Wired.com is presenting a collection of galleries intended to help people become better geeks, nine items at a time. This is the seventh in the 9 for 9 series.
- - -
From Star Wars to Lord of the Rings, the spectacular geek destinations in the gallery above are some of the coolest movie locations on the planet. They're from films you've probably seen, but you'd have to be a well-traveled cinephile to have visited them all.
We understand that to hit all these cinematic hot spots would be a time- and money-intensive affair, but we still made sure all the places on the list are actually locations that people can visit. Perhaps more importantly, these are locations that are really fun to travel to. (You can go to the California parks where Return of the Jedi was filmed, but without the Ewoks, the Forest Moon of Endor is really just a bunch of trees).
These spots are scattered around the world, and all are worth the airfare. Let us know how many you've been to in the comments below. (We hope you're not a lifelong resident of Mordor.) Then enter your own must-visit geek movie destinations in the voting widget at the bottom of the page.
Arecibo Observatory (Puerto Rico)
Location for: Contact (1997)
Based on Carl Sagan's 1985 novel, Contact actually features two National Science Foundation radio astronomy facilities, but let's face it: Arecibo Observatory is in Puerto Rico, making it 10 times sexier than the Very Large Array (sorry, New Mexico). Better yet, you can visit Arecibo almost any day of the year (save for a few holidays) and see the largest radio telescope on Earth. (Sorry again, New Mexico, you're just "very large.") The location was also used in 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye, but Contact is what put it on the map. Also, just look at it. How cool is that?
While you're there: We hear Puerto Rico has some jammin' beaches; take one in once you're done geeking out.

Ennis House (Los Angeles)
Location for: Blade Runner (1982)
Blade Runner is supposed to be set in Los Angeles in 2019, but one of its most compelling settings is this Frank Lloyd Wright architectural masterpiece from 1924 in the city's Los Feliz neighborhood. The Ennis House, also known as the Ennis-Brown House, serves as Deckard's home and — true to the future predicted in Blade Runner — the mansion began falling into disrepair after the 1994 Northridge earthquake.
The Ennis House Foundation began a campaign to repair the building that was never truly finished. Businessman Ron Burkle purchased the Ennis House this summer for nearly $4.5 million. (Let's see someone try to afford that on a blade runner's salary.) According to the terms of the sale, Burkle will provide some form of public access to the home at least 12 days out of the year, but even if you're not lucky enough to visit Los Angeles on one of those dozen days, Wright's masterpiece is pretty visible from the street.
While you're there: Visit another beautiful building from Blade Runner -- the Bradbury Building. The Griffith Observatory (featured in The Terminator) is also a lovely place to spend an afternoon; it's open Wednesday through Sunday and admission to the grounds and observatory building is free.

Top Notch (Austin, Texas)
Location for: Dazed and Confused (1993)
It's a little ridiculous to go all the way to the heart of Texas just for a burger joint, but going to Top Notch is really just about being in Austin, which is one of the coolest towns in America. With South by Southwest, a banging food truck scene and more music venues than you can shake a drumstick at, Austin is awesome.
Director Richard Linklater, a Houston native, baked that awesomeness into Dazed and Confused. And helmers from Quentin Tarantino to Robert Rodriguez have also filmed the city's charms. So, yes, hit up all of Austin's wonders, then head to Top Notch for a burger. Keep your eyes peeled for the long-haired stoner who calls from the next car, "Hey, I know you. We had geography together, remember?"
While you're there: Visit Initech's office building from Office Space (see below). Ask local burnouts about parties at the Moon Tower.

Eastern State Penitentiary (Philadelphia)
Location for: 12 Monkeys (1995)
Perhaps the only thing more screwed up than the plot of director Terry Gilliam's virus thriller 12 Monkeys is the story behind the Eastern State Penitentiary, which served as the setting for the film's asylum. The prison was opened in 1829 as part of a movement to change the behavior of inmates through "confinement in solitude with labor." It would go on to hold inmates as infamous as Al Capone.
Following a visit to the prison, Charles Dickens wrote that "the System is rigid, strict and hopeless solitary confinement, and I believe it, in its effects, to be cruel and wrong." It was abandoned in 1971, but luckily it now offers daytime tours and a special Halloween haunted house.
While you're there: After leaving the pen, explore the City of Brotherly Love.... You'll need it.
Astoria, Oregon
Location for: The Goonies (1985)
The city of Astoria, Oregon, has become so associated with The Goonies that there are tours of the town associated with the film. Astoria even has an Official Goonies Day (June 7), and the 25th anniversary of the movie was celebrated there. Mikey's house (above)? The museum where his dad works? Head to Astoria to see them for yourself. Just don't go looking for the pirate ship — it was scrapped after filming.
While you're there: Search for lost doubloons.

Tikal National Park (Guatemala)
Location for: Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope (1977)
Yes, Star Wars is a masterpiece. But even a sci-fi classic pales in comparison to one of the most renowned examples of Mayan architecture in the world. Located in northern Guatemala, the Tikal ruins date back to periods with BCE date designations, but only began to be excavated by archaeologists in 1956. Eventually, a huge city of temples and other monuments was uncovered. The place that served as Yavin 4 in Star Wars was named a UNESCO World Heritage site just two years after the film's release. If you visit Tikal National Park, you can stay within the park — just like a real rebel. (OK, not really.)
While you're there: Take in some wonderful Mayan culture. Also: Jungles! Get your Indiana Jones on.

Hook and Ladder 8 (New York)
Location for: Ghostbusters (1984)
Normally this place holds firefighters who battle real blazes, but its exterior was used as the headquarters of every nerd's favorite team of parapsychologists — the Ghostbusters. There is (typically) no Ecto-1 inside and no Slimer to be found, but the firehouse is still located in downtown Manhattan, so there are probably dogs and cats living together somewhere nearby. Also, the location is pretty close to hundreds of other cool New York destinations, so there are plenty of other things to do after you take your obligatory photo outside of the Number 8. While in the city, be sure to head to the New York Public Library and make sure there are no books flying around.
While you're there: You're in the concrete jungle where dreams are made; there's nothing you can't do.

Tongariro National Park (New Zealand)
Location for: The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-2003)
Ever since Peter Jackson unleashed the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, it's been hard to look at the New Zealand countryside in the same way — mostly because even though he filmed in the country, his final product looked nothing like his homeland. But if you want to visit Mordor in Tongariro National Park you can, and it's actually quite pretty. In fact, there are lots of LOTR locations you can visit in the country's first national park. Camping abounds, and you can even climb craters. Precious.
While you're there: Find Peter Jackson. Tell him to get cracking on The Hobbit. We're waiting.

Marin County Civic Center (San Rafael, California)
Location for: Gattaca (1997)
Another of Frank Lloyd Wright's fantastic buildings, the Marin County Civic Center was also used by George Lucas in his 1971 film THX 1138. But in the 1997 Andrew Niccol film, the building served as the headquarters for Gattaca Corporation. In Marin County, where it holds people controlling things (probably) far less sinister than genetic engineering, the building offers docent-led tours. Tours cost $5 and no appointments are necessary. Neither is a hair sample.
While you're there: Head into San Francisco. It's been the backdrop for films from Bullit to Zodiac.

La Arcada is located in Havana
Capital of Cuba and the country's administrative, political, cultural and scientific center, it is also the capital of two provinces: City of Havana and Havana. Though only around 280 square miles (727 square kilometers) in size-0.65 percent of the archipelago's total area.
The Old Havana and system of forts led UNESCO to declare it a part of world heritage in 1982. Founded on its present site in 1519, the settlement of San Cristobal de La Habana prospered mainly due to its bay, which was a natural port of call for ships sailing to and from the New World. Starting in 1634, because of its strategic location, San Cristobal de La Habana was considered the key to the New World-as attested to by royal letters patent-and the main defense of the West Indies.
The Cuban capital consists of an immense number of buildings in a wide range of architectural styles, built in the course of nearly five centuries. These styles range from the pre-baroque to the baroque, neo-Gothic, neoclassical, eclectic, art noveau and art-deco, to the modern.
Alejo Carpentier, one of Cuba's most famous authors, called it "the city of columns" and focused attention on its streets, which he considered a perennially rich show of life, humanity and contrasts that was bound to entertain any observer.
Over 14 kilometers of excellent beaches lie to the east of the Cuban capital. To the south, a green belt contributes to a healthful atmosphere.

EARL TWP. - A house on Manatawny Road was destroyed by a fire late Friday morning.
More than 10 fire companies from surrounding areas responded to the 1200 block of Manatawny Road near the intersection of Longview Road around 11:30 a.m.
The cause of the fire has not been released but firefighters focused their efforts on the front door, the roof and a section in the back.
At one point, after the fire had been burning for approximately 30 minutes, an alarm sounded and all firefighters were evacuated from the house and off the roof.
Shortly after the alarm, smoke enveloped the structure and responders doused the house with foam.
When it was safe again to approach, one firefighter retrieved a charred American flag from its holder near the front door. The flag eventually made it onto the back of a Birdsboro-Union ladder truck.
For more than two hours firefighters worked to knock the fire down. During that time, licks of flame could be seen intermittently at the back of the house and in first floor windows.
Earl Township Volunteer Fire Company was assisted by Amity, Boyertown, Alsace, Gibraltar, Monarch, Eastern Berks, West End, Birdsboro-Union, Exeter, Liberty, and New Bernville fire companies.
EARLIER VERSION OF THE STORY EARL TWP. - A house was destroyed by a fire on Manatawny Road in Earl Township Friday morning.
Firefighters were seen dousing the home with foam and at one point evacuated the home as a precaution.
It was unknown if anyone was in the two-story home when the fire started.

15 Best Marathons for First-Timers to Run
Courtesy of Paris Marathon
For Vacation Goers
Sure, you want to run a marathon — but the Paris Marathon will also give you an excuse to tour the heart of the City of Light. Starting at the famed Champs-Elysees, the course runs by the Louvre, along the Seine, and past the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame Cathedral. It's one of the five biggest marathons in the world, with more than 30,000 finishers from 100+ countries last year. Still, it's a relatively flat route, making it a good one for novices. And no matter what your level, nothing beats post-race refueling with Parisian crepes.
Courtesy of Nike Women's Marathon
For the Well-Accessorized Runner
Benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, each year the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco hosts 22,500 women looking to take on a challenge for charity. If that's not a good enough incentive for you, what other race rewards you with a Tiffany & Co. finisher's necklace at the end? Oh, and did we mention they are handed out by firefighters? In tuxedos? We'll just leave it at that.
Courtesy of Le Marathon du Medoc
For Winos
Oenophiles, take note: Le Marathon du Medoc combines your love for tannins with your love for tarmac with a wine-inspired run through the Medoc region of France. Limited to 8,500 runners, the race winds through dozens of vineyards, with both red and white wine offered alongside water at aid stations. Not enough? Gourmet food like cheese and oysters are also offered at specific pit stops. We'd say that pacing yourself (in more ways than one) is a good call for this event.
Courtesy of Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series
For Rock Star Groupies
Runners, get your devil horns ready! Set up like a concert tour, the aptly named Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series hits 24 cities in the U.S. and Canada, and three in Europe, over the course of a year. True to its name, this race exudes musical spirit: Dozens of local live bands perform along the route, and a big-name headliner (past singers include Bret Michaels and Pit Bull) awaits you at the finish line.
Courtesy of Disney Princess Half Marathon
For Those Who Believe Fairy Tales Can Come True
Glass slippers not recommended: Held at Walt Disney Resort in Florida, the Disney Princess Half-Marathon is designed for a "girlfriends only" type of weekend (or, let's face it, very secure male companions). The 13.1-mile course winds through the Magic Kingdom and Epcot theme parks. For moral support, Mickey, Minnie, and the rest of your favorite Disney characters will be cheering you on as you make your way to the finish line to collect your tiara-shaped medal.
Courtesy of Little Rock Marathon
For the Girly Girl
The Little Rock Marathon in Arkansas attracts almost 10,000 participants each year, but ladies will be most inclined to lace up. In addition to live entertainment cheering you toward the finish line, there's a surprise incentive at mile 26 — a lipstick station, where runners can touch-up their pout for a perfect (if unnaturally so) finish-line photo. And those who appreciate a little bling won't be disappointed either, this marathon boasts a 7.75-x-6-inch finisher's medal — the world's largest.
Courtesy of Sparkasse 3-Laender Marathon
For the Jet Setter
One marathon, three countries, no passport needed. The Sparkasse 3-Laender Marathon and Half-Marathon begins on the island of Lindau, Germany, and from there you'll run along Lake Constance through the towns of Austria, then cross the finish line in Bregenz, Switzerland. Mountain views are on either side as you run over rivers, bridges, and alternating asphalt and cobblestone streets, but the marathon is blissfully flat, making this race a not-so-farfetched idea for even first-timers. Don't worry about a potential language barrier; runners report that even if your German is limited to little more than schnitzel and strudel, you'll still get by just fine with English.
Courtesy of Athens Classic Marathon
For the History Buff
Two thousand five hundred years ago, the Athenian messenger Pheidippides ran 24 miles to Athens to announce news of the Greek victory over the Persians in the Battle of Marathon. At the Athens Classic Marathon in Greece, you can run just a bit more — 26.2 miles in the full marathon, or the 10K or 5K — in his reported footsteps. The course is the same one used in the 2004 Olympic Games, with the finish line at Olympic Stadium. Runners will be pounding asphalt the whole way, but the course is relatively mild: A flat 12 kilometers in the beginning, gentle hills for the middle 19 kilometers, and downhill for the final 11 all the way to the finish line.
Courtesy of Space Coast Marathon
For an Out of This World Experience
Small in size (only 3,500 runners) but big in spirit, the Space Coast Marathon in Cocoa, Florida, is exactly what it sounds like: A space-themed run, inspired by the race's proximity to NASA headquarters. A Space Shuttle countdown and Shuttle liftoff on a jumbotron appropriately kicks off the race, and runners can either do a full or half-marathon that courses along the Indian River. Space props are visible along the route, and if you're thirsty, you can grab a cup of water from volunteers dressed in NASA uniforms at the water stations. Once you've finished orbiting and are ready to land, an astronaut medal and an electronic space certificate await you.
Courtesy of GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon
For Sightseers
If you want to see (not run on) rolling hills and picture-perfect scenery, consider the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon in Victoria, BC, which showcases Canada's natural beauty. The seaside route winds along the southern tip of the island, with the Olympic Mountain range visible in the distance. The course also gives runners a glimpse of city sights like the BC legislative buildings, Ogden Point, Beacon Hill Park, and the statue of Terry Fox at Mile '0.'
Though the Victoria Marathon is a Boston Marathon qualifier, the flat route is ideal for beginner runners. The marathon is also mindful of excessive crowding: only 4,000 will be allowed to participate in the marathon (and 6,800 for the half), so be sure to sign up early to claim your spot.
Courtesy of SunTrust Richmond Marathon
For Small-Town Gals
Running your first marathon may seem daunting, so there's no better first race to sign up for than Virginia's SunTrust Richmond Marathon, the course dubbed "America's Friendliest Marathon." It's all about small town hospitality and sights: the James River, statues of Confederate soldiers, and the Virginia Commonwealth University campus. Sure, there's also some unorthodox marathon perks in play (junk food pit stops?), but with a 7-hour time limit, maybe you've got some time to have a little fun.
Courtesy of Zazzle Bay to Breakers
For the Free-Spirited
Held in Northern California, the famed Zazzle Bay to Breakers is a tradition for both serious runners and, uh, more carefree ones, too. Starting just a few blocks from The Embarcadero in San Francisco, the 12K course runs through the city with the finish line ending near Ocean Beach, where the Pacific waves break on the coast. The event has a particularly festive vibe: Crazy costumes are a big draw of the race, colorful floats and alcohol were also allowed up until 2011, and the post-race celebration with live bands and entertainers is affectionately named Footstock. If you like the idea of running alongside a human-size SpongeBob SquarePants, this is the race for you.
Courtesy of Portland Marathon
For Eco-Runners
Considering that Portland, Oregon, is consistently named one of the greenest cities in the world, it should be no surprise that it also hosts one of the most environmentally friendly marathons in the country. Among other initiatives, the Portland Marathon uses recycled paper and biodegradable products when available, coordinates on-site recycling programs for the event, and limits the use of paper communications in favor of the Web — plus the race is conveniently reachable by public transportation. When you finish the race, in addition to your medal you can pick up a Portland rose and tree seedling to plant!
Humboldt Redwood Marathon
For Nature Junkies
For runners looking to tune into Mother Nature, the Humboldt Redwoods Marathon, Half-Marathon, and 5K is your jaunt. Though there are no showers or dressing facilities present, these minor inconveniences are vastly outweighed by the fact that you'll be running almost the entire distance under towering (seriously, towering — Redwoods can reach over 350 feet in height!) tree branch canopies in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in Arcata, California. If your race time suffers because you couldn't stop gazing upward, don't say we didn't warn you.
Courtesy of the Flying Pig Marathon
For Do-Good Trotters
Even though it's a qualifier for the Boston Marathon, the Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati is also one of the friendliest courses for first-timers. The first half of the course is relatively flat, and the organizers make it clear that walkers are also welcome. Held on the first Sunday of May every year, the race includes a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, and full marathon that crisscrosses the Ohio River and weaves by a number of historical landmarks. Added bonus: The organizer of the race, Cincinnati Marathon, Inc., is a nonprofit organization; so all proceeds go toward charity. That's two things you can feel good about when you cross the finish line.

extinction(redirected from of species)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia.
The failure of a gift of personal property—a bequest—or of real property—a devise—to be distributed according to the provisions of a decedent's will because the property no longer belongs to the testator at the time of his or her death or because the property has been substantially changed.
There are two types of ademption: by extinction and by satisfaction.
Ademption by extinction occurs when a particular item of Personal Property or specially designated real property is substantially changed or not part of the testator's estate when he or she dies. For example, a testator makes a will giving her farm to her nephew and a diamond watch to her niece. Before she dies, she sells the farm and loses the watch. The proceeds of the sale of the farm are traced to a bank account. After the testator's death, the nephew claims the proceeds from the sale and the niece claims that the executor of the estate should pay her the value of the diamond watch. Neither claim will be upheld. Once the farm is sold, the specific devise is adeemed by extinction. The proceeds from its sale are not its equivalent for inheritance purposes. In some states, however, if all of the proceeds had not yet been paid, the nephew would be entitled to receive the unpaid balance.
Since the testator no longer owns the diamond watch when she dies, that specific bequest is also adeemed by extinction.
Ademption by satisfaction takes place when the testator, during his or her lifetime, gives to his or her heir all or a part of the gift he or she had intended to give by his or her will. It applies to both specific bequests and devises as well as to a general bequest or legacy payable from the general assets of the testator's estate. If the subject of the gift made while the testator is alive is the same as the subject of a provision of the will, many states presume that it is in place of the testamentary gift if there is a parent-child or grandparent-grandchild relationship. Otherwise, an ademption by satisfaction will not be found unless there is independent evidence, such as express statements or writings, that the testator intended this to occur. A father makes a will leaving his ski house to his daughter and $25,000 to his son. Before death, he gives the daughter the deed to the ski house and he gives the son $15,000 with which to complete medical school. After the father's death, the daughter will get nothing, while the son will get $10,000.
After the son received the $15,000 from his father, there was an ademption by satisfaction of the general legacy of $25,000 to the extent of the size of the lifetime gift, $15,000. The son is entitled to receive the remaining $10,000 of the original general legacy. Since there was a parent-child relationship, there was no need for independent proof that the $15,000 gift was intended to adeem the gift under the will.

Launching a bullet sends a surge of energy in the opposite direction. We feel it as recoil. Boost bullet speed or weight, and recoil increases. Adding weight to a rifle reduces felt recoil because the mass absorbs the thrust. But shooting position also affects what you feel. If your body is free to "give" under recoil, it will hurt less. Stock dimensions matter too. A low, sharp comb can bang you mercilessly. A short length of pull gives the rifle a running start. A grip and forend that afford your hands little purchase let the rifle come back fast. A small, hard buttplate focuses and accentuates the thrust.
Uncomfortable recoil makes you flinch. Flinching makes you miss. No matter how big and tough you are, lively recoil gets your attention. If you're thinking about recoil or anticipating the rifle's kick, how can you focus on smooth execution of a shot? You can't.
Muzzle brakes mitigate recoil by bleeding gas through ports to the side as the bullet exits. But the noise and blast of a braked rifle can affect you as severely as the recoil. Without adequate ear protection, you'll sacrifice your hearing to muzzle brakes. At the range, ear-plugs and muffs (I use both) make brakes practical. In the field, you'll want to pick up slight noises. Solution: install a brake for routine practice, then replace it with a cap to cover the muzzle threads when you hunt. You'll probably not notice recoil when firing one shot at game.
Because felt recoil varies from rifle to rifle, and load to load, ranking cartridges by recoil energy is pointless. But you can easily determine the recoil thrust of your pet loads in your rifle:
KE=MV2/GC, where M is the rifle's mass and V is its velocity. GC is a gravitational constant for earth: 64.32. V= bullet weight (grs.)/7000 x bullet velocity (fps) + powder weight (grs.)/7000 x gas velocity (fps)/M.
Powder and gas figure in because as "ejecta" they contribute to recoil. Gas speed varies, but Art Alphin, in his A-Square loading manual, suggests 5200 fps as an average. The "7000" denominators convert grains to pounds so units make sense in the end.
For a 180-grain bullet fired with a 70-grain powder charge at 3000 fps from an 8 ½-pound .300 Magnum, the numbers line up like this:
180/7000 x 3000 + 70/7000 x 5200 = 8.5 x V. Simplified: (77.143 + 52)/8.5 = V = 15.19 fps.
The final formula: 8.5(15.19)2/64.32 = 30.49 ft.-lbs. of recoil.
If math either bores you or triggers high-school nightmares, you can scrounge recoil figures from tables, available from a variety of sources for common rifles and cartridges.
Some loads are unconscionably brutal. The .378 Weatherby hammers you with 90 ft.-lbs. that feel like a whack from a splitting maul. Lightweight rifles can be vicious, even with proper stocking. My 7 ½-pound .458 leaves cheek and clavicle begging for mercy. A 9-pound .30-06 delivers a civil 19 ft.-lbs. of recoil with a 180-grain bullet. A 7-pound '06 hits you with 25 – about as much as a 150-grain load in a 9-pound .300 Winchester.
To shoot well, use a rifle that doesn't beat you up. There's no glory in fighting recoil, or missing because you flinch.

Oregon wildfires force evacuation of 100 homes
PORTLAND, Oregon – Erin Rightbower was not surprised to see the sheriff's deputy pull up to the driveway with an evacuation notice. She was expecting him.
The family had started gathering their belongings -- including three birds and a dog -- when they saw the skies fill with smoke from the nearby Douglas Complex wildfires. The paperwork only affirmed the need to leave.
Rightbower thought to pack the clothes and her teenage kids thought to save the electronics. Her husband called his brother to come get his four-wheeler, if he wanted to keep it. Within 45 minutes of receiving Saturday's evacuation notice, the family was out the door to stay with friends.
The flames later came to within 80 feet of their driveway. Firefighters protected the house, but the trees -- firs and madrones -- were not so lucky.
"It's pretty darn charred," Rightbower said Monday. "The only plus about this fire is that we have hardly any poison oak left on our property. It burnt everything."
Late July and August is wildfire season in Oregon, and crews are battling six major fires.
Lightning late last week touched off dozens of fires in southwest Oregon near Glendale. Most of the small ones were contained, and some merged into larger fires that make up the Douglas Complex.
Those fires have burned 21,000 acres, or nearly 33 square miles, and were just 2 percent contained as of Monday afternoon. More than 100 houses have been evacuated and others are on evacuation alert.
Cheyne Rossbach, a fire spokesman, said a total of 400 homes are threatened, but none has burned. More than 1,000 firefighters and support staff have been assigned to fires that have scorched one outbuilding and two railroad trestles.
The weather helped firefighters Monday, with temperatures below 90 degrees and a decent amount of humidity.
Rightbower said evacuated residents were told at a community meeting Sunday that they might not be able to return home for a week. That's rough, she acknowledged, but at least the house is still there. The family put sprinklers on their roof, to dampen the land, but figured firefighters would not arrive quick enough to hold back the flames.
"We were really afraid we didn't have a house to come back to; that's how fast that fire was moving," said Rightbower, who cried when expressing her thanks for the firefighting effort.
Another fire being watched closely in southwest Oregon is the 870-acre Labrador Fire, burning near the Illinois River, about 12 miles northwest of Selma.
The fire, which has spread into the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, is in the same area as 2002's Biscuit Fire. Spokeswoman Virginia Gibbons said the fire is in steep terrain, and there's potential for explosive growth.
By the time it was contained, the Biscuit Fire scorched about 500,000 forest acres -- 780 square miles -- making it Oregon's largest wildfire since the 1800s. Last year, the Long Draw Fire in southeast Oregon surpassed that mark.

Darren Clarke had a smile on his face on a golf course again on Sunday afternoon – as he finally lifted the Claret Jug and the British Open title at Royal St George's in one of the great stories of Irish sport.
Five years after the Irish nation shed tears with Clarke at the K Club's Ryder Cup, just weeks after the death of his wife Heather to cancer, big Darren won his first Major.
Clarke followed his close friends Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell and Padraig Harrington into the record books as a Major winner with a three shot triumph at Sandwich.
His win was worth almost a million and a half dollars in prize money alone – and he banked a $3million bonus from clothing sponsors Dunlop for his first Major triumph.
Darren Clarke, overweight and a smoker, is golf's 'ordinary Joe' beloved by crowds
Darren Clarke says golf success due to being fat, new love in his life
It was fully deserved as Clarke led from start to finish on the final day of his 20th Open.
The highlight of his opening nine holes was a quite brilliant eagle on the par five seventh as he went to the turn.
He then held his composure as the raging winds and scattered showers battered the best golfers in the world and one by one the challengers from both sides of the Atlantic fell by the wayside as only four players finished under par.
Phil Mickelson had a peek at the winner's enclosure with a brilliant 30 shots on the front nine then collapsed on the run for home as he finished on two under and alongside Dustin Johnson in joint second.
Johnson was on Clarke's tail until he out his second into the out of bounds on the 14th and the Ulsterman extended his lead to three shots with four to play before he sealed the deal without a blemish.
The 42-year-old Clarke was greeted like the people's champion by the huge galleries on every one of those 70 shots in the final round as he made his way slowly but surely to the 18th hole coronation.
Now back living in his native Northern Ireland and engaged to former model Alison Campbell, Clarke finally tasted that Major Magic as Northern Ireland celebrated a third major in just 13 months.
Not even a bogey five on the 18th and a level par 70 could dampen Clarke's celebrations on the final green as he threw his arms to the heavens.
Manager Chubby Chandler then burst into tears as he hugged Clarke on the side of the 18th green before the trophy presentation.
Speaking to the BBC straight after the final putt of the 2011 Open Championship, Clarke revealed that his sons were watching at home in Portrush after an early morning round at the world famous links he now lives beside.
"It has been an emotional time – this win is for my boys," declared Darren as he followed Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell and Padraig Harrington into the Major winners' enclosure.
"Everybody goes through difficulties and stuff and I have had a really tough one but it is fine. My boys were watching at home in Portrush and this is for them.
"We will have a long celebration now and I will be very, very hungover"!
Clarke held his nerve throughout Sunday's win on a day when only four players finished under par for the tournament.
"It is all a bit of a daze but it is wonderful to have eventually won the Open and a first Major," said Clarke.
"I just played sensible all the way around and the eagle at seven was great."
Asked about winning the Open at his 20th attempt – a record – Clarke added:
"I guess I am a little bit different to everyone else but I always believed I could win it.
"I didn't think my time had come and gone. I always believed I would get myself back up here and I always believed I would challenge and win one and now I have. It is wonderful."Current US Open champion Rory McIlroy had to settle for a final round 73 and a seven over par title on his first competitive outing after winning at Congressional.
McIlroy even picked up a one shot penalty when his ball moved on the seventh green in a round and a tournament that just couldn't finish quickly enough for the 22-year-old.
"I'm not a fan of tournaments that the outcome is predicted so much by the weather - it's not my sort of golf," said a frank McIlroy afterwards.
"All the amateur tournaments I've won were played on links courses but they were all relatively calm. I'm looking forward to getting back to America and getting back into some nice conditions.
"That's the Open Championship and that's the way some years go. You either deal with the weather or just wait for a year when it's nice.
"My game is suited for basically every golf course and most conditions, but these conditions I just don't enjoy playing in really.
"That's the bottom line. I'd rather play when it's 80 degrees and sunny and not much wind."
Ominously, McIlroy added: "There's no point in changing your game for one week a year.
"I'm going to spend a few days at home now getting my swing back to where it needs to be. The wind sort of messes it up a little bit."

NCAA Football Preview - ULM WarhawksAug 23, 2013 - 6:17 PM Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) -
2012 SEASON IN REVIEW: Under third-year head coach Todd Berry, ULM experienced its best season since joining the FBS in 2012, going 8-5 overall while finishing second in the Sun Belt Conference with a mark of 6-2.
The Warhawks stunned the college football world in their opener on Sept. 8 by defeating No. 8 Arkansas in Little Rock, 34-31 in overtime, marking the program's first-ever win over a ranked opponents and the first win over a top-10 opponent in Sun Belt Conference history. The squad finished the month of September by suffering hard-fought losses at Auburn (31-28 in OT) and versus Baylor (47-42), before dismantling Tulane (63-10).
ULM's success continued in Sun Belt play with four straight wins to open the conference slate, and while it suffered setbacks to Louisiana (40-24) and Arkansas State (45-23) in early November, it closed out the regular season with a pair of wins over North Texas (42-16) and FIU (23-17 in OT).
The team was invited to the Independence Bowl for its first-ever bowl appearance, although it fell to Ohio University in a 45-14 final.
OFFENSE: ULM showed explosive tendencies on offense a season ago, scoring 33.8 ppg behind 432.8 ypg, and more of the same should be expected in 2013 with eight starters back in place.
The key to the Warhawks' success this season undoubtedly lies on the shoulders of quarterback Kolton Browning, who was outstanding as a junior with 3,049 yards on 63.8 percent efficiency, tossing 29 touchdowns against only 10 interceptions. He was also the team's leading rusher with 488 yards, adding seven more scores on the ground. All that production came while missing the better part of two games with a foot injury, so it's no surprise that Browning was named the conference's Preseason Offensive Player of the Year.
Browning won't have the luxury of throwing to Brent Leonard this year (104 rec, 1118 yards, 10 TDs), but Je'Ron Hamm (65 rec, 915 yards, six TDs) and Tavarese Maye (56 rec, 612 yards, four TDs) are stellar options in their own right.
Jyruss Edwards appeared in just eight games in 2012 and rushed for 438 yards and six touchdowns. Both he and Browning will benefit from playing behind an experienced offensive line that returns four starters.
DEFENSE: One of the biggest reasons ULM couldn't hold on to first place in the conference standings down the stretch last year was due to its poor defense (29.2 ppg, 418.8 ypg), but the unit actually remains more in tact than the offense by welcoming back nine starters.
Although the defense struggled for the most part, it showed plenty of big-play potential, racking up 24 sacks, 16 interceptions, 10 fumble recoveries and two blocked kicks. The return of Ray Stovall (63 tackles, 13.5 TFL, three sacks), Isaiah Newsome (57 tackles, four picks), Cordero Smith (71 tackles, one interception), Rob'Donovan Lewis (69 tackles, two picks, two FR) and Vincent Eddie (68 tackles, one pick) should all but ensure a better defensive effort in 2013.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Justin Manton, who served as both the kicker and the punter a year ago, is back for his junior season. He averaged nearly 40 yards per punt with 19 placed inside the 20-yard line, but he had a lackluster season in terms of kicking field goals (5-of-9, three blocked).
Cortney Davis (34 kick returns for 748 yards in 2012) will likely be the top option in the return game.
OUTLOOK: ULM put together an outstanding season in 2012, and had it not been for Browning's untimely injury in November, it could have been much better. With most of the team's core returning this season, it's no surprise that it was chosen along with Arkansas State as the No. 1 team in the Sun Belt Preseason Poll.
"We like that (being the favorite)," Browning said. "We like the target on our back. Last year, we started off in conference really well. Kind of lost a couple in a row, but we came back and finished strong. With 17, 18 starters returning, that's big for us. We're excited about that."
"This is the first time that we have a senior- and junior-dominated team," Berry added. "There's no question that we've built for this season. We do have the most cumulative starters coming back of anybody in the country. We've got a lot of guys that have played a lot of football."
With the exception of maybe Antonio Andrews from Western Kentucky, there's no better playmaker than Browning in the Sun Belt, and as long as he stays upright for a full season, the Warhawks will be in contention for the league title and, at the very least, another bowl appearance.
No one has shouted yet.
Be the first!
Be the first!

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—A dominant pitching effort from junior starter Blake Stevens and senior Miles Nordgren stymied the batters of visiting LaGrange College and helped earn the Birmingham-Southern baseball team a 1-0 win in 10 innings on opening day of the 2014 campaign, Friday afternoon at Striplin Field.
The tandem, which did not allow a LaGrange runner past second all afternoon, combined to surrender only four hits and no walks. Stevens struck out nine batters in his seven innings of work. Nordgren earned the win after facing only eleven batters in three innings of relief.
After a scoreless first nine innings, the Panther offense found its rhythm with a lead-off double down the left field line from junior Jacob Mayfield. A passed ball during the following at-bat landed Mayfield at third. LaGrange then issued two consecutive intentional passes, one to junior David Bourbonnais and then to senior Jeremy Hatley, to load the bases with no outs. A single from sophomore Matt Brown in the next at-bat plated Mayfield to notch the 1-0 extra-innings victory.
Birmingham-Southern will hit the road Sunday for a twin bill against LaGrange in LaGrange, Ga. The first game is scheduled for a 2 p.m. Eastern first pitch.

AUGUSTA, Maine — Lawmakers propose to temporarily increase the sales tax by a half a percent and the meals and lodging tax by 1 percent in order to balance the state budget for the next two years and blunt some of the cuts proposed by Gov. Paul LePage.
The tax increases were supported early Friday morning by unanimous votes of the Legislature's Appropriations Committee, which convened in public session at 5:30 a.m. after negotiating through the night. The $178 million in revenue generated by the tax increases, which are set to sunset in June 2015, will allow lawmakers to restore $125 million of the $200 million suspension of municipal revenue sharing proposed by Gov. Paul LePage and give raises to state employees who haven't seen pay bumps in more than four years.
The committee's decisions on Friday constitute recommendations to the full Legislature, which seeks to enact the budget prior to adjournment on June 19.
Committee members also opted to reverse LePage's proposed cut of the homestead exemption program and replace the circuit breaker program with a "property tax fairness" exemption that will kick in automatically when people file their state taxes. Other programs for which funding was restored by the committee include the low-cost drugs to the elderly program; general assistance; Head Start; Women, Work and Community; and other job training programs.
"These are programs that are very important to us and we were glad we were able to put some money into them to keep them strong," said Rep. Peggy Rotundo, D-Lewiston, who co-chairs the committee.
The committee also approved spending more on public education to bring funding to the level it was in the current biennium before LePage cut $35.5 million from the overall budget late last year due to the slack economy. The additional education funding will be accomplished by reversing a proposal by LePage for municipalities to pay half the cost of teacher retirement plus adding $13 million in casino revenue to general purpose aid to education.
Sen. Emily Cain, D-Orono, moved language into the budget bill that requires the state to add 1 percent to the state's share of essential programs and services in 2015. EPS is the formula that's used to fund public schools. Cain said the initiative is meant to move the state toward funding 55 percent of the total cost of K-12 public education.
The committee also approved spending nearly $9 million over the biennium to restore longevity and merit pay for state employees.
"I think this goes a long way to acknowledging the challenges of recruitment and retention in the state workforce," said Cain. "We recognize that it's not everything but it is a step in the right direction."
The budget compromise represents a victory for Democrats who were told by Republicans over the past few days that tax increases would not have their support, though it still must gain two-thirds support in both chambers of the Legislature to be enacted by July 1. LePage also could veto all or portions of the budget.
"I know this has been a very tough budget for all of us," said Rep. Katherine Chase, R-Wells, who on Wednesday said her caucus would not support tax increases. "It's painfully apparent that the economic woes haven't really gone by the wayside, and we're still in the midst of them. As a result we have to deal with cuts and some of them after this many years are no longer acceptable. … I would hope that the people of Maine would understand that you're helping the elderly keep their drugs, helping the good employees of the state of Maine get recognition for their good work and giving funding back to the towns that we all come from so that property taxes won't increase as much as they would have."

Chicago Illinois This 42,000 square foot new construction charter high school is designed to be used in conjunction with the adjacent Gary Comer Youth Center, located in the Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago. The two-story structure is comprised of classrooms, a lecture room, and administrative offices. The school shares facilities with the adjacent Youth Center: gymnasium, cafeteria, music rooms, art rooms, and computer lab space.
The new charter high school building is meant to form a campus with the existing youth center, yet retain its own identity. Similar materials are employed to bind the two structures into one unified campus, including corrugated stainless steel siding, and aluminum composite panels. A large glazed lobby space in the new school allows views of the youth center from both levels; a stone walkway provides access for students walking between the two buildings.

These days, there aren't many teams with great chemistry, however, there are many teams with several great players.
A team with great chemistry is a team that sticks together during thick and thin, good times and bad times. It's a team that plays together, wins together, and looses together. It's a team that works well together, on and off the field. It's a team that copes with both failiure and success, TOGETHER.
While a team with great players is a team with the Sachins, the Pontings, the Laras, the Imrans, the Devs, the Warnes....etc etc, you get the point. It's a team which, no doubt, are tigers on paper.
But now lies a question which I so deeply seek the answer of, what is better?
As far as my opinion goes, my uncle once said, "Take a pack of thick sticks and spread them apart and try breaking them together at once." I tried and eventually I succeeded, then he asked me to take a pack of thin sticks and pack them tightly together and try breaking them. To my surprise, I failed.
But what do you guys think is what I want to know!

Cambridge, Mass. – For the second consecutive week, a UMBC sophomore has earned America East Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week honors. Melker Svard (Gothenburg, Sweden) won all three of his matches over the weekend, leading the Retrievers to victories over George Mason and Drexel and earned the league's honor.
Svard improved to 8-2 on the season at the No. 2 position in singles play with a pair of wins over George Mason and Drexel. He only dropped two games in a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Jimmy Lange of George Mason and combined with Justin Carter (Randallstown, Md./National Connections Acad.) in an 8-2 victory at No. 1 doubles versus the Patriots.
The second-year player fought off some resistance, but defeated Xabier Saavedra, 6-3, 7-5 at the No. 2 position at Drexel.
UMBC's Eliott Loubatie (Paris, France) captured the award last week.
The 9-3 Retrievers head west to Nevada-Reno for matches versus the host school, Seattle and Sacramento State before returning home to face George Washington on March 23.

Kolocova and Slukova crowned as Berlin smart Grand Slam champions
Kolocova and Slukova had never won a World Tour medal before until they claimed first place in their home town Prague a few weeks ago. It was the first women's World Tour gold for the Czech Republic ever.
"We still think we are dreaming, we can't believe it", said Slukova. "The one in Prague, it was different, it was at home and it was an Open, someone could say not all the top teams were there. But now we are standing here as Grand Slam winners. It feels amazing, I can't believe it. I am just so proud of us that we made it."
After a clear win for the Czechs in the first set, the Brazilians came to win the second. In the tiebreak strong serving Slukova started out with some winner serves to get them a 5-1-lead.
The Czechs held on to that lead while both team entertained the crowd on Washingtonplatz with some great rallies, and had their first match point at a comfortable 14-10. It took them two more to claim the crown, when Brazil served out at 14-12.
"Again it was the service, especially Marketa's today", said Kolocova about the key to their victory. "The Brazilians did not receive that well and they had side-out problems. They could not find a way to defend me."
Kolocova started the match on painkillers because of a spasm in her back, but had some incredible digs anyway. "I could not produce a hundred percent, but still somehow I made it. I think that pissed them off. I think they maybe thought it would be an easy win for them against a team like us in the final."
Antonelli and Juliana finished second for the third time this year, after winning silver at the Fuzhou Open and Puerto Vallarta Open this year. Juliana won the Berlin event in 2012, finished 2nd in 2007 and in 2005 (World Championships) and third in 2008 with her former teammate Larissa Franca.
"Very hard, silver", said Juliana. "But I'll wait to win a gold medal again and in the meantime I have to work harder. We played 75 percent and you need a 100 percent or even 200 percent at this level."
Berlin bronze for home team Borger/Büthe
Borger/Büthe Karla Borger and Britta Büthe set aside their disappointment about the lost semifinal and claimed the bronze medal. With the huge support of the centre court crowd the German team defeated Shanghai's silver medallists Fan Wang and Yuan 2-0 (21-10, 21-19).
It was only their second FIVB medal after they won silver at the World Championships in Stare Jablonki last year. They missed out on the podium at the Prague Open this year, finishing fourth.
"The Chinese gave up relatively early in the first set, but it got close in the second", said Büthe. Fan Wang and Yue came back to 19-19 in the second part, but the Germans stayed calm and finished the match on their first match point.
"It was a great match", said Borger. "We had a lot of fun. In the end there were a lot of people watching and that gave us wings. Against the Chinese we have a lot of close games before, and that motivated us to win. Podium is podium and we are very happy with our bronze in Berlin."
Büthe: "It makes us really proud to go home with a bronze medal, that we won in our favourite city, and that our family, friends and fans came out to the centre court all week to support us."

Audio podcast:
In conjunction with the launch of a Culture Intelligence analytics suite
Culture networks historically have spun narrative for how we live. Think about it. After WWII, an emerging American middle class decided to expand its options for commerce and camaraderie, so they built highways and a networked culture of early suburbanites was born.
But when we talk about networks today, we see only the technology system that supports the network, not the human structure. It's the structure and process behind the human connections that's critical.
The structure empowered by technology allows likeminds to connect, thrive and make global impact -- no matter how micro. Not too long ago, rave culture leveraged digital networks and pioneered podcast. And, more recently, the Tea Party leveraged digital networks to make its stand. Without technology, we might have dismissed the movement as laggard.
To understand where we go next means we need to evolve our perspective on how we look at the systems and unlock the human codes that drive them. If we do not, culture will leverage system decline before we know what's happening, much like graffiti leveraged the decline of cities and skate culture leveraged the decline of suburbia.

New Zealand should fix its election date in law. Otherwise, John Key needs to tell us when the 2011 election will be held ... and soon.
On Monday I had the pleasure (and I'm not being sarcastic here - it genuinely was a pleasant experience) of talking to Parliament's Electoral Legislation Committee for the best part of an hour about the bills to set up the 2011 referendum on MMP and to reform campaign funding practices.
I was speaking to my written submissions, which are available here. A couple of the points that I raised then caught some attention in the media. One was my (probably futile) recommendation that there be spending caps on everyone wanting to campaign in relation to either the referendum or the general election in 2011. The other was my call for the election date to be fixed in law.
With respect to this latter issue, what wasn't made so clear in subsequent reports was the reasoning behind the suggestion. After all, the question of when an election is held seems (on the face of it) to have little to do with how much people can spend on campaigning. So what gives?
In New Zealand, we traditionally have limited the amount that candidates and (since 1995) political parties may spend on advertising their campaigns in the 3 months prior to election day. The Electoral Finance Act 2007 extended this "regulated period" out to the beginning of the election year - as well as putting limits on what so-called "third parties" (i.e. non-candidates or parties) could spend on election advertising. But following the 2008 election, those new rules were quickly repealed by all the parties in Parliament (except the Greens) - raising the question of what rules we should have instead.
I've posted previously on the Government's initial proposals for change in this area. What wasn't included in those proposals was any suggestion that the traditional 3 month regulated period would be changed. But when the Bill entered the House, it contained a new clause proposing to change the regulated period so as to prevent it from applying retrospectively.
(Rather than try my own explanation of how it works, I'll just pinch David Farrar's: "The bill defines the default day (with the regulated period starting the next day) as three months before the latest possible date an election could be called. If the PM announces an election date prior to the default day, then the regulated period starts the day after the PMs announcement, unless the announcement is made more than three months before the election, in which case it is from three months out.")
I can see why this change got made. The problem with applying a three-month period of regulation pre-election day is that elections in New Zealand often get called with less than three months notice, meaning that advertising spending that took place before the election was called suddenly gets deemed to be an "election expense". In the past, political parties have been able to manage this problem (as they have spending caps in the millions of dollars), while candidates also have survived (albeit with a bit more difficulty, given their quite tight $20,000 advertising limits).
But as the new Bill proposes to require "third parties" to register before spending more than $12,000 on election advertising, they potentially could be stung by having their advertising spending retrospectively deemed to be an election expense. For example, let's say Forest and Bird spent $50,000 on urging the public to pressure the Government not to mine National Parks a couple of weeks before an early election was called. That spending subsequently could be deemed to be an "election expense", and thus Forest and Bird will have committed an offence by undertaking it without registering with the Electoral Commission.
Furthermore, there are whispers that the regulation of parliamentary funding finally is to be brought into line with the regulation of general electoral spending - meaning that MPs could find their routine use of things like their communication budgets to communicate with their constituents suddenly get deemed an "election expense".
So in order to avoid such unfair or unforeseeable consequences, the regulated period will be made purely prospective in application. All well and good ... except that it isn't. Here are the problems.
First, where an election is held at the "usual" time in November, the particular way that the regulated period is defined under the current Bill will in practice lead to it becoming much shorter. So candidates and political parties will be able to spend as much as before on their campaign advertising, but over a shorter period of time - which is the equivalent of substantially loosening the spending controls on these participants.
I don't think that's what the Government intended. At least, I hope it's not - because to do so would be contrary to the views of the majority of people who submitted to the electoral finance reform consultation process. And the problem can largely be fixed by deeming "default day" to fall 2 years, 9 months after the last election day (rather than 90 days before the "last possible day" for an election). So if that were the only issue involved, it would simply be a case of substituting a new definition.
But the bigger problem arises where an early election gets called at relatively short notice (as happened in 2002 and 1984). Because here the "regulated period" will start only when the election is called - which in 2002 was 46 days before election day, and in 1984 was a mere 30 days in advance. Furthermore, the fact that only the Prime Minister and his (or her) party knows when the election will be called, and thus the regulated period begins, confers a considerable potential advantage. The incumbent party could engage in a swift, expensive advertising blitz, then call an early election and thereby restrict how much the opposition can spend in response (while still being able to spend up to the cap itself).
Which is where the idea of fixing the election date in law comes in. For if the election day was specified in advance for all to see, with a fixed 90-day/3 month period of regulated spending preceding it, then any partisan advantage would be nullified. And why should the Prime Minister even have the effective power to decide what day we get to vote on? (In formal terms it is the Governor General who dissolves Parliament and calls an election, but by constitutional convention he or she only will do so on the advice of the Prime Minister.) It seems more a hangover of practices past than a rule that has good reasons to recommend it.
Furthermore, New Zealand law already places limits on when an election may be held. Under the Electoral Act 1993, s.139(1)(b) it has to be on a Saturday. So why not go that extra step and say not only that it must be a Saturday, but that it must be this particular Saturday?
That, then, is the reason for raising the issue of fixed election dates in the context of campaign finance reform. I happen to think the idea is a good one in any case, for reasons much like Colin James outlined here. But given the concerns that inevitably get created when the Government is proposing to change our electoral finance laws in a way that might serve its own interests - concerns we've had enough of after the whole Electoral Finance Act 2007 saga - the reasons for fixing the election day have just gotten much stronger.
Of course, there is another way that any suspicions could be put to rest. If the Electoral Legislation Committee decides not to recommend fixing the election date in law, and decides to stick with a definition of the regulated period that begins with the Prime Minister's announcement of the election date, then John Key could end any fear that he intends gaming the system by announcing the 2011 election date during the Bill's second reading debate. That would trigger a regulated period beginning 90 days/3 months before that date. And it would mean everyone would start that campaign on an even footing.

Melbourne coach Paul Roos admits it could have been the latest in a long line of AFL hidings for the Demons.
Instead, he was hailing his players' guts and focus after they roared back in the second half to beat Essendon by one point.
As the 12.6 (78) to 10.17 (77) scoreline indicates, the Bombers only had themselves to blame.
Essendon won the key inside 50s statistic by a whopping 69-36.
But after the Bombers broke the game open early in the third term to lead by 33 points, Melbourne hunkered down and wrested control from them.
"They should have put us away, we certainly dodged a bullet at halftime," Roos said.
"I think we only had 11 inside 50s and we were playing pretty poorly.
"Full credit to our guys, it could have easily been a 70, 80-point loss.
"We were pretty fortunate, but to come back and really compete and give yourself a chance to win, I think that was a significant step forward.
"But then to win was really exciting."
Melbourne did not hit the front until midway through the last quarter, when Dean Kent took three bounces and kicked an outstanding goal.
Roos called it the best goal he has seen this season.
David Zaharakis then kicked two of his four goals to put Essendon back in front.
Brent Stanton had another shot, but Melbourne defender Lynden Dunn capped his best-afield performance by rushing it through for a behind.
With just over a minute left, Melbourne were magnificent as they took the ball from their back pocket to the other end of the ground.
First-year player Christian Salem marked and coolly kicked the biggest goal of his life, with the Demons then holding on for the win.
Essendon coach Mark Thompson kept his players behind closed doors for 45 minutes post-match.
He insisted the lengthy review had nothing to do with the club's well-documented off-field dramas and everything to do with the way they are playing.
Asked what was discussed, Thompson said: "kicking, structures, stoppages, shots at goal, defensive skills, handballing, everything."
Thompson added if Essendon had won by five points or lost by 10 points, he would have been equally unhappy given the way they played.
"I'm not upset that we lost – I'm upset with the inconsistency and the way we go about some games," he said.
Thompson has accused some players of doing what they want and added other teammates are letting them get away with it.

Game #11: Twins and Jays postgame
Roy Halladay 4 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K, 11 BF, 7 GO, 36 pitches (23 strikes)
Halladay is a baseball writer's best friend. The guy is about as steady as you can get, and works so dang quick. On Sunday, he threw 11 pitches in the first (man, he was struggling — sarcasm), and then 8 in the second, 8 in the third and 9 in the fourth. Halladay is also an infielder's best friend:
"I love it. It keeps me in the game," said shortstop Royce Clayton, who scooped up four of the seven grounders Halladay induced. "It keeps everybody sharp and you're ready. His pace is great. He doesn't take a lot of time. He gets the ball, makes his pitches, and tries to get contact early. That's the key to getting deep into the ballgames."
Clayton couldn't have been more dead on. Over the past five seasons, games that Halladay has started has lasted an average of 2 hours, 37 minutes. That's the second-fastest average by any Major League over that span. Only White Sox lefty Mark Buehrle ranks better.
Halladay stuck mainly with his sinker and changeup again on Sunday. He also threw four curves. Halladay said he's confident in the break and the location of his curve, he just wants to build up more arm strength before throwing 20 each time out. He threw another six curves in the bullpen after his start.
No cut fastball yet, though. Excessive use of that pitch wound up sidelining Halladay in September with a right forearm strain. So he's holding off on using it much right now. He's started throwing it in the bullpen during side sessions, but it might be another start or two before he works the cutter into a game.

Buerhle pitches so quick that the camera doesn't have a chance to cut away. LOL! He doesn't get quick outs as often as Doc tho.
There was a Doc vs Buerhle matchup a few years back, it lasted 2 hours and a few minutes! I felt ripped off for having such a short game! LOL
I must say im pretty impressed with Jason Smith's numbers so far this spring. For bring brought over as a defensive guy, he is putting up really good offensive numbers. Hopefully he can carry this into the regular season. He could be a very valuable player over the course of the 162 game season.

The recent revelation that the 80-year-old son of Hildebrand Gurlitt, an art dealer enlisted by the Nazis, was keeping a trove of Nazi-looted art in his Munich apartment, has sent the world into an uproar. It also made CMC professor Jonathan Petropoulos's phone ring off the hook, as one of the world's leading experts on Nazi-looted art. First photos of the collection, believed to be worth more than $1 billion, reveal that the stash found in Cornelius Gurlitt's home includes masterpieces by Picasso, Renoir, Matisse and Chagall.
The story broke last Sunday in German magazine Focus, and is being reported on across the world, with many questioning why the stash––actually found over a year ago––wasn't made public sooner. The forthcoming release of the star-powered feature film The Monuments Men, directed by George Clooney, has added another timely layer of public interest in the discovery.
In a day's work earlier this week, Petropoulos juggled several interviews while administering a mid-term, including two foreign newspaper interviews, and interviews (both televised and print) for Reuters, as well as an appearance on PBS NewsHour. By the next day, the media queue included the Los Angeles Times, NPR's "On Point with Tom Ashbrook," a sit-down in his office with an Austrian television station, and, over his lunch hour, a chat with the German Press Agency. This was in addition to interviews with the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and BBC News. Among
Petropoulos's works on the subject: The Faustian Bargain: The Art World in Nazi Germany (New York: Oxford University Press, 2000) and Art as Politics in the Third Reich (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1996).
Petropoulos, who is the John V. Croul Professor of European History, has been quoted in news outlets worldwide.

The potential for an increased risk of depression among new mothers who deploy and are exposed to combat experience is presented in a study published in Journal of Women's Health, a peer-reviewed publication from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the Journal of Women's Health website.
Stacie Nguyen, MPH and coauthors from the Millennium Study Team, San Diego State University and Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton, California, and Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD, analyzed data collected as part of a large study to assess the long-term health of U.S. military personnel. The article "Is Military Deployment a Risk Factor for Maternal Depression?" describes the findings for 1,660 women who gave birth during active duty service.
Women who deployed and reported combat experience after giving birth were at increased risk for depression compared to women who did not deploy after childbirth. Among women who deployed with combat exposure, those who had given birth did not have a significantly increased risk for depression compared to those who had not, suggesting that the risk was related more to combat than to factors related to childbirth.
"With increasing numbers of women in the military and being exposed to combat experiences, it is critical for us to better understand maternal depression among our female service members," says Susan G. Kornstein, MD, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Women's Health, Executive Director of the Virginia Commonwealth University Institute for Women's Health, Richmond, VA, and President of the Academy of Women's Health.

Voice over IP
The Basics
Get an overview of Voice over IP, and learn how it can save money, improve security, and provide a variety of other communications benefits.
What is voice over IP? How is it different from unified communications? And how can it help your business?
Voice over IP and Internet Protocol (IP) telephony are becoming increasingly popular with companies and consumers alike. Voice over IP provides your business with a foundation for more advanced unified communications applications - including web and video conferencing - that can transform the way you do business.
Benefits of Voice over IP
Voice over IP and unified communications allow you to:
- Reduce travel and training costs, through web and video conferencing.
- Easily grow your phone system as needed.
- Have one phone number ring simultaneously on multiple devices, helping employees stay connected to each other and to customers.
- Reduce your phone charges.
- Use a single network for voice and data, simplifying management and reducing costs.
- Access your phone system's features at home or at client offices, airports, hotels, or anywhere else there is a broadband connection.
Voice over IP Useful Terms
- Voice over IP refers to a way to carry phone calls over an IP data network, whether on the Internet or your own internal network. A primary benefit of Voice over IP is its ability to reduce expenses, since telephone calls travel over the data network rather than the phone company's network.
- IP telephony encompasses the full suite of Voice over IP-enabled services, including the interconnection of phones for communications, related services such as billing and dialing plans, and basic features that can include conferencing, transfer, forward, and hold.
- IP communications supports features such as unified messaging, integrated contact centers, and multimedia conferencing with voice, data, and video.
- Unified communications takes IP communications further by using such technologies such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), along with mobility solutions, to unify and simply all forms of communications, independent of location, time, or device.
Voice over IP Services
Voice over IP is available in a wide variety of services. Some basic and free Voice over IP services require all parties to be at their computers to make or receive calls. Others support calling from a traditional telephone handset or even a cell phone to any other phone.
Voice over IP Equipment
For Voice over IP, you need a broadband Internet connection, plus a traditional phone and an adapter, or a Voice over IP-enabled phone, or Voice over IP software on your computer.
Voice over IP Security and Service Quality
Most consumer Voice over IP services use the public Internet for phone calls. But many businesses are using Voice over IP and unified communications on their private networks. That's because private networks provide stronger security and service quality than the Internet.
Voice over IP Compared to Unified Communications
Unified communications systems offer more features and benefits than Voice over IP. It brings together all forms of communication regardless of location, time or device. Faxes, email, and voicemail are all delivered to a single inbox. You can integrate your phone and customer relationship management (CRM) systems to improve your customer service, and much more.
