BIG 12

Oklahoma Wrecks Texas Tech

November 24, 2002|From Associated Press

Oklahoma left no doubt about which team is the best in the Big 12 South.

The fourth-ranked Sooners controlled the ball with Quentin Griffin and harassed Kliff Kingsbury with its defense from start to finish in Saturday night's 60-15 victory over 24th-ranked Texas Tech at Norman, Okla.

Griffin ran for 207 yards and three touchdowns -- his seventh consecutive 100-yard game and third 200-yard game of the season -- as Oklahoma (10-1, 6-1 in conference) won the South Division title.

Kingsbury came in averaging 371 yards passing, but he completed only 15 of 35 passes for a season-low 187 yards -- 67 of those on a fourth-quarter touchdown pass. Oklahoma's defense forced two safeties, sacked Kingsbury six times and intercepted two of his passes.

"Everyone's talked for three weeks about how they've scored 50, 60 points, and we hold them to one touchdown, really a meaningless one at the end of the game," Oklahoma Coach Bob Stoops said. "Just another spectacular performance by the defense."

The Sooners finish the regular season next Saturday against Oklahoma State, then play 16th-ranked Colorado for the conference title Dec. 7. Oklahoma beat Colorado, 27-11, on Nov. 2, and the winner of next month's game gets a berth in a bowl championship series game.

Texas Tech (8-5, 5-3) won three successive games to get in position to play for the South title. But the Red Raiders had no answers for Griffin, or Oklahoma's defense, in their worst loss of the season.

"That's the best defense I've seen in four years," Kingsbury said. "They just beat us in all phases of the game."

Oklahoma held Texas Tech to 24 points and nearly 270 yards below its average.

Kingsbury's worst game this season had been a 268-yard effort in a loss to Colorado on Oct. 26. He is 0-3 against Oklahoma since beating them as a freshman in 1999.

The Red Raiders had 12 yards and no first downs in the first quarter. They crossed midfield only once in the first half and were outgained, 263-64.

Griffin's highlight-reel 62-yard touchdown run on the second possession gave Oklahoma a 14-0 lead and made it clear the Red Raiders were in for a long night.

Kingsbury was sacked in the end zone late in the first quarter, making it 16-0. Kejuan Jones scored on a three-yard run midway through the second quarter, then a holding call against Texas Tech in the end zone resulted in another safety and a 25-0 halftime lead.

Brandon Shelby blocked a punt on Texas Tech's first possession of the third quarter and Will Peoples recovered it in the end zone for a 32-0 lead. Two short touchdown runs by Griffin pushed the lead to 46-0 before Vincent Meeks scored for Texas Tech on a 98-yard kickoff return.

"They played with great tempo early," Texas Tech Coach Mike Leach said. "They didn't really have any secrets. We kind of started playing on our heels and stayed on our heels."

No. 10 Kansas State 38, Missouri 0 -- Darren Sproles ran for 116 yards and a 12-yard touchdown, setting school records for yards rushing and all-purpose yards in a season, to lead the Wildcats (10-2, 6-2) at Columbia, Mo. It was the 10th consecutive loss in the series for Missouri (5-7, 2-6), which did not get past midfield until the fourth quarter.

Missouri quarterback Brad Smith, a redshirt freshman, became the second player in NCAA history to pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 in a season. Smith began the game needing one yard rushing to join Clemson's Woody Dantzler, who did it last season. Smith had 30 yards rushing in 13 carries and completed seven of 24 passes for 126 yards.

Oklahoma State 63, Baylor 28 -- Josh Fields threw for four touchdowns and ran for another as Oklahoma State qualified for a bowl game by beating Baylor at Stillwater, Okla. Tatum Bell ran for 106 yards and three touchdowns in 14 carries as the Cowboys (6-5, 4-3) beat the Bears (3-9, 1-7) in Baylor Coach Kevin Steele's final game.

Rashaun Woods caught seven passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns. He set conference and school records for yards receiving in a season and a school mark for catches in a season.

Connecticut 37, Iowa State 20 -- Dan Orlovsky threw three touchdown passes, freshman Terry Caulley rushed for 191 yards and Maurice Lloyd had two interceptions at Ames, Iowa, as Connecticut earned its biggest victory in Division I-A. Connecticut (6-6) scored 27 consecutive points after trailing, 20-10, to stun a team that had been ranked ninth nationally in mid-October.

Iowa State (7-6) lost five of its last six after a 6-1 start. Quarterback Seneca Wallace completed 19 of 44 passes for 216 yards with four interceptions.

Palm Desert Moves Up, Wins Another Title

November 26, 2002|Mike Bresnahan

The gales that ripped through the Claremont Club on Monday were strong, but not as powerful as the winds of change that swept Palm Desert High from its cozy perch in Southern Section Division IV to the more difficult Division II before the girls' tennis season began.

Consider Palm Desert's performance in the Division II championship as the ultimate windbreaker -- a 12-6 victory over defending champion Fullerton Troy that won the school its second Southern Section tennis title in three years.

Top-seeded Palm Desert (21-0) entered with a torrid playoff run and continued to roll by gradually taking apart No. 2-seeded Troy (20-4). The Aztecs took a 4-2 lead after the first round of play and an 8-4 lead after the second round.

Division IV, Division II, Division MCMLXVII? Didn't matter to the Aztecs.

"You take what is given to you," Palm Desert Coach Randy Blalock said. "The girls understood that there was a full-on reorganization going on [with several playoff divisions]."

Said Robyn Baker, Palm Desert's No. 1 singles player: "We never looked at it as moving up to Division II. We looked at it as winning a [Southern Section] championship."

Palm Desert's No. 1 doubles team of Caroline Houston and Brittany Blalock, the coach's daughter, won all three of their sets as the Aztecs won seven of nine sets in doubles play.

Freshman Cosmina Ciobanu was a bright spot for Troy, winning all three of her singles sets.

The State

Senate Panel OKs Bill to Extend Priest Case Deadline

The measure would allow more time to file charges as court settles dispute with diocese.

March 26, 2003|William Lobdell | Times Staff Writer

SACRAMENTO — State legislation that would freeze the statute of limitations before time runs out to prosecute scores of Los Angeles-area Roman Catholic priests accused of sexual abuse got a boost Tuesday when a key Senate committee unanimously endorsed the measure.

The bill, proposed last month by the Los Angeles district attorney's office, would extend the deadline to file criminal charges against clerics until the courts decide whether Cardinal Roger M. Mahony and the priests under investigation have a right to keep church documents private.

Testifying before the Public Safety Committee, L.A. Deputy Dist. Atty. Bill Hodgman said that without the proposed law, "well over 100 investigations" into clergy sexual misconduct could be jeopardized.

State lawmakers are scrambling to get the bill passed before the one-year statute of limitations expires on the first cases, beginning April 8.

The Senate is scheduled to vote Thursday on the bill, which has no formal opposition, and an Assembly committee is expected to hear it next Tuesday. Because it is emergency legislation, the bill needs a two-thirds majority to pass.

The church will not take a position on the bill, an archdiocesan spokesman said.

The proposed legislation would modify a California law that allows prosecutors to file charges against an alleged sexual abuser no matter how old the case, so long as the charges are filed within one year of the victim's reporting the incidents to authorities. The law, passed in 1994, was upheld by the state Supreme Court in 1999.

Mahony's recent attempt to invoke a "prelate privilege" on any communication between bishops and priests created the need for the legislation, prosecutors said. Church officials argue that priest-bishop confidentiality is a foundation of the Catholic religion, and that civil interference in that violates the free exercise of religion.

Without the church's internal documents, many of the investigations remain at a standstill. To file criminal charges in these older cases, there must be corroborative evidence. Law enforcement officials said they believe that resides in the unreleased church documents.

Just in the Nick of Time for Williams' Jayhawks

March 28, 2003|Mike Penner

This just in -- two late additions to the resumes cluttering the desktop of UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero:

Ben Howland: So-called architect of "Pittsburgh Steeler basketball" watches his Pittsburgh Panthers pull a Kordell Stewart in the Sweet 16. Pitt shoots 26.7% from beyond the three-point line, gets outworked underneath the basket and loses to a Marquette team making its second trip to the third round since 1977, 77-74.

Roy Williams: With his team having flown into Anaheim for a West Regional game against Duke and All-American guard Kirk Hinrich having left his jump shot in the overhead bin, Williams outmaneuvers Mike Krzyzewski, aka The Best College Coach Since Wooden, to end his winless streak against the Blue Devils, 69-65.

Williams is in the neighborhood, but Howland, in something of an upset, is available for the first interview.

On a Thursday night when Arizona re-established itself as the favorite to win the NCAA tournament, three of the biggest coaching names in the competition were thrown stress tests, forcing them to adjust on the fly without three of the most influential players in the competition.

In the Midwest Regional at Minneapolis, Kentucky Coach Tubby Smith, with not much of a perimeter game to begin with, watched his leading scorer, Keith Bogans, twist and shout late in the first half, suffering a high-ankle sprain that sidelined him for the remainder of the Wildcats' game against Wisconsin.

Already, the tempo had been bogged down to Wisconsin's liking, and with no Bogans for the game's last 23 1/2 minutes, Kentucky's 25-game winning streak seemed headed to hit a big red wall. The Badgers' bore-'em-til-they-drop strategy had held 20 opponents to fewer than 60 points, with a one-dimensional Kentucky seeming certain to become No. 21.

Sizing up the situation, Smith let the streak and the season ride on the notion that two could play Badger Ball -- and let's keep pounding the ball inside to Marquis Estill.

Estill, a 6-foot-9 center-forward, responded with a career-high 28 points, nearly half of Kentucky's total. The Wildcats broke the 60-point barrier, barely, but defended with enough intensity to win even if they hadn't.

Final score: Kentucky 63, Wisconsin 57.

That figured to set up the anticipated matchup between No. 1-seeded Kentucky and No. 2 Pitt in Saturday's Midwest Regional final.

Some observers, noting Arizona's recent wobbles against UCLA and Gonzaga, went so far as to call a possible Kentucky-Pitt matchup the "real championship final."

That sort of hype is always hazardous, and sure enough, Marquette, reacquainting itself with life this late in the tournament, shot 52% from the field, outrebounded Pittsburgh and its Steel Curtain front line, 24-22, and held off a late Panther charge for the victory.

In a West Regional semifinal, a Duke-Kansas billing that promised so much wound up lumbering across the Pond due to near no-shows by Hinrich and Duke's supposed jump-shot extraordinaire, J.J. Redick.

During the regular season, Hinrich and Redick combined to average more than 32 points a game.

Thursday, they combined to shoot three for 25 from the field, one of 16 from three-point range and totaled seven points.

For once, Williams had more in reserve than Krzyzewski -- and that was the one player Williams was able to wrest away from Krzyzewski in the periodic recruiting tussles that almost always go Duke's way.

By winning that long-ago contest for Nick Collison, Williams was able to win this game. Collison made 14 of 22 shots, grabbed 19 rebounds and finished with 33 points, almost 50% of the Jayhawks' total.

The one that got away from Coach K?

Thursday at the Pond, Williams, with a considerable rub-it-in assist from Collison, made it two.

Jim Irsay, Peyton Manning to discuss quarterback's future after Super Bowl

Colts owner Jim Irsay says Peyton Manning's situation is "a very complicated medical issue." Team will have to pay Manning $28 million by March 8 if they plan to keep him.

February 01, 2012|By Sam Farmer
  • Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay plans to talk to Peyton Manning after the Super Bowl about the quarterback's future with the team.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay plans to talk to Peyton Manning after… (Darron Cummings / Associated…)

Reporting from Indianapolis — Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts, said he plans to sit down with Peyton Manning after the Super Bowl and discuss his future with the franchise but called the quarterback's situation "a very complicated medical issue."

If they plan to keep Manning, the NFL's only four-time most valuable player, the Colts have to pay him $28 million by March 8. They have the No. 1 pick and are in position to select Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. Manning missed the 2011 season recovering from multiple neck surgeries, and reports vary on how far he has come to this point.

"When you try to consult doctors literally worldwide in terms of what are the expectations, what are the dangers, the risks, the aspects of coming back from it, no one can give you a definitive answer," Irsay said Wednesday. "It's one of those things where even some of the doctors said if this came up again that it's going to be something people are going to rely on as trying to have some sort of historic reference medically to look back on. It's very unusual. It's been going on for almost a year."

Irsay said he has watched Manning throw but declined to get into specifics or evaluate what he has seen.

"I've said from the beginning that it is a two-phase medical aspect," the owner said. "It is, can he return to play at a really high level, with what his expectations are? That is the only level that he wants to be. Can he drill it in Foxborough in January when it's 10 degrees outside for 50 yards? Is he going to be back to the Hall of Fame level that he expects to play at? I think the second issue has always been the health and the risk of going back onto the field. So I think there are two separate issues, and they are complicated issues."

Asked if he would be willing to push back the March 8 deadline, Irsay said: "Anything is possible if two parties choose to get together with him. So I don't think that is something that is impossible by any stretch."

Indy bracing

When Manning wanted to talk after the season, he reached out to Bob Kravitz, a highly respected sports columnist for the Indianapolis Star.

It was to Kravitz last week that Manning said, in referring to the Colts' practice complex: "I'm not in a very good place for healing, let's say that. It's not a real good environment down there right now, to say the least. Everybody's walking around on eggshells. I don't recognize our building right now. There's such complete and total change."

Kravitz believes Manning's 14-year run in Indianapolis is at an end, and that the city is slowly coming to grips with that.

"I think we're going through the five stages of grief here just as we did when we heard Peyton was going to be out for the season," he said. "For the longest time, people were in total denial. Now there's some anger, people saying the media's trying to run Peyton Manning out of town, and we're slowly moving into acceptance.

"Financially, bringing back Peyton Manning doesn't make any sense. Competitively, it doesn't make any sense. The Peyton Manning era is done in Indy, and the only thing you root for is, is he going to be healthy enough to play somewhere else? Although there are going to be a lot of people who'd much rather see him retire than go somewhere else."

Invisible man

New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora was fined $20,000 by the NFL on Wednesday, a few hours after he missed a mandatory morning media session.

"I misunderstood the schedule," Umenyiora said in a statement released by the team. "It won't happen again, and I will be at tomorrow's media session and available after the game. I apologize for any inconvenience my absence this morning may have caused."

Shifting into gear

The Giants had the 32nd-ranked rushing game this season, but that's of little comfort to New England nose tackle Vince Wilfork. He knows how teams can change their personality in the postseason.

Besides, when the Giants beat the Patriots earlier this season, New York's Ahmad Bradshaw wasn't playing. Now he is.

Wilfork said the Giants' running game is "probably one of the biggest threats" of Super Bowl XLVI.

"When you have three backs who can run the ball, you get 10 carries apiece from those guys," he said. "That's 30 carries, and [Brandon] Jacobs, [D.J.] Ware and Bradshaw, those are some tough runners. I've faced all of them, and every last one of them is a tough runner.

"I think defensively, for us to be successful, we're going to have to slow it down. If they come out and run the ball and we can't stop them, we're going to have a problem."

Wilfork, a mountain listed at 6 feet 2 and 325 pounds, is plenty athletic too. He's no Blake Griffin, but he can dunk a basketball, which surprises some people.

"People look at me and are like, 'He's a butterball. He can't,' " Wilfork said.

Butterball? To his face? Unlikely.

Summer camp takes entrepreneurship training to a younger crowd

Serial entrepreneur Jeff Solomon, who created and taught the course, said his goal to help teens think big about entrepreneurship stems from his own disillusion with conventional education.

August 16, 2013|By Andrea Chang

With 20 minutes to go before making their high-stakes start-up pitches, the wannabe entrepreneurs were understandably nervous.

In one corner of the room, Marc Pakravan and Robert Davis, who came up with the idea for an online shopping site for men's ties, were struggling to put on their own neckties. A few feet away, Jessica Chan-Ugalde looked exasperated as she chastised her partner for not knowing what a hashtag was.

Meanwhile Neil Serebryany, whose start-up idea Transformo offers language translation through a headset device, was utterly unfazed as he surveyed the last-minute frenzy.

"Boredom envelops me," he said with a wide grin that revealed a mouth full of braces. "I was ready a while ago."

All of them are local high school students who on Thursday completed a one-of-a-kind summer camp for teens hoping to become the next Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos. Instead of a graduation ceremony, the students had to present their original business idea to a panel of investors and tech executives during a mock demo day.

The students said the six-week course, "Entrepreneurship and the Start-up Life Cycle — for High School," provided the kind of education that they want but can't get during the regular academic year. Learning opportunities are plentiful for aspiring entrepreneurs during and after college, but entrepreneurial thinking is rarely taught in high schools, they say.

"I don't think it's talked about at school because people don't grasp what it means," said Davis, 16, a junior at Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach. "People who are entrepreneurs, like Steve Jobs, they just see them as CEOs. They don't realize what steps they took to get to the spot they are today."

Serial entrepreneur Jeff Solomon, who created and taught the course, doesn't want that to deter kids who are interested in one day creating their own businesses. A well-known figure in L.A.'s growing tech scene, he's trying to change the perception that starting a company is something that people stumble upon later in life or learn about while picking up their MBAs.

As executive director and co-founder of tech accelerator Amplify.LA, Solomon has been working closely with first-time start-up founders for years. But all of Amplify's recruits are adults — most are in their 20s — and Solomon wanted to target would-be entrepreneurs when they're even younger.

"At the high school level, you're far enough along to have an intelligent conversation, but you're not far enough along where you're jaded and stuck and fixed in your ways," he said one day before class, held at Amplify's co-working space in Venice. "You're very moldable still. It's like the perfect spot."

His goal to help teens think big about entrepreneurship stems from his own disillusion with conventional education. Solomon said he found high school dull and uninspiring, with lessons focused on thinking inside the box. He had the second-lowest GPA in his class, didn't do well on his SATs and got accepted to just one of the 17 colleges he applied to, Arizona State.

"My experience with education is that it didn't really work that well for me," he told the teens on the first day of class. "I turned out successful — I had three companies: One sold, one is doing really well, one totally failed — but I don't look back on high school and say, 'That's why.'"

These days, entrepreneurs are getting started even earlier and many don't follow the typical classroom-to-college-to-cubicle route. Zuckerberg and Jobs famously dropped out of college. This year, 17-year-old Nick D'Aloisio made headlines when he sold his news-reading app, Summly, to Yahoo Inc. for a reported $30 million.

Harnessing young talent in L.A. is a growing priority for many of the region's top venture capitalists and entrepreneurs. Solomon's course is just one of several new youth-oriented tech initiatives being pushed by entrepreneurs.

Digital LA, a tech and entertainment organization, held student start-up pitches at its recent Silicon Beach Fest and co-hosted a panel at UCLA for students interested in working at a start-up. Another group has raised more than $100,000 to create a science- and tech-oriented fair for kids to be held in L.A. next year.

And local venture capital firm Upfront Ventures this year launched a program to help connect college students with internships at technology companies in the area. Upfront placed 26 college students during the spring semester and has more than 200 students signed up for a fall internship, said Steven Dietz, an Upfront partner.

Solomon's course focused on big-picture thinking about generating ideas, raising funding, learning how to pitch to investors and finding customers.

Students sat in a large U-shaped formation equipped with just their laptops and a seemingly endless supply of Red Vines, potato chips, sodas and Red Bull. There were no textbooks to read, syllabuses to follow or facts to memorize.

It Takes All Kinds To Battle Over Mta Roads-taxes Plan

May 19, 1986|By Goldie Blumenstyk of The Sentinel Staff

Leaders of the PACs for and against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority are heading the fight for a lot of reasons -- some of which even have to do with roads.

The political action committees campaigning in the June 3 referendum in Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties have drawn a diverse group of high- profile players and would-be politicos.

The cast includes an ambitious millionaire, a homeowners' association leader, a sometimes feared Republican Party operative and a lawyer trying to establish his place in the Orlando power structure.

Also spicing up the contest is the butting of heads by two of Central Florida's best-known elected officials -- Orlando Mayor Bill Frederick as a tireless MTA booster and Orange County Commissioner Lou Treadway as its most outspoken foe.

Some fear the politicking could overshadow the bigger question of whether voters want a new agency that would impose a tax of up to 4 cents per gallon on gasoline and $1 on each $1,000 worth of taxable property for at least 30 years to improve roads.

''One of the dangers of this thing is that it's seen as a fight between Frederick and Treadway,'' the mayor said recently.

True enough, but the Frederick-Treadway debate could be a sideshow to the acts playing in the other rings.

Consider Glenn Martin, developer, magazine publisher, insurance company magnate and frequent supporter of charity gala balls, who heads Greenlight, the pro-MTA PAC with more than $250,000.

Martin is the major stockholder in Financial Security Corp. of America, the holding company that is developing the 186-acre Primera project in Lake Mary, publishes Central Florida Magazine and owns Twentieth Century Life Insurance Co.

Martin, 43, said he assumed leadership in the campaign at the invitation of Frederick and MTA chairman Walter Lowrie because he believes in the cause. Yet others, including some Greenlight backers, suggest he has other motives, calling his activity a form of political social climbing.

''There is something Gatsbyesque about Glenn Martin. He has made all that money yet he's not part of the inner circle,'' said a leading MTA supporter who asked not to be named. ''He wants to belong.''

Judgments about Ax the Tax chairman Doug Guetzloe, who also heads the Central Florida Young Republicans, are equally pointed.

''He is loved and loathed and there isn't much middle ground,'' said a prominent Republican, who asked for anonymity because Gueztloe ''has shown a tendency to go after his political enemies.''

That GOP associate questioned Guetzloe's motives, contending that the Ax the Tax chairman is in it as much for self-promotion as principle.

Martin said he believes the 31-year-old public relations consultant has chosen to carry the anti-MTA banner ''for recognition and notoriety and to get his name in paper.''

Martin and several others in Greenlight have refused to take part in debates and forums where Guetzloe is the sole opponent. ''I really would not debate against Guetzloe. He's not in my league,'' Martin said.

Guetzloe, president of Advantage Consultants in Orlando, said the criticism is unfair. ''If anything, it's bad for me because it puts me opposed to business opportunities. It does no one any good to appear as a naysayer.'' He said he opposes the MTA because it does not provide enough checks and balances to protect the public interest.

Guetzloe is best known in Central Florida as originator of the 1982 Ax the Tax campaign against the Penny for Progress, which would have levied a 1- cent sales tax for a year in Orange County for sports and cultural facilities. The levy was defeated.

To some this campaign is seen as a echo of that failed 1982 effort. But Frederick sees some key differences.

For one thing, these taxes will build and expand 255 miles of roads, not build an arena or some theaters, projects that some critics of the Penny for Progress considered frivolous.

Also, said Frederick, ''We didn't have any money in the Penny for Progress'' campaign. Greenlight has the cash, is making extensive use of billboards, plans four large mailouts and is buying lots of radio ads. By contrast, Ax the Tax has raised about $6,000 and the homeowners PAC about $14,000.

But most importantly, the MTA is backed by more powerful business and development interests than Penny for Progress was. Such money and power makes some uneasy.

''I have been warned by several people that I would be stepping on toes, stepping on powerful toes'' by opposing the MTA, said Cheryl Moore, president of the Orange County Homeowners' Association, which also has formed a PAC opposing the MTA.

The Greater Orlando Area Chamber of Commerce, the Industrial Development Commission of Mid-Florida, The Orlando Sentinel and several large banks and developers are among the most active MTA supporters.

What Could Be More Sexist Than Having McCain Chaperone Palin?

God let the woman speak for herself John.

John McCain shows up at the Couric-Palin interview to provide the subtext and protect the Barracuda pitbull with lipstick from "gotcha journalism". McCain jumps in and answers questions that are directed at Palin if he doesn't like the question that's being asked. This is total bullshit.

Sarah Palin AND John McCain definitely not ready to lead!

Backbone Of Our Country

Railways the backbone of our country.Rightly said. Connecting villages with towns, towns with cities. Creating employment and spreading opportunities as it chugs along the way on its iron tracks. Indian railways is rightly known as the backbone of our country.

Rail travel something that everyone would have experienced. Chugging its way across cities and towns, creating a way of transportation in cities. From local trains that connect various localities in a city to a multi-city express that connects two cities in two extremities of our country.

Railways in India, a multi-class travel experience. It’s used by a farmer to a businessman. A class of train for every one of them. But it’s not the businessman it matters. The farmer, the local seller, a worker in the city, that’s whom the railway serves the most.

“My everyday livelihood depends on it” says an on-train fruit seller lady. A local shop-keeper in a village in karaikudi district depends on the express and passenger trains to get goods from the cities for sales. It’s not just the educated it supports. Yes, people can get goods transported via roads these days as the network keeps on improving. But its still the railways that is the cheapest and most reliable mode of transportation in our country.

But, Indian Railways is now clogged by losses over losses each year. The result, the railways is keen on increasing the rail fare to reduce its losses. The number of new rails that is introduced in the lines is reduced and the number of new rail routes are also reduced. The budget is now increasingly focusing on improving the “technological” standard of the railways.

Indian government signed billion dollar project with Japan to introduce high-speed rail network in India, expecting an economic boom to the country. But the funny thing is the rail fare in the high-speed rail network costs more than a first class train ticket for a trip from Mumbai to Ahmedabad. Even funnier, the rail cost is more than an average flight fare in the route.

Whom does the high-speed rail network gonna help when the existing routes, the ones that gets clogged with more and more people each and every year, the local train routes in Mumbai one of the busiest trains in the world, with each day delays increasing more and more as the existing rail infrastructure can’t hold up with the demand ?

It’s the very local people, who can’t spend more money to get their goods transported via roads, the local train sellers, the daily worker who commutes in the local passenger train, the student who finds his way to his college on the train every day. It’s those people who are more dependent on railways than others. And because the railway has supported these people for this much time, Indian railways is known as “Backbone of India”.

Yes, high-speed rail networks are needed. But at so much cost? When so much needs to be improved on local infrastructure, Does our country needs to spend billions of dollars on a single high-speed rail corridor? Express your views in the comments below.

Treasure In, Treasure Out

Ouch: Treasure In, Treasure Out by R.C. Sproul Jr. | Ligonier Ministries Blog:
The next time you are alone in your car, turn on the oldies station. Sing along with as many songs as you can. Then turn off the radio, and begin to sing the Psalms. Then ask yourself what I ask, having failed the test so miserably- who has the words of eternal life, the Beatles, or Jesus?

Our Sins Are Being Forgiven Forever in Christ

"As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us." (Psalm 103: 12)

How far is east from west?

The more that you try to determine it, the farther East and West become.

In the same manner, God invites to grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus.

The more that we understand how gracious Jesus is, we then realize that He exceeds in grace to us:

"20Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen." (Ephesians 3: 20-21)

"Exceeding abundantly" Paul writes to the Ephesians. To the Romans, He writes:

"31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8: 31-32)

and then

"37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8: 37-39)

Our sins are being forgiven, and forever.

We receive this overwhelming victory as we grow in understanding of how great is this forgiveness.

Whatever you did in the past, not only has God already forgiven your sin, but He is taking that evil and turning it to your good:

"28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." (Romans 8: 28-30)

John could not make it clearer:

"7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1: 7)

and also

"1My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." (John 2: 1-2)

Even now, you have an advocate and an intercessor who is ministering for you, that you are always being forgiven, forever: Jesus!

His Love Creates Obedience

"And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it." (2 John 6)

We are called to walk in the truth of the Gospel (3 John 2-4).

Jesus did give commandments, too, but not the Ten Commandments, which is the Old Covenant set to vanish away (Hebrews 8: 13):

"Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." (John 6: 29)

and then

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." (John 13: 34)

and also

"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me." (John 15: 4)

The more that we understand what Jesus has done for us, that through His death we are set free from all our sins, and that His grace flows in our lives, the more that we love others:

"We love him, because he first loved us." (1 John 4: 19)

Yet when I look at  John 6 more closely, I notice that part of God's love includes our walking after His commandments. Just as He has loved us from the beginning, so to His love enables us to love others, too, to be obedient.

Target: Syria?

Washington is drawing up plans for attacks on Syrian targets following the US Presidential inauguration and Iraqi elections, according to a recent item from Debka: 'Bush has ordered US Iraq commander Gen. Casey to prepare February attack on Syria. Assad sends Syria’s chief of staff Gen. Habib to establish command post on Iraqi border. Israel braces for Hizballah backlash.' Debka provides a detailed report here. Russia, for its part, feels left out in the cold, and plans to make things a little hotter for America and Iraq: 'High-placed US and Israeli security sources confirm to DEBKAfile Russian proposes to sell Syria SA-10 air defense system of type protecting Moscow and SA-18 shoulder-launched anti-air rockets that could reach Iraqi guerrillas as well as Hizballah. These items would alter Middle East balance of strength. Clincher likely during Assad’s Jan. 24 Moscow visit. DEBKAfile adds: Putin is flexing muscle after Russia’s exclusion from US moves in Iraq and Palestinian election, Washington’s intervention in Ukraine election and in Yukos sale.' They've got a full report here. Meanwhile, Stratfor is reporting that Russia's defense minister, Sergei Ivanov, has denied reports that negotiations for the sale of the Iskander-3 missile will take place when Syria's Bashar Assad arrives in Moscow for a visit in late January.

Created Dutch Atari 16/32 bits Facebook group - looking for members

Postby rian_ata » Wed Apr 19, 2017 1:42 pm

Hi all, but especially to all my fellow Dutch Atarians!

with the 'recent' success of Atari Facebook groups I decided to create one myself with 3 specific reasons in mind. Just to be clear; there is no way I want to steer people away from this marvelous forum, however I hope my reasoning below is clearing that up.

1) Getting to know fellow Dutch Atarians and if there is any interest meetup in real life
2) Prevent bidding against each other on local (online) marketplaces without knowing it :wink:
3) If there is a language barrier one should be able to ask Atari related questions in their native language.

Reason #3 could be addressed here on as well, although I think all content should stay written in English and if I look at the way I use / read this forum (scanning and reading all recent topics at the top of the start page), I would not like it personally to see a lot of non-English content 8)

Hopefully nobody feels offended and it is allowed to look for members here!? Finally, the link to the Facebook group is:

Do social networks help or hurt romance?

With Valentine's Day around the corner, I'm wondering what's new out there in social networks when it comes to finding love.

Unless you've hibernated through the past decade, you know tons of people are using social networks to find dates and mates. According to a recent story, the biggest dating site,, has more than 15 million members. Online dating's even growing on mobile phones, with global revenues from that market expected to grow to nearly $1.4 billion by 2013.

What do you think? How are social networks and dating sites changing the way people handle dating and romance? Is it all for the better or the worse?

E-mail me your thoughts, or just reply to this post in the comments section. Maybe your thought or idea will give me a new twist on the traditional Valentine's Day story.

Ray said...

As much as people will try to defend and justify that online romance can happen, seriously it's mostly used for booty calls. Meet people in real life if you want to find a soul mate. Takes a lot more work, but it's worth it.

Anonymous said...

The union of a man and a woman is a mystery and, therefore, indiscernible. Men and women should be looking for dates and mates within their own workplace (as and if appropriate), church and other places of worship, neighborhoods.

Kimberly said...

I for one think that social network dating sites are for the worst. I will not call out the site but they are very suspectible for SCAMS and also many people claim to be decent people. What I mean by that is that they are "hunting grounds" for people who intend to harm females. Remember the young black female that was killed in South Carolina this past year? She went there to break up with a amn she met on line...........A NUT CASE, then is NOTORIOUS for scams!!! Eharmony discriminates against gays. Let's not forget Craigslist......even a so-called husband arranged for is wife to be raped on, by advertising for a rendevous on their site. What is the world coming to? I will stick to meeting someone face to face and taking my chances there. At least you know that the person, might possibily be telling the truth. IF all else fails do as background check on the person.

Jordan Hasay’s excellent marathon debut

April 17, 2017 0

© Copyright – 2017 – Athletics Illustrated

American Jordan Hasay ran the 2017 B.A.A. Boston Marathon on Monday in the time of 2:23:00 to finish in third place. It is the fastest American women’s marathon debut of all-time*.

In 2008, Kara Goucher ran 2:25:53, which is the American debut record on an official course (see below). Goucher ran her debut during in the New York City Marathon.

Hasay performance is impressive as she ran the first half in the time of 1:12:33, which put her on pace for a 2:25:06 finish time, which means she ran a 1:11:27 second half, a strong negative split. The race is net downhill; however, the infamous Heartbreak Hill that comes after the magical 32K mark (20miles) can end the race for many athletes. This negative split performance suggests that Hasay is capable of much more than 2:23:00.

The high temperature at finish time was 22 Celsius (72F), which is not ideal for the distance; however, runners were buffeted with up to 35/kmh (21/mph) tailwinds throughout.

Hasay displayed a foreshadowing of this performance when she ran the Prague Half Marathon on April 1 in the time of 1:07:55.

Athletics Illustrated predicted a 2:24:00 finish time for Hasay.

Finish Net            11:55:01AM        02:23:00               07:07     05:13     11.51

*The International Association of Athletics Federations – the worldwide governing body of the sport of athletics does not recognize Boston Marathon results for two reasons: the downhill nature of the course. The downhill breaches the 1m/per km elevation drop and the route is point-to-point, which means that in a tail wind, runners will benefit from a tail wind throughout the entire race.

So I'm not dead...

I just didn't really feel like blogging the journey. I mean...I have to live with this shit. I have to repeatedly explain to (hopeful) family members that no, I really am incurable.

So July's CEA number was excellent. And then we continued chemo because that is what you do: you do a set amount of chemo. I made the dumb decision to try green stuff to help with the nausea as it got worse and worse in late September or so.

Guess what that did to my CEA number? Hi JUMP! So I was stuck on chemo for another 6-8 weeks to see if it would go down.

It did.

November 17, 2015 I was officially on chemo holiday. We roll with it til something pops. December's visit was good, CEA still under the marker and bloodwork looked okay.

Today, I go in for an MRI and lab works. I meet with oncologist on Thursday. So we'll see how it goes. I'm enjoying my chemo holiday and hope it continues for thirty years!

Post-chemo/chemo holiday info: Constipation is still an issue. Lovebug Probiotics Yeast is a Beast is incredibly helpful and also helps with feminine itchies, which I'm prone to being a diabetic and having high sugars. When I eat right, sugars aren't a problem. But I haven't eaten right at all. I'm indulging in good tasting foods which happen to be very bad for me. Oops!

I'm not a paid spokesperson for Lovebug Probiotics, but I really should be. LOL I tell everyone how helpful it is for me and the difference it makes. The Cold Sucks one is keeping my dad from getting ill as colds are running rampant throughout his office. My mom likes Here's the Skinny.

Ok, back to cancer crap: I have neuropathy in my fingertips. Apparently this is irreversible. Annoying. I drop things a lot and have difficulty with fine dexterity things like small buttons, etc. But I'll take it! Better than dying!

Constipation, neuropathy, my hair fell out in chunks but didn't leave me  completely bald, it's now growing back a bit, but is ultra fine like baby hair.

Other than that, things are good. Slowly getting energy back, pushing myself a little too hard, but damn I'm enjoying the chemo holiday while it lasts!

My July Redwork Finish

Well here is Miss July - complete with her pieced block borders. I've named the sash & block design that surrounds my redwork block "Rockets Red Glare".

Speaking of RED..... I'm really excited about a new Red & White applique' project that I will start working on in August. The quilt pattern by Susan Garman is called Sarah's Revival.

Here are the fabrics I picked up at my local quilt shop this past weekend. At first, I considered using assorted red Civil War fabrics. But once I saw how intricate the blocks were, I decided batiks would work best for me.

No time frames or pressure deadlines with this project. I may only complete one or 2 blocks a month while watching some evening television. Whatever my progress, I'll be pleased & content to be stitching for the JOY of the process.

A few Jane Jewels

Here are a few of my favorite little Jane blocks I completed for last months local Dear Jane Club. This month we officially toppled the half-way mark for our Club program. It's really exciting to see all the wonderful blocks piling up.

Now that I finally decided on a fabric - it's time to start sashing these little gems. (but that will be saved for a later post)

Heirloom Machine Applique'

This technique is also referred to as Invisible Machine Applique'.

I'm teaching a workshop on this form of applique' at Quilter's Corner in August. This block is one of several "sample" pieces I've made for show & tell. What I love about this method of machine applique' is that it doesn't involve raw edges or fusible web. It has the look and feel of needle turn applique'. I love to do hand applique' work - but there are only so many hours in a day.

During August and September, I will begin sharing with you a series of BOM applique' projects that I've commmitted to thru the end of 2013. 2 of these projects will be hand applique' work and 2 will be sewn via heirloom Machine Applique'. It will be fun to see if you can tell which method I used in each quilt.

On to another topic: Here are the Easy Peasy T Blocks I've made for Month #3 of our Vintage Rouge Sew-along. There are 20 T Blocks to make this month for the quilt.

Happy Quilting!
