Aron Johannsson just can't stop scoring, and it is becoming more and more difficult to see him not being a part of the U.S. national team's World Cup qualifiers in October.
The 20-year-old striker notched his 10th goal in all competitions for AZ Alkmaar on Saturday, belting a looping long-distant shot to lead AZ to a surprise 2-1 victory vs. Dutch League leaders PSV Eindhoven.
That victory didn't keep AZ manager Gertjan Verbeek from being fired on Sunday, a dismissal that was certainly a head-scratcher considering Saturday's victory moved the club into fourth place in the Eredivisie.
Brad Guzan continued his stellar season for Aston Villa, recording five saves to help keep the Villans in their game vs. Manchester City on Saturday. After trailing 2-1, Aston Villa scored two goals to pull off an improbable comeback. Guzan capped that comeback with an assist after his perfect long kick found teammate Andreas Weimann, who slotted home the winner to help lift Aston Villa into the top half of the English Premier League.
The biggest international club match-up involving Americans took place in Mexico, where Puebla handed Club Tijuana a 2-0 defeat on Sunday. A total of six Americans played saw action in the match, with Michael Orozco and DaMarcus Beasley starting and helping shut down the Xolos attack. Joe Corona earned his first Liga MX appearance in five matches, but came out of the match at halftime, in place of fellow American Paul Arriola. Herculez Gomez made his first Liga MX appearance of the year, just three days after making his Club Tijuana debut with a second-half hat trick in CONCACAF Champions League Play.
A pair of Americans enjoyed victories in Derby action, with Eric Lichaj and Alejandro Bedoya coming out on the winning end of a pair of rivalries. Bedoya and Nantes posted a 1-0 victory over Stade Rennes in the latest installment of the Derby Breton. Bedoya started and played all 90 minutes for Nantes, which climbed to sixth place in Ligue 1 with the victory.
Lichaj and Nottingham Forest climbed to fifth place in the English League Championship after a 1-0 victory vs. Derby County in the latest installment of the East Midlands Derby. Lichaj has started every match for Forest, and helped the club post its fourth shutout of the season.
In Belgium, Sacha Kljestan continued to enjoy a dream season, setting up the game-winning goal in Anderlecht's 2-0 win vs. Lierse on Saturday.
It wasn't all good news for Americans Abroad last weekend, however.
Jermaine Jones and Fabian Johnson both started in Schalke's 3-3 tie vs. Hoffenheim, but both U.S. national team starters came away with injuries. Jones followed up the draw by having knee surgery that will keep him sidelined for up to six weeks, while Fabian Johnson suffered a bruised ankle that could cause him to miss playing time as well.
Jozy Altidore's rough start at Sunderland continued as the Black Cats dropped a 3-1 decision to Liverpool. Altidore did earn the start in Sunderland's first match since Paolo DiCanio's firing, but poor service from Sunderland's midfield, and Liverpool's physical defense, kept Altidore from finding his first Premier League goal for Sunderland.

A Stress Link to Lupus
September 20, 2017,
An abdominal MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan is an imaging test that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create pictures of the inside of the belly area. It does not use radiation (x-rays).
Single MRI images are called slices. The images can be stored on a computer or printed on film. One exam produces dozens or sometimes hundreds of images.
Nuclear magnetic resonance - abdomen; NMR - abdomen; Magnetic resonance imaging - abdomen; MRI of the abdomen
You may be asked to wear a hospital gown or clothing without metal zippers or snaps (such as sweatpants and a t-shirt). Certain types of metal can cause blurry images.
You will lie on a narrow table. The table slides into a large tunnel-shaped scanner.
Some exams require a special dye (contrast). Most of the time, the dye is given before the test through a vein (IV) in your hand or forearm. The dye helps the radiologist see certain areas more clearly.
During the MRI, the person who operates the machine will watch you from another room. The test lasts about 30-60 minutes, but may take longer.
You may be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4 - 6 hours before the scan.
Tell your doctor if you are afraid of close spaces (have claustrophobia). You may be given a medicine to help you feel sleepy and less anxious, or your doctor may suggest an "open" MRI, in which the machine is not as close to the body.
Before the test, tell your health care provider if you have:
Because the MRI contains strong magnets, metal objects are not allowed into the room with the MRI scanner:
An MRI exam causes no pain. You may get medicine to relax you if you have a problem lying still or are very nervous. Moving too much can blur MRI images and cause errors.
The table may be hard or cold, but you can ask for a blanket or pillow. The machine makes loud thumping and humming noises when turned on. You can wear ear plugs to help reduce the noise.
An intercom in the room allows you to speak to someone at any time. Some MRIs have televisions and special headphones to help you time pass.
There is no recovery time, unless you were given a medicine to relax. After an MRI scan, you can go back to your normal diet, activity, and medicines.
An abdominal MRI provides detailed pictures of the belly area from many views. It is often used to clarify findings from earlier x-rays or CT scans.
This test may be used to look at:
MRI can distinguish tumors from normal tissues. This can help the doctor know more about the tumor such as size, severity, and spread. This is called staging.
MRI is sometimes used to avoid the dangers of angiography, too much radiation exposure, and allergies from iodine.
An abnormal result may be due to:
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed:
MRI does not use ionizing radiation. No side effects from the magnetic fields and radio waves have been reported.
The most common type of contrast (dye) used is gadolinium. It is very safe. Allergic reactions rarely occur. However, gadolinium can be harmful to people with kidney problems who need dialysis. Tell your health care provider before the test if you have have kidney problems.
The strong magnetic fields created during an MRI can cause heart pacemakers and other implants not to work as well. The magnets can also cause a piece of metal inside your body to move or shift.

LeBlanc can't stop Fish; Halos fall into tie for first
Lefty allows six runs in 3 1/3; Calhoun's late RBI double ends shutout
ANAHEIM -- Through the first two innings, everything looked OK for Wade LeBlanc.
He was throwing strikes, coaxing ground balls, and most importantly, keeping the Marlins off the scoreboard. But then the strikes turned into balls, the ground balls into base hits, the bloopers into singles -- and they all turned into runs.
Miami scored three runs in the third and four in the fourth to grab a commanding lead and cruise to a 7-1 victory over the Angels on Monday night at Angel Stadium. With the A's win earlier, the Halos fell into a tie for first place in the American League West.
"They did a good job making adjustments on what they saw the first time through, and obviously, I didn't," LeBlanc said. "I knew the adjustments I needed to make and I just didn't execute them.
"I didn't give this team much of a chance at all."
In place of injured ace Garrett Richards, LeBlanc lasted just 3 1/3 innings, surrendering six runs while serving up seven hits and three walks. It was his first Major League start in 15 months, and his shortest in over three years.
"I thought Wade started out OK, but I think he just got away from some of the things that he does well," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "All in all, I don't think Wade got comfortable out there and really used some of his strengths the way he could have, and it ended up costing him."
This was not the LeBlanc that the Angels had seen in Triple-A Salt Lake (two runs allowed in his last 13 innings), nor was it the LeBlanc they needed to eat up innings as the fifth starter.
Instead, they got the pitcher who had as many baserunners as outs (10), and one who now sports a 10.13 ERA in three Major League outings this season.
They got the LeBlanc whose next start is now in doubt.
"If they think that I'm the most qualified to give them another start, another shot to win, I'd be more than grateful and work my butt off for them, but it's out of my hands," LeBlanc said.
Scioscia, however, was noncommittal about LeBlanc's future, opting to "get through tomorrow" rather than project the lefty's next start.
"Anytime you're making a decision, you're looking at your options, and Wade had been pitching really well in Triple-A and had a rough start tonight," Scioscia said. "You're always looking at your options, but we'll see how things turn out. We're not looking to the next start, we're looking towards tomorrow, because we have a lot of guys that have been pitching and didn't quite get the length today."
LeBlanc became just the Angels' seventh different starting pitcher this season, but his potential role at the back end of the rotation could be critical as the Angels battle the A's down the stretch.
"You can't worry about tomorrow," LeBlanc said. "If you worry about tomorrow, you're not able to do your job."
The Marlins made sure LeBlanc couldn't worry about tomorrow.
In the third, Miami used RBI singles by Christian Yelich and Casey McGehee sandwiched around Marcell Ozuna's sacrifice fly to deep right to open up a 3-0 lead. LeBlanc stranded two Marlins by striking out Jarrod Saltalamacchia to end the inning.
One frame later, though, the lefty couldn't escape. Donovan Solano doubled with one out, and Reed Johnson and Yelich followed with singles to extend Miami's lead to four and chase LeBlanc from the game.
After Cory Rasmus struck out Jeff Baker, Giancarlo Stanton delivered the knockout punch, sending a 94-mph fastball zooming toward the rocks in left-center to give the Marlins a seven-run cushion.
Stanton's 33rd home run of the season made a comeback even tougher, especially with the way Marlins starter Jarred Cosart was pitching.
Cosart made easy work of the high-powered Angels offense, throwing 7 2/3 innings of one-run ball and yielding seven hits (three from Erick Aybar) while striking out four. Cosart had gone 0-2 with a 5.68 ERA in two starts vs. the Angels earlier this season as a member of the Astros.
"We've faced him a couple of times, but never did he pound the zone like he did tonight," Scioscia said. "He was in the zone early and often."
The Angels didn't have a runner reach second base until the eighth inning, when the Marlins had already gone 5-for-13 with runners in scoring position and stranded four men on second and third.
Kole Calhoun's double in the eighth drove in Collin Cowgill to break up the shutout.

Jerry Kozak, President and CEO of National Milk Producers Federation has released a statement in response to the U.S. Department of Labor's decision to pull their proposed changes to the child labor law:
"Yesterday, the Department of Labor (DOL) withdrew its contentious proposed rule restricting the work that children could do on farms. In a statement issued by the DOL, it was made clear that the proposed rule would not be pursued 'for the duration of the Obama Administration.'
"The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) is encouraged by the Department's recognition that the path it was on with this proposal was an affront to millions of family members on farms and ranches across America. Many of them had objected to what the Labor Department was planning to do, and they voiced their concerns to the DOL, as well as to Congress. The withdrawal of the proposal is a victory for common sense.
"This proposed child labor rule would have changed the definition of the 'parental exemption,' changed the student learner exemption, and significantly redefined what practices would be acceptable for youth under the age of 16 to participate in. These changes drew objections from NMPF, along with all the other major agricultural organizations, because of the significant impact the change would have had on rural communities and families. Instead, the DOL says it will work with rural stakeholders to develop education programs to reduce accidents to young workers and promote safer agricultural working practices."

Chili verde isn't found on the menu at your typical Thai restaurant, but the celebration planned to welcome Tee Nee Thai back to The Alameda is arguably atypical.
Five neighborhood associations–Shasta/Hanchett Park, Buena Vista, Newhall, College Park and the Rose
Garden Neighborhood Preservation Association–are co-sponsoring the June 27 event at 1343 The Alameda, the former home of Elefante Blanco Thrift Store.
Local residents, restaurants and retailers participating in the event include firefighters from Engine 7 in College Park, who led the response to the two-alarm fire that shut Tee Nee Thai down on Feb. 3, 2012. Capt. Eric Hernandez and firefighters Brian Palodichuk, Sage Pelot and Shaun Miller will be on hand to serve chili verde, a specialty of Station 7's kitchen. To help cool the chili's burn, J. Lohr Winery will pour tastes of three of its most popular wines.
The first 50 guests will receive Thai silk purses filled with special discounts and offers from participating local businesses along The Alameda.
The celebration kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with a procession along The Alameda lead by classical Thai dancers, after which District 6 Councilman Pierluigi Oliverio will light Tee Nee Thai's neon sign for the first time since it went dark following the fire.
The event will also feature the screening of a video recently produced by Habana Cuba owner Jennifer Cannella Echeverri that highlights businesses serving the greater Rose Garden area.
Tee Nee Thai is actually set to reopen in early July, following a final inspection of the restaurant's rebuild. Todd Perreira, who owns Tee Nee Thai along with his wife Somsamai, says the "welcome back" celebration is in keeping with the community support they've received since the fire.
"I'm reminded once again of just how amazing this neighborhood truly is," he adds.
"The spirit of community is strong here–stronger than I think any of us realized," says Susan Davies, who lives near the restaurant, and who organized a benefit in support of Tee Nee Thai just three weeks after the fire. Davies is also helping to organize the "welcome back" party.
"It's given me a great sense of pride to live here," she says.
To RSVP to the "welcome back" party, email firstname.lastname@example.com

I'm flying today to San Francisco. For a change this is a pure vacation weekend. No screaming or heavy equipment to lug around. It's strange to be able to pack everything I need in 15 minutes. I'm visiting my brother, his wife and new baby. They are both neuroscientists but you may also know my brother as the musician Acrosome. A few years ago he bought some new music gear and he reads this blog so I suspect sooner than later there will be another Acrosome record. He has some cool stuff in his studio including a re-issue Oberheim SEM, Motu Volta, Vermona DRM, NordLead and other goodies (photo from 2010 above). I'll try and make it to Robotspeak. If they have a Doepfer Dark Time I'm going to push him to get one because as teens we were major EBM freaks together and he needs an analog sequencer ASAP. Friday I'm going to visit one of my oldest friend Rich Lin. He works at Zynga and I'm certain he's high on the food chain there so I will get a proper tour. I've known Rich since I was in 3rd Grade and we have the same birthday. He also has a young family and on Saturday we are all going to a beach on the Russian River. It's going to be good to get away from NYC humidity. Unlike going to Europe my data plan will be intact to I'll be Instagramming, Twittering and if I have time in the evenings posting here.
"When the night turns into day you can't believe the things I say. And when I lie and make you cry I prefer we were high." – Acrosome

So there is an all new version of Izotope's Trash (Trash 2) that was just released. It's certainly good and has hundreds of paramaters you can mess with. Sometimes however you just want a really good distortion unit with a few killer presets. Think about guitar pedals and imagine if they had a hundred options. That wouldn't make sense. kiloHearts from Linköping, Sweden have plug-in called Faturator. It's really nice, lightweight and with a great sound. This reads like a sales pitch and they did give me a NFR license however I really am using the plug-in a lot. Besides the "right" sounding fuzz and distortion there is a great stereo widener which I actually used a few times on its own (turning off the fuzz altogether). $19 USD Mac or PC.
"Faturator can do everything from adding subtle and warm gritty character to your sounds to slam them into a wall of heavy saturation and digital fuzz. Contrary to many distortion effects, Faturator will preserve the dynamics of your sound and work its wonders on it regardless of input gain. For the heck of it, it can also color the input to emphasize a specific tone of the sound, or throw some stereo width into the mix. Everything to give you a fast and easy way of making any input come alive." – kilohearts.com

Using boxes laid on their sides, build a structure with different levels.
We started with balsa wood boxes, like the kind you get when you purchase clementines. They stood up well, but they were hard to knock down. However, they might be a good choice for older children or mixed in with shoe boxes.
For structures built entirely with shoeboxes, you might need to put some shoe boxes behind the main structure to hold it upright until the game starts. You also might avoid playing the game on a windy day.
Stuffed toys with some weight to them help the structure stay upright.
You might also have a throwing spot for smaller and taller people that adjusts the difficulty level. It helps to put a rope on the ground or draw the line with chalk to help smaller participants remember where they are supposed to stand.
To play this game at a birthday party or with a larger group, it helps to have volunteers to toss back the socks after they are thrown, and to put the boxes upright again. It requires a lot of bending over, so it's a great volunteer role for an enthusiastic child.

Okay, I took some discs to the park for a head to head distance competition today. Here's what got thrown: (about 8 throws ea) I have indicated the placing of each disc (1-12)
Star wraith 172g- 3
Pro wraith 171g- 1
Pro wraith 174g- 5
Spectra 172g- 2
Champ. Orc 172g- 9
Flash 167g- 11
Champ. Valk. 167g- 8
Illusion 175g- 10
Pro Starfire 167g- 4
Quarter K 169g- 12
Champ Sidewinder 158g- 7
DX Orc 172g- 6
It was about 50 degrees with no wind and I was throwing on a flat grass field.
The longest disc for me (consistently) was the 171 white pro wraith. This disc would flip really slightly and then just cruise. I got it out past 420' easily. The pink pro wraith however was noticeably more overstable and hard to flex out. The longest throw of the day was with the pro starfire. It caught a bit of an updraft and went out to 440' or so. The shortest disc was the quarter K. This disc flew straight and glided OK but just died short of the rest every time. The top 8 discs were within about 20' of each other and the others were about 10' behind them. The valk and sidewinder actually held their own pretty well. I was able to hyzer-flip the sidewinder out a long way. The valk I'd just release flat and let it s curve. Both were going 400' no problem.

Sherlock Shroom
The hills are alive—with mushrooms! December, January and February's waterlogged terrain is just what the wild fungi need to flourish, but you've gotta know the difference between the delicacies and those that guarantee a trip to the emergency room. Be a Sherlock of the shrooms with "Wild Mushroom Basics," a three-hour hunt organized by Forage SF, typically at an undisclosed location in the East Bay hills (exact coordinates given upon registration). Local mushroom guru and part-time forager, Kevin Feinstein, shares the secrets of differentiating mushrooms using his own basket of pre-picked goodies. A slow-paced hike will have you searching for maple syrup-scented candy caps, lilac-hued blewits and the Amanita muscaria—rumored to be a Smurf favorite! Stops along the trail to investigate mushrooms will reveal how color, gills, sponge and teeth solve the mystery of good and bad mushrooms. But, as Kevin is quick to note, a three-hour lesson is only the tip of the Portabello in the field of edible foraging. It's more than elementary, my dear Watson.
TIP: Wild Mushroom Basics walks are scheduled for January 16th and 23rd (more dates may be added in the future.)

In today's world of classic Chevys, the stock resto cars can get lost in the fog of all the high-dollar, high-tech, high-detail restomods and customs being cranked out. Not to say there's anything wrong with those, but the man (or woman) with a factory-original piece of Detroit steel can be left feeling inadequate, unloved, and virtually forgotten.
But in simplicity there's beauty, and like the woman who looks stunning without makeup, there's something uniquely enchanting about a factory original car. Even when it's like our subject Bow Tie, which started out life as a mild mannered 283 Bel Air, but was transformed into a mighty 409-powered hero.
Joe Horisk had gone to the 2010 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction looking to buy a '62 Bel Air. Hard to imagine, but he left the event nearly disgusted at not finding the W-motor-equipped '62 he pined for. Joe had been staying at a friend's house in the area, and while sitting back the next day thinking about his next move, he decided to peruse the local classified section. There in monochromatic type was an ad: "For Sale: '62 Bel Air Ready for Assembly"
Bing! A quick call to the owner confirmed the car was still for sale, and upon arrival it was a Christmas Day-style moment for Horisk.
"There were pieces under this guy's bed, chrome plating was done, chassis powdercoated, a new CARS Inc. interior stitched up and ready for installation. Cad plated parts from the factory, like new, stacked everywhere," Horisk says. "The body was off the frame and still wearing its original paint, no signs of rust having ever tarnished it."
The floors still had original red oxide primer on the underside, and the frame was completely devoid of pits or other blemishes. It didn't take long for the deal to be struck, and the bubbletop became his.
After all the parts and pieces were shipped back to his home in Delaware, Joe started the next daunting task: finding all the correct, date coded pieces to make the Bel Air into a hyper-accurate 409 clone. This might seem difficult under the best of circumstances, but making it harder was that the '62 was built in the second week of January. To be correct the engine, trans, rear pumpkin, and other related accessories had to be date coded late '61. Two years of hunting, wheeling, and dealing netted everything necessary, including a rare "Big T"-coded pumpkin for the rear.
From that point, it took another year to fully assemble the entire car. Once finished, it was an eye-catching sight that even Joe found himself unable to turn away from. When we saw the car at the 2011 Goodguys PPG Nationals in Columbus, Ohio, it was only the second time the Bel Air had been out since its completion.
Simple, clean, straightforward, and subdued in appearance. While this '62 might not scream "Hear Me Roar" like other Chevys out there, it makes its statement with the quiet demeanor and power of a truly beautiful classic.

Verizon Sues the FCC for "Capricious" Net Neutrality Rules
Jason Mick

Recipient E-mail

(Source: NJ Journal)
Wireless carrier claims it still cares about net neutrality
Verizon Communications, Inc. (
) has sued the
U.S. Federal Communications Commission
for a second time looking to block its proposed net neutrality rules. But the puzzling thing is that it's not clear what the pair is fighting for.
Last August Google Inc. (
) maker of the world's most used smart phone operating system and most used search engine, teamed up with Verizon Communications, Inc. (
), America's largest wireless network, to
unveil a net neutrality proposal
. While the proposal aimed to block landline companies like Comcast Corp. (
) from discriminating against data, it contained exceptions for illegal data (e.g. P2P traffic) and wireless traffic (which the proposal argued was too bandwidth restricted to allow customers to freely access the internet).
The FCC, who Verizon and Google hoped would embrace those rules, was
dismissive of the proposal
. FCC Commissioner Michael Copps
[PDF], "Some will claim this announcement moves the discussion forward. That's one of its many problems. It is time to move a decision forward—a decision to reassert FCC authority over broadband telecommunications, to guarantee an open Internet now and forever, and to put the interests of consumers in front of the interests of giant corporations."
Still when the proposal was
finally unveiled
, it seemed to take into consideration a lot of what Google and Verizon said, largely exempting wireless traffic from the prohibition on throttling.
Despite that, Verizon made the curious decision to sue the FCC about the proposal, claiming it has no authority to make the rules regulating the internet. Verizon, who throttles its most active data users, was supported by the U.S. House of Representatives who
claim that net neutrality is an afront to capitalism
. The House argued that net neutrality regulation would prevent telecoms from monetization schemes, such as a
charging users per website visit

Ironically, Verizon is also supported by some of its enemies. Activist group Free Press has
also filed suit against the FCC
[PDF] because it complains the proposed rules too closely
Verizon's suggestion, which they argue illegally exempts wireless traffic from net neutrality provisions. The Free Press argue that all internet connections should be mandated to be neutral, and that rules with exemptions are illegal.
Fig. 2:
The FCC has also been sued by net neutrality advocates, the Free Press (pictured here protesting at Google's headquarters), who argues that its rules don't go far enough and illegally exempt wireless carriers like Verizon from some provisions. [Source: CBS Interactive]
For Verizon this is the company's second suit. The last suit was dismissed as the FCC hadn't officially unveiled the net neutrality rules.
Recall that Comcast
already won its suit
to prevent the FCC from restricting its throttling.
While Comcast's attorney acknowledged that Title I, Section 230(b) of the Communications Act, which defines that it is the policy of the United States "to preserve the vibrant and competitive free market that presently exists for the Internet" and "to promote the continued development of the Internet," she disputed that the provision gave the FCC authority to regulate the internet. She said that only Congress can deliver that kind of authority via legislation. The court bought that argument, ruling that the FCC did not have sufficient regulatory authority.
Now that attorney for Comcast -- Helgi G. Walker -- has been hired by Verizon to try to win another round against the FCC.
Fig 3.:
Verizon has retained Helgi Walker (pictured; center), a top lawyer who already won a similar case against the FCC for Comcast. [Source: Washington Life]
Verizon senior vice president Michael Glover claims his company is actually a supporter of net neutrality, "Verizon is fully committed to an open Internet. We are deeply concerned by the FCC's assertion of broad authority to impose potentially sweeping and unneeded regulations on broadband networks and services and on the Internet itself. We believe this assertion of authority is inconsistent with the statute and will create uncertainty for the communications industry, innovators, investors and consumers."
However, he calls the new rules "arbitrary" and "capricious".
If the rules are overturned it would likely have little bearing on the overall right to throttle by wireless carriers, which would be allowed under the pending rules. It would, however open the door to Verizon and others charging users per-page-visit (regardless of data use), something that is prohibited under the pending rules.
"If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion." -- Scientology founder L. Ron. Hubbard

A woman on safari was seriously injured when a rhinoceros gored her in the back, moments after a South African game park owner allegedly suggested she stand closer to the animal for a picture.
Chantal Beyer, 24, and her husband, Sven Fouche, were just a few feet away from two white rhinoceros, which on average weigh 4000-5000lb.
A few seconds later, one rhino attacked, its horn piercing her chest from behind, causing a collapsed lung and broken ribs.
Mrs Beyer, a student from Johannesburg, is in intensive care at a hospital in Krugersdorp, where she is said to be in a stable condition.
Alex Richter, the owner of the game park, had reportedly told a group of visitors that it was safe to get out of the vehicle to take photographs and used food to coax the rhinoceros closer.
A sign at the park entrance states that it is unsafe to leave cars at any time.
Mr Richter reportedly suggested Mrs Beyer "stand just a little bit closer" to the bull rhinoceros, moments before it attacked.
The Aloe Ridge Hotel and Nature Reserve, where the incident took place at the weekend, has declined to comment.
The game reserve, about 40 kilometres from Johannesburg, describes itself as giving guests "the ideal opportunity to game view", with rhinoceros listed among the animals "sighted at close range", along with hippopotamus, Cape buffalo and giraffes.

Jimmy Eriksson has to be patient and wait for his second match point to secure the 2012 ATS Formula 3 Cup title in the season finale at Hockenheim. On the Nürburgring weekend (15th/16th September), the experienced Swede failed to score enough points for an early championship party. At the end of the day, the Lotus driver missed this goal by just three points, on the cold but sunny race weekend in the Eifel. Points that were stolen by one of the youngest drivers on the grid: Lucas Auer. The race wins, however, were secured by Briton Tom Blomqvist and Austrian Rene Binder. Meanwhile, Andre Rudersdorf succeeded in securing the ATS Formula 3 Trophy early. With the Nürburgring weekend contested, his lead is so big that none of his rivals will be able to fully close the gap, on 29th/30th September at Hockenheim.
The race weekend at the Nürburgring's 5.137-kilometre Grand Prix circuit demonstrated clearly: had Tom Blomqvist contested all the races of the 2012 ATS Formula 3 Cup season he definitely would have been one of the title contenders. Due to scheduling conflicts, however, the 18-year old Briton couldn't race at Zandvoort, Assen and the Lausitzring - but celebrated five race wins, nevertheless. Two of these wins - as well as two pole positions - were secured this weekend at the Nürburgring and in addition, the son of World Rally Champion Stig Blomqvist also set a fastest race lap.
Jimmy Eriksson had high expectations, prior to the Nürburgring weekend. He travelled to the Eifel with a massive 86-point lead - and left it with a lead of 'only' 72 points under his belt. Not enough for securing the title early. No doubt, the chances of his only title rival, Lucas Auer, are extremely slim - but theoretically, he still could clinch the title.
Meanwhile, the battle for the second position in the championship will be far more thrilling, at Hockenheim, with Austria's Lucas Auer, Japanese Kimiya Sato and Australian Mitchell Gilbert still having the chance of finishing the season as vice-champion. All the three drivers delivered in fine style, at the Nürburgring, battled it out at the front end of the field and added points to their tallies in every race. On the other hand, none of them was able to beat Tom Blomqvist.
The first lap of the sprint race on Saturday afternoon once again demonstrated the high level of the ATS Formula 3 Cup's safety concept: Jimmy Eriksson made one of his rare mistakes while braking into a corner, hit the rear of his team-mate Kimiya Sato, got airborne - and crashed into the single-seater of Tom Blomqvist. Conclusion: nobody harmed, everything fine.
And now, in just two weeks time, the race action will be continued at Hockenheim. Nobody doubts that Jimmy Eriksson will be the one to be crowned as the new champion, during the course of the championship ceremony on Sunday evening. Actually, the only one who could prevent Eriksson from winning the title is Eriksson himself. Securing three of 75 points should be possible, shouldn't it?

U.S. multinationals will need to carefully inventory their outbound payments to determine if withholding is necessary and if the grandfathering provision applies.
Under FATCA, certain U.S.-sourced payments remitted abroad will be subject to a 30 percent withholding rate unless information on the recipient is provided to the payor or the IRS. For U.S. multinationals, FATCA compliance should begin now with a thorough review of accounts payable processes.
To ensure compliance, multinationals should identify their outbound payments from the U.S. to foreign financial institutions and entities. For the time being, a withholdable payment includes U.S.-source fixed, determinable, annual or periodic (FDAP) income. This would cover items such as dividends, interest, rents, royalties, etc. Beginning Jan. 1, 2015, the definition of a withholdable payment will be enlarged to encompass U.S. gross proceeds.
Obligations that are outstanding on Jan. 1, 2014, are not subject to FATCA withholding, however, under a grandfather provision. As a result, U.S. multinationals will need to carefully inventory their outbound payments to determine if withholding is necessary and if the grandfathering provision applies.
Once outbound payments have been identified, they need to determine whether the recipient is a foreign financial institution (FFI) or a non-financial foreign entity. Some financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities, such as publicly traded companies, will be exempt from withholding.
Income directed to FFI that is not exempt from withholding must be segregated into two categories: payments to participating FFIs, and payments to non-participating FFIs. A participating FFI is one that has entered into an agreement with the IRS and has certified that it will review its accounts and provide information on U.S. account holders on an annual basis. Payments to non-participating FFIs will be subject to 30 percent withholding. Additionally, in some instances, payments to participating FFIs may be subject to FATCA withholding.
Professionals at non-financial foreign entities will need to provide documentation to U.S. withholding agents in order to avoid FATCA withholding. Specifically, the non-financial foreign entity will need to certify that it is not substantially owned by U.S. persons. Where the non-financial foreign entity is substantially owned by U.S. persons, then information on U.S. owners will need to be provided to the U.S. withholding agent to avoid FATCA withholding.
FATCA's reach extends much farther than just financial institutions, and professionals at U.S. multinationals need to start preparing themselves now to ensure they are compliant next year.

WWD: World Wrestling Debacle #1: Stables, A Rapper, and a Cheerleader
by, 03-02-2013 at 09:26 PM (3866 Views)
Ok guys, so here is my second blog since coming back! This is actually a joint blog, with another guy who is just getting into blogging, Dennis! So the idea with this is merely that we discuss different topics.
Dolph Ziggler - Borderline Jobber With A Guaranteed Title Shot
Dennis: I personally feel that Dolph Ziggler is being pushed incorrectly. Dolph has been in the WWE for years now and has done his fair share of putting people over. Now that he is guaranteed a title shot you put him with a female who takes spotlight away from him and give him a body guard to protect him? It makes him look weak at the time that he should look the strongest he has ever looked.
Bear: I think he is more than a borderline jobber. Yeah, in the last month or so, he hasn't really been featured in a feud, and he hasn't won a crap ton of matches, but look at his time since winning the World Title MITB. He won it back in July, and since then, he has feuded with Sheamus while Sheamus held the World title, John Cena, Chris Jericho, and Randy Orton. He got wins over each of them, s how someone could say he is a borderline jobber is crazy. Yeah, right now he isn't being used properly, but that is an easy fix. Drop Big E, drop AJ, and give Ziggler the singles push, and the time on the mic that we know he deserves, and can run with
Dennis: Sure Dolph gained some steam this last summer, I will concede that. But I think we shouldn't get lost in the fact that recently he has been losing frequently. He did beat Cena, but never on a big stage cleanly. Superstars get over by beating big stars on big stages cleanly, WWE's failure to allow Dolph to win cleanly on a big stage seems to show a lack of confidence in his ability to carry a world title. You should build him up, not bring him down when he is holding that briefcase, at least in my opinion.
Bear: As for Dennis's point of AJ taking the spotlight from Ziggler, I don't think that is the case. You had AJ, who had the crazy girl gimmick, and the WWE basically killed that gimmick by sticking AJ with Ziggler. If anything, Ziggler took the spotlight from AJ. As for the point of the body guard, wasn't the WWE talking of having Mason Ryan as a guard way back when? How is that any different? As for your point about beating someone cleanly, looking at the title scene. You've got ADR, Big Show, Sheamus, and Swagger currently who are either in or could be in the world title scene. Personally, with Swaggers recent screw up, I can see ADR retaining at WM, holding onto the title for a few months, and sometime before July, when Zigglers contract expires, Ziggler cashes in and wins
Aces and 8's-Success? Or Flop?
Bear: So, Aces and 8's, the question is, is it a success or a flop. Personally, I see it as a flop. Now, I'm not saying that because of how long it's been going. I can deal with long storylines. Heck, look at Triple H and Shawn Michaels. They had an on again, off again feud that went on for a long while, and I loved it! My problem is, this storyline with Aces and 8's, hasn't been amazing. Look at who they revealed, Devon, Doc, Knox, Bischoff, Briscoe, Taz, and Anderson. Of those on that list, the only ones who were truly a "holy shit" surprise, were Devon and Taz. To me, in a long storyline like this, you need to have a moment every 1 to 2 months, that wets your appetite. I mean that in the context that they should have a reveal, the shocks people, like Taz or Devon. Instead of using nobodies like Bischoff or Briscoe, or using someone like Knox, i think a better surprise would have been like Storm, or Joe, or Eric Young. Someone people don't expect, and shocks everyone. That way, it still continues the storyline, gives us that "no way!' moment, but still holds off on the reveal. With how they currently went, I think they should have revealed all the members by now. Had they gone with bigger names, I could wait longer for the final reveal. Flop in my eyes.
Dennis: I do have an issue with this storyline to be honest. I, like many other wrestling fans like story-lines to conclude earlier or at least give their big reveal to keep me involved in the story. Like Bear said, I think if they were to have a big twist superstar instead of no names it would be more relevant to me as more of a casual TNA watcher, though Unlike bear I'm not going to call it a flop just quite yet. This storyline still has potential, we haven't even had the big storied ending yet, and it has drawn me in to watch more TNA shows in the past several months. I don't know if you are drawing people in via a storyline if you can call that storyline a failure. Though if I am not shocked about who the big boss is, I will join ship with bear and totally agree that this storyline is a flop. So for the time being though, I will say this storyline is neither a flop or a success.
Bear: Here is the problem though. When I think TNA, I don't think Aces and 8's, I think Bully Ray, I think Jeff Hardy, I think Aries and Roode teaming together. For me, if a storyline is successful, then when you think of a company, you think of that storyline. Now maybe it differs for other people, but I've read on other sites, people sharing the same opinion. Maybe I'm in the minority, I don't know
Dennis: I'm sure others do view Aces and 8's as you view them, but I just don't know if you can call a story a failure before the grand finale. This story-line has gone on far to long for my taste and I will admit that freely, but I think it's because they have some faith in the story being told threw aces and 8's. Hopefully it's not a disappointment because it's one of the better things going on in wrestling today. Though it has definitely been losing steam.
Bear: To your point of you don't know if you can call a story a failure before the grand finale...then why is there so much hate for How I Met Your Mother
Rock vs Cena II - Better...or Worse?
Dennis: For our final topic we wonder if Rock vs Cena could be better than last year, and I'm going to very cautiously say yes. The build up for the last match lead it to be more possible for Cena to lose, which was nice because unlike many matches in the WWE it made it unpredictable. I truly believed that Cena was going to win last year, and WWE shocked the world by allowing a part time wrestler to win against their superstar on their grandest stage, it's hard to top that. Though this year, it's like John Cena is on the path of redemption, and I think that might end up telling a better overall story. Even though the outcome seems more predictable, I think the story of Cena finally conquering his greatest foe on the grandest stage he was out-showed on the year prior could be nothing less than epic.
Bear: Personally, I think in the aspect of the actual match, it could be better, but the build up and the storyline leading into it, I don't think will be better than last year. From now to Wrestlemania, the Rock is advertised for a total of 4 Raw's/SD's between now and Wrestlemania, out of a total of 10. So that means the WWE Champion will be live on LESS THAN HALF of the shows going into Wrestlemania. Yeah, he can do the whole "live via satellite", but come on, The Rock in the arena compared to The Rock on the tron, is totally different. Another thing that bugs me, is the predictability. Honestly, I'd like to see The Rock win, and hold onto the title until Extreme Rules. Throw everyone of us smarks who "know" Cena will win a curve ball, and surprise everyone. So, the match itself I think will be better, but the build up won't be
Dennis: I do agree the fact that he is going to be on less than half of the shows is silly. But I don't necessarily think the predictability is a bad thing. As many other users have pointed out, this seems to be John Cena's year. and deserving-ly so, he lost so much last year. You can have great matches what are predictable, as long as the story seems real when it's happening and it seems like the rock can win during the match, I think this match has the potential to be better in all aspects. Though it should be said, If the rock does win that would be one of the greatest curves of all time.
Bear: It wouldn't be so silly if he wasn't the WWE Champion. I think that is what aggravates me most. While some matches can be predictable and good, I think AMAZING matches are unpredictable. Look at MITB, look at the most recent Cena/Punk match. Those were either TOTALLY unpredictable or semi unpredictable, and they were great!
All right folks. Hope you enjoyed reading. Dennis and I look forward to your comments. Until next time...adios!

Worst moments in Survivor Series history!!
by, 10-14-2012 at 03:48 PM (12556 Views)
The final of the big 4 ppv moments is finally here. I've done the Royal Rumble, Wreslemania, and Summerslam. Now it is time to put the lists for Survivor Series. With all great ppvs including Wrestlemania, they have their share of bad moments. Here is my list for the top 10 worst moments in history of Survivor Series to help hype up the ppv:
10.HBK's trainer beatdown 96-Jose Lothario was managing HBK for his match against Sid. Sid grabbed a camera man's camera teasing he was going to hit HBK with it. Lothario got on the apron to try to stop him, but Sid knocked him off the apron which caused Sid to receive a Sweet Chin Music. However, HBK went out and checked on Lothario rather than get the cover to win the match. HBK crying wanting Lothario to get help, Sid recovers and hits HBK with the camera from behind. Throws him into the ring to hit the powerbomb to win the WWF title. Emotional sad moment you didn't want to see thinking Lothario had a heart attack. Losing the title like that is a reason why it is in my top 10 worst moments.
9.Gobbly Gooker debut 90-Hyped for weeks around the egg hatching at Survivor Series. We saw the debut of the Gobbly Gooker dancing around with Mean Gene in the middle of the ring. Some believe it is one of the worst moments in the history of wrestling. The reason it is so low on the list because I really didn't give a crap about him as much as I did of the moments above.
8.Cena fired!! 10-Cena isn't a top favorite of mine by any means nor would I call myself a Cena hater. I didn't want Cena to be fired. I wanted him to help Barrett win the belt so he could keep his job. Fued with Orton, R-Truth, and so forth til he wins the belt back at WM from Barrett. It was one of those emotional moments for all us fans whether you love him or hate him....he brings out emotions out. Cena never ended up leaving though...LOL!
7.HHH vs Kozlov 08-Probably the worst match contested for the WWE title. Originally, it was suppose to be Jeff Hardy in a triple threat match. Kozlov and HHH got boring chants the whole match with that slow pace. Edge's return helped revive the match, but it was the longest time before Edge showed up. Than Jeff came out....electric, but that WWE title match was terrible. Undefeated Kozlov vs HHH which was originally suppose to happen in the first place before they added Hardy. Another one of those title runs where you are like, why have it? Jeff won WWE title at the next ppv only to lose it again at the Rumble. Than Edge lost it at EC to HHH to later win the world title the same night from Cena. Only to have Cena end up winning the world title back at WM. Than Cena lost it to Edge at Backlash. Than Jeff Hardy won it from Edge at Extreme Rules only to lose it to Punk. Than title changes continued.....than you wonder why we have 10x world champions.......
6.Big Show replaces & wins WWF title 99-Advertised main event was Austin vs Rock vs HHH. Instead, Big Show replaces Austin and ends up winning the WWF title. Big Show? Main event of the next ppv for the WWF title was Big Show vs Big Bossman. He later dropped the belt on Raw to HHH. Disappointing knowing the main event of the ppv and not getting it. Not only that, but someone who you don't expect to leave with the WWF title leaves with it who wasn't over with the fans at all.
5.Lesnar undefeated no more 02-Back to back Big Show WWF title victories makes the worst moments list. This time, he defeats the streak meaning Lesnar's undefeated streak. Plan before Summerslam was to have Lesnar destroy Hogan and have a rematch at Survivor Series, but Hogan just agreed because he thought he would be beating Lesnar. That is why that didn't happen so Big Show took his place. Big Show ended up beating him thanks to Heyman. Terrible way to end a win streak. However, what is the best way to do it?Big Show was never appealing to me, but he was in his Giant days in WCW.
4.Batista sends Austin home 03-Team Austin vs Team Bischoff winner stays while the loser goes home. For those who have read my blogs in the past knows Austin and Rock were my favs all-time in the WWE. HBK was Batista bombed while the refs were trying to seperate a fight on the outside. Orton pinned HBK to send Austin home packing. This was really the last time Austin was on Raw for a weekly basis. Ended a run most of us including me enjoyed. Austin however did comeback to ref Lesnar vs Goldberg anyways, but an emotional moment for all us Austin fans at the time.
3.Jericho helps the Alliance 01-At the time, Y2J and Rock were fueding despite being on WWFs side. Jericho beat Rock for the WCW title during this time and lost it as well. Y2J during winner takes all 5 on 5 Survivor Series elimination match hit his finisher at the time on the Rock. However, Angle turned on the Alliance to help Rock and WWF win the classic Survivor Series match. Alliance of ECW/WCW had to leave....The moment Jericho hit Rock with his finisher, it was a shock by everyone where the gasp wasn't only for WWF fans, but also the WWF lockerroom. WWF won despite Jericho selfish ways almost costing WWF the match.
2.Austin gets run over 99-At the time, Austin obviously was my favorite wrestler. He went out to meet I believe HHH in the parking lot, but was run over by Rikishi. That wasn't known until a year later, but seeing your favorite superstar get hit by a car. Not seen for a long time, sad. That is probably why today, I don't know who my favorite wrestler of all-time is. Rock stepped up as the man when he went down. I know now that he was taken off TV because the long term effects of his neck injury that he suffered at Summerslam of 1997.
1.Montreal Screwjob 97-The most controversial match in the history of this company. It is the most talked about match in the history of wrestling. No match has been discussed more and we still don't know truly what happened. Heard a lot of different stories from both sides. Some say it was that Bret didn't want to drop the belt in Canada. Bret claimed he didn't care to drop the belt in Canada. He was standing up for the lockerroom. I think Bret thought that if HBK won, they'd have control of who got the main event matches as they did in the past with Deisel, Razor, HBK, and so on. He was thinking about Taker, Bulldog, Austin, and so forth. HHH, Vince, and so on decided to do business for him. They decided to just tell few people and tell no one that they had anything to do with it. Vince wanted it all to come down on him. However, some people believe it may have been fixed despite Vince still having the black eye 8 days later after Bret punched him. It almost caused Foley, Taker, and so forth to have a strike and not work the Raw show the next night. This moment brought out emotion in a lot of wrestlers who weren't involved in the match. Bret spit on Vince, broke the monitors, and punched Vince afterwards. Just got the grudge between 3 men of Vince, Bret, and HBK over in 2010.
There my friends are my top 10 worst moments in the history of Survivor Series. Thoughts on my picks? Did I miss any? Leave those in the comment section below. I hope you enjoyed this blog. Stay tuned for the best moments in the history of Survivor Series. That will be coming before this years Survivor Series ppv. Thanks for reading......

A Forest Knolls man was arrested on allegations he shot a man with a BB gun in an argument over whether to have a barbecue.
Terrance Lee Osborne, 51, was booked into Marin County Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and exhibiting a weapon. His bail was set at $50,000.
The incident occurred Saturday afternoon on Montezuma Avenue, where a resident reported that a man was firing a shotgun at some people in the park.
Sheriff's deputies arrived and determined that Osborne had fired a BB gun at a 45-year-old Lagunitas man, said sheriff's Lt. Jamie Scardina. The shooting allegedly occurred because the victim wanted to have a barbecue and Osborne did not.
Osborne was taken off to jail. The alleged victim, Woody Wilson, did not require medical treatment.
In an interview Monday, Osborne's longtime girlfriend, Toinia Vigneri, confirmed that Osborne fired the gun, but she said Wilson was badgering them to have a barbecue in the park. Osborne and Vigneri live across the street from the park.
"Terry and Woody are basically friends — frenemies — you know, friends," she said. "They don't mean to fight."
On the day in question, Osborne and Vigneri were just getting up from a nap.
"I don't know where Woody got this barbecue thing," she said. "He just came up and said we're going to barbecue. They have got no grill, no food, no charcoal, no anything. He expects us to, I don't know, get dressed and go shopping for him, drag our grills over to the park and do everything for him.
"There was not going to be any barbecue."
Finally, Osborne pulled out a Daisy pellet gun and fired it two or three times at Wilson, Vigneri said. Wilson came to the house and informed Osborne that a BB struck him in the leg.
"He wasn't mad about it," she said. "He just wanted to tell him that one of the BBs hit him. They laughed about it and high-fived about it."
But by then, sheriff's deputies were on the way.
Wilson, reached by telephone, denied that he was even shot.
"I've known Terry all my life pretty much and I have no hard feelings toward him," Wilson said.
He said they try to get together for barbecue about once a month.
Prosecutors reviewed the case Monday and filed a misdemeanor brandishing charge against Osborne, but not the felony assault charge.

There's been a changing of the guard over the past few months and it's brought about a renewed vitality along with the new blood running the shows.

As the winter season begins, individuals will be exposed more often to the germs that cause colds or the flu. It is always better to prevent an illness than to deal with its symptoms and possibly spread it to someone else. The single most effective way to prevent the spread of dangerous germs is by following good hand hygiene.
Individuals should wash their hands often, especially during the winter months, and always at the following times:
· Before, during and after preparing food
My family went down to Wal-Mart the other day to get the "$5.95 Family Photo Special." I have a sharp eye for a bargain, however, you have to be firm to actually get it.
They're just hoping to lure you in with a ridiculously low price. Later, they'll try to sell you some wildly expensive packet of photos. I'd never allow myself to be hoodwinked because I'm Mr. Firm!
I pressed on, hiking about 50 feet in front of Mary, who was straining to keep up. Dave, not in any particular hurry, lagged behind her another 15 yards or so.
"I just know the clearing in the woods was right about here," I shouted back to my two grown children.
Still unable to find the clearing, I picked up my pace even more, stretching the distance between the three of us.
Christmas is upon us.
Everybody knows the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas". Have you ever wondered what it's all about? Is it just a nonsensical song that has repeating lines? Or could it be a coded message to those that know of a much deeper meaning?
Its origins are debated to this day.
It's agreed the song started in England but there's where the agreement ends.

Small Business Saturday is an American shopping holiday held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving during one of the busiest shopping seasons of the year. The day was created and marketed by American Express in 2010 to promote shopping at your small, locally-owned independent businesses on the day after Black Friday.
It won't happen again until the year 79811. That's 77,798 years from now. So if you're Jewish, enjoy the moment.
I'm referring to the concurrence of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah. Some American Jews are calling it Thanksgivukkah.
You know what?
Life today is so stressful that it ruins most of our marriages, causes people not to want to have children, leads to so much alcohol and drug abuse and just in general destroys the very roots of our civilization. We read about so many shootouts and massacres of innocent people that we are no longer shocked. Most of the time, the person committing the crime is doing so against their own families, neighbors and co-workers. Most of the time, the folks left will say they never would have suspected them to do such a things.
I was in my eighth-grade civics class at Springfield Elementary School (Middle School did not exist there then—eighth-grade play, eighth-grade trip and eighth-grade graduation were BIG events then—a simpler time). Some adult came to our class to tell us about the president being shot. We were all in shock! These things did not happen 50 years ago.
I noticed they did not go to the room next door where my favorite seventh- and eighth-grade history teacher was teaching—Mrs. Anna Mae Clarkson.

STAFF and pupils at a Wordsley primary school have been left in shock after the sudden death of a popular pupil.
Owen Jeremy, a pupil in year three at Fairhaven Primary School in Barnett Lane, is believed to have died suddenly during the night of May 23/24.
The tragic news was broken in a letter to parents last night - and tributes were paid to the "likeable" eight-year-old during an assembly for classmates and staff this morning (Friday May 25).
Headteacher Dave Rowe told the News: "We're obviously all devastated as a school.
"It's such an unexpected loss. He was such a lovely little boy, full of energy. He enjoyed playing football with his friends and he had a great sense of humour. He was also a big Aston Villa fan."
Mr Rowe praised staff whom he said had "rallied round and supported each other and the children" and added that counsellors had been drafted in to help the youngster's classmates come to terms with the tragedy.
Councillor Peter Miller, chairman of governors at the school, said: "It's very tragic that someone so young should lose their life.
"The whole school is obviously very, very upset.
"He was a very likeable little lad.
"Our thoughts are with the lad's mother and father at this sad time."
A post mortem into the youngster's death has yet to be carried out and an inquest will be opened next week.

By BRETT BARROUQUERE
Associated Press
A Tennessee man facing execution for raping and killing a Fort Campbell nurse was granted a new sentencing hearing Thursday when judges ruled he shouldn't have been compared to "the devil incarnate" and serial killer Jeffrey Dahamer at trial.
The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals also concluded Ronnie M. Cauthern's defense attorney did not properly investigate which family members would be willing to testify on his behalf and failed to pull together a coherent strategy to try to save his life.
The court ordered Cauthern, 46, resentenced within six months days or for the death sentence to be vacated.
A jury condemned Cauthern for the Jan. 8, 1987, slaying of Rosemary Smith, a captain in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps at the military post on the Kentucky-Tennessee line. Her husband, Patrick Smith, also a captain and nurse, died in the attack at couple's home in Clarksville, Tenn.
Prosecutors said Cauthern and a co-defendant, Brett Patterson, placed Rosemary Smith in a closet and forced her to listen to Patrick Smith's death in the next room. Rosemary Smith was then raped twice, lived through an unsuccessful strangling attempt then strangled to death.
Patterson, 49, was sentenced to life in prison and is eligible for parole in 2047. Cauthern received a life sentence for Patrick Smith's death.
Sharon Curtis-Flair, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Attorney General's office, said Thursday that prosecutors were reviewing the opinion before deciding what action to take next.
In addressing the jury at a resentencing hearing in 1995, then-Assistant Attorney General Steve Garrett cited the Rolling Stones song "Sympathy For The Devil," and referenced Dahmer, a Wisconsin man convicted of killing and eating parts of his victims. The prosecutor also repeatedly referred to Cauthern as "the evil one."
"The evil one took the name of Ronnie Cauthern on that day," Garrett said. "That was his name, and he's beyond redemption."
Lower courts have found that it is a stretch to think anyone would conclude that Cauthern really was the devil and jurors didn't base their decision on those remarks.
"While that may be true, it's real relevance is that it highlights the outlandish nature of the prosecutor's remarks," Judge Eric Clay wrote for the court's majority. "And, one would not need to believe that (Cauthern) was himself the devil in order to have been improperly inflamed such that the verdict cannot be trusted."
Judge John M. Rogers dissented from that section of Clay's opinion, saying both the "substantial evidence of the grisly manner" in which Rosemary Smith died as well as the differing sentences for the deaths of the husband and wife bolster the contention that jurors weren't swayed by the prosecution's remarks.
"The evidence before the jury much more clearly established that Rosemary's death was heinous, atrocious, or cruel," Rogers wrote.
Rogers and Judge R. Guy Cole Jr. signed on with Clay's conclusion that the defense was inadequate.
The resentencing will mark the third time Cauthern appears in court to learn his fate in the death of Rosemary Smith. A Tennessee state court granted him a new sentencing in 1995 after concluding that a judge improperly allowed jurors to hear about a statement Cauthern made to police.

Reduce your housework
The invention of tools like vacuum cleaners and washing machines may mean that today's mothers spend less time on housework than our grandmothers did, but we still do a lot! One Australian newspaper says housework would cost the average household an extra $60,000 a year for all the housework the average woman does.
The latest Australian Bureau of Statistics' time-use survey found that women spend about one hour a day preparing meals, double the time spent by men. But if cooking was outsourced to a personal chef at $50 an hour, the average household would pay up to $17,600 a year simply to get dinner on the table each night.
Add to that $26,080 for general cleaning and $21,840 for childcare, and the annual output of mums' household work totals $65,520 at the low end.
Overall, unpaid housework contributes more than $261 billion to Australia's economy every year, according to the latest Australian figures.
So how can mums get more bang for their housework buck? By spending LESS time doing it, not more. Here are some ideas to reduce your housework load, and steal time (and money) back for yourself.
Lower your standards
Some housework does not need to be done. The playroom will just get dirty again. No one cares if the spines on your books align. Try this thought exercise: If you disappeared, would your partner or kids ever do the chore you're about to do? If not, ask whether you should do it either. On that front, try not emptying the dishwasher for a while, and see how long it takes for another family member to step up to the plate. Fortitude! You can outlast them.

Hit the internet
Order groceries online. Your time is worth the delivery fee. Even if you don't live in a big city where you can order fresh goods, you can have cereals, pasta, canned goods and other nonperishable items delivered. Think of all the commuting and shopping time you'll save (plus you don't have the chance to snap up those impulse buys if you aren't perusing the aisles.)
Make dinner easier
A lean protein, a fruit or veggie and a whole grain makes a respectable meal. Examples: spaghetti with tomato sauce or an omelette and toast - nutritious and healthy. Try these easy and quick meals so you can spend more time enjoying your meals instead of preparing them.

- Pesto pasta pronto
- Baked flathead with crunchy salad
- Impossible quiche

Prevent laundry
Buy enough socks and underwear so you can go for more time between laundry loads. Instead of every family member throwing their clothes in the dirty clothes basket each day, encourage them to rewear items like jeans and jumpers. Check if your local dry cleaner will also do laundry - a bag wash might cost less than $20 and they sure know how to fold clothes nicely! Some dry cleaners will even deliver.
