SUV Drives Into D.C. Office Building, Driver May Have Been Doused In Gasoline, Reports Say (UPDATED)
WASHINGTON -- Police in the nation's capital, along with the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, are investigating an incident where a SUV may have been intentionally driven into a downtown office building Friday night.
WRC-TV/NBC 4 reports:
Sources told News4's Jackie Bensen that the interior of the SUV as well as the driver had been deliberately doused with gasoline.The FBI and a bomb squad went to the scene.
D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray was also on the scene, Bensen tweeted.
The building in question, according to Bensen, is 1050 Connecticut Ave. NW, a large office block called Washington Square that stretches the length of L Street NW between Connecticut Avenue and 18th Street NW.
The street-level retail includes a Men's Wearhouse, Victoria's Secret, Verizon Wireless, The Art of Shaving and J.R. Cigars. Morton's Steakhouse occupies a second-floor space fronting Connecticut Avenue. The Arent Fox law firm is one of the building's tenants.
Bensen reported during WRC-TV's 11 p.m. newscast that around 7:45 p.m., an SUV drove in between steel bollards that line the sidewalk outside the Washington Square lobby and ended up inside the building.
WJLA-TV/ABC7 reported that the SUV hit an ATM and that the driver was taken to a hospital with minor injuries. The news station reported that Metropolitan Police Department Chief Cathy Lanier said that the Joint Terrorism Task Force was asked to investigate the situation "out of abundance of caution" because it appears the SUV was driven intentionally into the building.
WTOP-FM's Michelle Basch indicates that police believe the SUV had been stolen and that the gas inside the vehicle was from a canister "simply been left there by the car's owner."
One of the Farragut North Metrorail station's entrances at L Street NW is closed, but according to a D.C. Alert sent out around 8:45 p.m., Red Line operations were not impacted. Metro reports that other entrances remain open.
Streets adjacent to the office building were closed but were expected to reopen around midnight.

Update: SB Conn closed at L street, both directions on L street closed/ 4053

brazilian, jiujitsu, martial art, techn - Your Personal Brazilian JiuJitsu ...
A combination of Japanese Martial Arts and Kodokan judo, Brazilian jiujitsu was brought into limelight in 1990 when Royce Gracie, a Brazilian jiujitsu expert won the first, second and forth Ultimate Fighting Championships. Royce Gracie-s winnings have led to many MMA fighters to start training this martial art and it has become the key to other fighters- winnings as well.
This martial art involves many ground fighting techniques. It also includes submission holds, such as joint-locks and chokeholds. This type of jiujitsu actually allows smaller and weaker opponents to hold their own against bigger and stronger opponents, and even help them actually win the match through moves and techniques that capitalize on leverage. When it comes to self-defense techniques in martial arts, Brazilian jiujitsu comes highly recommended.
There are two trainings involved: sparring and alive drilling play. Sparring is also known as rolling and it differs from alive drilling play in the fact that the opponents are bound by rules. These rules make sure there are lesser injuries. Alive drilling play is more spontaneous and dynamic, not really scripted or governed by rules. This martial art normally ends up with fighters pinning their opponents to the ground in order to defeat them. The opponent could be tackled to the ground by wrapping one-s legs around him - this is known as the guard position. It is very effective in limiting the opponent into making any counter moves or counter attacks. Unlike judo, Brazilian jiujitsu fight takes place mostly on the ground and it includes a lot of grappling, as this offsets the power and strength of the stronger fighter and gives the chance to the weaker fighters.
Fighters are ranked in Brazilian jiujitsu with the use of belts - quite similar to judo, really - with white as the lowest rank and red as the highest. In between, there-s the blue, purple, brown, black, and black-and-red belts. Reaching the red belt will take one lots of years, practice and a ton of discipline on the part of the martial art practitioner. For example, if someone started training this martial art at the age of 19, he/she can receive the red belt when they are 67 years old the earliest. Of course, that means all the intervening years have to be spent training in the art. Kids- ranking are slightly different, though, because they start with white, then grey, yellow, orange, and green, the highest ranking.
Aside from being a martial art, Brazilian jiujitsu is also a sport. People look at this martial art as a way or means to not only harness one-s body but also build up one-s character. It is regarded as a way of life or Do and thus belongs to a group of other martial arts, such as aikido, judo, karate, kendo and etc.
The uniform in Brazilian jiujitsu is called Gi, just like the judogi in judo. However, gi is tighter at the bottom of the trouser and jackets, so no extra fabric would obstruct any movement. Kimono is also another term used for the uniform.

Price is Right Unveils Brand New Game ... - Tv Food and Drink
The Price is Right introduced their newest pricing game on this morning?s show (Thanks to Alex and Buzzerblog for the tip).
?Doublecross? is a two-prize game. Contestants must slide ?highlight boxes? across a series of digits populating an X grid until the correct prices of both prizes are highlighted at the same time, while intersecting one another through a single, mutual digit.
Sound easy?
As is often the case with the debut of a new game, it didn?t go off quite as well as producers might have hoped. The only problem I really have with it is that the contestant is positioned directly in front of the X-grid while playing, and this blocks some of the available numbers from the camera, killing the home viewer?s chance to play along. And contestant Janice was rather tiny. What happens if a 6-foot two hundred pound linebacker from UCSB is called up from Contestant?s Row to play?
Check out the video below and decide for yourself. Do you want to see more DoubleCross on Price?

India:Bt technology helps India turn into net exporter of cotton
The introduction of Bt cotton technology in India has helped the country increase its cotton production and turn into a net exporter of the cash-rich crop from being a net importer of the same, according to a field study report.
The report titled ?Socio-economic impact assessment of Bt cotton in India? states that the use of hybrid Bt cotton seeds has increased cotton production in the country by more than 9 percent.
Based on the field study undertaken in nine-cotton growing states of India, namely Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, the report states that the area under cotton cultivation has grown by 4.91 percent during the past decade.
The study was jointly conducted by a farmers? organization ? Bharat Krishak Samaj ? and a research institute ? Council for Social Development.
The report concludes that the use of Bt cotton seeds, along with better prices and lower pesticide use, has helped cotton growers to increase their productivity, and in turn, bag higher returns.
Mr. Ajay Jakhar, Chairman of Bharat Krishak Samaj, said the report highlights that India?s cotton exports have increased by over 75 percent during 2002-2009 period owing to the use of Bt cotton seeds.
He said the use of Bt cotton has transformed India from a net importer of the crop to a net exporter of the crop.
He said some incidents of farmer suicides were due to factors like fluctuating cotton prices, lack of irrigation facilities and non-availability of timely credit, and not due to the use of hybrid cotton seeds.
Mr. T Haque of Council for Social Development said the study also found that the use of Bt cotton has resulted in reduced expenses on pesticides over the years.
