hey Greene, you know what change would nice? you not suckinghttp://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...back-position/
Its a good thing the Jets arent a circus.
To cap a day in which multiple Jets said backup quarterback Tim Tebow is terrible, coach Rex Ryan called out the unnamed critics as cowardly, and Tebow expressed sadness at the situation, running back Shonn Greene went the other way, suggesting that maybe the clocks should finally be set to Tebow Time.
Somethings got to change, Greene told Mike Silver of Yahoo! Sports. When you get to the point where youre 3-6, and losing and losing, a couple of guys are like, Oh, what would happen [if Tebow played]? But guys at the same time have faith in Mark, so its kind of an up-and-down thing.
You feel bad for Mark, but at the same time you want to win games. Were not here to protect peoples feelings. If you want to win games, youve got to try something. If somebodys not getting the job done, you see if somebody else can do it. Its the same with coaching, or any position. You dont mean to belittle someone or say he sucks. Thats just the harsh reality.
The problem is that its now too late to switch to Tebow. If it works, and if the Jets actually start winning, it likely will be too late to help them get to the playoffs. Which would serve only to invite questions regarding why the Jets didnt make the change sooner.
The bigger problem is that the Jets appear to have the beginnings of a schism. Yes. Schism.
And it possibly wasnt an accident that Greene included coaching in his list of things that may need to be changed for the team to become successful.

I purchased the cover for my 2003 Chevy Silverado. It is going to be used for long term storage of my truck outdoor parking in Oahu. The front piece fits like a glove. I wish the cable and lock was thicker. I haven't checked the rear cover yet for fit as I am waiting for a tonneau cover. I am going to use the front only for now. I will update review after I return to Oahu in October regarding how it wears against the intense sun and rain of Hawaii.

Glenelg senior Olivia Nowlin knew that her Gladiators' squad – winners of just one of their last four outings – needed to get back on track. Behind the speedy guard's season-high 22 points, including nine on three triples in the third quarter, Glenelg ended 2013 on a positive note with a 52-42 victory over the Mergenthaler Vo-Tech (Mervo) Lady Mustangs on Saturday.
"We've been on a bad streak, so it was good to come back with a win," said Nowlin. "Coach basically told us at halftime that we needed redemption from yesterday. He said if we shut them out in the third quarter, then the game would be pretty much over."
Coach Chris Beil wanted to take it to the Mustangs (4-2) in the third quarter. His request was met with open arms by his girls, who held the opposition to zero points in those eight minutes.
Nowlin's flurry of shots beyond the arc in that period ignited a struggling Gladiators (4-2, 5-3) team that had let the opposing Mustangs stay in contention up until that point. Glenelg's newfound surging offense swelled its lead to a 10-point advantage heading into the final eight minutes of the Lady Millers Holiday Tournament consolation game.
"She put the team on her back and shot well, " said Beil of Nowlin. "Our mindset (as a team) was to pick up our own intensity level and think one pass ahead. We played good overall team defense and people came off the bench and contributed."
While Nowlin hit five three's in the game, the supporting cast around her picked up the pieces whenever there was a threat of a Mustangs run. Senior forward Lauren Wright was a force in the paint, finishing many of her chances in a solid 10-point performance. Megan Taylor and Miranda Mattis each contributed six points to complement the Gladiators' leading scorers as well.
Freshman Jaida Jackson collected just four points for the Mustangs, but her 11 rebounds often created second and third chances for her team. Overall, Mervo out-rebounded the Gladiators 31-13 on the day.
In the later stages of the game, a multitude of fouls sent Glenelg shooters to the line on nine separate occasions looking to extend the team's lead. The Gladiators shot 11 for 17 from the charity stripe in that quarter. Nowlin, who went to the line with just 26 seconds left, connected on one of two chances. Moments later, in what would prove to be the final scoring play of the day, she received an inbounds pass and converted on an easy running layup to secure her team's 10-point victory.
"It's a great feeling to end the year with a win, and now we have to focus on River Hill on Friday and just take care of business," Beil said.
Poolesville 49, Oakland Mills 30
Thanks to a simple, yet tactically sound full court press that gave the opposition fits all night, the Poolesville Falcons had everything going for them in the Oakland Mills Holiday Tournament Championship on Saturday.
The visitors hit four 3-pointers, and tournament MVP Whitney Carmack scored 13 points, powering the Falcons over the home Scorpions, 49-30.
"I was pleased defensively. To hold a team to 30 points is really good," said coach Fred Swick of his 8-0 Falcons. "Our press is not really a 'go after it' style. It's more about containment."
In all aspects of the game, that's exactly what Poolesville did. Holding each Scorpion to single digit scores, the Falcons took advantage of importune turnovers and forced shots to create transition points.
Oakland Mills coach Christina Hewitt said ultimately it was self-control that separated the two squads.
"We lacked discipline," the she said bluntly. "We just didn't communicate and we didn't come to play."
Throughout the early stages of the game, it was clear that the Falcons' press needed to be addressed by the Oakland Mills bench. "What did we work on yesterday?" Hewitt could be heard shouting to her players from the sideline.
It was apparent that the home team was never quite right from the start, especially with the lack of presence down low. In the second quarter, Poolesville wrangled six rebounds to Oakland Mills' two. That ability to control the boards resulted in a 14-9 scoring differential in favor of the Falcons – a lead only would only grow.
"The offensive rebounding certainly killed us," said Hewitt. "We weren't boxing out, and they were getting those quick and easy rebounds and putting them back up."
Karigan Awkward led the Scorpions (2-4, 3-5) with nine points. Lauren Thompson notched seven scores, and Tori Diggs wracked up six on two 3-pointers.
"Poolesville did what they were supposed to do and we didn't. Unless we are disciplined, we are going to struggle," Hewitt added.
The Falcons got help from players like Anna Murgia (nine points) and Rosie Barry (6), who played an important role in the victory. Swick said his team enjoys playing in holiday tournaments, as it presents an opportunity to test various schemes and plays.
"Christmas time is a good time to experiment," he said. "We did some adjusting on the fly tonight."

1978 Turbo 1.8 Brat
Posted 28 October 2003 - 09:55 PM
the car looks stock, seems stock, until you hit the gas, hit your head on the glass behind you and all you can do is look behind you and laugh at the mustangs or ricers trying to keep up.
We took a 1991 Subaru GL-10 Wagon, 4x4 turbo motor, tranny, rear end , electronics, and of course the turbo. and strategically placed them in the brat, after a 3 day fight with the wiring from the wagon i got it down to just the motor and computer wiring and it all checked out and now the beast is running and tearing up the pavement.
If you are interested in this car, or a project like this, i will say cutting torch and welders are a must. and the know how ow willingness to learn as you go is a must.
I just took pictures of the brat as of two days ago. You can email me and i will send you some pictures. and yes the stock spare tire still fits under the hood.
Well sorry for the long post, but i will tell you this is alot shorter then the year it took to build the beast.

Someone else in North texas!!
You're right up the street from me!
I'm in McKinney near 121 and Lake Forest
on a side note.. there is no 91 GL-10.. last one was in 89..but the Loyale came in a turbo model in 90 and maybe 91.. but who cares.. an EA82T Brat! Cool!

The car was given to us by the guys daughter with the title, and keys. wow . ok of course getting it out from behind that barn was another story, Dodge truck wouldnt pull it out. took a farm tractor to get it to move. and a wench to get it on the hauler . then taken to my local shop where i worked on my project cars. other types of crazy builds for instance a 1987 Chrysler Conquest with a 302. but was to be origionally a Ford taurus SHO motor in it, but i sold the car and now he is going to put a 302 in it.
Anyways back to the brat, i will get some pics of it tomorrow, and will let all of you see them. just remember the car does need its body work, and paint done, and the interior done, but it is drivable as it is. just doesnt appeal very well. rust isnt an object with the car, and not really any dents except for the front spoiler pan, and the left bottom of the passenger fender. will be replaced.
For those of you in here wanting to talk to me abou the car, just call me at 214-387-0337 and i wll usually be here working on one car or another as i have a 1971 Firebird getting ready to go on the road tomorrow.
or you can email me at email@example.com
thanks again for the great board and hopefully we can all learn something from one another.
later guys and gals....

i am going to help attempt a turbo swap into an spfi 4x4 wagon this weekend. i believe there is a lot of the wiring harness that has to be separated from the rest........
Posted 29 October 2003 - 11:32 AM
but i will tell you if you do decide to do something like this get ready for the biggest headache in your life cause you will be constantly but after a few you will begin to see the sunshine and open raods ahead, it took a year fro us to get the car out of the shop just owrking on it during weekends, and the ocasional all nighter.
enjoy the feel of the boost, just take plenty of vicodin, that rear window is closer than previously thought. and it doesnt move it hurts.
Posted 29 October 2003 - 11:44 AM
we put an ea82 carbbed motor into an 81 GLF hardtop. the motor fit without mods, and we drilled out the 2wd 5spd flywheel to mate with the ea82. some of the wiring we will have to figure out, switching to a distributor without the external wiring, and an internal regulator alternator. but some of the existing wiring so far includes house wiring with a plug in as a connector and a wall switch! fun little things like that to make the car interesting as it works.
one thing that still strikes my curiosity is the ea82 fitting between the (gen1)78 Brat framerail. my buddy wanted to put an ea82 in his 78 brat, and another guy said it wont fit in there without mods. so what was involved to actually shoehorn the motor in there?
and what are you running for suspensions. if i read right you are using ea82 ssupension pieces? i got ea82 parts in my 83 wagon, with some mods. i am interested in your design to compare!
Posted 29 October 2003 - 11:52 AM
if your handy with electronics
i been wanting to do that with a brat myself
if only i had a brat ,welder,cutting torch.ect ect
oh and a empty garage
Posted 29 October 2003 - 12:12 PM
And where did you find a Turbo car down here? I have seen very few of them here.. and the 4 that I know of (mine included) all came from out of state
I would love to have a look at your Brat. You going to be around this weekend?
Posted 29 October 2003 - 12:30 PM
as for the wiring situation, we wanted to make this happen using nothing but the parts we had from both cars, and the steel we came up with to make it happen, so it was using what we had, and making it strong, and durable. of course now that the motor mounts are made up of other peices, i will take them and make some out of some steel and maybe a hydraulic type mount used on nissans, or as they call them liquid filled. so the car wont have much drivetrain vibration as it has some now. from the almost solid mounts.
the wiring was used only cause i saw no purpose in spending money on something i had that i could make work, even if i used the whole harnnes and just hooked up all the lights and so on that way, but thought it would be better to not hurt the brat harness or frame and body to get this done, so that is why it is like a bolt in tied in situation, never know, someone may say i will give you a million dollars for that brat one day if i was to make it back to origional state, and i would just unbolt the motor tranny and rear pumpkin, and drop in the ea71 motor stuff, and hook it all back up and be done with it, noth that i will get that lucky.... but still. i wanted to be able to upgrade later, change, things, modify things, if i had to , and be able to do what i wanted to do.
so there it is in a nutshell. oh and my garage isnt empty, i have 2 -302 motors, two SHO motors, 99 350 vortec motor, hoist, engine stand, and a massive MAC Tools Macsimizer II tool box, top bottom, and side boxees, in my one car garage. toolbox stands 6 1/2 feet tall, 14 feet wide, and 3 1/2 feet deep. and full of goodys. backyard has a 95 lincoln geting a SHO motor, 87 Conquest getting a 302 bored .030 over, and some more goodies, and a 95 Pontiac Grand Prix, and a 1965 mustang coupe coming this weekend. going to get the other 302. no use for the 350 yet, how about in a brat.
oh yeah someone said suspension, its all brat suspension, and handles well, the only thing on the suspension i used from the wagon, was the hub on one front wheel direct fit, no mods there. the brats was stripped.
and CABLEBZ just call me, i will be around this weekend or during the week if you have time, and we can go let you check it out. im sure you wont be dissapointed....
later guys going to get more pics for you, i seem to have found a new drug, and you are all getting addicted to it. LOL
Posted 29 October 2003 - 12:51 PM
you know, if an EA82T will work in there, odds are an EJ20T will as well...
Posted 29 October 2003 - 03:46 PM
Posted 29 October 2003 - 04:59 PM
Any idea if the Gen 1 master cylinder would fit a Gen 2? Disty is really tight to the MC in my '82. Guess I really should ask if the Gen 1's are a dual system or not. So are they?

Roast Chicken Every Which Way
Over at The Kitchn, founding editor Sara Kate Gillingham-Ryan gives a fascinating recap of her IACP talk with Melissa Clark. One thing they discussed was recipes, long and short, and how people are learning to cook these days. It reminded us of a question from Melissa's Hotline Office Hours, in which a user asked for her tips on recipe writing. Her response?
"Try to imagine telling someone who doesn't cook very often how to make the dish. Be thorough without talking down to people. and make sure you order your steps in the most efficient way possible"
Sara adds to this wisdom with a reminder that confidence is key in the kitchen: "That's the freedom in cooking. Know your method and you are free."
There are a million ways to cook a chicken -- the Zuni Cafe method that Sara and Melissa discussed during their talk, the variation on it that Sara tweeted in the article, brined with coffee and orange juice, spatchcocked with cardamom and yogurt, and more -- but it's creativity and personal experience that make cooking the joy that it is.

Lincoln County High School's Constance Hawley attended the Governor's School for International Studies, which was held on the University of Memphis campus in June.
Founded in 1986, the Governor's School for International Studies (GSIS) is a four-week residential program that is available to rising high school juniors and seniors throughout Tennessee, and is one of twelve such programs funded by the Tennessee Department of Education.
The admissions process for GSIS is quite competitive, as the 66 attendees were drawn from a pool of over 400 applicants.
In this program, students are immersed in global issues, languages and cultures. In addition to completing university coursework in International Relations, Cultural Geography and Political Science, Constance received training in Arabic. She also participated in numerous experiential activities, such as Model UN, and met with current and former employees from such organizations as the State Department, the Peace Corps, the CIA and the FBI.
To develop an understanding for how local organizations work to respond to global challenges, Constance also completed a service-learning project with a Memphis nonprofit organization.

Recipe from the Thermador Taste of America Cookbook
Baking is a way of life in Indiana. The recipe for these ethereal morning treats was given to Darci by her mother, who got it from a cookbook. Darci added more butter to the batter and used nutmeg instead of cinnamon to make the puffs her own.
Submitted by:
Darci Montovani
Makes 12
Butter for muffin cups
11 tablespoons butter, room temperature, divided
1 cup sugar, divided
1 large egg
1½ cups all purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup whole milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 12 standard muffin
cups. Using wooden spoon, beat 5 tablespoons
butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and egg in large bowl. Combine
flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Stir
flour mixture and milk alternately into butter-sugar
mixture. Divide batter evenly among prepared
muffin cups. Bake until puffs are golden brown,
about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in
heavy small saucepan. Combine remaining 1/2 cup
sugar and cinnamon on large plate. Roll hot puffs in
melted butter, then in cinnamon sugar. Serve warm or
at room temperature. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.

|Guilford coach Chris
Rusiewicz gets douced after his team notches a win -- something
that's more common this season than in years
Guilford athletics photo
There is something in the Division III football locker rooms in Greensboro, N.C. A feeling that has not been present there for quite some time. Something that brings about hope, optimism, confidence and pride. Something that makes waking up and going to class more palatable, that makes a campus take notice, that makes parents and alumni show up and cheer louder. Greensboro College and Guilford College are doing something that neither program has done much of in the last 15 years, and something the two have never done concurrently: winning.
The neighboring teams -- whose campuses are separated by a five-mile drive down Friendly Avenue -- have already combined for seven wins this year. The programs have never combined for more than nine wins in a season. Each team currently has a winning record in conference play. The Quakers have not had a winning season in the ODAC since 2005. Greensboro has just two winning seasons in conference play and has yet to finish above .500 overall in the program's 15-year history. Greensboro went winless in 2011. Guilford went winless in 2010. Already this season, each team has surpassed its win total of the last two seasons combined.
Not surprisingly, each team is finding its newfound success under new leadership. Bill Young is in his first season as head coach at Greensboro. Chris Rusiewicz is in his second season as head coach at Guilford. Both inherited programs that needed to make adjustments beyond X's and O's.
"The biggest thing is building trust between the coaches, players and parents of the players," said Young, who served as an assistant coach at Greensboro since 2000. "We want everyone to know that we are in this thing for the right reasons -- to get these young men degrees and to help them get better every day."
"We immediately noticed a difference with the new coaching staff," said Guilford senior offensive lineman Daniel Biggerstaff. "They gave us structure and they made the offseason exciting. Every workout and every practice feels like it has a purpose."
The culture changes have led to early results in 2012. Both teams notched big victories last week. Guilford defeated Bridgewater on Thursday night, giving Rusiewicz his first home victory as Quakers coach. Greensboro held off Averett on Saturday, leaving the Pride in a five-way tie for first place in the USA South.
"Our guys haven't experienced success before," said Young. "We try very hard not to look at statistics or records and just keep the focus on us."
Winning is uncharted territory for the upperclassmen who stuck with each program through a winless season. It helps that each roster is loaded with many freshmen and sophomores who were accustomed to winning at the high school level. The Quakers are led by freshman quarterback and Greensboro native Matt Pawlowski, who has twice earned ODAC Offensive Player of the Week honors this season. He responded to the opportunity to come to Guilford and help turn the program around.
"It's rough and you can get accustomed to losing," said Rusiewicz. "What we pushed in recruiting was 'come here and make a change.' We emphasized getting local talent."
Prior to Thursday, Guilford had not won a home game since October 31, 2009. The Quakers had not beaten Bridgewater since 2006. A victory like the Quakers' 23-20 triumph over the Eagles can be the kind of win that a rebuilding program like Guilford looks back on years from now as a defining moment.
"No doubt it's a turning point," said Rusiewicz. "We've been waiting for that moment and getting close and we knew it was just a matter of time until it clicked."
Biggerstaff is one of three seniors who has stuck with the Guilford program for all four years. He believes the turning point was the first win of the 2012 season, when Guilford won at Averett.
"That was when we realized that if we do what we're coached to do, we can beat anybody," he said the senior from Belmont, N.C.
His only regret is that he will not be able to continue to play alongside his talented new teammates in the coming years.
"This season makes me wish that I was a freshman this year," he said. "This year's freshmen have a completely different attitude."
Similarly, very few seniors stuck it out for four years at Greensboro. The team's top senior is one of those who gave up on the Pride. Wide receiver Antwan Thorpe transferred to Catawba College and spent the 2011 season there, before returning to Greensboro after Young was promoted to head coach. He admits that a lot of the reason for his defection was his own immaturity, and now he tries to set an example of the attitude change in the Pride locker room.
"We always had a lot of talent at Greensboro, but now we have more people willing to put in the extra time and work," said Thorpe. "For us seniors, it's our last chance to be on the field together and show people that we can be a winning team."
|Greensboro is sure to be
happy to have Antwan Thorpe back this year. The receiver, who had
transferred to another school for a time, hauled in his 18th and
19th career touchdown catches against Averett, putting him at the
top of the Pride's record books.

In the Pride's 18-16 win over Averett on Saturday, Thorpe set a new Greensboro record for career touchdown receptions, hauling in his 18th and 19th scores. His new unselfish outlook after a year away mirrors that of the rest of the team.
"Coach Young gave me a second chance," said Thorpe. "I'm all about winning as a team now."
There is a buzz spreading around both campuses. In August, few people outside of the football locker rooms believed that either team would have this kind of early season success. Now, the Quakers and Pride have the city's attention.
"A lot of people on campus were shocked [by our win over Bridgewater,]" said Rusiewicz. "We opened up a lot of eyes. I think we realize now how hard it is to win. Our senior class deserves it."
"It feels good coming to class after a win," said Thorpe. "Our fan support has never been this high."
When Rusiewicz came to Guilford from Ursinus last year, he knew he would have a young roster. He brought in young assistant coaches who he felt would be more fit to weather a rebuilding process. The process is nowhere near complete, but it appears to be on the right track. The freshmen and sophomores, led by Pawlowski under center and Josh Wiliams in the backfield, have a foundation that is built for long-term success.
"I wanted a young staff because I knew we had young players," said Rusiewicz. "We wanted to get it turned around together over five or six years."
Whether either program has fully turned the corner will be determined over the next four weeks. For now, each appears to have achieved the most important goal in rebuilding a downtrodden program: changing attitudes. Guilford plays its next two games on the road at Randolph-Macon and Hampden-Sydney. Greensboro can ensure the program's fourth non-losing season with a win at North Carolina Wesleyan this weekend, which would give the Pride three chances to secure that elusive winning season. The newfound enthusiasm within each program is undeniable.
"Our senior and junior classes have a greater appreciation for where we're at right now," said Young. "We're just having fun and riding the wave."
Wesley keeps winning: Despite trailing in each of their seven games, the Wolverines stand at 6-1 and ranked No. 6 in the country. Wesley rallied again, this time against USCAA school Virginia-Lynchburg. The Wolverines held the Dragons to 184 yards of offense and just 15 passing yards. Wesley must now contend with an NAIA opponent and jet-lag, as the Wolverines trek to California to take on Menlo this weekend.
Centennial spoilers: Muhlenberg ruined what was to be a Friday night showdown between the only two undefeated teams in the Centennial. The Mules bounced back from two straight defeats to hand Gettysburg its first loss of the season. A late touchdown off of a fake field goal was the difference as Muhlenberg held off the Bullets, 35-31. The Mules' fake field goal came after the Bullets scored on a fake field goal of their own to tie the game at 28 early in the fourth quarter. Trailing 31-28 with 2:32 to play, Mules holder Joe Carlucci tosses a 15-yard touchdown to Ian Gimbar to give Muhlenberg the lead.
Gettysburg has to recover quickly, as the Bullets head to Maryland for a Friday night battle with the CC's lone undefeated squad, No. 16 Johns Hopkins. After this contest, the Blue Jays hit the road for games against Ursinus (3-2 in CC) and Franklin and Marshall (4-1 in CC). What was shaping up to be a two-team race between the Blue Jays and Bullets is once again wide open. Now, it is Gettysburg's turn to play spoiler and really create some chaos in the Centennial.
Mid-Atlantic Upset of the Year? So far, it looks like LaGrange's 20-6 domination of Christopher Newport in Newport News is the upset of the season in the Mid-Atlantic. P.G. Standard led the Panthers defense with seven tackles and an interception. LaGrange held Christopher Newport to 212 yards of total offense and forced quarterback Marcus Morrast into 2-12 passing for 14 yards and two interceptions. Quarterback Ed Russ passed for 105 yards and rushed for 104 and a touchdown. Kent Gibson added 120 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The Captains had not lost a USA South game since October 9, 2010. The Panthers have the signature win of their first season as a member of the conference. They also just made the rest of the season a lot more interesting for almost every other team in the league. Five teams -- Ferrum, Greensboro, and Maryville are the others -- are now tied atop the league standings at 2-1. LaGrange travels to Maryville on Saturday in a game that should provide more clarity atop the USA South.
Making a statement: Washington and Lee remained the only unbeaten team in ODAC play by pasting Randolph-Macon, 49-14. The Generals have won five straight games and have won their first three ODAC games by an average score of 45-21. The Yellow Jackets continued their dominance of time of possession, but the game plan was no match for Washington and Lee's explosive playmakers. The Generals ran just 49 plays compared with the Yellow Jackets' 80, yet outgained Randolph-Macon by 160 yards, averaging 10.4 yards per play. Sasha Vandalov rushed for a career-high 199 yards and two scores on just six carries, including an 86-yard touchdown run. Luke Heinsohn added 125 yards rushing and three touchdowns. The Generals also won the turnover battle, 3-0. W&L travels to Bridgewater this weekend, while R-MC looks to bounce back at home against Guilford.
Quick hits: Connor McGrath was a workhorse, carrying the ball 34 times for 202 yards and three scores in Susquehanna's 38-18 win over Moravian...Franklin and Marshall's defense, led by Chris DeStefano and Jonathan Struss, stopped McDaniel on 10 of 12 third downs en route to a 35-10 victory...Seven different Panthers scored in Ferrum's 51-35 win over North Carolina Wesleyan...A late pick-six by Ruben Rodgers was the difference as Maryville held off Methodist, 28-24...Greg Cordivari returned for the Cardinals and led Catholic to a 34-7 win over Shenandoah, passing for 277 yards and two scores.
Looking ahead: Gettysburg at Johns Hopkins on Friday night. After allowing 35 points to Muhlenberg, Gettysburg dropped to 13th in the nation in scoring defense. Tied with the Bullets, allowing 12.67 points per game? You guessed it, Johns Hopkins. Momentum is with the Blue Jays, who come off of a 49-0 shutout of Dickinson. The Blue Jays have also been the better defense in measure of yards, allowing 36 fewer per game than the Bullets. Gettysburg's Larry DelViscio, who ranks fourth in the nation in solo tackles per game, will have his hands full with an offense averaging 499.33 yards per game. Blue Jays running back Jonathan Rigaud has rushed for 12 touchdowns this season, one more than Gettysburg running back Ted Delia. These teams appear to be matched up almost evenly, with history and home field favoring the Blue Jays.

- Synopsis
- The German Army of World War II considered itself an offensive, mobile force. The experiences in the trenches in World War I had done much to shape its concept of field fortification, and its mobile warfare ethos was intended to prevent the previous war's stalemate. This book addresses frontline defensive field fortifications, built by infantrymen using local materials, and includes rifle platoon positions, trenches, crew-served weapon positions, bunkers, dugouts, shelters and more. It also covers anti-tank and anti-personnel obstacles, as well as field camouflage methods and construction methods. The integration of these positions into permanent systems and theatre-specific defences are also discussed.

Justin has a cute little ass. He just wears his pants low and loose so it doesn't show so well. I've seen pictures of him in concert dancing and bending over. He has a pert, round ass. As for his sexuality, I have read so much information from many different sources that says he's bisexual. Of course the sources could all be false, but when you read it time and time again from different sources it seems credible. At any rate, I'd like to think he's bisexual.
hey, tenchibrl, that link was fab..... thanks!Quote:

Justin Reveals Bedroom Secrets
Source: thesun.co.uk
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE has answered the question on minds of millions of women by revealing he is an animal in bed. And he boasted there was nothing an older woman could teach him between the sheets.
In his sexiest interview yet, Justin, 22, said he was 15 when he lost his virginity -- and he knows all there is to know about satisfying a woman.
The singer, who sensationally groped Kylie Minogues bum onstage at the Brit Awards, also revealed he was once "addicted" to his ex-girlfriend virginal pop princess Britney Spears.
Justin said: "I dont think there is anything thirty-something women could bring on that would corrupt me.
"Ive been doing this since I was 15. Sex has never been taboo for me.
"I enjoy it and I praise it and I embrace it and I celebrate it openly, freely and funly -- if thats a word."
Justin, who dated Britney for four years until their split last year, revealed he prefers sex with regular partners rather than one-night stands.
He said: "Im not a one-night stand kind of person, but I am very expressive sexually. Im not the kind of guy who can chat someone up in a bar -- Ive never done that.
"But I am a firm believer in talking about whats on your mind."
Justin is the hottest man in pop after his raunchy routine with Kylie -- before taking her and sister Dannii back to his hotel suite.
His No1 album Justified and his sexy dance moves have won him an army of female fans.
But Justin admits he was heartbroken over his split with Britney, now 21, after he discovered she had cheated.
He explained: "I was addicted to Britney. But thats love for you.
"No one knows what went on between Britney and me except us. What I will say is I was never unfaithful.
"When we split up, everyone was trying to work out why.
"All I can say is that it has been really emotional and it broke my heart.
"Were friends now. Were not mad at each other."
The former NSYNC frontman, said he had poured much of his heartbreak into lyrics for his album.
He said: "I had a lot of angst. I was caught up in the fact that I was breaking up with someone I had been with for four years. I pretty much lived in the studio for two months and just put it all into my work.
"Its going to be interesting to see what the next album is like because Im in a different place now.
"Im as happy as a lark and I feel like I have some peace."
The video for Justins single Cry Me A River, which is about a cheating lover, shows a Britney lookalike who he tries to make jealous by romping with another woman.
Justin said: "Cry Me A River is a pretty honest song. Theres no beating around the bush. The video was a little more catty and manipulative than the song. The director saw an opportunity to make people see the TV, do a double take and say, Holy s**t!.
"But Ive always had a bit of a dark side.
"I think its the ability to look at a situation in your life that may be very dramatic and being able to take the p**s, as you so like to say over here in Britain."
Justin revealed he had called Britney to warn her about the video.
He said: "If anyone knows me, Britney does, so she knows my sense of humour. I think she may have expected me to do something like that."
Justin admits he recently dated a girl from his home town of Memphis, Tennessee, but refuses to name her.
He said: "The best part was we sat down, had dinner, and struck up a totally impromptu conversation that led to us sitting there for another hour and a half.
"It was a bit awkward at first because theres a definite presumption of how celebrities act.
"You see them on TV breaking down and demanding stuff, so people get this impression that celebrities live in another world, but they dont."
Despite being one of the worlds sexiest men with £35million in the bank, Justin admits he is still desperate to find love.
He said: "Love is a great feeling. Theres nothing about it thats not pleasant and its the one thing you cant control or manipulate.
"Its like a television channel that you cant switch off.
"It can inspire a person to change, to want to be a better person. Id never had that feeling before.
"I do still believe in love, its out there somewhere. Its the light at the end of the far, far tunnel.
"Having your face on every magazine makes it hard to meet someone. And being trained in this business makes you put your guard up. It makes it hard to trust people.
"But if you can get past all that, imagine what it would be like."
He's looking so hot and gay (or bi) in that last picture...mmmm....
And I love the freckles (on his shoulders). I don't always like that....but on a nice muscular body it just adds to the hotness. Also liked Blake McGrath's (from So You Think You Can Dance)....
Sorry, I don't like that pic at all :(
I don't know why some people find the need to apologize....it's not like you're proving me "wrong" or something....and it wasn't my gift to you either, so I'm not particularily disappointed that you don't like it....lol.Quote:

:hurray: I don't see the big deal. There's not much to see, but if one loves Timberlake, I guess a pube shot is hot hot hot!!!!
One of the first guys I went off on. Just love that pic where he's showing his armpits. I just want to lick them all day!
This is my favorite picture of him EVER:
gosh this thread got me liking Mr. Timberlake again. MMMMmm!
Why is it so irresistable to call him Mr. Timberlake? lol....I used to call him that all the time when I didn't want to say Justin....that's too hot of a name for me...lol.Quote:

Yeah, don't hate on Justin. He's hot as hell. Plus a very soulful young singer, to boot. Thanx to you all for posting all these cool photos of a very sexy young man. I've always gotten a very definite gay/bi vibe off him. Enjoyin' this thread!

For the first time, an investigational HIV vaccine has shown it can protect people from the virus. For over 20 years, scientists have been trying to find an AIDS vaccine that effectively prevents HIV from spreading. During that time 32 million men, women and children have died from the disease.
In a large phase III trial conduted in Thailand, reseachers report the vaccine reduced the risk of infection by 31.2 percent compared with a placebo.
More than 16,000 young adults took part in the study. Half of them were given the placebo and half were given the trial vaccine.
Of the roughly 8,000 who took the placebo, 74 became infected with HIV. Among those who received the trial vaccine, 51 became infected with HIV.
"I am very encouraged at these results -- the first such encouragement in two decades," said Dr. James Curran, a professor of epidemiology at Emory University who was not involved in the trial. "While this does not merit immediate application, this will reinvigorate interest in the crucial goal of seeking a highly effective vaccine."
"This is the first HIV vaccine candidate to successfully reduce the risk of HIV infection in humans," said Lt. Gen. Eric Schoomaker, the Surgeon General of the U.S. Army.
The army was one of the partners on the trial, along with the Thai Ministry of Public Health, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Sanofi Pasteur, and Global Solutions for Infectious Diseases.
"We are very excited and pleased with the outcome of this trial and congratulate all those who participated in it," Schoomaker said in a statement.
He added that the study is "an outstanding example of international, and interagency, collaboration."
But some in the medical community are cautious about the results.
"This is not a vaccine that would be marketed right now," said Dr. Jonathan Jacobs of Weill Cornell Medical Center. "It is extraordinarily exciting for people who have seen negative results for 20 years straight, but there's still a lot of work that needs to be done. So this is really just the beginning, but an exciting beginning."
Unanswered questions remain -- scientists don't know why this particular vaccine works opposed to ones tried in the past. And while it is somewhat effective in Thailand, it's unclear if it will work on different strains of the virus around the world.
As one scientist said today, "It's not the end game. This is the beginning."
"If we can stop those infections we could spare millions and millions of people," Jacobs said.
The trial tested a so-called "prime-boost strategy" using two different medications.
The first, dubbed ALVAC-HIV, was a canarypox virus, engineered so it could not cause disease and modified to carry synthetic versions of three HIV genes, known as gag, env, and pro.
A Primer Vaccine May Help Fight HIV Infection
Volunteers were either given four injections of ALVAC-HIV over six months, or a matching placebo.
At the last two injections, the volunteers were also given a placebo shot or a shot of AIDSVAX B/E -- a vaccine candidate that was proved safe but not effective in an earlier trial.
The idea was to prime the immune system with the first vaccine and then boost it with the second. Researchers hoped to elicit both antibodies to HIV and killer T cells that would destroy the virus.
Future Research May Make HIV Vaccine a Reality
Both medications contained HIV fragments from two strains, one is common in Europe and North America -- and another strain is found in Thailand and Southeast Asia.
The trial was controversial when it started, largely because of the previous failure of the AIDSVAX component.
But some believe this could be a first step toward an effective vaccine.
"It's promising in that there is a significant effect," said Dr. John Bartlett, chief of the division of infectious diseases at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, and chair of the Infectious Disease Society of America's task force on antimicrobial availability. "It gives a clue about what might work so that the second generation can be tested."

Why Ravens will win: last wave of emotion
Updated 1:26 am, Sunday, February 3, 2013
New Orleans -- The older brother will beat the younger brother again.
Super Bowl XLVII will be nothing more than a repeat, at least victory-wise, of the 2011 Thanksgiving Day game between the two teams when John Harbaugh's Ravens beat Jim Harbaugh's 49ers 16-6.
If you look down the rosters and compare personnel, the 49ers have better players and are more balanced. But the Ravens are riding emotion, and after two years of failing in the postseason, their playmakers are making plays. They also have enough crusty veterans who won't quit.
Earlier in the week this game seemed to be a toss-up. But allegations about star linebacker Ray Lewis and performance-enhancing drugs pushed the Ravens over the hump. They will win 27-24.
You can criticize owner Steve Bisciotti and second-guess John Harbaugh. You can pick on general manager Ozzie Newsome or trash quarterback Joe Flacco, but few outside of Baltimore can take on Lewis.
He is The Icon, the one his teammates call "The Great Mufasa." They love him.
The Ravens were already on a mission before the Lewis allegations. They started developing the "Us Against the World" attitude after losing three of four near the end of the season. The chip on their shoulders only grew by being nine-point underdogs in playoff games against Denver and New England.
And now "The Great Mufasa" has been insulted.
The 49ers have their own sources of motivation, but they might not be able to get as high, and the Ravens certainly won't be distracted.
"Do we seem distracted? Come on, man. We can handle a lot," said Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs. "This team has very broad shoulders. We don't let too many things bother us. Like I said, we know each other. We know our general (Lewis). We're just really good at not paying attention to nonsense. We're not distracted at all."
But the Ravens are so much more than Ray Lewis. In each of the past two seasons they've had the best team in the AFC, but they didn't make plays at crucial times in the playoffs. Receivers Anquan Boldin and T.J. Houshmandzadeh dropped game-changing passes, and running back Ray Rice fumbled in a 31-24 divisional playoff loss to Pittsburgh two years ago.
Last year, receiver Lee Evans dropped a potential game-winning touchdown pass in the end zone and kicker Billy Cundiff whiffed on a short field goal in the closing seconds as the Ravens lost to New England 23-20 in the AFC Championship Game.
But that has changed. Boldin has been exceptional this postseason, and the Ravens have two home-run hitters in speedy receivers Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones. They have Rice, as well as another strong young runner in rookie Bernard Pierce.
And then there is Flacco, who has been masterful in the playoffs, completing 51 of 93 passes for 853 yards and eight touchdowns. He has not thrown an interception.
"I don't know from a philosophical standpoint that it changed much," tight end Dennis Pitta said of Flacco. "I think we've just got a few more opportunities to make some plays. I think (offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell) does a good job of mixing up the pass and the run so we've got more of an opportunity to stay balanced with the ball than we did in the past."
San Francisco has one of the best defenses in the NFL, and the 49ers allow just 17.1 points and 94.2 yards rushing a game, but they aren't invincible.
They rely on speed, but they can't handle the Ravens' power or downhill running game. I like Ravens guards Marshal Yanda and K.O. Osemele one-on-one with inside linebackers NaVorro Bowman and Patrick Willis. I can see Pierce running for big yards behind fullback Vonta Leach, who can't wait to get a piece of Willis.
The 49ers can limit the Ravens' deep passing game because they have two Pro Bowl safeties in Dashon Goldson and Donte Whitner, but the 12- to 15-yard out patterns and crossing routes should be there. Flacco has to be patient.
He'll have time. Earlier in the season, protecting Flacco would have been a problem. But in two of the past three games, the Ravens' offensive line has played well against Denver's tandem of Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller and Indianapolis' Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney.
My major concern is 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh. He controls the sideline with the mentality of a starting quarterback. The 49ers seem to have endless shifts and formations, and they attack from anywhere on the field.
San Francisco's offensive line is fun to watch. The 49ers remind me of the Green Bay Packers of the 1960s. They pull tackles and guards on sweeps and tosses, and they trap aggressive defensive linemen inside. And they just muscle up and grind teams.
The pistol offense is fun to watch, but the Ravens played against it when they faced Washington. They struggled after the first two series, but then they shut down quarterback Robert Griffin III.
San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick is a lot like Griffin in style. Both are fantastic runners, as well as throwers, and Kaepernick loves to throw deep.
Receiver Michael Crabtree leads the 49ers in receptions, but he's more of an intermediate threat. Randy Moss is the vertical guy, but more of a decoy than a primary target. Tight end Vernon Davis is excellent, but I like his matchup with Bernard Pollard and Ed Reed. And if Reed stays disciplined and plays the deep third as well as he has up to now, the 49ers will stay with the short stuff.
When the Ravens played San Francisco on Thanksgiving 2011, that's how they stopped the 49ers. They made then-quarterback Alex Smith play small ball, which is what they have done to Peyton Manning and Tom Brady this postseason.
In that 2011 game, the Ravens also stuck with the run and pounded the 49ers. They'll do it again Sunday night, but now they have more proven weapons on the outside.
We've seen this game played out before - only this time it's the Super Bowl. And this time John Harbaugh wins the Lombardi Trophy instead of just bragging rights.

The mechanisms in yourcar doors will give you some severe pain if you happen to be in thewrong place at the wrong time.
Our car has recently been painted, job, but when we replaced the outerdoor-edge weatherstripping, the power motors in the doors were incapableof closing the windows because of the increased drag and weak state ofthe motors. In '84-'90 Corvette doors, the window was raised and loweredwith a plastic track that often didn't last beyond the fifth birthday ofthe car. The fix was to either replace the power-window ribbon,available from Mid AmericaMotorworks (PN 603-939), or the entire regulator.
When electric motors fail, the entire window regulator can be changed(PN 604-603, left side and PN 604-604, right side). These types ofregulators were used on the later model ('90-'96) Corvettes, and use amotor and "metal hinge" to raise and lower the window rather than theplastic track. They mount to the inner portion of the door differentlythan the early models (not attached through the bottom of the doorframe) and do not include either the power-window ribbon or plasticwindow attachment unit that often failed in these early cars.
We had a number of problems with our car. Clearly, someone had attemptedto adjust the windows. Because of this, we were missing the rear-edgewindow "kick-out" bracket that fits in the rear part of the windowmechanism for the upper portion of the door. In addition, thepassenger-side plastic window mount had cracked and was not repairable.We ordered two new regulators (including window motors) from Mid AmericaMotorworks and proceeded to install the newer window mechanism in theolder car.
Andrew at John'sCustoms and Performance in Torrance, California, handled our installand adjustment. He worked several hours on each door to remove the oldsystem and replace it with the new regulator. That was the easy part.The adjustment process involved a fair amount of pushing and pulling toget the window bolted in place without losing a limb.
Then came the fun part: replacing the missing bracket from the left sideand the adjustment of the window in the weatherstripping. The key is tohave a battery charger in place to keep the battery full during theexcessive amount of up-and-down window play required to test fit thewindow in the right position. Like the trial and error often required tofit a hood panel or door, the best way is to slightly tighten the bolts,test overall fit, then retighten when the fit is correct.
Follow our steps to attain proper final window fitment. Work slowly toavoid damage and injury--to you, as well as your Corvette.

With every embarrassing loss, Jarome Iginla's decision must get a little bit easier. With every painful, four-goal humiliation, the Calgary Flames captain is surely able to better relate to the situation that saw Rick Nash finally admit he'd had enough of losing. The frustration of staying loyal to an organization that continually spins its wheels as time ticks away on your chance to win a Stanley Cup is clearly mounting, as Iginla takes one final week or two to decide if he wants to end his 18-year relationship with the Flames. Few would blame him if he did. As reported in Sunday's Calgary Sun, Iginla has still yet to instruct agent Don Meehan on which direction he wants to take his career as his contract expires at season's end. It's got to be a gut-wrenching decision given his history and status here. Iginla and the Flames aren't even negotiating, as Meehan awaits his client's instructions on whether to try extending his contract or ask for a trade. It was an amazing revelation from the agent, given there are only 23 days left until the NHL's trade deadline and Iginla is still uncommitted. Back-to-back four-goal losses on the West Coast sure can't bode well for him wanting to stay. Seven times in 23 games so far this season, the Flames have lost by three goals or more, giving them a goal-differential of minus-16. Only two teams sport a worse differential. The Flames are now in last place in the Western Conference. The hockey world sure seems to believe Iginla would be foolish to sign an extension to stay with the Flames. For the sake of the team and Iginla, a trade demand makes most sense to hockey pundits across North America.

What is the best book you read in December?
Don't forget to give us the title and the author! And, if you can tell us why you liked it so much, I'm sure everyone would enjoy hearing what you have to say!
As for myself, I'd have to go with The Outside of a Horse by Ginny Rorby. I love horse books, first and foremost. In fact, I've already got two more teen books about horses and unicorns checked out. That's why I initially picked up the book. But, it's so much more than a horse book! It's the story of a young girl only 14 years old, struggling to keep her family from falling apart after her father returns from Iraq missing a leg. In the past, watching horse races had bonded her and her father together. After his return, learning to trust in real flesh and blood animals, just might help them rebuild that bond and help her father overcome his loss and his addiction to alcohol. It was an extremely realistic and emotional read, that had me in tears during several points. It's one I highly recommend!
And, if you're looking to check it out, we'll have it on our "emotional reads" book display in the Copley Teen room all next month unless someone borrows it.
YA Highway is a blog (www.yahighway.com) by a group of young adult authors from all over the world! And every Wednesday YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on their own blogs.

Athletics Ticket Info
When the popular Brad Pitt movie "Moneyball" hit theaters and told the story of how general manager Billy Beane and the Oakland A's competed with a much smaller payroll compared to teams like the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, it surely stirred up some added interest in heading out to catch an A's game. Oakland surprised nearly everyone, including their own fans when they won the AL West division for the second consecutive season. Oakland manager Bob Melvin was certainly made a case for manager of the year in '13 and The A's will look to return to the playoffs in 2016, so make sure you have Oakland A's baseball tickets for all the games you want to see.
At some point in the fairly new future, the Oakland Athletics will end up with a new stadium to replace the aging Oakland Coliseum, which is now officially known as O.co Coliseum or Overstock.com Coliseum. Although it's certainly not the best stadium in Major League Baseball, it's still a better place to spend a few hours than at the office or working in the yard, so check out the Oakland A's schedule for this season and pick out the games you want to see. GoTickets has great Oakland Athletics seats for every game this year.
With equal teams now in both the American League and National League, there will be significantly more opportunities for inter-league play 2016, giving fans the chance to see teams they may not have ever seen.

Buffalo ships world's first 1.3Gbps Wi-Fi hardware
Edges out Netgear in 802.11ac race
Posted in Data Centre, 14th May 2012 18:37 GMT
If you've been jonesing for faster Wi-Fi performance – not that you have any client devices that can yet take advantage of next-generation wireless networking technology – your wait is over: Buffalo has begun shipping the industry's first 802.11ac router and bridge.
Not only do Buffalo's new Wi-Fi devices promise impressive gains in wireless performance, they also deliver some of the most impressive product names that we at The Reg have seen in some time: the AirStation AC1300 / N900 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router WZR-D1800H and the AirStation AC1300 / N450 4-Port Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Ethernet Bridge WLI-H4-D1300.
"Buffalo is again at the forefront of wireless networking, delivering the world's first Wi-Fi router leveraging 802.11ac technology in a cost-effective, high performance package," said Buffalo CEO Hajime Nakai in a statement announcing the release on Monday.
Buffalo unveiled its 802.11ac hardware, powered by Broadcom chips, back at CES in January, as did Trendnet and Netgear, but Buffalo wins bragging rights for being the first company to actually bring their 802.11ac products to market. However, Netgear is poised to release their R6300 802.11ac router any day now, and so if they do indeed get it out the door this month, the race will essentially be a photo finish.
The WZR-D1800H – there's something
about networking-gear design that
truly fires the imagination, eh?
The 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard has not yet been ratified, but such pedestrian matters as formal approval haven't stopped Wi-Fi device manufacturers in the past. Remember, for example, that a raft of 802.11n devices were released in the run-up to that standard's publication in October 2009. Expect 802.11ac to be formally ratified next year, and expect firmware upgrades to take care of any discrepancies between today's hardware and tomorrow's finalized standard.
Until PCs, phones, and other devices incorporate 802.11ac, however, users of Buffalo's new router and bridge will employ the devices' fallback 802.11n capability. The new router and bridge – let's just call them the WZR-D1800H and WLI-H4-D1300 for short – operate in the 5GHz band for both 802.11ac and 802.11n, and the 2.4GHz band for 802.11n alone; the former's maximum theoretical throughput is 1.3Gbps, while the latter maxes out at 450Mbps.
The WZR-D1800H router allows for simultaneous 5GHz 802.11ac and 2.4GHz 802.11n operation, while the WLI-H4-D1300 "media bridge" is limited to either 802.11ac on the 5GHz band or 802.11n on 2.4GHz – but not both simultaneously – or 802.11n running on both bands at the same time.
Another difference between the two devices is that the WZR-D1800H includes five Gigabit Ethernet ports and the WLI-H4-D1300 has four. Despite their differences, Buffalo says that both the router and the bridge have estimated street prices of $179.99, and are now available at Fry's, Frys.com, and NewEgg.com. ®

Joe Mauer had four hits and three RBI for the second straight game, and the Minnesota Twins clubbed their way to an 8-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the second installment of a three-game set at Target Field.
Minnesota topped Monday's season-high 12-hit performance with 15 on Tuesday to collect its second straight win over the Angels. Mauer extended his personal hitting streak to nine games.
"A lot of guys came through in different situations," said Mauer. "It was nice to see, you got to do that to beat good teams."
Brian Dozier went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored while Justin Morneau and Wilkin Ramirez each had two hits and an RBI in the victory to send Los Angeles to its second 4-10 start in club history.
Mike Pelfrey (1-1) was just good enough to pick up the win. He was charged with four runs on seven hits over five innings of work. Glen Perkins worked out of a jam to notch his third save.
The Angels have had only one starter pitch into the seventh inning this season, and Jason Vargas (0-2) wasn't even close in his attempt, needing 90 pitches to get through 3 1/3 frames. He was lit up for five runs on nine hits.
"There's not one magic cure for all the guys that are struggling right now," Angels manager Mike Sciosca said. "Everybody has their own unique set of circumstances and they're going to have to make the adjustments according to their own game and what they need to do."
Mike Trout recorded his fourth multi-hit game, going 2-for-4 with three RBI. Albert Pujols, Peter Bourjos and Andrew Romine had an RBI apiece in the setback, the Angels' seventh in nine games.
Pujols represented the tying run in the ninth after Trout had ripped a two- out, two-run double, but was unable to beat out his hard-hit grounder off the glove of third baseman Trevor Plouffe. It ricocheted to shortstop Pedro Florimon, and his throw to first beat Pujols by a step.
The Twins scored at least one run from the second inning to the fifth, and took the lead for good in the fourth on Morneau's RBI single, which ended Vargas' night and put Minnesota ahead, 5-4.
"Definitely not doing my job out there and getting us to the point where we need to be," said Vargas.
They tacked on two more in the fifth. Vargas had been replaced by Jerome Williams, who got the first two outs of the inning, but then allowed the next three batters to reach. Dozier made it 7-4 with a line drive single to center.
Anthony Swarzak came on in relief of Pelfrey in the sixth and pitched into the ninth. He left after allowing three batters to reach and was charged with two unearned runs in 3 1/3 innings.
Vargas struggled early, giving up three runs during a 38-pitch second inning. Florimon plated the first for Minnesota with a sac fly, and after Vargas loaded the bases by walking Dozier, Mauer sent a two-run single up the middle.
The Angels countered with three runs in the third off Pelfrey. With the bases loaded, Bourjos pushed a run across on a force out at second, and back-to-back singles through the hole at short from Trout and Pujols tied it at 3-3.
Ramirez put Minnesota back in front in the bottom half with a sac fly, but the Angels had three singles in the fourth before Romine tied the game on a groundout at second base.
Game Notes
Mauer last had back-to-back four-hit games on June 26-27, 2006 ... The Angels last started 4-10 in 1961 ... Los Angeles was 4-for-10 with runners in scoring position, and are just 16-for-103 so far this season ... The Angels had won the nine of the last 10 series with the Twins coming in ... Ramirez left the game in the fifth inning after being hit in the back on a pickoff attempt.

CHICAGO — City officials said Thursday that they plan to close 54 schools in an effort to address a $1 billion budget shortfall and improve a struggling educational system — a plan that drew the ire of parents and teachers.
The Chicago school district's chief executive, Barbara Byrd-Bennett, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel say the closures are necessary because too many school buildings are half-empty.
The nation's third-largest district, the system has about 403,000 students but has seats for more than 500,000, officials say. But opponents say the closures will disproportionately affect minority children and endanger students who may have to cross gang boundaries to attend school.
The plan will affect about 30,000 students, officials said. They say money being spent to keep underutilized schools open could be better used to educate students elsewhere.
''Every child in every neighborhood in Chicago deserves access to a high-quality education that prepares them to succeed in life, but for too long children in certain parts of Chicago have been cheated out of the resources they need to succeed because they are in underutilized, under-resourced schools,'' Byrd-Bennett said.
''As a former teacher and a principal, I've lived through school closings and I know that this will not be easy, but I also know that in the end this will benefit our children.''
Critics say the closings are unnecessary and will devastate communities, particularly poor, minority neighborhoods.
Sandra Leon said she got a tearful call from her grandchildren's kindergarten teacher saying their school was on the list to be closed. Her two grown children also attended the school, and Leon could not suppress tears as she waited outside the building for her grandchildren.
''It's been so good for our kids,'' Leon said. ''This school is everything.''
Chicago is among several major cities, including Philadelphia, Washington, and Detroit, to use mass school closures to reduce costs and offset declining enrollment. Detroit has closed more than 130 schools since 2005, including more than 40 in 2010 alone.
The issue has again pitted Emanuel against the Chicago Teachers Union, whose 26,000 members went on strike early in the school year, idling students for seven days. It has also put Emanuel and Byrd-Bennett at odds with parents, civic leaders, and lawmakers, who have blasted the pair during highly charged community meetings throughout the city and at a legislative hearing earlier this week.
Danielle Horton, who learned her son's school is among those slated to close, called Byrd-Bennett the mayor's ''hatchet man'' and accused her and Emanuel of trying to ''rob the community to further a political agenda'' that includes expanding the use of charter schools.
Many of the schools identified for closure are in high-crime areas of Chicago where gang violence contributed to a marked increase in the city's homicide rate last year.
The district plans to have community groups help students get to their new locations safely.
Among the critics is Eular Hatchett, who lives in the violence-plagued neighborhood of North Lawndale. She walks her 13-year-old nephew DaVontay Horace to school to ensure he gets there safely.
''Our parents know about this area,'' she said. ''They don't know about those other areas. If they send him way north or way south, I'm not going to do that. It's too dangerous.''

Brides Live Wedding Launches With Call For Couples
Deserving duo to win wedding produced by Brides, planned via Facebook votes, and streamed live around the world -- all to benefit a charity of their choosing
By: PR Newswire
Nov. 5, 2012 11:59 AM

Why is this crap on the main page?
I think it officially belongs in the politics forum now
24% of Americans are dummies
God, LOL.
Nice little microcosm for the dangers of religion. A Pastor stiffed a server and wrote on the receipt "I give God 10%, why do you get 18?"
This was a small, somewhat humorous example but religious people will use god and faith to justify anything, ANYTHING...including the killing of other people...
That can't be a legit statistic.
Also I think you'll find a decent correlation between the level of intelligence you come across and if the state is red or blue.
An omnipotent entity that decided to create a group of beings that must routinely tell it how awesome it is or suffer eternal damnation?
Huh? I don't know...kind of sounds like a dick to me.
I can accept the possibility of their being a creator of all that we know (and don't know). I cannot accept that such an entity would care what you, I, or anyone else does at all.
The God of the Abrahamic religions cares entirely too much about the affairs of people. That "God" is so transparently human, I don't know how more people don't realize it's made up. This "God" experiences something as petty as anger? Really? Really?
When my mom married my stepfather, who is Catholic, we both took classes to prepare to receive the Eucharist and Confirmation. I was 12 at the time and it was immediately apparent that no one had the answers to the questions I had.
Scientists can't make something live. Not even simple cells. When you die that life goes somewhere. The doctors can fix you and still not be able to bring you back to life. So when they figure out what that life force is I'll stop believing in anything. Until then I'm dying to find out what happens to your soul. All I can say is that no one knows, because there's only one way to find out. All they can do is make stuff up to explain it. If there's a God I think he got bored with his little science project long ago. May have even forgotten all about us. You know, on to bigger and better things.
What you SHOULD have said was, "There's nothing worse than an Atheist who forces their beliefs on someone".

Although he does not wear the captain's "C" on his jersey, Dustin Pedroia is considered the de facto leader in the Red Sox clubhouse.
So, when manager Bobby Valentine seemed to call into question Kevin Youkilis's commitment Sunday night that the Sox third baseman wasn't "physically or emotionally into the game as he has been in the past for some reason,'' Pedroia stepped up and his support for Youkilis.
The Sox third baseman rebounded from a 2-for-10 start to the season by going 4 for 10 with six runs, three RBIs, a walk and a sacrifice fly in the first three games of this season-opening homestand against the Rays.
"I know Youk plays as hard as anyone I've ever seen in my life and I have his back and his teammates have his back,'' Pedroia said. "We know how hard he plays. I don't really understand what Bobby's trying to do, but that's not the way we go about our stuff around here. I'm sure he'll figure that out soon.''
Valentine said he met with Youkilis, who visited with the manager in his office before Monday's game against Tampa, and apologized for any offense the third baseman may have taken at his remarks.
"I told him the last thing in the world I want you to think is that I'm doing anything to criticize you,'' Valentine said. "I told him I was just giving an answer to a question and I should've been more specific ... I don't know if he accepted my apology, but it was very sincere. The last thing I wanted him to think that it was anything but an answer to a question that seemed to be jabbing at him.''
When he was asked if Valentine's was to try to motivate Youkilis, Pedroia replied: "Maybe in Japan or something, but over here in the US we're on a three-game winning streak and we want to feel good and keep it rolling.
"We feel we have a good team and we just got to get each other's backs and play together, because if we don't do that, I don't care what sport you're playing, you're not going to win. This game is hard and Youk's a great player and he works his butt off and we all know how hard he works."
