Massive ASUS ROG Matrix HD 7970 GPU Pictured
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 22, 2012 - 04:27 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: tahiti, gpu, ASUS ROG, asus, amd, 7970
ASUS recently posted a few teaser photos of its upcoming Republic of Gamers branded 7970 graphics card. The Matrix HD 7970 is a three slot design with the company's DirectCU II heatsink, dual fans, DIGI+ VRM, and (of course) AMD's 7970 Tahiti GPU core. While likely not based on the higher-binned cores used in the new 7970 GHz Edition graphics cards, with the large cooler and extra power phases that ASUS is packing into this Matrix GPU it should overclock to similar levels of performance.
The card features fans, and a large dual slot cooler with the traditional red and black ROG theme. The ASUS and Matrix logos are etched into the side of the card as well. The PCB is black and further covered by a bracing plate to reinforce the PCB to support the weight of the cooler. On the front of the card, it houses an air vent, two DVI connectors, and four DisplayPort video outputs. On the back of the card are four buttons. Two of the buttons with plus and minus symbols let you adjust the core voltage in preset jumps. The Safe Mode button next to the minus button clears the overclocks from the BIOS and resets the card to default settings. Finally, the red button will spin the fan up to 100% to overclock the card as far as possible. They also have a bank of LEDs below the buttons that offer at-a-glance load monitoring (really only useful for those testing outside a case...). In the rear corner of the card is two eight pin PCI-E power connectors. Then, on the underside (top when installed in the case) of the graphics card's PCB, ASUS has a VGA Hotwire port which allows the card to interface with the ASUS OC Key and Extreme edition motherboards (such as the Maximus V and Rampage IV Extreme). There are also voltage checking points.
Internals are somewhat similar to ASUS Radeon HD 7970 DirectCU II, but with some aspects ratcheted up. The power phases, for example, have increased from 12 phases to 20 on the Matrix card. It continues to use the 7970 "Tahiti" GPU with 2048 shaders, 32 ROPs, and AMD's Graphics Core Next architecture. ASUS is packing 3GB of GDDR5 memory with a 384-bit memory interface. ASUS has stated that both the GPU core and memory will be overclocked from the factory. Unfortunately, they have not released any specific numbers. We will have to wait until the card is closer to the launch date for that information.
The ASUS ROG Matrix graphics card will be launching in Q3 of 2012. It will be aimed at extreme overclockers – especially those that are already using Republic of Gamers branded motherboards from ASUS. What do you think of this new card, especially now that AMD has launched its 7970 GHz Edition reference GPU? You can find more photos of the card over at the ASUS website.

Can someone answer why GPU makers put display ports on their cards? Why 4 display ports? Why not 4 HDMI ports? All my monitors have HDMI ports and DVI ports, not display ports.
And yeah, I know you can get the converters but why is that the case in the first place? Why not just HDMI ports?
It has something to do with the way the GPU drives the displays. It simply can't support six displays using HDMI/DVI without extra hardware which would add to the cost. DisplayPort does not have this limitation so that's why GPU makers use it to support the six display eyefinity setups.
For one thing HDMI maxes out at 1980 x 1080. Display ports max out at 2560 x 1600 at 120hz, or the bandwidth of about 4 hdmi monitors. So you would need 16 hdmi cables to handle the same resolution and frequency.
DisplayPort is a digital display interface developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). The VESA specification is royalty-free. VESA designed it to replace VGA, DVI, and LVDS by creating a high performance standard.
(as opposed to the four cent per device royalty charged to HDMI devices)
make sense now?
HDMI was brought to you by a bunch of........Nevermind.
So I wonder how many displays one of these cards could actually drive. If you had one of those fancy hubs you might be able to get multiple displays per DP connection. Maybe do some 3 x 3 surround gaming. :)
The Matrix is now unlocked
OMG that`s so cool
I love my ROG Matrix 580 it"s fast runs cool and looks sexy in my Lian Li case.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Mental Disorders affect an estimated 450 million people worldwide, including countless Kuwaitis. Five out of ten leading causes of health disability are mental disorders, and by 2020, depression will be the second most disabling health condition in the world! This puts it ahead of heart disease, road traffic accidents, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Yet, mental disorders – which include common disorders like depression and anxiety – and people suffering from them do not get the attention they deserve. In the field of health care, and particularly public health in Kuwait, mental health not only tends to take a back seat, but also a seat of indifference. In fact, public clinics do not even have mental health professionals easily accessible to patients.
Twins, Alaa and Dalal Alhomaizi, who are currently studying psychology at Northeastern University in Boston, decided it was time there was some balance. With near perfect grades, the identical twins were easily eligible for a scholarship from the Ministry of Higher Education. However, their selection of Major of psychology lost them that scholarship.
"When we went to apply for a scholarship, my father was asked by a prominent official at the Ministry for Higher Education why he would allow his daughters to deal with 'crazy' people and if he, or any Kuwaiti for that matter, would ever seek a psychologist. Despite my father jumping to our aid by stating that he thinks there is no shame in seeing a psychologist if they needed to, we never got the scholarship. Not only did they not support our choice and disrespected people with mental illnesses, who should never be called 'crazy', they were biased against the field of psychology in general by claiming it is not needed in Kuwait!" revealed Dalal.
"You can only imagine," says Alaa, referring to their disappointing episode with the educational official, "how prejudiced our society is towards people with mental disorders, if they are this prejudiced towards people working in the field of psychology."
However, it wasn't until they attended a class on 'Deviant Behavior and Social Control' at Northeastern University, that they realized how pervasive the problem of stigma really was and that it did not only exist in Kuwait.
"We were shocked to learn about the inhumane way people with mental illness are treated in almost all societies of the world at almost every point in human history. The fact that we are in the 21st century, and society still disrespects, dehumanizes, institutionalizes, and looks down upon people with mental illness is just disgraceful. It is unfair, unfounded, and we knew we had to do something about it."
In 2011, the twins initiated an anti-stigma and mental health advocacy campaign S.P.E.A.K., an acronym for Standing for Psychological Education and Awareness in Kuwait. It is through SPEAK that Alaa and Dalal are aiming to spread awareness by educating people. "It is fundamental to separate the myths from the facts," explained Alaa, because they believe it's the stigma attached to mental illnesses, its treatments, as well as the field of psychology, which needs to be eradicated.
"With education, we want others to know how they can help or find help, to understand the importance of mental health, and most importantly, we want to promote equality and respect for those individuals suffering from a mental illness," they explained, adding, "People need to seek treatment instead of refusing or denying it in fear of a judgmental society."
So, how does SPEAK help? "We spread the word through popular media, like Twitter and Facebook, and our open online forum (ask.fm/speakuwait) is both interactive and informative," explained Dalal, as she proceeded to give me a glimpse of it on her phone. "We help people living with psychological problems by spreading the truth about mental illness and psychology. This campaign was started to be the voice of those who are quieted by society's judgment and rejection. People living with mental illness are fathers, mothers, siblings, friends, and classmates. They are just like you and me; there is absolutely no difference. Somebody had to give voice to this neglected topic, to promote the rights of every Kuwaiti citizen to be aware of and benefit from mental health." Fortunately, Alaa and Dalal believe Kuwait is eager for this change. Their forum addresses a wide spectrum of questions, which are answered by the girls. Even parents have approached them seeking assistance.
SPEAK has held a number of successful events in Kuwait and Boston, including a presentation at the Women's Cultural Social Society in January 2012. Their work has been featured in National newspapers, magazines, and blogs as well as International media such as the Boston Globe. Alaa and Dalal's research for SPEAK was featured in the Undergraduate Honors Evening at Northeastern University and will be presented in the National Collegiate Honors Conference this November.
What's next? This fall, on World Mental Health Day, SPEAK will host an unprecedented event, an event unlike any other Kuwait has had before. On October 10 and 11, SPEAK in association with the Ministry of Health will host a conference featuring leading psychiatrists from Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, the Number 1 hospital in the USA. The department of psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital has been ranked No.1 for 16 consecutive years!
When asked how they were able to convince Harvard doctors into coming to Kuwait for their conference, Alaa responded, "We had been working in this department as research assistants for 4 months when we decided to approach our manager with our idea. We were very prepared and we created a fully developed plan. After 2 months of meetings, the leaders of the department enthusiastically approved and supported our event." The two-day event will include large public presentations in the evening and seminars for doctors and health professionals in the morning.
These two enthusiastic youngsters' vision for the future is just as clear as their research and statistics were for this interview. The twins plan to change the field of mental health in Kuwait, not only for the public and professionals, but for future generations as well.
That might surely take a lot of effort and dedication, but at twenty-three, Alaa and Dalal seem to be lacking in neither. They efficiently juggle their advocacy campaign along with their undergraduate honors education and a part-time research internship in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital.
For SPEAK's upcoming events log on to FaceBook: speakuwait. You can contact Alaa & Dalal through Twitter @speakuwait or by email at [email protected].

There's no question that President Obama is beating the Republicans in public opinion on the big federal spending cuts that, on paper, are expected to take effect on Friday.
Even Republicans concede that, for now, the president's bully pulpit strategy on the "sequester" is working. He has been doing local media interviews, leaning on the governors, and holding campaign-style events around the country – including Tuesday's visit to Newport News, Va. – to highlight cuts in defense spending. And his team is flooding the zone with data aimed at sowing concern about how the cuts would affect real people. On Sunday night, the White House released numbers on the sequester's impact, state-by-state.
But the public isn't paying much attention. Despite intensive media coverage, only 27 percent of Americans say they have heard a lot about the sequester, according to a poll released last week by the Pew Research Center and USA Today. In addition, not surprisingly, most Americans don't understand the sequester. When asked what it is, only 36 percent of Americans selected the right answer, a recent poll by The Hill newspaper found.
So in fact, Mr. Obama bears some risk – especially as time goes on.
"I think he wins short term, but danger mounts over time," says Cal Jillson, a political scientist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. "There's only one president, and he will be the focus of people's attention if a satisfactory resolution is not eventually reached."
Obama could in fact "win" the sequester battle for a couple of months, since the cuts will start to bite slowly. Very little will happen at the end of the week, when the deadline is reached. By March 27, when the next "fiscal cliff" deadline is reached – the end of federal budget spending authority and the possibility of a government shutdown – a sense of crisis could begin to build. And only then will the public look to Obama, as president, to solve the problem.
But doesn't Obama risk looking as if he's crying wolf? The White House is making dire predictions about cuts that take effect Friday, yet not much cutting will be in evidence.
"The president can easily argue that while nothing dramatic happened today, it will come in a matter of weeks, and you will see it and feel it," says Mr. Jillson. "He can say bad things will happen because the Republicans are failing to meet him halfway."
Another risk factor for Obama is the economy. For now, the recovery remains sluggish, unemployment is holding steady just below 8 percent, but the nation is not in recession (though preliminary numbers show the economy shrank slightly in the last quarter of 2012). One of Obama's biggest policy weaknesses is his handling of the deficit. And according to the Pew poll, 70 percent of Americans think it is "essential" for him and Congress to pass major deficit-reduction legislation this year.
"Should the economy not improve, and the deficit numbers grow, it could be a problem for the president in the long term," says Karlyn Bowman, an expert on polling at the American Enterprise Institute.
But for now, Ms. Bowman says, Obama is beating the Republicans in the communications game.
"He's out there with very specific answers," she says. "It's the only argument out there right now, it seems to me."
Congressional Republicans were on recess all last week, but return Monday night, and will have a chance to play catchup with their message.

In his message for the 87th World Mission Day Oct. 20, Pope Francis challenged every Catholic, every parish and every other Catholic community to be missionary to the core. While he is famous for making three points in homilies, his message has five sections.
"Faith is God's precious gift, which opens our mind to know and love him," the pope wrote in the first section. "It is a gift, not reserved for a few but offered with generosity. Everyone should be able to experience the joy of being loved by God, the joy of salvation! It is a gift that one cannot keep to oneself, but it is to be shared."
"God so loved the world that he gave his only Son," the pope said, quoting John 3:16. The knowledge of this love is a source of immense joy. Just as a thermometer is a measure of physical health, commitment to sharing this joy is a measure of spiritual health.
"If we want to keep it only to ourselves, we will become isolated, sterile and sick Christians," he added. "The strength of our faith, at a personal and community level, can be measured by the ability to communicate it to others, to spread and live it in charity, to witness to it before those we meet and those who share the path of life with us."
Every Catholic, every parish is missionary. The Church's "missionary aspect is not merely a programmatic dimension in Christian life, but it is also a paradigmatic dimension that affects all aspects of Christian life," the pope wrote. In other words, missionary work is at the heart of being a Catholic, a parish or a Catholic institution.
Pope Francis then identifies several obstacles to mission. "Sometimes there is lack of fervor, joy, courage and hope in proclaiming the message of Christ to all and in helping the people of our time to an encounter with him," he noted.
"Sometimes, it is still thought that proclaiming the truth of the Gospel means an assault on freedom."
In contrast, Pope Francis said that "we must always have the courage and the joy of proposing, with respect, an encounter with Christ, and being heralds of his Gospel."
Whatever obstacles to mission may exist, missionaries are not lone rangers. "It is important never to forget a fundamental principle for every evangelizer: One cannot announce Christ without the Church," Pope Francis wrote.
Pope Francis describes "menacing clouds," including Christians who "make lifestyle choices that lead them away from faith," military conflicts, and crises in the environment, economics and values.
In the face of these clouds, he said, "it is necessary to proclaim courageously, and in every situation, the Gospel of Christ."
"The Church — I repeat once again — is not a relief organization, an enterprise or an NGO [non-governmental organization], but a community of people, animated by the Holy Spirit, who have lived and are living the wonder of the encounter with Jesus Christ and want to share this experience of deep joy, the message of salvation that the Lord gave us," he said.
Pope Francis noted that certain priests, religious and laity are called to leave their homelands as missionaries.
Some leave behind historically Christian regions to preach the Gospel; others come from recently evangelized nations and serve as missionaries to older dioceses "that are in difficulty … and thus bring the freshness and enthusiasm with which they live the faith, a faith that renews life and gives hope."
Pope Francis concluded his message by noting that persecuted Christians offer a profound witness to the Lord.
"I wish to reaffirm my closeness in prayer to individuals, families and communities who suffer violence and intolerance, and I repeat to them the consoling words of Jesus: 'Take courage, I have overcome the world.'"
J.J. Ziegler writes from North Carolina.

Van Halen's 'The Trouble With Never' Song Preview Emerges
British fans of Van Halen can purchase two new songs from 'A Different Kind of Truth,' which are so far unavailable in the United States. 'Blood and Fire' is available on the UK Amazon, as is an until now unreleased song called 'The Trouble With Never.'
While fans in the states can't plop down the pounds for the full version, they can listen to the preview at the UK Amazon site. "When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor," David Lee Roth sings over Eddie Van Halen's shredding. The song seems to fall in line to much of the material that's been previewed in various ways since they announced a new album would be released on Feb. 7.
"That's the trouble with never / It does seem like a mighty long time / That's the trouble with never / When was the last time you did something for the first time."
Last night's episode of 'CSI' on CBS also featured new Van Halen music. 'Stay Frosty' was included in a scene at a strip club. The band also released an official preview of the song on YouTube. So far, unlike the first three songs from 'A Different Kind of Truth,' there have been no reports that either of these songs came from earlier demos.
In honor of Eddie Van Halen's birthday today (Jan. 26), we're taking a tour through every one of the band's albums and giving you the chance to vote for the best song from each one in our Van Halen Album by Album Readers' Poll.

I've been using the Bridgestone Potenza S03 tires for a long time and I love the feeling of these on the Z8. It's time to replace the pair of rear tires as the tread has worn down. The front tires have plenty of tread left.
I've been told the S03's are discontinued. So I would like to hear recommendations of tires people have liked.

Atlanta Photo Booth
We are a manufacturer of photo booths for special events. (weddings, parties, corporate events, etc...) you know, the kind where you get in, take 4 pictures, and the strip of photos comes out the side??
Anyhow, I need a cool logo for my photo booth brochure.
My current one is located on the http:www.atlantaphotoboothrental.com website.
I don't have a distinct vision for this logo.. I like the idea of where my current one could have gone, but I'm not a designer.
Let me see what you guys have got!
I've been thoroughly impresses by the work you guys here at 99designs do.
My audience will be anyone looking to rent a photo booth.
Brides, companies, marketing execs, schools, etc...
It's a new market, but one full of amateur "do it yourself" types..
My product stands apart from them, now I want my image to as well.
Not too complicated.
I prefer more iconic fonts as opposed to ultra modern ones.
My booths are black and red (see website) but the logo need not follow these colors.
I'd like a logo that lends itself well to embroidery and printing.
Something that would look good on a black polo shirt, or t shirt.
It can be a photo booth icon, or hybrid, or whatever..
Please surprise me, and if I like the way it's going, I'll guarantee, and raise the prize.

dcpar necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 95 diseños de 26 diseñadores freelance.
BarcodePayments.com (BP) is a payment system that enables retailers to quickly and easily accept mobile phone payments from consumers. BP's technology works on all mobile devices, and does not rely on hardware add-ons, SMS, phone cameras, or any proprietary standards.
To pay using BP's technology, the consumer will generate a one-time payment barcode, which is scanned by the retailer at checkout. BP's system instantly verifies and transfers the payment from the consumer's account to the retailer's account. The entire checkout process is completed in less than 5 seconds.
BP is integrated with all major Point Of Sale (POS) systems, and requires only a small barcode scanner.
We would like to deliver the concept in a highly accessible manner to everyone, with a clear, direct message and design.
We have two target audiences: 1) Consumers and 2) Merchants.
1) Consumers will be 18-35, and hip, urban, and tech-savvy. They will see value in the simplicity of the product, and not having to carry cash and cards with them.
2) Merchants will be small to medium sized business who have a high volume of transactions under $100, such as coffee shops. They will see value in increasing the speed of checkout, reducing transaction fees, and increasing customer satisfaction.
We're looking for a design for the front page of our site.
The design should be:
- Clean, clean clean
- Balancing bright and fun with corporate and minimal
- Big, bold, easy to understand
- Use of iconography and illustration preferred over imagery
The system uses 2D BARCODES, so please don't use a traditional line barcode in your design.
I would like the dominant colors to be green and white.
I've attached a mockup for the FULL site, but I'm only asking for the design of the FIRST page. Please note, the layout CAN be changed, it's really up to you. We want something fantastic!
We will work with the chosen designer to complete the remaining pages as a separate contract. I will also require an iPhone app design, and a mobile site design.
Sites I like and why:
http://squareup.com/ - very nice and clean, iphone-y.
https://crazyegg.com/plans - nice contrast, clear headings
http://iconfever.com/ - not the site, the icons
But these are just ideas, hit me with YOUR best ideas. I appreciate good, professional design.
We only require design, not HTML.

Michigan Alcohol & Drug Addiction Interventions
Talk to an alcohol and drug addiction intervention specialist today: 800-980-3927.
Learn how to successfully plan, stage and perform an alcoholism intervention. Our alcohol addiction intervention model includes developing strategies, solutions, treatment options, counseling and assistance through all phases of a person's recovery program.
The techniques we've developed for alcohol addiction interventions have improved current methods used throughout the industry today. Our evidenced-based model has significantly reduce further damage from occurring to already strained relationships, while substantially increasing the odds of getting those suffering from alcoholism successfully into treatment.
So if you are unable to convince someone you care about – or feel like you are losing them, please take a moment to speak with an intervention counselor today at: 800-980-3927
The Dilemma
If someone you care about is telling you no, I won't go to treatment, I don't need help, the problem isn't that bad – or acknowledges they need help, but doesn't follow up on getting it – you are in the right place. Without competent assistance, dealing with destructive behaviors can leave families discouraged or convinced that nothing can be done. Fortunately, these are the exact type of difficulties we are trained to deal with when encountering alcoholism, drug addiction and/or mental illnesses. In fact, every family seeking our assistance has told us they were met with either resistance, excuses, denial or minimization when they approached their loved one with getting help. More than 97% of these same families were later told by their loved one, "okay, I'm willing to go to treatment" after allowing us to facilitate their intervention.
Our track record of success has provided real hope, positive change and indispensable help to thousands. More than two decades has been spent developing strong relationships with a multitude of other service providers, advocates and volunteers who share our vision for recovery.
We know from our own personal accounts how distressing it is for families to watch their loved one struggle with addiction and/or a mental disorder. We also know how debilitating it is to be the one consumed by a chronic illness. This insightful vantage point has allowed us to truly understand the pain, suffering and desperation each side undergoes.
It is our philosophy that when someone is suffering from addiction and/or a mental disorder, wisdom compels us to take proactive measures to help them before something inevitably worse happens. When a person's thoughts and decision making abilities are impaired, families often experience such deep-seated opposition they feel helpless. Meanwhile, the harm being caused to the person's brain structure, along with other risk-factors may one day have irreparable repercussions, so doing nothing is not the answer.
An Intelligent Approach
By focusing our attention on the limbic system (complex area of the brain that supports a variety of functions; including emotion, behavior, motivation and long-term memory), we specifically address what's preventing someone from accepting professional care. Our experienced Intervention Specialists are adept at pinpointing the blocks, breaking through denial and systematically dealing with the irrational thinking that affects a person's decision making abilities.
How It Works
Prior to staging an intervention, we meet with the intervention participants and provide them with clear instructions on what to say and do. Any foreseeable errors or distractions are carefully examined during this pre-intervention or dress rehearsal meeting. After our strategy is formulated, we then meet with your loved one and present them with a dignified solution to treating their medical condition.
Getting Started
In our initial phone interview, we will discuss relevant issues in order to do a thorough evaluation. Once a comprehensive profile is factored in, a strategy will be developed that is tailored around your loved one's particular situation. Cost, logistics, time frame and any other questions or concerns you have will also be answered.
Finding the right interventionist is the most important first step to ensuring the person you care about receives proper health care. Families, friends, co-workers and employers are encouraged to reach out to us. Trying to manage alcoholism, drug addiction, eating disorders, mental illnesses and destructive behaviors without professional assistance can have fatal consequences.
Necessary Measures
Crisis situations are extremely stressful for the inflicted individual and those closest to them. If someone you care about needs help, take the next step… Move forward – because without change – it will not get better.
Begin the healing process today and let us provide you with a free confidential consultation online or by calling: 800-980-3927

Math-a-Thon fundraiser kicks off
THOMAS — The kick-off for the Math-a-Thon at the Snake River Middle School and Rockford Elementary School was Thursday. This event is sponsored by the PTA.
Snake River varsity basketball players joined the fun to spur on enthusiasm for this fund raiser.
This is the fifth year the Math-a-Thon has been in the middle school and the first year for fourth graders at Rockford Elementary.
Students have 20 days to get pledges and/or donations for the Math-a-Thon.
On Wednesday, Feb. 16, fourth, fifth and sixth graders in the two schools will take a 100-problem math test.
Students have until Thursday, Feb. 24, to turn in the money that has been pledged or the donations they have collected.
Prizes will be awarded to students in Thursday, March 10.
Students earn prizes for the amount of money they collect. For example, for a $5 donation, students can choose between a Nerf flying football, silly sludge or whoopie cushion. For a $100 donation, students may choose an I-Pod Shuffle or old fashioned popcorn machine.
Prizes for higher levels of contributions include the choice of a mini-fridge or digital camera, 20 inch Mongoose stunt bike or flip video camcorder. At the $500 donation level, students may choose an I-Pod Touch or 22-inch flat screen color television.
"It's been a good program," principal Ed Jackson said. Jackson is the principal for the Snake River Middle School and Rockford Elementary. "It was started at Rockford this year because I'm the principal in both schools."
"The program started because we needed money for our school," Jackson said. The idea for a Math-a-Thon was a collaborative effort between the PTA and the school.
Math-a-Thon funds have purchased a climbing wall at the middle school as well as the sound system.
Two years ago, $11,000 was raised through the Math-a-Thon; last year, students raised $15,000.
This year funds will be used for resurfacing the exercise track at the middle school. Science and physical education equipment will also be purchased for each school as well as other things.
Organizing this year's Math-a-Thon are PTA president Tammy Rushton, vice president Suzette Robinson and Tracy Ramsdell.
Robinson said, "The community is always very supportive; people are very generous."

- Commentary
By Cody Willard
Before I jump into today's column, I've had a few inquiries about doing an investment/trading conference, so I have a question for you dear Cody Word blog readers. Should we do a conference? I'd be game to do a West Coast TradingWithCody Conference here in the lovely mountain resort town of Ruidoso, NM and I'd be game to do an East Coast TradingWithCody Conference in NYC, both of them before year end. We'd do the conference over two days and I'd give a speech each morning and then in the afternoons we'll meet and go through each of our stocks and answer your questions live. I'd also line up a couple of other experienced money managers to help out too. We'd charge $1000 per head. Let us know your interest (email@example.com) and if we garner enough, I'll get my peeps to get to work on it and let you know the dates.
I added a couple new shorts to the Revolution Investing model portfolio earlier this week. I got a great question about that trade from a subscriber of my TradingWithCody.com service (a service not affiliated with Marketwatch where I post all my trades in real-time) and I wanted to share it with you because it also helped crystalize my own process for me. Here's the question:
Q. Hello Cody, I want to know how do you come up with many of your ideas that you invest in both on the long or short side. For example, the short the dollar store companies is a great idea. Did you just read one article and went from there? Or did someone suggest it to you? I look at myself as more of a technician but I'm always fascinated by how you come up with your long/short ideas. Basically what I'm asking is how does it usually start?
My answer is detailed and if you've been reading me for years, as I know many of you have, I think you'll recognize the strategies I'm talking about. My answer:
Wow, what a great question! I'll give you two examples of how I come up with my ideas for trades because there are two primary ways I do it. The Dollar Stores, such as Dollar Tree /quotes/zigman/109619 /quotes/nls/dltr DLTR , as a short idea is a "top down" idea, meaning that I looked at the industry from the top down and then I had my team drill down and gather a ton of research and analysis for any Dollar Stores-related play. In this specific example, the idea of shorting the Dollar Stores came to me when I was walking to my garden (which survived the Little Bear Forest Fire, by the way!) with my girlfriend and her assistant who were talking about how they couldn't believe that our town was about to get a bunch more new Dollar Discount Stores even though we already had a bunch here. I've seen the retail sector cycle play out many times and the key to trading/investing in retail is to catch these chains when they are in expansion mode and to sell them when they get to saturation mode.
So my brain started turning because I knew that these Dollar Stores stocks are all up 500-1000% in the last few years as they were in the perfect storm for them to grow — a massive consumer "trade-down" in looking to pay less to save money as the unemployment rate skyrocketed and the average household net worth collapsed 40% just as these guys were getting into the cookie-cutter expansion mode.
So I started thinking that maybe we've got a great storm of our own here to try to catch the top of this classic retail sector cycle. So I sent my guys to work and started doing my analysis and holy cow — the more I worked on the set up, the more excited I got. So by the time I'd spoken to every retail analyst and money manager I know and they all, even the most bearish of them, thought my analysis made tons of sense but that they still thought these Dollar Stores are going to go through the roof from these levels, I started writing for you guys and picking the two best plays to bet against the Dollar Store boom. Now to be clear, I could still be wrong on this trade, but that is what we're here to find out.
Another example I'll give you is called "bottom up" analysis and I used it when buying Apple back in the spring of 2003. After spending years analyzing stocks, I've memorized a lot of company's balance sheets and earnings multiples and things like that. I knew that Apple /quotes/zigman/68270 /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL had a huge pile of cash in the bank, $8 per share to be exact at the time. And I have thousands of stock tickers blinking in front of me and I saw Apple drop 10% or so two or three days in a row as rumors circulated around the tech world that Apple was going to be buying Warner Music Group. I thought that sounded absolutely nuts and so I called around to my Apple sources (which at the time were MUCH more forthcoming with what the company was about to do) and they also thought that sounded absolutely nuts.
So when Apple got to $7 a share — meaning that I was buying the company essentially for free and that any future earnings would simply be gravy…I started buying Apple. As the company rolled out the iPod and its other iOS platforms soon thereafter, I saw the potential for Apple to change the way we were consuming music and I started telling my subscribers that within a couple years that Apple would be the world's largest music retailer.
At the time, they had less than 1% of the market. They were indeed the world's largest music retailer just a couple years later. And as Steve Jobs started rolling out better and more functional iPods, I started telling everybody that the company would in a couple years start selling "iMiniMacBookPros For Your Pocket" — the iPhone as it turned out. So I stuck with my Apple because my "bottom up" analysis, meaning I found the stock individually based on analysis for it and it alone, and not necessarily for the entire sector. "Top Down" means you start with a sector or an economic concept and then drill down.
"Bottom Up" means you start with an individual company and then move up to analyze its place in that sector and the broader economy. I use both Top Down and Bottom Up all the time. FIO is another Bottom Up analysis example. LPS is another Top Down analysis example.
The fellow who asked the question wrote back along with several other readers. To be sure, I have no silver bullet and I make mistakes using these very approaches all the time. But understanding how you arrive at actually picking a stock is one of the most important elements to long-term success. Here's what my sub wrote back by the way:
Thanks for the awesome answers Cody. This service is incredible. I think your analysis is correct. Give a man a fish and he can eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he can eat for a lifetime, anyway thanks and keep up the great work!

There is a family tradition in the Forgety family that there was a family feud which resulted in the name being changed from Forgey to Forgety. One of James Forgey's daughters maiden name was misspelled Forgety on her marriage record. I am not finding a perfect fit for this James Forgety in the Forgey family. If they are indeed related to the Forgey family it could be the result of illegitamacy or maybe a feud resulted in the lack of recognition by the family of a son? DNA may prove or disprove the link to the Forgey family.
I've seen James Forgety's named spelled as Forgarty, Fogarty, and the spelling that became the standard spelling Forgety. I've never seem it spelled Forgey.
|Jame Forgety and Wife Sally Manuel 1880 Washington County, VA ( Zack Clark may be a clue to more)
|1900 Census Hawkins County, Tennessee James Forgarty family NOT SON OF JAMES FORGEY AND RACHEL MILLER
|The First Marriage of James Forgety was to Sarah Manuel in 1879 NOT CORRECT SON OF JAMES FORGEY AND RACHEL MILLER
|John Forgey McMinn, Tennessee (James Forgety lived in Hawkins County, TN which was the original area of settlement for this Forgey family of McMinn, TN)
Our second candidate2) Bart. and Virginia Fogerty of Pulaski, Virginia. I found an Ellen Forgarty on the 1900 Census for Hawkins County, TN. She states she was born in Virginia in 1862. She also states she is single. It's possible that she married and divorced and changed her name back to her maiden name because I found a marriage for her also. It looks like I found her family (Bart. and Virginia) in Virginia and she did have a brother James. He was 14 in 1870. I have seen James year of birth as anywhere from 1847 to 1863? The problem with this is the fact that James Forgety most often said he was born in Tennessee other than the on the 1880 Census when Virginia was listed. He always stated his parents were born in Tennessee, never Ireland as Virginia and Bart said they were. said they were from. Also we don't have a similar naming pattern.
|Ellen Forgarty 1900 Census Hawkins County, TN
|We see Ellen had a brother James who would have been about the correct age for our James Forgety (1870 Census Pulaski, Virginia)
Our third Candidates
|James Fogarty family 1900 Census Sullivan County, TN (near Hawkins County, TN)
Our Fourth Candidates
|Mulatto Forgey Family 1880 Hawkins County, TN William Forgey and Lizzie Manuel
Our fifth Candidates
|William Fogarty was said to have been born in Tennessee in 1798 according to the 1870 Census
Missing records in Tennessee and Virginia is making the proper identification difficult. I think DNA is the onl way to go?

Finally, personalized search results seem to have arrived for the masses. Personalized search has long been promised as an important next step for increasing relevancy. Now it comes not from Google or Yahoo but instead from tiny Eurekster, which opens to the general public today. Prior to this, the site had been a beta test involving only a few hundred people over the past couple of months.
Personalized search? The concept has been that by knowing some things about you, a search engine might refine your results to make them more relevant. A teenager searching for music might get different matches than a senior citizen. A man looking for flowers might see different listings than a woman.
Eurekster's twist on this concept is to provide personalized results based not on who you are but who you know. Friends, colleagues and anyone in your Eurekster social network will influence the type of results you see.
"Word of mouth is the most common way we filter information in real life, and Eurekster amplifies this everyday process to deliver search results that matter most to users and their friends and contacts," said Grant Ryan, Eurekster's chief executive officer.
Search Filtered By Friends
For example, take a search for "thunderbirds," the popular Gerry Anderson television show that I loved as a kid and that my children are now enjoying on DVD. Without refinement, Eurekster brings back a variety of results, leading off with the US Air Force Thunderbirds flight team web site.
There's nothing wrong with the US Air Force site coming up first. After all, it's certainly relevant for this search. But I'm thinking of the sci-fi series. Scrolling down, I find the official site for the show listed in position three. By clicking on the site, my interest in it is registered by Eurekster.
Now picture that one of my friends does the same "thunderbirds" search. They'll see different results, based on my actions. The Thundersbirds TV show site moves up to position one, with a little Eurekster "e" icon next to it. That's to alert them that someone in their network likes this site. Since most of my friends are into sci-fi, this search will probably feel more relevant to them.
Return Of Clickthrough Refinement
Clickthrough refinement like this isn't new. Direct Hit and GlobalBrain were doing it back in late 1998 and early 1999. In fact, the two founders of GlobalBrain are behind Eurekster.
Why didn't clickthrough refinement take off? Spam clicks were a key drawback. If all it takes is a click to move your site to the top of the list, then people will click on themselves.
Indeed, that's exactly what happened. I can recall Direct Hit originally saying the basic spam protection they had in place at launch was deemed sufficient. A year later, Direct Hit told me they were into their seventh revision of protection.
Another issue is that link analysis provided much better relevancy than clickthrough refinement. Both Direct Hit and Google came to public attention at the same time in 1998. Google's use of link analysis delivered on the promise of better relevancy, while Direct Hit's use of clickthrough measurements didn't hold up, over time.
Why might Eurekster and clickthrough measurements succeed today? For one, link analysis itself is facing problems. Link spammers and others overtly manipulate links. Links are also created naturally in ways much different than in the past, polluting their usefulness in search. Personalization poses a potential next leap forward — and clickthrough measurement can provide that.
In addition, past uses of clickthrough measurements never delivered personalized results by default. Anyone was allowed to influence the results that everyone else saw. In Eurekster's system, only those within your search network can directly influence you. This effectively creates hundreds, thousands and even millions of different possible results for the same search.
Click spammers suddenly face many different "fronts" in the war to be in the top ten, and they only get to fight in that war by invitation — if someone they know asks them to be part of their network. Eurekster assumes "friends don't spam friends," and it's a pretty safe assumption.
"The things you do can impact your friends, but you wouldn't be putting a whole lot of spam, because the only people you'll be affecting are people you know and trust," Ryan said.
What Gets Counted?
For a page to be boosted, a person needs to click on it from the search results and stay at the page for at least a minute. If they do this, then Eurekster assumes the page was of good quality and gives it a boost for the search terms where it was originally found.
How does Eurekster know how long you spent viewing a page? It guesses. As with previous clickthrough systems, it watches to see when you return to your original search list and click on something else or conduct a new search. If either happens within a minute, then a site isn't credited for boosting.
Let's return to my "thunderbirds" search as an example. Assume I had visited one of the pages listed in the results but was dissatisfied immediately with what I saw. I might click the back button on my browser to get back to my original search results.
As soon as I clicked on another result, Eurekster could measure the time between my first click and the second. That time would be how long I spent visiting the first site I went to. If less than a minute, the site gets no credit.
Similarly, I might return and conduct an entirely new search. Now Eurekster would measure the time between my first click and my next search — knowing who I am, since I would be logged in.
What about those who click from results and open new windows? That's the way I normally surf results. In this case, it's no different than as described above. If I go back to the window containing my original results and click on something, or do a new search, then Eurekster can do the time measurement.
Finally, what if I don't go back for some time after selecting a page? Then Eurekster will assume I was at the page for at least a minute, giving it a boost.
Spreading The Credit
As mentioned, my actions should only directly influence other people in my network. However, my actions can spread to other networks, assuming there's a link between them.
For instance, let's say I have a friend named Michelle in my network. Anything I do directly impacts what Michelle sees and vice versa. However, Michelle is also connected with another network of people I don't know. She forms a bridge between my network and this other one. Eurekster will allow some learning to move across due to this bridge.
"We have an advanced way to determine how results propagate around the network, so people beyond yours can learn," Ryan said.
But what about the idea that you don't want clicks to go outside a network to avoid spam problems? The first defense remains that any clicks have the most direct impact on your own network. However, Eurekster can also monitor whether a particular person seems to be providing bad click information and take counter-actions, if so.
"We can build up a profile of how your suggestions have been doing. If none of your friends like them, you can build up an understanding if someone is trying to do something that is not good," Ryan said.
Ultimately, Eurekster understands that spam may still happen, no matter what systems are in place. However, they hope that personalization makes the challenge much more a deterrent.
"We suspect this will be quite a difficult thing to spam, not that people won't be trying," Ryan said.
The potential of using your friends or colleagues is enormous. Imagine Eurekster being used by all the employees of a medical research firm, where many might do similar medical-related queries. With Eurekster, all the employees can be linked together and benefit from the searches and selections made by their colleagues.
Libraries are another institution that might latch on to the Eurekster concept. Librarians are constantly asked by patrons for assistance. Eurekster would allow librarians to collaborate invisibly with each other and share what they've found to be the best for various queries.
There are downsides. Not all of my friends have the same interests as me. In addition, as my social network grows — because my friends invite their friends and so on — commonalities that are useful get diluted.
Some type of categorization will almost certainly be necessary. I can imagine dividing my network into subgroups, for example. All my colleagues who cover search would be in one group, my fellow youth group volunteers in another, my friends who live in California in their own and my friends who live in the UK in a fourth. Depending on the search I do, I might want to share and refine my search in some way with a particular group, to benefit from a particular commonality.
Such functionality is coming over the next few months, Eurekster says, as well as the ability to group contacts by interests, such as sports or business. In that way, you can also get a sense of what's hot by those who are into particular subjects.
"You can see what the search results are like with different hats on and do that different categorization," Ryan said.
Sharing Searches, Sites
Eurekster does more than refine your results. It can also show you the things that other people in your network are looking for. So when I searched for "thunderbirds," anyone one else in my network sees that query get listed in the "Your Friends Recent Searches" area in the right-hand column of the Eurekster search results page.
This can be pretty cool. When I saw "Firewire backups on sale" show up in that area, I knew one of my friends was looking for a Firewire backup solution. As it turns out, I'd just bought a similar solution of my own. So, I clicked on the small envelope icon that appeared next to the query. This let me email the person, to say I had info they might be interested in.
My network is incredibly small — all of three people right now. I had a pretty good idea who had done this search, but I wanted to just test out the functionality. The idea behind it is more of the opposite. If you see a search that someone has done, you can get in touch with that person perhaps to discover what they found.
The email feature only appears for those in your direct network or extended network (where other networks are linked to yours by a common contact). Don't want to get emailed? Then you can opt-out using your account preferences.
I actually thought it might be useful to have an option where you can choose to let anyone email you, even if they aren't part of your network. To me, it could be a great way to build up new people, by spotting queries that you have in common. It could come, but Eurekster is keeping things limited, for the moment.
"As always, when you start a service, you try to set the default to what you think people would like," Ryan said.
Of course, what your friends look for is supposed to help you more directly, by influencing the actual listings you see when you search for the same thing. So, you needn't email for help. Just search for the same thing that you've seen someone else look for. Any site they liked, as determined by Eurekster, will be flagged with that "e" icon.
Eurekster will also display "Your Friends Recent Sites," which are sites those in your network have recently been to. It also keeps track of the top queries and sites visited by those in your network, as well.
Staying Private
While I love my friends, I don't want them seeing everything I search for. And in a small network like mine, it's pretty easy for others to guess who might have looked for something.
To protect privacy, Eurekster makes it possible to do a "private search" by checking a box below the search box. Do this, and your search will not be shared with others. Should you forget, you can click on a small X symbol that shows up next to any queries you've done, to remove them.
Both opt-out features are welcomed, but I'd still prefer that the default action be that all searches are private. The downside to this is that if people don't remember to share their searches when appropriate, the network doesn't function as it should. However, I think that by making all searches public by default, people will inevitably share material they don't want out there.
It's important to note that your actual name is never displayed alongside a query or a site that was visited. In addition, the larger your network gets, the more anonymous you become. Say you have 30 or more people in your network. Guessing at who did a particular search or visited a particular site becomes harder. Also, a porn filter does prevent porn queries from being displayed, a further bit of protection against some possibly embarrassing queries.
Aside from privacy from your friends, what about privacy in general? Yes, you will get a cookie with a unique user ID, which is the main issue that some have had with other search engines such as Google. Unlike Google and other major search engines, the cookie doesn't last for years. It expires after a year, if you don't revisit Eurekster.
Of course, being cookied with a unique ID or cookied for a long time isn't necessarily a problem, and my Search Privacy At Google & Other Search Engines article from last year covers this in depth. Instead, Eurekster brings in the entirely different issue also addressed in that article, that you are a known, registered individual (rather than an anonymous cookie ID) and linked to particular searches. That makes it much easier for your data to potentially be abused.
The How Eurekster Works page provides some assurances about privacy. The company says it won't reveal who did a particular search or visited a particular site. However, I suspect it would do this if legally compelled to. The policy also doesn't address how long your searches are retained. Some like Google Watch and the EFF believe such data should be destroyed on a regular basis.
Ultimately, anyone with serious concerns about privacy may shy away from the service, something Eurekster recognizes. In order to work properly, it does need to monitor what you search for and what you visit. The company hopes the promise of anonymity and extra tools to explicitly keep some things private will satisfy most concerns.
"To do personalization, we have to have some information, and we give you the ability to delete that information to make it private. In the future, we will give users even more tools by which to further control their data," Ryan said.
Google Replacement Or Enhancement?
Eurekster is not a replacement for Google, Inktomi or other search engines that crawl the web. Indeed, Eurekster has no listings of its own. Instead, it works to refine the results that are provided by others.
When you search on Eurekster, the listings are coming from Yahoo-owned AllTheWeb, which is an excellent search engine. Eurekster then alters those results depending on the choices made by your social network.
Eurekster can also do this for any other search engine, as well. AllTheWeb is being used because the company has an agreement with to use its listings (and also carries Yahoo-owned Overture paid listings, which appear under the Sponsored Search Results heading). Eurekster could strike an agreement with other companies and do the same on their own sites.
"This doesn't replace the algorithmic [crawler-based" results," Ryan said. "We want to partner with anyone and everyone. We see it as an additional layer that adds value."
The company says some search companies have expressed interest, though it wouldn't name any. Eurekster's sister company SLI has a relationship with some smaller search companies, such as Comet Systems, Excite Networks and CNET's Search.com to provide related searches technology. So, perhaps we'll see some movement with these partners first.
Eurekster also sees its system as something that may be of interest to social network web sites. These are places such as LinkedIn, Friendster, Tribe and Rhyz. They let you meet people based on who you already know, and they've been gaining recent attention from the press and surfing public.
"There's lots of people who want to grow their own networks, so we're kind of network agnostic," Ryan said. "We're happy to work with anyone's private network."
Incidentally, it was rumored that Google tried to buy Friendster last year. While that doesn't seemed to have panned out, Google perhaps is still interested in starting a social network of its own. Evidence? Try a search for social networks on Google and notice that an ad for jobs at Google comes up. Is it recruiting? If so, I didn't find any jobs explicitly mentioning this.
If not social networking, we certainly know that Google has a number of personalization technologies at its disposal. Google bought Kaltix last year, a start-up company of three people that attracted attention by promising undisclosed advances in personalized search. Back in 2001, Google acquired Outride, another firm experimenting with personalized search results.
Choose Your Engine?
One feature I'd love to see is the ability to use Eurekster with your favorite search engine. I think it would help in getting people to try it. Those comfortable with Google, for example, might want to run Eurekster "on top" of Google's results.
Such a thing will require Eurekster to strike new agreements, and it doesn't have one with Google, for the moment. But the company did express interest in my idea that perhaps it could let users make use of their own Google API keys, in order to legitimately call Google's results into Eurekster. If this happens, I'll pass along more details.
Will Personalization Fly?
I started out by calling Eurekster tiny, but the company has a wealth of search refinement experience. Go back in time to GlobalBrain, which was a promising search technology that I wrote about in 1998. GlobalBrain was founded by brothers Grant and Shaun Ryan. Snap — then later called NBCi — bought GlobalBrain but failed to take the technology forward as the company pulled back from search in the wake of the dotcom crash.
The Ryans bought back the GlobalBrain technology and founded SLI Systems. As mentioned, SLI systems has been using it so far to provide related search functionality to a number of minor search sites, handling 300 million queries per month, the company says. Now SLI is one of the cofounding companies behind Eurekster (the other being social networking company RealContacts, also founded by the Ryans).
Will the second time out be lucky for the Ryans? It remains to be seen. But one thing's for certain. Unlike back in 1999, the majors are showing a real interest in personalized search.
Google (see News.com), Yahoo (see Wall Street Journal) and AOL (see Search Engine Watch) have all made public statements that they view personalization as a vital step forward in improving search — and as mentioned earlier, Google even owns at least two companies, Kaltix and Outride, that were involved with it.
Eurekster is first out of the block for 2004, but we'll likely see the others follow, in some way. Past issues about privacy and user resistance will remain, (see Google May Get Personal & Searching for the personal touch), but there appears the will on the part of the majors to solve these issues.

"Let the Love of Learning Rule Humanity"
(Philosophía Krateítõ Phõtôn)
The history of Phi Kappa Phi has been characterized by a constancy of purpose and an unswerving commitment to its mission. It was a desire to effect change that brought ten senior students, two faculty members, and the school president together in 1897 at the University of Maine. Under the leadership of undergraduate student Marcus L. Urann, they sought to create an honor society that was different from the few others then in existence-one that recognized and honored excellence in all academic disciplines. Thus was born Lambda Sigma Eta (later to be renamed Phi Kappa Phi), a community of scholars whose membership has grown to more than one million.
There are today chapters of Phi Kappa Phi on the campuses of nearly 300 colleges and universities in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. Phi Kappa Phi has been and remains a unifying force for academic excellence on these campuses, inducting high-ranking undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, professional staff, and alumni. From the original thirteen members in 1897, the Society now annually confers membership on more than 30,000 persons. Today's initiates, like those who preceded them, are the "best and brightest" and will greatly influence economic, political, social, and educational life in the coming decades.
Phi Kappa Phi members represent the best and brightest from all academic
disciplines-a community of scholars that is leaving an enviable legacy
for future generations.
Membership in Phi Kappa Phi is by invitation and requires nomination and approval by a chapter.
To be eligible for membership:
If you think you meet the criteria described above and have not been
invited to membership, you may contact an officer from your chapter.
Every effort is made to keep the cost of membership in Phi Kappa Phi
affordable for current and prospective members. At initiation, the
candidate will pay certain national and chapter fees. The national
portion, $40, pays for the PKP pin, a certificate, and one year of
national dues. This entitles the member to receive the Society's
quarterly publications, the Phi Kappa Phi Forum magazine and the Phi Kappa Phi Focus Newsletter. Chapter fees, which vary from chapter to chapter, cover the cost of the banquet or reception and local dues.
See the National Phi Kappa Phi web site for more information.

Dr. Rich Lei, President
Janet Savery, Membership Coordinator
Dr. George Gummerman, Scholarship/Award Coordinator

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Mar. 26, 2012) – Just two days after clinching its first conference series win of the season, the ETSU baseball team returns home for a non-conference matchup against Radford on Tuesday at Thomas Stadium.
First pitch is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. with live audio and live stats available for fans unable to attend Tuesday's game.
Freshman right-hander Jimmy Nesselt (Plantation, Fla.) (1-2, 3.42 ERA), who picked up his first career win last Tuesday against UNC Asheville, will take the mound for the Bucs. Nesselt has tossed 21 innings and has given up 10 hits, eight runs and four walks, while striking out 11. He leads the Atlantic Sun in opponent's batting average as he is only allowing the opposition to hit .149 against him.
Nesselt will be opposed by Radford right-hander Jake Palese (3-0, 3.54 ERA). Palese has tossed 28 innings with 30 hits, 14 runs, 11 earned runs and six walks given up so far this season.
Sophomore Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.) continues to lead the Bucs at the plate with a .384 batting average to go along with three home runs and 19 RBI. Meanwhile, Matthew Scruggs (Knoxville, Tenn.) is batting .294 with a league-leading 10 home runs. Scruggs also leads the squad with 20 RBI and a .694 slugging percentage. Derek Niesman (Wellington, Fla.) and Dylan Pratt (Johnson City, Tenn.) continue to swing hot bats as well with both batting at a .300 clip or better.
The Bucs are coming off a series win at Florida Gulf Coast over the weekend. ETSU got stellar pitching performances by its starters all weekend long with the pitching staff only allowing four earned runs in 28 innings. After dropping game one, the Bucs battled back to win the next two games of the series.
Radford currently sits at 14-10 after most recently sweeping a weekend conference series over UNC Asheville. The Highlanders head into the contest with a six-game winning streak dating back to March 17.
Radford is led at the plate by Matt Hillsinger as he leads the squad in batting average (.374), home runs (five), slugging percentage (.582) and on-base percentage (.460). Meanwhile, Jeff Kemp is hitting .333 and leads the team in doubles (11), triples (five) and RBI (29).
ETSU leads the all-time series against Radford, 19-14. The Bucs and Highlanders have split the last eight meetings, including a two-game split in Johnson City last season.

Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passersby, and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it, but the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone. But the Earth endures, the Earth is eternal" - Earl Hamner

I'm constantly racking my brain for creative, cost-effective gifts to give. With Father's Day quickly approaching, I wanted to come up with something different and useful that my girls could help me create. We have enough artwork to cover a few miles of the great wall; we have enough painted mugs, bowls and plates to keep Tavern on the Green up and running and enough painted pots, patio pavers and bird feeders to remain to eyesore of the neighborhood. Not that I don't adore and cherish each an every one of these handmade projects, but one can only have so many…
While making a list of my husband's favorite pastimes, I kept coming back to how much we enjoy spending our evenings outside. Grilling is a big part of that. So this year, we are going to make him three different types of homemade barbeque sauce. It's a fun activity that the kids can help with, and the gift is practical because we know he'll use and enjoy it. Plus, it won't clutter the front porch or the front of the refrigerator!
I've listed a few of my favorite BBQ sauce recipes below, each with its own distinctive flavor and style. You might enjoy trying one style you're familiar with, and one that's new to you. You can find a variety of bottle styles and sizes at many different retailers such as The Container Store.
Have the kids decorate a different label (a simple piece of paper that can be glued onto the bottle). Finally, secure the bottles in a nice box among some hickory wood chips (found at most grocery stores). The wood chips are a great packing material as well as grill starter. If you don't have the time or desire to make your own BBQ sauce, purchase a favorite store brand, soak off the label and affix your own for the same effect.
Here are some of my preferred BBQ sauce recipes, all from the wonderful site AllRecipes.com:
Big Al's K.C. Bar-B-Q Sauce
By: Alan Arthur
"This is a Kansas City-style sauce that I make in my restaurant. It is sweet and smoky with a little bite."

Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ready In: 35 minutes
Servings: 48
- 2 cups ketchup
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1 1/4 cups red wine vinegar
