Former Tennessee All-American John-Patrick Smith swept the singles and doubles titles this weekend at the Tulsa USTA Pro Circuit Event at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center in Tulsa, Okla.
After winning two qualifying matches to enter the tournament's main draw, Smith did not drop a set on his way his his first pro singles title. He easily defeated Chris Wettengel 6-1, 6-0 in the final Sunday.
On Friday, Smith and former UT All-American Ben Rogers captured their second consecutive Futures doubles title together, beating Nick Papac and Rudolph Siwy 6-2, 6-3 in the championship round.
"It was a great tournament, and a good way to start off on the road," Smith said. "I dealt with the heat really well out on the courts and made sure I was prepared for every match in singles and doubles."
Smith became the first player to clinch the singles and doubles titles in same year at the 11-year USTA event, which is normally held in Joplin, Mo. The tournament was moved to Tulsa because of extensive tornado damage in Joplin earlier this year.
Playing on the Tulsa courts was hardly a problem for Smith, who enjoyed some of his greatest collegiate success at the facility. He reached the 2008 NCAA singles championship match there as a freshman and teamed up with Boris Conkic to win the singles and doubles titles at the 2009 ITA All-American Championships as a junior.
"There is something about Tulsa that has made me play well here -- maybe it's the water," Smith joked. "But seriously, I do enjoy playing on the courts here, that's for sure."
When the tour points for singles and doubles get added to Smith's total, he should move into the top 800 in singles and 900 in doubles. Rogers, who has now won three Futures doubles titles this year, will crack the top 600 for the first time in his career.
Smith and Rogers continue their three-tournament trip with a stop at the Lewis and Clark Community College USTA Men's Futures Tennis Tournament beginning Tuesday.
Williams Competes in Lexington
Rhyne Williams, who turned professional earlier this month, advanced a round in both the singles and doubles draw in the Lexington Challenger in Kentucky.
The Knoxville native received a wild card into the event, and his singles victory will likely move him into the top 600 in the ATP world rankings for the first time. Williams is currently ranked No. 626 in singles.

text: The Orana wiki last edited by chrisburgess99 on 08/23/16 02:21AM View full history While on a visit back to Paradise Island, Diana was challenged by Orana to a repeat of the contests which she had won in order to become Wonder Woman. Orana was shown to display great aggression and although Diana was clearly the stronger contestant, she was constantly stopping other Amazons from being killed by Orana's reckless moves. Hippolyta tried to award Diana her old title, but she was forbidden to do so by the gods. With Orana triumphant Diana returned to man's world against the orders of her mother. Orana had a difficult time adapting to her new role. Her aggression often put the people she was trying to help in more harm than they would have been if just left alone. She also displayed a lack of familiarity with things such as automobiles and police. When she encountered Diana, she accused Diana of trying to interfere with her attempts to establish herself as a hero. Diana was only interested in Orana's safety. Eventually Orana was killed at the hands of Warhead who Diana was successful in stopping. Following a warrior's funeral on Paradise Island, the role of Wonder Woman reverted to Diana. Wonder Woman (2017)Orana will be played by Mayling Ng.

How to Use Your Pressure Cooker
5 tips for pressure cooker safety; plus: how to release the pressure.
Modern pressure cookers have multiple built-in safety features that make it impossible for too much pressure to build up in the cooker, eliminating the old risk of the lid blowing off. But it is still important to pay attention to certain details.
- Be sure to read your pressure cooker manual carefully.
- Before cooking, make sure that the inner part of the lid rim, outer rim of the pot and the valve are clean. Check that the gasket is flexible and not dried out; replace if necessary.
- Do not fill the cooker more than two-thirds full (or half full for foods that may froth, e.g., beans and grains, or are mostly liquid).
- Once the cooker reaches high pressure, it is important to lower the heat immediately. If left over high heat, the food may become overcooked. If using an electric stove, use the two-burner system: While the cooker comes to high pressure over high heat, heat a second burner to medium-low or low heat. When the cooker reaches high pressure, move it to the second burner and keep it just hot enough to maintain high pressure.
- When removing the lid, tilt it away from you to protect yourself from the escaping steam.
How To Release the Pressure
Use one of these three ways to release the pressure before opening the lid.
When you have finished cooking, you must release the pressure before you can open the lid to the cooker. There are three ways to do this. The appropriate method for releasing pressure depends on the type of food you are cooking. Follow recipe instructions.
Natural Release Method: This method is recommended for meat, foods that may froth and those that are mostly liquid. Simply remove the cooker from the heat and let the pressure drop naturally. Allow 5 to 20 minutes for this process.
Cold-Water Release Method: This is the fastest method for releasing pressure and a good option for cooking certain vegetables when you want to stop the cooking quickly to prevent overcooking. Place the pressure cooker in the sink. Hold the cooker at a slight angle and run cold water over the outer edge of the lid so that it flows over the lid and down the sides. Do not let water run directly over the vent or valve.
Quick Release Method: This method is useful when you wish to stagger the addition of ingredients—a stew in which the vegetables are added toward the end of cooking, for example. Modern pressure cookers have a special valve that can be used to release pressure quickly. (We show the quick release method, using a spoon to press the valve, in the photo below.) Don't use this method for foods that are mostly liquid or tend to froth—the froth might clog the valve. And avoid this method with meat, because the rapid release of pressure may cause the meat to toughen.

For more than six hours the dream was on, the clock was rewound and golf was again basking in its golden age. At the age of 59, Tom Watson was about to become the oldest man in history to lead after the first round of a major. And not any old major but an Open Championship at Turnberry of all things. Nostalgia floated in on the gentle breeze, bringing with it the memories of 1977 and that sunlit duel.
But then, through the haze of this most romantic of stories stepped Miguel Angel Jimenez, holing a 60-footer on the last to grab top spot. Whatever "party-pooper" is in Spanish was being whispered outside the popular Ryder Cup player's room in the big white hotel on the hill here last night. Full credit to Jimenez for his brilliant 64; but the game is quite sure Miguel will understand if the adulation is directed at someone else on the higher rungs of the leader board.
It was Watson who made the pulse race, the spine tingle and the imagination soar. Regardless of the resonance of his 65 – or, indeed, that the name of the then 54-year-old, Sam Snead, will remain in the record books for his feat at the 1966 USPGA – this was a remarkable performance. Not only is Watson the oldest man in the 156-strong field, by five years, but he underwent hip replacement surgery last October and at the Masters in April, his last major round, he struggled to an embarrassing 83. Furthermore he had not enjoyed a sub-70 round in the Open in 15 years.
To everyone else in Ayrshire he might have come into this 138th staging of the major he has won five times as nothing more than a living, breathing heirloom of the greatest Open. But to Watson he was, and still is, a competitor. Playing partner and fans alike understand that now. "If Watson plays the way he did today he can beat Tiger Woods and everyone else," said an utterly gobsmacked Sergio Garcia. "He flushed it today. Tom was inspired."
Inspired? Try resurrected. The last time he shot a 65 here was in the 1994 Open, although it was obviously the 65 of 32 years ago being evoked in the bars and clubs last night. It was certainly playing on loop in Watson's mind. "There was something slightly spiritual about today and the serenity of it was pretty neat," he said. On Wednesday he received a "good luck" text from Jack Nicklaus's wife Barbara and it was too tempting not to think of his great rival sitting there in his Ohio home screaming at the TV, "Go get 'em, Tom, just like you got me".
Watson was to get them all but the cigar-chomping Jimenez. True, Turnberry was, as Watson put it, "defenceless, with no discernible wind to speak of, but that cannot and will not devalue his achievement. He was bogeyless, flawless and in terms of his touch and creativity, peerless. In between shots he may have shuffled up the fairway like the old man he is; but stood over the ball, Watson was transformed into the glorious shot-maker he always was. "Playing the practice rounds I felt very good about the way I was hitting it," he said. "And because links golf is not played very much the older guys have an advantage. We kind of get a feel for it and that feel is worth its weight in gold."
On three under, the 52-year-old Mark O'Meara backed him up on that theory; as did the 49-year-old Mark Calcavecchia, who also shot a 67. Alas, with a 77 the 54-year-old Greg Norman could not emulate his own time-travelling adventures at Birkdale last year. But the grey-hairs still enjoyed a splendid representation. "Age is wisdom," said O'Meara with a profound laugh. Watson's explanation was rather more pointed. "There are some certain shots out here that the kids are unfamiliar with," he said.
There were plenty of unfamiliar shots in Ian Poulter's 75. The Englishman had been one of the main hopes of ending Britain's barren major run, which would stretch to a decade on Sunday evening. Now his challenge seems forlorn. In truth, this was not a good day for the home guard, with no one in the top 19. The world No 3, Paul Casey, was up there vying for the lead with seven holes remaining but two late bogeys saw him fall four off the lead after a 68. That happens to be the same mark as Lee Westwood, whose morning promised so much when he birdied the first three holes. Yet it could have been worse. Westwood was playing with Woods, so witnessed, at first hand, 18 holes of deep frustration.
This was the first time Woods has not broken par in the Open since 2003. During his 71, however, he did almost break at least three of his clubs on a bad-tempered day when if it wasn't his irons flying through the air it was his swear words. Seven shots back, this tournament is far from dead for the world No 1, but 30mph gusts are forecast for this afternoon and Woods may find himself on the wrong side of the draw. Jimenez, however, may well be in business, if he can get in before the winds arrived.
At 45, "The Mechanic" from Malaga is something of a golden oldie himself, as he proved with a beautifully neat card containing six birdies. "Experience is always important in the majors, no?" said Jimenez, one clear of Watson, Ben Curtis, the 2003 champion, and Japan's Kenichi Kuboya. "Yet the tournament has only just started."
Indeed, the majority of the field will still feel in contention as Norman pointed out. "Conditions are the easiest I've ever seen them," said the Australian. "This could be the most congested leader board ever at the Open."
Meanwhile, the Sandy-Monty feud continues. After a 75, Lyle called Colin Montgomerie a "drama queen", berated him for " hiding behind his manager" and challenged him to "sort it out like a man".
In The Independent on Tuesday the 51-year-old had accused Montgomerie of "cheating" at the 2005 Indonesia Open and questioned whether it could have worked against him being selected as Ryder Cup captain. Montgomerie, who shot a 71 yesterday, remains furious.
Shot of the day
The reaction was as loud as his trousers when John Daly almost holed his second shot for an albatross on the 538-yard par-5 seventh. Daly chased an iron up on to the green and it seemed certain to drop before horseshoeing the cup. Daly (aka the Wild Thing) simply shrugged his shoulders.
Duff of the day
Tiger Woods is not used to topping shots and the crowd are certainly not used to watching him do so. A gasp filled the galleries flanking the ninth hole when the world No 1 took a wild lurch at his ball in the rough and it proceeded to bobble its way up the fairway. Not one of his magic moments.
Nightmare of the day
Breaking 80 on this 'easy' Turnberry Thursday was not the most taxing challenge but, with an 83, South Africa's Jaco Ahlers failed fairly spectacularly. With four to go he was only five over. Then he treble-bogeyed the 15th, quadruple-bogeyed the 16th and bogeyed the 17th. Ouch!

WASHINGTON – Some taxpayers seeking a quick refund may have to wait longer than usual this year as the Internal Revenue Service tries to stop criminals who steal others' identities and file fraudulent returns.
The agency is making its automated system more sensitive to signs of potential fraud, meaning some returns will get a closer look. Last year, the IRS prevented $20 billion in fraudulent refunds from being issued, up from $14 billion the previous year.
The tax agency's efforts to combat identity theft reflect the tension in the IRS's multiple missions, said Benson Goldstein, a senior technical manager at the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Washington.
The IRS has been trying to shorten processing times to
accelerate refunds, in part to encourage electronic filing and in part to reduce taxpayers' reliance on short-term loans. The speed of refunds presented an opportunity for fraud.
"It's a difficult responsibility for the IRS," said Goldstein, who said some legitimate taxpayers may have their refunds delayed. "They're there to get the prompt refunds but at the same time to protect the U.S. Treasury."
The IRS expects to meet its goal of delivering 90 percent of refunds within 21 days, Michelle Eldridge, a spokeswoman for the agency, said in an interview yesterday. That compares with months of waiting for taxpayers who are victims of identity theft.
The agency is trying to be careful and "underpromise and overdeliver," said John Hewitt,
founder and chief executive officer of Liberty Tax Service, part of JTH Holding Inc., based in Virginia Beach, Va.
The IRS has long delayed refunds to prevent fraud, Hewitt said. This year's efforts, combined with an expected flood of returns because of late congressional action that delayed the start of filing, may slow refunds by about a week, he said.
Taxpayer identity theft has become more prevalent in the past few years. For fiscal 2012, the IRS's identity-theft unit received about 450,000 cases, up 78 percent over the previous year, according to the National Taxpayer Advocate, an independent organization within the agency.
Using Social Security numbers illegally obtained from sources such as doctors' offices and payroll departments, criminals generate fake wage reports and false tax returns. They focus on the start of the tax-filing season, seeking to deposit refunds on a disposable debit or convert them into cash before legitimate taxpayers file.
"It's a lot easier and safer for a criminal to not use a gun and go out and rob a bank," Goldstein said. "It's much easier to use a computer and it's safer for you."
Taxpayers whose identities are stolen sometimes wait months for their refunds and go through what the National Taxpayer Advocate calls "a journey through IRS processes and procedures that may take years to complete."
The advocate, members of Congress, the agency's inspector general and watchdog groups have been calling on the IRS to do more to prevent refund fraud and assist victims.
In its annual report last year, the IRS Advisory Council said it was "concerned that both taxpayers and the tax system will suffer if appropriate measures are not taken quickly and effectively to control this fraud."
It recommended that the IRS withhold three-quarters of refunds until it can verify taxpayers' identities.
For some U.S. households, a tax refund is the biggest financial event of the year. In 2012, 74.4 percent of tax filers received refunds, which averaged $2,803.
Ann Esarco, a former member of the council, said the government should require W-2 wage reports to be filed sooner. The deadline for the reports is Feb. 28, creating a gap during which the IRS has difficulty matching information it receives from taxpayers with reports from employers.
"Somehow we have to tighten that timeline," said Esarco, an accounting instructor at McHenry County College in Crystal Lake, Ill.
This year, the IRS is introducing more of what it calls filters to stop fraudulent refunds from being issued. Those are rules the agency's computers use to analyze returns and determine if they warrant more scrutiny. The IRS doesn't disclose details to avoid giving criminals information.
"We have more of them in place this year and we've improved the quality of them," Eldridge said, describing identity theft as a "top priority" for IRS. "As we get smarter, the identity thieves find ways to try new things."
Esarco said the IRS is improving how it flags the returns of dead people who will need to have a final tax return filed for 2012.
Beth Tucker, a deputy IRS commissioner, told a congressional subcommittee last year that the agency was targeting bank accounts or addresses receiving multiple tax refunds.
The IRS said it had more than 3,000 employees focused on identity theft in late 2012, more than double the number a year earlier. Also, it said it has tripled the number of criminal investigations of identity theft and begun sharing information with local law enforcement agencies in nine states.
Taxpayers who think they are the victims of identity theft can contact the IRS at 1-800-908-4490, extension 245.
Eldridge, the IRS spokeswoman, said identity theft cases are particularly complex to resolve.
"We know that this is frustrating for victims," she said. "We have been able to take some steps to try to close those quicker, but it's still not quick enough."

Phraseology: Thousands of Bizarre Origins, Unexpected Connections, and…
by Barbara Kipfer
No current Talk conversations about this book.
There are definitions of English mustard (mustard), english breakfast (a large fry) and English Breakfast tea (surprisingly, tea). To me these words are nouns, not phrases.
I suppose I should have guessed that it might not be the best when I saw the defition of the phrase "pushing the envelope" that features on the cover. "A pilot's term for flying an aircraft at or beyond its reasonable limits". That's the definition alright, but what about the origin as promised at the top of the cover?
I went straight to the definition of one of my favourite phrases - "mind your p's and q'". Kipper gives the definition as being an admonishment used by teachers monitoring students' handwriting. There's no mention of two other widely-accepted theories. Firstly, a warning to typesetters in the days of printing presses when the letter 'q' did not feature its characteristic tail, and hence could be mistaken for a 'p' in reverse. The second hails back to the days of drinking pints and quarts in public houses and recording of such on the slate.
For me this was the acid test, and the book failed it.
Ultimately, it's a novelty book, and you probably will learn something from it. But you'll probably be better off searching on the internet.
Instead of this book, I recommend Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Allusions if you're looking for an interesting and detailed book on the origins of common phrases, or Bill Bryson's Dictionary of Troublesome Words for a readable and informative discussion of word usage with dos and don'ts.
The problems are many and varied. Some - most, even - of the phrases and definitions given are unexceptionable - which means both that I think they're right and that they're not fascinating. And then you come upon things like:
"Abel-wackets: Blows given on the palm of the hand with a twisted handkerchief, instead of a ferula; a jocular punishment among seamen, who sometimes play at cards for wackets, the loser suffering as many strokes as he has lost games." Oookay...what's a ferula? Have you ever heard this phrase/word? So I googled it - and found a dozen sources that list it exactly as above - same definition, word for word - with the addition of the citation: 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. Can you say plagiarism? It's not, obviously, a copyright violation, but if she didn't have anything to say about this phrase (other than copying the one time it was written down), why put it in?
Another, even more annoying.
"Above the fold is the content of a Web page that can be seen without scrolling down; also called above the scroll". Excuse me? This is the origin of the phrase? It _might_ be the (or a) way it's used today, but that illuminates nothing whatsoever. No mention, even, of newspapers? Come on.
The end result is, even on definitions that make a great deal of sense I doubt her explanations. So it's not useful, it's not interesting, and it's highly exasperating. NOT a winner.
This is a collection of information about English phrases where entries vary from explanations of idioms to usage notes to interesting trivia.
The entries cover the range from curious to common. I learned that "the medical term for an ice cream headache is spheno pulatine ganglio neuralgia." I learned that in the expression raining cats and dogs, the "cats symbolize rain storms and dogs symbolize wind storms." I learned the proper pronunciation of chaise longue is shayz-long (I speak French so I disagree, but the common chaise lounge is wrong too) and that cell phone, e-mail, and video game should be kept as separate words (does anyone write them as one … other than e-mail?). Oh, and a sparrow-fart is daybreak in case anyone is wondering.
I'm a language geek so I like this kind of thing. I have The Flip Dictionary by Barbara Ann Kipfer, which is a unique and handy reference for anyone who writes anything, but Phraseology can't decide what kind of book it is (which explains the subtitle). Usually reference books either stick to being a usage guide (like Garner's) or strictly idioms or strictly trivia. This one is all three, but not in a systematic fashion. One entry may be an explanation of an idiom, one entry may be a bit of trivia, and the next entry may be a usage note. That makes this an entertainment book, rather than a reference book because you never know what you're going to get when you look up a term.
For an entertainment book there are a lot of mundane entries: per capita, corn dog, life sciences. Some entries are dictionary-like definitions rather than interesting factoids. There are quite a few entries that I assume are Americanisms (like sparrow-fart) that I've never heard of, which are interesting though I have no way of knowing how common these terms are. The choice of entries seems rather random as does the formatting. The word being defined or discussed is not always the first thing in the entry, sometimes it is half-way through (though it is always in bold).
I have to admit to being rather confused as to who the intended audience is for Phraseology. There's an interesting tidbit or two for language lovers flipping through the book, but the occasional interesting fact is buried among a number of less interesting entries, and the inconsistency of the entries makes it a confusing book for general use.

Hanin Zubai is a member of the Israel Knesset and in that role is expected to work for peace and prosperity for her nation. As a member of the legislature, her responsibility is to further the cause of justice and humanity for all who live within Israel as well as those who live in other nations. She decided her government's policy in Gaza was wrong. If she believes any action by her government is wrong or violates the rights of citizens, it is her RESPONSIBILITY to work to alter such policies. As a member of a legislature which deals with issues concerning the lives of Jews is is her RESPONSIBILITY to further the cause of social justice regardless to the political implications of such actions. The issue is not whether Israel action in Gaza was right or wrong, the issue is that she has a moral responsibility to adhere to her own human values. Those in the American Congress in 2003 who believed Bush policies leading to the invasion of Iraq were wrong had a moral and legal responsibility to oppose that military fiasco.
I am shocked that Ms. Zubai is attacked and deemed a traitor because she disagrees with the policies of the Israel government. In a DEMOCRACY, a member of the legislature is expected to speak out against government policies deemed incorrect. Where did Israelis get the idea that one must agree with all government policies? In a dictatorship one goes along with the government, in a democracy, one opposes government policies. That is the difference between a democracy and a dictatorship.

Airing his last episode airing in April, TV producer Mike McKay is ending Currents, the web TV documentary series that both illuminates the risks threatening the world's rivers and highlights the intrinsic value of preserving rivers in their natural state. Currents episodes have won several awards, including its latest episode The Ottawa River, which won Best Accomplished Documentary at the National Paddling Film Festival last month.
Canoe & Kayak magazine: Tell me about Currents.Mike McKay: The concept came along in 2009 after I had a little experience with shooting video. The idea was to connect the world of whitewater through the issues that surrounded the rivers in a complete documentary. I first went to Hood River to shoot video and I quickly realized this wasn't going to work; there were too many issues to contain in one documentary. I realized I had to break it down into a web TV series.
All I had was a camera and a little mic and was just going to places and letting the stories unfold in front of me. In the beginning everything was focused around conservation. The first 12 episodes fell into that, whether it be dam issues, pollution or resource extraction.
Later on I just wanted to tell cool stories in and around the rivers I love.
How did Currents change over the years?
Currents evolved episode by episode, and I think it got better with each episode. When we did the Romaine River in Quebec I felt that the project really began to hit a stride. The Romaine now has four dams, and a lot of boreal forest has been flooded. We wound up being the second to last people to run the whole river. That was the one that wasn't "just let's see what happens." We knew we wanted to document this trip. While it didn't come off completely that way in Currents, it was the first time there were specific sponsors. We got Federation of Quebec and Goal Zero to sponsor it. People wanted to attach themselves to it, and more people were watching. After that video, there was momentum behind Currents. It really started turning into something more than what I ever expected it to be.
Why are you ending Currents?
I think the time has come. With so many online webTV projects in whitewater, I feel it is starting to get buried in the mix. That is how I knew it was time to move on to a new project. The 20th episode is just a good excuse to do that. I don't want to stop telling stories in and around whitewater, and I don't plan to.
Tell me about the 20th episode.
I'm pretty fired up about the last episode. It'll be my sixth time going to Mexico, and I've made a lot of friends there. It has a lot of rock-star paddlers from around the world, but not a lot of local guys get in the videos. For my video I want to make sure those locals get on the screen as much as possible. There will still be lots of big names. The Jackson crew were down there for the first round of shooting and provided me with some awesome footage.
Really, the last two episodes, the Ottawa and Alseseca, are destination pieces, and to me they present the two sides of rivers that I love. One's big waves, big freestyle, the river that got me into paddling and is my home river (Ottawa). On the flip side is river running and creeking, and I think most people would agree that not a lot of places offer as many different styles in one river as the Alseseca (Mexico). These last two episodes made a cool way to represent what I feel about kayaking.
What's it feel like watching those first videos?
For the first few, I feel like the stories are still there. That's what fascinates me. While the quality of the videos might be a little rough and the editing was all brand new, these stories are still happening. If you take the first one, Ecuador, they're still having major issues with illegal mining. Take the New York stuff; you can watch those 10 years from now, and they will still be relevant. I think no matter what, the stories are still important.
Any breakthroughs in filming during Currents?
Halfway through the first season, I signed up for a documentary course and learned about crafting a story, and I think it started pushing things forward. Personally, I think that's the most evident in the two New York stories how those guys redefined American Whitewater and how river conservation to this day is done in the United States. That was the moment where the story became so important. I really enjoy going back to people and talking about the history. I feel that any of these little 5-10 minute videos could be two-hour documentaries.
What do you think looking back?
For me it's been a real awesome ride. I was trying to think of all the hundreds of people I've met because of this project and the doors it's opened for me, it's really cool. I'm just this guy who likes to kayak and travel. I don't know if I'd jump into a project like Currents today; it seems ridiculous, but it's opened me for all sorts of experiences. I've gone to so many amazing places and met so many great people. I've also had a lot of help along the way. I couldn't have asked for anything else.
Stay tuned for the release of McKay's final episode, coming out in April. All the Currents videos can be found at www.five2nine.ca.

Canada writing perfect script to world hockey championship
By Steve Keating
HALIFAX, Canada (Reuters) - Canada has written the perfect script to the ice hockey world championship, taking an unbeaten record into Wednesday's quarter-finals.
But the hockey-mad country knows three more wins are required starting with Norway if they are to pen a happy ending to the first world championship staged on Canadian ice.
Russia also enter the final eight with an unblemished record and would like nothing better than to end their long-time rivals' title dreams but cannot look that far ahead with quarter-final opponents Switzerland planning quick revenge for
defeat in their final qualification game.
The U.S. will also be seeking retribution when they meet Finland for the second time in four days in a rematch of an ill-tempered 3-2 loss that ended with 202 minutes in penalties and three players handed one game suspensions.
The other quarter-final matchup will pit Olympic champions Sweden against the Czech Republic.
Canada have not lost at the worlds since falling to Finland in the bronze medal game at the 2006 championships, stringing together 15 consecutive wins but it will count for little if they cannot extend the streak to 16 against Norway.
While Canada have captured a record 24 titles and Norway will be making their first quarter-final appearance, the defending champions will be wary of the Norwegians, who looked poised to pull off the upset of tournament until Rick Nash scored with less than four minutes to play to lift the hosts to a 2-1 win.

Tom's Caddy
I hope someone has the info I need. The oil pan has 10mm bolts heads, I can tighten most of them but 2 have no room for my extension bar. The problem is the thickness of the extension bar. Is there such a thing as a very thin extension bar for this kind of work that I could put the 10mm socket on the head and then slip through a very thin shaft extension bar that would be able to connect to the socket. I buy tools as I need them so if this sounds stupid its because I have basic socket sets at home. Any help would be great thanks.

BlindType Purchased by Google – Typing on a touchscreen just got easier.
- October 6th, 2010
- Posted in Android . iOS . Mobile . News . Technology
- By Jeremy Hindle
- Write comment
Unless you are an avid/regular blog reader it is unlikely that you have heard of BlindType…yet. So does it concern you? In all likelihood, yes, yes it does concern you but by no means in a bad way. How many people do I know who only buy Blackberry phones over iPhones or other touch screen devices because they have a "proper keyboard" or to be more precise a hardware keyboard. BlindType has taken an interesting and probably more successful approach to this problem. However before jumping straight in and showing it to you is probably best to explain a bit more about tactile feedback first.
Indeed even I as a touch screen user find it difficult to type on a touchscreen without having to focus on the on screen keyboard all the time. The main reason for this is that a touchscreen keyboard gives no tactile feedback (actually it does give a really tiny bit because of the edges of the screen and shape of the back of the phone but I digress – either way it is insignificant compared to a hardware keyboard). Tactile feedback enables your brain to work out where your hand/thumbs is/are on a keyboard automatically without you having to focus specifically on the keys you are pressing. Basically it will automatically count the keys as you slide your thumb over them or associate the points of pressure on your thumbs to work out a reference point, the process by which your brain remembers will differ according to device being used and indeed the particular persons way of remembering things. The only thing which most phone have now is a small vibration so you know when you have pressed a key, not really that helpful when typing without looking constantly.
In simple terms, your brain has an image of what your keyboard looks like "shape wise" in your head and probably a pretty good idea as to where all those keys are in space. What tactile feedback does is it gives a reference point on that visualized keyboard in your mind so you know where your fingers/thumbs are and how far to move them to touch a key. Learning how to touch type is basically taking this knowledge and training you to keep your hands regimented in their positioning on the keyboard. Your brain does the rest for you… in a sense (wheeeey! Sorry I couldn't help it).
Ok so how can one fix this? Well the obvious answer would be to introduce tactile feedback. That however, isn't easy to do on a touch screen, it's not going to function like a touch screen if it isn't flat is it? I suppose ideally you'd want a morphing screen which could change shape according to what it was doing and "simulate" real tactile feedback. This isn't going to happen, not anytime soon anyway. Some of you may have heard of Swype which is one such technology which tried to deal with this issue. What Swype does to help is that by allowing you to just drag over the keyboard it allows you to use many fewer reference points from feedback. There is still no tactile feedback but you don't need to look as much because you aren't lifting and placing so often. Once you have a position on the keyboard you can make your drags to respective keys in order reasonably accurately with only a few glances. Swype is fantastic (was noticed and bought by Samsung for xyz million dollars I think it was 8 but I'm not sure (citation please)) and allows for some seriously speedy typing however it still doesn't really get rid of the problem with touchscreen not having tactile feedback.
Ok I think it's time to introduce BlindType and why it's so exciting to me as a user, as well as a neuroscientist. So at the moment we have this idea that our brain has an image of the keyboard we are going to type on in our heads, we look/feel for a point on a keyboard to tell our brain where we are n its "map", and then type using both pieces of information right? Ok so who says that we/our brain needs to work out where the keyboard is? This is what I imagine what spawned the thought behind BlindType. If both our brain and the computer have knowledge of what a keyboard layout is – which we do why can't the computer work out the size, shape and position of the keyboard we are planning on using? Well the answer is that it can which is pretty awesome if you think about it. That means you can type anywhere on your phone screen in any particular orientation and as long as you keep the same shaped keyboard (ish) in your head – the computer can work out the shape of the keyboard for you and in turn what you typed. What's even better is this doesn't require you to even look at your phone which means texting and walking on touchscreen keyboards could finally be possible! The video below shows this in action the best – later on it shows the "keyboard shapes" which it is detecting just to show the technology working.
So how did I find out about this? Well the exciting thing is Google bought them on the 1st of October 2010 so hopefully it will find its way to Android or indeed all touch screen phones/tablets/all in one PC's with touch screens, as soon as possible!
The project was put together originally by Kostas Eleftheriou – a computer science graduate from Warwick university and Panos Petropoulos who has a degree in marketing from Deree College. I think both of them deserve quite the pat on the back – although Google has already kind of done that! Either way I'm looking forward to easier typing on touch screen devices, what do you think?

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Boards (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/)
- - Why are Camber boards so hard to find in New England?!!! (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/117745-why-camber-boards-so-hard-find.html)
Why are Camber boards so hard to find in New England?!!!
It seems that all snowboard makers are designing more and more Rocker type boards and less to almost NO Camber boards anymore. Why is this happening?! As a New England rider that has been boarding for 21 years now (I only ride All-Mountain), I feel left out. New England is NOT CO, UT, or anywhere else, therefore we almost NEVER have powder conditions. In New England, 98% of the time the type of snow conditions we have consist of Groomed, Packed Powder, and or Ice. So why are there so many powder boards (Rocker type) on the market here rather than boards that should suit the local conditions more, such as Camber type boards?!
Can ANYONE chime in here with reasoning?!
Please keep in mind I am only commenting on All-Mountain type riding and not talking about Park or Pipe type riding.
Marketing. It is stupid easy to sell rockered boards to beginners or people who don't exactly know what they want.
"Rocker makes it float easier in powder, you'll catch less edges, and you'll be able to press easier than a cambered board, blah blah blah." A simple sales pitch like that will make 80-90% of the people walking in your door stoked on reverse camber.
However, it's a trend. Preferences are already shifting back towards camber, for the past few years. Capita's most proformed (read shop employees, mountain employees, generally people who ride much better than the average person) board from 2-3 years ago was the cambered Indoor and you can see it in companies' line-ups. For example, Lib Tech, for all their blustery points about only making rockered decks, have essentially make a cambered board (albeit through a different name).
FWIW, I'm a camber kid.
I'm old school, too. Bought my Never Summer Titan the last year they made 'em. I ride mostly Vermont/NH with a couple of weeks out west. Never had a camber board and have never needed one. I just found a GOOD board and know how to ride it. Also, working in the marketing biz, I know when I'm being bullshitted. :)
I disagree. A couple of years ago, it was this way, but it seems like we're seeing a bit of a swing back toward more traditional camber profiles these days. Different strokes for different folks, that's why all those profiles are out there. There's no right or wrong answer, just what you prefer and what works best for you.
I have a rock-out camber.:laugh:
but I do want to try a traditional camber tho.
ive sworn by hybrid camber the last few years but ive been contemplating picking up a traditional camber deck for more all mountain riding.. its been a long time since ive ridden true camber but i want that pop again..
I have two NS Premiers, an older cambered version and the newer RCR version. I like riding the newer board. It's easier to ride, especially in moguls/trees, plenty fast, and has plenty of grip in all but the worst boiler plate. I don't bother riding in those conditions anymore anyway.
I see those Bean boards at the local hill. They are Boston based and I think their line is all camber boards. Next time I see a demo I might take one out for a bit.
I still have 3 old top-end camber boards...and still ride them on groomer days.

Nicely turned-out and clean. No
I went for check-in and there was no one beyond the counter and there is a sign to call with a number to reach. Called lot of time but no one picks the call. I waited more than half n hour for check-in in their lobby. Finally one lady showed up late.
Breakfast Flies in room.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Breakfast I requested and was placed in non-smoking wing. When I entered the hallway I was struck by the stench of smoke. My non-smoking room reeked of smoke. I called the front desk and was told that two nearby rooms were smoking. I wasn't offered another room.
Location was convenient. Decent breakfast. Our non-smoking room smelled of smoke. The indoor pool (only pool open) was ice cold. Ice machine outside our door was broken.
Reasonable price and a quiet room I couldn't use my debit card due to either an internet problem or that it has a chip and they didn't have a chip reader. After driving to Wal-Mart to use that same card for cash I was able to get checked in
Clean Room Unfriendly staff. Hotel was out of sugar for coffee in the morning
Free breakfast. Low cost. Heater makes way to much noise
It was easy to find The price was out of line, for what there was.
Disappointed in breakfast
The evening help was very courteous and helpful. No
The Mexican restuarant a few doors down. And the Walmart was right next to that, so I didn't have to drive anywhere except work. The hot tub was not working and has not been working for a long time, but there are still pictures of it on their website.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Earlier rather than later is the general idea to increase the odds of avoiding excessive fog. May/June appear to offer the best odds, July can be a mixed bag and there's a reason that out there they call it "Fogust".
So late June/early July sounds not too bad. We did it early July in 2006 and didn't have excessive fog, but we also missed a lot of sunshine while all the while Georgia strait was clear and sunny. Nevertheless the Broken Group and much of Barkley Sounds inner shores are not to be missed.
The slog out there can be just that; big westerlies are the norm in the summer months in Juan de Fuca. Personally I'd not plan to use San Juan Hrbour(Port Renfrew) as a stopover, leaving Victoria (or Sooke) pre-dawn and getting to Bamfield in one shot would be our choice (it's what we did last time). There are few good spots in Renfrew and no protection from surge and swell. From the US Neah Bay might be a reasonable jump-off point but you'd be adding some distance.
In Barkley Sound:
I'd recommend Bamfield, charming boardwalks, cottages, two gov't docks (busy) and the walk to Riley's Beach on Deer Passage - worthwhile.
Port Alberni YC has an outstation that's a nice visit - reasonable moorage fees, showers, good shelter and a nice location for exploring the nearby islets by kayak or dinghy.
Lucky Creek, near the mouth of Pipestem Inlet is a neat estuary for dinghies and kayaks too, with a nice little series of falls and swimming holes at the end.
Effingham harbour has some charm, though it's fairly deep in many places, and offers day-trip access to the outer islands if swell conditions permit stopping and exploring there (Clarke, Benson, and a few others)
Uclulet is a good stopover/resupply spot with plenty of moorage, supplies, and - this is not to be missed - breakfast at the bowling alley/arcade. No kidding!! There is also an easy walk to some of the outer beaches. The Canadian Princess fishing lodge (an old steamer) is a nice thing to check out as well.
Of course there are many cosy one-boat nooks scattered around the many islands in the Broken Group as well as popular larger anchorages. It's an area where you needn't share an anchorage if you don't want to.
Can't help you with further up, not yet, but I don't believe you'll be able to 'see your boat while sitting in the hot springs'.. it's a bit of a walk into the springs IIRC.
Anyhow, do be prepared to give up some summer - at the very least you'll have a few "marine cloud" mornings than may burn off midday, or not, but even so this trip is well worth it for the differences compared to sailing/cruising the inside waters.
Don't forget to take pics and post them here afterwards!
Best time to cruise the West coast of Vancouver Island?
S/V Fairhaven is gearing up to take a 3 week trip out to the west coast of Vancouver island this summer. I've been out there a couple times on a big powerboat and am eager to get out there sailing. Will be leaving from home in Anacortes and headed to the Broken Group in Barklay Sound and probably up to Uculet and Hot Springs cove.
For those that know the area, how does the last 3 weeks in June sound? Or perhaps the last week of June and first half of July?
Any particular tips for the area, places not to miss, nasty spots to avoid? Trips for coming out the straits and rounding the corner?
Can't wait to be sitting in the springs staring at my boat at anchor, or kayaking around Effingham bay.... So beautiful up there.

text: For me, everyone skating in the ladies event for the past several years has been pretty boring, except for an occasional good SP by Nagasu. Nobody has been able to hold my interest thru a free skate since Cohen (and even then, I'm not sure if it was the skating or the tension of waiting to see where she would screw up). Yes, I also found Kwan to be boring. I liked Yagudun. I wasn't that keen on Plushy's skating, but could never have called him boring. I didn't usually find Lysacek or Weir boring, but today's top guys can't hold my interest for long. Takahashi can at least keep my attention thru an SP. Pairs. OMG. What a wasteland.

From Hedge Funds to Lady Gaga
In 2008, hedge fund manager Matthew Michelsen received the phone call that would change his life—from 50 Cent. Actually, the rapper and energy drink mogul was calling to speak with Michelsen's wife, Jenny, about investing in her 3D eyewear company, Gunnar Optiks. Jenny passed the phone to Matthew, and an unlikely friendship was born.
Michelsen, who co-founded trading technology firm UNX after starting two hedge funds, never thought he'd work in entertainment. Yet after "Fitty" introduced him to Lady Gaga's manager, Troy Carter, Michelsen saw an opportunity to employ his financial tech expertise: Carter had been looking for a way to unify Gaga's "Little Monster" fans online. Michelsen, now 39, introduced Carter to Silicon Valley entrepreneurs Joe Lonsdale and Alex Moore. The group subsequently founded the Backplane, an online platform that allows fans to build all-encompassing e-communities. Michelsen left UNX in 2010.
With seven figures in startup costs coming out of Michelsen's pocket, the Palo Alto company has 12 employees, and, he says, is in talks with Eminem, Justin Bieber, and the National Football League. Its most important client, however, remains Gaga. Littlemonsters.com uses the Backplane technology to create a Gaga universe for her 38 million Facebook fans and 10 million Twitter followers—replete with e-mail addresses and calendars. "The goal is for everyone to start their own interactive community," says Michelsen. "If you're a Girl Scout mom, you could have your own Backplane with 12 other moms." Though the Gaga model seems a bit more promising.
Michelsen's Best Advice
1. Know Your Weaknesses. "Find friends and business partners who can do the things you can't. This is hard to do, because most people only really value the skills they're good at and downplay the importance of other abilities."
2. Exude confidence. "It's contagious. Walk into rooms planning to make it happen. If you assume something is impossible, it probably is. But if you're confident that you're supposed to be there, others will be, too."

A while ago I was writing a sequence of articles — interrupted for some weeks by all the hullabaloo over Higgs particles and all the noise about neutrinos — concerning the possibility that the world has more than the three spatial dimensions that are obvious to us. These "extra" dimensions seem to be very confusing to non-experts, so I've been trying to find a way to make them seem a little less strange. We'll see if I've succeeded. Building on my articles describing some types of worlds of 1 spatial dimension and of 2 spatial dimensions, I've now written an article giving one type of example of an "extra" dimension. Other articles to follow over coming weeks will provide other examples of extra dimensions, as well as an attempt to explain how scientists can potentially look for evidence of an extra dimension.

Word on the street:
Word to your mother.
Oh well:
Click to expand*
Do you know that the MUNI drivers union is suing us again because they didn't get every last thing on their wishlist in arbitration?
It's true.
*Look at that dark upper left corner – 1/8000 of a second. Pray for the shutter on my Canon 5D. Born: 2005, Oita City, Kyushu, Japan. Dying: 2012, San Francisco, California USA
This street imp was looking like all the others, just a slob like one of us, until he pulls a rock out of his hoodie and hurls a 70 mph fastball across 9th without really breaking stride. He reared back and hurled but then resumed walking with a quickness.
I was supposing he was throwing the rock at a person but his target was a business vehicle, a white van.
The thing is he threw it down and counted on a random bounce get it up to where it could do some damage.
Anyway, here he is, walking away, all casual, IndyBay personified. If you looked around after getting struck you wouldn't necessarily suspect him. This kid's a pro, a professional:
And here's his rock, found right in the middle of the sidewalk across the street, seen next to a fat lawyer's shoe for comparison:
How many more stones does this kid have in his hoodie's marsupial pocket? Probably lots.
So this is why your window gets broken randomly, for no reason.
Now you'd think the hormones coursing through his veins would be telling him to get out there and try to impress girls, or boys, or whomever, you know, so he could have sex or something, right? But no, all that frustration and energy gets poured into another kind of release, the satisfaction of hearing breaking windows or causing grievous bodily injury to random pedestrians on the mean streets of San Francisco.
Oh well…
Well here's something new under the sun. It's the Vandal cargo pack for cyclists from the Mission Workshop.
See? It expands, thusly:
So you can carry a pony keg of delicious, if warm, Sierra Nevada on your back, or, indeed, an entire bike:
Their video shows you how it works. (Try not to yell out "co-option, co-option" as you see two tandem riders participating in Halloween Critical Mass 2009.)
Mission Workshop is just getting started, so they don't yet have a retail store. But they do have a full-on corporate-style media campaign. Here it is, enjoy:
"Introducing Mission Workshop and Their First Expandable Cargo Backpack 'The Vandal'
Mission Workshop is a San Francisco based company located in the heart of the Mission District. The company was born from over 15 years experience designing and manufacturing messenger bags and clothing. The founders of the bag company Chrome opened Mission Workshop in October of 2009 and just released their first backpack called "the Vandal."
The Vandal is a weatherproof backpack designed for cyclists and anyone else that relies on their bag to get them through the day. It's big enough to handle your daily gear and expands for additional cargo when needed. The Vandal's expansion system gets bigger without using extra fabric and seals flat to disappear when not needed.
According to co-founder Bart Kyzar, "Most people prefer as small of a pack as possible but regularly need extra carrying capacity. Even with a full load, the Vandal can expand to accommodate an additional bag of groceries or a case of your favorite brew. It easily turns from 1200 cubic inches into 2200 cubic inches on the fly."
The pack incorporates three built in compartments. The main roll top compartment is large and has RF welded seams making it completely waterproof. The middle compartment is perfect for a laptop and the smaller compartment is designed for personal organization. In addition to these, the expandable area is always ready for use when needed.
The Vandal has also stepped up the design on the backpack harness by integrating a frame sheet and fiberglass rods for support and comfort. This makes the Vandal much more comfortable than other cycling packs and has given it enhanced stability under heavy loads. The Vandal is PVC free and only uses fabrics coated with urethane. In addition to the environmental benefits, urethane coatings are much tougher than PVC and better retain their waterproof capabilities.
— Weatherproof Capacity: 1200 cubic inches
— External Cargo Expander 1000 cubic inches
— Materials: Urethane Coated Nylon (PVC free)
— Load Suspension: LDPE Frame Sheet with Fiberglass Stays
— Removable waist strap with optional load bearing waist belt
Retail Price: $225 Made in the USA with a Life Time Warranty
Mission Workshop Products are sold online at http://www.missionworkshop.com/ and through select retailers nationwide.

Retail sales volumes fell 0.7% in June, far lower than economists had predicted. The slide follows a 0.5% fall in May, and means retail sales in June were up just 4.6% on the same month last year. It was the first time sales have fallen in two consecutive months since September/October 1998.
Economists already predict the Bank will keep interest rates at 4% for the next few months, due to low inflation and the recent stock market slide. Ross Walker, economist at Royal Bank of Scotland, said the spending dip 'reinforces the argument for not raising rates'.
Philip Shaw, economist at Investec, said he was not concerned by the drop. 'I think there was always going to be lower sales volumes in June, following poor weather in the first part of the month, the bank holiday and the football.'

This part is *only* if you are running a WWW server, and it
needs to go where the httpd program will find it: in the
main config file for the program, or (probably - have not
tried it) individuals can set their own .mime.types in their

What I think is happening is that the missouri server uses the
type application/x-mathematica (where "x-" is the prefix for
a provisional type not yet approved by the network authorities).
No problem - just add that type as well to .mailcap (or whatever
else one does for Windows and Macintosh):
application/x-mathematica; mathematica %s
This is my setup and I can launch those missouri files no problemo.
You should check with the webmaster at that server and get the mime
type changed, if this is indeed what is going wrong.
I dont know what could be happening with the WRI server; if you
post up an explicit URL I'll take a look.
Incidentally, the official definition of application/mathematica
can be found at:
