The day is finally here! It's here! Breaking Dawn: Part 2 premiered today! You can go get your fill of Edward, Bella, and Jacob and celebrate the final installment in this record-breaking Twilight saga. Twihards, rejoice!
And of course the reviews about the movie have been pouring in. Most likely, if you're a fan of the franchise, these reviews matter very little to you. But if you're on the fence about spending the money on a ticket, you may want to at least see what the experts are saying. Doesn't hurt, especially when movie tickets are getting to be so damn expensive, right?
So, we rounded up some blurbs from top reviewers so you can check out what they think. Behold, those intrigued by the phenomeon that is RPattz and KStew (and TLaut), the Breaking Dawn: Part 2 movie reviews.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone:
No more Twilight movies EVER! I'm so joyful that I might be overrating The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 by saying it's not half bad. Actually, it's almost completely bad. But there's a smidge of twisted energy in the final chapter as if everyone is relieved to be done with the damn thing.
Claudia Puig, USA Today:
Hair and make-up are only a couple of factors that seem schlocky. Special effects -- particularly the computer-generated wolves -- look surprisingly second-rate. Worse are the bad screenplay, lackluster performances, and turgid pacing. Lautner's abs are the only taut thing about this tween-centered soap opera.
Manohla Dargis, New York Times:
Despite the slow start Mr. Condon closes the series in fine, smooth style. He gives fans all the lovely flowers, conditioned hair and lightly erotic, dreamy kisses they deserve. Just as smartly he also shakes the series up with an unexpectedly fierce, entertaining battle that finds the Cullens, flanked by their wolf friends and various vampire allies, facing down the Volturi.
Adriana Velez, The Stir:
Well ... you heard there was a twist that's radically different from the book? It's radical all right. Some may find it cheesy. I was actually kind of relieved to see how things turned out. It was almost funny. I'll say no more except that it's really Alice who saves the day -- and common sense and prudence win in the end.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly:
Breaking Dawn — Part 2 starts off slow but gathers momentum, and that's because, with Bella and Edward united against the Volturi, the picture has a real threat. It's structured as a classic monster-movie showdown, and when the two are standing with their ragtag rebel team in the Northwest snow, facing Aro and his monk-hooded Volturi army, the film takes off ...
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times:
[T]his is an important one -- "Breaking Dawn: Part 2" does not take itself too seriously. There are cheeky nods to the entire series throughout, with the tendency toward campy excess becoming an ongoing punch line. There is more humor in general, and our newly minted warrior princess is responsible for much of it.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times:
I have now seen something like 10 hours about these vampires as they progress through immortality, and I'd rather see either version of "Nosferatu" that many times. I must admit if you're going to bring the series to a close, "Part 2" does it about as well as it can be done. It must be hard for Summit Entertainment to drop the final curtain on a series that has grossed billions, but it bit the bullet, and I imagine fans will be pleased.
Christy Lemire, Associated Press:
This is by far the best film in the series. This does not necessarily mean it's good. But as it reaches its prolonged and wildly violent crescendo, it's at least entertaining in a totally nutso way.
So, the overall takeaway? Don't expect the next Citizen Kane, but if you're a Twilight fan, you're gonna love it, and it's shaping up to be the best movie in the franchise -- which doesn't say much since the others weren't that great, but still! The epic battle scene alone may be worth the price of admission. And, really, we just gotta see how this whole thing ends!
Here's the official trailer to get yourself even more pumped up:

The MABRA list had a golden nugget of douchebaggery. Dan posts:
Are there any steps that can be taken when a race-promoter does not provide the results to USA cycling and does not respond to emails asking why not?
It sucks to pay money for race registration, finish well and not have the results acknowledged on USA cycling.
Anyone have any luck contacting USA cycling in these situations?
The race in question was the Bryan Park Circuit Race on Saturday June 16th.
Rather than complaining about your results you should be kissing the feet of the promoter, the usacycling officials and me for making local cycling awesome. The promoter is probably busy with his day-job, maybe his family, and other things that aren't related to cycling. YGD agrees that it is awesome to have results posted on USA Cycling the evening or day after the race but it shouldn't be expected. Have you ever tried to submit a spreadsheet to USA Cycling after a race. It's rocket surgery. Most promoters aren't doing this full-time and it's basically a volunteer gig that MIGHT put some funds in their team's coffers. Get over it and buy a t shirt from us...we have them in pink now. Also, triple spaced on your rebuttal. Well done.

Society bible lectures students on etiquette
Yes, yes, but how can I lose my virginity?
As another crop of 18-year-olds heads to college for the first time, University towns across the land are bracing themselves for the bacchanalian orgy known as freshers' week.
Thankfully, any parents worried that their nearest and dearest are going to fall prey to the Rugby Club's front row or end up flogging copies of Socialist Worker on Saturday mornings might do worse than to point their offspring towards society and etiquette experts Debretts' list of pointers on Freshers Etiquette.
Debretts top tips include: "Introduce yourself to strangers at parties. Everyone is in the same boat, so don't worry about making the first move."
Once the ice is broken, Freshers should "Listen to what other people tell you, and ask questions. Conversation is likely to be about A-level results, school, courses and gap years." Well, that's five minutes sorted, before a rapid degeneration into moaning about student loan delays, debating classic TV programmes, and bitching about newly acquired flatmates/classmates.
Things do get a bit confusing at this point. One the one hand, students are advised to "Be social. Operate an open door policy when you move into your halls."
Sounds good to us, but before you know, Debretts is being all prim and proper, suggesting that "While it's good to be open to new experiences, exercise a little caution. You may end up doing something in freshers' week that will haunt you for the next three years.
Which is a politer way of expressing number seven: "Away from parental and school supervision, hormones will run high. Make sure you're not the talk of the campus."
All good stuff, if slightly generalist - we can't help thinking that there's some etiquette points that geeks in training may want to consider. Perhaps advice to flush your cache and history list before letting potential romantic interests use your PC would be pertinent. Also, it might be good to point out that going to the Freshers Ball as your SecondLife avatar is unlikely to make it a night to remember - not for you anyway.
The full list is here
If you've got any other advice for the younger generation, you know where to stick it. ®


text: Is Hay Still the Best Choice to Winter Cows? December 3, 2013 04:32 AM Tweet Table showing the late gestation diets of a 1400 pound cow maintaining body condition, lbs. per head per day. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email Source: South Dakota State University Extension The feed cost environment for 2013-2014 is dramatically different compared to last year, according to Warren Rusche, SDSU Extension Cow/Calf Field Specialist. "Corn and corn-derived feeds such as distiller's grains and silage are only about half the cost of one year ago. Hay and roughage costs are lower as well, but on a percentage basis the price decline has not been as dramatic as compared to corn prices," Rusche said. With this in mind, Rusche says there may be an opportunity to exploit these differences in feed prices to reduce winter feed expenses. In Table 1 he laid out three different rations for 1,400-pound cows in late gestation. The rations were formulated to meet protein requirements and at least maintain body condition. Ration #1 is a traditional hay based diet using alfalfa hay (19 percent crude protein) and grass hay (8% crude protein). Ration #2 consists of corn silage, corn stalks and modified distiller's grains. Ration #3 is a limit-fed diet using 10 pounds of hay (alfalfa and grass) combined with 10 pounds of corn per head per day. The prices are based on published price data from South Dakota feed markets in late November. "Using these prices, diets utilizing corn or corn-derived feeds are more cost effective compared to diets relying completely on hay," Rusche said. Of course, he added, every situation is different and hay costs in some markets may not be as high as the values used here. "It should be noted that the corn price is for dry corn. In some cases there may be an opportunity to utilize wetter corn that would otherwise be subject to discounts and reduce costs further," he said. Implementing some of these strategies requires limiting the cows' feed intake below what their appetite would be normally. In order to do that successfully, Rusche said the following management factors that need to be considered: Diets should be based on actual nutrient analyses. Gradually adapt cattle to diet changes, especially if high-starch feeds are used. Proper bunk management is extremely important to avoid digestive upsets. Allow plenty of room at the bunk and in the lot (at least 30 inches of bunk space and 500 ft2 per cow). Limit-fed rations will meet the cows' nutrient needs, but won't satisfy their appetite. Strong fences are essential. Just like under more traditional management systems, body condition needs to be monitored to make sure that the cattle are on track to meet production goals. For a more in-depth discussion of limit feeding cows, producers can visit iGrow.org and read "Limit Feeding Strategies for Beef Cows" or contact Rusche at 605-882-5140 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

2014-2016 US Tax Credit
The Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2015 extends the 25C tax credits that expired on December 31, 2014. This includes higher efficiency heating and cooling systems, such as central air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps and packaged systems. These credits are only available for improvements made between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2016.
An eligible tax payer may claim up to $500 in tax credits, subject to caps based on the type of equipment installed.
For the advanced main air circulating fan credit, the fan must use no more than 2% of the furnace's total energy. If the fan is qualified, but the furnace is not, you will not be able to take 10% off the cost of the entire furnace. Ask your dealer to break out the cost of the fan in your invoice. You can get a 10% tax credit (up to $50) on the cost of the fan alone. If the furnace is qualified, but the fan is not, you can still take the 10% tax credit on the full cost of the furnace.
If you have taken more than $500 in 25c tax credits since January 1, 2005, you are ineligible for any further credits. Please consult your tax advisor for full details.
Now is a great time to consider purchasing a heat pump instead of an air conditioner. Heat pumps work just like an air conditioner in the summer, but also provide heat in the winter. You can pair a heat pump with a gas furnace, and run the heat pump in mild weather and the furnace is colder temperatures, saving you money on your winter utility bills. How much? Visit our hybrid saver to see an estimate for your area. And because many heat pump models qualify for the federal tax credit, you'll get a wider range of choices and price ranges than with an air conditioner. Your Maytag ® dealer can help you select the right system for your home.

Commission requests four countries to take on new rules for European Works Councils
The European Commission has requested Greece, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands to transpose new legislation on European Works Councils (recast of EU Directive on European Works Councils) into their national law.
The request takes the form of a 'reasoned opinion' under EU infringement procedures. If Greece, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands do not bring their legislation into line with EU law within two months, the Commission may decide to refer these Member states to the EU's Court of Justice.
Member States had to bring the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the new European Works Councils Directive into force by 5 June 2011 and notify the Commission. In the cases of Greece, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, the process of adopting national implementing measures is under way, but no precise indications have been given in terms of the completion of this process in the near future. In the case of Italy, no information has been received by the Commission on the implementation process.
In July 2011, the Commission sent letters of formal notice to the 17 Member States not having complied with these obligations. Of these infringement cases, eight cases have been closed (SK, CY, CZ, FI, HU, IE, LT, SI) and five cases are in the process of being closed or the Commission is waiting for some last elements for closure (FR, PL, RO, BE, UK) as these Member States have transposed the EU directive into national law.

Chelsea has not finished outside the top two in five seasons, a span in which they're averaging a mind-blowing 88.5 points a season. They've won two Premiership titles, two Carling Cups, an FA Cup, and, for what it's worth, a Community Shield, during this stretch. They have an impressive, slightly overrated in my opinion because of the number of draws, unbeaten streak at home in the league — 82 games and counting.
For all of that success, though, the one trophy most coveted by the West London club and its fans, the Champions League, has painfully eluded their grasp over that time. Counting last year's run, the Blues have made it at least to the semifinals of Europe's top club competition in four of those last five years, but they failed to win the whole thing every time.
Chelsea literally was inches away from putting an end to that on that rainy May night in Moscow against Manchester United, but as we all remember, John Terry slipped on his run-up and missed the penalty kick that would've won the final in a shootout, and Nicholas Anelka's effort was saved three rounds later by Edwin van der Sar to give United their third European Cup/Champions League title.
The big story at Stamford Bridge this summer is the hiring of Luiz Felipe Scolari, a former World Cup-winning manager with Brazil and two-time winner of Copa Libertadores in the '90's. Scolari doesn't have any experience with European club soccer, much less at such a high-profile post as Chelsea boss, but this is a man who can deal with big egos and make sure the team comes first. Unlike his predecessor, Avram Grant, Scolari has been around the block a few times and won't simply be a "yes man" for wealthy owner Roman Abramovich.
The problem with Scolari is his age — almost 60. He's at a point in his career where most managers are leaving club jobs to either retire or take up less demanding international posts. Scolari is doing the exact opposite, and while there's no question that he's a fiery, passionate guy in spurts, which we've seen with Brazil and Portugal more recently, I'm not sure that he can bring the energy necessary to the position over the course of such a grueling season. He reminds me of a fire in a way — when first lit and provided with kindling, he can burn quickly and the light and heat is there, but as the fuel runs out, the flame dies down. That's the scenario I expect to see with Scolari this season, one that may provide a shock to him as far as how difficult the transition from international to club management truly is.
He's brought a couple of the Portuguese stars he coached during his tenure with the Iberian country with him in Deco, who was a steal for $16 million, and Bosingwa, who will provide much-needed stability to the right back position that had become a revolving door under Grant and José Mourinho before him.
Those two were Chelsea's only acquisitions so far, but they haven't lost a whole lot either. Steve Sidwell never should have went to Chelsea in the first place. He was just a spare part at the Bridge and his talent was wasted there, so he moved to Aston Villa and will reap the personal benefits from doing so. Tal Ben Haim was nothing more than cover at center back but the emergence of Branislav Ivanovic, who has spent the past couple seasons at Lokomotiv Moscow, meant Ben Haim was surplus to requirements. Claude Makelele was a great player in his prime and is what all defensive midfielders aspire to be, but as age has caught up with him (he's lost more than a step) and Michael Essien and John Obi Mikel continue to develop, the Frenchman's services were no longer needed.
Essien and Obi Mikel are two cogs to a Chelsea midfield that is absolutely stacked. They don't have much quality on the wings aside from Joe Cole, who isn't even a prototypical wide player anyway. Florent Malouda and Shaun Wright-Phillips don't cut it at a club as big as Chelsea, simple as that, though they do have their good moments. Essien, Michael Ballack, Deco, and Frank Lampard are all great center midfielders, and Obi Mikel may be on his way to that status if he could manage to stay on the field and not pick up silly bookings. Scolari has to find a way to get as much of this talent on the field at one time as possible, so you could see a narrow diamond in the middle, similar to what AC Milan and the Italian national team employ, a 4-1-4-1 with Didier Drogba as the lone striker, or the same 4-3-3/4-5-1 that's been used in recent seasons.
Projected Starting Lineup (4-3-3/4-5-1):
GK: Petr Cech
RB: Bosingwa
CB: John Terry (captain)
CB: Ricardo Carvalho
LB: Ashley Cole
RCMF: Lampard
DMF: Essien
LCMF: Deco
RMF/RWF: Wright-Phillips
ST: Drogba
LMF/LWF: Cole
This midfield and front line will be very fluid based on fitness and form; Nicholas Anelka will get a chance to play up top or wide left, as will Salomon Kalou. Malouda plays there too. Wright-Phillips brings pace to the right flank. Scott Sinclair, like Kalou, is a speedy winger/striker that can make an impact. Obi Mikel can be brought on late to lock a game down in place of a more attack-minded player and clog up the midfield. Chelsea paid a lot of money for Andriy Shevchenko, so he's going to play up front at some point. Scolari has plenty of options depending on his strategy in a given game.
Chelsea's Premiership schedule sets up relatively comfortably through November; their road games (Wigan, Manchester City, Stoke City, Middlesbrough, Hull City, Blackburn, and West Brom) are all very winnable, and the other teams, who, granted, will provide stiff opposition for Chelsea, all come to Stamford Bridge and Chelsea just doesn't lose there. Those teams: Portsmouth, Tottenham, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Sunderland, Newcastle, and Arsenal. By no means am I saying Chelsea will waltz through the first half of their league campaign, but they do have the significant advantage of playing those tough teams at home.
The schedule balances out in the second half, obviously, so Chelsea has to visit all those sides at some point. However, there isn't one month that stands out above the rest from December on as being much trickier than another. December is Chelsea's easiest month — they visit Bolton, Everton, and Fulham and host West Ham and West Brom. Their toughest month is probably March, because even though they play Manchester United and Liverpool in January, those are the bookend games of their four total and the middle two are at home against Stoke and Middlesbrough. In March, Chelsea goes to Portsmouth and Tottenham and welcome Manchester City to West London in between.
Bottom Line: I'm not exactly going out on a limb by saying this team is very, very good. There are no obvious weaknesses; they do need some more quality on the wings, but Scolari has the personnel to not even use wingers in the first place if he doesn't want to. Chelsea's fortunes depend largely on Scolari and how he adapts to the Premiership, because while the on-field talent is there, there's no question in my mind that Scolari is the least capable manager out of Arsene Wenger, Rafa Benitez, and Sir Alex Ferguson. If Scolari makes a seamless transition, Chelsea can make a run at their third title in five seasons and their first Champions League. If his act wears thin like I believe it will, Chelsea will find themselves out of the running in both competitions by February or March.

Jason Collins' coming out received large media fanfare. Brittney Griner's was met with something close to a yawn.
The debate over what caused the difference has been pretty public, with some pointing to sexism, others to the way heterosexual men react to gay men and one commentator noting that society doesn't perceive lesbian athletes to be playing against type in the same way it views gay male athletes.
Addressed in all three perspectives is the widespread perception that lesbian athletes have an easier time being open about their sexuality on the court and in the locker room. Whatever the source of the assumption that out female athletes aren't met with homophobia, it's at the heart of the perceived indifference (or, in Griner's case, a national shrug) most female athletes receive when they come out.
Except that assumption is misleading. Case in point: During a recent interview, Griner said her college coach Kim Mulkey told players not to be publicly open about their sexuality because it would look bad for Baylor's basketball program.
"The coaches thought that if it seemed like they condoned it," Griner told espnW's Kate Fagan, "people wouldn't let their kids come play for Baylor."
Mulkey declined to comment, but some former Baylor players have rushed to her defense. But in doing so, none of them really refuted Griner's remarks or Baylor's alleged "don't ask, don't tell" approach. More crucially, one said some college basketball programs choose not to bring in players who "look a certain type of way." She didn't elaborate, but I read the quote as implying that schools shy away from athletes who "look" like lesbians. The troubling aspects of that practice ought to be evident enough.
Even if Griner's assessment of the situation isn't quite accurate (and given the Baylor handbook's language on "understandings of sexuality that are contrary to biblical teaching," I've got no reason to doubt her), she has drawn attention to the obstacles faced by lesbian and bisexual athletes who wish to live publicly open lives.
Some homophobia clearly lingers in women's sports, and all too often, it's swept under the rug. As a growing number of female athletes follow in Griner's footsteps and come out, it's time to fully address it.

ATLANTA -- With just enough time for the Atlanta Falcons to make one last desperate effort on offense, San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore wasn't interested in watching. He wanted so badly not to watch, in fact, that he searched for a way to avoid the game entirely.
So he spotted a folding chair far from the bench, opened it up and sat down in a strangely discreet area while the rest of the stadium focused on Atlanta's last shot Sunday.
"I couldn't handle it," Gore told NFL.com afterward.
So why didn't he just look down while standing up? Or turn around? Or close his eyes? Did he really have to get a random folding chair?
"Man, that game was hard," he said. "I was tired!"
This is what a man feels like in the wake of a grinded-out, 28-24 win, near the end of a grinded-out season, deep into a grinded-out career. This is what a man who rushed for two second-half touchdowns Sunday -- in the biggest comeback in NFC Championship Game history -- does when he's tired of the suspense: He sits and stares down. He waits. And he waits. Until the crowd's reaction in an eventually dismal Georgia Dome tells him it's OK to look up.
Now, go catch a nap, Gore. In fact, maybe everyone -- including the fans -- should rest up. If the past two weeks of the playoffs are any indication, well, we're all going to need every ounce of energy for the dramatics that await when the Niners meet the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII.
"We felt that pressure," 49ers safety Donte Whitner said, following a win that required San Francisco to come back from a 17-0 deficit. "But like we say in our locker room, when there's more pressure, we give pressure. And that's what we did. We sucked it up, and when it came down to that last fourth down, we got the football."
But the beginning of the game -- which felt so distant, literally and figuratively -- had been defined by a very different vibe. The Falcons came out firing. They put the 49ers on their heels, as quarterback Matt Ryan picked apart a secondary that couldn't decide how to cover Atlanta's many weapons.
The 49ers, meanwhile, were struggling to carry any momentum over from their divisional-round win against the Green Bay Packers one week earlier, when the read-option had worked so well that it sparked conversations about if we've officially entered a new era of football. However, after the first quarter ended Sunday, San Francisco had -2 yards of offense to show for it.
"But going out on the field frantic isn't going to help you score points," quarterback Colin Kaepernick said. "You have to stay calm. You have to try and lead your team."
As the Falcons found ways to stop the option, Kaepernick found ways to counter them. He finally looked toward one of his best weapons, tight end Vernon Davis, who had been nearly invisible since Kaepernick replaced Alex Smith as the starting quarterback in Week 11. The team also started incorporating some more traditional running plays, using Gore to gain momentum.
NFL Replay will re-air the San Francisco 49ers' 28-24 win over the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship Game on Tuesday, Jan. 22
at 8 p.m. ET.
» NFL Network schedule
Last week, 49ers cornerback Carlos Rogers said Kaepernick is so much more than an option quarterback -- that he's perfectly comfortable under center when the situation requires it. Suddenly on Sunday, the situation did. And suddenly, the offense was back on track, capable of reestablishing the option after the more traditional approach had put the Falcons in a bind.
If there's one major reason to fear this 49ers team in the Super Bowl (and there's plenty more than just one), it might be San Francisco's resolve in moments like that. It took guts for coach Jim Harbaugh to replace Smith with Kaepernick back in November; the fight and firepower that resulted during the second half Sunday showed exactly why he did it.
Of course, the Baltimore Ravens carry their own absurdly high level of tenacity, which is the very reason that the result on Feb. 3 will be so difficult for anyone to predict. But the way San Francisco rallied back against the Falcons, on the road, fully demonstrated how tough it will be to beat the 49ers.
"We could have pushed the panic button, but we know what we're capable of," linebacker Aldon Smith said. "Everybody's on the same page. In the first half, we were playing bad -- but we got ourselves together at halftime."
The 49ers had struggled on the road lately, giving up far too many points to make a third-ranked defense comfortable. There were reasons to wonder about their vulnerability, especially against a team with as much firepower as the Falcons, and Sunday's first quarter was a perfect indication as to why.
Yet in the second half -- and, really, starting with the second quarter -- the 49ers kept clawing, despite costly turnovers committed by both teams. San Francisco kept hanging around, positioning itself for another dramatic conclusion.
It's no wonder that Gore, who finished the game with 21 carries for 90 yards, was tired. It's no wonder that he preferred to find a seat of his own toward the end of that game, somewhere that would let him escape the stress of the moment, with the result no longer in his hands.
Gore and his teammates now have two weeks to rest, two weeks to prepare for the biggest game of their lives. The Super Bowl is almost here. So take Gore's advice and take a seat. Because soon enough, we'll all surely be back on our feet.
"We're not done yet," Gore said. "We still have one more."

Left guard Robert Gallery confirmed that he is slated to become a free agent after this season, unless the Raiders re-sign him before free agency starts.
Gallery has played his entire seven-year NFL career with the Raiders. He was the N0. 2 pick of the 2004 NFL draft and has been a linchpin of Oakland's offensive line the entire time.
"I love this place," Gallery said. "I'm just worried about this last game. I know I like playing for that guy (coach Tom Cable). Everybody knows how this locker room feels about him."
When asked if he expected to be re-signed, Gallery said he isn't sure.
"This is the first time going to free agency for me, so I don't know what the process is like," Gallery said. "I'm not really worried about it. It's a long ways away. We'll see what happens. I, obviously, haven't thought one bit about it."
— The Raiders lead the league with 1,199 penalty yards. They can eclipse the franchise record with 76 penalty yards against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Coincidentally, the Chiefs hold the NFL record for most yards penalized in one season, when they piled up 1,304 yards in 1998. Also, the Raiders have received 1,122 penalty yards in their 15 games this season, by far the most of any team in the league.
— Sebastiank Janikowski moved past Jeff Jaeger for the franchise record for most points scored in a season (135) with the 14 he scored against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Janikowski's points Sunday came by virtue of four field goals and two extra points in the 31-26 loss. Jaeger set the mark (132) in 1993. Janikowski's previous single-season high came in 2002, when he scored 128 for the league's top-ranked offense.
— Pro Bowl selections will be announced Tuesday. In years past, it was almost a foregone conclusion that cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha and punter Shane Lechler were the only legitimate candidates for the Raiders.
This year, strong cases can be made for: Asomugha; Lechler; Condo; Janikowski, who leads the league in scoring; defensive tackle Tommy Kelly, who leads AFC tackles with seven sacks; running back Darren McFadden, who is fourth in combined yards rushing and receiving; kick returner Jacoby Ford, who is tied for the league lead with three kicks returned for touchdown; and special teams standout Rock Cartwright.
Asomugha is the only Raiders player who led the fan portion of the voting process. Fans' votes counts for one-third of the process, with players and coaches each getting one-third.
— Cable said that defensive tackle Richard Seymour is "improving" in his recovery from a hamstring injury he suffered against the Denver Broncos on Dec. 19. Seymour missed the Colts game.
Right offensive tackle Langston Walker still is suffering from post-concussion symptoms, even though he has passed the mandatory tests for players who get a concussion.
"He's passed the target but he still has some symptoms," Cable said. "So, until those are gone, you can't do much about it."
Cable said that Mario Henderson fared well in place of Walker against the Colts. It was Henderson's first start at that position. He spent his first three-plus NFL seasons at left offensive tackle before he lost his starting job to rookie Jared Veldheer six games into this season.
"Mario started off kind of hit and miss, then, as it went, he got better," Cable said. "He had some struggles on a couple of things but, overall, again for a guy stepping in, who hadn't played a lot lately, once he got into his rhythm, he was OK."
— Now that the Raiders are out of the playoffs picture, Cable has had to modify his team's short-range goals. To that end, he addressed the team about the importance of this Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
"We talked about that," Cable said. "That was really the plan this morning because it's something we all had to face when you woke up this morning that it's not going to happen for us. We talked about the improvements we've made from a commitment level, of where we want to take this thing and where we want to ultimately be and that's to win a championship.
"It's a process to get there. We've kind of been going through all of those things, but this week is just the last step for this year, and that is to go out and win a game and finish the season 8-8, stop the losing record thing that has kind of been chasing this organization for a number of years as well as complete the sweep in the division. I think that would be a heck of a deal for our football team and launch us into the future and the next year."
— Oft-injured wide receiver Chaz Schilens finally caught a pass this season. In fact, he caught two against the Colts for 17 yards Sunday, after going three games without a reception.
Cable said he is excited about the prospect of Schilens going into the offseason without any lingering health issues. Schilens has been plagued by foot and knee injuries the past two years.
"The thing I'm really encouraged for Chaz is, hopefully, we get through the last week with him again improving and getting more involved and him being able to walk away from the season injury free or healthy, if you will," Cable said. "To go into the offseason would be a huge step for him. It's good to see him back involved, definitely."
When asked if Schilens has the talent to be a No. 1 receiver, Cable offered the following:
"I think this. If he's healthy, he has the chance to lift us up. You can't sit around and put No. 1 tags on someone until they can have a chance to go out and prove it. Unfortunately, with his injury situation, he hasn't been able to that. I do think he's a quality player and I do think he could really be something for us."

You know what you want God to do: You want him to take away your pain. But have you ever asked yourself what he wants you to do?
I'm not a doctor, of course, but I can tell you two things that God wants you to do. First, he wants you to stop getting drugs illegally (for that's what you're doing by concealing your true situation from these doctors). Not only are you jeopardizing your health and perhaps even risking arrest, but you may be endangering the professional status of your doctors. As I understand, most states have strict laws about such matters.
But God also wants you to get the best medical advice you possibly can for your problem (perhaps including a second opinion or advice from a specialized pain clinic). Concealing the seriousness of your problem from your doctor is not only unwise, but it could also greatly harm you.
The most important thing I can tell you, however, is that God loves you, and even if pain almost overwhelms you at times, God is still with you and wants to help you. By faith, invite Christ to come into your life, and then thank him every day that nothing — not even your pain — "will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:39). And someday you'll go to be with him in heaven, where pain will be no more.

Child soldiers: A battle we should win
- 7 Articles
Everyday, in more than 30 conflicts worldwide, from Sierra Lione, Congo, Sudan, Afghanistan, Burma, and etc, more than 300.000 child soldiers (both boys and girls) are witnessing and undergo a very horrible situation, which is war. They have to face brutality within their own pair of eyes that will hurt them emotionally and brings a huge threat to their existence. They're just children or teenagers like us, but they have to experience a very different stories than the rest of us. When we usually get up from bed to go to school, they go to war. When we usually meet history, math, or english at class, they meet their enemy that they have to shoot or kill. And they don't have a choice about it.
Most of the children who are involved in conflict are forced by adults, members of non-state actors such as rebel groups that will threat them if they refused to join, they are brainwashed, or even drugged so they want to fight for the groups. Those children are also pressured to economic and cultural pressure in their place. Many of them join the group as the only way to get daily foods to survive because they live in an extreme poverty. They do it without knowing the consequences and dangers they are going to meet in the warzone. For the 40% population of child soldiers in the world which happened to be girls, the scenario can be worse. The potential risk of sexual abuses, rape, and even exposed to be sex slave for the adults soldiers are remarkably high for the girls child soldiers.
Seeing terrible things happens in the warzone everyday makes them get used to it. And the fact that children thinks violence is something normal, is heartbreaking for me. Like what Ishmael Beah -a teenager in war-ravaged Sierra Leone- said to a interviewer from CNN, "Somebody being shot in front of you, or you yourself shooting somebody became just like drinking a glass of water. Children who refused to fight, kill or showed any weakness were ruthlessly dealt with". He also said that emotion is not allowed in the warzone. You can't cry for whatever reasons, and if you did your head soldiers can do whatever he wants to you or even shoot you. Can you imagine yourself being in that kind of situation? It's beyond hard i think. For children, all of these experiences that they got can cause a permanent bruises in their life, it can shaped their personality that they will bring for the rest of their life. That's why reintegrate them to the society is also difficult because generally, most ex child soldiers had a very bad trauma from what they have through since they are still immature and unstable when they face all of those impudence they used to witness. The vivid picture of what they saw in the warzone will still be there back on their mind even though they managed to go out from the situation.
As you read this article, another child soldiers is being recruited in a part of the world we don't know and this must be combated as soon as possible. We don't want to see another children giving up their dreams and visions about life for being in a harsh circumstances they don't belong to. War is already a bad circumstances for adults, let alone it is for innocent children that supposed to taste the excitement of education. War should not steal a children's future and for whatever reasons, it will never be justifiable. The issue of Child Soldiers is a battle we should win together.

W. E. B. Du Bois
W. E. B. Du Bois, a founder of the N.A.A.C.P. and a longtime editor of its publication, The Crisis, had worked since before the war to publish literary works by black authors and to promote racial pride. Du Bois believed that the most "talented tenth" of the race should help uplift the African-American masses. He encouraged the scholars, writers, and artists in the forefront of the "New Negro" movement, a term which utilized the preferred racial designation of the day and countered negative racial epithets.
Just as Emerson and Whitman had called for and developed a distinctly American literature based largely on the experience of pioneering expansion across the majestic continent, Du Bois initiated an African-American aesthetic. And just as Emerson's and Whitman's American sublime was to be judged by American and not European standards, Du Bois's black aesthetic was to conform to black and not white artistic values. This independent stance opened the door for poetry and fiction influenced by Negro spirituals, blues compositions, jazz, and African-American folklore, all cultural forms born out of a history of oppression and cultural marginalization.
Marcus Garvey
Inspired by Booker T. Washington's life and work at the Tuskegee Institute, Marcus Garvey established the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) on his native island of Jamaica in 1914. Washington died before the two men could meet, but Garvey persisted in his vision for an organization that would unite and uplift peoples of African descent throughout the world.
In 1916, Garvey moved to Harlem and shifted the headquarters of the UNIA as well. That same year, he solicited the cooperation and support of W. E. B. Du Bois. Du Bois, however, was uninterested and the two ultimately became foes, squaring off at each other from the pages of their respective publications.
Garvey's message of racial pride and autonomy found a willing membership among Harlem's citizens, and the UNIA hosted a mass meeting in 1920, bringing together thousands of delegates from the UNIA's many branches in the U.S. and abroad.
Garvey and his followers, often attired in military dress, planned a return to Africa and professed African nationalism. Drafted in 1920, the "Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World" proclaimed, "We believe in the freedom of Africa for the Negro people of the world, and by the principle of Europe for the Europeans and Asia for the Asiatics; we also demand Africa for the Africans at home and abroad."
J. Edgar Hoover distrusted Garvey and actively pursued him, eventually charging him with mail fraud. Following his trial, imprisonment, and 1927 deportation, Garvey's support declined significantly. The UNIA continued to exist, but did not command the attention it did during the first half of the decade.

Brad Reese�s basketball journey first took him from Laurel Hill to Southeast Louisiana, Gulf Coast Community College and Texas Tech University. In recent years, that journey for the 2006 Laurel Hill graduate has taken him halfway around the world.
Brad Reese�s basketball journey first took him from Laurel Hill to Southeast Louisiana, Gulf Coast Community College and Texas Tech University.
In recent years, that journey for the 2006 Laurel Hill graduate has taken him halfway around the world.
Last season, the 6-foot-7, 200-pound athlete played professionally in Spain. This year, Reese has taken his skills to the Czech Republic League; he plays Usti Nad Labem�s shooting guard.
To say the former Hobo star has made his presence felt on his new team would be an understatement.
Through 20 games, Reese led the team in scoring with 16.9 points per game and minutes played 30, was second in rebounding with 6.5 rebounds per game and blocked shots (.6 per game) and third in steals with 1.8 per game.
His best game of the season was on Nov. 7, when he scored 35 and had 12 rebounds against Decin.
Life as a professional basketball player � and newlywed, as he married last summer � agrees with Reese.
�I�m doing pretty good,� he said during a recent phone interview. �We are struggling as a team right now, but other than that, I�m actually playing pretty well. I�m playing OK, but what�s been tough is we�ve had three different coaches this year.
�I�ve been working trying to keep my career going right and just trying to play good basketball. My whole life, I dreamed of playing ball professionally either in the NBA (National Basketball Association) or overseas. I�ve been trying to get that going and keep getting better each and every day and trying to support my family.�
Playing abroad
Reese sees his year in Spain as being a positive experience, even though he didn�t see as much playing time as he would have liked.
�The team in Spain was a veteran club that had been playing together a while and I was one of the younger players,� he said. �I had to earn their respect first and I just never got the right shot to do it. But Spain, overall, is a really good basketball country.
�It is probably the best basketball country in Europe, by far. They just do things good professionally, and the style of basketball is just really good. Coming from Texas Tech to Spain, I could see similarities. It was really good basketball, talent-wise.�
The most difficult thing about his rookie season in Spain was the adjustment of being so far from home for the first time and learning how to play European-style basketball, Reese said.
�They call the travel more so you have to get used to that,� Reese said. �But other than that, it�s just getting comfortable in the situation that you are in. That�s the hardest thing: being away from home and getting used to the new situation and being comfortable in the country you are in.
�You miss your family and the language barrier can be tough. On the court, basketball is basketball. Since I was a young kid, I�ve played basketball and I do not think that�s changed.�
The European game is a little more physical than the one played in the United States, Reese said.
�In Spain, it was real physical,� he said. �Spain was more physical than the Czech Republic, that�s for sure.
�They let you bang in the post and hand check a lot, but you�ve just got to get used to it. Playing and practicing, you get use to it pretty quick.�
Although Reese and his bride, Brooke, honeymooned in Jamaica, he said they are enjoying the opportunity to have an extended honeymoon of sorts in the Czech Republic.
�I�ve got my wife with me and she�s enjoying it. We actually live pretty close to Prague, and it�s one of most beautiful places in Europe with all the old castles and bridges,� he said.
�It�s a different experience for both of us with the different culture and everything. And we are just trying to have fun and experience everything right now.�
Language barrier
The transition to the Czech Republic hasn�t been bad, as far as having to learn the language, Reese said.
He�s near the German border and the German and Czech people in the region speak English as a common language. His coach also speaks English, as do his teammates.
He has still tried to learn the basics so he can ask for directions or thank someone. And while Reese took four years of Spanish in school, he�s not ready to tackle Czech, which is considered one of the hardest European languages to learn.
Reese is embracing the Czech culture, too.
�It�s totally different from Florida and Texas,� he said. �Being here is real cool because everybody�s so down to earth. Everything is so much slower in the Czech Republic.
�Everybody just kind of goes slow and there�s not much really going on. I�m just trying to enjoy it. Playing ball in Europe has been my dream so I try to take the good with the bad and just know that I�m doing what I want to do for a living in playing basketball.
�And it�s just a blessing.�

Self Regulation and Codes of Practice
The requirements of data protection law are quite clear, and applying the rules and principles of data protection to your business activities is often a matter of common sense. However, for some businesses and professions, interpreting and applying data protection law is not so straightforward, and sometimes requires a fine appreciation of the ethical norms and standards, and the traditional expectations of good practice, associated with that sector. For that reason, the Data Protection Act, 1988 provides that representative trade associations should have a direct input into the establishment of data protection standards within their sector.
Section 13 of the Act provides that the Data Protection Commissioner
"shall encourage trade associations and other bodies representing categories of data controllers to prepare codes of practice to be complied with by those categories in dealing with personal data."
If the Commissioner agrees that such a code provides adequate data protection for individuals, he will formally approve it and encourage its use in the sector concerned. The Commissioner may also draw up such a code of practice on his own initiative. The standards laid down in such a code should help organisations to apply the data protection principles to the particular situations that they face in their sector.
Have Any Codes of Practice been Approved under the Data Protection Act?
The Commissioner has formally approved the following codes of practice.
- Garda Síochána (police force)
- Injuries Board
- Insurance Sector,
- Department of Education and Skills,
- Revenue Commissioners
- Vocational Education Committees
- The Probation Service
- Department of Health
The Commissioner has also approved a Personal Data Security Breach Code of Practice.
How can my Representative Body initiate a statutory Code of Practice?
If your representative association would like to initiate a code of practice, to clarify how data protection rules are to be applied for your sector, then we suggest that your association contact the Data Protection Commissioner, with a view to arranging discussions to progress the matter. The Commissioner will be glad to provide you with practical advice on what should be covered in your code of practice, and on how circumstances specific to your sector might be handled.
Contacting the Data Protection Commissioner

My Great Outdoors: Lee & John's Natural Modern Patio
Name: Lee & John
Location: Austin, Texas
Type of space: Backyard patio garden
Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: This backyard patio is our home away from home. We live a lot outdoors in Austin, and this is where we enjoy listening to the birds in the mornings, hosting parties, watching summer outdoor movies, and huddling around the fire pit in the winter. The patio is surrounded and scented by culinary herbs, like oregano, rosemary and sage, that smell wonderful in the breeze and sun.
We designed the patio in a "natural modern" style. So, there are lots of hard lines that define the space, but the plantings are largely naturalistic and a bit wild. Many of the plants are native, such as inland sea oats, turk's cap, feather grass and desert willow. Southern wax myrtle and bay trees line the edge, and as they grow and fill in, are beginning to create a nice green enclosing wall for the patio.
How did you create it? When we moved to this house three years ago there was already a well established garden, but it didn't quite suit our outdoor entertainment needs because the patio was too small. The previous owners had installed a really cool brick inlay that they had used as their patio. There was also an old cement foundation from a room that needed to be removed.
We decided to keep the circular brick inlay, but to expand the patio outward into a more modern square shape to fit more people. The patio is edged with steel and filled with pea gravel.
The walkway brings people into the space, doglegs around the garage and connects the house to the patio with the vegetable garden out back. It's made of local sawn limestone, and the pattern is based on Japanese path design. In Japanese garden design, I believe the style would be called "shin," which is highly controlled and clean. We were sure to design the limestone walk so as not to ever have four corners come together. A meeting of three is more aesthetically pleasing.
The low waddle fence surrounding the herb and perennial garden closest to the house (and kitchen) is made of local juniper branches (Texans call it cedar) that we harvested from a friend's country property. Largely, this is meant to be a sensory barrier for our blind dog. And, largely, it works, though sometimes she finds herself tromping through the middle of the garden anyway...
One of our neighbors made some great cement containers, and we are lucky enough to have scored a few. We used one of the round ones in combination with a rain chain. The other was turned into a fountain. There's a larger rectangular one that holds a few agaves.
By the walkway and underneath a growing desert willow is a bench that we made from wood picked up at Habitat Restore and from laying around the garage. It's beginning to warp and crack over time, which gives it a great organic, wabi-sabi feel. Like the waddle fence and naturalistic plantings, the bench seems like a nice counterpoint to the very linear limestone.
Pots surrounding the patio help to define the space as well. The two large ones are filled with a Mexican lime tree and a Meyer lemon tree.
And just on the other side of the patio is a directional sign that points to places and people that we love. On the same post grows a grape vine and hangs a native bee house, made from scraps of wood. Beyond all that is the veggie garden and the rest of the immense (and sometimes daunting) backyard.
Recommended store, site, product or resource? We hired a local firm called Dig It Gardens to pull out the cement foundation and install the steel edging and limestone pavers. Plants came from Barton Springs Nursery and the Natural Gardener. We found the fire pit at Breed & Co.

Debora Bell would be glad "if 3-D went away."
The Rockville printer is just the kind of filmgoer Hollywood wants to keep happy. Her family goes to movies every week. They get to the first screenings they can, usually at the 3-D-equipped AMC Columbia or Cinemark in Arundel Mills.
But they may travel from their home in Columbia to North Baltimore's Senator for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," because the Senator is showing it "flat" — and they don't want to see it in 3-D.
In the past six weeks, they've gone to "Thor," "X-Men: First Class," and "Green Lantern" in 3-D and in 2-D....

Hi all,
As you may have seen over the last couple of weeks the site has been crawling to a slow death. So I brought out those paddles that George Clooney uses and zapped it to life by transferring the Wordpress parts of it to the most kick ass computer I have access to. Which unfortunately is in Sweden -> looooong trip for those US packets to travel.
So I would like to hear from people visiting the site from difference places and see how you are experiencing the site now (as of Dec 5th)? Faster, slower, terrible?
And for those of who don't know the limitations we're working with here
1) We don't have access to change the NS servers of the domainname since they are owned by a 3rd party. This means a) we can't use any CDN like Cloudflare and b) we're stuck with Softlayer since that is the last entry for the NS servers!
2) We don't have a budget. Right now we're actually bleeding money for the server cost in comparison to what we get from Google ads etc.
So yeah, doing the best I can with those restrictions!

Tweed Fringe Dress with Matching Clutch Purse
Added Apr 2, 2013
Montreal, Canada
I am attending an indoor-outdoor daytime event in a town famous for severe humidity. I need a dress that is light and heavy in order to widthstand the steaming heat and the chill of air-conditioning. The attire is dressy-casual. This does not mean semi-formal which has an evening feel or business-casual which makes me think of dockers and shoes with no socks. I have decided to make the Burda Boucle Dress for the occasion. Last week I bought a beautiful charcoal multicolored tweed on sale. Notions are on sale later this week. I can't wait to cut and sew up my dress in order to show it off step-by-step.
Material Notes
A) In my opinion, a boucle fabric may work nicely but a fun tweed seems more suitable for this design.
B) Paragraph 2 of the sewing instructions needs line-by-line illustrations. This is the extensively detailed construction of the most visible part of the dress.
C) I recommend shoring up the edges of the smaller pieces so the tweed doesn't unravel as much. An overlock around edges eased my mind.
I made a matching day clutch purse to go with my outfit.
Thanks, Burda.
Pattern Note: Burda, I find the Boucle Dress pattern incomplete at the neckline and collar but as a learning intermediate I managed to make it work with a few additions and my mother's expert advice. Please don't forget your home sewing clientele. We love high fashion as much as designers do. Keep the new patterns coming…and I loved getting a free bonus pattern for my 3 online purchases.

Thanks for your post, I started this dress and at the very beginning I'm lost your picture was a big help. Please keep posting.
This is my first time posting, I saw the lighting bolt symbol & thought it was used to post to your comment, but what came up was "Marked as inappropriate" and I can't turn it off. I hope this will not cause any issues.
Thanks for your post at the right time
