It is important to honor the will of the voters in this last election. Through the election of Cary Wiest and Elizabeth Lewis, the last place finish of McKeithen henchwoman Denise Kuupperman, and the resounding defeat of the library in the park, the voters have spoken clearly. They want the Atherton Police Department to continue on and to do so in an environment in which it is not being continuously attacked by McKeithen and her cronies.
The amount damage done to the Police Department by McKeithen and WMD has been tremendous. The officers have been subject to continuous attacks on their professionalism as well as their compensation. Atherton residents decided long ago that the department should be at least at the 70th percentile of compensation compared to surrounding neighborhoods to attract and retain quality officers. Right now the effect of McKeithen's war against the Police Department, it is more like the 30th percentile. Most residents would clearly support increasing the retention program to the 90th percentile so we can continue to enjoy what Malcolm Dudley said makes Atherton special, its employees, and especially the Police Department.
The following actions need to be taken quickly by the new council to restore morale of the officers and make sure we don't lose officers (which costs the town much more money than the nickel and diming that has gone on under WMD).
1. This is easy. Restore the water and coffee. It was a mean-spirited move by WMD to remove this, but it costs next to nothing.
2. Make sure officer compensation remains competitive. This will involve INCREASING compensation to avoid losing officers to other agencies. Atherton residents spoke loudly in this last election. They want the parcel tax to continue, and small increases in the parcel tax (which has never been increased to keep up with inflation) will enable Atherton to keep its police compensation competitive and avoid losing officers. Atherton residents as well as San Mateo County residents have consistently recognized and approved that taxes must go up with inflation to continue to get quality public safety. The notion of WMD that police compensation can decrease and the parcel tax can go away, and Atherton keeps a quality Police Department, is a fantasy designed to outsource. This is what residents don't want.
3. WMD made sure Atherton no longer has a dispatch supervisor. Atherton residents want a dispatch center that is well-managed so when they call into the Police Department, they get a quality response. The former supervisor John Mattes should be restored to his position with back pay. This was a McKeithen-sponsored vendetta that should be rescinded.
4. Internal promotion to chief. How can Atherton possibly attract quality officers when the message is you will not get promotion opportunities? Atherton has traditionally recruited chiefs from within the department and it should stay that way to motivate the officers to perform their best. How ironic that the "business people" like Dobbie who believe in a capitalist work for reward system would be in favor of recruiting from outside to demoralize and demotivate.
5. Restore the number of officers needed for the Atherton Police Department to function properly. There needs to be a minimum number of officers just for officer safety to be assured on shifts. This has been another short-sighted decision by WMD. Atherton residents want their Police Department and that means a functional Police Department, not one financed by a shoe string.
With these measures taken, the damage done by McKeithen and WMD over the course of years can start to be addressed. Hopefully the new council will be treating the Police Department and officers respectfully instead of as adversaries like McKeithen did.

A few notes to get you through the morning and into your Saturday.
*Landon Donovan appeared on ESPN's College Gameday on Saturday serving as the "celebrity picker" for Saturday's College Football slate. The LA Galaxy captain revealed that he would have attended UCLA had he not signed for German club Bayer Leverkusen at age 16. During his picks, Donovan selected No. 1 ranked Notre Dame over USC -- a selection that he admits was influenced by Mike Magee -- and No. 8 Stanford over No. 17 UCLA.
*There are still two more days to vote for Marcelo Sarvas, who is in the quarterfinals of FutbolMLS.com's Latino del Año 2012 (Latino of the Year). The semifinalists will be announced on Monday.
*Across the hall at The Home Depot Center, Chivas USA's Juan Agudelo is making a good impression during his training stint with Scottish club Celtic. Could it lead to an extended training stint or perhaps a transfer?
*Voting has begun for the final round of MLSsoccer.com's Goal of the Year and Save of the Year. No LA Galaxy goals or saves made it to the final round.
*Lastly, a programming note, I'll be on Philadelphia's 860AM "Vuvuzela-blast" radio show at 1 p.m. PT talking MLS Cup and David Beckham. Be sure to listen along.

New-look Angels will offer contract to Morales
Recovering slugger could offer lineup protection for Pujols
By Alden Gonzalez / MLB.com
Sometimes -- though rarely -- players aren't tendered contracts by their teams because they don't think they're worth the raises they receive during their arbitration years. Morales' inactivity the last 1 1/2 seasons made him appear to be a non-tender candidate, but Dipoto said the Angels "absolutely expect to tender Kendrys Morales."
After finishing fifth in voting for the American League's Most Valuable Player Award in 2009, Morales missed nearly two full seasons after sustaining a broken lower left leg. A lot is still unknown about Morales' status for 2012, regarding his health -- he'll still need to prove he can run at full speed in Spring Training -- and whether or not he'll remain with the team.
But the Angels will at least keep their options open.
And when asked about plans for a cleanup hitter behind Pujols, manager Mike Scioscia went directly to his switch-hitter, who's entering his second year of arbitration after making $2.975 million in '11.
"The one thing that sets us up really well is if Kendrys Morales is coming back; just his presence, being from the left side," Scioscia said. "Right now, a player like Albert, there's really only one way to protect him. One is get guys on base in front of him, and the other is have some depth behind him that will take advantage when they walk him, or he gets on base a lot, too. So I think we're going to get guys in front that, hopefully, are not going to set the table, but be able to run and get in scoring position and do things that you want for the middle of your lineup."
Pujols' acquisition creates a logjam at first base, where Morales and Mark Trumbo also reside, and leaves a lot of questions as to how Dipoto will open up some playing time on the roster.
Saturday, however, wasn't a day to worry about those things.
"There's always work to be done. But I'll tell you, the way I feel about the roster is, I feel like we're in a better position today than we were in yesterday," Dipoto said. "Very excited. Very excited."

Looking at a k100s 1989 with low miles. The ABS brakes not working, can they be rebuilt? Some have suggested to remove them reducing weight while using disc brakes. I prefer to keep it original with ABS brakes.
Looking at a k100s 1989 with low miles. The ABS brakes not working, can they be rebuilt? Some have suggested to remove them reducing weight while using disc brakes. I prefer to keep it original with ABS brakes.
Current Ride: 1995 K75 Standard
Past: 1978 Yamaha XS 750, 1976 BMW R60/6
How are they not working? Flashing lights, can't be reset, not stopping?
Competent dealer changed all the fluids and reset the system?

'68 R60/2 '88 K100RS Special Edition
as beemerguru implied, there are multiple reasons why the ABS is malfunctioning. (thus, the question about what the lights are doing, as they give a clue as to the cause).
this can be anything from it needing a new battery (a relatively cheap and very predictable expense), to a failed ABS pump/controller (probably cost as much as the bike is worth, especially if repaired at a dealership), and likely a few other possibilities in between.
if you can't assess the reason why the ABS is out, and you don't have anyone that can do that assessment for you- think of the bike as a non-ABS model that is going to require some heavy parts to be removed and replumbed. now... do you still want that bike? otherwise, you could be in for a cheap repair (~$100) or a very expensive one (meaning north of $2000)- with no way to figure out in advance which it is.
you did mean K100RS, correct? (BMW never made a K100S model).
Ride Safe, Ride Lots
If it's something like a low voltage scenario all you need is a piece of wire run to ground and the other end stuck into a 3-socket connector to reset it.
A$3 LED from Radio Shack can tell you the fault code so you know what the problem is; don't give up the ship quite yet!
ex: K75S Berlina R100GS/PD , K100RS , R75/5 , R60/2
Look here for articles on diagnosing ABS faults and resetting.
Look under Gauges-Electrical-ABS.
There is an outfit that rebuilds the ABS controller for a reasonable price, cant locate it right now.

Early last year, we refinanced our mortgage because rates had gone down enough that we were able to get a rate that was 7/8% lower. This time, we will get a rate that's another 2/3% lower, so we'll be at 4.125% (I'm hoping that it will be even lower by the time we close, though I don't think that's going to happen).
The last time we refinanced, I was all about saving money and lowering our overall payments. But back then, I didn't foresee myself no longer working at this point in our lives.
This time, I am all about the lower monthly payment. After all, I've quit my job and make a miniscule fraction of what I used to make.
We can certainly continue to make our monthly payment now, but I like the wiggle room that a lower monthly payment will give us. And we'll continue to pay extra on the mortgage, just not as much as we used to. We may, in the long run, end up paying more for the house than we would have if we hadn't refinanced. But we're confident it will be worth it – I am so much happier now than I was when I was working full-time, and I think that as the kids get older, I'll be even happier that I am around a lot. I've always wanted to have the house that the kids hang out at after school, so I know what my kids are doing.
I have to admit though, that I'd forgotten how much paperwork is involved in a refi. And, I'm waiting for the appraiser to arrive right now!

This is just my 2 cents worth,
If your having problem installing ZA Anti-Virus or ZA Security Suite or ZA Extreme Security and have ever installed previous installation of Norton Systemworks or Norton AntiVirus, or Norton Security Suite 2009/2010 or Norton 360 or any McAfee Tools when you use ADD/Remove to Remove any of Symantec Norton utilities, especially their Norton Anti-Virus program,
they still leave lots of traces behind after the "UNINSTALL" Fortunately SYMANTEC has a Fix for this problem on the Symantec web site called "NORTON REMOVAL TOOL" that does a better job of REMOVING ALL traces of Norton Symantec files..
******** Important Notice ********
here is the Link to the Removal Tools Recommended by Checkpoint..
Remove all 3rd party antivirus and security software
To avoid conflicting programs, please remove all 3rd party antivirus and security software. These products will conflict with your ZoneAlarm product and could result in technical or performance problems.
******** Important Notice ********
If you have already installed Any Version of ZoneAlarm, there are several things you need to do, after you have removed all traces of Norton and Symantec with the (Norton Removal Tool),
before you install your New ZA Free 9.2.102.000, ZAPro, ZAAV or Security Suite, ZAX 9.3.037.000 for Paid version of ZA for Vista Sp1 or SP2 or Windows 7.
************************************************** ************
1.) I recommend downloading a FREE Trash cleaner called ccleaner.exe from www.ccleaner.com and install it and run it with the default setting to clean out all junk from your Cache, Temp Files and Recycle bin, even a good Registry cleaner..
Here is an alternate Site for a Slim version of ccleaner without the Yahoo Tool-bar..
******** Important Notice ********
1.) The other major cause of Install failure and True Vector errors is Conflict with 3rd party Security programs running during ZA install, like Webroot Spysweeper, Spyware Doctor, Bit Defender Conflicts because it has many of the features of ZASS..Spyware Doctor's Process Guard does not play nice with ZA..
2.) As a General Rule to avoid Conflict you should Only run one Firewall and one Anti-Virus on the same computer..
You can run Multiple Anti-Spyware programs, as long as the Anti-Spyware does not include some firewall or Anti-Virus Function to Conflict with ZA..
as far as the WindowsXP firewall, ZA by default on install will turn OFF the Windows one way Firewall..
Don't worry if Windows Security Center pops up a warning that it does not recognize ZA Firewall..
There is a fix for that Cosmetic flaw in windows..
3.) Click on Program Control, this will display a new page, at the TOP of that page Click the "Program" tab
That will open a new page.. on the left is the names of the files and programs being controlled..Look down the list for.. (the Program that your having a problem with)

Local Students Help Staff Respond During Disaster Drill
Home » About Us » News » 2013 News » Local Students Help Staff Respond During Disaster Drill
March 13, 2013
Students from the Health Science Charter School in Buffalo portrayed patients during an emergency drill at Kenmore Mercy Hospital on March 13. The ten students were among more than thirty volunteers, as well the hospital staff, taking part in the drill.
Each student was given a scenario with various levels of consciousness, vital signs and items for them to "complain about" and made up to look their part. Students had to act out the scenario to emergency room staff. Injuries ranged from headaches and sprained ankles to severe burns and difficulty breathing.
"The students were able to learn firsthand how quickly hospital staff must respond when a disaster takes place. Students also got a close up view of the emergency room and the equipment," said Dawn M. Cwierley, public relations manager for the hospital.
The disaster response drill at Kenmore Mercy was a real-time test of the hospital's readiness to respond to a sudden demand for services resulting from a community-wide disaster. Routine evaluation of these drills helps Kenmore Mercy make sure it is adequately prepared to meet the community's needs and provide high-quality care during a disaster event.
"Participating in this drill allowed the students to learn more about how the hospital and the emergency medical services in our community work together during a disaster," said Nancy Preskop, recruiter for Catholic Health and liaison to the Health Science Charter School.
Each year, Kenmore Mercy hosts students from the school at "M.A.S.H. Camp," which stands for Medical Academy of Science and Health, which gives the students another inside look at the hospital. They meet with working health professionals, participate in hands-on demonstrations, and tour various departments within the hospital, to see if a future career in healthcare might be right for them. The next "M.A.S.H. Camp" is scheduled on April 18.
A special thank you to all of our volunteers, including individuals from the Community Emergency Response Team, students from the Health Science Charter School, and nursing student from D'Youville.

I saw quite a few Steatoda already identified on this forum, but I havent seen any like mine, which is entirely black. I found 2 of these in 2 different sheds in the Bristol area.
Any ideas would be appreciated,
Thanks a lot!
Hi Annabelle,
Steatoda grossa looks like the most likely candidate.
Yup, almost certainly a Steatoda grossa.
Thank you :-)
Thanks MWJB !
So I guess some are redish and some are completely black then.

I am trying to program a clone for the Unix command fgrep in C for my CSC class and I am having trouble in this part of my program. It is the part where I search for the specified word in a line (which was attained by fgets and sent to the function when called). It is simply supposed to return 1 if the word was found in the line, or 0 if it was not. I may not be going about this in the best way, but this is what I have:
There are a couple of debugging prints in it, which should not effect the actual running of the code. The function initString simply fills the entire string with NUL bytes (probably should be called clearString).Code:
int searchLine(char *line, char query[]){
int j;
int i = 0;
int pos = 0;
char tempWord[BUFL];
initString(tempWord, BUFL);
printf("\nQuerying for %s(%d) in:\n %s\n", query, strlen(query), line);
if(line[i] == '\n'){
} else if(line[i] == ' '){
printf("*** Space Found @ pos %d\n", i);
initString(tempWord, BUFL);
pos = 0;
for(j = 0; j < strlen(query); j++){
if(tempWord[j] != query[j]){
if(j == strlen(query) - 1){
printf("*** Search Sucess");
return 1;
} else {
tempWord[pos] = line[i];
printf("Pos: %d | String=%s\n", pos, tempWord);
if(i > MAXLEN){
return 0;
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I didn't give an example of the output of the program:
It keeps going without anything in the tempWord variable (which is, I assume, result of initString), but I thought it would ad the next word (the chars in "line" after a space is found) to tempWord starting at "pos = 0"Code:
Querying for chicken(7) in:
alksdf;alkjsf alksdfjdk chicken sdfdsf
Pos: 0 | String=a
Pos: 1 | String=al
Pos: 2 | String=alk
Pos: 3 | String=alks
Pos: 4 | String=alksd
Pos: 5 | String=alksdf
Pos: 6 | String=alksdf;
Pos: 7 | String=alksdf;a
Pos: 8 | String=alksdf;al
Pos: 9 | String=alksdf;alk
Pos: 10 | String=alksdf;alkj
Pos: 11 | String=alksdf;alkjs
Pos: 12 | String=alksdf;alkjsf
*** Space Found @ pos 13
Pos: 1 | String=
Pos: 2 | String=
Pos: 3 | String=
Sorry for the long post

Flood risk after more heavy rain
Parts of Britain have endured another night of wet weather with heavy deluges raising the risk of further flooding in the coming days.
A band of persistent rain that hit the south west of England on Friday afternoon and swept across Wales, the Midlands, East Anglia and southern England continued during the early hours.
Between 25 to 35mm of rain fell in some areas of the south, prompting authorities to issue a number of flood warnings and alerts.
The unpleasant weather is expected to clear away before returning on Sunday with another 20mm to 30mm falling in south west England and south west Wales, and up to 60mm on the high ground.
The Environment Agency (EA) has issued four flood warnings and 27 flood alerts in the south-west region.
In a statement, the agency said: "We're warning communities across south west England and southern Wales to be vigilant and alert for flooding as heavy rain is set to return on Sunday afternoon and into Monday." It added that Sunday's expected deluges may result in significant disruption.
Gemma Plumb, a forecaster for MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said the rain should have cleared all parts of the UK by late morning.
"Once the rain in the south and east of England has cleared most of the UK will be dry with sunny spells and temperatures between 13C and 16C," she added.
"Tonight looks like most places will be dry, but it will be a chilly night with mist and fog patches in places. Temperatures could touch zero in some areas of the north with the potential of a local frost tomorrow morning."
Ms Plumb said Sunday will get off to another dry and bright start with long spells of sun before the next band of heavy rain moves in later on in the day. "The rain will move into south west England, Wales and central-southern England and spread north-east. It could be quite heavy and persistent and will continue into Monday."

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonosis (a disease transmitted from animals to humans), with cats being the predominant source of infection. It is caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii.
Most T. gondii infections are asymptomatic or present with a transient febrile illness, often with lymphadenopathy. However, primary infections acquired during pregnancy can cause stillbirth or congenital abnormalities, including blindness, encephalomyelitis, impaired brain functions and convulsions in the newborn. Infections can also be more severe in individuals who are infected with HIV or who are otherwise immunocompromised.
Toxoplasmosis can be treated with antibiotics but early detection of the disease is crucial for effective therapy.

Local Students Take DePauw Stage in 'Spring Festival of Shakespeare', May 3 & 4
April 25, 2013
Local teenagers are empowered by the height and breadth of Shakespeare's emotion and language and captivated by his characters and stories as DePauw Theatre presents its "Spring Spectacle of Shakespeare." Performed and produced by students from Cloverdale, Greencastle, North Putnam and South Putnam middle and high schools, the Spectacle will take place on May 3 and 4 at DePauw.
The performances mark the culmination of a course taught by Amy Hayes, part-time professor of communication and theatre. It prepares DePauw students to do Shakespeare with local high school and middle school students. Part classroom activity and part in-school practicum, the course stresses the visceral, emotional, and intellectual power of experiencing Shakespeare's language physically and vocally. The course culminates in the upcoming festival of Shakespeare's plays performed by local students at DePauw.
"We, of course, want it to be rewarding for the younger students, but we have been overwhelmed by how life changing this process has been for the DePauw students, too," adds Hayes.
"The experience of working on and actually doing a Shakespeare play is much different than studying and writing about a Shakespeare play. Doing, directing, playing characters and telling the stories makes it a part of you that writing a paper could never do," notes the professor. "Shakespeare's epic language, stories and characters equip teenagers with the emotional power to deal with the highs and lows of adolescence. From developing close relationships with the University students who shepherd them to learning to trust their own voices and bodies, the program's practicum and curriculum encourages students to fully immerse themselves in Shakespeare's universal themes of love, death, revenge and human nature."
Since DePauw students are working alongside local youth for an entire semester, the Spring Spectacle program provides the avenue to forge positive and lasting connections between the Greencastle and DePauw communities.
"Art does this," Hayes says. "Because when you're creating something out of nothing, it builds things. I hope that the audience is as amazed by these kids. We are every day. We're not doing Shakespeare for young people; we're doing Shakespeare with young people."
The "Spring Spectacle of Shakespeare" opens on Friday, May 3, with two 90-minute performances. At 6 p.m. Greencastle students perform Much Ado About Nothing followed by Cloverdale students at 8 p.m. performing The Tempest. On May 4 at 6 p.m. Henry V features students from South Putnam, and at 8 p.m. North Putman students perform Julius Caesar. All of the programs will be staged in Moore Theatre, located in the Judson and Joyce Green Center for the Performing Arts.
Tickets are $3 for students and $6 for adults and are available for purchase at the Green Center's box office or online here.Back

Earlier interest rate cuts spur activity
SIGNS of life have returned to the mortgage market, suggesting the effects of earlier interest rate cuts are starting to spur activity in the housing sector.
Home loans increased a bigger-than-expected 1.8 per cent in August, following a 1 per cent fall in July, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Economists had expected a rise of 1.5 per cent in the month, as the effects of earlier rate cuts filtered into the economy.
The official data is the latest piece of positive news for the housing market, which has seen increased activity in recent weeks.
''The slight pick-up in housing finance indicates that conditions in the housing market may be showing signs of improvement, although annual growth remains soft,'' said St George Bank senior economist Jo Heffernan.
The figures show borrowers are again starting to pile into fixed-rate loans. The proportion of total housing finance at fixed rates increased to 11.2 per cent in August, up from 9.9 per cent in July. The proportion of fixed-rate loans peaked at a little more than 25 per cent in early 2008 as official cash rates moved higher.
Despite the home loans rise, JPMorgan economist Ben Jarman said the figures did not show much of a turnaround. ''It's an August number, so it's capturing more of the RBA's work since the middle of the year,'' he said. Also, house prices had slipped from the middle of 2010 to the middle of this year.
''Those two factors have combined to force marginal buyers in, once the interest rate got low enough,'' he said. ''The question is, is that sustainable? With the credit growth remaining low, we don't see the fuel for that much housing market turnover. We think the lack of traction is going to be one of the reasons the RBA cuts further.''
Mr Jarman said overall household debt was a ''pretty significant'' constraint to further activity in the housing sector.
Housing investment lending fell 0.8 per cent in August, after a 2.7 per cent drop in July, the ABS said, while the value of owner-occupied home loans rose 1.3 per cent in August, from a fall of 1.4 per cent in July.
The Reserve Bank has cut 150 basis points from the cash rate since November last year. Since then, the big banks have passed on an average of about 115 basis points of cuts.

Three cheers for Ross Smith!!! I am impressed with your tenacity and inspired by your take charge "can do" attitude. I look forward to walking this trail some day. Thank you Ross. Kathie Hixon (former Montair resident)

Leave it to Ross to come up a plan that benefits everyone in Danville. There are two types of people in the world, Givers and Takers. Ross is a giver. If we had more givers our community service organizations would be overflowing. Sadly this is not the case. Thank you Ross Smith for bringing into consciousness the need to be more involved in the beautiful community in which we live.

Ross Smith, you have restored my faith, that there are still people who really care about the community and doing the right thing. I would love to see you run for the town council and replace the current cronies of developers, who have lost touch with what really benefits our great community. Think about it Ross, I have a feeling you have hit a nerve, and there are many people of every possible political party that would support you. Anyone else feel similar to me?

This a great story I have lived in Danville for 38 years and I know the area well and did not know that this park existed until now. This would be a great project for the the boy scouts to help restore.

Jessica, Thanks for the great article publicizing Ross' and Kiwanis' efforts to restore Montair Nature Trail and the park's history and current status. Great idea to include his pics in a slide show.

I live in Danville, this would be a wonderful location for high density, low income housing. Plus with our goal to educate children, SRVUSD could sell this property off and make a sizeable profit to be used for enhanced education. There are plenty of parks around for geology and oak tree exhibits. The other benefit is that it is so close to town and to the elementary school, that this would reduce the carbon footprint.
If the town council is listening or SRVUSD, please consider devlopeing this property.

Nice job trolling there JT.
Even though you are joking let's not give our fine council members and so called "planners" any ideas.

Thank you, Ross! What a wonderful idea to restore this piece of parkland history. People like you are what makes this area so wonderful.
As suggested above, please do consider the run for Town Council. Storer and Stepper are up for re-election in November 2014. It is high time to replace them with people like you.

The league's owners said that if the NHL lockout hit Oct. 25 without a resolution, an 82-game season was off the table.
On Friday, whether temporarily or not, that came to pass: The league, on the 41st day of the work stoppage, told teams that games from Nov. 2 through Nov. 30 were canceled. Elliotte Friedman of CBC first reported the news.
Games, 135 in all, from Oct. 11 through Nov. 1 had already been postponed. Safe, for now, are the Winter Classic and 2012 All-Star Game, though commissioner Gary Bettman said on Wednesday that a decision would have to be made on the Jan. 1 event at some point in November.
The total number of games canceled now stands at 326.
— Photos: 15 shades of Gary Bettman
The league had previously said that it could get up and operational in a week after a deal—whether that principle would hold if, say, the sides agreed on a new CBA in mid-November remains to be seen.
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed the news with the following two-paragraph press release:
"The National Hockey League deeply regrets having to take this action. By presenting a proposal to the NHLPA that contemplated a fair division of revenues and was responsive to Player concerns regarding the value of their contracts, we had hoped to be able to forge a long-term Collective Bargaining Agreement that would have preserved an 82-game Regular Season for our fans. Unfortunately, that did not occur.
"We acknowledge and accept that there is joint responsibility in collective bargaining and, though we are profoundly disappointed that a new agreement has not been attained to this point, we remain committed to achieving an agreement that is fair for the Players and the Clubs—one that will be good for the game and our fans."
NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr released a statement of his own, noting what he perceived to be concessions by his side and referring to the owners' offer as "take-it-or-leave it." He also reinforced that the union had offered to meet, "with no preconditions," and that the owners refused.
"They apparently are only interested in meeting if we first agree to everything in their last offer, except for perhaps a few minor tweaks and discussion of their "make whole" provision," Fehr wrote.
"The message from the owners seems to be: if you don't give us exactly what we want, there is no point in talking. They have shown they are very good at delivering deadlines and demands, but we need a willing partner to negotiate. We hope they return to the table in order to get the players back on the ice soon."
With an 82-game schedule off the table, Daly also told The Philadelphia Inquirer the league would have to "rethink and restructure a proposal"; all previous offers have been dependent on playing a full season.
Until Thursday, an offer from the league that would play a condensed 82-game schedule starting on Nov. 22 was on the table. In that offer, players would receive 50 percent of hockey-related revenues immediately, then make back the seven percent they'd have given up via a so called "make-whole provision."
The issue with that, though, is that it would pay players for lost wages against their future earnings, and not apply beyond the next two seasons. Players are determined to be paid every dollar they're contracted for, and structured three counterproposals around that principle—those, too, moved toward a 50/50 split, but did so later in the life of the deal.
Two proposals tied their share to a future growth on top of guaranteed money, rather than a percentage. The third proposed an immediate 50/50 split on future revenues—while continuing to pay out agreed-upon contracts.
The league essentially dismissing them out of hand, telling the NHLPA to either come back with a wholly new idea or negotiate off the owners' existing offer. Players weren't amenable to that, but did request a meeting earlier this week. That request was denied, and on Friday, the repercussions began in earnest.
On Wednesday night, President Barack Obama urged the sides to work something out during a "Tonight Show" appearance.
Talking to Jay Leno, Obama took time to answer questions submitted from viewers and the studio audience.
One fan from Los Angeles asked Obama if he could pull any strings to end the work stoppage.
"You know, I do have a comment on this," said Obama, who is campaigning for re-election. "Every time these things happen I just want to remind the owners and players: You guys make money because you've got a whole bunch of fans out there who are working really hard—they buy tickets, they're watching on TV.
"You all should be able to figure this out. Get this done. The fans deserve it."

Oh, sorry, the slides didn't make it quite clear. In the actual talk I did say that Alzabo handles schema changes and generally gets closer to what we want it to do.
I'm afraid Alzabo still doesn't hit my personal sweet spot, so it
stays there
[about tangram being an oodb] No it's not. It just pretends to be. Something like Pixie, say is a proper object database. Unfortunately, object databases tend to be slow. Oh well.

Building a HungerFree world
Every day, people without enough to eat are consumed by the task of survival. Broken political systems, environmental challenges, natural disasters, and the cycle of poverty entrench the poor in a constant search for their next meal.
This is a reality that no person should live with -- but millions do.
World leaders are uniquely positioned to address the complex issues that cause global hunger. This May and June, leaders from around the world will gather for the G8 and G20 summits. Hunger needs to be on the agenda, and leaders need to commit to taking steps toward food security and better nutrition. World Vision wants to ensure that the voices of the hungry reach the ears of the people who have the power to make influential decisions.
In that spirit, today marks the beginning of HungerFree -- a global campaign to end hunger.
Over the next 20 days, we will be providing you with ways to add your voice and creativity to the message we are sending our leaders.
Be a part of the movement:
- Add your Facebook profile picture to our Global Facebook Photo Project.
- Tweet global leaders, asking them to take action against world hunger.
- Upload art to our HungerFree Art Challenge. Create art that expresses the importance of a hunger-free world. Visitors will vote on their favorites. The eight winning art pieces will be printed as the covers for the HungerFree photo books given to G8 leaders, as well as displayed on the HungerFree art installation being built outside the G8 Summit in Washington, D.C.
Learn more about the HungerFree campaign, and take action today to bring relief to the 925 million people worldwide who suffer from hunger.

DNC Day Two: A Very Special Liveblog
Greetings from the Democratic National Convention in horrible Charlotte, North Carolina, where your humble correspondents were just penned like dogs with a mass of humanity while waiting for fire marshals or some such to approve our entrance. Hamilton Nolan, myself, and SPECIAL GUEST AND GAWKER EMERITA Ana Marie Cox of the Guardian are here to liveblog this magical night for you. Let's begin.
9:36 (Hamilton): Chaos is the order of the day here in the Time Warner Cable Sucks Arena. The press has contended with police and bad wi-fi connections already, in addition to bad seats. Nevertheless, we are here. Politics! What a crowd in here! I can report: a full house tonight.
9:40 (Hamilton): Why are Democrats harping on the god damn auto industry so much? All because some headline writer once put a sensational headline on a Mitt Romney op-ed. And because Romney wanted Detroit to go broke, and die.
9:45 (John): "That's why unions matter!" Said the union leader at a convention held in a right-to-work state.
9:45 (Ana): Charlotte is to journalists what Tampa was to delegates: NO MESSAGE TOTAL SHITSHOW.
9:46: (Ana): "Making money without a moral compass" but still able to send a wire to the Cayman Islands.
9:47 (Hamilton): The wi-fi here at the DNC appears to be controlled by the Republican party.
9:49 (Hamilton): Tonight, Joe Biden will assemble an entire car LIVE ON STAGE.
9:53 (Hamilton): Chris Van Hollen referencing fact checkers again. When will lib bigots stop coloring the discussion with facts?
9:53 (John): Chris Van Hollen: The guy who's so important he went on JUST before primetime.
9:56 (John): Where is Sandra Fluke? She was supposed to speak in the 8 p.m. hour. Is she having sex, with contraception? Probably.
9:57 (Ana): Of the President's debt reduction plan: "It's on the internet!" This does not exactly inspire confidence.
10:00 (Ana): "Paul Ryan's *obsession* with tax breaks to the wealthy." I am okay with this characterization, DSM IV guidelines and all.
10:02 (John): Sandra Fluke LITERALLY just had sex with a dude. Probably.
10:03 (John): "Because it happened in Congress, people noticed." Honestly if you want people not to notice something, do it in Congress.
10:03 (Ana): Making fun of Sandra Fluke by implying she has a lot of sex is only funny because we don't mean it, obviously. Though clearly any woman who talks about sex in public is a dirty whore.
10:04 (Ana): What I'm trying to say is that these Fluke jokes are getting very meta, so meta that they're now just offensive on their own. SO THANKS A LOT, RUSH.
10:05 (John): Sandra Fluke clearly knows nothing of the close, strong bond that can form between a politician and his donors.
10:09 (Hamilton): Attention Americans, there are seven thousand jobs available at Costco. Line up now.
10:11 (Hamilton): Undecided voters: Who among you dares contradict the endorsement of a corporate CEO? Game over.
10:14 (John): Nothing like the CEO of Costco to get the crowd FIRED UP AND READY TO GO BY TALKING ABOUT TRANSPORTAION INFRASTRUCTURE. Let's hear it for roads!
10:15 (Hamilton): Obama Wins Boring Man's Vote.
10:16 (Ana): So speaking of the wi-fi here, what IS former FEMA director Michael Brown doing these days?
10:17 (John): "I never dreamed I'd be the warm-up act for President Clinton." That sounds dirty. Bill dreamed of it, Lizzie. Oh, did he dream.
10:17 (Hamilton): The term "shout out" officially died tonight.
10:19 (John): One of the things that always made Elizabeth Warren so great heretofore was that she never had to spout platitudes at political conventions.
10:20 (Ana): Eliz Warren is so energized I bet she's had at least half a cup of coffee.
10:21 (John): Shoutout to the programmers!
10:25 (Ana): I want to like her so much but she just makes me want to take up quilting - though with an awesome obscurist and social-justice component. I'll make them only from rags from the clothes worn by the GM strikers in Flint.
10:27 (Hamilton): Billionaires' secretaries are apparently now America's most powerful lobbying group.
10:28 (Ana): "American families didn't have an army of lobbyists on our side, but what we had was a President" - who had lobbyists on his side.
10:29 (Hamilton): It is still NOT too late for the Democrats to roll out Hologram Ted Kennedy.
10:31 (Ana): Honestly if Warren can get the hall this excited given her own energy level, WE HAVE SOLVED THE OIL CRISIS.
10:33 (Hamilton): Out of all the politicians at both conventions who have been the subject of jingoistic, hero-worshiping propaganda videos, I bet Bill Clinton likes his the best.
10:34 (Ana): We have reached the OMG PONIES!!!!111!!! portion of our program.
10:36 (Ana): I have this sense that in order to put together a clip of Obama saying nice things about Clinton, they had to splice it together Call Me Maybe-cover-style.
10:37 (Hamilton): Bill Clinton Declares Intention to Fuck Michelle Obama.
10:39 (John): Man what I'd give to know what Clinton said to Fluke backstage. PROBABLY SOMETHING DIRTY BUT CHARMING.
10:40 (Ana): Taking on the massive #humblebrag that was #RNC2012 is probably the best service Clinton can provide. With his clothes on. #dnc12
10:42 (John): Shoutout to PEPFAR!
10:44 (John): Bill Clinton: "Nobody's right all the time." FACT CHECK: I am right all the time.
10:45 (Hamilton): Standing O for Clinton's endorsement of Joe Biden. Biden himself unavailable.
10:46 (John): "Heck, he even appointed Hillary!" doesn't sound like a compliment?
10:47 (Hamilton): Maybe Clinton is taking up all the "cooperation" rhetoric that Obama used in 2008, so Obama will be free to tear motherfuckers a new asshole with a clear conscience tomorrow night.
10:49 (Ana): I think the crowd is just randomly cheering now.
10:49 (John): The pre-programmed signs everybody has been given read "Middle Class First," but "Class" is really small, so from the cheap seats it looks like "Middle First," which is really confusing.
10:51 (Hamilton): DEMOCRATS CHEER WILDLY FOR RONALD REAGAN.
10:53 (John): Much of Clinton's speech is off the cuff, or at least a deviation from the teleprompter. It's delivered much better than it's written.
10:56 (John): Barack Obama has four minutes to come out if he wants to hit primetime.
10:58 (John): Bill Clinton has JUST REACHED THE HALFWAY MARK of his speech. Settle in. Obama is probably fuming.
11:01 (Ana): Math is hard.
11:05 (Hamilton): Boy Clinton is really leaving himself open to quite a few Jay Leno jokes about talking a long time, hey did you say LONG, something something, penis (implied).
11:06 (John): That was a poignant moment, because Bill Clinton loves donuts.
11:08 (Ana): I am pretty sure he laughed, btw. As he does most of the time when watching lesser politicians.
11:09 (John): "Re-open the donut hole" actually sounds like a lot of fun.
11:12 (John): Ending the federal commitment to preventing American citizens from starving on its streets (a.k.a. welfare reform) is the worst thing Bill Clinton ever did, except for bombing the shit out of innocent Serbian civilians and dragging the nation through an interminable blowjob scandal because he's a compulsive monster.
11:14 (Hamilton): Inside tipster (no joke) tells us: "Obama coming out in t minus...TK...." Those ellipses are an accurate representation of the uncertainty of Bill Clinton speech length.
11:18 (John): JUST STOP PLEASE STOP IT.
11:20 (John): FACT CHECK: This hall is OK, but it's really not "grand."
11:20 (Hamilton): "You should vote for Barack Obama," says Clinton. Finally, his choice is revealed. I assume the speech is over now. Cat: out of bag.
11:21 (John): "If you think gay people ought to be able to marry each other"—wait, what?
11:26 (Hamilton): Okay Clinton finished talking and then Obama came out and then they left. Good night, America.

It was nearly a month ago when Richie Sambora took a sudden leave of absence from Bon Jovi, leaving the band without its longtime guitarist. Jon Bon Jovi later revealed Sambora's departure, due to "personal reasons," was as much of a surprise to him as it was the media and fans.
The band continued to tour without the troubled guitarist and plan to complete all of the scheduled stops as they proceed to head overseas. Bon Jovi released a brief statement on their website on Tuesday (April 30):
"Due to a personal matter, Richie Sambora will not be performing on the European and South African leg of the tour. All shows will go on as scheduled."
The "personal matter" mentioned is yet to be affirmed, but, considering Sambora's past, it can be speculated that involves substance abuse and/or rehab.
Bon Jovi heads to Capetown, South Africa for a show on May 7th and will return home to New Jersey for a pair of shows at MetLife Stadium on July 25th and 27th. They will close out 2013 with four shows in Australia.

This guide is based on my own experience installing OSX Lion. I didn't hade any experience with hackintosh, so it might not be done the most efficient way. I got it all running in four hours. If you follow this guide, you can probably do it in less then two.
My specs are:
2,10 GHz processor (shouldn't matter)
3GB RAM (shouldn't matter)
Broadcom BCM4315 Wireless card (does matter)
What doesn' t work for me:
- Microphone is too faint to be called working
I also give the links to the download inside de tuturial, but for pre-downloading is this the list:
- ###### http://tonymacx86.bl...lion-using.html
- Files for /System/Library/Extensions: System:Library:Extensions.zip 314.51KB 1039 downloads
- Files for /Extra/Extensions: :Extra.zip 347.99KB 990 downloads
- Kext Utility: http://cvad-mac.narod2.ru/Kext_Utility
- Chameleon: http://www.meklort.com/ (and click on recent builds)
- OSX Lion Combo Update to 10.7.3
Step zero: Make mac with a mac
If you don't have a mac installation, we need to create one. The way I did was installing Snow Leopard first. Just get a retail version of sleopard from some site and follow http://www.insanelym...pic=223470&st=0 till you have it booted. When you have: continue with step 1.
1: Disabling speedstep
Disable Speedstep in you bios. If you do not you will get random freezes. Which you do not want during an installation.
To do this: 1. Press F2 right after you hit the start button
2. Go to performance settings
3. Disable speedstep
4. Do not enable it again until I say so
2: Installing Lion
If you have access to a Mac installation you can use the this guide:
http://tonymacx86.bl...lion-using.html. Do a clean install and after step 3 you should come back here.
3: Drivers from custom package, do NOT reboot untill i say so
- Copy the kexts from the System:Library:Extensions.zip 314.51KB 1039 downloads download to /System/Library/Extensions
- Copy the extracted directory from :Extra.zip 347.99KB 990 downloads to the root of your disk.
Change the string of Graphics Mode to your resolution.
Also check out an other file in de /Extra directory. Open smbios.plist
You might want to change the "SMmaximalclock" to your own. Eg for 2,4Ghz, make it 2400.
5: Install kext utility and chameleon
- Put kext utility in your application directory
- Run the chameleon installer
4: Enable speedstep
Do step one again, but now you have to enable it offcourse.
5: Updating to 10.7.3
Now you should be able to install de 10.7.3 update. Use the Combo update package from the Apple site.
6: WiFi for BCM43xx
If you have working WIFI now, you can skip this step. If you have a Intel wireless chip, you're screwed. If you have a Broadcom chip do this:
To make WIFI work on BCM43xx:
- Remove the file /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext
- Add the kext of
IO80211Family.kext.zip 4.16MB
1280 downloads instead
- Run KextUtility
7: Fix sleep
Open a terminal and execute this command:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0Problem is that ethernet will not work after recovered from sleep. Better than no sleep at all.
- To speed up your graphics a bit: Google for "Nvidia mac driver" and install the latest version.
- Remove kexts which cause non fatal errors on bootup: If you start in verbose you see some errors caused by non functional kexts. You can remove the following kexts to get rid of the errors and safe some bootup time. Remove these from /System/Library/Extensions: audioAUUC.kext , applehda.kext. Run afterwards kext utility.
Thanks to all the people who made this so easy.
Edit 19 February 2012: removed ######, because it is not cool.
Edit 2 april 2012: new buildbot link and other trackpad/keyboard kext.

hate all 4 picks. Patterson is not a top 10 talent, Barkley is a no , don't know much about the te abs monte ball ran behind an all pro line and I'm not a fan
The latest mock draft on walterfootball.com is interesting in that it goes offense for all of the first four rounds.
1. Patterson (WR)
2. Barkely (QB)
3. Escobar (TE)
4. Ball (RB)
Now while this fails to address the needs at OLB and OG, it strikes me at interesting to contemplate that we could possibly end up with potential starters at all four of those positions this way (which also says a lot about the state of our offense).
I'm not a fan of Patterson in the 1st but the other 3 don't really bother me that much. Swap in your favorite OLB or OG in round 1 and what do you guys think of the rest?
hate all 4 picks. Patterson is not a top 10 talent, Barkley is a no , don't know much about the te abs monte ball ran behind an all pro line and I'm not a fan
Looking at who was on the board when we were up for that mock draft I would have drafted like this.
1) Jarvis Jones - OLB
2) DeAndre Hopkins - WR
3) David Bakhtiari - OG/OT
4) Joe Randle - RB
5) Shawn Williams - S
Yep I hate this rubbish lineup mock draft.
Prefer something like 1. jordan/ mingo/ ansah
2. Warfard/Cooper/Lane etc any worthwhile OL.
3. Jamarko the S
4. Knile Davis if he lasts that long or Swopes white lightning
5. Another passrusher/ Rb Barner
6. OL/ WR/passrusher
If Barkley fell that far I'd take it in a second. The rest does nothing for me but I'd be OK with it.
The perceived association & stigma between one USC Quarterback who's unravelled into a mess, and drafting another (who's a far cry from risk-free) is public/media/fan sh*t-storm no GM/Owner will entertain.
Don't care if they're different people.
Don't care if they're different skillsets
Don't care if they were coached by different staffs.
Don't care if we need a quarterback...
Our new GM is NOT replacing a dysfunctional USC quarterback with another one. Wrap your minds around that.
I like Patterson and Ball.....Barkley in the 2nd I could live with although prefer Manuel in that spot or Bray (maybe 3rd for him)
I really think Patterson is going to be a stud....A lot of people don't seem to think so but I watched him play a ton and he's a bonafide playmaker with a ridiculous ceiling....Not to mention he is a special teams beast.....Great SEC defense had a ton of trouble containing him, that means alot to me
Not a fan of Patterson and he hasn't showed well at the combine. I'm warming up to EJ Manual at QB but hopefully in the 3rd round. I do like Ball in the 4th though.
I would cry if that's our draft
We would be drafting Hill, Sanchez and Greene all over again.
I like walterfootball alot, I even post there sometimes, but he isn't very good when it comes to the Jets.
As far as this draft, there's something to be said about finally addressing offense, predominantly. And I'm not opposed to Barkley if the team likes him. A QB like him in the 2nd round won't hamstring an organization like swinging and missing in the first. There was a time that Barkley was top 5 guy....if the team has him rated that highly, I wouldn't mind going for it. It doesn't stop us from taking a top QB next year if that's what plays out.
Draftcoundown has us taking Glennon in the 2nd round because...and I quote... "Mark Sanchez is running out of chances and at the absolute least a reliable backup is needed.". So who the frak drafts a 'reliable backup QB' in the early 2nd round?
Even in this case, Walter says he gave us Patterson because he Tanny mocked it and W feels Tanny must still have some inside info. How retarded is that?
Personally, I don't give a rat's arse about the USC thing. From what I have seen and read (and I am no expert), I think Barkley is probably one of the top 3 prospects in this draft at QB and worth a gamble at 39 if the FO agrees.

This week is Food Allergy Awareness Week. I've talked about my son's life threatening food allergies a couple times, but thought this week was my opportunity to spread a little awareness.
One of the things I've noticed when I've written or talked about food allergies is that I often run into misconceptions. Some of those misconceptions I expected and some surprised me. And some (not on this site) reduced me to tears because the implications hurt.
So I thought the best way to talk about food allergies this week isn't to tell my son's story again, but to address those misconceptions, those lies, so we can move past them.
The top 5 lies about food allergy parents.
1. We are exaggerating. – When I say my son breaks out in hives from kisses or has a life threatening food allergy, I'm not exaggerating. I realize it sounds outlandish, especially since his worst allergy is to milk. Milk is supposed to be healthy, right? But for him, it's not. I'm not making it up, believe me, I wish I was. I know how crazy his reactions I describe sound because they are crazy for me too, but they are very real.
2. We want you to change your life for our children. – I am one of those people who hates to impose on anyone. I don't think most parents want to impose on their child's classmates or their parents. I want my children to be liked, just like anyone. Unfortunately sometimes we have to make requests and we know it might make people mad. That's not a nice position and not one that most people would put themselves in on purpose. It's uncomfortable.
3. We think our children are "special snowflakes". – The special snowflake term is funny to me because honestly, don't we all kind of think that (if we are being completely honest)? But if I was going to pick a cause to "snowflake" out on, it would be that my child is the smartest, not the most allergic. Of all the competitions I'd love to see him win one day, being the most allergic child isn't the one I'd like him to win. Fastest might be a little awesome though.
4. We want our children to have food allergies because they are "in" or "hip". – I don't really get this one, but I've heard and read it. Just because food allergies are more common doesn't make them hip or cooler, it just makes them more common. They are more common and I still wish my child didn't have them.
5. We caused the food allergies. – No one really knows what causes food allergies. I know some people assume food allergy kids were kept in a bubble and their immune system didn't develop because mom disinfected the baby's universe. I can tell you my food allergy child is my third boy. His environment was never germ-free, he had two big brothers happily sneezing on him since birth. And he had the colds to prove it.
I think the most important thing to remember about food allergy parents is that we just love our kids and want them to say safe. So instead of being mad about a peanut ban at school or feeling your child's rights are being trampled on when their classroom goes free of an allergen, just put yourselves in our shoes. I think we all can benefit from a little understanding.
Are you a food allergy parent? What do you feel is the biggest misconception out there about food allergies? And have you tried to change it?

Package Bargs + DeRozan to Jazz for Favors + Millsap + 2nd round pick (I think the Jazz will do whatever they can to resign Al Jeff and have him play PF) while Kanter is their C of the future.
Next ship Valanciunas + Ross + Kleiza to Orlando for A.Affalo + 1st round pick (Top 10 guaranteed)
Resign Bassy Telfair and Allan Anderson to a one year deal
Draft Nerlens Noel with the Magic pick and Ray McCallum or Seth Curry with the Jazz pick
Sign Tony Allen, a 2 years 10 million contract
Sign Marquis Daniel a one year vet minimum deal so he can be our 3rd string SF
Sign Nazr Mohammad with a one year vet minimum deal
Next Year
Lowry/Telfair/McCallum or Curry
Our front court are set with Millsap and Noel and if Noel does not pan out, we have Favors who plays like Amir Johnson, imagine the two as our backup PF and C, our paint are protected while our shooter is set with Affalo knocking down the shots. I know this is a big change of a lineup for the Raps but if we are gonna win, we have to make sure to do something different than this year. I know we loose a lots of talents in DeRozan + Ross + Val but in exchange we get something better. T.Allen is R.Gay's buddy and he will be a good backup SG for us, he defends and plays tough defense, something both Ross and A.Anderson lack there off besides he has tons of playoff experience. We will do whatever we can to shed both Bargs and Kleiza's contract and find a better home for them.

Mike Woodson is hoping to have Baron Davis (hamstring) back on Wednesday against the Sixers.
"We've just got to wait on him. We're not going to rush him," Woodson said on Tuesday. "He's a big part of what we do." Jeremy Lin will likely see a boatload of minutes with Mike Bibby acting as his primary backup while Davis is sidelined.

A trifecta of life's pleasures. So, let's hear some stories about additional gear you include in the list
of gear you bring with.
When I know I'll be camping I make certain I pack a set of binoculars (8x42 wide angle) so I can scan
the sky late at night. Have yet to find motivation/logistics for packing the full telescope, lol, though
that would be a sight - no pun intended. Best dark sky spot so far -- Lake Gogebic -- in the UP of
Michigan, hey? It used to be the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt Nat'l Park in NDak, but the energy
boom and all the flaring of natural gas from oil wells has ruined the dark sky that used to reign in the

SUBIACO -The Trojans scored their first touchdown of the 2007 season early, but the Ola Mustangs responded with 180 yards passing, 139 yards rushing and a 28-6 road win Friday night in Logan County.
Give Ola (1-0) back those four fumbles suffered inside the 20-yard line, and the game could have gotten out of hand, Mustangs coach David Minnie said after the game.
"The defense did a great job," Minnie said. "Subiaco's only score came early in the game, then our defense really stood up and shut them down. We were able to drive the ball on offense. Matt Damon did a great job of finding his receivers.
"We did have some turnovers. We had four fumbles in the red zone (inside 20-yard line). We can't be turning the football over in the red zone like that. But offensively and defensively, we had pretty good balance."
Ola went on top 7-0 as Tyler King hauled in a 48-yard pass from Damon with 4:18 in the first quarter. Will King rumbled across the goal line from 10 yards out with 6:55 to go in the second quarter for Ola's 14-6 advantage. Damon connected with Will King on a 35-yard touchdown strike in the second quarter to give the Mustangs a 21-6 margin at halftime.
Finally, in the third quarter, Tyler King rushed for another 10-yard touchdown to wrap up the game's scoring. Reyes Robledo was a perfect 4-for-4 in point-after kicks for Ola, which travels to Perryville next week to face a battle of the Mustangs in Perry County.
Cutter Morning Star 28, Western Yell County
HAVANA - The Wolverines are still looking for their first win after falling short Friday night against Cutter Morning Star.
Western Yell County (0-1) had eight turnovers in the game, and still had a chance at the end to win.
"We have got to cut out the turnovers and mistakes," Wolverine head coach Mark Tolton said. "The guys could see tonight that we were so close to winning, and they kept looking at me saying, 'We can do it.'"
After the Eagles took an 8-0 lead, the Murry brothers put the Wolverines on the board as Jesse found Johnny for a 35-yard touchdown pass. Cutter Morning Star added to there score to go up 18-6, but WYC came back as the Murry brothers hooked up again for the score.
The Eagles took a 20-12 lead into the break, and then scored their final touchdown early in the second half to lead 28-12. The Wolverines didn't give up though. Late in the third, the WYC defense forced a fumbled which was picked up and returned for a touchdown to pull the Wolverines within 10 points. Midway through the fourth, Jesse Murry found teammate Curtis Bland on a fade route for the final score of the night.
"The kids busted their tales tonight," Tolton said. "I was really pleased with the way our 10th graders stepped up and helped out tonight."
WYC returns to action at 7 p.m. Friday as it host Mountain Pine.

I can't help much with identification, but I found three pdf-files that might be of interest:
http://www.landesmuseum.at/pdf_frei_remote/ENT_0026_0009-0016.pdf and
http://www.landesmuseum.at/pdf_frei_remote/ENT_0024_0353-0377.pdf (I hope you understand German!)
(If my understanding [I "studied" German back in my school days in the neolithic] of the text in the second pdf-file [p.13] is correct, your photo might show a male Scolia flaviceps quettaensis, which I believe is said to have a yellow band over the frons [forehead] between the sini ocularis [incurvatures of the eyes], a yellow streak over the vertex and yellow bands on tergites 3 and 4. Also the distal part of the wings should be darkish. In the first pdf-file it says that the subspecies-status of the flaviceps-group still is very unclear as there are many intermediar forms.)
Also - in the first volume of Arthropod Fauna of the UAE (http://www.nhbs.com/arthropod_fauna_of_the_uae_volume_1_tefno_159055.html)
there are five pages on the Scoliidae (I don't have access to the book myself...).
I hope you are not a Tax Inspector Episcophagus, you never give up

I found the insect in the attached photos in a mixed conifer forest in Angus early autumn 2011. I assume it is a wasp or hornet of some sort - presumably a 'queen' as it was scarily BIG. The images were captured on my portable telephone so they are blurry I'm afraid. I placed a £1 coin beside it for scale.
What is it?
Yes a wasp (Hymenoptera) but one of the sawflies rather than one of the vespids - this one is commonly known as the Greater Wood-wasp, Urocerus gigas. They are common-ish around pine plantations and their larvae feed within then moribund trunks/limbs of softwoods such as pine. They do not sting as their fearsome looking weaponry may suggest, this is just a sheath that protects the more fragile ovipositer (egg laying tube) of the females.
