USF pulled a shocker Friday when they withdrew its scholarship offer from Brion Carnes, the Manatee quarterback that was the Bulls first commit of 2010. The news broke when Manatee coach Joe Kinnan told both the Sarasota Herald-Tribune and the Bradenton Herald of the Bulls plans, and in both articles Kinnan was not happy that USF pulled the offer to say the least.
Carnes, a 3-star QB prospect, threw for 2,697 yards and 25 touchdowns this season, leading Manatee to the state championship game, where they lost to Plant. Carnes has been coming to USF practices since he was a sophomore and was an early commit, but since Jim Leavitt was fired, he had been listed as a soft verbal. He still said he remained committed but was keeping his options open. Than after news that offensive coordinator Mike Canales would no longer be on staff, Carnes seemed even iffier about being a Bull.
With his recruitment re-opened, Carnes entertained offers and set some visits up. Visiting Nebraska where his cousin Tommie Frazier played last week and is visiting Western Kentucky where he has a relationship with head coach Willie Taggert, who played at Manatee and assistant coach Raymond Woodie, who was the coach at nearby Palmetto.
There were rumors that Carnes commitment was softening even more, but Coach Kinnan told USFN that he would make a final decision after his visit and said "He'll choose between USF, Nebraska, and WKU."
Apparently the Bulls didn't want to wait for a decision and now when Brion makes his choice on signing day, a USF hat won't be on the table.

Neither camera has a flash, which means that everything will come out in shades of blue under water unless you bring your own light.
Neither camera leaked, which gave them an edge over more expensive "professional" cameras on this trip.
Both the Kodak and Fuji look very similar with a sealed plastic case (with slight positive buoyancy) and thick rubberbands for securing to a wrist or clipping to a BCD.
I have to give the edge to the Fuji in terms of both design and results. The Fuji was easier to wind and to snap shots with and the pictures came out sharper. The 800 film in the Kodak produced shots that were way too grainy.
It has two disadvantages; the first is its lack to a flash. There isn't much sunlight under 35ft of sea water and so the photos turned out a little too dark and bluish. After color correction the photos turned so pale and spotted. The pictures taken above 20ft were awesome. The second disadvantage is that the camera's eye lens it too small for someone who is wearing a diving mask (goggle).
The camera doesn't lose its color to the eye even under 60ft since it is blue. And it has a place where a rope or a nylon tape can be tied to it so it can be attached to the diving jacket (BCD).
It is not perfect, but it's the best.
1. Price - A $10 waterproof disposable camera is very reasonable. I think for the price this camera is everything it is suppossed to be. The charter we went on the snorkeling trip with was renting $400 cameras with all the bells and whistles for $20 and $10 per roll of film.
2. Flash - For a snorkeling trip, and staying close to the surface I have to say this camera didn't do too bad. The colors were a bit blueish but nothing that I can't live with. As far as my 25 foot dive down to a turtle to get a picture, I shouldn't have wasted the picture, it is dark and blurry without a flash.
3. Eye Piece - This is a big pain to use with goggles. I eventually stopped trying to aim and just started snapping pictures. I would have to say that to be able to take clear photos underwater this camera needs a bigger eye piece.
Overall I was satisfied with this camera but to tell you the truth I wish I would have rented the camera from the boat with the flash (if only for the picture of me and a giant turtle).
There is no flash on the camera (though using a flash underwater can produce unpredictable and sometimes undesirable effects), so do not plan on using it in low-light situations.
Film does not like to get wet, and accidentally dropping your camera in water could mean that all the pictures you just took are lost forever. So even if you don't plan on taking your camera physically underwater on your family boating expedition, you might still want to consider purchasing a Water & Sport camera as insurance against "splash damage".
If you need a flash, or if you plan to take pictures at depths greater than 50 feet, you'll need to consider a professional underwater camera or camera housing.

Talk doesn't surprise coaches
PULLMAN – The Pac-12, we hardly knew ye.
As the events of the past week have shown, the college sports landscape is about as anchored as a palm frond in a hurricane.
The tossing and turning began last year. It seemed to have slowed. But with Texas A&M announcing its intent to leave the Big 12, Oklahoma president David Boren talking as if the Sooners were next and Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott in Dallas last Saturday for the Oregon game with LSU, the past few days have been pelting us with news.
And the guys doing their best Jim Cantore impersonation and leaning into the driving rain? The Pac-12's football coaches. Right in the middle of their season. Well, the beginning of it, actually.
"It's amazing the time of the year," Oregon State coach Mike Riley said on the coaches' usual Tuesday conference call. "I'm surprised by the timing of the talk, because we're just beginning our season. There appears to be a lot going on out there on this topic.
"We've already had some big changes and I think there is still more to come. Whatever that is, I'm not knowledgeable enough to say, but I know something more is coming."
But no matter the timing, none of them are surprised about the storm clouds surrounding Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech once again leaving the Big 12 and heading west, possibly as soon as next year.
"It's prudent," UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said of Scott saying he's willing to listen to schools that might want to join the conference. "As this thing get divided up, it's better to be a have than a have-not. I think Larry Scott has proven he's wily in these affairs and I'm expecting he's right on the cutting edge of whatever is going on."
If the change does come, it is going to force changes among the Pac-12 schools.
"It's going to make people wake up and continue to grow their facilities," Washington State coach Paul Wulff said. "You start looking at the Oklahoma States and those programs back there, they've got big-time facilities. There's a correlation of big-time facilities attracting better players."
And no one thinks the storm's end is in sight.
"I think it's inevitable that there is going to be four superconferences in Division I football, with 16, maybe even 18 teams in each conference," said Utah's Kyle Whittingham, who will coach his first Pac-12 game Saturday at USC. "I'm not saying I'm in favor or I'm against it. I'm just saying that's where it's headed and I don't see any way around that.
"And I also see a playoff system being implemented once those super conferences are in place. That's just where I think it is headed and it could be as soon as the next couple years."
Four from the Pac-12
1. The Utes are not only dealing with USC this week, they are dealing with real life. Junior Ron Tongaonevai's wife, Janelle, died in an auto accident Thursday night right after Utah defeated Montana State, 27-7. "That's a black cloud hanging over our program," Whittingham said. "It really puts things in perspective. … That's been a focal point, giving our support and love to Ron and helping him through this time. It's been the main priority."
2. Oregon State quarterback Ryan Katz went into the season opener against Sacramento State considered one of the better players at his position in the conference. But that didn't mean much Saturday. He was replaced in the second half of the Beavers' 29-28 overtime loss by redshirt freshman Sean Mannion. Riley said Katz is still the starter, but Mannion will probably play this week against Wisconsin. "There's no doubt, we had a much better rhythm in the second half," Riley told reporters Monday. "The first half, we really did nothing very well. We just kind of sputtered around and weren't playing with much confidence on either side of the ball at times in the game."
3. Arizona ended the 2010 season on a five-game losing streak, with the worst of those losses the final one, a 36-10 defeat to Oklahoma State in the Alamo Bowl. The Wildcats (1-0) get a chance to avenge that defeat quickly this season, as they travel to Stillwater to play the Cowboys on Thursday. "We had a great opportunity (to win) a year ago," coach Mike Stoops said. "We made way too many mistakes to beat a team like that. We have to correct those mistakes in a game like this. We're going to have to score points … (because) they are a top 10 football program, without question." The Wildcats had six first-half possessions in Oklahoma State territory in the bowl game and scored just one touchdown. Nick Foles struggled, throwing three interceptions.
4. There's a quarterback controversy brewing in Westwood, but the play of Kevin Prince and Richard Brehaut wasn't foremost on Neuheisel's mind after UCLA's 38-34 loss to Houston last Saturday. The defense was expected to be a strength and wasn't. "For whatever reason, we didn't play fast," Neuheisel said. "These are kids that are fast, athletic and we did not play that way. I don't know if it was because of indecision, first-game stuff, but we did not look as quick as we looked the year before."

Well, if you use the tray icon [*] and enable the option, the buddy list currently tries to save and restore its posisition, with *exceedingly* variable results depending on how broken your WM is. I'm not going to enter into a loosing battle trying to store things about windows which might not be there (conversation windows, buddy list (what if signon fails?), error dialogs, etc), and open up the way for countless bug reports about how people's buggy WMs handle the ICCM standard from one week to the next. Besides, I *think* the session manager is supposed to restore the window configuration of correctly role-hinted windows, and we're setting all the role hints on our windows now. Failing that you can get your WM to do it. > im running gnome-session-manager, and it works fine. Cool, thanks for the feedback. The patch got merged yesterday.

Edited track releaseHall of Fame jockey Pat Day, horse racing's all-time earnings leader, will ride at Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie on opening night of the Texas racetrack's Thoroughbred season, Thursday, April 3.Day, one of the most popular fixtures in horse racing, will ride at Lone Star Park and participate in a free autograph session at 4:30 p.m., one day before he travels to Lexington for the April 4 opening of Keeneland's racing season. Day will probably have a mount in the $50,000 Premiere Stakes. The race is a one-mile test for older Texas-breds and is the traditional first race of the season at Lone Star Park. Assistant racing secretary Jeanette Hughes will assist Day and his agent in securing mounts that evening. In addition, the 49-year-old horseracing legend will be the guest of honor at the April 2 Lone Star Park Opening Cocktail Party, a fundraising event for the Lone Star Park Charitable Foundation for Grand Prairie and the Racetrack Chaplaincy of North Texas. He'll also appear at a special luncheon on April 3 for local clergy. Day serves on the executive board of the Racetrack Chaplaincy of America.Day, who won last year's grade III, $300,000 Lone Star Park Handicap on millionaire Congaree, is the second straight Hall of Fame jockey to ride at Lone Star Park on opening night of the Thoroughbred season. Last year, Dallas-native Jerry Bailey won two races from four mounts, including the Premiere Stakes on 2001 Texas-bred Horse of the Year Lights on Broadway. Day is one of only three jockeys to have ridden at least 8,000 winners in his career. Nine of those triumphs came in Triple Crown events. In addition to winning the 1992 Kentucky Derby aboard Lil E. Tee, Day has won a record five Preakness Stakes: Tank's Prospect (1985), Summer Squall (1990), Tabasco Cat (1994), Timber Country (1995) and Louis Quatorze (1996). He has also prevailed in the Belmont Stakes three times: Easy Goer (1989), Tabasco Cat (1995) and Commendable (2000).

This ring looks like a cheap piece of glass. the only reason 2 stars is because the setting is very nice. if they would use a better Faux center stone thhis ring would look great.. I'm not sending it back--i will give it to my 5 year old grandaughter to play withRead More
I was intrigued by the new "halo" style ring. I did not want to order an expensive one until I could judge the type of ring myself. I ordered this one to get an idea of what it might be like on my finger. As it turns out, I found it appeared much to large a type or ring for my finger. Therefore, I got what I wanted to see without spending a fortune so basically this is not a negative review.Read More

I was ready for that 'bling ring'...how sad I was when I got this wretched knock-off. No sparkle. The middle looks plastic. Yuck.Read More
I have no idea what I was thinking when I bought this trinket. It is definitely a HUGE costumey looking bauble. If you like that sort of thing, then this ring is for you. If you are looking for a classy piece, then keep searching.Read More
The ring looked so cheap and it was defective! I was soo excited for it, and I was extremely disappointed. The ring setting had a sharp edge to it because the side CZs were not mounted properly, one of them is indented and the so the other CZs next to it poke out. The prong on the defective CZ was sharp because it was not rounded or filed properly :(Read More
I received my ring yesterday and WOW was I surprised. When I opened the box, my son said (he's 12) WOW that ring is really pretty and he is right. This ring is GORGEOUS, SPARKLY AND EXTREMELY STUNNING. I cannot say enough about it. The sun dances off the stones and it really does make an awesome statement. My husband bought this ring for my birthday and this is by far the best birthday present I have ever received. Thank you AGAIN Overstock for making me a happy and satisfied customer.Read More

Arizona crackdown on human trafficking goes into effect
PHOENIX — One of the nation's toughest laws against human trafficking went into effect in Arizona on Thursday.
The law increases penalties for johns, protects victims and adds child prostitution, sex and labor trafficking to the list of acts considered racketeering.
"Whether you come from across the country or down the street, women and girls in Arizona are not for sale," said Glendale Police Chief Debbie Black.
The law was signed with the upcoming Super Bowl in mind, an event that typically sees a spike in prostitution — adult and child alike.
"This is a proud and significant day for Arizona, particularly for those who have been personally affected by the horrendous crime of human trafficking," said Gov. Jan Brewer after signing the law in April. "There is much more work to be done in our fight to eliminate this atrocious modern-day slavery, but in signing this legislation and implementing critical measures, we take another good step forward in the right direction."
A new public advertising campaign also began Thursday. It features the slogan behind the law, "In Arizona, we're not buying it."
"As for the excuses you've gotten away for years, if not decades, in Arizona, we're not buying it," said Black.
The law also requires escort and massage therapy businesses to include their license number in all advertising.

Omening Day?
It is a cold, miserable day in Des Moines. The steady rain may change to snow by the time the Iowa Cubs are scheduled to open their home season at 7:05 tonight versus the Memphis Redbirds, the team that caught them at the tape last Labor Day and squeezed past into the PCL playoffs. Ironically, that change in the form of precipitation might increase the chances of the game being played. Just in case the game tonight gets called I had a couple of hot dogs for lunch.
The I-Cubs beat the Isotopes on getaway day yesterday in Albuquerque, 10-6, behind five RBI from holdover Bobby Scales to split their season-opening road swing through Texas and New Mexico at 4-4. At the plate Tony Campana, Lou Montanez and Scales are off to hot starts. Fernando Perez has drawn eight walks and swiped three bases and Bryan LaHair has already knocked in nine runs. There hasn't yet been much pitching to which any of those responsible would sign their names. Chris Carpenter has fanned eight and walked but two so far in five innings spread over three appearances.
Here's alink to a new feature at the I-Cub website this year that's a nice one-stop daily clearinghouse for media reports: http://iowa.cubs.milb.com/news/page.jsp?ymd=20110317&content_id=16994120&vkey=news_t451&fext=.jsp&sid=t451
No doubt there are better days ahead weather-wise and this club deserves some breaks in that department. Last year the team was 4th out of 16 in the PCL in attendance despite that Des Moines is 14th in the league in population.
Weather relenting, J.R. Mathes starts for Iowa tonight. It feels like he's been here as long as Wakefield's been in Boston, maybe longer if you asked him.

Re: Omening Day?
cheaper than anything you can get at Dodgers Stadium at least. Easily looking at close to $100 for food, drink, parking to take my munchkins when Cubs visit in May.
4 tickets for $40 through $108 with food and drink, various sections.
Re: Omening Day?
I'm fortunate to live close to a nice minor league ball park. That's where I take the munchkins. If shit gets real, we can leave and I'm not too upset about missing a game. Plus... great seats for $9
Re: Omening Day?
I think that could be read with a meaning you did not intend.
Re: Omening Day?
I think that was intentional. Those with kids understand the 'charms' (both good and bad) of dragging small kids out into public.

Re: Omening Day?
Not random ones, they're smart enough to target the weak.
Re: Omening Day?
Only if they are asking for it by wearing Giants gear.
Re: Omening Day?
Actually according to the Cubs website, it's $40-260. The lower end is a nice deal, although at the bottom of the page it says that taxes and ticket fees are not included. I just threw the cheapest set of tickets into the cart to see how much the fees add, it jumps to $63.48, plus another $4.00 in order processing fees. So that $40 package of tickets is $67.48 (and you still have to pay for parking or the train).
Re: Omening Day?
i do wish they'd stop calling them convenience fees.
Re: Omening Day?
Their math doesn't make sense.
It claims the taxes are: 12% city of Chicago and amusement tax (unless these are 2 different taxes, each at 12%?), which should be $4.80
and 9% cook county sales tax - $3.60
plus $4.00 ticket delivery fee. That's 12.80 in fees, not the $27.48 they're charging.
So the "convenience fee" is almost $15.00?
Someone is stealing even more money from fans.

...and the no hitter is over in the 7th...2 on, 0 out.
Miley thru six: no hits, no walks, 8 K's - one batter (Bryant) reached on a error by Seager (hard hit but clearly an error). At 71 pitches
It's the law of baseball -- if you score 10+ runs in a game, you must struggle to score in the next game. Particulalry against an inferior pitcher.
Looking for Bryant to break up another no-no with a long fly ball in the sixth.
But any hit will do.
this game is f'n flying by.
also, "Hernandez (5-4, 3.45) versus Hendricks (9-7, 2.39), ruined by ESPN tomorrow at 7:08pmCST." gets 1000 upvotes and a gold star.
His control is still off with a lot of overthrowing of his fastball. Mariners haven't been able to take advantage of it so far but it still doesn't seen like he's had a start this year where his mechanics have been great start to finish.
Why is that disconcerting, OB?
He was a big key to the crazy start, a big key to the end of last year, a big key in not beating the Mets (although lots of help from a tired inexperienced team there), so although the team as a whole can get through a series with a good Jake it will be tough with a bad Jake. I don't think it's realistic to have the insanely great Jake again, but maybe it is. Seeing today's box score it appears maybe it is - but I haven't been able to tune in yet.
IMO Jake is really the key to winning the World Series, but maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on one player.
The reports that they offered EITHER Jimenez or Torres for Chapman are a little disconcerting. I hope 1) Those reports are wrong, and 2) if they are not wrong, that they will hold on to him, as the team could use the outfield depth. I have only seen him in the futures game, but he looks like a keeper.
Very nice. I saw him in Lansing in May. I'm still stunned that he hit a 400-foot foul ball onto Larch Street ... which is going the other way for a right-handed batter. It was perhaps the most amazing swing I've ever seen a minor league player take. I should also mention that it was about 40 degrees out at the time. Not that it's evidence of anything per se, but I feel his plate approach is way more advanced than Soler was at this stage in his development and that the comparisons aren't really fair to Jimenez. 50/50 chance I'll go to Midland tonight for the low-A debut of Oscar de la Cruz.
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Finished the night 4-5, with two doubles - 32(!) on the season - along with the grand slam. Sick
Meanwhile, out West:
SF is 2-11 since the break, lead over LA is down to one game, and they are running out Cain and Peavy this weekend against the Nats. Challenging times by the Bay.
Thanks for the updates Phil. Too bad about Frazier.
The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)

Customer review by clsmith019
I liked this product. Although I only used it when washing bed clothes & blankets for the most part. due to how fragrant the product is. I like having that fresh, clean scent smell, but this one almost seemed too fragrant. but that could be due to the fact that I am not accustomed to using these products. I added about a half to 3/4 a cap full to the load of bed linens I washed and the scent lasted longer than I expected it to. You could still smell it a week and a half to 2 weeks later. I love how this product makes the blankets smell but I do not think I could use it on clothing I wear due to the intensity of the fragrance.
Customer review by luddog
Suavitel Fragrance Pearls with Field Flowers has 5 times longer lasting fragrance. Small blue pellets that dissolve in the wash, similar to split peas or lentils which dissolve with out spotting add extra scent that lasts for weeks. I do not know how long the scent lasts since, I received this product from Walmart's Spark Reviewer and have a time limit to respond with review. Clothes do have a pleasant scent and do not leave spots on the clothes. I love scents on the clothes that last! I will use selectively on certain loads. Products like this make laundry special. I have used the Suavitel laundry soap and fabric softener and loved it! Consequently, if you want to feel special just try it!

Gazprom Head to Push for South Stream Deal in Bulgaria
Alexey Miller, CEO of Russian energy giant Gazprom, is to arrive in Bulgaria on Wednesday, hoping to wrap up the negotiations on the South Stream gas pipeline project.
The Balkan country is still hoping to get a bigger gas price reduction under its next contract with Gazprom in exchange for signing the South Stream agreement, Btv has reminded.
Miller has already stated that the signing of the final investment decision on South Stream on the part of Bulgaria and the gas price discount under the next contract between Gazprom and Bulgargaz are unrelated.
The South Stream pipeline is to carry up to 63 billion cubic meters of natural gas to central and southern Europe, diversifying Russian gas routes away from transit countries such as Ukraine.
According to preliminary calculations, the construction of the South Stream gas pipeline is to cost EUR 16 B.
The construction works are to be wrapped up in 2015 and the first commercial deliveries of gas are slated for the first quarter of 2016.
The Russia-backed gas pipeline is to reach full capacity in 2018.

- Rahul hits out at Modi, Badal for 'aiding' drugs trade in Punjab
Jalandhar: Targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chief minister Parkash Singh Badal on Monday, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi said that when the two spoke about ease of doing business in Punjab, they meant comfort of doing illicit business of drugs as it was protected by the Akalis. Rahul was here to participate in sit-in organized by the Congress to protest against the "flourishing drug trade in the state". Launching a direct attack on Punjab deputy CM Sukhbir Badal, Rahul alleged that he was still not ready to accept the truth about narcotics abuse in Punjab as the Akali Dal and its leadership were daily getting benefits of the drug trade. "I came to Punjab four years back and raised the issue of drugs. Then Sukhbir Badal ridiculed me saying that I had insulted Punjab. But today movie 'Udta Punjab' is being banned. Today, also he is not ready to accept the truth because it benefits them. Drugs and law and order problems in Punjab are benefitting Akali Dal. Truth is that future of Punjab has been finished," Rahul said. The event held in front of district administration complex here became an occasion of show of strength for the Congress leaders and they brought thousands of party supporters to the dharna site. Not all of them could find space to sit. Recalling his "fight for farmers" of Bhatta Parsaul in Uttar Pradesh, the Congress VP announced that he would fight against drugs for the sake of Punjab like he did there. He claimed that even the media had ridiculed him when he took up the issue of UP farmers but that it was due to his agitation that the new Land Acquisition Bill was brought in to protect the peasants' interests. Rahul declared that he would also fight for higher minimum support price (MSP) for agriculture produce. He raised the issue of MSP after the state Congress VP Sunil Jakhar apprised him of the low MSP for maize and no procurement of it by the state government. Referring to Punjab Congress president Captain Amarinder Singh's claim that after coming to power, the party would end the problem of drugs in a month, Rahul said it could be done by sidelining corrupt police officials and replacing them with good officers. "Punjab Police have several good officers and the force has a track record of fighting against terrorism. Now, they can fight against this menace. But the good officers are posted on inconsequential posts and bad cops have plum posts and are helping the drug trade. Punjab Police and SAD have been clubbed together by the state government. Once they will be separated the menace will be finished," he said. "Punjab has been finished and it can't move forward unless its youths are unshackled and their potential is unleashed," he added. Addressing the gathering, Amarinder mentioned issues of murder of Namdhari matriarch, attack on Sikh preacher Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale, Bargari sacrilege incident, firing at Behbal Kalan, suicides by farmers, death of a Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) lineman after being attacked by a BJP leader of Jalandhar and police dithering in registering a case against him.

LUDHIANA: Aam Aadmi Party's senior leader Gurpreet Singh Ghuggi slammed SAD and BJP for playing politics of divide and rule by creating hatred among the different communities for their nefarious political motives and claimed that the strong traditional bonds of communal harmony and amity among the different communities shall never allowed to be affected by AAP in society. Addressing a political rally at Dana Mandi Salem Tabri in Ludhiana East constituency on Tuesday night, Ghuggi accused the BJP and SAD of doing politics of religion to create their vote bank among particular communities even at the cost of prevailing strong social fabric in the society. He also lamented Badal govt. for totally damaging the state through corruption and drug trade and said that thousands of youth had lost their lives because of drugs and Badals were shamelessly denying even any drug problem in Punjab. He slammed the Badals for making rampant corruption and patronizing different kinds of Mafias, including of drug mafia , land mafia, transport, sand and gravel, cable mafia, recruitment etc. Ghuggi making a scathing attack on Congress said that people still remember the huge scams of lakhs of crores committed during the tnure of congress Govt. at center and Captain. Amarinder Singh's family was facing enquiries and court trials on charges of corruption and foreign illegal transactions . Addressing the function State president of Trade, Transport and Industry Wing Aman Arora accused Badal Govt. for completing damaging the trade and industry in Punjab during the past 9 years with their wrong policies. He said that Badals and Amrinder were misleading the people by spreading false propaganda against the AAP leaders and claimed that the people of Punjab were anxiously waiting to teach them a befitting lesson in the coming elections. He cautioned the people fromthe nefarious designs of Badal and Amrinder of alluring them through various tricks and means keeping in mind the nearing of elections. He appealed them to extend full support to AAP's movement to change the corrupt political and governing system in Punjab. Speaking on this occasion Councilor Daljit Singh Grewal said that Badal Govt had created a complete mess in the state by indulging in rampant corruption and spreading drugs in all parts of Punjab. He said that each and every section of society was fed up from the SAD Govt. which rendered the youth jobless and forced the farmers to commit suicides. He called upon the people to extend their full support to AAP , which had launched a tirade against the corrupt system under the leadership of its national Convener and Delhi C M Arvind Kejriwal. On this occasion 10 women BJP activists joined AAP in Presence of State Observer Kapil Bharadwaj.

Rancho Cucamonga, CA - Bobby Coyle doubled home Casio Grider with the game-winning run in the bottom of the tenth inning, sending the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes to a 4-3 come-from-behind win over the Lancaster JetHawks, in front of another sellout crowd at LoanMart Field.
Over 5,400 fans turned out on Saturday evening, as the Quakes snapped their brief two-game skid, and thanks to a Lake Elsinore win over High Desert, moved their wild card lead to a game and a half over the High Desert Mavericks with just two games to play in the regular season.
Casio Grider bunted his way aboard to start a two-out rally in the tenth, his third hit of the game. With two down and a 3-2 count on Coyle, Grider took off for second, while Coyle took Lancaster reliever Michael Dimock (4-1) into the gap in right-center field, sending Grider home to end the game.
The JetHawks built a 3-0 lead against Quakes' starter Matt Shelton, who pitched well in just his second career start. Shelton, who struck out a career-best eight hitters, allowed three runs over a career-high 5 2/3 innings.
Rancho began their rally in the fourth, as they capitalized on a Delino Deshields error to get on the board at 3-1.
Darnell Sweeney brought home the Quakes' second run in the sixth, as his two-out RBI hit brought home Grider to make it a one-run game at 3-2 against Lancaster starter Colton Cain.
Scott Wingo tied the game in the eighth, as his solo-shot off Gera Sanchez eventually forced extra innings, his fourth of the year.
Eric Eadington (5-5) allowed just one hit over two scoreless frames to notch the win in relief.
Matt Kemp, who played in his third straight game as part of a rehab assignment, finished 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and is now 0-for-11 over a three-game stretch. Kemp is scheduled to continue his rehab stint tomorrow at LoanMart Field, as the Quakes could potentially secure a spot in the 2013 post-season.
The Quakes (33-35, 64-74) send Lindsey Caughel (4-7) to the bump on Sunday at 5:05pm, as he takes on Lancaster's Vincent Velasquez (0-2). A Rancho Cucamonga win and just one High Desert loss in the Mavs' double-header on Sunday and the Quakes would wrap up the final South Division Wild Card playoff spot.
Coming up on Sunday, the Quakes will host Fan Appreciation Day, as we'll be giving away flat-screen TVs, Nintendo Wiis and other great prizes throughout the game. Tickets are available for Sunday's action by calling (909) 481-5000 or online at rcquakes.com. We hope to see you very soon at LoanMart Field. Go Quakes!

- //Grimes
Claire Boucher, as Grimes, may be the most hyped indie act of the year. Her mercurial blend of dance-floor rhythms, Top 40 pop sensibilities, and outright weirdness makes for a captivating, unique persona—and one that the blogosphere has latched onto like a barnacle on the bow of a ship. Fortunately for Grimes, she has the chops to sustain the hype. Her recent show at D.C.'s 500-capacity U Street Music Hall sold out months in advance, and it was a great opportunity to see how her live show has evolved along with her place in the spotlight.
At early shows, like her breakthrough set at 2011's SXSW, Boucher seemed confident but shy, engaging but not quite sure what to do in a live setting. After all, she's the solo proprietor of Grimes, and until recently her set involved her simply splitting her time between a few keyboard and synth rigs onstage. Now, Grimes comes equipped with backup dancers who double as auxiliary musicians and cheerleaders, bouncing around the stage while Boucher herself spends less time programming and more time singing and dancing.
It's a good decision. Boucher is an extravagantly talented musician, and her early sets showed—if nothing else—her virtuoso talents on the keys. But it didn't always make for an engaging set if you weren't immediately at the stage. Now, she's figured it out, and her physical presence and sheer ebullience when dropping the beat on "Oblivion" ups her live game to a whole new level. The crowd responded in turn, bouncing and shaking and generally transforming into a single entity of flailing limbs and sweat. Grimes has serious momentum at her back, and she's running with it. Here's to seeing where she takes things now.

This invention relates to an improved drag shoe for use on street sweepers. Such sweepers generally comprise a tractor-like vehicle beneath which is mounted a horizontally axised, rotary sweeper brush. As the brush rotates while the vehicle is driven along a street, debris is swept from the ground into a hopper on the vehicle, from which the debris is periodically unloaded. Conventionally, such sweepers also include vertically axised rotary gutter brooms or brushes to sweep debris, located adjacent the curb of a street, into the path of the horizontally axised brush.
As the horizontally axised brush rotates, debris near the outer edges of the brush tend to move sidewise of the vehicle rather than be swept up into the hopper. To prevent this generally sidewise drift of debris from the brush edges, it is conventional to mount a drag shoe at each of the opposite ends of the brush. These shoes function as walls or barriers, to contain and to guide the debris against sidewise movement relative to the brush.
Conventional drag shoes include a ground-engaging edge portion which is shaped like an elongated ski and moves longitudinally or endwise along the ground. An upwardly extending plate secured to the shoe and to the vehicle, cooperates with the shoe to form a barrier for debris.
One conventional form of drag shoe is made of an elongated strip of rubber-like material which is approximately rectangular in cross-section and has one of its narrow edges forming a bottom, ground-engaging surface. The upper edge portion is secured within a channel which, in turn, in secured to the support plate which connects the drag shoe to the vehicle.
Naturally, the lower ground-engaging edge of a drag shoe tends to wear away rapidly due to the friction between the ground-engaging surface and the ground. Thus, various attempts have been made to reduce the wear, but nevertheless, such shoes have relatively short lives. This is particularly true where the shoes are made of the resilient, softer rubber-like materials.
The invention herein is concerned with an improvement to sweeper drag shoes which materially increases the life of each shoe with a relatively nominal increase in cost.
This invention contemplates embedding within the lower edge of an elongated skid shoe pegs or pins made of metal tubes filled with a matrix formed of closely packed irregularly shaped particles of hard, metal carbides embedded within a binder of soft, heat conductive metal such as copper. These pins, which are arranged generally perpendicular to the ground-engaging edge of the shoe, have their bottom ends exposed at and approximately flush with the shoe bottom edge.
The pins are mounted within the shoes by forcibly driving them into pre-formed holes whose cross-sectional dimensions are considerably smaller than that of the pins. Preferably the exterior surfaces of the tubes that form the pins are provided with surface irregularities, such as knurling or threading so that there is a mechanical and frictional interlock between the resilient rubber-like material forming the shoe due to the elastic displacement of the material during the forcible entry of the pins within their receiving sockets or holes and the resilient recovery of the material defining the hole. Moreover, the resilient material around the hole exerts a uniform, radially inwardly directed and circumferential compression upon each pin which tends to materially strengthen and protect the pins against damage because of impacts, frictional drag and the like.
Although it is contemplated to use a minimal number of such pins, spaced widely apart, along the length of the drag shoe, it has been found that a few of these pins very substantially increase the life of the shoes while not affecting the shoe function. Further, it has been found that the pin matrix seems to provide for a reduction of friction between the lower edge of the shoe and the ground. Although it would appear that the irregular, hard carbide particles would tend to provide additional frictional drag against the ground, it has been found that the matrix, as a whole, actually appears to reduce friction, possibly because of the embedding of the hard carbide particles within the soft, somewhat yieldable or resilient, copper or copper bearing binder. The copper material dissipates heat caused by friction which appears to have a positive effect in minimizing wear and damage to the ground-engaging edge of the shoe. Thus, there has been a surprising increase in wear resistance and reduction of friction.
A major object of this invention is to provide a mean for substantially increasing the life of the drag shoes, but at minimal expense and labor. The pins of this application are inserted within the drag shoes merely by manually drilling holes, spaced considerable distances apart, as for example one foot apart on a shoe of several feet in length, and then hammering a pin into each hole. The amount of time required is minimal and no skilled labor is needed. Consequently, for the minimal expense of the cost of the pins and the small amount of labor, the shoe life is substantially increased which likewise, means that the down-time of the sweeper for shoe repair and maintenance is materially reduced.
These and other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent upon reading the following description, of which the attached drawings form a part.
FIG. 1 is a perspective, schematic view, of a typical street sweeper vehicle with a sweeper drag shoe positioned at the side of the vehicle, next to one end of the horizontally axised rotatable sweeper brush.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a typical drag shoe assembly.

FIG. 4 is a fragmentary, perspective, cross-sectional view of a portion of the drag shoe and support structure.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged, fragmentary, cross-sectional view of a pin mounted within the drag shoe.
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional, fragmentary view, showing the insertion of a pin within a pre-formed hole in the shoe.
FIG. 7 shows a pin with knurling forming surface irregularities.
FIG. 8 shows an alternative form of pin with threads formed upon its tube outer wall.
FIG. 9 is an enlarged, cross-sectional, fragmentary view of a portion of the threaded pin of FIG. 8 engaged within the hole formed in a drag shoe.
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a conventional street sweeper vehicle 10 which basically is a driver operated tractor. The vehicle includes an engine so that is self-propelled, and rolls upon conventional wheels. The construction of the vehicle forms no part of this invention and therefore is referred to here only generally and schematically.
The vehicle includes a horizontally axised rotary sweeper brush 11 which is mounted beneath the vehicle by a link-type mechanism 12 which raises and lower the brush into ground-engaging contact. In addition, such vehicles conventionally include rotary, generally vertically axised, gutter brooms or brushes 13 mounted upon the lower end of a rotating mechanism 14.
In operation of the vehicle as it is driven down a street, first, the gutter broom sweeps debris adjacent the curbs, into the path of the horizontally axised sweeper brush. The sweeper brush, in turn, sweeps debrris from the street into a hopper located at the front of the vehicle. Periodically, the hopper is emptied.
Relevant to this invention, such vehicles include a drag shoe assembly 15 located on each of the opposite ends of the sweeper brush 11. The assembly is formed of a metal channel 16 secured to a support or sideplate 17 which is provided with an opening 18 at its upper end for securement to the same linkage system which raises and lowers the sweeper brush. The plate may also have another hole 19 for securement to a separate linkage 20 which adjusts the angle of the drag shoe relative to the ground.
A blade or strip 21 forms the actual drag shoe. This strip is made of a rubber-like, i.e., an elastomeric, material. The material out of which the shoe is made varies, depending upon the desired hardness, resiliency, size and shape and the commercial availability and price of the material. Thus, commercially there are various shoe materials used. However, in general, these materials are rubber-like, relatively stiff and self-sustaining in shape, will resiliently yield under pressure and will resiliently recover.
The shoe forming strip is generally formed with a narrow, elongated upper edge mounting portion 25, which fits within the channel 16. For securement to the channel, holes 26 are formed in the strip and aligned with holes 27 formed in the channel so that bolts or the like mechanical fasteners 28 may be inserted through the holes for fastening the strip to the channel.
The lower, lengthwise portion of the strip, which is preferably made somewhat wider than the upper portion (see FIG. 4) forms the lower drag section 30 whose bottom 31 provides a ground-engaging edge surface that rides along the street in contact therewith.
The construction disclosed above, to this point, is a commercially used and known device. The improvement relates to the pins and the manner of mounting and using such pins.
Holes 34 are formed in the bottom edge 31 of the strip to receive drag shoe pins or pegs 35. These pins are made of tubes 36 which are filled with a matrix 37 of closely packed particles 38 formed of hard metal carbides, embedded with a soft, heat conductive binder 39.
Preferably, the tubes are formed of thin wall mild or low carbon steel. By way of example, a tube may be approximately 1/2 inch in outer diameter and about 2 inches in length for use with a drag shoe skid that may be on the order of two or more feet in length and roughly 4 inches in height and about 1-1/4 inches in width. The actual sizes can be varied considerably depending upon the particular size and shape drag shoe required for a specific vehicle. In this instance, the steel tube has a thin wall, such as on the order of 0.049 inches thick, which is roughly 3/64ths of an inch in wall thickness.
The matrix, as mentioned, is formed of a hard metal carbide, as for example, cemented tungsten carbide with a 6-13% cobalt content. However, other carbides can be used likewise, such as titanium, tantalum, cast tungsten carbide W2 C, and the like. While the carbide particles may vary considerably in size, and are irregular in size and shape, it has been found that a 12/35 mesh size is in the approximate range of providing good performance. However, the mesh size is not critical and can be varied considerably, such as between about -6 to +40 mesh.
The binder is preferably made of commercially pure copper for good heat dissipation results. However, other copper containing binders may be used, such as bronze of the typical brazing compounds or muntz metal and the like. These copper or copper containing metals are relatively soft, somewhat resilient and dissipate heat well. Other binders, that is, non-cuprous materials can be used, but these have been found to be most satisfactory for this purpose. The wall is bonded together with the matrix due to the binder.
Preferably, the outer wall surface of the pin tubes are formed with surface irregularities, such as relatively deep knurling 41 (see FIG. 7). Alternatively, a threaded pin 45 may be formed with threads 46 that are roll formed in the conventional manner. Thread-like or barb-like corrugations may also be used in the same manner as the threads shown.
In operation, the drag shoe is first, turned upside down, as shown in FIG. 6, and holes 34 are drilled in its bottom surface. These holes may be widely spaced apart since only a few pins are needed for the strip. The holes, could be molded or otherwise pre-formed in the strip, but drilling appears to be the swiftest and most effective way of providing the needed sockets for the pins.
The holes are of a cross-sectional size which is considerably smaller than the cross-sectional size of the pins which they receive. For example, a drill hole of about 7/16ths of an inch is used to receive a 1/2 inch diameter tube.
Next, the pins are forcibly inserted into the holes, usually by pounding them in with a hammer, as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 6. The forcible insertion causes a resilient displacement of the material surrounding or defining the hole. However, when the pin is in place, with its exposed end approximately flush with the ground-engaging surface of the shoe, the rubber-like material resiliently recovers and mechanically interlocks with the surface irregularities of the tube, as well as frictionally locks to the tube wall. FIG. 9 shows the mechanical and frictional interlock between the rolled threads of the tube wall and the adjacent rubber-like material of the shoe.
The resilient shoe material also tends to compress the pins radially inwardly and circumferentially so as to exert a substantial compressive load thereon. It has been found that this compression force tends to keep the particles and the binder under sufficient compression to avoid craking or breaking due to road impacts and drag upon the road. Moreover, the resiliency of the shoe material holding the pin in place, permits some resilient displacement of the pin and hence, serves to absorb impacts. The soft, somewhat resilient binder of the matrix permits some resilient displacement of the hard particles. Consequently, the combined effect is to protect the pin and the matrix against premature breakage or disintegration, to maintain a solid or integral appearing matrix end which rubs against the ground and, finally, to protect the ground-engaging surface of the shoe, resulting in an unusually, unexpected high increase in wear life.
