Titans aim to rebound versus Colts
|Team Comparison

Say this much for Tennessee Titans coach Mike Mularkey: He's got a cheeky sense of humor.
While Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano was conducting a conference call with Nashville media Wednesday morning, Mularkey took his turn as an intrepid journalist to ask his counterpart a question.
"Hey, Chuck, can you tell me Chud's first 15 plays, preferably the first two?" Mularkey queried, referring to Indianapolis offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski.
One can't blame Mularkey for seeking a little extra edge for his team's first Monday night home game since 2014. The way things have gone for Tennessee the last two games, it needs every little advantage it can derive.
Back-to-back dreary losses -- they were obliterated 57-14 in Week 4 at Houston and 16-10 last week in Miami -- have taken some shine off what many around the organization were pointing to as a red-letter event in their resurgence as a good NFL team.
At 2-3, the Titans are only one game out of first in what is again a very winnable, very mediocre AFC South. Then again, so are the Colts, who have won 11 consecutive meetings, dating back to December 2011.
And Tennessee might be staring at another game without quarterback Marcus Mariota (hamstring) in its lineup. Mariota is hopeful that he can answer the bell, and after watching Matt Cassel's performance at Miami, Titans fans are likely more hopeful than Mariota.
Not that Cassel could totally be blamed for the loss, in which he was sacked six times. But he managed just 141 yards on 21 of 32 passing with no completion longer than 17 yards, enabling the Dolphins to eliminate the deep throw from their thoughts.
Mularkey wants Mariota to be able to move well enough in the pocket and outside of it -- mobility is a vital part of Mariota's tool kit -- before he'll play him.
"He's got to be able to move around pretty good ... and not put himself in a position that he's going to re-injure himself," Mularkey said. "He's got to show that by the end of the week."
While Tennessee might get its regular quarterback back, Indianapolis already knows that Andrew Luck (shoulder) will miss another game. It was hoped that Luck might make his season debut in Nissan Stadium, where he's 5-0, but he was ruled out Monday.
But the Colts appear to have the advantage if this is a matchup of backups. Jacoby Brissett has started the last four games after being obtained from New England, saving Indianapolis from having to play Scott Tolzien after a disastrous 46-9 Week 1 loss at the Los Angeles Rams.
Brissett threw for a career-high 314 yards last week in a 26-23 overtime victory over San Francisco, although he has been sacked 14 times behind a line which hasn't been able to consistently offer its quarterback a clean pocket since Peyton Manning was spraying touchdown passes out of it.
Still, Indianapolis knows its opportunity is abundant. Jacksonville's one-game lead through five weeks is hardly insurmountable, even though its defense is coming of age and Leonard Fournette has given the offense its first identity in years.
Houston is dealing with major injuries defensively, and the Titans have been a bit of a disappointment in the early going after entering the season with high expectations.
"This game, it counts double," Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton said. "It's very important. It's something that we understand."
Hilton has been tough on Tennessee. He owns a pair of 100-yard games against them, including a seven-catch, 133-yard performance last October in a comeback win in Nashville. And the Titans' secondary hasn't exactly been compared to Denver's, although it held Miami's impotent passing game to 78 yards last week.
Tennessee's biggest concern might be reviving the running game around which its offense is built. Its offensive line, which had to play without left tackle Taylor Lewan (knee) for most of last week's loss, didn't open up a lot of holes. The Titans rushed for only 69 yards.
Granted, the Indianapolis defense isn't quite as stout up front. And the incentive of snapping a losing streak that goes back six years and six starting quarterbacks has to count for something, especially under the Monday night lights.
After playfully fending off Mularkey's attempt at beat writing, Pagano took a stab of his own.
"Can you let me know if 8 is going or not?," Pagano said, referring to Mariota.
The answer could determine the outcome.

Rep. Darrell Issa Joins Rep. Lofgren In Saying That SOPA Is A Bad Idea
from the bipartisan dept
H.R. 3261 unfortunately does not follow a consensus-based approach. It would give the government sweeping new powers to order Internet Service Providers to implement various filtering technologies on their networks. It would also create new forms of private legal action against websites—cutting them off from payment and advertising providers by default, without any court review, upon a complaint from any copyright owner, even one whose work is not necessarily being infringed.Nice to see more folks in Congress realizing that just because one industry wants to regulate the internet heavily, it doesn't mean it's actually a good thing for the rest of the economy -- and especially for the sector of the economy that's actually creating jobs and economic growth.
Online innovation and commerce were responsible for 15 percent of U.S. GDP growth from 2004 to 2009, according to the McKinsey Global Institute. Before we impose a sprawling new regulatory regime on the Internet, we must carefully consider the risks that it could pose for this vital engine of our economy.

FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh residents on Tuesday backed by a 733-470 margin, or 61-39 percent, the $150,000 purchase of a home and 2 acres next to and south of the town's Route 7 office building and community meeting center.
Selectmen proposed the purchase, which they said will provide for the future needs of the town office building, including parking, better and safer access from the highway, and other needs now unforeseen.
The article approved by voters calls for financing the deal with a 10-year bank note that officials estimate will cost about $900 a month.

MURRYSVILLE, Pa. — The doors are reopening at the Pittsburgh-area high school where 21 students and a security guard were injured in a stabbing rampage five days ago.
Teachers will return to work Monday at Franklin Regional School District in Murrysville. Students will be able to visit the school with their families on Tuesday and classes will resume Wednesday, a week after the attack.
Four students remained hospitalized Sunday, all in critical condition.
Authorities say 16-year-old Alex Hribal attacked his fellow students at the school with a pair of kitchen knives. He faces four counts of attempted homicide and 21 counts of aggravated assault.
Police and Hribal's attorney say they don't yet have a motive for the rampage. The attorney is seeking a psychiatric evaluation for Hribal.

Winter canola production in the southern Great Plains has come a long way in just six years.
From developing new varieties and production methods to finding a reliable, lucrative market, much has been accomplished in a short time.
With the 2010/11 crop planting nearly completed, reliable estimates say more than 100,000 acres, maybe as much as 115,000 acres, have been put into the ground in Kansas, Oklahoma and North Texas.
Last spring, following a favorable winter growing period, winter canola farmers harvested from 1,500 to 2,000 pounds of canola per acre.
These yields, with $7.80 plus per bushel, sparked a lot of interest among prospective growers attending summer production meetings throughout the area.
Growers with winter canola recently planted in their fields have a lot going for them this coming crop year as well.
Information disseminated by Land Grant universities, seed companies and marketing entities continue to provide pertinent production information. This evolution of information is particularly important to growers planting their first canola crop this fall.
New money crop
Kansas State and Oklahoma State University agronomists, seeking new ways to reduce problem weeds growing in continuously cropped wheat, decided nearly six years ago to emphasize research on a money crop with different characteristics that could be grown in rotation with winter wheat.
Canola, a spring oilseed crop grown in Canada and in the northern U.S., can be farmed with the same equipment as wheat, but it is a completely different crop with distinct agronomic characteristics requiring additional production skills.
Both spring and winter types produce a seed with a high oil content. When processed, the oil is a source of healthy, low fat cooking oil and for biofuels.
Crop breeders created new varieties designed to grow in cool seasons that could be planted in fields where winter wheat had been planted. Canola interrupts the growth cycle of such undesirable weeds as cheatgrass, wild oats and rye. When winter wheat is harvested, the wheat seed is infested with seeds from these weeds. Presence of these weed seeds sharply reduces the price paid wheat farmers.
New Roundup Ready winter canola varieties help farmers control weeds and are doing a good job growing under dryland conditions where soil moisture is always an important factor in making a crop. Canola has a large taproot that allows it to find scarce moisture in Plains soils.
The last important development for a viable canola industry was creating a reliable, competitive regional market close to where the crop is grown. Producers Cooperative Oil Mill (PCOM), in Oklahoma City, provided canola growers a place to market their crop.
Working with area-wide grain terminals where farmers can take canola seed, PCOM not only buys canola seed for processing but also offers farmers production contracts. A farmer-owned, multi-state cooperative with more than 61 years of service to farmers producing cottonseed, PCOM offers opportunities for another important crop option. Prices paid for canola seed by PCOM further enhance it as an important commodity farmers can utilize as a reliable money crop.
More management
New canola growers are told by production experts that planting and growing the crop requires more attention and hands-on skills than typical winter wheat production.
Proper seedbed preparation, calibrating seeding drills for proper planting depth and row spacing, selecting different fertilizer ratios and application timing, controlling pests skills and selecting the best way to harvest canola under various weather conditions are all important skills demanded of growers willing to add winter canola to their commodity mix.
New winter canola growers have a wide range of informational sources and knowledgeable people to help them put a bumper crop in the bin.
Agricultural Extension personnel working for Kansas State University, Oklahoma State University and Texas A&M University cooperate to the benefit of farmers in each state.
As a service to winter canola growers in Kansas, Oklahoma and North Texas, the following is a list of people and places to contact for the latest information on canola production:
- Dr. Tom Peeper, OSU, Stillwater, Ok., 405-744-6420, email@example.com;

- Brandon Winters, PCOM marketing representative, 405-232-7555; email@example.com.
Production information
What could be called the bible of winter canola production in the Southern Great Plains is the Winter Canola Handbook, edited and produced each year by KSU, OSU and the University of Nebraska. The handbook is updated each year and made available at the research report of the Oklahoma-Kansas Winter Canola conference held in July at the Garfield County Fairgrounds in Enid. Copies of the handbook, an invaluable compendium of winter canola production, harvesting and marketing, can be obtained by contacting the OSU County Extension director in each county, any of the people listed in this article and by contacting Producers Cooperative Oil Mill at 405-232-7555, or producerscoop.net.
Other information can be obtained on the web at the Okanola link page at okstate.edu and/or plainsoilseedproducts.com.
Oklahoma winter canola producers are represented by the Oklahoma Oilseed Commission, which oversees a checkoff fund to support development of new winter canola production methods.
Members of the commission are Kelly Chain, Alan Mindemann, Lee Leeper, Brent Rendel and Brent Thompson.

A drunk driver who killed a bicyclist a year ago apologized in court Friday to grieving family members who described how he took their loved one from them
A drunk driver who killed a bicyclist a year ago apologized in court Friday to grieving family members who described how he took their loved one from them.
Ethan Miller, 22, of Thibodaux, died July 8 along La. 308 near the Thibodaux Feed and Seed after Brent Tauzin, 41, hit him in his Jeep Wrangler.
Tauzin did not stop, State Police said. When investigators found him at home, he agreed to a breath test, which showed that his blood-alcohol content was 0.194. That's more than double the legal limit of 0.08.
Tauzin, of Thibodaux, pleaded guilty Friday to negligent homicide and hit-and-run driving, and Judge Walter Lanier III sentenced him to five years in prison on the first charge and six years for the second. However, Lanier said Tauzin can serve the terms concurrently and get credit for the time he served after his arrest. Tauzin will likely spend less than six years in prison.
When State Police first arrested Tauzin, they charged him with vehicular homicide, which carries a penalty of five to 30 years in prison. The District Attorney's Office agreed to reduce the charge to negligent homicide, and five years is the maximum sentence for that crime.
Jessica Gray, Miller's sister, read a victim's impact statement, which allows relatives to say on record during a sentencing how someone's crimes impacted their lives.
"We have all lost our light and our friend," Gray read aloud. "There is no fixing what has been done to our families. ... There is no amount of jail time that can help us feel better."
All her family can hope for is that Tauzin's prison sentence keeps him off the road, she said.
Before his death, Miller would often call her to tell her what he had cooked or which records he had bought, she said.
In his obituary, relatives wrote that friends and family should make a donation in Miller's name to Bayou Area Habitat for Humanity in lieu of flowers.
Gray spoke of a past conversation with Miller about whether he was considering becoming a priest because their uncle was one. It seemed as if Miller had considered it but had decided he was called to have a wife and children, she said.
"I have lost a brother, but I have also lost the potential of a sister-in-law and nieces and nephews," Gray read aloud.
Gray said her mother also lost a brother to a car crash.
Tauzin, who said he had a job in civil engineering, read a shorter statement to the judge and the family. He said he was extremely sorry and accepted responsibility for what he did.
"What started out as a wonderful day with my family and friends turned out to be the most horrible day of my life. ... If it was in my power, I would take back that night," Tauzin said.
Bailiffs cuffed him after he stood before the judge and spoke.

6. 'Blade II' (2002)
The best part of genre, the part that suggests the richness in a genre: the unappreciated gem. Most of the classic westerns of Anthony Mann might fit this bill, as would Kevin Costner's "Open Range." Indeed, an filmmaker thoughtfully plying pulp material with a reverence that will undoubtedly be seen as misplaced can be a moving sight. You can tell the difference between a filmmaker slumming it and one -- in this case, baroque stylist Guillermo del Toro -- who takes no job lightly. (Though if you argue most American studio films now are genre films, A-budgeted B-movies, this is all redundant.)

The Fire head into Saturday afternoon's game against the Union (12:30pm CT on NBC Sports Network) on the back of a much-needed bye week after the tough loss in Montreal the week prior.
Philly tied 2-2 against lowly Seattle last time out and are set to be missing a few defenders due to injury and suspension. Both teams play each other twice over the next seven days. Here are some things to look for from a tactical perspective.
Philly's makeshift back line – Fire must take advantage - part 1
The Union come into this game missing starting right back Sheanon Williams and it appears former Fire player Bakary Soumare will get the start at center back for the first time all season.
WATCH: Match Preview
This major reshuffle combined with the Fire being the home team should mean Frank Klopas' side will be set up to attack Philly whenever possible. Williams is a loss on the right, not only for his defensive play but also his long throw ability which can be used as an offensive threat.
Filling in for Williams should be usual left back Raymon Gaddis. Gaddis looked particularly uncomfortable against New England in the Union's last away match in April, with the youngster getting caught out by balls in behind on a few occasions.
He was also exposed when put under pressure. The Revs wingers had luck getting the ball in the box from Gaddis' side and with this in mind, I expect to see Joel Lindpere and Gonzalo Segares getting forward and attacking Gaddis whenever possible.
Philly's makeshift back line – Fire must take advantage - part 2
Ironically, last season's match against the Union saw Bakary Soumare play his first and only game of the 2012 season for the Union. In that match, the Fire looked to get in 1v1 situations with the rusty defender and it paid off, with MacDonald beating Soumare before crossing for a Chris Rolfe tap in goal. This weekend's game plan should be no different with Soumare not playing in a match since the game last August.
The Men in Red will also look to force Soumare out of the middle to cover on the outside, something no centerback likes to do. Presumed starting wingers Patrick Nyarko and Joel Lindpere will be relishing 1v1 opportunities with the big defender.
Another area to test Soumare will be in the air. New England was able to win the ball in the aerial battle on numerous crosses into the Philly box, partially because of the hesitancy of goalkeeper Zac MacMath to come and challenge them.
A new center back pairing combined with a sometimes hesitant goalkeeper can lead to defensive errors and one such error could be decisive on Saturday afternoon.
WATCH: Athletico Coaching Corner
Stopping the Philly attack - be ready for different combinations
When one looks at the Philly attack this season, it is easy to get distracted by the exploits of 20-year-old Jack McInerney who has notched six goals already for the Union this season.
He picked up April's Player of the Month award and is playing the best soccer of his young career. Beyond McInerney, the Union have three excellent strikers who bring different playing styles to the table.
Veteran Conor Casey has played up front with McInerney in recent matches and has combined well with the man 11 years his junior. Both strikers are very fluid, dropping deep, moving out to the wing or playing in the advanced striker role and switching at a moment's notice.
It is much easier to prepare for what you presume to be the starting strikers will be. The challenge in Saturday's game will be the adjustments the coaching staff make if and when the Union decide to bring on some attacking substitutions.
Antoine Hoppenot and Sebastian Le Toux have started from the bench in recent matches but both have a tendency to make a big impact once brought on. Le Toux is very good with the ball at his feet and he can easily play in the second striker role, allowing McInerney to permanently move higher up the pitch.
Hoppenot scored four goals off the bench last season and has come off the bench in all but one game this season. If Le Toux does come on, dropping presumed center-mid starter Daniel Paladini a bit deeper to reduce the space Le Toux has to operate in is an option.
In-game adjustments are not often talked about but can often be the difference between three points and one.
Prediction: 2-1 Fire with goals from Nyarko and Lindpere

Sophomore right-hander Whitney Kiihnl threw her third no-hitter and fifth shutout of the season winning game one 6-0.
In the nightcap the Lady Bisons lost 6-4 as Evansville capitalized on a pair of home runs. It was the first loss for the Lady Bisons since Feb. 14, a 3-2 loss at South Alabama. They ended a 17-game winning streak with the loss.
The Lady Bisons are 19-2. Evansville is 5-7.
"It was one of those nights where not everything went our way," Lady Bisons coach Kristin Ryman said. "I didn't think we played our worst game by any means. I thought Evansville played exceptionally well. We will learn from it and move on. I don't think this is going to slow us down.
"We want to figure out what it is going to take for us to be that next level team. I think we are capable of it. I think we are close to being there. The next level teams take care of the games they should win. We are not that next level team consistently yet. I think we can be."
Evansville jumped out to a 1-0 lead in game two with a run in the third inning. The Lady Bisons answered with one in the third to tie the game.
From then on the game escalated into a home run battle. Evansville scored two runs in the fifth on a home run by Jen Stahlhut.
The Lady Bisons answered in the bottom of the fifth when Kellie Sirus hit a two-run homer, her sixth of the year.
In the sixth Evansville scored three runs, all on a home run by Ashley Rahming for a 6-3 lead.
The Lady Bisons got a solo home run from Abby Keese in the seventh, her seventh of the season. She leads the Atlantic Sun in home runs.
"I didn't think we did a bad job offensively," Ryman said. "We have been such a strong offensive team that people take for granted that we should have 11 hits a game.
"We gave up a couple of crucial hits at the wrong moments. We didn't get some key hits at the right moments."
Senior right-hander Alaina Jacobson took the loss in game two. In six innings she gave up six runs and six hits. She walked three and struck out three. Kiihnl threw one inning of relief. She struck out two.
"Alaina will make people look silly at times and there are times when she will make an outstanding pitch and get hit hard," Ryman said. "We know we have to play defense behind her. She is not a strikeout pitcher. It was not a bad performance. She gave up two big hits and they unfortunately made a difference.
"Alaina has a lot of talent. We will keep pushing on."
The Lady Bisons are five shutouts away from tying last year's record of 17 with the shutout in the first game.
Kiihnl walked one batter and hit another to ruin her chances for her second perfect game of the season. She struck out eight Evansville batters.
"Whitney has been big for us all year and will continue to be big for us," Ryman said. "That's the type of pitcher she is. She makes our team better."
The Lady Bisons struck for 10 hits. Third baseman Christen Campbell bounced a ball off of the top of the fence in left for her second home run. Sirus hit a ball into right center for a triple. Keese added a double.
Catcher Mollie Mitchell and Campbell each had two hits in the game.
The Lady Bisons scored two runs in the second. Mitchell led off with a single to right field and moved to second on a bunt attempt by Campbell. Bree Thurman singled through the left side to score Mitchell. Mackenzie Tucker singled to move Thurman to second. Kiihnl singled to center to score Thurman.
In the fifth the Lady Bisons added four runs. Sirus tripled to open the inning and scored on the double by Keese. Mitchell singled and moved to second on the throw. Keese went to third on the throw and then scored when Evansville tried to get Mitchell in a run down. Campbell drove in Mitchell with her home run.
Next week the Lady Bisons are in Hawaii for three games with Cal-Berkeley and three games with Hawaii starting March 17.

Minnesota's priority interregional corridors (IRCs) – totaling about 3,000 centerline miles – link together the various cities that serve as major trade centers in Minnesota outside the Twin Cities metro region. IRCs make up 25 percent of the state highway system and 2 percent of Minnesota roads overall, but they carry more than one quarter of all vehicle miles traveled in the state and most of Minnesota's freight traffic.

Intercity bus service – as distinct from rural transit service – carries passengers along a fixed route between two or more urban areas not in close proximity, with a limited number of stops along the route, a regular schedule for the bus service, and connections offered between different routes and service. Read More
In recent years, there has been increased interest in expanding the intercity passenger rail system in Minnesota. The interest stems in part from the fact that more people get on and off Amtrak trains in St. Paul than at any other Amtrak station with only one train per day arriving from each direction. Plus, passenger traffic at all of Minnesota's other Amtrak stations is also greater than the national average. Read More

Product Highlights
The white Cima 94" 16:10 Presentation Format Fixed Frame Projection Screen from Stewart Filmscreen is designed to be compatible even with the next-generation 4k capable projectors to display sharp and detailed images in Ultra HD resolution. The screen's large 94" display area lets you enjoy images and videos in 16:10 presentation format.
Made of Stewart Filmscreen Neve material, the projection screen is ideal for use in environments with good lighting control. Neve also minimizes the appearance of cross-reflection and other potential artifacts at the outer edges of the viewing cone. In addition, the screen boasts a low gain of 1.1, which ensures even light diffusion for uniform reflection over the entire viewing area. This eliminates the concentration of reflective output towards the center, so the projected images are uniformly sharp and detailed even at the edges of the screen. Moreover, the view is equally bright from the corner seats as well, thanks to the screen's half gain viewing angle of over 80°.
Apart from being mildew resistant and washable, the screen is also flame retardant. With a consistently uniform material, the screen has a smooth surface and also scores high on durability. This environment-friendly projection screen is GREENGUARD certified and is made of materials that have low chemical emissions.

"Nothing in my view is more reprehensible than those habits of mind in the intellectual that induce avoidance, that characteristic turning away from a difficult and principled position which you know to be the right one, but which you decide not to take. You do not want to appear too political; you are afraid of seeming controversial; you need the approval of a boss or an authority figure; you want to keep a reputation for being balanced, objective, moderate; your hope is to be asked back, to consult, to be on a board or prestigious committee, and so, to remain within the responsible mainstream; someday you hope to get an honorary degree, a big prize, perhaps even an ambassadorship. For an intellectual these habits of mind are corrupting par excellence. If anything can denature, neutralise and finally kill a passionate intellectual life, it is these considerations, internalised and so to speak in the driver's seat." – Edward Said
"Never accept and be content with unanalyzed assumptions, assumptions about the work, about the people, about the church or Christianity. Never be afraid to ask questions about the work we have inherited or the work we are doing. There is no question that should not be asked or that is outlawed. The day we are completely satisfied with what we have been doing; the day we have found the perfect unchangeable system of work, the perfect answer, never in need of being corrected again, on that day we will know that we were wrong, that we have made the greatest mistake of all." - Vincent J. Donovan

Uehara rises to occasion in unique fashion
ST. LOUIS -- The value of a closer in any baseball game can no longer be debated. In today's brand of "smaller ball" baseball, where the home run is more precious than ever and fundamentals like solid defense, throwing strikes and taking advantage of every scoring opportunity, shutting down the opposition at the end of the game is essential.

ST. LOUIS -- The value of a closer in any baseball game can no longer be debated. In today's brand of "smaller ball" baseball, where the home run is more precious than ever and fundamentals like solid defense, throwing strikes and taking advantage of every scoring opportunity, shutting down the opposition at the end of the game is essential.
View Full Game Coverage
In this World Series, both teams are built with closers capable of slamming the door shut on the opposition in the ninth inning. Depending upon the situation, the Red Sox's Koji Uehara and the Cardinals' Trevor Rosenthal may even appear sooner than the ninth.
The two closers couldn't be more different in their backgrounds, styles and approaches to hitters.
Uehara is unique. At age 38, he pitches as if he were much, much younger. Uehara has an elastic arm. If needed, he could probably pitch much more than an inning or two. Uehara just doesn't tire. He looks fresh from the moment he walks on the mound until his work is done.
Uehara is unique in another way. He doesn't require much time or many pitches to get warm in the bullpen. If the situation of a game changes and he's needed to pitch, Uehara will be ready. He seems to thrive on the moment.
Uehara was a star in Japan when he came to the United States and pitched for the Baltimore Orioles at age 34. He was part of a very important trade. Uehara was sent to Texas for a struggling but promising first baseman named Chris Davis. Pitcher Tommy Hunter was also traded to Baltimore in the deal.
While Uehara pitched well for the Rangers, he was allowed to test free agency. In December 2012, he signed with the Red Sox.
The team had other options at closer, having the experienced Andrew Bailey and Joel Hanrahan on the roster at one time or another. Even Junichi Tazawa and Alfredo Aceves were in the mix at one point to be called upon in the ninth inning.
In June, after serving as the Red Sox's setup man, Uehara inherited the closer's role after injuries and ineffectiveness left him as the best option for the role.
Most "power" pitchers can throw their fastball in the mid to high 90s. Uehara's four-seam fastball sits at 89 mph. It is his two-pitch combination of the fastball and an incredible 82 mph split-finger pitch that make him special.
Some of Uehara's statistics this past season are hard to believe. He has issued nine walks while striking out 101. Right-handed hitters hit .145 against Uehara, lefties hit just .116. He had a 0.56 WHIP and a 1.09 regular-season ERA. Uehara allowed 10 runs in 74 1/3 innings pitched. He yielded only 33 hits.
Uehara doesn't stare down hitters. In fact, he enters the game with a smile on his face. Uehara looks like a man without a care. But he carves up hitters like a seasoned surgeon.
Mariano Rivera had his classical cutter as his "go to" out pitch. He used it almost 90 percent of the time. For Uehara, it's the split-finger fastball that provides domination on the mound. He's using it more and more lately -- probably half the time.
Once Uehara has established the fastball in every quadrant, he is masterful at starting the split-finger at the hitter's waist and having it drop like a weighted body in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Now you see it, now you don't.
The numbers only tell part of the story. First and foremost, Uehara throws strikes. He just doesn't fall behind in many counts. Uehara can make only two pitches work because of his command and control of both.
Nothing seems to rattle Uehara. Maybe it's his maturity. Maybe it's his self confidence. Whatever it is, Uehara doesn't fight himself on the mound or lose composure.
Rivera remains the greatest closer in the game's history. At his age, Uehara is certainly not Rivera. But he's very special. And yes, very unique.
All Uehara does is close out games. With a smile on his face.

Some readers probably heard on the news how the Democrats were hopping mad when the House Republicans voted recently to overturn the "sequester" on the Pentagon budget, enacted at the end of the year as part of the deficit reduction deal. With that money restored, House Republicans cheerfully went about their business of making up the difference by slashing food stamps, Medicaid for children, federally supported Meals-on-Wheels for the elderly and other programs that help the most vulnerable. Democrats were united in opposing this move and promptly incorporated it into the campaign narrative of hard-hearted, mean-spirited Republicans, whom they are determined to challenge and expose come November.
But one odd thing occurred last week. In the House Armed Services Committee, when the Republicans put forward a sequester- busting $642.5 billion for the 2013 Defense Authorization bill, Democrats on the Committee overwhelmingly supported it in a lop-sided vote of 56-5.
In every respect this is an appalling bill. Apart from the colossal waste of money, it includes $88 billion for a war in Afghanistan that the majority of Americans oppose; nuclear upgrades that threaten non-proliferation agreements; programs and weapons that even the Pentagon doesn't want. The bill also promotes reckless threats on Iran, enables reckless actions by Israel and once again prohibits the transfer of prisoners from Guantanamo Bay to the United States.
On Thursday Representative Barbara Lee, who has been valiantly opposing the war in Afghanistan before it even began, introduced amendment #158 that would limit funding for the war to the safe and responsible removal of all US troops and security contractors from the country. Showing greater strength than previously, 113 members of the House voted in favor. It's a sign of progress, albeit snail-like, that this many Representatives were willing to stand up and take a clear position. On the other hand, it's a remarkable commentary on our democracy that 303 Representatives voted to continue a war, which the American public now rejects.
Throughout this week Congressional progressives and libertarians have been battling for valuable amendments that would curtail drone attacks, prevent a military confrontation with Iran and strike out "indefinite detentions." However, at the end of the day, HR 4310 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) remains an outrageous bill, which no self-respecting member of Congress should be supporting. Partisan rhetoric must not be allowed to obscure the reality that if this over-sized military budget passes the Congress, it will be paid for by the middle and working class and especially the poor.
It makes no sense to excoriate Republicans for lifting the sequester on military spending and then yielding to their request for $642.5 billion for the Pentagon.
This inconsistency persists when constituents are not paying attention to what their elected officials are up to. On Friday May 18, it will be easy to follow the story: members of Congress will be voting on the FY 2013 Defense Authorization. Every person in reach of a cell-phone can do something useful today: call your Representative's office and make it clear that voters are paying attention and that if he or she continues to feed the war-machine at the expense of truly urgent human needs, they should not expect constituent support come November.

German Court Says Google May Have To Police Videos On YouTube For Infringement
from the that's-not-good dept
"There are some good reasons to think that YouTube indeed has some duty to take care of detecting illegal uploads," Presiding Judge Heiner Steeneck said today. "GEMA has the opportunity to ask for such a ruling in regular proceedings."The two organizations have been fighting about this for some time now, but I don't quite understand the judge's "good reasons" here. How is a third party supposed to be able to detect infringing content when many musicians and labels already put their content on YouTube on purpose? How is YouTube supposed to make the determination of "this is infringing" without additional info? Already, YouTube does have a Content ID system which will block certain uploads (or let the copyright holder monetize them) so I'm not clear how much more the judge or GEMA expects.
Separately, since I'm already mentioning my participation at A-2-N, I should also mention that I'm running an interactive "brainstorming session" on Tuesday the 7th on better ways to connect with fans and give them a reason to buy. For those attending the event, I hope to see you at either of those sessions.

P0122 OBD-II: Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit Low
Get diagnosis and repair information for trouble code P0122
What Does P0122 Code Mean?
OBD-II Code P0122 is defined as a Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit Low Input
What Does Mean?
The Throttle Position Sensor/Switch is located on the Throttle Body of the Intake Manifold and the Pedal Position Sensor/Switch is part of the Accelerator Pedal assembly. These sensors provide precise input from the driver's foot in terms of how MUCH power is needed from the engine and, how URGENTLY power is needed. As the Throttle Position Sensor is rotated from its base resting position to full acceleration, typically, it sends an increasing voltage signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This increasing or decreasing voltage signal is used by the PCM to manage the Air Fuel Ratio and Spark Timing of the engine as well as other Emissions System Components.
Code P0122 triggers when the Throttle/Pedal Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit has low output
P0122 Symptoms
- Check Engine Light will illuminate
- In many cases, no abnormal symptoms may be noticed
- In some cases, the engine may be hard starting
- In some cases, the engine may hesitate during acceleration
Common Problems That Trigger the P0122 Code
- Defective Throttle Position Sensor or Switch
- Torn or jammed floor mats
- Faulty or corroded Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch wiring or connections
Common Misdiagnoses
- Throttle or Pedal Position Sensor is replaced when the real problem is a poor connection or chafed wiring
- Pedal Position Sensor is replaced when the real problem is torn or damaged floor mats
Polluting Gases Expelled
- HCs (Hydrocarbons): Unburned droplets of raw fuel that smell, affect breathing, and contribute to smog
- CO (Carbon Monoxide): Partially burned fuel that is an odorless and deadly poisonous gas
- NOX (Oxides of Nitrogen): One of the two ingredients that, when exposed to sunlight, cause smog
P0122 Diagnostic Theory for Shops and Technicians
When diagnosing a P0122 code, it is important to record the freeze frame information and then to duplicate the code setting conditions with a test drive while paying close attention to engine load, Mass Air Flow grams per second, RPM, and road speed on a data streaming scan tool. As you drive the vehicle, compare these values to the Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor PID or parameter ID. The Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor voltage values should rise and fall with changes in engine RPM and engine load.
Check the Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor connector with the key on-engine off. There needs to be a steady 5 volt reference voltage and an excellent ground. Find and use the proper engine performance wiring diagram to discern the proper color and position of these wires in the connector.
It is vital to do a key on-engine off test of the Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor by testing the Throttle Position/Pedal Position output from its signal wire. Typically, I operate the Throttle or Pedal manually and watch the rise and fall of its voltage or HTz on a lab scope to see if there are any sensor 'flat spots' or glitches. I test it again and watch the output on a data streaming scan tool to validate the sensor and Electronic Throttle Module(if equipped) connectivity with the PCM.

After a YEAR of wild anticipation, Breaking Dawn: Part 2 is finally in theaters, and Twi-hards can get their ultimate fix of Edward and Bella romance galore. But before you head out to see the exciting conclusion to the Twilight Saga, you might want to take a walk down memory lane. Remember how the sexy vampire couple first met, fell in love, and finally said their "I do"s. Awwww!
Although we've got plenty to look forward to seeing in BD2, there's not going to be anything quite like the extravagant wedding scene in Breaking Dawn: Part 1. That was out of this world. And to mark the special occasion that is the release of Twilight's final chapter, we got the inside scoop on how Edward and Bella's Big Day was built -- as well as behind-the-scenes details on BD2 (since they were shot back-to-back) -- from the film's wedding designer herself, world-class event designer Tammy Carmona ...
How did you score the job to design the wedding?
I had won a couple of [event design] competitions. The producers loved my work, and when they asked me, I said, "Are you kidding me?!" [I had] read the books, and I have a 19-year-old. So when I told my older daughter that I'd love to be the [film's] florist, she looked at me was like, "Mom, I know you're a Twi-hard, but cut it out!" It was an awesome experience. I've done Hollywood work before -- for Paris hilton, the WWE, I've done the Oscars, but this was extra special.
Where did you get your inspiration for the wedding design? Just from Stephenie Meyer's descriptions in the book or elsewhere, too?
We were trying to keep true to the book, but we did change a lot of things. [In the book,] the whole wedding was in the house. No matter what you do in the house, it's limited. And you have such a grand outside why would you want to limit it? There's much more you can do outdoors! In the book, there are ribbons on the trees on the way to the house. I thought that was too girly! And we didn't want to be too girly -- he's a vampire for Heaven's sake!! Girly bows just did not fit and a lot of things just like that. We [had to figure out] what would be better for the movie.
What was your greatest challenge while working on the wedding?
This was supposed to be a movie wedding we would remember forever, and [it wasn't supposed to look like] we weren't working on a $5 million budget. It's supposed to look like they were doing it themselves ... natural, which was a very hard thing to do. So, we tried 20 different centerpieces, and then we were like .. let's make it look like it's growing from the table. So we tried that, [putting] a little garden on every table. That's what gives the wedding this grand look and the hanging wisteria. ... We had a lot of trees, but we weren't allowed to touch the trees. We had to constantly replace flowers. But it was an amazing experience.
As a self-confessed Twi-hard, how did you feel about the twist ending of Breaking Dawn: Part 2?
I was happy with the ending because it was different/shocking. They were shooting that when they were doing the wedding. You know, [Edward]'s supposed to be 17, and [Rob]'s not getting any younger!
What did you love most about the wedding scene?

New Mexico Lobos Softball - Mountain West Series -- at Lobo Field
Who: Lobos vs. Colorado State
Thursday, May 9: Colorado State def. Lobos, 3-2
Friday, May 10:Colorado State def. Lobos, 11-5
Saturday, May 11: Colorado State def. Lobos, 10-5
Game 54 - Colorado St. 3, New Mexico 2 | Game 55 - Colorado St. 11, New Mexico 5 | Game 56 - Colorado St. 10, New Mexico 5 | Final 2013 Season Stats
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- The University of New Mexico Lobos softball squad battled with Mountain West foe Colorado State on Saturday afternoon in its final game of 2013, but came up short as the Rams used two big innings to take a 10-5 win from UNM and secure the series sweep.
It was New Mexico's final game of the season as UNM finished 21-35 on the year and 3-15 in league play. The Rams moved to 25-24 overall and 11-7 in MW contests.
The Lobos made sure to pay tribute to seven student-athletes who have given quite a bit to the program over the last few seasons and have completed their collegiate careers throughout the afternoon on Saturday.
Kaela DeBroeck, Sheryl Guillermo, Kari Gutierrez, Kaity Ingram, Cassandra Kalapsa, Amber Tracy and Jordyn Bledsoe all saw action in the contest. DeBroeck, Guillermo, Gutierrez, Ingram and Kalapsa have been regular starters this season. Tracy and Bledsoe have both been sidelined with injuries, but head coach Erica Beach made sure both got an at-bat and made a brief appearance in the field on Saturday -- Bledsoe in the bottom of the third/top of the fourth and Tracy in the bottom of the fourth/top of the fifth
"We played every senior today and I think as a team we competed and played with pride," Beach said. "This is a really special group of seniors. They are a very close unit and have been through so much as a group. They're versatile players and they've contributed so much to this program in their years here.
"They're irreplaceable and we're going to miss them quite a bit."
DeBroeck made her 130th appearance in the circle and her 86th career start. She threw 3 2/3 innings and allowed 10 hits and 10 runs.
Sophomore Carrie Sheehan came on in relief and threw the final 3 1/3 innings. She gave up two hits while walking three batters and striking out one.
Kalapsa led New Mexico at the plate with a 2-for-3 performance -- including her seventh homer of the season, a two-run long ball to left center. She scored two runs and finished with three RBIs on the afternoon. Her first RBI came in the first inning as she singled to left and drove in Guillermo, who had reached on a walk.
One of Kalapsa's runs came off a two-out, first-and-third situation with fellow senior Gutierrez on first. Gutierrez started to steal second and caught the Rams' attention, sparking a hot box situation. Meanwhile, Kalapsa scampered home, distracting CSU from Gutierrez, who was then able to safely reach second base.
"You practice those situations and you don't get to run them that often, but it's really fun when you can make it happen in a game," Beach said. "It was great execution on Kari and Cassie's part. It was a big morale booster and it was a fantastic call by coach Christi Musser. They ran it perfectly."
The Lobos were the first on the scoreboard thanks to Kalapsa's RBI-single to left in the bottom of the first. UNM added another run in the second as the Lobos opened their at-bat with back-to-back singles by sophomore Mia Hignojos and redshirt freshman Karissa Haleman. Guillermo drew a walk to load the bases and a single through the left side by Mariah Rimmer allowed Hignojos to reach home and move UNM's lead to 2-0 after two frames.
CSU had a big third inning, however, using an RBI single to left and a three-run homer to right center to take the lead 4-2.
The Kalapsa-Gutierrez double steal with two outs away in the bottom of the third helped New Mexico cut the lead to one run, 4-3, but the Rams erupted with five hits -- including two homers -- to put up six runs and move to a 10-3 advantage in the top of the fourth.
The Lobos added their last two runs of the season in frame four thanks to Kalapsa's two-run dinger.
UNM held the Rams, but the Rams also thwarted an attempt at a Lobo rally and took the game and series, 10-5.

Kari had perhaps the best month of her career this past April as she moved into the starting DP role for the Lobos. She hit .231 on the month, going 6-for-26 with six runs scored and a team-best 9 RBIs. She had the first two home runs and the first triple of her career.
She also spent 3 2/3 innings in the circle in April and led the Lobo pitching staff with an ERA of 3.82.
Kari is appreciated by her teammates and coaches for her hard work, versatility, energy and enthusiasm and team spirit.
She is majoring in family studies.
Senior Kaity Ingram - Tucson, Ariz.
The Lobo infielder came to UNM after playing two seasons at Pima Community College where she earned All-America honors her sophomore season and was a two-time Academic All-American.
Kaity played two seasons at UNM -- 2011 and 2013, taking a redshirt in 2012 due to a shoulder injury.
She started every single game in her two seasons at UNM, a total of 101 contests. Kaity made a majority of her starts at third base, but also started at second base, short stop, left field and center field.
The versatile slapper had a career batting average of .293, recording 95 hits in 324 at-bats. She also scored 39 runs and drove in 23, and recorded 12 stolen bases.
Three times in her career Kaity recorded hitting streaks of eight games -- once in her junior season and twice this season. Her most recent streak began in UNM's third game at UNLV on April 14 and ended at Fresno State on May 4. Over those eight contests she had 13 hits -- including three doubles and one triple -- and drove in one run.
Heading into the final series of the season, Kaity ranked tied for fourth in the Mountain West triples, with 3; was tied for fifth for total plate appearances with 185 and was tied for 7th for at-bats with 162. Defensively among league players she ranked third for assists with 105 and was tied for eighth for fielding double plays with 10.
Kaity is the team leader on and off the field. Her focus, drive and incredible work ethic have earned her the respect of her coaches and teammates who say she never takes a day or drill rep off.
A special education major, Kaity earned the Mountain West Scholar-Athlete award for 2010-11, was an Academic All-Mountain West honoree and a National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-America Scholar Athlete in 2011.
Senior Cassandra Kalapsa - Atwater, Calif.
The Lobo outfielder played in 150 games and made 118 starts throughout her four years at UNM. She had 78 hits, scored 55 runs, drove in 47 and recorded 13 stolen bases. She had a total of 24 extra-base hits, including nine doubles, four triples and 11 home runs. Defensively she recorded 118 putouts and six assists while committing just five errors in four seasons.
This was one of Cassie's best seasons of her career as she led the team in home runs with seven and also drew a team-high 24 walks.
One of her most memorable home runs this season was a walk-off against Boise State in the opening game of the series. Cassie's huge homer over the right-field fence sparked the Lobos to a 2-1 Mountain West series win over the Broncos -- the first league series win for UNM since 2011.
She was selected as the conference Player of the Week for her performance in the series as she homered twice on the week and hit .600, going 3-for-5 at the plate. Cassie also scored three runs and drove in another three.
Along with her foot speed and strong throwing arm, Cassie is respected by the team for her work ethic and mental toughness. Her ability to lighten the mood and be goofy while still taking care of business are also appreciated.
A biochemistry major, Cassie is a two-time Academic All-Mountain West honoree and a three-time Mountain West Scholar-Athlete award recipient. She was named an All-America Scholar Athlete by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association in 2011 and was also named to the CapitalOne Academic All-District second team that season.
Senior Amber Tracy - Albuquerque, N.M.
The homegrown Lobo catcher has appeared in 44 games throughout her four-year career, including making 12 starts. Amber recorded two hits, nine runs and one stolen base. Defensively, she tallied 36 putouts, six assists and caught one runner stealing while remaining error free.
One of the best games of her career came against Florida International in early March of her sophomore season. Amber got the start at catcher and went 1-for-2 at the plate, hitting a double. She also drew a walk and scored one run in the Lobos' 9-4 win.
An extremely hard worker who has served as an outfielder, designated player, pinch runner, and catcher, Amber has especially been a staple in the Lobo bullpen where she's been a tremendous support for UNM pitchers. Her consistently positive attitude and her enthusiasm for all aspects of being a student-athlete along with her willingness to give to the Lobo softball program in any way she can have earned her the respect of her coaches and teammates.
Amber is majoring in exercise science.
Redshirt Junior Jordyn Bledsoe - Oak Hills, Calif.
The Lobo infielder played in 103 games throughout her three-and-a-half year career and started 97 of those games. She recorded 50 hits in 242 at-bats, including 14 extra-base hits -- nine doubles, one triple and four home runs. She also fielded five double plays and recorded 131 putouts and 186 assists on defense.
Jordyn had eight multi-hit games throughout her career, the last coming against Boise State on April 6 of this year.
Six times throughout her career Jordyn notched multiple RBIs in a game, the last coming against Hampton on Feb. 15 when she drove in two runs.
Jordyn had one of the best games of her career last season in early February against Idaho State when she went 3-for-4 at the plate and scored two runs in the Lobos' 9-8 win over the Bengals.
Jordyn is "one tough cookie" having battled through three significant knee injuries prior to this season. Her positive attitude, smiling ways and coachability through all the adversity are what the coaching staff and her teammates respect the most about her. Unfortunately, she sustained a fourth knee injury in April and it has ended her career.
A biology major -- Jordyn is a two-time Academic All-Mountain West honoree.

Court Finds Law Blocking Teachers From Friending Students 'Staggering'; Blocks Implementation
from the oh-look,-there's-a-first-amendment-after-all dept
Section §163.069.4 RSMo implicates the rights of Plaintiffs protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and the Missouri Constitution in that it prohibits all teachers from using any non-work-related social networking sites which allow exclusive access with current and former students. Even if a complete ban on certain forms of communication between certain individuals could be construed as content neutral and only a reasonable restriction on "time, place and manner," the breadth of the prohibition is staggering. The Court finds at based upon the evidence adduced at the preliminary injunction hearing, social networking is extensively used by educators. It is often the primary, if not sole manner, of communications between the Plaintiffs and their students. Examination of the statute indicates that it would prohibit all teachers from using any non-work-related social networking sites which allow exclusive access with current and former students. It clearly prohibits communication between family members and their teacher parents using these types of sites. The Court finds that the statute would have a chilling effect on speech.Nice to see some courts willing to recognize that a First Amendment violation is irreparable harm. Too bad not all courts agree.
Given the fundamental nature of the right implicated, a "chilling effect" constitutes an immediate and irreperable harm sufficient to support a preliminary injunction.
This isn't the end for the law. It's just an injunction barring it from being implemented until a full trial can be heard on the merits, but it sure sounds as if the court is pretty skeptical about the legality of the law as a whole.

After listening to the ending over 20 times now.. I still can't get over it.. Still curious if they are going to change opening/endings after they start to pass episodes 13/14, or maybe do something like Gosick and only change on part?

It doesn't look like they will change the OP/ED. I personally love the OP and they shouldn't change it since the song is related to the story. The ED is alright and I wouldn't mind if they changed it.
I wish somewhere along the road, they play the original Steins;Gate OP from the VN, mabe as an insert song. I love the VN's OP which I think is even better than the anime OP.

About insert songs,I think there's one insert song in the VN called "Technovision" that fits one particular scene in VN which will be shown in episode 13 of the anime.I do hope that the anime producers would incorporate the song into this particular scene in anime version.

I like both the VN and Anime OP. Catchy tunes even though it's all Anime lyrics about time travel, lol. But nearly all Itou's Anime/game songs seem to be good so far. I tried listening to the c/w song on the Hacking to the Gate single that isn't focused in that area but... not so good.
On the other hand, the VN OST is great too. Really like the Steins;Gate theme tune. Wonder how the Anime OST will turn out.
