Linebacker Da'von Durant of Butler (Kan.) Junior College said last week that he would commit to South Carolina when he met with recruiter Kirk Botkin. That meeting took place. The commitment did not.
"It went well, it went real well," Durant said. "We talked about the defense they are running, school, academics, a little bit of everything. I didn't commit.
"I'm going to wait and get out and visit and see what's out there and make a decision then. Ain't nothing going to change as far as right now."
Durant said he would like to visit Texas A&M, Florida State and Arizona State.
Running back A.J. Turner (5-10, 190) of Clifton, Va., has seen his stock elevate with numerous major offers. USC was his first, and he now has offers from Clemson, Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh, Virginia, Boston College, Maryland, East Carolina, Connecticut and Old Dominion.
He made an unofficial visit to USC on Friday.
"It was amazing," Turner said. "Very thorough and organized."
Turner said he spent his time with recruiter Deke Adams and running backs coach Everette Sands.
"They showed me all around campus," he said. "The academic administration, the life skill coach and I was really impressed with it all."
Turner said Clemson also is in play for him. "I think both are great programs and a really good fit for me," Turner said. "They have met the criteria I have: good academics and academic support; a campus ministry because I'm big on church; good football program with stability and plays in bowl games; the distance from home, a little far, but I can deal with that rather than being on the other side of the country; and playing time, I would definitely have a shot at playing at those schools."
Turner, who rushed for 1,258 yards and 31 touchdowns last season, has also visited Virginia Tech, Virginia and Maryland.
In other recruiting news:
South Carolina's willingness to play wide receivers under 6 feet in height has Jalen Christian (5-10, 165) of Damascus, Md., very interested in the Gamecocks.
"A lot of teams are looking for receivers that are 6-5, but South Carolina plays the best player regardless of his height," Christian said. "That's what really stuck out to me about them."
Christian visited USC a year ago for their spring game. His list includes USC, Duke, Kentucky, Maryland, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Rutgers, Wisconsin and West Virginia.
Linebacker Austin Bryant of Thomasville, Ga., recently released his top 10 and included Clemson and USC on the list. The others are Florida, Florida State, Stanford, UCLA, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Penn State and Mississippi.
Offensive lineman Austin Clark of Lexington, Va., last week announced a top seven of Clemson, USC, Ohio State, Penn State, Tennessee, Virginia and Virginia Tech in no order. He is in regular contact with his Clemson and USC recruiters.
"Both of them remain very interested," he said. "I'm really high on their boards and they would like to have me." Clark visited USC for a spring practice session. He also has been to Virginia Tech and Ohio State.
There has been no change in the top five for defensive end Michael Barnett of Woodland. Barnett has named N.C. State, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Florida State and Georgia in no order as his favorites. He is also showing interest in Clemson and said that the coaches have maintained contact with him. Barnett did visit USC last month.
Defensive lineman Sterling Johnson (6-5, 290) of Clayton, N.C., is one of the top prospects in his state coming off a season of 80 tackles and 8 sacks. The recruiting process is heating up for Johnson, who holds offers from Clemson, USC, Florida, N.C. State, Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, West Virginia and Michigan.
Defensive end Marquavius Lewis of Hutchinson (Kan.) JC made a recent visit to Arkansas. That's been his only recent visit and he's uncertain about future ones. Lewis was in touch recently with USC recruiter Adams. USC is one of over 30 offers for linebacker Justin Hilliard of Cincinnati, and he is planning a visit to Columbia this summer.
"I don't know much about the academics and that kind of stuff, but the football program speaks for itself," Hilliard said. "They've obviously got a very good program. I keep in touch with the coaches and they don't tell me too much. They just tell me they want to get me on campus so I can see for myself." His previous visits include Alabama and Oklahoma. He did not name any favorites.
Defensive back Micah Abernathy (6-1, 185) of Norcross, Ga., is up to 21 offers including USC, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Duke. He has not reduced his list as he wants to take his time to see all of his options. USC has been actively recruiting Abernathy and he's been talking with recruiter GA Mangus.
Defensive end Darian Roseboro (6-5, 265) of Lincolnton, N.C., is one of the top prospects in the Tar Heel state for 2015, and right now Clemson and USC are factoring strongly into his recruiting.
He has 30 offers and plans to narrow his list by the end of May. The Tigers and Gamecocks are in good shape to make the cut. Roseboro visited Clemson in January for a junior day.
"It was really nice," he said. "If I had a top 10, I'd put them up there. I really like their defensive scheme. I fit into their defensive scheme." Roseboro has also seen USC and gives the Gamecocks high marks as well. "They have really nice football facilities and I like the coaching staff. Their defensive end plays multiple positions and it allows you to get different looks and make plays. USC would also be in the top 10 if I had one."
Roseboro also has visited N.C. State, Duke, North Carolina, Tennessee, Michigan, Ohio State and Vanderbilt.

I believe an excerpt from my blog from the day the image was taken is the best written representation of my image.
The beginning of the walk was dry but we could hear thunder in the distance. That's usually a good sign that we're about to get soaked. Halfway back the rain really started, but we were as prepared as we could have been. Though the rain was rough, our coats and umbrellas kept it manageable. The real fun began when the street lights went out. Here we were: a group of Americans dragging their mud coated sandals through the clay-like dirt – more often than not losing a shoe in the process. Our light source: head lamps, which in the rain are similar to a car's bright lights. They just light up the sheet of water hitting you in the face. The lightening was so close and so phenomenal that at least every thirty seconds our walk was flooded with full daylight shot of the road. We were quite the sight. And the best part? We got back to the village to find that the egg sandwich stand was still open. I've learned to not be miserable in those situations. You just have to laugh at your state. There's not enough time to be upset about it, and it's just not worth wasting emotional energy on the rain.
Today, a similar thunderstorm occurred. I saw it approaching as I walked to my basket weaver's house. Realizing my outside meeting was going to be cut short, I went to Olivia and Kenzie's room to wait the storm out. The sky was incredible as usual. Every time it is about to rain, you get a warning by the wind. Gales whip across the top of the hill and blow clothes off the lines. We scurried to collect the laundry as the rain began to pelt us. Seeing the rain as an opportunity for a shower, Olivia, Kenzie, their host sisters and I grabbed some shampoo and soap and lathered up. I snapped a few pictures of our shower-turned-water-fight and then joined them. I have not been that clean since I've been here. The water pressure was just awesome. We picked up buckets and threw water and each other. I have always loved playing in the rain. That half hour of rain was just too perfect. The elation I felt is incomparable to anything else I have felt in my life. I will never ever forget it.
The bond that is shared in an instance like that is different from any other that I have experienced. Language barrier or not, there is a permanent connection created during a moment of complete elation. This was not a moment or occurrence that was exclusive to Ghana. However, it let me realize the consistency of the human spirit and that everyone, no matter the culture, has the capability of pure, utter delight. Our joy came from something free and simple: a rain storm.

A Five Ropper is a term used to describe the male ejaculation. In order to be A Five Ropper, the male needs to have secreted at least five pulsations of semen on the person body. Thus the semen looks like white ropes...

Johnstown police have arrested a 38-year-old man in connection with the disappearance of a 16-year-old girl who was found safe early Thursday morning.
David Calderon was arrested after the girl was found in a house across the street from where she was with Calderon, according to the police department.
The Associated Press reports that the teen was reported missing just after midnight Tuesday, and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation issued a missing child alert. The girl sent messages to friends saying she was with a man named "Dave" and was scared. She told her friends to call police, according to reports.
Calderon was arrested on suspicion of second-degree kidnapping, false imprisonment, unlawful sexual contact, felony menacing, child abuse, and third-degree assault.

HANOVERTON - The United Local School District was on a two-hour delay Friday, but not because of the weather. Around 6:30 a.m., school employees discovered someone had vandalized 12 of the district's buses, rendering them inoperable.
Assistant High School Principal Frank Baker called the county sheriff's office around 6:40 a.m. to report that all four tires had been stabbed on seven school buses and five buses had tires that were stabbed on one side. The fuel doors were also found open on the 12 buses.
The 36 tires, which Superintendent Steven Viscounte estimated cost $400 each, were damaged beyond repair.
Students typically arrive to the elementary, middle and high schools between 7 and 7:30 a.m. each day, and with 12 buses out of service that morning, a delay was immediately called.
The district had already planned for an early dismissal due to scheduled exams, but that was called off because of the delay, Viscounte said.
"We wanted to have a normal day as much as we could," he said.
The district contacted West Branch and Salem City Schools to see if their buses could be used to transport students. West Branch had already canceled classes for the day so buses weren't needed for those students, and seven buses were made available to United Local. Salem, which was not operating on a two-hour delay or early dismissal, provided four buses to the district.
Southern Local also volunteered buses for the district's use, but they weren't needed, Viscounte said.
He speculated the buses were vandalized during the night and that whomever is responsible did it quickly.
"If we catch them they are going to be in a lot of trouble," he said.
The cost of the damage to the tires alone is roughly $14,400.
The district's maintenance crew immediately began working to repair the buses and were still working into the afternoon. An outside company was also called in to help replace the tires since there weren't enough spares available, Viscounte said.
"We didn't have enough tires back to even replace the tires because there are so many of them (damaged). It's not something you plan for, that's for sure," he said.
Before the buses could be used to take students home the Highway Patrol was called to inspect the new tires, a state requirement.
Viscounte said surveillance footage of the where the buses were parked will be reviewed by the district and a sheriff's deputy.
Deputy Brandon Hoppel responded to the initial report, and the fuel lines on the buses were checked for possible damage, with no findings.

Winter came back to Western New York with a vengeance Thursday. Gusty winds downed trees and power lines and dropped temperatures more than 40 degrees from the record high of 66 set on Wednesday.
The second half of the arctic one-two punch – lake-effect snow – began Thursday in the Southern Tier and is expected to spread over most of the region today. How heavy it will be depends on where you are. The National Weather Service issued a variety of snow advisories Thursday afternoon.
For northern Erie and Genesee counties, there was a lake-effect snow watch from early this evening to late Saturday evening, with the potential for 6 inches of snow where the heaviest snow bands set up.
For Orleans County, there was a lake-effect snow advisory from Thursday evening to 6 p.m. today, promising 2 to 4 inches overnight and 3 to 5 inches today.
The rest of the region, except for Niagara County, is under a lake-effect snow warning until 6 p.m. today. In Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany counties, accumulations of 7 to 14 inches were predicted overnight, with 5 to 10 more inches today. In southern Erie and Wyoming counties, snowfall of 7 to 13 inches was expected overnight, with another 5 to 9 inches today.
The only area to essentially escape the snow, forecasters say, will be Niagara County. Only an inch or two was due overnight, with another inch or two today.
Combined with 20 to 30 mph winds, the snow is expected to create numerous whiteouts and considerable drifting. Travel is likely to be treacherous throughout most of the region.
The potential for snow and blustery conditions will continue through Sunday, forecasters said Thursday night. Temperatures are expected to drop into the teens tonight and stay mostly in the teens on Saturday, with wind chills near zero.
Intense snow already was causing problems Thursday afternoon. The Thruway was closed for a while west of Ripley and many after-school activities and evening events were canceled throughout southern Erie, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany counties.
Earlier, the biggest problem was the wind, which caused scattered power outages that left about 2,000 customers in the dark throughout the region.
The strongest gust was 63 mph at 4 a.m. at the Dunkirk lighthouse, according the National Weather Service. A gust of 59 mph was measured at 4:14 a.m. at the Weather Service office at Buffalo Niagara International Airport in Cheektowaga. Temperatures fell from 50 shortly after midnight Thursday to 32 at 6 a.m. and 23 by mid-evening.
The winds caused a tractor-trailer to jackknife on Route 60 in Gerry about 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Chautauqua County sheriff's officials said, leaving the highway reduced to a single lane for about two hours. No injuries were reported and no charges were filed.
The wind also was blamed for collapsing a barn on Lindberg Road north of Ellicottville.
Trees were reported down everywhere. A large tree fell at the intersection of Routes 5 and 77 in Pembroke, a National Weather Service staffer reported.
A tree fell on a house in Buffalo, police reported.

Wow, what an amazing NFL playoff weekend! My head is still spinning from the relentless drama, the big plays, the curious coaching decisions, the dubious officiating. And if you thought the teams were flying into the end zone at a record pace, you were right.
The eight teams combined for 276 points, or 34.5 per game. All eight of them put up at least 28. That's the most scoring in a four-game divisional playoff round since the current format was instituted at the time of the merger in 1970.
Of course, Buffalo fans experienced that all-too-familar sensation that comes from watching other, more successful franchises compete into January. Yes, it's that jarring feeling you get when you're reminded just how far the Bills are from being a legitimate contender.
There's been a justifiable jolt of optimism lately. I've been at the front of the parade, waving from the float of forward thinking and young ideas. The hiring of Doug Marrone and his two coordinators is an encouraging sign, an indication that Russ Brandon is taking the franchise in a fresh direction.
But they haven't played a game yet, and let's face it, they're only coaches.
I didn't see any coordinators spiking the ball in the end zone over the weekend. The presumed genius of Denver's Mike McCoy wasn't all that evident. In the end, it's about players — more specifically, the quarterback.
Say what you will about quarterback rating. The seven top-rated teams in the NFL all made the playoffs. You know it's competitive at the game's most vital position when Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson, who ranked 1-2-4 in QB rating in the regular season, got outplayed in the round of eight.
That leaves us with an intriguing lineup for next week's conference championship games:
The Pats' Tom Brady, the best ever, playing in his seventh title game at 35; Atlanta's Matt Ryan and Baltimore's Joe Flacco, products of the 2008 draft, trying to reach their first Super Bowl and erase the lingering doubts; and the Niners' Colin Kaepernick, 25, who has started eight games in his NFL career.
Buffalo fans can be grateful to Ryan for leading a late, game-winning drive against the Seahawks. Otherwise, the NFC championship game would feature Kaepernick and Russell Wilson, two quarterbacks who were passed over by the Bills in the last two drafts.
I can imagine the tenor of the conversations in the living rooms of Buffalo fans as they watched Wilson — who was drafted in the third round by Seattle last April after the Bills moved up to get T.J. Graham — play so nobly in defeat.
And it must have been equally distressing seeing Kaepernick, who went two picks after the Bills took cornerback Aaron Williams in the 2011 draft, rush for a record 181 yards and throw for 263 in his first career playoff start against Green Bay.
The Bills weren't the only ones to miss on Wilson and Kaepernick, dynamic runners who didn't fit the conventional mold of the statuesque pocket passer. They're cutting edge players, evidence that NFL coaches are finally moving away from a one-dimensional prototype of the franchise QB.
Suffice it to say, the Bills were well behind the curve. Buddy Nix failed to draft a successor of any kind to the marginal Ryan Fitzpatrick, and now he and his scouting cronies are feeling the pressure to catch up.
Presumably, Marrone and Nathaniel Hackett, his 33-year-old offensive coordinator, will have a big say in drafting the next franchise quarterback. It's hard to have faith in Nix, who was apparently too locked into old-school thinking to see the possibilities of Kaepernick and Wilson. And if Doug Whaley is such a rising star, where was he during the process?
The experts say this isn't a good year for quarterbacks. OK, there's probably no Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III in this college class, but who can say there won't be another Wilson or Kaepernick out there, or someone like Flacco, who went 18th overall out of Delaware five years ago?
Does the success of Wilson and Kaepernick prove the science of drafting franchise QBs has changed? If the NFL is moving away from a narrow model, does that mean you don't necessarily have to get one near the top of the draft? Are there more out there than conventional wisdom suggests?
Or were those two guys flukes, deviations from the norm? The great fear for Bills fans is that the NFL just went through a hot cycle for quarterbacks. The law of averages says the cycle will swing back and the next batch will be more pedestrian – just in time for Buffalo to take one.
That makes it even more urgent to get it right in the draft. Marrone and Hackett have been around the college game. They've seen prospects running modern, high-tempo offenses. The question is whether they can translate college talent to the NFL any better than the Bills have done for a decade.
Maybe the Syracuse mafia will push for their guy, Ryan Nassib. Nassib made great strides at SU. He ran a no-huddle attack as a senior and set school passing records for an offense that averaged 30 points a game.
It's a little too cozy. Marrone and Hackett enjoyed their greatest college triumphs with Nassib as their quarterback. You could argue that if not for Nassib, they wouldn't have been in the position to get NFL jobs at this point in their careers. It might cause them to see Nasib in too positive a light.
Then again, Nassib is rated about the fifth-best quarterback in this year's draft class. Kaepernick and Wilson weren't rated even that high coming out of college. It's an inexact science, and sometimes you have to get lucky.
But watching the weekend games drove home the essential point: The Bills are playing catchup at quarterback. They need to get the right guy, and fast.

NIAGARA FALLS – Since his election two years ago, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has visited all of the state's large cities.
He also has made time for trips to smaller places such as Batavia, Plattsburgh and Utica, which he visited four times.
But in his nearly two years as the state's chief executive, Cuomo has yet to set foot in Niagara Falls, one of the world's most recognizable places and a popular landing spot for past governors.
Some observers say there are reasons for his absence.
Despite a number of state achievements, Niagara Falls remains a challenging place for the governor, they say, because of two thorny issues.
One is the state's plans to expand non-Indian gambling, which set off a dispute with the Seneca Nation of Indians that has kept more than $58 million in slot machine revenue from the city's coffers.
A week ago, Mayor Paul A. Dyster said he needed more time to create a "disaster budget" for the city, and the specter of layoffs looms large among the city's 600-plus workers. Amid a full-blown fiscal crisis, many are calling for a loan from the state.
While some blame the Senecas for the dispute, many city residents believe that the state violated the terms of its Indian casino compact by placing "racinos" in Batavia and Hamburg, thereby forcing the Senecas to protect their interests by withholding the money.
For that, the residents point their fingers at the state.
"We have a lot of frustrated people in the neighborhood," said Roger L. Spurback, president of the Niagara Falls Block Club Council. "They were starting to see good things happening, and now they're seeing bad things, when your roads are going down and your houses can't be demolished. No one is willing to stand up and take the blame, and that's not leadership. If the governor comes here, I'll tell him to his face."
Spurback believes that Cuomo needs to come to the city and view the effect of the casino dispute with his own eyes.
"It's easy to sit in your leather chair in Albany, 300 miles away, while the streets are being neglected because we don't have money to repair them and the houses are deteriorating," Spurback added. "I don't think anybody understands that what they need to do is walk with me through the neighborhoods and let me show them."
The anger at the governor is compounded by mounting concern over his ties to Howard P. Milstein, a Manhattan billionaire and major Cuomo donor who has failed to develop the 80 acres he owns in downtown Niagara Falls.
Citizens living around Milstein's vacant land were outraged when Cuomo appointed him Thruway Authority chairman last year, staging a "mock ribbon-cutting" to bring attention to Milstein's company, Niagara Falls Redevelopment.
Late last month, a community group mobilized during Lt. Gov. Robert J. Duffy's visit to the new culinary school, handing out fliers with images of Cuomo and Milstein that read, "My buddy. My bank. My Boss. Cuomo has Milstein to consider before you!"
The group, Niagara Organizing Alliance for Hope, has more plans in the coming weeks to call attention to Milstein, one of the governor's key allies. The activists aren't surprised that the governor has chosen to stay away from the Falls.
"I would expect that he would not want to encounter the citizens of Niagara Falls who are feeling as though Howard Milstein has failed to serve their interests," said the Rev. M. Bruce McKay, a Buffalo pastor who heads a regional faith-based group.
"Given … the poverty and lack of development in the city, one would think this would be a priority place to visit for Gov. Cuomo," said McKay, whose group has been active in the Falls.
Others point out that Niagara County voted against Cuomo by a more than 2-to-1 ratio two years ago. Erie County also voted against the governor, but that hasn't kept him away from the Buffalo area.
Although the governor has made no official public appearances in Niagara Falls, few accuse him of ignoring the city's needs. Cuomo's supporters point to Nik Wallenda's wire-walk across the falls, which brought an instant tourism boost to the struggling city and put it in a worldwide spotlight.
While Cuomo did not attend the event – some speculated that he would make an appearance – his signature was the first step in allowing the type of daredevil event that had long been banned by the state.
Cuomo has also supported USA Niagara Development Corp., a state agency that has started to turn around the city's bleak development prospects with more than $75 million of downtown investment.
The governor kept the development agency and its staff – some of whom were holdovers from the administration of Gov. George E. Pataki – in place and also committed money toward its key project, Niagara County Community College's $30 million Culinary Institute Niagara Falls.
He also has steered money from the state's economic-development pot into other projects in the city and has pushed for the preservation of the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station.
"I think there is a real turnaround story to tell about what's going on in downtown Niagara Falls, and I would be the first to tell you we couldn't do it without the state's help," Dyster said. "I think he deserves credit for this, in part, and I think he should come and take credit for it."
For some, the tangible state achievements make Cuomo's absence all the more puzzling.
While Cuomo has sent Duffy to the Falls four times in the last year, the governor has yet to make the visit that many of his predecessors saw as an unmistakable photo opportunity in a world-famous destination.
Pataki made the revitalization of Niagara Falls one of his key priorities, creating USA Niagara and giving the city the Seneca casino it so desperately wanted.
Then-Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer came to the city to endorse Dyster and later to learn about its key projects and commit state funding. He wound up making one of his infamous telephone calls to an escort service before his meeting with the mayor.
And Spitzer's successor as governor, David A. Paterson, came to the city more than once, even holding an impromptu question-and-answer session to hear the concerns of local residents.
Local leaders are glad to have the attention from Duffy, but they would "love to show the governor some of progress we've been making here and show the impact his policies have had here in Niagara Falls already," Dyster said.
An aide to the governor stressed that Cuomo is committed to resolving the dispute between the Senecas and the state, which remains in arbitration, and Cuomo last week vowed to "protect the taxpayers and the local governments" in the casino dispute.
But the aide gave no indication whether the dispute is keeping Cuomo from Niagara Falls, and spokesman Joshua J. Vlasto did not return multiple calls seeking comment on the governor's relationship with the city.

IKEA is a place of heaven for a lot of homeowners, renters and young professionals on a budget. Its furniture pieces are modestly priced and have a minimalist design that suits every kind of lifestyle. The problem with IKEA never was its pricing structure or array of furniture lineup, it's what happens when you bring the box home and realize you have to put these funky-named pieces together yourself. Do you fancy a game of real life Tetris?
Admitting to these confusing furniture assembly instructions, the Swedish company has begun posting video tutorials on YouTube to help frustrated consumers put together its products. The first in the anticipated series is the MALM bed frame, a four and a half minute video that contains pop up tips relating what the instruction pictures are supposed to signify in real life. See that figure of the arrow pointing two sticks together? You're supposed to pile them on top of each other then screw those together, silly! A cutesy, upbeat tune also accompanies the video to alleviate the possible pain you might be having in real time.
Having an instructional video tutorial also helps IKEA customers because they can pause, rewind and fast forward to the parts on which they need more clarification. The more IKEA releases these videos, the more users will also be able to see ahead of time how a particular piece of furniture is assembled before deciding if they will be able to take on the challenge. It's always very nice and pretty in the catalogs, but never the same when you have all the bits and pieces lying across your home.
The MALM bed frame instruction video has been live for about three weeks, and the public's verdict?
"I watched this and still didn't understand," one commenter said.
IKEA's YouTube representative responded to the poor commenter, apologizing for the troubles and suggesting users who are still confused to write IKEA at firstname.lastname@example.com or call the customer service line to provide feedbacks on how the videos can be improved.
But it's not exactly the videos that users are truly having a problem with, it's the basic idea that these instructions are not at all intuitive. Why IKEA hasn't hired technical writers, we will never know or understand. How is someone supposed to figure out how to create a computer desk out of piles of wood with just random figures and barely any words? While the solution to move to a more humanized, guided visual content certainly helps, the company should just invest more time in writing better instructions and hire translators to make them friendly for all 38 countries it currently services.
What do you think of the IKEA instruction situation? Are the major issues addressed with tutorial videos, or should IKEA revamp its instruction model from scratch? If they choose to do the latter, we'll certainly appreciate the effort but miss the various parodies that have been inspired by these jumbled cartoon panels.

10 Photos Capturing Moments of Spontaneous Badassery
It's easy to look badass with careful planning: Whether it's entering a prize fight, acting in intense action scenes with the benefit of careful choreography or just waiting for the crowd to gather before you jump your dirt bike over 16 flaming tigers, the common thread is always planning and forethought. It's a lot harder to come off as a total badass in the heat of the moment, with no warning, no setup and no pretense. Hard, but not impossible:
Mildly Amused Riot Guy
Clearly, there is some serious shit going down in the foreground of this photo: an altercation, an argument, a dramatic scene or a hurried arrest. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on, but two things are certain: It happened suddenly and it is violently intense. But that smooth bastard in the background is wholly unfazed: He's just there, enjoying his beverage and the kind of cool breeze that only three unclasped shirt buttons can afford. If he's feeling anything at all, it's sure not shock. Mostly likely he's just appreciating the brief entertainment that Frank Stallone trying to forcibly gift-wrap Corey Haim to death has provided, before he has to go have sex with yet another supermodel on yet another yacht racing off yet another waterfall. Tedious.
New in Men's Fashion: Rocket Launchers
A good fashion sense is nothing if you don't know how to accessorize. Sure, this guy is looking slick in his leather boots, black jeans, frog-enclosure sweater, gray parka and ivy cap. But what really makes this outfit are the fireman's gloves, RPG and riot shield. But while you're busy just marveling at the casual, tongue-stuck-out-with-a-kind-of-good-humored-exertion expression of this armed to the teeth rioter, you're missing two important facts. One: Riots are not like playing action figures at your friends house; equal weaponry is not distributed to all participants. He took that RPG and riot shield from a police officer at some point. And two: Fanny pack. I know, right? Kind of ruins the effect, doesn't it? Somebody should say something.
P-probably you.
The Frugal Pilot
Fake! I can tell by the pixels. There are literally thousands of them. This picture is basically nothing but pixels; that's how I know it's been modified. Plus, there's just no way somebody ejects 20 goddamn feet from impact. Life isn't that dramatic. Also, you're telling me somebody snapped that exact frame--the very instant a fighter jet starts breakdancing on the tarmac? Way too convenient. Oh, and finally: If this were real, why would the pilot eject that late? What kind of hardass sumbitch hangs on that long? Unless that jet was made by Knight Industries and talked like KITT from Knight Rider--allowing both man and machine to develop a long-standing bond over many years of thwarting smugglers and spies together--there's not a pilot alive who'd try that hard to save their plane. Why, one second later and he'd be...
Yeah, there. The craziest part? That little dude up there survived. That's not just laughing in the face of death; that's cumming on it after a night of filthy passion and promising to call later (but not).
Disappointing Fire Tornado
Image thanks to Mezrin
And here we have an angry old testament God practicing his fireballs. One could be forgiven for seeing this and thinking "badass, fire tornado!" But that's not why this picture is on this particular list. No, it's here because of the fireman. Look closely:
He is, if anything, a bit disappointed. That posture is not the one you adopt right before screaming "watch out guys, fire tornado!" or "holy shit magic is real and it's being used on me!" or even just "that was unexpected." That is the posture one adopts right before muttering "no, no it's okay I guess. It's my fault really: I've been hearing so much about this 'twister of pure, hellish fire' thing for so long - I guess I just expected it to be, I don't know, impressive."
Epic Beard Rescue Squad, Go!
Unlike the previous photo, this picture is nothing but questions: Namely, what Middle Eastern army is employing old-timey pirates? Why is that magnificent bearded motherfucker wearing headphones? What is he listening to? And most importantly, what are they running from? Luckily, I have answers. In order, they are: The awesome kind, because this shit gets boring when it's your 9-to-5; Whitney Houston's cover of "I Will Always Love You" from the smash hit The Bodyguard (for atmosphere); and those cows look an ungodly level of pissed off.

Two people were arrested in separated incidents Sunday night on charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated, the Erie County Sheriff's Office reported.
At about 8:40 p.m., William H. Max, 46, of Blasdell was stopped on Route 39 near Route 219 in Springville for speeding. A breath test indicated his blood alcohol content level was .19 percent. Authorities learned he had a previous DWI conviction from 2004, which led to an additional charge of felony DWI. He was issued tickets for traffic violations as well. He was processed and released on appearance tickets.
Then shortly before 10 p.m., James P. Schraufstetter, 19, of Lancaster was pulled over for erratic driving on Jerge Drive in Elma.
A breath test showed his alcohol level was .20 percent, two and a half times the legal limit. He was also charged with marijuana possession and traffic infractions. He was processed and released on appearance tickets.

LOCKPORT – Michael D. Maacks, 25, of South Street, Lockport, pleaded not guilty in Niagara County Court Monday to an indictment charging him with stealing equipment from a Lockport business and possessing property stolen from an Amherst construction site.
Maacks is charged with third-degree grand larceny and fourth-degree criminal mischief in connection with an April 16 theft of tools and copper wire from Custom Crews in Lockport, Assistant District Attorney Brian D. Seaman said.
Maacks also faces counts of third-degree criminal possession of stolen property and possession of burglary tools, stemming from a May 14 arrest in North Tonawanda, where police stopped a rented truck containing $15,000 worth of stolen tools, supplies and copper pipes and fittings taken from Amherst.
Codefendant Shane R. Pearce, 24, of Walnut Street, Lockport, pleaded guilty Oct. 9 to third-degree criminal possession of stolen property and agreed to testify against Maacks in the North Tonawanda case. Pearce was assigned to the judicial diversion program of court-supervised drug treatment.

OTTAWA – It was 10 games later than he'd hoped, but Adam Pardy finally made his debut for the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday.
The defenseman, acquired over the summer as part of the Steve Ott-Derek Roy trade, figured he'd start the season with the Sabres. But with a logjam on the blue line and little knowledge of Pardy's ability, the Sabres stuck with the eight defensemen they knew, waived Pardy and sent him to Rochester.
He flourished with the Amerks despite mentally struggling with the demotion. The Sabres summoned him to face Ottawa when injuries to Robyn Regehr, Andrej Sekera and Christian Ehrhoff depleted the once-burgeoning ranks.
"It was tough off the start, but it's funny how things kind of happen," Pardy said in Scotiabank Place. "You get a couple injuries, then the next thing you know you're right back here. I'm excited for this opportunity."
Pardy's presence allowed the Sabres to put together a sizeable pair. The 6-foot-4, 226-pound Pardy joined 6-8 Tyler Myers.
"As the game went on, I started to feel more comfortable," said Pardy, who recorded three hits, two shots, two blocked shots and a holding penalty in 18:25.
The organization quickly grew comfortable with Pardy after watching him excel with the Amerks. He had one goal, three points and a plus-3 rating in five games while skating more than 20 minutes per night.
It was a welcomed workload. He totaled just 66 games over the last two seasons with Calgary and Dallas after suffering a shoulder injury with the Flames and getting scratched with the Stars.
"I didn't get to play a lot of games, then with the lockout missing four months, I didn't play at all," Pardy said. "It was nice to play those games down there and just play a lot of minutes and play a lot of situations. It's really helped to get that mental stability back to be able to come back and play a game."
It didn't take long for Ehrhoff to figure out he wasn't ready to play. The defenseman attempted to join the Sabres for the morning skate, but after a few twirls around the ice he quickly departed to the dressing room.
"He didn't make it through it, so he won't be playing," Ruff said.
Ehrhoff has a muscle strain, according to the coach. The Sabres' most consistent defenseman played 23:21 Sunday against Florida, including the final shift of the 4-3 loss.
"This is just a muscular thing that just popped up," Ruff said. "That's all."
Sekera, who took a slap shot off his foot in Montreal, made the trip but didn't skate. He vigorously rode a stationary bike in a hallway while his teammates prepared to take the ice.
"He's awesome riding a bike but can't put a skate on yet," Ruff said.
Patrick Kaleta appears to be improving. Ville Leino is not.
Kaleta, who has been out since being hospitalized with a neck injury Jan. 29, skated on his own Tuesday in Buffalo.
"Patrick had a full skate, went really through a full warm-up, so that's great for him," Ruff said. "He's on the road to recovery."
Leino, however, still isn't close to playing his first game of the season. His hip ailment didn't respond to the Sabres' last course of treatment, so they've attempted another undisclosed wellness plan.
Ruff said they have not yet discussed surgery on the hip but concedes he is fearful of losing Leino for the season.
"I guess the answer would be yes because he hasn't played yet," Ruff said. "We're trying a different type of treatment again for what he has. You hope you can gain some traction from it. The answer is I don't know."

Area product manager's strategy in Nokia NMS/2000 aftersales process
Hämäläinen, Anne

Department: Teollisuustalouden laitos
The research problem of the study can be outlined as follows: How should the Area Product Manager (APM) operate in order to maintain or improve the customer satisfaction in Nokia NMS/2000, operation and maintenance center, aftersales process? -In order to find the strategy operator's business, APM's role, key tasks, responsibilities and activities in GSM Network management system have been viewed. -Understanding the operators' business is very important issue, it is the basis of the whole strategy. Participation in Account Team's meetings is very important for APMs. This Account management process not only takes a partnership-oriented but also a teambased approach to anticipate and meet customer needs leading to maximum customer satisfaction. However, Account Teams do not work always as efficiently as possible and therefore the Account management process still requires more work and improving. -There is not the one and only strategy for Area Product Manager in aftersales process, because culture makes differences, operators are in different phases of a network lifecycle, personal attitudes and working behaviour in an Account Team have an effect as well. However, APM must have unique selling proposition (USP) for every customer. APM has to figure out what to say to the customer to produce the desired response. -The significance of sales argumentation is increasing and it means that:- The argumentation should be more commercially motivated.- APMs should see GSM/DCS operation and maintenance centre more as a solution to the customer than a technical product.- More sales training for APMs are needed as well, the approach should move from technical to more commercial so that technical information is presented in more understandable way.

An abandoned pressure cooker left at Lakeview Commons caused police to shut down Highway 50 in the area for two hours Sunday while they investigated the device.
Just before 7 p.m., the South Lake Tahoe 911 center received a call saying the device was abandoned on the ground at Lakeview Commons, according to a press release from South Lake Tahoe Police Department. The Race the Lake of the Sky paddleboard event was taking place at the time. With the help of event organizers, police cleared the immediate area and diverted traffic on Highway 50 around the area of Lakeview Commons. The Tahoe Douglas Bomb Squad responded and attempted to destroy the cooker with their bomb robot. When that failed, a bomb team member wearing protective gear walked in and destroyed the device with a P.A.N. Disrupter, which is a type of water cannon, according to the release.
Once the device was rendered safe, it was determined to be an industrial-size electronic rice cooker which contained food. Traffic was diverted for about two hours.

The Wall Street Journal is
reporting that a new version of Apple's iPad -- one with a faster
processor and at least a front-facing camera -- is now being manufactured.
Despite earlier
reports of improved resolution, the unnamed sources in the WSJ report
fail to corroborate that rumor, saying that the new iPad will have a resolution
similar to its first-generation cohort. "People familiar with the
situation said Apple has had trouble improving the display technology, in part
because of the iPad screen's larger size compared with the iPhone," WSJ reports.
the new device is allegedly lighter and thinner than the current iPad, will
boast more memory, a more powerful GPU, and will sport at least a front-facing
camera for video conferencing.
Since its
debut in last April, the iPad has reportedly
moved 14.8 million units. The iPad 2 is expected to launch in the next
few months, and will be available from both Verizon and AT&T at roughly the
same price as the current model. Analysts Piper Jaffray & Co. predict
Apple will move 27 million iPads this year, while others predict a number as
high as 35 million units.
Meanwhile, research
firm IHS iSuppli believes that the iPad's market share could decline to less
than 50% of the tablet market that by 2013.

Former Stetson star Gonzalo De Mujica is set to start the 2013 season with the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers of the North American Soccer League (NASL). The Weston, Fla. native signed with the Strikers on Jan. 31 and has competed in all three preseason games thus far.
De Mujica earned a degree in International Business from Stetson University after starting for three seasons in the midfield for the Hatters, and leading the team to an Atlantic Sun Conference Championship in 2009. He was a two-time all-conference selection, and a Third Team NSCAA Scholar All-American as a senior.
"I definitely became better as a player," De Mujica said of his time at Stetson. "When I came in I was a little skinny kid and I realized early on how physical the college game is. Getting used to the physical nature of the game was definitely the biggest adjustment for me.
"Coach was always very positive and helpful with me," De Mujica went on to say about Stetson head coach T. Logan Fleck. "He definitely helped me become a better player by looking at the game with a different perspective. He taught me how to take control of the midfield."
Playing with Orlando City U-23, the FC JAX Destoryers, and Schulz Academy since leaving Stetson, De Mujica's goals for this season are to make the starting 11 while adapting to the new level of play and learning his role within the team.
"In college I was not under too much pressure," De Mujica continued. "I knew I was a starter and so I was comfortable. In the pros, you have to be 100% the whole time because there are always guys on your heels looking to take your spot. Being consistent is really important."
The spring season for the Strikers, who finished fifth out of eight teams last season, begins on April 6. De Mujica and Ft. Lauderdale squad host FC Edmonton at 7:30 p.m.

ROCKFORD — Generally, most of the recognition in volleyball goes to the front row players.
Setters are usually the unsung heroes on the court, making others around them better. But that's what made Bryanna Weiskircher not just good, or very good, but great.
"Good setters have the ability to make a mediocre team look good," Boylan coach Amanda Carlson said. "She was someone that made everyone look better.
"Even though you're not supposed to notice a setter, it was really hard not to notice her just because she's so competitive and so determined and so talented."
Weiskircher was an all-state setter who was named NIC-10 volleyball MVP three times, as her versatility helped her finish with 341 assists, 239 kills, 232 digs, 51 aces and 43 blocks her senior year and helped lead Boylan to a 32-2 record last fall. The Penn State recruit was named NIC-10 Female Athlete of the Year at Wednesday's NIC-10 banquet.
"The leadership qualities she possesses, her competitiveness gives her the ability to take a team on her shoulders when necessary," Carlson said. "In terms of MVP, I think she's someone that's worthy of that distinction in terms of her level of contributions that she's made not just with us, but in her entire athletic career.
"The recognition she's received nationally and the fact that she's part of the No. 1 recruiting class for Penn State is just a testament on her abilities as a leader and a competitor and as a player."
Carlson said Weiskircher's will to win was evident at an early age.
"One moment that I'll never forget," Carlson said, "It was her sophomore year and we were playing Belvidere at home. We were inconsistent because we were young and we went three (games) with everyone.
"It was a tight third set and she hit a ball so hard that it bounced on the floor and bounced up and hit the top of the basketball backboard. And I remember looking at her brother and I said ')h my gosh, I think she wants to win.' And it was one of those matches where she put us on her back and we rolled with it."

LEWISTOWN - Boomer was a stud dog, raised in a kennel and turned over to a shelter when he was of no further use.
But his life turned around quickly when he was lucky enough to be picked up by Rescue Our Furry Friends in Burnham. Now a happy, healthy 7-year-old Labrador Retriever with a new family of his own, Boomer has a chance to help the rescue that saved him.
Boomer is one of 100 finalists in the Fuzzy Nation Super Model photo contest, sponsored by the Petfinder Foundation. If he wins, ROFF will receive a grant of $15,000 from the foundation.

Submitted photo
Boomer, a 7-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever, is one of 100 finalists in the Fuzzy Nation Super Model photo contest. If Boomer wins, $15,000 will be awarded to Rescue Our Furry Friends in Burnham. Public voting continues through Oct. 12 on the Fuzzy Nation Facebook page.
"Right now, we are low on our finances, so the money would be a huge, huge help to us," Sue DeArmitt, secretary on the board at ROFF, said.
According to its website, the ROFF organization was established in 2004 and has placed more than 350 dogs and 250 cats locally. Since the rescue does not have its own facility, every animal surrendered to or received by ROFF receives full vet care and is spayed or neutered before being placed in approved foster homes. DeArmitt said ROFF provides foster families with crates, food, treats and toys and pays veterinary costs until the animals are adopted.
Although the work is rewarding, dwindling funds amid increasing need in the community limit the number of animals ROFF can help. DeArmitt said ROFF is unable to accept new animals at this time.
"It's very, very hard when people call ... to tell them, 'I'm sorry,'" but the group can't rescue the animals, DeArmitt said.
If anyone can offer a helping hand - or paw - Paula Wray, of Decatur Township, says it's Boomer. She and her husband, Don Reed, adopted Boomer from ROFF three years ago and have deemed him the "world's nicest dog."
"Boomer has both looks and personality," she said. "I have had a few (dogs) before him that I loved, but they were not so gentle."
If not his soft yellow locks or friendly personality, Boomer is sure to captivate audiences with his contagious smile.
"We did notice right away how Boomer can smile. He does this when he is especially happy to see you," Wray said.
On Wednesday afternoon, Boomer's photo was ahead of some finalists in the Fuzzy Nation contest, but still trailing far behind the leading entries. With help from the community, Boomer still has a chance to pull into the lead before the contest ends on Oct. 12.
Supporters can vote for Boomer once daily through the Fuzzy Nation Facebook application at www.facebook.com/fuzzynation/app_117170818364057. To increase voting power, use a multiplier code: JuJYjx for 100 votes; TECeGp for 50 votes; JD7w8x for 25 votes; 9vDe2q for 10 votes; or 3Gud8Q for 2 votes.
"It's not so much for Boomer, but ROFF deserves to win. These people work tirelessly and are constantly in need of money to keep helping animals," Wray said.
For more information about ROFF, visit www.roff.cc. The rescue will also host a benefit dinner from 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 6 at Milroy Fire House. The money will help cover veterinary and care costs for foster animals. Call (877) 933-7633 to register.

Vice Chair, Department of Surgery; Head, Division of General Surgical Oncology; Leslie H. Blumgart Chair in Surgery
About Me
I am a surgical oncologist who specializes in treating men and women with diseases of the liver, bile duct, gallbladder, and pancreas. Since joining the Memorial Sloan Kettering faculty in 1999, I have been part of a multidisciplinary team of surgeons, gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, medical oncologists, nurse practitioners, and specialty nurses who care for patients with these cancers.
As Head of Memorial Sloan Kettering's Division of General Surgical Oncology, I oversee the Hepatopancreatobiliary, Colorectal, and Gastric and Mixed Tumor services in the Department of Surgery. We are committed to providing the highest level of surgical care for patients with cancer and routinely perform complex surgical procedures to remove tumors in these organs.
My clinical research has focused on liver, bile duct, gallbladder, and pancreas cancers. In addition, I have led several national trials testing the benefit of imatinib mesylate (Gleevec) following surgery for gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), a tumor that usually begins in the stomach or intestine. To help patients and their families better understand these complicated diseases, I co-authored two books — "100 Questions & Answers About Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)" and "100 Questions & Answers About Liver Cancer".
In the laboratory my colleagues and I study the immune environment of the liver and tumor immunology. We are working to develop immune therapies to help prevent tumors from returning after surgery. Our research has been supported by several grants from the National Institutes of Health and generous gifts from patients and philanthropic foundations.

The core values of Quality and Safety have been fundamental to Volvo ever since the company was founded in 1927. At the beginning of the 1970s, Volvo extended its safety philosophy to include not only personal safety but also those aspects affecting human health and the surrounding environment. As a result, Environment is now the third of our core values.
Safety: In our view, safety is about people, about all of us, about you. As our founders put it, "An automobile carries, and is driven by, people. Safety is and must be the basic principle in all design work".
Environmental care: Our environmental commitment doesn't just stay on the desk. We always look at the full life cycle of a product, starting with materials extraction and moving to better, more sustainable methods of manufacturing, running, servicing, and recycling.
Quality: A truck must be able to handle important transport assignments 24 hours a day. It has to be reliable: reliability is the measure of quality in trucks. And reliability equals uptime.

Opko Health is getting $17.5 million in cash for selling its ophthalmic instrumentation business to Optos. Opko will also earn future royalties. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year.
Optos will take over Opko's worldwide activities for the development and commercialization of ophthalmic diagnostic imaging systems. It will couple Opko's OCT SLO technology with its own widefield technology to diagnose and manage diseases of the eye. Optos specializes in the design, development, manufacture, and marketing of devices to image the retina of the eye.
"Following the sale of the instrumentation business, Opko expects to benefit from greater focus on our molecular diagnostics and pharmaceutical businesses," says Phillip Frost, M.D., Opko's CEO.
Opko has a Phase III-ready siRNA-based drug called bevasiranib that is being tested for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It targets vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). On March 6, 2009, Opko terminated the late-stage bevasiranib study because the Independent Data Monitoring Committee found that the clinical trial, as designed, was unlikely to achieve its primary endpoint of reducing vision loss.
Opko says that it is looking for alternative ways to develop bevasiranib. These include new dosing schedules, combining it with marketed products, and enhancing delivery with novel siRNA delivery vehicles.
Opko also has siRNAs against other molecular targets involved in the pathogenesis of AMD and other diseases. These include VEGF-specific isoforms (e.g., VEGF165b-sparing), hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1alpha), intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), and complement factor, C3.
In terms of molecular diagnostics, Opko is developing tools based on peptoid chemistry to detect disease-specific antibodies. It expects to develop blood tests that can be used to diagnosis disease, follow disease progression, assess response to drug treatment, and select patients who are most likely to respond to a given therapy.
In addition to diagnostic applications, peptoids can serve as ligands for virtually any protein targets including antibodies, cellular receptors, protein signaling molecules, etc., according to Opko. They can also potentially illicit cell-mediated and humoral immune responses.
The peptoid technology was developed at The University of Texas South Western Medical Center by Thomas Kodadek, Ph.D. In June 2009, Opko picked up exclusive, worldwide rights to the platform. Besides diagnostic development, the firm also expects to leverage peptoids in therapeutics and vaccines.
Opko furthered its interest in vaccines a month later. In July 2009, Opko inked a worldwide, exclusive license agreement with Academia Sinica for a technology to develop protein vaccines against influenza and other viral infections. The technology was discovered by Dr. Chi-Huey Wong and his team at Academia Sinica, which is based in Taipei.
Opko is forming a subsidiary in Taiwan to collaborate closely with Academia Sinica to develop the first product, a universal flu vaccine to surmount the problem of the emergence of new strains against which vaccines produced with presently available technology do not provide satisfactory protection. The preclinical development has reportedly started.
This development will provide a protein-based flu vaccine which is expected to cross react with the H1, H3, or H5 flu variances. Instead of the typical method of making a cocktail of inactivated viruses for annual flu shots, this new approach to antiviral vaccines is designed to recognize and destroy new strains of flu virus before the virus has a chance to mutate.
