Tant praised for 'monumental' column
Thanks to local columnist Ed Tant for the inspiring editorial-page commentary in Sunday's Athens Banner-Herald on the sculptures in our nation's capital.
Perhaps one of the reasons that Tant's column, headlined "Excursion to D.C. was monumental," resonated with me is that I'm a sculptor myself.
My favorite quote is one by Frederick Douglass, a 19th-century American social reformer mentioned by Tant. The quote, which we sometimes recite responsively from my church's book of readings, is: "Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning." The sentence's two nature metaphors, and its triple use of antithesis, combine to create a memorable image.
I'd like to thank the Athens Banner-Herald for reinforcing the power of public art to commemorate and form our country's conscience.

Does your young explorer love adventure and mysteries? Choose a four-poster bed for him:once the covers are closed over, he can devise his plans away from prying eyes and wild animals.
Then multiply the hiding places, useful for both hiding treasures and for rediscovering the ones you thought were lost. Trunks, boxes, drawers etc. It all works as long as it has an air of secrecy!
To transform your child's bedroom into a new world of discovery, start by helping him to set up camp. Firstly, a bed, preferably a four-poster:curtains closed, he'll think he's in the bush! Then, add a chest of drawers or an exotic closet to tidy his things, a desk to recount his expeditions and one or two trunks to keep his treasures in. Decoration-wise, whatever calls you on a journey is allowed: nature trophies and plates on the walls, model aeroplanes on the ceiling, globes and animal sculptures on the furniture.

Manufacturing was rebounding this month in the region after suffering a setback due to the severe winter, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia reported on Thursday.
The closely watched survey's broadest measure for general factory activity - new orders and shipments - returned to positive numbers in March from a negative reading in mid-February, the bank said.
Seventy-five factory operators responded to the latest survey, said Mike Trebing, senior economic analyst at the bank.
A month ago, the Philly Fed said severe winter weather had taken a toll on factories, pushing the manufacturing index downward for the first time in nine months.

Skip to comments.Caption Pelosi today at Homeless Stout St. Clinic in Denver
Posted on 08/07/2009 9:49:39 PM PDT by AmericanMade1776
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., responds to question during a news conference after a visit to the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless' Stout Street Clinic in Denver, Colo., on Thursday, Aug. 6, 2009. Pelosi says boisterous protests at Democrat-sponsored health care promotions this summer won't derail a massive health overhaul looming when Congress returns to work next month. (AP Photo/Ed Andrieski)
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Pelosi will botox treatments be covered in your new Democrat Health Care Overhaul? Looks like your Botox has shifted and it isn't Pretty. Guess you are going to need a Botox Overhaul.
helen is that you?
Looks like the Joker to me.
She looks like an undertaker.
Damn, she looks worse than Michael Jackson did.
It is True.."hate rust the bucket that holds it"
Pelosi=Rusty Bucket
The Un-dead
Yes, strangely enough the botox seems to have shifted to her teeth, eliminating the lines between them.
Wow, that 'bob' hairdon't looks pathetic on her now, doesn't it?
She's buckling under the pressure. Full speed ahead.
Botox on the Rocks.
You ever see the two of them together?
At the same time?
So, how many of our FRiends showed up to greet Nasty Pelosi?
Hey Nancy . . when you take communion, do you think of all those aborted babies . . . and when you were at the shelter today, did you think of this:
"If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
"Now, everyone, this is how we kiss my butt."
Diana DeGette (D-Denver) in the background: "Congress ain't as fun as it used to be."
My eyes! My eyes! I should have know better than to come in here.
Pure Vanity; La Pelosi came to Denver and a silly moonbat attacked me.
I saw the you tube footage earlier of the crowd greeting Pelosi and Denver and there where hundreds of protesters there to greet Pelosi.
Forgot her special lighting for HDTV.
That explains why Pelosi's teeth look out of place on her face.
The House Madam looks like a haggard harridan.
One woman freak show.
DING DING DING!!!! We have a winner! Well, at least, I think so...
It's good we're building this homeless shelter, because soon most of you will be living here. :D
We all need to post these elected librats public speaking schedules on our FR state's boards. I've already hit Colorado's with Pollis and Perlmutter's schedules. We all should do this.
Idiots don't even know what that means LMAO, oh darn, another wrinkle call the doc
Sad eyes. I hope she knows how much trouble she's in, LOL.
Lady in pink behind her, "Geez, Nancy, did you forget to iron your face today?"
Looks more like someone took a wood plane to her face.
Geez! Her eyes look almost normal.
What is she doing in Colorado?
Pelosi doesn't need photoshopping. She looks just like a Manson family member before a parole board for the n'th time.
Imagine what her insides look like if she looks this bad on the outside! She is EVIL! Anyone that willing to lie just to get her way and not caring about anyone else is evil.
Oddly - Steven Tyler is Italian American like Il Duce. Steven Tyler whose real name is Stephen Victor Tallarico was born in New York on 26 March 1948." He is 61 and she is what 81?
He could be her younger sister.
Anyone what to post a caption of Il Duce being hung by his boots at the gas station in Italia during the war?
That is what she looks like inside.
This is her outside:
A dollar to a donut that this ol' twat flew to Denver in style - a taxpayer funded Gulfstream V.
Faces of Meth!!
"...And then you'll be given a weensy widdle pill..."
Its rather ironic that Nancy is talking health care at a homeless shelter. Under her plan these people don't contribute, and therefor must die.

The ugliest kind of untruthfulness in children occurs when they accuse one another. The problem is to find a scapegoat. Here a great mistake in rearing children is committed. Punishing a scapegoat is a pointless revenge and constitutes a new wrong.
The Son of a Servant August Strindberg, 1886
The yearly influx of newly minted physicians to our hospitals has led me to reflect on a physician behavior that is so elusive and ingrained that I cannot completely define or change it in this brief note. Even the origin of the word is clouded. In the Mosaic ritual of atonement (Lev 16:8), a goat symbolically invested with the sins of all the people was released into the wilderness to appease Azazel, an evil spirit. A medieval mistranslation of "Azazel's goat," rendered as "escaped goat," is the root of scapegoat, defined as one who is blamed or punished for another's shortcomings

Doc said the heartbeat was roughly 160 and strong. Tried to tell husband that the heartbeat isn't an indicator of gender but that's not stopping him from listening to all of his friends who say it will be a girl.

Our next appt will put us past the 18 week mark to determine the gender. Is everyone else going to find out before the birth?

"Contemporary Socialism" , John Rae.
Marx ridicules the theory of these fluctuations given by political economists, that high wages lead to their own fall by encouraging marriages, and so in the end increasing the supply of labour, and that low wages lead to their own rise by discouraging marriages and reducing the supply of labour.

Get Your Salary Guide
The Robert Half 2016 Salary Guide provides a reliable benchmark of jobs and salaries in the UAE. It includes the latest salary and benefits information and unique insights into current recruitment trends for accounting and finance, financial services, IT, human resources and administration and legal positions.
Download the salary guide for:
- average salaries across a number of sectors
- the anticipated year-on-year salary increases
- commentary on the current hiring environment
This year, we have also included insights into how employers can recruit for the right cultural fit.
Download the salary guide for more information or use our salary calculator to instantly review salaries for a variety of roles.
The Hiring Climate
Businesses in the UAE are focused on improving their operations and maintaining their position in the market. Although the regional economy has plateaued recently – attributed slightly to the reduction in oil and gas activity – UAE employers continue to fill open jobs and backfill permanent positions.
The region's successful bid for Expo 2020 continues to drive up optimism for business growth over the coming years, and this in turn is creating a shortage of the best candidates to help take organisations forward. As a result, 93% of CFOs find it challenging to secure skilled, professional-level employees. Almost half (48%) say that the primary reason for this is the lack of niche, technical experts. As international economies return to pre-recessionary levels, UAE companies are having to compete on an international scale to attract top-performing candidates as the perceived benefits of relocating to the UAE for these candidates have diminished.
Trends Affecting Hiring
Even with the plateau of the economy and reduction in government spending, companies are optimistic about the region's growth prospects. The majority (85%) of finance directors say that they are more optimistic about economic growth than 12 months ago, while 89% say that they are more optimistic about their own company's prospects than a year before.
The UAE region continues to benefit from its long-standing policy of diversification away from oil production. The most popular asset class for UAE investors is real estate, with 67% believing it to be the best performing asset in 2015.
This interest in real estate is echoed by the fact that the construction sector topped a recent list of major employers, followed by the business sector. The region's Ministry of Labour commented that the business sector made up a quarter of total employment and that the UAE's labour market is 'heading towards attracting talent and expertise in specialised and technical professions'.
Retention Challenges
As skills shortages continue to bite, HR directors are becoming more concerned about losing talented professionals to the competition, locally and internationally. Almost three-quarters (72%) say that they are worried about top performers leaving in the next year.
HR directors believe that the main reason for employees to leave the company is the offer of higher remuneration, with 29% citing this as the top motivator. Other reasons to leave include career advancement (27%), better work–life balance (24%), better location (13%) and better corporate culture (7%). With the decline in offering all-inclusive relocation incentives combined with rising living costs, businesses are investing in training and development and career progression opportunities for existing staff.
Bearing all this in mind, it's more important than ever for companies to benchmark existing employees' remuneration packages against current industry standards to avoid employees leaving for greener pastures.
Salary Trends
For most professionals, salary is only one part of the picture. When offered multiple roles, other factors come into play, including potential bonuses and employee benefits. As the skills shortage intensifies, employers will need to revisit their overall remuneration strategies to make sure they are keeping up with industry benchmarks.
CFOs believe that employees' wish lists for additional pay and rewards would be topped by more flexible work hours despite 61% of CFOs indicating that flexible work options have increased over the last five years.
From an HR perspective, bonuses will remain one of the most important elements of employee remuneration packages. Almost a third (29%) of HR managers say that bonuses will increase in the year ahead. This is balanced by 43% of HR managers who say that bonuses will be frozen and 20% who say that they will reduce bonuses - reflecting the cautious approach UAE businesses are taking to rebuilding their businesses for growth.

Schaefer: HBO, The Roadblock To Hopkins-Stevenson
by Rick Reeno
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer has advised BoxingScene.com that IBF light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (54-6-2, 32KOs) is ready to face his WBC counterpart, Adonis Stevenson (23-1, 20KOs), in a high-stakes unification.
Following his recent TKO victory over Tony Bellew, Stevenson called for a fight with Hopkins. The fight would be a big seller in Canada. In his last five fights, Hopkins traveled over to Canada on two occasions to face another Canadian star, Jean Pascal - and snatched the WBC title from Pascal before a sold out Bell Centre in Montreal.
Schaefer has a good relationship with Stevenson's promoter, Yvon Michel, and doesn't expect any issues with reaching an agreement. Michel has already spoke to Schaefer about the fight.
The only problem in getting the fight together, says Schaefer, is the network standoff. Earlier this year, HBO cut their business ties with Golden Boy. Since that time period, Hopkins and other Golden Boy fighters have fought exclusively on rival network Showtime.
Schaefer indicates that he tried to present Hopkins-Stevenson to HBO in the past, and the network rejected the fight.
Most insiders believe Hopkins has a good shot, stylistically, to beat Stevenson. Because of that, does HBO take the risk of matching a boxer they are trying to build against a fighter who could win and then easily bounce back to Showtime.
Hopkins recently drew a rating of 1 million on Showtime, against Karo Murat - who was unknown to nearly the entire American audience - so there is no question that people would watch a fight with Stevenson.
Making the fight actually happen has come down to network politics and Schaefer says the politics became clear to him when HBO broadcaster Max Kellerman was taking several shots at Hopkins during HBO's recent doubleheader that featured Stevenson in the main event.
HBO would rather match Stevenson against WBO champion Sergey Kovalev, who fights on their network, but Stevenson does not appear to be on board with facing the dangerous puncher, at least in his next fight.
"Yvon has called me. I have a friendly relationship with Yvon and always have. We have fun working together and the results speak for themselves. Bernard is in a very good position, even though Max Kellerman was very disrespectful in his post-fight comments about Bernard and frankly about Stevenson too. I think Bernard, without any question, whether people love him or not, should be respected for what he has done and where he stands. One has to be a moron if he wants to argue who is the biggest name in the light heavyweight division, it is clearly Bernard Hopkins," Schaefer said.
"He keeps turning back the clock and beating up these young guys. And in these last few fights nobody can say that he's not exciting. He is clearly the one who brings the most to the table. Are Kovalev and Stevenson the bigger punchers? Yes, they are. But that doesn't mean that because they are bigger punchers, that you disrespect one of the most accomplished fighters in the history of the sport. Kellerman says 'Hopkins is still hanging around' and that's not how you respect a legendary champion. And quite frankly, Hopkins will beat all of them [at light heavyweight]. The guy is an alien. He is an alien!"
If HBO doesn't pay Stevenson the money to fight Kovalev. He can fight Hopkins on Showtime but he will ruin his chances fighting on HBO again. I don't think Stevenson promoter will do that. I wish HBO would work with…Comment by The Fan on 12-07-2013
Hopkins beats Stevenson and Kovalov you dumbAsses!!Comment by Golovkin on 12-07-2013
Good, now one exit out of the Kovalev arena has been closed. Froch is the other one... once that's closed, Stevenson will have no direction to escape to.Comment by Mr. Philadel on 12-07-2013

Are you sure about that?
Actually it's hard on slang issue, really hard.
It was a joke because he had horrible grammar.
If you look at my post above that, you'll see that I clearly say that English Slang is some of the hardest stuff to learn...
WTF with that grumpy face?
It was actually a confirming. how ever you didn't mention that.
Weakness is what brings ignorance, cheapness, racism, homophobia, desperation, cruelty, brutality, all these things that will keep a society chained to the ground, one foot nailed to the floor.

Sonic ReducerOxford Collapse Bits · Ellis Marsalis Quartet An Open Letter to Thelonious · Son Ambulance Someone Else's DÈj� Vu
Monk fans might not jump with joy to hear that the Ellis Marsalis Quartet (Derek Douget, saxes; Jason Stewart, bass; Jason Marsalis, drums) has released a collection of Monk tunes. After all, how far can the pianist's elegant swing take the angular material? The high points in this uneven effort make it worthwhile, though, particularly the softened "Monk's Mood," the lively fun of "Rhythm-a-ning" and the harmonically rich and sensitive rendering of "'Round Midnight." Kudos to J. Marsalis for understanding that Monk was just plain funky, and to E. Marsalis for playing Monk's tunes, not bronzing them. (MM)

HUNTSVILLE - Time finally ran out for condemned killer Billy Frank Vickers, but the career criminal went to his death by leaving behind an unexpected disclosure he may have been involved in more than a dozen murders, including the Cullen Davis case in Fort Worth.
"I would like to clear some things up if I could," Vickers, 58, said strapped to the Texas death chamber gurney Wednesday night in the moments before he received lethal injection for the slaying of a grocery store owner in Lamar County in North Texas almost 11 years ago.
He acknowledged that fatal shooting during a botched robbery, reversing his previous denials, adding: "There was several more that I had done or had a part of. I am sorry and I am not sure how many - there must be a dozen or 14 I believe all total.
"One I would like to clear up is Cullen Davis, where he was charged with shooting his wife. He didn't do that.
"And all of these it was never nothing personal. It was just something I did to make a living."
He didn't elaborate.
In 1976, former millionaire oilman Davis was accused of killing his second wife's 12-year-old daughter at his Fort Worth mansion. The trial was moved to Amarillo.
Priscilla Davis, Davis' second wife, who died in 2001 of unrelated causes, was among the wounded.
Her boyfriend was killed. Cullen Davis was acquitted of his stepdaughter's murder and was later acquitted of murder-for-hire charges in a separate case.
Jack Strickland, a former prosecutor who worked on the Davis case, said Wednesday night that he had never heard of Vickers and doubted that he was involved in the 1976 shooting.
"For some perverse reason known only to him (Vickers), he once again screwed with the system. I certainly don't put any stock in it, not the slightest bit," Strickland said.
At the time, Davis was worth an estimated $400 million and was thought to be the richest man to stand trial on murder charges.
Vickers had prefaced his Davis reference by talking about another Lamar County killing where he said an inmate serving a life term wasn't responsible for the murder.
"I did not do it, but I was with his daddy when it was done," he said.
Vickers wrapped up his final comments by repeating he was sorry and that, "I love you all. That is all I have to say."

Skip to comments.Student Saves Teacher Stabbed By Colleague
Posted on 12/24/2011 10:17:19 AM PST by WOBBLY BOB
Dozens of teens and teachers froze as they say 40-year-old Ronette Ricketts began viciously stabbing fellow English teacher Cynthia Glozier. 3 wounds to the head, 2 puncture wounds to the neck, a dozen more to her back and body.
(Excerpt) Read more at wpix.com ...
But dozens froze? The plan to make people passive is working well.
Two generations of "call 9-1-1" and fear of lawsuits has made people hesitant.
Big HURRAH for the kid that took action.
Crappy reporting. Does this journalist realize that he/she did not tell what the student actually did?
Romantic rivalry perhaps.
First Degree Attempted Assault?
I really have to wonder about the intelligence of the modern legal system sometimes.
"I really have to wonder about the intelligence of the modern legal system sometimes."
When the lawyers make the laws, the laws become all about generating wealth for the lawyers. The huge expense of justice was one the reasons we had a revolution.
"But dozens froze.."
I can only imagine if I was a high school student that saw two TEACHERS fighting... I might freeze as well. Good job to the young man who stepped in. It sounds like he may have literally saved a life.
Yes, he probably did save the teacher's life. Very good for him, and that he was able to use the football skills he'd learned to get the weapon out of the attacker's hand. Quick thinking and quick action on his part.
Ms. Ricketts appears to be someone who got stiffed at the Air Jordan free-for-all. It was nice to see, in the news video, that the court room at her arraignment was packed with well-wishing, student yoots.
Dont they usually file the most drastic charges possible to scare the perp in to pleading to a lesser charge?
This must have been a green assistant DA who was just filling the spot solo for the first time while everyone else was home for the holidays.
"Principal Edgar Glascott said students, teachers and faculty are all in shock as both teachers are extremely well liked. Ricketts' defense attorney said students packed the courtroom this morning to show their support of her. Sources tell PIX 11 Ricketts feared she was about to be fired.
While Principal Glascott confirmed he had heard of Ricketts' fears, they were unfounded. "
What else you start yelling FIGHT
I'm thinking high school football players may be more use to "scuffles" and putting themselves into a situation where violence is present. Centuries ago when I was in high school, a female teacher set up a fake scenario where a student "got out of control and appeared as if he was going to hit her". It was part of a psychology class and it was suppose to be the lead up to a discussion about when people intervene. Long story short, the only two students who intervened and grabbed the male student were two football players. Hmmm?
Diversity has a price paid in blood.
Unions usually support the employee when they appeal job actions like dismissals, not criminal charges. If the employee has legal coverage through a union sponsored insurance program her coverage can come from that, otherwise she hires a defense attorney.
If she is not found guilty, she could come back to the union and appeal for her job, but the district can fire her even though she was found not guilty in court. Different standard of evidence.
"I saw Ms. Ricketts just hammering her in the side of head. I saw a lot of blood. It was shocking. I just jammed her really hard to get the screwdriver fly out of her hand. If I didn't step in she would have killed her."
Centuries ago?
..or a very smart DA who didn't want to be accused of racism.
After doing "community service" for her temporary lapse in judgement, she will be promoted to a higher paying, less stressful job. Very likely, she will be the principal's boss.
Do not overlook the trump, racism card. Its power is awesome, incredible, but reliable.
You left out, "'mon, Ricketts! Keel dat wyatt beeotch!"
Here's a link to a story with more details and a video of the hero. http://larrybrownsports.com/high-school/football-player-break-up-hallway-stabbing-school/105931
Hero football player, Justin Richardson.
To clarify.......it appears to be a predominately black student body at the school......the attacking teacher is black, the victim is white. The principal is a rather young white man, he looks younger than both the teachers involved.
Thank God, the young black male student intervened. He saved someone's life. He is a hero.
At the end of the video, the reporter intimated that the charges may be increased.
With the action going on, I would wait to get a good look at the weapon...intervening it a knife fight can get you killed. A screwdriver is less deadly. One student knew what to do, that was all they needed. Thank God for him.
Looks like a decent kid from a good family.
Kudos to Mr. Richardson (who sort of looks like Clark Kent in this picture).
it was battery, not assault. rme
And we wonder why it is that blacks are 12% of the population but commit 50% of the murders.
Atheletes in contact sports have a sense of being strong and tough. They develop a sense of determination to physically achieve what they set out to do and have the self confidence to do it. They play knowing they are risking injury to themselves. They are not afraid of pain. They know how to injure opponents. They learn to think and exercise self control while the adrenalin is running high.
My son, a lacrosse player, stepped in to rescue a woman who was being kidnapped in a parking lot. The victim sends him birthday cards on his birthday and thankyou cards on her birthday. She's married and has three children and was targeted randomly by the perp.
I agree. Doesn't have a name like Le Romulus Richardson, either. Doesn't try to talk "thug." I bet he goes to a church.
Ricketts, on the other hand, looks like trouble waiting to happen. Attitude written all over her face. Not a happy one.
Black teacher attacking a white teacher.
Certainly not a hate crime.
Eric Holder said this is obviously a racist attempt by the dying white power structure to single out a well liked black teacher and make her appear to be violent on the basis of one isolated incident.
He pointed out that all of the black kids in the school support her and her neighbors said she was a good girl when she was little.
I thought the same thing.
~ Larry Elder, "The Ten things You Can't Say In America"
Can't speak directly for New York, but Grand Juries aren't used in the case of normal criminal charges in my area. They are only convened when the DA needs to conduct an investigation to determine if charges are warranted.
Even in serious murder cases, the DA files charges and there is a preliminary hearing before a judge, although the preliminary hearing is frequently waived by the defendant and the case goes directly to trial or a plea agreement.
The article said that she was to go before a grand jury on Tuesday.
Black on white violence, I'm shocked.
You have got to be so PROUD of your son! Not only did he save the woman's life but the future three children that she has now. No wonder she sends him cards. She has to think, "If it wasn't for him, what would have happened?" Bless your son. You did a good job, Mom!
"Centuries ago..."
You caught that one, did you?! LOL! Yes, today I feel like I graduated CENTURIES ago!
It feels like centuries since I was little. I can remember back to 1981,maybe part of 1980.
Where's the black outrage?
On days like this... I can't even remember if I had breakfast. I am able to walk so I must have had coffee!
I've had days in which I couldn't remember if I ate,too!
Don't you get rickets if you haven't had enough Vitamin B?
She sure is. It's good to see someone jumping in to help a person in grave danger.
Ricketts is from a vitamin D deficiency.
I just looked it up and it doesn't affect adults,according to Wikipedia.
For someone who lives in Florida I'm awfully pale. I'm mostly German so I burn easily.Very easily. You should see my grandfather! He's very white and he and my grandmother have been here for 20 yrs.

CHEAPFEST 2011!! 20+bands 10-15min sets
Label: Mind Flare Media
Manager: Tuberculosis Jones
Bio: Started in 2005 by Bryan Stancil. Became a 3 piece in 2011 and reformed into a 2 piece in 2013. Has played with bands such as Daughters, The White Mice, All Leather, Cock ESP, dj Skull Vomit, Realicide, the Chinese Stars, Yip-Yip, and Xiu Xiu.
"In a world surrounded by everyday chaos, Cheezface provides a cathartic experience both live and through audio that transcends the ordinary. Bryan's experience with sound design is like Bukowski remixing Fantomas through a filter produced by Einstein. Despondent glitches beating against pounding bass rhythms provides the soundtrack of southern life to the most powerful extent. After watching one of his shows, you will not only be overwhelmed by the sense of relativity to your own personal life, but the enhancement of chaos that you engage in on a weekly basis. So, spin the latest Cheezface record if you want to enhance the consciousness that brings forth the power of glory that is not derivative of most of the computer music coming out of what many call the "scene" today.

PITTSBURGH -- One of the strangest playoff touchdowns you will ever see occurred in the first quarter between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Deep in its own territory, Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was hit from behind by Ravens defensive end Terrell Suggs while trying to throw the football. It was a fumble, but all 22 players stood still for several seconds because they thought it was an incomplete pass.
After no whistle was blown by the officials, Ravens defensive lineman Cory Redding made a smart play by picking up the football and waltzing into the end zone for a 13-yard touchdown. Pittsburgh challenged the play, but the fumble call was upheld.
The Ravens lead 14-7 after the first quarter.

China satellite detects object in jet search area
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- While possible clues about the fate of a Malaysia Airlines jet missing for more than two weeks keep coming from satellite images, it was as frustrating as ever Saturday to turn the hints from space into actual sightings.
China released a satellite image showing an object floating in a remote stretch of the southern Indian Ocean near where planes and ships have been crisscrossing since similar images from an Australian satellite emerged earlier in the week. China's image, showing an object that appeared to be 72 feet by 43 feet, was taken around noon Tuesday.
"The news that I just received is that the Chinese ambassador received a satellite image of a floating object in the southern corridor and they will be sending ships to verify," Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters.
Australian officials said the location was within the 14,000-square-mile area they searched on Saturday, but the object was not found. Australian Maritime Safety Authority spokeswoman Andrea Hayward-Maher said she did not know whether the precise coordinates of the location had been searched, but added that coordinators will use the information to refine the search area.
The authority, which is overseeing the search in the region, said a civil aircraft reported seeing a number of small objects in the search area, including a wooden pallet, but a New Zealand military plane diverted to the location found only clumps of seaweed.
