YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. – The Georgia College women's basketball team (13-4, 6-4 PBC) had its two-game winning streak snapped by Young Harris College (12-4, 7-2 PBC), 59-45 Saturday afternoon at the YHC Basketball Arena. The 45-Bobcat points were a season low as Georgia College suffered only its second loss on the road this season.
Junior Shanteona Keys (Roswell, Ga.) was the game's only double-digit scorer with 11 points, while adding a team-high six boards. Junior Enisha Donley (Loganville, Ga.) added eight points, while freshman LaRice Walker (Franklin, Ga.) scored seven to go with a team-high five assists. Senior Thresia Elskamp (Potosi, Wis.) also scored seven and added five boards. Senior Abby Slocumb (Suwanee, Ga.) had a game-high three blocks placing her at No. 5 on the Georgia College all-time blocks list with 92. She surpassed Marquita Driskell (05-07).
Things started out promising for the Bobcats as Elskamp buried a three less than a minute into the contest that gave Georgia College a lead it wouldn't relinquish until about six minutes left in the opening half. The Mountain Lions went on an 11-point run to go up 20-15 and never looked back. Young Harris College took a seven-point lead into the intermission at 27-20.
In the second half, the Mountain Lions went on runs of five-, seven-, and six-points, respectively, to seal the win. The Bobcats were out-rebounded 30-44, and matched a season-low in shooting percent from the floor at .304.
The Mountain Lions had no double-digit scorers, but all 10 participants had at least a point. Breanna Gleason led Young Harris College with eight points. Peyton Robertson, Lauren Smith, and Ladondra Johnson scored eight apiece with the latter adding a game-high 14 boards. Smith added to her conference lead in assists with a game-high seven, while Kaycee Cash added seven boards. Mountain Lion head coach Brenda Paul earned her 500th collegiate win with her team on a roll winning eight of their last nine.
The Bobcats' next matchup will be against Clayton State University Wednesday, Jan. 29 for a Peach Belt Conference (PBC) tilt starting at 5:30 p.m. at the Centennial Center.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level.

Eclipse Phase disproves the need for DRM
So, I haven't been around these parts much lately — Kris and I have been busy launching Astrek Association, our Firefall fansite and blog. I'll have more to say about Firefall later, but for now, I wanted to talk about a very interesting Kickstarter.
A couple of weeks ago, Greenheart Games was all over the news for their indie tycoon game, Game Dev Tycoon. In order to prove a point about piracy, Greenheart's Patrick Klug seeded a cracked version of the game to various torrent sites, with a twist: the cracked version became unplayable after a certain amount of time, thanks to in-game piracy destroying your revenue. Cute, but ultimately it felt like a bitter stunt instead of a genuine opportunity — it was just an opportunity to lecture people about piracy, instead of looking for a way to convert pirates into customers.
I much prefer the approach taken by Posthuman Studios, publishers of the hit pen-and-paper RPG Eclipse Phase. I've talked about Eclipse Phase before, as a setting I'd love to see as an MMO, but it's also a fantastic (and award-winning) tabletop game. Eclipse Phase is set in a high-tech post-apocalyptic future where humanity has abandoned Earth and spread throughout the solar system, and it covers everything from transhumanism, horror and conspiracy to straight-up sci-fi adventure.
And what makes Eclipse Phase really special, IMO, is Posthuman's approach to its customers and fans. Eclipse Phase is licensed under Creative Commons, which means that fans can freely hack the game, modify it, post their work online, and even share the entire game with anyone they think might like it. Hell, Posthuman themselves even seeded the full core book to various file-sharing and torrent sites.
And it's worked. Despite being available for free, with no stigma of piracy and active publisher encouragement to share copies of the PDF, players and fans of the game have been happily handing over their money both for PDF and hardcopy books ever since Eclipse Phase first launched. In the words of Adam Jury, a Posthuman Studios founder,
[N]o publishing company can successfully fight piracy. The RIAA hasn't, the MPAA hasn't. Piracy is going to happen unless we say "nope, you can't pirate our stuff, cuz we'll just let you give it out!" — and that makes the file-sharers like us and buy from us. I don't think pirates are evil and immoral people. I know many people who pirate many things and these people also buy many things. They just tend to buy only things they already like. So, of course, giving away your material will only work if your material is good quality!
I'd much rather have someone read our game for free and not like it than buy our game and not like it. In the first case, they're only out their time. In the second case, they're out time and money and are more likely to resent us and/or not buy any other games we may release.
Furthermore, Creative Commons isn't just about "downloading for free;" it's about giving fans permission to hack our content and distribute those hacks. Permission to do the things that gamers naturally do, without fear of lawsuits or complex legalese or requiring our approval. Our fans have built and distributed complex character generation spreadsheets, customized GM Screens, converted our books into ePub/mobi format, and all sorts of neat things. When they do things like this, that gives us guidance as to what we should be doing: because fans aren't just saying they want something, they're putting their time where their mouth is … a strong indication that they and other fans would be willing to pay for those things if we produced them.
This has always struck me as both a smart business decision and a humane one, and Eclipse Phase's success has proved that it's the right way to go. Treat people with respect, and it pays off. There is no need for gamers to pay for Eclipse Phase, but they do, because people are willing to pay for what they like.
And this point is proved with Transhuman, the Eclipse Phase Player's Guide (and next EP release). This is the first Eclipse Phase Kickstarter and it's been handled with Posthuman's typical approach to operating their business. Transhuman is in Open Playtesting, so Kickstarter customers can check out the book before they pledge. The pledge rewards packages are generous and well-considered bundles. And one of the early Stretch Goals was to give Transhuman's freelance contributors a 15% pay raise – a very humane and generous offer in an industry where freelancers (and most creators) earn very little for their work.
It probably comes as no surprise that Transhuman reached its funding goal in twelve hours and is at 530% of its goal as I write this. The success of Eclipse Phase's business model is a counterpoint to – and lesson for – publishers in any industry. Treat your customers with respect, don't assume they're going to rip you off, don't try to wring every cent out of them, and sell them a quality product: your customers will become fans, and they'll throw money at you.
As a postscript, I encourage you all to check out the Transhuman Kickstarter. If you're interested in pen-and-paper games or simply good science fiction, a twenty dollar pledge will net you the Eclipse Phase RPG and the Transhuman Player's Guide in PDF format, and there are a range of other pledge rewards offering more of the Eclipse Phase product line as well. Frankly, I'd have given them money even if I weren't a fan of Eclipse Phase, because I strongly believe that their approach to business is the right one, and I think that deserves my support. And the more success enjoyed by Eclipse Phase and other games like it, the more likely other publishers are to sit up and take notice, and accept that you don't have to treat your customers like criminals to make money.
Note: There's just over four days left on the Transhuman Kickstarter as I write this, so if you're interested, don't forget to check it out this weekend!

ASR Reference Center
Welcome to the ASR Reference Center! This Reference Center was developed to provide users with access to pertinent information related to alkali-silica reactivity (ASR). The Reference Center has been organized for quick and easy access to various resources, and will be updated regularly to ensure that the most up-to-date information is available. Information that can be found on the Reference Center includes research reports, guidance documents, specifications related to ASR, field trials reports, and helpful links.
Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is a materials related distress that has resulted in the premature deterioration of concrete structures throughout the world, including bridges, dams, and pavements. ASR is caused by the reaction between alkali hydroxyl ions in portland cement and certain siliceous minerals found in some aggregates. When moisture is introduced, the product of this reaction is a gel that surrounds the aggregate within the concrete matrix. The gel expands and often leads to significant expansion and cracking, leading to a reduction in the service life of the structure.
- Case Studies
- Diagnosis and Monitoring of ASR
- FHWA ASR Development and Deployment Program
- Laboratory Research

Western Fantasy corrals 1,000 fun-lovin' cowpokes for the VOA
Saturday night's "Round-Up at the VOA Ranch" had plenty of cowpokes in boots and jeans; however, instead of ropin' and ridin' they were alighting from stretch Hummer limousines and putting one Lucchese in front of the other on the red carpet entry to the National Western Events Center where a filet of beef dinner and entertainment by Sara Evans awaited.
Western Fantasy 18: Round-Up at the VOA Ranch, chaired by Wells Fargo Bank's regional president, Tom Honig, and his wife, Dianne, continued a rich tradition started when Sharon Magness Blake and Jean Galloway cooked up an idea for a fundraiser unlike any other for Volunteers of America.
It raises about $1 million — some years more, some years less — for the 30 human service programs operated statewide by VOA-Colorado. Programs like Meals-on-Wheels, the Brandon Center and Theodora House shelters, and the Foster Grandparent Program.
The evening's dress code is dressy Western, and interpretations range from prairie skirts to leather and lace. Turquoise and silver are seen on bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings, bolo ties and belts. Hats are optional; Stetsons and Resistols seem to be the most popular brands.
The down-home feel to this year's Western Fantasy was established in the Events Center lobby, where the focal point was a 24-foot-wide mural of a cattle round-up. The arena floor, where the 1,000 guests gathered for cocktails, dinner and the show, had a Wells Fargo stagecoach parked to one side. It made for a perfect spot for the Honigs to perch when they delivered their welcoming remarks.
In keeping with tradition, the event opened with Sharon Magness Blake presenting the colors while riding her horse, Thunder, mascot of the Denver Broncos, around the area to strains of Lee Greenwood's signature "God Bless the USA." Greenwood is frequently at Western Fantasy to sing the song in person; he was unable to make it this year, so a recording was used.
Dinner — Angus tenderloin, sweet potato/maple syrup mash and warm white chocolate bread pudding by Epicurean Catering — was served at tables covered with tuquoise blue cloths and brown bandana napkins; centerpieces, by Bouquets, included sunflowers, cowboy lassos, reclaimed barbed wire, rustic copper containers, and dried sunflower heads bursting with seed.
A big surprise came when the live auction kicked off — literally — with a rousing number featuring caller Rick Rolf and several very limber dancers. It must have inspired the crowd because the seven items up for bid brought in a two-year high of $97,000.
The Bucket List — a package that includes two premium tickets and Southwest Airlines flights to the bidder's choice of four top events, including the Kentucky Derby, the Daytona 500, the Rose Bowl and the Major League Baseball All Star Game — fetched the highest bid, $28,000 from David Copeland, senior vice president and general counsel for SM Energy. Copeland and his date, Rollie Jordan, were guests at a table hosted by Shereen and Michael Pollak, whose Hyde Park Jewelers sponsored the pre-dinner Hyde Park Saloon where guests could purchase shot glasses that may or may not contain a piece of jewelry.
Perhaps the luckiest shot glass buyer were the three members of the Harry Gorham family. Each of them bought a shot glass and each of them struck the jackpot.
Others at the Pollak table were Larry Mizel and Bogi and Solla Palsson. The Palssons recently moved from Iceland to Bachelor Gulch.
Gov. John Hickenlooper was a guest at Sharon and Ernie Blake's table; Mayor Michael Hancock and his wife, Mary Louise Lee, were seated nearby, with a group that included City Attorney Doug Friednash; David Palmer from Greenberg Traurig and Bill and Verna Pauls.
Sharon Magness Blake joined Bob Bardwell, chair of the VOA-Colorado board, in presenting the Humanitarian Award to John and Anna Sie. John Sie is considered the father of digital television and in 1991 founded Starz Entertainment Group. It is now owned by Liberty Media and is the parent to such premium movie networks as Starz and Encore. They started the Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome and the Global Down Syndrome Foundation, and are benefactors to such organizations as the University of Denver, the Cable Center, Denver Art Museum, Denver School of Science and Technology and the Mizel Museum.
Guests also included Janet Elway with fiance Kevin Kretzmar; Phyllis Coors with her son, Scott, and Scott's partner, Dr. David Hurt; Libby and Tim Brown; former Humanitarian Award recipients Dianne Eddolls, Glenn Jones and Yvonne and Bill McCallum; Richard and Nancy Gooding; Susan and Ed Mueller of CenturyLink; 2010 Western Fantasy chairs Gayle and Ed Novak; Anita Padilla Fitzgerald of MegaStar Financial and husband Gene Fitzgerald of Merril Lynch; Adrienne Ruston Fitzgibbons and Kay Burke, chairs of the event's Stars & Spurs Committee; Jennifer Daurio, Allison Klein and Monica Owens, chairs of the Young Professionals committee; Quinn Washington and Miss Colorado USA Blair Griffith; University of Colorado Hospital president Bruce Schroffel and his wife, Lorrie; Kalleen and Bob Malone; KYGO's Kelly Ford with hubby Scott Patrick; Linda Shoemaker and Steve Brett; Carol and Bryce McTavish; Vicki and Trygve Myhren; Jeanne and Dick Saunders; Shery and Jim Galbreath; Marcia and Dick Robinson; Barry and Arlene Hirschfeld; Suzanne Garret-Duquette of the Wrangler Store; Cori Plotkin and Tyler Streetman, who were high bidders on the Las Vegas live auction package; Sarah and Matt Hogan; Emily Tarleton, president of the VOA Guild; Wendy and Bruce Glazer; Lyn and Dr. Michael Schaffer; Debi and Jerry Tepper; CBS4's Ed Greene, the evening's emcee, with his wife, Barb, and VOA president Dianna Kunz.

Excellent Question: In Panama it's common for people to just build things almost willy-nilly with no approved architectural plans, approvals, or permits from the local government. Of course it's not supposed to be this way. There are laws and regulations in place requiring anyone who's going to build anything, anywhere in the country, to have a full set of approved plans, drawn up by an architect and signed off by a plumber and an electrician. They are supposed to get a permit to build based on those plans before any construction starts. Then once the construction is completed there's a series of inspections that must be completed before the government will issue an occupancy permit, meaning that people can safely inhabit the structure. That's the law. The problem is that in many cases people don't follow the law, and they do practically whatever the hell they want. This is more true the further you get away from Panama City or any other large city or town, or any form of centralized government.
Little "Matchbox" Houses Everywhere: Does anyone really think that every little house thrown up by poor Panamanians in the interior actually has approved plans and permits? Of course they don't. These people are so poor they can barely afford to buy a few sacks of cement at a time, or a hundred cement blocks to put up walls - there's no room in the budget for things like plans, or fees for permits. That's reality on the ground.
Who's Responsible: No matter where you live in Panama there's a local Mayor somewhere who is the elected official responsible for that area. As part of his staff he will have a "Municipal Engineer" - and this is the guy who is supposed to receive and review the plans, make sure they have all of the proper stamps, and issue the permits. It's an relatively powerful position because if you don't go through him, then by law you can't build anything. These guys very often abuse their positions to suck bribes and money out of people who are trying to build something (the right way.) They will slow down the process by sitting on paperwork, and then it magically speeds up as soon as the wheels are greased. In some cases unscrupulous individuals would rather just toss $100 bucks to the Municipal Engineer to ignore them and leave them alone, because that's cheaper than having to pay an architect to draw up the plans, get the stamps from the plumber and electrician, and to get the permits issued. It's one thing if you're trying to put a roof over the heads of your family at the poverty - subsistence level (dirt poor) and another thing altogether when a relatively rich gringo is just trying to skimp a few bucks by circumventing the system. And, they are fostering corruption at the same time. Not good. Anyway, the "responsible individual" is the Municipal Engineer, who works for the Mayor.
Building Permits are Public Documents: By law, anyone can walk into the office of the Municipal Engineer and demand to see any building permit for any structure. They are public documents. However if a builder has paid a bribe to the Municipal Engineer instead of going through the process of getting the plans and permits, then most likely the plans and permits don't exist. The Municipal Engineer will deny your request to see the plans and permits, because they simply don't exist. He knows they don't exist, but he's not about to tell you the truth by saying "well, I can't show you those because I got bribed to look the other way. Would you like a glass of water?" No, he's going to lie, stall, tell you to get lost, tell you that he doesn't have to show them to you, make up all kinds of stuff, threaten to take some kind of action against you if you mess with him (meaning, expose him as a corrupt local official), etc. Basically, his message will be "get lost" and he's hoping that you just go away and never come back.
Put It In Writing: If everything is on the up-and-up, you can probably just walk into the office of the Municipal Engineer and ask to see the plans and permits - and they will pull them out and show them to you - no documentation required. If, however, you walk in and ask and you get the stonewalling, lying, corrupt local official routine, then you have to drop back a step and start to document your actions. Write up a simple letter (in Spanish) asking to see the plans and permits for the building in question. You don't have to explain why you want to see them, because you already have a legal right to see these public documents. State clearly that you expect a response within a set time period, like 15 calender days. Bring the original and a copy with you. When you deliver the original, make sure to have them sign and date your copy as the "received" copy for your files. That way, later, you can prove that you actually delivered this letter, and that the office of the Municipal Engineer received the letter. You might also want to provide a copy to the Mayor's office, just in case the Municipal Engineer is acting on his own without the Mayor's knowledge or consent. Then, wait the 15 days. At the end of that time, go back to pick up your copy of the plans and permits. If they don't provide them, then drop another letter on them to document their failure to comply with your simple request.
File A Writ of "Habeas Data" - There is a law in Panama which covers public documents. The concept here is known as "habeas data" - meaning that you can file a request through the judicial system to demand the fulfillment of your rights to see that information. Now - this part is important. Because the Municipal Engineer works for the Mayor, and the local Mayor is an elected official, then it falls to the Superior Tribunal to resolve these issues. The local "corregidors" (Justice of the Peace) work for the Mayor as well, so that won't work. And by law this kind of action has to be filed with the Superior Tribunal because they will in effect be ordering the Mayor to comply with your request. If you are in Portobelo for example, which is in the province of Colon, the Superior Tribunals which are responsible for that area are in Panama City. So, they could order the Mayor of Portobelo and the local Municipal Engineer to provide the information. In Bocas del Toro, for example, the Superior Tribunal is in David.
It Doesn't Have To Be Complicated: The law is designed to make it simple. You don't need a lawyer to file a writ of "habeas data" with the Superior Tribunal. Of course you can ask a lawyer to help you draw it up if you want to, and that will likely increase your chances of success, but in fact you can simply state the details of the situation in a simple letter to the court as an individual citizen. These things can be filed by a person, or by a legal entity, such as a Panamanian corporation. Include copies of the letters you sent to the Municipal Engineer as evidence, as well as the simple statements of what's going on. Obviously if you are concerned about a particular property or building that's under construction, you should include the details about the case or situation, photos, etc. Give the court as much information as possible, to help them decide the case in your favor. These are "easy" cases for the courts because it's a no-brainer. If there's a building under construction, then by law there must be a plan and permits, and the law also states those are public information, and this member of the public wants to see them, so make a copy and deliver. So ordered. It's not complicated for the courts, however now that you have this order in your hand, life might get very complicated for the local corrupt government officials.
Go Back And Present The Order: Once the court issues their decision in your favor, return to the office of the Municipal Engineer. By this time the local guys, and the person who was doing the building, have probably gone back and "created" the documents - complete with back dating and signatures - in order to paper their butts to avoid the pain. In the end you will probably get copies of these plans and permits, and all you've really accomplished is that you've forced them to go out and create more bogus paperwork. Anyway, for what it's worth, that's the answer to the question. There are all kinds of sets of information that are supposed to be "public access" in Panama according to the law, and there are all kinds of corrupt government officials who are trying to keep it hidden from prying eyes anyway. Happy hunting, and good luck.

High-powered Bucs visit Newton, Panthers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hope to remain players in the postseason race and notch their longest winning streak in four years on Sunday as they battle the division rival Carolina Panthers for the second time this year.
Playing under first-year head coach Greg Schiano, the Bucs have ripped off three straight wins to move above .500 at 5-4 and into second place in the NFC South. However, that is still a distant three games behind the first-place Atlanta Falcons.
Tampa Bay has averaged 37.3 points per game over its three-game winning streak and is coming off a 34-24 victory over the San Diego Chargers last weekend. The Buccaneers scored in all three phases, getting a pair of touchdown passes from quarterback Josh Freeman, an 83-yard pick-six by rookie cornerback Leonard Johnson and a 29-yard return for a score by linebacker Adam Hayward following a blocked punt.
The Bucs survived 337 passing yards and three touchdowns by San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers, picking him off twice while notching two sacks.
"Today we played team football. We held each other up, and it is critical against a good football team," Schiano said. "We ran into Philip Rivers, he's been as hot as a fire cracker the last two games. We did just enough to find a win. It's a good feeling."
An even better feeling would be for Tampa Bay to post its first four-game winning streak since a perfect November during the 2008 campaign.
The Bucs would love to duplicate their 16-10 season-opening win at home over the Panthers as they held Carolina to just 10 yards rushing. That matched the lowest total yards allowed on the ground in team history and Tampa Bay helped ice the win by picking off Panthers quarterback Cam Newton on back-to-back drives beginning late in the third quarter.
Tampa Bay's win came after it lost both of its contests last season to Carolina, which leads the all-time series 14-10 with a 7-5 advantage at home.
The Panthers, though, enter this game just 2-7 and failed to follow up a big win over the Washington Redskins, falling last Sunday by a 36-14 margin to the Denver Broncos.
Like Tampa Bay last weekend, Denver found a variety of ways to score versus Carolina. The Broncos scored a pair of touchdowns on offense, returned a punt 76 yards for a score and also got an interception returned 40 yards for a touchdown. That was enough to overshadow Newton's two touchdown passes to tight end Greg Olson.
Panthers head coach Ron Rivera stressed after the loss that inconsistency has plagued his club all year long.
"Some of us have to make plays when you get the opportunities. I think that is a big part of it," he said. "If you look at it you'll see that we missed some opportunities. We missed some blocks. You have to be able to protect the offensive line. When the ball is thrown, you have to catch it. You have to make good decisions when you go throw it. Defensively we were really good on third down, but you can't give up a big play."
Special teams could play a big factor in this contest, which would favor the Buccaneers.
After all, the Panthers fired special teams coordinator Brian Murphy on Monday because of what Rivera said were "philosophical differences and productivity" and it is unfortunate that the punt return for a score by Denver's Trindon Holliday may have been the final nail given as the play should not have even counted. Replays showed that Holliday's was in fact a touchback in favor of Carolina after the returner tossing the ball out of his hands in early celebration before crossing the goal line.
The NFL said in a statement on Monday that the play should have been reviewed by referee Alberto Riveron and overturned.
That doesn't help the Panthers, who tabbed assistant special teams coach Richard Rodgers to replace Murphy.
"I told coach Rodgers what I wanted," Rivera said. "I wanted things simplified. I wanted to come back to fundamental basics and that's the direction we're going to head right now."
For the Bucs, they used the play of their special teams to turn the momentum of their game and Schiano would like for the unit to continue to be aggressive.
"We've done some good things on special teams and then we've done some things that aren't so good. That's where we need consistency on our special teams. That will be something that if that can come and we can be consistent, that can win us some games here," Schiano.
Hayward scooped up the blocked punt by linebacker Dekoda Watson for the score and he will see a bigger role this weekend due to the loss of Quincy Black, who was placed on injured reserve this week following a neck injury versus the Chargers that saw him carted off the field and taken to a local hospital.
The 28-year-old had 32 tackles this year and while Hayward will likely see an increase in playing time, others like Watson and rookie Najee Goode will need to be ready as well.
"He's a professional. He works very hard and stays up to speed on all three linebacker positions," Schiano said of Hayward, a special teams captain. "That's why I say we'll have some flexibility. Guys will move around so it won't be just exclusive Adam for Quincy."
For his part, Hayward is ready to contribute.
"I've got to step in and be that starter and show people that this defense is not going to skip a heartbeat. The only thing we can do is go up and play better," he said.
Hayward and his defense will look to keep Carolina's 15th-ranked run defense in check and is giving up only 80.1 yards per game on the ground, tops in the league.
Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams finished with minus-1 yard on six carries in the Week 1 meeting, which fellow back Jonathan Stewart missed due to injury, and Newton had four yards on five carries.
Playing from behind versus the Broncos, Carolina ran for just 52 yards. Stewart led the club with 31 yards on eight carries, while Williams had six on six attempts.
Newton ran for seven yards on four carries and was under pressure throughout the game. He was sacked seven times, once for a safety. Carolina's offensive line has struggled since Pro Bowl center Ryan Kalil landed on injured reserve due to a foot injury and the Panthers this week signed Jeremy Bridges, who started 28 games for Carolina from 2006-08.
"I feel pretty confident he's going to come in do some of the things we need him to do for us," Rivera said of Bridges. "I don't ready enough to start, but ready enough to be ready just in case."
Many of Carolina's offensive players praised the defense for its effort last weekend and ends Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy were part of that. Johnson has 8 1/2 sacks after getting one versus the Broncos and also forced a fumble, as did Hardy.
The duo should have their eyes on Bucs running back Doug Martin, who following up his 251-yard, four-touchdown explosion in a win over the Oakland Raiders on Nov. 4 with over 100 yards of total offense against the Chargers. The 2012 first-round pick had 68 yards on 19 carries and caught another three balls for 51 yards.
Freeman, meanwhile, is the first Buccaneers quarterback to throw at least two touchdown passes in five straight games since Brad Johnson from Nov. 3-Dec. 8 during the 2002 season.
Many Panthers admitted how embarrassed they were following last week's loss and Rivera may need to start shaking things up to get his club on a positive path.
First and foremost will be preventing Tampa Bay's middle-of-the-road offense from churning out a number of big plays and that means containing Martin and wide receiver Vincent Jackson.
Carolina will need to test Tampa Bay's secondary and for whatever maturity Newton may seem to be lacking, he is still full of confidence. He should lean on his new top target Olsen and turn veteran Steve Smith loose in a much- needed win.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Panthers 23, Buccaneers 20

We all know the story, right. A rabbit (who's a bit like me) doesn't listen to his mother and loses his clothes then get sick... Moral is listen to your mother.
But is that really the moral? I think not.
Let's walk through it a bit.
Peter ran off while Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail were gathering blackberries. Sure Peter should have stayed with his sisters but have you ever picked blackberries? It's tedious and prickly... No one in their right mind would blame him for ducking out...
I should mention here that in the board book we have they don't mention that Peter's dad was in a "accident" that lead to him being baked into a pie by Mr. McGregor... So much has been sanitized these days. I mean calling it an accident back in 1893 was still sanitizing it... You know he was hit by a rake, knocked unconscious, skinned and then cooked in a stew or perhaps just on a spit over a fire.
Anyway when we last left Peter he was running away from a job that would have ended with a million cuts on his tiny little rabbit hands (brings down the value of a rabbit foot).
Then he squeezed under a gate and ate lettuce, beans (actually French Beans–fancy) and some radishes. Then he ended the meal with a bit of parsley. Not a bad meal... I say that not as a vegetarian but what I assume a rabbit would think... He had a pretty fantastic veggie plate... Most restaurants back in 1893 would have given you a piece of toast with chicken on it if you asked for a vegetarian meal... Same with most restaurants in Minneapolis now.
Then Mr. M saw the Peter and he bolted... That adrenaline you get after being chased is kind of awesome. Sure you think you'll get caught but once you're good you kind of float on air... No need to worry.
And then Peter lost a button. Really? We care about a button? Most jackets come with extra buttons. Also, SPOILER, dude loses the whole coat later so who cares about a button...
Then Peter gets stuck, meets some "friendly" sparrows, lost a coat, got wet, sneezes, runs and meets a mouse.
A mouse who could not answer Peter's question about a way out because she had a pea in her mouth. We accept this and think "whoa, sucks for Peter." You know what story I would have liked to hear?
The one where the mouses husband gets a call because his wife choked on a pea and the one animal that was able to help her out just walked away because she couldn't show him the door. How many kids did that poor mouse have? How many went hungry that night and maybe died? How did they grow up without a mother? Did they hate rabbits forever because of an "accident" that happened in Mr. McGregor's house?
We need answers... And rabbits that think more about others.
Cat looking at fish. Yada yada yada... Peter runs home.
When he gets home he doesn't get to eat blackberries, bread and milk... He just got chamomile tea because he was sick.
And we're supposed to think this is horrible... Dude already had a fantastic meal of the finest fresh veggies that Mr. McGregor had in his garden.
So the moral of the story, if there was one, would be listen to your mom or such (Miloh if you're reading this listen to your mom).
But the reality is he had a sweet adventure... One that if he was a seagull they would have made a book on how awesome he was and called it Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
He also had a sweet statue made of him... They say in the book that Mr. McGregor made a scarecrow of his clothes but it was probably just a statue of the awesomest rabbit he ever saw.
And he got away from his sisters for awhile... And every kid knows that that is a good thing.
So was running away really bad? I think not... The story would have never endured if he went picking blackberries, got a cut on his hand and then drank some milk.
P.S. What's with all the tea drinking in children's books? Should we be giving our kids tea? Is the lack of tea for children going to be seen as the downfall of our society? Only time will tell.

Speculation that speed was a factor in yesterday's Metro North train derailment seems to have been confirmed: The NTSB says the train was going 82 MPH when it entered a 30 MPH zone.
Four died as a result of the derailment, with a further 48 injured. More as we know it.
UPDATE: Earl Weener of the NTSB said the following to the AP:
Weener said the throttle went to idle six seconds before the derailed train came to a complete stop — "very late in the game" for a train going that fast" — and the brakes were fully engaged five seconds before the train stopped.
He said investigators were also examining the engineer's cellphone — apparently to determine whether he was operating the train while distracted.
Asked whether the tragedy was the result of human error or faulty brakes, Weener said: "The answer is, at this point in time, we can't tell."

Russian Media Studies Project
Though MEMRI, since its inception, has dealt with the Arab and Muslim world, its guiding concept is applicable to other global areas. MEMRI' analyses of conflicts between nations, societies, cultures or religions, are based on access to a wide array of primary source materials. This includes materials from the media, to understand the current public discourse; from schoolbooks, to understand the future; and from religious texts, wherever religion plays a substantial role in the lives of individuals and society.
This is the meaning behind MEMRI' s motto "bridging the language gap." For years, MEMRI has realized this vision by publishing analysis and translations from Arabic, Farsi, Turkish, Urdu and Pashto into English and other languages, in order to inform the media, academia, legislatures and governments. We always hoped that the MEMRI model would also be applied to other arenas.
In January 2016, MEMRI we picked up the gauntlet ourselves and expanded our coverage to Russia by launching the Russian Media Studies Project.

I have a nice free-standing claw-foot tub. It was re-finished poorly by a previous homeowner and now we're getting white flakes in the water. There are also rust spots in a couple of places.
There seem to be several techniques for refinishing tubs but I'd like to do it right. What should I be looking for as I shop for contractors to do the job? What questions do I need to be asking?

I have been wishing for a long time to wake up to podcasts instead of music in the morning. Hearing the news for an alarm instead of the same song everyday gives me something to think about, which usually gets me out of bed much quicker.
My first try was creating my own app to do this. But I quickly realized that I could neither create an alarm app that works as well or has as many features as others, or a podcast catcher that works as well as something like my beloved BeyondPod. Plus, creating my own app would violate the unix philosophy of not creating duplicate solutions to a problem.
Instead, I decided the best approach would be to link apps designed to do each of these. I had discovered BeyondPod, and loved many features of it - especially smart play, which allows me to hit one button, hop on my bike, and enjoy good podcasts for the entire ride. Many alarm clock apps like alarm clock plus allow you to launch an app instead of playing music, but if you launch BeyondPod, it does not start playing automatically.
I checked out the AndroidManifest.xml for BeyondPod and noticed that there actually is a way to send an Intent to BeyondPod to instruct it to start playing - there is even one to start the smart play playlist! These intents are shown here: http://beyondpod.com/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/31/5/beyondpod-public-apis .
Needless to say, I was pretty excited about finding this. So I downloaded AppAlarm thinking that I could just plug one of these intents in, and immediately get it working. Sadly this is not the case. If you create a new alarm with a Custom Intent with the Action: "mobi.beyondpod.command.START_SMART_PLAY", it doesn't work. I am still not quite sure why this is the case, but I suspect that it is because AppAlarm uses startActivity() rather than broadcastIntent() when it sends the intent.
So, I still didn't have the solution. Finally, I stumbled upon this page: http://ig88.cwfk.net/?page_id=73, which specifically mentions sending one of the BeyondPod play intents. This app allowed me to finally string it all together - see the instructions below.
After all this, I really want to thank some people:
1. The architects of the android operating system, for making it easy to link apps together with concepts like Intents.
2. The programmers of BeyondPod, AppAlarm, and Manual Intent Shortcuts for making apps that solve their corresponding problems well.
These people didn't do a perfect job (i.e. imho BeyondPod should make itself launchable from AlarmClockPlus, AppAlarm should have support for broadcasting intents and a gentle volume increase, and Manual Intent Shortcuts should have a test button), but they did a good enough job designing their apps to solve individual problems that I was able to accomplish something with these tools that they probably didn't specifically intend. And that is programming goodness.
How to get it working:
1. Install AppAlarm Pro, Manual Intent Shortcuts, and BeyondPod (I'm not sure if this will work with the free version of BeyondPod, but BeyondPod is one of my favorite apps, so I would recommend buying the unlock key)
2. Set up smart play in BeyondPod according to whatever you want to hear in the morning (I recommend some nice, soothing NPR news: NPR 7 am News Summary (podcast url: http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=500001).
3. In AppAlarm, create a new alarm.
Click "App To Launch"
Select "Create Shortcut"
Scroll down and select "Manual Intent Shortcuts"
Fill in the following fields (you should omit the quotes):
Shortcut Name:"BeyondPod Smart Play" (or whatever you want - doesn't matter)
4. Set up the alarm however you want it. In the alarm Volume Options, make sure you check Set Media Volume, so that you don't miss the alarm.
If you want to wake up to something besides Smart Play:
In BeyondPod 3.0.20 and later, there is a feature called "Quick Play" which works with Android's voice search so that you can say "Listen to News" for example and hear all podcasts in your News category. We can also use quick play for an alarm, and with this configuration, we don't need Manual Intent Shortcuts. To do this, modify instruction 3 as follows:
3. In AppAlarm, create a new alarm.
Click "App To Launch"
Select "Create Shortcut"
Scroll down and select "BeyondPod Quick Play"
This will allow you to choose which category you would like to listen to when the alarm goes off. (Thanks to Daniel for pointing this out)

This month's web site traffic strangeness involves… Mister Roboto.
My goofy, six-year-old musing on an old Volkswagen ad is currently the number 3 page on my site. Six months ago it wasn't in the top 30, but since then it's been on a steady climb. Until this month.
Suddenly, my top ten search keyphrases include "volkswagen mr roboto", "volkswagen roboto", "volkswagen mr. roboto", (note the dot) "mr roboto", and "mr. roboto". I know that the first three all place my page in the top 3 results on Google, and I think maybe "volkswagen mr. roboto" scored #1 earlier this week. But I have no idea whether it's an improvement in Google ranking, or a resurgence of interest in an old ad, or a combination of the two, that has spurred this rise.
I do know one thing, and that's that it feels a little weird to me. I wrote that silly piece of crap at age 30, and wrote it solely for the sake of writing it (oh, and to exorcise a bit of nostalgia for my youth as I entered my third decade). I don't think I'd bother today, and it's a tidbit of personal trivia that I don't doubt is of zero interest to the many visitors who stumble in. Certainly, none have sent a response.
