The following are final updates on area athletes and coaches in the National Football League for the 2011-12 season.
Aside from the dominant local storyline of Flintridge Prep product Ramses Barden making it to today's Super Bowl XLVI, there were several other interesting threads to follow involving coaches and players with local roots.
In the coaching ranks, Philadelphia's Andy Reid was retained after many thought the star-studded Eagles' early struggles would cost the veteran coach his job. Conversely, Hue Jackson led the downtrodden Oakland Raiders to the cusp of an AFC West Division title in his first year on the job, only to be shown the door in a surprising move by an Oakland franchise in transition.
The only other local player active this season was Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman Eben Britton, whose forgettable campaign was marred, and ultimately ended prematurely by injuries.
The following are synopses of the aforementioned figures' triumphs and travails in an NFL season that rebounded from its offseason work stoppage in a big way and now has just a few hours left.
From the time they first began to stockpile talent through free agency and trades in the lockout-shortened offseason, the Eagles were a trendy pick to go far this season, if not at least build on last year's one-game playoff run, but these birds never got off the ground.
Philadelphia struggled mightily to assimilate its new players into its defensive scheme and fared poorly at times on offense, as well, particularly when star quarterback Michael Vick went down with an injury midseason and missed several games.
Reid, who played at Glendale Community College, took the heat for much of the underachieving team's woes, which began with a 4-8 start and ended with Philadelphia missing the playoffs even after showing significant improvement down the stretch to finish 8-8. But regardless of the fan and media pressure — a group of fans took to camping out across the street from the Eagles' practice facility with a banner calling for Reid's firing early in the team's four-game losing streak that began in the second week of the season — owner Jeffrey Lurie chose to stay the course.
On Jan. 3, Lurie announced that Reid would be back for a 14th season in 2012 and have free rein to assemble his coaching staff, although he stopped short of saying whether or nor the final year of Reid's contract in 2014 would be honored.
Reid remains one of the most successful coaches currently tenured at 126-81-1 overall and has had just one losing season since being hired in 1999, while leading the team to nine playoff appearances, including a run to the Super Bowl in 2004.
Hue Jackson seemed genuinely blindsided by the announcement by Raiders owner Mark Davis and newly-hired general manager Reggie McKenzie on Jan. 10 that his services would no longer be needed.
When the season began, Jackson, a former Glendale college quarterback, seemed well-entrenched with the franchise, enjoying the solid backing of legendary owner and de facto GM Al Davis and getting the team off to a solid 7-4 start. But Jackson's job security began to slowly erode with the sudden midseason death of Al Davis, who was succeeded by his son, Mark, followed by the controversial trade of high draft picks for quarterback Carson Palmer. The Raiders limped to the finish at 8-8 with a 1-4 showing over their last five, including a loss to the San Diego Chargers in the regular-season finale that would have sent the team to the playoffs.
Jackson and the Raiders' numerous successes were tempered by glaring shortcomings, such as the dubious distinction of setting league records for penalties (163) and penalty yards (1,358). But in the end, it seemed Jackson was mostly a casualty of Mark Davis' desire to build his own infrastructure from the ground up, a blueprint that Jackson, who had expressed a desire for more of a voice in the direction of the organization, didn't fit into.
According to ESPN.com, Jackson has since interviewed for the offensive coordinator job with the St. Louis Ramsand for the quarterbacks coach position with the Arizona Cardinals, but wasn't hired.
The year ended like it started for Britton — with the former Burroughs High standout on the injured reserve list.
Jaguars running backMaurice Jones-Drewrushed for a league-high 1,606 yards this season but did so without Britton on the offensive line for most of the season.
Britton missed the entire preseason and season opener with a herniated disk in his lower back, which he suffered two weeks before the start of the preseason. The 2005 Burroughs graduate made his return in the second game of the season against the New York Jets (Sept. 18, 2011) and made his first start of the season and first career start at left guard against the Carolina Panthers the next week, helping Jones-Drew run for 122 yards in the game.
The 24-year old shifted back over to right tackle on Oct. 9, 2011 in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals after Jacksonville's starting right tackle, Eugene Monroe, left the game with an injury. Britton wouldn't see the field the rest of the year after the game and was placed on Jacksonville's injured reserve list on Nov. 14, a day after Jacksonville's 17-3 win over the Indianapolis Colts, with a back injury.
Jones-Drew ran for 379 yards and one of his eight touchdowns in the four games Britton played in this year with Jacksonville going 0-4 in those games.
The Jaguars didn't have much success outside of Jones-Drew this season, finishing with a 5-11 record and third in the AFC South.

The 2009 vintage in California had a mix of weather conditions that kept growers busy all year long, but in the end resulted in an average-sized crop of very good wines. Ripe, rich, and full, rounder and more supple in their tannins than the 2008 and a notch under 2007 — but the best are excellent.
A slow start to the year was mitigated by good conditions through the summer; a couple of hot spells in August and September allowed the grapes to catch up.
The harvest started just ahead of normal, and things looked great until the 13th of October, when almost 4 inches of rain fell in a day. Fortunately, the rain was predicted well in advance, and many growers accelerated picking and were able to bring in much of the crop before the rain, especially Pinot Noir and other earlier-ripening grapes. The weather after the rain would be critical, as the risk of rot and dilution of flavors became a major concern for grapes not brought in before the rain. In most regions the weather improved and dried up the vineyards, extending hang-time into late October, and the majority of growers reported post-rain fruit coming in healthy and in good shape.

In this action movie from apocalyptic blockbuster specialist Roland Emmerich ("Independence Day," "The Day After Tomorrow," "2012"), the White House is successfully invaded by terrorists, the president is captured and no one can save the day other than a Secret Service wannabe (Channing Tatum). If you think you're suffering from deja vu, you can relax: this same plot outline almost exactly fits "Olympus Has Fallen," the Antoine Fuqua film that came out three months ago.
Significant differences: last time, the hero was a disgraced ex-Secret Service agent (Gerard Butler). He had to help rescue the president's child, whereas Tatum has to rescue his own daughter. The white President (Aaron Eckhart) has become a black President (Jamie Foxx), while the black Secret Service bureaucrat (Angela Bassett) is now a white Secret Service bureaucrat (Maggie Gyllenhaal).
The reported budget of "White House Down" was more than twice that of its predecessor, and it shows — though part of the difference may be that Foxx presumably has a higher price than Butler and Eckhart together.
For all the similarities, the new film seems much more specific and likelier to raise hackles: Even before we find out that the president has a beautiful wife and two teenage daughters, the casting of Foxx pretty much suggests one particular president. The unlikable Speaker of the House (Richard Jenkins) resembles John Boehner in attitude; and the vice president (Michael Murphy) is a less forceful presence than Joe Biden, but not that much less.
Subtlety is not often in evidence within this subgenre — Lone Good Guy Redeems Himself, Officially and Personally, Through Vigilante Heroism — or, more simply, "Die Hard" but without Bruce Willis. And while Emmerich has a lighter touch than, say, Michael Bay, he has never ended a film without an overlong festival of special effects mayhem. And he's not about to break the pattern now.
To a small degree, "White House Down" is redeemed by the casting: You can't really go wrong with James Woods as a scowling villain or with Jenkins and Gyllenhaal as just about anything. And in contrast to the humorless Butler and Eckhart, the leads generate the kind of buddy-cop bonding that they've both exhibited before (Foxx in "Django Unchained" and "Miami Vice" and Tatum in the underrated "21 Jump Street").
In general, the screenplay in the new film demonstrates a higher level of craftsmanship. Yes, there are a few questionable plot glosses and unpaid-off setups, but the story details — once you sign on to the ridiculous central idea — are substantially better worked out.
Nonetheless, both releases exploit post-9/11 paranoia without ridiculing its frequent excesses. That's a move that always pays off with domestic audiences. And both deploy the most obvious visual metaphor — yes, a bullet-riddled American flag waving in the wind; and anyone searching for the slightest sign of irony will find it as easily as finding the mobile chemical research Winnebagos in Iraq.

Hello there. What really happened? Is it okey to ask how the 2 of you broke up?
Hey everyone, I'm wondering if anyone is around here to listen and advise of our heart break stories these days. I posted about one over a year ago, we got back together and had a great year. We'll we're back to break up mode, so I'd really like some advice. Is anyone around these days?
it was a pretty crushing break up. We have been together for 2 years and have had tons of wonderful adventures. We just came back from a 7 day cruise on sunday. We had a great time, held hands, kissing, had alot of sex. Then on the car ride back home she breaks up with me and tells me a bunch of issues out of no where. the whole thing seems bizzare to happen after such a nice vacation with no fighting and tons of love and affection. Its left me dumbfounded and hurt.,
That hurts pretty much dude. Well its hard to judge her through the story you narrated. But maybe she has reasons that she cant tell you? Reasons that may hurt you more than she breaking up with you. Or it can be worst that in her mind she woke up that she doesn't love you any more. There are alot of possibilities and i know you have alot of questions for her. But maybe time will come, the right time, that you'll know the answers to your questions. About the reasons why she broke up with you.

text: Despite enormous obstacles, many Jews throughout German-occupied Europe attempted armed resistance against the Germans. Individual Jews or groups of Jews engaged in planned or spontaneous opposition to the Germans and their allies. Jewish partisans were especially active in the east, where they fought the Germans from bases established behind the front lines in forests and ghettos. Because antisemitism was widespread there, they found little support among the surrounding population. Even so, as many as 20,000 Jews fought the Germans in the forests of eastern Europe.

Dry runs preparing for underground astronauts
ESA trainers and caving specialists recently went underground in Sardinia, Italy to set the scene for space-like astronaut training later this summer.
CAVES – short for Cooperative Adventure for Valuing and Exercising human behaviour and performance Skills – offers astronauts, trainers and planners a chance to test space-like procedures while exploring uncharted caverns in new environments.
This year, the CAVES team are stepping up the space realism and exploration while testing more technology and procedures.
No opportunity is missed to make the week-long stay underground resemble a space mission. The trainees will follow timeline and procedures, including handling equipment and communication protocols just as on the International Space Station.
Make before break
Clambering down to basecamp hundreds of metres below the surface using safety tethers is similar to conducting a spacewalk, and this year the procedures have been updated to include astronaut terminology.
In space an object can quickly float away and be lost forever. In caving, dropped equipment can be lost for ever in crevices or holes.
Passing equipment, cavers and astronauts must make sure the recipient is grasping the item before the first person lets go: "make before break" in astronaut lingo.
"Caves is an exploration mission," explains CAVES exploration instructor Francesco Sauro, "and this year will be more difficult as the astronauts venture further from basecamp."
For the first time the trainees will set up an outpost more than 5 km from basecamp to spend the night, following directions and maps drawn by 'cavenauts' from previous years.
"It will be interesting to see how they manage the further exploration," continues Francesco. "As they distance themselves from basecamp it will get more challenging and I am curious to see how far they can go."
Science and technology
As for any space mission, science is a priority so the astronauts will be measuring carbon dioxide and radon levels as well as taking microbiological samples of the life they encounter. New techniques will be put to the test using apps developed by the trainers at the European Astronaut Centre that could be used on the International Space Station in the near future.
Step-by-step instructions incorporating schedules, procedures, crew notes and data collection in a single application should speed up experiments to get more work done.
The cavenauts will be testing exciting new technology for cavers as well. A system combining 3D cameras, laser mapping and a wearable computer offers the potential to map uncharted areas in real time and build a detailed 3D map for later use.
"What we are doing will be very interesting and useful for cavers all over the world," concludes Francesco.
This year's five astronauts will be announced soon.

Multi drug resistance-associated protein (IPR005292)
Short name: Multidrug-R_assoc
Overlapping homologous superfamilies
Family relationships
- Multi drug resistance-associated protein (IPR005292)
- Canalicular multispecific organic anion transporter 1 (IPR030247)
- Multidrug resistance-associated protein 6 (IPR030239)
ABC transporters belong to the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) superfamily, which uses the hydrolysis of ATP to energise diverse biological systems. ABC transporters minimally consist of two conserved regions: a highly conserved ATP binding cassette (ABC) and a less conserved transmembrane domain (TMD). These can be found on the same protein or on two different ones. Most ABC transporters function as a dimer and therefore are constituted of four domains, two ABC modules and two TMDs.
ABC transporters are involved in the export or import of a wide variety of substrates ranging from small ions to macromolecules. The major function of ABC import systems is to provide essential nutrients to bacteria. They are found only in prokaryotes and their four constitutive domains are usually encoded by independent polypeptides (two ABC proteins and two TMD proteins). Prokaryotic importers require additional extracytoplasmic binding proteins (one or more per systems) for function. In contrast, export systems are involved in the extrusion of noxious substances, the export of extracellular toxins and the targeting of membrane components. They are found in all living organisms and in general the TMD is fused to the ABC module in a variety of combinations. Some eukaryotic exporters encode the four domains on the same polypeptide chain [PMID: 9873074].
The ABC module (approximately two hundred amino acid residues) is known to bind and hydrolyse ATP, thereby coupling transport to ATP hydrolysis in a large number of biological processes. The cassette is duplicated in several subfamilies. Its primary sequence is highly conserved, displaying a typical phosphate-binding loop: Walker A, and a magnesium binding site: Walker B. Besides these two regions, three other conserved motifs are present in the ABC cassette: the switch region which contains a histidine loop, postulated to polarise the attaching water molecule for hydrolysis, the signature conserved motif (LSGGQ) specific to the ABC transporter, and the Q-motif (between Walker A and the signature), which interacts with the gamma phosphate through a water bond. The Walker A, Walker B, Q-loop and switch region form the nucleotide binding site [PMID: 11421269, PMID: 1282354, PMID: 9640644].
The 3D structure of a monomeric ABC module adopts a stubby L-shape with two distinct arms. ArmI (mainly beta-strand) contains Walker A and Walker B. The important residues for ATP hydrolysis and/or binding are located in the P-loop. The ATP-binding pocket is located at the extremity of armI. The perpendicular armII contains mostly the alpha helical subdomain with the signature motif. It only seems to be required for structural integrity of the ABC module. ArmII is in direct contact with the TMD. The hinge between armI and armII contains both the histidine loop and the Q-loop, making contact with the gamma phosphate of the ATP molecule. ATP hydrolysis leads to a conformational change that could facilitate ADP release. In the dimer the two ABC cassettes contact each other through hydrophobic interactions at the antiparallel beta-sheet of armI by a two-fold axis [PMID: 11988180, PMID: 11470432, PMID: 11402022, PMID: 9872322, PMID: 11080142, PMID: 11532960].
The ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) superfamily forms one of the largest of all protein families with a diversity of physiological functions [PMID: 9873074]. Several studies have shown that there is a correlation between the functional characterisation and the phylogenetic classification of the ABC cassette [PMID: 9873074, PMID: 11421270]. More than 50 subfamilies have been described based on a phylogenetic and functional classification [PMID: 9873074, PMID: 11421269, PMID: 11421270].
This family consists of multi drug resistance-associated protein (MRP) in eukaryotes. The multidrug resistance-associated protein is an integral membrane protein that causes multidrug resistance when overexpressed in mammalian cells. It belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. The protein topology and function was experimentally demonstrated by epitope tagging and immunofluorescence. Insertion of tags in the critical regions associated with drug efflux reduced its function. The C-terminal domain seems to be highly conserved.

CALIFORNIA CULTURES / The art of Abu Ghraib
AT LEAST two questions hang over the exhibit of Fernando Botero's paintings and drawings on the shameful abuses at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq that will open at the main library at UC Berkeley a week from today.
The first is what drove Botero, who typically draws whimsical, oversized pneumatic figures that have enormous popular appeal, to undertake these paintings in the first place.
The second is why they'll be displayed in a Berkeley library, rather than in the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim in New York, or SFMOMA.
Let's start with the first question.
The 73-year-old Colombian artist spent 14 months painting a series of 80 drawings and paintings that depict pain, degradation and torture -- all in the style of his more popular work.
"Once in a while something comes along that strikes you in a dramatic way," Botero told me when we talked by telephone from Mexico last week. He pointed out that he has taken on more explicitly political subjects in the past, such as his series on the ravages of the drug trade in Colombia.
He said he wasn't intending to "shock people or to accuse anyone" with his Abu Ghraib depictions. He didn't do them for commercial reasons (they're not for sale). "You do it because it is in your gut, you are upset, you are furious, you have to get it out of your system."
Nonetheless, he hopes that as Abu Ghraib fades from memory -- the prison is slated for demolition -- the paintings will be a reminder of what happened there. "People would forget about Guernica were it not for Picasso's masterpiece," he said. "Art is a permanent accusation. "
The trickier question is why no U.S. museum chose to exhibit them. The only other place they have been shown in the United States was last November at New York's private Marlborough Gallery, which has been showing and selling Botero's work for decades.
Some museums may have had security concerns. Look at what happened to the Copabianco Gallery in San Francisco, which was forced to close in 2004 after it showed a painting depicting torture of an Iraqi detainee, and the gallery was vandalized and its owner assaulted.
Some museums may have rejected the Abu Ghraib series for artistic reasons (even though Botero's less serious works are in the permanent exhibitions of many U.S. museums). SFMOMA says it wasn't offered the exhibit.
Then there's the likelihood that some were scared away by the content. By contrast, several European museums, including the Palazzo Venezia in Rome, had no problems showing the work.
Botero's paintings got the cold shoulder here despite favorable reviews in a range of respected publications. In an article titled "The Iconography of Torture" in this month's edition of Art in America, for example, the reviewer said the Abu Ghraib paintings "bear comparison with much of the political art of the modern era ... Like Guernica, Botero's Abu Ghraib paintings are a cry of pain at the pointless suffering inflicted on the victims of wars." The Washington Post's culture critic called it a "remarkable show, and a disturbing one."
When he read reviews like these, Harley Shaiken, chairman of the Center for Latin American Studies at Berkeley, decided he should try to bring Botero's work to the campus. "You may not like the art, you may not like the message, but it is something worth discussing," said Shaiken.
After extensive faculty discussions, he arranged to have the work exhibited in the main library. Botero will come to Berkeley for the opening. There will be seminars to put the exhibit in a larger context. (For exhibit details, go to www.clas.berkeley.edu). "A library is a place which has enormously controversial and provocative ideas at its core," said Shaiken. "The only difference is that we're putting these works on the walls instead of on the shelves."
For a campus that spawned the Free Speech Movement, that is an entirely appropriate sentiment.

Citation: Venold, F., Penn, M., Krogdahl, A., Overturf, K.E. 2012. Severity of soybean meal induced distal intestinal inflammation, enterocyte proliferation rate, and fatty acid binding protein (Fabp2) staining differ between strains of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Aquaculture. 364-365:281-292.
Interpretive Summary: Aquaculture production is expanding significantly around the world. One of the major impediments to both current and developing aquaculture production is the availability of sustainable sources of feed. Sustainable feeds have been developed but growth on these feeds is much lower than growth on traditional fishmeal based diets. A strain of rainbow trout was developed by the USDA-ARS in Hagerman, Idaho by selecting for growth and utilization of a sustainable plant-based feed. The ARS is currently examining the physiological changes that have occurred in the selected line that allows them to eat and utilize plant-based feeds more effectively. In this experiment it was found that the intestinal tract of selected rainbow trout showed an increased tolerance for the use of a plant-based feed when compared to unselected trout.
Technical Abstract: Complete replacement of fishmeal in feeds for carnivorous fishes often causes reduced growth and can negatively affect health. Salmonids fed diets containing full fat or defatted soybean meal develop dose dependent inflammation in the distal intestine (DI). Little is known about the sensitivity of different strains of rainbow trout to the effects of plant based diets. The current study investigated the response of a non-selected (NS) and selected (SE) strain of rainbow trout to a fishmeal free, plant based diet containing a high level of soybean meal. Fish from both strains were each divided into two groups and fed either a fish meal based control diet (FM) or an all plant meal diet (PM) containing 19% soybean meal, resulting in four treatments: FM-NS, FM-SE, PM-NS, and PM-SE. Tissue samples of the DI were collected after three months of feeding for histological (hematoxylin and eosin) and immunohistochemical (proliferating cell nuclear antigen, PCNA, and fatty acid binding protein 2, FABP2) analyses. Fish from the PM-NS treatment showed typical signs of DI inflammation, while the PM-SE did not and appeared equivalent to FM fed treatments. Moreover, the PM-NS fish displayed greater enterocyte PCNA staining indicating increased numbers of proliferating cells, and lower enterocyte Fabp2 staining compared to all other treatments. No differences were observed between FM-SE, FM-NS and PM-SE treatments. Results of the current work indicate that the sensitivity to dietary soybean meal varies between rainbow trout strains, and suggests that improved tolerance to dietary soy may be achieved by selective breeding.

10 most memorable moments in Camden Yards history
As Camden Yards prepares to open its 20th-anniversary season Friday when the Orioles face the Minnesota Twins, one can't help but look back on all the memorable moments that have occurred at the stadium. Picking the top 10 isn't easy — there are probably 25, maybe 50 moments that could have made the list, and full games were not taken into consideration. (We'll have a list of the 10 most memorable games in the stadium's history Tuesday.) But when you close your eyes and try to visualize Camden Yards, these are the 10 that stick out most, with one honorable mention added for good measure. — Dan Connolly

Chris Elsberry: Bill legalizing MMA could lead to big money for Arena
BRIDGEPORT -- The numbers, Howard Saffan says, don't lie. And when you sit down and take a good, long look at those numbers, they are impressive.
According to a survey by Scarborough Research published in the April 22, 2013, edition of Street & Smith's Sports Business Journal, 5.1 percent of the U.S. population is an "avid fan" of UFC -- Ultimate Fighting Championship. And even better, among Generation Y fans (males 18 to 29), 36.5 percent of the men surveyed like watching UFC events.
"When you look at those numbers, it's truly amazing," said Saffan, president of Harbor Yard Sports & Entertainment. "People are just voracious with this. People spend a lot of money to come to these events."
That's why, for the past couple of years, Saffan has been working with state representatives Don Clemons and Andres Ayala to legalize Mixed Martial Arts fighting in Connecticut, and on June 6, the state did just that. The Connecticut General Assembly Senate passed House Bill-5277 by a vote of 26-9. Earlier, the state House of Representatives passed the same bill 117-26.
"I really have to thank Don Clemons and Andres Ayala for their hard work to help get this bill passed," Saffan said. "If they didn't support and push this bill, there's no doubt in my mind that it wouldn't have passed."
What this means is, once Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signs the bill into law and the state decides on rules and regulations, the Webster Bank Arena can begin to book MMA events. Saffan is hoping to host three or four MMA events a year.
"I am told that when you host an MMA event, it is the biggest food and beverage event that you can host in an arena," Saffan said. "This came from people I know at the Prudential Center (in New Jersey). We don't know how much that means, but it's a long evening and an exciting evening."
According to that Scarborough survey, UFC (74.6 percent) is even more popular among men than WWE wrestling (62.8 percent), which holds events at the Arena. Why is it more popular? I don't know. Honestly, I don't see the thrill in either WWE or UFC, but Saffan knows the entertainment value of both and also knows that UFC is not nearly as dangerous or deadly as a lot of people (including me) think.
"It's safer than boxing," Saffan said. "There's a lot of grappling and if someone feels like they're spent, (tap) and you're done. I think it's more exciting than boxing. Because now, not only you can use your hands, your feet, but there's wrestling involved. It's just more excitement, people go at each other much quicker. I think that everyone can envision themselves doing that (UFC) versus boxing.
"There's just something more to (UFC). Why is WWE so popular? Because people can relate to wrestling. That's what they did when they were kids. MMA incorporates that but it also incorporates the physicality of punching and kicking.
"When you say `Mixed Martial Arts,' it's absolutely true. If you like karate or Jiu-jitsu and boxing, it's all incorporated in it. Which, I think, is more popular in today's world."
What also will help Saffan bring in UFC events is the fact that MMA is televised globally by NeuLion, one of the largest live streaming video companies in the world that provides technology and services to over 200 professional and collegiate sports properties and to over 200 international television channels from over 40 countries. NeuLion just happens to be owned by Charles Wang, who also owns the New York Islanders and Bridgeport Sound Tigers. Saffan is president of the Sound Tigers, who play at the Arena.
"NeuLion televises UFC worldwide," Saffan said. "And the (ratings) demographics here for them are just tremendous. People want to see this and this will give them and even New York residents a chance to see it, because it's still not legalized in New York state."
And even though the law was just recently passed by the state legislature, the MMA has been planning for that passage for some time now. The organization has been to the Arena several times to look at the possibilities of the building hosting UFC events. According to Saffan, the UFC is thrilled with the facility.
"It's no secret that they've come down here, they've scouted our arena," Saffan said. "They've visited our venue and they say this is the perfect venue for them. The single bowl element works well for them. The center-hung (scoreboard), that's huge. Every seat is a great visual seat to that center ring that they use, so the building is set up perfectly for UFC. The fact that our building is a modern building, we're all HD, that's a big deal too.
"We have a very strong relationship with them. We've worked with them to support the MMA bill and I'd like to think that we'll be announcing some events in the upcoming months."

2012 Bowlarama nearly didn't happen—a couple nights before the final, some salty scallywags poured oil into the bowl, rendering the surface dangerously slippery. Fortunately it was cleaned up and given a fresh coat of paint, just in time for the big day. Stevie Caballero was celebrating 20 years of the Half Cab and earned a well deserved victory in the Master's division. The traditional Love & Guts art show was well attended two nights prior and Nic Boserio took out the Australian Skater of the Year award at the Beach Road Hotel. All in all, a busy weekend for skateboarding in Sydney, Australia. Here are some highlights from the final hours of the competition. Enjoy.

Dave "Hawk" Wilder, who coached the Glendale Community College softball team the past 13 seasons, died Sunday at his home in Northridge. He was 70.
Glendale college assistant softball coach Sal Pizzo confirmed Wilder's death Monday. Pizzo said Wilder died of natural causes. Wilder, a Native American, was born June 27, 1942, and was a member of the Karuk Tribe.
Wilder coached the Vaqueros from 2001-13, going 213-274-2 overall and 124-141 in division play.
Pizzo, who has served as Wilder's assistant the past six seasons, said he had been living with Wilder for the past several months.
"He had been suffering from post polio and it's something he had when he was younger," Pizzo said. "It had been inflicting him [lately] to the point where he had trouble walking and needed a walking cane and a motor scooter to help him get around.
"I met him three or four years before I came to GCC. Hawk gave me a great opportunity to get my feet wet at the collegiate level. He made me an outfielder coach and I learned a lot from him. He cared very much about his players and wanted them to transfer to four-year schools and succeed there. He wanted to make the players' experiences positive at Glendale."
Pizzo said he saw Wilder around 5:30 a.m. Sunday before Pizzo went to coach a travel ball game. Pizzo found out about Wilder's death after Wilder's sister, Jamie, left a voice message on his cell phone.
Pizzo said Jamie had called Wilder to check up on her brother. When Wilder didn't answer, Pizzo said, Jamie became concerned and went to Wilder's residence and found him unresponsive before calling the paramedics.
Glendale college men's Athletic Director John Cicuto said Wilder's health began to deteriorate over the past year.
"We are very saddened about Dave's death," said Cicuto, who added that Pizzo will be the program's next coach. "I met with him early last week and he was weak and his voice was weak.
"It was very hard to see him deteriorate and suffer like that. He told me he just couldn't coach anymore and I told him to be strong. He had a great personality. Every time I saw him, he would thank me for hiring him as the coach. He found a way to always make you laugh and smile. He wanted to teach his players how to be good athletes and people in terms of work ethic. Dave took a lot of pride in being a Native American and he was a class guy."
Kelly Korras pitched at Glendale college during the 2007 and 2008 seasons before transferring to Chaminade University of Honolulu.
Korras, who was named the Western State Conference's Pitcher of the Year as a sophomore in 2008 after recording a 1.26 earned-run average, said Wilder taught her plenty of principals pertaining to softball.
"I had known Dave for many years and he wanted you to be the best player and person you could be academically and in athletics," said Korras, who is head coach at Westridge School and competed last year in the International Softball Federation's 13th Women's World Fastpitch Championship for South Africa. "He helped me with my hitting and pitching.
"He found players who were not quite ready to go to a four-year school right away out of high school or people who just wanted to get their start at GCC. He wanted you to learn and enjoy softball."
Jena Kaser, who served as Glendale's catcher the past two seasons, said Wilder worked with her on various catching and hitting techniques en route to receiving All-Western State Conference Blue Division postseason honors each season with the Vaqueros.
"I improved right from the start because he was very knowledgeable and passionate about the team and softball, " said Kaser, who earned a spot on the second team after batting .407 with a team-high eight home runs and 37 runs batted in this past season and will attend Sonoma State in the fall. "He put a lot of time into the program and had a lot of connections.
"He was a good role model who did the very best he could."
Glendale finished 17-21, 7-11 in the division this season. In 2012, the Vaqueros finished 30-15 and qualified for the postseason for the first time since 2002 after placing second in the division at 12-6. The Vaqueros went on to the California Community College Athletic Assn.'s Southern California Super Regionals for the first time in the program's history.
Wilder succeeded Craig Becker after the 2000 season.
Wilder also coached baseball at Verdugo Hills High, softball at Milken High and served as a hitting and pitching coach with the Tampa Bay Fire Stix, a professional softball team. Wilder had been involved with softball since 1974, coaching various travel softball teams.
Pizzo said services are pending.

Harold S. Heller's connection to Brooklyn is still a mystery to me, although I haven't done that much digging. All of Heller's patents I've found were filed in Cleveland, OH. I suspect there's a possibly a warehouse somewhere in Brooklyn that bears the shadow of the Heller name, I only have to find it. When I do find it, you'll be sure to hear about it.

Creating forests out of terrian and Lattice ( Tutorial added )
I found this material in vegetation /small plants / foliage and foliage 2..
I think it's perfect for creating forest scapes .
In picture 1 I created a terrain went into editor clicked new and added spikes.. then added foliage material and placed the terrains randomly
Looks like a evergreen forest.
In the other pictures I created a lattice went into editor clicked new and added mounds,I used the slider to make the mounds seperate from each other, then again foliage material and placed lattice objects randomly on ground. Looks like common forest.
Well they do in my eyes..lol...
Only problem is this only works within a birds view
Maybe someone can use this..
Scroll to post 6 in this thread for a tutorial....

@lantis, seeing as how this has generated some interest but some aren't having luck duplicating your results, maybe we could encourage you to create a tutorial showing how you did it? Not necessarily a video one although that would be supper if you are able but even just a text based one with guiding pictures would be nice and helpful.

My dad was one of those poor kids who never went to the same school for more than a year or two. He grew up during the war, and because of his dad's job (building aluminum factories), their family was always on the move. Many of his early years though, were spent in the South.
For whatever reasons, he doesn't have a lot of fond memories of the South. I think probably all that moving around makes it hard to really bond with a place. Plus, those were the days of segregation in the South, which he doesn't remember fondly.
Thinking about my dad and his Southern tastes, I decided to make a dinner of Hottie Black Eyed Peas with Collards (from Appetite for Reduction), and serve them with Creamy Polenta* (from Let Them Eat Vegan). Then, at the last minute, I realized that instead of just dedicating the meal with my dad, I could just invite my mom and dad over the share the meal with us!
What a delicious meal we had. You guys, that polenta/grits is so totally delicious! It was a perfect combo with the BEPs and Collards!

Manchester United signed a $240-million deal with Aon that covers branding the club's training kit as well as the renaming of its training ground. Dow Jones's Peter Evans says the expensive deal reflects the club's rising commercial success in Asia.

Older friends sharing time are sharing kisses as well
DEAR ABBY: I am a semi-retired widow in my 60s. A few months ago I started spending time with a man I work with. We would see each other once or twice a month, strictly as friends. Our "dates" ended with a platonic hug.
About a month ago, a hug turned into an embrace. A week later, the embrace became a passionate kiss. Since then, whenever we get together — now once or twice a week — we spend a good portion of our time together "making out." We love the way each other kisses.
The problem is, we're still just friends. There is no desire on the part of either of us to take the relationship up a notch. What do we do? We should not be kissing a friend the way we do, but we can't seem to stop.
We're not hurting anyone. We have tried meeting only in public places, but there is still the goodnight kiss. I never thought I'd need this kind of advice at my age. Must we stop spending time together? — FLABBERGASTED IN WISCONSIN
DEAR FLABBERGASTED: Not in my opinion. I assume you're both eligible. This is the way relationships develop, and you would be foolish not to see where it leads. As of now, a kiss is still a kiss. Let me hear from you in a month.
DEAR ABBY: I am writing on behalf of hairstylists. We are busy people. Our time is money. We rarely even stop for lunch. Clients who come in talking on their cellphones are a real problem for us because they slow us down.
I have had clients jump up from my chair to answer their cellphone in the middle of a haircut — hair flying everywhere. I have had to do a haircut AROUND a cellphone, with the client switching the phone from ear to ear! These are not even important calls — just casual conversations.
The lack of courtesy is ridiculous, and it seems to be getting worse. I would like people who do this to think twice before subjecting their stylist to it. They should put their phones on silent, get their hair cut or colored, and talk on their own time! — FED UP IN NEBRASKA
DEAR FED UP: You are not helpless. This is happening because you have allowed it. If you can't find the gumption to tell your customers you don't want them using their cellphones while they're in your chair, then post a sign on your mirror that reads "Cellphones Not Allowed."
DEAR ABBY: I am a new bride. I love my husband very much, but I've encountered a problem I don't know how to handle. My husband and I were together for six years before we got married and were engaged for three. We eloped to Las Vegas (it wasn't planned) and had a "proper" celebration with friends and family later.
My husband makes comments that suggest I dragged him and tricked him into marrying me. I know he's only kidding, but it's very hurtful. I don't know how to let him know his comments really hurt my feelings. It makes me feel like he's ashamed of our marriage. — NEWLYWED IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR NEWLYWED: The squeaky wheel gets the grease. The next time your husband does it, speak up. Explain that his attempts at humor are hurtful, not to mention insulting. Ask him if he regrets marrying you. (If the answer is yes, it's important that you know it NOW.) Clear communication is the key to a strong marriage, and so is respect for one's partner, which he appears to be lacking.

Taylor Swift and Eric Church Make Unexpected Appearance on College Hockey Goalie's Mask
If it seems like Taylor Swift and Eric Church are everywhere you look these days, you ain't seen nothin' yet. The two ubiquitous entertainers are not only all over the radio, internet and television, now they're also making their way into the sports world -- sort of. Brody Hoffman, a goalie for the University of Vermont, has placed images of both country singers on either side of his mask, as seen above.
Hoffman just finished his freshman season at Vermont. The Wilkie, Saskatchewan native previously played for Fort McMurray in the Alberta Junior Hockey League. He's obviously a country music fan, but even so, his tastes are evidently very diverse -- the squeaky-clean Swift and the hardcore Church are about as far apart as you can get within the confines of the country genre.
We can understand how having Church's slightly menacing mug on his mask might help give Hoffman the psychological edge over his opponents on the ice, but we have to confess a certain amount of puzzlement at Swift's presence, since she's not exactly intimidating. Does her pristine countenance simply bedazzle the other team with its overwhelming goodness? Or maybe the guys on the other side are so busy checking her out that they just stand there like fools while Hoffman's team mates push them all over the ice.
Hoffman has three more years with the Catamounts. What other country stars would you like to see on his helmet in the future?

I'm interested in starting one. I think we need to take a lot of the positives from religion, and none of the negatives. What do you think?
Views: 1277
We are members of a social species and social interaction has many benefits. What? When did you figure that out? By stating an obvious fact and repeating your initial premise you think that validates your claim that religion has positives?
Not having religion in my life has only made it better. I am not missing out on anything by not having it. There is no absence in my life without it. Once again what positives are you talking about that religion can offer us that we don't already have?
@Reg - for one thing, comfort and support. Sometimes the need for these is real. Religion can provide this for some people, albeit that we can argue that their premises are false. (They're not as false as they look.) The trouble I'm having is translating the atheist versions of this into real action or real life. That's OK. These things take time.
That's fine Simon. If religious people need to seek comfort and support from their religious community that's fine by me. Even Carl Sagan (I think) said we can all do with something to get through our darkest hour. However that was not my question. I specifically asked what is that religion has to offer that we do not already have. If there are any gaps in my life I cannot think of anything "religious" that I could use. Not having religion is a bonus to me.
Somehow I think one of the key terms is "long-term best interests". Also - "Resilience reflects that which characterizes a twig with a fresh, green, living core: when stepped on, such a twig bends and yet springs back."
That is very fortunate for you Reg. I believe that religion has things to offer (some good, some bad), which some people reject and some people accept. There is no positive thing that a religion can offer us that we don't already have. I simply propose the idea as a method to offer positives to those who would benefit from them, at less of a cost to them, with less strings attached. Perhaps I should be using the term charity, instead of religion, but there are negative social stigmas attached to charity too.
Maybe just setup a "group" then of likeminded people. Then give it a name.
This sounds good, Reg. It also needs to have "priests" - experts - monks and nuns, to take care of the hardcore end of things. Someone like Eckhart Tolle except not totally up their own arse.
How about setting up a group for non-theists? Maybe an online site that Atheists could join and discuss ideas on. If only I could think of a good name for such a website. Imagine a website just for Atheists that don't need or want anything religious in their lives. One where they could just think about things Atheists like to think about.
Yeah, I (and others) easily do that... but I was talking about more than a website.
But a religion needs something to worship, and right now atheists have nothing to worship, apart from Richard Dawkins' hairy arse.
I think that one of the most readily identifiable traits of atheists is the lack of sacred idols, things needing to be worshiped. That is why I find your idea so ridiculous. Great philosophy? Not specific enough. Humanist morality? Not metaphysical enough. - No no, what atheists are missing is something to worship, we gotta start worshiping something and adopting metaphysical claims before we can truly break free from religion.
Not sure if serious? ... I worship learning. I don't often look at "sacred idols", but hey... they're available.
We get caught in linguistic loopholes discussing religion, worship, deities etc. It's unfortunate. :(

Feb. 2, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - In his fourth year at the helm of the MIT men's volleyball program, head coach Paul Dill earned his 65th career win following a 30-27, 30-18, 30-25 decision over Baruch College on Friday to become the all-time winningest coach in the history of the program. He is the sixth person at the Institute to earn the distinction of compiling the most wins as the head coach of two teams as he achieved this milestone with Tech's women's volleyball program in 2005.
The Bearcats (0-9) opened the match with three consecutive points which was then replicated by the Engineers (7-1). After trading points, Baruch scored four unanswered points before MIT tallied five in a row to take a 10-9 lead. The Bearcats responded with another four-point spurt and eventually held a 16-15 advantage. The Engineers picked up five of the next six points to go up 20-17. Following another four points by Baruch, MIT evened the contest at 21 for the ninth tie of the game. The Bearcats earned back-to-back points, but behind Philip Rogoz's serve, the Engineers went ahead, 26-23. Both sides traded points to close out the game.
Nationally-ranked No. 10 MIT raced out to a 7-2 advantage in the second stanza. Baruch stayed within striking distance for most of the frame as it trailed by five as late as 19-14. A six-point run that was followed by a four-point spree helped power the Engineers to the win.
The final frame was much like the first as it featured 10 ties and 10 lead changes. Baruch established a 10-7 edge which prompted a timeout by MIT. Following the break, the Engineers recorded the next two points. The Bearcats maintained the slim lead as they went ahead, 15-12. MIT registered three points in a row, but Baruch responded in kind. The Engineers slowly chipped away at the deficit and then took the lead at 24-22. The Bearcats produced the final tie of the match before MIT tallied five unanswered points. Following a service error by the Engineers, a blast by Praveen Pamidimukkala sealed the match.
Pamidimukkala notched his second double-double of the week on 21 kills and 10 digs while tallying three aces. Eric Reuland also posted 10 digs to go along with 13 kills as Steve Ray and Michael Demyttenaere each recorded six blocks. Ryan Dean registered eight kills, six blocks and six assists while Eugene Jang earned two aces. Philip Rogoz finished the night with 39 assists, nine digs, and three aces.
Greg Waldvogel paced Baruch with 14 kills and 11 digs as Stephen Hansen collected seven kills and seven digs. Radek Wyrwas distributed 10 assists for the Bearcats.
Next up for MIT will be a North East Collegiate Volleyball Association (NECVA) New England Division match at Southern Vermont College on Saturday, Feb. 3. Baruch will make the trip across the Charles River on the same day as it will face Newbury College and Wentworth Institute of Technology in a tri-match.

As with last week's French Onion Soup, each chef puts his or her own twist on the pairing of Salmon and Lentils. If you look up lentils in The Flavor Bible, you'll see the very highly recommended pairings of ingredients - bay leaf, carrots, celery, garlic, oil, parsley, pepper, SALMON, salt, stocks, and vinegar. Under salmon, you'll see many of the same very highly recommended pairings, including bay leaf, carrots, garlic, LENTILS, oil, onions, parsley, pepper, salt, stocks and vinegar. Frequently recommended pairings for both salmon and lentils include bacon and leeks. Finally, under salmon, one of the flavor affinities (compatible flavor groups) is salmon + bacon + lentils + sherry vinegar.
While I didn't follow Dorie's preparation methods, I did use the classic pairing of ingredients used in many of the recipes I reviewed, and I added a few others which are often used: Bacon and sherry wine vinegar in the lentils, and crispy fried leeks for garnish. I've poached fish in olive oil once or twice, and wanted to try that method with this salmon (wonderfully moist, tender and perfectly cooked). For the lentils, I liked the idea of rendering the bacon until just starting to brown, and then sauteing the carrots and onions in the bacon fat before adding the lentils and stock or water. The crispy fried leeks added a nice flavor and texture to the finished dish.
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 pound French green lentils, lentilles du Puy if you can find them
2 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
Black pepper, to taste
Cook the bacon over medium-low heat in a medium pot until the fat renders and the bacon starts to sizzle and brown, about 7 minutes. Add the chopped carrots and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook until it is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the lentils, coating them with the flavoring mixture. Add the water, stir and bring to a simmer. Add three-fourths teaspoon salt, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the lentils are tender, about 40 minutes. They should still be slightly soupy. Just before serving, stir in the red wine vinegar and black pepper.
Attach a deep-frying thermometer to pan and heat oil to 180 degrees over medium-low heat. Reduce heat and monitor temperature, adjusting until temperature remains stable at 180 degrees. When temperature is stable, add fish. Oil temperature will drop, so raise heat slightly (never above medium-low) just until it reaches 180 degrees again, and then reduce heat.
Cook fish about 13 to 15 minutes, until the top is completely opaque and the internal temperature of the thickest part of the fillets reach 140 degrees. Carefully remove the fillets from the oil to a plate lined with paper towels, and let drain.
Spoon lentils into serving bowl and place salmon fillet on top. Drizzle with a few drops of truffle oil, and garnish with fried leeks and chopped parsley.
French Fridays with Dorie is an online cooking group, dedicated to Dorie Greenspan's newest book Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours. As members of the group, we have purchased the cookbook and cook along as much as we can. There is a new recipe each week, and we post about that recipe on Friday. We are asked to refrain from posting the actual recipes on our blog. The book is filled with stunning photography, and personal stories about each recipe, which makes it that much more intriguing. I highly recommend adding it to your cookbook collection if you haven't already!

March 3, 2013
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State's Sand Volleyball team kicked off its second season with a Garnet & Gold intersquad match at the Seminole Sand Volleyball Courts on Sunday.
"We were really deep [as a team] and I knew that we would be, but we had some really strong performances coming out of nowhere and it's a great place to be," FSU head coach Danalee Corso said.
The girls were split into two teams. The Garnet Team, also known as Team Malihini, which means "visitor" in Hawaiian, was made up of players who live outside of Central and South Florida. The Gold Team, also known as Team Kama'aina, which means "resident" in Hawaiian, was made up of players from Central and South Florida. Each player played a `game within a game.' What that meant was that each individual player obtained points for their respective team when they won their match (not set). The team with the most points at the end of the second match was declared the winner. Team Malihini, or the Garnet Team, defeated Team Kama'aina, or the Gold Team, 12-8.
The Seminoles had three different teams win a combined all four sets in both of their matches. Each of those teams had one true freshman on them as well.
"I am really happy with the freshman," Corso said. "I think they've really proven that they can step in and take a major role. I love that. I think that's how it's going to be every year. It's going to be tough to find a starting spot and that's how it is at really good programs in any sport."
Sophomore Melanie Pavels and freshman Katherine Plessy owned court two all day long by defeating the duo of sophomore Jace Pardon and senior Marija Milosavljevic, 21-16, 21-18, and defeating the team of sophomore Sarah Wickstrom and freshman Julie Brown, 21-18, 21-17.
Junior Jeassica McGregor and freshman Lexy Ryan beat freshman Kayla Joyce and senior Amanda Saxton in straight sets, 21-19, 21-19, in the first match. In the second match, McGregor and Ryan squeezed out a close one in straight sets against sophomore Katie Mosher and freshman Sarah Burrington, 21-19, 24-22.
The most dominant team was the duo of freshman Nina Pellitteri and junior Olivera Medic. The tandem cruised past the teams of freshmen Blyss Harkness and Annie Montgomery, 21-14, 21-15, and sophomore Stephanie Pellitteri and senior Mallory Kiley, 21-17, 21-15. "Today I was really nervous to be honest," said Nina Pellitteri. "Our first game of the season, I didn't know what was going to happen as a freshman, but it turned out really well today. Oli and I ended up playing really great and won some big games today."
The most entertaining matches of the day happened on court three and on court one.
In the first match on court three, Stephanie Pellitteri and Kiley defeated the team of Mosher and Burrington in three sets, 21-13, 21-23, 16-14. Each set constantly went back and forth; the third and final set was decided by having to win by two.
In the second match on court one, the marquee match between All-American Aurora Davis and new partner Fatma Yildirim against Pardon and Milosavljevic was one to get Seminole fans excited for this season. Pardon and Milosavljevic took the first set, 21-15, before Davis and Yildirim came fighting back winning the last two sets and clinching the match point. Davis secured the match point on an ace to win the third set, 15-7.
A year ago, Davis (née Newgard) was named an All-American with her partner Brittany Tiegs. With Tiegs gone, Davis will likely spend the season playing with Yildirm, who was an indoor All-American for the Seminoles this season.
"The last couple weeks we have been playing a lot together, getting a feel for one another," Davis said. "I was just really excited. Fatma is a really awesome player."
The Florida State sand volleyball team heads to the west coast next week for a Tri-Match against USC and LMU to begin full competition on Sunday, March 10 in Los Angeles, Calif.
