as 17-20 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall, with hair on his chin and wearing short braids. His accomplice is described as 17-20 years old, wearing a black flight jacket and a black knit cap.

For the second time this season, redshirt junior Vanessa Zamarripa earned Pac-12 Special Performance of the Week honors, receiving the award after her performances on vault and uneven bars vs. Stanford on Feb. 5. (Watch uneven bars video)
Zamarripa helped the seventh-ranked Bruins beat then-No. 12 Stanford by winning both the vault and uneven bars with scores of 9.950 on each event. The win on vault was her third in five meets this year, and she has scored at least a 9.900 or better on 14 consecutive vaults. Her 9.950 on the bars was the highest score by any Bruin on that event this season.
The Special Performance of the Week nod is Zamarripa's seventh of her career; she previously won the award on Jan. 17 of this year after scoring a 10 on vault at Cal. She also won the award twice in 2010 and three times in 2009. Additionally, Zamarripa has five Conference Gymnast of the Week awards to her credit.

Elliott Allums, Lindsey Neill,Brenton Hall, and Bryan Bookhammer examine materials in Dr. Teresa Golden's forensics lab.
When the American Academy of Forensic Sciences accredited UNT's undergraduate Forensic Science Program in 2008, it became the only accredited program in Texas and one of only about 30 accredited programs in the country.
Accreditation assures students who enroll in UNT's program that they are getting one of the best forensic science educations possible. One way UNT delivers that quality is by making sure students learn in a hands-on environment where they do forensics work in UNT laboratories and during internships in the field.
And that education serves them well in finding a job. The demand for well-educated, prepared lab workers is on the rise. A 2009 report from the National Academy of Sciences calls for multidisciplinary, science-based approaches to address the existing need for more rigorous research and better training in the forensic science field. It also concluded that there is a growing need for more scientists to enter the field.
Rachel Wiley, a junior biochemistry major who hopes to one day work in the FBI Laboratory, became interested in forensic science through years of reading murder mysteries.
"As long as I can remember, I've been trying to solve mysteries," she says. "I guess I've always wanted to speak for the dead – to help the victims tell their story.
"Because UNT has one of the best Forensic Science Programs in the nation, I believe it is giving me exposure to a broad spectrum of the essential elements of the profession," Wiley says. "What surprised me about the program was how much these classes keep me interested and how much they reaffirmed that this field is my passion. I actually get excited about doing my homework."
Basis in science and hands on experience
During laboratory instruction, students:
- learn how to analyze drugs using several chemical and instrument techniques
- conduct complete DNA profiles of every body fluid
- analyze arson evidence
- identify trace evidence such as fibers, paint, soil, etc.
- learn how to run every advanced instrument they would encounter in a crime lab for processing evidence
Students choose to major either in chemistry, biology or biochemistry with a certification in forensic science. The program takes an interdisciplinary approach -- students' minor courses include both forensic science courses and criminalistics courses and all students must complete an internship at a lab or conduct advanced research. Students also take the Forensic Science Aptitude Test, which emulates the board exams graduates must pass after two years on the job.
Supplying workers for a growing field
Teresa Golden, Forensic Science Program director and professor of chemistry, says there are several ways UNT's program prepares students to move seamlessly into their chosen field.
"Our program is scientifically rigorous, so students are well prepared," she says. "UNT has put in several million dollars over the last 5 years to upgrade and equip UNT's laboratories with equipment matching that which is used in FBI or DEA labs, so students get hands-on experience with all the same instruments and techniques used in national forensic labs.
"Also, the professors who are teaching in the program are all working in the field doing case work and conducting research in forensic science and bringing advances to the field," Golden says. "And students are required to complete an internship in the field where they get real world experience in actual working labs."
UNT's Forensic Science is relatively young – only 5 years old – but is already seeing its graduates excelling in their chosen fields or by continuing their educations.
Alumni are practicing in the field, and succeeding
"95% of our students opt for medical school or graduate school in one of the science areas," Golden says. "A few have become science teachers and some have gone into the military to do investigative field work. However, all of them have been offered jobs at forensic labs."
Kristina Raines, one of UNT's 30 forensic graduates, is now working in a forensic laboratory. The 2009 graduate works as a lab technician in the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) department at Orchid Cellmark, Inc., a private forensics laboratory.
"I process buccal swabs (cotton swabs that have been scraped against the cheek to gather cells) collected from individuals for DNA testing," Raines explains. "We extract the cells from the swab to get the DNA of the individual, quantify the sample to determine out how much DNA is available, copy the sample using amplification kits, and then load the sample on certain machines that will show the individual's genetic profile. When a profile is obtained, we send this information to the client who then uploads them into the CODIS database."
Prior to her work in the CODIS department, Raines worked in the lab's forensics department where she processed assault kits and evidence for homicide cases, testing biological fluids to try to get a genetic profile.
"My laboratory classes are what prepared me for this career," Raines says. "The instruments and testing I used were the same as those I use on the job now. Not only did I learn theories in my classes, I also worked with several forensic tests such as toxicology, anthropology and drug chemistry."
Lauren Nimelstein chose to seek her master's degree immediately after completing UNT's undergraduate forensics program. She's now in the University of South Florida's Cell, Microbiology, and Molecular Biology master of science program.
"A master's of science degree will allow me to specialize in molecular biology and provide a greater variety of future job opportunities," Nimelstein says. "UNT's Forensic Science Program gives students a broad spectrum of related courses from subjects including crime scene investigation to DNA studies," Nimelstein says. "Students can choose their preferred fields after they finish the certificate program and degree course work. I gravitated towards molecular biology during my time there, and had an opportunity to take a graduate DNA analysis course at the UNT Health Science Center for my internship.
Working to improve society
"These students are excited about science and using science to help others," Golden says.
Forensic Science Program graduates know they are making a difference in the lives of crime victims and the survivors of those who have died.
"Helping people is what I like most about my career," Raines says. "Even though my co-workers and I may not see it every day, I try to remind myself that we are, in fact, helping people. As doctors hopefully see their patients get better, we hopefully help victims in some way."
Wiley says she hopes her work will some day bring peace to living victims and to the families of those who did not survive.
"Case by case, I hope that my work will speak for the dead and help put away the guilty."

Lost 125 pounds
Height: 5'5",
Age: 32
Topeka, KS
Throughout most of her life, Amiee N. was known as the "chubby girl," but little did her family and friends know that behind her happy façade, she was suffering from low self-esteem due to the fact that she was overweight. Once she was married and in her 20s, she often cried over the fact that her weight and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) made it difficult for her to carry a child; being overweight and having PCOS can affect your ability to become pregnant.
"I smiled when people would ask me how far along I was, even though it was my weight that kept me from having a baby. Underneath it all, I was hiding. I cried because even though my sassy clothes made me feel cute, they didn't help keep my husband's attention," Amiee says.
Amiee had reached a breaking point and she knew she needed to change her ways if she was ever going to become a mother. So she slowly lost the weight, and her wish finally came true — she became pregnant with her first child a few months later. But after becoming pregnant, Amiee still stuck to her old eating habits and was eventually diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
"After becoming pregnant, I found myself using the excuse 'Oh well, I'm pregnant and eating for two.' When I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I had to administer insulin three times a day. At this point, my husband looked at me with disgust," Amiee says regretfully.
Amiee gave birth nine months later to a 10-pound baby girl. Despite her difficult pregnancy and her doctor's recommendation to lose weight, Amiee continued to gain weight and eat unhealthily. The biggest wake-up call of her life came when her husband left her eight months later.
"His parting words were, 'You're fat and unsuccessful, and you are not my equal.' My world was destroyed," Amiee says. After her painful divorce, Amiee decided to make the commitment to lose weight for good and improve her health. She knew she needed to change her ways for her daughter now that she was a single mom. She started taking her daughter, who is now two years old, with her on her runs, and eventually discovered the South Beach Diet. Eating was no longer her escape, and living for her daughter became her goal. The South Beach Diet not only helped Amiee lose weight and keep it off, she also improved her health and learned how to make healthier choices.
Soon enough, Amiee completely turned her life around and started eating healthier and becoming more active. After following the South Beach Diet for a year, she lost a whopping 125 pounds and dropped more than half her size — from a size 20 to a size 6.
"I still set goals and remind myself not to treat myself with food. I work around being a single mom and use nothing as an excuse to not take care of myself. My friends have even said that I have inspired them to take care of themselves. It's not about mourning my wasted past, but about living for a future," Amiee says.
Biggest Surprise
"I was surprised by how quickly I saw results. The South Beach Diet is easy to follow and the online program gives you so much good advice along the way."
Favorite Snack
"My favorite snack is bananas and no-sugar-added natural peanut butter."
Favorite Exercise
"I started putting together a core-strengthening routine that uses my toddler as my weights. The heavier she gets, the stronger I become and so naturally she keeps the routine challenging."
Most Effective
Weight-Loss Strategy
"Substituting healthy ingredients in my favorite recipes has been the most successful strategy for me."
Most Rewarding Moment
"My most rewarding moment was when I realized that I had beaten the statistics and other people's opinions of me, including my own."
Best Advice
"Please don't give up! You will feel so amazing and proud of yourself when you see your pants getting baggier and baggier."
*Participants can expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week.

St. Pierre dominates at home
Report by Brady Crytzer
Photos courtesy of Josh Hedges, UFC
In the main event of UFC 124, world welterweight champion Georges "Rush" St. Pierre soundly defeated challenger Josh Koscheck via a dominant unanimous decision.
Following months of one-sided trash talking and an entire season of The Ultimate Fighter, the largest crowd in UFC history filled the Bell Centre in Montreal watch its favorite son defend his world welterweight title against his vocal arch nemesis. Koscheck, who has been anything but quiet about his use of verbal jabs to mentally break his opponent, was certainly in enemy territory when he walked to the Octagon Saturday night.
For the champion St. Pierre it felt as though he was fighting alongside 23,000 of his closest friends.
With all history and favoritism aside, when the cage door closed there were only two, and only one would leave with the UFC welterweight championship.
Most pundits expected St. Pierre to take his opponent to the mat, and after a stiff jab and head fake he did exactly that. As a credit to the challenger's wrestling, Koscheck stood up almost immediately. On the feet the champion began to find his range and land with a long range, but crisp, right hand. The takedown defense of Koscheck began to reveal itself as worthy of his NCAA national championship, but the former TUF standout had no answer for the boxing of St. Pierre. As the final minute of the round began, Koscheck worked hard for a takedown and took the champion to the mat as time expired.
A swollen Koscheck met St. Pierre in the center of the cage and began to east more stiff straight punches. Following a partially blocked head kick, the fight appeared to be firmly in the hands of the champion. Unfortunately for the challenger, his right eye had begun to close. St. Pierre punctuated the round with a hard right at the horn.
St. Pierre looked remarkably fresh in round three and, after landing some stinging legs kicks, he shot in unsuccessfully for a takedown. For nearly two minutes, the fighters jockeyed for position against the cage with the champion controlling throughout. After some brief exchanges, the clinch battle resumed. At the :30 mark, Koscheck missed a takedown by a large margin and, after absorbing more punishment, walked to his corner with his head down.
Round four began in spectacular fashion as St. Pierre slammed his opponent to the mat and took his back. In an impressive scramble, Koscheck escaped and nearly secured an kneebar. The stanza ended with the men clinching against the fence. St. Pierre began to pepper Koscheck in the center of the cage as the round came to a close, the a new counter left hook hurt the challenger badly on multiple occasions.
Koscheck started the final round by letting his fists fly but found little success. The champion opened up as well midway through the period with more stiff jabs and staggered his opponent many times with follow up power shots. With only ninety seconds left, the champion scored a takedown and slammed Koscheck to the mat. As the fight came to an end, St. Pierre scored with combinations of punches and kicks.
The decision was never in question, and the judges made it official:
50-45 St. Pierre
50-45 St. Pierre
50-45 St. Pierre
Struve Ends Keyboard War, TKO's McCorkle
In the co-main event of the evening 6'11 Stefan Struve defeated 6'7 Sean McCorkle via TKO at 3:55 of the opening period.
Hype was high for the massive heavyweight showdown as the two fighters combined to set a new record for the tallest fight in UFC history. Add in a dash of internet trash talking and the bad blood was sure to boil over.
Despite the fact that Struve was able to tag McCorkle early with a right cross, the close quarters allowed the powerful McCorkle to hoist his opponent into the air and slam him to the mat. Once on the ground, McCorkle assumed side control and clamped on a dangerously tight kimura shoulder lock. Struve, known for his muay thai, was able to escape the hold and worked his way to a defensive guard position. Firmly on top, McCorkle began to rain down hard punches and was nearly caught in an armbar from the bottom.
In a tremendous display of jiu jitsu improvement, Struve quickly swept McCorkle onto his back and landed directly in the mount position. With momentum on his side Struve hammered his opponent with blasting punches until the fight was stopped at 3:55.
Veteran Miller Submits Highly Touted Prospect Oliveira
In a crossroads lightweight bout savvy veteran Jim Miller put a stop to the momentum of his previously unbeaten opponent Charles Oliveira just 1:59 into the first round with a tight kneebar.
Miller wasted no time putting his younger opponent on his back and instituting his sound wrestling gameplan. Though put on the mat with force, Oliveira began to instantly threaten with armbars and triangles. Miller struggled with the offensive attack of the Brazilian, and, when it appeared as though he would be caught in a scramble, dropped for a submission of his own.
Miller instantly snatched the leg of his inexperienced opponent and wrenched with authority forcing Oliveira to tap at 1:59 of the first period. Miller makes it six in a row with this tremendous victory.
Danzig KO's Stevenson, Secures Fighting Future
In a lightweight contest of former TUF champions, Mac Danzig scored a spectacular one punch knockout over Joe "Daddy" Stevenson just 1:54 into round one.
Though both men are renowned for their wrestling prowess, the fighters spent the early part of round one exchanging ineffective jabs and battling for the center of the cage. As Stevenson began to find his range, the former TUF 2 winner pressed his opponent with hard overhand rights. Danzig, who appeared content to counterpunch, backpedaled away from the blows and retained his composure.
In a flash, as Joe "Daddy" moved forward again, Danzig exhibited an uncharacteristic striking awareness and placed a left hook perfectly on the chin of his opponent. Stevenson fell flat on his face instantly and the fight was waived off giving Danzig the knockout victory.
Undercard Results: Alves Impresses, Bocek Dazzles with Submission Win
In what could have been his most impressive victory yet, former welterweight contender Thiago "Pitbull" Alves used piercing leg kicks and unending pressure to earn a unanimous decision over fellow banger John "Doomsday" Howard. Scores all read the same, 30-27.
In a battle of middleweight veterans Dan Miller earned a workman-like split decision over Canadian Joe Doerksen. Scorecards read 29-28 twice in favor or Miller and 29-28 once in favor of Doerksen.
Lightweight Mark Bocek scored the biggest win of his promising UFC career by submitting for welterweight standout Dustin Hazlett with an armbar just 2:33 into the first round.
Following a competitive contest and some confusion, it was announced that Jesse Bongfeldt and Rafael Natal battled to a majority draw. Scorecards read 28-28 on two occasions and 29-28 once in favor of Natal.
In an exciting striking contest Sean Pierson defeated former TUF star Matt Riddle via unanimous decision. All three judges scored the bout the same, 30-27.
Middleweight jiu jitsu black belt Ricardo Almeida easily outpointed TJ Grant over three measured rounds. Scorecards all read the same, 30-27, in favor of the Brazilian.

Joint Colloquium Distinguished Lecture Series
Hardness of Approximation and Probabilistically Checkable Proofs
Wednesday, March 31, 2010
Dana Moshkovitz
One of the greatest achievements of Theoretical Computer Science was to show NP-hardness of "approximation" problems. This required a new, surprising understanding about the power of NP: All NP problems have proofs that can be checked probabilistically by reading only a "constant" number of proof symbols. This Theorem became known as the PCP Theorem (PCP stands for Probabilistically Checkable Proofs).
In the talk I will describe my past and present work in the field, as well as some future directions. My past work includes showing exponential hardness for approximating constraint satisfaction problems even to within o(1), assuming it is exponentially hard to solve 3SAT exactly. This allows us to deduce exponential hardness with sharp thresholds for a multitude of approximation problems, and solve one of the field's long-standing open problems (joint work with Ran Raz).
I will also describe the fruits of a recent exploration (joint with Subhash Khot) of another notorious open problem, the Unique Games Conjecture (UGC). We pose a new problem, called Robust-3LIN(R), about the approximate satisfiability of homogeneous linear equations over the reals. We show that a proof for the UGC will imply NP-hardness of approximating Robust-3LIN(R). We believe that proving the NP-hardness of approximating Robust-3LIN(R) might be helpful for proving the conjecture.

DENVER (AP) — Al Harrington doesn't want to sit with a sore right knee when the Denver Nuggets are in the thick of the playoff chase.
So, the team's top reserve plans to play through a torn meniscus on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Harrington hurt the knee in Orlando on April 1 and has been fighting through the injury ever since. He will wear a protective brace when the Nuggets face Kevin Love and the Timberwolves.
After morning practice, Harrington said the knee will limit his explosiveness and he may not be able to box out and rebound with the same energy he typically does.
Wilson Chandler (hip strain) is listed as questionable for the game.
The Nuggets currently hold the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

U.S. Coast Guard Awards
Richard E. Giese
Awarded 16 January 1969
For extreme and heroic daring on the afternoon of 29 April 1968 while on authorized liberty from the USCCC McLane (WMEC-146) when he attempted to rescue a man from drowning in the surf in the vicinity of Brazos Santiago Pass at Port lsabel, TX. SN Giese, while watching another Coast Guardsman rescue a distressed surfer, sighted an onlooker in danger of drowning, having gone into the surf to tend assistance to the rescuer and victim, SN Giese, disregarding his own safety, immediately entered the turbulent seas and despite the treacherous currents swam over 200 yards to the distressed swimmer. Thwarted in his effort to bring him to shore with a cross-chest carry, SN Giese attempted to pull the man to shore with an arm stroke. Repeatedly separated by the heavy surf and undertow and after trying various other means to bring the victim to the beach, he was weakening significantly when parted completely from the man by the heavy seas. Searching and unable to locate the victim, he headed for shore and was barely able to return to the beach without assistance. SN Giese's outstanding courage, initiative, fortitude, and unwavering devotion to duty, while endangering his life during this attempted rescue, reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Coast Guard.

Brandi Glanville is apparently tired of everyone talking about her relationships with her ex-husband's wife LeAnn Rimes and "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" co-star Lisa Vanderpump. On Friday, March 23, Brandi posted a tweet that denied that she's still angry at the two women. Rather, she wants everyone to believe that they don't bother her anymore and that she's truly happy with her life.
Brandi denied that she and LeAnn Rimes are fighting with each other on Twitter and that she and Lisa are in a war. "Im n[o]t in a twitter war with @leannrimes im not on a fued with @LisaVanderpump or anyone else for that matter #imhappy," she tweeted.
It's not clear what prompted Brandi to tweet such a message. A check on LeAnn's Twitter account doesn't show that she has said anything about Brandi recently. Nor has Lisa posted any unflattering tweets about Brandi recently. Also, Brandi's tweet doesn't seem to be in response to a fan's question.
Lisa, however, has spoken out about Brandi in the course of her promotional duties for her new P.U.M.P. lounge. For instance, when recently asked by Star Magazine whether she would ever forgive Brandi, Lisa admitted that the answer would've been an absolute no just a few weeks but now is a very remote possibility. She said that Brandi, who she thought betrayed her last season and spoke badly about her to the public, always denies any wrongdoing. She even joked that she wouldn't want to be stuck on an island with her.
Ironically, Brandi Glanville's public message about LeAnn Rimes and Lisa Vanderpump just brings attention to the matter, something that Brandi, as a veteran star of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," is probably well aware of. Perhaps she's retaliating against Lisa for her recent comments about her to the press and to shed negative light on LeAnn's upcoming reality show "LeAnn & Eddie," which showcases her life with Eddie Cibrian and premieres later this summer on VH1?

Heliostat, Aerobee
This is an experimental sun-follower that uses an externally adjustable mirror (a heliostat) designed for the Aerobee sounding rocket in the early 1950s at the Naval Research Laboratory. This device was intended to stabilize an image of the sun from a spinning and pitching sounding rocket. It used a servo-driven mirror flanked by small electric eyes that would seek out and hold the sun during the flight. The mirror would then reflect the sunlight continuously to instruments such as a spectrograph within the rocket's interior. It incorporates many interesting features, including the heliostat design and the features intended to produce a compact servo-driven device that had low inertial properties. It was superceded by a more robust design from the University of Colorado that was used in many Aerobee flights.
Transferred from the Naval Research Laboratory to the Museum in 1984.

College Hockey:New Hampshire grad Ciocco named new assistant at Alaska-Anchorage
Josh Ciocco has joined the Alaska-Anchorage staff as the Seawolves' new assistant coach.
A New Hampshire graduate, where he played from 2003-07 and was team captain during his senior season, Ciocco comes to UAA after serving as assistant coach at Milton (Mass.) Academy, while scouting amateur hockey events for the U.S. Hockey Report.
"During this process, Josh separated himself with his knowledge of the player pool and his recruiting ability," UAA head coach Matt Thomas said in a news release. "He has a tremendous eye for talent and a work ethic that will create immediate success for us. I look forward to having Josh represent the Seawolves on the national stage and be an integral part of our development."

NEW YORK (AP) - Shabazz Muhammad scored 21 points and No. 11 UCLA made enough free throws late to hold off Georgia for a 60-56 win Tuesday in the consolation game of the Progresive Legends Classic in Brooklyn, N.Y.
In the final minutes on Tuesday night, UCLA (4-1) took the lead with Muhammad on the bench, on baskets by Travis Wear and Jordan Adams, he re-entered with 1:58 left to play.
He made two free throws with 1:15 left, then scooped up a loose ball on the other end with a minute remaining and passed to Norman Powell, who was fouled attempting a layup. Powell made one of his free throws, and the Bruins closed it out at the line to rebound from a tough loss the night before and avoid a long flight back to the West Coast.
"It was obviously an important bounce-back win after a disappointing defeat last night," UCLA coach Ben Howland said. "It felt really good to get the `W' after the sting of defeat last night."
Wear finished with 10 points and eight rebounds for UCLA, and Kyle Anderson had nine rebounds and nine points.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope led the Bulldogs (1-4) with 16 points and had eight rebounds. Marcus Thornton had 10 rebounds for Georgia, which led by 11 about 3 1/2 minutes before the break.
"We didn't make the plays in the heart of the game that we needed to make," Fox said."
The Bruins got the second half off to a bright start, tying the game at 30 on Travis Wear's midrange jump shot.
Georgia's Caldwell-Pope answered with a quick 3-pointer before UCLA took its first lead following two free throws and Norman Powell's 3-pointer with less than four minutes gone.
Earlier, Georgia outmuscled UCLA underneath, mostly finding Nemanja Djurisic for easy layups.
The play was not helped by the atmosphere. Empty seats outnumbered fans at the Barclays Center, and some of the fans were wearing Indiana gear, waiting for the Hoosiers' appearance in the title game later in the evening.
Muhammad played 28 minutes in his first start of the season after playing as a reserve on Monday night in the Bruins' 78-70 loss to unranked Georgetown.
He appeared winded in the final five minutes of the game, and had to take a breather before coming back on for the final two minutes.
"I thought I was getting more comfortable out there and I am definitely looking to build more chemistry with the team and really getting my defensive game going," Muhammad said.
