Not that there will be tangible proof any time soon about which teams scored big and which missed the mark in the NFL Draft, but there is an immediate consensus of so-called winners and losers. Football Outsiders complied draft grades handed out by notable NFL writers and thinkers for all 32 teams. The least surprising result comes right at the top as San Francisco received a 3.71 GPA. For those that haven't been in school for a while, that means the 49ers largely received "A" grades after using their bevy of picks to address needs at safety with first round pick Eric Reid , defensive line with Tank Carradine and target a promising albiet injured running back in Marcus LattimoreThe 49ers were in position to act like a bully and they did just that, manuevring around enough to even land a third-round pick in 2014. Rounding out the top-5, Bengals, Ravens, Rams, Cardinals. Yes, the experts apparently loved the NFC West and AFC North.
Fantasy Analysis:
However those same experts did not like the Cowboys (1.63), who many believe reached for center Travis Frederick in the first round, though there were quibbles with several of their picks. The rest of the bottom-5 includes Browns, Patriots, Bills and Redskins. Based on the bulk of the pre-draft information, none of these five selections appear dramatically unfair, though the Redskins did not have a first-round selectioin because of the Robert Griffin III trade. The pre-draft information, some of it their own, is also what skews perception, even among those handing out the grades. We won't actually know many of the "who won or who lost" answers for some time. For now, we rely on the "experts" to look into theor crystal ball.

SEFFNER — The most belated signing ceremony over which Armwood football coach Sean Callahan has presided may also have been his most gratifying.
At dusk Tuesday, nearly seven weeks after national signing day, Hawks fullback Kyle Wilcox and receiver A.J. King formally righted what Callahan deemed two egregious wrongs.
Bedecked in shirts and ties, Wilcox and King — both spurned at the eleventh hour by the schools to which they had initially committed — signed with Penn and Western Michigan, respectively.
"Both of these guys are going to be true success stories," Callahan told a small gathering of relatives, coaches, reporters and teammates. "Because they both handled adversity like true athletes do."
Which isn't to say it was easy.
Wilcox, Armwood's valedictorian who spent part of his childhood in foster care before his 20-year-old brother assumed legal guardianship, initially was set to attend Princeton.
Two nights before signing day, however, a Tigers coach called Wilcox at home to tell him he had been rejected by the Ivy League school's admissions office. Callahan was livid; Wilcox's response: "Coach Cal, relax, it's all going to work out."
On Tuesday, Callahan announced Wilcox — who owns a 6.46 GPA — had qualified for more than the $52,000 annual cost to attend Princeton.
By contrast, Callahan couldn't put a price tag on the smile King brandished Tuesday.
Shortly after tearing his left ACL in a preseason game against Middleton, King (29 catches, 499 yards in 2009) committed to Purdue, which had been courting him for some time.
He played in one regular-season game and had surgery, in which a cadaver's ligament was used to repair the injury, on Oct. 25. More than a month later, King's parents said, they joined their son on his visit to Purdue, where they say they were reassured by coach Danny Hope.
"Basically when we were in his office we asked him, 'Is everything still okay?' " Sharon King recalled. "He said, 'Yeah, sure, we can't wait to get him up here. Everything's a go, no problem.' "
Neither King nor his parents have spoken to Hope since. Through a Boilermakers offensive line coach, they heard in January that the Purdue staff questioned the nature of King's surgery and had withdrawn the scholarship offer.
King was so distraught he skipped the Feb. 2 signing day ceremony, during which four teammates signed with colleges. "I couldn't do it," he said.
Tuesday, three of them were there to watch King sign with Western Michigan, which entered his recruiting picture a little more than a month ago. Callahan said King's knee rehab is on track.
"It's a great day," King said. "I feel relief, joy. I've just got to be hungry when I get up there."

The A-Team
Movies based on TV shows are often some of the most painful offerings studios have to offer. Whether suffering through the big-screen versions of The Beverly Hillbillies or Car 54, Where Are You?, My Favorite Martian or this summer's mega-bomb MacGruber, the ratio of awful adaptations to successful ones is vastly disproportional.
Of course, once in awhile, some work: Wayne's World, The Blues Brothers and (at least financially) the Mission: Impossible films come to mind. But with the new film version of The A-Team, Fox has concocted a wildly uneven yet (at many moments) even more wildly entertaining edition of the ridiculously fun '80s NBC series that manages to both disappoint and enthrall action fans within the span of a rollicking two hours.
Series purists may find plenty to grouse about, as the film kicks off with a somewhat-different take on the group, having Col. Hannibal Smith (played by Liam Neeson here, and George Peppard on TV) meet B.A. Baracus (Quinton "Rampage" Jackson here, and the immortal Mr. T on TV) for the first time, as he forces him to let him hitch a ride en route to saving his friend "Faceman" (Bradley Cooper here [editor's note: check out a Q&A with Cooper], and Dirk Benedict on TV). They are immediately at odds before bonding over their mutual Army Rangers tattoos, a trait they share with Faceman and their final member, an insane chopper pilot named "Howling Mad" Murdock (Sharlto Copley of District 9 here, and Dwight Schultz on TV).
The tattoo discovery and subsequent bonding is a bit heavy-handed and produced unintended chuckles from the audience, and the opening action set-piece involving rescuing Faceman from Mexican killers features both underwhelming action and annoying rap-rock on the soundtrack. Just when the film seems to be mired in bad writing and an obnoxious sensory overload, however, something starts to click.
Once the storyline jumps 10 years from the opening action to the present, where the A-Team is mixed in with U.S. troops in Iraq, it quickly finds its footing. A CIA agent named Lynch (Patrick Wilson) enlists Hannibal to bring the team out on a mission to find and retrieve U.S. currency-making plates stolen by Iraqi soldiers during the first Gulf War, and which are now in danger of falling into even worse hands.
The team pulls off the plate retrieval, only to have a surprise twist occur that results in their being accused of high crimes, put on trial by the military and sent to individual prisons scattered around the planet. When they eventually get a chance to escape and save the day, the resulting four breakouts are again highly entertaining, although nothing tops a sequence in which the guys wind up in an aerial dogfight with two U.S. fighter drone jets with heat-seeking missiles, while flying a tank. Crazier still is the sight of Faceman popping open the tank roof and manning a machine-gun turret against the drones.
Yes, you read right: they fly a tank. The sequence is absurd, over-the-top, and utterly amazing—to my mind one of the best action scenes I've ever witnessed, and it's nearly matched just minutes later with an incredible heist and shootout involving the skyscrapers and streets of Berlin. Director/co-writer Joe Carnahan (the also audaciously entertaining Smokin' Aces) is fast becoming a major force to be reckoned with.
Hannibal always conceives the plans, famously intoning "I love it when a plan comes together," and this one is a doozy. Throughout the film, the various "plans" are staged in a fashion taken from the Clooney-era Oceans Eleven films: as they huddle to learn the plans, the screen jumps between the high-octane action that results, and the discussion of the plan. As each step is spelled out, we see the actual result take hold. The combined effect is riveting and dynamic.
Unfortunately, the climax—set at the Port of Los Angeles—starts out fun but devolves into an often-incoherent blend of CGI effects and shadowy lighting that obscures some portions of the action. This is particularly unnerving when it comes to the hand-to-hand combat of B.A., considering that "Rampage" Jackson is an Ultimate Fighting champion, but it represents only a couple minutes of screen time and the film still rewards those who stay through the end of the credits with amusing cameos from some of the original A-Team actors.
Mr. T famously declined to be a part of the new film, complaining that the violence was too graphic and that it also had too much sex. That complaint is baffling in one respect, as there are no sex scenes whatsoever, but his take on the violence might hold some interest for concerned parents. No one gets really brutalized, but the action is definitely more intense and edge-of-your-seat, and plenty of people die non-graphically from getting shot (which didn't happen in the show, to an almost laughable extent).
Regarding the cast, all four of the stars do a great job with their characters, adding an impressive zing to both their dialogue and the action scenes. Cooper is particularly good, however, as his Faceman not only has to be funny and daring, but also has some solid romantic tension with a female Army officer (Jessica Biel) who once shared a romance with him but is now out to bring them down when she's misled to believe the Team are the bad guys.
Overall, The A-Team movie is so incredibly good in its spectacular center that it overcomes its shoddy opening and end climax to still be well worth the price of admission. I would pity the fool who missed out on the tank scene in particular.

There's no escaping the grammar police, even when you're totally innocent. I actually think that sentence was particularly well articulated. My only complaint is that because I prefer to know as little as possible of what happens in a film (or book), there was too much information. Which is why I always skim movie reviews. And write sentence fragments.

Puma Boots Top UCL Group Stage Goal Chart
The concluding day of the UEFA Champions League group stage produced an exciting amount of goals and drama as the final teams confirmed their places in the next stage of football's biggest club competition. With goals firing in from all angles, this years group stage hasn't been shy of a goal or two!
Of all the boots to find the back of the net, PUMA have emerged from the group stage on top, claiming four of the top six places among this years current top UCL goal-scorers! With Mario Gomez leading the PUMA charge, a number of unexpected faces have found themselves amongst the goals. See who's leading PUMA's line this year.
Mario Gomez has already confirmed that to him, the Champions League Golden Boot isn't important. But with six goals already to his name, the Germany and Bayern Munich striker looks like the player to stop this season! After finding the net in the Group A win over Villarreal with his sixth strike of the tournament, Gomez eclipsed Barcelona's Lionel Messi as the top scorer - meaning the PUMA v1.11 sits top of the charts!
Frei sent Man United crashing scoring Basel's second.
Gomis netted four times in Lyons 7-1 win against Zagreb.
Alexander Frei's winner against Man United has seen him climb into the higher regions of the goal-scoring standings with an impressive five goal tally. The FC Basel 1983 striker and PUMA King wearer sent last seasons finalists crashing out as he headed home Basel's second goal of the night, taking him above Ibrahimovic and Karim Benzema.
Before last nights historic Champions League clash between Lyon and Dinamo Zagreb, Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis had one UCL goal to his name. Now after setting a new record for the fastest ever UCL hat-trick as part of his four goal haul in Lyons 7-1 demolition of Zagreb, the PUMA v1.11 wearer has shot up the leader board with five goals!
It was another drama-fuelled night in Milan as CSKA Moscow overcame 2010 champions Inter Milan 2-1 at the San Siro. Seydou Doumbia gave CSKA the lead in the 50th minute, taking his group stage goal-count to five, and helping his side progress as Group B runners-up after Lille and Trabzonspor played to a goalless draw.
PUMA are enjoying a successful 11/12 campaign as their impressive playing roster continues to deliver the goals across Europe! What brand will be claiming the Champions League Golden Boot this season? Can Mario Gomez continue this goal-scoring form through the the later stages? Share your thoughts online.

Canada economy on track for dismal first quarter
By Louise Egan
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada is on track to post one of the worst economic performances in its history in the first quarter, likely pushing the central bank to go beyond interest rate cuts in its efforts to combat the recession.
Statistics Canada said on Tuesday that shrinking manufacturing production, particularly in autos, led gross domestic product to shrink 0.7 percent in January from December. That made for a year-on-year downturn of 2.4 percent, the steepest fall since the last recession in the early 1990s.
A separate Statscan report showed producer prices rose in February for the first time since August, but the increase was largely due to a weakening currency and heightened demand for precious metals by investors seeking shelter from the financial storm.
"There is no getting away from the fact that the Canadian economy is in the depths of a rather profound economic recession, and from the evidence so far this year, it clearly appears that the economy may have taken a dramatic turn for the worse," said Millan Mulraine, economics strategist at TD Securities.
Mulraine's analysis is that even if the economy remains flat in February and March -- an unlikely event -- first-quarter GDP will shrink by about 6 percent annualized.
The steepest quarterly decline on record for Canada was a 5.9 percent decline in the first quarter of 1991.
"In what should end up being the country's darkest hour, GDP has dropped at an annualized 9 percent rate since October. A few more months like that and we would be talking about a depression, but there are reasons to believe that milder monthly retreats lie ahead," said Avery Shenfeld, economist with CIBC World Markets.
Despite the economic gloom, the Canadian dollar recovered a bit on Tuesday from the two-week low it hit on Monday, helped higher by firmer equity markets. Bond prices rose after the GDP report. Continued...

NBC Sports Network will air a second edition of "MLS Breakaway," its version of the widely popular NFL Red Zone, the game-day channel that provides back-and-forth coverage of all the Sunday afternoon football during the fall.
The second edition of "MLS Breakaway" will air on Aug. 3, beginning at 9 p.m. ET, on NBC Sports Network and follow its coverage of the Sporting Kansas City-New York Red Bulls match at 6:30 p.m. ET.
The 90-minute "whip-around" show will feature multiple live look-ins to regional broadcasts of four games being played at that time.
The first show, which aired March 16 during Rivalry Week, averaged only 51,000 viewers, about half the NBCSN average for an MLS telecast and less than a quarter of the 209,000 viewers who watched the Seattle-Portland game that followed "MLS Breakaway" for the largest audience of the 2013 season to date on NBCSN.
This second show provides NBC with several valuable promotional opportunities.
"MLS Breakaway" will showcase NBC's new lead MLS play-by-play voice, John Strong, as host, and he will work alongside analyst Kyle Martino from NBC Sports Groups' new International Broadcast Center in Stamford, Conn.
It will provide multiple opportunities for NBC to promote the debut of its coverage of the English Premier League, which kicks off its 2013-14 season two weeks later.
The four games "MLS Breakaway" will cover are all interconference matches:
-- D.C. United-Montreal, 7:30 p.m. ET
-- Philadelphia-Chicago, 8 p.m. ET
-- Colorado-Real Salt Lake. 8:30 p.m. ET
-- Houston-Columbus, 9 p.m. ET
Note: Some start times have been changed from the original MLS schedule.
ONE WORLD SPORTS LANDS BAYERN AND CHELSEA. ONE World Sports has secured season-long rights to air matches of reigning UEFA Champions League champion Bayern Munich and 2012 winner Chelsea FC in three-hour blocks of delayed gamecasts accompanied by exclusive interviews with leading players and team managers.
The Bayern and Chelsea shows will hit the network in mid-August, when league play resumes, and also will feature games from their respective Champions League and cup campaigns.
MESSI'S NEW SHOE. Lionel Messi debuted the next generation of his signature adidas adizero F50, which features personalized design details including his logo, name and mantra "give all for your team," at his Messi and Friends match in Medellin, Colombia.
The charity match tour continues with stops in Los Angeles on Wednesday and Chicago on Saturday.

The crowd isn't queuing up just for the $2.50 mugs of McSorley's or for the scruffy old bartenders plying their trade with seen-it-all stoicism. What everyone's really here for is the Bistro Burger: an eight-ounce slab of juicy grilled beef piled several inches high with melted cheese, bacon and raw onions. Served on a paper plate that invariably turns into a greasy pulp, it's one of the heftiest, messiest and, at $6.75, cheapest chunks of cow you'll have in this town.

Before you even think about steak, you can enjoy sweetbreads as large as a lady's fist (they're too big), a roasted lobster tail (it's too expensive), and an entire lobe of duck foie gras (I didn't dare).

The brick-walled, tin-ceilinged spuntino is less than a restaurant (though the food's terrific), more than a bar (affable bartender, respectable Negroni), and already, in its infancy, the sort of homey, affordable, drop-in-anytime place that gives interlopers from distant zip codes a serious case of neighborhood envy. The menu reads like a shopping list, with mix-and-match categories for beans and grains, vegetables, meats, and cheeses, plus a choice of sandwich breads and fillings. But the ingredients are prime (and often organic) and the chefs make the most of them, whether they're dressing long leaves of verdant puntarelle with fragrant olive oil, capers, and anchovies, grating pecorino over bitter escarole, or roasting Brussels sprouts and acorn squash till they're irresistibly sweet."

Most come for the fabled cupcakes, quaintly frosted in pretty pastel colors, but the cloyingly sweet icing and crumbly cake make it hard to determine exactly what the fuss is all about. Other options are cakes and tarts that sound as if they might have been invented by kids at a fanciful tea party, with flavorings like Oreo cookie and Snickers, but too much sweetness overwhelms these goodies, too. Chocolate pudding pie tarts are refreshingly sparing of sugar, yet a mushy crust keeps it from matching bake sale memories of yore.

Per Se10 Columbus Cir, Fl 4th
New York, NY 10019-1107, US
"$$$$ One of NYC's most exclusive, famous and most well regarded restaurants. Located in Time Warner Center. The French Laundry is widely touted as the best restaurant in America, and Per Se seems to have been conceived, rather self-consciously, as its august big-city sibling. The rooms, which look out across the treetops of Central Park, feel grand but mildly antiseptic. The main dining room is colored, by the designer Adam Tihany, in muted tones of gray and brown, and decorated, at either end, with towering arrangements of foxtail lilies, and a working fireplace allows for fireside dining. The hyperattentive and hyperinformed wait staff are dressed in starchy dark suits and fat Armani ties, and as they troop silently to and fro in the ghostly evening light, the whole scene looks elegant but solemn and vaguely stagy, like a studious California version of what a first-class New York restaurant should be.

Peter Luger178 Broadway
Brooklyn, NY 11211, US
"The most famous steakhouse in NYC. The room isn't handsome, street-slick, or even particularly welcoming. It recalls the kind of establishment that sports a banner running from beam to beam every year proclaiming !oktoberfest! The patrons may have come here straight from their booths at the Javits Center. The staff goes about its nonstop business with cordial if mechanical efficiency, serving onion-and-tomato salads, creamed spinach, and pasty fried potatoes. So why is it always more crowded than Toys 'R' Us on the weekend before Christmas? Because there are few gastronomic sensations that confirm the good life better than a hunk of a spectacular steak. And Peter Luger can broil and deliver one magnificently aged and marbleized two-finger-thick porterhouse after another with the unfailing certainty of Dustin Hoffman adenoidally reciting baseball scores. So don't even ask for a menu. Get big. Eat beef."

"Pineapple Pick! One of Anonymous and Anonymous's favorite museums in NYC! A whopping 560,000 square feet, the city's second-largest museum contains a world-class collection of roughly 1.5 million works covering a wide cultural swath and virtually every period in art history. Its commanding Beaux-Arts structure, designed by McKim, Mead and White, was set to become the largest art institution in the world, back in 1895. (The plans were dashed when Brooklyn became just another borough two years later and the funding headed north to the Met.) After decades of lagging maintenance, the museum revived itself in the last two decades of the twentieth century via massive renovations designed to reposition its famed holdings of ancient Egyptian antiquities and century-spanning American Art. The Egypt Reborn installation traces over 3,000 years worth of artifacts (among them, the prized Bird Lady figurine and the Cartonnage of Nespanetjerenpere).

Grand CentralE 42nd St & Park Ave
New York, NY 10017, US
"In 1913, after his Grand Central rail line switched from steam to electricity, Cornelius Vanderbilt replaced his 1871 depot with a colossal, 49-acre "city within a city" of concrete, steel, and limestone that sat on three miles of tunnel and pushed 10 stories below its lowest level. With its majestic vaulted Sky Ceiling depicting constellations, a series of Roman-inspired ramps designed to keep pedestrians on the move from the street to their trains, and 60-ft. arched windows that streamed sunlight into a grand concourse that has become an enduring symbol of perpetual motion, the Beaux Arts terminal soon became the busiest train station in the nation. It also became an American landmark thanks, in part, to the role it played in welcoming Hollywood stars and in shuttling troops and supplies during World War II. In the late 1970s, after the downfall of the rail system, developers did their best to send the rapidly decaying and decrepit structure the way of its demolished rival Penn Station, but a Supreme Court ruling upheld its landmark status. In 1998, an extensive restoration that included the long overdue building of a second marble staircase has returned the jewel to its former radiance and polish. Today 700,000 people pass through the terminal daily, whether to rush to one of the 538 departures of the three commuter lines or to shop or dine in some of the city"
Guggenheim Museum1071 5th Ave
New York, NY 10128, US
"When Frank Lloyd Wright designed an inverted ziggurat and placed it across from Central Park in 1959, he threw the museum and architectural world into disarray. Instead of cube-shaped galleries designed to be entered and exited, Wright designed a space as exciting as the art it would contain. Visitors, ideally, shoot to the top of the sunlit glass dome by elevator then saunter down six sloping ramps to view art on curved walls. The interior is designed like a nautilus shell so you can see art from multiple levels simultaneously. And the distance and height from which you see the art, ideally, changes the way you see it. There are, still, annexes off to the side, holding the permanent collection of late 19th and early 20th century painters, from swirly, turbulent Van Goghs and jazzy Kandinskys to exuberant Picassos and Braques. But the nucleus of the Guggenheim is the rotunda itself. The organic, spiral shape is repeated and countered by the contours of the art and sculpture on view, the columns on which the rotunda hinges, and even the gold drinking fountains with their half-circles of water and round repositories. Since 1988, director Thomas Krens has irritated and enlivened the art world with showy, populist exhibits from motorcycles to Mapplethorpe, and from video artists Bill Viola and Nam June Paik to the interdisciplinary conceptualist Matthew Barney. But traditional modernists need not avoid this dynamic, tilt-and-twist space"

You might find a twentieth-century Danish lounge chair for under $300 or that human spine you've been looking for to round out your creepy-things collection. All the merchandise has been vetted for interest, so you're spared picking through the bottom of boxes, and there are even artful window displays. On the first Friday of every month, there are art exhibitions by talented customers or Pratt students who live nearby."

The pants, blouses and dresses exemplify the designer's sharp tailoring and sexy, structured femininity; all are meant to be worn draped or layered."

Manhattan, NY, US
"This uptown branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art is worth the 45-minute subway ride from midtown (plus a pleasant 10-minute walk through Fort Tryon Park.) Perched on the tip of Manhattan, the castle-like Museum is comprised of five Medieval cloisters imported from France and filled with art and artifacts. Perhaps the most celebrated attractions are The Unicorn Tapestries, a group of seven wall hangings that vividly portray the mythological hunt and capture of a unicorn. (The flowers in the tapestries, woven of wool and silk, are depicted in such detail that researchers have identified many of them.) Other gallery objects include religious sculptures, water vessels shaped like animals, illuminated manuscripts, stained glass and ivories. Many visitors come for the building itself: One room recreates a 12th-century chapel and the monastery gardens are breathtaking. With its antiquated structure and amazing vistas, the Museum is also featured in numerous films including Coogan's Bluff and Keeping the Faith."
The Cyclone1902 Surf Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11224, US
"Famous rollercoaster in Coney Island. In the period since it first opened on June 26, 1927, the Cyclone has emerged as the outdoor amusement industry's most famous, most influential, and most copied individual ride. Brothers Jack and Irving Rosenthal commissioned Vernan Keenan to design, and Harry C. Baker to construct, a monumental wooden-tracked twister, which was forced to be exceptionally tight and steep because of the small ground space that was available to them. Construction then began on a site historically significant in the world of roller coasters -- the Cyclone occupies the space, which contained the world's very first roller coaster, LaMarcus A. Thompson's Switchback Railway, as well as the world's first successful looping roller coaster, Loop The Loop. With power supplied by the Eisenberg Brothers of Brooklyn, signs from Menheimer and Weiss of New York City, steel from the National Bridge Company, also of New York City, and lumber from Cross, Austin & Ireland, located in Long Island City, the Cyclone quickly became Coney Island's number one attraction, a status it maintains to this day. When the Rosenthal Brothers left Coney Island to operate their newest property, Palisade Amusement Park, they turned over the operation of the Cyclone to Chris Feuchts, who lovingly maintained and ran the ride for decades. Eventually, ownership of Cyclone was acquired by the City of New York, and it was operated by the City's Parks Department. On June 18, 1975, Dewey and Jerome Albert, owners of Astroland Park, received authorization to operate the Cyclone under a leasing agreement with New York City. The Alberts had teams of carpenters and iron workers completely rehabilitate the ride, which reopened to great fanfare on July 1st of that year. Since that time, Astroland Park has invested millions of dollars in the upkeep of the Cyclone -- today, it probably runs better than it did on the day it opened, and has the highest safety standards in the outdoor amusement industry. The Cyclone has consistently ranked at or near the top of every roller coaster top ten list published. It has been proclaimed the world's greatest by a broad spectrum of media institutions and roller coaster aficionados. Time Magazine quoted Charles Lindbergh as saying that a ride on the Cyclone was more thrilling than his historic first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Emilio Franco, a mute since birth, regained his voice on the Cyclone, uttering his first words ever -- "I feel sick"! In April 2001, singer Nikki Lauren became the first person ever to present a live musical performance in the Cyclone's historic loading station. An official New York City Landmark since July 12, 1988, Cyclone was listed in the New York State Register of Historic Places on June 31, 1991. National Historic Landmark status followed, on June 26, 1991. On April 14, 1992, Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden issued a citation to Jerome Albert and the late Dewey Albert for their operation of both Astroland and the Cyclone, saluting them for being the primary energizing force in the regeneration of the Coney Island Amusement District."

New York, NY 10021, US
"This Madison Avenue gem is undoubtedly the place to go to view truly eclectic contemporary art. Admission fees may seem a little steep, but the collegiate atmosphere and bold selection of 20th century works keep visitors coming back in droves. Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, herself a sculptor, opened a small art studio in the Village with 500 pieces from her personal collection. Initially, she offered to merge her works with the Metropolitan Museum of Art and even promised to provide the extra funding to build a new wing. When the Met didn't arrive at an immediate decision, she and Juliana Force (the Whitney's first director who became instrumental in formulating its original concept), opened a space on W. 8th St. in 1931. The Whitney eventually moved to a bigger site on W. 54th St. in the 1950s and finally settled in its current location, designed by Marcel Breuer, in 1966. The Whitney's permanent collection now holds about 14,000 pieces, including works by Georgia O'Keeffe, Andy Warhol, Charles Sheeler and Jackson Pollock. The museum has seven floors (five above ground, two basement levels) made of rock, wood and concrete. Mirroring many of its exhibitions, the building produces a larger-than-life effect, with giant freight elevators and unusually high ceilings. A word to the wise: try to catch the exhibits during weekday afternoons or risk standing on slow-moving lines that wrap around the corner."

Thousands of Liberians are caught up in the most devastating Ebola outbreak in history. The disease is leading to conflict, violence and corruption. Our Community Justice Teams are changing things. Their work has saved thousands of dollars in wasted resources, and now we need your help to raise additional funds to expand their coverage. A donation of just $4 will save citizens more than $8, empowering them to improve their lives.
As a result of the ongoing spread of the Ebola virus in West Africa, on Wednesday, August 20, 2014 the Liberian Government announced a complete quarantine of Monrovia's West Point neighborhood, where our Community Justice Team is located.
Things quickly turned violent when Liberia tried to quarantine a neighborhood to contain Ebola http://t.co/wWqMZIVGRX— The New York Times (@nytimes) August 21, 2014
Fear and mistrust of governing institutions and public health authorities, already responsible for worsening the spread of this deadly disease, threaten to tear apart the fragile post-war peace in one of Liberia's poorest communities. These dire circumstances has led to increased disputes between citizens and clashes with local authorities.
Photographing An Ebola Riot: Put Your Fear Aside And Go Forward http://t.co/JqH7gHgeiD— NPR Health News (@NPRHealth) August 20, 2014
But you can help! Now, more than ever, is the time to take action and help the people of West Point overcome these challenges. Our Community Justice Teams, who have already resolved more than 82 local disputes and are trusted by the community, are struggling to address the rising number of cases caused by the recent quarantine.
Even a small donation goes a long way, and would give the teams the resources they need to preserve peace and build trust in West Point during these trying times. This is how Ebola will be fought now and in the future.
For many Liberians, life is a daily struggle. Abuse of the law prevents Liberians from putting food on their tables, sending their children to school and accessing the essential healthcare services they need to stay alive. In the West Point community of Monrovia- Liberia's capital city- there is just one small court room for 75,000 people.

We've been working on the solution. The Accountability Lab is resolving community disputes in West Point- one of Monrovia's poorest neighborhoods. Working with lawyers, we've trained 8 volunteer mediators. This "Community Justice Team" (CJT) resolves civil conflicts peacefully and equitably.
Every $4 brings us this much closer to helping bring CJTs to other areas of Monrovia http://t.co/2b9yUCWblN #tinygive pic.twitter.com/p761h0IZEW— Accountability Lab (@AccountLab) May 27, 2014
The system is free and is available to citizens 24/7 and each case is carefully documented through written records taken by a notary. The CJT also works with the local police and courts to refer civil cases to community mediators. This helps to reduce the cases in the local court.
"There is simply no justice for the poor. This system helps us."
Help support Community Justice Teams in Monrovia, Liberia using #tinyGive Reply + Share! http://t.co/2b9yUCWblN #good pic.twitter.com/XRyCPaarKB— Accountability Lab (@AccountLab) May 27, 2014
This is a practical, bottom-up approach to justice and saves citizens valuable time, money, and effort. So far the system has resolved 76 cases, saving citizens over 1/2 million Liberian dollars and thousands of hours of time.
"I am deeply happy over what these people did for me, had they not been there I would be in jail."
Accountability Lab has invested $3,000 in the first CJT. For every $4 invested, we save Liberians more than $8 and over a week of time that they can use instead to make a living and take care of their families.
It may not seem like much, but $8 can help CJTs save citizens time + > US$ 7,000 http://t.co/2b9yUCWblN #tinyGive pic.twitter.com/ReC8RaG5MP— Accountability Lab (@AccountLab) May 27, 2014
We are now trying to raise enough funds to bring CJTs to other high-density, low-income communities across Monrovia. We hope to raise $2,000 to cover small stipends for the program's managers, mediators, town criers, and notaries.

Aftermarket audio question
Hi guys. So, I picked up my 2013 Focus and I couldn't be more thrilled. I have had the somewhat unique opportunity to have owned a 2012 Civic up until this fall. Obviously, the Civic very much plays on the Focus' court, but I have to say that I'm impressed with the job Ford has done. No only is the Ford more fun to drive, in addition to being equipped with more/better features and options, but it also feels like a more substantial car. The Civic was somewhat loud, and there wasn't that "whump" I like to hear when closing the door. As for entertainment, the Sync system is much more capable, if not more user friendly, than what was in the Honda. The only positive I'd give the Civic is in fuel economy; it goes pretty easy on the sips of gas. That said, I'm somewhat of an audiophile, and though I found the stock system to be pretty good (6 speaker, non-sony), I wanted to upgrade the speakers in the door. I'm not sure of the power the head unit produces, so I specifically sought out efficient speakers, and Infinity makes a premium product (Kappa 5 1/4) that also uses wattage from the head pretty efficiently. The bummer is, I switched the speakers out, and I think that stock is better (more dynamic). The Infinity was the best option I could find of the market, and pretty damn expensive to boot, but I thought maybe the speakers were the problem. I replaced those with the top of the line JL Audio 5 1/4, and same difference. Now, I haven't moved to the front doors because I've been so disappointing with the rear, but does anyone have any experiences/guesses? I really don't want to put in an amp, so if that's the only solution, I suppose I'll stick with stock. Thanks!
To be honest the highs in the stock setup arent to bad at all. That being said I ran a Line driver so that i could install an amp and sub combo for the back. That being done i was able to basic turn up the mids and highs on the stock speakers while still being able to get a low punch from the subs. I love the way it sounds for a stock head unit and speakers!
well the firewall already has wires ran through it if im not mistaken. As for the hatch, yes it does take up space. the amp actual;ly fits under the cover for the spare in that foam layer. worked out nicely. as for the sub box. Well im running 2 12's and yes it does take up almost all of the space.
is your car an auto? if so, there is a great hole to run wire through behind the battery that was for the clutch. all you have to do is make a little hole in a rubber grommet.
Moved to Car Audio, SYNC, MyFord Touch & Electronics.
hahaha I am about to do an install and was gonna do it through the firewall on the passenger but if I could do what you said I will definitely.
We look forward to it.

Partnering with clients to provide on-demand contract lawyers, giving in-house legal teams the confidence to be agile.
MinterEllison's environment and planning team is renowned for its depth of expertise and comprehensive on-the-ground resources throughout Australia and in New Zealand, with client comments in Chambers publications describing our team as:
"Excellent in terms of its knowledge, service and responsiveness."
"They have expertise in every aspect of law: if things spill over into fresh areas, Minters will have an expert there too. Their greatest strength is their diversity. They also report frequently on developments and are very responsive."
"The lawyers' experience and understanding of law is impressive."
We work as a team across all jurisdictions, with the benefit of strategic and commercial advice that comes with thorough local knowledge.
Our team is at the forefront of policy development and many of our lawyers have first-hand experience working in environment, resource and planning agencies, and engaging with industry bodies. With the increasing focus on environmental impacts, our public and private sector clients rely on us to provide strategic advice in an area of law that is rapidly evolving and has a significant impact on business operations.
Our environment and planning law practice encompasses project design through to approval, implementation and operation. We advise and assist in obtaining the necessary licences and permits for projects or business operations., and we regularly advise clients on environment and planning approvals; environmental regulation and compliance; climate change and renewable energy; land resumptions; compensation and valuation; native title and aboriginal land claims; heritage; vegetation and biodiversity management.
Our experience spans a diverse range of environmentally sensitive industries, including mining, waste management, urban renewal and retail, industrial, commercial and residential development. We provide realistic response strategies to minimise risks associated with environment and planning litigation, investigations and prosecutions.
We provide a range of advice and representation on matters arising under the various state and territory laws and the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) (EPBC Act). This includes the preparation of due diligence advice for the acquisition of major infrastructure with potential effects on native vegetation and biodiversity values, advice on vegetation clearance approvals regimes, and negotiation of vegetation and biodiversity management agreements.
Development projects require legal solutions from advisers who understand how the industry operates. Over the past five years we have been the legal and strategic adviser to more than 80 major water projects in Australia and Asia. We advise water industry participants, developers and the public sector on issues including reforms, access rights and transferability, environmental impacts and construction of new infrastructure (particularly using innovative methods of project delivery and funding). Furthermore, our environmental law specialists advise owners and operators of water and sewerage infrastructure on their regulatory rights and obligation for water resource management planning and compliance.
We also advise on a variety of waste management related issues, including preliminary planning, environmental approvals, licences or permits, stakeholder engagement, negotiations with authorities, project financing, ongoing compliance, climate change obligations and opportunities, litigation and dispute resolution, and project decommission.
Our key point of difference is our ability to provide tailored and cross-disciplinary teams for the life cycle of a project and our experience and depth of capability enables us to provide advice that is practical and commercially sound.

So... I thought any lingering Star Wars fans might like it!
First up a WARNING!!! If you dont like the prequel trilogy then you are not going to like this!!!
What with all this buzz over StarWars.com's Hyperspace service (whether you approve of it or not) at the moment, I thought I'd dig out an Episode III fan teaser trailer that me and my brother put together a couple of months ago whilst we were on a Star Wars high (it happens sometimes!)

It's very subtle and maybe lacking in professional polish but it sent shivers down my spine whilst we were making it and it still does!
If your a Star Wars fan, hope you like it. Its a little something called 'Certainty'.

By Mohammed Abbas
AJDABIYAH, Libya, March 15 (Reuters) - Muammar Gaddafi's forces pushed relentlessly eastwards towards Libyan rebels' stronghold of Benghazi on Tuesday, while world powers wrangled over a draft resolution to impose a no-fly zone.
Gaddafi appeared at an evening rally in a huge tent in Tripoli, condemning the rebels as rats, dogs, hypocrites and traitors. As he spoke, thousands gathered in a Benghazi square denouncing him as a tyrant and throwing shoes and other objects at his image projected upside down on a wall. Continued...

Hi everyone, I've been browsing the forum for a while and taken alot of useful information out of the discussions that take place here. I would like to say thank you to all of you and hopefully I will be able to participate in some discussions as well in the future. A little bit about myself. I have had my CPL for about 4 months since I turned 21. My carry setup consists of my Hogue griped SIG P226 9mm with 2 17rd Mec-Gar mags + 1 in the chamber of 124gr JHP +P or sometimes carried loaded with Cor-bon 125gr JHP +P. I carry IWB strong side @ 4 with an Uncle Mikes Kydex holster and carry a spare mag on weak side in an Uncle Mikes single kydex mag carrier. I also have a leather Galco shoulder holster that is very comfortable but only useful when I have large jackets and clothing on. My other guns include a Ruger P-89DC which was my first handgun. As for Rifles I have an AR-15 and two AK clones. I'm looking to get a shotgun next and a SIG P228. Maybe another AR-15. I forgot to metion I also carry FOX pepper spray in the 4oz can in my front jacket pocket. Thats about it.
