Steelers 27, Redskins 12: Ben Roethlisberger threw three short touchdown passes and Pittsburgh hassled Robert Griffin III to his worst day as a pro in a decisive win over visiting Washington.
Third-string running back Jonathan Dwyer posted a second-straight 100-yard game (107 yards on 16 carries) for Pittsburgh (4-3), which has won consecutive games for the first time this season. The Steelers earned its ninth straight win over an interconference opponent and Roethlisberger improved to 15-1 at home against the NFC.
Santana Moss had a touchdown catch and Kai Forbath kicked two field goals for Washington (3-5), which has lost two straight.
The Steelers' defense, which was without All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu (calf) for the fifth time in the last six games, held Griffin to just 16-of-34 for 177 yards and a touchdown. Griffin entered as the league's most accurate passer but was let down by his receivers, who had 10 drops - the most by any team this season.
While Griffin was held in check, the Steelers scored on four of their five first-half possessions and led 20-6 at the break. After Forbath kicked a 48-yard field goal early in the third quarter, Roethlisberger capped an 11-play, 80-yard drive with a 1-yard pass to little-used fullback Will Johnson that made it 27-9.
Roethlisberger finished 24-of-33 for 222 yards.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Griffin was called for offensive pass interference on a failed trick play that saw wide receiver Josh Morgan throw a deep pass down the left sideline. Griffin took a big hit from safety Ryan Clark on the play. ... To celebrate their 80th anniversary, the Steelers wore throwback uniforms from 1934, which featured black and yellow horizontal stripes and tan pants. ... Already missing Polamalu, Pittsburgh's secondary took another hit when Clark left with a head injury early in the third quarter. ... Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall was ejected late in the fourth for arguing with an official.

Good facilities and attentive to cleanliness. Food has much improved since the year before. If going benicasim music festival then this is a good choice
Unfortunately I did not like anything about this hotel. Large hotel, no character, desk staff gave impression that they had no time to serve clients and got rid of client as quickly as possible. Dining room staff very pleasant. Bathroom shower stall had mold in base. Hotel and breakfast poor quality for price paid.
very poor customer service and staff did not speak good English.
The one redeeming factor was the only friendly barman, other than that it was a pretty disappointing stay. The staff were pretty unhelpful, the rules changed daily especially if you were British, there were some unruly people around the pool, but felt we were penalised for others bad behaviour! beds were really uncomfortable & unless you got a bed by the pool at 10am there wasn't enough to go round.
the rooms were very contemporary and luxurious and generally superior to what I had expected though efficient, the staff were not always entirely polite
the housekeepers were fantastic, the room was immaculate and cleaned everyday and fresh towels and bedding everyday also. The receptionists were helpful too and the location is great. I think the pool area was too small for the size of the hotel, we only found a space by the pool once, late afternoon. As the beach is so beautiful and close this is not a huge problem but could affect families.
the room was good no room service...no bar...no coffee and tea facilities in bedroom...no mini bar ..
the rooms were a decent size and the bathrooms recently refurbished with excellent facilities the, food was poor - it was very mass-produced - even the orange juice was squash; it is next to the Marina D'or complex which has 3/4 and 5 star accommodation and the local restaurants seem to mirror this though the 3 star was again very poor for food.
Spacious rooms 1. Heating not working. 2. No wireless internet in rooms, wall plug diffucult to find to connect cable. 3. Lots of facilities closed. 4. Parking not included in arragement. 5. Bathroom - shower/bath dangerous to get in and out.
Most of the staff were knowledgeable and helpful, some were really excellent and went out of their way to help. The hotel does not live up to its 5 star billing and the price of the rooms. The decor throughout the hotel is dated and needs modernising, and the rooms are not even close to what I would consider 5 star - the beds in particular are sub-standard. After 4 nights I had a sore back and I never have back problems. Also the shower was worse than my shower at home. Sure, the bath and pool complex is elaborate and obviously takes a lot of money to build and maintain, but this should be an added bonus at a hotel, not the main event - take the fact that the pools were largely deserted as evidence that most of the guests were off doing other things.
it was acceptable, not up to a 5* in my opinion more 3.5 -4*. ask for a sea veiw as the back overlooks a theme park and i could hear the chilldren screaming till about 11pm at night. i had my room changed and it was much better.
Spacious layout of the accomodation, especially the separate door to the bedroom. Balcony and air conditioning very welcome. Streets were noisey outside (central location) and woodden floors inside with noisey footsteps. I slept with earplugs which is difficult for wake-up alarm.
The hotel was reasonable, however there was a champions league football match taking place locally at Villareal and so the room rates were hiked up. The previous evening we stayed at a much better hotel in Barcelona (Apolo Tryp) for 75% of the cost!!
The staff were very helpful, excellent food, rooms spotless, great facilities Very hard to find the hotel, spent 1 1/2 hrs driving around
Excellent value for money in a great location in the City Centre.Staff could not be faulted, the city itself is charming and people v. friendly with some good shops and a fairly new El Corte Ingles. The hotel is a couple of minutes walk to the bus stops for the Grau area with some good bar/restaurants and to Benicassim, well worth a visit.
Rooms were comfortable, location was great, breakfast was very good, staff were helpfull the rooms and facilities were good, but not 4-star worthy (a little small, and old). didn´t try the gym/sauna facilities though.
The staff were really friendly and the room was very clean. I had a very comfortable stay at the hotel and would stay there again. Most of the rooms had a balcony and, having requested one, I was a bit disappointed to be in one of the few rooms without.
Very good hotel and the city itself. The personal in the hotel was very helpful. They helped to order a taxi remotely from the train station very late night
Modern, comfortable, clean, helpful staff and generall a very nice place to stay!
Location, services Excepting the person from the reception...the stuff dose not speak English
Opposite to the railway station, and a ten minute walk to the city centre Airconditioning was hardly working
Very close to the rail station
Friendly staff and cleanliness of all areas. Excellent choice of items for breakfast. Having to pay for overnight car parking. Hot items at breakfast were mainly cold.
Everything...great hotel
Rooms & bathrooms were very modern, clean & had good facilities. complimentary bath items always useful. plenty of space for storage etc.
Very cheap, considering the facilities. Right next to the main train station, nice staff, very modern room. Wireless internet was 6 Euro per hour.
The cleanlines and comfort the noise fromthe cleaners early in the morning
Excellent job handling bencassim festival. beds are not super comfortable.
reception staff is perfect, kind and also helpfull it's more a business hotel than a vacation one. Far from the sea but it was just for a short trip. so our lease car, all was parfect. Just one thing, parking should be free and take care about the breakfast charge. Adult or children, it's the same price :-(
The air-conditioning actually worked well, without being noisy.
Room was comfortable which had a balcony with a nice view of the port. Parking was not a problem. Friendly staff.
We had a great room facing the port nice view. Staff friendly, helpful. Spoke English and French. Rooms very nice, modern, clean. Main entrance and breakfast room missing ambiance, would take little to put this downstairs area more attractive with a little color coordinated deco and attention. Miscellaneous pieces of furniture are distributed (dirty blue chair in front of beautiful tile mural. Overgrown plants in pots on stairs. Curtains do not hang straight in dining room, rather cold atmosphere, breakfast bar looks like an after thought, baby chair pushed up against the window. Vending machine pushed into a corner on upper level (not sure why this is needed, there are mini bars in rooms and and a supermarket+cafeteria around the corner). This place has a great view on the new port, and is in a very attractive older building. Lots of opportunity here!!!!
Well located opposite marina with its bars and restaurants. Ambiance- quiet, businesslike. Well maintained rooms and facilities. No private parking, but plenty of public and on-street parking very close. Drop-off point on street in front of reception.
Having used the hotel around the same time each year for the last ten years we obviously are satisfied
Clen hotel, perfect location for my purposes Overpriced Internet and breakfast, no carage
We found the hotel to be comfortable and enjoyed our stay. thank you
The hotel lobby is nice and the room was pleasant. No service in the lobby with the luggage, little smile, the restaurant food was not very good.
Superb Staff and excellent facilities
Very good located hotel in the center of beautiful town. Clean rooms with plenty of space. Very narrow parking difficult to get in and out.
Staff helpfulness, cleanliness of room, air conditioning, bathroom facilities, quietness of rooms.
privacy and silent
noise between rooms was too much
I only stayed one night but the bed and pillows were very comfortable and it had a nice breakfast buffet.
directions from your website to Hotel were not very good - very difficult to read street signs (some non existent) - took me 1 hour to get to Hotel due to 1 way street system from outskirts of Castellon
Very friendly and helpfull hotelstaff.
Friendly, clean. Breakfast service cleanliness and choice excellent. loactaion excellent. Bit pricy. Fridge provided in rooms. Some eqipment not working properly, air conditioning - but was fixed. Access to pool was extra cost and not made clear.Parking is difficult.
The pool was nice, was convenient for the benicassim festival, Any documentation we were given about activities and the spa etc were all in Spanish would of been nice to have them in a few languages that other people would understand. The food in the hotel and the whole resort was absolutely horrible the worst I have ever had on a holiday I cannot emphasise enough how bad it was !!
Its a decent hotel with excellent location just opposite castellon railway station. The restaurant menu needs to be improved in terms of variety. The price i paid during 5th Sept to 9th Sept is very high considering i booked at similar rate (Euro 100 per night double occupancy) in a 4 star property in big city like Barcelona.
A gorgeous hotel, very contemporary with high quality furnishings. Right next to the train station.
El cuarto era excelente, y la atención también
Well placed for the railway station,first class room Some distance from town centre,noisy street outside
new hotel distance from room to hotel entrance
The convenience to rail and bus and supermarket and walking distance to the old town area. Unable to work out TV . No instructions on how to use and how to get english subtitles
golf tournament the beds are too hard
fast check-in, friendly room service, excellent breakfast the view
The staff were all very helpful. The hotel itself is very clean and contemporary. Our room was spacious. Secure underground parking was free. The breakfast buffet was better than average and well worth the 10 euros per person. The room rate of 50 euros for the night was terrific. We were just looking for a place to pull off the road on our trip to Southern Spain, and this was a perfect place to overnight.
it was clean and airconditioned and that was its only good point the decor was very cold, the only restaurant menu was very poor and there was no other restaurants nearby.
Newly refurbished hotel rooms with very nice large bathrooms. Very comfortable in all aspects and would use again. Breakfast should be included as standard.
A very modern hotel in the centre of town. Very clean and free mini bar!
personnel,location breakfast too expensive
The location was perfect, at least for my needs, and that was the main reason for choosing this hotel, all of the other things were mostly good. the bed was a bit "overused", making sounds on almost every movement, but it wasn't the problem last time i was in the hotel
Hotel next to the beach. The room was nice and clean. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.
I loved the location and the friendly staff at the reception. Also the breakfast was good and bar staff was nice. The views from the room were nice and it was a good atmosphere The hotel rooms were not cleaned properly, the floor was really dirty in the room and on th balcony. We had our 1 year old son with us and we couldnt allow him to go on the floor after he shower becasue it was so dusty. Hair from the previous visitors or the cleaner was left on the floor and in the bath, also on the toilet
24 hrs open receptiondesk
Wonderful location - next to the beach with a pool and poolside bar. Every comfort.
The view, the staff was nice, the breakfast great
most pleasant no in room tea/coffee making facilities
I liked the fact the hotel was located very near to the beach front. 1.Before arriving I emailed the hotel with several questions regarding my stay. Even though me email was written in Spanish I did not receive a reply from the hotel. 2.On checking-in and entering my hotel room I found the floor to be very dirty! 3.My room was on the 5th floor and the balcony railings were frighteningly low. I would not recommend families with children to stay on this floor. 4.The day staff at the hotel were not very friendly. We were not greeted warmly on arrival and even when checking-out they did not thank us for staying, nor asked us for our experience of staying with them. And they all spoke English very well. However, the night staff on duty was more accommodating and he took time to talk to us and made us feel more we
24 hrs reception,central position
Fully met our expectations
Excellent location; very helful staff, good room.
breakfast buffet rooms are old
overall easy access to swimming pools and beaches. The hotel could possibly do with more elevators, as you can wait a considerate amount of time when it gets busy.
Excellent location for Benicassim music festival. 15 min walk from festival and 15 min walk from beach. Swimming pool and bar excellent. Wifi was terrible and AC in room was good but broke one night which meant sleeping was impossible. Tried breakfast a couple of times and it was poor. Hot food was cold and bread stale.
Only the location Thae pool coses at 8:00 pm, Hello!! It's summer!!. The family room is a regular room with 4 beds together (barracs), the ac needs an up-grade, to small for the rooms. The room decoration and furniture nedds to be changed. Breakfast buffe, you better go out to town. not a four star hotel, maybe two.
the location, closness of tennis courts and the beach, nice swimming pool area the beds not comfortable, the floor was not cleaned under the beds for 3 nights, the cocoroach in the lobby at night
the pool, room, location (near beach and waterpark). Buffet breakfast, close to restaurants.Staff were friendly and put on various activities during the day & night. No english speaking channels on tv.
Buffet meals, near to beach, pool and patio Separation of 'regular' guests and the bus tour groups for meals - don't know why they did this on the second day
When the children left on Sunday The noise was terrible
I like everything
Location Value for money. Breakfast was poor
nice hotel, big rooms. they changed our room immediately after we complained about broken bed, so no problem at all. the city Castellon is totaly dead in august. go and try to find a hotel at the port of Castellon, where is at least some night life, restaurants and. The hotel itself was OK, besides the small capacity of restaurant/breakfast area.
incredible value, nice room and bathroom, lovely breakfast
The receptionist was very helpful. In our hotel search, we had requested a room for 2 adults, 3 children, and understood that an extra cot could be rolled in for free. However, that was not the case. The room could only accommodate 4. The receptionist allowed the third child, and provided the necessary blankets and pillows. He also recommended a couple of restaurants to us, as well as a plaza the children might find entertaininig.
A true four star hotel......very clean and good......staff very helpful.....price range affordable. Ideally located for shopping and restaurants.
Good locatioin and worth its 4 stars No
This hotel is in the center of the city.
The ability of the staff to look after non spanish speaking visitors. The size of the room and tidiness of the hotel all over. The basement parking, essential in city centre.
Helpfulness of the staff Directions to the hotel could have been better.
Exeptionally nice, clean hotel with friendly staff
Close to the centre The underground car park was pretty hairy to get into.
The lovely room and the air conditioning. It was nice to return to the hotel during the hottest part of the day for a siesta.The Catering staff were excellent especially on the night of the World Cup. they kept on serving and looking after the guest even though it was late at night. A bit noisy during the renovations on the second floor but it was not a huge problem.
The hotel is located in the central of Castellon, Our room (224) was I think one of the biggest with 2 TV's and with a huge bathroom. The parking underneath the Hotel is a little tricky since it is very small. The (optional) breakfast is also quite good. We wanted to use the safe box, but the receptionist could not find the key. She asked to come down the next day. Next day there was still no key but then she offered us to change room, which we did not do we could live without it. The other thing is when we arrived the elevator did not work, but was fixed not much after I brought up all the luggages :) from -1 to +2.
Stopped off here on a road trip to Barcelona, Georgeous stylish hotel with an Itallian restaurant with brilliant service. Very modern, clean, spacious rooms. Only stayed one night as a stop off during a road trip, not sure if the location of the hotel would be suitable for a vacation
Good - Clean - Quiet hotel. Reasonbly easy to find but could be better signposted. Restuarant not open until 21.00 hrs. Many bars in city centre but few Restuarants
nice room, big! verry good price. Well lokated in the center! Near busstop. Telefon in room was not working. Small TV, but who looks at it anyway...
Satisfied customer
about the hotel itself, not much, it was an adequate place to spend the night, with a very cheap and nice restaurant downstairs the staff were at first a little pushy to clean the rooms, one morning they knocked and woke us up, despite the fact that the do not disturd sign was up. the rooms were a little bit small, but we never intended to spend the whole day in them, so it didn't really matter, oh and our air con was noisy (room 205), so at night we could either be kept up by the noise or the heat. it was very ovrepriced, during the week of the FIB festival, but all other hotels had also increased their rates, so i shall not hold this against them
Convenient private parking. Only slow WiFi internet on the ground floor.
very bad internet connection in foyer none in rooms very bad internet connection in foyer none in rooms
nice tidy clean rooms, friendly staff and pleasant setting. very central but away from the drinking zone!!!
Excellent Hotel Facility, looks like villa, very good restaurant, friendly stuff, good small park and swimming pool, located very calmly and in the same time close to the beach, very nice reception hall Room furniture rather old, not so classy in the bathroom, you notice that the hotel is renovated but not everywhere, my washbowl was almost stopped
Great position and the gardens.
Nice room, excellent buffet breakfast, lovely gardens, easy to reach from highway ... even our dogs liked this hotel and our dogs are very fussy! No negatives.
The pool ambience once all the British campers (from FIB) were kicked out. On occasion the staff was straight out rude. Would expect more from a **** hotel. Would also expect the "extra mile" during the festival time, with offering a shuttle service to/from the train station. Especially considering Intur has several hotels in the area. Also, a somewhat foul smell of toilet in the room even with the bathroom door closed. Check the cooling circuits?
Was very close to the beach and had good restaurants in the neighbourhood The food was terrible even at Mac Donalds you get better service and better quality
1) Surrounding conditions E.G. green field and trees; 2) nice room; 3) dilicious breakfast and coffee. Internet was not available at the first day I stayed. Note that the map shown in the internet is not the same as real location.
It was simply an overnight stop en rouye for Andalucia No
Great value, quiet room, good location Parking sometimes difficult find a space, no laundry facilities
Good comfortable hotel with very helpful staff. Close to the sea and restaurants
The Broadband facilities were only limited to the ground floor, I was on the first floor but unable to pick up a connection. I spent much time in the lobby area to enable me work.

Tornados host annual Pigskin Pig-out PartyAugust 15, 2009
Brevard, N.C. - With less than two weeks remaining before the Brevard College Athletic Department opens the 2009-2010 season, the Tornados hosted their annual fall sports kickoff, the Pigskin Pig-out.
Festivities at the Pig-out this year included live music by local band, He Said, She Said, and the food received great reviews as Aramark catered the event, providing barbeque, black bean burgers, baked beans, coleslaw and a number of assorted desserts.
Four of the Tornados fall sports coaches were special guest speakers at the event as they spoke about their teams and their upcoming seasons.
Coach Brenda Skeffington, head coach of the Tornados volleyball team, mentioned the theme for her team this season, ICE, which stands for Intensity, Concentration and Enthusiasm. She also spoke about the desire of the team to out-hustle their opponents' everyday as the Tornados look to return to the 2009 Food Lion SAC Volleyball tournament, having made it in 2008 in their first season as full members of the South Atlantic Conference.
Following Coach Skeffington to the microphone was Coach Juan Mascaro, head coach of the Tornados men's soccer team. Coach Mascaro opened by thanking the entire athletic department staff for their work, praising them and saying, "College athletics are important, but so are the people behind them."
He also went on to thank Dr. Drew Van Horn, President of Brevard College, Athletic Director Kim Pate and Assistant Athletic Director Ginny Alexander for their hard work in helping to develop the BC Athletic program into what it is today. Before finishing, Coach Mascaro finished by commenting on his team, saying the team this season is one of the best he has had since becoming head coach at Brevard.
Coach Shigeyoshi Shinohara, head coach of the women's soccer team stepped up to the podium next, complimenting the South Atlantic Conference as a whole, saying it is one of the top conference's in the nation and week in and week out, the teams play against tough opponents.
He also expressed excitement in this upcoming season with the group of returners and incoming freshman, stating, "I am fully confident in our team to have a great season."
Lastly to the stage, Coach Paul Hamilton, fresh from Saturday afternoon's scrimmage at Rosman High School, opened up with nothing but praise for the other fall sports programs.
"We are pulling for our other teams. We are proud of them and are working hard to keep up and wishing them nothing but the best," Hamilton had to say about the other athletic programs at BC.
Coach Hamilton also had the following to say to all of the parents who were in attendance at the Pigskin Pig-out, "We (the coaching staff) are the ones who are blessed to coach these athletes. You should be proud of these athletes and what they are doing in coming to college to play at Brevard."
In regards to the upcoming season, Coach Hamilton unveiled the 2009 BC football team's theme, WIN, which stands for What's Important Now, and he spoke on how the team is not here looking for only moral victories now, but to truly make an adjustment in working hard to get better, and in so doing, they will become victorious.
The Brevard College Fall Sports begin with the women's soccer home opener on Thursday, August 27, against Montreat at 6 p.m. The men's soccer team also opens their season the same night on the road against Southern Wesleyan at 7 p.m. Volleyball opens their season on Saturday, August 29, on the road at Montreat with games against Montreat and Mountain State. Football also opens their 2009 season on the road on the 29th down in Jacksonville, Fla. against Edward Waters College.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated July 25th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: Not believing in Allah, not feeling love for Allah is a gruesome system. Some people say; "wouldn't only feeling love for Allah be enough?" Well, my brother, look now the Christian priest only feel love for Allah, they do not fear Allah. And there is a formidable collapse.. For instance in Greece, the priests have gathered and prayed. Well, my brother, without feeling fear of Allah, you cannot get anywhere with love for Allah. Fear of Allah brings intelligence, without it your intelligence would be gone first of all. Fear of Allah brings honesty. With love of Allah, when something conflicts with one's own interest.. For instance let us say one saw someone lying on the floor, may Allah forbid, for instance being hit by a car he is lying there on the floor. This one feels love for Allah and might say; "My Lord, this one is entrusted to You, I am going now. You will take care of it, You are full of love, You will be doing whatever is necessary." What would a person fearing Allah do? He would stop the car, knowing that he will get himself in trouble, put him to his car and take him. That is because if an unclaimed person is on the floor in a comatoze state, the police would take you and arrest you when you take him to the hospital. They wouldn't let you go because it might have been you who hit that person with your car. If one has a high moral standing, he would take the risk of being imprisoned, he would risk everything. His car will be in a welter of blood and he will risk that as well. That is because if it were your own child there on the road, would you stop there or not? You would definitely stop. What about that one? He is a son of Adam. Are you not the son the prophet Adam as well? And he is your brother, how can you leave him on the ground? That would be murder. Shooting the man yourself or leaving him on the ground like that are exactly the same.
They saw the woman being beaten and -pardon my language- that grown man is standing there watching without doing anything. You cattle!.. They do so thinking what if something happens. So be it, the most that can happen is that you would be martyred. Or you would be injured and become a veteran for the good pleasure of Allah. What is the logic in watching that poor thing, that inoffensive woman being beaten to desolatingly in front of everyone's eyes? That is a grave immorality. Step in. Right? Call the police.. The attacker would hold back anyway, if you come onto him with a crowd. That is the reason why they find the guts to do all kinds of immorality. Inside a store they go and stab a woman. The man is sure that no one would dare to do anything. And the people around are watching! But you would go inside and say; "What is happening here?" Bend his arm and take that knife from his hand. If you come for him, he cannot do anything. That is because you are not his enemy. He would hold back from you. He is only angry with her. You step in and say; "Have fear of Allah!" Right? You advise him and say; "Come to senses, seek refuge with Allah from the satan. Say 'Auzubillah Minashaitan Nirajeem Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim.' She is a servant of Allah as well, have you gone mad? " you would say. Insha'Allah.

Authors: Fernando Loup
Recently Superluminal Neutrinos have been observed in the OPERA experiment at CERN.Since the neutrino possesses a non-zero rest mass then according to the Standard Model,Relativity and Lorentz Invariance this Superluminal speed result would be impossible to be achieved.This Superluminal OPERA result seems to be confirmed and cannot be explained by errors in the measurements or break-ups in the Standard Model,Relativity or Lorentz Invariance. In order to conciliate the Standard Model,Relativity and Lorentz Invariance with the OPERA Superluminal Neutrino we propose a different approach: Some years ago Gauthier,Gravel and Melanson introduced the idea of the micro Warp Drive:Microscopical particle-sized Warp Bubbles carrying inside sub-atomic particles at Superluminal speeds. These micro Warp Bubbles according to them may have formed spontaneously in the Early Universe after the Big Bang and they used the Alcubierre Warp Drive geometry in their mathematical model.We propose exactly the same idea of Gauthier,Gravel and Melanson to explain the Superluminal Neutrino at OPERA however using the Natario Warp Drive geometry.Our point of view can be resumed in the following statement:In a process that modern science still needs to understand,the OPERA Experiment generated a micro NatarioWarp Bubble around the neutrino that pushed it beyond the Light Speed barrier.Inside the Warp Bubble the neutrino is below the Light Speed and no break-ups of the Standard Model,Relativity or Lorentz Invariance occurs but outside the Warp Bubble the neutrino would be seen at Superluminal speeds.Remember that the CERN particle accelerators were constructed to reproduce in laboratory scale the physical conditions we believe that may have existed in the Early Universe so these micro Warp Bubbles generated after the Big Bang may perhaps be re-created or reproduced inside particle accelerators. We believe that our idea borrowed from Gauthier,Gravel and Melanson can explain what really happened with the neutrinos in the OPERA experiment.We also explain here the results obtained by Glashow-Cohen and Gonzalez-Mestres

Two men arrested in related DUI incidents
June 18, 2013
California Highway Patrol officers ended up arresting two men in separate but related drunken-driving incidents Thursday night, after one of the men overturned his vehicle and the other drove around emergency personnel at the accident scene.
CHP officers had responded to the scene of the accident on Highway 174 in the Chicago Park area at just after 11 p.m., according to Officer Greg Tassone.
Christian Lee Baker, 38, of Colfax was driving southbound on Highway 174 when he lost control of his vehicle in a curving area of the road south of Meyer Road, Tassone said in a press release.
Baker's Acura Integra went off the roadway at about 10:15 p.m. and overturned. Baker sustained minor injuries, but extricated himself from the vehicle, Tassone said. Personnel from the Peardale-Chicago Park Fire Department and Sierra Nevada Ambulance responded, and traffic lanes were partially closed for 10 minutes while emergency crews worked at the scene.
Baker was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and was taken to Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital for evaluation and treatment.
While one-way traffic controls were in effect, a man identified as Kyle Clinton Love allegedly failed to stop and drove around fire department personnel holding a large stop sign. Love then drove into the oncoming lane, Tassone said.
He was intercepted by a CHP officer on foot and allegedly was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol. He was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, booked and released on $1,404 bail.

Thavolia Glymph to deliver Grace McFadden Lecture Oct. 13
Duke University scholar and former University of South Carolina historian Dr. Thavolia Glymph will discuss the transition in the relations of Southern black and white women in the antebellum South when she delivers the Grace Jordan McFadden lecture at the University of South Carolina Tuesday, Oct. 13.
The lecture, free and open to the public, will take place at 7 p.m. in the Carolina Room of the Inn at USC. Her lecture is based on her book of the same title, "Out of the House of Bondage: The Transformation of the Plantation Household," which was released last year. In her book, Glymph challenges the prevailing notion that plantation mistresses were "friends" and "allies" of slaves in the antebellum South and details the politics and struggles in the running of the plantation household.
The lecture is sponsored by the Institute for Southern Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Glymph is an associate professor of African and African-American studies and history at Duke University. Her research and writing focuses on slavery, emancipation and the U.S. Civil War and Reconstruction, economic history and Southern women.
McFadden was a pioneer at the University of South Carolina, as she was the first African-American woman hired at a professorial rank in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and was the first African-American woman to receive tenure in that college.
For more information about the McFadden lecture, call the Institute for Southern Studies at 803-777-2340.

Advocates expect senators in both parties to file hundreds of amendments to the Senate's Gang of Eight immigration overhaul, and they hope the 844-page bill will emerge improved but not dismantled by the red pens of the Judiciary Committee.
Senators took their legislation on the road during the congressional recess, and the pressure of conservative opposition appeared to yield early concessions from a key backer, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who said the bill likely couldn't pass the House and may need to be changed even to clear the Senate.

I used zoos lock and combined everything and got an overlay to work so now I can use it on any wallpaper thank god. Pain in the ***.
When iOS 7 is jailbroken, I'm definitely not theming my phone! I'll prolly use my Wifi signals but that's about it. I just need Shrink, Five-Column & Gridlock then I'll be good!
Here credits are in the theme.
use wallpaperjpegifier and change wallpaper in settings only
I want someone to make a color keyboard theme since I woudnt know how
Do you think you can make the UI white and light blue as the ios7 UI has like the bottom Nav bar and top nav bar? Also the notification bar is like a dark translucent color and bigger. It would be better if you packed it in a [email protected]k file so we won't have to use winterboard. And yes I like the new ios7 keyboard would be nice to have that and the clock on lockscreen make it bigger and use the font in ios7.
What do you think of the keyboard. A little more ios7 like. Not mine. Just google ios7 keyboard and first YouTube link.
Looks good. Wanted to use a keyboard template to get an idea of what I gotta do and started using noki keyboard. I'm just gonna use that.
Any way to get any of this working on an iPad?
I have a 5. Would your centering and stuff on your 4S work with my 5?

Re: Possible Bug in ArcTan ?
Try the two argument form of ArcTan, ArcTan[x,y].
David Park
djmp at earthlink.net
From: JCDenton [mailto:post4uw at web.de]
To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net
Hi Group!
I am describing resonant electrical systems with Mathematica. So there
is a lot of dealing with complex numbers and functions. One important
function is:
This function is zero when Im = 0. The problem is, that when I plot
this function it shows some strange behaviour near this zero point. It
looks somehow, as if the function values are multiplied with -1 or
something like that. I also tried to calculate a table an plot this
with gnuplot where the stepsize was 0.005. I was the same strange
situation. So I am sure it is not the Plot function that is buggy but
the ArcTan itself. I also tried the table with step size 0.05 and I get
the "right" picture with gnuplot. Is this a known bug? I have not found
something about it yet.
I realy need this function, since it is a very important operation in
complex calculation.
Thank you!

Best Of :: People & Places
This is a tough category for a city such as Dallas, where most restaurant patios and decks overlook parking lots or city streets. What the city lacks are more public spaces, the kinds of courtyards and plazas found in Europe. The West Village has accomplished this plaza feel (although the traffic is still an issue), particularly outside the Magnolia Theatre, where al fresco dining can be had beside Taco Diner, Paciugo, Paris Vendome and Nikita. All form a kind of faux courtyard, and diners, some with their leashed dogs in tow, can engage friends and loved ones as they make their way to the movies. Although cars can obstruct the view, the venue is an attractive meet-and-greet for the see-and-be-seen set, and it lends itself to that sense of community so sorely lacking in modern times. Or at the very least, a beer.
Everything about La Duni is magnificent, from the tasteful décor to the incredible pork-loin-filled "slow-roasted lomo." But the attributes of La Duni are made more apparent after you've had several of their signature drinks, especially our fave, the margarinha. It's a combination margarita-mojito, made with Sauza Silver tequila, hand-crushed limes, sugar, Cointreau and crushed ice. And, yes, it's as refreshing as it sounds. Is your mouth feeling dry yet? Is it? Seriously, is it?
Sound like a dorkfest? Fine, then call us dorks. Pete's is a surprisingly rollicking time: Four top-notch key-strokers attack two baby grands, taking requests and playing favorite tunes by request. Sure, it ain't the Cliburns, but it's a good time and something unique to do on a Friday night in Dallas. Nothing wrong with that.
With more than 60 acres of incredibly landscaped park to choose from, the Dallas Arboretum can provide a great backdrop to a portrait for anything. The Arboretum has fountains and sculptures, and something is always blooming, so you can wander around until you find a good spot. Even in the heat of the summer, the Arboretum seems like a cool and calming place. Maybe they're growing poppies.
Sidle up to the bar and order a Lone Star longneck. Then another. Then one for the pretty young thing next to you. Then a round for the people you just met. Fall off your barstool on your way to the restroom. Get lost coming back. Stand in front of the band while it rides herd over a sweet set of C&W, the kind your daddy told you about. Grab another longneck, which is sweating a little bit less than you are at this point. Ask that pretty young thing to dance. Fall down again and come up laughing. Keep doing this until you're out of money and out the door. Come back and do it again next week. That's what Adair's is like. And thank the Lord.
In most large cities, the downtown area is a grid of one-way streets. Easy to understand, easy to negotiate. In Dallas, while the streets curve more than their counterparts on the East Coast, the same concept holds true. So why is it that in cities like New York and Boston you almost never see someone going the wrong way on a one-way street but here in Big D it happens almost daily? Good question, though we have no answer. We offer only proof. If you work downtown, we suggest spending your lunch hour camped out on any corner with a one-way street. Wait there for a while. It won't be long before you see some confused, oblivious driver pointing his or her Honda Civic the wrong way. Then you can watch, amused, as other motorists honk and point in vain while the fool in the Honda looks wildly for street signs but continues to drive the wrong way anyway. Ugh. In New York, they don't ticket you for those types of stupid indiscretions; they beat you and leave you for dead.

Hassan Rouhani, Iran's newly elected President, calls himself a "moderate." Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the man he'll succeed, was anything but. Does that mean Iran is ready to make the changes voters apparently wanted? What does it mean for the US, Israel and the rest of the world? Also, US intelligence chiefs detail terror plots foiled by surveillance, and as NATO formally transfers authority to the government of Afghanistan, the US agrees to talks with the Taliban.
On Friday, June 21st at 12p, join KCRW and America Abroad for an international town hall meeting on Iran. The discussion will bring together experts, activists, Iranian diaspora communities, and social media voices inside Iran for a 90 minute-long conversation on the country, its people and their future.
Seasoned NPR Broadcaster, Madeline Brand, and BBC Persian Service anchorwoman Pooneh Ghodossi will co-host two panels – one in Los Angeles and one in London, connected via Skype. Panelists will represent diverse elements of Iranian society and culture including a Persian human rights activist and a member of one of Iran's non-Persian ethnic minority communities.
In addition to fielding questions and comments from the audiences in both cities, Pooneh will be adding a steady stream of Persian-language Tweets from inside Iran that reach us over the course of the program.

2013 -- The Year of the Savvy Real Estate Investor?
2012 has delivered on our predictions at the start of the year – prices in the Dubai market steadily grew with each quarter outperforming the last. In 2013 buyers will definitely be able to benefit from this capital growth, but will need to be very savvy about where they invest and in which projects in each area.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N. Y. – MetroCards purchased before Hurricane Sandy struck will not be refunded, the MTA announced Monday.
"The decision was made over this weekend," said MTA spokesperson Aaron Donovan. "This is the same reaction we took after Hurricane Irene." Donovan said that October MetroCards were allowed to be used until Nov. 5, which means it is not "purely non-refundable." He also said people rode free on subways and commuter rails Nov. 1 and Nov 2.
The MTA system was struck hard by Hurricane Sandy, but much of its service has reopened. Do you believe the MTA made the right or wrong choice? Let us know with your comments below.

It's been a season of discontent for the New York Jets as they lost their shutdown cornerback Darrelle Revis in Week Four and their most potent offensive playmaker in Santonio Holmes this past Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
Holmes suffered a season-ending LisFranc injury on the first play of the fourth-quarter as he hauled in a four-yard reception, but fell on his left foot immediately flinging the football into the air as he lay on the field writhing in pain. Niners cornerback Carlos Rogers scooped up the loose ball and returned it 51 yards for a score to give the Niners a commanding 24-0 lead. According to Rogers, from that point on it seemed as though Ryan's Jets threw in the towel.
"You could see it happening," reflected Rogers. "It kinda shocked me just because, you know, a lot of guys were saying on the sideline, 'Oh, they don't want to tackle, they don't want to do this, they don't want to do that.' That's a Rex Ryan defense. That's a Rex Ryan team."
Stingy run defense has been a staple of Ryan's tenure in New York, but in Week Four the Jets surrendered a season-high 245 rushing yards, while allowing six different San Francisco ball-carriers to tally at least 12 yards on the ground. Gang Green ranks 31st in the NFL in run defense with opponents averaging 172.8 rushing yards per contest.
In Roger's mind, Ryan's defensive unit had their spirit broken and packed it in late in the second half.
Rogers fumble return broke up the game last Sunday
"It kinda seemed like, after a while they just, I know, looking at their defense, they didn't want to be out there," Rogers said. "And after that it's like, man, these guys don't really want to play the game. You know, it's pretty much over.
With Ryan taking umbrage to the media's "circus" label the past few months, Roger's comments didn't sit well with New York's head man. While he readily admitted his defensive front was exhausted from the Niners bruising style of play, Ryan vehemently disputed the claim that his team gave up.
"Late in the game, did we get fatigued? I think we did," Ryan said. "I think we wore down a little bit at the end of the game. But there's no quit. You can look at that tape. There's no quit."

Our Prophet (saas) was illiterate, meaning he was unable to read or write. He had received no special madrassa training. Neither was he taught any foreign languages. Our Prophet (saas) only knew Arabic. Allah also bestowed on him innate knowledge and the hidden knowledge (ilm al-ladun). Hazrat Mahdi (as), who will appear in 1400 according to the Islamic calendar and who will be the greatest mujaddid (reviver), saint and final guide of the End Times, will receive no madrassa training, either, and will possess only innate knowledge and the hidden knowledge (ilm al-ladun). Allah will purify Hazrat Mahdi (as) in a single night, meaning that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come into possession of very profound knowledge in the course of a single night.
Our Prophet (saas) tells us that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be enlightened with such special knowledge in the words:
The Mahdi is from us, from the Ahl al-Bayt. ALLAH WILL PURIFY* HIM IN A NIGHT (* i.e., will forgive him, or give him success and the inspiration of wisdom and guidance). (Sunan Ibn Majah, vol:10, Bab: 34, p. 348)

PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- The difference between Paul Allen and Howard Schultz is the difference between the Seattle Seahawks playing in their second Super Bowl and the Seattle SuperSonics playing their sixth season in Oklahoma City as the Thunder.
Both Allen and Schultz built their respective empires in the Seattle area, but there's a reason one is seen as a benevolent oligarch and the other still hasn't been forgiven by the city's sports fans. Allen began building his $15 billion fortune as co-founder of Microsoft, based in Redmond, Wash., while Schultz stuffed his $1.6 billion coffers during his tenure as chief executive of Seattle's own Starbucks. In 1997, Allen took $194 million of that fortune and purchased the Seahawks from previous owner Ken Behring, who had threatened to move the team to Southern California.
Allen argued that the Seahawks would never be profitable in the 21-year-old Kingdome, but had to pay $130 million and cover potential cost overruns just to secure an extremely close vote on $300 million in public financing. The Seahawks not only got their new echo chamber of a stadium, but got former Green Bay Packers coach Mike Holmgren to lead the team in 2009. The combination, plus an influx of talent including NFL MVP running back Shaun Alexander and quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, led the franchise to its first Super Bowl appearance in 2005.
Just around that time, Schultz was nearing the end of his tenure as the Sonics' owner. The team struggled mightily under his tenure, trading away All-Star and face of the franchise Gary Payton during the 2002-03 season after a feud with Schultz (who Payton still loathes for making him leave Seattle) and making the playoffs exactly once: During a Ray Allen/Rashard Lewis-driven run in 2004-05 that would be the franchise's last playoff appearance as the Sonics. Viewed as a miserly business man with woefully little sports acumen -- a depiction not helped by former Sonics employees' takes of trophy scrubbing and $3.50 Starbucks' gift cards and only bolstered by the franchise's postmortem documentary SonicsGate -- Schultz was already less than popular among Sonics fans.
When Schultz pressed for tax dollars to update the Sonics' Key Arena, fans scoffed and accused him of being too cheap to field a competitive team, never mind maintain a building. When he sold the team to Oklahoma City businessman Clayton Bennett in 2006 for $350 million, fans had absolutely no faith in his early -- but withdrawn -- lawsuit attempting to prevent the team from moving or the "good-faith best effort" stipulation he'd coaxed out of Bennett in a last-ditch effort to keep the team in Seattle.

Rolles gave the black belt to Rashad Evans. Besides he had never trained with gi, he won the black belt of No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu. What do you think about this graduation?
Each one gives the belt for a reason, who am I to criticize who's giving a belt? The guy has to know something about self defense, about Jiu-Jitsu, ground, passing a guard... He can't only be a tough guy, because he doesn't represent the top of Jiu-Jitsu. Rashad can use any belt, he's a born fighter, he trains. Rolles gave it, but in my gym he would have to train with gi .But I don't contest it.

June 20, 2016 — You don't have to spend a fortune on accommodation in Montréal. There are numerous budget hotel options available, from low-cost hotels to youth hostels to hotel apartments and even university residences. You can even camp!
Furnished and Hotel Apartments
One sure way to save money while travelling is to cook for yourself, which makes staying in a hotel apartment or a furnished apartment a definite bonus (especially for families). Available for short or long stays in a multitude of configurations (i.e. studio or multi-bedroom), you'll enjoy a home away from home! Many such units in the city have been recently renovated and some even include a pool or fitness room.
Youth Hostels and University Residences
Conveniently located close to downtown, Montréal's youth hostels and university residences offer private, semi-private or dormitory lodging (summertime only for residences). Aside from basic services (some places even offer a fully-equipped kitchen), hostels and residences offer a fantastic way to meet people of all ages from all walks of life.
Camping Sites
Who ever said that you couldn't camp in the city? There are many campgrounds around Montréal for both tent and trailer camping. In particular, Camping Alouette is located just 30-km outside of Montréal and features 400 sites plus a daily downtown shuttle. Just a few kilometres away from the nearest metro, the Camping Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville is in a SEPAQ park nestled at the heart of nature, surrounded by the Saint-Lawrence River.

Tulsa already has star in Arenado
Odorizzi, Colon lead Naturals while Gyorko returns to Missions
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | April 3, 2012 5:00 PM ET
So who is the next Double-A prospect with the ability to advance quickly? Nolan Arenado is probably one name that most Texas League pitchers will dread facing this summer following his huge Arizona Fall League performance last year.
Arenado, the Rockies' No. 1 prospect, led all of Minor League Baseball with 122 RBIs last season. Only one other batter had more RBIs in baseball last year, Miguel Cabrera, who had 126 in 161 games. Arenado did it in 134.
"My goal is always just getting the runner in," Arenado told MiLB.com.. "I take pride in getting my RBIs and that's what I really want. I've got make sure that I do whatever I can do to help the team win, a sac fly or whatever it is. I've got to get that run in. It doesn't matter how, I just have to put the ball in play."
And so the odds of Arenado not being in town when his Tulsa Drillers host the 2012 All-Star Game on June 28 depend on whether the Rockies have pulled the trigger yet on bringing him up. Arenado figures to anchor a Drillers lineup that will include shortstop Josh Rutledge, the Rockies' No. 16 prospect, and outfielder Kent Matthes (No. 20).
And then there's No. 4 Chad Bettis, who will eventually be the Drillers' ace. He's expected to begin the season on the disabled list with a triceps injury. Bettis, ranked No. 66 overall by MLB.com, went 12-5 with a 3.34 ERA and 184 strikeouts in 27 starts last season for Class A Advanced Modesto.
"I'm developing a lot more power, but my goal out there isn't to hit more home runs," he said. "I would obviously like to hit more, but I'm not changing my swing. I'm hoping to keep things the same, and then everything will work out from there."
The league's annual All-Star event will also feature a Home Run Derby, which will include six Texas League All-Stars and four local high school hitters. A league champion and a high school champ both will be crowned during the pregame event.
Colon, Royals prospects want more
Christian Colon, the Royals' first-round pick in 2010, is returning to Northwest Arkansas after batting .257 in his first taste of Double-A pitching in 2011. Colon was one of the big names to get drafted two years ago, going No. 4 overall, but he finds himself -- as do some other hyped Royals prospects like Wil Myers and John Lamb -- in a position to prove himself again in '12.
The Naturals, who featured Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas in recent seasons, will be home to five of Kansas City's top 10 prospects: Myers (2), Jake Odorizzi (4), Lamb (6), Chris Dwyer (7) and Colon (9), plus Noel Arguelles (11) and Kevin Chapman.
Myers returns after a mediocre summer in which he batted .254 with eight homers in 99 games. The outfielder -- a third-round pick from 2009 -- was named a Rising Star in the AFL and selected to the Futures Game last year, so 2012 appears to be a pivotal opportunity for him.
Odorizzi has been lights-out for much of his career, although his 4.72 ERA in the Texas League last year could have been better. The former Brewers farmhand knows a good showing in Double-A will open the door to the American League.
"My main goal is I want to be able to make an impact on the Major League team sometime this year, whenever that may be," Odorizzi told MiLB.com. "I just want to be able to help the Major League team out. Hopefully, we'll be in contention this year."
Lamb, who appeared in eight games for the Nats last year, had Tommy John surgery last June and is still recovering. Dwyer, a lefty out of Clemson, went 8-10 with a 5.60 ERA in 27 starts for Northwest Arkansas last year, so he'll get another chance to prove himself.
Hitman Gyorko back for more
No. 5 Padres prospect Jedd Gyorko led all Minor Leaguers with 192 hits last season, but that wasn't enough to get a ticket to Triple-A. Gyorko, San Diego's second-round pick in 2010, had a huge season at two levels last tear, batting .333 with 25 homers, 114 RBIs, 12 steals and a .400 on-base percentage for Class A Advanced Lake Elsinore and San Antonio.
Most of those numbers came in the hitter-friendly Cal League -- he played 59 games at San Antonio -- so scouts will keep an eye out for his adjustment again. The 23-year-old, who hit .302 with a homer and nine RBIs in 22 Spring Training games this year, enters the season ranked No. 71 overall by MLB.com.
Other notable prospects who should see time in San Antonio include Reymond Fuentes (No. 13 in the Padres' system), Jaff Decker (14) and Edinson Rincon (16), who should make his Double-A debut. Decker, San Diego's top pick in 2008, showed good power with the Missions last season (19 homers, 92 RBIs) but batted .236, the worst mark of his career. The Padres may want to see some additional at-bats in Texas before bumping the outfielder to Triple-A Tucson.

A sprain is an injury to the ligaments around a joint. Ligaments are strong, flexible fibers that hold bones together. When a ligament is stretched too far or tears, the joint will become painful and swell.
Joint sprain
Sprains are caused when a joint is forced to move into an unnatural position. For example, "twisting" one's ankle causes a sprain to the ligaments around the ankle.
Symptoms of a sprain include:
Aspirin, ibuprofen, or other pain relievers can help. DO NOT give aspirin to children.
Keep pressure off the injured area until the pain goes away. This usually takes 7-10 days for mild sprains and several weeks for severe ones. Your doctor may recommend crutches. Physical therapy will help you regain motion and strength of the injured area.
Go to the hospital right away or call 911 if:
Call your doctor for an appointment if:
