2d3 is a company that makes software for the visual effects industry based on the work I did at Oxford. We won an Emmy award in 2002 for the automatic camera tracker boujou.
Boujou helps 3D animators to glue special effects to a live-action background. Just by studying a sequence of images, it can compute the 3D motion of the camera that took the sequence. Knowing the 3D camera motion lets animators insert 3D objects into the scene without needing to use virtual stop-motion techniques to cope with a moving camera.
It has been used in pretty much every major effects movie and TV series since April 2001, including "Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", and even movies with less visible effects such as "Bridget Jones's Diary".

Thursday is the National Day of Prayer and major events are planned at the U.S. Capitol.
But unlike the last eight years of the Bush administration, the White House will not hold a big event. The Bible reading has begun from Genesis to Revelation as hundreds have come to the U.S. Capitol this week to read the Bible cover to cover in honor of Thursday's National Day of Prayer.
Click play to watch the report from CBN News White House Correspondent David Brody. Shirley Dobson, chairman of the Nat'l Day of Prayer, also explains why this is not a time for the White House to be casual about a day of prayer.
The event became law back in 1952.
Congressman Randy Forbes is leading events this week on Capitol Hill.
"How would this nation be different? How would we have weathered those storms if we hadn't prayed, if we hadn't been a nation of people who had that kind of faith," he asked. "I would suggest that it would be markedly different and not in a positive way."
The event has typically had a very Judeo-Christian feel and of course many conservatives in Congress believe it should be that way because of the religious heritage of the nation. But the president caused a little controversy recently with his remarks in Turkey.
"We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation; we consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values," Obama said.
Those comments did not sit well with Forbes who chastised the president in a recent newspaper editorial.
"We just respectfully disagree with the president and we invite him and others who think that they've strayed from those principles to come back and look at them again and restudy the birth of this nation and where we are today, the principles that made us great and keep us great as we go through these difficult times that we're facing as a nation," he said.
The president's comments also were taken to task by Christian groups on Youtube.
For the last eight years during the Bush administration, the National Day of Prayer received the royal treatment. There was a big event at the White House with conservative Christian leaders.
Not this time.
The White House tells CBN News that events by President Bush were really the exception and that Obama will do what presidents in the past have typically done, and sign a proclamation Thursday.
Meanwhile, Capitol Hill related events will go on including a formal resolution introduced in Congress this week reaffirming America's important religious history.

why the hell did the astros trade wheeler for wiggington? i know it's deck chairs on the titanic for both those teams right now, but wouldn't you rather have blah bullpen arm than a blah corner position player?
couldn't you at least get a "C" prospect for wheeler instead of someone who is a known, and crappy, entity?

Wiggington is an above
Wiggington is an above average offensive second baseman. With Biggio retiring and Burke not very good this is a good pickup for Houston if they play at 2b. As a corner guy he is average (actually would be a vast improvement in RF for us), but honestly Wheeler is a average pen guy. Wiggington is more valuable than some C prospect.
Nice to hear from you again,
Nice to hear from you again, Ruz. We all wish it were more often, but heck, Cubdom is happy nowadays and not much to complain about.
Dear Cubsfanswhowroteoffthisseasonbeforeitreallybegan,
I just have 2 words for you: EAT CROW! Don't worry, though, it's the sweet kind of crow that goes down easily. It's called winning baseball. Let's keep this up for the remainder of the season. Go Cubs!
Impressions from GABP last
Impressions from GABP last night:
* Could not believe it, but there seemed to be a 1:1 ratio of Cincy fans and Reds fans. I can only assume there are a lot of Cub fans in the Cincy & surrounding area. I know some of them came from Chicago, but I have a hard time believing all of them did. I drove from Ft. Wayne, In.
* Jacque Jones made up for his lack of offense by making some pretty amazing plays in the OF.
* This might be a "duh", but Cincinnati fans are not thrilled with Adam Dunn one bit.
* Cub's base coaching is really sloppy at 3B. I can't see the Cub's going into the playoffs with such sloppy base coaching. You just can't do that.
* It's always good to see an active HOF player who everyone still respects. Jr, one of the game's "good guys". The ovation he received was well deserved.
* GABP itself was nice (never been there before), but I had a couple points of contention with the experience there:
1. Re: the cheerleaders, I've always been on the side of the fence of, ahh whatever, if they want to do that, fine. I was there with 4 buddies of mine and it just didn't seem right. There were a ton of kids in the crowd and it was just kind of awkward. Two thumbs down on the cheerleaders. I've decided it's not for baseball, especially the Cincinnati area.
2. Re: the jumbotron. I've always thought if they wanted to put a jumbotron up at Wrigley, that would be fine with me, but I'll tell you I was watching the jumbotron when Soriano hit his 2nd home run. Not only is it distracting, but the animations they use at GABP on the jumbotron were cheesy and generally terrible. The most amusing part was the Kiss-cam.
Everything else was really nice there. If anyone goes, I highly recommend hitting Nicholson's, it's an Irish pub a few blocks away from the park.
"Floyd gets the day off, yet

Generally speaking, when a player is on the block they showcase him on the field, not the bench. Do they not?

while i would like to see murton play, i wonder how much of this has to do with the poor defense that seemed to annoy lou earlier in the year. i remember murton making a couple of really bad plays just before he was sent down.

Put it another way, Pagan is certainly on the block. But maybe someone is interested.
Pagan hitting .280/.290: trade him while he's hot.
Only trade Pagan if you
Only trade Pagan if you can't trade Jones. Pagan is the perfect 4th OF. Jones would be the perfect 4th OF except he gets paid like a starter.
"Generally speaking, when a
"Generally speaking, when a player is on the block they showcase him on the field, not the bench. Do they not?"
When a trade is immient the player in question usally sits to advoid injury. With his late scratch yesterday and not playing today when Lou said coming into this series that Murt would get a start leads me to think he is in escrow.
A more innocent explanation
A more innocent explanation of who's playing/who's not is that Jones in oh-for-Cincy, so Pagan is playing, and DeRosa is ahead of Murton on Lou's depth chart for RF. Murton was penciled in last night because DeRosa was already playing at third. Then Floyd asked in.

Wiggington is an above average offensive second baseman. With Biggio retiring and Burke not very good this is a good pickup for Houston if they play at 2b. As a corner guy he is average (actually would be a vast improvement in RF for us), but honestly Wheeler is a average pen guy. Wiggington is more valuable than some C prospect.
CHIFAN: Looks like the Astros got Ty Wigginton to be their everyday 3B, since they just DFA'd Morgan Ensberg.
Also, Dan Wheeler's days in HOU were probably numbered after he got into that one-way shoving match with Chris Sampson a couple of weeks ago (Sampson was just trying console Wheeler after he blew Sampson's lead, and Wheeler went off on him). And of course the D-Rays are absolutely desperate for bullpen help.
Lou just said that Murt will
Lou just said that Murt will get plenty of playing time next week. He wanted Fonty's left handed bat in the lineup today, moving DeRosa from 2B to RF and Murton to the bench.
RUZ! Welcome back! It's
Welcome back! It's great to see you. The writing staff here is incredible these days in case you haven't been following very closely. Having you post on occasion would really be icing on the cake.
Some observations:
*I have to pinch myself that there's a chance we could be a half a game out at day's end.
*Big Z could have 14 wins before August. Really?
*Two days until the deadline. I'm guessing Hendry does not make any moves that qualify as more than minor tinkering--at most one reliever and one bat off of the bench. *The reliever may not even be necessary if the pitcher who shall remain nameless (Let's just call him Carey Would) actually can contribute to the team this season.
*Rocky Cherry has a future with this team it's just probably not this season in any pivotal situation. I'd love to be wrong.
*We now have the RallyRuz. Playoffs here we come.
Could our offense be more
Could our offense be more mediocre this year?Here's the average line (for players and teams) in the National League as of this morning:
.262 .329 .412 .741
the Cubs line
.269(5th) .329(8th) .411(8th) .740(8th)
correlating perfectly with our OPS is our runs scored: 476(8th)
VAPHIL: "Put it another way,
VAPHIL: "Put it another way, Pagan is certainly on the block. But maybe someone is interested."
I do not agree with this. He is a wonderful 4th outfielder, fast, nice in the field, and has pop.
In hearing two interviews with Mark DeRosa (what a cool, engaging, funny guy) he went out of his way to compliment Pagan on his overall skills and feels he is underappreciated.
He is too valuable to the club now and has earned a spot on the roster to go in a marginal trade. Imo, it would be Murton who'd be shipped in a deal.
Welcome back Ruz! I do not
Welcome back Ruz!
I do not agree with this. He is a wonderful 4th outfielder, fast, nice in the field, and has pop.
Pagan is fast, but not nice in the field. His defense is actually pretty lousy, but he is able to make up for some things with his speed/athleticism. He takes TERRIBLE routes to balls and has at times looked quite silly out there.
A little bit off topic here,
A little bit off topic here, but I found this amusing. Check out the Cubs team page for the Japanese version of mlb.com here: http://mlb.yahoo.co.jp/team/profile/?c=24
I know most of you don't read Japanese, but check out the section in the middle of the page with the pictures. The heading says "Principal Players". There is a certain #22 in an I-Cubs hat. Priceless.
You'd think that's because they haven't updated in a while, but Soriano's right there with him. They also have "owner" as "Andy McPhail," though. That site needs updating big time.

The umpires just robbed Soriano of a 2 run Home run but they called fan interferance. Because Zambrano was not hustling around the bases the umpire would not award him home plate on (according to the umpire) a ruled double.

Z was almost walking from 1st to 2nd...that lack of a run was his own fault in that specific part of the situation.

ESPN 1000 is reporting that
ESPN 1000 is reporting that a deal that would send Murton and a couple of prospects to the Reds is taking shape. The cubs are said to have "no interest" in acquiring Adam Dunn and ESPN is speculating that the Cubs have made a "strong push" towards acquiring Griffey Jr. and have offered the Reds a "very attractive package of players" that could send Pie along with Murton and a couple of pitching prospects. They also speculated that this could be a three way trade or the Reds could be offering Arroyo up if the Reds get Hill, Pie, Murton, and a prospect but that seems unlikely. If the deal goes thru it wont be finalized until after the Reds/Cubs series which ends Sunday.
the reds wouldnt dare pull
the reds wouldnt dare pull anything like that til the cubs left town...but then again look who the reds GM is...hey, he got hamilton right.

ooof...3 K for Koyeeee Hill

Well, Mark DeRosa, as well as Cubs beat reporters would strongly disagree with you. Unless you see him in-person often, I would take your "route to balls" theory your own. Of course, you did not want the DeRosa signing to even happen, right?

Instead of using Hill, Murt, and Pie to get Griffey maybe we should wait to the offseason and see if Schuerholtz would take those guys for McCann if the Salty/ Tex trade talks fall through. Lou is noted to be tough on his catchers and I wonder if its because how close he was to Munson (he gave the eugology at his funeral) that he wants his catcher to be a reflection of Munson. McCann is the one MLB catcher who is a Munson clone. Hits for a high average with some pop, great defender, and a team leader. With ATL's money issues maybe if they think Salty and McCann are near equal talents they will take a drop talent at C to add 3 quality cheap players.

my point? my point is that as long as we keep winning, its too late for the cards to 'out win' us.

Chad, with you on that. Trolls suck, indeed. Do you remember that psycho Seahawks fan after the first Bears playoff game coming over to WCG? Also hear you on The Other Cubs Blog Which Shall Go Nameless. Some real dickweeds over there - any time you express snark over a stupid f'ing play by the Cubs they get all pissed off like you've insulted their mommy and daddy. I love the Cubs, but damn, if they make a dumb play I've got to talk about the elephant in the room.
I measure my Cubs mania by
I measure my Cubs mania by how frequently I go looking for news articles. It's been ramping up the past few weeks, and with us only being half game back and with the trade deadline, it seems like I'm now constantly scanning the newswire.
We're now ahead of MKE in the loss column. Far freaking out.
"Should we be concerned that
"Should we be concerned that the Breweres have woken up a sleeping giant in St. Louis."
check out that pitching and breathe easy.
outside of duncan/pujols there's not a lot to fear in the lineup aside from some interesting mid-level lineup pieces like encarcenon/rolen (sorry, rolen just isnt what he was) and a buncha singles hitters like eck/miles/kennedy...
that pitching, though...phew...wow...ugg...

John Steinbeck once wrote "it is not good to want a thing too much. It drives away the luck." I'm cool with that, though, because I'm not a big believer in luck.
Besides the fact that they lost both games of the double-header last night, and lost a 4-game series with the struggling Reds, the Brewers have suffered some heartbreaking individual losses at a time in the season where they are expecting to perform.
Exhibit 1 -- The comeback win the Rox staged on the first game back from the ASB.
Exhibit 2 -- The dramatic 5-2 win the DBacks took on July 18. The score remained 2-2 nearly the entire game until the 8th when youngster Mike Reynolds hit a 3-run shot.
Exhibit 3 -- The comeback win SF took on July 20th.
Exhibit 4 -- Valentine's dramatic walk-off single in the 12th to beat Milwaukee on July 23rd.
Exhibit 5 -- The walk-off home run Jr. hit to take the 3rd game of the series from the Brewers on July 26th.
Exhibit 6 -- Despite being up 5-0 against the Cards today, the Cards come back and win it 9-5.
It's been a heart-breaker ever since the ASB for Milwaukee and it can't feel good if you are a Brewer.

LITTLE NATE: I agree with Rosenthal.
If they couldn't complete the Zambrano extention because ownership is in limbo, how can the Cubs hope to take on Ken Griffey Jr's mega-contract?
Junior is making $12.5M per year through 2009 (or a $4M buy-out for '09). So he's owed about $4M for the rest of this season, $12.5M next year, and at least another $4M (if the contract buy-out option is exercised for 2009 post-'08).
If Hendry does indeed have the OK to commit that kind of cash post-2007, then why wasn't the Zambrano extention completed?

I sense some sympathy for the Brewers death spiral. I'm too old and blue for sympathy on any level for any team. Not after what this team has put me through.
Besides, the Brewers are the team of the future. It's pretty much a lock they'll win the division within the next three years.
It's a really good young ball club.
O&B: That team is a lock
That team is a lock for nothing. They have 2 stars in Braun and Fielder and out side of oft injured Ben Sheets their pitching sucks. The got lucky for a couple of months but now the mirrors are shattered and the smoke has cleared. JJ Hardy is showing that he's NOT going to hit 30+ homers ever (18 in the first half) and Ricky Weeks and Bill hall are good players but nothing special.
They still have GOFF (sic) Jenkins and Corey Hart in the outfiled and excuse me if that doesn't excite me.
This was their one year and they lost it. Turbow is turning back into the pumpkin he is and Cordero is a decent closer but far from the guy he was in texas.

For some perspective, here are some charts of how the NL Central teams are tracking against the .500 mark: Season to date and Since June 1.
So was this ESPN 1000 report
So was this ESPN 1000 report (see post #35) simply a one-time B.S. statement, or have they been mentioning this rumor throughout the day?
Anyone had the station on today?
Good question, LNL. I've
Good question, LNL. I've been wondering the same thing. That's kind of a big time rumor for ESPN 1000 to report and then apparently drop. Is there more news?
Dont know if this was
Dont know if this was mentioned but this is from espn.
Zambrano left the game with cramps in his right calf after striking out pinch-hitter Norris Hopper leading off the eighth inning.
"Any time I can do anything -- hitting, running the bases, kicking the ball -- I've got to use my God-given ability," Zambrano said.
well the one thing the
well the one thing the Brewers haven't missed so far is Ben Sheets...
Griffey would look good in
Griffey would look good in RF and solidify us there, but it depends on who is included in the package.
Regardless of his recent injury history, the guy is 37 years old (despite his "Jr." status) and is a fraction of the player he was in Seattle. This is the guy who was supposed to break all the records. He's living off his past reputation, because he's not that player anymore.
Murton or Jones certainly are tradable, but giving up both R. Hill and Pie would be tremendously expensive. With Griffey's fat contract, that makes signing Zambrano more complicated. Big-Z is much more valuable commodity.
Also, Hill is a better pitcher that Arroyo any day of the week. Given the "average" offense of the Cubs, it's clear that pitching is why they are in contention. Why give it away?
Dusty Baker (broadcasting
Dusty Baker (broadcasting with John Miller and Orel Hershiser on the ESPN Sunday night game) recalled that he was on deck when Hank Aaron hit #715 (true) and that they stopped play to celebrate it (true). Dusty then claimed that when he came to bat, he heard "clank clank clank clank" -- the sounds of chairs folding up as people left (probably true :). He then claimed that he hit a double (false according to retrosheet).
BRAVES 4TH: Evans reached on an error by Russell; Aaron homered
[Evans scored (unearned)]; Aaron's 715th to pass Ruth - 11
minute delay for celebration; Baker walked...
He then told an interesting story I'd never heard before. I found an article on the web where Dusty had told it previously:
"What impressed me," Baker said, "is how calm and focused and determined and driven he was, especially with all the death threats. People don't believe the scope of it, but I was there. I remember one night, Hank said, 'There's a guy here in a red coat who's gonna shoot me. You better not sit next to me.'
"Me and Ralph [Garr] sat with him anyway. Hank didn't look around at all. I was the one looking around, and if I saw anybody in a red coat, I was ducking. The guy of course never showed up, but that whole game we were scared."
Now that I read further, I see that he also claims in that web article to have hit a double. Either he's nuts or retrosheet is wrong.
Of course, the two aren't mutually exclusive...
Sorry about the duplicate
Sorry about the duplicate posting.
I agree with you Chad, on
I agree with you Chad, on the Brewers meltdown..not for the same reasons, nut I do agree. The Brew Crew is a year ahead of schedule, maybe 2...
Corey Hart: .284/.353/.516...16HR, 44 RBI, 16/20 SB
Cliff Floyd: .294/.357/.397, 4 HR 33 RBI, 0/0 SB.
I'll take Hart.
Beat the Phillies Cubs...C'mon!!!!!
Hey Roy Hobbs, We are not
Hey Roy Hobbs,
We are not trading for 1997 Jr. we are trading for a guy who this year has hit:
.274 .387 .531 with 25 home runs
He has more homers than our big three. Our big three who are in the prime of their career.
Jr would be a great player for us. I just don't want to sell the farm for him.
Dusty, Corey Hart is a nice
Dusty, Corey Hart is a nice player. But I don't think he's special. And Cliff Floyd is really a stop gap measure. You should be comparing Hart to Soriano.
Chad, I completely agree.
I completely agree. 1997 Griffey was made of unobtanium. 2007 Griffey is a solid but overpaid injury risk. I would enjoy having him on the team, but I don't want to see the Cubs get "Nomar-ed" again. Anyway the Cubs won a ton of games without hitting a HR.
I can see trading Jones, Murton, Pagan, and maybe even Pie or Marshall. But any trade of Rich Hill is a mistake, and I don't think Hendry would make that call. I also would hate to see Soto leave in any moves. I'm anxious to see the kid play.
Nat, Right now I think we
Right now I think we agree with each other. I wouldn't trade Rich Hill either. I would trade Gallagher and Murton for Griffey.
Realistically I think
Realistically I think Griffey's worth more to the Reds than anyone else, which makes him unlikely to be traded.
It seems unlikely to me,
It seems unlikely to me, too. I am pretty sure that, of the names frequently mentioned to be on the block, Griffey is the only one I would want for the Cubs.
Griffey isn't going anywhere
Griffey isn't going anywhere kids. He's within closing distance of 600 HRs and he's the only reason why people show up for games here in the Natti. Dunn has worn out his welcome, but he's nearly impossible to deal due to his pending free-agency if dealt. The only Reds players that can/will be dealt are Hatteberg, Conine, and Lohse.
Even the 2007 version of
Even the 2007 version of Griffey would be a nice fit into the line up. It would provide a respected bat in the 5 spot of the line up. If a package of Murton, top level pitching prospect (Gallagher) and a good lower level prospect will make it happen, then roll the dice.
I agree that Rich Hill and Marshall are too valuable to this team to trade, especially without Z signed for next year and the lack of any quality starters on the market.
I don't recall the Nomar deal being that costly to the Cubs. Cubs got Nomar and Murton and gave up A-Gon, Francis Beltran and Brendan Harris if I recall correctly. I'll take Griffey in a similar deal.
Would've been nice if
Would've been nice if Seattle tanked and Jose Guillen was available. With them still in it in the AL West, not sure there's a "perfect" player out there for the Cubs. (Money, who we need to give up, fit in the lineup/field/clubhouse/etc.)
Phil mentioned Mark Sweeney as a pinch-hitter, which might be nice, since he wouldn't cost a lot of talent, but in terms of an impact guy, the ship probably sailed.
If Griffey doesn't leave
If Griffey doesn't leave Cinnci, he will never see the post-season. I firmly believe that if he wants out of Cinnci, they will deal him.
This says it all: DM CUB
This says it all:
DM CUB DFAN: "I agree that Rich Hill and Marshall are too valuable to this team to trade, especially without Z signed for next year and the lack of any quality starters on the market."
I agree 100%
I dont buy this Griffey
I dont buy this Griffey rumor because why would only Levine be reporting this. The only way I think this could happen is if Griffey has asked out, but doesn't want the media to report anything because he does not want to deal with trade watch. Griffey has a good relationship with the press so maybe they respect his wishes. ESPN 1000 will have local updates starting sometime between 5:20-6 during a commerical break during Mike & Mike.
You don't call Jason
You don't call Jason Jennings a quality starter?
Old Man Gammons just said
Old Man Gammons just said Bobby Kielty to the Cubs possilby. Thoughts? I didn't know much about him but I looked him up and he is a switch hitter who hits lefties really well. .509 slugging? That's pretty cool.
Upon further investigation
Upon further investigation here is Kielty's career numbers vs. lefties:
676 AB (about 1 full season) 200 H 54 2b 30 hrs 109 RBIs 85 bb
Really good numbers.
You don't call Jason
You don't call Jason Jennings a quality starter?
You mean Jason Jennings and his 5.99 ERA? Who in his last four years has had ERA+ of 93, 99, 127, and 77 (100 is average)?
Yea... not very quailty.

Wait...ok Chad. Hart vs. Soriano
Soriano:.298/.338/.524, 18 HR 42 RBI, 15/19 SB, 71 R. 31 years old
Hart.280/.350/.510, 16 HR, 44 RBI, 16/20 SB, 54 R
Moved to Leadoff May 30th. 25 years old.
Hmm...ok. I'll take Hart, and put him in RF..
Over Soriano? No....but in RF, absolutely.
Recent comments
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er
zobrist with 2HR and a double through 8
heyward 0-4 :(

You wouldn't think of buying a house and then renting it to yourself. Why would you ever want to charter your own aircraft?
August 1, 2011
July 1, 2011
One of the first consequences of the 2008 Wall Street meltdown was the overnight disappearance of capital. At the time, many aircraft lenders still proclaimed that they were "ready to do deals," but often they lacked the financial horsepower to deliver on that promise.
July 1, 2011
When BJT's 2010 Buyers' Guide appeared a year ago, all signs suggested a shift toward an aviation insurance market characterized by increasing premiums, restricted coverage availability and more rigid underwriting criteria.
July 1, 2011
What does it really cost to fly privately and how do those expenses compare with the price of airline travel? BJT computed the roundtrip cost of a New York-to-Paris trip for four passengers via airline first class and via a wholly owned and chartered Gulfstream 550.
June 1, 2011
The Federal Aviation Administration recently changed the rules that determine when executives may pay for flights on their company aircraft.
May 31, 2011
Spring has sprung and the preowned aircraft business is still germinating. A slow and orderly recovery continues its linear track to the lowest inventory levels since the market peaked in the fourth quarter of 2008.
April 13, 2011
Gulfstream Aerospace has acquired a 253,000-sq-ft building in Savannah, Ga., to house its growing research and development program.
April 1, 2011
When you're ready to buy or sell a preowned aircraft, you'd be wise to start the process by going online. Our own BJTonline.com includes reviews of many models and-particularly in the site's Buyers' Guide section-lots of information about acquiring, financing and insuring aircraft. Many other Web sites can help you research models you're considering or determine demand and pricing for one you want to sell.
April 1, 2011
In what is becoming an annual or semi-annual event, President Barack Obama signed a tax bill last December that extended "bonus" depreciation for purchases of new aircraft, including business jets. With each extension, the level of enthusiasm among aircraft buyers and manufacturers has dissipated to the point where new announcements are more soporific than stimulating.
April 1, 2011
Whether it's a buyers' or sellers' market really depends on what model aircraft you're talking about. Across-the-board price cuts for preowned jets continue to lure back buyers, but their tastes have been particular, pushing some model types to their lowest inventory levels in a couple of years while others remain highly available.

Can you define these popular missing words?
A Fargle is when you accidentally Fart whilst Gargling. One should be careful not to inhale whilst fargling, leaving a taste reminiscent of hard boiled eggs in mouth. That would be gross, knowing it is NOT eggs you're tasting.
Ooofff!! That was one greezy Fargle!
The act of completing a game or series of "Paper, Rock, Scissors" in order to determine the results of any series of events held in dispute between two people.
"Me and Ernie fargled to see who'd play next on the XBOX and I smoked him with a Triple Scissors Combo."
"Dude, we both said 'not it' at the same time. Let's fargle for it to see who turns the light off."
"Dude, we both said 'not it' at the same time. Let's fargle for it to see who turns the light off."

messed up, to mess up.
That's fargled up. You got fargled up.
作者 wckd 2003年9月07日
A word that can be any adjective you want. used to destroy the words swag and cray which mean nothing as fargle can mean anything.
"god your such a fargle"

an accidental fart occurring during a fit of laughter
haha, you just fargled!!
作者 memememeeee 2009年12月25日
A fart which doesn't escape the ass cheaks as you lean foward, and is forced back up the ass making a reverse fart noise as you lean back thinking the task was done.
Mike leaned foward in his chair to fart, but as he leaned back in his chair a nasty fargle let him know he didn't push hard enough.

A local tattoo artist was arrested on methamphetamine-related charges early Thursday morning, after a domestic dispute in which he allegedly hit his girlfriend in the head with a beer bottle.
Jeremy Quentin Hamrick, 31, of Elkins, was charged with operating or attempting to operate a clandestine drug laboratory, a felony, after police allegedly found a clandestine meth lab in the dumpster behind the former Four Seasons Motel, where Hamrick told police he lived in an apartment.
According to the criminal complaint in the Randolph County Magistrate Clerk's office, at approximately 10:15 p.m. Wednesday, Sgt. S.R. Judy with the Elkins Police Department responded to a domestic altercation at Apartment 16 in the former motel building. When Judy arrived, he first encountered Hamrick, who "appeared unusually nervous" and told the officer his girlfriend, Patricia Frymire, "had physically assaulted him and then attacked herself," the complaint states.
Article Photos
As Judy was conferring with Hamrick, he allegedly noticed "odors associated with a clandestine laboratory" emanating from his person. As Hamrick's girlfriend, Frymire, approached, Judy saw "obvious swelling and bleeding" on the left side of her head, the complaint states. The two became involved in a verbal altercation, at which point Judy separated the two in order to get Frymire's account of what had happened.
Frymire, who also allegedly smelled of the same odors as Hamrick, told Judy the two were dating and she had, on several occasions, asked Hamrick to stop "cooking" meth, the officer wrote in the complaint. Nonetheless, Hamrick had been cooking Wednesday night, and the two began to fight about it, Frymire told Judy. Frymire said Hamrick then hit her on the head with a beer bottle and refused to allow her to leave the apartment; however, she was able to escape to a friend's apartment nearby.
Randolph County EMS then arrived on scene to evaluate Frymire. At that point, two unidentified individuals approached Judy and told him they'd seen Hamrick carry a trash can from his apartment and hide it either behind the apartment building or in Roxie's Tattoo Parlor & Piercings, where Hamrick said he worked as a manager.
Judy then interviewed Hamrick and Frymire at the same time, and they both told him they wanted to pursue charges against the other. Frymire then left, saying she was going to drive herself to the hospital. Judy then confronted Hamrick with the information he'd obtained from the unidentified informants.
"I ... asked Mr. Hamrick what happened to the meth lab that was in the room," Judy wrote. "Mr. Hamrick stated he did not know what I was talking about." Judy asked Hamrick for consent to search Roxie's Tattoo Parlor and Piercings, located in the same building, but Hamrick said Judy would need to seek permission from the parlor's owner.
After obtaining consent from the owner, Judy and Trooper J.R. Wince with the Elkins detachment of the West Virginia State Police searched the shop and found a gray and black backpack that allegedly contained a box of Sudafed decongestant - the only "item of concern," Judy noted.
Wince and Trooper J.J. Cornelius also searched the dumpster behind the former motel building and allegedly found "what appeared to be a clandestine lab." The officers then contacted Patrolman B.D. Tice, a clandestine lab technician, who subsequently arrived on scene and allegedly verified that what the state troopers had found was indeed a meth lab, the complaint states.
Judy then arrested Hamrick and took him to the Elkins Police Department. Hamrick gave a statement in which he claimed the lab was not his, but allegedly admitted to moving it to the dumpster. Hamrick also said his girlfriend, Frymire, had been cooking meth that evening, which is what precipitated their fight.
"Multiple inconsistencies with Mr. Hamrick's statement indicate he is not being truthful about his involvement," Judy concluded. "It should also be mentioned that I did find a plastic trash can behind Roxie's Tattoo Parlor that contained materials associated with a clandestine lab."
Judy later secured and executed a search warrant on Hamrick's apartment, which resulted in the discovery of plastic tubing, propane, lighter fluid, digital scales, plastic bags and a receipt showing the purchase of over-the-counter medication containing pseudoephedrine.
The Elkins Police Department is still investigating the incident.
Chief Magistrate Ben Shepler set bond at $50,000 cash or surety, and as of presstime, Hamrick remained lodged in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail.
The penalty for a conviction of operating or attempting to operate a clandestine drug laboratory is imprisonment in the state penitentiary for two to 10 years, a fine between $5,000 and $25,0000 or both.

As people age, their ability to hear tends to diminish. About 30 percent of Americans ages 65 to 74 suffer from hearing loss, and about 47 percent of Americans 75 and older suffer from hearing loss, according to Dr. Karen Lemme, an audiologist in Altoona.
Yet, only about 10 to 15 percent of those people will seek help by purchasing hearing aids.
Lemme, owner of Lemme Audiology Associates, said two factors deter people from purchasing hearing aids - stigma and price.
Article Photos
(Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski) Dr. Karen Lemme, audiologist, conducts a hearing test in her Altoona office.
She said for many people stigma seems to be more of a problem than price. She said people associate hearing aids with being old, but owning a device could improve one's lifestyle.
People who can't hear in a social setting, such as a restaurant, may avoid public places and going out with friends, she said. Being social and active is encouraged to stimulate the mind.
The other reason people are reluctant to get the devices is price, with most hearing aids costing $1,000 or more.
Research and technology is partially responsible for that cost.
In the past, hearing aid users would insert analog devices in their ears. The analog style would whistle and cause feedback.
Lemme, who has been a practicing audiologist for more than 26 years, said the analog devices basically amplified sounds using a microphone and were adjusted using a screwdriver.
Today's digital models have corrected many of the problems associated with analog devices and reduce background noise.
Ralph Jacobs, owner of Altoona Professional Hearing Aid Center in Park Hills Plaza, said digital hearing aids were developed about 15 years ago and have been completely digital in the last five years.
"A lot of research has gone into building them and designing them," he said, but the demand for them is not as high as it is for other electronic devices.
"They're not like a computer where there is a mass market for them," Jacobs said. "or an iPhone or iPad."
As the digital devices become more readily available, the devices are being marketed over the Internet and through mail order services. Although those hearing aids may be less expensive than those offered by a local hearing aid expert, they may not be a bargain.
"Would you buy a pacemaker online," said Ralph Jacobs. "I don't think so."
Jacobs, a registered hearing aid specialist who is certified by the state Department of Health, said he performs hearing tests and fits people for their devices.
Mail order companies don't usually fit the device to the customer's needs or program it to his or her hearing loss., he said.
Companies that offer hearing aids in the mail may only deal with one manufacturer, said Jacobs who said he contracts with several manufacturers and offers devices that accommodate a person's needs from severe hearing loss as well as mid range to moderate hearing loss.
He said companies advertising on the Internet may not provide service. If someone purchases a product online and brings it to him to repair, he cannot help them, he said.
"If it has a warranty, I can't send it back," he said.
Jacobs said hearing aids need to be fitted and programmed for each individual. He said he sets parameters on the device to meet the individual's hearing loss.
He offers customers a 60-day trial, and if the devices don't work for them, they can get their money back.
"The goal is to help them and have them leave here happy," he said.
Lemme also addressed the importance of a proper fit and individual programming.
She compared buying hearing aids over the Internet to people buying over-the-counter reading glasses when their eyesight begins to change.
She said that action might work for a small percentage of people, but a thorough eye exam is needed to determine what type of sight problems the person is having so he or she can be fitted with glasses to meet specific needs.
An eye exam by an optometrist or ophthalmologist would detect other possible issues, such a cataracts or glaucoma, she said.
In the same way, a hearing specialist is able to detect other health issues, such as a tumor, that may affect hearing.
She said individual ears are different, and the shape of the ear can block sound if the hearing aid is not fitted properly.
And while a hearing aid is programmed to meet the individual's needs, hearing loss is gradual and a hearing specialist is able to the necessary adjustments to the device over time.
Bundling or including the cost of office visits for adjustments and other services with the price of hearing aids also adds to the price of the devices. Lemme said without that service some people might put off a needed adjustment to avoid paying for an office visit.
Lemme said local hearing aid experts are available when problems arise.
Although she said she explains how to use and care for the devices, she said sometimes an individual needs a review, such as the person who was not sure how to install the batteries.
She said she also had a patient return about a week ago complaining that the hearing aid was not working.
"It was plugged with wax," she said.

Ivy got her ears pierced. For a long time she didn't want to, but suddenly it's all she could talk about and so, I had promised I would only do it when she asked, and off we went! She did great, kind of acted like it was no big deal really. I must note that when choosing her starter earrings, she pointed right at the largest fake diamonds they had- like 2 carat CZs! "I want diamonds." I redirected her to the much smaller sparkly pink flowers.
We went out for sushi afterwards and she ate an entire veggie roll, miso soup, and cucumber salad. She also thoughtfully asked me, "Who's the guy on the penny again?" And not one person we encountered the entire day didn't find out about her new earrings. The best part was that every single one made a big to-do about it and she just gobbled that up.
Last night was Grayson's elementary school talent show. I took him and Ivy and it was absolutely darling in the gym with old mismatched folding chairs, except for the fact that the minute it started both kids turned into limp heavy ragdolls on either side and couldn't sit up straight for the life of me. They laid all over my lap/chest/legs the entire time. Gray plucked at my arm hairs and Ivy literally wept when she found out that she wasn't in the talent show. Still, it was worth it, and I was so impressed by these little folks here in our new adorable town.

Central Cambria coach Bob Nikloshen has compared the battles between Red Devil 160-pounder Tony Risaliti and Forest Hills' Cody Law to the fight in Rocky IV between Rocky Balboa and Ivan Drago.
They've wrestled so much and spent so much time together you almost expect Law to go nose to nose with Risaliti and tell him "I must break you."
But, as everybody knows by now, they're friends. They've worked out together at Young Guns, talked about how cool it would be to wrestle in the district, regional and state finals.
They're about to find out how cool that would be.
Law holds a 3-1 edge in the four bouts they've wrestled this year but they've split in the posteason, with Risaliti winning a District 6 title and Law winning a Southwest Regional crown. Now comes the PIAA Championships.
They'll have to get through some very tough brackets to wrestle a fifth time. In Risaliti's bracket alone, he might have to beat Central Columbia's unbeaten Kurt Meske (37-0) in the quarterfinals and Tri-Valley stud Sam Scheib (38-3) in the semifinals.
But, I'll think they'll do it and wrestle in the finals. Too bad they'll have to share the Giant Center floor with the consolation bouts because they deserve to be out there alone.
Anyway, I'm picking Law over Risaliti in my PIAA Class AA predictions. Law seems to have the advantage on his feet, and that will make the difference. Risaliti will have to be at his best to beat Law, especially on his feet, and he was in the district finals.
If he can find the solution to that, then he could become Central Cambria's second state champ, joining the late Nate Morris (2003) as a gold medalist.
Off The Mat rankings has predicted Risaliti's teammate, Ben Rager, will make the 126-pound finals and become a trivia question: Who did Derry Area's Jimmy Gulibon beat to earn his fourth state title? Gulibon, by the way is my pick for Outstanding Wrestler.
Rager is certainly capable of that, but I haven't gone in that direction. In fact, I'm picking his first-round opponent, Schuylkill Valley's Arty Walsh, a state champion as a 112-pound freshman in 2009, to make the finals. Rager finished fourth at the Southwest Regional, suffering his first two losses, so he'll have to pick his game up in Hershey.
I'm not picking any area wrestlers to win titles. I'm picking Claysburg-Kimmel's Ty Dively to make the 138-pound finals, where he'll lose to Pen Argyl's returning state champion Mike Racciato. Penn Cambria's Nick Szala is capable of upsetting Racciato in the quarterfinals. How fitting would a Dively-Szala finals bout be considering how 138 has been at districts and regionals?
Other area guys like C-K's James Dodson (132), Bedford's Ryan Easter (113), Moshannon Valley's James Stodart (195) and Northern Bedford's Quinton Hixson (285) have shots, but the odds are against them.
Bethlehem Catholic, which breezed to the PIAA Duals championship, should run away with the team title.
Most of these picks were extremely difficult. Should be interesting to see what happens. Here's a closer look at them:
106 POUNDS: Finalists: Darian Cruz, Bethlehem Catholic vs. Korbin Myers, Boiling Springs. Champion: Cruz. Comment: C-K's Brown, Ligonier Valley's Patrick could play upset roles.
113 POUNDS: Finalists: Jason Nolf, Kittanning vs. Vito Pasone, Meyers. Champion: Nolf. Comment: Nolf is way too strong from the top position, so he'll get another title.
120 POUNDS: Finalists: Zeke Moisey, Bethlehem Catholic vs. Nick Roberts, North Star. Champion: Roberts. Comment: B-A's Jared Woomer can't be counted out of a very tough top bracket, which includes Sharon's unbeaten Jarray Norris (39-0).
126 POUNDS: Finalists: Arty Walsh, Schuylkill Valley vs. Jimmy Gulibon, Derry Area. Champion: Gulibon. Comment: In addition to Walsh, look out for CC's Rager, Charleroi's Toth and Keystone Oaks' Zanetta.
132 POUNDS: Finalists: Randy Cruz, Bethlehem Catholic vs. Laike Gardner, Biglerville. Champion: Gardner. Comment: Two returning state runners-up will be hard to beat.
138 POUNDS: Finalists: Mike Racciato, Pen Argyl vs. Ty Dively, Claysburg-Kimmel. Champion: Racciato. Comment: Penn Cambria's Szala will take on Racciato in quarterfinals.
145 POUNDS: Finalists: Evan Delong, Kane vs. Zach Beitz, Juniata. Champion: Beitz. Comment: Forest Hills' Brydon has the potential to earn a rematch with Beitz.
152 POUNDS: Finalists: Pete Renda, Brandywine Heights vs. Cody Copeland, Greenville. Champion: Copeland. Comment: Conemaugh Township's Berchick can't be counted out of top bracket.
160 POUNDS: Finalists: Cody Law, Forest Hills vs. Tony Risaliti, Central Cambria. Champion: Law. Comment: Risaliti definitely has a tougher bracket than his buddy, but he can get through it.
170 POUNDS: Finalists: Elliot Riddick, Bethlehem Catholic vs. Tristan Sponseller, Bermudian Springs. Champion: Riddick. Comment: Tough draw for Ridge's Dibert with Riddick in first round.
182 POUNDS: Finalists: Dakota DesLauriers, Burrell vs. Wes Phipps, Grove City. Champion: DesLaurier. Comment: Phipps was second at 171 last year, and DesLauriers was third.
195 POUNDS: Finalists: Logan Stout, Brookville vs. Ryan Solomon, Milton. Champion: Solomon. Comment: Good thing Mo Valley's Stodart finished third instead of fourth because the bottom bracket is a beast.
220 POUNDS: Finalists: Eric Laytos, Lackwanna Trail vs. John Rizzo, Richland. Champion: Rizzo. Comment: I can still see NBC's Suter cradling Laytos for a fall in last year's tournament.
285 POUNDS: Finalists: Corey Garry, Fort Cherry vs. Nate Grendelis, Chartiers-Houston. Champion: Garry. Comment: NBC's Hixson can't be counted out of making the finals.
OUTSTANDING WRESTLER: Jimmy Gulibon, Derry Area.
TEAM CHAMPION: Bethlehem Catholic. Comment: Everybody else is battling for second.
PREDICTION RECORD: 94 out of 148 situations overall, 19 out of 29 situations in Northwest Regional Class AAA, 17 out of 29 in Southwest Regional Class AA.

UNIVERSITY PARK - For the second time in 17 days, the Penn State women's basketball team welcomed a top-five opponent to the Bryce Jordan Center.
The outcome was once again the same.
Penn State fell behind by 19 points in the first half, rallied to cut its deficit to nine in the second half but eventually lost to No. 4 Notre Dame 77-67 on Wednesday.
Ariel Edwards had 18 points for the No. 10 Lady Lions (5-2), who lost by 19 points in similar fashion to top-ranked Connecticut on Nov. 17. Dara Taylor added 14 points and Talia East had 12 points and eight rebounds.
Maggie Lucas, the Big Ten's leading scorer, was held to seven points on 1-of-8 shooting.
Natalie Achonwa had 21 points and 10 rebounds for Notre Dame (7-0), which used a 21-4 run in the first half to pull away.
The game was part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge and continued a strong non-conference home schedule for the Lady Lions, who also will play No. 23 Texas A&M later this month.
"It's a great opportunity to get top-five teams, great competition to come to your home court," Taylor said. "You wish you could perform better."
Penn State coach Coquese Washington said she remains patient with her team, which continues to mix-in several new players.
"I'm encouraging our players to be patient and, at the same time, not be satisfied with the way they played," she said. "We have to execute on both ends of the court. The next time we play a team of this caliber, we'll be able to compete at a higher level."
Washington, a former Notre Dame point guard and assistant coach, faced her alma mater for the first time.
"Winning or losing doesn't matter," Washington said. "I just had a tremendous experience. I decided to take the advice I give to our players. Embrace the moments when you're playing a highly-ranked opponent."
Notre Dame's offense, which topped 100 points in a win over Duquesne on Sunday, struggled at the start. The Fighting Irish missed 10 of their first 11 shots and Penn State went ahead 13-7 six minutes into the game.
"We really missed some easy shots early in the game," Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said. "Credit their defense. They were physical and made us work to score inside."
Penn State led 17-15 with 11:27 remaining in the first half when the deciding run started. The Lady Lions went 5 minutes, 23 minutes without a basket from the field and Notre Dame took advantage .
Jewell Loyd's 3-point play gave the Fighting Irish the lead for good and sparked a run of nine straight points. A pair of baskets from Taya Reimer and a lay-up from Achonwa put Notre Dame ahead 24-17 with nine minutes left in the first half.
After two free throws from Talia East, Notre Dame ran off eight more points, highlighted by Achonwa's 3-point play that pushed the Fighting Irish's lead to 13.
Edwards broke Penn State's drought from the field with a basket that cut the advantage to 11 points, but scores from Kayla McBride and Loyd put the Fighting Irish back up 36-21 with 5:13 left.
Notre Dame built its lead to 19 points before going into halftime with a 42-28 advantage. Penn State shot 32 percent (9-of-28) in the first half.
"They do a good job of pressuring the ball," Washington said. "There were times when we made some uncharacteristic decisions. They do a good job of making you get to your second, third option on offense."
Notre Dame's lead was still 19 points early in the second before Penn State rallied.
Lucas' first points of the game, a pair of free throws and a 3-pointer, pulled the Lady Lions to within nine points, at 66-57, with 4:42 left. After a lay-up from Achonwa, two free throws from Edwards again made it a nine-point game.
But Penn State missed its next four shots and got no closer the rest of the way.
Achonwa 8-15 5-7 21, Allen 0-1 2-2 2, McBride 4-15 4-4 13, Loyd 6-19 4-4 17, Braker 1-4 1-1 3, Reimer 5-10 2-2 12, Cable 0-1 0-0 0, Mabrey 3-7 1-2 9, Wright 0-1 0-0 0. Totals 27-73 19-22 77.
Taylor 5-15 3-3 14, East 4-5 4-4 12, Edwards 7-12 3-3 18, Lucas 1-8 4-4 7, Waldner 3-6 1-2 7, Agee 0-2 0-0 0, Sevillian 0-0 2-2 2, Harris 0-2 2-2 2, Mitchell 2-4 1-2 5, Whitted 0-0 0-0 0. Totals 22-54 20-22 67.
Halftime-Notre Dame 42-28. 3-Point Goals-Notre Dame 4-11 (Mabrey 2-5, Loyd 1-2, McBride 1-3, Cable 0-1), Penn St. 3-9 (Taylor 1-2, Lucas 1-2, Edwards 1-4, Mitchell 0-1). Fouled Out-Lucas. Rebounds-Notre Dame 44 (Achonwa, Reimer 10), Penn St. 36 (East 8). Assists-Notre Dame 17 (Braker 5), Penn St. 9 (Taylor 6). Total Fouls-Notre Dame 21, Penn St. 23. A-5,805.

The 93T treadmill is the best workout you will ever have!!! Total Body Experts was great to work with. They beat any price I could find on the internet and crushed the prices in the retail stores. Will use them again.

COLUMBIANA - Traffic was blocked for more than three hours Tuesday and four trains stopped from traveling through after a semi truck became lodged beneath the railroad underpass on Columbiana-Lisbon Road.
The American Transportations Services Inc. 18-wheel semi driven by Jehad A. Haleem, 28, Orland Park, Ill., was heavily damaged in the accident.
There was no cargo inside the 53-foot-long trailer, the inside of which was exposed to the elements as a result of the roof being shorn off from scraping the underpass.

Columbiana Police Detective Wade Boley (front) took pictures as Norfolk Southern and Brad's Towing employees assessed the underpass on Columbiana-Lisbon Road after a semi truck got stuck there Tuesday afternoon.
Tom Vanhorn, a supervisor with Norfolk Southern Railroad, said Haleem had driven the semi roughly 30 feet through the underpass before stopping. Vanhorn and Norfolk Southern employee Bill McVicker were at the scene to see if the bridge was damaged as a result, which Vanhorn said it wasn't.
The clearance height for the underpass is 10-feet-6-inches and the Volvo semi was roughly more than 12-foot-tall, Vanhorn said.
The railroad company gave three of the four stopped trains the go-ahead to proceed through town using that rail line a few hours after it was determined the bridge had not been damaged, he added.
Meanwhile, Brad's Towing of Petersburg was still prepping the semi for removal from the roadway shortly after 3 p.m.
The company had helped pull the semi backwards from the underpass after it was stuck.
Detective Wade Boley of the city police department said Haleem was traveling into the city in the northbound lane when he entered the underpass around 12:30 p.m., ripping the roof off the cab and a portion of the trailer and smashing the front end of the trailer.
Vehicle traffic was barred access through the underpass in both lanes while the railroad company, police department and City Service Director Jay Groner worked to get the road back in order. Portions of the truck's roof and other debris was scattered about the road and Groner worked to keep the matter from clogging up the water drains which were already full from the rain.
Boley cited Haleem for failure to obey traffic control devices. American Transportation Services is a general freight company located in Plainfield, Ill.

After its failed plan to open a Wild West museum, the city of Harrisburg will finally be able to sell the artifacts collected for the project.
Mayor Linda Thompson has been trying to sell the items since early last year, but City Controller Dan Miller had refused to sign an auctioneer contract.
Friday evening, a commonwealth court judge gave the mayor the green light, and that contract now has Miller's signature on it. The mayor says the city will reap the benefits of the auction.
"We'll have our hotels jumping, restaurants jumping with people and revenue in Harrisburg," said Thompson.
The mayor says the artifacts have been appraised at about $6 million.

"They're engaged and very happy," a source says of the couple. A rep for the actress said, "I can confirm that Scarlett and Romain are engaged. They haven't chosen a date for the wedding."
The proposal occurred about a month ago. The ring is a vintage Art Deco style.
Earlier this week, Johansson, 28, was spotted wearing the diamond stunner while in Italy promoting her new sci-fi movie Under the Skin at the Venice International Film Festival.
Over the past year, Johansson had been spotted with diamond rings on her left hand. The last time was in July, when she arrived in Los Angeles wearing an ornate gold ring with a diamond and ruby. That bauble, though, was "simply a piece of jewelry."

A classic science-fiction/horror film about a scientist's "teleport" machines, which dissolve atoms in one place to recreate them in another. When the scientist unwittingly shares the machine with a common housefly, he turns into a hideous hybrid of man and insect--and begins to literally bug out. The scientist wants to reverse the process, but first he must catch that fly.
HHHHHHHHEEEELLLLLLLPPPPP MMMMEEEEEEE!!!!! Please!

Similar to the "Beans above the Frank", when one exposes his genitals and twists them so that the balls are above the penis. Only applies when there is a significant amount of pubic hair, to give it that fly look. A prank of the nut game or fag game
Guy 1: "Dude, it got really bored at work so I got Charlie with the fly."
Guy 2: "Dude, that guy is such a fag."

The Fly is when a person is sucking your dick and then they throw up on it and continue to suck it.
The Fly's vomit on there food to help predigest it. Some women "crack whores" will do anything for a buck or two.

In New Orleans, the public park area between the Audubon Zoo and the Mississippi River. This area once featured a garish example of low-budget 1960's kitsch architecture that resembled an abstract angular fly and was last used to rent roller skates. While the building was destroyed long ago, the locals still refer to the park as "The Fly".
"Dude, I can't believe they put a curfew on The Fly."
"I totally fingered Sheri at The Fly last night, Brah."
