BALTIMORE -- The Raiders mostly shrugged off a third-quarter trick play that resulted in a touchdown for an opponent that already had a 24-point lead.
Holder Sam Koch ran 7 yards on a fake field goal to put the Baltimore Ravens up 48-17 with 5:40 left in the third quarter en route to a 55-20 victory over the Raiders on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.
Said Raiders coach Dennis Allen: "Nothing surprised me. Our job is to stop them, and we have to stop them."
Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly asked a reporter, "You're up 40-something in the third quarter, would you run a fake field goal?" When the answer was "no," Kelly said, "OK. But at the end of the day. We've got to stop it. So that's all that matters."
Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said the fake was put in during the week if the Raiders presented a specific alignment.
"The thinking was it was an overload look," Harbaugh said. "They've got eight guys on one side of the formation, and if it's inside the 10-yard line and they give you that formation, then we're going to take it."
Raiders cornerback Michael Huff said, "We're all grown men. If they run it, we've got to stop it."
Koch, the Ravens' punter, ran slightly to his left and went untouched into the end zone. He said he didn't notice if the Raiders were upset.
"Not that I know of," Koch said. "I was too busy doing high-fives and spiking the ball."
Citing Jones' injuries and ball-security issues, Allen said, "We have to know when he goes into the game, he's going to know what to do and he's going to protect the football and he's got to be able to stay healthy ... as he improves those things, he'll get more playing time." Jones was hoping to carry the ball more, but said he alone is responsible for his playing time.
"It's my job to earn their trust," Jones said. "All I can do is give them all I've got and practice hard."
"Carson threw it on faith because we had been working on that -- just to be there at the same time," Heyward-Bey said. "I saw Ed Reed coming down so I kind of protected myself and I didn't go down so I just went for the end zone."
Reed left the game with a stinger that isn't believed to be serious.
Guard Mike Brisiel stepped on the foot of Palmer as he dropped back to pass. Palmer fell to the ground and took a 4-yard sack.
"I knew against this team, we were going to have to steal a possession somewhere down the line," Allen said. "(Carson) got stepped on and we didn't get the play like we needed to."
The Ravens used the field position set up from the missed gamble to set up a 48-yard field goal from Justin Tucker.

The Rolling Stones Roll Through Brooklyn
BROOKLYN — Mick Jagger had a point to make when he stepped to the microphone.
It was about three-quarters of the way through the Rolling Stones' concert on Saturday night at the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn. He had spoken to the audience during the gig to thank them for their applause and introduce the names of the songs and the members of the group. Now, he wanted to explain something to the stomping, sell-out throng.
"People ask us why we keep doing this, why we keep playing," Jagger said earnestly. "We do it because of you!"
Judging by the joy in the faces of singer Mick Jagger, guitarists Keith Richards and Ron Wood and drummer Charlie Watts — the core members of the Stones — the guys do it for themselves, too. Their stop in Brooklyn was their first U.S. concert in several years. Keyboard whiz Chuck Leavell and bass player Darryl Jones helped fill out the sound
There are those critics who will attest that the Stones, in their recent vintage, are a caricature of their former glorious selves, that the Stones are simply the best Rolling Stones cover band around. I disagree strongly.
On Saturday, the Stones worked hard in an artful and entertaining show. It began with a brief self-congratulatory film featuring celebrities raving about the Stones here in their 50th anniversary of their first gig. Admittedly, I could have lived without seeing that pap. That was immediately followed by a slamming percussion group that walked around the front of the hall. That the Stones are celebrating this milestone should be enough of a reason for them to take the stage. They don't need a silly movie.
The Stones opened with a quartet of golden oldies from the Sixties: "Get Off My Cloud," "I Wanna Be Your Man," "The Last Time" and "Paint It Black."
There were few song surprises in a show that covered a lot of old ground: "Satisfaction," "Gimme Shelter," "It's Only Rock and Roll," "Midnight Rambler," "Sympathy for the Devil," "Start Me Up," "Brown Sugar," "Tumblin' Dice," "Miss You" and others. The choral arrangement for "You Can't Always Get What You Want" was a standout.
The revelation, though, was Ron Wood's lead guitar work. In the past, he has been reticent about stepping out and playing blistering solos. Perhaps he was distracted, too. Whatever, he was rocking on Saturday night. Keith Richards started out slowly before he hit his groove, so it was necessary for Wood to stake his claim. Richards sang "Happy" and "Before They Make Me Run," and he sounded good. When Richards wants to, he can still really play.
As he has been for five decades, drummer Charlie Watts was rock steady all night, looking serious as a judge much of the time, and never missing the beat.
Jeff Beck, Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman, all of whom had appeared with the Stones during their recent two shows in London — were absent in Brooklyn.
But the unquestioned star of the evening was Jagger. He didn't stop moving and singing.
The Barclays Center is a nice place to see a big show, offering clear sight lines and a good large-hall acoustics. The Stones will next appear at the 12/12/12 Concert to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Then they'll play two shows in New Jersey, to finish up their mini-tour, a total of five scheduled concerts (including the initial two performances in London). It's probable but not yet ground in stone that the band will play an extended, proper tour next year.
Can the Stones sustain this same kind of passion and momentum? Playing a one-off gig in Brooklyn is fine. But the band would have to sustain the excellence over a month or two. Week #14 on a 40-date tour probably won't be as rewarding, especially for musicians the age of the Stones.
But that's talk for another day. On Saturday night in Brooklyn, the Stones proved that they are still going strong.

The Washington County Health Department is making payroll as the board continues to look for ways to stabilize the struggling agency.
"We are still working, trying to bail out a bad financial situation," said county health board President Richard Daniell. "We are making payroll. ... But we are not well enough along that we can see very far down the road."
The department, with an annual budget of approximately $1.3 million, ran in the red the last three years and had to borrow money from the county in January to make the first payroll of 2013. Thanks to changes and reductions - including the non-renewal of the previous health commissioner's contract and fee increases and other moves at the Southeastern Ohio Dental Clinic - the department is able to cover the roughly $27,000 needed every two weeks to cover salary and benefits for 19 employees. That number includes full- and part-time workers, as well as those who are paid strictly out of grant funding, a health department employee said.
Daniell said the board is constantly reviewing the steps it's taken to make sure they are working.
"It is a continuing process of review and evaluation and tweaking the changes a little bit," he said.
Previously, Daniell has attributed the difficulties to declining state and federal support.
The Ohio Department of Health advised the board to hire a part-time health commissioner and aim to have someone in the position full-time basis, along with a business operations plan, by July 1. In addition, the state department suggested contacting the Belpre and Marietta City health departments about the possible sharing of services or mergers, but so far, those talks have borne little fruit.
Marietta City Health Department registrar Sandra Hickey said there haven't been any talks between the departments recently, although the city board did offer its assistance last month.
The Belpre health department is satisfied with its current service, provided by contracts with the Athens City-County and Marietta departments, Mayor Mike Lorentz said.
"We're going to stay right where we're at, just doing what we're doing," he said.
But Belpre board members have indicated a willingness to listen to proposals about sharing with the county health department.
Marietta resident Dick Wittberg, executive director of the Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department in Parkersburg, has been serving as the interim health commissioner for the county on a volunteer basis. He said Monday the board has asked him to stay on for another three months.
Ohio Health Department Director Dr. Theodore Wymyslo visited the area recently and met with local health department officials. Merging the departments was not on the agenda; however, he did discuss proposed changes in the upcoming state budget that could impact them in the near future.
"As I understand, statewide they are cutting 180 grants to 47 grants," Daniell said. "It may affect us locally. We do not know at this point how much or when."
The county health board is scheduled to attend its annual meeting with the Washington County Township Trustees Association at 6 p.m. Thursday at the county engineer's office at 103 Westview Ave. in Marietta.
The department receives $235,000 from the county's 22 townships. In addition, the trustees group elects health board members to five-year terms on a rotating basis. Daniell's seat is up for a vote this year.

OAKLAND -- More than 3,000 miles and 36 hours removed from the verdict that set off weekend protests marred by violence and vandalism, Oakland's battered downtown cleaned up on Monday, with merchants boarding up windows and city workers washing trashed streets and storefronts.
The Florida acquittal of George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed African-American teenager, prompted mostly peaceful weekend protests in San Jose, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
In Oakland, however -- the city where Oscar Grant was shot and killed by a BART police officer and where the Oakland Police Department is under federal supervision in part over a failure to stop racial profiling -- nightfall led to rowdy, chaotic protests that, in a few instances, turned violent.
A loosely organized protest of about 150 people late Saturday night resulted in widespread vandalism, and a few protesters beat one man in a Broadway doorway near Frank H. Ogawa Plaza until other protesters ended the skirmish. The man was helped to his feet and did not appear seriously injured.
The group shattered numerous storefront windows, spray-painted buildings and a police car, and started several small fires in the streets. No arrests were reported.
Sunday's demonstration began peacefully with a two-hour afternoon march from downtown to West Oakland and back, ending with protesters sitting in the intersection of 14th Street and Broadway.
Hours later, a small group of protesters started heading north on Telegraph Avenue and quickly turned violent, attacking a KTVU photographer and a Bay Area News Group photographer who suffered minor injuries when he was kicked on the ground and his camera was ripped from his shoulder. Police made only one arrest, of someone who refused to disperse and did not have identification.
Businesses along Telegraph Avenue and Broadway took the brunt of the damage, with 61 windows broken or shattered at 14 buildings, according to police.
Interim Police Chief Sean Whent, who surveyed the damage on Monday afternoon, said his department was not aware jurors in the Zimmerman trial were deliberating over the weekend, so it had only eight to 10 officers immediately available on Saturday to police an increasingly unruly crowd of about 150 protesters.
When asked if he was happy about the staffing level, Whent said: "No, not at all."
The interim chief said his department is reviewing surveillance footage in an attempt to make additional arrests.
On Monday, duct tape was holding together windows at Awaken Cafe on Broadway. A flier was taped next to it: "This window will be fixed later today. When will the U.S. justice system?"
On the 1400 block of Broadway, which has been hit hard by vandalism during protests over the years, all six ground floor windows were boarded up at Foot Locker, and a few doors down, four windows were damaged at the Oaklandish store.
The vandalism was a first for Oaklandish, which opened on Broadway in July 2011. The store sells Oakland-themed apparel and donates a portion of its proceeds to local community organizations.
"I don't necessarily think it was targeted but who's to say," said Natalie Nadimi, the company's community engagement manager. "I don't know if there's any rhyme or reason to it."
Oaklandish has no plans to move from the heart of downtown, she said.
"We really represent what Oakland is about and where it's going," said Nadimi. "There's no question we are going to stay here."
About 60 people were inside Dogwood, an Uptown bar, on Saturday night when protesters smashed the front windows using bicycle u-locks, said owner Alexeis Filipello. Employees guarded the front of the store, and were "physically pushing them away," Filipello said.
About 45 minutes later, Oakland police arrived. She said she went out seeking assistance and warned officers about a group of approximately 50 people burning trash cans on the 17th Street side of the bar.
"Basically the police officer said, 'There's nothing I can do and I don't care,'" Filipello said. "It was such a 'not-our-problem.'"
"When is enough, enough?" she asked. "How are we supposed to get help?"
The bar reopened Monday at 4 p.m. As for the protest planned Monday evening in Oakland? "We'll just see what happens," Filipello said.

Firsts and Seconds
American Hard Maple Blocks - "the real deal"
The Base B Kit has a full range of pieces, including the 22 inch rectangles. It is "chunkier" than the Base Kit A and has more big pieces and fewer small ones. It has enough pieces to build a substantial building and includes some road planks. At about 4-1/2 children are starting to be able to translate a picture of something into a block replica (though they are imaginative enough to create their own structures), as soon as they master the idea of a box on top of another box by planking over the first box with roof planks. They may also start out by laying out flat constructions such as airplanes with wings or stick figures before starting to build vertically. As time proceeds, children will now begin to integrate more fanciful stories and will employ dolls and toy soldiers. Blocks this size also work well with small cars, and parents may wish to buy road intersections and additional road planks from open stock.
Ages 3+

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included. Ask your doctor if you need to take any special care. Use each of these medications only as advised by your doctor, and according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
Common names include:
You may be given glucocorticoids (cortisone-like drugs) to reduce inflammation. Sometimes these are given by mouth for a short period of time. This helps you avoid the side effects of a lengthy treatment. These doses should not be used when the inflammation is fighting off an infection. More often, certain steroids are given by an injection into the affected area. This is done to try to avoid the whole-body side effects that occur more often with taking steroid medicines by mouth.
There are many complications associated with this class of drugs. Even repeated doses separated by long periods of time may cause major damage. But a few sessions of glucocorticoids should not cause serious problems in most people.
Possible side effects include:
Common names include:
The standard nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be as effective as cortisone. These drugs reduce inflammation by other pathways than the cortisone class of drugs. They are safer to use in the presence of infection. But they may have other harmful side effects.
Possible side effects include:
Common names include:
Aspirin, which reduces inflammation, is really the first of the NSAIDs. There are minor differences among the available anti-inflammatory agents. These differences include dosing intervals, frequency of certain side effects, and other characteristics.
Possible side effects include:

Beginning in early childhood I have found libraries a comfortable second "home." From a small bungalo, various-size school and college libraries and always the public libraries have held my enthusiastic visit and support.
Being of insatiable curiosity, even after the invention of the Internet, has been the library-for more indepth answers as well as escape to wonderous worlds of imagination and discovery of words that are illustrations unimagined stories in fiction and fact. Having a hearing impairmnt led me to read more than most, I suspect, and this, in turn, led me to a long-enriching career in school (briefly) and public libraries.
As Orson Card Wells so succintly stated: "... the first step of a thousand journeys, portal to a thousand worlds" (is the library).

Pioneers not taking Region 10 tournament lightly
Published: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 6:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 6:14 p.m.
Spartanburg Methodist could wear that 30-0 perfect regular season proudly into the postseason and try to improve on that in the tournaments.
At Walterboro (USC Salkehatchie)
No. 4 Aiken Tech vs. No. 5 Cape Fear, 3 p.m.
No. 2 Brunswick vs. No. 7 Clinton, 5 p.m.
No. 3 USC Salkehatchie vs. No. 6 Denmark Tech, 7 p.m.
No. 1 Spartanburg Methodist vs. Aiken Tech/Cape Fear winner, 5 p.m.
Brunswick/Clinton winner vs. USC Salkehatchie/Denmark winner, 7 p.m.
Championship at 2 p.m.
But that's not how the Pioneers are thinking.
Winning streak? What winning streak?
"The 30 wins prior to this don't matter anymore," SMC head coach Jeff Brookman said. "You need to have a one-and-done mentality going into postseason play, whether it is the region tournament or the national tournament."
Top-ranked SMC will be in both. The Pioneers earned a first-round bye in the Region 10 tournament being played on the USC Salkehatchie campus in Walterboro and will begin with a semifinals game today.
Regardless of the outcome, however, they will also be in the NJCAA tournament beginning March 18 in Hutchinson, Kan., earning a first-round bye in the single-elimination event featuring the top 24 teams in the country. SMC clinched that with a regular-season championship and a second team from Region 10 will earn a trip this weekend.
SMC wrapped up the historic 30-0 regular season last week as the only undefeated team in men's college basketball.
"It's back to work," sophomore forward Ronell Crockett said. "We feel like we haven't won a game yet. And if we can win the region tournament, we're 0-0 again."
"The regular season was great," point guard Travis Black said. "We've got to focus on the tournament."
And he didn't mean the national one. SMC is concentrating solely on tonight and a former middle school gym in Walterboro, not the national stage in Kansas.
"We have to be prepared when we go into the region tournament," Jalen Nesbitt said. "Of course, we know that we will still be able to go to Hutch, but there's no way we want to go there right after a loss."
Nesbitt (Chapman High School) on Wednesday night was named defensive player of the year in Region 10 and also first-team all-conference with Crockett (T.L. Hanna). Black, from Spartanburg Christian, made second team. Brookman was the easy choice for coach of the year.
"The ride has been special," Brookman said. "Fortunately enough, it's not over. Now we get to go to the region tournament and the national tournament. But we're thinking only about Friday right now."
SMC has an all-South Carolina roster, most of the major players from the Upstate, and nine sophomores. Eight of those helped the Pioneers last season make it to the national tournament for the first time since 1999.
"That's one of the reasons we've been so successful," Brookman said. "The sophomores had a taste of success last year. It kind of carried into this year and propelled us to what we've accomplished so far."
Nesbitt and Crockett lead the team in scoring with 13.8 and 13.7 points per game, respectively. Nesbitt also leads in rebounding with 7.5 with Crocket at 5.6. DaQuan Jeffries (Broome) averages 9.8 points and 5.8 rebounds. Black leads the team with 4.8 assists per game and also scores 7.7. Ben Johnson (Boiling Springs) averages 6.1 points for the season but 12.0 in the past three games.

I recently just completed my third sprint distance tri of the season (and ever). I am racing in the 20-24 age group. I trained hard and it certainly showed on the swim and bike as I was one of the first in from the bike, however, my 8:30 pace on the 4-mile run dropped me way down in the standings. I've never been an endurance athlete but seem to have some natural ability, how do these guys run 6 - 7 minute miles and how can I do it too? Any training ideas?
Your best is negative splits and negative runs when you work on the running part of Tri's. It is simple, go out for your run and run a little slower going out and then run back faster. I try and run say 10 miles on an out and back course. I run out at say 8:00/mi and then run back at a 7:30 pace. Just come back faster than you went out and always try and finish strong. you will build up endurance and the ability to stay fast when you are tired.
two things: 1) build a good endurance base then practice running fast - tempo runs or hill repeats or interval workouts. they should help
2) BRICk workouts - a bike ride followed immediately by a run - gets your legs used to transitioning blood flow from biking muscles to running muscles- sounds easy but it ain't. the quicker you find your running legs the better the run will be.
goals for 2011:
break 19minutes for 5k
break 2:42 for olympic triathlon probably Anthracite olympic
break 3:16 for marathon ( a long shot but it's fun putting yourself out there)
I am training for my first triathlon, but am a runner so will try to help
you. I just set pace benchmarks and go after them. I did run in high school so
I think having that training behind me has helped. Maybe join a local track
club or running club?
1. Work out on a track: Get on the track once a week and do speed work.
There are lots of speed drills you can do (look around online). I like Pyramids:
100m hard 100easy 200m hard 100easy 300m hard 100easy the 400m hard 100easy all
the way to a peak at 800m then go back down. You get the drift, I would do
track work up to 3200m. (just like if I want to drop my 800m time on the swim I
would do 8 x 100m with 10 seconds rest under my set 100m pace time). If your
burst speed is not there you won't run faster, so maybe try a set of 8 x 100m
sub 15 seconds on each.
2. It seems like you have guts when it comes to the swim and ride. You just
have to learn to push your body to the limit when it comes to the run. When I
have a hard mile I always figure that ultra marathoners probably have a hard 10
or 20 consecutive miles. So if it doesn't kill them, it won't kill them. Only
push it if you are putting in the time. If you do your medium and long runs at
an easy pace twice and week, then train at race pace or do speed work on your
short run day you should be fine (lots of people will say don't push too hard,
I disagree; just no one wants to be responsible for your running injury.
Everyone you see winning their age groups is pushing insanely hard).
3. Try and bench mark at a sub 6 minute mile, then lead up to training at
that bench mark for 4 x 1600 on the track. This well help you get used to your
race pace. That will get you closer to taking out your age group.
4. Get something different for race day. Race shoes of some kind help, only
wear them on race day. I drop 10 seconds a mile when I am in my race shoes (I
am sure it's mental but I'll take the faster times).

Dealing With Unexpected Open-Water Swim Scenarios
- By Triathlete.com
- Published Nov 5, 2014
- Updated Jul 3, 2016 at 9:37 PM UTC
Pro triathlete Sarah Haskins is one of the fastest swimmers in the sport. She gives advice on what to do in a few swimming scenarios that can throw triathletes off track.
… I have trouble staying on course in open water?
Swimming in open water is very different from the pool, as waves and currents are possible and you don't have lane lines and black lines to help you swim straight. But there are techniques to help you stay on course. Every four to five strokes, I pick my head up out of the water to see where I am going. I always sight just before I take a breath, so the movement is more fluid. When I sight, I look for the swim buoys. But sometimes with large waves or choppy water, the buoys are difficult to see. To solve this problem, I will often look for large land markers over the buoys to help me sight the course. Sometimes the sun glare can be brutal, so make sure to wear tinted goggles. If you are behind someone, you can also follow the bubbles of their feet, which makes it very easy to sight. But make sure the person you are following is swimming in the right direction. Never blindly follow another swimmer!

Intramural Sports
The Recreational Programs Department operates under the premise that, in order to
excel academically, students need to have opportunities outside the classroom where
they can meet other students, socialize, develop leadership skills, and have the opportunity
for fun competition at the non-intercollegiate sport level. Intramural Sports is the
co-curricular program that complements the formal academic curriculum. We offer opportunities
to currently enrolled McKendree students, faculty, staff and their spouses/partners
in a number of competitive and structured activities each year. Participants have
fun, learn new sports, meet people from other cultures, test their physical ability,
and take a break from the everyday academic routine. Team sports generally take on
a league structure with a post-season tournament to determine champions.
Recreational Programs is a department of the Office of Student Affairs. Most activities are conducted at the Intramural (IM) Gym located on the north end of the Melvin Price Convocation Center (MPCC). Students are welcome to participate in intramural activities, take the initiative and organize an event or league on their own, or simply borrow some of the equipment we have if you prefer to play some kickball, wiffleball, or volleyball somewhere else on campus.
The Intramural Gym is available to the general student population when it is not in use for academic classes, athletic practices, or special activities and events. Usually, that equates to after 6:00pm on weekdays, but there are many times during the day when half of the gym will be available for student use. Students can check gym availability by looking at the two-week calendar posted at the stairs of the IM Gym, by calling 537-6420/6941, or by looking at the calendar available through your computer. Go to the McKendree internet home page and click on "My McK" on the top right. Under "Quick Links" on the right side of the page, click on "Calendars." Scroll down on the left side of the screen to "Athletic Fields Calendars" and click on a heading such as "Intramural Gym." You will be brought to a cluttered and virtually useless monthly display. Look to the top of the screen and under "Calendar Tools" click on "Calendar." Then, slide your cursor to the left and click on the "Week" tab. You can now view the Intramural Gym calendar for the current week. You can move forward or backward a week at a time by clicking on the arrows on the top left side of the calendar. The IM Gym is open until 11:00pm Sunday-Thursday. On Friday, we close at 8:00pm. On Saturday, the hours are 4:00pm-8:00pm and on Sunday, we open at 4:00pm and go until 11:00pm.
If Federal Work Study is included in your financial aid package, you may apply for student employment at a variety of locations across campus to include Student Recreation at the Intramural Gym or at our Fitness Center. Stop by either location to apply.
Race Day at McKendree - McKendree University currently hosts two major running events each year. The "Ramble into Spring" 5K/10K/10-Mile Run is in March and the "Harvest Challenge" 5K and half marathon is in September. You can be part of the fun by (1) participating in the event, (2) volunteering to help with the event, or (3) serving in a leadership role as a member of our Race Day staff.

The Death of Emperor Commodus
This work is an exemplary illustration of a single subject depicted in a variety of formats, a custom inherited from the academic tradition.
A very complete sketch or replica aimed at the private market, The Death of Emperor Commodus is a faithful copy of the large painting exhibited at the Salon in 1879. The evocation of the tragic but trivial end of the Emperor, a despot assassinated on the orders of his mistress Marcia, can be interpreted in the context of the consolidation of the Republican regime, and as a denunciation of the impasses of the Roman autocracy. This terrible yet edifying subject was rewarded at the Salon with a 2nd class medal and was purchased by the State (for Béziers Museum).
When painting a small format replica, Pelez was keen to introduce a number of minute variations. In another version in a very similar format (H. 61 x W. 40 cm), which went on sale to the public in Drouot in 1992, Marcia's henchman is black.
The Death of Emperor Commodus combined a Pompeian décor in the neo-Greek style and a fight scene treated in a more realistic way. Pelez's contemporaries did not fail to point out this irruption of realism in the treatment of the figures, and found it amusing that the model for the strangler in charge of executing Commodus was a former fairground wrestler who was well-known in the studios of Montmartre.

Offshore Wind Power Moves Ahead in Massachusetts and Rhode Island
January 21, 2009
Although the United States is a leader in wind power technology, it does not yet have an offshore wind plant such as this one, which is located off the coast of Arklow, Ireland.
The U.S. Department of Interior's Minerals Management Service (MMS) has published a favorable environmental review of the proposed 420-megawatt Cape Wind offshore wind project, opening the door for the agency to grant a lease for the project. The proposed project would be located in federal waters in Nantucket Sound, off the coast of Massachusetts. The MMS released its Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the project on January 16. The FEIS found significant benefits from the construction of the Cape Wind offshore wind energy project and identified no major environmental impacts from the project. The MMS also noted that the proposed location is superior to alternative sites, that the project will generate jobs and support businesses in New England, that it will help Massachusetts to meet its renewable energy requirements, and that it will significantly reduce regional emissions of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants.
According to Cape Wind, the MMS Record of Decision on granting a lease to the company could come within 30 days of the FEIS release. The company earned approval from the Massachusetts Energy Facilities Siting Board back in 2005, and won additional approval from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs in 2007. Cape Wind officials hope to complete the permitting process by March, allowing construction to finally begin. When complete, the Cape Wind project is expected to supply 75% of the electricity needs of Cape Cod and its neighboring islands. See the project overview and press release from Cape Wind, and the FEIS from the MMS.
Offshore wind power is also making progress in Rhode Island, as the state has signed a joint development agreement with Deepwater Wind Rhode Island, LLC to develop wind power facilities off the state's coast. Under the agreement, the state will identify a number of approved sites for offshore wind power, and Deepwater Wind will be first in line to select one of those sites for development. The company plans to initially build a 20-megawatt facility in state waters, with construction starting in late 2010 and finishing in June 2012. The company will then pursue a lease from the MMS to build a facility in federal waters that can generate enough electricity each year to meet 15% of the state's power needs. That project is expected to cost more than $1.5 billion. As part of the agreement, Deepwater Wind will build a facility in Quonset to manufacture the wind turbine support structures and related parts. See the press release from Rhode Island Governor Richard Carcieri.

OAKLAND -- The A's threw almost everything they had at the Texas Rangers on Wednesday in an attempt to avoid a three-game sweep and hang on to first place in the American League West.
Despite playing at home and under the sun -- the A's entered the game with a league-best 8-1 mark in day games -- and with young stud Sonny Gray on the mound, the A's still got outplayed in a 3-0 loss at the Coliseum.
In the process, the Rangers moved into first place in the A.L. West. They are one-half game ahead of the A's, who departed Wednesday afternoon for a 10-game road trip that includes three games against the Rangers.
"They just beat us; not much you can say about that," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "They played better than we did and deserved to win. We just have to put it past us and get on the road and get a win under our belt and start rolling again."
The A's had many things working in their favor Wednesday. They just didn't have an answer for Rangers left-hander Martin Perez, and that trumped the A's vocal home crowd of 18,340, their recent history of playing well in the day and Gray's six-game win streak.
"We just ran into a really hot guy today," Gray said of Perez, who improved to 4-0, while Gray dropped to 3-1.
Perez is about as hot as they come right now. His three-hitter marked his second straight shutout and third straight outing in which he pitched at least eight innings without allowing a run.
Gray pitched well enough to keep the A's in the game through his seven innings. He allowed five hits and four walks as well as all three Rangers runs.
"Overall, I felt pretty good," Gray said. "It was just a tough day at the park."
Melvin said Perez proved adept at keeping hitters off balance and from making contact with the barrel of the bat on a consistent basis.
"He and the catcher were in sync and mixed it up enough to where even if you had a beat on him, the next time up he pitched a little differently," Melvin said. "You have to give him some credit. We didn't look too good, but the reason for it was probably him."
A's third baseman Josh Donaldson had one of the three hits off Perez, a double in the seventh. The A's lone threat came that inning, when Derek Norris walked and brought the potential tying run to the plate.
However, Perez induced Alberto Callaspo to hit into an inning-ending fielder's choice.
"He pitched well," Donaldson said. "We hit some balls hard on the ground but, obviously, that's what they're trying to do. Their defense played well behind him, too."
"We'll do the best we can with the matchups we can to try to finish off the game," Melvin said before Wednesday's game. "That's kind of where we are ... at this point."
On Tuesday, Luke Gregerson came one out away from notching his fourth save. Instead, he walked away with his third blown save in six opportunities, as well as the loss, after he allowed two runs in a 5-4 defeat.
Melvin sounded confident that Gregerson has the proper makeup to make it through rough patches.
"Certain guys need some coddling," Melvin said. "He's not one of them."
Just the same, he added, enough time has passed since he was traded to the Rangers in December that the novelty has worn off somewhat.
"Yeah, it was nice," Choice said. "It was a good feeling. Once I got up there, I was just trying to get the run in. At the end of the day, it's another game in a long season. We'll see those guys a lot in the future."
Choice started again Wednesday and batted leadoff against the team that selected him in the first round of the 2010 draft. He walked, singled, reached on an error, scored a run and drove in a run.

Who could resist trying a taste of a veggie tower, made with couscous or rice, peas, corn, and any other veggies you have around? The presentation makes it almost impossible.
Watch all your favorite shows weekdays on Nick Jr.
Spray six paper cups with nonstick cooking oil.
Fill each cup with about the same amount of peas.
Spoon 3 tablespoons of the rice or couscous over the peas and press down with a spoon to make level.
Add a layer of red pepper to each cup. Then, on top of the peppers, add another layer of rice, pressing down on the mixture.
Top with the corn. Press down again.
Place a small piece of wax paper on top of each cup and microwave on high power until the mixture is heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Place a saucer or plate over the cups and flip over, so the cup is upside down. Let the cups stand for about 5 minutes.
Give the cups a few taps and gently lift them off the Towers.

KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Nepalese mountaineering officials say they are investigating reports of a fight between three foreign climbers and local Sherpa guides on Mount Everest.
Dipendra Poudel of the Mountaineering Department said the three climbers — from Italy, Switzerland and Britain — were involved in arguments with some Sherpa guides on Sunday.
Poudel says both sides accuse each other of starting the fight, adding mountaineering officials based at the Everest base camp were investigating the incident.
Sherpa guides hired by the hundreds of Western climbers attempting to climb the world's highest mountain are the first ones to fix the ropes on the routes so their clients can climb to the peak.
The Sherpas are accusing the foreign climbers of starting the fight.

Morrisons Must Get Online Fast to Bolster Sales
Not long ago Wm Morrison (Morrisons to shoppers) was being lauded for its slow and steady approach to going online and not expanding its stores to include vast aisles of non-food that its rivals were struggling to shift. But after a 2.5% fall in festive sales Monday, while the non-food debate still has legs, the online question is becoming difficult to defend.
By chief executive Dalton Philips ' own admission online grocery sales are growing at 20% a year (according to Kantar Research) making a strong case for having a good offer. But in the same breath he reminds reporters on a conference call Monday that online is still only 5% of the grocery market so Morrisons isn't "too late to the party" and can benefit from "late mover advantage", bypassing the pitfalls of trial and error and jumping straight into profitability. Mr. Dalton said he'd unveil Morrisons' online grocery plans in March.
Still Tesco, Sainsbury and Asda have been delivering to our doorsteps for years, with an established infrastructure and millions in investment behind them. When the cautious laggard that is Morrisons finally starts to move, it's going to take time and money for it to tap into the rich vein of online and convenience, which may in turn start to hurt its long-protected profits.
More immediately, re-burnishing Morrisons' image is top priority for the newly-promoted group marketing and customer director Nick Collard. All the supermarket groups are promoting hard to lure increasingly savvy shoppers into their stores, and, according to Mr. Philips, even a "buy 1 packet of Pringles, get 2 free" offer isn't going to cut it these days.
Mr. Collard has enlisted Geordie TV duo Ant & Dec to reconnect with the Saturday night prime time public and there are plans to highlight Morrisons' butcher/baker/fishmonger skills as a "point of difference". But Shore Capital's Clive Black wonders if the general public really care. "We harbor considerable concerns about how much Morrisons' vertical integration really matters to the consumer in general," he said.
Deutsche Bank James Collins agrees: "We think, in the current climate in particular, that customer behavior won't be heavily-influenced at the margin by more awareness of provenance, points of difference, etc and that historic attempts to drive this as a point of difference did not yield much response."
None of the supermarkets can count on an upswing in economic fortunes to help consumers out of their austere fug, and the discounters know this, so privately-held discounters like Aldi and Lidl are upping their game and stealing a few inches from everyone.
Morrisons' problems are not insurmountable. The company has the strongest balance sheet in the sector according to Charles Stanley analyst Sam Hart. And the retail carousel plays on, as one star ascends, another falls.
But Morrisons has been pulling its self-help levers for several years now, containing costs, improving efficiencies and it can only go on for so long, according to Rahul Sharma, managing director of investment firm Neev Capital and a retail expert. He believes that ultimately the sales decline and investment required to turn the business around is going to affect profits, and this is just the start of "death by a thousand [profit] forecast cuts."

The D-Link AirPremier DWL-3200AP is a powerful and reliable wireless access point for business-class enterprise environments. Designed for indoor installation, this access point provides secure options for network administrators to deploy a highly manageable and extremely robust wireless network. Enclosed in a plenum metal chassis, the DWL-3200AP adheres to strict fire codes and ensures complete safety. This access point supports 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) and provides two high-gain antennas for optimal wireless coverage.
The DWL-3200AP delivers extremely reliable wireless performance with standard 802.11g wireless throughput rates of up to 54Mbps. It has the added capability of reaching maximum wireless signal rates of up to 108Mbps (Turbo mode) powered by D-Link 108G technology. At the same time, the DWL- 3200AP remains fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standards.
Since wireless security remains a strong concern among businesses, the DWL-3200AP provides the latest wireless security technologies by supporting both WPA Enterprise and 802.1x to ensure complete network protection. In addition, the DWL-3200AP currently comes 802.11i-ready to fully support industrial grade wireless security.
Network administrators can manage all the DWL-3200AP's settings via its web-based configuration utility or with Telnet. For advanced network management, the administrators can use D-Link's AP Manager or D-View SNMP management module to configure and manage multiple access points from a single location. In addition to a streamlined management process, network administrators can also verify and conduct regular maintenance checks without wasting resources by sending personnel out to physically verify proper operation.
To maximize total return on investment, the DWL-3200AP can be configured to operate as an access point (AP mode), a point-to-point bridge or a point-to-multipoint bridge (WDS mode). In the WDS mode, the DWL-3200AP communicates only with wireless bridges, without allowing for wireless clients or stations to access them.
The DWL-3200AP supports multiple SSIDs, allowing you to separate applications based on security and performance requirements. You can enable encryption and authentication on one SSID to protect private applications and no security on another SSID to maximize open connectivity for public usage. Multiple SSIDs means you can mix and match the broadcasting of SSIDs. For public Internet access applications, you can broadcast the SSID to enable user radio cards to automatically find available access points. For private applications, you can disable SSID broadcast to prevent intruders from identifying your network. You can set the number of users that can associate via a particular SSID to control usage of particular applications. This can help provide a somewhat limited form of bandwidth control for particular applications.
By supporting multiple SSIDs, the DWL-3200AP allows you to logically divide your access point into several virtual access points all within a single hardware platform. Rather than having two separate WLANs, you can deploy one access point to support more than one application, such as public Internet access and internal network control to increase flexibility and keep costs down.

He's just 15 months old, but little Chase Boydstun is getting used to getting vaccinated. His mom, Ginger, wouldn't have it any other way.
"Just went ahead and did it without thinking about it 'cause I knew he had to have it," she says.
Dr. Larry Deeb says these days most parents don't question vaccines. He thinks that's a change since September 11.
He says, "Before then there were a few kids' parents worried about it, worried about vaccines, maybe side effects. Since then, never hear it."
Vaccines for tuberculosis, measles, and hepatitis are commonplace, though not risk-free. It's a different, and riskier. Vaccine for grownups is getting attention these days.
Smallpox. The question? Whether the shot is worth the risk. It's a question hundreds of Leon County Sheriff's Department employees like Linda Butler must answer, as the state begins smallpox vaccinations for First Responders.
"Once you take the shot, have a chance of exposing family member to virus at that point, you have to take precautions for up to 30 days," she says.
Plus, workers' compensation may not cover deputies who get sick from the vaccine. Last seen in 1977, smallpox is far deadlier than its cousin chickenpox, with pustules deep-seeded in the skin, killing up to 30 percent of patients, scarring the rest for life. Officials like Dr. Marjorie Kirsch were vaccinated earlier this year.
There are currently no plans to vaccinate the general public.
"It will depend on perceived risk of us being exposed to smallpox and as we find out
About safety of vaccine, that will influence the decision," says Dr. Kirsch.
It's a vaccination decision that could be much tougher one day for moms and dads. For now, that day is a long way away.
Smallpox vaccine is currently not recommended for anyone under age 18. It's also not for people with heart problems, skin conditions, weakened immune systems or those undergoing cancer treatment. People who have close contact with persons falling into those high-risk categories might also be advised not to take the vaccine.

UT woman's flushed wedding ring rescued from sewer
Published: Monday, July 15, 2013 at 7:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 15, 2013 at 7:43 a.m.
LEHI, Utah (AP) — A Lehi woman's wedding ring has been rescued from sewer lines after her young son flushed it down the toilet.
City officials say after the distressed mother reported the incident, a water department crew responded and ran a snake down two of the sewer's main lines.
The crew located the ring, then washed it down to a nearby manhole, where an employee retrieved the ring.
City water department employee Weston Winters says the crew has had the opportunity to retrieve valuables for residents over the years, and it's always rewarding when it can retrieve such a sentimental object for someone who thought they lost it forever.
Public Works Director Todd Munger praised the crew, saying it preserved "a very special memory that will undoubtedly be the topic of many family reunions."
