DOWNEY - Final-ly!
Behind a swarming defense and the running of sophomore Justin Huff, Downey High trounced visiting Santa Fe 35-3 Friday night in the CIF-SS Southeast Division semifinals, sending the third-seeded Vikings to their first section final since 1957.
"Our first goal was to win (the San Gabriel Valley) League, and we did that," said senior left tackle and co-captain Mark Kozhaya. "Our second goal was to win a playoff game, and we did that.
"And our third goal," he continued, "was to win CIF, and we're right there."
Huff ran for 236 yards and three long touchdowns Friday, including a 59-yarder that reminded some folks of Reggie Bush's famous cutback TD run against Fresno State at the Coliseum. He added an 88-yard scamper on his first carry of the second half, simply outrunning the Santa Fe defense down the Viking sideline, and capped his night with a beautiful 16-yard scamper around the left end in the fourth quarter.
"I said before the season, (Huff) would be our league MVP, he was gonna be the surprise player in Southern California," said Downey coach Jack Williams after an ice-water drenching by his players. With his effort Friday, Huff has now rushed for over 2,200 yards this season.
"He's matured so much in the past two months. He's the first one here, the last one to leave."
Downey's defense held the Chiefs (8-5) to well under 100 rushing yards, and kept sophomore quarterback Christian Lara from dominating the game out of Santa Fe's read-option offense. Lara's first run of the game covered 27 yards, but he was stopped for negative yardage four times and finished with just 34 rushing yards.
Junior free safety Tristan Esparza had two interceptions and made a nice shoestring tackle of Santa Fe's Robert Campos in the third quarter.
On offense, Esparza ran three times for 13 yards and provided a key downfield block for Huff on his 59-yard TD run.
"He's always been one of our elite players." Williams said, "and he shines in games like this."
The Vikings improved their record to 10-3 and won their fifth consecutive game.
Before this season, Downey hadn't won a playoff game since 1999.
"This means everything to us," said Esparza. "We've been working hard since Day 1, doing everything we can to get this win."
Sophomore quarterback Jorge Reyna added 80 rushing yards for Downey, and completed four passes for 86 yards, including a 46-yard strike to senior Josh Moreno.
The Vikings will face La Serna, which beat West Covina in the other semifinal, in next week's division title game.
Downey marched right down the field on its opening drive, going 68 yards in 17 methodical plays, including 10 runs by Huff for 22 yards. There was also a 19-yard pass to Esparza, and Reyna capped the drive with a 5-yard TD run.
The Chiefs responded with a field goal on their first drive - a 33-yarder from Eddie Mendez - but never scored again. Esparza intercepted Lara on the first play of the second quarter, and the Downey defense forced a late punt as well.
The Vikings increased their lead to 14-3 late in the first quarter on Huff's 59-yard run. He took a pitch to the left, turned the corner and raced down the Santa Fe sideline until he was cut off by a defender. He then cut to the right, avoided several more defenders with his quick feet and outran the rest, picking up a key block from Esparza near the 5.
One blemish for the Vikings in the first half was penalties. They committed four for 45 yards, including a roughing the kicker call that extended a Santa Fe drive and cost themselves good field position near midfield. For the game, they committed seven penalties for 75 yards.

Rihanna sues Topshop over use of photo on t-shirt
Listen to Rihanna on iHeartRadio
Rihanna is suing well-known U.K. fashion company Topshop.
According to "BBC News," the pop singer has officially taken legal action over a t-shirt with her photograph on it that's being sold by the chain. Rihanna is claiming that Topshop has misled fans into thinking the t-shirt was merchandise endorsed by her - when in fact the image was taken by a freelance photographer "without her permission" while shooting the video for "We Found Love" in Northern Ireland in 2011. She is asking for $5 million in damages, claiming that Topshop put her reputation at risk.
Topshop, however is saying that they have the right to print the image as it was legally acquired by the photographer. The company also claims that Rihanna's team has contacted them several times "asking for products for her to wear" since threats of legal action were made.

description: Visit a laboratory where crash test dummies undergo high-impact testing to ensure they accurately simulate the human body in a car accident scenario.

title: I Didn't Know That: Crash Test Dummy

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
Throughout the world of testing, there's always one guy that seems to take the hit in the name of safety.  He's a crash test dummy.  At a laboratory in Holland, they test them to ensure their reactions are as human as possible. Ouch.  .....  Ow!
First up, the head drop test. Inside the head are three sensors for measuring acceleration or deceleration; one for each direction.  A sensor in the neck measures the forces on the dummy.  .....  The head is held by an electro magnet, when the button is pressed the current is cut. Ow!
The deceleration; the rate at which the head slows when it hits is measured in 'g'.
REIMIER SMALLEGANGE: The lower limit is set to 100G and up-limit is set to 150G.  The value we measured is 125G so that's right in the middle so we can say that the head has passed its certification.
Next the knee impact test.  A 5 kilogram weight is dropped onto the knee to measure the displacement.  Ouch!
Here, a new dummy is about to be hit full in the ribs.  He has three abdominal force sensors, and his shoulders rotate realistically to expose his side.  Where a human body would break, the dummy stays intact and measures the damage.  In fact a dummy can last for 20 years, but it needs to be recalibrated every few crash tests to make sure it's still accurate. OW!
Lastly, its time for the frontal chest test the kind of forces the dummy could go through if it hit the steering wheel.  If you tried to push the dummy's chest with your hand, you'd get about a centimeter in.  With this test, its compressed more like 7 centimeters. Ow!
Nasty stuff, but it's these simulations that save lives and this dummy is a pass.

IRS gave out $12B in improper refunds last year
(NEWSER) – The Earned Income Tax Credit is that rare IRS feature popular with politicians, economists, and especially with the low-income families it helps, notes theHill. No wonder: Turns out, the IRS is overly generous with the credit. An audit shows that it distributed between $11.6 billion and $13.6 billion in improper EITC refunds last year. That accounts for up to 25% of all such refunds.

The Coelacanth is a species of fish that used to be put forward as evidence for vertebrates' "transition from water to land" thesis. Fossil Coelacanths were once regarded as evidence of an intermediate form between fish and amphibians. Based on fossil remains of the creature, evolutionist biologists suggested it contained a primitive (and not yet fully functional) lung in its body.
On 22 December 1938, however, a most significant discovery was made in the Indian Ocean. A living member of the species Latimeria, a member of the Coelacanth species that had been portrayed as having become extinct 70 million years ago, was caught in the open sea! The discovery of a living Coelacanth definitely came as a major shock to evolutionists. The evolutionist paleontologist J. L. B. Smith said that he could not have been more astonished if he had met a dinosaur in the street.83 In the years that followed, more than 200 Coelacanths have been caught in various regions of the sea.
When the first few of these fish were examined, it was realized that the speculation concerning them had been groundless. Contrary to what had been claimed, the Coelacanth had no primitive lung or a large brain. The structure that evolutionist researchers had thought to be the fish's a primitive lung was actually nothing more than an oil sac in its body.84 Moreover, it was also realized that the Coelacanth, which had been depicted as aamphibian-to-be preparing to emerge from the water, actually lived in deep ocean waters and hardly ever rose to above 180 meters (590 feet).85
At this news, the popularity of the Coelacanth among evolutionist publications suddenly waned. An evolutionist paleontologist by the name of Peter L. Forey made this admission in an article in Nature magazine:
The discovery of [living specimen of] Latimeria raised hopes of gathering direct information on the transition of fish to amphibians, for there was then a long-held belief that coelacanths were close to the ancestry of tetrapods. . . .But studies of the anatomy and physiology of Latimeria have found this theory of relationship to be wanting and the living coelacanth's reputation as a missing link seems unjustified.86
As his admission shows, no intermediate form between fish and amphibians ever existed. The Coelacanth, the only serious intermediate form proposed by evolutionists, is nothing more than a living species of fish with nothing whatsoever to do with evolution.

Exclusive! Lucy Liu: "I'm Always Looking For Prince Charming"
The "Charlie's Angels" star chats about her new film, her dream wedding and 'Mr. Potato Head fairy tales.'
-Brooke Sager
We've seen Lucy Liu kick some serious butt in Charlie's Angels, Lucky Number Slevin and Kill Bill. And yes, we loved it. But on December 12, we can't wait to watch this action gal star in her very first rom-com, Marry Me. The four-hour mini series will debut on Lifetime starring Lucy as Rae Carter, a woman who can't choose between her three male suitors.
It's seems as though Lucy was born to play the role of hot crime fighter in heels. But believe it or not, the actress has always wanted to do a comedy. She grew up constantly watching sitcoms like Three's Company and The Jeffersons. So when she was offered the role of Rae, she was excited to leave her spandex jumpsuits and warfare props at bay.
Read Exclusive! Vanessa Marcil-Giovinazzo: "I Turned Down Playboy Four Times"
How did Lucy feel when she learned that Rae was originally written for a blonde with a Southern accent? "It was a great opportunity to be included something like this," Lucy says. "I'm always attracted to roles not intentionally made for someone who is Asian. I feel like I'm breaking boundaries."
So what proved to be the real challenge? Wading in the romantic comedy pool for the first time. Even to her surprise, Lucy discovered that romantic comedies involve more physicality than actions. "There's a lot of running around. I thought it was going to be all about acting chops, but it's not," she says. A fun, memorable scene she enjoyed filming involved her squatting and walking across a restaurant in heels in an attempt to hide from one of her suitors. "I lost eight pounds doing this movie!" As if she needed it.

Awesome stuff!
Love that shot of the Enterprise (I think) hitting the water with the sun behind it.
meh. Frankly while I understand why they did the reboot its become a joke as regards believability.
Which was ALWAYS before THIS, Star Treks strongest trait
I know what you are saying, but it just looks funny in writing.
Japanese trailer shows a little bit more, most notably the very end with the Wrath of Khan tribute. People are confused now if this is tied into Khan or not, most were predicting the villain to be the obscure Gary Mitchell which even I had to look up to remember who that was.
Watch the end of this
yeah it does for those who are not real fans of Star Trek as it was in the beginning.
Gene Roddenbery did his very best to NOT do anything that was not at least theoretically possible in some manner for the technology; and then with common sense and logic with most other things.
Having a punk like this Kirk as captain frankly makes it a joke
whole crew of young know nothings as well
So your a Trekkie??
I find those comments short sided.
I've been a huge Star Trek fan all my life. When I was 7-8 years old, I was staying up to watch Star Trek TOS that came on at midnight and went off at 1am. The only series I never really got into was Deep Space Nine due to it came off extremely Soap Opera like.
I love the reboot.
As for Chris Pine (this punk as you put it) playing Kirk, I'm guessing you weren't such a big fan as you don't seem to know Kirk's back story. IMO, he is doing an awesome job.
Uhura (Zoe Saldana) is sexy as hell!
I agree with you, Sam. Chris Pine has got the mannerisms pretty well down from the original series. Kirk was always cocky, and somewhat of a punk, and Pine is making it work.
actually I clearly know Kirks back story- AS WRITTEN BY RODDENBERRY- much better then you do.
confident definitely, but your definition of a punk is pretty sad
Doesn't seem so. :laugh2:
Please enlighten me. What is "my" definition of a punk? How does my definition compare to yours? Does your definition of punk include happiness? Just curious how you came to your conclusions based off of my response.
of course someone who has never read Roddenberry's writings on this would think so.
IGNORANCE is bliss for those that don't bother to really look for the answers
obviously you have never read Websters definition. I should say the non PC websters definition.
I see. The modifying words "somewhat of a" before the word "punk" precludes a strict Merriam Websters Dictionary definition. I like Star Trek. It's one of my favorite SciFi series, but I admit, I have never read any of the novels. So, if you want to argue Roddenberry's writing of the original characters versus the reboot's new characters, I think I'll just pass.
One Kirk grew up with a father and the the other did not. That shaped the development of the character. The whole idea is there are supposed to be some differences and still some similarities between the two Kirks.
Gary Mitchell would be cool. Q 2.

Consulting your staff
The EC Directive on informing and consulting employees gives many workers the right to be consulted on key issues affecting the business or work organisation.
Under the Information and Consultation of Employees (ICE) Regulations, employees working for businesses with 50 or more staff have the right to request an information and consultation agreement. A request for an agreement has to be made by a minimum of 10 per cent of the staff, a proportion that must amount to at least 15 employees.
But side from the legal requirements, asking staff for their input can have a number of positive benefits for your business, as outlined below.
Creating a profit culture
Your staff are your key business asset. They know your business, and can highlight practical issues that arise on a day-to-day basis, helping systems to become more efficient and cost-effective, and identifying opportunities for generating new business.
Involving them in the business strategy will also encourage team ownership of projects, and enables all parties to understand their role in achieving the firm's key goals, creating a profit culture throughout the business.
Increasing productivity
Group consultation assists internal communication, and allows employees to feel more informed about issues affecting them. These factors in turn have a positive effect on motivation and productivity.
Here are five ideas for encouraging your employees to give their input:
- Run a brainstorming session - Brainstorming sessions encourage creative thinking and can be an effective way of finding solutions to existing problems and generating fresh ideas.
- Install an 'ideas box' - Providing a suggestions box in the office will allow staff to raise points as and when they arise, and also gives them the option to remain anonymous.
- Request updates - Ask each department to submit a monthly progress report, which includes details of their achievements, frustrations, and future goals. This will ensure that staff remain focused and forward-looking while also allowing them to highlight any obstacles they may be facing.
- Hold regular strategy meetings - Bring staff in on the game by holding monthly strategy meetings. Set a clear agenda which involves everyone, and make sure that the relevant people follow up the points raised. (Remember that this is a forum for offering ideas and suggestions, rather than negotiating issues, and management must retain the ultimate decision-making powers).
- Have a group 'away day' - Holding an away day at a local venue can be an extremely productive exercise. Staff can take part in team-building activities in a relaxed environment, and the risk of interruptions is minimised.
Remember to tell staff when you have acted on their ideas. Employees will appreciate the fact that you are actively seeking their opinions, and will be encouraged to continue looking for ways in which the business can become more profitable.

Zentrum Mikroelektronik Dresden (ZMDI), a supplier of analog and mixed-signal solutions for automotive, industrial and medical applications, has introduced the ZSSC3008 sensor signal conditioning IC. The ZSSC3008 is a solution for resistive bridge sensor systems that require second-order linearity correction for a wide range of sensors.
The ZSSC3008 is optimized for those applications with sensors that do not require temperature compensation because they have an intrinsically low temperature coefficient (TC). This includes ceramic pressure sensors, thin-film pressure sensors with good TC performance, and oil-filled stainless steel or passively compensated sensors. The calibrated ZSSC3008 and a specific sensor are mated digitally: fast, precise, and without the cost overhead associated with trimming by external devices or laser, the company said.
The ZSSC3008 is housed in a SOP8 package. Unit prices start at EUR1.40 (US$1.83) in volumes of 1,000 devices.

Bad Vikings 1st round pick, we have no need for an OLB. Trading down or drafting H.B. Blades, Buster Davis, or even a TE makes more sense.
Horrible 2nd round pick, that is WAY too high for Trannon, Tank Tyler is a better pick.
I know ya needed LB help, just forgot which one. I'll prolly change the Trannon pick for next time too.

The Titans have too many holes to fill other than WR such as DE, CB, and S. LaRon Landry would be an ideal pick here since Gaines Adams is off the board.

7. TEN----Brandon Mebane DT
Uhmmm....Albert Haynesworth, Rien Long, Randy Starks, Jesse Mahelona, and maybe Robaire Smith if we resign him. That's the names of our DTs not including Troy Brown who has looked descent. In other words, it's not a need (atleast as long as Haynesworth is on the team...which at this point in time he is.) I would like to see the Titans pick up Lawrence Jackson. He's a quality DE who was not even taken in your top 2 rounds.
DJ was my highest ranked player on the board and I have him as a true no. 1 to help the development of VY.
Thanks for the DT input, I'll likely change that to DE. And I meant to put Lawrence Jackson as one of my guys who stays.

Love Gaither he fits right into our starting O-Line
IN the 2nd even with his Flaws in Character id Still take MErriweather over Weelde he is a possiblity for uis in the 1st and would be a ncie steal there in the 2nd.
Gaither and Merriweather would be brilliant.
I like Gaither too and think come draft time he and Thomas will be a lot closer.
With Merriweather, again I think people will have short memories and slides to mayber bottom 1st to mid 2nd. A possibility for you guys in the second.

7. TEN----Dwayne Jarrett WR
Decent pick but right now we have quite a few young WR's. May not all be as talented as Jarrett but VY has found a good target in Brandon Jones.
7. TEN----Brandon Mebane DT
Bad pick. I think that we will end up keeping Haynesworth and we just signed Robaire Smith from Houston. Aaron Rouse or Brandon Meriweather would be much great picks here in the 2nd round to play alongside of Hope in our secondary and to get rid of Lamont Thompson...
see above.

I like Pollack, and I had Pitcock here hopin that he's able to come back.

terrible bucs pick we would go with joe thomas there
Does everyone hate Brady Quinn?
1st it was the Raiders with Walter, then many Lions fans, now the Bucs?
Hey I'm not singling you out, but there's a consensus that those 3 teams, and maybe a few others, should at least consider a QB. As far as the Bucs, I never saw Simms as the answer and right now its too early to call Gradkowski your savior. If he continues impressing me all season, then maybe they can look elsewhere.

Lamar Woodley would have been a good pick too either DE put on otherside of justin or a LB replace pollack if hes done.
Aye I'm not giving up on pollack yet... but most likely he'll stick too SLB...but only DE left on board I woulden't mind seeing bengals take might not even be a DE on next level (Lamar Woodley ) once again like the pick alot.....
sense Adams,moses,okam and branch all off the board.

The Vikings picks aren't quite right, but the positions (ILB instead of OLB) and WR are close to being right. Hopefully though, one of our LB's steps up big time so we don't have to draft one in the first and can go WR there.

Branch and okoye would be flat out amazing and then getting a CB like David Irons in the third would make it that much better

Let's just say I have a REALLY GOOD feeling he'd be the pick if this was a 3 rounder.
I had really liked Irons and Deandre Jackson from Iowa St. and was hoping we'd go for one of them at 3, but with Jackson's ACL injury, it makes Irons the man now.

Post subject: Niners draft
I like your thinking with the Niners draft. The d-line is sorely lacking some playmakers and these two guys would help immensely. Someone might argue that the Niners could use more secondary help, but that could come later or in free agency. Nice work!

Nice picks for the Broncos. Love Merriweather in the 2nd but if the kid from Notre Dame is available in the 1st pick him as well. The Broncos picked 3 DB's with their 1st three picks two years ago so I could see them doing that again.

Love the Bengals picks of Pitcock and Rousse, but I will be surprised if either player lasts as long as that.

Two great Defensive Upgrades but for the Lions but I still think one or both need to be spent on the offense.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Chris Paul isn't sure when the Clippers will lose again.
For now he's not going to think about and just enjoy the ride.
Paul had 19 points and 10 assists as the Clippers defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 100-94 on Wednesday for their eighth consecutive win, their longest streak in 21 seasons.
"It's cool," Paul said. "It just means we're playing all right now. But we're not satisfied. We have to keep playing the right way and keep this thing going.
"Sometimes you're going to win and play bad and sometimes you're going to play well and lose. For us it's all about being consistent."
Blake Griffin and Matt Barnes also scored 19 points in a balanced scoring attack for the Clippers, who maintained sole possession of first place in the Pacific Division.
It was by no means a thing of beauty as the Clippers struggled to put the Bobcats away one night after a tough win in Chicago.
"It was kind of one of those grind-it-out games," Griffin said. "But those are the type of games you have to win if you're going to be a great team."
Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said his team certainly didn't play its best game by any stretch but left thrilled to extend the win streak. It is the team's longest since an eight-game run during the 1991-92 season.
"I think it's a good sign for us that we're finding ways to win," Del Negro said. "Everyone is contributing, locking really hard when we need to and making sure we're consistent on some things. We just got to get a little sharper.
"You know we missed a lot of easy shots tonight, a lot of layups, a lot of floaters, a lot of fast breaks ... things we usually convert. But we battled. We got stops at the end and that is what counts."
Byron Mullens had 19 points and eight rebounds and Kemba Walker had 17 points to lead the Bobcats, who have lost nine in a row since starting the season 7-5.
Charlotte trailed 78-71 entering the fourth quarter and got as close as three points before Barnes scored on a fast-break dunk off an alley-oop pass from Jamal Crawford. Barnes followed up by knocking down a 3-pointer from the corner on the next possession to push the lead back to eight.
Charlotte got no closer than five points, due in large part to shooting just 32 percent from the field in the final quarter. The Bobcats also turned it over three times in the quarter, leading to seven points for the Clippers.
Coach Mike Dunlap said his team is understandably "frustrated" but believes it will keep improving as it gains more experience.
"Offensively we had some turnovers and that's our Achilles," said Dunlap, in his first year with the Bobcats. "We've got to learn how to be down three or five (points) and execute in those situations."
Added Bobcats guard Gerald Henderson: "A couple of times we were right there. We either couldn't get a stop or got a little stagnant on offense and couldn't make a shot. But that's the kind of basketball we kind of need to play, is scrappy, and get after it and just fight."

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- Surveillance video shows a sport utility vehicle plowing through the front door of an Ohio jewelry store before two men run in, smash display cases and bag several items.
An undisclosed amount of sterling silver was taken after the truck backed into Taylor Made Jewelry in Aon Sunday night.
Store owner Jim Taylor tells the Akron Beacon Journal (http://bit.ly/GVKzzM) the SUV was found abandoned and most of the items were recovered. Workers on Monday took inventory, boarded up damage and installed a temporary door.
Police say a patrol officer saw the vehicle race from the store and followed. The men stopped and ran and remain at large.

It kicks off already! looks like a good start to the night.
How many of you are interested in the UCMMA show tonight (unless your mate is fighting..)
MMA Officials London, Essex and East Anglia representative
Leon Edwards is a quality fighter... He came in really light as well if he dropped to LW he'll be a monster.
Who the fuck is Sam Boo?!
MMA Officials London, Essex and East Anglia representative
Fisher is an animal
Liam Bad Intentions James, pro mma uk featherweight!!
Any links for Bamma?
Im gona come at you like a SPIDERMONKEY.....you hear that a SPIDERMONKEY
Yannick wins again.. 4-0 now. He'll be massive when he drops to 170.
BAMMA should really start putting on a free facebook stream for their prelims. I mean they have got a fourteen fight fightcard with some cracking match ups and there's a high likelihood we only going to get the chance to see two of them.
The undercard is packed and surerly it will help their fan base if they were to show their product live online like the UFC and Cage Warriors do.
I know they release fights on Youtube afterwards but they aren't the quickest with them. Has to wait two month's to see Curt's last fight when he was supposed to be on the televised card anyway.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
jude was a bit tired so we'll only get the "Return of Alex Reid" channel 5 show. And if anyone can explain to me WTF Sam Boo is fighting the bronzed god that is Alex I'll go to bed a happy man. And not have to stay up for it...

Doolan wins via Triangle in and 1 after being dropped by the overhand right.
Well done!

Yeah, we put a lot of shots on Cloutier, Biron said. He made some really good saves out there. We had some great opportunities. We created a lot of offense, especially in the last half of the game. We hit the post, the puck slid in the crease, the puck went off a guys pants and went through the crease. They all could have went in.

Donna Summer's family is battling over the late singer's estate.
Summer's youngest daughters Brooklyn, 31 and Amanda, 28 were born to her second and latest husband, singer/songwriter Bruce Sudano. Summer married Sudano in 1980.
The late singer had Mimi, 39 with her ex-husband and German actor Helmut Sommer.
A family insider says that the girls began arguing shortly before Summer passed away.
"Mimi thinks she should get the most because she is first born, but Brooklyn made it clear that she and her sister Amanda should get more," the family friend told reporters.

Topic: Any suggestions for a newly diagnosed?
As mentioned in the Intro, my mom - 77 years of age, has recently been diagnosed of having bdc. Our strategy is to nurse her strength back, then opt for a recission surgery. Apparently she doesn't seem to have any appetite at all. Perhaps has similar experiences could share with me on what are the alternatives that could help us. We have been giving her supplements - Milk Thistle and Omega III.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Remember when Ryan Gosling hangs from the Ferris wheel demanding that Rachel McAdams go on a date with him in The notebook?
And always the same tagline: "From the author of The notebook."
Peter: I usually spend a lot of time walking around, putting ideas in a notebook, seeing where various hares might run.
Why are melodramas like The notebook derided for being unrealistic, while Godzilla gets lauded as the best of the year?
It made the list the first reporting week, I think it tied for 10th the first week that The notebook was out.
He turned the room upside down, but there was no sign of the notebook or papers from it.
Morely nodded shortly and took his notebook from his pocket.
A sergeant followed him with a notebook and pencil, and two men with lanterns.
He put his notebook in his pocket and backed his car out of the alley.
Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his notebook, and handed it to him.

Chicago • Maybe it was race driver Jeff Gordon's shout out to the fans at "Wrigley Stadium." Or Ozzy Osbourne, who decided the lyrics of "Take Me Out to The Ball Game" were not nearly as interesting as the mostly unintelligible words he'd picked out for himself. Or perhaps it was actress Denise Richards, who brought along a little cheat sheet in case she forgot the words.
Whatever the reason, the Chicago Cubs have decided to make the broadcast booth at Wrigley Field, and more importantly, the microphone, off limits to the likes of Vanna White, Erik Estrada and Mickey Rooney. Marion Ross will apparently be the last member of the "Happy Days" cast to sing during the seventh-inning stretch. No more Kid Rock, who, as the story goes, knew it was customary to say something at the end of the song, but went with "Let's get some lunch!" instead of the more traditional "Let's get some runs."
"I think the last couple of years we had gotten away to a couple of people who weren't tied to Chicago," said Jim Oboikowitch, the Cubs in-game programming director in what might be a bit of understatement after more than a decade of Peter Frampton, David Cassidy, Barbara Eden and Frank Sinatra (Junior) leading the Wrigley faithful in song.
Actor Joe Mantegna, a Chicago native and lifelong Cubs fan who has led the singing at Wrigley at least four times, said he agrees with the change. The co-author of play "Bleacher Bums" said there is something wrong with some "Jose Schmo who won an Oscar, is from Canada and hates baseball" donning a Cubs jersey and singing the song. Wrong in many ways, too: See YouTube for the evidence and bring your ear plugs.
At the same time, as a fan of a team that hasn't won the World Series since 1908, Mantegna won't rule out bringing in someone anyone if it can somehow help the Cubs break the most infamous drought in American sports.
"If it takes bringing a Martian to sing to get into the World Series, I'd advocate for that," he said.
Around the majors
Rangers • Lance Berkman is set to make his spring training debut for the Texas Rangers on Thursday.
Berkman had been bothered by a mild right calf strain.
Yankees • Count union head Michael Weiner among those skeptical of the New York Yankees' stated plan to reduce payroll next year.
Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner says the team wants to get under the $189 million luxury tax threshold in 2014. Says Weiner: "I imagine that Mr. Steinbrenner is sincere when he says that, but like a lot of things, I'll believe it when I see it."

PBS' The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer hosted a segment on grassroots groups seeking to influence Iraq policy that included conservative radio host and Move America Forward chairman Melanie Morgan, whose history of false, misleading and unsubstantiated claims regarding the Iraq war went unmentioned during the segment, as did her numerous smears.
On the May 8 edition of PBS' The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, correspondent Judy Woodruff hosted a segment titled "Grassroots Groups Seek to Influence Iraq Policy" featuring Jon Soltz, co-founder and chairman of VoteVets.org, and Melanie Morgan, chairman of Move America Forward (MAF). Morgan, a conservative radio host who has appeared several times on MSNBC's Hardball, has previously spread several false, misleading and unsubstantiated claims regarding the Iraq war, which went unmentioned by Woodruff.
Also, as Media Matters for America has noted, Morgan, referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), said, "We've got a bull's-eye painted on her big, wide laughing eyes," and that "it's time to put the bull's-eye" on Pelosi. Morgan has also said that she "would have no problem" with New York Times executive editor Bill Keller "being sent to the gas chamber" if he "were to be tried and convicted of treason" for the paper's reporting of a Treasury Department program that monitors international financial transactions for terrorist activity. Morgan recently attacked Media Matters as "left-wing free speech Nazis" and likened Media Matters to the Virginia Tech gunman who killed 32 people before shooting himself to death.
During the segment, Morgan claimed that MAF is "a group that speaks loudly for the military families" and told Soltz, an Iraq war veteran, that his organization was focused on "political games." Morgan also offered a brief assessment of the Iraq war:
MORGAN: The Iraqi army is working very hard to accomplish that [stabilize Iraq]. We are working very hard with them. We have attained many of the benchmarks already that the president set out when we invaded Iraq. We have deposed President Saddam Hussein. He's now dead. We have a democrat, freely elected government in place, and we are trying now to secure that peace. And that is the difficult and grinding slog that we face.
In July 2005, Morgan traveled to Iraq with other conservative radio hosts as part of the " 'Voices of Soldiers' Truth Tour" that, in Morgan's words, was intended to "get the story straight from them [the troops] without the filter of the liberal media." The tour was organized by MAF, a conservative activist group. Media Matters for America noted that in an appearance on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews following the tour, Morgan said that during the tour, a top-ranking Iraqi military leader told her that "4,000 terrorists who were related to Al Qaeda" were working in Iraq under the direction of Saddam Hussein prior to the March 2003 U.S. invasion. But despite the explosive nature of this allegation, the claim has not appeared in any news reports, nor has any additional evidence been provided to substantiate it.
As Media Matters also noted, the 9-11 Commission found "no evidence" that contacts between Iraq and Al Qaeda "developed into a collaborative operational relationship." Also, on April 5, the inspector general of the Defense Department declassified a report that reviewed the pre-Iraq war intelligence gathering activities of the department's Office of Special Plans, run by then undersecretary of Defense for policy Douglas J. Feith. While the report stated that the actions of Feith's office were "inappropriate," it also reported that "[t]he Intelligence Community discounted conclusions about the high degree of cooperation between Iraq and al-Qaida," adding that it is "noteworthy" that the post-war debriefs of Saddam Hussein and other former high ranking Iraqi government officials "as well as document exploitation by [the Defense Intelligence Agency] all confirmed that the Intelligence Community was correct: Iraq and al-Qaida did not cooperate in all categories" before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, as The Washington Post reported.
Morgan also asserted that, according to the "troops" and "top brass" with whom she spoke on the 2005 trip, the Iraqi insurgency was in its "last gasps" and the U.S. can begin "drawing down" its troop deployments following election of a permanent constitutional government in Iraq the upcoming December. Yet Media Matters for America noted that evaluations of the conflict at that time by top military and defense officials suggested that the insurgency had maintained its strength, and President Bush has repeatedly stated that the U.S. will withdraw its forces only once the Iraqi military is prepared to fight the insurgency.
Also, in another August 2005 appearance on Hardball, Morgan falsely suggested that Iraqi armed forces had reached 60 percent "readiness." In fact, while Iraqi forces had reached 60 percent of their recruiting goals, a July 2005 Pentagon brief contradicted Morgan's claim of readiness. The brief indicated that only a small fraction of current Iraqi units were capable of fighting insurgents without coalition support.
Duriing the May 8 NewsHour segment, Morgan claimed that she would like to see Soltz "say to the troops in the field" "that they are failing, that they have failed, miserable performance, that they are losing." She also said that Soltz was "shameful and really disrespectful to our troops." Soltz replied, "I am the troops."
From the May 8 edition of PBS' The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer:
WOODRUFF: And, Melanie Morgan, whom does your organization, Move America Forward, whom do you speak for?
MORGAN: Well, we have over a million people who belong to our organization, which is the largest pro-American, pro-troop organization in the United States. And we are a group that speaks loudly for the military families, Gold Star family members who still support the war, who still support the president, and our efforts to stabilize Iraq, and the global war on terror, which is even more important in the long term.
WOODRUFF: And, Melanie Morgan, Move America Forward, what do you want to see happen in Iraq?
MORGAN: I want to see victory, and apparently the Democrats don't, because otherwise why would you possibly conceive of funding a war in six-month increments? I would like to see Congressman Rahm Emanuel [D-IL] explain that plan or whatever it is that he seems to be proposing, along with commander in chief Nancy Pelosi, to our troops directly to their face.
Tell them that they are failing; that they have a failed, miserable performance; that they are losing. I'd like to see Mr. Soltz say that to the troops in the field, as well. I don't think that you would get that exact same opinion from them, nor from the millions of other Americans who wish for us --
SOLTZ: We are the troops.
MORGAN: -- to succeed, to find a strategy that will work, to give it time to work, to be patient, and to win.
WOODRUFF: And I'm going to have Mr. Soltz respond to that, but, just to be clear, you're saying you want the troops to stay how long?
MORGAN: I want the troops to stay until the job is done. And that will be determined by our generals who are running and prosecuting this war.
When there have been political benchmarks that have been reached, when we have a stabilization -- I have often said, we've already won the war in Iraq. We have not won the peace. And that is the difficult job.
The Iraqi army is working very hard to accomplish that. We are working very hard with them. We have attained many of the benchmarks already that the president set out when we invaded Iraq. We have deposed President Saddam Hussein. He's now dead. We have a democrat, freely elected government in place, and we are trying now to secure that peace. And that is the difficult and grinding slog that we face.
WOODRUFF: Jon Soltz, what do you have to say to that?
SOLTZ: Well, we are the troops. And there was nothing worse than when I was in combat in Iraq and a soldier that I sent on a convoy was killed, and I had to hear my president, a man who never had the courage to serve in Vietnam, entice my enemy with words like, "Bring it on."
MORGAN: Oh, please!
SOLTZ: So this is a very important thing. This week, VoteVets.org is launching a major, massive campaign component, or not campaign, but an education of sorts, where we're running commercials across the country. And we're not just using Iraq war veterans. We're having General [John] Batiste, the [former] commander of the 1st Infantry Division in Iraq.
Of course, President Bush says he listens to the commanders on the ground, but General Batiste, going in to four different states, where there's four different senators, and House districts across the entire country, saying, "Mr. President, you don't listen to the commanders in the field. You've put our Army and our Marine Corps in peril."
And it's up to these senators to protect America, and not George Bush. And that's what this is about. This is about victory against Al Qaeda.
MORGAN: No, this is exactly what it's about, Mr. Soltz.
SOLTZ: We are a pro-troop organization. We fought for this country --
MORGAN: We are a pro-troop organization, as well.
SOLTZ: -- and we do not support -- excuse me, ma'am. Excuse me.
MORGAN: What it is about for you is political games.
WOODRUFF: I want to let each one of you speak. So, Mr. Soltz, finish that sentence, and then I want to hear --
SOLTZ: Yes, ma'am. I have fought for this country, and I have earned my right for you to hear my opinion on this show.
SOLTZ: But she's [Morgan] right. I couldn't agree with her more. Al Qaeda is listening, and that's the entire point. And Al Qaeda supports their policy. They have undermined our troops in field. They've empowered Iran.
Al Qaeda said it two days ago. They want us in Iraq. They've strategically fixed our assets to defeat them in the war on terror inside the middle of a Shia-Sunni conflict in the middle of the Middle East. And it's absolutely ridiculous.
MORGAN: Well, it's nice to know that you really believe in the fearsome firepower of Al Qaeda and in their ability to win a war. And I think what you're saying is shameful and really disrespectful to our troops.
SOLTZ: You're undermining our troops in the field right now by these comments. I am the troops.

Bradley hosted his own Media Day workout in Los Angeles Tuesday. How confident was Bradley that he would dethrone Pacman on June 9? Well, Bradley was posing with fight poster he custom designed – for the REMATCH! The poster also lists the on-sale date for tickets as June 10 – the day after their Las Vegas fight. Of course, Bradley being supremely confident should come as no surprise to ProBoxing-Fans.com readers.

I would like to make a public apology to DarkJedi613. I was wrong to make that accusation. Cavalier One, you were correct, I did delete that comment. It was rude and nasty and will not be tolerated on my site. I should have been able to tell the difference between DarkJedi613's tone in writing me messages and whoever this John Whelan's tone. DarkJedi613, when you write me comments on the wiki, you are calm and kind in your tone, while the John Whelan sounded more like a "anti-Christian". It must have just been someone who was browsing Freewebs and just happened to comment on MY site. So I am basically saying sorry and I will terminate my request to become an administrator. I also was NOT threatning you. I just said that I would have been able to tell a lie from a sentence. So Sorry. Gryff23 18:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Apology accepted. I hope you enjoy contributing to this Wiki and decide to stay. Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you have any more questions. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 23:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
And you'll never believe this, that John Whelan visited my page again and left another rude comment. I emailed my co-webmaster for a second opinion on deleting the guestbook page and he agreed. I know it was not you DarkJedi613. :) Gryff23 01:23, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry to hear it. Best of luck to you. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 02:30, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Maybe you should install a guestbook that will let you block people based on their IP address. It'd be a shame to have to delete your guestbook entirely because of one troll — I'm sure that friendly visitors would like a place to say hello! You can find free guestbook scripts online (Megabook is good), or if you don't want to muck around with installing CGI on your site, you can sign up for one on a free web tools site like Bravenet.
- As for things here at HP Wiki, Gryff23, please don't be dissuaded from editing here. Everything's been sorted out. :-) -Starstuff 02:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

8th grader jailed over NRA shirt
WOWK 13 Charleston, Huntington WV News, Weather, Sports
(NEWSER) – Jared Marcum showed up at his West Virginia middle school Thursday wearing an NRA shirt with a picture of a hunting rifle on it, and ended up getting arrested over it. He and a teacher argued over the shirt, and the 8th grader was eventually suspended, arrested, and now finds himself facing charges of obstruction and disturbing the education process, WOWK-TV reports. The 14-year-old's dad says school policy doesn't forbid images of guns on T-shirts; the dress code does prohibit clothing displaying "violence," but gun images are not listed specifically.

'1600 Penn' React: Attempting Old-School Charm in the Oval Office
We hold these truths to be self-evident: not all comedies are created equal. And four score and seven years ago (give or take a couple scores and years), Josh Gad and Jason Winer had an idea for a show about an ordinary, modern family in extraordinary circumstances. And what's more extraordinary than growing up at the most famous address in America, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, home of the White House? Not much, if you're keeping things terrestrial.
And so is the basic idea of what 1600 Penn is all about: a regular family whose father is also in the running to have his head on a coin — thanks to being the President of the United States. The family Gilchrest is an interesting clan: neither Republican or Democrat in name or actions, the focus is less West Wing and more akin to Growing Pains or a Disneyified Married… with Children. Don't expect too much of the Sorkin-defining walk-and-talk on 1600 Penn, but don't count out the heart the series carries with it, either. With a few tweaks, they might have something.
Comedy and politics seem like a natural marriage, but it's surprising how little the White House has been used in television sitcoms. Outside of the deliriously funny HBO series Veep, the higher offices are often exempt from skewering, and saved for those kooky dramatists.
The show feels out of place in the modern television landscape — a curious notion, considering Winer's previous television family was the Pritchett-Dunphy's of juggernaut Modern Family. Where Veep nails it with its combination of British-style humor and American egoism, 1600 Penn relies far more on goofy shenanigans and schtick than substance. The scandalous and taboo topics stretch as far as the decidedly un-so ones of unwed motherhood and the fleeting mention of a possible (but clearly-never-was-happening) abortion. A potential love interest for unwed single-mom-to-be, daughter Becca (Martha MacIsaac) seems to be set up with Communications Director, Marshall (Andre Holland) that feels like an attempt to elicit memories of the Charlie Young/Zoey Bartlet relationship from the latter seasons of West Wing, and also keep things semi-diverse. The Descendants' Amara Miller, the second-youngest Gilchrest child, admits feelings for a girl (the same girl her younger brother, played by the adorably precocious Benjamin Stockham, also has feelings for) in an offhanded moment over pizza. A lesbian in the White House? Surely enraging for the more conservative Americans in the bunch, no doubt, but seems to be the sort of plot point that should appear after the character is a bit more developed, rather than made her only defining characteristic from the outset. Throwing a label on a character before she's even a fully-developed character feels more like an attempt at being edgy than it does beneficial.
The brightest spot of the bunch is the delightful Jenna Elfman's step-mother and FLOTUS extraordinaire, Emily Nash Gilchrest. Emily's image in the press is that of a Trophy Wife, but all beauty and no brains she is not. As President Dale's better half, Emily was the campaign manager for Bill Pullman's character's gubernatorial bid in his homestate of Nevada years prior. But she's a neurotic people-pleaser sort — out to prove the press corp wrong, while attempting to win over the love of the general public and her four step-children. Her intentions are good and she has the charisma to carry the show in moments that would otherwise fall flat.
Take a clip seen frequently in the advertisements for the show. In it, Emily is hosting a White House event for young girls and math. After one of the kids asks Emily why her father calls the FLOTUS a trophy wife, you see the wheels turn as she's forced to keep it cool while her kneejerk reaction boils up underneath. "Trophies aren't just pretty, they denote accomplishment. Like putting yourself through law school, running a dozen successful political campaigns by the age of 40, and still managing to get to the gym three days a week. And I mean real classes, not just standing there on the elliptical. So if your dad has any further thoughts on trophies, wives, or otherwise, I think you should show him your soccer trophy and tell him to shove it up his—" It seems safe to assume that the depths and complexities of Emily Gilchrest will become a highlight of the show.
Whether the show's attempts to spin heart and values around the decidedly disheartened District is a bad thing or not certainly depends on what you're looking for going into 1600 Penn. It's a breezy sense of humor throughout the first four episodes; one that feels comfortable for those looking for entertainment that seems inoffensive enough to leave on the TV at grandma's house. However, the more cringeworthy, stereotypical jokes (the portrayal of the Latin American political contingency feels like a bunch of prattling children prone to histrionics rather than leaders of government) take so much away from the more humorous ones ("I have robots that roam the skies! Sky robots.") that live beside them.
The show has a lot to work on if it wants to capture the essence of family living in 2013. It's an odd blend of political obligations and dated tomfoolery. There's potential in places: the humor shines in its most relatable moments (Skip's relationship with Becca's baby-daddy D.B. is charming in buddy-comedy way). If they tone down the more buffoon-y moments with Skip (Think of it this way: there's a reason Kramer wasn't the central figure of Seinfeld, you guys.) and focus on the humor of modern living, the show could end up surprising us. But until then, NBC may hover over this one with a veto power of its own — and for the charming and lovely cast and creators of this show (and like our nation in general), we hope the underdog surprises us for the better.

Decent fight that. as Dino says, rushed a bit and got caught in the sub (decent sub)... got some top wins on his record and im sure hell be back.
Decent fight that. as Dino says, rushed a bit and got caught in the sub (decent sub)... got some top wins on his record and im sure hell be back.
Dino is a very good fighter. A little inconsistant but on his night he is quality. He got hit with a solid shot at the start of a fight and sat down, looked clear headed. Great win for Martin. I'm sure Dino can still get some very big wins.
I still rate this as one of my favorite scraps this year.
16-bit for life http://findingdyluck.blogspot.co.uk/
Thanks for the positive comments guys. Paul you hit the nail on the head lol, I am most definitely inconsistent. My biggest problem is regardless of how good my camp is and how good I feel during the cut and even just prior to going to the cage I still can't pin down how I'm going to react when I get in there. I was told to go forward and "just fight" Martin by my coaches as I fight best going forward and just fighting on instinct. I took the instructions on board and then proceeded to fight on the back foot whilst not throwing anything back.....puzzling. I'm obviously disappointed to get subbed as I'm a better grappler than I showed on Cage Warriors but I'll get back in the gym soon and hopefully get a win in my next fight. Lost 2 on Cage Warriors now which is annoying as it's an awesome show to fight on.
Dino, you can't explain your thought process in a fight dude, we've all been there and done EVERYTHING we were told not to do, and none of the stuff we were told to do and practiced. It happens. You've sustained some losses but to top guys, but looks at some of your wins too. Haggstrom is top 3 in Europe now and an absolute beast. When you're consistently fighting great guys it'll happen, hope to see you back at it soon.
Oh, and I think a Gambatesa vs. James fight would be awesome. Great stylistic matchup, and relevant in the rankings too. CWFC, get it on in February! I know Liam won't have meant that in a disrespectful way, just off the cuff and ddin't really think. He's a nice guy, tees up a potentially very good fight though so fuck it
Liam Bad Intentions James, pro mma uk featherweight!!

Unemployment Numbers Jump Due To California Backlog
WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people applying for
The Labor Department said Thursday that the less volatile four-week average rose 20,000 to 325,000.
The sharp increase in both the weekly figures and the four-week average comes after applications hovered near a 6-year low the previous week.
A government spokesman said that about half the weekly increase occurred in
Applications are a proxy for layoffs. Before last week, they had declined steadily over the past three months. That's a sign companies are cutting fewer workers.
"The broader picture is still that labor market conditions are improving, albeit not quite as much as we previously thought," Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics, said.
Federal workers temporarily laid off by the shutdown may also file for benefits. But their numbers are reported separately and published a week later than the other applications.
Lockheed Martin said Monday that it is furloughing about 2,400 employees. That's lower than the 3,000 employees the company initially said it would furlough because Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has recalled most of the Pentagon's civilian employees to work.
Falling applications are typically followed by more hiring. But there aren't any signs that that has happened yet. Instead, job gains have slowed in recent months.
It's not clear if hiring trends changed last month. The government was unable to issue the September employment report because of the shutdown.
However, last week payroll provider
Analysts forecast that the economy was growing slowly before the shutdown. They predict economic growth at a 1.5 percent to 2 percent annual rate from July through September. That's generally not fast enough to spur much hiring.
Many economists had forecast that growth would pick up to an annual rate of 2.5 percent to 3 percent from October through December. But the shutdown will likely shave about 0.15 percentage point from that figure for each week it lasts.

Chief Keef reportedly evicted from Chicago-area home
Listen to Chief Keef on iHeartRadio
Rapper Chief Keef will have to find a new place to live after being evicted from his Highland Park, Illinois home.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Lake County Sheriff deputies showed up at the mansion Chief Keef rented to evict the rapper.
Apparently, Chief Keef had failed to keep up with his rent payments, at one point owing about $30,000. He had agreed to pay back the full amount by April, but last month an eviction order was filed.
Chief Keef is already searching for a new home. On Instagram, he posted footage from an empty home with the caption "Lookin for Houses."
While officers on the scene confirmed the eviction, the mansion's owner, Bal K. Bansal, claims Chief Keef was not evicted. Instead, he said the move was "mutual" and that he plans to sell the home in the next few weeks. He also praised Chief Keef as a good tenant, a claim at least one neighbor disagrees with. Neighbor Ken Cooper calls Cozart's stay "horrible," adding "they were certainly not good tenants."

Page Spotlight: John Albert Amandolia
When John Albert Amandolia heard about the Georgia Senate Page Program, he knew that this was the job for him.
"It sounded like so much fun to meet all the different politicians," John said. "I couldn't wait to get in the middle of the action."
Pages spend a day working as messengers for members of the Georgia Senate during the annual legislative session. Open to Georgia students 12 years old and up, the program allows participants to get up close and personal with the legislative process.
Amandolia is an eighth grader at Lost Mountain Middle School in Kennesaw, Ga. He first heard about the page program from Representative Earl Ehrhart when the House member spoke to Amandolia's Boy Scout troop. He said the opportunity to see the inner workings of the Senate made him jump at the chance to be a page.
When he's not running messages for Senator Lindsey Tippins, Amandolia enjoys canoeing, watching "Dr. Who" and spending time with his Boy Scout troop. John has a keen interest in aviation engineering, and hopes to attend West Point one day.
"Knowing my way around the political world will help me when I pursue a career in the military," John said. "I wanted to get a jump start on my education by being a page."

- DAISY Audio - Similar to the DAISY option above; however, this option uses MP3 files created with our text-to-speech engine that utilizes Ivonas Kendra voice. This format will work with Daisy Audio compatible players such as Victor Reader Stream and Read2Go.
