As episode No. 6 of "The Ultimate Fighter 16" opens, UFC President Dana White is lamenting the previous week's decision, in which Team Nelson's Nic Herron-Webb was denied the opportunity to fight in a sudden-victory round. The fighter, his coaches and White all thought he deserved a third round, but Roy Nelson does say Nic made a few poor decisions in the fight. It's an awkward feel in the locker room, and Roy's approach seems to be wearing thin on some of his fighters.
Later, it's time for Julian Lane and Colton Smith to grab some dinner. They say there's no food available, so they simply cook up some chicken that their opponents had been marinating. Understandably, Team Carwin is not happy, and Julian has absolutely no remorse at all. Team Carwin thinks perhaps Michael Hill might have done it, and they throw out a few half-hearted accusations. Michael doesn't appreciate it, and he tells Matt Secor he's ready to throw down over the blame. Michael's teammates, who could admit what they did and end the beef, don't.
The next day, it's off to the gym for the fight announcement. Team Carwin has selection of the matchups, but coach Shane Carwin doesn't offer up a fight to the budding rivals. Instead, it's his squad's Eddy Ellis against Team Nelson's Colton.
As we meet the fighters, Eddy talks about his record, which is an unremarkable 16-12-1. He admits he didn't really take fights with any rhyme or reason but that he has grown and matured in recent years. He is 10-1 in his past 11 official fights, so there could be something to that. Shane brings in Eliot Marshall to help him prepare for the bout. Meanwhile, coach Trevor Wittman is putting the gameplan together.
Colton has wrestled since 4 years old and credits his toughness to his single mom. He admits he was a bit of a troubled youth, and his mom kept him busy by enrolling him in every possible sport she could. Colton later enlisted in the Army, and he continues to serve as a combatives instructor. Roy seems to think the key to victory will be using his length and wrestling prowess. After the close of practice, Colton admits to Julian that he's not a fan of the front kicks Roy's coaching staff wants from him. Julian advises him to just forget about the strikes and focus on what he does best.
Eddy seems to believe his extensive experience will prove the difference in this fight. Colton thinks what he has learned in the military is what propels him to success. After setting up the contest, it's time to fight.
Round 1 – Referee Herb Dean oversees the fight. Eddy pushes forward to open, and they move quickly into the clinch. Eddy looks for a trip takedown but instead is overpowered by Colton, who winds up in top position. Eddy defends well and climbs back to his feet, where he eventually separates. Colton lands a few strikes from distance and then muscles in for another takedown. Eddy again refuses to stay on the floor and climbs back to his feet. Eddy starts to move forward again, and he's finally finding a home for his straight punches. He drops Colton with one such blow and winds up in top position when they hit the deck. He switches out to the side and looks for an armbar. Colton spins free, but he's bloodied and hurt as they restart. Eddy scores another takedown, and Colton turtles up in the final minute. He gets back to his feet and survives until the bell, but it's obvious Eddy took the round.
Round 2 – Between rounds, Colton and Roy have a little communication issue on the adjustments that need to be made. Still, Colton comes out and works immediately to top position. Colton looks to isolate an arm from top position, but when it's not there, he uses elbows to punish his opponent, and the blood starts to flow. It's a complete reversal in momentum, and Colton is in complete control. More elbows come in, as Colton dominates from side control and sometimes a solid crucifix position. Eddy has been unable to do anything to stem the attack, but he benefits from an odd Dean standup with one minute remaining. Eddy tries to press forward on the restart, and he defends a takedown. He's looking to strike, as well. Instead, a Colton right dazes his opponent, and he just survives until the bell. It's a clear Colton round, and it looks like we should be up for a third round.
As it turns out, we're not. Yet again, Dana can't believe it.
Colton Smith def. Eddy Ellis via majority decision.
As it turns out, two 10-8 scores in the second frame, earned Colton the decision. Colton believes there should have been a third and comes into the locker room to tell Eddy as much. Colton has a big cut over the right eye, and it will be interesting to see if it affects his availability. But for now, Team Nelson stops their opponent's run, and Team Carwin is now up just 3-2.

After living in Austin for six years, Brit McDaniel moved back to Memphis and brought with her some of the "Buy Local" ethos that pervades the Texas mecca of culture.
She has opened a new business here – Paper & Clay, an outlet for ceramics she makes and sells – and she sees a plethora of positives about both the small-business community in Memphis and about starting a new venture here.
McDaniel finished a Kickstarter campaign back in May to raise money to buy equipment she needed, and she found a studio space in Cooper-Young. She's in the studio every day, either making ceramics or performing some other function associated with her business like accounting or marketing.
She's also selling her work through the online outlet Etsy, and in stores beyond Memphis, in places like Michigan, Washington state and Oxford, Miss.
(Emily Spence)
"I think that starting a business in Memphis right now is really a beautiful thing, because it's affordable and it's accessible," McDaniel said. "It's easy to start something new here, and I think that there are several small businesses that are really pushing for that sort of environment here.
"I'm able to have a home and a studio here for less than what I would pay just for my home in Austin. It makes it much more doable. Part of the reason I did the Kickstarter is I didn't want to start out my business in debt. I've really been trying to put everything I make back into the business."
That includes selectively introducing the community to her work through what might be considered non-traditional channels. One such example is through pop-up events.
Hoot-Louise has been hosting pop-up shops showcasing local artists and creative businesses. One such recent pop-up featured McDaniel's work, which Hoot-Louise will start carrying soon.
McDaniel's work also can be found in the store at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art and at a shop called Amelia in Oxford. Her Etsy site, www.paperandclaystudio.etsy.com, offers an online source, as well.
"Here in town, a lot of people have contacted me through email to come look at my work, and I also try and schedule things like pop-ups," McDaniel said. "At the same time, I want to try and be really selective about where I sell my work."
She describes her work as modern functional ceramics. Much of it is utilitarian – things like cups, bowls and the like. Each piece is hand-thrown, glazed and fired.
"I do occasionally go off on a whim just for fun, for a break," she said. "But the idea is to create a handmade line of pottery for people who really appreciate that clean, simple, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic."
The business was born as a result of some "soul-searching" she did in 2012. She studied ceramics in school and loved it but didn't think at first she could turn it into a career. At some point, she changed her mind and decided to give it a try.
She's already thinking about a physical retail presence, and she plans to be part of the events surrounding Art Trolley Tour at the end of the month.
"I'm trying to be active and get out and about in Memphis," she said.

Good things have happened for the Philadelphia 76ers this season each time they have lost consecutive games.
The Sixers try to avoid losing three in a row for the first time and kick start another winning streak when they host the Boston Celtics on Friday night in the opener of a home-and-home set.
The 76ers closed out November with three straight victories, but have lost their first two games of this month. It marks the fourth time this season that Philadelphia has lost two in a row, but the club has followed up each losing streak with victories in three straight.
The Sixers dropped a 105-88 decision to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday, never getting to within 15 points in the fourth quarter as the Wolves hit 13 3-pointers in the game.
Evan Turner had a game-high 19 points, his 10th game in a row scoring in double figures, and Jrue Holiday added 13 points and nine assists. He ranks third in the NBA with 9.3 assists per game.
"It was a rough game for us," said guard Jason Richardson, who had 14 points, seven boards and four assists. "We did a good job taking away their main two guys out, but other guys on their team stepped up and that is how they won the game."
Guard Nick Young did not play on Tuesday because of a hyperextended big left toe and is doubtful for tonight as well.
The Sixers, who visit Boston on Saturday, have won four of their past six versus the Celtics after losing 12 of the previous 14 encounters. That includes a 106-100 win at Boston on Nov. 9, which Turner paced with 25 points and 11 rebounds.
Holiday was also solid, netting 21 points with 14 assists for Philadelphia, which has won three straight at home versus Boston.
Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 24 points in that loss, Kevin Garnett had a double-double with 19 points and 10 boards, while Rajon Rondo dished out a season-high 20 assists to go along with 14 points.
Rondo leads the NBA with 12.8 assists per game and returned from a two-game suspension on Wednesday to score 17 points with 11 helpers in a 104-94 victory over Minnesota.
Rondo was handed his ban by the league for his involvement in a brawl with the Brooklyn Nets on Nov. 28. He shoved Nets forward Kris Humphries after what he believed was a hard foul on Garnett.
Pierce had 18 points on Wednesday as all five Boston starters reached double figures. That included Garnett, who tagged his former Timberwolves club for 18 points with 10 rebounds.
"I thought Kevin was terrific. I loved how aggressive he was offensively," said Celtics head coach Doc Rivers. "You could see he was looking to score, which is always nice for us, because his instinct is going to make him pass anyway. So that was good. He gave us such a great low-post presence to start the game. And I thought that kind of set the tone for us."
Boston has won four of its past six overall.

Will some one read this and help me revise this?
Thanks so much
Sue follows the same routine each day Sue goes to work. Sue wakes up at 7 O'clock in the morning. Before showering and brushing her teeth for five minutes Sue does stretching exercises. Wow! She sure is a disciplined person. Her breakfast usually consists of cereal and fruit with a quick cup of Sue's favorite coffee. Before sitting down to eat she fills the bowl belonging to Jordan with cat food and a small treat of canned tuna. After breakfast it is time to get ready for work. Sue's clothes are always clean and pressed the night before. Blue is Sue's favorite color and her pants and shirt and socks are all shades of blue. Even her shoes are blue. Sue gets dressed, and decides it is time to leave. Picking up the newspaper Sue gets in her car, pulls out of her driveway. Once upon the road Sue's day has begun and she turns on the radio.
Is there some reason why you have to use her name continuously?

DeKALB – DeKalb and Sycamore's girls basketball teams left the Convocation Center court and walked to their locker room Friday night.
The game they had just finished, a thrilling 46-42 DeKalb victory highlighted by a 30-point effort from Sycamore's Bailey Gilbert, certainly lived up to the hype of a matchup that pitted the two best teams in the Northern Illinois Big 12 East at the largest basketball arena in DeKalb County.
Yet it wasn't the night's main event as the boys game followed at 8 p.m. and many of the 3,700 fans arrived an hour or more after the girls tipped off at 6 p.m.
Basketball doubleheaders aren't uncommon among local high school teams these days. About once a month in the Northern Illinois Big 12, the boys and girls varsity each school's boys and girls varsity teams will play on the same Friday night.
But the girls games are rarely, if ever, scheduled as the second act.
"That'd be really cool. I wouldn't be opposed to it all," Sycamore senior Julia Moll said of the possibility of playing after the boys game. "I don't know if it would change anything, if we'd play worse, play better. We'd just go out and play and have a lot of fun."
From high school to the professional leagues, generating interest for women's sporting events is always a consistent battle. DeKalb boys basketball coach Dave Rohlman said his teams have been playing a handful of varsity doubleheaders each season since he became the head coach nine years ago.
"We want to make things equitable and I think it all started ... typically it was a Friday night when the boys played and the girls played earlier in the week like on a Tuesday," Rohlman said. "They wanted girls to get that prime Friday night spot."
Indian Creek's annual Hoopapalooza event was created five years ago as a way to try to draw more people to local girls sporting events. The Timberwolves play five high school games in one day at home, ending the night with the varsity girls game followed by the varsity boys game.
Indian Creek athletic director Ehren Mertz said the event has largely been a success and he's seen the Shabbona gymnasium fill up earlier and earlier each year. While the girls game has never been the final event, Mertz said he wouldn't be against switching the order in the future.
"We've got a good girls basketball team, we should for a few years," Mertz said. "They very well could be the big draw at some of these things. Anything is possible here at [Indian Creek]."
Outside of Indian Creek's Hoopapalooza, the Little Ten Conference doesn't schedule varsity doubleheaders for conference games. A number of factors come into play for small schools, including smaller rosters that often feature underclassmen dressing for games at the sophomore and varsity levels on the same night.
Hinckley-Big Rock girls basketball coach Greg Burks also said doubleheaders, no matter what the order of play, can feature distractions that hurt the quality of basketball being played.
"If you don't have a girls team with a great following, you've got people in the gym talking during free throws, not paying attention," Burks said. "Or if the girls are playing second, just leaving and that's not good either."
But H-BR has had "pack the place" nights in the past with games at Waubonsee College. When the girls basketball team was in the midst of winning back-to-back state championships in 2009 and 2010, the girls game was featured as the main draw on a couple occasions and Burks said the games made for a good atmosphere.
"It's kind of a great experience," said Jenna Thorp, a current Northern Illinois junior and former H-BR star who played in a couple of those games. "Most of the time ... it's usually the other way. It was kind of nice to be put more in the spotlight."
Next year the girls teams from Sycamore and DeKalb - both returning a vast majority of their key players - look to once again be the top teams in the NI Big 12. Each will feature players with Division 1 college talent and they very well could be the two local basketball teams – girls or boys – with the best chance of making a run to the state tournament.
While the solutions are never easy and it's highly doubtful the event order will change for next year's annual Sycamore-DeKalb game at the Convocation Center, maybe it's time to reconsider things on a different conference basketball doubleheader during the season.
"Friday's a big night," Rohlman said. "I just think it wouldn't be a bad idea to take it one more step and let [the girls] play the second game. I don't think it would be a major thing to change to give the girls the second game."

text: WALNUT — Bureau Valley North seventh-grade science students have been learning about Newton's three laws of motion. Newton's three laws seem to work perfectly on the chalk board, but in real life surfaces are seldom frictionless few moving objects are truly predictable. This is because outside forces interfere with Newton's perfect situations. Balloon racers rely on Newton's third law of motion. As the air rushes backward out of the balloon, it pushes the car forward in the opposite direction with an equal force. The seventh grade's job was to make the most of this force. While building balloon racers, they were able to discover how difficult it can be to make something work reliably.

Topic: Bounty hunter comp
I've had a an idea. A online Bounty hunt comp on the boards. the ideas for rules are, each day i would post as Vs thread for example bossk vs aurra sing and then ppl woudl vote, and the winner would go thro to the nxt round. I would count the votes. But Boba Fett isnt going to be in it. WHY you mite ask? Well he's is the best. This is to determan who is 2nd best in the fans opinon. Now i would welcome ppls' suggestions for who to include. all the bounty hunters from the movies(even ones like Sing who are in it for like 2 seconds) will be in it. Montross will be. D'haran will be. Durge will be. I'll try to include ones like Muh'wi Lin, Cydon Prax, but there is a limit for how many there can be.
Here is an idea how the rounds will be:
Greedo the younger VS Durge:Winner=durge
Dengar vs Cydon Prax:Winner= dengar
then the two winners will face each other.
WInner: Durge
Jango Fett vs Cradossk:Winner=Jango Fett
Zuckuss vs Ig-88:Winner=Ig-88
Jango vs Ig-88:Winner=Jango
then Durge vs Jango

I have to say, If I've left a mess, I wipe it up with a bit of loo roll. I'm about to wash my hands anyway, and I've just used my hands+loo paper to wipe excrement from somewhere else, so I don't think that wiping it off a toilet bowl is really any dirtier (especially since my actual hand hopefully never touches anything bad anyway).Leaving a skiddy toilet is gross and disrespectful to the person who has to clean it, especially when you consider the wages that most cleaners get. Minimum wage is not enough to deal with a stranger's poo, IMO.
At someone's home, most people I know try to refrain from going #2 if possible, and being discreet if it's not possible. It isn't discussed but seems to be some kind of unspoken rule that you should only poop at home.

A Tennessee legislator is catching heat for passing a resolution to honor himself.
While Tennessee lawmakers have long been criticized for wasting time and money on frivolous bills, some say this one tops them all.
Resolutions are basically congratulatory notes for an achievement, an occasion or a job well-done, and so far this year, lawmakers have passed 476 resolutions - each one typically costing taxpayers about $300.
Sen. Ophelia Ford has passed one to honor her intern, Sens. Matthew and Timothy Hill have honored their late grandmother but Sen. Jon Lundberg just passed a resolution to honor himself.
"I think it's important for us as a state to say, 'Hey, great job on creating jobs and moving the ball forward,'" said Lundberg, R-Bristol.
Lundberg's resolution, written by his own staff, honors his public relations firm, The Corporate Image, and says things like "the owners and employees of The Corporate Image are many such noteworthy persons" and "the company has continued to set the standard for the highest quality professional services."
"Ten years ago, I did this - I asked my state representative to do it. Now, the company is 20 years old, so who do I ask?" Lundberg said.
Lundberg said he paid for his resolution, so it didn't end up costing the state anything.
"My staff wrote it, I reimbursed the state the cost of the paper and all of that," Lundberg said.
And Lundberg adds he has resolutions for all of the milestones hitting businesses in his district.
"Is that important for those companies? Yeah," Lundberg said.
Lundberg passed another resolution back in 2009 honoring his daughter for graduating high school. When asked about that resolution Wednesday, Lundberg said he stands by that one, too.

Leadership within the Illinois General Assembly, along with Gov. Pat Quinn, again proved their own political priorities rank higher than effective state government.
The spring session of the Legislature closed May 31 without a solution to the state's most pressing problem – its pension shortfall estimated at more than $90 billion.
The inability of the Legislature to figure out how to resolve problems it created by not funding state pensions, as its members agreed to do, looms over every other issue.
One plan passed the House. A different plan passed the Senate. Neither accepted the other, and Quinn sat on the sidelines figuratively wringing his hands.
Another issue of particular local interest that failed to pass the General Assembly was an expansion of gambling. Danville is among five communities set to gain a casino if the plan ever passes.
In a state where the unemployment rate remains higher than the national rate, the Legislature had a chance to boost the economy – and it struck out again. ...
The Illinois General Assembly appears to be one of the most dysfunctional entities in government, yet its leaders continue to be re-elected. That's a reality that's difficult to understand.

The lights are on
If you've been wondering why Blood Dragon carries the Far Cry 3 name, the game's director, Dean Evans, is here to make it abundantly clear. Fans of Ubisoft's open-world jungle adventure will recognize the liberation of the enemy outpost and the opportunities for indigenous fauna (translation: dragons) to play a role.
Not only is the commentary pretty amusing, but the video provides a good look at the weaponry and over-the-top combat. The action is set to the original music provided by Australian group Powerglove, which we shared with you earlier.
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon arrives on May 1, 2013, for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
this looks absolutely ridiculous...ly awesome!

By Special Correspondent Jessica Yee
I also need to mention that New York City is Haudenosaunee territory and home to many other First Nations. Waiting to see if that's been mentioned anywhere. (Author's note: Manhattan "proper" is home to to the Lenape who were defrauded of the island by the Dutch in 1626 – see more from Tequila Sovereign).
Not that I'm surprised that this was a misstep in organizing against Wall Street or really any organizing that happens when the "left" decides that it's going to "take back America for the people" (which people?!). This is part of a much larger issue, and in fact there is so much nationalistic, patriotic language of imperialism wrapped up in these types of campaigns that it's no wonder people can't see the erasure of existence of the First Peoples of THIS territory that happens when we get all high and mighty with the pro-America agendas, and forget our OWN complicity and accountability to the way things are today – not just the corporations and the state.
Let me be clear. I'm not against ending capitalism and I'm not against people organizing to hold big corporations accountable for the extreme damage they are causing. Yes, we need to end globalization. What I am saying is that I have all kinds of problems when to get to "ending capitalism" we step on other people's rights – and in this case erode Indigenous rights – to make the point. I'm not saying people did it intentionally but that doesn't even matter – good intentions are not enough and good intentions obviously can have adverse affects. This is such a played out old record too, walking on other people's backs to get to a mystical land of equity. Is it really just and equitable when specific people continue to be oppressed to get there? And it doesn't have to be done! We don't need more occupation – we need decolonization and it's everyone's responsibility to participate in that because COLONIALISM AFFECTS EVERYONE. EVERYONE! Colonialism also leads to capitalism, globalization, and industrialization. How can we truly end capitalism without ending colonialism? How does doing things in the name of "America" which was created by the imposition of hierarchies of class, race, ability, gender, and sexuality help that?
I can't get on board with the nationalism of an "American" (or now "Canadian!") revolution – I just can't. There has been too much genocide and violence for the United States and Canada to be founded and to continue to exist as nation states. I think John Paul Montano, Anishnaabe writer captured it quite well in his "Open Letter to Occupy Wall Street Activists":
I hope you would make mention of the fact that the very land upon which you are protesting does not belong to you – that you are guests upon that stolen indigenous land. I had hoped mention would be made of the indigenous nation whose land that is. I had hoped that you would address the centuries-long history that we indigenous peoples of this continent have endured being subject to the countless '-isms' of do-gooders claiming to be building a "more just society," a "better world," a "land of freedom" on top of our indigenous societies, on our indigenous lands, while destroying and/or ignoring our ways of life. I had hoped that you would acknowledge that, since you are settlers on indigenous land, you need and want our indigenous consent to your building anything on our land – never mind an entire society.
I will leave you with this new art piece from Erin Konsmo (also pictured above), our fabulous intern at The Native Youth Sexual Health Network she created on "OCCUPY: THE GAME OF COLONIALISM". Hopefully you get the picture now.

Rutgers Basketball Battles, But Falls to No. 15 Marquette
Jamil Wilson scored all 10 of his points in the second half, including the late 3-pointer that put No. 15 Marquette ahead for good, and the Golden Eagles rallied for a 60-54 victory over Rutgers on Tuesday night.
Vander Blue had 22 points and made two game-sealing free throws with 13.9 seconds left for Marquette (22-7, 13-4 Big East), which kept pace with Georgetown and Louisville for the regular season title with one game remaining. Junior Cadougan added points 10 for Marquette.
Myles Mack scored 11 points and Jerome Seagears added 10 for Rutgers (13-15, 4-13), which has lost five straight and 11 of 12.
The Scarlet Knights held their biggest lead at 35-23 early in the second half. Each time Marquette got close Rutgers answered but, with the Knights leading 50-43, the Golden Eagles went on a 12-2 run to take their first lead since 2-0. Wilson hit a 3-pointer with 3:05 remaining to make it 55-52.

1st GP Richard Groenendaal – St. Michielsgestel: Beginners & Juniors
The big stars in the youth categories in the GP Richard Groenendaal were Danny van Poppel (Beginners) and Tijmen Eising (Juniors). Both showed once again they are the best rider of their categories.
Danny van Poppel, the son of former professional and top sprinter Jean-Paul van Poppel, dominated the younger race from start to finish and won with a lead of 38 seconds over Jeroen Meijers and Twan Brusselman who completed the podium.
In the Junior race it was Junior World Cup leader and Dutch National Champion Tijmen Eising who added another victory to his palmares. Eising had to start in the back of the field as he didn't collect much points in the national races. After a long chase he bridged up to the break with Lars van der Haar, Wietse Bosmans and Gert-Jan Bosman.
In the final Eising attacked and won with a lead of five seconds over Lars van der Haar and Belgian Wietse Bosmans. Tijmen Eising is the big favorite to prolong his national title in Huijbergen next weekend. Eric Emsky was the only American at the start and finished 18th, 2.27 down on the winner.

The East Central University community will watch history in the making with the inauguration of the 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama.
On Tuesday [Jan. 20] ECU will host a viewing of the inauguration on a large projection screen in the Estep Multimedia Center in the University Center. The viewing is free of charge. The doors will be open from 9 a.m. until noon. The swearing-in ceremony begins at 10:30 a.m.
The Centennial Celebration marking East Central University's 100th birthday in 2009 is officially underway.
The university was established as East Central State Normal School on March 25, 1909. A celebration was held in Ada when then-Gov. Charles N. Haskell signed the legislation, said Dr. Duane C. Anderson, ECU's interim president.
After two years of college, Rick Hooper decided he was headed in the wrong direction.
He wanted a different type of degree, so he left East Central University and moved to Irving, Texas, to complete a two-year program in electronics.
Motorists approaching the East Central University campus may do a double-take the first time they see a giant silhouette of a horse looming where houses once stood in the 800 block of East 12th Street.
Students in the Sculpture II class at ECU built the large-scale silhouette as the first installed work in a sculpture garden that has begun taking shape in the heart of the new Arts District of Ada.
Adults in Ada can sample a free yoga class Monday [Jan. 12] at East Central University. The Center of Continuing Education & Community Services will offer the one-hour class at 5:45 p.m. in Science Hall, Room 318.
No experience or equipment is necessary for the free class.
Two classes of sports and games for children in the gym and the swimming pool will begin next week [JAN. 12 AND JAN. 13] at East Central University.
The Gym/Swim Class for ages 5-12 begins Monday [Jan. 12] and will offer physical activities in the McBride Gymnasium during the first half and finish with a variety of aquatic sports and games in the McBride swimming pool.
Three graduates of East Central University's Environmental Health Science program have been commissioned as lieutenants junior grade in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps during a ceremony at ECU.

University of Montana Students Warned of Email Scam
A number of University of Montana students received an email claiming they'd been chosen as mystery shoppers. The offer to perform mystery shopping assignments required a payment. UM and the Better Business Bureau warn students to be wary of such offers.
The scam asked students to receive a FedEx package with a check for $1,800, deposit the check into their personal bank account and then "mystery shop" the post office by purchasing money orders with funds from the fake check they received. The scammers would have asked for the money orders from the student before the fake check bounced, leaving the student liable for the bad check. One UM student who was targeted asked the company questions about the legitimacy. When she informed them she would not participate they threatened to turn her into the police. Obviouslly, students are not breaking any laws by asking a potential employer questions about their company and the job.
UM students, if you have been targeted by a work-at-home scam, report it to the local police at the UM Office of Public Safety, 406-243-6131. You can also notify the Better Business Bureau by calling 509-455-4200.
This probably is a sign that I should not contact Mr. Wang who sent me an email the other day informing me that as soon as I contact him he can deposit $21,400,000.00 into my personal account. DB

Hung Out to Dry/Walkthrough
Hung Out to Dry
Niko looking for a car to chase the shop owner with
|Grand Theft Auto IV
|Vladimir Glebov
|Weapon/s needed:
|Pistol or Micro Uzi
The following is a walkthrough for the mission Hung Out to Dry in Grand Theft Auto IV.
- Go to the laundromat.
Go to the laundromat at Hove Beach, park the car and enter the shop. The shop owner will see Niko Bellic, throw a basket at him and run through the back door.
- Chase the shop keeper.
Chase the shop owner through the back door. You will see how he escapes in a van. Quickly get into either the Blista Compact or the Sentinel parked in front of you. Chase the shop owner following the same route he goes through. If you don't see him, look for him on the radar, but don't stop or you may miss him. When you catch up to him, shoot at the van's tires with either a pistol or Micro Uzi. This will make it tough for him to turn around corners, and will be easier for you to ram him. Don't shoot at his head, or you may risk killing him, failing the mission. When you get close enough to him, ram his van with your car. Keep doing this until he stops. Then, Niko will get out of the car and talk to him. After this, the mission is completed.

LAKE PLACID - "Thank you Lake Placid."
Those were the words Stephen Trull said as he looked up to the sky just after crossing the finish line to claim the overall title in the Lake Placid Marathon on June 8.
After finishing runner-up in the race a year ago, the 36-year-old from Burlington, Vt. came back to take the full-distance championship this time with a finish time of 2 hours, 44 minutes and 28 seconds.

Trull crossed the line more than five minutes ahead of his next closest rival, Charlie Bennett, but said winning the race wasn't easy.
"Just after the halfway point, I had to take a three-and-half minute porta-potty stop. I had to do it, and I had to fight back for 10 miles. When you do that, it's painful, but I really wanted to win the race. You really have to push your heart rate."
The victory marked Trull's second marathon victory during the past month in the Adirondacks after he took top honors in the Tupper Lake Marathon on May 19. The athlete of the 35-member strong Green Mountain Multisport team is also the two-time defending champion of the Green Mountain Marathon, which is held in October each year.
Trull, who also has competed in two Lake Placid Ironman races, was greeted at the finish line by his wife Michelle and his 3-year-old son Jackson.
"I'm really doing this for my son," Trull said. "Although he is only 3, I really want to show him if you put in the hard work, the effort and organization into things, you can really get good results. It doesn't matter what it is; it doesn't have to be an athletic endeavor."
This year, nearly 2,000 runners took part in the race, which featured a mass start that sent a wave down Main Street in the cool morning air. The overcast conditions proved to be ideal for a distance race.
Bennett, a 28-year-old from Goshen, finished second in 2:51:04, and New York City's Chao Zhou claimed third in 2:58:52.
Zhou was a first-time runner in the race and decided to enter the event after visiting Lake Placid for a vacation a few years ago. He returned again with his wife and young daughter for another vacation, and this time, it included a 26.2-mile run.
"When I first came here, I found Lake Placid very beautiful," said Zhou, who is 37 and now has four marathon finishes under his belt. "My goal wasn't to win. I just wanted to go under three hours. I did it. I'm happy."
Brian Woods of Saratoga Springs finished fourth in 3:00:03 and Brian Coughlin of Riverside, Conn. rounded out the men's top five with a 3:02:47 finish.
The women's overall marathon title went to Heather Wolfe, a 27-year-old from Anchorage, Alaska. Wolfe, who is spending much of the summer living near Rochester while training for next month's Lake Placid Ironman, picked off runners along the way to win in 3:27:59. Her goal was to prove that her boyfriend, Lee, was wrong when he said she wasn't in as good a physical condition as she was the last time she was training for the Ironman here.
"My boyfriend is my training buddy, and he thought that finishing around four hours was attainable," Wolfe said. "I had to prove him wrong. As it turned out, I was a lot faster than he thought I would be, so I guess I am in pretty good shape.
"Looking at the race, I don't think I got any faster as I went along," Wolfe added. "I was pretty steady all the way. I think the other girls were just slowing down. It wasn't my goal, but I'm thrilled I won."
Following tradition, the majority of runners competed in the half-marathon distance. The overall men's title went to 19-year-old Nick Marcantonio, who finished in 1:09:39. Last year's champion Michael Schram, of Tupper Lake, came back to defend his title but fell short of that goal when he placed second Sunday more than five minutes off the winning pace.
"I definitely wanted to win, and I thought I was ready," the 22-year-old Schram said. "I felt good, my training was good, and I was right up there early on. About seven miles in, I started having internal problems, and that forced me to take a lot of breaks. You just can't get in a good groove when you keep starting and stopping."
The women's overall half-marathon crown went to Miriam Beyer of Brooklyn, a 36-year-old who entered the race for the first time and wasn't actually looking to win.
"I just wanted to have a good race and enjoy the course," Beyer said. "It's so beautiful up here. I was looking at some of the results from the past races and I thought I could be competitive, but winning wasn't necessarily on my radar. I'm pretty excited."
Beyer's finish time of 1:26:40 was also good enough for a 14th-place overall result in the half marathon. Sonya Pasquini of Selkirk was second for the women with a 1:28:51 finish time, and Croghan's McKayla Nuffer was third in 1:30:00.
Lake Placid native and current Albany resident Janne Rand was the women's fourth-place finisher, crossing the line in 1:33:08. The 28-year-old was the women's champion at the half-marathon distance race in Tupper Lake, and said she again, enjoyed running in the Adirondacks.
"We were so fortunate this year," Rand said. "I love running in Tupper Lake and Lake Placid. Both times, it wasn't too hot and it wasn't too cold. The conditions were just perfect."
Forest Ledger of Lake Placid had a day to remember was the youngest competitor in the race. Celebrating his 15th birthday by running in the half marathon, Ledger smoked his personal-best time from a year ago by about 11 minutes. He finished in 1:33:23 place 32nd overall.
"I just wanted to be under 1:40, and really, do as well as I could," Ledger said. "I started to realize that I had a really good time going, and I just went for it. Heading up that last hill really hurt. I was in so much pain, I guess was going fast."
Jeff Edwards, who co-directs the race with Brad Konkler, said he was pleased that runners in this year's marathon were treated to ideal conditions, and added that he was again thankful for all the support the event received from the community.
"Obviously, it was an excellent weather day; maybe the only day of summer we will have this year," Edwards quipped. "Next year will be our 10th year of the marathon. That's quite an achievement. We are blessed to have great support and a great infrastructure for an event like this. A lot of the runners asked if we are going to do something special to celebrate our 10th season next year. I hadn't really thought about that before the race, but I'm sure we will come up with something."

Intel and AMD tussle over antitrust case evidence
Dueling file motions seek sanction
Intel and AMD crossed sabers in US District court on Wednesday with dueling motions seeking sanctions against one another. Both their calls for courtly relief relate to the other's supposedly abominable email-saving strategies for the antitrust case filed by AMD four years ago.
Intel to AMD: I know you are, but what am I?
Chipzilla swung first with a motion in Delaware's district court claiming AMD's retention policies aren't nearly so to notch as the company has claimed.
Back in 2007, Intel itself was forced to admit what it calls "lapses and errors in document retention" that resulted in an untold score of possibly relevant documents and emails for the case to be irrevocably destroyed. (AMD prefers the turn of phrase "aggressive auto-delete system" to describe its rival's former policy). But now Intel claims it has become a born-again data preservationist and fancies to have undertaken what it describes in Wednesday's motion as "what is likely the most extensive and expensive document remediation effort ever undertaken."
AMD, on the other hand, has maintained to the court that its document retention program has been "exemplary," Intel said. Yet because Intel reckons it understands from its own cock-ups that "exemplary" isn't easy, it's skeptical of the claim. The company asserts it has sought discovery of AMD's retention program, "which AMD resisted at every turn."
"It is now clear that AMD's exemplary preservation program suffered from myriad problems," Intel wrote in the filing. "These problems had to be dragged out of AMD, usually only after a Court order. At the end of this long and expensive process, it turns out that AMD's efforts were far from exemplary — rather, they were flawed and incomplete and resulted in massive data loss."
Intel said it would "rather focus on the merits of the case," but alas can't ignore AMD's supposedly serious retention failures and alleged efforts to conceal them from the Court.
"The gist of this is quite simple," Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy told El Reg. "We voluntarily told the court in 2007 of our problems and AMD, almost immediately, jumped all over us and pointed out how irresponsible we were and how responsible they were. Well, it turns out it wasn't so great after all. And throughout this whole process since then, they have tried to hide the fact that it's not an ideal program from us and the court."
Mulloy said is a span of time somewhere between November 2004 and March of 2005 when AMD was not retaining and producing documents when they were supposed to be.
The company asked the court to sanction AMD for these claimed failures and to compel AMD to remediate its document production with "responsive, unique, non-privileged documents" within 60 days of the order. It also wants AMD to take reasonable steps to provide Intel and the Court with a written summary of its preservation process within 15 days of the summary.
AMD to Intel: I'm rubber, and you're glue...
AMD, in return, dismissed Intel's accusation as having "no merit" and filed a separate motion on Wednesday regarding the rival company's alleged past and present failure to preserve evidence.
The filing asserts Intel has "severely and irreparably" harmed AMD's ability to present its case — adding Intel could have easily avoided its "evidence preservation fiasco" had it exercised a "modicum of diligence" in implementing and complying with an effective document preservation program.
"At a company where paper trails are strongly discouraged, Intel imposed a 'move-it-or-lose-it' document preservation regime where any document not manually saved was permanently expunged," AMD's filing claims.
The company also dismissed Intel's attempts to fix its data retention policies, calling it a "heralded, highly vaunted, but ultimately unsuccessful, attempt at remediation."
It also has something to say about Intel's accusations:
"Finally, deploying a favorite strategy of wrongdoers that 'the best defense is a good offense,' Intel besmirches AMD's preservation program as no better than its own. This counter offensive goes nowhere," the filing claims.
"In sum, Intel's feckless attempts at preservation have left AMD without the benefit of at least hundreds of thousands and probably over a million relevant documents with which to prosecute its case," it goes on to say. "How many exactly were permanently lost, AMD will never know."
AMD asks the judge order that the jury be told that Intel permanently destroyed documents and that the jury may presume the documents would have been favorable to AMD's antitrust claim.
AMD further requests the court order Intel to pay attorneys' fees and costs associated with investigating and prosecuting this particular motion.
"We are confident that the court will affirm our position on Intel's failure to preserve evidence, and see Intel's defensive motion as a meritless distraction tactic," an AMD spokesman told El Reg in an emailed statement.

The qualifications made this an impossible list. We really should have split this list into two different categories. I should have never opened up the list to anyone who was from Baltimore, played at an area high school, played at a local college or played locally at the professional level. I should have instead split that group up into two categories-players from Johns Hopkins or Maryland in one group and the rest in another category altogether.
You know how tough this list was? Think about the names I ended up leaving OUTSIDE the Top 16. I'd share them with you now, but I don't want to give away anyone who missed the list. Here goes. (Thanks to Inside Lacrosse, the Baltimore Sun, the Lacrosse Hall of Fame, Johns Hopkins, Maryland, Loyola, Towson and UMBC for assists on info, pictures, etc.)
16. Jim Darcangelo
I'm not trying to get anything past anyone. The bottom four spots on the list are claimed by players who perhaps aren't REALLY among the 16 greatest of all-time. But they all represent one of the area colleges who deserved to be recognized on the list. It became difficult to keep determining the NEXT greatest player in Hopkins history, so I decided to start looking elsewhere.
Darcangelo was a three time All-American as a midfielder for Towson, helping the Tigers claim the 1974 College Division National Championship. He was twice recognized as the Division II/III Player of the Year during his Towson career and went on to play for Team USA in three World Championships.

The Denver Art Museum's three-exhibit hit, "Passport to Paris," closes officially Sunday, but the show that made the biggest splash is sticking around.
"Nature as Muse," featuring the French Impressionist collection of local philanthropist Frederic C. Hamilton, will reopen Feb. 12 and remain on view through March 23. The show made headlines last month when Hamilton decided to donate the work, worth upward of $100 million, to DAM permanently.
Instead of having to pay $22 to see "Nature of Muse," the exhibition will be included with DAM's regular admission, which is $10 for Colorado residents.
Hamilton's donation of 22 pieces tripled DAM's Impressionist holdings and gave the museum its first works by Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne, plus important examples from Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Edouard Manet and other superstar painters.
The paintings were due back to Hamilton at the beginning of March and then set to be returned to DAM upon his death. The museum had made duplicate prints of all the works for Hamilton during the loan.
But, he said, the paintings might just be left in DAM's care now. "As long as I have these reproductions, I'm not going to have empty walls."
Hamilton, 85, who made his fortune in energy, said he is working with DAM to create a permanent Hamilton gallery to show the Hamilton collection.
For more information, call DAM at 720-865-5000 or visit denverartmuseum.org online.

Arkansas native, Elvis impersonator to perform on 'Late Show'
By Lee Hogan

CBS' Late Show with David Letterman will feature Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest winners, including an Arkansas native, as a part of its "Elvis Week."
Cody Ray Slaughter, the 21-year-old Elvis impersonator from Harrison, will start the week-long tribute Monday.
Slaughter was the 2011 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist, the youngest to win the award, which began in 2007, according to the official site of the king of rock 'n' roll.
The contest page says the winner earns the "ultimate" title, recognition by Elvis Presley Enterprises, $20,000 cash and other prizes. The contest is judged on four criteria: vocals, style, stage wear and stage presence.
Slaughter's website says the tribute artist began his entertainment career at age 13. Slaughter has performed in theaters across the country, including Branson's Tony Rio's Elvis Experience, Legends in Concert, 50's At The Hop and The Liverpool Legends. Slaughter also headlined the Tennessee Shindig in Pigeon Forge at the age of 17.
Slaughter has been a part of England's Elvis Easter Spectacular and is said to be returning this year. He also appeared on Fox Television's New Year's Rockin' Eve in December.
Slaughter currently plays Elvis in the Broadway show The Million Dollar Quartet, which refers to Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash. The name was given to the recordings the four artists made Dec. 4, 1958, at Sun Record Studios in Memphis.
The Late Show with David Letterman airs weeknights beginning at 10:35 p.m. Central time.

I saw Cody the first time when he was a young teen, and at first I honestly thought he was lip-syncing. He is that good.

The Jared Baldwin Plan Worked
Jared Baldwin looked grateful Friday afternoon. His smile exploded with every word he spoke. His eyes surveyed every aspect of each room he entered as if he was trying to soak in all the moments of the day for his own personal memory highlight reel.
He wanted to be there. He believed he belonged there. He didn't appear nervous, apprehensive or overwhelmed by the moment.
Baldwin, a North Carolina A&T track and field standout, accepted the inaugural MEAC Man of the Year award Friday at the 2012 Football Press Luncheon held at the Sheraton Waterside Hotel in Norfolk, Va. It marked the third time an Aggie has won MEAC Woman or Man of the Year as Baldwin joined softball's Renecia Lovelace (2006) and women's track and field's Loreal Smith (2009).
As Baldwin made his acceptance speech in front of the hundreds gathered to usher in the kickoff of the 2012 MEAC football season, his excitement was even more apparent.
All the gratitude he had for the people who helped him get to the podium to accept the award ran out of the Aggies triple and long jumper's mouth like a effortless sprint down the runway. His parents, the coach who recruited him - Roy "Spaceman" Thompson, the current coaching staff and the A&T Athletics department, all received a thank you with a smile.
Never was there a hint of entitlement from Baldwin, which was refreshing. The enthusiasm erupting through every Baldwin movement came from a man who was being rewarded for having an effective plan. This is how Baldwin, who grew up in Greensboro, saw it coming together when he first had the vision at Mendenhall Middle School. And it felt great!
Keep God first. Learn the skills it takes to be an engineer in college. Compete collegiately in track and field. Volunteer in the community. Enjoy college. Graduate with honors. Start working in your field immediately after graduation. The MEAC Man of the Year award was an unexpected treat at the end of this journey.
"I love being here," he said before the luncheon. "I love being in the moment. There are a lot of people here, so it looks like a big deal. To have a chance to speak in front of this many people is an honor. When your achievements and accomplishments are recognized by so many people it proves hard work pays off. It encourages you to keep working hard."
Before stopping off to collect his Man of the Year award, Baldwin was also rewarded with a cruise. In a few weeks, he will start work at The Boeing Company in St. Louis. He then plans to obtain an advanced degree under a program Boeing provides for its employees.
The strategy for getting here started with Baldwin's parents, Earl and Jean Baldwin. Baldwin said their role in it was love and setting an example. Both his parents went to college, which had a tremendous influence over Baldwin. He knew in middle school, he wanted to go to college to be an engineer. To put more on his impressionable mind, Baldwin had a brother and sister attend college with his brother earning a postgraduate degree at the University of Southern California.
Track and field became a part of the plan when he developed a love for the sport at an early age. Recruiters began to call, including a few inquiries from N.C. State, a school known for engineering and having top flight athletic programs. A&T's "Spaceman" also came knocking. He didn't have the facilities or the national reputation of N.C. State, but what he had was years of experience in coaching All-American jumpers, and oh yes, it didn't hurt that he worked at the top school for producing minority engineers.
"They had a great pedigree, especially with jumpers," said Baldwin, who graduated from A&T in May with a 3.43 grade point average. "The engineering program was just so impressive, I truly believed I could get where I wanted to go by attending A&T. Plus, I'm not one to go home much, so I felt like I could still have the college experience even though I was going to school in my hometown."
Baldwin's blueprint began to show flaws, however. After two years, Thompson retired. In an instance, the jump coach who was going to make him All-American was gone. In his place was uncertainty. Baldwin was hoping for a smooth transition, but he said it didn't turn out that way. The retirement left him and his teammates wondering about the future of the program.
"We (as a team) had to make a lot of adjustments," said Baldwin. "My mindset never changed. There are always going to be distractions, detours and detractors along the way. For me, going to college was always about getting my degree. You never know when athletics will be taken away from you. I knew my academics were going to take me further in life."
Track and field hasn't been bad to him either. Baldwin settled in with Katrina Allen as his jumps coach. In February, he won the MEAC indoor long jump championship and captured third place in the triple jump. During the outdoor season, he qualified for the triple jump at the NCAA Division I East Regional Preliminary Round on his last jump in a Last Chance Meet at A&T's Irwin Belk Track.
Even when the plan doesn't go smoothly, there are still lessons to be gained.
"It is all a part of growing up," said Baldwin. "Things like that make you stronger. I've always put academics before athletics, so I was able to focus."
His track and field future is unclear. There is a part of him that still wants to compete, but it still comes in distant second to furthering his career. He will train when time permits, but as for now, he can't make a full commitment to competing again.
He is still thankful for the opportunity track and field gave him to compete while seeing his plan come to fruition on an athletic scholarship. He excited for what his future plans hold because of where he was on Friday afternoon in Norfolk, Va. It worked. The plan worked.

Methuen police have closed a city hill to sledding after three sled crashes there, including one so serious that a woman had to be transported by medical helicopter to a Boston hospital.
Over the weekend, a 22-year-old, 17-year-old, and 11-year-old were all injured while sledding on the popular hill at Greycourt Park. The victims suffered head, back, and lower extremity injuries, Methuen Police Lieutenant Michael Pappalardo said. He did not say which victims suffered which injuries.
"We're not trying to prevent anyone from recreation or having any fun," he said. The hill remains open to pedestrians and for other uses.
"As a result of what transpired and to prevent any further injury, taking public safety into consideration, people were not allowed to utilize the hill for sledding purposes," Pappalardo said.
The hill, maintained by the city and located adjacent to Methuen City Hall, "could be considered hazardous," with multiple obstacles such as downed trees, tree stumps, rocks, and boulders, Pappalardo said.
No further details were immediately available.Lauren Dezenski can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

By Laurie Pearson, Staff Writer
Following the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14, 2012, and proposed tighter restriction on guns, both gun and ammunition sales have skyrocketed nationwide.
According to Lincoln County gun and ammunition dealers, in February the sales frenzy from the previous few months, though, began to calm slightly, but it's still busy, and there are still waiting lists for ammunition and guns.
Proprietors of Gatlin Guns and Golden Pawn Shop & Money Store seem to agree that in the aftermath of several tragedies involving guns and the national debate over gun control, many people panicked – and were worried about guns being confiscated.
In mid-December through January, Charles and Shantel Gatlin, owners of Gatlin Guns and Archery on Twin Springs Road, experienced a flood of gun and ammunition sales.
"We had all we could do to wait on customers and answer the phone the whole month of January," Shantel said. "We first started selling AR-15s … then .22 long rifles, Ruger 10-.22 and Savage," Shantel recalled. After the .22s flew off the shelf, then the handguns went and the ammunition to go with them.
"The media put fear into everybody … no laws have changed and nothing was banned," she said.
People coming from out of state were cleaning ammunition off one shelf at a time. Some were reselling it for a profit, others were storing extra ammo. "We had to put a limit on it," she said.
"Revolvers are hard to come by," Shantel continued. "A lot of females are taking Concealed Carry Weapon classes – revolvers are popular with females," she added.
But she also noted that manufacturers are making more handguns than they are repair parts for guns.
She noted that the run on guns and ammunition has been hard on hunters and re-loaders. Target shooters who reload shells are finding it hard to find certain gun powders and primers that they normally use.
"Primers are virtually non-existent," she said, explaining that people have been buying primers in mass quantity, then reselling for a bigger profit. "They let the people fight over it."
Once ballgames and other spring activities begin and things are calmed down, Shantel thinks that manufacturers may have time to catch up with the demand.
Stan Golden, of Golden's Pawn & Money Store agreed. "We had a huge run on them. The increase was mostly to females. We still have trouble getting ammunition," said Golden. Although Golden said he has always sold more hunting guns, people are now looking for handguns. "A lot of people are looking … not as much this month as last month."
Golden custom orders guns for people. He said most of his sales are local but sometimes people from other counties drop in to buy ammunition. He recently placed a double order for ammunition from his wholesaler in North Carolina. He feels the reason for the volume of sales starting in late 2012 was a combination of the uncertainty of the federal elections and the Sandy Hook shootings.
The price of ammunition is becoming prohibitive, Golden explained, noting it's cut down on the number of recreational shooters. A box of ammunition that used to cost $26 now costs between $44 and $48. The cost of handguns has also gone up, he says.
Sporting guns and ammunition sales in the sporting goods section of Walmart are estimated to have gone up tenfold. Although they don't sell handguns, an associate noted that the Fayetteville store is having a harder time getting guns and ammunition from manufacturers to sell. The local store is receiving less than five-percent of the guns and ammunition they normally did.
Background checks in Tennessee, which normally would take two to five minutes before December, began to take up to two hours. "That has stopped, it's maybe 10 now," said Shantel. That's far better than California, she said, where background checks were running 10 days behind schedule.
According to the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security statistics as of February 2013, in Lincoln County there were 2,089 current valid Tennessee handgun carrying permit holders.
Lincoln County ranks 48th among 95 counties with permit holders. Eight percent of its county adults hold permits, according to the website legallyarmed.com
The entire state of Tennessee had a total of 390,343 valid permit holders as of February.

The problem is that according to Cimini, we are going to have to go through ANOTHER week. They want a decision by Friday as interviews begin Tuesday.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Former Broncos GM Ted Sundquist interviewed late last week in New York for Jets GM job.
Interested in seeing what happens here. My expectation is that someone is in no later than Tuesday.

That said, the biggest err in judgement was relying on Rex Ryan for input in personnel.
If it is Khan, I only hope it gives us a little credibility. Khan isn't stupid enough to let Rex have any influence on anything other than free agents signed for one year only. I do no want anyone signed long term this off season.
@AdamSchefter: As @RoobCSN reported, Eagles interviewed former Ravens HC Brian Billick on Monday for their HC job.

If the Jets have named GM finalists, they haven't told any of them yet. Ex-Denver GM Ted Sundquist is also among those who interviewed there

BAA promises to get its Heathrow act together
£50m investment to prevent further snow chaos
Posted in Business, 24th March 2011 10:54 GMT
Heathrow operator BAA has promised to spend £50m at the airport to prevent a repetition of last December's anarchy, which saw the "wrong amount of snow" stranding thousands of passengers.
The Heathrow Winter Resilience Enquiry report (PDF/2.1MB here) into the fiasco summarises that the effect of the weather "was not fully anticipated" in the days leading up to the collapse of Heathrow.
It adds that BAA lacked "specialised equipment" for getting aircraft off the stands, that there were "failures in communication and coordination within BAA, and between BAA and airlines", and that crisis management teams weren't mobilised early enough.
The report notes that stranded passengers "experienced distress", and some airlines failed to provide obligatory "compensation and assistance ... in the event of cancellation, long delays and being denied boarding".
Among the recommendations made by the enquiry panel is that Heathrow "should adopt an improved resilience target that the airport never closes as a result of circumstances under its control, except for immediate safety or other emergency threats".
Another is that BAA and airlines should "actively work together to implement improved snow plans, improve command and control processes, and establish approaches to passenger welfare that are focused on the needs of the passenger".
Speaking to the BBC, BAA chief exec Colin Matthews said: "If the entire Heathrow community learns from this report, and works more collaboratively to promote passengers' interests, then this is a pivotal moment for the airport and its reputation." ®

Year Zero
Michael Golamco's keenly observed drama is given a well-acted production, directed by Will Frears.
Vuthy, who is still in high school, wants to come live with Ra, who is going to college in Berkeley. She doesn't think that's such a good idea. Making the situation more complicated is the arrival of both Ra's former lover Han (Louis Ozawa Changchien), newly released from prison, and her current boyfriend Glenn (Peter Kim). Whether they mean to or not, these three men place a large number of demands upon Ra, who is at a particularly vulnerable point in her life.
One of Ra's major regrets is that she never really asked much about her mother's past. She knew her mother fled Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge regime, but didn't press for details. Han seems to have the answers to at least some of Ra's questions, as he was a child survivor of the Killing Fields, and that common bond allowed Ra's mother to confide in him stories that she did not pass down to her children.
Sebastian delivers an emotionally rich performance, filled with subtle, yet strong choices. Lee nicely captures the awkwardness of adolescence, mining the humor of his role without ever veering into caricature. Changchien presents a well-rounded characterization that defies a lot of stereotypes about gang members, and he and Sebastian generate a steamy onstage chemistry. Kim's character is often used for comic relief, and the actor has a goofy charm that lends itself well to such situations.
Robin Vest's set is primarily a naturalistic domestic interior, but the designer incorporates some clever set pieces to mark changes in location -- most notably in scenes that take place in Han's car. Lighting designer David Weiner also does some good work, particularly when capturing the time of day or night in Ra and Vuthy's home, which includes a large sliding glass door that allows sunlight to come streaming in.
Year Zero shares a number of common themes with dramas about Holocaust survivors, as well as plays about immigration and identity. And in that sense, some of the material might seem overly familiar, and its ultimate message unsurprising. And yet, Golamco has crafted a strong, character-based piece that has moments that sparkle with originality.

Does it heck.
Here we pay homage to eight transfers that have all the makings of a disaster waiting to happen.
Will they come to fruition? Maybe.
Is that a good thing? You can decide for yourself.

Jay Bailey pictured marching bands and floats when his mother told him he was going on a march.
(Paul Schutzer/Time & Life Pictures/Getty Images)
"We thought of it as a parade," said Bailey, who was 6 years old in March 1968. "We thought of it as something fun."
The march, which took place March 28 of that year, from Clayborn Temple to City Hall by striking sanitation workers and black political leaders ended in violence. Bailey's mother is Elsie Bailey, retired principal of Booker T. Washington High School and in 1968 the treasurer of the Memphis branch NAACP. His father is Shelby County Commissioner Walter Bailey, who at the time was an attorney active in a different part of the civil rights movement.
"I can vividly remember when the windows started caving in," the younger Bailey recalled of a chaotic world in which he was looking up at everything, from people fleeing to police officers pursuingthem to the tall buildings on both sides of Main Street. "I can still smell the tear gas and hear those sounds as if it happened yesterday."
Forty-five years after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in Memphis on April 4, 1968, Bailey is like many Memphians 50 and older with a kaleidoscope of impressions about the events of that spring that affect their view of what the city was and what it is today.
"At that time, Memphis really was, in my opinion, at the forefront of social change," he said. "Although we certainly were not a Berkley, Calif., or one of the cities that had breached the barriers where the black power movement was heavy, we still had some really major players here."
Jack Sammons was a bit older, a seventh grader at St. Michael Catholic School in East Memphis, with a view of the city from the other side of the racial divide.
"Memphis was a focal point," Sammons said as he recalled being aware of the strike and the larger issues it raised. "As seventh graders, we probably had no concept of the global ramifications of what was happening in our own backyard. But it was a provocative time for young people like myself to just question what the hell is going on here."
And then King was shot.
"I recall seeing the National Guard," Sammons said. "They had tanks and half tracks. It looked like we were going to World War III right down Summer Avenue. In seventh grade that's pretty impressionable. My kids hear these stories and they look at me sometimes like it was exaggerated. But that was real."
For Janis Fullilove, then a student at the University of Memphis and active in the movement, there were already forces keeping black and white citizens apart even before the windows on Main Street started breaking and the National Guard came to town that spring.
"Memphis was such a segregated city at the time. … I couldn't go to my prom because the prom was in the evening," she said, citing curfews much more rigidly enforced in black sections of the city than in the white parts. "There was such a great divide between blacks and whites at that time that as you think back on it, it was incredulous that we even maintained some form of civility after the assassination of Dr. King."
– Jack Sammons, City Council
Fullilove and Sammons would go on to win election to City Council, and sit in the same chambers, behind the same rostrum and occupy the same office space at the same City Hall that the council of 1968 used in its fateful deliberations that year.
That council, the first of the mayor-council form of government in Memphis, had just taken office six weeks before the strike began in February 1968.
In his 2012 autobiography, Lewis Donelson, one of the members of the 1968 City Council, wrote of how the three black members and three of the 10 white members came to the conclusion that the council would have to mediate the labor dispute. And then they realized just as quickly that the strike was more than just a labor dispute.
Of the immediate aftermath of King's assassination, Donelson wrote, "The city was in shock and racial feelings escalated. The strike and its bitter fruit exposed the depth and breadth of white racism in Memphis."
Still ahead was a bitter hospital strike that broke along racial lines as well as the beating death of Elton Hayes, an Orange Mound teenager, by a group of law enforcement officers, their trial and their acquittal.
Sammons as council chairman in 1993 actually welcomed sanitation workers who staged the 1968 strike to City Hall as guests of the city.
"This time they were greeted at City Hall instead of the mayor greeting them with bayonets," he said of the effort by a council that had its own divisions 25 years after the saga of 1968.
"I felt rather profoundly that the council at that time was a dysfunctional family. Most of us really didn't know each other outside the confines of City Hall," he said. "You can't hope that things get better in this community."
So Sammons held a council retreat in Atlanta and took the ensuing political heat for the trip.
"My theory was you had to get them far enough away because you were going to piss them off if you talked about real challenges," he said. "I felt like if we could get them far enough away they couldn't turn around and drive home."
Jay Bailey has never held elected office although he did run in the 1980s for the Memphis City Schools board. His view of the city's politics today against the backdrop of the city in 1968 is an outsider's perspective. It has been formed since his childhood from being around his father and his uncle, retired Circuit Court Judge D'Army Bailey, whose own activism was more informed by the student movement of the 1960s as opposed to the NAACP experience or even that of King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
"We certainly believed in civil disobedience, but it wasn't necessarily the Martin Luther King version," Jay Bailey said of his family. "My orientation was more radical, more militant than most of the people who were from Memphis and who were of my age group."
Contributing to that orientation was the violent end of the 1968 march when Bailey looked up to see Gwen Kyles, who had been trying to lead him and her own son of about the same age out of the chaos.

"There was this young Guardsmen who put a bayonet to the throat of Gwen Kyles," Bailey said. "My dad, who had been at the front of the march – he had run to the back looking for us. He walked up to that young Guardsmen and pushed the bayonet out of her face and told the guard, 'Don't do that, son.' That's when they found the car to get us in and take us out of there."
Somewhere nearby, King himself had been hustled into the back seat of another stranger's car who happened to be driving across Gayoso at Main Street just as the march disintegrated.
"I have trouble understanding why our current city mayor and why some others who are in leadership positions are so passive. I just don't understand it," Bailey said. "Certainly they know the history of this city. They've been around. They've seen some of the same things I've seen but they see it through rose colored glasses."
Sammons said the assassination and its legacy are still with the city.
"We are still paying a price perhaps certainly more so than Dallas is with the JFK assassination," he said. "That part of town in many ways has become hallowed ground. It's provided a teaching laboratory for generations to come. I think Memphis has been wise to build on that rather than to run away from it."
For Bailey, the assassination wasn't a matter of an assassin from someplace else catching up to his target from someplace else in Memphis. It is inseparable from the problems the city had at the time, which prompted the strike that prompted King to come to Memphis against the initial advice of most of his inner circle.
"I think that Memphis is on the cusp of being able to be a great city," Bailey said. "But we haven't crossed the line yet and part of the reason we haven't crossed the line is we still have not gotten beyond 1968. It's like we're stuck in a time warp. We're still arguing about consolidating the school system. We're still arguing about consolidating governments. … We are really, really hampered by the demographic division."
Since last year, Fullilove has had her own "I Am A Man" sign taped to the front of the council rostrum where she sits and votes on city matters twice a month. It is as much a statement of her take on current issues as it is a statement that in 45 years someone who was in the marches of 1968 is now sitting where the council of 1968 sat.
"We have impoverished conditions just as they existed back in 1968 and that is a crime and a shame," Fullilove said, although she believes racial divisions that existed in 1968 in Memphis have been bridged.
"We have come so far. There's still much more work to be done certainly here in the city of Memphis," she said. "There are still the haves and the have nots and it is time that the have nots receive recognition not only from the haves but from the administration and from this legislative branch of government."
Her judgment about the council that once sat where she sits two Tuesdays a month is harsh.
"They certainly didn't care very much about black people. … That's not to say that the majority of people on this council care about black people," Fullilove said during a break in committee sessions last month at City Hall. "But I do think they care about making the city as a whole better. That's the difference between that council in 1968 and this council in 2013."
Sammons is among those who make a distinction between the council of 1968 and the mayor of 1968 – Henry Loeb.
"The stubborn image that our mayor at the time had built his successful political career on – that he would fight for your last nickel – it came back to haunt him and the rest of us," he said. "They (council members) I think had a broader view of the community than the administration brought forward."
Fullilove says her "heart changed" in the years after 1968 in ways no action from City Hall could have mandated. It was the 1970 production of the musical "Hair" at the University of Memphis.
"We got to know each other," Fullilove said as she talked of sensitivity sessions and exchanges during costume changes and rehearsals. "We just really became a family and had broken down those barriers."
In the inner-racial cast, Fullilove became friends with Cassie Gaines, who went on to work with Lynyrd Skynyrd and died in the 1977 plane crash that killed others in the band.
"We got to know our white counterparts and just became brothers and sisters, something that city leaders at that time did not do," Fullilove said. "But it was done on a college campus."
