Baghdad •Secretary of State John Kerry told Nouri al-Maliki, the prime minister of Iraq, on Sunday that Iraq must take steps to stop Iran from shipping arms to Syria through Iraqi airspace. But an hour and 40 minutes of discussions here, which Kerry said were sometimes "spirited," failed to yield a breakthrough on the issue.
As Kerry prepared to leave Iraq afterward, he warned that the Iranian flights were sustaining the government of the Syrian president, Bashar Assad, and were undermining Iraq's standing with U.S. lawmakers.
"Anything that supports President Assad is problematic," Kerry said at a news conference here, where he voiced hope that progress might be made in resolving the issue.
Kerry's visit to Iraq on Sunday was the first by a U.S. secretary of state since 2009. He came at a time when concerns are growing over Iraq's role in the crisis in Syria, and when the United States' influence in Iraq has been dwindling.
The State Department has been sharply reducing its huge presence here, and its diplomats have seemed powerless to affect the course of events on two of Washington's pressing concerns: Iraqi tolerance for the Iranian weapons shipments to Syria and issuance of arrest warrants for certain Sunni leaders by the Shiite-dominated Iraqi government.
The Obama administration has been less engaged in Iraq lately, as it has sought to "normalize" relations, and the Iraqis have distanced themselves from their former occupiers. And there is a sense among many Iraqi officials that the Americans are no longer willing to marshal the influence they still have.
"The Americans are not using claws or teeth," Mowaffak al-Rubaie, al-Maliki's former national security adviser, said shortly before Kerry's visit.
A headline Sunday in the Iraqi newspaper Al Mada referring to President Barack Obama's trip last week to the Middle East read, "Obama Visited the Region but Ignored Iraq." The article noted that "Iraq was not even mentioned in Obama's speeches to the region" and said that "all the protests and bombings in Iraq haven't come to the attention of Obama."
The Iranian flights, which are vitally important for Assad's forces, represent a major challenge for U.S. strategy concerning Syria. Kerry has repeatedly said that the Obama administration wants to change Assad's "calculation" that he can prevail, and persuade him to relinquish power and agree to a political transition.
But Robert Ford, the U.S. ambassador to Syria and the senior State Department official dealing with the Syrian opposition, told Congress last week that Iran has been "plussing up" its aid and strengthening Assad's belief that he can defeat the rebels militarily. A senior State Department official traveling with Kerry said that planes carrying Iranian arms reach Syria almost daily.
U.S. officials have repeatedly insisted to Iraq that it should request that the Iranian flights land and be inspected. But the Iraqis have done so only twice since July, the State Department official said. In one of those cases, the plane was on its way back to Tehran from Syria, and its cargo was already delivered.
Iran has said the flights carry only humanitarian aid.
As a senator and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Kerry suggested that the U.S. consider linking its support for Iraq with al-Maliki's willingness to order inspections of Iranian flights.
"If so many people have entreated the government to stop, and that doesn't seem to be having an impact," Kerry said in September, "that sort of alarms me a little bit, and seems to send a signal to me, maybe we should make some of our assistance or some of our support contingent on some kind of appropriate response."
But as a secretary of state, Kerry has been less confrontational.
In his meeting with al-Maliki on Sunday, Kerry argued that Iraq ought to have a role in international discussions about Syria's post-Assad future, but to secure that role, it was important that Iraq stop facilitating aid for Assad.
"We agreed to try to provide more information with respect to this," Kerry said afterward, alluding to Iraqi demands that the U.S. government share with Iraq its intelligence on the Iranian flights, to show that they were carrying arms.
Whether that will sway al-Maliki is unclear. Iran has an enormous stake in Syria: It is Iran's staunchest Arab ally and a conduit for supporting Hezbollah, the Lebanese Islamist movement.
Iraq, too, has a lot at stake there. The prospect of a rebel victory in Syria and the rise of a Sunni-led government, al-Maliki fears, might embolden Sunnis in Iraq. So his Shiite-dominated government has increasingly sided with Assad as well.
U.S. promises to help shape a stable democracy in Syria have been met with skepticism by some Iraqi officials. In an interview late in 2012, Sheik Humam Hamoudi, the chairman of the Iraqi Parliament's foreign affairs committee, recalled a visit in September from A.
Elizabeth Jones, the acting assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern Affairs.
"What she said was that they would educate the Syrians on how to be a democracy," Hamoudi said, adding with a hint of sarcasm, "just like what happened in Iraq."
Concerning Iraq's fraught domestic politics, which lurch from crisis to crisis, Kerry encouraged Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish lawmakers to cooperate, and pressed the Iraqi government to reconsider its recent decision to postpone provincial elections in two Sunni-dominated provinces Anbar and Nineveh where street protests have erupted in recent months.
"Everyone needs to vote simultaneously," Kerry said Sunday, adding that "no country knows more about voting under difficult circumstances than Iraq." The elections had been scheduled for April 20.
Kerry also asked Sunni leaders to give up their boycott of participation in the Iraqi Cabinet. He met with Osama al-Nujaifi, a Sunni who is the speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, and spoke by telephone with Massoud Barzani, the leader of the Kurdish regional government, who is in Erbil.
"It's an important moment," Kerry said at the start of a meeting with al-Nujaifi, alluding to the stalled efforts at political reconciliation. "There's a lot happening, and a lot not happening."

The Canisius men's cross country team used a sweep of the top-five places to win its seventh-consecutive Little Three Championship on Friday.
Griffs' sophomore Michael Anvelt used a late pass of teammate and fellow sophomore Cooper Roach to capture the individual crown by four seconds (15:48). Behind Anvelt and Roach, Canisius took nine of the top eleven spots.
A trio of freshmen rounded out the top-five in their first collegiate race, with Brennan Root, Xavier Savageau and Jeff Antolos took third through fifth respectively.
"The performance of the men was really what we scripted," said head cross country coach Nate Huckle. "The plan was to go out relaxed and let some of the Niagara and St. Bonaventure runners take the lead for the first mile, then really assert ourselves in the second mile. We executed that and by the time we got through the backside of the course we had one through five."
The victory marked the eighth straight men's title for the Griffs, who've won 28 of the 43 Little Three Championships.
For the first time in seven seasons Canisius was unable to sweep the event, with the women placing second to St. Bonaventure. The win marked the Bonnies first women's title since the event added the women's race in 1983.
The Griffs had three crack the top five, led by the 2010 Individual Champion, senior Mikelle Cala who took home fourth with a time of 19:22. Freshman Haley Keene followed just three seconds behind for fifth place, and junior Jamie Wallace finished in seventh.
Sophomore Robin Wagner (11th) and freshman Macey Walker (13th) rounded out the Canisius scoring.
"It definitely was not what we're capable of at this point," Huckle said. "The women just needed to get out a little quicker, they let the Bonnies get away from them a bit. They let them get a little too far ahead and never caught up, but it's a mistake we won't make again."
Next up for Canisius is the annual trip to Notre Dame for the National Catholic Championship. That race will take place on Friday, Sept. 20 with the women starting at 4:15.

text: Re: Will The Lack of A Legitimate Big Man Put Us At A Disadvantage During The Playoff You are correct. He may not be move the heavier guys, though strength in the legs, correct body positioning and foot movement are also very important in being able to defend to say nothing of jumping ability which can be used to block shots on players that are heavier and can't jump, especially when the defender is almost 7' tall (AJ) has long reach and leap over tall buildings from a standing start like AJ can. LOL A slow heavy big can not effectively stop the penetration of a fast guard or fast #3, which is where most of the scoring comes from in the NBA. A quicker more athletic big can. There are to my knowledge no fast/quick heavies who can play defense on the trading block.

Activities planned for Veterans Day Monday
Veterans Day is Monday, Nov. 11. This is a federal holiday, observed on Nov. 11, that honors all veterans who have served in the armed services.
The day coincides with the Armistice Day and Remembrance Day holidays, which are celebrated in other parts of the world, and also marks the anniversary of the end of World War I. The Armistice with Germany went into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, formally ending all major hostilities of World War I.
In Miles City, to celebrate Veterans Day, members of American Legion Post 5 will be raising the big American flags at the Eastern Montana State Veterans Cemetery starting at 8 a.m. on Nov. 11. They will take the big flags down at 4:30 that afternoon.
Anyone who would like to help with the flag raising or lowering is welcome to do so by coming to the cemetery a little before the morning or afternoon ceremony. The public also is welcome to the cemetery to observe the raising and lowering of the flags. The flags will be flying over the cemetery throughout the day on Nov. 11, and everyone is invited to drive by or stop for awhile and view them while they are on display.
Also in observance of Veterans Day, American Legion members have placed small American flags on the graves of veterans at the Eastern Montana Veterans Cemetery and the Custer County Cemetery. Members of the Builders Club at Washington Middle School assisted in setting out the flags at the Custer County Cemetery.
A Veterans Day program is planned Monday at 11 a.m. in the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall at 119 N. Sixth St. Tammy Criswell will sing the "Star Spangled Banner." The VFW post will provide a color guard. Keynote speaker for the program is Kevin Thoeny of Miles City, local VFW commander and national VFW aide-de-camp. Wava Roach, VFW Auxiliary chaplain, will give the invocation and benediction.
Members of the VFW Auxiliary will have a POW/MIA (Prisoner of War/Missing in Action) table in remembrance of veterans who haven't returned home.
Following the program, members of the VFW Auxiliary will serve soup, sandwiches and refreshments.
All of the Veterans Day activities are open to the public.

only to sit there and go OMFG for the first time in your life at sone insanely young age realizing that you just witnessed some of the most horrific plotline thrown on the screen in history. Jefferson Starship? Itchy? Lumpy? Bea Arthur? ART CARNEY! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Just when you thought your childhood was destroyed forever... your faith in all that was Star Wars was torn from you...
The cartoon came on...
And you got your first glimpse of the so beloved bounty hunter... and the Star Wars universe lived again!
Well... at least until the first time you saw Jar Jar on screen.

Yes my friends it involves his favorite Vixen of all! Carrie Fisher. The Sniffers Fantasy would start out by giving her the most beautiful flowers with an amazing fragerance!
Sniff on my dear Leia! Sniff on!
I was actually just gonna post that:

I'd still, um, date her.
The sad thing is...a lot of us prob would. Amazing the impact one woman had on so many adolescent male minds...

ECO-STRUCTURE recently caught up with Abbie Faust, lead architect for enCORE, The Ohio State University's entry for the U.S. Department of Energy's 2011 Solar Decathlon.
How is your solar paneling unique?
The solar panels on the enCORE house are thin-film panels, a cost-effective alternative to the more expensive monocrystalline panels. These panels also have the benefit of not losing as much efficiency in cloudy weather, making them ideal for Ohio weather. They're made in Ohio as well. We designed the panels to be integrated into the form of the house. Its monolithic form slopes up from south to north, veiling the solar racking behind.
What other sustainable features have you incorporated into your design?
The enCORE house took a holistic approach to conserve energy. The exterior floor, walls, and ceiling are super insulated, the triple-pane windows are strategically located to allow for ventilation and natural light, and the roof form collects rainwater that is filtered along the breezeway. Our solar hot-air collectors save energy in both the summer and winter. We used Ohio materials when possible.
What was the inspiration for your design, and does it display any regional influences?
From the beginning, this house was designed as a home for a family taking advantage of every square foot. The program, plan strategies, and exterior focus on an urban family's needs, including our version of the front porch, two bedrooms, and a full kitchen and bath. The extruded polycarbonate skin pays homage to the local industrial site, while the next layer of cedar is a familiar residential exterior cladding.
How has the new affordability criteria affected the design of your house?
The affordability criteria is a welcome challenge that grounds the competition in reality. Knowing that this was to be a family home, we wanted it to be spacious and affordable. Using materials like the extruded polycarbonate typically seen on greenhouses helped us achieve a cost-effective skin on the large façades.
What will happen to the house after the Solar Decathlon?
We expect the enCORE house to be on Ohio State's main campus in Columbus for a year to be visited by students and the public. After the first year, we're hoping to make the house part of a new low-income postindustrial residential area near campus.

Curing Concrete.
I finally got my garage floor poured yesterday. It is 6" thick except around the edges where it goes to 10". Strength is 25MPA.
How long until I can park on it. Everyone I talk to has a different answer ( from today to not for 28 days )
What is a safe amount of time?
For me
I waited a week. No problems. Your results may vary!!
If you sprinkle water on it until it sets it will set harder.
Concrete will set underwater, the reaction in it setting causes heat and if you cool it you can prevent cracking.
A week would be plenty. The 28 day number comes from the fact that concrete reaches its maximum strengh in that time. It is the spec for critical structures like bridges, & buildings. For a parking slab, especially one that is 6" thick - normal is 4", adequate strength is reached in a couple of days.
Sounds like you got a pretty good start on the garage with a slab like that.:drool:
do what Malc sed
keep it moist for a day or two, it'll cure better and harder....
i can't tell you why, but when i did concrete work, we always kept it wet.....
I would give it about a week before driving and a little longer before any major usage. Keep it wet as long you can some people will also place old carpet or burlap on top of the slab and soak it down.
1 week and wash it off everyday or twice a day if the sun hits it. Keeping it moist lets the concrete cure better. Make sure you have control joints sawed into the concrete also. It will crack so you want control joints so the cracks will follow them instead of going all over the place. How many times have you been out walking around on it trying it on for size?
My Dad was a cement finisher for 46 years. He always said the perfect cure for concrete is 99 years under water. I think that's overkill. On a six inch slab with wire mesh, I'd keep it wet for a week before I drove onto it. If you can scuff it with your shoe, it's still green - be carful for a few days, it'll cure.
On the plus side the wife and I are buying an acreage so I will get to do this again. I am planning a 40 by 60 auto shop and a 20 by 30 wood shop.
I was also planning to build a smaller auto shop so I did not have to heat so much in the winter. I spent $300+ per month last winter just keeping the house warm.
I did not use mesh opting instead for 10MM rebar at 18 inch intervals. I assume it should be strong enough for the cars I own.
How about posting us some pics. I bet you are looking forward to the next one also!! Congrats. Nothing better than a new garage.
:( :sweat: :( Jealous. :(
Hopefully I will experience the "New Garage Smell" soon too! hehehe
Is there a such thing as keeping the new floor TOO WET as it cures? :confused:
Senor...After it is poured and set up you can't keep it too wet. As Primemovers dad stated the perfect cure would be 99 years underwater. The slower it cures the tougher the concrete is. You ever see them pour a sea wall? Put the forms in the water, back the truck or barge up to the forms and pour away. Concrete sea walls last for years and years without deterioration. The best thing you could do is dampen it down and cover it with plastic for awhile, but for the most part just wash it off once or twice a day will do the job. The biggest thing with concrete is make sure you get the expansion joints sawed in to control cracking. Now a SAFETY LESSON...ALWAYS wash off concrete if it gets splashed on you. I was pouring footers for my first garage by myself and the guy running the concrete truck told me to be sure to keep it washed off or I could get concrete poisoning. Never heard of it. I worked around concrete with my dad for years and never had a problem. On concrete guy in town was known as the barefoot concreter. He never heard of it. Well...I got it. When I was pouring the footers, I was down in the concrete. It came up over the top of my boots a couple of times but I didn't think it was anything to be concerned about. I finished up pulled my boots off and my ankles were a little red. Just about like a mild sunburn. I took a shower, washed them off, and they looked a little redder. They were starting to hurt a little so I layed down on the couch. This was on a Sat. By Sun. they were really painful but I figured it would go away with a little ointment on them and some Tylenol. By Monday I couldn't get my shoes on, feet swollen up about 4 times their normal size, couldn't walk at all, and severe pain. Made it to the doctor. He stated do not go back home, go straight to the hospital. I was on antibiotic IV's for 5 days straight, physical therapy for 2 weeks after that to keep the circulation moving, and off work for 2 months. Huge scars on my ankles from the chemical burns and discoloration of the skin. It is something I never ever would want to go thru again. So if ever messing with concrete, use safety precautions and make sure you keep it washed off.
Did you put a hand print in it or write your name or something?

Vera Baird, Solicitor General of Great Britain, announced new procedures that will be used in rape trials. Expert witnesses will be allowed to review with juries the psychological impact of rape on a victim as well as point out it is normal for rape victims to delay reporting such crimes. Juries will also learn that in many cases, the rape victim does know the assailant. Baird is considering altering the law regarding the extent to which a victim who took alcohol or drugs is capable of giving an informed "consent" regarding sexual relations. At present, fewer than 6% of reported rape cases in England result in a conviction which is considerably down from the 33% figure of convictions in 1977.
There is scant doubt sexual promiscuity is more openly discussed and presented in the media than in prior times in history. This inundation of information and graphic imagery plays into the act of rape, and there is need for greater protection for women who are caught in a society in which too many males believe they have rights to impose sex upon women. Ms. Baird is making an important first step in dealing with this issue.

I have been back into waterfoul hunting for the last 6 years now and in the past I have always just used mallard decoys or whatever species decoy I would pick up somewhere. I finally invested in a couple different sets of decoys for the 2013 season. I now have pintails, widgeons, green-wing teals, and ringnecks to go along with my mallards, but now I have a question about the placement of my decoys. With all the different species would I randomly place them in my spread or separate them by species? Maybe just separate the pintails and the rest random?
I appreciate any advice and thanks in advance.
This picture here would be a typical early season spread for me.

blockquoteBy Adam Roberts
blockquote element is a mechanism for marking up a block of text quoted from a person or another document or source. It may be just a few lines, or it may contain several paragraphs (which you'd mark up using nested p elements).
The W3C recommendation states that web page authors should not type quotation marks in the text when they're using
blockquote—we can leave it to the style sheets to take care of this element of presentation (just as it should be when the
q element is used for short, inline quotations). In practice, though, many authors do choose to include quote marks, as browser support for automatically inserting the language-appropriate quotation marks is extremely poor.
By default, most browsers' basic built-in style sheets render
blockquote content with left and right indentations, as shown in the below image. As a consequence, many people learned to use
blockquote to indent the text as a way to draw attention to a paragraph or section of a page. Of course, this is bad practice—it's simply the wrong markup for the job. Only use
blockquote if you're actually quoting a source; to visually indent a block of text that's not a quotation, use CSS (
margin-left, or any other style property you care to choose).
Note that XHTML allows the
blockquote element to contain only other block-level elements (
script element is also allowed).
The example below is a quote from an as yet unidentified source who despairs about the stupidity of stock photography:

It's missing alt text, so it's difficult to determine what it's supposed to mean. Presumably "oooh, there's been a global ecological catastrophe and we've got the last four leaves in the world and we've patented the DNA". Or they're rubbing ganja leaves together to extract the resin, but are too stupid to recognise Marijuana so are trying it with willow or silver birch.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by fan, Feb 12, 2012.
They are not retiring now...but they know they will have to retire in the next few years.
Jamie made a statement yesterday on their official message board about it:
They are definitely entering a "less-than-full-time" phase of their professional skating careers, but as quebecoise pointed out (thank you!), they are NOT retiring.
The reporter/headline writer of that article definitely made it sound like they are - but it's a case of being misunderstood/selective quoting/dramatic story framing.
That article was depressing. I hate to think of people retiring mainly because of the money.
I insist that the fans are still there. But since there is no Champions on Ice type tour they don't come out. Stars on Ice isn't good enough. They dropped the ball when they didn't feature the international stars from Vancouver. If there had been a tour in the US that included Weir, Lambiel, Plushenko, Kim, Asada, etc., people would have turned out. That article almost makes it sound like people won't pay attention to figure skating unless there's another scandalous incident to bring people back. Even though the economy is bad, people still go to concerts. There's no reason they wouldn't turn out for the right show. They need to start from scratch.
"Salé and Pelletier were offered a spot on this year's Stars on Ice tour, but at a price that Salé says undervalues them as the industry slips. Look, Pelletier says, the numbers tell a story."
Several quotes like this appeared in the story. I find it hard to feel sorry for them if they've priced themselves out of the market.
with ekaterina skating this year ( double gold medalist) one would think that they are paying her an ok amount- do you think it is just an excuse for them? they cut the whole tour down this year so i guess they are paying less- but would some not be better than nothing? or can they make more staying at home and coaching? i always think it much be so hard to retire when every day fro tha last how many years of your life you have skated- or got out in front of an audience to preform-
i was surprised that they continued when they spilt- i have a lot of admiration for the way they have carried themselves during what i am sure was a painful time for the them personally.
they seem to be very supportive of each other- i cheered for them as amaetur skaters and enjoyed them as people when i chatted with them and in their pro carrier- i hope that they are still around the skating community when tehy do hang up their skates !!!
I heard they are now back together according to the rumor mill ... can anyone confirm?
if all it took was "these" stars then COI would still be around. They had Weir etc..
Kim, Asada and others can make a LOT more in thier home country then wandering around the US and honestly, if it's not an Olympic Gold Medalist, then the US market isn't showing up. I know that sounds harsh, but facts are facts.... American's tend to only care about "American" athletes and after Kwan the "fan favorite" hasn't been thier in the US fan base. Think about it when COI was touring the 'headliner" was Michelle. Not the other great stars...
The reason they aren't turning out is they don't want to go. And adding European and Asian skaters isn't the solution. Want a US tour, we need a US "star" and there isn't one right now. (Go ask 10 people who are NOT figuring skating fans to name a skater they would go see.... I bet that's interesting...)
From the article above
"They have struggled since to maintain privacy throughout their divorce, but decline to comment
. We have a son that we love very much, and he is our priority, she adds. It's life. And we're human. It's not what happens to you, it's what you do about it. I think we're doing a good job. "
Maybe we should just take our lead from them???
I don't think they are together anymore, that being said, I think they need to realize what the market north of the border is here. Figure Skating just isn't as popular as it once was. With so much for options in terms of sports/entertainment and people stretching their dollars in this day and age, people aren't choosing skating stars. Attendance at big competitions is down across the board, the system is confusing to armchair fans who have given up (my mom being one of them). It's a sad fact of life these days, but it's also reality. I think they're being more choosy than they should and take what they can get. My mom has run into her on more than one occasion across the city and she hasn't seen David with her at all, so I'm guessing they aren't back together.
According to Jamie's twitter, David had their son in Quebec over Christmas. I'm not sure a reunited couple would spend it apart?
It's nice that their post-divorce relationship has been solid enough that a reunion is a rumour, though.
Disagree. It's true that COI used to market it as a "champions" tour and therefore needed actual champions, and SOI always put Olympic champions at the top of their marquee, but the fact is that many non-Americans have had long careers with SOI, and been very well received by fans who used to cheer them on year after year.
I'm thinking of Browning, Witt, Gordeeva (and G&G), Chouinard, Kulik, Cousins and so many others.
I don't think the shrinking of audiences has much to do with the medal count or the nationality of skaters. It's about the overall decline in interest in the sport (which is a whole other discussion), increased competition for audience's hard earned entertainment dollars, and marketing IMO.
I just don't think it's coming back in the US without an "American star" In the era above.. who headlined SOI? Scott Hamilton! (And if you really look at the history, it's been heading downhill in terms of attendance and draw since he left IMHO. Americans know and love Scott. (regardless of how folks feel on here if he didn't test well he wouldn't be doing those broadcasts..NBC is working the "love" ) Those others were icing on the cake... and they had "stories" Kurt was around a LONG time, developed a presence etc.. Katia had the "lost love" story which got a lot of press Casual fans probably couldn't tell you who Kulik was at this point )
The only Americans with some draw MIGHT be Evan and Davis/White. But Ice Dance is still a tough sell.
I think Jamie and Dave are being "realisitic" They said "it's not worth our time to do this for the price" Fans may not like it, but... if it costs them more to rent ice, coaching etc to get ready they they are going to make "taking something" is kind of "Take what you can get" is often not a sound business decision. If you can't get what it costs to cover your expenses time to move on. That's what it sounds like they are doing.
This article is totally misleading. It's been several years since S&P have been on the US tour- all that has changed is that they won't be doing the Canadian tour this year because they weren't able to come to an agreement on salary. That's a business decision that both sides have the right to make. Audiences for CSOI have been relatively stable, but they have more recent Olympic gold medalists Virtue & Moir in the cast now, and no doubt they'd like to get Patrick Chan as well.
It sounds like they are at peace with their decision and their lives and I wish them well.
It's more than obvious the sport is in a decline and I think the new judging system has taken some of the "magic" or "art" out of it .. but back then the tv market was saterated with these events and even myself as much as I love skating .. I just got sick of it. I actually left skating for several years and just recently became interested again. The judging scandals also hurt the sport.
I believe S&P skated last year's US SOI. Their MJ program was showcased on the NBC telecast.
Too bad they won't be back for CSOI. I thought that once Kurt left, S&P would be the natural new leaders of the tour.
You are right - I totally forgot they did the US tour last year I'll miss them on CSOI too.
It sounds like they have things they'd rather do long-term than skate for the amount offered to do tours, a standard cost-benefit analysis.
I have been a huge FS fan since I was a kid in the eighties and 90s. My whole family used to follow it closely and still tune in every now and then but I am the only one who has continued to watch religiously. The scandals were partially responsible for their loss of interest, but there were other factors. I didn't attend live shows until 2001, because I could never afford it. I would love to see CSOI each year, but again, I cannot afford to. I haven't been since 2008 (Jeff Buttle is one of favourite skaters of all time and I was thrilled to see him live and just off his WC victory!) I was hoping to attend this year, and am very sad that I won't get to see S&P. I just want them to be happy, though, and do what is best for their family.
They are also reaching a time when it will not be possible for Jesse to travel with them, as he will have school. Cutting back on the travel just makes sense.
I never saw SOI while Jamie and David were in it because of one (or two) major problems with SOI:
Over the years, the skating became crap and the tickets became too expensive, so I gave up on going to see it.
SOI used to be a fun tradition for me and my friends. We'd make a night of it with dinner out and then a walk downtown to the arena. I guess if the skating level had stayed "up there", then I wouldn't have a problem with paying lots of money to see it. However, I don't like paying to see so called "stars" skate worse than the kids at my rink. The tour stopped coming to my town, so I don't know if the quality has improved or not.
I wish Jamie and David luck. I just re-watched their 2002 Olympic performance and it still captivates me.
David P had a partner? Jamie who?
I know some FSUers here in Vancouver who go to the show every year, but I wouldn't enjoy that as the shows come to seem very much the same when you go year after year. Nothing new or novel. And the tickets aren't cheap.
I was thinking the same things. One of those costs could be time away from their child. I'm still sad that they won't be there but wish them all the best.
It would be cool to go as a group of FSUers, but yes, I have heard that it CSOI is growing stale. but I love show skating--I watch all the Disson skating specials--and would buy tickets if they were a little more affordable. Unfortunately, as you have noted, tickets aren't cheap. I would like to save up for Worlds in London if I am able to travel at that time, so I am not sure if I will attend CSOI this year.
I found it interesting that Jamie said she was weary of being in cold rinks all the time - first time I've heard someone say that, but I can sure understand it.
Does anyone know what became of her and her BOTB partner (Craig Simpson I think?) I thought they became an item.
And what of the (rumoured) romance between Pelletier and Tessa V?
Re: CSOI getting stale - they revamped the whole creative team this year, and it's led by Kurt Browning with help from Jeff Buttle, actor/dancer/director Geoffrey Tyler, and dancer Linda Garneau. I haven't seen the show yet (Seattle next week!) but from what I've heard, they've made a real effort to inject new choreography/concepts, and tie it together with a cohesive theme. Plus, I hear Kurt's demanding steps out of the skaters they wouldn't usually try to do. I wouldn't write it off just yet...
Re: not doing it because the offer wasn't high enough. I have to admit, I was rather disappointed to read this. I understand not wanting to tour because of your young child, or you're tired of travelling, or tired of being cold in rinks, but thinking the money was too low and undervaluing them on a tour that's clearly suffering financially (note no title sponsor) seems kind of short-sighted to me. I understand articles are edited and writers can play up angles but it seems like it wasn't a throwaway reason, it was their main reason for not doing SOI or CSOI this year.
CSOI has a title sponsor, Investors Group, announced at the end of January, but that might not have been in time for the contract negotiations. The masthead also says, "Presented by Lindt".
If CSOI doesn't make it worth their while to skate, it's not like they have any responsibility to skating or CSOI to keep skating, just like Kim, the Russian, and the Japanese skaters have no obligation to come to North America when they can make a boatload of money at home. S/P have been at this for a decade, and they have a young child.
I always love to get together with FSUers, and while I found Stars on Ice stale, regardless of the material, I don't find watching Jeffrey Buttle, Joannie Rochette, and Shawn Sawyer stale at all, and V/M are a pleasure to see. Last year, Ando and Kozuka joined the tour at the Victoria/Vancouver end.
On the US tour, not that many skaters in the last five-six years appeal to me, and I only went when I was in Seattle and there was nothing else to do, mainly when they kicked off the main tour there the first week or ten days of January. The current schedule is in the middle of things.
Tessa Virtue is dating a competitive skier. After watching Battle of the Blades, I was hoping Pelletier would end up with Tessa Bonhomme, because I suspect she'd be the alpha in that relationship.
In 2011, Sale & Pelletier were a great addition to the US tour of SOI. I went to 2010 SOI, and felt that the show was good, but not great. There was no pair team at the show I attended in 2010. However, the SOI 25th Anniversary Tour in 2011 was fantastic. I saw the show twice, and the skaters brought their A game to each show, especially Lysacek and Sale/Pelletier. With regard to ticket prices, the cheapest tickets were around $25, which is not very expensive.
Sorry, I was conflating CSOI and SOI (I'm pretty sure S&P were asked to do SOI as well as CSOI), but it is true they didn't announce the CSOI title sponsor until it's likely after the offer had been made to the skaters.
Of course not, as I said, I could understand if they didn't want to continue for any number of personal reasons. But there's a difference between "not worth their while" and saying that the offer was "lowball" and "undervaluing" them, which sounds more like they interpreted it as an insult and therefore didn't take the offer.

The Crazy Newshound has found a new Ravens article.
Monday night was the season debut for Monday Night Live on 1090 WBAL from Piv`s Pub in Cockeysville Maryland with your hosts Brett Hollander and Qadry Ismail.
Brett and "Q" were joined by future hall of fame offensive lineman Jonathan Ogden and current Ravens offensive lineman Marshall Yanda.
The group talked about Sunday nights game versus the New York Jets. Marshall talked about how the team decided that going to the running game in the 3rd quarter was the best idea for the Ravens. Marshall feels that the bye week is coming at the perfect time. He said he plans to go home to Iowa and harvest corn.

With BooBooFett on extended break and Taco retiring soon, I've been talking to a local Leather craftsman about making a Special Edition ammo belt and he's agreed to make one for me and then offer to the community. I will get him started on this site and take no % to keep costs down and give back some to the community. He seems to have the skills and will be using high quality thick leather, but I may lack the knowledge to make sure the finished product is up to our collective community standards so I'd love input from you all.
We have started by creating a prototype of the pouches as you can see below with a few scrap pieces stained and dyed different colors. We are using the Strumfett/RafalFett diagrams for measurements and other close up pictures. These pouches will be functional and incredibly strong/rigid and I plan to use the darkest color stain/dye right now (but again feel free to chime in). I am currently favoring the darkest color (saddle tan dye + stain) which is slightly less red in real life.
Here are the changes we need to make please let me know if you see anything else:
- Stitching needs to continue along the back, bottom and back up the front of the pouch.
- Stitching should be white.
- Front flap (and all leather attached to it) needs to be slightly wider to be the same width as the pouch.
- Front flap will be held down with magnetic clip, similar to one used on a purse.
- Leather spacers will be used to lift the back strap away from the pouch to allow the belt to feed between. This will allow the pouches to be taken on and off and therefore covering all permutations, but will it be too loose and will something else be required to hold the pouches in place so they dont slide around or to the back?


text: i didn't watch the game except for bits and pieces here and there. i called (and then witnessed) sheed hoist terrible threes toward the end of the game as usual, rip jumpshoot when he had an open lane to the basket, and us down by 3 with 40 seconds to go and not getting a shot off until there were 24 seconds left. just awful. sheed is doing whatever the hell he wants out there. AI is killing stuckey's aggressiveness and hogging the ball. stuckey is really struggling. curry is in full-fledged panic mode ... he's trying to flip-saunders the regular season team by starting dice and going to zone...might as well put rip back in the starting lineup too...i mean that team essentially won 59 games last year (if you can count chauncey and stuckey as equals which obviously they aren't).


text: Placeholder for discussing this new series, beginning on Sunday. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, I've been disappointed before with this type of show (*ahem* The Tudors) ... but given the material, it seems pretty hard to screw up. Plus there's Jeremy Irons, who at age 63 is still . In Canada it airs on Bravo!, 7:00 Pacific / 10:00 Eastern, with the 2nd episode immediatly following. Oddly enough, no repeats. Can someone give the US broadcast deets?

What is Kincare?
Kincare is a term used when a child is cared for by a non-parent family member such as a grandparent, great-grandparent, aunt, uncle, older sibling or other blood relative. Kincare includes situations where both parents live outside the home. However, kincare may also include situations where the parents live in the same home as the child, but do not have care or control over the child.
In Texas, there are an estimated 600,000 children each year who are cared for a non-parent relative for at least part of the year. This publication was written to help Kincare caregivers get the information they need to succesffuly support themselves and their families. This manual has information for both families who have been involved with CPS and those who have not.
Please note that this manual is different from the "Kinship Manual" produced by CPS. CPS's Kinship Manual is specifically for families who have a child that CPS has found to have been abused or neglected. For the CPS specific manual click here. Otherwise...

Measles Outbreak
With all of the news about the measles (rubeola) in California (51 cases) and New York (25 cases), (we) pediatricians are also on the alert for any measles cases in our areas. I have written many times about the importance of vaccines, but this latest outbreak of measles is just a reminder of the importance of vaccines and the concept of herd immunity.
By maintaining high vaccine rates for all children (adults too), even those who may not have been vaccinated are protected because the "herd", in otherwords the largest group of children, has received the vaccine. It typically takes a 90-95% vaccination rate to maintain this herd immunity. Once the vaccination rate drops below this there is more likelihood to see a re-occurrence of a disease. In some areas of the country, where parents may choose to "opt out" of vaccines, the vaccination rates are below 90%. This is a critical situation.
Although measles was pronounced eliminated in the United States in 2000, measles is still widespread worldwide. With international travel an everyday occurrence it only takes one person to "import" measles into the United States. Measles is a very contagious disease and is spread by respiratory droplets. The virus can remain in a room for up to 2 hours after an infected person has been there!!! Viruses are smart and hardy. You would never know if you walked into a room or airplane after someone had just left who had measles. Remember, an infected person is contagious even before the measles rash appears. Measles symptoms may occur up to 3 weeks after exposure. The illness begins like many others with fever, runny nose, cough and red eyes. It takes several days and then the measles rash develops. By this time many others have likely been exposed.
There are certain children who cannot receive vaccines due to medical reasons. Those children are protected by all of the others who are vaccinated. Making sure that your own children are vaccinated is paramount. Measles vaccine, given as the MMR is typically given at the 12-15 month old visit and again between the ages of 4-6 years.
There has also been a great deal of confusion on social media sites about measles (rubeola) and exanthem subitum (roseola). These are different illnesses and measles IS a vaccine preventable disease, while roseola is not. More to come on roseola....

Hey Guys,
Here are 2 photos of the new ESB's recently pulled from the molds and feature vacuum formed bottom sections. I'm no longer using fiberglass as a medium so everything will be made from a fast curing urethane resin (Alumilite) which has excellent surface detailing and very good overall strength. I've created a arched rib-like design shown in the 2nd photo for the upper portions of the gauntlets to help prevent them from being compressed and/or crushed. With the top portions measuring about 3/16" thick made from this hard resin as well as the new arch design I'm confident that this will make for a very good overall prop.
I've completely re-designed the flame unit detail and it's much larger than my previous versions. It's reinforced with 2 steel pins. I really like the overall look of it. Your all probably wondering why the 3 large holes in the flame units back section? Well, you'll have to wait for that one when I assemble and paint this set for photos sake. I've also removed the push button detail from the top of the right gauntlet and kept it smooth. I thought this would come in handy if any of you wanted to mount a functional push button or lever switch for an updated look. I'll provide the traditional movie accurate button as a separate detail, you can see it in the photo. I wont be including a rocket detail with this new set..There are too many beautiful metal versions around and most of you probably own one so I left that detail out. As for cost.....I'll have a better idea after assembly in a few days time. Keep you posted. Christian

Posted by James McQuivey on April 25, 2011
That's right, I said eReaders. True, it looks like a tablet, runs like a tablet, and delivers a lot of the value that tablets deliver, but the Nook Color's 1.2 upgrade (which is actually a step up to Android 2.2; don't let the numbers confuse you too much) is really a foreshadowing of the future of eReaders, not the future of tablets.
First, the facts. With the new upgrade that will be gradually pushed out to all existing Nook Color devices for free over the next few weeks (or you can download now at www.nookcolor.com/update), the folks at B&N have added some very useful features: an integrated email client, Flash 10.1 support, a curated Android app store (see sidebar), and an improved user experience through a myriad of tweaks. These upgrades make the Nook Color look more and more like a tablet, with a very attractive $249 price point to boot.
Must the iPad now cower in fear? No, not really. Because even at this price point, the Nook Color remains a smaller, less powerful tablet than the iPad. And as we've seen, the range of competitors coming in after the iPad's territory are coming in at higher prices with more powerful features (for example, last week I dropped $529 for an LG G-Slate from T-Mobile with 3D video camera and 4G data plan). The tablet market is gradually moving into higher-power features, not lower-power experiences.

Sykes has Rookie Season Among Program's Best
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Last March, GreenBayPhoenix.com highlighted the season of freshman Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) after the big man scored the most points by a Phoenix freshman in 10 years. Now just a year later, another freshman deserves his season touted as one of the best rookie campaigns in Green Bay history after scoring more points as a freshman since Tony Bennett in 1988-89.
Freshman Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) arrived in Green Bay in June 2011 at 17. At the time, he was the nation's youngest player fighting for minutes. By the team's opener on Nov. 11, he was the Phoenix starting point guard. On Dec. 30, he turned 18 and began a stretch of basketball that drew the attention of many around the Horizon League.
In the final 17 games, Sykes led the Phoenix in scoring at 14.7 points per game while dishing out 4.8 assists and shooting 49.7 percent from the floor. The Chicagoan scored in double figures 15 times, including a stretch of 10 games in a row, and scored 20 or more points three times.
In the regular season finale against UIC in his hometown, Sykes led a Phoenix win by scoring a career-high 27 points and adding six assists, a performance that earned him co-Horizon Player of the Week honors.
Sykes was the league's top freshman, leading the conference with averages of 11.2 points, 3.4 assists and an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.5-to-1. In league play, Sykes was eighth among all players in scoring (13.8), third in assists (4.5) and tied for first in assist-to-TO ratio (2.0). He was named to the Horizon League All-Newcomer Team and was the runner-up for Newcomer of the Year honors.
The season that the young point guard compiled was among the best by a freshman in Green Bay's Division I history. Sykes' 335 points were the third-most by a freshman in the Division I era and the most since Bennett scored 516. His 101 assists were the third-most in school history by a freshman, behind only Bennett's 138 and Gary Grzesk's 118 in 1992-93.
The top-5 Performances
from Sykes' freshman campaign:
5. Jan. 14 vs. Wright State: Sykes completed an improbable comeback from 17 points down by sinking two free throws with 3.0 seconds left to give Green Bay a 57-56 win at the Resch Center. He finished with 16 points.
4. Milwaukee (x2): Sykes showed he enjoyed playing against a rival, hitting 10 field goals and scoring 20 points at Milwaukee on Jan. 7 before going 10-of-14 from the field for 25 points against the Panthers at home on Feb. 4.
3. Feb. 14 vs. Youngstown State: The freshman was part of a historic double-double combination against Youngstown State, posting 17 points, 10 assists and zero turnovers in a win over YSU. Sykes' 10-assist game was the first by a Phoenix player since Rahmon Fletcher had 10 against Vermont on March 18, 2009 and the first 10-assist game in a Horizon League game by a Green Bay player since Feb. 3, 2007.
2. Jan. 28 vs. Butler: In leading Green Bay to a win over Butler on ESPNU, Sykes scored in three different jerseys during a game in which he left three times due to a collision. As he scored 16 points against Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year Ronald Nored, Sykes' "bloody good game" on a national stage brought a lot of attention. Watch highlights of the game. Watch Sykes score in all three jerseys.
1. Feb. 25 at UIC: Sykes saved his best game of the year for his homecoming, scoring 27 points against UIC in the Windy City as Green Bay swept a Chicago road weekend for the first time. He scored 14 points in the final eight minutes and also tallied six assists in the game. Watch highlights of the effort.

The Falcons' offense is already missing Julio Jones . Roddy White is still working his way back to full health after a season filled with injuries. And the hits just keep on coming in Atlanta. Tight end Tony Gonzalez and wide receiver Harry Douglas didn't practice Thursday.
Gonzalez suffered a toe injury that sidelined him briefly in Week 10 and left him limping after the game. He also didn't practice on Wednesday. Gonzalez hasn't missed a game since 2006.
Douglas was a late add to the injury report after he unexpectedly missed practice Thursday due to a knee injury. Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com guessed that Douglas must have tweaked his knee during Wednesday's session. Douglas had not been on the injury report this season prior to Thursday.
Fantasy Analysis:
The Falcons are hoping that one or both players can return to practice Friday, but that's tough to tell, since the information on the respective injuries is meager. If it comes to the worst-case scenario where both are unable to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, it would mean bad things for Matt Ryan , even in a good matchup. Don't forget that Roddy White is already ticketed to spend the day on Revis Island. Of course, if Douglas and Gonzalez are out, White could be a target monster as the Falcons will have just about run dry of NFL-quality receivers.

If you go the shotgun route, I can highly recommend the Remington Managed Recoil 00 Buckshot. It is easy to shoot and groups very well out of my Remington 870.
A bit off topic for a handgun forum I realize.
If a handgun is an option I feel that it is a better choice than the shotgun. It is much simpler to move around with, and as Mike mentioned, a bit less obvious if you answer the door armed.

Ford Announces Fix for Fire Risk in 2013 Ford Escape, Fusion
Ford said it has developed a solution to the problem of engine overheating in the 2013 Ford Escape and 2013 Ford Fusion that could lead to a fire. The affected vehicles are equipped with 1.6-liter engines.
Ford dealers will make updates to the cooling system software to better manage engine temperatures during what the automaker calls "a unique overheating condition."
"The new software will resolve this issue," said Ford in a statement.
The repair can be made as early as next week, according to the automaker.
"Until the cooling software is updated, customers driving 2013 Escape vehicles equipped with the 1.6-liter engine and 2013 Fusion models equipped with the 1.6-liter engine have been advised to contact their dealer to arrange for alternative transportation at no charge," said Ford.
Ford said it will start notifying customers now so they can schedule appointments with dealers. The repair is supposed to take less than half a day, but Ford said due to service scheduling requirements, a dealer may need the vehicle for a longer period of time.
Ford recalled 65,074 2013 Escapes and 14,983 2013 Fusions with 1.6-liter engines on November 30, but said that a remedy was still under development at the time.
"The engines may overheat, leading to fluid leaks that may come in contact with the hot exhaust system," said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in its summary of the problem. "Fluid leaks in the presence of an ignition source such as a hot exhaust system may result in a fire."
In documentation filed with federal safety regulators, Ford said it is aware of "nine field reports of fires in the United States on vehicles in customer service. Further, Ford is aware of one field report of a pre-delivery vehicle fire in Tennessee, one field report of a vehicle fire in Canada and two fires at the Louisville Assembly Plant."
Ford is still warning drivers to pull off the road, turn off the engine and exit the vehicle if they see certain warning messages while driving. The messages include: "Engine Power Reduce to Lower Temps" or "Engine Over Temp, Stop Safely." In some cases, a chime sounds and a red light illuminates.
The affected Ford Escapes were built from October 5, 2011 through November 26, 2012. The affected Fusions were built from February 3, 2012 through November 29, 2012. Ford notes that Escapes equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines are unaffected, as are Fusions equipped with 2.5-liter and hybrid engines.
Owners can contact Ford at (866) 436-7332.

The "near blizzard" we've had this week has reminded me of one of my all time favorite movies -- Groundhog Day. And one of my favorite scenes in this movie (without giving the plot away to the 2 people who haven't seen it yet) is when Bill Murray is able to smugly answer all of the Jeopardy! questions. Wouldn't it be great to be able to do that?
IBM just announced this morning that the Jeopardy! games between IBM's Watson computer and human contestants will be held in mid-February. The Jeopardy! format provides the ultimate challenge because the game's clues involve analyzing subtle meaning, irony, riddles, and other complexities in which humans excel and computers traditionally do not. The executive producer of the show deemed the game "a benchmark of ultimate knowledge."
So just what is behind Watson? No fancy supercomputer. Just your regular old IBM Power 750 cluster (POWER7) with about 3000 cores. IBM workload-optimized systems provide unmatched capabilities for processing thousands of simultaneous tasks at rapid speeds. IBM systems can handle the massive analytics incredibly fast -- and that's what's needed to analyze complex language and deliver correct responses to natural language clues. Watson sifts through vast amounts of data and returns precise answers, ranking its confidence in its answers. This technology can be applied to many areas, everything from healthcare to help desks.
Watch the Jeopardy! game trailer. Who knows, maybe Watson could even beat Phil (Bill).

By Joe Brewin
Kieran Gibbs dedicated his first Premier League goal to his late grandfather after Arsenal's 3-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday.
Gibbs' first-half strike sent Arsène Wenger's side on their way to a seventh straight victory, extending their lead over Tottenham to three points in the process.
The left back scored his first career goal in the Carling Cup win over Shrewsbury earlier in the campaign and devoted this strike to his watching family.
"I just said hello to my Grandad [Jim]," said the England international. "He passed away when I was nine, about 11 years ago now. He was a scout for Arsenal and a big fan, like the rest of my family. I hope it was a proud moment for them.
"It was strange to score, but it was about time. I'm not sure how many games I have played now, but it's always nice to help out the team. I'm just happy to be back playing, we have turned things around dramatically and I'm happy to be part of it.
"I scored goals for the reserves but hadn't done much since becoming a left back and getting into the first team. I'm just happy to help the team and it was another good win for us."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Four Canisius players posted double figures in the scoring column, led by senior guard Billy Baron and his game-high 21 points, as the host Golden Griffins defeated Siena 93-78 Sunday afternoon in the Koessler Athletic Center. The win, Canisius' second straight, moves the team to 5-3 overall and 2-0 in MAAC action, while Siena slipped to 3-8 overall and 1-1 in conference action with the loss.
Baron recorded his fourth career double-double in the win, as he added a career-high 13 assists to his game-high 21 points. Baron was also credited with five rebounds and two steals in the win for the Blue and Gold, the program's second-straight win over Siena dating back to last season. Redshirt sophomore Dominique Raney scored a career-high 19 points in the win for the Griffs while freshman Zach Lewis chipped in 18 points, three rebounds, an assist and a steal in 16 minutes of action. Senior Jordan Heath scored 15 points, blocked four shots and dished out three assists for Canisius, which ended the day with a season-high 24 assists against nine turnovers.
"We knew coming in this was going to be a hard-fought game, and I think that this was a solid team win over a team [Siena] that's going to win some games in this league this season," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "I thought we did another great job of sharing the basketball. We got on a roll with all those baskets we made early and we kept rolling there for a bit. Siena worked hard and got back in the game in the second half, so I give them credit. We have to do a better job of rebounding the basketball, but I hope we can build on this effort and get ready for our game against Buffalo on Wednesday."
In all, eight of the nine Griffs that played on Sunday scored at least two points, as the Blue and Gold shot 49.2 percent from the field, 57.7 percent from 3-point land and 66.7 percent from the free-throw line. Senior Chris Manhertz had nine points, six rebounds and two blocks while fellow senior Chris Perez was good for seven points and a season-high four assists while holding Siena's top scoring option, guard Rob Poole, to just nine points.
Siena took a 7-6 lead 2:25 into the game after Poole hit a 3-pointer from the right corner, but the Griffs took over from there, using an 18-4 run over the span of 3:39 to take control of the game for good. That run started with a 3-pointer by Raney, one of his four makes from behind the arc on the day, and was capped by five-straight points by Lewis, who finished the day by going 6-for-13 from the field, 4-for-8 from 3-point land and 2-for-3 from the charity stripe in the win. Canisius led 57-36 at the intermission, and stretched its lead to as many as 28 points in the first 2:47 of the second stanza at 66-38 after Raney scored eight of the Griffs' first nine points out of the halftime break. Siena got the Canisius cushion under 20 points midway through the second half and trailed by 10 at 81-71 with 4:51 left in the game before Raney, redshirt freshman Phil Valenti and Baron combined to score six of the game's next eight points to seal the victory.
Siena had three players score in double figures, led by Brett Bisping's team-high 17 points. He also had nine rebounds as Siena out rebounded the Canisius 35-30 for the game. Michael Wolfe had 14 points off the bench and Maurice White was good for 10 points and six boards for the Saints, which shot 56.1 percent from the field, but went just 1-for-9 from 3-point land while turning the ball over 17 times.
Canisius will return to action Wednesday, Dec. 11, when the Griffs play cross-town rival Buffalo in First Niagara Center. Game time between the Griffs and the Bulls is set for 8 p.m., and the game will be broadcast live on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel.Game Notes: This was the 90th all-time meeting between Canisius and Siena, with the Saints holding a 51-39 lead in the series… Canisius has now won back-to-back games over Siena for the first time since 2005… The Griffs are 2-0 in MAAC play for the second-straight season and for the fifth time since the school joined the conference prior to the start of the 1989-90 academic year… Canisius scored a season-high 20 points on the fast break on Sunday… All four of Baron's career double-doubles have come with points and assists… Canisius' 15 makes from 3-point land on Sunday ranks third on the school's single-game 3-point field goals made list… The Griff set a school record with 17 makes from long range at Marist Dec. 9, 2012… Manhertz's six rebounds gives him 615 in his career, which ties him for 13th in school history with former Griff Ray Hall… Jordan Heath's four blocks are the most for him since he had five swats against Elon March 20, 2013 in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament… Lewis' 18 points are the most for a Canisius freshman since Kevin Bleeker had 18 points in an overtime win at South Dakota Dec. 18, 2011.

Anyways, how active / good is lunia now that it's hosted by 12foottall.
Lunia is as fun as ever. New classes make it fun, The community is quite good, lower levels are more scarce though. There whole cash shop doesnt mess with the game at all. Problem with me was that channels seem to become laggy from time to time. Goes away when you head out into the map.
Actually cash shop does mess it up, as in you cant make a Lime char unless you buy it from cash shop, I find it stupid how in global version u need to use cash shop to get it, but on all other version the lime character is unlocked on stg 4-8....
Oh and that's unfair in a way since Lime ends up being one of the strongest characters, both in pvp and out (a high lime in pvp in its giant form can mass kill so many)....

Tcrew FTW, its a online action paced game with pets being a big part of it, try it out
Well of how active it is,it laggs like a motha sucka and the game is acttaully a very fun game to play. I would say maybe if you want you could wait be cause the new characters are coming later this year like kreig and others(i want to play as kreig).The game is 3d with a array of muves that you can air cobo with. If you like to air combo,i recomemd Seig(you would like air combos also in pvp because it bothers the hecks out of people). Once you get to about 10 and above you start getting the good moves. It is annoying that Lime character is free in other countries but not ours .It is good if you know how to play good with a lime,trust me if you dont you will get ownded in a split sec in the pvps. I do think this is the Best game to come out of Beta this year.
Remember,when Life's Down on you,It always helps to PK Newbs in Cabal xD.
Currently playing-Lunia,Sword of Mana,Soul Calibur 3, Syphon Filter:Logan's Shadow.

Israel is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its establishment as an independent nation. There are parades, speeches and parties as Israeli citizens continue marvel the nation has remained intact despite wars and conflicts. On the same day an alternative "celebration" was being held by Palestinians who regard the birth of Israel as a sad event in their lives. One Palestinian march began just outside Nazareth, cose to the Israeli town of Tziponi, and a short walk from the site where the village of Safuriyya once lay. The annual march was organized by the Associaiton for the Defense of the Rights of Internally Displaced Persons in Israel(ADRID).
An article in the New Statesman describes events in 1948 when Arab villagers were "hit by aerial bombardment and artillery fire," many fled and eventually returned only to be forced out by Israeli authorities who were concerned about their loyalty. There is no question many Arab villagers were displaced and their land used to build settlements for Jewish refugees. Unfortunately, in the New Statesman story, there is not a single word about the fact Israel was attacked by several Arab nations who had more troops, more tanks, more planes, and certainly more artillery. Does that massive attack excuse mistreatment of Arab citizens? No, but it helps explain behavior. The world of 2008 sees a powerful, well trained Israeli army, but forgets, in 1948, few believed Jews could survive Arab nations which attacked their land.
War produces inequity, it leads to horrible crimes committed against the innocent. It is rare for newspapers like the New Statesman to ever report about Arab horrors committed against Jews during the difficult days of 1948 when survival was paramount. Does one horror sanction a responsive horror? Of course not. There is no way to identify which side began to resort to brutal tactics. The New Statesman article presented one side in the conflict. Its story would have been more powerful and meaningful had it also examined the complexity of the time when refugees fled.
Isn't an issue of 2008 the process by which rights of Palestinians can be recognized today? It might begin by having the West Bank evacuated and its housing offered to Palestinian refugees. It might also begin by Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, and Iraq offering compensation to Jews forced to flee from those nations. The refugee issue is a bit more complex than how the New Statesman presents it in 2008.

Hello all
My name is Chris and I've been teaching in Budapest since January. I obtained my CELTA there in July last year and this is my first job teaching English.
I'm looking to move on from Budapest at the end of summer and have been considering doing some further study/development in order to improve myself as a teacher. Prior to the CELTA I had had no English language or teaching experience whatsoever. I spent some time between my CELTA finishing and January brushing up as best I could and I have taken on board a lot whilst I've been teaching. However, I still feel like I would benefit from some additional training/education to improve myself as a teacher and also would like to understand my profession better as a matter of personal interest.
Can anyone recommend anything I could look towards? I've looked at various distance Masters programmes (which are out of my price range) and obviously there is the DELTA (I think it's too early in my career for that).
Any help would be very much appreciated

cyclic graphs
i want mathematica to draw graphs from the following input: for every
vertex i give a list of edges representing the cyclic order of adjacent
edges around that vertex. For example if i give the list abc for the
vertex v, when you walk clockwise around the vertex you should see first
the edge a, then b, then c.
Does anyone know whether this can be done with Combinatorica package or
GraphPlot? Or can you give me an idea how to start from scratch?

The Empire Axe is one of the best shooting markers at that price range or anything even close.
Posted 28 December 2012 - 05:38 AM
axe shoots great, but HOLD ONE BEFORE YOU BUY IT, i personally had the way it feels. Eteks are bulletproof cannons. I have a good friend with a g4, and that thing is the biggest POS I've ever messed with. Constantly goes down. His brother also owned a g4, and had little to zero issues with it. But if you do some reading, you will find more horror stories about dangerous power guns than fairy tails. If i were you, i would be shopping for axes (both used and new) and eteks. Shoot both at Jaegers / 280, and make your decision based off that. You will be pleased with both, if you can tolerate the way the axe feels.
Get dunked, nooblord.
