According to DailyPost, Shooting Stars of Ibadan lost one its players to stray bullet during the weekend in Bayelsa. The deceased defender, Izu Joseph, was part of the Oluyole Warriors which finished 14th at the just concluded 2015/2016 season of the Nigerian Professional Football League, NPFL.
Announcing the incident on in its official website, the club wrote, "A Shooting STAR is gone! Izu Joseph is gone! Flamboyant defender is gone! RIP, brother. What a life! May God strengthen his family #Tragedy."
It was alleged that the defender was hit by a bullet as officers of the Joint Task Force, JTF, engaged militants of the restive Niger Delta in a long-drawn face-off on Sunday, October 16.
Joseph joined the Ibadan outfit two seasons ago from Bayelsa United when the Ibadan club were still in the second-tier Nigeria National League, NNL.

I'm back for another edition of Racing Roundup. I took a break last week due to other commitments. This week we have racing by Gulfs, with F1 in the Persian Gulf in Bahrain and IndyCar along the Gulf of Mexico in Florida.
Formula One
The sandy Sakhir paid host to the third race of the Formula One season. Surprises at the top of the qualifying charts, as BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica finished first, much to the delight of pundits who couldn't wait to say there was a "Pole on pole". Kubica's pole was the first for a driver not racing for Ferrari, McLaren, or Renault since Jenson Button was P1 at Montreal in 2005. Victory wouldn't be in the cards for Kubica, as he was passed by Felipe Massa at the first turn and Kimi Raikkonen shortly after.
Once past Kubica, Massa was pretty much made in the shade for the majority of the race. The Brazilian only relinquished the lead for pit stop cycling. Even his teammate Kimi Raikkonen wasn't any trouble, as Massa finally scored points after a disastrous start in Australia and Malaysia result in no points. He has been under pressure for those performances, as being a Ferrari driver demands success.
Although he was no match for Massa, Kubica took his second straight podium with a third place finish. He was followed by his teammate Nick Heidfeld. The duo have pushed BMW Sauber into a surprise first place in the Constructors' Championship ahead of clear favorites Ferrari and McLaren (the only scenario I would have seen this was the latter two teams being disqualified by F1).
As for McLaren, the team had another solid performance for Heikki Kovalainen, finishing 5th. Lewis Hamilton has shown vulnerability so far this season, as a third place qualification collapsed with a horrid start, dropping out of the points positions on the first lap. Any hope of crawling back was dashed when Hamilton seemed to try and pass Fernando Alonso by driving over him, causing the young Brit to lose his front wing and drop back with the Super Aguris. He ultimately finished 13th, a lap down.

Formula One returns to action at the end of the month when they make their first European stop of the season in Spain.
If you haven't gotten the chance take a look at Alex Holowczak's article You're Only as Good as the Points System Allows. He definitely put a lot of working into thinking about other ways of running IndyCar, even if I'm not 100% behind it (I'd prefer the old CART to F1 – it spreads the points around a little better while still rewarding winners).
The IndyCars travelled 284 miles through Florida from Homestead to St. Petersburg to run at the closest thing we've got to Monaco (at least the "watch the race from a yacht" part). Expectations for transitioning Champ Car teams were still fairly low, due to their unfamiliarity with the Dallara chassis. Soon into practices and qualifying, it was clear that there would be newbies towards the front at St. Pete. Will Power started second, Justin Wilson third, and Oriol Servia (who raced here on its only appearance on the CART schedule) fifth. They may be foreign cars, but the fact is these guys have been racing lots of streets the last few years – 6 of the 14 Champ Car ran last year were on dedicated street circuits. Early on the contenders were polesitter Tony Kanaan, Penske's Ryan Briscoe, Power, and Wilson. After the first caution, Kanaan pitted to change strategy and left a strange top four in which the combined number of starts in last year's IndyCar season was one (it featured Wilson in front, Briscoe, Power, and Servia).
Mother Nature made the St. Pete race a crapshoot, as for the first time in the IndyCar Series they had to bring out the rain tires (it was the twelfth race on a road or street course for the Series). As any racing fan knows, the wet stuff changes everything. Many cars spun on the slick streets, thankfully though it did not knock any drivers out of contention, since many of the spins were on the wide final straightaway after Turns 13 and 14.
This race became a tactician's dream halfway through as the rain began to clear and the track dried. Timing when to change into slicks was vital. HVM's Ernesto Viso and Conquest's Enrique Bernoldi, and Panther's Vitor Meira beat everyone else to the punch, and moved up to the front. Viso and Bernoldi can attribute their top 5 finishes to an early change, while Meira looked to finish in the top 10 before being taken out late by Franck Perera.
Someone who snuck his way towards the front after changing early was Graham Rahal, who was spun early in the race by Will Power and fought his way back up. After Ryan Briscoe crashed on lap 56, the majority of the field pitted on the subsequent, except for Rahal and Ryan Hunter-Reay (who coincidentally, drives for Graham's father Bobby). Graham passed Ryan on the restart to take the lead on lap 64.
From the outset of the race, I knew thanks to the ESPN crew that this race had a serious chance of reaching the time limit (for once, something good ESPN did – the folks at IMS Radio Network failed to mention it until late in the race). There was now a chance Rahal might win this thing. The two big ifs: Could he make it on fuel, and could he hold of Helio Castroneves, the two-time defending event winner and now second place having also passed Ryan Hunter-Reay? Graham clearly responded yes to those questions, as he kept pulling away from Helio to the point where his crew told him to take it a little easier. The aforementioned tangle up between Perera, Meira and the late arriving Townsend Bell brought out a caution with about 8 laps to spare, giving Rahal the crucial gas mileage to ensure finishing the race. He again pulled away from Castroneves at the restart, and got his first victory in a top-rung open wheel series.
Graham Rahal's victory at St. Petersburg has a lot of historic overtones:
- He became the series' youngest winner at 19 years and 93 days old, passing the previous mark set by Marco Andretti two years ago.
- Since he did not race at Homestead last week, he also becomes the fourth driver in series history to win his first IndyCar start. The other three were Buzz Calkins in the inaugural race in 1996, Juan Pablo Montoya in 1999, and Scott Dixon in 2003.
- It also makes sure the first win by a transition team does not come from the "gimme" race at Long Beach, and is the first win in IndyCar for Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing, historically one of the strongest American open wheel teams.
- It is the first win for a team other than Andretti Green, Ganassi, and Penske since 2005 when Scott Sharp scored a victory at Kentucky for Delphi Fernandez Racing.
- It is a positive step for the league, not only to see success for transition teams, but to also see the cultivation of a young American driver (better yet, one without aspirations towards NASCAR!).

Congrats to Hideki Mutoh for climbed up to sixth place. I guess you're starting to earn that great ride now. Also on the Andretti Green front, how exactly did Danica Patrick finish tenth when she was near the bottom of the speed charts the entire weekend and spun out twice during the race (one of her own accord)? I guess good job to her for somehow getting tenth.
The next time we see the drivers in this roundup, they'll be off at the convoluted mess of the schedule on April 19 and 20. The Champ Car guys will be off to Long Beach to get easy points and send off Champ Car and its chassis, while the IndyCar stalwarts will be flying to Motegi, Japan to make Honda happy, and a happy engine provider when they are the only one at the moment!

Bobby Macias is from Thousand Oaks, the city once voted the safest in the United States. De'End Parker is from the Fillmore District of San Francisco. Most of his friends are dead.
Bobby Macias stands 5-foot-10, shoots left-handed and can't count the number of scholarship offers he received out of high school...because there weren't any. De'End Parker is a 6-6 righty who would find a new envelope in the mail every day.
When basketball practice started last fall, the two point guards would go at each other like Ali and Frazier, topping it off with verbal jabs that would move weaker men to tears. One day, it got so heated that Parker felt compelled to isolate Macias -- give him a personal message that he would not soon forget.
"Hey Bobby," said Parker, right hand extended. "you know it's all love, right?"
Of course it is. These two are way too alike for it not to be.
But this story isn't about about Parker and Macias. It's about the Cal State San Marcos basketball team and a roster culled from the sports world's swap meet. It's about a collection of misfits that became the top-ranked NAIA squad in the country despite not having a gym -- a third-year program ready to vie for a national title this week in Kansas City.
Cal State San Marcos, a third-year program, has been top-ranked NAIA basketball team in the country for the past seven weeks.
Redshirt seasons included, the Cougars' top eight scorers have played for a combined 26 schools.
Wednesday, CSUSM takes the floor as the No. 1 overall seed in the 32-team NAIA National Championship tournament in Kansas City.
But to understand the pinball-nature of these players' paths, to get an idea of the turbulence endured before their arrival in North County, it might be best to gaze through the eyes of Macias and Parker. So let's get to know them. And since Parker is the starter, we'll begin with De'End.
De'End Parker
First things first: Yes, De'End is his real name. Not much to it, really. He was the seventh child of a drug-addicted mother who, upon his birth, declared him the last of her offspring.
Parker hated his name growing up. It was a magnet for ridicule in a neighborhood where being noticed for anything could wind up getting you killed. But these days he embraces it. As a 23-year-old playing on his fourth college basketball team, he sees it as "a cool way to get into my story."
Parker, you see, shouldn't be here right now. Children born to junkies don't typically ascend to heights with any kind of a view. Parker heard stories about how his mother used to leave him under a truck during his toddler days while she would go into the house and "do what she needed to do for money."
Clearly drugs had hijacked her judgment, but to her credit, she scrounged up enough lucidity one day to make a choice that saved De'End -- she gave him away to her friend Carmen Johnson to raise as a son of her own.
Oh, Carmen Johnson. Hear her name while playing word-association and the first thing you'd shout is hallelujah. The church-going, God-fearing angel of a woman has raised 13 foster children, and that doesn't include the kids who would lodge at her home for a few weeks between families.
Johnson provided Parker with stability and structure. She enrolled him in schools as far away from the gang culture as possible in hopes of getting him to adulthood alive.
It wasn't a foolproof plan, of course. A gang-banger once shot at Parker moments after he stepped off the bus on the way home from school. None of the bullets hit, but if you're wondering what the shooter's motivation was, you're not alone.
"There was no reason for him to be after me," Parker said. "But you have to understand -- you don't have to be in it. It's all around you. If you're just seen talking to somebody someone else doesn't like, you can become a target."
That's why Parker fantasized incessantly about escaping his neighborhood. That's why he'd spend all of his free time at the Hamilton Recreation Center, perfecting that jumper so as to give himself a shot.
That's why he was so devastated when substandard SAT scores precluded him from accepting a full ride to Baylor after high school, and why he was so elated when UCLA called two years later.
Yep, after playing two seasons at City College of San Francisco, Parker was off to Westwood, where he cracked coach Ben Howland's starting lineup, stood a few semesters from a degree, and thought to himself "I'm going to be able to feed my family."
Then came a call from home in the winter. Carmen had to be rushed to the hospital. Already suffering from colon cancer and diabetes, she passed out at home with no adults to care for her.
De'End left UCLA in January to move back in with the woman he'd long called mom. Carmen was the most loving figure Parker had ever had and there was no way he was going to risk losing her.
He wasn't done with hoops, though. He transferred to the University of San Francisco, snagged a starting spot for the up-and-coming Dons, but later clashed with head coach Rex Walters.
The way Parker tells it, Walters felt De'End stood him up in practice when he objected to a drill that he thought would exacerbate a hand injury. As a result, Parker's playing time shriveled and he left the team after the season.
You could argue that this was childish, perhaps even selfish for Parker to let pride steer him away from a free private education. Or, if you're like the cancer-surviving Carmen, you would insist that there was a larger plan in play, that a higher power was nudging Parker toward a school he'd never heard of -- a place where he could finish his degree and make history with teammates every bit as nomadic as him.
Zack, Adam, Jim...
Zack Zaragoza is an Orange County native who earned a full scholarship to Northern Arizona. He left after unknowingly losing 30 pounds. Like a good chunk of his teammates, he couldn't finish a conditioning drill that required players to run four separate distances (800 meters, 600, 400, 200) in a certain amount of time.
Those who failed to meet the standards had to try again every day until they did. Zaragoza never made it. And while he knew fatigue and frustration were stunting his appetite, it took his mother's horrified reaction to his frame to realize just how emaciated he was.
So Zack departed from Flagstaff, spent a year at Cypress College, transferred to victory-challenged Biola, then wound up at Cal State San Marcos.
Beforehand, he'd never heard of the school.
Adam Eakles stands 6-foot-8 and played guard coming out of Woodland High. At least he thought he did. In his first practice at Seattle University, he flubbed the same drill twice in a row, prompting Redhawks coach Cameron Dollar to banish him from the guards and put with the bigs. Admittedly overwhelmed, Eakles left the Pacific Northwest after his redshirt season, logged a year at Fullerton College, transferred to the University of Pacific, then came to San Marcos.
Beforehand, he'd never heard of the school.
Jason Johnson went from Antelope Valley College to Utah Valley College to CSUSM. Tyree Murray went from Los Medanos College to Texas A&M International to CSUSM.
Bryan Emanuel struggled with class. Quincy Lawson struggled with injuries. Everyone struggled with something.
Tally 'em all up, and this Cal State San Marcos team may have more frequent flyer miles than any team in the United States -- which makes head coach Jim Saia the perfect man to fly the plane.
Perhaps you knew Saia from his UCLA days (1996-2003), when The Sporting news once ranked him as the top assistant coach in the country. Or maybe you recall his three-month stint as USC's interim head coach (2004-2005), where he caused a stir by benching the seniors due to their lack of dedication, then received a standing ovation at the team banquet despite the Trojans' last-place finish.
Whether it was implementing an offense that led the Pac-10 in scoring efficiency, or recruiting the top class in the nation, Saia made dents that seemed guaranteed to land him a full-time head coaching job at a Division I school. It just never happened. In fact, his next gig after USC was as an assistant coach at a community college in Glendora.
But coaches coach no matter what the circumstances. And by 2007, Saia had nabbed a head coaching job at Fresno Pacific, an NAIA team that he guided to a conference championshp. And when the opportunity to start his own program arose at Cal State San Marcos three years later, Saia couldn't turn it down.
So now, when not recruiting, he's washing his players' uniforms. Now, when not devising practice plans, he's driving the team van or picking up flower buckets for senior night.
The Cougars practice at a local recreation center called Corky Smith Gym, where they share space with pickleballers and the occasional 8-year-old. They play their home games at MiraCosta college in Oceanside, sometimes drawing crowds that could fit inside a school bus.
The thing is, Saia doesn't mind. He doesn't mind the menial tasks, either. He'll tell you with conviction that "I'm not better than anyone and I'm not above any job."
But there are times when Saia chucks his humility and flashes his fancy resume. He knows that he can sell himself on his Division I experience and the NBA players he groomed, so he's still able to attract top-notch talent. And last summer, that talent converged for the first time in what has been described as an epic open-gym pick-up game -- a game where Parker was dunking, where Zaragoza was stroking, and where Jason Johnson thought to himself "this looks like a D-I practice."
The only quirky thing was that, by the time that open gym ended, it wasn't Parker, Zaragoza or Johnson that had everyone talking.
"It was Bobby," said Saia. "I was like 'Bobby? Really? What about De'End? What about Josh?' Nope, it was Bobby. But now I see why."
Bobby Macias
There's a pizza joint in Thousand Oaks called Toppers that fills up virtually every night.
Children love being there because they can stuff their faces with pie. Parents love being there because their kids light up with glee.
A 23-year-old who's spinning dough for minimum wage? He doesn't love being there. It reminds him of the hoop dreams he let slip away.
Bobby Macias didn't get any attention from four-year schools coming out of Thousand Oaks High. They didn't care that we was named MVP of the Marmonte League or on the same All-CIF list as James Harden, they just saw a 5-10 white guy with a one-story upside.
So Macias went to Foothill College in Los Altos instead, and in typical Bobby form, earned All-State honors after averaging 17 points per game.
It was clear to anybody watching that Macias was having a blast on the court. What fewer people were aware of was how much fun he was having off it.
Living away from home for the first time, Macias would sometimes give into a certain temptation now legal in Colorado and Washington. But it didn't affect his game, and after wrapping up his second year of junior college, Macias transferred to Biola so that his family could watch him play.
It seemed like a perfect fit for the Christian kid whose dad was a Biola alum himself. However, a couple months before the season began, the girlfriend of Macias' roommate decided it would be pretty funny to call campus police and tell them that her boyfriend had marijuana on him. She knew that he didn't, but she didn't realize that Bobby did. The police found it less than an hour later, and once word got back to Biola's administration, the school suspended him for a year.
"I felt like a horrible person. I felt like I had let everybody down and it was nobody's fault but my own," said Macias, adding that he wasn't happy with his life even prior to being caught. "It's very emotional to move somewhere because of your family and then have your family be upset with you."
By his own admission, a lot of the anger he thought his family felt toward him was in his head. His parents actually showed him unabashed support. Still, while he was given the opportunity to return to Biola once the suspension was up, he felt that the backdrop would conjure too many bad memories, so he declined, moved back home, and got a job spinning pizzas.
It was the best decision he's ever made.
Not long afterward, he met Megan Meyer, his girlfriend of two years who "liked me when I was at my absolute worst." And one night, he and Megan went to a Clippers game, where Macias was randomly chosen to participate in the Chumash Shootout.
The goal is to cash in by making as many of the15 3-point attempts as possible, and Macias, who never thought he'd shoot in front of a large crowd again, set a Shootout record by winning $7,000 out of a possible $9,000.
Life was on the upswing for Bobby, and it would only get better from there. A couple of months later, CSUSM assistant coach B.J. Foster contacted him to try and get him to play for San Marcos. Macias was ecstatic and accepted.
Two and a half years earlier, he was sure that he was done with hoops, now all of a sudden he was four games into the season and averaging 10 points as the first player off the bench.
Then came an anonymous tip in November.
Bobby Macias made $7,000 using his basketball skills at a Clippers game. His amateur status is therefore forfeited.
Macias was crushed. He had no idea he had done anything wrong. He answered the compliance questionnaire as truthfully as possible before committing to the school, but there were no questions about winning money in a contest.
Just a couple of weeks earlier, the NAIA had ruled on a similar matter, concluding that Southwestern College player Cameron Rodriguez could keep the $20,000 he won via a half-court shot at a Thunder game so long as he put it toward tuition.
The difference? Rodriguez disclosed his situation right after it happened. Macias didn't -- mainly because he didn't have a team or plans to ever play again.
"To have gone through everything I went through -- to have that feeling of letting everyone down again, it was horrible," said Macias, who offered to give every penny of the money back if it meant he could play. "All those feelings from Biola, the pain that I felt for two and half years, that was all coming back."
Fortunately, it was only temporary.
CSUSM sat Macias for eight games as a precaution while the NAIA sorted through the case. Ultimately, the ruling was that he could play as long as he put the money toward his education, which he is doing.
So now the Cougars have Bobby. Now the Cougars have De'End. Now the Cougars have a group of individuals who, on Wednesday in Kansas City, will take the court as the No. 1 overall seed in the 32-team NAIA National Championship tournament.
"Who would have thought that Cal State San Marcos would be this good, that it could become a national story?" Parker asked last month.
Rhetorical question. The players knew it. Every last one of them.
The final mission
Two and a half weeks ago, in its last regular-season game, CSUSM trailed Vanguard by 19 points early in the first half. Johnson air-balled a lay-up. Macias launched a wide-open 3 that hit the side of the backboard. The Benny Hill theme song was dying to be played.
There was one of two ways the Cougars could have responded to the situation, but based on the way the season had gone to that point, it was clear which one it would be.
A collection of superior talent doesn't always work. Just look at some of those Team USA basketball teams from last decade. And given how most of the elite players from this year's Cougar squad were Division I bounce-backs, it wouldn't have been a surprise if everybody just looked to get theirs.
Guys like Parker and Johnson confessed that they thought they were going to destroy their teammates in that first open gym, but they loved the fact that they didn't. They didn't look around and see threats to their playing time, they saw pieces that could propel them to greatness -- journeymen who knew this was their last chance at a signature achievement.
"The one thing we all have in common is our road to getting here," said Johnson. "From the very beginning, we loved each other's games, and to this day, we all love each other."
So yeah -- the Cougars beat Vanguard 82-80 via Johnson's game-winning lay-up. They have won 21 straight games and are 30-1 on the season. They've been No. 1 in the country for the past eight weeks, and to use a golf analogy, they've maintained their status by using every club in the bag.
Four players average double-digit scoring (Parker 17.3 ppg, Malcolm Lemmons 15.8, Johnson 13.9, Macias 11.9). Ten average double-digit minutes. The only finger-pointing you'll see comes when a teammate makes a great play, but that could change next week. After all, if they win the national title, they'll likely indicate that they're No. 1.
"When I look back at everything that happened, I'm almost glad it did, because it got me here," said Macias. "This is the most fun I've ever had."
Parker feels the same way. The only downside is that he hasn't been able to play in front of his family this season. But if the Cougars make it to the final four of the tourney, Parker's uncle Howard said that he and all the relatives -- Carmen included -- will make it to KC "somehow, someway."
Somehow, someway. Sounds like the perfect motto for this team. Its players spent their whole college careers looking for an answer and finally found it.
It was each other.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

"Aw, come on, Lee! It's fine! Nothing bad happens there. And it's no fair! All my friends get to hang out there. Why can't I?" Rony asked.
"Because it's dangerous," Lee said. "And your other friends have people taking care of them that might as well hand them off to some crazy kidnapper."
"There's a ton of people there! It's almost impossible to get kidnapped!"
"It's not going to happen, Lee. You need to stop worrying," Rony told his brother.
"Look, Mom and Dad told me to take care of you. And I'm not going to risk losing you just so you can hang out with your friends."
"Ugh...fine! Fine, I won't hang out at Central City Station anymore. Gosh, happy?" Rony asked.
"I am," Lee said. He turned and walked into his room.
"...I'm going shopping," Rony said.
"For what?" Lee asked from the other room.
"Groceries," Rony said.
"Money's on the counter," Lee said. "And like I said, stay-"
"Yeah, yeah, Lee. Stay away from the Station. I heard you the first billion times." Rony grabbed the money and left the house. He walked down the street to Hakoda's Market. Before going in, he took looked back at his house. He turned around and headed for Central City Station.
Lee flopped down on his bed. He turned on the radio. It blasted the words, "It appears the man dubbed as the Avatar of Shadow has striked again! Last night, parents of 13 year old Arrie Jeo reported to the police that their daughter was missing. Further searching found no sign of Arrie, but a shadow shaped like her. Cheif Lin Beifong broke the news to the parents." "Oh geez," Lee said aloud as he turned off the radio. "This city is full of crazy people."
Meanwhile, Rony arrived at the Station. There, he found his friends Akira, Haru, Elin, and Ju Tin. He walked up to them and said, "Hey."
"Rony!" Ju Tin said. "Glad you could make it. You convinced your brother to let you hang out here?"
"No," Rony said with disgust. "I told him I was going shopping."
"Oh," said Ju Tin.
"Hey, where's Arrie?" Rony asked. All four of his friends looked at him with confused faces.
Ju Tin whispered to Akira, "I don't think he heard." Akira shook her head. "Rony," Akira said.
Haru stepped forward and said, "She's been kidnapped."
"What?! Who?! When?! How?!"
"She disappeared last night," Elin said. "They found no body, but underground, her shadow."
"It's that Avatar of Shadow guy," Haru said. "Ever since Avatar Aang passed, he's been kidnapping people, murdering people, and then using this crazy curse that turns people into shadows!"
"That's terrible!" Rony said.
"Yeah," said Ju Tin. "But there's nothing we can do."
"There has to be," Rony said. Then, he felt a large hand on his shoulder. He quickly turned and saw Flameo Fighting Ryuu of the Agni Kai Triad. "Gah! Ryuu, what do you want?"
"You know this guy?" Akira asked.
"'Course he knows me," Ryuu said. "I'm his ex-boss."
"You used to work for the Agni Kais?!" Elin asked in shock.
"I, er..."
"Listen, Rony. Some of the other guys have been looking for your brother. Where could they find him?"
Rony hesitantly looked at Ryuu and at his friends. They were all sweating and had nervous expressions on their faces.
"I..I can't tell you. Lee told me not to talk to any-"
"Excuse me?" Ryuu asked. "Did you just say no to me?"
"I didn't actually, I just said-"
"Enough!" Ryuu screamed. "Tell me where he is, or else..."
"Or else what?" Rony asked Ryuu. Ryuu's eyes burned with anger. He took a step back and a light appeared behind his back. Fire. Rony took three steps back. Ryuu ran forward and threw some flames at Rony. He ducked and watched as they disappeared behind him. Ryuu attacked more. Rony dodged every one. Finally, Ryuu got up close enough and grabbed Rony's collar. Rony broke free, but fell onto the hard, cement ground. Ryuu created a fireball and pointed it at Rony. He was surely going to die. So, Rony closed his eyes and thrust his right arm forward and up.
And than he heard screaming.
He opened his eyes to see Ryuu falling from the sky 20 feet away. And then he saw the slab of rock sticking out of the ground.
"What just happened?" Rony asked. His friends' eyes were all widened and their jaws practically hit the ground.
"Rony," Haru said.
Ju Tin smiled and ran towards Rony, then said, "You're an earthbender!"

Transnational Companies And A Changing Structure Of International Trade
Transnational companies had become the most important players in global business having significant impact on international trade. In the paper we will show the main changes and rising importance of TNCs` foreign affiliates in world trade, referred to as the process of the transnationalization. Even if the history of TNCs is a century and a half long, their importance is particularly significant in the last few decades. One of the important tendencies is rising intra-company trade, the trade between parent companies and their foreign affiliates, but also the process of phasing out the production and moving of some of the production phases abroad even outside the TNC, known as off shoring. Even if the TNCs are important sources of private capital true foreign direct investments we have to notice rising importance of the state-owned TNCs, mostly from developing and transnational economies. TNCs are very important global actors but are particularly important for some national economies where their affiliates have significant influence on national turnover. In the final segment of the paper we will analyse using quantitative methods the interdependence of share of TNC in national economy and imports content of exports. For this purpose statistical methods of Correlation and Linear Regression were used. Our analysis is based on the data for 9 OECD countries and we can expect a high level of positive association between these two variables, especially in the economies where the activity of TNCs is strong.

Boehner silent on GOP fund-raising citing Benghazi
Credit: The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner is sidestepping questions about a GOP political committee that's using an investigation of the Benghazi attack to raise money.
The House is expected to vote Thursday to create a panel to investigate the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Libya.
Reporters asked Boehner three times Thursday about the appropriateness of a fundraising pitch that talks about the investigation. But each time, Boehner said the probe will focus on finding the truth about the attack for the U.S. and the families of the four Americans who died.

Monterey Courthouse, 1200 Aguajito Rd, Monterey, CA 93940; (831) 647-5800
History - Monterey County Courthouse Completed 1878
The military and social capital of Alta California during Spanish and Mexican rule, the town of Monterey naturally became the county seat when the 27 original counties were formed in, 1850. But when it was learned that the railroad was to go through the valley and not along the coast, the government center was moved to Salinas. After the house used as a courthouse burned, this much larger brick Victorian building was commissioned. The courthouse remained in use while the current one was being constructed around it, and then was demolished. Today a courtyard, lily pond, and commemorative sculpture occupy the site.
Marina Courthouse, 3180 Del Monte Blvd, Marina, CA 93933; (831) 883-5300

Description of collection:
The ledger books1 titled Great Register of Voters are the original handwritten manuscripts kept by the County Clerk's (Registrar of Voters) office of the County of Monterey beginning in 1866.2 The entries are made in alphabetical sections (with alpha sub-sections) and show chronological appearance of voters as they were sworn and registered to vote. The entries include place of nativity (birthplace); age of voter; place of residence (post office or precinct); date and place of naturalization, if applicable; whether citizen by virtue of Treaty of Hildago or citizen by virtue of father's naturalization (and in later years a woman's citizenship status by marriage); occupation; date of appearance to be sworn; and date of registration. Later registration data includes a physical description of the voter and party affiliation. The Registrar of Voters also appended notes to the entries to indicate reasons for cancellation whether due to removal to another county or state, transfer to another county due to change of boundary lines (i.e. to San Benito County in 1874), death, incarceration or "Section 1106" (failure to vote). These notations usually contained dates if known. Copies of the list of voters not thus cancelled, were made every two years and sometimes more frequently if a special election occurred (polling lists). These copies of uncancelled voters were sent to the state and other repositories on a routine basis. Microfilm of these typeset lists is available at the California State Library in Sacramento, California, and other repositories.3
These original handwritten Great Register ledger books have not been microfilmed or transcribed. There was a partial transcription done of the 1890 Great Register as part of a census substitute project4 but the transcription does not include cancellation information.
Note: The Great Register books contain information for years other than marked on the book spines. For example, the 1866-1870 Great Register contains several entries made after 1870 when cancellations were noted and the 1890 Great Register shows voter registration dates which occurred years earlier.
- Voter affidavits are registration forms signed by the voters and contain birth date, birth place, residence address, occupation, party affiliation and sometimes cancellation information.

Just went into Software to see which systems have Quicktime installed. Only 7 installs reported and one was a double. My workstation was not listed as were, well, most of the systems that I know it's on.
There's no excuse for it not picking up Quicktime on a regular 32 bit system, but does the "Program Files (x86)" folder throw Spiceworks off on 64 bit systems?
[Actually, that's kind of a rhetorical question, because it does but why and can it be fixed?]
This topic was created during version 2.1.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Still not seeing software in the 64 bit systems unless it's in the Program Files path, versus the (x86) path. Can this be fixed?

WEDDINGS; Vezna Gottwald and Jim Tozzi
By DAN SHAW
Published: September 25, 1994
THE bride wore red. And so did the bridegroom.
No one who knows Vezna Gottwald and Jim Tozzi expected them to have a conventional wedding. Graduates of the Rhode Island School of Design, where they met, Ms. Gottwald, 23, and Mr. Tozzi, 26, are film makers who have made videos for bands like Mercury Rev and Queen Sarah Saturday. Their first significant collaboration was Ms. Tozzi's senior-year film, "Lush Puppy," an erotic variation on "Alice in Wonderland." "We set it to three songs by the British group My Bloody Valentine," Ms. Gottwald said. "We got written up in the school paper for making the cheapest film ever made at the school."
Their wedding reception was just as economical: a potluck supper at her mother's loft on West 30th Street. "We got engaged two years ago, and though we wanted to get married, we didn't have enough money to do something amazing," Ms. Gottwald said. "We realized that waiting was stupid. My mother's parties are always potluck, and they're still good parties."
The outfits they wore for their marriage ceremony at the United Nations Chapel on Sept. 16 amazed many guests. Mr. Tozzi wore a crimson crushed-velvet suit. "It was handmade in Brooklyn, and I can wear it again," he said. Ms. Gottwald could certainly wear her Valentine-red gown again, to a Christmas ball, say, or the MTV Video Music Awards.
"They look like they belong in an Urge Overkill video," said Shira Berk, a friend who works at Beggars Banquet Records.
Their attire was not chosen merely for shock value. "Red is the color of love, passion and fire," the Rev. Vernon C. Nichols, the Unitarian Universalist minister who married them, said in the ceremony. "It is the color of the source of life, of our sun. They wear red to represent innocence, trust and truth."
As they emerged from the chapel, the guests, who were dressed in everything from blue jeans and baseball caps to long dresses and sequins, showered them with red rose petals and white confetti. Many friends and relatives were carrying shopping bags filled with covered casseroles as well as gifts. "I haven't bought my potluck yet," said Ms. Berk, who was standing on the sidewalk empty-handed. "I was instructed to bring cheese."
Gavin Wilson, another friend, wasn't carrying edibles either. "I'm doing potluck camera," said Mr. Wilson, the editor of Blur magazine, a quarterly devoted to alternative culture. "Vezna asked me to take pictures." He also had their gift. "It's a piece of art, the most recent issue of Blur and the new Beastie Boys CD that Jim told me he wanted but didn't want to pay for," Mr. Wilson added.
Nancy Rica Schiff, a photographer who has a loft in the building where the bride's mother lives, said, "I was supposed to make pasta, but they said they'd prefer photographs." Still, there was more than enough food for the 100 guests who crowded into Laura Gottwald's loft, where waiters served the wines that the newlyweds supplied. "My mom's friend has a butler service so they're helping out," the bride said.
Even the three-tier heart-shaped cake, which was decorated with fresh and edible flowers, was a gift. "It's my first wedding cake," said Elizabeth Freund, a friend of the bride who does publicity for rock bands. "My sister's a baker, so she helped out."
During the party, many of the older guests kept thrusting envelopes (presumably containing checks or cash) at the bridegroom, who didn't know what to do with them. "The only problem with this suit," he said, smiling, "is that there are no inside pockets."

Moody hopes to get back on trackPatrick Bartley
Published: May 17 2013 - 3:00AM
Trainer Peter Moody, who returned to hospital this week following a recurrence of blood poisoning, is hoping to be released in time to see some of his vast team run this weekend.
Those close to one of Australia's most powerful trainers maintain that the man who prepared the unbeaten Black Caviar is confident of overcoming his latest episode of cellulitis and return to his Caulfield base by Saturday morning.
In March, just prior to the retirement of the world's best sprinter, Moody was again admitted to hospital with the blood condition - the same problem he had in 2012.
Moody has runners across Australia on Saturday - at Flemington, Doomben, in Queensland, Scone (NSW) and Morphettville (South Australia). He also has a runner in the Scone Cup on Friday.
■ Zabeelionaire is racing for a stud deal in Saturday's group 1 Doomben Cup, in which several of the leading hopes could be ruled out because of a likely wet track.
Last year's South Australian Derby winner goes into the 2000-metre test at weight-for-age third-up and trainer Leon Corstens would love to add another win at the top level to his resume.
"If he can knock off another group 1 it would be great and is the reason we came up here," Corstens said. "We have a couple of places looking at him [as a stallion] and a win in a race like this would make him, and he would probably go to stud this year."
The damper for Corstens is the prospect of a wet track after a couple of fitness runs in Melbourne.
"He has really pleased me since being up here. The [wet] track might be a worry, but he ploughed through it OK when we worked him on a heavy track at Doomben on Tuesday, but it is different under race conditions."
The track will play a huge role in betting on the Cup, in which Lights Of Heaven ($3.70), Foreteller ($3.80) and Lamasery ($8.50) are the only runners under double figures.
''If it is really wet, two of the top three hopes are almost out of play," said Glenn Munsie of TABSportsbet. "Lamasery was scratched from the Doncaster because of a heavy track and Foreteller is nowhere near as good the wetter it gets.
''Lights Of Heaven can handle it but … I'm worried that most of the form for the race is coming out of the Hollindale [Stakes] at the Gold Coast where they finished in a bunch. The three-year-old Hippopus won the St Leger in Melbourne last time but the things he beat would be a 100-1 in this race, so I can't have him at all."
Munsie pointed to Zabeelionaire and Beaten Up as the value. "Zabeelionaire is coming off reasonable form in the spring and provided he handles the conditions he can run a great race.''

After we receive your trade-in you will get an email with a link you can use for the purchase. It's good for 7 days.
Water damage is a common problem with cell phones that can cause a significant drop in value, and can often void any warranties you may have. Most mobile phones, including the iPhone, have some sort of water damage indicator.
The 3G, 3GS, 4, and 4S have indicators both in the headphone jack, and on the bottom of the dock-connector housing. The new iPhone 5 features one water damage indicator on the inside of the nano SIM card slot. This is located on the right side of the device.
The best way to look at the indicator is by aiming a flashlight or lighted magnifying glass into the jack. If the iPhone has been submerged in liquid, or has liquid damage, this circular indicator would be triggered and colored red or pink. If the indicator has been triggered, the repair is most likely not covered by the warranty.

For years, Savannah Mayor Floyd Adams Jr. has criticized the county-run Chatham-Savannah Narcotics Team for not doing enough to get street-level drug dealers off the streets, particularly in the inner city.
Mr. Adams' frustrations are understandable. He is speaking for many law-abiding constituents who live in neighborhoods where the drug crowd operates, and people whose homes and lives could be in jeopardy.
Unfortunately, the mayor's proposed response of the past -- withdrawing the city's support of the CNT and making the Savannah Police Department the primary drug enforcer in the city -- is a short-sighted and ultimately ineffective approach.
Simply locking up street dealers isn't the answer. For every 19- or 20-year-old pusher who gets busted, two or three others are ready to take his place. You don't kill a snake by chopping off a little piece of its tail. You go for the head.
How to best use limited public resources to battle drug-related crime will always be debated. Measuring the effectiveness of various approaches is difficult as well. But fortunately, it appears Savannah and Chatham County police officials have resolved -- at least for now -- the ongoing political dispute about drug enforcement within the city.
Essentially, the city and CNT are teaming up.
Last week, during a press conference to announce the results of a major drug bust, CNT Commander Steve Smith and Savannah Police Maj. Willie Lovett outlined new marching orders for the two units.
Capt. Smith said his unit, which draws manpower from several local police departments and is funded by Chatham County, will focus most of its energies on nabbing mid- to upper-level drug suppliers and distributors. Maj. Lovett said a special team of Savannah police officers, funded by the city, will zero in on dealers who are at the bottom of the pecking order, but who tend to be the most visible -- those who sell crack, marijuana and other illegal drugs on street corners.
The proposal, which hits both the wholesale and retail levels of the drug trade, makes considerable sense.
City police officers who routinely patrol the streets in their precincts should be familiar with what is going on. They might not be able to catch dealers in the act of committing a crime. However, simply by their presence, they can disrupt the marketplace and make routine transactions between buyers and sellers difficult.
But that's not all. If an officer has to take a suspected dealer to police headquarters for questioning for a few hours, or has to see if he's carrying an illegal firearm or is wanted for parole or probation violations, then drug traffickers will be on notice that Savannah police mean business.
The CNT, meanwhile, would be free to concentrate on those behind the scenes who supply the street dealers. Hitting the supply lines is critical if authorities want to make an impact. But such investigations are typically time consuming and expensive.
A case in point in last week's drug bust -- one of Savannah's largest in recent years.
Federal agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration, CNT agents and city police officers spent more than three months on an investigation that culminated in the arrests of 35 people who were suspected of selling crack, Ecstasy, LSD and cocaine. They also seized about $200,000 worth of drugs.
Bennie Maestas, resident agent in charge of Savannah's DEA office, said the city's drug-related murders, shootings, home invasions and robberies prompted the investigation -- proof that drug use is not a victimless crime.
The biggest question facing the CNT and Savannah police is how the two agencies will work together. Drug investigations typically succeed, or fail, based on information and trust. Also, care must be taken so that any cases worked by the two agencies are complementary, not at cross purposes.
Neighborhood activists such as Kenneth Dunham, president of the West Savannah Community Organization, probably don't care about the politics. They want results. You can't blame them.
This latest partnership between police agencies, along with the county's newly organized drug court that is aimed at the demand side of the drug equation, should help.

New Pokemon Released For Pokemon Go
December 30, 2016 | Posted by
Niantic has released some new Pokemon into the wild for Pokemon Go. The company released the following video, announcing that Togepi and Pichu are among the Pokemon hatching from eggs as of today. The new catchable creatures originally appeared in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver in the Johto region.
More Pokemon are set to be released in next few weeks.


text: Shares of the drug store operator are up roughly 10% in the past year, and Credit Suisse wasn't feeling too confident ahead of the print. The firm, which has a neutral rating and $38 price target on the stock, says earnings risk "looks high" for quarter and it's expecting a below-consensus profit of 51 to 53 cents a share. "We believe Walgreens remains one of the most controversial and mistrusted names within consumer," Credit Suisse said. "Q4 sets up to be another marquee event, given recent operational headwinds, the many moving parts to this story, and the possibility for more detailed guidance. We see risk to the Q4 consensus estimate, both from technical and operational issues, but the 2013 outlook seems to be setting up more favorably. While there is risk in the near-term and numerous long-term structural challenges, we openly admit the stock seems to set up positively over the next few quarters given negative investor sentiment and improving momentum." Despite an anticipated "strong" contribution from demand for generics, Credit Suisse expects fourth-quarter sales to be challenging and said it thinks Walgreen is also shouldering some costs from launching its loyalty program and preparing for the return of Express Scripts ( ESRX) customers. About fiscal 2013 though, the firm was feeling more optimistic. "We project 2013 EPS at $3.05 (from $3.00), roughly in line with consensus of $3.06," Credit Suisse said. "Earnings momentum should shift positively at Walgreens in 2013, as some ESRX customers return, the company cycles easy flu and front-end comparisons, the generic wave accelerates, and synergies/accretion from AB kick-in. While there are headwinds, such as a MHS pricing reset, loyalty card/ESRX related costs, and an overall challenging competitive/consumer environment, we still see solid growth in earnings." A slight majority of the sell side is still in wait-and-see mode on Walgreen with 16 of the 26 analysts covering the stock at hold (13), underperform (2) and sell (1). The median 12-month price target on the shares is $39 vs. Thursday's closing price of $36.60. Check out TheStreet's quote page for Walgreen for year-to-date share performance, analyst ratings, earnings estimates and much more.

On the Thursday before Labor Day, I arrived at a downtown McDonald's at 6 a.m. for the "You can't survive on $7.35" walkout. It was not your father's peace demonstration.
There were 150 protesters, a hundred of them young (their average age is 29) and mostly black fast-food workers. They took the day off or walked off the job to call out:
"Hold the burgers, hold the fries. Make our paychecks supersized."
"We want change and we don't mean pennies."
"No music. $15 and a union."
We refreshed our website! Drop us a line at email@example.com to tell us what you think. We value your feedback.
This is a crowd that grew up on rap, and their chants have rhythm, bounce and counterpoint. For a while, I stood on the sidewalk next to a tall young man who called wha-hoos and whoop-yas over the chants like a descant. He was terrific. When a woman arrived to go to work, people called out to her to join us.
Then we, all of us, went into the McDonald's, a small shop, built with tax-increment financing! The chants now were:
"$7.35 just ain't fair. Started from the bottom. We're here."
"Come on out. We got your back."
The floors reverberated with the chant. The energy was amazing. Most fun I've ever had on a picket line. We left when the police arrived.
A friend in Kansas City, Mo., missed those demos but walked into a fast-food joint to say she won't buy there until wages are just. Anybody can do that any time.
The next day, clergy walked workers back to their jobs, prepared to insist that there be no retaliation. And there wasn't. Nobody got fired. That's standing with the poor.

Skip to comments.Navy cook Richard Thill gets diploma from Humboldt Senior High almost 70 years later
Posted on 03/19/2009 6:10:04 AM PDT by WOBBLY BOB
Richard Thill's high school education was interrupted by the largest war the world had ever seen. But Wednesday almost 70 years later it came full-circle for Thill, when he was awarded an honorary diploma from Humboldt Senior High School.
The honor came as a surprise to Thill, and he was visibly grateful his voice began to shake, tears welled in his eyes.
It was something he had been thinking about for a very long time.
'I'm really proud boy, you can't believe,' said Thill, 85, holding the diploma. 'I'm going to frame this and have it up for anytime I want to look at it.'
Thill returned to his old high school in St. Paul to speak to students about his experience aboard the USS Ward, which fired the first American shots of World War II.
(Excerpt) Read more at twincities.com ...
nice guy. he signed a Ward photo for me a few years back at a WW2 memorial dedication at the MN capitol.
I'm glad they got around to doing this. Had they waited much longer, it might have been too late and they would have been told "The Thill is gone."
Cool story, although I hate to be pedantic and point out the fact that the USS Ward fired the first American shots of WWII isn't strictly true, as the US Navy was already engaging German U-boats operating in American waters for several months before Pearl Harbor.....
Yes, but as the US wasn't "really" at war then, the Ward gets the credit. The Brits might have been in since September 1939 and their convoys may have been defended by destroyers and cutters of the US Navy and the Coast Guard but for the United States' historical record WWII didn't officially start until Pearl Harbor.
My old man always told me about how the US construction workers building the local naval base (in the UK) for the previous six months on the morning of 8th December 1941 suddenly came to work in their USN uniforms like butterflys emerging from their chrysalis but the Second World War for the United States didn't 'officially' begin until December 7th 1941.
Of course not, *cough cough*.
Well, strictly speaking, when the Ward fired on that midget submarine, the US wasn't 'officially' at war with Japan either...
You are correct that the USS Ward did not fire the first American shots of WWII.
On Sept 4, 1941, the USS Greer dropped depth charges on a German U-Boat and it fired torpedoes back at the USS Greer without result.
A German U-Boat sank the USS Reuben James on October 31, 1941. 100 sailors were killed and 45 sailors were rescued depending on which account you read.
Fair point I suppose but any US servicemen who were fighting back at Pearl Harbor would unquestionably be seen as taking part in the US's part of the Second World War by virtue of that was the action which brought the US into a war which had already been declared on the US by an attacking power.
The men of the Reuben James and the Greer on the other hand certainly fought in the Second World War but it was against a nation that had not actually started hostilities against the US, but like I say it's largely an academic point.

It's like very time I go to a formal, or dance party (not so much clubs), I always see at least one girl crying or upset because her date refuses to dance with her - which is so sad! It's usually guys who are socially awkward or shy that do this, but it's almost cruel when he sees his date not having any fun, he just sits there because he "can't dance"! So my question to you is, do you like to dance? If no, then why the hell not?!
As always, girls are free to answer as well.
- Hell yes! - I love to danceVote A
- Hell no! - I have two left feetVote B
- I'll do it if I have to (ie: to blend in, or if forced to)Vote C
Most Helpful Guy
I can honestly say that I fall into the category of being pathologically afraid to go out and try to dance due to me "not being able to dance." However I can honestly say that I have only ever once in my life turned down a girl for dancing (she creeped the hell out of me). Do I like to dance? no, I recognize it probably would be fun if I learned how but I don't really have the motivation. Would I leave my date crying cause I didn't want to dance with her? Never, I swallow my pride and trip over my own feet.00|00|0

text: First off, total tribal council confusion the other night. I liked that little discussion about ruffling feathers and rustling feathers. Way to prove your point, Hayden! And I was annoyed when Caleb lost, all because his freaking tower was off balance. He should have checked the bottom was adjacent to the top (I do algebra, so I am concerned with this stuff). So get ready for Wednesday, where someone at Redemption will become the first female juror, and we get down to 5 competitors in the actual game. The suspense leading up to next Sunday is killing me! Get ready, because, like Hayden said, feathers are gonna get rustled.

As the EZ Pass mess gets worse many motorists are confused and angry about having to pay fines for violations they did not commit with their new EZ Pass toll transponders.
Legislators have to be excited to see several million dollars more in potential income from the penalties from $68,000.00 in fines which are at issue. This is real money they can "invest" in more, bigger, and expensive government.
But as with all things some would call bad in NH, Governor Lynch is above reproach. The media have a solemn Constitutional duty to protect Governor Rain Slicker.
This duty is just as solemn as the other one not found in the NH Constitution. The one requiring the Legislature to pay for education with an income tax. But it is just as important.
So if criticizing our beloved Governor is off limits, to whom should taxpayers turn to for help with EZ Pass fines they should not be paying.
I found an expert! A savior! Someone in the know.
"I am pleased the new E-ZPASS system is up and working. I always favored E-ZPASS ever since my days in the Senate because it speeds traffic, increases safety and reduces pollution. I cast a protest vote in favor of some modest toll relief for toll-bound Merrimack residents and still haven't given up on the issue, but overall E-ZPASS has been an outstanding success. Some of you know that I have also been pushing for the State to re-buy unused tokens. Not everyone agrees, but as I see it, people paid the money and didn't get the service, and I'd rather return the small amount of money or let them use the tokens as cash and hand them to an attendant."
Executive Councilor Deborah Pignatelli seems to know a thing or two about EZ Pass.
The above statement is right off her web site - and the wall.
