Somebody's gunning for Josh Michaels. They must be. There's no other reason why a stranger would run him off the road, taunt him with a "thumbs-down", and leave him to die. Josh may have made some messy mistakes in the past, but who's suddenly decided that he's worth more dead than alive? As more and more near-fatal accidents befall him, there can be no denying it: he's got a bull's-eye on his back. But why? Is it revenge? Mistaken identity? Or is it something far more insidious?
As Josh runs for his life, he does his best to run down the truth. What he uncovers makes his blood run cold. But no one, not even the cops, will believe that he's the latest victim of a sinister conspiracy determined to cash in on his corpse.

Whole Foods Market cochief executive John Mackey, not known for muffling his opinions, says US businesses are "under attack" from critics who unfairly malign capitalism.
Speaking at a Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce breakfast Thursday, Mackey said the public perception of how most companies operate is out of line with reality.
Obamacare 'fascism' and global warming good ??
It isnt the public perception of private enterprises that is out of line with reality. Mackey belongs, by his own choice, in the back seat of the Republican Clown Car with the Gold Standard, hate crowd of knuckledragging bible thumpers.
What a surprise that he views everything he does daily as the best thing since sliced bread.
How amazing that he appears at a chamber of commerce book promo spewing this type of backslapping treacle. The amazing thing is that the Globe just reported it as if the press release were journalism. Pathetic but underscores the way in which the Globe cant escape its own business biases. Doesnt even see them.
This guy equates the creation of "value" (commodities) as inherently good. What about all the waste that comes with these commodities. Not to mention the brain-washing (marketing) that has gone on to convince people that the accumulation of stuff is more important than their relations with their fellow humans. There is no conceivable way that the planet can survive the laws of capitalism that demand expansion or death. A new system is needed. One that values people over profit. One that equitably plans the distribution of wealth to eliminate hunger, poverty, and disease. Corporate apologists claim that people are inherently lazy (the 47%?) and socialism makes them lazier. I disagree. It's capitalism makes people value getting something for nothing. Those who do little work own...those that do all the work struggle. A new system that flips this relationship and demands that all people have the right to a job will set the basis for changing how people look at their responsibility to the common good. Something that no self-respecting capitalist has ever cared much about.
I too think about how glorious capitalism is when I step into the Whole Foods produce department and see the perfectly stacked, shiny red apples priced at twice what they sell for at your neighborhood Stop & Shop.
What Mackey has done with Whole Foods is to take the whole philosophy of the food co-op, which began as the (oat) grain of an idea in chuch basements in the 60's and 70's, and given flower to it throughout the country. But like every flower that wilts and dies, capitalism also goes through its throes.
Both products and companies have a shelf date. And despite Mr. Mackey's infatuation with the glories of his version of capitalism, one day Whole Foods will wither and die, replaced by the better executed plan of a more vividly conceived dream. Likely, it will not be a fascist dream, but one also rooted in the capitalist tradition.

Capitalism is a good thing when not abused. The profit motive indeed helps to drive efficiency. Don't you work harder if you know you can make more money doing so? The problem is that so many in control abuse the privilege. CEOs often take short-term actions despite negative long-term consequences. CEOs should be compensated for long-term performance. And I mean long-term, like after 10 years. Sure, provide some short-term compensation. While a CEO who retires is no longer in control, why not be held accountable for building a long-lasting brand or product and for hiring people who also will foster a long-term view. No, the system is corrupt, and has become more so. It would be easy for Boards to incent CEOs to take a long-term view, but Board members, too, are a part of the corruption and gain from the same short-term incentives.
A lot of these whiny comments prove Mackey is correct. The guy's a successful businessman who sells good food at decent prices and treats his employees well. He isn't friends with a terrorist like Bill Ayers and hasn't patronized underaged Dominican hookers. And yet he remains a target for the bedwetters.

Ambient music is music that is designed to be part of the environment. It focuses on sonic texture rather than composition or rhythm. Ambient music typically lacks variety but has developed a set of distinct sub-genres. As a genre it originated in the United Kingdom at a time when new sound-making devices such as the synthesizer, were being introduced to a wider market. Brian Eno was an early pioneer of ambient music. Its popularity peaked in the early 1990s. The Orb and Aphex Twin gained commercial success with ambient tracks. Ambient compositions are often quite lengthy, much longer than more popular, commercial forms of music. Some pieces can reach a half an hour or more in length.
Contents |
History [edit]
Developing in the 1970s, ambient stemmed from the experimental and synthesizer-oriented styles of the period,[2] while being influenced by Kraftwerk and Klaus Schulze; nevertheless, the dance and techno music of the 1980s also played an important role in the genre. Brian Eno is regarded as ambient's founder.[3] The concept of background or furniture music had already existed some time before, yet Eno created ambient by fusing elements of environmental music with electronic music. Ambient's sound was additionally influenced in part by space rock and Krautrock.
As a genre, ambient music focuses on creating a mood or atmosphere through synthesizers and timbral qualities. It often lacks the presence of any net composition, beat, or structured melody. Due to its relatively open style, ambient music often takes influences from many other genres, ranging from house, dub, industrial and new age, amongst several others. Since it is a relatively ambiguous term,[4] ambient has no distinct characteristics, and its style can vary a great deal. In essence, it is a term to describe any form of electronic music which puts an emphasis on tone and atmosphere over traditional musical structure or rhythm. Ambient music is often highly conceptual and experimental in style, while it is said to evoke an "atmospheric",[5] "visual"[6] or "unobtrusive" quality.[7]
Ambient did not achieve large commercial success, being criticized as having a "boring" and "over-intellectual" sound.[4] Nevertheless, it has also attained a certain degree of acclaim throughout the years. It had its first wave of popularity in the 1970s, yet saw a revival towards the late-1980s with the prominence of house and techno music, growing a cult following by the 1990s.[2]
As an early 20th century French composer, Erik Satie used such Dadaist-inspired explorations to create an early form of ambient / background music that he labeled "furniture music" (Musique d'ameublement). This he described as being the sort of music that could be played during a dinner to create a background atmosphere for that activity, rather than serving as the focus of attention.[8]
Brian Eno is generally credited with coining the term "Ambient Music" in the mid-1970s to refer to music that, as he stated, can be either "actively listened to with attention or as easily ignored, depending on the choice of the listener", and that exists on the "cusp between melody and texture".[8] Eno, who describes himself as a "non-musician", termed his experiments in sound as "treatments" rather than as traditional performances. Eno used the word "ambient" to describe music that creates an atmosphere that puts the listener into a different state of mind; having chosen the word based on the Latin term "ambire", "to surround".[9]
The album notes accompanying Eno's 1978 release Ambient 1: Music for Airports include a manifesto describing the philosophy behind his ambient music: "Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting."[10]
Eno has acknowledged the influence of Erik Satie and John Cage. In particular, Eno was aware of Cage's use of chance such as throwing the I Ching to directly affect the creation of a musical composition. Eno then utilised a similar method of weaving randomness into his compositional structures. This approach was manifested in Eno's creation of Oblique Strategies, where he used a set of specially designed cards to create various sound dilemmas that in turn, were resolved by exploring various open ended paths, until a resolution to the musical composition revealed itself. Eno also acknowledged influences of the drone music of La Monte Young (of whom he said, "La Monte Young is the daddy of us all"[11]) and of the mood music of Miles Davis and Teo Macero, especially their 1974 epic piece, "He Loved Him Madly", about which Eno wrote, "that piece seemed to have the 'spacious' quality that I was after...it became a touchstone to which I returned frequently."[9]
Beyond the major influence of Brian Eno, other musicians and bands added to the growing nucleus of music that evolved around the development of "Ambient Music". While not an exhaustive list, one cannot ignore the parallel influences of Wendy Carlos, who produced the original music piece called "Timesteps" which was then used as the filmscore to Clockwork Orange, as well as her later work Sonic Seasonings. Other significant artists such as Mike Oldfield, Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis, also Russian electronic music pioner Mikhail Chekalin, have all added to or directly influenced the evolution of ambient music. Adding to these individual artists, works by groups such as Pink Floyd, through their albums Ummagumma, Meddle and Obscured by Clouds. The Yellow Magic Orchestra developed a distinct style of ambient electronic music that would later be developed into ambient house music.[12]
1990s developments [edit]
By the early 1990s artists such as The Orb, Aphex Twin, Seefeel, the Irresistible Force, Geir Jenssen's Biosphere, and the Higher Intelligence Agency were being referred to by the popular music press as ambient house, ambient techno, IDM or simply "ambient" according to the liner notes of Brian Eno's Ambient 1: Music for Airports:
" | Ambient Music is intended to induce calm and a space to think. | " |
So-called 'Chillout' began as a term deriving from British ecstasy culture which was originally applied in relaxed downtempo 'chillout rooms' outside of the main dance floor where ambient, dub and downtempo beats were played to ease the tripping mind.[13][14]
The London scene artists, such as Aphex Twin (specifically: Selected Ambient Works Volume II, 1994), Global Communication (76:14, 1994), FSOL The Future Sound of London (Lifeforms, ISDN), The Black Dog (Temple of Transparent Balls, 1993), Another Green World (Invisible Landscape,1996), Autechre (Incunabula, 1993, Amber), Boards of Canada, and The KLF's seminal Chill Out, 1990, all took a part in popularising and diversifying ambient music where it was used as a calming respite from the intensity of the hardcore and techno popular at that time.[13]
Related and derivative genres [edit]
Nature-inspired ambient music [edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (February 2013) |
The music is composed from samples and recordings of naturally occurring sounds. Sometimes these samples can be treated to make them more instrument-like. The samples may be arranged in repetitive ways to form a conventional musical structure or may be random and unfocused. Sometimes the sound is mixed with urban or "found" sounds. Examples include much of Biosphere's Substrata, Mira Calix's insect music and Chris Watson's Weather Report. Some overlap occurs between organic ambient and nature-inspired New Age. One of the first albums in the genre, Wendy Carlos' Sonic Seasonings, combines sampled and synthesized nature sounds with ambient melodies and drones for a particularly relaxing effect. Transformation by Suzanne Doucet and Christian Buehner and the album Second Nature by Bill Laswell, Tetsu Inoue, and Atom Heart are ambient albums that use processed nature sounds, with reverb and echo to create a hypnotic environment. Douglas Leedy's Entropical Paradise, released as a three LP set by Seraphim in 1971, consisting of six, side-long, compositions of "environmental music", in which single modular synthesizer settings were allowed to play out without further intervention. Alio Die music is a fusion of acoustical elements, organic samples, field recordings.
Dark ambient [edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (February 2013) |
Dark ambient is a general term for any kind of ambient music with a "dark" or dissonant feel, but often involves extensive use of digital reverb to create vast sonic spaces for frightening, bottom-heavy sounds such as deep drones, gloomy male chorus, echoing thunder, and distant artillery. It has an eerie feel; the term "isolationist ambient" could be used interchangeably with it according to the listener or artists perspective. Some artists and releases that epitomize the style could include Bass Communion's Ghosts on Magnetic Tape and Vajrayana, Lull's Cold Summer, Controlled Bleeding's The Poisoner, the Robert Rich/Lustmord collaboration album Stalker and Burzum's albums Dauði Baldrs and Hliðskjálf, many albums by Mathias Grassow . Related styles include ambient industrial and isolationist ambient.
Ambient house [edit]
Ambient house is a musical category founded in the late 1980s that is used to describe acid house featuring ambient music elements and atmospheres.[15] Tracks in the ambient house genre typically feature four-on-the-floor beats, synth pads, and vocal samples integrated in an atmospheric style.[15] Ambient house tracks generally lack a diatonic center and feature much atonality along with synthesized chords. Illbient is another form of ambient house music.
Ambient industrial [edit]
Ambient industrial is a hybrid genre of ambient and industrial music; the term industrial being used in the original experimental sense, rather than in the sense of industrial metal or EBM.[16] A "typical" ambient industrial work (if there is such a thing) might consist of evolving dissonant harmonies of metallic drones and resonances, extreme low frequency rumbles and machine noises, perhaps supplemented by gongs, percussive rhythms, bullroarers, distorted voices or anything else the artist might care to sample (often processed to the point where the original sample is no longer recognizable).[16] Entire works may be based on radio telescope recordings, the babbling of newborn babies, or sounds recorded through contact microphones on telegraph wires.[16]
Among the many artists who work in this area are Coil, Controlled Bleeding, CTI, Deutsch Nepal, Hafler Trio, Lustmord, Nocturnal Emissions, PGR, Thomas Köner, Minóy, Zoviet France,[16] Nine Inch Nails, Susumu Yokota, Scorn and Heimkveld Kunst. However, many of these artists are very eclectic in their output, with much of it falling outside of ambient industrial per se.[16]
Space music [edit]
Space music, also spelled spacemusic, includes music from the ambient genre as well as a broad range of other genres with certain characteristics in common to create the experience of contemplative spaciousness.[17][18][19] Space music ranges from simple to complex sonic textures sometimes lacking conventional melodic, rhythmic, or vocal components,[20][21] generally evoking a sense of "continuum of spatial imagery and emotion",[22] beneficial introspection, deep listening[23] and sensations of floating, cruising or flying.[24][25]
Space music is used by individuals for both background enhancement and foreground listening, often with headphones, to stimulate relaxation, contemplation, inspiration and generally peaceful expansive moods[26] and soundscapes. Space music is also a component of many film soundtracks and is commonly used in planetariums, as a relaxation aid and for meditation.[27]
Hearts of Space is a well-known radio show and affiliated record label, specializing in space music since 1984, having released over 150 albums devoted to the music style. Notable artists who have brought elements of ambient music to space music include Michael Stearns, Constance Demby, Jean Ven Robert Hal, Enigma, Jean Michel Jarre, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Robert Rich, Darshan Ambient, Steve Roach, Numina, Dweller at the Threshold, Jonn Serrie, Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream (as well as the group's founder Edgar Froese), and Vangelis.[citation needed]
Isolationist ambient music [edit]
Isolationist ambient music, also known as isolationism, can be differentiated from other forms of ambient music in its use of repetition, dissonance, microtonality, and unresolved harmonies to create a sense of unresolved unease and desolation.[28] The term was popularized in the mid-1990s by the British magazine The Wire and the Ambient 4: Isolationism compilation from Virgin, this began as more or less a synonym for ambient industrial, but also inclusive of certain post-metal streams of ambient, such as Final, Lull, Main, or post-techno artists such as Autechre and Aphex Twin. It may be less appropriate to call isolationist ambient a genre than using it to describe the style or "feel" of particular works by an artist working in an ambient mode. This is because many artists better known for other styles of work can occasionally create pieces that "sound" isolationist. (For example, Labradford, Seefeel, Kyle Bobby Dunn, Techno Animal, Voice of Eye, KK Null, etc.)[29] There are many labels releasing work that could be termed isolationist ambient, among these are Malignant Records, Cold Spring, Manifold Records, Soleilmoon, and The Sombient label with the "drones" compilation series. Some of the artists known for this style of ambient music include Lull, Final, Bass Communion, M.A/V.E - Musica.Arte/Video. Experimental, Deutsch Nepal, Inanna, Negru Voda, Thomas Köner, Robert Fripp, Steven Wilson, and Chuck Hammer (Guitarchitecture).[citation needed]
Of late[when?] there has been an influx of progressive metal artists who have clear ambient influences. Bands such as Cult of Luna, Isis, Devil Sold His Soul, Porcupine Tree have pioneered the genre and are largely credited with popularizing the sound. These bands are largely known as post-metal.[citation needed]
Ambient dub [edit]
Ambient dub involves the genre melding of dub styles made famous by King Tubby and other Jamaican sound artists with DJ inspired ambient electronica, complete with all the inherent drop-outs, echo, equalization and psychedelic electronic effects. It often features layering techniques and incorporates elements of world music deep bass lines and harmonic sounds which evolve.[30] As writer and performer David Toop explains in an early Beyond Records newsletter, "Dub music is like a long echo delay, looping through time...turning the rational order of musical sequences into an ocean of sensation."[this quote needs a citation]
Notable artists within the genre include Dreadzone, Higher Intelligence Agency, The Orb, Loop Guru, Woob and Transglobal Underground[31] as well as Banco de Gaia and Another Green World.
Ethno ambient [edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (February 2013) |
Ethnoambient (Ethno ambient) is a type of music that draws heavily from acoustic ethnic music - both in musical structure and instrumentation, electric world music, and combines those influences with ambient music related to texture, technological manipulations, and field recordings. Ethno ambient is related in spirit to techno tribal, ethno techno, and especially to "Fourth World" music and "ambient" music, launched in the late 1970s by Jon Hassell and Brian Eno, respectively. Practitioners of ethno ambient music include Bill Laswell, Steve Roach, Alio Die, Adi Lukovac, Robert Rich, Gayan Uttejak, Vidna Obmana, Ian Naismith, Jah Wobble, Max Corbacho, Bruno Sanfilippo, Ujjaya, Frore and Paul Haslinger.

Disabled College Student Works to Improve Lives of Others With Technology
OCC second year student Nick Tyler to continue studying computer science after graduation this month
When Nick Tyler graduates from Ocean County College in Toms River, N.J. later this month, he'll do so with a dual mission in mind: continue his computer science studies at Kean University, then use his programming skills to make life easier for those with disabilities. For his efforts, Tyler has been chosen as Huffington Post's Greatest Person of the Day. Tyler, of Brick Township, N.J., relies on technology to help him navigate life on a daily basis to a much greater extent than most people. He was born with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, which has resulted in his having limited control of his arms and legs, as well as his voice. "Since my muscles are affected, I have a difficult time being understood," he said, through a voice synthesizer …

At best, we only have 3 Wide Receivers under contract. Would you sign someone in free agency, look to our practice squad, or get one or two in the draft?. Take into consideration also that Emmanual Sanders has had injuries
At best, we only have 3 Wide Receivers under contract. Would you sign someone in free agency, look to our practice squad, or get one or two in the draft?. Take into consideration also that Emmanual Sanders has had injuries
This is a fantastic and deep WR draft especially for big physical WRs. I would take two who can help on special teams in the middle rounds or late in the draft (we may have 3 7th rounders). Derrick Williams and Jimmy Young should be able to challenge for a spot as well. I think the Steelers will look to add one vet minimum FA receiver. But, if we sign Wallace to a long term contract, that might not even happen. This team will be very young at WR.
2013 Draft
1 Ezekial Ansah OLB BYU 65 271 (sky high potential)
2 Khaseem Greene ILB Rutgers 61 241 (cat quick, explosive hitter)
3 Steadman Bailey WR WVU 510 193 (fantastic route runner)
4 LeVeon Bell RB Michigan St 61 230 (Good fit for zone scheme)
5 J. J. Wilcox SS Ga Southern 6 213 (athletic, fluid in coverage)
6 Omoregie Uzzi OG Georgia Tech 63 302 (quick, zone gem)
7 Micah Hyde CB Iowa 6 197 (rangy corner with speed)
7 Vinston Painter OT Virginia Tech 64 305 (athletic OL project)
They'll probably grab one in the draft. The wildcard is Cotchery.
Provided that his demands are reasonable, I'd first look to bring back Cotchery. If Cotchery does not return, I would look for at least a one veteran WR to thrown into the mix. Some names that could make sense include Legedu Nanee or Devin Aromashdu. Bryant Johnson and Maurice Stovall are bigger WRs who could fit as possession receivers, and Greg Camarillo is another guy on the market. Aside from that, there aren't a lot of veterans out there.
I like the idea of Crotchery but he didn't impress me at all last year. He had a huge drop in the Denver game too.... everyone focuses on Wallace's drop but Crotchery's 3rd down drop when he was wide open over the middle was much worse.
That was a big drop, but every receiver drops a ball here and their. Welker had a huge drop in the SB -- I think I'd be ok with him as a slot receiver for Ben.
Cotchery isn't a game breaker, but he is a solid veteran who knows how to get open. I also think there is a lot to be said for having a veteran presence on the roster.
When Cotchery got healthy he was a solid producer. Moving the chains. That's what we need in this offense.
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
Not as desperate as it seems YET.
Wallace is here for NOW. Cotchery hasn't left YET.
Brown and Sanders.
That's 4 out of the minimum 5. We know they'll likely draft at least 1.
So at this point, there's 5 on the opening day roster. We sometimes keep only 5 though with a rookie, likely we'll grab some ST ace similar to Battle as the 6th.
Then we make moves as we lose Cotch or Wallace. We can't really replace them til they leave. If we sign a solid no.4 vet, then Cotch leaves for sure. No reason to preempt that move.
So we sit, prepare for a mid- to late round pick. And that's that.
I'd look at bringing Ward back for 1 more season

Kim Kardashian is a jack of all trades that's for sure – model, actress, actor, product promoter and no, singer. Kim recently talked more about her upcoming debut single: "I wanted to do something that I had never done before, something that was a little bit out of my comfort zone, So, I tried it and it was fun."
Well known hip hop producer The-Dream who has previously worked on Rihanna tracks, helped Kardashian record the song which has 50% of it's profits going towards cancer research. According to the Kim the song is: "like a pop dance song,", and released "in about three weeks." Kim describes her voice as "cute"!
At this stage we don't know if this is a long term career move or just some fun.
In other Kim Kardashian news, Kim was spotted with boyfriend Kris Humphries, sister Khloe Kardashian ad Lamar Odom at a party in Los Angeles recently (Pics below).
The Kardashian family also graced the cover of "The Hollywood Reporter", so that's an astonishing 4 magazine covers for Kim already in 2011.
Kim described the interview in the magazine on her blog: "My mom, my sisters and I have worked so hard these last few years to achieve our goals, and I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support,"

Witnesses at the trial of former fighter Zemir Kovacevic for one of the first war crimes of the Bosnian conflict said they saw Serb homes in the village of Sijekovac in flames.
A prosecution witness at Kovacevic's war crimes trial in Sarajevo on Wednesday recalled how he fled his home in Sijekovac after it was attacked in March 1992.
Testifying before the Bosnian state court, Nenad Milosevic said that in mid-March 1992, Bosniaks and Croats in Sijekovac asked their Serb neighbours to surrender their weapons, but the Serbs rejected the idea "because of fear".
Several days later, on March 26, an attack on the Serb settlements began, the witness said.
"Shooting started and I saw a group of people moving toward my home. Those were my [Serb] neighbours from the street. They asked me what to do since the shooting was getting closer and we decided to move back to the [nearby] Ribnjak region," said the witness, a Bosnian Serb.
He added that he saw burning houses during the night and on his return to Sijekovac in October 1992, he saw that his house had been destroyed.
Milosevic said that he knew the defendant Kovacevic and that he saw him in March 1992, but never in uniform.
Kovacevic, a former Croatian Defence Council, HVO soldier is charged with committing crimes against Serb civilians in Sijekovac in March 1992 - one of the first war crimes of the Bosnian conflict.
The indictment says that Kovacevic took part in the attack on Sijekovac where, together with others, he took 15 Serb adults and four children from their houses and killed some of them.
The Bosnian prosecution also called Teodor Barnjak and Savo Bacic, who said that in 1992 they lived in the village of Mocila, near Sijekovac. Both men said that on March 26 they heard shooting and saw burning houses.
"There were bursts of fire and some bigger explosions. The sky went red and I concluded that houses were burning. The next day I went to my parents and learned the attack was done by the [local Bosniak-Croat paramilitary] interventions squad and units from Croatia," said Bacic.
Both witnesses said they knew the defendant Kovacevic, but could not say if he took part in the attack.
Kovacevic's trial will resume on February 20.
Timeline of events in the case against 13 former Serb fighters charged with committing war crimes in the villages of Cuska, Zahac, Ljubenic and Pavlac in Kosovo in 1999.

You can see the progress, but still not there yet. Next year we will be back.
My home town was carved out of swampland.
there's a difference between running the spread or air raid and defenses having zero respect (rightfully so) and being a joke. the more i watch CFB the more i become disinterested because outside of a few teams, there's not many scary defenses out there. It also gives me no hope of a non-sec team winning the national championship this year. to me, a fan of a team that has almost zero chance of winning any kind of championship, or sniffing a bowl, defenses are what makes CFB exciting to me.
i also think it's a joke that a top 15 team has a worse defense then Maryland (which is my team). You can say whatever you want about WVU playing bad, but Maryland held WVU's offense to half of what Texas did in West Virginia, and didn't get attempted on 4th down 5 times (completing 5 of those). At least MD's defense got respect from WVU's coaching staff (or the offense didn't get any respect from WVU's coaching staff, which I can live with)
Last edited by afkidd; October-6th-2012 at 10:11 PM.
so you are saying that, based off of the matchups with wvu, that maryland is a better defense than texas?

i would say that Maryland had a better game plan with inferior talent when compared to Texas against WVU. But maybe it's a case of the 2000-2011 Redskins, where the defense looks decent because the other team knows they only have to put up 25 to win the game.
and espn is in bed with the SEC.

Get your running shoes ready! Sampson County's Super Sprint Triathlon is just around the corner.
"This is the fourth year we're doing the triathlon and we're just so excited. Each year it continues to grow," says Robin Palmer, programming manager for The Center for Health + Wellness.
This year's race will be held Saturday, March 23 at 9 a.m. at The Center for Health + Wellness, and now is the time to register. "Registration is all online at www.fsseries.com," notes Palmer.
And don't think that only serious tri-athletes can register. "This race is open to everyone. When people hear triathlon, many think they can't do it, but they really can," stresses Palmer.
As usual, the race consists of a two-mile walk/run, a five-lap pool swim, and a seven-mile bike ride.
"A lot of people really do walk the two miles, and even though seven miles sounds like quite a bit, it's not bad when you're on the bike; it goes quickly," explains Palmer. "It's a fun race with doable distances."
While the divisions and distances are the same, the race course is undergoing some changes this year. "The course is going to be a little different. It's a big loop, mainly through downtown, with all right turns," says Palmer. "This new route makes the race a little more interesting and safer. Having all right turns helps make the race more manageable, especially for the police officers who are helping to keep everyone safe."
Those interested in participating in the triathlon with its revamped course but don't feel like tackling all three divisions on their own, can always join a team. "One person can do it all or you can participate as a member of a team where one person runs, one person swims, and another person bikes," explains Palmer. "We have a corporate category, and I know quite a few local businesses get teams together."
Each year more and more locals seem to be realizing just how accessible the triathlon actually is. "The first year of the triathlon we were amazed at the number of outsiders that came," recalls Palmer. "But only a few locals participated. Now, though, locals are getting more involved. Last year, we had over 80 locals participate. This year, we're excited to continue building local interest."
One group of locals Palmer especially wants to reach is kids. "Last year, we had 25 youth participate and we're hoping for more this year. We want to put a focus on improving the health of our community, especially our youth," says Palmer, adding that "the triathlon is great for families."
"You only have to be 8 years old to participate," says Palmer. "My family and I have done it together and we always have a blast."
This desire to help children live a more healthy lifestyle also extends to the charities that the triathlon will help support this year. "The proceeds from the triathlon always go to a local nonprofit," notes Palmer. "This year one of the charities is Fitness Renaissance which we think makes for a great partnership. We [The Center for Health + Wellness] are, of course, all about promoting a healthy lifestyle, and Fitness Renaissance is all about combating childhood obesity right here in Sampson County."
"Some of the proceeds will also benefit the Sampson County 4-H," adds Palmer. "Again, we want to help improve the health of our youth, the health of our future."
In addition to improving your health and the health of you family, Palmer also feels that the triathlon is a great way to meet new people and see serious tri-athletes in action.
"For the advanced tri-athletes that come and participate, they just love it. It's a fun race for them. It's a way for them to train and warm up for bigger races," says Palmer. "They also love seeing new people, especially people who are just starting to get involved. They like seeing people inspired and motivated."
Palmer adds that 70 percent of the 270 participants in last year's triathlon were outsiders. "We've had people come from Idaho, Montana, Wisconsin, Georgia, Virginia, South Carolina, and of course, the Raleigh and Wilmington areas. This race is really helping to put us on the map."
With so much going on and so many people participating, local volunteers are especially needed. "Being a volunteer is just as important as being a participant," stresses Palmer. "Volunteers do everything from handing out water, giving directions, helping with body marking, passing out t-shirts, to simply being cheerleaders. There's numerous jobs to share."
In past years, the Boy Scouts, various school Beta Clubs, and students from Tarheel Challenge have been among the volunteers, according to Palmer.
If you're interested in volunteering at the triathlon, you can sign up online, just like the race participants.
Overall, Palmer sees that triathlon as an event that is becoming very dear to the community and she's thankful to be a part of it. "Dr. Tommy Newton and I are co-chairs this year and we're thrilled. It's a fun, strong event and has become something for our community to be proud of."
For more information about the triathlon or to get connected with training groups, please call Robin Palmer at 596-5406.

I've started scrapping around with my pastels again, and came up with this sunset koi one evening. I wasn't originally going to put this up anywhere, but a fellow artist friend told me she thought it was good and as I love and trust her judgement, I decided to put it up after all. Le made up sunset koi. :) Tis scrappy, but I didn't expect to be doing anything with it other than just...doodling.

The Forgotten Pursuit of Using Your Hands
These days, we spend many waking hours moving our hands over a keyboard or touch screen. We spend much less time moving our hands in other ways—knitting a sweater, repotting a plant, building a shelf, refinishing a chair or even cooking a new dish. But working with our hands is good for us. It feels good to plunge into wool…dirt…dough…wood. Working with our hands enables our minds to pleasantly wander while we toil—and gives us the satisfaction of creating something new. What can you make with your hands?

text: I've had PCOS for years but never really paid that much attention to it. However, in the past two months that has changed. I've been eating better, taking my Metformin every night and have lost 30 lbs in the past year. Now I'm having early pregnancy symptoms - nausea, sore breasts, frequent urination and extreme fatigue. In Dec my AF came on the 5th, in Jan it came on the 7th but nothing so far for Feb. Should I even bother to test this soon? I don't want the disappointment of a (possibly) false negative if I do test, but I also don't want to keep taking the Met and risk the baby if I don't test and I really am pregnant. Any advice would be appreciated.

Johor police are calling the recent case involving the hijacking of a car belonging to a Singaporean on Sunday as extortion and robbery.
The victim, Madam Rita Zahara, 37, had left her car running, with her two children, younger sister and a maid inside, to buy some fruits.
Police said the robbers did not ask for a ransom and none was paid.
But Madam Zahara disagreed, saying the men had asked for everything she had in exchange for the lives of her two children, younger sister and maid.
what's wrong with this woman ah ? Clearly is extortion & robbery mah !
she is not a rich millionaire or billionaire, who wants to kidnap her, waste time !
Why are you commenting on every piece of news here as though you are the investigating officer?
Whats wrong with Singaporean?
The place is infested with crime gangs targeting Singaporean, and yet you guys venture up there to taste being the victim of crimes.
If only all visitors from Singapore stop heading up North for a month or two, the consequence will kicks into the heads of the police authorities to do something with the criminal activities among their own forces and the gangs that are all
vulturing for everything Singapore

The young Yellow Jackets moved the ball well behind running back Olico Dennis and fullback Ethan Woodard.
Even when things did not go as planned for Calhoun, events seemed to fall Calhoun's way. Twice in the game bad snaps on kicks led to more points than should have been scored.
With a 7-0 lead late in the second quarter a bad snap on a field goal attempt led to a touchdown when holder Jarrett Carden completed a 10-yard pass to Woodard in the end zone.
Up 26-0 near the end of the game, the Jackets again had a bad snap, this time on the point after attempt, which led to a 2-point conversion from the same two players.
Calhoun opened the scoring late in the first quarter on a 12-yard run from Woodard. Juan Palmerin's PAT was good for a 7-0 lead.
The blown snap and touchdown gave the Jackets a 13-0 lead at halftime.
Neither team would score in the third quarter though Sonoraville would threaten, moving the ball down to the Jacket 2-yard line. However, Calhoun's defense stepped up and forced a turnover on downs.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter Dennis broke free, scoring on a 50-yard run. He would finish with 11 carries for 109 yards.
Late in the quarter Woodard scored his third touchdown of the game on an 18-yard run. The bad snap and 2-point conversation gave the Jackets a 28-point lead.
Calhoun's defense played well in the shutout, led by a defensive line consisting of Jack Defoor, Easton Trotter, Blaine Anderson and Brandon Miller.
"They were able to get penetration, made stops in the backfield, and focused on team tackling," CMS coach Eric Rigney said.
