Rik Kirkland watched his younger brother, Steve, come up the steps from behind the podium at the Bo Thomas Auditorium at Blue Ridge Community College on Friday morning.
FLAT ROCK - Rik Kirkland watched his younger brother, Steve, come up the steps from behind the podium at the Bo Thomas Auditorium at Blue Ridge Community College on Friday morning.
The two shook hands, shared an embrace and turned toward the crowd that came to hear Rik Kirkland, keynote speaker at a fundraising event for the Blue Ridge Literacy Council, led by his brother, Steve. Rik Kirkland served as the editor for Fortune magazine for five years before becoming a partner of Global Publishing at McKinsey & Company.
Kirkland's topic zeroed in on the future of the economic world. The speech, "Three Things That Will Change Everything," outlined a new global economy that will not revert to the "good ole days," but will morph into a new world that businesses must navigate with a new approach in order to survive.
He pointed first to what he called "the crossover." This, Kirkland said, is when the emerging markets become the primary growth engine in the global economy. Emerging markets will be responsible for half the world's GDP by 2025, he said. The second factor driving change in the world is information — more specifically, how people gather information. The world is moving away from desktop access to the Internet, he said. It's a more mobile world because of the proliferation of smart phones. Facebook and other social networking sites have created a "global platform," he said.
"The entire platform has access to the same information," Kirkland said.
Throw those two things together, and you end up with a more volatile economic system — and that was Kirkland's third driving force behind the change.
"A connected world is both productive, but it creates volatility," he said.
The "world is twitchier," he told the crowd.
To be successful, businesses are must learn how to operate in this new economic world, he said. The emerging markets like China and India are going to have to learn how to sell things to one another and not just make things cheaply and ship them to America, he added.
When his presentation was over, Kirkland answered questions that ranged from the possible end to government-backed currency to the advantages that Henderson County has with location and people's desire to move here.
"I think it was a fantastic vision into the future," said Hendersonville resident Barbara Darden. Darden came out to support the Blue Ridge Literacy Council and enjoyed the event.
In the end, that's what the event was about, Steve Kirkland said.
"Knowledge is power, and literacy is the fuel for that," Kirkland said.
"I think it was an extraordinary presentation on the world, but also linked the needs for literacy," he added.

Riri really loves MAC.
Yup, another Riri Loves MAC collection. This time, it's centered around Fall. Some parts are great, some parts are, well, a bit redundant. But nonetheless, as a whole, it is a really gorgeous collection.
First of all, the packaging to me is beautiful.
Hot pink and rose gold everywhere. Totally reminds me of early 90's Barbie stuff, no?
I think the concept is really great- Riri Loves MAC. Riri helps design stuff for MAC. People who love Riri and MAC rejoice and buy the collection.
However, I feel like it's getting a bit repetitive. Don't get me wrong... I think she's created some GREAT stuff. We all love Riri Woo (although already pretty similar to Ruby Woo), but I feel like they may as well make it a part of the permanent line just because it seems like these Riri releases are getting pretty close together, no?
Riri Loved MAC in the Summer, now Riri's Loving MAC again in the Fall. Makes sense.
So we've got Riri Woo again. Not surprising. But I was also kind of disappointed (and surprised) that they re-promoted the Hibiscus Kiss blush duo (in the new packaging, of course). I just thought it would've been fun to have that product in a different shade because Hibiscus Kiss is nice, but maybe creating one in some deeper shades? Especially since this is a "Fall" collection. That's such a cool little duo product that I think would be awesome in different shades. It's just confusing to me. Also, a re-packaging of lots of items already in the permanent line (36 & 38 lashes, Extended Play Lash mascara, and a black Liquidlast Liner). These would be a great addition to a large collection, but I just didn't feel like the collection was big enough to warrant that many permanent and re-promoted products.
However, the products that are new are nice. The re-promoted ones are nice too, but I felt like this collection really could've been extra-awesome with even more new stuff.
Ok, so I got a little carried away and did the post a bit backwards... Usually those types of thoughts come at the end of the post. So let's continue to the products and the swatches of items I have from the collection and I'll share more of my thoughts on the specific products throughout the post.
Oh, and be sure not to miss my video review at the bottom as well.
The Riri Loves MAC Fall collection contains:
2 Eye Shadow Quads, 4 Lipsticks, 1 Lipglass, 2 Pro Longwear Lip Pencils, Extended Play Lash, 1 Liquidlast Liner, 2 Veluxe Brow Liners, 1 Powder Blush Duo, 1 Powder Blush, 1 Cream Colour Base, 2 lashes, 2 special edition brushes
**UPDATE** Check out my accompanying video review of this collection below to see me actually wearing this quad. After actually using it, my opinion was TOTALLY different. The swatches lied to me.
|Lipglass in Riri Woo $16.50
|Veluxe Brow Liner in Deep Dark Brunette, $21.50
Products were provided for my honest review and consideration by MAC Cosmetics with no agreements or obligations to feature in any way.

........ 4.
........ 4.
God answers all prayers. Most of the time, though, the answer is 'No'.
Oh, I guess about a 7 or so.
An 8. Loved him in Skins.
He's a 5 in my book. The pose honestly doesn't do him any service though.
cotton, i love you breh BUT you're obsession with this guy is over the top.
i think nick hoult is really cute. he's very underrated.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum 1
I agree with the person who said 4
I was going to give him an 8, but then I saw CupidBoy. Now he's a 2.
I'd give him an 8. I've always thought he was pretty hot.
zero or less ...
but you/JUB proved there are types for everybody once again
He looks like a pixie.
4.5 The low score is mainly because he is not my type.
Eternal youth and endless life. I'll sacrifice everything and everyone to obtain it
I'd rate him a 9.
And so it goes. And so it goes. And so it goes."
2. Too twinky, too much androgyny, and though this is shallow, I simply despise his hair.
"Theres death on the horizon,
and Ill run to behold your sacrifice..."
i think this thread is proof that beauty is subjective which goes back to something that you said awhile ago cotton about how people can basically control how attractive they look. it's out of their reach. what you may think is hot may get other people cold.
5. Doesn't do anything for me, but he's not ugly.
Nicholas Hoult is an A-class actor and a solid 9! So judgmental over one photo without knowing who the heck you're talking about! Sheesh
Feel silly now?
#439th oldest member on JUB.
^Not really, as if knowing who he is (which, even with a name, I still don't) makes him more attractive than not knowing.
"Theres death on the horizon,
and Ill run to behold your sacrifice..."
Nope. I knew who he was. Still a 5 for me.
Not hating. Just not attracted to guys that look 16.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beautiful eyes in post #50.
gosh those eyes he gets a 10.
I can't tell. I can't see his penis.
I endeavour to be accurate.
3.414363624545245924524626243533097456091424580924 528452045982459824........
Can I give him a million out of 10? I just have a really large celebrity crush on Nicholas Hoult, so, you can't really fault me.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I'm afraid my walk has become rather sillier recently...
5 - he's cute but does nothing for me.
all pics looked at and I would personally rate him a 3 in my book not that cute at all.
well, if todd is 9.5
thomas is not really my type, but i believe he can be very hot to someone else.
Wow I can't believe all the low rates!
I'll go with 10/12
I make my bed with the stars above my head and dream of a place called home.
7 or 7.5
10 characters
I think he's slightly below average in the looks department so I'd say 4. I do, however, see why others find him attractive, especially considering some of the roles he's played.
Very good looking! I d' say a solid 9
I give him a solid 7 but he can look 5ish sometimes. He's cute but meh.
I give him an 8 even though he is not my type but he is definitely cute.
I was going to say a 7, but then post #50 came up and I would now say a 9.
Too pretty for me, but I can see the appeal for others. I give him a 4.

Best College Football Helmets
In this Part One of a three-part MZone special examination on helmets, I submit this list of the best college football helmets, complete with a totally subjective and half-assed analysis explaining each helmet's placement on the list. (thanks to Charles Arey of the "Helmet Project" for the images.)
Michigan-Clearly the leaders and best when it comes to helmets. Even tOSU fans who have "Fuck Michigan" tattoed across their chest will concede this point if they're being honest.
Texas-You remember how Prince adopted a symbol to represent his name a few years ago? I think the state of Texas should drop the T-E-X-A-S and replace it with the unique simplicity of the perfectly-designed burnt orange longhorn head.
Florida State-Politically incorrect? Perhaps. Striking color combination, distictive design, and three decades of winning tradtion? Definitely.
Clemson-You've got to admire the bold decision by some past Clemson big shots to go with the orange and purple color scheme. I'm picturing a few Strother Martin looking fellas drinking Wild Turkey straight out of the bottle growling, "Fuck it! Let's make the helmets orange and purple. And we'll have giant goddamn paw prints on each side!"
Arkansas-How could anyone not love that rampaging piggy? Seriously, look at that feisty little guy. I imagine he's solid yet slippery and it doesn't seem like he's much in the mood to have hands put on him--traits that are very beneficial for a football player.
Any glaring omissions? Unworthy inclusions? Let us know what you think.

Michigan is nothing but a poser.
You stole the Princeton helmets long ago, so you need to rightfully give credit (echoes of ESPN and Wonderlic) to the "Princeton helmet" you borrowed.
Also, I agree that BCS Era means one championship game and one champion.
- April 18, 2006 9:26 AM
I will admit that Meechigan's helmets are the most recognizable in college football. But I have never understood what that design is supposed to be. I looks kinda like a swimsuit featured in Sports Illustrated from the late 80s.
Clemson? That damn print on their helmet reminds me that I need to scoop out my cat's litter box.
- April 18, 2006 9:50 AM
- IC said...
Yes, Arkansas.
True, I could have included honorable mentions tOSU (late-in-season version with plenty of buckeye decals), Alabama, and USC.
But I'm standing behind the Razorbacks at #5. I urge you again to study the free-for-all instensity of that animal. And shouldn't Arkansas get points for being the only team with a pig for a mascot?
I also urge you to read the clear disclaimer in the post, that my list is "totally subjective and half-assed." I welcome other MZone readers' lists, which though also totally subjective, may benfit from whole-ass treatment.

I think the keys to a great helmet are simplicity and uniqueness. Some designs are just too intricate to be identifiable 20 rows up in the stands and lots of schools use either a big block letter or just a plain helmet.
Texas's use of an easily recognizable silhouette is simply perfect. Michigan's helmets do indeed set the standard and we just wouldn't be Michigan fans if we didn't want to reminisce about college football some 75 years ago which the design allows us to do.
The paw print is a great symbol, but severely handicapped by that orange and purple color scheme. Clemson's orange unitard look with purple accents is just dreadful.
The Helmet Project just rocks, I even have it bookmarked.

Once Crapped:
Is there a problem with SI swimsuits in the 80's? I have no problem with Michigan Football being associated with Paulina Poriskova.
On second thought, maybe that isn't such a good thing if it means our best days are behind us and we're having sex with the human Adam's apple that used to be lead singer for The Cars.
- April 18, 2006 10:03 AM

One more thing, Once Crapped:
Your name reminds me of a guy I knew in the dorm, who somewhere in the blogosphere is probably calling himself "Once Had Sex with a 2-Liter Bottle of Pepsi"

I've always thought that Virginia had the classiest uniforms in college football overall, and I especially like their letter-V-over-crossed-sabres logo that appears on their helmets.
And I know I'm biased here, but the fire-breathing-dragon logo on UAB's helmets is pretty cool. I also like the goofy-ass pitchfork-wielding Disney devil on Arizona State's helmets.
- April 18, 2006 10:17 AM
anon, I think there is a difference between outright theft and one coach choosing to create the same helmet design at two different schools for which he coached. Did Notre Dame steal the Patriots offense last year too?
What if we just call it the Crisler helmet? UM has no problem with Princeton using it and vice versa. Generally if a school was stolen from, they would be the ones being upset, not random passers-by looking for some way to crap on UM.

Re. Anon's (6:26am) comment: "Michigan is nothing but a poser. You stole the Princeton helmets long ago, so you need to rightfully give credit..."

Clemson's tiger paw is a print from a real tiger that lived in the area. Frank Howard commissioned a marketing firm out of Greenville SC to come up with a new identity for our football team. One that could uniquely identify us. The story goes that the firm came in to make the pitch for the tiger paw and coach Howard didn't think much of it at first. Then they pulled out that orange helmet with a white tiger paw and coach Howard just grinned. We have had orange helmets with the white paw ever since. We are right proud of our orange here in Clemson, and we consider the orange helmet with white tiger paw sacred (as sacred as any physical thing can be).
- April 18, 2006 10:45 AM
Ok, I have to add USC (what can I say?) and also Kansas State (just like the look of the wildcat logo) and Air Force (lightening bolt is very cool). My honorable mentions would be AZ State (with the porno star faced devil) and Fresno State (bulldog).... ok and maybe Louisiana Tech (like how they incorporate the state of Louisiana with the big red T).
- April 18, 2006 11:11 AM
- The King said...
First of all (even though I'm second to say it), we didn't "steal" our helmet design, you moron. Crisler designed it at Princeton, then got hired at Michigan, and brought it with him. Since it was HIS intellectual property, and not Princeton's, it's just a matter of him bringing with him one more possession. Both teams benefitted from his vision and appreciate his contribution to their legacy.
Hey ding dong, if you write a paper on your laptop and then transfer it to your desktop computer, did your desktop steal the paper from your laptop?
As for my nominations (which are not limited to D1)...The Dartmouth "front D" is ridiculous and wonderful, and the Emporia State "Concentric Rings" are also lovely. Come on, you remember those from 1998 when Brian Shaw broke the all-time NCAA rushing record? Just me?
And you would put Arkansas ahead of Alabama? You crazy!

- Yost said...
I've heard your desktop is a thief. I'm just saying.
- April 18, 2006 12:09 PM
Hey King, Michigan's claim to the winged helmet is merely abetting Crisler's theft of a design created for Princeton. Unless you prove that he owned the copyright and licensed the design to Princeton, I will forever believe that he absconded with their property when he left Princeton in the dark of the night.

Well, I was going to get on here and start raising a ruckus, but then ic gave an 'honorable mention' to my Buckeyes and so its cool. I do love the way that the silver helmets look in a bowl game, full of leaves. It just sucks to be the punter-at the end of the season you've only got a quarter of your helmet full.
I would also nominate Texas A&M and Tennessee, schools that have simple yet distinct and bold helmets.
Alabama and Penn State get the vote for helmets that desperately need a redesign.
I also found it interesting that there are 4 independent schools that don't play in a conference. 3 of them have essentially the same basic helmet-Army, Navy and Notre Dame.
- April 18, 2006 12:28 PM
Leave my tatoo out of this. I don't have to admit anything. Well, okay, if you want to claim the best helmets, since you still have Tommy Amaker and Lllloyd Carr, you can have best helmets.

I couldn't help but think: This is a brilliant topic, someone must have covered it before. And sure enough, Google, the internet fuhrer, provided a SI article on the topic:
SI helmet list
Among the list, in case your finger is too tired to click the link above, are:
The Southern Methodist Horse That's Too Drunk To Run. (It's funny because Methodists typically don't drink)
The Iowa Old Woman With A Goiter.
And the Arizona State Guy Pretending He Has A Three Pronged Wang.
No mention of our beloved Wolverines...for shame, SI, for shame.
- April 18, 2006 1:10 PM
- Benny Friedman said...
Wholesome, good catch. I'm sure there are plenty more of these lists.
We covered the Iowa logo last week. I wouldn't want a sideways Fred Flintstone on my helmet.
But the SI article has Wyoming ranked high, as they should. But it's really the logo that's great. The helmet should be brown.
- April 18, 2006 1:13 PM
Wholesome - the SI list is a list of the top "logo" helmets. Michigan's winged helmet is many things, but not a logo helmet. Not sure it would fit into any category, but unless you'd rather a fluffy cartoon Wolverine replace the beautiful simplicity of the wings, then be thankful M was left off the list! A couple links below - first is the official Princeton site which explains the origins of the winged helmet and next is the link to the Helmet Project - look up Princeton and you'll see they abadoned the winged helmet for decades before finally going back to it recently.
- April 18, 2006 1:46 PM
- Wholesome Goodness said...
Thanks for straightening me out, zany. I didn't catch that. Maybe we should make a list of the top ten winged helmets.
- April 18, 2006 1:55 PM
Where's Penn State?
- April 18, 2006 2:54 PM
That would be in Pennsylvania. Hope this helps.

What is it about those stripes that qualifies them as 'wings?'

- April 18, 2006 3:43 PM
Another resource website for this discussion. They've compiled almost any helmet you can think of. I'm thinking the Emporia State helmet has been changed though because I see nothing resembling "Concentric Rings" on there, King.
- April 18, 2006 4:30 PM
Hey CapBuck,
The "wings" is that big blotch of yellow in the front that looks like the upper part of Betty
Boop's lips. The stripes on the UM helmet make no sense at all and are just a carryover from Princeton's helmet.
On Princeton's helmet, the blotch in the front represents the fighting tiger's ears, pinned back, and the stripes represent the tiger's stripes.
As you can see, the UM helmet is just a ripoff of Princeton's helmet and isn't based in Wolverine tradition at all. Go figure.
- April 18, 2006 4:39 PM
- BaggyPantsDevil said...
Actually, the "wings" and the "stripes" coincide with pieces of leather used to provide extra padding on 1930's football helmets. Fritz Crisler simply had the raised parts painted. It was football helmet construction that dictated the "wings" and "stripes" more than the Tiger mascot of Princeton.
Since Princeton played the first collegiate football game ever--a greater accomplishment than having a helmet design first—I guess everyone is ripping off Princeton.
And, it's their own fault for abandoning the design and not having it immediately associated with them. Their current uniforms--however--are excellent.
Of course, you could always put up a billboard. Or have you already done that?
- April 18, 2006 5:46 PM
- Kirbdaddy said...
Clemson and Arkansas' helmets suck ass. Better helmet inclusions would have been Penn State, USC, or LSU.
- April 18, 2006 6:09 PM
I won't be financing the billboard since my school was "inspired" by UM to do a funny little thing called Script Ohio. The billboard would just be too hypocritical, even for me.
I notice that you have ties to Ft. Huachuca and have an affinity for parachutes. I trained as a navigator, in the Grumman OV-1, at Huachuca in the late 60's and had an opportunity to use the Martin Baker ejection seat in Vietnam. Not much else to do when your plane is on fire and spiraling out of control.
Thanks for your take on the helmet :)

The Mohawk?!?! Good Lord you've got guts. They still have one sitting out as a display here at the fort.
At least you had the good sense to wait until your aircraft was disabled before resorting to a parachute. Still, climbing into a Mohawk is questionable.
As for the billboard, there sure are a lot of causes for them to go around (I thought you might be one of that crowd that tends to troll here, my apologies for that assumption). We won't do one for the script Ohio if you won't for the helmets. Perhaps we need some sort of Strategic Billboard Limitation Treaty?
- April 18, 2006 6:35 PM
I'm with Doug. The UVa V-Sabre is one of the great logos in higher ed.
It started with Coach Welsh's son, as I understand it. They added them to the helmets in the mid-90's. Since then, it's become the go-to symbol for anything UVa-related. It's as instantly recognizable as any university symbol, and captures perfectly the pretentious attitude here at Mr. Jefferson's University. It can also be used in non-athletic contexts, unlike, say the Sun Devil or the Razorback.

Didn't Hayden Fry design Iowa's logo so that it looked like a caricature of him when rotated 90 degrees (rotating the logo, not Fry, although I 'spose it wouldn't matter)?
That's what I always heard. 'Course, I used to drink a lot back then, too.

Although I agree that all those teams have attractive helmets--to which you can add Ohio State, Boston College, and Syracuse--they're a little too simple--read plain--to be considered great in my totally subjective opinion.
I do like Alabama using the players' numbers on their helmets. I think Syracuse made a good move by following suite. It's simple, still fairly unique, and has a nice old school--read smashmouth--feel to it.
I do have a couple of only slightly smart-assed questions about your rankings. What makes Notre Dame's plain gold helmets superior to Navy's plain gold helmets? And, why didn't Boston College's gold helmet with a stripe make the list while Army's gold helmet with a stripe was #3?

Homerish, I know...
but if you are going by distinctiveness, simplicity, and to some extent history then I would think Nebraska's helmets have to get at least a shout out.

Huskerfan is right! That 'N' for nowledge is indeed classic.

The Mohawk was actually a pretty good plane. Reliable, maneuverable, and quiet: all the things you want in a good surveillance aircraft. Since our imagery could be interpreted quickly, we were able to plot targets and inform local units of enemy targets in a matter of minutes. As a result, its passing overhead was shortly followed by a rain of fire. The enemy called it "Whispering Death". We only lost one other plane during the year that I was over there, but we lost 2 good men in that one.
Our ilk has formed an organization that meets annually so we can swap lies, er stories, of our days with the Mohawk. I wouldn't trade my Army experiences for anything but I wouldn't want to take the risks I took when I was young and foolish, now that I'm old and foolish.
My cohorts tell me that Huachuca has become the home of Army Intelligence. Gee, I wonder if I still have that secret decoder ring I found in a box of Wheaties. Would that help?
As for helmets, I do like the Buckeye's helmet, especially later in the season when they are covered with Buckeye leaves.
And as for the Strategic Billboard Limitation Treaty, when you draw it up, put on a line for my John Hancock. No sense expending undue effort arguing about a helmet that UM obviously "owns" and a band formation that tOSU obviously perfected.

I am surprised no one has mentioned UCLA's helmet's - I have always liked those.
- April 18, 2006 11:04 PM
Arkansas and Clemson, you must be kidding! Clemsons color scheme is Fugly. I'd put in a vote for Wazzu's silver helmet , its a great color (cardinal logo on silver helmet) and their WS forms a cougars head, really unique and sharp looking.
Some other posters summed up Meechegans helmets, Princeton ripoff.

Arizona State Sun Devils, unique name and color scheme. Not to mention a very cool logo.
UWs Gold hemet with the Purple W it tight as well. The temporary purple helmet the Huskies switched to for about 3 seasons was hideous.

One thing we can agree on is everyone disagrees a little...but most of the above mentioned all have legit helmets. As a uniform analyst, here are my votes on just helmets.
1. Texas -great simple logo with white facemasks on white helmets
2. UVA - V-logo with crossing swords is topdrawer
3. FSU -smooth spear logo coming from back of helmet and good colors
4. Clemson -tiger paw is classic and stands out on orange...nice!
5. Wyoming (sleeper! hardly ever seen). white helmets with never used Chocolate brown facemask and logo with gold outline...very smooth.
6. Michigan - just plain cool
7. Ohio State -great color scheme with the stripes...stipulation is it has to have alot of buckeyes!
8. Oregon - ONLY the White helmets with the green O...kind of has a Texas feel to it.
9. Georgia Tech (another sleeper) - the white lettering on Gold looks nice.
10. Arizona State - Unique colors with the deep mustard and a cool devilish logo.

Fred White dies, Fred White had a 40-year association with the Kansas City Royals, calling their games on the radio with Denny Matthews from 1973 to 1998, and was at the mic for most of the greatest moments in franchise history. White died Wednesday at the age of 76 from complications of melanoma, but his voice is preserved in the memories of Royals fans and in recordings anyone still can listen to. The Kansas City Star's Bob Dutton wrote a touching obituary for White that's worth reading even if you haven't followed the Royals, and Fox Sports Kansas City made an inspired choice by starting their broadcast of K.C.'s game against the Angels with a half-inning of silence to honor White's passing. It's a beautiful and powerful few moments (condensed to about 90 seconds in the video highlight) when listeners only hear the ambient noise of the ballpark. And it's even more emotional when you realize that Royals broadcaster Ryan Lefebvre (who introduces the silence) was the person who replaced White on radio broadcasts in '98 (a move that was widely unpopular at the time).
Among White's finest moments: Well, anything to do with George Brett.
Calling his home run that help beat the Yankees and get the Royals to
the World Series in 1980. And saying of the Royals before Game 7 of the
1985 World Series: "This improbable little team, doing improbable little
things, now has pushed this thing to the brink."
And then there's the resumption of the "Pine Tar" game with Brett and
the Yankees in 1983, when White hysterically described the defensive
alignment a defiant Billy Martin fields for the ninth inning

Use of laboratory grinders for size reduction of human bones and bioceramics
Bone implants and substances for bone regeneration are used in surgery to replace degenerated bone material by implants or to "re-build" it with specific substances. The material used in implants varies from autogeneic (supplied by the patient) through allogeneic (supplied by a donor) bones to replacement materials such as hydroxylapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP). Bovine bones and corals are used in conjunction with synthetically produced foamed materials to form a basis for the regeneration of bone substance. Various RETSCH mills are suitable for the preliminary and fine grinding of human bones as well as bioceramic materials.

POLICE suspect the people behind a brazen robbery at a Darwin navy base this week have naval links.
And there are expected to be further arrests over the theft of more than a dozen high-powered weapons early on Friday morning.
On Saturday police surrounded a city apartment in the Northern Territory capital, arresting a 40-year-old man and recovering the weapons. Police said he had tried to run away before being caught.
The arrest followed a brazen robbery at a navy patrol boat moored at HMAS Coonawarra early on Friday morning, in which a dozen semi-automatic pistols and two pump-action shotguns were stolen.
During the attack, a man wearing military attire and a balaclava overpowered and tied up a young sailor with cable ties. The sailor was unhurt.
Police Commander Richard Bryson said police believed several people were involved in the attack.
"Police are still trying to establish at this point in time whether or not this person has received the weapons shortly after the commission ... or in fact [if the man is] one of the principal offenders," he said on Sunday.
"Investigators will continue those investigations until all persons that had a hand in that conspiracy have been brought to justice," he said.
Commander Bryson said the investigation would also consider links between the suspects and the naval base.
"We're still inquiring into the backgrounds of the individual concerned, and what their connection may be with the relevant considerations as to the base and the motivations for the offender.''
Navy chief Vice Admiral Ray Griggs has ordered a security review of all naval bases.
"The young sailor concerned who was on duty at the time is okay, he's being looked after and that was obviously one of my primary concerns.
''There is, as I said, an investigation underway from the police perspective, but I've also initiated a review of security on board our ships and establishments this morning."

Why do you think Tiger Woods lives in Florida?
In November, voters in California approved a ballot measure raising the top rate on income over $1 million to 13.3% (the increase applies retroactively to last year). ... Mr. Woods grossed $56.4 million in 2012. As a Floridian, he will keep about $7.5 million that he otherwise would have owed to the state of California. His net tax savings over his 16-year career come to about $100 million. Mr. Mickelson last year earned $60.7 million. Paying the 13.3% California rate, he will owe the state $8 million.That takes Mickelson down to $52.7 million, putting him behind Woods, when he was ahead of him on the money list. Aggravating! (I know, I'm failing to take account of the way state taxes are a deduction on your federal income taxes and everything else that affects after-tax income.)
The benefit of living in a state without an income tax can be diminished by the "jock tax" that states impose on money earned by athletes when they're playing or training in the state. (Luckily for baseball players, spring training is in no-tax Florida or low-tax Arizona.) But in sports like tennis and golf where athletes can train anywhere in the world, a preponderance happen to migrate to states without an income tax.These celebs — with their endorsements — need good PR, as the Mickelson slip proved. State tax proponents could get proactive and actively shame the sports stars who live in Florida without an adequate cover story.
For instance, Serena and Venus Williams grew up in Compton, Calif., but moved with their father to Florida in the early 1990s.

What is Compost?
Compost is a useful organic material made from organic wastes (e.g., yard trimmings, food wastes, manures). In composting, bulking agents (e.g., wood chips) are added to organic wastes to accelerate the breakdown of material. Then, the finished material is fully stabilized and matured through a curing process.
Worm composting uses red worms to create useful organic material from kitchen wastes.
The Uses and Benefits of Compost:
- Provides mulch for landscaping and gardens
- Replaces fertilizers
- Provides erosion control
- Alleviates soil compaction
- Improves soil structure, porosity, and density, creating a better plant root environment
- Suppresses plant diseases and pests
- Promotes higher yields of crops and plants
- Cost-effectively remediates soil contaminated by hazardous waste
Choosing a Composting Bin
Not all composting bins are equal. For table scraps, consider a worm box/bin instead of a composting bin. The rule of thumb for worm bin size is two square feet of surface area per person, or one square foot of surface area per pound of food waste per week. Red worms work best for composting. If your goal is to "hold" materials such as leaves for a year or so, a large open-air holding bin is most practical. For active, hot composting, smaller enclosed plastic bins are preferred.
Tips for Creating the Best Compost
Add kitchen scraps (see the list of What to Compost above). Kitchen scraps are high in nitrogen, which heats the pile and helps speed up the process.
Aerate your compost whenever you add new material. Oxygen plays an essential role in the breakdown of materials.
Keep your compost moist but not wet. Dried composting material will not break down and wet composting material will stink.
Don't overload on any one material. Variety is the key.
Tips for Worm Composting
Place your bin in a shady location where the temperatures will remain moderate. Some great places include outside the back door, on the patio, in the garage, in the laundry room or in a kitchen pantry.
Black and white newspaper makes great bedding material. Just tear into strips and moisten to the dampness of a wrung-out sponge.
Red worms work best for composting because they have large appetites, reproduce quickly and thrive in confined spaces.
Worms like to eat some of the same foods we eat. Examples include apple cores, orange peels, lettuce trimmings, coffee grinds and tea bags. (See the list of What to Compost below for more information.)
If your worms are dying, the culprit is usually lack of food, temperatures that are too high or too low or moisture levels that are too high or too low. Dying worms could also mean it's time for fresh bedding.
If your bin smells rotten or attracts flies, there may not be enough air circulation or you may have materials in your bin that should not be used for compost (see the lists below for details). Another culprit is exposed food. Make sure the lid is secured, cover food scraps with bedding and cover the bedding and worms with a sheet of plastic.
What to Compost:
- Animal manure
- Cardboard
- Clean paper
- Cotton rags
- Dryer and vacuum cleaner lint
- Eggshells
- Fireplace ashes
- Fruits and vegetables
- Grass Clippings
- Hair and fur
- Hay and straw
- Houseplants
- Leaves
- Nut shells
- Sawdust
- Shredded newspaper
- Tea bags
- Wood chips
- Wool rags
- Yard trimmings (unless treated with chemical pesticides)
What NOT to Compost:
- Black walnut tree leaves or twigs
- Coal or charcoal ash
- Dairy products
- Egg yolks
- Diseased or insect-ridden plants
- Fats, grease, lard or oils
- Meat
- Fish bones and scraps
- Pet wastes (cat litter, dog or cat feces)
- Yard trimmings treated with chemical pesticides

This is a great site for college football. I crack up at just about every story you guys put out. Honestly, if someone doesn't like your site they just don't understand the tradition, emotion and joy of college football. From a South Carolina fan - Great Job!

Happy Birthday M Zone. I'm not really a Michigan fan, either, but love the site, and chew up lots of valuable work time daily reading it. It must be starting to affect me, though, since I was at the Twin Cities Marathon this past weekend waiting for my wife to run by and I shouted "Go Blue" at a runner wearing a UM singlet (who naturally pumped his fist in the air). I have to be careful, though, reading the site since my manager has huge tOsu connections.
Keep up the great work....

The 2013 Urban Invitational, which is returning to Houston for the second consecutive year, will exclusively feature four Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) for the first time in the event's history. The four participating collegiate baseball programs are Alabama State University (Montgomery, Alabama), Southern University (Baton Rouge, Louisiana), Prairie View A&M University (Prairie View, Texas) and Texas Southern University (Houston). The Urban Invitational is the annual, round-robin collegiate baseball tournament designed by Major League Baseball to give HBCUs and their baseball programs national exposure.
All Urban Invitational games will be played at Minute Maid Park from Friday, Feb. 22 through Sunday, Feb. 24. The games on Saturday, Feb. 23 will air live on MLB Network and MLB.com, beginning at 4 p.m. CT, with play-by-play from MLB Network Analysts Joe Magrane and Paul Severino.
Tickets are currently available for purchase by visiting Astros.com/community.
"Major League Baseball would like to congratulate the four teams and all the student-athletes who will be participating in this year's Urban Invitational," said Frank Robinson, MLB Executive Vice President of Baseball Development. "This annual event is an important and special opportunity for the sport to showcase the talent and skill level demonstrated by HBCU programs deserving of national attention. We are proud to work alongside the Astros organization to not only provide a wonderful experience for those playing the games on the field, but also offer opportunities away from the diamond for the Houston community."
"The Houston Astros are very excited that Major League Baseball has chosen to return the Urban Invitational to Minute Maid Park this year," said Daryl Wade, Manager of the Houston Astros MLB Urban Youth Academy. "Last year's event was a great success for the Astros, Major League Baseball and the city of Houston. We all look forward to continuing this relationship with the ultimate goal of continuing to provide local youth, students and young professionals instruction, support and opportunities for their future successes."
Prior to Saturday's contests, MLB and the Houston Astros will host a youth baseball clinic at the Houston Astros MLB Urban Youth Academy at Sylvester Turner Park from 9-11:30 a.m. Players from each of the participating teams in the Urban Invitational will help provide instruction to Academy youth and boys and girls from local Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities programs (RBI).
Additionally, MLB and the Houston Astros will host a college and career fair at Minute Maid Park on Friday, Feb. 22 from 12-3 p.m. CT. Participating colleges and universities will provide information about college preparation, undergraduate and graduate degree programs, financial aid and scholarship opportunities, and local businesses will also be on hand to provide career advice and discuss potential job opportunities.
Tickets to all games and events at Minute Maid Park will be available to the general public for $10, and parking for Minute Maid Park is also available for $10 in the Diamond Lot and $5 for the other Astros controlled lots. High School students and below with a valid student ID will be admitted to the ballpark for free. All proceeds from the ticket sales will benefit the Major League Baseball Urban Youth Foundation, which is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) corporation.
Major League Baseball is committed to implementing programs that provide underserved and inner-city youth with more opportunities to play baseball and softball. With four operating MLB Urban Youth Academies in Houston, Compton (California), New Orleans (Louisiana) and Gurabo (Puerto Rico), and three others announced in Cincinnati (Ohio), Hialeah (Florida) and Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), MLB has continued to pledge resources to bring America's pastime to young people in urban communities.
HBCUs have long offered quality educational and athletic programs and have a proud tradition of outstanding baseball players. Baseball Hall of Famers Lou Brock and Andre Dawson, as well as current Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks, played in HBCU baseball programs. Since 2008, the year of the inaugural Urban Invitational, 15 HBCU players who have played in the Urban Invitational have been selected in the First-Year Player Draft, including three in 2012. Christopher Wolfe, who played in the 2012 Urban Invitational for Grambling State University, was selected in the 30th round (919 overall) by the Oakland Athletics.
Southern University has participated in all six Urban Invitationals, while this is the second time for Alabama State University, Prairie View A&M University and Texas Southern University.

"You don't know, do you?"
Now, you know how we love our cheerleaders here on the MZone. Of course we prefer when they're female who go from pom-pons to porn, even more so after this story of male cheerleader who went from screaming on the sidelines to screaming on the airwaves.
Kevin James (not the actor) is a former Oklahoma Sooner cheerleader-turned-lawyer-turned-radio talkshow host in Los Angeles. And judging from the YouTube video here, he's one of those modern day firebrands who "prove" the validity of their points and positions, not via the content of their argument, but by being louder than those with an opposing point of view. Because no matter where you personally fall on the political spectrum, as we all know from watching the "news shows" that pass for political discourse in our country today, louder means smarter.
To set the stage for what you're about to watch, in a nutshell...
Last week, President Bush addressed Israel's Parliament and basically compared those who negotiate with "terrorists and radicals" to British leader Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler and Nazi Germany before WWII. Democrats claimed the remarks were aimed at Barack Obama, the White House denied he was the target.
Shortly after Bush made the remarks, MSNBC's Chris Matthews had KRLA's James, a "right-wing" radio talkshow host in Los Angeles, and a Mark Green, a "left-wing" radio host from Air America, on HARDBALL to discuss the brewing controversy. Below is the clip. You MUST watch. Really.
Please know, putting this up is not an endorsement of one political party, candidate or viewpoint. Whether you agree or disagree with the President's comments, James' uninformed ignorance is simply staggering. And all the shouting in the world can't hide it.
You know, folks, it's one thing for those of us talking smack on a college football blog to be full of shit. It's another when you're on a national TV show discussing U.S. foreign policy issues and presidential politics.
I mean, trying to defend your position on something as frivolous as the college football superiority of INSERT SCHOOL HERE and being wrong is sometimes funny. Being a radio host in the second largest market in America and stirring up passions on issues of real importance when you don't know what the fuck you're talking about is scary.
P.S. I just went to the KRLA website to see if this James guy still had a job (somehow he does from the looks of it) and you know what the station's slogan is? Oh, this is rich in light of the above: Intelligent. Conservative. Talk Radio.

Seriously. That is both funny and sad. Funny b/c Kevin James is clearly a moron, and sad b/c he represents a large segment of the voting population in this country, if not the majority. I love it when Mark Green suggests he read Richard Clark's book and Kevin James invites him to watch 'Pathway to 911'. Kevin is obviously not an avid reader and so typifies the 'non-intellectual' elite that have been on control of this country for so long.

Yeah ... it's sad, but at the same time, I'm pretty sure the producers knew what they were getting when they asked him to appear. So I'm guessing they got what they were looking for, and if that's the case, then it's sad they'd be looking for that.

Chris Matthews spoke at my college graduation. He was a genius. And arch-conservative and anti-woman's rights activist Phyllis Schlafly was getting an honorary degree there, and Chris Matthews basically pwned her.

- OSURulz said...
FWIW, Bush has been making pretty much the exact same speech about appeasement and Hitler for almost his entire term in office. I find It interesting now that this particular speech was considered to be specifically aimed at Obama. I'm certain Obama would be included in the collective targets, but I think Bush would have delivered a similar (if not exactly the same) speech regardless of Obama's policies. The fact that its campaign time was just an added bonus.
Its sad that Kevin James is unfortunately more of the rule than the exception when it comes to the political "experts" out there. I watch Real Time with Bill Maher, who is decidedly Democrat, and he has blow-hards like Kevin James from both ends of the political spectrum on his show all the time. People who makes gross overstatements, people who raise ridiculous conspiracy theories, and people who are so mislead that you wonder if they even read the newspaper. The pattern that I've come to notice is ...
1) Its easy to make someone look stupid when you are the one asking the questions (like Chris Matthews).
2) The audience responds more to the gross overstatements than the well thought out arguments (like the ones Kevin James offers).
Its sad really. Kevin James and his ilk should ALL be fired.

In defense of Kevin James, he DID answer the question: Neville Chamberlain was an appeaser who energized, legitimized AND legitimized and energized Hitler...through appeasement...with his appeasing ways of energizing and legitimizing. Hitler, dammit!

Thank you Yost, that is CLASSIC. I kinda doubt the producers knew he he was that ignorant. I mean really? REALLY!?! And it is fairly easy to make someone look stupid when you're asking the questions, but even easier when your guest is moron. Perhaps when you don't know the factual evidence behind you argument you'd be better off to simply shut it.
And fwiw, Mark Green's toupee was clearly made for radio.

this doesn't seem to be anywhere near what the host claimed that the word meant.... while captain cheerleader boy was way out of whack and over the top.... the host was a dumbass too. IMO.

He did get one thing right, Bill Clinton turned a blind eye to terrorism, which lead to 9/11. Yes, 9/11 happened while Bush was president, but you don't plan that attack over a 9 month period that was multiple years in the making.
Since, Bush has been president name one terrorist activity post 9/11 that has happened on our SOIL?
While it is sad to see our Men and WOMEN die or get hurt overseas, just imagine it being young children and innocent Men and Women on their way to work or at work with bombs going off!
Some of you will tell me the above statement is an OVERSTATEMENT, but I'd rather fight this fight on their soil then in our own backyard.
And who on here on 9/12 didn't want to see us go kick some ass overseas for what had been done on 9/11?!?!

The whole country wanted to kick some ass after 9/11 yes, and look where thats gotten us. Im sure Clinton has some blame for the attacks, but if the past 8 years have shown us anything its that you can never give Bush the benefit of the doubt with something like this. You also mention how youd rather fight the fight on their soil. Iraq had nothing to do with it, so the proper sports analogy here would be going to Iowa City to play OSU.
COREY, you really shouldn't defend a war where thousands of young americans are dying for no specific purpose...

Ok people.
I have listened to Kevin James because he's on here in So Cal. The fact that some of you seem to know his intellect because he didn't know one thing sort of puts you in the same stupid category you put James in.
The other thing I do know about these political shows is that they want people who can create the hoopla and are very scripted. It wouldn't surprise me if this was somewhat staged.
One thing is that as much as James made himself look like a fool, he is no dummy as many of you seem to think.

On October 1, around 90 donors who donated $150 during the August pledge drive climbed aboard charter buses for the inaugural KLRU/Daytripper Meat Up – a tour of barbecue restaurants featured on Chet Garner's The Daytripper. Chet joined the group of super fans for a tasting tour of iconic Texas barbecue joints: Black's, Luling City Market, and Smitty's. Each restaurant had something special to offer: a tour of the pit at Blacks, an extra rib at Luling City Market, and dollar scoops of Blue Bell at Smitty's.
For recaps and photos from some of the folks that were on the Meat Up see here and here.

Assuming it's not legally ridiculous, is it politically wise? To make it work legally, won't [the Obama administration] have to own pathetically weak enforcement as a deliberate and important policy? Won't they have to be very clear that Arizona must shut up and accept the current situation? Who will get better political leverage out of this lawsuit — those who favor stronger enforcement of immigration law or those who favor leniency?Now, it seems the Democratic governors are answering my question:
While the weak economy dominated the official agenda at the summer meeting here of the National Governors Association, concern over immigration policy pervaded the closed-door session between Democratic governors and White House officials and simmered throughout the three-day event.
At the Democrats' meeting on Saturday, some governors bemoaned the timing of the Justice Department lawsuit, according to two governors who spoke anonymously because the discussion was private.Did the NYT use the word "anonymously" as some kind of anti-Bredesen joke? He's such a nonentity! Or were there 2 other governors who were ass-cover-y enough to demand anonymity as they breached the privacy understanding, and the NYT mentioned them just before quoting Bredesen to make Bredesen look indiscreet/bold? Or — this is awkward but most likely — were the 2 anonymous governors the ones who revealed that there was a lot of anxiety and simmering at the private meeting, and Bredesen's quote, technically, doesn't refer to the meeting. It's just his direct expression of the anxiety that was also expressed at the meeting.
"Universally the governors are saying, 'We've got to talk about jobs,' " Gov. Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, a Democrat, said in an interview. "And all of a sudden we have immigration going on."
He added, "It is such a toxic subject, such an important time for Democrats."
(The Althouse blog, making reading the New York Times more annoying than it would be if you slogged though it alone. That's how I try to help — by heightening annoyingness. I hope you enjoy the pain.)
The lawsuit contends that controlling immigration is a federal responsibility, but polls suggest that a majority of Americans support the Arizona law, or at least the concept of a state having a strong role in immigration enforcement.They had to throw in that "raucous protest," didn't they? Was it, like, one guy? Because I notice there isn't a word about the size of the protest. Yet the polls only "suggest that a majority of Americans support the Arizona law." Why "suggest"? The polls I've seen show strong support for the law. Perhaps even raucous support.
Republican governors at the Boston meeting were also critical of the lawsuit, saying it infringed on states' rights and rallying around [Arizona Governor Jan] Brewer, whose presence spurred a raucous protest around the downtown hotel where the governors gathered.
"I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that almost every state in America next January is going to see a bill similar to Arizona's," said Gov. Dave Heineman of Nebraska, a Republican seeking re-election.Oh, shut up, Bill. The West... get over yourself. The proper term is "some of those states in the middle."
But the unease of Democratic governors, seven of whom are seeking re-election this year, was more striking.
"I might have chosen both a different tack and a different time," said Gov. Bill Ritter Jr. of Colorado, a Democrat who was facing a tough fight for re-election and pulled out of the race earlier this year. "This is an issue that divides us politically, and I'm hopeful that their strategy doesn't do that in a way that makes it more difficult for candidates to get elected, particularly in the West."
The White House would not directly respond to reports of complaints from some Democratic governors.Indirectly, however, the answer is, as noted, shut up.

These are simply the best eyepieces made.
Think of all the heavily advertised eyepieces on the market. NONE have all 3 of the important features required to be considered the best.
High Contrast and Resolution, Eye Relief and Wide Field of View.
All of the "Big Name" eyepieces have one or two features but never all 3. Except PENTAX. You can get the famous brands or the best.
The series has expanded from seven focal lengths to eight from 3.5 mm to 40 mm. The XW series features a wide apparent angle of view (70 degrees), JIS Class 4 weatherproof construction and a long eye relief (20 mm). We have tested them and the eye lenses are very wide and have a huge "sweetspot", unlike some wide field eyepieces. The new design uses ED Lanthanum glass and the world's best PENTAX-SMC multilayer coatings.
PENTAX offers the XW 30 and XW 40 eyepieces for planetary observations. Each eyepiece is compatible with the PENTAX PF-80ED, PF-80EDA and PF-100ED spotting scopes as well as a wide range of telescopes. Engineered using advanced computer simulation design technology, both eyepieces feature a 70-degree field of view, long eye relief, and the superior, high-performance glass elements and optics PENTAX is known for. Unsurpassed in their optical performance and quality, these eyepieces provide the ultimate in image sharpness and contrast.

ELLWOOD CITY, Pa. (AP) — A Moose lodge plans to park a trailer loaded with a nativity scene in front of a municipal building in a western Pennsylvania town that had been threatened with a lawsuit over its creche display in front of the building.
Officials in Ellwood City did away with their display — a 50-year tradition — after the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation threatened to sue. A local attorney paid for a new creche and set it up outside a former church he owns.
But local Moose members plan to park their trailer-borne nativity in front of the borough building by 5 p.m. Thursday and take donations for Mooseheart, an Illinois school run by the fraternal organization.
Borough officials tell the Beaver County Times they won't disrupt the Moose display if it doesn't violate parking or other laws.
