Thank you all for your help on this. Secrets is currently off the document that will go to our cartographer in about 3 hours. It's not too late for an 11th hour reprieve if anybody can confirm it still exists and is open. There are only two establishments deliberately excluded from our maps, and that is at their own request.

People usually get plague from being bitten by a rodent flea that is carrying the plague bacterium or by handling an infected animal. Millions of people in Europe died from plague in the Middle Ages, when human homes and places of work were inhabited by flea-infested rats. Today, modern antibiotics are effective against plague, but if an infected person is not treated promptly, the disease is likely to cause illness or death.

text: When 2017 first began, it was stated by financial and industry "experts" that the auto realm would continue to have yet another amazing year. 2016 was a thrill ride when it came to auto sales, yet now that sales figures have been released, there are many people surprised that figures are far less than first expected. The only one fact that has remained is that everyone – from sea to shining sea – still seems to love cars. They all want the 'best of the best' sitting in their own driveways, even if they have no shot at actually paying for them.

U.S. stocks fell, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index to a nine-week low, after Chinese equities entered a bear market amid concern a cash crunch will hurt growth and as investors weighed the impact of a possible reduction in the Federal Reserve's monetary stimulus.
Bank of America Corp. and Citigroup Inc. slid 2.9% as banks tumbled. Apple Inc. fell 2.2% as Jefferies & Co. lowered the stock's price target amid a glut of unsold iPhones. Allergan Inc. sank 11% amid analyst downgrades. Vanguard Health Systems Inc. surged 68% after agreeing to be bought by Tenet Healthcare Corp. for about $1.8 billion.
The S&P 500 fell 1% to 1,576.60 at 3:50 p.m. in New York. The index trimmed an early drop of 2% after Fed Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher said investors shouldn't overreact to plans to slow bond purchases. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 106.13 points, or 0.7%, to 14,715.16. Trading in S&P 500 stocks was 37% above the 30-day average during this time of day.
"Fisher's comments seemed to dial back some of the negative rhetoric that people had in terms of Chairman Bernanke's comments last week," Michael James, a managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities Inc. in Los Angeles, said in a phone interview. "This remains a trader and sentiment-driven market that's susceptible to swings in either direction at the drop of hat."
The S&P 500 sank 2.1% last week, the most since April 19, after the Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the bank may start paring stimulus measures as soon as September if the economy improves in line with its forecasts. The stimulus has helped fuel a rally in stocks worldwide, with the benchmark U.S. index surging 133% from its March 2009 low.
'Feral Hogs'
Investors behaved like "feral hogs" after the Fed's comments June 19, Fisher said in an interview with the Financial Times published today on its website. He reiterated in a speech in London today his support for reduced bond buying this year if the economy makes the kind of progress officials are currently expecting.
Economic data this week could add to the case for the Fed to slow purchases. Reports tomorrow may show U.S. durable-goods orders rose and house prices continued to recover, according to Bloomberg surveys of economists. Data last week showed sales of previously owned homes climbed in May to the highest level in more than three years and manufacturing improved in June.

JH2010 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 1244 diseños de 292 diseñadores freelance.
IVI Solutions
It is about a company building websites, and rich internet applications, also cross media products. Good looking, good working projects are pretty important, but it is not a design company, but work is done with other design companies to reach a high level of quality. The focus lies on websites or applications, which are fun to use, enjoyable, easy, simple to use. The keywords are: intelligent, intuitive, innovative, interactive. And that is also where the logo is coming from, 4i = IV I = IVI.
The claim is not clear, but for now we can work with the 4 parameters / words:
intelligent, intuitive, innocative and interactive
If that changes, we do it ourself, or get back to the designer.
The target audience are agencies with a high level of design expectaitions for their own projects, as well as clients with a high interest of getting a complete working (in terms of effective, enjoyable,...) product (website, application,...). Potential clients are looking for software development, but also for complete projects, where we will handle the design process with our external partners.
The logo is mainly for digital media. The logo will also be used on cards, invoices or such, but fax etc. is not important, so it can be colorful, 3d or whatever. (Monochrom is an option too ;))
I attached screenshots of the old logo which was developed with the idea to have modules. Another idea one could use for a logo is to have something plugable, the clients get's something which works out of the bugs / he plugs in and he can use it right away.
The logo should also work inside of applications as a branding item.
For the design, what you see in the screenshots is too classic, I imagine something more crazy, interesting. As the whole thing will be developed further for website design as well as for application layout, having it on a clean background is probably important, white background. The logo should be outstanding, recognizable. It can be also done with more colors, if it's nice, suprise us with something crazy, funny, outstanding. Maybe also upload rough sketches for quicker feedback before working on details.
The typeface should be clear and simple, nothing romantic.

Archer: Season 2 (US - BD RA)
Gabe revisits the adventures of his favourite sociopath secret agent...
Back in the '90s, Matt Thompson and Adam Reed's 70/30 Productions were partially responsible for the early success of the Adult Swim network, thanks to their popular underwater spoof Sealab 2021. Sealab started strong, but after about a season the joke started to wear thin, and after two seasons Thompson and Reed seemed to lose interest in the show entirely. Like most of Adult Swim's first generation shows, Sealab stopped being funny, and turned into an almost hateful Dadaist attack. 70/30's second show, Frisky Dingo, was a serialized spoof of current affairs and comic books. Unlike the largely one-shot Sealab, Frisky Dingo's first season was both character and plot driven, and a clever statement on the concept of superheroes and villains. The show's second season was even better, and stands as one of my favourite satires of the American political process ever produced for film or television. The second season ended with a stinger of a cliffhanger, but the show was canceled, and 70/30 Productions disbanded. Soon after, however Adam Reed went to the Fox owned FX channel with a new Flash animated series – Archer.
Archer follows Sterling Archer (H. John Benjamin), a capable, suave, and incredibly sociopathic secret agent. Archer works for his domineering, equally sociopathic mother, Malory Archer (Jessica Walter) at the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS), a private spy firm based in New York City. Archer's cohorts include: ex-girlfriend Lana Kang (Aisha Tyler), another capable agent with an actual conscience, ISIS's nebbish, addictive personality-stricken accountant Cyril Figgis (Chris Parnell), possibly psychotic secretary Cheryl/Carol/Carina/Cristal (Judy Greer), condescending, sex addicted HR director Pam Poovey (Amber Nash), kinky mad scientist Doctor Krieger (Lucky Yates), openly gay and good-natured intelligence analyst Ray Gillette (Adam Reed), and Archer's pathetic and abused man-servant/butler Woodhouse (George Coe).
'I'm from Germany, where the age of consent is 14.'
'What is it, the Alabama of Europe?'
'In many ways, yes…'
The second season starts with Swiss Miss, which doesn't exactly feel like a welcome back to the series as much as the next episode in the first season. However, there are plenty of callbacks to things that happened between seasons, and introduces the theme of ISIS being low on funds, which continues throughout much of the season. The majority of the story revolves around Archer being accused of sexually harassing Anka (Kari Wahlgren), the spoiled 16-year-old daughter of a famous German dignitary Malory is courting for funds, who happens to be sexually harassing him when no one is watching. It's kind of like One Froggy Evening with a little blonde nymphomaniac. It's not exactly a standout episode, but has some good laughs, and it features a reasonably impressive action sequence.
'So, Krieger's a doctor.'
'Not the medical kind!'
'Not even the other kind... technically.'
A Going Concern sees Malory admitting that ISIS is out of money following a ponzi scheme, and attempting to sell the company to rival private spy agency ODIN. Archer develops a delightfully convoluted scheme with the staff to break down negotiations. This is another somewhat interchangeable episode that revisits character issues and rivalries covered in season one. My favourite ongoing gag is the throwaway fact that Cheryl is fresh from a trip to Jamaica, and constantly smoking pot and referring to how 'un-irie' the situation is. She also calls Cyril 'Pilbo Baggins', which is a good one-liner.
'The mochachino ones are the cutest. And I guess he'd be half gay too. Can you say 'best dancer ever?''
The season continues to flounder a bit with Blood Test, which sees a hooker from Archer's past appearing with a baby she claims belongs to him. ODIN is put in control of the pending DNA test, and the ISIS team throws a surprise baby shower for 'The Wee Baby Seamus' just to piss Archer off. This episode features more callbacks and previously covered character development, but doesn't repeat itself too much, and does have some amusing back and forth dialogue. Listen to the left stereo channel for several 'me too!' replies from Krieger.
'This must be what it's like to have sex with me!'
'How can an airboat be selfish?'
Pipeline Fever is the first really great episode of the season. Here, Archer and Lana are sent to the Louisiana Bayou to prevent an eco-terrorist from bombing America's largest natural gas pipeline. They spend most of their time bickering through their sexual tension, and Archer makes continuous reference to Burt Reynolds' movies (specifically Gator and White Lightning). Meanwhile, the ISIS crew tries to green-ify their office. Archer and Lana's interactions are among the best character-based comedy in the show's history, and strangely sweet in that way only Adam Reed can achieve. The episode also features an off-handed reference to Alien Resurrection, and briefly covers Lana's entry into ISIS.
'I can do baby or geezer murder mystery, but I can't do both!'
The Wee Baby Seamus returns for The Double Deuce, which revolves mostly around Archer and his abused butler Woodhouse investigating the mysterious deaths of Woodhouse's famed WWI Royal Flying Corps. This episode is sort of a spoof of the Batman stories where Alfred's war/spy/whatever past comes back to haunt him, which itself is a long-running war story trope ( Simpsons did it), and is a pleasant departure in scope and storytelling for the series (the scenes of young Woodhouse on WWI battlefields are pretty impressive for relatively cheap Flash animation). It's also a surprisingly touching episode in a backhanded, bizarro fashion, and the office b-story is plenty amusing, especially the throw-away gags about Malory's parenting style.
'So hey, how 'bout I take a crack at it. I bet I could kill that pesky ol' worm.'
'How, by disappointing it to death?!?'
Following The Double Deuce, which redeems the oft-abused Woodhouse, Tragical History works to redeem the show's other most commonly abused character – Cyril. Following a particularly demeaning night at the bar Cyril helps a mysterious computer security expert named George Spelvin (Peter Serafinowicz) inject a hilarious virus into the ISIS mainframe in hopes of appearing to be a hero when he defeats said virus. Unsurprisingly, things quickly get out of hand, and Cyril isn't entirely redeemed in the end. This is another strong episode, and a particularly fast paced one. It's also refreshingly forward moving, following a couple of strong back-story episodes, and ends with another very funny action sequence.
'Where's my journal?'
'I maybe kind of sort of took it?'
'Why would you do that?'
'Did you think it was meat?'
In Movie Star a, erm, movie star named Rona Thorne (Rachael Harris) appears at ISIS and starts shadowing Lana in preparation for her new role as a spy. The staff slowly unravels in her presence – Malory monopolizes the staff for her screenplay, Lana's ego grows as Rona flatters her, Archer develops a hilarious scheme to embarrass her, and the b-staff bickers while trying to sneak Rona's stolen diary back into her flat. Here Reed and his writers revisit some of the celebrity themes so common in Frisky Dingo, find a fun twist, and they're on point with more fast paced comedy.
'My entire laboratory is at your disposal.'
'Thanks I'll let you know if I need a hybrid pig-boy.'
Stage Two is where the preverbal shit gets real. Malory gets some bad news on a routine mammogram, and in true Archer fashion the ISIS crew worries more about their own mortality, and it turns out Archer himself is the one suffering from breast cancer. Many, many comedy writers have attempted to cast cancer in a funny light, and most of them have failed. This episode manages to successfully spoof everything that goes along with the bad news, from the sad moments, to the sappy, feel good stuff lesser writers tend to hide behind, all with surprising affection. The episode ends with a particularly novel cancer joke where Archer gets good news/bad news/good news/bad news, and acts accordingly, treating his friends either well (when he thinks he's dying), or in the normal, crappy fashion (when he thinks he's going to be okay).
'Krieger's father's was a Nazi scientist.'
'And JFK's father was a bootlegger.'
'What!? That's like comparing apples to Nazi oranges.'
Placebo Effect is a straight continuation of Stage Two. Here Archer learns that his that his expensive chemotherapy drugs are actually sugar pills and Zima, then goes on a violent, vengeful rampage. Lana tags along out of general guilt, and films the whole thing with a Super 8mm camera. Things get especially darkly funny as Archer continues his rampage under the effects of real chemical therapy, which leads to a lot of vomiting, which in turn, leads to pot smoking. The b-story features Cyril trying to prove Krieger is a Brazilian Hitler clone. This episode was personally cathartic (really funny timing on the release date), potently badass despite its jokey nature, and possibly the best of the entire series.
'I'm not negotiating with a cyborg.'
'That's just a voice modulator.'
'You don't think cyborgs have that technology!?'
El Secuestro switches gears and focuses on Pam and Cheryl(/Carol/Carina/Cristal), two characters that don't get a whole lot of a-screen time in the second season. Pam is mistaken for Cheryl by a van of bumbling kidnappers and held hostage. Turns out Cheryl is the wealthy heir to a railroad empire, and for a 'small fee' Malory puts ISIS on lockdown to protect her. What's more important here is that the writers adore Pam (more than Malory, who only agrees to save her because Cheryl insists on it), and giving her a more centric place in an episode plot breeds comedy magic. Still, we could use even more Pam than this. The Pam-blank spots are balanced with some extra time with Ray and Archer, who are sent on a relatively pathetic rescue mission. Best joke: The kidnappers tell the ISIS ops to drop their weapons or they'll shoot Pam, and the ops slowly raise their guns in response.
'I have a plan that doesn't involve you stealing my toiletries.'
'You're not using them.'
'Yes, I am.'
'Go look at your pores and then tell me you're using them,'
In Jeu Monégasque Archer, Malory, Lana, and Ray travel to Monaco during Gran Prix week to trade $4 million in untraceable bearer bonds for a secret spy disc (likely featuring Malory in another compromising sexual position). Archer is entrusted with the bonds, and unfortunately rediscovers the joys of gambling. Meanwhile, back at ISIS headquarters, Cyril discovers that the money Archer is holding was taken from the staff's 401Ks. This is another average episode, but it picks up a bit thanks to a lot of character balance. There's really no lead here, and Ray plays an inordinately large role. The editing is also quite strong here. If it weren't for the pauses for discussion-based humour this episode would make a good heist-thriller.
'Of course undercover!'
'As what? Russia's only black woman?'
White Nights see Archer secretly shuffling off to Soviet Russia (who in the Archer universe we are still at war with) in search of Maj. Nikolai Jackov (Peter Newman), who might be his father. He misses his drop point, and is taken hostage by the KGB. Malory's only option is to send Archer's long-standing rival, ODEN agent Barry Dillon (Dave Willis), to rescue him. This is the one episode of the season I missed when it aired, and is among the better mixes of series mythology, character interaction, absurd one-liners and action sequences.
'What part of "I'm a cyborg" are you people still not getting?'
'The core concept, I guess.'
The season comes to an end with Double Trouble, a direct continuation of the previous episode. Archer is rescued by KGB agent Katya Kasanova (Ona Grauer), who claims that she wants to defect and join ISIS. Malory and Lana are suspicious, and assume Katya is actual intent on stealing information from Krieger. This episode doesn't so much end on a shocker or cliffhanger so much as it ends on a snide joke at the expense of the usual season-ending shocker or cliffhanger. I had assumed the thread here would be dropped entirely with season three, but sure enough, it actually plays heavily into the season three premier.
Like Frisky Dingo and Sealab 2021, Archer is a simple, Flash animated series. The characters are simple vector drawings, usually with one colour shade, and no gradient blends. Textures and patterns are also rarely utilized, so the clarity of the animated elements is almost strictly found in the vibrancy and clarity of the colours, and the solid nature of the black edges. On these simple terms I have no complaints concerning this full 1080p, 1.78:1 transfer. The episodes are stretched over two discs, so compression artefacts aren't an issue, save maybe a bit of low level noise on the darker warm shades. The backgrounds are, for the most part, Photoshop-filtered photographs. This is much more obvious in straight-from-the-Blu-ray 1080p. On television artifacts make the backgrounds appear painted. The filters create some edge-enhancement effects that I'm thinking are unavoidable. The contrast between the more graphic animated character elements and the static, more natural backgrounds is a bit muddier on the DVD release, which also loses plenty of the smallest details.
Archer comes fitted with a relatively modest DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix that more than adequately fits the bill. The uncompressed quality makes for a cleaner and generally louder experience than the Dolby Digital 5.1 HDTV airings, which are also a bit more muddled. The mixes are usually quite simple and heavily dependent on dialogue, which sounds nice and clear for the most part. Stereo channel jokes are pretty common, usually when an off-screen character has a sarcastic quip to lob at that on-screen characters. When there is some kind of explosion of sound, it's usually in the form of literal explosions or gunshots, though there are a handful of aurally expressive car chases. These exceptions to the rule are plenty clear and expressive in terms of movement, but the effects are always pretty low in terms of volume. The music is also consistently a bit low on the track for my liking considering the generally cool quality it adds to the action sequences, but the opening and closing titles sound great.
All the extras are delegated to the second disc of the set, and start with Archersaurus – Self Extinction (3:10, HD), a really strange short episode set up like a mock episode of True Hollywood Story. Here a dinosaur named Archersaurus enacts a series of Hollywood-type fall from grace stories. Ask Archer (5:00, HD) features the title character answering 'fan questions'. Semper Fi (1:50, HD) features Archer giving a shout out to army troops in Afghanistan. L'espion Mal Fait (5:20, HD) is a short cartoon where Archer's face and body are replaced with something much closer to H. John Benjamin's actual face. ISIS Infiltrates Comic-Con (13:40, HD) finishes the extras with a panel at last year's San Diego Comic-Con.
Archer is spun comic gold, and with Venture Bros on another of its patented long-term production periods, it might be the funniest thing on television right now. The show itself comes highly recommend, though its general look and sound don't exactly require a Blu-ray copy over a DVD. The 1080p video looks very good, and the unambitous soundscape is sharp and plenty loud, but not necessary for enjoyment by any means. The extras are brief, but entertaining.

I absolutely love this show. Adam Reed's shows seem to get more grounded as they go along, without any loss in personality or humor, and it is awesome.

This definitely is one of my favourite shows. It has a lot of repeat value, so buying it is a no-brainer.

Journalists are trained to use language in a certain way. We tend to shoot for the jugular � for small, descriptive words that convey precisely what we intend.
Unlike law enforcement professionals � cops, in our parlance � we say car instead of motor vehicle. We eschew ponderous lawyerly prose for simpler phrases. We like to get to the point.
On Thursday, in a column about heroin addiction, I referred to the addict I interviewed as a "junkie." I didn't give the term a second thought, and I highly doubt that the subject of the piece cared one whit.
But other people did, and it's a reminder that words wound in our increasingly sensitive society.
"As a parent/aunt/ex-wife of a heroin addict I respectively ask that you don't refer to these people as junkies," wrote Main South Citizen, on our website. "It is a negative name (and our families) are trying to support them through their addiction and disease ... The term 'junkie' hurts us all."
Another reader said she was "disgusted" by my use of the term.
"They are human beings that have a substance abuse issue ... Now, you on the other hand I WILL NOT call a human being because clearly you have NO compassion ..."
Granted, even addressing this topic is a no-win undertaking. Many folks brook no sympathy for heroin addicts and are likely at this very moment screaming at their newspaper or computer screen that the world has gone mad if we can't call an addict a junkie.
Are they right?
Opinion was somewhat divided in our newsroom. Most of the reporters and editors I polled said they had no problem with the word junkie, especially in a newspaper column, where we're allowed more leeway to use casual language. Several said that the tone of the column was sympathetic to its subjects, and that the word was proper within the context of describing a man who didn't care who knew he was an addict.
Only one reporter said he wouldn't use the word because he considers it pejorative, although he's used it in the past. But he noted that language and sensibilities evolve.
Dr. Eric Garcia, who I quoted in the column, said he thought the article struck the proper tone. Only when I asked about the word 'junkie' did he address his feelings.
"I don't like defining terms," he said. "People who are addicted aren't necessarily what everyone pictures. We're experiencing this revelation that addiction isn't just for the inner city anymore. Addiction is linked to brain chemistry and biological elements, rather than a moral issue of weakness of character. That word brings it up ... I don't like the word prostitute, either."
"What would you call a prostitute?"
"A woman who prostitutes."
As much as I respect Garcia, I think that's a bridge too far.
"You might say it's semantics," he continued. "But it's important in terms of perception."
Ironically, feedback from heroin addicts indicated they had no problem referring to themselves as junkies. In an email, one woman wrote: "I just wanted to thank you for writing about people who use and not making us seem like monsters ... I'm educated and moral and addicted and terrified. I've been through rehab twice... I'm one of those users who is terrified to use but can't stop."
I asked how she felt about the word junkie.
"Personally, I identify with the term and didn't find it offensive, especially in the context that you used it." Likewise, on websites for addicts, numerous heroin users said they actually prefer the word junkie, because the word "addict" implies helplessness.
But Garcia had a sadder reason for addicts' acceptance of the word.
"Shame is such a huge part of the drug culture," he said. "So they call themselves names."

The Great Comic Book Cover Homage Streak: Week 114
It occurs to me that it seems like many comic book covers are homages. Which is fine with me. I have no problem with it. It just made me think, though, how long could I go before I hit a week where NO new comic book was released that had a cover that was an homage to something? Let's find out! Here is an archive of all the cover homages featured in the streak so far!
This week we'll go with Chip Zdarsky's cover for Avengers #38, which is homaging John Buscema's cover for Avengers #57.
One hundred and fourteen weeks down! Will we make it to week one hundred and fifteen?

I try to keep my posts on this site to a minimum, I'd I tend to not be good enough to offer my opinion, or I feel that I haven't looked hard enough on the net to ask. well, I can't find anything and figured, it can't hurt, can it.
I'm trying to proxy a telnet connection to mask my IP. I haven't had much success, I've looked up some information on tunneling, but can't seem to get the server to keepalive, & then forward me to my target. I'm not trying to do anything bad, I just want to play a game with my brother online, & we asked the admin if we could both log on from our lan, but the closed minded person said "If you log on with the same IP, you are multiplaying, you'll be sitebanned." I don't think it supports SSH or I'd try that, or if it supported MCCP(Mud Cleint Compression Protocol) I'd just set my MCCP server up at school or something. If anyone know's where I can find info on proxying my telnet connection or some other way to mask my IP I'd very much appriciate it.

April 7, 2000
Stockton, Calif. - Gabe Neboyia (3-5) went eight strong innings to help UC Santa Barbara take game one of a three game Big West Conference series at the University of the Pacific, 10-7. The Gauchos improve their record to 16-14 overall and 6-4 in the Big West. With the loss, the Tigers drop to 18-14 overall and 1-9 in the Big West.
The Gauchos opened the game with a run in the first, but Pacific answered with two runs in their half of the first. With four runs in the fourth and two more in the fifth, UCSB increased its lead to 7-2.
Pacific, however, would not go away as they matched the Gauchos with two runs of their own in the fifth. The Gauchos were silent for the next two innings, but in the eighth inning, they scored a single run, and then took their largest lead of the game in the ninth when they scored two more runs, making it 10-4.
Pacific gave the Gauchos a scare when they loaded the bases in the ninth after scoring three runs. This brought the winning run to the plate, but Jim Bullard who entered the game in the ninth with no outs, finished the deal.
Bullard allowed two hits and one run while striking out one in one full inning of relief.
Offensively, every Gaucho batter collected at least one hit. Jeff Carter, Chad Peshke, Mike Kolbach, Donovan Warrecker, Jon Stephens, Jeff Bannon, and R.J. Smith all had two hits apiece. Andy Campanella had the big day for the Gaucho offense with a 3-for-5 performance with two doubles and two runs scored.
The same two teams play the same time (1:00 p.m.) and the same place (Stockton's Billy Hebert Field) tomorrow and then finish the series on Sunday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A futuristic drama from producer-writer J.J. Abrams of "Lost" and the "Star Trek" movie franchise and a comedy with Andy Samberg of "Saturday Night Live" fame as a carefree police detective will be on Fox's new schedule, the network said.
Four new dramas and five comedies were announced Wednesday for the 2013-14 season by Fox, which got a jump on network presentations to advertisers set for next week in New York.
The Abrams-produced drama, with the working title "Almost Human," was described by Fox as an "action-packed" police series set 35 years in the future, when officers are teamed with human-like androids. The cast will include Karl Urban, Michael Ealy and Lili Taylor.
Greg Kinnear will take on his first continuing broadcast series role in "Rake," a legal drama based on a hit Australian series of the same name, Fox said. The actor, whose movie credits include "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Baby Mama," starred in the cable miniseries "The Kennedys."
Sam Raimi ("Oz the Great and Powerful" and the "Spider-Man" franchise) directed and was an executive producer on the "Rake" pilot.
"Gang Related," about a gang task force in Los Angeles confronting the city's most dangerous criminals, stars Terry O'Quinn ("Lost") as the task force's leader, and rapper-producer RZA, founder of the Wu-Tang Clan, and Ramon Rodriguez as members.
Brian Grazer of "24" and the film "A Beautiful Mind" is an executive producer.
"Sleepy Hollow," the fourth drama announced by Fox, is described as an action-adventure retelling of Washington Irving's classic 19th-century tale, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."
Timid schoolmaster Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) is resurrected 250 years in the future and discovers he must save the world from destruction, with a police officer (Nicole Beharie) as his partner.
The Samberg comedy, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," which also stars Andre Braugher (Homicide: Life on the Street," ''Men of a Certain Age") is about a freewheeling detective who gets a by-the-book boss who's intent on making him into an adult, Fox said.
Other new sitcoms set for Fox's coming season:
"Dads," from Seth McFarlane ("Family Guy," the movie "Ted" and a recent stint as Oscar host), stars Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi as best friends whose lives are disrupted by their new roommates, their dads (Martin Mull, Peter Riegert).
"Enlisted," described by Fox as an "irreverent and heartfelt" comedy set on a Florida Army base, is about three brothers getting to know each other and the misfits around them on the base.
"Us & Them," based on the British hit "Gavin and Stacey," stars Jason Ritter ("Parenthood") and Alexis Bledel ("The Gilmore Girls") as a young couple who find their relationship complicated by family and friends.
"Surviving Jack," based on Justin Halpern's semi-autobiographical book, is set in 1990s Southern California and stars Christopher Meloni ("Law & Order: Special Victims Unit") in a coming-of-age story involving a man and his son.

|Circle of poison - Pesticides and People in a Hungry World (Food First, 1981)
THIS BOOK documents a scandal of global proportions - the export of banned pesticides from the industrial countries to the third world. Massive advertising campaigns by multinational pesticide corporations - Dow, Shell, Chevron - have turned the third world into not only a booming growth market for pesticides, but also a dumping ground. Dozens of pesticides too dangerous for unrestricted use in the United States are shipped to underdeveloped countries. There, lack of regulation, illiteracy, and repressive working conditions can turn even a "safe" pesticide into a deadly weapon.
According to the World Health Organization, someone in the underdeveloped countries is poisoned by pesticides every minute.
But we are victims too. Pesticide exports create a circle of poison, disabling workers in American chemical plants and later returning to us in the food we import. Drinking a morning coffee or enjoying a luncheon salad, the American consumer is eating pesticides banned or restricted in the United States, but legally shipped to the third world. The United States is among the world's top food importers and 10 percent of our imported food is officially rated as contaminated. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is supposed to protect us from such hazards, during one 15-month period, the General Accounting Office (GAO) discovered that half of all the imported food identified by the FDA as pesticide-contaminated was marketed without any warning to consumers or penalty to importers.
At least 25 percent of U.S. pesticide exports are products that are banned, heavily restricted, or have never been registered for se here. 4 Many have not been independently evaluated for their impacts on human health or the environment. Other pesticides are familiar poisons, widely known to cause cancer, birth defects and genetic mutations. Yet, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act explicitly states that banned or unregistered pesticides are legal for export.
In this book we concentrate on hazardous pesticides which are either banned, heavily restricted in their use, or under regulatory review in the United States. Some, such as DDT, are banned for any use in the United States; others, such as 2,4-D or toxaphene, are still widely used here but only for certain usages. (Table 1, on page 79, lists the status of hazardous pesticides which are prohibited, restricted, under review, or unrestricted in the United States.) As we will discuss, even "safe" pesticides which are unrestricted in the United States may have much more damaging effects on people and the environment when used under more brutal conditions in the third world.
In the United States, a mere dozen multinational corporations dominate the $7-billion-a-year pesticide market. Many are conglomerates with major sales in oil, petrochemicals, plastics, drugs and mining.
The list of companies selling hazardous pesticides to the third world reads like a Who's Who of the $350-billionper-year chemical industry: Dow, Shell, Stauffer, Chevron, Ciba-Geigy, Rohm & Haas, Hoechst, Bayer, Monsanto, ICI, Dupont, Hercules, Hooker, Velsicol, Allied, Union Carbide, and many others. (See Table One.)
Tens of thousands of pounds of DBCP, heptachlor, chlordane, BHC, lindane, 2,4,5-T and DDT are allowed to be exported each year from the United States, even though they are considered too dangerous for unrestricted domestic use.
"You need to point out to the world," Dr. Harold Hubbard of the U.N.'s Pan American Health Organization told us, "that there is absolutely no control over the manufacture, the transportation, the storage, the record-keeping - the entire distribution of this stuff. These very toxic pesticides are being thrown all over the world and there's no control over any of it!"
Not only do the chemical corporations manufacture hazardous pesticides, but their subsidiaries in the third world import and distribute them. (See Table One.)
· Ortho: In Costa Rica, Ortho is the main importer of seven banned or heavily restricted U.S. pesticides - DDT, aldrin, dieldrin, heptachlor, chlordane, endrin, and BHC. Ortho is a division of Chevron Chemical Company, an arm of Standard Oil of California. (See Appendix B.)
· Shell, Velsicol, Bayer, American Cyanamid, Hercules and Monsanto: In Ecuador these corporations are the main importers of pesticides banned or restricted in the United States - aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, kepone, and mirex.
· Bayer and Pfizer: In the Philippines, these multinationals import methyl parathion and malathion respectively; " neither is banned but both are extremely hazardous.
The Ministry of Agriculture of Colombia registers 14 multinationals which import practically all the pesticides banned by the United States since 1970. (See Appendix C.) And in the Philippines, the giant food conglomerate Castle & Cooke (Dole brand) imports banned DBCP for banana and pineapple operations there.
Pesticides: a pound per person
WORLDWIDE pesticide sales are exploding. The amount of pesticides exported from the U.S. has almost doubled over the last 15 years. The industry now produces four billion pounds of pesticides each year - more than one pound for every person on earth. Almost all are produced in the industrial countries, but 20 percent are exported to the third world.
And the percentage exported is likely to increase rapidly: The GAO predicts that during the decade ending in 1984, the use of pesticides in Africa, for example, will more than quintuple. As the U.S. pesticide market is "approaching saturation . . . U.S. pesticide producers have been directing their attention toward the export potential . . . exports have almost doubled since 1965 and currently account for 30 percent of total domestic pesticide production," the trade publication Chemical Economics Newsletter noted.
Corporate executives justify the pesticide explosion with what sounds like a reasonable explanation: the hungry world needs our pesticides in its fight against famine. But their words ring hollow: in third world fields most pesticides are applied to luxury, export crops, not to food staples the local people will eat. Instead of helping the poor to eat better, technology is overexposing them to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects, sterility and nerve damage.
"Blind" schedules, not "as needed"
BUT THE CRISIS is not just the export of banned pesticides. A key problem in both the industrial countries and the third world is the massive overuse of pesticides resulting from their indiscriminate application. Pesticides are routinely applied according to schedules preset by the corporate sellers, not measured in precise response to actual pest threats in a specific field. By conservative estimate, U.S. farmers could cut insecticide use by 35 to 50 percent with no effect on crop production, simply by treating only when necessary rather than by schedule. In Central America, researchers calculate that pesticide use, especially parathion, is 40 percent higher than necessary to achieve optimal profits.
In the United States the result of pesticide overuse is the unnecessary poisoning of farmworkers and farmers - about 14,000 a year according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). But if pesticides are not used safely here - where most people can read warning labels, where a huge government agency (the EPA) oversees pesticide regulation, and where farmworker unions are fighting to protect the health of their members - can we expect these poisons to be used safely in the third world ?
An inappropriate technology
TN THIRD WORLD countries one or two officials often 1 carry responsibility equivalent to that of the entire U. S. EPA. Workers are seldom told how the pesticides could hurt them. Most cannot read. And even if they could, labels on banned pesticides often do not carry the warnings required in the United States. Frequently repacked or simply scooped out into old cans, deadly pesticides are often handled like harmless white powder by peasants who have little experience with manmade poisons.
But perhaps even more critical is this question: can pesticides - poisons, by definition - be used safely in societies where workers have no right to organize, no right to strike, no right to refuse to carry the pesticides into the fields? In the Philippines, for example, at least one plantation owner has reportedly sprayed pesticides on workers trying to organize a strike. 22 And, in Central America, says entomologist Lou Falcon, who has worked there for many years, "The people who work in the fields are treated like half-humans, slaves really. When an airplane flies over to spray, they can leave if they want to. But they won't be paid their seven cents a day or whatever. They often live in huts in the middle of the field, so their homes, their children, and their food all get contaminated."
Yet the President's Hazardous Substances Export Policy Task Force predicts that the export of banned pesticides is likely to increase as manufacturers unload these products on countries hooked on the ag-chemical habit. "Continued new discoveries of carcinogenic and other damaging effects of many substances are probable over the next few years," predicts the task force. "In some cases, certain firms may be left with stocks of materials which can no longer be sold in the United States, and the incentive to recover some of their investment by selling the product abroad may be considerable."
The genetic boomerang
THE PESTICIDE EXPLOSION also has a second built-in 1 boomerang. Besides the widespread contamination of imported food, the overuse of hazardous pesticides has created a global race of insect pests that are resistant to pesticides. The number of pesticide-resistant insect species doubled in just 12 years - from 182 in 1965 to 364 in 1977, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. So more and more pesticides - including new, more potent ones - are needed every year just to maintain present yields.
A circle of victims
BUT ENORMOUS DAMAGE is done even before the pesticides leave American shores. At Occidental's DBCP plant in Lathrop, California, workers discovered too late that they were handling a product which made them sterile. Elsewhere in the United States, worker exposure to the pesticides Kepone and Phosvel resulted in terrible physical and mental damage.
As part of our investigation into the "circle of poison," we looked at these examples of how the manufacture of hazardous pesticides affects American workers. Since companies are allowed to produce pesticides for export without providing health or safety data, there is no way to be sure they are not poisoning their own workers in the process. In fact there is abundant evidence that workers in the industrial countries are indeed suffering from their employers' booming export sales.
We talked with West Coast pesticide workers who complained of inadequate protection - and information - on the job. Even after two hot showers, one group explained, their hands still carried enough toxic residue of an unregistered pesticide that, when they stuck a finger in a fish bowl, the goldfish died.
These workers in pesticide manufacturing plants are the very first victims in the circle of poison. Add to them all the people who load and unload the chemicals into and out of trucks, Brains, ships and airplanes; and chose who have to clean up the toxic spills which inevitably occur. Then the total number of potential American victims of hazardous pesticide exports becomes very large. In addition, of course, there are the victims whose story is told in this book - third world peasants, workers and consumers - as well as everyone else in the world who eats food contaminated with pesticide residues. We complete the circle of victims.
To uncover the story in this book we have had to overcome powerful obstacles. The pesticide industry is a secretive one. The Environmental Protection Agency guards industry production data from the public, press and even other government agencies. The information made available often seems to defy meaningful interpretation.
We filed over 50 requests under the Freedom of Information Act in order to penetrate the industry's "trade secrets" sanctuary inside the EPA and other agencies. In assembling hundreds of tiny pieces of the puzzle, we studied trade publications and overseas magazines and newspapers for evidence of hazardous pesticide sales. In addition, we obtained import figures from a number of third world countries. Finally, we interviewed hundreds of people in industry, government, unions, environmental groups and international organizations. We corresponded with farmers, consumers and environmental groups in the third world.
The story told here is intended not merely to shock and to outrage. Its purpose is to mobilize concerned people everywhere to halt the needless suffering caused by pesticides' circle of poison.

It seems to me that the whole brouhaha is about frustration that the game of gotcha played by the GOP produced no results because less partisan people could see it was a chickensh*t move to try to profit off of the deaths of Americans at Benghazi.
The GOP even thinks the guy that made the blasphemous movie is some kind of hero, even though his acts did cause a lot of trouble for our country. And, the GOP is also very unrealisitc about how it would be to be in the command center when there are riots in several muslim countries that were, in fact, prompted by the blasphemous film. Of course, the fact that there were riots going on all over the place could have caused some confusion. And, until the guys who did the attack in Lybia are arrested and prosecuted and confess to something different, nobody can say that the decision to attack at that moment was not influenced by the blasphemous film and the riots that were occurring in several muslim countries that day.

I would like to see a write up of what specifically they had in terms of weapons, what the mob had, etc etc.
I wonder what the defending side's chances would have been if they'd had some equipment and training about how to mount resistance.
I know we cant trust the Obama regime to provide us with even basic information we can believe is truthful on this affair, but 20 or so people could hold out against a mob long enough for help to have arrived (provided the white house doesnt call them off of course...)
If they are performing high risk duties like arms smuggling in a high risk area like a country where the government just collapsed, you think they could have ordered an extra case of carbines for them or whatever.

The attack at the Annex was repelled for several hours, until the Lybian government militia allies arrived to facilitate the safe evacuation of everyone except for the two Ex-Navy Seal CIA contractors who were killed by mortar rounds while repelling the attack on the Annex.
That was the plan for security. The Ambassador knew that. The CIA security people knew that. This Deputy Ambassador Hicks likes to go on tv and to Congress and say that he is so surprised that was the plan when he really means is that he thinks it should not have been the plan, but he gets away with that because the press and politicians really can't say out loud the fact that Ambassador Stevens and the CIA security detail had the responsibility to protect the Americans in Lybia with full knowledge of the security situation and the planned response to attacks. It was their job to retreat to a safer area if they knew or thought they were not adequately protected.
The Ambassador is responsible for the safety of his people in country. The fact that this Ambassador Stevens who had a tremendous record of service to our country got caught and killed and one of his State Dept. people got killed and two ex-Navy Seal CIA contractors got killed indicates that sometimes terrorists kill Americans.
You act like some post-mortem is needed to determine that the plan to save the day was not executed. The security plan was executed. The people involved knew the plan. And if the people involved knew that an attack was coming, they would have evacuated Benghazi before 4 Americans got killed.
Ambassador Stevens was not in Benghazi to take Hamburger Hill or Mount Siribachi. If he knew something was coming he could have ordered evacuation and requested support according to the plan in place with CIA and the Lybian government and everybody would have said good call.

Even if that wouldn't have happened. They may have run out of ammo & been over run. Either way, nobody cared. Vegas was the only option on that night.

Lara Logan Apologizes For Botched '60 Minutes' Benghazi Report, Says Show Will Issue Correction
In a humiliating retreat from a piece she had staunchly defended, "60 Minutes" correspondent Lara Logan admitted on Friday morning that she and the news magazine had made a "mistake" in their reporting of a controversial story about the Benghazi attacks. She apologized to viewers and said "60 Minutes" will issue a correction about the reliability of one of her key sources, security contractor Dylan Davies, on its next program.
"We were wrong to put him on air," she said, adding, "We will apologize to our viewers and we will correct the record on our broadcast on Sunday night."
It emerged on Thursday that Davies, who gave Logan a hair-raising, detailed account of his actions during the 2012 attack, had previously told the FBI that he hadn't even gone to the site where it took place. This was the second occasion where Davies had been recorded as saying that he wasn't at the scene of the crime. He had already admitted to doing so once, but CBS and Logan had firmly backed him, saying that he had lied to his employer to protect himself.
Lying to the FBI, however, is a different matter, and "60 Minutes" pulled the report and said it was "reviewing" the new information to determine whether it had been misled.
That review led to Logan's apology on Friday morning.
"The most important thing to every person at '60 Minutes' is the truth, and today the truth is that we made a mistake," she said, calling it a very "disappointing" situation.
Logan said that the emergence of the FBI was "the moment for us when we realized that we no longer had confidence in our source." She said that the show had taken the vetting of Davies "very seriously," but that he had "misled" everyone.
"CBS This Morning" host Norah O'Donnell asked Logan, "Why would you stand by this report after Dylan Davies admitted lying to his own employer?" Logan said that Davies had always portrayed that lie as part of a patriotic, selfless desire to help his fellow security workers, even though he was not supposed to be at the compound.
CBS has been heavily criticized for its handling of the controversy. HuffPost's Michael Calderone summed up the network's actions in a tweet on Friday morning:
That rabbit is crazy; I'm Brian Waters!
Kotter: "You are lucky I'm truly not the vindictive or psycho type...I'd be careful from now on, and I'd just back the hell off if I were you....otherwise, the Mizzou "extension office" life might get exciting"
Kotter: "You're just gay. G-A-Y. Gay."

CBS is going to retract the story now. The dude says he was there but told his company he wasnt there. Gets a book deal and all of a sudden he not only was there but he actually met the ambassador.
Used his cell phone that night at the embassy. The company has your cell phone dumb shit. They know where that phone was on that night.
Lieing to make money off a book deal is a really low move that should result in jail time.

Logan's been a shill her entire career. It's not surprising she finally overstepped her bounds; she's been trying to do it for years.
"When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.' When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.--Abraham Lincoln

'We were wrong': CBS's Lara Logan apologizes for Benghazi report
By David Simpson, CNN
updated 2:26 PM EST, Fri November 8, 2013(CNN) -- CBS correspondent Lara Logan apologized Friday and said the network was "wrong" for a "60 Minutes" report that raised questions about the Obama administration's response to last year's attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. The assault left four Americans dead, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
"In this case, we were wrong. We made a mistake," she said on "CBS This Morning." "That's disappointing for any journalist. It's very disappointing for me."
A primary source for the "60 Minutes" report on October 27 was a security contractor using the pseudonym "Morgan Jones," later identified as Dylan Davies. Davies told CBS he was able to reach the Benghazi compound on the night of September 11, 2012, scale a wall and even fight off a militant.
That story cast doubt on whether the Obama administration sent all possible help to try to save Stevens and his three colleagues. The "60 Minutes" story was cited by congressional Republicans who have demanded to know why a military rescue was not attempted.
Benghazi attack timeline
Logan responded Friday to questions from CBS's Norah O'Donnell, who pressed her for details about Davies.
"What we know now is, he told the FBI a different story to what he told us," Logan said. "That was the moment for us when we realized that we no longer had confidence in our source and we were wrong to put him on air, and we apologize to our viewers."
Logan was also asked about how CBS vetted Davies and his story.
"We verified him, confirmed who he was, that he was working for the State Department at the time, that he was in Benghazi at the special mission compound the night of the attack," Logan said. "He showed us -- he gave us access to communications he had with U.S. government officials."
In a new book, "Jones" told the same story he told CBS. He also said he acted in violation of his employer's orders to stay away from the compound.
Logan said CBS has tried to contact Davies but has not heard from him.
Congressman: Benghazi questions need answers
The apology comes a day after CBS issued a statement saying, "60 Minutes has learned of new information that undercuts the account told to us by Morgan Jones of his actions on the night of the attack on the Benghazi compound. We are currently looking into this serious matter to determine if he misled us, and if so, we will make a correction."
A U.S. official told CNN on Thursday that there were discrepancies between the contractor's accounts to the FBI and CBS, although the official did not specify them.
A second U.S. official told CNN the same thing Friday.
The New York Times, citing two senior government officials, reported Thursday that the contractor told the FBI he did not go the Benghazi compound on the night of the attack.
When Logan was asked Friday why CBS was willing to stand by its report after Davies lied to his employer, she said, "because he was very upfront about it; that was part of his story."
Incident report raised questions
The CBS story first came into question because of an incident report filed by the contractor's employer, the Blue Mountain security company. The incident report, obtained by CNN and first reported in The Washington Post, said the contractor never reached the Benghazi compound.
The incident report also revealed the real name of "Morgan Jones" to be Dylan Davies.
CBS initially stood by the story after the incident report came to light. Davies said he never saw the incident report. But he said it matched a false account he gave his Blue Mountain supervisor to cover up that he had disobeyed the supervisor's order not to go to the compound.
In a statement to CNN this week, Davies said, "The account in my book is consistent with what I gave to the FBI and U.S. authorities about what happened in Benghazi."
CIA operatives to testify at classified Benghazi hearing
His co-author, Damien Lewis, also told CNN this week that Jones never wavered in his story.
"He's been consistent in the story from the word go," Lewis said. "Not only that, he's the kind of guy who downplays his role."
Reached Friday after CBS's apology, Lewis said he would have nothing more to say until Davies comments.
Jennifer Robinson, a spokeswoman for Threshold Editions, the publisher of Davies' book, issued a statement to CNN saying, "Although we have not seen the FBI report, in light of these revelations we will review the book and take appropriate action with regard to its publication status"
Hearing set for next week
CIA employees are scheduled to testify about the attack at a closed-door congressional hearing next week.
U.S. officials have said Stevens and information officer Sean Smith took refuge behind a heavy metal door at 10:30 p.m. on the night of the attack, about 30 minutes after attackers had breached the walls of the compound. The two were quickly overcome by smoke when attackers set fire to the building.
Also at 10:30 p.m., six security agents left a CIA annex a mile away. The six agents and 16 Libyan security officials regained control of the compound.
With the help of a rescue team that arrived from Tripoli at 1:15 a.m., the agents rescued about 30 Americans and took them to the CIA annex. They also took Stephens and Smith, although their conditions at that time have not been made clear.
At 4 a.m., militants attacked the CIA annex. Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were killed.
CNN's Jim Sciutto, Evan Perez and Elise Labott contributed to this report.

This week was Paris Haute Couture Week, where the famed fashion houses of France show their most extravagant creations. I rounded up the most outstanding hairstyles (and some makeup — I couldn't resist) to give you a report on what's coming. There was a lot of texturized volume, and also a lot of sleek styling — I wonder which trends will make it into magazines and onto celebs? Whichever one wins out, I'm feeling inspired for Fall already.

Japanese children continue to kill themselves at ever earlier ages, the latest case being a 12-year-old girl who apparently opted to hurl herself to her death rather than face the prospect of not handing in her homework on time.
The incident occurred in Kumamoto city, where a 12-year-old girl in the 6th grade was found collapsed outside her home, having apparently thrown herself 7m down from a third floor window.
She survived the fall with severe injuries, but remains comatose in critical condition.
The attempt occurred the day before school recommenced after summer break, and she had just told her family that "I don't want to go back to school as I haven't finished my homework." Police are investigating the case as a possible suicide.
There has been a certain amount of speculation as to just why she might have considered her homework a grave enough matter to kill herself over, assuming it is indeed the real reason she did not want to go back to school.
The school authorities claim she was not being bullied and that no bullying has been reported at their school this year – although this in itself is probably grounds for concern, particularly in light of the record of the nation's schools in such matters.

AUBURN, Ala. -- Statistics.
They are a big part of any football game. Statistics are kept in just about every category imaginable in college football today. A quick look will normally give you a good idea of who controlled a football game and won it.
That wasn't the case Saturday night as the Ole Miss Rebels won just about every statistical category in their Southeastern Conference Western Division battle against Auburn, but the Tigers won the vital statistic of yards rushing, which helped them win the only statistic that mattered --the final score -- 30-22 before a near-capacity crowd of 86,504 at Jordan-Hare Stadium/Pat Dye Field.
Ole Miss (3-2, 1-2 SEC) couldn't overcome a 78-yard interception return for a touchdown by junior defensive back Robenson Therezie and some solid play by junior quarterback Nick Marshall, who led his team to a key divisional win.
The interception return came with Auburn leading 6-3 and 1 minute, 39 seconds left in the opening quarter. Ole Miss in the midst of a 10-play drive that could have helped it tie the game or take the lead with a touchdown. Instead, Therezie took the errant throw from junior quarterback Bo Wallace and increased Auburn's lead to 13-3.
When asked about the interception return and how it affected momentum and his team's rhythm offensively, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said, "It was pretty brutal. It felt like what we were doing then was mixing it up with our run game. Then it gets to a point where you don't feel comfortable doing all of that. They (Auburn) didn't do anything we hadn't prepared for on defense. They just played a little more man than we had seen."
Said Wallace, "It was a miscommunication. I thought he was going to come in, he sat, and that is just how it went. It was a bad throw."
Ole Miss moved the ball well at times between the 30s, but was plagued by a series of self-inflicted mistakes. Auburn received solid play from its defensive front, which featured three freshmen. But the Rebels had six dropped passes, allowed six sacks of Wallace, 17 quarterback hurries, had blown assignments on both the offensive and defensive front, miscommunication on routes, and twice failed to down a punt inside the 5-yard line.
"It is a disappointing loss," Freeze said. "We had our chances. We had three opportunities to score ... three drives where we had the opportunity to take the lead that we didn't. We didn't protect the quarterback. They weren't blitzing. We just lost a lot of one on ones. There were several times where we just got beat off the ball."
Ole Miss also had trouble with Auburn's read option. Marshall rushed for 140 of Auburn's 282 yards and scored two touchdowns to help Auburn take a 27-9 lead with 3:10 left in the third quarter.
"Marshall had a phenomenal first half," Freeze said. "He is an athletic guy and we struggled to contain him at times. I thought we did a better job in the second half on him."
After Marshall staked Auburn to a 27-9 lead with a 5-yard run late in the third quarter, Ole Miss rallied thanks to two Wallace touchdown passes to Donte Moncrief to cut the deficit to 27-22 with 8:29 remaining.
Ole Miss junior safety Cody Prewitt forced a fumble on the first play from scrimmage after the kickoff to give the Rebels the ball at their 40. Three plays later, though, Wallace threw a second interception to end the threat.
Ole Miss had two other opportunities to take the lead, but neither with any field position. Auburn won the field position battle and eventually kicked a 23-yard field goal with 3:02 left to account for the final margin.
The game was the fourth of five road games for Ole Miss to open the season. Freeze admitted the games have taken a toll on his players, but he is confident they will be able to regroup.
"We get to go home now," Freeze said. "The games won't be any easier, but at least they will be played in front of our people."
Ole Miss will play host to six-straight home games, the first of which will be Saturday against reigning Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M.

Murkwood Keys Territory
Situated 500 meters below sea level and well below the rest of Kwandrivia are the Murkwood Keys. The Murkwood Keys are completely surrounded by a waterfall that cascades from the ocean around it. The waters fall down into the Murkwood Keys to create an endless mist that covers all of the canyon making it very damp and humid. Despite being so deep and having so much water pour into it, the canyon does not seem to fill up with water. It is however a very damp place perfect for the many swamps and jungles it hold to thrive and grow. Directly south of the Murkwood Keys is the Geirtex Vortexes a pair of twin whirlpools that keep the Murkwood Keys drained. Where all this water goes after being drained is still a mystery.Topics: 4

Near the Southern tip of the Murkwood Keys, in the Brine mixed by the ocean tides and stagnant swamp waters, stands a spire of rock, large enough to contain a small network of caverns, yet small enough to blend with the natural treeline. It is on this Isle that the Anneptii have come to make their home. Having forged a truce between their brothern in the northern marshes, the Baron of the Anneptii has claimed a spot not too far from them, which as rumor has it, has become untamed...

Moss (LP) [LP]
For the past decade Phish bassist Mike Gordon has been cultivating a growing solo career. With a colossal legion of fans and the utmost reverence from countless fellow artists, he has already carved out a place in music history. His third album, Moss, is uniquely Mike: accessible from a distance but complex and twisted upon further inspection. The album muses on matters of human consciousness and psychology in Mike's trademark "dark yet playful" style. Gordon's vocals shine more than ever, taking the spotlight more than on any of his (or Phish's) past records. In addition to vocals and bass, Gordon also provided the guitar, piano, and drum programming. The album features guest appearances by two of his band mates from Phish: Page McConnell and Jon Fishman.
