Ross falls behind on Sooner RB depth chart
What's going on with Alex Ross? As expected, Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine will be in the backfield when the Sooners take the field Saturday against Akron, but the situation with Ross is curious.

NORMAN, Okla. - There's no running back on campus with any sort of real track record. There's little-to-no experience and there's not a single back who has a true, established resume.

A table of contents featuring our coverage from the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con.
A report from Comic-Con 2016 on the various ways to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Star Trek."
On paper, it sounds like a lot is going on in "Europa Report," a mash-up of found-footage faux documentary and sci-fi meditation. But it also has the traditional structure of a horror movie, with characters getting taken out one by one, by the dangers lurking in the dark expanses of space.
The beauty of Ecuadorian director Sebastian Cordero's film is the simplicity of its approach. The found-footage conceit has emerged as a favorite over the past several years (see also the current "Frankenstein's Army") but the application often seems erratic and selective. Working from Philip Gelatt's script, Cordero keeps things consistent, elegant and streamlined. "Europa Report" actually may be understated to a fault, but that's preferable to gratuitous melodrama.
The fictional story has its origins in real-life events: It's based on the November 2011 discovery of water beneath the ice of Jupiter's moon Europa. A strong ensemble cast of international actors co-star as the six astronauts in an privately funded mission to confirm the presence of water and—more importantly—explore the ocean life that may exist within it.
We know from the start, though, that their voyage was doomed: The crew lost contact with Earth after about nine months. The film represents the accumulation of all those lost months of footage, captured from every sterile corner and corridor, edited together with commentary from a resigned and mournful commander on the ground played solemnly by Embeth Davidtz.
Among the other inspired casting choices are comedian Dan Fogler and Isiah Whitlock Jr. of "The Wire" and "Cedar Rapids" as scientists describing the purpose of the mission and establishing the premise for laypeople. But we spend most of our time with the eclectic team soaring amid the stars; for the most part, they're all business, but they're fleshed out enough to feel living, breathing, discernible.
Daniel Wu plays the mission chief who must make life-or-death decisions in seconds. Anamaria Marinca, as the pilot, exudes calm wisdom as she sits alongside him. "District 9" star Sharlto Copley injects the few bits of humor that exist here as the American chief science officer. There's also Michael Nyqvist, star of the original Swedish "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" and its sequels, as the ship's veteran engineer. The Audrey Hepburn-esque Karolina Wydra plays the crew's marine biologist. Finally, Christian Camargo rounds out the team as a fellow scientist (and the least-developed character).
Although it's edited in non-chronological order, "Europa Report" still reflects the optimism of the mission's beginning, the no-nonsense way the astronauts react to their loss of communication, and eventually the deteriorating situation that traps them. The perils that emerge create a great deal of tension, but despite the horror film flavor, this is not a graphically violent film. When characters die, it's never gory. The peaceful calm of letting go feels poignant rather than frightening.
With its crisp, minimalist visuals (the work of "127 Hours" cinematographer Enrique Chediak and Oscar-winning production designer Eugenio Caballero), "Europa Report" knows who its cultural forebears are, and knows that you know them too. A snippet of Strauss's "The Blue Danube," used so famously in Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey," plays at a key moment, but it's just a taste—enough to bring a knowing smile to your face, mercifully not so much as to constitute full-on parody.
"Europa Report" also evokes "Moon," Duncan Jones's excellent debut feature, in that it accomplishes a lot with a little; on limited resources, it suggests both the claustrophobia of tight, lived-in spaces and the infinity beyond. What it lacks is the emotional wallop of Jones' film. But while the climax feels a bit, well, anticlimactic, at least it's consistent with movie's thoughtful, restrained tone.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Menomonee Falls - A 17-year-old girl was arrested for drunken driving after police found her sleeping behind the steering wheel of her car parked in a lane of traffic on Main Street on June 6.
According to the police report:
At 12:40 a.m. June 6, Menomonee Falls police received an anonymous complaint of a vehicle parked in a lane of traffic on Main Street at Leon Road. Officers located the car parked in the eastbound lane of Main Street with its engine running and lights off. The driver, a 17-year-old Pewaukee girl, had her seat belt on and was sleeping in the front driver's seat with no pants on.
When the driver awoke she vomited. Police contacted emergency medical services but it was determined there was no medical emergency. The girl was given a field sobriety test, which she failed. Her preliminary blood alcohol content was 0.17.
Officers searching her vehicle located a full can of beer on the driver's floorboard. The suspect stated she had been drinking at a residence with her ex-boyfriend and others, but could not give an exact location to police.
She was arrested for drunken driving and underage driver transporting intoxicants in a motor vehicle.

Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real forums either living or dead is purely coincidental. The modding procedures explained here are for entertainment purposes only and not to be taken as actual moderating advice.
Tim Russert moderates JERRY'S ANIME NUT HOUSE FOR OTAKUS in his spare time. The only difference between you and him is that he makes this look good.If you've ever seen the hit motion picture Men In Black then you know precisely how moderating an Internet forum works.
You are selected by a secret organization and put through a series of tests, if passed, makes you an elite member of said secret organization. From there you'll deport illegal "aliens" from message boards and send them back where they came from, Mexico (Is that what Men In Black was about? It's been so long since I've seen it).
Of course your job isn't exactly secret and you mainly do it to act like a big man online, but it's kind of similar to Men in Black if you really think about it.
Any man can be a moderator, not every moderator truly lives. So if you've just installed a copy of vbulletin to complement your web site dedicated to cataloging the sexiest anime panty shots and find yourself competing with trolls, flamers, and spammers just to get a word in edgewise, read this guide. You'll thank me on your legally binding government recognized same sex wedding day.
You're Not Just A Moderator, You're an Expert
You weren't selected as a moderator because you're unemployed and home all day but because you're among the best and brightest in your field. Moderators don't just moderate, they educate. Mods are usually college graduates, trained in a specific area of study. Want to be a moderator? Stay in school, kid.
Professor John Hubert from Stanford University moderates the Dragon Ball Z forum at Gaia Online. He tells us, "I rely on my PhD in Super Sayan studies to give the best possible answer to any question that may come up. Who would win in a fight, Trunks or Vegeta? Most people would say Vegeta, but I can run complex algorithms that say Trunks would win within a .01% margin of error."
As moderator your advice is the final word. Take for example this exchange from a forum promoting incest.
Poster #1: Hey my sister is really hot and I want to fuck her pussy but she's pretty much a slut and sleeps with every guy. That turns me on that my sister is fucking all of my friends while I watch and jerk off in her closest while smelling the crotch of her underwear but I don't want to get a disease or anything like that. Anything I can do to protect myself from my sister's festering cunt?
MODERATOR: Yes, you should use a condom, preferably one with spermicidal lubricant so you don't get her pregnant. That should do it. Let me just go ahead and close this thread up...
Poster #2: That's horrible advice! While condoms with spermicidal lubricant may be more effective against the risk of pregnancy they are actually less effective against the risk of STDs. You should really just use a regular condom when you have sex with your sister, Poster #1.
MODERATOR: Please do not post in a thread that is about to be closed. Just because it's not closed yet doesn't mean I did not intend for it to be closed. I think I made myself clear in my previous post.
As you can see, the user not only broke the rules by talking back to a moderator on duty, a capital offense, but broke an unwritten rule that the moderator just made up on the spot as well. Not only can you ban the user for one infraction, but you can also ban them for the other when they re-register. How do you keep track of all these bannings? That brings us to our next lesson.
It's just a little confusing, is all.
The good news is the republican convention is over. The bad news is if I can escape this police car how do I anull a marriage??
Title of this one pretty much says it all. If it's what you're looking for, then uh, look no further

Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy - Xbox 360
So you've read the books, watched the movie and now it's time to play the video game, but is this yet another movie tie-in (groan) or something you should look into?
Coming a little under a year after the last Bourne outing, the first thing to say about The Bourne Conspiracy is that you can tell it has not been rushed out to meet a cinema release date.
With that in mind you get a tough but short-lived game that is loosely based on the first film - The Bourne Identity released in 2002, which fans will know was loosely based on the Robert Ludlum book published in 1980.
The events therefore surround the film, but not completely follow them scene by scene instead taking key elements to bring you a video game that actually works rather than being a series of cutscenes connected by formulaic action that we so often see.
The game starts before the film and you've got to take out the usual array of bad guys as you learn your identity while dipping in and out of the Bourne Identity storyline.
Starting with a bang and not really easing up throughout the game, missions flow through the levels with cutscenes taking a back seat to the action. That's not to say cutscenes aren't used, but they are so well integrated into the mix that by the time you notice that you've switched into one your back out the other end trying to stay alive.
As with the films, the focus is on Bourne being the weapon rather than an arsenal of weapons and this means that you will only ever be able to carry two weapons at any time, but that you're ammo is restricted, for example, a maximum of 45 rounds for the pistol.
Instead, it is all about fists and feet as you punch and kick your way through the enemy and you'll be tested right from the beginning. No sooner have you started than you are in your first boss fight, aping the fight sequence in with Desh in The Bourne Ultimatum, in Morocco.
The fighting mechanism (which does require you to block to have any chance) relies on you performing a series of attacks to gain adrenaline; gain enough and you can do a takedown move which renders your opponent out of action. The bosses requiring a series of takedowns to actually defeat them and the takedowns are beautifully choreographed just like the movies.
As the game progresses you get behind the wheel to complete the Paris car chase although this isn't till much later in the game – it's fighting not driving that is core here.
There are three difficult levels to master: Trainee, Agent and Assassin, with the Agent giving the average gamer (i.e., us) a fairly decent challenge. You can swap between the difficulty settings as you wish, rather than having to stick all the way through - great if you get stuck on a harder level.
As for graphics and audio, it's usual Xbox 360 fare – i.e., good with scenery and landscapes looking the part, however due to creative differences (supposedly) you won't have to look at Matt Damon's face. You will though get to hear other actors connected with the films.
While there are some dodgy camera angles occasionally, if you are a fan of the movies this will let you relive the action.
The focus on Bourne and his hand-to-hand combat rather than just another guns-blazing shooter is what makes this game. The only catch is that it's a touch on the short side.
For once a movie tie-in that is worth taking a closer look at.

New Volkswagen Cars
Volkswagen Canada
Volkswagen sells a wide range of upscale passenger cars and utility vehicles, and is the most affordable German brand available in North America. Volkswagen is recognized for the high level of driving pleasure in their vehicles as well as the largest diesel powertrain offering in North America.
Founded before WWII in 1937, its name translates from German to English as "people's car" and its first automobile was just that – a car for the people.
The distinctive, round-shaped car had an air-cooled four-cylinder boxer engine that delivered 25 hp to the rear wheels, and enough space for four passengers and their luggage. Volkswagen's Type 1 would become known more affectionately as the VW Beetle. The basic design remained relatively unchanged for over five decades with only minor changes and mechanical updates, until production finally ended in July 2003. Over 21 million original Beetles were produced.
VW expanded little during the '50s and '60s with the exception of the Type 2 panel van, produced in many variations including microbus, flatbed pickup and camper van, as well as the Type 3 sports coupe and convertible. VW vehicles starting to arrive in the U.S. in 1949, and in Canada in 1952.
The 1970s saw the introduction of the Passat (Dasher in North America), the Scirocco coupe, the subcompact Golf hatchback (Rabbit in North America) and Jetta sedan. The Golf GTI was crated in 1976 and offered in 1983 in the U.S. and Canada as the Rabbit GTI. The Vanagon replaced the Type 2 in 1979. Diesel powertrains were starting to appear in VW models at the end of the '70s.
A Cabriolet version of the Golf/Rabbit was also available from 1980, while in 1981, the Quantum mid-size sedan and wagon arrived in North America, offering a four-wheel drive powertrain from 1984. The 2- and 4-door Jetta reached the U.S. and Canada in 1982. In 1985, the Rabbit name was dropped, and both the Golf and Jetta were redesigned. GTI and GLI versions are offered.
In 1990, the third-generation Passat was introduced in replacement of the Quantum, and the EuroVan replaced the Vanagon. The Corrado and its supercharged engine arrived in the U.S. and Canada in 1990, replacing the Scirocco, and a new platform led to the fully modern New Beetle being launched in 1998.
A Cabriolet version of the New Beetle was launched in 2003, replacing the droptop Golf, while the mid-size 2004 Touareg was Volkswagen's first SUV. In 2007 appeared the Eos and its power-folding hardtop convertible. The full-size Phaeton sedan was launched in Europe in 2002, but offered in North America from 2004 to 2006.
In Canada, two affordable models were offered: the City Golf from 2007 to 2010 and the City Jetta from 2007 to 2009. Meanwhile, the Rabbit name returned to the U.S. and Canada for a few years, but VW ultimately restored the Golf from 2010 on.
Today, Volkswagen's North American line-up consists of the compact Golf in 3-door, 5-door and wagon body styles, the Jetta sedan, the performance-oriented GTI and GLI models, the mid-size Passat, the CC four-door coupe, the Eos coupe/convertible, the Beetle, the compact Tiguan crossover, the Touareg SUV and Touareg Hybrid as well as the Routan minivan.

The members of the 4th Stryker Brigade, second infantry division say they're proud of the work they did in Afghanistan, where they were tasked with helping the nation set up its independence.
Wednesday's homecoming included a number of babies born during deployment. It was the first time Christian Stewart laid eyes an his 6-month-old son.
Holding her 3-month-old son John, Danette Tillou had a hard time scanning the sea of camouflage to spot her husband, specialist Brady Tillou.
Brady saw his son on Skype after the boy was born on April 5, but Wednesday was the first time he had ever held the boy. The couple has a lot to celebrate. In addition to their new child, their one year anniversary just passed on July 6.
Adriena Fuentes made it clear how long she's been waiting for her boyfriend, private first class Jess Davielle.
"I've waited 258 days for this kiss," she said.
Jesse's family drove 15 hours to take part in Wednesday's homecoming.
And the icing on the cake for the returning soldiers is that they've got a pass for the entire weekend and don't' have to be back to work until Monday.

Cruise ship returns to Florida after child falls
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – A cruise ship headed to the Bahamas had to return to port in central Florida after a young child was injured in a fall aboard ship.
Royal Caribbean officials say the 14-month-old from India fell Friday aboard the Monarch of the Seas. The ship left Port Canaveral that day for a Bahamas cruise.
Cruise line officials say the child initially received medical treatment on board the ship but needed to be hospitalized. The ship turned around and returned to Florida, where the child was taken to a hospital.
No additional information about the child's injuries was released.
Royal Caribbean officials say Monarch of the Seas is sailing a three-night itinerary to CocoCay and Nassau, Bahamas.

We were visiting family in Rockville for one night. The front desk is very helpful and the quality and space of the rooms were great. Breakfast could have been slightly better, the scrambled eggs and turkey sausage were fair at best. However the overall quality of the stay was great. There is even a little lake area with restaurants within 5 minutes walking.

ATEA is in the process of forming a "flagpole and pennant" formation. This will take time to fully unfold.
Check out sckt (Socket Corp)
up over 20% in a week and almost 300% since
when a person only relies on news and earnings it sort of like rowing a boat with only one oar!! charts show where resistance (place where people sell) show support (where people buy) and gaps which are suppose to eventually fill-(astea has a couple one in the 20's). the formations show trends which can indicate direction. the news on erickson-please tell me how much that adds to earnings since neither analyst has up'd their huge .04 for 98!
Hostile Message!
Somebody needs Decaf.
The fact is charts ARE helpful because it illustrates the general volatility of a stock, and if a stock is currently in a peak or a valley. I.E. if a stock is a flatline or a Mt. Everest.
And then of course charts alone surely shouldn't be the only determining factor as to whether you buy or sell a stock. You need to take all the factors...P/E...Insider trading...Earnings...Analysts recommendations...Etc. Then you do the best you can to make a wise choice.
By the way, I found the flagpole analogy quite helpful. It helped me to visualize what to expect of this stock IF no other news is released.
according to the chart readers what did it tell you the day before the Ericcson announcement? And what did your chart tell
you the day after? No chart on the planet can tell you what's going on in the board room and no chart is going to tell me the
price of this or any other stock next week or next month. If your charts were so damn reliable you wouldn't be reading message
boards - you would have been retired a long time ago sucking down kamikazes on some beach in Tahiti. But what the heck, whatever
turns you on. At least your spouses know they can always fall back on the old Etch n Sketch whenever their at a loss for a
birthday gift. Here's hoping all your charts go thru the roof...
Does anyone have a clue what the hell ATEA is going to do the next quater. And I really didn't understand the "Flagpole" thing that was disscussed yesterdday. Thanx
i enjoy reading peoples interpretations of charting formations so keep this board informed!
Devil doesn't realize that one of the reasons charting is useful is because of those, who like Devil, don't understand or use them.
the two $2 stocks that i follow are astea which had a nice break out and cyto which is breaking out now. just fyi and don't slam me for using this board for cyto!
this market is made up of chartists and fundementalists and if you don't understand charting then don't show your ignorance!
Flagpoles? Pennants? You sure that wasn't a triple mailbox flip?
No disrespect intended but this is kind of silly. This stock is NEWS DRIVEN and announcements like the Erricson one should follow. That is what should make one dive in and purchase - not because of some goosed mallard formation or whatever the hell picture the damn chart looks like. Let's read the WSJ or IBD - not the Ouiji board.

Era of the Big Fire Is Kindled at West's Doors
Published: June 23, 2002
(Page 2 of 4)
On May 19, barely a few weeks after that last snow, the Smith family was told to evacuate because of a growing wildfire. Then came the Hayman wildfire, Colorado's biggest blaze, which the authorities say was started by a seasonal Forest Service worker. In days, the fire covered 20 miles, spreading to within five miles of the Smiths' house.
Last Monday, the Smiths had two hours to retrieve more possessions. On Wednesday, their dream house was destroyed.
Whether the fire was natural or not will be debated for years. But the Smiths' story is more common across the West as more people move into what used to be wilderness.
Experts call the zone where homes meet forest the ''urban-wildland interface.'' That is where most fires are being fought.
Ten times as many homes are now in areas prone to wildfire as there were 25 years ago, said Don Smurthwaite, a spokesman for the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho.
In Colorado, the number of people living in areas at risk of fire increased 30 percent during the 1990's, said James E. Hubbard, the state forester. Nearly a million people in Colorado now live in the fire zone, state and federal demographers said.
Demography and nature collided in Colorado this spring when wildfires broke out in the Rockies, where a drought meant there was little snowpack to provide moisture.
''Usually, the fires don't start until June in this part of the world,'' said Gordon Koenig, a pilot who has been dumping fire retardant on Colorado six days a week since April. Mr. Koenig said the season had doubled in length in the 13 years he has been fighting fires.
A half-century ago, the strategy of fighting nearly every fire was easier. But the era when smoke jumpers would drop into uninhabited valleys is gone, Forest Service officials say. Its end is complicated because the new generation of Westerners has not learned how to live in the red zone safely.
''While Westerners are getting more educated about fire, there is still a kind of dangerous independence, one that resists all zoning and regulation, that exists among people who live in the fire zone,'' said Pat Williams, a former Montana congressman.
Others agree. ''I think the public has accepted the fact that fire has a natural place,'' said Dr. Pyne, the Arizona State fire historian. ''People are starting to get it. But it will take another 10 years or so to work out. Unfortunately, that means the peak of wildfires and homes destroyed will be in the next five years.''
The Policy
When to Fight And What to Risk
Smokey Bear came of age in an era that was haunted by a single summer, 1910, a year that still hangs over all Forest Service decisions about fire. In that year, it seemed as if all of the West was on fire. Three million acres burned in Montana and Idaho alone, and 87 people died. ''Thousands of people thought the world was coming to an end,'' wrote Norman Maclean, the author of ''Young Men and Fire,'' a story of one of the worst calamities in firefighting history.
The deaths, and the apocalyptic images of valleys where daylight had turned to darkness, prompted the fledgling group of government foresters to adopt a new policy. From then on, every fire would be fought, quickly.
But even by midcentury, some foresters were beginning to argue that the policy was misguided and that by snuffing out all fires, the Forest Service was only delaying the inevitable big fires.
A 1999 report by the General Accounting Office blamed a century of putting out all fires for ''an increasing number of large, intense, uncontrollable and catastrophically destructive wildfires.'' The agency said forests in the West would be at risk of big fires through 2015.
The government has made various attempts to change its policy. One of its most notable experiments was in 1988, when some natural fires that consumed more than half of Yellowstone National Park were allowed to burn.
Though the policy angered some Western senators at the time, the now-green park seems to vindicate the National Park Service's decision.
But the issue of allowing fires to burn becomes infinitely more complex when the fire is raging not in a park or a wilderness but near a neighborhood.
''People will simply not tolerate that,'' Mr. Babbitt said.
The government's ability to make the case for controlled burns has also been severely hampered by its own missteps. In 2000, for example, a fire started by the Park Service in New Mexico raged out of control and destroyed hundreds of houses and thousands of acres, ultimately costing the government far more than it ever would have paid to fight a natural fire in the area.
Fires become politicized, too. In 1988, some people blamed the Reagan administration for letting Yellowstone burn. In 2000, George W. Bush implied that President Bill Clinton's policies were to blame for Montana fires.
''The only thing that burns hotter than a wildfire in the West is the demagoguery of some politicians trying to take advantage of it,'' said Mr. Williams, the former Montana congressman.
The Clinton and Bush administrations have pushed for some logging of dead or dying forests in particularly vulnerable areas, but have been stymied by lawsuits and protests from environmental groups.

Bulgarian Prostitution Ring Busted by Spanish Police
Police in Spain dismantled a Bulgarian prostitution network operating in the country.
Under the scheme, Bulgarian women had been taken to Spain and forced to prostitute and give their clients drugs in order to rob them, Spanish Terra Network's online news service reports.
A total of 12 people, eleven Bulgarians one Spaniard, were detained on the island of Mallorca in the Mediterranean, after an eight-month investigation.
In a message to the media, police said some of the robberies involved sums exceeding EUR 15 000, but also that it was difficult to find out exactly how much they got, since most of the victims had chosen not to report.
While searching their homes, investigators found and confiscated EUR 9305, GBP 540, a few computers, two cars, drugs and an unknown number of documents.

Sex Terror: Erotic Misadventures in Pop Culture, 1996-2001by Mark Simpson
Pub. Date: 01/28/2002
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
In Sex Terror, the follow-up to It's a/i>
In the sexplicit age chastity has fallen flat on her back with her legs in the airand everyone is queuing up to take advantage. Even presidents. Now that the Oval Office has become the Oral Office, can young people look up to the leader of the free world without imagining a hand around the back of their heads?
In Sex Terror, the follow-up to It's a Queer World, his critically acclaimed anarchic romp through the institutions of normality, Mark Simpson dispenses with the monkey business of sexuality and finally takes on the organ grinder itself: sex.
Simpson argues that we put far too much faith in sex these days, and that in fact sex is messy, confusing, frustrating, and ultimately disappointing. If you're doing it right. Subjecting our saucy new god to his scornful satire, Simpson takes on every new shibboleth about doing the nasty: it must be hot, it must be frequent, it must wake the neighbors, and it must be Who You Are.
In Sex Terror, Mark Simpson explains:
- why bad sex is better than hot sex
- why the best relationship he's ever had is with a neighbor he's never met
- why anal sex 'doesn't work'
- why hypocrisy is the best aphrodisiac
- why gay men are terrified of women's privates
- why Bill Clinton DIDN'T lie about "That Woman"
- why films like Independence Day and Stargate are even more obsessed with men's bottoms than he is
Along the way he is cruised by 'Galen' from Planet of the Apes in a Beverly Hills restaurant, gets worked up with Alexis Arquette over Stephen Baldwin's butt, discovers that Eminem's lyrical homophobia barely disguises a rampant homophilia, complains that Brad Pitt is a one night stand that won't leave, confronts Henry Rollins with those 'gay'rumors, and has an hilarious bathetic encounter with a glory hole in a Parisian sex club.
