Burton 0-2 Oxford Utd
- From the section Football
High-flying Oxford United maintained their 100% away record with a clinical victory over 10-man Burton Albion.
A uneventful first period saw its first meaningful action when Albion's Ian Sharps was sent off after 36 minutes for clashing with Dave Kitson.
United took full advantage four minutes after the restart when Alfie Potter scored with a fine right-foot finish.
Oxford, who remain second in League Two, sealed victory through Danny Rose's simple close-range strike.
Rose converted after Asa Hall's dangerous cross caused confusion in the six-yard box.
The Brewers, who were previously unbeaten, were angered by the red-card incident, believing Kitson should also have been sent off for pushing Sharps.
The hosts edged possession but struggled to create chances against a well-organised Oxford side who were content to sit back once they had gone ahead.
Burton Albion manager Gary Rowett told BBC Radio Derby:
"I felt we were in control in the first half. I know we hadn't created an awful lot, but we were definitely in control. But whatever way you want to look at it, one decision changed the match.
"I've seen the incident again. If you're going to red card Ian Sharps for a kick which didn't look particularly violent in my opinion, then surely, I thought in the rules of the game it says that if you raise both hands to push someone, it's a red card.
"I'm not suggesting that it was worthy of a red card, but in the laws of the game, I hear it all the time. Once you raise your hands, you leave yourself with no option but to send the player off. By not doing that, I just thought it changed everything."

Annie Duke didn't have an easy road to the winner's circle of the 2010 National Heads-Up Championship.
Over the past two days, she was involved in some of the longest, most dramatic matches we've seen before finally fighting her way to victory over a very tough opponent in Erik Seidel.
Duke started out the first round by beating her good friend Andy Bloch. She bested Darvin Moon in the Round of 32 before playing an epic match against 2007 NBC Heads-Up Champion Paul Wasicka in the Round of 16. In that match, Duke was all in and at risk of elimination with ace-ten against Wasicka's pocket aces and rivered a straight.
Today she started by playing a marathon match against Jerry Yang where Yang doubled up against her on numerous occasions before finally running out of luck in the quarterfinal round. The semi-final match against Dennis Phillips wasn't any easier.
Then, Duke played three more long matches against her good friend Seidel who, after never making it out of the first round in his previous five appearances, didn't offer any quarter at the final table.
After the match, two centurions escorted Caesar and Cleopatra into the tournament room to present Duke with the winner's trophy and $500,000 in first-place prize money. Seidel graciously stood by her side, $250,000 richer himself.
That concludes our coverage of the 2010 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship. We hope you've enjoyed it.

Iran Censured for its Nuclear Program
The International Atomic Energy Agency has condemned Iran for developing a uranium enrichment site in secret.
According to the BBC, the IAEA has also called on Iran to halt its uranium enrichment project immediately. The resolution passed with a 25-3 margin, with support from Russia and China. Only Cuba, Venezuela and Malaysia voted against the measure.
Iran maintains its nuclear program is intended for peaceful energy purposes, but the US believes the country is working toward building nuclear weapons. The new uranium enrichment site was discovered in September. The IAEA is calling on the Iranian government to reveal the purpose of that plant and confirm it is not building any others.
The US says if Iran does not adhere to the requests, it will be further isolated. But Iran says the IAEA's action was useless and jeopardizes future negotiations.

Hi there,
I've observed some very odd behaviour when using Mod and N. It seems
that, when handling very large numbers, Mathematica (3.0.1, Win32) does
not display machine-precision results correctly. Here's an example
which behaves as it should:
In[12]:= Q = 10^8
Out[12]= 100000000
In[13]:= t = Mod[Q, 2 Pi]
Out[13]= 100000000 - 31830988 Pi
In[14]:= N[t]
Out[14]= 1.9427
In[15]:= N[t, 20]
Out[15]= 1.9426951345040144600
Now for a very similar example which obviously behaves wrongly:
In[16]:= Q = 10^18
Out[16]= 1000000000000000000
In[17]:= t = Mod[Q, 2 Pi]
Out[17]= 1000000000000000000 - 318309886183790670 Pi
In[18]:= N[t]
Out[18]= 128.
In[19]:= N[t, 20]
Out[19]= 4.831039164951128133
What exactly is going on here?
Thanks, cheers,
Adrian Cable.

Kieran Dixon signed a new deal with the London Broncos last week but he must bide his time if he is to live up to the comparisons with Jason Robinson.
He's only 20 and although he is a fantastic talent and an instinctive player who is quick with very good feet, against Hull KR on Saturday he was getting run over by his opposite man every time.
When your coach moves you to the other side of the pitch because you can't handle your man then that shows there is a way to go.
We are all too ready to anoint players as soon as they show a little bit of form but it doesn't always happen straight away. All players need time to mature, we start guys too early and don't give them enough time to develop.
In 1994, Jason didn't even make the Wigan team for the Challenge Cup Final but the following year he was man of the match.
Kieran has unquestionably got an England future but the World Cup this autumn is definitely too soon. There are guys like Josh Charnley, Tom Briscoe and Ryan Hall who are all ahead of him but who knows? It's there for him to prove me wrong.
Talking of England selection, the decision to leave out Danny Brough really made a mockery of last week's squad announcement. I'm not England coach but if I was I would have Danny in the squad straightaway.
Performance of the week
I haven't seen St Helens defend as courageously as they did against Warrington. It was a fantastic effort and their first 80‑minute performance of the season.
Player of the week
It was close but it was Pat Richards' 200th game for Wigan and he scored 18 points against Catalan Dragons including his 150th try. He plays in my old position at Wigan as well so I have to give him the nod.
Pick of this weekend
Leeds against Wigan is always massive. A lot of people questioned Wigan at the start of the season but they are up there challenging and Leeds will be looking to come back from a hammering by the Giants.

FORT DRUM, N.Y. - Family readiness group members from 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, received recognition for their support April 21 at Rhicard Hills Community Center.
Current FRG volunteers from 4-31 Infantry received a complimentary brunch from the unit in thanks for everything they have done while Soldiers have been deployed to Iraq.
FRG members are volunteers who provide support to the unit and act as a point of contact between Families and deployed Soldiers. FRG leaders discuss unit issues and ideas with the battalion leaders, said 1st Sgt. Ronnie Montgomery, 4-31 Infantry rear detachment first sergeant. The FRG works on post and in the local community.
"This is an outstanding group of ladies; they really help us out a lot," said Montgomer
y, who has been working with the FRG since October. "We don't know what we would do without them."
Being in the FRG is a great way to support Families and one's spouse, said Chris Harris, FRG leader for C Company, 4-31 Infantry. The brunch was important for the volunteers, so they know how much they are appreciated.
"Without volunteers, the FRG couldn't function correctly," Harris said. "If the FRG is functioning properly, it helps ease the mind of Soldiers, so they can do their job efficiently."
Leah Jones, battalion adviser for 4-31 Infantry, organized the brunch. Jones has been an adviser for about two years and has lived on Fort Drum for four years. She also has been a key caller and FRG leader.
"We are very thankful (for their support). They have stepped up and are willing to make sure our Families are well educated," Jones said.
The battalion's FRG leadership serves as a point of contact to more than 400 Families, Jones said.

It's been 15 years but Andy Green is preparing to strap himself to a rocket again, and take us for the ride.
The term "hero" gets bandied about a lot, but finding the genuine article is about as difficult as it is to locate unexplored frontiers in this digitally connected world.
Wing Commander Andy Green OBE is an unlikely embodiment of the former, with a charter to conquer the latter; to wit, the world's fastest man wants to go even faster and he wants to take us all for the ride.
Green, those with long memories may recall, is the man who drove the Thrust jet-powered car to the world land speed record of 763 miles per hour (1228km/h) in 1997 on a dry lake bed in Nevada. That makes him the first – and still only – man to break the sound barrier in a land-based vehicle.
His supersonic record has stood unchallenged for 15 years but now a new golden age for the land speed record looms as at least five teams from around the world hone a new breed of jet- and/or rocket-propelled cars in pursuit of Green's mark.
The 50-year-old RAF fighter pilot is the star recruit of the Bloodhound program, which aims not just to smash through the current mark but to blast all the way to 1000mph (1609km/h) on a lake bed in South Africa in 2016. To put that in another context, if he succeeds, Green will be covering 450 metres a second.
The Englishman was in Australia this week in an ambassadorial role with luxury car maker Bentley, with which he recently teamed up to film a 300km/h pass at the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats in the company's flagship, a V12-powered Mulsanne.
Although tall, tanned and handsome enough to appear somewhat heroic, Green defies the stereotype with the thoughtful demeanour and sharp observations of a college professor – albeit one with greater courage and steelier resolve than an entire faculty could muster.
His determination lies not only in smashing his own record, but also in firing the imaginations of school students everywhere to open their eyes to "the magic of science and technology".
He and Richard Noble, the fellow Brit behind the Bloodhound project and 1997's successful Thrust program, plan to welcome the world into the cockpit of Bloodhound in what will become the world's largest communal science project.
Thousands of schoolchildren in Britain are already following the program and millions more worldwide are expected to log in by the time Bloodhound finally lines up for its record attempt.
In an unprecedented move, the Bloodhound team has made public every aspect of the car's design and engineering. During testing and record attempts it will stream live video from 16 onboard cameras and readings from numerous sensors.
Green even plans to talk to his web-based audience as he drives, describing everything he is doing, feeling and seeing while Bloodhound rockets to speeds never before achieved. That's the plan, anyway.
Green enjoyed being one of the millions to watch Felix Baumgartner stage the world's highest skydive from the edge of space last year, when the world sat up and applauded the boundary-pushing feat in a manner rarely seen since the 1969 moon landing. Still, Green felt there was also an opportunity missed.
"Felix tripped and fell out of a balloon at 120,000 feet and got nine million [website] audience, because it was something exciting and challenging and unusual," he says.
"I was a tiny bit disappointed, I was expecting him to have the camera on his shoulder and the commentary of him as he was jumping, saying what he was feeling or thinking.
"People going out and doing unusual things, especially if you can explain it really well to the audience, does just make life richer and more exciting, it enhances the human condition and I'm lucky to be able to contribute to a piece of that."
He and Noble will measure the ultimate success of the Bloodhound project not by the speed it attains, but by the number of impressionable young minds it reaches.
"If we get to 950mph and we just can't get (to 1000), if there's something we just haven't foreseen, but we can say 'this is as fast as we'll go', then we've now got 10 million people saying 'cool, that's the answer to that' and we've achieved something massive.
"But if we get to 1000mph and no one even noticed, then we've failed."
Green says he will be "not a tiny bit" disappointed if the project falls short of 1000mph, as long as it succeeds in taking the world along for the journey.
"I'll be disappointed if we don't manage to reach out and at least explain to a global audience what an engineering adventure means to them, and at least allow them to experience a little bit of the magic of science and technology," he says.
"That's what we mean by an engineering adventure to capture a generation. Wherever you are in the world, if you've got 3 or 4G, you can look over my shoulder and mark my homework as I'm doing it at 1000mph."
Green's enthusiasm for the project is infectious and he manages to parlay most attempts to find out what makes him tick into banter about the size of the technical challenge (massive) facing the Bloodhound team or his hope (fervent) to inspire a new generation of schoolchildren to become scientists or engineers.
A straight question about whether he thinks about the consequences of a high-speed mishap becomes a lesson in preparation.
"Have I thought about the various things that could go wrong? Yes. Do I lie around worrying about them? No. I lie around wondering what else we can do to mitigate all the various things so I don't have to lie around worrying about the consequences. That way, I've got answers to the questions before we get there," he says.
But surely he acknowledges there is a level of risk involved in shoving back the boundaries of what's known to be possible?
"There's a level of risk in crossing the road. The whole point is, we're minimising that risk," he says.
"I spent my career flying fast jets and there's a reason why they have ejection seats. However sophisticated the technology, stuff sometimes stops working. The advantage with a car is that I'm already in what's a safe place for a jet – on the runway. My car starts in the safe place that the jet is trying to get to, so it's just a case of being able to roll it to a stop reliably."
On that subject, Bloodhound will have three separate braking mechanisms – one set of air brakes and two mechanically-operated parachutes – each capable of washing off speed at a rate of 100km/h each second. That's akin to the sort of deceleration experienced in a high-speed car crash, albeit without the impact.
Has holding the title of "world's fastest man" changed Green's life over the past 15 years? "It has and hasn't," he says. "Am I still in the Air Force? Yes. Do I still earn a military wage? Yes. Will I ever own a Bentley? No, much as I would love to, because they're gorgeous cars.
"But I was in New Zealand on the weekend talking to Bentley owners and a few journalists, and had the opportunity to borrow a Bentley. Nobody else where I work gets to drive a Bentley at the weekend, so I'm uniquely lucky."
Green says the real impact on his life has been the ability his fame affords to preach his own version of the gospel.
"I think the land speed record is one of the few remaining genuine adventures," he says.
"That was an easy sell in the 1930s when Malcolm Campbell was doing it because they genuinely were some of the fastest people on earth.
"It's much more difficult to explain the technology now but we have a unique advantage now with YouTube, the internet, graphic animations and running live video from the car. We can start to bring it to life in a way that hasn't been possible.
"It is one of the greatest adventures and we have a way of telling that story that hasn't existed before."

That gives you the freedom to make beautiful prints up to 20" with ZERO PROBLEMS!
From snapshot to wall hanger - your prints are gonna look gorgeous!
Plus, 14MP also gives you more flexibility to crop your images too! With a lesser camera, once you start cropping, you start losing the ability to even print a good 8x10! OUCH! With this 14MP bad boy, you can crop hard and still make nice size prints!
Most cameras give you a wimpy 3x zoom. Some, ahem, "better" cameras maybe go 4x or 5x.
This cranks it up to the next level then shoots it into ORBIT with an incredible 10X zoom!
You can go from wide angle to super-telephoto in SECONDS! A 10X zoom lets you take a group shot at the birthday party then quickly zoom in for that goofy look on little Joey's face!
You gotta see it to believe it! Great for EVERY type of photo!
This ALONE is worth WAY more than the price of the camera! You just can't beat the flexibility this gives you!
It's uses Dual Image Stabilization technology to automatically make shaky, blurry photos a thing of the past!
This amazing tech automatically uses a combination of ISO and optical stabilization to help insure you get the SHARPEST photos possible in any given situation! LOOK:
"WAIT - What about blurry photos caused by focusing in the wrong spot?"
Hey - GLAD YOU ASKED!
This baby comes FULLY LOADED with cutting-edge FACE DETECTION too!
How's it work?
The camera is smart enough to know when you're pointing it at a person and LOCKS ON to their face as the focus point!
This baby actually KNOWS where to focus - and it's ALL AUTOMATIC!
Oh, and you can even "train" the camera to recognize faces! So, if it sees someone it "knows" in a group of people, it will place focus emphasis on them! Talk about SMART!!
PLUS - It even takes care of red-eye for ya - SWEET!!
Blink Warning:
This setting "watches" the subject and when it "sees" them smile, it takes the photo! WOW!
It Just Does Soooooo MUCH:
14MP Beautiful High Resolution Capture

Another quick run
This is a discussion on CA: Tehachapi, going towards buttonwillow within the Fun Drives forums, part of the Regional Discussion category; Another quick run...
Another quick run
This more towards Southern California?
Looks cool. I like how the train tracks do a loop. must be some serious elevation change. Haven't been to tehachapi in forever time to check it out.
This is about 35miles east of Bakersfield.
Yeah that RR loop is cool. You can see the train overlap itself. I think it was to solve the elevation problem. If it wasnt there, there would have been a problem climbing.
try the Little Tajunga canyon run from foothill north to Sand Canyon and the 14 Freeway.
20 miles of hair raising stuff with little to no traffic. Warning: Do not attempt alone. If you F-up, and go over the edge, you will rot for weeks, as there is next to no traffic up there.
Still one of the greatest drives in So-Cal.
This is one run that is just made for the WRX.
The Tehachapi Railroad Loop is a real historic deal to RR buffs. People come from many places to see it.
I think Tujunga is the way you spell it, not Tajunga (Taahunga).
Yup it is So. Calif.
I'm not 100% positive since I was driving and purposefully NOT looking at the map, but I think we were on this road during the last ITN road rally. I remember seeing some guy taking pictures of the train and think WTF? as I flew by.
Lot's o' good row-ads in the area.

Aside from that if your tractor does catch fire someday (in happens, and nobody plans for it), you have just provided a high pressure hydrocarbon injection system - can you say "adding fuel to the fire."

Check to see if the evaporator is freezing up, the evaporator is the one in the cab by the fan. Also, check to see that the sensing wire from the thermostatic switch- the one in the cab by the fan switch- is stuck into the evaporator through all the cooling coils. While you are at it make sure it-the sensing wire- is not cracked where all the gas escaped. If you park it, is there a puddle of water under the evaporator tray drain lines? If there is, it likely came from ice on the evaporator. Is the evaporator matted over with crud? Keep the windows closed if the fan is running and you are recirculating cab air.

We've got a licensed mechanic that does all of our work we won't touch. Maybe it's due to the area or the equipment we operate. But if the systems leak out over winter storage then I'll use something a little bit cheaper than than topping up with freon every year. My iron is as old as the hills.
Before parking it when your done, pressure wash and degrease everything to do with the AC, look for the oily spots next spring, that's the leak. Not to brag, but before I learned to fix AC myself, we paid the local garage twice to "FIX" the AC in our MF 4880, still leaked when they were done, paid the local Agco dealer at least twice as well to "FIX" it, still leaked, did it myself and went two years then only needed half a pound to get it full. Found a faulty o-ring in the quick disconnect at the cab, for about 10 bucks I just went ahead and replaced all the o-rings in the entire system.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
My kids (2 and 4) love both universes. Spider-Man and Batman are the top two for both.
My son loves the Avengers and Spider Man, so it's Marvel for him.
Dc and Marvel
My 11 year old daughter says marvel, the boys (ages 4-9) have no clue what I'm talking about. It's true though, while she loves teen titans all her other comic books are marvel...runaways, xmen, avengers... She even has 2 pairs of xmen shoes, specifically chosen cause they have storm on them, along with other characters.
For the record, she's wrong, DC has always been better.

Man arrested in Agoura for attempted murder
Deputies from the Lost Hills Sheriff's Station arrested a 27-year-old man in Agoura Hills in connection with an attempted murder in Malibu on Wednesday morning.
At approximately 9:30 a.m., Malibu/Lost Hills Station deputies responded to a call at the 27000 block of West Winding Way in Malibu regarding gunshots that were heard. Upon arrival, deputies found a 49-year-old man, also from Malibu but who's name was not released, sitting on the ground with an apparent gunshot wound to his chest.
A witness told deputies that a man in a black SUV was last seen leaving the location after the shots were heard. Later in the day, detectives spotted the vehicle on Kanan Road just south of Cornell Road in Agoura Hills. Deputies conducted a traffic stop and suspect Patrick Leach, 27, was arrested for attempted murder.
Evidence was recovered from the vehicle, and Leach was subsequently transported to the Malibu/Lost Hills Station where he is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail.
