Let us be candid. In this day and age, there is frequently chatter after such an occasion, when an athlete looks more muscled, or shows herculean stamina, heretofore unseen. There was message board chatter after Berto-Ortiz, and now Berto has magnified it. (Hogan)
UPDATE: A few hours after he implied something wasn't quite right with Victor Ortiz when they fought, maybe just maybe after he got a call from a friendly lawyer, as opposed to an UNFRIENDLY lawyer, Andre Berto backtracked, big-time. On Twitter, he wrote, "Wow why does everyones mind go straight to PEDs. Calm down everyone I was just talkin about Ortiz eating his spinach like popeye lol." Er, uh, sure bro... "He wanted to be strong on fight night," Berto wrote. "I know the lil dude at Whole Foods who hooks him up. Good luck in your Iron Man @viciousortiz."
Another day, another juicy Twitter war taking place in the Twitterspehere. Today, it's Andre Berto and Victor Ortiz mixing it up, in a manner just as hardcore as the display they put on when they tangled on April 16 in Connecticut.
You'll recall there were knockdowns aplenty, and while both men hit the deck, it was Ortiz, a clear underdog, who got the nod, via UD12 (scores were 114-111, 114-112, 115-110). In his welterweight debut, he took Berto's WBC welterweight crown on that night.
Berto responded to a Tweet from one "Twash-Bag," who wrote, @AndreBerto "did they drug test ortiz? I've never seen him that strong before... Looked like vargas vs de la hoya."
Berto responded, "Yo this is the main question I get from fans and boxing people. Did they drug test Ortiz? Let me clear the air now!! Your right there is a reason why Ortiz had so much energy, a reason he could take my heavy shots and keep ticking. N there is a reason why he came into the ring 165 pounds. I know people close to him and his camp and I know exactly we he was taking. it wasn't Flintstone vitamins!! But it is what it is I should of beat him anyways but it wasn't me that night. Ortiz wasn't him either lol. Lesson learned time to forget about the past and look forward to the future.
When confronted that he was indulging in a sour grapes session, Berto wrote: "Never bitter never sour Ortiz fought a good fight and got the W. I take my L like a man n come back better Iam lookin forward 2 the rematch."
For his part, so far, Ortiz has maintained his composure. He replied, "Berto needs to stop I'll have to hurt him again. Me I guess im not too bad for not havin a heart or courage ;)"
Brand new world we live and write in, my friends...
Comment on this article
Wow! These chumps just believe that they can continue to keep attacking Aispanic Pinoys and Hispanic Mexican-Americans with all type of mythical bullspit about takes magical PEDs or loading your gloves with magical Plastic of Paris jive. WTF! Somebodee just oughta man up and accept that he got an arse thrashed. Holla!
I don't know if Ortiz was on anything or not that night. But I thought something might be up somewhere about the third round of the fight. I was sitting there watching the fight about three oclock in the morning on mute like I usually do(you guys can do it) and I said to myself " Who is this guy" . I am not saying a guy can not completely transform him self from one fight to the another but it's not the usual case. And people do not give me all that nonsense about the fact that he was moving up and had all this new found strength because 140 was weakening him. The guy was about 165 pound the night of the fight. Most of the time when guys gain that much weight from the weigh in to the fight it means they slacked on there cardio training and are really not in great shape. This guy was not only in shape but he had endless energy. It may sound like Berto is a sore looser but he is only repeating what trainers, fighters, fan, and a whole lot of the boxing community have already said. I can not wait until the rematch. I don't think it will go 12...................
Da Vicious One gave Berto a straight, up-in-ya-grill arse thrashing. Da sucka Berto oughta just move on and learn to BOX correctly. Ortiz got on his thump of that chump. Berto so-called martial art punches need to go. Da game is boksin' with glove on for a reason. A skill boxer whup da heck out of a _______ on his worst day. There are differences forms of kick arse for a reason. One never intersect one with the other for a moola reason. It is all about the prize, not the pride. Berto gets his arse dusted by Ortiz 99 out of 100 times. I told people forever that Berto was a green chump, who just cannot boksin' get down. Holla!
Berto needs to stop making excuses and work n his BOXING SKILLS!!! I had a convo with a buddy of mine who's about to turn pro and likes Berto. He said something about Berto has a defense. I said defense?!!? What defense? Ortiz can punch and moved up strong. Berto's chin has been under question but a lot of that has to do with bad footwork and fundementals. When I was watching the fight and Berto continued to fight with his hans low after Ortiz rung his bell in the first rd. I said to myself advantage Ortiz. Berto's stamina has also been under question an his inside fighting game doesn't exist to date. You (BERTO) need to get off twitter making excuses and trying to save face and focus on your fundementals cuz they suck and athleticism will only get you so far in this game. Snap out of it homie, you got work to do. You waste energy, your jab is terrible, you got too voices in yor corner which is no good, your hands are low at the wrong time and you fight pretty...an I don't mean that in a good way. Your trainer did nothing for you when you needed him most and your skills have grown NONE since the Collazo fight which is an indictment on your trainer. I don't know if your not listening to him or he brought you as far as he can. Point the finger at yourself first(CHRIST said that). You could've won that fight if you didn't blow it the sixth rd. Teddy Altas mentioning boxers who don't know how to box...YOU'RE on that list buddy. As far as Ortiz did or he didn't who's to say in this day an age, but that's not where your focus needs to be. YOU lost that fight...period!!! When your gameplan wasn't working you had NO plan B, no adjustment what so ever. Step up your skills and your ring IQ and you'll win the rematch. Train HARDER and better your odds of winning!!! Even after the fight was over you had a look n your face like you thought you'd get another gift, not that night, and not in the rematch unless you raise the bar. Tough love for you youngsta. Get to it. Dueces
Too many voices in your corner.
I don't have time to correct all the mistakes, you know what I'm saying. Kids pressing me to go to the playground. Dueces
Right-On RealTalk(sweet post)....What can a fighter gain from sniping his opponents character After the fight? Now is the time to trek up to the Himalayan Mountains. ...get some inner peace and reflect on the solution to your pugilistic problems.... then come back better than ever...NEVER SAY..."that wasn't me out there"... Of course it was you, that was you all day long, pretending you knew the rope-a-dope and shoulder-roll while nearly getting pummelled into submissision along the ropes..post fight postering is not what real winners do.
The usual sour grapes. Dont talk. Get a rematch and try to change the outcome. Be a man.
@amayseng.........I really respect everything you said because you make a sound argument and good points . But I mainly respect it because its your "opinion" . And just like you have your opinion I have mine based on what I saw. My assessment of what I saw had nothing to do with Berto but all to do with how Ortiz looked . And in to me and many other people it didn't look anything like the victor we saw before. The bottom line is that all we do is speculate on what we think we know. When the truth None of us really know a d*** thing about what goes on behind the scenes and we don't know who's using Peds or not. But bloging is fun. Not a forum to say whether you're right and someone else is wrong bro, or sis of you are a woman. I just say that people need to get educated on the game and make opinions based on what they seen with their own eyes . Don't be a sheep and say what you think and if someone disagrees then hey that sparks debate. Boxing has the worst drug screening practices of any sport and that's a consensus. So why do people think its so far fetched that guys could be using......lol ......don't be fooled folks. If there is a way to cheat then there will always be a group willing to go that route. On any level of any sport.......... And I'm not saying you're ignorant amayseng I am speaking to anyone who has tunnel vision . Be blessed !!!!!!!!
TEACH, Real Talk, TEACH! PREACH, Real Talk, PREACH! AMEN, brotha! Ya Da MAN with da righteous PLAN. Berto oughta listen to you, because da sucka will again be another Flop-O! No doubt, there were too many voices in his corner, and not enough old-schooling. Holla!
Wow! There is more than "a recent history in all of sports," concerning PEDs and doping. This jive has being going on for tons of lifetimes. But it is hyped like a muthajoker. A low percentage of athletes use these PEDs, because they largely gives placebo affects. If a sportsperson ain't got it, he/she will benefit negatively from PEDs or prayers or Jack and Jill, and won't be able to find a molehill. And that is a hard fact, Jack! So myth believers of that jive, should get their money back. Mixing water with water is much better than PEDs and doping. Hehehehe! Da Vicious One ain't Barry Bonds. It's Vicious Victor Time, and somebodee oughta recognize! Holla!
man..some interesting points of view on this article..i like it..no need for me to reiterate all that been said so ill just this. regardless of whether ortiz used ped's or not, berto has fought and carried himself in such a way that he deserved everything he got that night. berto has never displayed the ability to think his way to a victory..to take away an opponents strengths and make him depend upon his weaknesses. not to mention, he literally guaranteed that victor be willing to die in the ring after pretty much calling him a coward in the media. did he think he would just show up and victor would just forfeit? berto needs to have the mentality of a guy who is at the bottom of the heap and fight that way in the ring. get off twitter and keep his comments to himself and let his skills, or lack thereof do the talking
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Bell: What's Next In Wild Season?
Locker Resting Up For Wildcats
Stanford Game To Kick Off At 4:00 p.m. (Versus TV)
Weekly Press Release in PDF Format

by Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
TUCSON, Ariz. - The resilient Huskies have already seen - and endured -- just about everything in their wild half season.
Yet Steve Sarkisian says Washington (3-3, 2-1 Pac-10) entered something new when it landed in the breezy desert Friday afternoon for Saturday night's game at 15th-ranked Arizona.
Kickoff is at 7:15 p.m. ESPN has the telecast. The Washington ISP Sports Network has the radio broadcast. And gohuskies.com has Gametracker, a live in-game chat and streaming audio.
"It's a playoff game. It's playoff time, second half of the season," Sarkisian said. "Two teams battling, right now tied for second place in the conference. So we're treating this like a playoff-game mentality.
"There is a real sense of urgency in our locker room right now."
The resurgent Dawgs haven't held a similar record or been this close to the top of the conference standings this far into a season in several years.
As senior safety and co-captain Nate Williams said, "3-3? My whole time being here we've never been 3-3 at this point."
Washington also hasn't gone on the road following a win away from home since Nov. 9, 2007. That was one week after UW won at Stanford, when Jake Locker was a redshirt freshman.
The Huskies' next away victory didn't come until three weeks ago, at USC.
"It's nice to know we can win on the road," linebacker Cort Dennison said. "A lot of kids on this team had never won on the road before. It gives guys a sense of confidence."
Sarkisian thinks that victory at USC could have a carryover here on Saturday. Washington has five of its last seven games inside Arizona Stadium.
"(And) I'd like to think they can have some confidence from beating a very good Oregon State team last week," the coach said of his players.
They do.
"To play a great team like that and to win the way we did, it just lets us know we can go to a bowl and play with anybody, really," Williams said.
That confidence will come in handy against U of A.
Arizona's defense has been the stingiest in the Pac-10, allowing just 284 yards and 13 points per game. The Wildcats have been particularly feisty against the run, surrendering 89.7 yards on the ground per game and just two touchdowns rushing all season.
Washington hopes it can answer that challenge with bullish sophomore running back Chris Polk, who last week romped for his third 100-yard game of the season and eighth in two seasons at UW. Plus, there's freshman flyer Jesse Callier and the outside running of Locker, the Huskies' dynamic quarterback.
A bad head cold and deep thigh bruise eliminated almost all of Locker's running and rollout passes two weeks ago as Washington tied for its lowest-scoring game in Sarkisian's two seasons as coach in a 24-14 loss to Arizona State. But Locker was healthier and back to his usual running self last week while tying a school record with five touchdown passes in the 35-34 double-overtime win against the Beavers.
Locker sat out the majority of Wednesday's practice to rest because Sarkisian said the indispensible co-captain's "whole body" was sore. But Locker was full go in the full practice at Husky Stadium on Thursday, and he was smiling and loose during the brief walkthrough at Arizona Stadium here on Friday. He will start for the 35th time in his Huskies career at Arizona.
"He's kind of like an NFL veteran," Sarkisian said. "Jake's got enough experience where he can still stay mentally sharp even though he's not getting the reps."
Look for Sarkisian to again test Locker's health with rollout passes and quarterback runs early against Arizona, as he did right away against Oregon State and Arizona State. That's so Sarkisian can get an immediate read on how much of the offense he will be able to unleash on the Wildcats.
The results of that test could be the key to whether Washington can stay in second place in the Pac-10 behind national No. 1 Oregon.
"When we're able to get outside the pocket and put pressure on the defense, it's an advantage for us," Locker said. "It creates some matchups problems I think, just because you've got to be conscious of both the run and pass at that point."
Another key will be how Washington tackles, Senio Kelemete on the left and Drew Schaefer on the right, fare against what Sarkisian calls Arizona's "monsters": defensive ends Ricky Elmore and Brooks Reed.
The wildest `Cats on the defensive front are first and second in the Pac-10 in sacks. Elmore has six, Reed has four and a half. Arizona leads the conference with 21 sacks.
It could be a prime chance for Polk to show off his greatly improved pass-blocking skills that Locker was raving about this week, to help out UW's tackles.
Sarkisian said Kelemete, the only member of the line not to change positions recently, is coming off perhaps his best game of the season. And coaches moved Schaefer from center to tackle to take more advantage of his athleticism, plus to get senior Greg Christine's intelligence and grasp of the offense in the conductor's role at center.
Washington's improving defense, which has stiffened in the second halves of the last three games, may see a new Arizona offense. New at least compared to the one Nick Foles was leading before he sprained his knee in the Wildcats' 24-7 win last week at Washington State. He's out for Saturday.
Foles was second in the nation with a 75 percent completion rate and led the Pac-10 with 306 yards passing per game before he got hurt. But replacement quarterback Matt Scott was third on the team in rushing last season, despite starting only three games before he was benched in favor of Foles.
Arizona also may fall back on the running of senior Nic Grigsby, an 1,110-yard rusher two seasons ago, against a Huskies defense that has had problems against the run all season.
The Dawgs know that. Sarkisian says they are as focused as they've been all season.
"I'm proud of our guys with the way they've been able to lock in on this game," the coach said. "They're ready to go."

T.J. Lee III
Little did his parents know that T.J. Lee III would stand for three-peat.
The Eastern Washington University cornerback headlined a list of 25 Eagles honored on the All-Big Sky Conference team Nov. 26 by earning first team honors for the third-straight season.
The 2009 graduate of West Seattle High School became only the third Eagle in school history – and the first on defense -- to accomplish that feat. In fact, only 45 total players in the 50-year history of the league have earned three first team accolades, as well as another three who have four-peated.
Also named to the first team for...

UW-Oregon Quotes | Videos: Romar | Players
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE - Abdul Gaddy kept relentlessly driving - even a half hour after this latest Dawgs disappointment.
The senior co-captain led a postgame meeting to quell his anger, as well as that of scrappy, all-out Desmond Simmons and the rest of the perplexing Huskies. They had just lost for the seventh time in eight games despite one of their grittier efforts of the season.
Washington hadn't lost seven of eight since coach Lorenzo Romar's first season, January into February of 2003.
"I'm upset. Desmond is upset. The whole team's upset," Gaddy said after he equaled career highs with 17 points and seven rebounds -- but could not offset 35-percent shooting and more untimely turnovers in a 65-52 loss to 23rd-ranked Oregon, the league's co-leader, Wednesday night at hushed Alaska Airlines Arena.
"We just had to come together to make sure we everybody is all right, that we have everybody's back," Gaddy said.
He then shook his head and dropped it.
"Just tired of losing," he said.
C.J. Wilcox kept shooting. Simmons tried, too, scrapping, hustling, diving, doing everything - everything except scoring enough.
Effort wasn't the issue. Hasn't been most of this baffling season, in which the Huskies (13-12, 5-7 Pac-12) began conference play 4-0 for just the fourth time in 35 years.
Scoring and results were the problems -- again. Washington has led just once in the last two games.
Wilcox made just 3 of 13 shots, and only one after halftime, as Washington had its season low in points.
UW had scored 76 in losing by five points a couple weeks ago at Oregon (20-5, 9-3). This time, the Ducks ended a three-game losing streak despite again being without point guard Dominic Artis.
This time, they simply outlasted the misfiring Huskies.
Washington's 65.3 points per league game are within the bottom third of the conference. But Romar has a pointed message for the many that lazily connect the dots that the scoring woes are the fault of the Huskies' new, high-post offense he installed this summer.
"I wish someone would challenge me on this - `Coach, you don't know what you are talking about' - I think we are getting good shots. We just haven't made them," he said.
"Tonight, I didn't think we were deficient in areas that were grieving. We just didn't make shots."
Last season's Huskies won the Pac-12 regular-season championship with a 14-4 league record while shooting 45 percent overall - albeit with two 2012 NBA first-round draft choices in Terrence Ross and Tony Wroten.
This season's Dawgs have shot 45 percent in just 10 of their 25 games. Wednesday was their eighth game under 40 percent, and the 35-percent shooting against Oregon's mix of man and zone defense was UW's third-worst night this season.
"Right now, this is a mental situation for us," Romar said. "Somehow, without experiencing a lot of success, we've got to find some confidence. We've got to regain our swagger as a team.
"It's more the mental approach of going out and taking care of business the way we are supposed to."
Wilcox, UW's leading scorer at 17.7 points per game, is down from near 20 at the start of conference play. Wednesday he missed his first six shots, and for one of the only times this conference season it wasn't because a defender was hawking and face guarding him like a playground bully. Oregon spent much of the first 20 minutes in zone defense, yet Wilcox kept missing open jumpers and on slashes and runners in the lane.
Wilcox, who has been playing last month through the early stages of a possible stress fracture on the outside of his left foot, didn't make his first basket until 1 minute remained in the opening half. Then after Romar called a play during a timeout for him, Wilcox made an open 3-pointer from the corner to pull Washington within 33-27 at halftime.
Considering the Huskies led just once all game, at 15-14, and that Oregon shot 57 percent in the first half, the deficit could have been far worse. In fact, Oregon never led by more than a dozen until the very end.
But Wilcox - all the Huskies, for that matter -- never could find any offensive flow. They never made a true run, staying outside of a half-dozen points over the final 16 minutes.
"I thought for the first time tonight he may have shot the ball without confidence," Romar said of Wilcox.
"I don't know. Every game I just think every shot of his is going to go in."
Wilcox had company. Andrew Andrews was 1 for 8. Scott Suggs was 1 for 6. Simmons was 2 for 5. Shawn Kemp Jr. was 3 for 7.
So it went - off the rim and backboard.
"I don't know. Nothing against the refs or anything, but I think teams can take us out when they are holding our wings," Gaddy said of Wilcox and Suggs. "That's on us, to cut and screen better. ... That definitely takes us out of rhythm.
"Yeah, it's tough. But it's all mental toughness. ... This is a part of life. You are going to hit adversity. It's about mental toughness."
The Huskies host Oregon State Saturday night in yet another 8 p.m. tipoff.
Talk of NCAA tournament hopes or even making a run up to next month's Pac-12 tournament are on hold for these downward Dawgs. Playing the right way for a complete game Saturday is taking immediate precedence.
"We don't have any excuses. We have to be better," Romar said. "Somehow we've got to have the mindset against Oregon State that we are going to succeed.
"We can change this, but we have to get better in the next month. We have to get better."

LAS VEGAS - The UNLV baseball team defeated 14th-ranked Arizona State, 5-4, in 10 innings on Tuesday afternoon in UNLV's home finale at Earl E. Wilson Stadium.
Junior outfielder Jesse Pryor led off the bottom of the 10th inning with an opposite field home run that cleared the right field fence. It was Pryor's seventh home run of the season. UNLV improved to 30-22 overall and Arizona State dropped to 33-21.
UNLV has now won 30 or more games in a season for the 20th time in the last 23 seasons.
The victory snapped a 21-game winning streak that the Sun Devils had over UNLV. The Rebels last defeated ASU, 3-2, on May 6, 1987.
UNLV received a strong pitching performance from Bill Scheffels. The junior right-hander pitched 8 innings, allowed 6 hits, 4 runs (3 earned), walked 2 and struck out 5. It was his best outing of the season. Sophomore right-hander Andy McCulloch recorded his fifth victory of the season. He pitched 2 innings and allowed no runs as he pitched his way out of a bases load jam in the top of the 10th inning.
Arizona State took the lead, 4-2, with two runs in the top of the ninth. First baseman Jeff Phelps knocked in the two runs with a single.
UNLV came right back in the bottom of the ninth. Junior third baseman Kevin Eberwein, who was 3-for-3, hit his 14th home run of the season to cut ASU's lead to 4-3.
Sophomore Ryan Ludwick and freshman catcher Ryan Hamill hit back-to-back triples to tie the score at 4-4 and force extra innings.
Senior right-hander Aaron Kramer pitched 8 strong innings for ASU. He allowed 7 hits, 3 runs, 1 walk and 8 strikeouts. Right-hander Chuck Crumpton (3-7) suffered the loss for ASU.
UNLV will conclude the 1998 regular season with a three-game WAC series this weekend (May 8-10) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, against the Lobos. UNLV is one half game out of the sixth and final spot for the WAC Tournament, which will be played on May 13-16 in San Diego.

Openness is important in maintaining public trust in our governmental organizations.
Openness means access to what public officials do. It can be difficult, especially when it comes to obtaining records created by government.
But openness also means notification, something a bill moving through the state House of Representatives would impede if it became law. The House Education Committee was scheduled to hear testimony today (Feb. 13) on HB 2319, a bill that would make it easier for school districts to publish notices of certain activities.
Currently, school districts must publish notices...

BESSEMER'S TAYLOR Smith, left, takes off after receiving the baton from Art Rundell, right, during the 400-meter relay Saturday at the Division 3 U.P. Finals in Kingsford. The relay team won a U.P. title.
KINGSFORD — The Bessemer Speedboys came home from the Division 3 U.P. Finals with three U.P. titles.
North Dickinson ran away with the team trophy, its 77 points ahead of second-place Pickford by 26 points. Bessemer was just five points off of second-place, finishing fifth with 46 points, one point behind Rapid River and two behind St. Ignace.
Two Bessemer relay teams, the 400 and 800, are U.P. champions. Alex Smith won the long jump with his leap of 20-5.
Taylor Smith, Derek Gheller and Art Rundell were on both champion relay teams. Jess Mazzon joined the 800 team and Alex Smith was on the 400 relay squad, which pulled ahead after the third exchange.
Gheller said they had three goals, at least in the 400.
"Beat the (school) record, (take) first and beat Wakefield," he said. "All three accomplished."
Wakefield-Marenisco ended up third. The relay teams went to the school early Friday morning to work on their handoffs, in large part to help make sure they beat the Cardinals.
Taylor Smith ran the second leg of the 400.
"I looked over, I saw Alex in first and I looked over there, it was 42 seconds," Taylor Smith said. "I just started screaming, 'We got it, we got it!'"
The Speedboys pulled ahead on the last handoff in the 800, but they said they were fast the whole way with perfect handoffs. Mazzon passed multiple runners. The team was .98 second off the school record.
"It was nice for the three seniors of (Taylor) Smith, Rundell and Gheller to end their school year and career with a record and two first-places at the U.P.s.," Bessemer coach Mark Mazzon said. "That was nice. That's how you wish everybody could end the ending of their high school. They really worked hard."
Alex Smith took second in last year's U.P. Finals in the long jump. He holds the Bessemer record in the long jump 20-9.
"First time winning U.P.s, so it's pretty exciting," he said. "I did a lot of training in the summer. I went to the track when no one was there and jumped and did a lot of weight training and got stronger. That really helped me this year."
Coach Mazzon said, "He worked on his approach, his jumping. That was his love and passion."
Bessemer's Zack Mazurek was fifth in the 1,600 run and fourth in the 3,200, which was finished in a torrential downpour.
"I think that rejuvenated him and gave him some energy," Mazzon said of the rain.
The meet was delayed after that by about an hour, first because of thunder in the area, then the strongest storms of the day moved in.
Wakefield-Marenisco totaled eight team points and Ontonagon had one.
Jacob Pikka, who had won the last two U.P. shot put titles in D-3, came in sixth with a put of 45-.5. Pikka had better marks in the last two seasons. Three-event winner Brett Branstrom of Mid-Peninsula was first at 47-11.5. Branstrom, who recently committed to play basketball at Northern Michigan University, also won the discus and high jump.
W-M's 400 relay team took third with team members Pikka, Eric Lane, Aaron Cook and Caleb Winkler.
Ontonagon's Aaron Kaikko picked up the Gladiators' only point. He took sixth in the 400-meter dash in 54.56.
St. Ignace won its fourth straight girls title with 121 points, 64 points better than runner-up Brimley. Ontonagon took ninth place with 21 points; Bessemer was 12th with 15.
Ontonagon's top finisher was hurdler Lori Wardynski. She was second in the 100 hurdles and third in the 300. In the 100 race, she finished just .04 second behind Pickford's Kim Cruickshank.
Valerie Rowe's fourth-place finishes in the 300 hurdles – from the slow heat – and the pole vault were Bessemer's highest finishes of the day. Brenna Bogaczyk placed fifth in the high jump, discus and shot put.
"She has one more year to bring those fifths and fourths a little bit closer to firsts and seconds," Mazzon said. "(Rowe) did well in the hurdles and pole vault."
Wakefield-Marenisco picked up one team point. Bethany Engel finished sixth in the high jump at 4-10, five inches off the winning mark set by Kelsey Shope of Mid-Peninsula.
Chassell's Jamie Dompier swept the dashes and St. Ignace's Sarah Cullip won all three distance races.

It's not that we Americans disagree about the need to upgrade our transportation infrastructure. But while subways and light-rail systems get people around the fastest, they're also the priciest options. Bus transit is a far more cost-effective alternative, but it's slower -- and we've learned that drivers in cities from New York to Nashville will fight to stop any project that encroaches on private vehicles' space.
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), in which buses are given dedicated lanes, is an increasingly popular option. And Mexico City has already found a way to make BRT work like a charm. The results speak for themselves -- from its beginnings of a single line and 80 buses in 2005, the system has grown to a fleet of 367 buses and over 850,000 boardings per day.
This is an illustrative example of making BRT work because Mexico City, as I learned when I visited several weeks ago, contains neighborhoods of almost every imaginable urban prototype. The city's historic center dates back to Spanish colonization, with cobblestoned streets and old buildings reminiscent of Madrid. Slightly farther out from the core are 19th century and early 20th century neighborhoods with wide Parisian boulevards and elegant plazas. And beyond that, huge swaths of the city resemble Los Angeles, with endless low-rise sprawl and traffic-choked highways.
Creating a system to serve all of these types of neighborhoods isn't easy.
I stayed near Avenida de los Insurgentes, home to the city's first and most widely used BRT line. The system, called Metrobus, is primarily successful because of how strictly it guards bus-only lanes. In New York, for example, bus lanes are either the lane farthest or second-farthest to the right. Private vehicles are permitted to enter the bus lanes to make a right turn, slowing down the speed of buses that then must wait for cars to yield to pedestrians. Metrobus's major innovation is to put the bus lane in the leftmost lane of the street, which essentially insulates the bus from any broader traffic problems. It answers only to the traffic lights.
The above photo also shows, in addition to the strategic placement of the bus lane, how it is physically set off from the other lanes on the street. When bus-only lanes exist in New York, for example, they are generally set aside by a painted line, making it easy for cars to cross into the space if they so choose. The Metrobus system solves this problem by making it significantly harder for private vehicles to cross over.
And finally, the Metrobus system features sheltered stations built in the median of the street, allowing passengers to wait for the bus in an enclosed space. To be fair, simply crossing the street to get to the median is often a pretty scary prospect in Mexico City, but once passengers arrive they will find a space that's well-lit, patrolled by transit police, and protected from the elements.
The effect of all this, on the Insurgentes line, is a bus that effectively runs like a train. Riders pay in advance of boarding, wait for the bus in protected spaces, and don't have to worry that their bus will be delayed by traffic. (To get to the city center from my friend's apartment near Coyoacán took me about 35 minutes on Metrobus versus 25 on the city's subway system.)

Funny! A friend of mine ran into Bret Oberg in Seattle a few years ago. Games were all about the botas back then. Good times.
Crazy thing about it is when I moved back to Iowa 5 years ago and got season tickets - they are in Section O. Now where I use to down boatas, I sit with my kids and swear under my breath. I see your Blaise Bryant picture. Nice. Brett Oberg days. That was some bad football.

Oilers @ Red Wings - 3/30

Is that supposed to be a surprise?
Draper still can't finish.
I just turned the game on to see Datsyuk score, so I'm totally cool with that. I'm surprised at how close this game is, they said on the radio that the Wings have dominated the game.
Oops it was Stuart. So I must've not been paying attention or something hahaha.

Detroit did what Mike Babcock said they needed to do. They got out to a strong start and a big early lead. For the first 37 minutes of the game they absolutely dominated the Oilers, taking a 4-0 lead.
Then it all fell apart.
Edmonton scored twice in 56 seconds to halve the lead in the final three minutes of the second, then added another just over three minutes into the third. The Oilers carried the play for the entire third period and it wasn't even a surprise when Tom Gilbert tied things up.
In fact, the biggest surprise for me was that Brad Stuart's game-winning goal with a minute and change left in regulation was allowed to stand. I don't think there was enough evidence to overturn it but it was extremely close and that feels like a call that usually goes against Detroit.
In a game where you give up a four goal lead, there's a lot of blame to go around. The Wings stopped skating, stopped moving the puck, and stopped fighting along the boards. Everything they did to control the game in the first period they stopped doing.
They couldn't clear their own zone. When they did, they couldn't gain the Edmonton zone. When they managed to do that, Jeff Deslauriers made some phenomenal stops.
An example of how bad the Wings were playing was an attempted break-out late in the third. Tomas Holmstrom (I think) carries the puck out along the right wing and crosses it over to the left wing. The only problem? There is absolutely no one there. The puck bounces off the boards and down to the Edmonton crease. That is just a ridiculously sloppy play and was one of many the Wings made.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Howard had his first subpar outing in quite awhile. I feel like the second and third goals fall pretty heavily on him. On Mike Comrie's goal to make it 4-2, it looked like Howard was indecisive and got caught in between moves, leaving his five-hole wide open. On the third Edmonton goal Howard was scrambling and way out of position, having dove head first to his left and being unable to get back to his right to stop Zack Stortini.
In the end, two points are two points but the Wings are gonna have to take a look at how they got them and decide if that's good enough.
Combined with the Kings' win over the Predators, the Red Wings are now one point back of Nashville with two games in hand. Los Angeles is one point back of Detroit while Colorado is four points back with a game in hand. Detroit is seven points back of fourth-place Phoenix and six points back of Central Division-leading Chicago, with the Blackhawks having a game in hand.

This Adorable Pikachu Burger Is About 15 Years Too Late
The Pikachu beef curry looks pretty great, too.
Rock Center's short-lived Pokémon store (2001-2005) sold the odd piece of Pikachu-themed candy — we should know, we were there all the time — but it was nothing like this deluxe Pikachu burger, which is set to be served at a pop-up café in Tokyo that's themed entirely around the little guy. Chez Pikachu is timed to promote the new movie Pokemon the Movie XY, and other offerings include a literally stellar Pikachu beef curry and this less-than-nutritious-looking parfait, which has been retweeted 8,900 times, so it must be doing something right. Our only complaint would be that the Pikachuburger is served with tortilla chips and salsa on the side instead of fries. Let's just hope it's Pika de gallo in that ramekin. [Eataku]

Three former University of Massachusetts men's lacrosse standouts were active during the seventh week of the Major League Lacrosse season as Jim Connolly (2006-07, '09), Kevin Leveille (2000-03) and Will Manny (2010-13) combined to earn four points for the Ohio Machine, Rochester Rattlers and Boston Cannons, respectively. Check out how each did individually below:
Connolly did not record statistics but rotated into the lineup for Ohio's attack as the Machine earned a comeback win over Leveille's Rattlers, 18-13 on Saturday. The appearance marked Connolly's second of the year for Ohio and first since a win at Charlotte on April 26 as the squad is 2-0 with Connolly in the lineup.
Leveille scored one goal as Rochester battled with Ohio in a 18-13 loss to the Machine. Leveille scored career tally No. 272, adding to his league record, to make it 5-2 in favor of Rochester, but a seven goal third quarter for Ohio erased the Rattlers lead and led the Machine to victory.

Manny assisted on three Boston goals, but the Cannons suffered a 16-15 loss on the road at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial to the Chesapeake Bayhawks on Saturday. Manny helped get the offense rolling with an assist on Boston's first goal before he added helpers to tie the game at 7-7 and 13-13; however, Chesapeake scored three of the final four goals to earn the win.

The envelope please . . . here are some of the Theater Awards winners
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 5:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 12:03 p.m.
The StarNews Media Wilmington Theater Awards takes the stage at Thalian Hall on Wednesday, Jan. 9. It's the second straight year in which the StarNews has joined forces with Thalian Hall and area theater companies to honor and celebrate the local theater community.

Before the big show tonight, however, we've got a little business to attend to. Ten awards are being announced today, prior to tonight's ceremony. Not because, as someone quipped last year, these winners aren't important enough to receive their awards during the show, but because, in an attempt to keep the show at a crisp two hours, some sacrifices had to be made.
These winners will receive trophies (a bump up from the certificates they got last year), be acknowledged on stage during the show and have their names printed in the ceremony program.
And so, without further ado, the winners are:
BEST CHILDREN'S THEATER PRODUCTION: "Guys and Dolls," Thalian Association Children's Theatre
BEST ENSEMBLE (musical only): "The Color Purple," City Stage

Karlson Hardwood Floors, LLC Approved Maintenance Instructions
National Wood Flooring Association Installation Instructions
Before installation of Karlson Hardwood Floors, your installation professional should follow the installation guidelines set by the NWFA. These are industry standards and any questions or concerns can be addressed by calling the NWFA at 1-800-422-4556.
Before Installation:
- Prior to installation, any and all concerns regarding the grade or milling of this product should be directed with the manufacturer.
- Both the installer and the home owner are responsible for inspecting all wood flooring prior to and during the installation process.
- It is the responsibility of the installer to protect the home owner from installation of any damaged or questionable product: any damaged or questionable material must be returned to Karlson Hardwood Floors in its original state in order to receive credit for material.
- Any noticeable question in color, sheen or grade of material must be presented to the manufacturer prior to installation.
- All responsibility to resolve any issues regarding product quality or manufacturer defects must be directed to the manufacturer prior to installation or the manufacturer will not be liable for any costs of product or replacement.
- After completion of the installation, the customer is responsible for the care and maintenance of their hardwood floors.
Job Site Conditions:
All Karlson Hardwood Floors should be placed in a climate controlled environment that is well ventilated no less than 72 hours prior to installation or until moisture testing confirms the subfloor and wood flooring is within normal approved moisture content range. NEVER INSTALL WOOD FLOORING ON A WOODEN SUBFLOOR THAT EXCEEDS 12% MOISTURE CONTENT.
- Temperatures should be kept at occupancy levels prior to, during and after installation to ensure a sound installation (between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Product should not be exposed to high humidity or moisture content in any room or building in which hardwood flooring is installed.
- Average sub-floor moisture content should be within 2% (3 ¼" and wider) or 4% (strip 3" or less) of the moisture content of the flooring before installation, but the subfloor should not exceed 10% moisture content to ensure a sound installation and prevent moisture related issues such as cupping.
- It is recommended that heating and cooling systems are installed and running for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to installation the wood flooring.
- It is important that the residential or commercial job site be able to maintain a relative humidity of 35 to 55 percent at all times for the life of the wood floor. To test the relative humidity and ensure the relative humidity requirements are met, contact your heating and cooling service contractor for installation of humidifiers and/or dehumidifiers for your heating and cooling system.
- It is important that the installer and home owner check all crawl space and basement moisture content prior to installation. All homes with a crawl space must maintain 18 inches of clearance and must be covered with a 6 mil plastic with NO OPEN SEEMS and an approved vapor barrier for the subfloor.
Sub-floors, grade and preparations for ¾" solid hardwood flooring:
- Karlson Hardwood Floors can be installed over any APA approved plywood 5/8" or ¾" and ¾" OSB substrate.
- ¾" solid hardwood flooring is not recommended or approved by Karlson Hardwood Floors to be glued down on any concrete substrate; this will void any and all manufacturer warranties.
- Karlson Hardwood Floors are recommended to be installed on or above grade with a sub-floor vapor retardant/moisture barrier placed on top of sub-floor prior to installation (15 lb. asphalt felt or rosin paper is an acceptable moisture barrier).
- After moisture barrier has been placed on sub-floor and overlapped 2 to 4 inches, the flooring strips or planks should be positioned at right angles to the floor joists.
- A 2" barbed flooring cleat should be used for installation of the solid wood flooring to the sub-floor. Recommended spacing between nails should be 6" to 8" apart, with a minimum of 2 nails per 12" board.
- All end joints should be staggered at least 6" apart with a nail within 2" of the end joint of each board.
- An expansion gap of ¾" is should be left around all walls.
After Installation Maintenance and Care Instructions
Maintenance Instructions:
- Karlson Hardwood Floors are easily cared for with routine maintenance. Simply vacuum and/or use a dust mop often to keep grit and any abrasive debris off the floor. Hardwood floors can be maintained with a terry cloth cover on the bottom of a DRY MOP.
- Always wipe up any spills as they occur and use a spray solution of hardwood floor cleaner for maintenance (available at your hardwood flooring dealer).
- DO NOT USE a wax or oiled based soap cleaners!!!
High Heels and Pets:
All species of wood floors can be severely damaged by high heel shoes or boots. To best protect against damage to your wood floor associated with high heels, follow the following guidelines:
- Remove high heel shoes/boots upon entering your home.
- High traffic areas of your home can be covered with area rugs to prevent damage caused by gritty debris and stiletto shoes and boots.
Pets are like our children and more often than not, they are in our homes more than they are outside. To protect your wood floor from damage caused by pets, follow these guidelines:
- Make sure you regularly clip your pet's nails; if they can be heard taping on the floor, they need to be clipped.
- Pet urine and vomit are very acidic and can be very damaging to the finish of your hardwood floor. It is very important that you clean up any accidents your pet may have as soon as possible.
- If you keep your pets water and food bowls on the wood floor, make sure that the bottoms of the bowls have protective covers to prevent damage to the wood floor and ALL water bowls should be kept on protective water proof risers or mats designed for wood floors.
For more information please refer to the NWFA Instruction Manual or contact the NWFA at 1-800-422-4556.

The Blue Jackets, on the other hand, are already changing things up. What they're changing is double-secret, as Ken Hitchcock won't confirm anything. Supposedly Derek Dorsett is being inserted into the lineup. We'll see.
The Freep (via Malik) had this blurb on the über-secret Columbus lineup...
The Blue Jackets put a towel over the lineup they posted on the wall in their locker room at Joe Louis Arena.
Yeah, they're focused on the important stuff alright. Of course, this is a team coached by a guy who'd rather complain about the Wings cheating on faceoffs than figure out why his team only had two shots in the third period Thursday.

Dong Xiaohai, an astronaut in the first Chinese training group of 1971-1972, was later Commander of the 18th Air Force Training Division. Joined the PLA in 1950 and subsequently trained as a pilot. On April 3, 1965, Dong had distinguished himself by shooting down an American AQM-34 unpiloted reconnaissance drone over Guangxi. This success was accomplished by changing the intercept geometry from that used before. The intercept distance was reduced from 120 to 70 km, and the altitude of intercept was accordingly increased from 13.5 km to 14.5 km. In attempting to zoom to high altitude to shoot down the drone Dong twice stalled and flamed out. On the third attempt he successfully shot down the enemy aircraft at an altitude of 18.1 km. His squadron downed two more drones and was awarded the title 'Air Force Hero Squadron' on 3 May 1965.

Results and Finals' Parings
The Crimson Tide advance to the NCAA Championships match for the second straight season and will face fifth-seeded Illinois at 7 a.m. (CDT). The final was moved up two hours due to the threat of inclement weather later in the day.
The Illini upset top-ranked California 3-2 on Saturday to advance to its first NCAA Finals. Illinois' Thomas Peiters posted a 1-up win in extra holes to give the Fighting Illini the victory. California was the No. 1 seed and had won 11-of-13 events entering the NCAA Championships.
"I'm pretty overwhelmed," Alabama head coach Jay Seawell said following the match. "It has been 365 days of answering questions and thinking about last year (loss to Texas in the finals) and to do it again, it's really hard to do. I'm really proud of our guys. Georgia Tech is a great team and they fought their tails off. It was a match that was never secure, you could feel that the last hole was going to be tough to get. I'm very thankful and excited for the opportunity tomorrow."
Junior Trey Mullinax rallied to put the Crimson Tide's first point on the board Saturday with a 4 and 3 win over Georgia Tech's Shun Yat Hak. Mullinax was 2 down coming to the eighth tee box and preceded to win six of the next seven holes to close Yat Hak out with par on the 15th.
Junior Cory Whitsett followed by closing out his match with Tech's Ollie Schniederjans out on the 16th hole, 3 and 2. It was the second win in as many days for Whitsett, who has an astounding 11 birdies and no bogeys in 30 holes of match play over the first two rounds.
Justin Thomas clinched the match with a par on the 17th for a 3 and 1 win over the Yellow Jackets' Seth Reeves. He is also 2-0 in match play this week and will face Illinois' Pieters in the third match of the finals on Sunday.
Junior Bobby Wyatt was all square with Anders Albertson in the first match of the day in extra holes when Thomas finished off the win. Senior Scott Strohmeyer was all square with Bo Andrews on the green at 18.
Sunday's NCAA Championship match begins with Wyatt facing Illinois Thomas Detry. Mullinax will follow off No. 1 at 7:10 a.m. and face Charlie Danielson. After Thomas and Pieters tee off at 7:20 a.m., Strohmeyer will face Brian Campbell at 7: 30 a.m. with Whitsett opposing Alex Burge in the final match at 7:40 a.m.
"Tomorrow we start at zero," Seawell said. "That's kind of our motto is every day, you start over. We will play a great Illinois team and I found that out when we played with them in stroke play, that Mike Small (Illinois' coach) is one of, if not, the best golf coach in the country."
The Crimson Tide's talent and experience were not lost on Georgia Tech coach Bruce Heppler who put his team's loss in perspective.
"They're (Alabama) awesome," Heppler said. "Those three guys up at the front (Whitsett, Thomas, Wyatt) may be three of the best eight or nine players in the country. They all may be on the Walker Cup team. Those are three big-time guys, Trey (Mullinax) played very well today, and Scott (Strohmeyer) has been around a long time. That's a really good team."
NCAA.com will webcast the final match beginning at 10:15 a.m. (CDT).
"Tomorrow is a new day," Mullinax said. "So it doesn't matter what we did today or yesterday, we have to play tomorrow. That's all we are worried about. We're going to go out and have a good mindset. It's a good problem to have to go back two years in a row. Unfortunately last year we came up short last year but we have a job tomorrow to do."

The American Civil Liberties Union released a report that found six states not only reduced their incarceration rates by focusing on parole or probation instead of prison time, but cut costs without increasing crime rates.
Michael Jacobson, director of the Vera Institute of Justice, is quoted in the article: "There's a sense now that you're just not getting a good return on your investment from dumping $70 billion a year into prisons," he said. The ACLU report highlights Texas, Mississippi, Kansas, South Carolina, Kentucky and Ohio "as traditionally 'tough-on-crime' states that benefited from reducing incarceration rates."

The Hunan Palace Restaurant seems like a convenient getaway for a quick bite of lunch. It is located in the city's busy business area, which could make it a popular alternative to those poor-quality office deli options that is so often provided to the white-collar public.
However, upon entering the place, one quickly starts wondering if they made the right decision as the spacious dining room looks more like an Eastern European hospital lobby or a school cafeteria rather than an actual restaurant. The owners obviously did not wish to invest a dime in interior design and one could only hope that it is because of their confidence that the quality of their food and service would make up for the lack of ambiance.
At this stage, there is still hope for a satisfying lunch experience. After all, good service in the hospitality business means so much more than alluring decorations. Besides the quality of food, professionalism of the staff as well as cleanliness and hygiene are equally important in order to deliver the service that brings contentment to the hungry public.
This is not only true of top-of-the-line restaurants. To have a pleasant experience and to feel that it was worth spending the money, quality in all aforementioned areas is a prerequisite whether it is a small family-run eatery or a huge chain restaurant.
With this gold standard set and the interior examined, the focus is now on the staff. They greet their guests with humble bows typical of Asian culture as they hand them the menus. Their menu lists an array of typical but mediocre Chinese dishes on a simple, fast-food-style laminated sheet of paper. So far so good, at least it is not one of those restaurants where the menus are sticky with month-old food and dirt from the hands of hundreds of other visitors - like in many similar eateries.
The first problem emerges at the time of ordering. If one's choice is out of the ordinary, they have trouble remembering what was requested. At a simple lunch for two, the server makes several mistakes while taking the order. Although food is served relatively quickly, the quality is disappointing. The Hot and Sour Soup is not hot enough and has a glue-like texture.
An experienced restaurant-goer can easily judge by the taste that the soup is at least three days old – a typical case when a chef overestimates consumption and cooks too much in advance. The second course likewise: forgettable Hunan Chicken with stale, soaked noodles and cheap-quality meat. If the customer has not lost their appetite yet, the appearance of a kitchen staff member (who is ordered to refill the not-so-clean plastic cups) will not help, either.
At the end of this adventure asking for the check can be quite a challenge in spite of the fact that there are only a few other guests in the dining room besides the bored crew. It takes quite a few attempts to catch the server's attention and leave the place. This lunch will not leave a pleasant after-taste in the traveler's mouth.
The restaurant is located in the Shady Grove Shopping Center at the intersection of Shady Grove Road and Gaither Road.

Continuing my series of planned yet random forays into the unexplored reaches of the London A-Z.....
With the whole of London at my disposal, I had assumed that I would be exploring unfamiliar territory. But things rarely turn out as you think they will and my chosen chance strategy had other plans for me. I was despatched off to spend the day travelling on the buses in north-east London, parts of which I know fairly well, though I suppose as good a place as any to spend a rain-soaked day.
I had not had the pleasure of journeying on a London bus for quite some time so was surprised to see that each stop is now displayed on an illuminated board accompanied by the refined tones of a female announcer....just as well, as the view out of the window was obscured for the most part by a film of condensation and raindrops, creating that special atmosphere of sheltered intimacy that you only get on the top deck of a bus but preventing you from seeing where you actually are.
Looking through the bus window seems to have set the tone for the day, my experience of London filtered by a succession of windows or screens of one sort or another, shaping my vision just as the camera frames what the eye sees through the viewfinder.
Through my camera viewfinder I observe the daily and seasonal nuances which alter our domestic, rural and urban spaces. I usually prefer to take my inspiration from life as it unfolds, seeking to frame the mundane stuff of daily life in unexpected ways and creating fresh perspectives on the everyday. I have a particular interest in photographing the urban landscape, incorporating chance elements and exploring the nature of serendipity, coincidence and connections.The images are then combined into sequences in book form to emphasise the underlying relationships between the apparently random and haphazard, celebrating the accidental and the spontaneous.

Here are some of my observations, notes, stats and opinions from Tennessee football spring practice #14 (Saturday, April 12, 2014) which was the Dish Orange and White game at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville.
Normally, there would be a 15th practice but Friday's practice was cancelled by Butch Jones.
The announced crowd of 68,548 was the second largest in UT football history.
Practice 14 (Last)
Stats Leaders:
Justin Worley - 11 of 13, 151 yds 1 TD, 0 INT, 0 sacks, 55 rush yds
Riley Ferguson – 7 of 12, 83 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT, 3 sacks, -7 rush yds, 1 lost fumble
Nathan Peterman – 8 of 11, 81 yds, 1 TD, 0 INT, 1 sack, -1 rush yds
Joshua Dobbs – 6 of 9, 199 yds, 3 TDs, 0 INT, 0 sacks, 59 rush yds, 1 rush TD
Total – 32 of 45, 514 yds, 6 TDs, 1 INT, 4 sacks, 106 rush yds, 1 rush TD, `1 lost fumble
Jalen Hurd – 11 carries, 66 yds, 1 TD
Josh Malone – 6 catches, 181 yds, 3 TDs
Matt Darr – 5 for 46.6 avg.
Field Goals
George Bullock – 1 for 1 from 41 yds
Riyahd Jones – 8
Justin King - 1 ½
Tackles For Loss
Justin King - 2 ½
Malik Foreman – 1
Fumble Recoveries
Danny O'Brien – 1
Here are the drives in the spring game for the quarterbacks and which units were on the field, for perspective, first team or second team.
1.Worley (1st team offense vs. 1st team defense) - FG
2.Peterman except Ferguson for first play (2nd offense vs. 2nd defense) TD
3.Ferguson (1st offense vs. 1st defense)
4.Dobbs (1st offense vs.2nd defense) TD
5.Ferguson (1st offense vs. 1st defense)
6.Dobbs (1st offense vs. 2nd defense) TD
7.Worley (1st offense vs. 1st defense)
8.Peterman (1st offense vs. 1st defense) TD
9.Ferguson (2nd offense vs. 2nd defense) Fumble
10.Dobbs (1st offense vs. 2nd defense) TD
11.Worley (1st offense vs. 1st defense) TD
12.Ferguson (2nd offense vs. 2nd defense)
13.Worley (1st offense vs. 1st defense) TD
14.Peterman (2nd offense vs. 2nd defense)
15.Ferguson (1st offense vs. 2nd defense) TD
16.Dobbs (2nd offense vs. 2nd defense)
17.Worley (2nd offense vs. 2nd defense)
18.Peterman (1st offense vs. 1st defense)
19.Ferguson (2nd offense vs. 2nd defense) INT
20.Dobbs (2nd offense vs. 2nd defense)
Let's breakdown the quarterback comparison even more to see who they were working with and against.
Worley (5 drives)
Offense - 4 of 5 with 1st team offense
Defense – 4 of 5 vs. 1st team defense
2 TDs & 1 FG
Peterman (4 drives)
Offense: 2 with each 1st & 2nd team
Defense: 2 each vs. 1st & 2nd team
2 TDs
Ferguson (6 drives)
Offense: 3 with each 1st & 2nd team
Defense: 2 vs. 1st team & 4 vs. 2nd team
1 TD, 1 INT & 1 fumble
Dobbs (5 drives)
Offense: 3 with 1s & 2 with 2nd team
Defense: All 5 vs. 2nd team
4 TDs
What does this mean? It means this quarterback race is even tighter with Ferguson falling back and Dobbs rising up.
Yes, Dobbs did all his work versus the 2nd team defense, but he hasn't done that consistently in scrimmages before today. It is absolutely encouraging for Dobbs. He also played well with the first team offense. Getting the ball accurately to his playmakers and managing the offense was impressive for Dobbs.
For Ferguson, he only faced the first team defense twice. His two turnovers came against the second team defense. He has great arm strength and potential, but he has turned the ball over more than anyone else with those "catastrophic" plays that Butch Jones harps on so much.
I'd put Justin Worley as the leader to be the starting quarterback right now. With the impressive skill position talent, a quarterback that can just not screw things up may be of higher priority than someone to make plays from that position. That's the balance and the dilemma Butch Jones has to work around with all these quarterbacks.
Overall, the offense was improved with explosive plays and the defense, especially the tackling was bad. Yes, AJ Johnson did not play much and 2 potential starters (S – Brian Randolph & DT – Trevarris Saulsberry) were out for the spring, but it is still a huge concern. 14 of the 18 summer enrolls will be on defense. They'll need a lot of them to contribute and some to be impact players in their freshmen seasons.

Camberwell tower block 'a blast furnace' during fatal fire, inquest told
18:02 07 February 2013
A firefighter who helped tackle the Camberwell tower block blaze which killed six people has described the conditions he faced when he comforted a family which had fled out on to their balcony.
Conditions in the cage of the platform were like a "blast furnace", crew manager Danniel Sharpe told the super inquest into the deaths today.
The fatal blaze broke out at Lakanal House on July 3 2009.
Mr Sharpe told jurors at Lambeth Town Hall that he told another firefighter to direct a jet of water at a fire on the west side of the building.
"I remember debris coming down and igniting," he said.
"Then I remember a large noise coming from the eastern side - shouts were going up that people might jump.
"We went round there and noticed a gentleman standing precariously on a balcony with what looked like knotted sheets."
Mr Sharpe was lifted up in the cage with another fire officer to reassure the family on the balcony that help was on the way. They stayed there until they were rescued.
Asked what conditions were like on the platform, he said: "There were high winds, pushing it all over the place. One second it was clear, the next it was thick black smoke, a lot of heat was coming from the 11th floor, it was like a blast furnace up there."
Asked how he felt when he came down after an hour on the platform, he said: "Exhausted, basically."
Dayana Francisquini, 26, and her children, six-year-old Thais, and Felipe, three, were killed in the fire.
Helen Udoaka, 34, her three-week-old daughter Michelle and 31-year-old Catherine Hickman also lost their lives. They all lived on the 11th floor.
The hearing was adjourned until 10am tomorrow.

|Toplink Discussion 1
I am working on a project where a Java servlet front-end handling UI interactions will work with a back-end engine (the one that implements the "business logic") which in turn will use an underlying, transaction-capable data store, probably an Oracle database. The engine will abstract the functionality to the point where the client servlet won't, and must not, know that Oracle is underneath. As such, it will actually wrap tables into specialized objects that load information from Oracle using SQL queries, and store information back into Oracle the same way. Has anybody grappled with the intricacies of such a three-tier architecture? The implications for transaction control and cache coherency are interesting and potentially huge. In effect, our engine becomes a database in itself, as has been pointed out by an OODBMS developer that we have spoken with -- and much of the logic we will need to implement ends up mimicking or reinventing the functionality of generic O/R mappings such as Castor. I realize that this sounds vague, but anyone who has bumped into the problem before should recognize the design issues, hopefully :-) In researching the subject, we have looked at OODBMS products like Versant, ObjectStore and Ozone. Of these, Ozone was the most convenient since its transaction model interfered minimally with the application code, whereas Versant and ObjectStore both require explicit transaction semantics in the code (resulting in, imho, a clutter of try-except-finally blocks and needless database code). Unfortunatelly, Ozone does not seem mature, and it is based on RMI, which in our opinion would result in excessive calls and object references across process boundaries. We have also looked at Castor, the open-source O/R mapping framework, but Castor does not work well in load-balanced clusters, because Castor instances cannot communicate with other instances -- this becomes a problem with record locking. In short, we should *like* to use an O/R mapping or OODBMS, but so far the products evaluated have not matched our expectations.

Film about near-death experience has San Diego tie
EL CAJON, Calif. - A movie about a child and his near-death experience is becoming widely popular across the world.
The movie is based on a true story of a child who says he has been to heaven. It was adapted from the novel, "Heaven is For Real," which was written by San Diego-area author Lynn Vincent.
"All people, of all faiths or none, want to know what happens when we die and I think that's the reason for the popularity of the book," said Vincent.
In the movie and book, 3-year-old Colton Burpo, from Imperial, Nebraska knows about events that have happened before he was born.
In a clip from the movie, Colton's mother says, "Honey, who told you I had a baby die in my tummy?"
Colton replies, "When I was in Heaven, this little girl came up to me and she told me she died in your tummy."
Vincent says that at first, the family was hesitant about sharing their story in a novel.
But after a few years, they were convinced by a pastor, who then contacted the publisher.
"These are salt-of-the-earth people, to hear their story and to spend time with them was really affirming," said Vincent.
She says it is an inspiring story that she hopes will impact others like it does her.
"It's helped me look at life, not as this life and the next life, but just one long life with a little doorway in between," Vincent said.
The DVD released last week is No. 1 in DVD sales and movie rentals. The book has also returned to the No. 1 spot on the "New York Times" bestsellers list.
Vincent says she sold movie rights to the book and does not get any of the $91 million revenue brought in by the income.

Think you are ready to adopt a new pet? It's easy to fall in love but please don't adopt on a whim!
Raising a pet is a lifetime commitment that takes a considerable amount of time and money. In fact, many of the animals we see at the shelter are there by no fault of their own, but because of changes at the pet's former home such as divorce, downsizing or because the family didn't realize the expense and energy that went into raising a pet.
Available PetsPlease take the time to look at Our Available Animals and do some research on what type of pet will be best for you before filling out our Adoption Application.Adoption RequirementsIt is the goal of the SJBHS to find a good match for all of our adoptable animals. In that effort, we screen every home before we approve an adoption. In general, SJBHS uses the following guidelines when determining the status of an applicant for adoption, with the understanding that if there is a questionable application, the Executive Director will make the final decision on adoption and may choose to approve applications that fall outside of these general guidelines.In general, SJBHS does NOT adopt to:

I recently upgraded my laptop to natty, everything went fine and I have been using it for a few days now. However today the pointer seems to have developed a mind of its own. When I try to move it it jumps about the screen and selects things, and even when I'm not touching it it moves slowly to the left sometimes.
But the weird thing is it does not do this all the time, it seems to be doing it on and off, I just managed to use it for half an hour there before it started misbehaving again. I've re-started the machine, doesn't fix it. Also the problem is not with the mouse and/or track pad because I've plugged in various devices to test it and it does the same thing with a mouse, trackball and the fingerpad on the laptop.
Also if there is a thread somewhere out there that deals with this problem, just post me the link and a summary of the steps to follow. I looked and couldn't find anything on this specific problem but there must be something out there somewhere.
