Phenom II?
It would be nice to see the article updated after re-testing with a Phenom II, which is much more similar to the Intel processor used.
There was a time, not so long ago, when integrated graphics were so feeble they couldn't pull the metaphorical skin off a rice pudding. Broadly speaking, the integrated graphics processor (IGP) was fit for little more than the two-dimensional Windows desktop, and a graphics card was necessary if you wanted to play games. intel …
It would be nice to see the article updated after re-testing with a Phenom II, which is much more similar to the Intel processor used.
You indicated that using a Athlon X2 4850e would save approximately 20 watts compared to using a Athlon 64 X2 7750 processor. The 4850e is rated at a maximum power consumption of 45 Watts compared to the 95 Watts of the 7750. This would appear to save around 40 Watts.
The effect woudl be that the Athlon X2 4850e with the ATI 3300 integrated graphics would draw around 90 Watts under load and less when idle.
You also have another error in that the specific MSI motherborad withATI 3300 integrated graphics includes 1 GB of side port graphics memory which will increase power usage.
I considered using Phenom II for this feature - I'm writing the review for El Reg right now - but shied away on the grounds of cost. The 3GHz Phenom II X4 940 costs £220 which puts it up against the 2.66GHz Core 2 Quad Q9400 and I'm not sure that either processor is necessary for a PC that has integrated graphics.
I have previously used the X2 4850e in testing for other reviews and those figures are the basis for my observation that the power saving is 20W and that the performance hit is 20 percent.
These are my own measured figures and are not manufacturer's figures.
As for SidePort I have seen some bold claims for this on-board graphics memory but have never seen any measurable effect, either in terms of performance of in terms of power draw.
That may be due at least in part to my practice of rounding power figures to the nearest 5W.
Finally you took the crayons away from the monkey. More of these please, I can actually see which product is fastest.
I still hope AMD/ATI & nVidia could come up an ultra low wattage quad displays capable, dgital/analog/hdmi mixed chipset for the low cost built-in mobo so the whole world will be able to afford the multi-displays gaming luxuary at own home.
But of course, ATI & nVidia long for the day when they can give away the farm cheap instead of having quad display gamers buy a video card. Perish the thought of paying more for more features.
About the CPU, these boards really should've been fitted with the slowest CPUs that weren't completely castrated with less than 1MB L2 cache, otherwise it's a bit silly talking about power consumption and someone cheaping out on the video tends to do the same on the processor. Regardless, at least we had more than a small amount of assurance the processor (nevermind the memory bus??) itself wasn't a bottleneck for the video benchmarks.
Um... My brain is a little slow today... which these of motherboards would be best for building a cheapish, cool and QUIET media centre PC? Or would a Playstation 3 (at 250 GBP) be better for this task?
Is it me or are the only whiners here the AMD fanboyz?
I don't really care for speed, but I need to know which maximum resolution is supported? Can I, for example connect 2 30" LCDs onto an Intel board with 2 DVI connectors? Do know that I have to know which resolutions the chipset supports.
If you're looking for a motherboard that uses an SiS chipset, the Intel D201GLY2/2A (with embedded 1.3GHz Celeron CPU) would be one choice. I got one and was really pretty impressed with what it could do, especially considering the limited processing power it has.
Integrated graphics are OK in my book, even if they don't perform all that well. It bothers me that the graphics options from nVidia and ATI either have huge heatsinks or cook themselves into an early grave. I've never lost an integrated graphics chipset...compared to a few ATI and nVidia boards that just got too hot.

Mendes has been on a tear since being finished in his title-fight with Jose Aldo nearly two years ago, picking up five wins including four by way of a strike-based stoppage. In reality, he deserves another crack at the championship and would be wise to hold out for the winner of Aldo-Ricardo Lamas. If that option never materializes based on an injury, controversial outcome, or Aldo receiving an immediate rematch in defeat, the only other logical adversary at this point is Cub Swanson. The Greg Jackson MMA product has also come out of his last five fights with a raised hand, isn't on tap for a tilt at the moment, and went the distance with Mendes a few years ago while both were under WEC's banner.

Finding a UFC win lacking significance is akin to the proverbial needle in a haystack. However, there's no question some victories have a larger impact on either a division or the involved individual than others. Such was certainly the case at UFC on FOX 9 where a few underdogs stepped up to the plate and knocked one out of the park, seasoned veterans rose to the occasion, and flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson turned in his best performance to date.

James Gillray etchings, 1777-1811 (1777-89)
The Heinz Archive holds a significant collection of James Gillray prints, bound in 8 folio volumes, including an 'outsize' album containing some of the artist's largest and most impressive caricatures. The volumes, purchased in 1947 from the print/book dealer Thomas Thorp, came from the collections of Ralph Clutton and John Roland Abbey (1894-1969), whose bookplates appear within each volume. The 846 prints represent approximately 90% of Gillray's entire oeuvre and include many of his most ambitious creations, such as 'Titianus Redivivus' (1797) and 'Shakespeare Sacrificed' (1789) as well as a number of his less familiar non-satirical items such as the engraving of William Pitt (1789). The prints are invariably in excellent condition and the hand-colouring retains its original vibrancy.

Fire came to the
This fire came to the fire hall at Rosemount Monday night about 10 p.m. when a semi-trailer caught fire and stopped at the department's doorstep. Above photo shows the Monson Dray Line's semi, from Zumbrota, which was bound with general freight from the Twin Cities to Faribault. The driver, Herb Hinrichs, said he stopped for the Rosemount stop sign, looked in the mirror, and noticed the trailer afire.
As he drove past the Rose Bowl Café, Nick Fox of the Rosemount fire department happened to look out and see it burning also. The driver stopped near the fire hall and unhooked his tractor, while the smokeaters doused the cargo with foam.
The stiff north breeze made fire-fighting difficult, and traffic was re-routed from the main street. Residents noted a terrific odor. Enroute back to the cities, leaking barrels containing the substance used to make natural gas "stink", caused residents along the route to suspect a gas leak. The substance is so powerful only a cup of it is used to odorize a million cubic feet of natural gas.
Besides the odorizer, the load had contained chemicals, paint, cigarettes, clothes and general freight. Most of the load was destroyed.

HOLLY LANE Toni Blake
A Destiny Novel
November 2011
Contemporary Romance
Destiny, Ohio Present Day
The past several months have been difficult for Sue Ann Simpkins after her sudden split (and divorce) from Jeff when he found another woman. All Sue Ann wants is for her daughter Sophie to enjoy the holidays despite the fact that their lives are different from a year ago. The Thanksgiving weekend is going to be especially hard as Sophie stays with her dad as part of his visitation rights, so Sue Ann decides to spend it in a cabin at a nearby lake for some time alone. But after she arrives, Sue Ann discovers her idyllic time is going to be shared by Jeff's best friend, Adam Becker, who also rented the cabin. A sudden snowstorm and Sue Ann's soft heart leads to Adam spending the night.
Adam thinks Sue Ann is a beautiful, wonderful person and he can't see why Jeff was stupid enough to leave her. Adam has his own problems as a single dad and came up to the cabin to spend time alone after his boys are whisked by his ex to Colorado for the entire holiday. He misses them, but Sue Ann's sweet nature and his attraction to her has his weekend suddenly turning bright. Before either Sue Ann or Adam knows what's hit them, they're having sex. Sue Ann puts the brake on any future trysts, even as Adam wants to entertain the idea of a relationship with her. But can there be any future with a womanwhose heart still hurts from the breakup of her marriagefor a man who represents the past with her ex?
Sue Ann's world came crashing down when Jeff left her for another woman. Slowly and surely she's worked her way through the pain to begin another life as a single mother, but the holidays are proving to be a tough barrier to hurdle. Going away to an isolated cabin to mope in her tears and fears has her coming face to face with a man from her formerly happy life
Adam. Despite everything, Adam continues to be nice and helpful to Sue Ann, yet that weekend something changes in their relationship. While she never looked at Adam as other than a friend, suddenly he's a desirable man and they can barely keep their hands off each other. Afterwards, Sue Ann feels as if she's betrayed their friendship and lets him know they can't do this again. But Sue Ann and Adam continue to run into each other, which of course, leads to more passionate encounters.
Adam finds himself torn between a woman he desires, Sue Ann, and a lifelong friendship with Jeff. Add in the fact that Jeff wants Adam to testify in a court hearing about stopping Sue Ann's alimony payments, and he's caught between a rock and a hard place. Can he have any kind of future with Sue Ann once she's ready, or should they just remain friends? Clearly he can't have it both ways. Adam works his way through the holidays as a man many in Destiny look to for help. First he's disguised as a reindeer, where he's flirting with Sue Ann. Then he is Santa Claus and promising Sophie a reindeer for Christmas. This promise, of course, gets Sue Ann angry, because she's trying to make it the best Christmas she can for Sophie, and broken promises from Santa aren't part of the plan. As Christmas draws closer for Sue Ann and Adam, the harder it becomes for them to ignore their feelings. But dare they take the next step?
Toni Blake has penned a truly wonderful tale in HOLLY LANE that is filled with the holiday spirit, romance and, of course, a happily-ever-after is destined for a couple who thought their lives were swirling downward despite the time of the season. If you're looking for a fun, sexy, and uplifting book to read for the holidays, then I highly recommend that you put HOLLY LANE right there at the top of the list.

New Tendencies in the Economic Growth of EC and USA: Comparative Analysis
Based on key macroeconomic indexes (real GDP per capita, labor productivity, share of costs from GDP for information and communication technologies (ICT), costs in the R&D sector, education and training, etc.), analyzed are the dynamic changes in the economic potentials of USA and EC. Central part occupies the rationalizing of the tendency from convergence towards divergence from the middle of the 90s in the development of the two most powerful centers in the world economy. Analyzed are the conditions and factors for the front running dynamics of the US economy, the challenges for Europe, the institutional and structural weaknesses of the national economies of EU, the question for the choice of catching up growth strategy and perspectives for emerging of "new economy".

I had to put that disclaimer about BdC because otherwise I'd get 50 responses that all say BdC!

In terms of the hotel itself, I would say Ylang Ylang in Montezuma.
But, when you factor in the giant volcano across the river, I'd go for the Arenal Observatory Lodge (which I realize is not perfect and has its flaws).
Report Abuse
There are certainly several possibilities but my favourite is the Savegre Valley and especially Savegre Lodge. I'm a birder, so the Quetzals are certainly a big 'plus' here, as are the other wonderful birds. Beyond that is the beautiful scenery, with the Rio Savegre tumbling down out of an absolutely magnificent oak - bamboo cloud forest. I also love the cool, fresh air [40 degrees F at dawn]and the tranquility of the place.
There is always a sense of adventure and anticipation as we descend down the narrow winding road into that little valley
and each visit has been memorable.
Another reason I love this place is that it is Tico owned and operated by people [the Chacon family] who are filled with pride in their country and their wonderful valley. So many of the other places we visit are owned and /or operated by outsiders, but this is a Costa Rican owned and operated lodge.
I almost 'hate' to say much about this area when I see what has happened to Costa Rica's Pacific coast - over run with throngs of tourists. But perhaps this area's relative isolation will help save it for the future.

Ylang Ylang Resort. Small, friendly,family run resort(14 rooms, I believe), beautiful location,lots of wildlife on property, so close to the ocean, the waves keep you up at night! Great value when you factor in the gourmet meals!

Okay. I will play. But I think the regulars on this board already know my answer. Monteverde!
I love everything about it. I live in New Orleans, which can be extremely hot and humid. I love going to the mountaintop in July, and wearing jeans and a fleece.
I love the community there. There are Quakers, of course. But is a very accepting place. You sometimes see some very unusual people walking along the road. Lots of young people have been showing up lately. We went to the Christmas sale at the Monteverde Friend's School last November. We were surprised to meet dozens for 30ish people selling their crafts. We have our group of friends there, but are not there often enough or long enough to establish other friendships. (Maybe that will change when my wife's pension is fully vested!).
The local Ticos are great, and there is a bit of an International community as well. I have mentioned our new favorite restaurant and chocolate shop in previous postings. The Argentinean woman who owns it is an absolute delight.
I love the sunsets, and the mountain views. I love the rainbows. On our last trip down the mountain, we saw over a dozen rainbows. We counted them! The first was a tiny one in our front yard. Half of them were along the road, before we got to Santa Elena. The rest were on the road down to the Pan Am highway.
I love just hanging out and enjoying the cool, lush woods. They are not silent. The wind, the rain, the birds, and the occasional monkey all contribute to an ever changing soundscape. We have a small patio at our house there, and I always make time to read a book there and just listen to the nature.
My wife and I have an annual tradition, that we are going to unfortunately miss this year. We have to delay our usual Easter trip by a few weeks.
For the last few Easter Sundays, we make the twenty minute drive down to the San Luis valley. We park our car, and take the easy hike back to the San Luis waterfall. This is a beautiful tall two stage waterfall. We usually bring a couple of beers and a snack. We have never attempted this walk in the rainy season. I think that the trail may be a little too treacherous, so we might miss it when we go in May. But I know we will think about it, while we celebrate Easter here in New Orleans.
Sorry this ran so long! Now I really want to go! Gotta wait til May.
Warm Regards,

I just realized I didn't answer my own question. I adore Arenal - watching the lava flow is just amazing to me. And I also love the Cano Negro tour and Eco Termales hot springs. The Lost Iguana is our favorite spot, but next trip I might try the Arenal Observatory Lodge for a night or two. I'm loving reading all your answers.

I loved hiking the trails in Tapanti National Park, not far from Orosi. Super lush, with endless rushing creeks and waterfalls.
I have always wanted to go to Montezuma and the Cloudbridge Preserve...now I've added Savegre and Monteverde to my list. I guess I should check out Bosque del Cabo as well.
Report Abuse
LOL--don't DO this to me, vgirl!
Savegre--yes, yes, yes--for all the same reasons!
Tapanti, agree with that one, too!
Rancho Naturalista--the trails, the morning birding on the big deck, the food--I gain just looking at it. Well, actually, I do a little more than look. .
Tortuguero--so peaceful on the rivers (when the drug boats aren't running. . .!!)
Conchal/Flamingo area--Guanacaste, for sunsets/beautiful beaches
Hotel--Peace Lodge always a huge treat--love the balconies and the view
I could go on. . .this is an unanswerable question for me!

I forgot about Tapanti. I have only been once, and want to go back to explore it more thoroughly.
Great old church, interesting international community, undiscovered cloud forest. Very interesting, and under explored area.

shillmac, how many trips does it take to see it all?!
Report Abuse
hmm... If i had to pick it would be the Osa. For me you can not beat the beach/ jungle combo.
Report Abuse
Soooo.....I can't pick Bosque There are many places I have loved & liked, none I would not return to - they all offered something different and beautiful. I guess I would have to say the Golfo Dulce area, Sarapiqui area, Bajos del Toro & Poas/La Paz area are all near the top.
Report Abuse
I loved how it felt like we were the only people on many of the beaches in Malpais (Nicoya Peninsula), it was beautiful. Loved the down-to-earth and not touristy atmosphere of the surfing community near Playa Carmen.
Report Abuse
Tortuguero and Monteverde are my top two picks - don't really care as much about which hotel as long as they are clean and safe, not there long enough, too busy with activities!
Places I want to explore next time - Savegre Valley area, maybe Rancho Naturalista, Rio Celeste area, would love to get down to Wilson Botanical Garden one day, need more time at Selva Verde/La Selva area. How many more trips will all of this take?!
Report Abuse
Still having fun reading all your replies. colibri, I think we're going to try Tortuguero this trip.
tully, okay everyone can pick BdC if they throw in a second destination - that only seems fair.
Report Abuse
VG - am trying to get some time for a trip report, but we LOVED Tortuguero and Modesto Watson - highly, highly recommend going with him. If you want something more upscale than Laguna Lodge (which we all were very happy with), he can arrange your stay at any of the lodges in the area.
Report Abuse
colibri, I am SO thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time on the Riverboat Francesca with Modesto. Someone else seemed to have a less than stellar experience with Modesto, and that was a concern as I had recommended him and Fran. We thought our time with him absolutely could not have been better spent. And agree Laguna Lodge was fine. We spent less time in that room than in almost any hotel we've stayed, therefore it didn't need to be too deluxe.
vg, how many trips? I don't know. I suppose if one didn't return to their favorites (as we are wont to do) time and again, one could get a pretty good tour of the country in 2-3 months, with several days stay in most locations. You've got:
4-5 areas in the northwest, including Rincon;
Arenal area including Volcan Tenorio and Rio Celeste, Cano Negro area;
central Pacific beaches;
southern Nicoya Peninsula;
Osa Golfo Dulce side;
Osa Drake Bay side;
south of Golfito area (Zancudo, Pavones);
Wilson Botanical Garden area near San Vito;
north of there to Buenas Aires, San Isidro;
Savegre/Chirripo/Cerro de la Muerte areas;
San Jose city and immediate surrounding area;
Orosi Valley/Tapanti/Irazu/Turrialba/Cartago areas;
areas north of Alajuela and Heredia to include La Paz and Poas;
Sarapiqui area;
southern Caribbean;
south of airport area around Puriscal, near Ama Tierra hotel and on toward Orotina (not much going on there, but it is an area)
And no mention of La Amistad area and probably others I've overlooked, little in-between places that are wonderful.
Estimating 70 days or so. . .it would take awhile!
We've still got Zancudo/Pavones on our list. Rafting the Pacuare. Seeing La Amistad either from CR or Panama. Would love to be fit enough for a climb up Chirripo, but fear I'd get started and not be able to finish.

The Parque Corcovado on the Osa is my favorite place to view nature. You have beautiful unspoiled beaches and pristine tropical jungle. If you want to see wildlife this is the place to go for a hike. But, be quiet or you'll miss out on seeing many of the animals. As you are walking, listen for twigs snaping. Stop, and look in the direction of the sound. Out of the jungle will emerge strange looking animals like Jacaranda, Coati, Tamandua and a bunch more.
I also love surfing Pavones!
Playa Grande is where I have chosen to live. Its an incredible beach with great waves for surfing. Its close enough to everything that I need, but still remote enough to satisfy my need for solitude.

We have only been once but we loved the area around Arenal volcano. We wish we would have spent more time there and less time in the Guanacaste region, which we also enjoyed very much.

During turtle season, check out Luna Azul near Playa Ostional.
Other places in Central America:
The Lodge at Pico Bonito, Honduras
The cabins at Los Quetzales Ecolodge, near Cerro Punta, Panama (imagine having Monteverde to yourself, and it's twice as good as that)
Will probably have at least 1-2 to add after our trip in February.

La Carolina in Costa Rica, near Rincon de la Vieja. Sweet little lodge lit by candlelight ( electricity now as well), on a river with wood-fired Jacuzzis. shillmac (above) is the one who told us about this spot.

Puerto Viejo because you can bike all up and down the coast through the rainforest, there are no big hotels, and there are plenty of howler monkeys all around. Loved Banana Azul but preferred the location of Namuwoki.
Dominical would be my second choice, but we rented a house there. Scenery was so dramatic with wide beaches with very few people on them and mountains rising up right behind the beaches.

RAC, yes Honduras looks great, and I loved reading about Pico Bonito. Roatan appeals to me too.
Cat, I always hear good things about La Carolina - it sounds charming.
janie, always hear about Banana Azul, but haven't heard of Namuwoki - I'll have to check that one out. Does Dominical have a lot of organized activities? What would you recommend doing there?

We're in the same boat. Which places have you stayed in? Agree that it's all pretty great!

I see Savegre Lodge is mentioned. It is in the cloud forest so can be cold but the area is beautiful and the best place to see Resplendant Quetzals.
In Dominical there is Shelter From the Storm, a B&B that gets top marks on TripAdvisor. Nearby you can see the Whale Tale park, visit Hacienda Baru, do the horses to Nauyaca Falls (btw I thought the horses were not well taken care of, if that matters). The beaches tend to be narrow when it is low tide.

Volcanogirl, there are a lot of organized activities in the Dominical/Uvita area. If you go to the Uvita forum on TA, there is a link to tour operators in the Uvita area under the Top Questions heading. We loved the Nauyaca Falls horseback tour. If we go back to that area, I would like to go riding on the beach at Rancho LaMerced. Another tour not specifically mentioned on the TA list is to take a boat ride down the Sierpe River.
What I enjoyed the most was being able to explore all of the different beaches along the coast. Driving around there is not difficult. TikiVillas, Oxygen Villas, and Rancho Pacifico are all higher end places that get good reviews.
As far as on the Caribbean side, check out puertoviejosatellite.com for great information about tours and maps of the area. There are many different places to stay that get great reviews.

More Americans started working in September than forecast, and figures for the previous two months were revised, helping to ease the concern the economy is heading into another recession, according to Bloomberg.
American employers added 103,000 net jobs in September after adding 57,000 in August, the Labor Department announced Friday, but the unemployment rate remains at 9.1 percent.Comment on this story
Regional and state unemployment rates were generally little changed in August, the most recent month figures are available.
Utah's August unemployment rate of 7.6 percent is lower than the national rate, but rose slightly from 7.5 percent in July. Utah tied with Wyoming for the second largest over-the-year percentage increase in the U.S. of 3 percent, according to a Labor Department report.
The government will release new regional and state unemployment figures Oct. 21.

Gosselin: Jerry Jones' sideline visit was a 'photo op'; Jason Garrett didn't need his help
Catch SportsDay On Air twice per week on Fox Sports Southwest, when Dallas Morning News experts discuss hot sports topics from the Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars, Rangers and colleges (check out TV listings for air times). Here are a few highlights from Monday's episode featuring Rick Gosselin and Brandon George:
On Jerry Jones going to the sidelines during the Eagles game:
George: It obviously didn't look good for Jason Garrett. Jerry said earlier that he wanted to update them on the Jets/Giants game, he said this afternoon that he was part of the decision making. He said that Jason can make that decision [of whether or not to keep the Cowboys' starters in], and he does make that decision, but he didn't want him to make it by himself. It doesn't look good for your head coach not to be able to make that decision by himself.
I don't buy any of it. I think it's insulting to Jason Garrett that [Jerry Jones] has to
go down there. First off, to update him on the progress on the Giants game when
he has coaches already in the press box? [Garrett]'s a guy who's a Princeton
grad. There's 90,000 people in the building — he's probably the smartest guy in
the building — and you've got to tell him that the Giants lost and he should
stop trying. That's insulting to Jason Garrett. And also, why do it on the
sideline? Why do it as a photo op? If you've got something to say to your head
coach, go to the coaching box, get on the headset and tell him there. Why show
the man up on the sidelines during the course of the football game? That was
not a place for Jerry Jones.
On whether the Cowboys should've had a game plan in place if the Giants won:
Gosselin: I'm sure they did. Jason Garrett was in total control of the situation. He didn't need Jerry Jones to come down there. Jason Garrett's a bright guy. If it comes down to it and the game means nothing, he's not going to get all his players hurt. Of course not.
George: They definitely had a game plan. I think it kind of changed some when Romo gets hurt. Obviously, Jerry's going to jump in and kind of take over there. He went into the athletic trainer's room and he was looking at the X-rays and he was a part of all that. So I think when Romo was hurt, the game plan changed a little bit and he wanted to make sure that Romo was on the sideline.

City Manager Bob Cass refused Tuesday to return Police Chief Ken Walker to work in response to an employment grievance re questing the chief's reinstatement and a public declaration clearing his name.
In a written ruling, Cass said he stands behind his decision to place Walker on paid leave during the investigation of a fatal police SWAT operation.
"I believe that putting you on administrative leave was appropriate in light of the seriousness of the incident," Cass wrote. "It was done in order to give me additional time to investigate this matter."
Cass said Tuesday he is close to concluding his investigation of the July 13 incident, during which an officer accidentally shot and killed Sgt. Kevin Cox.
"I'm optimistic that I'll have it wrapped up pretty quickly," Cass said.
Walker contends the leave amounts to discipline for events that occurred while he was out of town.
"I was not present at the incident, did not select the members of the SWAT team, nor did I plan the SWAT tactics used that day," Walker said in his Sept. 26 written grievance request.
"After two months ... the investigation remains incomplete. Beyond the other issues surrounding this matter, the city's prolonged inaction creates a cloud on my character and integrity that is simply unfounded."
Walker filed the grievance under city procedures allowing employees to appeal alleged policy violations. Cass agreed to hold a hearing on Walker's complaint.
But Walker's attorney, Steve DeWolf of Dallas, declined to participate in the hearing because Cass refused to allow himself or City Attorney Anita Burgess to be called as witnesses.
Cass said acting as a witness would conflict with his role as hearing examiner, and that Burgess did not have the authority to waive her attorney-client privilege as the city's lawyer.
Walker in stead submitted a written argument saying facts surrounding the SWAT incident do not support the letter placing him on leave, that the SWAT team had no prior problems with friendly fire and that other cities in comparable situations did not place their police chiefs on leave.
DeWolf said Cass' denial opens the door for Walker to file a lawsuit citing violations of whistle-blower laws that protect employees who report wrongdoing. DeWolf said he suspects Walker's leave was retaliation for reporting illegal activities by city employees.
DeWolf already has received permission from a Lubbock judge to question Cass and Burgess under oath about a potential defamation lawsuit regarding the letter placing Walker on leave. The depositions are scheduled for Monday.
But on Tuesday, new attorneys representing Cass and Burgess notified DeWolf that they believe their clients are not subject to District Judge Sam Medina's ruling.
Cass and Burgess are immune from legal action while acting within their official roles. But if proven they exceeded their authority, they could be sued as individuals.
Letters from the new attorneys Jim Hund of Lubbock for Cass and Lowell Denton of San Antonio for Burgess say Medina's ruling only applies to Cass and Burgess as city officials and therefore would be invalid in a lawsuit against them as individuals.
DeWolf said he believes Medina's ruling applies to both circumstances.
Both the city and Walker have indicated they could still settle the dispute, although no talks are currently taking place.
They reached a tentative agreement Aug. 30 in which Walker agreed to resign in exchange for a $216,000 severance package, but the deal collapsed at the last minute.
Afterward, Walker filed a court petition, and the city suspended negotiations with DeWolf.
City Council members have directed Cass to schedule a public hearing to explain why he put Walker on leave, but no date has been set. Walker will be given a chance to respond, and the council will consider a recommendation from Cass about Walker's employment.
The Police Department has concluded three separate reviews of the SWAT incident. Once FBI experts submit a final ballistics report, the case will be sent to the Criminal District Attorney's Office for presentation to a grand jury.
Acting Police Chief Claude Jones said he will wait until after the grand jury review before imposing possible disciplinary action against officers. Two officers involved in the SWAT incident remain on paid administrative leave.

Well, maybe Michael Jackson will be laid to rest before we find out what killed him.
At this point in time, the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office has "no idea" when the final autopsy report is going to be released, according to Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter.
The coroner's office was once aiming for Friday to announce the cause of death. Then the middle of next week was deemed more likely.
But now, following a meeting between officials from the coroner's office, the L.A. District Attorney's Office and the L.A. Police Department, no one is making any guesses as to when they'll announce their findings to the public, as authorities continue trying to connect the dots with regard to the King of Pop's death.
The multiple law-enforcement agencies on the case are on the same page, a source told the L.A. Times Thursday. Instead, it's the sheer scope of the investigation—and all the characters involved—that's holding up the proceedings.
The search warrants served on Dr. Conrad Murray's Las Vegas home and offices this week instructed officers to look for any record of communication between the cardiologist who had been serving as Jackson's personal physician and a number of the other doctors authorities have been collecting evidence from—including dermatologist Arnold Klein, rheumatologist Allan Metzger, anesthesiologist Randy Rosen and nurse Cherilyn Lee.
Murray, whom authorities believe injected Jackson with the dose of propofol that ultimately killed him, has become the subject of a manslaughter investigation.
We've got your 24/7 Michael Jackson coverage right here.

Two Air Force pilots who died during the Vietnam War more than 40 years ago are finally getting a proper burial, side by side, at Arlington National Cemetery.
James Sizemore and Howard Andre were friends at Georgia Tech University and later reunited as the crew of a Douglas A-26 invader. The two passed away when their bomber crashed in July 1969 over Laos.
Last year, the Air Force was finally able to reach the crash site and the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command task force retrieved Sizemore and Andre's remains. Their families made the decision to bury the two men next to each other at Arlington National Cemetery.
"It's very meaningful. They flew together, they died together and they ought to be buried together," James Sizemore's brother Gene Sizemore said.
Sizemore's nephew says the burial will be the end of an ordeal his family has had to suffer for decades.
"This is something they don't go a day thinking about and finally [he] is coming home, so it will being closure to our family," James' Sizemore's nephew Bill Sizemore told News4.
Sequestration forced the men's families to pay for the traditional flyover -- a final tribune to the fallen airmen.
"In our economy, I think there needs to be a fund for funerals just like this," James Sizemore's son told News4. "I think that whatever the government is going to do to balance the budget, they should make it a necessary requirement to honor those families."
The families utilized the help of Warrier Aviation to help the flyover become a reality.

The Denali Aircraft Advisory Council met last week to review information gathered during the last season of activity inside Denali National Park, and to what extent aviation had an impact on the wilderness experience of park users.
The Council was established 6 years ago to help establish voluntary best-practices to minimize noise disturbances within the park. At their most recent quarterly meeting, the council heard a number of reports from soundscape researchers, as well as representatives from user groups who had gathered information on how well the current air-traffic patterns for flight-seeing and back-country taxi services had coincided with the Park Services goals of minimal noise disturbance. According to Council co-Chair Erika Bennett, the voluntary best practices are largely effective in preserving the enjoyment of the public
The council provided recommendations about trying out a new flight corridor on the north side of the range which would involve aircraft flying over the park road – something that had been previously avoided.
According to Bennett, the council takes a lot of input from a wide variety of constituents, and based on park-visitor survey cards, they noted that very few people had remarked on the noise level, which in their view indicates the Overflights Council's recommendations are working
The Council's recommendations for voluntary best practices can be found on the Denali National Park's web page, by doing a search for Overflight Advisory Council

The Camacho brand of cigars first appeared in the early sixties when Simon Camacho fled newly communist Cuba and set up shop in Miami, Florida. Camacho sourced his tobacco from around Central America, and the brand quickly acquired worldwide notoriety with cigar connoisseur Winston Churchill being among the ranks of Camacho smokers.
After Simon Camacho passed away in the 1990s, the company was taken over by another group of Cuban exiles, The Eiroa family. The Eiroas are a cigar-making dynasty, having been involved in fine tobacco cultivation and production since the beginning of the twentieth century. Production was moved to the Jamastran valley region of Honduras, an area that is renowned for producing consistently rich and aromatic Cuban seed varieties. Camacho cigars are famous for their bold, robust flavour. Some of their more famous premium blends, such as the Camacho Corojo series, come in beautiful cedar boxes that enhance the richness of their flavor.

After reviewing the game footage for the pre-season week 2 game against Arizona, here are some additional thoughts. As always, for live-tweets during the game follow me on Twitter @AsherMathews
This post will cover Special Teams and Defense and a seperate post will cover the Offense in much more detail.
Special Teams:
Just like a game, I'm going to start with the opening kickoff. KO returns have been handled by Jacoby Ford and he's struggled in this regard. Part of that is the blocking in front of him which has been poor at times. Part is that he hasn't shown the skills that made him so dangerous in this area in past years. I'd say that Ford's injury hurts the Raiders much more in passing game than returns.
However, with Ford out indefinitely at this time with a foot injury it calls into question who will be returning punts and kicks. On player who has prior experience at kickoff returns is DB Bryan McCann. I don't know if Bryan McCann can make the final roster because his DB skills are not as good as others but the team may keep him as a dime DB and use him as their KR specialist.
The team is also unsettled at punt returner with Ford's absence and it's not entirely clear who will be taking his place. McCann could be an option as well as Taiwan Jones who has had some time back there. The team keeps trying Juron Criner at PR in camp but he's not practiced enough to catch it cleanly, consistently, with a number of drops when fielding kicks.
Unfortunately, only Ford has shown the ability to cleanly field punts in camp and therefore Special Teams is shaping up to be a team weakness thus far for this season. The team still has two weeks or so to get things together and the special teams may improve when the final roster is put together.
One player who is not expected to make the final roster, P Marquette King, got some great distance punts in the game but the key to a great punt isn't distance – it's height and distance. Height on a kick gives the kicking team two advantages. First and most importantly, it gives time for the punt coverage units to get down field and make a tackle. Second, a punt with good height on it keeps the returner's head up, not looking for running lanes.
Perennial Pro-Bowler Shane Lechler is back practicing and is one of the – if not the – best in the NFL at getting height and length on kicks. That will help the punt coverage teams dramatically moving forward.
I spent less time watching the defense on this tape, focusing more on the offense, below. However one of the things that really jumped out when watching the Cardinal's defensive unit was their gap discipline. This has been an Achilles heal to the Raiders front 7 for some time with teams gashing the D for big runs because defenders are drawn out of their gaps. When this happens a skillful running back can make a cutback into an open lane and gouge the defense for large chunks.
The Raiders D would be well served to match discipline the AZ D showed in their gap discipline. An undisciplined team can be badly burned by a zone blocking offensive line scheme (ZBS) like the Raiders use. The ZBS is predicated on getting defenders moving in one direction and out of their lanes and allowing a running back to make a cut up the field for bit yards. The AZ defense, for the most part, did a great job staying in their lanes and stopping the run.
The Raiders defense has also shown the ability to be more disciplined in their play so far this season but the real test will come later in games when the defenders are tired.
I did want to watch the Chimdi Chekwa INT at the very beginning of the third quarter. Chekwa had help over top from a safety but was trailing his man and if the pass had been thrown perfectly it's likely the safety wouldn't have made it over in time to break up the pass although he probably could have made it in time to tackle the receiver. However, the QB made a bad pass with not enough height and velocity on it and Chekwa was able to come down with it.
Many people have written off the interception as just a bad pass but I think it's a mistake to overlook the play that Chekwa made on it. When the pass was thrown, his back was to the pass but he was able to recognize the pass coming, close on the receiver and leap to make the interception. So often defenders are unable to simply capitalize on the mistakes of the offense and sometimes that's all that it takes.

Spoilers ahead!
A few not-so-shocking giveaways about this week's new movie releases, including Justice League and Frank Serpico
Matthew Lickona 6 p.m., Nov. 17
June 16, 1966: The Solution
Stokely Carmichael, leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, is released from jail this afternoon. Continuing a voter registration march begun by James Meredith, who was recently shot along a Mississippi highway, Carmichael had joined with other black leaders in the Walk Against Fear when he was arrested in Greenwood, Mississippi. After posting bond, Carmichael makes his way to Greenwood Park, where a crowd of 1000 is assembled to hear him speak.
Carmichael, 25, is lean and dark-skinned, with an intellectual's head, tight and compact. He climbs onto the platform and begins to speak, opening his mouth wide so his white overlarge teeth show far back in his mouth. His voice, strung taut, carries well. He has spent a lot of time behind bars, including 49 days in Mississippi's infamous Parchman Penitentiary, where he was routinely beaten. He says that today marks the 27th time he has been jailed. Suddenly he is yelling. "And I ain't going to jail no more! We been saying freedom for six years, and we ain't got nothin'. What we gonna start saying now," he roars, "is Black Power!"
The crowd is electrified. "Amen!" they shout. They clap their hands and stamp their feet. Willie Ricks, a committee organizer, leaps onto the platform and begins chanting, "Black Power! What do we want?" The crowd screams back, "Black Power!"
Stokely Carmichael explodes onto national consciousness as the Saturday Evening Post cautions, "We are all Mississippians." Martin Luther King calls Carmichael's remarks "an unfortunate choice of words." Roy Wilkins worries that this is "the raging of race against race."
At a confluence of historical moment and technology, there appears at about this time, first in Harlem and Watts, then in smaller inner-city communities, a comb whose use dates back to 3500 B.C., with the first examples found in the tombs of ancient Egypt. With its wide-grip handle and single strip of strong, widely spaced teeth, it gets the name the "Afro comb," or, more simply, "the pick." With it, blacks have the means to do with their hair what they have never much done before — to tease it. The phrase, a suggestive mix of the playful and the aggressive, captures the new attitude blacks are taking on, not just about their hair, which is to say their looks, which is to say their perceived presence in the United States, but also about the larger society. It is America, they say, that has treated them unfairly, denigrated them as less than human, as monkeys, as baboons. If they are jungle bunnies, then their new hair, kinky and huge, is a drumbeat signal that the bunnies in the jungle are on the move.
Supported by a sudden plethora of hair products, from shampoos and conditioners that soften the hair to an oil-based spray, the final touch, that gives the hair its appearance of dark, glacial distinction, blacks, fretting their hair, are able to make it stand straight up. The worrisome kink — once a stigmatic symbol of a multilayered inferiority — proves itself necessary to the new, brazen display. Stokely Carmichael helped write the Black Power agenda of the Black Panther Party, but it is the poster of Huey Newton, enthroned on rattan, an M16 rifle and a spear in clear view, his Afro shown escaping the confines of a black beret, who gives it its face. And it is Angela Davis who endows this historical moment with a heavy inevitability all the more unyielding when she, clear and articulate, facing jail time and surrounded by her lawyers, takes her place in front of a battalion of television cameras. She does not say much, and need not, for her immense thundercloud of black hair says it all. Her hair is a breathtaking vision of the storm already breaking over the country.
It is, as they say, a new day. And huge hair, both a symbol as well as an expression of a new consciousness, is like a raised flag: huge hair becomes a call, not to battle, but more dangerously, to revolution — an event, warned songwriter Gil Scott-Heron, that will not be televised.
December 23, 2000: A Gumbo Feast
Vernon Sukumu once bore a bomb. Thirty-five years ago, his thick hair, more wavy than kinky, was an incendiary device as black as night; today, at 61, he still sports a full head of hair, but it is a steel gray color, and it is worn short. (Two days ago, he was in a barber's chair in the Skyline area getting a trim in anticipation of tonight's get-together.) This evening, then, he is clean-cut; and he is busy. He tastes, he stirs, and he adds seasonings to the contents of a ten-gallon cast-iron pot and stirs some more, using a giant wooden spoon, the size of a shovel, its handle three feet long.
Vernon Sukumu is a modest height — five foot four — and the single-burner stove, heated by propane gas, sitting close to the floor like a Japanese hibachi grill, allows him to easily attend to the contents of that massive pot. The gumbo stock, made from garlic, celery, parsley, bell peppers, and onions, has simmered while Sukumu cooked the okra separately to keep it from going "ropy." Gumbo aficionados know that the dish is nothing without okra — like fried chicken without the crusty skin — and that okra cooked in the pot has a natural, slimy texture that spreads throughout the dish. But a large crowd is expected here to eat — more than 50 people over the next several hours — and some may be new to the dish. Okra sliding slimily down the throat is an acquired taste sensation; because he wants no one gagging in distressed surprise, Sukumu has gone to the effort of cooking the okra in a separate pot and draining off the liquid. In this gesture, Vernon Sukumu evidences what is essential to him: His thoughts are always on those who might be coming new to the table.

If you're looking to spend the 4th of July holiday a little differently this year, consider visiting some of Indiana's most patriotic towns (which was determined exclusively by town name!)
Americus, Indiana, found along I-65 in Tippecanoe County, is quite small. But it is home to Wolfe's Leisure Time Campground, and this spot has big plans for the 4th. A fireworks display is scheduled for Sunday, July 3. A bike and golf cart parade, bingo, horseshoes, and kids games are also scheduled. If camping's not your thing, you can see the July 4 calendar of events in Tippecanoe County here.
Liberty, Indiana is the county seat of Union County in the southeastern part of the state, and�it's also where you'll find Whitewater Memorial State Park. There are a slew of fun activities planned throughout the July 4 weekend at this park, including concerts and crafts. The complete schedule is available here. All events are free of charge, except for admission to the park. There is also access to beautiful Brookville Lake from Whitewater Memorial.
And last but certainly not least, Patriot, Indiana may be home to only 202 people, but it sounds like they know how to do July 4 right! An old fashioned parade will kick off at 11 a.m., followed by a flag ceremony and balloon launch at Memorial Park (Third and Plum Streets). After the ceremony, bring a side dish to Harris Park�(also off Third Street)�for the community pitch-in (grilled meats will be provided). The pitch-in will include live music, karaoke and inflatable playground fun for the kids. All events are free and open to the public.�Contact the�Switzerland County Visitors Center�for more information on the festivities.
Where do you like to celebrate July 4 around Indiana?

DOWNRIGHT AMAZING. I love drinking this before bedtime, or at the end of a long shift at work when I need something to look forward to. Nutty, with just a hint of apple. So amazing that I want to make two cups in a row!

Dolly Parton's voice echoed through my childhood starting with the song 9 to 5 (do you remember the 1980 movie also starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin?). As the 80's and 90's flew by, seasonal Christmas songs and now classics, like I will Always Love You, featured the voice of sweet Dolly. But what really caught my attention as a kid, just over 30 years ago, was the new Dollywood theme park that opened in Tennessee. As a ten-year-old child living in Louisiana it was quickly on my list of places to visit. Well, it took me 30 years to get there, and when I did my husband Jeff and our three children were with me. If fact, my kids are in the same age range I was when Dollywood opened.
As an adult, I wasn't sure what to expect regarding the theme park. Would it meet my childhood expectations? Theme parks come in all shapes and sizes for all I knew Dollywood might be a disappointment, but that wasn't the case. The park is sweet, clean, personal and doesn't carry the same hurried hustle and bustle of other larger parks. The staff ensures guests are well taken care of and the prices are reasonable. Not only did we visit the park but we stayed in the new Dollywood DreamMore Resort opening week. My husband and I fell in love with the Dollywood experience, as did our kids.
While theme park conversations usually revolve around rides and food, Dollywood surprised us with a number of things to do that we were not expecting. Here are some of the things to do at Dollywood:
History. The first stop upon entering the park should be peeking inside the replica of Dolly Parton's tiny childhood cabin where she and her 10 siblings were raised. Rags to riches stories are always inspirational and this one is grand. You will carry that awe with you the entire day.
Shows. Dollywood has 15 shows! The staff kept telling us the shows are a must-do but that the kids would especially love the Gazillion Bubbles featuring bubble master Deni Yang. His family holds the World Record for Largest Bubble Wall. We took the advice and, yes, the show was outstanding. So much so that the kids still talk about it. The only thing that could have made it better was being one of the kids called on stage, but that's probably every kid's dream!
Culture. Guests never forget they're in the Appalachians with the mountain ambiance but the genuine working Craftsmen complete the authenticity as they produce and sell beautiful work from blown glass, leather, pottery, candles, and candy (fudge, brittle, caramel).
Rides. 40 rides span across Dollywood's 150 acres. The Wild Eagle, America's first wing coaster, was by far our favorite thrill ride. Reaching 21 stories and speeds up to 61 mph made for a fun time. This year Dollywood will open the world's fastest wooden roller coaster, Lightning Rod. Riders will propel from zero to 45 mph, climb more than 20 stories, face a 165-foot drop and feel speeds up to 73 mph. If you ride, let us know how it is!
There is so much more to love about Dollywood, like the Country Fair with rides and games (you really do feel like you're at a classic fair). The on-site American Eagle Fountation's Eagle Mountain Sanctuary is where unreleasable eagles are kept safe while healthy eagles (either born there or rehabilitated) are released. Oh, and don't forget the food. Our son loves buffets and Aunt Granny's All-You-Care-To-Eat with home cooked dishes was a hit!

BEN Barba's off-field issues have cost him at least $20,000 with the former Dally M winner knocking back an approach to pull on the gloves in the Fight For Life boxing event later this year.
Organisers of the popular fight night, which sees rugby league's best pugilists take on rugby union stars from New Zealand, were confident of signing Barba onto an all-star card that will include Manly hit man Steve Matai, Test forward Sam Thaiday, Cronulla duo Todd Carney and Paul Gallen and New Zealand Warriors forward Russell Packer.
But in light of his controversial departure from the Bulldogs and allegations of domestic violence, Barba's management declined the offer last Thursday.
It's undoubtedly a smart move given the damaging headlines the Brisbane Broncos recruit has attracted this year.
This year's Fight for Life event will be held on December 14 in Auckland with the inclusion of Matai to the card for the first time causing organisers a few early headaches.
Such is the fearsome playing style that the Sea Eagles centre has displayed throughout his career, organisers have struggled to find a rugby star willing to take him on.
They could do worse than ask Parramatta's Mitchell Allgood, who traded blows with Matai this season, to step into the ring for an official re-match.
The Fight For Life event is promoted and run by Dean Lonergan and David Higgins, the same duo responsible for organising next year's inaugural NRL Auckland Nines tournament.
THE search for a red-blooded Aussie male that brushes his own Buck's Day is over.
Pointing to his loyalty to the green and gold, Australia's World Cup debutant Andrew Fifita was forced to pull out of his own version of the Hangover last week.
But that didn't stop Fifita's mates who stuck to the tour itinerary and flew to the Gold Coast without the Buck, who was busy meeting his new Aussie team-mates and being fitted into his green and gold blazer in Sydney.
Fifita admitted it was a call that no groom wants to make, but added his stellar 2013 season had been built on sacrifice.
"After a lot of hard work, this year has been a dream come true. Chosen for NSW, finals footy with Cronulla, Dally M Prop of the Year, World Cup selection and now getting married," Fifita said.
"I'm thinking of getting 2013 as a tattoo."
Fifita will marry his partner Nikkita today before flying out tomorrow to the UK with the Kangaroos.

Casting directors have been hired for five new CBS drama pilots, Backstage has confirmed.
The high-profile pilot for "Anatomy of Violence," an hour-long crime drama from "Homeland" co-creators Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa, is being cast by Michael Testa. Inspired by the upcoming non-fiction book "The Anatomy of Violence: The Biological Roots of Crime" by Adrian Raine, the project centers on a young female detective who partners with a criminal psychologist with whom she shares a past connection.
Casting directors Deborah Aquila and Tricia Wood of Aquila/Wood Casting are casting "Intelligence," a drama pilot focused on an agent at U.S. Cyber Command who gains special abilities after he has a microchip implanted in his brain.
Gary Zuckerbrod is the casting director for the new medical drama pilot "The Surgeon General," which offers a fictionalized look at the nation's top doc as he fights the forces of politics and business in order to protect the health of millions of Americans.
Casting director Susan Edelman is casting CBS' "Reckless," described as a sultry legal drama in which a northern litigator and a southern city attorney have to hide their attraction to each other while on opposite sides of a police sex scandal in Charleston, S.C. The pilot will be directed by "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke.
And several casting directors are sharing casting duties on "Second Sight," an hour-long psychological thriller about a detective who is suddenly afflicted with an autoimmune virus that causes hallucinations stemming from his subconscious. The project is based on the U.K. series of the same name, starring Clive Owen as the cop who "discovers that catching the killer depends as much on insight as eyesight."
Carol Kritzer of Ulrich/Dawson/Kritzer (UDK) Casting is the pilot's L.A.-based casting director, while Judy Henderson will be in charge of New York casting and North Carolina-based Fincannon & Associates will cast local southern talent, according to CBS.
Aside from "Intelligence," which shoots in March in Vancouver, B.C., the shoot dates and locations for all of the above pilots have not been announced.

We already know what Oscar-winning director Ben Affleck plans to make as his follow-up to Argo. In January of this year, long before his 2012 hit took home Best Picture, the actor cum filmmaker announced that he would be returning to the world of Dennis Lehane fiction for his next project, making an adaptation of the book Live By Night. But just because Affleck's immediate future is determined doesn't mean that his future isn't open to possibilities - and today we have learned the title of yet another one of them.
Deadline has gotten reports that Warner Bros .has made a deal to secure the movie rights for Nathaneil Philbrick's book "Bunker Hill: A City, A Siege, A Revolution" and will be giving the project to Affleck and Damon's production company Peal Street Films with Affleck eying the director's chair. The story is based on one of the most important battles in American history: The Battle of Bunker Hill a.k.a. the start of the American Revolution in 1775. The site adds that the book is told from multiple perspectives, "including a 33-year-old physician named Joseph Warren, who becomes a leader of the Patriot cause; Paul Revere, George Washington, British General Thomas Gage, and others."
Sources say the studio is looking to turn screenwriting duties over to Argo's Chris Terrio, who took home the Best Adapted Screenplay Award at the Oscars. Should Affleck take on Bunker Hill it will once again put him in his hometown of Boston, the same setting as Gone, Baby, Gone, and The Town.

Spring in Michigan in amazing. In a few weeks the world goes from brown sticks and mud to wild flowers and sunshine. I think I'm happiest when laying on my belly scootin' up-close to some tiny flower. The wild flowers around here come in very fast stages … if you blink you'll miss 'em!
Drawing flowers can be a bit of a problem if you are "color-centric." To draw flowers in grey scale you need to look at their structure and texture. It helps if you can find them in good lighting situations too.
So gather up your camera bag, throw in a drawing pad and a pencil or two, and go find those wild flowers before they're gone!

text: Spring Colloquium to examine the media's representation of female athletes Posted: March 21, 2011 Author: Meaghan GordonPrevious1 of 1Next LIVINGSTON, Ala.—The University of West Alabama presents the James E. Colquitt Faculty Colloquium on Wednesday, April 13 at 6 p.m. in the Callaway Schoolhouse, with a Phi Kappa Phi Academic Scholarship fundraising dinner served on the Spence-Moon House patio immediately following the presentation. Department of Languages and Literature assistant professor Dr. Amy Jones will present "The Media's Representation of Female Athletes." Jones examines how a female athlete's appearance influences her perceived credibility. Her research suggests that media consumers are frequently exposed to social stereotypes, and such exposure influences attitudes about female athletes. Following the colloquium, Phi Kappa Phi honor society will host a barbecue dinner to raise scholarship funds. The menu includes pulled pork with various sauces, bread, two varieties each of potato salad and coleslaw, homemade macaroni and cheese, deviled eggs, and, for dessert, pecan tasses. Although the Colloquium is free to everyone, dinner reservations are required. Tickets for the meal are $8, and additional donations to the academic scholarship are welcomed. Please make reservations by April 8 at 5 p.m. by contacting Janie Gregg at 205-652-3716. The Colloquium, which takes place in the fall and spring semesters, is a forum for faculty and students to share original research, scholarship or creative work with the university community. Sponsored by the School of Graduate Studies and UWA's Phi Kappa Phi chapter, the event is named in memory of Dr. James E. Colquitt, a UWA English professor from 1984-94 and winner of the William E. Gilbert Award for Outstanding Teaching. A beloved teacher, a lover of knowledge and a devotee of language, Colquitt was instrumental in establishing the faculty colloquium. The colloquium is free and open to the public. For more information about the presentation, please contact Mary Pagliero at 205-652-3765. For more information about the dinner, please contact Lee Stanton at 205-652-3451.See More UWA News

TRANSPORT chiefs say changes to a series of junctions and traffic signals are helping to ease congestion problems.
Hartlepool Borough Council is aiming to improve the flow of traffic through Hartlepool town centre and reduce delays with the changes which have come into affect in recent days.
The changes involve the junctions at York Road and Park Road, York Road and Victoria Road and the A689 and Huckelhoven Way.
Senior officers in the transport department say the current junction arrangements were first introduced a number of years ago and traffic volumes have increased since then.
That has led to congestion and queues of traffic at peak times so the aim is to have a better flow of cars and other vehicles around the town centre.
The changes include:
• York Road/Park Road junction.
For traffic travelling west along Park Road, re-allocating the left hand lane for vehicles turning left into York Road and the right hand lane for vehicles travelling straight on.
Allowing vehicles travelling east on Park Road to turn left into York Road.
• York Road/Victoria Road.
Allowing traffic travelling east along Victoria Road to turn right into York Road.
• A689/Huckelhoven Way junction.
Changing the sequence of the traffic lights at this junction which currently operate on separate northbound and southbound phases on the A689 so that both phases run at the same time.
There will be a right turn phase for both northbound and southbound vehicles following this.
A council spokesman said: "The changes at these key town centre junctions are designed to improve traffic flow and ease congestion.
"The changes are now complete after the sequence of the traffic lights at the A689/Huckelhoven Way/Park Road junction was altered on Sunday.
"The improvements appear to be working well and we would like to thank motorists for their patience and co-operation."
The Mail has taken video footage of the A689/Huckelhoven Way junction improvements, to highlight the changes.
Peter Frost, the council's highways, traffic and transport team leader, had previously said: "The current junction arrangements were introduced a number of years ago and traffic volumes have increased since then, leading to congestion and queues of traffic at times.
"We believe all of these proposals will help to encourage a better flow of traffic around the town centre and lead to shorter queues at some junctions."
Signs about the changes are in place.

When ones gets wind of a non-fatal axe attack that occurred between two brothers during a dispute over video games, it's clear what has to be done: A call has to be made. Details need to be procured. Journalism needs to rise to the occasion.
What we knew: Earlier this week, 19-year-old Lincoln, Nebraska resident Luke Marshall attacked his 21-year-old brother with a "double-bladed medieval axe" after the sibling complained about the volume of an early morning gaming session Marshall was having with friends. The brother sustained a cut on his right hand that required eight stitches, and a minor wound on his right foot. Marshall was arrested and charged with three different felonies: Second-degree assault, terroristic threats, and use of a weapon to commit a felony.
What we wanted to know: Everything. Ev-er-y-thing.
So, a call was placed to the Lancaster County Sheriff's office in Lincoln, where a rep shared all the information he had on the case. As the police report details, Marshall and two friends were playing video games in the basement around 5 a.m. when his brother, who was trying to sleep, asked them to be quiet. This led to a brotherly quarrel, at which point the friends excused themselves and left. The two brothers kept at it, prompting Marshall to arm himself with the aforementioned double-headed medieval axe, as well as a previously unreported miniature baseball bat. "But," the Sheriff's office rep noted, "the damage was done with the axe."
What we now know: The attack also involved a mini baseball bat. While not an "everything" degree of information, that's nevertheless a valuable detail.

BOSTON -- Paul Pierce leaned into the camera with a mock scowl and a message for the friends he grew up with: "I know you all go to the games. But if I see any of you with a Lakers jersey on, I'll know who my real friends are."
The Boston swingman is bringing the Celtics back to his hometown to play the Lakers, and they're taking along a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven NBA finals. For the L.A. native who used to sneak into the Forum to watch the Lakers as a kid, it's a chance to show the people who knew him back when that he's all grown up now.
"This means everything. It's a dream," Pierce said Sunday night after scoring 28 points to lead Boston to a 108-102 victory over the Lakers in Game 2. "It's a dream for me to go home and play in a place where I grew up, against a team I grew up with, with the Boston Celtics, with the opportunity to win an NBA championship. Couldn't have scripted it any better."
Despite a knee injury that might or might not have required the help of three people to carry him from the floor in Game 1, Pierce returned to hit back-to-back 3 pointers in the series opener to give the Celtics the lead for good and propel them to victory.
In Game 2 on Sunday night, he led Boston in scoring and hit a pair of crucial free throws with 23 seconds left after the Lakers cut a 24-point deficit to 104-102.
Then, with L.A. down four, Pierce blocked Sasha Vujacic's 3-point attempt to protect the lead.

LA terrorist leader Charlie Beck is offering a bribe to the two women assualted and nearly killed by his thugs. If ever there was a reason to violate posse comatus and send in the troops, this is it. Go on ObamAA- send in your DHS goons to save the day. You won't. cops like LA has are your idea of good law enforcement. Who trained these assholes? Hugo Chavez? Is their program modeled after Iran's or Nazi Germany's system?
One side of me hopes Dorner gets caught ASAP, the other wishes he would get the job done, the nhead for Chicago or New York. Its like watching rats in a tank, except these rats are endangering human lives with their antics.
The cops who shot these women need to go to jail for attempted murder. They shold be treated just like any other gang member who shoots at passing cars except they shoudl have "bad cop no donut" tattooed on their foreheads and faces before being dumped smack in the middle of the general population.

I would tell Chief Charlie Beck to go fuck himself, and then I would sue the balls off of the department. Not necessarily for the money alone, but I would want due compensation by making sure those "professionals" were charged with attempted murder and after time served they would be blacklisted from being able to so much as write a parking ticket ever again...
