Dolphins nocturnal news
The Dolphins are making late night moves just like every other NFL team now that midnight has arrived, and my goal is to help you get all the information that can't make the fish wrapper since it's past print time.
Keep refreshing this page because I'm going to keep cranking it out till the wife decides it's time to put me down for nap time.
Well, now that LT Flozell Adams is off the table, allegedly signing a six-year deal that could pay him as much as $43 million (with $15 million guaranteed) don't be surprised if the Dolphins go after Jacksonville's Maurice Williams. He's viewed as one of the top young tackles left on the market and the Dolphins have to address that position in free agency, and the draft….
But Williams might not be the only Jaguar the Dolphins put the full court press on. Bill Parcells and company are in the market for a Keyshawn Johnson like possession receiver, and Ernest Wilford seems to be the young one they really like. Wilford's top suitors I'm told are Buffalo and the Dolphins. I'm guessing Johnson might be the backup plan if Wilford ends up elsewhere. But Buffalo? Come on….
The Dolphins are in the late stages of working out a trade with Dallas to pick up 33-year-old Jason Ferguson, who is that MUCH COVETED NOSE TACKLE who can make the 3-4 scheme work. From what I'm hearing it's a later second day pick (possibly the sixth since the Dolphins don't have a fifth) that's been offered, but no one is giving up specifics. Landing Ferguson would negate the need to trade with Detroit to get Shaun Rogers.
Unloading Ferguson, who missed most of last season with a torn biceps tendon, would allow the Cowboys to trim $3.2 million in salary space. Dallas is positioning itself to make big moves this offseason to make a real title run, and Ferguson appears expendable. They really don't need him since Jay Ratliff stepped up big time, and the Cowboys signed Tank Johnson around mid-season. I'd love to see Dallas go after Randy Moss, but that's fantasy land. Hey, a guy can dream.
Here's a smart strategy for free agency, and I'm taking it straight out of the New England Patriots playbook on personnel management. Pick off the top talent in your division by signing your rivals better free agents, or offer them contracts their present teams will struggle to match, possibly forcing them to cut someone else to create space.
When you weaken your rival, by default you get stronger.
Sooooo, a wise plan for the Dolphins would be to go after the Patriots safety Eugene Wilson and cornerback Randall Gay. New England might let Wilson walk with little fight because they have Brandon Meriweather locked and loaded, but who fills in for Gay? Especially if Asante Samuel signs a lucrative offer somewhere else.
Can you imagine New England having to rebuild its secondary, and linebacker unit at the same time? That's tough to do in one offseason, unless they sign veterans like Ty Law with that championship contender discount they consistently get. How wants to bet Yeremiah Bell ends up with the Patriots?
Ohhhh well, there goes that theory.
When you get a chance put in your vote for free agent targets (CLICK HERE). Boy do the Dolphins need a big signing to sell tickets in 2008.
Don't be surprised to see Rex Hadnot sign a nice contract with either Houston or Dallas in the coming days. Hadnot's a Texas boy and the Texans really need a center. Dallas' offensive line is coached by Hudson Houck, who loves Hadnot like he's a son. In fact, the rest of the linemen called Hadnot "Hud's son."
Around 1 a.m. the nation discovered the new-look Dolphins move fast, signing the first free agent of 2008 signing period. Former 49ers starter Justin Smiley expects to sign with Dolphins Friday (CLICK HERE FOR STORY), and will become the starting right guard once he recovers from a torn left labrum.
Smiley, a 6-foot-3, 311-pound Alabama product who has started 49 games over the past four seasons, came to terms on a deal that will pay him $25 million over the next five years, with $9 million as the signing bonus.
So that's three of the five offensive line spots filled (Vernon Carey, Samson Satele and Smiley, who is 26). Now all the Dolphins need is another tackle, a backup tackle, and a starting left guard.

The Wildcats (16-8, 7-4 Pac-12) return to action tonight against Colorado in McKale Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. MST and can be seen nationally on ESPN.

Investing in tax lien certificates
It's a tough economic world out there. There doesn't seem to be too many good investments, stocks are down, interest rates are down and property values are, well, let's not even go there. And strange as it may seem, Manatee County may actually have one of the best investment programs around with the potential of even more benefits down the road.
Not only are property owners failing to meet their monthly mortgage payments, they are also failing to make their property tax payments. Real estate taxes in the state of Florida are assessed for a calendar year and are payable Nov. 1 of that year. The due date for annual property taxes is on or before March 31 of the following year. If the taxes are delinquent on April 1, Florida Statutes require the tax collector to conduct a sale of tax certificates on all property on which the taxes are delinquent for the preceding year on or before June 1.
A tax lien certificate represents the outstanding taxes on the property, and are sold in an effort to recoup delinquent taxes. In exchange for purchasing the tax lien certificate, the county offers investors interest on the certificates and guarantee that the tax lien certificates will be paid off within a prescribed length of time.
The tax certificates are sold at a tax sale auction through competitive bidding. The successful bidder in effect is offering to pay the delinquent taxes in exchange for receiving a lien or a claim against the property. No actual sale takes place.
In Manatee County the amount of the certificate is the total of the unpaid real estate taxes, plus assessments, 3percent interest and 5 percent in costs associated with the sale. Payment of the taxes cancels the lien on the property, with the owner of the tax certificate receiving his bid amount plus interest. If the owner fails to pay the taxes within two years from the date of the delinquency, the certificate holder can initiate a tax deed application to acquire the property.
Although tax liens are in first position on the property, there are generally other liens on properties that are also delinquent on taxes. Therefore, the tax certificate holder may choose not to exercise his option to acquire the property and use the tax certificate only as an investment tool.
Last year the Manatee County tax certificate sale for 2007 delinquent taxes was conducted on May 31, 2008. Prior to the sale, proper notification is published in the Bradenton Herald advising of the upcoming sale, and then another notification listing the delinquent taxes in zip code order. In 2008 the list of delinquent taxes appeared on May 15.
Last year's sale was conducted via the internet, and the county made computer access available at their DeSoto Branch location. The Manatee County Tax Collector's Web site is www.taxcollector.com where you can obtain more information, as well as view the delinquent tax list ,when it is available.
Tax lien certificates are an interesting investment vehicle used by many people who are looking for unique ways to put their money to work. There is also the possibility of converting the lien into a tax deed and become the owner of the property if the numbers work. Even in a bad economy, someone is always making money. You just need to know where to look for it.

Flex your BIP Muscles
By Tim Dexter-Oracle on Aug 30, 2007
I wrote about the coming Flex templates in 10.1.3.3 back in April - they are now here and I wrote some tutorial like documentation for the official doc. You can get that here or if you prefer PDF here - Chapter 9. The documentation covers the basics, how does publisher work with Flex templates, how do you build tables, charts and how do you wire up the objects to the data. To go with the tutorial are some Flex project files which are not with the documentation, they'll appear on metalink Im sure but for now I'll post them here.
Just unpack and use the Import feature of the Flex IDE to get them in. I have annotated the code so hopefully in conjunction with the doc you'll be able to make 'head and tail' of it all.
Before you EBS/PS and JDE folks ask - no, sorry, not yet, its a BIP Enterprise thang at the moment ... its coming thou.
I do not get into the 'Flex' of Flex templates but, I have been working with them again recently and if folks are interested I'll post 'tints & hips' as I work them out. There is a growing community of Flex developers building some amazing extensions to Flex that you can use in your templates. I have to mention the FlexLib project where there are a host of extensions - shout outs for Doug McCune , Ely Greenfield and Mrinal Wadhwa for providing such a wealth of info. If you get stuck in some Flex related issue, try our forum but you are going to get better results by asking the FlexCoders mailing list. I have to admit the Flex documentation is overall, very good and failing those resources just goooogle for anything Flex ... its out there.
There are truly some awesome things that you can do with Flex that your users are going to be screaming for and loving you for building, so get Flexing.

Guidlines for the Danish wiki
Guidelines for how to enter words into the Danish wiki have been posted. They can be found at:
He's the address again, just remove the spaces:
http://www.memrise.com/ topic/danish/ conventions/
I suggest we remove the demand that the gender of nouns be named twice - both under the column and in the demand that nouns be listed as indefinite. The latter would suffice. Is it possible to talk to the programmers of Memrise and have them work on the following: - automatic addition of en/et when gender is mentioned and the other way around. - ability to toggle/untoggle gender. - an extra column for plurals.
Most nouns are common gender and have the plural endings -er. It would be great if there could be some way of having memrise suggest these default endings, so that whoever uploads words can just write in if there are different endings/words.
I know I am just spitting out demands here, but I don't know who to talk to. In my view, it would be great if these shortcomings could be addressed. It could save a lot of time.
I agree that it is definitely double work to both enter the indefinite article (en or et) with the noun, and also have to type in the gender (common or neuter) in the gender field. Actually, it would be fantastic if there were a check box where either common or neuter would be selected if the word was identified as noun, and then memrise could add the indefinite article itself during testing. The problem with adding the article direct to the noun is that it messes up the wiki dictionary because now all the nouns start with either en or et!
It would also be great if the verbs had separate sections for infinitive, present, past and participle. And the adjectives should have a way to enter their common, neuter and plural forms. Then memrise could effetely test for verb and adjective inflection. I think the issue is that at the moment memrise is a very generic tool, and the changes we are asking for would be specific to Danish (or at least the Scandinavian languages). But if memrise is to become truly useful, these are the types of adaptations that need to be made. Perhaps Danish could become the testbed for this sort of functionality.
Anyway, I second the motion that the guidelines be changed. To do this, just contact Ben directly and tell him what you want.

(http://www.coastalbreezenews.com/category/entertainment/book-remarks/) 10. Six Years by Harlan Coben (6/18/13) Six Years is truly worthy of the term "thriller."

And to the amazement of all his children, Dad was turning into a man of decency and self-control." I wanted to read The Death of Santini because it was touted as a journey to forgiveness between a father and son.

Professor Tillman has Aspergers syndrome and lives his life with strict adherence to routine; rationality and time management.

This book is an absolute delight to read. Those of us who live locally will find a certain heightened satisfaction in the familiar locales, but knowing the Naples area is not at all necessary. Ms. Ketcham rivets the reader with multiple story threads interspersed with twists, as well as a loop or two, infusing humor in all the right places. The resolution is credible, leaving no loose ...

BOOK REMARKS Maggie Gust email@example.com by Harlan Coben Dutton 2013 Harlan Coben's most recent novel soared to the number one spot on the NYT Bestseller List immediately after it was published several weeks ago in March. I have to admit I was attracted to it because I read that Hugh Jackman had signed on to play the lead in the movie adaptation of Six Years, assuming that if this intelligent actor was eager to be involved in the project (as the Hollywood types call movies in the works), it must be an engrossing story. I was not disappointed. I am ... Read More »

It is the type of book hard to describe without giving away too much. When I read it, I had no prior knowledge about it except the blurb I read in the public library's newsletter. Two couples, each with a 15-year-old son, meet at a fancy restaurant in Amsterdam to discuss said sons who may be facing grave legal consequences for some recent impulsive behavior that resulted in the death ...

The closest I have ever come to playing golf is the summer my husband and I, newly wed, spent in Springfield, Missouri where he was interning as an accountant with Kraft Foods.

A Week In Winter
A Week In Winter By Maeve Binchy Knopf, November 2012 The Irish speak English with a musical lilt, softening even the harshest words and syllables. The best Irish authors bring this magical musical lilt to their written word. In my opinion, Maeve Binchy is in that class of authors. Some paint pictures with their words, but Maeve paints life with her words. The reader cannot just "see" her characters in her mind's eye, but experiences life right along with the characters. The soaring giddiness of falling in love, the deep delight of parental pride, the pathos of betrayal, the comfortable silences ... Read More »
Until I say Good-Bye: My Year of Living with Joy
At the age of 44 Susan Spenser-Wendel, a Palm Beach Post reporter, was told that she had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or as it is more commonly known, Lou Gehrig's Disease. There is no cure for this disease and sooner or later it is fatal as muscles lose their strength throughout the body. Her first sign of there being something wrong was when she noticed that her left hand had gotten thinner and weaker. Many of us would give up all hope and rail against the unfairness of our situation. But Susan, with a husband and three children, decided that ... Read More »

Long before the Brandon Kaufman's, Greg Herd's, Nicholas Edwards – and now, Cooper Kupp – were making headlines and baffling defenders catching footballs at Eastern Washington, there was Bob Picard.
Over 40 years ago now, it was Picard who set the table for a legion of Eastern Eagles to move on from that little school in Cheney into professional football.
He's one of just two players in over 105 years of Eastern football to have their number – his being 84 – retired and was the first to have that done. Michael Roos' 71 is the other.
Picard played for Brent Wooten and John Massengale...

Samsung's SCH-W510 Eco-phone given green label award in Korea
Anyone excited about harvesting a couple new phones? Sorry, pun intended and just couldn't be helped. That's for Samsung's new stab at creating a very environment-friendly handset, which is made out of corn and other eco-friendly materials, actually.
The Samsung SCH-W510, launched in Korea as an Eco Phone, has been bestowed the "green label" from the Korea Eco-Products Institute recently. It features some fairly high tech in its entirely "green" body. By green, of course, I mean it users natural corn in its body and does not contain substances that are harmful to the environment. Which is why it got the "green label" in the first place.
But you'd be wrong to think this phone would be utterly useless in the city. For starters, Samsung's Eco Phone has a 3 megapixel camera, built-in Bluetooth and integrated multimedia player, along with other features that you'd expect to find in any regular sized, normal handheld phone.
The biggest news about this is that the handset itself doesn't seem to be going anywhere other than the Korean market. I guess that's OK. I'll just wait. They will make another version out of potatoes, right?

A visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum is a fantastic way to capture the interest of youngsters in a wide variety of history and culture. During school holidays they also have an art truck in the gallery with materials and artists ready for children to re-create their own copies of the amazing exhibits. They often run special events for families too. All of this is free of charge and makes a wonderful outing.

Begun as a "joke," Orlando is Virginia Woolf's fantastical biography of a poet who first appears as a sixteen-year-old boy at the court of Elizabeth I, and is left at the novel's end a married woman in the year 1928. Part love letter to Vita Sackville-West, part exploration of the art of biography, Orlando is one of Woolf's most popular and entertaining works. This new annotated edition will deepen readers' understanding of Woolf's brilliant creation.Annotated and with an introduction by Maria DiBattista

CHAPTER ONEHEFOR THERE could be no doubt of his sex, though the fashion of the time did something to disguise itwas in the act of slicing at the head of a Moor which swung from the rafters. It was the colour of an old football, and more or less the shape of one, save for the sunken cheeks and a strand or two of coarse, dry hair, like the hair on a cocoanut. Orlandos father, or perhaps his grandfather, had struck it from the shoulders of a vast Pagan who had started up under the moon in the barbarian fields of Africa; and now it swung, gently, perpetually, in the breeze which never ceased blowing through the attic rooms of the gigantic house of the lord who had slain him.Orlandos fathers had ridden in fields of asphodel, and stony fields, and fields watered by strange rivers, and they had struck many heads of many colours off many shoulders, and brought them back to hang from the rafters. So too would Orlando, he vowed. But since he was sixteen only, and too young to ride with them in Africa or France, he would steal away from his mother and the peacocks in the garden and go to his attic room and there lunge and plunge and slice the air with his blade. Sometimes he cut the cord so that the skull bumped on the floor and he had to string it up again, fastening it with some chivalry almost out of reach so that his enemy grinned at him through shrunk, black lips triumphantly. The skull swung to and fro, for the house, at the top of which he lived, was so vast that there seemed trapped in it the wind itself, blowing this way, blowing that way, winter or summer. The green arras with the hunters on it moved perpetually. His fathers had been noble since they had been at all. They came out of the northern mists wearing coronets on their heads. Were not the bars of darkness in the room, and the yellow pools which chequered the floor, made by the sun falling through the stained glass of a vast coat of arms in the window? Orlando stood now in the midst of the yellow body of an heraldic leopard. When he put his hand on the window-sill to push the window open, it was instantly coloured red, blue, and yellow like a butterflys wing. Thus, those who like symbols, and have a turn for the deciphering of them, might observe that though the shapely legs, the handsome body, and the well-set shoulders were all of them decorated with various tints of heraldic light, Orlandos face, as he threw the window open, was lit solely by the sun itself. A more candid, sullen face it would be impossible to find. Happy the mother who bears, happier still the biographer who records the life of such a one! Never need she vex herself, nor he invoke the help of novelist or poet. From deed to deed, from glory to glory, from office to office he must go, his scribe following after, till they reach what ever seat it may be that is the height of their desire. Orlando, to look at, was cut out precisely for some such career. The red of the cheeks was covered with peach down; the down on the

MÓnica G. Prieto, Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Israel was drawn into the Syrian civil war for the first time on Sunday, firing warning shots into the neighboring country after a stray mortar shell from across the border hit an Israeli military post.
The Israeli military said the mortar fire caused no injuries or damage at the post in the Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war and then annexed. But in recent weeks, incidents of errant fire from Syria to the north have multiplied, leading Israel to warn that it holds Syria responsible for fire on Israeli-held territory.
"A short while ago, a mortar shell targeted an IDF (Israel Defense Forces) post in the Golan Heights," said army spokeswoman Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich. "We answered with a warning shot toward Syrian areas. We understand this was a mistake and was not meant to target Israel and then that is why we fired a warning shot in retaliation."
The Israeli military also said it filed a complaint through United Nations forces operating in the area, stating that "fire emanating from Syria into Israel will not be tolerated and shall be responded to with severity." Israel returned fire with an anti-tank missile.
Nineteen months of fighting and the mounting chaos engulfing the regime of President Bashar Assad have already spilled across borders with Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan. The danger of drawing in Israel as well to a wider regional conflagration is one of the worst-case-scenarios for the civil war.
Violence also flared Sunday on Syria's northern border with Turkey, a common flashpoint. Syrian army forces backed by helicopter gunships and artillery attacked a border area with Turkey after rebels captured a crossing point, activists said.
The Britain-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the Ras al-Ayn border area in Syria's northeast was "under siege" as dozens of rebels tried to hold onto the border crossing.
The upheaval has largely had no direct impact on Syria's bitter foe Israel, and their shared border has remained mostly quiet, as it has been since a 1974 cease-fire.
Still, Israel worries that Syria's civil war could spill across into the Golan — a concern made more immediate by multiple cases of errant fire in recent weeks and Israel's claim that three Syrian tanks entered the demilitarized zone on the plateau this month for the first time in 40 years.
Israeli officials do not see Assad trying to intentionally draw Israel into the fighting, though they have raised the possibility of his targeting Israel in an act of desperation. Israeli officials have repeatedly said it is only a matter of time before Assad's regime collapses.
Over the weekend, Vice Premier Moshe Yaalon said Israel recently conveyed several messages to Syria and Damascus had "conducted itself appropriately." He did not elaborate.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his Cabinet that Israel is "closely monitoring" the border with Syria and is "ready for any development."
Earlier, Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned, "If a shell falls, we will respond."
Israel fears that if Assad's regime is toppled, the country could fall into the hands of Islamic extremists or descend into sectarian warfare, destabilizing the region.
It also is afraid that Syria's arsenal of chemical weapons and missile could fall into the hands of its Lebanese ally, the Hezbollah guerrilla group, or other anti-Israel militants if Assad loses power.

Apple unveiled CarPlay–"seamless" integration of iPhone and automobile–yesterday morning in a press release. Connecting an iPhone via Lightning cable will allow the driver to access a number of iOS features through a touch-enabled display unit in the dashboard and/or steering wheel controls. The company announced a previous iteration called "iOS in the Car" during the Worldwide Developers Conference last year.
Anyone who has used activated Google Now with the touchless "OK, Google" voice command can attest: There is no substitute for accessing a phone's features safely and effortlessly behind the wheel. Perhaps most integral in CarPlay, Siri will be easily accessible from the wheel, which may be a more useful venue for her. Many iPhone users still do not use or think to use Siri on a daily basis, but may be more open to utilizing voice controls in the car to send text messages, make calls, and control the radio.
"CarPlay has been designed from the ground up to provide drivers with an incredible experience using their iPhone in the car," says Apple's Vice President of iPhone and iOS Product Marketing, Greg Joswiak.
Cook and company have struck deals with the auto industry's biggest names including BMW, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Subaru, Suzuki, and Toyota. Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo will unveil their CarPlay-enabled vehicles next week at the Geneva Auto Show. A few of these same companies–with the addition of Audi–have also recently worked with Google on a similar deal as part of the Open Automotive Alliance to integrate Android OS with car head units.
Be cautious not to confuse "CarPlay" for "Google Play," however, as the service will understandably not support Google Maps navigation and instead will natively use Apple Maps. This may ignite a fire under some iPhone users who were burned by the app's rocky launch, but it is worth noting the service has gotten much better since then and should not create much confusion for drivers. If this were not the case, one would hope Apple would avoid actively pushing their infamously buggy maps to the dashboards of thousands of drivers.
As previously mentioned, CarPlay connects to an iPhone via Apple's proprietary Lightning cable. This means without an adaptor, only the iPhone 5, 5c, and 5s will be compatible and will need to update iOS 7 when it is released sometime this year. Also worth noting is that Pandora will not be supported, at least not at launch, but other internet radio apps (e.g. iHeartRadio, Stitcher, Spotify) will be. Pricing for CarPlay has not yet been revealed.

A YOUNG mother from Todmorden has paid tribute to motorway patrol officers after she was rescued from a hard shoulder.
Collette Leyland was stranded beside the eastbound M62 with her nine-month-old daughter Sarah, after the lights failed on her new car.
Highways Agency traffic officers Gary Reece and Martin Costello were clearing up after an incident nearby and noticed she was distressed.
The pair decided to escort Collette and Sarah off the motorway where she could be collected by her family.
Collete has now written a letter of thanks to the officers, who are based at the agency's north-west headquarters at Newton-le-Willows.
She said that without them she would have been stranded.
She said: "I just want to express my heartfelt gratitude for them helping to resolve what could have turned out to be a very traumatic experience."

Recap | Final Stats | Quotes | Photo Gallery
Washington held the Vandals to minus-4 yards rushing, thanks in large part to seven sacks for 52 lost yards. Those minus-four yards are the fewest by a Husky opponent since Washington held San Diego State to minus-7 yards in a 35-3 win at Husky Stadium on Sept. 13, 1997.
The Huskies' seven sacks tied for eighth-most in UW history. The Huskies' most recent such performance came in the 2003 Oregon game, in which they also had seven sacks.
Washington's win today snapped an eight-game losing streak, dating back to last season. The Huskies' eight-game skid was their longest since a 10-game streak that ran from the final game of the 1968 season through the first nine games of the 1969 season.
From the Huskies' drive that resulted in James Sims' one-yard touchdown run with 11:28 left in the second quarter (the drive started late in the first quarter) through Johnie Kirton's six-yard TD reception with 3:14 left in the third quarter, Washington scored on six consecutive drives.
Washington's 34 points were the most the Huskies have scored in a single game since their 37-31 loss to UCLA in the second week of last season.
UW tailback Louis Rankin's 48-yard touchdown run in the second quarter was the first touchdown of his career and the longest run in his Husky tenure.
Rankin, who rushed for a career-high 112 yards in his first-ever start two weeks ago vs. Air Force, set a new career high today with 115 yards on 19 carries.
Husky senior fullback James Sims' 17-yard run early in the second quarter was the longest of his career. That 17-yard run got the Huskies a first down at the Idaho six-yard line. Sims capped the drive with a one-yard TD run on fourth down.
Idaho's three points at halftime marked the fewest points allowed by at UW team in the first half since last season's win over San Jose State, when the Spartans also managed a field goal in the opening half. Washington won that game, 21-6, having led 7-3 at halftime.
Manase Hopoi's three and a half sacks tied him for fifth on the UW single-game list. The record of five is shared by Mark Stewart (1982 vs. UCLA) and Ron Holmes (1983 vs. Navy). Hopoi's three and a half sacks were the most by a Husky since Todd Johnson notched the same total in the 1998 Utah State game.
Husky defensive end Donny Mateaki entered the game with three sacks in 19 career games. He added two more today.
Mike Mapuolesega's punt block in the third quarter was the first blocked punt by a UW player since Tim Galloway blocked one last season vs. Oregon State (Oct. 16, 2004).
Kirton's TD catch was the first touchdown of his career. The redshirt freshman from Mill Creek, Wash., came to the UW as a running back but switched to tight end during this season's fall camp.
Washington's seven sacks today more than tripled their season total. The Huskies came into the game with three sacks in their first two games.
UW cornerback Josh Okeobor, making his first career start in Husky uniform, notched his first career interception in the first quarter. Husky senior linebacker Joe Lobendahn's third-quarter interception was the first of his career.
Today's game marked the first time since last year's win over San Jose State that the Huskies kept their opponent from scoring a touchdown.

Let $E$ be a real analytic vector bundle on an analytic manifold $M$. Assume that $E$, as a smooth vector bundle, is a trivial bundle.
Is $E$ a trivial analytic vector bundle?
I need to the answer to this question for the following question:
Let $E$ be a real analytic vector bundle on an analytic manifold $M$. Assume that $E$, as a smooth vector bundle, is a trivial bundle.
I need to the answer to this question for the following question:
Here's just a sketch, maybe someone else can fill in the details. Most of the steps will require the use of the nontrivial fact that $C^\omega(M)$ is dense in $C^\infty(M)$. Let's assume $M$ is compact.
Step 1: Construct a real-analytic embedding of vector bundles $E\to M\times\mathbb R^N$ for some finite $N$. This gives a real-analytic classifying map $M\to\operatorname{Gr}_n(\mathbb R^N)$.
Step 2: Increase $N$ to $N'$ so that the composition $\gamma:M\to\operatorname{Gr}_n(\mathbb R^N)\to\operatorname{Gr}_n(\mathbb R^{N'})$ is smoothly null-homotopic.
Step 3: Approximate this smooth null-homotopy of $\gamma$ with a real-analytic homotopy from $\gamma$ to a map $\gamma':M\to\operatorname{Gr}_n(\mathbb R^{N'})$ which is contained in an $\epsilon$-ball over which the universal bundle is real-analytically trivial.
I suspect this argument also works for $M$ non-compact (taking $N=\infty$) though I haven't checked carefully.
Here's an easier strategy:
Consider the real-analytic vector bundle $\operatorname{Hom}(\mathbb R^n,E)$ where $\mathbb R^n$ denotes the trivial bundle of rank $n=\operatorname{rk}E$. By assumption, it has a smooth section which is a fiberwise isomorphism. Approximate this smooth section by a real-analytic section (this is where we use a hard theorem to tell us such an approximation exists). Now the property of being a fiberwise isomorphism is an open condition, so the real-analytic section is also a fiberwise isomorphism, and thus gives the desired real-analytic trivialization.

Jan. 6, 2003
Senior forward Jason Kapono (Lakewood, CA/Artesia HS) of the UCLA Men's Basketball Team was selected as the UCLABruins.com Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of Dec. 30-Jan. 5.
Kapono enjoyed one of the best games in school history on Saturday against Washington State, scoring a career-high 44 points. Kapono's point total was the highest ever by a Bruin forward and is tied for the fifth-highest scoring total in school history with Lew Alcindor (now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and Bill Walton (only Alcindor has scored more points as a Bruin - four times). Kapono made a school-record nine three-point field goals on 10 attempts and on the afternoon, hit 14 of 19 shots from the floor and all seven free throws. He also tied his career high with six assists and tied for the team lead with five rebounds.
Kapono had 25 points in the first half and 19 in the final 20 minutes. Late in the first half, he scored 13 straight points and 15 of UCLA's last 19 points of the half, expanding a five-point lead (34-29) to 16 (53-37) at intermission. He surpassed his old career high of 28 just 1:23 into the second half when he nailed a three-point field goal and was fouled for a four-point play. With 5:50 remaining in the game and UCLA leading by 10 (77-67), he got hot again, making three three-pointers in 2:28 to give UCLA a 20-point lead (88-68) with 3:22 left.
Kapono, this week's Pac-10 Player of the Week, also moved into 10th place on the career scoring list with 1,772 points
This is Kapono's first UCLABruins.com Student-Athlete of the Week honor of the season and the fourth of his career.
Also nominated: Jamie Dantzscher (w. gymnastics), Michelle Greco (w. basketball)

Notes: The authors develop Bayesian models for binary healthcare indicators, which represent certain key procedures carried out in the care of patients with HIV/AIDS. These allow for the assessment of a newly introduced procedure called HIVQUAL, which incorporates self-reporting of the indicators by the institutions involved. The models treat the success probabilities as a Markov Chain, with each year's success probability being used to inform the subsequent year's prior. Covariates, such as institution type, are easily incorporated as covariates. The models developed here have been adopted by the Aids Institute of New York to inform its public data releases.

STS-133 -- Mission to the International Space Station
The crew members of space shuttle mission STS-133 are back from space! They launched on the space shuttle Discovery. Six astronauts were on the 35th shuttle trip to the International Space Station. The STS-133 commander was Steve Lindsey. The pilot was Eric Boe. Mission specialists were Alvin Drew, Michael Barratt, Steve Bowen and Nicole Stott.
Tim Kopra was supposed to fly on STS-133. On Jan. 15, 2011, he was in a bike accident. He is going to be okay, but NASA had to pick someone to fly in his place. Astronaut Steve Bowen took Kopra's place. Bowen had flown on STS-132. He was the first astronaut to fly on back-to-back missions.
Astronauts John Young and Robert Crippen flew on the first space shuttle mission. They visited the crew during STS-133 training.
This was an exciting trip for the space shuttle crew. NASA's Robonaut 2, or R2 for short, hitched a ride with the STS-133 crew. Robonaut 2 has a head, an upper body and two arms with hands. He does not have legs. R2 weighs about 300 pounds.
Getting into space isn't easy for astronauts. It was not much easier for a robot. Robonaut 2 was packed in a box made to fit him. He was on his back for the shuttle launch. That is how the human crew launched, too.
Astronauts spend a lot of time going to school. Their classes might be training to work in space in a giant swimming pool, in a model of the space shuttle or even sitting around a table.
Astronauts train for months before going into space. They work in life-sized models of shuttle and space station pieces. Astronauts practice making meals, using cameras and even taking care of trash.
Astronauts help pick the food they will eat while in space. The kinds of foods astronauts eat are not too different from what they eat on Earth. In fact, some of the things they eat can be bought at a grocery store.
The crew members designed a mission patch before their space shuttle trip. The patch shows things that are important to the crew. In the STS-133 patch, the shuttle flies into a shower of stars to show that this is Discovery's last planned flight. The names of the crew are listed around the edge of the patch.

French make perfect Six Nations start
France scored three second-half tries in 10 minutes to beat Italy 30-10 in the Six Nations rugby championship and maintain their perfect start to the competition.
Louis Picamoles, Wesley Fofana and debutant winger Hugo Bonneval all touched down between the 43rd and 53rd minutes as France sealed the result following a dull, error-ridden first half at the Stade de France.
Ireland top the standings from France.

It was so great getting to know you better! I just love that part about your animals. I read them aloud to Patrick and he said it sounds like it could be set to the music from the "Twelve Days of Christmas"! My cousins lived on a farm so I can relate to so much of what you write about it. I just love getting an image of you there! Very Minnesotian of you to be wearing shorts. People from Minnesota often always thing they get their heartiness from the Scandinavian influence but let me tell you Norwegians are wimps compared to Minnesotans! They are out in it...true...but are VERY VERY layered up compared to how we dress in Minnesota!
Maria thank you so much for sharing. You are such a terrific person and I feel so very lucky to have met you here.

We have some things in common...my fave color is purple too! Why is it I can never find a nice purple blouse is beyond me! My fave drink is unsweet tea too...it took awhile to get off the sweetner/sugar, but I love it now!!
You sure do have lots of pets! Of course, if I lived on a farm I would too, - I LOVE animals!!!
Happy your life is good! Sounds like things are looking up for the farm! Good luck with the business!
I am thinking of doing one of these too soon.

I get that the Christian Bible, and in particular the New Testament, are not popular reading for most Israelis. I also get that being sent a copy of the New Testament by the Bible Society could be offensive for a lawmaker in the Jewish state.
But I don't get this response of Knesset member Michael Ben Ari, who ripped up a copy of the New Testament and has his legislative aid take a photo and then send that photo to the newspaper Maariv.
Lawmakers had received in their Knesset mailboxes copies of the new edition of the New Testament released by the Bible Society in Israel, which distributes Christian books in the country, Ynet reported. Some returned it to the society and others quietly disposed of it.
"Sending the book to lawmakers is a provocation. There is no doubt that this book and all it represents belongs in the garbage can of history," Ben Ari said, adding that it "galvanized the murder of millions of Jews" throughout history, including during the Spanish Inquisition.
Mark Regev, a government spokesman, didn't understand or appreciate Ben Ari's reaction either. Regev told Ynet:
"We totally deplore this behavior and condemn it outright. This action stands in complete contrast to our values and our traditions. Israel is a tolerant society, but we have zero tolerance for this despicable and hateful act."
Ben Ari is not the first to publicly destroy a copy—or hundreds of copies—of the New Testament in Israel.

Yuki Japanese Restaurant
Cuisine: Japanese
Address: Shop 15, 113 Collins Rd Willetton 6955
Yuki is right in the corner of the cluster of shops on Collins Rd, Willetton. They are located very conveniently off Roe highway and close to where we live (which is one of the reasons why we visit so often). It's well established, I even remember going to the restaurant when I was still in high school (10+ years). I'm not sure if they changed management during the time, but the food has always been consistently good… perhaps even better now that I've experienced various Japanese restaurants locally as well as internationally.
We almost always get the Bento Set and Udon which never receive any complaints, their sushi aren't too bad either – quite a delicious size. The service is always friendly and efficient, the food comes out quite quickly. Of course you can't compare it to Nobu, Perth, Sake Bar or Ha-Lu, Yuki is more of a casual dining experience like Kai or Kanta (a couple of my other favourite Japanese haunts). In fact I think the food is not far behind the likes of Bonsai either.

Naval Facility BrawdyApril 1974 - October 1995
Naval Facility Brawdy, Wales was commissioned 05 April 1974. A thriving major facility within the IUSS, the positive effects of continued growth were evident in every arena: Operations Technology, Communications, Construction, Security, Manpower, Community Outreach Programs, Administration, Supply and Retention. Welsh roads leading to NAVFAC Brawdy may well have been narrow and winding, but those that led from the station were wide open and ever expanding. Twenty-one years of coordination and cooperation afforded Brawdy a proud place within the legacy of IUSS. The facility enjoyed a close working relationship with the armed forces of the United Kingdom. The 400 U. S. and UK sailors, civilians and officers of NAVFAC Brawdy served with dedication and pride in this land of stormy beauty, castles and dragons, until it was remoted to Joint Maritime Facility St. Mawgan and deactivated on 1 October 1995. "Cheers!"

Gassmann, M; Manini, A; Stallmach, T; Saam, B; Kuhn, Gi; Grenacher, B; Bogdanova, A Y; Vogel, J (2008). Abortion in mice with excessive erythrocytosis is due to impaired arteriogenesis of the uterine arcade. Biology of Reproduction, 78(6):1049-57.
|Accepted Version
View at publisher
We postulate that repeated pregnancy loss, intrauterine growth restriction, and preeclampsia are caused by impaired elevation of uterine blood flow due to disturbed arteriogenesis of the uterine arcade. This hypothesis is based on the observation that pregnant human erythropoietin-overexpressing (plasma levels elevated 12-fold) mice (termed tg6 mice) suffering from excessive erythrocytosis generally abort at midgestation unless their hematocrit of 0.85 is drastically lowered. Transgenic mice show placental malformations that parallel those observed in pregnant women suffering from impaired uterine perfusion. Shear stress, a key factor inducing arteriogenesis, was 5-fold lower in tg6 mice compared with wildtype (WT) littermates. Consequently, uterine artery growth was reduced, and dramatically fewer viable pups (1.63 +/- 2.20 vs. 8.10 +/- 0.74 in WT) of lower weight (1.29 +/- 0.07 g vs. 1.62 +/- 0.12 g in WT) were delivered in first pregnancies. Only in subsequent pregnancies did tg6 deliver approximately the expected number of pups. Birth weights of tg6 offspring, however, remained reduced. As the spleen is a major site of extramedullary erythropoiesis in tg6 animals, splenectomy reduced the hematocrit to 0.6-0.7. In turn, shear stress increased to normal values, and splenectomized primiparous tg6 showed normal uterine artery growth and delivery of pups similar in number and weight compared with WT. We conclude that poor arteriogenesis is a previously unappreciated cause for clinically important pregnancy complications.

Another Day, Another OM NOMing Kitteh
Listen, I will never get tired of cats that literally OM NOM when they eat, okay? I'm sorry, i just can't help it. Like being neck-breakingly handsome or able to sleep in any position at work.
I don't remember how we decided to give her sour cream in first place, but it made every single person laugh that i showed this "talent" of hers, so i decided to share it with the rest of the world as well :)
Sour cream, huh -- who would've thought?! I wonder what she'll do if you gave her sour cream & onion chips. Probably OM NOM and PEW PEW -- that's a good-ass flavor combo right there.
Thanks to Curtis, who OM NOMs his food when he eats but he does it on purpose and nobody thinks it's cute. You should probably stop.

Nia Long
"...for the most part, I'm very happy with the pace I'm taking to get where I'm going. I think, in a couple of years, everyone will know who Nia Long is." -Nia Long
Nia starred in hit TV series such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Third Watch, and always made time for the big screen in films like Love Jones, Soul Food, Boiler Room and Stigmata.
Now Nia star on television and in film simultaneously because she can. She's talented enough to take on a range of projects, and she's smart enough to nail them all. She may not be as famous as Halle Berry just yet, but we think it's only a matter of time.
Nia Long BiographyBorn October 30, 1970, in Brooklyn, New York, Nia Long (nee Nitara Carlynn Long) showed an interest in acting at an early age. Nia, whose name comes from one of the seven days of Kwanzaa and means "life purpose," was instructed by Betty Bridges, better known as the mother of Diff'rent Strokes child star Todd Bridges.
nia long find guiding light
Nia's acting career began on television in 1991, with a role on the soap opera Guiding Light which lasted for two years. In addition to daytime roles, Long appeared on primetime television in sitcoms such as 227, Silver Spoons and My Two Dads.
While on Guiding Light, Nia had her big screen debut in 1990's Buried Alive. One year later, she landed a role in Boyz N the Hood, John Singleton's powerful drama also starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Laurence Fishburne.
Although Boyz N the Hood received critical acclaim, it was Nia's 2-year role as Will Smith's girlfriend and fiancée on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air that gained her recognition.
Working with Will Smith again, Nia was cast in 1993's Made in America. In 1995, continuing in her tradition of comedic roles, Nia appeared in the film Friday, where she shared the big screen with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. As for additional television appearances, Nia had guest roles on Living Single, ER, and Brandy's Moesha.

Her breakthrough role arrived in 1997 as the lead female in Love Jones. That same year, Nia had a role in Soul Food, co-starring Vanessa Williams and Vivica A. Fox, as well as in The Best Man in 1999, for which she won an Image Award for Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture.
Proving to be an actress who can successfully cross over many movie genres, Nia also had a supporting role in the 1999 thriller Stigmata, In Too Deep (both in 1999), and Boiler Room (2000), starring Ben Affleck and Giovanni Ribisi.
While her stint in Boiler Room did get her noticed, it was 2000's surprise summer hit Big Momma's House, which co-starred Martin Lawrence, that gained Nia even more recognition.
