Eric Davis spent 13 years in the NFL as a cornerback. He's now in his second season as part of the 49ers broadcast team. After every 49ers game Davis will breakdown the game in his "Wrap Up" column. Here's Davis' fourth column of 2009.
Watching training camp go from beginning to end, it's obvious that 49ers head coach Mike Singletary does have a new style of aggressiveness that he wants the guys to play with. They're definitely playing a more physical brand of football.
He is also making the guys accountable for their own play. You're starting to see that they are taking ownership of the team. He's making the players understand how to police one another and perform their role.
Singletary and the coaching staff have been the same every day with their approach.
That's important for the players to see and to understand that it is going to be a certain way. You are going to have certain expectations and those expectations are not going to change. You can see that in the games that have been won this preseason. The players have fought through and found a way, whether it was the first team or it was the last guy on the roster out on the field.
Instead of going over a meaningless game in which the 49ers were defeated 26-7 by the San Diego Chargers, for this column, I'll choose offensive, defensive and special teams MVP's for the 2009 preseason.
An offensive player who has performed the best this preseason would be rookie running back
With that being said, I'll make Coffee and Rachal Co-Offensive MVP's for the preseason.
Rachal has had strong drive blocking and an attitude for physical play throughout the preseason. It's easy to tell that he is starting to hunt for people when he pulls around. He comes around the corner not looking to run the play but looking for people to maul. That's what you want in a guard.
As for the other offensive MVP, Coffee always runs the ball downhill and is a force to bring down. He does not shy away from contact and finishes off every run the way you want your tailback to do, always churning the legs and falling forward. He doesn't run out of bounds. He doesn't shy away from the licks at all.
Defensively, the 49ers MVP had to be starting nose tackle
He is probably a player who has most embodied coach Singletary's physical style of play on the defensive side of the ball. Franklin is one of the defensive guys down in the trenches who doesn't get to do all of the sexy work like rushing the quarterback off the edge and do the obvious things that fans can recognize. But at the point of attack, he's moving the line of scrimmage back a yard or two every play.
He's chasing down ball carriers, shedding blocks, clogging up the middle allowing guys behind him to scrap and make plays. Throughout the preseason he was playing relentless football, showing that he is well conditioned and ready to play.
Franklin has also taken on the attitude that he is going to do everything he can every play to make the play as opposed to waiting for someone else to make the tackle. He's hunting at a higher level than I've ever seen him do in the past.
It's not fair to put pressure on him and say he needs to become the next Bryant Young, but Franklin is doing well enough to say that he is Aubrayo Franklin and that is certainly going to be good enough.
As for special teams, the MVP has to be punter
Good field position football, a style that coach Singletary wants to play, can't be played without a solid kicking game. And Lee has continued to do the things that he has done in the past that made him a one-time Pro Bowl punter. The 49ers cover team has been able to get down the field and do their job because of Lee's punts. Going forward, this will allow the defense with good field position and an opportunity to stop teams and keep points off the board.

I'm a big fan of Valentine's Day, although I try to show my loved ones I love them all year round. It was harder when I was younger. So much emphasis placed on couples and dating and well, I was single. Even after I started dating, I still rebelled against the idea. My first year of college I celebrated Valentine's Day by wearing all black… What can I say? It was an experiment. Now I'm older (and hopefully wiser), and I've learned Valentine's Day is so much more than a day to celebrate that special someone.
I came across the Love Project a few weeks ago before February first. The idea appealed to me, especially after coming across a line in a parenting book. It said to tell your teen often, "There is nothing you can do to make me love you more, and nothing you can do to make me love you less." (Parenting Today's Teens, Mark Gregston, Harvest House Publishers) After making that comment to them, we talked a bit more, than I decided to try the month-long project.
The directions are simple. Cut up enough cards so there's one card for every day of the month (or you can use sticky notes). Every day write one unique thing you love about that person on a card. It can be a physical attribute or something special inside you love about them. Then stick it in a place where they'll be sure to see it.
I did this with my two girls. I made a list of all the things I loved about them. Some were the same (their beautiful smile) while others were very different (one is calm and cautious while the other is full of energy). When I started placing them on the door of their room, I explained what I'd be doing.
"Why?" my older one asked with a suspicious squint.
I shrugged. "Just because. It's February, the love month, right?"
In reality, I just wanted to let them know all the ways I thought they were amazing. My youngest has allowed all the notes to accumulate, like a Door of Affirmation, while the older takes some of them off and squirrels them away in her room. But however they deal with these love notes, I never want them to feel we don't notice and appreciate their differences.
This idea is versatile. It'd work for any month or any special person. You don't need to wait for Valentine's Day. Who wants to wait for a special holiday to tell someone how much they're loved? Or maybe do a month of I love you's–tell a different person each day how you feel about them.
It'll be interesting to see the results from this, if any. I've already had a few interesting conversations with my oldest daughter.
If you try it or a version of it, let me know. I'd love to hear how your Love Project progresses!

It's Opening Day! America's most popular boring sport is back. Great(?). If you have even a passing interest in baseball, you've probably ditched work to go catch a game already, but if not, here's a bit of fun. A GoPro on a baseball. Yep, as silly and wonderful as it sounds.
The video was taken at the Mets' Citi Field, and we don't know too much more about it. Where, exactly, is the GoPro attached? Who was throwing the ball? Did someone just chuck a GoPro instead of a baseball? Who knows! Don't overthink it. This is the world, if you were magically turned into a baseball and thrown around the Mets' home field.

Reunited, and it feels so good! The "High School Musical" gang is getting back together to celebrate a special milestone.
Original "HSM" stars Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu, Monique Coleman and Lucas Grabeel will return to East High in honor of the Disney Channel phenomenon's 10-year anniversary, the network announced on Sunday.
According to a press release, the actors gathered to tape "nostalgic, interstitial segments" remembering their work on the 2006 TV movie, in honor of a commemorative telecast set to air on Wednesday.
Although Zac Efron won't be seen alongside his fellow Wildcats, the Disney Channel confirmed that the star will appear in a pre-recorded message for fans.
"Seeing the cast of 'High School Musical' back together again reaffirms what made it special 10 years ago. It's their optimism, their dedication and their extraordinary talent as a group that made this such an exceptional movie and cultural phenomenon," Disney Channel President Gary Marsh said in a statement on Sunday.
"Ten years later, the movie continues to delight audiences around the globe, not just for its memorable song and dance numbers, but for its universal themes that continue to resonate with fans everywhere – express yourself, believe in yourself and always follow your dreams," he added.
"High School Musical" was Disney Channel's highest-rated program at the time of its debut, and spawned two sequels in addition to a blockbuster soundtrack album. The movie also won two Emmy awards for Outstanding Choreography and Outstanding Children's Program.
The "High School Musical" 10-year reunion special will air Wednesday, Jan. 20 at 8 PM ET/PT on the Disney Channel.

Bucking the trend, Costco was one of the few major discount retailers to deliver solid first quarter sales numbers amid a slow economy and the gradual impact of the sequester and the expiration of the payroll tax cut.
Costco released its second quarter earnings on Tuesday, seeing net income jump 23% to $485 million, excluding a one-time tax benefit worth $62 million for a special dividend given late last year.
Comparable store sales rose 5% at Costco, which runs a members club for discounted retail, groceries, and gasoline. Interestingly, Costco was one of the few major retailers to deliver strong growth in comparable sales in the first few months of 2013. In the U.S., the company saw a 5% increase in sales, while internationally growth hit 6%. Excluding gasoline, sales in the U.S. expanded 5%; international expansion was 4%.
While Costco was growing its sales and membership fees, as revenue from that channel rose 12% to $528 million, other big retail names were hurting. Wal-Mart, for example, announced it had seen its weakest start to February in approximately seven years, while Target noted sales volumes had been soft.
Sales weakness in the retail sector, which the Federal Reserve pointed out in its latest Beige Book, extended beyond major big box stores. J.C. Penney's latest quarterly numbers showed same store sales drop a dramatic 31.7%, as the company embarks on an ambitious turn around with Ron Johnson at the helm. Best Buy, another embattled brick and mortar company stuck in a transition moment, saw its sales contract 0.8% in their latest earnings release.
Yet Costco has thrived, even going as far as to give its employees a pay raise. Last month, management and unions agreed to a 9% wage increase that would make average hourly wage rate for clerks $22.87. Clerks will also receive bonuses of $3,750 to $4,000 every six months, according to Trade the News.
Investors appeared pleased with Costco's second quarter earnings on Tuesday, pushing the stock up 2% to $104.47 by 11:48 AM in New York.

"I received the car from my shipping agent yesterday and I was very impressed with the condition. I worked with Ayla and Darren, Great people to work with and I RECOMMEND TO OTHERS.
GREAT EXPERIENCE, AYLA IS A SUPER PERSON WHO TOOK SPECIAL CARE WITH THE SHIPPING OF MY JEEP. SHE ANSWERED ALL OF MY QUESTIONS PROMPTLY AND WAS VERY RELIABLE AND LIGHTING FAST. Ayla was highly communicative at all stages and took great care in loading my jeep to the truck. I'd recommend Ayla and Darren without hesitation to anyone else looking to buy a car from Nelson Auto.
You can be sure I will continue to market you here in Philadelphia. The Nelson labels you placed on the Jeep are still there and I will not remove them just so that I can market as I drive the Jeep.
forward to doing business again in the future. Thanks once again, Jackson Lemuna"
"Brian Beck is who we bought our truck from yesterday and we first contacted you guys as your dealership had a truck we were interested in that was posted on autotrader or carsoup, I can't remember which...and then we linked to your website and I clicked on to chat with a salesman and got Brian that night. It was nice to have the chat right away and he was easy to talk to, he got back with me that the truck we were interested in was already sold but he suggested another truck that you had in your lot.
I turned down that truck then the next day I thought about it some more and after more search and comparing I decided that Brian was right about that truck he sent me, that it would be perfect for us. So I emailed him back then called him and discussed buying options.
Everything was really simple and easy to communicate with you guys. I wasn't originally going to get my loan through you but your dealership offered so I ended up doing that too. Thanks for the really great communication and smooth processing! My husband is thrilled with his new truck and I'm convinced we got a great deal and will love our new truck for many years to come!"

Canon pulled the covers off the EOS 5D Mark II this morning. The full-frame digital SLR features 21.1 megapixel resolution, a 14-bit DIGIC 4 processor, Live View shooting and HD movie recording capabilities. With an estimated street price of $2700, the 5D Mk II packs in a long list of professional features.
I've been a huge fan of the original 5D for many years. In contrast to the 1D-series, the 5D's smaller size and lighter weight make it much easier to shoot from spontaneous (aka: "paparazzi") camera angles. Fortunately, the 5D Mk II continues this easy-on-the-wrist form factor. Further, with Live View and face-recognition auto-focus, I'm even less inclined to be a slave to the viewfinder.
Another benefit of the size is that the 5D Mk II provides pro-level capabilities in a body that's the same size as a consumer DSLR. In contrast to the hefty 1D-series, over-zealous security guards, thieves, etc. will likely not see the 5D Mk II as a pro camera when it's strapped around your neck.
The 5D Mk II uses a completely new generation of sensor that "incorporates an improved output amplifier and a more advanced color filter that improves light transmission while retaining excellent color reproduction." The Canon press release states: "the EOS 5D Mark II achieves the highest level of image quality of any EOS Digital SLR released to date." Big words for a camera that's not the most expensive offering in the lineup.
Other new features include:
- Self-cleaning Sensor – just one word… "finally".
- Two Small RAW Formats – for situations where the flexibility of a RAW file is desired but the 21.1 mp resolution is not needed, the 5D Mk II offers sRAW1 at 10.0 mp and sRAW2 at 5.2 mp.
- Silent Shooting in Live View – the two modes of Silent Shooting should be of interest to wedding and movie photographers. No word yet as to whether this will eliminate the need for a blimp on sound-sensitive sets.
- Auto Lighting Optimizer – Canon reports that this new technology will analyze dynamic range of brightness in an image and, if necessary, open up shadow areas.

[It should also be noted that elbows around the globe are aching today after rumormongers worldwide set aside their keyboards long enough to firmly pat themselves on the back after this morning's announcement. A sharp spike in the sales of Icy-Hot was also noted. There's no indication, yet, whether this is in anticipation of the opening of Photokina next week.]

Well after a slight pause it seems the megapixel race is back on.
Jack Miller says:
Hey Syl. Thanks for your write-up on the 5DMII. I love my 5D, I like my 1DIII, but have been toying with the idea of a wholesale switch to Nikon because of the D3 and SB900. With the 5DII now available, it is probably enough to make me hold my ground on the Canon side. Already placed my advance order.

Dance Place Gala Tonight; Success Built on Partnerships
Byline: Jean Battey Lewis, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
When Carla Perlo founded Dance Place in 1980, the city had a fractured dance scene: Talented people left for more fertile ground (read New York City); those who stayed often turned to local universities to sustain themselves.
Twenty-five years later, Washington is a mecca for young choreographers and dancers.
It would be hard to overestimate the role Dance Place has played in this transformation. Tonight, its Brookland black-box theater will rock with a gala celebration. Both senior artists, whose years of work helped shape the current scene, and younger artists attracted by their accomplishments will be part of the mix.
Dance Place's success has been built on partnerships with dancers and the community - which includes schools, benefactors, government and a consortium of presenters. The program will emphasize this collaborative effort with a series of duets.
Although Dance Place began 25 years ago in rented studio space in Adams Morgan - entered via a street now officially renamed Dance Alley - its first five years ended abruptly when the landlord tripled the rent.
At that point, Ms. Perlo says, "I was 32. I had already moved into challenging neighborhoods and cleaned and renovated and rebuilt five studios in the past ten years. I either had to move to New York or buy a studio, because I didn't want to live in a city where there wasn't a major center for modern dance."
The "unsung heroes," according to Ms. Perlo, were her two successive board chairmen, Jim Epstein and Richard Tilkinton, who helped make it possible for her to buy and renovate Dance Place's current home in Brookland.
The first year's budget was $60,000; it has grown slowly and steadily to this year's $972,000. Dance Place has a staff of 13, including Deborah Riley, who Ms. Perlo says has been "a great part of its success" as her "resident artist, business and artistic partner for 20 years." This season, Dance Place will offer 44 weekends of performances, to include 123 individual artists and companies.
Even though it started small, with Ms. Perlo not only teaching and choreographing but also running the business side of the operation, Dance Place soon began to enrich the local dance scene in new and creative ways.
"The Kennedy Center was offering groups like Merce Cunningham, Alvin Ailey, Dance Theatre of Harlem and the ballet companies," Ms. Perlo notes, "but that was one aesthetic. It didn't give our dancers the inspiration and ideas for the kind of work they wanted to do, which was smaller, cutting-edge, being able to combine different art forms. …

Coachella 2013: Action Bronson, remember the name
Kevin Bronson on
Who: Action Bronson at the Outdoor Theatre
In 3 or Fewer Words: Old skool cipher
Memorable Because: I saw my first crowd-surfing wheelchair during the mad spectacle that was Action Bronson. Bronson (no relation to your favorite LA blogger) and his crew brought an East Coast sound to the West Coast fest, with sparse beats laid over cinematic samples and an aggressive rhyming style. After eating the crowd's food and smoking their weed, Bronson crossed the photo pit barrier and led a mass of mostly onlookers liberated from their shirts across the desert polo fields, like the fat, bearded, hard-rapping Moses of Indio. Topics of conversation: weed and women. (Female genitalia was likened to a salted soft baked Bravarian treat and a popular men's haircut. I didn't see any Tegan and Sara fans around.) Action Bronson is a merely competent emcee but a divine showman. After having to pause the show – quote: "I was about to throw-up, I'm sorry" – he passed the mic to wannabe emcees in the crowd to spit a few verses. (Hey Coachella organizers, why not book an hour of open-mic freestyle?) Tons of old skool fun, if you could get past the large crowd of grown men cheering-on disgusting sexist remarks.
What I'd Tell My Friend Who Was At Wild Nothing:Â Sucka emcees make all the wrong picks / your band's a wannabe C86.

A $20,000 yearling sale purchase landed the world's richest two-year-old event when She Will Reign lived right up to her name to claim the $3.5m, Group 1 Longines Golden Slipper (1200m) at Rosehill on Saturday.
A bargain basement buy made by Darby Racing at the 2016 Sydney Classic Yearling Sale, She Will Reign took her earnings to a figure now in excess of $2.5 million with a consummate performance on extremely heavy ground under a heady ride by Melbourne-based jockey Ben Melham.
Ben Melham starts the winning celebrations with She Will Reign, picture Stevehart.com.au
Settled close to the tail of the field in a typically frenetic start to the breed shaping contest, Melham seized an opportunity to put She Will Reign in to a winning position when stealing an inside run up the fence rounding the home turn.
Asked to go and claim the early leader Houtzen (I Am Invincible) half-way down the straight, She Will Reign had little difficulty in reeling in the firm favourite before going on to score by a couple of clear lengths, holding off the late surge of Frolic (Husson) in the final furlong.
Runner-up Frolic was one of the major hard luck stories of another eventful Golden Slipper.
Last on settling, Frolic followed She Will Reign throughout the contest but was held-up behind runners when the winner gained a very timely split midway through the contest.
The final charge to the winning line saw Frolic make-up most of a six-to-eight lengths deficit on She Will Reign without ever appearing likely to run her rival down.
Last week's Magic Night winner Tulip (Pierro) sustained a long, determined effort around the outside of the field to claim third-place from Menari (Snippets) in the very final stride.
Houtzen, after showing her customary brilliant early pace and clearly leading the field soon after settling, turned in a valiant effort when attempting to lead from start-to-finish to cross the line in 5th position.
So, too, was the performance of Trapeze Artist full of merit. The Group 3 Black Opal raced just behind the leaders on a very hot pace and battled on gamely down the straight to finish 6th.
She Will Reign won the $3.5m event in a time of 1m15.04s, scoring by 2.3L and 2 3/4L. She Will Reign, Frolic and Tulip were all returned at an SP of $8.00.

Winning trainer Gary Portelli said in amazement: "What just happened. Can I watch the replay?
"I said she'd win on a dry track, but to win on a wet track is just phenomenal.
"That was unbelievable. I spoke to the jockey before the race and said to him 'I think we have got to go forward'. He went quiet and said, 'I think I'm going to go back to last. I am cutting the corner, I'm on the best horse and I'm going to ride her like I did in the Silver Slipper."
In reflecting on a career that has taken him to one of the pinnacle triumphs of his trade, Portelli added: "I started training back in 1990, [and] have been in the game since 1986. This is the race that defines a trainer I believe.
"I've been around a long time, but I've finally got a Golden Slipper winner.
"This game has taken me a long way. I struggled to get through Year-10, I was a battler working a night shift in a bakery, but my dream was to become a city trainer.
"It goes to show to anyone out there who is not sure what they're doing in life, that if you like something and want to do something, stick at it, work hard and days like this might come."
Winning jockey Ben Melham was obviously just as elated.
"What an absolute thrill," Melham declared. "The whole way through she has been a little darling this horse and she hasn't put a foot wrong. She is not overly big but I tell you what, she certainly makes up for it with all heart.
"Gary and the team have done a tremendous job with this filly and have prepared her for a hard Golden Slipper run, and you certainly need a fit horse in these conditions today.
"All the credit goes to Gary really. He has done a great job and here we are… We have won a bloody Slipper."
She Will Reign, by Manhattan Rain out of the Charge Forward mare Courgette, has now won four of her five starts and placed second in the other which was her last start in the Group 2 Reisling Stakes over 1200m at Randwick on March 4th.
She is owned by a large syndicate including Mr M D Holland, Mrs K A Allison, Mr G C Bachell, Mr R A Barrett, Mr M J Cameron, Mr B Craig, Mr M Evans, Mr B Furness, Mr J A Haworth, Mr T Hill, Mr J A Green, Mr R Kewley, Mr A Pieper, Mr J W Stone, Mr M R Tobin, Mr R S Wallace, Mr C J Webb, Mr A R Whatson, Mr M C Field and Twoipee Racing.

What the beaten jockeys said:
Blake Shinn (Pariah): "He just didn't handle that track today."
Brenton Avdulla (Veranillo): "He was just a bit green with the blinkers on for the first time. I thought he was going to run last at the corner so he's done a good job to finish eighth."
Tim Clark (Trapeze Artist): "I thought he ran pretty solid. He wasn't entirely comfortable on the heavy track but I thought he ran well."
Tye Angland (Single Bullet): "Just too wet. We had a reasonable run, it was a little bit tight at the half mile, but at the end of the day he just didn't get through it."
Glyn Schofield (Diamond Tathagata): "He ran a very credible race. If it was slightly drier it probably would have helped him a little."
William Buick (Trekking): "He didn't turn very well and the ground was too soft for him."
Corey Brown (Menari): "Super run considering from the word go he never handled it. He dipped and dived but had the audacity to get up and run third. Very good."
Craig Williams (Catchy): "She unfortunately couldn't handle the ground. It was so heavy for her. After 400m I was not in contention and I just had to look after her from there."
Ryan Moore (Formality): "She struggled on that ground today."
Tommy Berry (Frolic): "The winner took my spot, he put me up the rail to get there. She was gallant in defeat and she looks like the perfect horse for the Sires and Champagne."
Dwayne Dunn (Teaspoon): "She began well, put herself in a good spot, but she was gone along way from home. Didn't handle that track."
Jeff Lloyd (Houtzen): "She travelled well in front until she hit the course proper and her legs just went everywhere. The winner came past me very quickly, take nothing away from her, she put this filly to rest very quickly. She fought to the line but she never handled the conditions at all."
Regan Bayliss (Madeenaty): "She struggled in the testing conditions."
Josh Parr (Chauffeur): "He travelled to the corner like he was going to be in the finish but when I let him down the ground gave way underneath him and he didn't like it."

HAIFA (Jan. 1)
The five French-built gunboats which arrived here last night after a 3,700 mile voyage from Cherbourg were being prepared today for a civilian role as oil-prospecting craft. The Israeli naval crews which brought the 40-knot craft from the French port turned them over to civilian crews engaged by Netivel Nepht, an Israeli firm that prospects for offshore oil.
The five boats were anchored in the Kishon River estuary while technicians surveyed them for possible damage sustained during their six-day voyage. Their officers reported that the trip had been stormy throughout and that 18-foot waves had been encountered at one stage. They denied that the boats were escorted at any time by Israeli naval craft. They said they were refueled from other ships on the high seas.
The voyage of the five boats created an international sensation after it was learned that they slipped out of Cherbourg harbor on Christmas Day, reportedly flying the Norwegian flag. The boats were built in France for the Israeli Navy but were "frozen" there under the French Government's arms embargo against Israel. Although unarmed when they left Cherbourg, they are designed to carry Israel-made "Gabriel" sea-to-sea missiles.
Officials of Netivei Nepht permitted reporters and camera men to board the vessels after their arrival to emphasize that they were not armed and had no military equipment. The officials said the boats were leased from Starboat & Weill, S.A., a Panamanian concern which purchased them in France. Starboat & Weill is reportedly largely owned by Maritime Fruit Carriers Ltd., an Israeli shipping company that specializes in the transportation of frozen produce. The boats were given a rousing welcome by hundreds of Israelis who had been looking out for them for the past few days. News of their arrival was immediately transmitted to Premier Golda Meir who was attending a plenary session of the Jewish Agency in Jerusalem.
When the boats left Cherbourg under mysterious circumstances early on Dec. 25, world-wide opinion was that the Israelis had executed a brilliant coup in seizing their property under the noses of the French. The French Government reacted sharply, suspending two high-ranking Defense Ministry officials, pending an inquiry.
(The French Government formally named today Adm. Mordechai Limon, chief of Israel's purchasing mission in Europe, as the official they wanted Israel to recall in the gunboat incident. This was made known to Israeli envoy Walter Eytan by French Foreign Minister Maurice Schumann, who interrupted his New Year holiday to call in the Israeli envoy, an action interpreted by reliable sources in Paris as indicating the importance of the matter to the French Government.
(However, immediately after that meeting, Mr. Eytan and four members of the Embassy staff, went to the Elysee Palace, the official residence of President Pompidou, for a reception honoring the diplomatic corps. Many observers in Paris, the JTA reported, expressed surprise that in view of the manifested displeasure of the French Government, a full delegation of the Israel Embassy, including the military attache in full uniform, were invited to the Palace to express good wishes to President Pompidou.
(The London Telegraph said editorially today that the release of the gunboats to Israel was "conducted at some high level, though not necessarily by the two French generals who have been suspended." The Telegraph said that if Pompidou intended to start a reversal of the de Gaulle arms embargo, this was "a strange way to set about it," adding that the "uncanny silence" of the Arabs over the incident probably stemmed from assurance of French favors to come.)
The boats, which originally had Israeli naval names, were re-named "Starboat" numbers one through five. Netivei Nepal officials said the boats would be used for oil prospecting and to guard oil-drilling craft. They were the last units of a fleet of 12 ordered by the Israeli Navy in 1966 and paid for in full. Seven were delivered before then President Charles de Gaulle imposed his embargo and are now on duty in the Israeli Navy.

Enter the Phantom Ranch Lottery
Phantom Ranch is a historic oasis nestled at the bottom of Grand Canyon. It is on the north side of the Colorado River tucked in beside Bright Angel Creek. Phantom Ranch is the only lodging below the canyon rim, and can only be reached by mule, on foot or by rafting the Colorado River.
In the 1920's, the National Park Service selected the Fred Harvey Company to build a tourist facility within the canyon. Mary Jane Colter was commissioned to draft the plans for the facility. She produced sketches for a series of cabins. Everyone was pleased and announced they would name it Roosevelt's Chalets. Upon which she snatched up her work and declared, "Not if you are going to be using my work". A consummate perfectionist, she had already chosen the name: Phantom Ranch. The rustic cabins and main lodge are built of wood and native stone blending with the natural beauty of the setting.

Geneva (Jun. 6)
Severe criticism of the Palestine Inquiry Commission's report was contained in an elaborately prepared address read to the Mandates Commission by its vice-chairman, D. van Rees. The entire morning session was devoted to M. van Rees' address in which he pointed out many inexactitudes and inconsistencies contained in the report. His criticisms were generally favorable to the Jewish point of view. H. C. Luke, chief secretary of the Palestine government, and acting High Commissioner, was severely criticized by M. van Rees.
At the afternoon session the Mandates Commission concluded its chronological examination into the incidents from September, 1928, to August, 1929, and their immediate causes. This was followed by an inquiry into the deep-lying causes of the disturbances and the responsibilities involved in them. The two British spokesmen, Mr. Luke and Dr. Drummond Shiels, under-secretary for the colonies, furnished supplementary information and replied to questions.
A charge that the Jewish communities outside of Palestine, particularly the United States, who demanded wide immigration to Palestine, were entirely ignoring the difficulties of the Mandatory power, was made by Dr. Shiels in replying to a question regarding immigration. The Jews of the United States were more blamed for providing the financial sinews that enable East European Jews to go to Palestine than for sending immigrants of their own.

Dysautonomia rating scales in Parkinson's disease: Sialorrhea, dysphagia, and constipation—Critique and recommendations by movement disorders task force on rating scales for Parkinson's disease†
- †
Potential conflict of interest: MLE has received honoraium for consultant services and/or speaking engagements from UCB Pharma, Solstice, Allergan. She serves on a clinical trial steering committee for Solstice and has received research support from Merz, Ipsen, Boeringer-Ingelhiem, Santhera and Schwarz (UCB). KRC has received honorarium for sponsored symposiums in international and national meetings from Boehringer-Ingelheim, UCB Pharma, Solvay, Britannia and GSK Pharmaceuticals. He also serves in the advisory board for the above companies in addition to Lundbeck. KLC has received honoraria or research support in the past 3 years from Teva, GSK, Boehringer-Ingelheim, Novartis, and Solstice Neurosciences.
Upper and lower gastrointestinal dysautonomia symptoms (GIDS)—sialorrhea, dysphagia, and constipation are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and often socially as well as physically disabling for patients. Available invasive quantitative measures for assessing these symptoms and their response to therapy are time-consuming, require specialized equipment, can cause patient discomfort and present patients with risk. The Movement Disorders Society commissioned a task force to assess available clinical rating scales, critique their clinimetric properties, and make recommendations regarding their clinical utility. Six clinical researchers and a biostatistician systematically searched the literature for scales of sialorrhea, dysphagia, and constipation, evaluated the scales' previous use, performance parameters, and quality of validation data (if available). A scale was designated "Recommended" if the scale was used in clinical studies beyond the group that developed it, has been specifically used in PD reports, and clinimetric studies have established that it is a valid, reliable, and sensitive. "Suggested" scales met at least part of the above criteria, but fell short of meeting all. Based on the systematic review, scales for individual symptoms of sialorrhea, dysphagia, and constipation were identified along with three global scales that include these symptoms in the context of assessing dysautonomia or nonmotor symptoms. Three sialorrhea scales met criteria for Suggested: Drooling Severity and Frequency Scale (DSFS), Drooling Rating Scale, and Sialorrhea Clinical Scale for PD (SCS-PD). Two dysphagia scales, the Swallowing Disturbance Questionnaire (SDQ) and Dysphagia-Specific Quality of Life (SWAL-QOL), met criteria for Suggested. Although Rome III constipation module is widely accepted in the gastroenterology community, and the earlier version from the Rome II criteria has been used in a single study of PD patients, neither met criteria for Suggested or Recommended. Among the global scales, the Scales for Outcomes in PD-Autonomic (SCOPA-AUT) and Nonmotor Symptoms Questionnaire for PD (NMSQuest) both met criteria for Recommended, and the Nonmotor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) met criteria for Suggested; however, none specifically focuses on the target gastrointestinal symptoms (sialorrhea, dysphagia, and constipation) of this report. A very small number of rating scales have been applied to studies of gastrointestinal-related dysautonomia in PD. Only two scales met "Recommended" criteria and neither focuses specifically on the symptoms of sialorrhea, dysphagia, and constipation. Further scale testing in PD among the scales that focus on these symptoms is warranted, and no new scales are needed until the available scales are fully tested clinimetrically. © 2009 Movement Disorder Society

Albertan individualism came up against the sizable Quebec state this week, as an oil rig worker making a Terry Fox-style trek across the country to raise $1-million for an Edmonton children's hospital was arrested after arguing with police about his route.
Curtis Hargrove spent several hours in jail, and then had to chase down four teenagers who stole the Canadian flag from his RV.
But one bad day in a stretch of 45 good ones has earned the Cold Lake man a surge of support from Canadians who heard of his ordeal — he's received a flood of donations, more than 700 likes on his Facebook page and now has a decent shot at winning $100,000 in a Scotia Bank Gamechanger contest since the arrest at 2 p.m. Monday.
He's has also been busy deleting comments on his Facebook page that have been critical and disparaging of Quebec and his treatment there, stressing that most Quebecers have been nothing but good to him as he moved across the province.
Mr. Hargrove was just two kilometres into his run along the Trans-Canada highway southwest of Quebec City on Monday when highway patrol officers with the Sûreté du Québec pulled up behind him, ordering him off the road because, they said, it isn't safe or legal.
A day earlier —on Canada Day — he noticed six police officers riding up behind him as he ran (something police had done while riding through Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and New Brunswick), only asking if his RV was broken down as his accompanying motor home trundled along the shoulder. It wasn't, and so they moved on.
He told the patrol officers this, and they didn't believe him, Mr. Hargrove said. He told them he would keep running.
"I said 'You can give me the ticket, but I've got to run. I've got a goal in mind, I've got to keep going," he said. "I've been stopped on the side of the road for two hours now."
In the face of his resistance, police arrested and charged Mr. Hargrove — who is raising funds for the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation in Edmonton — with obstruction of justice and hauled him off to the local station. They also gave his RV driver and friend Morgan Seward a $52 ticket for pulling over in an area with speed limits of over 70km/hr, even though her four-way lights were flashing.
After hours in an "interrogation room," the former oil sands worker was freed, having agreed to continue his run along a safer route —Highway 132, which runs beside the picturesque St. Lawrence River.
When he returned to his RV, parked near a cinema in Saint-Nicolas, and after he had shared news of his ordeal online and eaten dinner, four teenagers —two boys and two girls —came up and tore a Canada flag from the driver's side window of his vehicle.
"They were trying to pull my signs off the RV outside and I chased them out of the parking lot," he recalled. "I said 'Why would you do that? It's very disrespectful, I didn't do anything to you.' And they said 'You have the Canada flag.' I said 'Well what does that mean? You guys are from Canada as well, we're all from Canada.'
He shared the encounter with media and found himself washing negative comments from his otherwise upbeat Facebook page, some also geared toward the arresting officers.
"I'm not going to blame Quebec for a couple of things. I love the support here," he said, adding that he received more than $500 in donations from Quebec residents.
He said the police officer who arrested him expressed support for the cause, but said he had to follow orders. The whole ordeal was a "misunderstanding," Mr. Hargrove said, and won't affect his run from Halifax (which he began 45 days ago) all the way to Victoria, B.C.
Sûreté du Québec Sergeant Ann Mathieu confirmed the arrest on Tuesday and said it is illegal to run alongside that busy highway. They offered him an alternative route, "but he still refused so we had no choice but to proceed to arrest [him] for his own security."
Besides stirring more publicity than he could have ever dreamed of, the arrest has served as a "learning tool," for a young man with an otherwise clean record, he said.
Mr. Hargrove is expected back in a Quebec court on Sept. 21 to answer the obstruction charge. But he expects to still be pounding the pavement — just kilometres away from reaching his goal.
"A lawyer can represent me," he said.

St. Patrick's Day isn't complete without corned beef, cabbage and Irish soda bread. I don't know exactly what's in the Irish soda bread that you can pick up at your local grocery store, but you can probably expect some funky-junk ingredients. This recipe turns that beloved (gluten-laden) soda bread into a simple, grain-free flat bread with a soft center and crisp crust. The flavor is reminiscent of traditional Irish soda bread, with the sweet, chewy bites of raisin. Slather on some grass-fed butter, and serve Irish soda flat bread with corned beef and cabbage on St. Patty's Day. Or on any night, really.
The best part? No funky-junk, just food.

New Jersey lawmakers approve budget as veto looms
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Both houses of New Jersey's legislature have approved a $34.1 billion state budget that raises some major taxes but makes a full previously agreed-upon payment to pension funds for public employees.
Republican Gov. Chris Christie has said he intends to veto increases on high-earners and corporations.
His plan calls for balancing the budget after downgrading budget projections by cutting the pension contributions.
The budget was adopted Thursday in the Assembly and Senate, both on party-line votes with Democrats in favor of it and Republicans opposed.
A balanced spending plan must be signed before it takes effect Tuesday.

Yet another picture from Lee Valley Park. Some of the activities offered by the complex are kayaking, rafting and canoeing. Now, I am not particularly fond of almost any kind o boats, but the whole thing brought some classic action shots opportunities that were just too good to let slip by.
Over the kayaking section of the river there was a little bridge that gave me the right angle with perfect lightning, so I could freeze the action with a 1/1500s shutter speed. Aperture was wide open at f/5.6 (the maximum allowed by my kit lens at 105mm). This is one of the occasions in which I wished I had brought my 70-300 along, but I decided to travel light so I had left it in Germany this time. As this was quite a long distance shot, even with the wide aperture almost everything was on focus. Lack of a closer zoom forced me to perform an aggressive crop, so the image size is about a third of the usual size.
Hope you like it!

Rebel Without a Cause Nov 21, 2013
You have to admire an American opening a restaurant in Chengdu, China to serve American food. That takes courage and the ability to appeal not just to the American taste, but the Chinese taste as well. Good food is good food I always say, regardless of where you come from, but this place falls short of that goal, and would not succeed even in America I think. Such restaurants are a rebel of sorts still in China, but this one is a rebel without a cause. I make reference here to the 1955 film with James Dean.
I hate to be critical of this restaurant, because the concept is really good, but it is done badly. First, the atmosphere feels like a library, and should be a bit more upbeat. Second, the menu offers the right dishes to represent American cuisine, but the dishes are not prepared well. Third, the owner is present, but does not interact with customers. The staff are friendly enough, but mostly Chinese. There should be an American or Western hostess to greet guests I think for people who come here for an American experience.
The meal here was simply awful. Tasteless soup for an appetizer, and the main steak dish I had was quite bad. The giant lump of potatoes was a dry mess, the steak had a strange sweet taste like it had been marinated in something too long, and the vegetables were a sorry accessory and just added to the misery of this meal. All this served on plates bigger than your head too, and I am sorry to say, but what a joke. My Chinese friends laughed about it and so did I. What a shame! I'm generous with 2 stars.

|Tweeter To Close 49 Locations
|Home Theater News Industry-Trade News
|Written by Jerry Del Colliano
|Monday, 26 March 2007
Mid to high-end retailer Tweeter has announced that they are closing 49 additional stores and laying off as many as 650 of its employees in an effort to restructure the company. These cuts come as Tweeter stock dropped from all-time highs near $40 per share to their current price of just above $1.30.
Ironically, the home theater business has never grown more aggressively having been powered by low-cost flat HDTVs and a healthy real estate market that allowed consumers to borrow from their home's equity to invest in new HDTVs, surround sound, home automation and beyond. With the home market settling back down to reality in most parts of the country and margins on thin HDTVs too thin to keep doors open – Tweeter is forced to take action.
Can Tweeter keep the ship from sinking? It's possible, however it might take a new focus on audio, customer service and custom installation. The company has pledged to spend more of the money they borrowed today on training, which is an excellent idea. If your salesman doesn't know how HD DVD connects via HDMI to your new 70-inch Sony – then how are they supposed to sell you the new player? But the solution to Tweeter's problems is far more complex. They need to get back to selling audio much the way I learned the ropes at Bryn Mawr Stereo (a Philadelphia area retailer acquired by Tweeter a few years back). When Costco is happy with making 2 to 3 percent margins selling 60-inch HDTVs, Tweeter needs to show clients why they need something better and certainly more profitable. By better, I am suggesting the idea of teaching tens of thousands of people why they should lust after the likes of Krell, MartinLogan and B&O (all lines we sold in 1990 at Bryn Mawr Stereo) as opposed to simply having their salespeople take orders for low-profit HDTVs. Tweeter needs to invest long term into the world of high end audio, music in surround sound, HD DVD and Blu-ray and PC convergence. For example, a pair of X-HiFi desktop speakers that cost $999 per pair and are designed to work with an Apple iPod or PC, can net a retailer like Tweeter $500 if sold at retail as they normally are. This is more money than they make selling a $4,000 HDTV. Considering that there are a good 70 million iPods on the market – perhaps it would be worth looking at these little jewel-like brands when merchandizing store locations as opposed to trying to keep up with soccer Mom sticking a 52-inch rear projection in their cart at Sam's Club along with an industrial sized tub of Tide.
Dave Nauber, the executive who ran Mark Levinson and Revel and who now runs the Classé brand of high-end audio-video electronics, is famous for saying "it takes no less than five years to woo a client to invest in high end audio electronics". Tweeter needs to invest accordingly in both their lines and their salespeople. If they spend the cash to get a client in the door to sell them an HDTV – make sure they get the 20-minute HD DVD and Blu-ray demo in the reference theater. Make sure they start the demo using the Creston touch-panel remote. Show them how the lights are controlled, how the screen retracts. Play them high-resolution music from a server installed with Music Giants and explain to them why it is better than their iPod with real examples they can hear for themselves. Because next year when those tax refund checks start rolling in – tens of thousands of clients might just start investing in building reference level theaters as opposed to leasing a more expensive Mercedes or buying another Rolex or going on that golf vacation. In the end, Tweeter is faced with the challenge – as is the entire specialty audio-video market – of investing in young clients who for years and years will buy more and more expensive gear. Baby Boomers made the high-end audio industry a success in the 1970s into the early 1990s on this principal but have let that market fizzle. With strong interest from brands who need Tweeter's reach, Tweeter's willingness to train salespeople and millions upon millions of consumers lusting for increasing amounts of HD content – the market is there for Tweeter to turn it around if they want it badly enough.

By Randy Harvey, Houston Chronicle
Lamar Hunt, who owned the Dallas Tornado of the North American Soccer League, brought highly regarded international soccer coach Dettmar Cramer from Germany in 1974 to give a kick-start to U.S. soccer.
He lasted five months before accepting an offer he couldn't refuse, as coach of the Bundesliga's most prominent team, Bayern Munich.
Not that he would've finished the job in the United States if he had stayed. Before the left, he said it would take the U.S. men's national team 100 years to win a World Cup.
There is no way to verify whether he was correct, not even the Mayans have been able to see that far into the future.
Fortunately, Major League Soccer has an accelerated timetable, believing it will be a viable international league, in a neighborhood at least bordering leagues in England, Spain, Italy and Germany, by 2022.
In other words, soccer should be major league in other than name only about the same time as the Astros.
No one is quite sure how MLS will capitalize on its upgraded status, whether it will be a league that develops young players and sells them for enormous transfer fees to the more established leagues so that it can develop more young players to sell, or whether it will attempt to compete on the same level with the Barcelonas, Real Madrids, Manchester Uniteds and AC Milans.
Who knows? By then, perhaps the Dynamo will be among the world's elite.
To read this article in one of Houston's most-spoken languages, click on the button below.
It's enough for the franchise to be among the MLS' elite, the statement made this week when team president Chris Canetti was awarded a three-year contract extension.
Marathon, not a sprint
He and coach Dominic Kinnear will continue to steer the team that advanced to the title game the last two seasons before losing to the L.A. Galaxy each time.
Whether the Dynamo can take the next step and reclaim the championships they won in 2006 and '07 depends as much on stamina as anything else.
Besides their 34 regular-season MLS games, which begin Saturday night at BBVA Compass Stadium against D.C. United, the Dynamo are participating this season in the CONCACAF (North America, Central America, Caribbean) Champions League.
The Dynamo also have players competing for their national teams in the CONCACAF Gold Cup and in qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.
The only cup Dynamo players aren't trying to qualify for is the Ryder.
"It's a double-edged sword," Canetti said. "You want players who are at the top level of the game in their countries. We support it entirely when they are called up to their national teams. But it's also important for our club to continue winning with the players we have on any given night."
Remaining consistent, Canetti said, will be the atmosphere at BBVA Compass Stadium, with various supporter groups acting like soccer fans all over the world, although without the accompanying hooliganism from some countries.
They play drums and cymbals, wave colorful flags, and sing and dance. Perhaps if we are fortunate there will be a city ordinance by Saturday against the Harlem Shake.
"What makes us different is what makes us great," Canetti. "Our fan experience is not the same as the fan experience at Texans, Rockets and Astros games. That doesn't mean those experiences are bad. It's just that ours are unique in Houston professional sports."
Something else to look forward to this season will be the promotion to the team of Bryan Salazar, as soon as he graduates from Fort Bend Bush High School.
During the short time Cramer was in the United States, he was asked when we would know that this is a country ready to take on the world in soccer.
"When you throw a ball to a young child, and he kicks it instead of catches it," he said.
Starting them young
That also was a goal of MLS when it began play in 1996, replacing the NASL that had tried to grow too fast, with stars in New York such as Pelé, Giorgio Chinaglia and Franz Beckenbauer but no solid foundation.
MLS required teams to form soccer academies in their communities to develop talent. New York had success as early as 2006 with the emergence of Jozy Altidore, then 16, who plays internationally and for the U.S. national team.
By summer, the Dynamo will have five players on the roster from their academy. Salazar's promotion, at 18, is significant because he will be the first to go through the program, starting at 11.
When you visit the academy, you can be guaranteed young men there are kicking the ball instead of catching it.
The future is not now for U.S. soccer. But that is the future.
