Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
As low oil prices make naphtha cracking margins in Europe and Asia more competitive, are investments in new, ethane-based petrochemicals capacity in the US and Middle East becoming less attractive?
Yes, ethane cracking is less economical
No, ethane cracking is still the future

Allen Park � Ndamukong Suh wants to move on. He says he doesn�t want to dwell on the past, even as it catches up to him � again.
His head coach, Jim Schwartz, was saying the same Wednesday, a day after Suh, the Lions� Pro Bowl defensive tackle, was fined $100,000 by the NFL for an illegal block in Sunday�s season-opening win against the Vikings.
Here�s the problem, though: Suh can appeal the fine, as he is � and as he should. Frankly, I wouldn�t be surprised if he gets a slightly discounted rate in the end. But he can�t escape his past � at least not for the foreseeable future � any more than the Lions can escape their own.
And trying to separate the two � the star player and his coach, the individual and the team, perception from reality, the past from the present � isn�t just an exercise in futility. It�s also the kind of dissociative behavior that got them in trouble in the first place, enabling the reckless play that earned Suh a league-wide reputation as a dirty player and the Lions a bad-boy image that has become synonymous with Schwartz�s tenure in Detroit.
Like it or not, fair or unfair, those are labels that stick. They also come with warnings, however, and to whatever extent the Lions ignored them, they did so at their own future expense.
Suh, the No. 2 overall pick in 2010, was fined five times in his first two NFL seasons even before he was slapped with a two-game suspension for his infamous Thanksgiving Day stomp of the Packers� Evan Dietrich-Smith in 2011. And it was painfully clear in the response to some of those incidents � both from Suh and his superiors � that the message wasn�t getting through.
Martin Mayhew, the Lions general manager, admitted as much after the 2011 season, saying, �Looking back on it, probably not enough people talked to him in those situations.�
Schwartz, for his part, never acknowledged that. Suh�s defensive coordinator, Gunther Cunningham, really didn�t, either. As the latter put it back in August 2011, shortly after Suh was fined $20,000 for a preseason hit on Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, �The problem with the league is they�ve never seen a tackle like this. That�s their problem.�
Maybe so, but the Lions� problems run deeper than that. Because just like Suh, who�s undoubtedly facing another suspension the next time he�s subject to supplementary discipline, their fist-pumping, chest-bumping, Tom Brady-taunting, challenge flag-throwing reputation precedes them. And follows them like a shadow.
The Lions lead the league with 116 personal-foul penalties since 2009, when Schwartz and his staff took over in Detroit, according to STATS LLC. (The Eagles are a distant second with 99 in that span.) And while the Lions cut their season total from 37 and 35 in 2010 and �11, respectively, to 21 last season, I�m not sure anyone cared to notice, especially after a 4-12 finish that followed a rash of offseason player arrests.
�When you think about this football team, the Detroit Lions, they play to the echo of the whistle now,� former NFL coach Herm Edwards said on ESPN radio Wednesday. �I mean, this is how they play.�
Play. Played. Whatever.
Lions are targeted
�It doesn�t matter if it�s Suh, myself or even the quietest guy on the team,� said Nate Burleson, the Lions veteran wide receiver. �There�s a perception that Detroit football players are a little rough around the edges.�
He paused, and added, �So we don�t want to give anybody any ammunition to shoot at us unfairly.�
Insert your own pellet gun joke here, I suppose. And feel free to repeat Schwartz�s defiant postgame comment about all the penalties his team committed. (�I�m not going to apologize for anything this team did,� the coach said.)
But whatever they�ve done to deserve it, Burleson�s right: The Lions do have a target on their backs. And it hardly matters if Suh�s really the league�s dirtiest player or merely the easiest target, after going from a league-high five personal fouls as a rookie � and four more in 2011 � to just one last season.
�I think he has adapted from a couple years ago,� Schwartz argued Wednesday, before adding the obvious � that this latest NFL verdict was as severe as it was �because of what happened in his past.�
Suh seemed to suggest that wasn�t fair when he was asked about his repeat-offender status clouding the judgment.
�Really, you�ve got to ask the league that question,� he said. �Whether they wanted to make a decision off my reputation or off of this year or whatever it may be � it�s the first game of the year, so I don�t know.�
Critics let loose
Surely, though, he knows. He knows every time he toes the line or crosses it, he�ll hear from his critics first, and then from the league.
After Suh�s dangerous � and unnecessary � low block on the Vikings� John Sullivan on Sunday, current and former players immediately started the mud-flinging Monday. �Enough is enough,� Saints tight end Ben Watson said. Ex-Bengals quarterback Boomer Esiason, now a CBS analyst, called Suh a �thug� and said a six-game suspension was warranted. Jeff Saturday, the retired six-time Pro Bowl center from the Colts, called Suh a �dirty player.�
�Every player that plays against him knows it,� said Saturday, now working for ESPN. �What he does and continues to do is ridiculous.�
Suh, who was elected a first-time captain by his teammates just last week, wasn�t interested in defending himself publicly Wednesday. He knows that�s a game he won�t win, and he �graciously� requested the media let him focus on one he can, Sunday at Arizona.
�You�re never gonna change people,� he shrugged.
Maybe not, but he � and his team, from the head coach on down � better keep trying.

Conservatives on the Supreme Court have had their way and have stricken down the heart of the voting rights act. They perversely reason that because the law has worked so well to stop efforts by many states to inhibit voting by minorities, that it is no longer needed.
Millions of Americans, like myself, are justifiably angered and disgusted by this travesty. The silver lining may turn out to be the fact that we can change this situation. We simply have to get out and vote. 2012 proved that people are pretty much willing to walk through fire in order to vote.
In spite of the fact that hundreds of anti-voting laws will be filed in the coming months, we simply must do what it takes to vote this poison out of our system. If you sat at home during the non-presidential elections, then the only person to blame for the unjust and poisonous atmosphere in this great country today is you. Vote in every election.

Sinclair Theatre student Patrick Hayes won the Regional Costume Project Award for his design of Hamlet at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival held Jan 3-8 at the University of Illinois. In addition, Hayes won the Make-up Design Award for his participation in the festival's Design Storm competition.
Les Dersham, who graduated from Sinclair's Theatre Technology program last fall, received a Certificate of Merit for his scenic design of I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change (the first in Sinclair's new Studio Series). Abigail Willis received a Certificate of Merit for her dramaturgy for The Women of Lockerbie.
Sixteen Sinclair Theatre students participated in the annual festival. Four Irene Ryan Acting Award nominees competed with their partners among 250 candidates from undergraduate and graduate programs across a five-state region. The teams included: Chris Hahn/John Ray, Angela Dermer/Allison Husko, Isaac Hollister/Josh Smith and Jenna Burnette/Michael Marvin.
Becca Sebree and Shelley Bookheimer also presented costume designs in the Theatre Technology Division. Six students: Patrick Hayes, Olivia Ciupak, Joselane Robinson, Patty Smith, Becca Sebree and Shelley Bookheimer took part in the new on-site competition, Design Storm. Students also took part in workshops covering topics from acting and playwriting to lighting, set design, costumes and stage flight.
The Festival also offers opportunities to see 8 fully-realized productions presented by colleges and universities across the region including several original works, musicals, dramas and a restoration comedy.
"The week is packed with theatre and networking opportunities for our students," says Stephen Skiles, Chair of Sinclair Theatre and Dance. "We are extremely proud of our students and continuing our long history of participating in KCACTF."

By the way this would be a great way to access all of the previous LSATs from the last 20+ years.
Quote from: FZacharyJ on June 04, 2013, 08:23:25 PM By the way this would be a great way to access all of the previous LSATs from the last 20+ years.Actually no, it isn't a great way to access and use LSAT PrepTests. It is a pencil and paper test with questions where it is frequently useful to write things down and mark up the questions, especially in the logic games section. Trying to do serious prep, practice and studying for the LSAT on the small screen of an android or iPhone would be really dumb for many many reasons. Preparing for the LSAT properly includes working practice questions and taking practice tests printed on paper. Thanks for shilling the product though FZacharyJ, sales not going well?

From reading your posts it seems as though we are attempting to do the same thing. My daughter is 6 months old and we have not been breastfeeding since she was three months. The lactation consultant suggested that though the medela mini electric is a good pump for moms with milk to spare, for relactating you need a hospital grade pump. I know in Canada you can rent the Medela symphony (the one I am currently very up close and personal with). She said if I couldn't find a rental pump the Medela freestyle or Pump-in-Style are fairly good alternatives. It is also best to pump both sides at once.

Eastern Michigan coach Ron English speaks during a visitation for Demarius Reed at the Salem House of Hope in Chicago, Ill., on Friday. / Associated Press
HARVEY, ILL. — Demarius Reed was supposed to be playing football today for Eastern Michigan.
Instead, he was remembered at a funeral service 60 miles away from the Eagles game at Northern Illinois.
I expected to see him on the field today, instead (were) here, his mother, Tanesha Reed, said. But, its OK. Its OK because God has spoken.
Demarius Reed, whose funeral was held at Holy Temple Cathedral in Harvey, was fatally shot Oct. 18 at an off-campus apartment building in Ypsilanti, Mich. He was shot multiple times, and items were taken from his pockets, The Ann Arbor News reported. Robbery was a possible motive in the crime.
D-Reed was the best and brightest, who exemplified what a student-athlete should be, Harvey Mayor Eric Kellogg said.
Reeds family sat together in the front row, a few feet away from his casket. A 4-foot tall photo of Reed carrying a football was placed next to it, WBBM radio reported.
Local funeral home owner Spencer Leak said the outpouring of support from the community was a testament to Reeds family and the way they raised him.
You two are the most beautiful couple, he said, and I know the apple doesnt fall far from the tree.
Reed, 20, played in six games for Eastern Michigan this season, catching 15 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown. He was a communications major at the Ypsilanti school and starred as a receiver at Chicagos Simeon Career Academy.

I'm going on a long international trip and I need a stove.I bought the new Soto Muka but was not impressed. I was connecting the fuel line to the fuel canister whilst on the dirt ground and the head of the fuel line briefly touched the ground. I blew off the grit and dirt, but I think some grit had entered the fuel line and clogged it. There is no way to unclog the line in the field so I was screwed. Stove is dead. Plus it has a part called the Generator Unit that the manual says needs to be replaced every 20 liters of fuel. About 100ml is used to run the burner for 25 minutes for real cooking. If it takes 25 minutes to boil a stew or make pasta or something, and you do that twice a day, the stove will last all of 3 months before you have to replace the entire generator unit. There is no way to field clean the unit. The manual says it is precision engineered and just needs to get replaced since any attempt to clean it will not fully do so.I want a stove that uses gasoline and an array of other easily available fuels that is reliable but also more importantly, serviceable in the field in case it gets clogged or something. I think modern stoves are like a modern car engine - they work very well, all the custom parts fit perfectly, and are very high performance, but if you need to fix it yourself in the bush or jerry rig something you are screwed.
MSR Dragonfly. I've only used gas in mine, simmers great and for a long time, very adjustable, add a Berniedawg cap, nice and quiet and still simmers great.Duane
Thank you. Totally field serviceable? Any need to buy replacement parts or can everything be cleaned, including hoses and jets?
Edited by babybunny on 05/01/2013 06:52:53 MDT.
I highly recommend the SVEA123r. It needs routine maintenence about every 10 years and a rebuild every 30-40 years or so. It is the MOST reliable and dependable stove I know of. The stove alone weighs about 17oz. It varies considerably, about 2 ounces though. The cup is often included in the weight, though. This is only slightly heavier than the origonal Jet Boil (15oz without fuel canisters.) Add in a 3-7/8oz grease pot & spoon and you have a complete cooking system for about 26 ounces. Add a 12oz bottle of WG and you have a complete setup for about two weeks for about 34ounces: stove, pot, lid, cup, and spoon. You can generally get gasoline anywhere, and it will burn car gas, though not recommended. Field service is nearly nonexistant. Once in a while, the saftey valve can pop if the stove is overheated (In the sun at >100F and cooking on high.) Simply tap it to restore the function, again, if it does not close correctly. The self cleaning needle keeps the jet free of debris. There is only the generator to clog up, but the valve screw, jet cleaner, runs through it providing a self cleaning function. Never had a problem with it. A small amount of acetone or alcohol (10%) can be mixed with WG to clean things out after a couple weeks of running on auto fuel. This is the only maintenece I know of and only if you use auto fuel as happens when you travel abroad.
There's always the time-proven MSR XGK: multi-fuel, comes with alternate jets, easy to break down and clean. There are some replacement parts that come in the rebuild kit, but it's highly field-serviceable. It's heavier than that Dragonfly above and, if you don't like the F-14 sound, you'll want one of those silencer heads referenced, also, but it's generally bombproof.
Travelled all over the world with mine and have great memory of changing a cracked o-ring on a Presidential Traverse in -20 weather with very cold fingers. Fully field serviceable but hardly ultralight.
All I would say is I wouldn't burn regular gasoline unless it is really a last resort. Depending on where you are travelling to, the Gasoline can be extremely dirty and is the last thing (besides diesel) that I would ever want to use to cook with. The Primus Omnilite Ti would get my vote over the dragonfly. Primus has a very good track record so I think this would be a very safe bet (I have not used it for prolonged periods of time though, but would put my trust in it). It is lighter and packs quite a bit smaller than the dragonfly and I find is just generally more pleasant to use. Also I believe it is more fuel efficient. One bonus is that it will burn gas canisters whereas the dragonfly will not. This means if possible for any side trips or for when you return home, that you can leave the fuel pump at home saving 3.5 ounces or more. Exact weights here http://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/primus_omnilite_ti_multifuel_stove.htmlMSR Dragonfly: Used mine for months straight and is as reliable as anything. You can get a repair kit for it which has everything you are likely to need to replace. it;s heavy thoughExact weights here http://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/msr_dragonfly_multifuel_stove_with_591ml_fuel_bottle.htmlThey both allow simmering, but sound like freaking jet engines most of the time so you might want to get a silent cap for them (http://www.ebay.com/itm/QUIETSTOVE-SILENT-BURNER-MUTER-DAMPER-CAP-4-MSR-DRAGONFLY-STOVE-/321117975303?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ac41f7307) if you need to be stealthy for any reason. For an extended trip, fuel usage is quite often the key factor in saving weight so maybe also get a pan with a heat exchanger. Oh and don't forget that if you are going somewhere extremely cold, the plastic fuel pump components may fail on you so maybe take some extra spares.

I've certainly heard good things about the Svea 123 - but only have direct experience with the venerable Coleman 533 dual fuel sportster. A buddy has one and I've used it with him a few times - his is a decade or so old and runs like a top with no servicing. Like the Svea you see various permutations still selling in working condition on that auction site from the 60's. Not the prettiest but less expensive than the 123 and certainly the multifuel MSR/Optimus models.http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-1-Burner-Sporter-Liquid-Stove/dp/B0009PUQAU
I looked into the SVEA and I thought that using gasoline was a big no-no?
The old Svea 123's are great, but only use white gas, auto gas will cause big issues. Optimus makes a few stoves, but I've seen folks have some issues with a stove here and there.Duane
Forgot to add the Coleman specifically can use unleaded gas... one reason it's a popular stove with motorcycle tourers/campers.
Edited by PGAsby on 05/01/2013 09:07:00 MDT.
Thanks. So comparing the XGK and the Dragonfly, the XGK is basically a jet engine. It has no simmer option. Therefore it's not really good for actual cooking, as would be the case for long term international living that has a mix of backpacking and car camping, right? I am impresses by the service record though - apparently there are still XGRs floating around from the 1970s.... Whereas my Soto broke after 2 weeks.The Dragonfly is just as bombproof and field serviceable without the need for replacement parts? Even the hose? The Dragonfly apparently can simmer. I'm envisioning a situation where I never have to buy replacement parts (sourcing is the problem if you're in the middle of Africa, for example) and I can just scrub out parts with water and my Leatherman and be good to go again.
Oh, I see. But the new SVEA with the self cleaning magnetic needle thing can use gasoline just fine?
I'm really liking the Omnilight Ti.Uses more types of fuel than the MSRs, lighter, can use my existing canisters, can simmer, is a little less in the BTU department, but I'm just not sure about the reliability and the serviceability.I hear of MSRs from the 1970s. I have no idea on the Primus stuff though, especially the Omnilite which is new. Again, if something clogs like a fuel line or a jet in the bush, I need to fix it with water, a multi tool, and sticks, essentially. Sorry to keep hammering this point in. I'm still not happy with my Soto breaking. I had to drive 1.5 hours back to Denver in the middle of the night to get to an REI so I can return this thing after spending 2 hours in the dark taking apart this thing and trying to fix it.
"Oh, I see. But the new SVEA with the self cleaning magnetic needle thing can use gasoline just fine?"Ha, hay...the cleaning needle is mechanical. Turn the key well beyond full and it will push it's way through the jet, cleaning it. No shaker jet technology... way too complicated. You can use auto fuel with it, as with most WG stoves. WG is usually pentane & hexane with some other volotiles in it. No oxygenators, detergents, and other additives. It burns very cleanly with no soot. Auto gas is mostly hexane, septane with small amounts of octane and other volotiles. It has additives, detergents, oxygenators, octane-boosters in it. These do nothing for the stove, 'cept slow the burning down a bit, and, leave a sooty residue. The oxygenators(?) can lead to break down of plastic and rubber parts. The SVEA 123r doesn't have any, except at the fill cap. The valve gasket is graphite, which is not effected by auto-fuel. Avoid breathing the fumes, of course. Cooking/boiling water should always be done with a lid. The fill-cap should last about a year or so if you use auto fuel a lot. I simply used cut up cardboard for a few weeks till I could get a new one after about 20 years. But, I only occasionally use auto-fuel. Auto-fuel does NOT burn as hot as WG...about the same as WG on medium. Use the cheapest, lowest octane fuel for it...it usually has the fewest additives. There are a number of other things that CAN be burned. In a pinch, and for short runs to boil 3-4 cups of water, benzene, acetone, and others can work. These also produce bad combustion byproducts...or, can be harmfull by themselves. MSR stoves are generally not too good with auto fuels...too many rubber and plastic parts that will go bad. The SVEA is a simple stove using simple physics to work. There is very little to break, hence the extremely high reliability and durability. I have dropped an armload of firewood on mine, it still works, though I had to straighten out some dents. Extreme overheating, running it totally out of fuel on high, can damage the internal wick. So, fill it before every use. It will run about an hour on high, but I have never needed to run it that long. Running out at lower flame settings does not seem to hurt it. It is capable of cooking for four, but, really, is a two person stove. The weight can be a bit much for a solo hiker.
The omnilite ti is new, but as far as I am aware the fuel pump and burner mechanism is identical to the primus omnifuel which has been around for a while. The only difference that I'm aware of is that some of the exterior components are smaller and made from titanium hence the reduced weight. Here is a comparison between the two http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88930From what I have read, the omnifuel is just as reliable as the dragonfly if not more so. One benefit to the omnifuel/omnilite is that it has a metal fuel pump shaft as opposed to the msr plastic one which is probably more prone to failure from dropping it etc. http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/forum/gear/msr-dragonfly-vs-primus-omnifuel/34103.htmlAs for spare parts etc. I guess it depends on how vitally important it is to have your stove functioning 100% of the time. If it is crucial for staying alive (boiling water etc), I'd say that extreme circumstances require extreme precautions so just take a backup stove, all the possible spares you might need and steripen and filter etc. for water.

I agree with the old school of thought. I took my Optimus 8R on a cycle tour of Iceland and ran it on all sorts of scrounged fuel. In my experience the 8R runs just fine on auto gas.In fact, in preparation for that trip I experimented and cooked all my meals over the 8R for a week using auto gas as fuel, and had zero problems. Note - In my experience the 8R burns considerably hotter on auto gas than it does on white gas! It may just have been my stove - Note - Use the lowest octane gas available!I have experienced flame shooting out of the safety valve on my stove several times. Each time the stove was being used with a large several gallon pot and was left turned up as high as it could go and was left unattended. Used properly, there is little danger of this happening, and it is easily extinguished anyway ( Blow out the flame and let it cool! ).I don't own a Svea yet, but I understand it is near perfection in a small gas stove. I look forward to owning one some day. It certainly is lighter than the steel cased 8R. A stove very similar to the 8R that I have always wanted is the Optimus 99. Same working guts, just housed in an aluminum box. The lid serves as a nifty pot.

Many stove users DO NOT recommend using auto gas, it will clog everything up. Use it in a pinch. A couple coleman stoves are made to use unleaded gas, not sure how much servicing they need. MSR is well known around the world, I have many old G,s, GK's, X-GK's etc. they still run great. Use white gas/Coleman fuel, they'll be fine. Most of my old stoves still had the old yellow pumps, easily rebuilt if needed, in plastic to boot. Don't be fooled by the plastic, although MSR had a run of a few years that had bad pumps, the blue/red ones were the worst. I've sent two of those back to Cascade Designs for exchanges. Even then, the pump can still be used as it did not affect the pumping, just the plunger would not stay in because the ears that hold the pump in place would crack. I have three of the Optimus pumps that work on the Nova, 11 Explorer etc. the tubing can come off of them and the NRV can come loose from the end, rendering the pump unusable.Duane
Gah, I'm getting really undecided here:Primus OmniLite Ti - includes mini fuel bottle, metal pump, 12 oz (341 g) with pump, can use canisters, auto gas (petrol), kerosene, diesel, butane/canister, jet fuelPrimus OmniFuel - higher heat output than OmniLite, does not include fuel bottle, 15.6 oz (441 g) with pump, can use canisters, auto gas (petrol), kerosene, dieselMSR WhisperLite International - packed weight 15.6 oz (441 g), auto gas (petrol), kerosene, jet fuel, dieselOptimus Nova + - 15 oz (431 g), kerosene, diesel fuel, jet (aviation) fuel, Optimus Arctic Fuel, and othersMSR DragonFly - stove + pump - 13.8 oz (395g), kerosene, diesel, naphtha, aviation (AV) gas, stoddard solvent, auto gas (petrol)MSR WhisperLite Universal - minimum weight - stove, fuel pump, all adaptors and jets - 13.7 oz (388 g), canister fuel, white gas, kerosene, and unleaded auto fuelI am so confused...
Yeah, I believe the jets can get fouled very easy, since the regular auto-gas can develop a varnish. Again, The 123r has a pin that pokes it out from the INSIDE. You may have to do that every lighting with some fuels. Unleaded, seems to be OK, just burns a bit slower, starts sooty, but it runs OK. The older regular gas would burn much slower due to the additives, I think. Something about raising the octane also slows the burning. After a week or so, add a little alcohol or acetone(nail polish remover) to clean it out. It will burn pure acetone, but may pop the safety after 10 minutes or so with a wider pot. Not a big deal if you are stuck for fuel. Anyway, auto-gas is nearly universal thrughout the world.

A Filipino staff sergeant talks with a Marine during Amphibious Landing Exercise 2013 in the Philippines. (Sgt. Matthew Troyer / Marine Corps)
- Filed Under
Marines may soon head to the Philippines on rotational deployments as U.S. and Philippine officials discuss strengthening an already tight military partnership to counter Chinas rise to a major regional power.
The talks center on an access agreement that would allow the U.S. to temporarily base Marines and sailors at military facilities there. Navy ships would be allowed to dock in Subic Bay, the former U.S. naval base that was closed in the early 1990s. That could give the U.S. door-step access to the contested South China Sea.
Laura Seal, a spokeswoman with the State Department, said an access agreement would increase opportunities for joint military training and exercises and allow the pre-positioning of equipment and supplies, enabling the U.S. to respond quickly to disasters. Air Force Maj. Rebecca Garcia, a public affairs officer with U.S. Pacific Command, said both governments are looking for ways enhance training to increase interoperability for defense, humanitarian assistance and disaster response, counterterrorism and nonproliferation.
Thousands of Marines already participate in training events with their Filipino counterparts. By the end of fiscal year 2013, more than 4,200 Marines will have participated in various exercises in the Philippines, said Chuck Little, deputy director of public affairs with Marine Corps Forces Pacific.
While Little declined to comment on what this type of arrangement might mean for Marines, retired Air Force Col. Carl Baker, who studies the Philippines closely as a Hawaii-based defense expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said it could mean short-term rotations for several thousand troops so they could participate in more small-scale training events in the country.
The potential longer-term presence of U.S. troops in the Philippines is still a touchy issue two decades after the U.S. left its huge, long-standing bases there, including Naval Station Subic Bay and Clark Air Base. Officials with both countries say the push is part of an attempt to work more closely together not an invitation to re-establish former bases or a permanent presence.
Baker said the talks are a sign that officials in the Philippines clearly recognize an existential maritime threat from China.
For them, its a significant shift away from the internal focus on terrorism and counterterrorism threats [toward] a focus on external defense, which is a significant shift for the Philippine defense establishment, Baker said.
An agreement would mark the realization of U.S. officials long-held desire for more systematic access to the former U.S. bases.
Meanwhile, major annual exercises with the Philippines are scheduled to continue. Marines take part in two major bilateral exercises, Balikatan and Amphibious Landing Exercise (PHIBLEX), Little said, and several smaller training events that aim to develop expertise in disaster response, logistics or tactical air control.
Baker said he expects more air exercises as the Philippine government invests in rebuilding its air force. A stronger emphasis on island defense is also likely, much like the amphibious training Japanese forces recently conducted with Marines off the coast of California, Exercise Dawn Blitz.
I havent seen any evidence of this yet, but I would anticipate that the Philippines would push for that sort of activity ground forces trying to engage in some sort of expeditionary or maritime, from the sea, kind of activity, Baker said.

Normal is an illusion. What is normal to the spider, is chaos for the fly.
In fairness, one thing about micro-distilleries is that they stir up a lot of loyalty in their local communities. The biggest issue I have with that post is that it is an endorsement of a whiskey made by someone who doesn't know anything about whiskey, but is just spouting some words he heard someplace.

Waging war against meth, West Virginia police officers get meth lab training.
Network Environmental Systems of California led the training all week.
Sgt. Michael Baylous from the West Virginia State Police says officers learned the different methods to make methamphetamine and how to detect and dismantle meth labs.
They also learned safety when approaching these type of scenes.
"Used to be we had to send officers out of state to get training and to my knowledge this is the first training of this type to be offered here at the West Virginia State Police Academy," Baylous says. "We have about 40 officers across the state that took advantage of this training. About 14 or 15 of them are West Virginia State Troopers."
Baylous says other agencies across the state were also represented.
The training allows officers to be more efficient and more effective as they respond to meth labs and to collect the evidence needed to prosecute.

Fort Norfolk is the last remaining of 19 harbor-front forts authorized in 1794 by President George Washington.
Stepping through the fort's arched entryway transports visitors to another era. The fort's four-acre site overlooks the Elizabeth River and includes earthwork embankments, ramparts, a dungeon, officers' quarters, powder magazine, barracks, and guardhouse. Most structures in the fort date to 1810.
The fort helped protect Norfolk during the War of 1812. In the Civil War, Confederate forces seized the fort and used its magazine to supply the CSS Virginia (Merrimack) during its battle with the USS Monitor. In 1862 the fort was recaptured by the Union Army and used as a prison. Later it was an ordnance depot for the Navy. In 1923 the fort was occupied by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which still owns Fort Norfolk. The Norfolk Historical Society began making restorations to the fort in 1991.
The fort is located in the Ghent section of Norfolk at 801 Front Street. Enter the fort through the Southampton Ave. gate. Admission is free and self-guided tours are available during the week.

2013 MVC Men's Basketball Tournament Photos
AN INTERVIEW WITH: Greg McDermott, Grant Gibbs, Doug McDermott, Gregory Echenique
THE MODERATOR: Creighton Bluejays are next.
Welcome to the number one seeded Creighton Bluejays with head coach Greg McDermott, along with his players Grant Gibbs, Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year, Doug McDermott, and Gregory Echenique. We'll start with a statement from Coach McDermott.
COACH McDERMOTT: We're just excited to find out who we play. We feel like we're back playing some of our better basketball, at least in the last four weeks or five weeks or so, more similar to how we played in December and early January. We seem to have maybe gotten our legs back and (into) a little bit more of an attack mode on the offensive end than when we were going through that tough stretch.
We've defended well enough. For the most part, we rebounded well enough to put ourselves in a position to win, but there's a little bit more spark on the offensive end than we had for some time, and that was good to see. We had to go on the road to Bradley and obviously beat Wichita in the final game to put ourselves in position to win that title.
Couldn't be more proud of my team. We look forward to hopefully what's a great three days here.
THE MODERATOR: We'll start with questions for Coach McDermott.
Q. Coach, sitting here with the end of the season, with everything that's happened, the awards that these guys have picked up, everything in perspective, how do you rank this season among some of the others that you've coached?
COACH McDERMOTT: I've said this before. I think one of the hardest things to do in sports is to do what you're supposed to do. And I'm able to achieve the expectations that are laid upon you. We were picked to win the league, and we found a way to do it.
I don't know what the numbers are, but my guess is somewhere around a third of the teams that were picked as preseason conference champions are going to end up actually being conference champions.
So it's much more difficult to be picked to win the league and win the league than it is to be picked to finish eighth and finish fourth. So in that regard, I'm very, very proud of what this group has accomplished because we went through a really tough stretch, and all the pressure was on us, and we found a way out of it. That's a credit to these guys. In particular, like the guys up here that are leaders on our basketball team.
It's been a very rewarding season. We hadn't won a championship at Creighton for a long time. To be able to bring that back to Omaha is very gratifying.
Q. Greg, can you talk about the tough stretch you went through, what pulled you out, and what can you do as a coach to try to pull a team out of a tough stretch?
COACH McDERMOTT: Our message was to stay the course and make sure that were when you have 18,000 fans in every game, you've got a lot of assistant coaches that have ideas when things go bad. Because of the Internet and the power of the Internet and Twitter and Facebook and everything, some of those things become prevalent in the social media.
It's hard to put blinders on to that. Our message to the team was, I don't care what's going on outside of our locker room. Inside of our locker room, we're not going to point any fingers or make any excuses. We have to get better. We have to do things better than we've been doing.
I think staying close enabled us to dig our way out of it. Because I didn't ever see in a team situation where these guys began to turn on each other or question what we were asking them to do. Again, that's a credit to their character and the way they were able to fight through that.
Q. Do you guys have a preference in terms of the style of play you'd like to see in this first round matchup and also just a little bit about each team.
COACH McDERMOTT: I've watched a lot of film of both, obviously. One minute I want to play Drake, the next minute I want to play Bradley. I think they both certainly have some strengths. Obviously, Drake really put it on us in the first half in Des Moines, and we were able to dig out of it and make it a game late and then not quite be able to finish it.
Drake's got so many people that can shoot the basketball, really oftentimes have four guys that can shoot the three‑point shot on the floor, and they spread you out. I think they're a little bit deeper than Bradley perhaps.
On the other hand, Bradley, I think, Walt Lemon, Jr. and Dyricus Simms‑Edwards are the best guard duo in our league. I think there's strengths on both sides.
Really I want to know who we're going to play so we can get time to work on it and spend some time in the ball room and walking through it to make sure these guys are ready and can move on into tomorrow.
Q. [Inaudible.]
COACH McDERMOTT: You have to make sure you win the first game. It doesn't make any difference if we don't win the first one. Our substitution pattern won't be any different unless the game would dictate otherwise. We'll play the first one and see how it goes.
The reality of it is we have not gone very hard this week in practice. My guess is their legs are feeling as good as they have in some time because we really tried to back off to get ourselves ready for this weekend.
Q. Coach, Doug has a shot to become Creighton's all‑time leading scorer this weekend. What would that mean to see him accomplish something like that at this university?
COACH McDERMOTT: It will mean more when the season is over and you look back on it, and it's nice to have your players accomplish some individual goals and have individual awards. It's much more satisfying when that's done, when your team is really successful. I'm confident Doug feels the same way.
It will be a great honor and something 15 years from now you look back on and realize how special it is. But what makes it special is it's part of a very good team and a very good season.
Q. Greg, with all the chatter being revved up pretty hot and heavy, especially today about the new league, are you worried at all about that becoming a distraction this weekend?
COACH McDERMOTT: Myself, my staff, and my team is not on the need‑to‑know list. So there's no chatter going on with us. We know nothing.
There are a lot of people who have known me a long time would agree with that, that I know nothing. We haven't been let in on that. Obviously, the chatter is out there, but it's not going to ‑‑ won't impact our preparation.
THE MODERATOR: We'll move to questions for the student‑athletes, Grant Gibbs, Doug McDermott, and Gregory Echenique. Front right center.
Q. This is for all three of you guys, picking up on what coach said about the toughest thing to do is actually what you're supposed to do. Can you guys talk about the journey this year of actually accomplishing what people said you were supposed to.
THE MODERATOR: Doug, let's start with you.
DOUG McDERMOTT: Yeah, like he said, it's so hard to do that. Especially when there's so many expectations going into the year. Just the way our season went, starting off really hot, 17‑1, we were feeling really good. We hit the grind of the Valley, we had a couple of tough stretches where we lost three games in a row at one point.
To still have a chance to win the Missouri Valley title against Wichita, it just meant everything to us. We let it all out on the floor. It felt great to get that championship.
THE MODERATOR: Gregory, please chime in.
GREGORY ECHENIQUE: Building off of that, how you said it, does that make us a bigger target? I think we've always got every team's best shot. I think that definitely made it harder on us. I think it also builds some character and us being able to recover from that stretch and being able to accomplish what we're supposed to do. I think it says a lot about us. I think maybe any other team could just panic and not recover from a stretch like that.
I think, like I said, we have some ups and downs, but I think we're all where we want to be, and hopefully we can do something special this weekend.
THE MODERATOR: Grant, it's up to you.
GRANT GIBBS: It's taxing to, like these guys said, take your best shot every night, but that kind of comes with the territory.
Like I said, going through that tough stretch, looking for answers, I think we found our answers just getting back to who we were, and being there for each other kind of gave us a shot to win the conference at the end and we took advantage of it.
Q. For Greg and Grant, seniors, last hurrah here, any extra added motivation your last season? Being a Number 1 seed, nothing, obviously, guaranteed comes with that.
GREGORY ECHENIQUE: Personally, I like to not think much about that stuff, even the last game when it was Wichita in the last game of the season, and people kept asking me that, and I just don't like to think about it that way.
Preparing myself, it means a lot, and I know it's my last one, but I'm not letting it add anything extra. I think doing that will just add pressure that's not needed. I think we just go out there and play and just enjoy these guys and the company, and things will go the way they need to go.
GRANT GIBBS: I agree with him completely. Just preparing for each game the same way my whole career. The same goes for these guys, whether you're the 1 seed or 8 seed, whether you're a freshman or senior, you've got to prepare the same way and be ready to go.
THE MODERATOR: That was Gregory first and Grant second.
Q. Doug, obviously, your father is the head coach. How does that relationship off the court transition to success on the court, not only this year but in previous seasons?
DOUG McDERMOTT: We've always had a good relationship off the court. Me being around the coach my whole life, I got a chance to go to all his practices and just be around his guys and learn things from them. I feel like that had me ready for college a little more than maybe some other guys would have going into college.
We've certainly had our ups and downs from freshman year to now. Now it doesn't even feel like I'm playing for my dad. It just feels like a normal coach, and he doesn't treat me any different. It's been a great, great ride so far.
Q. Doug, a two‑parter. First, how was it? I know the Senior Day, fans chanting "one more year," "stay," all these things. You're on campus. You're not insulated to the buzz around you. How do you compartmentalize the focus you guys have had versus the NBA talk, the pro talk, with all the distractions?
Second part, what's it like having your father being a dunking sensation on the web right now?
DOUG McDERMOTT: First off, he's got as many dunks as I do this year. It's great to see. I mean, about those chants and stuff, it's definitely really cool. If he would have told me this three years ago, I would have called you crazy. Just to even be in this situation is really cool.
I try not to think too much about the future, just try and take care of business each day at a time. Good things will happen.
Q. Obviously, you have a shot at the all‑time scoring mark here this weekend. It's not your first priority, but what would it mean ‑‑ like your dad said, 15 years down the road and look back and see your name at the top of that list.
DOUG McDERMOTT: It would be cool, but like he said, it all comes down to winning and how good my team's been and how successful we've handled things. I think that would mean a lot much more to me. Certainly, it is cool to see my name with some of those names that ‑‑ some of the great players that have played at Creighton, but winning would mean that much more to me.
Q. Hey, guys, just thoughts on the two opponents you potentially face, what you've seen, the strengths and weaknesses out of each of them.
GRANT GIBBS: Both really good teams. Obviously, Drake beat us at their place, and like Coach said, they've got a lot of guys that can shoot the ball. They spread the floor. Obviously, Bradley, extreme life‑like backcourt, they turn you over. Between those two, two really good teams that played well all year.
DOUG McDERMOTT: Just like he said, we played Bradley most recently. We're more familiar with them. Either team, they're both good teams. We're going to be ready.
GREGORY ECHENIQUE: I agree. The fact that we already played this team twice doesn't really affect us. I think we'll be ready for whatever it is. I'm sure we'll try to watch part of the game today. I think it's going to be actually a really good game. Looking forward to see who it will be.
THE MODERATOR: Gentlemen, thank you very much.

The Associated Press has the story:
Tom Brady's agent thinks he has a solution for an 18-game NFL regular season: Limit how many games each player can suit up.
The players' union opposes expanding the season by two games, one of the main sticking points in negotiations with the league for a new collective bargaining agreement.
Though agent Don Yee believes 18 games mean more bodily punishment, leading to shorter careers and possibly shorter life spans, he had these suggestions for making the change more acceptable:
-Increase the roster from 53 players to 58, and make all eligible to play on game day; currently, only 45 can play.
-Institute a rule that prohibits any player from appearing in more than 16 games.
"This compromise will create even more interest from fans," Yee said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "What two games will the head coach sit the starting QB? That's a discussion that will set sports talk radio airwaves afire.
"This compromise will also be popular with coaches and general managers who want a greater opportunity to develop younger players," he said. "The NFL doesn't have a minor league, and this compromise will force meaningful participation by younger players on the roster.
"Players also would endorse this because each would effectively get two bye weeks during the year. Bye weeks afford important healing time and personal time away from the game."
Obviously this specific solution would wreak havoc with Fantasy owners. Would we know in advance when a player would be sat down, or would it come in on Sunday morning that all of a sudden Peyton Manning is taking the week off? Yee is right in that it would cause plenty of interest, but not necessarily the good kind.
The ideal solution is to agree playing a 16-game schedule, just as the league has done for years. An 18-game season means more Fantasy games for us, which is great, but it also means more injuries, roster maintenance, etc. Some people who play aren't into such a challenge.
I still think the league and the union have an agreement by June 1, if not May 1. I doubt Yee's solution is a valuable one, especially since I doubt Pats owner Robert Kraft would want to pay Tom Brady to sit for two games.

The 50-megawatt Macho Springs Solar Project will be the largest solar project in New Mexico, Element Power officials said.
The project will use rows and rows of photovoltaic solar panels to produce enough energy for 18,000 homes, the company reported. The power will be used in New Mexico and Texas.
The project must be approved by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission before construction can begin. Element hopes to begin construction by spring, and have the plant completed by late 2013 to mid 2014, said John Knight, Element Power's director of development for the Southwestern United States, at the company's North American headquarters in Portland, Ore.
The plant will be built on 500 acres of land leased from the New Mexico State Land Office. Element also has a lease on private land in the area, Knight said. The solar plant will be adjacent to Element Power's 50.4 megawatt wind farm, which supplies power to Tucson Electric Power.
El Paso Electric selected Element Power from among 38 proposals submitted to provide power for the company.
The company is now getting power from four major solar plants in New Mexico, including a 20-megawatt plant in Santa Teresa, and three small solar-generating units in El Paso.
Texas has less-stringent requirements.
When the Macho Springs power agreement is included, El Paso Electric will get 5.5 percent of its power generating capacity from solar plants, one of the largest percentages among investor-owned electric utilities, the company reported.
"El Paso Electric is committed to being a leader in the solar industry and will continue to evaluate competitive-based opportunities that will expand its renewable energy portfolio mix," Rocky Miracle, senior vice president of corporate planning and development for El Paso Electric, said in a written statement.

If you call, the front desk staff will take your phone number and provide you with the time slot during the drop-in hour when a counselor will call you back. Students or alumni who come to the CPC must sign-in and remain in the CPC office or forfeit their drop-in slot. Counselors can meet with students/alumni for a maximum of fifteen minutes during each drop-in hour, thus allowing for up to four drop-in slots per hour.

Resume Critique Service | Cover Letter Review
Resume Critique Service
To use the Resume Critique service, you may either (i) drop off your resume at the CPC main office with the CPC front desk staff for review by a counselor; OR (ii) email your resume to email@example.com, along with a completed Resume Critique form (see links below) for your appropriate class year. You will typically receive a phone call to pick up the reviewed resume within two business days.
Upper Division JD and JD Alumni Resume Critique Form
First-Year JD Student Resume Critique Form
*** You may email the completed form to the CPC via the "Submit by Email" button on the form (including your resume as an attachment to the automatically-generated email), or print the competed form via the "Print Form" button and drop it off at the CPC together with your resume.
Cover Letter Review
Because of the personal nature of cover letters, the CPC does not provide a critique service as we do for resumes. Instead, the CPC recommends that you schedule an appointment or come in to a counselor's drop-in hours with your cover letter. If you have not drafted your cover letter, schedule an appointment or come in to a counselor's drop-in hours with your resume. Discuss your job search goals with the counselor, then draft a cover letter and bring the draft to the counselor for review.
Remember that scheduled appointments and the drop-in hours, including for cover letter review, may be also be done by phone.

Reciprocity - Using Another School's Career Resources
For the benefit of students and graduates searching for a job outside the New York metropolitan area, the CPC has reciprocity agreements with law school career planning offices across the country. This service allows a student/graduate to access certain services at the career services office of a participating school in the desired geographic area.
Step 1: Identify at which law school to request reciprocity
Each law school has its own policies pertaining to available resources for reciprocity students; therefore to help you decide which school to request reciprocity from, you should call that school's career planning office to find out exactly to which services/resources you are allowed access (i.e. online job board, counseling services).
As a good starting point to research other schools, students/graduates should visit the NALP website at http://www.nalp.org/ for a list of reciprocity policies at law schools around the country.
Questions to Ask When Choosing a School for Reciprocity:
- Which services will you have access to (counseling, job lists, etc.)?
- When are the blackout dates?
- How many times may you visit during the time period set?
General Policies:
1. Students/Graduates cannot obtain reciprocity to law schools that are within a 90 mile radius of Fordham Law School.
2. Students/Graduates are limited to one reciprocity request per semester per city (i.e. one for Washington D.C. area and one for the Boston area).
3. Reciprocity services are generally suspended at most law schools during their Fall OCI period - generally July 1-November 1; therefore you should inquire with the particular school as to its blackout dates.
Step 2: Request Reciprocity Services
Once you decide from which law school you wish to receive reciprocity services, the CPC must make the request for services on your behalf. Therefore, please email your request to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The email request to firstname.lastname@example.com should include the following information:
- the name, title and email address of the Reciprocity Coordinator at the selected school
- the school's address
- your graduation year
- the date/time frame you plan on visiting the school
You will be copied on the email request that we make to that school. Once the request is granted, the other school will email you directly with the reciprocity letter and policy. Please make sure to read the policy thoroughly and follow the necessary guidelines. The policy will include information such as: (i) the length of time you may use the services and (ii) the number of times you may visit. Please note that it may take a few weeks to arrange the service, so plan ahead.

A statement on the Egyptian president's office's Twitter account has quoted Mohammed Morsi as calling military measures "a full coup." The denouncement was posted shortly after the Egyptian military announced it was ousting Morsi, who was Egypt's first freely elected leader but drew ire with his Islamist leanings. The military says it has replaced him with the chief justice of the Supreme constitutional Court, called for early presidential election and suspended the Islamist-backed constitution.

...you know the rest.
While searching for a common thread this week, it being Week Two of college football and Week One of the NFL, I couldn't help but notice that it seemed, the more things change, the more they seemed to stay the same.
As I'm apt to do, let me include a quick note first. My blogs do not follow any particular pattern. Sometimes, they have very little to do with sports. But in an attempt to be more in line with the subject matter of this website, I am writing about more sports, from weekly recaps of Nebraska football, to quick hits about the sports week that was, or more in-depth looks at particular subjects (like my well-received article on BCS controversy).
In short, I'm trying to be more serious. More "sportsy".
I suppose the best place to start is my favorite sport, college football. Last week, after the Colorado Buffaloes lost to their in-state rival, Colorado State, I alluded to Dan Hawkins' preseason prediction of "ten wins, no excuses". My swipe at the Buffs was partly tongue-in-cheek as Sonny Lubick had built the Rams into a respectable program, before Steve Fairchild took the reins. Taking that into account and adding in the rivalry factor made the loss, even though it was in Boulder, less devastating.
But last Friday, Colorado travelled to Toledo, a game that many had penciled in as a win for the Buffaloes, only to have the Rockets shell the Buffs, 54-38. What started out as disappointment following the season opener, has turned into shock. If Colorado loses to Wyoming this week in Boulder, it's safe to say that panic will ensue. How bad are things in Boulder? It's so bad that Nebraska fans are trying to bolster the spirits of their rivals in posts like this. Meanwhile, Colorado fans want to run Hawkins (and his son) out of town, or more likely, out of state. Nebraska fans trying to be cordial to their rival when they're reeling? Teams' fortunes may change but Husker fans stay the same.
Last week, I also made mention of the possiblity that Oklahoma State had finally broken the Sports Illustrated cover jinx. After their performance in week one, Dez Bryant made the cover. Then the Houston Cougars invaded Stillwater, apparently with fate on their side, and upended the Cowboys, 45-35. So apparently, I was wrong. The jinx is alive and well. The more things change...
In another college football note, the USC Trojans and their freshman QB, Matt Barkley, faced off against the Buckeyes in ESPN's marquee match-up. The Men of Troy, despite having to play in front of a record crowd at the Horseshoe, had history on their side, having beaten their past nine Big Ten opponents, by double digits. Unless, you've been living under a rock since Saturday, you know what happened. USC drove down the field in the final quarter and won by three. Same result, smaller margin. And once again, the game caused a great rumbling across Buckeye Nation as they accused Jim Tressel of what I suggested of another high-profile coach last week; that he can't win the big game. The more things change...
And to close out the college portion of this week's blog: Florida and Texas beat up on cupcakes, Virginia's woes continued and Notre Dame appeared to be overrated yet again. The more things change...
Sensing a pattern yet?
Before I get into the NFL and a little baseball, let me say something about women's tennis. Women's tennis? Yes. I'm not going to lie to you; I don't follow tennis. But if I had to choose between men's and women's tennis, I'd pick women's tennis for the same reason I'd prefer to watch women's gymnastics or women's volleyball over men's. If that makes me a lech or a perv or just a red-blooded male, I don't know and I don't care.
The only reason I'm even mentioning this is that, while I was watching Sportscenter for football highlights, they kept showing Serena Williams' meltdown. Now I admit, I can have a foul mouth at times, but then again I don't normally have twenty cameras on me at any given moment nor do I endorse Oreo cookies. If you want to argue that Serena (who seems to be anything but serene) was "in the heat of battle", save it. She's the one trying to market herself as a product with her own line of clothing line and such. With that comes a certain responsiblity.
If she had let loose with a stray F-bomb or something, that would be different. But from what I saw of her tirade, I surmised (in between all the bleeps) that she wanted to forcibly place the ball into one of the line judge's body cavities. Today, she's beaming and saying that she wants to give the woman "a big hug". Hmm, let's see. We have a high-profile athlete make an arse of themselves and then try to gloss it over when they realize that it could cost them. And it could, although her sponsors are standing by her (big surprise), she could stand to lose her U.S. Open winnings in addition to being suspended. And while her $10,000 fine may be no more than a drop in the bucket to her, the roughly half-a-mill she'd have to give-up from her winnings isn't.
Even this silly incident on which I've wasted three paragraphs (now, four) fits into this week's theme.
On to the NFL!
Welcome back to Tom Brady and Osi Umenyiora.
Brady, whose absence last season was celebrated by as many who cursed it, led his team to a one-point victory over Buffalo, a game that the Bills should have and would have won until a fumble by Leodis McKelvin on a kickoff return gave the Patriots another possession. The game was interesting in another aspect as it was Terrell Owens' first game with his new team. He was largely ineffective, unlike his counterpart on the other sideline, Randy Moss, who along with Wes Welker, had twelve receptions each. In the end, it was a surprising end to a game in which the Bills tried to end their 11-game skid to their AFC East rivals, but failed, and Owens was reported to have stormed out of the locker room. The more things change...
One other thing I noticed in the Bills/Patriots game was another example of how the NFL (and the NCAA) have hampered defenses by calling penalties on what appear to be otherwise sound tackles. In this instance, Vince Wilfork tackled Trent Edwards, but was flagged fifteen yards for going low. The so-called "Brady" rule. Some would call it poetic justice. Personally, I'm getting tired of all these restrictions on the defense. If they're going to call these type of penalties, then the quarterback, by rule, should have to wear a pink skirt on the next play.
And speaking of officials; just when I thought that their uniforms couldn't get any uglier, especially after their recent "make-over", the NFL has brought back these hideous AFL "throwback" Technicolor vomit "unis" for the Zebras to wear. They look like they should be selling ice cream, not calling football games.
Ok, off the soapbox. For now.
Umenyiora, who missed all of last season, had a 37-yard fumble return for a touchdown on a ball that he swatted out of the hand of the Redskins' Jason Campbell. Aside from Steeler SS Troy Polamalu's pick in the Thursday night game, it might have been the most athletic defensive play of the week.
Back in the AFC East, rookie Mark Sanchez had a good start against the Houston Texans, who were picked by many to be contenders this year. I'm sure that Kubiak and Company don't want to suffer the same fate as last year's "sexy" pick in the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys. It's no secret that many pundits had them going to the Super Bowl and well...they didn't. The media putting a team in the playoffs before the first snap of the season? Certainly that will stay the same.
Fellow rookie Matthew Stafford didn't fare so well on the road in New Orleans, but got to watch Drew Brees put up more Playstation numbers. Brees threw for six scores in a rout of the Lions. Lions bad. Brees good. Same and same.
In other quarterback news, the Panthers' signal caller, Jake Delhomme, threw four interceptions and added a fumble to the five picks and a fumble he had against the Cardinals in the playoffs last year. In the same game, the Eagles' Donovan McNabb suffered a broken rib. Suddenly, that Michael Vick signing is looking more astute, even though he won't be able to help his new team for another two weeks. The Bears' new quarterback, Jay Cutler, either a cancerous primadonna or the missing piece of the puzzle depending upon whom you ask, threw four interceptions against the Packers. His former team, the Broncos (with the Bears' former QB, Kyle Orton), won against the Bengals after Brandon Stokely snagged a tipped pass out of the air in the game's final seconds.
The Bears also lost Brian Urlacher for the season after he dislocated his wrist. It was especially ironic since the oft-injured Urlacher made mention to reporters that this season he finally felt that he was at one hundred percent. Although I suspect that he doesn't care, this will do little to silence his critics. Urlacher, a six-time Pro Bowler, often makes various lists of the most overrated players in the NFL, from both established media outlets and fan sites alike.
Oh and a little known QB from Mississippi tied the record of starts by any position with 270. The man he shares the record with is coincidentally, former Vikings great, Jim Marshall although there is controversy over the validity of that.
And let's not allow the quarterbacks to hog all the controversy, shall we? I'm sure you know that LaDainian Tomlinson who is now 30, told the world that he is better than Adrian Peterson, even though "Purple Jesus" replaced L.T. as the league's rushing champion last year. In round one of this year's battle: A.P.:180 yds, L.T.:55 yds. Which segues us nicely into the story below.
The NFL scheduled a double bill on Monday night. Along with the Bills and Patriots, the Raiders hosted the Chargers in an attempt to break an eleven-game losing streak against the Bolts. Despite hanging tough for nearly four quarters and scoring on a 57-yard bomb with 2:34 left, the Raiders fell for the twelfth straight time after letting Darren Sproles into the end zone with eighteen ticks on the clock. With Al Davis at the helm, can't we expect more of the same?
In my last NFL note, I'd like to address the NFL's antiquated blackout policy. Yes I know it's old news. But, in this economy and in especially hardhit areas like Detroit, can we not lift the blackout rule for a season? As of Friday, I heard that Detroit was not alone; Jacksonville is hurting and it was questionable as to whether the defending NFC Champion Cardinals were going to be able to sellout their home opener (apparently the league extended the window on ticket sales; perhaps someone can clarify the result).
I know that I'm just one voice in the wilderness (and a small one a that), but in this era of recession, all folks want to do is escape their crappy world for three hours and watch their team on TV, yes, even the Lions. Besides, the NFL's antiquated notion that if they air the game locally, people won't go see the game is just that...antiquated. In my estimation of this issue, there are basically two types of fans: ones that will go to the game if they can and ones that would rather stay home with their recliner. I don't think that threat of a blackout is going to get the latter group to shell out today's prices to see the game live. It's time for the NFL to make a change in policy. And not a policy in which you can watch the game on the Internet hours after its happened. A substantive change.
FINALLY, a baseball note (and if you've stuck with me this far, bless you; drop me a line and let me know how I'm doing). My beloved Texas Rangers have been chasing the Red Sox for the AL Wild Card. Usually, the Rangers are out of it by Memorial Day. This year, the Rangers have actually been good against the Red Sox and the Angels, even the Yankees. But as of this writing, they are four-and-a-half games out in the Wild Card and six games back in the West. And all year, the more cynical types here in the Metroplex have been predicting the demise of the Rangers.
Unfortunately this may be it. Despite playing well against the better teams, they've recently gone 5-5 with two losses to Baltimore, two to Seattle and one to Oakland. Even though the Rangers still have seven games to play against the Angels and the Red Sox will host Los Angeles for three games starting today, it might not be enough to make up that much ground.
Here's to hoping that the Rangers can change things and avoid the same playoff-deficient results of the past decade.

Like Frank Abanagle in the movie Catch Me If You Can, we're used to the occasional story of a layperson who pretends to be a doctor or a pilot, but what about a sign language interpreter? The Telegraph (12/11/2013) reported that at Nelson Mandela's recent memorial service in Johannesburg, things were not what they seemed to be. The man standing behind Barak Obama and making gestures was not a sign language interpreter, but a fraud.
Thamsanqa Jantjie was not signing in South African sign language or any other known sign languages. Bruno Druchen, the national director of the Deaf Federation of South Africa said to the Associated Press, "there was no meaning in what he used his hands for". It was further revealed that Jantjie has a history of passing himself off as a fake sign language interpreter. He had "interpreted" at an event held last year with the South African President Jacob Zuma in attendance. A bemused audience member recorded his performance and submitted it to the Deaf Federation. The organization analyzed the tape and lodged a complaint with the government. This didn't stop Jantjie from performing at Mandela's memorial.
Incredibly, he's not the only one to pull such a rort. Apparently, fake sign language interpretation is a common scam in South Africa. These frauds tend to learn a few signs, perhaps because they have a person who is hearing-impaired in their family. Then they pass themselves off as "experts", taking advantage of people in the deaf community. The people hiring these "interpreters" simply don't know sign language and don't test them.
Sign language interpretation is a tough job as the signers must translate and interpret simultaneously. In watching the video, Jantjie's signing is not typical of sign interpretation. Sign language is a highly visual language and the facial expressions of interpreters are usually highly animated. (Compare the performance given by Lydia Callis during New York City Mayor Bloomberg's following Hurricane Sandy.) Interpreters usually use lip movements too, to supplement the sign language. In contrast, Jantjie's face remains expressionless.
Jantjie simply wasn't saying anything comprehensible. His gestures came closest to the signs for "running horse", "friend" or "beyond", but in no way did they resemble the three hours of speeches. Body movements are also a part of the grammar of the various sign languages of the world. However, Jantjie wasn't using sign language because there was no structure to his movements. It was gibberish. In this way, his acting is the sign language equivalent of speaking in tongues. Even laypeople have commented that it doesn't look like Jantjie was using sign language. It looks like he's voguing.
Since the event, Jantjie has argued that he had studied sign language interpretation at a school in Cape Town and has performed many other jobs, without any complaints. He also admitted that he suffers from schizophrenia and has been violent in the past. Jantjie claims that he has no recollection of his performance, but he has also said that during the event he hallucinated that angels were entering the stadium.

One of my friends who is a fantastic cook and never measures anything (I hate her for that) once called me a cookbook whore. Well I have to admit she is right. I have cookbooks coming out everywhere in my kitchen.
This recipe is one that I put in my church's Fall Festival Cookbook. I have no idea where I originally got the recipe from but it is a favorite for parties. It's a little like molten cake but not runny just unbelievably moist! The best part is you cook it in the Crock-pot! That's right Chocolate Cake in the Crock-pot.
1 box of Chocolate or Devils Food Cake Mix
8 oz of Sour Cream
1 box Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
1 cup chocolate chips
4 eggs
3/4 cup of oil
1 cup of water
Mix all the ingredients together and pour into your slow cooker. Cook 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low.
Eat alone or serve like I did with ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

MARIEMONT - To the untrained eye, there's nothing special about the earthen hump that runs for hundreds of feet alongside picturesque Miami Bluff Drive and curves down along the edge of the woods toward the Mariemont Swimming Pool.
At certain points, it's undetectable from the road because trees, honeysuckle and weeds grow on parts of it.
But to the eyes of University of Cincinnati anthropology professor Ken Tankersley, this hump is extraordinarily special. ...

Gemini Staff Proposal Process
Starting with the 2015A Semester, there is no longer a separate Gemini staff access to observing time. Gemini staff may apply for observing time as members of the US community. The specific Gemini Board resolution states:
