Tebow has an up and down day in first training camp practice
FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots' most heralded backup quarterback, Tim Tebow, surprised observers by taking part in some of the team's receiving drills during its first training camp practice.
The former New York Jet caught three passes, with no drops, exciting the crowd of fans at Gillette Stadium's practice fields who could be heard cheering his name.
But when he was working at quarterback, he had a much more modest outing in practice. He finished the day going 6 for 10 with two interceptions in 11-on-11 drills. He was picked off by safety Nate Ebner and defensive end Chandler Jones.
Since Tebow's arrival, he's faced wild speculation on how the multi-skilled quarterback would be used.
"I'm just doing what I'm asked," Tebow said. "But so far I've been strictly in the QB room."
The former Florida Gator also addressed the topic of his former college teammate Aaron Hernandez, who is charged with the murder of a Dorchester man and is implicated in two other shootings.
"Well, it was heartbreaking and it was sad," he said. "And me being advised, I'm sure you guys have heard it a bunch of times, I'm not to comment on an ongoing legal investigation. So I'm not going to comment further. But all my thoughts and prayers go out to all the families that were involved.
"I understand why you have to ask all the questions, that's part of your job. Part of mine is listening to instruction and not commenting."
Tebow did defend his college coach Urban Meyer, who has come under scrutiny for his handling of Florida's football team discipline.
"I feel like coach Meyer is a great man, one of the best I've had the privilege of being around," Tebow said. "He is someone that not only tries to win football games, he is someone that tries to invest in young men's lives and help young men grow. He cares very deeply about that. And that's one of the reasons I'm so close to him and why I'm proud of him."
Beyond that, Tebow said he was focused on improving.

It is doubtful that Travis Alexander, her dead ex, preferred "to die sooner than later. Arias admitted killing her onetime boyfriend Travis Alexander on June 4, 2008 but she initially denied any involvement. Later, she said masked intruders killed Alexander. But, says an Associated Press report, "two years after her arrest, she said it was self-defense when the victim attacked her after a day of sex."
That's an amazing statement by Arias. No premeditation on her part? According to FoxNews, "Alexander suffered nearly 30 knife wounds, was shot in the forehead and had his throat slit before Arias dragged his body into his shower. He was found by friends about five days later. Authorities said Alexander fought for his life as Arias attacked him in a blitz, but he soon grew too weak to defend himself." In his opening statement to jurors, prosecutor Juan Martinez said that, "Mr. Alexander did not die calmly." Not premeditated? For Arias to say that seems only consistent with her narcissistic, creepy behavior in the past.

Even though she said she would prefer the death penalty, Arias can't just choose the death penalty. It's not up to her. "It is up to the jury to make a sentencing ecommendation, and the judge will then make the final decision," notes FoxNews. "If she were sentenced to death, she could decide not to appeal to speed up the process, but it could still take years to play out as she lives under punishing conditions on death row."
If Jodi Arias gets her wish for execution, she will be able to "die quietly." I generally favor the death penalty for first degree murder. In this case, it would be poetic justice to let Arias live a long and miserable life. But then again, I've never been a big fan of poetry. I say we grant the death wish of Jodi Arias. She's doing the state a favor, after all, by not mounting expensive legal appeals. If she dies, she will save the taxpayers of Arizona many hundreds of thousands of dollars, potentially for the next 40-50 years of her natural life. Kill Jodi Arias. We'll all be better off for it. On reconsideration. that would be nicely poetic.

Demetrious (Mighty Mouse) Johnson isn't about to lose sleep over John Moraga's comments.
While attending UFC 160 in May, Moraga didn't hold back his thoughts on the UFC flyweight champion's fighting style.
"I think he's boring," Moraga told reporters. "He just bounces around, runs around too much and doesn't fight. He doesn't put on exciting fights. He's got a lot of technique and a lot of skill, but he doesn't finish people, I don't feel."
Though Johnson has yet to secure a KO or submission victory under the UFC banner, he's twice earned Fight of the Night honours for entertaining scraps against Ian McCall and John Dodson.
Either way, Johnson isn't going to let Moraga get under his skin.
"I honestly don't care," Johnson countered on a recent conference call. "It's his opinion. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It is what it is."
Johnson aims to stage his second successful title defence when he meets Moraga in the main event of UFC on FOX 8 in Seattle July 27. The two were originally slated to face off at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale in April, but Johnson was forced to bow out due to a shoulder injury.
Moraga said the secret to capturing the belt is ensuring he has enough gas in the tank to last the full 25 minutes.
"Probably the thing I've been working on most is cardio, making sure I'm able to go hard for all five rounds," Moraga said. "That's what I think he's shown as his best (attribute). He tires people out. That's not going to happen in our fight."
The heavy-handed flyweight has looked nothing short of impressive since joining the UFC roster last August. Following a vicious knockout victory over Ulysses Gomez, he submitted Chris Cariaso in December. The performance earned him Submission of the Night, which netted an additional $65,000 in bonus cash.
Johnson admitted Moraga hits hard, but said it's nothing he hasn't seen before, citing his most recent title defence against John Dodson.
"My last fight, I fought one of the guys in the division who has one-strike knockout power," Johnson said. "He's dropped guys and you've seen him do it.
"John Moraga has great skills and throws great combinations. When I'm preparing and training for a fight, we don't bring anybody in to emulate my opponent. We don't go out and seek information on my opponent. We just train hard and I believe in my training partners and my coaching. That's what we've done and it hasn't let us down yet."
In many ways, Moraga's title shot reinforces that the flyweight division is still in its infant stages.
Though he's certainly deserving of a championship opportunity, Moraga's only required two victories to secure a bout with Johnson. Both of his UFC outings also served as opening bouts on their respective preliminary cards.
The 125-pound weight class has also yet to headline a pay-per-view.
The finals of the inaugural flyweight tournament were initially slated for the main event of UFC 152 in Toronto last September, but were bumped to co-main status to accommodate a light-heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and Vitor Belfort.
UFC president Dana White feels the 125-pound division is growing steadily and has already provided some classic fights. He said it won't be long before the flyweights take the top spot on a PPV event.
"Absolutely," White said. "Mighty Mouse has been on a lot of big cards and he's going to fight on FOX again. We're in the building phase of that division. So the answer to that is yes."
Though the weight class is still young, both 125-pound title fights thus far have gone the distance. Perhaps an emphatic finish in a championship bout would help imprint the division in the minds of MMA fans.
White said he would never turn down a highlight reel KO or slick submission, but said, at the end of the day, people just want exciting fights.
"That's a fair question," White began. "Ben Henderson has had fights that have gone to decisions, even controversial decisions. Demetrious has gone to decisions. As long as it's an exciting fight. There are all different styles of fighters. Some guys will go in there and knock people out, some guys pull off submissions and some guys go to decisions, but have exciting fights.
"The last fight with Demetrious (and John Dodson) was an awesome fight."
– UFC on FOX 8 goes down Sat., July 27 in Seattle and will be headlined by a flyweight title fight between Demetrious Johnson and John Moraga. Also, B.C.'s Rory MacDonald meets Jake Ellenberger and Robbie Lawler takes on Bobby Voelker. The event will air on FOX and Sportsnet 360.
– Bellator 97 takes place Wed., July 31 in Albuquerque, N.M., and will feature two title fights, as lightweight champ Michael Chandler faces David Rickels and Andrey Koreshkov challenges welterweight titleholder Ben Askren. The show will be broadcast on Spike TV.
– UFC 163 is set for Sat., Aug. 3 in Rio de Janeiro. The main event will see Jose Aldo defend the featherweight crown against Chan Sung Jung. Also, Phil Davis battles Lyoto Machida and Cezar Ferreira squares off with Thiago Santos. The card will be available on pay-per-view.

Hi, all.
As you know, many games only have two save game slots. My issue is that i have three kids and 2 just isn't enough! Is there a way to load two copies of the same game on a USB hard drive? That way, I can increase the number of save game slots.
Is there another way to increase the number of save slots? I know I can transfer save games to an SD card. Is it easy to swap the save games from SD card to the Wii so that each kid can have their own?
Sorry if these are simple questions, but I don't know much about it.

LaHair's back keeps him from opener lineup
LaHair's back keeps him from opener lineup
LaHair did not play in the Cubs' final four Cactus League games because of a bulging disc in his back. On Thursday, he was able to run and hit in the batting cage.
"It's just such a minor thing, but it's something I couldn't prevent -- it's like a nerve thing," said LaHair, who blamed an impingement for the pain in his back and leg. "The nerve settled down now and the pain is pretty much out, and now it's just getting back into the feel of things. I should be back in there this weekend."
LaHair has had something like this before and it settled down in three days. He said he did not expect to need to go on the disabled list. He also wasn't that concerned about the bulging disc.
"I bet 90 percent of hitters in baseball have that," LaHair said.
What's tough is LaHair, 29, has not made an Opening Day roster the last five years, and this was finally his chance.
"I've been preparing myself mentally the past few days just to be ready," LaHair said. "The most important thing is to not go backwards, and keep going forward and keep getting better. Once I'm better, I should be good to go.
"Today was a really good day, and I've been making huge gains each day, a lot faster than [the training staff] anticipated," he said. "Today was exceptional, because I did some running, I hit in the cage. My swing felt good in the cage."
Baker has been used primarily as a sub at second, third and the outfield, but did play a lot of first base this spring. It's not his first Opening Day start; he also started the opener in 2005 with the Rockies, at third base.
"It's just another game, and I'm obviously a litte more excited for this one," Baker said of Thursday's start.

It's all about the Big $$$, it seems. Yes, some hard-core traditional game elements are difficult at first, but if there is no difficulty there is no satisfaction in acheiving mastery, or god forbid, strategically outwitting an AI thru sheer teeth-gritting tenacity.
Seems like the games industry stopped being for and about actual gaming a long time ago.
Perhaps it reflects our entire culture in microcosm. Many people have no real challenges in their lives(that they want to look at, anyway) so they create an artificial challenge--as in so-called "reality TV" ---but the problem with that is that it's totally controllable and safe, thusly minimally rewarding. And then it's on to the next toy or experience.
I guess even a fantasy of a real challenge is too intimidating for this hypothetical
gaming audience.

By the time Guyer hit the practice field for the first time after its season-opening 54-28 loss to Cedar Hill, the memories of that embarrassing defeat were long gone from the players' minds.
After an inexperienced defense that returned two full-time starters from last season was outmatched by Cedar Hill's wealth of talented athletes, and after the Guyer offense fell off a ledge in the second half, the Wildcats had a good week of practice and got ready to face explosive Colleyville Heritage (1-0) tonight at 7 at Southlake's Dragon Stadium.
"The losses this time of year are not losses that should affect practice the next week," Guyer head coach John Walsh said. "You lose a district game and it lingers, but a nondistrict game, it's not lingering. We know where we're at. We've got to get better. Are we all disappointed? Yes. Were we all embarrassed about the performance in the second half? Yes. I think practice has been real sharp the last two days, though."
The game is being played at Dragon Stadium because the lights are under repair at Heritage's home stadium, Mustang-Panther Stadium in Grapevine. Guyer, which dropped from the top spot to No. 7 in The Associated Press Class 4A poll following last week's loss, is 5-0 all-time at Dragon Stadium.
The Guyer defense will have to find a way to slow Heritage quarterback Cody Thomas, who has committed to Oklahoma and threw for 265 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 20-2 win over Duncanville.
That means yet another stiff challenge for a unit whose returning starters are both safeties — Tavi Sanches and John Schilleci, who committed to North Texas after starting at cornerback last season.
While Heritage might not have the athletes of Cedar Hill, the Panthers have a lot of solid receivers, as four had at least four catches last week.
The Panthers run a true spread offense, spreading the ball around to four receivers evenly, and at times use an even rotation of four running backs.
"They use the entire field," Walsh said. "You pull up their stats, and they involve a lot of people. They remind me of Coppell — you can't tell who's their stud. They all look the same, and they're all pretty darn good.
"On that side of the ball we'll be underdogs again, but we planned on playing that role for the first few weeks."
Middle linebacker Terence Belton, a first-year Guyer starter, said the key to facing a team like the Panthers that has so many weapons is to be sure everyone on the unit mans their position.
"We just have to do what we have to do to stop them — fly around and guard our position," Belton said. "[Thomas] has a great arm and he can put the ball where he wants to. If we get pressure on him and our secondary stays on their men, we'll be fine."
While Walsh knows his young defense will have its share of struggles early in the season, he expects more out of his offense — a unit loaded with returning talent, both on the line and at the skill positions.
The Wildcats are led by quarterback Jerrod Heard, a Texas commit who threw for 118 yards and rushed for 62 with two scores on the ground in the loss to Cedar Hill.
While the plan last week was to keep the ball on the ground and try to keep the Longhorns' explosive offense off the field, Guyer plans to open up the offense a bit more this week and try to use weapons like wide receiver Ellis Jefferson more than just the two times he touched the ball last week.
"We're going to be all over the place," Heard said. "It's going to be on the ground, in the air — everywhere. It's going to be fun."
A lot of that versatility will ride on the legs of junior running back D.J. Breedlove, who rushed for a team-high 75 yards last week, most of which came in the first half before Guyer was forced to abandon its run-first plan.
Breedlove said he's seen some good players on the defensive side of the ball while watching film of the Panthers, most notably their two starting inside linebackers. He said he expects to see some of the same 5-3 defensive front they ran in last week's defensive shutout of Duncanville. But he doesn't expect them to be able to stay in the eight-man front for long.
"We're going to have to force them to get out of it," Breedlove said. "They'll have to guard [receivers] Josh Harris and [Ellis Jefferson], and once they start keying in on them that's going to open up the run game and make plenty of room for me to go home with it. It's gonna be fun."

BEIRUT, Lebanon ? Patty Babara, a 42-year-old mother of three from Beirut, has been praying for a miracle for her country. Ever since the latest outbreak of violence, the Melkite Christian has been hoping that ?Our Lady will do something for Lebanon? in this Marian month of May.
The month saw the worst outbreaks of violence since the end of Lebanon?s 1975-1990 civil war, but tensions have eased somewhat and there appears to be progress as a result of negotiations with a delegation from the Arab League.
Violence that raged for six days, beginning May 7, erupted after Lebanon?s Western-backed government?s decision to investigate Hezbollah?s telecommunications network and reassign the country?s airport security chief over alleged ties to the Shiite militant group. That decision, said Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, was tantamount to a declaration of war.
At first, battles between pro- and anti-government militants with small arms and rocket-propelled grenades were contained in largely Muslim Sunni neighborhoods of West Beirut. Then it spread to mixed Shiite-Druze areas in the hills to the southeast of Beirut and on to Tripoli and predominately Sunni areas in northern Lebanon. At least 65 people were killed.
Christians supportive of the government as well as the Hezbollah-backed opposition did not participate, and Christian areas were spared of the violence.
On May 11 Pope Benedict XVI called for an end to fighting and a return to serious negotiations.
?I feel a duty today to urge the Lebanese to abandon all logic of aggressive opposition, which would lead their dear country toward the irreparable,? he said.
?Dialogue, mutual understanding and the search for reasonable compromise are the only way to restore to Lebanon its institutions and to the population the necessary security for a dignified daily life,? the Pope said.
How did it reach this point? Tensions have mounted amid a deepening political stalemate the last 18 months, and the country has been without a president since Damascus prot?g? Emile Lahoud stepped down upon completion of his term November 2007. Although parliament chose a consensus candidate, Army General Michel Suleiman, feuding politicians have been unable to agree on the makeup of a new cabinet. The presidential post, under Lebanon?s confessional power-sharing system, is reserved for a Maronite Catholic.
?Government loyalists have been uncompromising because of encouragement from the outside, principally from the United States and Saudi Arabia,? said Habib Malik, a Catholic and author of Between Damascus and Jerusalem: Lebanon and Middle East Peace.
?Washington violated the traditional Lebanese penchant for compromise by insisting there is a winner and a loser. At the same time, the opposition increasingly became the mouthpiece of a joint Syrian-Iranian project to derail the international tribunal? regarding the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in 2005 ?and somehow restore Syrian dominance in Lebanon,? Malik said.
?Neither of these two scenarios works in a complex place like Lebanon. The name of the game has to be compromise, and maybe now, in light of recent events, all sides have arrived at this realization and are sober enough to make the necessary compromises to arrive at an agreement,? Malik explained.
Regarding Lebanese political leaders? allegiance to outside forces, Maronite Catholic Bishop Georges Bou Jaoude of Tripoli remarked, ?I wonder what Lebanon represents for them: the country that Pope John Paul II proclaimed as more than a nation, a message of coexistence for the Middle East and the West??
Approximately 33% of Lebanon?s population is Christian.
?If we resort to solving our problems by guns and force, it erodes Lebanon?s principals of coexistence,? said Beirut Maronite Bishop Paul Matar. ?It is important to preserve Lebanon?s tradition as a multicultural, multi-religious, open society. This is the concern of the Church. How can we rebuild the country if we are enemies of each other??
Hope for Dialogue
Clearly, the Lebanese people do not want to return to war. They have had enough.
?We are trying, as much as possible, to calm down the fears and worries of the Christians,? said Bishop Bou Jaoude. ?Many times we don?t succeed because of the painful and depressing experiences they have endured over the last 30 years.
?Our hope now is for all Lebanon to come back to dialogue,? Matar said.
Now that appears to be a reality. A delegation from the Arab League arrived in Lebanon May 14. The Lebanese government cancelled its measures against Hezbollah, and after a two-day meeting the league announced May 15 that dialogue between the ruling majority and the opposition would take place in Doha, Qatar, beginning the following day. Shortly after, all roads to the airport and seaport were reopened.
In the roller coaster ride of Lebanon?s politics, it seems the Lebanese have a new chance for a degree of calm and stability.

I recently bought the sea-green cardigan-so pretty. I am a size 10-12 American. The medium was perfect for dressier events. I also bought a large gray cardigan for layering over turtlenecks. I walk to work, so both sweaters will keep me warm in chilly Seattle weather. I love the blend of cashmere and merino. A sturdy sweater made more soft and feminine with the blend. Only complaint--your sweaters are becoming an addiction. I'm beginning to recommend you to family and friends. So glad I discovered you.

text: So I have a 64 reissue 500/1 and love its tone but was looking also at the verythin reissues and did not know if there was enough difference in tone between the 2 models to consider adding the verythin. Other models I was looking at include the Coronado or an older Gretsch. Should I just be satisfied with my tonal variations between my P's and J's and 500/1 or can I expand my tonal options with one of these hollow ( or semi-hollow) body basses. I am looking to play more jazz standards and music of the 40's with this instrument. I have not found any threads commenting on different tones between the various Hofners- do they all sound the same with just different bodies?

Tobossco posted a topic in General Chit-ChatI was trying to go turtle poaching with a friend with his new SDV but when we went to go into the truck inventory, it would tell us that we needed to get the fuel variant to store oil, but we had no oil and we were trying to store turtles and other crap. Is it supposed to be like that because 800 truck capacity and no way to use it seems really stupid. Please give some feed back.

The German record champions earned a tremendous result over the village side, but knocks to several key players cast a shadow over the result.
Mario Gomez had a hat-trick, Arjen Robben a double, and Toni Kroos and Franck Ribery each added a goal as the German record champions earned an emphatic result. A late own goal from Luiz Gustavo served as little consolation for the visitors.
Gomez, who had not been on target for four matches heading into the fixture, found the net after just five minutes, finishing off a fine attacking sequence he had started as he hammered home a loose ball in the center of the penalty area.
Just six minutes later, Philipp Lahm surged into the right side of the box and, after Gomez was felled, pounced to claim possession and won a penalty from Marvin Compper. Robben stepped up to the spot and made no mistake in doubling the hosts' advantage.
Things went from bad to worse for Hoffenheim on 18 minutes as Kroos fired a low drive from well outside the box and inside the left post.
The 22-year-old Germany international nearly had a double in the 28th minute, but after a nice run, missed narrowly wide of the post. Seconds later, Robben was on target, however, rounding goalkeeper Tom Starke and slotting home after a perfect through-pass from Franck Ribery.
Gomez had his double after 35 minutes: the Germany international stepped forward to nod Ribery's cross into the net. And on 47 minutes, he completed his hat-trick to make it 6-0 with a towering header from a corner.
The match was not all positive for Bayern, however, as Jerome Boateng was forced off at half-time after picking up a knock to his knee, and Gomez as well limped off in the 55th minute.
Following Gomez's third, Bayern pressed on still, and Holger Badstuber and Thomas Muller both had close calls before Ribery finally got his goal in the 58th minute. Following a powerful run during which he brushed off a challenge, Robben slipped the ball through to the Frenchman, who rounded Stark and finished from a tight angle.
Muller forced a fine save on the hour mark, but would end his afternoon early and without a goal, as Bastian Schweinsteiger made his long-awaited return as a substitute for the final half-hour.
Play slowed down later in the match, but Ryan Babel forced a consolation goal for the visitors as he took possession from Luiz Gustavo, who had slipped. The pair were in a foot race, and the Bayern man had the last touch as he put the ball past Manuel Neuer on 85 minutes.
As full time approached, Bayern's injury woes compounded as Robben tracked down a loose ball and was felled from behind by Edson Braafheid, turning his ankle in the process. Moments later, the whistle blew for full-time, and the Dutch winger limped during post-match formalities.
The result sees Bayern temporarily move to within four points of leaders Dortmund, who plays later on Saturday. Hoffenheim slips to 12th, level on points with Mainz.

Andrew Desjardins (C) San Jose – Re-assigned to the AHL.
Brian Willsie (W) Washington – Re-assigned to the AHL.
Rhett Rakhshani (C) Islanders – Placed on IR.
Torrey Mitchell (C) San Jose – Placed on IR.
Philip Larsen (D) Dallas – Re-assigned to the AHL.
Jonas Andersson (W) Vancouver – Placed on waivers.
John Tavares (C) Islanders – Let's give a little love to New York's other team as the Islanders have been playing better of late and so has Tavares. In his last seven games he has five goals and nine points and has been playing like the player the Isles thought he was when they drafted him first overall in 2010. Tavares will never be the play that Sidney Crosby or Alexander Ovechkin is, but 30-35 goals a season should be a realistic goal for the sniper.
Jonas Hiller (G) Anaheim – Those who were worried that Hiller wouldn't be able to handle the full-time load for the Ducks can rest easy as he may be the biggest reason as to why the Ducks are in the playoff hunt. Fantasy owners may have shied away from Hiller at draft time because of the retirement of defenseman Scott Niedermayer and the trade of James Wisniewski, leaving the Ducks with less than an impressive front. But you can jump back on his bandwagon as he has had a great season with 22 wins to go along with a 2.43 GAA and 92.7 SV%. With five wins in his last six games, Hiller is showing no signs of slowing down.
Logan Couture (C) San Jose– Even before Couture suffered his knee injury versus Toronto on Tuesday he was already in a slump with only one point in his last six games. He is still considered day to day with the injury but even if it's not serious, an injury like this could eliminate that quick burst Couture had earlier this season and make it even more difficult for him to rediscover his scoring touch.
Craig Anderson (G) Colorado – Anderson just hasn't been the same goalie he was last season, and his mediocre play this campaign is starting to throw more games Peter Budaj's way. The Avalanche still want Anderson to start as Budaj is not seen as anything more than a backup goalie, but they also have to put the goalie in net that gives them the best chance to win, and right now that seems to come down to a coin flip each game.
Recommended Pickup
Kevin Bieksa (D) Vancouver – Bieksa is another player that may have been forgotten about at draft time. He had a breakout season in 2008-09, but regressed last season as injuries took their toll. This season a slow start may have landed Bieksa on the waiver wire in many leagues, and if he is still there you may want to go and get him, as he has been on fire lately with three goals and seven points in his last eight games, not bad for a third or fourth defenseman.

A Naples man was arrested after a woman told authorities she found him naked and trying to get "freaky" with her drunken roommate, Naples Daily News reported.
Kelvis Maiguel, 38, was arrested Thursday on one count of battery, according to online records. He posted $2,000 bond later that day and was released from jail.
Man in Miami Rape and Murder Case Wants to Withdraw Plea
Deputies at the Collier County Sheriff's Office said the incident happened after Maiguel and a group of friends came home to a Grand Cypress Circle apartment after drinking at a local bar.
A woman in the apartment said the alleged victim passed out drunk on a couch and Maiguel, who was also drunk, fell asleep on the dining room floor, Naples Daily News said.
The same woman, who lives with the alleged victim, said she was awoken by her roommate, who was bottomless, saying, "No, no stop it!"
Flight Attendant Sexually Assaulted Boy 156 Times: Police
Maiguel, who was naked, said he was trying to get "freaky" with the woman, and later admitted to deputies that he had removed her pants and underwear, according to a report.
The alleged victim said she was able to get away before rape occurred, but Maiguel said he did not intend to have sex with her, according to authorities.
Online jail records listed Maiguel's next court appearance for Dec. 5.

Various ways to Run a Java Project:
1. Using IDEs: The first way by which you can create and run a java program is by using the IDEs (Integrated Development Environment). It is beneficial to use an IDE because of the following reasons:
· Automatic code generation.
· Autocompletion of codes.
· Warning as you type.
· IDE's usually have more semantic knowledge of the language you're working in, and can show you possible problems while typing. Refactoring is much more powerful than the "search replace".
· Organize imports (automatically adding appropriate imports in Java, using directives in C#).
· Keeping a view of files, errors/warnings/console/unit tests etc. and source code all on the screen at the same time in a useful way.
· Integrated debugging, compilation, etc.
Thus various tasks like, Designing, documentation, tracking, developing, building, analyzing, deploying, and maintenance, key stepping stones in an enterprise application, can all be done within an IDE. Thus it helps to code faster than you can do in a notepad or WordPad. That's why programmers mostly prefer IDE for developing and executing applications. Examples of various IDEs are CodeLite, Code::Blocks, DialogBlocks, Eclipse, NetBeans, Komodo IDE, Microsoft Visual Studio and many more.
2. Using Command Line: You can also run a java program using Command prompt. In this case you have to create your java program source code in a text editor, like notepad or WordPad. Save that file with .java extension. That's it, the next thing you will be wishing is to compile and run that java program. So now simply open a command prompt, locate the pointer to the particular directory and folder where your java project is save. Set PATH to your JDK bin directory, like:
C:\mywork>set path=C: \Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_31\bin
Suppose that the name of your java project is "HelloWorld.java". Next compile your java project by writing the following line:
C: \mywork> javac HelloWorld.java
If no error shows up it means your java program is correct and is compiled.So now run the program by writing:
C: \mywork> java HelloWorld
That will give you the output of your program as:
Hello World!
3. Using JAR file: JAR (Java Archive) file is a file that contains the class, image, and sound files for a Java application or applet gathered into a single file and possibly compressed. When a programmer gets a Java program development kit, a small program or utility called "jar" is included. The jar utility lets the programmer create, list, or extract the individual files from a JAR file. Creating JAR file and running java program using it.
4. Using Batch file to execute a java program: You can execute a java program using a batch file also. It runs a program because, when it is executed, the shell program (usually COMMAND.COM or cmd.exe) reads the file and executes its commands. The sequence of commands contained in it are executed sequentially in order and can be displayed on the screen to obtain the desired output.
How to create and execute a program using a batch file.
this is nice atricle
Thank-you for appreciating .

He was arrested for open carrying (whether it was a proper arrest or not, is for the court to decide). There's other examples(and frankly, far better ones) of people being arrested after a self defense incident, that would have been better to point out.

wikiHow to Find and Train a Sheltered Puppy
This article will help you on finding the right sheltered puppy for you and how to care for your pup when you bring it to it's new family home.
1Decide what type of dog is right for you. Research breeds and decide on one or a few that fit your lifestyle.You might decide on making your puppy a family pet, a good friend, a show dog, or a watch dog.
- Make sure your landlord allows dogs, if renting.
- Anticipate how much time he will need for exercise every day and if you are able to provide it.
- Make sure you can afford food, toys, treats, and vet expenses.
2Look for indicators of health. When you find the puppy you like, before taking it in, ask to examine him/her to see if he/she is sick or injured. If the puppy is sick/injured be prepared to spend your time and money to make the puppy better and see if it is suitable to the surroundings in your house. Specifically check for a constant potbelly, eye discoloration, discharge, general stance, extensive licking one area, or avoidance to putting weight on or being touched in an area.[1]
3Do a temperament test. Though these are not 100% reliable (as the puppy's environment helps shape his character), it can provide a good baseline. Before deciding on a puppy it is best to observe the dog to see it's personality and how it acts towards other people, items, animals, noises, and environments. It is also a good idea to see what the dam(mother) and sire(father) are like as your puppy will most likely be very similar in traits.
4Take your puppy to the nearest vet for check-up, they may find a health issue you missed. See if your puppy needs vaccines or any other treatment. While at the vet you can also get your pet microchipped, which is important for when trying to find him/her when she/he gets lost.
5Be prepared to take the puppy home. Before taking the pup home you must have everyday dog essentials ready like a dog bed, food, water/food bowl, dog toys, treats, a dog collar, a dog harness, a kennel, a leash, etc. ..
6Train your puppy to match what you want to use him for (a watchdog, a friend, etc). This can be achieved through a professional positive reinforcement trainer[2] or owner training using resources such as YouTube tutorials or books. [3]

- A training book may be helpful.
- Treat your new puppy with love and be very careful with him/her. Remember, your new puppy needs time to adjust to it's new home.
- Try not to buy accidental litters or puppy store puppies as they often times have not been tested for genetic issues and are under socialized. This can create further issues for you as the dog matures.

MILLSTADT, Ill. — It is dusk in this dreary little town hunched near the Mississippi River about seven miles from Belleville, where Jay Farrar was born. On this crisp, clear early spring evening, Farrar and the members of his band, Son Volt -- drummer Mike Heidorn, bassist Jim Boquist and his multi-instrumentalist brother Dave Boquist -- have gathered for rehearsals on the eve of the release of their second album, "Straightaways" (Warner).
Three empty six packs of bottled beer sit in the corner from the night before as the band members straggle into the sparsely furnished rehearsal space. Farrar settles in behind the drum kit and Jim Boquist picks up an acoustic six-string, and the two begin goofing on the riff from John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillen" before sliding into a Memphis soul groove. It is a private moment, appropos of nothing other than two people enjoying a common, unspoken language.

Floriculture, Branch of ornamental horticulture concerned with growing and marketing flowers and ornamental plants, as well as with flower arrangement. Because flowers and potted plants are largely produced in plant-growing structures in temperate climates, floriculture is largely thought of as a greenhouse industry; however, many flowers are cultivated outdoors. Both the production of bedding plants and the production of cuttings to be grown in greenhouses or for indoor use (foliage plants) are usually considered part of floriculture. See also nursery.

First, the time frame given as 5-10 minutes was misleading, it took more than 24 hours to get the code, and I was about to dispute the payment with paypal.
Second, the instruction were very confusing, although the phone made and model were specified in the order page, the instruction that came with the code were categorized and non of them included clearly my option.
Finally, it worked. But the experience was frustrating to some level.

Legal Question in Criminal Law in South Carolina
Public Disorderly Conduct
Spartanburg, SC
Public Disorderly Conduct charge.. Friday night at a bar my friend was assaulted in the parking lot. He came over to my car, got in and as we were driving off the person kicked the side of my car. We called the police and had them meet us at my house. I was drinking a beer and my friend was trying to clean up a bloody lip when the 2 officers came inside and we explained what was going on. The officer said since we didn't know the name of the person and since we both had been drinking we could not press any sort of charges. I asked about what to do if there was any damage to my car, he asked if I would step outside and allow him to look over the car. I agreed, we went outside and looked around the car there seemed there was no damage. I asked again about my friends lip and he said there was nothing we could do. I said this is bulls**t as I was walking inside the house. He then followed me inside and arrested me for PDC. Suggestions? I was released the next morning. Court in 3 weeks.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: Public Disorderly Conduct
Four things can happen. One, you are entitled to a trial. Two, you can plead guilty. Three, you can persue going into a program as an alternative to prosecution such as PreTrial Intervention. Four, once in a great while, but not often, they will dismiss charges like these. Most people prefer one of the programs. That way you don't run the risk of being found guilty and its a way of getting it off your record. You really should talk with a lawyer.

Services R&D
This document analyses the nature of service R&D activity and growth. The role and significance of R&D in services has been growing rapidly recently, although in the context of services it is also important to note that much innovative activity in the service sector remains of a non-R&D and non-technological nature. Thus, services are becoming more research intensive over time and the significance of innovation to their performance is also increasingly being recognised.

Olympic ski jumping champion Thomas Morgenstern of Austria was out of danger Monday three days after a horrific crash, doctors said, but his participation at the Sochi Games remains unclear.
His doctor Josef Obrist told a news conference that Morgenstern, briefly unconscious on Friday after the ski flying accident, was in a "stable condition", giving him the "definite all-clear".
"I'm so grateful for my recovery. And I'm speechless about the many good wishes here," the 27-year-old, one of Austria's leading gold medal hopes for the Sochi Winter Olympics which get underway on February 7, posted on Facebook.
"I try to read as many as possible of them, what gives me strength. THANK YOU SO MUCH to my family, the medical team and to everybody, who stands by my side!"
Whether he competes in Russia, however, is uncertain, with chief trainer Alexander Pointner saying only he would "keep a space free for Thomas for as long as possible".
The spectacular crash on the Kulm slope in Tauplitz on Friday, Morgenstern's second in a month, saw him lose balance in mid-air and land heavily on his back and head before sliding lifelessly to the bottom.
Unlike ski jumping's usual hill size of 130-140 metres (425-460 feet), ski flying takes place on a 200-metre hill, with jumpers soaring through the air after speeding down an icy track at up to 100 kilometres per hour (60 miles per hour).
Morgenstern already suffered a serious crash during the World Cup event in Titisee-Neustadt on December 15, which left him briefly unconscious in the landing area.
But he escaped with bruises and a broken finger and made an impressive comeback to finish second to new Austrian star Thomas Diethart at the Four Hills Tournament in Bischofshofen last week.
A two-time overall World Cup winner, Morgenstern is one of the stars of the Austrian ski jumping team, winning individual and team gold at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin and team gold again in Vancouver four years later.

Keselowski gets late push from Busch to win at Talladega
Brad Keselowski disagrees, and he showed how to do it Sunday with a calculated plan that sent him to Victory Lane.
Keselowski used a big push from Kyle Busch to pass leader Matt Kenseth, and after leaving the Cambridge native and Daytona 500 winner in their wake,
Keselowski staved off Busch�s attempt to snatch the win. Using a move Keselowski said he had dreamed about, he held on for his second win of the season and second at Talladega.
�I had this whole plan if I ever got in that situation where I was leading; I thought about it and thought about it, dreamed about what to do, and sure enough, going into (turn) three, it was just me and Kyle,� Keselowski said. �I knew the move I wanted to pull. It worked because the guy running second should have the advantage, but I had this move all worked up in my mind.�
Keselowski was the first driver in the last five races at Talladega to take the white flag and hold on for the win. He did it with a plan that left both Busch and Kenseth flat-footed, and both praised Keselowski after the race.
�He�s no dummy, that�s for sure,� said Busch, who wound up second for the second consecutive day.
Busch was the leader on the last lap of Saturday�s Nationwide Series race, and was passed by Joey Logano right at the finish line. He conceded there�s little the leader can do to preserve the victory on the last lap of a restrictor-plate race, and predicted how Sunday would unfold.
�If you�re leading, being pushed, plan on finishing second. That�s all there is to it,� Busch said after Saturday�s defeat.
So he should have been sitting pretty after pushing Keselowski to the front. Instead, Keselowski went high into the third turn, then pulled off of Busch�s bumper to create some separation.
�That allowed me to drive untouched to the checkered flag,� Keselowski said. �It
wasn�t easy to convince myself to do that, but it was the right move.�
Busch initially seemed dumbfounded.
�I must have screwed something up, because we got to turn three and came unhooked,� Busch said. �Just gave the win away over there. Not sure exactly what happened. We definitely need to go back and figure out what it was.�
Kenseth didn�t feel much better. He led seven times for a race-high 73 laps, but believed he gave the win away on the final restart.
A nine-car accident with four laps remaining brought out the yellow flag, setting up a two-lap overtime sprint to the finish. Kenseth, as the leader, got to pick where he wanted to restart and chose the outside line so Roush Fenway Racing teammate Greg Biffle would line up behind him and presumably push him to the victory.
That put Keselowski and Busch together on the inside line, but they drifted back on the restart as Kenseth indeed was able to jump out to a huge lead.
It was probably too big of a lead.
Kenseth got a little too far away from Biffle, which gave the Keselowski-Busch tandem a chance to catch him. The two cars sailed past Kenseth on the outside line.
�I think we had the winning car, really just didn�t have the winning driver,� Kenseth said. �I looked forward for a second, when I looked back, Greg and I were separated, those guys were already outside of him. With me not paying attention, keeping us hooked up, just cost us a shot at the win, cost Greg a shot at the win.�
�I wasn�t too fast. I was just too stupid I guess at the end to keep a win.�
It put Keselowski in Victory Lane for the second time this season, which helps his championship chances. He�s been streaky through the first 10 races of the year, and even with this second victory, he�s only ranked 12th in the Sprint Cup standings.
But those wins should guarantee him at least a wild-card berth into the 12-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field.
�Two wins, with the wild card and all, that almost makes you immune to missing the Chase,� Keselowski said. �This team is going to be strong come Chase time. The best is yet to come.�
The victory continued a hot streak for team owner Roger Penske, who won for the first time in the Sprint Cup Series at Talladega. It was also the first win for manufacturer Dodge at Talladega since Wisconsin native Dave Marcis in 1976.
Penske, meanwhile, has won all four of the IndyCar races so far this season and driver Will Power is leading the series standings.
Penske has never won a Cup title since entering NASCAR in 1972, although he was out of the series from 1981 through 1990. Keselowski gave him a Nationwide Series championship in 2010, his only NASCAR title.
�Obviously, one of the goals in my life is to sit up on that stage (at the championship banquet), and I think he�s the guy that can make it happen this year,� said Penske, who called it the perfect race.
That might be going a little too far, which even Keselowski would admit.
He helped cause a caution with seven laps to go when he ran into the back of former Penske teammate Kurt Busch. Keselowski was apologetic immediately after climbing from his car in Victory Lane.
On the restart with four laps remaining, Penske�s other driver, AJ Allmendinger, was part of the accident that stopped the action again.
It was the last of five cautions in yet another race that featured fairly clean racing.
Kasey Kahne was fourth, followed by Biffle, Clint Bowyer and David Ragan. Janesville native Travis Kvapil was 16th, and Eau Claire native Paul Menard was 17th.

The common belief is that the Independence Party candidate for governor siphoned votes away from the DFL candidates in 2002 and 2006, but this year, Republicans, along with groups that generally align themselves with the GOP, might have reason to worry.
That's because the IP's endorsed candidate is a former Republican who believes he can draw moderate Republican support away from the GOP's endorsed candidate, Rep. Tom Emmer. Some Republican-leaning groups are taking Horner very seriously.
"He is one of the candidates that we would look upon a viable candidate, and a real threat to the progress that we made under the last eight years with Gov. [Tim] Pawlenty," said Scott Fischbach, executive director of Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, a group that lobbies against legalized abortion.
MCCL has issued several press releases and posted several entries on its blog criticizing Horner. Fischbach says Emmer is the only candidate in the race who is not, in his words, "pro-abortion."
"There's a clear, clear distinction between these five leading candidates right now for governor," Fischbach said. "There is only one who will stand up for life. The other four will not."
But the MCCL has said little about the Democrats in the race. Fischbach said that's because they already have clear voting records, and Horner doesn't.
It isn't odd for MCCL to attack a candidate that disagrees with its views, but it's unusual for the group to focus this much time and effort on Horner this early in the campaign.
MCCL isn't the only one. A group called the National Organization for Marriage is running a statewide television ad that singles out Horner and the three DFL candidates for governor.
The Minnesota Family Council's Chuck Darrell, who is speaking for the group that's running the ad, said his organization can't endorse candidates. But, he said, Emmer is the only one who supports a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. Darrell said it remains to be seen if Horner will eat into Emmer's Republican base of support.
"I think a lot of people are looking for a true conservative. That would be a conservative who is not only conservative on social, financial, government, jobs and economic issues but also one who is conservative on social issues like marriage as well," Darrell said.
Horner said he isn't surprised by the criticism. He said the Republican Party and GOP-leaning groups are criticizing him because they're worried about Emmer's stance on issues like the budget and health care.
"I think they see in me that there are many Minnesota Republicans, the Dave Durenberger, the Arne Carlson and the Jim Ramstad kind of Republicans who are not going to move over to a Tom Emmer," Horner said.
"I think Tom Emmer is so far out of the mainstream that that has those narrow interest groups very concerned. So they need to tear me down because they have a weak candidate."
Horner does support allowing same-sex couples to marry. He also said said he's committed to reducing the number of abortions in the state, but has criticized a law requiring a 24-hour waiting period before a woman can have an abortion. He said he would not push to end public funding for abortions. Both are top MCCL initiatives.
Carleton College professor Steven Schier said groups are trying to solidify conservative support for Emmer. He said he thinks some moderate Republicans may see Emmer as too conservative.
"Tom Horner is a threat because he has a Republican background and may well crack the Republican base and take significant Republican votes away from Tom Emmer and deny the governorship to Tom Emmer," Schier said.
Schier said he expects conservative and liberal interest groups to ramp up attacks on Horner if polling shows he's picking up support.

Jim Ray Journal Fourth Installment
Jim Ray rides across America Day 13 | May 17, 2004
Day 13 was very indicative of the number. We were in one of the worst storms I've seen in quite a while. We had eight inches of rain, thunderstorms, lightening and high winds (tornado watches) and flooding. It didn't stop raining the entire day and continued into the night.
We weren't sure whether to stay in College Station another day and wait out the storm, or move ahead to the next location which was Silsbee, Texas. As crazy as it sounds, we decided to drive ahead to the next location. We have to stay on a strict schedule of 113 miles a day to finish in time, so we braved the storm.
We got to Silsbee. It was a small Texas town. We found a quaint motel called the Pine Valley Motel run by a darling lady, Helen. She found out we were from Ohio and had to tell us she also was originally from Ohio–Youngstown. She was probably in her late 70s and very proud of her hotel. She gave us the history of the hotel, how many times she renovated it since 1961 and other trivia. She gave us the "best room" with a view of the pool and hot tub, just an exceptionally sweet person. She found out that I like my morning coffee so at 6:30 a.m. the following morning, she called the room the tell me the coffee was on. She was an early riser.
We left the next morning under very threatening skies, again, not sure whether we were going to get a ride in or not. The ride actually was supposed to start in Kountze, Texas, which was five miles of backtracking. We got to the starting point and decided we would ride until the weather prevented it. We were able to get in 70 miles before it started raining hard again.
We were driving through rural Texas farm land. Scenery was not much to speak of. We saw many types of animals along the way. You know how I like the animals, so the majority of my pictures were of furry creatures. I did get a couple of Jim too.
We ended the day in Deridder, La. We are FINALLY out of Texas. That means we are getting closer to the finish line.
The trip has been extremely fun, but I'm starting to get a little home sick. Each day we finish it brings us a little closer to home. Once we hit Florida, it will feel like we are almost there.
Cross your fingers that the weather will clear so we can get in a good day of riding without getting wet.
We started this morning from DeRidder, La., and ended in St. Francisville, La. The first 50 miles of road were fantastic, wide shoulders, easy riding and driving. The last part of the trip was rural Louisiana back roads which were terrible! Holes, uneven pavement, and lots of dogs chasing Jim. There was one, in particular, which was extremely funny. It was an old, fat dog. He saw Jim ride by and started to chase him, but within about 10 feet, he ran out of steam. It was comical because the dog was so old and so overweight.
The rain that this part of the country had the last few days was really showing on our ride today. You could see the lowland which was severely flooded due to the eight inches of rain we recently received. I think one of the pictures shows how saturated the ground is in this part of the country.
People in Louisiana are friendly. They wave as they go by, and they don't try to buzz the rider by coming too close. They always get over and give Jim lots of room. So, for the most part, the people have been great, but the scenery is not so great.
We stopped at a Best Western in St. Francisville and met two other older gentlmen, Mike and Ray, who were also taking the sourthern tier ride across the country. These guys were 54 and 62 years old. They are by themselves with no car following them. The travel about 50 to 75 miles per day. Really nice men. We got together with them in the evening to tell cycling stories and talk about the rest of trip to St. Augustine. They are from Florida so they will be home soon. They shared some shortcuts with us that they were going to take to cut miles off of the journey. It was nice meeting others who were doing the same trip.
We are getting close to our final destination and really looking forward to spending a day or two in St. Augustine.
We left St. Francisville, La., early this morning around 7:20 a.m. It was a beautiful, foggy morning, with high humidity. We decided to change the route a little bit today. Adventure Cycling had us going a roundabout way to get to our next destination, so we decided to take a more direct route. It was a good decision. We picked up the "official" route about 35 miles into the ride. The roads in Louisiana are terrible. When you get on the back roads of this state, the roads have patchy/uneven pavement with holes.
About 25 miles into the ride, we ran into the two gentlemen we met last night who are doing this same course. They left at 6:30 a.m. this morning and we caught them about one hour 10 minutes into the ride. They average between eight to 11 mph and we averaged 19 mph today. We stopped and talked with them (one of the pictures is with the guys–Mike (54 years old) and Ray (62 years old). Pretty amazing that these men are traveling across country on their bikes with no sag. I'm amazed at the number of people who make this journey. I can only hope to get in that kind of shape when I get home. I'm really motivated to get into shape after this trip.
Today we passed through Tangipahoa, La., Bolivar, La., Richardson, La., Franklinton, La., Springhill, La., and Bogalusa, La. Our plan was to stay in Bogalusa. It has a population of over 10,000 people, but we couldn't find a hotel ANYWHERE in the town. It was only another 21 miles to Picayune, Miss., so we decided to come here instead. Another good decision today.
Jim had a rear tire blow out on the way to our destination today. We've really been lucky (knock on wood) so far with regard to flats and bike problems. I hope that luck continues for the rest of the trip.
The pictures from today are some nice shots taken during the morning fog. The last picture is of the gentlemen we met doing the same journey.
Hope you enjoy today's pictures (sorry, no cows ).
The fifth installment of the online journal continues the Rays journey into Biloxi, Miss.

Do not waste your money with these people. I booked a cruise with CM, checked in via the roll check in process, received a confirmation email from CM confirming my roll check in, then less than three weeks prior to cruise, CM deleted my booking stating that I did not check in.
Absolutely no customer service. I have sent numerous emails requesting information and have no responses to any of my simple questions - the main one being way did CM delete my booking.
You will be truly disappointed with this group, plus you will throw your money away.

THIS was the scene of devastation after a drink-driver smashed into a listed property, causing thousands of pounds worth of damage, with an upmarket car he had just taken off a garage forecourt.
Brick pillars and metal gates were hurled across the back garden of the Country Life house after drink-driver Kevin Canney had failed to negotiate a T junction.
He had been cycling past Europa Garage in Lowford when he saw the vehicle unattended with the key in the ignition.
He clambered into the driving seat and drove off with staff giving chase, but the pursuit did not last long, prosecutor Tom Wright told Southampton Crown Court.
Canney drove straight across the junction and crashed into the Grade II listed property in School Road, Bursledon, where a grandmother had been caring for her five-month-old grandson inside.
The Land Rover Discovery was written off and £8,000 had to be spent on repairs to the property.
The court heard Canney amazingly staggered unhurt from the wreckage and ran off but was discovered hiding in nearby undergrowth after police brought specialist dogs to the scene.
"When he was caught, it was clear he had been drinking," said Mr Wright. "He was taken in custody where he refused to comply with the breath test procedure and provide a specimen for analysis."
At the time, he was on bail for shoplifting when he entered the Co-op in Thornhill and stole £38 worth of meat from a shelf. When challenged by an employee, he pushed her aside and she fell over.
Canney was granted bail after the driving incident and went on to steal from three other convenience stores.
The 35-year-old, who has no settled address, admitted four counts of theft and one each of aggravated taking and driving away without consent, failing to provide a specimen for analysis and having no insurance and a driving licence.
Recorder Michael Parroy QC jailed him for 20 months and banned him from driving for five years.
"This was an act of extraordinary stupidity," he said, passing sentence. "It was a mercy that there was nobody coming the other way at the T junction when you drove across it and you were not injured. Your guardian angel was working hard for you."
The court heard from defence barrister Mark Florida-James how Canney could not remember anything about the incident. He did not want a drug rehabilitation sentence and preferred to remain in prison where he had been making progress over his drug taking.
"It has ruined your life," the judge told him. "Unless you take this opportunity, it will ruin it still further."
The crash on February 26 was the third time a car had come crashing through the home of owners Adam and Colleen Chafe. The first was in January of last year and the second happened the following May.
Mr Chafe, 50, who owns CEI Electrical in Hedge End, told the Echo at the time of the crash: "Had it been summer, my family could have been in that garden. Something needs to be done."
