TAMPA — Punting, you might think, is all about having a strong leg. USF sophomore Justin Brockhaus-Kann hopes to show there is more to it this fall.
Brockhaus-Kann came to USF in 2008 with a reputation as a strong punter but wasn't able to get on the field in his first two seasons. This summer, seeing the starting job wide-open for 2010, he set out to improve his consistency, starting with a new technique for holding the ball.
"I changed my drop completely," said Brockhaus-Kann, a 19-year-old from Winter Springs. "Punting is all from the hand to the foot — it's 90 percent drop and 10 percent leg."
His new drop — holding the ball on the side "as if it's shaking your hand," he says — has made it easier to get a tight spiral on a kick, which allows the ball to travel farther. Previously, he said he used more of an underneath hold. Now, after a summer of Skip Holtz expressing concern he didn't have a punter, Brockhaus-Kann has shown enough in the first two weeks of camp to make the job his to lose.
"This summer boosted my confidence and my consistency," said Brockhaus-Kann, who will also serve as holder on field goals and extra points this season. "I've got to prove to (Holtz), and I'm a different punter now."
With last year's starter, Delbert Alvarado, graduated, Holtz said he has seen an encouraging change in his new punter and is finding the consistency he needs from the position.
"In the spring, he'd boom some, then the next three were off the side of his foot," Holtz said. "He's gotten that together, and the first week of camp he was really booming the ball. A good punter is very much like a golf swing, where you have to get to a point where it's the same swing every time."
Brockhaus-Kann's father, Jeff Brockhaus, was a college teammate of former USF coach Jim Leavitt at Missouri, and he still holds the Tigers' school record with an 82-yard punt against Kansas State in 1980. While that connection helped Brockhaus-Kann choose the Bulls, he said he has seen a greater emphasis on special-teams units under Holtz.
"It's way different from last year; we focus on special teams 10 times more than we did last year. Every day in practice, we're working on every type of scenario," he said.
Holtz and special-teams coach Vernon Hargreaves have high standards; their punter at East Carolina the past three years, Matt Dodge, ranked second in the nation last year, averaging 45.8 yards, and was drafted by the Giants.
Holtz has reminded his punters that Dodge didn't start out as an All-American but got there with steady improvement, adding at least 1.5 yards to his average in each of his three seasons.
"Brock has the chance to be that kind of player for us," Hargreaves said. "His consistency level is way higher this fall, and he's made us a lot more comfortable."
He has something else in common with Dodge: size you don't expect from a punter. Brockhaus-Kann is 6-2, 226, with an all-county nod as a high school tight end to go with all-state punter honors.
Holtz went into camp with an open competition between Brockhaus-Kann and freshman Chris Veron, but halfway through his preparations for the Sept. 4 opener, he knows who his punter is.
"At this point, Brockhaus-Kann would be our starter," Holtz said. "He's the clear-cut better punter, and it's because he's been more consistent."

Well i think most of you face the same problem as me sometime - pests. they are killing my plants but i don't wanna use pesticides or poisons to deal with them. anyone have a good suggestions?
Hmmm.... I guess you can step on them and use salt when necessary. :) I don't really have experience because I don't deal with my garden personally.... :P
I have been invaded with ants and ant ests all over rhe garden and my trouble is they are starting to come into the house!
I too dont want to use anything that will kii them Just clear them off somewhere else!
I have taught a number of organic gardening courses and my research and practice has found that white flour, 2% milk or the solution made from boiling uncut tobacco and then sprayed onto the infected plants all work great. Ants can be killed by coursely grindng white rice and sprinkling around the anthill.

Kuntala Waterfall is waterfall located in Kuntala, Adilabad district, Telangana. It is located on Kadem river in Neredigonda mandal. It is the highest waterfall in the state of Telangana with a height of 147 feet (45 meters).
According to the popular and prevalent local belief Kuntala Waterfall got its name after Shakuntala, the beloved wife of King Dushyanth; the pair fell in love with each other and were mesmerized by the scenic beauty of the surroundings. The locals also believe that Shakuntala used to bathe by the waterfall.
Formed by Kadam River, Kuntala falls cascades down through two steps and can be seen as two separate adjacent falls after the peak rains. It is one of the famous one day outings from Hyderabad. There is a motorable road till the entry point of falls from where steps are available to reach bottom of falls. The falls is about 10 minutes (one way) walk from the entry point.
Monsoons and post-monsoons are the best seasons to visit Kuntala Falls. It is dangerous to get into water at the bottom when the water flow is high due to sharp rocks and twists.
Public transport is available till Neredikonda from where private vehicles can be hired. Nirmal & Adilabad are base stations.

Iceland's streams are ideal study systems in the far north, an area of the world where scientists expect the most severe climate warming to occur, said MSU ecologist Wyatt Cross.
He and his collaborators in a four-year study funded by the National Science Foundation will concentrate on one watershed that contains over 15 streams, Cross said. Some of the streams are hot and some are cold, but their water chemistry is almost identical. The streams are heated indirectly by geothermal activity and have likely been at these temperatures for hundreds of years.
"This site represents an unparalleled opportunity to test hypotheses regarding ecosystem-level responses to climate warming," Cross said.
Cathy Whitlock, director of MSU's Interdisciplinary Environmental Initiatives, said Iceland offers Cross the chance to conduct natural experiments in an "unperturbed, pristine system. Lessons that he learns there are broadly applicable to watersheds in this region (of the United States)."
She added that studies like Cross's are pivotal to the mission of MSU's Institute of the Environment, which is in the planning stages. Environmental sciences is a major strength for MSU, and the institute, when established, will bring together faculty and students from across campus to study issues of regional concern -- climate change, water, ecosystem dynamics, and sustainability. Cross said he hopes to extend his research and collaborate with others to include streams in the northern Rockies that are highly vulnerable to future warming.
Iceland is possibly the most geothermally active country in the world, Cross said. An island just south of the Arctic Circle and east of Greenland, Iceland sits over two continental plates that are slowly drifting apart. Hot pools are everywhere, and volcanic activity is common. The country drew widespread attention last spring when a glacier-covered volcano erupted and spewed ash across Scandinavia and western Europe.
"Much of the Earth is getting warmer and more climatically variable, especially at northern latitudes," Cross continued. "Understanding the response of streams to warming is important because these responses will largely determine what will happen to the valuable ecosystem services provided by streams and rivers that we use every day and often take for granted."
Some of those services include purifying water, detoxifying waste and recycling nutrients, Cross said.
Cross's team started its fieldwork this summer, a time when daylight lasts 20 hours a day and temperatures reach the low 60s. The researchers are collecting preliminary data from the Hengill area, which is about a 30-minute drive from the capital city of Reykjavik.
Scientists have shown that water temperatures vary widely from stream to stream in their study area, Cross said. One stream, for example, is 46 F, while a stream a few feet away is almost 30 degrees warmer.
Cross's team plans to take advantage of this natural temperature gradient to understand how warming affects "food webs," or communities of organisms that live in the streams, as well as key ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling and stream metabolism (the production and consumption of oxygen).
The researchers are also interested to see what happens when they experimentally add slightly warmer water to these streams, Cross said. They are currently gearing up for a three-year temperature manipulation of a whole stream ecosystem.
"The beauty of this natural laboratory is that there are streams with strongly contrasting temperatures just a few meters apart," Cross said.
To warm the stream, the researchers plan to pipe water from a cold stream over to a warm stream. The warm stream will hold a large container that constantly fills and drains with warm water. The cold water will flow through a coiled pipe that sits in the container. When the cold water warms up nine degrees Fahrenheit, it will be piped back to the cold stream.
"Because temperature is the fundamental driver of nearly all biological processes, climate warming is likely to have significant impacts on the structure and function of freshwater ecosystems," Cross said.
Cross's team from MSU will include at least two doctoral students, one master's degree student and a postdoctoral researcher. Other collaborators are at the University of Alabama, the University of Iceland in Reykjavik and the Institute of Freshwater Fisheries in Reykjavik.
The postdoctoral researcher from MSU will live in Iceland year-round, Cross said. Cross and his MSU graduate students will travel periodically to Iceland, probably totaling two months a year there.
One of those graduate students -- Jim Junker, in ecology -- said he will start working in Iceland this fall after finishing his master's degree requirements at MSU. Although his master's degree focuses on willow trees in Yellowstone National Park, he expects to see some overlap with his doctoral work in Iceland.
"I will be using many of the tools from my Yellowstone work, but the context of the questions will be different," Junker said. "My master's work has been very helpful for me to develop a base of knowledge and a mind set for the questions of interest on the Iceland project."
Cross said Iceland is similar to Yellowstone National Park in that both are hot spots for geothermal activity. Yellowstone is different, however, because most of the water that gushes from its geysers contains dissolved chemicals that change the chemistry of the streams. The water chemistry in Yellowstone streams -- unlike the water chemistry in Iceland - varies widely between streams and within streams.
Junker said he is excited about working in Iceland. The adventures he expects include learning a new language, living near volcanoes, being surrounded by a new culture and experiencing 20 hours of daylight ("which doesn't worry me a much as 20 hours of night," he said). The research, itself, is enticing.
"The possibilities and questions to be answered are all very interesting, as well as topical and relevant," Junker said. "I am excited about the seemingly limitless amount of work that can be done and am very intrigued by where the project will be in a few years.
"The opportunity to do awesome science in such a mystical and amazing location doesn't come around every day," Junker said.

Jon Huntsman: Interviews with Journalist James Fallows and Historian Andrew JohnsNews at Home
Alexander Heffner, a freelance journalist, conducted and curated interviews with leading academics on the top GOP hopefuls. They will appear as part of an ongoing series on HNN.
James Fallows is chair in U.S. media at the University of Sydney and national correspondent for The Atlantic.
Governor Jon Huntsman has more experience with/knowledge of China than any previous presidential candidate, true? Doesn't this give him the edge on domestic and foreign policy, given China's economic impact on the United States and the entire globe?
I'm not sure how Jon Huntsman's experience compares in the entirety of U.S. history. The first president George Bush, after all, had opened the U.S. "interest office" in China in the mid-1970s, at the dawn of normalized relations between the countries. Herbert Hoover had actually lived and worked in China for some time, as an engineer (and had some command of Mandarin).
But certainly among the current candidates, Jon Huntsman clearly has the most extensive overseas experience, by far—and not just with China. Whether or not this "gives him an edge" depends entirely on the judgment of the voters, starting in the Republican primary.
What do you think China-U.S. affairs/relations would look like under a President Huntsman who has lived in Asia multiple times?
To me the most striking aspect of U.S.-China relations in the modern era, from the Nixon administration through the Obama years, is their relative stability. The leaders of both countries have consistently felt that they had an interest in treating the other as a potential partner rather than as a certain enemy. On the other hand, deep disagreements remain. I expect that this would continue under a President Huntsman—or practically any president who takes office in 2013.
Should Huntsman's fluency with the Chinese tongue (Mandarin, etc.) and appreciation of the culture be important to voters?
What "should" and should not be important to voters is something just impossible to say. It is entirely up to each of the tens of millions of voters.
Might we need a negotiator like Huntsman in these perilous global economic times?
Effective negotiators are always very important in a country's array of strength. But again the question for Huntsman's critics will be: if we need those skills, do we need them in the president? (Versus the other traits a president has.) Or can a president hire or lead a team of people with those skills. It's like the argument about military experience or scientific or business expertise. An effective administration requires all those skills, but no single president can possibly have them all. So voters judge which traits they want in the president himself or herself, and which others can be part of the team.
Andrew Johns is Associate Professor of History at Brigham Young University and author of Vietnam's Second Front.
Governor Jon Huntsman has more experience with/knowledge of China than any previous presidential candidate, true? Doesn't this give him the edge on domestic and foreign policy, given China's economic impact on the United States and the entire globe?
I would suggest that George H.W. Bush, who served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations; as the U.S. envoy to the People's Republic of China for 14 months (acting unofficially as ambassador despite the lack of diplomatic relations between the United States and the PRC); and then as Director of Central Intelligence could boast at least comparable familiarity and expertise with the PRC as Huntsman. To be sure, Huntsman's fluency in Mandarin and experience living in China gives him a unique perspective. But I am not convinced that it makes him a better candidate for the GOP nomination than anyone else—China is undoubtedly important, but there are other critical domestic and foreign policy issues on which he is no better (and on several much less) qualified than the other leading candidates.
What do you think China-U.S. affairs/relations would look like under a President Huntsman who has lived in Asia multiple times?
Although I highly doubt Huntsman could or will secure the GOP nomination, I would imagine that Sino-American relations would be fairly similar under a notional President Huntsman as under any Republican chief executive. No matter one's experience, the president is surrounded by experts on the country and is constrained by U.S. national interests and other factors.
Should Huntsman's fluency with the Chinese tongue (Mandarin, etc.) and appreciation of the culture be important to voters?
It certainly could be a consideration if all other things were equal, but is likely not to be a deciding factor in voting for the GOP or national electorate.
Does Huntsman, a former ambassador, remind you of any past figures in America's diplomatic core?
If you are referring to previous chief executives, numerous presidents have had extensive diplomatic experience prior to their administrations. I would not blow Huntsman's two years as ambassador to China out of proportion, however. He reminds me quite a lot of former U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. Lodge had presidential ambitions as well, but could not translate his diplomatic service into electoral success (despite having previously served as a U.S. senator from Massachusetts and as Nixon's vice-presidential candidate in 1960).
Might we need a negotiator like Huntsman in these perilous global economic times?
I could certainly envision a scenario under which a GOP president after 2012 would use Huntsman in such negotiations.

Hugh Jackman told the Press Association, via The Huffington Post, that producers were interested in him for the coveted role, but he went the mutant route instead. "I got a call from my agent saying, 'There is some possible interest in you for Bond, are you interested?'" Hugh Jackman told the Press Association. "At the time I wasn't. I was about to shoot 'X-Men 2' and Wolverine had become this thing in my life and I didn't want to be doing two such iconic characters at once." Roll Call loves Daniel Craig as Bond, but we wouldn't have minded Hugh either… can he be 008?

[meteorite-list] Is Eros An Ancient Planetesimal Leftover From Sol's Birth

Is Eros An Ancient Planetesimal Leftover From Sol's Birth
March 5, 2001
When NASA's Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft left for
asteroid 433 Eros five years ago, scientists weren't certain what they would
find when the probe arrived. Was Eros a 30-km fragment from a planet that
broke apart billions of years ago? Or perhaps a jumble of space boulders
barely held together by gravity? Was Eros young or old, tough or fragile ...
no one knew for sure.
But now, after a year in orbit and a daring landing on the asteroid itself,
NEAR Shoemaker has beamed back data that could confirm what many scientists
have lately come to believe: Asteroid Eros is not a piece of some long-dead
planet or a loose collection of space debris. Instead, it's a relic from the
dawn of our solar system, one of the original building blocks of planets
that astronomers call "planetesimals."
As NEAR Shoemaker was heading for its historic landing on Feb. 12, 2001,
team members hoped the spacecraft --which was designed to orbit, not land--
would simply survive. When it did survive, they set their sights a little
higher. From its perch on the surface of the asteroid, NEAR's gamma-ray
spectrometer can detect key chemical signatures of a planetesimal -- data
that scientists are anxious to retrieve.
"The gamma-ray instrument is more sensitive on the ground than it was in
orbit," says Goddard's Jack Trombka, team leader for the GRS. "And the
longer we can accumulate data the better." NASA recently gave the go-ahead
for NEAR's mission to continue through Feb. 28th, tacking four days onto an
extension granted just after the spacecraft landed.
To do its work the GRS relies partly on cosmic rays, high-energy particles
accelerated by distant supernova explosions. When cosmic rays hit Eros, they
make the asteroid glow, although it's not a glow you can see with your eyes;
the asteroid shines with gamma-rays.
"Cosmic rays shatter atomic nuclei in the asteroid's soil," explains
Trombka. Neutrons that fly away from the cosmic ray impact sites hit other
atoms in turn. "These secondary neutrons can excite atomic nuclei (by
inelastic scattering) without breaking them apart." Such excited atoms emit
gamma-rays that the GRS can decipher to reveal which elements are present.
"We can detect cosmic-ray excited oxygen, iron and silicon, along with the
naturally radioactive elements potassium, thorium and uranium," says
Trombka. Measuring the abundances of these substances is an important test
of the planetesimal hypothesis.
Planetesimals came to be when the solar system was just a swirling
interstellar cloud, slowly collapsing to form the Sun and planets. Dust
grains condensed within that primeval gas.
The grains were small, but by hitting and sticking together they formed
pebble-sized objects that fell into the plane of the rotating nebula. The
pebbles accumulated into boulders, which in turn became larger bodies, 1 to
100 km wide. These were planetesimals -- the fundamental building blocks of
the planets.
For reasons unknown Eros was never captured by a growing protoplanet. It
remained a planetesimal even as other worlds in the solar system grew and
Dust grains are accumulating into asteroid-sized planetesimals, the building
blocks of planets.
Fully-developed planets like Earth are chemically segregated -- that is,
they have heavier elements near their cores and lighter ones at the surface.
Planetary scientists call this "differentiation." If Eros were a chip from a
planet that broke apart, perhaps in the asteroid belt, it would exhibit
chemical signatures corresponding to some layer from a differentiated world.
For example, Eros might be iron-rich if it came from the core of such a
planet or silicon-rich if it came from the crust.
Instead, "orbital data from the x-ray spectrometer (a low-energy cousin of
the GRS) showed Eros is very much like a type of undifferentiated meteorite
we find on Earth called ordinary chondrites," says Andrew Cheng, the NEAR
project scientist at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory
(APL), which manages the mission for NASA.
Eros seems to harbor a mixture of elements that you would only find in a
solar system body unaltered by melting (an unavoidable step in the process
of forming rocky planets). But, says Cheng, there is a possible discrepancy.
"The abundance of the element sulfur on Eros is less than we would expect
from an ordinary chondrite. However, the x-ray spectra tell us only about
the uppermost hundred microns of the surface, and we do not know if the
sulfur depletion occurs only in a thin surface layer or throughout the bulk
of the asteroid."
The GRS can go deeper, as much as 10 cm below the surface. Although the
instrument can't detect sulfur, it is sensitive to gamma-ray emissions from
other elements such as radioactive potassium that are indicators of melting.
Like sulfur, potassium is a volatile element -- it easily evaporates when a
rock is heated. Finding plenty of potassium would strengthen the conclusion
that Eros is an unmelted and primitive body.
On the other hand, a widespread dearth of "volatiles" would hint that Eros
isn't so primitive after all.
It might sound like an ivory-tower question, but knowing the makeup of this
asteroid -- both its internal structure and its chemical composition-- has a
practical application.
The solar system is littered with space rocks more or less like Eros, and
many come uncomfortably close to Earth. One day we may need to blow one
apart (or deflect one without blowing it apart) to avoid an unpleasant
Near-Earth asteroids are also potential mining resources as humans expand
into space. In either case, knowing more about them is a good idea!
"Our first four data sets are here and they look great," says Jack Trombka.
"John Goldsten, the lead engineer for the gamma-ray spectrometer at the
Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, has done a fabulous job making the
instrument work on the surface, which is a different environment than orbit.
"We're just hoping to get as much data as we can before the mission ends."

"I much rather would have had no tape at all and them not have Braxton Miller. We would have been better off," Dantonio told SiriusXM's Jack Arute and Gino Torretta on Wednesday.
Dantonio was responding to reports the Buckeyes and coach Urban Meyer did not initially exchange full game film.
Some of Ohio State's presnap shifts and motions were edited out.
"They cut the film off pretty early, but we knew what they were doing for the most part," linebacker Max Bullough told MLive.com.
On the Big Ten's weekly conference call Tuesday, Meyer said he had "moved on." Dantonio said today it didn't play a role in the Spartans' 17-16 loss.
"It had no impact on the game. There was no impact on the game with those tapes," Dantonio said. "We got things squared away, everything's fine in that aspect."
Nebraska, Ohio State's next opponent, appears to be taking matters into its own hands. The Cornhuskers contacted Central Florida, which lost to the Buckeyes in the second week of the season, for its Ohio State film.

Last spring, the world's bigger miners forced Asian customers to make a dramatic switch, abandoning a 40-year tradition of annual price contracts in favour of three-month agreements.
The buyers feared the new arrangement would drive up prices. The miners hoped it would. So far, they've both been wrong.
Prices for coal and iron ore, two key ingredients in steelmaking, have fallen by up to one third on the spot market, pulled down by a slowing global economy and an oversupply of steel that has resulted in production cuts in China, the world's largest steel producer.
Slumping prices will probably mean lower prices for the next round of quarterly contracts, terms of which are now under negotiation.
Depending on how low prices go, and for how long, miners may wish they had stuck to the old, more stable contract system.
"All we know for sure is that the dynamics of the Chinese steel market will be increasingly influential in determining pricing, and revenues for the miners will inevitably be more volatile than under the old annual benchmark system," Goldman Sachs said in a recent report. "Welcome to the brave new world of index linked pricing!"
After months of lobbying by BHP Billiton, Vale SA and Rio Tinto, as well as Canada's Teck Resources Ltd., the new system of quarterly price contracts started in the second quarter of this year, in what is traditionally the start of the fiscal year for coal and iron ore producers. The prices for each quarter are negotiated ahead of time, based upon current market conditions.
For the April-June contract period, metallurgical coal, used in steelmaking, was locked in at around $200 (U.S.) per tonne. That price rose to around $225 in the July-September quarter, thanks to spot prices that rose to about $260 in April. Since then, prices have fallen to about $210 per tonne.
Iron ore prices have also dropped to about $122 per tonne, after peaking at $185 per tonne in April.
"With spot iron ore trading at a discount of over 20 per cent to the implied third-quarter contract price, the new quarterly pricing mechanism is clearly under duress," Goldman Sachs said, calling the new quarterly average index system "cumbersome."
It is unlikely mining companies will revert back to annual contracts. Many analysts speculate that the next move will be to monthly contracts, and more buying on the spot market.
The rate of increase in steel production has been slowing in the past few months as China's economy cools, Europe works through its debt troubles and growth stutters in the United States.
Global steel production was up 18 per cent in June compared to a year earlier, but much slower than the 28 per cent growth seen in the first six months of the year, according to the World Steel Association.
Global steel production fell almost 5 per cent in June compared to the month before, with Chinese production falling 4.2 per cent.
South Korean steelmaker Posco recently cited high coal inventories and a drop in China's domestic coal price as factors behind falling spot prices. Meantime, BHP, the world's largest mining company, cautioned that reduced commodities consumption by China is going to dampens the outlook for iron ore.
"Within China, measures introduced to reduce growth to more sustainable levels means volatility in commodity end-demand is likely to persist," BHP said in its latest production report.
China is already reported to have cut back production at some of its steel plants, with more cuts coming.
"This implies downward pressure on the already correcting spot iron ore and metallurgical coal markets throughout the summer," BMO Nesbitt Burns said in a recent note.
Still, many analysts are predicting a turnaround later this year as inventories adjust.

Step 2: Make a Schedule
Summer weather is beautiful, but it's also hot. Unless you want to do a Bikram bootcamp, pick a time that's in the morning or evening when it's cooler. Exercising when you're hot is hard—and can also be dangerous to your health. Make sure to stay properly hydrated and to listen to your body to avoid overheating.
It also helps to pick a regular time to workout so that it's in your schedule. Picking a schedule will help you and your buddies create a plan and then stick to it.

Step 3: Scout a Location
Parks make awesome outdoor gyms. Playgrounds are great spots for outdoor workouts. Use the bars and steps as to get a full-body workout.
Hills and stairs also make great fitness obstacles for outdoor training.
Step 4: Find Inspiration
Many workouts you find in magazines or online can be adapted for use outdoors.
You can also do a "round robin" and take turns as the drill sergeant suggesting an exercise for 30 to 60 second blocks to create a circuit. Just remember to alternate body parts (legs, arms, abs...).

When chaos threatens to bring traffic in the plains to a stand-still, General de Gaulle once famously remarked, set your eyes on the mountain peak: you have no traffic jams there.
Chaos is the hall-mark of the political landscape in India today. Clarity is to be found – other than in the Supreme Court, which continues to perform a yeoman service in the defence of the letter and spirit of the Constitution – at Rashtrapati Bhavan, the apex of the republic. It is the President Pranab Mukherjee who our citizens now consider to be the repository of constitutional rectitude.
He may not be endowed with the folksy charm of an Abdul Kalam who endeared himself to the nation, and especially to its youth. But he is also a far cry from those whose tenure in Rashtrapati Bhavan was either listless – one thinks of V.V. Giri, R. Venkataraman and Pratibha Patil – or frankly odious. Heading the list in the latter category are Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed – who signed Indira Gandhi's emergency ordinance in 1975 on the dotted line – and Giani Zail Singh who failed the republic twice: the first time after Indira Gandhi's assassination, when he asked not the senior-most member of her government (Pranab Mukerjee) to act as interim prime minister (as was the established practice until then) but had Rajiv Gandhi sworn in instead; and a second time when he engaged in a dark, but mercifully aborted, conspiracy to dismiss the young prime minister.
The current president however is made of sterner stuff. He can be trusted not to follow either of the two paths of his predecessors in office. He won't be a rubber-stamp president; nor would he deviate an inch from his responsibilities – to 'preserve, protect and defend the Constitution' – to engage in any sort of adventurism. Nothing illustrates this better than his conduct in the recent controversy about the ordinance on tainted members of state assemblies and parliament. He summoned senior ministers in the government to explain why they needed an ordinance in the first place when the matter had yet to run its course in the House. And he gave a patient hearing to a number of political leaders who had serious reservations about the government's move.
During these deliberations, it was widely believed, President Mukherjee made known to the ministers his discomfort with the ordinance. Whether they got the hint or not cannot be fully ascertained. But the one who was quick to act on it – though in an impetuous manner – was Rahul Gandhi. The opposition rapped the scion of the ruling dynasty on the knuckles for undermining the authority of the Prime Minister, of the Union Cabinet and of the Congress party's 'core group' headed by his own mother: all of them had cleared the ordinance.
To drive home its antipathy for the Gandhis further, the opposition heaped praise on the President who, as BJP patriarch L.K. Advani rushed to declare, had in fact scuttled the ordinance. Such flattery however was like water on a duck's back. True to his understanding of his responsibilities as the titular head of the state, the President went on record to state that he had "nothing to do" with the withdrawal of the ordinance and that the BJP's remarks on his role was nothing more than "speculation of individuals." The withdrawal, he went on to add, was the prerogative of the Union Cabinet.
In his interaction with the media aboard the aircraft that was flying him from Belgium to Turkey, the president also neatly deflected queries about the economy by stressing that these could only be answered by the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister. And he described as "nothing new" his sharp comments on the terror infrastructure in Pakistan. This interaction confirms to the tee Pranab Mukherjee's astute political sense developed over four-and-a half decades of shouldering several ministerial, parliamentary and party responsibilities.
In every instance, he brought into play his time-tested qualities of head and heart: erudition lightly borne, experience assumed but never flaunted, downplaying his own contribution to the singularly significant achievements of Congress-led governments (improvement of ties with America, Russia and ASEAN, initiation of economic reforms, streamlining taxation, pruning government expenditure, expanding the social welfare network etc) and, not least, his ability to reach out to political adversaries.
Though he was overlooked twice for the prime minister's post – once after Rajiv Gandhi's assassination (when he floated his own political outfit before swiftly returning to the parent body) and after the Congress victory in 2004 (when Sonia Gandhi chose Manmohan Singh who Pranab Mukherjee had appointed as RBI governor in his incarnation as finance minister in the early 1980s) he remained steadfastly loyal to the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty. But as soon as he was elevated to Rashtrapati Bhavan he played his part as a non-partisan head of state to perfection. He won't allow any traffic jam there. As for the likely traffic jam on the political landscape after the general elections – who knows? He might well be called upon, as the republic's foremost gendarme, to clear that as well. That should be a cause of worry to wannabe prime ministers.

Stuart Holden has struggled for playing time at Bolton since returning from injury, but the Trotters are prepared to set Holden up with a move that could help him get back on the field.
The Bolton News is reporting that Bolton is preparing to send Holden on a short-term loan move to Sheffield Wednesday. (UPDATE: Bolton have confirmed the loan deal on their Twitter account, with the loan lasting through April 24. "This is the best move for Stuart. We had a good chat and I informed him that we want him with us next season," manager Dougie Freedman said on Bolton's Twitter account.)
Holden hasn't played in a month for Bolton, and a move to Sheffield Wednesday could allow him get playing time in the middle of a race to avoid relegation. Sheffield Wednesday is currently a point out of the relegation zone in the English League Championship.
Holden is in the final year of his deal with Bolton, and is reportedly in contract talks with the Trotters.
What do you think of this potential move?

Purchasing Card - Step 4
When a cardholder places an order with a supplier using the purchasing card, the transaction is charged to a temporary holding account (called a default account) associated with the cardholder's School/Center department or office. Therefore, transactions must be distributed to the correct account according to the business purpose (grant, project, etc.) given by the cardholder in Step 2. At the end of each week, the reallocator changes the charge from the purchase default account to the correct charge account (i.e.: changes the fund object code, CREF, etc.) via BEN Financials.

Kurt Angle Accuses WWE Of 'Lifting' Ideas From TNA
By Ryan Clark on October 30, 2012
TNA's Kurt Angle posted the following on Twitter last night, accusing WWE of "lifting" ideas from TNA…
"Staged 'affair' between A.J. Lee & @JohnCena, w/date pic & hotel video? WWE outright lifting TNA concepts?"
He later deleted the posts.
Posted in: TNA News

Lol it doesn't count if ppl dnt watch tna
lol exactly. more ppl saw the cena/aj thing then all of the styles/lynch thing combined. at least wwe didnt hire a random horrible fuckin actress that had nothing to do with wrestling.
Cena's ex wife accused him of having an affair or so did the rumors in the dirtsheets proclaim this is the WWE creating a storyline similar to the Matt Hardy/Edge/Lita storyline..Kurt Angle is just a clueless drunk that should learn to stay away from the social media while intoxicated..deleting tweets what a cowardly act
There's no denying it. You WWE marks can say what you want, but WWE blatantly ripped off TNA. Everything was exactly identical to the amateur footage of Dixie Carter at the hotel with AJ Styles.
Meh, TNA has been ganking from WWE for years so the way I see it, this is WWE's one to TNA's 10,000.
It was not exactly the same. Theres no "fake pregnant crackhead" in this
one. The video of styles n dixie showed styles pulling in dixie
seductively into a hotel room. This has aj following cena normally into
an elevator. They tried to make it seem like styles was fuckin dixie in
their clip. cena n aj's video has none of that
Big deal, that is what rivals do and that is copying off each other. Hasn't TNA been lifting ideas from WWE for years or does that not count since they are still the little guy trying to get as big as WWE?
they have taken ideas from WCW.. not WWE.. get your shit straight idiot.
So what? Companies copy off each other in some form and copy off companies that are no longer around. All I asked was a question yet you try to insult me, why? I feel sorry for you calling me an idiot cause well the internet gives people the opportunity to be pricks for no reason rather then simply correcting someone's question or opinion. Go out and get laid or something you feel better.
Haha so true what 'meeeee' said. I actually smiled and laughed when I read that. Anyway, WWE are even scared to run the Survivor Series PPV with the amount of 'faction' storylines tna have coughed up, so maybe this balances the universe somewhat…
WWE Steals idea from WCW, WWF (Their former self) and TNA… but wwe sheeps will never accept it.
the wwf and the wwe are the same thing ok vince owned wwf wwe and wcw so theyre allowed to take old ideas. and not only has tna been stealing ideas from wwe for years, tna has been stealing old washed up wrestlers from wwe too. tna is the worst offender in stealing ideas
WWE fans are sheep and will defend it to the death
I'm a WWE fan and I"m not defending it to death. Mind you you wil get some fans who are like some religious believers like batshit crazy who will defend it to the death and make the majority look bad. I bet some TNA fans are like that too along with the fan base of other wrestling companies.
I don't care as long is it turns out good. I watch TNA and love it, WWE on the other hand, I just can't watch it anymore. I actually tried to watch RAW a few weeks ago, and I saw Kane, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk and a few others jumping up and down in the ring arguing like a bunch of kids. It quickly reminded me why I stopped watching. Anyway, they rip off of each other all the time, neither company is perfect so I don't see the big deal.
pot calling kettle black comes to mind.
I'm sure the mid-carder biker gang gimmick has never been done either.
Nice 3 man Announce Team this week TNA. They have a horrible fake michael cole now lol

Mitt Romney again distanced himself from his infamous 47 percent comments caught on video at a private fundraiser in May, telling CNN in an interview Tuesday night that, "the words that came out were not what I meant."
Mitt Romney CNN Interview: The 47% Comment Is 'Not What I Meant'

The words were exactly what Romney meant.
Romney also said he could have stated things more elegantly or artful. But actually, what Romney said was stated quite clearly and confidently. He didn't stumble or misspeak. He said it just fine. The problem? He got caught.

Pay no attention to anything I've said before. Only listen to what I'm saying right now.
And in a couple of days, forget everything again 'cause I'll have a whole new story.

Nov. 29, 2008
Minneapolis, Minn. - The Michigan State hockey team skated to a 4-4 tie with top-ranked Minnesota on Saturday evening in the annual College Hockey Showcase. Daultan Leveille had a pair of goals for the Spartans, while classmate Drew Palmisano made 22 saves. MSU snaps a streak of seven straight losses, and is now 4-9-3 on the season.
It wasn't a victory, but a game perhaps from which the Spartans could feel some positive momentum. MSU looked like a team refreshed - they generated offensive chances and generated shots on goal from the opening drop of the puck. Michigan State took a 2-0 lead with a pair of tallies just over a minute apart midway through the opening period. A Leveille power-play goal at 10:44 got things going with the Spartans on an extended man-advantage thanks to a major penalty drawn by Gopher captain Ryan Stoa. Tim Crowder had the puck behind the goal line in the right corner, and fed his freshman centerman in front of the net. Leveille twice shot and collected his own rebound, but put this third attempt behind Alex Kangas.
Just over a minute later, the Spartans padded their lead to 2-0 with a goal from senior Dan Sturges. Corey Tropp was carrying the puck into the offensive zone and got tied up with a defender, and sent the puck across the high slot with a swipe from his backside. The pass went right onto the stick of Sturges, who lifted the puck over the glove-hand of Kangas.
The Gophers got on the board with a shorthanded tally at 15:30. With Cade Fairchild in the box for high sticking, the Gophers had a rush with seconds remaining in the man advantage; Tony Lucia carried the puck up the left side and made a cross-slot pass to Justun Bostrom on the right side. Bostrom beat Palmisano five-hole for his second goal of the season. That sent the Gophers into the locker room trailing 2-1 at the first intermission.
The home team tied the game at 6:14 of the second. Mike Hoeffel's pass from the left half-wall through traffic was tipped en route by Joe Miller for the freshman winger's first goal of the season.
The Spartans went back on top with another from Leveille at 7:55. The play originated at the right point, when Jeff Petry corralled the puck and dropped it back to Tim Crowder at the point, who unleashed a slapshot netward. Crowder's shot went off Leveille in front and past Kangas.
Less than a minute later, MSU struck again, with the play again originating from the right point - Ryan Turek fired the puck off the back boards to the left of Kangas. Tropp collected it and fed it in front for Andrew Rowe, who deposited his fourth of the season. A four-on-one rush again cut the MSU lead to one, as Nick Larson scored his first of the season at 15:11 of the second period to bring the Gophers closer, trailing 4-3 after two periods.
A tripping call against Sturges at 5:57 of the third period put the Gophers on the power play for the first time on the night, and it took less than 30 seconds for Minnesota to tie the game. Patrick White, stationed at the bottom of the left circle, took a pass and one-timed it past Palmisano for his first of the season, and the game-tying goal.
Michigan State returns to action next weekend when it engages in a home-and-home series with archrival Michigan. The teams face off on Friday in Ann Arbor, then on Saturday in East Lansing. Saturday's contest will feature Chuck-a-Puck as a fundraiser for the Spartans "Shoot for a Cure" initiative, which benefits Cure Kids Cancer at Sparrow Hospital.
NOTES: MSU and Minnesota skated to a tie for the third straight season in this event. The two previous scores were 2-2 (2007) and 3-3 (2008) ... Michigan State went to overtime for the third time this season, and for the first time since Nov. 1. Both previous games also ended in ties, but the Spartans won the shootouts, now employed in CCHA games this season ... The Spartans scored a season-high in goals, the previous high of three coming most recently in a 3-1 win over Western Michigan on Oct. 31 ... Michigan State took a 2-1 lead into the first intermission, the first Spartan lead at a break since the Western Michigan game on Oct. 31 ... Dan Sturges' first-period goal was his first since Dec.29, 2006 against Harvard at the Great Lakes Invitational ... Leveille's goals were his first scores since a two-goal outing against Western Michigan on Halloween. That was also the last contest in which the Spartans scored more than once in a game ... Ryan Stoa was assessed a 5-minute major and game misconduct for hitting from behind six minutes into the game for his hit on Spartan winger Andrew Conboy. Conboy left the game, but returned later in the period....

|agreed the traverse is slick, but getting out from under the roof was even harder.

|i think this route feels safer to lead than to follow. very slippery feet on traverse and also hard to read. and did i mention reachy. this is one of those routes i love but wonder why. hint, don't place any cams in the leftmost pockets. you need it for your hand.
