(WARRENSBURG, Mo.) A week of two-a-days for some of Missouri's best high school football players was capped off by the 2013 Lions All-Star Game at the University of Central Missouri on Saturday.
Fueled by four touchdowns from former Maryville quarterback Jonathan Baker, the Gold squad played the Blue squad to a 26-26 tie.
Baker was just one of seven state champions on the field Saturday. The Class 3 Champion Spoofhounds were also represented by head coach Matt Webb, RB/DB Derek Stiens, and TE/DE Tyler Tripp.
Class 1 Champion Hamilton sent the tailback tandem of Derrick and Devan Hughes along with WR/DB Jalen Richman, DE/LB Kolby Reeder, and OL Matthew LaPiana.
The St. Joseph products contributed to the score beginning with Baker finding former Central Indian and future Missouri Western Griffon Chad Bruder for a 44-yard touchdown strike.
Lafayette graduate Jurrell Green also found the end zone on a sweep in the second half. Former Irish teammate DL/LB Austin Drennen and Bishop LeBlond RB/LB Austin Dawkins took part as well.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:08 PM GMT on October 01, 2010
A large and complex region of disturbed weather (Invest 97L), centered about 800 miles east of the Lesser Antilles Islands, is headed west-northwest at 15 - 20 mph and will bring heavy rain showers and gusty winds to the northern Lesser Antilles Islands on Saturday and Sunday. Wind shear is a moderate 5 - 15 knots over 97L, and the waters beneath are very warm, 29°C. However, recent satellite imagery shows that the intensity and areal coverage of 97L's heavy thunderstorms have decreased this morning, thanks to some dry air being ingested into the storm. The SHIPS model predicts that wind shear over 97L will rise to the high range, 20 - 30 knots, Saturday through Tuesday, but some of the global computer models depict only moderate amounts of shear for 97L during this period. The NOGAPS model is the only model currently showing significant development 97L, and that model predicts 97L will be near Puerto Rico on Monday, the Dominican Republic on Tuesday, Haiti on Wednesday, and Eastern Cuba and the southeast Bahamas on Thursday. NHC is giving 97L a 40% chance of developing into a tropical depression by Sunday, but as of this morning, had not tasked the Hurricane Hunters to fly into the storm over the next two days. 97L will slow down to 5 - 10 mph on Sunday, bringing the potential for an extended 3 - 4 day period of heavy rains for the islands in its path. Even if 97L does not develop into a tropical depression, its slow motion may result in life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and eastern Cuba next week.
Figure 1. Morning satellite image of Invest 97L.
October hurricane outlook
October is here, and it is time to take stock of where we stand and how far we have to go before hurricane season is over. The beginning of October traditionally marks the two-thirds point of hurricane season; approximately one-third of all hurricanes and 28% of named storms occur after October 1. Tropical Storm Nicole brought us up to fourteen named storms for the year, and I expect about 4 - 5 more named storms this year with 2 - 3 of these being hurricanes. That would add up to 18 - 19 named storms for the season, putting 2010 in 3rd - 5th place all-time for most named storms. Since record keeping began in 1851, only four seasons have finished with more than eighteen named storms. These seasons were 2005 (28 named storms, with the 17th named storm, Rita, occurring by October 1); 1933 (21 named storms, with the 18th named storm occurring by October 1;) 1995 (19 named storms, with the 15th named storm, Opal, occurring by October 1;) and 1887 (19 named storms, with the 10th named storm occurring by October 1.) The most likely time to get activity is during the first two weeks of October. There are still two weeks of peak hurricane season left before the activity traditionally begins to decline steeply (Figure 2.) Given the record warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic this fall, the presence of La Niña in the Eastern Pacific keeping wind shear lower than average, and the observed increase in late-season activity in recent decades, I expect this year's peak portion of hurricane season will last until the end of October. I predict three named storms, two hurricanes, and one intense hurricane will form in the Atlantic this month, with two named storms and one hurricane occurring in November - December, making 2010 as the third busiest Atlantic hurricane season of all-time.
Figure 2. Climatological frequency of Atlantic named storms and hurricanes.
Jamaica cleans up after Nicole
Tropical Storm Nicole lasted only six hours as a tropical storm, but the storm's torrential rains hit Jamaica hard. Nicole's rains killed at least six people on the island, and at least thirteens others are missing and feared dead. The storm cut power to 170,000 island residents, and caused millions of dollars in damages. Wunderground member JamaicaZed wrote me to say his rain gauge in the Kingston suburb of Norbrook caught 17.39" of rain Monday through Thursday, with 11.10" coming on Wednesday.
Historic rainfall event for eastern North Carolina ends
The rains have finally ended In North Carolina, where tropical moisture streaming northward in advance of Nicole generated a historic rainfall event this week. Wilmington, NC set records this week for the heaviest 3-day, 4-day, and 5-day rainfall events in city history, and the month of September ended up as the second rainiest month ever recorded in the city. A remarkable 22.54" of rain fell on Wilmington during the 5-day period Sunday through Thursday. The previous record was 19.06", set in September 1999 during Hurricane Floyd. Fortunately, eastern North Carolina was under moderate drought conditions prior to this week's rainfall onslaught, with just 0.18" of rain falling during the first 25 days of September. Only minor to moderate flooding is occurring on North Carolina rivers, with just one river, the Northeast Cape Fear River near Chinquapin, expected to experience major flooding. Portlight.org is beginning to identify needs in Eastern North Carolina in the wake of the flooding, and expects to perform the first deployment of their new relief trailer within the next few days and send a truck loaded with water, food and personal hygiene supplies.
The most remarkable thing about Wilmington's second-wettest month in history is that it came without a hurricane affecting North Carolina. All four of the other top-five wettest Septembers in history were due, in large part, to hurricanes:
#1 23.41 inches 1999 (Hurricanes Dennis and Floyd)
#2 22.72 inches 2010 (plume of tropical moisture in advance of TS Nicole)
#3 20.10 inches 1877 (Hurricane Four)
#4 18.94 inches 1984 (Hurricane Diana)
#5 16.93 inches 1924 (Hurricane Five and Tropical Storm Eight)
Figure 3. Radar-estimated precipitation for North Carolina since Sunday shows that the precursor moisture from Nicole has brought widespread rain amounts of fifteen inches (white colors.)
Heavy rains and flooding for New England
The plume of tropical moisture that affected North Carolina is now triggering heavy rains in New England, and flood warnings are posted throughout most of New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, eastern New York, Delaware, and Vermont this morning. In New York City, heavy rains this morning have overwhelmed one section of the city's subway system, and flooding closed several key road arteries in the city, snarling the morning commute. About two inches of rain have fallen so far this morning in the city. Severe weather is not expected, and no tornadoes were reported yesterday in association with this weather system.
Elsewhere in the tropics
Disturbed weather continues in the Central Caribbean, where the remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole will bring isolated heavy rain showers today to Hispaniola, Jamaica, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, and northern Honduras. The GFS model predicts this activity will concentrate near Hispaniola over the weekend, then push northwards into the Bahamas, with a subtropical or extratropical storm forming over the Bahamas on Sunday or Monday. This storm could bring 2 - 4 inches of rain to the Bahamas Sunday and Monday. The storm will then move north-northeastwards, parallel to the U.S. East Coast, and not affect any other land areas. Several of the models are predicting the formation of a tropical depression in the Mid-Atlantic 5 - 7 days from now, in a location that would not be of any danger to land areas.
Next update
I'll have an update Saturday morning.

The 2006 Lebanon Campaign and the Future of Warfare: Implications for Army and Defense Policy
September 25, 2008
Authored by Dr. Stephen D. Biddle, Mr. Jeffrey A. Friedman.
Critics of irregular-warfare transformation often cite the 2006 Lebanon campaign as evidence that modern nonstate actors can wage conventional warfare in state-like ways. This analysis assesses this claim via a detailed analysis of Hezbollah's conduct of the campaign at the tactical through theater-strategic levels of war.

Following in the Footsteps
of the Group of Seven
May 22 to September 6, 2010
Following in the Footsteps
of the Group of Seven
celebrates the inspiration of the Canadian landscape. This exhibition traces the work of Jim and Sue Waddington who have a passion for locating the actual sketching sites for artworks by members of the Group of Seven, including Franklin Carmichael, A.Y. Jackson, A.J. Casson, Arthur Lismer, and J.E.H. MacDonald. Juxtaposing the original artworks with photographs taken by the Waddingtons in the La Cloche Hills in Killarney where these Group members camped, canoed, portaged and sketched, the show will allow visitors to examine iconic images of the northern Ontario landscape and discover the real inspiration behind them. It will provide insight into the working methods and distinct personalities of the artists through the circumstances surrounding their trips—climate conditions, the physical challenges faced, methods of travelling, and choice of location. Viewers will observe how the Canadian landscape has changed in the past century by comparing the artistic interpretations by the Group in the early to mid-twentieth century with photographs from the present day.
This exhibition is developed by McMichael curators, Sharona Adamowicz-Clements and Linda Morita, in collaboration with the Waddingtons. It will feature major canvases, oil sketches and pencil drawings, as well as archival materials, drawn from both public and private collections.
The Waddingtons' story also inspired the McMichael to develop an innovative Web 2.0 project that launched in December 2009. FootPrints: Legacy of the Group of Seven takes its online visitors through the adventures of Jim and Sue, and into the McMichael's story where over 200 unique art objects can be viewed. A Community Forum is also on the site, designed to promote visitor engagement with the McMichael and encourage Canadians to share how art and nature have become part of their lives. Log on to www.groupofseven.ca today and share your passion for Canada and its beautiful landscapes that inspired some of our most revered works of art!
Jim and Sue Waddington
Jim Waddington, a retired professor, and his wife Sue, a retired nurse and homemaker, have found a new full-time calling as they search for the painting sites of the Group of Seven artists. Both were born and raised in southern Ontario, and eventually settled in Hamilton where Jim taught Physics at McMaster University from 1970 to 2004. As children, Jim and Sue were outdoor enthusiasts. Later with their own family, they began camping in 1968, canoeing in 1972 and eventually orienteering in 1975. At the same time, they made their first visit to the McMichael gallery in the early 1970s. All of their interests coalesced in 1977 when they set out to find the exact painting location of A.Y. Jackson's Hills, Killarney, Ontario (Nellie Lake) in order for Sue to do some research before undertaking a rug-hooking project.
The Waddingtons have camped in every province in Canada but Killarney Provincial Park remains a special place for them. They focus much of their effort on locating sites where Group of Seven sketches for paintings were done in the La Cloche Hills in Killarney. On a typical canoeing trip, they might spend the entire first day paddling and portaging (with 160 pounds of camping gear including a lightweight tent, dehydrated food, clothing, a canoe, and other equipment), before setting up camp for the night. Subsequent days would be filled with hiking, climbing the hills, and more canoeing and portaging to investigate potential locations and photograph them.

Since 1994 Brazil has enacted programs and policies aimed at reducing the country's historically high levels of social and economic inequality. Those programs have indeed produced significant reductions in class inequality; but what have been their impacts on racial inequality, as measured by black/white differences in education, earnings, life expectancy, and other indicators of social wellbeing? And how have similar measures of racial inequality evolved in the United States during that same period? As of 2010, which country has the better claim to being a true racial democracy?

October 09 2010 09:46PM
On November 27, 2007 we launched OilersNation.com roughly 45 days past our target date of the start of the season. January 28, 2008 we launched FlamesNation.ca, a mere 27 days past our deadline of "New Years or bust." April 10, 2009 saw the launch of CanucksArmy.com completely missing our goal of "catching the wave of playoff drive fever."
Well here we are barely 2 games into the 2010-11 NHL season and we have launched our newest work place productivity destroying site. Sure its a Saturday Night. Sure Citizen Alpha had to sacrifice his weekend to hang with Wanye at Nation HQ to get it launched. That is a small price to pay to launch a site for a team we cannot stand.
Today - TheLeafsNation.com begins.
Every time we launch a new site the cat calls begin. "Why the hell would you want Vancouver to have a site Wanye? Can't the Oilers win every game and have the other 29 teams fold their franchises?"
No way Ray.
We have plans baby. Big plans. Plans that involve getting a band together and leaving this small town once and for all to go to Nashville. Then when we get there people will finally see what we have known since we were just a little girl. That we can be a Big Country Star and -
Er wait - different plan.
We want to see a Nation in every Canadian NHL City. It is our duty as a pyjama wearing Canadian hockey blogging/singing sensation. Plus, on some level we feel for Leafs fans. Suffering since 1967. Forced to watch Brian Burke sitting all high and mighty in the press box every night. Having to consider Tomas Kaberle to be a franchise d-man. That can't be easy can it?
For heavens sakes Dion Phaneuf is their Captain! All of you Flames fans should be giggling nightly in your 700 count sheets that you were able to ship him out of town. And besides, why shouldn't the 29th place team in the league have a Nation site? Misery loves company right?
While you have been enjoying your summer in a speed boat with topless supermodels, we have been scouring the face of the earth for top quality Leafs bloggers and negotiating with Toronto Sports Radio. Think that was easy? They can't even believe that computers are available west of Mississauga. But we got it done and are pleased to announce the signing of luminary Pension Plan Puppets to the site as our first contributors to the site.
More announcements will come in the following days on TheLeafsNation. The rest of us will be left alone on our respective sites to debate the merits of our particular teams. But in the meantime, do your ol' pal Wanye a favour will ya? Go tell whatever Leaf fans you know to put the 2-0 celebrations on hold for a minute and zip over to the newest site on the interwebs.
You have our undying gratitude and will receive a cheque for $6 in the mail*
Sexily yours,
*cheques will not be valid
October 09 2010, 10:04PM
What's with theleafsnation. Just call it thelosers.com and everyone will know which team you're referring to. Why don't you be grammatically correct and call it theleaves.com. Please don't put anything on this site again about Toronto, T.O. or anything from Ontario---the armpit of Canada.
hey guys, i love the fact that you are expanding the nations, but you need to add links to the other nation sites, so its easier to find them when looking for the other guys opinions
October 10 2010, 12:34PM
All hail the Canadian Hockey Nation!
October 10 2010, 01:13PM
Hey! That's my picture with the mustache!
The Leafs don't deserve their own nation. Wait.. maybe we can invade their nation and destroy them in honor of Thanksgiving! Edit: And OMG, my first fist!
Fine, I'll tell one friend Wayne. But that's it. I hate leaf fans lol
October 09 2010, 09:58PM
I love the fact that there are more team nations, but I'm not down with the logos... I wish the wicked-cool FIST was reserved for Oilersnation and not the godless flames or leafs.
October 09 2010, 10:00PM
I reject your offer to go to that horrible site but will recommend it to any leaf friends I know.
October 09 2010, 10:07PM
Yeah, but they can't comment on polls, so ... so there.
Edit: Curses! After further examination it appears they can. Well, whatever.
October 09 2010, 10:11PM
A sad day for all Nations involved. A sad day indeed...
Saying that good luck on the new venture, God knows there isn't enough leafs coverage already!
Oh, Wayne, I was wondering why the hell you didn't post a Squeelicious blog over Eberle! I'm glad you have a good excuse, though the leafs isn't good enough in my books!
leaves... nice. I can't believe that's never occurred to me.
October 09 2010, 10:41PM
I just read your other article and must say, I nearly did the same as you for Hall at the Pre-Season game but they were all sold out, only Eberle jerseys left. Sholda got one!
What happens when you start a Montreal Nation?
Does it become CanadienNation? Because Canada is a nation, this might confuse us abusers of alcohol! I'm already confused, I've confused myself! Call it HabsNation please, my head hurts!
October 09 2010, 10:44PM
This is dumb. Who would ever wan to write for that site. Ever. They would have to be wrong in the head.
What a minute - is this all about money? I am beginning to think it is. Some kind of create a place for hockey chumps to visit and exploit them by linking up with advertisers to brainwash them.
I thought all the stuff on the right were just Wanye's recommendations of good things to buy and do - kind of a list of favorites from a buddy. I was using them as a life guide - kind of treating Wanye like a life coach. I've gained like 50 lbs because all I do is eat wings, fajitas and pizza and drink beer at the Pint - there were no adds for carrots so I just presumed that they were bad for us. I was just about to sign up for Herbal Magic to deal with it...
Screw you Wanye - I am never coming back here to line your fancy velvet bourgeoisie pockets again!
So, I am totally excited to see if the momentum continues in tomorrow's game. Anyone else?
October 09 2010, 11:22PM
I would think that his pockets are lined with velour.
October 09 2010, 11:45PM
You should contact Sean McIndoe (Down Goes Brown) to see if he'd write for the new Leafs site. His stuff is pretty witty.
I know where all this is going: a cage match between Oilers/Flames/Canucks/Leafs/Canadiens writers.
It is inevitable. It is your destiny.
October 09 2010, 11:47PM
would that make Wanye everyone's father?
October 09 2010, 11:53PM
would that make Wanye everyone's father?
That way leads only to madness...
October 09 2010, 11:56PM
That is our destiny.
Down Goes Brown is actually one of my favourite bloggers out there. I think he writes for the New York Times though now and won't want to accept our proposed payment of a dead bee, a comb and a non redeemable game piece from McDonalds Monopoly circa 2002.
But never say never I suppose. We have some MSMs on board in the next few weeks that should provide some zip.
Perhaps you could throw in a few previously used scratch & win cards and roll-up the rim to win Tim's cups. That might be just enough to swing the deal...
Ottawa. How could I forget Ottawa? Oh, wait...
Does it become CanadienNation?
Uh... HabsNation?
I can't wait for JetsNations & NordsNation.
October 10 2010, 12:49AM
This font change is really messing with my head.
Or else it's the Bailey's.
Leafs. Canucks. Flames.
*slowly shakes head*
*continues using asterisks to p1ss off anti-asterisk guy*
October 10 2010, 07:50AM
That is our destiny.
Down Goes Brown is actually one of my favourite bloggers out there. I think he writes for the New York Times though now and won't want to accept our proposed payment of a dead bee, a comb and a non redeemable game piece from McDonalds Monopoly circa 2002.

You promised me the comb. You're dead to me.
October 10 2010, 10:42AM
Wanye, I hate to break it to you....there is already a Leafs Nation where Leafs bloggers can vent....it's called TSN.com
hey guys, i love the fact that you are expanding the nations, but you need to add links to the other nation sites, so its easier to find them when looking for the other guys opinions
This ^
Times are tough Wanye, but I bet if you upped the ante with a button and a fluffy piece of pyjama pocket lint he'd be on board.
Ps: Congrats on the addition to your nation of nations
October 10 2010, 02:36PM
Congratulations on your growing empire. Leafs fans don't deserve your eminence amongst them... but as long as their sponsors pay I guess it's all good ;-)

Simplifying Web Services Description Language (WSDL) Editing
By Leon Barnard on Sep 16, 2007
Leon Barnard is an Interaction Designer in xDesign, who is working on SOA/BI and NetBeans products. He recently moved from Los Angeles to Prague and is enjoying Czech food and not needing a car.
My job as an interaction designer is to create designs that help users accomplish their tasks more quickly and/or more easily. Sometimes this is done through surface-level changes like adding emphasis to frequently used actions, adjusting spacing and layout, or by using clearer instructions. The most successful projects, however, often involve taking a very complex task and changing its components so that achieving the desired result becomes less complex. This is much more difficult to do, yet more fun and rewarding. I was recently tasked with making the development and design of WSDL files easier. Since the task is so complex, I wanted to try to devise a better way of accomplishing it that would help novices learn the technology, as well as help experts focus on what they care about most.
WSDL ("Web Services Description Language") is a complex language used to create web services. Web services are computer programs that can be used by many different organizations or individual programmers, to perform a function they can't perform themselves or perhaps that they don't want to try and recreate themselves. An infinite variety of transactions and queries can be conducted quickly and efficiently without requiring any special software or network configuration. WSDL has a standard format for taking a request, processing the request, and then providing a response to the source of the request. The processing part is where a company, like Google, would provide its program's function (called a "service", or "web service" in this world). While the format is standard and predictable, it's also created with the computer, not the human, in mind. So the syntax is relatively complex and unintuitive for most less-than-expert folks.
These characteristics of WSDL syntax distract users from their primary task and add confusion, especially for novices. The precise 'what', 'how', and 'where' that the user is concerned with takes up relatively little space in the code. Ideally, this content would take precedence, and the rest would go to the background or, even better, be handled "behind-the-scenes" automatically.
Our design addresses these issues. The biggest change that we made to the existing editor was to move to a more visual, connection-based presentation. In this way, users can see, even at a glance, which pieces were connected to which, allowing them to follow the stream of connections across the file. It prevents errors of mis-typing the names of objects to be connected, because creating a visual connection automatically writes the appropriate code for the user. Next, the core 'what', 'how', and 'where' elements are represented as salient visual objects that draw the user's attention, while the container objects are shown simply as dotted lines surrounding their contents. These visual representations allow users to easily see what they care about most, yet also understand how they are grouped. Finally, some workflow improvements were added to train novice WSDL users and save time for both experts and novices. These include: dragging-and-dropping from a palette, previewing valid drop locations, automatically creating objects and their containers (if necessary) when a connection is made, prompting for necessary configuration information when certain types of objects are added, and being able to collapse groups of objects that are not being worked on, among others.
In summary, the new design offers the following benefits:
- Uses a flow/connection-based model for visualization.
- The focus is on the meaningful elements (not the "container" elements).
- Follows the principle of "recognition rather than recall".
- Drag-and-drop for faster and more intuitive use.
- Multiple steps can be performed at once.
- Is more discoverable and approachable for novices.
Here are some more snapshots of the new design:

WNY Flash and Abby Wambach should be saluted; Hope Solo should be scolded
Congratulations to the Western New York Flash, who used a thrilling comeback to win the WPSL Elite championship Saturday at Sahlen's Stadium on penalty kicks over the Chicago Red Stars. Toni Pressley's 25-yard shot with just second left in extra time of regular rescued the Flash, tying the match at 1 and forcing overtime. Then, just like in last year's WPS Final at the stadium, WNY walked away champion on PKs. You have to give a lot of credit to that young team and its coaching staff. Those players, just as they did when trailing for 70 minutes in Wednesday's semifinals, never stopped working or believing that they could find a way. And somehow, they did. Good for them. To be sure, this could have been a different result if the fourth-seeded Red Stars didn't lose two of their top attackers, forward Ella Masar (hamstring) and midfielder Lori Chalupny (ankle) oddly both in the 30th minute. But, the final tally on the year shows WNY beating Chicago twice in the regular season (3-0 and 2-1) and finding a way to walk away with the trophy on Saturday although the result goes into the books as a tie. Three championships in three straight years – not too shabby for Flash coach Aaran Lines and the entire organization. The man sure does have an eye for talent and her certainly did a lot more coaching and coaxing this season compared to last. In 2011, the Flash were a juggernaut full of veterans and stars. Lines told me he felt like more of a a manager – of playing time with women coming and going from national team duty – than a coach in 2011. This year required both, but certainly more on the coaching end. At least five pro rookies made significant contributions for WNY, including Pressley and fellow defender and Florida State alum Tori Huster and forwards Stephanie Ochs, Laura Heyboer and Katy Frierson. How long before some women's national team makes a serious bid to hire Lines? There was some speculation last fall that his native, New Zealand, was interested but nothing came of it.
I'd love to see the Flash invite the Ottawa Fury, who beat the Pali Blues in PKs for the USL's W-League title, down to Rochester for an exhibition match to pit the two champions of each top women's league in America against each other.
SAHLEN GETS PROMOTED: Alex Sahlen, a starting defender who also has been club president of the Flash, is now the organization's managing Partner, the club announced today. This position will be in addition to her duties as president. All further communication regarding club operations and potential partners will be directed to her.
ABBY KEPT HER COOL: I wasn't able to watch the first half of Saturday's 3-0 win over Colombia live, but I was following it on Twitter and was shocked – just like everyone else – when Lady Andrade threw that right cross at Abby Wambach's eye. I'm just as stunned the U.S. Olympic Committee hasn't used video replays of that and thrown Andrade out of the Olympics already. On Monday, FIFA did impose a two-game ban. But, credit to Abby for keeping her cool. She once again gave young players a good lesson: Get your revenge by scoring a goal, not with some retaliatory cheap shot. A lot of players would have done that immediately or sometime later in that match. But Wambach knows how dumb that could have been. Get caught doing that and it's a red card. That would have gotten her tossed from Saturday's match AND meant a suspension for Tuesday's final group stage match against North Korea. "We like to call it ice. Stay ice cold," Abby said after the match. "They're trying to get me to retaliate and I'm proud of myself for not doing that." Of course, the Americans have already qualified for the quarterfinals, so I wouldn't be surprised if Abby plays only a half on Tuesday (12:15 start). Why risk an injury in what has turned into a meaningless match?
REALLY, HOPE? Why should we be surprised by anything Hope Solo says or does or tweets anymore, right? She has shown enough times before that she lacks a filter and instead of thinking things through before hitting "SEND," and realizing there is a time and place for everything and that her actions can affect the bigger picture, Solo just fires away. The U.S. goalkeeper was absolutely wrong to call out NBC commentator Brandi Chastain for what I thought was fair analysis of the Americans' defending, particularly Rachel Buehler, on Saturday.
"Its 2 bad we cant have commentators who better represents the team&knows more about the game @brandichastian," Solo tweeted. "Lay off commentating about defending and gking [goal keeping] until you get more educated @brandichastain the game has changed from a decade ago."
For the record, here is all Chastain said: "Rachel Buehler with the giveaway there. As a defender your responsibilities are defend, win the ball, and then keep possession, and that's something Rachel Buehler needs to improve on during this tournament."
As Chastain, a defender in her final few years on the U.S. squad, said Sunday in response that it's her JOB to analyze and tell it like she sees it and she's not going to change that. It's not her job to be rah-rah all the time and a homer. If Solo had a problem with Chastain, trust me, all she had to do was make one phone call and she'd have Chastain's ear to sort it out. Instead, she retreats to Twitter. Why handle it like an adult when you can blast someone in 140-character lashes? The U.S. women's soccer family is truly that. The women do feel a kinship. Well, many do. Me-first Solo isn't one of them. She took her tantrum, as she typically has, public and didn't keep it in house. Coach Pia Sundhage and Wambach and veteran Christie Rampone had a meeting Sunday with Solo to discuss how to handle this situation and future ones. (Gee, haven't we been down this road before with Solo?) Hopefully, they got it straightend out and maybe there even was a bit of a scolding of Solo. We'll never know, unless Solo spills it. The coach and her team captains are mature enough to keep that stuff in-house. But Solo marches to her own beat. Always has. So you never know. She stirred the pot again a bit more Sunday afternoon with an exchange with her former Atlanta Beat coach, James Galanis, a good man who was defending Solo. Hope intimated in a tweet that Chastain is only jealous of the current U.S. team possibly eclipsing the glory of what Chastain, Julie Foudy, Mia Hamm and others achieved in the 1999 World Cup (the brief exchange was deleted on Twitter). Again, that's just Solo showing her ignorance. Chastain, by the way, is a soccer icon. Two World Cup wins and two Olympic golds. She's not threatened. She was just doing what she's paid to do. Listen, I want this U.S. team to win gold and not just because Mary Abigail Wambach was born and raised in Rochester and is someone I've known since she was about 13. I think this team deserves it. But nothing they can do now or probably ever can match or surpass what happened in 1999. Never again will we see 90,000 fans in one stadium for a women's soccer match. That's no slight on this group, it's just reality. What this probably was all about goes back to some comments Chastain made a few weeks ago about Solo's positive drug test – the one the IOC cut her a big break on.
"It's news that they don't need," Chastain told Larry Brown Sports after Solo tested positive for a diuretic she said was unknowingly in premenstrual medication. "As athletes, we have to be more careful. Whether you've been told one time something is OK, it's always good to double- and triple- and quadruple-check. Something as innocuous as a cold medication to clear up the sniffles could derail not only you as an individual, but perhaps a whole team."
So, I think, Solo was just waiting to pop off at Chastain and did it Saturday under the guise of being a good teammate, sticking up for Buehler. Gimme a break. A good teammate doesn't create a distraction that could (even though I don't think this will) distract or create division in the locker room. We all know Chastain and many others, some of Solo's current teammates included, didn't like the way Solo took her complaints public after former coach Greg Ryan benched her in favor of veteran Briana Scurry in the 2007 World Cup semifinals, a 4-0 loss to Brazil. Heck, they kicked Solo off the team. And, maybe there IS a rift between Solo and Chastain that existed even before the past month. But, see the big picture Hope. YOU are the star now. It's your time. Don't ruin it with a lack of maturity. Being outspoken can be OK, just not when you're so out of line.

Daily Journal
TUPELO – The city will seek a grant for two community storm shelters that, combined, would be able to hold some 2,200 people in the event of a tornado or other extreme weather event.
One would be located in Theron Nichols Park in Ward 7 and cost nearly $500,000; the other in Dot Cooper-Kelly (formerly Lee Acres) Park in Ward 3 and cost nearly $600,000.
"I'm not proposing we do this – we've got other priorities for our money – but I'd hate the chance to pass up considering this," said Mayor Jack Reed Jr. during a City Council work session Tuesday at City Hall. "That's our challenger here, in tornado alley."
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency will provide the funds, allocated by FEMA, to communities who win the grant. It will pay 75 percent of the project costs.
City Council members are expected to authorize its grant writer, Terri Blissard, to apply for the grant. That could happen as early as Nov. 20.
If the city wins, the grant wouldn't be available until next year.

Press Release: NewTek Releases LightWave™ 10.1 with New Stereoscopic Features and Interactive Production Workflow
July 28, 2011

NewTek Releases LightWave™10.1 with New Stereoscopic Features and
Interactive Production Workflow
"We're using LightWave 10.1 for everything-from lighting and shading, to working on material from other pieces of software, as well as just producing everything in it-from start to finish," explains John F. K. Parenteau, managing producer at Pixomondo Los Angeles in Santa Monica, California. Pixomondo is currently using LightWave in the creation of Steven Spielberg's new TV series "Terra Nova," slated to premiere this fall. "LightWave provides a very fast turnaround for us. It has become a great tool, particularly with its new capabilities," explains Parenteau.
New Features Provide Impressive Results
LightWave 10.1 enhances creativity with new stereoscopic features that provide access to all major stereo camera rigs, and the ability to dynamically correct for toe-in distortion in the animation pipeline. Additional stereo enhancements include interactive OpenGL off-axis adjustment of the right and left camera planes, click-and-drag convergence point adjustment in the viewport, and the ability to disable the anaglyph representation of the stereo camera in OpenGL. Also in LightWave 10.1, interocular and convergence points can be dynamically animated over time to track stereo changes within a shot.
The LightWave VPR allows artists to directly interact and easily adjust lights, textures, volumetrics and more, within the viewport. Artists can also use the VPR to view updates, quickly deliver realistic, environmental walkthroughs, and perform virtual location scouts. LightWave 10.1 extends the functionality of the VPR with the support of clip maps in the VPR render, the addition of object and distance dissolve, and improved nodal shaders like the new Skin material node that works with the VPR. The Skin Shader node uses a proprietary model for subsurface scattering for an easier method of replicating realistic skin textures.
LightWave 10.1, with integrated Autodesk Geometry Cache Support gives artists the ability to include or exclude models, morphs, animations, cameras and lights, upon export. Other workflow features in LightWave 10.1 offer the ability to import joints as LightWave bones for greater compatibility with other programs; multi-threaded mesh evaluation optimization and sub-d mesh freezing acceleration; linear color space workflow improvements, including new support for .ICC/.ICM monitor profiles, and more. Additional LightWave 10.1 features include:
- Virtual Studio Tools-supports InterSense Virtual Camera Tracking System (VCam™) and 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator™ 3D mouse, allowing interaction with models and scenes in real time
- FiberFX™-hair and fur shader now supports VPR and includes improved speed, stability and displacement handling
- Linear Color Space Workflow-supports custom Look Up Tables (LUTs) for more realistic lighting and compositing flexibility, color space correction for HyperVoxels™, XYZ, Lab, RGB and CMYK data, and more
- Updated User Interface (UI)-interactive channel sliders, added control for custom colors, and numerous workflow enhancements deliver a more dynamic user experience

LightWave 10.1 is now available. The update is available as a free download for owners of LightWave 10.

Lopud, Kolocep and Sipan belong to the the Elafiti Islands archipelago - some of Croatia's most beautiful green islands covered by forests with lots of sunshine and sandy beaches, free of traffic, and under an hour's sailing time from Dubrovnik. Our yachts or kayaks are occasionally escorted by friendly dolphins or tuna that are often seen in the area. The sea is blue, clear, warm and friendly.
Day 1 - Saturday: Arrival at destination - Kolocep kayaking and sailing to Sipan island
After the arrival at Dubrovnik Airport or harbour you will be transferred to Zaton Bay, a village just outside of Dubrovnik. After boarding we will sail out northwest to Sipan island on our modern catamaran yacht for up to 10 passengers with a lot of deck space, comfort and very good sailing performance. Our first stop is Kolocep island, ideal for sea kayaking. For the night we will anchor in one of the most beautiful bays of the area for dinner and a swim.
Accommodation: catamaran.
Day 2 - Sunday: Sipan island, cycling and hiking
Luka Sipanska, at the far end of the island, is a charming and romantic fishing village in a bay surrounded with palm trees. Its beauty makes it a favorite mooring place of sailing yachts. Sipan is the largest of the the Elaphiti Islands. We will explore its landscape, castles, chapels and monasteries by bikes or on foot. A pleasant day will be spent walking in the serene ambiance of the village, tasting local seafood and wines and enjoying a swim. We will sail between the other Elaphiti Islands with occasional swimming or snorkeling stops ending in Ston �" a lovely old town untouched by tourism, with pleasant cafes and restaurants.
Accommodation: catamaran. Meals: B.
Day 3 - Monday: Mljet Island National Park sailing, cycling and swimming
The third day of your holiday is reserved for Mljet Island National Park. Two salt water lakes surrounded by lush, green forests, the larger one with a small island in the middle, make this island a spectacular location for kayaking, hiking, cycling and swimming. We will cycle from the catamaran to the lakes, where you can take a boat to the small island with a 12th century Benedictine monastery. In the late afternoon we will sail towards the Peljesac Peninsula and anchor in a quiet bay near Zuljana Village.
Accommodation: catamaran. Meals: B.
Day 4 - Tuesday: Peljesac Peninsula kayaking and snorkeling
Today we explore the Peljesac Peninsula, one of the most successful and famous wine producing regions in Croatia. It is a true oasis of peace with its vast vineyards, salt and oyster farms, quiet towns, narrow streets and hidden beaches. We will spend the day sea kayaking to the White Beach, a very special bay which can be reached only by boat or kayak. Its caves and reefs make it an ideal place for swimming and snorkeling. This is the last day of activities: in the afternoon (around 1 pm) Huck Finn will transfer you to Zaton Bay on the mainland.
Accommodation: guesthouse in Zaton Bay. Meals: B
Day 5 - Saturday: Departure
Transfer to Dubrovnik for homebound flight. You are welcome to schedule your homeward transport for any time. If you decide to spend more time in Croatia, our guides will be happy to recommend other beautiful places to visit - especially those you won't find in tourist guide books.
Meals: B
Pets may not be enjoying staying on the catamaran boat.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Have several of these. Work great for small 1.5, wake baits & wiggle warts. The latch system is heavier duty than the old style Plano boxes & has held up great for me.
From: Jeff: MO 11/28/15
Comments: I have had one for almost a year now, they hold up you can leave it out in 100 degree heat and they don't warp. Also I hold my 6XD, DD Bombers, and even Spro DD and my one box as well as my smaller cranks has 30 crankbaits in it.
From: Bobby: Hermiston, OR 7/14/15
Comments: they keep water out and stay locked. they fit perfectly for jerk baits any type of hard bait and even perfect for roboworms and other soft plastics. only box i carry.
From: Joey: 11/24/14
Comments: Erick, we are sorry that you had issues with the latches on this box. We will be forwarding your concerns to the appropriate department so we can look into correcting this, and please call customer service at 1-800-226-9868 to get your box replaced. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for choosing Plano.
From: Plano: Plano, Illinois
Comments: the box it self hold lures well, in any series but the the latches are crap. I have 8 of these boxes and every last one has at least 2 latches broken off...dont know if its the cold or the plastic is to rigid but I wasted my money on these...box no good of it wont close
From: Erick: So Cali
Comments: If you are looking for a box to hold your medium sized crankbaits then get the plano large crankbait box. This box works great for small crankbaits but with a 8-10 size bill it will only fit one. Now small 15's I can fit like 3 in each which gives me 33 crankbaits in one box.
From: Heath: Leighton, AL
Comments: This is a perfect box for your KVD 2.5s, bomber series 6s, or the Strike King series 5 or 5XDs. 2 of each of these baits will fit pretty easily in each compartment, so you could have up to 22 crankbaits total. Also perfect for spook type baits. I fit 3 hollow body frogs comfortably in a compartment as well. Anything bigger like the bomber series 7s is one bait only so keep that in mind. Overall a really good use of space.
From: Seth: Spokane, WA

Predict The Jets Record
Posted 02 May 2013 - 08:32 PM
We get the 3rd pick in the draft missing out on both clowney and bridgewater...I could see geno getting the jimmy clausen treatment if the jets were able to grab bridgewater (or whoever the top QB prospect is next season).

Offensively, we are still weak. But I think our run offense is going to be better. Shonn Greene was awful. Chris Ivory and Mike Goodson are both explosive RBs, if they stay healthy they will be good. The OL has depth finally. The WRs and TEs are weak, but QBs make them. So it still depends on the QB...
The underrated addition to our offense is Marty Mornhinweg, hes a real OC unlike Tony Sparano. He knows QBs and has a long history of coaching top 10 offenses.
That being said, I don't expect a winning season. We have a young team that is rebuilding. Hopefully they show promise, young players playing well, and we have a lot of optimism in 2014 with over $60 mil in cap space and a roster with young talented players.

He took over the playcalling duties in 2007 and was the OC for the 49ers years ago. His resume is much better than any OC we have had in a long time.
Of course if you don't find a solid QB, none of it matters.

So in other words, firing Sparano, getting Milliner instead of a sidelined Revis, bringing in Garrard to push or surplant Sanchez, cutting Tebow, having Rex back calling defensive plays, moving Coples on the outside so he can rush the passer against TEs and RBs, having a healthy Holmes, upgrading the OL and getting rid of the dead weight at LBer will make us twice as worse as last season?

SecondHandJets, on 03 May 2013 - 08:38 AM, said:
I think we will be a better team this year than last. I still see us as 8-8. We have some holes we need to address. Fortunatly they are holes that can be filled before week one. I expect us to go after a TE when cuts start. I also expect us to resign Edwards and if a safety is released we may pursue that as well.

More holiday mailing tips:
Always use a complete address. Include all address elements, including apartment numbers, suite numbers, and directional information. Print return address in the upper left corner.
Select a box that is strong enough to protect the contents. Be careful when reusing boxes – they can weaken in the shipping process.
Cushion items so they don't shift in transit.
Remove batteries from electronic devices and wrap separately.
Place an extra address label with the delivery and return address inside the package. This ensures the safe return of an item that could not be delivered should the outside label become damaged or fall off.
Always use tape designed for sealing shipping boxes. Do not use string, cellophane and masking tape.

I wouldn't bet that the hip-hop star/entrepreneur/producer/"cultural icon" really drew it up, rather than helped choose from competing suggestions. Yormark called the black-and-white motif a major change from the red, white, and blue of the previous logo, and noted it was the only black-and-white one in the league.
One logo is a shield containing a basketball and the letter "B." The other is a circle with a "B" on a basketball, ringed by "Brooklyn" and "New York." (Yes, they're selling a lot of gear, as shown in the picture below right, from the Brooklyn Nets Twitter account.)
Yormark, asked by Rovell about principal owner Mikhail Prokhorov's promise of a championship in five years, pivoted and said suites had sold at 75% (really?) and sponsorships were going great.
He didn't specify, but, in late March, Forest City Enterprises reported that "64 percent of forecasted contractually obligated revenues for the [Barclays Center] arena are currently under contract."
New advertising: "Hello Brooklyn"
A new 30-second commercial, below, uses the work "Hello" to preface the following terms:
- History
- Tradition
- Icons
- Strength
- Confidence
- Black & White
- New Home
- Electricity
- Future
New advertising: "Brooklyn Stand Up"
A second promo video, lasting 1:48, addresses Brooklyn as "you," as in "You're a vision," linking past and present. "Your streets pulse to your own beat," it states, with a shot of a row-house block quite different from the Atlantic Yards plan.
The narrator states: "And now, Brooklyn, we root for the same cause, because we believe in the same things that you do, that neighborhood is family and loyalty never goes away." Tell that to residents of Prospect Heights and nearby either displaced by the Atlantic Yards project or bearing the brunt of its impact.
The video ends with the word "Hello" in several different languages.
From the Nets
In-house Nets scribe Ben Couch wrote, in his View from Couch: Brooklyn, Wait No More:
Here it is.Emphasis added; Couch is smart enough to know how 1957 cannot be 2012.
The logo. The black. The white.
The Brooklyn Nets have arrived. As a born-and-raised Brooklyn resident, whose parents still live here and work minutes away from the Barclays Center, it's a day I've been waiting for since the proposal was first floated in 2003. And it's a day that brings a new look to professional sports, a timeless one grounded in city history: the signage of New York's unparalleled subway system.
The new primary logo – created by Brooklyn's own JAY Z – retains the shield from its previous iteration, and adds that iconic Brooklyn 'B' to the basketball that has been part of every logo since the franchise's 1967 inception as the Americans. The Dodgers had their lettermark, and the Nets have added another model for the borough to bear. "Brooklyn," of course, is spelled out below. Nets CEO Brett Yormark called this "the new badge for Brooklyn," and JAY Z believes the design's boldness demonstrates confidence in the new direction.
The secondary logo, of the 'B' inside a basketball, surrounded by the words "Brooklyn New York" immediately popped an image into my head: "Planet Brooklyn." It's hard to explain the pride native Brooklynites feel for their home ("BK," "Bucktown," the "Brooklyn Zoo"), how outsiders don't get it and never really will; one measure might be trying to think if you've ever met someone from Brooklyn who said they were from "New York." Another could be the lines I once wrote in a spoken word poem:
I like to sport attitudes like
I'm better than you
because I'm from Brooklyn
… and that's just how we do.
Perhaps then, it seems odd that pride has found a partner in loss, the focus often narrowed upon 1957, when the beloved Dodgers left for "La-La Land" – as Borough President Marty Markowitz described Los Angeles Thursday. But "Dem Bums" wove themselves into the community in ways that perhaps are no longer feasible.
My elementary school in Midwood, P.S. 193, was named "The Gil Hodges School," after the first baseman for the "Boys of Summer" teams of the late '40s and '50s; he once lived across the street with his wife Joan, who remained long after Hodges passed in 1972. Hodges remains the player to receive the most votes for admittance to the Baseball Hall of Fame without ever crossing the threshold, fitting for a standout on teams that lost four World Series between 1947 and '54 – also finishing second in the National League three times and third once – before breaking through for the borough's only championship in 1955. "Wait 'til next year!" became a rally cry that resonates even still.
Brooklyn, you have only to wait for the fall.
