While tracking clues from a secret code penciled in the margins of mystery novels at a public library, Derek Knowles-Collier discovers a time capsule, an unpublished author and a gravestone that may finally put his haunting past to rest.
At Queensview Elementary, grade-six students are required to complete a community service unit as part of their school curriculum. Derek Knowles-Collier was sick when groups were assigned, so he is stuck with what's leftover: landscape and repair duty at the local cemetery.
Derek is not happy about his assignment. When he was very young, his friend Dennis was killed by a car after running into the road to catch a ball. Ever since, Derek has had recurring nightmares, and he is afraid that spending time in a cemetery will make it even harder for him to sleep through the night.
It's a relief, therefore, when his group's lessons on all aspects of cemetery care are so interesting and strange that Derek just doesn't have time to dwell on his experience with death. And when it rains, the lessons take place in the nearby public library, which takes him out of the cemetery altogether, at least for an afternoon.
One day, a book arrives at the library, an anonymous donation that happens every year. On reading the book, Derek and his group mates find a secret code written on an inside margin. One code leads to the next, with the last code leading the students to a time capsule.
Through a series of discoveries and deductions, Derek and his friends discover who has been sending books to the library every year. They also discover the truth behind Dennis's long-ago death, which means that Derek is finally able to put his terrifying memories (and his nightmares) to rest.

This is a refresh of a previous blog post. I've come up with a few more insights about the parallels between crisis management and college basketball.
Forget the Super Bowl or the World Series. For me, the most exciting time in sports is March. That's because it's almost time for college basketball's March Madness! I love that every team in the NCAA basketball tournament – big or small – has a shot at greatness, at least for "one shining moment." After all, I am a sucker for a good Cinderella story.
I'm always amazed by how much teams must endure to make it to the Final Four and ultimately win a national championship. It's like being in constant crisis mode. Which got me thinking, are there crisis management lessons to be learned from March Madness?
Keeping with the theme of five – since five players from each team must be on the court at all times – here are my top five crisis tips learned from March Madness:

Non-traditional and under-represented students in hydrogeology: Learning by discovery in an urban environment In this quarter-long project for undergraduate geology, students work in groups to design and execute a study (including hypothesis formation, data collection, analysis, and synthesis) of a hydrologic problem and then re-evaluate old hypotheses in light of these new data.
Ornamentation in Birds In this investigation, hosted by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, students explore the occurrence of elaborate traits in birds and seek explanations for the variation in sexual dimorphism among bird species. Using the online database Birds of North America, students develop and test a set of hypotheses, combine their data, present their findings and discuss future investigations related to this topic.
The hobbit: When scientists disagree about the evidence This classroom activity, adapted from an exercise on PBS's NOVA website, provides an excellent example of an active debate within the scientific community regarding a relatively recent human fossil find, Homo floresiensis. The activity highlights the ways in which scientists can interpret scientific evidence in different ways, how scientists build arguments to support their claims, and how assumptions can influence interpretation. However, we don't recommend having students take a poll about which premise is best supported (as recommended in the teacher's guide), since this might give students the incorrect idea that scientific ideas are judged based on popularity.
The story behind the science Thirty stories spanning five disciplines help students explore key science concepts through the eyes of the scientists who were involved, emphasizing the nature and process of science. Check out the support materials for tips on using the short stories in classrooms and on building discussion around them. In addition, many of these stories can be used to emphasize the differences between the pathways taken by individual scientists. Consider using these stories as we use the Walter Alvarez story to introduce or emphasize the Understanding Science Flowchart.

WHITTIER - The images are chilling.
Photographs of a tree filled with the bodies of eight hatless men in peasant clothing hanging by the neck. A priest in his vestments and biretta, hands held together in prayer and four uniformed men a few feet away with long rifles pointed at him. Rebels hanging from telegraph poles along a road in Jalisco, Mexico.
Wander into Santi's Mexican Grill and ask about the picture of Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa on the wall, and cook and co-owner Santiago Elizondo may show you pictures from another war that happened in Mexico, the Cristero War.
The Cristero War strikes close to home for Elizondo and his family.
His great-grandfather, Lucas Elizondo of Jalisco, Mexico, was imprisoned for life in for his actions against the ranchers and ruling class of Mexico during the Cristero War.
His great-grandfather's brother, Rosario Elizondo, was one of the many Mexican peasants hung in trees.
Today is the 84th anniversary of the truce that ended the Cristero War, an uprising from 1926 to 1929, against the anti-Catholicism of the Mexican government.
Ruben Quezada, author of "For Greater Glory: The True Story of the Cristiada-The Cristero War and Mexico's Struggle for Religious Freedom," which was made into a 2012 movie staring Andy Garcia, Peter O'Toole and Eva Longoria, said in a 2012 interview for The Catholic World that the war claimed the lives of an estimated 90,000.
However, Juliette Levy, associate professor of history at UC Riverside, calls that number highly exaggerated, based on the number of casualties reported in contemporary accounts.
One of the factors that precipitated the Cristero War was the failure of the Mexican Revolution, which happened 10 years earlier, to live up to its promise of bringing a better life to Mexican peasants, Levy said. It remains a "touchy subject."
"Every Mexican family has a story about the Cristero War," she said.
The myth, however, doesn't always square with the reality that horrible acts were committed on both sides, Levy said. On June 14, 1926, Mexican President Plutarco Elias Calles enacted anticlerical legislation that, among other things, prohibited the wearing of priest's robes, saying Mass, processions in public places and many other Catholic practices.
"The trouble came when Calles mulishly attempted to enforce the laws in strongly Catholic west-central Mexico, particularly the states of Jalisco, Colima, Zacatecas, Guanjuato and Michoacan," says "Plutarco Elias Calles: Crusader in Reverse," an article on the website mexconnect.
Santiago said his ancestors in Tala, Jalisco, lived in poverty so dire that Rosario and some of his friends stole a cow.
At the time, stealing a cow or a horse was a high crime in Mexico, Levy said.
Later, the men felt guilty and confessed the theft to the local priest.
Priests are bound by the sacramental seal of the confessional not to reveal anything they hear in confession. But this priest told the rancher, Santiago Elizondo said.
"All the time, there are good people and bad people, even in the church. The rancher gives a lot of money to the church," he said. "So they feel they have to pay them back in some way.
"So the government caught them. They don't even do a court. They hang them until they are dead."
It was a sign of the times, Levy said. The peasants couldn't trust the church or the government.
Lucas Elizondo was mortified, Santiago Elizondo said.
"My great-grandfather said he was just shocked -- seeing his brother hanging on the tree," Elizondo said as he sat on a bench in his restaurant. "So he started stealing from the big ranch that belonged to the government."
Lucas Elizondo's actions in revenge for the hanging of Rosario made Lucas a wanted man. He fled to the neighboring state of Navarit, and later back to Tala, leaving a trail of several men he killed, including federals. "He was defending his life," Elizondo said.
Finally, he hid in a cemetery near home in Jalisco for two years. One of his sisters brought him food. But the federals eventually got wind of what was going on and followed the sister to the cemetery. A skirmish ensued, and Lucas was captured.
But in a twist of fate, one of the high government officials wanted Santiago Elizondo's great-grandfather taken alive. He didn't want him executed but wanted him to spend the rest of his life in jail, said Santiago.
Lucas Elizondo died in jail in 1955.
Santiago Elizondo, who was born in 1974, heard the stories from his grandfather, Miguel Elizondo. At the age of 7, Santiago began working with his grandfather, learning to slaughter cows and pigs, how to castrate pigs, how to cook menudo and carnitas.
"It was old school, in clay ovens," he said.
His mother had a small restaurant, enchiladas, sopes, gordidas. His father had a seafood restaurant that specialized in shrimp cocktail with octopus.
"I know how to cook," Elizondo said. "It comes from my grandfather, my mother, my father. They teach me everything."
But five years ago, Elizondo's grandfather died. In his will, he left the big home in Jalisco to Santiago's older brother, Miguel. Santiago was troubled, and his grandfather came to him in his dreams. Finally, in one dream, he told Santiago, "I gave you the best."
He left Santiago knowledge.
"After that I don't have dreams," he said. "I feel like whatever he teach me is more than a house, more than money. What I have will never stop."
He had left Tala in 1991.
"I don't want to be like a lot of guys in town," he said. "Get married there. Work for nothing. I want to know more."
For 18 years, he worked for United Food Group in Vernon, rising from janitor to production supervisor for his final nine years before the plant closed. Then it was back to cooking. He and his wife started a catering business, and seven months ago opened Santi's Mexican Grill.
Not surprisingly, it's a family business. He gets help from all his relatives. His nieces and nephews work there. Even his father- and mother-in-law are active in the business, setting up catering accounts.
He pauses for a thought. His great-grandfather and great-great uncle, in fact, he says, were not Cristeros. But they were poor.
"It's no excuse, and I don't feel so proud of that," Elizondo said. "But the people have to know how the life it was hard at that time. They steal a cow because they don't have anything to feed their families.
"Their situation pushed them to do that. So they confessed. So the government said, 'They're Cristeros, so we need to kill them.'"

To Supporters of Edgar J. Steele
Re: David R. Hinkson – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Docket #: 12-35824
Dear Supporters of Ed:
Not only was my husband, Edgar J. Steele falsely accused of crimes he did not commit, but the government also made false accusations against David R. Hinkson, another innocent man. Our freedoms depend upon the honesty of our judges, who are ignoring the pleas of the innocent right now, and will not even read the briefs.
I am asking you to consider signing and sending the attached letter to Chief Judge Kozinski of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, as a part of a mass effort to simply get him to do his job by reading David Hinkson's Motion for Reconsideration.
Mr. Hinkson's family has been a supporter of Ed from the beginning. They were some of the first to see the government fraud and were willing to publically and privately stand with me in my battle for Ed's freedom.
Ed is not doing well right now. He has what appears to be pneumonia, in addition to other health issues, and the prison will not allow him to see a doctor. He is suffering greatly and no one seems to be able to make the US Bureau of Prisons be accountable for his health. We are working on it and will keep you advised. Ed's appeal to the Ninth Circuit has been fully briefed and will be set for oral argument this Spring. With Ed's attorney, Robert McAllister criminally prosecuted during Ed's trial by the same government that was after Ed, we are hopeful a new trial will be granted based on the Constitutional ineffectiveness of Ed's attorney.
I am personally making this plea to help David Hinkson because, if those who believe in liberty and justice do not stand together and support one another, we surely will not be able to withstand the evil forces of government when they come to destroy the rest of us. For additional information on David Hinkson's case, go to http://www.freedavidhinkson.org .
Please take a minute to read the proposed letter to Chief Judge Kozinski and seriously consider joining us who are standing up for justice (and let me know you sent it). Please mark the envelope: "Personal & Confidential.â€
As always, your unconditional support of Ed is appreciated; indeed, I am very grateful for your help and assistance, prayers and suggestions, because I cannot do this alone.
Best regards,
Cyndi G. Steele

    Re: Court of Appeals Docket #: 12-35824
Dear Judge Kozinski:
I have been following the case of David R. Hinkson, who, although actually innocent, was falsely accused by a man who perjured himself in court conning the jury into believing he was a combat hero. Subsequently, this liar was convicted of perjury, theft, forgery and theft of valor for defrauding the government out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by telling the very same lies to the VA.
I am shocked that judges Nguyen and Fisher of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals refused to write a decision when denying Mr. Hinkson's Petition for Certificate of Appealability ("COAâ€).
Recently, Mr. Hinkson filed a Motion for Reconsideration of that denial. Since it is obvious that neither Judge Nguyen or Fisher read Hinkson's original Petition for COA, it is likely neither will read Hinkson's Motion for Reconsideration.  You as the Chief Judge have supervisory duties to the public to ensure that the judges of the Ninth Circuit do their job.
I am requesting that you read Mr. Hinkson's 15 page Motion for Reconsideration which sets forth the absolute rules of law requiring that Mr. Hinkson be granted a COA.  All it takes is a showing that at least one "jurist of reason†could disagree with the trial court.  In fact, there are six "jurists of reason†who sit on the Ninth Circuit, yourself included, who have already disagreed, and continue to disagree with the trial court.
There are growing numbers in the community who are beginning to ask: What does it take to get Mr. Hinkson a fair hearing with judges who will do their job?
Therefore, I implore you as a man of conscience, PLEASE READ Mr. Hinkson's recently filed Motion for Reconsideration in the above case.  Additionally, I strongly urge you to take the lead in this matter and insure that other judges also read this Motion for Reconsideration and read the underlying Petition for Certificate of Appealability and act on it according to U.S. Supreme Court and Ninth Circuit law so that finally, like in the Phelps case, Mr. Hinkson may obtain justice.  The future depends on the integrity of our judges and we need to know that the petitions of the people are not being ignored.

Tax on air fares to help out Africa
Page Tools
The Group of Eight industrialised nations have decided to consider imposing a levy on airline tickets to finance extra aid for Africa, a proposal which has run into opposition in Europe and the US.
After a meeting of G8 finance ministers in London on Saturday agreed to write off poor country debts, German Finance Minister Hans Eichel said the group was now working on using income from airline traffic to help aid.
"The air ticket tax: this is now on the working program of the G8. No one in the G8 has said anything against it. It's now on the agenda," Mr Eichel said.
Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown said the G8 was happy to work with the French and German governments, which were looking at how the airline ticket levy would finance aid.
A proposed voluntary airline tax on flight tickets sold in the European Union to help fund extra aid for Africa had faced opposition within Europe.
The US also opposed the idea and US Treasury Secretary John Snow made clear the US position had not changed.
However, Mr Snow said if other countries wanted to look at proposals to fund aid for Africa in this way, the US would have no objections.

Student ID Badge Policy (7th - 12th Grades)
Student ID Cards & Lanyards
In an effort to promote College and Career Readiness, students in seventh grade through 12th grade will have the ability to possess their ID cards in a number of ways-- on a lanyard, in their wallets, or in their pockets—while on campus in order to more closely mirror college, career and real-life expectations and procedures.
- Students shall have their ID on them at all times. If students opt to wear a lanyard, it must be a TUSD one.
- Students will need their ID to check books, verify identification if they commit an infraction or there is a reasonable suspicion they committed a behavioral infraction, they are referred to the Dean, etc.
- If students repeatedly do not have their ID when it's needed (no exact number but a pattern is recognized), they should be referred to the Dean.
- The emphasis is on teaching students responsible behavior and holding them accountable to carrying an ID, not tracking their lack of an ID and tracking repeat consequences.

In technical analysis of securities trading, the stochastic oscillator is a momentum indicator that uses support and resistance levels. Dr. George Lane promoted this indicator in the 1950s. The term stochastic refers to the location of a current price in relation to its price range over a period of time.[1] This method attempts to predict price turning points by comparing the closing price of a security to its price range.
The indicator is defined as follows:
There is only one valid signal in working with %D — a divergence between %D and the analyzed security.[2]
Definition Edit
The calculation above finds the range between an asset's high and low price during a given period of time. The current security's price is then expressed as a percentage of this range with 0% indicating the bottom of the range and 100% indicating the upper limits of the range over the time period covered. The idea behind this indicator is that prices tend to close near the extremes of the recent range before turning points. The Stochastic oscillator is calculated:
- Where
- is the last closing price
- is the lowest price over the last N periods
- is the highest price over the last N periods
- is a 3-period exponential moving average of %K, .
- is a 3-period exponential moving average of %D, .
- Where
A 3-line Stochastics will give an anticipatory signal in %K, a signal in the turnaround of %D at or before a bottom, and a confirmation of the turnaround in %D-Slow.[3] Typical values for N are 5, 9, or 14 periods. Smoothing the indicator over 3 periods is standard.
Dr. George Lane, a financial analyst, is one of the first to publish on the use of stochastic oscillators to forecast prices. According to Lane, the Stochastics indicator is to be used with cycles, Elliot Wave Theory and Fibonacci retracement for timing. In low margin, calendar futures spreads, one might use Wilders parabolic as a trailing stop after a stochastics entry. A centerpiece of his teaching is the divergence and convergence of trendlines drawn on stochastics, as diverging/converging to trendlines drawn on price cycles. Stochastics predicts tops and bottoms.
Interpretation Edit
The signal to act is when there is a divergence-convergence, in an extreme area, with a crossover on the right hand side, of a cycle bottom.[2] As plain crossovers can occur frequently, one typically waits for crossovers occurring together with an extreme pullback, after a peak or trough in the %D line. If price volatility is high, an exponential moving average of the %D indicator may be taken, which tends to smooth out rapid fluctuations in price.
Stochastics attempts to predict turning points by comparing the closing price of a security to its price range. Prices tend to close near the extremes of the recent range just before turning points. In the case of an uptrend, prices tend to make higher highs, and the settlement price usually tends to be in the upper end of that time period's trading range. When the momentum starts to slow, the settlement prices will start to retreat from the upper boundaries of the range, causing the stochastic indicator to turn down at or before the final price high.[4]
An alert or set-up is present when the %D line is in an extreme area and diverging from the price action. The actual signal takes place when the faster % K line crosses the % D line.[5]
Divergence-convergence is an indication that the momentum in the market is waning and a reversal may be in the making. The chart below illustrates an example of where a divergence in stochastics, relative to price, forecasts a reversal in the price's direction.
An event known as "stochastic pop" occurs when prices break out and keep going. This is interpreted as a signal to increase the current position, or liquidate if the direction is against the current position.[6]

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 750547
CVE-2011-4885 php: hash table collisions CPU usage DoS (oCERT-2011-003)
Last modified: 2015-11-24 09:43:44 EST
Julian Wälde and Alexander Klink reported a flaw in the hash function used in the implementation of the PHP arrays. PHP arrays are implemented using the hash table that maps keys to values:
A specially-crafted set of keys could trigger hash function collisions, which degrade hash table performance by changing hash table operations complexity from an expected/average O(1) to the worst case O(n). Reporters were able to find colliding strings efficiently using equivalent substrings or meet in the middle techniques.
As PHP automatically pre-fills certain arrays (such as $_POST, $_GET, or $_COOKIE) with data from the HTTP request before executing a script, a remote attacker could use this flaw to make PHP use excessive amount of CPU time by sending a POST request with large amount of parameters which hash to the same value.
This problem is similar to the issue that was previously reported for and fixed in e.g. perl:
Red Hat would like to thank oCERT for reporting this issue. oCERT acknowledges Julian Wälde and Alexander Klink as the original reporters.
Upstream patches that add max_input_vars configuration directive to limit the number of parameters that will be parsed to $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE arrays from the HTTP requests:
Reporter mentioned that two PHP config variables can mitigate the effect of the attack.
1. post_max_size
This limits the size of the data which can be sent in a POST request. This is effective in controlling this attack to some extent. When running the reproducer I see the following lines in the log file.
[Tue Dec 20 01:25:11 2011] [error] [client 10.0.0.1] PHP Warning: Unknown: POST Content-Length of 34000000 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0
If anything exceeds post_max_size, $_POST and $_FILES will be empty. However a downside is that, since this value affects file upload as well, the value of this configuration directive is often increased to accommodate upload of larger files. The default value of 8M allows attacker to trigger this attack.
2. max_input_time
This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to parse input data, like POST and GET parameters. Setting this to a lower value (10s in my case) shows the following in the log files:
[Tue Dec 20 02:04:51 2011] [error] [client 10.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 10 seconds exceeded in Unknown on line 0
Following which PHP stops processing the script and CPU usage goes back to normal. The default value is 60, due to which the script execution will get killed after 60 seconds.
I am able to successfully reproduce this on rhel-6 and rhel-5 (both php and php53). On both of these, the above mitigations work.
In case of rhel-4, php sets memory_limit in php.ini as 8M as opposed to 128M in the case of other rhels. This results in php being killed before the 60 second execution limit is reached, with the following error in the logs.
Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 51 bytes)
This issue affects the version of php as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5 and 6. This issue affects the version of php53 as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
This issue affects the version of php as shipped with Fedora release 15 and 16.
Upstream has reported an issue in the patches described in comment #8:

A man has been arrested after a shopkeeper was threatened with a golf club.
A fight is believed to have broken out before threats at the newsagents in Shelvers Hill, Tadworth, just before 5pm on Friday.
The store worker and man with the golf club are thought to know to each other and minor injuries were reportedly sustained.
A man in his 60s has been arrested on suspicion of affray, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and driving while under the influence of drink or drugs.
He has been bailed until Wednesday, May 7, while the police investigation continues.
Investigating Officer Dave Evans said: "I believe there were a number of people either in the store or in the vicinity of the shop when this incident occurred and I urge those witnesses to contact police with information.
"Although someone has been arrested in connection with the threats and a number of witnesses have already been traced other people may hold information vital to our investigation."
Anyone with information should call Surrey Police on 101, quoting reference 45140017752, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Jonathan E Murr
Seattle Campus
Introduces cultural studies as an interdisciplinary field and practice. Explores multiple histories of the field with an emphasis on current issues and developments. Focuses on culture as a site of political and social debate and struggle. Offered: AWSp.
Class description
Introduction to Cultural Studies: Race and Violence in US Modernity
This course is intended to introduce students to some of the ways cultural studies is practiced (and contested) as an interdisciplinary form of knowledge production. Rather than attempting to nail down a fixed definition of this notoriously complex field, we will familiarize ourselves with some key theories, methods and practices that emerge from thinkers associated with the Birmingham School (such as Stuart Hall and Raymond Williams) and from some anti-racist, marxist and feminist practitioners working in the US. These thinkers will give us a working set of terms for talking about culture, race and racism, and a framework for engaging with our course theme, Race and Violence in US Modernity. Instead of just focusing on the violence we encounter every day in popular culture (in films, music, TV, video games, etc.), we will try to think critically about forms of systemic violence. Specifically, we will focus on ongoing histories of racialized and gendered violence in the US, and we will ask what it means in our allegedly post-racial or colorblind moment that peoples' basic life chances continue to be produced along the lines of race (and gender, sexuality and class). We will understand culture as the site in which violences are lived (or experienced), represented and always struggled over, so our primary task will be to explore the work of cultural texts and cultural politics in helping to create and contest the violences of our present.
In addition to the critical and theoretical works listed above, we will look at a *small* number of cultural texts drawn from among the following: the novels White Boy Shuffle by Paul Beatty, Kindred or Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler, and/or Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy; the films Life and Debt, Children of Men, When the Levees Broke, and/or Sin Nombre; poems by Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, Amber Flame and Suheir Hammad; visual art by Kara Walker, Ashley Hunt, and/or Trevor Paglen; music by Mos Def, Aceyalone, Blue Scholars, and/or M.I.A. We may also sample a few short critical/theoretical works by scholars such as Avery Gordon, Lisa Lowe, Robin Kelley, Jacqueline Goldsby, Michael Taussig, Cornell West, and Ruth Wilson Gilmore.
Assessment will be based on thoughtful, active participation in class and online discussions, four short response papers, a group presentation or performance, and either a project proposal for a cultural studies project or a take-home final exam. (Any of the works listed above that are not assigned for the course may be used as material for the group presentations and/or project proposals.) Required books will be available through the University Bookstore. A small course reader will be available at the Ave Copy Center.

Raiders head coach Dennis Allen and the coaching staff sat a total of 18 players, including starting quarterback Matt Schaub who has battled elbow soreness recently.
Schaub sitting gave the start to rookie quarterback Derek Carr who shined and could have created a quarterback controversy with just one week until the Raiders open the regular season in New York against the Jets.
Russell Wilson and the Seahawks starting offense jumped to a quick 7-0 lead when he found his tight end Luke Wilson in the end zone for the touchdown after a four-play drive that went 80 yards in just 1:45. Linebacker Kaluka Maiava got beat pretty badly on the touchdown play.
Carr orchestrated a touchdown drive of his own on the ensuing drive, going 68 yards on 12 plays with running back Latavius Murray punching it in from five yards out to tie the game.
Carr wouldn't need to work as hard on his next drive as the Seahawks would fumble the ensuing kickoff to give the ball to the Raiders at the 36 yard line. Carr used just one play to throw a perfect ball to a streaking Denarius Moore down the right sideline for the go-ahead touchdown.
Rookie cornerback TJ Carrie kept the Raiders momentum going after a Seahawks three and out, returning the punt 44 yards to give Carr the ball at the Seahawks 20-yard line. Again, Carr needed just one play to get the Raiders offense back into the end zone, though he needed a little bit of help this time. Carr threw a laser down the middle to have the ball tipped but then caught nicely by tight end Mychal Rivera to put the Raiders up 21-7.
But Carr still wasn't finished with his first NFL start.
On his fourth and final drive of the game, Carr led the offense 61 yards on eight plays that culminated in a beautifully-thrown back shoulder pass to Denarius Moore from 11 yards out. The score made Carr a perfect 4 for 4 in terms of touchdown drives, and gave him a final stat line of 11 for 13 for 143 yards and three touchdowns, good enough for a passer rating of 152.1.
Carr would leave early in the second quarter after giving the Raiders a 28-7 lead.
The Seahawks would finally get back on the board in the second quarter when a Seattle cornerback picked off McGloin and returned it back for a six.
McGloin would bounce back on his next drive, leading the offense to another touchdown drive in eight plays for 55 yards. McGloin found his seemingly favorite receiver Brice Butler in the back of the end zone for a 15 yard touchdown and the 35-14 lead. It was the fourth time that the wide receiver and quarterback connected for a touchdown this preseason.
Former Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor would use the little amount of time on the clock to get his offense back into the end zone one last time before halftime. Pryor threw a nice deep ball down the right sideline to Phil Bates who beat Neiko Thorpe to bring the halftime score to 35-21.
The only score of the third quarter came when backup kicker Giorgio Tavecchio knocked a 47-yard field goal through the uprights late in the third quarter.
Pryor got the Seahawks back on the scoreboard on the ensuing drive to open up the fourth quarter. Pryor set it up with a well-thrown ball to Bryan Walters over the trailing TJ Carrie for a big gain.
The Raiders defense held, forcing a Seahawks field goal to bring the score to 38-24. Pryor's night would end with him finishing 11 for 17 for 134 yards and one touchdown.
Third-string quarterback B.J. Daniels would get the Seahawks back into the end zone when he found Walters on a little screen for the touchdown to bring the Raiders lead to just one score at 38-31.
The Seahawks went for the onside kick but undrafted free agent Seth Roberts came up with the recovery to give the Raiders the ball with just under four minutes remaining.
The Raiders would capitalize by converting on a field goal to give them the final score of 41-31. The Raiders will head to New York later this week to open up the regular season against the Jets.

Roman literature is inherently political in the varied contexts of its production and the abiding concerns of its subject matter. This collection examines the strategies and techniques of political writing at Rome in a broad range of literature spanning almost two centuries, differing political systems, climates, and contexts. It applies a definition of politics that is more in keeping with modern critical approaches than has often been the case in studies of the political literature of classical antiquity. By applying a wide variety of critically informed viewpoints, this volume offers the …

Spicy Tuna Rillettes
Rillettes is a traditional spread made from meat, poultry or fish that has been slowly cooked with fat, then pulverized and packed into a crock or ramekin. This is a twist on that classic. Pascal Rigo likes to drizzle it with pepper-infused olive oil just before serving.
- Total Time:
- Servings: Makes 2 1/2 cups
- 3/4 pound fatty tuna belly
- 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 10 brined green peppercorns, drained and finely chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt
- Crackers or toasts, for serving
How to make this recipe
Fit a medium pot with a steamer insert. Add 1 inch of water to the pot and bring it to a boil. Add the tuna and steam until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Let cool. Flake the tuna into a medium bowl; don't remove the fat. Gently stir in the cilantro, scallions, butter, green peppercorns, lemon juice and cayenne.
In a small bowl, beat the cream until stiff. Fold the cream into the tuna and season with salt. Transfer to a crock and serve at room temperature or slightly chilled with crackers.
Make Ahead
The tuna rillettes can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
Suggested Pairing
This spicy dish finds its match in a broad-flavored California Chardonnay.

The Pearl of the Highlands
We depart from Reykjavík and head to the interior geothermal area Landmannalaugar, often referred to as "The Pearl of the Central Highlands". We journey through the beautiful countryside of southern Iceland and proceed into the highlands through Þjórsárdalur valley and visit Hjálparfoss waterfall. Landmannalaugar's colorful mountains are formed by centuries of volcanic activity in the area and the picturesque natural landscape in this raw climate is simply breathtaking. While there, we can enjoy a relaxing bath in a natural warm pool which was created when many hot and cold springs in the area combined, or take a leisurely hike in the surrounding rhyolite mountain paths.The tour continues back to the west and past Iceland's most infamous and active volcano, Hekla, which was believed to be the gateway to hell during the Middle Ages. The volcano has had frequent eruptions in the past years and has left thick layers of ash and pumice over the landscape. We return to Reykjavík over Hellisheiði mountain heath.
We recommend you bring your bathing suit and a towel.

The new car enables Minardi to run up-to-date Cosworth engines and team boss Paul Stoddart hopes the PS05 can overhaul rival minnows Jordan.
"The PS05 looks very promising indeed in terms of our quest for ninth in the constructors' championship," he said.
"The true potential of the new car, however, will be revealed in the coming races, as the engineers and technicians come fully to understand the machine."
The Cosworth engine has powered Red Bull to 12 points so far this season.
It is the first time in several seasons that Stoddart's team have enjoyed a parity of engine supply.
But that will not last long as Cosworth are planning an engine upgrade that will only be available to Red Bull.
Cosworth managing director, Tim Routsis, said: "An upgraded engine is scheduled for introduction with Red Bull Racing at the Indianapolis Grand Prix or the Canadian Grand Prix, depending on when the scheduled engine change occurs.
"It will be exclusive to Red Bull Racing and a development version with a gain of 30bhp has already been successfully track-tested by the team."
But Stoddart remains upbeat about the immediate future, adding that Friday's unveiling marked "the true start of our 2005 season".
Minardi had a controversial start to the campaign - attempting to race in the opening Grand Prix in Australia with last year's cars, which did not conform to new aerodynamics regulations.
Stoddart fought a legal battle to win the right to race, and after securing a temporary injunction to compete in practice and Saturday's qualifying in Melbourne, he dropped the action.
Minardi mechanics hastily converted the 2004 cars to comply with the new rules, to the approval of the race officials.

When most discerning hobbyists begin their search for an old school muscle car to show and enjoy, they usually have three basic criteria. First and foremost, they want something that's super cool. Secondly, they want something that's correct. And last but not least, they want something that doesn't require a second job to finance. Fortunately, the gearheads at RK Motors Charlotte pride themselves on specializing in first rate classics of all kinds, and they always have cars, like this awesome '67 Buick, that are a perfect fit for anyone. With a 430 cubic inch Wildcat V8, a stylish Black interior and striking Plum paint, it's certainly some of the coolest metal to ever roll out of Detroit. Thanks to years of meticulous preservation, it can be paraded without worry. And as a virtually untouched survivor that's priced at only $50K, it's the bargain of the century! So, if you're in the market for a fully pedigreed classic that combines tons of character with an unbeatable price, this unique Riviera is the car of your dreams!
Inspired by Bill Mitchell's love of hand-built London coaches, the second generation Riviera features a classy body shell that conveys a sense of style and sophistication perfectly befitting its exotic name. And the incredible shell you see here, a stunning Riviera Plum survivor, wears completely original aesthetics that have been exceptionally maintained. Consistently providing its various owners with rock-solid reliability and a sense of custom-tailored comfort, the car has never been separated from its chassis. Original chrome and stainless, which exhibit minimal signs of wear, show almost as well as the day they left the dealership. And presently, this Buick's desirability as something that's as rare as it is unique is both genuine and fitting.
While the exterior of this slick E-Body does an excellent job posing for world-class visuals, the engine compartment is where Buick purists REALLY start to take notice. And for good reason too, because the car's original, 360 horsepower Wildcat V8 is the kind of powerhouse that makes people either put up or shut up. Turn the key and a big Rochester carburetor mixes wind from a dressed and decaled air cleaner with fuel from a carefully bent fluid line, and shoves it in to a correct, cast iron intake. Fire for that air/fuel mixture is provided by a traditional points distributor, which shoots spark around red, "430-4" branded valve covers via familiar Packard TV R Suppression cables. Spent gases from that air/fuel mixture are jetted through original, cast iron exhaust manifolds. At the front of the engine, pliable belts and hoses snake around factory power steering, a Delco-Remy alternator and a correct Frigidaire AC compressor. Details like a Delco-Remy coil, a blue AC breather and an even coat of bright red paint appear to keep this coveted GM, all GM. Oh, and did I mention that the mill centers a matching partial VIN between a '67-specific "ND" assembly stamp and correct 1381625 casting number?
At the bottom of this survivor a clean undercarriage tells a long story of excellent maintenance and carefully chosen road time. Naturally, that hot 430 needed a tough drivetrain to effectively establish street cred, so Buick opted for GM's rugged Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed. That proven Super Turbine, branded with a correct "BT-67" assembly tag, spins a correct, limited-slip differential around beefy, 3.07 gears. The aforementioned power steering combines with an original suspension and Buick's familiar power-assisted drums to provide good stops and competent handling. Spent gases flow through factory pipes, which employ correct, GM-stamped mufflers. At the corners of that chassis, polished Buick Sport wheels spin 8.45-15 Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewalls around stylish Riviera center caps. The car's straight and solid floorpans still feature 99% of their Satin Black undercoating. And, based on a quick visual inspection, all of this Buick's hardware and bushings appear to be in good, road-ready condition.
Inside this old school tri-shield you'll find a correct Black interior that appears to be untouched original equipment. At the center of the car, vinyl bucket and bench seats ride on clean black carpet that's protected by Buick-branded mats. In front of those seats, a warp-free dash hangs a rolling speedometer next to a premium Sonomatic radio. At the base of that dash, a full console frames an aircraft-style shifter. Opposite that console, stylish door panels position chrome handles, small Riviera emblems and crack-free armrests beneath bright satin trim. In front of the driver, a large-diameter steering wheel laps an elegant Riviera logo. And behind the passengers, a matted trunk features plenty of storage space.
This Buick's original Protect-O-Plate, which is included with our sale, breaks down as follows:
- 668 – Black vinyl interior
- UU – Riviera Plum paint
- 494877HXXXXXX – The car's VIN
- — 4: Buick Motor Division

- — 87: 2-door sport coupe hardtop

- — 517: Assembled on June 1, 1967
- 24 – Optional equipment
- The aforementioned Protect-O-Plate
- An original Owner's Manual
In summary, this Riviera is a phenomenal classic. Its killer Wildcat V8 will cruise effortlessly at will, and its slick body and first class interior are ready to garner serious stares. With the GS and Grand National casting such long shadows, it seems pretty hard to find nice Buick muscle cars. When "survivor" is added to the mix, you're treading pretty deep in to "one-of-a-kind" territory. And when you debate the merit of "one-of-a-kind" for too long, it's easy to slip in to "regret". Don't slip in to "regret" take home this unique and affordable tri-shield today!
