Pitt has a winning record (4-3) after seven games for the first time since 2010, but the schedule takes a difficult turn this week.The Panthers travel to Atlanta on Saturday to face ACC Coastal Division opponent Georgia Tech (5-3, 4-2).
After that, it's Notre Dame (6-2), North Carolina (2-5, 1-3), Syracuse (3-4, 1-2) at the Carrier Dome and No. 7 Miami (7-0, 3-0).
The good news is Georgia Tech plays the same triple-option offense that Pitt prepared for and confronted Saturday at Navy. Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson is a former Navy offensive coordinator (1995-1996) and coach (2002-2007).
The bad news is Pitt couldn't stop Navy's offense in the fourth quarter of a 24-21 loss.
"Hopefully by next week, we should be able to get it," defensive end Bryan Murphy said.
Murphy said he was surprised Navy gave Pitt so many problems after what he termed a good week of practice.
"Everybody was so confident. Everybody trusted each other that they were going to have each other's back," Murphy said.
Thomas' return
Linebacker Todd Thomas was Pitt's leading tackler against Navy, with nine stops, a week after he was benched against Old Dominion in favor of an extra defensive back.
Thomas said he was impressed with Navy's energy level.
"They work hard. They won't stop," he said. "Full of energy. I guess they wanted it little bit more than we did."
Turning point
Pitt lost failed to capitalize on big opportunities when it was clinging to a 13-7 lead Saturday:
About seven minutes into the third quarter, Murphy sacked Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds.
The punt gave Pitt possession on the Navy 49, but what followed were:
• A 1-yard completion to tight end Manasseh Garner.
• A gain of 3 yards by running back Rachid Ibrahim.
• A false start by left tackle Adam Bisnowaty.
• A loss of 4 yards on a pass to Ibrahim.
• A punt.
"We had great field position, and we did nothing with it," coach Paul Chryst said.
After that sequence, Navy scored on three consecutive, game-ending possessions (17 points in 14:28 after scoring seven in the first 45:32).
Murphy on the rise
Murphy has been one of the most improved players on defense since the beginning of the season. He has at least one tackle for a loss in four of the past six games. His only shutouts were when he was injured and didn't play against Duke and Virginia.
Chryst, who seldom singles out specific players for praise, said: "I thought Bryan Murphy played real well (Saturday)."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/4/2011 (2309 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In her April 23 column, When model behaviour is unbecoming, Lindor Reynolds expends considerable ink criticizing the Sun News Network and the attire of its female journalists. If only she expended the same effort checking her facts.
Reynolds wrote: "Erickson posed as a Toronto Sun SUNshine girl. She wore a variety of sports jerseys, ripped T-shirts and leggings. She's a comely woman and these photos made the most of her attributes."
She further suggested I've contributed to the sexualization of our network by appearing as a Sunshine girl, an act I might have been "forced" to do.
First, I appeared in the photo on my own volition. And if Reynolds took the time to actually view the photos for herself, she would know I was not wearing ripped T-shirts.
I wore jeans and a T-shirt that was entirely intact and, for the record, not a centimetre of cleavage was revealed, though you would never know by reading Reynolds.
Of course, reporting that the T-shirt was ripped sensationalizes and changes the entire tenor of the pictures. Consequently, it's actually Reynolds who has sexualized our female journalists with her unfortunate error in reporting.
But Reynolds and I do agree on one thing: as she writes, "Women haven't come a long way, baby" and "I really thought this fight was over." So did I. When a woman can't wear jeans and a T-shirt without being the object of derision by her own media colleagues, the fight is clearly not over.
Brad Oswald's April 23 column on the new Sun TV News Network, Sun TV rises; is anyone watching?, comes off sounding like a lot of sour grapes and narrow-mindedness. Does one TV news channel in Canada with a bit of a conservative bent bother him?
When he criticizes SNN for its Spartan sets and lighting, instead of saying the owners do not have the limitless pockets of a U.S. Fox News organization, he could more appropriately have mentioned that they do not have similar access to the $1 billion in taxpayer funds that the left-wing-ranting CBC does.
I for one think SNN is a breath of fresh air and am looking forward to honest and intelligent commentary and hard news, which I find lacking in the dull Free Press.
Brad Oswald and Lindor Reynolds, quit picking on Sun TV. I believe it's completely acceptable for gun-lovers, Bible-thumpers, wrestling fans and bingo players to have their own network.
Where else can haters of unions, environmentalists, the CBC, teachers, gay rights, women's rights, New Democrats and Liberals get together and vent in the company of attractive young women?
I'm not as upset as Reynolds regarding the women's sleeveless tops, just as long as we're not exposed to Ezra Levant and Charles Adler wearing muscle shirts.

The best tax advice that I can give to anyone who is filing their income taxes is to get a really good accountant. Don't use generic tax services such as H & R Block. Ask your friends, neighbours, and co workers who they file their taxes with. My accountant was recommended to me by a co worker/friend 5 years ago and I have been a client ever since. Most accountants have access to the newest professional software on the market like intuits QuickBooks Online for accountants. If there is one thing in life that I really hate (other than the snow) it is paying income tax to the federal government.
My accountant gives me specific tax advice on what to do throughout the year in order to have a tax refund for the next year. The first time I saw my accountant he refilled my taxes from the previous year and instead of owing $500, I got a $1500 refund. Ever since that day I have been loyal to my accountant, I have referred him several clients over the years. I have also had a refund every single year that I have filed with him, even the year I was audited by the federal government.
According to an article on CNN Money the average tax refund this year is $3129, which is higher than last year's average of almost $3000. The key to having a tax refund is deducting as many expenses from your annual income as possible. The basic tax deductions are contributions into our various retirement savings accounts as well as house related expenses and medical bills. In order to fully benefit from the maximum deductions possible we have to be totally open and honest with our accountant. We need to tell him everything about ourselves, even if you don't think it's relevant, tell him/her anyways. Remember that our accountant works for us, not for the federal government. His job is to get us the maximum refund possible.
I have an aunt who is self employed; she often works from home, even though she also rents an office space. My aunt deducts her dog food. How does she do it? She files her taxes with a really good accountant. I have several friends who deduct their personal trainer fees. Until recently cosmetic surgery was an allowable medical deduction in Canada. However, this changed with our recent budget revision. I guess I waited a year too long to get liposuction.
Here are some more outrageous expenses that people have tried to deduct on their annual income taxes according to CNN Money:
- Prostitutes. A lawyer in New York tried to deduct over $65,000 spent on hookers as a medical expense.
- Candy and Flowers for "Secretaries". I use the term secretary lightly because in my personal opinion it should be replaced with the term mistress. A public defender in California tried to deduct the cost of gifts that he gave to his "secretaries" throughout the year. In my opinion if you can't afford to have a "secretary" then you should go home to your wife.
- Sexy Underwear. A musician tried to deduct his sexy underwear as a business expense. I'm sorry did I miss something? Don't we all wear underwear to work?
- Sperm. Yes you read it right, sperm. A doctor in Massachusetts tried to deduct his sperm donation for in vitro fertilization as a medical expense. Of course it was denied. Maybe he should have tried to deduct it as a charitable donation.
The most amazing thing about this article is that these are professionals, doctors and lawyers, who are trying to deduct outrageous and ridiculous expenses on their annual income taxes.
PS: If you don't know someone who knows someone to help out w/ your deductions or taxes, using tax software will at least get you going (Places like TurboTax are good). It really depends on how much time you want to spend on it or not.

Lebanese singer Ragheb Alama recently was in Italy after receiving a special invitation from the Italian TV station RAI-UNO to take part in the Italian Festival Del Moda E La Muzica (Music and Fashion Festival). The singer sang a number of his latest hits like "Tab Leah" (But Why), which found a huge success around most of Europe.
Ragheb was noted to be the only Arab singer to ever take part in the festival, in addition to being the only one ever hosted on an Italian television station, reported the London based Elaph. The episode that featured Ragheb was aired on the June 17, 2003, and through it the singer received many calls from listeners congratulating him for the success he achieved at the festival.
Ragheb has also traveled to Canada for a special tour, holding several concerts in different areas to the Arab population residing there. Upon his arrival at Toronto airport he and his crew had taken extra precautions before getting off the plane and were wearing masks on their faces to protect themselves from the deadly SARS virus.
Airport security began to worry that the scene may cause a panic outbreak at the airport. Security assured Ragheb and his crew that there is no need for their extra precautions and that SARS has been properly contained. They then were requested to take off their masks and not to worry about the spread of the virus.
Alama previously denied circulating rumors that he has separated from his wife Jihan. The singer also denied the existence of any form of dispute between them, saying that they are enjoying a happy marriage. Recent rumors had it that the couple had a huge fight and that Jihan left Ragheb for good. The dispute was over the fact that Jihan found out that Ragheb is involved in an affair with another woman and realized she could not bare such a thing. Ragheb strongly denied having any form of a relationship with another woman stressing the fact that he would never cheat on his wife. –Albawaba.com

Generic Name: loxapine (LOX-a-peen)
Brand Name: Loxitane
Loxitane is used for:
Treating schizophrenia. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Loxitane is a tricyclic antipsychotic. Exactly how Loxitane works is unknown.
Do NOT use Loxitane if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Loxitane or to other similar medicines
- you have severe central nervous system depression (eg, severe drowsiness), are in a coma, or have been sedated
- you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB)
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Loxitane:
Some medical conditions may interact with Loxitane. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a history of other mental problems, heart problems, glaucoma, difficulty urinating or risk factors for difficult urination, Parkinson disease, breast cancer, liver problems, brain growths or cancer, a stomach blockage, or seizures
- if you are very ill or weakened
- if you are dependent on alcohol or drink large amounts of alcohol regularly
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Loxitane. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), narcotics (eg, codeine), or sodium oxybate (GHB) because the risk of side effects, such as severe drowsiness, may be increased
- Anticholinergics (eg, trihexyphenidyl) because side effects of Loxitane may be increased
- Benzodiazepines (eg, lorazepam) because side effects may be increased by Loxitane
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Loxitane may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Loxitane:
Use Loxitane as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Loxitane may be taken with or without food.
- Using Loxitane at the same times each day will help you to remember to take it.
- Use Loxitane regularly to receive the most benefit from it.
- Continue to use Loxitane even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.
- If you miss a dose of Loxitane, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Loxitane.
Important safety information:
- Loxitane may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or blurred vision. Alcohol, hot weather, exercise, and fever can increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Also, sit or lie down at the first sign of dizziness, lightheadedness, or weakness. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous until you know how you react to Loxitane. Using Loxitane alone, with certain other medicines, or with alcohol may lessen your ability to drive or perform other potentially dangerous tasks.
- Avoid drinking alcohol or taking other medications that cause drowsiness (eg, sedatives, tranquilizers) while taking Loxitane. Loxitane will add to the effects of alcohol and other depressants. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines are depressants.
- Do not become overheated in hot weather or during exercise or other activities because heatstroke may occur.
- Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a potentially deadly syndrome associated with Loxitane. Symptoms include: Increased body heat; muscle rigidness; altered mental abilities, including lack of response to your surroundings; irregular pulse and blood pressure; increased heart rate; sweating; irregular heart rhythm. Contact your doctor at once if any of these symptoms occur.
- Involuntary and uncontrollable movements may develop in patients taking Loxitane. Occurrence is highest among the elderly, especially women. The risk of developing these involuntary muscle movements and the likelihood they will become permanent are increased with long-term use and with high doses. However, it is possible to develop these symptoms after short-term treatment at low doses. Contact your health care provider at once if any of the following occur: Involuntary movements of the tongue, face, mouth, or jaw (eg, protrusion of tongue, puffing of cheeks, puckering of mouth, chewing movements), sometimes accompanied by involuntary movements of the arms and legs.
- Use Loxitane with caution in the ELDERLY because they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially involuntary muscle movements.
- Loxitane is not recommended for use in CHILDREN. Safety and effectiveness have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Loxitane during pregnancy. It is unknown if Loxitane is excreted in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you are using Loxitane, check with your doctor or pharmacist to discuss the risks to your baby.
Possible side effects of Loxitane:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
Blurred vision; constipation; dizziness; drowsiness; dry mouth; headache; nausea; stuffy nose; trouble sleeping; vomiting; weight gain or loss.

This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects to the appropriate agency, please read the Guide to Reporting Problems to FDA.
If OVERDOSE is suspected:
Contact 1-800-222-1222 (the American Association of Poison Control Centers), your local poison control center, or emergency room immediately. Symptoms may include decreased urination; difficulty breathing; involuntary, uncontrolled muscle movements; loss of consciousness; seizures; severe or persistent dizziness.Proper storage of Loxitane:

This is INSANE! Unbelievable that man would do this to any species the Lord hath made.
Maybe we should start putting these hunters in a field of lions with no guns as punishment. I'll bet it would stop then?

Sharing the Trails With Trappers
No one wants to see a dog caught in a trap intended for a marten or a wolf. But it happens every year.
Many of Alaska's communities are adjacent to prime wildlife habitat. Trappers are drawn to these areas, as are dog walkers, snowmachine riders and hikers. Some residents close to these areas allow pets to roam free, and pets sometimes wind up in traps.
To address this issue, the Alaska Trappers Association has produced a new 30-minute video, "Sharing Alaska's Trails."
"We want to be proactive and constructive about this," said Steve Davila, past president of the ATA. "This is part of our effort to eliminate or reduce the risk of pets getting caught, and conflicts on traplines."
Veteran Fairbanks trapper Pete Buist is the narrator on the video. Buist, a hunting guide and former state game board member, is also a former president of the ATA. Buist has trapped for 40 years, and for 20 years he used a dog team to tend his trap line.
The video doesn't show dogs caught in traps, or feature any footage that pet lovers might consider disturbing. It doesn't promote trapping, but deals with the practicalities of sharing the trails.
"If you're of a mind that trapping is just a nasty business and has no place in modern society, we are not here to try to change your mind," Buist says in the opening. "Because no matter what laws and ordinances our government passes, there will always be irresponsible pet owners and irresponsible trappers and where these two low-life forms clash, we unfortunately end up with dogs in traps or snares."
"The content was largely dictated by some of the comments we've heard over the years from people who have had dogs and cats caught," Davila said.
The video highlights signs that a dog walker might see if he or she was near a trap line, such as a bird wing fluttering from a pole, survey tape or flagging and piles of bait. Trappers sometimes post notices alerting others to the presence of their line.
"Sharing Alaska's Trails" also features Buist going over different types of traps and snares and how to release dogs from those traps. He also offers suggestions for subduing and handling dogs in traps.
"He demonstrates how to open them up, how the locks function on snares, diagrams of traps and what a set might look like," Davila said. A 'set' refers to a set trap.
"It's primarily directed at folks with dogs, but we talk about shared trail use and other issues," said ATA vice president Randy Zarnke. Zarnke said trappers targeting wolves will sometimes cut a trail and set wolf traps in the trail. "If recreational snow machine riders ride down that trail, that will put the traps out of commission."
"It's good for folks who are snowmachining to recognize that they are on a trapline, as opposed to just any other trail," Davila said.
The trapper's association spent about $7,000 to get the video made. A small Anchorage-based firm produced the video, Davila said.
The video grew out of trapping-awareness seminars the ATA has delivered in various Alaska communities. As time progressed, it became apparent that more outreach was needed. It's not always feasible to have a warm body in place to speak to groups in Alaska's far-flung communities, Davila said.
Zarnke said the video is circulating. Some groups request that an ATA representative show the video, then answer questions, and others just want the DVD. Zarnke recently showed the DVD and then spoke to a group affiliated with Alyeska pipeline service.
"It was well received and they asked intelligent questions," he said. "If anyone who wants to view this wants a warm body there to answer questions afterward, we'll try to make that happen."
The trappers association had 50 copies of the DVD made. Anyone wishing to request a seminar from the trappers association or to view the DVD can call 457-1774 or e-mail email@example.com. There is no charge for borrowing the DVD.
"We let them out for about 30 days, and ask folks to send them back to us. Folks also have the opportunity to purchase them if they want one to own," Devila said. The DVD is for sale for $15.
Riley Woodford is a writer and editor with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's Division of Wildlife Conservation. He trapped as a teenager in Oregon but was not particularly dangerous to furbearers or dogs.

Photo via Fetty Wap's Instagram
Fetty Wap is still having women problems. Between having
unprotected sex with everyone, 1-2 new babies on the way, and two girlfriends, Fetty has his hands full! Fetty Wap has been in a relationship with Alexis Sky for a little while now, but a few months ago his alleged "day one" girl popped up on social media. Fetty recently bought his "day 1" Yaya @brainz_b4_beauty a new car and it didn't go well with Alexis Sky. Fetty took to Instagram to express his love for both women as he said,
"I no it ain't right in y'all eyes, but I love two different personalities & I'm living my life and getting this money so f*ck how ya feel. #Zoovie #RichAnHappy."
Fetty is not here for monogamy! Fetty Wap has also been having issues with his baby mama Love & Hip Hop's Masika. Their issues have spilled onto social media. Masika referred to Fetty as "dirty d*ck," and Fetty told her she never asked him to bring a condom or asked if he had one so he asked what does that make her? If Fetty doesn't get it together, he is going to go broke and have a few diseases.

The system used cloud to verify card user ID with photo
iPad point-of-sale (POS) solutions provider Revel Systems has launched Revel 2.0, an updated version of its POS system that touts several new user features with a strong focus on security updates, including photo confirmation anti-identity theft protection built directly into the POS.
With Revel's patent-pending new identity theft protection feature, an image of the credit card holder appears on the screen every time a card is swiped through the Revel iPad POS system, giving merchants and customers enhanced protection.
"At Revel we spend a lot of our time thinking about and trying to stay one step ahead of security for mobile point-of-sale transactions, while keeping ease-of-use front and center," said Chris Ciabarra, Revel's CTO and co-founder who has a background in IT credit card security. "For this important update, the team laid out all possible security issues for our customers. Concentrating on credit card fraud – both current and forward thinking into future scenarios – we built onto the advancements that have been made for chip-and-PIN, CVV codes and PCI compliance to add a brand new component that utilizes the power of the cloud and social web to pull the most obvious anti-identity theft tool out there: your face."
According to Revel, while anti-fraud and anti-theft features are becoming more commonplace for POS systems, anti-identity theft has proven to be a more difficult task to integrate into systems. Stolen, fake or fraudulent cards have been extremely difficult to flag at the actual POS device, since systems have not had a way to visually recognize a consumer.
Revel's in-system facial confirmation feature addresses this challenge. At the time of sale, the employee takes and swipes the credit card. At that point, the Revel iPad POS will pull the customer's photo from their Revel account, which can be created through online Facebook integration. The POS will then check for visual verification and prompt the employee to verify that the picture shown matches the person using the credit card, consequently removing any threat of stolen PIN codes or cards.
In addition to the security feature enhancements to Revel 2.0, additional updates include:
- New AES 256 Encryption code for Infinite Peripherals card swipes
- Mobile device management through partnership with Moki Mobility to allow for remote iPad management, including the ability to lock down lost or stolen iPads and data
- Catering tracking orders and calendar
- Delivery tracking and driver and production analytics, including average prep time, average driver times and detailed delivery order information
- Purchase order (PO) inventory tracking system with advanced inventory and shipment receiving
- SumUp integration payments for UK and Europe
- Updated retail item selection features, including the ability to select size and color of specific items, which will be reflected in the item's photo
- Label printer from iPad for jewelry printing and ticket printing

I mean in a similar situation, like say last year if the Pacers had lost to a superior Miami team, the Indy media would have simply called it as it was. But the NYC media just kills them.
I bet the players/coaches don't read the papers...

I mean in a similar situation, like say last year if the Pacers had lost to a superior Miami team, the Indy media would have simply called it as it was. But the NYC media just kills them.
I bet the players/coaches don't read the papers...
I mean, if I'm the Knicks that game was awesome. A superior team had to get overtime to beat them. I mean, losses suck but you can't say the Knicks didn't show up. They sure as hell showed up yesterday.
One thing I don't believe has been brought up in this thread was our lineup of Scola, Copeland and Paul George as our front line., it was only for about a minute, but defensively it was hard to watch (even though Cope defended Anthony well) but without Roy or Ian in there or at least West our interior defense was nonexistant
Pacers won the game.
Pacers won the game shooting 38%.
PG only had 1 TO.
PG had a good game.
Pacers shot 38%.
Pacers got out rebounded.
Pacers shot "30" 3 pters.
Only 32 PIP(pts in paint).
Hibbert not involved as much as he should be.
Pacers setting for 20 3pters in 1st half digging themselves into a hole.
Pacers have to quit allowing other teams to put them in a hole the 1st half. Better teams won't allow the Pacers to claw back into the game in the 2nd half. Constantly playing from behind will cause the Pacers to get bit when they can ill afford it. When the Pacers got up by 5-6 points in regulation, I kept saying the Pacers needed to put their foot on the Knicks and crush them. Instead, they let them back into the game. The Pacers are fortunate to have won this game, and I'm elated they did. Take that Jimmy Boy Dolan! Money can't buy everything.
I thought Roy's defense was honestly the turning point of the game, he started shading Paul every time Melo came to the post and that was pretty much the end of that.
What I found 'lovely' and funny about that rant of the NY fan is that it sums up many Knicks fans. That complex they have. They think they are good but really they are not that good. They think the grass over there is greener than elsewhere. Don't get me started on the " PG is overrated on defense and Melo is better at rebounding".
I thought it was obvious that the Knicks game plan was to do everything they could to keep us out of the paint. They didn't actually play a zone, but their man-to-man was almost like a zone most of the night. Pacers had a lot of open threes, as the Knicks seemed OK in giving those up or were content to give those up with a defneder running at the shooter. They certainly weren't hugging the three poiint shooters
If the defense is clogging the paint, drive into them and see what happens. If the refs call the offensive foul, then back off and look for perimeter shots. Otherwise, use it to see where the defenders move and if a ball handler can make a pass or get a look. Too often, settling for the 3 is the first option for the Pacers offense - has been for a long time (even pre-HeWhomWeDoNotName)
How many rebounds did Melo have again?
I did see something I hope can work itself out. I'd rather PG not have to guard 'Melo for almost the whole time in a long series. Same with Lebron. There's two things that can help that, that are obvious. Danny coming back and/or Copeland being viable for consistent minutes. I just want 12 - 15 minutes that PG doesn't have to guards those types.
Side note of the obvious: PG's approaching next level stuff, i'll leave it at that so I don't jinx it.

A council has rejected claims it failed to respond to appeals by a college to introduce another crossing on a dangerous road.
In the aftermath of a crash involving a student on Reigate Road, Ewell, this month, Nescot College issued a statement saying Surrey County Council (SCC) had rebuffed lobbying by the college on the issue.
The college said: "Although there have been some improvements such as the reduction in the speed limit on Reigate Road, the college has been unable to persuade Surrey County Council to provide an additional controlled crossing."
But an SCC spokesman hit back, saying: "We're rather surprised by the principal's assertion that the college has been unable to persuade us to provide an additional controlled crossing, as we have no record of it ever being discussed."
A Nescot student was discharged from hospital two days after being hit by a car and suffering head injuries in Reigate Road on Thursday, February 6.
There have been 10 accidents on the road since the council reduced the speed limit to 30mph three years ago. The tally is down from 15 accidents in the three years prior to the speed reduction.
The council spokesman said: "During the past 12 months we have replaced and upgraded the street lighting and altered the speed limit on the Ewell bypass so that it now includes the pedestrian crossing and roundabout."
The college and its partner have submitted controversial planning applications to build 91 homes and a retirement village on fields currently used to care for farm animals in Reigate Road.
The development would fund renovations to its campus and Nescot said: "Plans for the redevelopment of the college include a mini-roundabout and a pedestrian crossing, which we believe will make the area safer."
But many residents fear the development could worsen traffic. Nearly 100 people attended a meeting over the plans which was hosted by four local Residents' Associations on Thursday, February 13.
Keith Lugton, chairman of Nonsuch Park and District Residents' Association, said concerns ranged from strains on education and health services and loss of green space to the impact on flooding and the possibility of Roman remains.
But Mr Lugton said: "The major concern was traffic, particularly on Reigate Road, as it has been all the way through. If you are concerned about these applications then it's up to you to tell the council."
Some residents believe the development would make the road safer. In a letter to the Epsom Guardian, Mr R Knight from Reigate Road said he did not understand the objections to the development work.
Mr Knight said: "First, the anti-group say that it will make road conditions more hazardous for pedestrians and drivers. Surely the opposite will be true.
"With the proposed new mini roundabout, and pedestrian crossing, traffic flows which I agree may be larger, will be slower and therefore less hazardous for everyone."
He said the residential development would also bring new customers to support ailing businesses in Ewell Village and the surrounding area.

Compassionate Fashion: Della X Urban Outfitters
I often hear complaints that compassionate fashion is difficult to identify and access. Los Angeles-based fashion line Della is attempting to bring handcrafted clothes made in Ghana to the masses. This week, Della launched its new eight-piece capsule collection (items start at $50) in Urban Outfitters in hopes of infusing social consciousness and initiating sustainable change. Designer Tina Tangalakis works directly with a community in Hohoe, Ghana, employing over 55 employees and impacting the lives of over 250 with fair wages, education and job skills training. I don't know about you, but I have my eye on that romper!

Herald live chat tomorrow with Federated Farmers President

Herald live chat tomorrow with Federated Farmers President Bruce Wills
Federated Farmers President, Bruce Wills, will be typing replies like there is no tomorrow on Wednesday, when he guests in the New Zealand Herald's online chat on agriculture.
"It will be one small click of the keyboard for a farmer, one giant click for farming and new media," says Bruce Wills, Federated Farmers President.
"I am genuinely looking forward to chatting on-line with the New Zealand Herald's readership. To me this is an incredibly innovative use of technology I am keen to try.
"Since I will be coming into the chat from the shearing shed, it tends to lend a degree of authenticity because I am a working farmer. In terms of previous chats, I am following the keyboard strokes of Auckland Council's chief economist, Geoff Cooper and Dr Jan Wright, the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment.
"The plan is for the livechat to kick off after midday with questions being fed to me from the Herald's online team. I will need to keep my answers short and punchy but my hope is to provide a genuine insight into farming and farmers.
"Farmers are a pretty green bunch because we work in and with nature every day of the year. Agriculture is arguably the largest green employer in New Zealand with diverse roles from hands-on farming to high level science right through to international marketing.
"I appreciate the Herald's online team thinking of Federated Farmers and giving us this exciting new media opportunity.
"The live chat will be promoted from mid-morning on 10 April at www.nzherald.co.nz including all the details of how to participate," Mr Wills concluded.

The macroeconomic effect of the information and communication technology in Hungary
It was not until the beginning of the 1990s that the effects of information and communication technology on economic growth as well as on the profitability of enterprises raised the interest of researchers. After giving a general description on the relationship between a more intense use of ICT devices and dynamic economic growth, the author identified and explained those four channels that had a robust influence on economic growth and productivity. When comparing the use of information technonology devices in developed as well as in developing countries, the author highlighted the importance of the available additional human capital and the elimination of organizational inflexibilities in the attempt of narrowing the productivity gap between the developed and developing nations. By processing a large quantitiy of information gained from Hungarian enterprises operating in several economic sectors, the author made an attempt to find a strong correlation between the development level of using ICT devices and profitability together with total factor productivity. Although the impact of using ICT devices cannot be measured unequivocally at the microeconomic level because of certain statistical and methodological imperfections, by applying such analytical methods as cluster analysis and correlation and regression calculation, the author managed to prove that both the correlation coefficient and the gradient of the regression trend line showed a positive relationship between the extensive use of information and communication technology and the profitability of enterprises.

Drop Block

Published: 2012-07-16, by Ana Gracia.
Drop Block is a puzzle application for Android that combines bejeweled and tetris gameplay, creating a mix between the two games that will be enjoyed by fans of both and new puzzle logic players.
What does Drop Block do? A colored block will move from the top of the screen towards the bottom. You need to touch the screen to drop the block into place below, trying to match three of the same color, which will be removed.
The game hinders its gameplay by placing locked blocks, which only disappear when you pass to the next level. On the other hand, the lightning bolt will clear all the blocks from the same color and the hammer will clear the blocks from the same column. Take into account that the game will end when the top block collides so be sure not to let the blocks pile up.
Ward Software is the developer of Drop Block Lite with 5 levels and paid version. As you advance through the levels, the block moves faster and you don't have as much time to think as you had before. Good idea for an exciting and thrilling gameplay, one that will keep you addicted like Tetris did years ago.

So my dh is the one that gets the mail usually, so today when the mailman came, i signed for a certified letter. I opened it, and it was a garnishment letter from the court!!! He apparently didnt pay off his old truck and now they are freezing our account til March!! I called the bank to see if there was any way of setting up a payment plan but they wouldnt talk to me because I am not on the loan, so I spoke with dh when he got home and he was pissed, I couldnt understand why he never called about the letters he was getting in the mail regaurding his bill.
I went to talk to my mil about it, to ask her advice and she kept saying she couldnt help us, I told her I didnt want her help just wanted to talk. so after I left there, she called here and told him that I went over there asking for money!! dh knew what happened because I told him before she called, so he set her straight on that part, but she went on that I need to get off my ass and get a job, knowing that I could hear every word she was saying. So now I am taking a leave of abscense from school because I can't afford to go anymore and going to put in apps for a job. I hate that he has done this to us and our children, I just hope I can find a job to keep us afloat...
WOW! Well yes you need to get a job. I guess you knew that though. I think you also need to step up and take the financial reins. I wonder what else your husband isn't telling you.
Wow. I can't believe he blew it off. I for sure wouldn't go talk to her about it though. She might have thought that you were hinting for the money & hinting that you were bashing him ( though he did totally drop the ball ) So she reacted. I don't agree with how she went about it, at all. Though it is true you are going to have to take a leave of absense from school & get a job. Just how it is going to be.
I hope it can get things squared away. Its a rough situation. Good Luck.
WHy in the world would he not tell you about this sooner before it got this way. I am sorry hun. I wish you the best.

Edmonton, Canada (SPX) Aug 31, 2012
University of Alberta researchers found evidence that a feathered, but flightless dinosaur was able to snag and consume small flying dinosaurs. The U of A paleontology team found the fossilized remains of three flying dinosaurs in the belly of a raptor-like predator called Sinocalliopteryx. Sinocalliopteryx was about two meters in length and roughly the size of a modern-day wolf.
Sinocalliopteryx's flying meals were three Confuciusornis. Confuciusornis was one of the earliest birds and had a crude version of a modern bird's skeleton and muscles. The researchers say such primitive birds were probably limited to slow take-offs and short flights.
According to the researchers, this is the first time a predator has been linked to the killing of multiple flying dinosaurs.
Scott Persons, a U of A paleontology student and research coauthor, says Sinocalliopteryx may have used stealth to stock the flyers. "Sinocalliopteryx didn't have wings or the physical tools needed to be an adept tree climber," said Persons.
Persons explains Sinocalliopteryx had feathers or hair-like fuzz covering its body creating a level of insulation that helped maintain a warm body temperature and high metabolism that required a lot of food to fuel.
"The fact that this Sinocalliopteryx had, not one, but three undigested birds in its stomach indicate it was a voracious eater and a very active hunter," said Persons.
This find was made in China's Liaoning province, and U of A researchers analyzed stomach contents of a second Sinocalliopteryx fossil discovery from that area.
The researchers identified this Sinocalliopteryx's last meal as a Sinornithosaurus, a small feathered meat-eater about the size of a house cat that may have been able to fly or glide short distances.
"Sinornithosaurus is a relative of Velociraptor which means this is the first direct evidence of a raptor becoming another predatory dinosaur's meal," said Persons.
The research was led by U of A Master's paleontology student Lida Xing. The U of A coauthors includes Tetsuto Miyashita, Michael Burns and Phil Currie. The research was published Aug. 29 in the journal PLoS ONE.

Fugitive Mafia boss captured
Italian police have arrested a convicted Mafia boss who'd been on the run for six years.
Police said they found Salvatore di Gangi hiding at an apartment block in the centre of the Sicilian capital, Palermo.
They said he was holding a handgun and was listening to radios tuned to police frequencies.
Di Gangi was sentenced to fourteen years in prison in his absence in 1992 for involvement in organised crime in the southern Sicilian town of Agrigento.

2003 FIFA World Youth Championship
Nov. 24, 2003 -- Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
NO REST FOR THE WEARY: The U.S. MNT players and staff are in a word, exhausted. After leaving Chicago O'Hare airport at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22, the team was either on a plane, waiting in an airport or riding a bus for the next 22 hours, before finally hitting the hay at their hotel in Abu Dhabi around 4 a.m. local time on Nov. 24. Their travels took them from the Windy City to Frankfurt, Germany (8 hours), where there was a four-hour layover before jumping back onto a plane to Dubai, UAE (6 hours). They may have been in UAE, but the travel didn't stop as after about an hour wait the team slugged onto a bus for its final two-hour trek to Abu Dhabi. That gave them all of six hours sleep before they got up for breakfast at 10:30 a.m. and shortly thereafter left for their first practice in UAE. The trip was even longer for most as they had connecting flights into Chicago earlier on Saturday, to meet up with the local Chicagoans.
QUITE A GREETING: The FIFA Local Organizing Committee gave the U.S. a warm welcome to the "Land of Charm", ushering the staff and players into a cushy lounge directly off the gate and providing them with juice, sandwiches and cookies. Captain Bobby Convey and forward Ed Johnson took their first pictures of the trip, posing with a few of the LOC members before the team traversed downstairs to wait for their bus to Abu Dhabi. Also waiting for the U.S. were a couple members of the local media, including Dubai Sports Channel, which interviewed both head coach Thomas Rongen and Convey.
SAND, SAND AND MORE SAND: Despite the lack of sleep, everyone in the U.S. contingent were wide-eyed when their bus first left the Dubai airport for the 160 km trip to Abu Dhabi, as it was the first trip to the Middle East for most and they were eager to see the passing view out the window. The team got to see a bit of the city and numerous mosques along the highway, but after the first half-hour, most of the players drifted off to sleep as the rest of the drive was lacking on scenery (it was basically like driving across Arizona or New Mexico – lots of sand). There was a signal of soccer's popularity in the country though, as a SUV rolled by with a Celtic Football Club cover on the spare tire attached to the trunk.
FIRST GO-AROUND: The U.S. Under-20s went through their first day of training with two practice sessions on Monday, the first at 11:30 in the morning and the second at 5 p.m. Both sessions took place at the same training ground in the Zayed Sports Complex, and were only a little more than an hour each as the players were low on rest and still getting used to the time change.
U.S. GAME SCHEDULE: The U.S. will begin Group F play will play on Saturday, Nov. 29 against Paraguay at Al-Nahyan Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Kickoff is at 5:45 p.m. local (8:45 a.m. ET) and will be televised live on Galavision in the eastern (8:30 a.m.), central (7:30 a.m.) and mountain (6:30 a.m.) time zones. In the Pacific Time zone, the match will be televised tape delay, starting at 8:30 a.m. The match can also be followed live via ussoccer.com's MatchTracker, presented by Philips Electronics. The U.S. will then meet Germany on Dec. 2, before finishing group play against South Korea on Dec. 5.

BOWLING OR STEAM BATH?: The U.S. definitely won't be getting bored anytime soon while staying at the Armed Forces Officers Club in Abu Dhabi as the gigantic hotel has numerous amenities available during their stay. The Club offers an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a billiard room, a fitness and weight-lifting center, a steam bath, a movie theatre, table tennis, squash courts, a bowling alley and even an indoor shooting range. The movie selection is fairly up-to-date as two of the movies shown this week will be "10 Ways to Lose a Guy" and "The Matrix Reloaded." The players also brought a video game system, which they hooked-up in the players lounge to pass the down time.
GOOD EATING: If the first day of meals is any indication, the U.S. will be eating incredibly well during their stay at the Officers Club. The buffet line of food includes a salad bar, a number of different entrees from chicken to meat to fish, and a tantalizing dessert bar (which will mainly be devoured by the staff). The hotel staff also added a touch of home as there is a model of the Liberty Bell (with crack and all) situated behind the buffet tables.
THREE SHORT: The U.S. team was three players short when they arrived in Abu Dhabi, as D.C. United's Santino Quaranta, Chicago Fire's Justin Mapp, and MLS's most recent acquisition, Freddy Adu, had to catch later flight for a range of reasons. Quaranta was expected to meet his teammates in Chicago on Saturday, but he wasn't able to fly out of Baltimore due to inclement weather. The forward is expected to arrive late tonight. Mapp and Adu won't be arriving until late Tuesday night as Mapp was with the Fire for the MLS Cup, while Adu was only recently added to the roster due to a late injury to San Jose Earthquake Arturo Alvarez.
STAFF STARS: While roaming the Frankfurt airport aimlessly for a place to grab a quick bite to eat during the team's layover, the 12 members of the staff were presented with a situation the players are normally in. A Taiwan tourist, who had a pin on his jacket that said "I (heart) NY," noticed the staff by their red U.S. Soccer polos and asked if they would be willing to take a picture taken with him. Rongen and the rest of the staff happily obliged the USA fan before continuing their search for a pre-flight snack.
IS BEING IN THE MIDDLE EAST AN EXCUSE?: They might be on the coast of the Persian Gulf, but for a number of the college students on the U.S. roster it doesn't mean they don't still have homework to turn in back in the States. Most of the players said they had to do at least a bit of homework, including UNC 'keeper Ford Williams and Michigan's Knox Cameron, who have papers due this week. Williams is sweating it out as he needs to e-mail his 10-page paper to his professor by Wednesday and, so far, attempts to get hooked-up to the internet have been a struggle. Williams also needs to get online later in the week to take a test on-line this week, which he'll get accomplished between meals and training.
CONCACAF FRIENDLY: The U.S. will play a scrimmage against Panama, a fellow CONCACAF representative in the World Youth Championship, tomorrow at 6 p.m. in Abu Dhabi. Panama finished atop Group A in CONCACAF qualifying last year to advance to UAE, topping Mexico (who also advanced), Cuba and Guatemala. Panama is in Group A of the WYC with Slovakia, Burkina Faso and the hosts, and will open up the tournament against Burkina Faso on Sunday, Nov. 28 at Zayed Sports City Stadium. The match will be played under the lights at a field just outside the Zayed Sports City Stadium.
HOW'S MY TEAM DOING?: A number of the college players will be eagerly checking online or calling back home to find out how their school is fairing in the Div. I NCAA Men's College Soccer Championship without them. Eight players – Knox Cameron (Michigan), Ryan Cochrane (Santa Clara), Steve Cronin (Santa Clara), Ned Grabavoy (Indiana), Jordan Harvey (UCLA), Craig Jared Klass (Washington), Drew Moor (Indiana) and Ford Williams (North Carolina) – are all unable to assist their college teammates as they push towards the Final Four of the College Cup in Columbus, Ohio. Of the six relevant teams, all except Santa Clara were seeded in the top 15 and given a bye in the first round. Santa Clara, which finished the regular season with an impressive 13-3-3 record, sneaked by Southern Methodist 4-1 in penalty kicks to advance to the second round. Below is a list the relevant team's opponent in the second round of the tournament.
2003 NCAA Div. 1 Men's College Soccer Championship
Second Round (games to be played Nov. 28)
UCLA vs. Tulsa
Indiana vs. Kentucky
Michigan vs. Saint Peters
Santa Clara at Loyola Marymount
North Carolina vs. Coastal Carolina
Washington vs. Portland
NO LIVE MLS CUP, BUT NFL: The U-20 MNT thought they had missed the MLS Cup between the Chicago Fire and San Jose Earthquakes as it was played at The Home Depot while the team was in route to Abu Dhabi, but the players will get the chance to see a tape delay tonight at 8 p.m. local time on ESPN Orbit. They may have had to wait a day to see the MLS Cup, but as they piled into their rooms in the wee hours of the morning they were able to get caught up on Sunday's NFL action as ESPN Orbit broadcasted PrimeTime live from the U.S., which was followed by the Sunday night match-up between the Washington Redskins and the Miami Dolphins.
CLARK TAKES THIRD IN MLS ROOKIE VOTING: U-20 MNT midfielder and MetroStars Ricardo Clark finished third in voting for the MLS 2003 Gatorade Rookie of the Year, which was announced on the eve of the MLS Cup last Saturday. Clark set a club record for first-year players by starting the first 27 games of the campaign, logging a team-high 2,590 minutes. During the year, he also found the back of the net three times and notched two assists (including one in the playoffs) to finish with 11 points. The crafty midfielder was the second overall selection in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft and was immediately inserted into the MetroStars lineup. During his rookie season, Clark became an integral part to the MetroStars drive into the playoffs with his deft passing and productive work rate.
Cle was a lumberjack. He could put the wood to you!"
-- U.S. Under-20 Assistant Coach Dave Dir, who coached the Dallas Burn from 1996-2000, explaining the style of play his fellow U-20 MNT Assistant Cle Kooiman was apt to use during his days playing in MLS with the Miami Fusion and Tampa Bay Mutiny.

"I can calculate the motions of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people"
-Sir Isaac Newton
"A typical mutual fund is providing nothing for the mutual fund owner that they could not get by throwing a dart at a dartboard."
Meet Adam Monk, the Chicago Sun-Times stock whiz. His record consistently beats out most of the major investment houses, each of which invests thousands (if not millions) of dollars to predict and project the course of the stock market. He outperforms the major indexes every time.
Adam Monk is not a trained professional. He is a Capuchin Monkey.
Mr. Monk performs two useful duties for me. First of all, he's a reliable guide to investment. He's also an excellent reminder… not of the limits of prediction, but of our society's values when it comes to what we make predictions about. People pour billions of dollars into the market based on the advice of major investment houses. Some win, some lose, but the game continues. And how often do you hear people complain that all investment houses are frauds, based on the poor performance of the one they chose to listen to?
On the other hand, these same people gather around the sun-sign forecast in the paper at work and have a good laugh. "Hey Bob, what sign are you? Aries? This says you're gonna get lucky today!" And then everyone goes back to work, buying and selling stock.
The Wall Street Journal regularly runs a feature comparing the stock market performance of major investment firms to the performance of stocks picked at random by throwing darts. In the ongoing battle between trained professional humans and the darts, the humans are winning… but only by a ratio of 45 to 34. These are not the sort of odds I would want to run my personal life by.
A lot of astrologers no longer perform their traditional role… hard prediction, or de-emphasize their role in that capacity. That's okay by me… the psychological/holistic approach can have profound benefits for a client. I've seen it. But I think a lot of astrologers have drifted away from hard prediction (and understandably so) based on a few memorable, dramatic failures. I know it's happened to me.
To those astrologers out there who have more-or-less completely drifted away from prediction… the hard-and-fast observable forecasts… I urge you to do what I've done recently, particularly if you have your doubts about your own ability to forecast with the accuracy and detail you'd like. I've gone over a long list of my previous consultations of late, and I've discovered that my track record — although far from perfect — consistently beats the big investment firms (who have the benefit of millions of dollars of research, and some of the best mathematical minds out there). I'm also outperforming the monkeys and the darts, thank you very much.
I believe that a consistent, logical, objective application of the traditional predictive techniques offered by astrology can be accurate and useful in a consistent, logical, objective way. Experience backs this up. I see it happen all the time… and if you're a half-decent astrologer, you probably see it happen too. So why aren't I and every other working astrologer out there offering our advice every fifteen minutes on CNN? My guess is that it's a cultural thing… we all like to think we're perfectly in control of our lives, and yet the stock market represents a larger, mostly-beyond-our-control Force Of Nature that we attempt to predict and negotiate with… just like all those "primitive" cultures we like to snicker at, praying to the Rain God for a good harvest.
Either that, or CNN is secretly run by jealous monkeys. I can accept either explanation.

ECO-WARRIORS at a primary school have been rewarded for transforming their classrooms into energy efficient havens as part of an international project.
Pupils at Marlow C of E Infant School were awarded with their third 'Green Flag' status after demonstrating their commitment to eco-friendly measures throughout the school.
After forming an eco-committee alongside parents and teachers, the young activists came up with a full plan of action to save energy and resources.
And a recent inspection from the international Eco Schools initiative was impressed with their efforts, handing the school its third Green Flag in six years.
Teacher Sam Wyton, who helped co-ordinate the project, said: "The eco-committee did a review and looked at recycling, litter and how much electricity we use.
"Our electricity monitors go around and so spot checks in classrooms looking at things like computers being left on and doors left open.
"The kids are better than the adults and they regularly tell their teachers off for leaving their white boards turned on!
"The assessor said he was impressed how it is all embedded into our curriculum and it really helps the kids' awareness of eco-issues"
As well as the eco-spot checks, each class took care of its own recycling and the children formed a litter picking club.
The Eco Schools initiative, part of the Keep Britain Tidy campaign, sees schools attain bronze and silver awards before working towards the coveted Green Flag.
The school, known as Sandygate, has previously received the accolade in 2008 and 2011.

Boxing News of Monday, 29 October 2012
Source: King Kong Team
Former IBF Bantamweight titlist Joseph "King Kong"Agbeko has set a goal; a peace goal he hopes to achieve with Ghanaians. Agbeko is appealing to politicians and their supporters to engage in peaceful campaigns ahead of the 2012 general elections in December.
Agbeko says the Government and Electoral Commission has put in place the necessary institutional and legal structures to ensure that the election will be free, fair and peaceful and is thereby urging Ghanaians to also play a part.
"As we approach this historic event, I appeal to all political leaders and their supporters to engage in peaceful campaigns. Let us all remember that Ghana's collective destiny is far more important than the interest of any individual person or group," the professional bantamweight boxer said.
The objectives of King Kong and his team include the promotion of peace, solidarity, tolerance and unity in Ghana which adds up to national development. A campaign song by famous hiplife artiste Richie & All Stars titled 'Yen Ara Asaase Ni' will also be used to spearhead the campaign. A music video and video documentary will have solidarity messages of prominent people using the phrase – 'My name is...... and I rumble for peace' will be inserted in the videos. Agbeko will be calling on the father of the nation, chiefs, community leaders, political parties, celebrities and more to help make his campaign successful. On the campaign, he described boxing as an important element in the fight for peace, national reconciliation and development.
Taking part in an election is the sure way of influencing the political and economic destiny of Ghana so he will also be distributing T-shirts, hand bands, banners, posters, bumper stickers and more to spread the peace messages. Joseph Agbeko was born March 22, 1980 in Accra and professional boxer with a record of 28 wins (22 knockouts), 4 losses and 0 draws.
In 2010, to award Joseph's efforts in the sport of boxing, the township of Sogakope in the Volta Region of Ghana en-stooled him as a warrior chief. His stool name is Togbe Kaletor I, which means 'Brave Warrior.'

Escape the Dead: Craig Mabbitt's 'Walking Dead' Recap – Season 4, Episode 11
In addition to being Escape the Fate's lead singer, Craig Mabbitt is a diehard viewer of 'The Walking Dead.' For Season 4 of the hit AMC show, Mabbitt has signed on to write an exclusive recap of each episode for Loudwire. Check out his rundown of Episode 11 below:
So let's just start this week off by saying Milton was a WAY better "scientist" than this mullet douche! I just don't like him, something's off……
So we start this week's episode off with a friendship that seems to be blossoming full bloom between Michonne and Carl, as they eat dry cereal. Michonne mentions she'd love it if they had soy milk and Carl explains how a 3rd grade friend had him try and and he puked! He'd rather have Judith's formula….and that's where the convo ends. Rick thanks Michonne for making Carl laugh, and Michonne decides to head out with Carl for supplies and insists that Rick stay behind to rest, which he attempts to do.
We change over at this point to see what Glenn is up to and he's in the back of that army truck and starts bashing the back window demanding to be let off to go find Maggie, so long story short we find out that this mullet scientist knows why this all happened and is the key to saving humanity and they need to get to Washington, D.C. ASAP … This obviously doesn't change Glenn's mind about searching for Maggie, so they get into a brawl, and as always this is the moment walkers show up — this time it's walkers of the corn, ahhhhhhh!
So the Kenny-Powers-lookin'-ass scientist grabs a gun and starts shooting, they eventually eliminate all walker threats but in the process Billy Ray Scientist shoots the fuel tank of the truck … nice goin'! So Glenn walks off and everyone follows … lets see where this takes us.
Now back to Rick, who is trying to rest. He's woken up when a group of men barge into the house looking for supplies, shelter, whatever. This whole scene caused me so much anxiety — Rick hides under the bed, dude plops down on top to rest, is woken up by one of his own to give up the bed, they brawl and dude gets slammed to the ground and choked out to death all while staring at Rick under the bed…INTENSE!
So Rick makes his way out from under there into room from room and eventually to the bathroom where he noticed another dude taking a s–t … uh oh …Rick shuts out his life with the strap of the dude's rifle (how no one heard this ruckus is beyond me); he makes it out the window; jumps to the ground from the roof and sees Michonne and Carl returning. But there's a guy on the patio above him … Rick moves to attempt to take him out and BANG gun shot from inside and walker sounds, I'm guessing that dude that got choked out staring at Rick was reanimated. So Rick takes the opportunity and runs to Michonne and Carl and they run off into the distance.
We now see them walking the railroad tracks and what do they come upon? A terminus sign!! Woot, woot I can't wait for this next episode!! Looks like Rick and Carl are gonna be reunited with Judith soon!
Our thanks to Craig Mabbitt for his recap of the latest episode of 'The Walking Dead.' Please note that Craig's opinions do not necessarily reflect those of Loudwire. You can enter to win a deluxe box set copy of Season 3 in the contest below. Escape the Fate are currently on tour with Eve to Adam. Check out their full itinerary here.

Simon Cowell Alicia Duvall
April 23, 2012 by staff
Simon Cowell Alicia Duvall, Alicia Douvall alleges she had a 6-month affair with Simon Cowell. The blonde former glamour model, who isn't Si's usual type, met the media mogul at a hotel bar in 2001 and reckons he was pretty insatiable in bed.
'On the third of fourth date we ended up doing it 11 times in one night,' claims Alicia, 32.
'We started having sex and went on through the night. We slept a little bit in between but only for a few minutes.'
Alicia says that Simon, 52, even scored her love-making techniques.
'Every time we had sex he wouldanlyse my performance just like a judge on the TV and say how there could be an improvement next time,' she tells The Sun.
Former glamour model Alicia, who has had multiple plastic surgery procedures, is a big fan of The X Factor and even had an op so that her 'ugly' feet looked pretty like Cheryl Cole's.
'I know people will think I'm mad, but my feet were so horrible,' Alicia told Now exclusively in 2009.
'I hated the fact that my second toes were so much longer than my big toes: they were crooked and overlapped.'
The procedure involves cutting some of the bone from the second toe on each foot to make it shorter than the big toe.

I didn't like Cabin Fever and will probably skip out on this one...just seems like gore for the sake of gore.
I finally saw the trailer for this movie, so at least now I know what you guys are talking about. When the trailer first came on, I thought it was for yet another sequel to Saw. This looks like one of those movies that could be really great or just suck eggs. I don't think there will be much middle ground.
No, "Big Lee", they keep moving the release date around. It's looking like a mid Jan relase for now.
hi guys just saw a trailer for this from Germany and it looks sick I cant wait this is gona be mad, I remember when Cabin fever came out and tons of people were saying hes going to do tons of stuff thats gona rock the horror world and everyone else was like no way he sucks well in your face !!!
is the release date still worldwide on the 21st of december?
is the release date still worldwide on the 21st of december?
sounds more like a cash in to me
I HATE the presented by Tarintino header. It's been made clear that he a little or nothing to do with the making of the film. I guess his name use was a favor to his buddy Roth. I liked Cabin Fever and I like the premise of this flick, so I'll be there. I can't wait to see Takashi Miike in his American acting debut.
I want to see this SO bad, but doubt I'll be able to. :'(
Never heard of this yet.
Quote: "Presented By Quentin Tarantino"
I saw a trailer for it and it looks promising.

Electricity and flushing toilets would spoil the spirit of the unique island of Bardsey, it has been claimed.
Former guardians of the so-called island of 20,000 saints off the north Wales coast are worried by plans to bring it into the 21st Century.
BBC Wales' current affairs TV programme Taro Naw, broadcast on S4C, also highlights concerns that local people are losing their grip on the running of the island, at the tip of the Lleyn Peninsula.
The criticism by the former Bardsey Island Trust members follows a £2m modernisation programme recommended in a report commissioned by the trust.
In ancient times the island was an important pilgrimage site and legend has it that thousands of monks are buried there.
It was bought in 1979, but the trust established following its purchase has been faced huge financial losses in the last few years.
They include installing electricity, flushing toilets and turning one of the houses into a B&B and converting a barn into a bunkhouse.
Actor and former trust member Mici Plwm, who has been a regular visitor to the island, said: "It would break my heart if they went too far in developing Bardsey - it would be a great pity."
Former farm tenant Gareth Roberts helped run the island for seven years until 2001.
"I have no confidence in the current trust council members," he said.
The trust - which is run on a not-for-profit basis - said it was trying to increase visitor numbers while maintaining the atmosphere of the island.
Trust chairman Chris Arnold said: "At the moment we aren't coming anywhere near the cap of one thousand visitors a month placed by the Countryside Council for Wales.
"I think we would have to work extremely hard to get to that and indeed we are not seeking to.
"We have responsibilities here and a desire and duty to allow people to get the island and a duty to allow people to enjoy the peace and tranquility on the island - those two things are in conflict with each other - it's a case of getting those two things in balance."
Seals, choughs and shearwaters share the island with eight residents, including farmers David and Libby Barnden, whose first year was portrayed in the BBC documentary Love on a Rock.
Welsh Black cattle and sheep graze in the fields beside the bird observatory, lighthouse, chapel, medieval abbey ruins and the stone Victorian farmhouses that provide accommodation for summer visitors.
Visitors to the Island travel there from Pwllheli or Porth Meudwy, near Aberdaron, over rough seas called the "swnt" throughout the summer months.
The BBC Wales Welsh-language current affairs programme Taro Naw will be on S4C on Wednesday, 17 September at 2025 BST.

Arrests End Building Takeover at San Francisco State
Police arrested 33 protesters Thursday morning who had occupied the business school building at San Francisco State University, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. Campus police, along with San Francisco police, entered the building at 3:15 a.m. and some officers broke windows to get inside because doors had been blocked. The university later announced that the building had been reopened and that regularly scheduled events and classes would take place. The protests have been described as largely being about the major program cuts and tuition increases at the California State University System, but a list of demands on the protesters' Web site also called for the end to wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Gaza; a shift in university control from administrators to students, faculty members and staff; the shutdown of prisons; and the establishment of a single payer health-care system.
