Brooks & D(ix)unn
SMITHVILLE—All season long they have symbiotically shared backfield duties.
Friday night, they were equally as judicious with the scoring.
Daniel Brooks and Terral Dixon combined to score six touchdowns as Rockdale put a halt to a four-game losing streak with a 48-7 smackdown of Smithville Friday night at venerable Barry Field.
Big Blue improves to 3-4 on the season and 1-1 in District 23-3A action and has handled the Tigers 20 of the 22 times they have faced, including 15 straight.
Smithville dipped to 0-7 and 0-2.
"Obviously, this is hands down the best overall game we have played," said Rockdale Coach Jeff Miller. "It was a lot of fun."
Especially for Brooks and Dixon.
Brooks darted around the field for 269 yards on the ground and now owns one of the two best rushing totals in RHS history.
In the Tigers' victory over Salado in the second game of the season, Brooks smashed Emanuel Mack's previous school record of 266 with 300 yards.
With his outburst, Brooks has now cracked the 1,000-yard mark for the season with 1,131 yards.
For his career, Brooks has run for 1,800 yards and 21 touchdowns.
Jama l Williams holds t he school season record with 1,500 yards and w ith three games remaining, Brooks certainly has a shot at that.
Brooks scored on runs of 13, 76 and 82 yards.
For Dixon, it was his play at receiver that did the most damage, hauling in three passes and turning two of them into scores.
The senior picked up 70 yards on the ground and another score not to mention nabbing two interceptions on the other side of the line of scrimmage.
Dillon Goodman also had a breakout game with four catches and a touchdown grab.
The benefactor of the sticky hands was quarterback Ethan Brinkley, who in turn had his best night of the season, as the sophomore connected on 11-of-17 passes for 130 yards and three touchdown passes.
"For sure Ethan has played much better than his statistics would indicate," Miller said. "He has thrown only five or six bad balls all year. If he was getting the help he deserves, he's throwing catchable balls and tonight proves it."
The 48 points scored is more than the last four games combined when the Tigers managed just 34 points, including just seven in the past three outings.
Frustration began setting in for the Smithville players as they were f lagged for six unsportsmanlike penalty calls.
After Brooks scored on an 82- yard run in the third quarter to make the score 34-7, Smithville's Bobby Rodriguez hit Brooks from behind in the back of the end zone well after the play was concluded, which enraged Rockdale coaches who charged the field.
Rodriguez was ejected from the game.
As a matter of fact, the officials kept themselves busy all evening throwing 226 yards (Rockdale 16-for-120) worth of penalty flags.
"I was proud of the way we handled that," Miller said. "Despite the unsportsmanlike play of Smithville, we took our frustrations out during the play. That's real encouraging."
Defensively, the district's best haunted Smithville for six turnovers including five interceptions.
"Defensively we played lights out against the pass and run," said Miller. "And, we had some kids who haven't had significant playing time get out there and play hard."
Reserve junior linebacker Ty Kirk took advantage of a shortage at linebacker because of Derek David's loss and racked up 11 tackles.

Sixteen of the country's toughest men and women will be split into four teams as they work together to face a variety of military-grade and survival-themed challenges. Cena and an elite group of mentors from the nation's most exclusive military units will push these civilians beyond their limits. The mentors, known as "The Cadre," include Rorke Denver, Noah Galloway, Tawanda "Tee" Hanible and Nick "The Reaper" Irving. These real-life heroes, who represent diverse backgrounds and top branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, will impart their first-hand knowledge and experience to help the competitors work together as teams to surmount near impossible mental and physical challenges. AMERICAN GRIT embodies the military ethos "no man left behind," because only the first team to complete the challenges together is safe from elimination. Each episode will culminate in "The Circus," a punishing, endurance-based obstacle course designed to break the weakest competitors. With up to a million dollars of prize money at stake, this is the ultimate test of strength, grit, the human spirit and most importantly, teamwork.

text: So last night i was cruising with my friend, he was driving his 01 Eclipse and i was driving my 94 GT. He hit 100 on the bridge and shredded his belt. This morning we hit the part store and got a belt. On the way to his car, mine cuts off rolling down the road. Everything just shut off, lost brakes and power steering. Managed to pull into a parking lot. Went to start the car and it wouldn't crank. We diagnosed it as the coil pack. Wasn't getting any ignition. I checked the coil pack and it wasn't getting any spark. Replaced it, getting spark now. But I'm still not getting any spark to the plugs. Checking under the distributor cap tomorrow morning. Any thoughts?

wall made a semicircle, which was
furnished like a small park with some
benches. One could sit here without

Tortillon, about to avail herself of
one of these, drew back startled. A
child was there playing with flowers,
which she scattered over the benches
in graceful profusion, or made into
bouquets . Never waf an angel more

bewitched with admiration. The child,
if she should see her, would try to es?

The eye of Tortillon?wide open, full of

on the divine face of the child. The

An intense desire, irresistible, furious,

made in saying this, would have

He said that the Japanese had entered
into the discussion in the best of spirit,
that the utmost harmony prevailed, and
that the Japanese showed a disposition
to treat the subject as persons desiring

If. Witte talked interestingly relative
to the negotiations now in progress.
"The Japanese envoy?? made no formal

that we take up the demands point by

There is an impression that the pleni

contested terms of the Japanese until
the last, and that those of the most

evacuation of Manchuria, fishing and
mining rights in and about S. klialin and

the Chinese Eastern Railway, are iv in?

was to make a dependency of Korea,
and he wanted the language of .he arti?
cle to conform to Japan's real inten?
tions. M Witte was prepared from the
beginning to accept the article, his only
objection being as to the form. He
wanted the language at least to show
that Japan intended to establish a pro?

The second article is believed to relate
to the evacuation of Manchuria by Rus?

A RUSH on French baguettes by customers at Waitrose supermarket in York has resulted in the store selling out.
Customers in the city's high-end supermarket are also reportedly stocking up on strawberries and champagne for their Tour de France celebrations, as the York branch says it has seen sales increase 11 per cent this week.
Waitrose in Harrogate said an influx in tourists in town for the international event had caused sales of ice and beer to soar.

Meanwhile Asda in Harrogate said it had been "busier than Christmas".
There was evidence of shoppers stockpiling as at one point today (Friday, July 4) as several shoppers tweeted pictures of rows of empty shelves where bread had sold out.
The Yorkshire-based chain is the official partner of the Tour Makers for the Tour de France in the UK and has been responsible for recruiting, training and feeding the 10,000 Tour Maker volunteers.
A spokeswoman for the store said: "There were some availability problems yesterday at our Harrogate store. There were a lot of customers coming in; it was busier than Christmas. But all the shelves are fully restocked now."

Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum have been officially fired from Fox News Channel after waffling for two months over statements maintaining they might run in the presidential race. To maintain the integrity of the news network, FSN had suspended the two men in March until May 1, in order to give them time to back away from the idea of running and return to their current positions. Turns out, both men needed the full 60 days to decide they would rather end their contracts.
Had either man officially stated he wasn't running, the contracts would have been reinstated and the two men could have returned to their work at the network. Had either man stated he was running, allowing pointy-fingered Gingrich or Santorum to stay on board would have compromised the journalistic integrity of the network. However, though the two men did kiss their contracts goodbye, this does not necessarily mean Gingrich and Santorum will jump into the race (Although Santorum was present at last night's debate). It just means they have left the door open.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, firing Gingrich and Santorum might just be a first step in cleaning out potential candidates. The network still has several potentials on its roster, including Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, and John Bolton. If any of them intend to run, they will also go through the same suspensions and firings.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather see Mike Huckabee doing soft news elsewhere, anyway. "Blue Suede Shoes" on bass guitar, anyone?

Athens (IANS) Eurozone ministers on Thursday agreed to give Greece a 7 billion euro (over 7 billion dollars) bridging loan from an EU-wide fund to keep its finances afloat until a bailout is approved, BBC reported.
The loan is expected to be confirmed on Friday by all European Union (EU) member states.
In a separate development, the European Central Bank (ECB) agreed to raise emergency funding to Greece for the first time since it was frozen in June.
The decisions were made after Greek parliamentarians passed tough reforms as part of a eurozone bailout deal.
It means Greek banks, which have been closed for nearly three weeks, could reopen in a few days.
According to Greek media, banks are preparing to reopen on Monday, although credit controls will remain in place.

Indian Head (Md.) Lackey cornerback Darrell Givens is well over a dozen scholarships now. The 5-foot-11, 174-pounder added two more in the past day, both from the Big Ten.
"I got offers from Illinois and Penn State," he said. "I called Coach Locksley last night. From talking to him for 20 minutes, I can tell he's a real serious recruiter. He likes me a lot and told me the coaching staff likes me a lot.
"He talked about how they have a lot of players from the Maryland/D.C. area and it would be like home if I go there. I know a lot of those players from camps and that could affect me."
Article Continues Below
Does anything else stick out about the offer from the Illini?
"One thing about them is that I see they have a young secondary," he stated. "By the time I get there, most seniors except for Tavon Wilson will be seniors. That looks good for me."
Meanwhile, Givens went on about his other offer.
"I had heard they were going to offer and they finally sent it in," he said. "That's kind of big, a lot of kids from this area are on their team too. My teammate Malcolm Willis was offered by Penn State in February. He and I are real close and that could be an advantage for them. We've talked about playing together since we were little."
Visits are quickly approaching for Givens who plans to take a handful of unofficials.
"I'm going to Miami's spring game on March 29th," he said. "Then I think most likely I'll take a junior day to Penn State on April 5th and go to Ohio State's spring game on April 19th."

UWP's Tom Lo Guidice to serve on OPID committee
PLATTEVILLE - Just because you're a teacher, doesn't mean you quit learning, as is evident through University of Wisconsin-Platteville director of the Teaching Excellence Center (TEC) Tom Lo Guidice. Lo Guidice was recently elected to serve a two-year term on the executive committee for the University of Wisconsin System Office of Professional and Instructional Development (OPID). OPID serves as a state-wide resource promoting faculty development on 26 campuses in the UW System, an area of interest for Lo Guidice.
"I'm interested in serving on the committee to support the continuation of faculty development for system professors and staff," Lo Guidice said. "I've served as an OPID faculty representative for the past three years. I believe there is a world of opportunity for faculty development. The OPID position is another avenue for learning and to influence new pathways for our faculty and staff."
Established in 1977 as the Undergraduate Teaching Improvement Council with a focus primarily on teaching improvement, OPID has expanded over the years to provide a network of leaders in faculty development and support for programs that encourage improvement of teaching and learning. Topics such as student learning, the scholarship of teaching and learning, career stages and faculty roles and rewards are some of the highlights of OPID programs. OPID also provides a variety of grants for campus activities.
"UWP was recently awarded a $17,000 grant to promote teaching of service learning in courses across campus," Lo Guidice said. "Provost Carol Sue Butts and the Improvement of Learning Committee used curriculum improvement funds to match the OPID grant with $12,000 and the Community University Partnership and the Pioneer Involvement Center are also cooperating with TEC in this effort."
A member of several professional and social organizations including the American Association for Higher Education and the Southwest Wisconsin Peace Fellowship, Lo Guidice came to UWP in 1990 as an associate professor and chair of the department of teaching. Prior to joining the staff at UWP, he served as chair of teacher education and director of faculty development at Kenosha's Carthage College. In 2000, he was appointed director of TEC. Lo Guidice also served as the interim chair of the School of Education for the 2002-03 academic year.
Lo Guidice is an alumnus of Florida State University, having received his bachelor of science and master of science degrees in social studies education. He also has a Ph. D in human affairs from Florida State University.

Dear CBS -
You seem to be unclear on the concept of the live feeds. People shell out their hard-earned cash to watch events unfold before they are edited into the bland safe-for-the-network snippets that are shown a few times per week. Live feed watchers arent just spoiled, they are experiencing the twists and turns along with the hapless houseguests. You cant tell me that anyone staying up until the wee hours of the night to hear every last bit of trash talking isnt participating in the experience.
We only saw five minutes of Janelles reign as HOH, and now we seem destined to miss Howies Jedi-like triumph. He only gets one day in power, so instead of blocking the feeds, you should be letting us watch! Blocking the feeds is not a twist; its the most infuriating circumstance you could have engineered. Whoever made this decision, you are spitting in the face of live feed watchers, and we dont appreciate it.
A Disgruntled Feed Watcher
P.S.: I fart in your general direction.
Since the Eviction
- The friendship continues to fracture; the POV competition will expose hidden loyalties unless Howie or Janelle win.
- Howie got high-quality light sabers as part of his HOH package!
- The houseguests were given an unusually early wake up call of 7:30 A.M.
- Former houseguest Holly from BB5 was spotted in the backyard getting instructions on hosting the POV competition. She was holding oversized poker chips with pictures of the houseguests on them.
- CBS saw fit to block the feeds. Again. May fleas infest the underwear drawer of whoever made this decision.
Return of the Jedi...For a Day
Howie made his nominations on the spot during the live show, and the aftermath is immediately apparent when the feeds come back on. Ivette is in the bathroom crying bitterly. She is upset that she didnt win HOH and now faces eviction without having won a competition. April comforts her in her passive-aggressive knife-to-the-heart way, telling Ivette the reason she didnt win was that it wasnt her Time. Ivette winning just wasnt Meant to Be. *sputtering* These people always talk about the game as if the fate of the world was at stake. April can barely contain her glee at Howies nominations, since hes doing what April secretly wants - scuttling the last pair.
April and Maggie ask Beau privately who he wants to see stay in the game - Ivette or himself? He says that they both want Beau to stay. Meanwhile, Ivette has told Maggie separately that she hopes Howie replaces one of them with April if they win the veto, because they will have the votes to get her out over one of the pair. Maggie doesnt respond, but Ivette seems oblivious. She seems to take comfort in the fact that Janelles one vote can be cancelled out by the friendships two, so they will be deciding their own fate.
The friendship plot to get Howie to turn on Janelle. They think Beau can convince him that if he takes Janelle to the final two, he wont win against her. Ivette and Maggie seem to think this will actually work, but April thinks only Beau should approach Howie with this argument. They realize Howie wont put her up this week if the veto is used, but could he be persuaded to vote against her next week? Since they will still outnumber Howie and Janelle, and its not like Howie can win HOH next week, it seems like a moot point to me.
Receive Goodies, You Will
Howie gets the signal that his HOH room has been readied for his enjoyment. He knows he cant get too comfortable, since the last time there was a double eviction Janelle got the use of the HOH room for one stinkin night. But as Howie is the first hamster to win HOH twice in this season, his prize is a little more substantial than a bag of Oreos or a rock from home: he gets light sabers from Master Replicas! The whole house crowds in the room to get a close up look at a Jedi Masters tool of destruction. Does this means Master Replicas loves you? April quips lamely. Unlike April, Howie doesnt seem to believe a corporation can have feelings; or at least, he knows who to thank. Thanks, BB! he says several times.
As light sabers go, these puppies are slick. When the switch is flicked on, the light fills up from the base just as if the blade is springing into existence. They sound just like the movie, making a crash when they hit each other and a whooosh when theyre waved around. Howie playfully battles Janelle and Beau, then turns off the light for an even more impressive display. Whoever procured these for Howie really did their homework - he is one happy hamster.
Sure, Howie also got pictures and goodies and the use of the bed for a night. Knowing that the likes of Ivette and April will have to give up the room they consider the friendships sweetens the deal considerably.
After battling with light sabers until the others grow bored and leave the room, Janelle and Howie have a chance to talk privately. Janelle says that if she wins HOH next week Friday night, she wont be able to put April on the block because she struck a deal with her. Janelle wonders casually if they have been asking Howie to put Janelle up, and he denies it. She scoffs that they couldnt be so stupid. In actuality, Howie has been approached with a hard sell from Beau to get rid of Janelle while he has the chance. Beau told Howie he wouldnt win if he went up against Janelle. So...hed win against any of the friendship? Not with their majority on the jury. Its crystal clear to outside observers, but we all know how confused Howie gets.
Janelle tells Howie that if everything stays as it is, Ivette will be voted off because both April and Maggie are ready to evict her. If the veto is used, they can put Maggie in Ivettes place, and convince April to vote out Beau with Janelle. Both of them are sick of Ivettes personality, but recognize that Beau is probably a stronger competitor. Their plan is to target Beau over Ivette if they win the veto.
Like most conversations between Janelle and Howie, they lapse into their ritual babytalk. Janelle likes to remind Howie hes a big beefcake and he tells her shes a Janie doll. The humor has long gone out of their banter; its like sad comfort talk now.
With Friends Like These
April surprises her friends by saying she wishes Janelle had won HOH. She explains that it would mean they would be competing with Howie for the next HOH, not Janelle. Whew! For a moment we all thought April had defected openly. But April continues to put her foot in her mouth by waxing on about how the other side thinks shes a weak player and probably want to take her to the final three. She even goes so far as to say that if she won the final HOH competition she would get to pick between Janelle and Howie who would deserve the $50,000 second-place prize. Not that she would want to be up against Janelle and Howie, thats icky! You can read her mind here, though; she knows she would win big against either Sovereign. Ivette and Maggie arent stupid; they can definitely read between the lines, and they arent amused.
Beau asks to speak to Howie alone, and Howie agrees; but he cautions Beau that he wont strike any deals after his last disastrous term as HOH. He will meet with Beau alone but wont make promises until hes discussed it with Janie. Beau agrees, then proceeds to hit Howie hard with the idea that its every man for himself from this point forward.
Howie tells Beau that he finds him a greater physical competitor than April or Ivette, and that hes well aware that Beau has a pair left in the house. Beau tries to convince Howie he should be thinking as an individual, not really addressing the issue of Beaus relative strength compared to the others. Howie ends the conversation by telling Beau that he trusts him because he hasnt been deceitful in the game. Since Howie isnt amenable to making deals, Beau leaves and finds Ivette to tell her about the meeting. He recounts the conversation accurately; no need to exaggerate with his partner, after all. But he also tells Ivette that hes come to a decision: if he wins the veto, he will use it to save her because she brought him to the game. Ivette is uncomfortable with this kind of talk and tells him to leave it until after the veto competition is played.
But Ivette also complains bitterly to Beau that shes misunderstood by the other side. She says they have a certain picture of her and they unfairly include her in Kaysars ousting, when she was working to calm everyone down that week. She paints herself as a noble player in the game, saying that she doesnt want to leave this game with continuously not being selfish. Do you understand what I'm saying? Her point is that if she wins the veto, she wants to take herself off without feeling guilty. If she can rationalize her place in the game so thoroughly that she thinks Janelle and Howie should be thanking her for the week Kaysar was evicted, her powers of self-delusion are invincible. Im sure shell get over the guilt of saving herself with the veto, if she ever wins it.
Beau tells the rest of the group that he wants them to use the veto on Ivette if they win it. Maggie and April remind him that if they do, the other will be put in her place. Beau seems to have given up the fiction that he barely knows Ivette - now he says he loves her to death, and wants her to stay in the game over him. Maggie and April tell him they wont use the veto if either of them wins it, and advise Ivette and Beau to fight hard for themselves.
Mixed into any of the friendships conversations is near constant whining about Janelle. Ivette has reached her highest level of hatred, tearing Janelle down for her looks, her voice, her actions, her hair, her luck. She says Janelle has an evil soul and she cant stand to breathe the same air as her. When Ivette gets on a roll, the others nod in agreement and laugh along. Ivette fantasizes about saying to Janelles face, How does it feel to know youll never win the $500,000? Maggie laughs uproariously (seriously, youd think it was a dirty joke at least) but when Ivette is gone, later, she makes fun of Ivettes joke. Its more money than youll win, Ivette, she tells April she wanted to retort.
April, who has been trying the most to build a relationship with Janelle with her eye on the next few weeks, must feel compelled to convince her friends that she hates her, and goes on a rant about Janelle being a slob who doesnt do her dishes. Its a good effort, but she cant hold a candle to Ivettes evaluation of Janelles bad aura, though.
The circle of talking is hard to follow. As soon as April is out of the room, Ivette and Maggie fume that April doesnt know what its like to be on the block. Oh, she will, swears Ivette bitterly. As soon as April and Maggie are alone, they tear Ivette to bits. When Beau is with Maggie and Ivette, he says he would cry if he had to vote for Maggie but booting out April wouldnt bother him. When theyre all together, they focus on Janelle as their target. Yeah, Im ready for a double eviction this week - heck, Im ready for Jamess proposal that the next competition be a hand grenade toss that disqualifies four houseguests!
The houseguests huddle and go over HOH trivia all night, testing each others knowledge. Janelle tries to spy on the group in the Gold Room, but they notice her by the fishtank. Its not like anyone has any surprises to pull out at this late date. Both groups review house trivia late into the night.
Th-th-th-thats All, Folks!
The hamsters were woken at the ungodly hour of 7:30 A.M., a time of day not witnessed by many of the houseguests the entire summer. Big Brother had a little fun with the theme music, we learn, having played Another One Bites the Dust and the Looney Tunes theme. You gotta love that wacky omniscient voyeur, BB.
The houseguests were all grumpy. Not only were they woken up early, the producers told them to dress casually for a competition starting in thirty minutes. They blearily complied, only to find themselves waiting for an agonizingly long time to be called into action.
Howie and Janelle spend their last moments in the HOH room, playing with the light sabers. Howie is clearly finding strength in his new toys, cracking Star Wars-related quips and finding parallels to their current situation. He warns Janie that the Nerd Herd is coming after us, but that the Veto is strong with her. He vows to strike down every houseguest with his mighty Jedi powers. Its hokey, but entertaining.
Downstairs, Maggie is reliving the moment when Julie Chen read a fans letter saying she looked great. She wanted to reply that she found someone to give her 15 pounds to, making it clear she means Janelle. Do you think that sly little jab will make it to the edited show?
The houseguests are told to stay near the glass door, so the conversation turns to general talk suitable for mixed (Sov/Friendship) company. They wonder who will host the POV competition since they will all be participating. As they talk a vapid blonde pops onto one of the camera feeds. Could it be? The squeaky-voiced caked-on makeup wearer herself of Big Brother 5? Yes, you guessed it - Holly has appeared! She is shown being instructed by a producer how to host a game involving oversized poker chips with houseguest pictures on them.
In a few minutes, a voice can be heard asking the group inside if they are ready, and Maggie jokes that she thought they went home. And with that, the fish tanks slam into place, along with a notice that they will be blocked until Saturday evening. Look at it this way - do you really want any more exposure to Holly than is necessary? Weve got a buxom blonde and a busted blonde in the house - is there room for one more bleach-bottle user vying center stage? Nah.

It's not often that Lost in Showbiz asks you, the reader, to dig deep into your pockets and support a charitable cause, but this week it felt impelled to do so. Its philanthropic bent was pricked by news of a situation that no one else seemed to be addressing: the plight of Jermaine Jackson, a man Lost in Showbiz has had a vast amount of respect for ever since he claimed that if he slept without a light on, he was visited by "people from 1800". He was apparently trapped in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. According to reports, his passport expired while he was visiting the West African country and, under Californian law, he couldn't be issued with a new one until he paid outstanding child support amounting to almost £62,000 to his former wife Alejandra, for their two fairly astonishingly named children Jaafar Jeremiah Jackson and Jermajesty Jermaine Jackson.
The tension in this dire situation was ratcheted up further by events back at what the media persist in referring to as The Jackson Family Compound in Encino, California, where Alejandra and children – two by Jermaine and two by his brother Randy, oh do keep up – appears to be engaged in some kind of Transatlantic Celebrity Squatting Challenge with Alex "The Reidinator" Reid, refusing to budge despite a court order demanding she leave so that building work can take place. Earlier this week, The Reidinator appeared to have edged ahead in the dignity stakes by complaining that his wife was telling people he was "living in a cupboard", but that was before Alejandra threatened to make her own reality TV series, which as far as Lost in Showbiz can gather, will, by necessity, essentially consist of footage of her sitting in the garage singing We Shall Not Be Moved.
Lost in Showbiz was all ready to dismiss suggestions that if that was waiting for you back home, you too might strongly consider the benefits of "losing" your passport in Burkina Faso, when it learned that Jermaine had been spotted, apparently not in Africa any more, but in Cannes: perhaps those suggestions had a point after all. Cancelling the telethon, Lost in Showbiz still fears the situation at The Jackson Family Compound could escalate into a terrifying David Koresh-style siege situation. It looks on aghast at the prospect of Waco Jacko and wonders what it can do to help.

Man Utd once again crested the pinnacle. Arsenal played a much improved game and at moments looked threatening but Utd was far too strong defensively to let this game go. The draw was enough for the Premiership title.
RVP had Arsenal's best chance of the match. It should have been a sure goal but he mistimed the header and the ball went sailing harmlessly over the crossbar. Its been a frustrating season for him with injuries and a loss of form. Fabianski was solid, snuffing out Ronaldo and Tevez's dangerous moves in the box. At the opposite end, Rooney could have put Man Utd ahead but his header missed the near post by inches. The Gunners piled on the pressure in the last quarter of the match with Fabregas coming close as his shot hit the woodwork but finally time ran out.
Tevez was substituted and the Argentinian walked off with Old Trafford chanting his name calling Sir Alex to keep him in the club. He could not have asked for a better vote of confidence.
It was Man Utd's 18th title, 11 of them Premiership, and they now equal Liverpool's record. Rafa Benitez can live in a world of denial but the fact is that their challenge came to an end today.
Congratulations to Man Utd. Once again the club as its wont, overcame moments of doubt, pulling themselves up, through sheer force of character and desire, to win. I have to say as integral as Ronaldo is to the club's success, it is Wayne Rooney who is the fiercest spirit of them all.

Once upon a time there was a (supposedly) golden age when politicians made announcements on the floor of the House of Commons.
In recent times – although ministers pretend otherwise – the convention has been for ministers to make important statements on the Today programme or in the pages of the Murdoch press.
And this week we've seen the emergence of an interesting new alternative, involving ministers making announcements by video. It's government by YouTube.
As we reported yesterday, Alistair Darling has posted a message on YouTube explaining why the budget will be about preparing for the future.
Today, Gordon Brown made a much more important announcement in a video on the Downing Street website (it's not quite YouTube, but it's the same idea).
The Darling video is not exactly riveting – it had only had 2,671 hits when I last looked – but it's much better than Brown's effort, which was a bit of a car crash and which is now attracting some derision in the blogosphere.
As you can see for yourself, Brown ruins it by smiling inappropriately in all the wrong places.
If you try playing it for a second time and shut your eyes, you'll realise that the words are actually rather good.
"In public service not for what they can get, but for what they can give" (Brown's line about MPs) is a lovely piece of phrase-making.
Darling came across as more natural because he sounded as though he was responding to a question posed by an unseen interviewer.
Brown needs to try a similar approach.
More interesting is the issue of why Darling and Brown are using this tactic at all.
And the answer's quite simple – it's about bypassing the media and communicating directly with the voters.
There is still something unusual about government by YouTube, and BBC News 24 played the whole Brown video in full, which meant viewers could listen to what he had said without Nick Robinson or someone else butting in and asking awkward questions about why he had performed a complete U-turn.
At some point, presumably, the novelty will wear off and YouTube videos will become as unremarkable as press releases.
Until then, expect to see a few more of them, but – ideally – without the silly smiles.

not my favorite
By E on the El
from Boise, ID
I don't really like this bone folder because the pointed end is squared-off on the sides and not rounded. I foresee lots of problems using the tip to smooth and push gently into corners--it's too sharp and likely to cut soft or wet paper. The rounded end is all right.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

SAN DIEGO — The smile still comes easy for Derek Jeter. It is genuine, a connection point. But everything else is so difficult these days.
Jeter has been shut down again, this time because of discomfort in his right calf and hamstring.
"You have to be smart about things,'' Jeter told The Post before the Yankees' 3-0 win over the Padres at a sold-out Petco Park. "We have like 50 games left, so you have to be smart about it.''
When I mentioned to Jeter that David Wright was sent to the disabled list with a strained hamstring, Jeter, 39, asked, "Did he get hurt because he's old?
"Things happen in baseball,'' he added.
Things keep happening to Jeter.
"It didn't look too good,'' Jeter said Friday night of his awkward slide in the first inning of a 7-2 loss. "I was going to stand up, so I decided to slide and slow down. It's fine. I thought it might be easier just to slide as opposed to break it down, so I was confused.''
It is not often that Jeter is confused or looks awkward on the baseball field, but these are the adjustments he is going through as he comes back from a twice fractured ankle and a quad injury and now other leg problems. He has played just five games this season and is hitting .211.
Jeter remains a Yankees icon. He remains the Yankees' anti-A-Rod.
If Alex Rodriguez does make it back to the Yankees in Chicago to play against the White Sox, it will be fascinating to hear the boos from the crowd for Rodriguez and the cheers for Jeter.
Even though both are on the last legs of their careers, Jeter represents baseball class while Rodriguez, who never has been really able to relate to teammates, fans or the media, is considered a pariah by many in and around the game. Though Curtis Granderson, after hitting a two-run home run last night, said of A-Rod, "I'm excited to see him.''
When Jeter was asked about A-Rod's inflammatory comments about Yankees' management, he smartly sidestepped the issue.
A-Rod came to the Yankees hoping he would develop the same loving relationship with the fans that Jeter possesses. That never happened for a multitude of reasons.
Yes, A-Rod remains the "pink elephant'' in the room. Jeter remains the classy Yankee, much like Joe DiMaggio was for his fans.
That is the ultimate irony here. As hard as A-Rod tried, and despite a career in which he accumulated 647 home runs, he will never be loved by the Yankees' fans. He will always remain the outsider and his steroid-stained career is forever linked to the Biogenesis scandal.
Everything A-Rod seems to do is awkward.
Jeter clears every hurdle that comes his way and he is known to do it in the most dramatic of fashions like his welcome-back home run on the first pitch to him last Sunday.
Still, Jeter has some big problems. He does not look right in the field and he has all these issues with his legs. Joe Girardi is deeply concerned, which is why the manager decided to sit Jeter the rest of the series here, knowing he has the designated hitter to use tomorrow in Chicago.
"You have to battle,'' Jeter said. "Winning isn't easy. We need to find ways to get the job done.''
When someone mentioned to Jeter on Friday that Yankees shortstops have hit .210 this season with a 25-percent strikeout rate, Jeter smiled and said, "I didn't strike out tonight, so the percentage is going to go down, right? I hope I can help, that's the plan. You can't change anything that has happened to this point. We've got to move forward. All these games we have played, good and bad, are behind us and we need to play good from this point forward.
"Everyone needs to play better.''
All true. In Jeter's case, he just has to get out on the field and play.

You are invited to visit us at Fighting Bob Fest 2013 this weekend, where we are unveiling the Wisconsin Progressive Freedom Campaign…
"We CAN win the messaging war!"
Forward Institute is spearheading a new, collaborative effort with progressive organizations and grassroots groups to take back Freedom for Progressives.
"What is this campaign all about?"
The Wisconsin Progressive Freedom Campaign (WPFC) is a broad effort that has no precedent in Wisconsin or the US. For decades, progressives have been mere observers as conservatives have dominated messaging and communications on politics and policy. Through the WPFC, we will counter that dominance, and reclaim a value that has always represented progressives – Freedom.
"Who is involved?"
Forward Institute is partnering with progressive organizations, individuals, and statewide grassroots organizations to create a long-term, multi-pronged structure for communications and values-based messaging on progressive issues. Consulting is Cognitive Science and Messaging expert George Lakoff from the University of California-Berkeley.
"How will it work?"
WPFC creates a four-pronged structure to address significant needs in progressive policy messaging and communications. Each will serve internal and external needs for partner organizations and all progressives statewide:
1. "Framers and Trainers" – Core group trained as messaging experts and trainers for work with grassroots and policy organizations statewide.
2. "Research" – Unique capacity to conduct independent, academic quality research on progressive policy issues to ensure accurate, authentic messaging. Also serves as resource for grassroots groups without research capacity.
3."Strategic Communications/Booking Agents" – Creates capacity through multiple media formats to disseminate values-based messaging. This segment works to educate key media in progressive values policy language. Assemble and train issue experts on progressive values language for media appearances and contact.
4. "Social Forums/Donor Development" – Creates and plans social event forums with featured speakers to engage the public on progressive values and issues. Engages donor development through direct interaction with the WPFC, potential donors, research, and messaging on policy issues.
"How can I help?"
1. Donate to our secure pay pal account below to support this critical and progressive effort. Forward Institute is a 501(c)(3) organization.
2. Follow Forward Institute to stay informed about this important campaign, and check our website often – look for the "Wisconsin Progressive Freedom Campaign" tab.
3. Email us to get involved with the Wisconsin Progressive Freedom Campaign: firstname.lastname@example.com
4. Visit us at Fighting Bob Fest to get more information!
Through a collaborative, consistent, authentic, and values-based messaging campaign – we WILL reclaim FREEDOM for PROGRESSIVES!

Well, just call me Mr. Silly
6 comments post a comment
I'm feeling a bit like Mr. Silly at the moment, because I just read this week's email newsletter from This is True...
As we all know (unless weve been living under a rock), Mr. Silly is a character in the Mr. Men children's book series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Silly is from Nonsense Land, where the leaves on the trees are red and the grass is blue. Hes known for doing outlandish things. (Don't ask me how it is that I know stuff like this... my head is jam-packed with useless knowledge.)
The thing is that Im feeling a bit like Mr. Silly myself at the moment, because I just read this weeks email newsletter from This is True (www.thisistrue.com), whose tagline is "Truth is Stranger than Fiction Because Fiction Has to Make Sense."
Created by Randy Cassingham, this free weekly email newsletter contains a bunch of stories based on bizarre-but-true news items from legitimate news outlets from around the world. Im sure that like me you sign up for email newsletters that you end up rarely reading, because theres so much to do and so little time to do it all in. Having said this, I always make the time to read the This is True newsletter, because it both informs and entertains me.
The point is that sometime last year I wrote a column about a company called Eternal Earthbound Pets. The idea is that their employees are certified atheists, so when the rapture comes and the faithful are called up to heaven, the folks from Eternal Earthbound Pets will look after the pets that are left behind (assuming their owners have paid the requisite fee, of course).
I have to admit that I fully believed this tale, so you can only imagine my surprise when I read the following item in this weeks This is True newsletter:
The Wheels of Democracy Grind Slowly: When the lay radio preacher Harold Camping decreed that the world would end on May 21, 2011, Bart Centre sensed an opportunity. An atheist, Centre announced his company, Eternal Earthbound Pets, would, for $135, provide "certified atheists" to take care of the left-behind pets of the faithful who were raptured. The retired New Hampshire man's wacky response to Camping's wacky Bible interpretation caught worldwide attention, with news coverage as far away as New Zealand. A joke? Well obviously, but Centre is getting the word out to the media it was a joke -- really, really, really. Why? Because Centre has now been subpoenaed by his state's Insurance Department, which demands copies of any applications he received for the service so they can see "whether he is engaged in the unlicensed business of [selling] insurance in New Hampshire." (Washington Post) ...I just got a great idea for a new product: satire insurance.
So, as I say, call me Mr. Silly. The truth really is stranger than fiction. Although its also true that stranger things happen at sea, as my dear old grandfather used to say, and he should know because he was a sailor man and boy, but that's another story...

With Faith
- Artist: José James
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 6/8/2004
|your cart is empty
José James and I met in Panama, many years ago. I have a vivid memory of a young, very thin, flute player, always enthusiastic, and eager to learn, with a wonderful smile and a gregarious disposition. He possessed a tremendous amount of confidence in his playing, and would try anything in the way of experimentation, never afraid of the new, always challenging the established. Almost a lifetime later, here's José again, his curiosity intact, his energy and disposition as strong as ever, on the road he never abandoned, always searching, always trying. José is my friend, always has been. But he's also a peer, one I've always respected and admired. An original, Jose's music speaks from the heart. Adelante José, salud y suerte siempre. -Rubén Blades Los Angeles,CA 2004.
