Spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso could hardly have chosen a better game to score his third brace for the La Roja.
On Saturday the Real Madrid player not only played his 100th game for his national team — becoming only the fifth player to achieve that milestone — he also did so in the quarterfinal of the European Championships.
His goals in the 19th and 90th minutes gave his side a 2-0 victory against France in the Donbass Arena in Donetsk.
It was also Spain's first-ever win in a competitive match against the Les Bleus and keeps them in line to successfully defend their Euro title.
"This was certainly a wonderful way to celebrate my 100th game," he said.
"I can't remember when last I scored with a header and in fact, I can't remember if I ever did. I certainly have not scored many goals with my head and I am really pleased that it happened today."
"We have gained in experience and this has allowed us to grow," he said.
"But it has also made it more difficult for us because our opponents know the way we play and are even more eager to beat us."

I quickly grew tired of poems about
the supposed gentleman who wanted
to turn his gal into a flower.
I thought about what it might be like
to be turned into a
flower --
maybe domesticated in a garden
first, then plucked
or plucked straight from the wild.
Stuck into a vase
on display for people to watch you
slowly wither.
People admiring you
with punctuated looks of sentiment,
sniffing you while they watch you
By chance
someone might press you into a book
to preserve you for later admiration,
only able to touch you like a
so your petals don't disintegrate into dust.
Nah, I would rather she be a
have her petals embrace me.
She might try clawing out my eyes with rage
and slam the kitchenette
in just that way I can't stand,
before we cuddle together,
an ashtray between us
smoldering with the stacks of Pittsburgh or
Chicago or Buffalo City.
And even if the blue light flickering off the walls
can't fill all the empty spaces
in our hearts,
at least we chose to be there
and lived.
Lived beyond
living for the sole purpose
of dying to look good in the casket,
only to be pressed into a mausoleum.
When the time comes,
I want my corpse to feed
the forces that don't give up
fighting against contrived,
manicured lawns --
that don't stop fighting to break through
concrete city slabs
with the faces of dandelions and chickory,
blossoms exploding
into bright ruckus
while making love to the sky.

"i am with the roots
of flowers
entwined, entombed
sending up my passionate blossoms
as a flight of rockets
and argument...."
-- Charles Bukowski,
"The Roominghouse Madrigals: Early Selected Poems, 1946-1966"
part ii
There was a time
when I wanted to be one of them,
to somehow fit in
with the fancy rituals
of their high society.
But the da-Dumb, da-Dumb, da-Dumb
made me want to puke,
made me want to bounce my head
off the table, hopefully causing the bone china
and forks
to add clatter to their snobbish
Words like "gossamer"
flitted around the room,
word so thin but veiled
and distant,
even the candle light appeared
to shy away from those dry wings.
The snobs talked about how
I was too simple with words.
They did so with such a simple,
the irony provided oxygen for flame
to devour.
And the critics proclaimed that
I wasn't able to love,
when really, I just wanted to get away
from them,
smoke a cigarette in peace
while hitchhiking back to my chubby cherub,
feel her belly fall and rise against my skin.
I was finally able to love,
and she died.
The previous pain had been for show:
"Look at the drunk ham
feeling sorry for himself."
But when she died,
I distilled tears
into a different type of proof.
I was no longer willing to be
their carnival attraction
placated under the table,
listening to them upstage each other.
When I was able to stand again,
a cold, sharp thing was birthed in my mind,
I wanted to shoot them all between the eyes,
splatter their degrees and deeds
with their blood and brains.
I found peace though -
stopped wanting to be one of them.
I found peace
away from their chatter
about what to carve on their headstones
or what type of fancy imported granite
their mausoleums should be constructed of.
I found peace in readying myself to be
consumed by
to be perspired into the open, fathomless sky --
the same deep blue as the bird
who finally pecked his way
through the rusted cage of my heart,
freeing us both.

"A Flowers Wilt"
Witness the small existence
that abides the beauty of-----------
Freelancers all around,
Just to get a good look.
A baneful abrasion, the flower took
It captivates you -------------
Reels you, steals from you,
Until you pick the right flawless touch.
Dandelions swaying thin,
Here we fall like petals.
Ready to exploit, the beauty of-------
Inhale the fragrance,
Courtyard azure eyes,
Embarking in a wishful eternity,
A crush they become, when loveliness up and left.
A bully against arrogant, threw feminine perfumed veils
Tulips waiting for the better auspicious' sky
Asters claims the eclipse's,
-dinginess censors it from the brilliance of the sun.
A lonely rose
In My Helix World-
The out-and-out are born.
Cries in the dimness,
A sweet Lotus echo'
Slight yelps of agony, carried off by pollen breeze.
The earth revolves to fast,
Injections of herbal essence in the wind
For a split second, we feel pixie dust
Channel the essential, it fades
Earlier beauty, calmness-
A flourish smile,
Rusk of flower, a bluebird's bread.
Like candles and dew, they stream and limber energy
Opposing others of its humanity,
Against the command of its importance,
Pierced by its own elegance,
Thriving slowly of its own will,
A short story, gone stray!
Tonight, we plant a tree,
The Flower wilts
The gardener cries
VINEYARDS of HAPPINESS --------------------- GARDEN of SORROW
There is no greater Happiness,-----------when-----------Pulling away sorrow
then being in my lover's arms,-------letting go of----Broken memories
Kissed by his hungry lips,-------------------------------Rejecting all hunger, of love
spoiled by his sweetest charms.-----------------------The surface spoiled look in his face
There is no greater Happiness,------------------------Holding the depth of solitary sorrow
feeling my love's warm embrace,-----------------------Feelings of cold,no emotions on Gods grace
Meeting in our secret GARDEN,-----------------------Prolonging the visit to our VINEYARD
Opening dreams' golden gates.------------------------the door you open leads into dark woods
There is no greater Happiness,-------------------------Reviving every motion of sorrow
and there 'll never be ,for me,----------------------------trapped forever inside of me
till that far promised day,------------------------------------Broken promises day by day
My Honey love s' here with me.------------------------a wound so fresh, damaged like a twig
HAPPINESS -------------------------to-------------------- SADNESS
Happiness to me,is as easy as can be,----------------Sadness triumphs over anything in me
a doughnut,a cup of English Tetley tea.------some nights----------A bucket of ice cream,a bottle of Jack Daniel
Lying on my beige leather sofa,------------some days-------------Slouching up against the wall
Covered by a Woolen red tartan rug,------------- tears fallen like a red river on the carpet
Hugging and Kissing,Fondling and snogging,--- some mornings ---Crying and Weeping,Wiping the Sobbing
Just watching T.V.------------------------------------------Just imaging you
Love is a Pink Rose,--------------------------------------------A rose in the dark woods
with a crown of thick Grey thorns,--------------------------Like a cloud following you
delicate and strong.-----------------------------------------------Tilting till its gone

June Bells Flowering under the Trees
Scarce had it rain'd -- blue hued
drops showering down;
in the witching hour I rode,
where the earth is overrun by weeds,
yellow fringed with black-eyed-susans;
trees overhung with wild cherries.
Pacing past the sequester'd glen,
following the trail where tall beeches grow:
long sleeved and long limb'd;
and leaves falling in curling frills.
Then I heard a merry song; sweetest tune
enough to make a maiden swoon;
soon turning round a winding bend,
a field of dripping june bells;
I sighted them, a thousand and more
in blue slippers scatter'd wide.
Seated myself on a moss cover'd stone,
as one aptly does after a long ride.
Somewhere beats an earthly heart,
someone breathes a heaving sigh;
Eyes turn to the darken'd clouds hanging by,
and to the lowering skies;
then far to the place where airy spirits roam,
and to the sepulchred ground
where unruffled I lie in my grave,
under the tufts of june bells.

erased to try and get it published
Under the care of sun and rain
My leaves have unfurled
My buds have burst forth
My own will has been done
This was my beginning
Through the seasons
Spring brought me to life
Summer grew me to new heights
The fall must come sometime
The frost will encase my barbs
And I will return to meditation
Waiting patiently for my rebirth
For your light to peek through clouds
Your moon to hold me within night
When spring returns...
I will dance in the wind
A never ending flower
What is ? ----- Is it ?
What is happiness ?
A hot summer day, walk barefoot in cool grass
Picking a large bouquet of summer flowers
and then merge a flower crown
Maybe get a good advice of
flower Daisies : love me, love me not,
love me, love me not.......
What is happiness ?
Listen to the frogs love song
by the small pond in the woods
Enjoy a fantastic and very light spider webs
Who can do better than the spider
See the raindrops on a leaf,
which glistens in the sun shining like jewels
Meadow which is full of yellow dots when
Buttercup is smiling and nodding
What is happiness ?
Hand in hand on charity trail
be giddy with love
A tender and gently kiss of the one you loved
The dream of a family, have children
and experience that new life is born
Living life together for better or worse
and that the device love never ends
Happiness for me is that you are here

Flowers bloom
And flowers wilt.
Flowers blush
And flowers fade.
The eternity is only in me-
The twig that bears the flowers.
Sparrows are born
And sparrows die.
Sparrows fly
And brighten the sky.
That who nurtures sparrows is me-
A cozy make of a twig upon a twig.
The sun fades
And moon is born.
The twilight blurs
And moonlight spreads.
All the soothing moonlight beams are me-
A crisscross of unfathomed twigs.
Whether in its birth
Or in its death;
In the heart
Of its heart;
The entire beauty is none but one-
A design of mysterious twigs.
Viewed from the snow covered mountain
Slopes laden with flower beds like
Colorful vase of flowers
I saw the* Him Kamal flower
I asked, "Why are you all alone?
Beauty is to be adored"
Should give yourself before
Your petals fall to dust".
Quick came the response from flower
"Am not lonely, enjoy these heights
Shelter of blue umbrella".
I asked if I crush your petals
The flower said he would be glad
Its fragrance will radiate.
Purpose of life fulfilled
If destroyed not admired.
Nearby look at the snowy streams
Ripples flowing kicking each other
Exhilarating music.
Our life like ever flowing streams
Water running towards ocean
Currents never turning back
Perennial flow of life
Small life merging in big.
The nature is peace all around
She only disturbs who disturbs
She teaches wisdom to those
Praise her beauty, not destroy her.
Develop the aesthetic sense
To feel the nature's beauty.
Looking into the sky
Searching their gardener.

Rookie relief pitcher Luis Valdez is having visa problems in the Dominican Republic and isn't expected to report to spring training for at least two or three more days.
He had 27 saves and a 3.28 ERA in 58 appearances for Class AAA Gwinnett in 2009, with 75 strikeouts in 71-1/3 innings.
Valdez pitched in three games (0-1, 3.38 ERA) in his first major-league callup and is considered a longshot among the five or more relievers expected to compete for one or possibly two spots in the opening-day bullpen.

In Holland they have a curious tradition. In June when a student school ends the studies, they put a flag out of the house with the backpack on top of it.
Tag Archives: The Netherlands
A foreigner in The Netherlands (2) – Biking: Den Haag, Hoek Van Holland, Delft
The Netherlands is a very particular place where to live, in the good and in the bad; one of the amazing possibility is that having a bike make you able to go wherever you want. There are biking paths basically everywhere, even along the highways.
In this post I would like to talk about a very nice excursion of circa 50/60 Km I did last month: Den Haag, Hoek van Holland, Delft, because I think is an amazing trip to do in a sunny day during the weekend.
The journey starts in Den Haag (A/H), more precisely in Scheveningen, and continue following the coast in direction South-East; until the land ends you reach Hoek van Holland (B), a beach city situated at the end of the canal connecting the North sea to Rotterdam's harbour (considered one of the biggest in the world). In fact it looks like a river but looking the shapes of the shores around it looks artificial.
The way to H. van Holland is composed by different shorts paths and pass toward different landscapes: forest, grass, dune, with few climbs and declines that makes it a bit wilder (do not expect the same 'definition' you might have experienced in other countries, but is really beautiful). Quite a lot of people ride on that path with any kind of bikes, from traditional oma-fiets to racing ones, anyway the road is quite big and there is room for everybody.
While arrived in Hoek van Holland, the sun was shining in the sky (a beautiful blue sky), and was the official beginning of the summer/beach season. All bars were opened, in disco-mode since 2 o'clock in the afternoon, tons and tons of people already there in the morning, as much walking from the city, coming to the beach. Was really crowded. There was an open market and was almost impossible to walk through there.
In Holland that's normal. Whenever the sun show up, people will show up outside as well. Streets, bars, everywhere you can enjoy it will be crowded. Other populations, living in countries with the same weather, wouldn't do the same. It's quite impressive.
The trip continues in direction South, following the canal of Rotterdam's harbour, toward an industrial area, impressive to see windmils, warehouses and crumbling old buildings, sometimes a huge boat was passing through the canal. The path was surrounded by concrete and cement, not really beautiful and honestly neither good smelling, probably quite polluted compared with the rest of the country.
While traveling in direction South you might find different path possibilities, two of them were to bike until Maasluis or turn before in direction North-East. While the wind was blowing from North-East, and the expectation were quite tiring, the decision was to short the return and turn in direction of De Leer before Maasluis, and then proceed on the way to Delft.
De Leer is a normal dutch city, in my opinion doesn't have anything particular, just a church that was not really straight anymore (a dutch torre di Pisa).
After De Leer there is a biking path, passing in the countryside, between greenhouses, fields, bridges on canals. The area is quite wild (for what can be considered wild in The Netherlands ;)) and peaceful, I wish all the biking path would have been done like that one.
Once arrived in Delft, direction Rijswik and then Den Haag. Google maps said even more than 55 Km, and after that you might notice that your bottom would have a shape complementary to the seat.
Anyway amazing trip!
A foreigner in The Netherlands (1)
This post is the first of a series where I will describe and comment the lifestyle, the culture up here in The Netherlands.
Now is the right moment to start writing.
Why now and not anytime before?
Living¹ in a foreign country is always harder than living in your own country. The whole period is composed by alternate phases: positive and negative. In the initial phase the enthusiasm, the discover of "the new" (place, culture) can be fascinating and show everything in a positive and amazing way. Afterwards is coming an opposite phase, where you don't feel at home, you don't feel accepted and you miss your own country, sometimes after bad days or bad experiences.
These phases are like sinusoidal, with a parabolic semi-circle up and down; while at the beginning the parabolic is higher and long in time; with years it becomes lower and stabilize in a way that the average point is located above or below the zero, depending of your feeling about the country.
Right now I feel I can write good, bad and funny things about The Netherlands with a decent fair point of view. I cannot assure to make everybody happy but as always I won't mind to change or adjust my ideas ;)

Calculate IBAN (International Bank Account Number) in The Netherlands
In The Netherlands, the European rule to use only IBAN for all bank transfer is not applied, yet.
The problem come when you don't have a national bank account and you need to pay a bill or someone. Usually they provide you only the account number and 90% of the cases without the possibility to ask for the IBAN.
Fortunately exist a IBAN calculator here, which provide you the automatic calculation of IBAN and BIC.

Family Traveling with Young Children
Cleanliness is the most important requirement in a hotel room, and the room that I had at this hotel did not meet even the most minimal expectations. The carpet in our room was dirty and had stains all over. The room felt run down and needed to be updated. The common areas, however, seemed like they had been updated and were kept up. The hotel had an indoor pool and a free continental breakfast which was about average. Due to the cleanliness of the room, I could not recommend this hotel to anyone. At the very least, this hotel needs to replace the carpets and the mattresses. ...

No coffee in the morning, was out and when I asked if there was more I was ignored.. Very close to Hollywood though, so if your looking for a cheap 1/2 way clean place then you may consider this.

Bonny..regarding Hillary, you're taking that out of context. What she was asking is what does it matter if the group of Islamic extremists who attacked the embassy did so because they were pizzed off over the video....or...of they were pizzed off about soemthing that happened years ago. And I agree with her....find out who it was and kill them but why nit-pick as to exactly WHY they were upset. And, as for Kerry, it all comes down to when he made that comment (assuming that he DID make it).

When the drivers were set free to race, we saw F1 at its chaotic and unpredictable best--Hamilton winning under immense pressure, but with an element of controversy. Alonso crashing out dramatically, Kimi battling fearlessly for every point he could grab, Massa and Kubica fighting it out in the closing laps just like Villeneuve and Jabouille back at Dijon in '79, and the heartbreak of Mark Webber losing out on a potential first win thanks to the `kid' Vettel.
Not every race can be as exciting as that. In recent years we,'ve had too many monotonous races. But when F1 has a good race, or a great one, there is still no other sport on earth that can touch it.
ec: How do you answer that age-old question: "How do I get to be a race snapper?"
KS: Practice, practice, practice. Use national races to build up a portfolio. Don,'t be afraid to send your portfolio to many different people, but be prepared for rejection. Also, don,'t expect to leap straight into F1. Like most other professions, it,'s nearly always a case of starting at the bottom and working your way up. And the bottom rung may not even be working as a photographer. Be prepared to bide your time and learn the industry before progressing.
ec: Do you still attend most rounds of the F1 circus, or is it more rewarding handling business affairs?
KS: I still like to attend as many races as possible, as my passion for the sport is undiminished. I don't shoot as much as I used to. The running of the company means that role is better left to my staff. My work in the paddock is securing the contacts and the business that keeps the company running. Most of our business is still done in the paddock.
That said, I still get the same buzz on race day. I miss morning warm-up--the light was invariably perfect--but the rest of the day remains the same. The paddock atmosphere building in intensity as the race start approaches, the grid with the palpable tension among the teams and drivers, the ferocious energy of the start and the thrill of capturing any incidents that may come your way during the race, the finish and the podium celebrations,--they're all just as thrilling and inspiring as I approach my 400th GP.

Access Today: September 2010
Long awaited, the U.S. Department of Justice has adopted revisions to Title II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The amended regulations were published in the Federal Register September 15, 2010. These final rules will take effect March 15, 2011. Compliance with the 2010 Standards for Accessible Design is permitted as of September 15, 2010, but not required until March 15, 2012. Changes to the ADA regulations include DOJ adoption of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. The 2010 ADA Standards have been harmonized with the Architectural Barriers Act. They also include scoping and technical provisions for facilities not previously addressed including recreation facilities, sports courts, amusement rides, golf courses, playgrounds, swimming pools, spas, boating facilities, and fishing piers.

NCA and NPS Renew Cooperative Agreement Focused on Inclusion of People with Disabilities in Parks, Recreation and Tourism
The National Park Service has renewed its five-year cooperative agreement with the National Center on Accessibility at Indiana University. This is the fifth time NPS has renewed its cooperative agreement with IU since NCA was created in 1992 and this is the second consecutive 5-year agreement. "We are pleased to renew and extend our relationship with the National Park Service," says NCA Executive Director, Dr. Sherril York. "It demonstrates not only the National Park Service commitment to inclusion of visitors with disabilities, but also the agency's commitment to training and research that can benefit the entire industry of parks, recreation and tourism."
LEAD Pre-Conference Opens Discussion on Accessibility of the Cultural Arts to People with Visual Impairments
More than 100 professionals gathered in San Diego last week to discuss barriers, programmatic opportunities and technology innovations for people with visual impairments to access museums and the cultural arts. The event, hosted by the National Center on Accessibility, was a pre-conference session to the LEAD (Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disability) Conference. Presentations were made by Beth Ziebarth, Director, Accessibility, Smithsonian Institution; Rebecca Fuller and Bill Watkins, RAF Models; Steve Landau, TouchGraphics; Larry Goldberg, Director of Media Access, National Center for Accessible Media; and Michele Hartley, National Park Service Harpers Ferry Center.
The LEAD Conference culminated the week's events with a dinner and presentation of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts LEAD Award. Ray Bloomer, Director of Education and Technical Assistance at the National Center on Accessibility, was presented with the Award for Excellence in Accessibility Leadership (Individual). The WGBH Media Access Group was presented with Organization Award for Excellence in Accessibility Leadership. Other award recipients included Judy Litt and Courtney Egg who were presented with the Emerging LEAD-er Award.
Summer Heat Keeps NCA Staff Busy on the Road
|Michelle Cook, NCA Accessibility Specialist, measures the slope of the ramp access route to the Pearson Air Museum at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.
Funny how when July rolls around, senior staff at NCA start joking about how summer used to be our "slow season." That's certainly not the case anymore. In fact, NCA staff is busy raking up frequent flier miles with the demands of several new projects. In June, NCA hosted its Accessibility Management in Parks and Recreation training course in Portland. While in the Pacific Northwest this June, NCA conducted comprehensive physical and programmatic accessibility assessments of Fort Vancouver National Historic Site (Vancouver, WA) and Klondike Gold Rush (Seattle, WA). Assessments of the parks are a new project between NCA and the National Park Service Accessibility Management Program where 40 small, non-fee national parks will be assessed over the next two years. NCA staff has developed quite the expertise in park assessments following on the heels of a 12-park pilot assessment project with the National Park Service and other special projects such as assessment of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
During the June trip, staff focused assessment attention on historic Fort Vancouver along the Columbia River which was once the principal supply depot of the Hudson's Bay Trading Company. Further north, staff assessed the Seattle park unit that interprets the story of the stampede to the Yukon gold fields in 1897.
In California, NCA staff conducted an accessibility assessment of the Eugene O'Neil National Historic Site, the secluded Northern California home of the Nobel Prize winning playwright. Closer to home, NCA staff also assessed the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial to make recommendations to the park for improving physical and programmatic access for visitors with disabilities.
NCA Launches Survey on Golf Participation by People with Disabilities and People who are Aging
NCA has launched an online survey among people with disabilities and people who are aging concerning their participation in the game of golf. A number of important events have occurred in recent years such as the invention or improvement of assistive devices for use in golf; development of ADA guidelines for recreation facilities including golf facilities; and an increase in the number of organizations promoting golf for persons with disabilities. While one might assume that facilitators to pursuing golf have increased and barriers may have decreased, there is a need to determine the level of participation in golf by persons with disabilities, and what helps or hinders one's interest in pursuing the game. The purpose of this study is to examine why someone does or does not participate in golf. In other words, what encourages or discourages a person with a disability or health condition to play golf. The study is being conducted under the leadership of Drs. Sherril York and Kiboum Kim at the National Center on Accessibility at Indiana University, in partnership with the Wadsworth Golf Charities Foundation. Read more >
Call for Participants for Wheelchair Transfer Study
The Human Engineering Research Laboratories with the University of Pittsburgh is seeking individuals in the Chicago area to participate in a research study on wheelchair transfers. The research team will be in the Chicago area September 29 through October 1 in conjunction with the U.S. Access Board meeting. Participation includes completing a questionnaire, recording body measurements, and assessing strength, ability to reach, and transferring from the wheeled mobility device to a different surface. This study is funded in part by the U.S. Access Board. For more information, contact Clinical Coordinator Stacy Eckstein, email@example.com or by phone at (412) 954-5287.

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - Attorney General Pam Bondi says six additional states will join Florida and 19 other states in a lawsuit against the Obama Administration's health care law.
Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Ohio, Wisconsin and Wyoming will join the coalition of states that have filed a lawsuit in federal court in Florida. Bondi made the announcement Tuesday.
The states claim the health care law is unconstitutional and violates people's rights by forcing them to buy health insurance by 2014 or face penalties.
Government attorneys say the states do not have standing to challenge the law and want the case dismissed.
Lawsuits have been filed in a couple of other states and it's expected the Supreme Court will ultimately have to resolve the issue.

Georgia tight end Orson Charles has been mentioned in the mess that Yahoo! Sports is reporting about the University of Miami and its relationship with a notorious booster named Nevin Shapiro. Shapiro is a convicted felon who, in several prison interviews, claims he provided impermissible benefits to dozens of Miami players and recruits.
Charles is listed among those recruits with whom Shapiro claims to have had impermissible contact. But, on face value at least, it doesn't look like he is anything but a bystander in all this.
The bombastic report, written by Yahoo! Sports reporter Charles Robinson, merely alleges that Charles was escorted by a Miami assistant coach to Shapiro to be given "a recruiting pitch." As we all know, Charles rather famously signed with Georgia. Shapiro is incarcerated in federal prison in Atlanta after being convicted for his role in a $930 million Ponzi scheme.
Current and former Miami players and student-athletes from all over are implicated by Shapiro and other sources in the extensive report, which includes thousands of supporting documents such as bank statements, hotel folios, cell phone records and corroborating quotes from athletes. Here's the specific passage in which Charles is mentioned (along with several other recruits):
Among the specific incidents, Shapiro or other sources say Hurtt, Hill, Stoutland, Pannunzio and Allen all delivered top-tier recruits to Shapiro's home or luxury suite so the booster could make recruiting pitches to them. Among the players who were ushered to Shapiro while they were still in high school: Eventual Miami commitments Ray-Ray Armstrong, Dyron Dye and Olivier Vernon (prompted by Hurtt); eventual Florida commitments Andre Debose (Hurtt) and Matt Patchan (prompted by Stoutland and Pannunzio); eventual Georgia commitment Orson Charles (Pannunzio); and eventual Central Florida commitment Jeffrey Godfrey (Allen).
A hot-link on Charles' name carries readers to a page that provides more details of on Charles and his encounter with Shapiro, including Shapiro's account of the meeting:
"Orson Charles was a tight end out of Plant City [High School] who was Robert Marve's teammate. And because I had a real close relationship with Robert, Robert's high school coach, Robert Weiner, came to Miami, Marve brought him to my house and he was with Orson Charles. I showed [Charles] my closet. The reason why I show all the kids my closet is because that's where I had like 50 to 70 UM game-worn jerseys of all the best players in the last however long. That was our first visit. I saw him a second time and I think it was a Miami football camp."
Charles' name is also on a list of players Shapiro mentions that appears next to the text of the story. Again, click HERE to read the entire report from Yahoo!Sports. Here's an Associated Press story on Charles' connection and here's a link to The AP report about the story.
UGA officials did not return messages sent late Tuesday night seeking comment about Charles. Wednesday morning Athletic Director Greg McGarity said via email UGA is checking into it.
If and when they respond, I suspect they will say something similar to what Alabama spokesperson Doug Walker said: "The University of Alabama is aware of the story, but we will have no further comment."
Joe Pannunzio was the tight ends and special teams coach at Miami under former head coach Randy Shannon and is now the first-year director of football operations at Alabama. Bama's new offensive line coach, Jeff Stoutland, is also implicated in the Yahoo! Sports report.
Charles, a junior from Tampa, is a preseason All-SEC first-team selection expected to be one of the Bulldogs' main offensive weapons this season. He had 49 career receptions for 796 yards and five touchdowns.
We'll try to sort all this out from Georgia's end on Wednesday.

I have to agree with UGA Class 14…the story "implicating" OC says a whole lot of nothing. I think if Orson did anything inappropriate he would probably be a Hurricane…really wish "reporters would leave players alone unless there were any direct allegations…just sounds like name dropping from a bitter crook to me.

Not too worried, but I would be a bit concerned if I was a Bama fan. Sounds like this is just the beginning of a big mess for Pannunzio and Stoutland. They may not be involved, but at the rate the NCAA works… it'll linger on and on and on…

JE- Where does Towers imply that Orson Charles took any part in this. 'it doesn't look like he is anything but a bystander in all this."
Maybe you should actually read the article before jumping to accusations.
I am happy to see AJC report about it, because everyone else is.
"Shapiro said he gave money, cars, yacht trips, jewelry, televisions and other gifts to a list of players including Vince Wilfork, Jon Beason, Antrel Rolle, Devin Hester, Willis McGahee and the late Sean Taylor. Shapiro also claimed he paid for nightclub outings, sex parties, restaurant meals and in one case, an abortion for a woman impregnated by a player. One former Miami player, running back Tyrone Moss, told Yahoo! Sports he accepted $1,000 from Shapiro around the time he was entering college."

Bla, Bla Bla, Bla………Come on AJC, you guys can do better than this!!!……..If Orson Charles is at all guilty………so is the whole dadgum SEC……….I know we are what? 17 or 18 days from kick-off, but lets talk football not all this "grassy knoll" garbage…………Mabe when we kick the dang football to start the season………all this foolishness will stop.

One has to ask the question: If Miami was handing out all this cash, gifts, women and benefits, what did UGA do to land Orson Charles?
It had to be pretty darn good to get him to cross over to the black and red.
Makes you go..ummmmmmmm!

Once again, the AJC does it job and reports the BIGGEST College Football Story of the year that implicates( although minor) a player currently on scholarship at Georgia, two assistants at Alabama, players at Florida and yet a group of Georgia uniformed, we are victims, UGA does nothing wrong, the NCAA and SEC are always picking on us, the AJC is biased against us dumb fans and bloggers want the AJC to ignore the story.
Get past it dudes and just face the facts, the program at UGA has not been relevant in over 8 years and that was a minor blip on the radar screen and it has been over 30 years since a title was won. Even GT has won a title since then.
firemarkricht.net has a time clock running since the last title….how funny…

Please go back and reread the story. Yahoo has evidence repeated over and over again, bank records, court documents, verification from multiple witnesses and Miami has a long history of running a program that is on the edge to begin with.
I guess Jan Kemp just made up her story as well.
Get some facts and learn to read, it will serve you well.

Red Dawg, you are one of those fans I was speaking of above. The sports writers and reporters should only write positve articles, stay away from reporting anything that does not cast the No.1 party school, scooter wrecking, suspended license, helmet stealing, public intoxicating, hit and run, former Fulmer Cup trophy winning school as unfavorable.
I guess the AJC should not report any injuries suffered or lack of production by the offense or defense either.
You need to go back to UGA and hope the education sticks next time around.

Wow, this makes USC and the Reggie Bush deal look like child's play! University of Miami. The hero of Auburn Iniverstiy and what Auburn strives to become. The Miami in the middle of nowhere that can BOOSTER the best players in the land to hang with Bama!
On another SERIOUS note. Have you read the full Yahoo report? Man this was going on for 10 years and yes it is ALL true as there is confirmation and verification of every thing from one source or another and many times multiple sources and there will be more witnesses coming out, hundreds of them.
The thing that KILLS me is that they have this LEGAL program where if you DONATE so much to the school, you get to BUDDY UP with a player for the season and then get to expand from there as big as you want. I mean talk about inviting trouble by the NCAA! This is legal! Man this makes it so easy. I mean is this how Auburn has done it for 20 years too?
What also blows my mind is that no one checked up on the players ove all these years from the University. Not anyone in the athletic department, administration, compliance office or if they did they looked the other way. One person said something but it went nowhere and apparently the head of compliance did a background check on Shapiro, found out he was part owner of a sports agency and looked the other way. Coaches were involved too. In football and basketball. The NCAA compliance officer or whatever title he has that scolded USC when it was sanctioned, was at MIAMI while all this was taking place an now he works in compliance for the NCAA! ROFLMFAO!
Man this is just the tip of the iceberg! Read this LOOOOOONNNNNGG report on Yahoo sports! They did the investigation on Reggie Bush and broke it open too remember? This is significantly larger and involved players AND coaches over 20 years. Criminal activity, money, large gifts, plane trips for family, girlfriends, bounties on players(Tebow and that FL ST Qb that escapes me) I could go on and on and on. The bottomline is: Miami is in DEEP. Death Penalty territory and LACK OF INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL IS A GIVEN. It is simlar to USC because they let agents on and out and run free at practice and in LOCKER ROOMS! At least this guy was booster, but he just buddied up was the next generation "LUTHER CAMPBELL" and hooked up the players with his PARTNER when it was time for the draft. HE WAS ALL OVER CAMPUS had picture with the president of the university. Man I could go on and on. Just read the article and lets not get any Miami recruits or players that leave because they might be wanting for us at UGA to "show them the money" too! Funk that! Hey Orosn might have taken something, who knows, or he just might have been invited to their patry to TRY to get him to come there. Shapiro did get in the the recruiting part too and tried to help get many players to down to Miami. It wa like a "LUTHER CAMPBELL VIDEO"! Pop pop that coochie pop pop that coochie baby! Jewlery, cash, cars, tickets, trips, prostitutes, strippers, whatever the players needed or wanted, they got it….. big time. Pop that coochie!

August 17th, 2011
2:46 am
Hey Orson was named as a player who may have had a benefit, like a prostitute? hey that happens all over at most Universities Ok? They send these "pretty coeds" to show you around and "take care " of you them there mouth happens to fall in your lap or something. So whatever it was I now this: It did not WORK cuz OC is at UGA!
Hey it is not AJC doing this, this is NATIONAL NEWS OK? Yahoo sports reported his name and did a lengthy investigation. I do not know if there is any verification or witnesses to OC doing anything wrong that was reported. This is ongoing so hey if Orson got a really good lap dance or was just at a party, he needs to come clean. Let me go back and see how the report said OC was involved.
August 17th, 2011
2:51 am
It just said Orson was brought in, as were many other players, so Shapiro could make a "recruiting pitch" to him. No allegations other than he was a recruit and was brought over to try to win him over by a booster. If that is all that it was, then not much smoke in that so I dont expect any fire. It is all good right now. Orson obviously has a good head on his shoulders and escaped that trap. Best recruiting choice he made.
August 17th, 2011
3:37 am
Now the NCAA is taking the advice and story from a convicted felon. During his free call he called the NCAA? I gave Doug Flutie 10 bucks for lunch money…..LOL How about writing an article on that…………………………SAD in all sorts of ways………………
August 17th, 2011
3:39 am
So far Orson has done nothing wrong. He was taken by an assistant coach to see a booster and get a recruiting pitch.
Miami on the other hand is in a world of deep dodo. They could get the "death penalty" in 2 sports. This will make USC, OSU, GT and NC look minor. ACC now has had 3 schools in trouble with the NCAA within the past year.

This 5′9″ sleaze says Orson came to his house and looked at his closet. Whoop-tee-freakin'-doo….
Just look at all them butthurt techie trolls trying to roll on this. Gives me great lulz pumpin' through my veins.
Nothing will come of this – unless Orson lies like the treacherous Yechie players – which he will NOT do because he is awesome and tech lies and cheats.
LOL@ YECH and GO DAWGS!

At the absolute most, O Charles will have to miss a few games just for stepping his foot in pelican booboo and not catching it until he got back in the house…lol. If we play him, he won't cost us any games. This is all Miami's mess. Word to all D1 programs: Cut the bag men now!!!. Fellas, if the NCAA wants to survive, they have to come up with a way to pay the players. And no, tennis, golf, and volleyball players do not have to receive the same compensation, but they do have to get something. Compensation should be determined by the gross revenue of each individual sport and all athletes get a certain percentage, say 20% for starters. They should unionize or form a national student-athlete coalition and force the NCAA and it's member institutions into a CBA. That DOES meet the standard of equal pay for equal play. So the argument about paying all the athletes the same amount does not apply. Heck even Boise St. faces probation for a female tennis player…hahhahahha. If this doesn't happen within the next 15 to 20 years, these future Super conferences will just break off and form independent leagues, compensate the players themselves, and get even bigger TV packages. Real Talk. The alternative is to provide a need-based grant of up to $15,000 per scholarship player, per year with a $60,000 cap, to help out at home or other expenses. Have the athlete apply and prove they need a certain amount, and take care of the issue directly.

I see the AJ-C has jumped right on this Orson Charles, as if we have to hold him out of the 1st two games vs Boise State and South Carolina, with Mark Richt's "coaching staff" in the balance on these two games.
11-3 I still say we will be. Boise State is no match for our talent.
And, you all said, that Garcia is not Murray.
And, you all said how great we will be at tailback this season, and just who is it who is practicing to get his 1st college football tote ?
No one.
30 fumbles this season, putting the ball on the carpet and up for grabs, and we haven't been any good at all teaching our offensive players how to fall on fumbles, either. Both how to hold the football and how to fall on the football, are not talents or gifts, but learned skills. We don't know how to teach them.
Funny that Texas A and M cannot join The SEC. I love that with their Losing Record this entire Century starting 2000 (no, that is not 11 years ago we are talking about but every game from 2000 through today) against all 6 BCS Conferences, Navy has done better than Texas A and M. TV sets don't turn on in Dallas or Houston to watch such Losing. SEC owns Texas A and M and always will with their 39 percent win percentage all-time in games vs The SEC. And, The SEC (and everyone else) always out-recruits Texas A and M in Texas.
Sort it out for us all AJ-C while once again you have posted not one subliminal phrase daily like this that Georgia tek is on back-to-back NCAA PROBATION repeat offender in FOOTBALL.

Joe for 3. Go back and read what I mentioned and read the rest of the comments. There was NO reason for this article in the first place. Just anything negative to write about UGA, or Tech or or or well basically they do not write about the other programs in the state.

Why do people keep whining about Jan Kemp? She was given a settlement and deposited it in the bank; And she has kept her mouth shut since. So much for the morality of her issue. There are at least 20 Jan Kemps at UGA now and at every single NCAA, NJCAA or NAIA school. Collegiate sports are used to pay for higher faculty salaries, research, overseas studies, buildings/ institutes and more bureaucracy. It can't all come from taxes and donations. Get over it!!! Real Talk!!!

Just tell them the truth Charles.
Sounds like a bunch of nothing, where Charles is concerned.
The NCAA is a scary unpredictable bunch though.
August 17th, 2011
6:23 am
Can't believe that some accuse the AJC of putting out bad press against UGA from this article ..
This is a great story with lots of links to Yahoo's story.
OC was what 17 in Miami with a teammate and brought to this guys house. What's a kid to do, he's with an assistant coach, say I can't get out of the car ?
At that point most kids don't know what's permissible and what's not ..
There is a lot more trouble here for the assistant coaches that were setting this stuff up as well as the athletes that took cash and favors….
Interesting in that in all the conference expansion talk going around Miami old Big East is not being mentioned as going anywhere… Maybe with this happening for the past 10 years, they'll be the scapegoat that gets the death penalty ..
August 17th, 2011
6:33 am
Bull……his stories you may not trust but his documentation and subsequent player interviews and admissions will lather up the NCAA. NCAA will be eating their own young before this is over.
OC seems to be a bit player and for now , not in danger of suspension. That is my take of the article.
You folks lashing out at Chip misunderstand journalism. It is not their job as "beat writer" to write nice things about our team. Their job is to report the news as they see it. They are not paid cheerleaders in any city that has a football team!

Hmmmmm Butch Davis UNC Football coach fired 7/27/11 for academic scandals and players receiving improper benefits. was Head Coach at Miami 1995-2000.
The following players were coached or recruited by Davis in his stint at Miami: Ray Lewis (LB), Yatil Green (WR), Kenard Lang (DE), Kenny Holmes (DE), Duane Starks (CB), Edgerrin James (RB), Clinton Portis (RB), Frank Gore (RB), Bubba Franks (TE), Dan Morgan (LB), Damione Lewis (DT), Santana Moss (WR), Reggie Wayne (WR), Bryant McKinnie (OT), Jeremy Shockey (TE), Phillip Buchanon (CB), Ed Reed (S), Mike Rumph (CB), Andre Johnson (WR), Jerome McDougle (DE), Willis McGahee (RB), William Joseph (DT), Sean Taylor (S), Kellen Winslow II (TE), Jonathan Vilma (LB), D.J. Williams (LB), Vernon Carey (OT), Vince Wilfork (DT), Antrel Rolle (CB), and Kelly Jennings (CB).
Wonder if this was the shoe falling that ended the UNC love affair with Davis.

How can you blame Chip when the story is on yahoo? I for one am eager to hear O C is clear—The story mentions OC there is no reason to blame Chip for writing about it.

Everyone needs to get their heads out of the sand, no matter what team you support. This guy handed out money to players like a rich grandfather does for his grandchildren. If Charles at Georgia and Debose and Pathcan at Florida took money…..they broke the rules and will lose their eligibility. Let's hope not, because this guy is a realy sleaze of a person. But Debose, Patchan, and Charles do not come from well to do families….so there is some grounds for concern with them. Financial records for these Georgia and Florida players will be checked. We can only hope they were smart, if the money was offerered.
This guy also offered Miami players $5,000 each for anyone who hurt Tebow when Florida played Miami. He also offered FSU players the same deal….before Miami played Florida. This guy was bad news, and it seems that some people at Miami were aware of the things this guy was doing and did nothing about it, including the possibility of Aubry Hill knowing, the current WR coach at Florida….although Muschamp has stated that nothing showed up on Hill when they did their background check on him when he was hired.
But this story is not going away…..and the Georgia and Florida players will have to go through the process becasue they went to this guys house on a recruiting visit…..and he had tons of money to give away to recruits….but not saying they took it…..but the NCAA will certainly check to see if they did.
August 17th, 2011
6:48 am
I guess the sports writer at the Gainesville (Florida) Sun is a bad journalist as well….because he wrote the same story concerning Patchan and Debose being mentioned by this sleaze bag. This is national news folks, no matter what team you pull for…and cannot be ignored, like the people associated with the Miami football program did.

I can understand selling your jersey being a violation. But seeing someone's jersey collection, or talking to someone who is a Canes fan? Note to all young athletes: Don't be lured to any guy's closet, he might have a violation in mind.
August 17th, 2011
7:19 am
Chip handled this well. It's already all over other outlets, what was he supposed to do, assume that his "blog" is the only source of news and sheild everybodies tender ego from this?
As far as any issues, I doubt this guy was handing out a sack full of cash to every high school recruit that was introduced to him. Sounds like Charles was as said a bystander in a Miami recruiting voilation.
What on earth was that Miami staff thinking?????
August 17th, 2011
7:24 am
Obviously "I knew we were secretely allowing improper contact with a booster" wouldn't show up in a background check. I hope Hill is also just a bystander. You would hate that a young coach had his career threatened by the actions of his former bosses.
August 17th, 2011

The culture of sleaze and cheating continues unabated in Athens. There's no end to it, is there?

So I got new glasses yesterday and holy SHIT I knew I was blind as dicks but good goddamn my old lenses were four fucking years old, plus that bloody nerve-damage actual blind spot in my left eye, no wonder I was getting excruciating headaches all the damn time
I put the new glasses on and it's seriously a world of difference
Nothing like your best friend coming through with the cute and the funny and the unconditional love to make you feel 736453465 times better about life.
Lesa, you're the actual best. We're sisters in not-Red. And friendship IS magic. We prove it every day.
Same phone number, BUT I lost all my contacts. Stupid SIM card. So if you have my number and you still want me to have yours, text me! Or if I never had your number and you'd like me to have it, throw it in ye olde Ask box!
Plans for the evening:
I love Saturdays.
Looking at pictures of cute cats and almost crying because my cat may not be long for this world. We find out tomorrow.
"I appreciate it, darling."
And I have to do all of it in like half an hour.
Lesa and I have been drinking Pepsi, eating crap food, and marathoning Full House all day. #PartyHard
Also, the Craigy stand-up show last night was FABULOUS. *cough* Someone may or may not have growled and clawed at him from the third row back from the stage. He may or may not have giggled.
…Mama may or may not have been hammered.
What a clusterfuck today was. I have tomorrow off and I am NOT answering the phone. Ugh. So glad to be home right now. Gonna pour me a drink or five and start relaxing into ain't doin' SHIT mode.

Oscars 2013: Winner predictions
Play-at-home ballot: Have you made your picks yet?
Gold Standard writer Glenn Whipp is sweeping through all 24 Oscar categories this week, assessing the races, predicting the winners and helping you prevail in your Oscar pools.
Click through the gallery below to see his latest predictions.
'Amour'( Sony Pictures Classics )
FOREIGN-LANGUAGE FILM: No film nominated for both foreign language feature and best picture has failed to take this category. And none of the other nominees -- all pretty good, by the way -- caught on with the academy to the point where they could break that historical precedent.
ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: Michael Haneke's unflinching drama received five nominations, indicating a broad level of support within the academy. Assuming Haneke won't win director, this would be a choice place for voters to pay their respects, making "Amour" the first foreign-language script to win this category since Pedro Almodovar's "Talk to Her" took the Oscar in 2003.

Jordan CMFT Max Air 12 – Silver – Black – 3M
November 11th, 2010 by Aaron Hope | 4 comments
With two colorways previewed yesterday and set to hit SoleFly shortly, here's a look at the initial colorway of the Jordan CMFT Max Air 12, the colorway that perhaps best exemplifies the overlap between its constituent shoes. These silver CMFT Max 12s echo the Air Max 97′s signature Silver Bullet colorway, with just the right amount of black added in along with a red Jumpman to touch on the seemingly endless supply of bred Jays. And while these were intended as a super-comfy lifestyle shoe, the 3M reflective mudguard and tongue tag mean you could get away with a nighttime run, no problem. Check out some new images after the jump and look for these at select Jordan Brand retailers like Extra Butter.

Word up Vic.
I myself was just postulating on this very concept.
The need for the second coming of the NHL messiah, and why it predominantly afflicts the poor pilgrims of Edmonton. Ecspecially for the younger generation, for whom the existence of the saviour has been reduced to myth told by their elder hosers.
There's a burning desire in the hearts of Oiler fans for the resurrection of the next prolific scoring superstar. My best guess is that it's feelings by the feelings of inadequacy created when the Jews stole the original and buried him underneath the Hollywood hills.
- Lowetide said...
I wonder if Mel Gibson knows?
- mudcrutch79 said...
In honour of this thread, Rob Schremp's nickname should be changed to "Sugartits."
- said...
Any mention of any god and hockey simply boils down to two letters:
- Andy Grabia said...
I believe I gave Schremp the title, as well as the graphic, and I'm sticking with it. I don't even know why Nidermayer is a consideration. Beard and long hair do not a sports Jesus make. See Larry Bird for confirmation.
- Andy Grabia said...
Niedermayer. I better correct that before Rivers Quomo nails me on it.
- mudcrutch79 said...
It's a TERRIBLE nickname. What claim Rob Schremp has to the hockey jesus nick over, Pisani is impossible to fathom.
It's off the minors for Sugartits.
- Andy Grabia said...
Pisani is St. Fernando, or San Fernado, the Patrom Saint of Lost Hockey Causes. And what do you know about good nicknames, Mudcrutch?
- RiversQ said...
I like Grabia's St. Fernando, but I think Niedermayer gets the Hockey Jesus tag over Schremp. I haven't decided on one for young Robbie... Bon-Schremp-ore just doesn't roll off the tongue.
- RiversQ said...
Oh Grabia, don't be so sensitive. If you had said "I don't even know why RWer Scott Nidermayer (sic) is a consideration." and then pencilled him in just behind Selanne on the Ducks' depth chart then it would have been your modus operandi.
BTW, the last time my place here in Atlanta was broken into I lost two pairs of jeans, a bath towel and a box of pennies. Sharp guys. They obviously needed it more than I did.
- Vic Ferrari said...
Robimus Prime was funny, but Sugartits is gold! :D
I'm voting for Scott Niedermayer, just his demeanour when he talked to the press in his flowing white robe during the playoffs ... gotta be him. I googled "Hockey Jesus" and got tonnes of hits, no clear choices though. Amongst others the nick has been assigned to Brodeur, Thornton, Kessel, even Oiler fandom's own dawgbone by a pissed off guy calling himself Lawn Demon (Oiler fans online are generally nuts, present company included).
slipper: Funny shit. And I'll mark you down as a vote for Gretzky.
- Earl Sleek said...
I don't even think Scotty Niedermayer is the best "Hockey Jesus" candidate on Anaheim.
Teemu Selanne is the one with the miraculous career resurrection and the countless ketchup parables.
- said...
I don't get how Schremp is even in the running for a title like hockey jesus.
- joninabox said...
Let's all start applying the title to young Ty Gretzky. Then when he inevitably fails to live up to expectations and crumples under the pressure, we can all take the credit for starting it off, all those years ago, or now. Yeah.
- Lowetide said...
What nickname would you prefer?
- Vic Ferrari said...
joninabox said...
Let's all start applying the title to young Ty Gretzky.
Oh man, that's just so cruel. Funny though.
- said...
Wait, I thought Rob Niedermayer's nick was "sugartits". This is getting confusing.
And while I don't see why there can't be two or more Hockey Jesi, its pretty obvious that the good Niedermayer is presenting himself as a/the true Hockey Jesus, while the Schremp isn't.

I like sugertits LT...

The "longitudinal" spinning coaster by S&S is a new type of family coaster designed to heighten the coaster experience. Free Fly utilizes a unique air bag suspension to create an extremely different and smooth experience that accentuates air time and cushions unwanted vibrations. While the suspension system is new to the amusement industry, it relies on existing technology for simplicity and ease of maintenance.
The Free Fly coaster was awarded the IAAPA international association's 2009 "Best New Major Amusement Ride of the Year." The coaster is intended for the existing and thriving spinning coaster market with a coaster that spins about its longitudinal axis instead of its vertical axis. This rotation allows riders to continually see where they are traveling, providing excitement without vertigo. The weighted seats allow for rolling of the vehicle while the seats remain upright, which in turn allows for a simple class 3 restraint (a seat belt) for quick loading and unloading. Each two-sided Gondola has four passengers per side for a total of eight passengers per gondola.
Free Fly presents many theming opportunities, including animals, jets/space craft, and a "Robinson Crusoe" type raft.
Ride Capacity: 720 pph Dispatch Time: 40 seconds Standard Track Length: 1312' (400 M) Overall Height: 57' (17.37 M) Vehicles: (4) Eight passenger vehicles Restraints: ASTM Class 3 Restraints, a seat belt similar to a log flume Lift: Standard 30 degree chain with ARB Brakes: Friction and magnetic Station Info: Boosters in station load area; loading on both sides of track Maintenance: Dual trolley transfer track with storage track
Seat/Restraint Design Forces
Vertical Acceleration: +2.5 / +0.2 G Lateral Acceleration: +/- 0.5 G Longitudinal Acceleration (Fatigue): +/- 1.0 G Longitudinal Acceleration (Max): +/- 1.2 G

When cold beer isn't enough, now it's frozen
Japan's Kirin Brewery has launched its new beverage in LA. It says the slushie-topped brew stays frosty for 30 minutes.
Just in time for summer's last hurrah, or maybe the season's final set of heat waves, comes an answer to many a beer drinker's prayer: a really cold, frosty brew.
And when we say cold, we mean frozen. Japan's Kirin Brewery, a part of Kirin Holdings (KNBWF), has unleashed upon the world its latest invention, Kirin Ichiban Frozen Beer. The draft beer is served via what looks like a converted frozen margarita or slushie machine, and according to a company press release is "topped with a 23°F frozen beer foam that keeps the beer chilled for 30 minutes."The frozen beer is currently available at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, as well as some "select restaurants and bars" elsewhere in the city. Kirin officials said they brought the beverage across the Pacific after it became a big hit in Japan.
"After test-launches in Honolulu and Orlando and overwhelmingly positive feedback, Kirin Ichiban Frozen Beer is ready for a larger presence in the U.S.," Randy Higa, president of Kirin Brewery of America, burbled in the press release. "We couldn't think of a better place for this beer to make its California debut than sunny Los Angeles."
Along with La-La Land, Kirin also has plans to launch its frozen beer at locations in Honolulu, New York and at the Japan Pavilion of Walt Disney (DIS) World's Epcot theme park in Orlando, Fla.
But how does it taste? According to a review in the FoodBeast blog, frozen beer "doesn't taste like much of anything really," although the frozen-yogurt-consistency of the foam did indeed keep the reviewer's beer chilled for a half hour, or a few innings, on a hot day at Dodger Stadium. And FoodBeast noted the 16-ounce beer slushies retailed "at the inflated you're-stuck-at-a-sports-game price of $10, but may vary at other locations."
The Zagat restaurant rating guide also weighed in on the new Kirin product. "The foam is a lot stiffer than you'd expect," wrote reviewer Lesley Balla, "and the best way to get around it, we found, was to poke a hole in it, even if we still got foam on our nose."
So, in addition to chemically induced brain freeze, I can also get temperature induced brain freeze? Cool, literally, lol.
Now, turn away if you don't like rants...
What I have a serious problem with is the 'auto-play-advertisement' that I can't pause or stop - extreme annoyance. ANY auto-play crap that pops up just because I may show interest in reading an article is just plain intrusive. There ought to be some sort of 'do not call' sort of 'do not play your stupid screaming advertisement' to opt into...we put up with the entire right side of our screens littered with crud that we avoid clicking like the plague - you even try to get my attention by making the ads move in some irritating manner, such that I can't ignore it. One other thing - these f*ing float window surveys that can't possibly work other than to artfully obscure one's selected view are about as annoying as the GEICO screaming pig commercial..
Anyone who continued to read, thank you for letting me rant - I do apologize for the length and tone.

With the UFC's key business and home base being in Las Vegas, it's a no brainer that fight fans love to bet on their faves. With all the talk back and forth about who will win at UFC 94, at this point, Georges St. Pierre is clearly the odds on favorite heading into his mega-fight with B.J. Penn.
A pivotal light heavyweight bout between Top 10 fighters Lyoto Machida and Thiago Silva is also featured at UFC 94. Thus far, Machida is running away with this one as far as betters are concerned.
We've obviously seen in the past that who is being bet on doesn't necessarily equate into a win, so it will be interesting to see if the betters are right come Saturday night.

After listening to complaints and concerns from parents and other 4-H members about the 159th Auglaize County Fair for much of ThursdayÔÇÖs meeting, the tone of the Junior Fair post-fair evaluation meeting changed at the end.
Parents praised Junior Fair Board members for the work they do in making the Junior Fair events and the entire fair a success.
ÔÇťI know (senior) fair board members from all the neighboring counties ÔÇö Allen, Hardin, Mercer, Shelby ÔÇö and they are all amazed at the amount of work you do,ÔÇŁ Jack McBride said. ÔÇťIn other counties, the senior fair board or club supervisors do most of the work, but here you are doing all this on your own.ÔÇŁ
McBride agreed with others that Junior Fair Board members need to use the event as a learning experience and that should include raising funds for the events, but he and other parents felt the Auglaize County Agricultural Society, or senior Fair Board, should help with administrative costs.
Junior Fair Board Secretary Sara Wilker and Junior Fair Board Assistant Secretary Kayla Schneider said they understand the reason for parents and 4-H members coming forward with concerns regarding the cleanliness of the pens and aisleways and making sure the animals have feed and water for the rest of the week after the animal has been shown.
ÔÇťIt is important to realize they are just trying to help us improve and not criticize,ÔÇŁ Wilker said. ÔÇťThey are just trying to make it run better and run smoother for us and those people showing their animals and projects.ÔÇŁ
ÔÇťI understand most of it because every year on Fair Board is a growing process,ÔÇŁ Schneider said. ÔÇťWe need to be aware of things so we can make changes for the better.ÔÇŁ
Schneider and Wilker said the Junior Fair Board members are thankful in being given the opportunity to organize and to be responsible for the events unlike other Junior Fair boards.
ÔÇťBy being responsible for the events, we have learned a lot about hard work and determination,ÔÇŁ Schneider told the Wapakoneta Daily News. ÔÇťWe learn those qualities with our projects, but as a member of the Junior Fair Board we learn that through all the work that we did in just showing our animals ÔÇö but there is more behind that fair than that.
ÔÇťWhen we were little and we came to the fair you would see all the hog pens were set up and everything was ready for you and your animals,ÔÇŁ Wilker said. ÔÇťBeing older and on the board, you can definitely appreciate all the work done by previous Junior Fair boards and it definitely shows how much work there is to be done prior to the fair, not just during the fair, by the Junior Fair Board.ÔÇŁ
Junior Fair Board members are required to put in 72 hours of work throughout the year, but most, if not all, far surpass that number often eclipsing the 100-hour mark.
Schneider and Wilker said they and the other Junior Fair Board members also realize the benefits of being involved in the fair and being part of the group responsible for the events while still in school and working.
ÔÇťI have learned balance, balancing all the work with the Junior Fair Board with everything else we have going on such as work, sports, school and going to college,ÔÇŁ Wilker said. ÔÇťYou also learn the value of hard work, working with other people. There are people who may not be as cooperative but you learn to get along and make the best of it.ÔÇŁ
Schneider said the work at the fair instills confidence through decision making.
ÔÇťSometimes decisions have to be made right away and we have to learn how to deal with things right away and just make the best of everything,ÔÇŁ Schneider said.
The work during the week of the fair and throughout the year was not lost on the parents who applauded the Junior Fair Board members for their work after being recognized by The Ohio State University 4-H Extension Agent Beth Miller who passed out certificates.
ÔÇťYou need to be proud because you do more than others at other fairs around here,ÔÇŁ McBride said.
ÔÇťThere is nobody who is going to dispute that,ÔÇŁ Senior Fair Board President Ed Doenges said during the meeting, ÔÇťwe wouldnÔÇÖt have the type of fair we have without the Junior Fair Board.ÔÇŁ
