Two six-year-old elementary students were suspended from a Maryland school Monday (01/14) for using their fingers as imaginary guns while at recess.
One of the boy's father is Army Staff Sgt. Stephen Grafton--he did not want to be interviewed on camera--but said the school's decision to suspend the children from the White Marsh Elementary School crossed the line. Many residents agreed.
The Talbot County Board of Education released this statement regarding the suspensions: Quote: "It is frustrating for school systems, because a complete explanation of events cannot be provided due to confidentiality requirements under the federal educational rights and privacy act."
But some believe gun play of any kind is not appropriate for school. They say in today's world it's hard to tell how far is too far.

'Body' turns out to be uninvited houseguest napping behind couch
MANCHESTER - A "body" behind a grandmother's couch turned out to be her grandson's friend who crawled behind the sofa to take a snooze so as not to disturb her.
Darnae Stressel, 23, was arrested late Tuesday afternoon and charged with criminal trespass.
Police said the woman returned to her Beech Street home about 4:40 p.m. to find a "body" on the floor behind her living room couch. Officers discovered a sleeping Stressel under a blanket on the floor behind the couch.
He previously stayed at the residence as a guest of the woman's grandson but had not been welcomed there in several weeks. Police said no one was home when he let himself in with a key, which was returned to the grandmother after officers found it allegedly in Stressel's possession.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- This was quite the debut for Tom Sermanni, and Christen Press.
Sermanni coached the U.S. women's soccer team to a 4-1 win over Scotland on Saturday, making the most of two first-half goals by Press.
It was Sermanni's first game in charge since he was hired by the U.S. Soccer Federation in October. He was born in Scotland and spent the last eight years as Australia's coach, leading the Matildas to the quarterfinals of the last two Women's World Cups.
"It's good to get the team out on the park,'' Sermanni said. "What impressed me was the number of chances that they got and how they can create chances all at times. At times, some of the combinations impressed me. So just the way they focus and go about doing the job and winning games is very impressive.''
Press played in her first game for the national team and had a hand in each of the United States' first three goals in the exhibition at the home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, scoring twice and assisting on the third.
"I was hoping that my first cap would be my first start and my first goal all in the same day,'' she said. "Sort of was going for the trifecta. My teammates made it really easy for me and I'm really thankful for that.''
She got the Americans on the board in the 13th minute, taking advantage of a poor clearing attempt by Scotland. The ball was batted back in the direction of Press, who deftly lifted a kick over the defenders and goalkeeper Gemma Fay.
Press' second score came at the 32-minute mark. She took a pass from Tobin Heath and sent a header from 22 feet out into the left corner of the net.
The U.S. made it 3-0 early in the second half when Shannon Boxx got a pass from Press and lifted a kick over the outstretched arms of Fay.
"On that first goal, the clearance by the defense was a little short and it was my job to be there for anything that came out,'' the 24-year-old Press said. "At that point, it's just have fun, shoot and see what happens.''
Press had trained in Sweden the past year and called that experience "a blessing in my life.''
"I learned so much there, just seeing the different styles of soccer,'' she said. "All the things I've been able to learn as a person and a player has helped me prepare to play at this level.''
Scotland avoided a shutout in the 54th minute. Kim Little drilled a hard shot past U.S. goalie Nicole Barnhart, who replaced Jill Loyden at intermission.
Sydney Leroux closed out the scoring for the United States, sending a loose ball into an uncontested net in the 89th minute in front of a crowd of 18,656.
The Americans stretched their unbeaten streak to 24 games (21-0-3) dating to the 2012 season.
It was only the second game between the United States and Scotland. The American women won 8-2 in the first meeting in 2002, powered by Abby Wambach's first career hat trick and the last three-goal performance by Mia Hamm.
The countries will play again Wednesday in Nashville, Tenn., at the home of the Tennessee Titans.
"This was a great start for us,'' Wambach said. "It's a new experience with a new coach. We tried new formations with new players and this was a great way to get things going for this year.
"Everyone was out there, having fun and this proved to be a great starting point for us for this year. We've only been together with the new coach for a short time, but we're all working hard, having fun and we're enjoying it. It's a great marriage so far.''

Will Glee Get Away with Transphobic Remark? Yeah, Probably.
Last night, Fox Network's show Glee took on the challenge of a Rocky Horror tribute. As a Gleek and a Rocky fan, I was excited to see the show, particularly to get to see who had the great honor of dressing up as Dr. Frankfurter. I was pleasantly surprised by Finn (played by Cory Monteith) dressed up as Brad and playing the awkward, but surprisingly attractive dork we've all come to love. Perhaps more surprising was Mike Chang's (Harry Shum, Jr.) offer to play the famed Dr. Frankfurter. I gasped at the thought of him prancing around in fishnets and leather. Then, disappointment and, dare I say, horror, hit when Mike not only advised that he cannot play Frankfurter in the performance, but that it was because his parents didn't want him "dressing up like a tranny."
The line could have easily been altered or perhaps left with an implication to the audience (as it's generally obvious why a conservo-head parent would object to their son dressing up as Dr. Frankfurter). Perhaps it could have been "dressing up in fishnet stockings" or "revealing that much of my body publicly," but no… it was the T-bomb and highly inappropriate.
I take great offense to the use of the word tranny (and even reluctantly use it here); although, I admit that many transgender people often use it to describe themselves. Regardless of context, I flinch at the word. It is the "T" equivalent of "fag" in my opinion – and the opinion of many of my dearest T friends. Perhaps even more shocking was the silence.
During the episode, my Facebook wall and twitter stream exploded with "Rocky this" and "Glee" that, but upon the pronouncement of the T-bomb, not a soul, sans perhaps myself, said one thing about it. Imagine, if you would, that the writers of the show had changed Mike's line slightly to say, ""I really want to do it, but they're just not cool with me dressing up like a fag." The outrage from my LGB brothers and sisters would have been evident. Queerty, Americablog, Bilerico and all the others would have rushed to be the first to stand up against the outrageous line and demand an apology (in spite of the fact the show is generally "gay mecca").
So where is the outrage? Where are the demands for an apology? The silence is not music to my ears.

Loosen your muscles and joints with these simple stretches. You can perform them in your seat, but make sure it is in the upright position. Remember to respect the personal space of fellow travellers.
The Brazilian Ministry of health reported an ongoing outbreak of Yellow Fever which occurred mainly in rural areas with most cases being reported from Minas Gerais State. Vaccination campaigns are conducted among unvaccinated residents of affected areas.
Anyone 9 months or older who travels to affected areas should be vaccinated against Yellow Fever and provide an international vaccination certificate when travelling. If no English certificate is presented at check-in, boarding can be denied. People who have never been vaccinated should not travel to areas with ongoing outbreaks.
According to WHO, from 11 July the international certificate of vaccination against yellow fever is valid for the life of the person vaccinated. This lifetime validity applies automatically to all existing and new certificates, beginning 10 days after the date of vaccination. Accordingly, as of 11 July 2016, revaccination or a booster dose of yellow fever vaccine will not be required for international travellers as a condition of entry into a State Party, regardless of the date that their international certificate of vaccination was initially issued.
Travellers to areas with ongoing outbreaks, should consider a booster dose if their last Yellow Fever Vaccination was given more than ten years ago. Travellers should consult with a yellow fever vaccine provider to determine if they should be vaccinated.

SUBMITTED BY ARTHUR N1ORC - AMSAT A/C #31468 August 11, 2006 Allard Beutel Headquarters, Washington 202-358-4769 James Hartsfield Johnson Space Center, Houston 281-483-5111 STATUS REPORT: SS06-037 INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION STATUS REPORT: SS06-037 This week on the International Space Station crew members refurbished their exercise treadmill, prepared areas inside and out for an imminent expansion of their home and took a couple of special calls to discuss soccer and food in space. Commander Pavel Vinogradov, Flight Engineer Jeff Williams and European Space Agency Astronaut Thomas Reiter are gearing up for the second space shuttle visit to the station during Expedition 13. The shuttle Atlantis, targeted to launch in a window that opens Aug. 27, will resume major orbital construction of the complex. During its mission, designated STS-115, Atlantis will deliver and install a 17.5-ton, bus-sized segment of the station's girder-like truss that includes another set of solar arrays, batteries and associated electronics. The station crew started out the week with two days of standard maintenance work on the treadmill vibration isolation system, a special exercise treadmill located on the floor of the Zvezda living quarters module. Crews perform the maintenance task every six months to inspect the treadmill's components, replace worn items and install new bearings. The treadmill is a complex system that uses gyroscopes to stabilize itself and isolates the vibrations created by exercise from being transmitted to the station's structure, where they could disturb sensitive experiments. Extensive exercise is a daily regimen for all station crew members as one method of counteracting the effects of long exposure to weightlessness. The crew had time set aside each day this week to pack up and prepare items that will be moved from the station to the shuttle during Atlantis' flight. In addition, ground controllers worked with the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to prepare for the upcoming shuttle flight. On Thursday, they moved the arm to position cameras to view markings on the station used for a graphical computer alignment aid when new components are attached. That aid, called the space vision system, will be used during Atlantis' flight to help with the attachment of the new truss section. On Friday, controllers moved the arm to perform an early checkout of its systems, ensuring it is ready for the shuttle mission The station crew greeted special guest calls this week. On Tuesday, the coach and players from the FC Barcelona soccer team talked with the crew as they visited NASA's Johnson Space Center prior to an exhibition game in Houston. Reiter, a soccer fan, showed the team a space soccer move during the call. On Thursday, the crew members spoke with Chef Emeril Lagasse about space food and their mission. Lagasse sent NASA several recipes that were prepared and delivered to the station aboard the last shuttle flight. The Expedition 13 crew tried the dishes this week. The next station status report will be issued on Friday, Aug. 18, or earlier if events warrant.

Mifgash: the program, stepping-stone and future
July 29, 2013
By Deborah Carneol, Social Media Coordinator
You may have noticed the large group of teens around the building two weeks ago, half of them speaking English, the other half speaking Hebrew. That's because this past month the JCC hosted, in partnership with the Milwaukee Jewish Federation and Partnership2Gether (P2G) the Teen Mifgash Program. What is the Teen Mifgash program you ask? The Hebrew word "mifgash" literally means "encounter" in English, but in here in Milwaukee its translation means so much more than that. Here, the word "mifgash" has become synonymous with cross cultural learning, volunteering, socializing and life-long friendships. To me, the word Mifgash means family.
Mifgash – The Program
For years, the Teen Mifgash Program has been bringing our community's Jewish teens and teens from the Sovev Kinnert (the Region), our Partnership Region in Israel, together in both Wisconsin (Milwaukee and Camp Interlaken JCC) and then Israel. This "mifgash" offers this group of teens the opportunity to learn about each other's cultures in a hands-on way.
The first leg of the program was held in Wisconsin, starting in Milwaukee and ending at Camp Interlaken JCC in Eagle River, WI. Here in Milwaukee the teens traveled together all over the State. The teens volunteered at different local agencies like Hubbard Park and the Riveredge Nature Center, they visited popular Milwaukee museums like the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Harley Davidson Museum, and the teens also had a day trip to Madison where they spent time at the UW Hillel and had a scavenger hunt down State Street. The teens also participated in workshops designed to teach each group of teens about the culture of the other group. The workshops were led by JCC and Federation Staff and ranged from dissecting the map of Israel to watching the video "the Tribe." While in Milwaukee, the Israeli teens participated in a home stay and had an opportunity to spend time with their host families to learn more about American culture. After five days in Milwaukee, the entire group traveled north to Eagle River, to Camp Interlaken JCC to celebrate Shabbat, where they learned more about Jewish Summer Camp culture.
After their camp visit, the Israeli teens returned home, while the American teens began the next leg of their trip to Israel. On Tuesday, July 16 the 20 American teens boarded a plane to Israel where they will spend two weeks visiting different areas in Israel. Over their two week journey, the teens will visit the Kotel (Western Wall), climb Masada, take a dip in the Dead Sea, take hikes in the mountains and more! The American teens will also have the chance to reconnect with their Israeli counterparts as they participate in home hospitality within the Region. While in the Region the Israeli teens and the American teens will tour the area together, strengthening their connection to each other. Click here to read the American's blog about their journey through Israel.
Mifgash - The Stepping Stone
This program is a once in a lifetime opportunity, bringing American and Israeli teens together, but it has the potential to spark something even deeper for these teens. This program sparked something deeper for me. It was the stepping stone for me and my family when it came to our connection with Israel.
Before my Teen Mifgash Program in the summer of 2004, my only connection to Israel was what I had learned at the Milwaukee Jewish Day School. I knew about the history, and I knew second hand about the culture, but I had not experienced Israel in a first-hand sort of way. My Mifgash Program changed that completely. My home stay in Israel was the first time I really had a chance to live Israeli culture. I stayed with a family and became friends with their daughter Talia. Talia showed me what Israeli culture was like for teens. Then, when the Israelis came to America, Talia stayed with me, and I was able to show her the culture of American teens. She was my first true Israeli peer, and she and I still talk on occasion.
My "Mifgash" experience also opened up the world of P2G to my family. After my Mifgash Program, my family learned about another program that was centered on creating connections and relationships between Americans and Israelis. My family learned about the Shin Shin program, where two young Israeli emissaries join our Milwaukee Jewish community for a year to build connections between Milwaukee and Israel. My family was immediately interested and became a host family in 2004/2005 for Noa Karsenty. A few years later in 2010/2011, my family hosted another Shin Shin, Snir Shoshany. The connection we made with Noa and Snir ran deeper than just the few months they lived with my family though. Their families became my family. We have celebrated life cycle events together like my brother's Bar Mitzvah in Noa's family's synagogue, and Noa's wedding in Tiberias this past summer. We have also enjoyed many Shabbat dinners in Israel and America with both the Karsentys and the Shoshanys. Our connection with Israel is no longer just the history, the land and the culture. Our connection is family.
Mifgash – The Future
My experience with the Mifgash Program provided me with more than I could have ever imagined. I have friends and family to visit in Israel, I have a deeper understanding of Israeli culture, and a different appreciation for life in Israel. I can only hope that the experience that this year's Mifgash Program has inspired this year's teens and their families to get more involved. Milwaukee's partnership with the Sovev Kinnert Region is rare and special. Find out how you can get your teen involved in next year's Mifgash Program by contacting Sarah Ruiz at the JCC, and find out more about P2G opportunities here.

The price of oil fell to near $86 a barrel on Thursday after critical budget negotiations in Washington reached an apparent impasse.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark oil for January delivery was down 60 cents to $86.17 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract finished 98 cents higher at $86.77 a barrel in New York on Wednesday after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced new stimulus measures to help the slow-growing U.S. economy.
But enthusiasm withered as signs emerged from Washington that President Barack Obama and Republican leaders were as far apart as ever on reaching a budget deal before year's end. Without an agreement, hundreds of billions of dollars in tax increases and government spending cuts will automatically take effect.
That prospect, known as the "fiscal cliff," has the force to throw the U.S. economy into recession, experts say, likely hurting demand for energy.
"It seems that the fiscal cliff still remains the highest priority for the short term," analysts from Sucden Financial Research in London wrote in a report. "The release of the weekly jobless claims data and the U.S. retail sales figures will be the main focus for today's trading session."
Meanwhile, at an OPEC meeting Wednesday, ministers agreed to keep their daily crude production target unchanged. OPEC also predicted less demand for oil next year in part because of weak economic growth.
Analysts at Capital Economics said in an analysis that "two of the few things that OPEC members can agree on are that the oil market is currently well supplied and that demand for the group's crude will fall next year as non-OPEC production increases further."
Ample supplies and weak demand are two key factors that have kept oil prices in check in recent weeks.
Brent crude, used to price international varieties of oil, was down 30 cents to $109.20 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on Nymex:
— Heating oil added 0.66 cent to at $2.9734 a gallon.
— Natural gas was down 0.9 cent to $3.373 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Wholesale gasoline fell 0.96 cent to $2.6369 a gallon.

Braves hope Medlen can extend streak in wild card
Break out the peanut butter and honey. Kris Medlen is ready for
another start.
Only this time, it's the biggest game of his career.
The diminutive right-hander, who didn't even start the season in
Atlanta's rotation, will deliver the first pitch in the inaugural
wild-card playoff against the defending World Series champion St.
Louis Cardinals. The Braves couldn't have asked for anyone better
in the winner-take-all format, considering they haven't lost a
start by Medlen (10-1, 1.57 ERA) in more than two years.
Just stop reminding him about it.
"It's not me by myself," said Medlen, who always snacks on a
peanut butter and honey sandwich before his starts. "I've given up
four or five runs in a start, and guys pull it out for me. My name
is in the books or whatever, but it's a team thing. I didn't do it
all by myself, that's for sure."
The Braves have won 23 consecutive starts by Medlen – a modern
big league record. He eclipsed the mark held by a pair of Hall of
Famers, Carl Hubbell and Whitey Ford.
"You can't help but notice when someone's having the amount of
success that he's had," said Kyle Lohse, who will start for the
Cardinals. "It's impressive what he's done. Obviously, the team
plays very well behind him, and to be that consistently good to
keep your team in games or win games says a lot about what kind of
pitcher he is.
"I expect him to keep doing what he's been doing out there,"
Lohse added, "and my job is to do the same thing that he's doing.
Go out there and shut down their team."
No one is quite sure what to expect from the one-game format,
which was added this year when Major League Baseball expanded the
playoff field by adding a second wild-card team in each league.
One-and-done may be the norm in football. But this is a whole
new ballgame for the big leagues.
"We know the necessity to make it like a Game 7," Cardinals
manager Mike Matheny said. "You do things differently. We've been
anticipating it, but I also want these guys to know we just want to
go out and play the game we've been playing."
Besides, St. Louis knows it's just fortunate to have a chance to
win another title. The Cardinals finished six games behind Atlanta
in the wild-card standings. If not for the new system, they would
be watching from home.
"We're exceptionally happy about the format," Matheny said
with a smile.
Despite losing Albert Pujols last winter in free agency, the
Cardinals have a chance to pull off another magical postseason run.
A year ago, they trailed the Braves by 10 1/2 games in late August,
but Atlanta collapsed over the final month and St. Louis pulled out
the wild card on a frenetic final day. That momentum carried right
into the playoffs, where the Redbirds pulled off three straight
upsets, including another stunning rally against Texas in the World
Pujols may be gone. But there's plenty of holdovers from the
title team, including Lohse (16-3, 2.86).
"A lot of guys with me in that clubhouse, they experienced last
year from being 10 1/2 back and a lot of people kind of saying, `Go
get `em next year,"' he said. "It helped us mature a lot and grow
a lot as individuals and learn how to handle big situations like
the one that's coming up."
The winner advances to face NL East champion Washington in the
divisional round.
The Braves would love to get another crack at the Nationals,
having chased them futilely all summer and coming up four games
short in the divisional race. But Atlanta will have to do something
it hasn't done in more than a decade – win a playoff round. The
Braves have dropped six straight series since winning a divisional
playoff in 2001, including an 0-5 mark in elimination games at
Turner Field.
They don't want to go out like that again, not with 40-year-old
Chipper Jones planning to retire as soon as the season is over.
"You don't have that many opportunities in your career to play
in the playoffs or to play in whatever this is called," Medlen
said. "But especially for him. It's his last year. It inspires you
to want to get a few more games under his belt and let him go out
on top, which is where he belongs."
If the Braves needed any more motivation, they could turn to the
words of Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright.
As St. Louis closed in on the second wild card, the players took
note of the raucous celebration by the Braves after they clinched a
playoff spot – especially Wainwright, who came up in the Atlanta
"No disrespect to what they did, but I think we're going to
save the big pop for after we beat Atlanta," he said.
That little sound bite has made the rounds in the Braves
clubhouse, providing some extra fire. But, overlooking the one-game
format, this isn't the gridiron. Bulletin-board fodder only goes so
far. A player isn't suddenly going to hit the ball harder because
he's mad at the other team. A pitcher isn't going to get an extra 5
mph on his fastball.
"It's not like football where we post it and I want to rip his
head off," said Braves catcher David Ross, noting that Wainwright
won't even be on the 25-man roster for this game. "But it is one
of those things, you wonder why guys comment about other teams. I
feel like, as a player, I wouldn't make a comment about another
team in a negative light to a media outlet. I just feel like I'm
better than that."
No one has been better than Medlen over the past two months.
Forced into the rotation by injuries and ineffective
performances, he suddenly became baseball's hottest pitcher. He
hardly looks the part, generously listed at 5-foot-10 with a
fastball that struggles to reach 90 mph. But he is especially
bedeviling with his changeup, a pitch the organization ordered him
to throw coming up through the minors.
In 12 starts this season, Medlen is 9-0 with an 0.97 ERA. He
struck out 13 hitters in one game, 12 in another. In six of those
appearances, he didn't give up an earned run.
Away from the field, it's hard to take Medlen seriously. He is a
bundle of nervous energy, which he copes with by delivering a
constant string of jokes and one-liners. As manager Fredi Gonzalez
finished up his time at the podium Thursday, Medlen stood against
the wall, clapping slowly.
When asked about his pregame routine, Medlen made it clear he
doesn't have one.
Except for the peanut butter and honey.
"It's a light meal. It's good energy," he said. "It's not
like I'm going to eat fried chicken."

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Talk about exploring the past. Police say a pair of thieves stole a baby dinosaur replica from a science museum and took props from a history exhibit at another facility.
A police statement says the 21-year-olds were charged with two counts of theft or destruction of property of public libraries and museums, a felony. Officials say they turned themselves in Thursday.
Surveillance cameras captured the man and woman taking a small model of the duck-billed Edmonotosaurus from the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences on Monday. The model is valued at $10,000.
Police say they also took fake cabbage, lettuce, doilies and an antique medicine bottle from the North Carolina Museum of History on the same day. The items combined were worth less than $1,000.

Dr. Sakkubai Naidu, Principal Investigator, is initiating a double blinded placebo controlled clinical drug trial using dextromethorphan (DM) in Rett Syndrome (RTT), at the Pediatric Clinical Research Unit (PCRU) of the Johns Hopkins Hospital/Kennedy Krieger Institute.
It has been shown that receptors for a certain brain chemical called glutamate, in particular the NMDA type, are increased in the brain of young RTT patients (<10 years of age). This chemical and its receptors, when in excess, cause harmful over-stimulation of nerve cells in the brain, contributing in part to the seizures, behavioral problems, and learning disabilities in RTT.
The investigators propose to initiate a specific treatment using DM to counter/block the effects of this brain chemical and its excessive receptors to improve the ill effects of increased glutamate/NMDA receptors, because of DM's identified ability to block NMDA receptors. DM is available for human consumption. Infants and children with respiratory infections and cough, as well as non-ketotic hyperglycinemia, are treated with DM, which has been well tolerated.
|Condition or disease
|Rett Syndrome
|Drug: dextromethorphan Drug: placebo
|Phase 2
The study will last for 3 months and will be limited to MECP2 mutation-positive children, one year - 9.99 years of age. This clinical trial, which is a placebo-controlled study, will randomize patients to the drug or placebo to determine the benefits of DM vs placebo on cognition, behavior, or seizures if present.
Your child will stay twice in the Pediatric Clinical Research Unit (PCRU) at Johns Hopkins ICTR, for 3 days during each admission. The first hospital stay will be for 3 days, before she starts the DM or placebo. The follow-up 3-day hospital stay will be 3 months after she starts taking DM or placebo. There will also be two interim follow up evaluations at 2 weeks and 1 month after she starts taking the DM or placebo consisting of a neurological evaluation, EKG, and blood work, which can take place at your local doctor's office or at Johns Hopkins, and will be paid for by this study. Our research nurse or research associate will contact you at least weekly during the first month, and at least monthly thereafter until the end of the 3-month study.

March 25th - 31st
April 1st - 7th
April 8th - 12th
I redid the maths and am hereby changing my prediction to Tuesday at 5:45AM.
Assuming that the festival begins at noon on each date:
2007: 88.25 hours between set time announcement and festival time
2008: 75.5 hours between set time announcement and festival time
2009: 72 hours between set time announcement and festival time
2010: 86.5 hours between set time announcement and festival time
2011: 61.25 hours between set time announcement and festival time
Average is 76.7 hours between set time announcement and festival time. Counting backwards, that's around 5:45am on Tuesday. (I think. I was never very good at the maths).
What time does Satan go on? He's gonna have a big crowd.
Saturday 3:20pm Gobi
Everyone's a Photographer
Wow. I can't believe you guys are actually talking about Satan. Let alone playing at 3:20 in the Gobi. He's definitely a night time set and deserves either the main or outdoor stage. Shame on your insolence.
Other than that, my vote is the last choice.

Set times still aren't out. It's really killing me.
Just search "Coachella Twitter", it is their last tweet. The link still works for me. They just responded to one person who said "Set Times! Please!" and they just responded "Soon". That was an hour ago tho.
It's probably going to be another close to midnight release
I just hope that we get them before my flight tomorrow morning.
I went to weekend one last year, weekend two this time... Did the two weekends have different set times last year or did they basically stay the same?
Okay, that's what I figured... Thanks!

After blowing lead, No. 11 Iowa St. hangs on to beat Texas Tech
AMES, Iowa — It went into the books as a win for Iowa State.
But after blowing an 18-point lead in the second half, there wasn't much for the Cyclones to celebrate.
DeAndre Kane had 17 points with nine assists and No. 11 Iowa State sneaked past Texas Tech 70-64 on Saturday.
Georges Niang also had 17 points for the Cyclones (19-5, 7-5 Big 12), who barely survived a huge late rally from the Red Raiders and won for the fourth time in five games.
"We just lost our minds for a stretch," Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. "For us to find a way to get it, even after they took the lead, is huge for us."
Even though it all worked out in the end, there were times when the Cyclones put themselves in position for one of their worst losses in years.
Texas Tech went on a 29-10 run to take the lead with 3:02 left before Matt Thomas and Niang hit layups that put Iowa State ahead 67-62 with 1:27 left.
Niang's open bucket with 7.2 seconds sealed it for the Cyclones, who missed 8 of 12 free throws in the second half.
Jaye Crockett had 19 of his 23 points in the second half for the Red Raiders (13-12, 5-7), who outrebounded Iowa State 40-30 but also had 13 turnovers against 11 assists.
"Iowa State is a team that you can't afford to make many mistakes against. They're very efficient," Texas Tech coach Tubby Smith said. "We fought and we got ourselves back in the game. Rebounding and second shots helped us a lot. But in the end, we just didn't get the job done."
Texas Tech opened Big 12 play with an 11-point home loss to Iowa State last month and went on to start 2-6. The Red Raiders got turned around with three straight victories and were looking for their first four-game winning streak in the Big 12 in nine years.
Even though Tech fell short, it put one heck of a scare into the Cyclones.
The Red Raiders cut a 51-33 deficit down to 53-48 by scoring 15 points in less than three minutes – and Iowa State forwards Melvin Ejim and Dustin Hogue each picked up their fourth fouls with just under 10 minutes left.
"We took a couple plays off when we got up 18," Kane said. "Give them credit. We were fortunate to get out of there with a win."
Tech completed its comeback with a layup from Crockett that put them ahead 62-61 with 3:02 left. But Iowa State answered with six straight points and survived despite a terrible afternoon from the free throw line (9 for 19).
Toddrick Gotcher had 14 points for Texas Tech, which fueled its comeback in part by shooting 20 of 24 from the line.
"I saw some faces in that huddle when they were making that run that suggested a little bit of bad body language," Hoiberg said. "We pulled it together. Georges made some big plays for us down the stretch. Matt (Thomas) made a big basket…and DeAndre made a lot of big plays for us."
After allowing 102 points to West Virginia in a blowout loss on Monday, Iowa State's main directive this week was to improve its defense.
The Red Raiders got what they wanted early on – and for key stretches in the second half as well.
But Monte Morris found Kane for an alley-oop dunk, and Morris maneuvered through four Red Raiders for an inside assist to Ejim. Naz Long, who had 14 points, then buried a transition 3 and Iowa State led 31-25.
Iowa State allowed just two baskets in the final 5:41 of the first half, and Niang's 3 from the corner with 19 seconds left made it 39-29.
The Cyclones opened the second half with a 12-4 run and looked set for an easy victory. Instead, the win proved to be among the toughest of the season.
"Happy to walk out of here with a win. But we still have a lot of work to do to get to that next level," Hoiberg said.

At a literary festival in New York City some years ago, I was introduced to a French writer who, almost immediately after we shook hands, asked me where I was from. When the answer was "Morocco," he put down his drink and stared at me with anthropological curiosity. We spoke about literature, of course, and discovered a common love for the work of the South African writer J.M. Coetzee, but before long the conversation had turned to Moroccan writers, then to Moroccan writers in France, and then, as I expected it eventually would, to Moroccan immigrants in France–at which point the French writer declared, "If they were all like you, there wouldn't be a problem."
His tone suggested he was paying me some sort of compliment, though I found it odd that he would want the 1 million Moroccans in his country to be carbon copies of someone he had barely met and whose views on immigration–had he asked about them–he might not have found quite to his liking. It was only later, when I had returned to my hotel room, that it dawned on me that the profile of the unproblematic Moroccan immigrant he might have had in mind was based solely on conspicuous things. Some of these, like skin color, were purely accidental; others, like sartorial choices or dietary practices, were in my opinion inessential, but from his vantage point perhaps they suggested a smaller degree of "Muslimness."
Was this man really suggesting that I was a more desirable immigrant because I did not look Muslim? We had started our conversation as two equals, two potential friends, two writers discussing literature, but we had ended it as judge and supplicant–the former telling the latter whether or not she would make a suitable immigrant. And why on earth did I not say something on the spot? Why did I not ask him what he meant? Instead, I had stared back at him with what I imagine was dumbfounded perplexity, and then changed the subject. Perhaps if I had confronted him I would have been able to remove the sting of the insult that had lain hidden inside the compliment.
In any case, the man's assertion was a purely theoretical speculation. In practice, there is little evidence that even inconspicuous Muslims are fully accepted in France, or elsewhere in Europe. This was made abundantly clear in September, when Le Monde released video footage from an encounter between Brice Hortefeux, the interior minister of France, and Amine Benalia-Brouch, a young Algerian-French activist. Hortefeux and Benalia-Brouch, who were both attending the summer congress of the center-right party Union pour un Mouvement Populaire, were asked to pose for a photograph. A female onlooker touched Benalia-Brouch on the cheek and, in a voice ringing with approbation, said, "[Benalia-Brouch] is Catholic. He eats pork and drinks beer." "That is true," replied Benalia-Brouch, smiling. "He is our little Arab," the woman continued. Hortefeux added, "Very well. We always need one. When there's one, that's all right. It's when there are a lot of them that there are problems."

Past Event
A National Summit on Strategies to Manage Herbicide-Resistant WeedsBoard on Agriculture and Natural Resources
Jack Morton Auditorium, Media and Public Affairs Building, George Washington University
805 21st Street NW Washington DC
The NRC hosted a one-day, open national summit of weed scientists, agronomists, and ecologists, along with representatives of federal and state research and regulatory agencies, the crop protection industry, and agricultural producers, to consider a coordinated strategy for managing herbicide-resistant weeds in the United States. This summit will address:
|environmental implications of herbicide-resistant weeds
|best management practices for addressing herbicide resistance
|challenges to and incentives for adopting best management practices
Policy-makers, agricultural producers, herbicide manufacturers, agronomists, and weed scientists can benefit from and contribute to these discussions.

Workshop Summaries Resulting from this Event
Since their introduction in the 1940s, herbicides have helped farmers control the spread of weeds in their fields, saving them the money and time it would take to remove weeds using labor-intensive manual methods. Over this time, some weeds have evolved herbicide resistance--the naturally occurring ability to survive treatment at a normal field dosage of the herbicide. But now, with tens of thousands of farmers using herbicides for weed contro... More >>

Afghan Senator Rouh Gul Khairzad and her family were ambushed by Taliban on Wednesday in the Ghazni Province of Afghanistan. Khairzad's daughter as well as her driver were killed, and Khairzad and her husband were seriously injured and taken to Muqur District Clinic for treatment. There is no word about the senator's condition in the hospital. Senator Khairzad with her husband and family attempted to go to their home province Nimroz from capital city Kabul for Muslin holiday Eid. The ambush took place between Nimroz and Kabul on the main highway in Ghazni province. Ghazni is one of the provinces where the Taliban has a strong present.
Zabiullah Mujahid, Taliban's spokesman could not confirm or deny the responsibility of this attack and "saying it was hard to obtain information from the area." On Tuesday, Mullah Mohammad Omar, a Taliban leader, publicized a massage related to Eid and said that he wants a better relationship with the world and would support "modern" education and will respect ethnic and religious communities in Afghanistan.
Nicholas Haysom, the UN Secretary-General's Deputy Special Representative for Afghanistan and acting head of the UN Assistance Mission of Afghanistan, said in a statement "We condemn this attack in itself - but what makes it worse is that it took place on the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr, a time of peace and goodwill."
According to Associated Press, Khairzad was elected in upper house in 2010, and she is also the head of the defense and internal security commission.

"IBM likes to go on and on about the transaction processing power and I/O bandwidth of its System z mainframes, but now there is a new and much bigger kid on the block.

Traders were hoping Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke would provide some volatility yet instead he seemed to bring stability. What fun is that? Of course at the end of his testimony he seemed to suggest that the economy would tank without him. Ok maybe he did not put it quit that way but the message told to the House Financial Services Committee was that "If we were to tighten (monetary) policy, the economy would tank."
So in other words Mr. Bernanke is telling us something that we already really knew. That this so called economic recovery is not really a recovery at all but life support from easy money policy. While the Fed would like to slowly start tapering off the drug that is keeping us in this recovery haze, a removal of the drugs and having to face reality would be nothing but a crashing downer. Without Ben and his policy of quantitative easing we would be doomed, so we need to stay in this medicated state basically until further notice.
Of course others will argue that the problem is not the disease but the cure. By keeping the economy doped up and happy some might suggest that we will not be forced to fix the underlying causes of the great recession in the first place. That by being in a constant state of hallucinogenic QE that we will never get to the crux of the problem and fix what really is wrong in this broken economy. The banks will continue to get rich and stocks will go up but where are the jobs? Of course that argument is probably a moot point.
What is not a moot point is U.S. refinery runs. The Energy Information Administration reported that crude runs at U.S. refineries have increased steadily since early March to reach some of the highest levels on record. At 16.1 million barrels per day (bbl/d) for the week ending July 5, U.S. crude oil runs were the highest for any week since 2007. This level represented a 2.1-million-bbl/d increase from the first week of March, the low point for the first six months of 2013. While the increase in crude runs since March reflects a particularly strong rebound from spring maintenance, an underlying combination of recent refinery capacity expansions and relatively healthy margins helped drive the absolute level of runs to a multiyear high.
The EIA says that both the steep ramp-up in runs and the high absolute level in early July were driven by refiners in the Gulf Coast (PADD 3) and Midwest (PADD 2) (Thank You BP Whiting). The Gulf Coast is home to more than 50% of U.S. refining capacity, and thus is often the key determinant of U.S. refining trends. Typically, the Gulf Coast, along with the West Coast, sees the country's earliest refinery turnaround season. In 2013, Gulf Coast runs reached their seasonal nadir the week ending March 1 at just under 6.9 million bbl/d, as several big facilities in the region underwent maintenance, including Lyondell's Houston refinery, Western's El Paso refinery, and Valero's Norco, Louisiana, facility. As facilities began to return from maintenance, Gulf Coast runs increased significantly. In each year from 2008 to 2012, Gulf Coast refiners ramped up crude runs by an average of 860,000 bbl/d from their first-half low point (which ranged anywhere from late January to early April) through the first week of July. This year, however, Gulf Coast runs increased by a staggering 1.6 million bbl/d, to reach 8.5 million barrels per day for the week ending July 5, down only 30,000 barrels per day from the record set the previous week.
The EIA says that to a large extent, record high Gulf Coast crude runs can be attributed to the new distillation capacity at Motiva's Port Arthur plant and relatively robust margins for the area's refiners. In June 2012, Motiva commissioned a new 325,000-barrels per day crude distillation unit at the refinery, but shortly thereafter, it encountered operational difficulties and was shut down for several months. With that expansion now fully operational, Gulf Coast operating distillation capacity stood at more than 8.7 million barrels per day as of Jan. 1, 2013, up more than 180,000 barrels per day from a year earlier. In addition to higher capacity, Gulf Coast refineries are also running at very high levels of utilization, nearly 94% on average for the four weeks ending July 5.
Because of that big historic run rate the market seemed less concerned about the drop in crude supply. Maybe because the market is seeing supply as more than ample despite the sharp drop from historic levels. The EIA reported that U.S. commercial crude oil inventories (excluding those in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve) decreased by 6.9 million barrels from the previous week. At 367.0 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are in the upper half of the average range for this time of year. Total motor gasoline inventories increased by 3.1 million barrels last week and are well above the upper limit of the average range. Both finished gasoline inventories and blending components inventories increased last week. Distillate fuel inventories increased by 3.9 million barrels last week and are in the lower half of the average range for this time of year. Propane/propylene inventories increased by 0.6 million barrels last week and are in the upper half of the average range. Total commercial petroleum inventories decreased by 0.2 million barrels last week.

It pains me to help a Roots player, but I would say your problem is you don't have enough big threat nukes. This leaves you in a position where you most likely need to win three rounds to win the match if you don't win with, or draw, Gretchen. Also, it means you probably can't afford to bluff with Gretchen if you DO draw her. I would replace Burdock (You are already crippling them with SOA and att manip, don't worry about all stops) with either Lilly or Amanie (don't see these a lot so the obscurity factor might work in your favour, too), OR switch out Burdock for a 5* and ditch treeman for another attack manip, like Jeto, or heck even another obscure card like Walden (who actually increases the potential damage of your deck). Both will force at least 2 pillz in most situations.
I feel dirty now...
AmberRed1994 Senior Stay Humble or be Humbled Tuesday 12/03/2013, 14:08
I'm thinking:
Your cards are pretty well-rounded but I feel, it's lacking in both damage and power. What do I mean? Well...
Power-wise, the cards you'd be relying on will be Tuck, Rico, Burdock, Gertjan to actually win rounds. These cards are at a disadvantage in relatively higher pill fights against All Stars or Ulu Watu. But that's OK.
The highest damage you can deal for your cards is 5, and only 3 cards do that 5 damage. This means that without Jeena as your meat shield/surprise damage or Gretchen as your healer you'll be in a disadvantage against cards that can hit pretty hard at around 7 to 8 (that's actually very common) damage and you'll have to think very hard to counter said high damage cards, predicting when they'll be played and so on.
You can try winning 3 out of 4 rounds, although that isn't a very plausible strategy to rely on. I'd suggest more damage. Amanie will win my vote for this, over Burdock. I also second Nomi Ld's suggestion on having Ojibway, although I haven't played Ojibway very much to judge yet.
Lastly, have you considered going dual? You may miss out on Roots' precious bonus in a 1:3 or 0:4 split, but the only perk of playing Roots in mono is a constant supply of SoA (which can be bad against Stop: Ability cards) and the +16 attack from Gertjan.
Don't trust me too much on my advice, I'm NOT an elite Roots player. On the contrary, I'm actually a pretty weak player. If my advice helps though, feel free to take it.

I didnt found way, how can I copy file from tar to another tar without write files to disk.
Can you help? I think need pipe, but how?
tar -cf – <source directory> | (cd /<target directory>;tar -xf -)
Moving to Programming and Scripting for better answers...
Arch + dwm • Mercurial repos • Github
Registered Linux User #482438
I don't see this as possible. You can extract the file to stdout:
tar xzf --to-stdout source.tar.gz some/file.txt
But to create/append an archive, tar needs to know both the meta data (filename, permissions, owner, group etc) and the content of the file, which can't be passed through a single pipe together.

Are you familiar with our Forum Rules and How To Ask Questions The Smart Way?
how can I copy file from tar to another tar without write files to disk.
Why do you want to do this? I agree with fukawi2 that it is probably impossible. Do you want to avoid temporary files for efficiency reasons? /tmp is a RAM disk these days, so extracting a file there is going to be very fast.
Officer, I had to drive home - I was way too drunk to teleport!
Hello, thanks. Because I have some of tar from android, and I want mass them. I don't want extract, because of meta tags are changing. What can I do? Thanks
So if I understand correctly, you have several tar files from a different system and want to combine them to one big tar file containing all their contents. Right?
Have you tried the -A / --concatenate option of tar? I have never used it, but it looks like this is what it's for.
I am not entirely clear on what you mean by "meta tags". If you mean file system metadata like owner and group, you could use the --same-owner option when extracting (and create a different tar file of everything afterwards). This will probably require being root.
Officer, I had to drive home - I was way too drunk to teleport!
Thanks. I probed to concatenate but the size is doubled. Only I could to extract with. sudo tar --same-owner option, this seems to good, and than update the lastest package. But after the updated package owner is changed to root:root if I asked with tar -tvf option.
Im sad, but at now I never mind.

Safeway Receives National Animal Welfare Award
America's second largest grocer recognized for its work improving animal welfare in its supply chain
Safeway received the Henry Spira Humane Corporate Progress Award from The Humane Society of the United States. The grocery chain – the second largest in the country – earned the award for its work in 2013 to end the extreme confinement of pigs in its supply chain.
In the pork industry, most breeding pigs are confined for virtually their entire lives in immobilizing gestation crates.
Matt Prescott, food policy director for the Humane Society of the United States, said: "Safeway has been a leader on tackling many of the worst farm animal abuses in food production for a decade. We believe in offering credit where credit is due, and Safeway certainly deserves some for showing the pork industry that gestation crates have no future."

Actually, I would have preferred it if the Republicans had not tried this stunt. Eastwood is combining some solid common sense and some pretty good humor, with some howlers and poor taste.
My position on actors in politics is the same regardless of which party tries to use them. They shouldn't have speaking parts at this high level.
But right now, the real question is how Eastwood went over with the national audience. Well enough, is my guess.

Face it. We all have "bad days," those days in which nothing goes right, we can't shake the funk we are in and the nasty little voices in our heads keep picking on you.
Negative self-talk is a big problem on days like that. Negative talk is a smelly mix of half-truths, illogical ideas about yourself and distortions of reality. They are usually caused by negative emotions like fear, guilt, anxiety, pessimism and other destructive behaviors.
Sadly, for some of us, it has become our daily inner dialogue. You aren't alone.
Luckily, replacing that negative self-talk with positive talk and a positive attitude is possible, but, like everything else, it's something you have to work at every hour, every day.
While you do that, here are 8 ways to feel good instantly:
1. Do something to help another. It's been proven that helping others is an instant mood booster that makes you feel worthwhile and happy. Whether it's volunteering in The Salvation Army Food Pantry or Red Shield Kitchen, helping an elderly neighbor with shopping or even giving a stranger a hand, helping others makes you feel better about yourself.
2. SMILE. – Your body sees no difference in physical responses and emotion. For example, if you slouch, then you may feel a little less energetic than someone with good posture. On the same wavelength, if you smile – even if you don't feel like it – your emotions respond. Your mood begins to improve. It's a "fake it until you make it" approach that works.
3. Be Grateful. It's prevent that those who take the time to be grateful for what they have lead happier, more satisfied lives. Every day, give thanks – and FEEL GRATEFUL – for at least five things. It can be as simple as "I'm grateful that I have hot water to shower with" or as grand as "I'm grateful for my children and the joy they bring." Working here at The Salvation Army, we see so many who are lacking the basic necessities. I'm thankful I can afford food for my family, a roof over my head and the ability to help others – there's a lot of folks who cannot say that.
4. DECIDE to be happy. Being happy is a conscious choice. It's just as easy to be happy as it is to be unhappy. All it takes is a shift in perspective. Do whatever it takes to find your joy and then keep yourself there. The higher level of happiness you can create within you, the greater the change you will see in your life.
5. Move and Exercise. A quick pick me up is a brisk walk. Maybe a set of jumping jacks. Grab a yoga class. Play with your dog outside. Walk around your office building. Tumble around with a child. Moving and exercise do wonders to boost a mood.
6. Listen to upbeat and happy music. According to DiscoveryNews.com, listening to moving music causes the brain to release dopamine, a feel-good chemical. That's why upbeat, happy music you love always gives you a boost of energy and joy.
7. Unclutter. Those piles of paperwork and dirty laundry can make a bad day feel even more frantic. Set an alarm for five minutes and clean up the space around you. Unclutter your area, and your mind follows suit. Having a manageable space can instantly make you more relaxed.
8. Breathe it in. When stressed or unhappy, take 10 minutes to focus on the feeling of deep breathing. Be aware of the air moving in and out of your chest. This creates a relaxation response in your body and slows the heart rate.
So, next time you are feeling bad or down in the dumps, take a moment to do one or all of these mood boosters. And remember, at The Salvation Army Central Oklahoma Area Command, we'd love to have your smiling face volunteering or donating with us!

Clinical Storm dispatch of plucky Cowboys
The Melbourne Storm showed why they are the true premiership favourites, making a difficult trek to Townsville look easy as they downed a resilient Cowboys outfit 32-10 at 1300SMILES Stadium overnight in front of 19,288 fans. Cooper Cronk was the star man for the Storm, scoring two and setting up two more to show he's every bit capable of matching it with the newly re-signed Johnathan Thurston.
Commentators had challenged the Storm's ability to be up for the game after making the long trip north, and with a less than perfect performance last weekend against the Dragons Cowboys fans had reason to hope their team could make it three wins in three years against the best side in the competition.
It looked like coach Craig Bellamy had sent the Storm back to basics early on, as they sought to slow the tackle and play direct with hooker Cameron Smith leading the way. Suitably it was one of their old favourites that drew them first blood, as Smith went outside to Cronk who found a flying Ryan Hinchcliffe on his hip. The hooker-cum-backrower showed a surprising turn of pace to streak away, easily outrunning Antonio Winterstein in defence to score in the corner. Smith split the posts with his sideline effort and it was 6-0 to the Storm.
Knowing that it would be a tough night at the office if they sought to beat the Storm's intensity the Cowboys instead looked to roll with the punches and then get straight onto the counter-attack, and after going close in their first set after being scored on - with the assistance of a penalty and a repeat set close to the Storm line - it was off an error that they struck back, less than 10 minutes later.
The Storm went to the short side through five-eighth Gareth Widdop, and after initially finding some space the ball spilt free. Johnathan Thurston, a constant in the Cowboys' cover defence all night, pounced on the loose ball and was nearly able to put Ash Graham away. With the Storm defence still back-peddaling the Cowboys' general demanded the ball on the next play, shifting it the width of the field with a magical cut-out pass onto the chest of Antonio Winterstein. The winger was able to draw in fullback Billy Slater, offloading inside to centre Kane Linnett with no sense of self-preservation. Linnett was given a free run at the line and the Cowboys had hit back.
The Cowboys may not have been able to match the Storm's high pressure system but could've done without gifting them prime field position, Glenn Hall earning the ire of coach Neil Henry when he left behind a simple pass 20m out from his own line. The Storm nearly made the Cowboys pay with more than just points, as after going short-side to the left they swung it across the field to give right winger Matt Duffie a chance at the line. It was strong defence from the Cowboys in that set, but fans were instead left heart-in-mouth as Thurston was left prone on the ground after his cover-defensive effort.
The Cowboys were back on the attack soon after though and a sick and sorry Thurston was able to rejoin the line. The Storm quickly learnt that he was sore but no less skillful, as he produced another sublime cut-out ball to again find Antonio Winterstein in space on the left edge. The young winger this time backed himself for the line and looked to have finished well, but the efforts of Matt Duffie saw his toe tickle the sideline prior to grounding the ball.
19288 spectators at 1300SMILES stadium saw end to end play for the next 10 minutes, eventually a repeat set earnt off a Gavin Cooper knock-on breaking the deadlock. Uncharacteristic confusion reigned on the last tackle for the Storm, Slater left to put a stabbing grubber through behind the line for himself. In contest with Slater Cooper was unable to gather cleanly, and the Cowboys were put onto the back foot just 30m out from the line. They were never able to get their defensive line set, and when Cooper Cronk sliced through next to the posts it was a deserved 4-pointer to the halfback. Smith easily slotted the extras.
It was again soft defence up the middle that saw the Storm add more points soon after, as first Billy Slater and then Tohu Harris made huge ground down the centre of the field, scattering Cowboys defenders as they did so. Harris was eventually brought down 20m out from the line, but it was short relief for the home fans when Cronk's outside ball and some good finishing from Will Chambers saw him go over for the Storm's third try of the night.
The second half would've had the spittle flying from both coaches upstairs, featuring error after error from North Queensland and a run of penalties against the visitors. Both sides threatened early but it was the Storm who extended their lead, Cooper Cronk staying with the play and being rewarded with his second four-pointer when he benefited from an offload from Matt Duffie on the wing.
There was some consolation for the Cowboys as a long shift to the right put Ash Graham over for his third try in two games, but it was far too little, if not yet too late, until Will Chambers added his second to put the game beyond reach and Ryan Hoffman scored a trademark meat pie off a great hole-running effort in the dying stages to rub salt into the Cowboys' wounds, the premiership upstarts given a reminder that they have a long way to go, going down 32-10.
