Angiopoietin-1 is a Tie-2 receptor agonist that stabilizes vascular endothelium, promoting endothelial maturation and preventing capillary leak. Angiopoietin-2 is largely a competitive partial antagonist that is markedly elevated in humans and animal models of sepsis and other inflammatory states, directly disrupts the endothelial barrier, and has been correlated with end-organ dysfunction and death in sepsis. In the previous issue of Critical Care, Alfieri and colleagues used intravital microscopy to study the microvasculature in a murine model of sepsis. Treatment with a modified angiopoietin-1 molecule led to reversal of albumin vascular leak and improved blood flow to skeletal muscle, as well as a decrease in the levels of several inflammatory cytokines. Importantly, the angiopoietin-1 variant was administered 20 hours after initial lipopolysaccharide challenge. This study adds to the evidence that the angiopoietin/Tie-2 axis represents a modifiable pathway through which targeted therapy may be able to directly reverse part of the pathology of sepsis.
Despite decades of research and untold investments of time, energy, and money, treatments for sepsis other than antibiotics and supportive care have remained elusive. Over this time, our expanding understanding of the biology of sepsis has led to the development of targeted treatments, including immunomodulatory and anti-coagulant approaches, yet so far all of these approaches have been ultimately unsuccessful.
With this historical backdrop, much recent translational research in sepsis has focused on the importance of vascular endothelial permeability, a pathophysiologic hallmark of the syndrome and the focus of the work of Alfieri and colleagues in the previous issue of Critical Care [1]. The angiopoietin (Ang)-1/2 axis is a key regulator of endothelial permeability, operating via the Tie-2 receptor on vascular endothelial cells. Ang-1, the primary Tie-2 agonist, decreases capillary leak and inhibits leukocyte-endothelial interaction, among other effects [2–4]. In contrast, Ang-2, produced primarily in endothelial cells, functions as a context-dependent Tie-2 antagonist [5, 6]. Elegant experimental and translational studies have clearly demonstrated that Ang-2 plays a critical role in the organ injury of sepsis by mediating increased endothelial permeability [7, 8]. Likewise, clinical studies have identified a strong association between lower Ang-1 and/or higher Ang-2 levels and poor clinical outcomes in sepsis, including acute lung injury, pulmonary leak index, multi-organ dysfunction, and mortality [6, 9–11]. Thus, manipulation of the Ang-1/2 axis has become an appealing therapeutic target.
One challenge of therapeutic intervention on the Ang-1/2 axis is that recombinant human Ang-1 has poor solubility and a short half-life [12]. Thus, alternative approaches to effective delivery of Ang-1 have been investigated in experimental models. Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein-angiopoietin-1 (COMP.Ang-1) is a soluble and stabilized variant that binds more avidly to Tie-2 than native Ang-1 [12]. COMP.Ang-1, adenovirus-delivered Ang-1, recombinant human Ang-1, cell-based therapies, and a synthetic Tie-2 agonist all reduce vascular leak and end-organ dysfunction in murine sepsis models [13–19]. Each of these approaches has some appeal; Alfieri and colleagues chose to investigate the effects of a modified Ang-1 molecule, MAT.Ang-1, formed by fusing the coiled-coil domain of human matrilin-1 to the fibrinogen-like domain of human Ang-1. MAT.Ang-1 has better solubility than recombinant Ang-1 and yet more similar biologic activity to native Ang-1 than COMP.Ang-1 [12].
To study the effects of this modified Ang-1 in experimental models of sepsis, Alfieri and colleagues implanted window chambers into the dorsal skinfolds of mice, so as to visualize skeletal muscle blood flow with laser Doppler imaging. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was injected intraperitoneally at 0 and 19 hours, followed by intravenous MAT.Ang-1 at 20 hours. MAT.Ang-1 returned LPS-induced leak of albumin to control levels at 23 and 24 hours, without affecting vascular permeability in mice untreated with LPS. Microvascular perfusion at 24 hours partially improved in LPS-challenged mice treated with MAT.Ang-1, but did not return to normal. In addition to its effects on vascular permeability and perfusion, MAT. Ang-1 reduced tumor necrosis factor alpha, interferon gamma, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and IL-10 in LPS-unchallenged mice, a novel finding given that other studies have not treated well mice with Tie-2 agonists. LPS-induced elevation in IL-1β, IL-10, and IL-1 receptor antagonist was decreased by MAT.Ang-1, consistent with two other Tie-2 agonists' effects on inflammatory cytokines [14, 20].
What can we learn from this new study, and how has it advanced the field? First, MAT.Ang-1 was given after the administration of LPS, rather than prophylactically. While the therapeutic interval was short, this treatment model highlights the possibility that a Tie-2 agonist could be a feasible therapy for the microvascular dysfunction of sepsis. Second, although MAT.Ang-1 was described previously, this study represents its first therapeutic trial in this setting. Third, the in vivo imaging of skeletal muscle provides an interesting window into microvascular function and a novel demonstration of the potential therapeutic effects of manipulation of the Ang1/2 axis.
At the same time, many questions about the effects of this modified Ang-1 compound remain unanswered. In the current paper, only effects on skeletal muscle vasculature and expression of cytokines and angiogenic factors were assessed. What might lung intravital microscopy, which has become a valuable scientific tool in models of acute lung injury, reveal about the effects of MAT.Ang-1 on the pulmonary vascular bed and leukocyte tracking in the lung? More broadly, what are the effects of MAT.Ang-1 on organ injury and mortality in experimental models of sepsis? How does MAT.Ang-1 affect the immune response, including bacterial counts, in live bacterial models? Perhaps most importantly, how do different approaches to manipulating the Ang-1/2 axis compare in the same experimental sepsis models?
While many questions remain, this work by Alfieri and colleagues adds to the growing weight of literature highlighting the potential value of targeting the vascular endothelium in sepsis and will certainly pique the interest of the many researchers who are continuing the decades-long quest for the holy grail of a targeted sepsis therapy.

Eye on O.C.: Off the ice, into the fire
Will the Samuelis get into the restaurant business? If so, with Susan's background in wellness it should be a nutritious eatery.
"I like Swedish food," says Hampus Lindholm. "He'll make meatballs," says teammate Emerson Etem. And serve smoothies – he's not yet 21.
"It's not on my bucket list," says Swiss net-minder Jonas Hiller. Unless he can be the owner of a small café, "back home in the mountains."
Andrew Coglilano dreams of culinary school and watches cooking shows. "I like 'Chopped' and Giada," he says. His specialty? "I do a rib-eye with sweet potato hash."
Wearing a white dinner jacket and a jaunty smile, right winger Teemu Selanne was in his element during Dux in Tux at the Hilton Anaheim. Twenty-five female fans surrounded him at the reception, breathlessly awaiting their turn to snap cellphone photos. Later, in the ballroom, cameras flashed as he posed for media photographers with staff from Selanne Steak Tavern in Laguna Beach.
For the first time, an Anaheim Ducks player was both star athlete and restaurant owner, and the Finnish Flash relished both roles at the gala to benefit the Anaheim Ducks Foundation's S.C.O.R.E. program.
"So far, I'm really enjoying it," he said of his new job as restaurateur. Any plans to become the next Tim Hortons – the hockey player-founded chain that's the Dunkin' Donuts of Canada? "Not yet, but who knows? Let's keep the options open!"
At the gala, chefs from some of Orange County's most popular restaurants teamed up with players to cook for and serve 350 guests using makeshift stations beside elaborately decorated tables.
Selanne's chef Joshua Severson felt no pressure at center stage. "We already have a little bit of the edge," he said. "Teemu knows how to cook a few things. I wouldn't say he's cheating, but a few of the things we're featuring tonight are his favorites: venison, smoked salmon and bison."
Along with the gourmet food, wine and cocktails flowed. At the Mastro's Steakhouse table, waiters uncorked Cherry Pie pinot noir and Hundred Acre cabernet. Mesa paired its five-course menu with cocktails. "Our table's gonna be nice and sauced up," one staffer joked.
As the evening unfolded, guests had the chance to get close to their favorite players.
"It's fun interacting with them," said Ducks season ticket holder Judy Barham of Fullerton. "And it's fun seeing them dressed up. They're all such cute guys."
Players indulged themselves, too. Left winger Matt Belesky sipped pinot noir. Right winger Kyle Palmieri tried out the ravioli. And center Andrew Cogliano fantasized about enrolling in culinary school, "after hockey."
But Selanne had the best time of all, luring defenseman Francois Beauchemin away from his post at the Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen table to the Selanne Steak Tavern cooking station. Beauchemin didn't seem to mind, flipping wild mushrooms in a skillet like a pro.
"I'm thinking maybe I can go to his restaurant and get a free meal," he said.

I know it's there
That elusive spot
It can't fool me
I kid you not
A bit more light
That's what I need
To clearly see
The offending seed
Just one squeeze
I'm sure will do
And no more spot
Just a little goo
I'll stretch the skin
Just a little bit
I'm nearly there
Its goodbye zit
A few more prods
And I start to dribble
I bite my lip
And start to nibble
Its time to stop
I've gone too far
That little spot
Is now a scar
I know its there
That illusive spot
It calls to me

Negotiations resume as port terminals remain closed
Labor talks are resuming in an effort to end a strike that shut down most of the terminals at the nation's busiest port complex, the Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors, officials say.
"We are back at the bargaining table but our members will not work until we get a contract," said John Fageaux, Jr. of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, Local 63.
Officials confirmed Friday that ten of 14 container terminals at both ports remain closed amid the dispute between the union representing clerical workers and a Costa Mesa-based group representing harbor employers.
Cargo ships remained stacked up as the strike at the nation's busiest port complex continued for a fourth day.
"If it's temporary, I don't think it'll have a major impact, because most shipments for Christmas have already arrived," said Wallace Walrod, chief advisor for the Orange County Business Council.
About 70 workers from the local chapter of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union picketed seven of eight Los Angeles terminals and three of six Long Beach terminals, port officials said.
Dockworkers from the same union refused to cross the picket lines. An arbitrator had ruled that the walkout was invalid on Tuesday.
"If the strike is unauthorized, management might be able to legally hire replacements, depending on the particular rules of engagement," said Lisa Barron, a lecturer at UCI's Paul Merage School of Business. "With the high rate of unemployment, the strike is a risky move, unless job qualifications include a set of skills that many people don't have."
At issue is the union's contention that terminal operators have outsourced local clerical jobs out of state and overseas — an allegation that the shippers deny.
The shippers, in turn, claim that the union wants contract language to permit "featherbedding" — the practice of requiring employers to call in temporary employees and hire new permanent employees even when there is no work to perform.
An extended port closure would be felt most acutely by logistics and warehousing companies, mostly in the Inland Empire, said CSU Fullerton economist Adrian Fleissig. "It will have a big impact if it goes on for a long period of time, because a lot of goods are shipped through Orange County, Los Angeles and particularly the Inland Empire," Fleissig said.
Walrod said, "businesses that rely on components that are shipped primarily from Asia won't be able to manufacture and ship their products."
Bentley Kerr, president of Irvine-based Current Coaster Co., said he is hoping for a quick resolution. His company is expecting its first shipment of scooters for teens and adults to arrive from China on Dec. 6.
"I'm going to hope that my dealers and customers are patient," Kerr said. "I really have no option. I suppose that I can try a different port, but that would probably be prohibitively expensive."

|Shop indicated the camshaft position sensor was not working cause engine light came on. Went in for an exam for a car license in Vegas. Light was not on when went into shop. Light on after exam. Stayed on for 30 min. then off after stopped for groceries. What does this have to do with a license exam for the car? Do you suppose they could have messed up or messed it up , and I should have another shop do it again? I had to pay the first shop and maybe I should go back now that the light is not on. Show them the light is not on. Does my 99 Chevy Metro have a camshaft position sensor? Only one?

i am UN-familiar with Nevada DMV regulations
i suspect that the CEL can not be illuminated in your OBD2 system
as a prerequisite to obtain a
"car license" in Nevada.
your car has a CMP sensor and a CKP sensor as well
get a DVOM and see in the how to area ,
the threads for "connecting with a T pin"
testing CKP and CMP sensors
in this forum .
you will see oscilloscope images of the CKP and CMP sensor with voltages you should expect to see when testing with your DVOM
it may be possible that your timing belt has jumped a tooth or is very old and sloppy or stretched
so that the relationship between the CKP and CMP sensor is outside of what the ECM expects to see
if voltages test "good "and very close to equal with engine running on both CKP and CMP
you will need to carefully inspect the timing belt for condition and correct alignment
what is the exact DTC that your car has ?
your ECM has seen test criteria that enables or results in the ECM switching on the CEL and setting a DTC for an UNknown cam sensor problem .
this is your problem and your responsibility , NOT the repair shop's .

|Sure it's not the crankshaft position sensor? I have an older JDM engine on my 1999 Metro that does not have a crank position sensor, but the engine harness has the connector. This caused a check engine light. I jumpered the connector to the two small distributor leads and this removed the check engine light.
|Feb 5 2010, 06:30 PM Post #4
that is not good news .
you should study up on the exact function of the CKP sensor in this system .
by doing this , you have disabled some of the functions in the PCM / ECM , those functions that use CKP signal as a reference.
so now your system is using the CMP input to run the engine in place of the RPM input from the CKP .
theoretically , your system should code for the CKP signal being
Implausible or un rational .
a circuit code as your CKP circuit is shorted and has lower than expected resistance .
unless you have ID d another instance where GM has tampered with the software
like with the rear 02 sensor .

i wonder if the USA government will punish itself .....

I just used an idea from the Honda JDM guys. Their procedure seemed complicated, but essentially what I did was the same thing. Been running like this for about 60k miles. No check engine lights, runs great, good fuel mileage. I guess I could read up on it - not sure what that would accomplish.

You might expect a place that has a 70% vegetarian menu and was completely nonsmoking before it had to be to serve boring dishes made with soy milk and flaxseeds. But this coffee shop/bar/restaurant/performance space will surprise you. During brunch, the winners keep coming: The uncommon huevos are gooey, cheesy and substitute black-bean cakes for tortillas; and the fruit plate sometimes comes with passion-fruit sorbet and a slice of white-chocolate banana bread. The dinner hour brings Jeff Buckley tributes and enough surprisingly good cocktails to get through them.

Uncommon Ground is my go-to spot; I go here for dates, when folks are visiting from out of town, when I want to take myself out to dinner and when I want a good drink. I have been coming here for 10 years now and literally every time I have been here has been a great experience. The servers and bartenders are exceptional; I have always been impressed with their knowledge of food/drinks and recommendations. The food is local and seasonal(which is difficult given our climate and seasons) but has always impressed me. Meat-eaters and vegetarians alike, have been impressed with the menu. From start to finish, the drinks, sides, main courses and desserts are so good. I love the wine and beer selection and they have amazing cocktails too. This is casual enough that it's not intimidating but nice enough to impress. I love that they showcase different local artists and host live performers weekly. I love their indoor space as much as I love the patio in warm months. Love this place!
Uncommon Ground is a great spot for vegetarians looking for a good lunch or brunch option in Lakeview. Get the "cold and flu buster," hot chamomile tea with a splash of honey and vodka. If you get there early, you might be able to snag a seat by the fireplace, too.
Low-key, easy to pass by on the street, in somewhat of an unlikely location for a vegetarian restaurant, Uncommon Ground is one of my favorite spots to eat when I'm out on the North Side. The promise of a cozy atmosphere, fireplace and comfort food is too much to pass up!

Hello everyone. New here, was looking for a new pair of headphones and was directed here so was lurking the past couple days. Anyway, I am in need of some new headphones that are portable, can be driven by an iphone 3gs, ipad 3, as well as used on my pc for gaming. I mostly listen to classic rock, some metal, and a little bit of everything else, minus rap/hip hop. Having phones that are good with all genres is a plus. I do intend to bring them out and use them in public (school, etc) so isolation in the form of not letting sound out is important, I don't care about letting outside sound in. Lastly, I hope to keep them under $200, closer to around 150 or so used. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

World Superbike new-boy Randy de Puniet stopped by the Suzuki stand at Motorcycle Live to see the MotoGP bike he has been developing, as well as meet and greet fans at the show. Between signing sessions and posing for photos, we had a chat with the 250GP race-winner and MotoGP podium-finisher about developing a grand prix bike and the transition to superbikes.
When did you start talking to and working with Suzuki?
RdP: We started talking together in 2012 in Brno. I had a good experience with Suzuki in 2011 when I tried the 800 when Paul [Denning] was the team manager and I expect to ride with Suzuki in 2012 but they decided to stop to develop a new bike.
When they decided to develop the new bike we had a meeting together and I was interested to develop this bike because I had a good experience with the team and all the people in Suzuki. Eventually it was possible to mix testing with the CRT season in 2013 and in 2014 I decide to be a 100% test rider with Suzuki.
How much development had taken place before you first rode the bike and what areas did you improve?
RdP: They did good work with Nobu Aoki in Japan and the base of the bike was very good when I first rode it. But after 2013 we switch to Magneti Marelli and this was a problem because the bike was very good with the Mitsubishi and Suzuki electronics, but when we move to Magneti Marelli we are in trouble and we work a lot to adapt the bike to work with the new hardware. We are still not at the level we were with Mitsubishi but that can only mean better things are still to come from this bike in the future.
How far has development come from when you first rode the bike to now?
RdP: We change a lot of chassis, swing arms, engine, many parts changed over the season to improve the bike. But we have been focussed on the electronics more recently to improve that element and is not easy because when you test you are by yourself on the track and it is not easy to compare with different bikes. That is why Valencia was important even if the GP was difficult for us. It was important to be there to understand where we need to improve to keep developing the bike further.
Where is the bike strong?
RdP: The chassis is very good. I like it a lot and it is good because Aleix Espargaro said the same when he rode the bike for the first time so this is good for us. It corners very well and Aleix say the same thing, that he can be very aggressive in the corners on this bike.
What was it like racing a superbike for the first time at the Suzuka 8-Hour?
RdP: It was a little bit strange for me with the power and with the weight difference from grand prix bikes but we had some testing and it was good. It was in this moment that I start to think about superbike. I was enjoying the bike and I started to think it was a good option for me after grand prix.
How did you approach your first World Superbike test at Jerez?
RdP: The test in Jerez was about learning the bike and learning the tyres because they are very new for me. Everything will be new for me next season. But I am really excited because this is now something I am testing to race. I will be on the grid next year with this bike. Tests are very important as this is the only one before the break. I need to do some race simulation to understand the tyre. But I am really happy and sure we can do a good job.
It was also be important because other teams were be there and even though I was learning the bike and getting used to the team I was also be able to see where we are at and what we can do next season. We need to be more consistent than we have been this year but I think at the end of the season we can finish in a good position in the championship.
Are you looking forward to getting back into competitive racing?
RdP: I miss racing this year and when I ride in Valencia I was happy because I race in Suzuka but this was different for me. So I am looking forward to superbike and I want to race and I want to fight and I want to fight at the top. With the team I think I have a good opportunity to do that.
But you'll still be testing the GSX-RR throughout 2015?
RdP: I will develop the Michelin tyre for Suzuki and test the GP bike, still but my priority is to do the best job for Crescent in superbike. I am pleased to keep riding the GP bike and you always improve with more time on a bike and I am always learning, but World Superbikes is my focus.

My wife and I stayed in the Velvet Ridge room and it was amazing. This was my first B&B experience and the quality blew us away.

We would recommend Lookout Point to anyone planning to visit Hot Springs! Jim & Yvette Lafayette Louisiana

This Inn is like staying in a 5 Star Hotel where you are the only guest. The Romance room is spacious yet cozy and relaxing. A Jacuzzi bath, fireplace Chase lounge and excellent bed make this room a complete getaway. The balcony overlooking the gardens and Lake Hamilton is a perfect morning coffee retreat, or a pleasant evening view of the lights and sounds of the lake and nature. The entire experience is one of relaxation and personal attention by a most gracious host and staff. The breakfast was more than we expected and prepared by a wonderful chef. This visit was one of our most treasured memories of a lifetime. We will be going back to this Inn in the future.

We were in New Orleans for the weekend and were driving home Monday but got a call to attend a business meeting at noon on that Monday. We had to get up very early Monday morning to make the meeting. Decided to spend the night in Hot Springs and rather then staying at a chain hotel we decided to stay aqt Lookout Point. It was a wonderful experience and we had a delightful breakfast before heading home on Tuesday. I would recommend Lookout Point to anyone wanting to have a great lodging experience in Hot Springs.

hehehe! hey insanity! i live in leb and waitin for you! seriously I AM!! loved thiS!!
Hm, interesting. I like the twisted perspective from this narrator --to think that insanity is a gift? Kinda creepy, especially when you know people who suffer so much from it o-o scar-ry stuffs...
Oh? Isn't this interesting. Pretty good. Perhaps, just as a suggestion mind, you could change the title to "Dear (whoever the note is to)," and reveal at the very end who it is from with "signed, Insanity." Just a thought. Nice work.
this is interesting, its kind of dark to me but i like it

"This is an excellent collection for crochet beginners and those of us who have crocheted for years. For me in the early days I had to learn to slow down and count each stitch. This is a main problem for misaligned work. Also understanding what gauge is and being sure that the first stitches and rows match the patterns gauge instruction. Sometimes changing hook size solves a problem. How long have you been crocheting?"
"I've got to Pin this one! This is an adorable craft to make with children while they are home on school vacation this week. Crafting sessions are perfect for February vacation in the cold states of New England. Isn't it great to share special time with children or grandchildren? This is an excellent craft for daycare or the babysitter to share for entertainment."
"I actually thought the magnets were inside the material. It's excellent that they are attached underneath. I reaIly think this is a great idea. I would consider making one for my mother. She has vision problems so not only would this keep her straight pins in place but she'd be able to feel them if concentrating on a project. I'm thinking that a solid color would be a better idea for someone who is elderly and having problems seeing things. Do you agree?"
"The two strand Fold basket is a very clever pattern. Making this and keeping in your kitchen to use it for a catch all. This could be made in two colors and would so cute. The pattern dos not seem too complicate and probably would work up fast. This would make a great gift or use it for a basket on the back of the toilet. It is make with cotton yarn which is very easy to work with. I am definitely going to make this one up."
"The mop or sweeper cover is a great idea. They are so expensive to buy and these would work great. The cover is made with cotton yarn which is great for this purpose. The pattern is very simple to follow and should be able to be worked up in one sitting. I know I am going to make a couple of these for my mop. Great project."

I love this idea! It's so much more unique than just hanging a painting on the wall, and it adds some dimension to the room.

How did you attach the drawers to the wall? And, did you attach the drawers to each other in any way?

Everybody loves a triple threat. Example: Brian Austin Green. Dude can act and rap . Not only that, he can marry well too. He is living the American dream.
Then there's Alex Ovechkin. Not only does our Russian savior crush opponents and score sick goals on the regular, he's also an up-and-coming musician. Surely you've heard him rap. If there were an iPod in heaven, Sasha Belyi's Champion would be on eternal repeat.
So imagine our joy on Tuesday when Russian websites reported that Ovechkin was making music again.

If Dave Lombardo's Not Starting, I'm Not Departing
(image culled from Metal Sucks.net, though it failed to lift the spirits of Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi)
(image culled from Metal Sucks.net, though it failed to lift the spirits of Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi)
The Indianapolis Star's Candace Buckner fails to mention, however, that the movie "produced in Lance Stephenson's honor" is a shot-for-shot remake of this classic. The Pacers were gonna opt for this one, but Larry Bird thought it was a little too hard to improve on the original
(if Carney's rugby career is over, there's always food blogging)
With apologies to West Ham United (if not Michael Jackson) for the above headline, some you might recall a Vice item from earlier this month that alleged the practice of urinating into one's own mouth, dubbed "bubbling", was a full-blown craze within the Australian skating community. Earlier today, Deadspin reported that Cronulla Sharks halfback/fullback Todd Carney's 5 year contract with the NRL side was terminated after a photo of the 28 year-old pissing into his own wide open mouth was circulated via social media. In the view of Sydney Morning Herald columnist Brad Walter, Carney was a
pissing ticking time-bomb waiting to go off :
Throughout his career, officials, coaches and teammates at the Raiders, Roosters and Sharks have stood by the talented playmaker and each time he has let them down.
No other club is again likely to do so after a string of misdemeanours that include drink driving and driving while disqualified after a police chase in Canberra, allegedly urinating on the head and neck of another patron at an ACT bar, damaging a vehicle he jumped on in Goulburn, another drink driving charge at the Roosters and breaching a player-enforced alcohol ban that led to his sacking from the club.
As a result, Carney has been banned from his home town of Goulburn for a year, warned by a judge that he would go to jail if he was convicted by another court, sacked from the Raiders and Roosters, deregistered by the NRL and banned from playing Super League in England because of his criminal offences.
It is understood he did not upload the photo circulating on social media but Carney has already been linked to a bizarre apparent craze known as ''bubbling''. It is a story that will travel around the world in the same way as John Hopoate's finger poking antics and Joel Monaghan's simulated sex act with a dog.
Earlier this year, USA Today declared Texas Tech's Kliff Kingsbury, "the coolest coach in college football". Hopefully he can use some of that street cred in the future to recruit a cornerback who doesn't hit women. The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal's Sarah Rafique and Don Williams report Nigel Bithel II, a Red Raider freshman, managed to assault and injure another TTU student-athlete, in this case, one far more accomplished, during a pickup basketball game yesterday :
Bethel reportedly punched Lady Red Raider G Amber Battle in the face, breaking a bone, the A-J has learned.
Blayne Beal, a Tech spokesman, confirmed there was an incident between two student athletes Saturday afternoon at the recreation center. Beal said campus officials are gathering information from both parties.
Tech women's basketball coach Candi Whitaker said she was unable to comment Saturday evening.
Following the incident, Battle posted to Twitter, "Pray for me y'all." She later posted, "Thank y'all for the calls, texts and visits."
From a Lubbock location Saturday evening, a Twitter account under the name Nigel Bethel II had a post that said, "Trouble always seems to find me … "
The morning after his NY Post colleague Tim Bontemps detailed the stunning developments that have Nets head coach Jason Kidd most likely leaving to take over Milwaukee's basketball operations — after attempts to torpedo Billy King apparently came up short —the Post's Mike Vacarro has a laundry list of ethical issues concerning Kidd to raise, but not before declaring Brooklyn's better off without him ("their chances improve exponentially if they're coached by any of a dozen legit candidates")
Kidd's been doing this since his freshman year at Cal, when he led a mutiny that wound up costing Lou Campanelli his job with 10 games left in the season.
And never were his Machiavellian methods more on display then the evening of Dec. 5, 2007, when, unhappy with the Nets' unwillingness to trade him or extend his contract, he conducted a one-man job action, calling in sick and missing a game against the Knicks at the Meadowlands when the only thing wrong with him was a sour attitude.
Kidd was a genius player, and none of his clubhouse-lawyering and coach-killing will ever change that. But his off-court conniving is every bit as much a part of who he is, who he always has been, as his on-court brilliance. The Nets, of all teams, knew that as well as anybody, and hired him anyway last summer.
And then, in case anyone forgot, he chased a reluctant Lawrence Frank for weeks to be his top aide, demanded that the Nets make him the top-paid assistant in the league…then exiled him about 15 minutes into the season.
Earlier this week, UK terrestrial broadcaster Channel 4 premiered "Dispatches : How To Fix A Football Match", a collaboration with The Telegraph that purported to blow the lid off gambling-influenced soccer fraud, with content including but not limited to, "the conviction of match fixers who tried to infiltrate the English game and those offering to help fix a match involving a team competing in the World Cup." The Independent's Andrew Tong was somewhat less than blown away, writing, "they say that match-fixing is a bad thing, but frankly it may be the only way the England football team will ever win a major tournament ."
It was a shocking programme. One man claimed to have fixed five friendlies before the last World Cup in South Africa by suggesting to the country's federation that he would pay all the fees and expenses of the referees and linesmen. Hmm, nothing dodgy about that at all.
But that was just the start: we heard of matches with no fans; games involving fake national teams; fixing entire tournaments at Under-18 level with the gangs shouting instructions to the players from the stands; and even betting on games that simply didn't exist even though a stadium would be hired and a commentary team commissioned.
Strangely, however, the idea of pundits talking a load of old nonsense about nothing in particular sounds quite familiar.
(possibly the wrong Joe Gibbs — research dept. is checking on this)
When I try to come up with a name of a respected public figure who probably travels in the most culturally diverse social circles, almost without hesitation the name of former Washington head coach-turned-NASCAR maven Joe Gibbs comes up. Because who would know more about cultural sensitivity than NFL players, coaches and stock car drivers and fans? On Saturday, Gibbs explained to a writer from the AP that the ongoing angst over Daniel Snyder's refusal to change the team name stemmed from…well, he's not quite sure. It seems there can't possibly be another side to the issue!
Asked about the controversy before the NASCAR race Saturday at Kentucky Speedway, the Pro Football Hall of Fame coach and racing team owner defended the Redskins name.
"Never once did I hear anybody ever say anything negative about the name Redskins," Gibbs said about his time with the team. "It was always prideful, it was courage involved. We have a song, 'Hail to the Redskins,' and so everything, everything about that name has been positive for me and my past."
(if you're thinking this post was just a cheap excuse to post the above song…you're totally right)
Detroit Athletic Co.'s Dan Holmes compares the experience of listening to Tigers radio broadcasters Dan Dickerson and Jim Price to "someone invading a hole in my head and inflicting pain…it's brutal." While crediting the former with "a very good voice", Holmes considers the typical Detroit broadcast to be "Dickerson telling you what he knows about baseball while he occasionally interjects the pitches and what happens on the field." (link swiped from Repoz and Baseball Think Factory)
Dickerson: There's a grounder, the throw across and it pulls the first baseman. Martinez is out. No, now he's being called safe. [LOOOONG PAUSE] That ball was hit to Beltre and he threw the ball high and wide and it was dropped by Pena. Martinez is safe on an error.
What was he watching? How does he not tell us WHERE the groundball was hit immediately, and what happened at first CORRECTLY the first time? It's radio, you can pause a millisecond and wait to see what the umpire at first calls. Instead, Dickerson just uses his verbal shorthand and fails to call the play correctly the first time. He does this usually once every few games. He actually does.
If I could have a three wishes, I'd use two of them in the typical way (revenge against my enemies and all-encompassing wealth and power), but the third, the third wish, I'd use that to give Dan Dickerson the gift of description. He really has no idea how to describe something in an explicit way, which is really THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF HIS JOB. he's like pone of those annoying friends who starts conversations in the middle of a story and expects us to understand what the hell he's talking about.
There's a drive and he dives and it's caught out there deep on the warning track. what a play!
WHERE was that drive and WHO hit it? And WHO caught it WHERE? And HOW many guys were on base?!? And what's the score?
[Driving off the road into a ditch]
Like most persons with ears, even when the on-field product sucks (which is the majority of the time), I find the repartee between Mets TV voices Gary Cohen, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez to be reliably effervescent, even if Keith occasionally seems the more impatient of the three (or the least tolerant of female trainers in the dugout). During last Sunday's SNY telecast of a matinee in Miami, Hernandez' reaction to a photograph of Padres reliever Alex Torres — the first pitcher to don a bulky, newly designed cap with a protective liner — raised the ire of New York Post sports media critic Phil Mushnick, who likened the sneering to that of "a schoolyard bully".
Yes, Torres looked odd. Yet, clearly, if he were determined to diminish the chances of a fractured skull or brain injury from a line drive to the side of his head, his head, if not his cap, was on straight.
Well, Hernandez took a macho, style-over-function stance, mocking Torres for looking "absurd." (The same was heard when batting helmets arrived, then grew larger until they included earflaps and would be worn by base coaches.)
He wasn't done. He suggested Torres and anyone who would wear such a thing is a coward: "If you're scared, get a dog."
Ugh! Either Hernandez was unaware of the dozens of annual, all-levels episodes that have pitchers rushed to hospitals — some with permanent neurological damage — or such episodes have not yet left an impression on him.
In Torres' case, last year with the Rays, he replaced Alex Cobb after Cobb was nailed in the head with a line drive. After Saturday's game, Torres recalled he still could hear the crack against Cobb's head — and Torres was in the bullpen. "I'm glad he's alive."
Despite losing to Germany earlier today on a 55th minute strike by Thomas Müller, the US Men's National Team advanced to the 2014 World Cup knockout stages by virtue of a 2nd place finish in Group G that was sealed with Ghana's 2-1 defeat to Portugal at Estádio Nacional. The latter result came on the heels of the Ghana Football Federation's last second delivery of some $3 million dollars to the team, a payment that might not have happened nearly so fast had training not been boycotted two days earlier. From the Guardian's Stuart James :
For coach James Appiah, the stand-off could not have happened at a worse time. "Every coach wouldn't love to be in this situation where players are requesting monies, considering the fact you are playing a very important game," he said. "For the past two days I've had sleepless nights, I can't even close my eyes. These things are normally sorted out before the competition, you can't keep telling the players the money will come. Unfortunately, I've found myself in that situation, trying to cope with it. The good thing is the president of the country will step in."
Appiah would not disclose how much exactly the Ghana squad were demanding – "The players would kill me if I revealed it," he said, laughing – but he defended their stance. "It's not about being paid reward for anything, it's got to do with an appearance fee, which I think every country pays its players, not just Ghana. It's a right."
Asked why the players could not have the money transferred electronically, Appiah said: "The practice in Ghana has always been to pay players in cash. Some players have not got accounts in Ghana. The system in Africa is totally different to Europe. You need to consider those factors. I'm not saying that it is the best way. But we are coming from different areas and you need to understand how it works."

Cons: Driver issues. After playing games and then doing heavy surfing on the web, the display driver resets and the card starts to run awful until a reboot. Put an old 5770 in and the issue never reoccurred.
Other Thoughts: Works great when it wants too. Staying with the 7790 but going with another brand.READ FULL REVIEW

Cons: Not really a con but for some, size. A perfect squeeze in my cooler master storm.
Other Thoughts: Hadnt been using long yet, but runs everything maxed so far and hasnt gotten hot.READ FULL REVIEW
