Toward the end of his first practice as the Atlanta Falcons interim head coach late in the 1989 season, Jim Hanifan summoned his rag-tag team together at midfield, reached into an equipment bag that had mysteriously appeared during the final drill of the afternoon, and whipped out four sticks of dynamite.
Brandishing the dynamite above his head, Hanifan demanded each player come forward, and touch one of the sticks.
"This is what we're going to do to San Francisco on Sunday," Hanifan shouted, as the players roared. "Men, we're going to explode on them, right?"
And for the first half of the game, the 3-9 Falcons, so shabby an assemblage that coach Marion Campbell resigned with four contests on the schedule just to maintain his sanity, indeed, exploded on the superior 49ers. The Falcons led 10-6 at halftime, until order was restored in the San Francisco locker room, and Atlanta suddenly morphed back into the equivalent of Hanifan's ersatz dynamite, outscored 17-0 in the final two quarters.
The Falcons, alas, were again a dud that day. And, of course, so was the dynamite, four sticks of neutered explosives, containing not even a smidgeon of powder. The next week, outside the door of the Falcons' locker room, stood a vintage World War II bomb. The message from Hanifan was the same. So were the results. And that bright orange bomb, neither meaningful nor menacing, had long before been stripped of its innards.
By the third week of Hanifan's brief and ill-fated tenure, word came down from league headquarters in New York, strongly suggesting the colorful coach eliminate his phony motivational props. For the final two games of a grotesque season, Hanifan got through practices without producing so much as a firecracker.
So why dredge up this bit of ancient history?
Because two decades after the league quashed Hanifan's hokey theatrics, which were about as harmless as could be imagined, you've got to wonder how Jacksonville rookie coach Jack Del Rio got away with having an ax in his locker room. Yeah, the same ax that Chris Hanson clumsily wielded on Thursday morning, producing a gash that likely will end the season for the Jaguars punter.
We'll make you this bet right now: When you go to your local NFL game this weekend, pack an ax among the items you are taking into the stadium, and see how far you get with it. The guess here is, not very far, given that the league has dramatically increased its diligence since the terrorist events of two years ago. League and team officials are to be lauded for the ramped up security at every stadium, where fans are searched, and even the media has to go through a screening process.
But a coach brings an ax into the middle of the locker room, urges his players to hack away at an accompanying stump of oak as the tangible symbol of his slogan to "keep choppin' wood," and there are no repercussions? It was an accident (or, more precisely, an ax-ident) waiting to happen. And only when it did happen did Jaguars management decide that, hey, this might have been a mistake, huh?
At that point, it was a little too little, and a lot too late.
There had been, over the two weeks that the ax and block of wood were around in the Jaguars locker room, dozens of media reports detailing Del Rio's motivational gimmick. Some players have commented about how malodorous the block of freshly-hewn oak was and complained about the chopped-up wooden chunks on the floor. You'd think a red light would have gone on somewhere, either with the team's attorneys, or league officials who are generally sensitive to such things.
This is a league, after all, that goes to great lengths to avoid any kind of legal exposure in an accident. Given the NFL's track record in lawsuits, the courtroom is probably the last place team counsel wants to be, one might surmise. In the Jaguars case, some common sense should have prevailed.
One league official noted that the NFL has a stringent policy against guns and weapons in its locker rooms. Memo to commissioner Paul Tagliabue: An ax is considered, in some quarters, to be weapon. After the events of Thursday, you can bet it'll be viewed as such now by the NFL, as well.
Common sense, it seems, should be fair enough arbitration. And common sense certainly was not the order of the day in the Jacksonville locker room. Most of the Jaguars players, especially the veterans, viewed Del Rio's actions as sophomoric. When it was suggested to one veteran that the ax and chopping block represented a college-type motivating tool, the player responded that it was "more like high school stuff."
There is even some question now as to whether Hanson, a Pro Bowl performer who has experienced more than his share of dubious incidents (he was one of the Jaguars players burned in a fondue accident last year), could sue the team or the league. The attorneys to whom we spoke offered mixed opinions. Certainly the wound was self-inflicted but it was the team, not the player, who introduced the ax into the locker room. And it was the Jaguars coach who encouraged his charges to whack away at the tree stump.
In the wake of the Hanson incident, it's a good bet the commissioner's office will soon dispatch a note to all 32 teams, reminding them of the weapons embargo and perhaps even strengthening it. Next time you see an ax in a locker room, it's apt to be one of those foam tomahawks that have become famous at Atlanta Braves games, and nothing sharper.
Around the league
The NFL trade deadline arrives next Tuesday and, as usual, don't expect any really meaningful player movement. Over the last 10 years, there have been only nine "deadline day" deals, the lone swap in 2002 being the trade that sent Dallas guard Kelvin Garmon to San Diego for a seventh-round draft choice. It is chic to blame the salary cap for the dearth of trade action but, truth be told, the NFL was never much of a wheeling-and-dealing league even before the spending limit was enacted. So not surprisingly, the trade talk this year has been typically slow, and pretty much limited to role players. The Denver Broncos dangled veteran safety Lee Flowers last week, found no interest, and released him. There were reports that demoted Jacksonville quarterback Mark Brunell might be open to a trade, but no team is willing to make him financially "whole" for 2003, and few clubs are ever interested in adding a quarterback after the season starts. So who are the few players being discussed? Well, once again, Minnesota is willing to part with No. 3 tailback Doug Chapman, who will be fourth on the depth chart once Michael Bennett returns to the field next month, and who clearly was being "showcased" late in last Sunday's victory over the Atlanta Falcons. San Diego punter Darren Bennett, a two-time Pro Bowl performer and a member of the league's "team of the '90s," can be had as well. Bennett is 38 years old now and has lost some leg strength. The Chargers drafted a punter, Mike Scifres, in the fifth round this year, have been using him on kickoff duty, and wouldn't mind having him supplant Bennett. And, of course, expect some rumors surrounding New York Giants tailback Ron Dayne. The former Heisman Trophy winner and first-round draft choice in 2000, has been reduced to "scout team" chores and hasn't played in a game yet in 2003. There could be a couple teams interested in snatching up Dayne for a low-round draft pick. Beyond that, there are some ongoing talks about deals involving backup offensive and defensive linemen, but certainly no blockbusters.
Two members of the league's influential competition committee to whom we spoke earlier in the week strongly suggested the language in the "leaping" rule, the infraction called against Tampa Bay defensive end Simeon Rice in the Monday night game, will almost certainly be altered (i.e., clarified) next spring. "The rule, in essence, is a good one because it (addresses) a safety issue," said one committee member. "And the call in the Monday game was absolutely following the letter of the law. But we need to take a hard look at the wording of the rule. I mean, (Rice) didn't put anyone in jeopardy. You don't want to force the officials into parsing things even further, you know, interpreting the chances a leaping player could injure someone, but we've got to clean (the rule) up." It should be noted that one guy who has remained silent on the call -- not too surprising, given his class -- is Tampa Bay general manager Rich McKay, who is co-chairman of the competition committee. For McKay to have said anything in the wake of his team's overtime loss might have been construed as self-serving, and the Bucs general manager is way too smart to be drawn into that trap. It could be a busy session for the committee, which typically meets two weeks prior to the start of the March league meetings, since it figures to also be considering a number of key proposals. There is a group in the league that wants the committee to look at changing the rule for catching a pass at the back of the end zone. And, of course, the move to alter the overtime rules definitely will be revisited.
Speaking of overtime, there have been seven extra session contests so far in 2003, the third-most at this point of the season since the rule was adopted in 1974. In five of the seven games, each team had at least one possession, and the team that won the toss prevailed four times. In fact, what proponents of changing the rules don't seem to realize is that both teams got at least one possession in 71.6 percent of the 349 overtime games played in league history. And only 51.8 percent of the teams that won the toss won the game.
When the Carolina Panthers signed Stephen Davis in the spring, after the tailback had been cast off by Washington for salary cap considerations, his new five-year contract was widely reported as being worth $35.5 million. In fact, the deal was essentially a contract worth $15.5 million, with the opportunity to earn an additional $4 million annually in an incentives and bonus package. Many skeptics, including yours truly, suggested that Davis could have problems capitalizing on the incentives, because the thresholds were set so high. But the resurrected Davis, certainly the centerpiece of the offense for the unbeaten Panthers, now stands to cash in handsomely, it seems. Davis will earn an additional $1.5 million if he rushes for 1,500 yards and he's currently on pace for a 2,200-yard season. He pockets another $500,000 if he is among the NFL's top three rushers, and currently he is second in the league. Davis, who is set to earn $4.1 million from the total of his initial signing bonus, base salary and workout bonus, doesn't figure to "max" out on all of his incentives. But it's realistic to expect he will bank an extra $2 million-$2.5 million this year. And the stakes will go higher the more Davis produces and, just as important, the deeper Carolina advances in the playoffs.
Wonder why so much is expected from Chicago middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, who has come under fire in some quarters, and viewed as having underachieved to this point of the season? One reason might be that Urlacher, who signed a pricey contract extension in the spring, is the NFL's highest paid player for 2003. According to salary documents obtained by ESPN.com, Urlacher has a total salary for this year of $15.055 million. That includes a $13 million signing bonus, $1 million roster bonus, $1.05 million base salary and workout bonus of $5,600. There are 15 players who are earning $10 million or more in total compensation for 2003.Thirty-two players will make $7 million or more.
Look for the Philadelphia Eagles, who still have $4.048 million in remaining salary cap room for this season, to accelerate efforts to sign standout defensive tackle Corey Simon to a contract extension before the end of the year. ESPN.com has confirmed the Eagles, in the wake of lucrative extensions recently awarded Anthony McFarland of Tampa Bay and Carolina's Kris Jenkins, have approached agent Roosevelt Barnes about an expanded deal for Simon. The fourth-year veteran and 2000 first-round pick is under contract through the 2004 campaign. He will make just $646,250 this season and $700,000 in '04 between his base salaries and roster bonuses, and that makes Simon a real steal. Team president Joe Banner has always demonstrated a priority for extending nucleus veterans before their contracts are close to lapsing and Simon has become the team's No. 1 target among its young core players.
The early-season success of Quincy Carter might validate Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones in his role of general manager, and enhance his reputation as a pseudo-talent scout. Remember, it was Jones who took full responsibility for selecting Carter in the second round of the 2001 draft, even though most teams had the former University of Georgia star appraised as a third- or fourth-round prospect at best. Jones cited Carter's potential for the deep ball as one reason he chose him and, three seasons later, that potential is now turning into production. Carter will likely never be a high-percentage passer. He looks like a guy who will be in the 55- or 56-percent range for his career. In some systems, of course, that would be a huge liability. But the Cowboys, especially under Bill Parcells, want the ball going vertically upfield and Carter certainly provides that dimension. The Cowboys are averaging 14.5 yards per completion in 2003, and have 21 pass plays of 20 yards or more, and both those numbers are second-best in the league. Each of the team's top three wide receivers is averaging at least 18 yards per catch. Despite his stretches of poor marksmanship, Carter throws a precise deep ball and, with the speed the Cowboys possess on the outside, don't expect Dallas to ever be reduced to a dink-and-dunk attack. Notable, too, is the production Parcells is getting from Joey Galloway and Terry Glenn, a pair of wide receivers some considered past their primes. The two are starting ahead of second-year veteran Antonio Bryant, a youngster with a big-play mentality, but who has problems sometimes working against "Cover 2" packages and who often struggles to fight through double teams.
We're not going to get into the complexities of re-writing a story on deadline, as most scribes at the Monday night Indianapolis-Tampa Bay thriller were forced to do, but the exercise in frenetic hacking did produce a problem for which we apologize. In the game story on this site, it noted that "several" Bucs players had declined to speak to ESPN and ESPN.com because of their personal views regarding Rush Limbaugh's remarks and the Playmakers series. Not true. For the most part, Bucs player were cooperative, even in the wake of a devastating collapse. For the record, only two Tampa Bay players declined interviews and just one (you figure the identity) is a player of consequence.
After last weekend, when Kansas City Chiefs special teams ace Dante Hall scored on a 93-yard punt return that included at least one clip that wasn't called and one block in the back that escaped the officials' notice, you can't bet against the guy bringing back another kick for a fifth game in a row. But the Green Bay Packers, dramatically improved on special teams in the first year under assistant coach John Bonamego, might be able to corral Hall on Sunday afternoon. The Packers, particularly woeful in the kicking game last year, are first in the NFL in lowest average punt return allowed and third in covering kickoffs. The clever Bonamego has added better special teams players and also a few wrinkles to the Green Bay coverage units. The Packers now use a variety of kickoffs, and sometimes employ a sort of "muddle huddle," in which the coverage players stay in a bunch until kicker Ryan Longwell approaches the ball. The technique is designed to confuse blocking assignments and has been effective. And look for punter Josh Bidwell, not a very good directional kicker, to sacrifice yardage for hang time against Hall. The Packers have made it a rallying cry all week to keep Hall out of the end zone. They realize how significant he is, especially given that the Chiefs offense has been unable to date to elicit much output from the passing game.
There are a lot of reasons for the improvement of the Minnesota defense this year, not the least of which is the input of coordinator George O'Leary, who is rehabilitating his career very nicely. Everything starts upfront, of course, where first-round draft pick Kevin Williams has performed well, even if the media hasn't noticed. But not to be overlooked is the play of the Vikings safeties, who have combined for nine interceptions already. The move of Corey Chavous to strong safety finally puts the veteran at his most natural spot in the secondary, after years of bouncing between cornerback and free safety. And the play of second-year pro Brian Russell, who has an interception in all five games, has been sensational. "He's a far better athlete than a lot of people think," said coach Mike Tice of Russell, a former practice squad player, who outworked every other candidate in camp to capture the wide-open competition at the free safety spot. Russell and Chavous are both good tacklers and each possesses solid "ball' skills. How significant are those nine interceptions for which the tandem has combined? There were only two safety duets in 2002 that had more than nine thefts. And there were just six safeties last season who had more than five interceptions for the year.
While on the subject of secondaries, Will Allen of the New York Giants has just one interception and five passes defensed, but some scouts who have seen him feel that the former first-rounder is now among the NFC's best cornerbacks. Allen has separated himself a bit from teammate Will Peterson, who is also very good, and is playing at a Champ Bailey-type level. And, oh, the next Bailey? One NFC personnel chief opined this week that Ohio State corner Chris Gamble might be considered in the Bailey class in the 2004 draft if he runs well in pre-lottery workouts. Gamble is a physical defender, fluid enough to also play some at wide receiver, and a natural ballhawk.
There have been some recent rumblings that the Cincinnati Bengals might consider releasing tailback Corey Dillon next spring, a move that would allow the club to realize between $1.3 million-$3.4 million, depending on when he was jettisoned. But don't count on Dillon, who turns 29 in two weeks and has started to miss time to injuries, being cut by the Bengals. Traded? Now that's another thing. There could be a team or two, even given Dillon's age, that might be interested in surrendering a middle-round choice for him. The Bengals, under such a scenario, would still get a cap break, realize an extra draft pick, and might be able to get by with Rudi Johnson as the starting tailback.
How testy have some Atlanta Falcons players become in the wake of the current four-game losing streak? In last Monday's editions of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a photo on the front page of the sports showed a Randy Moss touchdown, with Falcons cornerback Ray Buchanan trailing the Minnesota star. On the play, it was cornerback Kevin Mathis who was beaten for the score, not Buchanan who was culpable. But the photo did make it appear that Buchanan, who was shadowing a receiver in the middle of the field, had been toasted. So Buchanan phoned one of the reporters who covers the club, as if the scribe had laid out the page, to complain about the photograph. Also notable was the Friday revelation by offensive tackle Bob Whitfield, who has played miserably over the last three games, that he underwent hypnotism this week in an effort to shake his slump. Notable because the 12-year veteran, for many years one of the NFL's premier pass protection tackles, has played like he's in a trance.
Punts: The Steelers' situation at tackle, because of injury and ineptitude, has gotten to the point where the team is working two-time Pro Bowl guard Alan Faneca at the outside position in practices.
Look for Baltimore Ravens coaches to begin using first-round linebacker Terrell Suggs, who has four sacks in just situational play so far, in the team's 3-4 "base' defense starting this weekend.
Houston coaches plan to increase playing time for rookie tailbacks Tony Hollings and Domanick Davis.
The New Orleans secondary has surrendered 10 touchdown passes and an opposition passer rating of 102.3 through five games.
Tampa Bay officials are all but prepared to accelerate talks aimed at a contract extension for defensive tackle Warren Sapp.
The New York Jets will substitute their three backup linebackers -- Jason Glenn, Kenyatta Wright and rookie Victor Hobson -- as a group this weekend for the starters. Look for the playing time of veterans Mo Lewis and Marvin Jones, in particular, to be increasingly reduced over the balance of the season.
There is a chance the Patriots will start Mike Cloud at tailback this weekend. Cloud, coming back from a four-game suspension and a calf injury, really provided the New England ground game a much-needed boost last week.

Oct. 27, 2006
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - After letting a 2-0 lead slip away to North Carolina last season, the Virginia volleyball team found itself in a similar situation Friday evening (Oct. 27), but this time the Cavaliers prevailed with a 3-2 (30-28, 30-25, 28-30, 21-30, 15-13) victory over UNC at Carmichael Auditorium. The victory is UVa's third consecutive as it improves to 16-6 overall and 9-4 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Tar Heels fall to 6-16 overall and 4-9 in the ACC.
With the victory, Virginia earned its first season sweep over the Tar Heels since the 1993 season when UVa took a pair of 3-1 decisions. Fourth-year setter Emily Kirkwood (Tampa, Fla.) reached an individual milestone for the Cavaliers as she became the 10th ACC volleyball player to surpass the 5,000-career assist milestone. Kirkwood tallied 66 assists in the contest and now has 5,023 in her career. She is second on UVa's all-time assists list. Kirkwood also moved within one service ace of tying Andrea's Fischer's (1997-99, 2001) UVa school record of 154. Kirkwood tallied three aces in the match to raise her career total to 153.
Third-year outside hitter Sarah Kirkwood (Tampa, Fla.) and third-year middle Katie Oakes (Lorton, Va.) both totaled 17 kills to lead UVa's offense. Both players played key roles on the defensive end as Kirkwood shattered her career high with 32 digs for her 10th double-double of the season, and Oakes tallied six blocks. Kirkwood's previous career high for digs in a match was 24 vs. Wake Forest in 2004.
Second-year middle Shannon Davis (Austin, Texas) and fourth-year outside hitter Lindsay Osco (Houston, Texas) both had 14 kills, while first-year outside hitter Lauren Dickson (Austin, Texas) was the fifth Cavalier to reach double figures in kills with 10. Davis also had four digs and three blocks, including two solo stuffs. Osco added nine digs three blocks and shared team-high honors with three service aces, while Dickson completed a double-double with 10 digs. Emily Kirkwood and Emily Perilli (Thompson's Station, Tenn.) both had three aces. Kirkwood also posted 12 digs and two blocks, while Perilli notched 15 digs. Third-year libero Melissa Caldwell (Houston, Texas) and third-year defensive specialist Beth Shelton (Cincinnati, Ohio) totaled 21 and 17 digs, respectively, to round out the seven Cavaliers in double figures in defensive saves.
Megan Owens led North Carolina with 20 kills and 15 digs, while Ingrid Hanson-Tuntland hit an impressive .538 with 15 kills. Brianna Eskola led all players with 39 defensive saves.
The Cavaliers posted 73 kills while hitting .163, while North Carolina had 70 kills and a .171 hitting percentage. The two teams combined for an incredible 248 digs with the Tar Heels holding a 127-121 edge. The 121 digs are a season high for Virginia. UVa held a 12-7 advantage in service aces, while UNC led 12-9 in team blocks.
Davis and Oakes had five and four kills, respectively, while leading UVa to a 30-28 win in the first game. The Cavaliers took a 2-0 lead with a 30-25 win in game two. Sarah Kirkwood and Oakes both had five kills in the game with Kirkwood adding 10 digs. The Tar Heels jumped out to a 19-9 lead in game three and held on for a 30-28 win. In game four, UVa never led and North Carolina won 30-21 to force a deciding game five. Virginia had only six kills in game five, but took advantage of seven UNC hitting errors to post a 15-13 victory.
Virginia returns to action on Saturday (Oct. 28) when it plays NC State at 6:00 p.m. in Raleigh.

Oh Good. Now You Can See The Smartest & Sexiest Colleges In The U.S.
We don't know about you, but when we were struggling through the gargantuan process of deciding where to spend our four college years, we had but one factor at play: Which university would make us the most attractive according to DateMySchool? (Insert an audible eye-roll here.)
Though, to be fair, this Buzzfeed created infographic doesn't just have good-looking co-eds, it also cross-references each school's "hot" factor with how well the school has ranked on the Forbes' academic rankings. Therefore, a prospective freshman can see how cute and intelligent the student body is! Finally.
There are, of course, a myriad of issues with this graph — among them being the inherent issue with college rankings in the first place (how does one really quantify a decent academic experience? Or more importantly, how does one qualify "hotness"?). Furthermore, why are we consistently drawn to these types of rankings? (Let's be honest: Who isn't going to scroll to see where they rank on this list? We certainly did.) Check out the top 10 below.
10. Carnegie Mellon
9. University of Virginia
8. Harvard University
7. Boston University
6. Boston College
5. Columbia University
4. University Of Pennsylvania
3. Princeton University
2. Dartmouth College

9. University of Virginia
8. Harvard University
7. Boston University

Well, at least, the graph allows for the possibility that a student body can be both intelligent and good-looking. That's a start. (Buzzfeed)

my son moved in yesterday, to storthes hall accommodation. the room was dismal , had big cobwebs on the ceiling and didnt look like it had been cleaned . both the kitchen and the bedroom were well used and did not look like the photographs represented on the web site. I was very disappointed for him.

Speeders could use some distractions
Published: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 at 12:19 a.m.
Dear Editor: We have made travel too easy and cars are driving too fast on our city streets. This has led to the installation of impediments in the road to slow traffic down, i.e. speed tables. They cost a significant amount of money, so I have turned my attention to ways that will not only cost less, but would also reduce other costs of road maintenance.
Speed tables reduce speed only in the immediate vicinity of the table and do nothing to slow the overall speed. I have suggestions for more comprehensive slowing of traffic. If we really are serious about slowing traffic, potholes are very effective and cost nothing to produce — nature will take care of it for us. Therefore, we should stop repairing our roads and let potholes develop naturally. If nature works too slowly, we could use the city paving crews to make potholes in strategic locations.
A disadvantage to speed tables is that we know where they are and we only slow down when we are approaching one. If there is uncertainty about where the obstruction is, we would have to be alert and drive more carefully. The city crews should have movable obstacles, such as large stones, that can be moved daily to new locations so that you would never know where one would be. The city paving crews could do this since they would have very little paving work to do.
I encourage other inventive minds to turn to this problem and suggest other cost-effective solutions.

Will certainly stay again. This new park has oversized sites. Maintenance on park is excellent. Dog friendly. Stayed during snowy weather. Paved so no mud to deal with!! Manager very friendly and helpful. The place to stay in Clovis NM. - The man
Sep 2013 - $25.00
This is actually a decent park set up like a running track right off the highway. The problem here, like much of Clovis, is that it is right on the railroad track and when the wind blows from the south the smell from the stockyards is nauseating. Nice enough park but just skip Clovis because I don't think you can escape trains and livestock issues anywhere in this area. Decent Wi-Fi and a nice fenced dog run. Also have a small, covered picnic area. Unfortunately, that is the only shade. - austxnaturegal

Pros: friendly staff, quiet,impeccably clean & new looking bathrooms &showers, conveniently located, some spots have shade.
Cons: our particular spot (#57) didn't seem like much of a spot. It was more like we were parked on the edge of a driveway. Our door opened up to the driveway. No tables. No shade. That particular spot seemed more of an afterthought. But many other spots which seem to be used by long stays, have shade trees, space and are nice. - Ontheroamagain

We spent two nights while attending an air show at the local Air Force Base. the park is simple, but all spaces seemed very wide. The bathroom was better than most we have seen - new, clean, and many spaces available. my only concern was that i called for a reservation, but they had not written it down, so we took the last spot that night. Staff was really friendly and helpful with local details. - brewerted

This park has several seasonal residents but park is maintained well and clean. Located on the north side of town off of the main north/south street, it can be missed if not watching for the small sign. The park was quite and located far away from the many dairy operations on the south side. There are individual combination shower/bathroom rooms that are spotless. They have a few pull thru sites that are easy access. This is a great place to spend the night. The staff is super friendly and helpful, but the office is only open in the afternoon. However, they do answer the phone throughout the day. - AstroDave

This park hosts mostly full time residents; they have a very few pads available for overnight or short term. I noticed mostly back in sites with 30amp and 50amp. Our water quality was good; electric was good. This is a no frills park. I did not see any available showers or bathrooms, no playground, no pool, no rec hall or anything else. Our site was small and right next to the road. It was level and we did have some grass. - Kerch Family

Probably best park in area - we visited 3 others.
A bit of train noise, but ok for sleep. Located on west side of town and we were visiting at Texas border 10 miles east of city. Great folks. We would stay here again.
The sites are gravel and nearby to one another but are sunny and open. - KAZIMIRA
May 2015 - $24.00
The roads and driveways are gravel and dirt. The rest of each site is grass. It had rained before we arrived and the gravel and dirt driveway had turned to gravel and mud. There was no picnic table.
Sites are very narrow and short. We supposedly had an extra-long site, but it barely accommodated our 35-foot RV, our tow dolly and our car.
The staff (owners?) were pleasant. There are a lot of semi-permanent occupants whose sites are, for the most part, well-maintained. The park is built between a large rail yard and the highway. We had no issue with noise from either the highway or the trains. - BSR
May 2015 - $28.00
Office staff helpful and friendly. Restroom had suffered hail damage and were in the process of repair but were very clean although could use an upgrade. We were in a pull-through that was long but narrow. Our site was 100 feet off of a 4 lane highway and backed up against the railway right of way. Traffic and train noise went down after about ten. Trains only used their whistles three times for short blasts but we still heard the rumble. Campground is adequate for an overnight stay. - Mr. Rick

Stayed for one night, going to Ca. got a pull through. The place was gravel and sand, very dusty.

I would not stay there again due to train noise and dust. - retiredblade

Owner is very nice and helpful - family run business. On the east side of town. Town has a great coffee shop near Walmart; otherwise, town does not have much to offer. Campground is mostly contract workers, long term stays; very quiet, safe, easy access in and out. Wi-Fi is fairly reliable; no other amenities to speak of. Office has some very eclectic cats! - alansills

Just an OK dusty gravel covered RV park with adequate size spaces. Some train noise but maybe less then the other parks in town. Signage is faint and we called ahead for directions which helped. Wi-Fi slow at times. Owners live on site. - run2

The sites are mostly pull-through. All are gravel/dirt as are the roads. The RV sites are water and electric only; no sewer hook-up. As others have mentioned, the dump station is not operational. There are several sites that have shade trees and are quite pleasant. I believe these are all 30 amp. There are a few 50 amp sites. These do not have shade trees. They do have a covered concrete pad with a picnic table. The sites are wide and long. The 30 amp sites are shorter, but appear to offer more length than is listed on the park's website. There is a stocked fishing pond. There are (2) handicap 50 amp sites with concrete pads. There park is about 12 miles from Clovis and may be 3 miles from Portales. It is truly an oasis in the desert. - Phaeton_Owner
Nov 2015 - $14.00
A park in the middle of pasture country. It does have trees and a three acre lake stocked for fishing. Not a place I would go out of the way to see but they do their best with what they have. My main complaint is the dump station has been out of service for over a year. Area around it is dug up but looks like nothing has been done for quite a while. - fander
Oct 2015 - $14.00
I put $20 in the envelope because it was worth it. The next morning the park manager came and gave me $6 back. I told him it was worth the $20 I put in the envelope and told him to keep the money and put it in the park fund. He refused. I told him I will be back around the 2nd of Dec. If you are in this area, check it out. - larybrandt

Axiom makes bid for European CDS market
The brokerage has already set up shop in London with voice broking, but will now offer its voice-assisted, electronic broking platform as well, for trading index and emerging market CDSs.
Axiom's London office will concentrate on broking index trades, emerging market CDS and basis trades and investment grade CDSs. The company also has designs on the structured credit market, and said is has appointed a team to focus on tranches, first-to-default baskets and CDS options.
Axiom has created its London team with brokers lured from high-profile rivals such as Cantor Fitzgerald and Icap. The company said it plans to expand and will be announcing further appointments in the near future.
The company's move puts it alongside Icap, GFI, Creditex and Prebon - brokers that already offer electronic trading platforms. CreditTrade, however, still remains without an electronic offering.

In the drawing, the various partsof an internal combustion engine are designated as follows: cylinder 10, cylinder head 11, piston 12, water jacket 13, intake or exhaust passage 14, valve 15, valve stem 16, and valve stem guide 17.
My improved valve operating mechanism is installed upon or above the cylinder head 11 and comprises a cam shaft 18 supported on suitable brackets 19. The cam shaft 18 runs longitudinally of a series of cylinders 10 and carries adjacent each of the valve stems 16 in the series, an opening cam 20 and a closing cam 21.

Similarly carried, above the cam shaft I8'upon the rocker arm 22, is. a similar roller 26f. The rollers 24 and 26 constantly contact with the opening andTclosi-ng cams 20 and 21', respectively.
In operation, the rotation of the cam shaft 18" will oscillate the rocker arm 22 about its pivot 30, thus causing the yoke 23 toalternatelyraise the valve-15 to its seat-and force The spring 29 allows the rocker arm 22 to continue. its stroke for a shortgdistance after the valve'15 hasseated', and allows for expansion in the valve stem and any carbon or other foreign materialwhich may become lodged between the valve and its seat, thus preventing a rigid impact at the closing of the valve which might result in damage to the valve or valve mechanism.
To provide for adjustment betweenv the rollers and the cam, I place the roller 26 upon a bearing 32 which is eccentrically carried on a stud 33 in the rocker arm 22. The stud 33 is slotted at 35 to allow expansion.

It will be noted that the action upon the valve 15 isa multiplication of the cam action, owingto the fact that the yoke 23 is The stud can be rotated, by means 4 r A 1,671,913 ES. mrmr OFFICE- 22 carries a. yoke 23 at'it's one At the cam shaft the arm 37 is forked to support the rollers 2 1 and 26. In this form, the action of the cam shaft is reversed with reference to the action of the valve stem and if the distances between the valve stem 16, the pivot 36 and thecam shaft 18 are equal, the action at the two extremities will be equal. 7
While a specific form of the improvement has been described and illustrated herein, it is desired to be understood that the same may be varied, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit of the invention. 7
Having thus described the invention, what I claim and desire secured by Letters Patent 1s:-
1. A valve operating mechanism comprisinga cam shaft; opening and closing cams carried by said cam shaft; a rocker arm pivoted at one side of said cam shaft and arranged to contact with said valve at its one extremity, said rocker arni arranged midway between said opening and closing cams; and oppositely extending projections on sa d arm arranged to engage said opening and closing cams, respectively.
'2.

at. A valve operating mechanism for internal combustion engines having a reciprocatmg valve; a pivot arranged adjacent said valve; a cam shaft arranged between said pivot and said valve; and a rocker arm eX- tending from said pivot to said valve, said cam shaft arranged to pass through said rocker arm.

Final: Rockets 125, Lakers 112
In their first journey as a Mike D'Antoni team driven primarily with Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant as co-pilots, the Lakers were still the same losers.
They put forth a decent effort with a depleted lineup, but the Houston Rockets pulled away for a 125-112 victory Tuesday night. The 21-14 Rockets are one of the teams unexpectedly holding a Western Conference playoff berth that the 15-19 Lakers will need to rally to claim in order to avoid this season becoming a complete embarrassment.
Playing with their top three big men (Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Jordan Hill) out because of injury, the Lakers wilted in the third quarter. Houston put up 37 points on 67 percent field-goal shooting — 11 points each by their headline players, guards James Harden and Jeremy Lin. The Lakers were outrebounded, 12-6, in the quarter.
Harden and Lin combined for 50 points compared to the 36 posted by Bryant and Nash, as the Lakers' lack of interior defense and rotations to stop Houston's guards from scoring at the rim was eventually exposed.

With only two units available to rent, Charles Bass House provides a personal home away from home to guests. It becomes your personal home while here. Being centrally located, Charles Bass House is within walking distance to downtown with restaurants, shops, churches and The Prizery community arts center. It is a short drive to other places of interest in the area: VIR, South Boston Speedway, Staunton River State Park, to name a few.

Spacious rooms, great value, comfortable and relaxing. Wish I could have stayed longer.

My October 2015 stay at the Charles Bass House was delightful. John is a gracious and attentive host, and truly makes you feel as though you're a guest in his home. Staying there was like a mini-spa vacation...the hot tub was great after driving, with a glass of wine to enjoy as well, and made for a relaxing evening. John's restaurant suggestion of nearby "Bistro 1888" in the center of South Boston was equally enjoyable, with excellent food and a great atmosphere. I stayed in the first-floor suite, which was huge, very comfortable, and impeccably clean. Breakfast the next morning was delicious. I'm looking forward to future reasons to return to Charles Bass House!
5 on September 14, 2015
We had a wonderful stay at the Charles Bass House B & B! John was a great host. We enjoyed the hot tub, the soothing music, the comfortable suite, the local wine, and the delicious breakfast. John directed us to a restaurant for dinner where we had a fantastic meal. It was a lovely stay.
4.6 on February 22, 2015
If you want a relaxing home away from home experience this is the place to go! My husband and I had an amazing Valentine's Day Weekend here and we can't wait to go back. The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and worth every cent we spent. John is a wonderful host and great cook. He made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door and we really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. I can't recommend this venue enough!!!
5 on November 23, 2014
John Fulton knows his business, and every detail is just right. We've stayed in dozens of B&Bs over the years, and the Charles Bass House is our favorite. We love the suite downstairs -- it is plenty of private space, and the atmosphere in the house is perfect with wine and snacks available, music, and a well-maintained hot tub that is just the right temperature. Add in coffee on the sun porch in the morning, followed by a delicious breakfast, some social time (but not too much) and for us, the experience is just what we need when we plan a getaway.
4.0 on September 07, 2013
Stayed one night, first time at a Bed and Breakfast. It was during the weekday, so there was no hot breakfast, but we had the best continental breakfast we'd ever had! We really enjoyed it!
4.8 on September 05, 2013
John was so welcoming and friendly. He was the perfect B&B host- he made us feel welcome but he didn't push himself on us too much or infringe on our privacy. The house is gorgeous and the room was clean and beautiful. The price was so reasonable. Definitely staying here again if we ever find ourselves in the South Boston area!
5 on August 05, 2013
You can tell that John takes pride in his establishment and has a passion for detail. The heavenly bed, soft music, candles inside and out, along with the perfect temperature of the hot tub, ensured that I would experience the best night of rest and relaxation. Waking up the the smell of breakfast cooking and a gracious host made it hard for me to leave. This place is a must if you are in the area. If not even in the area, it is worth the trip if you are looking for the perfect place of peace. Thanks John!!!!!

I highly recommend this B&B. John is a wonderful host and the house is gorgeous with an inviting hot tub.

I stayed at the Charles Bass House B&B from June 6-12, 2013. I live in IL, but I grew up in Halifax County. I wanted an alternative to a standard hotel, so I was delighted to find that this home had been converted to a B&B. I cannot rave enough about it. The home itself is absolutely magnificent. It has been beautifully restored and it is so elegant and comfortable. I stayed in the guest suite on the main floor, which has a large bedroom, a private bath and a private sitting room with TV. It is right in the heart of South Boston, but it is still quiet and you can sit outside without being bothered by too much noise. This is only minutes from the dining/shopping areas in downtown South Boston and Town of Halifax. Check out The Prizery to see if there are any concerts or Little Theatre productions while you are in town. It is also very close to several of the best restaurants in the area. As for amenities: I did not try the hot tub while I was there, but it is on a sheltered deck and you could enjoy it year-round because the weather is moderate even in the winter. The outside deck on the back of the house is idyllic. There is ample seating and a nice patio set with an umbrella for eating or reading outside. There is also off-street parking which was very convenient. Mr. Fulton is a gracious host and an excellent cook, so make sure you are hungry for breakfast! I think I gained about 5lbs during my stay. Fresh fruit every day, muffins and scones on weekdays, and freshly cooked bacon & eggs on the weekend. Oh, and great music and conversation! If you can't tell, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I will most definitely call him first next time I go back for a visit. I hope this review will convince you to give it a try, or if you are local, to recommend it to family and friends. And if you do stay there, be sure you say hello to his dog, Raisin!

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 finally out of box!
Zeebiz Bureau
New Delhi: After many speculations and image leaks, Samsung finally unveiled its Galaxy Note 8.0 on Sunday, a day ahead of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona beginning on February 25.
The eight-inch tablet with phone-call capability is powered by a 1.6GHz A9 quad-core processor. It runs on Android 4.1.2 Jellybean version and sports a 5 megapixel rear camera and a 1.3 megapixel front camera.
Galaxy Note 8.0 is an S Pen-enabled tablet that has a WXGA TFT screen with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. It has 2GB RAM and will come in 16GB and 32GB variants with an expandable memory of up to 64GB.
Like previous models of the Galaxy Note, the device comes with a stylus pen allowing the user to write or draw on the screen, which can be split in two to run various programs at the same time.
Its connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n (2.4 & 5 GHz), Wi-Fi Direct, AllShareCast, BT4.0, and USB2.0.
Reportedly, the Korean phone makers are planning to place this tablet to rival Apple's recently launched iPad mini and to cement its market dominance by offering devices in a variety of sizes.
The two tech giants — Samsung and Apple accounted for more than half of all smartphone sales in the final quarter of 2012 — 29.0 percent for Samsung and 22.1 percent for Apple.

Pro JavaScript Design Patterns
Chapter 1: Expressive JavaScriptBy
Why then do some still consider it to be a toy language, not worthy of the professional programmer? We think it is because people do not realize the full power of the language and how unique it is in the programming world today. JavaScript is a very expressive language, with some features that are uncommon to the C family of languages.
In this chapter we explore some of the features that make JavaScript so expressive. We look at how the language allows you to accomplish the same task in a number of different ways and how you can take alternative approaches to object-oriented programming by using concepts from functional programming. We discuss why you should use design patterns in the first place and how adapting them to JavaScript will make your code more efficient and easie to work with.
