Pendleton and Foster Chosen For International Competition
May 15, 2013
LOS ANGELES - Two competitors associated with the University of Wyoming wrestling program will be part of an event this weekend featuring the U.S. team battling world wrestling power Iran.
University of Wyoming assistant wrestling coach Chris Pendleton and volunteer assistant wrestling coach Clayton Foster each will be part of Team USA in the "United 4 Wrestling" event Sunday in Los Angeles. The friendly international wrestling dual competition between the U.S. team and Iran at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena begins at 3 p.m. MT. The goal of the event is to sustain momentum for the "Keep Olympic Wrestling" movement and the "2020 Vision: Wrestling, Keep the Dream Alive" campaign. In February 2013, the International Olympic Committee Executive Board made a recommendation that wrestling be eliminated from the slate of core sports at the 2020 Olympic Games. A final decision on the program of the 2020 Olympics will be made by the entire IOC in September. The action spurred a worldwide effort spearheaded by FILA and the 177 nations which participate in wrestling to retain wrestling as an Olympic sport.
The dual meet will feature current international freestyle wrestling rules. The event will be a showcase competition as part of World Wrestling Month, declared by the international wrestling federation, FILA.
Pendleton faces Hamed Tatari at 96 kilograms (211.5 pounds). A two-time national champion at Oklahoma State, Pendleton has wrestled in various freestyle events over the past years, while Tatari was fifth at the 2013 World Cup.
Foster was an NCAA finalist at Oklahoma State. He is the wrestler in the 84-kilogram (185 pound) spot, and will battle Ehsan Lashgari, a 2012 Olympic bronze medalist and three-time Asian Championships title winner.
In recent action, both Pendleton and Foster claimed runner-up honors in the U.S. Open senior freestyle event on April 20 in Las Vegas. Their performances earned them berths to the U.S. World Team Trials in June, which serves as a qualifier for the World Championships. The World Team Trials are similar to the Olympic Trials in a non-Olympic year.
"United 4 Wrestling" is hosted by USA Wrestling and Beat the Streets-Los Angeles, Inc. with cooperation with California USA Wrestling. Tickets are on sale at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena box office, all Ticketmaster outlets, online by clicking here, and by charge by phone at 1-800-745-3000.

Unfortunately for Iraqi's and so many others including of course, we Americans, Iraq is basically more of a mess today than ever.All the money, lives, combat missions and planning, and Iraq is more than a dysfunctional failed state. After becoming one of two of America's longest wars, it almost seems like it all came to nothing after ten freaking years of involvement. I say this all with the exception of northern Iraq, otherwise known as the home of the Kurdish people. We can look to them as almost the one hope of salvation in this war-torn part of the world. Now that the group known as ISIS or whatever they are known as today (they go through name changes frequently it seems), is fighting and killing anyone who gets in their way in seeking a takeover of Iraq and parts of Syria: we really have no choice but to get involved-again.
The problem with Iraq is, since being under a dictator for so long, they either forgot or never learned how to unify a nation where various factions just don't get along. They can't even defend themselves which is why we're back in a fighting mode.Again, if nothing else, we need to fight and assist the Kurds who are up to the fight of defeating ISIS. This maniacal group of bottom-feeding maggots has now proven themselves to be savage enough to warrant not just a battle to push them back, but a multi-level commitment to vaporizing these killers. I would hope we are just out to kill the killers, and not waste our time taking prisoners, unless it's for the purpose of finding out logistical or other relevant information. There's absolutely no point in trying to rehabilitate such dreadful excuses for human life.
We can argue about the mistake of invading Iraq, or not keeping some level of American troops there once we decided our work was done, but the point is-ISIS formed, is bent on killing whoever gets in their way, including planned attacks on America, and so now they must be destroyed. The United States had better plan for putting boots on the ground, as well as seeking more help by our European allies, and the regional neighbors who are also in the cross-hairs of ISIS. Needless to say, we will have to work with Iraq so that they can at least try and form a viable government, otherwise they need to seek a three way division of their country so some sort of peace can be observed, and people can actually attempt to make a life for themselves.Despite what we see daily on TV and elsewhere, I think it's safe to say, most Iraqi's, Syrians, and others in war-torn areas of the world, just want to live in peace, raise a family and have a chance to earn a decent living. What a simple concept so totally disrupted by a bizarre and seemingly never ending need to exert power and influence.Maybe it was best articulated by that late seeker of peace, Rodney King who asked plaintively: "can't we all just get along"?
One thing seems obvious and that is an air campaign alone ( even with help on the ground by the Kurdish army) may not be enough to destroy ISIS. We cannot worry about entering Syrian territory either. We must rout these terrorists from the hole they came from, and kill as many as possible. I understand President Obama's desire to back away from war, since he took over a country more than tired of fighting not one-but two. Our military is tired as well, and veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan are committing suicide at alarming rates. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has taken its toll as well. Now, we know it doesn't matter what happened before. We must plan and coordinate a joint effort to take ISIS out of the picture. The trouble with fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq is that, unlike Europe, and WWII, we didn't really have to continue fighting in that post war region because of past tribal disputes. We stayed in Europe, and are still there-not to fight so much as help keep the peace from others, and even though the Soviet Union is gone, Vlady Putin keeps making noise like he wants a fight somewhere. Remaining in Iraq almost seems like we would be in the thick of sectarian violence forever. It's seeking peace in a place which now seems destined for constant war that poses a problem for the U.S. when considering a permanent (military) base in or around Baghdad.
The final irony in defeating ISIS is also the obvious prospect of fighting along side President Assad of Syria: another vile dictator we were hoping to help destroy. The old adage of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" comes to mind. Whatever the alliance, we must focus on the fact that ISIS needs to be destroyed, and the sooner the better. We made an obvious mistake of removing ourselves from the tinderbox of hate and constant war, and then there's the oil. The oil deposits in Iraq are simply too much to ignore. If it wasn't for that prized commodity, we may have had other options, but it's a fact we've been dealing with for much of the past century. Some day hopefully, we can remove ourselves from fighting in foreign lands, but it's a distant dream. The reality is, as the world's premier superpower, we have no choice but to defeat terrorism as much as possible, to guard oil reserves, and to at least try and give people another chance at life if death is the only constant in their lives.It's a tall order, and a grim reality.

What is in this article?:
- Soil Fertility Management Issues Following Drought-Damaged Crops – Nitrogen
- Residual soil nitrate
- Fall guidelines
Residual soil nitrate
If the corn plant vegetation and/or grain yield was drastically affected by drought conditions, then N uptake would have been reduced and unused nitrate-N could be accounted for in determining the N fertilization rate for the 2013 corn crop. There are two methods to estimate carryover N. The direct method is to sample the soil profile (a minimum of 2 ft.) after harvest and measure the nitrate-N concentration. Sampling would be by 1-ft. increments. If dry conditions persist, most applied N should remain in the top 2 ft. Sampling to 3 ft. would be preferable, especially where rainfall was enough to move nitrate deeper in the profile. To add up nitrate-N in the sampled profile, multiply the concentration in each foot by four to get the nitrate-N amount per foot and then add the amounts together. One would not want to account for all of the nitrate-N as a subtraction from the next crop N recommendation as there is always some nitrate in the profile at the end of the season. A suggestion from research conducted in Wisconsin (which should be appropriate for Iowa) is to only account for nitrate-N greater than 40 lbs. nitrate-N (2-ft. depth) or 50 lbs. nitrate-N/acre (3-ft. depth), with the remaining amount then subtracted from the normal rate recommendation. A second method to estimate carryover nitrate-N is to use the 2012 corn grain yield. Take the total N applied for the 2012 corn crop and subtract the 2012 grain yield in bushels per acre. Then assume 50% of that amount will remain available to the 2013 crop if precipitation is normal or below normal for the fall/winter/early spring. The remaining nitrate-N amount will vary depending on the actual rainfall and potential losses from fall through spring. For example, if the total N application for the 2012 crop was 190 lbs. N/acre and the 2012 corn yield was 50 bu./acre, then the unused N would be 190 - 50 = 140 lbs. N/acre. The 140 lbs. N/acre times 50% leaves 70 lbs. N/acre to subtract from the 2013 rate recommendation.
As a conservative approach, and due to uncertainty with either estimation method, a minimum rate recommendation of 50 lbs. N/acre should be considered. If fall/spring precipitation is well above normal, then the carryover nitrate would not be likely, especially in soils with high leaching potential. Sandy soils are not likely to retain carryover nitrate.
Spring soil profile sampling for nitrate-N is an option, especially with concerns about residual nitrate remaining after the fall/winter. In addition, such sampling could allow for a spring preplant or sidedress N application based on spring profile nitrate-N results, and instead of a fall application. Use of the late spring soil nitrate test (LSNT) to determine carryover nitrate may miss considerable nitrate deeper than in just the top foot. Therefore, it would be better to sample the deeper profile before planting.
There could be considerable variation in nitrate levels across fields, due to yield level, banded N application, and soil/topography. Therefore, many cores (at least 12) should be collected per sample, and multiple samples per field from representative areas. Since the cores are by 1-ft. depths, mixing in the field will be needed to obtain a representative sample for each depth. Keep the soil from each depth as a separate sample to send to the lab.

U.S. Supreme Court
Glona v. American Guar. & Liab. Ins. Co., 391 U.S. 73 (1968)
Glona v. American Guarantee & Liability Insurance Co.
No. 639
Argued March 27-28, 1968
Decided May 20, 1968
In this diversity action, petitioner seeks damages for the alleged wrongful death in Louisiana of her illegitimate son. The trial court granted respondents' motion for summary judgment on the ground that, under Louisiana law, a mother had no right of action for the death of her illegitimate son. The Court of Appeals affirmed.
Held: The Louisiana wrongful death statute, as construed to bar recovery for damages to the parent of an illegitimate child while allowing such recovery to the parent of a legitimate child, violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, there being no rational basis for the distinction. Levy v. Louisiana, ante, p. 391 U. S. 68. Pp. 391 U. S. 74-76.
379 F.2d 545, reversed.

Spotty showers are likely through midday across Central Indiana as temps reach the mid 40s today. Wind gusts out of the southwest up to 30mph are possible, so get ready for a breezy day too.
Overnight we'll see partly cloudy skies with temps in the mid 30s. Winds will continue to gust out of the southwest up to 25mph, so it will feel very cold early Wednesday morning when you head out the door.
For the most part, Wednesday looks dry as temps top out in the 50s. Late Wednesday night into Thursday more rain moves into the state.
Temps cool down as we start the weekend, but look to rebound very quickly as we head into next week.

$$\sin^2x-5\sin x-6=\frac{(2\sin x)^2-2\cdot2\sin x\cdot5+5^2-24-25}4=\frac{(2\sin x-5)^2-49}4$$
Now, for real $\displaystyle x,-1\le\sin x\le1\iff -2\le\sin x\le2\iff-7\le2\sin x-5\le-3$
$\displaystyle2\sin x-5\le-3\implies(2\sin x-5)^2\ge9$
$\displaystyle2\sin x-5\ge-7\implies(2\sin x-5)^2\le49$
Can you take it home from here?
Hint: if $\sin(x) = t$, this is $t^2 - 5 t - 6$, where $-1 \le t \le 1$. What are the maximum and minimum values of $t^2 - 5 t - 6$ on this interval?

College Hockey:Raymond, Sharp lead Bulldogs to Sweep
DULUTH, Minn. — Looking for their first home sweep over the Michigan Tech Huskies (8-11-2 overall, 5-8-2 WCHA) in three years, the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs (6-13-3 overall, 3-10-2 WCHA) found out first-hand how difficult a task it would be, needing three third-period goals to skate away with a 5-3 win on Saturday night.
"I thought our guys showed a lot character in the last 20 minutes," said Bulldog head coach Scott Sandelin. "It's been a long time since we've had a comeback win as well."
Sophomore forward Mason Raymond showed amazing patience while deking out Huskies netminder Rob Nolan from just to Nolan's right, and netted what would stand as the winning goal at the 12:10 mark of the third period. Senior forward Bryan McGregor and co-captain Matt McKnight both assisted on the goal.
"It helps to have the rest of the team playing as well as they are," said Raymond. "They made my job a lot easier."
Sophomore center MacGregor Sharp got the Bulldogs off to a quick start with a tally just 1:06 in. His seventh of the campaign was set up by a great effort from Raymond, who hit Sharp cutting to the net. Sophomore forward Nick Kemp also assisted on the goal.
The Huskies answered at the 7:33 mark when freshman defenseman Drew Dobson netted his first collegiate goal. Junior center Peter Rouleau fed Dobson at the point, and Dobson blasted a long shot past Bulldog netminder Alex Stalock. Freshman forward Phil Axtell picked up an assist on the goal.
With freshman defenseman Eli Vlaisavljevich and co-captain Mike Batovanja both off the ice, the Bulldogs regained their one-goal lead on the ensuing five-on-three power play. McKnight notched his third of the season with a blast from the high slot through traffic and past Nolan. Sophomore defenseman Matt Niskanen and Raymond both assisted on the goal.
Rouleau helped even the game again for the Huskies when he skated in all the way to Stalock before feeding the puck back to a waiting Geoff Kinrade, and the sophomore defenseman buried into a yawning net at 17:02. Junior forward Tyler Shelast also assisted on the play.
"(Geoff) Kinrade jumped in, and I could hear him screaming from the blue line," said Rouleau. "I saw him at the last second."
The Huskies had trouble keeping up their torrid first period pressure, as the Bulldogs kept the Huskies from getting their first shot until the 7:54 mark. During that time, Nolan was tested often.
"I thought we played very well through the first two periods," said Huskies head coach Jamie Russell. "We have to continue to make plays instead of trying to hang on for 20 minutes."
Batovanja, making up for his penalty in the first period, gave the Huskies their only lead of the game at the 16:45 mark of the second period. Rouleau cut to the net with the puck and found Batovanja for the one-timer. Co-captain Lars Helminen also assisted on the goal.
"It felt good to finally get the monkey off my back," said Batovanja. "We need to play a full game though."
Sharp's second of the night pulled the Bulldogs even in the third period just three minutes in. Gergen made a great individual play by carrying the puck back out to the point before ripping a shot that Nolan initially stopped, only to have Sharp bury the loose puck as Nolan was sprawled out. Kemp assisted on the goal as well.
Trailing by a goal late, Russell pulled Nolan with 1:34 remaining, but the Huskies couldn't sustain any pressure in the Bulldog zone.
Sophomore forward Matt Greer iced the game for the Bulldogs with an empty net goal with :21 seconds left in the game. Sophomore defenseman Josh Meyers and Stalock both assisted on the goal.
"That's a big win for us," said Raymond. "It's hard to put it into words right now."
The Bulldogs finished one-for-three on the power play while holding the Huskies to zero-for-six.
Stalock made 22 saves en route to his fifth career victory. Nolan stopped 24 in the loss for the Huskies.

When the Backstreet Boys recorded "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" in 1997, it's a safe bet they never dreamed they'd be opening a concert with it in 2010. But that's exactly what they did on Saturday evening at the Gibson Amphitheatre in front of a packed audience.
Granted, the boys--men--aren't performing to sold-out stadiums full of hysterical preteens any more, but that doesn't mean they don't have a solid fan base of loyal fans, many who have been fans of the group since the beginning. Which explains why members AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, Nick Carter and Howie Dorough make sure to include a lot of their older hits into their performances. In between plugging songs from their latest album--This is Us, released in October 2009--the group worked in "Quit Playin' Games with My Heart," "As Long As You Love Me," "More Than That," "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely," "The One," "Larger Than Life," and "The Call." There were even callbacks to old videos, with futuristic costumes donned for "Larger than Life" and the video for "I'll Never Break Your Heart" playing on the back screen while the Boys sang to the audience and threw roses.
This tour marked somewhat of a return to the high-energy shows of the Boys' past--almost every song featured choreography, some even had female backup dancers wearing tiny outfits. The group pounded the stage for over an hour and a half, with only a few short breaks for costume changes. The energy stayed high throughout the entire show, keeping fans on their feet screaming and dancing the entire time.
Though they've been performing a lot of the same songs for over a decade, the Boys still appear to enjoy thrilling their fans time and again, peppering the audience with waves, winks, and coy smiles--even venturing into the audience for some face-time with fans (which resulted in Nick losing his scarf and nearly his shirt). And the female fans still enjoy indulging in a heavy dose of nostalgia and remembering the days when an attractive pop star could make them swoon.
However, most of the Backstreet Boys are married now--Brian's son, Baylee, even came on stage before the show to introduce the group--as are many of the fans. But although time has changed the lives and appearance of everyone involved, the solid harmonies, fun songs, and genuine connection with the fans are still there.

White Samsung Galaxy S II for T-Mobile now available for $229.99
The white version of T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy S II was announced last month. And now it has become available to order from the magenta carrier's website. This comes as no surprise, since a few days ago T-Mobile let us know that today was the official release date for this smartphone.
Other than the new paint job, there are no differences between this and the plain 'ol black version of TMo's Galaxy S II. So you won't be buying this for new features, but simply because you believe that white is the new black. Thankfully, you won't have to pay more for it than for its dark-skinned sibling.
The white Samsung Galaxy S II can be yours for $229.99 (after a $50 mail-in rebate), with a new two-year contract. If you're interested in picking one up, go to T-Mobile over here. They're unfortunately not available on Amazon yet, though you can grab it in black for $199.

This dress is actually unworn and still has the tags on it. I'm selling it with the fullness skirt as well which is valued at about $60.00. I love the dress and hate to part with it, but I'd rather have someone else enjoy it than to have it sit in my closet any longer :) It's a size 8 long and is bridal ivory as shown in the close up picture of the detailing on the waist.
- Alterations: There were no alterations made to the dress. However, it was ordered in a size 8 long. I'm 5'7, and with the fullness skirt (which takes away some length) it is long enough for me to wear with heels.
- Preservation Method: It has remained hanging in the garment bag since it was purchased. There are no damages, alterations, or defects.
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner: Yes
- Has Original Receipt:
- Location: 23314, VA
- Will Ship to: Anywhere at Buyer Expense
- Payment Methods Accepted: Other

TC TO WILLIAM MACCALL; 6 November 1848; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18481106-TC-WM-01; CL 23: 153
Chelsea, 6 Novr, 1848—
My dear Sir,
Your Letter and Present give me great pleasure, both on my own account and on yours. On my own, because you might easily enough have got into a surly humour with me under those circumstances; on yours still more, because I draw the best auguries for you from this brave face you offer. If you can learn and unlearn till you loyally suit yourself to the essential demand of this world and this universe,—which essential demand is more or less approximately expressed (tho' often in a very obscure and crabbed manner, hardly decipherable!) by every thing and by every person you fall in with in the market of life,—there is no doubt at all but you may do a good feat yet, and earn wages in all kinds far beyond what you claim or intrinsically need. To humble "the Individuality of the Individual," and with courageous all-endurance lie open to light whencesoever coming: this is a prime duty of duties; this is an immense achievement;—every blockhead, and every contradictory platitude, becomes a man's schoolmaster, and teaches him till he do learn, in in1 this happy case!—
I am very anxious to hear that you have entered on the Lecture speculation, and what outlooks you have. If Northampton accept, try Northampton: if not, let us attempt, what can hardly be impossible, to find another free-stage. Cast all "abstractions" to the rear of you; take up such concrete, coloured, living subject as you think may fairly claim to interest poor concrete human creatures and workers such as you have known, take the best you have of such subjects; elaborate it with all your might, and with a single eye towards that result of getting men to listen to it;—all else will follow out of this first condition; nothing, as you well see, will follow without this! I believe the rule is, Never to mind your phraseology; keep the thing you wish to communicate blazing in your head, the words will come of their own accord, and be on the whole your best words. And set about the matter straightway, if I may advise; nothing seems to me nearly so feasible for you, as matters stand.
So soon as anything is settled, let me hear from you again;—or what will be better, come down, for example, on Sunday afternoon next,2 at 5 o'clock (precise); take a mutton-chop with us, and tell us what the news are.
In haste / Yours very truly / T. Carlyle

"There's a strange new creature living under your roof," says Joani Geltman, MSW, author of a new book, A Survival Guide To Parenting Teens: Talking To Your Kids About Sexting, Drinking, Drugs, and Other Things That Freak You Out (AMACOM, May 20). "Your job now is to figure out what makes teenagers tick, and to steer them to productive paths - away from the lures and dangers of drinking, drugging, sexting, bullying, and other bad decisions."
From lying, hanging with a bad crowd, spending too much time online, and falling grades, the teenage years can be an uphill battle. Her book is a no-nonsense guide you need to get your teen talking, listening, and acting appropriately. Geltman covers 80 areas of concern for those raising teenagers in today's hyper-sexual, super-social, non-stop digital environment, including these:
Cutting through teen drama and parental confusion, the book delivers fast answers and targeted solutions to dozens of behaviors that drive parents nuts. Just locate the annoying or alarming problem you're dealing with, and you'll find a brief but insightful analysis of what your teen is really thinking and feeling, along with smart, effective advice on what exactly you should say and do. By acting quickly, calmly, and knowledgeably, you can halt your teen's spiral, open up the lines of communication, and get them back into a positive, responsible, and respectful place.
"No kid is perfect, not even yours," adds Geltman. "Perhaps your teen is engaging in risky behaviors that are scaring the hell out of you, or he won't talk to you, or he isn't even trying to reach for his potential, or he's generally unlikable. It's probably been hard to find the joy in the relationship. Believe me, your teen gets your disappointment. And when this disappointment feels pervasive in your relationship, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. 'If my parents think I'm a loser, then I might as well start being a loser!' It's important to break the cycle."
Geltman is a leading parent expert, with four decades of experience in working with youth, including as a psychology professor, school counselor and social worker, a family therapist, and a parenting coach. She holds a Masters degree in social work from Washington University and has been quoted or published by USA Today, Psychology Today, Boston Globe and The Washington Post. She's also a successful parent, having raised Ari Graymor, a movie actress who is starring in the new CBS television series, Bad Teacher.
She addresses everyday topics that concern parents, including:
Geltman's advice style is not filled with psychobabble jargon, but rather she comes across from the perspective of someone who has personally been through this and someone who professionally has helped others get through the teen years. She encourages parents to express an "I get it" attitude to their teen - and to let them know their parents can imagine what they are going through. Her insightful and helpful guide reveals just what teens are thinking, saying, doing, and feeling - and seeks to inform and enlighten, even scare, the parents about the developmental and societal factors influencing their child's behavior. Geltman knows these are hot-button subjects and parents need some hand-holding. She writes with honesty, a dash of humor, and a confident and reassuring voice, sharing realistic and proven approaches. Even when a situation seems hopeless or dark, Geltman shows parents a way to move forward.
Just as parents-to-be read What To Expect When You're Expecting, parents of teens need a supportive, insightful guide to nurture parents through the pitfalls of their child's toughest years and inevitably scores of challenging situations. A Survival Guide To Parenting Teens is just such a book.

One of the original MARTA stations to open in 1979, the Georgia State MARTA station has been providing access to the Georgia Capitol and Georgia State University since day one. On both the blue and green line, the station's urban environment has more to offer than might appear on a first glance. Here are the top destinations to check out.
Georgia State University
Atlanta's downtown university gets closer rail access than any other in the city. Almost a stone's throw away from the station is Georgia State University's Petit Science Center and the Sports Arena. The College of Law in the Urban Life building and the recreation center are across the street. For fun, the Cinefest Film Theatre is off of Decatur Street and plays a variety of movies. Take the Piedmont Avenue exit out of the station and turn right to reach the campus.
Georgia Capitol
Just south of the station you'll find the gold dome of Georgia's Capitol building. In addition to being the center of the state's politics, tours and a museum are also on site. Take the Piedmont Avenue exit out of the station and turn left.
Turner Field
With the Braves scheduled to move to Cobby County, now is the time to take advantage of home games at Turner Field. The stadium was part of a facility used for the 1996 Summer Olympics, and you can either walk 25 minutes on Piedmont Avenue to reach the ballpark or walk about a block to Underground Atlanta to catch the shuttle.
Atlanta Fair
Held each spring in the Turner Field parking lot, the Atlanta Fair is a family-friendly event with rides and activities. Admission is under $10.
Sweet Auburn Curb Market
A treasure in the city, the Sweet Auburn Curb Market is always a bustling place to purchase fresh meat and produce or enjoy a meal at one of the several restaurants. There's also a convenience store and bookshop.Turn left on Jesse Hill Jr. Drive and walk about 10 minutes to Edgewood Avenue. As a bonus, the Atlanta Streetcar stops in front of the market, so you can continue your exploring with a ride to the Martin Luther King Jr. Historic District or head back to the city for a connection with the Peachtree Center MARTA station and Centennial Olympic Park.
Sweet Auburn Festivals
Several art and music festivals take place throughout the year on historic Auburn Avenue -- about a 15-minute walk from the MARTA station. Continue past the curb market to reach Auburn Avenue, which is one block away.
Catholic Shrine of Immaculate Conception
This historic church survived the Civil War and is the first and oldest Catholic church in the city. The building is open to the public during church services or you can call 404-521-1866 to schedule a tour. Take the Piedmont Avenue exit out of the station and turn left, then right on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. The church is about a block down.
Georgia Freight Depot
A remnant of Atlanta's railway past, the Georgia Freight Depot was once a lively station in downtown Atlanta. Due to a fire, only the lower level remains. The building is currently used as an event space and is typically only open for those events. Click the link above for directions. Underground Atlanta is next door for continued sightseeing.
Waffle House
As the closest Waffle House to MARTA, the one next to the Georgia Station station can get you fueled on coffee, eggs, waffles and those famous hash browns. Take the Piedmont Avenue exit out of the station and turn right.

On September 9th, 2011 @ 2:47pm EST I recorded over a 100 responses to the trending topic on Twitter #ifidieyoung. This book represents the "readymade" thoughts of complete strangers.
Joshua Deaner (b. 1976 Boston, MA) is an artist whose work is photographically based. He makes compositions, sometimes incorporating text, which are more fine art "stories" than traditional photographic prints. Deaner's work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums and is included in several private collections. Deaner graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology where he received his Associates Degree of Applied Arts and Sciences. The Boston Globe said of one of the exhibitions, "Deaner's subject matter isn't the world, but the stray, spiraling paths he wanders as he watches the world."

Dodd Frank : Title VII - Over-the-counter Derivatives : Security-based Swap Transactions
One-Year Later: Title VII of Dodd-Frank
June 10, 2011 02:00 PM
The Securities and Exchange Commission today said it is taking a series of actions in the coming weeks to clarify the requirements that will apply to security-based swap transactions as of July 16 – the effective date of Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act – and to provide appropriate temporary relief.
Title VII is the portion of the Dodd-Frank Act that establishes a comprehensive framework for regulating over-the-counter derivatives. In particular, it authorizes the SEC to regulate "security-based swaps" while also authorizing the CFTC to regulate other swaps. The portion of Title VII referred to as Subsection B, which deals with the new regulatory regime for security-based swaps, will take effect on July 16 (360 days after the date of the Dodd-Frank Act's enactment).
The Commission will:
The Dodd-Frank Act contains more than 90 provisions overall that require SEC rulemaking, as well as dozens of additional provisions that give the SEC discretionary rulemaking authority. Of the mandatory rulemaking provisions, the SEC already has proposed or adopted rules for about two-thirds of them. In addition to writing individual rules, the Commission has been focusing more generally on how Title VII and the rules thereunder will be implemented. The SEC and CFTC staffs held a joint public roundtable in April, and Commissioners and staff have had extensive discussions with market participants on the appropriate sequence for implementing the security-based swap regulations.
After proposing all of the key rules under Title VII, the SEC intends to consider publishing a detailed implementation plan in order to enable the Commission to move forward expeditiously with the roll-out of the new securities-based swap requirements in the most efficient manner, while minimizing unnecessary disruption and costs to the markets.
The SEC also announced today proposed rules that would exempt transactions by clearing agencies in security-based swaps that they issue from all provisions of the Securities Act, other than the Section 17(a) anti-fraud provisions, as well as exempt these security-based swaps from Exchange Act registration requirements and from the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, provided certain conditions are met.

Dawn is slowly breaking
Our friends have all gone home
You and I are waiting
For Santa Claus to come
There's a present by the tree
Stockings on the wall
And knowing you're in love with me
Is the greatest gift of all
The fire is slowly fading
Chill is in the air
All the gifts are waiting
For children everywhere
Through the window I can see
Snow begin to fall
Knowing you're in love with me
Is the greatest gift of all
Just before I go to sleep
I hear a church bell ring
Merry Christmas everyone
Is the song it sings
So, I say a silent prayer
For creatures great and small
Peace on Earth, goodwill to men
Is the greatest gift of all
Peace on Earth, goodwill to men
Is the greatest gift of all

Sony Computer Entertainment has provided a short response in regards to the release date delay and development concerns of "Driveclub" that sprung up after the company announced layoffs at Evolution Studios. According to a report from Aus Gamers on March 26, a representative first confirmed that the dismissals are part of a procedure to ensure the publisher is using resources to "create and produce high quality, innovative and commercially viable projects."
As a result, the company decided to cut some jobs from their European studios. In addition to Evolution Studios, Guerrilla Cambridge and SCE London also suffered job losses. You can find some screens from the arcade racing video game with the media gallery to the left side of this article and the comments from the representative below (courtesy of Aus Gamers and Video Gamer):
Regular reviews take place throughout SCE Worldwide Studios, ensuring that the resources that we have in such a competitive business can create and produce high quality, innovative and commercially viable projects. As part of this process, we have reviewed and assessed all current projects and have decided to make some changes to some of our European Studios. As a result of this, there will be a focused restructure within London Studio, Guerrilla Cambridge Studio and Evolution Studio to ensure that the SCE WWS is in the best position to achieve their goals going forward.
The publisher also clarified that the release date and development of "Driveclub" would not be affected by the layoffs of Evolution Studios. Moreover, the departure of Col Rodgers, the director of the project, was also unrelated to the dismissals.
Sony Computer Entertainment has not yet announced a new release date for the new intellectual property, which was originally announced as a PS4 exclusive launch title before being postponed indefinitely. The video game should be made available before the end of this year, however.
A recent comment made by an executive from Sony Computer Entertainment suggested that the "Driveclub" underwent a reboot at some point.

Goodbye Webmail
By user12609114 on Dec 31, 2008
It is a with a great deal of melancholy that I sit down to write this entry. It is that time of year, when we say goodbye to the old and in with the new. One of the systems that I was in charge of at my previous employer is officially going off line at midnight tonight.
I used to work for Sprint. Over the years I held many, many titles. Seems as though we re-orged every other day. At one point I was responsible for working with Sprint's customers to move their applications into our co-location facilities. One day I received a call from an exec, because there was a problem. Sprint had an application hosted by an outside company that they needed to move in house ASAP. There had been a project to do this that was WAY off track, and since I had been so successful moving our customers apps into the data center, maybe I could get this one moved.
Always up to a challenge I of course said yes. I then asked what the app was. It was a thing called shortmail and webmail. Shortmail allowed you to send text messages to a phone. Umm yeah in 2008 this is not a very novel idea, but in 2000, I had never heard of it. Webmail was a web based email application.
Diving into the project I realized things where very very bad. Not only did we have to get the applications working, it was discovered that the new 3G network, which was supposed to be ready, wasn't. We had to take over getting the 3G network running as well, so that our application would work. The date that everything had to work, was set based on marketing, not based on reality. Our CEO was going to ring the bell at the stock market and announce the new network. The project was what is called a death march in the software industry. To make a very long story short, I was able to put together a core team of people, 6 of us, who literally worked 21/2 man years in one year, each, and we pulled it off! We quite frankly left many many bodies along the way. There were many people who rolled on and off the project because they could not handle it. But the core team managed to stay together and pull the project off. I still feel to this day, that it was an amazing feat.
I made some of the best friends I have on this project. How could we not become friends? We were literally spending 20 hours a day together. Till this day I still stay in touch with most of them. Unfortunately one has moved on to greater things. Goodbye Drew, we miss you!
In '04, the application had to be moved from one data center to another. It became the reunion tour. The team was put back together and we moved it again. This time the project was not a death march. It was great working with the team again. Ironically, that project lead to another one at Sun, which led to my current position.
As I logged into pay my Sprint bill this morning, I saw the final warning message. Webmail will be shutdown this evening for good. Honestly not a lot of people really want their email address to be firstname.lastname@example.com. These days with aol, hotmail, yahoo, and google, there were very few users on the system and I do not blame Sprint for making a sound economic decision.
It is interesting to remember the good and yes the bad times we had pulling off this project. My memories are really attached to the people on the project more than the systems. So webmail, while you might be going off line, you will live on in the hearts and minds of the people who made the project real!

Simon Pegg teased his Twitter followers with the possibility for a fourth season of beloved U.K. comedy "Spaced," saying they'd circumvent earlier promises not to revive the show by skipping the third entirely.
Paramount has released a teaser for J.J. Abramsâ "Star Trek Into Darkness" featuring "Inception"-like music, threatening voiceover from Benedict Cumberbatch, the crew in peril -- and more!
SPINOFF's Adam Rosenberg reviews "Paul," saying the film, director Greg Mottola's first moviemaking team-up with "Shaun of the Dead" stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, "is a fun ride, beginning to end."
Director Greg Mottola spoke with SPINOFF ONLINE about managing the sci-fi comedy "Paul's" pop-culture references, finding the right man to voice the titular alien and more.
Actor Joe Lo Truglio spoke with SPINOFF ONLINE about how he ended up with a part in "Paul," the thrill of working with Nick Frost and Simon Pegg and why he spent half of the production on his knees.
"Paul" director Greg Mottola stopped by CBR TV to talk about his new movie starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the task of recreating Comic-Con International for the film, Seth Rogen's turn as a CGI character and more.
Co-stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost spoke with CBR TV about comic book fans' love of "Spaced," re-creating Comic-Con International in Arizona for the upcoming sci-fi comedy "Paul" and more.
Cast members were on hand at CCI to discuss "Paul," Simon Pegg and Nick Frost 's new movie that takes the comedic duo on a journey from Comic-Con International to Area 51 and beyond.

Suilad, mellyn!
Thank you to everyone who submitted an application for moderating. It was a difficult choice, but I have made the selections: please welcome Puddum and Elveanna! Puddum will be helping me with gallery submissions, while Elveanna will be helping with a completely new system: art critiques!
As a gallery moderator of a large and ever-growing community, I want to keep some sort of standard with the submissions accepted into the tolkien group; however, I do not want to discourage any new artists, and as a group we should be able to provide help and encouragement. This is where Critiques come in.
Starting now, any member of tolkien can submit their work- both finished work and WiPs- to the group's Favorite's folder. You can only submit your works, and only works you want a critique and advice on. In other words, this Favorite's folder will NOT be like your favorite's folder, but rather a place where you can put up work to be critiqued that can be separate from the normal gallery.
A couple guidelines:
Because this is the tolkien group, only Tolkien-related work can be submitted to be critiqued on to the Favorite's folder.
ANY Tolkien-related work- including pieces that have been rejected for the gallery- can be submitted here.
Do NOT submit work you do NOT want a critique on here! If you have a piece that follows the Terms of Submission, submit it to the gallery!
Just like the gallery, do not submit pieces that are *not* your own to the favorites. Favorites submissions are for critiques only!
One other piece of news: Because our group is continuously growing and submissions are ever increasing, the group has lowered its weekly submissions from 3 a week to 2 a week.
Terms of Submission, the FAQ, and other such things will soon reflect these changes.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, leave them here!
Introducing: Mods and Critiques! by tolkienWatch
©2010-2016 tolkien
I've been off the club for a few weeks but I am glad there is a new system. It looks this will improve a lot. Well done Elveanna and Puddum!
I'm happy that I'm now part of the team!
I'm sure it will be great to work with all of you and get inspired by your work
I'm sure it will be great to work with all of you and get inspired by your work
Glad to be joining the team! Hope I can be of serious service here.

Perhaps you've been to one of the New York farmer's markets and have already tried award-winning Rick's Picks. If you haven't, now is your chance to embrace your love for pickles because we've got some of Rick's Picks favorites on our shelves. You're sure to find one to suit your pickle style with tastes from sweet to savory to spicy:
Phat Beets: Aromatic spices accent the sweet-tart flavor of these fresh pickled beet slices and have won over even stubborn beet skeptics. Pickled in rosemary, ginger and lemon, they're perfect with fresh goat cheese on a cracker or in a salad, and an excellent source of fiber, iron and vitamin B.
Windy City Wasabeans: One of the most popular varieties in the product line. The great wasabi flavor is transformed into a subtle smokiness in these addictive crispy, pickled green beans. They're irresistible as a healthy snack or hors d'oeuvre – a great alternative to potato chips! Use the brine to marinate chicken or tofu, or add it to a stir-fry. Windy City Wasabeans have twice won Best in Show at the Rosendale International Pickle Festival.
People's Pickle: What's up with The People's Pickle? Simply put, the people have spoken! For years, folks have wondered when Rick's Picks, which is based on the Lower East Side of New York, would come up with a pickle that evoked the mouth-watering spirit and classic flavor of New York deli pickles. The People's Pickle is a chunky, garlicky slice with hints of coriander and dill. Just try to have only one! Even better, The People's Pickle is all-natural and LOW SODIUM.
Classic Sours: We all puckered up to simple, classic flavor of deli spears as kids. Now we can revisit delicious past with these crunchy, all-natural pickles… minus gunk of artificial ingredients.
Kool Gherks: Kool Gherks are an aromatic take on the traditional whole dill pickle. Crunch them whole or slice them up thin and serve with cheeses, charcuterie, even on bread and butter. We use a lot less salt than most picklers, so the brine is great for sipping, and a wonderful aid to digestion. Kool Gherks were prizewinners at the Rosendale International Pickle Festival.
Mean Beans: A spicy take on what Rick's Mom in Vermont calls dilly beans. This version comes with extra heat. These prize-winning crispy beans are pickled with cayenne and fresh dill and have an unusually fresh flavor. They make a great hors d'oeuvre wrapped up in salami. Garnish your Bloody Mary with Mean Beans and add the brine for an extra-potent kick. Use the leftover brine to pickle sliced carrots!
Hotties: Hotties are crinkle-cut spicy pickle chips with bold flavor notes of dried habanero and sriracha. Heat lovers are discovering that Hotties are an irresistible snack, and healthy eaters appreciate that Hotties are low sodium, gluten-free and contain no fat or cholesterol.
Smokra: Spanish smoked paprika gives our okra a deep, zesty flavor. With its vibrant taste and firm texture, Smokra is a knockout healthy snack and a great addition to an appetizer plate. Wrap Smokra in ham and halve it diagonally for a tasty treat, and use the brine for marinating brisket, tofu or pork! Smokra was featured in Oprah magazine in a Cubano sandwich.

The Four Last Things
Some articles may overlap between this section and the spiritual life, but, in general, here you will find any postings that treat of death, the judgment, heaven, or hell. Purgatory also fits into this category, closely associated as it is with judgment. Three of the four last things are inevitable for us all. The purpose of meditating on these realities is to instill a wholesome fear of God and a dread of His power, especially His power to cast into hell. Eternity may also be a proper subject for this section because it is the measure of duration that the saved will experience forever. Technically, the life of the damned is everlasting, not eternal. Only God lives in eternity, for that immutable now belongs to His own nature, which is without beginning or end, past or future. The blessed share in His eternal life, so their everlasting happiness, or beatitude, is also called eternal life. The beatific vision of God is eternal life. "This is eternal life," Jesus taught His apostles, "to know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent" (John 17:3).
The Holy Souls in Purgatory
I cherish every dogma of our holy Catholic Faith. Every dogma is a gift from God, a "pearl of great price" (Matthew 13:46). Every verse from holy scripture, New as well as Old Testament, is sacred. In the Old Testament we have the Psalms. They are such a joy to read, a comfort to reflect on, a challenge to lift us up and give us … More →

Reflections on the End of Time
"In the revealed prophecy of the end of history a catastrophic end within history is foretold. Whoever believingly accepts this [apocalyptic] prophecy, that is to say, whoever takes it to be revelation, has no possibility of ignoring the fact that the end of Time [Apoc. 10:5], within history, will be a downfall, a catastrophe. Nonetheless, his attitude to history, his attitude to the future, may … More →

'The Penalties of Truth' and Belloc's Traveller
It is often the case, well known to the close readers of Hilaire Belloc's varied essays, that he surprises us with some of his profoundest reflections and most memorable formulations in those lighter essays of his so full of banter and irony; or even in his brief, magnanimous considerations of other prose writers and poets, such as Dr. Samuel Johnson or Lord Byron, neither of … More →
Why Hell Needs to Be Preached from the Housetops
Over the last fifty years, the Catholic faithful have become increasingly more presumptuous, believing that if one is judged to be a "good person" by his fellow human beings, his soul would immediately go to heaven. The notion that he might be condemned to Hell or sent to Purgatory escapes them. Their reasoning would be something like the following: "How could a good and merciful … More →

Pray for the Dead and the Dead Will Pray for You!
I'll never forget my maternal grandfather telling me this boyhood recollection of his Catholic upbringing in New Orleans.

They taught their young charges a little ditty that … More →

Proving Purgatory
The doctrine of Purgatory, central to Christianity, is brutally attacked by certain non-Catholic polemicists.

The most surprising offseason NFL rule change has nothing to do with the potential elimination of extra point kicks following touchdowns. The head of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, John Wooten, which monitors diversity in the NFL, expects the NFL to institute a rule where players would be penalized 15 yards for using the N-word on the field. A second use of the N-word by the same player would mean an ejection. The regulating the use of language by NFL players isn't a new phenomenon given that the NFL and its teams have fined players in the past for using obscene language during live interviews and press conferences but it is different to punish NFL players about on the field language, which is an unanticipated development.
John Wooten's plan is to have the N-word "policed from the parking lot to the equipment room to the locker room. Secretaries, PR people, whoever, we want it eliminated completely and want it policed everywhere." It is very respectable that the NFL wants to limit or eliminate the use of the N-word within the buildings of all 32 NFL teams given that those workplaces mirror "normal" office workplaces. However, the NFL playing field is not the same workplace of most American workplaces. Most workplaces do not allow their employees to try to knock other people down with incredible force and power. In most workplaces, violence isn't allowed but on the NFL playing field not committing violence will cost you a job except in the cases of a couple of positions.
On the NFL football field, players should be allowed to freely use whatever terms they please to each other whether they are insulting or complementary. In the NFL, players can seek vengeance from verbal insults against others with their play or through physical force disguised as a tackle or block if a player gets personal with another player. Regulating the use of a word that generations and generations of people within the black community have been debating is a difficult and insurmountable subject for the NFL even if the subject was originally developed by the educated black men of the Fritz Pollard Alliance.

State and federal officials are working to stop an oil leak at Bonneville Dam that's putting an estimated one to two tablespoons of oil per day into the Columbia River.
While small, the leak has persisted intermittently for more than a month, according to a state incident report. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has identified a source and is working on a fix, said spokesman Matt Rabe. But until that happens, oil continues to seep from the 75-year-old hydroelectric facility into the water.
The Army Corps has placed absorbent boom on the water to keep the oil sheen from spreading, Rabe said.
"We do everything we can to prevent oil from getting to the water, and being trained to respond to capture and remove what we can," Rabe said.
The leak appears to be coming from an oil-water separator in a powerhouse on the Washington side of the structure, Rabe said. It's not yet clear exactly what's causing it, or when it will be resolved, he said.
The leak was reported Feb. 4 to the state Department of Ecology. The oil dissipated before workers could pinpoint a source, but small amounts have continued to seep out at times since then, Rabe said. The Army Corps, which operates Bonneville Dam, has provided regular updates to state and other federal officials.
Rabe said the relatively small amount of oil being released into the river isn't enough to be able to recover. But that doesn't mean it's not enough to take notice, said Ecology spokeswoman Linda Kent.
"A little bit of oil can cause a really big sheen," Kent said. "It can look pretty spectacular even if it's just a little bit."
She added: "Any sheen is a concern."
Oil leaks aren't uncommon in the Columbia Basin, which includes dozens of aging federal dams. The complicated, decades-old structures include many components that require oil to keep them running.
In 2004, the Army Corps took heat for its handling of an oil spill at The Dalles Dam that released 1,300 gallons of oil into the Columbia River. The agency promptly reported and responded to subsequent smaller spills, and other incidents have followed in more recent years.
That's one of the unfortunate realities of having dams on the Columbia River, said Lauren Goldberg, staff attorney with advocacy group Columbia Riverkeeper. But it's an unacceptable outcome for fish and people who use the river, she said.
Goldberg said it's also troubling to see only vague estimates of how much oil is spilled when such incidents happen.
"They don't have a really good way to measure that," Goldberg said. "That's a real problem."
Rabe said the oil sheen produced by the most recent incident at Bonneville Dam is contained within the absorbent boom. The Army Corps will continue to work with other authorities as it develops a solution, he said.

Torrevieja United U-10's A 2-1 SCD Intangco A
By Contributor / 2005-07-09 14:54:07
An early start seemed to suit United, as they passed the ball around with confidence. Josh Wooden was yet again faultless in defence, as Intangco probed for an opening. Honours were even approaching half-time, when a rare Intangco break led to a corner. Jean-Luc Ronan in the United goal could only help the resulting kick into his own goal, for Intangco to take an ill-deserved lead into half-time. Some slight tactical changes at half-time, saw an altogether more attack minded United take the field. Top scorer Spencer McCall was given a more attacking role, and the tidy Wooden was pushed into midfield. This paid dividends ten minutes into the second half. Wooden broke up an Intangco attack and fed McCall who volleyed home his tenth of the season. Stefan Frost replaced Haydn Cummins in attack, and was immediately in amongst the action, tackling feverishly. His robust style pulled him clear of the Intangco defence, from where he unselfishly squared, for Oliver Eley to slot home. It was now all United and Zac Cheesman rattled the crossbar late on. All in all this was another solid performance against a team who had beaten United 7-4 earlier in the season. Coach Paul Hubbard was especially pleased with the maturity with which his team adapted to the tactical changes at half-time. MOM Josh Wooden. Mature above his years.
Bigastro U14 5-2 Torrevieja Utd U14
By Gavin Bush
The match began positively for Torrevieja and within a few minutes of organised play Bigastro were penalised for an undisciplined and desperate challenge in their own box. Ben Lyons stepped up and calmly placed the ball into the back of the net. Play carried on as normal and the lads were looking focussed and confident until, moments later, the referee made an absurd decision which allowed the home side to convert from a free kick. A couple of bad calls from a referee each game is somewhat expected, especially here in Spain, where in youth football no linesmen are used. But what followed was truly shocking to say the least. The game became peppered with poor decisions, free kicks, throw ins, goal kicks and corners all went against United. Torry did make one or two defensive blunders and missed a few chances. However, Bigastroâs defensive mistakes (which were many) seemed to be corrected by the referee. Most attacking plays from the home side that were defended impeccably by the Torry lads were given a second chance by the referee. He awarded free kicks for anything. From a high foot when clearly feet werenât raised more than a few inches, to minimal sporting contact, and quite honestly for nothing at all. This didnât stop âsuper keeperâ? JP making some amazing saves, but the constant heavy challenges on him caused two injuries. One by one the goals started to slip past the injured and frustrated keeper mand although the team battled on with some quality football the flow of the game was consistently interrupted by the referee.
Bigastro U16 5-1 Torrevieja U16
Torrevieja Uniteds U16s this week took a trip to Bigastro, after the team's first home win last week the players were going into this game with confidence.
The lads showed good adaptability when I asked them to change formation on a smaller pitch than they are used to.
The game started well and Torry seemed to have the better of the play, keeping the ball and trying to play some good football. Some good chances were created by both sides early on but failed to convert any of the chances.
With about twenty five minutes gone the referee made an awful decision in sending of Kyle Common for asking him why he had been booked in the initial instance, and with a good portion of the game to go it was inevitable what was going to happen.
Another five minutes had passed when one of the Bigastro players had made an awful challenge on Liam Lovatt who was then stamped on; Liam proceeded to kick out and deservedly was sent off for retaliating.
Soon after the second dismissal Bigastro took the lead through a great effort from their captain and the source of most of their good play.
The referee by this time had managed to completely ruin the match for these young kids, who were just trying to have a game of football, if it had been a match of more importance I could understand but these boys pay subs every week to be treated unfairly.
With nine men the boys continued to give me 110% and I could not have asked any more of them, they all applied themselves correctly and acted on any instructions given.
Bigastro went on to win the game 5 - 1, only with the help of the referee who managed to stop the game at every opportunity he had.
Two players stood out for me on Saturday and helped keep the score down, first david Clark our goalkeeper made some excellent saves, and Jordan Clegg, our lone striker, did a great job of holding up the ball and bringing others into the game.
