Athlete of the Week
T.J. Boyajian
Boyajian ran for 213 yards and two touchdowns - including one on an 86-yard run - to lead the 'Canes to a 26-6 victory over Toll Gate on Saturday. Vets improved to 2-0 overall.
"I was almost puking last night," Boyajian said. "I was excited. We came out, and we hit them in the mouth in the first half. It was probably one of the best wins we've had."

There are two masses. Mass A is 0.2 kilograms, and is resting on a 30-degree slope. Mass B is 0.3 kilograms, and is hanging past the end of the slope from an inextensible string which passes over a smooth pulley.
Find the acceleration, a, of the particles when released from rest.
"T" is the tension in the string. Then
0.3g - T = 0.3a
T - 0.2g * sin(30 degrees) = 0.2a
But the answer doesn't match the back of the book. What did I do wrong?

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has remained tight-lipped over the prospect of landing Luis Suarez from Liverpool this summer.
The Gunners have had two bids for the Uruguayan turned down already and Wenger has refused to discuss whether he'll make a third.
Wayne Rooney will gauge the reaction of Manchester United's fans when he next turns out for the club in pre-season before making a decision over his future, according to the Independent.
Chelsea are said to lining up another bid for Rooney having had one turned down already, but the striker wants to check that the United fans haven't turned against him before he makes a decision over his future.
Neymar has described his relationship with Lionel Messi as "wonderful" and insists there won't be a problem when the two play together next season.
The Brazilian completed a big-money move to the Nou Camp earlier this summer.
Roberto Soldado says Tottenham's persistence in trying to sign him eventually persuaded him to head to White Hart Lane.
Spurs finally got their man in a £26 million transfer this week having missed out on him last summer.
And finally new Manchester City signing Jesus Navas believes Manuel Pellegrini can guide the Citizens to the Premier League title this season.

But then as I started learning more about the life sciences, apparently [the benefits] are huge. There hasn't been really any information on human behavior in this kind of environment. The impact of radiation, the isolation — the academics are all very excited. It'd be a huge scientific value in the life sciences.[/i]

BIRDSBORO — The municipal water authority has lifted the boil water advisory for customers on the west side of the borough.
According to a notice posted to the borough website Friday morning, residents who had been issued the boil water notice no longer had to do so. The advisory had been issued to a couple hundred water customers Wednesday morning after a lightning strike Tuesday night caused an outage and infiltration of air into the water pumps at the water treatment plant.
Only residents on the west side of the borough were affected because they are at a higher elevation than the rest of the borough and only the pumps used to supply their water were affected, according to Borough Manager Aaron Durso.
In a previous interview, Durso said the system was not damaged and there were no breaks in any of the water pipes, but Department of Environmental Protection regulations required the borough issue the advisory and test the water after the pumps stopped working.
The average time the testing takes is about 48 hours, according to Durso.

School fire drills take place fairly often, but getting students out of the building isn't the only job school officials have in case of a fire.
They also have to notify the Fire Department because most school fire alarms are only an in-school alert system and not monitored by any emergency service.
Just like an alarm system in your home, the school district has to pay to have a company monitor the school alarm systems. While the burglar alarm going off will notify police, the fire alarm just makes noise.
State fire code does not require schools to be tied into a monitoring system. However, schools with sprinkler systems, like Margaret K. Lewis, do have to be monitored. Unfortunately, the cost keeps most Bay County schools flying solo.
Bay County school officials say they are trying to get the money to have MKL and seven other schools with fire safety sprinkler systems monitored. It's about $600 a school, but what about when unmonitored schools are empty?
Lt. Jimmy Talley with the Panama City Fire Department says, "We depend on the goodness of those in the community to give us a call."
In fact, that's worked in the past. Earlier this year arsonists targeted a portable at Jinks Middle School. The structure was a total loss, but that's not for a lack of trying. A neighbor noticed the blaze only about 10 minutes after it started.
Schools with manual pull stations are also not locked in with the local fire department. If someone pulls the fire alarm at Surfside Middle they then have to call 9-1-1 to let emergency services know if there's a problem.

Davis Love III has spoken.
With his selections of Jim Furyk, Dustin Johnson, Brandt Snedeker and Steve Stricker, the U.S. squad is set. They join automatic qualifiers Keegan Bradley, Jason Dufner, Zach Johnson, Matt Kuchar, Phil Mickelson, Webb Simpson, Bubba Watson and Tiger Woods to formulate arguably the strongest U.S. team in years.
Team U.S.A. boasts some fresh faces, as the four rookies of Bradley, Dufner, Simpson and Snedeker, will join eight veterans. Of those four, only Simpson has the experience of a Presidents Cup in his back pocket.
Love kept the controversy to a minimum, as he basically went chalk with his picks. In the final days leading up to the selections, the group of potential selections had dwindled to the four eventually chosen along with Hunter Mahan, Rickie Fowler and Nick Watney.
Meet Me at Medinah
Here's how the four picks separated themselves:
Steve Stricker ... Thought by many to be a lock for a pick the moment the PGA Championship ended with him on the outside looking in, there never really was much drama surrounding this one. He kicked off the season with a win at Kapalua. His current form is solid, finishing inside the top 13 in four of his five starts before the picks were announced following the Deutsche Bank Championship. Equally important, if not the number one factor, is the likely pairing of Stricker with Tiger Woods. Their history as partners is well-documented, and captain Love stressed the importance of his selections filling needs in the department of pairings.
Brandt Snedeker ... He was on the short list but likely just on the outside as he walked off the Ocean Course. He played the maximum number of tournaments between the PGA Championship and the time the captain's picks were announced, finishing T28 at the Wyndham Championship, second at The Barclays and T6 at the Deutsche Bank Championship. Add to that a body of work that includes a win at the Farmers Insurance Open and a T3 at the British Open, and he earned his selection in every way possible. Not lost on DL3 is Snedeker's reputation for being one of the best putters in the world, leading the PGA TOUR in Strokes Gained.
Dustin Johnson ... Much like Snedeker, Johnson entered the final three-week tryout for the Ryder Cup firmly on the bubble. Also like Snedeker, his performance down the stretch made him impossible to overlook. The bomber feasted on Bethpage Black's long layout at The Barclays and posted a T3. He followed that up with a T4 on TPC Boston at the Deutsche Bank Championship. He has a win on his résumé, and if not for an extended absence during the heart of the season, it is highly likely that he would have accumulated enough points to earn his way on the team anyway. With rumors floating around that Davis Love III will set up Medinah to play long, Johnson was a no-brainer selection.
Jim Furyk ... If there is a controversial pick, this is it. Furyk is the only member of the U.S. squad without a 2012 win, and easily could have avoided this dilemma altogether if he could have closed the deal on one of the three tournaments he handed away. While the Transitions Championship can be overlooked, his more notable collapses involved losing the lead on the last few holes at the U.S. Open and a surprising final-hole debacle at Firestone during the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. The arguments in his favor are that he put himself in that position so many times, and he went 5-0 in last season's Presidents Cup. While experience may have been a factor in this pick, I'm not sure how many good memories he'll be able to relay to his teammates. He is 8-15-4 in his seven Ryder Cups, which includes five European wins to just two for the Yanks. I would like to think he was the last man in, and earned the spot due to lack of form by both Rickie Fowler and Hunter Mahan as well as Nick Watney's body of work not qualifying as strong enough. In my book, Furyk's consistently been the last man in for the last few months due to the lack of a stronger option to bump him, and that remained the case until the end.
Not Invited to the Party
Here's why the next three were unable to squeeze their way onto the team:
Hunter Mahan ... It's shocking to think that Mahan could win twice in the year of the Ryder Cup, including the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play, and not make the squad, but that's exactly what happened. I have to think he was the first man out, but he has no one to blame but himself. He last cracked the top 20 when he tied for 19th at the British Open; his last top 10 was a T8 at the AT&T National. Both of those events were in July. Since then, he missed two of five cuts while a T39 at TPC Boston was his best finish leading up to the selections. Confirming to DL3 that he was correct in leaving Mahan off the team, he promptly finished dead last in the no-cut BMW Championship. It's not without precedent that someone hoists two trophies in a season and gets the snub. It happened to Brian Gay in the Presidents Cup in 2009. The difference is the Presidents Cup is a two-year race with two captain's picks, so Mahan's inability to earn a spot is a bigger surprise. If DL3 had the guts to take a chance on Mahan, I'd like to think he may have been rewarded, as Mahan's 2010 Ryder Cup ended with a disappointing single's loss that he would have been hungry to avenge.
Nick Watney ... He jumped into the fray with a win at The Barclays, and he would have made things very interesting if he could have contended at TPC Boston and notched a top 10. As it were, Watney's performance over the long haul did not rival that of those selected. His three other top 10s amounted to nothing better than an eight-place finish at the Wells Fargo Championship. He gets a check in the current form column, but there are too many gaps in his résumé to make a team as deep as this one. The 2006 season where J.J. Henry, Brett Wetterich and Vaughn Taylor made the squad would have been another story.
Rickie Fowler ... Much like Mahan, before the calendar turned to June it appeared he was a lock. The knock on Fowler had always been that he hadn't won. His first victory came at Quail Hollow in the Wells Fargo Championship on a legit course against an elite field. Heck, he even beat Rory McIlroy in the playoff. In his next two tournaments, he posted a T2 at TPC Sawgrass and a T5 at Colonial, but hasn't cracked a top 20 since. In retrospect, it appears Fowler may have made a mistake by taking a long layoff from the U.S. Open to the British Open, where he didn't play a tournament.
The Euros
Since we last checked in, the European team turned from pencil to pen and is also set for Medinah.
Joining the 10 automatics of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Peter Hanson, Martin Kaymer, Paul Lawrie, Graeme McDowell, Rory McIlroy, Francesco Molinari, Justin Rose and Lee Westwood are Jose Maria Olazábal's two captain's picks of Nicolas Colsaerts and Ian Poulter.
Colsaerts will fill a role similar to that of Ross Fisher in 2010. He's extremely long off the tee, rivaling Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson on the U.S. side. Colsaerts' selection also makes him the only rookie on the European squad.
Poulter was a rock on Nick Faldo's 2008 team that came up short at Valhalla, earning four points in five matches in what was the last time the Cup was contested on American soil. Cracking top 10s in three of the four majors, including a T3 in the recent PGA Championship, along with being the first man outside the automatic spots made the Englishman a no-brainer.
While it's hard to make a case for their being a snub on the European side, since Olazábal took the next two guys on the complicated European point list, there were some calling for Padraig Harrington to make the squad over Colsaerts. There would have been some safety in calling the Irishman's name due to his experience, but his body of work and recent form didn't demand the pick. The predicament with Harrington wasn't all that different to the one Jim Furyk found himself in, just with a different result.
We will check back in with a full preview of the Ryder Cup the week of September 23, previewing possible pairings and predicting who will shine for both sides of the pond.

It's on the PTR, patch 4.2, and it's coming soon to a Cataclysm near you! And with a new tier of raid content, we have (of course!) new hunter gear (as well as some other gear so the support classes can continue their role of supporting hunters).
The big hunter news in the new gear is that we finally have a raiding PVE gun: the Lava Bore Blunderbuss. This thing is a beauty. No more will we be forced to use PVP weapons simply in order to bring finely engineered instruments of death to raids. No more shall we be tempted by useless contraptions of twig and twine. Now we can all have a weapon worthy of hunters.
[Update: The WoW Insider editors, who clearly do not play dwarves, inform me that this observation is insufficient for a whole column, so I'm adding some other gear notes below. Hop past the patch if you have interest in anything other than guns. Yeah, that means you, elves.]

Some interesting choices in the early drafting rounds.
If one lesson was to be gained from Season 1, teams must establish a strong bowling lineup. Good batsmen are easy to find, and any decent first class cricketer is capable of filling a position. However, strong bowlers are tough to identify.
Teja had a solid bowling lineup on paper in Season 1, however his team was garbage with the ball and players like Kartik, Kumar and Tahir ended up with terrible records despite appearing good choices at first.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Masume Assaf, director of international student and scholar services in Global Programs at Penn State, was selected as the 2013 recipient of the Homer Higbee Award for Distinguished Service to the Association of International Educators (NAFSA). Assaf will be recognized at a special event at the 2013 Annual Conference & Expo held May 26 – 31 in St. Louis, Mo.
"This is a well-earned and well-deserved honor for Masume," said Michael Adewumi, vice provost of Global Programs. "Masume has dedicated almost 30 years to expanding international education and has advised and mentored countless peers and students along the way. She is one of the most widely recognized national leaders in international student advising."
The Homer Higbee Award is an annual award, according to NAFSA's website, granted to an individual who has donated at least 10 years of distinguished service to NAFSA's association and plans to continue as an active NAFSAn. The criteria used to select nominees includes three key areas: demonstrated expertise and commitment to the field by acting as a professional mentor to colleagues in two or more NAFSA knowledge communities; inspired other international educators through mentoring, publications, and service to NAFSA; and continues to serve in a variety of association leadership positions, both elected and appointed, where they can influence and encourage the professional development of others.
Assaf has advised international students at Penn State for 29 years. She has served on NAFSA's Board of Directors and is a frequent presenter at NAFSA conferences. Assaf was the recipient of NAFSA's Region VIII Award for Outstanding Contributions to International Education in 2005 and received the former Region IX Award for Outstanding Contributions to International Education in 1990. In 2006, she received the Administrative Excellence Award from Penn State. Assaf coauthored the original NAFSA F-1 Regulations for Beginners CEP workshop with Linda Gentile as well as the recently revised electronic edition. She has been the chair of NAFSA Region VIII as well as the national chair of the section on International Student and Scholar Advising. She has a bachelor of arts degree from New York University where she had a dual major in near eastern studies and political science and has an MS in TESL from SUNY Albany.

When the government encourages corruption
Medicare's Grocery Card Giveaway
The Department of Health and Human Services has given qualified approval for a Medicare provider to give away $20 grocery gift cards to induce seniors to get more taxpayer-funded health screenings, despite concerns the promotion could run afoul of federal anti-kickback laws.
The HHS inspector general, the agency's internal watchdog, gave the OK in a little-noticed advisory opinion earlier this year, declaring it would not punish the provider's good intentions even if the giveaway strayed into questionable legal territory.
"The goal of the gift card program was to incentivize patients to receive health screenings and other clinical services," the inspector general wrote. "...Although the Proposed Arrangement could potentially generate prohibited remuneration under the anti-kickback statute if the requisite intent to induce or reward referrals of Federal health care program business were present, the Office of Inspector General would not impose administrative sanctions."
HHS doesn't normally identify the names of organizations or people who requested advisory opinions, and officials declined to identify the medical facility that is considering the grocery card promotion.
Under the plan, the provider would pay the cost of the gift cards out of its own budget, meaning no tax dollars would be used for the promotion. But because the grocery card giveaway would entice seniors to get screenings and other care that would then be charged to taxpayers under Medicare or Medicaid, the legal issues were kicked to the inspector general.
The advisory opinion stands in contrast to courts which have deemed similar cases to be illegal in the past. Just last year, Walgreens pharmacy had to pay the government $7.9 million after a court ruled it was illegal to try to woo Medicare and Medicaid patients with free gifts. According to court records, Walgreens offered patients incentives "in the form of gift cards, gift checks and other similar promotions that are prohibited by law, to transfer their prescriptions to Walgreens pharmacies."
At the time, the inspector general came down against the free gifts.
"This settlement makes clear that corporations seeking increased profits over their patients' needs will pay a substantial price," IG Daniel Levinson said at the time.
The legal concerns stem from Section 1128B(b) of the Social Security Act, known as the "anti-kickback statute" which "makes it a criminal offense to knowingly and willfully offer, pay, solicit, or receive any remuneration to induce or reward referrals of items or services reimbursable by a Federal health care program," investigators said.
There are many risks surrounding rewards for medical practices, the IG said.
"First, such programs can corrupt the decision-making process, resulting, for example, in over-utilization, increased costs, or inappropriate medical choices. Second, there is potential harm to competing providers and suppliers who do not, or cannot afford to, offer incentives to generate business. Third, these practices could negatively affect the quality of care given to beneficiaries," the report noted. "As providers and suppliers race to the bottom by offering increasingly valuable goods or services, the incentive to offset the cost of these inducements by cheating on the quality of the Medicare or Medicaid item or service increases proportionately."
But the act, which governs Medicare and Medicaid, also makes exceptions when the goal of the giveaways isn't profit, but to promote general health. Certain rewards are allowed if they promote "access to care and poses a low risk of harm to patients and Federal health care programs."
The inspector general thinks the grocery cards fall into the latter category for several reasons. For starters, Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries are often assigned a health care provider based on location and family ties, and officials doubted people would take the time to fill out paperwork, petition the government, and drive longer to a different medical facility just to get a $20 gift card.
And the grocery cards wouldn't be advertised as incentives to draw in a broader sector of the public. The existence of the giveaway program would only be made known to a select few: Medicare and Medicaid patients assigned to the medical facility who have not been coming in for treatment. Furthermore, the medical facility is planning to pay for the cards itself, without government funds, and is limiting eligibility to one $20 card offer a year per person.
"We conclude that the proposed arrangement would pose a minimal risk of fraud and abuse under the anti-kickback statute," investigators concluded.
But, the IG noted, the entire idea has yet to be put into practice. Its opinion is only for advice, and the grocery cards could draw the attention of investigators again if something goes wrong.
"The OIG reserves the right to reconsider the questions and issues raised in this advisory opinion and, where the public interest requires, to rescind, modify or terminate this opinion," investigators warned.

Apologies for the poor quality of the pictures - the creature seems very shy and runs away when approached...
It is approx 2 inches long.
I hope someone would be able to help!
Thank you!
I'm pretty sure it is a cricket, but tricky for mortals to ID much further from your photos (I understand the problem).
However, gods like jaguarondi might be able to go a bit further [smiley]...
Oh thanks Mike, but crickets? No, not me - we'll have to leave this one to Florin I think.
You have more confidence in me than I have :-) I agree, it's a proper cricket, family Gryllidae, I would say even field cricket (Gryllus sp. or very close), but not more than that. We had a similar enquiry last week and the real experts (Orthoptera curators) couldn't tell what species it was even with a specimen in hand. I think an ID to species is beyond possible from just photos.
Thank you so much for your help all!

The most confusing part about all this is that any members of Congress continue to support the president on these matters. The broad wiretapping program is part of a serious (and so far successful) campaign by Cheney and his compatriots to expand the powers of the executive branch. While Congress continues to have their efficacy whittled away by the administration, they sit back and let him do it!
Do they need to align themselves with the president to enhance their image to the public? He's certainly not winning popular approval right now.
Do they need the approval and agreement of the president to achieve useful goals? He has yet to approve anything that doesn't fall into his specific ideology.
Do they expect the president to return the favor and compromise on other matters? He certainly hasn't so far.
So what's left? Why is Congress bowing down to this monster at their own expense? I can't understand why the Republicans in Congress support such an unpopular tyrant, much less the Democrats. Congress looks like a bunch of whipped dogs. Do none of them have the balls to start giving our government some semblance of repair and restoration?
They're like a guy who plays chicken in an SUV and runs off the road the second the other driver starts his compact car.
"There is absolutely no reason our intelligence officials should have to consult government lawyers before listening into terrorist communications with the likes of Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda and other foreign terror groups," said House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio).
Yes and the same can be said of the Democrats who went along with this travesty...
I think that every Republican who worked toward this should be tarred and feathered in their districts. Especially after they whine and bitch and holler about how bad it would be giving "amnesty" to all those illegal immigrants who have been actively supporting their agricultural state economies for years. This wiretap immunity is corporate amnesty.
This is above-and-beyond the obvious fact that it is perhaps the most illegal and immoral thing I've ever heard of congress doing.
Apart from failing in their duty to remove an unethical President from office?
Translation: In a Democrat controlled congress the Democrats could not convince their own people to reject this bill. Thus the bill passed with the help of some Democrats voting for this bill.
Re-translation: When Congress has little internal oversight, it's easy for the telecom companies to buy votes.
Because in a couple of months there will probably be a Democrat Administration that can thoroughly enjoy all the new uncontrolled powers that have been passed into law or simply seized during the past few years, while at the same time being able to pin the blame on the Republicans by saying "It wasn't us, it was them."The Dems caved. I'm not sure why though.
Oh please. -1 Flamebait. Democrats have a majority vote. Maybe not enough to counter a veto but certainly enough to pass the hockey puck up to the Prez.
They will do it anyway they can, and have been doing it for over 60 years. It's just now, when we are so digitally integrated, that is has become so much easier for them.
You either trust your government or you dont. If you dont trust the current admin, elect a new one.
I recommend reading "A Man Called Intrepid [amazon.com]". It details the beginning of the spy game, and how it dramatically turned the second world war around. The burden on our intelligence forces is great. The responsibility even greater. Have you elected the government you trust to use this intelligence infrastructure properly? Don't blame the telcos, blame those who are abusing the info.
You either trust your government or you dont. If you dont trust the current admin, elect a new one.What? No, these options are unacceptable. I choose to not trust any administration and insist that the power to break the law and then provide yourself with retroactive immunity should not be granted to government.
Well, here's why their approval rating is flat on its back at 11%.. cozying up to big telecom, while the people scream for their 4th amendment rights. Take that, rule of law. What's an industry-wide get out of jail free card cost these days, anyway?
Now that this is over, they can go back to offending Turkey and China.
It's easy. If you don't know who to contact or how to phrase your objection use this link:

The Citizens of the United States
extends our Constitution beyond American soil to our enemies who want to cut the heads off Americans,
Actually, that's more like extending our laws beyond American soil. The Constitution can't even be extended past the executive branch these days, much less beyond our borders.

ESPN.com reported the contract is for three years. Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall appeared to confirm the deal, tweeting "@DeseanJackson10 congrats lil bro welcome to Redskins Nation."
NBC Washington also reported the agreement after earlier indicating that the Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers were competing with Washington for Jackson.
CSN Washington reported that Jackson left Redskins Park after three hours of meetings. Jackson arrived in northern Virginia on Monday night and dined with members of the Redskins coaching staff, including head coach Jay Gruden.
ESPN.com reported that Jackson later went to a club with Hall and Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon. Both players publicly stated their desire for Jackson to join the Redskins, as did quarterback Robert Griffin III.
"Very exciting player. Determined to show he is the best and hungry to win. My kinda guy," Griffin told ESPN.
Jackson was released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday. The Redskins were the first team to schedule a visit. No other visits were announced.
The Eagles released Jackson just two years after he signed a five-year contract extension. The three-time Pro Bowler was due to make $10.5 million in 2014 and was owed $30.5 million over the remainder of his contract, but none of that money was guaranteed.
Jackson had his best season in 2013 with 82 catches for 1,332 yards and nine touchdowns. He has 356 career receptions, averaging 17.2 yards per catch, and has caught 32 touchdown passes. He also has three rushing touchdowns and four more on punt returns.
The Oakland Raiders, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers also showed some level of interest in Jackson, 27.

Less than 24 hours to go until Britain celebrates the one year anniversary of the 2012 Olympic games. But recent news reports of doping in athletics is becoming the big headline.
Usain Bolt attended a press conference ahead of this weekend's Diamond League meeting in London to celebrate one year after the 30th edition of the Olympic games.
The 26 year-old has unforgettable memories at the Olympic stadium in London.
The Jamaican won three gold medals at last summer's Olympics. Bolt was faster than his training partner, Yohan Blake in both the 100m and 200m. Bolt and Blake worked together to retain gold in the 4 x 100m relay for their country.
The six time Olympic champion will be looking forward to seeing his fans from Britain once again and hopes to relive the glory 12 months ago.
With recent headlines of high-profile athletes like Tyson Gay, Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson all failing drug tests, journalists used the opportunity of asking the fastest man in the world.
"I'm clean," said Bolt.
"You have to be careful as an athlete on what you do and what you ingest."
Bolt also pointed to his success as a junior as an indicator of his ability, rather than any illegal methods to enhance his performance.
"I have been doing phenomenal things since I was 15. I was the youngest person to win the world juniors at 15. I hold the world junior record at 19.93," he told the packed press conference.
"I've broken every record there is. In every event I have ever done, for me I have proven myself since the age of 15."
The 5-time world athletics champion is focusing on next month's world championships in Moscow knowing that his gold medal rival Yohan Blake is ruled out due to injury. Of course the likes of Powell and Gay are also out due to failed drug tests.
"I still have the world championships ahead of me," said Bolt. "Everybody is stepping up their game. So, I have to really focus on that."
Bolt will be hoping to have the 100m world championships medal around his neck for the first time in 4 years after being disqualified in the 2011 world final because of a false start in Daegu.

Black Caps under pressure as Windies strike
New Zealand was up against it at stumps on the fourth day of its second Test against West Indies in Antigua after two breakthroughs for the hosts left the Kiwis at 3 for 199, just 28 runs ahead.
Looking to erase a 171-run first-innings deficit, opener Martin Guptill and Brendon McCullum strove manfully to move the Black Caps towards positive territory but both fell after taking the tourists to 1 for 170 at one stage in the final session.
West Indies spinner Sunil Narine, who pulled out a maiden five-wicket Test haul in the first innings, made the first breakthrough in the second innings after trapping Daniel Flynn lbw for 20 in an early blow for the Kiwis.
But thereafter Guptill, who just missed a century in the first innings, and McCullum piled on the runs before falling for 67 and 84 as Narine and Kemar Roach claimed their respective scalps.
Guptill and McCullum had put on 123 for the second wicket before spinner Narine had opener Guptill caught by Assad Fudadin at short leg.
Kemar Roach then bowled McCullum to leave nightwatchman Neil Wagner on four not out with skipper Ross Taylor on 11.
West Indies had earlier made the Kiwis' opening tally of 351 look modest as they made 522 all out with skipper Darren Sammy instrumental in helping his compatriots to pass the 500 mark for the first time since Mumbai last year.
Sammy helped himself to a six over deep midwicket to bring up his third Test half-century before falling next ball to Daniel Vettori.
They reached the mark when Narine hit a boundary off Vettori before getting himself run out two balls later.
It then fell to Doug Bracewell to end the West Indies' first innings as he trapped Ravi Rampaul lbw for one before Guptill, who scored 97 in the first innings for the New Zealanders, and Flynn padded up to start chasing down the target.
Although Guptill and McCullum made light of the loss of Flynn their own demise suggested the West Indies looked the likelier victor.

Reader reaction was strong to Thursday's front-page photo of a mortally wounded J. Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya.
Stevens was killed Tuesday along with three other Americans in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. As the article that accompanied the photo noted, he was the first U.S. ambassador killed in the line of duty since 1988.
Some readers called the photo graphic, unwarranted, inappropriate, disgraceful, gratuitous and insensitive.
TIMELINE: 'Innocence of Muslims' unrest
"It was very distasteful and disrespectful to post the picture of Stevens, in death in such graphic detail, on the front page," Donna Shontell of Sherman Oaks said. "This plays into the hands of those responsible for these types of horrendous acts. I respect The Times for excellence in journalism, not for tabloid exploitation."
"Stevens was a dedicated, brave, and honorable man who died serving his country. He deserves our respect and gratitude," Betsy K. Emerick of Monrovia wrote. "Instead, by printing that photo, you have taken away his dignity and turned his sacrifice into an opportunity for exploitation and sensationalism."

After all, we think a 14 year old should be in control of her body enough to decide on her own to have an abortion, so why isn't she old enough to consent to sex?
I'm thinking about this because of a case that's in the news today:
Kaitlyn Hunt, or "Kate," has just refused a plea deal in a case that has focused the nation on discriminatory prosecutions and ways in which LGBT people are treated differently by some prosecutors. Kate Hunt, a high school senior who began a consensual relationship with a classmate three years her junior, when she was 17, was arrested when she turned 18 after her girlfriend's parents demanded her arrest and expulsion from school.
The Florida prosecutor, Brian Workman, offered her a deal vastly different from those generally offered to teens in her situation engaged in opposite-sex consensual relationships. Instead of offering her a misdemeanor charge Hunt is being charged with two felonies. Her plea deal would include her being forced to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life, no possibility of her case being overturned or records sealed, and forced to serve two years' house arrest.
"Hunt will appear in court June 20, and could face 15 years in prison if convicted... (source)
I'm curious what your thoughts are on the question in the subject line as well as on this case.

Actually a hidden part of the idea is that those who have mental disabilities would not pass the test and not be liable as an adult no matter their age. We already do that to an extent but it tends to be flawed.
Yeah, there will be loopholes - as with everything. I'd want to plug the loopholes as much as possible. I'm not quite up for starting a thread discussing the idea to refine it.
I do know one of the big issues would be an ID that is difficult to fake or borrow - but that problem already exists for IDs.
Actually i was thinking more of the ways such a system could be abused by authorities. What would exist to stop the government raising the bar, so that "adulthood" becomes an award given only to the intellectually superior people? There will always be cheats and fraudulent attempts to bypass systems, but there is not always a good protection process in place to limit the authorities.
I doubt in our society today that if such a system were implemented that it would be the "intellectually superior" people who were awarded with "adulthood". The system (like almost every system) would get abused (unless measures were put in place to try to prevent it) but in America today with the anti-intellectual attitude, that would not be the basis for "adulthood". Consider that politicians are deciding what "science" is valid (as well age of consent for various things).
Sadly, I would see most abuse being attempted in favor of the wealthy and those who "worship properly".
Even worse! Imagine if exhibiting the inclination to kow-tow to a deity, preferably one with a name that begins with a J, is considered a criteria for adulthood.
? Unseen? I don't understand.
Somehow my comment was attached to the wrong comment by Strega. Apologies.
@Strega - no, not just J. Deities starting with Y or G would work too. (Jesus, Jehovah, Yahweh, and God) Yeah, that is exactly what I was implying.
Personally I feel that the overly religious are behind too many of society's problems. They got on Planned Parenthood for "advocating" abortion so now PP tends to only answer questions put to them as someone mentioned upthread instead of providing more comprehensive info.
AFAIK the religious freaks were not behind instituting the sex registry but I wouldn't be surprised if they were.
They push for more repressive laws and the intelligent people push for less repression and we end up with a mix of laws that say 14-year-olds are not permitted to say yes to sex (whether or not they comprehend the consequences) but can say yes to an abortion - a surgical procedure (again whether or not they comprehend the consequences).
Ward, I agree with you that the overly- (and the overtly-) religious are behind many of society's (and America's) problems. Despite their claims, America wasn't founded on xianity, but many xians left their beliefs in what affects the lives of most elderly folk. Happily in my opinion, young people are discarding much religion-based claptrap.
This discussion started with an opinion in conflict with reality that has been repeated often: that 14-year-olds are not permitted to say yes to sex. There has long been so much sexual activity between young people that laws I have seen prohibit sexual activity between boys and girls whose ages differ by more than about three years.
Unseen, for reasons he knows and I won't try to guess, complained that a 14-year-old isn't allowed to consent to sex. According to the story I first saw in the news, the problem resulted when a 17-year-old turned 18 and an arbitrary and three-year age difference became an arbitrary four-year age difference.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is there actually a law that specifically prevent teenagers (<18 yo) from having sex? As far as I'm aware, the law only applies when an adult is having sex with someone who is underage. Basically, if two 14 yo have sex, there isn't much the law can do against that.
In that case, the law (or the spirit of the law, if you will) is aimed at preventing someone who is mentally more developed from taking advantage of someone who is mentally not yet (or less) developed. Where I live, a similar law is in place preventing people taking advantage of mentally handicapped.
Of course, there are more developed 14 year olds and less developed 25 year olds, but a cut-off point has to be made somewhere to make the law manageable (otherwise, everybody can make wild claims about abuse, which will be too costly to evaluate all of them). Currently, that cut-off point is set at the age of 18, presumably because that is the age at which most people are sufficiently mentally developed.
As for a 14 yo having to right to have an abortion, that would fall in the same street as her having the right to have sex; it's her choice, it shouldn't be the case that she is coerced/forced into it by an adult (or anyone for that matter).
As for the article, I think it is ridiculous that an already existing relationship suddenly becomes illegal due to a factor outside of the girls' control (turning 18). Either the relationship should have already been illegal, or the legality doesn't change.
Sex laws vary widely from location to location. In some, it's strictly enforced that if someone 18 or older has sex with someone under 18 (even a 17 year old an hour before their 18th birthday) that person is technically guilty of statutory rate. Not all prosecutors would go all the way in prosecuting such a case, but certainly some would. Bear in mind, too, that the 17 year old may have lied about her age. Also, I'm nowhere near 17 or 18 anymore, but I don't recall that back then anyone was talking about asking for the ID of someone who wanted to have sex and didn't particularly seem to be quite young. Maybe things have changed, but I doubt it.
I'm sure many of the 14 year olds who have sex with someone older haven't been coerced or tricked or seduced at all. And of course sometimes they have. But if we let her own her body enough to choose something as extreme as abortion, why take that ownership away when it comes to sex partners?
I totally agree with you on the last paragraph. And the fact that we don't let the 14 year old own her own body and sex life is part of the reason why a travesty like that can happen.
I think that may be "rape," rather than, "rate," but if the 14-year old is also a prostitute (and don't kid yourself, they're out there!), there could also be a "rate" involved. Just sayin' --
But if we let her own her body enough to choose something as extreme as abortion, why take that ownership away when it comes to sex partners?
But it's the other way around, right? We take away the ownership from the adult party by making it illegal for them to have sex with minors. Granted, the net result is the same, but I don't really see a way around that without giving the adult party a carte blanche.

Wage and Hour Division
Release Number: 12-1292-CHI
Judge orders officers of J.N. Moser Enterprises to pay more than $265,000 in back wages to 105 Illinois truck drivers following US Labor Department investigation
Contractor barred from future government contracts
CHICAGO -- An administrative law judge with the U.S. Department of Labor has ordered Kristy S. Schleining and Donald H. Schleining, president and vice president of J.N. Moser Enterprises Inc., respectively, to pay $265,722.27 in unpaid wages and benefits to 105 truck drivers. An investigation by the department's Wage and Hour Division found that the defunct Montgomery-based company violated the McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act by failing to pay employees the prevailing wages and benefits due under the terms of 16 federal contracts the company held with the U.S. Postal Service.
"Employers who enter into federal contracts are required to pay prevailing wages and benefits to workers in accordance with federal guidelines for the localities in which they live," said Karen Chaikin, regional administrator of the Wage and Hour Division in Chicago. "The Service Contract Act provides protections not only to workers, but also to employers who depend on the Labor Department to ensure that no company receives an unfair advantage by failing to comply with federal law. This law is designed to level the playing field, and this judgment illustrates our department's commitment to using every enforcement tool necessary to achieve that goal."
Investigators found that employees were not paid regular wages, required health and welfare benefits, and holiday and vacation wages for a period of three workweeks leading up to Feb. 1, 2009, when the company abruptly ceased operations. Additionally, accurate records of employees' pay were not maintained, as required under the SCA.
The judge ordered that Kristy and Donald Schleining must pay the back wages as the responsible parties. Additionally, the defendants have been barred from serving as federal contractors for a period of three years.
J.N. Moser Enterprises Inc. previously was investigated by the Wage and Hour Division for SCA compliance. In 2004, an administrative law judge found that the company and the Schleinings had violated the SCA and ordered them to repay $71,482 in unpaid wages.
The McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act applies to every contract entered into by the United States or the District of Columbia, the principal purpose of which is to furnish services to the United States through the use of service employees. The SCA requires contractors and subcontractors performing services on covered contracts in excess of $2,500 to pay service employees in various classes no less than the monetary wage rates and to furnish fringe benefits found prevailing in the locality, or the rates, including prospective increases, contained in a predecessor contractor's collective bargaining agreement.
For more information about the SCA and other federal wage laws, call the Wage and Hour Division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243). Information also is available at http://www.dol.gov/whd.

Reading Strategy: Tackling Reading through Topic and Main Ideas
Reading comprehension is one of the four skills essential in learning English. In a reading class, students tend to read all the information provided in reading materials, but how much do they actually retain? This study explores whether learners use identification of the topic and main ideas as a reading strategy to assist in reading comprehension. The objective of this study is to enable learners to determine key concepts and main ideas in reading texts. By using this technique, learners will be able to get a clearer picture of what they are reading. A sample of 48 English as foreign language (EFL) learners from a private university in Malaysia participated in this study. The two instruments utilized in this study were grade interval and a self-reflection questionnaire. The findings confirmed an improvement in participant's grades over pre- and post-reading assessments. Furthermore, the failure rate of the reading assessment decreased after the strategy was introduced. The results from this study will help instructors assist EFL learners in comprehending textual materials.

Wanda has been to Mexico with an MKL tour group. They flew out of Cincinnati last weekend to a near perfect 75 degree, four-star Ixtapan spa. It sits in the foothills of the Sierra Madres Mountains. She didn't say how many were in the group, but it was a mix of wives and husbands and ladies that needed a break from the winter weather.

Tears From The Hockey Gods, Not Raindrops, Are Falling On Southern California
December 20, 2010 14 Comments
No, not rain at all. Rather, the dark clouds reflect sadness and the drops falling from the sky are tears, as the hockey gods, at least, the ones who watch over the Kings and Ducks, are crying.
Graig Woodburn, 50, died on December 19, after a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer. He covered the Kings and Ducks for the Riverside Press-Enterprise, Associated Press and The Sporting News until a couple of seasons ago, and most recently, he moved to Boston to cover the Boston Bruins for WEEI.com during the 2009-10 season, and to be closer to his family.
