Hibbert: Center of attention
Pacers are content to run their offense through improving 7-2 big man
Written by Mike Wells
Passing out of the post was one of the things the Indiana Pacers were worried about with Roy Hibbert in the preseason.
Hibbert, the up-and-coming third-year center, had a tendency to hold the ball without looking for cutters as he made his move to the basket.
He's now showing signs of better reading the defense.
The 7-2 Hibbert led the team in assists the past two games. He had 11 assists and only three turnovers in the two Pacers victories.
"When I'm in the post, (assistant coach) Vitaly (Potapenko) tells me to take my time, see how the defense is playing and find the open man," Hibbert said. "So I'm going to let the defense come to me and then I'll find the open guy or make a move to the basket."
Coach Jim O'Brien wants his offense to go through Hibbert in the post, but he also plans to run the passing game, which involves a lot of moving and cutting to the basket.
It's critical that Hibbert gets the ball to teammates cutting to the basket or on the perimeter.
He threw two nice passes to Mike Dunleavy on cuts to the basket and made Philadelphia guard Jrue Holiday pay for leaving Darren Collison when he found the point guard for an easy layup in Saturday's victory.
"I've repeatedly said we're going to play through Roy and that's because he's a unique big man," O'Brien said. "He's effective in the low post. He can spot up and shoot and he's also a terrific passer and willing passer. Our guys know that.
"When you have a big guy who is going to have his hands on the ball a lot, you know if your guy turns his head, cut to the basket and he'll get you the basketball. That's a great weapon."
O'Brien hasn't needed to limit Hibbert's minutes because of conditioning or foul trouble.
Hibbert has played at least 33 minutes in each of the first three games.
"I think Roy is playing well," O'Brien said. "What doesn't show up in the stat sheet is the number of shots he's adjusting. I think he's doing a solid job defensively. I would like to see him become a dominating rebounder. Hopefully that will come in the future."
Gang rebounding
Led by Hibbert's 13 rebounds, the Pacers had four players with at least seven against Philadelphia.
Dunleavy and Josh McRoberts had nine rebounds each and Tyler Hansbrough had seven.
The Pacers said it will take gang rebounding if they expect to succeed in that area.
The Pacers have four players -- Hibbert, Dunleavy, Hansbrough and McRoberts -- averaging at least five rebounds a game. Danny Granger's 4.3 average is expected to increase as the season goes on.
"I was able to get a few more rebounds because Troy Murphy wasn't here," Dunleavy joked.
The Pacers scored at least 40 points in the paint for the first time this season when they had 46 on Saturday. . . . The Pacers and 76ers meet again Wednesday in Philadelphia. The Pacers are 12-5 in their past 17 games against the 76ers.

Friday's Market Review
Friday's regular session rebound went a long way toward dulling the pain of frightened dip buyers, but those buyers were still forced to deal with a loss on the week. Considering that the net decline of the week was a whopping three handles, my inclination is to poke fun at those panicked over a bit of selling. But taking into account the volume that accompanied the decline, the apparent stabilization in U.S. Treasuries and yen futures and the strength in classically defensive sectors (utilities, tobacco and consumer durables), I think it's fairly reasonable for those that had been unmitigated bulls over the past two months to question their path going forward....432 more words left in this article.

The Committee for the publication of the Memorial Book of the community of Podhajce and its region in Israel.
Tel Aviv, December 1965.
Dear esteemed friend:
Unfortunately, many of the natives of our town have not to this date responded to our first call, that we sent out to everybody two months ago. Nobody has sent any material or photographs. Nobody has sent any money, or has answered the questions about their murdered friends and acquaintances.
Therefore, we turn to you with request number two, and beg you to answer our questions which we have sent to you in our first call as soon as possible
[Page 291]
and also to send as much as possible for the needs to the address of Mr. Menahcem Ettinger, Buki Ben Yagli 11, Tel Aviv.
In general, we request that all of our friends become more active in the matter of the Yizkor Book, the importance of which we all recognize.
We take this opportunity to present to you a brief accounting of our activities to date.
- We have been in touch with Dr. Kermish of Jerusalem, who serves as the secretary of Yad Vashem. (He had relatives in Podhajce). And he has taken it upon himself to edit the material of the Yizkor Book, and help us in general with the publication of the book.
- We have increased and improved the list of our natives, and their addresses.
- We have succeeded in obtaining several photographs, narratives and facts about Jewish life in Podhajce.
- We have gotten in contact with people who come from Podhajce, as well as with Podhajce natives in America.
- We have obtained exact details from Yad Vashem about the events in Podhjace during the Holocaust.
- We have collected some money, primarily from the members of the book committee and also from several natives whom we canvassed in person.
With the passage of time, we have held several meetings with the members of the book committee in Tel Aviv and in Jerusalem. At the last meeting, we selected a broader book committee, composed of the following people: Dr. Weichert, Dr. Pomerantz, Dr. Marbach, Dr. Weinless, Dr. Heller, Dr. Weiss, Dr. Baruch Milch, Mr. Weisman, Mrs. Klara Stoop, Shragel Hessel, Nathan Brecher, Mordechai Merker, Yehuda Grussgot, Yehoshua Stamler, Menachem Ettinger, Bunio Shotten, Bunio Brandwein, Aharon Shourz, Shlomo Walden, Yitzchak Walden-Breines, Tzvi Goralnik, Mrs. Henia Shourz (Fuchs), Mordechai Fedder, and others.
We once again request you to send us photographs and material in Hebrew, Yiddish or other languages, which we will translate and edit.
We request that each of our members contribute to this endeavor according to your means. The money should be sent to the address of Mr. Menachem Ettinger. (We note that some of our members have contributed 100 Israeli Lira.)
We wish to stress that the expenses to create the Yizkor Book are very large, and to this time, we have not received any financial assistance from America.
With friendly regards
In the name of the committee
Dr. B. Milch M. Ettinger
The Committee for the Publication of the Yizkor Book
By the organization of Natives of Podhajce and its Region
December 28, 1966
Dear Member!
We are pleased to inform you that in the last year, every effort has been made by the committee to expedite the publication of the Memorial Book of the Community of Podhajce and Region. We hereby present to you a brief accounting of the recent activities.
- We have strengthened the connections with the Yad Vashem institute, and especially with Dr. Kermish, one of the heads of Yad Vashem in the Land (who is also a native of our region, and has taken great interest in our activities).
The following are participating with us in this activity: Dr. Weichert, Professor Weiss from the United States, the writer G. Kressel, Dr. Pomerantz, and Dr. Margolies.
At one of the meetings in Jerusalem at the home of Professor Wish, the following people participated: Dr. Kermish, Dr. Milch, Dr. Pomerantz, Mr. Menachem Ettinger, and Mrs. Walden. At that meeting, many important decisions were made regarding the publication of the book.
- An additional meeting took place at the home of Mr. Ettinger, in which the following people participated: Professor Weiss, Dr. Kermish, Dr. Milch and other members of the committee. A final decision was made to commit a significant sum of money, which would be given to Dr Kermish in order to take the first steps in the publication of the book. Similarly, all of the material that has been collected to date by Dr. Milch was given by him to Dr. Kermish for classification and editing.
We must point out the warm feelings that have been expressed by Professor Weiss regarding the activities and dedication of Dr. Milch to the holy task of the publication of the book. Professor Weiss has promised to also work personally and to solicit support in the United States for the idea of the publication of the book.
- Natives of Podhajce and the region! We are only at the beginning of the journey, and its success depends solely on you. In the accompanying list, we present you the detailed financial accounting of the sums that have been collected to this date. This sum is only a portion of the funds that are necessary to realize the goal. Therefore, we turn to you with the call: Please join us in this holy task that is close to your hearts, in order to perpetuate the memory of your parents, friends, and all the martyrs of our city who perished during the era of the Holocaust
[Page 292]
Similarly, you must make efforts to help us gather the material for the book, and to write in any language about various topics connected with the past of our city. The material will be edited by experts, who will translate it and render it fit for publication. The topics about which you should write include: Zionism in our city, youth movements, rabbis, people and personalities, synagogues, etc.
We have enclosed a personal questionnaire which you are asked to fill out and return to the address of Dr. Milch, Ahad Haam Street 14, Haifa.
Please send donations in cash and pledges to Mr. Menachem Ettinger, Tel Aviv, Buki Ben Yagli Street 11.
With Great Honor,
In the name of the committee.
Dr. Milch M. Ettinger
The Organization of Natives of Podhajce and the Region in Israel
Sivan 4727 June 1967
(Includes an invitation to the memorial ceremony.)
With great satisfaction we hereby inform you that the preparation efforts for the publication of the Yizkor Book for our destroyed community is progressing.
Much material has been received from the Land and the Diaspora, including pictures and photographs. We can determine that the book will include four sections:
a. A Historical section about Podhajce from the beginning of its existence and about its Jewish community.
b. Surveys and descriptions about institutions, personalities, schools, movements, communal personalities and well-known families (including photographs).
c. A section on the Holocaust era, according to stories and testimonies from survivors of our city.
d. A memorial section, which will include the names of our dear ones and all the members of our city who were murdered by the Nazi criminals and their accomplices.
At the end of this section, everyone will be able to publish a photograph of their relatives who perished along with words of memorial (for a special fee).
We turn to all members who have not yet returned to us their questionnaires which were sent to you with the urgent request to return them to us promptly and to include any material that you have in your hands. You must hurry to send the material, for we will be unable to receive further material after we give it over to the printer. Similarly, we ask our members to give us their generous donations, so that we can pay the significant expenses that are tied in with the publication of the book.
With honor and friendly greetings:
The Organization committee
Mordechai Feder of blessed memory
A native of Zlotnik. A member of the organization committee in Israel. He made aliya in 1933. He volunteered for the brigade, served in the Israel Defense Forces at the rank of a captain during the War of Independence and the Sinai Campaign. He participated in the efforts for the publication of the Yizkor Book and composed an elegy for the victims of the Holocaust in Podhajce and its environs (see page 176). He died in Tel Aviv in 1969
The Organization of Natives of Podhajce and Region in Israel
Tel Aviv, November 11, 1968
To all natives of Podhajce and its region, much peace.
Since the time of the annual memorial for the martyrs of our city is approaching, and we once again cannot fulfill our promise of publishing the Yizkor Book on time, we have decided to turn to you once again and request your help so that we can bring the matter to a conclusion.
To this date, we have gathered approximately 90% of the material and greatly edited it. However, in order to bring it to its conclusion, we are short a sum of close to 10,000 Israeli Lira. Therefore we turn to you with a request to donate significant sums to this need, for it would be unfortunate for us if all the material that was gathered, and the work that was invested to this date would go down the drain.
Anyone interested in having photographs of their family members published in the book must pay us a special fee for us (the price of every plate is 20 Israeli Lira). Everyone who has additional material is requested to send it to us at the address of Dr. B. Milch, Ahad Haam 14, Haifa. Similarly, we request that all those members who have not yet returned to use the questionnaire with names of their relatives who perished to return it to us promptly.
Member! Even if you already donated, please repeat your donation and send it to us promptly, so that we can conclude our work.
With friendly and faithful greetings
The Committee

The Yizkor Book Committee in Israel
Tel Aviv
July 26, 1969
Beloved natives and friends
Of the Podhajce Relief in America!
We thank you very much for the heartfelt greeting and report that you sent us through the esteemed member Isser Roller, and especially for the generous sum of 900 dollars that he brought as a contribution from the American committee in order to publish the Yizkor Book. Isser Roller added his own check of 100 dollars to the aforementioned sum despite the fact that he had already given 100 dollars in his own time. Therefore, we must thank him heartily.
The support of the American Relief demonstrates that you appreciate the importance of our work and the holy duty to perpetuate our destroyed town. We are certain that the following people played a great role in this: the member Mitzio Frisch, the vice president and secretary Paul Klein, our diligent assistance Isser Roller and his wife Chanale, Rabbi Wolf Feuerstein, and probably others of whom we do not know. We extend to all of them our heartfelt thank you for their assistance.
The member Isser Roller is able to relay to you how far we have come in our work. We are still missing many names from the list of those who perished, as well as a bit of material for the book. We are also still short some money for our further activities. In the past while, everything has become more expensive, and furthermore, we wish to publish a part of the book in English, which will increase the expenses. We hope that the American Relief will be able to assist us further, for there are still many of our natives who have not contributed anything, or have contributed insufficient amounts for this purpose. The member Isser Roller has told us that he would help collect the needed sums, and he will certainly do this.
We are sending you a list of all who have contributed to the book to date, from which you can see that our townsfolk in Israel have also given fine sums. However we are still 20,000 Pounds short of the sum that is needed to publish the book.
We send you our best wishes, and await your prompt reply.
In the name of the book committee
Dr. B. Milch A. Ettinger
With the conclusion of the publication of the memorial book, we see it as our duty to thank all of our townsfolk in the Land and in the Diaspora who have helped financially to the publication of the memorial book.
The general income to the date of December 31, 1972 is the sum of 18,980 Israeli Pounds. Of these, 3,780 Israel Pounds (900 dollars) were donated by the Landsmanschaft of natives of Podhajce and the region in the United States. The remaining amount, totaling 15,200 Israeli Pounds, was received from various members in Israel, the United States, and France.
The following is the list of our members and natives of our town who have participated financially in the publication of the book.

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Emirates, one of the world's fastest growing airlines, announced on Monday that it is increasing its commitment to Japan with the launch of daily, non-stop flights between Dubai and Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport) on 3rd June 2013.
Operated by a three-class Boeing 777-200LR, EK312 will depart Dubai at 0935hrs and arrive at Haneda Airport at 0001hrs the following day. The return flight, EK313 will depart at 0130hrs and arrive at Dubai International Airport at 0705hrs.
"As Emirates' third gateway in Japan, the Dubai to Haneda route will help to build on the vibrant relationship between the United Arab Emirates and Japan, in terms of trade and increasing the opportunities for business and tourism," said Thierry Antinori, Emirates Executive Vice President, Passenger Sales Worldwide.
"Emirates has been operating to Japan since 2002 when we introduced non-stop flights to Osaka; our commitment continued when we launched flights to Narita International Airport in 2010. We are confident that the demand in terms of both passengers and cargo is strong enough to warrant Emirates operating non-stop, daily flights to both of Tokyo's airports, offering our passengers more flexibility on the route to Dubai and onwards to over 70 destinations in the Indian Ocean, Middle East, Africa and Europe," added Mr Antinori.
Emirates' longstanding partnership with Japan Airlines will be expanded to include a code share on the new Dubai-Haneda-Dubai services. The flights will be identified with the Emirates 'EK' code as well as with Japan Airlines 'JL' code.
With the new daily flight to Haneda, Emirates SkyCargo is able to provide an additional 210 tonnes of cargo capacity per week, further supporting Japanese exports of mechanical components, electronic goods and automobile parts, and its imports of gas and oil products. Dubai is an important hub for the re-export of Japanese manufactured products to the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia.
Passengers will enjoy unrivalled comfort and amenities on board Emirates' Boeing 777-200LR which is equipped with eight luxurious private suites in First Class, 42 of its latest lie-flat seats in Business Class, and generous space for 216 passengers in Economy Class, along with gourmet cuisine in all cabins which has been tailored to Japanese passengers, served by Emirates' multinational cabin crew.
The aircraft also features ice, Emirates' award-winning inflight entertainment system which offers over 1,400 channels of movies, TV and game entertainment on demand, which includes 40 Japanese channels
With a fleet of 196 aircraft, Emirates now flies to 128 destinations, having launched services to 15 destinations in 2012, Warsaw and Algiers are set to join the network this year on 6th February and 1st March respectively.

The 30 June - 15 July workshop is being organized in cooperation with the Dublin Port Company (DPC), with financial support from Irish Aid. This is the second in a series of seminars to train port officials from English-speaking developing countries on port management and to prepare them for national replication of the UNCTAD Port Training Programme in beneficiary countries.
The workshop will cover modules 5-8 of the port-management course, continuing from the previous workshop, which covered modules 1-4 and was held in Dublin last year. Modules 5-8 include methods and tools of modern management in ports; economic and commercial management; administrative and legal management; and technical management and development of human resources.
Port communities in developing countries can foster economic development by providing efficient and competitive services to boost local and regional trade. The increasingly sophisticated nature of global port operations makes training essential. Moreover, international shipping and port communities need actively to address climate change and to take into account the broader implications of climate change for maritime transport. The UNCTAD programme helps port communities in developing countries to strengthen employees' skills so that ports can keep up with the competition and meet new challenges.
To promote the development of human resources and skills in the maritime sector, the Human Resources Development Section of UNCTAD's Division on Technology and Logistics (DTL), with the assistance of the Transport Section and the Trade Logistic Branch, has been implementing the TrainForTrade "Port Training Programme" since 1996. To date, the programme has trained over 1,000 port operators from 15 developing countries.
The upcoming workshop is a follow up to the Dublin Declaration of June 2007 -- an agreement adopted by port representatives of English-speaking African and Asian countries. Under the Declaration, missions have been organized by UNCTAD and the Dublin Port Company to assess the needs for development, training, and capacity building of the signature countries.

All right, you knew it was coming.
I even promise that I'll be as "fair and balanced" as Fox News.
This is the Super Bowl of Super Bowls, and who better to open for Springsteen (a man who usually needs no warmup act to preceed him) than the Steelers?
The theme of this Super Bowl is "an irresistable force [Kurt Warner and his trio of WRs] hits an unmovable object [the Steelers Defense]."
If this game were to be played in Pittsburgh, in January, I think we know who would leave the field battered and bruised. But it is not. It is Tampa, and February. Even though the high temperature was 55 degrees last week when I was at Clearwater Beach (not a good way to get a suntan), I understand it has warmed back up.
This matchup will be strength on strength. How the Steelers offense does against the Cardinals defense likely won't make any difference (with one caveat, below), and special teams likely won't make any difference. If Warner & Company can move the ball and strike quickly, this game will be competitive and the Cardinals can win. If they can't, I'm not sure the game will even be competitive.
Caveat: If Big Ben turns back into Turnover Ben, and gives the Cardinals the the same type of field position that he gave Manning, it could be a real problem for the Steelers defense. However, Ben only has one interception in the past three games, and with the exception of the Titans game in Week #16 has really protected the ball well over the past two months.
Now to the articles:
From Monday's Tribune:
Five Underhyped Super Bowl Stories
David Haugh
(I love the "bricks used to build Heinz Field are softer than Taylor's hands line... its so true.)Fitzgerald has 419 receiving yards in the playoffs and, more than any other player in the Super Bowl, has the ability to dominate the game. Though Taylor will have help from a blitzing pass rush and safeties over the top, the cornerback typically assigned to the opponent's top receiver must believe he has to be the best player on the NFL's best defense. If Taylor can be, it could create quite the Super Bowl legend for a fourth-round draft pick out of Louisiana-Lafayette. It wouldn't be the first time Taylor has shut down an elite receiver. In back-to-back wins this season, he limited Randy Moss (45) and Terrell Owens (32) to fewer than 100 yards combined. Bears cornerback Charles Tillmans's college teammate plays a similarly physical style. People in Pittsburgh will tell you there are bricks used to build Heinz Field softer than Taylor's hands, but knocking down passes would suffice against the Cardinals.
Born to not lose: Grown-up Big Ben leads Steelers
Alan Robinson, AP
Much has been made about Ben's new, big contract. It is very out of character for the Steelers to believe in paying big money to a QB. The sentiment throughout Steelers Nation is that Ben is proving to be worth the money. Its not gaudy passing stats that will ever impress Steelers Nation. On the other hand, what Ben did late in the regular season in Baltimore against the Ravens defense, marching 92 yards in 12 plays in just under three minutes for the game winning score.I hate to lose. I hate being second, Roethlisberger said. When it comes down to it, I want the ball in my hands and I want to win the game.
And which NFL quarterback won the most games by age 26? Brady? Dan Marino? John Elway? Joe Montana? No, Roethlisberger, with 51. In a few days, he could join only Brady by winning a second Super Bowl before he turns 27.
Consider this, too: Roethlisberger has started during each of his five NFL seasons. Terry Bradshaw, against whom all Steelers quarterbacks are measured, didnt become an unquestioned starter until midway through his fifth season, in 1974. Before then, Bradshaw endured several awful seasons, benchings for Terry Hanratty and Joe Gilliam, while he did a lot of growing up.
So much has happened to Roethlisberger during those five seasons: Going 13-0 as a rookie before losing in the AFC title game; winning the Super Bowl in his second season; the motorcycle crash that seriously injured him in 2006; the down season that followed; a comeback year (32 touchdowns, 11 interceptions) under a new coach in 2007; another Super Bowl appearance this season, despite a falloff in production (17 touchdowns, 15 interceptions).
I have been through a lot, Roethlisberger said. Its rewarding to get here, it would be more rewarding to win it. A lot of people find ways to doubt you and hate you and love you, and its fun to prove people wrong.
His reckless, playground style creates some of the punishment he absorbs. He doesnt believe any play is irretrievably broken, so he hangs onto the ball longer than many quarterbacks.
Or as Nate Washington said after the AFC Title game,
Big Ben's scrambles produce one key play after another
Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Ben may not be the best QB in the NFL. But I don't think you can name a better football player at the QB position. Maybe Brady, but I'm not certain I've seen Brady throw his body into a block on a reverse like Ben does, or make an outstanding open field tackle when he has to."I tell people all the time, he's a good quarterback but he's one heck of a football player," receiver Nate Washington said yesterday after a team meeting. "There's a difference in those two. That's what Ben does, he prides himself on making plays."
Moving on, my all-time favorite player, who will be elected to the Hall of Fame this week, has a very good analysis of the strength-on-strength aspect of the game. And it scares me.
Rod Woodson sees trouble ahead for the Steelers; praises Cardinals' passing
Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
So the Steelers need Harrison, Woodley, and Timmons to put a lot of pressure on the QBs. Nobody else has been successful at pressuring Warner this season, but nobody else has the Steelers' front seven, either. Again, strength on strength."I think it's going to be a tough task in the secondary for the Steelers just to match up on a play-by-play basis and shut those receivers down," Woodson said yesterday. "To me, this is the toughest draw the Steelers had in the NFC.
"Playing against Philly, I think they could out-tough the Eagles. Playing against the Arizona Cardinals against spread-out football, who can find all their receivers? And Kurt Warner's doing an outstanding job. I think it's a tough draw for them."
"If the Steelers are going to win this football game, the secondary -- the back end -- and the linebackers in coverage have to play the best they played all season long," Woodson predicted. "And if they can do that, they can win the football game. But if they have a bad day, it's over for the Steelers."
The Steelers often had trouble with spread offenses in the early part of this decade, but they've tightened up since Dick LeBeau's return as coordinator in 2004.
"You have to think ... a little advantage has to go to the Cardinals just for the fact they can spread you out, they can throw the football," Woodson said. "I can see them going to their two-minute [strategy] in their first series. What that does, you don't have the whole blitz package for Dick LeBeau at hand because you can't get into all that, the checks."
Speaking of Harrison...
Harrison makes his statements on field
Barry Wilner, AP
And his partner in crime, Woodley:His development was slow through the next two seasons, held back in part because the Steelers had a Pro Bowler at outside linebacker in Joey Porter.
But the Steelers allowed Porter to leave for Miami as a high-priced free agent in 2007, and Harrison efficiently moved into the starting spot.
Pittsburgh was so impressed by Harrisons improvement that it already had extended his contract through 2009 even though he was not a starter.
I figured the last time I got cut, that if I didnt get picked up, that it would probably be over for me, Harrison said. Fortunately for me, Clark broke his hand and the Steelers called me back and here we are now.
At the Super Bowl, and without the kind of attention the leagues top defensive performer should command.
Toward the end of the Steelers one-hour availability, as Harrison counted down the minutes, along came a camera crew and a hulking, sweating man holding a microphone.
Sapp, Harrison said, You got a question for me?
Warren Sapp, the 1999 defensive player of the year, did, indeed. But first, Harrison played the reporters role.
Hey, Sapp, how come you never had tough times and got drafted first round? Harrison asked, a smile barely crossing his lips.
Because I was a better player than you, Sapp said, quickly adding, In college.
Now, were both defensive players of the year, Sapp said.
Both own Super Bowl rings, too. But Sapp was a regular for the Buccaneers when they won in 2003. Harrison was a backup in 2006 and was involved in three tackles on special teams.
So Harrison admits he has a little more catching up to do with Sapp, beginning Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
It means a little bit more to me because I am a starter instead of playing just on special teams, he said. I have matured. I handle situations a lot differently now than I would back then. I have gotten better since then, too. I have learned the game and taken time to study the game.
I didnt know if I had it in me to play this well, but it has all come out.
OLB Woodley becomes disruptive force
Ron Musselman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
That's true, Troy. But come on, he lists the Steelers all-time great LBs and leaves out the two best: Jack Lambert and Gregg Lloyd?? Come on."You think of some of the great linebackers they've had here, names like Kevin Greene, Levon Kirkland, Jack Ham, Jason Gildon, Joey Porter, and you want to be a part of that group," Woodley said. "You want people talking about you like that when you're done playing football."
Woodley's popularity skyrocketed when he was featured on the cover of the Dec. 22 Sports Illustrated, glaring down at Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco after yet another sack.
"[LaMarr] has played at a high level," Tomlin said. "The thing that we need from him is consistent pressure. I think that he provides that."
Woodley, who dreamed of being a WWF wrestler or an NBA player as a youngster, was the Steelers' sixth-leading tackler in the regular season with 78 stops. He also tied for the NFL lead with four fumble recoveries.
"He's played great for us this year," defensive end Brett Keisel said. "To only be a second-year pro and make the type of plays he makes and do the things he's asked to do is pretty amazing."
Woodley's pass-rushing skills have drawn the most attention. He has 21 1/2 sacks since joining the Steelers and making the successful transition to outside linebacker in their 3-4 defense.
At Michigan, he was primarily a defensive end in a 4-3 alignment.
"It's always hard to draft a college defensive end and turn them into a pass-rushing linebacker," Polamalu said. "But, obviously, LaMarr's done a great job with it.
"This defense is built for our linebackers to have a lot of success, and he's had a lot of it so far in a short period of time."
And lastly, if you aren't familiar with the story Aaron Smith and his son Elijah's battle with Leukemia this season (don't confuse Aaron with loudmouth Anthony Smith, who has been "inactive" for both playoff games and Tomlin has probably stuffed a sock in his mouth), you should read this article.
Football becomes nice distraction for Smith
By Jason Cole, Yahoo! Sports
But don't underestimate Smith's importance to the team. When he got hurt (torn bicep muscle) last season, that was far worse than Willie Parker's broken foot.For three hours and change every week, Aaron Smith can escape.
He can leave behind the image of long needles being stuck in his 5-year-old son Elijah as doctors check his bone marrow, measuring the effects of the medicine the little boy is taking to fight leukemia. Smith can escape from having to explain to his son that, despite the painful evidence to the contrary, the doctors are trying to help, not hurt.
For those few, precious hours, Smith can forget about such scary words as oncologist and chemotherapy and terms like white-cell count, the stuff most people hope they never have to deal with or at least get a chance to live a full life before hearing.
Sure, Smith gets to spend much of that time in the midst of violent collisions with other men weighing 300 pounds men who would like nothing more than to inflict the kind of pain that would cause their opponent to quit.
But when you compare that to the pain and fear inspired by a doctor asking you, What do you know about leukemia? or the image of your little boy bloated by steroids as he goes through chemo, double-team blocks dont measure up.
Same article/ links as above...
Few people in football understand what Smith means to the Steelers. He is a lynchpin of the teams 3-4 defense, particularly against the run.
In 2007, after Smith was placed on injured reserve with three games remaining, the Steelers went into a tailspin. They gave up 224 yards rushing at home to Jacksonville in the first game without Smith; they proceeded to lose three of their final four, allowing at least 135 yards rushing in each of the losses. That included a first-round playoff loss to Jacksonville at home.
Hes the focal point of our run defense, no question, nose tackle Chris Hoke said.
This is the best way I can say it, said defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau. Ive been here five years since I came back, and I can count on one hand how many times Ive seen Aaron Smith blocked. He never gets blocked, and theres no way you can overstate that value to any defense. He gets his job done on a consistent basis.
OK, but that sounds like hyperbole.
You would say that, but Im telling you, LeBeau said. Thats why I can never understand why he doesnt go to the Pro Bowl every year. He doesnt get quite as many sacks as the defensive ends in a 4-3 scheme, but I think our guys should be in competition with the defensive tackles.
To me, Aaron Smith is a shoo-in for the Pro Bowl.
Said LeBeau: I could never overstate my admiration for him. He has been unbelievable every day, to be with your son and to deal with this. Hes a great husband, a great father, a great family man, and hes been a great leader for our defense.

Authorities ID woman found dead in NW Mo. park
Tue, 23 Apr 2013 08:00:00 GMT —
A northwest Missouri sheriff says the death of a woman whose body was found in a state park does not appear suspicious.
The Highway Patrol on Monday identified the woman as 53-year-old Janette Riffle-Hartley, of Cameron. The St. Joseph News-Press reports a maintenance worker found her body Friday near the lake in Wallace State Park, about seven miles south of Cameron.
The Patrol says final results of an autopsy conducted Saturday won't be released for three weeks.
But Clinton County Sheriff Porter Henson told the newspaper the death did not appear suspicious. Preliminary autopsy results indicated that Riffle-Hartley died of exposure to the elements.

Butler wins 'pen spot; Aardsma, five others cut
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- In the last 10 days, the Cardinals fiddled with Keith Butler's fastball mechanics, but after Friday night's rainout of the scheduled Cardinals-Memphis Redbirds exhibition game, Butler was told he had earned the final spot in the St. Louis bullpen.
The Cardinals optioned Jorge Rondon, who had pitched 9 1/3 scoreless innings this spring, to Triple-A Memphis, and assigned to Memphis pitchers Scott McGregor and veteran David Aardsma, signed to a Minor League deal earlier this week. Butler pitched in 16 games with the Cardinals last year (0-0, 4.05 ERA), and manager Mike Matheny said "that definitely played into it."
Matheny said Butler is "an arm when we need it, available to go multiple innings, which helps, and can get lefties out with his slider and changeup."
Butler, a 24th-round Draft pick in 2009, had a couple of rough outings in the spring. Ten days ago, he was approached about lowering his arm slot. He gave up one run in his last three outings, and on Thursday came in to strike out Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton in the Cardinals' Grapefruit League finale.
"That was a tough at-bat to come in, but he's shown some pretty good stuff after [the change] and has better command of the strike zone, which is a plus for him,"
Butler said when the suggestion was made, "they told me we'd try it in a bullpen and then get me in a game. I thought that was going to be it for my chances for making this team, but I started keeping the ball low in the strike zone right away."
The other jolt came as he arrived early for work this week to find Aardsma, who was signed after being cut by the Cleveland Indians. "I thought 'Whoa,' and you think about that," Butler said. "But all I could do is not think about it and keep working."
Aardsma, who gave up just two earned runs in six outings with the Tribe, was hit for three runs by the Marlins Thursday, and knew that a detour to Memphis was a real possibility.
"I knew that going in, but I also know this is a good opportunity if I just keep pitching like I was pitching," said the 32-year-old, who posted a 4.31 ERA in 43 appearances with the Mets last season.
"I know David can pitch better than that, and this gives him the time to work with the Memphis team to show that," said Matheny, who caught Aardsma when both were with the Giants.
Also sent down to Memphis were outfielder Stephen Piscotty, who hit .342 in the the spring, infielder Scott Moore and catcher Ed Easley. The Cardinals left Memphis for Cincinnati with 26 players, including last year's starting shortstop Pete Kozma, believed to be the odd man out with the offseason acquisitions of Jhonny Peralta and Mark Ellis.
"Ellis' knee still doesn't feel quite right, so we're going to make that call after Sunday's workout [in Cincinnati]," Matheny said. "He's had all the looks [from doctors], and what he needs is treatment and trying to get where it feels right and doesn't get in his way from doing what he needs to do."

Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson`s disease and memory loss
My husband was diagnosed with Parkinsons last year. This week I noticed that he is having trouble recalling things and places that he should know. Does Parkinsons effect the memory?
There are a lot of factors that may affect one's memory function. Parkinson's disease may cause cognitive decline, and in fact, this is seen in a significant portion of PD patients after having the disease for many years. Even early in PD, slowness of mental processing can occur, making it difficult to answer questions quickly or difficult to mental "multi-task".
However, it is unusual to see significant memory and cognitive disturbance very early in the disease and when that happens, other issues need to be considered. These include: the co-existence of Alzheimer's disease, other Parkinsonian syndromes such as Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson's Disease with Dementia. Additional considerations include metabolic problems that may cause memory disturbance. Lastly, mood disturbance, especially depression, may cause features of memory problems.
It is important that any patient exhibiting memory disturbance be thoroughly examined by a neurologist.

Hawthorne will be able to hold onto its most prominent business for at least the next decade under a new deal with Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
SpaceX agreed to stay in its 1-million-square-foot headquarters building through 2022 as long as the city reduces certain taxes on the business as promised.
The deal includes a $260,000 cap on annual business license fees, which are calculated based on gross receipts - meaning that the more revenue SpaceX makes, the more fees it would have to pay. This agreement will allow SpaceX to maintain a flat tax rate as it gets larger.
Additionally, if SpaceX chooses to expand its facilities in the city, fees for planning and building will be dramatically reduced by 75 percent of what is normally charged. City officials, aware that officials in Florida and Texas were trying to woo the emerging rocket company, enthusiastically backed the deal in a unanimous City Council vote last week.
"When they mention SpaceX in the future, they're also going to mention Hawthorne," Mayor Danny Juarez said. "We're very, very proud of that."
PayPal founder Elon Musk used his fortune to start SpaceX in 2002. The young company relocated from several offices in El Segundo and Los Angeles to one giant warehouse near Hawthorne Municipal Airport in 2008. It has expanded quickly, with this year being the most fruitful of all, thanks to a $440 million NASA contract to design and develop the near future of U.S. human spaceflight. The contract includes 12 cargo missions to the International Space Station. On Sunday, SpaceX's Dragon space capsule successfully completed the first of those missions, returning to Earth with 1,673 pounds of cargo after having delivered 882 pounds of supplies.The company has about 2,000 employees and is in the process of hiring hundreds more. Hawthorne officials expect to receive a total of about $600,000 annually in fees from the business once its current expansion is complete. The city currently receives about $475,000 a year from gross receipts, property taxes, commercial utility taxes and employee sales taxes.
"SpaceX is in a rapid growth mode," said Katherine Nelson, SpaceX's vice president of marketing and communications. "These incentives are just ensuring we're in a position to continue to grow. We are always looking for the best opportunities for our business and for our growth, so we're pleased we were able to come to an agreement with Hawthorne and we can keep our headquarters here."
In addition to reduced fees, the company's economic development agreement with Hawthorne includes a "corporate citizenship" clause that allows the city to use the SpaceX logo for its own branding, and encourages the company to engage with schools and community events.
Association with a company that is a leader in privatizing space travel is such a hot commodity that officials in Florida and Texas have offered millions of dollars in incentive packages to lure SpaceX to build its planned rocket-launching facility in their state. Councilwoman Olivia Valentine called the company an inspiration.
"They are going to bring to us not only a wonderful company, but they've made a real commitment to maintain their place of business in the city, and to provide an inspiration to our schoolchildren," Valentine said. "I think the city is going to benefit greatly from having them here, and I look forward to a long association with them."

From a portable device that calculates your ultraviolet exposure to a "recycling jukebox" that plays a song when you recycle a can, the University of Colorado at Boulder's Engineering Design Expo on Saturday, Dec. 4, will feature a variety of innovations and inventions to delight the community.
More than 80 student projects will be demonstrated at the end-of-semester event. The Expo is free and open to the public from noon to 3:30 p.m. at the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory, located on the corner of Regent Drive and Colorado Avenue.
The semiannual demonstration of engineering projects will showcase the work of about 400 undergraduate students. Most of the students are enrolled in the popular First-Year Engineering Projects course, which allows students to practice real-world engineering design from the start of their college experience.
Working in teams throughout the fall semester to design solutions to an array of challenges, engineering students have developed various interactive video games that promote exercise, interactive 3-D puzzles for children with lights and sounds, water disinfection systems, assistive technology for people with disabilities, and much more.
Volunteers from industry, government and the community will serve as judges, rating each project on its originality, craftsmanship, as well as the students' understanding of engineering principles, presentation and effectiveness.

This is what it did for Pieter Maes, a dairy farmer from Melsele, Belgium. Before using the E=P+S program, Pieter noticed that his cows were underperforming and they were not achieving the fertility levels he had hoped they'd reach.
However, after implementing the E=P+S program, he kindly sent us this glowing testimonial: "Alltech has helped me to dramatically improve the health condition and fertility of my heifers, as they are now coming into heat better and earlier. After introducing Alltech's Mineral Management program, my cows have reduced incidence of ketosis and their hooves are as hard as a rock. Additionally, Alltech's Protein Programme has strongly reduced my feed costs and improved my feed efficiency.'
Pieter's improvements have helped him achieve outstanding efficiency that was recently recognized by the Milk Control Centre of Flanders, The Centre awarded him a certificate for "outstanding milk quality," and he now holds their title of "Super Milker."
Congratulations Pieter, we wish you continued success on your farm!
Pieter has improved his profitability in an enhanced sustainable fashion by focusing on efficiency with the Alltech E=P+S programme. Why don't you give it a try?

Club set for charity fundraiser
11:00am Saturday 22nd March 2014
By Andrew Simpson
11:00am Saturday 22nd March 2014
By Andrew Simpson
FOOTBALLERS will swap boots for buckets when they wash cars this Sunday to raise money for their club's chosen charity.
1874 Northwich players join supporters and board members on the forecourt at Arnold Clark, on Manchester Road, to make motors spotless in return for a donation to Ciaran's Cause.
The Warrington-based charity, named after seven-year-old Ciaran Geddes who died of a suspected heart attack in April 2012 while getting ready to play football with his friends, works to provide defibrillators for schools, amateur sports clubs and community groups with young members.
Junior football teams in Northwich are set to benefit next.
"We're proud to be linked with such a worthwhile cause," said 1874 Northwich chairman Paul Stockton.
"Cheshire FA is fully behind what we're doing, which is to collect funds to help pay for the equipment – and training on how to use it – for clubs in the town.
"We've been astounded at the support we've received since the club's formation, and hopefully that will continue this weekend come rain or shine."
He called on fans, wearing the team's distinctive green colours, to lend the players a hand.
Minimum donation is £1 per car.
"We're happy to be involved with 1874 Northwich and what we feel is an excellent charity," said Richard Ainsworth, sales manager at Arnold Clark.
The event starts at 11am, finishing at 4pm.

Social Work Faculty Empower Local Bhutanese Community
Published on Thu, October 25, 2012
For 19 years, Khadga Rai lived in Nepal as a refugee. Rai was once a schoolteacher in his native country, Bhutan. But that was then. Now, years later, Rai lives in Scranton, far from his homeland, trying to start a new life.
"I like it here a lot," Rai said. "I am eager to know, eager to learn."
In 2009, Rai and a group of refugees arrived in the United States, eventually settling in Scranton. Since their arrival, the Bhutanese have established a community in Scranton's South Side. It was then that Sr. Angela Kim, IHM, Ph.D. and Dr. Stephen Burke became acquainted with the group.
"After finding out that there was an increase in the Bhutanese population in the area, my colleague and I decided to conduct a needs assessment to determine the group's necessities," Sr. Angela said. "[The Bhutanese refugees] have an unbelievable story to tell."
If forced to find a common thread in the Bhutanese story, it would be challenge—a concept that is all too familiar for Rai. He says that the group has had to overcome language and cultural barriers, technology and health problems. The weight of these challenges, however, has been lifted because of Sr. Angela's help and research, says Rai.
"The people here are very nice, and they are helpful," Rai explained, when asked how the program he has been attending at Marywood has helped. "We learn about health and diet and education. When I finish, I hope to take what I learn back to my community, so that they can learn too."
The "Training the Trainer" program, as it would eventually be named, began in October and was the brainchild of Sr. Angela Kim, IHM, Ph.D. and Steven Burke, Ph.D., both faculty members in Marywood's social work program. Each week the Bhutanese refugees will take interdisciplinary classes covering topics as wide-ranging as health, technology, nutrition, K-12 and college information and the cultural integration process. The program grew out of Sr. Angela and Dr. Burke's needs assessment, which they completed last year.
"We are trying to assist the local Bhutanese community to invest in their own human capital," Dr. Burke said. "When that happens, and people invest in their own community, it's a win-win for everyone."
Highlighting Dr. Burke's point, Rai says that the courses he has been taking have helped him and his family in several ways, including making his trips to the doctor's a little less complicated. He thanks the bilingual and health education—which was a key part of the "Training the Trainer" program—for that.

BURNLEY has the largest proportion of empty homes in the country, new figures have revealed.
The statistics from the Empty Homes Agency paint a shocking picture of abandoned property in East Lancashire, placing Pendle second in the national table for empty and boarded-up homes in 2013.
Three other East Lancashire boroughs featured in the top 10, with Hyndburn third, Blackburn with Darwen fourth and Rossendale eighth.
The loss of Government cash for the Elevate scheme in 2010, which has left whole streets awaiting demolition, has been blamed by some for the figures.
The project, which sought to bulldoze and rebuild empty properties, was scrapped by the Coalition Government after allegations it failed to tackle the root causes of the problem.
Coun Mark Townsend, leader of Burnley Council, said: "The loss of the Elevate funding has left us in limbo. We have got blocks of empty homes that are boarded up that were earmarked for demolition under that scheme that we never got the chance to start work on.
"We will be lobbying for Government assistance with empty homes. If there is no money to demolish them then we want to bring them back into use.
"We have to hope the taps of funding will be turned back on to allow us to complete some of the work that was started under Elevate."
When axed in 2010, Elevate had seen £317m spent on 7,500 homes in East Lancashire.
At its height in 2008, Burnley was given £14.4m and Pendle £10.6m.
Burnley MP Gordon Birtwistle said nobody wanted to live in old, damp terraced houses anymore.
He said: "Burnley is on the up at the moment, industry is improving and unemployment is down. People want to live in nice, new houses with a front garden and central heating, not 120-year-old terraced houses that have damp.
"With the town doing well it is about creating good, clean, nice houses for people to live in, the type we now see going up around Burnley Wood and Accrington Road.
"This is an old problem. It dates back to when the population of Burnley was 80 to 90,000. It is 20,000 less than that now.
"People now aspire to live in different houses. In Burnley Wood there were a lot of very poor terraced houses, and they were taken down and rebuilt. That's what the answer is."
Despite the problem Coun Townsend said Burnley was making 'great strides' in tackling this blight through schemes such as the Empty Homes Clusters Programme.
The latest figures show that last year in Burnley 3.33 per cent of all homes were empty for more than six months, while in Pendle it was 3.26 per cent.
In Pendle council leader Joe Cooney and MP Andrew Stephenson said an alternative approach to Elevate's funding had resulted in properties being brought back into use.
Mr Stephenson said: "The number of empty properties have reduced since the Elevate scheme ended. The approach is now about bringing homes back into use, rather than throwing money at the problem and bulldozing entire neighbourhoods.
"This Government doesn't believe that throwing money at it will solve the problem, and as Pendle Council has shown these homes can be brought back into use without being demolished.
"We need to make sure there are jobs available and school places for people to move back into these neighbourhoods.
"The Whitefield area in the centre of Nelson has traditionally been a big problem for empty homes, but this summer a new £6million state-of-the-art school will open, and with houses in the area being renovated it will attract families back to Whitefield.
"I am confident progress is being made to tackle empty houses, but it is also clear more still needs to be done."
Coun Cooney said: "We have taken on a different approach since the loss of the Elevate funding.
"Over the last 12 months we have put contracts out to tender to private companies to renovate empty homes.
"Since 2010 we have reduced the number of empty homes in Pendle by 34 per cent.

All Revved Up and Stymied
With the U.S. presidential election over, it seems as though some uncertainty might lift. But gridlock remains and, for many businesses, reason for caution still abounds, as the fiscal cliff might not be resolved this year. As a reminder, the "fiscal cliff" is the $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts that begins January 2013. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says it could send the U.S. economy into a recession if it is not resolved.
Will Congress successfully address the issue in the lame-duck session, or will it simply postpone the debate into the future? Or will the U.S. go off the cliff entirely?

People here in the valley reacted to the tragic news of the Boston Marathon explosions Monday, especially the running community.
People were glued to the coverage at places like Tangible Fitness and Runner's Den, both in Phoenix. Runners and trainers we talked to knew several people who ran the marathon, and are hoping for everyone's safe return.
"It was painful," said Don Robinson, a trainer at Tangible Fitness. He and the rest of the gym's members and employees were glued to the TV, wanting to know the very latest.
"In this valley, we've got a lot of marathon runners," Robinson said. He said some of their clients ran the race. He's concerned about their safety, and also about the spectators who only wanted to see their loved ones accomplish a milestone.
"There's kids there, too, this is a family event, every year," he said.
"It's still disbelief that this is happening at a major event like this," said Ron French, the manager at Runner's Den. "This is the 117th Boston Marathon and things like this don't happen at these races."
French said they know several people who traveled east to run the marathon.
"People train year-round for this to strive to qualify, it's almost a badge of honor, 'I qualified and got to participate in the Boston Marathon,'" he said.
Now those same people - his friends and training partners - are the targets of an unimaginable attack..
"2013 will be the year that bombs exploded and injured people and killed people," French said.
The organizers of the PF Chang's Rock and Roll Marathon that occurs every January in Tempe sent a statement saying,
We were shocked and saddened to learn of the tragedy in Boston today. Our hearts and thoughts are with the victims and all those affected. Out of respect to the Boston Marathon and the Boston Athletic Association, we will not be providing any additional comments at this time.

(UPDATED COVERAGE, March 8) Low temperatures have damaged as much as a quarter of south Florida' spring sweet corn and harmed the region's green beans.
The temperatures sunk into the mid-20s during the overnight hours of March 4 affected demand and sent bean prices soaring.
"There are no beans on the lake (Lake Okeechobee region)," Gary Stafford, salesman and green beans manager with Hugh H. Branch Inc., South Bay, Fla., said March 7. "We're hearing $35 for beans. We have had weather events that knocked out our productivity. The wind we had a couple of weeks ago and heavy rains accompanied by freeze events this week, they have eliminated our production."
While prices increased for beans, early March saw little initial movement on corn.
On March 6, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said white corn was in light supply and reported wirebound crates of 4-4 1/2 dozen yellow and bicolor corn selling for $10.35-12.35 while white fetched $12.35-14.35.
For beans, the USDA on March 6 reported supply was insufficient to establish a market, but the day before reported bushel cartons/crates of handpicked round green beans from central and south Florida at $24.85-26.85 with machine-picked selling for $24.85-26.95.
That's higher than in mid-February when handpicked cartons sold for $14.85, rising to $20-22.85 in late February.
Stafford on March 7 quoted similar prices for corn.
"We have damage and are looking at 20%-25% of the corn crop being lost," Arthur Kirstein, coordinator for the office of agricultural economic development for the Palm Beach County Extension Service, West Palm Beach, Fla., said on March 6. "It got to 25 degrees in some specific areas for quite a while."
"It seems like there was quite a bit of damage around but we're not sure on the acreage," said Jon Browder, sales manager for Pioneer Growers Co-op, Belle Glade, on March 6. "Temperatures hit as low as 27-28 degrees in some areas where there were pockets of cold and we had 30-35 degrees in general temperatures for a couple hours."
Kirstein said he expects growers to replant some of Palm Beach County's 20,000-24,000 acres of corn, which typically is harvested starting in early April.
Other vegetables, berries and citrus escaped damage.
Gary Wishnatzki, president and chief executive officer of Wish Farms, Plant City, Fla., said freeze protection systems helped protect central Florida's blueberries.
"The cold weather had no effect," he said March 7. "In our region, we feel very comfortable that we haven't been impacted by the cold at this point."
Bill Braswell, president of the Bartow-based Florida Blueberry Growers Association, said he expects minimal berry damage.
"Every farm has a degree of damage in Florida," he said March 7. "That is 1%-2% which mostly occurred in February. We're still going to produce 25 million pounds this season."
Lisa Lochridge, director of public affairs for Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association, Maitland, said she hasn't heard of any other Florida crop damage.
Temperatures didn't remain in the high 20s long enough in the north end of the state's citrus belt to cause damage, said Andrew Meadows, director of communications for Florida Citrus Mutual in Lakeland.
Initial reports show little damage in Georgia, said Charles Hall, executive director of the La Grange-based Georgia Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association.
"I don't think it's a major problem," he said March 5. "It may have gotten close to freezing but not enough that matters."
Hall said Georgia growers haven't started transplanting crops; cabbage and leafy greens dominate production now. He said blueberries and peaches haven't budded yet.

One of the advantages of having an image in your sidebar hosted at Tim Ireland's site is that when it comes back up, the image reappears to tell you. Bloggerheads itself has a holding page, he needs to reconfigure the database, but he's got a blogger hosted temporary site all about The Alisher Usmanov Affair and today he's specifically requesting a response from Fasthosts:
To ensure we broadcast as clear a picture as possible, Clive and I need to deal with this matter by addressing the parties/issues involved in the following order:The Fasthosts issue is a contractual/specific libel case one, that I'm not involved in, I have however removed them from my potential list of companies to rent a server from (I am looking) in the meantime, pending their response. The libel law is where my obvious interest lies, the law can, and should be, reformed, and this may be the cause celebre to get it done, we shall see. in the meantime, Chris Applegate asks:
- Fasthosts
- Schillings
- Alisher Usmanov
- UK libel law
Today, we begin with Fasthosts.
I figured an article that doesn't mention the allegations specifically but still discusses them is better than no article at all. But in the light of reading all the blog coverage of this now, I have my doubts: Am I right, or have I cowardly compromised? Your thoughts are welcome.Personally, I think he was correct to be cautious. Craig Murray, by all accounts, thinks he has a solid case and welcomes the opportunity to test it in court, Schillings/Usmanov seem to want to quash the story but not actually sue (that's my big issue with the law as is, money can suppress a story by threat of legal action). But those not party to the evidence itself need to be circumspect--I have reason to believe Craig may be correct, but I have no plans on going to court over his story. Giving coverage to the action, but not the details of the story itself, seems to me to be a valid compromise.

There was a lot of hot doggin' on the waves Saturday morning in Newport.
Literally – hot dogs riding waves.
Surfers got decked out in fun, spooky and crazy costumes at the annual Blackies Halloween Haunt on the north side of the Newport Pier, a casual get-together that brings friends and strangers together to ride party waves while spectators watch from the sand, giggling and pointing at their favorite outfits in the water.
Shawn Gallagher, of Costa Mesa, and yellow lab Hammy were a crowd-pleasing duo, with Gallagher dressed up as a big yellow bottle of mustard and Hammy sporting a hot dog outfit – until the waves ripped it off.
It was the first year Gallagher and his pup showed up for the costume gathering, and the tandem surfers took home "best duo" award.
"I didn't expect to win anything," Gallagher said. "I just wanted to come out and have a good time. He (Hammy) did a 360 and I heard he hung 20, but I didn't see it. That's him being a hot dog."
Bridget Arthur, from Costa Mesa and a regular Blackies surfer, got up at 5 a.m. to do her elaborate make-up for her zombie mermaid costume, which her six-year-old picked out for her.
"This is the most exciting day of the year for me to show off my make-up skills," said the hair stylist and make-up artist. "I didn't want to get my face wet so I only took two or three waves."
Michael Pells was one of the original members of the Blackies Classic Longboard Association, which started the event years ago. No one seems to remember exactly when it started, but many guessed about 7 years ago when just a handful of people started showing up the weekend before Halloween in costumes.
"It's really a lot of fun, it's just a combination of so many different people," Pells said, a chicken sitting on his head as his costume. "It's a family thing, it's for the kids. They enjoy doing it."
Organizer William Spurgeon said about 100 people paddled out in costumes. He said there's no entry fee, and the club gives out about 33 awards, such as scariest costume, best waves and best wipeouts.
"It grows every year," he said.
Gary Marshall watched from the sand, dressed up as Michael Jackson.
"The costumes just get crazier and the make-up work on some of these people is just unbelievable," he said. "It's such a turnout, as you can see by the crowd."
