Women's Track And Field Turns In Impressive Performance at Lewis Invitational
Feb. 13, 2005
Romeoville, Ill. - University of Illinois at Chicago sophomore sprinter Rowsha LaBranche captured a pair of top-two finishes to lead the women's track and field squad at the Lewis Invitational on Saturday afternoon.
LaBranche took home the 400-meter title, crossing the finish line with a season-best time of 59.83, while picking up a runner-up finish in the 200-meter dash with a season-best time of 26.42.
The Flames also received a winning performance from their 4x400 relay team with a time of 4:17.90.
Junior sprinter Tamika Johnson took home three top-three marks, with second-place, season-best times in both the 55-meter dash (7.46) and 400-meter dash (1:00.07). Johnson later added a third-place mark of 26.72 in the 200-meter dash.
Other second-place finishers for the Flames include: Kerry Brennan (800-meter run, 2:27.77), Laura Otepka (high jump, 1.52 meters), Sarah Morrison (long jump, 4.88 meters), Jasmine Sutton (triple jump, 10.94 meters) and Candace Jackson (weight throw, 13.13 meters).
UIC will be back in action on Saturday afternoon, as they will travel north to participate in the UW-Milwaukee Quadrangular at 11:00 a.m.

Palestinian Christians have been rubbing shoulders with each other and with other religions for centuries. We want to do so for centuries more.
by Prof. Abe W. Ata:
Dear President Bush,
Re. Palestinian Christians: tormented, betrayed, stereotyped, persecuted, forcibly removed from their homes, abandoned and alone
The Palestinian Christian is an endangered species. When the modern state of Israel was established there were about 400,000 of us. Two years ago the number was down to 80,000. Now it?s down to 60,000. At that rate, in a few years there will be none of us left. When this happens non Christian groups will move into our churches and claim them for ever. I feat that when/if the last Palestinian Christian leaves, extreme groups will move instantly to our churches and schools and have a field day hatching world plots. It would be too late for President Bush (or Senator Kerry) to do anything about it.
Palestinian Christians within Israel fare little better. On the face of it, their number has grown by 20,000 since 1991. But this is misleading, for the census classification "Christian" includes some 20,000 recent non-Arab migrants from the former Soviet Union.
So why are Palestinian Christians abandoning their homeland?
We have lost hope, that's why. We are treated as non-people. Few outside the Middle East even know we exist, and those who do, conveniently forget.
I refer, of course, to the American Religious Right. They see the modern Israel as a harbinger of the Second Coming, at which time Christians will go to Paradise, and all others (presumably including Jews) to Hell. To this end they lend military and moral support to Israel.
Even by the double-dealing standards of international diplomacy this is a breathtakingly cynical bargain. It is hard to know who is using whom more: the Christian Right for offering secular power in the expectation that the Jewish state will be destroyed by a greater spiritual one; or the Israeli Right for accepting their offer. What we do know is that both sides are abusing the Palestinians. Apparently we don't enter into anyone's calculations.
The views of the Israeli Right, and extremists affiliated with other religions, are well known: they want us gone.
Less well known are the views of the American Religious Right. Strangely, they find the liberation of Iraqis from a vile dictator just, but do not find it unjust for us to be under military occupation for 38 long years. Said Senator James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma): "God Appeared to Abraham and said: 'I am giving you this land, the West Bank. This is not a political battle at all. It is a contest over whether or not the word of God is true."
House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-Texas) was even more forthright: "I'm content to have Israel grab the entire West Bank. I happen to believe that the Palestinians should leave."
There is a phrase for this. Ethnic cleansing.
So why do American Christians stand by while their leaders advocate the expulsion of fellow Christians? Could it be that they do not know that the Holy Land has been a home to Christians since, well, since Christ?
Do not think I am asking for special treatment for Christians. Ethnic cleansing is evil whoever does it and to whomever it is done. Palestinian Christians — Anglican, Maronite Catholics, Orthodox, Lutherans, Armenians, Baptists, Copts and Assyrians — have been rubbing shoulders with each other and with other religions — Muslims, Jews, Druze and (most recently) Baha'is — for centuries. We want to do so for centuries more. But we can't if we are driven out by despair.
We are equally frightened by those who commit suicide bombings. None of us Christians have condoned it or even contemplated the idea. Our commitment to Jesus' teachings will never shake our resolve in this matter.
What we seek is support: material, moral, political and spiritual. As Palestinians we grieve for what we have lost, and few people (the Ashkenazi Jews are one) have lost more than us. But grief can be assuaged by the fellowship of friends.
(Signed Prof. Abe W. Ata, a 9th generation Christian Palestinian academic born in Bethlehem.)

Oregon Hits the Road to Face Illinois Wednesday
Courtesy: GoDucks.com
Release Date: 12/11/2012
The Ducks are 2-0 all-time against Illinois. Oregon won the most recent meeting, 77-74, played last year in Eugene. The Ducks and the Illini have never played in Champaign. Oregon is coming off a 77-73 home loss to Nevada, while Illinois posted a 73-65 win over Memphis this past Sunday.

• Twitter: @OregonWBB for in-game updates, stats, pics, etc.
Complete media information (radio affiliates, TV schedule and information) is located on page 3 of this release.
The Ducks return home to face Fresno State on Sunday, Dec. 16 with tip-time scheduled for 1 p.m.
Head coach Paul Westhead recently added two walk-ons, Katie Gruys and Chloe Stiles, to boost the roster numbers after the team has been plagued with injuries to start the 2012-13 season. Gruys is a 6-0 guard from Annandale, Minn., who is a thrower on the Oregon track and field team. Stiles is a 5-8 guard from Eugene's Sheldon High School. Both are freshmen eligibility wise.
Jillian Alleyne, a freshman from Fontana, Calif., leads the nation in rebounds (15.3 rpg) according the NCAA stats report issued on Dec. 10.
Texas' Nneka Enemkpali and High Point center Cheyenne Parker are tied for second (13.7 rpg) over a full rebound behind Alleyne.
Alleyne is one of just two freshmen who rank in the top 40 nationally, joined by Oakland's Olivia Nash who is grabbing 10.1 rebounds per night.
Alleyne has a pair of 20-plus rebound efforts through the first six games of the season. She came off the bench to grab a game-high 23 boards, eight of the offensive variety, in 32 minutes of action against No. 13 Oklahoma. She grabbed a school and Pac-12 record 27 boards against Portland State on Nov. 15.
The NCAA record for season rebounding average by a freshman is 15.5 rpg (1985 – Valorie Whiteside, Appalachian State).
Oregon is now limited to a eight-player rotation and is playing without as many as five players who have starting experience as they reach the midway point of the non-conference schedule.
Amanda Delgado is the latest Oregon player to be sidelined by an injury. The sophomore from Las Vegas, Nev., was having a breakout campaign averaging 12.7 points per game and leading the team with 17 made 3-pointers. She recently was named to the all-tournament squad after averaging 18.5 points per game Nov. 23-25 at the Rainbow Wahine Showdown in Honolulu. She is listed as day-to-day.
Laura Stanulis and Lexi Petersen have been ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury. They were two of UO's top five scorers prior to getting hurt. Stanulis also led the team in assists (33) at the time of her injury. Petersen played in just one game this year, but she averaged a team-leading 17.5 points per game on UO's preseason foreign tour to Spain.
Injuries have also sidelined key returner Deanna Weaver as well as redshirt freshman Janitah Iamaleava who has yet to play a game in a UO uniform. Weaver ranked fifth (6.7 ppg) in scoring on the 2011-12 team, the second-best average for Ducks returning in 2012-13. Weaver also ranked second on the team in 3-point percentage (24-of-66, .364) for players who had 15 or more attempts. Iamaleava is scheduled to make her return some time this season.
Three-sport standout Liz Brenner (volleyball/women's basketball/softball), a sophomore who played in 21 games and started eight contests for UO a year ago, is still competing with the Ducks' volleyball team and isn't yet available for basketball competition.
Oregon is also without the services of Katelyn Loper who transferred to UO this summer and is not eligible for competition until the 2013-14 season.
The Ducks, who opened the regular season on Nov. 11 against Saint Mary's, played their first six games over a 22 day period (Nov. 11 through Dec. 2).
Oregon now faces the busiest portion of the 2012-13 schedule as the Ducks are in the midst of playing five games over a 13-day period. Two of those games will be played on the road.
After opening the stretch this past Sunday against Nevada, the Ducks will continue against Big 10 foe Illinois on Wednesday, Dec. 12. Oregon, which has a 2-0 lead in the all-time series, has never played the Illini in Champaign.
The Ducks will then head back to Eugene where they will host a pair of games with Fresno State on Sunday, Dec. 16 before battling Samford on Monday, Dec. 18.
Oregon finishes this stretch in the schedule with a road contest against Portland on Thursday, Dec. 21.
Jillian Alleyne broke the school and Pac-12 Conference rebounding record in UO's double-overtime home loss to Portland State. In the same game, just her second as a collegiate player, Alleyne also matched the school record for points in a game with 38.
The 27 rebounds bettered the previous Pac-12 mark set nearly 20 years ago by UCLA's Natalie Williams in 1994. Alleyne's rebounding total is the 24th-highest single-game total in NCAA history (since 1982). Alleyne's mark also took down UO's 34-year-old mark that had stood since 1978.
Alleyne scored 30 of her 38 points, and grabbed 21 of her 27 rebounds in the second half and the two overtime periods. In fact, Alleyne amassed a double-double in the two overtime periods alone (10 points and 10 rebounds).
On the game, Alleyne went 13-of-24 on field goals and made 12-of-19 free throw attempts. She also contributed team-bests with four steals and three blocks.
Live audio, video for all non-televised home games or Pac-12 road games will be streamed online with links available at goducks.com (pac-12.com/live/goducks.aspx). All web streaming will be in conjunction with Pac-12 live stream.
In addition, UO basketball representatives will make periodic appearances throughout the season on Ducks Insider, a daily sports webcast (hosted by Jerry Allen and Jill Savage, 1-3 pm) that features interviews with coaches and student-athletes.
The Ducks are on Facebook. Follow @OregonWBB on Twitter for behind the scenes perspective by the staff and players.
Oregon went 4-0 on its 2012 Spanish Foreign Tour which took place Aug. 24-Sept. 2. UO played games against professional clubs from Madrid, Girona and Barcelona. Oregon defeated a professional team from Madrid, Estudiantes, in back-to-back games to open the trip (Game 1 - W, 94-67; Game 2 - W, 84-61). UO also played games at the Torneig de Basquet Unnim tournament played just north of Barcelona, recording a 103-62 win over Uni Girona and a 70-52 win over Santa Rosa de Lima.
Sophomore Lexi Petersen averaged a team-high 17.5 points per contest on the trip, one of four Ducks to average double-figures in scoring. Freshman Jillian Alleyne (14.5 ppg, 10.8 rpg) and sophomore Megan Carpenter (13.8 ppg, 10.3 rpg) each averaged double-doubles for UO. Sophomore Amanda Delgado averaged 15.0 points per outing.

Tamra Judge's ex-husband Simon Barney recently filed documents to strip her of custody of their three kids, claiming she is an unfit parent, failing to properly feed and bathe the children.
In the court documents, obtained by Radar Online and filed in California on March 28, Barney claimed Judge has been "very neglectful" in her care for the children, which has resulted in them "not getting prompt medical care, nutritional meals, hygienic care, and deterioration in their school work and attendance."
During a March 7 incident, Barney claims their son Spencer, 13, injured his thumb while under Judge's care, but sadly, Judge failed to take him to the doctor. According to Barney, Judge was asked to take Spencer to the doctor but refused. When Spencer returned to his father's home, Barney immediately took him to urgent care where it was found that the thumb was broken.
Also included in the court documents are text messages between the former couple, in which Barney alleges their 8-year-old daughter, Sophia, was once so dirty that he found bugs in her hair.
"You haven't washed Sophia hair in 3 days," Barney wrote in one message to his ex wife.
"She had a bath yesterday and was too weak. It's not a big deal," Judge responded. "She has been in bed the entire time at the house."
Barney claims that Judge's parenting has gotten so bad that Sophia has gone two to five days without bathing and has even returned to his home after spending time with Judge "wearing the same underwear she had been wearing when she was dropped off by Petitioner days earlier."
Things with Judge are so severe that, according to Barney, their oldest daughter, Sidney, 15, asked to move out last October and has been living with him ever since.
"Additionally, there is rarely any food in the home for the children to eat, as Respondent's general practice is to eat out," the documents claim. "As a result of the instability, the children rarely have a nutritional meal at Respondent's home, and are often sick."
Judge and Barney are due to appear in court on April 24.

College Hockey:Nebraska-Omaha fills assistant coach void with Castleton's Todd
Nebraska-Omaha has added Alex Todd, former head coach at Castleton, as the Mavericks' new assistant coach, replacing Steve Johnson.
Todd, a defenseman in his playing days, will coach the UNO blueliners.
Todd took over at Castleton in 2005-06 and guided the Spartans to a 22-4-1 record in 2010-11, 19-7-2 the following year and 15-10-2 this past season.
"I've gotten to know him the last couple of years," UNO coach Dean Blais said to the Omaha World-Herald. "When guys have left, he's shown interest and we've kept in touch. We're pretty lucky to get a guy like him."
Blais also admitted to the paper that he also offered the job to former Ohio State coach Mark Osiecki, whom Blais said agreed to take the job before accepting a position as an assistant coach for the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League, the top affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks.

Mychael Black
Born and raised in north Alabama, I am the quintessential Southern Scorpion guy. I love the outdoors (practically grew up camping), big dogs (none of those tiny things for me, thanks), fast cars with sexy curves and big-ass engines, leather, oh, and MEN. Mmm...yeah.
On the professional front, I write gay fiction, primarily erotic.
Now, I could just sit here and divulge my entire history, but why bore you to tears? So, here's a little something different. I asked my readers to "interview" me. Here are their questions and my answers. I'm always open for more. *winks*

Kansas tax collections fell $18 million
short of expectations in January.
In a preliminary report issued Friday, the state Department of
Revenue says January's tax revenue totaled more than $503 million -
about 3.5 percent below the official forecast of nearly $522
That's more bad news for legislators as they confront the
state's ongoing budget problems.
The shortfall for January also is likely to increase a projected
$400 million budget gap for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
Legislative researchers should have a new figure this coming week.

College Hockey:This Week in ECAC Hockey: Feb. 21, 2008
What We Know, Vol. II
What a difference a week makes
While there is still much to be determined, the league is beginning to shake itself out now with two weeks to go.
Brown, Dartmouth or Rensselaer — with 11 points apiece — could potentially replace Colgate as the eighth seed, and more importantly, claim the final home-ice spot for the first round. (The head-to-head tiebreakers are all draws so far, with the Green visiting Hamilton for the last game of the regular season, having tied back in November.) However, Colgate is seven points ahead with four games remaining. Good luck, fellas.
St. Lawrence, with 12 points, can put itself into a four-way tie with Colgate, Harvard and Union with 20 points, but can fare no better than that. Should it come down to it, the Saints lost the head-to-head against Colgate, but split the series with both the Crimson and Dutch. If the Saints win out, there will be a 20-point team playing on the road to open the playoffs, no two ways about it.
Despite tying the Golden Knights in each of their meetings this season, Colgate loses the tiebreaker with fewer wins. Same goes for the Princeton tiebreaker: no matter what, the Raiders can't match the Tigers for wins. That said, the 'Gate can still leapfrog Princeton for second place.
Harvard, Union and Yale — with 20 points each — can finish anywhere between first and ninth. Tiebreaker scenarios run amok.
Cornell has home ice wrapped up at least; the Big Red can't finish lower than eighth, and obviously still have a shot at first place. Same for Quinnipiac and Princeton.
Clarkson's cellar is seventh, and three points secure a first-round bye.
Relevant head-to-head tiebreakers:
HH = Head-to-Head; W = Wins
Clarkson beats Colgate (HH), Yale (W), Union (W), Harvard (HH) and Cornell (HH)
Princeton beats Colgate (W) and Yale (HH)
Quinnipiac beats Yale (HH)
Cornell beats Colgate (HH) and Yale (HH)
Harvard beats Union (HH) and Quinnipiac (HH)
Union beats Quinnipiac (HH) and Cornell (HH)
Yale beats St. Lawrence (HH), Colgate (HH)
Colgate beats Rensselaer (HH) and St. Lawrence (HH)
St. Lawrence does not hold a head-to-head tiebreaker so far.
Brown beats St. Lawrence (HH)
Rensselaer beats Dartmouth (HH)
Dartmouth does not hold a head-to-head tiebreaker so far.
Rex Dex
… which is to say, King Dekanich.
I touched on it a couple weeks back, but the Colgate senior has liquified goal creases all over the Northeast with his hot play of late.
Goal-judging behind Dekanich has been the easiest of money over the past few weeks, as he rides a 212:26 shutout streak over four games. Prior to shutting out Clarkson, Rensselaer and Union, Dekanich allowed a single goal — at 12:34 of the second period — in a win over St. Lawrence.
The North Vancouver, B.C., netminder would probably be getting even more recognition if he had a consistent offense at his aid. Dekanich is only 11-7-4 when allowing two goals or fewer, and his record falls to a pitiful 6-7-3 when allowing only one or two goals against. (His six shutouts don't even treat him well: the 0-0 tie with Clarkson on February 9 mars his otherwise perfect 5-0-1 record when posting the goose-egg.)
Dex's 1.88 goals-against average is fifth-best in the nation, while his league-best GAA in ECAC contests is a paltry 1.61. He has even taken over national leadership in save percentage with a .932 overall rate, and leads the league as well with .941. Tell me when this pattern gets old: Dekanich leads the nation with six overall shutouts, and leads ECAC Hockey with five.
He is doubtlessly in the running to become the first-ever multiple Dryden Award-winner, after taking home the title in 2006. Dex was named to the first team All-League that year, and was a second-team honoree last season. Might as well pencil him in for three years in a row there, as well.
Game of the Week
Yale @ Harvard: Friday, 7 p.m.
Even if you ignore the fact that this is The Game On Ice (and anything that ends with "On Ice" has gotta be good … right …?), this is a matchup of two teams vying for home ice and a potential first-round bye.
The Crimson and Bulldogs are even at 20 points apiece, and considering the clubs tied 3-3 in the first tilt of the season, this one is the rubber match for the head-to-head tiebreaker.
"The game has obvious playoff ramifications," said Harvard head coach Ted Donato. "Yale is certainly Harvard's rival, in all sports, and hockey's no different … [and given the circumstances] this game takes even more importance."
Both sides will lace up at Bright with hot streaks on the line. The Crimson have won four of five and five of seven, and swept front-running Princeton and Quinnipiac in Boston last weekend. Yale is 5-3-1 in its last nine, and also enjoyed the comforts of home in taking four points from Clarkson and St. Lawrence last week.
Harvard is led by the scoring trio of Doug Rogers, Mike Taylor and Jon Pelle, who have combined for 14 goals and 24 assists in league games. Kyle Richter started the season as hot as Mark Dekanich seems to be finishing it, but were it not for two goal-heavy losses to Boston College, his numbers now would be much more representative. (As it stands, his .934 league save percentage is second to Dex, and he is second in GAA as well with a 1.89.)
The Crimson are only scoring two and a half goals a game in ECAC play, but allowing the league's fewest at 1.94. Donato's crew doesn't take many penalties, and boasts the second-best power play and penalty-kill percentages in the conference. It may not be wide-open hockey all the time, but at least they save the best for last: nearly half of the total goals scored in Harvard games are coming in the third period.
Yale is once again led by sophomore snipers Sean Backman and Mark Arcobello, who have teamed up to pot 16 goals with 14 helpers against ECAC goalies. Newcomer Denny Kearney is making a name for himself as well with eight goals and 10 assists overall, and a half-dozen apiece in league play. The frosh out of Hanover, N.H. is second on the Eli in goals scored.
Billy Blase has started the vast majority of Yale's games thus far, with 22 appearances and a 2.31/.917 league GAA/SvP. Unlike Dekanich and Kearney, Blase has had his name in the papers a fair amount this season. After playing in only two games last year, the sophomore started the season with a shutout of Brown and has played even-if-not-stellar hockey ever since.
As a team, the Bulldogs are burying close to three goals a game against the rest of the ECAC, and surrendering about two and a half. Their 13.7 penalty minutes each game put them in the more infraction-prone half of the league, but one of the best penalty kills in the nation (90.7 overall, best in the country, and a league-best 91.9) certainly helps compensate for the occasional lack of composure.
It would be tempting, given the attention thus far, to foresee a goalie battle Friday night. Not so fast, my friend. Given the intensity of the rivalry and the parity in the standings, I'm looking toward the special-teams units as the game's true determining factors.
Crucial Weekend
Cornell: @ Quinnipiac & Princeton
The Big Red (fourth place, 21 points) hit the road to battle the Bobcats (third, 22 points) and Tigers (second, 24).
See why this might be the week's Crucial Weekend?
Mike Schafer's team finally went double-digits in the league win column on Saturday, after enduring three straight losses in which the Red struggled to score goals.
Following defeat at the hands of Clarkson, St. Lawrence and Union in which Cornell scored only five goals, the Red dumped Rensselaer 7-1 to get back on the right track. Despite going four-for-22 on the power play in the three losses, the Ithacans managed only one five-on-five marker, and allowed four goals in 14 shorthanded

By Benjamin Yount, Illinois Statehouse News
Election Day is months away, but Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican challenger Bill Brady provided a preview of the race Wednesday at a Springfield lunch of the Illinois Retail Merchant's Association and Illinois Manufacturers' Association. Both spoke about the state budget, cuts, spending, and taxes but had very different things to say.
Both candidates said they were all for business and job creation. Quinn continued to call his proposed 33 percent jump in state income tax a surcharge for education. Brady said it was just a tax increase.
Quinn pushed for a sales tax holiday for back-to-school shoppers and merchants. "As we come into the second-largest shopping season next to Christmas, that's the school-supply-buying season…We want to make sure we have a school supply tax holiday in Illinois," said Quinn.
"I think we need to anything we can to reduce the tax burden on families and businesses," Brady said. "But an eight-day holiday doesn't make near as much sense as overall reduction."
After the tax and business speeches, the two candidates clashed with each other on what the governor said is Brady's "down" attitude about the state.
"I think there's a lot of hand-wringing on the part of Sen. Brady and others," Quinn said. "I think it's important to have a governor who is a positive person about the Illinois economy."
But Brady said Quinn has little to be positive about, "Gov. Quinn wants to mask the fact that his first 12 months cost Illinois over 250,000 jobs."

A Honey of a Bunch
We were intrigued when we heard that one of our long-time fave online shopping destinations Honeybunch was setting up shop offline, and even more so when we heard the tagline 'beautiful and useful things for kids', so we figured it was bound to be a worthwhile destination.
When we arrived in Etobicoke to check it out, our first impressions of the bright yellow and white awning outside and the soothing apple-green walls inside definitely did not disappoint.
But when we got the guided tour from shopkeeper Nicole Morell of the birthday section, we were hooked. Lovely felt birthday wishes banners ($26.95), crowns (Why not make the birthday boy king for the day?) and party hats ($4.95–5.95) make gorgeous reusable party decorations. Tuck a cookie or a lollipop into a felt flower bag ($6.95) and you've got a ready-to-go lootbag any little girl would love, no plastic, no landfill. In the corner, we found shelves stocked full of great birthday presents, not your usual run of the mill, all priced at $15.95. We stocked up for a season's worth of birthday parties with the Cagola balancing game (it's a pirate ship made of bamboo), the eeBoo Time Telling game and the eeBoo Paper Doll game (again no plastic in sight).
If you're working on setting up a nursery or child's room, the eco-friendly, Oko-Tex approved Kukunest bedding (duvet cover $119, twin sheet set $79)—the Lantern Festival and Submarine patterns are fab—is a great find (that you won't find everywhere), as are Nicole's own line of vintage painted furniture and framed artwork from vintage children's books ($49). On a smaller scale, she's sourced the best kid's clothing hangers we've ever seen (about $3 each).
Other store highlights are the Noodle & Boo phthalate-free collection of body care products for children, exclusive to Honeybunch in Canada, the gr8x Baby Travel diaper bag ($95) and the Nummies nursing bras—we love the new hot pink one!
In the spring, Nicole will be launching a series of craft classes and workshops to take place in the bright store, each designed to ensure the participant goes home with a finished product.
William Morris, founder of the Arts & Crafts movement, once said: "Have nothing in your home that you know not to be useful or believe to be beautiful". With a trip to Honeybunch Homestore, you can definitely live up to his aspirations on a pint-size scale.

Apple's doing a lot of bragging about their new iPhone 5 camera. Uses a sapphire crystal and has an 8 mp sensor. 3264 x 2448 resolution, f/2.4 aperture all make the camera that much better. Apple has shown some photos taken with the iPhone 5, supposedly untouched.
They've also added the ability to take panorama photos at some 28 megapixels. Wow.
Now you can take pictures while recording. And use FaceTime over cellular (unless AT&T says no).

NetBeans 6.1 and PHP
By Miroslav Kopecky on May 23, 2008
Yesterday, one professor asked me to do small pressentaion on his lecture about NetBeans usage for PHP programming. I didn't have much time so everything I presented in real time. Happiness was fast internet and before pressentaion I had everything downloaded. I did promise to students to put some steps on my blog.
1. Download NetBeans IDE - Early Access for PHP
2. Prepare additional software ( Apache Server, MySQL ... ) for PHP development
note: for Windows user I offer use apache friends XAMPP
3. Start NetBeans IDE and create new project
File -> New Project -> PHP Application -> Click
Note: Project Sources should corespond to apache server web directory
7. For developing you PHP applicaiton you have chance to use palette inside IDE ( Right panel ). It's easy to place piece of code to yours one. It's very hepful and you could develop yours application much faster.
8. Have a fun when you are developing PHP application

This tool is so powerful it requires an extra-long side handle.
A three-speed gear box and an ultra-low bottom gear make for higher torque at lower drilling speeds.
This two-speed model posted respectably fast drilling times in low gear applications.
Stronger than ever before, the best of these heavy-duty tools can replace a corded 1/2-inch drill for tough tasks.
The Camo Edge Pro is an innovative way to install decking with hidden screws. It's basically a jig for toe-screwing a large number of fasteners in a short period of time.
Everyone needs a few quality screwdrivers. Channellock recently redesigned its with a decidedly retro look that actually makes them easier to use.

5 a.m. ET Update: Category 3, 115 Miles SE of New Orleans
Hurricane Gustav, a Category 3 hurricane, is bringing heavy bands of rain as it approaches New Orleans, The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Monday. A hurricane warning that was issued for east of the Mississippi-Alabama border to the Alabama-Florida border has been changed to a tropical storm warning.
In its 5 a.m. ET advisory, the NHC said the storm was about 115 miles south-southeast of New Orleans. The storm, moving at about 16 miles per hour with maximum sustained winds of about 115 mph is moving northwest and is expected to continue on this track for at least the next day, with some decrease in forward speed and a gradual turn west northwest on Tuesday. On its current course, the center of Gustav should cross the Louisiana coast by midday Monday. The NHC said no significant change in strength is likely before landfall, with weakening expected after Gustav moves inland. A dangerous storm surge of 10-to-14 feet above normal tidal levels is expected near and to the east of where the center of Gustav crosses the coast. The storm is expected to produce rainfall accumulations of 6-to-12 inches over parts of Louisiana, southern and western Mississippi, Arkansas, and northeastern Texas, with isolated maximum amounts of up to 20 inches of rain possible through Thursday. Isolated tornadoes are possible over the central Gulf coast later Monday.

Military-inspired, Mann-preserved
When Dick Mann is taken by a motorcycle, you know it's something special.
In fact, the legendary racer, who scored 13 of his 24 Grand National victories aboard British-built BSAs, was so enthralled by the reputation of this 1936 BSA Y13 that he bought it, sight-unseen, when he came across a classified ad for the machine in 1985.
Mann had good reason to act fast. The Y13 wasn't exactly common even in the late 1930s—and it's gotten considerably rarer since.
BSA originally built the 750cc V-twin bike for the British army, but the Y13 was passed over for a simpler 500cc side-valve design. With the largest intended customer out of the market, there was little demand for the bike, and the company built only 1,600 Y13s from 1936-'38.
The Y13 was designed to be stout from the inside out, starting with the engine. Featuring aluminum alloy pistons and roller bearings for the main shaft, the pushrod V-twin was built to last.
The dry-sump lubrication system, fed from a four-pint under-seat oil tank, kept the overhead rocker arms and big end bearings moving smoothly. The four-speed, right-side-shift transmission had two ranges, one for solo riding, and another with lower gearing for use when a sidecar was mounted.
The sidecar option dictated the use of a cradle frame, with sidecar mounts, and a girder front fork with a steering damper, plus quick-adjust shock absorbers.
Nice touches included a rubber-mounted handlebar to reduce vibration, a twist throttle, an adjustable spring seat, metal toolboxes and a tank-mounted instrument panel.
Although Mann's Y13 closely matches the original, he modified it to his own liking. Mann's bike features a staggered custom exhaust, 19-inch wheels, a U.S.-style taillight and license plate, and luggage only on the left side.
Now owned by John Sawazhki, this BSA was previously on display as part of the "SuperMann'' exhibit in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum at AMA headquarters in Pickerington, Ohio.

Few bands have a reputation for making music as consistently honest, organic and daring as Gov't Mule. Now the enduring group, fronted by visionary, GRAMMY Award-winning singer-guitarist Warren Haynes (with drummer/co-founder Matt Abts, keyboardist-guitarist Danny Louis and bassist Jorgen Carlsson) has delivered once again with their first album in four years. Their Blue Note Records debut Shout! is a breath-taking, exploratory double-disc set. The album shines a spotlight on the virtuosity and intelligence that has made Gov't Mule so extraordinary over the past two decades. Their rich history began in 1994 with their eponymous debut that found the band reinvigorating old-school psychedelic blues-rock. The band's fan base steadily expanded over the course of 15 critically acclaimed studio and live releases, millions of songs sold and thousands of performances, making them the consummate live act.
Today, Gov't Mule have become a human encyclopedia of great American music while still adding to the cannon. Through it all Haynes has served as not only the group's captain, but as a beacon of creativity and excellence that inspires fans and fellow musicians.
On Shout!, Gov't Mule are offering an unprecedented gift for fans - a double-disc album that features all-star guests vocally re-interpreting each new Mule song - Elvis Costello, Dr. John, Ben Harper, Toots Hibbert, Glenn Hughes, Jim James, Myles Kennedy, Dave Matthews, Grace Potter, Vintage Trouble's Ty Taylor and Steve Winwood. The album bears the jazz-like philosophy, stunning scope and creative language that the band has developed together. They're the rare rock 'n' roll group with an improvisational heartbeat, a quality that distinguishes the finest rock, blues and jazz recordings of all time. It's no wonder fans of the GRAMMY-nominated band have come to expect nothing less than the inventive and incendiary songs that propel Shout!. [from Gov't Mule biography]

Low scores dominated the third round of the New Zealand Open at The Hills today.
Perfect conditions allowed for a host of birdies in Queenstown and Australian Dimitrios Papadatos has a one-shot lead over the field after three rounds.
The 22-year-old delivered a five-under 67 today as he moved to 12-under for the tournament with Kiwis Mark Brown and Richard Lee in second at 11-under.
Australian Ashley Hall holds outright fourth at 10-under, while four players have a share of fifth at nine-under.
Adam Bland, who enjoyed the round of the day with an eight-under 64, was pleased to make a move up the leaderboard as he became one of the foursome at nine-under.
"It went well. Early on I made a few solid birdies then made a few average bogeys which kind of put a stop to my round. Then on the back nine I hit some good shots, then holed them, converted them," Bland said of his round.
"The last few days I haven't been able to convert the good shots so today was a little bit different.
"I got up and down a couple of times, from some spots where it looked like I might have made bogey, I just putted really well from 10 to 15 feet, which I haven't done for a while so it's really good."
Lower Hutt's Gareth Paddison was another big mover today as he carded a six-under 66 and joined Bland, among others, in a tie for fifth.
The 33-year-old said he had a low-key evening planned after going to the putting greens for some more practice.
"Relax, totally. We've been having good dinners out in Queenstown. It's such a good place. It's a great week off the course, no matter how you play," he said. "It's ideal that I'm in contention, which is good because that was one of my goals and to shoot six-under today, I said to my friend and caddy, Mike, that six-under would be a good score to shoot and sure enough I did that and now it's just relax and look forward to tomorrow really."
Craig Palmer, who is the club professional at The Hills, is also in the mix heading in to the final day as he shot a seven-under 65 and joined the group at nine-under.
Auckland's Ryan Fox and Te Anau's David Klein are among a collection of seven players at eight-under for the week in a share of ninth.
There's a host of Kiwis in the hunt for the title, which will be pleasing for local fans given a New Zealander hasn't won the national open since Mahal Pearce triumphed at Middlemore in 2003.
American Rocco Mediate, who missed the cut of the professional tournament by two shots, made the cut of the pro-am event with amateur Mark Richardson but withdrew this morning citing aches and pains.
They can't have been too serious though as Mediate will open the final round of the tournament tomorrow by playing 18 holes with Prime Minister John Key and former British Open champion Sir Bob Charles

If you are looking for an easy meatloaf recipe that is full of flavor and filling, this easy and tangy recipe is for you. This is a quick dinner to prepare (you can assemble it earlier, store it in the fridge, and just put it in the oven when ready to cook) that your whole family will love.
Meatloaf sometimes has a bad reputation. People often see it as a boring loaf of ground beef that will need to be smothered in ketchup to be edible. This recipe will change their minds!
Easy and tangy meatloaf
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3/4 cup finely crushed saltine cracker crumbs
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, mix thoroughly all remaining ingredients and shape into a loaf.
- Press the brown sugar on top of the loaf and spread ketchup over brown sugar.
- Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until juices are clear.
Editor's Notes:
- ¼ c brown sugar is enough and to add just a little something extra, add 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- ½ c milk and 1 egg work fine
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced adds a nice boost of flavor in the ground beef mixture
- Seasoned bread crumbs instead of crackers adds more flavor as well
- To cut cooking time, use mini loaf pans to make individual meatloaves

But for two hours, Romney, Santorum, Paul and Gingrich had a different campaign in mind, their own race for the Republican nomination and the right to oppose Obama in the fall.
After a brief lull, the campaign calendar calls for 13 primaries and caucuses between next Tuesday, when Arizona and Michigan have primaries, and March 6, a 10-state Super Tuesday.
Romney is campaigning confidently in Arizona, so much so that his campaign has not aired any television ads.
But the former Massachusetts governor faces an unexpectedly strong challenge in his home state of Michigan, where Santorum is hoping to spring an upset. Santorum's candidacy has rebounded in the two weeks since he won caucuses in Minnesota, Colorado and a non-binding primary in Missouri.
The result is a multimillion-dollar barrage of television commercials in Michigan in which the candidates and their allies swap accusations in hopes of tipping the race.
In all, 518 Republican National Convention delegates are at stake between Feb. 28 and March 6, three times the number awarded in the states that have voted since the beginning of the year. It takes 1,144 to win the nomination.
The dynamic of the campaign — Santorum challenging Romney — made their clashes Wednesday night inevitable.
Romney said Santorum voted five times while in Congress to raise the government's ability to borrow, supported retention of a law that favors construction unions and supported increased spending for Planned Parenthood. He said federal spending had risen 78 percent overall while the former Pennsylvania senator was in Congress.
Santorum retorted that government spending declined as a percentage of the economy when he was in the Senate, and he noted that when Romney was asked last year if he would support a then-pending debt-limit increase, "he said yes."
There was a clash over federal spending earmarks, as well, and Gingrich sought to intervene as if serving as a referee instead of a debate participant.
He said he supported the earmarks that Romney had sought for the Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002, but then he accused Romney of observing a double standard by running television ads attacking Santorum for having voted for different earmarks.
He said it was silly for Romney to take the position that "what you got was right and what he got was wrong."
In the hours leading to Wednesday night's debate, Romney called for a 20 percent across-the-board cut in personal income taxes as part of a program he said would revitalize the economy and help create jobs. The top tax rate would drop from 35 percent to 28 percent, and some popular breaks would be scaled back for upper-income taxpayers. However, aides provided scant details.
"We've got to have more jobs, less debt and smaller government, they go together," Romney said in an appearance in nearby Chandler. "By lowering those marginal rates, we help businesses that pay at the individual tax rate to have more money so they can hire more people."
Romney's proposal sharpened his differences with Obama, who favors allowing tax cuts enacted under President Bush to expire on higher incomes.
Santorum, who has emerged as Romney's leading challenger in the Republican race, campaigned at a tea party gathering in Tucson, where he said his rival's new tax proposal largely mirrored one he had had already made.
"Welcome to the party, governor, it's great to have you along," he said.
Santorum's rise in the race has left Gingrich and Paul on the outside looking for a way in.
The former House speaker has yet to recover from a campaign nosedive that began after he won the South Carolina primary on Jan. 21, and he is pinning his hopes on his home state of Georgia to begin a comeback on March 6.
His campaign announced plans Wednesday to buy 30-minute blocks of television time in upcoming primary and caucus states for an infomercial on reducing energy prices.

These new bird sound animations were commissioned by Europeana Creative and funded by the EU. The video was created using sound recordings from the archives of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision.
Here is the inspiration for the work. Insects, orchids and birds. Insects eat the plants, birds eat the insects….humans eat EVERYTHING!
And some sketches
I will create a detailed explanation of how I created this, in the mean time here are a few quick screen grabs. Main tools used: XSI ICE with emfluid, empolygonizer, 3dsMax, After Effects, and rendered with Vray.
Basically I use simple geometry activated with the audio float controller in 3dsmax. This geometry is used as an emitter object or a surface constraint object in particle setup in fume fx, XSI ICE, and Realflow.
Ice Particles in XSI
Particles polygonized
here is one of the ice trees. This is what drives the behaviour of the particles. Multiple ice trees were used in each simulation.
3dsmax setup with Vray. Alembic was use to go back and forth between programs.

Asus to make this year's Nexus 10 tablet, not Samsung?
Not long ago, Google refreshed its Nexus 7 tablet. The new model is still made by Asus, the same company that produced the first Nexus 7, which was unveiled last year.
But Google's got another tablet too. The 10-inch offering, called Nexus 10 (pictured below), is currently being made by Samsung. This tablet was introduced last year alongside the Nexus 4 smartphone by LG.
Since the Nexus 7 got a refresh around one year after the release of the first model, the entire blogosphere has been anxiously waiting for the same thing to happen this fall to the Nexus 10. And a few weeks ago we heard that Samsung would be the company that would make the second generation Nexus 10 too. This info was said to come directly from Sundar Pichai, Google's VP in charge of Android.
Was that wrong, though? Was Pichai misquoted? See, the plot thickens because today a new report claims something else entirely. Namely, that Asus will be making the next Nexus 10.
Yes, that's the same company also producing the Nexus 7. And sure, because of the development of both Nexus 7 generations, Google probably has a great relationship with Asus. But it making the new Nexus 10? This is the first time we've heard about anything like this.
However, the information comes from Geek.com and its anonymous sources. We could just ignore this report, but this is the same site that accurately predicted the release of the Google Play edition Samsung Galaxy S4. It's unclear if it's the same sources who tipped the fact that Asus will be making the Nexus 10, but still we can't discard this possibility.
Unfortunately no specs have been mentioned for the next iteration of the Nexus 10, so we're left guessing on that front. Perhaps a Qualcomm processor is pretty much a given if Asus is involved, since the new Nexus 7 uses a chip from that company too. We'd also hope for the 2,560×1,600 screen resolution to stay, because really – who downgrades hardware from one generation of a device to the next?

God bless.Reply

All I have to say is you keep shining baby, you're real and genuine and that is rare in this world, I think a lot of people sell out, they sell there soul. Like I've said before when you let your EGO take over your life, you "E-dge G-od O-ut" and that's when you loose yourself, objects and things don't make you. Quote from Dr. Wayne Dyer. You are so inspiring and uplifting. I love how silly you can be and then so serious. You give me hope, to carry on. Thank you. I am discovering a passion for writing which helps me because that is mine and gives me hope to give others hope. I thought I was only good at painting and art but know I am finding out I can write. I'm only 42, sometimes I feel like it's to late to follow your dreams, but I am understanding it can happen at any time at any point in your life. My grandma gave me a beautiful rosary when I was young she had it blessed, I've kept it close to my heart, it's helped me though all the tough times in my life, God and Jesus is there. Again more power to you in all that you do to help others. God Bless you. love, DebbieReply

Hi Tyler. I have been a fan of your movies since 2009. The first movie that I saw was Madeas Happy Family and it totally blow my mind away. In the year of 2010 I converted and give my life to Christ Jesus our Lord and I left all my life behind. I was a homosexual person and God himself deliver me from that bondage. I thank you because in that role play that I saw on that day you gave me hope that I could have a better life and that my dreams, the dreams that God had put in my heart a long time ago where not dead and that I could still go for them and make them a reality. For the Glory of God I have been able to be free and really known myself as a men. Your movies had inspired me to reconciliate with my mom, wich I didn't talk to her for a long period of time and thanks to the Lord I had an amazing relationship with her. Most important I now know the real meaning of living an is doing what Jesus did, given without expecting anything from any one, and your life and movies had show me that. Hope to really see you one day and work for you sooner. Brother in Christ God Bless you and may he prosper the works of your hands in order for you to be a blessing to more people like me. Thank you for all you have done. God Bless you men.Reply

We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; Romans 12:6 Keep showering us with your gifts, some people don't know/understand the giver but the gift is a seed that will grow beyond the walls of Hollywood, Compton, China and Italy. You are a great gift, and have evolved - I pray people will focus on how they can contribute to presenting their gifts instead of being thug ravens!Reply

We bought the DVD of Madea gets a job when it came out. We have watched it just about every day since we got it and are still in awe of the play. The show was so funny and real and inspirational. I am telling everyone to buy the DVD and will be letting my church watch it on movie night. The part I loved so much is where two sets of families are having problems because of blended families. It touched home because I went through that and now my brother is going through the same thing and he is having such a hard time. I hope you continue to bless us through your plays and movies. There will always be people who don't like what you do but please stay encouraged to know that there are people like us who will always love you and have your back. The entire Bain family love you and God bless you and yours.Reply
