Published 10:00 pm, Friday, October 25, 2002
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Jason Gesser became Washington State's career leader in total offense, and the ninth-ranked Cougars came back in the second half to beat Arizona 21-13 Saturday night.
Gesser completed 20 of 36 passes for 275 yards, including a 16-yard touchdown toss to Devard Darling to put the Cougars ahead 14-13 with 2:04 left in the third quarter.
Jermaine Green rushed for 119 yards in 29 carries. His tackle-breaking, 18-yard touchdown run with 7:37 remaining gave Washington State a 21-13 lead. The game ended with the Cougars on the Wildcats' 3.

Washington State hadn't played in two weeks and seemed more rusty than rested.
Bobby Gill, whose previous long field goal was 26 yards, was successful from 47 and 42 yards for Arizona (3-5, 0-4). His 42-yarder, on a drive kept alive by two Washington State penalties on Arizona punt attempts, gave the Wildcats a 13-8 lead with 4:54 left in the third quarter.
Arizona quarterback Jason Johnson fumbled the ball away twice, once for a safety and another time to set up a Washington State touchdown. He completed 22 of a career-high 46 passes for 224 yards, including a 27-yard scoring pass to Bobby Wade, but was intercepted twice.
The Cougars sacked Johnson seven times. Wade, the Pac-10's leading receiver, caught nine passes for 83 yards.
Washington State squandered several opportunities as Arizona took a 10-5 halftime lead.
Drew Dunning had a 28-yard field-goal try blocked and missed a 45-yarder before finally making one from 22 yards to put the Cougars up 5-3 with 2:45 left in the half.
Wade's 35-yard kickoff return and a 61-yard, seven-play drive put Arizona ahead. Wade sidestepped two tacklers on the 27-yard pass-and-run play that gave the Wildcats a 10-5 lead with 51 seconds left in the half.
Washington State's first score was a safety, when Johnson fumbled into his own end zone. Fred Shavies and Virgil Williams jumped on the ball for the Cougars, but it popped away from them and out of the end zone, giving Washington State a 2-0 lead with 3:57 left in the first quarter.
Arizona drove to the Cougars' 30 and Gill kicked a career-best 46-yard field goal to take a 3-2 lead 6:21 before halftime.
Lance Briggs matched his career high with 16 tackles for the Wildcats.

Dolphin Tale (Rated PG)
Starring Nathan Gamble, Harry Connick, Jr., Ashley Judd, Cozi Zuehlsdorff, Morgan Freeman, Kris Kristofferson
Directed by Charles Martin Smith
Plot: A dolphin must learn to survive after losing her tail in a crab trap.
We live in an age where it’s rare to find an animal movie that doesn’t have the animals talking and spouting off one-liners voiced by comedians and/or Hollywood stars. I think the absence of talking animals was what appealed to me most about Dolphin Tale – well, that and a trailer the pretty much caused me to choke up every time I watched it for nearly six months.
Dolphin Tale is based on a true story. Winter is real and plays herself in the movie. You can log on to seewinter.com and catch her in a live webcam. Her story is absolutely amazing in its own right. Winter was caught in a crab trap and the blood circulation was cut off from her fluke for so long, they had no choice but to remove it. This should have been a death sentence for winter, but she fought back and with the help of a dedicated team at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, she learned to swim without her tail. The problem? She was damaging her spine. In steps Kevin Carroll, a prosthetics designer who designs a special sleeve and a tale for Winter to help her swim correctly. Carroll’s work has gone on to benefit veterans who have lost limbs in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The movie takes this story and weaves it into an inspiring tale about a young boy, withdrawn and friendless, and his relationship with Winter and how that relationship changes them both. Alex (Nathan Gamble) finds Winter on a beach and cuts her free and gets help. Harry Connick, Jr. plays Dr. Clay, the leader of a veterinary team and the head of the Clearwater Marine Hospital. Dr. Clay has a daughter (Cozi Zuehlsdorff) Alex’s age, and the two strike up a friendship as they help Dr. Clay try to save Winter.
Both of the child actors do decent enough job, but it is the Harry Connick, Jr. and Ashley Judd (playing Alex’s mother) that bring emotional heft to the movie. Freeman plays Dr. Cameron McCarthy, a prosthetics doctor at a local VA hospital that designs Winter’s tail. Austin Stowell is also very good as a veteran who finds inspiration in Winter’s story that helps him move past his own injury.
If you didn’t know that this was a true story, it would almost feel too Hollywood to be realistic. Director Charles Martin Smith has brought together a strong ensemble to make a movie you don’t see from Hollywood much anymore – a family film that the entire family can truly enjoy. There are any “jokes” snuck in to entertain the adults that you hope go over the kids’ heads. It’s just a touching drama that will both inspire and have you leaving the theater with a smile on your face.
This movie is also showing in 3D. I saw it in standard format, so I can’t comment on how the 3D helps or hinders the story. If anyone saw it in 3D, feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section.
Dolphin Tale is showing in the Ames area at the Cinemark Movies 12. Opening week showings are listed bellow.

The new and improved entry path to the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade from Downtown Brooklyn is finally rideable. If the rest of the bridge path ever gets a widening and makeover to match this one, it will become one of the great walking and biking connections in New York.
The city first showed a concept for the wider entry path at Tillary Street and Adams Street in 2009 (and the idea for a median bikeway on Adams goes back to 1998). Eight years later, work on this capital project is about to wrap up.
A bit more construction remains to be done at the intersection of Tillary and Adams, but you can tell the new path will be a vast improvement over the old cattle chute.

Senate Democratic leaders, through their spokeswoman, said they were aware of the search.
"The Senate Democratic caucus, its members and staff, will fully comply and cooperate with any request made by the attorney general," Senate Democratic spokeswoman Stacey Witalec said in an e-mailed statement.
Washington was first elected to the legislature in 1993 and served 12 years in the state House of Representatives before being elected to the Senate in 2005. Her district includes northwestern Philadelphia and pockets of Montgomery County, and she serves on four committees, including Aging and Youth, where she is the ranking Democrat. A survivor of domestic violence, she is known for her advocacy against domestic violence, abuse, and rape, and in recent years, she has worked to strengthen child-abuse prevention laws.
Friday's search of Washington's offices does not appear to be related to any other investigation, according to the sources. No other legislative offices were searched, they said.
Investigators typically ask a judge to approve a search warrant to get documents or evidence they suspect will not be surrendered voluntarily or could be destroyed.
It would not be the first time the Attorney General's Office has probed legislators' use of taxpayer resources for political purposes.
In 2007, Gov. Corbett, then state attorney general, began investigating millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded bonuses paid to legislative staffers for political work. The probe came to be known as Bonusgate and spawned several offshoot investigations that landed some of Pennsylvania's top elected officials behind bars, including onetime House speakers John M. Perzel, a Republican from Philadelphia, and Bill DeWeese, a Democrat from Greene County.
Perzel pleaded guilty to charges that he used state money to buy expensive and sophisticated computer programs used to help Republicans win political campaigns. DeWeese was convicted last year on charges that he directed legislative staffers to do campaign work on the taxpayer dime and time.
Separately, onetime Republican State Sen. Jane Orie of Allegheny County was imprisoned last year for using state employees for political purposes. That case was handled by the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office.

Somewhere in a suburb in Kent live five Irish boys who are plotting global domination.
They seem down-to-earth enough, with their boy-next-door good looks and irresistible Irish charm. The neighbours even invite them round for barbecues.
But their ambition shouldn't be underestimated. For they are the latest boy band to emerge from the Emerald Isle and with one UK Top 10 hit under their belts already, they have worldwide fame and success in their sights.
For now though, they are five normal lads who are enjoying their slow transformation into bona fide pop stars. It's something they've been chasing for nearly three years and they're enjoying every minute of it.
After a day of interviews they're still not bored, wandering around the offices of their record company bantering with the staff and each other. It takes a minute to round them up and as the last one, 19-year-old Ryan O'Riain, finally sits down he says: "Lets get the Westlife questions over with then."
To be fair, those who have compared D-Side to Westlife have got a bit to go on. They're both boy bands who got together themselves, not through a manufactured audition process. They're both from Ireland. They've both got five members.
"We get compared to U2 more often," quips 21-year-old Damien Bowe. "No, we do get compared to Westlife a lot, but we take it as a good thing because they've been so successful."
"But when people come to see us live they'll see a completely different show," continues O'Riain. "There's a lot more dancing from us."
"When we started out we would have done anything to have been compared to Westlife, so it's great to hear it," concedes 20-year-old Dane Guiden. "If we follow in their footsteps, excellent - but what we do is very different."
There's another matter that the boys want to get cleared up as well - their supposed rivalry with fellow new boy band on the block, Triple Eight. For a while it looked like the two bands were going head-to-head in a chart battle with their new singles, until Triple Eight's was put back a week to July 21.
"There could be this rivalry between us in the press but we just can't be bothered," says Bowe. "We could have organised a scrap but we haven't. We might do though, get some publicity for the single."
He's joking of course. The two bands have bumped into each other a number of times and get on well. They have a lot to bond over as both are getting used to their new-found fame.
"We're starting to feel like pop stars now," says 19-year-old Shane Creevey.
"When a kid comes up to you and asks you to sign something it's really nice. So is going to parties as well and getting your photo taken."
So you're enjoying the attention then?
"Are you saying we're attention seekers? We're not attention seekers!" bellows Bowe, before relenting. "It is nice. We do enjoy going out in front of a crowd and getting a reaction from them."
"We're so used to going out on a stage and getting a few claps and a `Who?'," adds 18-year-old Derek Moran. "To be getting any reaction now is fantastic."
They've certainly worked hard for it. Creevey and Moran have been dreaming and planning the band since they met at stage school in Dublin.
Once they had decided what sort of band they wanted to be they put the word out among their mates that they were looking for band members. Within a month D-Side were formed.
After coming up with the name because they couldn't `d-side' on a name, they hit the road, performing at every school disco and club that would have them.
"It took us a while to get noticed," says Bowe. "Basically any gig and we'd do it. That lasted about a year.
"We'd do about three or four clubs a night and a lot of the time we did them for free just to get a bit of promotion."
The band's big break came at the beginning of last year, when they were introduced to producers The Ignorants, who have worked with Craig David.
They brought the boys to the attention of Edel Records boss Clive Black. Impressed with their demo, Black hooked them up with New Kids On The Block's old management.
A hit in their native Ireland with the single Stronger Together followed in the summer of last year, then they had their debut UK hit with Speechless earlier this year.
Now they're back with another slinky, up-tempo pop single, the worryingly voyeuristic Invisible (sample lyric: `If I was invisible then I could just watch you in your room'), which the boys insist is innocent.
"It's only pervy if you take it like that," growls Bowe.
Guiden also attempts to defend it. "We're talking about a girl," he starts. "Actually it is a bit pervy."
Here the interview falls apart in a mass of shouting, and not for the first time, as they argue about the meaning of their single. Thankfully, O'Riain suggests we "move swiftly on".
Going rapidly onwards and upwards is also what the boys hope to do with their career.
"We want to go everywhere," says Moran. "We're going to Japan at the end of the year. Then there's America, Australia, Mongolia even. Why not? The whole lot!"

Thinking of Moving Fixed Income AA to CDs. Advice Please
I am not that financially astute and was thinking of moving the 49% of our nest egg that is not equities into laddered CDs. Does anyone have a good reason not to? Of this 49% we have 28% in four bond funds we can place in CDs. Here's the AA of them presently, based on seeing an hourly CFP, a Fidelity advisor and following Bob Brinker's newsletter, however, I'm worried that if interest rates rise we will lose value. Also, High Yield can be volatile and acts more like stocks. Some advisors say that it should be listed in equities in one's AA. Thoughts? Thanks.

One of the stars of a critically acclaimed West End musical has shared his success story with budding performers from Sunderland College.
Talented musical theatre actor Michael Pickering, a star of the hit show Jersey Boys at Sunderland Empire, took a break from rehearsals to pay a visit to the college’s Arts Academy.
He met performing arts students, who are studying BTEC Extended Diploma in Acting and Foundation Degree in Drama programmes, to offer them advice about breaking into the industry, as well as revealing how he made it in the competitive world of acting.
Michael, who is originally from Washington, plays the role of alternate Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys, which portrays the remarkable true story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and their rise to stardom from the wrong side of the tracks.
These four boys from New Jersey became one of the most successful bands in pop history, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and sold 100 million records worldwide, all before they turned 30.
The award-winning musical has been touring across the UK and Ireland, and enjoyed a two-week run at the Sunderland Empire, which ended on Saturday.
Michael, who trained at Arts Educational Schools London, has appeared in the West End as Doody in Grease and his many theatre credits include Jesus Christ Superstar, Three Musketeers, Mamma Mia, High School Musical and Wicked. The former Barnes Junior School and Thornhill School pupil spoke to the students about his own decision to launch a career in musical theatre, as well as sharing tips about casting, auditioning, researching roles and the importance of finding the right performing arts school for them. He said: “Coming to Sunderland College and speaking to the students brought back memories of when I was at school and we were all trying to decide what path we wanted to take.
“It’s an exciting but difficult time as there are so many options and they are still finding themselves.
“I’ve been through everything that they are going through now, and I feel it’s important to share some of my expertise with young performers to help them make some of those difficult decisions.”
The session was held in Sunderland College’s Arts Academy, a state-of-the-art building which opened last September and features a theatre, drama studios, music studios, dance studios, and visual arts, photography, media and graphic design facilities.
Michael added: “The Arts Academy is a brilliant learning space. In order to train students you need to give them the best facilities – they make the students more passionate and it gives them the drive they need to help them succeed in their career.”
Gemma Whelam, performing arts lecturer at Sunderland College, said: “We were thrilled to welcome a West End star to the college and the students gained so much from Michael’s visit.
“He has genuinely inspired our students to follow their dreams, and he offered lots of valuable practical tips which will be very beneficial to them in future.
“At Sunderland College, we organise lots of masterclasses and workshops for our performing arts students throughout the year, and we are hopefully looking forward to welcoming Michael back in the future to lead some musical theatre sessions.”

Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler
I have attempted this book once before. But I found I could not focus at all and I didn't understand anything the characters were talking about. And even though this book is based on Mansfield Park by Jane Austen, which I have yet to read. I still find I could understand almost everything just be reading a few others of Austen's and so many of the movie adaptions.
Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict was such a good book! What Courtney goes through is exactly what I would go through. I could relate to her on all things. In fact most of the time it was like I was in my own imagination after reading one of Jane Austen's books or watching a movie adaption.
I really enjoyed this book and read it in a few hours, late into the night! When I should have been getting my beauty rest for work! But I was just so intrigued. Laurie Viera Rigler does the descriptions so well. Like Courtney's awe of visiting baths and Pemberely and how she quotes different parts of the book.
I do feel like it ended rather abruptly. Feel a little flat for me in the end. I wanted/want more. So I am pretty excited that Laurie wrote Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict, because I am hoping for more and just as good!!
And just a random thing, I LOVE how she describe smells and all the things you don't see in movie adaptions or the things not mentioned in books. Like monthly courses, chamber pots, and bathing. Truly hilarious at times!! Anyways I love reading and things just makes me want to devourer more of Jane Austen's books and become an authentic fan!!

Nitrogen pentafluoride is a theoretical compound of nitrogen and fluorine that is hypothesized to exist based on the existence of the pentafluorides of the atoms below nitrogen in the periodic table, such as phosphorus pentafluoride. Theoretical models of the nitrogen pentafluoride (NF5) molecule are either a trigonal bipyramidal covalently bound molecule with symmetry group D3h, or NF+
4F−, which would be an ionic solid. Also, a related compound NH+
4F− is known.
Nitrogen pentafluoride Wikipedia
In 1966 W. E. Tolberg first synthesized a five valent nitrogen compound of nitrogen and fluorine when tetrafluoroammonium compounds, tetrafluoroammonium heaxafluoroantimonate NF4SbF6 and tetrafluoroammonium heaxafluoroarsenate NF4AsF6 were made. In 1971 C. T. Goetschel announced the preparation of NF4BF4 and also produced a white solid assumed to be tetrafluoroammonium fluoride (NF+
4F−). This was made by treating nitrogen trifluoride and fluorine with 3MeV electron radiation at 77K. It decomposed above 143K back into those ingredients. Theoretical studies also show the ionic compound is very likely to decompose to nitrogen trifluoride and fluorine gas.
Karl O. Christe synthesised bis(tetrafluoroammonium) hexafluoronickelate (NF4)2NiF6. He also prepared compounds with manganese, a fluorouranate, a perchlorate, a fluorosulfate and N2F+
3 salts. Christe attempted to make NF4F by metathesis of NF4SbF6 with CsF in HF solvent at 20 °C. However, a variant, tetrafluoroammonium bifluoride (NF4HF2·nHF), was produced. At room temperature it was a milky liquid, but when cooled turned pasty. At −45 °C it had the form of a white solid. When reheated it frothed, giving off F2, HF and NF3 as gases. This has CAS number 71485-49-9.
I. J. Solomon believed that nitrogen pentafluoride was produced by the thermal decomposition of NF4AsF6, but experimental results were not reproduced.
Dominik Kurzydłowski and Patryk Zaleski-Ejgierd predict that a mixture of fluorine and nitrogen trifluoride under pressure between 10 and 33 GPa forms NF+
4F− with space group R3m. This is a high pressure oxidation. Over 33 GPa it will form a stable ionic compound with formula (NF+
6F– with space group I4/m. Over 151 GPa this is predicted to transform to NF+
6 with space group P4/n. A NF5 molecular compound is not stable under any pressure conditions.
For a NF5 molecule to form, five fluorine atoms have to be arranged around a nitrogen atom. There is insufficient space to do this in the most compact way, so that bond lengths are forced to be longer. Calculations show that the NF5 molecule is thermodynamically favourably inclined to form NF4 and F radicals with energy 36 kJ/mol and a transition barrier around 67–84 kJ/mol. Nitrogen pentafluoride also violates the octet rule in which compounds with eight outer shell electrons are particularly stable.

The 7-foot Embiid and the 6-foot-2 Rozier had to be separated after a spat late in the second quarter of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference playoff series that resulted in technical fouls assessed to both players. Boston's Jaylen Brown and coach Brad Stevens were whistled for technicals late in the third and the Sixers capitalized with two free throws and an Embiid dunk that had rapper Meek Mill standing. Boston will face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the conference finals for the second straight year.
Game 7 (if necessary): Cleveland at Boston, Sunday, May 27 at 8:30 p.m. Embiid then got the line for a 102-100 game with 4:08 on the clock and Saric rattled home a 3-pointer for a one-point lead with 3:25 to play. Simmons had 18 points, eight rebounds, six assists, and one block. The Sixers are trying to be the first. The Philadelphia 76ers are looking to stave off elimination and come one step closer to making history.
The 76ers edged out the Celtics by 18 points in McConnell's 39 minutes of playing time, giving the stouthearted point guard a team-best plus-38 plus-minus in this Eastern Conference Semifinals series.
Marcus Smart went from potential goat to hero very quickly for the Boston Celtics Wednesday night. Against the Heat, the Sixers hit about 36 percent of their 3-pointers (57 of 157) in the five games. It'll be interesting to see what adjustments the Celtics have for the diminutive one.
After Rozier inadvertently referred to Bledsoe as "Drew Bledsoe", the former New England Patriots quarterback, when speaking to the media, Bledsoe repeatedly insisted to reporters that he didn't know Rozier's name.
Here's a video of Embiid dejectedly leaving the TD Garden court.

The NBA's playoff pool for this season is $20 million, and here's a look at how much the four remaining teams have made so far in this postseason - along with a look at what they could get.
"It [stinks], but we got to learn from it and come back and do better", Embiid said. They'd get $3,993,173 if they reach The Finals and lose, $5,188,122 if they win the championship.
Other coaches to receive votes were Brett Brown, Mike D'Antoni, Nate McMillan, Gregg Popovich, Doc Rivers, Quin Snyder and Terry Stotts.
Down 111-109 with 15 seconds left, the Sixers worked the ball inside to star center Joel Embiid, but Aron Baynes defended him well, and he missed a contested layup. TIP-INS Celtics: G Shane Larkin left with a left shoulder injury in the first quarter. Philadelphia opened as a 1-point favorite, but Boston now is laying 1.5.
Boston had led by as many as 12 in the second half, but here were the defiant Sixers, seemingly poised to send the best-of-seven series back to South Philadelphia. Tatum and Utah's Donovan Mitchell are the only two National Basketball Association rookies with seven straight playoff games of at least 20 points since Julius Erving did it in 1972.

Could an RFID Tag Be Read Through a Locomotive's Metal Structure?
I have a query regarding RFID functionality: Imagine that an omnidirectional 2.4 GHz active RFID reader is stationed within a locomotive cab, which is mostly metal-shielded, with little area of glass window, and an active RFID tag is attached to a wayside railway traffic signal post. My question is this: Would that reader be able to interrogate RF signals without hindrance?
It's unlikely that you would be able to read the tag through the metal. I would suggest placing the reader on the outside of the train.

suggest that it is rather easier to discover what Ada compilers are available

The revival of the legendary Italian performance brand was further accelerated by De Tomaso’s Monday unveiling of the P900 hypercar.
The P72 supercar, a show-stopper powered by a Roush-tuned Ford V-8, marked the beginning of it in 2019.
The V-12-powered P900 hypercar was unveiled as a follow-up by the contemporary De Tomaso. The design is obviously inspired by the P72, but the new rear section has a roof scoop, stabilizer fin, and enormous wing to give the impression of a race car, fueling rumors that De Tomaso is considering entering its own LMH in top-tier endurance racing.
The P900, in contrast to the P72, which was created as a grand tourer, is targeted at track enthusiasts, according to the company, which is keeping details under wraps. The 6.2-liter, 888-horsepower V-12 in the P900 is a special design, according to the manufacturer. There will also be a V-10 available, developed by Judd, a former supplier of power units for Formula 1.
Only 18 P900s, each costing $3 million, will be produced by De Tomaso. The car will debut next summer and production is slated to start in 2024.Prior to that, the main focus is on the P72, which is scheduled to be released in 2023 and will be produced in a batch of 72 vehicles at a plant that will be jointly run by De Tomaso and the German engineering firm Capricorn Group at the Nürburgring. Capricorn is the same company that worked with Porsche to develop the highly successful 919 Hybrid LMP1 race car. Capricorn also assisted in the development of the carbon-fiber monocoque structure that supports the P72 and, presumably, the P900.


Last year, news broke that top US gun manufacturer Sturm Ruger was working with Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT) to create a completely new line of fixed blade and folding knives that would be licensed under the Ruger name. The knives would be designed by top knifemakers like RMJ Tactical, Robert Carter, and Bill Harsey – to name a few – and would be intended for every day carry, hunting, and tactical use. It wasn’t until the knives started hitting the market earlier this year that we really got an understanding for what they are intended to be. More specifically, roughed up!
The line is made up of eleven new designs, with a total of twenty-five possible configurations. All of the knives are made from either 8Cr13MoV or 8Cr14MoV blade steel which features a hardness of 58-59 HRC, is fairly corrosion resistant and will hold a good edge for a decent amount of time. Ten of the eleven knives are stonewashed to increase both corrosion and abrasion resistance, and none of them resemble the other, save for the Go-N-Heavy and the 2-Stage folders which both have a compact counterpart.
Gear Institute was given the opportunity to look over the line to see what these new knives were all about and overall; we were impressed. Not only was each knife unique in form and function, but they were all made from common and relied upon materials, which helped keep retail prices down and thus make them more accessible to more people as well.
Out of the line, two knives really stuck out based on their design, the way they felt when put to work, and their intended use.
2-STAGE: COMPACT (Folder)
The 2-Stage: Compact is a flipper-style knife that is big, thick, and anything but compact. Designed by knife maker Robert Carter, who is known for his unique, work-horse style designs, the 2-Stage: Compact is 8.5” in total length and features a 3.5” black-stonewash tanto style blade. Its body is comprised of a slab of aluminum and a slab of steel that has the frame lock mechanism cut into it. With the blade coming in at 5/32” thick, this knife doesn’t only look aggressive – but it truly is aggressive. Oh, and the glass breaker/back spacer really does work. Shhh. Retail: $69.95
ACCURATE – Drop Point (Fixed Blade)
The Accurate is a full tang, fixed-blade hunting knife that is pretty to look at and easy to use. Designed by award winning knife maker, Bill Harsey, the Accurate is well-balanced and comes in at around 9” long. It features a 4.40” long satin finished, drop point blade that slides through a variety of different materials with ease. The contoured handle features an over-sized guard and rubber over-molded inserts that work together to keep your hand in place during all types of work. The Accurate comes with a black, ballistic nylon belt sheath. Retail: $99.95
If I had to describe the whole line of Ruger Knives by CRKT in a single word, I couldn’t. I’m overly impressed to see a complete line of knives that share common materials but are all so unique to one another. Which is actually quite common to a company like CRKT who utilizes top knifemakers and designers for a majority of their knives. If pressed, I would call these knives affordable and utilitarian as they top out around $100, are built to last, and are easy to maintain. They’re not the type of knife that you’d stick up on a shelf to admire – they’re far too aggressive for that. It seems that Ruger knives were designed to be put to work, so feel free to treat them a little rough. They can take it.

Ireland never looked out of control in Dublin as they beat defending Six Nations champions Wales 26-3. Johnny Sexton was on fine form, kicking two early penalties and converting Chris Henry's try, before Paddy Jackson came on and rubbed salt in the wound with a converted try of his own.

If there's one thing worse than being told that you're acting immature, it's being told when playing rugby, on TV and in front of millions of people. That's what happened to Mike Brown and Yoann Huget when they got in a tussle during Saturday's game in Paris.
Nigel Owens intervened, and while a lot of people don't like the way that he tends to command the spotlight at times, there's no doubting that he's one of the very best referees in world rugby.
That post actually sparked one of the most entertaining comment/discussion threads on here in a while, so have a read through that if you have some time - there are some great stories from players who have been told off in weird and wonderful ways by referees.
On Saturday fullback Brown and wing Huget got into what could have been a bit of an incident, especially in this day and age with TMO's involved, slow-mo replays exaggerating things and commentators tending to overact occasionally.
In this situation Huget did push his head into Brown but it was innocuous at best, and Owens' handling of it was a breath of fresh air, and pretty funny too. "You finished? You're both acting very immature. Get on and get on with the game, both of you," he said as he diffused the tension.
There was actually a great moment with Wayne Barnes a few years back when he controlled two overzealous forwards with ease, reminding them of their place in the grand scheme of things. View that here - Wayne Barnes laying down the law to Corry and Borthwick

England took heart from their narrow loss to France last weekend and have been in camp preparing for Scotland and the Calcutta Cup. Hosted by the brilliant Alex Payne, this latest episode of O2 Inside Line gives superb insight and build up for the match.
Despite the loss to the French at the weekend, England have kept faith in the same starting XV for this Saturday's Murrayfield clash with Scotland.
"It's good to be able to select the same players and they are all determined to put last week's result behind us and build on the performance," said head coach Stuart Lancaster.
"Scotland will be hugely motivated by their defeat in Dublin and, as we found two years ago, Murrayfield is a tough place to play," he added.
England have won the last four Calcutta Match encounters but will be wary of a Scotland team that contain the likes of Stuart Hogg, who is always willing to attack from deep. In this week's O2 Inside Line Player Analysis features Hogg himself, as they look at ways to cut down his space.
There's also a look back at a great bit of play by Billy Vunipola, and then Player Cam gives us a look into a gym session, where Brad Barritt casually bench presses roughly 120kg's.
There is good banter between the players when they talk about who would play them in a film, and then we learn about the Head of Stadium Events for the RFU, Nigel Cox, and what his role involves.
Kickoff at Murrayfield on Saturday is at 5pm (local)
Mike Brown, Jack Nowell, Luther Burrell, Billy Twelvetrees, Jonny May, Owen Farrell, Danny Care, Joe Marler, Dylan Hartley, Dan Cole, Joe Launchbury, Courtney Lawes, Tom Wood, Chris Robshaw, Billy Vunipola Replacements: Tom Youngs, Mako Vunipola, Henry Thomas, Dave Attwood, Ben Morgan, Lee Dickson, Brad Barritt, Alex Goode
Stuart Hogg, Tommy Seymour, Alex Dunbar, Matt Scott, Sean Lamont, Duncan Weir, Greig Laidlaw, Ryan Grant, Ross Ford, Moray Low, Tim Swinson, Jim Hamilton, Ryan Wilson, Chris Fusaro, David Denton Replacements: Scott Lawson, Alasdair Dickinson, Geoff Cross, Jonny Gray, Johnnie Beattie, Chris Cusiter, Duncan Taylor, Max Evans

Springbok Rugby have put together the nominees for the Supersport Try of the Year Award for 2013. The list features some fantastic tries scored at Test, Super Rugby and Currie Cup level. The winner will be announced at a function on 12 February.
There are some brilliant tries featured in the video, which unfortunately starts quite abruptly for some reason and doesn't mention the try-scorers, but it's pretty easy to see who is who.
The first four are counter-attacking tries by the Springboks, scored by Zane Kirchner against Australia, Bryan Habana vs the All Blacks, Jean De Villiers against Wales and JP Pietersen against Scotland after a great bit of play by the outstanding Willie Le Roux.
Super Rugby kicks off on Feb 15th so join and make your picks in our Superbru pool!
The next four are from Super Rugby, featuring Jano Vermaak, Lwazi Mvovo, Pat Lambie and Riaan Smit. In the Currie Cup Rocco Jansen and Gio Aplon were both superb with great solo efforts.
The other big award to be decided soon is the SA Rugby Player of the Year, with Jean de Villiers, Bismarck du Plessis, Eben Etzebeth, Willie le Roux and Duane Vermeulen in the running. Young Player of the Year, Team of the Year, and Coach of the Year will also be announced. All awards»
UPDATE 12-01-2014 : Jean De Villiers' try against Wales was named Best Try
Which try would you say should be named as the best?

Ireland scored three tries as they started their 2014 Six Nations campaign with a comfortable 28-6 win over Scotland in Dublin earlier today. While Scotland showed flashes of class at times, they never really tested the Irish.
While things were fairly even in the first half, with Ireland leading just 6-3 a few minutes before the break, a try by Andrew Trimble on the stroke of half time gave them an 11-3 cushion.
Man of the Match Jamie Heaslip came close to scoring earlier in the half after a brilliant Jonny Sexton break, but was out by inches in the corner. He crossed in the second though, and Ireland were on course to right the wrongs of last season.
Rob Kearney added a third try ten minutes from time, on the occasion of his 50th Testm while brother Dave came close minutes from the final whistle after a Paddy Jackson chip.
Scotland will need to lift themselves again when they host England in a week, while Ireland will look to upset Six Nations champions Wales, also at home in Dublin.
Full highlights will be slotted in here as soon as they're available. For now, here are quick highlights, and you can view the Sexton break and Heaslip chance on page two of this post

France started and finished well as they snatched a dramatic 26-24 victory against England after trailing with just minutes remaining in Paris. Young Gael Fickou came on to replace battering ram Mathieu Bastareaud and scored the decisive try at the death.
England appeared to have a famous away victory in the bag before things slipped with minutes to go, and a defensive lapse, combined with French flair, saw them leave Paris with little more than pride in a strong performance.
France got off to the perfect start when Yoann Huget touched down after just 30 seconds. He scored again on 17 minutes, before a Mike Brown try game England something to fight for, then a brilliant bit of play by Billy Vunipola set up their second try.
Trailing with just three minutes left, France put together a superb passage of play that eventually led to replacement hooker Dimitri Szarzewski setting up replacement centre Fickou. Scores were tied, and the easiest of conversions gave France the lead, and with time almost up, the win.
England coach Stuart Lancaster praised the character of his players though. "I thought the boys showed incredible character, resilience and a lot of skill to put ourselves in a position to win it.
"It was a great performance in lots of ways. We're very proud. Once we get over the initial disappointment we'll take a huge amount of positives from the game."
French coach Philippe Saint Andre said that it was anything but a complete French performance.
"We were the first and the last to shoot but we suffered physically in the second half, we missed a lot of tackles. There's a lot of work to do still but what we'll have to remember is the victory, the smiles on the players' face after the game. It's a great sign for the season 2014," he said.

Defending Six Nations champions Wales weren't as convincing as they would have liked to be but managed to hold off a determined Italy side in Cardiff, winning 23-15 after leading 17-3 at halftime thanks to tries by Alex Cuthbert and Scott Williams.
Young Italian back Michele Campagnaro had a fantastic game for the visitors, scoring two tries which resulted in his Man of the Match award despite being on the losing side.
Wales are after a third consecutive Six Nations title but will need to lift the standards again when they travel to Dublin to face Ireland next weekend.
"I thought we were positive in terms of our attacking play but Italy were dogged and competed pretty hard all game," Wales coach Warren Gatland said post match.
"Defensively I thought our structure was pretty good. Italy made it tough for us.
"I think in the past when we have come under pressure like that we might not have had the composure to finish it off but we did today. We're champions and every team is going to come at us and make it tough."
As Italy threatened to get back into the match, Leigh Halfpenny's boot kept the hosts out in front.
