Aramis cautious in recovery from sprained knee
ST. LOUIS -- Milwaukee third baseman Aramis Ramirez remains on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained left knee suffered on April 5 while sliding into second base against Arizona. Ramirez missed two weeks of Spring Training with a similar injury.
Consequently, Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke says the team is taking a more cautious approach this time around.
"He's coming along fine, but we're not going to rush it," Roenicke said. "We want to make sure he is OK when he comes back.
"Whether it's 15 days or 20, I don't really know. We won't know that until it's closer to that date."
With Ramirez and Hart out, the Brewers have lost two corner infielders that accounted for 57 homers and 188 RBIs last season. The pair scored 183 runs and had 85 doubles with a combined average of .285.
"It's tough, but you've got to battle through things like that," Roenicke said.
Ramirez's injury has left a big hole in the cleanup spot in the order. Milwaukee batters are 1-for-18 in the No. 4 spot since the injury. They have struck out eight times with only one RBI.

I just wanted to post a quick follow up to Dean's post about RSS in Longhorn.
My name is Sean Lyndersay, and I'm a senior program manager on the RSS team. After Dean's announcement, we turned on our RSS Team Blog, and kicked things off with a post about the Simple List Extensions.
The RSS Team Blog will be the place to go for all things related to the RSS platform features in Longhorn. If the post has something to do with IE, then we'll cross-post as appropriate.
The other great place for feedback is the Longhorn RSS wiki, hosted on Channel 9.
One more thing: During the Gnomedex keynote (and the Channel 9 video), Dean and Amar showed a couple of sample applications which represent some ideas we have about how developers can use the RSS platform capabilities to enable new scenarios. The point I want to make is that these demos do not represent product plans. They were just ideas that the RSS team cooked up to show the value of the platform.
So, for all your IE information, keep an eye on this blog. For more RSS information, keep an eye on the RSS team blog.
- Sean
PS. Dean's last name is Hachamovitch – seems like a lot of news outlets got this wrong. Dean is accustomed to people getting his last name wrong, but I thought I'd just point it out.

Coastal Fisheries Bay Team Tournament Slated for Aransas Pass
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has scheduled a Coastal Fisheries Bay Team tournament targeting flounder for 6 a.m. until noon Nov. 15 at Conn Brown Harbor in Aransas Pass.
The program, launched in 2005, is designed to recruit experienced anglers to assist TPWD with collecting brood stock for hatchery programs. The anglers receive t-shirts and fishing lures — and the chance to win hand-held GPS units, rods and reels and BOGA-Grip handheld scales — all while promoting conservation.
An earlier event slated for Texas City was cancelled due to Huricane Ike.
"This all ties in to genetic diversity-the more fish we have for hatchery broodstock, the better it will be for the millions of fish we stock in Texas public waters to improve fishing each year," said Robert Adami, TPWD coastal fisheries biologist in Corpus Christi.
A long-term decline in southern flounder numbers in Texas bays has led to a series of public scoping meetings to consider regulation changes for the 2009-2010 season. At the same time, efforts are underway at both TPWD and the University of Texas Marine Science Institute in Port Aransas to consistently and successfully spawn flounder in captivity.
"Avoiding inbreeding is an essential component of any hatchery breeding program. You don't want the same fish siblings year after year after year," Adami said. "You want at least 25 percent of your brood stock to be new fish each year, and this program is helping us do that."
Each Coastal Fisheries Bay Team tournament is open to 30 two-person teams, 60 people total, on a first-come, first-serve basis. Registration takes place on-site the day of each tournament. There is no entry fee, but all entrants must be 21 years old or older. Participants may turn in three fish per tournament.
Everyone who brings in at least one flounder is eligible for a drawing to win a Garmin eTrex GPS, a BOGA-Grip handheld scale or a Shimano Calcutta 200B baitcasting reel mounted on a Texas Tackle Factory rod.
The prizes, equipment, and program are made possible through support from Anheuser-Busch, Inc. Since 1991, Anheuser-Busch, in partnership with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, has contributed millions of dollars in funding to support conservation causes and fishing, hunting, and outdoor recreation programs in Texas.
Anglers interested in participating should call Robert Adami at (361) 215-7340 or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Expelled ANC Youth League president Julius Malema has sent a letter to the party's national conference in Mangaung asking to get his job back.
Ousted ANCYL spokesman Floyd Shivambu said on Monday that he, along with Malema and former ANCYL secretary-general Sindiso Magaqa submitted the letter on Sunday to ask the party to "reverse the outcomes... that culminated in our suspensions and expulsion from the ANC".
In a joint statement, the three said they were willing to behave appropriately.
"We remain loyal supporters and members of the ANC willing to be corrected and guided under its principles."
The trio said they had not gone to court because they believed the national conference should take another look at the disciplinary process that led to their expulsion.
In the letter they call on the ANC to reverse their expulsions and to reinstate them into their former positions in the youth league.
They ask that Malema be given back his spot on the ANC's provincial executive committee in Limpopo.
The three remained vague on exactly what "other options to seek fair hearing and justice" they might explore if their request was unsuccessful.
"As loyal members, we are expected to exhaust all internal ANC processes before we explore any other different platform."
Malema was expelled from the ANC earlier this year for unfavourably comparing the leadership style of President Jacob Zuma to that of former president Thabo Mbeki, and for remarks on bringing about regime change in Botswana.
Shivambu was suspended from the ANC for three years for swearing at a journalist and for issuing a statement calling for a change of government in Botswana.
Magaqa, whose period of suspension was reduced from three years to one year on appeal, made derogatory remarks about Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba and the ANC's stance on nationalisation. - Sapa

LIAM PLUNKETT has been backed to become England's version of Mitchell Johnson if he makes his return for England in the opening Test against Sri Lanka at Lord's this week.
The 29-year-old Yorkshire seamer has been recalled to England's squad, seven years after his last Test appearance, having benefited from making the short move from Durham to Headingley before the start of last season.
But having worked with Plunkett for the last two seasons, Yorkshire first team coach Jason Gillespie - a former Australian Test bowler himself - has no doubt that he can perform the same role as Johnson does to such devastating effect.
Johnson took 37 wickets during Australia's 5-0 Ashes whitewash of England during the winter, bowling mainly in short bursts before captain Michael Clarke replaced him, and Gillespie believes England should use Plunkett in a similar manner if they want to get the best out of him.
"He can bowl long spells because he's so fit and strong and if he is bowling well keep him going and some days it will work and other days it won't and Australia found that out pretty quickly with Mitch," said Gillespie.
"Sometimes he went for 30 runs in four overs but the way Clarke used him is some of the best captaincy you'll see. That is a team with plans who know how they want to go about it and all the players on the field know exactly what they are doing.
"Every player in that team knew exactly what Johnson was trying to do - it was either nose or toes. He is going to go for runs and we know that about Liam here at Yorkshire but we know what he's trying to do. He bowls 90mph and if you've got an asset like that why wouldn't you bowl him in short bursts?"
Plunkett's recall comes after he has taken 24 wickets, the fourth highest tally in division one, at just 24 runs apiece having been encouraged to bowl fast from the moment he arrived at Yorkshire.
The turnaround in his career also follows a difficult period in his life when he was banned twice for drink driving, since when he has changed his lifestyle and Gillespie has nothing but praise for his attitude and commitment since he made the switch to Yorkshire.
"He had already acknowledged all that and was working his butt off and he was fit and strong," stressed Gillespie. "He'd made the decision long before he signed for Yorkshire. He just wanted an opportunity.
"I'd seen him bowl and always thought he was a really good cricketer and then I met the guy and I liked him. He spoke honestly, he acknowledged he'd stuffed up and he just wanted an opportunity.
"I didn't see any risks with a bloke that bowls 90mph and can hit the ball out of the ground. He's a good lad, who made a couple of errors of judgement, but people do that and that's what happens."
Gillespie was speaking after the second day of Yorkshire's championship match against Nottinghamshire was virtually washed out at Headingley, where only 9.3 overs were possible.
Yorkshire progressed to 76-2, still trailing Nottinghamshire by 129 runs, but 20-year-old York batsman Jack Leaning continued to impress and reached an unbeaten 35 in only his third championship appearance while captain Andrew Gale finished unbeaten on 23.

Academic Policies
Although Grinnell College is noted for its open curriculum — consistent with our philosophy of self-governance — the College is not without a significant number of policies related to a student's academic life.
As a student you should know that often there is little or no flexibility within these policies and that, in some cases, not following them can have significant academic consequences. If you have questions about any of the following policies or other procedures at the College first consult the Student Handbook. Then bring your questions to the staff at the Academic Advising Office or speak with your faculty adviser. We can help you navigate.
Student Handbook Links
- Requirements for Graduation
- Class Registration Policies
- Honesty in Academic Work
- Individual Study and Internships
- Grades and Grading
- Transfer, Advanced Placement and Examination Credits
- Off-Campus Study
- Academic Review
- Leaves or Withdrawal from the College
- Phi Beta Kappa
- Students with Disabilities
- Student Records
Dropping Below Full-Time
Considerations if dropping below full-time enrollment status
- Students may withdraw from courses until the end of the 9th week of the semester with an endorsement of their faculty adviser. After the end of the 9th week and before final day of classes, students may petition to withdraw under the Emergency Course Withdrawal policy.
- No student may drop below 8 credits.
- There is no reduction in tuition cost. Students will pay the full semester's tuition even if enrolled less than full-time. (The only exceptions are occasional 9th semester students who are allowed to complete their degrees while being charged per credit hour.)
- Students who do not make normal academic progress – i.e., earn fewer than 12 credits – during the semester will have their grades and credits reviewed by the Committee on Academic Standing. If deficient, this can result in a student being warned, placed on academic probation or academically suspended.
- There may be implications for your Financial Aid. Talk with a staff member in the Financial Aid Office to review your situation, x3250.
- There may be implications for your health insurance. Grinnell College's Student Assurance will allow you to be less-than-full time, but your personal policy (if you have one), may not allow this. Talk with your insurance carrier.
- If you are participating on a varsity athletic team, NCAA rules do not allow students who are less than full time to compete. Talk with your coach about this.
- To live in the residence halls, students must be full time. To have your situation reviewed, contact Andrea Conner, x3713.
- If you have been approved to study off campus in a future semester, you were approved on the basis of the four-year plan that you submitted when you applied, and changes to that plan may make you ineligible to participate in your off-campus program. Talk with the Director of Off-Campus Study to review your situation, x4850.
- If you are an international student holding F-1 status, a drop below full course load is allowed in limited circumstances only. It requires pre-authorization, so contact the OISA prior to a drop below full course load. Contact Karen Edwards or Brenda Strong, x3703, for more info.
- Students need to maintain full-time enrollment status – both before and after the summer internship – to be eligible to receive internship funding. Consult with the Megan Crawford at the Career Development Office, x4940 to discuss your situation, if this applies.
Emergency Leave of Absence
Students interested in seeking an emergency leave of absence should consult the Student Handbook for more information. The Leaves of Absence policy is stated there. Further information about taking a leave of absence can be found on the handout link below.
Students should then make an appointment to speak immediately with the Dean of Academic Advising. Call 641-269-3702 immediately to schedule an appointment.
Upon returning from a medical leave in the second year, a student from the class of 2013 reported:
"I have had a really great semester. I don't think it could have been better. I found adjusting to being back at Grinnell pretty seamless, probably mostly thanks to my friends. I've loved my classes and the Grinnell environment in general (much more than last year, which just shows how much I was already being affected by mental health problems then). I can say that for students who are thinking about taking a semester off or who have already decided to, getting my mental health in order has made all the difference to my college experience. I'm not taking it for granted, and still see a therapist every week, and I'm very conscious that brain chemistry is always changing and my medication may not always work as well as it does now, but at the moment I'm enjoying life at Grinnell a lot. I also would like students with mental health issues to know that taking a semester off isn't a sign of weakness. It's much wiser to take a little time off to get things straightened out than to just keep struggling through because you feel expected to."
Personal Leave of Absence
Students requesting a leave of absence should first consult the Student Handbook for more information. The Leaves of Absence policy is stated there. Further information about taking a leave of absence can be found on the Handout link below.
Students interested in applying for a leave of absence need to complete the Personal Leave Application form on the link below and submit it to the Dean of Academic Advising.
A brief interview with the Dean of Academic Advising is also required. Call 641-269-3702 to schedule an appointment.

Gov.-elect Mark Dayton filled another cabinet post Wednesday with his selection of Susan Haigh as Metropolitan Council chair.
Haigh is currently CEO of Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity, where she said she plans to continue her work. She also served 10 years as a Ramsey County Commissioner and 12 years as a chief deputy county attorney. In a news release, Dayton called Haigh a "proven leader and consensus-builder."
The governor appoints the 17 member Met Council which oversees the work of 3,700 employees and an annual budget of about $780 million.
The Met Council is the regional planning agency for the seven counties that make up the Twin Cities metropolitan area. It also operates the regional systems for mass transit and waste water treatment.
Haigh said she regards the chair position as part time.
"Statutorily it is and so I'm looking forward to bringing my skills, that I've developed over many years in my career, as a consensus builder and as a collaborator and as someone who really listens to and understands local government to this work," she said.
Haigh will succeed Peter Bell, who led the Met Council for eight years under Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
Dayton will be sworn in as governor on Monday, but so far he's filled just four of about two-dozen cabinet posts.

MADISON - Wearing a pair of dark wash jeans and a black sweater, Wisconsin junior tailback Montee Ball made his future football decision, one that even he admits caught a lot of people off guard.
"It came down to looking in the mirror and telling myself what's best for myself and my family and just listening to my heart," Ball, who finished with more than 2,200 total yards this season and 39 touchdowns, said. "To the entire Wisconsin nation, I will be returning for my senior season."
Ball contemplated just about everything he could have in the buildup to this decision, one that he said started with some rather unassuming paperwork in late November. Everything from money, draft status, college life, the Heisman Trophy a college degree and a promise he made to his parents were discussed.
"The NFL came back and told me third round," Ball, who told his running back teammates his decision on Saturday, two days prior to UW's Rose Bowl game, said. "Just listening to what my parents had to say and listening to my heart, I believe I had to come back for my senior season and really be a leader for this team.
Not many would make a better leader for this Wisconsin team than Ball.
Having had the experience of losing his position to James White a year ago, as well as a bitter Rose Bowl loss to TCU, motivated Ball to become what he was this season, that being one of the best running backs in the entire nation.
That, in essence, is a reason many are so surprised Ball decided to come back. What could he possibly do to boost his draft stock for next year? How could he possibly do better than rush for 1,900-plus yards and 32 touchdowns?
He did just tie Barry Sanders' 23-year-old record for touchdowns scored in a single-season, after all.
To those people, Ball has a stern message.
"You don't know what I'm capable of doing," Ball said. "You have no idea what I can or cannot do for next season. Like I said, sit back, relax and enjoy another great season."
And it will be a season that's much different than this most recent one. Wisconsin won't have Russell Wilson, Nick Toon, its right side of the line, Aaron Henry, Antonio Fenelus, Patrick Butrym, Louis Nzegwu and Kevin Claxton on the field anymore.
They won't have Paul Chryst, Bob Bostad, DelVaughn Alexander and potentially Joe Rudolph in the coaches box anymore. And fellow junior Peter Konz still needs to make his decision public.
There's plenty of change coming for Wisconsin. That's another facet Ball considered with this decision.
"I have a lot of faith in coach Bielema," Ball said. "It is his job to keep this program where it's at. I believe he'll find coaches that are just as good or better than the coaches we had. I have faith in him.
"I know for a fact we'll be right where we're at."
Ball, wasn't sure what next year was going to present for Wisconsin. He wasn't sure if UW was going to be an 11-win team, if he was going to rush for 1,900 yards or if it would be back in the Big Ten championship competing for its third-straight Rose Bowl.
But always being a man of his word, Ball had to make due on a promise he made to his parents. And he wanted to make sure he had an opportunity to become a leader on a team while cementing his legacy in Madison.
"I promised my parents I'd get my degree," Ball said. "I'll stick by that promise. Like I told a couple players, maybe I'm not ready to leave yet. Maybe I'm not ready to leave this all behind. Maybe I'm not ready to leave this environment of this time of my life that I'll never get back. I'm a Badger for life, but I believe right now my heart lies heavily with the Badger family, not the NFL.
"I'm really looking forward to, if the players vote on it, for me to become a captain on this team."
The following is the audio file from Ball's press conference:

Jay Perryman found the gold coin he'd been searching for buried in the white sand near the edge of the spring. He snatched it up, pivoted on the balls of his feet and sped back toward the water's edge. The water was too shallow to dive straight in, and Perryman had to wade out to about chest level before he had enough depth to begin kicking his legs.

Texas Rangers to host Quintana Roo Tigers on Thursday
Arlington, TX-The Texas Rangers will return home to play the Quintana Roo Tigers (Tigres de Quintana Roo) of the Triple-A Mexican League in an exhibition game, tomorrow night, Thursday, March 27 at Globe Life Park in Arlington.
Tickets for the 7:05 p.m. game can be purchased at texasrangers.com, by calling 972.RANGERS and at the Globe Life Park First Base Ticket Office. Tickets are priced at $20.00 for Lower Level and All You Can Eat Seats, $15.00 for Club Level Seats, and $10.00 for Upper Level Seats.
It will mark the third consecutive year that the Rangers have played a Mexican League team in Arlington as Texas defeated the Mexico City Red Devils in 2012 and 2013.
The Tigers, who are from Cancun, captured their second Mexican League championship in the last three seasons in 2013, defeating Monterrey, four games to one, in the final series.
Texas is scheduled to start RHP Tanner Scheppers, who was named today as the club's opening day starter. He will be opposed by Quintana Roo RHP Amaury Sanit.
A pair of special pre-game ceremonies are planned for tomorrow night. The Rangers will honor the memory of Adelfa Botello Callejo, whose work over many decades had a huge impact on the Dallas Hispanic Community.

Favorite F Name: Poll
I've been loving F names for boys. A name that starts with F seems soft and kind.
What do you think of my favorites:
Faolan (Irish: little wolf)
Faramond (German: journey protection)
Felix (Latin: happy fortunate)
Ferdinand (German: bold voyager)
Florent (French from Latin: flowering)
Frederick (English: peaceful ruler)
Fyodor (Russian: God's gift)
I also like Felicity. Maybe, I like Felicity more than Felix.
I really want to use Rainier for a son as well. Rainier is German, meaning wise army.
Would using another German name be too much?
Please vote and comment below. Thanks.
June 30th, 2013 08:43 PM #3
Do you have any German ancestry? Rainier doesn't seem overly German--I think you could get away with something like Rainier and Faramond or Rainier and Ferdinand. I came across a Fernando nn Fred--I think Ferdinand (maybe nn Freddie?) would be pretty amazing, too. I also love Faramond and Frederick. I like Florian, Felix, Fielding/Fielder, Foster, Flynn, Fisher, Finnegan, Finnian, etc., too.
Good luck!Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

I'm Luxembourgish/German/British. I could get away with German kids, but my daughters name is Primrose. An English name.
I really like Foster too! But a close friend of mine had twins. Foster and Forest. Foster is a girl. That sort of took the charm out of it for me.
I really like Florian too. I thought that Florent sounded more male. The meaning of the name and the sound of the names are already rather soft. So, I thought I tried to harden it up a bit. I've also known a Florianne and a Florian, both female. They are a little older though.
Thanks for your comment.

The most interesting question comes from a young man who starts off by thanking the congressman for posting about his votes on Facebook. The comment elicits immediate applause and whoops. After that dies down, the questioner continues:
"There's a strain of libertarianism — people believe that the state is completely immoral and that we shouldn't have any involvement in it," he says. "I disagree with that, and as a congressman you probably disagree with that as well. What would you say — "
Amash cuts him off: "Or I'm really sneaky."
The crowd laughs, whoops, and applauds. A few leap to their feet.
"Touché," says the questioner. More laughter. "What would you say to the people who believe in that, and that we should not work within the system to try and fix it?"
"Well, I don't know how to convince the people who don't want to work within the system," says Amash. "We have a system here. The Founders of the country certainly believed in working through a political system. That's why they put it in place." He defends the American system as the best protector of liberty. And he concludes by arguing that anarchy would eventually end in some sort of government anyway.

Actually a pretty good idea.
Browse the pics thread of some of those members...good stuff. Maybe we should do something like that here.
Read this thread...it gets good about the 5th or 6th page (the pages are small). These kids look like they could use a pair of scissors for that rug on their heads. I don't mind long hair, but I hate when it looks like a sheep dog.
Man, am I bored at 3:09 in the morning or what. Good times.
A "pics of you" thread wouldn't be a bad idea. Of course, most of the forum junkies (the ones who could make it to Pizza King) are found in pics from the forum party.

Yeah, start one. I've got a gorgeous photo of my prom I could post - circa 1986, complete with a tux from the "Miami Vice" collection!

Has anyone heard of an alkeline diet including alkeline water for chemo patients?
This article about alkaline diet is easy to understand:
Alkaline Diet: What to Know Before Trying It
http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/alka … at-to-know
Mayo Clinic nutritionist answers a question about alkaline water:
Is alkaline water better for you than plain water?
This article is a bit more advanced, but still quite understandable:
Acid/Alkaline Theory of Disease Is Nonsense
http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRel … oral2.html
My opinion:
Alkaline diet is mostly vegetarian diet so it's basically a healthy diet. At the same time, it doesn't have any magic properties to cure cancer. If you are going to follow this diet, buy regular food at the supermarket. No need to pay extra for "special" alkaline foods.
Alkaline water is a waste of money.
I am so glad you asked this question! My mother in law has spent hundreds of dollars on alkaline supplements, cookbooks, two juicers, etc for my husband insisting it will all cure him and that the pharmaceutical industry is hiding this bit of knowledge. Thank you, Eli, for putting all the info I need in one place. It's absolutely exhausting having to defend the inclusion of non-alkaline foods in our meals.
I am with you and Eli. IF there was a Miracle Cure for CC we would not be here. While I believe everyone has the patient's best interest at heart it is very exhausting, as you say to fight the CC as a Caretaker then have to listen to those who think they know best. I understand as a mother she wants to help, but I let it be known from the beginning that I was the chief. Guess it was not hard for me to do I like control anyway~!

Mill Valley became the center of the Deadhead universe this week as the Grateful Dead spinoff band Furthur opened a sold-out, four-night run at Sweetwater Music Hall.
Furthur fans from Marin, the Bay Area and across the country descended on the town Wednesday for the series of shows, featuring erstwhile Grateful Dead bandmates Bob Weir and Phil Lesh.
Bill Fieber, a 53-year-old real estate developer from New Canaan, Conn., flew in a few hours before the concert with seven of his friends and two dogs. They were meeting other friends from Southern California, Seattle, Atlanta and New York for a week of fun and games in Marin.
"We want to catch all four shows and the 49er game on Sunday," he said Wednesday evening as VIP ticket-holders enjoyed a pre-show buffet included in their $300 ticket. "No other music gives me this sense of friendship," he said, looking around at the crowd packed into the 300-person capacity club. "We plan to go for hikes during the day, eat a nice dinner and listen to the music at night. That really brings the troops out."
With their backpacks, dogs, sleeping bags and blankets, young Deadheads without tickets set up a makeshift camp on the City Hall lawn across the street from the club. Several of them stood looking hopefully at the lines of fans going inside, and held their index fingers in the air, the Deadhead sign that they need a miracle ticket.
"You could offer $10,000 and most people wouldn't sell their ticket," said one young man who declined to give his name.
"It's going to be like this every night," said a tall Deadhead named Joe, holding his finger in the air. "All the shows are sold out, but that's not going to stop us from being here."
To accommodate the non-ticket holders and avoid problems in town, Sweetwater staff put a Porta-Potty on the sidewalk in front of the club for their use.
At about 7:45 p.m., Furthur came onstage to the excited cheers of their loyal fans, opening the first night's show with the Grateful Dead classic "Playing in the Band."

Crystal clear images
Low power consumption
Quick installation
Unrivaled short-range performance
Join the Broadband Radar revolution for superior short-range target detection and unrivaled target separation.
* Crystal Clear Images
* Zero Radiation Hazard
* InstantOn
* Low Power Consumption
* Mount Anywhere
* Quick Installation
* Unrivaled Short-Range Performance
* 10 MARPA Targets
Now with 30% more range -
Broadband 3G Radar allows you to see more targets farther away from your boat. Now you get the same impressive short-range capabilities of the original Broadband Radar with the addition of exposing targets previously unseen before.
Unparalleled Short Range Target Discrimination -
Simrad Yachting's Broadband Radar provides amazing target resolution, even at an unprecedented 1/32 nm range. Docks, channel markers, moored vessels, and other critical targets are displayed with clarity and separation. Broadband Radar technology also eliminates the "main bang" of a pulse radar - the obscured "dead zone" immediately around the vessel - which interferes with close target detection.
Lowest RF Transmission for Safe, Flexible Installation -
Because Simrad Broadband Radar transmits at 1/10,000 the power of typical pulse radars (emitting 5 times less energy than an average cell phone), the radome is safe to mount in locations never before possible. In addition, the lowest DC power draw of any X-band marine radar makes this system ideally suited for sailboats and other vessels with limited power.
Navigation in an Instant -
No more waiting 2-3 minutes for a magnetron to warm up - 100% solid-state design provides InstantOn capability. When darkness falls or the fog rolls in, you will always be ready. Ideal for sailboats wishing to save power or boats at anchor not wishing to run the radar continuously.

More than a year has passed since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast region, and although thousands of volunteers have traveled to the area to provide relief assistance, a tremendous amount of work remains. 18 students from the Washington and Lee University School of Law saw this up close during their spring break when they joined a nationwide relief effort providing legal services and manual labor in New Orleans.
Students were astonished to find that even after all this time much of the cities residential areas remain in ruins and largely uninhabited. Only half of the total population before the storm has returned, and only 20% of the African-American population remains.
"It's really like there are two cities," said Yousri Omar '07, one of the students who joined the effort. "The French Quarter and the business district are fine, but in the lower 9th ward and elsewhere it looks like the day after the storm." Omar noted that the neighborhoods still in need of clean up were inhabited largely by minorities who have not returned to the city, "but how can you expect them to return when their homes and schools still don't have electricity?"
Law students from all three class years participated in the trip. Third year students participating were Kellie Fiedler, Annette Lyn, Beth McKee, Yousri Omar, Houston Stokes, and Mohamed Younis. Second year students participating were Patrick Garry, Diane Meier, Juliette Syn, Sean Whittington, Leslie Williams, and Christen C. Wray. First year students participating were Crystal Doyle, Brad Henson, Jennie Lin, Kate Loudenslagel, Oleg Nudelman, and Meghan Williams.
The trip was organized and sponsored by the Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice, with additional funding coming from the Public Interest Law Students Association (PILSA) and the Dean's office. Organizers worked with the Student Hurricane Network (SHN) to place the students with local, state and federal agencies, such as the Juvenile Justice Project of LA, the Alliance for Affordable Energy, and the Katrina Corp/FEMA Mapping survey. The SHN is a national association dedicated to providing long-term assistance to communities affected by Hurricane Katrina and works with law students and administrators from all over the United States to create and coordinate volunteer opportunities for law students in the Gulf Coast.
Omar, who is the editor of the Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice, said the idea of a service trip was conceived when the staff of the journal began working with Professor Dorothy Brown and the Lewis Law Center on their spring symposium, which will focus on what the Hurricane Katrina disaster revealed about race and class in America.
"Symposia are great for generating discussions about policy and solutions to big problems, but it can take a long time for this to lead to real action" said Omar. "We wanted to do something for the area that had an immediate impact." Omar hopes the focus on the gulf coast will continue at the University with students participating in long distance research and clinical projects during the year which lead to a service trip in the spring.
The symposium, "Race and Class in the 21st Century through the Lens of Hurricane Katrina" is scheduled for Friday, April 13 at the School of Law and will feature as keynote speaker Marc Morial, former mayor of New Orleans and president of the National Urban League, as well as famed litigator Richard Scruggs, Esq.

During the hustle and bustle of December, Bob received a phone call from Dave inviting us to include some of our favorite products in the Oregon-only welcome baskets he was making. The gift baskets would welcome the families that were renting his homes in Hawaii for the Christmas holiday.
And guess what?
The person renting the home was none other than President-elect Barack Obama and his family. Of course, we were very excited to be included in the gift baskets for the Obamas and their guests. We hurried around the mill and collected granolas, cereals, pancake mixes, oats and anything else we could think of that he or his girls might like.
A few days ago, we heard from Dave that our products were well received by the Obamas. The chef cooking for them was familiar with our products and prepared them for the guests.
Some of the other fine Oregon companies that were included in the baskets were Tillamook Cheese, Pelican Brewery, ArborBrook Vineyards and the Trailblazers.
To read more about the Obamas' stay in Hawaii, check out this great article from the Portland Tribune.

Israel's Ben Gurion international airport was paralyzed all day Tuesday, November 20, after airport staff went on what was meant to be a four-hour strike that led to all flights being cancelled, an airport spokesman said.
The strike by more than 2,000 airport staff was called by the central Histadrut union, which accused the management of failing to respect wage agreements signed in 1999.
Foreign airlines were given advance warning of the industrial action, which started at 8:00 am (0600 GMT) and was due to finish at midday, the spokesman said. However, the strike was continuing into the evening. Incoming flights were landing at the airport, near Tel Aviv, but were not being unloaded. — (AFP, Jerusalem)

Gamahiro (ガマヒロ, Gamahiro), also referred to as just Hiro (ヒロ, Hiro), is a giant toad that resides on Mount Myōboku.
Gamahiro is a huge toad, though like Gamabunta his size is depicted inconsistently; he is generally shown to be taller than buildings and trees. He has an aquamarine skin tone and yellow eyes with grey markings around them and two distinct, circular markings on his shoulders. He also carries two huge katanas on his back, which are his main weapons with an orange sash around his stomach. In the anime in Part I, he was coloured brown.
Gamahiro wields two large swords with great proficiency, able to use them to easily dispatch his enemies. He has also shown aptitude in close-range taijutsu.
Part I
Konoha Crush
During the Konoha Crush, as the Konoha-nin attempted to stave off Orochimaru's large snakes, but with very little luck, Jiraiya made his reappearance into the village, by summoning Gamahiro atop the snake. With his sheer size he crushes at least one of the snakes as soon as he lands on them.
Land of Rice Fields Investigation Mission
In the anime, Jiraiya summoned him to help Sasame, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki escape from Orochimaru's hideout that was being destroyed.
Part II
Pain's Assault
Along with Gamaken and Gamabunta, Gamahiro was summoned to assist in Naruto Uzumaki's fight with Pain. Upon Fukasaku's orders they engaged the Animal Path's summons. He initially attacked the ox with several damaging blows and then finished it with two precise strikes from his swords. When the Giant Multi-Headed Dog began to replicate after being attacked by Gamabunta, he fend them off until the Animal Path was incapacitated by Naruto, thus dispelling the summoned creatures. The three toads later engaged both the Deva Path and Preta Paths directly but they were sent flying beyond Konoha's borders by the Deva Path's Shinra Tensei technique after his power returned. After the battle, he is last seen lying at the bottom of a lake.[2]
Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation
Gamahiro was later summoned to the battlefield by Naruto to crush a mutated White Zetsu Army clone.[3] Naruto then left him on lookout while he deployed his clones all over the battlefield.
In Other Media
Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie
Main article: Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie
|The Springtime of Youth wiki has an article about this topic:
- In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja 4, a miniature version of Gamahiro appears as a catchable toad that is called "Professor" due to his interest in geography and such. He wears a teacher's hat.
- Out of all the toads that can be summoned, Gamahiro is the one to appear while using the technique "Summoning: Food Cart Destroyer Technique" in games such as Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 and Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2, thus mirroring his first appearance in the manga and anime.
- When Gamahiro first appears in the anime, he is coloured green and brown. This is updated to a teal colour for the Pain's Assault, keeping with the manga's colouration.
- Though first summoned in Part I, he was not named until he was summoned again in Part II.
- Though Gamahiro has spoken in the anime,[4] he has yet to do so in the manga.
- Gamahiro's name might come from the Japanese city of Hiroshima, which is where the Battles Without Honour and Humanity (仁義なき戦い, Jingi Naki Tatakai) series of films play and where Gamabunta's dialect comes from. Hiroshima is strongly connected to the Yakuza, if only through films.

The rules and restrictions for foreign and domestic travelers change so quickly that even frequent travelers can hardly keep up. Just when you figure you've got it all down pat, the Department of Homeland Security changes the terror threat level or bans yet another item in carry-on luggage, the State Department revises documentation requirements, the airlines update baggage or ticketing procedures, and a foreign government announces new visa restrictions.
Your cruise line or travel agent may alert you to some of the rules you need to know for your next vacation at sea, but you can't count on them to tell you everything. It's best to educate yourself on the latest travel guidelines, especially as getting things wrong can lead to more travel hassles, extra expenses and possibly being denied boarding at the pier.
At best, the overview provided here is a snapshot. You'll want to double check the rules as they pertain to your specific travel plans. To that end, we've provided you with your very own toolbox of Internet resources, in addition to our general overview of rules and regulations. For more on ensuring smooth travels, check out our article on Nine Steps to Stress-Free Travel.
Travel Documents
Passports: For U.S. citizens, passports are necessary for travel by land, sea or air anywhere outside the United States. U.S. citizens may opt instead to use a U.S. Passport Card when traveling by land or sea (not air) between the United States, Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean. Approved by the Department of Homeland Security, the card is a limited-use passport reduced down to the size of a driver's license. Most cruise lines require that the passport or passport card be valid for at least six months following the completion of your travels.
One exception to the passport or passport card rule applies to "closed-loop" cruises -- itineraries that begin and end at the same U.S. port. Passengers on these cruises still need to present a government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license) and proof of citizenship (an original or certified copy of a birth certificate, certificate of naturalization or similar documentation), but they are not required to carry passports. However, we recommend passports even for closed-loop sailings because in the case of an emergency -- such as an injury or illness that forces you to debark in a foreign port -- a passport will make it much easier to handle unexpected travel.
Passengers without acceptable identification will not be allowed onboard and will not receive a refund if they miss the cruise for lack of correct documentation.
For more information, check out IndependentTraveler.com's Passport Center.
Visas: For Americans, a few "typical" cruise destinations require visas. The most common are Turkey, Russia and Brazil. Check with your cruise line because country policies can vary. For instance, in Russia, if you plan to purchase a ship's shore excursion, the visa requirement is waived. If you choose to tour with an approved independent tour operator, you may also bypass the visa restriction. But if you plan to wander around St. Petersburg on your own, you'll have to secure a visa ahead of time. Contact a consulate or embassy near you. Visas also can be obtained through visa services like Zierer Visa Service or G3 Visas & Passport; you will pay an extra processing fee for the convenience.
Other countries, like Egypt and Turkey, will allow cruise ships to acquire "blanket visas" that cover all passengers. In this case, you typically won't have to do a thing (though do check with your cruise line beforehand, just in case).
Some countries may be choosey about which travelers are eligible for visas. If your Mediterranean itinerary offers a call at Libya's Tripoli, you'll be denied entry if you have an Israeli visa or entry/exit stamps in your passport. (Some other countries in the Middle East and Africa have the same rule.) In the past, Americans weren't even allowed to disembark in Libya at all.
Bottom line: The visa requirement is your responsibility, not the cruise line's. Double-check any information given to you by the cruise line regarding visas, and if you think you might need to apply for one, make sure you start the process well in advance of your trip.
Proof of Vaccination: Generally, vaccinations are not required for travel to cruise destinations. The main, albeit rare, exception is for yellow fever inoculations. If you are traveling to or recently visited one of the 29 African countries or 14 South or Central American nations where there is a risk of yellow fever, you may be required to present proof of vaccination to visit other nations or return to the United States.

Air Travel
Be forewarned: Airline regulations vary wildly. Here we're offering a sampling, culled from American and Delta. (If you're flying with another airline, check for their own specifics.) For more information, check out IndependentTraveler.com's What to Expect at the Airport.
Checking In: The recommended time to arrive at the airport is currently 90 minutes before departure for domestic (60 minutes if not checking bags) and two hours before departure for international flights.
However, there are important exceptions to this rule. From certain foreign departure cities, recommended arrival time at the airport for return flights to the United States exceeds two hours. For example, Delta and American recommend showing up three hours ahead for flights from Dublin and Paris (Charles de Gaulle); travelers flying to the United States from Istanbul should allow 3 1/4 hours.
Remember, requirements can change on a moment's notice. If you are returning to the States from any foreign destination, check with your airline for its current arrival requirements.
Bags are accepted for check-in until 30 to 90 minutes prior to departure, depending on the airport and whether you're traveling in the U.S. or internationally. While the airlines officially state that a passenger must have checked in at least 30 minutes and be at the gate no less than 15 minutes prior to departure for a domestic flight, we suggest allowing far more time, especially during busy holiday seasons. For good measure, aim for one hour.
Carry-On Restrictions: All liquids, gels and aerosols being carried on must be in 3.4-ounce or smaller containers (half-used containers with 3.4 ounces or less remaining do not count), and they must be packed in a single, one-quart-sized, clear zip-top plastic bag. Exceptions include liquid medicines and baby milk/food. For more information, visit Airport Security Q&A from IndependentTraveler.com.
Other rules: Both American and Delta limit carry-ons to one (plus a personal item). Personal items include laptop computers, camera cases, purses, briefcases and the like. Items including crutches, canes, wheelchairs, walkers, one food item (for onboard consumption), outer garments and one item of reading material are exempt. Many airlines also do not count items for lap infants, such as diaper bags, umbrella strollers or safety seats, but check with your airline for their specific regulations. (Strollers and car seats can often be gate-checked.)
Anticipate a weight maximum of 40 pounds for that carry-on. There's also a size restriction. Maximum linear size (length + width + height) for the carry-on is 45 inches. On some aircraft, especially older ones, this must be derived from a size that will fit under the seat in front of you (9 by 14 by 22 inches).
International flights and carriers may have different carry-on restrictions than domestic ones; first and business class may have different restrictions than coach. Be sure to check with your airline regarding your specific situation.
Checked Luggage: Most airlines charge you to check bags. Both Delta and American charge economy class passengers $25 for the first checked bag and between $30 and $60 for the second bag, depending on the destination. (Checked bags are free for business-class and first-class travelers, holders of certain airline-sponsored credit cards and elite-level frequent flyers.) Average weight maximums are 50 pounds for domestic travel and up to 70 pounds on some, but not all, international flights; otherwise, plan to pay a surcharge. Travelers should also be aware that, during the heaviest travel days around Thanksgiving and Christmas, airlines reserve the right to refuse to take excess baggage in numbers or weight, regardless of whether the traveler is willing to pay a penalty surcharge.
Again, check with your airline. Some airlines like Southwest don't charge bag fees at all or allow the first checked bag free. International travel will have different requirements than domestic.
To avoid paying the fees, check out IndependentTraveler.com's Seven Smart Ways to Bypass Baggage Fees.
Packing Restrictions: There are certain items that cannot be packed in your checked luggage. This list, which is too long to print here, changes periodically, so it makes sense to check with DHS and TSA (the agency responsible for airport security).

Passenger Limitations: Many cruise lines will not allow women to sail in the third trimester of pregnancy; depending on the cruise line, you must be 23 to 26 weeks pregnant or less on the day of disembarkation. Some cruise lines require written approval from a doctor.
Babies must be at least 12 months old for transocean or world cruises and 6 months old for all other cruises. Disney is the exception, taking babies at just 3 months. Some adult-oriented ships don't allow children at all.
A single parent traveling with children -- on some itineraries -- may be required to show a letter of permission from the second parent (and it may need to be notarized). This would apply to both boarding the cruise ship and boarding an airplane.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Requirements: The DHS requires cruise lines to provide a final passenger manifest two hours before departure. The tight deadline is one reason why cruise lines have offered incentives to passengers to provide their personal information well in advance.

And now to a classical takedown.
BLOCK: That's Pachelbel's "Canon in D," and it appears on one of the hottest releases of the year, "Fifty Shades of Grey: The Classical Album."
Yes, the classical album. It's composed of works that inspired author E.L. James while she was writing her steamy best-selling trilogy. And it has spent 11 weeks on Billboard's Classical Traditional Albums chart, 10 of those in the top slot.
BLOCK: But now, "Fifty Shades of Grey" has been knocked from first place by, well, a different shade all together.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMEN: (Singing in foreign language).
BLOCK: The new number one album is called "Advent at Ephesus" by the Bendictines of Mary Queen of Apostles - that's a group of singing nuns from Missouri.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMEN: (Singing in foreign language).
MONICA FITZGIBBONS: I doubt that they even know what "Fifty Shades of Grey" is, much less anything in the top 200. I mean, they're really unplugged.
SIEGEL: That's Monica Fitzgibbons, co-founder of De Montfort Music, the nuns' record label.
The album features Gregorian chants and traditional English and Latin hymns. The singing sisters have recorded three albums before this one, but "Advent at Ephesus" is their first with a major label and national distribution and their first number one hit.
MOTHER CECILIA: There's nothing like this out there on the market.
SIEGEL: That's Mother Cecilia, who appears on the album. She's the leader of the group.
CECILIA: I mean, I think that, along with that hidden desire, maybe, in many souls to turn to the spiritual side, I think that's what is making us a success.
BLOCK: As for the success of that now-number-two album on Billboard's Classical Traditional Albums chart, Monica Fitzgibbons says...
FITZGIBBONS: It just goes to show you that art is different for everybody. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

- How to Read a Study Record
The Hematology Branch of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute is doing a variety of laboratory research experiments that require blood and tissue samples from healthy volunteers. This protocol provides a mechanism for collecting these tissue samples. Research includes studies of normal and abnormal formation of blood cells, viral blood diseases, the role of the immune system in marrow failure and genetic risk factors for aplastic anemia.
Healthy normal volunteers 8 years of age and older may be eligible for this study. Samples are collected as follows:
- Blood samples: Participants 8 years of age and older donate up to 4 tablespoons of blood, which is obtained from a needle placed in an arm vein.
- Participants 8 years of age and older donate a buccal mucosa sample (cells from the inside of the cheek). The inside of the cheek is scraped gently with a nylon brush.
- Participants 18 years of age and older donate a bone marrow sample. The bone marrow is obtained from the hip bone. The skin over the area is wiped clean with alcohol and iodine, and then a local anesthetic is injected under the skin and also into the bone. When the area is numb, a bone marrow aspiration needle is introduced through the bone surface into the marrow. The marrow cells are collected using a syringe connected to the needle.

text: Hey everyone. It is time to get some new tires for my hunting truck which is a 2001 7.3 Excursion. The tire on it now are the tires that were on it when I bought it. They are Michelin LTX/MS 285/75 R16. They have been good tires but more of a Highway tire. I am looking for a tire that would be good on the highway and for off road use. I was looking at the Michelin LTX A/T 2 or the BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO. Any input would be great.

During this 10-day period, all Texas bays will be closed to crabbing with crab traps, and any traps left in the bay will be presumed abandoned and considered litter under state law, allowing volunteers to legally remove any crab traps they find. Before the 77th Legislature authorized the abandoned crab trap removal program, only the trap's owner or a Texas game warden could legally remove a crab trap. State game wardens pick up more than 2,500 traps annually, yet there are many more still in the water to foul shrimpers' nets, snag fishermen's lines, ghost fish and create an unsightly view of Texas shores. Volunteers are needed to assist in the coast-wide effort to remove the numerous wire mesh traps that have been lost or abandoned since last year's cleanup. To facilitate volunteer trap removal efforts this year, TPWD will provide trap drop-off sites at several locations along the coast Saturday, Feb. 20, from 8 a.m. to noon, weather permitting. Additionally, at most sites, dumpsters marked with banners will be available to receive traps for the duration of the closure. Site locations will be announced in February. Volunteers can work at their own pace during the closure as time and weather permit, but traps cannot be removed prior to Feb. 19 or after Feb. 28. Last year, volunteers, with the aid of numerous sponsors, removed more than 1,900 traps. "The success of this program is a reflection of the keen sense of stewardship anglers and other outdoor enthusiasts have for the marine resources of this great state. Volunteers are working themselves out of a job, as indicated by the waning number of traps removed each year, but that is a good thing," said Art Morris, TPWD program coordinator. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Coastal Program, Coastal Conservation Association Texas, Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program, and the Cecil M. Hopper Museum are providing significant support to the crab trap removal program. Additional help is coming from numerous organizations and companies who are volunteering their services. To participate, volunteers can arrange to pickup free tarps, gloves, trap hooks and additional information at their local TPWD Coastal Fisheries Field Stations. TPWD requests volunteers record and submit information about the number of traps that they collect as well as any sightings of diamondback terrapins. For more information about the Abandoned Crab Trap Removal Program and how you can volunteer, please contact your local TPWD Coastal Fisheries Office or Art Morris at the Corpus Christi Field Station: (361) 825-3356, email@example.com; or Tonya Wiley at the Dickinson Marine Lab: (281) 534-0131, email@example.com. -30-

TNA - 23 February 2012
by, 02-24-2012 at 01:02 AM (2844 Views)
Opening video of Bobby Rude's recent acts. Cut to Rude entering the ring, to the apparent displeasure of the crowd. We are reminded on-screen of Sting's tweet this past week reading simply "I'M DONE," and a promise that Sting will be present to address that.
Rude starts out by saying that Sting has quit and is leaving because of Rude. He runs down his own accomplishments, starting with winning the WHC, but says that ending Sting's career is the greatest accomplishment of his life.
Backstage scene with Matt Morgan and Crimson arguing over the loss of the Tag Team belts, but they agree to go out and get the belts back as a team.
Match: Samoa Joe/Magnus (champions) v Matt Morgan/Crimson
Who I think will win: Joe/Magnus
Who I want to win: Joe/Magnus
I think the team of Matt Morgan and Crimson is quickly breaking down without the belts, and we really need to see these two go at each other. Eventually they may recombine to take back the belts but for now it's more interesting to see them fight.
Crimson and Morgan start out on the offensive, and Magnus gets tossed out of the ring. Morgan and Joe start the match proper off with a few high-impact moves, then tags Crimson in. Joe fights Crimson off and tags in Magnus. Back and forth it goes, until Morgan and Crimson come at Joe from opposite corners, Joe ducks out of the way, and Crimson knocks Morgan for a loop. Joe tosses Crimson out of the ring, Joe and Magnus hit their finishing combo and pin Morgan.
Winner: Joe/Magnus (my score: 1/0)
Video recap of Brandon Jacobs (NY Giants running back) last week on Impact and we are told he will be on next, after the commercial.
Brandon Jacobs comes out to a mediocre pop from the crowd. He says that he probably shouldn't have crossed the rail, but Bully Ray shouldn't have spit in his face. He's back this week to let Bully know that he's in Bully's backyard again, one more time. Brandon calls Bully out and wants to face him one on one. Bully comes out and says "Settle down for a minute Brenda … I mean Brandon." He runs down Jacobs, and a pretty good "Brandon Jacobs" chant gets going. Bully says that he has a tag team match later on and isn't going to waste his time on a guy who only got 59 yards in the Super Bowl and didn't even score a touchdown, so he'll stay where he is and keep running Jacobs down. Brandon says that if Bully is going to say there, then he will just have to come to Bully. He climbs out of the ring and chases Bully backstage as we cut to commercial.
We return to see Jacobs walking backstage looking for Bully. He is stopped by James Storm who asks him if he wants Bully Ray. Brandon says he does, and they are joined by Jeff Hardy. A quick whispering between the three and some sort of agreement is reached; the three walk off. I'm guessing Brandon replaced Hardy in the match.
Now, I'm usually not much into having non-wrestlers get involved in wrestling matches. WWE's long-running series of "celebrity guest hosts" on RAW was pretty dismal, if I may say so myself. Let's not even start talking about David Arquette. On the other hand, Jacobs is at least marginally believable and HAS to be better than Snooki. Or Drew Carey.
Match: Zima Ion v Alex Shelley
Who I want to win: Shelley
Who I think will win: Ion
I think it's a mistake having Ion on and reminding people who caused Sorenson's injury so much. On the other hand, it's a good way to build up massive heat against this guy. Seeing as how they let him "steal" the pin from Aries last week, I think they're building him as a pretty classic heel. Not sure what they're going to do with Aries though, as the rivalry between these two is getting heated. Either turn Aries face or go heel v heel storyline. Both sound interesting.
Ion beats down Shelley and starts to use his hair spray to get prettier. Aries comes out from the back, wearing the X-division belt and carrying a big box of popcorn and a glass of wine. This distracts Ion and Shelley is able to get the upper hand. Aries sits down on a chair at ringside and eats his popcorn. The actions spills out onto the floor, and Ion slips his hair spray into his tights, seen by everybody except the referee. Ion knocks Shelley toward the corner, almost colliding with the referee who cowers in fear while not seeing Ion spray the hair spray into Shelley's eyes then toss it out of the ring. Ion knocks Shelley around a few seconds then covers him for the win. Aries just walks away, shaking his head.
Winner: Zima Ion (my score: 2/0)
Video recap of Garrett Bischoff with Hogan against Gunner with Eric Bischoff, followed by an "interview" with Garrett followed by Hogan coming in and warning him about Eric. Cut to Madison Rayne talking about Sting and Gail Kim.
Match: ODB v Gail Kim
Who I want to win: Gail Kim
Who I think will win: Gail Kim
I've always liked Gail Kim, no secret there. I think her monopoly of the women's championships is, while arguably undeserved, at least somewhat interesting and gives some great opportunity for plotlines down the road. Not very far down the road hopefully; it is starting to get a wee bit old. On the other hand, I think that having BOTH the men's and women's tag teams fighting each other at the same time might smack of running out of ideas, so I really hope they don't do that.
ODB comes out with Eric Young. Gail Kim comes out without Madison Rayne. Kim makes fun of ODB's attire and appearance, and gets manhandled (womanhandled?) as a result. Kim fights back and takes control for a bit, then gets ODB into that octopus submission hold. ODB drops Kim to the match to break the hold, but then gets clotheslined while charging at Kim in the corner. Rayne comes out, distracting Kim. Eric Young pours some of the contents of ODB's ever-present flask down her throat while the referee isn't watching. ODB appears to gain new life and runs over Kim a few times, then pins her with a Lou Thesz press out of the corner. Kim kicks out and fights off ODB's attempt at slam to hit the Eat De Feet for the win.
Winner: Gail Kim (my score: 3/0)
Interview with AJ Styles regarding Kazarian and Daniels, AJ says he's done with that. He's going to put that behind him and focus on the WHC.
Video package of Sorenson's injury, talking with Sorenson's mom and Jesse's comments. Tenay comments that Sorenson has been released from the hospital and is now at home recovering. Hope he gets better soon, bad injury.
Match: AJ Styles v Robbie E (champ)
Who I want to win: AJ Styles
Who I think will win: AJ Styles
Yes, believe it! A TV championship match! Even though I hate Robbie E, I am willing to put up with him one more time to see him get squashed by AJ Styles. And I do think that will happen; AJ is an infinitely better wrestler and even as a heel he got more heat than Robbie E. Plus I think that AJ having the title will make it worth something again instead of the joke it's been for quite some time now. We might even get some actually good competition for it. Don't get me wrong, I like Eric Young, but his reign was mediocre at best.
AJ takes Robbie to school in the early part of the match. Robbie slides out of the ring, and then hides behind Rob Terry. AJ follows him, is blocked by Terry, and Robbie slides back into the ring, catching AJ as he follows him. Robbie mounts a minor offense, and then AJ gets hit by Terry from outside the ring. Robbie starts showboating and hits AJ with a drop from the ropes. AJ recovers and fights back, showing Robbie why he is the Phenomenal One. Terry jumps up at ringside when AJ goes for the Styles clash, distracting the referee and Styles, allowing Robbie to jump AJ from behind. After a few hits, AJ hits Robbie with the Pele kick and lays him out. He goes outside the ring ropes for a springboard splash, but is interrupted when Kazarian and Daniels come to ringside (dammit, I should have seen this coming) and Kazarian pulls him off, running him into the ring post. Daniels, for some reason, seems surprised by Kazarian's actions.
Winner: Robbie E by DQ (my score: 3/1)
Match: Bully Ray/Kurt Angle v James Storm/Jeff Hardy
Who I want to win: Storm/Hardy
Who I think will win: Storm/Hardy
Again, as I said earlier, I think Brandon will replace Hardy, and of course celebrities (almost) always get the win.
Ray and Angle come out to their intros. Ray again shows off his calves. (Note: I have bigger calves than Ray. But only because I'm a fat old guy whose legs swell.) Storm and Hardy come out. This is announced as a no-DQ match. As the announcer goes to introduce the teams, Ray grabs the mic and introduces himself instead.
Well, looks like I was wrong about Brandon replacing Hardy. But, since this is a no-DQ match, I think he'll get involved at some point to give Storm and Hardy the win. On the other hand, he could get involved and screw things up so that Ray/Angle win, but I think that's less likely.
Storm says that he has a beer-drinking friend who has some unfinished business with Bully Ray, and introduces Brandon Jacobs who comes out to the ring. Jacobs get in the ring, the gets out to the Hardy/Storm corner. Storm and Angle start things out fast and furious. Storm tags Hardy in, but Angle runs out of the ring. (Since this is no-DQ, why do they even bother tagging each other in? I know, I know it's scripted, but still …). Cut to commercial.
After the commercial, Hardy and Ray are in the ring, and Hardy hits some high-flying moves on Ray, then Ray grounds him and starts taking over. Hardy is sent to the Ray/Angle corner, and Angle pulls Hardy crotch-first into the ring post. Ray eventually tags Angle in, who takes over on Hardy, keeping him grounded for a while. Angle tags Ray back in, but Hardy fights him off and makes the tag to Storm. Hardy rushes Angle and knocks him off of the ring, then starts to pummel Ray for a while. Angle gets into the ring and suplexes Storm, but is hit hard by Hardy. Ray kicks Hardy in the face and lays him out, but then drops to one knee and hold his head, as if not fully recovered. He then yells to Angle to get the table.
As they go to bring it into the ring, Storm and Angle drop-kick it right into their faces, sending them reeling. Storm and Hardy set up the table but are then ambushed by a recovering Ray and Angle, who finish getting the table ready. Angle charges Storm but is hit with the superkick, but Ray beats him down. As he stands over Storm, Brandon climbs into the ring and surprises Ray when he turns around. Ray is startled but yells "You wanna fight me?" He then drops down into a three-point stance, and Brandon follows suit as Storm is recovering in the corner. Brandon and Ray face off, but Storm gets up and pulls Ray up and into an uppercut, sending him reeling backward to Brandon who lifts Ray up and smashes him through the table. Actually a fairly decent smash through the table for Jacobs, better than some I've seen. Storm covers Ray for the win.
Winner: Storm/Hardy (my score: 4/1)
Jacobs shows off his own calves as Ray and Angle remain laid out. Storm and Jacobs celebrate in the ring; I have no idea what happened to Hardy. Shot of someone knocking on Sting's door and just saying "Showtime." Cut to commercial.
Return from commercial, and Sting comes out to the ring. No ring wear, no makeup. Sting says he's done, there's too much for him to handle, too much slipping through his fingers, and he's been pushed over the edge by Bobby Rude. So he's done. Bobby Rude comes out with a golf clap and a fake tear in his eye. He apologizes for interrupting but he felt like he had to be there and listen to his words as Sting tells the world that Bobby Rude is the better man. Sting says that Bobby didn't win any war, didn't win any battles.
Sting takes off his sunglasses and tucks them into his T-shirt, and says that Bobby helped him out and woke him up. He then gets out some black makeup and starts rubbing it all over his face. He starts to get into the Insane Icon voice. He says he's not doing any part-way anymore, no mediocre, and makes a gagging sound. No more Mr. Nice Guy. He's going to put on his boots, put on his tights, put on his warpaint, and then at Victory Road he's going to kick the living crap out of Bobby Rude. Bobby looks nervous and turns to leave, then turns back with a low kick (like last week) that Sting catches before it hits him. Bobby begs him to stop, so Sting slowly lowers Bobby's foot to the ground and appears to calm down … before hitting Bobby with a low blow of his own, to a massive pop by the crowd. In a munchkin voice, Sting tells Bobby to "Follow the yellow brick road … follow the yellow brick road to Victory Road!"
Overall, not the greatest TNA. Nothing really exciting happened. I did not for a minute believe that Sting was "done" with wrestling or TNA or anything like that. During the last match, the announcers said that AJ Styles was asking for a gauntlet match next week facing both Kazarian and Christopher Daniels, which has the potential to be interesting. Hopefully, it will finish off this feud and AJ can go back and humiliate Robbie E (again).
