Shop owners rely on us to provide exceptional advertising solutions and reliable customer service. We are constantly working to exceed their expectations and deliver the most quality leads possible. But don't take our word for it, here's what some of our customers have to say about us.
If I could leave your organization a review, I would offer only the highest praise. My son signed us up with BimmerShops during our opening just over a year ago. I noticed within the first few months that I was getting one or two new customers or inquiries every month on the free listing. Once I opted into the featured listing, the calls started coming in like crazy. The staff at i85 media has been extremely responsive to all of my needs and very helpful in getting things set up and running smoothly. I truly couldn't ask for any more bang for my advertising buck.Niles Todd, Owner

The actress is photographed looking somber after her DUI arrest
After being arrested for driving under the influence early Friday morning, Amanda Bynes took a solemn mug shot – and looked equally downtrodden after her release from jail.
The actress, 26, was photographed later on Friday wearing a white top, a black jacket, skirt and heels and a pair of dark sunglasses while seated on a bench.
Bynes, 26, was also spotted covering her face as she left the West Hollywood jail, applying makeup and taking a cab to retrieve her car from a tow lot.
RELATED: Amanda Bynes 'Has Been a Little Lost' in Recent Years: Source
PEOPLE has confirmed that Bynes was at L.A.'s Greystone Manor Supperclub Thursday night before her DUI.
She was arrested after she collided with a police car, police confimed to PEOPLE Friday. According to GossipCop (who first broke the story) Bynes was still in custody on Friday morning with bail reportedly set at $5,000.

Game Warden Field Notes
The following items are compiled from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.
- If The Shoe Fits… An Ellis County game warden was travelling along I-35 when he witnessed three male subjects pass what appeared to be a marijuana blunt back and forth to each other as they drove. The warden and a deputy constable pulled the car over and the driver and passengers denied smoking and possessing any drugs. After searching the vehicle, the warden found a bag of marijuana stuffed into a shoe box. The driver was arrested for possession of marijuana.
- Boat Accident Leads to Intoxication Arrest: A Polk County game warden received a call about a boat accident on Lake Livingston. The warden responded to the scene and, after viewing the subject involved, suspected they were intoxicated. After a sobriety test, the subject consented to a blood draw and was booked at the Polk County Jail.
- Something Smells Fishy: A commercial shrimp boat in Aransas Bay was apprehended by an Aransas County game warden, Dewitt County game warden and two cadets for displaying bay plates. After searching the boat, game warden's found approximately 3,000 non-game fish but not a single shrimp. The captain of the boat had bait plates on board, and was advised that he would be given an opportunity to clear things up. The captain decided not to correct anything, so citations were issued and all non-game fish were removed from the live wells and released back into the water.
- Drug Possession on Frio Could Sends Man "Up the River": A Uvalde County game warden and Kinney county game warden teamed up to patrol the Frio River out of Concan in northern Uvalde County. A subject who was checked near the Frio River was found to be in possession of about eight grams of methamphetamine and a digital scale. A second-degree felony charge was filed for possession with intent to distribute.
- Indictment Returned in Deer-Burning Case: In January, a Sabine County game warden issued multiple Class C misdemeanor hunting violations against an individual after finding the burned carcass of a white-tailed deer in the man's backyard. After a lengthy investigation, the subject admitted to burning the deer carcass to avoid getting caught by game wardens. The deer had been shot illegally off a major highway in Sabine County. The warden presented the case to a Sabine County grand jury, which on July 17 indicted the man for tampering with evidence, a state jail felony.

Tamoxifen-induced Cancer?
My sister has breast cancer. She has been on a drug called tamoxifen for about 2 years. She recently started bleeding as if having a period. She had a D&C and biopsy and the results showed she now has a tumor with some cancer cells in the uterus. I am curious about the medication: is it associated with cancer of the uterus?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator responds:
Tamoxifen has been linked to an increased risk of endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial polyps, and endometrial cancers. The majority of the endometrial cancers seen in tamoxifen research studies were discovered in early stages and were slow growing, and therefore highly curable. More recently, researchers have noticed an increased risk for a more aggressive endometrial cancer called uterine sarcoma among women who have taken tamoxifen when compared to women who did not take tamoxifen. It also appears that the risk stays with you even after you stop taking the medication, so gynecologic care is important for women who have taken tamoxifen. Despite these risks, experts agree that the benefits of taking tamoxifen outweigh the risks associated with it.

Digital piracy is coming under increasing pressure from organizations that represent the music and movie industries. Acts like SOPA and PIPA are just the latest in measures to try and curb piracy, as is the takedown of MegaUpload. Just as technology changes over time, there is an evolution of what can be pirated, and it's going to affect many more companies and products than just those providing digital entertainment.
With the advent of 3D printers and the ability to print your own physical objects at home, so a new form of data sharing, and possibly a new form of piracy, is preparing to take off. The Pirate Bay calls it Physibles — copying things created first as digital objects that get turned into physical objects once they are printed.
How could Physibles become a threat to industry? Because as time goes by more real-world objects are first designed and modeled in digital form. Those designs are stored digitally and then fed into a machine — sometimes a printer — for creation. If you have a 3D printer at home, and that design is shared, you no longer need to buy the physical object as you can create it yourself.
At the moment this isn't really significant as far as piracy goes, but what about a decade from now when 3D printers can be built from a kit for little more than the cost of a Raspberry Pi, some servos, and an extruder? And what if The Pirate Bay hosts the digital blueprints for that expensive car part the garage informed you needs buying to fix your car? Do you spend hundreds of dollars on the part, or print it yourself?
Just like pirates today decide to download a movie rather than pay the high theater prices to watch it, pirates of the future will have the option to bypass the cost, and become creators themselves.
The same logic can be applied to many products: why buy the iPad X case when you can download the 3D model someone leaked/stole? Why buy a camera part when it can be printed and glued at home? Not only do you save on the retail price, there's no shipping to worry about other than your base materials, which can be bought in bulk. And if it breaks? You print another for minimal cost. Obviously materials and 3D printer technology limit this to certain types of products, but that list is only going to expand as 3D printers improve, and, crucially, as more commercial products are made with 3D printers.
While this is a new idea (as far as piracy goes, there are already a number of places to share open source designs), The Pirate Bay has already embraced it. You can visit the Physibles area of the site where five downloads are currently listed. I doubt it will stay that way for very long, though. Physible piracy is going to take off in a big way sooner rather than later.

This page documents how to go about getting a KDE module ready for the Great Git Migration of 2010.
The necessary tools are hosted at http://www.gitorious.org/svn2git. To get started do:
git clone git://gitorious.org/svn2git/svn2git.git
git clone git://gitorious.org/svn2git/kde-ruleset.git
This will get you the source code to build svn2git and the KDE ruleset files as they currently exist. Build the svn2git tool before moving on to the next step.
Make sure you have Qt4 installed, then simply issue {{{qmake && make}}} to build the executable called "svn-all-fast-export"
You will need ~60GB (is that correct?) of disk space to get started, as the process requires a copy of the KDE svn database. There is a script that will download this for you (and which can be used to update it periodically using rsync) in kde-ruleset/bin/startSync. By default the startSync script runs rsync in "dry run" mode, so before using it to actually get the svn database edit the startSync script and remove the -n from both rsync lines.
more stuff goes here ...

By NOLAN HICKS and GARY SCHARRER
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott took the state's redistricting battle to the U.S. Supreme Court today, asking for an emergency ruling to stop the implementation of court-drawn interim redistricting maps.
Adding another level of complexity to the complicated legal wrangling, candidates across the state began filing paperwork to run for office Monday in districts determined by the court drawn maps.
Abbott acknowledged in his filing that if the Supreme Court were to side with him, primary elections for Texas House and Senate districts in Texas could be delayed until May, because candidates wouldn't know what districts they're running in.
"Today's appeal emphasizes that no court has, at any time, found anything unlawful about the redistricting maps passed by the Texas Legislature," Abbott said, in a statement that was released by his office. He called the court-drawn maps "judicial activism at its worst."
Democratic lawmakers and minority rights groups involved in the redistricting lawsuits assailed the state's quest for Supreme Court intervention.
"It's the same old tired arguments that have been made by the state of Texas that completely misapply Supreme Court precedent," said Jose Garza, the lead attorney for the Mexican American Legislative Caucus, referencing the San Antonio federal panel's recent denial of the state's request to stay the court drawn maps that slammed the state's lawyers for misinterpreting key case law.
Redistricting trial observers question if Abbott's argument will appeal to Supreme Court justices who rejected similar arguments by Democrats and minority groups against the Tom DeLay-backed redistricting maps in 2004.
"Abbott's not paying for it out of his own pocket, so he's probably figuring 'why the heck not,'" said Michael Li, an elections lawyer who's paid close attention to the redistricting trial. "If this were a private client, they'd probably look at it a little harder."
Li believes that because there are candidates already filing for office, it makes it less likely that the Supreme Court would step in and grant Abbott his stay.
"It's harder to put the genie back in the bottle," he said.
A panel of three federal judges in San Antonio — two of whom were appointed by Republican presidents — had to draw the interim-redistricting maps for the Texas House, Senate and congressional districts because the Legislature's redistricting plans can't legally exist until a federal court in Washington, D.C. certifies that they comply with several aspects of the Voting Rights Act, a process known as "preclearance."
The federal three judge panel in Washington denied the state's effort to have the maps approved without a trial, writing that they believed the state used an improper standard to determine if minority representation would be adversely affected by the Legislature's maps.
Lawyers for the Justice Department told the Washington panel that they believe the Legislature's Texas House and congressional redistricting plans would disenfranchise minority voters.
Nolan Hicks reported from San Antonio; Gary Scharrer reported from Austin.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's press conference in the early morning hours of Paris on Monday was more notable for what it didn't mention than what it did.
Kerry said nearly 1,500 words at the press conference, which followed an hours-long meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Not one of those words was "Crimea."
More and more over the last few days, the U.S. has come to terms with the fact that Crimea, for all intents and purposes, is now a part of Russia.
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday that "Crimea is gone." And for all the bluster from Obama administration officials about Russia's "illegal" annexation of Crimea under international law, it is telling that the tone has shifted sharply over the past week.
"Russia isn't backing down; neither is the West," said Ian Bremmer, the president of Eurasia group. "For now, [the situation is] unsteadily holding at Crimea. The potential for expanded trouble remains very serious.
"The Russian defense minister and foreign minister have both assured the West that there's no intention of a military invasion into East Ukraine. Which translates into Moscow staying put unless there are provocations that require a Russian response (ala what the Kremlin claimed in Crimea). But that's a scenario easily developed by the Kremlin if they wish — given the lack of government and social unease in eastern Ukraine and the ability for local Russians (at the suggestion/incitement of Moscow) to spark violence."
Discussions between the U.S. and Russia over the past few days have focused on what's ahead in Ukraine — not what has already happened. On Friday during a phone call between U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Obama urged Putin to pull back tens of thousands of troops amassed along the Ukrainian border. On Sunday, Kerry told Lavrov to do the same.
In both cases, the focus centered on an obscure "diplomatic solution" to the Ukrainian crisis — one that does not appear to include the return of Crimea to Ukrainian territory.
"The U.S. and Russia have differences of opinion about the events that led to this crisis, but both of us recognize the importance of finding a diplomatic solution and of simultaneously meeting the needs of the Ukrainian people — and that we agreed on tonight," Kerry said.
At the same time, Russia knows this — and it is openly flaunting its grip on Crimea. On Monday, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev flew to Crimea and announced plans to turn the region into a "special economic zone." He made clear Russia has no plans to hand over Crimea.
When Crimea first announced it would hold a referendum on joining Russia, Bremmer said the U.S. would have to come to terms with Russia's takeover of the region. The question still remains, however: How far does Putin want to push?
Thus far, the line from the U.S. hasn't changed. On March 14, after a meeting intended to dissuade Russia from persuing the Crimean referendum, Kerry said the U.S. wanted Ukraine's "sovereignty and territorial integrity respected, as we would ask that to happen for any country."
On Sunday night, with Crimea gone, he said: "The United States and the international community stand in firm support of Ukraine's sovereignty and Ukraine's territorial integrity. We will continue to support the people of Ukraine's right to choose their own future. And I will say that at least tonight Foreign Minister Lavrov indicated that Russia wants to respect the right of Ukrainians to make that choice."

Elliott to Push Hess to Split Up, Shed Both Bakken and Retail Operations
Elliott Management has taken the largest independent stake in energy company Hess Corp. and will argue the company should split itself into three parts, including selling its retail operations.
Hess announced Monday that Elliott had told Hess it was taking a stake and may nominate board members. The company said it hadn't been in contact with the activists, but defended its strategic shift to refocus its operations on exploration and production as well as retail. It had also pointed to recent share gains.
UPDATE: A Hess spokesman replied in an email that it will "carefully review" the material from Elliott.
"We do not understand why it chose to put forward its proposals and announce a slate of director nominees without any attempt to engage in discussions," the statement said. "Hess is already undergoing a significant transformation as part of a multi-year strategy to deliver significant value to all Hess shareholders."
Elliott on Tuesday said the company hasn't gone far enough and laid the blame at the foot of what it called the board's "failure to oversee management and hold it accountable for over a decade of failures." It nominated five members for the company's board.
The investors took a 4% stake, which makes it second only to Chairman and CEO John Hess, and said it was the largest initial stake it has ever taken. They argued if their actions were followed, the stock could be worth as much as $126. Tuesday, the shares were up 5.2% to $65.75 in recent premarket action, which would mark its highest point in nearly 11 months.
Among the suggestions Elliott has are to spin-off the lucrative acreage Hess has in the Bakken Shale of North Dakota, which Elliott says it believes is among the best locations in the Bakken, a hot bed of activity in the oil and gas world.

I've read the other board posts about the canyon, but if anybody has any new insight I'd be much appreciative. Thanks.

Poker Hand Ranking | Poker Hand Ranking PDF
Not sure what poker hand you're holding or how poker hands are ranked?
Not sure what poker hand you're holding or how poker hands are ranked?
See our poker hand ranking chart below of all poker hands ranked from best to worst.
These are standard hand rankings for most poker games and apply to all high-hand poker variations including Texas Hold'em, Omaha and Stud.
You'll find a printable poker hand rankings chart below the hand rankings as well as answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about poker hands and poker hand ranking.
Poker Hands Ranked from Highest to Lowest
|Royal Flush
A straight from a ten to an ace with all five cards of the same suit. In poker all suits are ranked equally.
|Straight Flush
Any straight with all five cards of the same suit.
|Four of a Kind
Any four cards of the same rank. If two players share the same Four of a Kind (on the board), the bigger fifth card (the "kicker") decides who wins the pot.
|Full House
Any three cards of the same rank together with any two cards of the same rank. Our example shows "Aces full of Kings" and it is a bigger full house than "Kings full of Aces."
Any five cards of the same suit (not consecutive). The highest card of the five determines the rank of the flush. Our example shows an Ace-high flush, which is the highest possible.
Any five consecutive cards of different suits. Aces can count as either a high or a low card. Our example shows a five-high straight, which is the lowest possible straight.
|Three of a Kind
Any three cards of the same rank. Our example shows three-of-a-kind Aces, with a King and a Queen as side cards - the best possible three of a kind.
|Two Pair
Any two cards of the same rank together with another two cards of the same rank. Our example shows the best possible two-pair, Aces and Kings. The highest pair of the two determines the rank of the two-pair.
|One Pair
Any two cards of the same rank. Our example shows the best possible one-pair hand.
|High Card
Any hand not in the above-mentioned hands. Our example shows the best possible high-card hand.

Poker Hand Rankings FAQ

Does a straight beat a flush?
No. This is one of the most common misconceptions in poker. In Texas Holdem a flush (five cards of the same suit) always beats a straight (five cards in a numeric sequence). A straight-flush, which is five cards of the same suit in consecutive order, beats both hands.
What poker hand is better -- two pair or three of a kind?
Three-of-a-kind always beats two-pair. The only "made" poker hand that two-pair beats is one pair.
Does "All Reds" or "All Blacks" beat a straight?
"All Reds" or "All Blacks" doesn't beat/mean anything in poker. To make a flush in poker you have to have five cards of the same SUIT. That means five spades, hearts, clubs or diamonds. Having all one color is not a poker hand.
Does it matter if I have higher flush cards?
It does. In No-Limit Hold'em if you have a flush with an ace as the highest card and your opponent has a flush with a king as the high card, you win. The easiest way to understand who wins is to lay out your complete five-card hand and compare it with your opponent's hand. If anyone has a higher card, that person wins (obviously you both share the cards on the board).
Which suit in poker is ranked the highest?
In virtually all poker games, suits don't count. Spades aren't better than hearts, clubs aren't higher than diamonds, etc. If you have the same poker hand as your opponent but in different suits you simply split the pot. This misconception is from other games where suits do matter.
Are Poker Hand Rankings different for other poker games?
Actually, yes. For the main poker variations - Texas Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, Seven-Card Stud, 5-Card Draw - hand rankings are the same. But for split games - Omaha Hi-Lo, Stud Hi-Lo - half of the pot is awarded to the lowest hand. For lowball games like 2-7 Triple Draw and Razz only the lowest hand will win the pot. Straights and flushes don't count in Razz while in 2-7 they actually count against you.
See the proper hand rankings for Razz Poker here.
How are hands ranked in 3-Card Poker?
3-Card Poker is a casino table game and, while it does have the name 'poker' in its title, it isn't exactly the same game. The poker hand rankings used are the same as in standard poker variations with a major exception - straights and flushes are reversed. That means in 3-Card Poker a straight BEATS a flush. See the full rules for 3-Card Poker here.
What do I beat if I have 3 Pairs?
Absolutely nothing. You just use your two highest pairs. There is no such thing as "3-pair" in poker.
Is there a difference between Trips and a Set? Which is better?
Trips and a set are the same hand: Three-of-a-kind. The difference is how you acquire three-of-a-kind. A set is made when your pocket pair hits one card on the board.
Trips are made when you utilize two cards on the board and one in your hand to make three-of-a-kind. Because they are much easier to conceal when betting, sets are generally considered the better hand.
What if there's a straight on the board?
You chop the pot. That's provided that no player has a better hand (flush or higher) or someone has a higher straight using the cards in their hand.
What is a Four-Flush in poker?
A four-flush is when you use four cards of the same suit on the board and one from your hand to complete a flush. It's worth noting this is one of the key differences between No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha. In PLO you have to use two of your cards so you can't have a four-flush.
What if I have the same pair as my opponent?
If both players have the same pair, the highest non-matched cards (the "kicker') are compared to determine the winner. If both players have the same high card, the next highest cards are compared. If both players have the exact same pair AND the exact same kicker cards, the pot is split..
Get Bonus
Can you make a Straight with 4-3-2-A-K?
No. While the ace can make both the lowest straight (A-2-3-4-5) and the highest straight (A-K-Q-J-10) it can't wrap around.
Does my 3-3-3-A-A Full House beat my opponent's 8-8-8-K-K?
Nope. When it comes to full houses the highest of the three-of-a-kinds determines the winner. In the example above the full house with three 8s tops the full house with three 3s.
Who wins with Four-of-a-Kind on the board?
The player with the highest kicker. For instance if the board is 8-8-8-8-5, you have A-K and your opponent has K-Q, you win. (Your best five-card hand is 8-8-8-8-A, his is 8-8-8-8-K).
If the board was 8-8-8-8-A you'd split the pot as the best five-card hand for both of you is 8-8-8-8-A.
What's the difference Between Four-of-a-Kind and "Quads"?
Nothing. They're exactly the same hand.

Good news today for the prospects of seeing more Windows Phone make their way into the important business market. Nokia and Avande have signed a deal to get Microsoft services, Lumia products and expertise into the enterprise.
Avanade is a global business technology solutions and managed services provider. Currently the company is helping a large UK bank replace its current fleet of phones with Windows Phone 8 devices. Read on to find out more.
Nokia has recently stepped up their efforts in promoting Windows Phone 8 devices to business. They have produced some interesting posts and are also engaging in social networking via twitter to get the message across. The aim in clear, their next vector of attack is for the all-important business customer, this deal looks set to help bring a whole package of products and services to help make that happen.
Ian Jordan, executive VC of Sales, Marketing Avanade had the following to comment on the partnership:
"There is a significant gap in the market for a new class of business-focused mobile services and solutions. Avanade and Nokia are working together to fill this gap; integrating Nokia Lumia smartphones built on Windows Phone 8, with business applications such as Microsoft Office, CRM and access to company information to improve collaboration, productivity and sales." -
Unlike some of Microsoft's partners it's clear Nokia can see the potential to take the Windows Phone platform to business. After all the OS comes with first class exchange integration, bitlocker, office mobile and more. In this case it looks as though they will be concentrating on delivering a holistic solution using Microsoft technologies.
Niko Mykkänen, global head of B2B Sales at Nokia had this to say about the deal and the potential it offers:
"The growth in the use of consumer devices at work has created opportunities for businesses, but also vulnerabilities that need to be addressed. Working together, Nokia and Avanade will create business solutions to meet the needs of the enterprise, as well as delivering the exciting user experience which people expect from today's leading smartphones such as Nokia Lumia."
There is no doubt that Windows Phone as a operating system has reached a vital turning point in both perception and acceptance as a viable player. It is now up to Nokia and Microsoft to ensure it reaches into all the places it has so far not touched.
Let us know what you think of this news in the comments below and tell us if you're already using Windows Phone in your business.

Schooling in Egypt vs. Schooling in Uzbekistan
An Egyptian friend reacted to our blog on schooling in Uzbekistan (see here) saying that schools under Mubarak weren't all that different.
When he was 10, five hours a day for months were spent not in the classroom, but preparing a dance show for Suzanne Mubarak's annual visit. This was not an isolated event. There would be such a visit almost every year, and a large chunk of the school year would be spent on this. Not as bad as picking cotton, though probably contributing not that much more to useful knowledge. (For more on Suzanne, see here)
A school visit by Suzanne Mubarak and Laura Bush
Not that things were that much better when they were in the classroom. Key assignments included writing letters to President Mubarak thanking him for all his tireless work for Egypt; designing a logo for Mubarak's campaign in elections (no matter that the elections were already fixed); drawing scenes of loyal Egyptians gathering in the streets out of their love for Mubarak. You get the picture.
You might think things may have changed after Mubarak's fall. And yes they have. Now key assignments include writing letters to the Supreme Council of Armed Forces, thanking them for their tireless work for Egypt. Bonus points are given to those students who emphasize that this tireless work includes defending Egypt against foreign-financed revolutionaries and their puppet masters masquerading as NGOs.

Stabilized electricity prices and the absence of rolling blackouts may have contributed to a reduced interest in distributed generation projects, according to a new study by market research firm Primen.
The study, "Releasing the Potential for Distributed Energy," includes the results of interviews with industrial and commercial businesses that use between 300kW and 10MW of power. Of the 600 companies included in the survey, just 2% are considered strong prospects for grid-alternative on-site generators, a 13% drop from a year ago.
"Senior management simply isn't paying as much attention to energy use now," says Nicholas Lenssen, senior research director of Primen's distributed generation strategic service. "With the economic slowdown, capital spending is constrained and other issues are more top-of-mind for managers."
The research firm does, however, estimate that more than 1,700 "sophisticated energy buyers" that represent 1.6GW of power are strong near-term prospects for distributed generation investment.

Malcolm Kelly caught three of Bradford's TD passes and Reggie Smith returned a fumble for a score as the No. 5 Sooners rolled over Miami 51-13 in their first meeting since the Hurricanes swept three games in the 1980s.
"That didn't matter," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "It makes for a good story, but that's a long time ago."
Bradford completed 19-of-25 passes for 205 yards in his second career start as the Sooners (2-0) evened the all-time series at three games each. All three of Oklahoma's losses came in a three-year span when the Sooners went 33-0 against all opponents except the Hurricanes.
Stoops said he introduced his players to the rivalry's history on Monday, but after that "they're rolling their eyes. That's 20-some years ago. Most of them weren't even born."
Stoops said even he had a hard time going back that far, but he hoped the win was a lift for Sooners fans who had been "storing those hard feelings all those years."
"I can't say I thought a lot about that," said Bradford, who wasn't even two months old when the last Miami-Oklahoma game was played. "I was really trying to play for today."
Oklahoma built a 21-3 first-half lead on Bradford's touchdown passes of 23 and 24 yards to Kelly and Smith's 61-yard return of a Javarris James fumble, the third-longest fumble return in Sooners' history.
Neither starter Kirby Freeman nor backup Kyle Wright could mount enough of a comeback, and Miami (1-1) suffered its most lopsided defeat since a 66-13 loss to Syracuse on Nov. 28, 1998.
"Today wasn't a very good day for the University of Miami," said first-year coach Randy Shannon, who was a linebacker on the Miami teams of the mid-1980s. "The guys have to understand that when you come up to an opponent like the University of Oklahoma, they are a very great team and have a lot of talent just like we have a lot of talent."
Under Freeman's guidance, Miami settled for a field goal after getting a first-and-goal at the 8-yard line following Oklahoma sophomore Derek Shaw's snap over punter Michael Cohen's head. Through seven offensive drives, Freeman completed only two passes for 10 yards and Miami had only one first down.
That's when Shannon made a change.
Wright, who split starts with Freeman last season, led an 18-play, 52-yard scoring drive that was extended by a fake field goal and two pass interference penalties in the end zone. Wright finished it with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Hill to pull Miami within 21-10 before the half.
The Hurricanes had a chance to cut into the deficit even more after Chris Brown fumbled on Oklahoma's opening second-half drive, but again settled for a Francesco Zampogna field goal.
Miami finished with 139 total yards and seven first downs.
"As a team, we want to go out and win every game like everybody else does. But we think on a consistent basis, we can come out and show something to the nation and we'll take each week as a stepping stone," Sooners safety D.J. Wolfe said.
Sparked by Juaquin Iglesias' 43-yard second-half kickoff return, Oklahoma responded immediately on a shortened field and tight end Jermaine Gresham caught Bradford's third touchdown pass. Bradford and Kelly hooked up again for a 30-yard scoring strike, with Kelly making an over-the-shoulder reception, to make it 38-13 early in the fourth quarter. Kelly finished with 102 yards receiving on four catches.
Bradford then added a 9-yard TD pass to fullback Dane Zaslaw to match the school record set by 2003 Heisman winner Jason White and 2000 Heisman runner-up Josh Heupel. Last week, Bradford broke Heupel's record for yards in a half and tied White's mark with 18 straight completions.
"I'm really not surprised," Bradford said. "Knowing the guys that are out there with me, I can't explain it. It's unreal how good those guys out there are."
Following a 79-10 win against North Texas in the opener, Oklahoma is averaging 60 points per game.
"From the beginning, we've known that this offense has a lot of capability. We have a lot of potential," Bradford said. "We know if we go out there and we play hard and we play smart that we definitely have chances to be a great offense."
Wright was 7-for-14 for 65 yards. Freeman, who returned
late in the third quarter, was 3-for-9 for 17 yards.
James and Graig Cooper, who combined for 215 yards
rushing in a 31-3 win against Marshall last week, were
held to 54 yards.

From Sports Illustrated's Stewart Mandel:
"Count me a Sooner believer. Specifically, a Sam Bradford believer. While I figured Oklahoma would handle Miami, I assumed it would be a low-scoring affair, and I assumed the `Canes defense would fluster the Sooners' redshirt freshman quarterback. Instead, Bradford looked like a savvy veteran in OU's stunning 51-13 blowout, recognizing man coverage against stud receiver Malcolm Kelly and hitting him in stride on two first-quarter touchdowns..."

From ESPN's Ivan Maisel:
"The Sooners never trailed, and if not for the 88 percent humidity, they never would have sweated. With an offense of multiple weapons and a defense that limited Miami to 139 total yards, Oklahoma (2-0) suggested that its ranking might be too low. For the second consecutive week, redshirt freshman quarterback Sam Bradford played like a redshirt junior. Bradford completed 19 of 25 passes for 205 yards and five touchdowns, including scoring throws of..."

From CBS SportsLine's Gary Parrish:
"The gray skies opened during Oklahoma's first drive, and the record crowd here at Owen Field changed colors quicker than an audible at the line of scrimmage. Suddenly, a sea of crimson featured little spots of yellow thanks to fans who dealt with the rain by unveiling ponchos and covering up. Too bad Miami couldn't do the same. Because the Hurricanes needed some protection. If not from the rain then certainly from the Sooners..."

Instant Analysis from College Football News:
Whenever the going got tough for Bob Stoops' ballclub, quarterback Sam Bradford was able to drop back and fling the pigskin to an assortment of shifty receivers. The Sooners' vertical pass plays lowered the boom on Randy Shannon's defense, busting open a 21-13 game and leading Oklahoma to a comfortable victory. The Sooners played fast and loose with the football, coughing up turnovers that kept Miami in the game for two and a half quarters...

Game 39 vs. NYK: The one in which the Jazz got their dunk back
Stop the presses. An aggressive, strong, non-slow start from tip-off! The Jazz looked like a completely different team from the get-go, and it felt like the team we've been waiting for all season had finally arrived.
There was a noticeable difference in Millsap, Al, and AK's mentality. If they were within range, they went hard to the hoop for not just dunks, but hammer dunks. The hammers didn't always go down, but it was great (and a relief) to see. For a stretch in the second, Jerry had Memo at the 5 and AK at the 4. I really like that Sap/Al-less lineup. The small ball lineup just flows better and pushes the ball more.
A"ma"'r'e got into foul trouble and played limited minutes in the first half, but Bill Walker excelled in his role as unexpected Jazz opponent All-Star of the night. Jazz Nation–perhaps giddy and lightheaded from seeing the Jazz actually play well at home–decided to start celebrating the blowout win early in the 3rd quarter, and hence, the Jazz were jinxed. The Knicks hit 7 of 9 from three in the 3rd (5 of them by Shawne Williams in a 3:52 span), and the Jazz's 16-point lead was cut down to 2 before the end of the period.
After the starters pissed away the lead, Jerry came out with a lineup of Watson, Price, CJ, AK, and Memo to start the 4th. The results were just fantastic. Much like in the second, they ran, hustled, and pushed the ball. An AK dunk was followed by a CJ layup that was followed by a Memo dunk. They got the lead back into double digits in a little over four minutes, and while the Knicks kept it close the rest of the way, we got a more-than-nice home win at the end of the night.
Tonight, we saw what happens when the Jazz make the extra pass. It showed in the box score with the even scoring (7 players in double digits), and assists (31). They were passing the ball not just around the perimeter, but inside down low. Defense led to transition points, and cutting led to easy buckets. The boys did a great job of not settling for jump shots (54 points in the paint), and no one was trying to do too much. We also saw what happens when AK gets significant minutes at the 4. He was efficient; he was dunking; he was involved and facilitating (7 assists); and he didn't take any 3-point shots (6-10 on the night).
Also of note was that Jerry elected to go with the hot hand–a sporadically hot CJ–down the stretch. He closed the game with a lineup of Deron, Raja, CJ, AK, and Al, and Millsap didn't play in the 4th quarter. (If this was due to Millsap's hip, disregard this entire paragraph).
Final thought: I don't think that all our woes are over. Several players in the post-game attributed the quick start to the Knicks forcing them to come out at a faster tempo, rather than it being something that they consciously tried to do. Still, great win by our now low standards.
Random Stuff, etc.
** By request from Yucca Man:
** Memo said during practice, and reiterated after the game, that the good thing about his back injury is that he's no longer thinking about his leg. "Knock the wood, I'm feeling good now." :) I was so happy for Memo. In all his interviews, you can hear in his voice how badly he wants to be playing. He's always saying, "I just want to play basketball." Tonight, his shots were falling. Even the no-chance-in-hell falling-back fadeaway went down, and he had a dunk and a three as well. It felt good to see him feeling good. Memo also said, regarding AK becoming a U.S. citizen, that he's happy for AK and that he's about to get his Green Card.
** Mike D'Antoni played for Phil Johnson when Phil was with the Kings, and was on the roster the year Phil won Coach of the Year.
** The Jazz scored 30+ in the first quarter for the first time since 12/10 at Orlando (53% shooting and only 2 TOs); 60 in the first half for the first time since 11/29 vs. Milwaukee; 65 points in the first half, which was the most since 11/3 vs. Toronto; and hit 100 by the end of the 3rd.
** Wat Misaka (Utah native and the first Asian-American–and apparently first non-Caucasian–to play in the NBA, i.e. that title does not belong to Jeremy Lin) in the house. And they say there aren't any minorities in Utah. Psh.
** Jerry, post-game: We had guys tonight probably trying to take more charges than we've had all year long. I was happy with that, because we sometimes don't protect the basket.
** ?????
Unintentional Dirty Quote Machines of the Night
** Boler: Millsap, hammered from behind!
** Boler: DWill, using that big body, up and in!
** Matty: I like it when Andrei gets down low. He's so long, he can really do some damage down there.
Yucca Man permalinkJanuary 13, 2011 11:51 pm
Thanks for doing the dunk gif :)
It was even better in person. I don't know if we're all so used to the slow starts and dunkaphobia — but when AK pulled that, we didn't so much as cheer but let out a collective "Holy freaking crap!" It was like we could all tell that this game was going to be different.
RRR permalinkJanuary 14, 2011 12:14 pm
"And they say there aren't any minorities in Utah. Psh."
You have obviously not been briefed as to what a minority is in the USA!
It was nice to have a game played with some effort again. Lets hope tomorrow they do the same.
"He's so long, he can really do some damage down there."
Just way too funny right there!

Swallowing and Thick Liquids
Content Contributor: OncoLink
Last Reviewed: June 8, 2012
My sister was told to have only thick liquids to prevent her from choking since she can't swallow correctly. Wouldn't it be harder to swallow thick things than water or soup?
Patricia Dooley, Associate Director of the Division of Speech Language Pathology at Penn Medicine, responds:
For some patients, based on the cause of the swallowing difficulty, thickened liquids can be easier to swallow because the increased viscosity will slow the liquid transport down. However, this should be determined by a swallowing therapist to make sure that thickened liquids are appropriate.

This Date In Royals History – October 18, 1980
Let's revisit the 1980 World Series one more time for what was undoubtedly the highpoint of that fall classic for the Royals. On a side note, notice this date in 1980 coincided with Game 4 of the World Series and then realize that this year Game 4 will be played in November. I think we've stretched to the breaking point – the LA teams had been get it going or this could be the "Nor'easter" World Series. But I digress…
Saturday, October 18, 1980 and the Royals have a chance to even the World Series at two games apiece. Kansas City sent 20-game winner Dennis Leonard to the mound, but he actually had all the runs he would need before throwing his first pitch.
Willie Wilson started with a single, then was pick-off first but advanced to second on an error charged to pitcher Larry Christenson. After Frank White flew out, the Royals began an extra-base hit barrage that chased the Phillies starter before the first inning was finished. George Brett tripled home Wilson to get Kansas City on the board. Willie Aikens followed with a majestic blast to right field and the Royals were up 3-0. Hal McRae lashed a double and scored on an Amos Otis doubled right behind him. Kansas City had four runs and could have had more as they would leave the bases loaded.
Philadelphia countered with a single run in the second, but Aikens got it right back with a titanic shot in the bottom half of the inning. Aikens was an offensive force for the Royals – this was his second two-HR game of the series. The Phillies plated single runs in the seventh and eighth to close the gap, but Quisenberry was there to pick Leonard up and save the series tying win. The victory set-up a pivotal Game 5 which would be another gut-wrencher for Royals fans, but let's remember instead the euphoria of this great game in Royals History just a short 29 years ago on this date.
Just A Bit More: Willie Aikens was clearly headed for World Series MVP honors should the Royals have been able to pull ahead and win the series. His performance was truly extraordinary; I still believe he holds the distinction of being the only player to have a pair of two home run games in the same World Series (The bat Willie used in Game 4 of the 1980 World Series is on display here at the RHOF – courtesy of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown).
The 1980 World Series was also the very first to be played entirely on artificial surface fields. Another oddity for that series, it was the last World Series match-up of two organizations that did not already have at least one previous World Championship in their history. Not only that, but the previous such pairing was the 1920 World Series between the Cleveland Indians and the Brooklyn Dodgers.
(Curt Nelson, Director – Royals Hall of Fame)

Menards signs on multi-year renewal with Richard Childress Racing
CONCORD, N.C. – Menards is sticking with Richard Childress Racing.
RCR announced the home improvement store signed a multi-year partnership renewal to back the No. 27 Sprint Cup series car driven by Paul Menard.
Menards first signed on with RCR in 2011. Childress said it was great to have Menard back as driver and Slugger Labbe return as crew chief so the program could build on the promise it's shown the past few seasons. Menard drove the car to win in the 2011 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He's tied for 10th in points standings this season.
Menard said he and all his family were happy to continue their relationship and growth with RCR.
Menard will start 22nd in Sunday night's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Red Hat is the first open source software company to generate a billion dollars in annual revenue.
Revenue was $1.13 billion, up 25% from the year earlier, and net income was $146.6 million, up from $107.3 million the year earlier, Red Hat announced in its financial results yesterday for the fiscal year ending February 29.
Passing the $1 billion milestone is "a statement about open source, and the relative ubiquity of open source. Very few companies have been able to reach that mark," CEO Jim Whitehurst said. "It's quite a statement that we've been able to achieve that with a radically different business model."
With a billion or more in annual revenue, Red Hat joins a somewhat elite league of midsized enterprise software companies, such as OpenText and Nuance Communications.
"The billion-dollar figure is a kind of a magic figure for technology companies," said Charles King, chief analyst at Pund-IT. Though an arbitrary milepost, it's a good indicator that the company executives have found a formula not only for success, but for maintaining success.
Perhaps more significantly, Red Hat's success validates the idea that open-source software can form the basis of a viable business model.
"Red Hat's success is a testament to the role it played in bringing Linux to the mainstream, and the continued shift towards open source in the enterprise," said Mark Shuttleworth, founder of fellow Linux distributor Canonical.
When Red Hat held its IPO (Initial Public Offering) in 1999, the idea of making money from open source software was not a proven concept. Although open source software was widely used then by academics and the technically inclined, enterprises were still wary of using the software, citing security fears and the need for holding a vendor accountable when something goes wrong. And investors would ask how a company could make money giving away the source code of its software at no cost.
"Consensus among many in the IT community then was that open source was a goofy, post-hippie kind of thing," King said.
Red Hat's basic business model consists of making the source freely available, and then charging subscription fees for enterprise-grade support. Today that model is copied - albeit on a smaller scale - by a wide range of open source software companies, such as Eucalyptus (for cloud computing software), Alfresco (content management software) and Jaspersoft (business intelligence). Large IT vendors, such as Oracle, IBM and Dell, routinely offer some of their software as open source. Even the world's largest proprietary software vendor, Microsoft, has dipped its toes in the water, releasing some of its ancillary code as open source on its Codeplex repository.
"Today, we're at a place in IT where online collaboration is such a broadly accepted concept," King said."Red Hat is an extremely well-run company, and collaborative development is paying off for everyone in the ecosystem," said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation. The company is one of the largest contributors to the source code of the Linux kernel, he noted. "It is this commitment to collaborative development that is one of the key ingredients to its success."

Controversial comic Tracy Morgan has hit back at women's rights campaigners following fierce criticism of his shows in Australia and calls to boycott the rest of his tour Down Under.
The former "30 Rock" star suffered a mass walk-out during his performance in Melbourne on Saturday night, with fans and critics subsequently complaining about the overly sexual references and explicit content.
Women's rights activists, including Melinda Tankard Reist, who runs female-focused campaign group Collective Shout, branded Morgan's show sexist and called for fans to boycott the rest of his dates.
Morgan took to the stage as planned for his first show at the Regal Theatre in Perth on Monday, and he addressed the controversy directly during his performance.
However, the star remained unrepentant about the scandal, telling the audience, "All I'm trying to do is make people laugh… It's fear. (Tankard Reist) doesn't understand me… I love her anyway."
According to Themusic.com.au, he then aimed a barb at his critics, adding, "Go home and blog some s— 'cause you ain't gettin' any. I don't give a f— what you think."
The star is due to perform a second show at the Perth venue on Tuesday.
