The Schedule
Saturday, April 13, 2013
No. 13 UC Santa Barbara at No. 6 UC Irvine, at 12 p.m.
at Anteater Aquatics Complex
Sunday, April 14, 2013
No. 13 UC Santa Barbara at No. 9 Long Beach State, at 12 p.m.
at Long Beach State Campus Pool
Big West Conference Action This Week
After defeating No. 6 San Diego State University last weekend, No. 13 UC Santa Barbara (19-10, 2-2) looks to carry over its momentum into this weekend's conference action. UCSB will be on the road, first taking on No. 6 UC Irvine (16-8, 4-1) and then traveling overnight to face off against No. 9 Long Beach State (25-4, 4-2) the very next day.
Both matches have important implications as both are Big West Conference games. The Gauchos will be even hungrier for victory as the team suffered earlier losses this season to both the Anteaters and 49ers.
Freshmen Duo Leading the Offense
Freshmen, Samantha Murphy and Jessie Porter are continuing to prove their offensive talents as both are leading the team in goals. Murphy, who earned the title of Big West Player of the Week with her hat trick against San Diego State University, has tallied a total of 65 goals. Fellow freshman Jessie Porter is also having a very productive season with a total of 51 goals.
Anchoring the Defense
Senior leader Ruth Milne is leading the defense with her magnificent play as she has a total of 146 saves thus far in the season. Already the all time saves leader in Gaucho history, Milne now has a total of 1,138 saves throughout her collegiate career.
Closing Out the Season
After this weekend's action, the Gauchos will be back on the road next week as the team travels to face off against No. 14 Cal State Northridge, Friday, April 19 at 4 p.m. The team will then compete in the Big West Championship during April 26-28, at UC Irvine.

There was no shortage of those who believed this would be a five-game series.
Well, they might be right.
But it's Detroit with the 2-1 series lead and a chance to put the Blackhawks in a very deep hole if the Red Wings hold serve on home ice Thursday night and win Game 4 after they defeated the Hawks 3-1 on Monday night at Joe Louis Arena.
So much for flipping a switch.
No one wanted to hear it when the warning was sounded here for two weeks that it's tough to sleep through a playoff series and then suddenly turn on the power as needed.
But after a sluggish five games against Minnesota and two mediocre games with the Red Wings, the Hawks played hard in Game 3 and found it difficult to find their rhythm.
No one wanted to listen when Joel Quenneville said after Minnesota that the Hawks needed to raise their energy level to that of the other first-round series.
No one paid much attention when Jonathan Toews said the Hawks would need to play a lot better in the second round than they did in the first.
Mostly, it was the Hawks themselves who didn't heed those words -- and now they are in trouble.
And after losing two straight, the Hawks are a team lacking confidence, their customary speed and the ability to handle physical play, albeit against a team that is the least imposing postseason squad from a hitting standpoint.
So where do the Hawks go from here?
"We're gonna have to be better than we were tonight," Quenneville said, "but we were certainly a lot better today."
Game 3 was scoreless about eight minutes into the second period when Detroit scored twice and took control of the game.
Off a faceoff win in the Detroit zone, Damien Brunner chipped it over Nick Leddy to a speeding Gustav Nyquist, who made Brent Seabrook look silly as he slipped it backhand through Seabrook to his forehand, waiting patiently as he drew Corey Crawford down and out and fired it home from a bad angle for the first goal.
Only 31 seconds later, Michal Rozsival turned it over in his own end and Crawford made the first 2 saves from in close before Brunner knocked it in for a 2-0 Detroit lead midway through the second period.
It was still 2-0 in the third when Niklas Hjalmarsson plastered Johan Franzen deep in the Hawks' zone, and with Franzen sprawled out on the ice pretending to be hurt, Duncan Keith found Patrick Kane streaking down the ice.
Kane corralled a puck on edge and slipped it five-hole on Jimmy Howard to cut the deficit to 2-1.
Not long after, the Hawks appeared to tie at 2-2, but a bad call took the goal off the board as Andrew Shaw was ruled to have interfered with Howard.
"I disagree with that call," Quenneville said. "He didn't touch the goalie."
A minute later, the aforementioned Franzen seemed just fine as he hit Pavel Datsyuk in stride. Rozsival, who had a bad night, got a tiny piece of it as Datsyuk shot and it soared past Crawford for the goal that really sunk the Hawks.
"That was the biggest play of the night," said the Wings' Dan Cleary. "That was the backbreaker."
It took seven playoffs games plus two periods, but the Blackhawks finally found their sense of urgency in the third period of Game 3.
The good news is they played harder than they have at any time during the postseason and they dominated the final period. They hit iron three times and had a goal disallowed, and at times looked like the best team in the NHL, something that hasn't happened much during the postseason.
If they play with that desperation from the start Thursday night, they will come home with the series tied at 2-2 and they'll be back in control of the series.
If they don't, they can start thinking about cleaning off their golf clubs.

Kim Kardashian's Wedding Dress Sort Of Revealed
As you may have heard, the wedding of the
century decade year week happened last night in Montecito, CA, when Kim Kardashian said "I do" to basketball player Kris Humphries. The nuptials were conducted under massive wraps, with the bride and groom even banning cell phones and cameras among guests. People magazine has the exclusive on pictures, which will be released at the end of this week, but some crafty photogs managed to get their cameras in anyway.
Here's a look at the top half of Kim, at least, as well as her mom and two youngest sisters, courtesy of an E! photographer who was wearing, we have to assume, an invisibility cloak:

Cliff Lee Shuts-Out His Former Team
After choosing Philadelphia over Texas this offseason, Cliff Lee faced his former team for the first time since pitching in the 2010 World Series for them. The reunion appeared to be motivating, as Lee was on top of his game.
Over eight innings, Lee struck out 10 Rangers, allowed only five hits and did not give up a run. Lee has been the victim of a lack of run support this year, but it did matter this time as he kept the Rangers off the board.
The offense had another rough day, but they managed to squeak out two runs for Lee. Ryan Howard busted out of his slump with a solo homer and a single in the game. John Mayberry Jr. collected a two-out RBI single in the sixth for the Phillies second run.
Domonic Brown made his 2011 debut in right field. He got off to an ugly start in the first inning by grounding into a fielder's choice in which Jimmy Rollins was thrown out at second. Brown then was caught stealing afterwards. He later left the bases loaded with two outs by hitting a fly ball to end the fifth inning.
Another player who had a bad day was Raul Ibanez. He went 0-3 and hit into two double plays. The first one came with one out and a runner on third, which was really disappointing as a sac fly could have added on a run.
But even though the offense is still holding on by a thread, Lee pitched them out of trouble. He even tried to help out with a single and his first career stolen base. But the two runs on eight hits turned out to be enough.
After Ryan Madson closed the game, the Phillies walked away with a 2-0 win and a chance to sweep the series. The final game with the Rangers is Sunday afternoon at 1:35pm. Roy Oswalt gets the start. I will be there and return with photos.

Since our founding fathers are all spinning in their graves right now, might as well hook them up to generators and harvest the free energy [smbc-comics.com].
No need to disturb them. We have lots of cats and buttered bread [wikipedia.org] to do the same job.
LOL Just what we need, more tax payer subsidized, clean energy start-ups to fail while paying out huge year-end c-class bonuses.
Where the hell is my parachute???
These renewables are cheaper than nuclear and require far less subsidy.
I don't hear you whining and whinging about the entrenched systems trillion dollar windfall.
Because you're an ignorant arsehole with an axe to grind because, frankly, you have nothing else to do.
Rent seeking, meet regulatory capture.
What's worse is the wind turbines, perhaps because Ontario is in the centre of the continent, generate most of their power during the shoulder periods of power demand.
That doesn't matter, so long as the wind generation capacity you have is less than your fossil fuel capacity. As long as that's true, you can think of it almost like having a super-efficient storage method for the wind power your generate: you "store" it as unburned fossil fuel.
Only *after* your wind generating capability exceeds your non-renewable energy sources,does the wind power you can't sell "goes to waste". But then it was going to waste anyhow. You're still thinking of renewable energy sources like non-renewable ones. It doesn't matter if you don't capture and use every bit of a renewable energy source, because there's always more of it coming. What matters is can you make the dollars and cents work. It's quite possible for a 10% efficient solar array to be successful yet a 50% efficient one to be a financial failure. It depends on the cost of producing, siting, installing and maintaining the array vs. the value of the electricity it produces. The 90% of energy you waste with the inefficient cells doesn't matter; 100% was going to waste before you installed them.
It may well be that your government set up a bad deal, but that's just lack of financial acumen, not a problem with the technology.
It may well be that your government set up a bad deal
And of course, because they are Canadians, it is impossible that there is any corruption involved such as the politicians or their donors benefiting personally from the deal, Solyndra style. Yep, I guess they were just slightly stupid, it can happen to anyone. No harm done though, so there is no need too look for any accountability whatsoever or, God forbid, fire anyone. The taxpayers children will just have to eat a little bit less and everythin
seems like you don't really understand the purpose of subsidies. they are to encourage a fledgling industry and keep it up until it can stand on its own. there is considerable first-mover advantage in the energy business and even the hoops for connecting to the grid for a energy provider are high walls to new technology.
fit contract rates are different for wind and solar, and have been decreasing over time as a result of the evaluation of the cost changes over time. microFit was 0.80 per kw*hr for solar les
Citation needed for $0.80/kWh for wind. Even ridiculously overpriced wind farms elsewhere are at $0.20/kWh. Anholt Sea Wind Farm, widely criticized for having its proposal structured in such a way that there could only be a single bidder and therefore monopoly pricing, is at 1.05DKK/kWh or 0.19USD/kWh for the first 20TWh. 20TWh should be reached in approximately 13 years.
$0.03/kWh is only possible for nuclear reactors which have paid off their capital investment already and are only paying for maintenance. Wind power under the same conditions can produce at lower cost than that.
I don't believe they pay that much for wind, but they do for solar
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2011/10/31/ontario-renewable-energy-premiums-review682.html [www.cbc.ca]
$0.03/kWh is only possible for nuclear reactors which have paid off their capital investment already and are only paying for maintenance. Wind power under the same conditions can produce at lower cost than that.
Don't forget insurance costs. It's the main reason why the building of new reactors has been slow even before Fukushima. Because of this, I doubt new reactors with new insurance plans will ever reach $0.03/kWh... They might be safer by design, but I doubt the insurance companies will cut their prices a lot because of this. They're more likely to adapt a "wait and see" attitude.
Insurance depends on how much the government requires. AFAIK no nuclear power plant has a commercial insurance policy which would cover a Fukushima-size accident; they all rely on the government. Tepco was covered for third party liability for only $1.5 billion. Just to add to the fun, the coverage did not extend to accidents caused by natural disasters... Tepco estimates that the cost of cleaning up and paying compensation is 10 trillion yen, $125 billion. I am not sure the entire insurance industry is up
Maybe they were factoring in the actual cost of nuclear, after all the subsidies and insurance the government provides. You could also look at it as an investment, like building a particle accelerator that may not necessarily generate big profits directly but will let you develop technology that does. Wind is already a big industry, and if you want in on the ground floor you better hurry.
when politicians seek to tax them.
Wind power is and will be taxed like any other income. They're getting a break up front on capital expenses because policymakers have reasons other than private profitability to have secure domestic sources of energy.
has become the US Congress. Never have I seen so many get paid so much to do so little. They better wake up soon, otherwise a torch bearing mob may did it for them.
Worry not for them, there's already FBI+DHS+police+banksters infiltrating that torch bearing mob.
With their own torches that they'll use to set fire to stuff, so they'll have an excuse to arrest the lot.
has become the US Congress. Never have I seen so many get paid so much to do so little. They better wake up soon, otherwise a torch bearing mob may did it for them.
We need to push them off the physical cliff!
No, the enemy is the Republican majority in the House and their filibuster-abusing minority in the Senate.
The Dems have their problems (and they are legion) but they're nothing like the GOP.
I can agree with you about the Republican Majority in the house being a problem, but the problem in the Senate is Harry Reid and the Senate leadership. There is no excuse for the Senate not passing budgets anymore, that blame falls at Harry's feet.
Because the Ryan budget is a joke. It's a thumb in the eye that won't even solve the budget shortfalls.
There's no point even voting on it, since it won't pass. That's called a "waste of time", much like the House voting to pass it thirty-odd times when they knew every time that it wouldn't pass the Senate or the White House. It's a joke, and it's on us.
I think I'd rather pay them more to do even less. Seems like most of the problems come from when they do just about anything.
Yes, I agree. Sequestration is the more accurate term that was used when the idea was first proposed.
However: the 24 hour media engine needs it's narrative, both major parties need something that "went wrong" that can conveniently be blamed on the other, and the wealthy really want to keep their excessively low effective tax rates(not that we're fixing capital gains). This stupid "emergency" is a natural consequence of a bunch of people with something to gain.
That is not to say the particulars of the "debate" are all completely OK. For example, those in congress who wish block the debt ceiling again can indeed crash the bond market, if they push it too far.
"It's just another made-up name to mislead and / or scare the bejeezus out of people. "
All the cliff is is the resumption of normal tax rates before 2002 that the reductions of same were supposed to be very temporary to alleviate problems at the time, not go on for decades and the damage that it has caused. The spending cuts are just to make up for the overspending for two unwanted wars and contractor corruption running parallel to them without raising taxes to pay for it. Never mind t
Everyone under the sun is racing to get deals done before the new year. It's not just one tax credit.
Could be a problem........
From The Telegraph:
"Wind farm turbines wear sooner than expected, says study
The analysis of almost 3,000 onshore wind turbines — the biggest study of its kind —warns that they will continue to generate electricity effectively for just 12 to 15 years.
The wind energy industry and the Government base all their calculations on turbines enjoying a lifespan of 20 to 25 years.

The report (link to report proper is in the page linked above) was put together by "The Global Warming Policy Foundation" - a known organization of AGW denialists. It speaks volumes that the only sites that reference the report as an authoritative source are other AGW-denying blogs and websites. Combined with the fact that the report you cite flies contrary to dozens of other reports and technical analyses, you should be really quite suspicious about an ulterior agenda.
Oh yes it's obvious because we all know that wind turbines are really were so great they don't need all of that corporate welfare to operate profitably; oh wait they do, realy businessmen won't even build them without a government bribery.
They are not struggling over anything. It's just a big Dick waving contest. With the largest Penis, Mister Speaker of the house, Boner him self, causing most of the problems.
than see Obama administration blow the money into the air in order to pay-off their political base by diverting the United States investment on the failed bankrupted green-energy companies such as Solyndra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solyndra) and many others.

" failed bankrupted green-energy companies such as Solyndra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solyndra) and many others. If the energy source is non-viable economically and market can not support it"
You do know Solyndra and many of the other failed companies were started under Bush right? Executive corruption and Chinese dumping on our markets sunk them more than any mistakes by the Obama administration. Economic viability means very little in a monopolistic market where small players get
People like to make a big deal of of Soklyndra but the failure rate of these government supported green companies is actually quite small: http://money.cnn.com/2012/10/22/news/economy/obama-energy-bankruptcies/index.html [cnn.com]
Also, the reason Solyndra went belly-up is because China started their own initiative and dumped $4 billion into solar panel development, which they then dumped on the market for dirt cheap. And by dirt cheap, they went from $400/kg to $40/kg in three years time.

Selecting lunch gear used to be simple. Stuff your lunch into a paper bag or pick the box decorated with the latest movie, television or toy character. Done.
Things are a bit more complicated today. Lunch box styles vary from soft-sided cooler bags to Japanese-inspired bento boxes, even Indian tiffin canisters. They can have built-in ice packs. They can be microwaved. They can be forged from 18-gauge stainless steel. So how do you choose?
Much depends on the types of foods you pack and how you pack them, as well as when and where you eat them. But here are some general tips:
- Dishwashers rule
If it isn't dishwasher safe, don't buy it. Even if you don't use the dishwasher, this tells you something about the quality and durability.
- Multiples matter
Get more than one of everything. This makes life easier on those days when you forget or don't have time to wash the gear used the previous day.
- Lunch boxes
Soft-sided insulated cooler bags are the way to go. They are affordable and come in all shapes and sizes. They also are durable and easy to clean. Look for one with two compartments. This makes it easier to segregate items.
- Drink bottles
Even if all you pack is water, an insulated drink bottle is a good idea. They also give you the flexibility to pack warm or cold drinks.
- Food containers
These are the jars, boxes and other containers in which the food goes. Be sure to get a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate different foods. At least some should be watertight for packing liquids.
For a budget option, go with plastic food storage containers, which are cheaper to replace if lost. If you don't care for plastic, there also are plenty of stainless steel options.
- Thermoses
It's best to have two: a conventional thermos for soups and other easily spilled items, and a wide-mouthed jar for larger foods, such as warm sandwich fillings. When selecting a thermos, be sure to check its thermal rating, which indicates how long it will keep items hot or cold.
Perishable cold foods must be kept below 40 F. Hot foods should be held above 140 F. Once the temperatures go outside these ranges, the food is safe for another two hours.
- Utensils
This is not the time to break out the good silverware. But I'm also not a fan of disposable plastic, which breaks easily and has a lousy eco footprint. Instead, grab some inexpensive stainless steel utensils at the bargain or secondhand shop.
- Ice packs
Even if you're using an insulated lunch bag, an ice pack is a good idea. Get several so you always have one ready. I prefer rigid packs rather than soft. The soft ones puncture more easily and can freeze in odd shapes.

The stretch of Orchard Lake Road that runs underneath the Phoenix Center reopened Thursday after being closed for more than a year and a half due to damage to the garage's electrical system that plunged the road into darkness.
The parking garage's future remains in litigation between the city and the neighboring Ottawa Towers, who paid for new lighting and other repairs in the underpass.
Mayor Deirdre Waterman said the road closure had to be dealt with separately from the lawsuit in order to end the inconvenience for drivers.
"I decided it was necessary to separate the two and do what was necessary to get the (underpass) open so people could travel more easily," she said.
Waterman shook hands with City Council President Patrice Waterman and then Councilman Randy Carter as they became the first to drive through the underpass after the barricades were removed Thursday.
Attorney Michelle Harrell said the lights have been back on over Orchard Lake Road since April 15, but the reopening was delayed due to the city's permitting requirements. The electricity for the lights comes from the Ottawa Towers and a backup generator has also been installed.
"We're very pleased the road was reopened for the community," Harrell said. "The reopening of the tunnel really does not provide a direct benefit to the towers, but the towers were solely responsible for paying for all the repairs to the lights in the tunnel."
The road was closed in October 2012 after scrappers removing copper from the Phoenix Center's electrical system did what was estimated as more than $250,000 in damage, cutting power to the parking garage, including the lighting over Orchard Lake Road.
The north side of the garage is vacant, while the south side continues to be used by Ottawa Towers tenants and employees.
The ownership of the Ottawa Towers, two office buildings that are adjacent to the Phoenix Center, sued the city after former Emergency Manager Lou Schimmel announced plans to demolish the Phoenix Center in 2012.
Schimmel cited annual deficits at the Phoenix Center and $8.1 million in repairs and upkeep needed over the next decade as reasons for the demolition. The Ottawa Towers' lawsuit asks for $9 million in damages in the event of a demolition.
The city has since filed a separate lawsuit to condemn the Ottawa Towers' easement rights on the parking garage, and Oakland County Circuit Judge Michael Warren has stayed the earlier case as the condemnation is litigated.
Waterman said she'd prefer to settle the legal battle outside the courthouse. The Phoenix Center is one of the policy areas now under the mayor's purview as part of a power-sharing agreement she reached with the state this spring.
"I want to have whatever happens to the Phoenix Center be part of a planned development and a logical (strategy)."
Harrell said her clients are open to negotiations.
"The towers have been willing from day one to try to find a resolution that helps us continue in business and also benefits the city. That's been our position from day one," she said.
"We've been construed improperly for the motives in our requests, but we remain willing."

2007-08 Men's Basketball
Bluffton 89, Adrian 63
Beavers finish game with 24-5 run for 89-63 win over Adrian
By: Brandy Bidlack, sports information assistant
December 15, 2007
BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University men's basketball team used its superior depth to wear down Adrian College on Saturday, Dec. 15, 2007. The Beavers used a 24-5 jag over the last 7:17 of the game to pull away for an 89-63 victory over Adrian College. The starters for Bluffton combined to play just over half the contest as the Beavers improved to 6-3 while the Bulldogs fell to 4-3 on the season.
Senior P.J. Juenger (Loveland/Archbishop Moeller) hit a trey on Bluffton's first possession of the game to give Bluffton an early 3-2 lead. Adrian rolled off eight consecutive points before Aaron Taylor (Antwerp/Antwerp) chipped in five straight to even the score at 10 with just under 14 minutes to play in the opening half.
Nate Overmeyer (Payne/Wayne Trace) put the Beavers back on top with a bucket from behind the arc. Using an assist from Josh Eichar (North Baltimore/North Baltimore), freshman Rob Luderman (Defiance/Ayersville) added two more points for Bluffton at the 10-minute mark.
The Bulldogs pulled ahead with a layup by Ryan Gallus and the Beavers trailed for the next six minutes until Josh Eichar and Aaron Taylor both went 2-for-2 at the charity stripe to put Bluffton on top, 38-35, with three minutes to play in the half. Eichar turned the ball over with five seconds left in the period, but he grabbed the ensuing inbounds pass at midcourt and buried a deep three-ball to give Bluffton a 43-37 lead at the break.
A layup by Nick Wilson (Continental/Continental) and two points from P.J. Juenger ignited the Beavers early in the second half. Colt Cunningham (Powell/Worthington Christian) knocked down a shot from behind the arc to up the Bluffton lead to 55-47. A steal by Nate Overmeyer allowed Eichar to drive to the hole for another easy hoop.
A jump shot from Jordan Pothast (Ottawa/Ottawa-Glandorf) increased the Beavers' lead to 78-60 at the 4:10 mark. Ben Shindeldecker (Ohio City/Crestview) fed Rob Luderman and Joel Miller (Sugarcreek/Berlin Hiland) came off a screen and buried a long triple with 1:23 on the clock, making it a 27-point advantage for the Beavers. A Cam Saylor (Belle Center/Benjamin Logan) drive finished off the Bulldogs, making the final score 89-63 in favor of the home team.
Aaron Taylor led the Beavers with 19 points on a dazzling 8-of-9 shooting performance from the field. He also pulled down a team-high six rebounds. Josh Eichar contributed a career-high 13 points, five assists, five rebounds, and two steals against the Bulldogs. Colt Cunningham also had 13 points, while P.J. Juenger, who was playing in front of his Bluffton Middle School class from student teaching, chipped in 12 points, six of which came on a pair of first half treys. Nate Overmeyer added seven points and two steals. Nick Wilson and Zack Kraus each finished with five points, while Jordan Pothast chipped in four points and Joel Miller had one trifecta. Cam Saylor and Justin Rufenacht (Wauseon/Pettisville) rounded out the scoring with two points each.
Junior Ian Weber paced Adrian with a 18 points and 10 rebounds for the game's only double-double. He was a perfect 9-for-9 from the field. Desmond Young and Ryan Gallus also hit for double digits with 14 and 12 points, respectively.
Bluffton finished the game 32-for-56 (57.1 percent) from the field, including 7-for-14 (50 percent) from behind the three-point arc. The Beavers shot 75 percent (18-of-24) at the free throw line, compared to the Bulldogs who made only 7-of-15 attempts for 46.7 percent. The Bulldogs won the battle on the boards (37-27), but Adrian turned the ball over 21 times, compared to 16 miscues by the home team.
The Beavers return to action on Tuesday, Dec. 18, when they travel to face Kalamazoo. The game is slated to start at 7:30 p.m.

Arsenal make the trip to Bradford City in the quarter-final of the League Cup, with manager Arsene Wenger expected to mix youth and experience at Valley Parade.
Wojciech Szczeesny will keep his place between the sticks, despite the return of Vito Mannone to the Gunners squad.
In defence, Carl Jenkinson will expect to replace Bacary Sagna after he picked up a knock against West Brom, with Per Mertesacker and Thomas Vermaelen providing the experience in the centre. Jernade Meade will hope for another senior Arsenal chance at left back.
In midfield, Abou Diaby is the only senior casualty through injury, whilst Nico Yennaris is also out. Tomas Rosicky and Aaron Ramsey are both likely to get the nod for the Gunners, with Francis Coquelin also coming into the midfield three.
Wenger has confirmed that Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott are both out of action for the Emirates Stadum outfit, meaning Marouane Chamakh will lead the line.
On the flanks, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Gervinho are expected to start, with youngsters coming off the bench to potentially make an impact if needed late on for Arsenal.
Arsenal predicted line-up v Bradford City:
Wojciech Szczesny; Carl Jenkinson, Per Mertesacker, Thomas Vermaelen, Jernade Meade; Tomas Rosicky, Francis Coquelin, Aaron Ramsey; Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Marouane Chamakh, Gervinho.

Sony's investment in first-party development is arguably their greatest asset. Sony owns over a dozen studios which have been responsible for some of PlayStation's most iconic franchises: Gran Turismo, Uncharted, God of War, Killzone, and LittleBigPlanet are just a handful of the games developed by in-house studios. These teams have undoubtedly been working on next-gen software, and their exclusives will play a big role in how successful the next PlayStation will be. Today, we take a look at Sony's first-party teams and make some guesses on what they could be working on.
Uncharted 4 is a certainty, but will Naughty Dog be at the helm?
Sucker Punch's next is likely to be brand-new
Evolution's next racer is rumored to be less extreme
Gran Turismo 5 was in development for over five years
Baseball. More of it.
Does Twisted Metal have a future on PS4?
Will PlayStation Home make a return?

Zinedine Zidane has hailed Zlatan Ibrahimovic as an 'extraordinary talent' following his four goal performance against England last night.
The Swedish striker not only helped his side defeat England by scoring all four goals in a 4-2 win over the Three Lions, but struck a contender for goal of the year with his final effort.
Ibrahimovic found the back of the net with an audacious 25-yard overhead kick to put the icing on the kick of Swden's victory that had looked in doubt after the visitors claimed a 2-1 lead having fallen behind in the first half.
Zidane says he was impressed with what he saw in Stockholm, and hailed the Paris Saint-Germain striker's efforts in scoring four times in one game.
"Ibrahimovic is an extraordinary player," said Zidane. "I never managed to score four in a game."
He added of Ibrahimovic's final goal: "It was magnificent - especially the overhead kick," said Zidane.
The France legend also had his say in his country's 2-1 victory over Italy last night, and said he was pleased with what he saw.
"They did the job. After [drawing a FIFA World Cup qualifier with] Spain they confirmed they are on the right track."
"It is not easy to win in Italy - I know that after difficult confrontations with Italy," he joked in reference to his sending off in the 2006 World Cup final.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – One would guess that Kevin Garnett was not a terribly popular player among Sixers fans, especially during the current series with the Celtics. His comments after Monday night's game 5 probably won't do much to change that.
From Ben Wantanabe at NESN.COM:
After the game, NESN's Jayme Parker asked Garnett to compare the fans in Boston to the ones in Philly. "Not even close," Garnett said. "You've got fans, and then you've got fair-weather fans. Take that how you want."
And he continued …
"[Celtics fans] it for 48 minutes from the tip on, so I can't see a difference from minute to minute," Garnett said. "I feel like every minute I look up, I see my family, I see people yelling, I see the drunk, fat guy. I can't decipher one from the other. This crowd is ridiculous. I love it."
As far as attendance in 2012, the Celtics were 7th in percent capacity (100%) and the Sixers were 18th (86.1%). The Sixers attendance figure is up from 29th place last season. The Sixers finished third in the Atlantic Division standings, and the Celtics finished first.
However, Garnett didn't play for the Celtics before their most recent string of championship caliber seasons that began when he and Ray Allen arrived for the 2007-08 season. In 2004, when the Celtics finished 4th in the Atlantic, their attendance figure ranked 15th in the NBA at 87%. In 2005, when the Celtics finished first in the Atlantic, they ranked 18th with a percent capacity of 85.9%. The Sixers ranked 7th and 15th in the league in '04 and '05.
In fact, in 2002, the first year that percent capacity figures are available, the Sixers rank second in the NBA at 100.6%, while the Celtics ranked 14th at 86.4%.
Perhaps Kevin Garnett has a point about Sixers fans, but when comparing them to Celtics fans, he should probably do his homework.
Rally For Schools On Rain Or Shine In Annapolis
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and city schools CEO Andres Alonso are scheduled to rally with students and parents against spending reductions for schools.
The rally is set for Thursday evening in Annapolis.
The current proposed state budget reduces $94 million for education statewide. Baltimore city would lose about $15 million of that.
Alvin Thornton, who chaired a commission on Maryland school funding reforms, is scheduled to speak at the rally.

text: PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles have hired Chip Kelly after he originally chose to stay at Oregon. Kelly becomes the 21st coach in team history and replaces Andy Reid, who was fired Dec. 31 after a 4-12 season. "Chip Kelly will be an outstanding head coach for the Eagles," owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement. "He has a brilliant football mind. He motivates his team with his actions as well as his words. He will be a great leader for us and will bring a fresh, energetic approach to our team." Kelly, who was 46-7 in four years at Oregon, interviewed with the Eagles, Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills after leading the Ducks to a victory over Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl. But he opted to remain at Oregon before changing his mind. The Eagles are known to have interviewed 11 candidates, including two meetings with Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley. Philadelphia has won only 12 games the past two seasons, after winning the NFC East in 2010. Kelly re-emerged as a candidate recently and an agreement was just reached Wednesday, league sources told ESPN.

After Right won out, the soldiers returned to their homes, their fields and their shops. Preference for talk of the long bloody battle faded and was replaced by the need for a coat of paint on the house, the weather and cracker barrel politics. A memorial was placed somewhere, where those who remember the dark days could pay homage, but soon too the grass grew high and the leafs of Autumn covered it, all while a new generation ran with boundless energy in the park nearby and soon the heroes were forgotten, with what had passed before living on in the result of deeds.
And the perfect setting for a new battle to foment on yet another front.
Look, it isn't called grok sco, it's called grok law. Why not re-purpose toward legal issues in general or at least some broad subcategory?
Look, it isn't called grok sco, it's called grok law. Why not re-purpose toward legal issues in general or at least some broad subcategory?
Well, if you read her mission statement [groklaw.net], she clearly said it was for SCO related stuff.
While we all appreciate the work that PJ has done
I never really read Groklaw, but from what I understand, they cover lots of issues outside that scope as well. In fact, it says so on the link you just posted.
While anyone can respect her desire to bow out (she's put tremendous effort over the years into the project), it seems wasteful to just say "It's over, I'm closing the site" rather than to say, look to name a successor if she wants to move on.
Other sites could spring up to cover the overlap of tech and legal issues, but why not use a site that's alre
It would seem that the site isn't going away but rather winding down the process of updating. They will complete their backlog of documents, publish, and then call it good. Book done; send it to print.
I see value in that. PJ did her thing by putting Groklaw together. It served its purpose and made its place in history. And as long as it stays online, people can come back to it as a reference. Passing on the reigns of the site to someone else would risk Groklaw becoming something different than what
The Idea of Groklaw has basically been handed over to the community. As far as the current site i think the number of Law|Business courses that reference the site would like to have a fixed site to reference. Plus i think running the site has come very close to killing PJ.
PJ pretty much says it all. In 2001 the battle was SCO fronted by Microsoft trying to destroy Linux. SCO was attacking IBM, but was also trying to take out Linux with FUD such as the $699 per cpu Linux license. The battle was on the desktop and in the server room. Groklaw was there, and combat the FUD and the community was able to defend Linux from SCO.
Now the battle is in the cloud and mobile space. Microsoft, no matter what conduit they work through is an attack on Google. Google is a large company with plenty of brains and money. They can take care of themselves.
There is truth to this, Groklaw relied on our collective memory of computer history from the 1970s to the end of the 1990's. If enough of us looked over the details SCO presented, we would notice where they got the facts wrong. This "community" will not be nearly as useful in the battle over the smartphone and the cloud.
All I can say is I enjoyed the site, it was quite a ride. Thanks PJ for keeping us geeks in the loop.
I'm actually relieved. How many focused advocacy groups, when their cause has won its primary battle, face the same choice, and instead say, "what can we do with this new-found power we (think we) have gotten for ourselves?"
A group that comes to mind right now fitting this is MADD, but so many groups kind of turn into activist HeLo cancers - they just won't die, and go on and on fighting at real or imagined windmills perpetually. MADD has won the war, but fights the battle still, going after smaller and smaller problems (or strawmen arguments) that in their mind are as big, if not bigger (today), than the original problem, even if they really aren't by most sane and sober evaluations.
But maybe this is the normal way of humans - we get the prize, and want more MORE! Is it enough for Altoids to have curiously strong peppermint candies? No, so they create curiously wintergreenier mints, curiously cinnamonnier mints, etc.
The Cold War is dead, so we need to create a new terrorism threat (that, honestly for the west, was far worse in the 70's and early 80's) to replace the Soviets & the Red Menace...
look. PJ was posting about the Hotz case only a few days ago. She was digging into details of Caliornia vs New Jersey computer law because Sony was trying to sue Hotz in California even though he lives in New Jersey.
Now she just vanishes?
There is -more going on here-. we might not be able to know about it, for years. but something smells wrong. Someone who is as brilliant and inquisitive as PJ doesn't just dump everything for no apparent reason. The site is not called 'SCOvsLinux', it is not called 'scovill
A group that comes to mind right now fitting this is MADD
I heartily concur. MADD is now a temperance union whose policies appear to be designed to progressively create a new de facto prohibition era, while creating a veritable police state through the use of checkpoints and mandatory breathalyzers.
It's common for people to create an organization to solve a problem when no solutions exist. Most of the time though those people keep going even after the problems have been solved. Greenpeace and PETA are examples. Their original goals were met and instead of going "ok we won", they just kept going. As they searched hard for relevance, their organizations become more radical and extreme in the process until they get to a point where they become a new problem.
It's nice to see someone actually be able to quit when there's no reason to still exist. I'm afraid groklaw would take the same route as it tried too hard to remain relevant.
I agree with your sentiment, but how can you even compare Greenpeace and PETA? Greenpeace is still relevant and still fighting for the same goal they originally started out with. I'd say they are more relevant than ever.
Maybe you meant Sea Shepherd, a PETA like organisation started by some people that got kicked out from Greenpeace because they were to radical?
>Greenpeace is still relevant
It became irrelevant when the French stopped nuclear testing in the Pacific. Now they're just attention whores.
It was also "all over" Slashdot...last week. Is this what happens when editors go on vacation?
... but it's worth posting here, but without the aliens.
Go on over to LWN and look at Florian's continued meltdown about how PJ isn't relevant and he is.
http://lwn.net/Articles/437650/ [lwn.net]
There's a lot said there that exposes Florian's true colors.
He heaps praise on the people who spread the most FUD about Linux. Robert Enderle, MOG, Dan "Lyin'" Lyons, and Ed Bott led the charge in the media against Linux. The only person he left out to praise was Rudy De Haas ("Paul Murphy" pseudonym). I'm sorry, but the list of above people have nothing worth listening to and his defense of them shows what side of the fence he's on.
Ah yes. FM is there in force.
Does he not realise that by always having to get the last word in weakens his position?
Then he has the gall to call Linus just plain Torvalds. IMHO, every time he writes that it must be through gritted teeth.
(There is not need to reply FM. You really don't have anything worthwhile to add to the debate. It has been said already.)
Florian's just a paid shill. who cares what he has to say? Hell, the people he listed are all paid shills. If you can't determine who is paid to feed you company propaganda and who is not, the battle is lost with you anyway.
If someone had told me in 1994 that Microsoft was responsible for the destruction of productive new technologies to preserve their bottom line, I wouldn't have believed them and would have disbelieved everything and anything they said afterward. There was tons of data out there alread
Nowadays, the scales are off the eyes of those who are paying attention. You still have to care, though. Same with Apple and Google et al.
Indeed. I'm an Apple fan and have been with them since the late 80s, but not so much a fanboi that I'm blind to their issues.
Bottom line: A big, massive organization with any significant influence and/or moving lots of money must always, always be watched. Apple, Google, Microsoft, MADD, the Gates Foundation, hell even the Red Cross and various multinational charity organizations. And of course government at all levels.
He seems to have no shortage of free time to sandbag most of that thread with ego-stroking PR and vapid credential assertions.
I find it more informative to look at which comments he doesn't respond to. Not even to say "that's false". The silence is deafening.
On a job well done. Many times the case was a PR campaign, and Groklaw painted the picture plainly from the legal briefs. Time to celebrate the victory, and victory it is, Its sad that a rogue bunch of idiots burned SCO to bankruptcy, as well as wasted a lot of time and money instead of improving a non-microsoft brand. But Groklaw stood as a beacon of clarity.
Thanks again, in honor of what you have done, and the standard you have set for others to follow.
Anyone can understand why P.J. would want to move on, but it's a shame! The legal complexities surrounding FOSS and patents and games that Microsoft and Google play seem to be getting more complicated, not less, than the days when SCO made it's bold and ridiculous claims. (At the point that SCO started its anti-Linux campaign, that company was already starting to whither.) There's some good work going on at Silicon Flatirons in Boulder by lawyers interested in tech. Maybe one of them will pick up the hole

Past play-off defeat spurring Italy on
Saturday 13 October 2012
Article summary
A member of the Italy squad which lost to Belarus in the play-offs two years ago, Luca Marrone is determined the same fate will not befall the Azzurrini again after their first-leg defeat of Sweden.
Article top media content
Article body
Luca Marrone is using the pain of Italy's UEFA European Under-21 Championship play-off loss to Belarus two years ago as the reason why the Azzurrini should not take a place in the finals for granted after their 1-0 first-leg victory against Sweden.
Similarly, team-mate Luca Marrone wants Devis Mangia's side to press home the "good chance" they now have of qualifying, and though Sweden coach Hakan Ericson expressed his disappointment at defeat, he is pleased the tie is still alive going into the decider on Tuesday in Kalmar.
Luca Marrone, Italy midfielder
We weren't clinical in front of goal, but we created a lot of opportunities and that is the most important thing. In the second half, maybe we were a little tired. In the second leg they will be very aggressive. They will go on the attack and we hope to use the space they leave. I was in the squad when we were eliminated by Belarus [in 2010] after winning 2-0 in the first leg at home. It's a bad memory. It was a lesson and made us understand that no game should be taken for granted.
Lorenzo Insigne, Italy forward
It was a good game, and we fought hard from the start to the final whistle. We were leading but always tried to score another. We missed a few chances, but this must motivate us even more ahead of the return leg. We travel to Sweden to play our own game and win. In the second half we waited for them to come out and hit them on the counterattack − that's why the game didn't have the tempo of the first half. We have a good chance to reach the finals after this victory − we don't want to waste the work we started two years ago.
Hakan Ericson, Sweden coach
I'm satisfied with our performance. Of course, I'm disappointed because we didn't manage to earn at least a draw, but Italy are a good team and they have a couple of very good players in their squad. We played well defensively but weren't good enough in creating enough chances to score, often missing the final pass. However, our objective was to come here and keep the tie alive for the return leg at home and we managed to do it.
Jiloan Hamad, Sweden captain
Italy started very well but then we had chances later in the game and finished better than them. I'm satisfied with the result. Italy slowed down a bit after taking the lead, giving us more space to control the game. It's difficult to say what made the difference today. Italy are a strong team, but probably we had too much respect for them. We had space to hurt them, but we didn't use it as we should have done. We can do much better in Kalmar – we are strong at home. Italy are a very good team, but they didn't scare us today. Now we know them better and we will try to exploit their weaknesses. We have nothing to lose.

The only way I'd go higher is I lengthen my struts from the bottom somehow to allow for a 30 inch tire. But for now I'm more focused on refining what I have. List for the future is as follows...
Alignment - Not showing any wear yet and drives perfectly straight, but I'm thinking the camber has gotta be adjusted. Thoughts???
Cut/weld/fit front push bar. (Or maybe fab one up/custom bumper)
Dual Range Swap - Make it more wheeling ready. Possibly more highway fuel efficient.
Skid plate up front. Maybe chop/weld the oil pan to tuck it in a little higher.
Exhaust work - patch a leak and again, tuck it up closer to the body.
More Stickers!
CB radio - anyone able to guide me through installation? Thrift store in Madison sells these for like $3.
Survival Kit
Weight reduction - (As available. Not going nuts.)

Finally found Lake Superior
Campsite for the first evening on the edge of "Lake in the Clouds"

Overlooked Falls
Trappers Falls
Namesake of this area.
Falls on the presque isle area.
The lady and I
Evening of Day 2
View from the tent the next morning. Lake Superior and frost.
Hiking out Presque Isle are day 3. We had a banquet to go to at her school that night so it was a brief day 3.
Still had it's rewards.

I have been looking for good deals on 215/75/15 tires. I'm really glad to finally see someone using that size so I can tell about what it will look like on my car when I finally get my lift put on. I have everything I need except tires. I have a nice set of 205 70 15 snow tires but I think they'll look too small once I get it lifted.

But yes, with just a strut/spring swap i don't think spacers are necessary. If I put about an inch more on such as a larger strut top spacers, I'd probably add the body spacers. As is, i don't want to sacrifice the ground clearance.
Posted 31 May 2012 - 11:04 PM
The only minor thing I may add are body spacers from a Legacy Outback, which I see you have no problems without them though. And I am also looking into a D/R transmission swap once I gather up more information on that.
I lifted mine using FXT struts and 1" strut top spacers, and the legacy spacers helped me. CV's don't click at full lock anymore. lowest point on my car is 8" and that's the cow bell hanging off the tow hitch haha
Our cars may look invincible, but when you get in the real deep stuff they run out of steam lol a D/R would definitely be handy and for sure in my future, probably distant future though sadly.
This thread has been an inspiration for my build, as well as a nice guide on how to get there. good job and keep doin what you're doin man
Posted 01 June 2012 - 08:27 AM
It's inevitable that I end up getting into mud around here. Also being able to crawl over rough terrain going very slow is a major plus with the D/R. I have one in my garage from an old GL that I used to have. I don't want to steal this thread for transmission questions, but can anyone direct me to a possible solution regarding the drive-shaft that gets around having to custom fabricate a longer one. I feel dumb that I have not found a solution on my own yet. To my credit, this lazy dial-up connection inhibits me from doing as thorough of a search as I would like to do.

I lived in PA most of life. Used to go wheeling my Toyota all over the coal region. We traveled out to Cameron County for some time in the mountains.
Trip pics.
Rear brake line busted in Akron Ohio on the way out. We left around 7 pm after work. Brake light came on, pedal got squishy. Had to use the e-brake to limp into a Napa Auto parts.
My girlfriend helped me do a hasty bleed on the line since i didn't have a wrench to open the bleeder screw on the wheel cylinder. Threaded the line in finger tight and had her stomp the pedal, then thightened it down while it was still squirting. Worked like a charm!
Whole thing cost us about 20 minutes (not including a breakfast stop at Bob Evans) And cost me a whopping...
Wildlife was all over. We saw 4 bull elk, 7 deer and a bear the first evening.
As well as a few critters.
Got out on the logging trails for some fun on the second evening.
Went through a huge T-storm on the return trip.
Sunset over Ohio on the way home. Got home tired, but relaxed around 1 am.
Great trip all around. Put a nice dent in the rocker panel and nearly got stuck in a muddy field. Dual range would be nice but for trail rides, the AWD does just fine. Put about 2100 miles on the car in 5 days.

looks like you had a ton of fun. I need to take mine on an adventure.
Heard you met up with Tom and are lifting his Legacy with my strut/spring set. We should get all 3 subes together after he's lifted and get some mud on the tires.

I haven't had a Legacy since Feb of this year. It was already lifted with Outback KYBs and Forster springs.
Bummer on the brake line, luckily you had a hand brake which worked. Mine never worked in the Legacy, I'd have more luck sticking my leg out the door lol. I think the parking brake shoes were gone.
Keaton's Legacy is pretty high, I was shocked to see the axles in an almost straight line.
I also heard there is a 6" lifted Baja running around. One of the Landcruiser dudes I hang out with knows the guy who built it. I have yet to see it.

This is a "new" Tom. I sold him a set of struts/springs a few days ago. I guess he bumped into Keaton that same day and got some wisdom for lifting his 95 wagon. I think he just joined the board a few days ago. So Wisconsin will have another lifted Sube in the near future.
6 inch lifted Baja would be sweet. I keep waiting to see something crazy in Madison. Every time I go up there I see Subaru's all over the place.
Posted 17 June 2012 - 05:07 PM
Yeah Madison does have the subies. Although I doubt any of them you be anything but stock, most of the people who own them in Mad-town as Liberals or Lesbians lol.
I actually saw a First gen coupe' coming back from Janesville sunday, how ofter do you see a 70s Subaru driving down the road eh? Some 20s dude was driving it, I should'a chased him down and see what he's up to.
Posted 18 June 2012 - 12:16 AM
And mines Kinda hard to miss driving down then road. . Now that makes umm...2 lifted subies in the Madison area. . And Tom's is a 95 wagon.
He says he's on here somewhere.....

Packed, loaded and ready to depart.
700 miles later, had a beast of a bonfire at the family cabin in PA. Burned up some branches down from the old willow tree in the back yard.
Picked some huckleberries (wild blueberries) on the mountain tops. Made great muffins.
Even though I live in the midwest these days, I still feel that this is a mountain car.
SCORE! Best PA has to offer!
Niagara falls! This was Kira's birthday gift to me. She bought us passes on Maid of the Mist.
It was a little damp and breezy to say the least.
Friendly's provided some tasty treats that evening as we headed east through rural NY.
Climbing ever higher.
Slept in the car in Oswego. Arrived in Canada the next morning.
Did a bunch of fishing over the next week. Kira out-fished me of course.
Got engaged! Proposed on a remote island with the help of my brother and sisters. Surprised her with a banquet dinner in the middle of nowhere.
It was in all ways a fantastic trip and a much needed break after a very busy season of work. More to come.

Picking up some struts for a friend of mine. There was an old light post foundation (Light post long gone) that I backed into. The car was just high enough that I couldn't see it in my rear view mirror. WHAM!
Nothing but a bumper scuff.

Kira and I said our vows on an island in the middle of the river that flows by our cabin in the Pennsylvania Wilds. The weather broke just before the ceremony began and the sun came out for most of the afternoon. Clear starry night by evening.
PA elk herd has been doing well.
Back for deer season. We had to burn the wood that had been used as the walkway to get to island.
Part of deer camp tradition is cutting firewood the sunday before the season opener.
And what hauls firewood from an island back to your yard with ease? A lifted Subaru!
Opening day I shot a 6 point buck around mid morning. Our freezer is now stocked with venison roasts, steaks and chops. Kira can make a mean venison stew too.
This was an extra special hunt because I harvested this deer using a home custom built single shot Russian Mosin Nagant 91/30 shooting a 7.62x54R bullet. The gun was purchased for a whopping $100. That rifle stock was carved by me using a $6. poplar board from Home Depot. The Scope mount was something I welded up in the shop and I had to modify the bolt on the action to clear it. A lot of work went into that rifle. My brother and I sighted it in at about 120 yards. It will continue to be refined but this buck was some very real "fruit" of my labor as I have an effective hunting rifle built from a WW2 antique.
Day 2: It snowed overnight. Which makes seeing deer easier and tacking more reliable should you pull the trigger.
That afternoon, my little brother shot this nice 9 point on the same mountain. I hiked in and helped him drag it out.
Officially one-upped by my bro and couldn't be happier!
Another guy in our group found this pair of elk sheds while hunting some of the lowlands. My brother is 6 foot tall to give you some perspective. PA elk are huge!
Heading home back to the flatlands.
Snappy's Coffee to stay awake for the 12 hour trek. Second only to Sheetz!

The Houston Chronicle highlights reinvention at The Clubs of Kingwood
Although it made a perfect backdrop for the classic Kevin Costner golf flick "Tin Cup" when it was filmed there in the mid-1990s, The Clubs of Kingwood near Houston needed a little tender loving care and help coming into the 21st century.
"We were seriously outdated, our dining room was literally a banquet room with banquet chairs and our bar consisted of two bar-stools that were at least 25 years old," said Director of Golf Darrell Fuston.
The Clubs of Kingwood is one of the world's largest private country clubs, therefore a significant amount of time and effort went into the reinvention; and ever since the Club's grand re-opening in November 2012, the changes have been very apparent.
"What stands out to me is how much different the place feels, and we haven't even gotten to our prime good weather time!" said Fuston.
The Club is located in Kingwood, Texas, a community in Northeast Houston, where a nice day never goes wasted by staying inside.
During the winter months, Members thoroughly enjoyed the new fire-pits and as the temperatures have been rising, the beautiful new outdoor covered and un-covered patios are beginning to see more traffic.
"What's cool is we're getting into our golf outing season and people who are not Members are coming in and their eyes are popping out," said Fuston with a laugh.
Golf writer Mike Bailey was wonderful enough to do both a before and after feature about The Clubs of Kingwood's reinvention in The Houston Chronicle.

Pop's patron saint of chill stays true to his ingratiating acoustic music on his sixth record. Johnson doesn't seem interested in stretching his sound with these 10 short songs. He continues to deliver enough melodic flair to support his earnest reflections on life's little epiphanies. Songs like "I Got You," with its simplistic sentiments ("I got you/ I got everything"), or "Never Fade" shouldn't work, yet Johnson's charm somehow makes them go down smoothly. He reconnects with producer Mario Caldato Jr., who helped guide 2005's solid "In Between Dreams." These songs have more dimension, as the best track, "Radiate," has a funky gait while "Tape Deck" swings delightfully. He still can come across as overly precious ("You Remind Me of You") and his worldview may not be for everyone, but you either take Johnson on his terms or not at all. (Out Tuesday)
ESSENTIAL "Radiate"

Randy Orton whines to open the show. Triple H and Stephanie interrupt. They book Orton in a match with Daniel Bryan tonight, and they tell him that they may have to consider Bryan the face of WWE if Orton loses. They also tell Orton he'll be facing other Elimination Chamber participants over the next few weeks.
^All the talking with these idiots opening the show has me bored, but THAT main event has me excited! I don't care how many times Orton and Dbry have one on one matches; they have amazing chemistry.
The Shield defeat Rey Mysterio, Kofi Kingston and Big E. Langston in a six man tag. Ambrose steals the tag when Reigns is about to do the spear and hits his finisher on Big E. for the pinfall.
^Solid six man match. The Shield should really be the Six-Man Tag Champions if such a thing existed today. Ambrose and Big E. could have some good matches down the line if they decide to merge those titles.
The Shield have some arguing after the match. The Wyatts pop up on the big screen and have some words for the Shield.
^That match is going to be excellent(assuming it doesn't get wrecked or changed).
Bad News Barrett tells the unhealthy fans that they'll probably be dead before next year's Super Bowl. Jerry Lawler gets on the mic and tells Barrett he has some bad news and hopes he won't be here next week.
^Random, but I assume Lawler is hinting towards a return of someone to beat down Barrett. Maybe they can beat him all the way back to his Corre/Nexus persona.
Christian defeats Jack Swagger with a rollup.
^It's refreshing to see a wrestling purist like Christian back on my screen. Swagger has never entertained me, but he can put on a decent match. This was just something nice to see for a change of pace, and one can assume that it's being used to enhance the Christian/Cesaro rivalry for the Chamber match.
Zeb Colter gives Swagger "tough love" after the match. Cesaro is ringside and he's not impressed with it.
^Split them up and make Cesaro the star that he deserves to be, please.
The New Age Outlaws defeat Cody Rhodes and Goldust inside a steel cage to retain the tag team titles. Billy pins Rhodes after a fameasser(after Rhodes moonsaults off the top of the cage and barely connects with Road Dogg).
^That was a fun match. I was surprised not to see problems developing between the brothers. I assume the Outlaws will end up dropping the titles to the Usos in the future, but for now their reign is actually refreshing despite their age. Those two can still go.
Titus O'Neil crushes Zack Ryder in a short match. The Miz comes out during the match and snags a headset. He's pissed that Titus is getting the spotlight.
^Titus is another big guy with a decent personality. I can see WWE doing a lot with him, and it looks like a feud with the Miz will be up first to put him over as a singles talent.
Fandango and Summer Rae Dance. It's a dance off. Santino comes out and chooses Emma(from NXT) from the crowd to dance. She does her funny dance and wins the contest. Michael Cole does the hand motions at the announce table and looks ridiculous.
^That was pointless, but I welcome Emma wrestling on the show anytime; she's got talent.
Sheamus defeats Curtis Axel with a brogue kick in a solid match.
^When Axel isn't trying not to stumble over his words on the mic, the dude can straight up wrestle. He's just like his father in the sense that he can tell a good story and execute moves almost flawlessly(perfect?). Good match here; nice to see Sheamus back putting on decent performances. I'm thinking Sheamus may get stuck in a feud with Ryback as we head towards Mania, and that doesn't intrigue me very much considering how limited Ryback is.
Batista comes out. Alberto Del Rio interrupts. They exchange words. They get physical. Batista gets the upper hand and Del Rio runs off.
^Looks like they'll be having that match at the Elimination Chamber ppv after all. I'm wondering if Batista will put his title shot on the line.
The Wyatt Family defeat Xavier Woods, R-ruth and Dolph Ziggler. Bray pins Ziggler after a sister abigail finisher.
^More six man action to put over the strength of the Wyatt Family. Those guys are talented, but eventually they'll need to do more as a faction and capture some gold. Nice uses in both six man matches of some talent lacking overall direction.
The Shield pop up on the tron after the match and have some words for the Wyatts.
^Same thing we saw earlier from the Wyatts. Nice feud enhancers. The match better deliver.
Alexander Rusev vignette with Lana. Pisses me off that ANOTHER big guy is being pushed with all the other talent down in NXT.
Naomi defeats Aksana. AJ is on commentary for the match with Tamina at her side. Alicia Fox tries to attack Naomi after the match, but Cameron makes the save.
^Naomi next to challenge for the title? Works for me. Nice to hear AJ talking more; the girl needs a microphone because she's got talent. Nice to see a divas tag team rivalry forming on tv; it's refreshing.
Daniel Bryan defeats Randy Orton in the non-title main event despite interference from Kane. Dbry hits the flying knee on Orton for the three count.
^As I expected, that was an excellent match. Anyone who doesn't believe Dbry is best performer in WWE needs to have their head examined. Do I believe WWE will push Bryan the way he deserves? No, I don't. BUT, at least for now we got to see an awesome match with the fans loving Dbry for his performance.
Kane and Orton beat on Dbry after the match. Kane chokeslams Bryan to end the show.
^Nice to put the heel heat on the Authority and Orton here. I'm curious what will happen with Kane now that his other rivalry vanished. Nice ending to the show.
For entertainment value and feud enhances, the show gets a 7/10. For wrestling quality, it gets a 9/10 from me. Taking the average, this was an 8 out of 10 Raw for me with no surprises or big spots. It was just a good clean wrestling show that delivered from start to finish. Thank you, WWE.
Thanks for reading!

It's official. Dismissed as a silly rumour by many, Nokia and Micorsoft have just announced a very comprehensive partnership in which Windows Phone 7 will become Nokia's prime smartphone platform. It goes a lot deeper than that, though. Update: Qt will not be available for Windows Phone 7. Qt will remain the development platform for MeeGo and Symbian. Update II: During its Capital Market Day event, Elop confirmed Nokia will not make a comprehensive MeeGo product line. It will be a platform to learn from, but it won't become a competitive platform. Update III: Android was not an option because it would be difficult to differentiate there. Update IV: There will be 'substantial reductions in employment' in Finland and around the world. Also, before I forget, thanks Engadget for the live-blogging where I get this stuff from!

RE[4]: Oh well
by Nth_Man on Fri 11th Feb 2011 17:54 UTC in reply to "RE[3]: Oh well"
So open source can't stand on its own two feet without money pouring in from businesses?
Sometimes people talk about the market like if it was made from parts that compete and the one that sells the best product for mankind wins, all without using things like...
- millions of dollars in marketing to make people buy a product and not the other.
- planned obsolescence and other unclear ways to earn the biggest quantity of money in long term.
- meetings with stakeholders where the target is "getting money now" (and in the forthcoming years we'll see).
- deals with computer sellers which also go for their own interests and not for the interests of the others.
- deals with carriers, to include some features (and not include others).
- etc.

Senior guard honored for 23-point, seven-rebound performance in win over Evansville
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – A week after being named the Mid-Major Player of the Week by CollegeHoops.net, Kevin Murphy has collected a pair of weekly honors from the Ohio Valley Conference and CollegeSportsMadness.com.
Murphy was named OVC Player of the Week by the conference's sports information directors for his 23-point, seven-rebound performance in Tech's 72-70 win at Evansville on Saturday. He received the same honor from CollegeSportsMadness.com.
The senior guard from Fairburn,Ga., scored 17 of his 23 points in the second half to rally the Golden Eagles back from a nine-point deficit at Evansville. Murphy hit the would-be game-winner, draining a contested three-pointer with 27 seconds left to erase a one-point Evansville lead. He also moved into seventh on Tech's all-time scorers list in the game, surpassing Jimmy Hagan. He has now scored 1,548 career points.
Against the Purple Aces, Murphy shot 50 percent from the field, going 8-for-16. He was 2-for-4 from three-point range and extended his streak to 15 games with a made three-pointer, dating back to Feb. 26. He was also 5-for-7 from the free-throw line.
Murphy leads the OVC in scoring, averaging 21.0 points per game, and ranks 19th in NCAA Division I. He is also pulling down 5.8 rebounds per contest. He also has 18 assists and 13 steals this season.
Murphy has scored in double-figures in every game Tech has played this season and has led the Golden Eagles in scoring in their last five contests.
Tech returns to action tonight at West Virginia with a 6 p.m. CT tip-off. The game will be televised on ESPN Full Court and on ESPN3.com.

I always thought he loved music....
When I play hammered dulcimer, Stormy curls up contentedly under the h.d.
When I play mountain dulcimer, he sits beside me so that my left elbow rests upon him
When I attempt bowing my McSpadden, he sits on the floor in front of me, staring at me, in attack position. Hmmmm..... Maybe this isn't yet "music."
