It's not how you start, it's how you finish. The Pratt High School baseball team proved that Monday night at Green Complex. After trailing Russell for most of the regional opening round game, Pratt struck for 4 runs in the bottom of the 6th to go ahead 7-4, which was the final score.
Pratt's first batter of the afternoon, Easton Herring came around to score after reaching via the BB. But it would be a dry spell for the next few innings.
Meanwhile, aided by a close call at the plate that went against the Greenbacks, Russell put up a 4-spot in the top of the second.
Skylar Dean came in to relieve on the bump, and held the Broncos scoreless for the rest of the contest. Pratt had a rally thwarted when a solid line-drive with 2 runners on ended up as a triple play. Resiliently, the Greenbacks came back to plate a pair in the 5th to draw within 1.
Dakota Venard had a bunt single in the 6th, then Easton Herring walked, and Shane McEachern was HBP. Skylar Dean got the game tied with a sac fly plating Venard. Afer a walk to Jarod Gilmore, Drake Evert lashed a single to RF which ended up clearing the bases when the right fielder misplayed the ball. Game: 7-4 PHS when Russell couldn't answer in the 7th. Round 2 is Wednesday at Ulysses.

Top 10 Places to Visit in Sri Lanka
1. Dambulla Cave Temple
Situated in the central part of Sri Lanka, The Dambulla Cave Temple, also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla is an outstanding example of the religious art and expression of South and South-East Asia. The magnificent excavated shrine-caves, their statuary and painted surfaces are unsurpassed in degree and scale of preservation. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1991, the Dambulla Cave Temple is actually the best-preserved and largest cave temple complex in the country. In the surrounding area are documented more than 80 caves, but major attraction are these 5 caves, which contain some authentic paintings and statues. All of these spectacular pieces of art are dedicated to Lord Buddha and his life. The total number of the masterpieces is as follows: 153 Buddha statues, 4 statues of gods and goddesses (including the god Vishnu and the god Ganesh and two statues of Hindu gods) and 3 statues of Sri Lankan kings. The incredible depictions on the walls of the caves include Buddha's first sermon and the temptation by the demon Mara.
2. Sigiriya Rock
Standing majestically and overlooking proudly the luscious green jungle surroundings, the Sigiriya rock (or the "Lion rock") is a large palace ruin and ancient fortress in the central Matale District of Sri Lanka. According to the ancient historical record of Sri Lanka, called Mahavamsa, the Sigiriya rock was built by King Kasyapa, as son of King Dhatusena. In 473 AD the young king dethroned and killed his father, then usurped the throne which rightfully belonged to his elder brother Mogallana, who escaped to India. Kasyapa built his palace on the summit of Sigiriya Rock as a fortress, knowing that his elder brother someday will return to seek for revenge. The invasion finally came in 491 and Kasyapa rode out to battle in his war elephant, but his elephant got stuck in the mud and his soldiers abandoned him. Kasyapa committed suicide, rather than being captured. Some of the most outstanding features of the Sigiriya rock are the gardens: terraced gardens, cave and boulder gardens and water gardens, which are among the oldest landscaped gardens in the world. Of particular interest is the gallery of frescoes, which were painted on the sheer rock face. Only 22 out of estimated 500 pictures have remained now, but some of them are really in remarkably good condition. The Mirror Wall with Graffiti and the Lion Platform are also among the main merits of this fascinating site.
3. Mihintale
This mountain peak near Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka is believed to be the site of a meeting between the King Devanampiyatissa and the Buddhist monk Mahinda, which, according to the Sri Lankans, inaugurated the presence of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Soon after the arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, the Mihintale Mountain started to serve as a residential area for the venerable monks, who were led by Arahath Mahinda Mahathera. Later with the royal patronage, this amazing sanctuary housed the multitude of with monastic buildings-stupas, bodhigharas and uposathgharas. Today Mihintale is a site of abandoned structures and several religious monuments, but also a pilgrimage site. At the foot of the mountain there are ruins of medical bath, a hospital, urns and a stone inscription and urns belonging to the ancient period. The site museum is located north of the ruins of the hospital and the most interesting exhibit, which could be seen there is the model of a relic chamber from a stupa. Ruins of large monastery could be found the steps leading to the summit of the rock and the monastery. The Kantaka Cetiya, the Ambasthala Dagaba and the Cave of Arahant Mahinda are among the other most distinguished attractions of the site.
4. Temple of the Tooth
Scenically located right in the heart of the town of Kandy, the Temple of the Tooth is the prime monument and the most sacred shrine of Buddhism. The temple is a centre of attraction not only for the Sri Lanka's Sinhalese Buddhist people but also for the Buddhists all over the world, as it is believed that it houses the left upper canine tooth of the Lord Buddha himself. The temple buildings cluster around the magnificent Kandy Lake. On the outside they are white with red and white roofs and are not lavishly decorated. In striking contrast to the plain exterior, the interiors are elaborately decorated with lacquer, ivory and inlaid woods. In a two-storey inner shrine fronted by two elephant tusks is kept the relic of the Buddha's tooth. It is placed on a solid lotus flower made of gold, encased in jewelled casket, which sit on a large throne. The entire complex is surrounded by white stone wall. There are openings that give a filigree effect of the wall. During celebrations and special occasions, traditionally candles are placed in the openings and light up the entire front part. This is a really spectacular view, beautiful expression of spirituality and faith.
5. Dondra Head Lighthouse
Designed by Sir James Nicholas Douglass and constructed by William Douglass, the Dondra Head Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in Sri Lanka and in Asia, located on Dondra Head the southernmost point in the country. It contains 14 two-panel yellow-coloured windows, seven floors and 196 steps to the top. All the building materials, including steel and bricks were imported from England. It is said that over 250 ships pass this area daily and, as the lighthouse is still active and helps guide ships and boats, most of them prefer using its beamed signals than the GPS. In case you intend to climb to the top of the Dondra Head Lighthouse, you should keep in mind it is strictly prohibited unless you possess a special permission. If you are lucky enough to get one, on your way to the top you may marvel fabulous views, including the old light house. There are 40 lights on top of the Lighthouse and one is with capacity of 1000 W, so that the lights are powerful enough to flash up to 30 nautical mile radius. Local people claim that the lighthouse is really spectacular, especially at night.
6. Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage
The most exciting place to visit in Sri Lanka, particularly if you are with children, is the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage. This incredible 24-acres-large elephant orphanage was established 1975 by the Sri Lanka Wildlife department and is the largest herd of elephants in captivity in the world. Today the number of animals that the Orphanage hosts is approximately 3000. About 110 people are employed to take care for the herd. About 14,000 kg of food are needed per day. After meals the elephants are driven for a leisurely bath across the road to Maha Oya River. From the terraces of Hotel Elephant Park or the Pinnalanda Restaurant tourists are able to watch that spectacle and enjoy their antics. Rest assured this is an experience that you can't go through anywhere else in the world and will definitely touch your heart.
7. Peradeniya Gardens
Boasting proud and long history, Peradeniya Gardens of Sri Lanka have gone through colonialism and industrial change and today continue to flourish, representing significant national asset for the country. Initially managed by Alexander Moon, the Peradeniya Gardens started as a small cinnamon and coffee plantation. Today it is home to more than 4000 species from all the corners of the world and boasts more than 300 varieties of orchids, palm trees, medical plants and spices. The most entertaining segment located in this captivating botanical wonderland is the commemorative garden. This is the place where royalty and other international dignitaries have planted various trees and this way marked their visits to the astonishing island. It is noteworthy that during the rough and tumble years of World War II, the Peradeniya Gardens served as an operational headquarters of Lord Mountbatton. With the abundant wealth of flowers, trees, fruits and shrubs to explore, it is definitely of value to ramble around this extraordinary place or to spend the entire day relaxing inside the faunal treasure of Sri Lanka.
8. Ancient city of Anuradhapura
The oldest capital of Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura, was established in 4th century BC and continued up to the beginning of the 11th century AD. What is really special about the city is that the sacred Bo Tree, which grown from a branch of the legendary Bodhi tree that Buddha attained enlightenment, while standing under, is situated in Anuradhapura. In the vicinity of the city are situated the remains of the towering Ruwanweliseya Dagaba, of The Kuttam Pokuna, of Brazen Palace, of The Seated Buddha, and many different Temples, Parks and Palaces - all of which carry the testimony to imaginative and proud people. Among the extended ruins that cover the ancient city of Anuradhapura are also bathing ponds, monasteries, alms halls, temples, Buddha images and majestic irrigation tanks and stone carvings. In the ancient city is located the oldest Stupa in Sri Lanka, called Thuparama Dagaba. Other large stupas in the area which are worth visiting are: the Ruvanvelisaya Stupa, the Abhayagiri Stupa and the Jetavana Stupa. The monuments of the ancient city of Anuradhapura are hiding some of the secrets of the remarkable history of Sri Lanka and have survived, surrounded by the solemn umbrage of the imposing trees, scions of splendid ancient parkland.
9. Unawatuna
The ultimate place to enjoy beautiful beach and tranquillity is the Unawatuna resort, located five km south of Galle. The secluded beach community offers the tourists golden sand beaches, protected by coral reefs, wreck and reef diving and safe swimming. The village of Unawatuna gives great opportunities for accommodation for all budgets, including up-market hotels and private guest-houses. There you may also find the unusual mix of Internet cafes, handicraft shops and small supermarkets. Unawatuna is very rich in biodiversity; more than sixty species of endemic birds have been registered by the ornithologist in the locality. The Rumassala coral reefs, on the other hand, attract numerous divers annually. Eco trek in the shrub jungles of Rumassala is another thrill that you may experience there. So, in case you are searching for the perfect occasion to escape to some peaceful and exotic tropical paradise, Unawatuna is the place you should head to.
10. Yala National Park
One of the premier eco-tourism destinations in Sri Lanka is the Yala National Park - the second largest national park and the most visited in the country. Covering vast area of vast 97,878 hectares, the park boasts fairly dense secondary forest, fine coastline, small patches of mangrove vegetation and rich variety of wildlife. 215 bird species, 44 species of mammals and 46 reptile species are residents of the Yala National Park. What is also characteristic about the park is that it boasts huge number of cultural ruins with great significance. They bear testimony to previous civilizations, being important indication that much of the area used to be well-developed and populated.
Elle Thomas on 21 Feb 2012
Sri Lanka seems such a great place full of specific charm and mystery. All the selected places are rather interesting, so I may start planning my dream vacation there. Thank you!

The Marion County 10U All-Stars began their quest for the state title on Saturday, July 9, versus the North Laurel team, which held Marion County hitless for the game in route to an 8-0 victory.
On Sunday, July 10, Marion County faced Stan Spence. Marybeth Overstreet started on the mound for Marion County. She struck out the first two batters in the first inning and after allowing a walk, Emily Gardner would throw out the base runner as she attempted to steal second base.

Kevin Durant announced on July 3 he was signing with the Golden State Warriors, leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder, a team he had been on since he came into the league (the Thunder were the Seattle SuperSonics, but changed their name after Durant's rookie season). His decision came as a surprise to many fans, players, and coaches across the NBA. It also came as a surprise to me as well.
This time of summer, it's usually hot, muggy and very "bug intense."

Daniel Johnson will be taking over as the Marion County Lady Knights head coach, effective July 14. Johnson was selected to be the next head coach after former head coach Derek Cissell left his position.
"I am excited to be the next head coach and I'm chomping at the bit to get things started," Johnson said.
Johnson was interviewed for the position on July 3 and was informed he was selected Thursday, July 7.

During a talk to the Louisville Quarterback Club, then offensive coordinator Neal Brown told the group that one of the most talented players in Kentucky's 2014 recruiting class was Charles Walker of Louisville St. Xavier.
What made that statement so unusual was that Walker was a preferred walk-on, not a highly-touted, four-star scholarship player.
Tucker's Chapel Baptist Church, 600 Short Line Pike, Lebanon, will have their annual homecoming on July 17. Services begin at 11 a.m. with Rev. Dale Smith, pastor.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Aug 01st, 1994
Running Time: 85
Director: Mark Stone
Company: Moonlight Entertainment
Cast: Lynn LeMay, Dyanna Lauren, Brad Armstrong, Christina Angel, Kaitlyn Ashley, Jay Ashley, Celeste (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Director Stone is still feeling his oats with the 501 Jeans influence and opens this trilogy of scenes with the spotlight literally on Brad Armstrong. Armstrong winces throughout a dizzying variety of camera sweeps and talks anal-tough, trying to look like one of the bad guys in Reservoir Dogs. Brad talks about what it's like to be fucking the same old girl (one is to presume, Dyanna Lauren). Yes, Brad. We've got thoughts on this subject, too. Brad does Dyanna in the ass, doggie style, with a key light thrown on them for the center ring effect.
Christina Angel is about to get her butt invaded for the first time (or so she says). To guide Christina along her journey of discovery are Celeste and Lynn LeMay, two wholesome zen-like schoolgirls if there ever was a pair. They tell Christina that anal orgasms are the best, but from this point on, it becomes a matter of distinguishing whose ass is getting the orgasm with bodies, limbs and peripatetic motion seeing the tone of the scene. Christina gets it up the butt with a dildo, but Celeste seems to be the one doing the trick with the anal beads. Whoa.
In an outdoor setting, Jay Ashley tells us that it's a beautiful day for fucking Kaitlyn in the ass. Thank you for the Vin Scully impersonation, Jay. Kaitlyn who always delivers a fabulous scene, no matter what, delivers once again as Jay, after a series of deft body maneuvers, signals his readiness for a doggie plugging. Great ass shots of the lovely Ms. Ashley as she puts a perfect score on the board.
A very entertaining tape with tons of personality—stock with confidence.

Chat with Ted Miller
Miller has been covering college football since 1997, starting with Auburn and then heading West to Washington and the Pac-10. His columns for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer won first place in 2007 APSE Best Writing contest. The Atlanta native and University of Richmond graduate presently lives with his wife in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Send your questions now and join Miller in The Show at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday!
Miller Archive: Blog | Chat | Stories | College football index
Greetings from Scottsdale, where our weather is way better than yours! Fire away.
Ted Miller (3:01 PM)
perhaps I should have clicked my identity
Sweatervested1 (Mobile, Al)
Ted, why did you stop covering Auburn? Who do you see playing in the National Championship game? Do you think they will share Ohio St. with us all again?
Ted Miller (3:04 PM)
Did we cross paths back in my Mobile days... are you responsible for burning down Judge Roy Beans! You certainly inspire love on the Pac-10 blog... I moved to Seattle to cover Washington... which means I covered the Rise and Fall of Terry Bowden and the Rise and Fall of Rick Neuheisel... maybe I should come down and cover Coach Saban? National championship? Penn State vs. USC. Or Texas vs. Florida. Or maybe the first is the Rose Bowl and the second is the BCS game and we split the title again.
Will (Alexandria, VA)
What do you think the odds are that Washington goes after Jim L Mora?
Ted Miller (3:05 PM)
Remote... he's the Seahawks guy... but I've learned nothing is ever off the table until the contract is signed.
Brandon (UT)
Who ya got tonight and why? BYU or TCU?
Ted Miller (3:05 PM)
BYU... love 'em...
Jimmy (Santa Monica, CA)
Why has the UW defense been habitually terrible the last few seasons? The Huskies used to be known for their defense. While their offense isn't great, their defense is just flat out bad. What's the reason?
Ted Miller (3:08 PM)
A lack of talent and coaching that didn't connect with the available talent... the area that sticks out is the lack of marquee d-linemen.... who's the last dominant UW d-lineman... Larry Tripplett... Tank Johnson? I like Te'o-Nesheim but he's an effort guy.
Josh (Georgia)
I know this will anger USC fans, but, why is USC still ranked so high after a loss to an unranked team? I know they're good, but they were dominated in the first half, in a similar fashion as UGA against Bama. The difference is Alabama was #8.
Ted Miller (3:12 PM)
First -- and I'm serious -- most folks believe USC is really good, whatever happened vs. Oregon State. Second, it was a road game. Always an issue. But, again, UGA fans need not worry... just win and your Dawgs are in... promise. The Ohio State win was incredibly impressive. So was the win over Oregon. UGA's first half vs. Alabama is hard to forget. Oregon State is a quality program that has won 19 games over the previous two seasons and won four consecutive bowl games. So if Florida is forgiven a loss at home to a bad Ole Miss team, then USC can be forgiven a loss on the road to a solid Oregon State team.
Gordon (Alabama)
Ted, I'm an Auburn fan. Can you say or tell me anything that will stifle all my frustration, negativity, cynicism and mental anguish?
Ted Miller (3:12 PM)
Does the number six mean anything to you?
Justin (Los Angeles, CA)
Will this season once again demonstrate the need for a playoff system?
Ted Miller (3:14 PM)
What season hasn't? Of course, as a college football writer the BCS system keeps me busy. And if we did have a playoff, know that the excitement of the regular season, which is why I love the game, would diminish significantly.
Jeff (THE OC)
The Mountain West has received a lot of pub this year. Is it warranted? I mean can BYU, TCU, Utah play with the PAC10?
Ted Miller (3:17 PM)
I think those four would fall into the muddled middle of the Pac-10, finishing as high as second or third some years and falling to fifth, sixth or seventh other years. Good programs that would be consistently competitive, but I'd still rate them on an annual basis as behind USC and probably California, Oregon and Arizona State (and yes I remember BYU whipping the Ducks in the Holiday Bowl)
Perry (NY)
There's a lot of talk about Penn State being the most likely of the top 3 teams to make it through the season undefeated and still not making the national championship game. Do you think a 1-loss Texas and/or Oklahoma and a 1-loss SEC champ would skip over an undefeated Penn State to go to Miami?
Ted Miller (3:22 PM)
I don't know all the math... but keep in mind that you'd need a one-loss Texas AND a one-loss SEC champ to knock out Penn State in your scenario AND... we don't know if that will happen -- too much remaining math -- though the Nittany Lions probably should root for some Big Ten teams to climb in the rankings... But two one-loss teams in the title game over an undefeated team from another BCS conference... that would inspire a lot of hand wringing.
John (Los Angeles, CA)
Ted - What team would be favored over USC on a neutral field in the BCS natl champ game? None is my guess.
Ted Miller (3:22 PM)
The Patriots... with Tom Brady. Or maybe my new and improved Atlanta Falcons.
Steve (CA)
Ted, you the man, looking ahead, Cal and OSU looks pivotal. Do you think Jacquizz can gash them they way he did SC?
Ted Miller (3:25 PM)
Not like vs. USC, because he's now a known quantity... and Cal's good against the run with its new 3-4 look that features four very good LBs. Big game, though, and Corvallis can be kind of dicey in mid-November
Beaver Bobe (Corvallis OR)
How come OSU always embarasses the Pac-10 OOC early in the year and then ends up winning 10 games?
Ted Miller (3:27 PM)
If I could answer that, Mike Riley would hire me... My guess is that the Beavers -- and I hate saying this -- might want to consider no longer scheduling rugged nonconference road games... it just seems like the Beavers schemes need some sort of preseason before the sink in.
Rob (Baltimore)
Ted, really with the whole "USC is as good as 15 NFL teams" angle? Really? They were unimpressive beating Arizona St., and lost to a an Oregon St. team that previously got blown out in State College. Can we please stop basing things on talent alone and realize that much, much more goes into making a football team great?
Ted Miller (3:31 PM)
Rob... I completely agree... And I kick USC when it flops against inferior foes... But I -- and many Pac10 fans who don't particularly like USC -- get tired of the unreality of what we here from man so-called pundits and fans about USC being "overrated." Absurd. USC would dominate any conference it played in. It would dominate the SEC. It would dominated the Big 12. USC is the best program in college football. Period. And, trust me, the rest of the Pac-10 would love to, say, trade USC for maybe Georgia or LSU or Oklahoma or Texas for a few years and see what happens.
Pete Carol
Rumor has it that I have been in discussion with Tennesee the last two weeks. I think I'm ready to head to the SEC for some real football. Is this true?
Ted Miller (3:34 PM)
Wow.. would that be a college football thunderclap or what... My instinct: No way. Carroll perhaps leaves USC for the NFL one day, but I'd be shocked if he left USC for another college program...
Donnell (Trojan LAnd Ca)
Hey Ted, Why is OU ahead of USC in the AP poll when their only good win came from #25 TCU team. when USC has two top 25 teams under their belt.
Ted Miller (3:36 PM)
I didn't vote it that way but I don't have a huge problem with it for two reasons; 1) OU looks like a really good team to me; 2) And the Sooners deserve a gift for giving the college football nation one of the best regular season games I've seen in years. Thing of beauty.
Steve (SLC)
bummer Ted....I use to be a big fan of yours. This chat has kind of turned me off.
Ted Miller (3:36 PM)
sorry... if I send you a pizza can I win you back?
Chris (Chicago)
Did someone just say that Oregon State always wins 10 games? One time in the BCS era allows you to say always?
Ted Miller (3:38 PM)
11 in 2000... 10 in 2006.
Kevin (Tempe, AZ)
Ted, just moved down here from Seattle. We think alike, now hopefully we think alike on the answer to this question ... Do you think Notre Dame has a legitimate shot at making a run at the NC game next year? Keep in mind, they are returning most starters, have a weaker schedule, and get USC at home
Ted Miller (3:40 PM)
It's not an indefensible position but I wouldn't take it to Vegas... but it's clear the Irish are trending up. USC -- sorry everybody -- is going to be pretty good next year, with the entire offense coming back. I miss the Seattle seafood... need some oysters and salmon... now
Paul (Charlottesville, VA)
Send me a pizza and I'll forgive you for passing over my two questions related to BYU/MWC (whether the media focuses too much on BYU's offense and whether BYU/TCU/Utah would fare better than middle of the PAC-10 pack with improved BCS recruiting)... :-)
Ted Miller (3:43 PM)
1) BYU's defense is solid, but when they played at Washington, the secondary seemed to lack elite athleticism. 2) The recruiting would improve, but I think those teams would fall into the scramble behind USC... some years winning 8, 9 or 10 games and some years winning 5, 6 or 7. They'd compete at a high level but they'd fall into the mad scramble...
Will Muschamp (Austin, Tx)
How much longer will I be in town?
Ted Miller (3:45 PM)
Not long... you're going somewhere... wonder if you'll hurt Texas' national title hopes by being the servant of two masters ...see, Florida State, Mark Richt.
Nestor (Washington DC)
Ted, what do I need to do in order for you to answer my question? Did Neuheisel, Chow, Walker live up to expectations? 59-0 was BRUUUUTAL!
Ted Miller (3:47 PM)
yes it was... it's a little early to judge... I watched the Bruins practice during the preseason and it was clear they lacked talent... They looked like the eighth-place team in the Pac-10 in the preseason and that's probably where they will finish.
Alex (Houston, TX)
Ted, as an Eastern Washington native I'm curious about WSU. Do you think Mr. Wulff is the right guy for the job?

Again, too early to tell...Even if WSU didn't have a bunch of injuries, they were the least talented team in the Pac-10 entering the season.... things have been worse than projected because injuries have been ridiculous... My initial impression of Wulff was positive. He's recruiting well. He deserves a few years to rebuild the program the way he wants ti.

Florida is faster than SC and would beat them. Taylor Mays would need quite the angle to catch Harvin, Demps, and Rainey...
Ted Miller (3:52 PM)
Ah... this is good... I'd take Mays in a sprint vs. those guys... though I'd take Cal's Jahvid Best over all of them... I will say Florida looked pretty darn fast vs. LSU... but you might want to check out Mays' numbers...
Steve (SLC)
I don't want a pizza Ted....I just want you to explain to me how the regular season would diminish with a playoff. I've never bought into that argument.
Ted Miller (3:56 PM)
Every game counts without a playoff... that's why the Ole Miss-Florida, USC-Oregon State upsets and the Texas-Oklahoma game take on such national meaning... Imagine a 10-1 Alabama team headed to a 6-5 Auburn team with a QB slowed by a sprained ankle. If the Tide knew it would be in a playoff, the smart money is on resting the QB for the playoffs. that would never happen in the present format. Maybe that's a bad example... Alabama fans probably would rather finally beat Auburn than win a playoff.
Common Sense (apparenlty, nowhere)
PROOF THAT MID-SEASON POLLS ACTUALLY MATTER: 1). Auburn goes 13-0 and ends up #2 by default 2). Alabama goes 6-0 and is #2 before the halfway point Auburn gets left out of the BCS conversation b/c they didn't start the season high enough in the polls. USC and Oklahoma get in b/c they were ranked higher than AU in the PRESEASON(before the season even started!!!). If the media had their choice, they'd pick the "old-timers" (USC, Oklahoma, Alabama, Ohio State) over teams who actually may be better than them to play for the championship every year. TOO MUCH EMPHASIS IS GIVEN TO "WHO HAS THE MOST TALENT" INSTEAD OF "WHO HAS THE BEST TEAM". This BCS is garbage. The Media still affects the outcome too much!!!
Ted Miller (4:00 PM)
Wrong wrong wrong.... Auburn played a terrible nonconference schedule that year. They were ignored because they DESERVED to be ignored. And that wasn't a great year for the SEC, in any event. Alabama took on No. 9 Clemson and beat them senseless -- just an brutal performance. If Auburn had, say, scheduled USC and Georgia Tech like it did in 2003, it would have played for the national title in 2004. Of course, the Tigers would have to win those tough nonconference games, which they didn't in 2003. Hmmm... wonder if that means something?
Nick (FL)
Ted - are you aware that Florida's Jeff Demps is the FASTEST AMERICAN TEENAGER EVER? He ran a 10.01 second 100 meter at an Olympic qualifier. I highly doubt Mays could keep up.
Ted Miller (4:02 PM)
i was not... and if he is indeed the FASTEST AMERICAN TEENAGER EVER.. then I stand corrected... I do know that mays ran a 4.25 40.
Ted Miller (4:03 PM)
folks... my time is at an end... good questions! see you next week...

7. Unstick a Door
A door that swings freely in arid winter conditions can jam in summer's humidity. Take note of the sticking points. If the door hinges are solidly anchored and properly mortised, it's likely the house has settled, there's too much paint on the door, the door is swollen, or all of the above. TOH general contractor Tom Silva likes a gap, or reveal, of about ⅛ to 3/16 inch—the thickness of a nickel—between door and jamb to accommodate seasonal changes. If the sticking is localized, shave the high spot down with the door in the open position. Tom uses a hefty bench plane and takes long, smooth strokes with the plane held at a slight angle. (If you suspect lead paint, first remove the finish with a liquid stripper.) Round over the sharpened edges left by the plane with 150-grit sandpaper.

Archibald Stuart (December 2, 1795 – September 20, 1855) was a nineteenth-century politician and lawyer from Virginia. He was the first cousin of Alexander Hugh Holmes Stuart and the father of Confederate General James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart, who was the seventh of eleven children.
Born in Lynchburg, Virginia to Anne Dabney Stuart and Judge Alexander Stuart, Stuart attended private schools and completed preparatory studies as a child. He became an officer in the War of 1812 and studied law afterward. After being admitted to the bar, Stuart commenced practice in Lynchburg. He became a delegate to the Virginia Constitutional Conventions in 1829-30, and in 1850-51. Stuart was elected a Democrat to the United States House of Representatives in 1836, serving from 1837 to 1839. After losing reelection to Isaac Adams, Stuart resumed practicing law. He served to the Virginia Senate, serving from 1852 to 1854. Stuart died suddenly at his home, "Laurel Hill" in Patrick County, Virginia, on September 20, 1855. He was interred in the Stuart family cemetery at Laurel Hill. In 1952 the Stuart family re-interred his remains in Saltville, Virginia, next to the grave of his wife, Elizabeth Letcher Pannill Stuart.

- 1837; Stuart was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives with 56.08% of the vote, defeating Whig Nathaniel H. Claiborne.

Is there a hook(s) I can use to append theme-specific help text to certain WordPress fields (probably in my functions.php, but maybe in a plugin file).
For example, I might want to tell users that featured images look best when they are PNGs with transparent backgrounds.
It just occurred to I could register an admin style that does this:
#postimagediv .inside:after {
content: "For best results, use PNG images with transparent backgrounds.";
font-style: italic;
color: #555;
1) That's a horrifically-inappropriate use of CSS and just generally hack-y.
2) It depends on the admin markup just about never changing. That's probably a bad assumption.
It would probably just as easy to do this with jQuery but [see the above two points replacing "CSS" with "jQuery"].
I've googled but gotten nowhere on this one. Any help, ideas, or tips would be appreciated.

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brian Campbell (51) skates against the Detroit Red Wings in the second period of an NHL hockey game in Detroit, Monday, March 28, 2011. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)
Talks ongoing between Wild and Dumba, meeting expected soon
There's just one piece of business left for Minnesota this summer — a new contract for RFA defenseman Matt Dumba.
And it sounds like that piece of business will soon be attended to.
There have been ongoing talks between Wild assistant GM Brent Flahr and [Dumba's] agent Craig Oster.
The two are expected to meet face to face in Calgary at the Hockey Canada camp.
Dumba, the former No. 7 overall pick, just wrapped his entry-level deal, coming off a campaign in which he set career highs in games played (81), goals (10) and points (26).
He also notched a pair of assists in the Wild's six-game loss to Dallas in the playoffs.
Dumba, 22, did see his name surface in trade talks this season. There was a report in late January that he was the return piece in a potential swap for Tampa Bay's Jonathan Drouin, and he's been tied to teams looking for a blueline upgrade.
A good puck mover with offensive skills — and a right-handed shot — Dumba is definitely a commodity. What's more, logic suggests the Wild could opt to move him, given the long-term financial commitments to fellow defensemen Ryan Suter (signed through 2025 at $7.53 million), Jonas Brodin (2021 at $4.16M), Jared Suprgeon (2020, $5.18M) and Marco Scandella (2020, $4M).
Minnesota has some other young defensive prospects in the system, too.
There's former Gophers standout Mike Reilly, Miami of Ohio product Louis Belpedio and Gustav Olofsson, the 46th overall pick in '13 that's been honing his game in AHL Iowa (and made his NHL debut last season).
The Wild are in control of the Dumba situation and can slow play negotiations, possibly while re-exploring trade scenarios. Don't forget the Bruins are still in search of the "transitional" defenseman they desperately want.
But should things go the expected way and Dumba re-signs in Minnesota, the Star-Tribune said a bridge deal is the "likeliest" outcome.
Journeyman enforcer Rosehill signs with Scottish team
Noted pugilist Jay Rosehill has followed in the footsteps of his fellow tough guys, and will try his hand overseas.
Specifically, in the United Kingdom.
On Tuesday, the EIHL's Scottish-based outfit in Braehead — the Clan — announced it had signed Rosehill for the upcoming campaign. The move comes after the 31-year-old spent each of the last two seasons with Philly's AHL affiliate in Lehigh Valley.
Though he's slowed down in recent years, Rosehill has long been known as an extremely active fighter. At no time was this more evident than during the '08-09 campaign, when he fought a staggering 33 times (yeah, thirty-three) while playing for AHL Norfolk.
Rosehill last played in the NHL during the '13-14 campaign, scoring two goals in 34 games for the Flyers — while racking up 90 PIM.
Here's an example of some of his most famous handiwork:
As mentioned above, the EIHL has landed a few notable ex-NHL fighters. Cam Janssen, Kevin Westgarth, Paul Bissonnette and Tom Sestito have all played there.
Veteran d-man Foster retires, moves into coaching
Kurtis Foster, who appeared in over 400 games during a 10-year NHL career, is hanging up his skates to enter the next phase of his hockey life — coaching.
Foster, 34, has rejoined his former junior team in OHL Peterborough as an assistant coach, per the Examiner. The decision comes after Foster spent the last three years playing overseas in the KHL and, most recently, in the German League.
The 40th overall pick in 2000, Foster is often remembered for a horrific leg break while playing for Minnesota during the 2007-08 campaign, in which his femur was shattered by Torrey Mitchell after Mitchell tried to prevent an icing call.
The severity of the collision and Foster's injury — he underwent emergency surgery, nearly bled out and almost lost his leg — prompted an immediate rule tweak from the NHL, and has since been viewed as a catalyst for the league's adoption of no-touch icing.
Impressively, Foster recovered from the broken femur to post a career-high 42 points in 74 games with the Lightning in '09-10.
In addition to the Wild and Bolts, Foster spent time with the Thrashers, Oilers, Ducks, Devils and Flyers.
University of Denver standout Moore goes pro, signs with Leafs
Trevor Moore, an undrafted junior out of the University of Denver, has opted to bypass his senior campaign by signing a three-year, entry-level deal with the Leafs, the club announced on Tuesday.
Here's what Moore, 21, has accomplished over the last three years:
[Moore] skated in 40 games with the University of Denver (NCHC) this past season, collecting 44 points (11 goals, 33 assists) and eight penalty minutes. He finished tied for sixth in the conference scoring race with 35 points (nine goals, 26 assists) in 31 games.
In 121 career games at Denver, the Thousand Oaks, California native registered 120 points (47 goals, 73 assists). Moore was named to the NCHC First All-Star Team and was the conference's forward of the year during the 2014-15 season. In 2013-14, Moore was named to the NCHC All-Rookie Team.
Moore scored his ELC after performing well at Toronto's prospects camp earlier this month, and looks to be on his way to the Marlies for next season.
If you're wondering why Moore was passed over at the draft, do consider the Pioneers website lists him — perhaps generously — at 5-foot-9, 175 pounds.
Of course, Toronto does have a similarly diminutive player right near the top of the organizational prospect pool in Mitch Marner, currently listed at 5-foot-11, 160 pounds. It's probably worth noting that Moore and Marner skated together at prospects camp.

Westwood (Paperback)Stella Gibbons, Lynne Truss
Paperback Published: 04/08/2011
- In stock
Click & Collect From your local shop
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY LYNNE TRUSS 'Stella Gibbons is the Jane Austen of the twentieth century' The Times Set in wartime London, Westwood tells the story of Margaret Steggles, a plain bookish girl whose mother has told her that she is not the type that attracts men. Her schoolfriend Hilda has a sunny temperament and keeps her service boys 'ever so cheery'. When Margaret finds a ration book on Hampstead Heath the pompous writer Gerard Challis enters both their lives. Margaret slavishly adores Challis and his artistic circle; Challis idolises Hilda for her hair and her eyes and Hilda finds Gerard's romantic overtures a bit of a bind. This is a delightfully comic and wistful tale of love and longing.

Shows up on my account as Platinum MasterCard. It's a No-Hassle Cash rewards card. IIRC it had a 9-month 0% intro APR that is now 19.8%, and it had a $39 annual fee which I have since had permanently removed.
EDIT: It was also a Credit Steps card. Opened at $500, went up to $750.

I explore the history of celebrity couples and point out which ones are my least favorite. I even pick a worst. Feel free to fight me, but as usual, I think you'll find that my logic is irrefutable -- or else too spastic and asthmatic to be argued. Warning: I am very mad at Ryan Reynolds.
Youth Olympian and 19-year-old Australian hurdler Michelle Jenneke won the hearts of the Internet this summer after a video of her sexy warmups went viral. Now that she's arrived in Los Angeles, the athlete behind the meme also proved bust a move to the Internet's other favorite dances.
This is a far cry from the S&M posturing of Madonna in her heyday. Everybody knew The Big M was just looking for new ways to shock. Rihanna has also shocked. But there is a disturbing feeling she's not posing or kidding.
I quit smoking in February of this year, but after I watched the 2012 American Music Awards, I wanted to go buy a pack of cigarettes, rip the filters off, and smoke it like my Father is making me smoke the whole pack as punishment.
It's here. A moment in pop music where the artist set up to look the best, sound the best and actually be the best, lives up to the hyperbole and wins the prize.
The 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was Wednesday night and it included performances by Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, and Rihanna. Also, Channing Tatum is People Magazine's 2012 Sexiest Man Alive and Lady Gaga topless!
While the racism, sexism, and homophobia evident in these social spaces and at GOP political rallies are nothing new, the justification, the denial, and the overall societal complacency about racism (and sexism) because our president is black, speaks to a broader issue confronting America.
A pep rally was held that involved three white students dressed in black face and they re-enacted the Chris Brown & Rihanna fight. No one stopped them...
You really couldn't wait two hours until the non-televised after party? I never expected Rihanna to hold undying resentment against Chris Brown, but there's a noteworthy distinction between forgiveness and fondling.
Rihanna's new single "Diamonds" is out this week, which made me wonder: Do we even have a "Queen of Pop" anymore? And if so, who is it? Does she matter?
Get a grip. Or, more importantly, let's loosen the grip on our cultural breast obsession. Enough with the boobs.
The truth is, there is no one who can give you that self love. It doesn't matter how many people adore you, or how skinny, successful, smart, talented, funny, kind, or compassionate you are. None of it matters if YOU don't see your wonderful self.
Rihanna dared facing the wrath of fans, media and other critics to be bravely honest in her new Oprah interview. Chris Brown owes her a big thank you.
She is only 24, but is right up there in the world of pop icon-hood, giving even the likes of Beyonce and Lady Gaga a run for their money.
Young black female performers might seem to have found, in the triangulation of their flesh, food, and sexiness, the key to affirming their commanding womanhood and their agency.

I'm trying to manipulate an ldif file with multiple entries. My purpose is to parse this existing ldif file, extracting the "givenName" and "sn" attributes, so to generate a "mail" attribute. I was thinking about AWK or Sed, but unfortunately I'm not an expert on the two nice tools. An example:
original file
dn: cn=fremer, ou=people, dn=domain, dn=com
cn: fremer
givenName: Freddy
sn: Mercury
dn: cn=markno, ou=people, dn=domain, dn=com
cn: markno
givenName: Mark
sn: Knopfler
dn: cn=fremer, ou=people, dn=domain, dn=com
mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
dn: cn=markno, ou=people, dn=domain, dn=com
mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
The dn is needed since I will take the resulting ldif and pass it to "ldapadd" for LDAP update. Any suggestion or hint on where should I look at? Thank you!

Another day, another new 52-week low for Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF -7.2%) after Goldman Sachs cut its price target to $20 from $24. CLF has more problems than just weak iron ore prices, the firm says, most notably the inability to control costs at its Bloom Lake mine. Yesterday, BAML cut its price target to $25, and shares plunged through BAML's barrier before the report's ink was dry.

My biggest concern, as shareholder, is why senior management is dumping their stock at such low valuations. They obviously know something we don't. But, then again, these are the same Darwin award winners that made acquisitions at record high prices then had to write them down by $1 billion. Perhaps, their valuation of their own company is a great contrarian signal!
Time will only tell if I have any brains or not because I smelled something BAD WRONG when the company announced that dividend. Didnt make sense to me at all. I smelled mismanagement and now goldman finally is probably thinking same thing although not coming right out and saying it. Cant believe I was the only one at the time. No one called it out. Only now they are smelling something besides china?

Resignations, Returns, and... Er... Restrooms
Senator Larry Craig has had a bad week. One could almost use the ubiquitous tag "embattled" for the Senator, which up till now, was exclusively reserved for Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez. But even the formerly embattled
GonzalezGonzales was knocked off RSS feeds across the country for the Craig story. Suffice it to say his alleged misconduct, to which he mistakenly pleaded guilty, is the political buzz of the week. (Along, of course, with Senator Tim Johnson's return, and more primary squabbling.) So who better to discuss everything from Gonzalez'sGonzales' exit to restroom behavior, but our own Ken Rudin. PoJu is in session.

It's worth remembering that Mike Rogers over at blogactive.com has been pushing this story for ages.
It's he (more than the Idaho Statesman) who deserves credit for exposing Sen. Craig's bitterly ironic behavior.
Let's hear some more about the AG's quitting. I've been waiting for it, not really expecting it, for months. Is it wonderful, or will Gonzalez be like Rumsfeld and likely Rove, still around, just not officially? The man wrecked not just the Justice Department, but collaborated in wrecking the principles of justice in the country. Let's talk about that, hmm?
As an independent I find it interesting that, generally speaking, the "zipper problems" with both parties tend to break down along the lines: for Democrats, fairly routine run of the mill stripper kind of problems and for the Republicans, odd, weird, sick and twisted congressional page boy kind of zipper problems. And the more conservative, the more affiliated to the Religious Right, the kinkier. I am not sure if Freud could figure it out. Maybe it falls along the lines of: the more repressed, the more "upright n uptight", the more finger wagin, the dirtier the toilet toe tappin.
I think that one characteristic of the contemporary Republican party is loyalty above all else (the Bush White House being the prime example). The way in which Republicans are not rushing to the aid of their Idaho colleague -- in fact, doing the opposite -- along with the few but noteworthy departures from the party line on the war and on the Gonzales hoohah... Does this show that Republicans are learning that loyalty may become more costly? Could there be a shift toward more responsible , less personal-favor- and GOP-network-based politics?
I don't usually defend Republicans, especially anti-gay ones. But in this case, I think we need to keep in mind a few things:
1. According to the police report, all the Senator did was tap his foot and wiggle his hand. The arresting officer never claims that Craig exposed himself, performed lewd actions in public view, or asked for sex. Is foot tapping now enough to be arrested?
2. This was a highly trafficked bathroom in a major airport. The police report states that Craig waited two minutes for a stall to free up. How would sex be possible in a place with so many others around to hear and potentially see?
3. Gay men around the U.S. are well aware that restroom stings are a frequent and common way to harrass gay men who have NOT propositioned the officer. It's jokingly referred to as "peeing while gay." In a he said/he said exchange, the man with the badge always beats the man with the lisp.
So while we snicker and laugh at a probable hypocrite and his embarrassing comeuppance, let's remember that this is an arrest based merely on one plainclothes officer's interpretation of non-verbal behavior. And doesn't this officer have a better place to be than hanging around in restrooms hoping for some interest from sad closet cases?
Also, isn't it "Gonzales" with an S?
I'm waiting for the explanation that he was tapping his feet to some tune on his ipod.
You're absolutely correct, Rebecca! Thanks for catching our mistake.
Commmentators have been speaking as if the corruption scandals and unpopuluar war are coincidentally linked. I disagree with this implication. Nobody is happier than I to see the Republican party self destruct, but I believe that there is an enormous amount of corruption going on all the time, but participants only get "caught" when their party is seen as vulnerable or unpopular.
To Rob Gries,
I agree with your statement. The problem is he pled guilty. Now he claims he didn't know what he was doing and didn't have his lawyer but isn't his job in the law field? Why would you plead guilty to that and then change your mind? Even if you thought it would just go away why would you say you did it if you were just minding your own business.
If Mr. Craig is stupid enough to plead guilty to something he says he did not do in a mens room in an airport and then later deny it, he has no business being a U.S. Senator. Period!
Everyone has a family whose values may be as close, or as far away from societal norms. Unfortunately, the values of some professions cause individuals to lead dual lives. Vehemently opposing the values of some, when you are in actuality engaging in the same activity is duplicitous. Two of Craig's passions were mutually exclusive. Oppression will always lead to deviance. Hopefully, something positive will come from this.
Senator Craig told his audience several times that he was not gay. Being gay is not illegal. Solicitaion and lewd behavior in public places is.
k treble
To John Rivard,
Thanks for responding to my post. Yeah, he did plead guilty. It's hard to defend a guy who says he did it but then takes it back. In fact, I suspect he probably DID cruise the officer. I was just reminding myself and others not to jump to conclusions.
But to answer the question "Why would someone plead guilty to something he didn't do?" I can think of several reasons:
He was embarrassed at the charges getting out, and knew that people would automatically assume he was gay simply by being accused.
His position as a Senator would be ruined if a national scandal erupted over a trial about tearoom sex.
Gay rumors were swirling about him for years, and he may have decided that even if he wasn't cruising for sex, he
couldn't weather another trip on the rumor mill by fighting the charge.
He may have thought paying the fine and telling no one would spare him having to look his wife and kids in the eye and trying to explain why he got arrested for St. Vitus' dance.
And lastly, many gay men have done that very thing-- paid fines they didn't deserve to keep themselves out of the papers.
Now did the Senator plead guilty for any of the above reasons? I don't know. But I do know the Stonewall Riots began after police arrested a bunch of gay men who finally got sick and tired after years of being harassed by homophobic police.
It's just sad to me that Senator Craig is getting treated more harshly for asking for sex than Senator Vitter is for actually getting it and paying a prostitute to boot! The only differences seem to be that the object of his alleged desire was a man, and that he stupidly asked in public, and not over the phone.
He's an anti-gay closet hypocrite, most likely. But the double standard at play here still rankles.

Red chair making rounds in GraftonNovember 15,2012GRAFTON — A famous red chair is travelling through southern Vermont and will be on display at the Grafton Inn today.
The Red Chair is being welcomed at inns and bed and breakfasts throughout New England. It is part of a consciousness raising experiment among New England innkeepers similar to Flat Stanley, a paper caricature that travels across the United States.
The chair got its start at the Woods Hole Inn in Woods Hole, Mass. It has travelled through Rhode Island and Maine and is now in Vermont before heading to New Hampshire, Connecticut, western Massachusetts, and back home to Woods Hole.
The Grafton Inn is at 92 Grafton St. in Grafton and Red Chair pictures are on the Grafton Inn Facebook page. The next stop for the Red Chair is the Three Mountain Inn on Route 30 in Jamaica.

Slovak Parliament OKs Eurozone Bailout Fund
As expected, "Slovakia's Parliament has approved expanding the powers of the European Union bailout fund," The Associated Press reports from Bratislava.
The wire service adds that:
"Slovakia is the last of the 17 eurozone nations to approve increasing the size and powers of the fund, which is designed to boost Europe's defenses against the debt market turmoil. Parliament rejected the changes Tuesday because a junior coalition party was against it, causing the government to fall. The main opposition Smer-Social Democracy then agreed to help the outgoing coalition in exchange for early elections."
Before today's votes, stocks had been on the rise in New York in anticipation of approval. Now that the vote's over, stocks are mostly lower. As they say, "buy on the rumor, sell on the news."
