Revenge on India's mind as they prepare to face England in 1st Test
Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virender Sehwag played down the notion of looking to get even but revenge is very much on India's mind when they face England in a four-Test series starting in Ahmedabad on Thursday.
Just three months after guiding India to a famous 50-over World Cup victory on home soil last year, Dhoni and his men arrived in England for what proved to be a disastrous tour.
In eight painful weeks, India lurched from one humiliating defeat to another and surrendered the number one Test ranking to the hosts following a 4-0 whitewash.
Wicketkeeper Dhoni, however, believes that "revenge" is a word best avoided in the sporting arena and his view is echoed by explosive opening batsman Sehwag."For us, it's important to win the series. You people (the media) use words like revenge because you have to run shows and write headlines," Sehwag recently said in Delhi.

'This time, we would like to give it back to the Englishmen'
While the senior players steered clear of talking about grudges, Suresh Raina, who was part of the squad that failed to win a single international match on that tour, had no such obligation to play down India's motivation this time.
"I was there in England last year and I feel the pain of losing that series 4-0," the left-handed batsman said upon England's arrival in the country.
"I want to give some of that pain back."
Raina did not make the cut for the first two Tests, losing out to Yuvraj Singh, who was equally as bullish.
"Last year when we toured England, it was a difficult time for us. This time, we would like to give it back to the Englishmen," Yuvraj said last week.
"This is definitely a revenge series for us."

'This is heaven for spinners'
The onus will be placed on India's slow bowlers to exploit England's well-documented weakness against spin and the hosts are expected to request each venue prepare bouncing, turning wickets to assist their cause.
"For a long time I have not seen an off-spinner bowling to a defensive batsman and hitting the rib cage," Dhoni said.
"It's a very painful feeling but you (as hosts) enjoy it... this is heaven for spinners.
"World over, you have different wickets behaving differently. Naturally when you come to the sub-continent, you get turning tracks."
England skipper Alastair Cook was six-weeks old when the tourists last won a Test series in India and their prospects will depend on how they negate the threat posed by off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and left-armer Pragyan Ojha.Ashwin has replaced veteran Harbhajan Singh as India's spin spearhead and has forged a strong partnership with Ojha, the duo sharing 73 wickets in the five Tests they have played together.

Cook will hope to start well with Compton at the top of the order
England's spin frailty was on display when Pakistan thrashed them 3-0 in the United Arab Emirates at the beginning of the year and the 1-1 drawn series in Sri Lanka.
India denied the tourists valuable practice against quality spin by not including a frontline slow bowler in the first warm-up match, an unpopular decision that seemed to underline an eagerness to do whatever it takes to hurt England.
Much to the travelling Barmy Army's delight, England have resolved the text message controversy surrounding Kevin Pietersen and "re-integrated" the batsman, who represents the tourists' main weapon against the home spinners.
Cook will also hope that Nick Compton, expected to make his England debut and be the captain's opening partner following the retirement of Andrew Strauss, can live up to expectations.
Compton, grandson of former England batting great Denis, got some useful runs in the practice matches after a poor start to the tour.
England have two useful spinners in Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar while left-armer Samit Patel has also staked a claim for a spot with some useful all-round contributions.

'I think they are the best equipped to beat India'
Not that India are without problems of their own.
The batting department is going through a transition and it will be the first real Test for the likes of Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara to prove that they can fill the shoes of retired stalwarts Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman.
Openers Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir will look to get over a lean patch while the team will hope that experienced seamer Zaheer Khan, who has a history of injury problems, can remain fit through the series.
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly is among those who expect the four-Test series to be keenly contested.
"It's the only team which has come to India with two quality spinners in Swann and Panesar," Ganguly said."Of all the teams that have come over the last 10-12 years, I think they are the best equipped to beat India. It's going to be a hard tour."

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
|Tetlo Emmen, All American at 800m also organizer of World AIDS Day events
CALIFORNIA—Big West Conference Champion, NCAA West Regional Champion and NCAA All-American. One of the most impressive resumes in the West is owned by one of the calmest and kindest student-athletes on the Track & Field squad, 4th year Tetlo Emmen However, as teammates and opponents have experienced, his gentle demeanor should not be mistaken for the intense fire burning inside; a trait he carries with him on the track and off the track.
Born in Torrance, CA, Emmen was brought up by his mother who has her roots in the South African country of Botswana and a father who is rooted in the potato state of Idaho; a cultural dichotomy he has grappled with and learned to harness. On one hand he holds close to his heart a country with an average life expectancy at birth of 33.87 years (2nd lowest in the world according the latest CIA World Factbook and in the other hand a country with an average life expectancy at birth of 77.71. One culture can be found happy with very little, while the other may only be found happy with a lot. Aspects of both that Emmen has come to terms with.
Visiting Botswana on and off as a child he at one time lived there from the end of Kindergarten through the 3rd grade. Returning to southern California, he would grow up often feeling different. "I always felt different and I wasn't sure why. I had a different perspective. I always thought of myself as just American being born here, but when people would say things I realized I often thought differently." But, not giving it much thought as a kid, as he got older and entered high school he found himself doing a little more searching. "It wasn't just, `oh whatever, to asking myself why?' High school was the first time I felt I had to be one or the other. Black or White. For a while I saw black because society did, and now I go back and forth and I don't consider myself either."
A standout middle distance runner in California he would next find himself traveling just up highway 101 to attend UCSB and compete for the Gauchos. Commenting on his freshman year to a bit of laughter, "I was just hiding out". Then in his sophomore year not only did he break out on the track with a NCAA West Regional Championship title at 800m, but he also became more actively involved with social activism on campus.
Emmen joined the African Awareness Student Organization (AASO), which brings awareness to different issues at UCSB and foster cultural and social ties with all people of African descent. He also joined the Black Pioneers Renaissance Organization (BPRO), which serves as a support system and a platform for the voices of Black Men. They are involved in annual outreach to high school students to get them thinking about college as well as organize Black Women's Appreciation among others.
After serving as Vice President of the AASO his junior year he now finds himself as the Co-President of the organization. One of the group's major undertakings of the year is assisting with today's World AIDS Day event at UCSB, which includes a silent march and a "die-in". Wednesday afternoon saw a Pre-World AIDS day event, which included food tasting from 22 different student organizations. Emmen expanded that this year's goal was to bring awareness to the scope of the epidemic and raise some money for it in doing so. "Its not only an African thing. It's worldwide with over 40 million affected. The idea of the food tasting was to involve many different student groups so that it truly reflected the scope of the issue with the idea that more would get involved on World AIDS Day." He went on to comment that in the past the majority of those who participated were from the Black community and this year they wanted the march to represent all cultures.
Helping promote, organize and coordinate all aspects of the Pre-World AIDS Day food tasting, Emmen and the AASO raised approximately $1700 to host the event in Storke Plaza in front of the University Center and bring together all of the different organizations. Selling tickets to taste each group's food, they raised just under $1000 with 100% of the proceeds going to two different charities, Keep A Child Alive and also the Q Fund for Aids . As for the World AIDS Day silent march today and "die-in", it serves to bring a stronger, symbolic form of awareness to the issue.
He states "basically the idea is to silence ourselves to represent those who are silenced by AIDS throughout the world. We will be passing out fliers with information in silence instead of using bullhorns. This is just a different way to get our message apart. It's subtler, but the people who do read our fliers will understand what we are doing and what it is for rather than cover their ears."
Crediting his motivation in social activism to his mother's heritage from Botswana he comments, "it's a way of feeling connected because I am separated out here. I came to terms with this last time I visited Botswana two summers ago. My family is really poor. Wow. I mean it's the world when you give them a shirt. But, at the same time, you step back and you realize they are not poor. They are not unhappy. I just come from a society that thinks of materialism, materialism and materialism. There are bad things about their lives as there are bad things about our lives here. You do not want to look at your family as victims, it is how they live their life, just as we live ours here."
Emmen went on to expand, "I look to help out the causes that I do because often people are drawn to places they feel they can help. There are those as well who are involved but may not have any connections. For myself, I feel like I owe the people of the world. It is not just helping issues in Botswana because it is hard to look at an issue and say, `oh this just happens in Botswana', because it doesn't, it happens everywhere."
Using this perspective on life he has become one of the hardest working student-athletes. Whether it is repeat 200 meters or organizing a school wide event, he does things effortlessly and with a sense of calm, a trait he attributes to his father.
Emmen explained, "that you get the most done when you are busiest. When you have to get X, Y and Z done, you just get it done. There is a lot of time in the day, there is always time. There are 14-16 hours a day you can work and you just have to be efficient with it…there are people I know who are just as busy involved in groups and working three jobs." It is this ability to see all perspectives and stay calm through all the work that has made Emmen the gracious person he has become.
On how track plays into his life as a social activist, he states, "track is a release for me. I spend the whole day running around through red tape. Then I can work out the frustration and use it as a stress release among other things. It has also helped me with organization in terms of being motivated." A motivation which has led him to set goals of a professional running career and continued social activism.
Wanting to blend both aspects of his life, he stated, "Running and activism can be tied together. By the time I graduate I would like to be top 3 at nationals and then move onto a professional running career. Track can take me around the world and it can be used as a platform for many different types of social activism. I want to expand on my social activism. But, if running doesn't work out I sort of know what I want to do with my life. I see myself in some capacity helping others empower themselves. Things such as AIDS, measles; there are a million things you can do to help."
World AIDS Day events are being conducted throughout the world today and at UCSB they begin at 10am in front of the Arbor. Emmen can be found on the track daily and racing beginning in March 2006 with the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos.

The Deathforge[HH Winner]
Posted: Sun Oct 20, 2013 9:02 am
Somewhere near the edge of the Empire, a pair of swordsmen are on their usual daily patrol along the riverside.
Swordsman #1: 'The past few weeks have been awfully silent, haven't they? We did not have any ork parties scouting around.'
Swordsman #2: 'Yeah, I suppose the prince's raid was successful enough to led them into disarray.'
Swordsman #2: 'Yeah, who's that dwarf paddling desperately?'
Swordsman #1: 'Could it be? Cogni Copperflux! We haven't heard from him months ago!'
Cogni: 'Ey lads, will ye give a soaked dwarf a hand?'
Swordsman #1: 'Sir Copperflux, what happened? We did not receive any news from you since-'
Cogni: 'Aye, since that blasted expedition in Nehekara!'
Swordsman #2: 'What happened?'
Cogni: 'Well lads, I can tell ye but it's quite a frightening tale!'
Cogni: 'So after my last conflict with the undead, I have been lucky enough to find one of my expedition teams whom I thought to be dead!'
Cogni: 'They secured themselves in an ancient ruin, and they found an old tablet which had vital information about the crystal! What are the odds?'
Cogni: 'I did not understand it fully, but I realized that it had a device designed to interact with the crytal I've found!'
Cogni: 'I was risky activating the mechanism but it worked! It was then when things turned ugly.'
Spell-wraith Al-Azim: 'I had enough of your meddling in my kingdom, you insolent whelp! Hand over the crystal and I may grant you a swift death!'
Cogni: 'Of course I wouldn't give it without a fight!'
Undead Turn 1
'The bloody skeletons had the element of surprise and assaulted us, tearing down our barricade and killing a dwarf.'
Dwarves Turn 1
'But we retaliated fast, slowly grinding away their numbers!'
'The machine slowly powered up in the meanwhile.'
'With unbroken fervor, they began to overpower some of us!'
'Even that twisted spirit entered the fray and gutted one of our lads.'
Dwarves Turn 2
'I decided to even the scales with explosives!'
'The results were satisfying as always!'
'Me and my lads continued to bash those rattlebone fiends and almost got rid of all of their warriors.'
'The machine kept on working.'
Undead Turn 3
Al-Azim: 'I grow tired of this!'
'The spirit conjured a terrifying monster from the fallen skeletons!'
'It began to tear my men apart with great ferocity.'
'Others fell to a barrage of arrows.'
Dwarves Turn 3
'We retreated back to the device, trying to pick off a few more of their numbers but without avail.'
Undead Turn 4
'We were surrounded.'
'The last of my troops got murdered, while the wraith went for my head! Luckily, I had my pan with me to defend.'
'It was then when I realized that this might be the end of me! But Cogni's no coward! "I'll not let you get the crystal!", I shouted, ready to fight.'
Al-Azim: 'Pitiful! You have no idea what powers you are tampering with!'
'It was then the device gave a final click.'
Al-Azim: 'Fool! What have you done!'
'The ground began to tremble, and eerie lights shot up from the sand...'
'... and from under, a dragon has emerged! But it was huge, bigger than Gallikronn!'
'For a moment I was on the massive creature, but quickly tumbled down from it! It was then that I noticed something was wrong with the beast: it looked old, and dessicated, like a dried-out husk!'
Aetheros: 'AFTER EIGHT THOUSAND YEARS, I LIVE TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN!'
'Sparks jolted out of its tormented frame as it spread its wings since an eternity! I was horrified; I began to think that using the device was not a wise decision after all.'
Al-Azim: 'Magnificent! Now, bow before me wyrm, for all the undead of Nehekara obey me!'
Aetheros: 'OBEY? YOU COMMAND ME TO OBEY?'
Aetheros: 'AETHEROS OBEYS NONE!'
'The spectre had angered the dragon who, in a fit of rage crushed the bone creature with one bite.'
'It then unleashed a breath of what appeared like a thousand thunderbolts at the wraith, who decided it's better to leave and let his minions take the hit.'
'The beast then turned to me.'
Aetheros: 'AS FOR YOU, PUNY CREATURE...'
Aetheros: 'AS MY FINAL ACT OF MERCY, I WILL LET YOU LIVE TO TELL THE TALE OF MY RETURN.'
Aetheros: 'EIGHT THOUSAND YEARS AGO, THE PEOPLE OF THIS LAND HAVE BETRAYED ME! NOW, THEIR DESCENDANTS SHALL SUFFER FOR THEIR TREACHERY! LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT AETHEROS SOARS THE SKIES OF NORTHEROS ONCE AGAIN; ONLY TO COWER AND TREMBLE AS I UNLEASH MY RIGHTEOUS FURY UPON THEM! THE STORM OF RECKONING HAS COME!'
'Then it left. I was mortified, but what could I do? I tried me best to find my way back!'
Swordsman #1: 'That is quite a terrifying tale, sir Copperflux. We shall escort to Capitol City at once!'
Cogni: 'Thank ye lads, but let's make haste! Ever since I can't help but feel that the skies are darkening even as we speak.'

Hey, the real refs are coming back! Great news. Now it's time for the real Fantasource to come back.
Ouch, another rough week for the picks. 6-8 last week is unacceptable (I'm not counting that Packers "loss"). Underdogs rolled big in Week 3 covering 12 of 16 games against the spread (winning 10 games straight up). But this week? This week I'm going back to the favorites. When I looked over the card there aren't too many dogs that look appetizing. Buffalo? Tennessee? Oakland? Nothing sticks out. I like the Vikings, Rams and Redskins to cover but other than that it's chalk city. Oh, and the bye weeks start this week: Steelers and Colts have the week off, adjust your fantasy lineups accordingly.
Stay in the loop. I usually tweet out some picks on Sunday morning, so follow me on Twitter (@Fantasource) to get the latest.
Let's get back on track with some winners this week…
Last Week: 6-9
Season Record: 12-17-1
New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills (+4, O/U 51 1/2)
Pats are coming into this one after 2 tough losses at the buzzer. Two weeks ago they missed a 42 yard field goal and lost by two points in a huge upset to the Cardinals, and then last Sunday night they got beat by one point on a 27 yard Ravens field goal as time expired. Is Tom Brady going to lose 3 in a row? No way.
But this line is only 4? Kinda makes me pause for a second. But I'm still going with the Patriots. Buffalo lost RB CJ Spiller, so this week they turn to (previous #1 RB) Fred Jackson, who is hoping to come back after missing 2 games with a knee injury. The Bills are coming in at 2-1, but the wins are against Cleveland and Kansas City, not exactly power teams.
I'm laying the points and say the Patriots get revenge for last years 34-31 loss in Buffalo.
Pick: Patriots -4
Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions (-7, O/U 45.5)
Lions QB Matt Stafford is injured, and is questionable for the game on Sunday. So, I had a hard time finding a line on this game when I wrote this column. But I found a site (covers.com) showing a line of Lions -7 (Las Vegas Hilton also posted Lions -7) so I'll use that.
Even with Stafford playing I like the Vikings. I'll take the seven points, I think Minnesota is a better team. Christian Ponder, Percy Harvin and Adrian Petersen should be able to move the ball all game on the Lions defense. Like Public Enemy says, "don't believe the hype" about the Lions D. They gave up 44 points to Tennessee? And they want me to lay 7 points? No thanks.
I think the Vikings could win this outright, and I'll take the 7 points and say thank you.
Pick: Vikings +7
Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons (-7, O/U 48 1/2)
This is a matchup of the hot (Falcons 3-0 straight up and ATS), and the not (Carolina 1-2, got blown out 36-7 last week at home against the Giants).
Let's cut to the chase, the Giants put up 405 yards of offense last week against the Carolina defense. What will Matty Ice, Julio Jones, Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez and the Falcons offense do to them?
I like the Falcons at -7 or lower, laying more than that and you are opening yourself up for a potential backdoor cover. I think the Falcons will put up 30+ points and continue to roll with a big win at home.
Pick: Falcons -7
San Francisco 49ers at New York Jets (+4, O/U 40 1/2)
West coast team going east to play the 1pm EST Sunday game. Not a good spot to be in for San Francisco, but the counter is to take a Jets team that is struggling to score points, and just lost their best defensive back, Darrelle Revis. His replacement? Running back Joe McKnight. And McKnight is not happy about it, "It's been a while since I played cornerback, maybe if I'd played cornerback in college four years. Me playing cornerback in high school does not help right now." McKnight sure seems confident. Something tells me he will be seeing alot of passes coming his way.
49ers are coming off an ugly road loss at Minnesota, and I think they will come in focused for this one. I think this comes down to the 49ers offense being able to move the ball against the depleted Jets defense. And last week against a below average Miami defense Jets QB Mark Sanchez had a QB rating of 58. Do you think he will do any better against the 49ers?
Pick: 49ers -4
San Diego Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs (PK, O/U 45)
We're going down to Kansas City for the "fishy line of the week". Chargers in a pick 'em?
If Kansas City is going to win this game it's going to be through the air. The Chiefs have rolled up some staggering rushing number this year, 233 yards last week for Jamaal Charles, and they are leading the league by averaging 191 rushing yards PER GAME. Wow. But the Chargers are shutting down the run so far, only surrendering 67 yards per game this season.
KC beat the Saints last week, but that's not a big deal anymore, and a more important stat was the Chiefs not getting a touchdown in four trips into the the Red Zone in Week 3. Gotta get into the endzone if you're gonna beat the Chargers, KC.
I'm taking the Chargers to win this divisional battle on the road.
Pick: Chargers PK
Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans (-12, O/U 45)
Laying 12 points may not be enough in this one. The Texans are on a mission.
Houston comes in at 3-0 (straight up, and against the spread) with the #2 defense in the league (2nd in total yards, 2nd in points per game) and an offense that it putting up 30 points per game.
Tennessee is struggling, they've been outgained by an average of 152 yards per game, they're giving up 317 passing yards per game. That's not good.
Even getting 12 points I can't take Tennessee, I don't see how they hang in this game. The Texans are at home and should win this by 20.
Pick: Texans -12
Seattle Seahawks at St. Louis Rams (+2 1/2;, O/U 38 1/2)
Seattle is coming in off of that huuuuuuuge Monday Night "win" over Green Bay. They left it all on the field, and that has to be taken into account for this game. We all saw how good that Seattle defense is when they shut down the Packers high powered offense. St. Louis doesn't have anything close to that in terms of offensive potential, but they do have a pretty good defense.
I think this will be a low scoring game, and I'll take the home team getting points to win against a Seattle team that has to be feeling the effects of that Monday Night thriller.
Pick: Rams +2 1/2;
Miami Dolphins at Arizona Cardinals (-6, O/U 39)
Fact: The Cardinals defense is for real. And that will be the difference in this game.
Miami may be without Reggie Bush (bad news) who left Week 3 with a knee injury but they will still have Ryan Tannehill (even worse news). Tannehill is in for a long day. His 58.3 QB rating is the lowest in the league for starting QBs.
I'm taking the Cardinals in this one strictly because of their defense, which has only surrendered 30 points all season. I know I'm asking alot of Kevin Kolb, but he has played pretty well since taking over the starting job late in Week 1.
Kevin, don't disappoint me.
Pick: Cardinals -6
Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos(-6 1/2;, O/U 47 1/2)
Oakland confuses me. I'm still not sure what to make of the Raiders. They had an ugly loss in Week 1 at home vs. San Diego. Even uglier loss on the road at Miami in Week 2, then they come back in Week 3 and get a huge win at home over Pittsburgh? Now they head to Denver.
Peyton Manning has been ok this season, but not great. Oakland has a pretty bad pass defense and I think that will be the deciding factor. Peyton and the Broncos should bounce back at home with a win, and a cover, over the Raiders.
I wouldn't lay more than a touchdown, but at -6 1/2; I like Denver.
Pick: Broncos -6 1/2
Cincinnati Bengals at Jacksonville Jaguars (+2, O/U 42 1/2)
This line seems off. I know both teams have terrible defenses (both are giving up over 400 yards per game) but the Bengals offense is potent, 390 yards per game, almost 30 points per game and they are going up against one of the league's worst defenses?
I hear you yelling, "but Fantasource the Bengals defense stinks, too!" Yes, that is correct. But the Jags offense isn't that great. Maurice Jones-Drew is good, but other than that, they don't have much. Blaine Gabbert? No thanks.
I'll take my chances with Cincinnati's better offense and hope that they can outscore the Jags on the road by a field goal or more.
Pick: Bengals -2
New Orleans Saints at Green Bay Packers(-7 1/2, O/U 54)
The Saints are toast. This season is a wash for them. 0-3 and looking horrible on defense. Now they travel to Green Bay and have to stop Aaron Rogers?
Green Bay is coming off that controversial (understatement of the year) loss at Seattle and I think they will rebound big here against the Saints.
At some point the Saints will just pack it in and wait for Sean Payton to get back next year because they just aren't getting it done with their replacement coaches in 2012.
The Packers will air it out against one of the worst pass defenses in the league, and the Saints may try to counter with alot of Brees but Green Bay has a pretty good pass defense, and they are leading the league by giving up only 125 yards passing per game.
I'll lay the touchdown and a half with Green Bay at home.
Pick: Packers -7 1/2
Washington Redskins at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-2 1/2, O/U 47 1/2)
Robert Griffin v. Josh Freeman? I'm going with RGIII in this one. Yes, both defenses are very, very bad against the pass (the bottom two teams in the league in terms of passing yards per game) so I'll put my money on the wildcard getting some points. There's something about Griffin, kinda make me think he can pull this one out on his own.
I don't have alot of confidence in this pick, but I'm not putting my money on Josh Freeman, so I'll take the Skins and RGIII plus the points on the road.
Pick: Redskins +2 1/2
New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles(-2, O/U 46 1/2)
Ok, Giants are getting points? Did you watch that Eagles game last week? They went to Arizona and got manhandled all game long by the Cardinals, then they come back to the east coast and they start the week with a QB controversy. Eagles head coach Andy Reid said "Mike Vick is my QB, for now." Wow, don't stick your neck out so much, Andy.
In Week 3 the Giants went down to Carolina and beat a (not so great) Panthers team 26-7, and they've had 10 days to prepare for this one. And you're giving me the Giants plus points?
Both teams are 2-1 and this is a classic NFC East rivalry game. The Eagles defense is very, very good but the Mike Vick turnovers are what is killing them.
All that being said, I like the Eagles this week. If Vick can limit his turnovers and the Eagles can get Shady McCoy into the mix with the run then Philly should be able to stay in 1st place in the NFC East (at least for this week).
Plus, everyone and their mother will be betting the Giants, so I'm going the other way.
Pick: Eagles -2
Chicago Bears at Dallas Cowboys(-3 1/2, O/U 41 1/2)
"Right now we're just learning the offense. Everyone's getting comfortable. We're finding our identity." When your starting QB says this after Week 3, does it give you confidence?
That's what Jay Cutler said last week. And I'm supposed to put money on him, playing on the road? No way. I'm going with the Cowboys in this one.
It's going to be a defensive battle, with two very good pass defenses matching up. I think DeMarco Murray is the difference in this one, the Cowboys need to get him the ball and let him move the chains like he did in Week 1 against the Giants. Bears RB Matt Forte is still hobbled. He should play, but I don't expect him to be anywhere near 100%.
I think this one will be a low scoring game, but I like Dallas to get a win and cover at home on Monday Night.
Pick: Cowboys -3 1/2

Primary Source of the Month
Women on the home front faced many challenges during the Revolutionary War. With husbands and fathers off to war, many women suddenly became responsible for the farms and plantations on which they lived. They had to manage slaves, perform farm chores, and conduct business on top of taking care of the children and the household. Some also took on extra tasks to help the armies, including bringing food to soldiers, sewing uniforms, and rolling bandages.
This linen handkerchief was crafted in England around 1790. The border is made up of idealized pictures and short poems describing the experiences of American women on the home front during the Revolutionary War. The women are optimistic about the new challenges they are facing and each task is a "labor of love." The center has a poem that reads: "Now independent, firm and free, by thirteen stripes distinguish'd, we unite our hearts, and join our hands. Our infant-states shall distant lands inform; that order, commerce, wealth, contentment, industry, and health, can only flourish in that soil, where, freedom like a son doth smile, and will reward the lab'rer's toil. Call'd from our wives, our children dear, by wars stern voice and fate severe, long have we toil'd; nor toil'd in vain, that Jewel Liberty to gain."
This lesson was written by Marianne Esposito, Key West, FL, and Kim O'Neil, Liverpoole, NY.

A new class of competitors will force Communications Service Providers (CSPs) to find new strategies for long-term competitiveness. This will demand significant investment. Financing this investment requires CSPs to transform their cost base and change how they allocate resources. Accenture's Fuel for Growth framework can help CSPs to find, achieve and sustain long-term competitiveness.
Driving this revenue risk are Over-The-Top (OTT) providers delivering services over IP networks belonging to others. Liberated from network investments, they use just 7% of their revenue on capital expenditure while CSPs will be pushed to 18%. That push comes primarily from the pressures of spiralling video usage; it's expected to account for 69% of mobile data traffic by 2019. Meanwhile, familiar names in OTT (Google, Amazon, Facebook) are adding capabilities to become communications providers in their own right.
Communications Service Providers are still in the enviable position of owning the networks on which everyone's growth relies, and they have access to the "eyeballs" of millions of customers. Our Fuel for Growth framework is tailored to deliver long-term competitiveness for CSPs.

James R. Browning, the rural Montana native who rose to head the powerful U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and unified its diverse judges in campaigns to enlarge the bench and protect the sprawling circuit from division, has died. He was 93.
Browning died Saturday at a Marin County hospital, the court said in a Monday night announcement. The cause was not given.
Browning was the last 9th Circuit judge appointed by
, whom he met on Inauguration Day 1961, when, as clerk of the
, he held the Bible as the chief justice swore the youngest chief executive into office.
A force on the 9th Circuit for more than half a century, Browning's greatest contribution, in his own estimation and that of others, was protecting the vast circuit spanning nine states and two Pacific territories from being split into two or three courts, diminishing its authority to decide most laws for one-fifth of the nation.
Many in Congress had come to believe the Western appeals court had grown too large to function efficiently. In the mid-1970s, when lawmakers sought to consider splitting up the circuit while addressing the backlogged court's plea for more judges, Browning lobbied what were then 12 fellow judges on the appeals bench to send a unified call to Congress to provide the new judges first and consider the contentious division proposal later.
"Judge Browning quickly realized that if the court was to have any hope of getting the judges it so badly needed, the judgeship requests would have to be separated from issues of circuit division," recalled Arthur Hellman, a
law professor and 9th Circuit historian.
"He kept the circuit together in the face of strong political pressures to divide it. He did this with skill and charm and a tremendous ability to work with people," Hellman said.
Testament to Browning's talent for low-key persuasion, Browning got all 18 senators from the 9th Circuit states, both
, to join in the appeal for expanding the bench quickly. The strategy succeeded, and the court was given 10 new judgeships that were filled by
, imprinting the bench with the liberal image it still retains for many.
The circuit split idea failed before several Congresses and was eventually abandoned in the 1980s, but not before Browning responded to the lawmakers' call for reform of and innovation on the giant court.
"While we are always saddened by the loss of a valued colleague, the passing of Judge Browning truly marks the end of an era for the 9th Circuit," Chief Judge Alex Kozinski said. "On the bench, Judge Browning was a distinguished jurist who cared deeply about achieving justice. In judicial governance, he was an innovative administrator, who cajoled the court into the computer age. As importantly, perhaps, he was a genuinely warm and caring human being, famous for the twinkle in his eye, who brightened the lives of everyone around him."
The court's stately headquarters in San Francisco was renamed for Browning in 2005 after its renovation, a tribute Kozinski described as a rightful honoring of the judge who served the court for more than 50 years, including 12 as its chief judge from 1976 to 1988.
During his tenure as chief judge from 1976 to 1988, Browning introduced an automated docketing system, consolidated related issues and assigned them to the same judges to create expert panels. He also devised the "limited en banc" review, a sitting of 11 judges for cases involving particularly important questions of law over which the three-judge panels were split, in conflict with other circuit courts' interpretations or thought to be unrepresentative of the court majority. The 9th Circuit was the first to gather en banc without all active judges taking part.
Bringing harmony to the often polarized court was a priority for the even-tempered Browning, he told The Times in an interview at the end of his stint as head of the 9th Circuit.
"A chief judge tends to take a neutral point of view," Browning said. "I have not cast a vote one way or another to keep the peace, but this 12 years has convinced me that the court can do its best work if it works in harmony, and I will continue to work for that, no matter what. There isn't any position or any issue that seems to me of comparable importance."
The longer he served on the bench, he said, the more "you see there is ground upon which everybody really can walk, and the extremes become less interesting, or necessary."
At the end of Browning's term as chief judge, former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren E. Burger praised his 9th Circuit colleague as "a court administrator combining the skills of Soviet leader
and symphony conductor
Born Oct. 1, 1918, in tiny Belt, Mont., Browning graduated first in his class from Montana University School of Law in 1941. He married his high school sweetheart, Marie Rose Chapell, then worked for the
in Denver before serving as a lieutenant in the
. He returned to the Justice Department after his discharge in 1946 and receipt of a Bronze Star, holding antitrust and civil division positions in Seattle and
In his role as executive assistant to the attorney general, Browning played a key role in filing the government's brief in the historic Brown vs. Board of Education case that led to school desegregation.
Browning worked in private practice for five years before serving as clerk of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1958 until his nomination to the 9th Circuit by Kennedy in 1961.
Considered an old-school liberal, Browning was soon penning landmark opinions on what was in his first years a circuit court of only nine active judges. His decision in Brubaker vs. Dickson in 1962 was the first at the appeals level to set aside a criminal conviction because of the ineffectiveness of defense counsel.
In Lessig vs. Tidewater Oil Co. in 1964, Browning ruled that an agreement requiring exclusive collaboration between an oil company and a service station operator could violate antitrust law. He wrote a number of important opinions on public access to the courts and a key 1979 ruling that the continuous residence requirement for aliens seeking citizenship does not prohibit brief departures from the country. In 1985, he struck down a Washington state law requiring minor party candidates to get 1% or more of a primary vote to get on the general election ballot.
In one of his last rulings before taking the semi-retired senior status in 2001, Browning deemed unconstitutional the use of an electric stun belt to deter a defendant's outbursts in the courtroom, writing that the threat of a 50,000-volt shock interfered with a defendant's right to meaningfully participate in his defense.
Browning is survived by his wife of 70 years, Marie Rose, his daughter, Jeanne Sommer, and three grandchildren.

On July 29th Orly writes: Taitz v Colvin was appealed to the 4th Circuit
However the lower court ruled on May 13, 2014 and the time for appeal is 60 days (FRAP Rule 4(a)(1)(B)(ii)). Instead of filing the appeal, Orly decided to file a foolish motion with the lower court.
As an attorney, plaintiff would have known that she was entitled to appeal this Court's ruling if she disagreed with it. To my knowledge, she did not do so. Instead, she has filed several post-ruling motions. See ECF 38, ECF 40.
Presently pending is plaintiff's motion to reopen this case, and for the Court to recuse and to transfer the case to another judge on the ground of actual conflict of interest. See ECF 43. The motion is filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 455 and F.R. Civ. P. 60 (b)(2) and 60 (b)(6).
There is no evidence on Pacer that the case was filed timely with the 4th Circuit. Also Rule 4(a)(4)(A) does not apply:
(4) Effect of a Motion on a Notice of Appeal.
(A) If a party timely files in the district court any of the following motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the time to file an appeal runs for all parties from the entry of the order disposing of the last such remaining motion:
(vi) for relief under Rule 60 if the motion is filed no later than 28 days after the judgment is entered.
Sincethe motion with the lower court, which was denied, was filed on July 21, well outside the 28 day limit.
07/21/2014 43 MOTION to Reopen Case; Motion for recusal; Motion to transfer case; Second Motion for reconsideration by Orly Taitz (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit 1, # 2 Exhibit 2)(jf2, Deputy Clerk) (Entered: 07/22/2014)
Perhaps Orly wants to appeal the order denying motion 43? That would be rather entertaining. Never a boring moment with Orly fumbling her way through the rules of the court.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Beverly Hills police said an arrest warrant has been issued for actress Lindsay Lohan that stems from her 2007 conviction for drunken driving.
The $50,000 warrant was issued by the Beverly Hills Superior Court, police said in a statement late on Friday.
Officials declined to state the reason for the warrant. But celebrity website TMZ.com said an alcohol education program in which Lohan is enrolled told the court that she was not in compliance with the terms of her probation.
"It is our hope that Ms. Lohan will surrender herself so that this matter can be resolved in a timely manner," Beverly Hills Police Lieutenant Mark Rosen said in a statement.
A court hearing was scheduled on Monday morning, and police said they were "not actively trying to serve the warrant."
Lohan, 22, spent 84 minutes behind bars in November 2007 for a drunken driving and cocaine possession conviction. She had been arrested the previous May after wrecking her car in Beverly Hills and again in July following a car chase in the Los Angeles beach community of Santa Monica.
Lohan's attorney and publicist did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
In a statement to the TV show "Extra," attorney Shawn Chapman Holley said Lohan "has been in compliance with all the terms and conditions of her probation and all orders of the Court.
"The warrant issued on Friday was, in our view, born out of a misunderstanding which I am confident I can clear up next week," he said.
The actress shot to fame in Disney's 1998 remake of "The Parent Trap," in which she played the part of identical twins. But she has not starred in a feature film since the 2007 box office flop "I Know Who Killed Me."

When my program runs, the execution window closes immediately. What is wrong? How do I hold it open/pause it?
Nothing is wrong - that is exactly what your program has been designed to do - execute, then exit.
When newcomers ask the question above, they are almost always told to use one of the following commands:
getch(); //or system("pause");
Both of the commands above are platform specific solutions, and do not conform to ANSI standards. They use components that are found on certain architectures, but not others. It is preferable to use a solution that does conform to standards, and uses accepted C++ methods.
One such method that is also often recommended is using:
This solution will indeed pause for user input - as long as no characters are currently in the stream. As most applications will have asked for input several times, it is likely that there will be at least one character in the stream (often a newline) that will be captured by the cin.get() method, and the application will continue on past.
There are many ways to do it and remain standards compliant. I will not reinvent the wheel, but will simply post one example already submitted by a member of this site - Xing (hope you don't mind me posting this).
This simple snippet is as follows:
#include <iostream> #include <limits> int main() { // Rest of the code //Clean the stream and ask for input std::cin.ignore ( std::numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max(), '\n' ); std::cin.get(); return 0; }
The original submission can be found here:
This method is standards compliant, and will hold the command window open without invoking any executables that may or may not be present.
Of course, you can always run the program from the command line.

Must See Documentary – "Jobriath A.D."
Photos by G.
On July 28, 2012 as part of the Newfest Film Festival, "Jobriath A.D." made its official New York premiere. For all fans of music, and especially for fans of Glam Rock, this is a documentary that is not to be missed. The story of singer Jobriath might just be one of the greatest rock and roll mysteries of all time.
Towards the end of the 1960s, the musically gifted and extremely flamboyant singer Jobriath Salisbury made a splash in the music world starring in a stage production of "Hair." This lead to getting 'discovered' by uber-producer Jerry Brandt. With an unprecedented amount of publicity, Jobriath was destined to become rock and roll's next superstar. He certainly had the talent, he certainly had the look and he certainly had the promotion. Even though the world accepted the androgyny of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust persona, the world was obviously not ready for an openly gay and in-your-face singer. As a result, Jobriath's career tanked.
Jobriath was reduced to playing piano bars and prostitution to make ends meet until his premature death at age 36 from AIDS. Without Jobriath there would be no Lady Gaga. Without Jobriath, there would be no Morrissey. With amazing archival footage and interviews with many of Jobriath's associates and influences, "Jobriath A.D." remembers the life and times of an extremely talented singer who has tragically been forgotten by the world.
After the screening, "Jobriath A.D." film maker Kieran Turner took questions from the audience. One of the burning questions was "why isn't there any interview footage of Morrissey?" For those who do not know, Morrissey bought the rights to Jobriath's catalog and because of Moz, his music is available to be heard once again. Unfortunately, Morrissey refused to be interviewed despite many requests. "Jobriath A.D." has been receiving positive reviews from festivals across the globe and finally in 2012, Jobriath is getting his long overdue moment in the sun.
Gail said,
Jobriath AD is a fascianting and deeply moving film. Don't miss it!

New Moon movie: appropriate for what age?
Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2009 11:49 pm
I definitely agree. I would not want someone under the age of 12 or 13 watching the movies, or reading the books, as they contain themes too mature for those not yet in their teenage years, particularly Breaking Dawn, but the others as well. Also some parts of the movie could be rather frightening to a younger audience.xhopeonaropex wrote: I think the rating was very appropriate to be PG 13. I wouldn't want my 10 yr old cousin to watch this at all, let alone read the books. I just told my 13 yr old cousin the other day that it's ok for her to start reading the books even though I'm still a bit hesitant about it. I don't want her to be exposed to that much emotion yet while she is still just 13. But the movie was great and I appreciate how much similar to the book it was aside of some minor changes. But all in all it was great. I apprecaite Summit's work and the director's cooperation with Stephenie to make this so much similar to the book. :]

Wally Shropshire of Blythe and famed movie director Cecil B. DeMille of Hollywood share a lot more in common than just calling California home.
They both are epic creators — gathering together casts of thousands to attract millions: Wally even more so than the late Cecil.
Shropshire has been orchestrating — with a supporting production ensemble of hundreds — a cast of trillions that saved millions from a horde of lurking evildoers. Wally's legacy over the past 38 years would make Hollywood proud. However, Wally's work will never get him invited to Oscar night, but there are thousands of cotton growers who would be more than willing to dole out statues by the truckloads for the accomplishments of the band Wally leads.
Former California Department of Food and Agriculture director Jack Parnell called the epic Wally has directed since 1974 "The Greatest Story Never Told."
Western Farm Press and the Cotton Foundation are telling the story this year with its Far West High Cotton Award for 2006. Rather than honor a farm family for producing cotton with a commitment to environmental stewardship, this year's Far West High Cotton award goes down a different path. The honor goes to the California Cotton Pest Control Board or as it is better known, "The California Pink Bollworm program," and its chairman Shropshire is accepting the High Cotton Award at this year's Beltwide Cotton Conferences in San Antonio, Texas.
Why? The answer is simple. It is undoubtedly the world's most successful and longest running area wide integrated biological pest control program, and the program with a current budget of $5.5 million has been funded virtually with 100 percent grower funds almost from its inception nearly four decades ago.
It is a program that has negated the use of millions of pounds of pesticides. The California San Joaquin Valley pink bollworm exclusion program is an environmental benchmark for the ages.
There have been at least 38 million acres of some of the highest quality cotton produced in the world in California's San Joaquin Valley since growers banded together and opened their checkbooks to keep the pink bollworm — the world's most destructive cotton pest — out of the San Joaquin. Using a conservative 2.5-bale average, this acreage represents roughly 100 million bales of cotton.
Beat expectations
And Wally's entourage has succeeded longer than anyone imagined in the beginning, using an integrated pest control approach, relying on trapping, sterile release, crop residue destruction, and pheromone confusion technology to keep PBW infestations below economic impact levels for decades.
Since 1968, at last 20 trillion irradiated, sterile pink bollworm moths have been aerially distributed over the San Joaquin for 38 years this to keep PBW at bay.
"Bottom line is that the California cotton industry would not be here today without the pink bollworm program," said Earl Williams, president of the California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association. Williams has logged 40 years in the California cotton industry and added, "We would have run out of options a long time ago and likely would be where the Imperial Valley and other desert cotton growing areas are today had growers not formed the cotton pest control board and funded out of their own pockets the pink bollworm program."
In 1977 there were 140,000 acres of cotton and 12 cotton gins in Imperial Valley. Today there is one gin and less than 12,000 acres, and the pink bollworm is largely responsible for that.
At the height of the pink bollworm infestation, desert cotton producers were spending annually an average of $125 per acre in Palo Verde Valley and $175 per acre in Imperial Valley trying to control pink bollworm. It was not uncommon at the height of the pink bollworm problems for a grower to spend $300 per acre on pesticide sprays.
Not one SJV cotton producer has spent a single dime to apply a pesticide to control PBW. It costs SJV producers about $2 per bale or about $5 per acre annually for that rare privilege. At four or five bales, it is still a bargain at $8 to $10 per acre.
Mid-'60s problem
PBW became a major problem for Arizona and Southern California cotton producers in the mid-1960s. Jack Stone, Stratford, Calif., cotton producer, like Shropshire, is one of the two original board members still serving, recalled a group of SJV producers going to Arizona and Southern California to see first hand what type of threat they were facing.
Less than 300 miles separate Blythe, Calif., where the PBW was wreaking havoc at that time and Bakersfield, Calif., where there were no pink bollworms. Growers and researchers were convinced it would only be a matter of time before PBW would reach the San Joaquin without an area wide exclusion effort, recalled Stone.
"We realized early on that it would jeopardize our livelihoods, and we decided to form the cotton pest control board to develop a plan to address the problem," said Stone. The producers went to the legislature to get the authority to levy an assessment to support the use of sterile insects to overwhelm native populations.
Surprisingly, it was not a novel idea 40 years ago. It had been used since 1953 to control screwworm, an insect that feeds only on the living tissue of warm-blooded animals. It was a major problem for American livestock.
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) entomologist used the technique first to eradicate screwworm in the Southeast and then the program was expanded to eventually eradicate the screwworm from the entire United States, Mexico and most of Central America.
Screwworm eradication from the U.S. began in 1962 under the direction of ARS labs in Kerrville and in Mission, Texas. Shropshire said it was from the work at Mission that the California sterile release pink bollworm program had its beginning.
Few objections
"The amazing thing to me back then and still today, is how very few cotton growers objected to the bale assessment we used to start and maintain the program," said Stone. "Growers have always willingly paid it and it has been a tremendously successful program over the years. It has exceeded my expectations by far.
"I am almost certain that the pink bollworm program is why we are still growing cotton in the San Joaquin Valley today," said Stone.
Bill Tracy, partner in the family-owned Buttonwillow Land and Cattle Co. in Kern County, was introduced to the idea of releasing sterile moths to control native pests when he returned to the farm after Army Reserve active duty in the late 1960s.
Informational meetings were being conducted in the valley at that time and "you can imagine the initial reaction of pre-bio engineering farmers when state bureaucrats (from the California Department of Food and Agriculture) were suggesting releasing the most devastating cotton critter in the world over the San Joaquin Valley." It took some convincing that there would be no non-sterile moths inadvertently released as part of the sterile drops.
Fortunately, said Tracy, Shropshire was at those early meetings telling SJV growers, "Gentlemen, the Palo Verde Valley is already infested, and I'd give a million dollars to be in your shoes with the opportunity to prevent the pink bollworm from getting into your valley."
In 1967 the state of California paid to spray every acre of cotton in the Palo Verde Valley 13 times with Sevin to prevent the pink bollworm from getting into the desert valley, recalled Shropshire. And the state even mandated that cotton trailers crossing into California from Arizona across the Colorado River had to be fumigated before going to the gins on the California side. Attempts to keep pink bollworm on the Arizona side of the river failed and desert cotton growers have had to live with the pinkie ever since.
'We were naive'
"We were naive to think the pinkie would not cross the Colorado," he said.
"There was no question in my mind had we not had the sterile program all these years, we would have a hellacious pinkie problem in the San Joaquin today," said Shropshire.
Jeff Hildebrand of Bakersfield, Calif., recently went off the cotton pest control board after having served since 1984. His family has farmed in California since 1937.
"The pink bollworm program is one of the least known, most environmentally sound pest control programs in the country. It has saved California growers millions of dollars while costing them next to nothing. Just the environmental significance of the amount of pesticides it has saved growers is staggering," said Hildebrand.
One of the key people in the success of the program has been USDA entomologist Bob Staten who has been involved with the program since 1970. He has been an adviser to the board and has conducted numerous PBW research projects both in the San Joaquin and in the desert valleys.
"The success of this program is huge, even if you just look at what hasn't happened in the SJV. In the history of the program, there has only been one incidence of a measurable infestation in the SJV. (Buttonwillow). No grower in the SJV has ever had to apply pesticides for pink bollworm control," said Staten. CDFA brought that Buttonwillow infestation under control.
CDFA has managed the program since its inception. Bob Roberson was branch chief of the CDFA Integrated Pest Control branch and worked with the program from 1977 until he retired in 2000.
Amazing vision
"It was amazing how visionary the board was in seeing the importance of keeping pink bollworm out of the valley — how growers and ginners like Wally and Jack and others had the vision to see what was needed," said Roberson.
"And these men followed the direction of an outstanding group of scientists like Bob Staten, Fred Stewart and Tom Miller. Dr. James Brazil was another entomologist who was a key part of the program, especially when the board got involved in eradicating the boll weevil in Arizona and from Southern California," said Roberson.
Working with the cotton pest control board and these scientists "was the highlight of my career," said the retired CDFA administrator.
Jim Rudig is program supervisor for the program. He began his CDFA career as a temporary employee working on the new technology of releasing sterile PBW moths to overwhelm any native populations in 1967. When a sterile moth mates with a native, there is no offspring and it breaks the generation cycle.
"Everything we did in the beginning was new technology and it was not very sophisticated," said Rudig. One of the challenges initially was find how to effectively release the sterile PBW moths.
"In the screwworm program, they irradiated and released larvae. They found you could not do that with pink bollworm. We had to release the moths," recalled Rudig.
The first releases were done by hand with moths inserted into toilet paper tubes stuffed with excelsior — "bunny grass. Yea, the stuff you find in Easter baskets. I remember going to the drug store in Bakersfield and buying all the bunny grass in the store to stuff in toilet paper tubes. We would walk the cotton fields putting out the moths in those paper tubes," said Rudig.
Aerial release
That quickly gave way to the successful development of aerial release equipment to blanket the valley weekly with sterile PBW moths during the growing season.
"In the beginning it amazed me how careful the members of the cotton pest control board were to protect the cotton industry. In the 60s, most of the leaders were young men yet they have always exhibited a vision into the future for their industry," said Rudig.
Rudig brings a unique perspective to the program because interspersed with his work on the PBW program have been stints eradicating Medfly infestations from urban areas.
"It has been extremely gratifying to work on the pink bollworm program because of my experience in using pesticides to eradicate Medfly," he said.
"I am not against the use of pesticides. They are important to control insect pests if done properly, but when you can do what cotton growers have done working with CDFA for almost 40 years, it is truly amazing," said Rudig, who was a leader in moving the PBW technology to the fight against Medfly.
Rudig said it is almost impossible to keep Medfly out of California's urban areas like Southern California, and CDFA now aerially drops sterile Medfly over the Los Angeles area to minimize infestations.
Using sterile insect releases to keep a pest at bay is a numbers game, but those numbers can be deceiving, pointed out Rudig. Trapping to capture both sterile and native PBW is an integral part of the program.
"In 2005 we released 231 million steriles and captured 231,000 in traps. Because we are trapping only males, that represents only two-tenths of 1 percent. We trapped only 116 natives at the same time," said Rudig. However, if you use the same trap percentage as sterile moths, "it is easy to recognize that a native population can quickly get away from you without a sterile release program. Just because you caught one native moth does not mean it is the only one out there."
Early on in the program there were doubts expressed that the pink bollworm could overwinter in the San Joaquin Valley. Staten researched the issue with caged cotton plots in the middle of Kern County cotton field one season. He recorded five generations in those cages; end of debate about overwintering.
Williams has high praise for the board and the CDFA crew that runs the program. In recent years the board has approved funding for CDFA trapping for silverleaf whitefly, a potentially devastating pest that can cause severe damage to cotton lint and the valley's high quality cotton reputation.
The California growers and ginners groups have conducted an aggressive campaign to prevent sticky cotton caused by whitefly.
"The trapping by CDFA has been very extensive and very informative. It gives us a clue as to where sticky cotton issues may arise and allows us to address it quickly," said Williams.
With cotton acreage declining, revenue for the cotton pest control board PBW program has been declining.
"The board was facing budgetary constraints and were looking to cut back whitefly trapping. We encouraged them to stay with the program and they accommodated us. Every cotton grower in the San Joaquin appreciates that very much.
"And, I might add Jim Rudig has done a fantastic job with the program," he said. Another critical element in keeping PBW at bay is a mandatory plowdown regulation to reduce overwintering habitat for the pest.
Conservation tillage is a new technology several SJV growers are trying and in that system, complete plowdown may not be possible.
CDFA flexible
"The board and the CDFA people did not stonewall these efforts. Instead they adopted some rules that will allow growers to experiment with conservation tillage without compromising the integrity of the pink bollworm program," said Williams. "That is the kind of flexibility and continued support for the cotton industry that has been repeatedly displayed by CDFA and the board."
While the majority of the funds collected have been to support SJV pink bollworm suppression, Southern California cotton growers have not been ignored. The board has funded research there over the years.
Ironically, the next and possibly final chapter of pink bollworm story in the Western U.S. and Mexico may be written in Southern California along with Arizona, New Mexico, Far West Texas and Northern Mexico where the pink bollworm has been a constant threat since the mid-1960s.
Growers in these area have been able to stay in the cotton business with the use of pheromone confusion and reduced pesticide use. Now eradication may be possible.
"Bt cotton could be the final piece of the puzzle that will allow us to truly consider eradicating the pink bollworm from the U.S. and Mexico," said Shropshire. Pheromones and Bt cotton have reduced pink bollworm populations in many areas to levels where massive sterile release drops like are done each year in the San Joaquin can possibly eradicate pink bollworm by overwhelming native populations.
Bob Hull is a long time Palo Verde Valley cotton grower who was a young man just out of college when pink bollworm greeted his return to the family farm near Blythe, Calif.
"There were airplanes flying all over the place when I came back to the farm. I did not know what was going on," he said. He quickly found out and also found himself in a leadership role of talking to growers about area wide programs to keep the PBW at bay.
Bt cotton value
"Bt cotton is keeping us in the cotton business today. Without that technology, cotton would be little more than a rotation crop," said Hull is a member of the National Cotton Council Pink Bollworm Action Committee, which has been the focal point of the emerging eradication program.
"I was so pleased to make the motion to support an eradiation effort. If we can use the same technology to eradicate the pink bollworm as has been used to keep it out of the San Joaquin Valley — Wow!"
Sterile moths for this eradication effort will come from the rearing facility built in Phoenix 10 years ago with California cotton grower money.
"Wally and the board came through in 1994 with support to build a new state of the art 60,000-square foot rearing facility in Arizona that has allowed us to exponentially increase our rearing capacity and scientific knowledge," said Staten.
"At that time we were hoping to rear 8 million to 10 million insects per day. Today because of that resource, we expect to turn out 22 million insects per day. It's all been possible because San Joaquin Valley growers had, and continue to have, the foresight to invest in the future. It was a huge unleashing of energy, and the board made it happen," said Staten.
If the eradication effort in Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Far West Texas and northern Mexico is successful, sterile moth drops would likely end in the San Joaquin. However, trapping would continue.
"The combination of Bt cotton, pheromones and sterile releases is a pretty bright light at the end of the tunnel toward that elusive goal of eradication," said Shropshire. "Eradication may put me out of a job, but I would not be happier."
Shropshire began his California cotton career in 1954 when he moved to Palo Verde Valley to manage a cotton gin. He farmed cotton from 1955 to 1992. Today he's "semi" retired, but keeps official ties to the industry as a business associate with Hull Farms.
Shropshire is known as a joke teller. He always has a new one to share, but make no mistake he takes seriously the job of pest control board chairman.
Tracy credits Shropshire's leadership in always keeping the future of the cotton industry on the table in making visionary decisions.
Pink bollworm bull
"Every successful organization or program has their share of worker bees, but there is always one old range bull whose unflagging energy, through good and bad times, keeps everything heading in the right direction," said Tracy.
"I know the intention of Western Farm Press and the Cotton Foundation is to salute the whole cotton pest control board program and the many state and university staff plus the myriad of current and past board members, but Wally Shropshire is that old bull in the pink bollworm world."
And, everyone knows you don't mess with an old range bull. If you don't believe that, ask Wally about the time he called the governor of California a "thief" for "borrowing" $4 million of cotton grower money to fund a state budget shortfall.
He got the money back — with interest owed — and then led a legislative effort to allow state boards funded with grower money to deposit funds in a private bank, safe from greedy bureaucratic hands. Now most state boards keep funds in private bank accounts.
Along the way, the governor refused to re-appoint Wally to the local fair board. It didn't faze the old range bull. He collected interest from the governor.

I would like to address this so-called controversy about the under-age girls. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid some critics can be. The song Every Girl is tongue and cheek. Have people lost their sense of irony to knee jerk reactionism. Drake clearly understands that the song is not meant to be taken literally, so why is it that so many bloggers feel that the lyrics describe lil waynes genuine desire to **** every girl in the world--as if that were actually possible. The same people who claim that the performance ruined the tribute to Michael Jackson were probably writing him off as a pedophile a few years ago. Not to mention those that express their interest in seeing Chris Brown perform instead of the chosen performers. Did they ever stop to think about the actual crime he committed. I dont think so. Drake in no way is condoning something as imbecillic as underage sex, as evidenced by the fact that he did his set sitting on a stool. Injury aside, he was not jumping around up their chanting along with Wayne. And believe it or not, the world actually has bigger problems right now than the song Every Girl. Read a newspaper. And if critics who reperesent the populace dont like the song than why is it in the top five on Billboard. Its tongue and cheek people. Get a sense of humour or start questioning yourself about your own hangups. This culture is what you make it.

I'm a long-time fan of DWELL Magazine, and as a subscriber just received the February 2007 issue ("The Craft of Design") which features a portfolio of images by Abelardo Morell which is entitled "OUTSIDE IN" (starts on page 143). It is great work, and I am pleased to see Dwell publishing photographic portfolios dealing with issues of space, architecture and how we live/work. Don't miss it!

One may wonder what role God plays in the eyes of those proportionally few extremists among the Christians as well as the Muslims if everyone considers himself both judge and executioner and feels impelled to predate the Day of Judgment. It is those very violent extremists, associating themselves with the religion of Islam, who through their actions insult their prophet most. Because the Quran does not imply any worldly punishment for blasphemy, let alone condone vigilantism. Quite the contrary, the Quran states repeatedly "Bear patiently what they say" and also "And when thou seest those who engage in vain discourse concerning Our Signs, then turn thou away from them until they engage in a discourse other than that."
Is there any Muslim who can rebut this teaching of the Quran? Is it illusory to expect from the peaceloving majority of the adherents of all denominations to join hands and thwart the dividing efforts of the few agitators and to supersede all the instigators from the media focus?

Animalia 2.0
In the little bits and pieces I've deciphered from the news,
As I search the databases for the tiniest of clues,
I've discovered there's a pattern, and it's filling me with fear:
Seems the animals are gearing up, and we provide their gear!
From genetic alterations making salmon grow much faster
(Which I swear I saw on SyFy, though the film was a disaster)
To a cute bionic kitty, newly fitted with faux paws,
There are animals aplenty, each ignoring nature's laws!
When they modified a rabbit (which is now ten years ago!)
With a little bit of jellyfish, to make the bunny glow,
Why, it set the critics moaning, "We are turning into gods!"
They all knew where we were heading, and they didn't like the odds.
Now the streets are filled with unicorns and twenty-five-foot spiders,
The apocalyptic nightmares feared by government insiders
And the necessary outcome (well, that's what the papers say)
Of the scientific progress we rely upon today.
So let's put a stop to science! In your heart, you know we should!
It can only lead to evil; it has never led to good!
It is mankind's worst invention, we acknowledge (to our shame)--
If I live to be a hundred, I say science gets the blame!
Inspired by the comments at the NYTimes following the first linked story above.

2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Details:
- Touchpad and head-up display added
- 220 lb lighter than predecessor
- GPS-sensitive air conditioning added
- Intelligent-Drive assists added
The inside of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-class is far beyond what you might expect. With the use of high-grade materials and ultra-modern technology, the only thing that won't surprise you is that it is anything but ordinary.
The new look starts with the center console's completely reinterpreted appearance and freestanding central display. But probably the most anticipated new addition is the touchpad and head-up display. Appearing to float over the hood, the head-up display provides the driver with important information on speed, speed limits, navigation instructions, and messages from the DISTRONIC PLUS. This ensures a less distracted and safer driver.
The entire passenger cabin is made predominantly out of high-strength sheet steel to ensure that each passenger is safely transported inside the new C-Class. At the same time, lightweight optimization is implemented using an aluminum hybrid body, which makes the body and bodyshell around 154 lb lighter than conventional steel. Also the entire vehicle is around 220 lb lighter than its predecessor. These weight savings also attribute to improved fuel economy.
A sensor in the front passenger airbag detects every child seat in the vehicle, which deactivates the airbag. And when the child seats are removed the airbag is reactivated.
Something you used to only see in the S-Class is now available on the new C-Class. The AIR-BALANCE package includes an interesting feature centered on GPS-sensitive air conditioning. The AC not only automatically recirculates but also has tunnel detection using satellite navigation for improved cabin comfort. Another feature seen in the S-Class, now in the C-class, is Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive (accident avoidance and driver safety technologies).
With all the interior and technology based improvements to the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-class, we don't yet know what the exterior will look like. Hopefully it will be at least half as impressive as the inside.
