Qingdao Jonoon moved to the top of the table after Shandong Luneng suffered a surprise defeat at lowly Shanghai Shenhua on Saturday.
Qingdao overcame cellar-dwellers Tianjin Teda 2-1 courtesy of second-half goals from Bruno Meneghel and Zheng Long.
Vladimir Jovancic pulled a goal back for the hosts, converting a penalty with three minutes remaining but it proved nothing more than a consolation.
Qingdao are unbeaten this season, winning four of their opening five games and sit one point clear at the summit following Shandong's 2-1 loss to Shenhua.
Shandong opened the scoring in the 19th minute courtesy of Marius Niculae but a second-half double from Syrian striker Firas Al Khatib handed the home side maximum points, which elevated them out of the relegation zone and into 11th position.
In other results on Saturday, Changchun Yatai and Wuhan Zall shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw, while Guangzhou R&F and Shanghai SIPG played out a scoreless stalemate.

The FBI honors our law enforcement colleagues as we observe National Police Week.
National Police Week 201105/13/2011
Mollie Halpern: The FBI honors our law enforcement colleagues as we observe National Police Week, May 15 through the 21. Nearly 19,000 officers have been killed in the line of duty in the U.S. since 1791.
Jeff Blanton: It is truly is a fraternity, it's a brotherhood in law enforcement.
Mollie Halpern: I'm Mollie Halpern of the Bureau and this is "FBI, This Week." The FBI stands united with law enforcement as we work together to protect America. Supervisory Special Agent Jeff Blanton of the FBI's Office of Law Enforcement Coordination.
Blanton: The Director has made it a priority to ensure that the FBI continues to establish strong working relationships with all of our partners—federal, state, local, and tribal.
Halpern: The Bureau also pauses to remember the 55 special agents who have been killed in the line of duty since the Bureau was formed. They are men and women who lived out the meaning of fidelity, bravery, and integrity. The sacrifices of these fallen heroes serve as a reminder that freedom and safety comes at a great cost.

My Wish List for The Highlands
December 27, 2007 - Phyllis Sigal
The list of stores and restaurants at The Highlands is growing by leaps and bounds, and being the shopper that I am, I love it! I especially love the stores out there that we've had access to only by traveling to Washington or Pittsburgh, such as Bed, Bath & Beyond, Kohl's, Target, Michael's, to name a few.
I really enjoyed my visit to Books-A-Million, having just gone there for the first time for some holiday shopping in late December. I'll be going there a lot, I know. Having heard there's a Sephora — a great make-up store — coming to the J.C. Penney location, I'll be stopping out there for that.
And, I'm looking forward to trying out Cheddar's. And, I love Coldstone Creamery, but of course, should avoid the calories there! But, there are so many more stores that I wish would come to The Highlands. How about a Gap — not an outlet, but the real thing. It would be fun to have a Banana Republic — not that I can afford things there unless they're on sale, but it's fun to look. Chico's, The Limited, New York & Co., Express ... all these stores, for which I get coupons in the mail, would be great additions.
In the food department, a Trader Joe's would be a wonderful asset to The Highlands. If you've never been to one, there is one in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, and one at the Easton shopping complex in Columbus. Trader Joe's is a specialty grocery store without specialty store prices. In fact, the prices are better than many regular grocery stores. In the Columbus store, there are are great buys on wine. (Pennsylvania's liquor laws are just too weird to allow wine sales at grocery stores.) Charles Shaw wines are $3 a bottle! The wine, which comes in many varieties — Chardonnay, Cabernet, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and more — has gotten the nickname "Two-Buck Chuck," because it sells for that in California. We call it "Three-Buck Chuck" because that's what we pay. I know lots of people who make the pilgrimage to Columbus or elsewhere for their great specialty items and great prices.
Have you ever eaten at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers & Spirits? I think it would be a great fit for The Highlands. The closest one is in Washington, Pa. The burgers are tasty and interesting, and done exactly as requested. There are chicken burgers, classic burgers and lots of "adventuresome burgers," such as the Whisky River BBQ Burger, the Honey Mustard Chicken Burger, the Parmigiano Chicken Burger, the Monster Burger, the Banzai Burger, the Bleu Ribbon Burger, the Guacamole Bacon Burger, the Sauteed 'Shroom Burger, the Pot Roast Burger, the Garden Burger, the Crispy Fish Burger and the Grilled Salmon Burger ... and MORE! And, you can pretty much mix and match, too. I wanted the Bleu Ribbon Burger and the 'Shroom Burger, so I just got some 'shrooms on my bleu. So good! There are also soups, wraps and salads, as well as a good selection of starters.
But one feature that I loved/hated was the bottomless fries! Just what you need, right? But, boy were they good. We got the parmesan garlic fries. Finish your portion, and they'll bring you more!
So you get the picture Red Robin is pretty, darned good! And I want one here!
Anyone out there have a wish list of their own? How about sharing!

Srikanth Kandula, Dina Katabi, Bruce Davie, and Anna Charny
August 2005
Current intra-domain Traffic Engineering (TE) relies on it offline methods, which use long term average traffic demands. It cannot react to realtime traffic changes caused by BGP reroutes, diurnal traffic variations, attacks, or flash crowds. Further, current TE deals with network failures by pre-computing alternative routings for a limited set of failures. It may fail to prevent congestion when unanticipated or combination failures occur, even though the network has enough capacity to handle the failure.
This paper presents TeXCP, an emphonline distributed TE protocol that balances load in realtime, responding to actual traffic demands and failures. TeXCP uses multiple paths to deliver demands from an ingress to an egress router, adaptively moving traffic from over-utilized to under-utilized paths. These adaptations are carefully designed such that, though done independently by each edge router based on local information, they balance load in the whole network without oscillations. We model TeXCP, prove the stability of the model, and show that it is easy to implement. Our extensive simulations show that, for the same traffic demands, a network using TeXCP supports the same utilization and failure resilience as a network that uses traditional offline TE, but with half or third the capacity.

The Daily Feast1
Do you know a family who seems to have the cooking gene? They're known for their food and people love to get invitations to their meals. Our friends are just such a family of cooks: Esther Rose Graber, the matriarch, with her 5 daughters and 1 daughter-in-law. They've been cooking together and collecting recipes for years until their binders were jammed and falling apart.
Their collection is a new cookbook, The Daily Feast: Everyday Meals We Love to Share. Most of the women are professional artists; none of them are trained chefs. However, we are marking lots of their recipes to make: Mexican Posole Stew, Shrimp and Kiwi Salad, Turkish Ottoman Rice Casserole. As a family, the Grabers have both lived and traveled outside the U.S., so they bring intriguing flavors and ideas into their recipes.
Furthermore, our friends have arranged their recipes into menus so that we can focus on recreating a feast, not menu planning. Guess what goes with that Shrimp and Kiwi Salad we have our eye on? Annie's Carrot Soup, Whole Wheat Bread, and Bob's Hot Fudge Sauce over Vanilla Ice Cream. Lovely!
You can read more about the Graber women in an article in their local paper and also by Food & Wine.

NEW YORK CITY – November 14, 2006 - Starting this week, women and men aged 18 and older can get Plan
B at New York City pharmacies without a prescription. Barr Laboratories
announced last week they had begun shipping Plan B to pharmacies across the
nation following the FDA's August 2006
decision to approve over-the-counter access to Plan B for women 18 and older.
Cost and age-restrictions on Plan B could still pose barriers to some women. The expected cost of Plan B is $40 - $70 and FDA rules still require women 17 and under to have a prescription. To ensure wide access to Plan B, the Health Department will continue to offer free Plan B at its clinics in the five boroughs to all women, including those under the age of 18. Some other health centers also offer Plan B to women and teens at low cost. All New Yorkers can find out where to get Plan B by calling 3-1-1.
"We want all New Yorkers to know that Plan B is now available without a prescription if you are 18 or older," said Deborah Kaplan, Assistant Commissioner of the Bureau of Maternal, Infant, and Reproductive Health. "Plan B is a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. Women and teens who cannot afford to buy Plan B, or who are too young to buy it at the pharmacy, can get it free or at low cost by calling 3-1-1 or visiting a Health Department clinic."
Health Department staff will be visiting hundreds of pharmacies throughout the city in December to provide educational materials and information on how women of all ages can get Plan B.
The Department will also continue to provide Plan B education and outreach to teens and older women in partnership with four community organizations. This campaign is part of the Mayor's Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Initiative, launched in April 2005 to increase access to emergency contraception and to link women to ongoing sexual and reproductive health services.
For more information on Plan B or ongoing birth control, call 3-1-1 or visit nyc.gov/health.

MEXICO CITY--Mexican inflation picked up pace in June as higher energy and services costs pushed up overall consumer prices.
The Consumer Price Index rose 0.17% in June, pushing the annual rate up to 3.75% from 3.51% at the end of May, the National Statistics Institute said Wednesday. The increase was slightly below the median estimate of 0.19% in a Wall Street Journal poll of 11 economists.
Higher air fares and gasoline prices, and higher restaurant prices contributed to the increase, while prices for new cars and some fresh produce were lower.
Core inflation, which excludes energy and fresh fruits and vegetables, rose 0.21% last month, pushing the annual rate up to 3.09% from 3.0% at the end of May.
The Bank of Mexico took advantage of a recent dip in inflation when it cut interest rates in June by half a percentage point to a record-low 3%, citing disappointing economic growth in the first part of the year. The central bank is widely expected to leave the overnight rate unchanged in its policy decision on Friday.
The central bank expects the annual inflation rate to end the year within its 2%-4% target range, and to approach 3% by early 2015.

Church Rock Man Pleads Guilty to Second-Degree Murder Charge Involving Death of a Navajo Man
|U.S. Attorney's Office February 05, 2013
ALBUQUERQUE—Danny Dan Don Brown, 25, a member of the Navajo Nation who resides in Church Rock, New Mexico pled guilty this morning to a second-degree murder charge under a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Brown and co-defendant, Melvyn Lee Morgan, 29, a member of the Navajo Nation who resides in Gallup, New Mexico, were charged in a criminal complaint on December 4, 2011, for the December 3, 2011 murder of Robert L. Smith, also a member of the Navajo Nation. According to the complaint, the murder occurred in Church Rock, which is within the Navajo Indian Reservation. Brown and Morgan were arrested on December 27, 2011, and have been in federal custody since that time. The two were indicted on January 24, 2012, and charged with second-degree murder.
According to court records, late on the night of December 3, 2011, Brown, Morgan, and the victim had a fight after drinking alcohol. During the fight, Brown and Morgan repeatedly kicked and punched the victim, who died as a result of injuries he sustained.
Under the terms of his plea agreement, Brown faces a sentence of not less than 12 years and not more than 15 years in prison. Brown remains in custody pending his sentencing hearing, which has yet to be scheduled.
Morgan has entered a not guilty plea to the indictment. The charges in the indictment as to Morgan are only accusations, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
The case was investigated by the Gallup Resident Agency of the FBI with assistance from the Crownpoint Division of the Navajo Nation Department of Public Safety and the McKinley County Sheriff's Office, and it is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul H. Spiers.

This week's picks column is dedicated to Purdue University President-elect Mitch Daniels, who has quite a challenge ahead of him attempting to, among other things, make the school's football program relevant again.
Been to Ross-Ade Stadium lately? The once-raucous structure that housed Brees-to-Morales only 12 years ago has become a library with goal posts. So high is the indifference level that I'll be stunned if 45,000 make it to West Lafayette for the Old Oaken Bucket battle against Indiana on Nov. 24.
Talk to me in a week. I might have lowered it to 40,000. And that's in a stadium that accommodates 62,500 football fans.
Good luck, Mitch. Indiana under Kevin Wilson is trending upward, which is great. Do what's necessary to aim Purdue's football fortunes in the same direction.
Notre Dame 34,
Wake Forest 14
The Irish, who are a much
better product this time around with more to play for, won by a touchdown last season on Wake's home turf. Let me see ... (doing the math in my head) ... rout.
Purdue 31, Illinois 20
{span}Welcome, fans, to the Attrition Bowl. Just come on in, admission is free. Sit at the 50 if you like. Boilermakers score a second straight road win by beating a horrific Illini squad{/span}.
Penn State 20, Indiana 14
The Hoosiers have never won in State College or, for that matter, ever beaten Penn State in football. The Nittany Lions play every game as if it's their bowl game (which it is). IU will make its history next October when Penn State comes to Bloomington.
Michigan 27, Iowa 17
Wolverines fans say goodbye to their seniors at the Big House. Too much emotion for the Hawkeyes to overcome.
Northwestern 24, Michigan State 23
Normally I take the Wildcats to lose in enemy territory, but MSU isn't scaring anybody this season. Wildcats post a "W" in East Lansing.
Nebraska 40, Minnesota 21
A Golden Gophers football team hasn't won in Lincoln since 1960. That was 10 United States presidents and six expansions to Nebraska's Memorial Stadium ago. History is not on Minnesota's side.
Ohio State 28, Wisconsin 24
Arguably the two best teams in the Big Ten duke it out with lower stakes with the Buckeyes ineligible for postseason play. It's the battle of the league's most obnoxious fan bases, and OSU behind QB and soon-to-be conference MVP Braxton Miller gets it done on the road.
New England 35, Indianapolis 27
This (ouch!) really ... (ow!) ... hurts, but with the game in Foxborough I have to favor coach Dullachick and the Patriots. Stay tuned for riveting postgame commentary from the New England coach regarding Colts rookie quarterback Andrew Luck ("He's pretty good") and receiver Reggie Wayne ("He's having a good season"). Pats' defense is vulnerable, but at this time it's more likely Tom Brady has the bigger outing.
Dallas 30, Cleveland 17
Now this is more the Cowboys' speed. Team owner Jerry Jones might be on the horn as we speak trying to lobby to play Cleveland and Cincinnati eight times apiece each regular season. Might be the only way to get Dallas into the playoffs.
Cincinnati 23, Kansas City 21
Bengals beat the Chiefs because, well, everyone beats the Chiefs.
Last week's record: 6-1

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. ?? The University of Alabama baseball team used a two-out rally in the fourth inning to score five consecutive runs en route to a 10-1 season opening win over Cal Poly Friday night at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
Sophomore second baseman Brandon May led the Tide's 14-hit attack with a career-high four hits, including his first career home run in the eighth inning, and four RBI.
Junior right fielder Kent Matthes had two hits, including a three-run home run that ignited the UA offense in the fourth inning. Freshman left fielder Ross Wilson went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and one RBI in his collegiate debut.
May started the fourth-inning rally with a two-out single to right field and he capped the night with his first collegiate home run in the eighth inning.
"It was great," May said. "The intensity was high throughout the whole game. We were having fun. The home run was a great feeling. I am going to try and enjoy it."
Matthes slammed a three-run home run off the top of the center field wall to put the Tide on the board in a five-run, fourth inning. Junior shortstop Jeff Texada capped the inning with a two-run single to right field as UA took a 5-1 lead.
May and senior first baseman Matt Bentley started the two-out rally with back-to-back singles off Cal Poly starter Eric Massingham. Matthes then slammed a three-run home run to dead center to give the Tide a 3-1 lead. Junior DH Ryan Rhoden was hit by a pitch following Matthes' home run and sophomore third baseman Jake Smith doubled into the left field corner. Texada then singled to right to extend the lead to 5-1.
The five-run outburst was more than enough for UA senior left-hander Will Stroup (1-0), who earned the win with five innings on the mound. He allowed one run on two hits, with two walks and five strikeouts.
Junior right-hander Austin Hyatt capped a strong night on the mound with four scoreless innings in relief of Stroup. Hyatt did not allow a hit and struck out three batters.
Massingham (0-1) allowed six runs and seven his in 4 1/3 innings for the Mustangs and took the loss.
The Crimson Tide added another run in the sixth when freshman left fielder Ross Wilson singled and later scored on May's RBI double to left-center field to make it 6-1.
Alabama continued its two-out theme with two more runs in the sixth inning off left-hander Grant Theophilus. Wilson plated one run with a two-out infield single and May drove in another run with a base hit to center.
May capped the scoring with a two-run home run in the eighth inning off reliever Mark DeVincenzi. Cal Poly (0-1) took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning when Kyle Smith doubled to right center, took third on a wild pitch and scored when Logan Schafer reached on an error by UA second baseman Brandon May.
The teams will conclude this three-game series with a double header on Saturday, February 23 at 2 p.m. (CST).
GAME NOTES:*This was the first-ever meeting between Alabama and Cal Poly. The Mustangs also played their first-ever game against an SEC team.
*Assistant coach B.J. Green is currently on administrative leave and awaiting a bone marrow transplant at UAB Hospital in Birmingham. The Crimson Tide baseball team hung Green's jersey (No. 12) in the dugout prior to Friday's season opener and many players and coaches have "BJ" written on the outside of the game caps.
*The Alabama baseball team has switched dugouts for the 2008 season and will now occupy the third base dugout.

Writer-director Quentin Tarantino has been slowly putting together a solid cast for his upcoming "Southern" Django Unchained, which follows Jamie Foxx as a freed slave determined to rescue his wife from a sadistic slave owner (Leonardo DiCaprio). Tarantino recently added his Deathproof actor Kurt Russell to the cast as evil slave trainer Ace Woody, replacing Kevin Costner who recently dropped out, as well as Kill Bill, Vol. 2's Laura Cayouette as DiCaprio's widowed sister.
Deadline reports that the latest addition to the cast is Don Johnson, who will play a wealthy plantation owner named Spencer Bennett. Casting a veteran actor who hasn't been in many recent high-profile projects is typical of Tarantino, who rejuvenated the careers of actors like John Travolta (Pulp Fiction) and Robert Forster (Jackie Brown). Johnson recently appeared as the villainous Von Stillman in last year's Machete, directed by Tarantino's friend and frequent collaborator Robert Rodriguez.
Johnson joins a cast filled with Tarantino alumni, including Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz. Django is set to start shooting in November, and has been given a release date of December 25, 2012.
Speaking of Tarantino alums, Inglourious Basterds' Michael Fassbender is adding another indie project to his slate, after working on high-profile movies like X-Men: First Class and the upcoming Prometheus.
Variety reports that Fassbender will reunite with his Shame director Steve McQueen for his next project, Twelve Years a Slave. The pair first worked together on the McQueen's 2008 debut Hunger, and have recently been taking Shame around to various festivals.
Also starring Chiwetel Ejiofor (2012), Twelve Years a Slave tells the true story of Solomon Northup, the son of a slave who was kidnapped in 1841 and rescued from a cotton plantation in Louisiana in 1853.
McQueen co-wrote the script with John Ridley (Red Tails) and is set to start directing the production early next year.
Deadline reports that Carrey in in negotiations to join Burt Wonderstone. Carrel is the title character, a traditional magician who breaks with his longtime partner and finds that he is upstaged by a hip, street-magician rival — likely the role Carrey will play.
Carell has been attached to the comedy for a while, with writer-director Jason Reitman (Up In the Air) doing a rewrite of the script initially penned by Horrible Bosses screenwriters Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley. TV director Charles McDougall, who worked with Carell on The Office, was hired to direct in February.
Burt Wonderstone is likely to start production this fall. Carrey and Carell last worked together on 2003's Bruce Almighty, right before Carell was cast in The Office.

This announcement is long overdue.
Carter has named him "Tootsie" and says sweet thing like "how's my little Tootsie pie?" to him throughout the day. I have to be careful when wearing a dress in public, as she has been known to lift it up at any moment to communicate with Tootsie through my belly button. Addie has big plans for our new addition, and I have a feeling he will have no problem keeping up with her since he is constantly moving.
How is life going to work with three children ages four and under? I have not clue, but will soon find out.

Court Tosses Fifth Third Workers' Fees Claim Filed Shortly After Limitations Period Expired
October 6, 2009
Reproduced with permission from Pension & Benefits Daily, 191 PBD (Oct. 6, 2009). Copyright 2009 by The Bureau of National Affairs, Inc. (800-372-1033) http://www.bna.com/
Fifth Third Bancorp employees are time-barred from pursuing their claim that the company and its top officials breached their fiduciary duties by "loading" the company's tax code Section 401(k) plan with several Fifth Third mutual funds that charged excessive and unreasonable fees, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio held Sept. 30 (Shirk v. Fifth Third Bancorp, S.D. Ohio, No. 05-cv-049, 9/30/09).
Granting Fifth Third's motion to dismiss, Magistrate Judge Timothy S. Black found that the employees had filed their excessive fees-related claim just two weeks after the three-year statute of limitations had expired.
The court found that the employees had the requisite knowledge that triggered the running of the statute of limitations when Fifth Third in March 2004 revamped its Section 401(k) plan and added new Fifth Third mutual funds to the plan's investment offerings. When Fifth Third made these changes, it provided employees with plan documents setting out the new investment options and the statute of limitations began to run no later than the day the employees were provided with the documents, the court found.
"[B]ecause Plaintiffs' actual knowledge runs from the date the documents were provided, or made available, to Plan Participants disclosing the facts underlying the alleged breach of fiduciary duty, Plaintiffs cannot avoid the bar of [the Employee Retirement Income Security Act's] three year statute of limitations by merely claiming that they did not read the documents that form the basis for their claims," the court said.
Originates as Stock Drop Case
The lawsuit, as originally filed in 2005, was an employer "stock drop" case. The employees alleged in their original complaint that Fifth Third and its top executives breached their fiduciary duties by allowing employees to invest retirement plan money in Fifth Third stock during a period when the company was allegedly concealing its financial problems.
In April 2007, the district court denied the Fifth Third defendants' motion to dismiss the employer stock claims (70 PBD, 4/12/07; 34 BPR 920, 4/17/07; 40 EBC 2560). Later, however, the district court granted the motion to dismiss, ruling that the Fifth Third defendants did not breach their fiduciary duties by retaining Fifth Third stock as an investment option (39 PBD, 3/3/09; 36 BPR 568, 3/10/09; 46 EBC 2502).
Just prior to the district court's April 2007 decision denying the defendants' motion to dismiss, the employees on March 21, 2007, filed an amended complaint adding three new fiduciary breach claims. Specifically, the employees alleged that Fifth Third and the other defendants breached their ERISA fiduciary duties by: (1) imposing excessive fees and expenses on plan participants, (2) loading the plan with several Fifth Third mutual funds that charged excessive and unreasonable fees to the plan and its participants, and (3) engaging in undisclosed self-dealing by offering Fifth Third mutual funds in the plan in order to generate seed money that facilitated the marketing of Fifth Third's own proprietary funds.
In September 2008, the district court denied Fifth Third's motion to dismiss the amended complaint. In that decision, the court said the employees had sufficiently alleged that the plan fees and expenses information was material and should have been disclosed to the employees (192 PBD, 10/3/08; 35 BPR 2296, 10/7/08; 44 EBC 2936).
Fees-Related Claims Are Time-Barred
In its most recent decision, the court granted Fifth Third's motion to dismiss all of the fees-related claims raised in the amended complaint. The court found that these claims were all time-barred by ERISA Section 413's three-year statute of limitations for fiduciary breach claims. The court said the record contained undisputable evidence showing that the employees first acquired "actual knowledge" of the alleged fiduciary breach at some point in time more than three years prior to when they filed their second amended complaint on March 21, 2007.
According to the court, the employees had actual knowledge of the alleged fiduciary breach when they received plan documents explaining that the Section 401(k) plan would include new Fifth Third mutual funds. These documents were given to employees in early March 2004, the court said.
The court rejected the employees' contention that the breach that triggered the running of the statute of limitations did not occur until March 22, 2004, when Fifth Third actually moved the money in the Section 401(k) plan to the new mutual funds. The court agreed with the defendants that the statute of limitations began to run before the plan money was actually moved to the allegedly high-cost mutual funds.
The court thus found that by no later than March 5, 2004, the employees had actual knowledge of the conduct giving rise to the alleged ERISA violations. The employees' amended complaint was not filed until March 21, 2007, which was two weeks past the March 5, 2007, expiration of the three-year statute of limitations, the court found.

When he spun the Australians-a star-studded one at that-into a tizzy with his spin, flight and guile back in 2008, Amit Mishra was hailed as a definitive answer to a perturbing query facing Indian cricket. What or who after Anil Kumble? Some experts even went on to tout him as the saviour of classical leg-spin. The portly Mishra after all possessed loop, drift, a ripping leg-break and of course a tantalizing googly, all qualities that have historically gone into the making of a quality leg-spinner. His approach of focusing on his inherent strengths and trying to avoid too many variations also propped him up as a throwback to the golden era of spin.
Five years on though, Mishra has somehow failed to realize the destiny that many had prophesized for him after that dominating performance against Ricky Ponting & Co. While hes been in and out of the Test team, battling for the second spinners slot with Pragyan Ojha and Piyush Chawla, his ODI appearances have remained even more scattered. Going into Sunday, Mishras 17 ODIs had been strewn over 10 years. In fact, it was only the third occasion in his career that the 30-year-old had been given three ODIs on the trot.
Mishras day out
Despite having lived life on the fringes for over a decade, Mishra has always laid claim to being a genuine wicket-taker across all formats like any leg-spinner worth his salt.
And at the Harare Sports Club, he lived up to his reputation, chipping away at the Zimbabwean batting line-up and finishing with figures of 4/47 as India cruised to an insurmountable 3-0 lead in the five-match series. Mishras exploits, aided by impressive support from the likes of Mohammad Shami and Ravindra Jadeja, was instrumental in the visitors commanding show with the ball with Zimbabwe being bowled out for 183. Skipper Virat Kohli then led the way for the umpteenth time in a run-chase, remaining unbeaten on 68, after Shikhar Dhawan had provided a typically aggressive start, the eventual finish arriving with almost 15 overs to spare.
The first half of the day though belonged to Mishra. Prior to the Zimbabwean series, he had spent two tournaments warming the bench, battling the chilly English climes followed by the heat and humidity of the Caribbean. With R Ashwin rested, it was inevitable that Mishra would finally get a go. As inevitable as the fact that he

25th Anniversary of the Challenger Accident January 24, 2011Posted by Lofty Ambitions in Information, Space Exploration.
Tags: Space Shuttle
This coming Friday marks the 25th anniversary of the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger shortly after launch. We were college students on January 28, 1986.
To commemorate the Challenger accident, Chapman University is hosting a symposium today (Monday, January 24) at 2-5pm in Sandhu Conference Center. "Truth, Lies, and O-rings: Lessons from Challenger" features Lofty Ambitions guest bloggers Richard C. Cook and Allan J. McDonald. Read their posts here (includes CNN video) and here.
The symposium will also feature artifacts (an o-ring?) and documents from the Roger and Roberta Boisjoly Challenger Disaster Collection. Boisjoly, Cook, and McDonald were all whistleblowers in the wake of the space shuttle accident. Boisjoly donated his papers to Leatherby Libraries at Chapman University. He was also a guest blogger at Lofty Ambitions. Read his post here.
We also include discussion of Challenger in one of our "Countdown to the Cape" posts here. You can view the report from the Presidential Commission (before which the whistleblowers testified) here.
Below is a 45-minute NASA documentary of the launch and investigation. If you watch the entire video, you get a sense of exactly what happened, where the o-ring was, where the plume of flame emerged, how the shuttle broke apart, even the path of the crew cabin as it fell to the ocean, and how the shuttle parts were recovered and reconstructed.

Just visited the Space Museum in Alamogordo, New Mexico last Friday. It is a wonderful exhibit and brought back memories of where I was on certain flight days. It was a balanced display of all the pioneers, movers and shakers for space flight. Sadly, the tragedy of Challenger as well as Gus Grissom and crew were mentioned but there were no details as to the causes of these terrible losses.
- 2. A. Leahy - January 24, 2011
The symposium was fascinating, full of detailed information and hope for making the future better. Lofty Ambitions garnered a couple of video interviews, and now we're off to dinner with these whistleblowers.

Age Of Love Results – Mary Eliminated
July 16, 2007 10:17 PM by Joe Blackmon
On the fifth episode of Age of Love, Mark Philippoussis invited Megan,
Maria, and Mary to go to the beach with him. While Mark and the three
women were on their date, Amanda scrubbed down the kitchen and tried to
keep busy to keep her mind off not getting invited.
At the beach, Mark asked Megan to go for a private walk with him. Mary tried to join Mark and Megan on their walk, but Megan became upset when Mark ignored her. After the beach date, Mark invited Amanda and Jayanna to watch a movie with him. Before the movie, Mark had a private drink with Jayanna. After the movie, Mark made out with Amanda.
For his individual date, Mark took Jen for a motorcycle ride to the top of Mulholland Drive. After a romantic day, Mark and Jen played pool at a bar and made out. Back at the apartment, Mary got upset and cried.
Instead of having to eliminate one woman from each age group, Mark only had to eliminate one woman from either age group. Maria once again said that she was going home. At the elimination ceremony, Maria told Mark that he didn't invest enough time in getting to know her at the beach. Mark said that he only spent so much time with Megan and Mary because it was his first date with them, and he asked Maria to stay. After Maria agreed to stay, Mark eliminated Mary. Mary said "I gave it all that I had. You know what, sometimes when you find love you have to make yourself vulnerable to being hurt. I'm going to go home with dignity. I'm not going to go home looking stupid. No one can look stupid for trying. The one thing that sickens me is that Jayanna and Jen are going to be here longer than I am."

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - The chairman of the House Public Health Committee says a proposal to use federal Medicaid money to purchase private insurance for 250,000 low income Arkansans gives Arkansas a unique opportunity to shrink its Medicaid rolls and show other states how to reform health care.
Republican Rep. John Burris of Harrison on Monday made the case for the "private option" lawmakers are considering as an alternative to expanding Medicaid under the federal health care law. The proposal would use federal Medicaid money to buy coverage through the health insurance exchange set up under the law.
The Republican-led Senate on Friday passed "private option" legislation. That bill and a similar House measure are pending before the majority GOP House.
Burris addressed the House during a "committee of the whole" on the bill.

1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the procedure for determining the wet-road skid resistance properties of a surface layer by measurement of sideway-force coefficient (SFCS) at a controlled speed. 1.2 This test method has been developed for use on roads but is also applicable to other paved areas such as airport runways. 1.3 This test method covers the operation of the SFCS routine investigation machine SCRIM. It uses the side force principle to make routine measurements of skid resistance continuously on long lengths of road. SCRIM test equipment has been built onto a number of different vehicle chassis and functions independently of vehicle choice. 1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to inch-pound units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
This standard is needed as there is currently no ASTM standard covering this device. It will be used by the Department of Transport and other organizations that are involved in using SCRIM to carry out friction testing.

Travel Accessories Made Easy
Soft-Sided Travel Carriers
Soft-sided carriers are strong and can withstand some digging. However, if your ferret is one of those ferrets who will dig at the carpet for hours, trying to get under the door, then you may want to look into a hard plastic and wire carrier.
Hard Plastic Carriers
Hard plastic carriers are sturdy and secure, so they're perfect for ferrets who dig excessively.
Wearable Carriers
This style of ferret carrier can also be used around the house, while hiking, or pretty much anytime you're on the go and would like to keep your ferret close. They're especially popular at ferret shows or other places where there is a large number of animals present.
No matter which carrier you decide is best for your ferret, you should always have one handy when taking your ferret out and about.

Should we have a baby shower for our third child?
Years ago my husband and I decided that two children was enough for us, and we gave away most of our baby gear. Now we're expecting a third child -- a welcome surprise. Most of our friends don't think it's appropriate to have a baby shower for a second or third child because they feel the old gear should have been saved. But not only do we want to celebrate this baby, we need help getting equipped for his or her arrival. Help!

When we have ours my youngest will be 21. So she is going to throw me one, i have nothing saved except afew clothes that my grandmpther knitted that i saved.posted 03/04/2011 by wildgypsie
It is most appropriate to have a formal "baby shower" for your first girl child and your first boy child. I understand that people think that every life is special and should be celebrated, but in that case you should call it something other than "baby shower" because the title "baby shower" implies that the intention of the party is to "shower" the mom/baby with gifts. If all you want to do is get people together to celebrate a baby, call it a "baby celebration."posted 03/03/2011 by akillersnowbunny
no you shouldn't show your first and second or third child or at allposted 03/02/2011 by christoph649
yes you shw get big diapers and chris and you will wear one toposted 03/02/2011 by christoph649
Who comes up with what is or isn't appropriate? Honestly it's up to you. If someone thinks it's inappropriate, then they don't have to come ! It sure is sad that someone would sit around passing judgment on someone for celebrating a baby no matter what number in line it was. I am pregnant with my 3rd. Our first boy, and we have 3 different ppl offer to throw showers. I don't think there is anything wrong with it ! We already had several baby items but after crib and car seat recalls, we ended up buying all that stuff ourselves again anyway. But we don't have any boy cloths, toys, blankets or anything like that because with our girls, everyone gave pink everything. SO it will be nice to receive some boy stuff. BUT it's more about celebrating the baby !posted 03/01/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
yes! Every baby should get a shower. I was upset when my family didn't have a shower past our first child. We celebrate their birthdays every year. Why not celebrate their birth too? Doesn't make sense to me why people have a problem with this.posted 03/01/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

I think it is great to celebrate every baby you have. I was offered a 2nd shower for baby #2 and decided it was not the greatest idea, since most of my friends did not have 2nd baby showers. I still received many gifts for my 2nd after she was born. I think if you are going to have a shower for a 2nd child, you should be very careful about inviting only those that are really close friends and family. We were invited to a 2nd shower for someone who was not very happy for us when we announced our second pregnancy. They did not even say congratulations when we had our daughter and had no contact throughout my pregnancy and right after giving birth. Then, a few months after having our 2nd we receive an invite to a baby shower for their 2nd baby. I was very happy about thier new addition, but I was also offended that they would invite us and expect us to celebrate with them when they would not even acknowledge the birth of our baby. Be thoughtful about who you decide to invite.posted 02/26/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I have to say this! To the negative cowards who post anonymously like this member did (quoted below). Why can't you stand by your words or beliefs and post using your username? Could it possiblely be that you know you have no right to be so judgmental and rude!! You can give an opinion without being so simple minded. People like you just add even more discrimination and hate in the world. FYI ladies I had a shower for my 3rd child we bought all our baby gear so thats not the only reason to have a shower. So if you want a shower who cares what someone else thinks just do it real friends won't judge you. Angelina Smith ( I stand behind my words) <quote>"No. Under no circumstance should you have a shower" <quote>.

I think you should have one!! I will be having my 4th baby in june and I was not goin to let anyone give me a shower then I started gettin so many calls about what the baby shower plans were and when I said I was not goin to have one people actually seemed disappointed so needless to say my sister and a bestie are goin to give me a shower!! people love babies and all that goes with them!!

I'm still in school but I received a bill from my lender—do I have to pay it?
No, you can apply for a in-school deferment by contacting the Department of Education: studentaid.ed.gov/repay-loans
What is a State Drop Limit?
The six-drop rule is a requirement mandated by the Texas State Legislature which dictates that students attending public institutions since the fall of 2007 cannot drop more than six classes during the "W" period in pursuit of a bachelor's degree. It is not a hold! It is only a notification to the student and academic advisors that the student has only that number of drops remaining (in the "W" period) –in this case five remaining, during their matriculation towards a Bachelor's degree. It does not reduce or limit current Financial Aid.
The only time the student will need to contact the Registrar's Office is if they are a graduate student or they have "0 Drops Remaining".
Academic Calendars For Important Dates And Deadlines
For all academic calendars for important cyclical process and related dates and deadlines, please go to: http://www.pvamu.edu/pages/105.asp

Middle America loves Wal–Mart, even if the left doesn't
It is increasingly rare to find a report in the media that shows America's largest employer, Wal–Mart, or any large corporation for that matter, in a positive or even neutral light. A loud minority have waged a cultural and public war against Wal–Mart, referring to and viewing it as an evil corporation, a burden on the economy, and even an oppressor of the lower class. But these viewpoints are erroneous and have been disproved by multiple studies showing that Wal–Mart's existence is favorable to our country as a whole, while also providing benefits to millions of individuals, especially to those within the lower class.

More Snow from the Ski Industry
Aspen's at it again. This time, they are promoting themselves in a video claiming that they are actively lobbying for solutions to the climate crisis. They even made a trip all the way to Washington DC.
I don't doubt Aspen's desire to keep snow on the slopes, and the fight against climate change needs all the promotion it can get. But I wonder what else Aspen reps talked about when they were lobbying on Capitol Hill? Do you think they might have brought up S. 1630, the so-called "Water Rights Protection Act" that they have been pushing?
H.R. 3189 passed the House, but only after one of the original sponsors of the bill, Rep. Jared Polis, withdrew his support. Why did he withdraw his support? Because it was, in his words, a "job-killing water grab" that would have choked off America's rivers.
Aspen's bill, S. 1630, is another terrible piece of legislation, just like the House version. And while Aspen is posing for pictures claiming to fight climate change, it is actively lobbying to push legislation to turn over your rivers to big corporations. One of Aspen's allies in this fight is the Colorado Petroleum Association. Now I wonder, what do you think the Colorado Petroleum Association's interest could be in legislation to prevent federal protections for rivers? Maybe…hydrofracking in Colorado?
If Aspen is so concerned about climate change, isn't it strange that partnering on this bill with leading members of the coalition that defeated climate change legislation back in 2010 [the American Farm Bureau Federation, and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association]?
Aspen has put out a bunch of words and flashy videos about their commitment to the environment. But when it comes to your rivers, their actions tell a different story. That's why we need you to take action today. Contact your Senator and ask them to stand up against the latest attack on our rivers the job-killing water grab that is S. 1630.

Reid era will be remembered for missed opportunities
January 1, 2013, 9:00 am
When the sting of this season fades and the disappointment gives way to reflection, what will we remember about Andy Reid? How will we view the man who coached the Eagles longer than anyone else and leaves as the fifth winningest active coach in the NFL?
At some point, will the same fans who chanted "Fire Andy" at Lincoln Financial Field sit back and say, "You know, he really was a good coach,"? Somewhere down the road when he is inducted into the Eagles Hall of Fame – and, yes, that will happen – will he walk on the field to a warm and appreciative ovation?
I believe he will, and that's as it should be.
Reid is a good football coach. In my view, he is the second best coach in Eagles history. I would put only the late Earle (Greasy) Neale ahead of him.
Neale coached the Eagles to seven consecutive winning seasons which is still a franchise record and won back-to-back NFL championships in 1948 and '49. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1969. Neale's 66 regular season victories stood as the team record until Reid broke it in 2004.
Reid doubled Neale's win total – he had 130 regular season victories, 140 if you include the postseason – in 14 years on the job. It is an impressive resume, one that may not be equaled by another coach. It is rare in this day and age for any coach in any sport to last that long in one place. Reid was able to do it although he was under fire for the last two years.
Where Neale succeeded and Reid failed was in taking the final step; that is, winning a championship. Neale took the Eagles to three championship games and won the last two. Reid took the Eagles to one Super Bowl and lost to the New England Patriots. From that point on, it was a slow but steady downhill slide until finally hitting bottom this year.
The long-term view of Andy Reid will be determined, in part, by the coach who succeeds him. If the next coach bombs out and the team remains on the bottom of the NFC East Reid will look better even as he fades in the rearview mirror. But if the next coach comes in and takes the team to a Super Bowl and wins then fans will judge Reid more harshly.
"See, this guy got it done," they will say. "Andy never could."
It may not be entirely fair, but in a bottom line business like the NFL and a championship starved city like Philadelphia, that's the way it works.
To me, Reid's career in Philadelphia is a mixed bag. It was successful in terms of wins and longevity, but I see it largely as a missed opportunity.
For a three-year period, 2002-04, I believe the Eagles were the best team in the NFC and arguably the best team in the entire league. Give Reid due credit for building those teams, but they should have gone to more than one Super Bowl, and they probably should have at least one Lombardi Trophy in the lobby by now.
Three consecutive losses in the NFC title game, two of them at home as the favorite. All missed opportunities. Another trip to the NFC title game in 2009 and a loss to an Arizona team the Eagles crushed (48-20) just two months earlier. Another missed opportunity.
For a long time, the Eagles were a good team playing in a lousy division. In the years from 2001 through 2004, the Eagles were the only team in the NFC East with a winning record. In two of those seasons, they were the only team in the division to finish above .500. They had an easy road to the postseason and home field advantage, but they kept falling short when it mattered most.
In the past 12 seasons, 10 different NFC teams went to the Super Bowl. Half of them were one-and-dones, including Tampa Bay and Carolina, teams that beat the Eagles in the conference final. Arizona, Seattle and Chicago (Rex Grossman? Are you kidding?) hardly qualified as dynasties. So as a team was in the mix almost every year, the Eagles should have done better.
Some of that can be blamed on Reid, who was outcoached in a number of big games. It is an established fact that he is not a good game manager. He doesn't handle the clock well and he wastes timeouts and he stubbornly insists on throwing the ball when it would be wiser to run. Those are the things that haunt a team in close games, and most postseason games tend to be close. Reid's critics have pointed this out, correctly, for years.
But Reid deserves a lot of credit. He took the Eagles job with zero head coaching experience. He inherited a 3-13 team and coached it to the playoffs in two years. He identified Donovan McNabb as a quarterback he could build around and drafted him in a move that was unpopular at the time. He assembled an outstanding staff of assistants, in particular defensive coordinator Jim Johnson, who helped him as he learned the ropes.
Reid built a team with young and hungry players with outstanding leadership among the veterans like Brian Dawkins, Jeremiah Trotter and Troy Vincent. It was a team invested in the program and invested in the coach, a team that believed in its mission and fought hard for it.
But as that coaching staff scattered and the players aged and retired, Reid was unable to put it back together. He hired coaches who weren't as good and he brought in a number of veteran players who just didn't connect and everything fell apart. As this season spun out of control, Reid appeared dazed and out of answers.
Years ago, I interviewed Bill Walsh, the father of the West Coast offense and architect of the San Francisco 49er dynasty. I asked why he retired after the 1988 season. He had just finished his 10th season as head coach and won his third Super Bowl. He said simply, "It was time."
"I was worn out, the pressure was too much," he said. "I really think 10 years is the limit for any coach. Even if you've had success, there is a need for change. The players need to hear a new voice. A fresh perspective is a good thing. It is necessary."
Andy Reid lasted 14 years in Philadelphia, which is a very long time. The Eagles need a new voice and a fresh perspective; that's true. And Reid himself needs a fresh start with another team in another city. Bill Walsh was right. It is time.

What he's saying is Jim Johnson made it all happen. That and the veteran core of players inherited from the Rhodes era and the simple decision to draft a franchise QB with the 2nd pick when you have no QB. After that he couldn't identify and hire good assistants, couldn't ever game coach, couldn't ever pick good players in the draft. I can't believe Lurie allowed this guy to hold us hostage for so many years. The last 8 seasons were 8-8 affairs. Reid had 5 good years due to other people. He was entitled far beyond what he deserved and produced, more so than any coach we'll ever see in this league. Good riddance.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Wendy Williams Offers to Pay Rent For Reportedly Evicted Kenya Moore
According to reports, Kenya Moore was evicted from her Atlanta home, and even though Kenya is warning her fans not to believe everything they hear, the eviction notice on her front door seems to speak for itself.
However, in light of her potential housing crisis, Kenya received a kind offer from an unlikely source. On June 5 talk show host Wendy Williams reached out to the beauty queen on Twitter and offered to pay her rent for a month. However, Wendy's offer wasn't entirely altruistic, and definitely had some pretty big strings attached to it.
"@KenyaMoore I'll pay the rest of your May rent if you call before the end of the show and explain what's going on with the landlord," Wendy tweeted.
Unfortunately for Wendy, Kenya declined the offer, but we can't blame a girl for trying! Plus, Wendy did get a response from Kenya acknowledging the gesture.
"@WendyWilliams ha! I love a trick," Kenya tweeted back.
Do you think Kenya was right to turn down Wendy's offer? Vote below!

With interest rates on a high, its time for you to give debt funds a serious consideration, if you havent already. A debt fund is a type of mutual fund that invests in both deposits and bonds.
What does an individual investor do with his surplus money? Typically, he makes a bank fixed deposit, invests in bonds or puts the money in corporate fixed deposits. A debt mutual fund makes life simpler, by investing your money in various fixed-return instruments. However, there are certain aspects that you must keep in mind while investing in a debt fund.
This is a crucial factor because a longer tenure means additional risk and higher exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The bond value is inversely proportional to the interest rates a rise in interest rates results in a fall in the price of bonds and vice-versa. Short-duration bonds have lesser chance of being affected by significant interest rate fluctuations than long-term bonds. For example, the price of a five-year bond will fall 5% reacting to a rise in interest rate by 1%. An investor should keep in mind his risk appetite and return expectations before choosing the tenure. Its also important to analyse the interest rate trend before investing.
Investment quality
The investment quality of a bond is determined by the credit rating assigned to it based on assessment of various risk factors. A high-risk bond offers higher returns, but is assigned a lower rating and, similarly, a low-risk bond offers lower returns, but is assigned a higher rating by credit rating agencies. Debt fund managers, sometimes, take higher position in bonds with lower ratings to maximise profit, but, at the time of redemption, such bonds lack liquidity. Therefore, investors should focus on funds that invest only in medium-to-high credit rating bonds and debt instruments.
Fund charges
Some debt funds attract investors with lucrative returns, but, on the other side, trap them by levying exit loads. Check the exit load, other associated charges and the lock-in before investing in any debt fund. A debt fund with a higher expense ratio needs higher returns to cover the expenses. Therefore, fund managers could go for lower rated bonds to fetch higher returns. Also, higher associated fund charges would reduce the actual benefits. Therefore, a debt fund with a lower expense ratio should be preferred.
Size of a debt fund
A debt fund with a large corpus means greater

Tallahassee, FL (AP) - The Florida Senate's Democratic leader
says Gov. Rick Scott's 90-day freeze on state contracts is delaying
Sen. Nan Rich of Weston on Wednesday called upon the new
Republican governor, who ran on a job-creation platform, to lift
his hold on $400 million in transportation contracts approved
before he took office last week.
One of Scott's first acts was to suspend all state contracts of
$1 million or more until they could be reviewed by the new
Scott spokeswoman Amy Graham said in an e-mail that holding
government accountable and reducing unnecessary spending is hardy a
jobs killer. She said the governor's office received the
transportation contracts Tuesday and is reviewing them now.

Quote matt keen:
Well thats not true for everyone really
The people who work in the factory are the ones who are subsidising the prices
Fair enough on your viewpoint - here is mine on this vast subject:-
1. Without going too deeply into economics, one reason why goods from China (and some parts of the Far East) are cheaper is due to a cheaper cost of living out there meaning cheaper labour. Yes, there are stories of terrible conditions but there are also stories of folks having employment in the technology industries and actually making a better life for themselves.... China now has more and more people entering a new 'middle class' due to its huge economic growth and prosperity. We are actually now starting to export meat to China as more and more people out there can actually afford it.
2. You are making your point using a PC / Mac or mobile device that will have components within it that have been made in a factory where the workers get paid far less than you or I. The words will be transmitted across the Internet using servers where more cheap Far Eastern technology is used.
3. Any UK built musical device that features electronic components will almost certainly have had some of its parts manufactured in China / Far East.
So my thoughts are 'how can you turn a blind eye to that but then get upset about one of these pedals?'

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Alabama football team worked for two hours in full pads at the Thomas-Drew Practice Facility, its first of two practices on Thursday. The second practice is set for 7:30 p.m. in shells.
Thursday marked the Tide's second two-a-day practice of the preseason. Alabama will have one more two-a-day practice on Monday, Aug. 17.
"We are working our way through it, and we are pleased with the progress that we are making," Alabama head coach Nick Saban said following Thursday's morning practice. "We have a lot of young guys that are making a lot of progress. We are very pleased with some of the older, more experienced players in terms of the leadership that they are providing. I think that is very, very important that somebody steps up and says `match my intensity'."
Coach Saban announced today that sophomore running back Jeramie Griffin suffered a torn ACL during a non-contact drill and would need surgery and be lost for the season.
In other news on Thursday, senior kicker Leigh Tiffin was named to the Lou Groza Award preseason watch list. The award is presented annually to the nation's top place-kicker by the Palm Beach (Fla.) Sports Commission. Tiffin is one of 31 preseason candidates, including five SEC kickers.
"It's a great honor and I am very happy, but it doesn't mean anything now," Tiffin said. "We are working hard and I kicked the ball well today. I just try to continue to get better each day."
Tiffin handles all place-kicking and kickoff chores for Alabama and ranks fifth on the Tide's career kick-scoring list with 253 career points, just 92 points behind career leader Phillip Doyle (345). As a sophomore in 2007, Tiffin set the UA single-season record for points (111) by a kicker and mostfield goals (25) made.

Still in the public consciousness is the "Black Hawk Down" episode in Somalia in 1993, where two U.S. helicopters were shot down and 18 U.S. soldiers were killed. So Obama and his advisers are wary of becoming deeply involved in the region again.
WASHINGTON — President Obama vowed Monday to "halt the rise of piracy" off the coast of Africa after the dramatic rescue of a U.S. merchant captain, foreshadowing a longer and potentially more treacherous struggle ahead.
Obama permitted Navy SEALs to shoot the pirates holding the captain, Richard Phillips. But policymakers and experts said the precision takedown of three Somalis with three bullets would certainly be easier than wiping out the larger threat in the shipping lanes or reversing the instability that makes Somalia a breeding ground for pirates and Islamic terrorists.
Still in the public consciousness is the "Black Hawk Down" episode in Somalia in 1993, where two U.S. helicopters were shot down and 18 U.S. soldiers were killed. So Obama and his advisers are wary of becoming deeply involved in the region again. That wariness comes as Obama is already trying to end a war in Iraq and win one in Afghanistan. White House officials Monday played down suggestions that the United States could attack pirate bases on shore.
Other options before the administration, according to experts:
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Seattle-based seafood company shuts down
- What's the top spelling 'mistake' in Washington state? The answer could make you sick
- UW receiver Isaiah Renfro opens up about depression, announces he's leaving team
- So the NRA sends a questionnaire to a Seattle state senator ...
Most Read Stories
• Deploying more ships to patrol the region;
• Pressing commercial shipping companies to stop paying ransoms and to do more to defend their vessels;
• Pressing other nations to help capture pirates and bring them to justice;
• And doing more to build up a fledgling transitional government in Somalia.
"All I can tell you is I am confident we will be spending a lot of time in the Situation Room over the next few weeks trying to figure out what in the world to do about this problem," Defense Secretary Robert Gates told students and faculty members at the Marine Corps War University in Quantico, Va.
The pirate prisoner
While the national-security team discusses the long-term challenge, the Justice Department said it was deliberating whether to try the lone surviving pirate in the United States or to turn him over to Kenya for trial.
The rescue of Phillips drew widespread praise for the Navy and Obama, but some experts warned that it could escalate the campaign by Somali pirates who have vowed to take revenge on Americans and are holding more than 200 hostages from other countries.
"I want to be very clear that we are resolved to halt the rise of piracy in that region," Obama said. "And to achieve that goal, we're going to have to continue to work with our partners to prevent future attacks. We have to continue to be prepared to confront them when they arise. And we have to ensure that those who commit acts of piracy are held accountable for their crimes."
Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., and chairman of the Senate's subcommittee on African affairs, sent a letter to Obama calling for a comprehensive strategy to shore up the new transitional government in Somalia. Feingold called central authority the ultimate solution to piracy.
"People are talking about this as a piracy issue," Feingold said. "That is not the core issue here. It is a symptom of a disunified government."
Somalia has careened between lawlessness and rule by warlords for most of the past two decades, providing a haven not only for pirates but also for Islamic extremists.
No military solution
Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey, ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee's Africa subcommittee, said any military response would have to be fully supported and sustained.
"We cannot do what we did in Somalia before," he said. "Brave soldiers died. So everyone, especially this administration, needs to be careful before pushing that button."
Bobby Pittman Jr., who was President George W. Bush's senior adviser on Africa, said finding pirates on the open seas would be akin to hunting for "a needle in the haystack," while attacking camps on ground would lead to civilian casualties.
Gates said the challenge was made harder by the lack of a strong central government in Somalia, raising the possibility that it would be necessary to work with functioning local officials instead of leaders at the national level.
"There is no purely military solution to it," he said at the Marine Corps War University, according to a military news service. "And as long as you've got this incredible number of poor people and the risks are relatively small, there's really no way in my view to control it unless you get something on land that begins to change the equation for these kids."
escapes shelling
MOGADISHU, Somalia — Rep. Donald Payne, chairman of the House subcommittee on Africa, narrowly escaped a mortar attack Monday as he was ending a visit to Mogadishu, Somalia's bullet-ridden capital, that he undertook against the advice of the Obama administration.
Just a day after U.S. military snipers killed three Somali pirates and freed a kidnapped sea captain, eliciting vows of revenge from pirates and other Somalis, several mortar rounds exploded in the vicinity of Payne's plane as it was taking off from Mogadishu. At least 10 civilians were wounded.
The congressman, a Democrat from Newark, N.J., was unhurt. It was unclear if insurgents who routinely shell the airport were trying to hit his plane or were simply unleashing another assault on the city's main lifeline.
