Setting the record straight on wilderness
It's been a good year for wilderness. In March, the Omnibus Lands Bill designated over 2 million acres of wilderness in nine states. In September, President Obama declared a month-long celebration of the Wilderness Act, and this November, the United States, Canada and Mexico signed the world's first international agreement on wilderness conservation.
Perhaps because wilderness has been getting serious consideration in Washington, there's been a backlash. Proposals for new wilderness areas -- especially the big ones being debated in Utah and the Northern Rockies -- become punching bags for those who regard wilderness as a four-letter word. Opponents say it blocks access, locks up resources and worsens fire problems. They claim it hinders local use of the land, reserving it for the rich and out-of-state.
The criticisms offer an opportunity to set a few things straight. First, although some claim wilderness excludes people, it's good to recall that Congress created the designation "for the use and enjoyment of the American people." Early wilderness proponents were hunters, stock riders, hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Seeing how roads brought more and more cars and development to their favorite haunts, they were the ones who urged the government to preserve places where their admittedly small numbers could enjoy the public estate. In an age of rampant off-road vehicle traffic, I'm thankful for their efforts.
Next, while wilderness is often painted as the creation of a liberal elite, the 1964 Wilderness Act passed with broad support in Congress. The final product was the work of both political parties, following eight years of debate. It was a compromise, born in the darkest days of the Cold War, when the specter of nuclear annihilation forced many to consider the physical and psychological values to the human spirit of undeveloped nature.
The Wilderness Act recognized that, even in 1964, most of the American landscape was already developed. Truly remote places were becoming rare. The law decreed that certain federal lands with outstanding qualities of solitude and beauty would remain roadless and undeveloped. Today, the protection covers about 109 million acres, roughly 5 percent of the nation's landmass.
Early advocates knew that wilderness offered benefits aside from recreation. In the 45 years since the law's passage, scientists seem to have never stopped learning about the importance of permanently protected roadless landscapes.
Take our fire problem. It stems from a century of misguided fire suppression that led to crowded, fire-prone woods. Climate change, with its diminished snowpacks, enhances extended droughts. Added to the mix is too much sprawl and development, thanks to short-sighted Western communities. Astoundingly, some blame wilderness for the fire problem, yet for decades, big wilderness areas like Sequoia-Kings Canyon in California and the Bob Marshall in Montana have provided a laboratory for experiments that will save millions of acres of unhealthy woods, not to mention many homes.
Then there's wildlife. Every year, it seems, another study demonstrates that grizzly bears and other animals require large intact areas in order to survive. In short, roads kill. With scientists such as E.O. Wilson warning that up to half of the Earth's species could soon disappear, wilderness is more than ever a key to protecting wildlife, from grizzlies to butterflies.
We also have wilderness to thank for dramatic improvements in air and water quality. In the mid-'70s, some of our most effective air-quality laws were inspired by the threat to clean air in parks and wilderness, and for tens of millions of us, wilderness also provided that last glass of clean water. Whether it's a few thousand acres in Vermont or the immense Wrangell-Saint Elias in Alaska, wilderness always offers us the opportunity to reacquaint ourselves with the natural world that sustains us.
Many of us are realizing the truth of what John Muir said over a century ago, that going into wilderness is going home. This message has critical importance in the 21st century, when the future of so much life is in the hands of humanity. In our era, it's not the size or number of wilderness areas that will save life on earth; sadly, they will always be too small and fragmented for that. Instead, it's the psychological and emotional impact that wilderness has on us. America needs wilderness to keep its soul alive.

It turns out there were people who looked at the ultra extreme, four-off, $4.6 million Lamborghini Veneno from earlier this year and said "Um, that's nice… but what else ya got?"
This sent the mad scientists of Sant'Agata back to the drawing board, where they came up with this: the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster, an open-top monster of a car that costs a slightly more exclusive version that also costs $4.6 million. Low-res shots of the roofless Veneno leaked out last night.
No, it's literally roofless. It's not a convertible. There is no roof. If it starts to rain when you're out driving in it, you'll have to pop an umbrella or just drive faster. With a 6.5-liter, 740 horsepower V12 behind you, that shouldn't be too hard.
Top Gear says that the Veneno Roadster, named after a bull that once gored its matador to death in 1914 (That's encouraging!), will be slightly less exclusive than its roofed brother. A grand total of nine will be made, and they can be spec'd in any color you want.
I think I'm gonna get two.

Do you have something deep and meaningful to talk about? Perhaps you'd rather just talk about certain parts of your anatomy. If you do have something thought provoking to say, or rather type, then do so! we want to hear about it, discuss it, and attack you for it Seriously, let's try to be mostly civil and keep the flaming to the friendly variety as we get going here. No problems yet, mostly because there have been very few posts so far, but why not keep things cool. For now, I will throw out something sure to draw some juicy discussion, assuming you're into this kind of thing (otherwise, start your own topic and talk about what you like there, please, just talk!) anway, here it is:
what are you thoughts on the latest election? republicans getting big majorities in lots of places, good or bad? Does it serve those pinko commie democrats right, so we can get back on the right track, or are those damn reactionary facist republicans screwing up all of our progress? Maybe somewhere in between, it's fun to be wishy washy. Discuss amongst yourselves, I'm a little verklempt

Everybody seems to be pretty peeved with Mr. Vick...even PETA! Those plucky characters spent yesterday afternoon picketing outside NFL headquarters. Of course Roger Goodell wasn't actually there to see it, he was safe from their mutton chopped intimidators in his subterranean bunker.
On Thursday Vick got his first taste of the legal process when he was served with a summons courtesy of the U.S. Marshals. Tommy Lee Jones was unavailable for comment so we'll go with the next best thing, The Smoking Gun.
The Smoking Gun has learned. The Atlanta Falcons quarterback, 27, was processed in the marshals office in the U.S. District Court in Richmond (Vick apparently slipped unnoticed into the building). Along with posing for mug shots, Vick had his various tattoos photographed by a marshal.
Silly Mike, now you'll never get that Jewish cemetery plot. But seriously, it's not as if a "Puppy Eichman" tattoo on a guy's back is any indication of guilt.

Posted by Christian Scharen on Sunday, September 01, 2013 12:25 AM
I've been praying for and thinking about the many new students headed out into various ministry contexts. Of course, I'm thinking of interns, supervisors, lay committees, and congregations getting started together just now. Also, I think of Teaching Congregation students, new to Luther and to theological education, trying to find a learning context to accompany them during years of classwork.
Many of you, dear readers, are NOT connected to a new internship. You might be tempted to skip this article. Bear with me: what I'm after here connects us all, and the new internships especially. The challenge I want to put before us for brief reflection is: facilitating newcomer participation. It is not easy, and without discipline, most of us aren't much good at it. But boy does it matter!
While I've been thinking of all these new relationships beginning, I've read Jessicah Duckworth's new book Wide Welcome (Augsburg Fortress 2013). I know, she's left Luther Seminary for a wonderful new job at Lilly Endowment in Indianapolis. We're sorry and glad at the same time. Don't worry, though, she's coming back as a keynote speaker for Mid-Winter Convocation January 29-31.
Wide Welcome outlines a provocative perspective on facilitating newcomer participation in chapter three. Drawing on the groundbreaking research of Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger, she unfolds a process more about embodied communal practice than transfer of information. The key word is apprenticeship, and to unpack how apprenticeship, Lave and Wenger use the phrase "legitimate peripheral participation." Her aim, to be sure, is understanding how congregations can do better work welcoming those the Spirit moves to intersect with our congregations. I think these ideas are totally applicable for what supervisors and lay committees do for new seminarians entering their midst.
Let me give a teaser by unpacking the phrase "legitimate peripheral participation" and then encourage you to get the book and read it with a study group at your church. "Legitimate" means both giving recognition for the newcomer's status, and to giving access to resources and people from whom the newcomer needs to learn how things go here. "Peripheral" is recognition that as a newcomer, you've got to observe actively before you are ready to lead anything. But "participation" shows the peripherality is not distant, but present, involved, engaged. One participates alongside the legitimate leader. Talking about baptismal sponsors, Jessicah writes: "Sponsors not only 'show a way' but also provide a buffer for newcomers to ask questions and make mistakes. 'Granting newcomers legitimacy is important because they are likely to come short of what the community regards as competent engagement. Only with enough legitimacy can all their inevitable stumblings and violations become opportunities for learning rather than cause for dismissal, neglect, or exclusion'."
So, newcomers and sponsors, let's get on some 'legitimate peripheral participation'! Easier said than done, I know. I hope through our fall cluster meetings we can learn some of the wisdom of how you all do this work together.

How are decays related to forces, what is meant by particle X decays through the, say, strong force?
The way I understand forces is by how they change the acceleration of particles with the right charge (mass, electric etc), through F=ma, how does it cause one particle to turn into other?
How is it determined which force is responsible for which decays?
Can a particle decay through the gravitational interaction?

Since I have gigantic wax-magnet ear canals, I'm probably the wrong market for these Klipsch IMAGE in-ear earphones. They're the smallest, lightest in-ear buds you can get (claim by Klipsch so far unverified), but will cost you $349 for the pleasure of having a pair made out of aluminum and copper. We're not sure how well Klipsch's speaker experience will translate into making earbuds, but even if they sound mediocre, you'll be able to prevent them from being stuck inside your ear with the locking rings.

Carlos Hyde saves Buckeyes, but never should have played
EVANSTON, Ill. -- The game is superficial, another victory on a growing unbeaten streak with no end in sight.
Ohio State is that good after a gutty win over Northwestern, the Big Ten is that average, and the argument of whether the Buckeyes are BCS-worthy will rage on with each passing week.
That's not the point here, everyone. The point is the man of the hour in this critical Big Ten game shouldn't even have been on the field.
MORE: Week 6 photos | Scoreboard | Georgia's escape | Top 10 college football rivalries
The man who saved Ohio State's 18-game winning streak, the man who carried his team in the second half when All-Everything quarterback Braxton Miller couldn't, is the same man who hit a woman this offseason.
And lived to play another day of college football.
That was Ohio State tailback Carlos Hyde in the postgame press conference, getting emotional and having to compose himself when he was asked by the Ohio State media -- check that, the Ohio State cheerleaders -- how it felt to have a big game after "all you've been through."
"It was hard," Hyde said, stopping for more than 30 seconds while trying to compose himself and wipe tears from his eyes.
He thanked God for the strength "to get through this." He thanked his coaches and teammates, saying, "I felt like I let my brothers down."
He said he "made a mistake" and that it was "really hard not being out there for the first three games."
I wonder if it has been hard for the girl Hyde hit? You know, the girl who refused to press charges at the time against Hyde -- even though there was video evidence of Hyde hitting her.
MORE: 10 of the best Big Ten trophies
Why do women refuse to press charges against men who batter them? The No. 1 reason: fear of retaliation. (Editor's note: section updated to reflect charges not filed.)
Or in this case, fear of living in Columbus and doing something -- anything -- to sidetrack the train to Pasadena. If you don't think this woman, who still hasn't spoken publicly about the case, isn't fearful of what could be, let me explain what happened in that post-game press conference:
After Hyde broke down and told a packed room of Ohio State media how hard it was for him to not play a game -- for the love of Brutus, it's a game, people -- one of the three TV bobbleheads who stood next to the podium to send back live feeds to Columbus, said to Hyde, "Good answer."
Listen, Hyde isn't the only one who shouldn't be playing college football. If you watched Georgia's thrilling victory over LSU last week, it was very easy to see why LSU coach Les Miles had the stones to proclaim he let "the team" decide if Hill -- who punched a man in the head while on probation -- should be allowed to play this season.
And it's easy to see why Ohio State coach Urban Meyer thought a three-game suspension for Hyde was appropriate. Without Hyde, Ohio State doesn't beat Northwestern.
Without Hyde, Ohio State's offense is bogged down from critical mistakes by Miller -- so many, in fact, that Meyer admitted he was "close" to replacing Miller with backup Kenny Guiton.
Without Hyde, Ohio State's 18-game unbeaten streak under Meyer -- the streak where the Buckeyes haven't beaten a team ranked higher than No. 16 Northwestern -- is finished. Hyde rushed for 168 yards and scored three touchdowns, and physically wore down the undersized Wildcats.
Without Hyde, the idea that Ohio State could somehow compete at the highest level of the game despite not showing it in back-to-back prove-it weekends against Wisconsin and Northwestern, is finished.
To Meyer's credit, he didn't go for the chum thrown out by the Ohio State media when asked "how hard it was for Hyde to miss three games."
"Everyone makes mistakes," Meyer said. "I hope this is a game that helps him turn it around."
If you're going to blame someone, don't blame Meyer or Miles. If you're going to point the finger, point it at university presidents who allow this nonsense to continue; who give coaches free reign and look the other way.
Of course a coach is going to do whatever he can to keep a star player eligible. His job depends on it. His family's happiness depends on it. His personal well-being depends on it.
Do you really think a guy who is making $4 million a year (like Meyer and Miles) isn't going to give a bad seed of a kid another chance when his very livelihood depends on it?
At halftime, as the Ohio State staff met with players to work through what led to a 20-13 deficit, Hyde said he was told by coaches to get ready to become more of a factor in the game.
"They were going to ride me," Hyde said. "I was excited to hear it."
Hyde had 11 touches on 37 plays for 65 yards in the first half. He had 19 touches on 37 plays for 141 yards and three touchdowns in the second half.
He never should have been on the field.
When Meyer arrived at Ohio State last year, he said he wanted to do things the right way. He had issues with entitlement and rogue players at Florida, and admitted in July that, "we made mistakes" at Florida.
To make sure his declaration wouldn't be misconstrued, he had "Decisions" painted onto a wall in the Ohio State football offices. Under that bold scarlet lettering is this commandment: treat women with respect.
As he was running off the field and into the Ohio State locker room, and as fans cheered him, a group of women reached down from the stands to give him a high-five.
"When I'm in the game now," Hyde said, stopping again to wipe tears, "I feel like I have a different hunger for the game."
Good answer.

Old Saybrook woman charged with keeping son in dog crate
OLD SAYBROOK (AP) -- Police say a Connecticut woman is facing charges for making her son sleep in a locked dog crate because he was acting out and soiling his bed.
Kathlyn Anthony of Old Saybrook was released on $100,000 bond following an initial court appearance Monday on a charge of risk of injury to a minor.
The 54-year-old woman was arrested Sunday after an investigation. Police say the boy's sister told school officials that she was tired because she kept getting up at night to let her brother out of his "sleep locker."
Police say the crate was 36 inches by 22 inches, and 30 inches high.
Anthony told police she had been seeking outside help for the boy's behavior. She refused to comment outside court.
Police didn't disclose the boy's age.

Christians who don't believe in baptizing infants generally hold to the notion of "the age of accountability." This means that children below a certain age (which varies) do not really sin because they don't know what they are doing and therefore are not accountable. After they reach that point, they can understand their sinfulness, repent, and make a "decision" for Christ.
An article in the evangelical publication Christianity Today recounts some fascinating experiments that show that infants do, in fact, have a moral sensibility.
I don't know that these experiments can address the question of "accountability," but they do show that infants are not blank slates, to be programmed as we will. Rather, they are complex human beings with an innate sense of right and wrong.
And thus, we Lutherans say, they are good candidates for baptism.
FURTHER THOUGHT: These experiments also provide evidence that the Law is "written on the heart" (Romans 2:15), rather than morality simply being a social construction, as is often assumed today.
Rebecca Randall, What Science Says About the Age of Accountability… | Christianity Today:
Christians have tended to consider whether babies have a sin nature. The emphasis is on culpability—are children capable of right and wrong? Parents know even young children are capable of behaving badly or well. Because of this, Christians have debated an age of accountability, attempting to account for how God might still save children who haven't reached an age when they understand their sin.
Yet as modern science asks questions about babies' morality, it helps us consider human nature as morality developed throughout our lives from infanthood to our senior years. What we find is not so black and white but a developed sense of morality resulting from a mix of nature and nurture.
Can My Baby Sin?
First, in contradiction with early philosophers, psychologists are finding that humans aren't a blank slate at birth. As Paul Bloom, the author of Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil concludes, "With the help of well-designed experiments, you can see glimmers of moral thought, moral judgment and moral feeling even in the first year of life. Some sense of good and evil seems to be bred in the bone."

Search feature
I tried searching 'Musicians' for Newcastle and ended up with all mentions of Newcastle across the board, with some tabs for the various sections to navigate at the top. When I clicked the Musicians section, I was sent to a life-bouy and a 'sorry!' message. It's happened a few times over recent weeks - any ideas?
the search function is rubbish
and sadly we don't have the budget to improve it (developers cost LOADS, so we only get about 3 days of developer time per month)
try using google and including site:drownedinsound.com in your search
That is refreshingly honest!

For people who want to live past 100, the first step is taking a whole bunch more steps.
A recent survey found half of all centenarians are exercising almost every day. Most are walking, but many also are lifting weights, practicing yoga, biking or playing group sports.
There are an estimated 72,000 centenarians across the country, and the number is expected to grow to 600,000 by 2050, according to UnitedHealthcare, which conducted the poll. To get into this group, others who work with seniors and some who are in their advanced years say, senior citizens should tie on some sneakers and get moving.
"Exercise is for everybody," said Dr. William Howard, a founder of Union Memorial Sports Medicine and a senior physician with the Arnold Palmer SportsHealth Center in Baltimore. "No matter how old or infirm or overweight, there is an exercise for you. There are many things to do besides tennis or running a marathon."
Howard said all people should get into the habit of exercising at a young age and keep it up. Stopping makes it harder to start up again, he said. He called it a "forever program."
The benefits are countless, from improved heart and general muscle heath to mental wellness. Exercise also improves sleep, confidence and balance. And it makes people more social, Howard said.
Howard, 78, used to play rugby but now jogs, rides a bike and does some work in the gym — all things he likes, which he said is key to keeping up the workouts.
He said many people quit after developing a little soreness, but they should expect that from a new activity. If the pain gets worse, he said, see a sports medicine doctor who can assess the workout and recommend modifications to the program and more appropriate equipment, such as better-fitting shoes.
But nobody has to stop exercising, he said. He hopes it even becomes addictive.
"You say you want to be a runner, and then you think after a while you'd like to race," he said. "Maybe then you decide you'd be better and faster if you stopped smoking. Then you say, 'I bet I'd do even better if I dropped 20 pounds.' And you can drop the weight if you eat better. Before you know it, you have a healthy lifestyle."
Whatever seniors do, he said, they should not sit back and think they've done enough exercising for their lifetime.
Many people approaching their senior years are active, according to a recent survey by AARP. The advocacy group found that seven in 10 adults ages 45 and older say they are physically active. About half of them say they exercise up to four hours a week.
However, almost two-thirds say they are less active than they were five years ago.
O. Lee McCabe isn't one of them. And his workouts aren't for wimps.
At 72, he's bench-pressing 120 pounds to warm up for his training three or four times a week. He's a competitive pentathlon athlete — which includes throwing heavy objects, such as a shot, javelin and, his favorite, the discus. In the last three years, he's competed in 60 to 70 track meets.
He's earned dozens of medals, many of them gold. They had been tucked away until recently, when his son, who has become an accomplished athlete himself through encouragement from his father, recently decided to display them in the family's basement gym in Ellicott City.
McCabe has been competing in one sport or another since he was 15, and his slim build, muscled arms and strong stride make him look years younger. He attributes that to his regimen, even if he's had a few aches and pains. He recently had his shoulder replaced, long after it was injured when he was regularly practicing karate in the 1970s. (He's a black belt.)
Knee replacements are next for McCabe, who works as a researcher in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and School of Medicine.
"I'll keep competing until I wear out all of my joints, and then I'll ask for new joints and compete more," he said. "The benefits definitely outweigh the costs."
He recommends that others getting started begin slowly, keep with it and use proper technique in whatever the activity might be. Hopefully, it's as much fun as throwing heavy things.
Something like Zumba? About 40 seniors at the Jewish Community Center in Park Heights have found their passion with the Latin aerobic workout.
Most found the class by word of mouth, and many had not been doing any exercising before — or not enjoying what they were doing.
Those in the class are generally between the ages of 65 and 80. One woman is in her 90s, and on a recent day, everyone completed the whole hour of dance moves.
"I wouldn't miss this class unless I had a broken leg," said Elaine Ozol, 77, of Mount Washington, wiping sweat from her brow after a recent session.
Added Allie Lieberman, 76, of Pikesville: "It takes care of what's wrong with you and what's was going to be wrong with you."
For 69-year-old Beatrice Gotthelf, who has Parkinson's disease, the exercise "keeps me loose."
The women were joined by Beulah Wallace, 80, and Deb Jones, 79, who said the class has gotten them into shape and kept them that way. It has also allowed them to forge bonds with each other.
And that's exactly what Jackie Foreman was going for. She's the fitness center and personal training supervisor at the Park Heights JCC.
Zumba can be ratcheted up or down, depending on each participant's abilities, she said. And it's appealing to people who normally get to dance only at weddings and bar mitzvahs.
"It's a gateway exercise," she said. "Some seniors have been exercising their whole lives, but we brought some nonexercisers into an exercise space. … It's meeting their physical and mental needs because they're remembering steps. And it's a community activity. They're enjoying being together."
Studies show that women and others who exercise will live longer and feel better for their efforts, said Dr. William B. Greenough III, a professor in the Hopkins Bayview Medical Center's' department of geriatric medicine and gerontology.
At 80, he has 15 marathons under his belt, and he and his wife still regularly compete in races.
He said research shows a half-hour of exercise three or four times a week brings optimal benefits, and those who exercise generally need far fewer medications.
He agreed there may be a little bit of pain or soreness, but once seniors push past the first 10 or 15 minutes, it should become more comfortable. Pain that doesn't subside may mean a doctor's attention and another exercise are in order. Swimming, stationary biking, gym workouts and yoga may be good alternatives for those with arthritis, balance problems or cardiac conditions.
Greenough recommended consulting a physical therapist or personal trainer if the doctor doesn't have good advice — or doesn't even bring up the issue of exercise. Many hospitals have physical therapy facilities.
"Even housework helps," he said. "You can adjust to a new level of activity in six to eight weeks, and it may take a year to get a whole lot of benefit. You can't quit. If you want to live longer, there isn't any pill that does it."
Who is exercising
About half of 100 centenarians polled say they exercise almost every day.
•Nearly 45 percent of the centenarians cite walking as their favorite physical activity; 11 percent practice yoga, tai chi or other mind/body/spirit activity; 8 percent ride a bike regularly; 5 percent jog; and 2 percent engage in sports like baseball, basketball, soccer or tennis.
More than seven in 10 adults age 45 and older say they are physically active.
Fewer than one in 10 adults age 45 and older say they plan to start regular exercise in the next month.
About one in 5 adults age 45 and older say they do not engage in regular physical activity and do not have plans to start.

Getting started
•Start slowly. You may be a bit sore at first as your body adjusts, and that's normal.
•Weight training is fine, though weight machines provide more stability than free weights and help users maintain proper technique. Same goes for stationary bikes. And swimming is also a good, safe alternative.
•Work out five or six days every week to maintain conditioning, but allow for relaxation and recovery.
•Keep a log so you can chart progress and see if you're missing too many workouts.
•Find an exercise that is fun, or is scheduled, like a class, so you keep it up.
•You don't necessarily need to see a doctor before getting going with walking, for example, unless you have pre-existing conditions that concern you.
•If you do have pain, see a doctor, preferably a sports medicine doctor. That doctor can best assess pain or recommend a better exercise program or shoe. (Most of the time, knee pain, for example, means you have a problem with your feet, like you need better shoes or inserts.)
•A little Advil or Tylenol, or even glucosamine, can take the edge off beginners' aches.
•Make sure to stay hydrated.

Fitness and arthritis
Arthritis is a common malady that keeps seniors from exercising. But Dr. William Howard, a founder of Union Memorial Sports Medicine and a senior physician with the Arnold Palmer SportsHealth Center in Baltimore, says exercise does not cause arthritis, and can even help prevent it by toning muscles, especially in the legs that support the knees, a prime target for the joint disease.
Exercise can, however, irritate the painful condition. Howard suggests swimming, a no-gravity exercise. It lengthens and stretches muscles and loosens joints a bit. He also suggests riding a stationary bicycle on a low tension so it doesn't strain the knees or hips. And weight training is OK but with light weights and high repetition to tone not bulk muscles.
"If anything hurts when you do it, it's probably wrong, but there is plenty you can do with very little, if any, pain," he said.

Banner art from Kingdom Come by DC Comics
Game Artisans just wrapped up an exciting comic-based challenge, and not surprisingly many of the coolest-looking entries came from ZBC members. Like we did with the Dominance War, we thought it would be great to put these entries together in one place.
The rules were simple: Take your favorite "action-based" comic book super hero or super villain and create a fan-based representation of him, her, or it! Archie is not an action hero and neither is Garfield; however, Wolverine, Alita, Phoenix, Flash, Cyclops, Superman, Batman, Gambit, Daredevil, Electra, Joker, Magneto, G.I.Joe, Ninja Turtles, and many many more are all glorious examples of exactly what we are looking for during this challenge. The only two restrictions: No robots, and one of your final images MUST include a small comic book cover of the character you chose to make a fan based representation of for this event.
Please visit the special Comicon Contest Forum and show your support for your fellow ZBrush champions!
WINNERS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED! You will no doubt recognize several ZBC members from the winners list, including our own Alex Velasquez (brutikong) with the 1st Place entry. Please join us in congratulating all of our winners!

Item # PAR0208Item # PAR0208
You don't need to be a mechanic to have a stand like one.
Like the PCS-10 Home Mechanic Stand, Park Tool's PRS-25 Team Issue Repair Stand employs a folding design for easy storage and a three-point base for stability on any surface -- be it smooth concrete in your garage or in a rain soaked gravel lot at a 24 hour race. But compared to the PCS-10, the Team Issue Stand has a few added niceties.
The clamp unit is cam actuated, like a giant quick-release lever, and it has micro adjustment capability. So you've got a bike that's worth more than your car? No worries, as you can dial in the clamping pressure like a baby soft caress. And for funky frame geometry, the clamp head is narrower at 2.7" to get into tight spots. The Team Issue clamp can open to safely accommodate frame tubes from 7/8" to 3". The jaws open along the plane of the bike, so it works great for deep, aero-shaped frame tubes. The clamp head can be rotated to work on your bike at any angle. And to accommodate different sized bikes and different sized mechanics, the Team Issue Repair Stand is height adjustable to 60" at the clamp. It even has a soft rubber saddle cradle to protect your seatpost and saddle if you just want to hang the bike quickly from the clamp body.
The Park Tool PRS-25 Team Issue Repair Stand is all aluminum so it's strong enough for regular use and lightweight as well. At just 13 pounds, you won't hesitate to throw it into the car for a weekend trip to the races. It folds down to just 47" for easy storage when not in use.
- 360-degree clamp rotation add versatility, and fully adjustable clamping pressure prevents crushing carbon tubes
- Straps connected to aluminum legs ensure all parts slide, fold and unfold together
- 60-inch adjustable clamping height makes lubing those hard-to-reach places easy.
- Hex-shaped aluminum tubing keeps flex low and eliminates rotation
- Soft, durable composite-rubber clamping pads protect your frame from scratches
- 100-25D Professional Micro Adjust Clamp quickly clamps and releases nearly any tube from 7/8 to 3 inch (23-76mm), including aero tubes
- Adjustable cam-actuated clamp with 360-degree rotation
- Soft rubber clamping pads
- 60in maximum height
- Accommodates all tube shapes from 7/8 to 3in in diameter

Reviews & Community
It's all about the clamp!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I was pleasantly surprised by how light the stand is. It is very easy to set up (and I will leave it up). I love the action of the clamp which tightens most of the way by a simple closing of the turning arm, then fine tunes with a quick twist. I plan to add the towel holder and part tray over the next few months. This is my second stand...I spent a long time looking...and feel as if I made the right choice. My only question was about the high price, but I ended up with a $50 off seasonal offer.
Fantastic Portable Stand
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a wonderful stand for home and on the road. It is sturdy, and easy to clamp your bike on to, and holds the bike steady. It breaks down in no time and that makes it great to take on trips and easy to store out of the way. Beside my bike, this is one of the better investments I've made.
Great Stand
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Really easy to store, set up, and take down. Clamp seems really bomber. The folding mechanism for the legs is very smooth and easy to operate.
Best in class
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I chose this over Feedback Elite due to lifetime warranty and responsiveness of Park Tool customer support. Good luck getting a response from Feedback support in case there is an issue.
I have used stand more than half a dozen times since I bought it two weeks ago. Easy to setup, fold & stow away. Lightweight yet sturdy. No cheap parts. Bikes don't move once on the stand. Makes it easy to work on bike.
Wrench it down!
This is probably the best purchase I have made for the bike in a while. Doing repair work at home is a bit difficult with the bike flipped upside down. This makes wrenching on your bike a lot easier. Takes no time to setup and breakdown, and it folds up nicely to be stashed in a closet, etc.
Don't Leave Home Without One!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
A truly great mobile repair stand! Strong, stable, awesome clamp for aero seat posts. Works great on my Specialized Venge Pro - Sram Force 22. Easy to adjust bike to many positions. Attractive, and durable aluminum rust free for washing bikes.
Can't imagine not having one
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bit the bullet and finally purchased a 'real' stand. After years of frustration and a sore back I now can't imagine not having one. Being able to clamp my sons bike and rotate it so I could work standing up made me a believer. I can't believe I waited so long to pick one up. This one really is light but my advice is if you're thinking about it just get one, any of the park stands are worth the money!
Portable = Easy Maintenance
Excellent stand for taking on the road. Take this to Moab for training, take it to races and have the ease of working in a stand in place of balancing your bike against your car. After all when you travel you are on the road with limited time to ride, don't waist it wrenching. I have this stand and love it. In fact, at my home shop it is the stand I use every day. Has a nice rotating clamp so you can get that right angle to work on the bike. The clamp also adjusts so you can work on the road bike and the mtb with easy clamp change for different tube diameters. Durable, portable, light.

What's that saying about how you should dance like no one is watching? That credo certainly paid off for Ellie Cole.
The British woman, 35, was captured on video dancing while waiting at a bus stop by a café owner across the street. The video went viral and now she's been rewarded with a role in a show at the country's Point Theatre.
Although viewers watched her cutting a rug to Abba's 'Dancing Queen,' Cole was actually dancing along to a song called 'Knock Down' by Alesha Dixon.
The hoopla has certainly caught her off-guard. She said, "I'm just a normal everyday person who happens to like dancing at bus stops."
Cole had intended to study performing arts when she was younger, but she had to drop out of school due to money issues, so you know the offer to be in a show is one she appreciates. "It's very flattering and humbling," she says.
And, for the record, she'll be appearing in the musical 'Ah Men!'

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 4 diseños de 1 diseñadores freelance.
Volt Boats, LLC
Volt Boats, LLC is a new startup company that has developed one of the world's first hybrid human/electric powered kayak. The concept came about in 2001 when one of the co-founders, Dick, lost control in an unexpected current during a paddling adventure in Alaska. Fortunately, a friend on a powered boat nearby was able to assist in rescuing. This incident prompted the idea for creating a hybrid human/electric powered kayak. Fast forward to now--- Volt Boats, LLC is finally ready to realize its first product, the K1.
The K1 is the culmination of over seven years of engineering and design. It features a highly advanced Integrated Design System (IDS), which has focused around the needs of real people. The muscle of Volt Boats lies in the patent-pending Power Pod, which houses a 1/2 horsepower-equivalent, rare-earth-magnet power motor along with a torque-increasing transmission and electronic steering system. The K1 also boasts flexible options for power that support both needs and budget. Steering could not be easier with a rugged joystick, optional foot pedals, or the copilot remote control. GPS will included in future models that will allow four innovative features: Hold Course, Go Home, Compass, and Speed-over-ground.
The K1 kayak is mainly designed for casual kayak paddlers and also anglers. The boat is relatively light and easy to use, so could be used for entire family outings.
This brochure will be given out to dealers at a large trade show.
Attached is a Microsoft Publisher file (VoltBrochure1.pub) with a rough sketch of what we'd like the brochure to look like. The .pub file has a standard template for a tri-fold brochure.
The FINAL folded brochure should be in the shape of a kayak. I have attached an .eps file (boatdeck.eps), which shows the basic outline of the kayak. The is just to get an idea of what the kayak looks like, the brochure DOES NOT have to be to scale with this drawing.
As far as design,
The front cover of the brochure should contain a picture of the kayak along with our logo which is included (Volt Final.ai). along with the title in the publisher file.
On the inside of the brochure, starting at the we'd like to have a landscape scene of an ocean and then integrate a picture of our kayak. In the bottom left corner, we'd like to include a table of benefits (benefitstable.doc)
On the middle we'd like to have 5 bullet points with our 5 most important features (features.doc)
On the right, we'd like have our PowerPod featured, there is information about the powerpod in features.doc, below this we'd like to have catchy text saying " Preorder online at voltboats.com with a $99, 100% refundable deposit"
On one of the back panels we'd like to feature the company story (story.doc), as well as info about specifications (Boat Specs.doc)

Test.Simple - Basic utilities for writing JavaScript tests.
<script type="text/javascript">
plan({ tests: 1 });
ok( foo == bar, 'foo is bar' );
This is an extremely simple, extremely basic module for writing tests suitable for JavaScript classes and other pursuits. If you wish to do more complicated testing, use Test.More (a drop-in replacement for this one).
The basic unit of testing is the ok. For each thing you want to test your program will print out an "ok" or "not ok" to indicate pass or fail. You do this with the ok() function (see below).
The only other constraint is that you must pre-declare how many tests you plan to run. This is in case something goes horribly wrong during the test and your test program aborts, or skips a test or whatever. You do this like so:
<script type="text/javascript">
plan({ tests: 23 });
You must have a plan.
- ok
ok( foo == bar, description ); ok( foo == bar );
ok() is given an expression (in this case
foo == bar). If it's true, the test passed. If it's false, it didn't. That's about it.
ok() prints out either "ok" or "not ok" along with a test number (it keeps track of that for you).
// This produces "ok 1 - Hell not yet frozen over" (or not ok) ok( getTemperature(hell) > 0, 'Hell not yet frozen over' );
If you provide a
description, that will be printed along with the "ok/not ok" to make it easier to find your test when if fails (just search for the name). It also makes it easier for the next guy to understand what your test is for. It's highly recommended you use test names.
Test.Simple will start by printing number of tests run in the form "1..M" (so "1..5" means you're going to run 5 tests). This strange format lets Test.Harness know how many tests you plan on running in case something goes horribly wrong.
If all your tests passed, Test.Simple will exit with zero (which is normal). If anything failed it will exit with how many failed. If you run less (or more) tests than you planned, the missing (or extras) will be considered failures. If no tests were ever run, Test.Simple will throw a warning and exit with 255. If the test died, even after having successfully completed all its tests, it will still be considered a failure and will exit with 255.
This module is by no means trying to be a complete testing system. It's just to get you started. Once you're off the ground, we recommended that you look at Test.More.
Here's an example of a simple test file for the fictional JavaScript Film class:
<script type="text/javascript" src="Test.Builder.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Test.Simple.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Film.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var btaste = new Film('Bad Taste');
btaste.director('Peter Jackson');
ok( btaste && typeof btaste == 'object', 'Constructor works' );
ok( btaste.title() == 'Bad Taste', 'title() get' );
ok( btaste.director() == 'Peter Jackson', 'director() get' );
ok( btaste.rating() == 'R', 'rating() get' );
ok( btaste.numExplodingSheep() == 1, 'numExplodingSheep() get' );
It will produce output like this:
ok 1 - Constructor works
ok 2 - title() get
ok 3 - director() get
not ok 4 - rating() get
# Failed test (t/film.html at line 14)
ok 5 - numExplodingSheep() get
# Looks like you failed 1 tests of 5
Indicating that the
Film.rating() method is broken.
This module was conceived by Michael Schwern while talking with Tony Bowden in his kitchen one night about the problems he was having writing some really complicated feature into the new Testing module. Tony observed that the main problem is not dealing with these edge cases but that people hate to write tests at all. What was needed was a dead simple module that took all the hard work out of testing and was really, really easy to learn. Paul Johnson simultaneously had this idea (unfortunately, he wasn't in Tony's kitchen). This is it...ported to JavaScript.

More testing functions! Once you outgrow Test.Simple, look at Test.More. Test.Simple is 100% forward compatible with Test.More (i.e. you can just use Test.More instead of Test.Simple in your programs and things will still work).

In his 15th NFL season and about to turn 37, Tom Brady says he continues to enjoy life as an NFL quarterback, even on trying days like Thursday's was at times.
FOXBORO – Now in his 15th season in the NFL, Tom Brady has no desire to adapt to a 9-to-5 world.
"This is a lot better than any cubicle I could probably think of," Brady said Thursday. "So it's a pretty good office."
As days at Brady's office (the Patriots' practice fields behind Gillette Stadium) go, this wasn't one of his best.
While Thursday's highlights included a deep ball to Julian Edelman (pretty much a daily occurrence this summer), at another point, when put in a situation where his offense was backed up in its own end zone, the quarterback dropped back and attempted to connect with Kenbrell Thompkins on a short pass over the middle only to have cornerback Darrelle Revis intercept the pass and turn it into a pick-six.
But that's all part of a Patriots defense that, with the return to health of some (Jerod Mayo, Vince Wilfork, Tommy Kelly in the front seven) and the additions of others (Revis and Brandon Browner in the secondary) has been billed as new and improved.
"They're both great players," Brady said of the two veteran corners who were signed as free agents in March, "so when you make a mistake, they make you pay, and I think that's the mark of a really good corner. As a quarterback, you're always trying to find the weak link in the defense, and neither of those guys are weak links.
"Sometimes, we've got to go after them, (and) we've got to try to see if we can make a play. But, like I said, if you miss a little bit, they end making the play. It's great work for us, and you understand what you're up against."
While every practice day is give and take, on this day the defense did more taking than giving, clearly enjoying the upper hand.
In addition to Revis' pick-six, safety Devin McCourty blew up a run by Stevan Ridley in a goal-line situation, sending the defense into near mass hysteria.
"There are a lot of competitions out there, so every drill a coach pits the offense against the defense, and when we review the film at night there's one side that's getting praise and the other side is getting the opposite," said Brady. "You want to be the one who gets praised all the time, but in situations like this, it all kind of balances out.
"The defense makes a lot of good plays out there and we make our fair share. Hopefully when we play a different opponent, both of us are clicking the way we need to."
Through good times and in bad, no player's emotions are more reflective of the situation than Brady, who still refuses to act his age (37 on Sunday).
Beats punching a time clock, you know.
"I think I owe it to my teammates to bring the enthusiasm and energy every day," said Brady. "There are no days off for the quarterback. I think we try to set a great example, and I learned that from the guys that I've played with my whole career, whether it was at Michigan, or whether it was Drew Bledsoe or Damon Huard – all the guys I've taken something from. I've been lucky to do something I really love to do.
"I'd love to keep doing it, so that's a great motivation for me to come out. Where else would I rather be? This is a lot better than any cubicle I could probably think of. It's a pretty good office."

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) Washington Redskins linebackers London Fletcher and Ryan Kerrigan will head to the Pro Bowl as replacements for Super Bowl-bound San Francisco 49ers linebackers Patrick Willis and Aldon Smith.
The 37-year-old Fletcher is going to his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl. Kerrigan, a second-year player, gets his first trip to the exhibition game.
Their additions give the Redskins five Pro Bowl selections for the first time since 1996. They join rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III, who will miss the Pro Bowl after knee surgery; left tackle Trent Williams and special teamer Lorenzo Alexander.
Williams and Smith helped the 49ers beat the Atlanta Falcons 28-24 in the NFC championship game Sunday.
The Pro Bowl is next Sunday in Hawaii.

Digital Agenda: New strategy to drive European business and government productivity via cloud computing
The European Commission's new strategy for "Unleashing the potential of cloud computing in Europe" outlines actions to deliver a net gain of 2.5 million new European jobs, and an annual boost of EUR 160 billion to EU GDP (around 1%), by 2020.
The strategy is designed to speed up and increase the use of cloud computing across the economy.
'Cloud computing' refers to the storage of data (such as text files, pictures and video) and software on remote computers, which users access over the internet on the device of their choice. This is faster, cheaper, more flexible and potentially more secure than on-site IT solutions. Many popular services such as Facebook, Spotify and web-based email use cloud computing technologies but the real economic benefits come through widespread use of cloud solutions by businesses and the public sector.
Key actions of the strategy include:
Vice-President Neelie Kroes said: "Cloud computing is a game-changer for our economy. Without EU action, we will stay stuck in national fortresses and miss out on billions in economic gains. We must achieve critical mass and a single set of rules across Europe. We must tackle the perceived risks of cloud computing head-on."
Vice-President Viviane Reding said: "Europe needs to think big. The cloud strategy will enhance trust in innovative computing solutions and boost a competitive digital single market where Europeans feel safe. That means a swift adoption of the new data protection framework which the Commission proposed earlier this year and the development of safe and fair contract terms and conditions."
Today's strategy announcement follows the Commission's 2012 proposal to update the Data Protection rules and comes ahead of a European Strategy for Cyber Security to be proposed in the coming months. The development of such European cloud rules is a precondition for the seamless digital space that will bring us a true Digital Single Market. Together these actions form a comprehensive effort to deliver a dynamic and trusted internet environment in Europe.
The benefits of the Cloud come from its economies of scale. 80% of organisations adopting cloud computing achieve cost savings of at least 10-20%. Also significant productivity gains are to be expected if wide adoption across all sectors of the economy can be achieved.
Today, in the absence of common standards and clear contracts, many potential users are deterred from adopting cloud solutions. They are not sure what standards and certificates they should look for to meet their requirements and legal obligations, for example to ensure that their own or their customers' data is safe or that applications are interoperable. Cloud providers and users are also looking for clearer rules when it comes to the delivery of cloud services, for example regarding the question where legal disputes will be resolved or how to make sure that it will be easy to move data and software between different cloud providers.

Prominent Egyptian star Sharihan denied being harassed during her participation in the protests that took place on May 27, 2011 in Cairo's Tahrir Square. The star had made it a point to be part of the protests that were demanding the downfall of the now ousted government in Egypt.
Sharihan stressed that what had occurred at the time was merely fans wanting to greet her and not people attempting to harass her.
A number of internet web pages had posted a video of Sharihan during the protests being accompanied by bodyguards fighting off crowds of people from getting close to her, but all their attempts failed and Sharihan was stuck amidst chaos.
The official spokesperson for Sharihan Jamal Anwar said in an official press release that the incident was far from being a harassment incident. He stated that what happened is crowds of fans attempted to get close to Sharihan to greet her and have their pictures taken with her as she was leaving Tahrir Square.

Two things are interesting, I think: There are a lot fewer comments in the 'men only' section, sort of possibly proving her point that men don't talk about sex enough, compared to women. Also, it's disappointing to think that she implicitly believes that gay men's opinions about sex don't belong on a feminist blog:
But the gay men are going to have to write their own thread somewhere else. Tough shit. I don't care about gay men. Anyway, you guys have Dan Savage.
Because, y'know, gay men aren't feminists. And what gay men enjoy or don't enjoy sexually has nothing to do with patriarchy, feminism, or structures of power that are set up along gender roles.

- How to Read a Study Record
- Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a severe viral infection of the brain. It is caused by JC virus. Many people have this virus in their bodies all their life, but it is usually kept in check by their immune system. If the immune system does not work right because of a disease or medication, the virus becomes active and can damage cells in the brain. Not much is known about PML or how it affects the immune system. Researchers want to study people with PML to better understand the natural history of the disease.
- To study the natural history of PML.
- Individuals at least 2 years of age who have PML.
- Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and imaging studies.
- Participants will have several visits to the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. There will be an initial visit, monthly visits for the next 6 months, a 12-month visit, and possible visits afterward.
- At the initial visit, participants will give blood, urine, and spinal fluid samples. They will also have neurological tests and imaging studies of the brain.
- For the next five visits, participants will give blood and urine samples. They will also have neurological tests and imaging studies of the brain.
- The 6-month and 12-month visits will repeat the tests from the initial visit.
- Other optional procedures include bone marrow samples and skin biopsies. Additional blood tests and imaging studies may be performed.
- Treatment will not be provided as part of this study.
|Condition or disease
|Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy
The objective of this study is to examine the natural course of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). PML is a devastating, demyelinating neurological disease affecting the brain of patients with a compromised immune system. It is caused by reactivation of JC virus (JCV), a small DNA virus that infects the majority of the population without clinical significance. There are currently no treatments available for PML.
We plan to study patients with suspected or confirmed PML with different underlying conditions including patients on immune-modulatory therapies for multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatologic diseases or other autoimmune diseases, as well as patients with HIV infection or other conditions leading to a compromised immune system. Patients will be seen at defined time points during their disease course and detailed assessments will be performed to collect clinical and imaging data. Blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) will also be collected at these time points to evaluate the behavior and biology of the JCV and the patients immune responses to the infection. These tests will lead to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of PML and the course of this disease in different patient groups.
Specifically, this detailed characterization will be used to help identify:
- Clinical and/or imaging features pathognomonic of PML that may aid in earlier diagnosis and intervention
- Clinical imaging and/or laboratory features of the disease course that is predictive of clinical outcomes
This information will be integrated to develop a clinically relevant, disease-specific assessment scale of PML, which is currently not available. Such a scale would be a useful tool for the clinical management of patients (i.e., for development of standards of care), as well as for clinical trial design and interpretation.
The long-term objectives of this study are to improve the understanding of the disease course and underlying pathophysiology, to identify subgroups with different prognosis and/or susceptibility to interventions, and to help identify therapeutic targets and/or intervention strategies. Equally important, these efforts will allow development of a repository of cryopreserved biological samples that will be used for validation of candidate biomarkers in future studies; this data and biological bank will be made available to outside laboratories.

Coke Zero Green Flags Multi-Year Endorsement Deal With Danica Patrick
Special to NYSportsJournalism
May 10, 2012: Coca-Cola said today that it has signed a multi-year endorsement deal with race car driver Danica Patrick, who will represent the Coke Zero brand.
Patrick becomes a member of the Coca-Cola Racing Family that includes Dale Earnhardt Jr., Dale Jarrett, Bobby Labonte and Tony Stewart.
Financial terms of the deal were not released. Patrick earns about $10 million a year from endorsements, according to industry analysts, which include GoDaddy.com, Tissot, Aaron's, Mattel's Hot Wheels, Peak and Nationwide Insurance.
"Thank you @cokezero!!! I can't wait to start this partnership!" Patrick wrote on her Twitter account.
Patrick will have the Coke Zero logo on her racing togs and her No. 10 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet. She will also be featured in marketing including POP and will make personal appearances on behalf of the Coke Zero brand.
In addition to competing in the Coca-Cola 600 on May 27, Patrick will work with model/actress Brooklyn Decker to promote Universal Pictures' Battleship (which opens May 18), in which Decker appears and Coke Zero is a marketing partner (complete with product placement, a supporting TV commercial and consumer sweepstakes).
In conduction with the Coke Zero 400 on July 7 (in which Patrick will not race), she will participate in activities surrounding the event and appear in a series of online vignettes.
"Joining the Coca-Cola Racing Family is one of the really cool things that's happened so far in my career. I'm a Coke Zero drinker and fan, so with this partnership, I really get to have it all," Patrick said in a statement. "I'm really excited about working with Coke Zero for a lot of reasons, but the idea of having my image at retail stores next to guys like Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman and the rest of the Coca-Cola Racing Family is amazing."
According to Sharon Byers, svp-sports and entertainment marketing partnerships for the Coca-Cola Co., "The Coke Zero brand has seen consistently strong growth since it launched, and to maintain that success, we need to bring new consumers to the franchise. We believe partnering with one of the most relevant and talked about athletes in motorsports — and one who embodies the brand's 'enjoy everything' spirit – will help us do just that."

Sandra Pianalto says she will retire early next year from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, ending her 10-year tenure as president.
Pianalto is not one of the 12 voting member of the Fed this year. But she participates on the committee that sets interest rate policies, serving along with the 11 other regional bank presidents and seven Fed board members.
Her departure marks the third pending vacancy on the Fed board. Elizabeth Duke has announced she will leave at the end of this month and Sarah Bloom Raskin has been nominated by President Barack Obama to be deputy Treasury secretary.
In addition, Chairman Ben Bernanke is widely expected to step down from the Fed when his term ends in January.

The Dallas Cowboys found the balance on offense they've been looking for. This was bad news for the St. Louis Rams.
DeMarco Murray piled up 175 yards on 26 carries in an easy 31-7 win at AT&T Stadium on Sunday. The Cowboys sit alone atop the NFC East at 2-1.
Dallas set the tone from the start, as Murray picked up 43 yards on six carries on the team's opening touchdown-drive. One drive was all the Cowboys needed to best their rushing production from their Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Tony Romo, meanwhile, threw three touchdown passes and played mistake-free football. The Cowboys will be a scary offense if they can find consistency in the run game.
Here's what else we learned:
1. The Cowboys rushed for 193 yards as a team. They did it against a Rams team that entered play with the NFL's sixth-best rush defense. Not anymore.

2. The Rams paid Jake Long like an elite left tackle. He's not playing that way. Long was beaten for sacks by both DeMarcus Ware and Kyle Wilber and was eventually pulled from the game.
3. Still waiting to see dynamic production from Rams wideout Tavon Austin. The first-round draft pick had six catches for just 30 yards.
4. The Rams did a great job protecting Sam Bradford in the season's first two weeks. Sunday counted as a significant setback. Bradford was sacked six times and hit constantly. He'll be sore in the morning.
5. It might be time to drop the narrative that the NFC West is stacked with four quality teams. This is the second consecutive week the Rams have fallen behind an opponent 24-0.The "Around The League Podcast" is now available on iTunes! Click here to listen and subscribe.

DirectionsShow MapHide Map
The hostel is a brief 3 minute walk from the train station, a 4 minute walk from the airport bus stop and a 7 minute walk from the international bus station, seriously..., I timed it myself!
From the Airport:
Exit the arrivals terminal and head across the car park to the buss stop. There is a timetable for bus 22 where you will find that the bus will be arriving shortly unless it is between 1 – 5 am. Take the bus (bus fare is 2,00 EUR regardless if you have luggage or not) to the stop called Autoosta- it is the 2nd stop after you have crossed Daugava river. Walk UP the street (in direction of the traffic) for about 50 m – you will reach a tunnel. Walk through it straight till you see an exit to your right, don't take that exit. Turn left and exit to the far right corner, right past a tiny lady's' underwear shop. You should end up on Marijas street. Walk straight up till McDonalds and turn left. Right around the corner you should see the entrance right between McDonalds and McCafe! Take elevator to the 4th floor. Welcome
From the Train Station:
When exiting the train terminal, walk in direction to the city center. Once You get out of the main building, You will find Yourself in a large square with a tall clock tower behind You, and a big street in front of You.You should be able to see McDonalds across the street, that is our building!You can either take a tunnel to Your left, or a junction with many light signals to Your right to get across. Once You get to McDonalds, find a door between the restaurant and McCafe, take the elevator to the 4th floor, and....yes, you've guessed it .....Welcome to Riga Hostel!
From the Bus Station:
On leaving the bus station, start walking away from the river Daugava. In front of the Station building main entrance cross the tram rails and turn left. Walk till You reach a tunnel, skip it and turn right behind the building, keep walking away from the river. When You pass the Stockmann shopping center, You will reach another tunnel, walk through this one, keeping to Your right. There will be two exits to the right, do not take any of them, but turn left at the second one. Walk till the end of tunnel and take the far right exit. You should end up by a Narvesen kiosk on Marijas street. Now You are only a block away. Keep walking away from the river till You see McDonalds, turn left and take the first door after McDonalds. Then take the elevator to the 4th floor and... welcome home!
