(AP) — Hope dimmed late Saturday for John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife and sister-in-law, as darkness descended on the waters off Martha's Vineyard where their plane went down. Debris washed ashore, but there was no sign of life. "I can tell you miraculous stories of people surviving," said Rear Admiral Richard M. Larrabee, first Coast Guard district commander, at a late afternoon news conference. "I can tell you in previous cases like this, we've searched as many as three or four days. We're not ready to give up on this yet." But the daylong search by planes, helicopters and boats yielded little but some fragments of Kennedy's red-and-white plane, a piece of baggage labeled with the business card of Lauren Bessette, sister of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and a prescription bottle belonging to Bessette Kennedy. State police said the visual aerial search was suspended for the night, but an Air National Guard helicopter with infrared sensors would continue searching in the dark.

The former astronaut, who now lives in New Braunfels with his wife Dotty, was sitting in Mission Control on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong took the First step on the moon. Tuesday will mark the 30th anniversary of the "one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind." Armstrong personally asked Duke, who served as capsule communicator for the lunar module landing, to help with the mission. DUKE As he sat in Mission Control in Houston watching the crew land the Eagle on the moon, he held his breath. "Tensions were high," he said. "We all wanted a safe landing." Duke w rote about the close call in the Apollo 11 mission in his book, "Moonwalker." "I began to get anxious," he wrote. "The maneuvering was using up a lot of fuel, and the fuel state was becoming critical. They had to land quickly or we would reach an abort point in the mission." Duke remembered taking a deep breath as he heard, "Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed " Because of the Apollo 11 mission, technology for taking man to space and returning him safely was revolutionized. Duke said he agreed with Armstrong that the Apollo 11 mission was a "giant leap for mankind." "We all benefited from that trip," Duke said. "It helped create new industries and economic growth. It also provided a stimulation of the human spirit." Today's space exploration has matured since the early days of man orbiting the moon, still unsure of the large solid rock floating around Earth.

Attorney Jack Paul Leon, whose client's trial is scheduled to begin July 26, has filed a motion for a change of venue. Two Canyon Middle School students have been accused of shooting a high-powered rifle at the homes of two CMS teachers on April 20. A jury trial has not yet been set for the other boy, who also is 14. Both juveniles waived their right to a detention hearing Friday. The teen-agers have been in custody at area juvenile detention centers since April 21 when they were taken into custody by New Braunfels Police Department officers. A pre-trial hearing on Leon's request for a change of venue is scheduled 9 a.m. Thursday in Comal County District Court. Leon declined to comment on his request. "We need to respect the confidentiality of the juveniles," he said. Comal County assistant district attorney Melissa Smith said strict confidentiality rules in the family code prevented attorneys from discussing details of the juveniles' cases. Smith said she believed Comal County was the most appropriate place for the trial. "I don't think there's been a heavy amount of publicity where it would cause an unfair trial," she said. Smith also said die trial would be open to the public unless the attorney filed a motion for it to be closed. In previous detention hearings, requests by the juveniles' attorneys to close the proceedings have been granted. "The attorney hasn't filed a motion yet, but ever)' other hearing has been closed, so I would assume the trial would be closed," she said. The pair also face charges on two counts of criminal mischief for defacing property at the teachers' homes, shooting five plate glass w indows at the New Braunfels High School library and defacing property at OakRun school on April 20. The boys also face one count of unlaw ful See TRIAL/10A County, CISD leaders discuss solutions to traffic problem at Smithson Valley High HEATHER TOOO/Herald-Zeitung TxDOT engineer John Kelly presents a plan to reduce traffic problems at Smithson Valley High. By Heather Todd Staff Writer SMITHSON VALLEY — The dream of a traffic signal at Texas 46 and Farm-to-Market Road 3159 will not become reality, but local school district and county officials tentatively agreed on Friday to do the next best thing. Comal Independent School District and Comal County officials met with Texas Department of Transportation engineers to discuss ways to reduce traffic congestion near Smithson Valley High School. TxDOT district engineer John Kelly outlined a plan that would divide traffic to the high school between the school's main entrance oft' Texas 46 and a side entrance on Smithson Valley Road (FM 3159, just south of 46). The plan was presented as an alter native to a request by CISD and county officials to put in a traffic signal at FM 3159 and Texas 46. This past year, local officials asked TxDOT to consider a signal at the intersection to control high speed traffic near the school. TxDOT resident engineer Greg Maiatek said the location did not qualify1 for a traffic signal based on theSee TRAFFIC/10A > ) ;

What's Groundhog Day Have to Do with Branding?
Groundhog Day and branding have a surprising connection that you may not realize.
Allow me to Phil you in.
First, a brand that consistently sticks to its value system is not only a brand to be admired – but one that should be mimicked, too.
For example, take a certain furry marmot that gets pulled out of a top hat by the scruff of his neck every February 2. Remarkably, news teams from around the globe rush to rural western Pennsylvania to see whether the sleepy groundhog's shadow predicts six more weeks of winter, or an early spring.
It seems absurd, doesn't it? Yet Groundhog Day is all about branding just like Enzo Creative (http://www.enzocreative.com)
Many of the festivities that surround Groundhog Day have all the earmarks of a successful brand. Let's begin with Phil himself. He's remarkably consistent and predictable. In fact, for over 120 years the world has stopped to witness Phil's weather prognostications. That's a level of consistency that every business should strive to match whether they've been around for 120 years or 120 days. And his predictability reflects the kind of interaction you want your customers to experience with your brand. It should deliver on your brand promise every time your customer comes into contact with it.
At this point you might say to yourself: I think Lou is losing his mind!
But I digress. (To borrow a phrase from another burrowing branding genius, Bugs Bunny.)
Phil's remarkable success has led many bucktoothed wannabes to try and imitate the innovative rodent; but they're no more successful fooling the public than storefront Santa's shaking their plaintive bells during the holidays. In other words, they (like Staten Island Chuck) are no match for the real deal. Only Phil has earned the cachet that comes with being first out of the gate, or in his case, first out of the hole.
Why? It's all due to great branding.
Heck, Phil even has his own "brand ambassadors"
Like many successful businesses, Punxsutawney Phil's brand has adapted over time and those subtle changes have led to new opportunities. When Hollywood made a movie starring Phil and his supporters it catapulted his beloved Punxsutawney to unprecedented popularity; which is remarkable in itself considering the name is derived from a Native American term which translates to "town of the sandflies" (or, "town of the mosquitoes"). The media savvy Phil is even socially connected and will send you a text message on his special day.
All of these things have helped to keep Phil's brand relevant and top of mind for generations. In fact, Enzo Creative can do the same for you via stellar graphic design services and creative website designs that work across all mobile and web platforms. (We cast quite a long shadow of our own!)
So I leave you with this thought: This Saturday, when Groundhog Day arrives, write yourself a memo and use Phil's annual appearance as an inspiration to build a better brand for your business. Be consistent. Be unique. Recruit brand ambassadors. Take advantage of opportunity. Stay true to your brand. And let's hope for an early spring!

Was that a "donk"call or not?
Hi everybody,
I was called a "donk" again for calling a raise since i'm a beginner pls.analize this hand and give me your final verdict(donk or not).
I was playing the Italian free roll on Full Tilt the blinds were 50/100.
Had a decent stack around 4k and was on the SB with j10s.
We were preflop and the second guy (3k stack)after BB put a 3BB raise everybody folds and I call it.
Flop comes 89A rainbow.
I check he checks.
Turn 7.
I check again he moves all in.
Of course I call.
He had pocket 9's and the river didn't helped him so I won the hand kicking him out of the tournament.The guy was sitting at the table for more then 30 min calling me names and other..
What do you think my mistake was (if I made one) and how would you play different the hand including the original preflop raise.
probably mad at your preflop call. J10s isn't a great hand and is easily dominated and usually a preflop raise from early position means big cards so it would be an easy fold. But who cares what he says, you played it for only 2.5 more bbs and he didn't c-bet like he shouldve(then again you'd probably still want to call)
i dont know it's your chips do what you want
He calls you a donk but yet, he checks on flop, not realizing that it's a very semi-coordinated board? LOL. I love watching idiots who think they're superior to other people and they think they have a right to call other people just because other people's style of playing is variant from theirs. 8 9 A. It's very SEMI-COORDINATED BOARD. Anyone with 10J, like you had, or 67, or 56, or A 9, etc can knock their hand out. His pocket 9s and the board doesn't qualify for giving free card to others. I mean, if he raised all in during flop and you called strictly on OESD(Open-ended straight draw), then yes, that kinda sucks for him and he can bark all he wants. But playing it horribly during the flop, giving you free card, and then calling you a donk? LOL, what a joke. That's not even a bad beat. When you placed all of your money into the pot, you were favorite to win. So it's not a bad beat. You won fair and square. Don't mind a single word about him. Pre-flop call was kinda loose but who cares. You can't fold all day for pocket Aces. 10J is a great hand actually. Suited connectors are where biggest pots are won through than pocket pairs. You take other people's outs away from making their high straight since it's impossible to make a straight without 5 or 10. There's nothing wrong with that play.
The only thing that I question is position. If you were in late position then it would be a reasonable call pre-flop. In the small blind I would be inclined to fold. At a short handed table with 2-4 players it would also be worth a call. He created the problem himself by not betting the flop, probably trying to trap you and not realizing the draw possibilities. He should have made a bet after the flop big enough to make the pot odds unreasonable for you to call. He should have criticized his own play instead of yours. As to his remarks, maybe you should have replied "Thanks for the free card LOL".
Well the position was the main reason he was bitching for more then a half an hour at my table after I've knocked him out.He said that I shouldn't even be at that hand with j10s out of position.
I play connectors even out of position if the bet is not too high.
Is that wrong?
Tubur I wouldn't worry about it the others have answered the points of your play you must also realize a lot of others are just wanting to rattle you so you'll make a misplay and they can try to get your chips or get you out. I would just call him a donkey the next chance you got that he made a questionable play or turn off chat which I used to do when I started it helped me focus more.
re: Poker & Was that a "donk"call or not?
Well from what i see, you played it perfectly. I am supposing that you
already had a fair idea of how that guy plays, and for those reasons you
decided to check on the turn. Some people tend to be very concervative
and dont raise you for checking, but in this case the guy appears to be
an easy trigger and u probably knew that he had to raise you. Very well
played, and its definitly not a donk move. A donk is really a person
who catches out of pure luck, but you catch cause you were looking for
that straight, that was the whole reason you checked, and thats probably
want you wanted to seen preflop either way.
Don't worry about being called a "Donk"; just play your game the best you know how.
I have only been playing poker for less than a year and still learning. At first, it was upsetting to have an angry stranger belittling my play. But through pratice and reading up on how and when to play a hand, my game has improved considerably.
Now when I'm called a "Donk" after knocking someone out or taking a huge stack of their chips. I just say: "LOL, whatever you say. And BTW, thanks for the chips!"
I love J10s so I may be a little bias here, but to me the play seemed legit. He raised to 3x BB but that's not a lot, especially in a freeroll. You have to consider what hand he could have too. If you put him on an overpair than yeah probably shouldnt call. But against AK or something like that then you have a decent shot at the pot. Would have been better if there were more hands in the pot preflop because suited connectors become more profitbale in the long run that way. Regardless, people will play much worse cards in your same position, but to each his own. The check on the flop was bad by him, but I assume he thought you hit the Ace. If he bet the flop you have to call, unless he goes all in you would probably have to fold. But that didn't happen so his loss.
As for the 30 mins of name calling, that's just someone on tilt / immature person. If it bothers you that much you can always turn off the chat so you can't see what anyone else is saying. It's an easy way to rid yourself of annoying distractions.
LOL, don't worry about being called a donk, He was the donk for going all in with a posible straight on the board and for not C Betting, he let you make your hand so I hope you let him know that, for if you did he woulda been on tilt for the next few hours. one thing I like to tell them in that situatuation is, "if I am such a donk why am I still in the tourney and you're on the rail spewing BS by the bucket load".
The Main thing to remember from that is to not let him inside your head, the next hand has started so your mind should be on that, and if he was there for 30 mins as you say you shoulda said I am disabling chat now Bye Bye, and if he is still there after another 2 mins disable your chat.
Well done on the hand.
No way were you a "donk" in that situation. He only raised 3BB preflop, you were on the SB so it would make sense for you to call with alot of hands, especially J 10s!! That is a very intermediate starting hand well worth seeing any flop depending the size of the raises in front on you. would have been a "donk call" had he went all in preflop and you called yes i think so. But no there is no way he can argue that you were indeed a "donk". Actually i think i would call him the donk since he check his friggin trip 9's on the flop. Great play on your part to check raise/call him on the turn.
If i'm not mistaken.. heads up..I've read somwhere... 10Js has the best probability of beating a pockets of 9 and below? Assuming you guys were playing with your cards open, you made a good call. But that's with the benefit of hindsight! You could have been dominated or it could have been worse. Considering you were in healthy shape and all.. pre-flop, you did well.
I agree with the rest that the other guy could have played better tho'.
He's just looking for someone to vent at/blame. So don't worry about it.
not a donk call. you were open ended and had outs. players hate when there trips get crushed like that. plus its a freeroll, you got to know that players just don't fold that much. just move on to the next tournament, its not like you had to pay to get in.
if you ask me, he's the donk, for calling you a donk.
I agree. For 2.5 blinds pre-flop when you have 30blinds why not see the flop. If he had moved all in on the flop and you called he might have a reason to be upset, but after checking and letting you catch your out he has no case.
I wouldnt let comments form other players bother you at all. If fact of you can often put the other guy even further on tilt by being polite when they start calling you names. Just say thank you when they call you a donk (or whatever).
I think it was a well played hand.
BTW. How did you do after that in the tournament?
Anyone who berates someone for a bad play is costing themselves time, money and the respect of most sane players. Just ignore him. If you can use your wit to deflate him, even better. If not, just say something in Italian, disable chat, and calmly go about your business.
I really don't get the table tirades. Even when Phil Hellmuth sits there and berates someone (Honey! He raised with Q10!), he's hurting his game. He's one of the best players in the world, so maybe he can afford it. But a clown who shoved where he did? No way.
If you see him again, you might thank him him for the chips and see if you can tilt him again.
(For the record, I don't gloat, taunt or needle anyone -- unless they're being abusive. Then it's open season.)
I agree to most of the answers here - though I would have probably mucked J10s oop.
To sum it up villian made a ton of mistakes in that hand:
His raise 2,5 BB utg+1 with 99 isn't going to chase away anyone with a decent hand in position.
Slow playing his set on that drawy board is stupid.
Shoving after the potentially completed straight draw is - well - very stupid.
I hope you tagged him and made notes on him - you might see him again...
Since he didn't realize it was his fault he will probably continue playing stupid.
My opinion based on very little information.... I think that you sometimes think of yourself as a donk and therefore are affected by villains comments to you. Also could be the reason for posting this.
That being said,... JTs can be a great hand in certain circumstances but generally speaking, 'calling' from SB is not always the greatest of plays (search out posts on 'playing from SB in MTT').
Villain obviously messed up in this hand,... he doesn't bet when he's way ahead (what does he want the turn card to be?... isn't he already hoping that you're on an Ace here?). Then he goes and gets all his money in when he's way behind and at that point when he is clueless about what type of hand you're even on.
When playing in most tourneys online (actually most of the time playing online period) I really don't see alot of benefit for leaving the chat feature on? (unless of course you remain unaffected by other's chat &/or you're actually able to use it to your advantage). If player chat &/or observer chat is affecting your game....why keep it on?
As far as making comments to the tune of "well you're on the rail & I've got your chips".. "who's sitting on the rail and who's still playing".. "Bye bye.. thanks for the chips". I think comments like these are totally immature and just plain dumb.
Recently I've been approaching the game with my chat turned off and would have to say it's been much better for me. I'm not interested in hearing what they have to say... it is never anything constructive and to get into a battle of egos &/or wits is just plain stupid. Hey... if they want to get their money in as a 20to1 dog on the turn and suckout on me.... great. It's probably one of the best ways they're going to win anyways. If I get my money in good.... who cares.
Chat use is way over-rated imo. Mostly noobs using it as far as I'm concerned. I used to be one of them... the 'chat users'. Couldn't see what benefit it brought me... unless perhaps to tilt someone on a cash-table. Even then though.... saying nothing does a great job as well. Let my play & the cards do the talking.
re: Poker & Was that a "donk"call or not?
BTW. How did you do after that in the tournament?[/quote]
Well that was another hand to remember in my book.
I was second with about 75k and the chip leader was sitting at my table with 120k.The guy was bullying a lot raising with every hand.
I was on the button and was dealt a pair of tens his position was second after the BB.The blinds were 500/1000
He smooth calls the BB everybody folds I put a 3k raise SB and BB folds he calls.
A107 rainbow
He checks I raise 5k he calls.
(In my mind ...oh God let him have an A)
He checks again I raise 12k he just calls again.
I was pretty sure in that moment that he has an A.
With no flush probability on the board I felt quite strong.
He checks on the river again I put a 20k raise he re raise 40k and on that moment I've made a HUGE mistake going all in with my hand.
He calls and shows me the monster hand AA.
I've finished 25th and won 2 bucks.
On that board my hand was the third strongest hand and I could of just call his raise and still left with some money in case I loose the hand to continue the game but unfortunately I was greedy and stupid enough to move all in.
I paid the price for that.
Lol no way you're a donk , that happens all the time in poker. He did slowplay his set and thats happens. He called you a donk just because you hit your straight , thats just ridicilious because he gave you the chance to chase it.
Shouldn't we be examining the 99 guy if the issue is going to be preflop play? It seems like whatever criticism he levels at you goes back at himself. According to http://www.cardplayer.com/poker_odds/texas_holdem#
heads up J10s beats 99 of a different suit 49% of the time. He got caught in a coin toss preflop and then acted like it wasn't cause he saw trips? Which is fine, I just don't get the 99 guy steaming.
There is no way in my opinion that it is a donk call. They guy was just pissed, like almost every guy gets and started to whine about it. Its pretty typical of people that play online and obviously have no fear of talking trash because they know the other person cant retaliate in a way they can in real life. Kinda like poking at the monkey in the cage to look cool. But if the monkey was let out it would be a different story. Youre fine.
you had 40BB at the time...calling the raise for an additional 2.5 BB with suited connectors was not bad....not great either but you had enough to take a shot...his mistake was not c-betting the flop for 2/3 the pot..at which point you would have had a hard decision to make.....honestly he was kinda silly making a 3 bet raise with a tier 2 hand ....he should have just limped and saved himself chips....way too many hands available to make the 9's shrivel up...i say good playing on your part
re: Poker & Was that a "donk"call or not?
1) get a cash account and play real poker. when you don't have anything of value too loose you are not playing poker. I.E. your all DONKS.
2) block that players chat so you never have too read his posts again.
3) quit all together, go to church, ask for forgivness, and live hapily ever after.
BONUS: Learn how too play poker by playing heads-up tables until you can win 70% of the time. If you can't beat 1 player most of the time what good are you in a croud? While doing so you will learn that you are playing people, not cards. It doesn't matter what cards you have it only matters what cards you make them think you have. You might even learn how too lable other players properly if in fact you are human and have half a brain.
You played it perfect, 10 J with that stack is a good call, that draw you had on the flop was awesome and nailing the nuts on the turn is why you play connected cards, good thing he didnt fill, but nothing you can do but play your hands and hope they hold on the river.
Guy was mad at himself and took it out on you, you played it perfect, and won, congrats, hope you hit ITM and were able to increase your roll
Rule #7, you always gotta bet the flop when you see a draw out there. He failed to do that when he had a set. You put your chips in to see the flop, but hey it paid off. Not a donk play, dont worry what these people say, they talk because they are mad at themselves.
There are a few things here.
1. I thinks its a marginal call pre-flop as others have stated you might dominated, you are lucky to be in coin flip.
2. He probably checks the flop as he thinks he is good.
3. He must make c-bet post-flop as there is a straight draw on the board, if it were me I would be pushing all-in.
4. He only calls you a donk because you outdrew him, had you not or had he made a Full Boat on the river he would have been glad you called.
5. Being called a donk doesnt always mean you made a donk play it just means you upset someone by beating them in a hand.
The Muppetteer
preflop 99 is a slight favorite over j10s (v slight ) but dont kick yourself ,i personally wouldnt have called pf,but so what !!as for giving you grief from the rail ,get used to it as ther are loads of weak players who think they are phil helmuth and will tell you how bad (in detail ) why your play was so horrible ! even if it wasnt!! you took down the hand !well done ,thats all that matters.
1.I already have cash account and play for real money so probably based on your previous opinion I'm not a DONK which makes me feel very comfortable.
2.Will do it next time thank you(another valuable suggestion).
3.Don't really feel that I need to go to the church and ask for forgiveness because:
Jesus said: I am the light that is over them all. I am the All; the All has come forth from me, and the All has attained unto me. Split a piece of wood and I am there. Raise up the stone, an ye shall find me there.
Gospel of Thomas verse 77.
Me poker Bot no brain just a bad software.
i hate being called a donk; and i do things like this too, i dont like to say i am a beginner, because ive been playing for a little while now. but i just started learning position and all that, so basically i am a beginner, when it comes to skill, and i seem to have very bad luck in online poker also...

File this one under "creative advertising." US Airways last week announced that it plans to sell advertising space on its air-sickness bags in what can only be regarded as the airline's most creative (or desperate, depending on your view) money-making move in some time.
As far as revenue generators go, I find this one more amusing than off-putting. It's certainly not on the level of Northwest's initiative to start charging extra for the "good" coach seats (yes, I know, it's old news but it still gets me riled up).
Look for the "barf bag" ads starting in September.

Chinese newspaper urges police to release reporter
BEIJING — A Chinese newspaper made a rare front-page appeal Wednesday for police to release one of its reporters after he was detained for writing reports alleging financial misdeeds at a large, state-owned construction equipment company.
In an editorial boldly headlined "Please release him," The New Express newspaper said there was no evidence the journalist, Chen Yongzhou, had committed any crime. It said journalists should not be criminally prosecuted for responsibly reporting facts that may embarrass influential companies or individuals.

View the Course Schedule.
You must use goNSU, NSU's online self service system, to register for classes. If you need help using goNSU, see the goNSU student guide (pdf).
You must obtain a registration override from the academic department office offering the class before being allowed to enroll in a closed class. Registration overrides for prerequisites must be obtained from the course instructor or academic department office. After receiving an override, you must use goNSU to register in the course.
You must enroll in short-term classes before they begin. Students are encouraged to enroll in short-term classes at the beginning of the semester but will be allowed to enroll in them up to the day before the first class meeting. The refund period for short-term classes is prorated based on the length of the class. It is recommended that students drop short-term classes before they begin in order to ensure a refund will be given. You can drop the short-term courses using your self service menu via goNSU.
Deadline dates for withdrawals and refunds for each semester are posted on the Academic Calendar available from the Course Schedule page. Refund and withdrawal dates are different for short term classes and full term classes. NSU does not withdraw students for non-payment and does not issue partial refunds. Check the calendar each semester before classes start in order to ensure you are dropping by the pertinent dates.
You may add or drop a class by using the self service menu via goNSU. The approved dates for adding classes are listed in the semester calendar of the class schedule. The student must secure approval of the instructor, department chair and/or college dean, and present it to the Registrar's office in order to add a class after the last day to add has passed.
If you have a hold that is preventing you from dropping a class, contact your academic advisor or the Registrar's Office for assistance. You may also send an email with your NSU ID number and the CRN of the class(es) you want to drop to firstname.lastname@example.com. This process is not for dropping all classes during a semester at NSU. Refer to the Withdrawal page for information on a complete withdrawal.
If you withdraw from single courses or completely from the university before or during the 12th week, you will be assigned a "W" regardless of your progress in the course. If you withdraw after the 12th week, the instructor may assign a "W" or "F" depending on your standing in the course. This applies to all full term courses for a spring or fall semester.
Enrollment verifications may be obtained by sending an email from your NSU email account to email@example.com or by picking one up at the Registrar's Office. A photo ID is required if picking one up in person. If requesting by mail, be sure to include your name, NSU ID number and the semester you need verified on the request. The verification will be mailed to your email address. Students are frequently required to obtain enrollment verifications for governmental or private agencies. Verifications are often required for student loan deferment, especially of transfer students who have received loans at previous institutions. Insurance companies, the Veterans Administration, or other agencies may require proof of enrollment or grade point information for other types of eligibility. Many require verification of full-time or half-time status.
If you are an undergraduate or special student, full-time status is defined as 12 or more credits per semester; half-time status is 6-11 credits per semester.
If you are a graduate student, full-time status is defined as 9 or more credits per semester; half-time status is 5-8 credits per semester.
We cannot count audit registration and enrollment in correspondence courses for certification purposes. To obtain a verification for a loan company, bring your loan deferment form to the Office of the Registrar.
More information about deferments and other exceptions to the definitions of full-time and half-time status is available at the Office of the Registrar.

Moment PB&J Ski
Moment's always been pretty adamant that there's no such thing as a one ski quiver, but year after year they press the PBJ Ski, and year after it year it crushes groomers like a narrower board, destroys powder like a fatty, and rallies the park like a buttery twin tip. Even if Moment isn't trying to make the PBJ one of the most versatile skis on the market, it just kind of keeps happening. Its secret' A nice mustache. There are no lip sweaters here, though, unless you bring your own Moment calls its most versatile rocker profile camber underfoot and rocker in the tip and tail Mustache Rocker, probably because it's totally sexy. The camber provides plenty of bite on hardpack, letting you rally groomers and shred those bulletproof east coast days, and the tip and tail rocker gives the PBJ the float and pivoty feel that every good powder ski needs. Multiple fiberglass laminates and carbon fiber stringers give the PBJ plenty of lateral and tip to tail stiffness, while the poppy, light, and lively aspen and pine core provides a stable, playful platform whether you're ripping groomers, surfing powder, or boosting in the park. The UHMW sidewalls prevent torsional flex, directing loads of power into the rubber dampened 2. 2mm steel edges, and the sintered Durasurf base moves faster than an electrified squirrel. Moment also tossed in a reinforced layer under the foot for bomber binding mounting, because nothing will cramp your style faster than a ripped out heel piece on the best day of the year.

In my year in Vietnam, I walked the booby-trapped rice paddies of the Delta, searching for the elusive Viet Cong, and later macheted my way through the triple-canopy jungle, fighting the North Vietnamese Regulars…I sweated, thirsted, hunted, killed. Somewhere in all my experiences, I overlapped the situations of nearly every infantryman and many others who served.
Michael Lee Lanning's journal of his first tour of duty in Vietnam provides an unvarnished daily account of life in the field. The blood, fear, camaraderie, and tedium of combat and maneuver. Fleshed out with narrative and detail years later, the pages of this memorable book, first published in 1987, show an eager young recruit growing before the reader's eyes into a proud but bloodied combat veteran.
Subsequent volumes in his Vietnam Trilogy will detail Lanning's tour as a company commander and his post-war investigation into the mind of the enemy. Through his eyes, readers see the reality of a war that did not always receive glory but was, in his words, "the only war we had."
©1987 Michael Lee Lanning (P)2013 Redwood Audiobooks
"Totally honest"
It's simply amazing to hear Lanning's books. They strike me as being completely honest, since he never pulls his punches, even when it would have been easy to leave some things out in order to make himself look better. One wonders why he didn't make full Colonel--no doubt it has something to do with his habit of answering even superior officers in his very direct manner. Seems that, unfortunately, the REMF's had the last laugh. It certainly isn't a judgment on his combat record, which is simply brilliant! I like this guy much better than, say, Larry Heinemann. Lanning doesn't indulge in cynicism and sarcasm at the expense of the men with which he served. His work makes me respect the Vietnam vets all the more.
"Very well written."
Great read. Perfect narrator for story. I learned alot about Vietnam and our soldiers sacrifice.
"A must for Vietnam enthusiasts and future leaders"
A fantastic book about a young infantry officers tour of duty in Vietnam (this is book 1 of 2).
Well written, well read and very immersive.
"Fantastic description of one mans war"
Having listened to several books by soldiers and airmen who had served in Vietnam, this is by far one of the best. You can actually feel your there beside the writer each step he takes. Looking forward to listening to his last six months in the jungles of Southeast Asia.
God bless all those who didn't return.
"A good listen"
It was enjoyable and interesting, narration was good.
I enjoyed this but wouldn't listen to it again.

If you haven't wasted your short-term memory on other things, you may remember last week's tale of my friend who was cursing his ineptitude at failing to ask for a girl's phone number after a flirtatious encounter on the street.
Well, he decided to put up some A5 posters around the area in a bold, if heartwarming, attempt to find her, but unfortunately some frenzied celebrity tweeting saw the world's media run with the story as a feel-good alternative to economic Armageddon. This transformed one small act of romance into something resembling a fully resourced manhunt involving Interpol, teams of sniffer dogs and the Coastguard. My friend's distress was compounded, as he was suddenly made to look way, way too keen.
Needless to say, the girl never emailed him, probably vowing to remain shut in her basement for a year while subsisting on tinned fruit.
Matching your respective levels of keenness in the initial stages of a liaison is critical, and also bloody difficult, as everyone is generally pretending to be much less keen than they actually are. I've attempted to strike a number of blows against the overrated act of "playing it cool" in the past few months, such as writing a letter to a girl by hand, scanning it and sending it via email as a JPG file, rather than just writing an email. Romantic, huh? (No, not really.)
A week later she replied saying that yes, we should go for a drink "with the gang", which effectively meant: "I agree to meet you, but only in the presence of people who will come to my rescue." (Or maybe she was just playing it cool.)
"Show someone you care," runs the traditional advice, but for God's sake don't: they might end up thinking that you care.
And if you send flowers, I tell you, it'll look very much as if you intended to send flowers. Disaster. So I'm hoping my friend casually bumps into this girl he failed to find, giving him the chance to play it cool and pretend the poster thing never happened. Then, six months into their successful relationship, he can show her the press cuttings from last week, recount the amusing anecdote and get dumped for having previously been too keen.
The lesson: avoid bold statements of affection and dwell in some emotionless no-man's land. It's a lot safer.

Chapter 15
I woke up to a loud band and yelling. Bane hopped through the door and I couldn't help but laugh. He glared and pinned me down then started to tickle me. I squirmed and tried to move away but he wouldn't let me. We were interrupted from our fight by a cough.
"Breakfast is ready," Clover was standing at the door. She looked perfect even though she just woke up. I couldn't figure out how she did that. When I woke up my hair looked like a rat made a nest. I pushed Bane off of me and went to get dressed. Slate managed to get some of my clothes for me. I got dressed in jeans and a purple long sleeve shirt. I put my hair up in a ponytail and followed Clover.
"I was wondering if you would ever wake up, it's noon already," Akira was pacing plates around to everyone full of eggs and bacon. I went over to help but he waved at me to sit.
"Really? I can't believe it's that late already. I normally don't sleep that late." I shook my head and started to eat. It was really good and I was hungry but I couldn't eat very much. I started thinking about how much things have changed since this started. The first thing that popped into my head was how much schoolwork I will have to catch up on. I groaned at the thought, I was so going to die.
"It is already taken care of. You went on a vacation to Florida to take some pictures for a report." I stared at Slate as he smiled. He knows me way to well. I guess that is what I get for telling my dog everything. To be fair, I didn't expect my dog to be able to turn into a human.
I finished up my breakfast and walked outside. The sky was turning a dark grey. Hopefully, it is going to rain. I walked over to the pond and dipped my toes in. It was a perfect temperature for swimming. I don't have a bathing suit but a t-shirt and some shorts would work just as well.
I went back inside and grabbed some clothes. When I got back outside I noticed everyone else was outside as well. Bane and Akira were talking and Clover was stalking a butterfly. I laughed at her and walked over to Slate. He was standing in front of the water. Sorry, he was glaring at the water, probably thinking to much again. I smiled, having a perfect idea to make him think less. I walked up behind in as quietly as I could and shoved him into the water. Everyone stopped what they were doing to watch us. Slate came up spluttering and gasping. He sent me a glare and climbed out.
"That wasn't very nice."
"Who said I was nice? Besides, you were thinking to much. Sometimes you need to just relax." I stretched to show him my point.
Slate's eyes narrowed before he let out a small smile. "Oh really now? I guess then maybe you should have some fun too." I started running before he even finished the sentence. I didn't get very far before I felt arms wrap around my waist. I let out a shriek and took a deep breath to scream again when I was dumped into the water.
"You are so going to pay for that." I went up to give him a hug but he just pushed me back in. I grabbed his shoulders as I fell so he came down with me. We both came up gasping.
"Now Alecia, why don't we just call it a tie."
I sent him a look, "You know me better than that." He chuckled and agreed. I went to get out of the water but I slipped on a rock. He caught me before I could go under again. As he was standing me back up, a big splash of water took us both under. I looked up to see Clover swimming around.
"I thought cats didn't like water," Slate was still under the water but I noticed he was swimming closer to Clover.
"Well this kitty does." Clover's eyes went wide as she was dragged under. I laughed as Slate came up.
"I think I know why cats hate water. Dogs are just plain mean." Slate started to laugh. I started to laugh with him and soon we were both on the ground clutching out stomachs. I could see shock in Clover and Akira's eyes. I was confused but just ignored it and went to tackle Slate. He was faster than me however, and he flipped me back into the water. Clover and I then ganged up on him and managed to make him go under the water again. Clover, Slate, and I messed around outside until it got dark.
After we left the pond Clover and Slate went to check the spells and make sure no one else was inside the cave. Akira gently touched my shoulder and led me to his "room".
"Thank you for earlier today. Slate has not laughed for quite a while."
"Of course, I guess it isn't to easy to protect someone for eight years straight."
"He was like that before he started protecting you. It probably did get worse when he was protecting you, but not by much. He has never been one to smile."
"Oh, well you are welcome. I like it when he smiles, he doesn't seem so angry."
"I hope you know he isn't angry at you, he is angry he didn't protect you from all of this. He did seem better after last night for some reason though." I didn't reply after that. He wasn't mad at me, and Slate seemed better after he watched me cry? I get stuck with the most confusing people ever.
"He was worried you wouldn't trust him after you figured out what he was." Akira wasn't looking at me when he said it, but I knew he was answering my question. I guess after I let him sit with me Slate realized I wasn't mad at him. I smiled and walked outside again. It was a full moon and the world was cast in an eerie white glow. I felt a sudden urge to dance. I always liked dancing in the dark.
I smiled and twirled around on the soft grass. I slipped off my shoes and felt the grass slide between my toes.Tiger and I would dance, well I would dance. Tiger would circle me and howl at the moon. Slowly, the dog turned into a white haired, green eyed, boy. He grabbed my hands and spun me around to a silent tune. I spun around and felt my hair create a fire orange halo around me. His eyes caught the light as I twirled around again. He spun me around and pulled me back in. The boy leaned in closer. Suddenly, something wet landed on my nose.
I opened my eyes to come back into an empty field. Rain was starting to fall and thunder roared. I grabbed my shoes and hurried into the cave. I was dripping wet so I grabbed a towel and dried off. Then, following the voices, I went into the main room where everyone was huddled.

Iain Taylor - One of Manchester's favourite sons! DJ, Producer, Party starter, Iain has been making his mark on club culture since the early 90's and his debut sets at the cities fabled Hacienda nightclub. In a career spanning nearly 2 decades Iain has managed to calve out a pedigree in which many of his peers have quite justifiable cause for envy.
Iain was DJing at house parties while he was still at school and soon graduated into the ranks of club DJ and party promoter. His story is not so unique to begin with. Get a job in a record shop, promote parties and give out mix tapes! That is until one of his mix tapes found its way into the hands of a promoter at The "Hacienda" in Manchester. For those who don't know about the Hacienda's legacy, it is safe to say that it is a venue that will forever be etched into dance music history! Iain had his shot and he took it! Main slot, main room, no looking back!
From here on things took a distinct and sharp upturn for our young Mancunion hero. More slots at the "Hacienda" and then onto more of the UK's Acid House establishments before inevitably taking his sound global.
In 2001 Iain took up a residency with (the now legendary) Tribal Sessions at Sankeys Soap in Manchester (Mixmag Club Of The Year 2005 / DJ mag #1 Club 2012).
Iain's Sankeys residency became the longest in the clubs history. Nearly 7 years at the helm of what is now one of the worlds's most celebrated underground institutions. From this platform he also began to grow his record label and production skills and also take on international tours for clubs like Ministry Of Sound and Back To Basics and as an international resident for DJ Magazine.
After nearly 7 years and some of the best days of his life behind the turntables at Sankeys, Iain decided it was time to move on from the weekly resident duties and start something fresh of his own.
Do you believe in fate? Sometimes, something just happens at exactly the right time. Iain left a residency but gained freedom and so began a journey that would take him along a whole different path. As he became more committed to the studio he also became more committed to creating the perfect setting to air his new productions. rEJEKT was born!
In the autumn of 2007 he headed up a series of underground parties with the sole intention of staying "off the radar".
The rEJEKT parties took place in a disused furniture warehouse on the border of Manchester and Salford. If you didn't know about it, you would never know it was happening! And that was precisely the point! No flyers, No posters! A makeshift club which disappeared without trace as quickly as it was created. It was a long dark tunnel with only the occasional flash of a strobe or shot from the laser. They were parties with every last detail under Iain's control. A party that started when all others were finishing and carried on until no one was left standing. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!
Iain produced music as a bespoke soundtrack to these parties and now It was time to stop the tinkering and set the music free. First TP's and CD's of RJKT 001 – The Es Kubells EP (inspired by a free party in Ibiza) received plays from MANDY, Sven Vaeth, Digweed, DJ Hell, MR C, Claude Von Stroke, Sasha, Stephan Bodzin, Argy, Tania Vulcano, Tom Stephan, Sebo K, Layo & Bushwacka, Italoboys, Slam, Vector Lovers and even 1 Hernan Cataneao!! And to date rEJEKTS have built a loyal following which also now includes artists like Locodice, Luciano, Teifschwarz, Nik Faniculli, Luke Solomon, Kiki, Alexander Robotnik, Brett Johnson, Riton and Danny Tenaglia (to name just a few of our favourites).
rEJEKT soon became a record label and a travelling club night but it's also much more than that! It's an ideal! A state of mind! Open minded liberal venues and promoters were courted and the good ship rEJEKT set sail into a dark and hazy horizon. Iain set up residencies with clubs like El Diablo's Social Club in Manchester, Back To Basics in Leeds, Space and Underground in Ibiza, Global Underground Movement in South America, Cloud 9 in Beijing, Luxy in Taiwan and from there started a guerrilla tour of duty "Saving the world one party at a time".
We rEJEKT mass marketed music by numbers. rEJEKT the mundane. rEJEKT conformity, the obvious, the tedious, the transparently mercenary. rEJEKT greed, hate, racism, bullies, snobbery (especially musical snobbery). rEJEKT too cool for school, rEJEKT the first offer (even if it is your own offering). Dig deeper, work harder, be better, strive for perfection against all odds. Think outside the box, go against the grain, expect the unexpected. rEJEKT whatever it is that is getting you down. Throw off the shackles of everyday life and come party with us like it was 2099.
We are the rEJEKTS, we are the thinkers, the shakers, the noise makers. We are the pilot light that burns bright throughout the night"

Yes, I know.
It's been a while since I focused a post on some news for our Exchange ISV partners.
Well, you can consider those days over, as I have some Friday Fun Facts on what we've been up to on the Microsoft Platform Ready front!
If you're not already familiar with MPR–and you haven't already click on the link above—Microsoft Platform Ready "is designed to give you what you need to plan, build, test and take your solution to market."
While we've had good stuff up there on microsoftplatformready.com for Exchange 2010 for some time now, we just recently refreshed the bits around the "Test" stage of the MPR process. More specifically, we have updated our Microsoft Platform Ready Test Tool which enables you to assess your applications for compliance with Microsoft-recommended requirements and test cases.
More specifically, specifically, we've updated the Exchange Server 2010 MPR test to:
- Align with our brand spanking new Messaging competency to enable our ISVs to obtain either the Silver or Gold to show off your skills making Exchange even better
- Assess applications written for either Exchange Server 2010 or Exchange Online with Office 365
Neat, right?
"So, why is this important?"
At it's essence, the MPR test will help you identify possible compatibility and readiness issues when building your apps for Exchange Server 2010 or Exchange Online with Office 365. However, while you may wish to test non-complete versions of your software as it's being developed, only released version tests can be submitted and/or used for earning the Messaging competency as an ISV.
Nonetheless, you'll want to visit our MPR site a bunch because we will continue to refine the Exchange MPR test tool as we learn best practices for ISV partner applications working with Exchange or Exchange Online. In fact, Jim Lucey (my ISV partner lead on the Exchange partner team) thinks non-stop about how partners like you can best utilize our modern extensibility interfaces (like Exchange Web Services) to build your solutions to add value to both the on-prem and online flavors of Exchange. We'll certainly keep you updated as new guidance is made available and tweaks to the MPR test tool go live.
"Sounds great! How do I get started?" you ask.
It's super (and not just a normal Microspeak "super") easy to get going:
- Sign in to Microsoft Platform Ready and register your application to access the Microsoft Platform Ready Test Tool.
- To begin using the Test Tool, click on the Test My Apps navigation tab. Details about the criteria requirements and individual product test cases are available in the test tool
Go ahead and give the MPR test tool a whirl and don't hesitate to share your thoughts and feedback. In fact, Jim is so passionate about this opportunity he wanted me to share some recent examples of fellow great partners of yours who have already engineer their offerings to (in this case) run with EWS for (again, in this case) Exchange Online. For example, I already spoke about the BlackBerry Business Cloud Services support for Office 365, but there's also Quest OnDemand Migration for Email, LiveOffice Discovery Archive, and Binary Tree Solutions for migrating to Office 365 just to name a few.
Happy testing!

I first met Chris as a passenger in my cab. I told him I was boycotting Pi. Chris was patient and asked me why. I told him I was upset over the "no provel" shirts and the "green is the new black" shirts worn by employees.
I see the "no provel" shirts as hipster snobbery fueled by crusading transplants and self-hating St. Louisans. If you don't like St. Louis-style pizza there is a very simple solution…..get the hell out of St. Louis.
The "green is the new black" slogan (probably made up by white trust-fund babies) is also bullshit. Black is the new black. No green ghettos, no young green men murdered in the streets on a daily basis, no crisis in the green family, no driving while green. I will go even further and say there is much hostility towards African-Americans and other people of color by many green thinkers and writers.
Now, having said that to Chris he patiently responded and then explained his side of the story. He told me he didn't hate provel and agreed there is a difference between black and green. I agreed to rescind my boycott.
A short time later I took my niece and her parents to Pi in the Central West End after a basketball game. I went back one more time. The pizza is good and the environment is nice; but I still prefer Omar's, Pironnes, Faraci's, BJ's, Imos, and Cecil Whittaker's St. Louis-style pizza. For New York style pizza Omar's is also good and I like La Pizza. Chicago style ( lasagna sandwiches) actually my least favorite but it's still pizza and tastes good.
To the matter at hand….
Chris Sommers with great foresight and courage agreed to voluntarily raise the minimum-wage for his employees to a decent-wage. This was something Chris didn't have to do. The Tea Party dominated Missouri state legislature isn't about to raise the minimum-wage. President Obama isn't about to get an increase through Congress. Chris just did it because it was the right thing to do.
Just this past week Chris has fought for a crosswalk at Forest Park and Euclid. Again, he didn't have to do that. Owning a rapidly growing fancy pizza chain, living in a mansion on Lindell, and probably driving a luxury car ( no less than a Prius and that would be for liberal street-cred) Chris never has to walk anywhere. Again Chris is just looking out for the people.
So, I ask this question; are cabbies not people too? Do we not also deserve a living-wage? Are our families not as dependent on us as the families of those making pizzas?
Uber ( like Lyft) is designed to drive the wages down for drivers flooding the market with cheap and unprofessional and unregulated labor. Kind of like cheap ingredients in a pizza. You could pay 5 bucks for a pizza at Little Cesar's but you pay 30 at Pi for the quality ingredients. Lyft and Uber want to flood St. Louis with what is the equivalent to Aldi's frozen pizzas.
I know Chris supports locally-owned businesses. In fact many ride-share proponents are Locavores. Cherokee Street, the hotbed of Lyft support, prides itself on being all about locally owned businesses. Yet that all gets thrown out the window when it comes to the cab business.
Laclede Cab is owned by Dave McNutt. Dave rose up from a childhood of poverty in south St. Louis to become a successful businessman. The vice-president of Laclede spent over 30 years with the St. Louis County police. The general-manager is a minister in North St. Louis and a former city cop. If that's not local I don't know what is.
The owners of County-Yellow, ABC-Checker, and the other local companies are also St. Louisans.
Lyft is a San Francisco based company fueled by hundreds of millions of dollars from international bankers. Uber is also not a St. Louis outfit and is also flush with cash from international financiers.
If Chris Sommers supports local businesses he should support locally-owned cab companies and drivers. Instead of this he has become the front man for Uber in St. Louis. Disappointed. Uber is not only bad for cabbies it's bad for St. Louis. If Chris wants to really help our city he needs to rethink his position.
Nebula and The Share Economy
Lyft and Uber are a part of the "share economy". This bogus trend isn't about sharing at all. It's about making money. This economy, probably invented by some Ayn Rand fanboy, is about skirting regulations designed to protect the public and workers. It's also about the new Jim Crow and a way for people to only interact with those who look like them and minimize contact with those outside of their race or social-class.
Go to any article written on Ride-Share then go to the comments section. Or just search Twitter. Or pop in a bar and strike up a convo. The biggest complaints about cabbies are xenophobic. Complaints about the race, religion or attire of drivers are most common. Ride-Share supporters instinctively know that Lyft and Uber drivers will not be professional drivers. They'll be whiter and more similar to them and that's what they want.
If Nebula, Chris Sommers, Alderman Scott Ogilvie and others support taxi chains why not support other chains? Like Dollar General. You see Dollar General, a chain just like Lyft and Uber, is trying to open on South Jefferson at the old Hoods location. The prospect of a dollar store opening has caused a great uproar from the exact same people who support taxi chains.
Is it about locally-owned versus chains? Or something else. Are these same people in an uproar over Dollar General also against Ikea? Ikea is a chain. It's not even American. Yet Ikea Is getting much love from many in the "shop local" crowd.
So, is it about the stores? Or is it about the customers? Are you really saying we don't like who shops at Dollar General and we like who shops at Ikea? Our future vision of the neighborhood is tied to the removal of Dollar General customers. Is that the message? Cabbies pick up and take folks from dollar stores all the time. How many ride-share drivers will be able to say that?

Red Bull's Mark Webber has targeted a maiden victory in Spa-Francorchamps to reignite his bid to win the first world championship of his career.
"We'll deal with the championship situation later in the season. But I love Spa and I'd love to win there for the first time," the Daily Express quoted Webber, as saying.
The Australian, 35, heads into the summer break on the back of a disappointing eighth-place finish in Hungary last Sunday.
Webber remains second in the drivers' title standings, 40 points behind Fernando Alonso, the report said.
He also recently extended his F1 contract with Red Bull Racing till 2013. (ANI)

Report: Crewe 1 Blackpool 2
Blackpool gave themselves a fighting chance of avoiding the drop after coming out of an action-packed clash with Crewe Alexandra with three massive points. In a match which contained everything, a true mix of emotions, Tom Aldred fired the crucial winner seven minutes from time to haul The Seasiders out of the relegation zone.
Jack Redshaw had got the ball rolling with a close-range header, before being controversially sent off for two soft yellow cards before the break. Crewe pressed in the second-half and finally found an equaliser late on when Marcus Haber flicked home at the near post.
It was to be Blackpool's day however and lady luck arrived just in time, as Aldred's effort deflected home. There was more to come however, as Brad Inman blew a golden chance to equalise by blazing over an injury time penalty as Pool were rewarded for their resilience.
Having struggled to create clear-cut chances in recent weeks, Blackpool carved out two good openings in the first two minutes at Gresty Road. First Brad Potts hooked Jim McAlister's corner over, before Ben Garratt saved Danny Philliskirk's effort at the second attempt.
A cross-shot from McAlister was then dealt with by Garratt, but represented further Pool's positive start to proceedings. Crewe's first sight of goal came through Charlie Kirk, but his effort flew wide of Colin Doyle's goal.
It took 11 minutes for Hayden White to put the afterburners on and his cross should have brought about a better header from David Norris. The chances kept coming, next Redshaw's effort wasn't dealt with by Garratt and Zoumana Bakayogo had to clear with Philliskirk sniffing.
At the other end Inman exploited a lapse in concentration in Blackpool's defence, but Doyle bailed them out with a vital save, before Norris blazed over on the break. The midfielder then had the ball in the back of the net but his header was ruled out for offside.
However, they wouldn't be denied on 33 minutes as Blackpool finally made the breakthrough. Terrific work from Mark Cullen saw the striker find Philliskirk, his cross was headed onto the bar by McAlister and Redshaw was on hand to nod home the rebound.
However, the striker, who was booked for over exuberant celebrations, was to watch his afternoon turn sour moments later. Redshaw, in attempt to go for the ball, caught David Fox with a high boot and was shown a harsh second yellow card.
From there it was about seeing it out until half-time for The Seasiders, which they did comfortably and even had a number of set pieces to add to their lead, but ultimately they remained one goal ahead.
Half Time: Crewe 0 Blackpool 1
After the break Blackpool were looking a threat on the break, but were thankful to watch Bakayogo's header come crashing back off the crossbar. Inevitably when a man up, Crewe were getting chances and Doyle did well to smother at the feet of James Jones.
Bakayogo had another header saved by Doyle soon after before Philliskirk watched his diving header fly wide of the mark. The importance of a second goal was clear to see, even more to when Bakayogo's shot clipped the outside of the post.
Remarkably, with 17 minutes remaining there was still just the one goal on the board, and it was almost 2-0 Blackpool when Potts drove forward, took on his man and blasted against the outside of the post.
Fresh off the bench, Callum Ainley rolled the next half-chance narrowly wide of Doyle's goal, as the pressure continued to mount. Neil McDonald then made his first substitution, with Emmerson Boyce replacing Cullen and Philliskirk moving up front.
After the change of position the striker had three decent opening to kill the game off, the last of which saw him slice wide after good work from Luke Higham down the left.
However, Crewe dragged themselves level momentarily when Haber flicked home at the near post, but their celebrations proved premature. Aldred's eyes lit up when the ball dropped to him in the Alex box and the defender's powerful effort deflected over Garratt.
There was to be one final dramatic moment, as Boyce went clattering into the back of Tom Hitchcock and the referee pointed to the penalty spot. Inman stepped up and blazed his kick high into the stand.
With minutes remaining Ikpeazu replaced Philliskirk to see the game out and after White cleared a header from Haber off the line the three massive points were Blackpool's.

My Review: This book was really, really good. The book starts with Kurt waking up in the hospital after being hurt in an explosion which killed his partner Ben. They'd been giving a tip and were investigating it when the building exploded. Ben didn't survive. In the fall-out of losing his partner, Kurt realizes how little he knew about Ben even though they'd been partners on the police force for three years. When he realizes the mourning man at the funeral, Davy, was Ben's life partner, Kurt is even more confused. He had no idea that Ben was gay and feels awful about that fact. When Kurt visits Davy at home, he quickly realizes that Davy has sunk into a deep depression and doesn't have anyone to support him and help pull him out of it. Kurt takes it upon himself to help and they become friends. The events in this book take place over about a year and a half in time, so the build-up is really slow and realistic. These guys become friends. They are both still mourning the loss of Ben and Kurt is recovering from his own injuries. Kurt never knew Davy pre-depression so watching him come out of his shell and into his own as a person is an eye-opening event for Kurt. Ben had been an overbearing, dominant lover and he had suppressed Davy in their ten year relationship to the point of emotional abuse. In the midst of Davy dealing with his grief, there is Kurt. Kurt's 31 years old and has always dated girls although he's never found it all that satisfying. Girls have always just been a way of life. He doesn't even consider anything else until he's having to examine Davy & Ben's relationship. As he heals from his wounds and develops this friendship with Davy, he begins to realize (VERY slowly) that he's attracted to Davy. I really liked how slowly this part of the story line developed. It seemed to me to be very realistic and honest. Kurt is dealing with a lot and is shocked and appalled to find himself attracted to Davy. He also knows that he can't do anything about it because Davy is still dealing with his grief. It's a difficult situation all the way around and was written just brilliantly. In the midst of the beautiful story about the friendship developing between Davy and Kurt, there are several side characters that add so much to this book. First is Jenny & Simon. Simon is Kurt's new partner and he's completely different from Ben. He's open and honest and wants to be friends with Kurt outside of work so they talk about everything. He's married to Jenny and she spots the chemistry between Davy and Kurt before anyone else. Another huge influence on this book is Kurt's family. He has a HUGE, supportive family, but he worries about their reactions to his new sexuality. The best part of this story line for me was his brother Ian....simply, an interesting twist which I really liked. Overall, this is just a beautiful book. I enjoyed the story from start to finish. In the first half of the book, it's all about grief, recovery, and friendship....and I found this just as good as when the conflict of the relationship started. Like I said, the build-up was written perfectly. I'll definitely be adding this book to my re-read pile for the future.
Over 400 pages .
This story is simply… AWESOME! It starts out with the day Kurt's partner Ben dies and unfolds into an amazing story of his finding the perfect man without even realizing he is gay and how fear can wreck the best thing in life. Even though in extreme pain from living through the accident that killed his friend and partner, Kurt insists on attending his funeral, only to spot a sad woman in the front row who is pregnant. Shocked that he never even knew his partner was married, let alone that he was an expectant father, Kurt races after her when she leaves, only to find that while she is sad, a younger man standing beside her is distraught… in the way Kurt was expecting Ben's wife to be. His detective instincts kick in and by the time he goes to Ben's home – a place he was never invited to – he knows what he will find: a very sad, very depressed Davy, Ben's life partner. I absolutely love that from that instant, Kurt never has a problem with the fact Davy is gay, nor even in meeting Davy's over-the-top gay friends. This story is from a single point of view – Kurt's – and in doing so, the author was able to give us a really good look at the protagonist, a man with honor who also is terrified as he begins to realize he may be gay. Suddenly he has to deal with the fact he's attracted to another man, a man who it didn't take long before he realized his former partner emotionally abused out of fear of people knowing he was gay. Ben had separated Davy from his entire life, isolated him completely from the outside world. The dance between Kurt and Davy is sweet and I have to admit, I was hurt for Kurt, but very glad, when Davy stood up to him and told him where to go when he admitted he liked him, though wasn't ready to out himself. It shows that Davy had grown in the time they'd been together. I love the way the author takes on the last third of the book after the scene where Davy sends Kurt on his way. It is a worrisome and yet real look into a man heading downhill fast and yet covering it as much as he can. Thankfully there are people in his life, like his new partner, who won't allow him to cover anything up anymore. This was both a sweet romance and a great look into one man learning to accept that he's gay and come out. I would classify it as romance and not erotic romance as while there are 2 scenes, they are not what the book is about. If I had to find one wrong thing about the book, I can't. Sorry. Nope. So yes, a definite 5 stars for Burn's Cop Out. I will be looking for other books by this author. Reviewed by a-nony-mouse for Crystal's Many Reviewers *Copy provided for review*
I had been putting this one off for some reason but actually really liked it. The 2 MC's were very likable and it was a slow burn from their first meeting. We actually spend a lot of time with them as friends since Kurt has always considered himself straight. When Kurt comes to terms with his growing feelings for Davy, he goes alpha and Davy loses it in an unexpected way and everything falls apart. Kurt must then battle with coming to terms with his sexuality while trying to win Davy back. The story is told solely from Kurt's POV and there is quite a long separation that follows. I'm glad to see this is a series since I would have liked a few more chapters of Kurt and Davy as a couple, although the epilogue gave and interesting but quick wrap up of one of the story lines I thought would be left hanging.
Great intro to this series and author. The MCs ease into the relationship and the sex is sparse but meaningful. Can't wait to read more.
This is my first book by this author and I loved it. It was well written and as other reviews have said, it take place over 18 months and the relationship between the two MC's grew slowly and realistically. The only complaint I have is that it would have been nice to explore Davy and Ben's relationship a little more and to know why Davy allowed Ben to cover up their relationship for so long. There's definitely a story there and it only makes sense that Kurt and Davy would have had a conversation about it.
Wonderful love story.
Very good book. Worth reading. You won't be disappointed.

Glacier hiking
... teenagers this time. I could see the glacier from afar, and it was crazy! For some reason I thought glaciers were like icebergs, but no, they are ice on/in between mountains. So I'll be hiking that thing...!
We had an hour to kill before the bus to the glacier left. There was a French pair from our hostel who were super approachable. I couldn't tell if they were ...
Some more biking!
... capture the epicness of the landscape with my iPhone. So one interesting thing about backpacking in different places around the world is that you encounter different types of people. I mean, all hostels everywhere get all kinds of people, but there are definitely certain types that are prevalent in certain places. Like South America has a lot of solo travelers and hippies from America and Europe. Western Europe has groups of young kids from western countries. Norway, ...
Biking on the "romantic road"
... headed to the dock to catch the 11am ferry to Urnes, a village (I'm using that term very loosely), across the fjord. They have a 12th century church that is an UNESCO world heritage site. It looked haunted and burnt... There were flood lights and cameras and fire extinguishers all over, so I guess it's like a national treasure. Also on the ferry were Dutch tourists in cars and German tourists who came by a big bus. There was also a group of Norwegians ...
Climbing out of the fjords
... cup of coffee with no refill. Trying to catch a ferry is a national sport/frustration. When we blithely rolled into Sjolden we learned another. You can't buy bread or milk or any grocery items on a Sunday. Mabe back in the big city if Sogndal, butnot in any little town. We were out of bread and had been buying lunch fixings on the go, so we weren't all that prepared for this little lesson. Even the gas station we stopped at didn't have white milk ...
Skjolden Norway!
... to have a lie in each morning so far! I say that, although when we port our cabin is right next to ... Well god knows what, anchor, the ropes to keep us in port i don't know but it makes a bloody right noise! Eurghhh! Apart from that I can't complain! I don't really know what else to tell you! Apart from I'm having a great time so far :-) seriously on countdown to Caribbean though oh yeahhhh ;) ...
