The wireless conversion kit makers have added voice controlled shifting to their XSHIFTER project that first launched via Kickstarter.
>>> Would you trust wireless brakes?
It's not without a few glitches at the moment. XSHIFTER: ""We do have a few minor things to work on. For example, the voice command is not available from iPhone lock screen. This is an Apple policy. However, we are looking for a way to integrate XShifter voice directly with the Siri API".
Check out the video above for a demonstration.
It's not yet clear what XSHIFTER users are supposed to say to the unit to make it shift. May we suggest "THUMB!" and "FINGER!" as an option?
New Kickstarter campaign from XSHIFTER offers wireless electronic shifting for pretty much any existing cable-actuated drivetrain.
Whether you're a Shimano user or a Sram user, whether you run 1x, 2x even 3x rings, in 9 or 10 or 11 or 12 speeds – XSHIFTER will fit your setup. It will even work with road bikes as well as mountain bikes.
Basically you remove your existing shifter(s) and all the cabling and replace it with a compact wireless remote control on your handlebars and a wireless control unit that locates above your mech(s).
The only bit of cable required is a small section that connects this control unit to the mech.
1. Can be used on ANY derailleur and frame.
4. Minimizes chain drop and rubbing.
5. Shifts with an accuracy of 10 microns.
6. Costs 1/10 of the price of current wireless shifting systems.
If you have a bike with complicated internal routing that suffers for excessive binding and friction after a while of filthy UK riding, you'll be interested in this. The whole setup is waterproof by the way.
Shifting is also reportedly smoother and more accurate.
It claims to be quick and easy to index your gears accurately.
It may also be a little bit lighter but we've yet to see the weights (and there won't be much in it really, but weight weenies will want to know).
And let's not forget to talk about the price. At $199 (early bird offer) the XSHIFTER is massively cheaper than existing electronic or wireless drivetrains from any of the big manufacturers.
Did someone mention dropper post functionality? Check out the above pic!
The project is almost certainly going to reach its funding goal. At time of writing they've raised $43,206 of a pledged $50,000 goal.

µRoar is a free client library used to access RoarAudio servers. It provides a simple interface to do basic operations like playing back some music. It is much smaller than libroar and under LGPLv3 (libroar is under GPLv3). This allows developers of non-free software to use this library while they are forbidden to use libroar. This is the reason development of it was started: to allow a non-free application to use RoarAudio in one of it's plugins.


How dare Edgar Allen Beem write about Dr. Ron Paul in terms that make him look like a self-serving, disoriented buffoon, when we know that only gold, grits, guns and God will save this Republic. And to denigrate his charming son Rand? Shame on you, Mr. Beem. You would never say those mean things to your own doctor and dentist.

News Report Palestine Prisoners
Jailed Hamas leader transferred to notorious Negev Prison Camp
Israeli authorities transferred Sheikh Hassan Yousef, one of the West Bank's most prominent leaders and a Member of the Legislative Council, from Askalan prison to the Negev Prison camp, where prisoners are kept in tents in the desert, exposed to the elements and subject to abuse by Israeli guards.
Sheikh Yousef, 53, was carried from the isolation wards in Askalan to the Negev after having been held for five months in the Askalan facility.
His incarceration conditions in Askalan were similar to hundreds of other Palestinian prisoners who experience harsh health and humanitarian conditions that lacked the simplest level of human rights.do not comply with even the most basic tenets of human rights regulations.
Yousef, who won the highest number of votes in the Ramallah district in Palestinian legislative elections last month, pointed out that the conditions of Palestinian captives in Israeli occupation jails were worsening amidst international silence towards their ordeal.
He appealed to the international legal and human rights institutions to swiftly intervene to save the lives of hundreds of sick prisoners and to end the suffering of more than 9,000 prisoners, many of whom are held in isolation.
Sheikh Hassan Yousef was arrested on the 25th of September 2005 in an Israeli campaign of arrests that targeted hundreds of Hamas leaders, cadres and supporters to prevent them from participation in the fourth round of local elections and the legislative elections. Yousef is pending trial on the 28 April.

Home Transportation Motowalk
Motowalk
The Motowalk is a conceptual people mover using motorized spheres embedded in a boardwalk to carry people across business districts. This would be a new type of multidirectional boardwalk changing how people in densely populated cities travel from one location to another during their workday.
A few years ago, we went to Walt Disney in Florida with our kids, and we rode the Tomorrowland Transit Authority People Mover, promoted as a futuristic urban mass transit system. Of course I immediately wondered about upgrading it: what if we could create a system that would be able to move people around the city without using electric cars? What if the sidewalk itself could move you in whatever direction you wish?
The Motowalk would be shaped like a standard moving walkway. There would be guardrails so you can hold on to them, but the difference would stop right there. The floor of the Motowalk would be designed so as to move you in the direction you are going. As you can imagine… that is the tricky part!
For this, Adolfo Esquivel (the industrial designer who created the images of this concept) proposed to use microspheres that would roll in any intended direction with the help of electromagnets. The induced movement could make someone fall, but s/he could use them to 'translate', meaning that people would slide on Motowalks and could even take curves.
Basically, when hopping on the Motowalk, you'd hold on to the rail and initiate a slide. The system would then accelerate and make sure you remain balanced. It would need some getting used to, but I can imagine kids will pick it up really fast. One could also ride it with a 'slide board' or set preferences to a slower speed.
The guardrails would be positioned along the road, so that you could always hold on to them if you don't feel secure. The spheres could also remain 'fixed' if you prefer not to ride. In other words, the Motowalk could behave like a regular sidewalk or a moving walkway, or an advanced translating device capable of creating curved paths.
I don't know if you've seen the 'solar roadways' concept, but I like the embedded LED lights and signals they proposed so that images could be projected on the floor to warn users about oncoming traffic or set directions. The Motowalk would be a smart device, meaning that it would connect with your phone to bring you where you want to go.
What purpose does it serve?
The Motowalk is a specialised people mover designed for very densely populated urban areas (like Shibuya, in Japan, for instance). It could be at first built inside research centers, universities, airports and malls, then gradually introduced in outdoor areas. There are others ways to design such a system, and, if you have some suggestions, we'd be happy to hear from you!
The Motowalk concept was imagined in August 2016 by Charles Bombardier and designed by Adolfo Esquivel. Adolfo graduated with an Industrial Design degree from Colombia and completed his postgraduate education in Events Design at UQAM (Montreal). Adolfo also created the images of the Firesound flying saucer drone and of the Jacknife morphing car.

Top-end shoe maker Loriblu has recently launched Selene, the first fashion shoe that lights up, a marriage between technological innovation and the world of fashion.
Selene is a dècolletès; a high-heeled, narrow tip fashion shoe, that glows thanks to optical fibers and LED lights embroidered on the shoe's stitches ( DreamLux patented).
Selene is designed by fashion designer Graziano Cuccù (the founder of this family business) and its design ensures an elegant look even when the shoe isn't lit up.
Each of these exclusive luminescent pairs of shoes is hand made by skilled shoemakers. Thanks to the new DreamLux technology, optical fibers are used to do the embroidery on the shoe whilst the wiring system along with the mini-batteries are hidden thanks to a special housing under the insole.
The shoe becomes luminescent thanks to a small on/off switch. The battery lasts 50 hours, once exhausted it will be replaced, free of charge, by Loriblu.
Selene was officially launched on 5 September during an exclusive event in Milan at the Hotel Sheraton Diana Majestic. Selene's tag price is €3,200.
Graziano Cuccù started his business in 1970 using a second hand machine found underneath a stairwell. Since the early 90s Mr. Cuccù's wife Annarita Pilotti has become an integral part of the business and she is now the President of the Assocalzaturifici Associazion. Today the new family generation (Sara, Claudia, Riccardo and Michela) are all involved in the business. Loriblu's exports account for 80 per cent of their total sales.

Bible Characters and Themes
Books of
& Answers
Why Study the Bible
Read Through
By Mary Jane Chaignot
This book continues the story begun in 1 Samuel. It records how David became king of all Israel after the death of Saul. The books of Kings, which follow, will carry on the story through to the exile. While Samuel was the main character in the first book (hence its name), David will dominate the pages of the second book of Samuel. Some scholars maintain, however, that reading 2 Samuel without having a good knowledge of 1 Samuel would be like starting to read a novel in the middle and trying to figure it all out on that basis. These two books are intricately connected, not just because they bear the same name and were undoubtedly one book in the beginning, but also because of what they reveal about God.
The overall theme of 1 Samuel was to document the transition of the people of Israel from a loosely formed federation of tribes to a united monarchy. It accomplished this through exciting stories of battles, intrigue, and love. 2 Samuel shows the sovereignty of God in establishing the house of this monarchy. Good leaders are hard to find. And even a good leader can embody the qualities of good and evil. Both these books are steeped in the tradition of the Deuteronomists, who believed, simply stated, that the righteous are blessed and the wicked are punished. This simplistic theology undergirds the rise and fall of the various characters. To their credit, the authors paint a balanced picture of Israel's life and their leaders, showing both positive and negative incidents.
We will recall from 1 Samuel how the people had begged for a king, to be "like all the nations." Samuel, for one, felt this was a bad idea. He saw this as turning away from the foundations of loyalty to Yahweh. But then Yahweh graciously gave the people what they wanted - a king named Saul. Shortly into his reign, however, Saul rejected Yahweh's rule and lost his kingship. Some scholars think the cards had always been stacked against him; nonetheless, "another" was brought onto the scene, namely David. For a while David served in Saul's court - in his army. But as David's popularity soared, Saul became jealous and David was forced to flee for his life. When Saul and his sons were killed in battle, David was the logical replacement. Yet, a careful reader will notice that David's life was hardly flawless. Interestingly, he was not rejected for his wrongdoings. Indeed, Yahweh promised to establish David's kingdom forever, and stated, "I will be his father and he shall be my son." These words of adoption did not give David license to misbehave. To be sure, if David were to do wrong, Yahweh declared that he would be chastised; but Yahweh promised, "I shall not withdraw my good-will from him as I withdrew it from Saul…"
In fact, David did many things wrong. David might have been God's anointed, his adopted son, but he is not held up as someone we should emulate. David is not given to us for a moral example. His misdeeds were probably recorded because they were public knowledge. (In contrast, the author of Chronicles judiciously avoids many of David's missteps.) And while David's monarchy was diminished after his affair with Bathsheba and the arranged death of her husband, Yahweh remained faithful to his word. Some scholars see this as a glimpse of grace shining through the Deuteronomist's mantra of crime and punishment. Even in the face of evil, the message is, there is hope for redemption. The authors do not address why this was only offered to David and not to Saul. Bear in mind, however, that the final shape of this book occurred years after the fact; so it might just be a historical tribute to the actual events. Suffice it to say that within these pages, many lessons can be learned.
First and foremost, the authors believed that God was intimately involved in their lives and in their community. They saw the hand of God in all the events that occurred. These stories, then, are told from the point of view of God being present with them (albeit silently at times), of having made a covenant with them, and of having revealed himself to them. It's not that they constantly refer to God. Indeed, many texts are very circumspect about God's role. Generally, God only speaks to and through his prophets. Yet, the stories have to be read within this framework. Everything they do, they do in relation to God. And ultimately, though it seems like the leaders are making decisions and dominating the action, in reality it is God who determines the outcome.
There are four primary sections in 2 Samuel:
The Question of Saul's Successor: 1:1-5:1-10
David's reign: 5:11-8:18
David's family: 9:1-20:26

The rape of Tamar
David's son, Ammon, lusts after his half sister, Tamar
A cousin, Jonadab, comes up with a plan
Ammon feigns sickness; Tamar is brought in to care for him
Ammon forces himself upon her…then hates her and throws her out
Tamar mourns loudly and publicly
Her full brother, Absalom, takes her home
David finds out, but does nothing because he "loves" Ammon
Absalom kills Ammon
Two full years pass
Absalom holds a sheep shearing celebration
Ammon is invited and when he is drunk,
Absalom's men kill him Absalom flees across the border
He spends the next three years in exile
David mourns his son, Absalom
Absalom returns
Joab sees David's pending change of heart re: Absalom
Puts a plan in motion through a "wise woman"
She poses as a widow with two sons, one of whom killed the other
People are now insisting the remaining son be killed
David sees the injustice in this, doesn't yet realize it's about him
Promises to protect the remaining son

But David refuses to see him
Restoration of the family does not occur
After two years, Absalom presses the matter with Joab
Insists on being taken to the king regardless of outcome

David learns from this experience, listens to God
Escapes to the Jordan
Absalom and his Counselors
Absalom returns to Jerusalem
One of David's advisors (Hushai) offers his services to Absalom
Eventually Absalom trusts him, but he's spying for David
Absalom seeks the advice of two counselors (Hushai is one of them)
One tells him to sleep with his father's concubines (transfer of power)
Sexual relations with the concubines of a king establish a claim on the kingdom
Absalom complies "in the sight of all Israel"
Next the counselor advises that he should immediately track and kill David
The other reminds Absalom that David will be hard to kill
Tells Absalom he must go after David himself - with all Israel to help him
Choosing this approach delays the matter since they must wait for the troops to gather
Absalom chooses the second (offered by Hushai)
Hushai's loyalty to David
Hushai sends word to David re: Absalom's plans
David moves his men to the other side of the Jordan
First counselor hangs himself

David has time to get his troops in order, feed them, add to their ranks
Is restrained by his own troops from leading the battle
Tells his commanders to "deal gently with "Absalom"

Despite Absalom's coup, David mourns his son
"Would I had died instead of you"
David returns to Jerusalem
Alongside David, all the troops "mourn" for
Absalom (somber victory)
Country is confused, too - who really is king?
Absalom was young, vibrant; David is "old," maybe too old
Anti and pro-David factions are active
David is roused from his mourning to deal with his kingship
Enlists help of trusted priests to convince the elders to embrace David
Hires Absalom's commander, replaces Joab Intended both to punish Joab for Absalom's death, attract Absalom loyalists back to David
Tide turns when anti-David forces come to repent
David forgives them, shows he is king of all, not just his followers
Saul's son, Mephibosheth, pledges his loyalty
Meeting with Barzilla along the road
David offers Barzilla a life of ease in the palace
Barzilla declines, but blesses him (and vice versa), sends his son
Barzilla symbolically frees David from obligations of hospitality
Also indicates alliance with north
Should have settled things, but immediately following, bickering starts anew
There is a rupture between northern and southern factions
Northerners don't want to be second-class citizens
Another revolt (Sheba, a Benjamite)
Sheba, a northerner of the tribe of Saul, leads a revolt against
David David returns to Jerusalem
Dismantles his harem, the ones humiliated by Absalom
Perhaps he has learned his real authority is God-derived
Sends his new commander after Sheba

Besieges the city; a wise woman offers a deal
She will give up Sheba if Joab withdraws from the city
Both keep their words
Joab is back in his old job, commander of David's army

Famine in the Land
There is a three-year famine
David prays for guidance
Is told that famine is consequence of Saul's evil acts against
Gibeonites
David asks the Gibeonites what he should do
They think ritual sacrifice of Saul's seven sons will solve the famine
David does what they ask
Two of the sons were of Rizpah
She publicly mourns them, watches over their bodies
David hears about her, repents, orders that all the bodies (including Saul's and Jonathan's) be properly buried
Then the famine ends
Rizpah brings David to his theological senses
God doesn't require human sacrifices; God requires human mercy
David's warriors
Another battle looms with the Philistines
David's men are highlighted as big, fierce, and courageous
David's prayer
Words are from Psalm 18 (or vice versa)
Summary of David's life
"The Lord is my rock…fortress…deliverer….shield…salvation
God is the one who empowers David
He recalls God's saving acts, his mercy towards David
He declares his descendants will inherit God's promises
23:1-7

Thirty-seven in all
The establishment of the Jerusalemite Cult
David is told to take a census of the north and south
He does this, but realizes it was wrong as soon as it is complete
He is offered his choice of punishment
Chooses pestilence
Many people die
David confesses his sin; takes full responsibility
Before the pestilence reaches Jerusalem, David is able to stop the "angel of the Lord on the threshing floor of Arunah the Jebusite."
Scholars believe this to be the site of the Temple that Solomon would build
Story shows David laying the foundation for the Temple
David pays Arunah for the land
The book of Samuel ends with a difficult story, but one that highlights David in all his humanity. David's mistakes are not ignored or excused, and sometimes they have grave consequences. Nonetheless, David is remembered as Israel's greatest king. Despite his failures, he had many successes. Perhaps the greatest lesson is to realize that people can be of use to God amidst all their strengths and weaknesses. Out of this unholy place and time (with its sexual mores and warring traditions) God was able to form a holy people. God's work continues uninterrupted despite the ways of the world. The story, however, is far from finished. Next month we will begin to explore the world of the Kings through to their end. As always, God's presence is presumed. The books are inherently theological and offer an explanation for the demise of the Israelite kingdoms.

The Procedure | Manipulation Under Anesthesia | Dr. Sarb Dhesi | San Ramon, San Francisco Bay Area, California.
MUA is normally completed at a hospital or surgical center, and patients are generally required to be accompanied by a friend or family member to drive them home from the procedure. MUA normally does not take too long, but recovery from anesthetic may take some time depending on the patient's level of sedation. The procedure itself is somewhat similar to a chiropractic visit, however the patient will be put under some level of sedation, and the procedures are meticulously carried out with mobilization and soft tissue work.
MUA-FRP can be administered under general anesthesia, mild sedation, twilight sedation or IV sedation, or by injecting anesthetic solutions into the relevant spine tissues. This will be administered under close monitoring by a board certified anesthesiologist, which is why the procedure must take place in some a surgical center. While sedated, the treatment consists of various spinal and joint manipulations, mobilizations, postural and articular kinesthetic movements and some passive stretches to assist in treating the relevant tissues, joints or conditions. There is normally more than one physician involved in the procedure as medical professions want to ensure wholesome treatment in being provided. This may sometimes involve a pain management doctor who may carry out spinal or joint injections prior to the actual procedure, but this is generally only in severe cases.
Immediately after the procedure, the patient is placed into care for a short time while they recover from the anesthetic. Often patients who undergo this procedure notice an improvement immediately after they regain consciousness or sensation in the area, however, depending on the severity of the condition or injury, the procedure may have to be repeated for up to three consecutive days to ensure adequate manipulation has been undertaken. A further examination will be completed to ensure the patient is ready to leave, and a follow-up with a general practitioner will be highly encouraged.
This refers to manipulative procedures that involve positioning the articulation through a complete anatomic scope of movements and exerting compliant oscillatory rhythmic springing force repetitively towards the direction of curtailment. When this procedure is performed, it focuses on increasing the mobility of the affected tissue through slowly making the restrictive barrier mobile and the caliber of mobility through reestablishing a smooth range of movements that have the necessary feel and elasticity.
These procedures are generally used for fibrous release and assist in the treatment of the peri-articular soft tissue. They normally involve linear stretching, traction and occasionally separation of insertion and muscle origin and lateral stretching. Soft tissue procedures assist in decreasing muscle spasms and help to enhance mobility and locomotion of affected tissues.
This is a high velocity procedure that assists in making the joints move through its normal anatomical range of motion. It involves providing a controlled impulse into a restricted joint that surpasses the restrictive articular adhesions to allow normalized movement. This is a very specific procedure, it normally aims at treating the articular and intra-articular tissue, increasing the mobility range of the joints, lessening joint restrictions and reducing hyper-tonicity of muscles..this is what chiropractors specialize in and what MUA certified chiropractors set the standard in. It can also assist in stretching shortened fibrous connective tissue of the articulation, the joint capsule, and is often used in conjunction with other techniques.

Hope for evicted forest people as Kenya vows to honour landmark ruling

Evictions have ceased and rehabilitation is underway one year after Africa's highest human rights court told Kenya to compensate forest-dwellers for violating their land rights
NAIROBI, May 31 – Kenya's Ogiek people are optimistic of returning to their ancestral forests as the government has pledged to honour a landmark ruling ordering reparations for forced evictions, in a judgment that could impact others with similar land claims.
Evictions have ceased and the Ogiek are rehabilitating parts of the Rift Valley's Mau Forest one year after Africa's highest human rights court told Kenya to compensate the forest-dwellers for violating their land rights, an Ogiek campaigner said.
"The community looks a bit psychologically stabilized," Daniel Kobei, executive director of the Ogiek Peoples' Development Program, a complainant in the case, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
"They have hope they will get back their land."
The Tanzania-based African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights ruled last May that Kenya violated the Ogieks' land rights by evicting them from the Mau Forest – Kenya's largest water catchment area – in the Rift Valley.
Campaigners supporting communities living on protected lands across Africa hailed the court's first decision on indigenous people's rights as a major victory.
A government taskforce, set up in November, will give its recommendations in June on how to implement the ruling, Korir Sing'oei, a member of the 17-strong body and a legal advisor to the deputy president's office, said on Thursday.
The Ogiek could be restored to their original land or given alternative sites, the government said when it appointed the taskforce last year.
"Everything we are looking at now has to do with restitution of land and other forms of remedies," Sing'oei said.
"I don't think, at this point in time, there is any talk around financial compensation."
Environmentalists have long campaigned for better protection of the Mau Forest as Kenya has been hard hit by unlawful settlement, logging and charcoal production in its indigenous forests, all of which are government-owned.
Indigenous communities argue that the best way to protect forests is to give them ownership of the land on condition that they conserve it.
"Mau is a very fragile ecosystem of huge environmental and ecological significance to the country," said Sing'oei, adding that restoration of the forest to the Ogiek would require it to be converted from government to community or private land.
"Determining the beneficiaries is a huge project … There are many people who present themselves as Ogiek, and they are not, or there are some people who are Ogiek and are not included."
The case has nationwide implications, he said.
"This is a forest community and so this decision has a precedence value vis-a-vis other communities that are similarly situated," he said.
"There is no magic bullet to this implementation. It's going to be a fairly lengthy process."

"My final wish before I go is a happy family photograph and I want it to read 'Kapoor & Sons Since 1921'"
The romantic comedy drama Kapoor & Sons is a refreshing take on love, family, and the ties that bind us together.
After 90-year-old "Dadu" Amarjeet Kapoor (Rishi Kapoor) is hospitalized following a heart attack, grandsons Rahul and Arjun Kapoor (Fawad Khan and Sidharth Malhotra) return to the Coonoor homestead in Tamil Nadu. Having been estranged for five years, they are now a bit older and wiser and seem inclined to start anew.
While their brotherly bonds are beginning to strengthen, Tia Malik (Alia Bhatt) enters the picture. The relationship of each of the brothers with this spirited, fun-loving young woman is one more challenge for the boys as they must also deal with bickering parents Harsh and Sunita Kapoor (Rajat Kapoor and Ratna Pathak) and harmful memories.
While some may find the story offers some unique plot twists, the strength of Kapoor & Sons is in the way it presents a cinematic family portrait painted in the complicated hues of secrets, unfaithfulness and unfulfilled dreams. Yet, this is a dysfunctional family is trying to move forward and no one is singled out as the root cause of the family problems. There is no bad guy. Everyone in the family has secrets. Everyone has told lies. Everyone has been hurt in some way.
Because of the family issues, everyone is charting their own separate course. There have been some modest successes for the Kapoor family, but even those are tinged with family drama.
Dadu is the exception. Performed brilliantly by Rishi Kapoor, Dadu is a breath of fresh air in a family that is barely holding on. While his hilarious antics may offend some, his good nature generates a smile more often than a frown. In his own unique way, he repeatedly brings family members together and helps them heal.
In the end, the much-desired family portrait finally comes together as family members reach out embrace truth, seek reconciliation and recognize shared loss and love.
Kapoor & Sons is one more in a series of Bollywood films that have strongly-drawn characters and down-to-earth stories that connect with audiences around the world. As Hollywood films continue to move into the superhero and science fiction genre, Bollywood wisely continues to release heart-warming and entertaining cinematic gems such as Kapoor & Sons, Piku, and Dil Dhadakne Do. These films offer a refreshing perspective on family ties and the struggles many of us face as we journey together through life.
The following features the trailer and making of videos for Kapoor & Sons.

Georgia stuns Alabama 33-18 to clinch 2022 CFP National Championship
By Kelli Dugan, Cox Media Group National Content Desk
INDIANAPOLIS — Payback was sweet for the Georgia Bulldogs who claimed the 2022 College Football National Championship in Indianapolis on Monday night, knocking off the Alabama Crimson Tide by a score of 33-18.
The two teams previously met in Atlanta in the 2018 National Championship, where the Tide won in overtime. Alabama has won seven straight against Georgia, including last month's SEC Championship, WSB-TV reported.
The No. 1-ranked Tide sputtered early on offense against the third-ranked Bulldogs, trading field goals to close the first half with a lead of only 9 to 6.
The second half, however, belonged to Georgia, with Alabama failing to score inside the red zone multiple times and Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Bryce Young throwing a pick six that nearly doubled the eight-point deficit.
Meanwhile, the Tide faithful held their collective breath early in the second quarter when wide receiver Jameson Williams went down with an apparent lower leg injury after making a 40-yard reception. Williams had taken center stage in Alabama's passing game since John Metchie III tore his ACL in the first half of the Dec. 4 SEC Championship Game, also against Georgia.
Monday's win means the Bulldogs will bring home their third national title in school history, and only their second since 1980.

Drugs and hormones needed to keep confined animals alive and growing are mainly excreted with the wastes and saturate local waterways. -Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

It had been my idea that a combination of purebred cattle and horses could be successful from an economic standpoint – in Maryland. Maryland is not a cattle state. To raise beef cattle successfully, you've got to be able to raise cheap feed. -Larry MacPhail
Born a slave, Harriet Tubman was determined not to remain one. She escaped from her owners in Maryland on the Underground Railroad in 1849 and then fearlessly returned thirteen times to help guide family members and others to freedom as the most famous conductor of the Underground Railroad. -Susan Campbell Bartoletti
Maryland has a tradition of Democratic Party conservatism. -Bob Ehrlich

The 10 Best Day Trips from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Maryland first allowed early voting during the 2010 primary elections. In November 2012, more than 16 percent of registered voters in Maryland cast their ballots during the early voting period, and some polling places, particularly in our larger jurisdictions, witnessed early voting lines that were hours long. -Martin O'Malley
My mom always wanted to go to Maryland to live there. Baltimore, actually. She had a best friend who lived there. She kept saying that she was going to move there and make that her home, but she only made it halfway across the country and got stuck in Iowa. -Vonda Shepard
The gulf between Virginia and Maryland isn't only a function of geography. It's also sociological. Indeed, it's probably not much of an exaggeration to say that Maryland suburbanites and Virginia suburbanites constitute two mutually hostile tribes. -Timothy Noah
In 1979, the Supreme Court ruled 5-3 in Smith v. Maryland that a few days' worth of phone records for a single individual were not protected by the Fourth Amendment. The NSA today, though, collects hundreds of millions of phone records from hundreds of millions of Americans without an individualized warrant. -Rand Paul
It was by a Maryland colonel in the year 1777 that the British received, in the gallant defense of an important fort, one of the first lessons of what they were to expect from American valor and patriotism. -Marquis de Lafayette
The Catholics of Maryland were the first people on the new continent to declare universal religious toleration. Let this be remembered to their eternal honor. -Robert Green Ingersoll
We are pleased to see that Maryland legislators stepped up and made a statement about what kind of businesses they want in their state. Marylanders deserve businesses that provide for their employees, pay a decent wage and provide affordable health care, not those that expect taxpayers to foot the bill for their bottom-line corporate profits. They get that with Fair Share Health Care. -Anna Burger
The Boston Witch Trials
There are certain states – Maryland has become one this year, North Carolina has been one and New Jersey has been one – where there's no real home-school advantage. Guys can just come in here and cherry-pick who they want. -Mike Farrell
We faced several of these bills last year, and all were voted down except for the Maryland bill. -Nate Hurst
We actually didn't lose a game in the summer league against the Maryland teams. That kind of got our confidence up. That gives me chance to try people out in different places. -Steve Tanner
We really hit the state of Virginia hard, and we include Maryland and the Washington area in that same vicinity. If you're in Northern Virginia, it's just a stone's throw to Maryland and the D.C. area. -Jim Cavanaugh
We held a competitive bidding process and awarded the bids based on the lowest price for our customers. We fully understand that these increases are substantial and that all of our Maryland customers will feel their impact. -Gary Stockbridge
Yes, Maryland is worthy of that. They are a great team. And they are young, so they are going to be tough for a long time. -Sylvia Hatchell
Yes, I think Maryland is worthy of that. You look at their losses, one to us, and two to Duke and early, early they lost to Tennessee. They're a great team. -Sylvia Hatchell
The fact is that since the passage of the Maryland electric industry restructuring law in 1999, BGE residential customers have benefited from a substantially lower rate structure … well below the market rates paid in other parts of the country. BGE has no choice but to procure power at prevailing market rates. Every dollar deferred is a dollar that might not be invested in infrastructure for the utility. -Rob Gould
The 42 Best Waterfalls in Texas
We were competing against schools from Maryland and Delaware, and there was a separate division for D.C.. -David White

Losing to Carolina and then to Maryland was tough for us, but it came at the right time. -Mistie Williams
Many counties in Maryland are above the average unemployment rate for both Maryland and the United States. We need representation in Congress who will make creating jobs the No. 1 priority so the people of Maryland can get back to work. -Andrew P. Harris
One thing Maryland does very well is they kind of get in your head before you even step on the field. We've been able to fight that and minimize that as the years have gone by. They are a terrific team. If I'm talking about my team in the same breath as Maryland, I'm pretty happy. -Janine Tucker
I coached at Maryland for five years. We were statistically as impressive a team as you can be on offense for many of those years. We couldn't win games. I want to win here. -Rob Spence
But we've played in some tough places this season. We've been to the Dean Dome, Cameron Indoor Stadium, Maryland and Michigan. It's not like we don't know what it's like to play in a hostile environment. -Frank Haith
Getting games such as this to Baltimore is difficult because Maryland wants home games and Navy wants home games and they both want them at their own facilities, -Kevin Byrne
Go back into the days when Maryland lost the ACC championship to N.C. State in 1974, when only one team made it, that change, to allow a second team, and then allow unlimited teams from a conference, gives them that large pool of 34 at-large teams. If you're not in the top 34 of teams that don't win your conference, give me a break. You've had the chance to win games. You have no reason to complain. -Jim Johnson
17 Essential Amelia Island Travel Tips: Planning a Trip to Amelia Island, Florida made Simple!
What we want our customers to understand is that there is something broader than just Baltimore, Maryland that's driving all these costs. -Rob Gould
There is an adage in business that says that you should only compete when you have a competitive advantage. When it comes to cybersecurity, Maryland has a whole host of competitive advantages. -Martin O'Malley
It came down to Maryland, Harvard and Duke. Harvard for obvious reasons (it was her parents' first choice), Duke was a team that had not won a national title, but was already there (close to winning one). Maryland gave me a chance to do what nobody else in the country believed we could do. I like doing that, bursting people's expectations. -Shay Doron
I think it's a natural rivalry because of the close proximity of the schools. I'm happy to see that Maryland and Navy are finally playing again. -Roger Staubach
I think the entire state of Maryland and D.C. within the next two years will be smoke-free. -Kari Appler
I think the decision by the BRAC commission to reject the Pentagon recommendations to move the Army Research Laboratory from White Sands Missile Range to Maryland was very good news. That, I think, was the good news of the day. -Jeff Bingaman
I support the process and will await the ultimate resolution by the Maryland Court of Appeals. Right now, we need to focus our attention on passing a strong medical-decision making bill, and oppose Governor Ehrlich's efforts to weaken these protections. -Douglas Duncan
Penn State really finished with a great flurry. They really did well in the state of Maryland and they did well on the defensive line, not to mention them getting a receiver like Chris Bell. They also filled all their needs. -Bob Lichtenfels
10 Fairytale Castles in Kansas You Should See at Least Once!
People across Maryland know that Baltimore has made real progress and they're sick of Doug Duncan's unending barrage of negative, misleading attacks on the hard work of police officers, neighborhood and business leaders who have made the city safer. -Jonathan Epstein
Our response to this natural disaster has been swift and generous, … We have cared for more than 2,400 evacuees in Maryland and sent sorely needed staff and supplies to Gulf Coast states. I am grateful that the Bush Administration will help shoulder the costs associated with our efforts. -Robert Ehrlich
Our focal point every season is trying to beat Army, Air Force and Notre Dame, … Our game against Maryland is just another football game for us, one of 11 we'll play. -Chet Gladchuk
Our basic concern is that if the Maryland legislation passes, it's locked in, we know what we are getting. If we go down the rule-making road, there's some uncertainty. We don't know what's going to come out the other end. -Eric Schaeffer
Representing Maryland agriculture, our state's No. 1 industry, has been a huge honor, -Miss Robinson

Remembering that we lost to Maryland before was pressure on us. -Camille Little
People who live in the city were much more positive about the community and happier about where they lived than in the suburbs of Maryland and Virginia. It has something to do with D.C. being a grown-up city and the suburbs still have growing pains. -Tim Priest
States like Maryland should be applauded, not sued, for trying to address the tragic fact that in state after state Wal-Mart forces taxpayers to subsidize its health-care costs. -Chris Kofinis
Springtime in Maryland is always an exciting time. We believe that it will be even more appealing this year as a result of the nature of the program and increases in the stakes. -Lou Raffetto

Maryland was outstanding defensively. They first half, they forced us into a lot of contested shots. We could've helped ourselves by moving the ball a little bit better, but defensively, they were sharp. -Paul Hewitt

Maryland needs someone in Congress who will fight to create jobs, stop out-of-control government spending and defend small businesses. -Andrew P. Harris

I grew up in Columbia, Maryland, a planned community built during the sixties. During the early years, it was very integrated. I grew up being taught by black teachers with black principals and vice principals and, you know, a lot of black friends. We played in mixed groups, and I kind of thought that was how it was. -Michael Chabon
Getting trade policy right is huge for our economy and huge for Maryland. This is about creating Maryland jobs by selling Maryland products to Asia, moving right from Western Maryland farms out through the Port of Baltimore. -John Delaney
I believe this is a moment of truth for our country, a time when people of all parties and persuasions should stand together and denounce Trump's campaign. That includes our governor here in Maryland. -John Delaney

Marriage equality is a hustler's feeding frenzy of gold-diggers. I campaigned for marriage equality in Maryland because I believe we should have the right to it, but I personally don't want to get married. I don't want to imitate the traditions of heterosexual people. I hate weddings: they make me uneasy. -John Waters
We have been frustrated that there are a number of incumbents in Maryland offices who have been in office for years and years and show no movement or desire to pass the torch. -John Mahoney
Randy Edsall is a good, strong, decent man who is working his tail off on behalf of the University of Maryland. And there are more people that want to spend their days burning things down than building it up. At least just stop rooting against him. You know, give the guy a chance. -Kevin Plank

Our client, a leader in the automotive manufacturing industry, is currently seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to join their team in London, ON.

Spain offers another daffodil of dwarf stature which fits neatly into the small garden landscape in N. minor. Growing about 8 inches (20 cm) high, the flowers in two tones of yellow are large in proportion to the stem length. I grew a form with full double flowers in my last garden which came to me as 'Queen Anne's Daffodil'.
Should I ever be asked to propose an archetype daffodil, then my choice would fall on N. pseudonarcissus which is naturalised in so many places throughout the British Isles. There are many different forms, usually with white petals and lemon yellow trumpets with an average stem length of 12 inches (30 cm). The largest concentration of this species I have ever seen occurs in Farndale, Yorkshire, where the bulbs have established over many acres in the damp fields – conditions to this daffodil's liking. The picture they make when in bloom on a sunlit April day remains vivid in the memory. At one period this species formed a convenient dumping ground for any trumpet daffodils which needed classification, including the Tenby daffodil, N. obvallaris with self-colored, yellow flowers. Certainly the two are very closely related, though the Tenby daffodil lacks the robust constitution of the typical form.


NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a new moon orbiting the distant blue-green planet Neptune. This brings the number of known satellites circling the giant planet to 14.
The body is estimated to be no more than 12 miles across, making it the smallest known moon in the Neptunian system. It's so small that it escaped detection by NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft, which flew by Neptune in 1989 and surveyed the planet's system of moons and rings.
Mark Showalter of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, Calif., discovered the moon on July 1, while studying the faint ring-arcs of Neptune. "The moons and arcs orbit very quickly, so we had to devise a way to follow their motion in order to bring out the details of the system," he said. "It's the same reason a sports photographer tracks a running athlete — the athlete stays in focus, but the background blurs."
On a whim, Showalter extended his analysis outward to regions well beyond the ring system, and noticed an extra white dot about 65,400 miles from Neptune, located between the orbits of the moons Larissa and Proteus.
Showalter next analyzed over 150 archival Neptune photographs taken by Hubble from 2004 to 2009. The same white dot appeared over and over again. He then plotted a circular orbit for the moon, which completes one revolution around Neptune every 23 hours.
The moon, designated S/2004 N 1, is so small and dim that it is roughly one hundred million times fainter than the faintest star that can be seen with the naked eye.
Neptune's largest moon, Triton, which is nearly the size of Earth's moon, may be a captured icy dwarf planet from the Kuiper Belt at the outer rim of our solar system. This capture would have gravitationally torn up any original satellite system Neptune possessed. Many of the moons now seen orbiting the planet probably formed after Triton settled into its unusual retrograde orbit about Neptune.

A classy effort that is tight, structured and firmly tannic, with a core of chewy licorice, blackberry, currant, savory herb and underbrush flavors. Impressively focused and graceful, this glides along the palate. The modest tannins portend well for the future. Best from 2020 through 2032. 550 cases made.
Drink Dates: 2020-2032
Author: James Laube
Little can be added to the greatness of the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin, a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine (600 cases) is truly stunning in its dense, crAme de cassis and blackberry-scented nose with a hint of barbecue smoke and forest floor. Tasting like a ripe vintage of Chƒteau Latour from Pauillac
The historic State Lane Vineyard, in the heart of the Napa Valley, was first leased by Beringer Estates in 1972 and was used to launch Beringer's famous Private Reserve Cabernet. The Kapcsandys purchased the property in May, 2000 and in 2001 teamed up with legendary winemaker Helen Turley and her viticulturist husband John Wetlaufer. After careful research, they discovered a unique vineyard with multiple micro-geological conditions and decided to redevelop the vineyard for its utmost potential and produce world-class red wines under the Kapcsandy label. The first two vintages - 2003 and 2004 - were produced by Helen Turley. For 2005 Rob Lawson, the winemaker at Napa Wine Company for the past 16 years, was brought aboard and in 2007, Denis Malbec became the sole winemaking consultant.
