Posted by Sabbiyah on Aug 29, 2012 in Blog | 18 comments
This post, is one that I have repeatedly considered writing since March of this year, following all the harassment I received following the airing of Make Bradford British. At first, I left it because I didn't want it to seem like I was crying out for sympathy & secondly I didn't want the trolls/bullies who were hating on me to know the extent of their damage. The second time I considered writing this post was after the Shafilea Ahmed case, and my very public acknowledgement and approval of the sentence given to her parents, again i was subjected to more abuse, and again I left it. The most recent events that have prompted me to actually sit down and write this, is the response that I received after writing my post re the comments Galloway made on rape. To be honest with you, the abuse and insults no longer affect me, in fact I read them, hear them and turn a blind eye or deaf ear to them. I guess some would say that it is sad that I've gotten so used to it now that mentally when i read something i just shut it out and carry on as i was, but for me its a great progression. And I am going to describe how i got to this stage to you in this post. I have to warn you, this is my longest post, simply because I am going to break down a lot of the misconceptions directed towards me.
Before Make Bradford British was aired, I was prepared for a backlash from certain members of the Muslim community, I was prepared because I knew that firstly a lot of people wouldn't have been comfortable watching me in the situations i was placed in, most prominently the pub, but secondly and most importantly i knew that some would not be happy with the things that I said in the programme. I thought i was prepared, i really did. And I'm no wallflower, throughout my life I've dealt with crap and I've come out of it always more tougher and always more positive. So i kept thinking to myself, you've been through worse, you'll be fine.
Then came the aftermath of MBB, and no amount of experience could have prepared me for it. You see for so long I held the view that I was in a majority, i.e. that my views were views that were held within a majority of Muslims, i guess the reason behind that was because my friends are a good mix of egalitarians, liberals and humanists of every religion and race. I really honestly naively believed that i was a part of a majority. That bubble was burst as soon as the first episode of MBB was aired. It was then that i realised that in fact i was part of a minority, a minority of muslims who applauded and craved critical thinking, who despised mob mentality and who urged the use of rationality & intellect. We are a minority. I guess the biggest issue people had was when I told Rashid that he didn't need to pray in a mosque & that the Lord didn't need his prayers, many took this as me saying that he shouldn't pray, but what i was in effect saying to him was that if he was letting down his community, he was doing God a huge dis-service, because his insistence to pray in a mosque meant that religion was preventing integration in the house, and religion DOES NOT prevent social cohesion, in fact it aids it.
The criticism and abuse I received for this was hideous, i had people telling me to hang myself, that i would burn to death, that they wanted to kill me, i was branded a "hoejabi", a 'slut' and much worse. People simply couldn't understand why I challenged him, and a part of me realised after as well that one factor was the fact that I am a woman. Seriously i know for a fact if i was a guy and had said what i had said, i would have got away with it a lot easier, in fact so many women came to me after and said the same thing to me. The fact that i was a woman, wearing a hijab and challenging a man who appeared to be so devout made me look like Satan's advocate. And boy was i treated like Satans advocate.
You can hear the tone of hostility and resentment towards my comments on MBB on Inspire Fm, this was by far the WORST interview i have ever ever ever given. It was hostile, cold and very unwelcoming. So have a listen
I reckon the reason why I am the target of criticism especially when i make a statement condemning something publicly is because of the fact i overtly dress like a muslim woman, yet to the majority i don't act in the way they expect me to. Maybe their conception of a hijab wearing woman is to be meek and conformative and i am neither, in fact i resist conformity.But this issue of me wearing a hijab and not acting accordingly has come up time and time again, most recently with the Galloway drama,
the tweet by Said Omar Muhammad says "You obviously are wearing hijab as a fashion statement" I am sorry Said Omar, but when did you look into my head, read my intentions and decide that yes it is a fashion statement?
In fact i wear my hijab as a badge, as a symbol of identification of being a proud Muslim woman, a liberated and equal Muslim woman who has been given rights by GOD to speak as i wish, and to practice equality and tolerance. I do not wear my hijab out of religious requirement, I believe that to wear a hijab is a matter of choice, and the hijab wearer is no superior to the woman who doesn't wear one. So don't say to me i wear it as a fashion choice or that if i wear it i should wear it 'properly' I dictate how i wear it, i decide how i act and i am ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD NOT YOU!!!
Another misconception a lot of people, especially ignorant women, hold is that I claim to represent Muslim women. Let me put this straight once and for all. I DO NOT wish to represent Muslim women, in fact after studying the dynamics of the Muslim community, we are no way homogenous, I couldn't represent anyone but myself because each individual has his/her opinions. Yet for some bizarre reason, I still get attacked for misrepresenting hijabis, or misrepresenting women. Here is a tweet by a rather crude and nasty individual who perpetuates a lot of hate on twitter.
Now lets move on to the Galloway saga, and this has been the most surprising attack for me. When I wrote my blog post condemning Galloway's comment, I honestly did not expect abuse, especially from leading Respect Party Members. I mean i was of the view that rape is rape is rape. end of. clearly its not as black as white as that. Galloway's die hard fanatical fans, didn't care about his comments about rape, in fact i don't think they care much for politics, nor do they understand it. Rather they are fuelled by a mob mentality that is rife in Bradford. And i can say this confidently because I've been a victim of it ever since MBB. Mob mentality strips you of your rational and intellect and Gods most precious gift to you, free will. It strips you of that and essentially transforms you into an animal who follows the pack. And this is the only way i can describe the onslaught following my post re Galloway.
What scared me the most about the reaction, was the fact that it was coming from leading members of a political party that i had defended and supported. A party that i had once seen as a viable alternative and one that could lead Bradford to positive change. Now i want them out of bradford, i want them out of power and i want them stripped of their egos. Power in the hands of the ignorant and foolish is dangerous. And this exactly what is happening in the Respect party in Bradford. I spoke to a Respect party member who described horrifically to me, the corruption that exists within this party. If he had told me a year ago I would have been shocked, but after the Galloway drama, to be honest i was unsurprised and in fact i was expecting it. What frustrates me the most is the lack of critical thinking which exists in them, and its not just members of the Respect party, its within all those who have criticised me. Don't get me wrong its not that I'm saying don't criticise me, i welcome constructive criticism, but theres a distinct difference between criticism and bullying. e.g. below
It's like seriously!?!? are you seriously tweeting this crap to me? Do you blame me for blocking you? I don't have the time or the patience to deal with stupidity. I only engage in debate when I think it will be constructive and progressive. Otherwise I will ignore you.
I was reading today about the controversy that the comedy show Citizen Khan has provoked. And it made me laugh, you see as Muslims we are so defensive and emotional. We get so caught up in reacting but not being proactive. Its happened every time from the Salman Rushdie affair, to the Cartoons in Holland, to documentaries to comedy shows. By reacting so emotionally, we prove that we are a weak community, we have no self esteem and that we have no other method of intelligently responding. I was told today by countless people that they were being bullied on twitter for defending Citizen Khan, seriously its ridiculous. Why do we crave conformity? Why do we coerce people into conformity? Individuality and difference of opinion is what strengthens a community! If your so bothered, approach Adil Ray with an email, send him a message, I'm sure he'd appreciate that more then you absolutely slating all his and the teams effort. But thats hard work so instead, you just shout out the abuse and everybody else just joins in.
You see, its gotten to a point with me, unfortunately where i don't expect support for what i say. I don't expect support from the Muslim community or leading Muslim organisations or groups or leaders. Because i have learnt the very very hard way, that the majority of Muslims that are in positions of power, avoid controversy. They will entertain you for a while but when it comes to the crunch, your on your own. Nobody likes to admit that spousal rape happens within Muslim marriages you just need to listen to the BBC asian network to get that confirmed, people will say to you forced marriage is wrong Islamically, it is abhorred by the Lord, yet nobody will applaud the criminalisation of it and the active crackdown. And I know i'll get abuse following this post, but frankly I no longer care. Because you see what i do care about and its the only thing i care about, is the women who have so much potential in my community who are being disempowered everyday, by idiots like the ones that exist in the Respect Party. I care about those women who can deliver change and who will deliver change. I worry that they are not strong enough to deal with the criticism and the bullying, I worry that they will remain silenced due to their fear of speaking out. And you know what, I wouldn't blame them, its taken me a long time to develop my thick skin and no shit attitude. Some people just don't want it, and thats what worries me, that our own community is leading itself to destruction by stifling critical thinking and freedom of expression.
People worry about Islamaphobia, and we have writers like Mehdi Hasan who are fighting it, and i really feel for them. For me, I'm fighting phobia amongst my own, and i guess thats what makes it harder. You expect support but you just get stabbed in the back
Sabi, (as always) a great and necessary post and I agree with most of it, you know there's a "but" coming don't you?
but… please use proper grammer and the occasional spell-check, for my sake
Sadif, I take it you mean GRAMMAR as opposed to GRAMMER Ironic.com
Very well written Sabi
N x
Great blog post, wholeheartedly agree with you. I hope you keep ignoring the abuse and idiocy.
Oh and…
Grammar is spelled with 2 a's
haha, it's acceptable in the comments section!
I have so much respect for you Sabbiyah, and I wholeheartedly agree with certain things you've said here, especially in regards to how Muslims react to certain situations.
I was away in Pakistan when Make Bradford British was aired so have no idea what it was about or anything, so can't really comment on that. But I must applaud you for remaining steadfast and strong in your views, despite all the hate and criticism. I'm sure you're aware that the hate you've recieved is coming from people who come across as uneducated blinded fools who claim to be wide awake when as a matter of fact, they're not.
Much respect, and I'll continue to support you honestly. I learn from you and your tweets on a daily basis, and only Allah knows that. May He reward you for everything you've done. Keep on being strong and don't ever shut up! We need you.
Thanks for that post. I'm saddened to hear you think that you're in a minority
of rational thinkers. Those who behave like an emotional mob play
right into the hands of idiots like the EDL.
Perhaps those sections of the Muslim community will one day have their
own enlightenment.
(disclaimer: I speak as a liberal, atheist white bloke!)
Hi there Sabbiyah what a lovely girl you are. I have watched the bullying of you and other muslim women this week and feel so glad to see you rise above the abuse from your fellow muslims -mostly so called men. This week i realised just how hard it is for you Muslim girls just to have a voice never mind having one with differing views than the rest of the crowd.
I feel that you are a leader and your tormentors are all just followers -part of the pack and this is the reason for the unpleasantness you have received from this week.
You should hold your head up high and be proud of yourself and your parents too. England is a lucky place to have you here – they have brought up a lovely English lady
I love and feel your anger. Of course, people who are so used to following and conforming, rather than questioning and analysing will find such debate uncomfortable and disconcerting. They can be found in all communities. It is a shame in sections of our Muslim communities (because as you rightly point out we are diverse and not a monolithic entity), patriarchal structures can stifle debate and oppress those that speak out.
Keep up the good fight! It makes you stronger and it makes others assess why they are so anxious about debate. We grow and thrive by adapting to change. When groups refuse do that, they become marginalised.
Ps Citizen Khan was bloody awful though. Awful script and poor poor character
what a great blog post – totally honest !! intelligent, committed to the advancement of Muslim women – I for one applaud you !! keep it up – dont let the haters get you down
The character of so many members of the Muslim community is such that many of us prefer to adopt a secular stance and keep well away from the politics of hatred and reprehensible conduct that is so common within religious organisations and communities.
Your are simply too intelligent and articulate and many feel their world threatened by you. I hope you continue being yourself, we certainly need more young Muslim women like yourself to drag this community out of the medieval mindset that it is trapped in.
MBB led me to your blog and I've been an avid reader ever since. As a proud Bradfordian, my main criticism of MBB is that it would have been better served with six one hour episodes, as I'm sure there was a lot going on that would have to be edited owing to time constraints. I was actually sat in Starbucks during the discussion after the pub, silently cheering you on.
I've lived in Mixed, Asian and White areas, and my view is that sadly every village has it's idiots.
The very fact that you are attracting haters just goes to show that you are hitting a nerve. Please don't let the fools get to you, you are an inspiration to me and other women, whatever our background.
Very interested to see what comes of Mr Galloways' meeting with Bradford Muslim Women's Council tomorrow.
Keep up the good work!
Great blog. Well done and stay strong. I thought you were very good in MBB – don't let the idiots get you down!
I concur completely with everything Sabbiyah says and have had similar experiences with fellow Muslims, I think it is reflection of the deeply patriarchal cultures we come from,within which men (and women) will always threaten, bully and cower women who speak out/refuse to conform into submission. But like-minded people will always support and and appreciate your efforts.
Saabiyah- thank you for your post and well done its about time youc spoke out. I watched the programme as an older hijaabi and although I winced when I saw you in the pub serving drinks(my head was full of how are people going to react and take it out on you) i had not realised how saditic and away anti Islamic there treatment would be of you. I thought you came across as a very strong young woman an excellent role model for us all.
You Mashallah displayed many attributes of an islamic personality we should be all srtiving for. and also thanks for your blog on the politics of Bradfors as since the Respect parties recent win many muslims have started to consider them as a vilable option. at least now the truth is out there!
Thank you so so much if for nothing else than for the fact that you are one of very few muslims today who are actually muslims and not either some blood-lusting, ignorant buffoons who know less about Islam than so called "infidels" or the sit back in the armchair type who are only interested in rituals and the material world. What they practice today is exactly what the holy Prophet came to change (in the name of a religion they do not even have the right to associate with). So please keep up the good work and get in touch with me (firstname.lastname@example.com) and my wife (firstname.lastname@example.com)for any exchange of ideas or any assistance you may require. May Allah bless you and grant you the strength you require to bring about the change that you desire.
I just wanted to reiterate the supportive sentiments above. I came across your blog searching for info on George Galloway, as he is speaking at our university tomorrow, and your incredulity in the last post completely matched my own reactions to the story. I'm sorry that you have to put up with so much abuse for saying something that should be so obvious – thank you for doing so despite it, and stay strong.
Hi, a very interesting and thought provoking article. As a white Christian man who has lived in Bradford all his life, since 1955 can you imagine the changes we have seen to our once proud city? You are like a breath of fresh air compared to some of your fellow Muslims who carry on as if they are living in some 15th century medieval country instead of integrating into English society.
Why are they always so confrontational, why so arrogant as if Islam is the only religion that should exist. Sorry but I could go on and on, maybe I am to old but sometimes I don't feel as if I am living in the Bradford I once loved. Maybe it's time to give in and move out where things are quieter and where I can hopefully retire and grow old and not end up living in something resembling little, Islamabad.
Please don't take my comments the wrong way but after living through the two riots and numerous other disturbances and book burning sessions and anti poppy demos etc etc I hope you can see another point of view, all the best and good luck with your efforts to force change from "within".
Have to say, brilliant article that provokes a lot of thought, it really is refreshing to hear these comments. Galloway is a moron who managed to win a seat in Bradford mostly by saying 'I am more Muslim than this man'. It's a worrying world we live in when a man can gain this kind of power through slander and defamation of character under the thin guise of religion. Disgusted by the bullying, and i would call a collective attack on ONE PERSON'S opinion this, that you had to receive from people who should be able to defend their own argument better. As a white atheist that grew up in Halifax, moved to Bradford (Wibsey) and now goes to university all the way down in Portsmouth, it's astonishing to see how irrelevant religion is here and how nobody seems offended by any opinion, here you are judged by your person and nothing more. At home their is this clear segregation that seems to imply that if a Muslim lady like yourself dares to question some frankly appalling comments by Galloway you should be portrayed in infamy like some symbolism of disrespecting Islam, asif their is a line in the sand you musn't cross. The fact is you have a progressed opinion at a time when many people like yourself are at a crossroads, I fully believe as time goes on more and more shall be disgraced by the criticism you received from this, after all women having the right to vote seemed a laughable idea some many, ignorant, years ago!. Saw you in BBM and was disgusted by that moron in the pub. What exactly makes him more British than you? absolutely nothing. Anyway, i digress, great article, compelling read.

Many loose ends in 'escape' of convict
By Express News Service - KOCHI
Published: 20th December 2012 09:55 AM
Last Updated: 20th December 2012 09:55 AM
The police investigating the escape of the murder convict from the Armed Reserve Camp on Monday night are suspicious of the entire incident.
The Sub Inspector who registered the name of the Delhi police officials at AR Camp on Monday did not see any accused person accompanying them and he had only registered the name of the policemen in the team.
According to sources, investigation is being conducted as to whether Sanjay Eknath, the convict, had escaped even before reaching the AR Camp. The whole episode was created by the Delhi police officials to escape from likely disciplinary action against them, sources said. "The SI had registered the name of two head constables and three constables. The name of the policemen were Surendra Pal, Jansir Singh, Harideep Singh, Rajpal Singh and Aravind. But no one in the AR Camp had seen the accused Sanjay. It was only after 11.30 pm when Delhi policemen informed that the accused had escaped that the officials in the AR Camp came to know about it. An investigation is being carried out in this regard and an inquiry with the Delhi police officials will be carried out again," police officials said.
The police are also investigating whether the Delhi policemen had consumed liquor when the accused escaped from the AR Camp.
Meanwhile, search is on for the absconding convict. "We are suspicious about the whole incident. We failed to get any clue even after combing the entire city," police official said.
It was on Monday night that Sanjay, a murder convict, reportedly escaped from the AR Camp. Sanjay was an accused in a murder case in Thodupuzha and was brought from Tihar Jail by the Delhi Police. The City police will file a report in this regard on Thursday.

Daddy's Girls
Stephen Fagan's Daughters Stand Firm in Defense of Their Father, Who Stole Them from Their Mother 18 Years Ago
"My father," said Lisa, "is a man I love and respect."
"I can only hope if I am ever in the situation my father was in," said Rachael, "I will have the strength to follow in his footsteps."
Neither chose to mention their mother, Barbara Kurth, 48, whom Fagan, 56, had recently described to them—following his arrest on kidnapping charges—as a neglectful, alcoholic parent in whose care they might well have perished. For the moment at least, Kurth was left only with the hope that someday the two young women might choose to meet with her and draw their own conclusions. "My own desire has been to know how my daughters were doing and whether or not, when the time was right, a private reunion might take place between us," she said, reading a prepared statement in Boston. "My only true wish is that they come someday to realize that I have always loved them and I always will."
Kurth, raised in Burlington, Vt., and Fagan, from Newton, Mass., had first met in the late '60s at the Kenmore Club in Boston, where he was a bouncer and she a coat checker. (Married at the time, Fagan told her his wife was in "an insane asylum," according to The Boston Globe.) When they were wed in 1973, Fagan had a law degree from Suffolk University in Boston, while Kurth had dropped out of school and was working odd jobs. Kurth's family found their new in-law intelligent and well-read, but aloof. "He wasn't unfriendly," says Kurth's younger brother Peter, "just perfunctory." The couple's first child, Rachael, was born in 1974; their second, then called Wendy, in 1977. Meanwhile, Fagan worked as a supervisor at a legal-aid clinic run by the Harvard Law School.
By 1977, the Fagans' marriage was failing. The following year the couple were granted a divorce, with Barbara given custody of the children. She took the girls from the home she shared with Stephen in suburban Framingham and ended up in an apartment in North Adams, Mass., 90 miles away. But Fagan was determined to get the girls back. In the fall of 1979 he obtained affidavits from three of Barbara's neighbors in North Adams, who raised serious questions about her fitness as a mother. They described her as frequently drunk and the girls as often inappropriately clothed, underfed and unsupervised. "I do not allow my daughter to play in Barbara's apartment," said neighbor Helenmary Wilk in her sworn statement. "[She] is not a responsible mother."
But other former neighbors scoff at the notion that Kurth was an unfit parent. "You never saw her that she didn't have Wendy on her hip and little Rachael's hand in hers," says Patsy Maselek, who lived near the Fagans in Framingham and who runs a day-care center. "I'm trained to look for abuse and neglect, and I just never saw anything but happy children." Barbara's brother Peter says his sister does suffer from narcolepsy, which causes victims to lose consciousness suddenly, and that her frequent drowsiness could have been mistaken for intoxication. In any case, child-welfare authorities investigated the allegations against Barbara and allowed her to retain custody.
On Thursday, Oct. 25, 1979, Fagan picked up his daughters, then 5 and 2, for a weekend trip to Cape Cod. That was the last time Kurth saw her two girls. For years after the abduction, Peter says, his sister hired lawyers and private investigators to try and find her kids, to no avail. (At the time, she got no help from police because parental abduction cases were largely treated as family disputes.) Though devastated, Barbara and her family prayed that the girls might someday reappear on their own. Barbara's mother, Constance Kurth, now 72, deliberately never moved from her home in Burlington and never changed her phone number on the chance that her granddaughters might contact her. But over the years the odds that Fagan would be found seemed to grow longer and longer. "People were just turning up nothing," says Peter. "He had just completely evaporated."
In fact, Fagan had arrived with the girls in Key West, Fla., within weeks of picking them up. He assumed the name William S. Martin and the social security number of a 6-year-old boy who had died in Massachusetts. (He also changed Wendy's name to Lisa, presumably to avoid detection.) He and the girls lived comfortably but modestly, first in Key West, then in Palm Beach County. Though it is still not clear where Fagan was getting his money initially—his attorney now says he was receiving financial support from his family—in 1986 he married Linda Vine, a wealthy Palm Beach widow. Sometime in the mid-1990s, Fagan and Vine divorced, and in 1996 he married Harriet Golding, 47, a Florida real-estate executive with whom he bought a $1.6 million waterfront Mediterranean-style mansion on chic South Ocean Boulevard.
Under the name Martin, Fagan led the life of the idle rich on the fringes of Palm Beach society. He drove luxury cars, including a Bentley and a candy-apple-red Ferrari. He joined the board of directors of the Palm Beach Opera and became a member of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club, which boasts an initiation fee of $75,000. When people asked about his background, Fagan spun grandiose tales. In addition to mentioning a CIA connection, he claimed to have worked as a presidential adviser and founder of a think tank. In Palm Beach, no one seems to have questioned his credentials, however improbable. "He was very warm, a great conversationalist," says Robert Montgomery, a prominent trial attorney, who regularly saw Fagan at social gatherings. "Everybody who met him liked him very much."
What especially charmed many friends and acquaintances was Fagan's obvious devotion to his daughters. "His I world revolved around his girls," says Debbie Breen, a next-door neighbor of Fagan's in Palm Beach. Both Rachael and Lisa were accomplished swimmers, and Fagan drove them to practice six days a week, sometimes twice a day, with morning sessions often starting as early as 5 o'clock. At school it was the same. "He never missed any of their activities," says John Thompson, headmaster of the tony Palm Beach Day School, which both girls attended. "He was here every day, dropping them off and picking them up. He was totally devoted to them." His dedication was apparently rewarded. Rachael graduated from Columbia University and now works for a philanthropy on Long Island. Lisa, who was considered an Olympic swimming prospect until she injured her shoulders, is a senior at the University of Southern California. Both talk to their father by phone every day.
Fagan's life of deceit started to unravel last September, when a source—reportedly a friend of Fagan's sister Sheryl Klein—tipped a lawyer, who in turn told authorities in Florida of William Martin's identity. On April 16 police took Fagan into custody at his Palm Beach estate. Now free on bail, reportedly in Florida, he is facing charges of kidnapping and if convicted could be sent to prison for as long as 30 years. Authorities in Florida are also looking into whether he broke any other laws during his years as a fugitive.
According to her brother, Kurth has been agonizing about how to reach out to her daughters once their father was in custody. "She has never wanted to make things difficult for them," says Peter. "She realized they are their own people and that any influence she had on them was many, many years ago." Thus Kurth, who remarried and now works as a biology researcher at the University of Virginia, decided not to push for an immediate reunion but to put her faith in her daughters' eventual desire to see her again. Given the girls' current frame of mind—Fagan's lawyer Richard Egbert said no meeting is likely while charges against his client are pending—that may be a long time coming. As Lisa proudly declared, in words that were surely a dagger to Kurth's heart, "He was and is the best mother, father and friend anyone could ask for. On behalf of Rachael and I, I would like to say 'Daddy, we love you.' "

Enfants de la Patrie stand tall against the Haka
Allons enfants de la Patrie (Arise, children of the Nation) and arise is what they did. What a brilliant statement from the French, holding hands like a well-heeled, orderly bunch of school children on a walking trip to church, as the world awaited their slaughter. (more…)

The article by Drs Wallack and Chao is an accurate chronicle of public policy and politics in New York. The authors are supportive and justify their position by using recent resident-match results as evidence for a controllable lifestyle agenda. Still, training residents to provide surgical care now requires a fundamental change in vision and activity that involves more than limiting working hours. The real issues are service and training, supervision and communication.
In our experience, compliance requires controlled management of the clinical experience with specific goals and sufficient personnel to meet patient needs. The surgical waiver is limited by the vagueness of the definition of the words "generally resting," the difficulty in documentation of resident activity, and the adequacy of the methodology for seeking relief.

• Ann Arbor police officer tracks down stolen puppy
• Humane Society of Huron Valley offers reward for stolen puppy
A homeless man who helped find a dog stolen from the Humane Society of Huron Valley last month has received a $500 reward.
The 3-month-old, long-haired Dachshund named Aristotle was stolen from his cage during a break-in at the Humane Society shelter in mid-April. Shelter workers offered a reward for the return of the animal, which had a medical condition requiring treatment.
When Ann Arbor Police Officer Brett Hansen read a newspaper story about the stolen dog, he recalled that he had seen the dog with what appeared to be a homeless man in downtown Ann Arbor. Hansen went to a church breakfast for the homeless and one of the men there directed Hansen to where the suspect and dog were staying in a tent off South Industrial Avenue.
The dog was found at that location and returned to the Humane Society. It doing well after being adopted by a woman a few weeks ago, said Deb Kern, marketing director of the local Humane Society.
Kern said the agency gave the $500 reward to the man at the church breakfast who helped Hansen find the suspect who had taken the dog. The suspect was arrested, but details of charges against him weren't available Thursday.

All of the discrete log public key algorithms are isomorphic to factoring, and so can be attacked by quantum computers. I am not sure about the ecliptic curve algorithms, but I think they are also vulnerable. E uses public key algorithms for identifying vats, and for encryption and message-authentication key agreement. These functions will have to be replaced, or their security enhanced by using longer keys. (I have a vague memory that the required key length is only painfully slow with today's computers. Please tell me if I am wrong.)

THE END of the 19th century was particularly important in the development of the ideas concerning the functional organization of the cortex. The localizationists found support in the findings of Broca and Wernicke (cited by Giannitrapani1) concerning speech, Fritsch and Hitzig2 concerning motion and Munk3 concerning vision. The findings of Goltz4 and the heirarchic principles of Jackson5 clearly opposed these views.
Today, while findings supporting a strict localization of cortical functions are not expected, the opposite attitude is difficult to hold. Several reasons can be adduced: (1) thoughts cannot easily rally around a nebulous concept of nonlocalization, (2) research in humans is limited by the shortcomings of clinical investigations, which have allowed for very little progress since the 19th century, and (3) the easily obtainable abstractions concerning "functions" in man do not seem to have a

Talking With...patrick Dempsey
CBS (Mondays, 8:30 p.m. ET)
Anyone remember That's Life? Not the Sinatra song, the ABC sitcom that lived briefly in early spring. The King of Queens is like that show, only better. (Okay, some will say it could hardly be worse.) On That's Life, Gerry Red Wilson was loud and obnoxious as a working-class husband in the New York City borough of Queens whose household was disrupted by an invading in-law. The King's central character is in a similar situation, but star Kevin James (formerly a semiregular on Everybody Loves Raymond, to which his new series also bears some resemblance) is comparatively polite and lots more likable. Leah Remini (Fired Up) is engaging as James's wife, in whose hands he appears to be putty, but the real lure here is Jerry Stiller as the aging, eccentric father-in-law who moves into James's house after—oops!—burning down his own. Admittedly, the role is not a great departure from his Seinfeld characterization of Jason Alexander's loony pop, but we welcome any opportunity to admire Stiller's superb comic timing.
Bottom Line: Not too original, but the cast makes this King more than a commoner
Show of the week
King Lear
PBS (Sun., Oct. 11, 9 p.m. ET)
If you've ever had the tiniest bit of trouble following Shakespeare (and who among us has not?), you may find this 272-hour Mobil Masterpiece Theatre production off-putting at first. Director Richard Eyre has his cast speaking harshly and rapidly. The red walls of Bob Crowley's austere set seem to ring with fury as old King Lear (Ian Holm, The Sweet Hereafter) rashly denies honest Cordelia (Victoria Hamilton) her share of his kingdom, then suffers double betrayal at the hands of his other daughters, the false flatterers Goneril (Barbara Flynn) and Regan (Amanda Redman). When Lear tries to outshout howling winds, and only snatches of famous passages ("Pour on—I will endure") are fully intelligible, the effect can be frustrating and somewhat intimidating. But as the king's rage gives way to a less destructive form of insanity and he stumbles through the fog toward a final state of understanding and reconciliation, you'll perceive the arc of Holm's performance—and perhaps be moved by this tragedy as never before. Yes, endurance is what matters.
Bottom Line: Powerful production that requires effort and rewards it
The Hughleys
ABC (Tuesdays, 8:30 p.m. ET)
This new series started with some heavy-handed racial humor. African-American businessman Darryl Hughley (comedian D.L. Hughley), having just moved from his old Los Angeles neighborhood to a mostly white suburb, obsessively feared losing his "blackness." The pilot made reference to The Jeffersons, but The Hughleys' roots in sitcom history go way back to when the picture was black and white. Basically, this is the familiar story of a husband and father who is less intelligent than his wife (Elise Neal) and less mature than his young children (Ashley Monique Clark and Dee Jay Daniels). "Why are you being such a baby?" Mrs. Hughley asks him in Episode 2. "Darryl, what is your problem?" she says in Episode 3. We await a good answer. Neal goes smoothly from sweet to tart as the situation demands, and Eric Allan Kramer and Marietta DePrima underplay skillfully as the Hughleys' white neighbors. But for this series to work, the main character—and the star's acting skills—must show signs of growth.
Bottom Line: Nice supporting cast, but not hugely funny
A Marriage of Convenience
CBS (Sun., Oct. 11, 9 p.m.)
You spot the title of this TV movie, note James Brolin's name at the head of the cast and think, Might Barbra Streisand sing at the wedding? Sorry, nothing so special. In this variation on the Parent Trap theme, Jane Seymour (the former Dr. Quinn) plays a single woman who has raised her late sister's illegitimate son (David Kaye) for all seven years of his life. Now the filthy-rich father (Brolin) shows up and lays claim to the lad, antagonizing Seymour. A nasty custody battle is cut short when the kid suggests—and a judge, incredibly, agrees—that Seymour and Brolin should set aside their hostility and marry posthaste for the purpose of responsible parenthood. Will they wind up falling in love? Will Christmas come on Dec. 25? It's all so predictable, yet surprisingly palatable. Conveniently for CBS, Seymour and Brolin make a mighty attractive couple.
Bottom Line: So-so script, but the stars are easy on the eyes
Encore! Encore!
NBC (Tuesdays, 8:30 p.m. ET)
After the pilot was reportedly found wanting, this much-anticipated sitcom from the Frasier creative team underwent retooling prior to its September premiere. But the central problem remains: The protagonist is a fish out of water who'd be more fun splashing around in his own ocean. The often hilarious Nathan Lane {The Birdcage) plays a washed-up bachelor opera star forced to return home to California and make himself useful around the family winery. His dull sister (Glenne Headly) wants the flamboyant Lane to "dim it down a few watts." He dutifully promises to try being "ordinary." Of course he won't succeed, but why even make the attempt? Why not heal the vocal injury that ended the character's career, turn him loose in the opera world and let him sing a song of ego and excess? This winery looks unlikely to yield vintage comedy, particularly if we're continually subjected to the sister's sour grapes. The misplaced tenor should grab his witty mother (Joan Plowright) and take off on tour.
Bottom Line: No call for bravos so far

THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE HBO (8 p.m. ET) No genius, Bill Murray stumbles into a spy plot in this 1997 movie comedy.
>He wooed teenage audiences with films like 1987's Can't Buy Me Love and 199l's Mobsters, and Patrick Dempsey thinks his latest role, in a new adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's 1866 classic novel, Crime and Punishment, will have adolescents cheering all over again. "This is probably one of those things the English teacher is going to show the class," says Dempsey, who plays tormented murderer Rodya Raskolnikov in the NBC film, airing Oct. 11. "The students will be really happy that all they have to do that day is watch a movie."
Dempsey, 32, is overjoyed simply to have survived filming Crime on location in Budapest, where, he says, "mob bombings" were occurring a block from his hotel. "As a Westerner, you don't know how fortunate you are," he says. "There was this real sense of danger just walking down the street." Now Dempsey is back home in L.A., where he has returned to a much safer—and more stylish—undertaking: testing nail polish for his live-in girlfriend, makeup artist Jillian Fink. "My fingers are clean for the moment, but I wear it occasionally," Dempsey admits. "I'm very in touch with my masculinity and my femininity."Irene Zutell

A woman was arrested for cutting her boyfriend's ring finger with a large kitchen knife as he tried to take it away from her during an argument, officials said.
Yania Rivera-Ortiz sliced Luis Resto-Martinez's finger at about 3:50 p.m. Sunday in their apartment at 424 Pierce St., Bethlehem, officials said.
Resto-Martinez was confronted by Rivera-Ortiz holding a 10-inch knife as he opened a bedroom door, and fearing that she was going to stab him, grabbed at the knife with his left hand, officials said.
Resto-Martinez had locked himself in the bedroom and was packing up his things after an argument with his girlfriend, officials said.
Rivera-Ortiz struck her boyfriend in the head and on his body several times before the altercation ended, officials said.
Rivera-Ortiz, 28, was arraigned on assault charges and committed to the Northampton County Prison on $25,000 bail, according to court documents.
A preliminary hearing is set for 9 a.m. Dec. 26.

Coach: Teresa Jacoby, first season
Returning letterwinners: Seniors Ali Rymer (P/1B); Hannah Draper (SS); Makenzie Wentling (C/OF); Haley Hoepf (2B/OF); Taylor Fletcher (OF). Juniors Chelsea Schlack (3B); Abby Hall (1B/2B); Jordan Strahm (OF). Sophomore Sydney Wentling (P/2B).
Others: Seniors Cheyanna Moloney (OF); Presley Elchert (C); Miranda Conley (P/OF). Junior Raven Moloney (OF). Sophomore Kayla Freider (C/OF). Freshmen Dani Bardinelli-Clark (P/IF); Taehlor Niederkohr (P/IF).
Outlook: As the Carey girls basketball team was making its run through the tournament to the Elite 8, it forced many a team to put away the sneakers and pick up the cleats. But the flip side to that is Carey's own softball practice was at less than full capacity until the run ended.
Eight of the 26 players in the program came from the basketball team, including many of the returning starters.
The late arrival of several key players combined with the Icelandic weather the area has experienced has made things tough on first-year coach Jacoby.
"With the weather it's been rough," she said. "We've been stuck in the gym a lot. We've been out on the playground, doing hitting stations and drills. It's just been tough getting all the girls together and getting things done."
She does feel though that it could turn out to be a benefit for the players having a prolonged basketball season.
"In a way this could help us because the eight basketball girls are coming off a successful long run in the tournament, and basketball coach Phil Vaughn had them physically and mentally prepared. So this could be beneficial as we enter our season," Jacoby said. "They should be physically and mentally prepared to play."
Jacoby is far from a stranger to the program. A 2001 Carey graduate, she was previously the JV coach, and also coaches the freshman volleyball team.
"I've been involved with the JV program the last 10 years," she said. "The position was open and I was ready for the change.
"I think it's helped because I've had some of the girls through JV and being the freshman volleyball coach it helps me knowing how they play and the kind of athletes they are."
Carey, though, returns nine letterwinners from a team that finished above .500 last year. Including in that group is the team's two top pitchers.
"We have two pitchers, one is a senior, one is a sophomore, so we should be strong on the mound," Jacoby said. "We have some good speed and some nice hitters. Having a lot of veterans is nice, gives us that strength in numbers. They've played a lot of years together."
Rymer and Sydney Wentling split the pitching duties last year. Rymer was 5-8 with 66 strikeouts and a 3.32 ERA. Wentling was 8-4 with 37 Ks and a 3.65 ERA. Also back their battery mate in Makenzie Wentling, a three year letterwinner behind the plate.
Offensively, the top returning hitter is Draper who posted a .345 average and drove in a team-high 25 runs. Rymer, Sydney Wentling and Fletcher also come back after hiting over .300 last year.

Durham welcome Stokes return
Click here for all the latest scores, match reports, news, videos and exclusive interviews during the Yorkshire Bank 40 campaign
Durham are boosted by the return of Ben Stokes for their Clydesdale Bank 40 Group B match against Warwickshire at the Emirates Durham ICG.
The 20-year-old was in fine form in the 40-over format, scoring 305 runs in six games including an unbeaten 150 against tomorrow's opponents, before a dislocated finger saw him occupy the sidelines for eight weeks.
However, after scoring a half-century against Sri Lanka A on his Durham comeback, the all-rounder is now available for selection.
Paul Collingwood and Michael Di Venuto both scored half-centuries against Hampshire in their only Clydesdale Bank 40 appearance this season and are set to retain their places with Durham looking for a win to join Group B leaders Surrey on 13 points.
A Warwickshire away win will see the Bears jump to second in the group and strengthen their chase for a semi-final place.
Elsewhere in Group B, third-bottom Hampshire face fellow strugglers Leicestershire at Southampton.
In Group A, Yorkshire are without Jacques Rudolph when they travel to face the Netherlands in Amstelveen.
The South African left-hander, who recently rejoined Yorkshire as overseas player for the rest of the season, drops out of the squad that convincingly lost at Sussex last week. Joe Root, fresh from his England Lions call-up, returns for the clash.
The Netherlands, who defeated the White Rose at Headingley Carnegie earlier in the campaign, have the competition's leading wicket-taker Shane Mott at their disposal as they search for their fourth win.
Meanwhile, Worcestershire host Kent at New Road in a bottom-of-the-table clash.
In Group C, the top two go head-to-head as Essex play Somerset at Southend-on-Sea.
Both sides go into the game on the back of crushing victories in the championship and have an array in-form performers within their ranks.
David Masters claimed stunning figures of 8-10 to dismiss Leicestershire for 34, while Ravi Bopara, who struck 176 against the Foxes, is the second-highest wicket taker in the competition with 16 wickets.
Somerset have Marcus Trescothick, who hit another double century in the convincing victory over Worcestershire, and young paceman Lewis Gregory has been impressive with the ball, snaring 13 scalps to date.
Afte Essex's unlikely defeat to Gloucestershire last week, Somerset head coach Andy Hurry knows the importance of the fixture.
He said: "Essex will be under more pressure than us to win and it will be interesting to see how they respond to their CB40 defeat by Gloucestershire last Tuesday.
"That has made the match against us even more important for them. Both teams like to play exciting one-day cricket so it promises to be a very good game."
Glamorgan are without the influential James Harris for the visit of Nottinghamshire at Swansea.
The paceman is unavailable due to his participation in the England Lions tour game with Sri Lanka A at Scarborough and Glamorgan have countered that loss by adding Will Jones, Alex Jones and Nick James to their matchday squad.
Two points for Nottinghamshire would see Chris Read's outfit move second, level on points with the losers at Southend-On-Sea.
Chris Dent could keep his place in Gloucestershire's side for their game against Lancashire at Cheltenham.
Opening batsman Dent struck a maiden century in the championship clash with Surrey and may be given the opportunity to replicate his form in the 40-over format.
Junaid Khan could make a return to the Lancashire team.
The Pakistan seamer was left out of the Red Rose's four-day game with Nottinghamshire but is likely to be recalled for the limited-overs format.
Luke Procter has also been a key part of Peter Moores' limited-overs side this year and may be recalled, while Stephen Parry excelled for the second XI against Yorkshire last week and is another option if Lancashire decide to play an extra spinner.

An unusually long and thin variety of mushrooms, enokis (aka golden mushrooms, enokidake, velvet stem mushrooms) have a mild flavor and a juicy, slightly crunchy texture. They are grown in tight bunches with their thread-like stems clumping together.
Shelf Life: 3-4 days.
Cut off and discard the bottom of the cluster of enoki mushrooms (up to the point where individual mushroom stems can be separated). The stems are generally left long. Before cooking or consuming enoki, clean them gently with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Do not soak them.
While enoki can be eaten raw (often on salads or in sandwiches) many people find cooking these mushrooms makes them easier to digest. Take care to avoid overcooking them, as this can make their stems tough and stringy.
Enoki mushrooms are often served in soups or in stir-fries with vegetables and meat. In Japan they are a common ingredient in sukiyaki, a one-pot meal where diners simmer the vegetables of their choice and thinly sliced Kobe beef in a communal pot of savory broth.
Enoki mushrooms have a mild flavor that makes them adaptable to a wide variety of dishes. Common pairings include rice, soy sauce, mirin, dashi broth, ginger, rice wine vinegar, sea vegetables, garlic, miso, tofu, onions, green onions (especially negi – Japanese bunching onions), beef, pork, and duck.

The Tribe managed a split in a short two game series against Arizona and, while it could easily have been a sweep if things had went a little differently in the opener, they must be happy to have ended their most recent four game losing streak. This team has shown moments of brilliance, but has just as often looked like they couldn't get a hit or an out when it mattered. As far as the current road trip goes, the Diamondbacks were the warm up match as they now go on to face the Mariners, an extremely hot team in baseball's best division and then the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw. If the Indians can continue their trend against Arizona and go .500 the rest of the road trip, they would have to be ecstatic.
The Mariners are playing their best baseball in over a decade, but have the misfortune of playing in the extremely strong AL West. In all of baseball, just twelve teams have at least 40 wins already and three of those are in the West. The Athletics are currently leading all of baseball at 47-30 leaving the M's 5.5 games back when they would be winning the Central or second in the East. While Robinson Cano has not been quite worth $24M, he has been solid all season and Kyle Seager has been a pleasant surprise offensively as well. The Mariners starting rotation is also something to be contended with and the Indians will face the brunt of it, taking on three of Seattle's best four pitchers.
Pitching Match-Ups
Game 1: Friday, June 27th, 10:10 PM EDT (tickets)
Trevor Bauer, RHP, 2-3, 4.40 ERA vs Chris Young, RHP, 6-4, 3.23 ERA
Bauer gave up four runs in his last appearance against Detroit, but was still strong, striking out five and walking just two through 6.1 innings. He has pitched into the sixth in every game, but once this year, making him one of the Indians most dependable starters right now. Even though the Indians carry a massive nine man bullpen, they have already worn out their bullpen on this West Coast trip and they will need as many deep starts as can be given.
The Indians don't match up well in any game against the Mariners this time around and that is largely because Chris Young, who most baseball fans know as the Padres starter who never lived up to expectations, is having his best start to a season since 2007. Young's rate stats aren't incredibly impressive with a K/BB rate of 43/34 with 12 home runs allowed already in 86.1 innings.
Game 2: Wednesday, June 28th, 10:10 PM EDT (tickets)
Josh Tomlin, RHP, 4-5, 4.39 ERA vs Roenis Elias, LHP, 7-5, 3.74 ERA
Tomlin has struggled in his past three starts, allowing 13 runs in 15 innings to the Red Sox, Angels and Tigers. With McAllister stuck in AAA for a few more days and the Indians using a four man rotation, Tomlin getting back to normal is an absolute necessity for the Indians success. He may have some advantage this time around as he hasn't pitched against the M's in a very long time, so most of the lineup hasn't seen him before. That has possibly been the problem of late as he has always struggled against the Sox and Tigers.
Elias is in his rookie season and has already been very impressive, posting a complete game shut out against the Tigers to begin the month. Although the Yankees knocked him around a few games ago, he has shut down the Padres and Royals over his past two starts, keeping them to two runs in 13.2 innings, striking out 11 and walking just two.
Game 2: Sunday, June 29th, 4:10 PM EDT (tickets)
Justin Masterson, RHP, 4-5, 5.03 ERA vs Felix Hernandez, RHP, 9-2, 2.24 ERA
The Indians had an off day before and after the Diamondbacks series so they will be able to continue on with the four man rotation for the present. With that, Masterson will be scheduled to throw this game, rather than Danny Salazar or Zach McAllister despite going just four innings against Arizona last time out. He was saved a loss then by a poor showing of the D-Backs bullpen, but won't be so lucky this time as he goes against one of the premier starters in all of baseball.
King Felix has been rewarding the Mariners for their generosity this season (unlike Justin Verlander with the Tigers) and is finally getting the run production to back him up. After going just 52-45 with an ERA under 3.00 in his past four seasons, he has been racking up the wins this year. As if he needed to get any better, Hernandez is having his best strike out season (128 in 120.1 innings) and is keeping runners off base (0.95) than ever before. The Indians have beaten Hernandez before, but he looks to be better than ever playing against the toughest Western division he has seen in his career.
On Deck: After just three games back in the AL, the Indians will head back to the land of pitchers batting as they take on the Dodgers for three in LA.

Nanook of the Wasatch: Braving Cougar away games, so you don't have to.
If any of you follow me on twitter (@longballj) and I can't really recommend that you do, you probably know that Amieable and I were in attendance for last Thursday's basketball debacle against the Utes. For some rage and humiliation tinted thoughts on our Men's hoops team, as well as other musings on such topics as the basketball experience offered by the Huntsman arena, our new defensive coordinator and the abundance of national headline making heroism on the very road we live on… read on!
So while most of you were safe at home following the little weeble wobble men on a game tracker, or the University of Utah's live Web stream of Thursday's game, Amieable and I were in Section M, row 18, seats 5 and 6 of the Huntsman Center watching the Cougs hit rock bottom live and in 3D. The Cougs' overtime loss to Utah may be the lowest low in the Bone era; an era that is fast becoming known for its epic, shocking and inexplicable "lows". In fact lets go ahead and try and rank the low moments that have been brought to us by Bone ball:
- Losing to Utah
- Losing to Riverside (or perhaps the whole Anaheim tournament)
- Getting run out of Madison Square Garden by Wichita State (lost by over 30)
- Losing by 26 at Oregon in 2011 (We had beaten this bad Oregon team by 14 in Pullman)
- Losing by 25 at Arizona State in 2010 (We had just beaten Arizona)
- Losing to a BAD Arizona State team in 2011.
- Going 2-10 in our final 12 games of 2010 (this included wrapping up the season by losing 3 straight to the Oregon schools)
- 3/5 of the starting lineup getting busted for pot in 2011
Feel free to rearrange or add to this list any way you see fit. One thing that has stood out to me is how every time we are about to get excited about Bone's teams, they ALWAYS find a way to not just disappoint us, but to completely crush our spirits. Getting all the way to the final 4 of the NIT only to be humiliated on national TV, shocking Arizona on their home floor only to turn around and get blown out by ASU, dropping both games in LA to start the 2011 conference slate after a terrific non-conference run, following a terrific win over UW with a baffling beat down at the hands of Oregon, etc, etc, etc. If the pattern holds we will beat the Dawgs this week then half the team will get arrested with a bunch of hookers and coke during the post game celebration at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel. I can't wait.
So what was it like being there? Well, there was a sparse crowd in the Huntsman Center on Thursday and their reactions to the win were very interesting. As a whole the crowd did not really sense they could win until near the very end of regulation. With under a minute to go they got into the game and stayed vocal throughout the overtime period. There were some very vocal fans behind us who seemed shocked every time one of the Utah players did anything positive and even they were content to yell at rather than for their team for most of the night. Clearly this was a fan base that had seen some horrendous basketball. When the buzzer sounded at the end of overtime there was genuine disbelief and as Amieable and I left the arena the Utah fans seemed too stunned to even make any remarks to us at all. I say this because the Utes are not a fan base known for their sporting good behavior and I was expecting us to be on the receiving end of some comments. None came and we made it to our car completely un-molested.
Huntsman Arena: Its like Beasley and the Tacoma Dome had a baby.
While the Cougar's performance and the sparse crowd (the Utah students were still on break) did not impress us at all, the facility did and we are happy to report that the Huntsman Center is a very nice addition to the Pac-12. First of all it looks cool, with this big crazy Star Trek Enterprise style disk hanging over the arena supporting the lights and center scoreboard. The center scoreboard had a nice big screen I could have watched the entire game on and of course the arena is adorned with the many banners from Utah's rich basketball history. Suprisingly though, the Rick Majerus era was outdone by what appears to be a prolific women's gymnastics program. In many ways the arena resembles Beasley, especially the concourse, with the major difference being that Huntsman is round while Beasley is octagonal. While Amieable and I splurged a bit for good seats it did seem as though there isn't a bad seat in the house and certainly no obstructed views. I also have to give props to the announcer who does a really good job at the whole "homer announcer" shtick of wildly inflecting his voice for every score by the home team, while briefly and nearly inaudibly mumbling any score by the away team. We do have to point out that the cheerleaders were a big disappointment, but the African dance (I am using this term VERY loosely) themed halftime routine by a local high school cheer squad was one for the ages, including half the squad performing on stilts. For real. All in all, while the arena is definitely a relic of the 70's, much like ours, it still gets high marks.
Hopefully those of you who watched Thursdays game did not make the same mistake we did and tune in for Saturday's game at Colorado. For those that did, we feel ya… hugs. To compound our misery we followed up Saturdays loss by watching Tony Bennet's Virginia Cavaliers grab a last second win over Miami to continue one of the best starts at Virginia since Ralph Sampson was running around in the short shorts. The part that was a real kick in the beans was that they won it with a last second defensive stand. Awww, the memories. It wasn't pretty, but it was the kind of win that we used to savor on the Palouse… a win that was the result of a complete effort on both ends of the court that baffled and frustrated the opponent. Perhaps most importantly, it was a conference win achieved on a night when the team did not have its best game. I miss the days when we played the game well enough that even on our worst nights nobody blew us out and more often than not we still found a way to win. Currently if we have an off night, we can't even beat some of the worst teams in the country.

Don't look at these standings, it won't make you feel any better.
How about we talk about something that is not depressing, like our football team! When was the last time we could say that with a straight face? This weekend it was confirmed that the Cougs have hired Mike Breske as their new defensive coordinator. There is some handwringing going on in the Cougar nation over how long it took to make this much-anticipated hire and also over the hiring of a name not familiar to most fans. While it appears Breske did not start out at the top of Mike Leach's wish list and it very well may be that some other candidates said "no thanks" to the opportunity to join Leach on the Palouse, I still think there is a lot to be excited about in this hire. For one, this wasn't a nepotistic hire of one of Leach's good 'ol buddies, which is notable because Leach has largely built his staff with guys from his past. This is the result of Leach going out and finding a guy that he was impressed with. What impressed coach Leach? I would venture a guess that the Pirate wants an aggressive, risk taking, ball hawking defense and that is exactly what Breske has been running in his nearly 30 years of coaching. He is also known for defenses that shut down the passing game and in the Pac-12, that is going to be paramount. By now we have probably all heard of coach Leach's new found interest in the defensive side of the ball and the time he spent studying up on the Ryan's and their approach to defense. Whatever he learned from that experience I guarantee you played a big part in this hire. I feel pretty confident that while we aren't throwing a big name and a lot of money around in our D-coordinator hiring, we may have landed the right guy anyway. You think guys like Kaufusi, Sua, Mayes, Monroe and Mizell like the sound of blitz crazy scheme? And hell, if it doesn't work out, at least we won't be on the hook for over 600 large like some people we know.
Finally, I have to comment on the incredible spate of opportunistic heroism that has taken place recently just up the road from our humble abode here in Logan, UT. First of all back in September a group of bystanders moved a burning car off a trapped motorcyclist. Not only did this happen just a few hundred yards up the road from our house, but I actually drove up to this scene as it was happening with a co-worker. Our faith in humanity was briefly restored by the actions of all these on-lookers who, thanks to the construction worker, kinda resembled the Village People. Then recently as our faith in humanity again began to waver thanks to Casey Anthony, Bashar al-Assad and the Connell-North Franklin boys basketball team, yet another dramatic act of heroism just up the same road from our house. A car full of kids ended up in the Logan river and tragedy was averted when passers by leapt from their own vehicles into the icy water to rescue the children. Wow, way to go Utah where apparently there is a Hero on every corner. I guess if we are going to fit in here its time to brush up on our first aid.
Finally, stay tuned to the recruiting news this week as Coach Leach had a number of big visits this weekend. Some exciting guys on that list and hopefully there will be some new commits very soon.
Well that's all for now, but it is Apple Cup basketball week so good luck to Christian Caple on the first big test of his objectivity and GO COUGS!

Television: TVs annual backslapping event needed lessons in how to throw a party
A COUPLE OF years ago I was at a dinner party which inevitably descended into drunken unpleasantness; the kind where you have to convey the concept "Oliver Letwin" using only one word, or nominate a scene from a postwar film that most accurately represents your personality.
While, for the second game, everyone was choosing the chess scene from Seventh Seal or something knowing from Salò: The 120 days of Sodom, I drew a blank. The only thing I could come up with was the bit in Heidi where Peter pushes the wheelchair over a cliff — mainly because me and

We have no alerts at this time, please check back for new PGA Merchandise alerts!
In Partnership With:
Each year the UIA presents awards to inventor participants in the industry shows we sponsor. The focus is not on randomly awarding a trophy. But rather to create a set of awards that professionals in the inventing and commercialization industry use to recognize the hard work and dedication those inventors have given to the process of innovation.
Most Innovative Concept ~ The Golf Square, Booth IS5
Best Manufacturing Analysis ~ PushNPutt, Booth IS7, http://www.pushnputt.com/
The Pinnacle Award ~ PGF Personal Golf Fan, Booth IS2, www.pgffan.com
Using a roving interview method, each exhibiting participant in the inventor area was judged by a panel of professionals. These professionals have been selected based on the experience and background they possess in the areas of product development, consumer purchasing, Inventing, Marketing, Packaging, or other related fields.
Each judge was given a set of criteria used to assess if the inventor and the invented product/concept best meet the spirit of the award. This assessment is based solely on the criteria outlined for each award and represented by a line item numerical score.
For the 2013 PGA Merchandise show, each team of judges approached the inventors at their leisure until all inventors/product had been properly judged in all 3 categories. The judges may have asked questions or requested to see documentation, research or demonstrations.
The award categories for the 2013 PGA Merchandise show were as follows:
The UIA Inventor Spotlight awards are your opportunity to show not only your product, but to show professionals in the industry you have what it takes to understand the commercialization process. If you have any questions please feel free to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

The United Inventors Association of America was proud to present the 3rd annual Inventor education seminar at the 2013 PGA Merchandise Show. An important part of the UIA inventor educational program, this seminar is hosted by the UIA as a free service to the inventor community.
"The Inventor's Spotlight at the International PGA Golf Merchandise Show was an awesome (THE) place to be! We had a fabulous time networking and personally introducing our new practice green product, PushNPutt, to rave reviews from hundreds of influential attendees. A huge "Thank You" to Russ Williams, Mark Reyland and all the great folks we met from Invention Home and the United Inventor's Association. We could not have demonstrated how PushNPutt promotes better practice and protects the greens in a better venue. The PGA and Invention Home/UIA is a powerful partnership - offering not only an excellent day ahead educational opportunity but valuable pre-market feedback as well. Those who saw our product in action agreed, PushNPutt is simply a "A Better Way to Practice and Play!" With winning "Best New Product Manufacture Analysis" and post show outreach from those we met from all over the globe, we are enthused about our future success. Many thanks from all of us for helping to make the official launch of PushNPutt exceed all expectations."

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: mack
I want to get started with web development by using it mostly to create a few tools..think internet marketing tools, just that in my case it'll be tools for a language learning website. For example: a tool that allows you to type in vocabulary and save it (and then ask you those vocabularies in a random fashion when you want to practice them), etc.
I just learned how the basic a* path finding algorithm works (using squares) and how to translate it into logical commands(exp?) in order to find out what learning algorithms really is like (I know its used for games, but I found it interesting)
Just to get an idea of how complicated things get: Are the algorithms I would need to learn in order to create things such as the simple tool idea mentioned above (using php and mysql for example) be on a similar level of difficulty or less/more advanced than that?
