Traffic nightmare expected for N.J. commuters on George Washington Bridge
Get ready for gridlock.
Starting Saturday, a major road repair project on the New York side of the George Washington Bridge is expected to cause unprecedented backups on the New Jersey side — especially during morning rush hours. And the daily delays for cars heading to New York are expected to last for at least the next three months.
Getting across the world's busiest bridge is rarely easy during rush hour, but traffic engineers estimate that backups on eastbound Route 95 could extend to Route 80 in Hackensack — nearly five miles from the bridge — and down the New Jersey Turnpike, a New York Department of Transportation spokesman said Tuesday. Traffic heading back to New Jersey from New York will not be affected.
Significant and consistent delays on North Jersey's busiest traffic arteries could also mean spillover into side streets, as commuters look for alternative routes, experts said.
A Port Authority spokesman said the agency was not aware of a past road repair project that caused such a sustained and severe impact on traffic flow at the bridge, crossed easterly by 140,000 vehicles per day. But because the project is in New York, the delays are sure to take some New Jersey commuters by surprise on Monday morning.
"I wasn't even aware that there was a project, but you can bet that until it's done, I'll be taking the train," Kris Baker, 47, of Teaneck said after learning about the construction on Tuesday. He said he usually drives to his job at a bank in Manhattan.
The expected backups are due to a $409 million rehabilitation of the Alexander Hamilton Bridge, a nearly 50-year-old arch span that carries Route 95 traffic over the Harlem River, between Manhattan and the Bronx. The mostly federally funded project, the largest the New York State Department of Transportation has ever undertaken, will extend the bridge's life another 75 years. Work is under way, but the fourth of six phases will involve resurfacing the bridge. As a result, the middle section of the eastbound highway will be closed, with traffic diverted to new lanes that curve around it on both sides.
Officials say once completed about two years from now, the same New Jersey roads that will be clogged over the next several months will see fewer delays because of the span's repaved surface and additional breakdown lane.
The highway closure comes about a month before the Port Authority begins overnight closure of a separate highway that feeds into North Jersey's other major Hudson River crossing, the Lincoln Tunnel. In August, the corkscrew-shaped section of Route 495 in Weehawken, better known as the helix, will begin its first major repair in 70 years. But the Port Authority has limited repair work on the helix to between 10:30 p.m. and 5 a.m. on weeknights so the busy roadway can be reopened in time for the morning commute.
The 36,000 eastbound vehicles that cross the George Washington Bridge during the morning rush hour, between 6 and 10 a.m., are not so lucky.
"Our traffic engineers estimate that the eastbound delays at the bridge could be extensive at morning rush hour, and those delays could extend several miles back from the toll plaza" in Fort Lee, said Steve Coleman of the Port Authority. "These are projections, though, so until we see what happens on the first day, it's hard to predict exactly what will happen."
Adam Levine, of the New York State Department of Transportation, which is overseeing the project, said the agency has projected backups to extend to "the Hackensack area" on Route 80 and "down the New Jersey Turnpike." He said he could not provide the amount of time that would add to average commutes.
Bracing for the worst, state transportation agencies in New York and New Jersey said commuters should consider alternate routes. "It's hard to estimate what the direct impacts will be on roadways beforehand," said New Jersey Transportation Department spokes¬man Timothy Greeley. "But certainly, we are preparing as if the work will have impacts here in New Jersey to ensure that we are ready if that's the case."
He said the agency will monitor traffic delays and offer eastbound motorists on Route 495, Route 3, and other affected roadways with suggested alternate routes when George Washington Bridge delays hit 45 minutes or higher.
It won't be only cross-Hudson commuters who are affected if morning backups extend to Route 80 in Hackensack and onto the turnpike. That stretch of Route 95 and other roads that feed into the George Washington Bridge are also used to access towns, such as Englewood, Leonia, Teaneck and Fort Lee.
Jeffrey M. Zupan, senior transportation fellow at the Regional Plan Association, said transportation agencies in New Jersey should embark on a "very strong campaign" to alert drivers in the coming days.
"It's hard to think of a stretch of highway that would be more impacted by maintenance," he said, calling the 14-lane George Washington Bridge "the single most heavily traveled highway link in the metropolitan area."
"When something like this happens, it's really a problem," he said. "And there aren't too many solutions."
He suggested that commuters use public transport, travel at off-peak hours — "and develop a high level of patience," he added. "This, too, shall pass."
Spillover onto side roads is likely, he said.
Commuters already waste a lot of time waiting at the Fort Lee crossing, where peak-hour tolls recently went up from $8 to $9.50 for E-ZPass account holders and $12 for cash-payers. The Port Authority estimated that delays at the George Washington Bridge cost drivers an average total of 12,424 hours each day in 2010 — or the equivalent of 517 days.
Dennis Hirshfelder of Teaneck said the project could be another chance for transportation agencies in both states to encourage more mass transit.
"It is what it is; these projects have to be done," he said. "But why not take the opportunity to push mass transit in a very meaningful way through an aggressive campaign done in an imaginative way?"

Why I Buy All My Hot Toys At Sideshow Collectibles
Today I am going to share with you the reasons Why I Buy All My Hot Toys At Sideshow Collectibles and no where else. If you shop around on the internet you will find that there are a couple retailers that offer Hot Toys a little bit cheaper ($10 or so) than Sideshow, but many of these retailers have recently raised their prices to match Sideshow's pricing. I guess they have realized the value that Hot Toys figures really have. There are many reasons for solely shopping with Sideshow, but today I am just going to share a few key points.
Customer Service
Sideshow Collectibles has some of the best customer service known in the toy industry. There are many people that can agree with me on this one. If you have any sort of a problem with your order then you can return the figure or Sideshow will send you out replacement parts for that particular figure. It's really up to you. Their return policy is that if you aren't 100% satisfied with the product that you received then you can return it within 30 days for a full refund. That's the kind of return policy that you want when you are spending $200+ for a figure.
Exclusive Figures
Sideshow gets the Hot Toys exclusives because they are North America's official US distributor. The exclusive figures usually have some sort of special accessory that you just can't get if you buy it from any other store. More often than not these exclusive items are worth it too. For example, the recently released exclusive DX Joker 2.0 came with a Detonator AND Grumpy Clown Mask. To me these accessories are worth shopping with Sideshow Collectibles.
Sideshow Rewards
If you shop at Sideshow Collectibles regularly like me, then you are going to be racking up the Sideshow Rewards points. You earn Sideshow Rewards points each time you purchase an item on their website! 5% of you purchase will be rewarded back to you in the form of Sideshow Rewards points. So why buy from these other guys when your price really gets lower if you factor in the Sideshow Rewards points?
You Get Your Figures FIRST
Since Sideshow is North America's official US distributor, they get all of the Hot Toys figures first and then they are sent to the retailers from there. If you order from Sideshow then you are pretty much guaranteed to be getting your Hot Toys figure weeks before others. If you are like me and can't wait for the newest releases, then this is a pretty crucial factor in deciding where to buy your Hot Toys figures from.
Free Collectible Cleaning Kit!
Recently Sideshow Collectibles has starting including a cleaning kit with the purchase of almost anything on the Sideshow Website. The kit includes everything that you might need to keep your collectible action figures looking sharp. Included you will find a brush for dusting, small scissors, tweezers, a cloth, and even a mini lint roller.
So as you can see there are some pretty big reasons Why I Buy All My Hot Toys At Sideshow Collectibles and no where else. The biggest reason for me though is their customer service. That is a big one and they are on top of it. They also have multiple ways of contact through email, phone, or chat. With the rewards points and the exclusive figures, I really see no reason to shop anywhere else.

Derrick Williams Wr Penn State. or Pat White QB West Virginia In the 4th round i say we go with Lineman, CB, S, or it most likely wont be a lineman because i think we will obtain FLozell's replacement through FA next season and our depth will be drafted in round 7 and 6 so our 4th round pick will be Jairus Byrd, Oregon, Jr. he can compete will Alan Ball for the 4th spot. we trade our 5th pick for Roscoe Parrish he and DW and Isaih stanback compete for the 6th spot i think Isaih is through.... and we keep 6 receivers this year... the rest of the draft will be used for lineman -Oh yea we will draft no safety but we will pick up one after the draft

A laptop generates tremendous amounts of heat when CPU is subjected to large computational loads, such as, during HD video gaming. The main task of the cooling pad is to assist the internal fans of the laptop in ejecting the air, thus they act as exhaust.

Well, it seems the future is now for Valero. Late last week, the Fortune 500 oil conglomerate announced it will install a patent-pending, next-generation corn oil extraction system at four of its ethanol production sites in the Midwest by March of 2012. The four facilities are all in Iowa: Albert City, Charles City, Fort Dodge and Hartley.Thank you for your interest in Valero Energy. We do not currently extract corn oil at out ethanol plants, but this technology is under consideration and may be implemented in the future.
This unique oil-extracting system will allow Valero to recover one-half pound of oil per bushel of corn, generating additional revenue from the processed maize. Jim Gillingham, Valero's senior vice-president of alternative energy and project development, states:
And that, perhaps, is a biofuel breakthrough.In the basic dry mill ethanol process, all of the corn oil ends up in distillers grains, which is used as livestock feed. The new equipment will allow us to recover corn oil so that it can be sold into higher-value markets for use in animal feed and as a feedstock for biodiesel production.
Company will roll out initial phase at four locations
San Antonio, Texas
Valero Renewable Fuels Company LLC, a subsidiary of Valero Energy Corporation, announced today its plan to install an ICM-patent pending, next-generation Advanced Oil System™ (AOS™) corn oil extraction system at four of its ethanol plants in the Midwest by the end of the first quarter of 2012.
The investment will allow the Valero Renewables plants to recover more than one-half pound of corn oil per bushel of corn processed, giving the plants an additional source of revenue besides ethanol and distillers grains.
The four plants that will take part in the initial installation of corn oil extraction equipment are in Albert City, Charles City, Fort Dodge and Hartley, Iowa. Following the initial rollout of corn oil extraction at these first four plants, Valero Renewables will study the possibility of installing the equipment at another five of its plants that use a dry mill technology to produce ethanol.
"In the basic dry mill ethanol process, all of the corn oil ends up in distillers grains, which is used as livestock feed," said Jim Gillingham, Valero's Senior Vice President-Alternative Energy and Project Development. "The new equipment will allow us to recover corn oil so that it can be sold into higher-value markets for use in animal feed and as a feedstock for biodiesel production."
Valero Renewables expects the corn oil extraction program to enhance plant margins at a low cost, enabling a payback of capital expenditures in less than two years.

Shurron Pierson - 4, Southern Miss, 10/12/02
Selvie leads all NCAA players with 10.5 sacks and 17.5 tackles in five games this season .... He already owns the USF single season record ... It was previously held by Terrence Royal (2005) and Shurron Pierson (2001), who both set the bar at 10 ... The career record for sacks is 20 by Stephen Nicholas ... Selvie is No. 5 in the USF history book with 16 career sacks ... He is already 1.5 shy of the USF single season TFL record of 19 set by Craig Kobel in 2003 ... Selvie had 5.5 sacks as a freshman last season and has already surpassed that number in 2007 ... He was named a freshman All-American by The Sporting News.
Preparing for Smith
USF has not allowed a player to rush for over 100 yards since Rutgers' Ray Rice went for 202 at Raymond James last season ... That is a span of 13 games ... Only six players have rushed for over 100 yards against the Bulls defense since the start of 2005 .... The USF defense, in addition to creating 18 turnovers this season, has some success shutting down the top offensive weapons on opposing teams this season. Below are a couple examples of individual & team averages for West Virginia and North Carolina prior to playing USF and what they did against the Bulls:
|Vs. USF

Starting Notes
Senior center Nick Capogna had his consecutive start streak of 14 snapped at Auburn due to a knee injury ... The fallout from that injury was Jack Griffin starting at center, while Ryan Schmidt moved up the depth chart and started at left guard ... Ben Busbee earned his first career start against Elon, as did right guard Zach Hermann ... Hermann has started ever since ... On defense Brouce Mompremier and Nate Allen started for the first time in their careers against Elon, both have started every game this year ... Mike Ford collected his first career start against West Virginia ... Courtney Denson and Jessie Hester both recorded their first career starts at WR against FAU when USF opened in a five receiver set ... Denson has one career start at QB.
Fast Starts
USF has scored first in the first in all five games this season. The Bulls have received the ball first three times and scored 32 points in the first quarter of the last four games (14 vs. UNC & Auburn, 7 vs. WVU, 7 vs. FAU) and collected a TD on their first two drives against North Carolina.
The Largest
USF has the largest stadium (65,657), largest student section (12,501) and the largest enrollment (44,038) of any school in the BIG EAST.
Freshmen Scores
Mike Ford and Jamar Taylor, both true freshman, accounted for 6 of the 8 rushing TD in the opening four games. Ford also has a receiving TD, meaning the rookies have accounted for 7 of USF's 17 offensive TDs (41.1) this year
Matt Grothe has the highest winning percentage of any regular starting quarterback in USF history at 76.4. He has led USF to wins in 13 of 17 career games and has surpassed previous record holder Marquel Blackwell, who was 30-12 as starter for a percentage of 71.4.
T-Mac & D-Mac
Junior LB Tyrone McKenzie led Iowa State in tackles last season and transferred to USF after the 2006 season. He was able to play immediately thanks to a NCAA hardship waiver.
McKenzie was on the USF campus to start the spring semester in January.
And in early February his former head coach at Iowa State, Dan McCarney, arrived in Tampa and took the position as the Assistant Head Coach and Defensive Line Coach.
The two have teamed up on defense and produced immediate results. USF held Elon to 13 points and just 33 yards rushing. McKenzie, who led Iowa State with 129 tackles in 2006 and was 10th nationally, is leading USF with 46 tackles this season.
McCarney's defensive line has accounted for 15 of USF's 16 sacks this season. USF is 15th nationally with an average of 3.2 sacks per game.
Individual NCAA Stats
George Selvie leads the country in sacks (10.5) ... His closest competition is Indiana's Greg Middleton, who has 8.5 ... Selvie also leads the country in tackles for loss (17.5) ... His closest competition is Michigan's Shawn Crable, who has 16 in six games ... Ben Moffitt and Nate Allen are both tied for 17th with 3 INTs ... Delbert Alvarado is 26th nationally in punting (43.3) ... Jerome Murphy is 19th in kick return average at 28.8.
Making Plays
USF's defense is led by a bunch of playmakers, which are producing turnovers at a record pace ... The USF record for forced turnovers is 35 set in 2002 .... USF has already forced 18 in five games and is on pace for 43 this season ... The Bull "D" ranks sixth nationally in turnovers, 18th in fumbles recovered (7) and fifth in interception (11) ... Nate Allen and Ben Moffitt both already have three interceptions, CB Trae Williams has a pair of picks ... Moffitt, a four-year starter, did not have any picks prior to this season ... Allen also has two fumble recoveries and has a pick in three of four games ... The defensive line has accounted for 15 of the team's 16 sacks and 31 of the 51 tackles for loss ... USF is fourth nationally in TFL with an average of 10.2 per game.
Secondary to None
USF's secondary has proven early that it may be one of the best in America ... Currently, USF is ranked No. 30 in pass defense at 194 yards per game, but that does not tell the whole story ... The secondary has seven interceptions, four fumble recoveries and three forced fumbles ... Prior to West Virginia, the Bulls had only allowed 250 passing yards combined to Auburn and North Carolina ... Carolina was averaging 300-plus yards passing before USF held them to 85 and intercepted four passes on Sept. 22 ... Sophomore FS Nate Allen has three INT, while Trae Williams has two and Mike Jenkins ... SS Carlton Williams has 3.5 TFL, one sack and 30 tackles this season ... The secondary as a whole already has 25 pass breakups, led by Trae Williams with seven and Jenkins with eight.
Trae & J
Seniors Trae Williams and Mike Jenkins are one of the most experienced CB combos in college football, the two combined for 68 career starts over their careers ... Combined they have 15 pass breakups and three INT this season ... Their lock-down cover abilities allow USF to funnel all of the offensive action to the middle of the field ... Both posted impressive numbers in the season opener ... Williams had five tackles, one for a loss and a pass breakup ... While Mike Jenkins had two pass breakups ... Jenkins followed that performance up with an interception late in the fourth quarter against Auburn that he nearly took in for a TD before stepping out of bounds at the three ... Trae Williams has two picks this season and nine over the last two years ... Recently, Mel Kiper of ESPN.com listed Mike Jenkins as the best senior CB prospect for the 2008 NFL Draft and the 10th best senior prospect on his "Big Board" ... Kiper has predicted that Trae Williams would be a second round selection ... Last season the two also teamed up for eight interceptions, seven of which belonged to Williams, tying a single season school record (with J.R. Reed) ... Williams' seven picks also led the BIG EAST ... The duo has been sited as the best in the BIG EAST and the state of Florida by several outlets, including ESPN.com expert Mark Schlabach.
Ticket Update
The USF & UCF game is officially sold out as of Tuesday morning ... USF distributed 8,000 student tickets on Sunday night and an addition 3,500 between the regional campuses and the main campus on Monday and Tuesday ... 1,000 FREE student tickets remain for UCF and will be distributed at Sun Dome Box Office ...

20,000 Season Tickets Sold
A national ranking, two wins (at the time) and now another plateau in season tickets. The USF ticket office announced on Tuesday, Sept. 18 that it had surpassed 20,000 season tickets. At the end of the business day on Tuesday, USF's season ticket total was up to 20,085. The record season ticket number of 20,619 was set in the inaugural season of 1997.
Sophomores Starring
USF returned 16 starters this season and has quickly risen to national recognition despite being essentially a young team. The Bulls are receiving award worthy play from their sophomore class. At the top of that list are second year stars Matt Grothe, George Selvie and Nate Allen.
Selvie's leading the country in sacks (10.5) and tackles for loss (17.5) in five games this season. He was named Walter Camp National Player of the Week (9/23) for his 3 sacks and 5 TFLs against North Carolina. He also received a "helmet sticker" on ESPN's College Gameday Final the night of the game.
Grothe's numbers and recognition as the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year speak for the themselves. He has a 120.8 passer rating, five TD passes, 246 yards rushing and two TDs on the ground.
Nate Allen is putting himself all over the stat sheet with 3 INT, 35 tackles, 1 forced fumble, 2 fumble recoveries and 1 tackle for loss. Allen was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week (9/10) and Nagurski National Player of the Week (9/11) after playing a part in three turnovers against Auburn.
USF has 15 underclassmen among its current projected starters on offense and defense.
Poll Position
In just its seventh season as a full-time member of the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, the University of South Florida football team made its first appearance in the USA Today Coaches Top 25 Poll and the AP Top 25 Poll on Sept. 16. The Bulls debuted at No. 23 in the AP Poll and No. 24 in the Coaches Poll on Sept. 16. They were a consensus No. 5 pick just 21 days later on Oct. 7.
Below are some notes:
USF was ranked for the first time exactly 10 years and 10 days after its inaugural game against Kentucky Weslyan in 1997.
USF rose at an unprecedented pace, earning an AP ranking 104 polls after becoming a full-time, bowl eligible FBS member in 2001.
Boise State had the previous record, getting ranked after 115 AP polls during their seventh season.
USF became the fastest team in the modern era of college football to go from upstart NCAA FBS school to a top-10 ranking. There was106 AP polls and 112 Coaches Polls since USF became a full-time FBS member in 2001.
The same can be said about the top-5 ranking, which took USF 107 weeks to achieve.
Student Allotment Increases
After a turnout that exceeded the allotted number of seats for season opener against Elon, the University of South Florida athletics department has dramatically increased the number of tickets available to students for the remainder of the 2007 football season.
USF will now make 12,501 seats available to the student population. The USF ticket office allotted 8,000 for the Elon game and a student attendance numbered of 8,600.
"Our students support and interest is off the charts and that is why we made the decision to allocate 12,000 seats for students for the rest of the season," said Senior Associate Athletics Director Bill McGillis. "We had 8,600 for the opener and there is no question those numbers will grow. Student attendance is critical because they bring a level of energy, spirit and tradition that is unrivaled. Our intent is to have the largest student section in the BIG EAST and we will."
USF is the largest school in terms of enrollment, which tops out at over 44,000, in the BIG EAST and has the largest student section.
Monitoring Matt
Matt Grothe made quite a name for himself last year en route to BIG EAST Conference Freshman of the Year honors ... He set a career high with 122 rushing yards against FAU ... It was just third time a USF quarterback has rushed for 100 yards ... Threw for 135 yards, including a 55-yard TD connection with Carlton Mitchell against West Virginia ... He had a streak of 136 passes without an interception snapped against the Mountaineers ... Grothe racked up 216 yards passing, the second highest single half total of his career, against UNC ... He built upon his legacy as a gamer by leading USF to a come-from-behind overtime win over Auburn ...

For his efforts last year Grothe has been named to the Manning and Maxwell Award watch lists.
Moffitt Anchors Defense

He is ranked as the fifth best senior inside linebacker prospect for the NFL Draft ... The senior was named Camp & Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Year and BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week after picking off two passes, including one for a TD, against West Virginia ... Moffitt also nine tackles, including two for a loss and a pass breakup vs. WVU ... He followed that effort with 11 tackles, seven solo, three TFL, two pass breakups, one third-down stop and one fourth-down stop in the Bulls win over Florida Atlantic (Oct. 6) ... The senior currently has 43 tackles, eight tackles for loss, three interceptions and four pass breakups for one of the best defenses in the land ... He had He collected a TFL and his first career interception, followed by a 41 yard return against UNC ... He began the 2007 campaign with 10 tackles, eight assisted, one tackle for loss and one pass breakup against Elon ... During the 2006 campaign, Moffitt teamed up with Stephen Nicholas now with the NFL's Atlanta Falcons and Patrick St. Louis, who is one of the Bulls' strength and conditioning coaches ... Last year Moffitt led the team in tackles with 112 and was third in tackles for a loss with 11 including four sacks ... During the summer Moffitt was named to the Bronko Nagurski Award and Butkus watch lists.
Built Ford Tough
True-freshman Mike Ford is third on the USF team in rushing yards with 212 (53.0 per game) and scoring (five TD, four rushing) ... He did not play against FAU ... Ford ran for 42 yards, including 35 on his opening carry, against West Virginia ... Had just 13 yards rushing against UNC, but broke the scoring open with a five yard TD run in the first quarter ... The Sarasota native ran for 74 yards, including 59 in the first half, and 1 TD at Auburn ... He set USF freshman debut record with 3 TDs, two rushing and one receiving against Elon ... The debut record, regardless of class, for TD in a USF debut was four by Jermaine Clemons in USF's inaugural game (9-6-97) ... Ford had runs of 21 and 48 yards, which accounted for a large chunk of his 83 yards on six carries ... After the game when Ford was asked about breaking two tackles on his 48-yard run, he just said that his style was, "Ford Tough" ... ESPN college basketball commentator Dick Vitale, who lives in Sarasota, put himself among the Ford backers after watching him as a high schooler and hearing about his production in the USF opener ... No USF freshman has ever run for 100 yards in their debut.
September Numbers

This September was the first time in program history that USF has won four games in the opening month and the second time it has gone undefeated ... The Bulls were 3-0 in September of 1998 ... The Bulls have won three games in the in the opening month of the two prior seasons ... In 2005 USF went 3-1 with the lone loss coming to Penn State in the opener ...

Denson Closes the Books
WR Courtney Denson has already earned a BA in communications from USF. What makes his graduation even more impressive is that he transferred from Auburn, but didn't allow the change of scenery to slow his academic pursuits. He is currently pursuing a second major in Africana Studies.
USF Honors Dorsey & Camon
The 2007 USF Bulls have two stickers, bearing the initials "JC" and "KD," for former Bulls defensive back Javan Camon, who died after a collision in an indoor football game in February, and Keeley Dorsey, the freshman running back who collapsed and died during a team conditioning workout in January.
USF also observed a moment of silence in honor of Dorsey, Camon and late Sun Dolls coach Caroline Wiren, who died in May due to complications from labor, prior to the Elon game.
Time to Stand Out
For redshirt-freshman Carlton Mitchell, it is time to make his own name in a circle of family and friends that is full of standouts.
Mitchell's mother, Angela, is the cut "man" for professional boxer Antonio Tarver. The cut man position is a male dominated occupation and Angela is considered a pioneer in the sport of boxing.
Tarver and Carlton have been close friends since the Bull wide receiver was 12. He is also close friends with Tarver's son, Antonio Jr.. Antonio Jr. is a freshman point guard at Daytona Beach Community College.
Carlton's father, Carl, is 6 feet 8 and played pro basketball in Europe for 12 years. His half-brother, Carl Jr., is 6-10 and playing professionally in the Domincan Replublic.
In his first collegiate season, Mitchell has 9 receptions for 108 yards. He made Sportscenter's "Top-10 Plays" on the night of the West Virginia game (Sept. 28) after his 55-yard catch and score against the Mountaineers. Mitchell tip-toed the sideline after catching the ball on a crossing route before easily scoring. It was his first career TD.
Is That The Wing Tee?
USF unveiled a new formation in its win over Elon that reminds many of the famed Wing Tee. The Bulls lined up three running backs and stocked the line with two tight ends. Senior RB Ben Williams was flanked by Jamar Taylor and Mike Ford in the setup. USF used the formation twice against the Phoenix. USF has used the formation a number of times this season.
Tolley Back With Team
After saying in camp that he was going to call it career, sophomore OT Danny Tolley has decided to return to the team. Tolley has battled a severe groin injury and a great deal of pain that accompanied the injury. Tolley played in 11 games in 2006. On the subject, Coach Leavitt has said, "He is showing great courage."

Arc of Haywood celebrates accomplishments during annual meeting
The Arc of Haywood County celebrated a year of opportunities, accomplishments and partnerships at their annual awards meeting Tuesday, Sept. 24. The celebration, attended by more than 100 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, families, friends, staff and community partners, provides the Arc an opportunity to acknowledge the people who support and advocate for individuals with disabilities in our community.
"This annual event provides us an opportunity to get everyone together to celebrate all of the good things that have happened over the year and thank others in the community for their continued support," said Denise Coleman, executive director.
This year, Arc board treasurer John Gatens gave a special PowerPoint presentation outlining the challenges that lie ahead for The Arc and the plans to address these challenges. Gatens shared Arc financial data as well as statistics relating to the impact of the current North Carolina economy related to the nonprofit sector.
The award for Community Partner of the Year went to the two Knights of Columbus Councils in Haywood County, The Father Michael W. Murphy Council at St. Margaret's Catholic Church in Maggie Valley and Father Bernard McDevitt Council at St. John's Evangelical Church in Waynesville. Both councils give generously throughout the year to both The Arc of Haywood and Special Olympics. The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic charitable society that promotes charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism. The donations are proceeds from the L.A.M.B. drive where the Knights hand out tootsie rolls in several area locations over the course of the year. The L.A.M.B. drive, which raises funds specifically for agencies that provide services and programs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, stands for the "Least Among My Brothers."
Also awarded during the evening were 23 small grants to Haywood County special education teachers and speech language pathologists. The grants, which totaled $7,360, were made possible by the United Way of Haywood County. Each year a portion of the United Way funding awarded to the Arc is set aside to provide school personnel with funding to implement innovative opportunities for special needs students in the preschools, elementary and high schools throughout Haywood County.
Joan Ferrara, exceptional children director for Haywood County Schools, expressed her sincere appreciation to the Arc and the United Way for their continued commitment to students with special needs.
"In these times of extreme budget cuts, the level of commitment that The Arc continues to show to the students and staff of Haywood County Schools through this year's award of 23 grants to fund special projects for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities is awe inspiring," she said. "The support that our exceptional children staff feel from the Arc Board boosts morale and provides exciting new learning opportunities for our students with the most significant needs. We are so honored by the Arc's generosity."
The highlight of the evening was the presentation of awards to each of the 30 individuals who live in Arc group homes or are supported in the community living program. Awards recognized their accomplishments and were individualized to reflect the special interests of each person.
Music for the evening was presented by The Arc Apartment Living program.

The father of Australian tennis player Bernard Tomic said on Monday he was acting in self-defence when he headbutted his son's training partner and broke his nose in the Spanish capital.
John Tomic denied a charge of assault against Thomas Drouet in a Saturday afternoon brawl outside a hotel where players in the Madrid Masters were staying, his lawyer Carmen Dieguez told journalists at a Madrid court.
The court set a May 14 hearing for a judge to decide his guilt or innocence.
"I don't feel guilty. I did not do anything wrong," John Tomic told reporters of the fight, which has sparked consternation in the tennis world.
Drouet, who is from Monaco, appeared at the court house with a neck brace and white plaster over his nose.
John Tomic struck his son's training partner with his head only because his own arms were being held by Drouet and he had to protect himself from falling over, his lawyer said.
"There was some pushing and he acted in legitimate self-defence," Dieguez said.
Tomic opted for a court hearing rather than paying a fine, she told reporters, while Drouet earlier claimed he had been "treated like a dog" by the coach.
Bernard Tomic's father, who is also his coach, was arrested several hours after the fight in the central avenue Paseo de la Castellana and was jailed for a period before being released, police said earlier.
The player has made a poor start to this year's European clay court season and lost in straight sets to Czech veteran Radek Stepanek in the first round of the Madrid Masters.
In a statement, Tennis Australia said the allegations were "very concerning".
"We are working closely with ATP officials who are investigating the incident and are unable to comment further until the full facts are known," it said.
In France, L'Equipe newspaper said Drouet sustained a broken nose, stitches to a cut above his eye and bruising to the back of his neck.
L'Equipe quoted Bernard Tomic as saying that he had been with his physical trainer at the time of the incident and had seen or heard nothing.
"It's a very odd situation," he was quoted as saying by the paper. "I wanted to talk to Thomas, but he was in hospital. I haven't seen my father since then."
Drouet told NewsLtd the incident followed months of mistreatment by John Tomic.
He also claimed he saw Tomic Sr punch Bernard in the mouth during a practice session last Tuesday, leaving the player in tears.
Drouet said Tomic Sr demanded he buy him a carton of milk as they were waiting to go to the airport.
He said he replied that he didn't have time before being abused, sacked and ultimately attacked by John Tomic.
"He spat in my face, then walked away, and said he wouldn't pay me any more," Drouet told NewsLtd before the hearing.
"I said, 'OK, John, you are a real man. That's fine. Bernard will pay me'.
"And he headbutted me.
"Every day he treat me like a dog for six months, with disrespect and then this. But he need to be off the ATP (tour)."
Bernard Tomic last year created more headlines off the court than on it, including run-ins with police in his sports car and claims he was not trying hard enough.
The 20-year-old recently was recalled to Australia's Davis Cup team after captain Patrick Rafter disciplined him for a lack of professionalism following admissions that he gave less than full effort in matches at New York and Shanghai last year.
Tomic won both his singles matches and clinched victory for Australia in their Davis Cup Asia-Oceania Group One second-round tie against Uzbekistan last month.

From Writer to Realtor

In a roundtable discussion with Marie-Helene Westgate, they discuss what it's like to leave a city that, as Westgate puts it, "is a human entity unto itself: one capable of offering earth-shattering sex, endlessly stimulating conversation, and eventual transcendence, too."
Hear their takes on questions like: "Is there a sense that leaving New York…constitutes a failure of character?" and more—and be sure to check out our two excerpted chapters from the book, one by Elisa Albert and one by Melissa Febos, right here on the Rumpus....more

Date of Stay: August, 2009
Our family had the pleasure to stay at this park on our way home from vacation. It is very family oriented. At the time we stayed at the park it was really very hot but we were able to cool off in the pool. We didn't get to do any sight seeing because of time restraints but would love to come back maybe when it is cooler. The facilities were very clean, and we would recommend for family stopovers.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
Last week, we had the pleasure of camping at the Deep Creek Tube Center & Campground with our 2 teenage sons. They had a blast tubing down Deep Creek all day long, and we didn't have a worry because it is very safe. There were people of all ages in the creek. We were able to have time to relax. At night, we participated in the campwide volleyball games. All were invited and my guys were amazed at their Mom's ability to spike the ball. The kids had a great time and can't wait to come back next year (we already made reservations). We enjoyed the hand dipped ice cream from the General Store as well as the necessities and souvenirs which seemed reasonably priced. We were amazed at the surrounding mountains and how quickly they changed with every minute. This was our first visit to North Carolina and hopefully won't be our last. The management was very accommodating to our needs and were very helpful. I was certainly ready for the 10:00pm noise curfew which was strictly enforced. In these hard times, we had our most economical vacation but with the greatest rewards. Thank you, Deep Creek Campground,for a wonderful vacation. We'll be back soon.

Before WikiLeaks Arab Media Documented Civilian Deaths
The WikiLeaks documents, 90,000 in total, do much to validate Arab media, and taken together, the two provide a powerful account of U.S. involvement in civilian deaths spanning two wars.
While the WikiLeaks materials are based on military records, Arab media reports depend on eyewitness accounts and powerful video images, showing scores of victims including women and children.
For example, the Dubai-based television station Al Arabiya, which aired Obama's first interview after he was sworn in, aired a report on May 19, 2004 depicting the aftermath of a U.S. military aircraft attack on an Iraqi wedding party near the Syria-Iraq border that killed dozens of civilians.
The helicopter attack in Makr-al Deeb village stirred controversy in the Arab world, and Arab media treated it as the "My Lai massacre" of the U.S. occupation of Iraq.
At the time, the U.S. government insisted that the missile strikes in the remote desert village, which Iraqis say led to the death of more than 40 civilians, were based on intelligence, indicating the presence of foreign fighters that had fired at U.S. aircrafts.
But Al Arabiya's investigative report, titled "Wedding of Blood," based on interviews with Afghani villagers, tells a different story of the May 19 incident.
Al Arabiya interviewed the groom, who lost 26 members of his family in the attack. "(I have) nothing left to live for. I can no longer see my brothers, sisters, mother, and nephews," he told Al Arabiya.
Survivors described in horrific detail the actions of U.S. soldiers once they arrived on the scene after the initial air strike.
One man told Al Arabiya: "We were sleeping in the garden outside and some were sleeping inside the house. Then, we started walking to leave, but whenever the (Americans) saw anyone moving, they hit him."
The Al Arabiya reporter then asked, "How did they hit him?"
The man answered, "They opened fire at him until they finished him."
It was unclear whether the man was referring to air-to-ground attacks or ground fire.
"Wedding of Blood" was also broadcast on several other Arab TV networks, including Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, Al Manar in Lebanon and Al Alam in Iran.
Al Jazeera English reported another incident involving civilian casualties, involving a joint Afghan-NATO raid on the village of Haiderabad in Ghazni Province of Afghanistan on Nov. 20, 2009. The soldiers opened fire on an Afghan family while they were sleeping and let their dogs bite women and children.
In many cases, Arab media used testimony by American soldiers themselves to validate their reports about U.S. responsibility for civilian casualties. For example, Al Jazeera English reported on March 15, 2008 that hundreds of U.S. veterans of the war in Iraq say the American military has been covering up widespread civilian killings in Iraq. The soldiers who testified said that there have been routine cover-ups of indiscriminate killings of Iraqi civilians.
Former U.S. Marine Jason Washburn, for example, told Al Jazeera English: "We would carry these weapons and shovels so in case we accidentally shot a civilian we would toss the weapon on the body and we would say that he was an insurgent."
U.S. Army veteran Jason Hurd said, "We would fire indiscriminately and unnecessarily at this building. We never got a body count and we never got a casualty count afterward." He added, "These things happen every day in Iraq."
The veterans also showed videos supporting their claims. The testimony of the U.S. veterans also highlights the mental state of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan that may have led to acts of violence against civilians.
Al Jazeera English journalist Omar Chatriwala wrote in a blog ("WikiLeaks vs. the Pentagon") that the WikiLeaks documents are supported by reports from the ground by Al Jazeera English.
Some Arab media have raised questions about the political consequences of the leaked military records. Al Sharq Al Awsat raised questions about the negative impact on U.S. allies in the war against Al Qaeda.
London-based Arab newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported that Afghan and Pakastani informants who have worked with American intelligence agents or the military against the Taliban or al-Qaeda may be at risk following the disclosure of the secret WikiLeaks documents.
With the release of the WikiLeaks documents, Arab media may finally feel vindicated, as Western media finally start to give greater prominence to civilian casualties.
Posted Jul 28 2010
The US military has a long and ugly history of targetting civilians in places as diverse as Japan, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. The Wikileaks reports vindicate what the Arab media has been correctly reporting all along. Clearly, civilian deaths overseas are not a taboo subject for the Arab media, even if they are taboo for the corporate US media.
Posted Aug 2 2010
the Al Qaeda and the Taliban are partly the American Intelligence Agency, America must wake up there is lots happening right now in stealth.

|st: Obtaining save date of data file
|Fri, 13 Dec 2002 18:13:56 -0500
Is there a way to programmatically obtain the date that a file was last saved and store that information in a macro? I need to compare two files and make sure that file B is newer than file A. I would like to obtain the information displayed in describe and store that in a macro. It is not one of the listed returns. The only solution I have been able to come up with involves creating a log file, running a describe statement on the dataset, closing the log file, reading the log file using the file command, going to the appropriate row and column of the file, and taking a substring to put the date into memory. There's got to be a better way! * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

This extraordinary engraving depicts a view of the north shore of the Thames running from Western Stone Wharf by the Houses of Parliament to St Katharine's Docks just east of Tower Bridge: a distance of some ten miles. The illustration was published as four supplements to the Pictorial Weekly. When readers joined the four parts together, the completed illustration extended to 14 feet in width!The accompanying text is a hymn to Britain's imperial strength, and to the role played by the Thames in fostering that strength:
The fatal Niger, the mighty Amerzon, the turpid Mississippi, the picturesque and historic Rhine, the rushing Danube, and the classic Tiber, have each their scenes, their stories, and associations; but commend us the river, whose bosom bears the ships of all nations, freighted with richest and rarest products of the earth – whose warehouses hold in plenteous abundance the harvest of all climes, and whose commerce is told in every language man can speak.

Cheap, Sustainable, Delicious: A Colorful Carrot and Beet Entree
The last few years have seen a new niche in restaurant fare: vegetables as the main event. Ten years ago, no chef in his right mind would dream of substituting a regular-old veggie for a piece of meat in an entree. And, what kind of customer would pay main-course prices for what was usually a side dish?
But these days, what with all the eat mostly vegetables mantra and that whole Meatless Monday thing, there is a real demand for all things from the garden. The trick is to make these, well, garden-variety veggies hearty enough to be satisfying. There are a couple of chefs who are leading the charge and doing a fine job.
Richard Landau and Kate Jacoby are two of them. Their Philadelphia shrine to vegetables is so satisfying that it tricked this carnivore into believing that he could go without animal protein for a whole day. The chefs at Vedge roast, toast, spice, and slice their produce into sophisticated plates of vegetarian delights, and you'd never miss the meat.
More: Cheap, Sustainable, Delicious: Ratatouille Pizza
Here we are in the thick of vegetable season, and I'm taking a cue from the folks at Vedge. This week I'll take two run-of-the-mill vegetables, carrots and beets, and treat them with serious care. I'll make them shine.
Carrots and Beets as an Entree
Serves 4
- 4 medium beets with greens
- Fine sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds carrots with greens
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted salted almonds
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Trim beets from greens, reserving greens. Place beets on a sheet of aluminum foil and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Wrap foil up around beets and place packet in oven. Trim carrots from greens, reserving greens. Peel carrots and place in a heat-proof skillet. Toss carrots with 2 tablespoons oil, paprika, cumin, coriander, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place skillet in oven with beets. Roast vegetables until tender, about 45 minutes. Remove vegetables from oven and let cool. Slip skins from beets and thinly slice beets using an adjustable blade slicer. Cut carrots diagonally into 2-inch pieces.
Slice beet stems crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces, reserving leaves.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat until hot, then sauté shallot until golden, about 6 minutes. Stir in beet stems and cook until stems are tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Mince and mash garlic clove with 1/4 teaspoon salt until it is a paste. Whisk garlic together with lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Thinly slice beet greens into ribbons and pick 1/2 cup carrot leaves. Toss greens and leaves with dressing.
Place one layer of sliced beets on each of the 4 places. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place a mound of carrots in the middle of each plate, then scatter beet stems over and around the carrots. Place a handful of the shredded beet green salad on top of each plate and sprinkle with blue cheese and almonds.

Bauer Media to move radio stations to One Golden Square
By Staff
25th March 2014
Bauer Media is to move several of its radio stations from Mappin House in London to One Golden Square.
Absolute Radio has broadcast from One Golden Square since its inception as Virgin Radio in 1993. Following the station's purchase by Bauer Media last year, the company will now create studios for Magic 105.4, Kiss, Planet Rock, Kerrang! Radio and heat radio in the same building.
