On the eve of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft, San Jose Earthquakes general manager John Doyle and coach Frank Yallop both admitted it was unlikely their team would be able to unearth an impact forward with the 15th overall selection Thursday.
So when the pair were able to trade the No. 15 pick — with the application of some allocation money — for Columbus Crew forward Steven Lenhart, scorer of six goals during MLS play last season, they were pleased, to say the least.
"Fantastically happy with it," Yallop told MLSsoccer.com. "I think it's a great pickup for us. He's a proven player in our league. Nobody likes playing against Stephen Lenhart, that is for sure."
The acquisition of Lenhart, 24, starts to fill the holes left by departing attackers Geovanni, Eduardo, Arturo Alvarez and Cornell Glen. Perhaps even more importantly, the 6-foot-4 Southern Californian gives the Quakes a legitimate target up front, something they lacked throughout 2010.
"He's big, he's brave and he's fast," Doyle told MLSsoccer.com. "People don't realize that he's fast. Lenhart's an old-school center forward, a target forward with pace."
For his part, Lenhart was thrilled with the chance to return to his home state. He starred at Azusa Pacific, becoming an NAIA All-American before being selected by Columbus at No. 48 overall in the 2008 SuperDraft.
[inline_node:311239]"I knew I wanted to go back to California, I just didn't know how or where," Lenhart told MLSsoccer.com. "It's a shock, but it's a good shock."
Lenhart has gone to the playoffs in each of his three MLS seasons, and hopes to help San Jose perpetuate that string.
"I have a high work ethic and ask a lot out of myself," Lenhart said. "Hopefully my competitive nature and spirit (will come through). I want to be on a team that wins games and earns respect around the league."
The move is salary-cap friendly for the Quakes, as Lenhart is considered a bargain as he plays in the final year of his current contract.
"He'll have a chance for a year to prove what he's worth," Doyle said.
Doyle said Wednesday night that there was "not a whole lot of interest in the 15th pick," but when Real Salt Lake called timeout on the No. 14 selection, Doyle circled back with Columbus, who had discussed Lenhart (and other players) for a few weeks.
Things came together quickly after that, and Columbus selected Michigan forward Justin Meram in the No. 15 slot.
The deal also speaks to the Quakes' confidence that last year's run to the Eastern Conference semifinals — unexpected by most national observers — is not a fluke, but a sign of things to come. Having just turned 22, Meram may eventually turn out to have a higher ceiling than Lenhart, but Lenhart will be able to contribute immediately where a rookie might not.
"This is a move for us to be a better team," Yallop said. "We want to be better, not sitting back and saying, 'We were great last year, let's keep the same team together.' That wasn't going to happen."

Schools reopen as Texas water bill dispute drags on
LA VILLA, Texas -- Students in a small South Texas town returned to classes Thursday after their winter break was extended by three days because of a dispute over a water bill.
All four schools in the La Villa school district reopened, welcoming back more than 600 students one day after a state agency refused to intervene, forcing the city and school district back into negotiations.
La Villa municipal leaders met Wednesday, conveying options for a compromise to the school district. The school board was expected to meet and vote on a compromise Thursday. But in a show of good faith the city restored water and sewer service overnight so classes could resume.
The schools' janitorial staff entered the campuses Wednesday night to flush the systems and ensure they were ready for students.
La Villa High School Principal Janie Farias said the first day back started as usual with kids coming in for breakfast and quickly congregating with their friends. She had only a few absences, a couple due to a death in the family and one that was going to receive a home visit.
"They're happy to be back in school," Farias said. She already has started formulating a plan to make up the three days students missed this week, including possible Saturday classes. State examinations are coming in the spring and Farias said, "I need to make sure those students are ready."
Abel Garza said his nephew was up and dressed bright and early for his first day back at elementary school Thursday. He had spent the extra days off just playing in the yard, Garza said.
La Villa is a rural community of about 2,000 people, 25 miles east of McAllen, near the Texas-Mexico border. Ninety percent of the district's students are economically disadvantaged.
The school district and city had been quarreling over water and sewer rates for more than a year. The city faced financial troubles and an ailing water system. The school district felt like it was being squeezed and not at fault for the city's previous financial mismanagement.
In December 2011, the city approved adding a surcharge for water and sewer service to the school district on top of the usage rate. It initially was set at $10 per person - students and staff - but the district fought it down to $6 and the two sides inked an agreement in November 2012. The city commission turned around the following month and raised the surcharge to $14.
The city says the district owes about $58,000 on its water bill because it has refused to pay a higher rate set in December 2012. So, the district's water was cut off after students left for holiday vacation.
School was supposed to start up again Monday, but without water, classes were cancelled.
The district now has a choice between two rates, both less than specified in the rate ordinance, interim city attorney Roel Gutierrez said Wednesday night. One rate would be higher but would carry less back payments, he said.
School Superintendent Narciso Garcia said the school board will meet in an emergency session Thursday night.

Had Appendix out Sept.
2 weeks later called back in - found cancer on the outside 5ml spot - small.
Had a right hemi-colectomy in Nov to get lymph nodes out to determine if I had cancer in the body.
Found 2 ml spot of cancer in between the lymph nodes & bowl lining.
Lymph nodes all good.
Chemo followed for 6 mths.
All follow up appointments & tests followed etc.
Nov found shadows sitting on ovaries - Yes I am a woman
Janurary had a laparoscopy to determine if I just needed a total hysterectomy or if it was something else with my history.
So they discovered that the 5 ml cancer had already spored in the abdominal cavity ....
Next week April 2012 I go in for a peritonectomy ... eeek
10 hour operation with 3 weeks in hospital .
I have been swimming & walking to strengthen muscles.
Eating a high protein meal to help organs.
Not much else I can do now but play the waiting game .....
Best way for me to deal with this is to look forward to a long break with
Free service, bed, food (when allowed) & all the drugs needed.
The only thing the holiday brochure didn't mention, was all the pain associated with it along the way.
The worst thing for me is that last month March 2012
I flew home to NZ to say goodbye to my baby sister as she was passing away with secondry cancer from a mastectomy 11 years ago when she was 35.
I have to deal with that after my opp.
She passed away 4 days after I got back to Brisbane.
I have to deal with my health first & that makes me feel selfish

Bob Tway was walking from the putting green to the first tee at Rock Barn on Friday morning when he saw Mike Goodes shot a 28 on the front nine.
"After playing the pro-am we knew we had to shoot low," Tway said. "But then when you see someone shoot 28, I think it kind of shocks you in that, 'Ooh, we're going to have to shoot really low.'"
No problem for Tway, especially when you have only 23 putts.
Tway birdied the 18th hole for a 9-under 63 on Friday to open a one-shot lead over Goodes, Tommy Armour III, Joe Ozaki and Mark Wiebe after the first round of the Champions Tour's Greater Hickory Classic.
After shooting a 62 in the final round on the same course last year when the event was played in October, Tway took advantage of the hot conditions that made for target golf. Rock Barn was tamed by soft greens, firm fairways and little wind.
A total of 69 of the 81 players broke par, a record for any round in a Champions Tour event since records began in 1983.
"Right now the ball is going forever," Tway said. "You're hitting clubs off the tee that you wouldn't even have dreamed of last year."
Combine that with his hot putter and the 52-year-old Tway could finally be in line for his first victory on the 50-and-over tour. The 1986 PGA Championship winner doesn't have a top-10 finish this year.
"I don't know if you ever think anybody is due in this darn game," Tway said. "I think the thing is I still really enjoy practicing. I enjoy playing. As long as I feel that passion for it I'll continue to do it. As soon as I lose that I'm out of here.
"I still have that desire to get better."
Tway will enter the weekend with 23 other players within four shots of the lead. Mark Calcavecchia, Mark O'Meara and David Eger opened with 65s. Jeff Sluman, Kenny Perry and Jerry Pate were in the group three back.
The early part of the day was dominated by talk of potentially the first 59 on the Champions Tour.
Goodes' eye-popping front nine included eight birdies. He made long putts and short ones, reached par 5s in two and stuck a 4-iron to 12 feet on No. 9 before sinking the putt for his sixth straight birdie.
"That's a lot of 'made its,'" Goodes said, smiling, as he went over his round.
Goodes couldn't keep the magic going, shooting an even-par 36 on the back.
"The front nine was fun. I would have liked to have played it again for the back nine," said Goodes, who was one shot shy of matching the tour record for best front-nine score. "I hit the ball really good on the front and made all the putts. It was kind of a dream round."
The 54-year-old Goodes' career-low round maybe wasn't that big of a surprise. The late bloomer from nearby Reidsville who didn't go pro until he turned 50, shot a 65 on Sunday in Iowa to tie for third.
"I think my distance control and my irons have been a lot better the last couple of weeks," said Goodes, who won his lone Champions Tour title in 2009. "I've had a lot more shorter birdie putts. Instead of being 20 feet short of the hole or 20 feet long, they're getting a lot closer."
That was also the case for Armour, who is without a top-10 finish in nine starts. But he's gained confidence since seeking advice about his struggling iron play.
"From about the middle of last year until about three weeks ago I've been hitting the ball badly," Armour said. "I've been hitting a lot of fat shots with some hook on them. I just couldn't figure out why. I saw a couple of people about it, came up with some ideas and it's working."
It was working for just about everybody except defending champion Gary Hallberg, who shot a 73.
With the weather expected to remain the same over the final two rounds, Tway predicted it would take 20 under or better to win.
"It's always tough to get the first one," Tway said about his Champions Tour drought. "It would be nice."

There are a lot of horror stories in the news these days about flying. The 200 passengers on a charter airline were asked to pony up a grand total of $31,000 to pay for gas at a refueling stop in Vienna Airport when bankers froze the airline's bank account—otherwise, as the attendant said over the microphone, they weren't going anywhere. There's other stories about passengers being held strapped into their seats out at the end of runways for hours on end without food or water as the pilot waited "his turn" to take off. And then there are the stories of those thrown off airplanes for one reason or another. It makes national news when the person is a celebrity, as it did last week when the victim was Alec Baldwin of Amagansett. Then there was the time, a month ago, that the Port Authority and the FBI had to rush to LaGuardia, as a Delta jet came in for a landing because the pilot had locked himself in the toilet. [expand]
I have my own story of being taken off an airplane. It happened on Southwest flight 85 going from Islip to Washington a couple of years ago. I had taken with me copies of numerous articles I had written about Iraq and Afghanistan over the years thinking that, on this flight, I'd use these articles as source material for a new article I planned to write opposing what was going on there. I'd used a yellow highlighter to note the relevant passages. There was a lot about Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein and Bush and Karzai. Bin Laden and Hussein were not dead yet.
Going through the airport at Islip, I had bought The New York Times for that day and as I went through security, I folded the articles from Dan's Papers into the center of the Times for easy carrying, then put them in a tray with the rest of my possessions and went through security. When I got through, as I was putting on my shoes and putting away my laptop and organizing all my metal objects, I did not notice that the Times was no longer with me.
The plane was full. I was traveling alone and I was assigned to an aisle seat. I sat down there, buckled up, listened to further instructions and then watched as the attendant closed and locked the door to the aircraft. But then we didn't go anywhere. We just sat. Fifteen minutes went by. And then the door reopened and three very serious-looking men in black suits came in. The one in the front addressed the passengers.
"Is there a Dan Rattiner on board?" he asked. I raised my hand.
"Could you come with us, please?"
I got up, one of the three men got behind me, indicated to me I should get out into the aisle and with the other two in front, was led off the plane and out into the breezeway and back into the terminal. There, we were joined by three other men in black suits, and, as I now saw, a pilot.
"How long will you be?" the pilot asked.
"We should know in 10 minutes," one of the suits said.
With that, the pilot, he was our pilot, returned to the plane, and me and the remaining six went into a small room off the lounge area by the gate. I had no idea what this was about. But I sure did know I was being taken off the plane.
"I have a bag on board," I said. "Do you want me to get it?"
"Did you check anything in baggage?"
The man spoke into a small microphone clipped to his lapel.
"See if he checked any bags."
"Can we see your driver's license?" another man asked.
I handed it to him.
In that room, on a rectangular conference table, was a copy of The New York Times. Folded. They brought me up close to look at it. And they stood all around me.
"Is this yours?"
"I think it is."
One of the men unfolded the paper.
"Want to explain what these papers are inside?"
"Those were newspaper articles I was working on," I said.
He slid over the articles, and I looked at the headline of one of the stories I had written the year before. It said WHICH SADDAM? Below it were seven identical photos of Saddam Hussein. Hussein, who was on the run, was making appearances here and there, but was it him?
It occurred to me that nobody knew I had written these articles. They thought somebody else had. And I had underlined all these passages in the articles in yellow highlighter. I could be a terrorist.
"I wrote these articles. I'm the editor of this weekly newspaper. It's called Dan's Papers. On eastern Long Island."
"So you CAUSED these articles about Saddam Hussein and the Ayatollah to be written?"
"No. I wrote them. I wrote them myself."
I pointed to my byline. The byline read "By Dan Rattiner."
"If you wrote these articles, why did you highlight them?"
"I was going to write another article on the plane about the war. These were the passages I was going to use as reference for the new article."
And so I launched into a complicated explanation. I was very nervous. I realized I'd have one shot at this. It had to come out right. Or I'd be going down into some terrible place for further interrogation. And from there, who knows?
"I'm AGAINST Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden." I said. "Is there something wrong with writing about Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden?"
"Some things."
"Did anybody read what I wrote? I'm an American journalist writing articles against Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein."
There was a long silence. During this time, one of the men bent over and read a passage. Then he read another passage.
"This is very plausible," he said.
"Are you sure?" another asked.
"I'm sure," the first said. "He can go back to his seat."
One of the men handed me back my driver's license and another motioned me to the door, but I wanted my stories. I went over to scoop them up, but then stopped and looked up at the man who seemed to be in charge. He nodded.
"Have a nice flight. Sorry to hold you like this."
"You can come with me," one of the men now said. "I'll go with you."
But they weren't quite done. As we started back down the ramp, this man now asked for my phone number. And so I gave it to him. And he wrote it down. Putting a tap on it, I thought.
"I don't blame you. I really don't," I said.
And so I was escorted back onto the plane and to my seat. Apparently, people had been talking about me while I had been gone. My computer bag had stayed on the floor. This man with a white beard had been taken off the plane. Was that bag a bomb?
I smiled and shrugged.
"What happened?" the woman next to me asked. Her name was Susan Winant and she was traveling with a fussy one and a half year old on her lap. And so I told her.
The bulkhead door now closed, and the plane began to move, towed backwards as it always is, out of the gate. A stewardess came over and offered me a drink.
"On the house," she said.
I told her a screwdriver would be fine. When she returned, she had the business card of the pilot, which she handed to me.
"He offered his apologies too. And he said if you need anything, just call him."
"Are you going to write about this?" Susan asked.
"Yes I am," I said.
She asked if we had a website. I gave it to her.
And so, we took off. And as we approached Washington, I mentioned to Susan and a man sitting on the other side of her from Washington that I guessed if we landed safely it would prove I wasn't a terrorist. Shortly thereafter, we did.
"See?" I said.

SUNY Canton Foundation Grant Lets Students Learn Latest Robotic Technologies
SUNY Canton students are building robots out of Lego-brand building blocks to monitor the College's Nevaldine Technology Center.
Students work with Lego-Mindstorm NXT 2.0 kits to learn the latest in robotic technology and problem solving computer programming as part of their education in the College's Canino School of Engineering Technology.
The 12 kits were purchased partially through a SUNY Canton College Foundation Campus Enhancement Award. Students use them as a resource to learn about programming interfaces and infrared sensors, according to Robert McClellan, an instructor in the alternative and renewable energy systems program.
"The Lego Mindstorm kits give the students a wonderful platform to develop a problem-solving machine designed to perform a specific task or series of tasks," McClellan said. "This is hands-on learning at its finest, and it's a lot of fun."
Groups of three or four students constructed their own small automaton, which look similar to the robot "Number 5" from the 1986 movie Short Circuit. The finished machine is connected to a computer running software that allows students issue a specific set of commands to make their robotic room monitor. The process helps students learn logical decision-making skills.
"Lego Mindstorms are used by researchers and the military in the prototyping process," said Joel M. "Miles" Canino, the grandson of the school of engineering technology namesake from Southington, Conn. "It really adds to the experiential learning opportunities available for students in the engineering technology programs."
Canino and his fiancé, Natalie A. Kurgan of Rocky River, Ohio, transferred to the College in Fall 2011 to pursue their own research in the four-year mechanical engineering technology program. The couple has had previous experience with the robotic kits in their own prosthetic limb fabrication research. "It's a challenging process to make the robots perform the complicated series of turns and analyze obstacles," she said.
The Lego kits totaled more than $5,000 and were partially funded by the College Foundation following a grant proposal by Daniel J. Miller, an assistant professor in the mechanical engineering technology program. Matthew D. Bullwinkel, an associate professor in the program, redesigned the Mechatronics course (MECH128) to include the new technology.
The SUNY Canton College Foundation awarded approximately $20,000 in funding to unique or innovative programs through Campus Enhancement Awards this academic year. The program is funded through unrestricted donations to the Foundation. The specific goals of the program are to fund innovative or creative projects that will advance student-learning opportunities or advance the College's overall mission.
In addition to the annual Campus Enhancement Awards, the College Foundation also funds student scholarships, professional development opportunities for faculty and staff, and unique learning and research fellowships.
Media inquiries should be directed to Gregory Kie, Media Relations Manager, or call 315/386-7527.

Orphan Photo # 154
Cute little photograph of Kenneth and Florence, probably siblings. Too bad there's no surname or location to work with. It looks like it was cut out of an old scrapbook (the one's with the black paper that resembles construction paper). It's glued on there pretty good so I don't want to risk damaging the photo to see if there's anything written on the back. So for now, it will remain a mystery.

Bonecrusher is a Decepticon that can be described with one word: Hate. While other Decepticons get by on greed, ambition, or just their fondness for dispensing chaos, Bonecrusher is fueled by sheer, unrelenting hate. He hates everyone and everything, be they Autobot, Decepticon, or anything in-between—he even hates himself, revolted by his misshapen, hunchbacked robot mode, which he considers a reflection of all the ugliness and malice inside himself. This full force of this vicious cycle of hatred finds release in explosive frenzied bursts of psychotic brutality, as Bonecrusher takes out the full force of his bitterness and self-loathing on anyone who looks at him sideways. He also hates Megatron, but would hate being terminated (literally) by the Decepticon leader more, so, he sticks around.
On Cybertron, Bonecrusher was actually quite a skilled tactician—dedicated to the art of war, a fast thinker who could plough into battle while others were still mapping out strategy, and, most importantly in Megatron's eyes, a masterfully dirty fighter. However, Bonecrusher's skills left him consigned to a supervisory position and kept him off the battlefield, what he hated. Naturally, this only helped to increase his already epic levels of frustration and misery at his lot in life, until he became what he is today. So intensely pent-up that he is willing to take on an opponent of any size (the bigger the better!), Bonecrusher wouldn't hesitate to confront Optimus Prime head on (or off), if he could.
- Hungarian name: Csonttörő
- Chinese name (Taiwan): Hǔei-mìeh Chě (毀滅者, "Annihilator" or "Devastator"... uh-oh...)
Ghosts of Yesterday
Bonecrusher was aboard the crew of the Nemesis, led by Starscream, who were searching for Megatron, who was lost thousands of years ago, along with the All Spark. He hated the Nemesis, but would hate trying to walk home more. He also hated the All Spark, but Megatron wanted it, so he decided not to complain. Finally, he hated Starscream, but all the other Decepticons do as well, making it something he has in common with his fellow Decepticons.
When Starscream left to go destroy an alien vessel, Bonecrusher eagerly joined Blackout's plan to attack the Ark against Starscream's orders, as there was nothing else to attack. Bypassing Optimus Prime, he headed straight for the Ark. However, Jazz and Ironhide were waiting, and unleashed hell upon him. When Blackout ordered a withdrawal, Bonecrusher reluctantly complied.
Shortly afterwards, Barricade picked Bonecrusher to lead another assault on the Ark. His only response to the command was a growl, but he disliked being in charge, as his only strategy in combat is to violently charge at the enemy and rip them apart with his bare hands. After Blackout had his exhaust port handed to him for challenging Starscream, Bonecrusher had to drag him back to the Nemesis. During the subsequent fight, Bonecrusher had to fight Ironhide, and managed to dent his armor. However, Bonecrusher does demand answers from Starscream when Blackout demands information on why the Decepticon leader wanted to destroy the alien ship. Bonecrusher was forced to drag Starscream back to the Nemesis when he was injured by the alien ship. Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday
Titan Magazines
Bonecrusher is known and has feared by Autobots for never giving up. He almost killed Jazz once and pursued him and his comrade Clocker for ages - because Bonecrusher DESPISES nice-looking shiny robots (or nice-looking anythings) and deliberately destroys them. As he says, "I figure, why should they look so nice... when I look like this!", showing he hates even himself. Clocker covered Jazz's retreat and embarrassed himself by trying to fight Bonecrusher, who laughed at this and ripped him to shreds. Transformers Comic issue 6
In an alternate reality where the Decepticons won, Bonecrusher was surprisingly still alive and is in charge of security at the Decepticon's All Spark holding facility. Although he's happy that he has his arm and head reattached, he is melancholy for having this job, as he's just a glorified drone director, and not able to kill anything himself. Thus, when he learned that Ironhide and Ratchet were trying to get into the facility, he decided to let the two Autobot infiltrators in, just so he could personally confront and kill them. So he not only dislikes his job, he's also not very good at it. Transformers Comic issue 11 His fists hated on Ironhide's face before Ratchet stepped in, tearing the Decepticon up with offensive weaponry. Arcee's team arrived to take out the Swindles, leaving Ironhide and Ratchet free to bash up Bonecrusher Transformers Comic issue 12; you'd think he'd hate this and want it to stop, but when the Autobots got pinned down by Payload drone fire, Bonecrusher tore apart his own troops to reach and kill the Autobots. He fought Ironhide again and this time lost, and may have been blown up with the All Spark. Transformers Comic issue 13
Transformers Movie Prequel
Bonecrusher was a member of Starscream's unit that was keeping Optimus Prime's reinforcements out of Tyger Pax. When Brawl arrived with news of Megatron and the All Spark, Bonecrusher insisted that they move on as they had already killed all the Autobots in the area. He then demanded that Brawl take them to Megatron or he would kill them all. Witnessing the launch of the All Spark, Barricade commented that Cybertron would die, but Bonecrusher replied that they should let it die, and that Barricade should join it in death. After Starscream and Blackout settled their differences, the group headed after Megatron.
The Decepticons made planetfall on Earth in Afghanistan, quickly attracting the attention of a nearby US military base, which sent out an armoured personnel carrier to investigate. Bonecrusher declared his satisfaction in finally having something to kill, but this chance was snatched away when Wreckage scanned the vehicle and destroyed it. He hated when that happened. Hitting the US airbase, Bonecrusher easily killed the humans before scanning a Buffalo mine-clearance vehicle. Bonecrusher hated the notion of "disguise", but hated standing out more. After scanning, he complained that there weren't enough lifeforms to kill. Planetfall
Transformers The Game
- Voice actor: Daniel Riordan
While hiding in a military base, Bonecrusher came under attack by the humans twice, and required assistance from Starscream to escape.
He is another one of those guys who mysteriously disappeared at one point or another in the Decepticon campaign. It is possible he was killed by Optimus Prime behind the scenes during the Autobot Campaign.
Transformers (2007) film
- Voice actor: Jimmie Wood (English)
- "Bonecrusher rolling..."
- ―Bonecrusher, Transfomers (2007)
Bonecrusher was hiding out in the motor pool of a military base when he received a communiqué from Starscream ordering the Decepticons to mobilize and converge on the location of the All Spark. Leaving the base, he reported that he was "rolling out". Sometime after this, he rendezvoused with Barricade and Brawl, and the three Decepticons headed off together to intercept the Autobots and their human allies who had the All Spark in their possession.
Brawl wandered off somewhere, so Bonecrusher and Barricade continued their pursuit on the freeway. Barricade activated his sirens to clear the traffic and allow them more maneuvering room. Unsatisfied with Barricade's less conspicuous method, and since he despised waiting in rush-hour traffic, Bonecrusher, with his strength, used his mine-scoop to flip cars out of his way. Surprisingly, the Autobots didn't find this out of the ordinary, and only reacted when ladiesman217 recognized Barricade and warned the Autobots. Optimus Prime, Ironhide, and Ratchet aligned to block the Decepticons from Bumblebee, who had the All Spark and the humans.
After Barricade pulled over to the side of the road, Bonecrusher transformed while still moving (after shouting Optimus' name) and skated towards the Autobots. Optimus Prime transformed and slid into position to block his path. Seeing the Autobot he really hated (and that's saying a lot), Bonecrusher smashed through a bus, and tackled Optimus Prime, pushing him off an overpass tumbling and falling off the edge, dragging the Autobot leader down with him.
When they landed, he sucker-punched Optimus Prime, who then hit Bonecrusher so hard one of the Decepticon's optics popped free from its socket. The two played a little cat-and-mouse along the overpasses. After Prime jumped down to ground level, Bonecrusher swung his claw wildly at the Autobot leader, all the while screaming incoherently. This gave Optimus the opportunity he needed to get his sword ready. When Bonecrusher came toward him, screaming "Bloody hell!" the Autobot leader cleaved Bonecrusher's right arm and, after catching him in a headlock, he ran the blade through the Decepticon's neck, nearly severing it. Optimus then wrenched Bonecrusher's head from its neck and tossed it aside, making his chances of doing just about anything zero. Transformers (2007)
Toy Bio
Still functional after his battle with Optimus (despite being beheaded), Bonecrusher managed to escape and went to hide out in the South American jungle. And while he was in the jungle, his version of relieving stress was ripping apart trees and destroying South American military convoys.
Transformers: The Ride
Bonecrusher shows up after Evac manages to escape Devastator the first time in Shanghai, China. Sideswipe arrives in stabbing Bonecrusher. Evac then gets his hand out using his gun to shoot Bonecrusher in the head two times quickly killing him.
Transformers (2007)
Legends Class toys
- Autobot Jazz vs. Bonecrusher (Legends multi-pack, 2007)
- As part of the AllSpark Battles refresh of the Movie toyline, a Legends-class Jazz with altered paint applications is repacked in a Versus two-pack with an all-new Legends class figure of Bonecrusher. In Europe and New Zealand, he was packaged individually. This figure features a rotatable claw on the right side of the vehicle and has four rolling wheels instead of six(the last two wheels don't spin like the spare tyres).
- Bonecrusher (Legends, 2008)
- An individually packaged release of the Legends class toy, released in Europe and New Zealand.
Deluxe Class toys
- Bonecrusher (Deluxe, 2007)
- Japanese ID Number: MD-09
- Bonecrusher transforms into a Buffalo mine-protected vehicle, with an articulated "mine-fork" good for removing mines, cars, other Transformers, or unsuspecting buildings from his path. The fork can change from its packaged "Grabber claw" configuration into a more fork/shovel like configuration, a fact not stated on the instructions. He has six rolling wheels in this mode, and two sculpted, non-functional spare wheels.
- In robot mode he has elements resembling both his 2005 design and the final design used in the movie, though a major deviation to both designs is that the entire front shell halves of the vehicle mode are mounted upon his arms. His arms have limited articulation due to this kibble, but can extend out into really long arms. His legs fare better, with ball jointed hips, swivel knees and ankles, but his hips can often detach from the codpiece holding them together. The mine-fork splits to form a grabber-claw, which can snap onto victims with a geared slider Automorph mechanism. He is surprisingly okay with these little tools of death. As a side-note, his head pops off very easily; allowing you to recreate his big moment from the movie.
- He is named "Bonescrusher" on the Canadian cross-sell.
apparently he is so popular than he was during the movie's release.(one of his toys was over fifty dollars used).
- Deluxe three-pack (Costco exclusive multi-pack, 2007)
- This Costco exclusive three-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe Class Bonecrusher together with equally unchanged Deluxe Class Decepticon Brawl and Autobot Jazz toys. It also comes with a nifty poster depicting all three toys in a standoff scene. Not so nifty is that the box accidentally places Brawl and Bonecrusher's bios underneath each other.
- Jungle Bonecrusher (Deluxe, 2008)
- Finally, the big guy gets a redeco, in deep forest green and olive green, as part of the "All Spark Power" refresh line. the claw arm now has a habit of popping off with little force, while the original did not. Reviewer Benson Yee pointed out that this interferes with the automorph trick, as the arm can now pop off while sliding that lever.
- Transformers Tournament Set (2007)
- Available exclusively in this set, this Attacktix playing piece of Bonecrusher is funnily enough one of the most accurate pieces of merchandise he has. The set also includes unique playing pieces of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee. everybody else has guns, and he has to use a claw.
Robot Heroes
- Ironhide vs Bonecrusher (2007)
- Bonecrusher comes packaged with the impressively-armed Ironhide. He is depicted lunging forward on his roller-skate feet, presumably to deliver an extremely enthusiastic hug. This figurine is notorious for not actually being able to stand up on its feet very well, usually requiring one of its hands to be used for balance. he's got some kind of a sneering grin, making him look almost happy, even if it's an evil, hate-filled happy.
- The real Buffalo mine-sweeping vehicle doesn't have, in fact, such a huge fork. It is only 14 inches (35 cm) wide. The image that inspired Bonecrusher's design was actually a photoshopped image put on the official Force Protection company's site to make it look more impressive. A 10-foot-wide (3m) appliance had to be fixed on Bonecrusher's arm for the movie.
- Force Protection really, really loves Bonecrusher and that he has picked their Buffalo as its alt mode. They are actually quite proud of it.
- Bonecrusher from the Beast Wars series transforms into a buffalo. An interesting coincidence given that the vehicle he transforms into in the movie is called the "Buffalo" as well.
- Bonecrusher's toy was used as a prop for a CNN Headline News report demonstrating the real Buffalo vehicle's mine-sweeping arm. He hates the Lincoln Memorial.
- Bonecrusher is Michael Bay's favorite character from the film, despite his limited screentime — so much so that Bay named his new dog after him. Although the Decepticons are generally cat people, Bonecrusher is still quite flattered.
- Bonecrusher is never discussed or mentioned in the Transformers: The Movie Guide.
- According to the DVD commentary, Bonecrusher's sequences were particularly difficult for ILM to do at first. The solution came from videotaping employees rollerblading at high speed in the parking lot, and a pair of fighting experts going through the motions wanted for Bonecrusher and Prime, then using that footage as references.
- Bonecrusher's movements seem to be heavily inspired by several types of sports including hockey (his running movements) and American football (his tackling on Optimus Prime).
- Apparently, since Bonecrusher is just a bit shorter than Optimus Prime, and Optimus Prime is (supposedly) just a bit taller than Starscream, Bonecrusher is the same size as Screamer — yet the picture above seems to contradict this.
- As seen in the "A Gathering Force" level of the game, if one destroys all the turrets holding Bonecrusher too fast, he will reach the final checkpoint before Brawl does. Unfortunately for him, the turrets can't take damage unless Brawl transforms first, so you can do nothing until Bonecrusher drops dead.
- In the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen the Game, there is a trophy/achievement called "Bonecrusher", which can be earned by reaching the top 1000 on the leaderboards.
- In Revenge of the Fallen film, a Buffalo MPV is present among the Decepticons. This Buffalo MPV Decepticon looks astonishingly like Bonecrusher, even sporting the same head design. Interestingly, Bonecrusher's corpse is not seen in the Laurentian Abyss, and the Jungle Bonecrusher toy bio depicts him as surviving the first film. However, due to the lack of any further official information, it's unknown if the Buffalo MPV Decepticon is Bonecrusher or not.
- Bonecrusher has a total of 4 lines. 1 can clearly be heard as "Die!" 2 heard as ,"Bwaugh! yah!!", "bwaugh! it, ahhh!" and " Bloody, aghh!"
- If you look carefully, you can see that exact Transformer with Bonecrusher's face killing two of the Arcee triplets with rockets.

A Couple of Nice Signs
Bisons.com noticed a pair of nice signs at Mets minor league camp today.
First was infielder Junior Spivey, who was signed by the Mets to a minor league contract. The 34-year old won a world series championship with Arizona in 2001 and has played 457 games with the Diamondbacks, Brewers and Nationals.
Bisons fans last saw him at Coca-Cola Field as part of the Pawtucket Red Sox in 2007. He did not play last season.
And, then there was the sign to the right, which hung above the door to the minor league complex. It was great to see our new logo along side the rest of the Mets minor league system. A nice touch if you ask me.

The epic fourth novel of the Sword of Shadows fantasy series
In this powerful saga of redemption and renewal, J. V. Jones brings to vivid life the magnificent tapestry of a world at once desperately fighting for survival against supernatural monsters and rent by internecine warfare. The frozen land at the north of the world was once ruled by a legendary nation of superhuman warriors. But that age has passed, leaving ancient clans to struggle for dominance as supernatural forces beyond their control threaten their very existence.
Amid the chaos of world-changing violence, unlikely heroes emerge. An unwanted warrior, a forsaken woman of power, the betrayed widow of a slain clan chief: these are the heroes rising to claim what has been taken from them and to reshape the world.
In a sharply observed narrative that illuminates these riven lives, Jones has crafted a human drama full of the excitement, suspense, and sheer storytelling power that have made the Sword of Shadows a fantasy series that transcends genre to become a memorable tale of human striving and triumph that speaks to readers as have few others.

The following is a fictionalized account of the opening of Jon Rafman's You Are Standing in an Open Field, which was on view from Sept 12 - Oct 26, 2013 at Zach Feuer Gallery in New York.
"Zach Feuer's on 22nd Street," said Thor. He looked up from his iPhone and pointed downtown.
"That sounds right," said Zoe. "A really even number. I can picture it on their website." Zoe nodded and then coughed.
I shrugged and joined them—Thor, Zoe, and my girlfriend Ann. Thor leaned over his phone.
Thor was a tall man, handsome with thick eyebrows. At twenty-two, he was a decade younger than me. Zoe, meanwhile, had sparkly eyes. I think she was Ann's age, twenty-eight. "I haven't seen anything new by Jon in a long time," she said. "I don't even know what this is going to be like."

At the start of each class session, the professor, Gardner Campbell, asked the 11 students to open their laptops, fire up Twitter, and say hello to their librarian, who was following the discussion from her office. During the hourlong class, the librarian, Ellen Hampton Filgo, would do what she refers to as "library jazz," looking at the questions and comments posed by students, responding with suggestions of links or books, and anticipating what else might be helpful that students might not have known to ask.Again from The Chronicle: Podcast: The Future of the Textbook, as Seen by Publishers
"I could see the sort of germination of an idea, and what they wanted to talk about," she said, noting that it let her in on the process of students' research far sooner than usual. "That was cool for me," she added.
"When I work with students at the reference desk, usually they're already at a certain midpoint of their research." When the class was discussing the work of the science-fiction author Clifford D. Simak, for instance, she tweeted a link to his archives at the University of Minnesota.
"One of the students said, 'Hey, is there anything like that for Rilke?'," Ms. Filgo said. "He was all excited. I don't even think he knew of the idea that a library might collect an author's papers."
"An e-book is not an engaging experience, merely replicating a textbook," say William D. Rieders, executive vice president for new media at the publishing company Cengage Learning. At the 2011 Higher Ed Tech Summit, he said this major publisher sees little future in e-books, despite the proliferation of Kindles and other e-book readers, and tablets like the iPad. The biggest areas for Cengage, he says, are software programs like homework solutions and assessment tools. Print textbooks are still healthy, but they function now as a reference for professors and students, while these other materials are taking center stage in the learning experience.Thinking about Blackboard's next business phase from Inside Higher Ed:
For those who have been watching closely, this development should not come as a surprise. Blackboard has been laying the groundwork for this second phase over the last few years, slowly absorbing e-learning companies that are not involved in learning management and rebranding them as Blackboard imprints. Blackboard Analytics, formed earlier this month after Blackboard acquired the analytics firm iStrategy, is the latest addition to Blackboard's inventory of acquisitions. It joined Collaborate, which Blackboard created last year after buying live-communications companies Wimba and Elluminate; Mobile, which Blackboard disaggregated from the Learn platform in 2009; and Connect, which Blackboard inaugurated after buying the notification company Connect-ED in 2008.Priced at .71p watching these download is thrilling - sorry. (Observer):
As far as the U.S. higher education market goes, several business analysts who monitor Blackboard described this shift as a natural phase in the evolution of a company that has reached the edge of the earth and can only continue to grow by building on existing territory (the K-12 and international higher ed markets are still rife with unclaimed lands, officials point out). When you can no longer sell your core product to additional customers, the analysts said, you have to sell additional products to your core customers — that is, if you want to keep expanding. And Blackboard, a publicly traded company, does. (Desire2Learn, a private company that also sells license-based platforms, is taking a similar tack for the same reasons, according to Kenneth Chapman, its director of product strategy.)
To maximise sales, he priced his books at Amazon's minimum for independent writers – about 70p (the equivalent of 99 cents). At this level, authors receive a cut of only 35% of the price; under Amazon's pricing structure, this rises to 70% if they price their books above the equivalent of $2.99. He then went on various forums to drum up awareness. Within a couple of weeks, all three titles were in the top 20 and "by November I'd knocked Stieg Larsson off the top spot".Suggesting that's a sideline is a bit rich.
"I knew the wave was going to break on Christmas Day. I got myself in position to take advantage, I got on and I've been riding it ever since.
"Yet while he is making significant sums just through ebook sales – "up to £11,000 a month" – he still only sees it as a sideline to his main writing career. "I never went into this to make money. I went into it as a way of widening my readership. My hope was that readers would read my book on Kindle, say, 'I really enjoyed that', then when my new thriller came out with Hodder, they'd remember it and buy that too."
Getting that copy blurb can be troublesome and it's sometimes best to be forthright (Salon):
Like yourself (no doubt) I find blurbing to be absolutely repulsive. It is crass, pathetic and couldn't be less artistic. Just so you know, I am only doing this because the more I think about it, the more I would like to make a lot of money. Full disclosure: I named my conjoined Siamese cats Tommy and Pinchie. Tommy just died, which has made movement difficult for Pinchie. But she pushes on like a feline boat against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past (F. Scott Fitzgerald). Like blurbs, an author's choice of title is very important for sales. Take "Gravity's Rainbow." That is a terrific title. Why? Because it tells you exactly what the book is about. I would like to think that my book's title does the same: Cream of America Soup.Jefferson's lost books found in Missouri (JacketCopy):
It turns out they've been there since 1880, when Jefferson's granddaughter, Ellen Wayles Randolph Coolidge, and her husband donated them to the university. They were part of a collection sold two years after Jefferson's death, and acquired by Ellen's husband through a friend; the family was particularly interested in books in which Jefferson had made notes. Although a pair of scholars turned up the 69 new books, more researchers than that have been on the case.And it's always good to remember the British like a good bonfire.
Like many historical and well-known readers, Jefferson's library has been reconstructed online by volunteers at LibraryThing. There you can find the details of Jefferson's own cataloging of his books, as well as more information about his collections, sales and distributions.
Speaking of liking it hot here's a look at a new book that brings to light some of Marilyn Monroe's lost files (Telegraph):
What is certain is that sometime on the night of 4 August the cabinet in the guest cottage was broken into, and that crucial files were removed – perhaps pertaining to Monroe's relationship with the Kennedys and their links with the Mafia boss Sam Giancana, perhaps to her contractual arrangements with Twentieth Century-Fox.From the twitter this week:
How did these immensely valuable cabinets manage to vanish for so long only to resurface in a quiet corner of suburban California? The key to the mystery is Inez Melson, Monroe's business manager in the mid-1950s, guardian of Monroe's schizophrenic mother, and, following Monroe's death, administrator of her Los Angeles holdings.
In the days and weeks after Monroe died Melson, who received nothing in Monroe's will (the bulk of the estate and her personal effects were left to Lee and Paula Strasberg, her acting coaches), made sure the filing cabinets ended up in her possession.

Rance River Flowing Between Dinard and Saint-Malo, France48.6N 2W
The long, wide identation visible on the northwestern coast of France in this ASAR image is the Rance, flowing into the English Channel between Dinard and Saint-Malo. Before reaching the Channel, its waters are barred by a 750 metre long dam forming the Rance tidal power plant.
Here, the cities of Saint-Malo and Dinard can be seen by the rivermouth, with the former on the right bank and the latter on the left bank. Saint-Malo is a walled port city in Brittany in northwestern France on the English Channel. It is a sub-prefecture of the Ille-et-Vilaine. Dinard is a commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany in north-western France. It is on the Côte d'Émeraude of Brittany.

I sat today and was going to post a Lao Tzu poem, The Uses of Not. I typed a short preamble and realized it was a Sabbath poem. Sometimes it is in paradox I find the most sense. It is in questions that I deepen conversations. I am in service of the questions. Earlier this week, I said I spent much of my life chasing answers. This is an echo of Father Richard Rohr who says maturity leads us to stop chasing certainty. I seek eloquent questions with no ready answers: and invite others into conversations. I might have used pirate, but I began reading Shambhala:The Path of the Sacred Warrior by Chögyam Trungpa recently and it offered a new understanding, for me, of the word warrior.
Seemingly incompatible tempest
Space invites space
Forms a spacious meadow.
Deepen conversations–
Without ready answers;
But, eloquent questions
Be open, surprised.
A warrior's quest–
Lighten the load
Be grateful and receive the gifts
Serve the journey.
Shape paths–
Ready each step
Because it is right
And not fully known.

The U.S. premiere of Retro Game Master, the Japanese TV series that forces "middle management" comedian Shinya Arino to play Japan's most popular and difficult video games often in a single marathon session, hits Kotaku this week.
The weekly series kicks off with an airing of a classic hour-long episode from season four of the show, originally known as Game Center CX, which pits the affable Arino against the original Ninja Gaiden.
Released in Japan in 1988 on the Famicom to coincide with the release of an arcade game by the same name, Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden featured 20 levels spread over six acts and a final act that required beating three bosses without dying.
In this episode of Retro Game Master, we watch Arino's marathon gaming session condensed to a one hour show. This first U.S. airing of the episode includes English captions for Arino and English dubbing for his off-camera announcer.
The show goes live only on Kotaku at 8 p.m. eastern this Thursday and will be followed by a 11 more weekly episodes "airing" on Kotaku at the same time and day through September. And unlike with television, these episodes will stick around on our site so you can watch them at your own leisure.
Game Center CX produced 15 seasons of gaming content in Japan, with Arino playing through dozens of Famicom, Super Famicom, PC Engine and Mega Drive games.
The show also spawned two original games, one of which, Retro Game Challenge for the Nintendo DS, came to North America.

New products introduced over the last week include a new free Web-based 401(k) advisory service for consumers from CoPiloted and a new Quantified Funds family from Flexible Plan Investments.
In addition, Advent and Schwab announced a collaborative effort to allow the former's Black Diamond platform to integrate with the latter's OpenView Gateway.
Here are the latest developments of interest to advisors:
1) Schwab Advisor Center data now accessible within Advent's Black Diamond
Thanks to a collaboration between Advent Software (ADVS) and Charles Schwab (SCHW), advisors can now access specific intraday data from Schwab's Advisor Center within Advent's Black Diamond platform. The Black Diamond portfolio management, reporting and rebalancing platform has been successfully integrated with Schwab's OpenView Gateway so that the availability of custodial data has been extended to include intraday information, account profiles, reports, and operational alerts to streamline clients' daily workflows.
In addition to this integration, clients using other Advent solutions and accessing data feeds through Charles Schwab and Advent Custodial Data will now experience a higher level of data quality and an improved user experience with a new version of the interface.
2) CoPiloted Launches Free 401(k) Advisory Service
CoPiloted, a new Web-based financial services startup located in Boston and Seattle, has launched its free 401(k) advisory service. The CoPiloted service helps users make intelligent investment decisions in their 401(k), 403(b), IRA and other retirement accounts. The free service makes it easy for consumers to provide information about themselves, their financial situation, and their retirement plans, and then receive a personalized investment recommendation.
Each CoPiloted recommendation combines users' individual needs, their specific plan options and constraints, and recent market conditions, with recent advances in investment research. Users can regularly visit www.copiloted.com to get updated recommendations on how to adjust their accounts to incorporate changes in market conditions and in their personal situation, while adhering to plan rules and minimizing fees. In addition, there is no need to move an account to use the service.
3) Flexible Plan Investments Launches the Quantified Funds Family
Flexible Plan Investments, Ltd. has launched the Quantified Funds family, which consists of the Quantified All Cap Equity Fund (QACFX), Quantified Alternative Investment Fund (QALTX), Quantified Managed Bond Fund (QBDSX), and Quantified Market Leaders Fund (QMLFX). Flexible Plan made the strategic decision to dissolve the Evolution Funds the firm previously managed and create a new fund group with a more competitive fee structure and greater growth potential.
The four funds currently available closely mirror their predecessor funds under the similar Evolution Fund names. Each fund's investment objective and purchase requirements are nearly identical to those of its predecessor fund. Flexible Plan's previous management has enabled the firm to successfully transfer nearly all of the Evolution Funds' assets into the Quantified Funds. The funds seek to generate high appreciation on an annual basis consistent with a high tolerance for risk.

In a recent interview with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com), Roy Nelson made no secret of his disdain for UFC President Dana White.
Nelson, currently in Las Vegas to film "The Ultimate Fighter 16" as a head coach, said his rift with White has gotten worse "because he wants to be a fighter, and he's not."
In response to the comments, White reiterated his stance that the UFC heavyweight contender and "TUF 10" champion is tolerable only in small doses.
During his time in the UFC, the former IFL champion and three-time UFC "Knockout of the Night" winner has crossed paths with White only occasionally. But with the outspoken Nelson heading a squad on "TUF 16," which debuts next month on FX, White, who's also part of the show, sees him often.
Perhaps too often.
"Him saying [expletive] like that goes along with what I said about the stupid [expletive] that comes out of this guy's mouth," White said. "The difference is I (now) have to hear it three days a week. When he fights randomly three times a year, I have to hear it in small spurts. Now I've got to listen to dumb [expletive] three days a week."
Nelson (17-7 MMA, 4-3 UFC), who coaches against Shane Carwin (12-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) and then meets him at the show's live finale in December, said the recent on-set conflict stemmed from his choices for his assistant coaching staff, which initially included Olympic gold medalist and pro-wrestling veteran Kurt Angle, former Strikeforce champ Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal, and convicted steroid dealer turned anti-steroid advocate Victor Conte. He's since reworked the list to include current UFC fighters such as Jake Shields, Nate Diaz and Nick Diaz, as well as Strikeforce champ Gilbert Melendez.
"I'm always at the back of the bus when it comes to the UFC," Nelson said. "I'm just trying to further MMA to the next level, hold journalism up to higher standards, holding fights to higher standards, holding promotions to higher standards, holding athletic commissions to higher standards, and even holding the fans to higher standards."
White, though, suggested the reason for their beef is much more simple: Nelson is just an annoying person.
"Do you think that going into this that I didn't think Roy Nelson was going to annoy the [expletive] out of me?" White asked. "I mean, that's what he does – he's annoying. He's annoying, and the stuff that comes out of his mouth makes no sense.
"He's Roy Nelson, that's why."
