Liberty News
New York Times features Liberty's 'football crusade'
A New York Times article published in the Sports Sunday section on Nov. 11 shows Liberty University's football program, and the school at large, is gaining national prominence.
"At Liberty, once a tiny Bible college but now a budding giant, the plan is for college football — big-time, always-on-television college football — to do for evangelical Christians in the 21st century what Notre Dame football did for Roman Catholics in the 20th," reporter Bill Pennington writes.
In an interview on Liberty's campus last month, Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. told The New York Times: "We think there would be a vast, committed fan base of conservative, evangelical Christians around the country and maybe even folks who are conservative politically who would rally behind Liberty football. They would identify with our philosophy."
The article points out Liberty's rapid growth in the last decade, with currently more than 82,000 online students enrolled and expansions occurring all across campus, including new residence halls that will bring the residential population to near 20,000, construction of the new Jerry Falwell Library, and a medical school.
Athletics, it says, has been a large benefactor of Liberty's firm financial footing, with a new baseball stadium under way and a newly expanded Williams Stadium that includes locker rooms and training facilities that "resemble those of a top college program, if not one in the N.F.L."
"At a time when many large public universities are increasingly crimped by shrinking state budgets or a lack of space to expand — if not both — Liberty has ample money and room to grow," Pennington writes.
The article shows Liberty is poised for an invitation to the FBS conference and headed toward more national exposure, just as its founder, Dr. Jerry Falwell, Sr., envisioned.
"Football's role in making Liberty a national institution was my father's vision from the very beginning," Falwell, Jr. is quoted in the article. "It might have seemed far-fetched then, but not now. We're as ready as anyone can be."

The Films of Richard Linklater
It's Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books
Dazed and Confused
Before Sunrise (July 16/13)
Undoubtedly one of the most romantic movies of all time, Before Sunrise follows two strangers (Ethan Hawke's Jesse and Julie Delpy's Celine) as they meet on a train and immediately hit it off - with the film detailing the pair's subsequent walk through the streets of Venice. It's a simple premise that's executed to impressively engrossing effect by filmmaker Richard Linklater, as the director, working from a screenplay cowritten with Kim Krizan, kicks the proceedings off with a captivating meet-cute that's heightened by the palpable chemistry between Hawke and Delpy. The characters' utterly charming dynamic ensures that their conversations are, for the most part, far more compelling than one might've anticipated, with Linklater and Krizan's script packed full of cogent observations about topics as varied as relationships, death, and religion. It goes without saying, of course, that Before Sunrise is at its best during its more blatantly romantic moments, with, in particular, Jesse and Celine's first kiss ranking high on the movie's list of swoon-worthy sequences. (The film's highlight, however, is an absolutely spellbinding scene involving the couple's imaginary phone calls to their respective friends.) And although movie does hit a bit of a lull in its slightly overlong midsection, Before Sunrise recovers for a gripping final stretch detailing Jesse and Celine's efforts at figuring out where to take their newfound relationship - which ultimately does cement the picture's place as a unique and completely disarming modern romance.

Waking Life (June 16/06)
It's clear almost immediately that Waking Life's been geared almost exclusively towards followers and fans of various philosophical ideas, as the film is essentially a series of seemingly endless lectures delivered by several disparate figures. It's just as obvious, however, that neophytes to the many theories proffered by filmmaker Richard Linklater will be left out in the cold (there's certainly no storyline or actual characters for viewers to latch onto). The movie follows actor Wiley Wiggins through a particularly eventful series of lucid dreams, where he encounters a whole host of chatty folks - each with their own perspective on the meaning of life. Waking Life is initially kind of interesting - albeit on an incredibly sporadic basis - but the ceaseless prattle eventually becomes mind-numbing and meaningless. It doesn't help that the majority of this stuff comes off as pompous and utterly nonsensical, though there are one or two compelling moments mixed in with the chaff (the sequence in which Before Sunrise costars Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy have a brief dream-related discussion is an obvious highlight). The novelty of the much-lauded animation style wears off about halfway through, with the end result a film that's more interminable than anything else.

Before Sunset (July 16/13)
Before Sunset follows Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) as they reconnect in Paris nine years after their encounter in Before Sunrise, with the film, naturally, detailing the various conversations that ensue between the pair over the course of one very leisurely afternoon. In its early stages, Before Sunset doesn't seem as though it's quite going to reach the stellar heights of its predecessor - as the pronounced emphasis on the central characters' philosophical musings results in an atmosphere that's almost akin to director Richard Linklater's tedious Waking Life. (Before Sunset, of course, never comes close to the interminable depths of that animated endeavor.) The electric chemistry between Jesse and Celine, coupled with the actors' fantastic work, ensures that the film remains compulsively watchable even through its more esoteric stretches, and yet there's little doubt that Before Sunset improves immeasurably once the protagonists start exploring the effect that that fateful night has had on both their lives. It's subsequently impossible to deny that the second half possesses a frankness that's nothing short of irresistible, with the intensely romantic vibe paving the way for an absolutely riveting (and rather emotionally-draining) final 30 minutes. (And this is to say nothing of the note-perfect capper that closes the movie.) The end result is a superior sequel that accomplishes everything that one might've hoped, and it certainly goes without saying that future installments of this (hopefully) ongoing series will have a lot to live up to.
At 113 minutes, Bad News Bears feels overlong by at least a half hour; what should've been a fun and breezy comedy is ultimately transformed into an incredibly tedious ordeal, although there's certainly something to be said for Billy Bob Thornton's gleefully malicious performance. A remake of the eponymous 1976 Walter Matthau flick, Bad News Bears follows pro-baseball-player-turned-drunkard Morris Buttermaker (Thornton) as he attempts to whip a group of ragtag misfits into something resembling a competent little league team. Director Richard Linklater is clearly striving for a vibe similar to his own School of Rock, as the two films essentially feature the same storyline (ie a lazy slacker finds redemption after successfully teaching kids how to excel at something). But where School of Rock was engaging and entertaining, Bad News Bears is bloated and ponderous; screenwriters Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (working from Bill Lancaster's original) infuse the film with an unusually deliberate pace, a problem that's exacerbated by the fact that the final baseball game occupies over a half hour's worth of screentime (!) That the majority of these kids simply cannot act certainly doesn't help matters, nor does Buttermaker's magical metamorphosis from apathetic abuser to kind, caring coach.

Me and Orson Welles
Bernie (May 17/12)
There's little doubt that Bernie represents a fairly drastic departure for filmmaker Richard Linklater, as the movie, which tells the true story of the relationship between a kind-hearted funeral director (Jack Black's Bernie Tiede) and a loathed yet wealthy widow (Shirley MacLaine's Marjorie Nugent), rarely unfolds as one might've anticipated - with Linklater's decision to blend fictional elements with real-life Q&A footage admittedly taking some getting used to (ie the initial proliferation of interviews results in an atmosphere akin to a network-television reenactment). It's clear right from the outset, though, that the movie benefits substantially from Black's revelatory performance, as the actor effortlessly slips into the skin of a low-key and consistently likeable figure that couldn't possibly be farther from his larger-than-life persona. The ongoing emphasis on Bernie's subdued exploits does, as a result, fare somewhat better than one might've anticipated, although there's little doubt that Linklater's palpably meandering modus operandi becomes more and more problematic as the film progresses into its relatively pointless midsection (ie one can't help but wonder if the movie is going to be content merely documenting the weird relationship between the two central characters). And while the film receives a burst of energy with a rather unexpected twist about halfway through, Bernie ultimately comes off as a watchable endeavor that works mostly as a showcase for three admittedly spectacular performances (Matthew McConaughey, cast as a pragmatic lawyer, delivers his best work in years here).
Picking up nine years after Before Sunset (and 18 years after Before Sunrise), Before Midnight follows a married Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) as they're forced to confront a series of relationship-based issues while on holiday in Greece. Filmmaker Richard Linklater, working from a script cowritten with Hawke and Delpy, has infused Before Midnight with exactly the sort of low-key and talk-heavy atmosphere one might've anticipated, with the movie's opening half hour certainly delivering on the promise of the first two films in this ongoing series (ie there is, for example, an unbroken shot in a car that ranks with the best that the franchise has to offer). It's only as the action moves to the quaint villa in which Celine and Jesse are vacationing that one's interest first begins to wane, as Linklater offers up a selection of uninteresting, distracting periphery figures and devotes a good chunk of time to their decidedly irrelevant musings (ie there's a dinner party that just seems to go on and on). The picaresque atmosphere, coupled with Hawke and Delpy's expectedly engrossing work, ensures that the movie remains at least partially compelling even through its misguided stretches, however, and there's little doubt that Before Midnight does pick up substantially once the emphasis is shifted back to Celine and Jesse's exploits together. The movie culminates with a somewhat shocking sequence in which the central couple engages in a squirm-inducing (yet undeniably engrossing) marital spat; despite its effectiveness, this stretch almost feels as though it belongs in a different movie (ie it's just jarring when compared to the entirety of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset). Linklater deserves credit for taking these characters to a place of authenticity, it seems, but there's ultimately no denying that Before Midnight bears too few similarities to its thoroughly superior predecessors.
Boyhood, which was famously shot over a 12 year period, follows Ellar Coltrane's Mason as he navigates the trials and tribulations of adolescence, with the movie also detailing the exploits of several important figures in Mason's life - including his beleaguered mother (Patricia Arquette), absent father (Ethan Hawke), and sardonic sister (Lorelei Linklater's Samantha). Filmmaker Richard Linklater has infused Boyhood with a low-key vibe that proves an ideal complement to his relaxed screenplay, as the movie, for the most part, unfolds at a lackadaisical pace over the course of a long-yet-never-boring running time. The narrative's coming-of-age focus results in a preponderance of familiar elements, to be sure, with Linklater emphasizing such tropes as the abusive stepfather and the first love - and yet the inclusion of these components is handled with far more grace and subtlety than one might've anticipated. (And besides, the movie's subject matter seems to demand the presence of certain well-used plot developments.) It's worth noting, too, that the movie's time-jumping central gimmick is employed to impressively seamless effect, as Boyhood, though meandering, possesses a momentum that only grows more and more captivating as time progresses - with the film building to a series of unexpectedly (and heartbreakingly) profound revelations in its climactic stretch. (Arquette's final scene, for example, packs an emotional punch that's nothing short of devastating.) It's ultimately the movie's epic scope and swing-for-the-fences atmosphere that compensates for its rough-cut feel, with the end result a truly memorable and singular cinematic experience that's well worth the wait.
Everybody Wants Some!!
Last Flag Flying (December 18/17)
Written and directed by Richard Linklater, Last Flag Flying follows Steve Carell's Larry Shepherd as he tracks down a pair of old army buddies (Bryan Cranston's Sal and Laurence Fishburne's Richard) and embarks on a road trip to bury a close family member. It's ultimately hard to deny that Last Flag Flying feels like a rough cut of what could (and should) have been an engrossing, streamlined drama, as Linklater delivers a bloated and overly lackadaisical endeavor that's quite stirring in parts and yet, as a whole, never quite comes together to become the searing work one might've anticipated. It's a shame, certainly, given that the movie boasts a preponderance of better-than-average elements, with, especially, the performances from the three stars going a long way towards keeping things interesting through the narrative's shaggier stretches. And as typically solid as Cranston and Fishburne are here, Carell delivers a subtle and often heartbreaking turn that remains a highlight throughout and indeed stands as perhaps the actor's finest (and most nuanced) big-screen work. The almost episodic midsection, which is rife with sequences that could've been left on the cutting-room floor (eg the guys buy cell phones), paves the way for an erratic vibe that ultimately proves somewhat disastrous, as the big emotional beats of the movie's climax are simply unable to pack the punch that Linklater has intended – with the end result a decent effort that works as an actor's showcase more than it does a fully-realized motion picture.

Israel is preparing the red carpet for President Barack Obama, who will have a three-day carefully staged photo-op and an hour or so to entertain a hand-picked audience for an oratorical performance.
A force of 10,000 police officers and security officials will surround President Obama from the time his plane touches down at Ben Gurion Airport next Wednesday until it leaves two mornings later.
Just as he orchestrated his campaign visit to Israel and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in 2008, White House planners have worked it out to make sure America's Big Boss will stay in neutral territory.
He will visit the Israel Museum, which is full of Muslim, Christian and Jewish displays, giving him the opportunity to show how respectful he is of the world's three major religions. The highlight will be his observing the Dead Sea Scrolls, which won't upset the Palestinian Authority since the Scrolls have nothing to do with the re-written Muslim history of Israel.
The tentative schedule of President Obama's trip does not list the Bethlehem Church of Nativity, which the President previously said he wanted to visit. It is located only a few minutes from Jerusalem, but if he does arrive there, it will require a mammoth security operation that would require "cleansing" the area of any Arab within shooting distance and would probably cause a vicious Arab reaction.
President Obama may view the Iron Dome missile, if a trip to Bethlehem does not override it, and he will state that American funding of the defensive weapon against incoming short-range missiles is proof that "Israel has America's back."
Obama will make an obligatory trip to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah, where the PA security force, undoubtedly backed up by behind-the-scenes Israeli intelligence, will try to keep his subjects out of view so they don't greet President Obama by burning American flags.
The President will say that his visit demonstrates the United States' commitment to the Palestinian people, including those in Gaza, where even in his worst nightmare, he would not think of visiting.
Abbas will smile with Obama, which will infuriate the Arab street given the United States' refusal to accept Abbas' swipe in the face of the White House by putting another nail in the coffin of the "peace process" and going to the United Nations for de facto recognition of its territorial and political demands.
Abbas will tell Obama he wants to negotiate with Prime Minister Netanyahu, although no one in the press corps will report that Abbas has left nothing on the table to negotiate.
Obama will return to Jerusalem for a gala dinner with President Shimon Peres and will speak to Israelis at the Jerusalem Convention Center for what may be his last opportunity to talk directly to Israel.
After praising Israel to no end, and after mentioning that he will visit Mount Herzl the following day to honor the memory of former Prime Minister and Oslo Accords champion Yitzchak Rabin, and after falling over himself about the emotions he will experience when he visits Yad VaShem the next day, and after saying how much Abbas really wants to make peace if Israel would only let him, he will warn everyone that the alternative to a "two-state solution" is the end of Israel as a Jewish state. He will not note that Abbas' official maps show all of Israel as "Palestine."
Obama will try to convince Israelis that Abbas has halted incitement against Israel, without mentioning the endless honoring of suicide terrorists and ongoing PA television programs that remind viewers that Jews are the root of all evil.
Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Obama will tell each other how much they are working hand-in-hand to stop Iran from reaching nuclear capability, and who knows what they will say to each other behind doors?
Five years ago, Obama visited the Western Wall during his presidential campaign, and back home, he told Jews in the United States that Jerusalem is the "undivided capital of Israel." The next day, a furious Arab world forced him to backtrack, and he came up with a line that he really meant it won't be divided again as it was between 1949 and 1967, the period of the Jordanian occupation when an "apartheid" barbed wire fence kept Jews out of their former homes in the Old City.
Things have changed since then.
Every Jew living in what once was Jordanian-occupied Jerusalem is now an "illegitimate settler," according to President Obama.
Obama probably would want to declare a "three-faith" solution for Jerusalem with a prayer at an Old City church, a solemn stand at the Western Wall again along with a tour of the Al Aqsa mosque on the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism. But even an announcement that he would want to step foot in the mosque would spark a world-wide Arab demonstration against such a desecration by an infidel, who was born into a Muslim family but is a Christian.

Third constructors' title 'remarkable' - Horner

- Red Bull
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has congratulated his team on taking its third consecutive constructors' title at the United States Grand Prix this weekend, putting its success down to long hours, dedication and determination.
Red Bull sealed the championship at the Circuit of the Americas with a podium finish for Sebastian Vettel, although the title had looked liked foregone conclusion heading into the weekend. In winning its third title, Horner said his team had achieved something "quite remarkable".
"We're half way there and we've closed out one championship. To have won three consecutive constructors' is something we could only have dreamed about three years ago and to achieve what we have in 2010, 2011 and 2012 against the opponents that we have, and in only our eighth year in the sport, is something that is quite remarkable. I think it's testimony to the long hours, dedication and determination within the team that we've managed to achieve this and it's something that every member of the team is fiercely proud of."
Technical director Adrian Newey admitted the 2012 victory had been one of the toughest due to the competitive nature of the field.
"To achieve the hat-trick is very special and I was lucky enough to achieve that at Williams and then again at Red Bull with a second and then three firsts; it's a great tribute to the team," he said. "Last year's was obviously the easiest but 2010 was different because we had a lot of silly points losses at the start of the year from reliability and driver mistakes, but the car had very good pace.
"This year pace-wise it's been very close since the start of the year and in the mid-season probably more than anything. In some ways it's been the most tiring to keep it up and it does feel like a long season."
Newey added that he would not be partying too hard with Sebastian Vettel still under threat from Fernando Alonso in the drivers' championship and one round remaining.
"With the drivers' championship still in the balance and only a week away we can't afford to get too obliterated tonight."

LOS ANGELES (Fortune) -- In Pixar Films' upcoming animation epic, "Wall-E," the title character is a cute but clunky robot whose centuries of solitude on an abandoned Earth is broken by the arrival of a svelte, futuristic robot named Eve - who is so white, gleaming, and well, pod-like, that she looks like she was born in Apple's design room. It turns out that she was - sort of: Eve marks the first design collaboration within Steve Jobs' culture-shaping Apple-Pixar-Disney axis. (Jobs sold Pixar to Disney and is Disney's largest shareholder as well as the CEO of Apple.)
"I wanted Eve to be high-end technology - no expense spared - and I wanted it to be seamless and for the technology to be sort of hidden and subcutaneous," Andrew Stanton, Wall-E's director, told Fortune. "The more I started describing it, the more I realized I was pretty much describing the Apple playbook for design." It is, of course, not the first time a product has inspired a film character - think of the murderous HAL 9000 robot in "2001: A Space Odyssey," based loosely on big IBM mainframes of the day.
But it may be the first time a character was based on a true corporate sibling. A call from Stanton to Jobs in 2005 resulted in Johnny Ive, Apple's behind-the-scenes design guru, driving across the San Francisco Bay to Pixar's converted warehouse headquarters to spend a day consulting on the Eve prototype. Stanton said that it was a "lovefest" with Ive, but that the notoriously tight-lipped design wizard offered few specific modifications. "Apple is so proprietary and so secretive that he couldn't even really allude to where the future of technology was going," says Stanton. "The most he could do is nod his head to the things we said we wanted to do." (Through a spokesman, Ive declined to comment.)
Among her other attributes, Eve has expressive blue eyes that look inspired by an old Lite Brite game, a head and arms that seem unattached to her body, hovering and flying abilities and an onboard weapons defense system. Asked whether the robot is meant to be a preview of Apple's (AAPL, Fortune 500) product line circa 2,700 - when the film is set - Stanton says: "I kind of leave it to interpretation." Still, don't be surprised to see Eve bots working the counters this summer at an Apple Store near you.

OnlyBlowjob: Stacey Saran, Shower Duties: Blonde Babe Goes Nuts On His Nuts And Blows His Cock / 11.30.2015
Stacey Saran is a blonde babe with blue eyes. The busty British bombshell shaves her amazing legs while her hubby Seth takes a shower. The warm water actually arouses him, knowing, his sexy wife is sitting right behind him, fully naked. He turns around and Stacey grabs his hard prick and inserts his cock into her eager mouth. After a mouthful of dick, the shower duties are almost completed and the blonde babe goes nuts on his nuts and blows his cock. Then, she slides his big prick between her giant hooters and gives him another ball licking while he massages her cunny and makes her shaved pussy gape! She kneels in front of him and takes in his entire shaft for some deep throat satisfaction. While masturbating, she gives him some ball licking and strokes his sac with her wet tongue. Seth then titty fucks her again and finally, the hot blonde glamour babe goes down on his hard boner for some final blowjob awesomeness. He blows his cum all over her face and tongue and Stacey swallows his jizz and enjoys some drops of love juice on her chin!

Jaime's Porticus Sweater
Porticus pattern by Amy Christoffers
9 skeins O-Wool Legacy DK in Coal (size 34)
40" US 4 circular needles
I choose to use the yarn the pattern was made for - the O-Wool Legacy DK. This organic wool yarn is a soft merino, but tight plies mean it will wear well. I choose black - I wanted a classic sweater that will look great for years. The stitch pattern is still visible, but it is very subtle in black.
The sweater went together great. It is knit top down and seamless with raglan sleeves. The stitch pattern at the top, bottom and cuffs keeps you motivated to knit fast and the stockinette stitch in the middle is perfect for watching tons of Downton Abbey episodes.
Yay for knitting!

Sept. 13, 2005
For 74 minutes Lipscomb's Lady Bisons soccer team battled host Birmingham-Southern College to a 0-0 deadlock..
But a 15-minute portion of the second half was all Birmingham-Southern needed to take a 4-0 victor Tuesday night in Birmingham, Ala. It was the second straight shutout for Birmingham-Southern, 3-3 on the season. The Lady Bisons slipped to 0-4-1.
The first goal for Birmingham Southern was at the 74-minute mark when Catherine Spiker kicked in a loose ball in the box after a corner kick from Caitlin Gordon. Before 60 more seconds could pass the score was 2-0 with Mindy Woods driving home the rebound of a shot into an open net.
At the 85-minute mark Megan Blalock scored goal No. 3 on a 25-yard shot from the left side that went into the upper right corner of the net. Caroline Reehl added the final goal at 89 minutes.
"It's always good to play Lipscomb. A long-time rival from our NAIA days," said Birmingham-Southern Coach Keidane McAlpine. "It's always a tough game,"
The Lady Bisons managed six shots while Birmingham-Southern was credited with 25. The Lady Bisons made four shots on goal with Sarah Hennum credited with two while Sasha Sack and Melissa Chambers each added one. Birmingham-Southern made 14 shots on goal.
Bethany Copeland was in goal for the Lady Bisons. She made 10 saves.
Will Chandler of the Birmingham-Southern Sports Information Department contributed to this story.

Tonight on Raw: It's all about the big showdowns with less than two weeks until WrestleMania. We're talking about The Rock versus John Cena and The Undertaker versus CM Punk. Both feuds should only have more fuel added to their fires as we go live to Wells Fargo Center on USA.
Punk comes out to address The Deadman with Paul Bearer's urn still in his possession. He rhetorically asks Paul Heyman if �they� know what they're talking about when they say Undertaker is unstoppable and makes the bold claim that he has the psychological edge in this match-up. He is, after all, the best in the world. Punk says he is the �1� in 20-1, and he's ready for the perfect record to rest in peace. Ah, but like so many men have seen in the past, when the lights go out and the bell tolls, it may already be too late. Undertaker appears right in the ring, and Punk and Heyman barely escape with the urn and their lives.
Fandango is finally going to make his debut. I mean, he gets announced by Justin Roberts and everything. But just as his snazzy ring intro finishes up, Chris Jericho runs down and attacks. As the ballroom dancer heads for the back, it looks like we're moving ahead with Jericho's scheduled bout for the evening.
Match 1 � Chris Jericho vs. Dolph Ziggler
It's all Jericho for the first few minutes, but will a commercial break kill his momentum? Doesn't it always? This time is does again, with Big E Langston lending a (rather large) hand while we were away. Michael Cole reminds us that Ziggler still has his Money in the Bank briefcase and it has to be cashed in before July. I thought it had to be redeemed by WrestleMania? Anyway, Ziggler has Jericho in an abdominal stretch, though a hip toss frees him up. Jericho ends up coming off the top rope with a double axe handle and follows with a running bulldog. Y2J has to deal with Langston, and that allows Ziggler to recover for a DDT and a near fall. A quick series of counters ends with Ziggler in the Walls of Jericho, and somewhat surprisingly, Dolph taps out. But it's a pyrrhic victory like many in wrestling when Langston enters the ring to rough up Jericho. Hey, Fandango is back. He does a little dance with his partner before hammering an already beaten down Jericho. �Say my name!� The fans get the �You can't wrestle!� chant going, but it's a little late for that to make a difference. There's a big top rope leg drop to help refute the point too.
Matt Striker wants to find out if Sheamus trusts The Big Show now. Maybe he would if the big man would show up to save him from this attack by The Shield. Show and Randy Orton do indeed appear, finally running off the rogue faction after only a little damage done.
Match 2 � Mark Henry vs. The Usos
Time for my obligatory �The Usos are still on the roster?� comment. They take turns kicking Henry in the head, and a Superfly Splash gets a two count. That's the only shining moment they get though, as Henry rallies quickly to win with a World's Strongest Slam. And there's more where that came from. Henry keeps slamming and splashing the Usos for a little bit.
Match 3 � Antonio Cesaro vs. Alberto Del Rio
Ricardo Rodriguez is somewhat the worse for wear after having his ankle broken by Jack Swagger last week. A physical opening by both men leads to a distraction in the form of Zeb Colter. Swagger also makes an appearance, dishing out more pain to poor Ricardo until Del Rio goes over the wall to get after him. Cesaro wins by count out, but he's the only one who really seems to care.
Match 4 � The Prime Time Players vs. Team Hell No
It is Titus O'Neil who's here with Darren Young this week and not Pancake Patterson. Will that make a difference? Probably not. Ziggler and Langston come out to watch from the stage as Young hits a belly-to-belly suplex on Daniel Bryan. O'Neil slams Young onto Bryan for a two count, and Daniel has to elbow and knee his way out of further trouble. Kane gets tagged in and hammers Young with kicks and a side slam. The Big Red Monster finishes off the match while Ziggler and Langston talk some smack � from a safe distance.
We take a walk back through time to March 18, 2013, to see some highlights from the Triple H-Brock Lesnar contract signing. In real time, The Game comes to the ring to discuss the second stipulation for the match, which is that his career is on the line. Triple H points out that your career could end in any fight with Lesnar, and he suggests that Brock approach their match the same way. Well, what's this now? Wade Barrett stomps on HHH's music by starting his walk down the ramp, and Hunter responds to the interruption by booting him in the junk. He's in no mood!
Match 5 � Wade Barrett vs. The Miz
It takes a few minutes for Barrett to recover from that shot to the bread basket, but he manages to weather the early storm and ends up taking control during the commercial break you knew was coming. Barrett spends some time working on Miz's back both in and out of the ring until he finally is halted on a charge into the corner. Miz rips off a series of moves that includes his running corner clothesline and a double axe handle for a near fall. Barrett reverses the Skull Crushing Finale into the Winds of Change, but Miz kicks out at two. Miz tries twice for the Figure Four to no avail. Barrett unsuccessfully goes for a few more pinning attempts before loading up the elbow. He swings and misses, and Miz ends up crotching him on the top rope. Miz finally gets the Figure Four locked in, forcing the already, um, weakened Barrett to tap out.
Bryan and Kane argue about who's never gotten over AJ. Kaitlyn intervenes in the discussion, unaware that the vixen herself is listening behind them. AJ finally snaps when the word �Crazy� is uttered, and Team Hell No has no choice but to forcibly remove her from the locker room.
Match 6 � Zack Ryder, Justin Gabriel and The Great Khali vs. The Shield
Seth Rollins doesn't match up all that well against Khali, but Dean Ambrose fares better against Ryder. Zack also takes some punishment from Roman Reigns before giving way to Gabriel, but he ends up in an inverted surfboard from Ambrose as Rollins comes off the top rope. That's enough to put Gabriel away, and The Shield wants to give Khali the triple power bomb after the bell. Impressive. Sheamus and Orton head down the ramp to get some payback, and Big Show is lurking on the reverse side of the ring. And here... we... go! The fight only lasts about a minute, and The Shield is forced to lick its wounds by escaping back into the crowd.
Jericho is pretty upset about Fandango, and after a conversation with Vickie Guerrero, the two of them are going to square off at WrestleMania. He's sporting a shiner too.
Match 7 � Team Rhodes Scholars vs. Brodus Clay and Tensai
Or is Sweet T now Tensai's official ring name? This seems like a waste of Damien Sandow, but his team is able to get the win. Oh, and the Bella Twins are on hand. Could we see an eight-person mixed tag match before WrestleMania?
The Rock and some of the people behind G.I. Joe: Retaliation talk weapons and vehicles in the new flick. Looks action packed, for sure.
Match 8 � 3MB vs. Ryback
Ryback looks to one-up Henry by taking on three guys instead of two. No worries jobbers � there's enough squash matches for all of you, apparently. The members of 3MB actually acquit themselves with some honor here, keeping Ryback off balance with quick tags and constant offense. But Ryback eventually manages to throw Jinder Mahal into Drew McIntyre, setting up some spinebusters. In a pretty impressive spot, Ryback manages to Shell Shock both Mahal and Heath Slater at the same time. Yikes.
Arnold Schwarzenegger will induct Bruno Sammartino into the WWE Hall of Fame at Madison Square Garden. Pretty cool, no?
Match 9 � AJ Lee vs. Kaitlyn
I'll admit to not being the biggest fan of the current crop of Divas, but this match has some viciousness that makes it kind of interesting. AJ ends up sidestepping a spear on the outside and hurling Kaitlyn hard into the retaining wall, and the Divas Champion can't get back in the ring before the count of 10.
THQ may be a thing of the past (R.I.P., if for no other reason than your wrestling games), but 2K Sports now has the rights to the WWE video game license, and the company is making sure WWE '13 is available in stores again.
Lawler gets to introduce some WWE Hall of Famers and upcoming inductees, including Booker T, Mick Foley, Dusty Rhodes and Bret Hart, as they get ready to... ask the WrestleMania main eventers some questions, it appears. The Rock comes out first, followed in short order by John Cena. Foley asks Cena about losing last year's match (Once in a Lifetime, remember?), and he responds by comparing himself to Donovan McNabb. The Philly fans don't really like it, but his point is that he may be statistically good, but if he can't beat The Rock this time, Cena will be known as someone who couldn't win the big one. He also claims The Rock knows nothing about failure, but The Great One says he does know about overcoming adversity. Well, he says The Rock knows about overcoming adversity, because he refers to himself in the third person. Hart asks them why they seem to have been overcome with bad blood. That one ends with Rock saying he respected how Cena took his loss with class and John responding that we'll see how the Brahma Bull handles his in a few weeks. Booker wants to know why Cena thinks he'll win this time? John seems put off by the question, saying only that he will because he has to. The Rock is fired up by that non-answer, and when he presses for more, Cena says it's because he beat himself last year. He claims it was the only time anyone has ever clouded his judgment in a high profile match, getting him to try to beat The Rock with his own People's Elbow. Cena says he knows he's better than The Rock, to which the champ takes a page out of Ric Flair's book in reply: to be the man, you've got to beat the man. And he makes it clear that he feels Cena will never be �The Man.� Rhodes likes it, saying the two men need to put aside their mutual respect and take the gloves off. Asked what they really want on April 7, Cena says he wants to dominate and prove that he's better than The Rock. The People's Champ scoffs at that, saying he isn't wired that way and would love to see Cena do something about their difference of opinion right now. Cena makes the �You can't see me� motion in The Rock's face and goes for an Attitude Adjustment, but the champ reverses it into a Rock Bottom. The movie start goes one up in this feud as Raw goes off the air with only one more episode left until WrestleMania. See you in seven!
Nick Tylwalk is looking forward to covering his fourth WrestleMania in a setting that is within driving distance (kind of) of his home. Follow Nick on Twitter or Google+ or shoot him an email.

One of the factors for the success of the jQuery library is its ability to work with the Document Object Model (DOM) in a way that is both powerful and easy to code. In which way is jQuery different (and largely preferable over) the standard DOM API?
The standard DOM provides a rich set of methods to create HTML trees dynamically. It turns out, however, that in nearly all browsers the performance of native DOM objects is poor compared to using the innerHTML property, which is not officially part of the DOM standard. While functions and objects to neatly compose a piece of HTML are great things to have, the ability to select a plain chunk of HTML and get the resulting DOM tree is even more compelling. In jQuery, you find an API that supports both approaches with a syntax that is more compact and developer-friendly. Let's see what it takes to create a DOM tree.
The simplest way to create a new DOM tree in jQuery consists of passing an HTML string to the jQuery (or $) function, as shown here:
In the HTML, you pass as a string; you can also indicate style information, event handlers, and set attributes. The following example builds a DOM object that consists of a DIV element with some inner text, a CSS class, and a click handler:
$(":t;div />", { class: "panel", text: "Click me!", click: function() { $(this).toggleClass("extra"); } } );
It should be noted that the DOM you create in this way is not part of the page as yet. To add it to the existing page DOM, an additional step is required.
The jQuery library defines a bunch of functions to attach an in-memory DOM tree to an existing DOM. The following code shows how to insert a dynamically created image after each element of a wrapped set. The wrapped set includes all LI child elements of a UL element identified by name:
$("#PlayerList li").after(":t;img src='unknown.jpg' />");
The function named after first creates an in-memory DOM from the provided markup and then inserts it after any matching element within the wrapped set. The function after places the DOM following the insertion point; other functions offer alternate options. For example, as a developer, you can rely on methods like before, prepend, and append. The function prepend puts the DOM before the inner text of matching elements, whereas the function append puts the DOM right after the inner text of matching elements.
In all examples we've considered so far, the existing DOM imports a dynamically created tree. You can also add elements to an existing DOM the other way around — that is, by first creating the new DOM and then inserting it in some way around elements in a wrapped set. In this case, you use insertAfter and insertBefore to insert a DOM after or before the elements identified by the specified selector:
$(html).insertAfter(selector); $(html).insertBefore(selector);
You use the prependTo and appendTo functions to insert something before and after, respectively, the inner text of a matching element:
$(html).prependTo(selector); $(html).appendTo(selector);
The jQuery library also makes it easy to detach an existing DOM tree. All you need is a call to the method detach, as shown below.
var h1InSection = $("h1", "#section").detach();
Detaching a DOM tree doesn't really destroy it. A detached DOM tree is still referenced in memory. It is treated like a dynamically created DOM tree that is not bound to the current page upon creation. As a result, you can detach a tree from one place and insert it elsewhere, thus creating a nice animation. To remove and destroy elements from the DOM, you resort to the remove method:
Another option is using the empty function. The empty function is designed to just empty the body of each element selected by the query expression:
DOM manipulation is an important practice in rich client-side applications because it is frequently used and because of the impact it can have on performance. Every time you make a modification to the DOM, the browser needs to reflow the DOM and update the page. If done too often, it will have a serious impact on the page. Using detached trees is an excellent workaround as it doesn't limit the changes you can enter but, at the same time, doesn't trigger a DOM refresh each time. The pattern is: Detach the DOM segment you're interested in, apply your changes, and reattach the segment when you're done. It's easy and effective.

BEST Service Pros achieves CIMS Green Building Certification with near-perfect score
BEST Service Pros recently received CIMS GB Certification. The press release is below:
Vancouver company one of just a handful of firms to receive this global commercial cleaning-industry certification
VANCOUVER, B.C. – November 16, 2011 Best Service Pros (BEST), a Vancouver-based custodial, window-cleaning and document-management provider, has recently been awarded the CIMS-GB Standard certification, the highest level of certification available to companies in the global commercial cleaning services field. The company achieved a near perfect score, based on written submissions and on-site inspections.
The company is one of only 49 companies worldwide (and just one of 4 in Canada) to have passed the rigorous criteria and standards sponsored by ISSA, the U.S.- based Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association, with offices worldwide.
ISSA's Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS), along with the CIMS-Green Building (CIMS-GB) certification, ensures that qualified organizations meet the needs of customers and other stakeholders. Holding this designation has become an important requirement in many cleaning service bids as customers look for companies that demonstrate service excellence and adherence to green and sustainable cleaning programs.
"We have always had a strategy of forming long term relationships with client partners in an industry that is very competitive and price sensitive," said BEST Director of New Business and Strategy, Jeff Grabinsky. "All things being equal in this business, this professional designation underscores our commitment to achieving the highest standards possible within our industry, on behalf of our clients and employees."
"We work with many large institutional organizations in the Lower Mainland, such as public venues and universities, that want services providers who share, understand and embrace the goals of sustainability", he continued. "CIMS certification is the best validation of our own long-term company-wide goals. Happily, it also aligns with the values of many of our customers."
Compliance in the areas of the Standard is measured over five principles—quality systems; service delivery; human resources; health, safety and environmental stewardship and operational execution. For instance, the CIMS-GB Standard means that clients know that the company is able to provide them with data that helps them secure points for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDS) building certification for existing buildings, and meets the requirements for Operations and Maintenance (LEED-EBOM), while greening operations overall.
BEST uses a mix of sophisticated software technology and human resource management to deliver clear, quantifiable results to its clients. From builders, to property management, to other organizations where sustainable environmental concerns and practices are an important part of their brand and culture, the CIMS-GB Standard certification award to BEST for best practices incleaning services and professional facility maintenance provides that guarantee.
Grabinsky said the company originally undertook the CIMS challenge as part of their commitment to overall operational excellence. The organization wanted to ensure that employees, suppliers and other stakeholders all understood corporate goals, and the need to create optimal working environments, while reaching for "the gold standard" within the industry.
About BEST
Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia and in operation for 55 years, BEST Service Pros provides highly specialized services to businesses throughout Western Canada. BEST Service Pros currently designs and manages facility maintenance solutions, which include custodial, exterior building maintenance and document management services for over 2000 clients. Clients in educational facilities, government organizations and public venues, have chosen BEST to manage their services.

Tesla Motors /quotes/zigman/118681/delayed /quotes/nls/tsla TSLA , as promised, released Wednesday plans for its Gigafactory, the $5 billion battery manufacturing facility it intends to build to feed a steady stream of lithium-ion batteries to its electric vehicle assembly line in Fremont, Calif.
The press release was packed with details about the plant's capacity, flow process, construction timelines, production targets — even how Tesla is going to finance it.
And, as CEO Elon Musk has long made clear, it's going to make a huge difference – driving down costs with a facility big enough to make more lithium-ion batteries than the rest of the world's 2013 production capacity combined.
But it also left a couple of key questions about the factory unanswered. For example: where will it be built?
Three states, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, are cited as "finalists." That jives with Musk's earlier comments that the plant will be built in the United States. With an estimated 6,500 jobs attached to it, it's a safe bet Tesla will be driving a hard bargain on tax breaks. And by publicly naming the contenders, there's no doubt among Southwestern politicians who they are competing against: the neighbors.
As for whether Tesla is partnering with anyone on the project, we don't know for sure. Musk last week said Panasonic Corp. /quotes/zigman/194943/realtime JP:6752 had been Tesla's preferred partner in battery cell production and is likely to remain so. But it wasn't spelled out in today's announcement.
So stay tuned. The answers should be coming soon if that plant is going to hit its planned 2017 production launch.

LEGO could easily offer older popular torso prints for $1.00 per fig which would beat the majority of bricklink sellers. Consider that the average Black Falcon torso goes for well over $1.00 on Bricklink. Other torsos and accessories sell for considerably more. It's one area that LEGO really seems to be missing out on.
Oh and lots of dark brown.
