RAFAEL BEJARANO, DOINGHARDTIMEAGAIN, Winner: "I had a good trip. They went a little slow the first part and I was hoping they would pick it up down the backstretch. Nobody was really making a move by the half mile so I decided to make a little move to put some pressure on. I really thought (Sweet Marini) should have beaten me because she was going so slow. But my filly is a real professional. I'm just glad I moved when I did.''
EDWIN MALDONADO, UNUSUAL WAY, Third: "My filly's best races have been when she's in front. We were in a good position, but we were going too slow and that put us at a disadvantage. Everything worked out best for the winner."
Trainer Quotes
JERRY HOLLENDORFER, DOINGHARDTIMEAGAIN, Winner: "Very nice effort. She was placed in a nice spot and was able to close down on (Sweet Marini). We had a good trip, we got lucky and won it. At this point, I don't know what her best distance is. It looks like she can run any distance. We'll look at some options and go from there."
MIKE MARLOW (Asst. trainer Bob Baffert), SWEET MARINI, Second: "I thought she ran well. She's got a nice future. First time going long today she probably just got beat by a better horse. Her last race was a disaster, but I was really happy with her race today. (Jockey) Joe (Talamo) did a great job. A lot of times when horses come up to you on the turn, a lot of horses don't respond like she did. He asked her and she was right there. I liked that."

Did you know April is National Poetry Month? Poetry is an expressive form of literature that allows students to be creative through purposively expressing their thoughts on paper, which allows emotional growth, literary and verbal advancement, and an understanding of how words are used to tell a story. Here are just a few of the benefits poetry can offer when introduced in early literacy:
- Teaches the sounds of letters
- Offers the beginnings of phonics
- Enriches vocabulary
- Introduces storytelling
- Increases understanding of syllables
- Provides creative outlet
To help you integrate poetry into your child's day, here are three ways to bolster early literacy at home.
1. Read out loud.
Just by listening as you read different poems, children will learn to recognize the different sounds of words. This is a fun way for children to appreciate poetry as a storytelling form and learn the sounds of letters as they listen to rhymes and word play.
Here are a few places you can find free poems to read to your toddlers:
- http://www.poetry4kids.com/poems
- http://www.gryphonhouse.com/activities/index.asp?CatID=5
- http://www.storyit.com/Classics/JustPoems/classicpoems.htm
- http://www.gigglepoetry.com
2. Have your own poetry bookshelf.
Keeping poetry within reach of your little ones on topics they are most interested in is a great way to make learning accessible at home. Here are some of our suggestions on books to include:
Recommended Poetry Books for Early Literacy:
- Goodnight Moon
- Kids Poems: 3rd and 4th Grade
- Grandpa's Garden
- Now We Are Six
- Perfect Poems for Teaching Sight Words
3. Have kids start an Inspiration Scrapbook.
Help kids avoid word block when they try to write poems. As words are everywhere, have children cut out all of those inspiring words and stick them into their scrapbook for safekeeping!
- inexpensive scrapbook
- scissors
- glue, tape, or glue stick
- pens, markers, crayons, or pencils
- Inspiring words! (magazines, greeting cards, coasters, photos, etc.)
What to Do:
Simply get started! The project extends over as long of a time as you would like.
- Find words that make your child curious, or make them laugh, or maybe even new words they want to add to their vocabulary!
- Cut out the word or photo and glue or tape it to a page in the scrapbook.
- Organize the scrapbook, grouping the inspiration in whatever way makes most sense.
- Make it personal. Have your little one add stickers, words, or pictures that they feel goes along with their inspiration. They will end up being little pieces to add to their poetry in the future.
- Write a poem. Open up the Inspirational Scrapbook when your child needs inspiration for a poem. Have them translate the pictures into words, and turn their fun words into exciting sentences! Show them how to combine the words and thoughts into a poem!
-Continue to add to the Inspiration Scrapbook whenever inspiration strikes and have it on hand when writing time rolls around. Kids will be excited to look back over the pictures and words.

text: I can't even keep track of all the 90s revivals coming back — between overalls, crop tops, and fugly shoes you'd think it's 1998 up in here. But thankfully designers have refined these trends (not so much the fugly shoes though) and hopefully we won't look back on 2014 ten years from now in disgust. However, there's one 90s trend resurfacing you can rock in any decade without looking outdated — that, my friends, is the choker necklace.

The Koalition writes: "Obviously iOS development cannot adopt every aspect of PC gaming. Unlike PC gaming, we can't simply put more RAM or a new graphics card into our phones. And considering Apple is bent on rapidly releasing more and more powerful devices, many gamers will have to wait until they can upgrade. And maybe my idea of designing app-store games with graphical settings won't work across the board (we're not game designers); however, we hate the idea of some mobile gamers being able to miss out on excellent games like the popular Infinity Blade, or in this case, the newly released The Spookening just because technology won't stop imitating Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights."
Who cares its a mobile phone. Anybody who uses it as their primary gaming doesnt really care about it.
yes ACTUALLY MANY NEW games are using the setup option for graphics
Who cares? It's still a garbage mobile game.
I use my nexus 7 for work...why would I waste time playing junky, f2p cash shop games when I can come home to a massive screen, all the consoles, and a beast ass computer?
I have yet to see anything worth my time (final fantasy tactics on my ipad was ok before I got rid of the ipad) and doubt I will. Sure, bejeweled is alright, but I want real games like far cry, injustice, etc. Due to the controls, the marketing, the cheese and sub indie quality programming - forget it. They feel like roadside scam carnival games compared to the real thing.
Forget it.

Come Party With Me: Super Bowl Party - Decorations
It's the week before the big game and I'm obsessing so much about the Super Bowl you'd think that I was a member of the Chicago Bear's non-existent cheerleading team. I am hosting a fantastic fiesta to watch the commercials. Oops, did I just say commercials? I meant to say football game. Even if I'm not a crazy die hard football fan (if you are - more power to you!) throwing a watching party will allow me to enjoy the show and when bored I'll busy myself by blending up another batch of margaritas. When planning an epic party of these proportions there are many factors to consider: the invitations should evoke the football-y feel, the menu chock full of stadium food, and the drinks pack an extra punch of game day goodness. Not to be forgotten are the decorations: just because the party revolves around a big screen television doesn't mean that you can't have a fabulous time decorating your house in bright blue and outrageous orange. To see how I'll change the decor of my house from everyday to game day,
Start with your screening room (aka whatever room has the largest television in your house) and make sure there is enough seating for all of your guests to sit comfortably. Add pillows, cushions, fold out chairs or chairs from other rooms of your house if you have to. The television is the focal point so make it so by clearing out the area around it for clutter free viewing. If you have a bear or colt stuffed animal place it on the sofa to act as team mascot. Set up a strand of cheap football lights around the windowsill or along the entryway into the room.
If you know that all of your friends will be decked out in their Chicago Bear wear-yourself included-make blue and orange the underlying tone of the decorations. Pick up a roll each of blue and orange streamers at the local party supply store. Be sure to check out the selection of Super Bowl related stuff because party stores always have a lot of fun theme supplies to make your bash especially memorable. Twist the streamers and arrange decoratively throughout the room and wrap around banisters. If your friends are a mix of Bears and Colts fans decorate one side of the room with blue and orange and the other half with blue and white. Have guests sit on their side of the "stadium."
Arrange appetizers and snacks on your coffee table or small tables around the space. Cover your kitchen table with a green table cloth to simulate a football field and adorn with a centerpiece made of mini footballs placed in a French fry basket. Put several chairs in your kitchen for the less enthusiastic football fans to converse and gather without taking the attention away from the game. Serve the food on colored paper plates to reduce clean-up and give it an authentic feel (if you were at a stadium you'd be using paper products!).
Since I will be serving margaritas on the rocks I'll purchase fun orange light up football ice cubes for guests to submerge in their drinks. I want my friends to be in the party mood from the moment of their arrival and will stick the ends of orange and blue metallic pom poms into the gravel surrounding the walkway up to my front door.
What's the look for your Super Bowl Party? Please share your winning decoration ideas with me below. Tomorrow I'll talk about game-day music!

Marlborough right-to-know case tangled in privacy issuesBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Sunday News Correspondent
December 08. 2012 8:44PM
MARLBOROUGH - A contempt of court case for alleged right-to-know violations against selectmen started Friday afternoon in Cheshire County Superior Court. The case will continue, but the next court date has not yet been set.
The case was brought against the board by resident Loretta Simonds, who had brought the original case against the board last year and won.
Last January, Judge Phillip P. Mangones found the board guilty of right-to-know violations and enjoined the board against further violations.
In June, Simonds filed another case alleging the board was in contempt by continuing to commit violations against the right-to-know law.
The board denied the claim and said it would fight the accusation in court.
On Friday afternoon, Simonds presented video and audio evidence to show the alleged disparity between what takes place at board meetings and what is reported in the minutes of meetings, she said.
In one example, she showed video of the board editing a letter, and she submitted meeting minutes that make no mention of that letter.
Her evidence also showed how board decisions had been made outside of posted meetings, she said.
In one instance, the board refused to speak to two petition warrant articles before the March Town Meeting, then announced at the town meeting that it did not recommend either article.
Simonds said she attended all meetings leading up to the March Town Meeting and the petition articles were never discussed.
Additionally, she said, neither is the decision to not recommend the articles mentioned in any of the meeting minutes leading up to the town meeting.
Simonds also submitted to the court 35 sealed non-public minutes that she had received from Town Administrator Sandy LaPlante when Simonds had requested all digital records of meeting minutes ever recorded.
Simonds, at first, said she thought the release of the private documents was a criminal matter and took it to County Attorney Peter Heed. He referred her to the Public Integrity Office of the Department of Justice, which, after review, told her it was a civil matter because it was a violation of the right-to-know law, Simonds said.
"It was an invasion of privacy that could adversely affect a reputation," Simonds said. "What they did violated the rights of nine individuals."
She also alleged the release of the documents violated HIPPA laws, several amendments of the U.S. Constitution, employment laws and the welfare act.
Representing the town, attorney Matthew Serge said the release of the documents was accidental and that Simonds was attempting to take advantage of the mistake.
"Isn't it true you just want the select board out of the way?" Serge asked Simonds on cross examination. "That you are taking advantage of the situation that you know is accidental."
Simonds acknowledged she had run for Select Board and lost in March and thought the board was doing a "lousy job" running the town, but said she was not out to get them and that there was nothing personal about her accusations of right-to-know violations "I didn't know what to do with those minutes. I really didn't.
"I feel there was a lack of control in the selectman's office that let those minutes (getting) out . They have the responsibly to guard those minutes, and they didn't," Simonds said. "There was no way to know when I got those files that those files were in there," she said.
About two hours into the hearing, Simonds concluded her testimony and Serge asked the judge for a continuation of the hearing so that he could present four witnesses - LaPlante and board members John Northcott, Gina Paight and Beverly Harris.
The judge agreed but no new court date was set.

Pigeon Forge liquor passes on third try
PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (AP) - Voters in Pigeon Forge have approved a liquor-by-the-drink referendum.
Similar efforts were rejected in 2009 and 2011.
The success of the initiative means more money for the schools inside city limits. State law requires the 15% tax on liquor to be divided 50-50 between the state and the city, with the city's share earmarked for education.
Tim Kellar of Forging Ahead, the advocacy group for the initiative, told The Mountain Press (http://bit.ly/VSXTt2 ) the victory will mean a more robust tourism industry.
Ronnie Reagan, pastor of Gum Stand Baptist Church, led the opposition and said voters got what they asked for and he prays it doesn't blow up on them.
The city is bracketed by Sevierville and Gatlinburg, which both allow liquor sales.

I spoke with the gentleman selling this bike and he has seen several just like it in the Bay Area. Maybe they just don't send them to some parts of the country.
(update 7/27/07 Oh great! He sold it and pulled the ad. But it really was a beautiful solid blue.)

I just spoke with Cal BMW. They said that BMW offered the solid Blue K1200S in the US as a 2005 model ONLY.
So now we know that it was a 2005 K1200S that straifed Tony.
And we know that cruizbz either hasn't noticed them for two years or that Chicagoans do not prefer the solid colors.

Hey, Tony... Based on my ride on Friday, you got off easy... I spent the last week in Rome and on friday I rented a bike and rode into the mountains east of the city. Quite a experience to say the least. I was passed by other motorcyclelists in my lane (not the passing lane, mind you) at quite high speeds. It happened several times and I saw each of them coming so I was ready for it but it was still wild. Even cars that passed me, didn't always move all the way over to the passing lane when passing. Sometimes they moved just a bit to the left essentially straddling both lanes. Half the car (or truck for that matter!) would be in the left half of my lane when they passed. It happened at least five times to me and I saw it happen to others all day long. It just seems to be the way it is done in Italy. Driving in the downtown Rome area was even worse but again, it just seems to be the way it works there and they are all seem to be used to it.
So consider yourself lucky, Tony. It's crazy elsewhere!

How did the term "squids" come to define poorly trained/equipped motorcyclists?
In the 1960's and 70's, small-town mid-western boys who had joined or were drafted into the Navy and Marines found themselves stationed in San Diego by the tens of thousands.
Suddenly on their own for the first time in their lives, and with a tiny discretionary income to spend in a year-round riding climate, they soon took to motorcycles in droves for the fun, cheap and easy transportation bikes provide.
These rookie untrained riders became infamous in Southern California for riding without protective gear and smearing themselves all over area roads.
"Squids" is a slightly derogatory/teasing name for sailors, and thus the nickname for sailors on a ship was soon applied to sailors riding motorcycles and thus the term was born.
Now the term is applied to anyone riding in an unsafe manner. Usually it involves a high performance sport bike, a poorly trained and relatively inexperienced rider, and a disdain for "sissy" protective gear. A $500 full face helmet on the head, flip-flops on the feet, and shorts and a t-shirt is the usual uniform of a mounted squid.
Derivative of U.S. military culture:
* Newly-inducted sailors based in San Diego in the '60s would sometimes buy an inexpensive two-stroke motorcyle for transportation while on shore, even if they had never ridden before. So, there were large numbers of unprotected, inexperienced "marine life" squirting through traffic in a hurry and leaving a trail of black "ink" (smoke) behind them.
* "Squid" was also a common derogatory term for sailors:
o Recent inductees were called "squids" by more senior sailors, and
o All sailors were called "squids" by Marines
North Eastern Ohio definition of SQUID = "Stupid, Quick, Under-dressed, and Imminently Dead"
Sorry to say, but after riding for more than 20 years I had several "near misses." Some of these tense moments were caused by riders passing me in the same lane.
The best I could do was mind my own ride and hope we didn't tangle. Thank you, Lord.
If I gather what happened correctly from the events, my highly skilled associates have reconstructed the details here in a stunning, full color video.
Randy Kasal
ps Don't try this at home.
If they see you and don't move over, well, get ready to pass them at the next opportunity.
That said, if someone went hauling ass by me, inside my lane, at 25+ my speed, I'd be a little miffed.

Barrister Bookcases
We've rethought this classic with techniques so simple even a beginner can do it!
By Glen D. Huey
Pages: 56-63
From the April 2007 issue #161

Almost everyone likes the look of barrister bookcases. But what makes them so appealing? I think there are a number of characteristics that make the barrister design popular and enduring.
First is that the individual units of the case stack together. And because they are separate units, they can be arranged in any desired height configuration to fit any area of your home or office.
Second, they are elegant as well as functional. The wood-framed glass doors, when lowered, protect your books or other valuables from moisture and dust – not to mention those tiny pudding-laced fingers of the little ones. They also allow you to look through the glass for a specific item without the undo stress of operating the doors. In the open position, with the doors raised and slid back into the case, you have easy access to those leather-bound sources of knowledge.
Third, as you will see, we rethought the construction so these cases can be built with the easiest techniques – without sacrificing any classic design elements. These are the easiest barrister bookcases you will ever build.

April 9, 2010
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The No. 11 UC Santa Barbara men's volleyball team might not have clinched its spot in the MPSF playoffs as of yet, but the Gauchos know they can play with any team in the country.
Three Gauchos hit .400 or better as UCSB (12-15) took down No. 9 Penn State in straight sets Friday night at Rob Gym, 30-26, 30-25, and 30-22, in non-conference play.
Scott Slaughter matched his career high with an .833 (10-0-12) hitting percentage and was complemented by Dylan Davis' .700 (7-0-10) rate and Blaine Nielsen's .462 (7-1-13) clip. Vince Devany totaled 37 assists on the night while libero Andy McGuire scooped nine digs.
Penn State, which came in leading the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association, dropped to 20-6 overall. Joe Sunder contributed 16 kills while Will Price and Max Lipsitz added nine kills apiece. Sunder and Dennis Del Valle each had 10 digs.
"It will take two wins against Hawaii to secure a spot in the playoffs," said UCSB head coach Rick McLaughlin, "It was a good game, one of the best of the year. We were able to serve well which makes everything easier."
The Gauchos trailed by two early in the first set, finally tying the match on a kill and subsequent ace from Davis, 12-12. UCSB mounted a four-point advantage after kills from Todd Travis, Davis, and Slaughter, making it 23-19. Penn State was unable to get any closer than three the rest of the way as Santa Barbara took advantage of the Nittany Lions' nine hitting errors during the set, taking the 1-0 lead with a 30-26 victory. UCSB committed only two team errors during the set, hitting .345 (12-2-29) as a squad.
Penn State opened up a four point lead in the second set, as a heavy presence at the net caused the Gauchos to convert only four of their first 14 attack attempts to open the frame. Down 9-7, UCSB rallied with kills from Jeff Menzel and Slaughter and a block from Devany to take the lead, 10-9. The Gauchos would slip their lead to three after Davis followed a quick set kill with another ace, making it 17-14. PSU would crawl back within two after a Menzel error, but a serving error and a resounding block from Nielsen and Davis opened the Gaucho lead to 24-20. PSU would bring the lead back to two, but an ace from Nielsen and a sneaky kill from Menzel gave the Gauchos a 30-25 set two victory.
Slaughter hit at a perfect rate through the first two sets, connecting on all nine of his attack attempts while the freshman, Davis, contributed six kills on seven attempts (.857).
Penn State jumped out to a 16-14 lead in the third and final frame, but subsequently lost the lead by giving up eight straight points to the Gauchos, exacerbated by four of its own hitting errors. Up 21-16, UCSB coasted to the finish, using a .387 team hitting percentage to put Penn State to bed, 30-22, in the final set.
The last time UCSB and Penn State met was on March 12, 2007, when the Nittany Lions won 30-24, 30-28, 28-30, 19-30, and 19-17. Opposite hitter Evan Patak led the Gauchos with 30 kills, while middle Theo Brunner totaled 20 kills, hit .760, and had five blocks.
Coming into the night, the Gauchos trailed UC Irvine and Long Beach State by a half match for eighth place in the MPSF standings. With UCSB's match being a non-conference affair, all the Gauchos could do was wait and see how they would stack up once the night ended. UC Irvine defeated UC San Diego in straight sets, 30-23, 30-13, and 30-21, giving the Anteaters a full match advantage over Santa Barbara with two matches to play. LBSU fell in five sets against UCLA.
UCSB will finish its regular season at home next weekend as it takes on No. 5 Hawaii at Rob Gym Friday and Saturday. Both matches start at 7 p.m. Hawaii has already punched its ticket to the MPSF Tournament.
Tickets for all matches this season are available by calling 805.893.UCSB, visiting the Ticket Office located inside the Intercollegiate Athletics Building on campus, or by purchasing online and printing at home.
In 2009, UCSB Athletics unveiled the BE Great initiative. BE Great is dedicated to maximizing leadership ability, strong on-campus interaction, and general welfare for all 450 student-athletes and Intercollegiate Athletics staff at UC Santa Barbara. BE Great also focuses on personal and career development, diversity and social awareness, and ensuring academic success.

Reynoldsburg city and school officials are collaborating to fight human trafficking -- a problem Councilman Cornelius McGrady III calls "a modern form of slavery."
Reynoldsburg city and school officials are collaborating to fight human trafficking -- a problem Councilman Cornelius McGrady III calls "a modern form of slavery."
The "Break Every Chain" Human Trafficking Awareness Conference will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan. 11 at the Reynoldsburg High School Summit campus, 8579 Summit Road in Reynoldsburg.
The day before the conference, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Jan. 10, a "Break Every Chain" telethon will take place, hosted by WBNS-10TV.
"The purpose of the telethon is to extend a lifeline for those in need," McGrady said. "We have also coordinated transportation arrangements should one of the callers be in need of immediate transportation assistance."
Organizers ask that attendees preregister for the Jan. 11 conference, so that they can prepare enough information packets. Admission is free. Register at ohioattorneygeneral.gov/ breakeverychain. On-site registration will be accepted from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. the morning of the event.
McGrady works with the Central Ohio Rescue and Restore Coalition, which defines human trafficking as a serious crime where "victims are subjected to force, fraud or coercion for the purpose of exploitation in commercial sex or forced labor."
He said human traffickers are pulling children and adults into modern-day slavery in central Ohio -- not just overseas or in other parts of the United States. Marlene Carson, founder of Rahab's Hideaway in Columbus, was kidnapped from her Columbus home at age 15 and sold into prostitution in New York. She spoke about her experience at assemblies held by Reynoldsburg High School in February.
According to the Polaris Project on human trafficking, researchers are working to compile a more accurate number of people who are tricked or forced into sex or labor slavery each year. Currently, an estimated 100,000 children are involved in the sex trade in the United States. The total number of adults and children involved each year in human trafficking in the U.S. is estimated at "hundreds of thousands," according to the Polaris Project website, polarisproject .org.
"As an advocate and volunteer, I have worked with the Reynoldsburg High School DECA students since 2011, facilitating classroom training and assemblies on domestic violence prevention subjects such as sexual harassment, missing children and human trafficking," McGrady said.
Recently, McGrady worked with Jewish Family Services to help bring a 10-week Teen Safe Dating program to local high schools. He also sponsored Reynoldsburg's recent awareness legislation concerning human trafficking and dating violence.
He is collaborating with students and teachers in the Reynoldsburg Youth Human Trafficking Coalition to organize the Jan. 11 event.
"We are excited about this event and for the need to bring awareness to this horrific crime," McGrady said.
Conference participants include U.S. District Attorney Carter Stewart, who represents the southern district of Ohio; state Rep. Heather Bishoff (D-Blacklick); Franklin County Municipal Court Judge Paul Herbert; Special Agent Kristin L. Cadieux of the FBI; and Barbara Freeman, whom McGrady called his "colleague, friend and survivor."
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine or a designee may also attend, and Gov. John Kasich has been invited, McGrady said.
McGrady said Trisha Smouse, the anti-human trafficking program manager at the Salvation Army of Central Ohio, is helping to facilitate the conference. He has also collaborated with Vickie Germann at the Ohio Attorney General's Office.
"DECA students were twice highlighted in the U.S. Attorney's Office Southern District Community Outreach Newsletter," McGrady said.

Two days on the set of 'The New Yankee Workshop' reveal surprising truths about the way Norm Abram works.

We're lost. I'm trudging through two feet of snow in what looks to be someone's backyard and there's no sign of the image found on millions of woodworkers' television screens every Saturday as they prepare for another half hour with Norm Abram. Where is the blue barn door? Where is the leaded glass window? Where is the iconic "The New Yankee Workshop" sign?
A few driveways and turnarounds later, just when I had decided that all of it – the shop, the sign, the setting – must be part of an elaborate set and therefore fake, we stumble on television's most famous woodshop.

Strictly Come Dancing 2012: Tearful Lisa Riley voted off before final
LISA Riley may have missed out on the Strictly final but she reckons she is still a winner.
We were never a joke. We were camp but I took it all seriously
But Lisa said: "In my eyes, I am still a winner. Len Goodman called me The People's Champion so I can sleep well with that title.
"When people look back at this series I think I'll be the one they talk about."
Tearful Lisa maintains she had "the time of her life" on the show. She reckons she changed people's views about fatties and exercise.
The celeb – who shrank from a size 26 to an 18, thanks to the rigorous training – added: "People have told me I inspired them to take up dance and exercise. I have proved the critics who called me 'the joke act' wrong by lasting until the semi-final.
"We were never a joke. We were camp but I took it all seriously."
Lisa will be heading home for a family Christmas soon but it will be tinged with sadness following the death of her mother Cath from cancer earlier this year when she was just 57
Lisa added: "It's going to be tough but I've got to be strong."

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - South Carolina was unable to overcome three costly first-half turnovers as it fell to Florida, 44-11, on Saturday.
If you're into numerology the number three wasn't a lucky number for South Carolina, especially coming off a brutal three-week stretch of SEC games.
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier headed back to his former stomping grounds at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, or "The Swamp" as the Head Ball Coach coined it during his years as coach of the Gators.
"We knew it'd be a tough game down here," South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier said. "We hoped our guys would give it their best shot and not just lay the ball on the ground and say, 'Here, Florida, we don't want to win. Yall take this fumble, this fumble, and this fumble,' and away they went."
The first sixty seconds set the pace of the game, as Florida put numbers on the board early after a fumble by Connor Shaw on the first offensive play.
"They brought a corner blitz and I never saw it," Shaw said. "The guy just made a play and swiped it out of my hands."
The turnover set up a 3-yard touchdown pass for Florida giving them a 7-0 lead less than a minute into the game.
The Gamecocks shook off the early miscue and went on a 15-play, 61-yard scoring drive. Yates capped the drive with a 35-yard field goal to trim Florida's lead to 7-3.
The Gamecock defense dominated the first half, holding Florida to just 29 yards of offense. However, three turnovers by the offense led to 21 points for the Gators.
South Carolina gained some momentum heading into the locker room, as Yates drilled a career-long 51-yard field as time expired to cut Florida's lead to 21-6.
However, the Gamecocks were outscored 23-5 in the second half making this their second straight loss of the season.
"We're embarrassed right now," Spurrier said. "We had some performances that didn't give us a chance and you can't do that. Can't have guys that somehow or another -- I don't have all the answers right now."
South Carolina failed to find the end zone for the first time since losing to Alabama 20-6 on October 17, 2009.
"That shouldn't happen," Spurrier said. "Florida kids don't fumble; they cover kickoffs. That's why we don't deserve to be in the top 15. I don't know what we deserve to be right now. We're just not overall a strong team."
The Gamecock play at home next Saturday against Tennessee. Kickoff has been set for 12 p.m. at Williams-Brice Stadium. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN.

A doctor in the Netherlands who specialises in treating Parkinson's disease was astounded to learn that a patient who is unable to walk because of the condition regularly undertakes bike rides of up to 50 miles without problem.
After the doctor published his findings in the New England Journal of Medicine, doctors elsewhere in the world came forward with similar tales regarding patients suffering from the disease who are able to ride bikes or ice skate.
Medical experts believe that the phenomenon may be linked to the way in which the brain stores specific memories, and that knowledge of it may lead to a breakthrough in treating the disease and help slow down its onset, according to a report by Australia's ABC News.
Professor Bas Bloem, a neurologist at the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, said that the 58-year-old patient was unable to walk. "He had freezing of gait - the mysterious phenomenon where the people really feel as if their feet are glued to the floor," explained Professor Bloem.
"This man told me he'd been on his bicycle for like 50 miles just the other day and that he was doing this on a regular basis and I said, 'you know that is impossible, you can't possibly ride a bike'," he added.
"And he said, 'Yeah, yeah I can ride a bike'."
ABC News said that Professor Bloem had video footage of the man looking happy and in control of his bike as he pedaled around the hospital car park, but when he got of, his symptoms came back and he was unable to walk.
When he learnt of the patient's ability to ride a bike, Professor Bloem asked 20 other people suffering severe effects from Parkinson's disease whether they could ride a bike, and learnt that all of them were able to do so.
Professor Bloem thinks that the phenomenon may be due to a different part of the brain being used to store information regarding riding a bike to that used for remembering how to walk.
"Or, perhaps, patients when they cycle are able to explore other areas of the brain that are still healthy in Parkinson's disease in order to support the rhythmic movements of their feet," he added.
"We may use this observation to provide a nice way to exercise patients with Parkinson's disease," continued Professor Bloem.
"We know that these patients tend to become immobilised in the course of their disease because of their physical problems, and this is really bad news for them because being immobile deprives you of your social contacts but it also increases the risk of, say, strokes or cardiovascular disease," he said.
Following publication of his finsings, Professor Bloem learnt of other cases from around the world where patients suffering from Parkinson's disease were able to move unimpeded in specific circumstances.
"I've received a beautiful email from Canada from a daughter of a patient who said, 'My mother was unable to walk but she could ice skate perfectly well' and I've had numerous more examples of unexpected abilities to move," he explained.
Professor Bloem continued: "I think what we as doctors should do much more is listen to our patients and explore the unique opportunities that patients have found themselves in order to make themselves move better and actually build this into our therapeutic arsenal."
He is now hopeful that the onset of Parkinson's disease can be slowed down through exercise, as happens in rats, and around $1 million has been set aside for a clinical trial, with results due by the end of 2011.
Born in Scotland, Simon moved to London aged seven and now lives in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds with his miniature schnauzer, Elodie. He fell in love with cycling one Saturday morning in 1994 while living in Italy when Milan-San Remo went past his front door. A daily cycle commuter in London back before riding to work started to boom, he's been news editor at road.cc since 2009. Handily for work, he speaks French and Italian. He doesn't get to ride his Colnago as often as he'd like, and freely admits he's much more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes.

Court stays order on quota at St. Columba's
New Delhi, Jan 8 (IANS) The Delhi High Court Wednesday stayed a Delhi government order reserving 20 percent seats in St. Columba's school for students belonging to the economically weaker sections.
Justice Manmohan passed an interim order staying the government notification, which he said "has been passed without application of mind".
St. Columba's moved the high court challenging the Dec 18 notification of Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung, saying the Supreme Court had excluded minority schools from the ambit of Right to Education Act.
The apex court held April 12, 2012 that the act would not apply to unaided minority schools and imposing a quota for children from poor families on such schools violated article 30 of the constitution.
Jung is an alumnus of St. Columba's.
On Dec 18, Jung ordered all the schools in Delhi, including minority schools, which got land from the government, to also admit 20 percent children from the weaker sections in the neighbourhood.
Delhi government counsel Zubeda Begum told the court that in 1966, land was given to the school on concessional basis so that they kept 20 percent of their seats to the economically weaker sections.
The association of unaided private schools has also moved the high court challenging the Delhi government notification. It has called the order "absolutely illegal, arbitrary and without jurisdiction".

Honolulu Community College's David Cleveland named emeritus professorHonolulu Community College
Interim Chancellor
HONOLULU — David Cleveland, retired professor of sociology at Honolulu Community College, has been awarded the title Professor Emeritus, Community Colleges, in recognition of his 33 years of dedicated and faithful service to the college. The emeritus designation is conferred for distinguished service, and it carries certain privileges and courtesies of regular faculty status.
Honolulu CC Interim Chancellor Michael Rota said, "I have known and respected David and his work for more than 25 years and this recognition is well deserved. As a respected faculty leader, we hope to call upon David to share his knowledge, expertise and passion for many years to come."
Cleveland's colleagues noted that he is "a teacher and mentor of extraordinary proportions who can bring out the best in others. He maintains high standards and demands much of his students, requiring independent research projects and a substantial amount of writing. His commitment to making more than 100 undergraduate students think and write every semester sets the benchmark for other classes."
One of his former students said, "It was through his support and encouragement that I found myself actually believing that I could succeed in college. The idea that I was ʻgood enough' helped me pursue a bachelor's degree in education."
Cleveland, who retired in 2005, received the Frances Davis Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching in 2003.

Samsung's concentration on aesthetics and high-end features goes down very well in the mass market, but the 7 Series screen won't appeal to everyone. Design-wise, it's part stunning, part gaudy; a black frame with silver highlights is bookended by a mirrored strip along the bottom of the TV. There's also an unusual spider stand that's very reflective, though a screen this slim is surely destined for a wall.
A mere 26.5mm deep around the sides and only 29mm deep in the middle, the UE46C7000 – while not as slim as Samsung's 8mm-deep 9 Series – is impressively tiny.
An edge LED backlight helps create this slimness, but there's a lot more to the UE46C7000, including 3D, a Freeview HD tuner and Samsung's expanding Internet@TV service.
Elsewhere in the 7 Series are the 40-inch UE40C7000 and 55-inch UE55C7000. Also in the 7 Series are two plasmas, the 63-inch PS63C7000 and 50-inch PS50C7000, while slimmer sets lie higher-up Samsung's ranges.
In a move that sees all of its Series 7 and above screens fitted with virtually the same comprehensive feature set, slimness and finish appear to be the only differences.
The 8 Series measures 23mm in depth and comprises a 65-inch UE65C8000, 46-inch UE46C8000 and 40-inch UE40C8000, while the flagship, titanium-coloured 9 Series – which manage a startling 8mm – comprises the 46-inch UE55C9000 and 55-inch UE55C9000. Essentially, the UE46C7000 is a cheaper version of those, though it shows only in the outward design.

I guess they were talking about this John Mayer interview particularly the aspect which pertains to black women (I didnt want to link to playboy so huffington it is)
I have a confession to make....
I hardly know the bloke beyond I saw him play guitar at Micheal Jacksons Funeral and I think he won a grammy a few years ago- I know this might make me seem old and out of it.
But I want to create an open opportunity for black women who might feel we are not addressing fears, or not being honest and open about white men and the interracial option we 'preach' and what have you, to have an opportunity to state their case.
So while I have my thoughts about this latest 'situation', I am opening the floor for bw to have their say.
Yes it is important to know that we BW IR bloggers do not shy away from any of the relevant issues around our work, however I am and do not want to make habit of addressing such issues constantly (and going off my preferred course), so this might be the one opportunity to have a chat about the latest white male anti-bw 'situation', issue etc
So no engaging in bwe/ir blogger protecting, aim your shots, announce your fears if you will about this one.
Having said that, vampires that feast on the insecurities of bw, you can be sure that you will not be allowed to slip in, because I am well trained and I know how to seperate genuine concern from a chance to gloat and make black women scared of their own shadows and limited by imagining lions and bears out there.
Also be respectful and no attacks! If you aim a snide remark at me or any bw ir, you will be deleted, I dont care if you are socrates reincarnated.
I shall summarise the post and comments in a short while and we can move on to other things...
Floor open.......
I shall be rounding down this entry shortly so we can summarize and move on to other things......
Black women, find out more about the Interracial Option, read the IR E-book

Assessing Developmental Delays
Parents often get concerned when a child doesn't do something by the age he's "supposed to." It's even worse when a friend or relative is telling you all the amazing things his child is doing that yours is not.
Your child should be getting regular wellness examinations to check not only his health but also his growth and development. At those examinations his doctor should be performing a more formal evaluation of his development, looking not just at 1 or 2 skills but at whole clusters of developmental milestones.
There are tools to help identify children at risk for developmental delays:
- Ages and Stages Questionnaire
- Modified Checklist for Autism In Toddlers
- Others
When problems are identified, your child's doctor can refer him to specialists who can determine whether your child might benefit from developmental services. As long as those periodic evaluations are normal, you can rest assured that your child is developing normally and should be fine.
Among the greatest joys of parenthood is watching your child develop and learn new skills. As a parent you're teaching your child constantly, whether or not you're even trying. He is watching your every move, and over time his speech, walk, even facial expressions will come to mirror yours. All the while, he's teaching you, helping you become a more responsive dad and eventually bringing you facts, music, adventures, and philosophies you would never have encountered without him. As the umpire says, "Play ball!"

The Congress of the United States went out of its way this week to embarrass itself.
At issue was a House resolution "calling on the President and the Secretary of State to oppose unequivocally any endorsement or further consideration of the 'Report of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict' in multilateral fora."
The point of the resolution was to tell the Obama administration in general, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in particular, to do everything in its power to prevent serious consideration of the Goldstone Report, a study of alleged violations of international human rights laws and humanitarian standards by the Israeli Defense Forces operating in Palestinian territory on the Gaza Strip.
The fact-finding mission, led by former South African Constitutional Court judge Richard Goldstone, was authorized by the United Nations Human Rights Council in response to the outcry over the IDF's invasion and occupation of Gaza in the winter of 2008-2009. That conflict left as many as 1,400 Palestinians dead, along with 13 Israelis. An estimated 400,000 Gazans were left without running water, and tens of thousands were left homeless during the course of the invasion.
Goldstone's report accused both Palestinian militants who had fired missiles at Israeli communities and Israeli military forces that entered Gaza of committing crimes against humanity and recommended that bad players be brought to justice.
Reasonable people can and have disagreed about components of the report and the UN's at times bumbling actions relating to it.
But the know-nothing response of the U.S. House was unsettling. As Congressman Keith Ellison, D-Minnesota, noted before the vote on the resolution condemning the Goldstone Report: "Congress is poised to oppose the Goldstone report without holding a single hearing on a document that few members of Congress, if any, have read."
"This is a mistake," argued Ellison, who has spent a good deal of time in Israel and Gaza. "The stance of this Congress will erode U.S. credibility in the post-Obama world, and it will tarnish our commitment to the principle that all nations must be held to the same standards. Rather than undermine the report or Goldstone, we are at risk of undermining Congress's and President Barack Obama's reputation as honest brokers."

Hi all,
I bought a G1G1 in the Australia round last year, and I was using it on and off for research. I have been away for several months and I have only just had time to come back to use the device. However, now, it's like it has no power and has no response at all.
the trouble shooting guide suggests that it needs a new mainboard, and I have also read elsewhere that it could be the lack of internal battery power? I am really not sure.
I would really like to use it again, but:
a) have no idea what is wrong with it
b) have no idea how and where to get it fixed if there is something wrong with it, or;
c) where to buy major parts like mainboards.
I have looked through the threads here, but not seen anything that explains my problem.
Alternatively, if anyone is Aus is willing to lend me an OLPC for a week, I'll pay all postage and shipping costs!
Any help anyone could give would be appreciated - I have school kids visitng soon and would love to show them an OLPC, but a broken one is not what I had in mind.

By On Jul 31, 2018 Necklace
A larger piece is more bold and dramatic and will communicate that you are happy to be the centre of attention. A small piece that is delicate is more feminine, one that is plain is more relaxed and casual.
Just like clothing and other accessories, your face shape can determine what style of necklace suits you better than others. Look for necklaces that elongate the face such as those that are between 20"-24". This will help frame the face effortlessly, creating a v-shape that brings the eye down. A choker or shorter necklace style will help soften the sharper angels of the face, highlighting a longer neck. Like a square/ oblong face, if your face is more heart shaped, try shorter necklaces from 16"-18" to really help soften the faces angles.
Those that are shorter or taller in height, typically have the hardest time in finding a necklace shape that is right for them. Shorter women, often find that long necklaces are made too long and taller women find that a necklace that is supposed to be longer, sits too short on the torso. Take a look at our height examples to find the best length for your height.

The problem the Philippines' Government should also be tackling is looting by murder. I saw the news this evening about a person who got killed by some robbers in Tacloban for his relief resources. That someone is a father of two. The daughter went to the police, reporters, and a person in military uniform(relief aid personnel?) on her knees crying "God! Sirs! Please get the person who killed my father!" with tears on her face, her mouth in a downward curve in great grief.
There is a quest of whether the relief fund should be air dropped or given from land.
From land there is considerable order but from air people who are wounded wouldn't have to line up.
P.S. the world knows it as Haiyan bu the Philippines calls it Yolanda
That's why I'd probably donate using the food.
The reason why Im so sad is because the typhoon has hit one of the poor parts of the philippines . Tacloban is a fishing town where thousands do their living by fishing . And it would take YEARS or even decades to even fullly rebuild everything there.
If the typhoon smashed The richer parts (Which I hope it wont !!) of Metro Manila instead of tacloban then it would be rebuild quickly since its the most important part of the country and one of the main important economic hub of South east asia .
Whats even worse is the philippines is a island scattered country so its way harder to deliver the aid to the people .
Thankfully, awareness has spread rather quickly.
but sadly, the relief goods and such isn't distributed quickly , and not all is getting it.
And if ever anyone wants to donate food. It will be harder to deliver.
P.S. Us Filipinos are grateful of the community for helping us
I actually have some family in the Philippines, and thankfully, the ones that I've heard back from, appear to be alright.
Thanks a bunch CR for spreading awareness of this issue and how people can help out!
I wonder what percentage of donations, will actually get to the people of the Philippines.
Catching up on the latest news on Crunchyroll.
true my friend.they even lied about the death counts and survivors -_-
I donated some to the Philippines through a different charity donation. I hope everything goes well for them.
Yo, my brethren anime otaku!
I was wondering when CR is going to do this, just like the Japan Tsunami. Yay! another way to contribute something through CR, something I'm comfy with.
Well I'm all in for shipping actual food rather then money, but question here is would they be able to transport them from one country to the Philippines faster? I think not fast enough, so money is the fastest, even tho we are aware that there will be a possibility that this money we will be giving might fall into the wrong or corrupt hands. I'm just hoping it will not, as its essential on acquiring resources readily available over there would be faster and getting it to the affected areas.
Prayers to those affected.
Prayers. For my father, relatives and friends.
Thank you CR for this... Many families including mine were affected by the disaster. My Family lives on the backside of Tacloban near Ormoc city. Tacloban being hit the hardest. My family is safe but the citys are destroyed. Food and clean water is scarce there now. So im glad to see CR doing this to help out. I appreciate any and all whom donate. This is helping my family and many others in the Philippines.
The hardest part was in the beginning for me. I live in the US and so does my mother and father but the rest of my family is in Philippines. Hardest part was not being able to contact them for the first 5 days and seeing the death toll rise. Fortunately I was able to contact them by phone on day 6 to hear that they are all okay.
Thank you all for helping
Interview with CARE on relief in Philippines.
If you want to donate relief goods, get a "balikbayan" box from "LBC Express" for locations nearest you, click link below.
They will ship your donation to the Philippines FREE, just mark it "LBC Foundation." They are working with the Red Cross. ^_~
Can't really donate with my current state. But thank you CR for helping my motherland ;w;
Most of the goods were purchased from the donors's country of origin then shipped to PH therefore eliminating any chances for gov officials to steal it
