Lakers complete sweep over Jazz
SALT LAKE CITY(AP) Kobe Bryant scored 32 points, Pau Gasol added 33 points and 14 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers completed a four-game sweep of the Utah Jazz with a 111-96 victory on Monday night, advancing to the Western Conference finals for the third straight year.
The Lakers quickly ended the Jazz's hopes of extending the series by pulling ahead by 22 in the second quarter. Utah got within five in the third, but couldn't sustain the comeback against the defending NBA champions, who made very few mistakes and didn't give the Jazz many chances to rally.
Los Angeles had just six turnovers and made 29-of-36 foul shots while knocking Utah out of the playoffs for the third straight year. The Lakers are off until hosting the Phoenix Suns next Monday in Game 1 of the West finals.
Deron Williams led Utah with 21 points and nine assists.
Carlos Boozer had 10 points and 14 rebounds, and Kyrylo Fesenko added 12 rebounds for Utah, which was swept for the first time in 21 years.
The Jazz lost the first three games by single digits but never found a way to slow down Bryant, who scored 30 or more in all four games. The Lakers finally got a blowout in the final game and by doing so earned a week of rest.
Shannon Brown scored 12 and Lamar Odom added 10 points for the Lakers.
C.J. Miles scored 15, Wesley Matthews had 12 and Paul Millsap scored 21 off the bench.
Utah fans started leaving early and the small contingent wearing gold Lakers' jerseys chanted ``Sweep! Sweep! Sweep!'' The Jazz hadn't been swept since Golden State knocked them out 3-0 in the first round of the 1989 playoffs.
Lakers-Jazz Quotes
Lakers' Coach Phil Jackson on Utah:
"As always I usually want to spend a little time talking about Utah and the great year they have had.
Losing Okur and some injuries they have had (Kirilenko, ect…). It changed up their season but they had
a really good year. Played great ball the last half of the season for sure."On the game:
"We had one of our better games tonight. They came out the third quarter and got into it. I was a little
disappointed on how we handled it but we recovered and came back at the end of that quarter and kind
of you know were able to finish the game the right way."On Pau and Kobe:
"Pau had a really terrific game. Kobe was persistent, aggressive and stayed how he is in the course of
the second half to carry this lead."On their adjustments:
"Well we just talked about how they were pushing the ball down our throat. They really came out and just
attacked us. One of the best features about t hem is Williams attacking us and if he wasn't getting to the
basket and getting a foul he is making plays for other guys inside. We just said we have to lull the ball off
and stop it. We got a couple of stops and that changed the tide."
Lakers' Kobe Bryant on the Lakers play from the end of the season into the postseason:
"We just got better. We just continued to work. We improved as a ball club."On what he said to Wesley Matthews:
"I just told him way to battle. I enjoy seeing players who seemingly come from nowhere, guys who are
undrafted. They have to work for everything they get. I have a great sense of appreciation for players like
that."On whether or not it feels like a sweep:
"Any time you play a Sloan team you are going to feel it after every game. Physically you are going to
feel it. His teams compete, they play hard and they are physical. (So) in that regard no."On the Phoenix Suns:
"We are very familiar with them as well. The difference with how they played when we met them in the
regular season and how they play now, I think, is just confidence. They believe in what they are doing.
Obviously things became a little more stable after the trade deadline with what Amare has been doing.
They want it. They are very, very hungry."
Lakers' Andrew Bynum on the sweep:
"It's the first sweep that I've been a part of and it just feels good. Get that team (Jazz) out of here, focus,
and go onto the next one. Now we've got a week off, which is good for me."On how they are playing now vs. the end of the year:
"In playoff basketball we have another gear. I think we're playing like that right now as a team.
Collectively we just picked it up. When we get to the playoffs we're focused."
Lakers' Pau Gasol on his play tonight:
"I'm happy with the way I played tonight, but I'm more happy with the way we are playing. I think we are
doing a really good job collectively, and we are improving as every game goes by and we are just getting
better and better. It's really satisfying and I look forward to the next series. I look forward to a couple of
days of rest, but I really look forward to starting it up against a very good Phoenix team."
Lakers' Ron Artest on how they found energy up 3-0 in the series:
"We just played the same way we've been playing. I guess we're improving a little bit. We just played
hard. We didn't really focus on being up 3-0. We just moved on to the next game."On the upcoming Phoenix series:
"We played them this year and I think they're better hour. So we've got to come with our "A" effort. We
have a whole week to prepare, so that's great."
Utah Jazz Coach Jerry Sloan on the game:
"First of all, I'd like to congratulate the Lakers and Phil Jackson. They're a terrific team and we had a
difficult time playing against them. We wish them nothing but the best. They have a great team."On how tough it was to be swept for the first time in franchise history:
"Well, it's always that way at the end of the year, unless you win the championship. You end up on the
losing team, unless you win the championship, and we've never done that. It's always very, very difficult,
but that's the part of basketball that you hopefully can overcome and get ready to go again the next time.
That's what you ask your players to do, and try to stay together and move on."On losing to the Lakers after upsetting the Nuggets:
"We knew they were a great team, and I don't think anybody had us picked to beat them. But we came
out, and I thought we tried very hard to play against them, and that's all you can do. You put your best
foot forward to try to play against them, and we had some good moments and some moments that
weren't very good, but we're playing a lot of young guys, and I think some of the experiences they got in
the playoffs should help their career advance and move forward. There has to be something positive out
of everything that happens in basketball."
Utah Jazz Deron Williams on the game:
"Once we got down a little bit it was kind of like déjà vu for us. We were (already) down 3-0 and
then when you get down 10-12 points to this team (it's tough). We came back in the second half
we tried to fight, which we are proud of, even though they still beat us by a good amount. We
put up a fight; they are just a better team."On the team's future
"We're a playoff team, just not a championship team. I think we still need a couple more pieces
and until we get those pieces we'll be a four or five seed . . . it's a challenge."
Utah Jazz Carlos Boozer on the game:
"It was tough to sit there. I thought we were trying to battle back and get a win tonight. We just got beat
by a better team. I was disappointed in our effort. I didn't play my best game and our team didn't play its
best game of the series. It's disappointing that we lost in that fashion.
"I expected us to win tonight and take it back to Los Angeles. We didn't. We made a run. We are not
going to give up."
Utah Jazz Paul Millsap on the game tonight:
"We are not going to make any excuses. We came in undersized with a few guys out starting the
playoffs. We got through adversity this season and we will take that as a plus and try to come back
strong next year."What can Jazz to do get better next year:
"Mature. Mature. We are just young on the court, not by age, but basketball wise. We got caught not
making basketball plays out there. We just need to go out there and execute and we caught ourselves
not doing that this series. We need to get better and learn the game more."On the series:
"They swept us, something that nobody expected to happen. We didn't expect that to happen and I'm
sure they didn't expect that to happen. They are good team."
Utah Jazz Wesley Matthews on the Lakers:
"They are a great team, top to bottom. Kobe Bryant's resume speaks for itself. He is going to get his. Ron
Artest had a great series, Fish had a great series, Pau Gasol had a great series."On the game:
"We wanted to go out and fight tonight, but we didn't fight early enough."
On playing in Utah
"I love it. They gave me a chance when nobody else did."
Carlos Boozer
Utah Jazz Kyle Korver on his hot shooting night:
"I got a couple of good looks early and found a little rhythm. The more shots you hit, the
tougher shots you're looking to take. They kind of fell asleep a couple of times and I got a
couple of threes off it. It just wasn't enough."
On the inbounds' steal with 4.4 second left in the game
"I saw (Ron) Artest looking at (Pau) Gasol. He saw an advantage in height on me obviously. I
figured the ball was going to go to him and tried to body him up. AK was all over Artest and I
was able to slide in front. It came right to me, but that's ball pressure. That's what happens
sometimes at the end of the game."
On Andrei Kirilenko
"He brought a lot. Obviously, he gives us a huge lift. He played really well. He had a lot of
energy. Right away he had like four rebounds and a blocked shot. He can be a really big part
of the series."
On the Lakers
"They have a great inside and outside game. You take away one and they go to the other.
Kobe made some big threes. He has shot the ball well the whole series. I would say their
inside game is better than their outside game. That's what makes them so tough and that's
what we tried to focus on."
Lakers-Jazz Preview
SALT LAKE CITY (AP)—The Los Angeles Lakers may have learned something in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
Don't let the series go any longer than it has to.
The Lakers are a victory away from sweeping the Utah Jazz and want to lock up a third straight trip to the Western Conference finals as soon as possible. Game 4 is Monday night in Utah, where the Lakers edged the Jazz 111-110 on Saturday for a 3-0 series lead.
"You never know what can happen in a series. You extend a series, ankles can get turned, knuckles can get bruised, knowing there's things like that …" Lakers guard Kobe Bryant said Sunday.
The hypotheticals of bad things that could happen is long, something the Lakers learned when they took a 2-0 lead on Oklahoma City in the first round and needed six games to advance after the Thunder won two at home.
Bryant said the Lakers' edge and attitude they had while winning the NBA title a year ago is back.
"We're there. We've got it," he said. "The competition from Oklahoma, probably. That's probably what did it."
The Jazz have pushed the Lakers in each of the first three games, but Los Angeles has held on to win all three by a total of 14 points. Saturday's game was especially gut-wrenching for the Jazz, who had two shots bounce off the rim in the final seconds. Had either gone in, Utah would be looking to tie the series Monday instead of trying to avoid the team's first sweep in a best-of-seven series.
"If we get the ball in the basket last night in the end of the ballgame it's a different day," Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. "But that's part of it. You learn how to deal with the good and bad in life. There's always going to be both at different times."
The Lakers have knocked the Jazz out of the last two playoffs, starting in 2008 with a 4-2 win in the second round. Last year it was 4-1, so 4-0 and a possible long break before the Western finals is sounding pretty good.
"They're not going to quit," said Lakers guard Derek Fisher, who played one season in Utah three years ago. "If we don't beat them they'll just continue to take it one game at a time and try and work their way back in the series."
Fisher hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 28.6 seconds left on Saturday, giving the Lakers the lead for good, 109-108. He had been booed all night, as he has been in Utah since asking the Jazz to release him from his contract so he could move his family closer to a city where his 1-year-old daughter could get specialized treatment for a cancerous tumor in her eye.
He ended up signing as a free agent with the Lakers, which some Jazz fans won't seem to forgive. The relentless boos and chants of "Fisher Sucks!" are not sitting well with Fisher's teammates on the Lakers.
"That's just bad people, doing stuff like that," Bryant said. "Not about that. You don't boo about that."
Monday will be Utah fans' last look at Fisher unless the Jazz can win two and bring the series back to Salt Lake City for a Game 6 on Friday. The Jazz need to survive Monday before considering what could happen after that.
The Jazz did what they wanted by limiting the Lakers' size advantage, but it cost Utah when Bryant, Fisher and Ron Artest combined to hit 10 of the Lakers' 13 3-pointers.
"Down the stretch, we made big shots. We've got guys that aren't scared to take them," Bryant said. "All across the board, guys will step up and they make them. That's why we never really fret when it's a five-point game or a two-point game with a couple minutes to go. "
It's also why the Jazz were still dismayed when they returned to practice Sunday morning, knowing they were inches away from being down only 2-1 instead of 3-0.
Deron Williams was just off on a shot from the top of the key that would have won it and Wesley Matthews' tip on the rebound bounced off the rim at the buzzer.
Matthews was still shaking his head as he thought about the play, which he said he had been doing most of the night. He said the mental replay was enough and he didn't want to watch the actual video footage.
"I'm not going to watch the replay. I was looking at it. I saw it not go in one time and that was enough," Matthews said.

Lakers-Jazz Scouting Report
Obviously no one expects the Utah Jazz to just roll over. Jerry Sloan didn't operate that way as a player and none of his teams have played that way in his 22 years as head coach. We know that if we want to end this series tonight we will have to play smarter and harder than we did in game 3. There is enough to motivate us because if we can improve our performance and get a win tonight in addition to moving on in the playoffs to the Western Conference Finals, we will have earned some rest due to the fact that the next series will not start for a number of days.

BRYANT NAMED TO ALL-NBA FIRST TEAM; 5th STRAIGHT FIRST TEAM SELECTION, 8th FIRST TEAM NOD IN LAST 9 YEARS
On May 6th, the NBA announced its 2009-10 All-NBA Teams with Kobe Bryant earning First Team honors for the 5th consecutive season and 8th time in the last nine years. Among all active players, only Tim Duncan (9) has earned more First Team selections than Bryant. Third in voting behind unanimous selections LeBron James (122 First Team votes, 610 points) and Dwight Howard (122 First Team votes, 610 points), Bryant (119 First Team votes, 604 points) ranked 4th in the NBA in scoring (27.0 points) while averaging 5.0 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game. Helping lead the Lakers to the best record in the Western Conference for the third consecutive season (57- 25) and the franchise's 21st Pacific Division title, Bryant has now been named to 12 All-NBA Teams overall (8 First, 2 Second, 2 Third). Joining Bryant, Howard and James on the First Team are Miami's Dwyane Wade and Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant.
On May 6th, the NBA announced its 2009-10 All-NBA Teams with Pau Gasol earning All-NBA honors for the second consecutive season and second time in his career. Named to the All-NBA Third Team, Gasol finished with the 14th most points (94) in balloting. Ranking among league leaders in field goal % (11th/.536), blocks (8th/1.74) and minutes (21st/37.0) despite missing 17 games due to injury, Gasol was named a 2010 Western Conference All-Star for the third time in his career, earned Western Conference Player of the Week honors (3/22/10) Awards in February and was named European Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. Gasol is now one of 12 Lakers to earn multiple All-NBA honors in franchise history (Abdul-Jabbar, Baylor, Bryant, Johnson, Martin, Mikan, Mikkelsen, Pollard, O'Neal, West, Worthy).
Since the NBA went to the Conference format prior to the 1970-71 season, the Lakers have now held the #1 seed 16 times (1972, 1977, 1980, 1982-90, 2000, 2008, 2009, 2010), winning the West 12 times and the NBA Championship on eight occasions. This is the 11th time the Lakers have owned the #1 seed since the current format featuring 16 teams was instituted prior to the 1984 NBA Playoffs. With their victory over the Thunder in the 2010 Western Conference First Round, the Lakers improved to 11-0 in the First Round as the Conference #1 seed since 1984. Overall, as the Conference #1 seed, the Lakers are now 181-85 (.680) all-time in the playoffs.
BRYANT NAMED TO ALL-DEFENSIVE FIRST TEAM FOR 5th STRAIGHT SEASON
On May 5th, the NBA announced its 2009-10 All-Defensive Teams with Kobe Bryant earning First Team honors for the 5th consecutive season and 8th time overall, finishing fourth in voting with 34 points and 13 first-place votes. Bryant has now made 10 All-Defensive Teams overall, earning Second Team honors in 2000-01 and 2001- 02. Leading vote-getter and 2009-10 Defensive Player of the Year Dwight Howard (57 points), Rajon Rondo (50 points), LeBron James (45 points) and Gerald Wallace (30 points) all joined Bryant on this year's All-Defensive First Team. The 30 NBA-coach voting panel selected All-Defensive First and Second Teams by position while not voting for their own players. Two points were awarded for a First Team vote, one point for a Second Team vote. Bryant is now one of seven players to be named to at least eight All-Defensive First Teams: (9) Michael Jordan, Gary Payton; (8) Kevin Garnett, Bobby Jones, Scottie Pippen, Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant.
Second Team honors went to Tim Duncan (21), Dwyane Wade (20), Josh Smith (20), Anderson Varejao (15) and Thabo Sefolosha (14).

Costner looks for a way out
KEVIN Costner was just on the brink of mega-stardom when No Way Out was released in 1986. He'd just drawn major interest playing Elliot Ness in Brian De Palma's The Untouchables, and his portrayals of Lieutenant Farrell in No Way Out and ageing baseball player Crash Davis in Ron Shelton's Bull Durham would establish him as the romantic lead of the 1980s.
And in No Way Out (World, 9.30pm, Original Running Time 114 mins) it's easy to see why. It's been on before but the movie has enough twists and turns to make a second viewing fun, even necessary. Under Roger Donaldson's direction, this remake of John Farrow's 1947 movie The Big Clock is a gripping drama of death and duplicity in the Pentagon.
Sean Young proves that she could act once - though her diabolical performance in A Kiss Before Dying would seem to belie the fact - playing the tantalisingly sexy mistress of Defence Secretary Brice (Gene Hackman).
When she's killed, Hackman calls in young navy officer Costner, ostensibly to find her murderer without stirring up any headlines. The problem is that Hackman accidentally did the deed himself, but is trying to frame Young's unknown other lover. And the problem with that is, Costner's the other lover.
Consequently, Costner's mission becomes a mire of bluffs and double bluffs as he tries to find a way to link the crime to Hackman without the man discovering his own part in the affair.
Confusing yes, but it's edge-of-your-seat drama with strong performances from all three leads, as well as Will Patton playing Hackman's henchman.
The only grouch about the movie is that the censors here always cut Costner and Young's steamy scene in the limo. Sexy yes, but done with humour, and without offence. Why not surprise us and leave the scene in? AS for Marked For Death (Pearl, 9.30pm, ORT 94 mins), it should have been. It's another brainless Steven (Above The Law ) Seagal vehicle in which the Akido expert plays an ex-drug agent taking on Jamaican dope pushers who want to wipe him out. Sounds reasonable.
THE Asia World Cup Qualifying soccer tournament gets underway today in Qatar. Japan, North and South Korea, Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia will play a two-week round-robin competition to claim the last two berths for World Cup 94.
Brian Langley introduces live coverage of all the matches, starting with North Korea v Iraq (Prime Sports, 9pm) and Saudi Arabia v Japan (11.15pm).
BARRY Norman will review Ken Loach's latest work Raining Stones about a northern British working-class family in Film '93 (BBC, 9.25pm). He'll also look at John Woo's violent actioner Hard Boiled, and Young Americans, the first feature from young British director Danny Cannon, which stars Harvey Keitel.
Finally, Norman's secured a rare interview with veteran actress Maggie Smith who became the creme de la creme of the Oscars in 1969 for her title role in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, and has just completed a new screen version of The Secret Garden.

An international team of lecturers ensures that course subject matter is not limited to national issues, but encompasses a growing body of international business law. Academic modules conducted in the USA, as well as in China and Geneva, contribute to the international nature of the program.
The program
Among the strength that graduate students find at the University of Zurich are the opportunity to pursue a broad course of study, and the possibility to explore their areas of interest in the Specialization Courses. Students will profit from our LL.M. program specially designed and developed for lawyers working in an international field.
The LL.M. is conducted either on a Part-Time or Full-Time basis. The program includes a General Course and a Specialization Courses, comprising approximately 420 lectures. The program is completed with the submission of a thesis.
The General Course lectures build the foundation for the subsequent Specialization Course. After an introduction to the economic and legal foundations of the international economy and important foreign areas of law, the emphasis shifts to European and international business (e.g., EU Common Market, Competition Law, WTO, Corporate Law, Tax and Corporate Criminal Law).
The Specialization Course comprises of two modules:
- Module 1: Organization and Governance
- Module 2: Dispute Resolution: General and Specific Areas
Module 1 provides an economic and legal insight into sports organizations. It analyzes how sport organizations operate and integrate on a national and international level. Participants will also focus on topics such as sport events, sport contract law and the resolution of sports related disputes and arbitration.
Module 2 addresses the question of how sporting organizations tackle the current challenges of doping, illegal betting, gaming manipulation and corruption, that are endangering the fundamental principles of sporting competition, such as, doping, illegal betting, e.g., gaming manipulation, and corruption in the sport.
Students who are interested in only taking the Specialization Course can be awarded a Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS).

Title: Abeni Tutuola
Author: viol8dbyalizzard
Summary: Abeni Tutuola comes into the precinct to see her father, but not for a visit.
Disclaimers: Not mine. Everything belongs to D.W. except any unfamiliar characters and add-ins.
Munch sighing was the only sound one would here in the Special Victims Unit squad room if they walked in at that moment, besides the scribbling of pens or clicks of a keyboard and mouse. They all had a butt load of paperwork to finish before the day ended. Today was a slow day, luckily, until an exhausted, African-American teenage girl came stumbling in. Munch looked up and squinted to see who she was. Then he realized and lightly kicked Fin in the shin. The dark-skinned man looked up with anger.
"What the he--" Fin started, but Munch cut him off.
"Isn't that Abby?" he asked and Fin's gaze went immediately to the doors. It was. He took in her appearance and called to her.
"Abby, over here, Honey." He stood up and she walked into his arms, sobbing into his chest. Abeni Tutuola was a beautiful girl. Black hair down to the middle of her back, her father's eyes, the perfect nose, full lips, high cheekbones, and she wasn't fat, but she wasn't skinny. In her father's eyes, she was perfect.
(A.N. I'm picturing Raven Symoné as Abeni Tutuola)
Fin could feel everyone's eyes on them as they stood by his desk. Looking up, he gave everyone but Olivia, Munch, and Elliot his best death-glare and they all went back to work. He gently stroked her hair and whispered softly to her until she calmed down. Munch caught his eye and mouthed, 'What's going on?'
'No idea.' Fin carefully pulled back a bit and looked into his daughter's eyes. He wiped away a tear on her face before noticing the bruise over her eye.
"Did somebody hit you, Baby? Where'd you get this bruise?" he asked gently. Abby looked around the room.
"Umm. . .is there somewhere else we could. . ." Fin nodded and led her to an interrogation room. He closed the door behind him and sat in a chair while Abby paced back and forth while picking at her nails like she always did when she was upset. Fin waited for her to speak, but after five minutes, he couldn't take it.
"Honey?" he said and Abby jumped, startled. She stared at him with pain-filled eyes as her mouth opened and closed and opened and closed again. "Sweetie, what is it? What's wrong?"
". . .Daddy, I. . .I. . ." Finally, Abby gave up on words and took her denim jacket off so that her tank top was showing. That wasn't the only thing that was revealed, though. Cuts and bruises covered both arms and chest. They led down to her breasts, from what he could see, and it just went downhill from there. The look of shame on his daughter's face nearly killed him as he gently took her wrist in his hand and traced the wounds.
"Baby, what. . .how. . .who?" he finally spit out. Abby looked at him.
"Jeremy. Jeremy Louis." Then she broke down again and Fin pulled her onto his lap.
"He didn't r-rape you, did he?" Fin asked hesitantly, his heart nearly stopping when there was a long pause. Then. . .she nodded.
"He raped me, Daddy!" Abby sobbed and Fin let out a rush of air as he held his daughter closer. At 16, she was so fragile. He couldn't stand it when boys looked at her. He knew how they were. Big boobs and a big ass. That's how they like it. Unfortunately, that's what attracted Fin to her mother, despite her natural beauty and kindness. It was also unfortunate that Abby inherited these traits. If he ever got his hands on this Jeremy, he would drop-kick him to the last universe.
"Oh, Abeni, I'm so sorry. I'm gonna make sure this guy never touches you again. Everyone's gonna protect you. Me, A.J., Uncle Munchie, Aunt Olivia, Uncle Don, and Uncle Elliot. All of us. I swear."
Abby's sobs soon turned to soft hiccups. She started shivering and felt Fin put her coat around her shoulders. She burrowed further into her father's coat, hoping it would swallow her whole. She felt so dirty. Abby could hear her dad whispering softly to her and laid her head on his shoulder. Her eyes drooped and she completely relaxed against him. Then she fell asleep to the rumble of his deep voice.
Fin stared at Abby, taking in her beauty. She looked so innocent in her sleep, but he knew she wasn't anymore. That bastard had taken her innocence and a piece of his heart. Tears welled up in his eyes at that thought, but he bit them back. He pulled out his cell and called Munch, even though he was two rooms away, and told him to come open the door for him. When he did so, Fin gently cradled Abby to his chest, making sure her jacket stayed on her, and carried her up to the Crib.
"Fin, what's up?" John asked. Fin laid her down on the bed and looked at John.
"See for yourself," he said emptily and gently pulled her jacket off. John gasped at the sight.
"What the hell?" John exclaimed softly. Fin nodded and turned away, not able to look anymore, clutching the denim jacket. When John noticed this, he pulled the sheets up to Abby's chin and turned to Fin, laying a hand on his shoulder. "You okay?"
"She's my little girl, John. My baby. And I know A.J.'s gonna want a piece of this bastard. How could someone do this?" Fin whispered, full of rage. John squeezed his shoulder and let his hand drop.
"Look, let's tell Cragen and we can get on it right away. If you're lucky, he'll let you even stay on the case."
(A.N. Ajamu Jumoke Tutuola/A.J. is Jimmy Brooks from Degrassi: The Next Generation)
Fin looked back at his daughter once more, not wanting to leave. He just stared until he felt John's hand on his shoulder again.
"Stay here. I'll go talk to him."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. Go on." Fin nodded his thanks and sat at the foot of the bed, leaning against the bedpost and watching Abby.
John knocked on the Captain's door and was relieved when he said he could come in. Cragen immediately saw the worried look in his eyes and set his pen down.
"What is it?" he asked and John sat in front of him.
"Abby just came in."
"Fin's daughter? Why? What's wrong?"
"She was raped, Captain." Cragen just stared at John before sighing and closing his eyes, rubbing his forehead where he felt a headache coming on. "Fin wants to stay on the case."
"I can't do that, John. He's way too close."
"Cap, think of what this is doing to him. If he doesn't catch this bastard, he'll feel like he let Abby down. Plus, I'm sure if he doesn't, A.J. will." Don thought long and hard about it before rubbing a hand over his eyes.
"Fine, but if there's one slip-up. . ."
"I know, I know. I'll get him off." John stood and turned to leave when he heard Cragen's voice.
". . .watch him."
"Got it." Then he walked out and back up to the crib. As he was walking up the stairs, John heard soft sobs. He thought it was Abby, but when he got up there, he saw that it was Fin. He had never seen him cry before. Ever. The younger man's face was buried in his hands as he hunched over at the foot of the bed. Abby was still asleep. John continued into the room until he stood behind the crying man.
"Fin?" he said softly. Fin jumped, startled, and quickly swiped at the tears.
"Whadda you want, Munch?" he asked, irritated.
"Just came to tell you that Cragen okayed your being on Abby's case."
"He what?"
"Yup. Just don't get too. . .you know." Fin nodded and sniffled. Munch laid a hand on his shoulder and just as he was about to speak again, Abby started tossing and turning and moaning. Fin quickly leaned over and tried to shake her awake, but it didn't work.
"Abby, Sweetie, wake up. Wake up. It's just a dream. Come on, Honey, wake up," Fin called to her and her eyes flew open as she shot up, sweating and gasping and crying. Her breathing was rapid and her whole body trembled. Fin pulled her to his chest and rocked her back and forth. "Shh, it's okay. I'm here. Daddy's here. It was just a dream. Calm down. Shh."
Once he realized that her breathing was still irregular, Fin pulled away and took her face between his hands.
"Abeni, take it easy. Just breathe. Take a deep breathe. Easy, Baby. Just focus on my eyes and breathe. That's it. Good girl. Breathe," Fin instructed calmly and Abby's breathing gradually calmed. Munch went to get another blanket for the shivering girl and wrapped it around her shoulders.
"Oh, Daddy, i-it was horrible!" Abby sobbed and threw herself into her father's arms. "I-I saw him! Raping m-me over and-and over again! It hurt so b-bad! Why me, Daddy?"
"I don't know, Sweetheart. He can't hurt you anymore, though." Then, when Fin thought she'd fallen asleep again, Abby started to tell her story. Munch sat down on the opposite bed and took out his notepad, jotting every word down.
"Erika and I were on our way home from school. The bus was so crowded today that we decided to walk. When I got home, Mom wasn't there. All the lights were off and I got scared, so I checked the alarm system and it said 'Disabled'. Then I really started to freak out. I was about to call you when I felt someone grab me and put a cloth over my nose. I tried to scream, but I guess I passed out because when I woke up, I-I. . .I was. . .naked and. . .tied to m-my bed. The blinds were closed, the door was shut, and the guy had a ski-mask, and dark clothes on. He smelled like stale cigarettes and weed. I-I tried getting away, but the knots on the ropes were too strong. When I screamed, he k-kissed me and I bit down on his tongue. I tasted blood. He smacked me across the face and then. . .he. . ." She shuddered. ". . .raped me."
Fin rubbed her back and laid his cheek on top of her head. He couldn't believe this was happening. To his girl. He didn't want to. Suddenly, Abby threw a hand over her mouth and jumped off of the bed, running down the stairs and into the ladies room. Olivia followed her in while Fin sat on the bed with his head in his hands.
"What am I gonna do, John? She's only 16. She's just a baby." Munch got up to sit next to him.
"The only thing you can do, Fin. Be there for her. Help her. Be her dad. Not her cop."

Your answer is one click away!
When creating a new NSDictionary object in Objective-C, you can do either:
NSMutableDictionary *dict= [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
// or
NSMutableDictionary *dict= [NSMutableDictionary new];
I was wondering what is the difference between those two?
There's probably no functional difference.
new is a short form for
[[Class alloc] init] form and works with all classes.
dictionary is specific method for NSDictionary but is used for
NSMutableDictionary to create an empty dictionary.
In the past, before ARC,
dictionary would return an autoreleased object and
new would return a retained one. That's probably the main difference between these two.

CBW Bank: Leveraging Modern APIs
Celent: Model Bank Award: CBW Bank: Leveraging Modern APIs
Winner of Celent Model Bank 2017 award for Banking as a Platform. CBW Bank developed and implemented an API-enabled digital banking platform that facilitates real-time, contextual and conditional payments across multiple channels, and offers these to third parties via an API store.
CBW Bank developed and implemented an API-enabled digital banking platform that facilitates real-time, contextual and conditional payments across multiple channels, effectively modernizing conventional approaches to payments and digital banking.
The bank leverages 500+ modern APIs to integrate endless connection points into its digital banking platform, which gives users access to multiple payment networks and channels. This supports interoperability between multiple financial institutions, programs, product combinations and accounts, regardless of the system. As a result, CBW Bank is able to use its technology to create solutions that meet the needs of consumers and benefit a wide range of business verticals.
Additionally, CBW Bank published its APIs, becoming the first bank in the U.S. to do so. By granting access to its APIs, the bank now allows fintech startups and other forward-thinking financial institutions to rapidly build and validate a variety of business and consumer banking products while ensuring compliance. This will also allow any start-up or bank to build a digital bank within six months.
"With APIs only just coming on the radar for many banks, it's a powerful to see them not only in action, but them being used by much bigger banks to begin their own journeys," commented Gareth Lodge, Senior Analyst of Celent's Banking practice.
"CBW continue to do interesting things because they are using modern technology and a fundamentally different mind-set than a traditional banker, but still bound by the same regulatory rules as any other bank."
Celent is a research and advisory firm dedicated to helping financial institutions formulate comprehensive business and technology strategies. Celent publishes reports identifying trends and best practices in financial services technology and conducts consulting engagements for financial institutions looking to use technology to enhance existing business processes or launch new business strategies.

A little tired of stupid people
So I don't know if it is the hormones or if I am just around stipid people lately, but it's driving me nuts. Yesterday I was in Sears looking for maternity clothes. They moved them upstairs next to the children's clothes. I pick a few things and go to the dressing room. I have my son in his stroller with me and cant' get into the dressing room because they have this step thing on wheels plus the return item rack in front of the door. I start to roll it out of the way and the sales lady comes running over like I am wrecking the whole place and insists that it must stay right where it is. I tell her I can't get my stroller through the door and need to move it. She refuses... I tell her seriously, that pregnant people and people with children are the only ones up there and they don't have it set up to get a stroller through? So you have to lift your stroller WHILE you are pregnant?
Then I go in Walmart today. They have these chocolate covered granola bars in one of the sample things. The boys run up to it and the lady tells them they have to have their parent's permission. I am standing there and say it's fine, so DS2 takes one. She makes some face and says something about it, like she is frustrated that he took it. I told her, he's 7, he wants a sample and I said it was fine. She said they are protein bars and not for children. Well what do you think kids are thinking when they see chocolate and free samples??? I am sure a bite of it won't hurt them anyway and besides, I am the parent.
Then I go to check out and the lady puts the cat food next to my kids' food in the bag. I told her she should place cat food or cleaning products in with food. She just looks at me. Seriously, that is gross. Then she is too lazy to move the litter off the belt. So after I paid, I ask my oldest to grab the litter. Then she said that she forgot to ring up the icing because it was behind the litter. Well lazy butt, if you had moved it like you should have you would have seen it. So then she has to ring that up separately. Grrr.
Re: A little tired of stupid people
Lol im sorry but that made me laugh. I wouldve kicked a lot of peoples ***** had that happened to me.
Re: A little tired of stupid people
I get frustrated with stupid people all the time...even pre-pregnancy! lol
I always get mad when I go to Walmart (I buy all my groceries there). I'm a little OCD and like to have my items bagged a certain way. So I make sure to put them on the belt, exactly as I wish for them to be bagged, and I even leave spaces in between each separate grouping. You would not believe how many times the checkers will start grabbing items from halfway down the belt and putting them in random sacks. HELLOOOOOOOO! I grouped them together for a reason, dumb-dumb!
Re: A little tired of stupid people
Oh man all that would have had me MAD grrrrr so frustrating!!!!!!
Re: A little tired of stupid people
Not your hormones.. just dumb people!!! Good for you for not karate chopping everyone involved (though they could probably use a chop for being bobos)
Re: A little tired of stupid people
Good job holding back! Lol
Re: A little tired of stupid people
I don't exactly hold back. I mean I don't go crazy on them or anything, but I do tell them what I think. LOL I told the lady at Sears that pregnant women trying on maternity clothes should not be lifting a stroller with a toddler in it over some crap that could easily go somewhere else, um perhaps the nearby mattress section? I told her she should really let her management know as it's not safe to lift heavy things while pregnant, and who else is going to shop in that part of the store other than pregnant people?
Then I told the first lady at Walmart that as the mother of the child that took the very small sample bite of what looks like to him a chocolate covered granola bar, I am sure it is safe for him. I also asked that if it's not safe why is she putting it out on a platter to tempt everyong that walks by? I mean, it isn't alcohol or anything. Plus, I AM THE MOTHER AND I SAID HE COULD HAVE IT! LOL
Then the cashier I told her that she should really learn how to bag groceries, since that is her job. I said it isn't safe nor sanitary to put pet food/supplies or cleaning supplies in the same bag as ones food. People can get sick and it's gross. When she told me fine, you can put it in whatever back you want, I replied that I was just trying to educate her since it's her job and would probably be beneficial for her future customers.
Re: A little tired of stupid people
My patience had definitely shortened the further I get. I think the stupidness has always been there, I'm just less inclined to smile and nod. Ill say something abou about anything now. Oh, what KFC with no mashed potatoes? Or anyone else messing with my food? And drivers. And ... Just so many people. Hopefully the violent imagery in my head is ok for the babe. ;)
Re: A little tired of stupid people
Stress is bad for you and baby. If the imagery is causing you to get more upset (like if you're giving yourself an adrenaline rush by thinking about it more than you need to in order to deal with the situation at hand) then yeah; it's not super-great. Perhaps a distraction of some kind would be more helpful.
If the imagery is giving you a release of some kind and letting you be less-upset sooner, then go nuts and let your imagination run wild. :D
Basically the shortest path to being calm and collected is the one you wanna pick.
That said, it's pretty natural to have a short fuse during pregnancy. Unless you're some kind of zen master, you're going to feel like momzilla rather often, and probably the occasional imbecile is going to annoy you quite a bit more than usual.
Re: A little tired of stupid people
LOL I feel like I am around stupid people a lot. My tolerance has gone up a lot working in the field I work in, though haha. Some things I still don't tolerate well are other people telling me what is/isn't good for my child. "Excuse me, Dr. Walmart-worker, I didn't know you were an expert in nutrition for children." The Sears lady is ridiculous and I would have asked to speak to her manager right there... no way a store manager would have a pregnant woman lifting things over their store's crap. Same with the Wal-Mart cashier, although I know from experience working there as a teenager that they aren't treated that well, nor paid enough to listen to customers criticize whether or not they lift something or bag things correctly hahaha.

Chronicles of Rage
The Chronicles of Rage were written by Andrew the second time he entered the digital world. It recounts his battles in the world and against the evil fallen angel digimon, Lucemon. A shortened version is written below.
Andrew had been in a train like the rest of the digi-destined, but his had fallen off a break in the tracks into the Forest of Rage. Here, Andrew met the Garumon and Goramon species, and in turn, was recognised by AncientWhiteGarumon to be the one the prophecy had spoke of. Andrew couldn't believe that he was supposed to be some saviour and ran into the forest, where he met twin Garamon. He started looking for a way out, but the forest seemed to go on forever and the Garamon were following him.Eventually, Andrew became annoyed with the Garamon who were following him and told them to go away, so they left. Later, Andrew was attacked by a Sangoramon that had been hiding in the trees, but the Garamon digivolved to Garumon and Goramon and saved him. From then, Garumon and Goramon became Andrew's digimon partners.Andrew apologetically returned to the temple where AncientWhiteGarumon told him of the spirits. Andrew resolved then to return the spirits to the temple. So Andrew, and his two digimon partners, set off to find the spirits, and after a while searching the forest, found one; The Human Spirit of Rage. Returning to the temple, Andrew ran into trouble with a powerful digimon who managed to cut a crevice in his path. Andrew managed to Spirit Evolve into Deagoramon and defeat the creature, but his path back to the temple was completely destroyed.During the detour, Andrew managed to find the Beast Spirit of Rage. By now, Andrew had drawn the attention of Mercurymon and was forced to use the Beast Spirit, BurningGarumon against him. Andrew won, but wasn't able to defeat Mercurymon, who escaped unharmed. Andrew then set off to return to the village, discovering Garumon and Goramon's evolved forms; GeoGarumon and GeoGoramon. When Andrew returned to the village, he found Duskmon there too. Duskmon was searching for the villages fractal code. Andrew tried to take him on, but BurningGarumon, GeoGarumon and GeoGoramon together weren't strong enough. Their attacks were uncoordinated, allowing Duskmon to take all three at once, individually. Andrew retreated and ran back to the temple, and hid from Duskmon there. On an altar in the temple, was a floating crest and a massive egg. When Andrew drew closer, the egg began to glow and Garumon became BladeGarumon. Outside, the battle was more in Andrew's favour and he managed to drive Duskmon out of the village. The egg had disappeared, however. When AncientWhiteGarumon saw this, he became enraged until Andrew explained why. A week later, Duskmon attacked again, but this time slide digivolved into Velgemon making him far too powerful for GeoGoramon and Blade:Garumon to fight, and Velgemon was able to use his 'Dark Obliterator' attack on GeoGoramon, deleting him instantly. At this, Andrew flew into a rage, instantly Spirit Evolving into his Advance Hybrid from; BurningDeagorumon who could easily defeat the attacking Velgemon

Hi my lovelies....I am taking part in a Vlog series with Katlyn and some other lovely ladies and I have to say I am pretty nervous about the whole thing! The idea of talking on a Vlog and then posting it online sends all kinda shivers down my spine. What can I say? I'm shy!
Well, here's my Vlog...it's nearly 13 minutes long so it's in two parts! You might want tea, snacks or the ability to fast forward to get through it all. Am I selling it? (Use the password 'craftbotic' to access both - I'm trying to avoid a student 'remix'!)

Mass Balance in CFX5.7
Hey Guys
Please, do anyone knows how to obtain both negative and positive mass flow separately at a 2D plane in CFX5.7 post? Thus, say, for a 2D plane, there is backflow occuring at the plane, do anyone knows how to get the estimate of backflow that is occurs at the plane, since if you use the "massflow" function it only gives the overall which I presumed it includes both incoming and outgoing flows in the plane.
A quick response to this will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot!!
Re: Mass Balance in CFX5.7
Create a Contour plot of Mass Flow on your plane with 3 contour levels and your min value equal to the negative of your max value. This will create 2 contour surfaces, one negative, one positive. The flow direction will depend on the normal direction of the surface (which you can visualize by plotting a vector of Normal on the slice plane).
Hide the contour plot and create a User Surface using the "from Contour" method. Set it to the contour plot you created and select the 2nd or 3rd contour level, these will correspond to the negative and positive flow regions respectively. Any calculations done on the User Surface will yield results for the positive or negative flow only.
Regards, Robin
Re: Mass Balance in CFX5.7
Hey 'ere
Thanks! But it seems you didn't get my question. I'm interested in the amount (-...kg/s) and not the contour plot. That one just gives the graphical representation and NOT the quantity. Although the lengend shows most of the values but it wouldn't give the amount as if u're using the "calculator" funtion.
Anyway, I've solved the problem. I did export the "mass Flow" variable at the specific plane. Then in MS excel, I extracted those backflow masses and sum them up. This did work though, just that is a long process if it can be done in the cfxpost.
Re: Mass Balance in CFX5.7
As Robin said, after you have created the 2 User Surfaces (let's call them USmfpos and USmfneg), you may obtain the positive mass flow as massFlow()@USmfpos and the negative mass flow as massFlow()@USmfneg
Re: Mass Balance in CFX5.7
thanks!! but it seems I'm missing something here. U mean I shd create 2 surfaces in the same plane or what? I don't get that. Because the plane is a 2D at a specific axis location. I want to know the total backflow or negative mass flow in that 2D plane. You're saying I should divide it into two user surfaces or what? I simply can't get that.
As I said earlier on, I've done it with MS excel. Thanks a lot once again!!
Re: Mass Balance in CFX5.7
Yes, that's right.
1. Create the contour plot exactly as described by Robin.
2. Create two User Surfaces using the "From Contour" option. One surface will correspond to the region with negative mass flow and the other to the region with positive mass flow.
3. Use the function calculator as described by Rui to get what you want. No need for Excel (allthough I see how you did this and it works.)
Pretty tricky but it will work fine.

Understanding catalogs, collections, and folders in Lightroom
A review of catalogs, collections, and folders in Adobe Lightroom
Since Lightroom is a database some of the most powerful features of Lightroom are organizing your images. But since Lightroom has many different types of ways to keep your files stored it can get a little confusing when starting out. Today I want to cover a quick review of the 3 ways you can organize your images in Lightroom. On the left hand pane of the Library module in Lightroom you will see 3 main sections: catalogs, collections, and folders. So what are the differences between these 3 sections? Let's dive in and see what they are all about.
Lightroom catalogs – The catalog in Lightroom stores everything that you have imported into Lightroom when this catalog was open. This gives you a view into everything in the database and the catalog will have a database file associated with it. This database file (normally named Lightroom 3 Catalog.lrcat ) is by default located in the pictures folder in your commuter and will hold all of the details about these photos (metadata, previews, photo history…). You can choose to save this catalog database on any drive or location that you choose and can have as many catalogs as you need. You can only have 1 catalog open at the same time so I usually suggest not creating too many. Lightroom is pretty powerful and can handle a very large database without any really performance issues. I generally create a catalog for every year and even though I have a few hundred thousand images it still performs just fine.
Lightroom folders – While the catalog shows you everything in your database the folders section of lightroom shows you the folder structure of where the original files live. Normally for my wedding shoots I have a folder with the brides name and inside that 3 folders (Color, B&W and Artistic tone). In Lightroom when I import the main folder i'll include the subfolders and will see this same hierarchy on the folders section on the left.
Also since the folders point to your original file you can't move the file without breaking the link with Lightroom. If you did move the folder of images you will still see the folder on the left side and when viewing the thumbnails they will still come up just fine since Lightroom stores the previews in the database. But when trying to view the full size image or make any changes in the develop module it will come up that the image is offline or missing.
What if you moved the folder to an external drive for storage. I actually work on my images on one drive but then once the shoot is done back them up on a Ready NAS NV+ system. Don't worry you can easily re-setup the link by Control clicking on the folder name and choosing Update Folder Location. Then just navigate to where the new folder is and it will update the link in Lightroom.
Lightroom collections – The collections section in Lightroom are pretty powerful for organizing. Think of these like smart playlists in iTunes, you can easily group together certain images based on metadata. It doesn't move any of your original photos just creates a new view so you can quickly find photos across your entire Lightroom catalog.
You can have a photo in as many collections as you need and it won't create duplicate images. By default there are a few smart collections already in Lightroom like a grouping of your 5 star images and you can add as many collections and smart collections as you need.
Look out for a deeper look into Lightroom collections coming up later this week!
That's it, not really too difficult right? I hope you enjoyed this review of Lightroom catalogs, folder and collections. If you ever have Lightroom, Photoshop or any other photography released questions just let me know I am always looking for new ideas for content to write.
If you like our articles remember to share them on Facebook, Twitter or +1 them on Google. I appreciate you spreading the word to your photo friends and it helps me to continue writing content for everyone!

Institutional issues and a lack of system thinking are hampering progress toward resolving Europe's renewable energy dilemma, says Mark O'Malley, professor of electrical engineering at University College Dublin. More comprehensive and objective analysis would help.
The successful integration of renewables could cut Europe's energy bill by as much as €50 billion annually, says Goran Strbac, professor of electrical energy systems at Imperial College London. First, however, the market must start rewarding investment in flexible power generation, demand-side response and energy storage.
EU's Joint Research Centre (JRC) counts 459 smart grid initiatives in its yearly stock-taking report
Despite a challenging market environment, the 16 European energy utilities analyzed in the ESMT Innovation Index increased their aggregate R&D budget by 3 per cent between 2010 and 2012.
Transformation of power systems is necessary to guarantee flexibility over long term, but this will be more difficult in some markets than in others
"The debates surrounding the sustainability of bioenergy will only grow louder as big urban areas start running out of water."
Wind turbines can remain productive for up to 25 years, making wind farms a good long-term choice for energy investors, according to new research.
New approach developed at MIT could generate power from sunlight efficiently and on demand.

Current OxFutures Projects
Investment Fund
The Low Carbon Hub is working with Resonance, Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council to develop a revolving loan fund for major renewable energy and energy reduction projects across the city and county. This will enable timely construction of Low Carbon Hub renewable projects with corporate partners, the public sector and communities.
The first phase of the fund will leverage investment for renewable installations on the public estate and underwrite start-up funding for community energy schemes.
Powering Up
Oxfordshire has a huge potential to "power up" by generating its energy through local renewable sources. Under the OxFutures umbrella, the Low Carbon Hub is leading on community energy. The Hub works with corporate partners, schools and communities to develop finance and manage renewable energy schemes for community benefit.
The Hub's £12.5 million pipeline of renewable projects includes eight community microhydro schemes along the Thames, solar PV projects on community buildings, a cohort of solar schools, as well as 3.5MW of solar PV with local businesses across Oxfordshire.
Powering Down
Oxfordshire also has huge potential to "power down" by reducing energy use to enable us to save money and live in warmer, more energy- efficient homes. OxFutures aims to make domestic energy savings of 19,600MWh over the next two years.
One of the key aims of this project is to tackle fuel poverty locally. Oxford City Council and the Low Carbon Hub are currently running a pilot scheme in Barton to improve the energy efficiency of local homes.
You can download the evaluation report for the Warming Barton project here.
Public Estate Project
This project will deliver renewables on the public estate. The first phase is the Low Carbon Hub's solar energy scheme for Oxfordshire schools. Individual schools are struggling to develop their own projects in isolation but by working together the scheme will be able to gain economies of scale and raise funds for groups of school installations at the same time. This will provide cheaper, green electricity for the schools for 20 years as well as an ethical investment opportunity for the wider community.
The project is also exploring renewables on the park and ride car parks and other public sector assets.

Danish Military Levying Rolls (Lægdsruller)
Back to Denmark Page►
(Add introductory text and/or an image here)
Danish Lægdsruller, What are they?
Lægdsruller are records of the males who could be enlisted for service in the army or navy. These rolls have many different uses. For genealogical purposes they are used mainly to follow the registered individual's movements, identify a birthplace, find which military unit they were assigned to, and when they completed their obligation.
In subsequent years there was an agency created by the government known as a lægdsvæsen to watch over its conscripts. It was important for the government to know how large a force it possessed in case of war. Therefore it became the states responsibility to keep detailed records of the male population in lægdsruller.
Changes to the miltary obligation law of March 6, 1869 established 6 districts instead of the county sub-divsions or lægds. Here after the lægds were sequentially numbered in each of the 6 districts. After reunification in 1920 the 7th district (Sønder Jylland) was established.

Cleveland Browns 20, San Francisco 49ers 7 - It's Brady Quinn time in Cleveland. With about five minutes to go in the first half, current starting quarterback Derek Anderson left the game with a right hand injury. While making his way toward the locker room for X-rays, Brady Quinn checked into the game followed by loud cheers! His first pass was tipped at the line of scrimmage, his second pass was dropped in the flat, but his third attempt was a completion to tight end Steve Heiden for a first down. Quinn then led the Browns down for a field goal to increase their lead to 17-7. While Quinn looked okay, the Browns still decided to start Anderson for the second half in a meaningless game.
The victory win was meaningless for the Browns because their playoff chances ride on the back of the Indianapolis Colts. If the Colts beat the Tennessee Titans than the Browns are in. However, if the Colts lose than the Titans are in. Even if they miss out on the playoffs, this was one heck of a year for Browns fans.
Atlanta Falcons 44, Seattle Seahawks 41 - Everytime the Seahawks venture to the East Coast, they always seem to lose to subpar NFC teams. While the starters didn't play much, a three touchdown loss to Atlanta doesn't help anybody get ready for the playoffs. Even NFL journeyman Chris Redman threw for 4 touchdowns in this one.
Chicago Bears 33, New Orleans Saints 25 - Why would anybody in their right mind even kick to Devin Hester (a.k.a. the Windy City Flyer). The Bears return specialist took another punt to the house in addition to a 55-yard bomb he caught from the bearded Kyle Orton. With his 64 yard return, Hester broke his own record for kicks/punts returned for touchdowns in a season. Orton got the win over Drew Brees in the battle of Boilermaker QBs, while throwing for two touchdowns and 190 yards. Better than Rex Grossman and Brian Griese.
Cincinnati Bengals 38, Miami Dolphins 25 - Sitting in a press box suite, Bill Parcells got to witness first hand his massive rebuilding project, the Miami Dolphins. I least he could take solace to the fact that not all of his players have been arrested like his team's opponent.
Carolina Panthers 31, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23 - This is one of many reasons why I hate Week 17. Here we had Matt Moore and Luke McCown battling in a meaningless game. My one-time fantasy sleeper, DeAngelo Williams, had his first bug game, rushing for two touchdowns and 121 yards on 20 carries.
Philadelphia Eagles 17, Buffalo Bills 9 - Donovan McNabb threw for 345 yards and a touchdown in what might be his last game in Philly. Too bad for Philly fans that their team started playing well when the games didn't matter anymore.
Green Bay Packers 34, Detroit Lions 13 - Can we all agree that the Mike Martz experiment did not work according to plans? Thirteen points against the Packers third string. C'mon!
Houston Texans 42, Jacksonville Jaguars 24 - Congratulations, Houston, you now have a .500 football team. Maybe they aren't hopeless after all!

I use it o my toast for breakfast. like the chunkiness and the peanut butter is very smooth. sometimes I use it for cooking as well. price is good, especially when it's on sale, a very good buy
I love chunky peanut butter and Kraft makes the best, crunchy or not, I only buy Kraft!
Kraft peanut butter is one of the best tasting that i have ever tried.. The price has been raising but it is still worth buying. I love the crunch its nice to have different textures when eating. All i can say is go try it you will not be disappointed !
Taste amazing!!! Love the chunks!
tastes gud.but a bit costly.nice morning refresher
Kraft chunky peanut butter tastes great. Love the creamy texture. The size of the peanuts are just right, not too big and not too small.
It is a fantastic product. By far the best peanut butter ever. I recommend it to every one.

Wisdom and charm from Julie Borowski, a.k.a. Token Libertarian Girl, albeit with one conspicuous omission. What about the most hot-button social issue of all? Even Ron Paul makes an exception for government intervention (at the state level, at least) when it comes to abortion. We know where the libertines stand on that, but what about the libertarians?

THE temporary closure of a town's library has caused frustration among staff.
Connah's Quay Library closed last week as work continues on the construction of the Flintshire Connects centre at the same site.
While the library is shut staff have been asked to either work at other libraries in the county or take unpaid leave.
The upgraded library will reopen in the Connects Centre on June 23, but workers said the service is being greatly missed, particularly by the elderly.
Jennie Eardley, 63, of Fieldside, Hawarden, who has worked at the library for 32 years, said: "We are disgusted there will be no library service available in Connah's Quay for so long.
"Many of our borrowers will find it extremely difficult to travel to neighbouring libraries.
"A lot of elderly people rely on the library for a chat and to just read the papers."
Mrs Eardley said the uncertainty surrounding the library and staff roles during the period of closure had also been frustrating.
"We were still packing boxes to move right up until the very last day and soon we could be sent across the county to work," she added.
"It's frustrating to be disrupted like this."
Another staff member, who did not want to be named, said: "It's frustrating for everyone, especially the borrowers. A lot of our users can't get to other sites easily.
"We're going to have to play each week by ear, I don't know whether my long term future will be at the library."
Flintshire Connects project manager Mel Evans said: "There have been some delays on site during the refurbishment work.
"These delays, however, were not major and have not affected the projected completion date of the project."
Connah's Quay councillor Ian Dunbar, who has championed the construction of the Connects Centre in the town from the inception of the project, said: "They've hit a snag with the water drainage system and they wanted to make sure everything is sealed on the roof.
"The site will be assessed on June 16 and opened to the public on June 23.
"It's the staff's perogative if they are considering leaving but the Connects centre has been wanted across the county.
"It may have upset some people, but we've tried to minimise the loss of service as much as we could."
The Connects Centre, which is costing about £330,000, will also house a range of council services in Connah's Quay, as well as regular surgeries with town police officers.

Well I'm not stepping into Connah's Quay library ever again! Most of the staff have been replaced! Disgusting! These were the librarians who worked for our local library for decades! These were the librarians who had known borrowers since they were tiny toddlers! These were the librarians who would know people by their first names and would go out their way to help people in the local community. The soul of Connah's Quay library is truly destroyed. The library should have stayed a library!

Pit Fighter
a game by Tengen, Sterling Silver Software, THQ, and Atari Co.
Platforms: GenesisSNESSega Master System
See also: Pit Fighter Games
The super fighters and nonstop bone-crushing mayhem of Pit fighter has been shrunk down to Game Boy size. However, the game play is exactly the same as the arcade version. Select either Buzz, Kato, or Ty to do your fighting.
ProTip: Jam an opponent into the crowd and keep nailing him every time he gets up.
Pardon My Fists
You're thrust into a crowded, sleazy underground warehouse, where you must fight 10 matches against a host of deadly, shifty characters. No two opponents fight the same, so you must adjust your fighter's strategy accordingly.
Each fighter moves 360 degrees on a 2-D horizontally and vertically scrolling playing field. Punch, kick, dodge, and block until one fighter's strength meter hits zero. Winner takes the purse wagered by the crowd and the loser's body gets tossed out! Make it to the final round to take on the all-time greatest Pit fighter of all!
You must be horizontally aligned with your opponent in order to inflict or receive damage.
THQ faithfully reproduces the classic digitized images of the fighters onto the Game Boy's monochromatic screen. Despite the size limitations and lack of color, the images move smoothly and are distinct from the background. Unfortunately, some of the visual details have shrunk out of view, but there's still plenty to look at! There's even a hip soundtrack that doesn't grate on the nerves.
Get into the Pits
The only major drawback, to an otherwise entertaining fighting cart, is the missing two-player competition feature. Nevertheless, Pit fighter is full of fast action, excellent game play, and surprising challenge! Tiny Pit fighter for the Game Boy measures up to its big brother quite admirably!

Fight in the Pits!
They are back! This time there are more enemies, more moves, plus better sounds and graphics! Like its predecessor, the game uses digitized characters and voices for maximum impact! In the Pit there are no rules - which means you have to watch the spectators as closely as your opponents, because the audience can hurt you with sharp knives and deadly hits! Your opponents are ready to play down and dirty! You can play alone against the computer, or take on a friend (or enemy) for some head-to-head competition! The mean three are back: Buzz, the ex-wrestler; Kato, the karate master; and Ty, the kickboxing champion who is also the only survivor of previous Pit fights! They are joined by newcomers Tanya, Conner, Chief and Javier!
Deep in the New York underground lies a place where warriors of all races and creeds come to match their skills against others. Here, there are no roles, no retreats, no surrender. It is called the Pit, and the warriors are Pit-Fighters.
In Pit-Fighter for the SUPER NES, you may choose from three unlikely warriors: Buzz, the ex-wrestler with staggering power; Kato, the karate-master with incredible speed; or Ty, the champion kick-boxer and only veteran of the Pit. Each warrior has special devastating attacks to punish the opposition. Fight through nine matches and face the Masked Warrior, the reigning champion of the Pit. Welcome to a world where brutality is a way of life.
You fight for prize money as you progress in ranking. Great digitized graphics, like the coin-op!
Progress is slowly being made in getting digitized fighters to animate smoothly in a cartridge game. Still a demo but looks good.
Pow! Ugh! Smack! Wham! No, it's not Batman and the Boy Wonder gettin' rough with the Joker or the Penguin, it's THQ's Super NES version of that awesome pound 'em coin-op, Pit-Fighter.
A Pit-Fighter is someone who subjects their body to beatings while a raucous crowd looks on. What's so attractive about risking your neck in this rowdy two-player beat-'em-up adventure? Why the challenge, of course, and there's some hefty cash prizes to be had, too.
- For a real kick in your opponent's pants use Kato. He's the best fighter of the trio.
- Always go for the in-their-face aggressive approach.
A Fists and Feet Frenzy
In this SNES version, programmers pumped up the video-reality factor. You choose from three contenders: Kato, Ty, or Buzz. Each character boasts different speed, agility, range of blows, overall strength, and staying power. Each character also has his own set of Super Moves. However, to perform super moves, you must win a round to get a "power pill".
If you're taking a few too many body slams, complete a somersault move up and over the opponent. This will give you a split-second to get your bearings.
The Pits
Although the digitized graphics and sound effects are almost identical to the Arcade and the Genesis versions, the moves, unfortunately, aren't. While each character's basic moves can be performed with relative ease, the quest for the much needed super moves is a bit of a drag. Guess the third time isn't always a charm.
Hey, all of you contact sport fans out there, great news! The action-packed arcade smash, Pit-Fighter, is on its way home with just as much fist-pounding excitement as its quarter-crunching big brother.
Tengen's done an amazing job of animating the digitized graphics; it's so close to the arcade version you can feel the body heat. Slammin' simultaneous two player action puts you and a friend into the video-skins of one of three characters to live the life of a Pit-Fighter and travel to seven sleazy underground locales in search of the ultimate fight -- the one with the biggest cash prize!
The Challengers
The three Pit-Fighters made the trip from the coin-op, as did their bust-em-up Super Moves. You or your buddy can choose: Kato, a martial arts master, Ту, a champion kockboxer, and Buzz, an ex-pro wrestler. In two-player mode you can't double-up on a character.
Kato's normal moves consist of a jump-kick, a front kick, a reverse kick, a straight-forward jab punch, and a head-level elbow strike. A super quick, rapid fire chest-punch is his special move. And, when an opponent's down, he uses a two-handed downward blow to finish the job.
Ty's moves include a jab-kick, a flying jump-kick, a forward jab-punch, an upper-cut punch, and an awesome head-banging knee slam. He launches into a super Flying Double Kick as a special move. To put 'em out for the count, this guy uses a nasty downward heel kick.
Last, though nowhere near least, there's Buzz with his two special moves. Move Number One sends opponents sailing right over his head before gravity takes over. With move Number Two, Buzz grinds em' into the dirt with a pile driver. His normal moves consist of a head-butt, a forward punch, a side-kick, and a jumping side-kick. Finally, when he downs an opponent, he performs a gut-wrenching knee drop to take 'em out!
If fists and feet aren't making it, try a weapon. You find nine types including Shurikans, Knives, Bar Stools, and even Motorcycles!
Some Ugly Competition
You trade blows with a gross gang of opponents during your quest for fame and fortune. These brutes are as ugly as nasty-looking as their names sound: the Executioner, Southside Jim, Angel, C.C. Rider, Chainman Eddie, Heavy Metal, and Mad Miles. Be prepared to face some of those ugly mugs more than once, too. Pound through all 10 matches, emerge intact, and you're rewarded with... more video-world pain. It's a no-go on the dough until you bash heads with the king of fighters. Pit-Fighter beware, this guy has quite a few tricks up his dirty sleeve!
Post-Fight Review
Pit-Fighter uses digitization to reproduce sound and graphics that are as awesome as those in the arcade version. In fact, we've never heard as much digitized sound from a Genesis game before, and every character (right down to the cheering crowd) sports moves and poses that are loaded with realism. If you want outrageous two-player, simultaneous action, step into the pit with Pit-Fighter.
