ORONO, Maine -- The University of Maine football team got off to another fast start as it scored 24 unanswered first half points en route to a 34-20 victory over visiting William and Mary (4-3, 1-2 Colonial Athletic Association) on homecoming weekend. The win moves Maine to 6-1 overall and a perfect 3-0 in CAA play.
Marcus Wasilewski (Kulpmont, Pa.) was efficient in the win, completing his first 12 passes before finishing 16-for-22 with 192-yards and a pair of touchdowns. The total yards pushed Wasilewski over the 4,000-yard passing mark for his career. The senior quarterback also rushed 14 times for 71 yards in the win. Classmate Rickey Stevens (Rochester, N.Y.) returned from injury and rushed 24 times for a game-high 99-yards and a touchdown.
The Black Bears outgained William and Mary 420-279 and were led on defense by its linebacking corps as Cabrinni Goncalves (Taunton, Mass.) totaled nine tackles and a trio of pass breakups followed by Christophe Mulumba (Montreal, Quebec) with eight tackles while senior Troy Eastman (Rahway, N.J.) added seven stops.
Maine wasted no time grabbing a lead as it took the opening possession down to the William and Mary six yardline. Wasilewski snapped the ball and rushed to the one, stretching to try and break the plain but lost the football. Black Bear center Bruce Johnson (Rochester, N.Y.) was able to fall on the ball for a touchdown.
A Tribe punt led to another long drive for the Black Bears. Maine would depend on its rushing attack, keeping the ball on the ground for 10 of the 12 plays on the drive, capping it off with a one yard blast into the endzone from Stevens.
A three and out forced by the Black Bear defense put the ball right back into the offense's hands. Wasilewski guided another drive down the field, highlighted by a 22-yard pass to Justin Perillo (Wilmington, Del.) into the William and Mary zone. Sean Decloux (Ottawa, Ontario) ended the drive after booting a 42-yard field goal, giving Maine a 17-0 edge.
Midway through the second quarter, Maine took advantage of great field position after a 28-yard punt was returned 23-yards by Justin Flores (Woburn, Mass.), setting Maine up deep in Tribe territory at the William and Mary 15. A pair of Black Bear rushes set Maine up 3rd and six at the 11 before Wasilewski floated a pass to Damarr Aultman (Wheatley Heights, N.Y.) for a touchdown.
William and Mary got on the scoreboard late in the second quarter after piecing together a 13 play, 53 yard drive which ended when Kendell Anderson bounced in from one yard out. Maine would take a 24-7 lead into the break.
The Black Bears outgained William and Mary 240-94 as the defense held the Tribe to just 23 first half passing yards.
Maine opened the second half much like the first. After forcing a Tribe three and out, Wasilewski orchestrated a 13 play, 59 yard drive over 5:48, ending with a six yard touchdown pass to Perillo as Maine stretched its lead to 31-7.
The Black Bears carried their 24 point edge into the fourth quarter. William and Mary's Keith McBridge punched in a one-yard rush for a touchdown early in the final quarter to cut the lead to 31-13.
Maine once again answered as a 14-yard rush from Stevens set up a a 21-yard Decloux field goal.
The Tribe continued to make a run as they scored a late touchdown when replacement quarterback Brent Caprio hit Tre McBridge for a four yard score. But it would be too late, as Maine moved to 3-0 in league play with a 34-20 win.
The Black Bears return to action on Saturday, Oct. 26 when they travel to face Villanova in a battle of two of the top three teams in the CAA.

Neal Shusterman's novel "Unwind" appeals to teens with an abnormal interest in disturbing subject matter, otherwise known as dissected dying. Or is it the vagaries of life that fascinate?
"When does life begin?" its cast of adolescent characters ask.
"If more people could admit they really don't know, maybe there never would have been a Heartland War," offers protagonist and anti-hero Connor Lassiter.
Shusterman masters the satirical in his dystopic novel, wrapping technicalities of current abortion debate with teenage angst.
In Connor's study of history, the Second Civil War in the United States has been fought over abortion; wide division over the answer to When life begins sparked a blood battle. To satisfy both sides, a compromise was crafted: all babies must be birthed, but parents have a right to unwind them when they achieve their teens.
To unwind means to methodically dismantle and donate 99.44% of their child's body as transplanted surgical parts, not truly aborting them, but relinquishing parental responsibility from that moment forward.
"I was never going to amount to much anyway, but now, statistically speaking, there's a better chance that some part of me will go on to greatness somewhere in the world. I'd rather be partly great than entirely useless," rationalizes Samson Ward, ward of the state, as he heads to unwind camp.
Wordnet defines black humor as "the juxtaposition of morbid and farcical elements to give a disturbing effect."
The necessary justification of a Samson Ward headed toward his dismantling reflects such cynicism.
Though there are more disturbed moments. Connor's parents have decided to unwind him, but have yet to tell him their decision. He stumbles on the truth and responds with smoldering contempt:
"... he found a certain power in knowing his parent's secret. Now the blows he could deal them were so much more effective. Like the day he brought flowers home for his mother and she cried for hours. Like the B+ he brought home on a science test. Best grade he ever got in science. He handed it to his father, who looked at it, the color draining from his fare. 'See Dad, my grades are getting better. I could even bring my science grade up to a A by the end of the semester.' An hour later his father was sitting in a chair, still clutching the test in his hand, and staring blankly at the wall."
Gotta love that kid! He expresses meaning through action and words that normally signify the opposite, i.e., he applies intense irony to his situation.
Here's another example of black humor:
"If I'm unwound," says Hayden, "I want my eyes to go to a photographer—one who shoots supermodels. That's what I want these eyes to see."
"My lips will go to a rock star," says Connor.
"These legs are definitely going to the Olympics."
"My ears to an orchestra conductor."
"My stomach to a food critic."
"My bicepts to a body builder."
The scene may be offensive to some and is decidedly graphic in nature, suiting the Urban Dictionary's definition of black humor. Such macabre effects are funny for both cast and readers.
The ultimate example of dark- even cruel- humor however, is found in Chapter 60's Harvest scene. Again, the Urban Dictionary shares, "… verbally describing a horrible incident in graphic, long winded detail can be found funny in itself."
Consider this horrific moment: an anonymous kid being surgically unwound:
"He feels a sharp pinprick in the right side of his neck, and then in the left side.
"'What's that?'
"'That,' says the nurse, 'is the only pain you'll be feeling today.'
"'This is it, then,' (x) says. 'You're putting me under?'
"Although he can't see her mouth beneath her surgical mask, he can see the smile in her eyes.
"'Not at all,' she says. 'By law, we're required to keep you conscious through the entire procedure.' The nurse takes his hand. 'You have a right to know everything that's happening to you, every step of the way.'"
Evidently readers have a similar right. Step by step, hour after hour, parts come off. Readers are privy to it all:
"Two hours, five minutes.
"'Blink twice if you can hear me.'
"Blink, blink.
"'You're being very brave.'
"He tries to think of other things, other places, but his mind keeps being drawn back to this place. Everyone's so close around him now. Yellow figures lean all around him like flower petals closing in. Another section of the table is taken away…"
Merriam-Webster defines black humor as, "humor marked by the use of morbid, ironic, grotesquely comic episodes." Neal Shusterman has achieved its mastery in a novel both monstrous and penetrating.
"Unwind" may be set in the future, but the issues it addresses transcend time. Its place in middle school English curricula is justified beyond citing stellar examples of dark humor. "Unwind" raises poignant discussions over and above, "When does life begin?" It considers:
- When is war justified?
- Why might a person choose to become a Clapper (suicide bomber)?
- Why might a dictator behave as he does (backstory)?
And perhaps most telling, Will sixteen year old girls ever change? "She's such a slave to fashion," Connor observed of his girlfriend Ariana, "always getting the newest pigment injection the second it's in style."
Shusterman's novel earns a rating of 97/100-- a bit lower than perfection considering contemporary references that take readers out of the novel, i.e., "They blew up an Old Navy in the North Akron Mall." As if there might be an Old Navy or even a Mall following some futuristic Heartland War.
The movie "Unwind" is slated for release by Constantin Films in 2015. Casting does not appear to be complete, as yet.

I have two OS X machines running Snow Leopard, a laptop and a desktop. I have saved mail messages on my laptop that I'd like to move to my desktop. However, the obvious method—copying ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Saved Items/ and …Saved Items.mbox to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes—doesn't work right. After I did this, I can see the folders on the left side of Mail.app, but none of the messages show up at all in the message list at the top of Mail.
Funny thing is, I can see these messages just fine if I enter relevant search terms into Spotlight.
What's the minimum amount of files that I need to copy from my laptop to my desktop if I want these e-mails to show up in Mail.app? I'd rather avoid
obliterating copying over other settings if at all possible.

Feb. 6, 1998
TEMPE, Ariz. -- The fifth-ranked Arizona State baseball team (8-1, 0-0) lost to No. 23 Florida State (2-2, 0-0) 3-2 in front of a season-high 3,192 fans in its series opener with the Seminoles at Packard Stadium tonight.
The game was scoreless until the top of the fourth when Florida State third baseman Kevin Cash homered to right field to put the Seminoles up 1-0. The Devils tied it up when Andrew Beinbrink scored on an error in the fifth. The Seminoles struck for two more in the eighth, again Cash drove in both. The Devils had their last chance in the bottom of the ninth, when Mikel Moreno homered with one out to put the Devils within one. Moreno ended the night 1-for-4. But relief pitcher Mike DiBlasi came in with two out to pick up his second save for FSU. Sun Devil pitcher Ryan Mills (2-1) picked up the loss for the Devils, pitching seven and one-third innings, striking out four.
Sun Devil head coach Pat Murphy believes this actually may be good for ASU.
"Maybe we were a little overconfident. This is actually good for us. We really only hit two balls hard. And in college baseball you have to score runs to win." said Murphy.
Florida State starting pitcher Chris Chavez (1-1) picked up the win for FSU, going eight and two-third innings, giving up only four hits, and striking out five. ASU head coach Murphy had praise for Chavez.
" Chavez had good command of his fastball. He kept us off balance," commented Murphy.
The Sun Devils continue the three-game series with Florida State tomorrow afternoon in a 1 p.m. game at Packard Stadium. For ticket information, please call the Sun Devil ticket office at 965-2381.

Weather, spirits improve at boat show
After two dreary, stormy days, the 53rd annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show finally got some gorgeous weather Saturday.
Rain and wind associated with Hurricane Sandy as it headed north, far off the Florida coast, soaked the show's outdoor sites and damaged some tents Thursday and Friday. One tent that was damaged overnight Thursday was closed all day Friday, but boat show workers had it looking like new by Saturday.
Although the wind was still blowing Saturday, the sun was shining and the sky was blue, which put attendees and exhibitors at the show in a good mood.
"It was a much better day," said Bobbi McCarty, who sold several seahorse pendants, a seahorse bronze and an Ahi print at the David A. Wirth Gallery at the Bahia Mar Yachting Center. "People are happy. The traffic has been great."
The show continues through Monday.

Trending Japan: Soccer Taunt
Soccer supporters around the world are rarely known for displaying sensitivity.
Still, a lone banner displayed by one small group during a match in Jeonju Tuesday evening between South Korea's Jeonbuk Motors and Japan's Cerezo Osaka stooped to an unedifying low, bearing the slogan "Congratulations to the earthquake," written in Japanese.
The reference to the March 11 disasters was picked up in Japanese press reports quickly became the top trend on Twitter Japan Wednesday morning.
While sporting rivalries between Japan and Korea are keenly felt, to say the least, the many messages of support from Koreans since the disasters have been welcomed here, making the banner – removed by stadium officials during the game in response to protests from the Japanese team – all the more shocking for the many who retweeted press reports on it.
Among other terms trending Wednesday:
- "JT" — referring to the government's plans to sell shares in the country's biggest cigarette maker, Japan Tobacco, to help fund post-disaster reconstruction costs;
- "787" – the first of the long-delayed Boeing Dreamliner jets ordered by launch customer All Nippon Airways finally landed in Tokyo early Wednesday.

I ran into a friend the other day as I was leaving the gym in Charlotte. After the standard "How are you?" he explained that he has received his 30 day notice from the financial services company he has worked at for 20 years. It was clear from talking to him that this is a huge blow. He has always been a good performer and, prior to his company's merger with another large company; he was managing a team of people as well. Life has been good for him until now. Understandably, he is very hurt by the situation. So how does one react to the news that their services are no longer needed? Is it OK to be upset?
First off, it's very understandable for my friend to have the reaction he does. Hey, he has put 20 years of his life into this job! My friend is in his 40's I believe, so it's half his life. The guy is grieving, and it's OK that he is. It's probably not too different from any other relationship where one pours their all, only to see the other person walk away with no real explanation. So, for starters, I want him to grieve for a period of time. During this period, he'll get to reflect on the good times, and to determine all the skills he has developed over these last 20 years. Then it's time to move on.
How many views are there in this situation? Off the top, one could say it's a raw deal for him. This is true to a point, but company loyalty is rare any longer, and his job was eliminated due to a merger of two very large companies. One can also say it's a good thing because he wasn't really doing what he enjoyed, and now he can find another job. This is also true, but are there any other ways to look at this? I think yes. More and more, we see the survivors of these layoffs burdened with more work. They wind up working more hours just to keep their jobs. After all, they don't want to wind up like "him" in this uncertain job market, right?
I think my friend needs to see that this is a new phase in his life, and now he can reflect and pursue his passions. It might lead to an opportunity for self-employment, or to take those skills he has honed to another company. He doesn't have to worry about being tied to his email, smartphone, or laptop. He can separate his work life from his personal life, while the "survivors" are working 50 - 60 hours per week to get the same amount of work done when he was with them.
I see often times that folks who leave a company after many years see an appreciable increase in their salary when they leave. In one sense, loyal employees get "punished" by staying with the same company for so many years. They receive their standard 3 - 5% raise every year because they performed well, and it's enough to keep them happy. However, I have seen many times, individuals receive 10 - 20% raises for switching to a new employer. They are paying for the skills and abilities developed over time with experience, and now they have someone coming on board who they expect to contribute to the bottom line.
I understand my friend's grief, and I know this will pass. On the other hand, I told him that I'm encouraged for his future. He has a lot to look forward to. Getting let go is not a reflection of him, but rather the corporate political environment he is working in. There will be plenty of opportunities available to him in the Charlotte market when he is ready to look for them.

Among the cactus, scorpions and dry desert heat lies land of plenty for ambitious developers to create entertaining venues for the masses. Odysea in the desert will be a winning combination of SeaWorld meets Disneyland in this one of a kind world class attraction.
With an average of 18 million tourists coming to visit the valley of the sun each year the Salt River Pima community wanted to capitalize on the 8 million tourists who come to stay and play in Scottsdale. Arizona has a variety of unique things to do but they are spread all over the valley. Trying to create a place for people to maximize the activities they do in one location is the challenge and creative venture of lead developer Amram Knishinsky, Ph.D. and CEO of Odysea an Oceanic Adventure.
Odysea in the Desert is a multi-million dollar entertainment district which started with the first phase Butterfly Wonderland. The Butterfly Wonderland is the largest indoor pavilion of butterflies in the country and a tour of the facility takes about two hours to go through. It's been open since Memorial Day weekend of 2013 and hundreds of thousands of tourist from across the country and around the world have come to visit.
The second phase to the indoor attraction will be the Oceanic adventure, Odysea in the Desert. This style of aquarium will be the largest in the Southwest and one of the largest in the United States holding 2 million gallons of water. Odysea in the desert will also be one of the most unique in the United States Knishinsky said "It will be a combination of SeaWorld meets Disneyland with a few surprise elements to this attraction that will be unveiled once the aquarium is open".
Knishinsky and his team of experts have designed aquariums before this is not their first rodeo. They were the first to develop an aquarium for profit in the United States in Newport, Kentucky which opened in May 1999 and it was named the fourth best aquarium to visit in America by Newsweek magazine.
One of the unique features to this aquarium is that it will give visitors the opportunity to be part of marina life in a whole new way. With advanced Sea TREK technologies people who do not have certification with scuba diving will have the opportunity to get into the water with the fish. The only other place in the US that has these diving technologies which allows people to experience marine life in this way is the Discovery cove in Orlando Florida.
The aquarium structure will be very pedestrian friendly with parking all around the building and access walkways for people with strollers. Phase threes design will be a two story building with a collection of restaurants that will be located on the second floor. The circular design will feature the restaurants overlooking the center court with fountains, water features and a stage for musical performance. The concept for the restaurants is an idea similar to EPCOT center at Disneyland with taste from countries like Thailand, Mexico, Greece, China, France and a Jewish deli. This will give the patron an experience as if they have traveled to a foreign land.
There will be a wide variety of retail shops but these shops will not compete against the local malls. Knishinsky said "this will be experience retail, 4000 sq. ft. a glass shop and in the front of the shop will feature artist blowing glass and then they can sell the glass so the tourist and locals have an experience". The same for a Candy store we want them to create the fudge and chocolates so that it is unique and different.
Odysea in the Desert is scheduled to start construction in the summer of 2014 with the target date for the aquarium to be open on Thanksgiving Day 2015. Additional features to the aquarium will include a Lighthouse Café, Odysea Treasure Gift shop and the facility will accommodate private events up to several hundred guests.
Odysea in the Desert Aquarium will be located at Via De Ventura and the 101 in Scottsdale adjacent to the Butterfly Wonderland.

Aug. 29, 2011
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE - For his third season at Washington, coach Steve Sarkisian worked with athletic director Scott Woodward to finally get the 2011 season in line with their vision for how they want Huskies' schedules to be.
They just didn't expect Eastern Washington to be coming to Husky Stadium Saturday (4 p.m. on ROOT Sports TV, the Husky IMG College radio network and with a live game chat here on GoHuskies.com) as the defending champion of the Football Championship Subdivision.
"I congratulated Coach (Beau) Baldwin when he won a national championship at the end of the year," Sarkisian said Monday of a talk he had with Eastern's coach last winter.
"And I had to remind myself that we play them at the beginning of this year."
The arrival of the high-flying, spread-and-throw Eagles for a $400,000 payday will mark the end of Washington being one of four teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision to have never played an FCS-level team. USC, UCLA and Notre Dame are the others.
It will also make the reality of the Huskies' schedules more conducive to winning titles inside a unique, expanded Pac-12 Conference. Sarkisian and Woodward want to maximize chances for championships by going with a more clearly tiered, "A-B-C" scheduling model than the ones from 2002-10. Those had UW playing Ohio State (twice), Notre Dame (three times), Oklahoma (twice), Boise State, Brigham Young (twice), LSU and Nebraska.
That gauntlet isn't exactly the best route to nine- or 10-win seasons. So it is that the Huskies this weekend will be hosting a Washington school not named Washington State in football for the first time since Whitman was on the schedule (twice!) - in 1944.
"It's Pac-12 football," Sarkisian said. "Really for us, you are talking a nine-game conference schedule. We are the only conference in the country (along with the Big 12, which is now starting it this season) that does that.
"The reality of it is you look at our conference the last two years, we haven't filled our bowl slots."
Yet it's not like the Huskies are suddenly in marshmallow mania, scheduling-wise. After all, EWU is the cream of the FCS crop. And the Huskies go to Nebraska Sept. 17. Next year they have a return date at LSU. They host Boise State to open renovated Husky Stadium at the start of 2013. Add conference foes Oregon and Stanford, and that's five opponents that are in the current top 10.
Plus, defending Big Ten-champion Wisconsin is on upcoming schedules in a home-and-home series. So is Illinois.
Actually, Washington is getting its schedule aligned onto the path that every one of nation's top programs has taken recently to become elite.
Each of the teams that finished the 2010 season in The Associated Press top 10 have played multiple FCS (formerly Division I-AA) opponents since 2002. Defending national champion Auburn has been playing them for in eight of the last nine years, including Chattanooga last season.
Oregon's win over Portland State last September was the Ducks' fourth game against an FCS foe since '02. Boise State has had six lower-division foes in that span.
Texas Christian and Wisconsin, which met in January's Rose Bowl, have played FCS teams nine times between them since 2002. When LSU won the national title in 2003, it beat Western Illinois along the way. The Tigers have played four other FCS teams in the last nine seasons.
Florida beat Western Carolina in 2006 and The Citadel in '08 on its way to a national championship in each of those seasons. Alabama beat Chattanooga in 2009 before winning that season's BCS title game.
"And so I think you are seeing that trend occur more now where teams are willing to play FCS schools and not to guarantee a win per se, but just not to be so beat up," Sarkisian said. "You go and play a top-tier Big Ten team, a top-tier Big 12 team, a top-tier SEC team, and maybe it may not be so much that game alone but a factor of what it can do to your roster moving forward and guys getting beat up.''
Speaking of beat up, Sarkisian hopes to know by Wednesday whether tailback Chris Polk (knee), cornerback Quinton Richardson (ankle) and reserve tailback Johri Fogerson (hip) will be able to play against Eastern Washington.
Polk ran on the side without shoulder pads on and walked the stadium steps with Fogerson during Monday's practice, while Richardson and the rest of the team drilled on the field in shoulder pads and shorts. Richardson practiced for the first time since he sprained his ankle Aug. 13.
The status of Polk, the 1,400-yard rusher last season who had arthroscopic surgery Aug. 18, and Fogerson in particular leave the coaching staff juggling decisions on whether to redshirt true freshman running back Bishop Sankey. Sankey and sophomore Jesse Callier, in the lead role while Polk has been out, are the only top backs fully healthy.
Sarkisian said that doesn't mean he will rush Polk back this week, or any time soon.
"This is not just about Saturday," the coach said. "This is about October, November as well."
QUICK HITS: The week-one depth chart had junior James Johnson, set back by injuries last season, atop one of three WR spots. "He's earned it," Sarkisian said. "I think he had a tremendous training camp. But ... you're going to see all six of those (wide) receivers in the first quarter of this ball game on Saturday." ... New starting OLB John Timu showed his athleticism from being a high school QB and S again on Monday, tipping and then intercepting a pass during team drills and sprinting the other way for a long return. ... Sarkisian said he hopes to redshirt versatile senior WR Cody Bruns this season "for a lot of reasons ... some personal, some strategic on our part." The coach said it would be great to have Bruns lead a deep but generally young unit in 2012, when UW will lose seniors Jermaine Kearse Devin Aguilar. William Chandler is the new holder on field goals and extra-point kicks to begin this season. Bruns did that and many other things last season.

Apple's browser plugins have, for a long time now, been equatable with terrible browser performance. I'd rather not simply uninstall them though because sometimes (although rarely) I will come across a .mov I do want to watch in my browser. In Internet Explorer I used the "Manage Add-ons" window to disable everything made by Apple:
QuickTime Object (both of them?),
iTunesDetector Class, and
Behavior Object. Then I opened an Apple trailers page, http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/universal/paul/, to watch what happens.
As the page loaded it exhibited all of the symptoms the QuickTime plugin usually causes: one of my CPU cores maxed out for a few seconds and my browser became unresponsive. Clicking "watch now" on the page also caused my CPU to max out and my browser to freeze again for several seconds. As expected however, the video wouldn't load or play.
Apparently just disabling the add-ons didn't work, so I also changed the permissions for each one to allow no site to run it without permission. I opened the trailer page again and it froze my browser as before, the only difference being a notification appeared asking if I should allow iTunesDetector Class to run.
Is there any way to remove Apple plugins without straight up uninstalling them? Apparently disabling them in IE removes their ability to play .mov files but not their ability to wreck my browser and PC performance. Could it be that I'm attributing the blame to the wrong thing, and something else entirely is causing the Apple trailers site's awful performance?
I'm using Win7/IE9 beta, if that matters, but it's my understanding that IE add-ons function more or less the same across versions.

Bowles bowls over Torres for WEC bantam belt
Octagonside by Anthony Springer Jr.
Photography by Chris Cozzone
In one of the year's stunning upsets, Brian Bowles knocked out Miguel Torres at 3:57 in the first round to claim the WEC bantamweight title.
In what originally appeared to be a cocky statement considering the former champions 36-1 record, Bowles pledged a first round knockout and made good on his word.
From the outset, it seemed that Bowles was on pace to have a good night. He dropped Torres early withhis trademark right hand but the champion recovered.
Torres continued to push forward despite the obvious danger. The tide turned when Torres caught Bowles with a series of rights and lefts.
Bowles remained confident throughout the onslaught and rocked Torres with another big right hand, sending one of the sport's best to the canvas for the final time.
Three unanswered punches on the ground forced the referee to halt the bout.
The victory ended—or at least dented—the legend that is Miguel Torres.
Bowles remains perfect at 8-0, while Torres is an impressive 36-2.
Cruz hands Benavidez first loss, becomes number one contender
The battle for the next WEC bantamweight number one contender was as highly anticipated as the night's title showdown. The next two contestants in the title sweepstakes were undefeated Joseph Benavidez and the once beaten Dominick Cruz.
After 15 minutes of non-stop action, Dominick Cruz emerged as the likely number one contender at 135, defeating Benavidez by unanimous decision.
Neither man was able to come out with a clear advantage on the feet, but the repeated takedowns of Cruz were enough to earn him the victory.
Benavidez was floored a number of times in the second and third frames. Some of the falls were due to Cruz, but most were courtesy of a reckless style of fighting reminiscent of former featherweight champion Urijah Faber.
The pressure was on Benavidez to find a solution for Cruz' height and reach advantage going into the final round. Though the high impact moves dazzled the crowd, Cruz would not fall victim to a highlight reel finish, taking down Benavidez in the heat of the final exchange. As time threatened to expire, Cruz was able to take Benavidez back, and rode out the final ten seconds to victory.
The judges scored the contest 30-27 (twice) and 29-28 for Cruz.
Castillo pounds out Lamas
In the first finish of the main card, Danny Castillo defeated Ricardo Lamas at 4:15 in the second round via TKO.
After a back and forth battle which saw both men attempt to impose their will, Castillo unleashed a straight right hand that found a home on the face of Lamas. The shot didn't drop Lamas, but the stunner gave the Northern Californian enough time to pounce on his back pedaling foe.
A series of unanswered punches forced Herb Dean to halt the bout.
"He's a tough opponent. I hurt him with my combos," Castillo said of Lamas after the bout.
"I train with the best team in the world, I have a great group of guys," he added of his Alpha Male teammates.
The victory moves Castillo to 8-1.
Mizugaki dominates, but narrowly escapes defeat
In a battle of two top ten bantamweights, former number one contender Takeya Mizugaki got a split decision nod over veteran fighter Jeff "Big Frog" Curran.
In his forty-forth professional bout, Curran was taken down at will, but was able to keep Mizugaki from inflicting too much damage on the ground.
While Mizugaki clearly won the first, Curran went on the offensive in the second and third stanzas. After spending the majority of the round staring at the lights, Curran sank in a guillotine choke towards the close of the round, but was unable to seal the deal.
The final frame provided the most excitement for the pro-Curran crowd. With Mizugaki in a dominant top position, Curran surprised the capacity crowd by slipping a triangle choke in. With 30 seconds remaining, Curran seemed well on his way to pulling off the upset. Mizugaki displayed his durability by holding on until the bell rang.
All three judges scored the bout 29-28.
Garcia ekes past Massouh
Leonard Garcia got back in the win column, defeating Jameel "The Real Deal" Massouh via split decision.
Neither fighter disappointed in a bout that was bumped up to the main card due to time constraints. The Texas fighter nearly ended it early, flooring Massouh with a huge right hand. Garcia believed he had the fight won, but Massough recovered before Garcia was able to capitalize on the shot.
Massouh responded with some offense of his own, taking down the former featherweight number one contender. The takedown was immediately followed by some brutal ground and pound, leaving many to believe Garcia was on the verge of letting the bout slip away.
Massouh continued his offensive in the second round, nearly finishing Garcia with a tight guillotine. The resilient Garcia overcame the compromising position and continued to push forward.
Going into the final frame, the fight was seemingly up for grabs. A gassed Garcia connected on select punches, but was unable to string together an offensive combo, allowing Massouh to remain in the fight.
Paixao and Province nullify each other and the crowd
Cole Province bested Fredson Paixao via unanimous decision, but failed to win over the crowd in the process.
The three round back and forth was marked by stalemates when the two fighters tied up.
Despite the victory, Province clearly looked like he'd been in a scuffle. Paxiao opened up a nice sized cut in the opening round with an elbow. The blow left Province's DNA over both men.
Looks proved to be deceiving with the Oklahoma fighter using his wrestling pedigree to keep Paxiao from utilizing his jiu-jitsu.
All three judges scored the bout 29-28 for Province, who got back in the win column after losing to fellow undercard fighter Diego Nunes.
Roller outlasts Hicks
On paper, the Marcus Hicks-Shane Roller fight should not have gone to decision. However, both men left everything they had inside the cage, with Roller emerging the victory via unanimous decision.
Due to Hicks not making weight, the fight took place at a 159-pound catch weight. Despite the three pound weight difference, Roller pushed forward early, taking Hicks down at will. Roller persevered early on, fighting out of Hicks' trademark guillotine choke in the opening stanza.
The second frame saw two near finishes, with Hicks locking in another tight guillotine. Roller appeared to turn red, but was able to escape and seize the top position.
In the dominant position, Roller reigned down punches, elbows and forearms to the delight of the crowd. At one point, it seemed that the fight was headed for a stoppage. Hicks weathered the storm and avoided a referee stoppage by mounting an intelligent defense at the last minute.
With the crowd fully into the action in the cage going into the final round, both fighters came out to make a statement. Hicks fired rights and lefts early on, hurting Roller with a series of body shots. Appearing to be gassed from the earlier rounds, Hicks was unable to take advantage of his good fortune in the striking department and allowed Roller to recover.
The last round was sealed in Roller's favor with a big slam as time expired.
The judges scored the bout 30-27, 30-27, and 29-28 for the man fighting out of Las Vegas.
"9mm" takes aim, shoots down foe
In the quintessential striker vs. grappler matchup, Ed Ratcliffe punched and kicked his way to a unanimous decision victory, nullifying Phil Cardella's jiu-jitsu skills.
From the outset, it was clear that Cardella wanted no part of Ratcliffe's standup. The 6'0 light weight failed to take the fight to the ground, making him easy pickings for "9mm."
Though Ratcliffe's carefully timed shots could not keep Cardella at bay, it was enough to give the Texas fighter pause. Cardella was unable to muster much offense, and was limited to pinning Ratcliffe against the side of the cage.
After several separations courtesy of referee Steve Mazagatti, it was clear that—barring a miracle finish—the fight was out of Cardella's reach.
Yahya chokes out Hosman
Rani Yahya made short work of John Hosman, defeating the Illinois fighter with a North-South choke in the opening stanza.
Yahya overcame a height and reach disadvantage by closing the distance early. Yahya, who took the fight on short notice, scored a quick takedown and immediately advanced to side control. With Hosman looking like a fish out of water on the mat, Yahya seized on the north-south position and locked in the choke.
After going out of his way to assure the referee he was all right via an extended thumbs up, Hosman was forced to tap—proving that at times, defense may be better than communication with an official.
Yahya's victory, his fourth in the WEC, puts him at 15-4. Hosman drops to 17-5-1.
Unbeaten Nunes overwhelms Dias
Diego Nunes remained unbeaten, overwhelming Rafael Dias en route to a unanimous decision victory.
Nunes appeared to be in his comfort zone from the moment the bell rang, dropping his hands repeatedly in front of Dias, who was unable to put together a sufficient offense.
The undefeated fighter controlled the standup, landing punches and kicks seemingly at will.
On the ground, Nunes was also in control, making Dias pay for inaction with forearms and big punches.
Round three saw Nunes unleash a devastating ground and pound attack. After countless forearms and punches, the Brazilian turned Dias face into something resembling raw meat.
All three judges scored the bout 30-27 for Nunes, who improves to 13-0.
Judges hand Davis controversial win over Vazquez
Suspect MMA judging reared its ugly head in the first bout of the night, as LC Davis edged out Javier Vazquez via split decision.
Both men came out swinging with neither man able to take a clear advantage. Davis wowed the crowd early on with a flying knee, but ended up ceding the top position to the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.
The match continued in see-saw fashion, and on the surface, Vazquez edged out each round with more effective striking and cage control.
In another example of why a fight should never be left to the judges, all three score keepers scored the bout 30-27—twice for a surprised Davis, once for Vazquez.

Surviving the Winter as a Cyclist
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
By Gloria Liu
I've been thinking a lot about motivation lately. It's a tough time of year for cyclists. Here in Colorado we're stuck in the middle of a stupidly cold spell that's kept most of us inside on the trainer for days in a row. My races seem so far off in the future, and getting on the trainer again feels equivalent to beating the crap out of my soul with a pillowcase full of soap (yes, that's a Step Brothers reference).
I work with 40 other cyclists and triathletes at TrainingPeaks, and trust me when I say that everyone struggles during this time of year. Over the past week, while waiting in the kitchen together to microwave our various brands of organic frozen burritos (so Boulder), I've been waxing philosophical with my colleagues about how we stay motivated to train in the winter.
Visualization and Variety
No ones loathes the trainer more than Bryan Alders, who races professionally for Marin Bikes. He'll even come into the Pain Cave, our affectionate nickname for the office gym, to shame you when you're training indoors on a day that he's deemed suitable for outdoor riding. Bryan keeps himself sane by mixing it up with backcountry and skate skiing, as well as a little running. Some people might stress about missing a day on the bike to do another sport, but Bryan's philosophy is that there's a bigger picture. "I'm not just training so that I can race," he says. "I'm training because it's good for me, it keeps me healthy, and I want to be able to have fun and be active for a long time. It's a lifestyle choice."
Kelly Steuven, who's a cyclist and a runner, takes a mental skills approach. "The night before, I visualize how good I feel when I run, and how much I'm looking forward to my workout in the morning. Then, in the morning, I visualize how good I'm going to feel after my run."
My co-worker Adam Haid, founder of Erie Singletrack Advocates, admits that the hardest time is midweek, when he's already had two or three trainer workouts in a row and he's scheduled for a fourth. Besides "just getting it done," he also reminds himself, "I never regret a workout afterwards. I'm always glad I did it."
Lessons from a Fortune Cookie and a Set of Rollers
And what about me? What's my trick? I think I've finally got one, but in order to explain it I'd like to talk about Chinese food for a moment. Stay with me, this will make sense.
So I get this fortune cookie at lunch last week, and while I don't typically take these things seriously, this one was unusually practical. It read simply, "Begin. The rest is easy."
With these words in the back of my head, I rode rollers for the first time on Wednesday. I'd been staring at the set we have in the Pain Cave for months, too intimidated to hop on for fear of riding straight into the wall, or worse, into one of my unsuspecting colleagues. But faced with the prospect of another mind numbing hour on the trainer or the diversion of trying something new, I picked the rollers.
It was terrifying at first. As soon as I put both hands on the bars the bike would get squirrely, and I'd have to stop after just a few pedal strokes. But I kept at it, each time able to push just a few more revolutions before the wobbling would force me to grab the wall again and stop.
What I figured out over time was, the faster I pedaled, the easier and steadier the bike stayed, and that there came a point when I simply had to commit—to keeping my upper body very still, looking straight ahead, and just...pedaling. Each time I stopped, the hardest part was getting going again. But once I got moving, found my cadence, and focused, staying up was...well, easier than I thought.
So, what's my trick? Remembering that the hardest part is just getting started. Whether it's starting your workout for the day, or jumping back into training after you've been "off the wagon" for a while, getting going is tough. That's the law of inertia. An object at rest wants to stay at rest. But on the flip side, once an object is in motion, it wants to stay in motion.
March is around the corner and we know that on the Front Range, warmer days are coming. We need to get through the next few weeks, and then before we know it, winter will seem like a distant memory. So if you're struggling to get on the bike today, or to get outside to do something active, remember that first of all, you're not alone. Try some of the tips above—mix up your workouts, remember the "big picture", take on a new challenge, or visualize how good you'll feel afterwards.
Then, begin. The rest is easy.

Baylor's offense is still good.
La-Monroe might want to move their safeties back a little. Just a thought.

Head to head vs the Pac the B 12 is much weaker than it has been in the past usually the Big 12 is better top to bottom than the Pac but not this year
Vs the SEC its pretty unchanged despite dominance of the SEC the second teir of SEC teams are down a little (UGA, Florida, SC, LSU aren't getting much love) and after Bama-ATM play this weekend one of the elite teams will have a loss. Vs the ACC is where the Big 12 is getting hurt this year.
The ACC has pretty much blown last 5 and even 10 years and none of the programs spend any time ranked in the top 10 after the first few weeks of the season (could be wrong but I think there is some crazy stat that the only ACC team to finish ranked top 10 was 2010 VT you can make an argument the Big East was better than the ACC some years) however this season looks different since Clemson and FSU look like legit contenders and not the pretenders they have been last couple years and LVille looks like a much better program than WVA right now. Big 12 doesn't have an answer to FSU and Clemson with OU being down and Texas being a joke. Most Florida State fans would love to jump to the Big 12 if Miami or Clemson would join them but I think those feelings will be gone soon if they aren't already.
Big 12 is still good, but solid yet unspectacular programs like T Tech are not going to get the respect they deserve which they would in another conference. Conference really should be a 12 teamer with BYU and LVille in their first year and a championship game. Its a huge mistake looking back not adding those 2 schools both would be good fits and BYU would have lessened the academic hit of taking Lville and WVA.
Umm, no the big 12 offenses are way down this year.

Tulsa is our shot at 3. If we can beat them, we can win two in the B12. It's that bad. KU, K-State, WVU and Texas are all beatable.
At this point I see only two wins for ISU. Tulsa and KU and they could get beat just as easy in those two.

We can beat WVU, TCU, Tech, KSU, UT, KU IMO. At least have a fighting chance in those games if we can improve week by week.
ku and k-state are certainly within isu's reach today, yes. i'd think snyder would rather be playing either of them rather than the next two scheduled - @ oSu and baylor.

The WWE held their conference call today for financiers and talked about a number of subjects. According to prowrestling.com on Feb. 20, one of the big topics that came up was that the WWE was setting up a three hour block to compete directly with "TNA Impact Wrestling" on Thursday nights.
This will likely damage the ratings for TNA Impact Wrestling when it comes to watching the shows live. Since the WWE Network is streaming, fans of "Impact" can just DVR the show and return to watch it later while streaming the WWE live shows on Thursday nights instead.
The shows that the WWE will broadcast on the WWE Network on Thursday nights include "Legends House" at 8 p.m. EST, "NXT TV" at 9 p.m. EST and "WWE Superstars" at 10 p.m. EST.
"Legends House" is the reality show similar to "Big Brother" where former WWE stars and legends will live under one roof and drive each other crazy. Participants include Rowdy Roddy Piper, Mean Gene Okerlund, Hacksaw Jim Duggan and more. It debuts on April 10.
Of course, NXT Wrestling is the minor league system for the WWE where fans can see tomorrow's stars wrestling today. That show will kick off with a live episode the week the WWE Network launches and continue on weekly from there.
Finally, "WWE Superstars" is the B-show that used to air on WWE.com and will now move to its new home on the WWE Network on Feb. 27.

A cheer went up on the internet recently when journalist Sheri Fink won the Pulitzer Prize for investigative journalism – for an article she published online at ProPublica.com. It was an accolade appreciated by those who publish online, a forum long seen as less legitimate than print media. So will this recognition of the legitimacy of online journalism by the world's most respected writing prize have a trickle-down effect to that other form of online reporting? Yes, I'm talking about blogs.
Blogs have come a long way since the early zeros, evolving from personal, chatty 'web logs' into a growing force in today's media. Blogs have become respectable, even powerful.
The internet has revolutionised the way we share news and spread information. There is an element of citizen journalism to blogging, and anyone with a net connection can take on the role of reporting information that might otherwise remain unpublished. But blogging has not yet managed to gain respect as a form of writing, often dismissed as amateur and unprofessional, and as such, less reliable than mainstream media or even online journalism.
There is some weight to those claims. Blogging as a medium is still in its infancy, and is still finding its way in regards to best practice. In many cases, blogs focus on opinion more than reportage. And while journalists are expected to adhere to a code of ethics, online rules of conduct are still emerging.
However, in some ways blogging can be a more reliable source of news. Their independence is where their power lies – blogs do not bow to the same pressures and constraints of mainstream print journalism. For example, a Sunday broadsheet may decide not to print a bad restaurant review, but bloggers have no such constraints and a quick search on the internet will quickly reveal the true nature of an eatery.
While many newspapers are attempting to keep up with online trends, simply reproducing print articles online shows little understanding of the medium. More innovative online journalism is coming out of internet-based Australian news sites such as Crikey and New Matilda, who are pushing boundaries in the way they report the news online in a timely, smart and interactive manner. Blogging has similar strengths – and there is arguably little difference between the writing coming out of those online journals and top blogs such as Anthony Lowenstein and group blog Larvatus Prodeo.
It is worth pointing out that the enormous Huffington Post blog is also one of the world's most powerful media outlets. Locally, our own media conglomerates have attempted to recreate its success with home-grown versions such as News Limited's The Punch and ABC's The Drum. If our mainstream media is starting to blog, it is a fair indication that the medium is a meaningful one.

TAB: Britney Spears "Calling Off" Wedding Because Jason Trawick "Faking" Romance
"Britney Calling Off Wedding," reads the headline of a National Enquirer piece about Britney Spears that goes on to claim she's wondering whether her romance with Jason Trawick "is nothing but a business deal cooked up by her dad," and if her fiance's "faking" it.
According to the tab, after Jamie Spears became his daughter's conservator, "he got tired of keeping tabs on her and hired Jason as her agent."
But there was an ulterior motive for hiring Trawick, says the mag.
A so-called "source" says, "Jamie wanted Britney to fall for Jason so he wouldn't have to be with her all the time," and his "plan apparently worked like a charm" because the two eventually began dating and even got engaged.
The Enquirer then notes the couple was supposed to wed in Hawaii in December (NOT TRUE), but Spears has been "souring on their romance ever since Jason was appointed to join her dad as co-conservator in April."
The reason for her change of heart?
Trawick is now "at her side all the time," and Spears "doesn't like it, but she has no choice," says the tab's "source."
"Britney suspects that her father and Jason were playing her," adds the Enquirer's alleged insider.
Of course, the claims are all coming from the same magazine that reported Spears was "jealous" of Simon Cowell's girlfriend Carmen Electra (NOT TRUE), was "tired of being a mom" (WRONG), was forced to have a speech coach on "The X Factor" (NOPE), and has a diet that's leading to health issues (INCORRECT).
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Regardless, a rep for Spears tells Gossip Cop the Enquirer's latest tale is also "not true."

According to an experiment conducted by CNN (with the help of several chemists and computer experts), it just might be possible to discover what happened to missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 from recovered cell phones. Of course, that also depends on finding the missing jet.
CNN reported April 24 that if cell phones of the passengers and crew are recovered, it could be possible to retrieve information from the memories of the devices.
Correspondent Ted Rowlands of CNN took a cell phone, loaded a video of the Chicago waterfront, took a few photos, then had the phone encased in a container of salt water at the Shedd Aquarium that mimicked conditions within the Indian Ocean, where the missing Malaysia Airlines jet is believed to have ultimately gone down. After eight days, the cell phone was pulled from the salt water. Although the salt had eaten away some of the plastic of the phone and encrusted some of the internal mechanisms of the phone, after a good scraping, the phone's memory was retrieved and accessed.
As it turns out, although there were some visual glitches, most of the information stored on the phone, including the video shot just before the phone was submerged, were not only retrievable but seemed to be in fairly good condition.
Conclusion: If the cell phones from those aboard Flight MH370 are found, it could be possible to access their memories and retrieve data.
However, as the experiment conducted by Rowlands and CNN only lasted eight days, the fact that the search for the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 has moved past 50 days, the damage to the cell phones could be somewhat more extensive.
Still, the experts employed by CNN believe that cell phones retrieved from a submerged jet could give up valuable data, including information that could solve the mystery as to what happened on Flight MH370 that caused it to alter course (it was on its way to Beijing, China, from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). Extensive searches since the plane disappeared on March 8 have turned up nothing. It is believed that the Boeing jet went down in the Indian Ocean somewhere west of the western Australia with all 239 passengers and crew members aboard.
In the latest development, a senior U. S. defense official (wishing to remain anonymous) told Reuters that the search for the missing jet could take years to find.
April 26 marked the 50th day of the plane's disappearance.

TSA Likely to Relax Restrictions on Liquids in 2009
The Transportation Security Administration will likely relax the restrictions on carrying liquids through airport security screening checkpoints in a year, TSA Chief Kip Hawley said in an interview.
"I think realistically in one year we, the TSA and foreign colleagues, will be a position" to relax liquids restrictions," Hawley told the Middle Seat Thursday. "We are within a year of having the ability to differentiate threat liquids through the screening process."
TSA has been testing X-ray machines that can detect liquid materials used in bomb-making and the technology is close to be ready for widespread use. The X-ray machines themselves are already widely deployed in the U.S., but the software necessary for the liquids detection and evaluation is still being tested.
Once it's ready, it can be rolled out quickly not only in the U.S. but also in Europe and other countries.
"We've seen it work in labs and we've had very positive communications with international colleagues," Mr. Hawley said. Just this week the U.S. has had several days of meetings on the issue with the European Union.
After an alleged plot to use liquid explosives to down airlines surfaced in London, the U.S. has limited the volume of liquid travelers can bring to the airport to three-ounce quantities carried in a one-quart plastic bag. The restriction has been a source of frequent complaints and frustrations for travelers, and the requirement to remove the baggie and send it separately through X-ray screen slows up security lines.
One issue TSA is working on now is whether the new X-ray machines, 600 of which will be deployed by the end of this year and 900 by the end of fiscal year 2009, will be accurate enough to detect threat liquids inside bags, or whether travelers will still have to remove liquids for screening. Restrictions on the quantity of liquids might be relaxed first, still with a requirement to remove liquids from carry-on luggage.
The X-ray machines TSA needs for the liquids detection won't be in every airport once the new software is ready, but will be at most major checkpoints. At small airports, hand-held liquids scanners might be used until the necessary equipment is deployed nationwide.
"We are deploying the hardware now to accomplish this. It's just a matter of having the software completed," Mr. Hawley said. "It's not ready yet, but we are highly confident it will be effective."
Travelers will anxiously await the day that it is.

"The Obsession" is a 2006 Lifetime movie that is most likely inspired by the true story of Jose Anibal Macedo aka Anibal Macedo. Directed by David Winkler and produced by Obsession Street Pictures, the Lifetime flick stars Daphne Zuniga, Sebastian Spence and Elise Gatien, according to Radio Times.
"The Obsession" synopsis/plot
A ballet teacher becomes obsessed with one of his underage ballet students.
As stated by the Movies Based On True Stories Archives/Database, the movie is most likely inspired by a major case involving a ballet teacher's obsession with one of his students.
Court records show that Ellicott City ballet dance instructor Jose Anibal Macedo, 41, was arrested and sentenced to six years in prison for sexually assaulting one of his female students. Jose Anibal Macedo worked as a dance instructor at the Annapolis Ballet Company, according to The Baltimore Sun.
According to the Movies Based On True Stories Archives/Database, the producers could have used the widely-known case as a model for the movie. Jose Anibal Macedo was well-respected ballet teacher, who even won the confidence of the victim's mother. Jose Anibal Macedo wore a brace and a cane during his highly-publicized 2003 trial.

Free mulch-compost for spring garden
Looking for free mulch-compost for your spring garden? The City of Fort Worth in Tarrant County has a great recycling program whereby they offer residents free mulch-compost at the city's Solid Waste Services Recycling Drop-Off Centers.
If you don't live in the Fort Worth area, check with your own city or county recycling centers to see if they offer free mulch to residents. Also, most parks or forestry departments often provide wood chip piles free for residents to pick up.
If you prefer the DIY route, watch the video above-left to learn How to Make Your Own Mulch.
Free mulch-compost
According to Solid Waste Services,
- Fort Worth residents may pick up free mulch-compost at any of the three drop-off stations.
- Mulch-compost piles are clearly labeled, and are self-serve. Bring a sturdy container and a shovel.
- If you use a pickup truck, you must use a tarp to cover the free mulch-compost load to prevent litter while driving the route to your spring garden.
- Mulch-compost is an excellent addition to any landscape. It protects plants from temperature extremes, deters weed growth and helps retain moisture so you can water less often. Using the free mulch-compost from Solid Waste in your spring garden is a good way to do your part in recycling.
Drop-off stations
- Drop-off stations are open to Fort Worth homeowners and some renters for disposal of trash, spring garden yard trimmings and brush and recycling items and for pick-up of free mulch-compost.
- To use a drop-off station, show a recent Fort Worth water bill or current driver's license with a Fort Worth address to prove you have an active sanitation account.
- Renters with a Fort Worth address may use drop-off stations if they have a current Fort Worth water bill. Apartment renters may use the stations for recycling only.

Thanks to our brave firemen and women, the wildfires in Central Texas are currently under control. Strong winds and high temperatures on Sunday kept the safety officials on their toes. As the Central Texas authorities issued red flag warning levels, the safety officials have kept a close watch on the current fire scenario.
The fire that started Labor Day weekend in Bastrop County consumed an enourmous amount of the Lost Pines and devastated many homes. There were several fires in Central Texas that broke out the same weekend due to the extreme, dry, windy conditions. Many of us in Central Texas were extra vigilant and worried about our own homes and an evacuation plan. It also alerts us property owners to check if we have adequate home insurance.
As reported by a 2010 survey, most Texas real estate insurance claims were weather related. Top claims of the past year were related to wind, water, and hail. Though these claims are generally covered under the homeowner's standard policy, people need to purchase separate flood insurance via the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program).
In case there is hail and wind exclusion on the policy, it can be obtained via the TWIA (Texas Windstorm Insurance Association).
Make sure you have adequate insurance policies to protect your real estate investments.

As you travel around Evergreen, you will notice crosses on churches that are partially covered with snow or standing stark and plain against a background of trees without leaves-unless surrounded by evergreens. Just as winter leads to spring, the lonely cross can lead to the Good News of Easter.
The Celts referenced the cross throughout their day as part of their prayers, and crosses-both plain and ornate-were near each church for people to stop and pray at. The Celtic cross stands with the large O in the center, eternity held up by the cross, our remembrance of creation and redemption. Or is it the sun of Easter shining through the dark icon of the crucifixion? (Noel Dermott O'Donoghue, The Mountain behind the Mountain) Regardless, as we move through Lent, we can use the cross as we go through our day to remind us to pray.
May the cross of the crucifixion tree
Upon the wounded back of Christ
Deliver me from distress,
From death and from spells.
The cross of Christ without fault,
All outstretched towards me;
O God, bless to me my lot
Before my going out.
What harm soever may be therein
May I not take thence,
For the sake of Christ the guileless,
For the sake of the King of power.
In name of the King of life,
In name of the Christ of love,
In name of the Holy Spirit,
The Triune of my strength.
Prayer of Protection, Carmina Gadelica, III, p. 109

ISS crew work cycle remains unchanged: wake 6:32am EDT; sleep 10:02pm.
Arigato Gozaimasu! Congratulations, JAXA! There is Hope in space! At ~5:09pm EDT, the JPM (Japanese Pressurized Module) of the JEM 'Kibo' laboratory complex was opened and ingressed by Aki Hoshide and Karen Nyberg for the first time, joined later by the rest of the crew who clearly enjoyed the voluminous super laboratory. (Kibo is permanently attached at the Node-2 (Harmony) portside hatch since last night.)
FE-1 Oleg Kononenko performed the periodic (currently daily) checkout/verification of IP-1 airflow sensors in the various RS (Russian Segment) hatchways, including the DC1-to-Soyuz tunnel, and the FGB-to-Node passageway. (This is especially important when the ventilation/circulation system has to cope with a larger crew on board, currently ten persons, and one of the two Russian SKV air conditioners off (SKV-1).)
After last night's successful gross leak check of the Kibo/Node-2 vestibule by MS1 Karen Nyberg following the berthing of Kibo to the Node-2 port hatch (7:01pm), FE-2 Garrett Reisman this morning terminated the overnight fine leak check, which confirmed successful hermeticity of the linkup.
Afterwards, MS4 Aki Hoshide & Nyberg were the principal crewmembers charged with today's opening up of the Japanese laboratory. Before hatch opening and first ingress in Kibo at 5:09pm, --
Hoshide & Nyberg spent ~6 hrs between them on JPM-to-Node-2 vestibule outfitting, setting up equipment including stringing & connecting power cables for routing electricity to Kibo,
Reisman & Hoshide activated Channel 'B' power to provide initial environmental conditions inside the laboratory for human access; this also allowed transfer of command capability for Kibo from MCC-Houston to JAXA's TKSC (Tsukuba Space Center) in Japan which will activate the A-string systems tomorrow (FD6),
Kononenko replaced the aft NPRV (Negative Pressure Relief Valve) in the Node-2 port hatch with the regular IMV (Intermodule Ventilation) valve, and
Aki completed Kibo vestibule outfitting by installing the nitrogen (N2) supply jumper/hose between Node-2 and JPM.
After ingressing the laboratory wearing PPE (Personal Protective Equipment, i.e., surgical masks plus goggles) for the first few minutes until it was determined that the cabin air was clean of any debris, the crewmembers set up the JPM by -
Completing the purge of the N2 system to remove any contamination from the lines,
Collecting air samples in the JPM using the AK-1M sampler kit before air duct installation,
Disconnecting and removing the FSE (Flight Support Equipment) Accumulator from the TCS LTL (Thermal Control System/Low Temperature Loop),
Reconfiguring the TCA GN2 (Thermal Control Assembly Gaseous Nitrogen) Manual Accumulator by opening its isolation valve,
Transferring & installing two hard dummy panels from the JLP (Japanese Logistics Pressurized Module) and installing them in the JPM in preparation of EPS1 (Electrical Power Systems 1) Rack & WS (Work Station) Rack installation (access to JLP requiring temporary activation of the JLP MKAM/Minimum Keep Alive Monitor fan as usual),
Transferring the JEMRMS (JEM Robotic Manipulator System) Rack from the JLP to the JPM,
Deploying necessary drag-through cables from Node-2 into Kibo,
Removing stowage bags from in front of the EPS2 & DMS2 (Data Management System 2) Racks and stowing them near the JEM AL (Airlock), and
Configuring the Kibo lab with two PFEs (Portable Fire Extinguishers) from Node-1 & FGB stowage, plus one PBA/QDMA (Portable Breathing Apparatus/Quick-Don Mask Assembly), a second PBA/QDMA to be added on FD9 after EVA-3.
FE-1 Kononenko had two hours set aside for working a major IFM (In-flight Maintenance) on the Russian ASU toilet facility in the SM (Service Module), removing the failed MNR-NS gas/liquid separator pump of the facility and replacing it with a new unit delivered on STS-124. As of now, the IFM appears to have been successful: the ASU is working nominally, so far.
Major IFM was also performed by FE-2 Reisman who removed the failed desiccant/sorbent bed #2 (202) of the US CDRA (Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly) and replaced it with a new unit delivered on STS-124. FE-2-17 Chamitoff assisted in ythe task as per 'dedicated handover'.
CDR Sergey Volkov continued the annual inspection and photo-documentation of window panes in the SM, started earlier (5/28). The observed defects were recorded in image and text files on the RSK1 laptop for subsequent downlink via U.S. OCA assets. (Objective of the inspection, which uses a digital still camera (Nikon D1X w/SB-28DX flash) and voice recorder, today was to assess the pane surfaces on SM windows 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 for any changes (new cavities, scratches, new or expanded old stains or discolorations affecting transparency properties) since the last inspection, performed by Oleg Kotov on 6/26/07. The new assessment will be compared to the earlier observations. Defects are measured with the parallax method which uses eyeball-sighting with a ruler and a right isosceles triangle to determine the defects' size and position with respect to the window's internal surface (parallax being the apparent change in an object's position resulting from changing the observer's position).)
Kononenko serviced the Matryoshka-R (RBO-3-2) radiation payload, which has taken over the ESA/RSC-Energia experiment ALTCRISS (Alteino Long Term monitoring of Cosmic Rays on the ISS/ALC) with its Spectrometer (AST) and ALC equipment on DC1 panel 429, performing the periodic test on the AST and its current ALC-948 PCMCIA memory card, using the RSK1 laptop for checking the #948 PCMCIA (Portable Computer Memory Card International Adapter).
CDR Mark Kelly & PLT Ken Ham worked in the Node-1 starboard alcove, installing a check valve-hose for A/L CCAA (Common Cabin Air Assembly) safing.
Volkov set up the TTM-2 and 'Kelvin-Video' batteries for charging for another operational run of the Russian KPT-2 science payload BAR-RM. Charging will be terminated tomorrow (6/5), with data gathering starting Friday (6/6) using the RSE-1 laptop, with downlinking via BSR-TM channel. (Objective of the payload is to experiment with ISS leak detection based on environmental data anomalies (temperature, humidity, and ultrasound emissions) at leak locations. The payload uses a remote infrared thermometer (Kelvin-Video), a thermohygrometer (Iva-6A), a heat-loss anemometer/thermometer (TTM-2), an ultrasound analyzer (AU-01), and a leak detector (UT2-03) to determine physical background signs of loss of ISS pressure integrity which could be indicative of leaks in the working compartments of the station. Measurements are taken in specific zones (13 in SM PkhO and 4 in DC1), both with lights & fans turned on and off. )
Sergey also collected Elektron feed water samples from downstream of the BKO multifiltration unit in a drinking bag (paket dlya napitkov) for return to Earth, to monitor the quality of the water being fed from the KOV EDV container through the BKO to the Elektron-VM oxygen generator.
Oleg removed existing tapes from both VDS VTRs (Video Distribution Subsystem/Video Tape Recorders), labeled them for stowage & return to Houston, then loaded the VTRs with fresh tapes.
At ~9:22am EDT, Volkov & Kononenko linked up with MBI-8 PROFILAKTIKA specialists at TsUP-Moscow via VHF/audio to discuss physical exercise needs for the MBI-8 experiment. (Data yields from the TVIS treadmill exercises have been insufficient for analysis. Since the Russian VB-3 VELO ergometer does not record exercise data, the discussion focused on ways for the crew to measure and downlink adequate VELO exercise data for MBI-8.)
FE-2 Reisman spent about 3 hrs on generic handover activities with Greg Chamitoff (who assumes Garrett's FE-2 position after Shuttle departure), starting with Crew Safety Handovers, using a detailed 'handover book'. (During these periods crewmembers are scheduled together to complete various designated standard tasks for familiarizing the new station resident with procedures, caveats, etc. There are also dedicated handovers for selected critical activities. )
Greg Chamitoff also had time reserved for familiarizing himself with the onboard CMS (Crew Medical Systems) exercise equipment.
Kononenko performed the regular updates of onboard SODF (Station Operations Data File) emergency/warning & procedures books with new material delivered on STS-124. (These include specific Emergency Books deployed in the Lab, Soyuz, SM, A/L (normally in FGB) and Node-2, Warning Books in the Lab, SM and FGB, a Leak Pinpoint Repair Kit in the PMA-1 (Pressurized Mating Adapter 1), plus a POC (Portable Onboard Computer) Book and Printer Cue Cards.)
Volkov had 30 min set aside for reviewing the new DOUG (Dynamic Onboard Ubiquitous Graphics) software setups for the upcoming SSRMS (Space Station Remote Manipulator System) and JEM RMS (Robotic Manipulator System) operations planned for tomorrow (FD6)
With assistance by Reisman, Greg Chamitoff performed the periodic offloading of the Lab CCAA (Common Cabin Air Assembly) dehumidifier's condensate tank, filling a CWC (Contingency Water Container, #1062) with the collected water slated for processing. No samples were required. (Transferred quantity is determined by allowing tank and CWC equalize with each other. Tank quantity stabilizes at a value higher than the neutral point. Waiting time ~30 min.)
The crewmembers completed their regular 2.5-hr. physical workout program (about half of which is used for setup & post-exercise personal hygiene) on the CEVIS cycle ergometer (CDR, FE-2, TVIS treadmill (CDR, FE-1), RED resistive exercise device (CDR, FE-2) and VELO cycle with bungee cord load trainer (FE-1).
Afterwards, Oleg copied the exercise data file to the MEC (Medical Equipment Computer) laptop for downlink, including the daily wristband HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) data of the workouts on RED, followed by their erasure on the HRM storage medium (done six times a week).
In the SM, the FE-1 completed the routine maintenance of the SOZh/ECLSS system, including ASU toilet facilities systems/replaceables. Removal & replacement of the failed separator pump is on tomorrow's schedule for Kononenko at ~9:30-11:30am EDT. (Regular daily SOZh maintenance consists of replacement of the KTO & KBO solid waste containers, replacement of an EDV-SV waste water and EDV-U urine container, and processing U.S. condensate water as it becomes available in a filled CWC from the Lab humidifier.)
CDR Volkov performed the daily IMS (Inventory Management System) maintenance, updating/editing its standard 'delta file' including stowage locations, for the regular weekly automated export/import to its three databases on the ground (Houston, Moscow, Baikonur).
FE-2-17 Chamitoff had another 2.5 hrs for himself for general orientation (station familiarization & acclimatization) as is standard daily rule for fresh crewmembers for the first two weeks after starting station residency.
Kononenko was to check in Node-2 to verify proper installation of the CVIU (Common Video Interface Unit) VCP J01 video cap at the S3 video camcorder port that is required for transmitting video from the Shuttle to ISS.
Fossum, Garan, Kelly, Ham, Volkov and Chamitoff conducted a one-hour review of timeline & procedures for tomorrow's EVA-2 by Mike Fossum (EV1) & Ron Garan (EV2).
Later, after completing Airlock Equipment Lock (A/L EL) configuration for the spacewalk, including recharging batteries and checking EMU equipment, Mike & Ron will begin their 'campout' in the 'Quest' A/L, starting mask prebreathe, while configuring EVA tools, at ~8:57pm, then closing hatches and initiating depressurization of the CL (Crewlock) from 14.7 to 10.2 psi. Sleep for them and the ISS crew will commence at 10:02pm, for the Shuttle crew at ~10:32pm. (The overnight Campout (nachalo desaturatsiy = desaturation start) in the A/L CL (Crewlock) for denitrogenation/pre-breathe at 10.2 psi lasts about 8.5 hrs. First, the two spacewalkers will perform PBA (Portable Breathing Apparatus) mask prebreathe for denitrogenation, while readying their tools & equipment, then depress the CL from 14.7 to 10.2 psi for their sleep period, to last until ~6:32am EDT tomorrow. The CL hatch will then be cracked at ~7:12am (i.e., temporarily repressurized) for a hygiene break/with mask prebreathe for Fossum & Garan. Around 8:22am, the hatch will be closed again for EVA preps in 10.2 psi, followed by EMU purge & prebreathe. Afterwards, Mark Kelly will support CL depressurization until egress.)
EVA-2, beginning tomorrow nominally at ~11:32am EDT, will last an estimated 6h 30min, i.e., ending at 6:02pm. PLT Ken Ham will again be IV (Intravehicular) crewmember.
--- EVA-1 main objectives are to:
Install Fwd/Aft JTVEs (JEM Television Equipment, i.e., 2 cameras) for monitoring JEM RMS ops,
Remove 7 thermal covers from each of the JEM RMS' six joints & one end effector,
Prepare the JPM zenith ACBM (Active Common Berthing Mechanism) for JLP relocation on FD7 (remove ACBM cover; release MMOD/Micrometeoroid Orbital Debris shield launch restraints),
Clear up late-discovered MLI (Multi-Layer Insulation) cover anomaly on the JPM zenith CBM (could interfere with the 4 capture latches during JLP relocation/berthing),
Install JPM trunnion and keel pin covers,
Prepare S1 Nitrogen Tank Assembly on S1 truss and spare on ESP-3 (External Stowage Platform 3) for R&R during EVA 3, and
Retrieve ETVCG (External TV Camera Group) camera from CP9 (Camera Port 9) on the left truss.
At ~5:35pm, Greg is scheduled for another regular PMC (Private Medical Conference) via S- & Ku-band audio/video.
Transfers Update: N2 transfer from the Shuttle began today. No O2 transfer is panned for 1J. One filled water CWC (#1098) was transferred to the ISS. As of FD3, middeck resupply transfers were 37% of total, overall cargo transfers 12% of total.
No CEO (Crew Earth Observation) photo targets uplinked for today.
