Yeon-Koung Kim was the star again for Korea, dominating with her versatility and power game and scoring 24 points in the match. Youn-Joo Hwang backed her up with 16 points. Wang Yimei, with 15, was the top scorer for China who slipped to 1-2 following this defeat.
It was Yeon-Koung Kim who smashed Korea to a first-set triumph with several soaring spikes, finisheing the set with 10 points, all on attack.
She was again prominent in the second set, at one point alternating spikes and blocks to give Korea four straight points and a 21-17 advantage. Yu Juemin's side made a late push, but Korea took the set 25-23.
China led for the majority of the third set, but the Koreans pulled level at 17-17 and took the lead on another Yeon-Koung Kim spike. China drew level again, but Korea took the next two points to make it 20-18. They then moved to within two points of victory, only to see China come back again to tie things up at 23-23 but it was already too late as the Koreans pulled through to a surprise win over more favoured opposition.

Saint Joseph's College in Maine is looking to track learning outcomes and increase retention and student engagement with Desire2Learn's learning platform. Top considerations for the technology selection included mobile applications, easy access for remote students, grading features and support for audio and video feedback directly within assignments.
Saint Joseph's serves an on-campus population of 1,000 students, plus 3,500 online students from all over the U.S. as well as more than 30 countries worldwide. Implementation of Desire2Learn at the college will begin this summer.
Educators will use Desire2Learn ePortfolio to foster reflective learning practices among students, a technique that allows learners to look back on what they have learned, improve their skills over time through charted progress and articulate that material back to their intended audience in a compelling manner, according to a press release. In addition, Desire2Learn Learning Object Repository will be used to provide a common repository for e-learning objects for faculty within both the online and on-ground academic programs, to facilitate collaboration and consistency in the development of instructional materials. Desire2Learn Capture will allow Saint Joseph's to record lectures with synchronized audio, video and rich media.
"Our situation is unique in that in addition to serving a standard student population, we also have a large and robust program for adult and online learners that needs to be factored into any decision we make," said Michael Pardales, Saint Joseph's vice president and chief learning officer, in a prepared statement. "Our decision to go with Desire2Learn was made in large part because of the technology's ability to integrate seamlessly with our Campus Café, giving us the advanced learning analytics we needed to improve student success and the functionality to empower students to easily access course materials online."

I have been checking out Mind Hacks since it featured a really nice review of my blog. The blog evolved out of the 2004 book by the same name, in which authors Tom Stafford (a cognitive neuroscientist) and Matt Webb (an engineer and designer) provide 100 exercises that teach readers neuroscience theories through games and tricks.
Among the scientists who contributed "hacks" is Vaughan Bell, who seems largely responsible for keeping the blog alive through his quirky and eclectic posts. Dr. Bell is a psychologist currently working in Medellín, Colombia and also a visiting research fellow in the Department of Psychological Medicine and Psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London.
Just to give you an idea of some of his near-daily offerings, he recently posted on everything from decorative skull shaping to dream smoking (that's when you dream about cigarettes after you quit smoking) to new research on cave paintings. I particularly enjoyed his link to an amazing Russian website that features historical art by and about the mad. It reminded me of when I was living in Paris at age 10 and was influenced by an exhibit of art by schizophrenics that my mother took me to at the Louvres museum. More somberly, the prolific Bell reported on a new study in the Journal of Adolescent Health finding that it's a myth that teens think they are invincibile; actually, they greatly overestimate their chances of dying soon. I found it interesting, because the behaviors that result from either thinking error could look very similar.
The psychology of the angry American
Elsewhere in the blogosphere, my forensic psychology colleague Paul G. Mattiuzzi in Sacramento has an interesting analysis at his Everyday Psychology blog of the psychology of the pilot who intentionally crashed his plane into an IRS building in Austin, Texas on February 18.
Dr. Mattiuzzi based his analysis on the diatribes that Joe Stack wrote before taking his last flight. Although Mattiuzzi doesn't specifically reference the so-called Tea Party Movement, his comments on the "lunatic fringe" seem to apply to these disaffected white Americans:
There is in this country today, it seems to me, a gathering storm of mindlessly angry people who are "fed up" for reasons they can barely explain. There are people in the media who are telling them they should be angry, and perhaps more importantly, that they should be afraid….Dr. Mattiuzzi hopes that acts like Joe Stack's do not inspire copycats. As he concludes (in my favorite lines from his essay):
[These] people have come to identify the government as an enemy of the people. They are grandiose in their belief that they understand it all better than anyone else. They are self-righteous in their indignation and in their resentment. They express a sense of entitlement, arguing that they have a right not just to their own opinions, but also to their own facts. They shout until no one can hear them and then complain that no one is listening. They expect their individual voice to prevail and then complain that they have been denied representation. They do not wish to contribute to the common good, but demand all the benefits they have been promised. Like Stack, they bemoan corporate greed while demanding that greed be unfettered.
Joe Stack wanted us to believe that in his abject failure, he had achieved success. It's as if he listened to only part of what Bob Dylan once sang ("there's no success like failure"), without bothering to stick around and hear the end of the lyric: "and failure's no success at all."Mind Hacks is HERE. Everyday Psychology is HERE.

Samuel L. Jackson's wife has opened up about the little-known struggles of the couple's 40-year relationship, telling fans her husband is "smart" but "emotionally disconnected."
Actress and TV producer LaTanya Richardson wed "The Avengers" star in 1980 after a long courtship, but Richardson admits their relationship hasn't always been easy.
She reveals she'd sometimes call the actor while he was filming on location to see if he missed her, only for him to say, 'No.'
Speaking to The New York Times Magazine, she says, "I felt abandoned. It was easier in the earlier years when we sometimes acted together onstage."
And even though Richardson insists the secret to their longevity is "amnesia," the 62-year-old insists their bond has greatly improved over time.
She adds, "He's changing. The other day I cut my hand and he took me to the hospital. Years ago, I'd have to go by myself."

Last week, a trio of Flushing elected officials – State Senator Toby Stavisky, Assemblyman Ron Kim and Councilman Peter Koo – held a closed-door meeting with the Department of Transportation to discuss a bridge in Flushing that has been closed to traffic for an astounding four years.
The bridge on a stretch of 149th Street that crosses the Long Island Rail Road tracks was closed in May of 2010 for repairs. But the contractor who was hired to do the work botched the job so badly the city had to close it because it was simply to dangerous to allow cars to drive on it.
Flash forward to last Friday, when DOT representatives let the elected officials know that the bridge would have to be torn down and completely rebuilt. The elected officials promised that going forward they would stay on top of the issue and make sure that DOT sticks to a timeline to get the bridge open again – no more waiting four years to tackle the issue.
But curiously absent from the meeting was State Senator Tony Avella, who was calling attention to the closed bridge and urging DOT to take action at least as far back as February of 2013, when he held a press conference criticizing the agency for not being forthcoming about what had happened and how it was going to get fixed.
Avella wanted DOT to meet with the public to explain the mess. Apparently, the agency was much more comfortable with a closed-door meeting with a group of elected officials that weren't named Tony Avella.
Clearly, Avella's decision to join a breakaway faction of Democrats in the State Senate who caucus with the Republicans really has made him persona non grata when it comes to his Queens colleagues.

Each applique is embellished with embroidery stitches. I've given you instructions for hand applique and hand quilting. If you prefer to machine quilt or machine applique, that's fine too. Fleece (which can be found in the "by the yard" interfacing section at the fabric store, is used for the inner layer. If you prefer craft batting, you can use that instead as well. I like the fleece because I like the flatter look.
I've given you very easy instructions and illustrations to hand applique the pieces to the fabric before putting this item together. Of course if you like to machine applique instead, no problem!
I've made my patterns very easy to read and understand. I give you a complete list of everything you will need to complete the project. I've broken everything down into step by step instructions and have included LOTS of full color photos and illustrations.
Fabric (100% cotton fabric - 44/45" wide)
• Fabric A - 1/4 yard (background)
• Fabric B - 1/3 yard (binding, sashing, corner squares)
• Fabric C - 1/8 yard (border squares)
• Fabric D - 1/8 yard (border squares)
• Fabric E - 1/2 yard (backing)
Applique Fabrics (100% cotton fabric)
• Small scraps of various fabrics
1/3 yard Heat N Bond Lite Fusible Webbing
1/2 yard (cut to 17" x 23" piece) of fleece interfacing (I used Pellon)
~If you prefer more "puff" you can use quilt batting instead
Sewing and quilting thread to match fabrics
Embroidery floss to match applique fabrics
General Supplies:
5" to 7" embroidery hoop(s), scissors, pins, needles (embroidery, sewing, quilting), paper & pencil, cardstock (for printing applique pattern pieces, optional), iron & ironing board, sewing machine,
measuring tape, cutting mat with ruler & rotary cutter (optional but extremely helpful), thimble if hand quilting
You can use my patterns for personal use and to make things that you sell from your website, online shops, and craft shows.
All photos were taken by me, and all illustrations, pattern pieces, and instructions were created by me. You can not redistribute the pattern, images, or photos in any way. You also can not claim the finished item as your own design.

This new, regular feature on NHLNumbers will share interesting stats-related posts from around the web almost every day.
Welcome to edition number six of the rebooted Number Chains. In this space you will be able to find the best analytical hockey writing from around the internet on a close-to-daily basis. Subject matter will include statistical evaluation, financial analysis, contractual issues, and (sometimes) closely-related tangential works. If you have something you would like to submit for a future edition (your writing or that of someone else) feel free to send it to me via Twitter @JoshL1220 or leave a comment.
The Hockey News is singing the praises of a pair of Detroit Red Wings. Henrik Zetterberg and Damien Brunner are playing together for EV Zug in the Swiss league.To put it mildly, they're working out well together:
"Detroit said they were going to put (Brunner) on a line with Zetterberg, so I got to do it first," Zug coach Doug Shedden said Wednesday in an interview. "I texted (Red Wings GM) Kenny Holland and said: `It works."'
Has it ever.
Zetterberg is playing like a man possessed with seven goals and 11 points in just five league games—four of them victories for Zug to go along with a shootout loss—while Brunner sits on top of the Swiss scoring table. The third member of the line, former Edmonton Oilers forward Linus Omark, is also among the league leaders in points.
It's only a matter of time before Omark is a Red Wing and leading the league in scoring.
All the analytical writing you can handle to begin November can be found after the jump. Rob Vollman, Timo Seppa, Justin Bourne, Slava Malamud, and Gabe Desjardins all await your readership.
* Rob Vollman checks in with his point projections for the remaining Edmonton Oilers forwards.
* Timo Seppa has a preview of Hockey Prospectus 2012-13 which includes work from our very own Eric T.
* Justin Bourne tells us about the lockout doings of Johnny Oduya. He just played hockey in Thailand. Yeah, Thailand.
* Slava Malamud tells us about the benefits bashing America brings to the KHL.
* And lastly today Gabe Desjardins talks about how fortunate the San Francisco Giants are to win their second World Series with a poor process leading to great results. Luck dragons were clearly on the Giants payroll:
Bottom line: just as in 2010, Brian Sabean had no idea his team was good enough to win the World Series. He certainly didn't build it to be that good. But everything broke exactly in his favor and here we are. A just deity would have punished San Francisco's fairweather baseball fans in exactly the same way that she punished its football fans earlier this year.
Welcome to November, where football, basketball, and hockey are supposed to be going strong as the only sports on the landscape.
Follow Josh and NHLNumbers today.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced today that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is accepting nominations to re-establish the Agricultural Policy Advisory Committee for Trade (APAC) and six Agricultural Technical Advisory Committees for Trade (ATACs).
"USDA and the U.S. Trade Representative rely heavily on the individuals who serve on these committees to provide their expert advice on U.S. trade policy and priorities," said Vilsack. "They will be an invaluable asset as we work to deliver economic and strategic trade benefits and opportunities to America's farmers and ranchers as we work toward doubling U.S. exports as part of the President's National Export Initiative."
The private sector advisory system was established by Congress in 1974 to ensure that U.S. trade policy and negotiation objectives reflect U.S. commercial and economic interests. The system's three tiers consist of the President's Advisory Committee on Trade and Policy Negotiations, five general policy advisory committees (including APAC), and 22 technical advisory committees (including six ATACs).
The APAC provides advice on overall agricultural trade policy objectives and positions prior to entering trade agreements, the operation of trade agreements and other trade matters.
The six ATACs focus on specific commodities, covering trade in:
• animals and animal products;
• fruits and vegetables;
• grains, feed, oilseeds and planting seeds;
• processed foods;
• sweeteners and sweetener products; and
• tobacco, cotton and peanuts.
The committees, usually composed of 35 members, represent a cross-section of the food and agriculture industry and must have knowledge of agriculture and trade matters. Committee members must be U.S. citizens, qualify for a security clearance and serve without compensation for time, travel or expenses.
Nominations for any of the committees must include a current resume and AD-755 (Advisory Committee Membership Background Information), available on the Internet at http://www.fas.usda.gov/admin/ad755.pdf. In addition, FAS encourages the submission of the optional form AD-1086 (Applicant for Advisory Committees Supplemental Sheet), available on the Internet at www.fas.usda.gov/admin/ad1086.pdf.
Nominations must be received by 5:00 p.m. on Dec. 17, 2010, in the Office of Negotiations and Agreements, Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA, Room 4133-S, Mail Stop 1040, 1400 Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C. 20250-1040.
For further information or to request forms, contact Steffon Brown in the Office of Negotiations and Agreements by e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com; telephone (202) 720-6219; or fax (202) 720-0340.

text: California Farmers Seek Air Quality Program in House Version of Farm Bill July 10, 2012 01:33 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Editors Email Coalition wants farm bill to continue cost-share program to help upgrade equipment, decrease emissions and address federal air quality regulations. Source: California Farm Bureau news release Having succeeded in the Senate, a coalition of agricultural organizations led by the California Farm Bureau Federation is urging the House of Representatives to include funding for an air quality improvement program in its draft of the 2012 Farm Bill. The Air Quality Initiative in the 2008 Farm Bill allows farmers, ranchers and forest landowners to participate in a cost-share program to help them upgrade equipment, decrease emissions and address federal air quality regulations. So far, USDA has partnered with more than 1,100 of the state's farmers and ranchers to reduce emissions an estimated five tons per day—the equivalent of taking 408,000 cars off of California highways. The program is not included in the current House version of the new farm bill. The House Agriculture Committee will begin markup on the bill tomorrow, where Rep. Jim Costa, D-Fresno, is expected to introduce an amendment to continue the Air Quality Initiative. "This program has been important in helping farmers enhance air quality and address new regulations," California Farm Bureau Federation President Paul Wenger said. "The Air Quality Initiative directs money to farmers in regions with the greatest air quality concerns, which adds to the value of the program." In California, the Air Quality Initiative received between 1,500 and 2,000 applications from farmers each year, but was only able to fund 300 to 350 per year. The farm coalition said continuing the program would benefit air quality in California and throughout the country.

Yeah, this is new to me as well. A new wrinkle on the Cargo Cult phenomenon.
Who in their right mind would willingly invite a foreign ruler into one's mild and pleasant land?
WTF?The Stranger King theory offers a framework to understand global colonialism. It seeks to explain the apparent ease whereby many indigenous peoples subjugated themselves to an alien colonial power and places state formation by colonial powers within the continuum of earlier, similar but indigenous processes.
It highlights the imposition of colonialism not as the result of the breaking of the spirit of local communities by brute force, or as reflecting an ignorant peasantry's acquiescence in the lies of its self-interested leaders, but as a people's rational and productive acceptance of an opportunity offered.
The theory was developed by Marshall Sahlins in the Pacific region and is described by David Henley using the North Sulawesi region in Indonesia as his prime case study. The Stranger King theory suggests similarities and divergences between pre-colonial and colonial processes of state-formation enabling to build with insight on the historiography of the colonial transition in the Asia-Pacific part of the world.[1]
It's like this:
Nice. Your culture/government is so fucked up and dysfunctional that only a colonial power can come in and equalize things.The Stranger King theory argues that many indigenous peoples accepted the imposition of foreign colonial influence, i.e. the Stranger King, as a means of conflict resolution. In doing so, the Stranger King theory challenges binary oppositions of 'tradition versus modernity' and 'nationalism versus imperialism' paradigms and it places state formation by colonial powers within the continuum of earlier, similar but indigenous processes.
It reminds me of the scene in Lawrence of Arabia where he is neither of one tribe nor another, so he is the perfect person to perform the execution.

A Detroit judge recently reprimanded for sending a shirtless photo of himself to an employee has been placed on leave amid allegations he had a relationship with a woman whose child-support case was pending in his court.
Wayne County's chief judge, Virgil Smith, told The Detroit News that Judge Wade McCree was placed on leave Friday. Geniene La'Shay Mott previously told WJBK-TV that McCree discussed strategies with her in a child-support case. She was seeking money from a former boyfriend.
Mott told the TV station that she had sex with the judge in his office and is pregnant with his child. McCree declined to comment.
The Michigan Supreme Court reprimanded McCree for misconduct in October. He has apologized for sending a shirtless photo of himself to a female court employee.

Chinese native shares personal story, outlook on America
Special guest Dr. Sasha Gong, an expert on Chinese and United States relations, answered the question, "Will America win in the (economic) competition against China?" for students at Liberty University Convocation on Sept. 28.
As an immigrant to the United States from the People's Republic of China in 1987, Gong spoke from personal experience. Before coming to America to escape political persecution, she worked in a mechanics factory and spoke openly about democracy, which resulted in a year of imprisonment by the Chinese government when she was 20 years old. She refers to that year as "a badge of honor."
Gong came to the United States a few years later, earning her Ph.D. from Harvard University. She has lectured at George Washington University and UCLA. She tells her story of escaping political persecution and achieving personal freedom in America in her book, "Born American: A Chinese Woman's Dream of Liberty." She is also the author of "The Cultural Revolution Cookbook."
In Convocation, Gong offered insight into American exceptionalism and said the U.S. must not lose the values like freedom, the private sector, and creative individuals who make the country great.
"Immigrants come with a dream of freedom. When you come with a dream of freedom, you build. That is value. Value is the foundation for nation building," Gong said.
Citing history, Gong concluded that after the Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedong died in 1976, the government gave the people "a little bit of freedom" which resulted in great economic growth. She said if China "adopts all of our values of freedom and democracy" then they will succeed.
She said she believes America "will only lose when we lose our values — our values of freedom, liberty, entrepreneurship, our dream," Gong said.
Gong's visit to Liberty last week was not her first. As chief of the China branch for Voice of America, the broadcasting network of the United States government, she and her filming crew conducted an interview with Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. on religion and politics in America shortly after Commencement in May. Voice of America is the biggest broadcasting network in the world, now in 44 languages. It is currently planning more projects that may include Liberty, to be broadcast in Chinese in the coming year.
Gong has also stayed connected with Liberty through her fiancé, who graduated with a degree from Liberty University Online and is pursuing a master's degree.

Captain Sensible's Beret and Glasses
Late 1970s
Imagine this hat and glasses
covered in spit.
When Ray Burns of South Norwood
put them on,
he became Captain Sensible.
The Captain played bass guitar
in a punk group called the Damned.
On stage,
things got manic.
The Captain's trademark image
protected him from showers of spit.
0 mins 0 secs
Captain Sensible
Captain Sensible
was a member of The Damned:
"We were a bunch of spotty oiks,
basically four yobby blokes
who were pretty anti-social.
It was demented, lunatic, insane.
It was so fast and so violent-looking.
We were drunk most of the time
that nobody could really believe us."
"One of the most unfortunate aspects
of punk was that
people used to spit at you on stage.
And The Damned
have been accused of starting that,
rightly or wrongly.
You'd get covered in it.
I didn't like it in me hair,
so I thought I'd wear a hat.
And of course
it's not very nice
having gob in your eyes,
so eventually it evolved
into a beret and glasses.
It was practical on stage.
But it became a trademark. "
"I think my mum and dad
only stopped saying, 'Get a job',
when then they saw me on the telly
and then they thought,
'Maybe there is something in all this'.
After that it was madness.
We lived in a tiny house
in South Norwood
and we'd get
all the blinking press round,
banging on the door
wanting some quote about this or that.
I enjoyed that celebrity
to a certain extent
'cos working class people
don't usually get the voice,
and I used it
whether people liked it or not"
Playing in a punk band
Life was looking pretty dull
for Ray Burns
in the early 1970s.
He'd left school,
tried a few jobs
and was working as toilet cleaner
at the Fairfield Halls.
It was there that he met Chris Miller.
The two of them got into
the West London music scene.
Their band,
The Damned,
became one of the major punk bands
of the time.
Captain Sensible was born!

Method Man: The Return of Clifford Smith
- 2004-05-20 05:55:45
© The Wu-Tang Corp.
- 2004-05-20
He brought a unique lyrical style to the debut on Wu Tang's 1993 "Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers)"...He's one of the mad monks of the Wu...he's Clifford Smith also known to the world as Johnny Blaze, Meth Tical and of course Method Man.
Whether he's handlin' business as a founding member of one of Hip Hop's most well-known groups, clownin' and blowin' with his mans Redman, collabin' with Mary or guest starring on "Oz", "The Wire" and the new Snoop film "Soul Plane"...Meth has become a household name.
"I'm out to do all of that, son." says Meth as a haze of pure ganja smoke floats through the room as he counts off his goals on his fingers. "Hip Hop...got that. Movies...got that...Clothing line...Johnny Blaze, got that. The most important thing for me is remaining me...not just Meth...but, Clifford Smith. Because their was Hip Hop, before there was a Wu Tang...there was Cliff But, feel me son...Clifford and Method Man are one and the same. I'm that same nigga from Staten Island who's on 'Forever', 'The W', 'Iron Flag', getting by with Mary, blackening eyes and busting funny bones with Red and putting down judgement on "Tical 2000".
He once said he brings the pain and with this new album "Tical 0: The Prequel", Meth is looking to take it back to the day of the quick jackmove. "I called it the Prequel because my second CD was from 'Judgement Day'. Nothing can come back to judgement day all you can do is to come back to the beginning After five years silent, it's time again. I got a big ass family in the Wu Tang and everybody needs they time to shine. I got my real family too in my wife and three kids so poppa Meth gotta stack that paper for lil man, it's time to handle business. Though I'm a patient nigga. I'm not greedy. But, now Meth is back...'Tical' is some of my most sickest shit i've ever done. I'm more focused now on the music... more ready to do what the fuck I live to do. When I was just Cliff, runnin' round the island slanging and jackin' motherfuckas...you know doing the everyday struggle I had to rush to keep ahead of the po-po. Only real legit gig I had was a stocker in a store. But, now look at a brotha, son! I do what I love to do. You know that cliché: when you do what you love to do you never work a day in your life.'"
The production on "Tical 0: The Prequel" only further reflects Meth's influence and dedication to this new album. Tical 2000 debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart and No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Meth expects no different from "The Prequel".
"I'm doing it all out on this one, son...we got NO I.D, Just Blaze, Megahertz, P. Diddy, Missy, Jelly Roll, RZA, Ghostface Ludacris and Raekwon." States Mr. Blaze as he rolls another spliff. "The album is locked down with Hip Hop love from Snoop on 'We Some Dogs', ODB pops up minus an ankle bracelet an police escort for 'The Afterparty' and 'Ain't a Damn Thing Changed', which is co produced by Jelly Roll and Rick Rock, it's the first single out the gate and I know that fans...both the honey-dips and the fellas will be feelin' it. I'm trying to get them to bust off. I'm trying to get people to make babies off my shit".
"What's Happening" featuring Busta Rhymes is currently on video rotation, "Rodeo" featuring Ludacris and "Baby Come On" featuring Kardinal Offishal are also tracks that appear to be bubblin' the pot for release to the masses."
When asked about his upcoming TV series with Redman, Meth's smile broadens.."I love to work on movies...TV, I ain't into it that much...but I see now that we've did the Rightguard commercials that it (TV) gives you more options, where with a movie...say like 'Belly', my character was limited....Acting is a totally different ball game than just rhyming. I got more creative control when I rhyme but I like working with other people in acting. The story behind the show is simple...two rappers make it big, buy a big ass house and they think they got it made until my moms moves in...that's the monkey wrench. Right now the working title is 'Meth & Red'. We got 13 episodes in the can and it's supposed to be out by summer."
But, why is it that Meth and Red click so well? "After we did 'How High,' the response was so good, we decided it would be a good move to give the people what they wanted," adds Method Man.
Since then, Hip Hop fans and those unfamiliar with the duo have embraced the two artists since they have been featured together on screen going all the way back to their now classic moments on Yo!MTV Raps and their "Night Before Xmas in The Ghetto" readings.
" Red and I feed off each other. When you come to a Red/Method Man show, whether it's on TV, the movies, on CD or a live performance you get your money's worth," says Meth. "We're separate solo artists, who have achieved platinum status and we both are affiliated with credible Hip Hop crews...me with the Wu and Red with Eric (Sermon) and Def Squad. Moving forward...that's what it's all about. We're gonna keep elevating, keep rising, keep modernizing with the times. That's exactly what's different about Redman and Method Man. We're staying on top of the game. And we're always on point...this is our year!"
It's been a long trip from Clifford Smith to Method Man. From Staten Island to Hollywood. Grimy, but talented...Clifford Smith has established himself in Hip Hop history...The Method to the madness.
Method Man is currently on the road touring in promotion for the May 18th release of "Tical 0: The Prequel."

AM General's history begins in the city of Terre Haute, Ind. The organization began as the Standard Wheel Company more than 100 years ago. By 1908, the car manufacturer was purchased by John North Willys, who renamed it Willys-Overland Motors, Inc.
AM General Through The Years
During the 1950s and 1960s, the company was sold, shifting ownership several times. Kaiser Motors bought Willys-Overland in 1953, at which point it changed the name to the Willys Motor Company. The name was altered a second time a decade later in 1963 to the Kaiser-Jeep Corporation. Just one year later, in 1964, the newly named Kaiser-Jeep Corporation took over the Studebaker (another manufacturing brand with strong military ties) facilities located in South Bend, Ind. A few years later, Kaiser-Jeep was sold and purchased once again, this time to American Motors Corporation, who renamed the company one more time to the name we are familiar with today: AM General.
From that point forward, AM General produced a wide range of vehicles for the government and military, as well as for industrial uses. These included jeeps, buses, and large trucks. However, buses were a short-lived development and were only produced from 1974 to 1979. The bus models developed by AM General included articulated buses for several cities, including the Seattle Metro Transit, and also -- once the production of complete diesel buses had halted by 1978 -- trolleybuses for the Philadelphia and Seattle trolleybus systems.
Toward the end of the 1970s, AM General produced two vehicles well-known to almost all Americans: the Humvee, which was later adapted for civilian use, and the Jeep DJ-5 series of vehicles, the "delivery jeep" two-wheel drive used extensively as a right-hand-drive vehicle by the United States Postal Service. The Humvee, properly called the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, was developed by AM General to replace the successful jeep, albeit in a more heavy-duty manner.
Civilian knowledge of the Humvee was increased thanks to its extensive use by the military during Desert Storm. Partially as a result of that interest, AM General began to develop a non-military version of the vehicle, which was launched in 1992. Once the Humvee was converted to become a vehicle suitable for use by civilian motorists, it was branded with the Hummer name. The Hummer vehicles were known as "the world's most serious 4x4" and were well regarded for its mobility and toughness.
Many of the components included in a HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) are also featured on the original Hummer models. A few of the military requirements that didn't need to be included in the civilian consumer version of the vehicle were ballistic protection and CARC (chemical agent resistant coating) paint.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the company was both partially and completely sold several times. AM General sold the rights to the Hummer brand in 1999, but continued production of its original civilian Hummer line until June 2006. (The later Hummer H3 is by General Motors, rather than AM General.)
Although AM General started life as an American company, today AM General is a well-respected brand throughout the U.S. and the rest of the world.
AM General Models
Today, AM General is still an independent government and military contractor. The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) was a mainstay vehicle for the United States military since 1985, thanks to its versatile and dependable nature. More than 200,000 HMMWVs have been manufactured by AM General for both the United States military and the militaries of more than 50 other international forces. Now, the HMMWV continues to be updated as military requirements change; of particular interest are increasingly sophisticated communications and weapons systems.
AM General also worked with a range of other international defense contractors to develop new vehicles based on the successful HMMWV. These include the Swiss firm Mowag and the Turkish company Otokar, and the resulting products include the lightweight Eagle, used for reconnaissance, surveillance and border patrol; and the Cobra, a rugged and armor-protected vehicle available in seven configurations ranging from Personnel to Weapons Carrier.
AM General Products and Services
AM General offers a wide range of vehicles and services for its military and government clients.
In 1999, AM General incorporated General Engine Products and began to build 6.5-liter diesel engines for the use of both AM General and General Motors' Service Parts Operation, in addition to a range of other customers. The General Engine Products plant was built in Franklin, Ohio.
AM General Hummer
2000-1997, 1995 | SUV, Utility/Offroad
The AM General Hummer is loved almost as much as it is loathed in the popular mindset.

Monahan, Flames beat Panthers in shootoutby Aaron Vickers
CALGARY -- Sean Monahan may be a rookie, but he's handling the shootout like a seasoned pro.
Reto Berra stopped Jimmy Hayes after Monahan scored the shootout winner for the second time this week to lift the Calgary Flames to a 4-3 win against the Florida Panthers at Scotiabank Saddledome on Friday.
In the sixth round, Monahan went in and blasted a wrist shot by Florida goalie Tim Thomas' blocker. Berra then closed the door on Hayes' deke to snap Calgary's six-game losing streak on home ice and give the Flames five of a possible six points over their past three games -- each of which went to extra time.
"I think my first couple years in junior I was pretty successful in it," Monahan said. "Last year, I wasn't too hot. It feels good to put them in again. … It feels good. We want wins. I guess putting those in helped the team get some wins."
Monahan also had the shootout winner in Calgary's 5-4 win against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday.
"He's coming down (in shootout order)," coach Bob Hartley said. "In Winnipeg, he went eighth. Today, he went sixth, so he will keep going down. He is a goal scorer and he has a great vision and great poise, and you can't teach poise."
Joe Colborne, Sven Baertschi and Blair Jones, in his first game of the season after being recalled Thursday from the Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League, scored for Calgary. Hayes, Tom Gilbert and Marcel Goc answered for the Panthers, who return to Florida after going 2-2-1 on a five-game, 6,448-mile road trip through the Western Conference.
"You're on the road this long, you're not getting enough time to practice things, and that's my biggest gripe if I have one," Panthers coach Peter Horachek said. "We need more time to be able to work on certain things, not just talk about them on the board.
"I've got to be real proud of the way the guys reacted. They responded. They seem to respond every time. They came back out -- we wanted to come back out in the third and do what we have to do -- and they scored, and [we] didn't drop their heads. They came right back out. Good road trip. From that standpoint, going .500 and all tough games, I think that's really positive."
The Flames needed the shootout to secure two points after blowing a 3-1 lead in the third.
Jones gave the Flames a two-goal cushion with his goal at 5:40 of the third period, but Berra gave the Panthers life.
Leaving his crease to try to clear a puck before Shawn Matthias could get in alone, Berra rifled it onto Hayes' stick. The Florida right wing put his first of the season into the empty net to bring Florida back to within one at 7:02.
Goc tied the game 3-3 off another Flames turnover. After Mike Cammalleri failed to clear the puck out of Calgary's zone, Sean Bergenheim dished to Scott Gomez, who fed Goc for his sixth of the season and first in seven games at 14:01 to set up overtime and the eventual shootout.
The Panthers opened the scoring, capitalizing on the Flames' continued slow-start struggles, which include just one goal on 31 shots in their past five first periods.
On a faceoff to the left of Calgary's net, Nick Bjugstad drew the puck back to Gilbert, who one-timed the win between Berra's legs to stake the Panthers to a 1-0 lead with 4:46 remaining in the period. The goal came on their fourth of six shots in the period.
The Flames picked it up in the second.
On a failed clearing attempt off Mike Mottau's stick, David Jones wrestled the puck over to Colborne, who wristed a shot over Thomas' glove nine minutes into the period to tie the game 1-1.
"I'm just on the receiving end of some real smart plays from [Jones]," Colborne said. "He made a great play giving me the space in the slot. It was more of a reaction. When you get a puck in that area, you don't have much time, and I just got it on my stick and tried to get it in the top corner."
With Matthias in the penalty box for hooking, Baertschi put the Flames ahead at 12:04 of the second.
After working the puck back to TJ Brodie at the point, Baertschi collected the rebound off Thomas' pad and buried it behind the Panthers goaltender with just six seconds remaining in the man-advantage. The goal was Baertschi's first in 15 games.
Thomas denied Baertschi's attempt for a second power-play later in the second, flashing the glove to keep Florida within one.
But Blair Jones managed to extend the Flames' lead to two in the third period, taking a pass in the slot from Lance Bouma behind the net and burying it into a gaping net to put Calgary up 3-1 at 5:40 before Florida's comeback.
"I was thinking, 'If I miss this, I should probably skate right to the dressing room,'" he said. "It was good. It felt good to see it go in. It's a weight off my shoulders."

Right has anyone like me got a list of things they need to do with their poultry keeping or a wish list of things / birds they'd like? As we all know poultry keepings pretty obsessive & full of things to do ok here's mine lol
*Locate fresh breeding stock & organise current
*Sort latch on shed
*Knock down old hen house
* Have incubator serviced
* Buy a cheap van
*Sort out old runs into which need fixing & which are firewood
*Fix runs & buy new hen house
Wish list:
*Fresh breeding stock
*More geese - we currently have way too much grazing & have 11 already!
*New hen house
*Breeding pens for quail & bantams
*Pheasant panels
*More poultry books
Unfortunately a lot of that list is out of necessity rather than want - mainly due to pens being old & being knocked about - the hen house is 20+ years old & showing its age, so I think it's time 4 a new 1.
To do lists & poultry keeping wish lists:
From Orpingtons to Ostrich. Hybrids, pure breeds or just your breeds. Watermael to waterfowl. Put all your general posts here.

Center for Applied Psychophysiology and Self-regulation
The Center For Applied Psychophysiology and Self-regulation constitutes a brand new presence within RIT's innovative Institute for Health Sciences and Technology. The concept of the Center developed out of conversations with RIT's President, William W. Destler, Ph.D., his wife, clinical psychologist, Rebecca Johnson, Ph.D., and Laurence I. Sugarman, M.D., a community pediatrician in Rochester, New York. Dr. Destler and RIT were planning the Institute. Dr. Sugarman was looking for a platform from which to explore the potential for growth in the field of psychophysiological self-regulation to benefit youth in Rochester community and beyond. Both envisioned programs that integrated education, research, and clinical care: a good fit. After a year of discussion, resource development, and building of collaborative projects, the Center was born, with Dr. Sugarman as its Director (as well as and entire staff) in January, 2011. Both President Destler and Dr. Sugarman are fond of noting that, while not requisite, it did not hurt their collaboration that both men play the banjo.
Under the administrative umbrella of the Institute of Health Sciences and Technology it is expected that the newborn Center for Applied Psychophysiology and Self-regulation will grow and develop rapidly to include program coordinators in education, research, and clinical care over the next three years.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – For Casey Alexander and his staff watching the impact that Josh Williams and J.C. Hampton have had on the Lipscomb Bisons is basketball's equivalent to finding two really nice presents hidden behind the Christmas tree under mounds of discarded wrapping paper.
Both were unknown quantities. But they have both proven to be pleasant surprises to the coaching staff. Both were named to the Atlantic Sun All-Freshman Team for their efforts this season on Monday. Hampton was a unanimous choice of the conference coaches.
"We knew we had Martin and Malcolm Smith and Khion Sankey," Alexander said. "One of the real highlights of year has been finding guys, like these two, who are not just able to play but who have made such a significant impact."
Alexander points to both of them as two of the reasons the Bisons are on the road at ETSU Tuesday night in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic Sun basketball tournament.
Williams signed in the interim period last season between the departure of former coach Scott Sanderson and the arrival of Alexander. Williams was ready to honor his signing, but he and Alexander had some intensive discussion sessions.
Alexander wanted to honor Lipscomb's commitment to Williams. But he also wanted to make sure this was where Williams wanted to be both athletically and academically.
"It was a unique situation for him," Alexander said. "To Josh's credit he was committed 100 percent. He never wavered at all.
"But we did have some hard conversations just to make sure this was where he wanted to be. Those were initiated by me. We just needed to get to know each other. We needed to make sure he was coming here for the right reasons. We wanted to make sure it was going to be a place where he could be successful."
Williams pointed to the city of Nashville and the reputation of Lipscomb's business department as two of the reasons he wanted to stay with the Bisons despite the coaching change.
"There are a bunch of opportunities being a student at a place like Lipscomb," Williams said. "I felt like I had a clean slate as a player and I could come in and make a good impression from the start."
Williams started as a role player and has emerged as one of the Bisons top scorers. Alexander admits it was not an easy task deciding where and how to play Williams since he missed most of preseason practice with an injury.
"He is in significantly better shape now than he was back in the summer," Alexander said. "In high school, from what I know, Josh was a player who could survive on talent alone. The real fundamentals of the game were not really always necessary for him to be impactful and be significant for his team. That is not atypical."
All in the details
Alexander and his staff are detail-oriented. That approach to the game was a major adjustment for Williams.
"We could tell he was a talented and athletic player," Alexander said. "But we had a lot of changes to make with him in general. I think it was pretty overwhelming at first."
As a star at Jackson Preparatory School in Jackson, Miss., Williams was known for his overall athletic talent, but not as a prolific scorer.
"Offensively is where he has made the most improvement," Alexander said. "He was not a high level scorer in high school. That was not his reputation. That wasn't where his production came from.
"I think it has surprised everybody that he has been as successful as he has offensively. I think our system kind of plays to him. He has a lot of freedom. We give him the green light. He has a lot of confidence."
Monster games
Since coming back from Christmas break Williams has scored a career high 34 points at ETSU (1/9/), 27 points against Jacksonville (1-30) and closed out the regular season Saturday with 23 points and 13 rebounds against Stetson.
"He had some monster games," Alexander said. "He has probably improved the most with understanding how we play and why we do what we do.
"He has been an All-Conference player. He has had three or four games already that good players never have in their careers. There are a lot of good players that never get 28 points or 34 points in a game. There are good players who never get 23 points and 13 rebounds in the same game."
He is 15th overall in the A-Sun in scoring with 12.8 points per game and sixth in A-Sun games only with 15.2. He has been named the A-Sun Newcomer of the Week a league-best four times this season.
"We put up a lot of shots in practice," Williams said. "As you do that you start to have more confidence. When you have confidence in your shot, when the time comes to shoot in a game, you just step up and knock them down."
Williams is fourth on the team in scoring and second in rebounding with five per game. He is tied for the lead in steals with 1.1 per game.
"The adversity and injuries we have faced opened the door for him," Alexander said. "He played a lot more early than he was actually ready for. But he had to play.
"He didn't have to go through the usual `finding your self-stage' that most freshmen go through. He was thrown into the fire."
Hampton gets the point
Alexander knew Hampton was going to be his point guard. However, he didn't know that Hampton would be a scoring point guard as well.
"J.C. has been the starting point guard since day one," Alexander said. "He has been one of our leading scorers the whole way through. He was handed quite a responsibility. He has shouldered the load.
"We knew J.C. was a talented player. As a freshman with no game experience carrying the load as a scoring point guard is difficult. He has met that challenge and exceeded it quite well."
The top scoring freshman in the league, Hampton, from Gainesville, Ga., is seventh overall in scoring in the A-Sun with 14.7 points per game and fifth in A-Sun games only with a 15.3 average.
"I wouldn't say it was hard to be the point guard," Hampton said. "I had to adjust to the coaching staff like everybody else. I wanted to show them what I could do and what I could bring to the table.
"It is all about learning. I am still learning every day and trying to get better."
Hampton didn't play the point until his senior year of high school. When he first met Alexander he told him about his ability to shoot.
"I was always a spot-up shooter in high school," Hampton said. "I told coach I could shoot the ball. I could score.
"I am a good passer. I have a good basketball I.Q. Being able to score makes it even tougher to guard me."
He is second on the team in scoring with 14.7 points per game average. He leads the team in numerous categories such as assists (2.9), field goals made (4.6), field goal attempts (10.8), 3-point field goal percentage (.403), 3-point field goal attempts (6.9) and 3-point field goals made (2.8).
"J.C. has been a difference maker time after time," Alexander said. "It was a safer assumption for us that he was going to score for us than it was to think he was going to be able to play the point guard role.
"Even though he had point guard skills his strength was his ability to score. In my style of play I want my point guard to totally drive the train. Whatever punch the point guard can give us offensively is a bonus. He has plenty of growth left, but has handled it and done an admirable job so far."

It is usually through a choice of:
A Calculus sequence aligned with AP Calculus courses, where any number of subsequent mathematics courses may be anticipated. Recommendation: MAT 112 (or 111), MAT 113, MAT 150 or MAT 160, according to placement advice below.
A two-course Calculus and Modeling sequence designed for application in other fields, with particular attention to the life sciences and students on a pre-medical track. Though the first course at Davidson is the same in Paths 1 and 2, the second courses differ significantly (and both may be taken). MAT 140, Multivariable Calculus and Modeling, covers a selection of applied topics from several mathematical areas including Calculus III, Linear Algebra, and Probability. Recommendation: MAT 112 and MAT 140.
A non-major course, often appealing to students interested in social sciences or humanities, with the minimal background assumption of high-school algebra. Recommendation: MAT 108 or MAT 110.
In all Calculus courses, a good pre-calculus background in algebra, trigonometry and functions is assumed. Placement depends on experience beyond that, as follows:
The following courses seek to enrich the student's mathematical experience, as opposed to repeating algebra or pre-calculus preparation. Both courses assume high school algebra. Of the options:
Students are always encouraged to talk with any of Davidson's mathematics faculty about their placement.

It's summertime, and for a lot of Americans that means it's time to gear up for an exciting road trip. There is nothing more relaxing than hitting the open road with the music cranked up and the GPS on to help steer you to your final destination. That's why 8 out of 10 leisure trips in the U.S. each year are driving excursions, according to a 2012 study by the U.S. Travel Association. The good news is that gas prices have leveled off—though they're still their highest in six years, according to AAA.
Since planning such a vacation means sifting through endless possibilities, we turned to social network WalletHub, which recently studied road trip costs by assessing 21 metrics—including accommodations, weather conditions and number of attractions—in all 50 states to determine a pecking order of best and worst picks for motoring holidays. Always apt to focus on the positive, we share WalletHub's top 10 Best States for Summer Road Trips.

August 18, 2011 — A lawsuit filed in federal court on Tuesday against a Kansas law prohibiting private health plans from covering abortion care "stands to have big, national impact," Sarah Kliff writes on Ezra Klein's Washington Post blog (Kliff, "Ezra Klein," Washington Post, 8/17).
The American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and Western Missouri is asking the court to issue an injunction against the law, which took effect July 1. The law bars health insurance plans from covering abortion care except in cases to save a woman's life, and it also bans the sale of abortion coverage through health insurance exchanges established under the federal health reform law (PL 111-148). However, the law allows insurers to offer stand-alone policies for abortion coverage (Women's Health Policy Report, 8/17).
Kliff predicts that the lawsuit could have a "ripple effect" on how states regulate private abortion coverage, which until last year "was not a key target for abortion restrictions." About 87% of employer-sponsored plans cover abortion care, according to Kliff. However, the health reform debate cast a spotlight on abortion coverage, and 13 states in 2010 passed laws restricting insurers from covering the procedure.
The Kansas law is the first to be challenged. Brigitte Amiri, senior staff attorney for ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project, said the Kansas case "will likely set a precedent for what cases in other states could look like."
The Kansas case also is important to watch because abortion-rights supporters will be "pioneer[ing] some untested arguments," according to Kliff. Most abortion lawsuits focus on how states restrict access to abortion care, using the constitutional test of whether a law places an "undue burden" on women. "The Kansas law doesn't restrict any particular procedure, but rather who can pay for it," Kliff writes, adding that ACLU argues that restricting payers also creates an undue burden. According to the organization's court brief, the law "is directed exclusively at making it more difficult for women to obtain and pay for abortion care" and thus is "no different than a law that would require women to pay a tax to obtain an abortion."
ACLU also argues that the Kansas law violates the Equal Protection Clause, which guarantees that "all similar persons similarly situated should be treated alike." According to ACLU, "Kansas men are permitted to buy comprehensive insurance plans that cover all of their potential medical expenses, but Kansas women are prohibited from doing the same."
Kliff concludes, "All of these arguments are relatively untried when it comes to what abortion restrictions the courts do, and don't, allow. And with so many similar laws just now coming online, their success will no doubt be closely watched" ("Ezra Klein," Washington Post, 8/17).

Current New Rates – Effective May 1, 2014
Base Charge $ 59.64 $ 59.64 (includes environmental charges)
Fuel Charge $ 40.85 $ 43.35 (includes fuel increase)
The base rate includes environmental compliance charges that are directly related to federal and state initiatives regarding clean air and water mandates. Most of the expenses are related to energy production and include air emission controls, water quality monitoring and capital spending for equipment necessary to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Air Act.
Lakeland Electric bills are broken out for customer convenience in detail to show the base charge, fuel charge and appropriate taxes and service charges. The fuel charge on a utility bill is exactly that, the actual costs for fuel used to generate the amount of electricity used within your residence.

Pro Tip
Before you get started, always remember to begin with wet — not damp — bangs. Once they start air-drying, they're harder to style.
2 of 8
Straight Across Bangs
Comb out wet bangs. Focus heat from above with a blow-dryer fitted with nozzle and use a paddle brush to pull bangs to the right for five seconds, then to the left. Repeat going back and forth until bangs are completely dry. To nix flyaways, finish by holding the brush underneath with dryer set on cool.
3 of 8
Side-Swept Bangs
Wrap bangs around a 2.5-inch round brush and pull away from the side you wear them (i.e., if yours go to the right, start by drying to the left.) Move dryer side to side from above for 10 seconds as you smooth strands. Then bring pieces over in half-inch sections. Pin in place while they cool to hold shape.
4 of 8
Wispy Bangs
Point dryer straight down over bangs. Move it back and forth from side to side while combing through to make sure they don't dry flat against your forehead. When hair is almost dry, use your fingers to tug down and control stubborn pieces. Apply a drop of lightweight pomade to ends.
