Montage Series hosts international printmaking exhibition as part of citywide event
Loyola press release - February 6, 2012
Loyola University New Orleans' Montage Fine and Performing Arts Series kicks off its spring visual arts season in February with two contemporary printmaking exhibitions held simultaneously in the Collins C. Diboll Gallery. Featuring the premiere of the Southern Graphics Council International's traveling exhibition and Dirk Hagner's "Texted Haiku Broadsides," both exhibits are in conjunction with the 2012 SGCI Conference.
An opening reception will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 8 from 5 – 6 p.m. in the Diboll Gallery, located on the fourth floor of the J. Edgar and Louise S. Monroe Library. A second reception for the SGCI Conference and general public is scheduled in the gallery on Friday, March 16 from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.
SGCI is the largest print organization in North America, and its annual conference, with attendees from around the globe, is the biggest annual gathering focused on the field of printmaking. Bill Kitchens, chair of Loyola's Department of Visual Arts, will be honored at this year's conference with the SGCI Mentorship Award, a prestigious recognition by his peers for his contributions to the field of printmaking.
Hagner's work is based on the traditional broadside printing format and combines haiku with typography of early American printed announcements. He uses classic haiku, but they are "texted," or compressed, so that the actual number of words is reduced.
"Dissonant visual elements are embedded in these broadside interpretations to add some acidity to the perceived 'romantic' notion that haiku have acquired over time. This body of work is an amalgamation of Far Eastern poetic sensibilities, Western printing traditions, New World design principles and Old World social commentary," Hagner said. "The unusual combination of these different cultural traditions gives it unexpected contemporary relevance."

Replace cool-season annuals with sturdy bloomers that can take the heat; for example go with celosia, marigold, verbena, salvia, and petunia. Direct-sow cosmos, cleome, sunflowers, and zinnias right into the garden for easy-growing cut flowers.
Enjoy the pleasures of growing your own food! In your diverse region, what you plant depends on where you garden.
Low Desert: Set out seedlings of tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers. Direct sow seeds of beans, cucumbers, squash, melon, and okra.
High Desert: Sow quick-maturing radish and lettuces, or set out seedlings of broccoli, cabbage, chard, or cauliflower. Frost is still a possibility. Wait another 2-4 weeks before planting warm-season crops. Check with a garden center to confirm your local last frost date.
Check out these great salad greens you can grow yourself.
Find your average last spring frost date.
Get all the tips you need for a successful vegetalbe garden.
Continue to plant container-grown trees, shrubs, perennial herbs, groundcovers, and perennial flowers. In the desert, finish planting this month.
Test Garden Tip: Soil needs to be 60F for heat-loving crops like tomatoes and peppers. If you don't have a soil thermometer, you can tell when it's warm enough by walking on it barefoot. If you're not scampering along because of the chill, it's good to go. Soil typically reaches this temperature about two weeks after the last average frost date.
Fertilize roses, citrus trees, fuchsia, avocado trees, and irises.
Keep an eye out for iron deficiency on citrus, camellia, and gardenia. It shows as yellow leaves with green veins. Fix the problem by fertilizing with a product containing chelated iron.
If olives drop and stain surfaces, prevent fruit formation by spraying trees with a fruit-control hormone. Spray as soon as white blooms appear. Or skip the chemicals and remove the flowers with a strong blast of water from a garden hose.
Get mulch in place before summer heat arrives. Use a 3-inch layer of organic matter, like forest mulch, bark chips, or compost. Mulch helps soil retain moisture, lowers soil temperature, and, if it's organic matter, improves soil as it breaks down.
Keep up with watering. At this point in the season, it's important to pay special attention to any newly planted plants, containers, roses, and lawns. Tomatoes and globe artichokes also need consistent watering for best fruit production.
For best water use, irrigate around established plantings once the soil is dry about 6 inches below the surface. Use a screwdriver to poke a hole in soil so you can check dampness.
Consider installing a drip irrigation system for your containers. It makes watering a hands-free chore, which is a boon as temperatures climb.
Test Garden Tip: As temperatures rise, adjust irrigation timers to deliver the same amount of water more frequently. By increasing the number of days per week the system operates -- and not the number of minutes per cycle -- you'll limit runoff by delivering just the amount of water soil can absorb.
Aphids cluster on tender new growth. Knock them off with a blast of water from the hose. They're not quite bright enough to regroup and attack again -- but new generations will appear. Remain vigilant.
Continue to control snails as needed. Use pet-safe baits and hand-pick snails.
In dry conditions, spider mites flourish. Bring populations under control by spraying affected plants daily with a strong blast from the hose. Direct the spray underneath leaves. This will also reduce aphid populations.
Test Garden Tip: If you spot ants trailing up and down plant stems or trunks (like citrus trees), halt the parade with a sticky trap or surround the base of the plant with boric acid traps.
Fertilize the lawn if you didn't do so last month.
Mowing at the right height helps keep turf thick and healthy. Time mowings so you're only ever removing one-third of total blade growth. Follow this guide to mowing height.
Fine fescue: 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 inches
Kentucky bluegrass: 1 to 2-1/2 inches
Perennial ryegrass: 1 to 2-1/2 inches
Tall fescue: 1-1/2 to 3 inches

Uboot firmimg.bin ppc
The stock EM Mode on the ppc-based linkstations does not feature telnet/ftp access like the ppc based kurobox/kurobox HG. That's why a new firmimg.bin was created.
A firmimg.bin essentially is a gzipped vmlinux-kernel and a gzipped initrd merged into one new file with an additional header in front. The so called firmimgtool from http://www.geocities.jp/trstat/firmhack.html was used for disassembly and assembly of the file.
Linuxnotincluded not only ported UBoot to the ppc based Linkstations, he also ported 220.127.116.11 to the ppc linkstations. This port is also a universal one which means that the same kernel works on the LS1/HG/HS, and this was really needed as all three had used different kernels.
- 126.96.36.199 kernel in flash
- telnet-access
- ftp-access
- fdisk, chroot included
- mount_disk script added for easier mounting of the hdd partitions.
Installation from Linux
Note: You should have uBoot installed before proceeding with installing a new firmimg.bin. Failure to do so could brick your LinkStation or Kurobox.
The stock firmwares do not provide telnet/ssh access. If you have serial connection you can use it for installation, but it is much easier to use OpenLink/FreeLink as they provide telnet/ssh access.
Download this firmimg.bin and transfer it to the standard share of the Linkstation. if you do not have this share anymore, or you have a Kurobox, transfer it somewhere on the box via samba or ftp and cd into that directory instead of /mnt/share.
Note: When the raw copy data command 'dd' is issued you may find your shell/terminal window locks up. If so, just start a new one, log in, navigate back to /mnt/share or wherever and carry on with the code.
LS1, Kurobox
For LinkStation 1 / Kurobox standard run:
# cd /mnt/share/ # dd if=firmimg.bin of=/dev/fl1 bs=1k # cmp firmimg.bin /dev/fl1
HG, HS, Kurobox HG
For LinkStation HG / Kurobox HG run:
# cd /mnt/share/ # dd if=firmimg.bin of=/dev/mtdblock0 bs=1k # cmp firmimg.bin /dev/mtd0
then, when you choose to boot to EM Mode you can login via telnet and you will see this screen:
Obviously there is no root password, fdisk and chroot is included and a script was added which mounts /dev/hda1 & /mnt/hda3 to /mnt/hda1 & mnt/hda3.

He was everywhere
When RedEye asked to submit our favorite memories of Jordan, my brain went, "Hey, remember 'ProStars,' that terrible cartoon with him, Bo Jackson and Wayne Gretzky?" That's how ubiquitous MJ was when I was a kid; from basketball to clothes to Saturday morning, he was there. --Kat Velez, Aerys Sports blogger

Recently saw numerous TV interviews on the Boston Marathon bombing and various governmental reactions to it and its outcome. The interviews were on FoxNews, so you southpaws may want to read no further.
Combining the information in these interviews with other knowledge leads me to a clear picture of our relationship with Islam, and what reasonable people consider our "war on terror." Mine is quite different from that in Washington.
The federal government is responsible for national defense against attacks by outsiders, or treacherous insiders. Therefore
federal attitudes and actions determine our defensive reaction. At the top is president Obama, who enjoys wielding executive power more than any predecessor. Whatever example he sets spreads throughout the federal bureaucracy. That example is refusal to utter the word terror or condemn any radical Islamic groups of jihad. The Fort Hood massacre of four years ago has always been called "workplace violence." Thus Obama's example is adopted, political correctness becomes obligatory, and others' feelings must never be hurt.
Consider now the nature of the federal bureaucracy. Why is it that we regularly have all kinds of screw-ups by governments?
They are always reacting to screw-ups, promising to prevent recurrences, but seldom preventing the first one. I believe the reason is that in general less competent people are drawn to government employment, the kind who want to go along to get along, never "making waves," those for whom inaction is preferable to action. When screw-ups occur the guilty ones are seldom identified, never fired, occasionally transferred. The "Bengazi Bungle" illustrated this perfectly. "CYA" is universally pracrticed, and downward we go on our yellow brick road after electing the "Wizard" twice.

What about socialization? (from another angle)
Two women meet at a playground, where their children are swinging
and playing ball. The women are sitting on a bench watching.
Eventually, they begin to talk.
W1: Hi. My name is Maggie. My kids are the three in red shirts --
helps me keep track of them.
W2: (Smiles) I'm Terri. Mine are in the pink and yellow shirts. Do
you come here a lot?
W1: Usually two or three times a week, after we go to the library.
W2: Wow. Where do you find the time?
W1: We home school, so we do it during the day most of the time.
W2: Some of my neighbours home school, but I send my kids to public
W1: How do you do it?
W2: It's not easy. I go to all the PTO meetings and work with the
kids every day after school and stay real involved.
W1: But what about socialization? Aren't you worried about them
being cooped up all day with kids their own ages, never getting the
opportunity for natural relationships?
W2: Well, yes. But I work hard to balance that. They have some
friends who're home schooled, and we visit their grandparents almost
every month.
W1: Sounds like you're a very dedicated mom. But don't you worry
about all the opportunities they're missing out on? I mean they're
so isolated from real life -- how will they know what the world is
like -- what people do to make a living -- how to get along with all
different kinds of people?
W2: Oh, we discussed that at PTO, and we started a fund to bring
real people into the classrooms. Last month, we had a policeman and
a doctor come in to talk to every class. And next month, we're
having a woman from Japan and a man from Kenya come to speak.
W1: Oh, we met a man from Japan in the grocery store the other week,
and he got to talking about his childhood in Tokyo . My kids were
absolutely fascinated. We invited him to dinner and got to meet his
wife and their three children.
W2: That's nice. Hmm. Maybe we should plan some Japanese food for
the lunchroom on Multicultural Day.
W1: Maybe your Japanese guest could eat with the children.
W2: Oh, no. She's on a very tight schedule. She has two other
schools to visit that day. It's a system-wide thing we're doing.
W1: Oh, I'm sorry. Well, maybe you'll meet someone interesting in
the grocery store sometime and you'll end up having them over for
W2: I don't think so. I never talk to people in the store --
certainly not people who might not even speak my language. What if
that Japanese man hadn't spoken English?
W1: To tell you the truth, I never had time to think about it.
Before I even saw him, my six-year-old had asked him what he was
going to do with all the oranges he was buying.
W2: Your child talks to strangers?
W1: I was right there with him. He knows that as long as he's with
me, he can talk to anyone he wishes.
W2: But you're developing dangerous habits in him. My children never
talk to strangers.
W1: Not even when they're with you?
W2: They're never with me, except at home after school. So you see
why it's so important for them to understand that talking to
strangers is a big no-no.
W1: Yes, I do. But if they were with you, they could get to meet
interesting people and still be safe. They'd get a taste of the real
world, in real settings. They'd also get a real feel for how to tell
when a situation is dangerous or suspicious.
W2: They'll get that in the third and fifth grades in their health
W1: Well, I can tell you're a very caring mom. Let me give you my
number--if you ever want to talk, give me call. It was good to meet
--Author unknown

This is very funny. I think I will have a smile on my face the next time I get asked, "But, what about socialization?" from well meaning family and friends.

Frickin funny! I am laughing and thinking this is just so amazing, and so true, isn't it?? My thought really aren't too far from this home-school mama. Only I invited the Japanese family we met to come over and help us do origami!!! Love it.

Outright ban of high-capacity ammunition magazines is still governor's preference
Hartford - Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Tuesday that he supports banning the future sale and possession of high-capacity magazines with more than 10 rounds but would not support banning the possession of weapons that might be added to the list of what is considered an assault weapon.
People whose weapons are added to the list would have to pass a background check to keep them, he said to reporters on Tuesday after his monthly meeting with state agency commissioners.
One of the gun control sticking points in the state Capitol is whether to ban the possession of high-capacity magazines. A ban would mean that those who currently own high-capacity magazines would have to sell them outside of the state or have them altered to have a maximum capacity of 10 rounds.
When asked whether he would accept a grandfather clause for high-capacity magazines, as he said he could for assault weapons, Malloy said, "I am not going to change my position that a ban would be best; however, I would look at the legislation in total before I make any decision."
Malloy said there currently is no final package of gun control laws from Senate and House leadership and that he has not talked about vetoing a bill that doesn't meet particular criteria.
"I continue to believe that the ban on the possession of magazines over 10 (rounds) would be the best way to do this," Malloy said. "On the other hand, there is a legislative process."
Democrats on the legislature's Bipartisan Task Force on Gun Violence Prevention and Children's Safety put a ban on the sale and possession of high-capacity magazines in their recommendations to leadership, whereas the Republicans did not.

Now, apparently, it can be told: Kerri Walsh Jennings was diving around on the sand in London five weeks into her third pregnancy when she and Misty May-Treanor were winning their third women's Olympic beach volleyball gold medal in early August.
She and husband Casey Jennings told the NBC "Today" show and Matt Lauer all about it this morning. Looks like they had to get up a the crack of dawn to do so.
The due date for this kid is April 9. Nine months after the 2008 Bejing Games, Walsh Jennings gave birth to her first son, Joey. In 2010, Kerri had her second son, Sundance.
Walsh Jennings said she was "unreasonably moody" during the trip to London. It wasn't until May-Treanor suggested the pregancy angle that he began to enter her mind.
Walsh Jennings says she wants to play in the Rio Games in 2016.
Not that we doubted that Walsh Jennings was delivering the news for the first time today, but the fact that People Magazine's "Celebrity Babies" blogged about it (linked here) makes everything real.
It also touched off an interesting dialogue on the Today show's health blog about whether it's wise to be running, jumping and kicking up sand at any time in a pregnancy (linked here).
Walsh Jennings admitted she had a miscarriage before having her first son, and she knows the risks are greater early in the pregnancy.
Dr. Nancy Snyderman, NBC's chief medical editor, says competing at the games did not increase Walsh Jennings' risk of complications.
"The embryo is microscopic. It's just implanted in the lining of the uterus," Snyderman says. "It would take an act of God to dislodge it, not a bump on the tummy, not a dive."

Chloe (UK - BD RB)
Marcus has a short affair with Chloe and doesn't regret a single sordid moment...
Catherine (Julianne Moore) feels detached from her family. Her son, Michael (Max Thieriot), is growing up and isn't the little boy she used to be able to talk to any more, and her husband, David (Liam Neeson), seems to have more fun with his young female students than he does at home.
After checking David's phone and suspecting that he might be having an affair, Catherine hires Chloe (Amanda Seyfried), an escort who she meets by chance in a restaurant, to tempt her husband and to see how far he'd go with this young girl.
When Chloe reports back that David is more than willing to cheat on his wife, Catherine pushes Chloe to take it further and soon gets more than she bargained for out of the arrangement.
On the surface this movie has been done to death over the years. Erotic thrillers are a dime a dozen and all come with the affairs, the psycho temptress, and of course a cautionary tale to all men even tempted with cheating on their partners, but Chloe is actually quite a nice change of pace and as opposed to feeding off of the man's motivations it aims its sights at the wife's point of view.
How this plays out is actually quite interesting and made all the better with another pitch perfect Julianne Moore performance. The angle of the suspicious wife really feeds into the female perspective well and plays with the paranoia, mixed emotions and heartbreak that a potential affair stirs up, and via Amanda Seyfried's enticing yet fragile performance as Chloe I totally bought into why Julianne's character would get so pulled in by the complexity of the situation.
To go into more detail would do a disservice to the movie and even though the story's twists and turns are more than guessable from a very early stage, it's the characters motivations and reactions to the events that made Chloe a hell of a lot more enjoyable than what the majority of erotic dramas/thrillers usually muster up.
Despite lacking in the finer details, the 1:78 transfer for Chloe is a pleasant one, with deep black levels, warm lighting, and a relatively satisfying overall effect.
Skin tones and textures are a mixed bag but generally feel quite natural and there is a striking contrast between Julianne Moore's uber pale complexion and the rest of the cast's healthier glows. Julianne's freckles have never been so apparent and with her character alone you get a whole host of different striking reds, from her dark red hair, to her bold red party dress, and even her reddened eyes after the emotional trauma. She's quite the example for the HD red colour spectrum, but all colour representation here is pretty solid job.
Generally, the movie is shot to make everyone look beautiful. Lighting really brings out all of Seyfried's best attributes to make her a temptress that leaves behind the Mamma Mia sweetness and every character comes with the HD powered sparkly eyes, so all in all the transfer looks pretty good even if on closer inspection its slightly lacking the small details that would make it great.
Along with a strong presentation of the dialogue, Chloe uses its melodramatic score to keep the movie moving along and to make even the more innocent scenes feel grander than they really are. This works will within the track and the score is powerful and well layered making it a strong emotionally element of the complex story.
Along with that there's a fine use of the music choices on the soundtrack, even with a brief scene with a very natural sounding live band jamming. Chloe doesn't really push the boat out in regards to dynamics, but the presence of that score really makes this a slightly above average audio experience for this sort of thing and delivered quite a punch.
Jumping straight into the alternative endings (05:24 SD), visually nothing changes. All we get are two sets of voices overs from Julianne Moore and Amanda Seyfried that wrap up events from their own points of view.
The making of (25:41 SD) actually turns out to be a very interesting little piece. There's plenty of insight from producer Ivan Reitman and director Atom Egoyan as well as all the cast and the pacing and details covered made for a refreshing change despite every key element of a making of remaining the same.
If anyone out there is a big fan of Atom Egoyan then 'The Strange Case of Atom Egoyan' (01:25:00 SD) will be right up your street. The documentary takes a look back at the director's work with plenty of involvement form the man himself. I really like watching these sorts of things especially when I don't know the subject that well and I hadn't realised he'd directed the great Where The Truth Lies, so all in all I enjoyed my little catch up with the work of Atom Egoyan.
There are two deleted scenes (05:19 SD) which don't really add all that much more to the story. The Interviews with Atom Egoyan (22.00 SD), Amanda Seyfried (06.58 SD) and Julianne Moore (04.57 SD) are all part of press junkets and cover much the same as the previous features and finishing off there's the Trailer (01:53 HD) a photo gallery (04:02 SD), and finally a pretty simple video and audio configuration section.
Chloe ended up being a well above average erotic drama and it's in large part down to Julianne Moore's continuing ability to make most movies she's in great. The rest of the cast around her do great job too, with Seyfried leaving that girl next door sweetness at home (nudity tends to do that) and Neeson adding a bit of weight to a pretty thankless role.
The disc also ends up being a pleasant surprise with a solid A/V presentation and a nice set of extras, so all-in-all this release is well worth checking out.

Quote: On the surface this movie has been done to death over the years.
Actually, this is a remake of the Anne Fontaine directed movie Nathalie (2003), starring F***y Ardant and Emmanuelle Béart. Unfortunately for Miss Ardant, her first name is also the word that in England is vulgar slang for female genitals. Kept getting the 3 stars replacing the ANN part.

Thom's 'note' is deeply misinformed.
Adobe's been shipping a tool to create first class flash based apps for Android and iOS since June (Android since January). This includes an entire re-write of their Flex widget toolkit with touch-optimized sizing and interaction metaphors (flingable lists without scrollbars, etc...)
The flash player and AIR run time have also been updated to support touch gestures, including multi-touch.
So if you are using the Flex based Adobe toolkit, you are set. If you are using other more low level flash content creation tools, the onus is not on Adobe to produce touch friendly interfaces. They've provided the hooks to intercept touch gestures, it's up to content creators to make their UIs touch friendly with big buttons, and simplified interfaces.
I think you missed this part:
"Flash may still serve a purpose in other ways, but the Flash most of us know and hate - that's gone."

Movie Studios Blocking Special Features On Rental DVDs
In an apparent effort to give customers a reason to buy DVDs instead of renting them, movie studios have begun disabling certain features of new releases on discs rented out by Blockbuster and Netflix.
Consumerist reader Joseph brought this to our attention after he spent $3.99 to rent the DVD of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World from Blockbuster. When he went to the disc's main menu and attempted to watch the Blooper Reel special feature, he was greeted by a screen telling him: "This disc is intended for rental purposes and only includes the feature film. Own it on Blu-Ray or DVD to view these bonus features and complete your movie watching experience."
Over at HackingNetflix, they have the same report from a reader who rented the disc from Netflix. The site also claims that the Netflix version of the disc for hit Disney/Pixar film Up contains no captions for the same reason.
Let's go back to a frustrated Joseph for his final thoughts:
I didn't pay $3.99 to just watch the movie itself; I paid $3.99 to rent the physical DVD for a week. To have full access to the entire DVD and everything contained within the menus. What made it worse was that Blockbuster gave me absoutely no warning that the DVD had its Special Features locked. There was no warning label or sticker or anything of the sort.
Should rental companies be alerting customers that the special features are blocked on these discs?

Gearing up for the season's biggest game
By LUKE WILSON
I know it's a little early in the year to be talking about high school football, but it's never too early to be supportive of the DeSoto Bulldogs — ain't that right?!
This year, our boys in blue will face their old adversary, the Hardee Wildcats, in the second-to-last game of the season, and for that contest, a very special commemorative product will be distributed by not only The Arcadian, but also Hardee County's Herald Advocate. This large, handsome collector's item will be dedicated to both schools, their history, and their rivalry.

The Verse of the Day is a free service that lets you display an automatically-updating daily Bible verse on your website. This tutorial will show you how to put the Verse of the Day on your website and modify it to display the Bible version and language that you prefer. (The Gospel.com main page features a working example of the Verse of the Day if you want to see one way it can be displayed.)
Important technical note: This tutorial requires that your server be running PHP. If you aren't sure if your server is running PHP, please contact your system administrator.
This tutorial doesn't assume that you're a technical wizard, but does assume that you know a little bit about HTML and modifying your website code.
Follow the steps outlined below to put the Verse of the Day on your website:
You can download the Magpie RSS code at this site. Once you've downloaded the file, uncompress it using compression tool like 7-Zip or a similar program that can uncompress a tar.gz file.
Magpie consists of 4 files (rss_fetch.inc, rss_parser.inc, rss_cache.inc, and rss_utils.inc), and the directory extlib (which contains a modified version of the Snoopy HTTP client). Copy these 5 resources to a directory named 'magpierss' in the same directory as your PHP script.
Copy the Verse of the Day code below and paste it into the HTML of your website:
* Display Bible Gateway Verse of the Day from rss
/* include magpierss http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/ */
include 'magpierss/rss_fetch.inc';
/* version_id is the version to display. 31 is NIV.
A complete listing of versions can be found here:
$version_id = 31;
$votd_url = "http://www.biblegateway.com/usage/votd/rss/votd.rdf?$version_id";
$verse = @fetch_rss($votd_url);
if (is_array($verse)) {
$verse = $verse->items[0];
$verse_text = trim($verse['content']['encoded']);
$verse_ref = $verse['title'];
$verse_link = $verse['guid'];
else {
/* An error has occured. Handle it here. */
Important: once you've pasted the Verse of the Day code into your website, you'll need to tell it where to find the fetch_rss.inc file you dealt with in step #1 above. This means you need to change the quoted section of this line of code:
include 'magpierss/rss_fetch.inc';
Important note: while you are free to customize the Verse of the Day to display the way you'd like, you are required to leave the "Powered by BibleGateway.com" text in place.

Team Miller Captures Silver Medal
Congratulations to Team Miller on their silver medal finish at the Tim Horton's BC Senior Women's Curling Championship. Competing in Kamloops from February 22-26 against the top women's teams aged 50 and over from across the province, Team Miller came oh so close to capturing the provincial crown.
After four days of round-robin play, Team Miller - who is skip Karen Miller, third Beckie Ross, second Dianne Petrant and lead Kathy McInnes - finished in a tie for third-place. This meant that the team had a long road in front of them if they wanted to make the final. But they were undeterred.
Team Miller engineered two come-from-behind wins in back-to-back tie-breaker games on Friday and then won their semi-final game on Saturday morning. This meant that they would conclude a marathon of five 10-end curling games in 30 hours by playing the championship match against Team Noble from Qualicum. The final was a close affair that eventually saw Team Miller be run out of rocks in the 10th end.
Congratulations to Team Miller for a fabulous run through both the regional playdowns (where they went undefeated and won the event) and the provincial championships!
Complete game summaries and scores for all of Team Miller's games at the Tim Horton's BC Senior Women's Curling Championship can be found at playdowns.com.

The caching is good! Yesterday we did a virtual that was the summit of Wasson Peak. It was a 4-mile hike each way. I don't have my PDA with me so I don't remember the name. I'm planning to long them when we get home. Today we drove to Nogales. I had hoped to bag a cache in Mexico, but there were none within walking distance of the border, and we were advised not to drive across the border because our car was likely to be broken into on the other side.

NORTH MANCHESTER, IND. – In a wild Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference clash that saw the lead change hands six times, visiting Rose-Hulman reeled off a 17-point run late in the third period and throughout the fourth period to hold off Manchester University 44-30 Saturday, Sept. 28.
The Spartans, dropping to 0-4 overall and 0-2 in league play, rolled up 328 yards of offense. Senior quarterback Nick Williams (Fort Wayne, Ind.) topped the home team's individual marks, throwing for 148 and rushing for just under 100 (96) yards. Junior wide receiver Collin Huffine (Centerville, Ind.) and freshman wide receiver Dakota Nelson (Fairfield, Ind.) shared the Black and Gold receptions' lead with five each.
MU got out to another quick start at Carl W. Burt Memorial Field, posting a pair of first half touchdowns. Williams scampered around left end for an 11-yard scoring run midway through the first period, giving the Spartans a 6-0 edge. He then came back, after Rose-Hulman closed the first quarter with a scoring drive of its own, and hit junior fullback Michael Love (Bloomfield, Ind.) with a 24-yard touchdown pass down the seam for a 13-7 advantage early in the second period. From that point, the Fightin' Engineers tallied the final 13 points of the half, behind a 76-yard march to paydirt and a fumbled punt in the end zone, to lead 20-13 at halftime.
The second half saw more of the same. Rose-Hulman senior quarterback Ryan Landwehr, as part of a 20-of-33 passing effort for 298 yards and three touchdowns, hit on two scoring strikes in the third quarter, while MU freshman kicker Riley Ellington (Indianapolis, Ind.) converted a 32-yard field goal, and junior running back Austin Adams (Dowagiac, Mich.) beat the R-H defense to the pylon on a nine-yard touchdown run making the count 34-30 in favor of the visitors after three stanzas.
Trailing 37-30 after the Fightin' Engineers hit a field goal early in the final frame, a fumbled punt in Rose-Hulman territory, recovered by junior running back and special teams' player Alex Stock (Indianapolis, Ind.) at the 38, brought the home crowd to life in the final 10 minutes. However, continuing the theme of equaling the Spartans, Rose-Hulman picked off an errant aerial on MU's first play from scrimmage. The visitors added a late-game scoring drive of 59 yards with just over a minute and a half left to put the game out of reach.
Manchester University continues the 2013 HCAC campaign with Bluffton University of Ohio's trip to North Manchester for Homecoming 2013 Saturday, Oct. 5.
NOTES: Despite a 470-yard output by Rose-Hulman, the Black and Gold defense was active with the fumble recovery and six pass break-ups during the afternoon … Senior linebacker Dylin Kennedy (North Manchester, Ind.), resuming an impressive year, registered a unit-best eight tackles. Junior linebacker Evan West (Hartford City, Ind.) and senior linebacker Zach Dashner (South Bend, Ind.) were close behind with 7.5 and seven tackles, respectively.

'Top secret' is the new 'secret'
In the sprawling national intelligence community where nearly 5 million Americans have security clearances, more and more information is being classified, creating an even more massive secrecy bureaucracy.
Experts say the tendency to err on the side of classification is watering down the definition of "secret," leading to more people needing security clearances to do even non-sensitive government jobs and meaning that true secrets could potentially be accessed by more people.
Story Continued Below
Enter Edward Snowden: The former Booz Allen Hamilton contractor who used his security clearance to access and leak details of a controversial National Security Agency phone and Internet tracking programs. Though leaks like these are the exception, experts say Snowden showed the weaknesses of a ballooning national security structure that has no incentive to shrink.
( Also on POLITICO: Holder: Leaks 'damaged' security)
"There is a sense of felt urgency to protect secrets. There's no particular urgency to declassify or disclose them. As a result, there's a tendency toward bloat," said Steven Aftergood, who runs the Federation of American Scientists' Project on Government Secrecy. "There's a kind of inflationary principle at work, where classification markings can diminish in value."
Classifying more documents means more security clearances are handed out, compounding the problem, said Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the Brennan Center for Justice's Liberty and National Security Program at New York University's School of Law.
"There's no denying it, the numbers speak for themselves. Five million people — that's one in every 50 American adults — have clearance," Goitein said. "It's very pervasive. Over-classification results in over-clearance, essentially: Too many people needing clearance for jobs that are relatively low-level and non-sensitive in nature."
( PHOTOS: 10 famous/infamous whistleblowers)
Government and contract employees know the stories well: An FBI mail-worker who needs clearance just to hand out correspondence, promises by potential employers that getting a secret clearance for a job-seeker won't take more than a few weeks — and sponsorship for higher clearance levels handed out as job perks for those who may not actually need them on a day-to-day basis.
"It is absolutely the case that over-classification leads to the delegitimizing of our legitimate secrets," said Angela Canterbury, director of public policy for the nonprofit Project on Government Oversight. "This leads to a proliferation of security clearances, because so much of the information is classified."
There are two types of possible errors when making a decision whether a document should be classified: "false alarms," or classifying something that shouldn't have been classified, or "missed targets," not classifying a piece of information that someone later believes should have been classified.
"From a personal perspective, the cost of not classifying something that someone else later believes should have been classified — whether that person's right or wrong — is very high," said Martin Hellman, a cryptologist and Stanford University professor. "The general rule is: If in doubt, classify it."
President Barack Obama came into office pledging to increase government transparency, and some progress has been made. In December 2009, he signed an executive order, calling for a review of the classification process.
( POLITICO Junkies: NSA leaks cause flood of political problems)
And a congressionally established Public Interest Declassification Board submitted recommendations to him last December.
Those recommendations, including the creation of a senior-level White House-led steering committee to develop an implementation strategy for reforms, are being reviewed by the White House, National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden told POLITICO Thursday.
The Snowden leak won't necessarily change anything for the in-progress review, she suggested.
"Options for the creation of a senior level group are currently being considered," Hayden said. "Our review will take into account a number of factors on the complex topic of classification, not just recent current events."
In May, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), an outspoken critic of over-classification, urged the White House to establish a steering committee to start the reform process.
"Our current classification system is outdated and needs to be reformed. … We're currently classifying too much information at the expense of transparency and taxpayer dollars," she said.

Ammo selection.. Help please
Hi all,
I have a 9mm SIG. This is my first gun. When I go to a gun shop to pick ammo, I really have no idea. They all look the same to me except the price. Does anybody know where I can learn ammo selection on internet? How do I pick up this knowledge?

Congrats on picking up a nice new 9mm Sig. It should provide you with many years of fun.
First you need to decide what the purpose of the shooting is for. Is it just for target plinking or self defense? If for self-defense this will help you buy practice ammo which is the same weight as your defensive ammo so it should have somewhat similar function. You usually have three weights of bullets to choose from, 115 grain, 124 grain and 147 grain. While many like the lighter or heavier bullets I favor the 124 grain bullets, a good compromise of speed and weight. The 9mm ammo should be labeled 9X19mm or 9mm Luger or 9mm Parabellum (all the same stuff) with the bullet weight listed.
Next check with the range you are going to train at. Some ranges limit the ammo to brass cased ammo (the most common) and may not let you shoot aluminum cased or steel cased ammo. This will help you narrow down what ammo you need to buy. For practice you want FMJ (full metal jacketed) ammo and not hollow points.
And now for the important part- pick out the cheapest and largest 9mm boxes of ammo you can find (find out what's on sale). The 9mm comes in different size boxes- 20 rounds (usually expensive hollow point ammo), and 50,100,250 and even 1000 round boxes. My Sigs and other pistols will take almost any brand of ammo and shoot it well. Examples are- Federal, Winchester, Remington, Remington UMC, PMC, Blazer (aluminum cases), Speer, Magtech, Fiocchi, and Sellier & Bellot. I haven't tried the steel cased ammo- usually Wolf and Tula.
So if it was me I'd drive to my nearest superstore (Walmart, Kmart,etc) and get a bunch of cheap 9mm full-metal-jacket 124 grain brass cased ammo and go shooting. Good luck and have fun.
best wishes- oldandslow

What I suggest to get a better grasp on what does what, is to get on Youtube and look at people shooting different ammo. I do this to find different home defense rounds for better prices. Then just look around to get the feel of the prices.

There are over a dozen of ammo types for 9mm that are readily available for purchase.
Most common are 100ish, 115ish, 120ish, 120ish +P/NATO, and 147 subsonic both in FMJ and JHP variants.
You have tradeoffs between recoil, penetration, and bullet velocity.
115 and smaller are either target rounds or for small pistols to reduce recoil. I'd probably load a 9mm subcompact with lighter rounds.
147 is a heavier subsonic round that is claimed to have stopping power for defense and is used by some LE agencies.
124-126 is somewhere in the middle, and the +P is a overpressure variant which is a very powerful load--which in a JHP arguably can make the best defense ammo. It also can wear out pistol components quickly.
Buy a box of each, take them to the range, and see what you like. Most people will target shoot 115, because it's cheap and has very minimal recoil. Most larger guns with stiff recoil springs won't cycle 100 grain reliably.

When you're shooting at a range...practicing...
buy either 115 gr or 124 gr ..../ make sure you follow the rules for the range ( most won't allow any steel or aluminum cases ) ...some won't allow lead bullets...you have to shoot jacketed or plated bullets...
At my local range....the practice ammo ...is the cheaper stuff ( although nothing is cheap these days in terms of ammo ) but I've noticed lately its been Federal ammo in a white box, or S&B....for the least expensive.
Picking ammo is all about the size or grain of the bullet - and the velocity ...but in 9mm 115gr or 124gr are by far the most common choices. Every caliber is a little different....
most of the other stuff ..147gr, etc ...is more specialized defense ammo ...don't let someone talk you into shooting that stuff at the range for practice.

Thanks for the recommendation!
I actually just want to shoot for fun in a range. So velocity and penetrate is not my concerned.
But what is 9X19mm or 9mm Luger or 9mm Parabellum? And how does the material of the case matter?
Thank you as always...

For general range shooting I have found Winchester USA bulk (100 rounds) to be acceptable. Also referred to here as WWB, or Winchester White Box. Full Metal Jacket, or FMJ as it is known is perfect for range use. You don't need to spend the extra money for hollow point ammo for range ammo. Some consider steel case ammo, referring to the casing itself, not the bullet jacket to be detrimental to the extractor on a gun. The steel that the case is made from is much softer than that of the extractor, and shouldn't cause a problem. However, my experience with the cheap steel case ammo is that it just isn't as good of quality all around with many malfunctions being experienced. Others may have a different opinion.
You may find that different bullet weights and designs may work better than others in accuracy, and function. So try several to see what your Sig likes. Guns do have preferences on ammo sometimes.
Also, for range use there is no reason for ammo marked +P which is loaded to pressure levels above that of the standard for certain calibers. If you do decide to use your pistol for home defense, or CCW you will need to practice with what ever defensive ammo you chose to use for that purpose.

some ranges sell used brass...and they don't want any aluminum or steel cases mixed in.
Some steel case ammo - has bullets that may penetrate beyond what their back stop is intended to stop. Some of this stuff is coming in from eastern europe / or might be old military inventory ...or whatever...
Lead bullets....smoke a lot more / most indoor ranges won't let you shoot lead bullets / or ammo that is not jacketed.

I personally don't mess with steel or aluminum case ammo, it's not worth feeding headaches to save 70 cents on a box of ammo.

Fortunately, the SIG will eat any ammo suitable for SD. Just gotta decide what kind you want.

So in summary, should I pick
1. one box for each weight. 115 grain, 124 grain and 147 grain.
2. Make sure they all FMJ
3. Doesn't matter whether they are 9X19mm or 9mm Luger or 9mm Parabellum?
4. If I am bored with 147 grain, try +P or +P+?

When people talk about 9mm, most of the time they are talking about the standard NATO 9mm pistol round. As it is the most common 9mm caliber round.
9x19mm is the metric standard designation. The first number is the caliber/diameter of the bullet in mm and the second number is the length of the cartridge case in mm.
9mm Luger is another name for it. Because one of the first and most popular pistols chambered for it was the German Luger pistol.
9mm Parabellum was the original designation for the round. Parabellum is Latin and translates to "For War"
9mm NATO may be used as well... but be careful. Ammo marked NATO and also marked with the NATO stamp on the cartridge case is actual military issue/surplus... they tend to be higher pressure or more powerful... this is doubly true for ammo designed for machine gun use, as it is loaded to even higher pressures and power. As a new shooter, stay away from ammo marked "NATO" or any ammo that has a small circle with a cross in it stamped on the bottom of the round/casing. If the box it comes in is marked NATO and generic looking, it is possible true NATO military rounds. If it is in a retail box and does not have the NATO head stamp you are fine. (the stamp on bottom of the case is called the head stamp) Winchester Ranger is an example of NATO stamped ammo that is not military issue.
Notice the case on the right... the circle and cross is the NATO head stamp used on military rounds.
DO NOT use any other ammo in your pistol... the names listed are it... no others.
There are Other 9mm caliber rounds that can be called 9mm... and should not be used in your pistol. I will list them here so you do not use them by mistake.
9x18mm or 9mm Makarov... are the same round. It is a Russian designed round. The Makarov pistol was the pistol designed to shoot this round, hence the name.
9x17mm is the metric designation for the .380acp round... also called .380 Auto, 9mm Browning, 9mm Corto, 9mm Kurz, 9mm Short.
There are actually more... but they will not fit into the chamber of the pistol, and are less common, so you should be fine.
For general plinking and range shooting... the 115gr FMJ is the most common and generally cheapest. $10-15 per 50rd box depending on brand and where you shop. For fun, the cheap stuff is fine... experienced shooters can notice accuracy differences between brands and bullet weights, but new and average shooters will not. You do not NEED to use other weight rounds unless you want to...
Hollow Points are for defese use... not target shooting... but if you are using the pistol for defense in the home, you should shoot a few boxes of the brand hollow points you plan to use. This is to make sure they are reliable in the pistol. They are not all the same in design/shape, so they do not feed the same. The Sig should feed most if not all without issue, but test your chosen brand any way.
+P is a designation that means the rounds are loaded to higher pressures and power than the original standards. It is an officially recognized specification that has a min/max pressure rating.
+P+ is a designation that usually means it is loaded to pressures higher than even +P... but it IS NOT an officially recognized standard... some use them... I do not. Its not an official thing, so I don't risk it.
Not all pistols can shoot +p and +P+... the instruction manual will tell you if it is ok or not. Regardless of whether or not the manual gives the ok... +P and +P+ will cause more wear and stress on the pistol and its parts than normal ammo... so shooting a lot of them is discouraged.
115gr refers to the wieght of the bullet/projectile measured in grains... Grains are very small units, there are 7000 grains in a pound, or 15.43 grains per gram.
Bullets are usually lead surrounded by a jacket of copper... this is almost always true... Though you can get rounds that are pure lead with no jacket. 9mm lead rounds are not common in the retail market. There is also a pure copper round, but it is a very light round and is a specialty hollow point design. Some manufactures also make lead free "clean" rounds for use in ranges that do not allow lead... they tend to be expensive.
The case that holds the bullet, powder, and primer is usually made of brass... You can find ammo with aluminum cases. They tend to be cheaper than brass cased...
There is also ammo that has steel case. It is a mild/soft steel, it is usually the cheapest you can buy. It is made in Russia mostly, and can be less reliable. Mostly because of hard primers that do not like to fire in some pistols... and quality control and consistent manufacture are the other common things people complain about. New manufacture Wolf brand steel cased seems to be the best of the steel, followed by the Silver bear... then Brown Bear, then lastly Tula... New Wolf and Silver Bear use steel that has a thin polymer coating that aids in reliability... the others use a Lacquer that can be uneven and even melt in a hot barrel.
I hope that answered some questions.

US or overseas....
Are you in the USA or overseas?
If you are in the US & want to buy new 9x19mm rounds for your SIG pistol, I'd suggest these popular sites; www.sgammo.com www.natchezss.com www.midwayusa.com www.shopcorbon.com www.cheaperthandirt.com www.cabelas.com .
For defense or protection use(concealed carry) only use new/factory made 9mm ammunition. No hand loaded or reloaded pistol rounds. In a defense or lethal force event you may be required to explain your actions to law enforcement or in court.
For regular practice or target shooting, there are a few decent, low cost brands to use; CCI, PMC, Winchester white box, American Eagle, Hornady.
For protection-carry use, I'd check out; Ranger T 124gr +P JHP bonded, Ranger T 127gr +P+ JHP, Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P, Corbon DPX, PowRball 9mm, Hornady Critical Duty +P 135gr, Golden Saber bonded +P 124gr JHP.
Some 9mm shooters like the frangible MagSafe SWAT & Glaser Safety Slug loads too.
For duty or concealed uses, I carry JHP rounds in my main 9mm magazine with factory new FMJ(milspec ball) type ammunition in spare magazines. I like knowing if I need back-up magazines I won't need to worry about feeding-cycle problems or malfunctions in a critical incident. A FMJ round may work better than some JHPs against wood, steel, glass, etc in a extended shoot-out with a armed subject. Hollowpoints or frangible rounds are ideal but FMJs are good also.
Keep you ammunition clean & check it often. Dirt, grit, crud, moisture, etc can cause damage. You wouldn't want to deal with it in a gunfight.

Good Read
Hello all, I am a new member here and wish I would have come here sooner. There is always great debate over 9mm and 45 ACP. Truth is, new advances in 9mm ammunition have closed the gap between the two considerably, to the point where the 9mm may be the better option for most. Here is a link I ran across that does a pretty good job explaining the different, and preferred, defense ammunition. This article covers everything from 22LR on up. It's worth the read.

Great discussion of 9 mm rounds
OldnSlo and others-
That was very helpful. Could someone comment specifically on Speer Lawman
9 mm JHP? It's easy to find on line and cost about $0.02/round. For comparison, how does this round compare with others on the list in terms of being dirty, or other issues. . . Are all of the listed rounds comparable comparable? Is price the only consideration among the listed rounds? What do you consider the best online source.

Oops, that's $0.22/round.

Speer/CCI is generally considered very good ammo. If you just plan to punch holes in paper and tin cans, no need for JHP. FMJ is usually cheaper.
Remember, that .22/rd jumps up considerably when shipping is factored in.

That's a very old article that is simply no longer valid. Self-defense ammunition has gone through tremendous improvements since that was written.

All good advice. I am of the opinion that if you buy premium ammo from any of the big makers, you have picked decent ammo that will serve you well. Federal, Winchester, Speer, Hornady etc.
If there was a single round, really better than ll the others, everyone would be carrying that same round, but, they don't. Some like Winchester 115 GR. Some CCI 124. Some like +P etc.
If there is a Police Supply near you, you may try and make friends there, they usually have the 50 round boxes of premium ammo much cheaper than the boutique 20 round boxes that gun stores sell. Or, order online.
To simplify your life, Speer makes the Lawman family of ammo for practice and, then the Gold Dots for duty. Ballsitically pretty close, one full metal jacketed and the other, arguably, one of the best defensive rounds available.
The NYPD is liklely the largest LE agency around that uses 9mm. They use the 124 GR +P Gold Dot and seem plenty happy with it.
Don't overthink it. ANY of the major manufacturers will make decent practice ball ammo (ball=full metal jacket) (115-124 gr) Find the one on sale and buy a bunch. When you shoot all that up and, find that another brand is on sale, buy a case of it. Your Sig (239-228-229-226?) Should eat them all without a hitch.
Don't be shy about shooting +P in a Sig. I honestly believe you will get bored shooting it or, run out of money before you wear it out.

@ Cheapshooter: I think you forgot 9x21MM IMI
I had the same talk with my wife when she was first getting into guns; 9MM seems to be one of the most confusing pistol calibers for new shooters simply because as you pointed out there are at least 4 or 5 common non interchangeable calibers out there that might just be called "9mm"
I don't see where the OP listed exactly what 9MM SIG he has; I can only speak to what I have experience with the P226, P229 and P239. Firstly the SIG "Classic" series of pistols (P226, P229 , P239 etc) is good to go with both standard and +P ammo. I have never used +P+ ammo and have no desire to start.
As for range ammo just about any brand is good to go. Some brands you will find shoot better than others, lots of people like to avoid steel cased ammo and certain brands of ammo because it is corrosive. I use Seller & Beloit, Federal or Winchester mostly.
As far as self defense ammo (hollow points) I have yet to find a brand of ammunition that does not feed well consistently with my 9MM P226 or P229.
With any new gun it is good to try different brands of ammo to rule out any issues with one particular brand of ammo.
I have not had any consistent problem with any brand of ammo. I prefer 147gr and 124 gr +P gold dots, golden sabers and 135gr Hyrda-Shock.
If you are looking for value; you can find 50 round "Law Enforcement" boxes of Gold Dot's for about $30.00/box online.

The FAQ on Sig's site, that I read when I got my Sig 1911 says +P is fine for SD, or RARE range use, but a steady diet will wear it out quicker. +P+ is not approved, and may (Read WILL) void your warranty.
For range ammo, I've found it's usualy best to hit a Walmart. Luckily in 9mm they seem to always have some, I'm not sure if that means 9mm is so cheap everywhere they don't sell out at Walmart like they do with my .45 or if they just order more of it and keep it in stock. I wouldn't ever buy my .45 at the local range if I can help it. I get 100 Federal rounds from Walmart for $30. 50 rounds of American Eagle (Still Federal, probably not quite the same ammo but close) is $26 at the range. The WWB is $40 for 100 at Walmart... No direct brand comparison at the range, but between 21-26 is what they sell for at the range. If you watch Cabelas/Sportco/etc type stores, they will rarely have sales, though it's more common on .40 and 9mm it seems. I did see Magtech .45 at 16.XX 47? 87? a box of 50 is coming up at one of them as a holiday special.

New page for this blog: Faces of Genealogy
When I saw the outpouring of photographs and articles on this topic, I felt so very proud of all of us who are members of the GeneaBloggers community. Personally, this exercise was very meaningful, because it meant I took the time to go through all of the images I have in order to look for that defining one which is, for me, "The Face of Genealogy". Ultimately I ended up publishing a grouping of photographs which I thought fit the bill.
In light of the fact that doing this meant so much to me, I have decided to create another page for this blog. On this page, which is entitled "Faces of Genealogy", I have published photographs which are especially meaningful to me. I hope that you will enjoy viewing them as much as I do. As I have stated at the top of the new page, "These are the faces of some of my family members. These are the faces of some of those who have inspired me, driven me to do research, and haunted my dreams. These are the faces of my family history and genealogy."

Binge Eating? 8 Tips to Help You Stop
In the past three months, you have binged on food at least 12 times. You hate that you do it and always feel guilty after, but something inside you compels you to do this (A binge is when you consume a lot of food in a short period of time). Well, you are not alone. About 3% of the US population does this, and qualifies for the diagnosis of Binge Eating Disorder (BED). And according to the The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, as many as half of all binge eating patients have a history of depression! Here is why: When you binge eat, you gain weight. So you feel out of control with your eating, you gain weight and get depressed over your body shape and weight. Then you binge again and feel even worse, heightening the depressed feelings. It's a bit of a vicious cycle. And for some people, depression led them to binge eat in the first place. Here are helpful tips to help stop those binges.

The Bears reached the playoffs last season by winning games that they appeared to have lost, by making that one play or two at precisely the critical moment of those games. This season they are on course to miss the playoffs because they suddenly cannot make those plays and are losing very winnable games.
They fell to 2-2 with Sunday's 33-27 overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills (2-2). And for the second time in as many weeks, they gave up points in the final minutes and failed to score when they had opportunities.
Before a crowd of 72,780, the offense couldn't stay on the field and keep the Buffalo offense and quarterback Drew Bledsoe off of it. Facing the NFL's No. 28-ranked rushing defense, the Bears couldn't run. Anthony Thomas carried 23 times for only 48 yards.
The defense, which yielded 410 yards, most since Cleveland's 413 last November, couldn't make the offense's points stand up.
"We put the onus on ourselves," said quarterback Jim Miller, who saw the Bears lose a second straight game for the first time with him as their starter. "We aren't going to point the finger at anybody. It's just pointing the thumb back at ourselves."
The loss follows the defeat by the New Orleans Saints last week and marked the first time since 2000 that the Bears did not follow a loss with a victory.
They had a chance to win. After James Williams deflected an attempted field goal with 32 seconds remaining to set up the overtime, the Bears won the coin flip and got the ball to start the overtime.
They managed only three plays before Brad Maynard's 31-yard punt gave the ball to the Bills at the Buffalo 44. From there Bledsoe, who completed 28-of-36 passes for 328 yards and four touchdowns, went to Pro Bowl wide receiver Eric Moulds, who took the ball over the hands of cornerback Todd McMillon for a 30-yard gain.
Then Bledsoe rolled to his right away from pressure, escaped being sacked by defensive end Alex Brown and flipped a pass to running back Travis Henry, who evaded tackle attempts by Reggie Austin and Jerry Azumah and scored standing up. It was the fourth overtime TD pass of Bledsoe's career, breaking an NFL record he previously shared with Pittsburgh's Terry Bradshaw.
Last year the Bears were winning overtime games with little details that turned into big plays. This year
"We have to make sure we take care of the details," said linebacker Rosevelt Colvin, who had two sacks to run his team-leading total to six. "If the offense puts up 10 points, we should hold [opponents] to nine. That's the difference between us this year and us last year. We are not taking care of the details. We aren't winning those close ballgames by two, three or four points."
The Bears missed their shot at a go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter when Jim Miller, who completed 19-of-31 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns, threw to David Terrell along the left edge of the end zone. But Terrell managed to get only one foot down inbounds. Officials initially signaled touchdown, then reversed the call after an instant-replay review. Paul Edinger then kicked the Bears into a tie at 20-20 with a 24-yard field goal.
Terrell thought he had been pushed out of bounds. If the officials had agreed, it would have been a touchdown.
"I don't say anything about the officials," center Olin Kreutz said. "We all made mistakes. If we don't make mistakes, we win."
The Bears were trampled early as the Bills gained 126 yards on the game's first 15 plays and went on drives of 75, 51, 41 and 76 yards the first four times they had the ball.
Each of the possessions ended in points.
The Bills scored a touchdown on the opening drive. Then the Bears scored a tying TD when Henry fumbled, Colvin picked up the loose ball and lateraled to Mike Brown after running 8 yards, and Brown covered the next 62 to even the score.
For Brown it was the third return for a touchdown in the last 15 games, beginning with his two overtime scores with tipped passes last season. And it was Henry's fourth fumble in four games this season, the last two returned for touchdowns.
The Bills then drove 10 plays to set up a Mike Hollis field goal from 48 yards. Bledsoe finished the fourth Buffalo possession with a 4-yard scoring pass to Moulds that put the Bills up 17-7.
But Miller completed 5-of-6 passes in a four-minute drive that ended with a 5-yard scoring pass to Terrell, who caught his third TD of the season under tight coverage at the goal line to bring the Bears back to 17-14 in a first half in which the Bears were outgained 222-87.
Buffalo scored on a 49-yard Hollis field goal on their first drive of the second half. Edinger converted from 46 yards in the third quarter and 24 yards in the fourth to tie the score. Buffalo answered with a 1-yard TD pass from Bledsoe to tight end Dave Moore before Miller directed the Bears' longest drive of the game (74 yards) that tied the score at 27-27 with a 3-yard touchdown pass to tight end John Davis, his first as a Bear, with less than three minutes left in regulation.
"It's disappointing," coach Dick Jauron said. "We end the first quarter of the season at 2-2 and start getting ready for Monday night (Oct. 7 vs. Green Bay). That's all we can do."
