RIPLEY – After a decade long run as the head coach of the Ripley High School Viking football team, after much speculation, Jimmy Frashier officially stepped down in mid-March to accept an administrative position at Ravenswood High School.
For two weeks, Ripley Principal Will Hosaflook as toiled with the prospect of replacing the rock solid Frashier at one of the higher profile seats in the County.
Hosaflook, whose responsibility is to evaluate and recommend candidates to the Jackson County Board of Education, submitted his recommendation to BOE Superintendant Blaine Hesson Wednesday morning.
David Tennant, who is currently employed by Jackson County Schools as a physical education teacher at Fairplain and Cottageville Elementary Schools will be the name on the tongues of board members when they vote on Hosaflook's submission at 7:05 p.m. on Thursday.
While Tennants name doesn't appear on the agenda for Thursday's meeting, Hess confirmed that Tennant was the recommendation.
"We will be voting on Mr. Hosaflook's recommendation tomorrow evening. I will confirm that David Tennant is the candidate we will be discussing at length at that meeting. If Mr. Tennant is chosen for the position of Ripley High Football coach, we will release that information tomorrow evening," said Hess by phone on Wednesday morning.
Tennant, a1999 Wahama High School graduate, attended Ohio University where he played football for the Division 1 program.
He was named Head Football Coach at Eastern High school in Reedsville Ohio in 2011 where his team posted a (3-11) record in his first year and a (3-4) record in the Tri Valley Conference.
The Eagles took great strides in 2012 where they finished (6-4) overall and (5-3) in the conference.
During a push for their first playoff berth in over a decade, The Ohio High School Athletic Association ruled to strip Eastern of two victories after the school self reported a paperwork error involving a transfer student.
The OHSAA reversed its decision after the student's family submitted the proper paperwork.
The Eagles boasted a ground attack that racked up over 400 yards in a 39-6 romp of conference foe Waterford last season.

Bird is our go-to shop when it comes to (oft-aspirational) swoon-worthy pieces, but right now, the Brooklyn shop is making us weak in the knees for another reason: the release of its very first lookbook.
More flippable online magazine than virtual catalog, the lookbook (naturally) profiles the season's best effortless-cool clothes and accessories — but everything's modeled by adorable real-life couples. Images are accompanied by text explaining the couple's history, so expect plenty of talk about pets and (surprisingly short) engagements.

My latest article for Suicide Girls just went up. This is an attempt at answering the question I'm most frequently asked. Which is, "Where can I study Zen in my area?" Even people who have read the F.A.Q., where it says I don't have a clue about that will write something like, "I know you say you don't know about a lot of Zen centers. But I live in Bumfuck, Egypt. And I was hoping maybe you know a center in the metropolitan Bumfuck area. By the way, what would be the best bus route to take there because I don't have a car? And can I take my dog with me because I don't want to leave him alone for that long? Plus they have to serve vegan food because I'm a very strict vegan. And the place should be wheelchair accessible because even though I don't use a wheelchair I refuse to go in places that are not accessible. And can I sit in a chair there instead of on a zafu because once when I sat on the floor my leg started to fall asleep? And I don't want them to tell me anything but the stuff I want to hear. So can you ask them to do that too? Thanks! I love your writing. Dharma Punx was one of the best books I read last year!"
Uh, anyway, here's the closest thing to an answer I can muster.
I hope I haven't left out any of the centers I've visited. If I have, then please let me know and I can still edit the article to include you. No slight is intended. I'm just kind of dumb is all.
I just watched a documentary about Bukowski called Bukowski: Born Into This. That guy drank a lot! Good doc, though. And I love the beer shit poem.

Kevin Duffy: Napier has a few slip-ups but saves Huskies yet again
NEW YORK -- It is Nov. 22 at press time. It felt a heck of a lot like March 22 at The Garden. It is Nov. 22, just three weeks into what promises to be a wild college basketball season.
It's about time for the Shabazz Napier column.
I'll tell you this: At the beginning of the year, I made a pact with myself to limit my Shabazz Napier stories, sort of like a basketball team vowing to cut down on turnovers or missed free throws. You know -- setting preseason goals. Everyone does it.
And through those first five games, it seemed Napier's preseason goal was to get teammates involved. He nearly averaged a triple-double against lesser competition, and often appeared hesitant to shoot.
On Friday, Napier looked shaky at the line, back-rimming four free throws, the most he's ever missed in a single game at UConn. On Friday, he had committed seven turnovers, matching his career-worst.
But he had matched every Indiana bucket, silencing a red-and-white Hoosiers crowd too many times to count, single-handedly willing a stagnant UConn halfcourt offense in a game that was no doubt slipping away.
It was, quite simply, the most clutch 3-for-7 free throw, seven-turnover game in the history of college basketball.
"God blessed him today to be on this stage and play the way he played," said UConn coach Kevin Ollie.
This 59-58 UConn win, witnessed by a packed-in crowd that seemed more like Gampel than the Garden, was equally ugly and awesome. There were 35 fouls and about 45 lead changes. There were bodies flying, knees scraping the floor, coaches freaking out every few minutes. Kevin Ollie lost his mind when Napier was called for a palm in the first half.
Just about everyone lost it when he was called for a charge with 21 seconds.
It was the seventh turnover by Napier, one that almost cost UConn the game that he had quite literally just won by himself.
"It was a bonehead play by me," Napier said.
After Napier misfired on a 3-pointer and Indiana's Devin Davis secured the rebound, UConn guard Lasan Kromah crept up behind Davis, poking the ball away with 33 seconds. The shot clock had been turned off, but because everything happened so quickly, Indiana didn't seem to realize it. Trailing 59-58, the Hoosiers needed a foul. ASAP.
Kromah sent it to Napier, and he started toward the hoop. Indiana guard Yogi Ferrell was out of position, backpedaling to get in front of Napier.
UConn's all-everything guard extended his forearm into Ferrell, giving Indiana a break after he'd spent the entire night bailing out UConn.
"Yogi fell," Napier said. "With the new hand-checking rules, it's supposed to be a foul on Yogi. But the ref called an offensive foul."
While Napier explained, Ollie raised his eyebrows once, as if to agree.
"I had to change my mindset and get a stop for the team," Napier said. "There are bad calls, and sometimes you miss free throws when you need it. It's all part of the game."
If Noah Vonleh, Indiana's super freshman who was heavily recruited by UConn, had knocked down the final shot -- or gotten it off in time -- we'd be talking about that charge call through the weekend. UConn fans think it was the worst call since the Paul Pasqualoni hire. Understandable.
In real-time, it looked that way. But Napier initiated the contact, so I'm not sure. It's highly debatable.
This isn't.
"When (Napier) steps up, it's money in the bank," Ollie said.
There were the two 3-pointers to close the opening half.
There was the huge hoop with 7:08, a sequence in which Napier absorbed contact in the lane, flipped the ball to the back rim and watched it drop. He hit his knuckles on the floor three times afterward, his Huskies up 45-42.
Then there was a 3-pointer from the right wing with 4:24. There was the assist to DeAndre Daniels for a 3-ball on the next possession. There was a killer step-back with 2:27 to put UConn up one.
There was another layup, another with contact, at the 1:31 mark. That was the final point scored in this game, the last of Napier's 27 for the night.
Only after UConn got its final stop could Ollie exhale. He hugged everyone from assistant coach Glen Miller to trainer James Doran afterward.
He twice referenced his playing days in the press conference. Yep, this was the type of game that would fire up any ex-player.
"(Shabazz) relishes in the big moment," Ollie said. "Some people run away from the moment but he embraces it. It's just a special quality to have on the basketball court. I know I could never do that. I was the one passing it."
Said Indiana coach Tom Crean: "Shabazz Napier is just too good. He's got one of those unteachable abilities to make big shots at really crucial times."
He's the only guy in the country who can make 3-for-7 and seven turnovers look so unbelievably clutch.

Goals: Stardust was originally designed to capture comet dust and pre-solar interstellar materials in a special collector grid and return them safely to Earth. After its successful encounter with comet Wild 2, the spacecraft was retargeted as part of a Mission of Opportunity to study comet Tempel 1 -- the Stardust-NExT (New Exploration of Tempel) mission.
Accomplishments: On 2 January 2004, Stardust flew within 236 km of comet Wild 2 and captured thousands of particles in its aerogel collector. It then returned those samples to Earth inside an Apollo-like capsule in January 2006 -- the first collection of extraterrestrial samples from beyond the orbit of the Moon. The samples, primordial material from a cometary nucleus, unchanged since the birth of our solar system 4.6 billion years ago, produced a wealth of scientific data. The mission revealed comets were more complex than previously thought and carried with them the basic building blocks of life.
NASA retasked the spacecraft to perform a bonus mission to fly past comet Tempel 1 to collect images and other scientific data. Stardust traveled about 21 million km (13 million miles) in its journey about the sun in the weeks following the comet Tempel 1 flyby, making the grand total from launch to its final rocket burn about 5.69 billion km (3.54 billion miles).
The spacecraft also made a close flyby of asteroid Annefrank. Stardust's encounter with asteroid Annefrank was used as a dress rehearsal to prepare for its primary mission to study comet Wild 2. The spacecraft made its final transmission to Earth on 24 March 2011.

The Marlins were a hot teaming coming into this series but struggled with their pitching and lost two games in a row to a team they normally play big brother over. Who knew it was Anibal Sanchez's mother that would provide the fuel for a near no-hitter as his son took the mound this afternoon.
Sanchez struck out 11 batters as the Fish avoided the sweep and took the third game in what was a brilliant performance on Mother's Day. The Marlins offense provided the fireworks posting 8 runs on the scoreboard.
"In the sixth inning I didn't know there was a no-hitter going," Rodriguez said. "It took me by surprise. My pitching coach and bench coach let me know. They thought I was kidding, but I didn't know. It was hot out there."
Sanchez almost had a no-hitter earlier in the season back on April 22 against the Rockies. He did toss a no no in his rookie season in 2006.
Maybe mom should stick around a little longer?

Justin Bieber 'Believe' Songs: Listen to 'Take You,' 'Fall,' 'Thought of You'
Three more tracks from Justin Bieber's 'Believe,' which lands next Tuesday, June 19, have dropped online for your listening enjoyment. Today's installments are 'Take You' and 'Fall' and 'Thought of You.' We're breaking 'em down for you, since we're good like that.
'Take You' is a slow, falsetto-driven jam, with R&B undertones, paying homage to Michael Jackson, with a little Justin Timberlake thrown in for good measure.
It's clear from what we've heard that The Biebs has fully realized his desire to pick up where the King of Pop left off. Right now, with a track like 'Take You,' which begs to be danced to, JB is the Prince, and he is about to ascend the throne. He is pop royalty.
'Fall' is a bit more contemplative and not dance-oriented at all. It's a big, epic, ballad that will have the Beliebers swaying back and forth at his shows and in their bedrooms when they sing along. The Biebs promises to "catch you if you fall" in the tune's sugary sweet harmony.
The Diplo-produced 'Thought of You' has a bit of a world music flavor — it's very subtle — and is backloaded with percussion that thumps through the entire song, as well as layered harmonies. It's the most rhythmic of what we've heard so far.
We've heard most of the 'Believe' tracks and there is a real, tangible level of maturation to these tunes. It's been quite thrilling to listen to The Biebs' evolution. The album appears to be a mixed bag of styles and tempos, all unified by J to the B's swag, swag, swag.
We wanna know what you think PopCrush Beliebers. Which is your favorite 'Believe' song so far and of these two?
Listen to Justin Bieber 'Take You'
Listen to Justin Bieber 'Fall'

Since most epithelial tissues cover or line surfaces, they are often exposed to mechanical abrasion. Thus, epithelial cells must be able to readily replace themselves if necessary. Indeed, the cells are fully capable of cellular division, a process that occurs in epithelia rather rapidly. For instance, the epithelium that lines the small intestine is believed to be fully replaced with newly divided cells at least every six days. As new cells are created, old cells are sloughed. The outermost epithelium of the body, the skin, is another good example of the proliferation capabilities of epithelial cells. New skin cells are produced on an almost continuous basis in the innermost layers of the dermis in order to maintain the integrity of the outer layers, the cells of which persistently flake away.
The adherent culture of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells presented in the digital image above was labeled for the intracellular mitochondrial network and for filamentous actin with MitoTracker Red CMXRos and Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin, respectively. The ultraviolet-absorbing probe DAPI was utilized to counterstain DNA. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Florida Sen. Marco Rubio will deliver the Republican response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday.
House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky announced the selection of Rubio on Wednesday, calling him a strong advocate of conservative principles.
The 41-year-old Rubio was given a prominent speaking role at last year's Republican National Convention and has been touted as a potential presidential candidate in 2016.
The Cuban-American lawmaker has played a leading role among Republicans in seeking immigration reform, one of the year's top legislative priorities for both parties.
On the economy, he has said tax increases will not bring down the nation's $16 trillion debt and urged policies to promote economic growth and reforms to entitlement programs.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2006 Media Releases
Mayor Coleen J. Seng announced today that President Bush's fiscal year 2007 federal budget includes an earmark of $7.5 million for the Antelope Valley flood control project.
"This is the first time the project has been included as a line item earmark in the President's budget," said Mayor Seng. "The inclusion is an affirmation that the project meets the criteria and cost-benefit ratio established by the Army Corps of Engineers. Many people have worked very hard to obtain an earmark in the President's budget, and we are very pleased to have this important project included."
The funds are included in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers fiscal year 2007 budget. The funds are designated for construction of the flood channel. In previous years, the Nebraska Congressional delegation has had to request funding because it has not been included in the President's budgets.
The Antelope Creek flood control project is the centerpiece of Lincoln's comprehensive flood control, transportation and redevelopment initiative. The channel, currently under construction, has been completed from Salt Creek south to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks near Holdrege Street. Most of the excavation work has been completed south to "Y" Street. The earmarked funds in fiscal year 2007 would allow continued construction of the new flood channel from "Y" to "R" streets, including the retaining wall between the waterway and the new roadway.
The Antelope Valley Project is a partnership among the City of Lincoln, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District. When the project is complete, 961 homes, 336 commercial and industrial structures and 50 acres of University property will be out of the 100-year floodplain.

Pets, Pets, Pets
There are lots of "trolls" among us. Take a look at the "Three Billy Goats Gruff" below. This Poodle trio, abandoned outside an animal hospital, was severely matted, scared and malnourished. The photo shows them after shave-downs and multiple baths at Babylon Shelter. No one knows their background or the "troll" who dumped them. Nevertheless, the Poodles are getting care now. What about the countless neglected pets whom no one knows exist? I shudder to think how many are out there.
Dogs and cats cannot call 911 for help. There is so much animal suffering, more now because of the economy. Those seized by the SPCA, entering shelters or in the possession of humane groups are just the tip of the abuse/indifference iceberg. No matter how bad their condition, at least these animals are on the rescue radar screen. So many more remain hidden. Their plights fall into different categories:
• For most Pit Bulls confined outdoors, life is the pits. The LI town shelters are filled with discarded Pit types which presently comprise over 75% of the dogs at Babylon Shelter and similar percentages in other LI municipals. Only the totals differ. (For example, Babylon averages 40-50 dogs while Brookhaven has about 180.) In certain respects, the Pits in the shelters, even if they linger, are better off than the ones left behind.
Since the message about spay/neuter has gotten out to responsible dog owners, most litters or pregnant dogs coming into shelters are Pits because this breed often appeals to the wrong people for the wrong reasons. To the emaciated Pits that enter with cuts or bite wounds, demodectic mange and/or lactating, any TLC or medical care offered at the shelter may be the first time they were ever shown kindness. The shelter becomes their Waldorf-Astoria. Chris Elton, director at Babylon, has an expanding collection of bulky chains and spiked collars removed with pliers. He is decorating his office with this unique window treatment. It serves as a reminder of what these poor dogs have to withstand.
Almost Home (www.almosthomeli.org) visits Wyandanch offering a non-judgmental outreach, food, supplies and free spays/neuters to over 100 pet owners (many harboring chained Pits) who sign up for their Training Wheels™ program. Despite this incredible assistance, there's still a plethora of unseen Pits throughout other LI areas without compassionate attention.
No one helps them.
•Hoarding and cruelty situations are numerous. Unless the owner reaches out for help, or an outsider notifies the authorities, most times the abuse continues. Only in the movies, does a dog escape and lead police to the scene of the crime. Last year when the Medford woman allegedly tortured and killed dogs in front of her young daughters and then buried them in the yard, her older son tipped off the SPCA. Last month tenants called the Nassau DA animal cruelty line to report their Long Beach landlord who allegedly raped his Shiba Inu.
An exception to human intervention is the prompt for the Suffolk SPCA raid on the secluded West Hills dermatologist's mansion in September. This time the overpowering ammonia fumes from the trapped dogs' urine set off the fire alarm causing emergency response teams to notify the SPCA. Agents discovered 115 live plus decomposing dogs inside. How many pets continue to anguish in other hoarders' and torturers' hands because the authorities or neighbors are unaware? No one helps them.
• Feral cats are ubiquitous. Only some are fortunate enough to have caregivers monitoring them. On Oct. 24th, Last Hope Animal Rescue held another free TNR (Trap/Neuter/Return) clinic open to the public. This time 90 feral cats were spayed/neutered, vaccinated, as well as treated for fleas and ear mites at a 16 hour marathon surgical session held at the closed Bide-A-Wee in Wantagh. An all volunteer team of eight veterinarians, vet techs, various helpers and the caretakers who trapped the cats and continue to provide follow up care worked together to ensure that these cats would never contribute to the heartbreak of feral overpopulation.
Ninety cats altered in one day is an admirable goal; yet it is only a drop in the kitty bucket. On this particular day, 110 were booked. A percentage always eludes capture. Managed colonies are the solution to this community cat problem, but this strategy is up against all sorts of "trolls", even callous people who abduct and dump castrated cats to fend for themselves in unfamiliar territory, or secretly add new entrants, overloading established colonies. Worse yet- what about the thousands of invisible LI ferals completely on their own? No one helps them.
• At times, pets are unintentionally neglected, not because of hoarding, but due to the mental, physical, or financial state of the owner. Some of the matted and malnourished pets that rescuers see belonged to elderly people who died or entered nursing homes. Because of frailties or even dementia these folks may no longer be able to care for a pet, let alone themselves. Unemployment and foreclosure have left people of all ages desperate. Pets become innocent victims of hard times. How many more anonymous pets are abandoned or living in dire straits? No one helps them.
For Adoption at Babylon Town Shelter (631-643- 9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon: When "TheThree Billy Goats" Poodles were found in a box several weeks ago, they were frightened and barely recognizable as dogs. These adults, possibly mother and offspring, are becoming quite sociable. The shelter's vet suspects diabetes or Cushing's disease in the older female. More tests are pending.

I appreciate it very much that people like madsonic take great effort in creating a fork of subsonic with additional features, but it is rather useless as long as there is no real documentation about these features and the consequences of most of the settings.
For instance this non transparent behaviour of madsonic in naming and sorting by folders is continous annoying.
I always get mad about software that thinks it is smarter than me and corrects my intentions where there is nothing to correct.
Normally my folder structure is DRIVE:\MP3s\Albumartist\Album\Files, which works fine.
For some reason I want to have some special music-folders with a folder structure "DRIVE:\MP3s\Specials\Subfolder\Albumfoldername\Files".
In these cases the "Albumfoldername" looks like this: (Number) Albumartist - Album
In these cases Madsonic does not show the real name of the albumfoldername but instead of this filters out the albumartist and so shows "(Number) Album".
It obviously does take the folder and not a content of a tag, because it shows "(Number)", which can only be retrieved from the foldername.
But why does it want to be so smart and filter out the name of the albumartist, which is essential for a infomative listing?
The only way to get madsonic to show the foldername as it really is, is to point the music-folder to "DRIVE:\MP3s\Specials\Subfolder". In this case madsonic lists all Albumfoldernames as they really are named in the left frame under an index that includes the "(".
As long as I point the music-folder to "DRIVE:\MP3s\Specials" madsonic wants to be smart and messes up my real albumfoldername.
Is there any way to get over this annoying behaviour?
Any experimenting with the different settings did not lead to a change.

Grand Theft Auto III – Unique Jump FAQ
Unique Jump FAQ by KKanellos
Version: 1.4 | Updated: 05/29/02
Unique Jump FAQ for Grand Theft Auto 3
by Kurt Kanellos
Version 1.4 - May 29. 2002 - jump #15 qualifications confirmed
Version 1.3 - Mar. 30, 2002 - all jumps now list qualifications
Version 1.2 - Jan. 4, 2002 - added more specific qualifications for most jumps
Version 1.1 - Dec. 1st, 2001 - minor correction to Jump #18 directions *Thanks
to Jacob Seligmann*
Version 1.0 - Nov. 6th, 2001 - first draft
Well, here's the locations of all the Unique Jumps in GTA3... and that's it.
No story. No hints. No tips. No cheats. No walkthrough.
Just the jumps. :)
1) On the Callahan Bridge, going from Staunton to Portland, drive in the center
going east until you hit the yellow and black 'ramp'. I'm not positive, but I
believe you have to land in the grass below without hitting the sides of the
bridge for it to count.
2) Under the Callahan bridge in Portland; it's a grassy hill in the center.
This one took a while to earn because it's very difficult to get up enough
speed to clear both horizontal girders - otherwise it doesn't count. Hit this
one going EAST.
3) Near the center of town, by a subway entrance, there's a ramp that allows
you to jump up onto the L tracks. To get there from the Callahan bridge: head
north, then take a left at the Punk Noodles resturant. Take the next right, and
head north - you'll run right into the jump. Land on the tracks for credit.
4) From the Callahan bridge, head east and take the first right(south). Keep
going south until you get to the ocean. Look to your left to see a gravel
pile, which is the Unique Jump. When you hit the jump, don't "cheat" it and
land on the ledge to the left - it won't count. Hit it straight, fly over the
water, and land on the dock on the other side. There's plenty of path leading
up to the jump, so getting up enough speed should be easy in a fast car.
5) Same area as the previous jump - as you head south, as you approach the
ocean, follow the road as it curves east. When you get to the next curve, look
right - there's a ramp set up against the wall near some construction cones.
In order for this one to register you only have to clear the first building,
not the second one.
6) From the Callahan bridge, head east. When you get to the building with the
busses, turn around, and head back in the direction you came from. You'll see a
ramp on your left to jump a small building. Clear the building completely for
7) As you enter the docks, turn right. There's a jump over some truck trailers.
Clear all trailers for it to count.
8) As you leave your hideout, take a left(south) and drive in the grass near
the riverwalk. As you approach the elevated walkway, you'll see a concrete ramp
just past it. Hit this ramp going north to jump the walkway. Clear the walkway
for it to register.
9) As you leave your hideout, take a right. Then take the 1st left(it's not on
the map)and you'll come to a multi-level parking garage. Drive to the top
floor; there's a ramp on the southwest corner. This one seems to be giving a
lot of people some trouble. I've gotten it to register 2 ways - favor the left
side of the ramp so you end up flying over the trees into the lot below. I've
also landed on the sidewalk to the right of the trees, and got credit that way
as well.
10) As you leave your hideout, take a right. Then take the second left(first
left according to the in-game map)which takes you down a hill, and curves to
the right(south). In the southeast corner, after 2 smaller jumps, is the Unique
Jump. Clear the water and land safely on the next dock for credit.
11) As you leave your hideout, take a left, then your first right. Take this
street east until you come to a T interection, and take a right onto the
highway going south. You'll come to a point where, in the center, there will be
a small incline that allows you to get onto the center of the highway. It will
slope down, between two trees, and through a small 'tunnel' up the ramp. You
don't have to clear the Callahan Bridge for credit - slamming into the
billboards seems to be enough. :)
12) From the Callahan Bridge, head south. Almost immediately on your right,
you'll see an internet cafe' with glass walls. Drive through the glass, up the
stairs, and out the other side. (Thanks to Rossi_84) This one is tricky just
because of the awkward approach angle. Land on the path past the first set of
bushes on your right, and you should get it.
13) As you enter Shoreside from the Shoreside Lift Bridge, take a left on the
first street. Keep heading west, into the airport. Crash through a gate and
follow the road as it curves south. As the road curves west again, there should
be an airliner with the jump set up against it. I believe you get credit if
you land on the wing, or completely clear it.
14) Same area as the previous jump, but keep driving west, past the airliner.
You'll come to a hangar on your left, with 3 yellow and white striped jumps
next to it. Use one of these jumps to fly over the hangar. With all the hangar
jumps, you have to clear the building completely.
15) Same area again. Drive by the hangar you just jumped, heading south. You'll
come to a hangar with the same yellow and while striped jumps on one side, and
helicopters on the other. You just have to clear the hangar, not the
helicopters, for credit. I received many, many emails on this one; thanks to
all who wrote me.
16) And once more, same area in the airport. East of the previous jump, there's
yet another hangar and with 3 ramps by it. You know what to do - clear the
17) As you enter Shoreside from the Shoreside Lift Bridge, stay on this road
briefly and you'll come to a dirt path on your right, just before the first
billboard. Take the path to a broken bridge, and jump it. Simply land on the
other side for it to count, and it doesn't have to be pretty.
18) As you enter Shoreside from the Shoreside Lift Bridge, stay on this road
follow it as it curves heading north. You'll get to the top of a hill; follow
the road west. Right before you get to the T intersection, take a left into the
area on the corner. As you pass the building on your left, look east. There's a
ramp against the wall. Make SURE you angle to the left so that you land in the
fenced-in area on the building below or it WILL NOT COUNT! This one drove me
crazy trying to figure it out.
19) Same exact area as the last jump, but it's hidden in an alley in the
southeast corner. Land *cleanly* on top of the 5-garage building below,
roughly over the second garage from the left. You'll go flying off the roof
due to your speed, but you'll get credit.
20) As you leave your hideout, head south and drive down the grassy hill to the
road below. Now, follow the road north, up the hill and through the tunnel.
Eventually, the road curves to the right - but to the left is a dirt barrier.
Hit it, jump the river, and land on solid ground for it to register.

text: I was recently asked this question: Is the exclusionary rule needed to deter illegal police searches? Reams have been written pro and con on the inherent value of the exclusionary rule. Indeed, as far back as the early 20th century, a little more than a decade after the rule emerged in American jurisprudence, Benjamin Cardozo noted that the exclusionary rule had been the subject of so much debate that "little of value can be added."1 But as circumstances evolve and the government's technological capacity to snoop, search and seize increases, it is important to revisit the question of whether the rule serves as a deterrent to lawless behavior. For if ever there was a time when Americans need an effective bulwark against governmental overreaching and oppression, it is now. To support the view that exclusion is a deterrent, it is useful to take a look at developments since the Supreme Court decided a case that was the focus of an earlier Inside NACDL column.2 The Supreme Co

Dr. Marcia Stefanick, a Stanford University School of Medicine professor, says that with estrogen and progestin pills, "the overall picture is clearly one of harm," as these pills have been shown to increase the risk of cancer by 24%.

If they must use hormone pills, they should use the lowest dose for the shortest amount of time. [USA Today]

Wedge issues are the rhetorical enablers of the bitterly partisan politics that have disfigured our national conversation in recent years.
They're the controversial questions on which significant numbers of voters hold views that admit no compromise or nuanced disagreement. Candidates raise them to divide their constituents and to morally discredit their opponents. Abortion is a classic wedge issue, but of declining electoral utility, since roughly equal numbers of voters hold strong views on both sides of the matter. Gun control used to be a reliable wedge, but now that the majority of Democrats have thrown in the towel, there's little profit in raising it. Even same-sex marriage no longer excites the passions it once did.
Immigration, on the other hand, is the grandfather of all wedge issues — with a history of arousing electoral passions that extends in one iteration to the 1920s and, earlier, to the Nativists. That's why, as The Times' Brian Bennett reported this week, more than 10 House Republicans are sponsoring the Secure Border Act of 2011, a draconian piece of legislative fantasy that directs the Department of Homeland Security to submit to Congress a five-year plan to eliminate all undocumented immigration and smuggling. This legislation follows a request by all seven GOP members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that Homeland Security calculate for them the cost of deporting all of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S.

It's been so long since this show last had an episode out, and it'll likely be the last to the finish line. But slow and steady wins the race here. Unless you're Marii. So in that sense, it's fitting that the first segment was all about being the last one. Some of the cultural references from gg were obvious (like "Toonami"), but it fit the rhythm of the jokes, so I didn't mind. Seeing how the jokes get from point A to point B through convoluted wordplay is the charm of this show anyway. The envelope game was fun to watch. Kigu and Tetora are going to have a lucky new year.
The second segment was interesting, going from Fear Factor to shrines to aging without skipping a beat. Gankyou just went up another level. Not only can she become President of Space, she can pull off the cutesy act better than Kigu, even. So Tetora wants to use the blessing to make her chest bigger... even she doesn't have completely perfect luck, I suppose.
For the third sketch, I had to look up what the May blues were, and it looks like it's one of those mental conditions that only Japan has a term for. Like chuunibyou. Seeing them try to apply it to every other month was just the kind of exercise in wordplay I like. Yamashita was almost as bonkers as the moon rabbit, but at least we know where Yamashita came from. Everyone enjoys making Marii the butt of jokes - and that's why Marii's my favorite, because she gives into the madness as much as they pile it on her.
Sleep well, Marii. Yamashita's watching you.

Episode 8s been the best one in a while.
The previous 2 episodes were really really pun-heavy and had tons of politician jokes.
While still puny in 8, it at least dealt with regular stuff you can get even if you don't live in japan.

Kigu may have a point about kids liking round things. The Smile Pact? Round. Wizard Rings? Round. Gorisaki's face? Round. Precure references showed up quite a bit in Zetsubou Sensei too, I wonder what it is Kumeta has for that franchise. Loved Kukuru's infinitely-repeating Buddhist thing. The plan to make them chubby wasn't a bad idea, girls with a little extra something can be appealing. Kigu's rendition of the monstrous Mickey Mouse isn't appealing for anyone, except maybe Warren Spector. The extreme amount of Marii butt focus (and 2001 jokes) were great - keep talking about Marii's ass all you want, I am eager to listen. The foreigner bit sorta reminded me of Commdore Perry from Zetsubou, but with him seeking to "protect" the girls instead of "open" them.
Kukuru's hairstyle in the zoo sketch looked pretty good on her. Everyone has so many different casual clothes, and yet we've rarely seen them in the style of clothing decided on as casual in the first episode. I wonder if the naked mole rat segment will inspire any fanartists to draw Kukuru as Kim Possible. The other mole rat related thing she could be drawn doing, as implied by that scene, is not safe for work. The best gag in this segment was the dead-eyed stare given when Chatran/Milo and Otis was brought up. Animal abuse isn't cool. The reference to Polar Bear Cafe makes me wonder how the planning session for this anime went, if they were able to get in a reference to a series that aired at the same time as this one.
Oh hai iDOLM@STER Producer. This segment shows why Marii is my favorite character - her life isn't as bad as she thinks it is, in fact it's pretty good. But the universe conspires against her to make her unhappy, and it's hilarious. Who knew Marii could bring out the rare Dark Tetora? The MomoClo outfits the girls were wearing are from "Z Densetsu", I checked. The start and the end of this segment were peaceful, almost dreamlike. The concept of the end of the world fascinates me on some level, so to have it be initiated by an idle Marii is a much calmer way than one would expect humanity to die off.

The first sketch of episode 10 was one of the strongest sketches this show's done. (This may be partially because it related to the country I'm in. The show airs in September, releases in January, but is subtitled in October. Didn't take that into account, Kigu.) Another jab at the Mouse. Good work from Saori Goto doing the Mickey Mouse-esque voice. So many gags in a short span of time - trade sequences, what makes Halloween work in its country of Origin, Abe Lincoln... and of course, an extended riff on K-ON!. Looking at the DVDs they were trading around - Milky Holmes and Madoka Magica - I can confirm that the Joshiraku girls share my taste in anime.
Can't believe how late to the punchline I am on this one. It's only with this episode that I realize the second sketches have consistently been a "tour of Japan" style deal, this week bringing us to Kabukichou. All it needed was a Argynnis sagana voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa and it would've been complete. Marii's fantasy sequence at the end was a great way to cap off the segment.
The final sketch was alright, with the best moment being Mask's epic leg maneuver. Marii's dentist dance was pure nonsense, but at the same time, I'm used to this sort of nonsense by now.
The first segment made this episode, and there's still three/four more to go. I look forward to seeing how the show tops itself next.

Just watch eps.10. kinda miss seeing Marii's butt-shot.
I always enjoyed their Tokyo tour segment. It sure gives a glimpse of the on how the locals perceived the different districts featured, albeit within the skew minds of the Joshiraki girls.
The first segment is really amusing with it getting all meshed up with the different aspect of American culture and icons and it's relation to the modern Japanese society in general.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Two Tampa Bay lawmakers are proposing solutions to gun violence in the wake of the Connecticut school shooting.
A Hillsborough County commissioner wants an annual gun buyback program and a yearly memorial for victims of gun violence.
The Tampa Tribune (http://bit.ly/WbhrIa ) reports that commissioner Kevin Beckner will make a proposal next week. Under his plan, money to buy weapons would come from an annual county allocation plus local business support.
In St. Petersburg, Councilman Steve Kornell will propose next week to support a lobbying effort with state and federal officials for increased gun control, including reinstating a national ban on assault-type weapons.
Kornell says he wants to ban military-style weapons as well as create laws that make it easier to prosecute people who illegally purchase guns for others.

What is it about weird photoshops by automakers? There was this completely confusing Maserati one a few months ago. Now Porsche has its own photoshop fail. Can you blame us for thinking the Germans would be perfectionists about this sort of thing?
Actually it took me a little while to see what was wrong with this particular press photo, but you can't un-see it. Thanks to all of you, however, our imaginations don't have to run wild as to what was going on in the editing room.
So why did Porsche chop a guy's legs off? MadMax might know:
Now was that really worth it Porsche? It's 2014, after all.
Also worthy of COTD mention are Russian Supervillain RV and Articulating Range Rovers.

Jonathan necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 82 diseños de 26 diseñadores freelance.
Love beer? We're starting a new microbrewery next year and need the iconography for it. Very few restrictions, we're looking for creativity. Savory beers focused on weeknight consumption.
Monday Night Brewery
I think the necktie concept has us the most excited right now, but we haven't seen an execution of it that we're really in love with. What we'd love is just the tie, by itself, looking loose or untied, in a style with a little more of a pen-and-ink feel. Something a little illustrative, with some definition, much like New Belgium's awesome logo with the bike.
We need a logo for our soon-to-be microbrewery based in Atlanta, GA. Can be anything, but ideally should evoke the name of our brewery (Monday Night Brewery) and/or weeknight consumption, centered on quality over quality.
Our target market is the male young professional, 25-35ish.
We are 3 25-30-year-old young professionals living and working in Atlanta as well. We moved into the same neighborhood over the last year so that we could focus on one particular area (local focus is important to us as well). We have been realizing our dreams for a new craft brewery over the last 2 years. We will be launching with 2 beers:
- A malty IPA with citrus notes
- An earthy, smoky scotch ale (dark but not bitter)For inspiration, beer brands we admire: Dogfish Head, Rogue, Flying Dog
- Final deliverable must be in Adobe Illustrator vector format or EPS
- Should be above all else, easy to read. Think about how it will translate when shrunk and put onto a beer bottle.
- Does not have to be in one color, but must be able to be turned into one color for printing purposes (without looking bad)
- Again, must be related to Monday nights or weeknights in some way (doesn't have to be direct, but the connection should be there)
- Bonus points if it's clear you've shown thinking on how this would translate to the shelf
- Anything remotely resembling clip-art

Baptism is taught in the Bible and has been practiced for centuries, but understanding of its meaning and respect for its importance is at a low ebb today. Confusion reigns over questions about its mode and its place in the life of the Christian, and as a result, even many evangelical congregations are downplaying its significance.
This is not the way it should be, Dr. R.C. Sproul declares in this Crucial Questions booklet. Baptism, he affirms, is one of the two sacraments of the Christian church, a sign and seal of the covenant of grace. Therefore, it is a necessary and meaningful practice that is packed with rich symbolism. In this booklet, Dr. Sproul provides help in understanding and appreciating this practice of the church.
As a gifted communicator, R.C. Sproul has helped many believers grow in their understanding of such matters as the nature of God, the history of redemption, and the manner in which we are saved. Now Dr. Sproul's lucid teaching on these vital matters is available in a series of concise booklets that are perfect for personal learning and refreshing, as well as small-group study. For a quick introduction to matters at the very core of the Christian life, for yourself or a friend, consider the Crucial Questions booklets from Reformation Trust Publishing.

"Expanding the playoffs is something that is good for us as an institution, and good for our league," Van Alstine said.

In a quick update to this post from yesterday, a team that likes Daniel Murphy and checked in on him told ESPN New York that the Mets' asking price was "substantial." That led the source to speculate that the Mets ultimately may hold onto the second baseman.
"The team that approached the Mets, by the way, had no interest in using Murphy as a second baseman. They would have restored him to a corner infield spot."
I feel the same way and "I believe the Mets have no real interest in moving Murphy unless they are overwhelmed."
That's what I tweeted yesterday and I've had that hunch for about a week now…
Keeping Murphy for me is good news… I've always been with 28…
Original Post
One rival GM who we spoke to this morning, would not deny or confirm this morning's report by Jim Duquette of Sirius Radio that the Mets asked the Baltimore Orioles for top prospect Dylan Bundy in exchange for Daniel Murphy.
However he did say,"If that's true, there's no chance they trade Murphy…Murphy is a nice little player, but I can't see any team willing to part with a young live arm like that for his particular skill set."
To add a little context here, going into the 2013 season, Bundy was the No. 2 ranked prospect by MLB's Jonathan Mayo, ahead of Zack Wheeler, Travis d'Arnaud and Noah Syndergaard.
More context. Would you trade Noah Syndergaard for Brett Gardner or Brandon Phillips?
That's what I thought too…
That said, neither our guy or the exec believed there was any truth to the rumor…
Original Post 12/9
Adam Rubin of ESPN New York says that Alderson acknowledged the Mets won't add another free agent of a Stephen Drew caliber and price tag unless a contract is subtracted from payroll.
Rubin also added that Alderson made it sound like Eric Young Jr. is not necessarily a reserve. Which seems to indicate that Daniel Murphy still could get traded.
Today the Mets have gone from passive to aggressive in their pursuit to trade Murphy. Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reports that Sandy Alderson is pushing very hard to deal heir doubles-machine Daniel Murphy.
MMO's John Delcos spoke to one rival executive who said "it's not a matter of if, but when" they'll trade the popular Mets second baseman.
"There is certainly a market for him," another team beat writer said, but Andy Martino of the Daily News disputes that writing that there's "some skepticism among team execs that they will find many takers for Murphy."
So there's some mixed reactions to dealing Murphy, but nothing concrete other than an overriding sentiment that the Mets are anxious to move him.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2009 Media Releases
Number remains steady as City size increases
Mayor Chris Beutler today said increased snowfall is largely the reason for a 14 percent increase in the number of traffic crashes in Lincoln from 2006 to 2007. The number increased from 7,584 to 8,642. (A summary follows this release.) The total monetary loss to the public from traffic crashes in 2997 is estimated at $191 million. But overall, the Mayor said, the number of crashes has remained fairly constant from 1988 to 2007, despite a 45 percent increase in the City's size over those years.
"If the number of crashes had increased at the same rate as vehicle miles traveled, the City would have experienced nearly 6,000 additional crashes in 2007 and nearly $133 million more in monetary loss," Beutler said. "Decreasing the number of crashes is an important priority as we work to keep our citizens safe." The Mayor said the number of fatal accidents has not significantly changed since 1992.
The City had 33 inches of snow in 2007 compared to 18 inches in 2006. The Mayor said the report shows that over time, the number of crashes is directly related to the amount of snowfall.
Beutler thanked the drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists who have helped keep crashes down by following the rules of the road. He said another major factor in keeping crash numbers low is the Transportation Safety Program the City has had in place since 1979. The Public Works and Utilities Department works with other City Departments to focus on the "three E's" - engineering, enforcement and education.
Earlier this week the City's 2006 crash study received a "Merit Award" from the American Council of Engineering Companies. "The annual study is important because it helps us decide where to best use the City's limited resources," said City Public Works and Utilities Director Greg MacLean. "We also use the data to determine where to seek federal funds to implement needed safety improvement projects."
MacLean said the City receives an average of about $600,000 in federal safety funds annually. These funds are used for safety projects like the recently approved I-180 east ramp at Superior Street, which is in the design phase, and a roundabout at the south ramp terminal of Cornhusker Highway and 14th Street.
Police Chief Tom Casady said motor vehicle traffic crashes cause far more damage, injury and loss of life in Lincoln than all crimes combined. "Traffic law enforcement reinforces compliance to protect all citizens, and it is an important priority for LPD," he said. In 2007, LPD issued 47,997 official citations and 44,089 warning citations for traffic law violations.
Bruce Dart, Health Director of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD), said injuries from crashes are very preventable. The Department's educational efforts on pedestrian safety are coordinated by the local Safe Kids Coalition, which includes a traffic specialist from Public Works and Utilities and an accident investigator from LPD.
* Non-reportable crashes are those in which no one was killed or injured and the estimated cost of damage is less than $1,000 (2006). That number has been adjusted through the years for inflation.
The 2007 crash report is available on the City Web site at lincoln.ne.gov.

Edwin Burnett and Ryan Lund
"I've Got Your Back" backpacks offer help and fun for UNC pediatric cancer patients.
Edwin Burnett of Southport was diagnosed with cancer when he was two years old. Ryan Lund became his best friend and accompanied Edwin when he came to UNC for chemotherapy. "Ryan had my back," Edwin explains. The two friends, now both freshman at UNC- Chapel Hill (Edwin) and University of South Carolina (Ryan), completed a senior project called "I've Got Your Back." They collected donated items and put together backpacks for pediatric cancer patients being treated at UNC. Edwin graduated from South Brunswick High School in Southport and Ryan graduated from Hoggard High School in Wilmington.
Edwin explains, " Ryan and I came up with the idea. Since I was treated so well at UNC I felt it was my responsibility to give back and make the other kids' time battling cancer more enjoyable."
Ryan says, "I decided to come up with Edwin to be there and help him get through his treatments, making him laugh whenever he got poked by needles. As Edwin got better, we didn't have to come up to Chapel Hill as often, so we decided to come up at the holidays and bring a lot of Christmas presents for the kids who have to spend their Christmases in the hospital. I remember coming to Chapel Hill and seeing kids when they first learn they have cancer. It was heart wrenching. But just seeing the smile on their faces after giving them a present, the change in them, it hits you deeply."
The two young men went to companies and asked for donations of items to place in the backpacks such as colored pencils or notebooks. Some companies gave money to help them purchase items. Edwin says, "When I was battling cancer I had to miss a lot of school so we included some educational things like word searches and note cards, or mathematic times tables. But we also put in things like brain teasers and things to pass the time like a deck of cards. I remember during chemotherapy that I was always cold, so we included hoodies and blankets"
Ryan adds, "I've seen kids touring the hospital seeing what was going to happen to them. It was probably the worst days of their lives and for their parents too. At that point in time, if they can receive something to brighten their day, make it less the worst day of their lives, that's what I'm hoping will happen."
Edwin concludes, "We've been coming to Chapel Hill our whole lives and know how bad cancer truly is. If we can make people's time there less hurtful, give them a smile, maybe they won't have to think about their hardships. And maybe the idea will catch on and our project will become much broader with more people to help."
Edwin in the son of UNC Lineberger Board of Visitors members Carolyn and Edwin Burnett. Ryan is the son of Richard and Barbara Lund of Wilmington.

The Bisons enter the regular season coming off a strong exhibition campaign, drawing with Conference USA foe UAB and defeating Trevecca.
Returning for the Bison this season is perennial all-conference performer Garret Pettis, who was named to the preseason all-conference team by a vote of the conference coaches. The Elizabethtown, Pa., native scored in the exhibition match against UAB and stands to move up the Lipscomb all-time career lists in goals (24, second), points (55, third) and shots (143, third).
Pettis is one of six seniors beginning their final seasons at Lipscomb; joining him are Evan McGee, Brent McGee, Ethan Summers, Andrew Chamberlain and Drew Longinotti.
Eleven freshmen join the 2011 squad, with talented newcomers such as Robbie Johnson, Omar Djabi, Ben Gates and Evan Beutler among those expected to contribute right away.
Last season, Georgia State defeated Lipscomb, 2-1, in exhibition play; departed Bison Garrett McLaughlin put home a penalty kick in the 19th minute. Brent McGee made three saves for the Bisons.
Lipscomb and Georgia State last met in the regular season in 2007, with Georgia State prevailing in Nashville by a score of 4-3. All-time, Lipscomb is 0-5 against Georgia State.
The Panthers went 7-7-3 in 2010, and return nine starters. Among these are preseason all-conference goalkeeper Vincent Foermer and leading scorer Evan Scott. Recently, the Panthers were picked to finish 12th in the Colonial Athletic Association by a vote of the league's coaches.
Sunday, the Bisons will hit the road for a match at Memphis, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Tigers Mike Rose Soccer Complex.
Memphis was eighth in C-USA last season, going 5-11-1; they return 10 starters from that squad and boast a strong upper class (three seniors, six juniors). The Tigers return their lead scoring trio of Mark Sherrod, Parker Duncan and Liam Collins (each of whom garnered 10 points apiece) along with starting keeper Jordan Leedle, a native of nearby Brentwood.
Recently, the Tigers were picked to finish ninth in Conference USA by a vote of the league's coaches.
Lipscomb hasn't played the Tigers since 2004, taking a 6-0 loss; all-time, the Bison are 0-5 against Memphis.
Following this weekend, the Bison will travel to High Point, N.C. for a Thursday night tilt with High Point. The Bison will return next Sunday for a 2 p.m. home match with Xavier.

A 20-year-old Burbank man was arrested Monday after police recovered 1,000 steroid pills and 15 vials of liquid steroids from his residence, authorities said.
Police served a search warrant at the home — located in the 3300 block of West Alameda Avenue — and recovered the substances, said Burbank Police Sgt. Darin Ryburn.
The man, identified as Nicholas Sayegh, was arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance. He is being held in lieu of $10,000 bail and is due in court this week.
