FRIDAY SPORTS: Tigers sting Jackets; Gamecocks host Gators Saturday; Furman heads to Cullowhee
TL Hanna's Martavis Bryant had 176 receiving yards, while Tahj Boyd tossed three touchdowns and ran for another as #8 Clemson rolled over Georgia Tech 55-31 Thursday night. Boyd had the 17th 300-yard game of his career. Boyd left the game in the fourth quarter with a collarbone injury. Doctors say the star quarterback will be okay to go when the Tigers face The Citadel next Saturday.
Coming up Saturday, the South Carolina Gamecocks look to stay in the race for the SEC Eastern Division when they host the reeling Florida Gators at Williams Brice Stadium. Kick off is set for 7:00 PM. And, the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry renews as #25 Georgia faces #7 Auburn at Jordan Hare Stadium.
Winners of its last two Southern Conference games, including a 35-17 triumph over 20th-ranked Samford last Saturday, Furman will look to continue its late season surge this Saturday when it travels to Cullowhee, N.C., to take on Western Carolina in a 3:30 p.m. Southern Conference contest at E.J. Whitmire Stadium. Coverage on 96.3 WGOG will begin with the Paladin Pre-Game Show at 2:30 PM. Furman (5-5, 4-2 SoCon), whose three-game SoCon win streak features triumphs over Appalachian State (27-10), Georgia Southern (16-14), and Samford, is currently tied for second place in the SoCon standings with Samford and Wofford.
The Indianapolis Colts pulled out a 30-27 win over the Tennessee Titans in Nashville Thursday night, overcoming a 14-0 first-quarter deficit. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck was 23 of 36 for 232 yards and Adam Vinatieri kicked three field goals for the team, including one from 50 yards. Titans QB Ryan Fitzpatrick went 22 of 28 for 222 yards with one touchdown pass.
Veteran guard Richie Incognito filed a grievance Thursday against the Miami Dolphins over his suspension for the bullying allegations against him by teammate Jonathan Martin. The NFL Players Association released a statement saying, "In the grievance, Incognito requests that the hearing be held on an expedited basis so that he can immediately resume playing for the team." The NFL is investigating whether Incognito harassed or bullied Martin, who abruptly left the Dolphins last month to get help for emotional issues.
High School football playoff action features feature top-ranked Daniel playing host to Clinton in Class AAA. Belton-Honea Path goes to Broome. Wren will host Chapman. In Class AA, Division I, Pendleton will host Newberry, while Crescent goes to Pelion.
The Furman men's basketball team will go in search of its third consecutive victory when it caps its season-opening three-game homestand on Friday night against 2013 NCAA Sweet Sixteen participant Florida Gulf Coast. Tip-off on YP Court at Timmons Arena is slated for 6 p.m. with coverage on 96.3 WGOG beginning at 5:30 PM. The Paladins, who improved to 2-0 with a 75-64 victory over Gardner-Webb on Tuesday night, will try to register their first 3-0 start to a season since the 2009-10 campaign and remain unbeaten under first-year head coach Niko Medved.
Geoff Beans, a standout at Ottawa Hills High School in Toledo, Ohio, has inked a national letter of intent to join the Furman men's basketball program next season, according to Paladin head coach Niko Medved.
Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera won his second straight American League Most Valuable Player award Thursday in voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, while Pittsburgh Pirates centerfielder Andrew McCutchen won in the National League. Cabrera led the majors in hitting at .348 and finished second with 44 home runs and 137 RBIs. McCutchen hit .317 with 21 home runs and 84 RBIs.
Major League Baseball will be expanding instant replay next season, voting unanimously Thursday to approve funding for it, and planning to okay the new rules in January after agreements with the umpires' and players' unions. Commissioner Bud Selig, who'd long opposed instant replay, said yesterday, "This is quite historic." Starting in 2008, baseball had allowed replay only to determine whether potential home runs were fair or foul or cleared fences, but now, almost every decision will be subject to review, except calls for balls and strikes, checked swings and some foul tips. When a manager wants to challenge a call, he will notify an umpire, which will trigger a review in New York by what are likely to be current or retired umpires. There will be a maximum of two challenges per manager per game, but if the challenge is upheld, it won't be counted against the manager's limit.

Top Tips for the Ultimate Cocktail Party
Whether throwing a small gathering or Gatsy-style bash, check out these must-read tips for entertaining for a flawless and fun bash.
Whether throwing a small gathering or Gatsy-style bash, check out these must-read tips for entertaining for a flawless and fun bash.
As Celebrations.com's resident cocktail therapists, we've got a recipe to ensure any cocktail party you throw guarantees success. So long as you follow our cardinal tips, your party's hit factor is in the bag.
Start out Small
If you're new to entertaining, host a little get-together with five to ten friends to get your feet wet, and then eventually graduate to the bigger bashes. No one is born the perfect hostess over night - it takes lots of practice and experience to pull off a huge soiree without breaking a sweat.
Prepare Beforehand
Serve food that can be prepped in advance so you can just heat it up when the party starts and you won't get stuck in the kitchen. Some of the recipes we always turn to:
Remember, you don't have to scramble to get super fancy foods on the menu. Even the simplest, most classic recipes like Mac and Cheese can be dressed up!
For your cocktails, do all of the slicing and muddling ahead of time, make sure to have lots of ice at the ready, and set out glasses for your guests to serve themselves.
Guests' Arrival
Hand out cocktails and appetizers when your guests arrive so they won't have to wait for the hors d'oeuvres to heat up or the wine to chill.
Plus, it will give you a moment or two of quality time with all of your friends!
Don't Skimp on Food and Drink
Nothing is worse than being at a party where they run out of wine or don't serve enough food and you have to stop for pizza on the way home!
Don't worry about having too much-leftovers can either be frozen for the next soiree or packed into lunches and heated up for dinners.
Keep cocktail ingredients for your next get-together since liquor has an extremely long shelf life.
Send your guests home with doggie bags-especially when it comes to dessert. (Bonus: you won't be tempted to eat it all yourself!)
Create Your Own Cocktail
Add a simple "Signature Cocktail" to your drink menu to create a special atmosphere for your party. Bonus points if it goes with the party's theme or compliments the season we're in!
It's simple enough to create a signature drink - don't worry so much about the actual recipe as the look, taste and name of your sip. If you're hosting an outdoor party or a spring gathering, opt for our Skinny Cucumber Watermelon Cooler.
Music is Key
Make a fun playlist , put it on shuffle, and have it playing when the first guest arrives. Whether you play Frank Sinatra at an intimate dinner party or crank up Jay-Z at a late-night dance party, your guests will appreciate the ambiance.
Above All, Have Fun!
The host absolutely sets the tone for the party; guests won't have a clue if things aren't going smoothly in the kitchen or if someone spills wine on the couch. They will, however, remember if you freak out about it.
Jennifer Kelly Geddes has hosted Christmas cookie swaps, New Year's open houses, Thanksgiving for 22, and all manner of dinner parties in her Manhattan and Ghent, NY homes.Read More »

Augustin-Jean Fresnel (/freɪˈnɛl/ fray-NEL; French: [ɔ.ɡy.stɛ̃ ʒɑ̃ fʁɛ.nɛl]; 10 May 1788 – 14 July 1827), was a French engineer and physicist who contributed significantly to the establishment of the theory of wave optics. Fresnel studied the behaviour of light both theoretically and experimentally.
He is perhaps best known as the inventor of the Fresnel lens, first adopted in lighthouses while he was a French commissioner of lighthouses, and found in many applications today. His equations on waves and reflectivity, the Fresnel equations, also form the basis for many applications in computer graphics today — for instance, the rendering of water.
Personal life and education[edit]
Fresnel was the son of an architect, born at Broglie (in present-day Eure), he received a rigorous Catholic upbringing from his parents, who were involved in the Jansenist movement.[1] His early progress in learning was slow, and he still could not read when he was eight years old, at thirteen he entered the École Centrale in Caen, and at sixteen and a half the École Polytechnique, where he acquitted himself with distinction. From there he went to the École des Ponts et Chaussées.
He received only scant public recognition during his lifetime for his labours in the cause of optical science, some of his papers were not printed by the Académie des Sciences until many years after his death. But as he wrote to Young in 1824: in himself "that sensibility, or that vanity, which people call love of glory" had been blunted. "All the compliments," he says, "that I have received from Arago, Laplace and Biot never gave me so much pleasure as the discovery of a theoretic truth, or the confirmation of a calculation by experiment".[2]
Fresnel has been described as a man with interest in religious questions and deep faith in God.[3][4][5] As a form of consolation, he took religion very seriously especially during his illness.[6][7]
He spent much of his life in Paris, and died of tuberculosis at Ville-d'Avray, near Paris,[2] his is one of the 72 names inscribed on the Eiffel Tower. The writer Prosper Mérimée (1803-1870) was his first cousin.
He served as an engineer successively in the departments of Vendée, Drôme and Ille-et-Vilaine; but having supported the Bourbons in 1814 he lost his appointment on Napoleon's return to power.[2] He appears to have begun his research in optics around 1814, when he prepared a paper on the aberration of light, although it was never published; in 1815, on the second restoration of the monarchy, he obtained a post as engineer in Paris.
In 1818 he wrote a memoir on diffraction, for which he received the prize of the Académie des Sciences at Paris the following year, he was the first to construct a special type of lens, now called a Fresnel lens, as a substitute for mirrors in lighthouses. In 1819, he was nominated to be a commissioner of lighthouses; in 1823 he was unanimously elected a member of the academy. In 1825 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society of London; in 1827, the time of his last illness, the Royal Society of London awarded him the Rumford Medal.[2]
In 1818 he published his Memoir on the Diffraction of Light, submitted to the Academe of science in 1818,[8] his discoveries and mathematical deductions, building on experimental work by Thomas Young, extended the wave theory of light to a large class of optical phenomena, especially, to the double-refraction property of Iceland Spar, or calcite.[9]
In 1817, Young had proposed a small transverse component to light, while yet retaining a far larger longitudinal component. Fresnel, by the year 1821, was able to show by mathematical methods that polarization could be explained only if light was entirely transverse, with no longitudinal vibration whatsoever,[10] he proposed the aether drag hypothesis to explain a lack of variation in astronomical observations. His use of two plane mirrors of metal, forming with each other an angle of nearly 180°, allowed him to avoid the diffraction effects caused (by the apertures) in the experiment of F. M. Grimaldi on interference. This allowed him to conclusively account for the phenomenon of interference in accordance with the wave theory.[citation needed]
Polarized light research[edit]
With François Arago he studied the laws of the interference of polarized rays, he obtained circularly polarized light by means of a rhombus of glass, known as a Fresnel rhomb, having obtuse angles of 126° and acute angles of 54°. The Fresnel–Arago laws are three laws which summarise some of the more important properties of interference between light of different states of polarization, the laws are as follows:[11]
- Two orthogonal, coherent linearly polarized waves cannot interfere.
- Two parallel coherent linearly polarized waves will interfere in the same way as natural light.
- The two constituent orthogonal linearly polarized states of natural light cannot interfere to form a readily observable interference pattern, even if rotated into alignment (because they are incoherent).
The Fresnel equations describe the behaviour of light when moving between media of differing refractive indices. When light moves from a medium of a given refractive index n1 into a second medium with refractive index n2, both reflection and refraction of the light may occur.
The Fresnel diffraction equation is an approximation of Kirchhoff-Fresnel diffraction that can be applied to the propagation of waves in the near field,[12] it is used to calculate the diffraction pattern created by waves passing through an aperture or around an object, when viewed from relatively close to the object. In contrast the diffraction pattern in the far field region is given by the Fraunhofer diffraction equation.

Milking machines are used for five or six or more hours every day, and often much more than that. Broken-down machines or machines operating inefficiently cost in reduced milk volume, time, damaged udders and reduced milk quality. Regular service inspection will allow performance at high efficiency. There are certain maintenance checks that should be performed by the operator at every milking, and every 50 and 250 hours. These include:
- Wash outside of milk line, receiver jar and trap, claws, and hoses. Empty trap.
- Check all rubber parts for holes, tears or water in shells. Replace liners or short air tubes that have holes.
- Check vacuum level and vacuum recovery time (no more than two to three seconds after opening one milking unit).
- Check vacuum pumps for belt tension (within 0.5- inch from rest position) and oil reservoir.
- Make sure pulsators are working. Check with your thumb in the liner. Check each bleeder vent in every milking unit. A paper clip could be used on claw vents, but a finer wire is needed for vents in short milk tubes.
- Listen for air leaks.
- Clean vacuum regulator and moisture drain valves.
- Check pulsator and vacuum regulator filters and clean or replace if necessary.
- Check short vacuum tubes with vacuum gauge to determine if each pulsator opens and closes fully.
- Check stall cocks for leaks and electrical connections for tightness.
- Break down receiver jars and weigh jars and clean fittings and gaskets.
Every four to six weeks:
- Disassemble pulsators and clean air ports and screens. Replace worn parts.
- Check each pulsator for proper operation with a vacuum gauge.
- Disassemble and clean vacuum regulators and replace air filters.
- Flush pulsator vacuum lines.
- Check condition of air tubes, vacuum hoses, and milk hoses.
- Wash trap inside and out; inspect float.
Every six months:
- Evaluate the entire milking system.
- Replace all pulsator rubber parts, hoses, and air tubes.
- Replace all milk hoses.
- Replace receiver jar gasket.
- Replace rubber hoses and rubber hose nozzles used to wash udders.
- Check belts and oiler on vacuum pump(s).

How I spent my summer
A few things were keeping me awake in the wee small hours of Monday morning.
None had anything to do with stock market crashes, the boring federal election in Alberta, processed meat, the price of gasoline or the new software program at work.
What woke me up was this strange short beeping sound.
Turns out it was the carbon monoxide detector telling me it was unplugged. When it's unplugged, it beeps once in awhile, thanks to a backup battery.
It had accidentally been unplugged. It had to wait until 1 a.m. Monday to start complaining.
Then brightness of the night kept me awake. It was the full moon. It seemed like daybreak. I started reflecting on my summer holidays that had just ended.
This year, I did something different. I did not go to B.C. It had nothing to do with the price of gasoline. It was more a case of indecision, and as the days went by and I got doing other activities, B.C.'s Okanagan became more and more elusive.
The first few days of my big summer holiday involved a garage sale. It amazes me how people start cruising by or park and wait, in anticipation before the sale even starts. Garage sales are kind of fun and probably do more to get people talking to their neighbours than anything else. It's kind of amazing, too, that some people come along and try to sell you their things. I had two different "vendors" come by, one offering fresh baked apple pie and the other had a van full of used golf clubs. It's a brilliant idea when you think about it — a roving farmers market.
Holidays started in earnest with a week canoeing and fishing in God's country, west of Nordegg. This area is becoming noticeably more developed and busier each passing year. Even in the third week of August, Hwy 11 west of Rocky Mountain House was busy with people hauling RVs.
Rocky itself has exploded with development. Does that town ever see a ton of passing through traffic now as people aim westerly.
Out at Fish Lake, there's nothing like rising early with the mist still covering the water and paddling across to where the sun first hits the water.
But how big a disappointment it was that Fish Lake doesn't have many fish in it. As recently as two years ago, you couldn't begin to count the trout rising in the evening. This year, you were lucky to see even a few ripples. What happened?
I was not the only camper wondering. One campground worker said that suckers had got into the lake and that people were catching them instead of the usual rainbow trout. I did catch one trout on the fly rod but I was one of the lucky ones. Something is wrong in that lake.
One day, we zipped the canoe over to nearby Goldeye Lake and after paddling the entire shoreline, we were beginning to think that lake too had changed. But then as we moved across the deeper waters into the lake's centre, we hit the motherlode. We caught and released until we got tired of it.
After returning to Red Deer for a few days, we headed to the Body Worlds exhibit in Edmonton. It's a German exhibit of real human bodies that have been treated with a special process called Plastination. It was fascinating and at the end of the exhibit several people were filling out forms to donate their bodies.
It's too bad that the Telus World of Science, where the exhibit is staged, has such a great gift store offering many educational items but they are all overpriced. And the public washrooms were dirty.
By comparison, I was pleasantly surprised that the class act, the Royal Tyrrell Museum near Drumheller, has a gift store where prices are reasonable. And the washrooms were really clean.
I hadn't been down that way for about 15 years, but since the holiday was turning into a day-tripper, Drumheller seemed like to good idea. The Badlands are really amazing to look at and drive through. It's better than any movie, and the museum is one of Alberta's best treasures. Judging by the many different languages I heard while there, people from around the world are learning this, too. It's nice, too, that the museum isn't named after some politician.
The only thing I wondered a bit about was why some of the large exhibit rooms are so dark.
So we did some other things too, like shopping in Calgary and taking my almost 80-year-old mother out for supper. If I have as much mental clarity as she does when I'm that old, I'll be forever grateful.
I learned two new things while on holidays. One was how to make short movies on my computer and post them to my social networking site. The other was something I never thought I would do in a million years — golf.
Who knew it could be so difficult to hit a golf ball, and who knew one could be so delighted when all things come together and that ball actually goes further than 20 feet?
I confess that during my last week of holidays, I golfed three times and also spent considerable time out at the driving range. I won't bore you with the details but I do admit it's something I never thought I would enjoy. Too bad for me I'm just getting into it and the frost is almost on the pumpkin.
Ah well, it's back to the grindstone.

LONDON (Oct. 6)
The Palestine problem drew attention in Parliament and press today as Britain's high commissioner in the holy land arrived in London to confer with Government leaders on future policy and Colonial Secretary Malcolm MacDonald saw Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the Jewish Agency, regarding the Palestine situation.
Sir Harold A. MacMichael arrived at Croydon Airport at 4:25 p.m. It was understood he was summoned from jerusalem to discuss the whole pales tine situation in view of the forthcoming publication of the Woodhead commission's report.
Government circles were understood to be gravely concerned over the admitted "serious deterioration" in the situation, which is resulting in paralysis of the pales tine civil administration. the cabinet seems determined to end the present deadlock as soon as possible in view of the effect of the arab rebellion on british prestige, not only in the near east, but in Europe. chancellor Adolf Hitler's contemptuous reference, in his Berlin speech of Sept. 26, to the state of chaos existing in "the Jewish State in Palestine" is still borne in mind.
The Government is rushing plans for publication of the commission's report and a statement of policy. steps will be taken speedily to implement the report, both through Parliament and through the League of Nations.
Assurance that Parliament would not be presented with a fait accompli was given in Commons today by Mr. MacDonald. Laborite H.L. Nathan asked assurances that no steps be taken altering Palestine's political and international status until parliament had been given an opportunity of expressing its opinion. he asked that commons not be put in a position of being forced to confirm or reject a decision already taken and put into operation. He insisted that the House be given an opportunity to consider the policy before its adoption by the government.
The Colonial Secretary replied that the House must confirm any arrangement as to future policy and that the government would not commit commons until it had an opportunity to pass judgment. he said he did not anticipate a government decision before the house re-assembled in November.
The Government is meanwhile carrying on consultations with Foreign Minister Tewfik Suwaidi of Iraq, who is understood to be proposing a cantonization scheme with the approval of King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia. Suwaidi has already discussed the plan with Lord Halifax, British Foreign Secretary, and was scheduled to see the Colonial Secretary today. He was also reported to be conferring with dr. Weizmann.
The Jewish Agency was prompted to issue a statement which said: "We state unequivocally that the Jewish people reject any solution condemning them to a minority status in Palestine." The statement added that the Jews remained ready to cooperate with the Arabs for the general welfare of the country.
According to newspaper accounts, the Iraq plan provides for conversion of the country into an independent state allied by treaty to Britain and governed under a constitution to be drawn up by a constituent assembly which would guarantee full civil and religious rights to all communities. local autonomy would be granted to arab and Jewish towns on educational and municipal affairs. No further Jewish immigration would be permitted, and rights of the separate arab and Jewish communities would be guaranteed by Britain for the duration of the Anglo-Palestine treaty.
Iraq, and also Egypt, came up in Parliament yesterday in connection with Palestine. Geoffrey Mander, Liberal, demanded that the Government make representations to Baghdad and Cairo to end what he called intrigues against the Palestine administration. Foreign Undersecretary Richard A. Butler said the Government was satisfied that the attitudes of the Iraqi and Egyptian Governments were entirely correct.
Newspapers, meanwhile, devoted considerable space to editorial comment on the pales tine situation, all of them stressing its seriousness and the importance of clearing it up with all dispatch.
The Times asserted that the Arab revolt had passed the brigandage stage and was assuming the aspect of a rebellion by a united arab people. declaring the rebel "government" was completely in control of all pales tine except Samaria and large sections of the Galilee, the editorial said the rebels were winning increasing support from the effendis (landowners) and townspeople, while the mandatory power was handicapped by its sense of fairness, its belief in democratic rule and its promises to ensure the welfare of the governed.
Only the promises to the Jews and the pathetic urgency of the Jewish plight, The Times said, have persuaded Britain to attempt what under other circumstances would be regarded by British public opinion as an unjust attempt to make a people accept a state of affairs which they believed inimical to their national interests. the Jews cannot be left in the lurch, the editorial concluded, but unless the Jews are prepared to ride roughshod over Palestine's majority, then some other way must be found to solve the Jewish problem and the Palestine problem other than by beating a people into submission.
Both the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail urged strong and immediate measures to counteract the threatened concerted arab uprising. the telegraph said the position was not one where action could await the findings of a commission. the mail declared that once the Government reached a solution which was fair and final and announced that it meant to impose it "without nonsense from anybody," the pales tine terrorism would fade.

The Sta. Isabel College Library was first put up in the year 1632 and was originally housed in Casa Real de la Miseracordia, an institution which took care of the orphaned daughters of the Spanish soldiers who were for the service of the King. Most of its collections were books written in Spanish. Religious books out numbered the other collections. Several years later, it was destroyed by the fire during the liberation of Manila . The Sisters sought refuge at Sta. Rita College which was fortunately spared from the ravaged of war. A benevolent and compassionate Msgr. Vicente Reyes , the Parish Priest of San Miguel, offered some rooms to help the sisters starts anew their apostolate of educating the young. One room was a library. Though small, it contained varied book collection just enough to meet the need of its clientele.
Sr. Juana Zabalza, was the first Superior to head the community of the Daughters of Charity in Sta. Isabel College after the Second World War. Sr. Candida Ocampo , the indefatigable Principal who later became the first Filipina Sister Superior in
Sta. Isabel College , was able to acquire the former Sta. Rita Hall at 210 taft Avenue , Manila . Since then Sta. Rita Hall was transformed into what we call SANTA ISABEL COLLEGE at 210 Taft Avenue , Manila . The school library size grew occupying 340 square meters, enough to house numerous collections Sta. Isabel College had acquired since then.
The first library in Taft Avenue was located at the second floor of the building facing Luneta, now Rizal Park .
In the year 1967, the library was transferred in the second floor of the Basic Education Department. It serves the Elementary, High School and College Departments. There was a collection of 18,000 volumes of books which were not properly catalogued by then, and there was no qualified librarian to manage the library.
In the later part of 1986 with an increase of enrollment, there was a need for the Higher Education Library to transfer to the new building where the classrooms of the Higher Education Department was located. It was at this period in time when a qualified Librarian headed by Sr. Angelina Tamayo, D.C. took over the management of the Basic Education Department and Higher Education Libraries.
In keeping with the vision-mission of D.C. schools, Sta. Isabel College provides services to facilitate the integral formation of its clientele. Thus, in 1988 Sr. Sonia Rocha, D.C., the Directress of Sta. Isabel College approved the construction of Audio- Visual Center to house the audio-visual materials and equipments. This center is located at the ground floor of the old building. Sr. Purification Faune, D.C. was appointed to head the libraries which included the Audio-visual center, the Auditorium and the Conference room. The significant role that the Media Center and Libraries plays in the education process is indeed undebatable. The properly designed instructional materials can enhance and promote teaching learning process.
Santa Isabel College Programs, that is Elementary, High School and Colleges of Education, Liberal Arts and Commerce are all PAASCU accredited. The libraries and AV Center's improvement and among others are on going as part of the implementation of the PAASCU recommendations.
The Sta. Isabel College envisioned to provide best facilities that will enhance learning process that on July 25, 1998 , the blessing of the newly constructed College Library and Multipurpose covered court , named after patron saint, St. Elizabeth of Hungary , was held.

In addition to trying to create restrictions and oversight over any new sand mining operation in Houston County, the Houston County Board is still negotiating with Minnesota Sands and its attempt to mine the Tracy and Michelle Erickson property.
Interpretation over a conditional use permit on the property has been both contentious and confusing.
An August decision by the county board to order an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) on the mine is being executed, but members of the public were astounded to learn the firm preparing the worksheet is G-Cubed, a firm they say has too many connections to the operation to perform unbiased work.
"I asked that you support the call for an EAW, and I was alarmed to find out it is being prepared by the project that intends to do the sand mining. That is absurd," resident Dr. Chad Olness said at the Oct. 9 county board meeting. He added, "I think we have a moral, ethical obligation to see that these studies are done transparently and properly."
Minnesota Sands declined comment on the issue in a follow-up email. Jennifer Dessner, Minnesota Sands spokesperson, said, "We thank you for the opportunity to comment on these statements, but at this time we decline any comment as we are in pending litigation with Houston County regarding the Erickson site."
County board members said they thought the worksheet was being executed by an unbiased third party and seemed surprised by the turn of events.
Commissioner Teresa Walter asked, "Why didn't we hire an outside person to begin with?"
Environmental Services Director Rick Frank said the county has ordered such worksheets on other projects, and the applicant has historically selected their own firm to conduct the EAW.
But members of the public said frac sand mining has no history in Houston County.
Frank continued and said the EAW process includes a time when the Department of Natural Resources, the public and other germane parties will be solicited for comment.
If concerns are flagged at that point they need to be addressed by the applicant, Frank said.
The ensuing discussion became a whirlwind of county employees reciting statutes, the county board chairman getting up and trying to locate the zoning director and members of the public pressing for more transparency.
Even members of the media and the county auditor had to ask what exactly the board wanted to pursue next.
"We should have had more involvement. The contentiousness of this situation warranted as much openness and unbiased opinion as we can muster. There's a trust factor here that I think we've completely obliterated," Commissioner Jack Miller said.
As discussion continued the sticking point seemed to focus on when a third party evaluator comes in and who pays for it.
Should a third party be involved during the creation of the document or during the evaluation of document, was the question.
The idea that the third party should execute the EAW from the beginning was loudly advocated for by the public, and the board agreed.
"I guess the question I have now is, is the train too far down the track," Miller said.
"We would have been better off hiring a third party from the beginning," Walter added.
Frank warned there is a legal element to this and wondered if their interpretation of the statutes would hold water.
Legal representation was not available, or scheduled, for the meeting.
The board asked that a list of viable third party firms be generated.

New Fruit Of The Loom Bras Let You Mix & Match Cup Sizes
It's a sad fact, but breasts aren't exactly symmetrical. Most of us have nearly matching pairs, but some women have two completely different cup sizes, forcing them to wear a bra to fit the larger breast and accommodate for the smaller breast with padding or a prosthetic. However, Fruit of the Loom and Amazon have come up with an ingenious idea that I can't believe no one thought of before. Fruit of the Loom is now producing "Pick Your Perfect Pair," a collection of right cup and left cup bra halves that come in polka dots and standard black and white. Each piece is only $5, and the bra halves clip together in the front and back. This sounds like a godsend for women with slight differences in breast size, like a C and a D. But if one boob is an A and the other is a C, I bet some will still resort to stuffing to make them more equally sized. [Racked]

What Are Your Shopping Dealbreakers?
We talk a lot about dating dealbreakers here at the Frisky — things like neckbeards and global warming denial that can instantly end a date or even a relationship. But what about shopping dealbreakers? Example: for me, a tag that says "hand wash only" is the equivalent of a guy who wears spotless white sneakers. No matter how much I'm attracted to it or how strong it looks, I know it is actually fragile and high maintenance and things will never work out between us. My friend Rachel will walk away from even the most beautiful dress if it contains one percent polyester. My brother won't buy clothes that are made in China. Is there anything that would cause you to put an otherwise awesome piece of clothing back on the rack?

U.S. Under-23s Hammer Bolton, 4-1, Behind Two Carroll Goals
CHORLEY, England (Thursday, August 1, 2002) - The U.S. Under-23 Men's National Team, playing as an Under-21 side, topped Bolton's Under-21 team 4-1 at Bolton's training ground in Chorley, England today. U.S. midfielder Brian Carroll scored twice to go along with goals from Edson Buddle and Alecko Eskandarian. After not scoring in 30 matches across two years with the U.S. Under-20s, Carroll has now scored three times in five games at the Under-23 level.
The U.S. dominated play, outshooting Bolton 14-3. U.S. goalkeeper Doug Warren was only called on to make two saves, while his Bolton counterpart came up with six.
Carroll provided the only scoring of the first half, putting the U.S. on the board in the 38th minute with an unassisted goal.
Alecko Eskandarian, Carroll's teammate at the World Youth Championship in Argentina last year, doubled the U.S. lead just five minutes into the second half, finishing from a Seth Trembly pass.
Bolton wasted no time getting back into the game, scoring from the penalty spot just one minute later.
But Eskandarian set up Buddle for the USA's third goal in the 58th minute, and Carroll sealed the win in the 76th minute with his second goal of the game.
The Under-23s next face the Under-21 side of Huddersfield on August 3. During the Under-23s tour of England, Glenn Myernick's team will also play Under-21 sides from Crewe Alexandria (August 5) and Manchester United (August 7).
The U.S. team in England includes three MLS players, the Colombus Crew's Edson Buddle and the Colorado Rapids' duo of Kyle Beckerman and Seth Trembly. All three MLS players started for the U.S.
The U.S. Under-23s are essentially an Under-21 team preparing for the 2004 Olympics in Athens. The U-23 roster features eight players who were part of the U.S. Under-20 MNT that played in the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship in Argentina. The Under-23s have posted a 2-1-2 record this year. All five matches have taken place in Europe.
U.S. Lineup - 1-Doug Warren; 3-Ricky Lewis, 6-Alex Yi (12-Scott Thompson, 70), 4-David Stokes (17-Nelson Akwari, 46), 2-Chris Wingert; 2-Brian Carroll, 10-Ned Grabavoy (9-Logan Pause, 54), 5-Kyle Beckerman (8-Kenny Arena, 68), 13-Seth Trembly; 11-Alecko Eskandarian (15-David Testo, 62), 14-Edson Buddle (23-Jason Thompson, 58).

Given my injurious year, I'm calling it for 2013 so here's my review and 2014 goals.
At about this time last year I blooped a set of ambitious goals. I knew they were ambitious and would be difficult to attain, but I was hyped from finally being back to running and believing I had a great base. The goals weren't mutually exclusive so in reaching one goal I'd be well on my way to reaching the next. As it turns out, I had a very good cardio-vascular base, but a paltry strength and power base. My mobility and balance were poor, too. Thus, I quickly got overuse injuries and realized within a couple of months that few, if any of these goals would be reached. Below is a re-listing of the goals with a review for each. All in all, the goals were naÏve and an example of my training as if I were 25 instead of 35. (On my asking why I seemed to be injury prone for the first time in my life, the PT bluntly said 'you're 35, stop training as if you are 25'". He then elaborated on the practical implications of age on physical activity. I felt old-ish for the 2nd time in my life.).
2013 Review
Primary Goals
1. Join a gym and cross-train. I need to get back in the pool and on the bike, and do some weight training to improve my overall fitness and health.
Review:I'll call this a partial success. I joined a gym (well, I get a free membership through my employer, but I actually went and got the access card) and did quite a bit of strength training, especially later in the year. My abs, in particular, are considerably stronger now. My lower back is, too, to an extent. But I did minimal swimming and no biking. I spent some time in the pool early, but then I got rear-ended on my way home from work one day, and the resultant whip-lash injury prevented me from swimming. Instead, more PT to strengthen the muscles, break-up scar-tissue and lengthen tissue in my neck, shoulders and upper back. Since that PT has ended (and I feel good), I've maintained my gym-sessions working on strengthening both the upper- and lower-body. So far, so good, but I still have a long way to go before I'm back to a good level of fitness.
2. Run a half marathon or longer distance each month.
Review: Fail. I ran a 13.1 mile training run in January. It was great. But since then I was rehabbing my knee.
3. Find a local half marathon and complete it in under 1:50:00
Review: Fail. This was supposed to be the Rutgers half in April or the Princeton half in November. Obviously, since I didn't run that distance since January that didn't happen.
4. Run one marathon distance race or "training" run.
Review:Fail. And given how injury prone I am at my current fitness level, and all the non-running commitments I have, I am starting to doubt I will ever do one. I can probably make my peace with that at some point, but for now it hurts.
5. Run 1000 miles for the year.
Review: This was supposed to be a by-product of reaching the above goals. If I ran enough to reach those, I almost surely would also have run 1000 miles for the year. Though I stopped keeping track, I'm certain it was a Fail.
6. Pay more attention to what I eat. I eat fairly healthfully, but that's more a by-product of being a vegetarian than being conscious of what I eat. In fact, other than my standard post-run strawberry yogurt I pretty much eat what I want. This year I'd like to be a bit more conscious about eating balanced.
Review: Success. I signed up for a myfitnesspal.com account and tracked my eating the best I could for about two weeks. As it turns out, I was already keeping a fairly balanced diet. I did have a bit higher salt intake than recommended and back-loaded my calories too much (i.e. too many calories at dinner and not enough at breakfast.). The days I was off the recommended amounts were the days I ate pizza. I've started consciously front-loading my calories by eating a larger, more protein-rich breakfast and often, though not often enough, limiting calories at dinner. I've started cooking a bit more and experimented with new, healthier dishes. I've also increased my fruit intake (already ate lots of veggies) and snack on nuts rather than chips. All in all, I was surprised by my relatively balanced diet so I only had to make minor tweaks. It has worked fairly well, but I'm not looking to be a pro-athlete here so if I don't have a perfect diet that's fine. It's good enough.
Secondary Goals:
1. Complete the Olympic Distance New Jersey State Triathlon.
Review:Fail. If not for my car accident, I may have reached this goal. According to the PT, swimming and cycling would have been great cross-training to maintain cardiovascular fitness and also address some of the muscle imbalances that caused my knee injury.
2. Complete the 9+1 qualifying program for the 2014 NYC Marathon.
Review: Fail.
- 3. Run the Philadelphia Marathon.
Review: Fail. See main goal 4 above. If I ever do run a marathon, Philly will likely be first. We have unfinished business going back to 2006 (DNS, long story. Actually, not too long: a PhD program and marathon training are hard to combine).
Goals for 2014
I have two goals for 2014: (1) get healthy and (2) stay healthy. The strategy is a bit more elaborate and contingent on approval from the sports medicine doc, with which I have an appointment the first week of January. But it has been developed by assessing my imbalances (i.e. injury causes) and reading the science directly and science-informed running texts (e.g. Anatomy for Runners by Jay Dicharry). I'm keeping it conservative by doing a long period of strength and stability, followed by a focus on running. Feel free to comment based on your own experience. A detailed plan is too lengthy for the bloop, so here goes an overview of my strategy:
Phase One - Get Healthy (January through June):
1. January through March: Improve flexibility, stability and strength. Focus is on neuromuscular training first, then muscle-strengthening.
- January and 1st half of February: lots of one-legged balance work. Start simple – balancing on one leg – and work up to two- and one-legged balance on balance board or disc. Do simple exercises to build hip and gluteal strength – butt-to-chair two-legged squats, standing hip-abduction, and bridge. Balance work is every day and strength-building is 3 days/week.
- January and 1st half of February: lots of one-legged balance work. Start simple – balancing on one leg – and work up to two- and one-legged balance on balance board or disc. Do simple exercises to build hip and gluteal strength – butt-to-chair two-legged squats, standing hip-abduction, and bridge. Balance work is every day and strength-building is 3 days/week.
- 2nd half of February through March: Increase difficulty of balance and strength work by combining them. Introduce single-legged squats on firm ground and double-legged squats on balance board, if I can maintain form. Start with few reps and build to larger.
- Maintain my 2-day/week core-exercises- day 1: Isometric (3xPlank on Bosu ball, 3x side planks hold for 30-45 seconds); day 2: concentric and eccentric (3x35 sit ups, 3x20 side sit-ups, leg lifts).
- Keep my 4-day/week stretch routine (after exercises). Focus on hip and gluteal mobility. Foam roll/lax-ball trouble areas.
- Running during this period will be minimal (2/week for 20-30 minutes at an easy pace – I can do this pain free now). Row and swim for cardiovascular fitness.
- April through June: Maintain flexibility and strength, build a running-base builing
- Base-building: April - Increase to 3 easy runs a week (2x25-30 minutes, 1x15-20 minutes); May – 3 easy runs/week, substitute 1 easy for "gentle" speed-work every other week (2x25-35 minutes, 1x20 minutes easy or 1x20 minutes pace); June – 2 easy runs/week and 1 long-run or speed work (1x20-30 minutes easy, 1x25-35 minutes easy, 1x45-50 minutes long or 1x30-35 pace).
- Strength and flexibility: stretch 3 days/week (after runs), strength 2 days/week. At this point, strength and stability will largely be combined into the same exercises.
- Maybe cross-train by rowing or swimming 1 day/week.
Phase Two - Stay Healthy:
This part of the strategy isn't very well worked out yet. My goal is to be completely healthy at this point so I can take up a normal 4-day a week training program. I have no goal-race or -times or anything like that. I figured I'd start with a 5-K intermediate training program and when finished move to a 10-K intermediate program. Strength and flexibility will be maintained by stretching 3 days/week and strength training 2 days/week. That should take me through October. November and December will wind down the running by reducing some combination of frequency and intensity. Instead, I will again put the focus on strength and stability, but hopefully to prevent injury. 2015 will be the year I set specific race and time-goals.
So there it is. If I can't get and stay healthy with this plan then running might just not be for me anymore. I'll have to find some other sport to love.

On a quiet cove in Southern Maryland, a series of orange and white markers declares a stretch of water off limits to fishing. Under the surface sits spawning habitat for largemouth bass, a fish that contributes millions of dollars to the region's economy each year and for whom two such sanctuaries have been established in the state. Here, the fish are protected from recreational anglers each spring and studied by scientists hoping to learn more about them and their habitat needs.
The largemouth bass can be found across the watershed and is considered one of the most popular sport fishes in the United States. While regional populations are strong, a changing Chesapeake Bay—think rising water temperatures, disappearing grasses and the continued arrival of invasive species—is changing bass habitat and could have an effect on future fish.
For decades, scientists with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) have collected data on the distribution of largemouth bass, tracking the species and monitoring the state's two sanctuaries in order to gather the knowledge needed to keep the fishery sustainable. Established in 2010 on the Chicamuxen and Nanjemoy creeks, both of which flow into the Potomac River, these sanctuaries have been fortified with plastic pipes meant to serve as spawning structures. And, it seems, these sanctuaries are in high demand during spawning season.
On an overcast day in April, three members of the DNR Tidal Bass Survey team—Joseph Love, Tim Groves and Branson Williams—are surveying the sanctuary in Chicamuxen Creek. Groves flips a switch and the vessel starts to send electrical currents into the water, stunning fish for capture by the scientists on board. The previous day, the team caught, tagged and released 20 bass; this morning, the men catch 19, none of which were tagged the day before.
"This [lack of recaptures] indicates that we have quite a few bass out here," said Love, Tidal Bass Manager.
Indeed, the state's largemouth bass fishery "is pretty doggone good," Love continued. "That said, we recognize that the ecosystem is changing. And I don't think anybody wants to rest on the laurels of a great fishery."
As Love and his team learn how largemouth bass are using the state's sanctuaries, they can work to improve the sanctuaries' function and move to protect them and similar habitats from further development or disturbance.
"We can speculate where the best coves are, but this is the ground truthing that we need to do," Love said.
In the fall, the team will return to the cove to count juvenile bass and report on juvenile-to-adult population ratios. While the assessment of the state's sanctuaries is a small-scale project, it is one "aimed at the bigger picture," Love said.
Love's team is "doing what we can to improve the use of these coves by bass." And protecting bass habitat and improving water quality will have a positive effect on the coves overall, creating healthier systems for neighboring plants and animals.
"By protecting these important areas, we are also protecting the larger ecosystem," Love said.

i deleted a question by accident. the person said that 'i dare to dream' is there fav song and wanted to know what my fav song is and why. A: Hi. Thank you for your question. I love all of my songs (especially 'I Dare To Dream') but Me vs Me is my favorite on this page. The reason is because I was able to write the song from both sides. Good vs Bad. 'I Dare To Dream' is a wish that I hope comes true one day. Me vs Me is the reality. What life is and can be like. For me anyway. I hope that answered ur question. M.L.F.L
Perhaps I was addicted to the dark side Somewhere inside my childhood I missed my heart die And even though we both came from the same places The money and the fame made us all change places How could it be through the misery that came to pass The hard times make a true friend afraid to ask, for currency But you could run to me when you need me, I'll never leave I just needed someone to believe in, as you can see It's a small thing through and true What could I do? Real homies help ya get through, And coming new, he'd do the same thing if he could Cause in the hood true homies make you feel good And half the time we be acting up call the cops Bringing the cease to the peace that was on my block It never stop, when my mama ask me will I change I tell her yeah, but it's clear I'll always be the same Until the end of time
[Chorus: RL] So take, these broken wings I need your hands to come and heal me once again (Until the end of time) So I can fly away, until the end of time Until the end of time Until the end of time
[2Pac] Please Lord forgive me for my life of sin My hard stare seem to scare all my sister's kids So you know I don't hang around the house much This all night money making got me outta touch, shit Ain't flashed a smile in a long while An unexpected birth worst of the ghetto child My attitude got me walking solo Ride out alone in my low-low Watching the whole world move in slow-mo For quiet times disappear listen to the ocean Smoking Ports think my thoughts Then it's back to coasting Who can I trust in this cold world My phony homey had a baby by my own girl But I ain't trippin I'm a player I ain't sweating him I sexed his sister, had her mo' good like a Mexican His next of kin, No remorse it was meant to happen Besides rapping the only thing I did good was scrapping Until the end of time
[Chorus x2]
[2Pac] Now who's to say if I was right or wrong? To live my life as an outlaw all along Remain strong in this planet full of player haters They conversate but Death Row full of demonstrators And in the end drinking Hennessey made all my enemies envy me So cold when I flow eliminating easily Fall to their knees, they plead for their right to breath While beggin me to keep the peace (ha ha) Well I can see close into achieve In times of danger don't freeze time to be a g Follow my lead I supply everything you need An ounce of game and the training to make a g Remember me, as an outcast outlaw Another album out that's what I'm about, more Gettin raw till the day I see my casket Buried as a g while the whole world remembers me Until the end of time
If an angel comes down And takes me away The memories of me And my songs Will always stay Till they can find (Until The End of Time) Until the end of time Till the end of time
Come on come on I see no changes. Wake up in the morning and I ask myself, "Is life worth living? Should I blast myself?" I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black. My stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch. Cops give a damn about a negro? Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero. Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares? One less hungry mouth on the welfare. First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal to brothers. Give 'em guns, step back, and watch 'em kill each other. "It's time to fight back", that's what Huey said. 2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead. I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other. We gotta start makin' changes. Learn to see me as a brother 'stead of 2 distant strangers. And that's how it's supposed to be. How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me? I'd love to go back to when we played as kids but things changed, and that's the way it is
[Bridge w/ changing ad libs] Come on come on That's just the way it is Things'll never be the same That's just the way it is aww yeah [Repeat]
I see no changes. All I see is racist faces. Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races we under. I wonder what it takes to make this one better place... let's erase the wasted. Take the evil out the people, they'll be acting right. 'Cause both black and white are smokin' crack tonight. And only time we chill is when we kill each other. It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other. And although it seems heaven sent, we ain't ready to see a black President, uhh. It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact... the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks. But some things will never change. Try to show another way, but they stayin' in the dope game. Now tell me what's a mother to do? Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you. You gotta operate the easy way. "I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way. Sellin' crack to the kids. "I gotta get paid," Well hey, well that's the way it is.
[Talking:] We gotta make a change... It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes. Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live and let's change the way we treat each other. You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do what we gotta do, to survive.
And still I see no changes. Can't a brother get a little peace? There's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East. Instead of war on poverty, they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me. And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do. But now I'm back with the facts givin' 'em back to you. Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, crack you up and pimp smack you up. You gotta learn to hold ya own. They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone. But tell the cops they can't touch this. I don't trust this, when they try to rush I bust this. That's the sound of my tune. You say it ain't cool, but mama didn't raise no fool. And as long as I stay black, I gotta stay strapped & I never get to lay back. 'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs. Some buck that I roughed up way back... comin' back after all these years. Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat. That's the way it is. uhh
[Bridge 'til fade:] Some things will never change
thank u for ur kind words and support!!! i do appreciate it. much love to u all!!!!!
The first 3 songs are me singing and a little bit of soft rap. The last 3 are hip hop :) M.L.F.L (much love from London)
What would i do if i couldn't do music?

By Jamie McAllister
On last weeks episode the final bout of the quarter finals took place with Delson "Pe De Chumbo" Heleno of Team Wanderlei being defeated by Sergio "Serginho" Moraes of Team Belfort via rear-naked-choke in the first round. Due to Team Belfort dominating the competition with 7 of 8 semi-final spots the teams had to be re-shuffled.
At the start of this weeks episode the coaches try to remain positive after last weeks shake up, Marcos Vinicius "Vina" Borges Pancini, Renee Forte and Delson "Pe de Chumbo" Heleno, all eliminated from the tournament, will move over to Team Belfort & winners Thiago "Bodao" de Oliveira Perpetuo, Sergio "Serginho" Moraes and Godofredo "Pepey" de Oliveira make the move to Team Wanderlei.
After the changes to both teams are official the bouts for the semi-finals are announced for both the Featherweights and the Middleweights. Firstly in the Middleweight division Moraes vs. Daniel Sarafian & Thiago Bodao vs. Cezar "Mutante" Ferreira. Featherweights Hugo "Wolverine" Viana vs. Rony Jason & Pepey vs. Rodrigo Damm. The first semi-final bout will be contested between Pepey & Rodrigo Damm.
Damm has fought for many promotions such as Strikeforce, Sengoku, bodogFIGHT. He has also faced Strikeforce top contender Jorge Masvidal & now Champion Gilbert Melendez. Everyone in the house is aware of Damm's credentials. Damm is predominantly a grappler and Wanderlei knows Pepey's jiu-jitsu is his strength and it could very well be neutralized by Damm's grappling skills, so he's predicting a tough match-up.
We move back to the house and Damm is in lots of pain due to a back problem or injury he may have sustained during the competition, however he does not want to receive treatment as he thinks this will result in his elimination from the competition. His team mates talk him into receiving treatment for the injury and Pepey also states he would like Damm to receive treatment as he does not want a free pass to the finals of the competition.
The next morning back at the house we find out that Damm has suffered kidney damage due to dehydration and must be eliminated from the competition. This means a replacement will be brought in for him and someone will be getting a second crack at the competition, "Vina" Borges Pancini is the man who will be returning and he thanks Dana & the UFC for giving him the opportunity again.
(The fight is scheduled for three rounds)
As the round begins it is Pepey who drives Vina to the cage and lands the takedown Vina however has guard and opens up his guard and sweeps Pepey gaining top position, Pepey is staying very active from the bottom attempting a Kimura and then moving to an armbar however both attempts are unsuccessful. Pepey continues to stay active however Vina begins to have some success from the top landing some powerful shots, Pepey finally manages to lock up a Kimura he can't finish with it however he uses it to sweep his opponent and gain top position. Both fighters scramble and the fight returns to the feet, Pepey leaps in on an attempt for a leg-lock however Vina avoids the wild submission attempt and nearly takes the back of Pepey who escapes with Vina now on the top position Pepey attempts another Kimura before the end of the round.
Pepey again immediately goes for the takedown and is successful Vina has full guard and Pepey reigns down with some shots while attempting to pass the guard. Pepey then attempts to take the back however Vina manages to avoid the transition and gains the top position, although on the bottom Pepey is being very active and outworking Vina. Pepey locks up the kimura again and uses it to sweep and cant finish however switches to the armbar and manages to finish Vina.
Winner Pepey via Armbar (Round 2)
It's an emotional moment for Pepey who celebrates with his new team and coach, and is the first man to score a spot in the finals of the competition. On the other side of things Vina now has his arm in a sling and Belfort tries to comfort him.
Next week in the competition its the coaches challenge as well as the first semi-final bout in the Middleweight competition with Sergio "Seginho" Moraes vs. Daniel Sarafian.Tags: featured, mma, MMA NEWS, TUF, tuf brazil, ufc, ufc news, Vitor Belfort, Wanderlei Silva

JERUSALEM (Jun. 14)
The announcement by the White House today that Vice President Walter Mondale will visit Israel from June 29-July 3 was seen by some observers here as an effort to influence the government to reply in a positive manner to U.S. questions on the future of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, now confronting the Cabinet.
The observers, who are not connected with the government, suggested that the atmosphere between Jerusalem and Washington would be severely strained if Israel offered a negative reply and that would cloud the Mondale visit. They reason that, with Mondale's visit imminent, the Cabinet will be influenced to formulate a positive reply. Government officials, however, were reluctant to endorse that view. They said the announcement of Mondale's visit at a time when the Cabinet faces a crisis over the formulation of a reply to the U.S. was coincidental.

As part of the Patrick-Murray Administration's Massachusetts Works program to promote job growth and long-term economic recovery, Governor Deval Patrick today announced that the reconstruction of the historic Longfellow Bridge is moving forward, a signature project funded by Governor Patrick's eight-year, $3 billion Accelerated Bridge Program to repair structurally deficient and obsolete bridges across the Commonwealth.
The estimated $260 million investment in rebuilding the Longfellow Bridge begins this year with a $20 million early action contract to include preparatory work, with the full reconstruction expected to begin in fall 2011. The Longfellow project is the largest of several investments totaling more than $300 million in rebuilding the bridges along the Charles River Basin, including the BU Bridge, Craigie Drawbridge, and the Western Avenue, River Street, and Anderson Memorial Bridges.
"There may be no greater symbol of the neglect our roads and bridges suffered under previous administrations than the Longfellow Bridge," said Governor Patrick. "I am proud to say that today we are ready to reverse the disrepair and will be restoring this beautiful structure to its former glory."
"The Longfellow Bridge is an urban jewel, and truly a landmark for the Charles River skyline," said Congressman Mike Capuano, who has obtained federal funding for the Longfellow Bridge reconstruction. "It is such an important transportation link for automobiles, pedestrians and the MBTA and reconstruction is overdue. I thank Governor Patrick for including the Longfellow Bridge in the state's important Accelerated Bridge Program and for making this project a priority."
"The Longfellow Bridge is truly recognized the world over, and its renewal will represent the very essence of Governor Patrick's Accelerated Bridge Program and his commitment to putting people to work fixing roads and bridges across the Commonwealth," said Transportation Secretary Jeff Mullan.
The initial work beginning this month on the Longfellow Bridge includes accessibility upgrades to sidewalks, which will provide pedestrian access for the first time since the 1950's, along with steel arch cleaning and priming, masonry cleaning and repairs, pump station upgrades, and temporary utility relocation. This work also provides important information about the bridge that will assist in completing the final rehabilitation project, expected to begin in fall 2011.
MassDOT has convened a task force of stakeholders to develop a consensus around the final design of the roadway that will best accommodates all users, including pedestrian and bicycle access.
"The DOT is working hard to listen to all users of this bridge. This work phase is a very good first step and I'm hopeful that we will get to a long term solution that accommodates cars, cyclists and pedestrians," said Representative William Brownsberger.
"The Longfellow Bridge is an iconic structure, desperately in need of rehabilitation. I eagerly await the early action phase of the contract that will make the Longfellow Bridge safer for pedestrians and cyclists, and I look forward to a fully restored 21st Century bridge which pedestrians, cyclists, T riders, and motorists will all be able to safely share and enjoy," said Representative Marty Walz.
"I am delighted that the Governor is moving forward with the Longfellow reconstruction -- it is so needed. I know that I can count on him and his administration to work with the communities around the bridge and with advocates to make this redesign as pedestrian and bike friendly as possible," said Representative Alice K. Wolf.
"This is wonderful news for both Boston and Cambridge, and I want to thank Governor Patrick for his tireless efforts in repairing the state's bridges that are an integral part of our infrastructure. The reconstruction of the Longfellow Bridge will not only preserve a historic landmark but also secures safe passageway for the thousands of commuters that use it each day as a vital part of our state's economic engine to get to and from work," said Mayor Thomas M. Menino.
Other key projects to be completed in the Charles River Basin as part of the Accelerated Bridge Program now under construction include the Craigie Drawbridge and BU Bridge. The Western Avenue, River Street, and Anderson Memorial bridges are under design with project completions scheduled for 2014. MassDOT is working closely with surrounding communities to ensure preservation of the historic character of all Basin bridges.
MassDOT is preparing all of these projects with a community process focused on enhanced pedestrian and bike connections, along with careful work sequencing to reduce traffic impacts.
Since the Governor's filing of legislation to create the Accelerated Bridge Program in May 2008, the number of structurally deficient bridges has dropped from 543 to 494, a decline of more than 9% for the universe of bridges eligible for the program.
These reductions are the result of funding allocated through the ABP, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and Statewide Road and Bridge Program, investments that are bringing an end to decades of neglect for the Commonwealth's bridges. Together, the Commonwealth's investment in roads and bridges has grown from $515 million in FY2007 to a projected $1.085 billion in FY2010.
This construction program will support more than 10,000 jobs on 385 separate projects across the Commonwealth.
As a result of the ABP alone, 13 bridge projects are already complete, with a total of 62 bridge projects scheduled for construction this construction season. Over the course of the program, at least 200 bridges will see active construction. In addition to markedly improving the condition of infrastructure across Massachusetts, these bridge projects are creating well-paying construction jobs today and the foundation for long-term economic growth.

Xvid.org: General Infoby cyberien
Xvid is a video codec for PC, whereas codec is an abbreviation for [co]der/[dec]oder, hence describes a program to encode and decode digital video. The purpose of encoding video data is to reduce redundancies – that means to make it smaller for faster transmission over computer networks or for more efficient storage on computer disks. Hence, Xvid can somewhat be seen as a ZIP for video. But unlike ZIP, Xvid is not lossless. That means that a video after compression and decompression with Xvid won't be identical to the original source. Typically however, a difference to the source is visually imperceptible. So Xvid removes information that is not important for human perception, which is somewhat similar to MP3 for audio. This enables very high compression rates that allow to effectively work with digital video on home computers at all. To give an example: uncompressed digital video is huge and requires about 100 GB per hour at PAL resolution. The same video would require just 500 MB per hour at very high quality when compressed with Xvid. That is a compression ratio of 200:1. Xvid is Free Software and released under the GNU GPL license. This means that the source code of the software is publically available and programmers are allowed to make modifications to the code. Also, redistribution of Xvid is permitted but only under the terms of the GPL license.

Video messages anywhere, anytime Eyejot has combined the best of what email and live video chat each have to offer and has created a platform that's remarkably easy to use and works with any web browser, on any platform. Email is effective because it's easy and you can create something that can be read anytime in the future. Video chatting is great because it's visual. You can impart emotion, tone and energy. But, very often the person you want to chat with isn't online at the same time. Maybe they're even in a different time zone. With Eyejot you truly get the best of both worlds. You can be sending video messages to your friends, family and business colleagues, literally, in seconds. The Eyejot difference is that there's no software to install! Watch Eyejot video examples.
