From UFC 121 to Brett Favre to Cain Velasquez, Sunday's top sports headlines cover a little bit of everything.
In Saturday night's much-anticipated UFC 121 title bout featuring Brock Lesnar, Cain Velasquez took down the former undisputed heavyweight champ in the very first round.
In addition, according to bloodyelbow.com, WWE star "The Undertaker" confronted Lesnar on camera—in what appears to be a work, Kid Nate writes on the site.
More on the Lesnar/Undertaker confrontation following last night's UFC main bout will be addressed later.
Also, numerous stories have surfaced concerning Brett Favre about the Minnesota Vikings quarterback admitting to making phone calls and leaving messages on Jenn Sterger's cell phone.
But, according to Fox Sports reports, Favre has not admitted to sending her photos.
Fox Sports also confirmed that the battered Vikings QB has admitted to leaving voicemails for Sterger.
Let's move on by taking a quick and solid glance at Sunday's top sports news...

West Ashley was ground zero this morning's campaigning for the 1st Congressional District, as both Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch and Republican Mark Sanford separately stopped by several small businesses.
Colbert Busch mingled with shoppers and business owners at South Windermere Shopping Center and briefly touched on the three parts to her platform: creating jobs, getting the nation's fiscal house in order, and being a congresswoman voters can trust.
Sanford visited shops at St. Andrew's Center and also posed for pictures with supporters. He said voters need to realize there is a big philosophical difference between how he and his opponent would approach problems in Washington.
As the state's political attention shifts to Columbia Friday — as Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Sen Ted Cruz, R-Texas arrive to speak at their respective party's big fundraising dinner — the 1st District candidates will stay home.
Colbert Busch has no other public events set for today. Sanford will be back downtown this evening for a private fundraiser with Gov. Nikki Haley.
The election is May 7.

Education quality score: 98.01
Median home price: $694,300
Population: 23,216
This bucolic Boston suburb, bordered by upscale towns like brainy Cambridge and beatific Arlington, has a surplus of stately manses (thus its moniker, "the town of homes"), verdant open spaces, and stellar schools offering a bounty of academic bells and whistles.
Of the schools — four elementary, one middle, and one high — Belmont High is the district's all-star, winning the 2009 gold medal from U.S. News & World Report, which also named it the country's 100th-best non-private high school and Massachusetts's second best. Belmont High offers a stunning 16 Advanced Placement courses, has outstanding athletic departments, and boasts a nationally recognized music program, rated among the top 100 for public schools. High expectations for excellence begin early. From elementary school on, students receive stellar test scores and high marks. The district's secret? Being an affluent town hardly hurts. But Belmont has a long-standing tradition of community service: Parents and town organizations contribute significant money and time to enhance the schools; in turn, kindergarten through 12th-grade students are expected to participate regularly in community service, from working in food banks to hosting relief fundraisers.

The irregularly shaped scenic pool has been restored.
The circle leading to the pool now has tinted concrete and exposed stone aggregate, mimicking the original crushed shale that the designer wanted to be stained yellowish-orange.
And paper birch, eastern hemlock and northern spy apple trees chosen by the master architect for the home grounds have been planted.
The changes completed this week at the Graycliff Estate in Derby restore one of the rare landscapes that Frank Lloyd Wright actually designed by hand over a prolific career that spanned more than half a century.
"We are thrilled with the completion of this important landscape project," said Reine Hauser, Graycliff's executive director. "The restoration is a very significant step forward for Graycliff, and for historic landscape architecture in the United States."
The work, which cost about $650,000, was guided by the nonprofit Graycliff Conservancy, established in 1997 to acquire, preserve and restore the eight-acre estate, including the main building, the Isabelle R. Martin House.
Larkin Soap executive Darwin D. Martin and his wife, Isabelle, commissioned Wright to build their summer home at Graycliff, which members of the family inhabited from 1927 until the mid-1940s.
Wright designed the pool to echo Lake Erie when the estate was completed in 1931. It was filled in decades later, and volunteers dug it out about 10 years ago. The pool and fountain now have a double concrete liner, new circulation system and historically accurate plantings.
The circle leading to the pool and the drive leading to it also have been restored to look like the earlier time, with the new materials recalling the original crushed shale. The changes were made to eliminate shale dust from being tracked through the buildings and to make the path more handicapped-accessible. New, accurately sized boulders have also been added around the pool.
In addition, a stair tower endangered by ice and winter storms off Lake Erie has been protected by temporarily removing a bridge for storage and future restoration. Nonhistoric trees and shrubs were removed, replaced by trees, shrubs and lawns that Wright originally called for.
More work on the interiors of the buildings will now take center stage, Hauser said, although there is no timeline or projected completion date.
"We're probably about 80 percent done, because all the structural work, including building exteriors, has been completed on all three buildings. We now see the light at the end of this tunnel," Hauser said.
The work was aided by Heritage Landscapes of Vermont and Connecticut, which prepared a Cultural Landscape Report on what the estate looked like when it opened, and determined that architect Ellen Biddle Shipman had later designed an Arts & Crafts-style garden. Drawings and construction supervision were done by Pressley Associates of Boston, and the contractor was Catco.
The estate is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a designated New York State Landmark. For details on touring Graycliff Estate, see http//: graycliffestate.org.

Friends may visit from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday at Dawson Funeral Home where services are planned for 11 a.m. Monday with Pastor Norm Eckert officiating.
Burial will take place in Columbiana County Memorial Park.
Family and friends will gather at the Dawson Family Center following the services.

A Comparative Study of Bankruptcy as Bailout
Stephanie Ben-Ishai
York University - Osgoode Hall Law School
Stephen J. Lubben
Seton Hall University - School of Law
March 7, 2011
Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial and Commercial Law, Forthcoming
Seton Hall Public Law Research Paper No. 1780550
In this article, using a comparative approach (Canadian versus American and automotive versus financial sectors), we build on the defense of the Chapter 11 automotive cases that one of us has already put forward elsewhere. That is, the Chrysler and GM cases did not subvert normal Chapter 11 practice. Rather, we argue that the automotive cases are a good case study of how governments can provide money to a failing but significant industry in a consistent and transparent manner. This article is not about whether governments should fund failing industries. Rather, we argue that once such a decision has been made, the bankruptcy system is an effective way to implement such a decision. Further, using the bankruptcy system to effect government funding of a failing industry does not distort the bankruptcy system.

The subjects of this Friday Folks instalment are just a bit different to the artists, craftspeople and creative business owners we normally feature. Simon & Erin, founders of Never Ending Voyage, are a couple who are almost 3 years into a lifetime of travel – they are the epitome of the term "free spirits".
Adelle & Erin met when they worked together for a few years at Community Arts North West in Manchester. We've been following the blog she writes (and the gorgeous photos she takes) from the very start – it fills us with pangs of wanderlust of our own!
Who are you & what do you do?
We are Erin McNeaney and Simon Fairbairn a digital nomad couple who sold everything we owned and left the UK in March 2010 to travel the world forever. Since then we've travelled to South America, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, working online as we go.
We fund our travels through our travel blog, Never Ending Voyage and through our web design & development business. Recently we've moved away from client work and have begun to create our own digital products. Our first iPhone app will be out soon – it's called Trail Wallet and helps travellers track their travel expenses easily and quickly.
How did you plan for and continue to maintain a life of long term travelling?
We cut our expenses right down and saved enough money to keep us going for the first year while we got the business off the ground. We sold almost everything we owned except for a few personal items like photo albums that we left with Simon's mum, and what we could fit into a carry-on size backpack each.
We didn't really get the business started until we'd left the UK. We started our travel blog 10 days before we left and it took about 18 months of regular updating and marketing through social media, guest posts etc before we made a regular income from it through advertising and affiliate commissions.
Simon started out doing web design & development projects for family & friends and got more jobs through word of mouth. We also had a lot of clients find us through our travel blog.
Who or what inspires you?
We've been travelling for two years and eight months now and our travels continue to inspire us. We love learning about different cultures, trying new food and enjoying amazing landscapes.
What has been your greatest success?
Taking command of our own lives and taking the step to sell everything and travel permanently. And that through writing about it on Never Ending Voyage we've inspired others to travel too.
Have you got any advice for someone wanting to do the same?
Cut down your expenses, get out of debt and start saving. Figure out the skills you have that you could do online – writers, designers and developers are the most obvious digital nomad friendly careers but we know people who teach, consult and coach online.
We'd recommend doing what we didn't do and getting your business up & running before you start travelling. It's hard to balance work & travel and if you've already got some income coming in from your business it'll make things easier.

Griffins Features
Nov. 29, 2010
As the hockey season rolls along, it is not typical for a team to look back. First and foremost is the next game and what lies ahead on the schedule. However, the past week was no typical stretch for the Griffins, who set or tied several franchise records. So, we feel it is necessary to reflect on the past just this once.
Let's begin with Wednesday's matinee contest in Toronto on Nov. 24. The start of Grand Rapids' first four-in-five of the season, the game saw nine roughing penalties called through the first two periods, but no majors were whistled. All seemed normal with a little extra pushing and shoving entering the second intermission.
It did not take long for the sparks to fly during the final frame, as Greg Amadio paired up with Jay Rosehill and Brandon Straub dropped the gloves with Danny Richmond just 3:39 in. Shortly after, tempers escalated and a line brawl broke out at 5:45 that saw Jamie Tardif, Tomas Tatar and Francis Pare ejected for the Griffins and Darryl Boyce, Korbinian Holzer and Matt Lashoff kicked out for the Marlies. All that was missing was a goalie fight during the old-fashioned donnybrook.
Cooler heads failed to prevail as two more fights and several scrums broke out before the final horn. When all was said and done, the Griffins were whistled off for a franchise-record 112 PIM, breaking the mark of 104 that was set 13 seasons ago on April 11, 1998 versus Quebec. The game's combined 218 PIM, which also set a Griffins record, included 184 PIM during the third period (96 for Grand Rapids, 88 for Toronto).
As a result of the sin-bin affair, the Griffins vaulted into first place in the AHL for both PIM (531) and game misconducts (6) as of the conclusion of the Thanksgiving weekend.
The penalty box was not the only area for which the Griffins set new standards this past week, as their historic 10-8 win in Chicago on Saturday, Nov. 27 broke records in numerous categories. Rather than go into great detail about what happened, here is rundown of the records and notes from that game, taken straight from the Nov. 28 game notes we were able to put together after some in depth research;
Seem like a lot to take in? As stated above, after the week the Griffins had surrounding the Thanksgiving holiday, making an exception to the rule about looking back seemed appropriate in this situation in order to process all the fine details.
From here though, it is full speed ahead for Grand Rapids, which looks to build on this record-setting week as the team aims to climb in the standings.

On October 3rd, at the Lymphoma & Myeloma 2002 clinical conference in New York City, Dr. Rubin Niesvizky presented me with an award in recognition of the work that I have done on behalf of myeloma patients and their families. I was particularly gratified to receive an award named for Dr. Joseph Michaeli, a very talented and dedicated man who made helping myeloma patients his life's work.
My co-recipient was Kathy Giusti of the MMRF whose efforts have greatly increased the level of myeloma research being performed. I met Kathy in June 1996 when she and her family, like so many others in need of information, attended an IMF Patient & Family Seminar. After meeting her I thought, "This woman is a dynamo!" and I guess I was right.
Unlike the clinicians in attendance at this conference, who set out to spend their lives working in myeloma, this terrible disease just happened to find its way into my life when my fiancé Brian Novis was diagnosed in 1988. Brian received his diagnosis over the phone. His doctor called him at work and said, "You have multiple myeloma." Brian said, "What's that?" The doctor replied "It's a cancer of the bone marrow, you have 3 to 5 years to live, stop by my office on your way home."
Like everyone who hears the words multiple myeloma for the first time, we were in shock and, worst of all, we felt completely alone. Fourteen years ago, there was no place for myeloma patients and their families to turn to for help. Brian was determined to change that and in 1989 during a visit to England to see Dr. Brian Durie, the idea for the IMF was born. In 1990, we opened the door to a foundation that would forever change the lives of myeloma patients and their families.
From the very beginning, the IMF was a grassroots organization. We are about people helping people. Over the years, the IMF family has grown to over 100,000 members in 64 countries as patients and caregivers have stepped forward to look beyond their own battle with myeloma to help others. Special people like June Brazil, Lee Grayson, Sharon Rudolf, Leta Garvet, Elliot Bernstein, Michael Katz, Gary Takata, Cathy Lebkeucher, Peter Tischler, Michael Touhy, the list goes on and on.
From the very beginning, the IMF's goals have been education, support, and research but our focus is always on the patient. For the past 12 years, we've had one mission in mind — to improve the lives of myeloma patients today, because no-one knows what tomorrow brings.
Knowledge is power — the IMF has sent out over 150,000 free information packages and has developed programs to ensure that patients are empowered by the information they need to make intelligent decisions about what's right for them. As evidenced at this conference, there are a lot of treatment options. Education is the cornerstone of the IMF — many of the programs we've developed have become models both inside and outside of the myeloma community and thousands of patients and family members have attended the more than 50 IMF Patient & Family Seminars held around the world. Since many of the myeloma experts who have participated at IMF seminars presented at this clinical conference, I took the opportunity to thank them for donating their time and talent to help the IMF help others.
I also thanked the researchers for working so hard to try to put an end to cancer and the pain and suffering it causes. I thanked the clinicians for doing their very best to help the patients, knowing that they don't have that magic bullet to cure them, but using all they have in their toolbox to give them quality of life and the precious gift of time.
I've worked hard — it's a labor of love — but what I do is easy compared to the people who really deserve this award: the patients. So I accepted it on their behalf, in recognition of the courage, grace, dignity, and humor they display in their fight against this terrible disease, and on behalf of the thousands of friends that I've made and lost, who enriched my life and made me believe Brian Novis was right when he said, "One person can make a difference, two can make a miracle."

Customer Reviews
Not able to make phone call after purchased one month unlimited plan
I am really disappointed with fring! This is not the first time, I paid for one month unlimited plan, even I received the receipt confirmed that I have already paid for the service, but I just can't call! Every time, fring keep giving me message saying that I don't have enough credit! Last time, it happened the same until 10 days later, fring finally showed my purchased! But I already lost 10 days! This is absolutely not a fair business! Fring customer service is horrible, you can never get answer from them!
Good when you can connect
I only use this for voice calls to a landline from a mobile. More often than not when the other party answers the call we cannot hear each other or anything on the line, even though the app is saying the call is connected and the quality is good. This happens 4 out of 5 times when I call someone. When the call can eventually connect properly it is good quality and definitely a good price. This would be great if it was more reliable.
Misleading FAQ
The fring FAQ says, "If for some reason, you still want to use other SIP providers, you are welcome too." I can forgive the bad grammar, because the message sounds great. I download the app, only to find that I need to unlock the SIP (or is it SiP, or Sip? – fring writes it all three ways) functionality, which requires $3 of credit. Then I find through the app I can only buy credit in $10 increments. The fring website for fringOut that supposedly lets me buy credits won't let me log in; I just get a greyed out screen.
Fring needs to get their act together technically and be much up front and transparent with its pricing to avoid waiting people's time.

Matthew Schuler Delivers the Performance of the Night on The Voice
But it was Matthew Schuler's night for Team Christina Aguilera. The 20-year-old from Yardley, Pa., brought church to the stage with his emotional take on Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."
The son and grandson of ministers, Schuler offered a passionate tribute to his gospel roots that left his mother – watching from the audience – in tears and his coach praising his follow-through on her advice to "be fearless."
"There is something so magical and the room becomes silent and then you just lift it up, the applause. Everyone is just with you and behind you," Aguilera praised. "You are a gift and you are so blessed. I appreciate you, and I am very humbled and very happy you chose me as your coach."
Also earning major respect from her own coach Monday was Kat Robichaud, who seemed thrilled when Cee Lo Green, who saved her last week, directed her to her rock roots on AWOLNATION's "Sail."
Wearing shimmering silver hot pants, the 29-year-old from Raleigh, N.C., offered up plenty of rock drama and a first for The Voice: Falling back into the audience from the stage, she crowd-surfed, never skipping a beat.
Coach Blake Shelton took notice. "I loved watching Kat. She's like a lion walking around a herd of antelopes in this audience. When you fell over, I said, 'There's no way she can sing through it,' but you sang through it. It was amazing."
Shelton's team also delivered some strong performances, most notably Cole Vosbury, 22, who shined on the R&B hit "Adorn" by Miguel. Sounding like a raspy merge of Joe Cocker and Edwin McCain, the Shreveport, La., native got a standing ovation from the judges.
"Every time Cole gets on stage, I think he brings a gun to a knife song," Shelton enthused. "It's more than you expect and it squashes you."
Shelton got a different kind of flavor out of Louisiana's Ray Boudreaux, who impressed last week with some "swamp pop" from his home state. Taking on John Legend's soulful "All of Me," the 25-year-old drew screams from the women in the audience.
"Ray is sexy and you can't blame me for that," Shelton joked.
Adam Levine was impressed when his team member James Wolpert, a Lancaster, Pa., computer nerd, changed gears again, moving away from his acoustic zone to shine on the Killers' "Mr. Brightside."
"It was almost kind of a dynamic yet controlled and blistering performance," Levine told the 22-year-old. "You just turned into a rock star before our very eyes."
Also rocking it out was the show's youngest finalist, Jacquie Lee, 16, from Team Christina, who showed maturity beyond her years on Jack White's version of U2's "Love is Blindness."
"I love the way you make me feel. I forget to think," Green told the Colts Neck, N.J., student. "I just get lost in it momentarily."
He then paid her the ultimate compliment. "I want to download the version of that record."
The Voice continues Tuesday as the Top 12 are narrowed down to 10. For the first time, viewers can use the show's new "instant save" function, which will also be in place during live eliminations on Nov. 19, Nov. 26 and Dec. 3. For a five-minute window during eliminations, Twitter users with public accounts can vote online to save one artist in the night's bottom three by Tweeting that singer's voting keyword along with a show hashtag.

Can you define these popular missing words?
When you reuse a condom in an instance of 2 or more sexual partners. The "Sock Hop" or so-ho is most occurring in the fashion of at least one male and two females. A pairing of m/f/f is considered a straight event where no emphasis is put the act between female A and female B. If the condom is used it is not replaced after ejaculation or removed. with use in following partners ejaculation may occur again and again. This is said to provide more lubrication. A "Sock Hop" can only occur in one session or sexual acting's once the original grouping is dissolved the "Sock Hop" may cease. THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A NATURAL SEX ACT OR ONE I ADVISED BY ANY SEXUAL EXPERT.

Conger urges Merkley to back Obamacare delay
Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend, who is seeking to unseat Sen. Jeff Merkley, called on him Monday to join other Senate Democrats who have signed a letter urging the Obama administration to defer Obamacare's individual mandate.
"Corporations, unions, and even Congress have all been granted Obamacare exemptions – in fact, it seems everyone except everyday Americans has been given special treatment," Conger said in a news release.
"If Sen. Merkley is serious about helping the middle class, he will admit that Obamacare has become a train wreck, join Republicans and many independent-minded Democrats calling for delay of the individual mandate and start working to get Oregonians the same deal as the well connected special interests in Washington DC."
Ten Democrat Senators have signed a letter authored by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.). Currently, Americans are required to buy health insurance through the exchange by March 31st.
The letter asks the Obama administration to extend the health exchange open-enrollment period in light of the troubled rollout.
"I'm surprised Sen. Merkley hasn't already signed the letter," Conger said. "Millions of people across the country will soon get hit with new Obamacare taxes if they don't have health insurance purchased from the government website – which is obviously unfair when the government website does not work."
Conger says he will continue to travel around the state listening to Oregonians discuss how Obamacare has impacted them, their families and their jobs.
"Obamacare was supposed to make health care more affordable. Instead it has made it more expensive," said Conger. "Obamacare is already hurting young adults, seniors, working families and the middle class. Continuing the roll out would be reckless - it needs to be delayed immediately and then completely reconsidered."
An e-mail to Merkley's office seeking a response drew no immediate reply.

Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED
Further readings for the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Sony has been very busy introducing new lenses for their mirrorless models. Announced alongside the FE 50mm F1.8, this lens — the stabilized FE 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 G OSS — is a tele-zoom lens initially designed for the company's full-frame bodies, but it will also appeal to users of Sony's APS-C mirrorless bodies, for which it's the equivalent of a 105-450mm.
The Nikon D750 is an affordable 24.3Mp full-frame DSLR with attractive-looking specs for both the enthusiast and the professional photographer. It's capable of producing outstanding pictures, but the quality of the lens used has a bearing on image quality. We've analyzed the performance of 105 lenses on the Nikon D750, and in part one we bring you an analysis of the top three zoom lenses in six different categories.
Aimed at professional studio and landscape photographers, the full-frame 36-Mpix D800E with its modified AA filter effectively increasing resolution over the standard D800 model is the closest 35mm full-frame camera yet to rival larger formats in rendering fine detail. If you're undecided over which of the two models to choose, we've analyzed the image quality of the Nikon D800E with over 100 different lenses to discover how well this groundbreaking camera performs.
This is the third part in the series of our lens recommendations for the Nikon D7100 where we've analyzed nearly 46 Nikon and third-party telephoto prime and zoom models to assess their optical quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses are the best performers when paired with Nikon's ultra-high resolution 24-Mpix APS-C format semi-pro model.
With the vagaries of photographing wildlife, the flexibility of a telephoto zoom would appear to be an attractive solution. However, image quality is often a compromise at the maximum aperture and longest focal length, typically the most crucial settings. We've pulled some lens data from our database and put together a round up of popular zoom lenses over the years (and made some comparisons with high performance primes). Read on to find out which models have the best image quality.

A long time resident of Lake Tahoe passed away on August 20, 2012. He was 86 years of age. Frank was born and raised in San Francisco, where he attended school. It was here that Frank met and later married his wife Patricia, where they raised their two sons, Frank Jr. and Steven.
Frank worked as a salesman for a plating company and eventually earned an executive position. Frank lived a blessed life - working hard, raising his family and just plain enjoying life to the fullest.
For fun he was an avid fisherman, enjoyed boating, swimming and he loved his cars. He and his family enjoyed wonderful 47 years in Lake Tahoe.
In his late years Frank and Pat moved to Maui, where they both enjoyed watching the sunset and the palm trees grow.
Frank will be greatly missed by his wife Patricia, son Steven, sister Diana, daughter in law Peggy, two grandsons - Justin and Chris (Kelly), granddaughter Emily, and many friends and relatives.
Rest in peace, we miss you. Aloha Frank!

Kovtun is reportedly sick so he couldn't skate.
Well, I certainly hope that Kovtun will get his chance to skate @ Worlds!
I think is better he retired before doing something really stupid to his body.
I cheer a wondeful athlet, who pushed figure skating and himself till their borders. I cheer a charismatic entertainer, which i hope we will see in many many shows. May he push forward now the figure skating shows, bring them in the whole world and win many new fans for FS!

Best is far too subject.
Most accomplished, most consistent, most powerful competitor? Absolutely 100% agree. His reliability was truly insane. His consistency with both the quad and triple axel over a span of 15 years is kind of unbelievable. He landed his first 4-3 when he was like 16 and just did it again at the team event at age 31 with an effed up spine. I'm not much of a fan of his programs but there's no denying his competitive ability and his prodigious talent.
Let's not confuse being a showy skater with being the best. Aside from jumping, Plush is not all that. Plus, he's not very engaging. Of course that is purely subjective
I'm just never drawn into his programs. I might marvel at his jumping ability, but that's as far as it goes.

Billie Joe Armstrong acted like a man with a new lease on life.
The Green Day leader was joyful, energetic and full of passion during his East Bay punk-pop band's sold-out concert at the Greek Theatre. He was happy to be home and performing for the first time in years in Berkeley. Heck, he was just happy period.
"We're all alive," he exclaimed to the 8,500 fans in attendance. "We're all still (expletive) alive!"
What we were witnessing in that moment was a man who had learned, perhaps the hard way, the importance of taking time to smell the roses.
"With so much scary (expletive) going on right now, you've got to live every moment -- every (expletive) moment."
It's safe to assume that he was referencing Monday's tragedy in Boston, but the vocalist-guitarist could've also been alluding to his own his recent experiences. His battle with substance abuse problems led him to rehab and threatened to crush Green Day's career.
It's now an older, wiser Billie Joe Armstrong who fans are seeing take the stage. Yet, one that is no less fun than the previous model.
Kicking off the show with this tour's namesake song, "99 Revolutions," Armstrong acted like a highly caffeinated kid in a candy shop for 2 ½ hours. He buzzed about the stage like a mad man, rarely staying still for more than a few seconds, while captivating the crowd with a ridiculous assortment of juvenile ways. He soaked fans with a water hose, shot both toilet paper and T-shirts into the crowd, and even cuddled onstage with a giant pink bunny.
Ah, yes, the giant pink bunny. It was that costumed character that actually opened the band's set, and provided the one really questionable moment of the night. The bunny staggered about the stage with a drink in each hand, chugging them to the sounds of the Ramones and other lively acts.
Of course, Green Day has never been shy about poking fun at itself. Yet, that the guzzling bunny bit felt inappropriate for a band with a lead singer who recently got out of rehab.
The toilet paper shtick, however, was great.
The quartet -- yes, Green Day is now a quartet, having recently added longtime sideman-guitarist Jason White as an official member -- is touring in support of three new albums. The group released "Uno!," "Dos!" and "Tre!" during a span of just over two months in the fall.
Now, I'm not sure if any major act has ever released more mediocre material in a shorter time period. (OK, Prince probably still has Green Day beat -- since 1996's "Emancipation" was a three-disc set.) Yet, it didn't matter one iota in concert.
In Berkeley, the band played a goodly amount of new songs and was able to make each one matter. If you have listened to "Uno!," "Dos!" and "Tre!," you know that's really saying something.
How'd Green Day do it? The band treated every song like it was the one that mattered most in the set list. Armstrong and company, of course, were wrong in that regard — the ones that mattered most, like on tours' past, were the offerings from 1994's "Dookie" and 2004's "American Idiot."
Green Day certainly didn't disappoint once it got around to playing the longtime fan favorites. The group, which also includes the mighty rhythm section of bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool, delivered thrilling versions of the "Dookie" cuts "Welcome to Paradise," "Longview," "She" and "Basket Case." In the encore, Green Day burned through a great rendition of the title track to "American Idiot," as well as that album's ever-impressive suite "Jesus of Suburbia."
Toward the end of the show, Armstrong, exhausted from delivering such a herculean performance, simply laid down on the stage floor and soaked up the moment.
"Oh, my God, it's so nice to be home," he said.
And it's so nice to have you back, Billie Joe.

The elimination of some nonteaching jobs, as well as savings through retirements, have helped reduce the projected deficit in the Ken-Ton School District's budget for 2013-14 from approximately $3.1 million to less than $500,000.
Even so, homeowners still are looking at paying an additional $115 in taxes on a property with a market value of $100,000.
Changes to what is now a draft budget of approximately $149.4 million were reviewed during a work session Tuesday night in Hoover Middle School. The School Board plans to adopt a budget on April 9.
"This is a progressive budget process," School Superintendent Mark P. Mondanaro said. "Much progress has been made, [but there is] much progress to be made."
Non-instructional staffing reductions unveiled Tuesday include 2.5 teacher's aides; two special-education aides, because the students they worked with one-on-on have graduated; one groundskeeper's job, through attrition; and one laborer's job. Further, kindergarten aides will be held to the four hours of work they are required to perform in the classroom, eliminating the extra hours some may have worked elsewhere. Those moves are expected to save $299,568.
As for retirements, 16 members of the Kenmore Teachers Association will be leaving; the draft budget accounts for 15 whose intentions were known before 10 a.m. Friday. There are two elementary teachers and three at the secondary level; two occupational-education teachers; five special-education teachers; and three library media specialists.
The savings from "breakage" – replacing people at the top of the pay scale with others who will be paid less – was estimated at $675,000.
The district also will be able to apply an additional $1 million from its surplus and fund balances to the revenue side of the budget, according to Gerald J. Stuitje, assistant superintendent for finance.
"We are enjoying another good year as far as utilities," Stuitje said, explaining that the district locked into a very low rate for natural gas at the beginning of the fiscal year.
Still more reductions have come from obtaining accurate information about the district's responsibilities to BOCES. Preliminary figures were estimates, while the actual numbers came in with a net reduction of a little more than $37,000.
Ken-Ton, along with every other school district in the state, still is waiting to see what happens with a proposal by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to stabilize pension costs.
"There's a possibility that even if this law got enacted, there might be some conflicting laws," Stuitje said. "It's really kind of up in the air."
Also Tuesday night, the board unanimously approved a bus purchase proposition that will be part of May's voting.
The proposition is for the purchase of two 65-passenger buses, one wheelchair bus and four 30-passenger buses at a cost of $525,046.
Seventy percent – or roughly $367,532 – of the cost will be reimbursed by state aid. The proposition will not impact the 2013-14 budget, since the buses would be purchased during the school year and financing costs would be in the 2014-15 budget.

Should Congress limit the use of drones?
Feb-07-13 3:37 PM
c. It depends.
GrantMigus did you miss that response I wrote. You too, notSocialist my dear. It is not as simple as we would like it to be. We don't even know at this point what Congress is proposing as to how, who, what or God only knows will be affected by this. This is not as simple as a yes or no answer. We are all disturbed over this Presidents actions with the use of drones. I am furious over the fact that this President has been flying by the seat of his pants on everything he does. The fact that congress has to intervene on this to begin with is sickening just to try and control that nut case.

I don't care if an American citizen leaves the country and becomes the figure head of the biggest "terror group" in the world. The fact remains that that person is an American citizen. I COMPLETELY agree that they should face the consequences, but not from a drone program that doesn't even have Congressional oversight (aka no representation)--on branch of government is playing the role of judge, jury and executioner.
Article 3, section 3 of our Constitution clearly lays out that even a traitor has rights as a citizen. They may be punished with death in the end, but they STILL have rights.
It also states that they must be "levying war against the United States". Don't forget that we still have no declared war, except through the press. And the White House says it can act even if they aren't engaged in an active plot to harm the US and it's citizens.

Declaring them an enemy of the state and doing things legally, just like Hitler did. The precedent that it all sets is terrifying. And to top it all off, you add in the idea that these targets don't even have to be active in a plot against the US. And remember, they just have to be SUSPECTED. There is no arresting officer, no one to investigate from the drone whether or not you're actually guilty.
So, yes Congress should limit it for the sake of the people, because the power is completely held in the hands of the White House right now.
I could go on, but if you don't get the point from that then you never will.

As far as domestic policy is concerned, we now know that if you're a SUSPECTED member of al-Qaeda, even if you aren't active and you are an American citizen, you can be killed via drone strike. Not only does that authorize military action on our soil, violating Posse Comitatus, it means that American citizens (no matter how vile) are being denied their Constitutional rights. There is also the ominous "or other associated groups" that has a loose definition on purpose. Who is to say that someday, some leader may not assume that power to rid himself of his opposition?

Privacy should hold A LOT of weight in the discussion. People have already been charged with crimes from drone footage, in the US. You might say they're a criminal, I would say that hasn't every Big Brother experiment ended up being used unethically and ended up invading privacy?
However, as far as foreign policy goes, the White House has assumed far too much control with this program. They are judge, jury and executioner. There is no oversight, there is no representation for these actions that are sure to cause consequences we can't measure.

Luke Strand of the Holy Family
Parish in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, has a pretty interesting
ride. He drives around town in a black Volkswagen Beetle with a
logo featuring the phrase "God Squad" emblazoned on it.
That logo and the vehicle itself bear a striking similarity to the
mobile service vehicles of Best
Buy's service team, the Geek Squad.Apparently, Best Buy
isn't pleased with its look being appropriated by this man of the
cloth. Lawyers for the electronics retailer sent Father
Strand a
cease-and-desist letter telling him to ditch the logo or
face consequences. Father Strand mentioned the
letter at his Sunday Mass.Speaking to the Fond
du Lac Reporter,
Father Strand defended the logo. He says he uses the logo as a
creative way to spur discussions and bring his faith to the
community.Best Buy told reporters for the Milwaukee
Journal Sentinel that
while it appreciates Father Strand's sentiments, it cannot stand by
and watch its trademarks be violated.The legal dispute
revives a long ongoing question of just how much ownership to an icon
a company can claim. Apple, Inc., for example, has been
particularly zealous in legally assailing those who supposedly
violated its trademark. From New
York City to music
festivals, anyone who used the logo of an Apple -- or
particularly a logo of an Apple with a bite out of it -- was hit with
lawsuits or cease-and-desist letters.
argue that companies are taking trademark enforcement to far;
corporate lawyers would obviously disagree.
quote: Trademark attorney Michael G. Atkins of Seattle said legal parodies of commercial trademarks are protected under the First Amendment, but such religious products generally don't fall into that category. "You could take Microsoft and change their logo around to make fun of Microsoft, and that would be legal," he said. "But I can't use the Microsoft logo to promote my Christian theme because there's no real connection there. That's illegal."

STATE COLLEGE?- Great friends. Great talents. Great competitors. Even some great smack talk.
Allen Robinson versus Adrian Amos has to be the best matchup on the Penn State football team. If you count the best Nittany Lion players on one hand, Robinson and Amos definitely make the cut, and they can only help each other get even better going up against one another every day in practice.
"Me and him go at it a lot," said Robinson, who came out of nowhere to set the PSU season record with 77 catches last year. "We're definitely good friends, but we get out here and compete and make each other better all the time, and it's definitely good for us and good for the team."
Amos is a standout cornerback and, like Robinson, a good NFL prospect. Both could be playing on Sundays for many years, and if so, they'll always be able to look back on their time playing against each other at PSU as a0 factor that helped get them there.
"It makes us hold each other to a higher standard," Amos said of their one-on-one battles. "We're out there competing, and we know if we consider ourselves two of the better players, we have to perform at that high level."
Both are at a high level, but which one is higher when they go head-to-head?
"Of course I'm going to say me," Amos said with a smile.
He then was asked what Robinson would say.
"I hope he says him," Amos said. "It's about being competitive. You're supposed to want to win more. You're supposed to think you're better. It's confidence and competition."
Robinson also gave a big smile when told Amos said he wins the practice battles.
"Nah, I do," the receiver said.
How often?
"[About] 70-30," Robinson said.
It really doesn't matter much if Robinson or Amos is better now because they won't be opposing each other on Saturdays. That burden falls on opposing players.
The two Penn State standouts do have an idea of how tough the other is as a player because they compete so much in practice.
"Any time you have two good players that want to compete against each other, it's always good for the team," coach Bill O'Brien said.
Having a receiver who runs such precise routes, Amos said, can only make a defensive back better trying to cover him.
"He's very diverse in his routes, and he'll keep you guessing," Amos said of Robinson. "Other receivers, you learn where they're going, you kind of have tips on their routes. But he learns to keep the D-back guessing."
Robinson received a lot of praise for his route running last year, when he also caught 11 TDs and finished with 1,013 yards receiving.
"I'm just always trying to fine-tune my route-running and just doing different things that make cornerbacks uncomfortable," Robinson said.
His basketball background helps with his elusiveness - Robinson said he and receiver Eugene Lewis are the two best basketball players on the team - but he also has become a great student of the game watching a lot of film.
Robinson said he has studied the Buffalo Bills' Stevie Johnson and the New England Patriots' receivers. O'Brien used to be with the Patriots, while the Lions' receivers coach, Stan Hixon, coached Johnson in Buffalo.
Robinson is 6-foot-3, 217 pounds, up from 203 at the end of last season, and the junior wanted to bulk up to help his blocking skills and with breaking tackles.
"I definitely feel good," he said. "I cut down on body fat."
Amos emerged as PSU's best defensive back last year, finishing with 44 tackles, two interceptions and three pass breakups. The 6-foot, 209-pound junior has a chance to be one of the Big Ten's best at his position this year.
"Adrian's a great player," Robinson said before later adding, "He's a physical corner and a real fast guy, so there are different things that I have to do as far as technical stuff as a receiver [to beat him]."
Amos countered by saying Robinson is "good at playing with my leverage and different things like that."
Robinson and Amos are part of Penn State's "Supa Six" group of talented underclassmen. Keeping those players in the program has been key for Penn State because they could have transferred and played immediately under the NCAA sanctions.
"I think it was important for us to stay, just like it was important for the seniors staying [last year]," Amos said.
Some members of the Supa Six gave PSU fans a scare earlier this month with an April fool's day joke some people didn't find all that funny. Robinson tweeted that he would "no longer be attending Penn state," which came as a shock to people before the gag was explained as a joke a few minutes later.
"I guess it was funny to a few of us, but it wasn't that funny," said Robinson, who learned from the incident that he has to think things through a little more before doing them.
There were no repercussions as far as any extra running, the receiver noted, from O'Brien after the gag.
"He didn't take it as bad as I thought he would," Robinson said.

5 Math Equations That Change the Way You See the World
Trying to make math cool is like trying to make "not holding your breath for five minutes" cool: It already is, and anyone thinking otherwise struggles through life with significantly reduced mental abilities. Anyone born into a world based entirely on numbers with little dollar signs in front of them, then deciding they don't need to know numbers, is volunteering to be a very small one adding up to someone else's very big one.

"Just 10 more short years, and you'll have that degree in Klingon paid off!"
But accounting is to math what diapers are to biochemistry: dealing with the stinking mess left by some unfortunate and immature side effects of being alive while doing it. Mathematics isn't cool in the same way spacetime isn't real estate. It's much bigger and more important than the ridiculous little structures we've erected on it. And anyone who doesn't understand how truly cool it is (2.725 K) simply doesn't appreciate the sheer scale of it.

Ymir's autopsy
We found reality's programming language. Physics is the operating system, but it's written in equations. E=mc^2 defines large parts of reality in fewer bytes than it takes to say "my penis" and has similar effects on local spacetime, ladies (~ 90 percent, + gentlemen ~ 10 percent). But that's physics. There are pure mathematical equations which are just as capable of blowing your mind.
#5. Infinite Pi
Pi is the ratio of a circle's diameter to its circumference, in the same way nuclear fission is a way of powering TVs to watch America's Got Talent: an appallingly simple effect of a reality-defining truth. Pi isn't a number, it's a startup constant of spacetime. Take a line in one dimension, rotate it around another, and the resulting ratio of lengths is a precise number. The existence of space has a numerical signature. It's called a transcendental number, because even attempting to think about how much it means is more mind-expanding than all the drugs.
Mehran Moghtadei via Wikimedia Commons
Seen here in the three dimensions it glues together
Calculating pi has become the computer scientist equivalent of tuning muscle cars: we don't actually need more digits for anything useful, because the basics do everything we actually need it for, but we've spent years stacking up air-cooled hardware just because. In 1985 it was calculated to 17 million digits. Srinivasa Ramanujan found the formula used. Around 1910.
It wasn't the only such formula, but was incredibly useful because it converged exponentially compared to other algorithms, making it ideal for computers. Interesting note: at the time there was no such thing as computers. Srinivasa Ramanujan had pre-empted processors by decades. In 1985 his formula was used in the world record calculation of pi to 17 million digits, and a slight variant modified by David and Gregory Chudnovsky now holds the title at 10 trillion. We're not saying he's a robot, but if a perfect calculating machine ever goes missing in a time travel experiment we already know where it ended up.

It turns out that rogue Terminators like sharp suits and counting forever.
#4. Dividing By Zero
Dividing by zero gives you undefined, infinity, or who cares, depending on whether you're talking to a mathematician, physicist, or engineer. You can tell a lot about how disconnected someone is from reality by how they contemplate infinity. For example, cult leaders often explain how infinity after nothingness means you should obey them.
Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty
"Pay your entire life now for insurance against eternity with the King! No refunds!"
At its most basic, division means, "How many times can you take this out of that?" For example, you can take a human head from the members of One Direction five times before you get blessed silence. On the one hand you can take nothing out of something an infinite number of times, but on the other, no, you can't, because that would take forever. It's a mathematical problem so hard it once crippled a U.S. Navy cruiser. The USS Yorktown's experimental military computer control system tried it and was crippled by a buffer overrun. Making this the first ship to overflow without any water. On the upside, it's way easier than asking a computer to define love or telling it that truth is a lie, or asking if those are both the same question.

"These feelings are tearing me apart! Also the incoming torpedoes."
The solution is as brilliant as it sounds stupid. You deal with the impossible by sneaking up on it. It's nice to know calculus solves problems the same way SEAL teams do it: sneakily and permanently.
Taking the limit as X goes to zero means that you never actually get there, but you get as close as you need to be, no matter how close that is. Then the "limit" as you tend toward zero -- but never actually reach it -- gives you the answer. As X gets small, sin X is approximately equal to X, so you're always dividing something by itself and getting one. Then, with a particularly cunning flourish, you end up dividing nothingness by itself and becoming one. Which I think means mathematics is the king of zen.

His decades of calm are going to be wasted when he finds out mathematicians worked it out with a pencil.
There's a fairly easy proof using the squeeze theorem. Which doubles as a good line when you want to chat up a mathematician.
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"... and you'll be with me because I give quite excellent dick, QED."
These limits as you hit zero, which is a much less depressing sentence in mathematics, are essential for calculus. And calculus is essential for everything. If math is the programming language of reality, calculus is the graphics processor working out things like explosions, lasers, and gravity, all the cool special effects. Or as we call them in physics, effects.
#3. Pick A Digit, Any Digit (of Pi)
If the Ramanujan formula was transcendent understanding of reality by the human brain, the Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe formula is outright sorcery. Developed by Simon Plouffe in 1995, this formula lets you skip straight to any digit of pi without working out the rest of the number.
You want the the 10-trillion-and-33rd digit of pi? No problem. There's a fundamental constant of reality and now, without any input apart from being in the same reality, this equation can read out any part of it. That's like pulling rabbits out of a hat where the rabbits are Star Trek energy beings and your hat is a beret.
The process of using the formula sounds like someone found a glitch in god's computer. If you want the Nth term, you split the infinite sum at the Nth term, and a bit of modulo math skims out the required digit in hexadecimal. That sounds like something you'd read on Mr Mxyzptlk's GameFAQ. Reality, mathematics, and the design of 8-bit computers lining up to accidentally output one of the universe's BIOS settings. The craziest part? It's still slower than Ramanujan for finding the whole thing. It really is just a cheat code for reality.

It is such a bizarre idea, I still can't believe they were dumb enough to do it.
In a frontal assault on logic and common sense, the public agency that provides housing for the poor actually hired a public relations firm.
The flacks cost the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority more than $90,000. The revelation this week in The Buffalo News was a black eye for the BMHA. Talk about not getting your PR money's worth.
Correction: Make that not getting our money's worth. Those are taxpayer dollars that went into the pockets of PR types, including one spinmeister whose hourly rate – $325 – puts plenty of doctors and lawyers to shame. It is also, not incidentally, more than many people who live in public housing make in a week.
Eric Mower & Associates was handed a no-bid contract to media-manage the discovery of asbestos during the decades-overdue demolition of Kensington Heights towers. It stayed on for 16 months, tapping out news releases and fielding routine questions from reporters.
To state what should be self-evident: It is ridiculous for the public housing agency in America's third-poorest city to spend a dime, much less more than $90,000, for the image-polishing commonly sought by spouse-straying politicians and rehab-bound Hollywood stars. Which raises the question: Who's running the place – Groucho, Harpo or Chico?
Actually, the buck for this $325-an-hour fiasco stops with the BMHA's executive director, Dawn Sanders-Garrett, who signed up the PR types without running it past the BMHA board. The BMHA board is controlled by the mayor. The board six years ago hired Sanders-Garrett, whose track record was less than stellar even before this duh-level blunder.
Jimmy Ruffin lives at the downtown Perry Projects with his wife and 14-year-old son.
"It's just not fair, $325 an hour," he told me Wednesday. "I'm still dealing with an old wall sink, no cabinet. … I tried to start a Boy Scout troop, to give kids here something to do."
Monique Russell has lived at Perry Projects for five years. She said that many older tenants "are secluded in their rooms. … They have nowhere to go. They need activities, social events, so they can meet one another."
The response of BMHA officials to the fiasco bespeaks further cluelessness. Instead of grasping the concept that a public housing agency should not be wasting tax dollars on spin doctors, they decided, in the future, to bid out the PR work. If this kind of thinking passes for inspired at the BMHA, it would not surprise me if some top-tier official believes that the Housing Authority needs a PR firm to put a positive spin on the bad PR that came from hiring a PR firm. It's a vicious cycle.
Let me repeat: The larger problem isn't the no-bid PR contract. It's the notion that hiring a PR firm is a good way to serve your tenants and to spend our money. For her $97,000-a-year salary, Sanders-Garrett should be able to explain how and why the BMHA does things and to find a secretary to fax the occasional news release. That's how public housing authorities in other upstate cities do things. If Sanders-Garrett can't manage that, the BMHA needs to find someone who can.
Sanders-Garrett could have spared herself and the BMHA a heap of embarrassment if she had first run the PR idea past a few tenants. The dozen or so Perry Projects residents I spoke with Wednesday all thought of better ways for their landlord to spend $90,000. Suggestions included picnic tables for the public areas, field trips to the zoo and to Fantasy Island for kids, better security lighting, community-bonding bingo nights, senior citizen activities and shopping trips for carless tenants. A unanimous complaint: the notorious months-long delay before an apartment is ready.
"It took us six months to get into a bigger apartment," Virginia Harrington, who works at a nursing home, told me after picking up her two kids at the bus stop. "Why couldn't they spend that money on something that helps us?"
Shanta, a nursing home technician, declined to give her last name, fearing BMHA blowback.
"I have three electric sockets out," she told me. "You call in a work order, it takes about a month before they get here."
Not even a $325-an-hour image-adjuster could put a shiny glow on that.
I have an idea: The next time the lights go out, tenants should call the BMHA's PR firm. At those prices, fixing leaky faucets and busted electrical circuits ought to be part of the deal.
