Veteran Indians grapplers overwhelm Warhawks in opening border battle
Falls wins first seven matches in 54-18 victory
Germantown wrestling coach Casey Gabrielson summed up his team's opening night, 54-18, rout at the hands of border rival Menomonee Falls on Nov. 28 thusly:
"It was like men against boys in a lot of cases and, in that situation, men are always going to win," he said.
And that it was, as the Indians, with returning state place-winner Bill Holz leading the way, claimed the first seven matches and never looked back.
Indians coach Jim McMahon downplayed the meaning of the impressive win, but was still pleased with the effort.
"We're still young," he said. "We're still putting together a set lineup and we have a lot of competitive spots yet."
McMahon, whose team sent its varsity to the Slinger Invitational and its junior varsity to the Nicolet Invite on Saturday (see Sports Wrapups), have increased numbers (53) and a great many veteran wrestlers back.
Along with Holz at 126, Alooya Olapo is another returning state qualifier who competed at 195 pounds this particular evening.
"The numbers are great for us," McMahon said. "It's the Junior Indians' program starting to pay dividends for us. We're going to get everyone a match on Saturday, as we'll send our freshmen up to Plymouth. It's a nice group this year, with a lot of good kids and good parents."
Warhawks have youth
Meanwhile, Gabrielson has about 44 wrestlers out this season.
In a good news/bad news situation about half the team is freshmen. The Warhawks will build around returning state qualifier Hunter Higginbotham, who's competing at 285 pounds this season. Brandon Goesch, who narrowly missed out on a state berth last season and who is competing at 138 and Tyler Baran at 160, will also help.
"This will probably be the poorest group we'll have in the next four years but it will get better," Gabrielson said. "Just hats off to Falls tonight, they were as good as we thought they were. Maybe a (state) top 10 team."
Both coaches admitted that the starting point of the match, at 113 pounds, was most advantageous to the Indians.
"I think I won a lottery tonight," laughed McMahon. "It was the perfect place for us to start."
"When I saw that draw, I pretty much knew any chance at us getting any early momentum was out the window," Gabrielson said. "We started in the heart of the lineup. It was like going down 21-0 in a football game, just very hard to recover from."
Falls victories pile up
Falls started the match in a "no-quarter" fashion, as Aaron Daly at 113 (pin 0:52), Holz's freshman brother, Jerrot, at 120 (pin 1:48), Bill Holz at 126 (technical fall 4:17), Casey Crangle at 132 (pin 4:51), Austin Meyers at 138 (8-4 decision), Sam Schwabenlander at 145 (7-5 decision) and Jon Haririe at 152 (6-0 decision), all earned victories.
The score was 32-0 before Baran recorded a pin in 2:15 at 160 pounds for the Warhawks' first win.
Of those wins, McMahon was most impressed with the effort of Meyers, as it came against Goesch. He gave up the first takedown but then rallied.
"We had circled that match," McMahon said. "It was a very nice win for Austin."
Falls reasserted itself after Baran's pin, as Jake Fuitten at 170 (3:25) and Alex Koch at 182 (1:21) pinned their opponents with strong throws. Olapo, probably wrestling up a class at 195, then overpowered Germantown's Steve Asmondy with a 15-6 major decision.
Germantown earned pins from Joe Zizzo at 220 (1:17) and Higginbotham at 285 (0:19) before Falls Ian Virlee closed out the match with a pin against Warhawks freshman Zack Szohr at 106 (4:50).
The win for Virlee was significant because Szohr is a five-time state youth champion, but as he weighs only about 82 pounds, he was simply outmuscled by the larger Virlee.
"He was very nervous going into that match," Gabrielson said, "but I'm not worried about him. We'll work on some technique issues and I think he'll be fine in a couple of weeks."
"We were just too young tonight. We made a lot of middle school mistakes. We did do some good things but we have a lot of work to do."
Germantown also lost to to North Shore rival Whitefish Bay (45-27) on Nov. 29 and took part in the Kiel Duals on Saturday (see Sports Wrapups).
McMahon also praised the work of Virlee and Fuiten. He said the Indians are just getting started on what he hopes is a successful campaign.
"We also have a lot of work to do," McMahon said.

The Antitrust Economics of Two-Sided Markets
David S. Evans
Global Economics Group; University College London
November 2, 2002
"Two-sided" markets have two different groups of customers that businesses have to get on board to succeed - there is a "chicken-and-egg" problem that needs to be solved. These industries range from dating clubs (men and women), to video game consoles (game developers and users), to credit cards (cardholders and merchants), and to operating system software (application developers and users). They include some of the most important industries in the economy.
Two-sided firms behave in ways that seem surprising from the vantage point of traditional industries, but in ways that seem like plain common sense once one understands the business problems they must solve. Prices do not and prices cannot follow marginal costs in each side of the market. Price levels, price structures, and investment strategies must optimize output by harvesting the indirect network effects available on both sides. By doing so, businesses in two-sided industries get both sides on board and solve the chicken-and-egg problem. There is no basis for asking regulators or antitrust enforcers to steer clear of these industries or to spend extra effort on them. The antitrust analysis of these industries, however should heed the economic principles that govern pricing and investment decisions in these industries.

Comments: So let me tell u a little somethin about this lure, if u are looking for a jerkbait tht catches fish and the paint dont wear down then this is one for u! I have been fishing a pond near my house for almost two years and i thoght i caught all the fish to were i could name them but today it was the first time i used this lure there and in the first five minutes i caught a 8 pound monster largemout on it, i usually ony catch 14 inch bass out of there ad it felt like a dream when i landed the fish it was so big!!
Comments: tested several colours of the standard bomber long 14 a especially for pikeperch (similar to walleye) in the river rhine. very nice action, several ways to fish. reeled in, with little twitches, stop and go - whatever the fish like at the moment. also strong twitches give a nice feedback by the bait and than it makes northern pike crazy. one of my top 5 hardbaits for pikeperch.
From: Patrick: Neuss, Germany
Comments: catches fish everywhere. from lakes in the valley to the delta. awesome bait
Comments: Wow it was crazy . Caught like 5 stripers in 20 minutes and they basically hook themselves . Very fun and good lure . I use the clown design

Undoubtedly, 140mm of trail-smoothing travel will redefine the way that you ride, and that's just what you'll find Fox Racing Shox packed into this 32 Float 26in 140 CTD Fork.
Long-time Fox riders will immediately notice Fox's Climb, Trail, Descend damper adjustments. And there's no need to worry, you're still getting the same adjustments to high- and low-speed compression, only it's now packaged in a more user-friendly format. Climb mode provides the most damping for a near locked-out feel. Meanwhile, it still provides a bit of cushion for any unexpected hard hits. Click the damper into the Trail mode, and you'll find that there's ample low-speed compression in order to keep the fork riding high in the travel through berms, jumps, and rocks. Better yet, it still provides plenty of compliance in order to smooth out the ride. And, as you may have guessed, Descend mode provides the lightest compression damping for a plush ride.
Depending on your tastes, many riders simply find the trail setting that works best for them, and don't feel the need to make on-the-fly adjustments. However, the CTD lever is easily accessible for those of you whose ride isn't complete until you've flipped your suspension levers a few dozen times. And best of all, those options are presented in a way that makes each adjustment instinctive. This way, you don't need a degree in fluid dynamics in order to correctly tune your suspension.
The 32 chassis is something of a classic in the Fox lineup, and it's easy to see why. At just over four pounds, this fork is downright svelte. Better yet, it's strong enough to ride rough trails day- in and day-out. This is thanks in part to the massive tapered steerer tube, which fights flex under hard braking. And speaking of stiffness, Fox uses Shimano's 15mm QR axle assembly, which provides both added stiffness and increased security over a traditional 9mm QR skewer.
The Fox Racing Shox 32 Float 26in 140 CTD Fork is available in the color Black and with a 1.5-inch tapered steerer tube. Additionally, it is only compatible with 15QR thru-axles.

January's best buys
Our Nick Hext has picked out the best of the deals from the January transfer window in the top four divisions of English football.
- Related Content
There were plenty of moves in the January window but only some players look like making a major impact for their new club both in the long and short-term.
Here are my best four from the Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two with a few who just failed to make the cut listed below.
Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea to Liverpool, undisclosed)
It has already been a strong start to life at Anfield for the 23-year-old with four goals in six games since his move at the start of the transfer window. The super strike in Sunday's 2-2 draw at Manchester City is still fresh in the mind and the forward can only improve as he's given a run of games from the start. Him linking up with Luis Suarez is already making the Reds a greater attacking threat - the duo have bagged eight of the club's 14 goals since Sturridge's arrival - and that is key if Brendan Rodgers' dreams of a revival are to come true.
Win £70 from your free £10 bet if Liverpool finish in the top four
Jack Butland (Birmingham to Stoke, undisclosed)
Stoke fans won't get to watch Butland in action until the start of next season but there is plenty to look forward to with a move that "ticked all the boxes" for the 19-year-old goalkeeper. The England international stays between the posts for Birmingham until the end of the campaign - definitely a good thing with Asmir Begovic very solid as Potters number one - and that extra experience at St Andrew's will only help him. Gary Neville highlighted this as the pick of the January transfers and it's hard to disagree that the former Cheltenham loanee has a huge future at the top level. It will certainly be interesting in the summer if Butland's arrival signals a move to a side in the Champions League for Begovic.
Moussa Sissoko (Toulouse to Newcastle, undisclosed)
- Premier League
|A Villa
- last updated 03/02 17:55
The midfielder has already proved his worth to the Magpies with two goals in the weekend's 3-2 victory over Chelsea. Five players made the move from France's Ligue 1 to St James' Park during January and it's Sissoko who's made the quickest impact, although Mathieu Debuchy and Yoan Gouffran have also been given early chances to impress. Newcastle's two wins in a row have given their bid to avoid relegation a massive boost and Alan Pardew must hope more of the same from the former Toulouse man will continue the upturn in form. It's very much early days in England for the 23-year-old but you can't argue with how things have gone so far.
Christopher Samba (Anzhi to QPR, undisclosed)
Hopefully this selection will prove to be better than last January when I extolled the virtues of QPR's signings of Bobby Zamora and Nedum Onuoha. This is certainly a deal that pushed the boat out for QPR but something had to be done with a very weak defence even weaker after Ryan Nelsen's decision to up sticks for the MLS. Julio Cesar can't be expected to keep the Loftus Road outfit up by himself - despite his best efforts so far - and the club-record acquisition of Samba does given the survival bid a real boost. It's still a big ask with a six-point gap to safety but - in Harry's Redknapp's words - having a centre-half who's "great in the air, quick, a leader, strong, fantastic in both boxes" can only help.
Win £30 from your free £10 bet if QPR win at Swansea this weekend
Best of the rest: Lewis Holtby (Schalke to Tottenham, undisclosed); Nacho Monreal (Malaga to Arsenal, undisclosed); Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace to Manchester United, undisclosed)
Chris Wood (West Brom to Leicester, undisclosed)
- Championship
- last updated 03/02 20:06
By far the easiest of the top picks from any of the divisions. Wood has already scored seven goals for the Foxes with a double on his debut in the 6-1 victory over Huddersfield on New Year's Day continuing straight on from a fabulous loan spell at Millwall. The striker bagged 11 goals during his time at the Lions for the first half of the season and that was more than enough to persuade Nigel Pearson to add the New Zealand international to his squad. Expect the 21-year-old to carry on finding the back of the net for the rest of the campaign and that should be enough to take Leicester to promotion and more than justify an outlay of around £1million to West Brom for the 21-year-old.
Win £85 from your free £10 bet if Wood is the top goalscorer
Jeremy Helan (Manchester City to Sheffield Wednesday, loan)
This loan return is an unexpected boost for Wednesday after boss Dave Jones was resigned to the midfielder making a permanent switch to Watford. That deal didn't happen and the Owls refused to wait as the Frenchman arrived back at Hillsborough before the end of the transfer window. Helan impressed during his 16 appearances in his initial spell in Yorkshire and can do more as he bids to help the club avoid relegation to League One.
Kevin Phillips (Blackpool to Crystal Palace, loan)
Wilfried Zaha attracted plenty of headlines during January before his deal to join Manchester United at the end of the season was agreed but could an old timer be the man to fire the Eagles to the Premier League? Phillips said "maybe I'll have another year in the Premier League" after arriving at Selhurst Park and Ian Holloway is certainly the man to get the best out of the 39-year-old after the pair enjoyed plenty of success together at Blackpool. The former England international has only scored two goals during the current campaign but his goal threat remains and that will be crucial for Palace at the business end of the season.
Win £250 from your free £10 bet if Crystal Palace win the Championship
Matthew Upson (Stoke to Brighton, loan)
Remember back to the last World Cup when England were knocked out in the last 16 with a convincing 4-1 defeat against Germany? Nine of England's starting XI that day find themselves still playing for Liverpool (Glen Johnson and Steven Gerrard), Chelsea (Ashley Cole, John Terry and Frank Lampard), Manchester City (Gareth Barry and James Milner), Manchester United (Wayne Rooney) and Tottenham (Jermain Defoe), while 42-year-old goalkeeper David James is now in what must be the final stages of his career at Bournemouth. The missing man is Matthew Upson, who scored the Three Lions' goal in the Bloemfontein defeat, and he now finds himself at Brighton after just two appearances for Stoke this season. Seagulls boss Gus Poyet says the chance to sign players of the 33-year-old's quality doesn't "come along very often" in the Championship and it's now up to Upson to prove a point following a period out of the spotlight.
Best of the rest: Ross Barkley (Everton to Leeds, loan); Dwight Gayle (Dagenham to Peterborough, undisclosed); Lee Evans (Newport to Wolves, undisclosed
Matt Ritchie (Swindon to Bournemouth, £500,000)
- League One
|Sheff Utd
- last updated 03/02 11:30
Ritchie was the best player in League Two last year and his reputation as a star performer in League One has already been made. Bournemouth were told to pay £2million for the winger in 2012 so it can't be argued that signing him for £500,000 as Swindon restructure their finances is an absolutely cracking bit of business. The deal certainly hasn't pleased Robins boss Paolo Di Canio but Bournemouth, already in scintillating shape since manager Eddie Howe's return to the club, will feel the benefits and promotion to the Championship looks likely.
Win £330 from your free £10 bet if Ritchie is the top goalscorer
Paddy Madden (Carlisle to Yeovil, undisclosed)
It's fair to say Madden is finding life much more to his liking at Yeovil than he ever did at Carlisle. The Irishman managed just a couple of goals during his couple of seasons at Brunton Park but his loan spell in Somerset reinvigorated him and now a permanent deal should ensure the good times continue. The striker has been bang in form recently, seven goals in his last four games more than proves that, and he's spoken recently of the Glovers' bid to finish in the play-offs. That is still possible and so is the 22-year-old's bid to finish the campaign as League One's top goalscorer.
Win £160 from your free £10 bet if Yeovil win promotion
Nicky Ajose (Peterborough to Bury, loan)
Ajose topped my list as the top signing in League One last January but it's fair to say that selection didn't work out - his time at Chesterfield saw the forward make 12 appearances with the return of just one goal. Now he's left Peterborough on loan again, following time with Crawley earlier this term, and already has a terrific reputation at Bury. The 21-year-old scored 13 goals to help the Shakers win promotion to League Two in the 2010/11 campaign and he's already up and running during this spell with a strike in Saturday's 2-0 win over promotion contenders Doncaster. Bury need him to shine as there is a long way to go in the battle to avoid the drop.
Ben Chorley (Leyton Orient to Stevenage, free)
Stevenage boss Gary Smith has done a very canny bit of business to add Chorley to the centre of his defence. The 30-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal at Broadhall Way and his vast Football League experience will be a big plus for The Boro during that time. Leyton Orient are sure to miss the former Tranmere and MK Dons man and it will be interesting to see whether his new or old employers enjoy the better end to the season in the third tier.
Best of the rest: Leon Clarke (Charlton to Coventry, free); Jamie Murphy (Motherwell to Sheffield United, free); Chuks Aneke (Arsenal to Crawley, loan)
Cody McDonald (Coventry to Gillingham, loan)
A bit like Ajose, McDonald is a player back at a club where he has plenty of good memories. The 26-year-old scored 26 goals in 41 games for Gillingham during the 2010/11 season and that helped persuade Coventry to sign him from Norwich. His time at the Ricoh Arena hasn't quite gone to plan, although not much has for the Sky Blues in recent years, but returning to Priestfield should see the goal-getter prove his qualities once again. Two goals in his first two games back in Kent proved his quality in League Two and the race for the title remains very much on despite Monday night's surprise 1-0 defeat against Wycombe.
Ryan Brunt (Stoke to Bristol Rovers, undisclosed)
- League Two
|Bristol R
|AFC W'don
- last updated 04/02 21:42
Bristol Rovers are in much better shape following three wins on the spin and there's no doubt Brunt's arrival has played a key part in the revival. Arriving after the 3-0 victory over Fleetwood, the striker has already made a big impact with the winner in last Friday's 2-1 win against fellow strugglers Barnet. Three points at Rotherham on the 19-year-old's debut sandwiched those two games and boss John Ward will be hoping his "old-fashioned centre forward" can pull the Pirates further clear of relegation danger.
Jamille Matt (Kidderminster to Fleetwood, undisclosed)
A fee of around £300,000 is a heck of an outlay for a club in League Two but I fully expect Fleetwood to recoup that money and a little bit more when Matt eventually moves on. A break between February and November because of work-permit issues certainly didn't seem to affect the striker when he returned to action with eight goals in eight league games for Kidderminster. The Conference club will be better off for the fee they received but his goals will be missed in the battle for promotion to the Football League. It will now be interesting to see if he makes the difference in what could be a battle to finish third in League Two behind Port Vale and Gillingham.
Win £330 from your free £10 bet if Fleetwood win League Two
Chris Hussey (Coventry to AFC Wimbledon, free)
Hussey, like Cody McDonald, is another player making a return to a former employer in League Two after time with Coventry. The full-back made 31 appearances for the Sky Blues in the Championship last season but hadn't been a first-choice this term since Mark Robins' arrival at the club. The 24-year-old enjoyed success during his initial time at AFC Wimbledon in the Conference and his return can only be a good thing in what is a very tight battle to avoid relegation.
Win £50 from your free £10 bet if AFC Wimbledon beat Port Vale tonight

Wilderness? National Conservation Area? National Monument? Emery County is certainly involved in the growing worldwide trend to designate formal protected areas. In 1997 the World Conservation Union identified over 54 thousand protected areas worldwide. Along with this increase in formal protection has come numerous researchers such as myself who are interested in the social and biophysical interactions and impacts of protected areas. Considerable research has concluded that the effectiveness of protected areas relies to a great extent on involving the local human population in policy formation and management of these areas. This realization has led to numerous efforts to better understand local attitudes towards these protected areas.
A survey was conducted by the Brigham Young University Geography Department in late 2001 directed at understanding the attitudes of southeastern Utah residents towards public land in general and the establishment and management of Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs) in particular. More than 600 residents in six counties returned surveys that asked respondents if they agreed, disagreed, or were neutral with 11separate statements concerning WSAs.
Five of the survey statements were essentially identical to those asked in a survey conducted by Gundars Rudzitis, the results of which are published in the book Wilderness and the Changing American West (1996). This survey, which did not include any Utah counties, found considerable support and positive attitudes towards Wilderness areas in eleven counties spread across several states.
Our recent survey of southeastern Utah residents did not find a similar level of support. For example, in Rudzitis' survey 53 percent of respondents agreed that the presence of nearby Wilderness areas was an important reason why they moved to or stayed in their county. Only 14 percent of residents in southeastern Utah (3 percent in Emery County) felt the same concerning WSAs. In addition, 66 percent of respondents in southeastern Utah (74 percent in Emery County) felt that WSAs should be opened for mineral or energy development compared to only 22 percent of the respondents in the counties sampled by Rudzitis.
Several possible reasons for the substantial difference in attitudes towards WSAs between these surveys stand out. The debate over wilderness designation has been particularly intense in Utah, with few opponents or supporters of wilderness being pleased with the Bureau of Land Management's initial wilderness review that established 3.2 million acres of WSAs in Utah. Only 12 percent of southeastern Utah respondents (7 percent in Emery County) felt that the process of establishing WSAs was fair, accurate, and appropriate, while 82 percent (92 percent in Emery County) believe that local citizens should have more influence in the designation and management of WSAs.
Population change is another possible explanatory factor. While population growth in the state of Utah during the 1990s (29.6 percent) was more than double the national average (13.1 percent), southeastern Utah grew at just slightly more (15.2 percent) than the national average, and at a level far below the extremely high growth counties sampled by Rudzitis. In fact, Grand County, the only county in our survey with a relatively high growth rate (28.2 percent), responded to the survey in a pattern more closely resembling Rudzitis survey than any of the other five counties. For example, while 74 percent of Emery County respondents agreed that WSAs should be opened for mineral and energy development, only 46 percent of Grand County respondents agreed with this statement. Emery County had the lowest population growth in southeastern Utah at only 5.1percent during the 1990s.
Overall the survey found a correlation between length of time in the county and attitudes towards WSAs, with residents who have lived in the counties for less than 10 years having more positive attitudes towards WSAs. 73 percent of survey respondents in southeastern Utah had lived in their county for over 10 years, with 57 percent having been residents for over 20 years.
In surveys across the globe negative attitudes towards protected areas have often been linked to complaints about the impact on economic livelihood activities such as grazing, wood collecting, and hunting. Livelihood opportunities were also a concern in our survey as 64 percent of respondents felt that WSAs hinder economic livelihood opportunities. The percentage was higher in Emery County (73 percent) and lower in Grand County (40 percent). In burgeoning tourist areas such as Moab the presence of WSAs may be viewed as providing economic opportunities, while regions dominated by agriculture and resource extraction are more concerned about increasing restrictions and regulations.
As with any survey, the survey of southeastern Utah paints only a partial picture of attitudes in each county, and some effect from self-selection of respondents is evident. For example, only 30 percent of respondents were female, and the survey analysis found the difference between female and male attitudes on most questions to be significant. Female respondents were more likely to either be neutral or positive towards WSA establishment and management. For example, 28 percent of women agreed that additional wilderness reviews should be conducted in order to find additional areas which may qualify as a WSA compared to only 13 percent of male respondents. And 40 percent of women agreed that WSA designation is an important management tool for protecting the natural environment compared to 27 percent of men.
The under-representation of women is indicative of a broader exclusion of women in the ongoing public lands debate. For example, in Emery County where public land issues are reaching a fevered pitch, there is not a single woman on the county commission nor on the 11 person public lands council. Recent public meetings being held to gather public comments on a potential National Monument designation have been dominated by male attendance and comments.
The debate over wilderness in southeastern Utah is often a polarizing issue, with many individuals expressing strong opinions. But like many issues there is a substantial number of people who either don't know much about it or are not concerned enough to express an opinion or be involved. While our survey response rate was good, more than 30 percent, many individuals did not return their questionnaires and a surprising number returned them blank with a note saying that they knew little about these issues. Those who did respond have high rates of activity on public land. Over 40 percent of respondents hunted or fished on public land during the past year, while over 50 percent spent time involved in either Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) use, hiking, camping, or sightseeing on public land.
Research on public attitudes towards protected areas has been conducted due to the belief that land managers need this information in order to better develop management objectives and plans. While it is clear that a substantial portion of southeastern Utah has negative feelings towards the designation and management of WSAs, these and surrounding areas are increasingly being utilized by people living outside the region. The challenge for public land managers in southeastern Utah is to mitigate impacts from these weekend hordes while better integrating local communities into decision making and management. A difficult recipe but one that has been found to be essential in successful conservation of environments that are being added to a world wide list of formal protected areas.

DescriptionThe entirety of this soundtrack was made using various modern synthesizer-layers. Effects like distortion, reverbs and delays are used as well in a varying manner. The atmosphere constantly shifts from calm to unrest to reflect various feelings/emotions. The track begins off calm and ends at a climax.
The soundtrack is about the different feelings we have while thinking about life and death; about the paradoxal feelings and mystery we experience when confronted with or thinking about it. On one side it is intense and sad, while on the other hand, in a poetic-way, it also brings beauty. The valueable memories we have to cherish of our loved ones. It fuels positive things like passion, romance and hope in our lives. It makes you want to make the best out of every day, it enables you to dream. While life and death are two extremely different things, in reality they're thightly interwoven in our daily behaviour. This song is about that; the twofold thinking, the various emotions involved (from sadness, to calmth, to bitterness to anger, ever alternating). The song starts off peacefuly, bringing a new life. Have a listen to decide for yourself how it ends.
ContentsThis soundtrack is delivered in two file formats: a high quality WAV-format (44.1kHz 16-bit stereo) and a high quality MP3-format (320 kbs stereo). The total number of files is thus 2.

Lucy's Family is Complete: Hominid Trio Offer Insight Into Human Evolution

An artist's scupting of A. afarensis, based on the earlier Lucy skeleton.
(Source: Educa Madrid)
The bones of "Big Man"
(Source: Y. Haile Selassie et al./PNAS 2010)
"Whatever we've been saying about afarensis based on Lucy was mostly wrong."
Much like the revolution of modern astronomy in the late 1400s and early 1500s dissolved the notion that the Sun revolved around the Earth, a renaissance in paleontology is dissolving virtually any doubt that remained about man's origins. Another new discovery has just been completed, the latest of several high profile publications over only the last year.
new skeleton
is a male
Australopithecus afarensis
, which has been discovered in Ethiopia's Afar region. The skeleton joins the celebrated "Lucy" skeleton, unearthed by paleoanthropologists in 1974, and a child skeleton unearthed last year.
The ancient male, an ancestor of modern man, lived approximately 3.6 million years ago in the plains of Eastern Africa, according to several dating techniques. Yohannes Haile-Selassie of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, who led the team, says the skeleton offers some major new insights into the species.
The skeleton has been nicknamed "Big Man" as it towers at 5 to 5½ feet tall over the much shorter 3½-foot-tall Lucy, who lived 3.2 million years ago. That large height deviation raises questions over which of the specimen is the norm in terms of height. The new skeleton was unearthed between 2005 and 2008 at a dig site only 48 km from where Lucy was found.
The skeleton also reveals new insights into the bone structure of the species. Big Man's 32 discovered bones reveal long legs, a narrow chest, and a inwardly curving back. All of these indicate that he walked much like a human and enjoyed a ground-based lifestyle. This is very different from the awkward gait that Lucy was thought to have. Lucy also had been thought to climb trees a great deal.
The shoulder blade of Big Man is quite different from chimpanzees or gorillas. And the ribs also appear human-like. All of these factors indicate a far different chest shape than the chimplike, funnel-shaped chest that reconstructions of the Lucy skeleton indicated.
While confusing perhaps in context with Lucy, the conclusion that ancient hominids were
chimplike is consistent with the analysis of the
Ardipithecus ramidus
that was conducted last year.
Professor Haile-Selassie states, "Whatever we've been saying about
based on Lucy was mostly wrong. The skeletal framework to enable efficient two-legged walking was established by the time her species had evolved."
Carol Ward of the University of Missouri in Columbia seems to agree with these conclusions, stating, "This beautiful
specimen confirms the unique skeletal shape of this species at a larger size than Lucy, in what appears to be a male."
While the discovery may have cleared up debate about whether Lucy was more chimplike or humanlike, the debate about gait is sure to continue. Harvard University anthropologist Daniel Lieberman states, "There's nothing special I can see on this new find that will change anyone's opinion."
Anthropologist Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University, however, believes that the discovery shows Big Man to be a good runner, which could have made the 3.6-million-year-old footprints found more than 30 years ago at Laetoli, Tanzania. Among the evidence supporting this hypothesis are Big Man's pelvis supported humanlike hamstring muscles and human-like arched feet.
The full study on the Big Man discovery is published
in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
A separate 3.3 million year old skeleton of a 3-year-old baby female
A. afarensis
was presented four years ago. Nicknamed "Selam" (the word for "peace" in several African languages), the near-complete skeleton was found in 2000 south of the Awash river by a team led by Zeresenay Alemseged of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.
The paper on that discovery was published in a 2006 edition of
and can be found
These discoveries add to the aforementioned recent discovery of "Ardi", the
discovery of
Australopithecus sediba
, and the completion of an early
draft of the Neanderthal genome
. All of these wonderful discoveries have helped to blow away the fog of uncertainty surrounding human evolution and offered a much clearer picture of how man arrived at its current form after a slow process of evolution that took millions of years.
"Spreading the rumors, it's very easy because the people who write about Apple want that story, and you can claim its credible because you spoke to someone at Apple." -- Investment guru Jim Cramer

"My husband bought these and he cannot stop talking about how comfortable these shoes are after he wore them to an occasion. For both of us, falling in love with these shoes was like love at first sight"

Purpose and Style
"It's hard to find a truly useful boat shoe. One that still has the style needed to step off the deck and continue the day. The Clipper is that shoe. I have looked for years for a boat shoe that delivers the goods while I'm standing behind the wheel in the Gulf of Mexico, doesn't get heavy and waterlogged with sea spray, doesn't slip on a wet deck when reeling in a big fish, but cool enough to step off on the dock without having to feel you left your style in the closet at home. Now its possible to work and play hard, and still look good while doing it!"

"I like this vintage style Santa graphic, but I read that the designer used a cutting machine to cut a red vinyl decal to afix to the cream painted wood board. I don't know what kind of cutting machine she is talking about and I wonder how pricey it is? I'd like an alternative to getting that Santa on there."
"This wall decor is very chic with any message you write on it! And it couldn't be easier. However, another option to using foam core board would be to actually buy an old thrift store bulletin board and spray paint it black. I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"

Social-media stocks are risky. IPO stocks are risky. Owning a few dozen of them in a fund is also risky.
But it's not quite as risky as the first two options. This morning, as investors are selling Twitter (TWTR) and asking questions later, it's worth taking note of the "safety in numbers" aspect of even the riskiest hot money ETFs, such as the $131 million Global X Social Media ETF (SOCL).
Twitter's stock has slumped 20% this morning as investors react to a less-than-ideal earnings report. Pandora Media (P), too, appeared priced for perfection, judging by its 11% post-earnings decline. (Pandora's big sin: failing to offer bullish forward guidance.)
Both stocks are top-6 holdings in the Global X ETF, which I've previously noted owns uncertain companies with uncertain earnings prospects, and exceptionally volatile stocks. But the ETF is
down by a pretty modest 0.5% ahead by 0.2% in Thursday morning.
The reason: A modest amount of diversification. Other key holdings such as Facebook (FB) and LinkedIn (LNKD) are hanging in Thursday morning as the stock market gains.
In the attached chart, the jagged blue line is Twitter's stock since the IPO. The yellow one is the Global X ETF. Twitter makes the ETF look downright staid, even as XTF lists its six-month standard deviation as 25.5%. That's nearly three times SPDR S&P 500 ETF's (SPY, 9.7%).
No, a social media-themed ETF isn't a "safe" investment. But the chances of it slumping 20% are more remote than if you pick your own selection of favored stocks in the sector.
Update 10:14 a.m.: This post was updated to reflect the ETF's morning price advance.

This week in Tech we took a look at new smartphones, considered the possibility of a vacation on Mars and talked to two up-and-coming YouTubers. Here's what you need to know about the week in Tech:
If you hate squinting at a tiny smartphone screen, you're in luck. Big smartphones were the highlight of this year's Mobile World Congress, an annual trade show held in Barcelona.
These tablet-sized phones already have a catchy nickname — "phablets." A few big phone makers showed off their latest supersize phones at the conference. ZTE's new Grand Memo has a 5.7-inch touch-screen, Huawei's Ascend Mate has a 6.1-inch display and the new Asus Fonepad has a 7-inch screen. Samsung said it sold 3 million Galaxy Note II smartphones in the first month that the 5.5-inch phone was on the market. But Apple sold 5 million iPhone 5s in the phone's first weekend. Phablets still have a long way to go until they gain the immense following of the iPhone.
2) Firefox OS: Are you ready for a new operating system?
Mobile World Congress was also the setting for a popular Web outfit's foray into software. Mozilla, best known for its Web Firefox browser, previewed its new operating system, Firefox OS. The system is aimed at users in smaller markets for now (Brazil, Mexico and more) who are making the transition from older cellphones to smartphones.
Firefox OS will come with an app store, Firefox Marketplace, that offers the standard set of apps expected on any good smartphone — Facebook,Twitter, etc. But the Marketplace also comes with an interesting new feature. People can use an app one time on their smartphones without actually downloading the app.
Firefox OS will roll out this summer in developing markets and in the U.S. sometime in the near future.
3) Multimillionaire announces details of round-trip visit to Mars
What your ideal honeymoon destination? Hawaii? Paris? What about Mars?
Multimillionaire Dennis Tito announced he wants to finance a round-trip visit for two spacefarers, preferably a married couple, to visit the red planet. Accommodations would include an inflated habitat module with about 300 square feet of room. Whoever takes the trip should plan on taking ample vacation time from work: The trip would begin on Jan. 5, 2018, and would last 501 days.
Be warned: Medical advisers say that astronauts traveling to Mars would face a "dangerous radiation environment" and a 3% lifetime risk of cancer.
Google Chromebook Pixel
4) Google Chromebook Pixel is a cloud-computing showpiece
USA TODAY's Ed Baig played around with the new Google Chromebook Pixel and said the new gadget is "an immense pleasure to use" but he's "still hesitant to recommend the machine to everybody."
The laptop has excellent design elements, with a touch screen, a "first-rate keyboard," an HD webcam and a color-changing LED light on the back cover.
But for all of its nice aesthetics, Pixel still leaves a few things to be desired. The laptop has weak battery life, limited options offline and a hefty price tag. Baig says this laptop is a good start for Google, but "Pixel isn't for the mainstream yet."
Meet YouTube stars Rhett and Link.
5) Talking Tech: Big-name brands fuel Rhett and Link's funny videos
Product placement in TV shows or movies can be annoying if it's too obvious. But YouTube performers Rhett and Link are putting a new spin on the product placement game by teaming up with major corporations to make funny videos.
Rhett and Link told USA TODAY's Jefferson Graham that they make sure each video is just a sponsored video, not a commercial. In a Taco Bell-sponsored video, they sang their burrito order at a drive-up window. McDonald's paid the duo to rap about the dollar menu. Rhett and Link went big for their Trident Gum video. The two sang Lionel Richie's All Night Long while walking through the streets of Los Angeles — and yes, they sang it literally all night long.
Rhett and Link said they are lucky to be able to make money doing what they love: "We're making enough money to support two families living in Los Angeles. Producing videos for YouTube. Amazing."

Devo guitarist Bob Casale dies at 61
Bob Casale, one of the founding members of Devo who remained active in the band's projects and was to take part in the band's 40th anniversary tour this summer, has died.
Casale had been hospitalized with stomach issues, according to his brother and Devo co-founder Gerald.
"He was sitting up, talking and the next thing he was in an ER, life-and-death situation," Gerald Casale told the L.A. Times. "His blood pressure dropped too low and they couldn't stabilize it in time."
The Casales formed Devo in the early 70's with Mark Mothersbaugh and his own brother Bob, along with Alan Myers on drums. Myers died last year, and studio drummer Josh Freese had been slotted to sit in for the anniversary tour.
Following the band's peak in the early 80's Mothersbaugh began focusing on scoring film and TV projects. In a statement, he noted that Casale had followed him down that path, working on many parojects together.
"We are shocked and saddened by Bob Casale's passing," Mothersbaugh said. "He not only was integral in Devo's sound, he worked over 20 years at Mutato, collaborating with me on sixty or seventy films and television shows, not to mention countless commercials and many video games. Bob was instrumental in creating the sound of projects as varied as 'Rugrats' and Wes Anderson's films. He was a great friend. I will miss him greatly."
