VOTE ON IT: Which of Todd's early Super 11s would make YOUR list? SEE OUR PHOTOS
The AJC won't be selecting its annual football Super 11 team of high school seniors until late summer. But discussion begins today with you.
I'm going to throw out 11 names. I haven't studied how all these guys are being recruited. Our Michael Carvell is the expert about that. I just follow high school football. That doesn't mean I haven't heard a few things about recruiting. But my picks might more influenced by the players I've seen or been told about by high school fans and coaches.
Tell me what you think about these 11. Who would you pick?
RB Ean Pemberton, Grayson: He won't be a big recruit because he's not, well, big. He's 5-3. Pemberton rushed for close to 2,000 yards last season. Should a super high school player be Super 11 if he's not a big-time recruit?
OL JaWuan James, North Gwinnett: James is almost the opposite of Pemberton. Good high school player, but not the best player on his team last season. Probably not the best lineman on his team. But he's a HUGE college prospect. He's 6-6 and has offers from Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tech and about 20 other schools. Should a super recruit be Super 11 if he's not yet one of the 11 best players in Georgia?
QB Hutson Mason, Lassiter: Mason threw for 3,705 yards last season, five short of the state record. He reportedly has an offer from Iowa, but he lacks prototype QB size. Which means he might not make Super 11 for that reason.
RB Martez Eastland, Ringgold: I've seen him on tape only. Major sleeper. Eastland (6-foot, 230 pounds) rushed for 1,621 yards on 211 carries. Son of former Auburn star Donnie Humphrey.
WR Markeith Ambles, Henry County: Caught 40 passes last season for about 750 yards. Returned four kicks for TDs. I saw him play. Definitely a D-1 receiver. Not sure I like him as much as his WR teammate last season, Jamal Patterson.
DL Jeffrey Whitaker, Warner Robins: Generally considered the top defensive lineman in Georgia. Several D-1A offers already. Never seen him play.
DB Alec Ogletree, Newnan: Blocked six kicks last season. That's a show of athleticism. Also an outstanding basketball player. Had 75 tackles on a 12-1 team. I've seen him in two sports. Virtual lock for Super, I'd think.
OL Ed Christian, Lowndes: Top lineman on a team that rushed for 3,600 yards last season. I've seen him, and he's special. Should've been first-team all-state but wasn't primarily because he was a junior.
RB Mack Brown, M.L. King: Rushed for 1,660 yards and 21 touchdowns on 177 carries last season. Probably the state's top running back prospect.
WR Tai-Ler Jones, Gainesville: Jones caught 81 passes for 979 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. Also a good punter – 43.8 yards per punt. A ton of big-name offers.
QB Connor Shaw, Flowery Branch: Passed for 2,146 yards and 22 touchdowns. Also rushed for 929 yards. His team was the Class AAA runner-up. Big brother plays at Tech.

Garrison Glass DT Booker T> Washington High School , TOP DT in Metro Atlanta 83 tackles 4 sacks,8 stops in backfield sleeper that should be considered for super 11
March 23rd, 2009
6:15 am
don't forget about Walton's Brandon Burrows! He's ridiculously good and maybe the best athlete to come through the school, ever…
March 23rd, 2009
7:10 am
Garrison Smith #56 from Douglass HS (Atlanta,Ga) is the best DL in the country! If he does not make the Super 11 the whole poll should be shut down. Smith's offers,grades and field play says everything ask any major college in the country start with every SEC university.
March 23rd, 2009
7:57 am
Ean may not be a top recruit because of his size, but I would consider him one of best backs in Ga.
March 23rd, 2009
8:42 am
Zach Amey from Creekside is an excellent football player, I would consider him one the best in the state. RB/LB/KR.
March 23rd, 2009
9:08 am
Hutson mason is a good quarterback, but not a BCS conference quarterback. He lacks size and arm strength and his numbers are more influenced by the spread passing attack(Similar to Texas Tech).
March 23rd, 2009
9:14 am
It would be a shame if they allow size to prevent pemberton from getting it. Remember his is 5′5 150pounds and rushed for 2000 thousands yards in AAAAA football impressive. That alone should get him it.
March 23rd, 2009
9:17 am
Isaiah Johnson – Safety – Sandy Creek – 7 ints and 55 tackles and 6 PBU's
March 23rd, 2009
9:20 am
Terrell Brigham (ATH)from Burke County. Passed for 1700 and Rushed for 1100. Saftey at the next level. Hidden in the rural town of Waynesboro, Georgia. CSRA Player of year and All-State Honorable Mention.
March 23rd, 2009

I agree sanders,cornelius, and thornton are some good players.

They didnt even mention Mack Brown of MLK and there's an up and coming quarterback by the name of Miles Gooch at Towers. He's 6′3″ 205lbs and is a beast.
March 23rd, 2009
2:03 pm
Devin Scott from TUCKER HIGH has to be one of the best i've ever seen. His only drawback is his size and ask those defenders he blazes through, how much that hurts him. I'm sure they wish they had a bigger target. Devin Scott. Dont sleep on him.
March 23rd, 2009

Corey Carmichael…….Woodstock LB..Killer
March 23rd, 2009

Burrows, Gilbert, and Woestmann from Walton. All have D-1 offers
March 23rd, 2009
3:29 pm
Zach Amey, Creekside 135 tackles, 800 plus yards rushing and 15 touchdowns as a Junior. One of the best in the state by far!!!!
March 23rd, 2009
3:56 pm
Shawn Green, DT Grayson should definitely be on this list as well.
March 23rd, 2009
4:19 pm
You guys better stop putting all these Metro area kids in the Super 11, and neglecting the rest of the state. If that's the case it should just be call the Atlanta Metro Super 11. The Macon Telegraph should have their own. Also what ever newspaper is dominant further south than Macon should have their own. The best players in the State aren't represented on this pre Super 11.
March 23rd, 2009
4:39 pm
I saw 5 with my own eyes – James, Pemberton, Hutson, Brown and Ogletree. The one to keep on the radar is Ogletree. He's as punishing a safety as you will see in high school football and probably the early front-runner for metro player of the year with Brown a close second. If you are taking suggestions, former Buford running back Storm Johnson should be on this list. He was in line to be the next Wolves back to sign a major scholarship…any word on why he left? Cole Moon (St. Pius X) is another one to keep your eye on.
March 23rd, 2009
4:48 pm
Hutson Mason is loosing his offensive line and several of his talented receivers at Lassiter. The jury is out!
March 23rd, 2009
4:57 pm
While this isnt likely I would like to see pemberton, green, and terry williams at inside linebacker get it all from grayson. they are 3 very good players
March 23rd, 2009
5:00 pm
Grayson has several that could be added to this list along with Green and Pemberton, J Champaign and T.Williams
March 23rd, 2009
5:17 pm
Todd: The Robot Nesbitt has concluded that players should not be selected for the Super 11 based on status as a prospect. The selection process must be based on performance at the high school level. The top prospects will have their recongition on recruiting sites and programs. The top PLAYERS, not just prospects, deserve attention too.
Please confirm. Thank you.
Robot out.

Ean Pemberton is not the same height he was his sophmore year. As of now he is 5′5 150. Dont let size fool you. Let me remind you, he also won the weight lifting competition at Peachtree Ridge Highschool for his weight class.
March 23rd, 2009

David Cooper (LB) Brookwood highschool and Charles Perkins (LB) Collins hill………both commited to Georgia Tech
March 23rd, 2009

Just because guys have offers from big school, does that make them a super 11, or does their contributions to their team and stats take care of that.
March 23rd, 2009

Any chance of some baseball coverage; football and basketball are over in case the ajc didn't realize it.
March 24th, 2009

I have saidthis for years. I agree with previous Blogger in that the sports staff of AJC needs to stop saying super 11 as to imply it is all over the state of Georgia; because it is not! Todd this should be renamed to Atlanta area super 11…..you just can make as many AAAAAAAAA schools have as many super,super super, elite members as you so desire…and the REST of the state can do likewise……….THIS would make it FAIR!!!!
March 24th, 2009
8:01 am
Henry High is not the only school in the county. Check out Ola High School. Two great prospects, Dylan Leonard, OL, 6′4, 290 lbs. with a 4.6 GPA, also TE Dylan Thompson, 6′3″, 220 lbs. Both are being looked at by several D-1 schools including Vandy and Georgia Tech.
March 24th, 2009
9:49 am
Ahhhhh, let the Metro vs. the rest of the State debate begin and it isn't even April. There are only five players that I would consider METRO on this list. Some of you act like we have never heard of Valdosta or Lowndes or Statesboro or Camden County. While I love the whole North-South, metro-everywhere else debate as much as the next guy, be honest and recognize that there are a lot more schools in the metro area than anywhere else in the state so a good number of anyone's top list for the state is going to include metro players. It's like what Jimmy the Greek said way back in the day. You might not like to hear it, but it is the truth. And this is coming from a guy who grew up in Savannah (I think I can name all of the All-State players from that area for the last 10 years on two hands) and worked at South and Middle Georgia papers for most of my career. Todd can probably back this up with more numbers, but if you look at percentage of schools in the metro area versus percentage of schools everywhere else, the number of Super 11 picks follows the numbers. Newnan, Ringgold, Warner Robins, Gainesville and Lowndes are not Metro. Henry is on the fringes, as is Flowery Branch. You might can make an argument, but even then five of the 11 are definitely outside of metro.
March 24th, 2009
10:43 am
Good comments so far. …
My thoughts on some of them:
Metro bias – It's a myth. I thought Chris summed that up well. Most of these guys are not metro. Flowery Branch is not really metro.
Also, I just looked at the past five years of Super 11 teams. Only once, in 2006, were most of the Super 11 from metro Atlanta. There were six that year. In 2008, 2007, 2005 and 2004, there were more Super 11 outside of metro Atlanta than in. In 2004, there was only one metro Atlanta player in the Super 11.
OK, here are my Super 11 comments:
1 – Football season is never over in Georgia.
2 – If you don't have an offer yet, you are not likely to be a Super 11 player. So "being looked at by several D-1 schools" is nice, but not usually Super 11 material.
3- Responding to "Just because guys have offers from big school, does that make them a super 11, or does their contributions to their team and stats take care of that." … To be a Super 11, I believe you need to be both a great prospect and a great player. Those who are one but not the other are not likely to make it. Good example last year was Mikey Tamburro. First-team all state QB, but no BCS offers. He didn't make Super 11. Another case: Jonathan Davis. Awesome player with a few but not many BCS offers. He made it. But we debated that one long and hard.
4 – Thanks for the updates on Ean Pemberton. You can't help but love that player. But here's my guess: He will have a tough time making Super 11. But he's got a shot.
5 – Stephen Hill. Who knows how good he'll be. But he won't be a Super 11 unless he's got a fifth year of eligibility. I liked watching him in basketball.
6 – "The best players in the State aren't represented on this pre Super 11." You might be right. Let's hear yours. How many players south of Macon have D-1 offers?
7 – "The Robot Nesbitt has concluded that players should not be selected for the Super 11 based on status as a prospect." See #3.
8 – Garrison Smith, Douglass. Almost picked him. He's got a good shot to make the final cut.
9 – Terrell Brigham, Burke County. Almost picked him too. Not sure what kind of prospect he's going to be.
10 – Hutson Mason, Lassiter. Someone implied above that, while Mason is very good, he is a bit of a system QB and benefited a lot from a good line and receivers (i.e., Lutzenkirchen). Interesting debate. Mason was not the AJC's first-team all state QB in AAAAA despite superior statistics mainly because we thought Mike Tamburro was a little better, despite what the numbers say. Are you saying that was a good call? I'll be interested to see how Hutson does this year. I think he'll do well, but won't replicate those 2008 numbers. Hope I'm wrong, as I loved seeing Lassiter make a run last year.
11 – Brandon Burrows, Walton. What's the deal on him? He's got an offer at UGA as a RB, but he didn't start last season, at least not at RB.

What is the criterior for being a super 11. Because if you take pemberton from grayson they won't when 4 games. The value this kid brings to his school and county is out of this world and he should be rewarded for that. The kid is small with a big heart. And just in case you forgot he out played greg reid when they met head to head. Oh didn't he get player of the year.
March 24th, 2009
11:39 am
Todd why almost on Garrison Smith he is the best Defensive Lineman in the country. Garrison has everything you describe in your post. The kid is more than a prospect he is a Great! player and most of his offers 30 + are from BCS programs and all D-1A. How much more does the kid need on his resume? Picking Smith as a Super 11 should have no thought it should be automatic. Smith has qualified and he is an honor student. At 6′3 260 4.5 forty plays DT & DE I think he is the pick of the litter.
March 24th, 2009
11:48 am
Ed Christian is a great choice to be in the super 11. He has already said he will be going to FSU with Greg Reid and Gerald Demps to play football when he graduates next spring.
March 24th, 2009
11:53 am
DaRick Rogers. You better get on the band wagon. He is a 6′2″ 205 lb. Wide Receiver from Calhoun High School. He runs a 4.45 40 all day long and has a Vertical of 38″. Hide and watch. LSU, UGA, Florida, Purdue, along with a few more, have all offered.
March 24th, 2009
12:07 pm
This is funny. Good thing South Ga has such great coaches because obviously they don't have the athletes. You AJC folks are so ignorant to football as a whole in Ga.
March 24th, 2009
1:03 pm
Hutson Mason hands down is a Super 11 tallent. I don't care if you think he is a system QB or not the kid passed for 3700 yards and nearly 30 TD's that is unheard of! More important he did it against good competition (they played 4 teams ranked in the top 10 AAAAA, one in AAAA). Hutson is not "under sized" as stated above, he is 6′3″ and just under 190 lbs He has a great arm and can make all the throws you want by a D-1 QB. I have been fortunate to see other QB's for the last 35 years in the south and Georgia. I know what a D-1 QB looks and plays like! He's got it. As far as performance, when faced head to head he has held his own or out performed all comers including Mikey Tamburo,Connor Shaw (see 7on7 tournament 2008). Lassiter had a good team last year, not great. They had numerous weaknesses(speed back,WR) but a well rounded team. Hutson was able to lead them to the 2nd round of the GA State AAAAA playoff. It would be even more spectacular if Lassiter had a bonified D-1 speedster at RB or WR. Lutz did make it easier for Hutson due to his tremendous tallent but defenses can key on one man. Iowa has offered and Purdue is close as is E. Carolina, and NC State. Anyone who thinks this kid is not D-1 or still questions his ablilities either did not see him, saw him only one time or has some personal thing going. He is doing more with less than any other QB I know.
March 24th, 2009
1:29 pm
I think AJC should look at three thing when picking SUPER 11 players. #1 CORE GRADE POINT AVERAGE #2 D1 OFFERS #3 Resume on and off the field. SUPER 11 PLAYERS shouldn't just be athletes. They should be student-athletes. Grades should be the first thing you look for, because in the past too many SUPER 11 PLAYERS didn't have the grades. A athletes should already be qualified to play at the next level. The SUPER 11 PICK SHOULD BE STUDENT-ATHLETE HONOR.
March 24th, 2009
2:25 pm
Hutson Mason will not replicate his numbers from last year. If he gets 2500 yards and 20 or so touchdowns this year he's good but he does benefit from a spread pass attack that really doesn't require great arm strength which fits him well because he lollipops throws 30+ yards. His strength is his accuracy and his recievers help him a lot.
March 24th, 2009
4:06 pm
If you honestly can say Hutson Mason does not have arm strength, then you have never seen him play. Ya the Trojans throw the ball a lot but we would be saying that about connor shaw if he was in that offense. Whoever said Hutson was undersized must have there info wrong i have seen this kid play, but all though i have never met him he has the size and arm strength to throw any pass. lollipop passes… haha someone doesn't get out on friday nights
March 24th, 2009
7:24 pm
I'll go for Storm Johnson, big strong fast RB. Didn't carry alot of ball for Buford, but still rushed for 1300 yards and 21 TD's. Saw his videos on scout and rivals. This kid can really carry the mail. Has alot of offers from several BCS schools. Loganville will be on the map with Storm running from that I.
March 24th, 2009
9:32 pm
Georgia high school football is good, SOUTH FLORIDA high school football is better! Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.Speed, speed, and more speed and THANK GOD nobody down there runs that GODAWFUL WING-T OFFENSE!
March 24th, 2009
10:06 pm
What about Garrison Smith and David Yankey!!!
March 24th, 2009
10:54 pm
Storm Johnson a must, kid is amazing with strength, speed and vision. He will put up crazy numbers at Loganville..Already has major offers from the big time SEC programs.
March 24th, 2009
11:27 pm
How can you leave out A. Ogletree from Newnan. He is a speciman and will be one the highest recruited players in the nation. He is scary good.
March 24th, 2009
11:35 pm
Lowndes had Super 11 and player of the year last year and did not win state.
I prefer the non super 11 player years when we did win state. Super 11 is pretty good
but state championships is where it is at! ps-I think the super 11 should be made
up of 11 ball players from Grayson and Pemberton should be player of the year.

WISCONSIN DELLS (WKOW) -- Students from around the world come to the Wisconsin Dells every summer, as part of a work travel program.
But the program could end because the agencies that sponsor the students wouldn't be able to afford the costs involved under a new immigration bill.
"The tourism industry as a whole would be devastated if we're not allowed to hire J-1 students as the program would not be there," said Wilderness Territories human resources director, Shaun Tofson.
"I don't even know if we'd be able to operate. There would be parts of our businesses where we would have to potentially shut down," she said.
The proposed changes in the immigration policy come after some employers broke the law, taking advantage of visiting students.
Some students in the Dells live in motels for three months.
"There's no kitchen first of all. The toilet is so small and has no window. And it's an old motel," said worker, Korab Vokshi from Albania.
Then there are the hours.
"They told us it would be an average of 32 hours a week, but when they orientated us they told us it would depend on how much they're busy," said Gene Lim of the Philippines.
23-year-old Lim works a second job when it's slow.
Students say they paid agencies in their home countries about $3,000 to organize their jobs, Visas, and travel.
Students come away with little, but they say it's not about the money.
"It's really a cultural exchange and I really like this program," said Jason Silvera of Jamaica.
Wilderness Territories says they're in the midst of closing on a $1 million facility for overseas students to live in.

Angela Christine Stevens, beauty expert and star of WeTV's reality show, L.A. Hair, returned to her native Chicago to address graduating students at her alma mater Pivot Point Academy in Evanston, Illinois.
Stevens was the keynote speaker for Pivot Point's 2013 graduation and she spoke about her passion for all things beauty and how her Pivot Point cosmetology education prepared her for establishing a career in the competitive beauty environment of Los Angeles.
Stevens learned her craft at Pivot Point before moving to Los Angeles where she joined Kim Kimble at the Kimble Hair Studio where she has a loyal celebrity clientele including Eve, KeKe Palmer, Tia Mowry and others.
"Pivot Point is proud of all its talented alumni," says President Melanie Kopeikin. "Even after students graduate from Pivot Point, our partnership with them continues. We believe education is a lifelong process and we strive to support our alumni throughout their careers."
Stevens said, "I learned so much from my strong family and my time at Pivot Point. People think of the beauty industry as being something fun to do, but when you want to be successful, you also have to know about the business side of a beauty career and that takes a good solid foundation and skills."
Visit pivotpoint.edu for information and to hear Stevens' complete address to the Pivot Point graduating class.

(CNN) -- Mon Dieu! December 14 is National Bouillabaisse Day.
One bite of this soothing one-pot meal will transport you to the Mediterranean coast of France, where the dish originated. Who couldn't use a nice holiday in the sun in December?
While bouillabaisse is one of the cornerstones of Provençal cuisine, there are plenty of recipe variations in the sea.
The traditional version of the fisherman's stew from Marseille contains fish and shellfish, along with olive oil, onions, tomatoes, garlic, saffron, fennel and potatoes. Purists will argue true bouillabaisse must include rascasse, a bony scorpion fish found in the dish's native Mediterranean region.
Whether you stew up one fish, two fish, red fish or blue fish, just don't forget to serve bouillabaisse with rouille (a peppery saffron mayonnaise) and a crusty baguette to sop up every last inch of the broth.

All-Chinese Final In Warsaw?
Published May 20, 2010 12:00
WARSAW, Poland - A day after the No.2 seed went out, the No.1 seed followed suit. Caroline Wozniacki saw her Polsat Warsaw Open dreams come to an end on Thursday, losing the first set of her quarterfinal match against Zheng Jie before retiring due to a right ankle injury.
Watch live matches from Warsaw this week on TennisTV!
Wozniacki, who had actually lost two of her three previous meetings with Zheng, got broken in the sixth game of the match and couldn't recover, losing a lengthy 56-minute set, 6-3, then retiring. Highlights: Zheng vs. Wozniacki
"I sprained my ankle in Charleston and it has been bothering me since then," Wozniacki said. "I felt some pain from the beginning of the match today. I spoke to the physio and she said it would only get worse. I'm really sad. I wanted to win this match. I wanted to win the whole tournament. But health is the most important thing, and I didn't want to risk having a worse injury."
"I knew she had a problem with her ankle yesterday. My coach told me I should forget about it, though, and just concentrate on myself," Zheng said. "I feel lucky to make the semifinals here, but I wish we could have finished our match today."
Wozniacki wasn't sure she would be ready for Roland Garros: "I have to talk to the doctor and see what we can do with this injury. My ankle was taped really well today and I still felt some pain, so I don't know. I hope I can play."
Zheng missed the second half of 2007 with an injured left ankle, but rebounded to have an amazing 2008, highlighted by a semifinal run at Wimbledon.
"I injured my ankle on clay, so when I'm on this surface I'm always very careful and a bit nervous about it," Zheng said. "I'm more confident with each match."
Check out some of Zheng's best moments in this special gallery!
Next for the No.5-seeded Zheng is qualifier Greta Arn, who upset No.6 seed Alona Bondarenko in a marathon three-setter, 57 64 64. Bondarenko was a runner-up here last year but couldn't get past the tricky Arn, who mixed big serves in with a variety of spins and pace to outlast the Ukrainian No.1.
Earlier in the day, Li Na - at No.3 now the highest seed remaining in the Premier-level tournament - breezed past Sara Errani, 62 61. They just played in Stuttgart a few weeks ago, Li prevailing, 61 61. Highlights: Li vs. Errani
"I just played her in Stuttgart, but my coach told me this morning the court here is very different from there," Li said about her win over the feisty Italian. "I just had to concentrate on every point and I did that. I played consistently."
After becoming China's first Top 10 player earlier this year, Li had somewhat of a slump, including a four-match losing streak between Dubai and Miami - but she has found her feet again on clay courts, reaching the quarters at Stuttgart and Madrid and the semis here. She is one of the form players going into Paris.
"After Miami I went back to my home and took a 10 day break - 10 days without tennis," Li said. "After that I felt ready for tennis again. I went to Munich and started training very hard. I'm glad to see the hard work has paid off so far."
Next for Li is the defending champion, Alexandra Dulgheru, who rallied from 3-5 in the second set to send qualifier Tsvetana Pironkova home in straight sets, 64 75. Highlights: Dulgheru vs. Pironkova

Customer Reviews
This hoodie has a lot of nice features. Most of all it'a a women's fit and it has an interior cell phone pocket.
This is a high quality, well made sweatshirt. It's hard to call this a 'sweatshirt,' doesn't seem to do it justice. It's a jacket more than a sweatshirt, I think.
Excellent quality. Excellent fit

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – The I-Team started getting calls about problems with some of the same Jeep Liberties and the faulty gas tanks.
We've been following the story of vehicles spilling fuel every time car owners filled up. By the way, it's the fault of the car and not the pump.
The I-Team has captured three different examples of it happening.
While filling up his 2008 Jeep Liberty, Terry Babcock noticed the pump clicking off and gasoline squirted out of the release holes in streams.
"Thought it was the gas station," Babcock explained. "I thought the pressure might be too high here."
When we met Brenda Lawrence topping off her 2011 Jeep Liberty, her gas spill was more of a pour.
"Yes, big mess every time," Lawrence said as she described her problems.
Another Liberty owner, who didn't want to be identified, also invited us out for a show and tell.
All of the owners discovered problems with their vehicles the hard way.
After Babcock's second fill up and his third, he discovered the problem was his gas tank. The only fix was to replace it for $1000 and Lawrence made the same discovery.
"I just don't fill up my car anymore. It's kind of annoying. I just go to the gas tank and don't fill it because I know it's going to spill down the side so I just don't fill up anymore," she said.
At the time we did these interviews, their cars were not on a nationwide recall list and now they are.
"I think Chrysler Jeep should fix it," Lawrence contended.
Lawrence's car is scheduled to go in for a fix in a few days while Babcock's has already been repaired.
"They said that there would be a recall eventually," Babcock insisted.
From the time the problem was discovered, the recall has expanded to include more models and more years. Be sure to hold on to those receipts if you've already paid for a fix.
"This has been the problem for the last three years for these Jeep Liberties," Babcock claims.
Now that he's back to driving the car that he loves carefree, Babcock is again in the drivers seat.

HARRISBURG, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Health recently issued a Shigella advisory over fears that the highly contagious bacteria is quickly spreading across the state, according to the Philadelphia Examiner.
According to the story, outbreaks of shigellosis have been reported in Philadelphia, Allegheny, Dauphin and York counties.
The most important ways to prevent Shigella transmission are frequent and proper hand washing, practicing good general hygiene and keeping surfaces clean and disinfected, the story stated.
Special attention to cleanliness is urged in daycare centers where younger populations are more likely to transmit Shigella as a result of the bacteria passing from the stool or the soiled fingers of one person to the mouth of another person, the story noted.
Any individuals showing symptoms, which include fever, bloody diarrhea and stomach and abdominal cramping, are urged to seek medical treatment and avoid contact with healthy persons, the story added.

(About "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" (1996)) "The show is meaningful to kids and I think it does have a great message. I mean, I wish when I was a kid that I`d been watching a show where women were so clever and so forthright and powerful. I love the way that Sabrina deals with boys. I love the equality in their relationships. We didn`t have that when I was a kid. We didn`t have people like that to look at."
About Psycho Beach Party (2000): "I`ve played June Cleaver and I`ve played a killer, so it was fun for me to spoof myself."
We`re saying women can be powerful, women can live on their own and be strong, women can be smart and pretty, women can be whatever they want to be. That`s a really important message. I love the way Sabrina talks to boys. I mean nobody told me you could tell boys you weren`t interested! It was hard when I was a kid to find role models that were free and exciting and offered this type of latitude.
I think it`s very important to support the program in your area as each part of the country has its own challenges coping with AIDS. It can be very different from state to state and city to city. Wherever you live there is surely someone who could use your help.
I was a total nerd growing up. I`d rather sit home and read a novel on New Year`s Eve and say, `Wow, I read the whole thing in one night!` That was my idea of a big time.
Examining other people`s motivations, other people`s language and other people`s way of interacting is much more fascinating to me than spending a lot of time worrying about my own. I`ve said, What other people think of me is none of my business.""
There`s a lot more to being a woman than being 18-years old on the cover of Maxim magazine.

'Acousmatic, the Larousse dictionary tells us, is the 'name given to the disciples of Pythagoras who for five years, listened to his teachings while he was hidden behind a curtain, without seeing him, while observing a strict silence.' Hidden from their eyes, only the voice of their master reached the disciples.... In ancient times, the apparatus was a curtain; today, it is the radio and methods of reproduction, along with the entire set of electro-acoustic transformations, that place us, modern listeners to an invisible voice, under similar conditions.'

'Imagine a traveller from a hundred years ago arrives at our doorstep and asks us why the music of the 20th century operates so frequently on the basis of cyclic repetition. Not just the rap and dance genres of popular culture, but also minimalism - perhaps the single most viable strand of the Western art music tradition... why does so much of our music work this way? What kind of needs do these patterns satisfy?'

"Could it be that we come to the city in order to achieve solitude? Such has been the unspoken premise of the modern city of utopian individualism. By solitude I do not mean isolation. Isolation is a state of nature: solitude is the work of culture. Isolation is an imposition, solitude a choice."

"The whole human species, looked at from its origins, appears to the philosopher as an immense whole, which, like an individual, has its infancy and its progress … The totality of humanity, fluctuating between calm and agitation, between good times and bad, moves steadily though slowly towards a greater perfection."
Said nobody, at any time in the last one hundred years. Nowadays, our view of the future is more like the one seen from the middle ages than the Enlightenment. But from where he stood in 1750, or perhaps sat, on a chair a bit like the one pictured above, the French statesman and economist Jacques Turgot could look back on the past five centuries and see a gradual transition from primitive agrarians torturing and killing each other over superstitious nonsense, to the confident era of the Enlightenment, with its stupendous advancements in astronomy, medicine and physics.

'Thus it is well known that a child learns to walk, talk and to know his way around the world just by trying something out and seeing what happens, then modifying what he does (or thinks) in accordance with what has actually happened. In this way, he spends his first few years in a wonderfully creative way, discovering all sorts of things that are new to him, and this leads people to look back on childhood as a kind of lost paradise. As the child grows older, however, learning takes on a narrower meaning. In school, he learns by repetition to accumulate knowledge, so as to please the teacher and pass examinations. At work, he learns in a similar way, so as to make a living, or for some other utilitarian purpose, and not for the love of the action of learning itself. So his ability to see something new and original gradually dies away. And without it there is evidently no ground from which anything can grow.'

'That human life must be some kind of mistake is sufficiently proved by the simple observation that man is a compound of needs which are hard to satisfy; that their satisfaction achieves nothing but a painless condition in which he is given over to boredom; and that boredom is a direct proof that existence itself is valueless, for boredom is nothing more than the sensation of the emptiness of existence. For if life, in the desire for which our essence and existence consists, possessed in itself a positive value and real content, there would be no such thing as boredom: mere existence would fulfil and satisfy us. As things are, we take no pleasure in existence except when we are striving after something—in which case distance and difficulties make our goal look as if it would satisfy us (an illusion which fades when we reach it) ...'

Animate Headlines (or other things)
Important Notice: This workflow is not recommended anymore. It uses Adobe Wallaby to convert flash files to HTML. Please use Adobe Edge for a better HTML-Animation experience and better support. —Johannes
This is a detailed post for people working with InDesign on digital publications. I will explain the steps necessary to create simple animations in your digital publication like the one you see above (smooth, of course).
Currently, native InDesigns animations are not yet supported in the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite (drop10). In the last few weeks, some publications used the effect of automatic multi-state-objects or even short movies to create the illusion of real animations.
Following is the process of creating animations without going through Flash or AfterEffects.
In short:
- An InDesign document containing an animation is exported to FLA
- Adobe's Wallaby Technology Preview is used to convert this FLA to HTML5
- Editing the css stops the animation from looping
- The HTML5-file gets imported as WebView into the magazine layout
Update: Important Notice
This blog post is a bit older now. These animations will work on the iPad, but not on the Desktop Preview or the Android Viewer.
Update 29-06-2011
Google just released Swiffy, an SWF to HTML5 converter. I tried it, and swf files exported from InDesign were not supported, because they use ActionScript 3. But that may be supported in the future. For now, using Swiffy does'nt help.
In detail:
1. Prepare Page Layout
In the example above the headline gets animated. In the layout the space for the headline is preserved:
In this example a box of 500 × 220 px is reserved for the headline.
2. InDesign Document for Animation
An new InDesign document with these dimensions will contain the animated title:
Here "Fly in from left" is used on the headline and the black bars, separately. Try out other animations, Wallaby does a great job in converting them.
The duration differs, so they move in different speed. You can use InDesign's PreviewPanel to get a feeling of the movement. Note: InDesign plays the animations separately, in HTML they will be played simultaneously later.
3. Export to FLA and convert to HTML5
James Fritz vom InDesignSecrets posted a detailed explanation how to export your InDesign Animation to HTML5, but we will not use Flash to stop it from looping.
To get most accurate results with typography, use "Convert to Outlines" on text.
Use Adobe's Wallaby preview to convert the FLA file to HTML5 with css3 and javascript.
You can test your converted html animation in a modern webbrowser (use Safari, Chrome or Firefox 4).
A sidenote on files and file-structure: It might get confusing with all these files. Try to have a very distinct naming scheme for your files and stick to it!
In this case I hold the animation file (Berlin-Title-Animation.indd) in a subfolder next to my layout (anim-title_h.indd). The exported FLA file will be called exactly like the animation file: Berlin-Title-Animation.fla. When convert to HTML5 in wallaby, I choose the same HTML-filename: Berlin-Title-Animation.html.
4. Stop animation from looping
Because InDesign strips off Actionscript during flash-export, the flash file loops and so does the HTML5-animation. To stop that you need to edit the css-file generated by Wallaby (Petteri Paananen figured this out. Thank you!)
Search and replace every "infinite" with "1", so the animations will be played only once.
5. Use the animated HTML-file in WebView
The last step is to link to the HTML file as a WebView in the preserved frame from Step 1.
Use "Play on Page Load" with a very short delay. This will prevent the WebView to be loaded before the stack actually is in view. Use "Transparent Background" and disable "Allow User Interaction" if you like.
It takes a bit of an effort and you need to get to know what you can do and what is limited. But animating headlines with simple FadeIns is a new thing you can use today in your DPS!

Moderated by Rick Badie
Shortly after being elected, Gov. Nathan Deal and Georgia Chamber of Commerce officials launched the Competitive Initiative to grow the state's economy. Deal recently asked members who serve on a "competitive panel" to continue its review of state tax legislation, an advisory role he explains in today's guest column. A business owner writes that the initiative propels Georgia forward. Meanwhile, the executive director of a think tank suggests too much power is being ceded to business leaders.
Business feedback makes sense
By Nathan Deal
I work every day to bring good jobs to Georgia. That goal tops my priority list, and all state government endeavors fall under the umbrella of making Georgia a great place to live and work.
Pardon me if you've heard me say this before, but it's my aim to make Georgia the No. 1 place in the nation in which to do business. A pro-business environment is a prerequisite for a pro-jobs environment. We've seen significant progress. NBC ranks our state No. 1 in workforce development. Area Development Magazine ranks us the No. 2 best place to do business. The Tax Institute reports that Georgians bear the lowest per capita tax burden in the nation.
These positive indicators don't happen by accident. They require hard work, vision and a keen eye on our competitors.
That's why in 2011,I launched the Competitiveness Initiative in coordination with the Georgia Chamber of Commerce.
The Competitiveness Initiative brought together business and community leaders from every corner of this state and held a series of regional meetings throughout that year.
The meetings were brainstorming sessions that led to concrete policy proposals. Some suggestions, such as removing the tax on energy used in manufacturing, found their way into the 2012 tax reform legislation that I signed into law. Caterpillar and Engineered Floors cited that tax cut as one reason they built new plants near Athens and Dalton, respectively, creating more than 3,800 jobs.
The Competitiveness Initiative also played a role in reviewing the scores of tax credits in our code to consolidate and modernize our system, which had become an outdated patchwork of exemptions through the years.
These efforts have proved so productive, I decided to ask members to continue to vet new proposals for adding or removing tax credits for particular industries.
The group doesn't make policy; it makes recommendations that policymakers can accept, alter or reject. When a state is looking for ways to create new jobs and generate wealth, it makes sense to get feedback from business leaders who know firsthand what companies look for.
Beyond the nuts and bolts of improving our business climate, I see the Competitiveness Initiative as a catalyst for positive change in Georgia. Speaking to the group earlier this month, I challenged members to work with me as we continue to implement cost-saving and lifesaving reforms in our criminal justice system.
The next step will focus on helping former inmates get the job skills they will need to stay employed and out of trouble. Once we put the proper programs in place to give them training, we'll need partners in the private sector willing to give them a second chance at life.
That program symbolizes what the Competitiveness Initiative is all about: Making sure that every Georgian who has the will to work, gets the chance to work.
Nathan Deal is the governor of Georgia.
Review tax subsidy programs
By Alan Essig
Georgia gives out hundreds of millions of dollars in business tax breaks every year with little rhyme or reason. The state needs to create an unbiased and fact-based system to weigh the costs and benefits of tax incentives and exemptions. Gov. Nathan Deal's ongoing Georgia Competitiveness Initiative is not set up to meet those objective standards.
The initiative is led by about two dozen people from across the state, nearly all representing for-profit corporate interests. Their charge is to recommend ways to strengthen the business climate in Georgia. Members of the initiative met in Dalton and Tifton this month to hear presentations from industry representatives angling for state tax breaks. The members will deliver recommendations to the governor to help him choose which tax breaks to support.
It is fine for chamber members to push for tax breaks they think will strengthen the state's economy. But it is clearly a conflict when the system gives business leaders so much clout in a decision-making process that relies on playing hunches.
Georgia needs a review process based on facts and impartial analysis, not one that rests largely on the testimony of industry advocates and lobbyists. An arms-length review should answer such questions as: How many jobs will be filled by Georgians versus transplants? Will tax breaks generate new jobs, or just subsidize existing plans that would have taken place without them? And how many jobs would be lost from budget cuts required to pay for lost tax revenue?
These questions demand detailed analysis by qualified experts, not just guesswork by parties that may stand to benefit from the tax breaks they recommend.
There is a better way. Rhode Island recently passed legislation that provides a tax-break evaluation model for Georgia to adopt. Rhode Island requires reviews every three years of all tax-subsidy programs by the state's Office of Revenue Analysis. The reviews measure the benefit and cost of each subsidy, including its impact on the state's overall budget and economy. The governor's budget proposal then must make a recommendation to continue the tax break, make changes or end the program. Budget hearings in the legislature provide a forum to discuss and compare the results and costs of tax breaks alongside other types of state spending.
The Pew Center on the States says Rhode Island is leading the way for states to evaluate economic subsidies.
Georgia's tax code is past due for a thorough review. State taxpayers effectively spend nearly $300 million each year on tax credits for economic development with only anecdotal evidence of a return. Delegating authority to an unelected group of executives representing corporate interests is the wrong answer to the problem. Proposed tax breaks should be subject to accountable, transparent, fact-based examination. It is a better way for the state to do business.
Alan Essig is executive director of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute.
Initiative propels Georgia forward
By John Watson
One of the most important responsibilities for any governor is economic development,directly through their interaction with companies and indirectly through the image the state projects. Companies seek environments that are stable, supportive and with tax and regulatory environments that will not impede success. The states that can offer that combination ultimately benefit from an expanded tax base and jobs for their citizens.
Georgia has benefited from a long history of governors and elected officials who understood the impact their actions would have on our economy. That tradition has continued with Gov. Nathan Deal, who as one of his first actions announced the creation of the Georgia Competitiveness Initiative — a partnership of the public and private sectors focused on economic development that will hasten our state's recovery from the most recent recession and put programs and policies in place that will benefit our state for decades.
Gov. Deal knew the best way to learn what businesses need to create jobs was to go directly to the source. He formed a steering committee of representatives from a variety of industries and leaders of key state agencies. That team spent most of 2011 gathering input from thousands of Georgians both through surveys and public hearings held throughout the state.
The results of that initial effort have already made a positive impact. Companies are choosing to locate or expand in Georgia because the sales tax on energy used during the manufacturing process was removed. New workforce development programs have been created, and new funding sources are in place, to attract start-ups and entrepreneurs. Water supply projects have been funded, and the state has sharpened its focus on the strategic industries most likely to call Georgia home.
Those were all great steps forward. Gov. Deal knew our work was not done, so he reconvened the committee to take a closer look at the tax incentives and exemptions offered as part of the economic development process. Once again, this process has included open meetings, giving anyone an opportunity to share ideas. Recommendations will be developed over the next few months. The governor will determine which he will ask the General Assembly to support.
Issues being examined by this initiative are ones that Gov. Deal would have addressed with or without the assistance of the committee he formed or the public input that has been received. In a time people are feeling disenfranchised from their elected leaders, he invited involvement. I believe that has made this process stronger and more effective, as it has ensured meaningful results that will benefit Georgia businesses and, as a result of new jobs and investment, the families that call our state home.

If these business are considering Georgia due to the temptation of tax the odds are good they have a Plan B in case it doesn't work out for them here. However, "You don't get if you don't ask." There should be some negotiation with these businesses of interest from our cleaver economic development folks like requiring there be a percentage of in state residents working at these "new" jobs. Another common request is to ask for certain coffers, like road improvements, parks, schools, arts centers etc. In other words, negotiate a little give back in exchange for them relocating here. One other reason business DON'T like to relocate is the crime rate. Lower the crime rate and the sky is the limit for Georgia.

Two Georgias:
Rural Georgia needs to "Pull itself up by its own boot straps" and stop looking to the State and metro Atlanta for continued subsidies and hand outs to what I believe is a cultural and economic black hole. How quickly our rural neighbors forget naming I-285 around Atlanta the "Ring Around the Congo" and the "Fruit Loop" while at that same time Atlanta's gay community bought $30,000 homes in Virginia Highland which now can't be bought for less than $500,000 and the African American community fought hard to get a seat at the political table and now boasts the occupancy of the White House. If rural Georgia doesn't want to make ideological changes let it continue to slide into Alabama and be annexed to the State of the Old South.

The Governor is right to make Georgia a good place for businesses to come to and grow. However he is too focused on giving the tax payers dollars to do it. The is no accountability other than anecdotal evidence that what is given vs what is promised is ever accounted for. Infra structure, education, low crime, work ethic of labor force, traffic congestion, are all components of bringing business to Georgia. Heck if I had a business I would look closely at doing something in Georgia in order to receive the types of concessions the Governor gives out without forensic accounting or any type of accountability required of my business. I agree with the writer of the counter article that Georgia needs to become a leader in holding businesses' feet to the fire for their delivery of promises for the concessions given. Otherwise it is as MariettaMike points out in his blog, it is nothing more than transferring Georgia tax payer dollars to private businesses. As is already reported the top 1% are having their wealth grow. This is one of the primary reasons.

Regardless of the catchy phrase used to describe it, the Governor's plan is just wealth redistribution to companies that have other resources. The economic development cohort is continually being blackmailed by commercial enterprises and their cadre of negotiating/advisers in secrecy. The Governor has become confused that being business friendly equates to transferring Georgia taxpayers income taxes to private businesses. Hiding being a cloak of protection that revealing the deal made behind closed doors would harm the companies. If they want to sup at the public trough, they have a debt to the providers of that money to know how, when and where it is being spent. I encourage all to read the online posting of "Paying Taxes to the Boss." The legislature's attention has been diverted with hot button issues such as gun and abortion, while the state's treasury is being emptied by bureaucrats to a privileged few. The economic development people stroke the businesses in a manner that gives the commercial enterprises a sense of entitlement. Governor Deal has pushed closed of a billion dollars of Georgia income taxes out the door with very little accountability. BRING BACK FREE ENTERPRISE as it has been discarded by the Governor.

In last year's first-round play-in against heavily favored Archbishop McCarthy — a team composed of senior club-level players — Cardinal Gibbons battled the Mavericks for four sets before being eliminated from the postseason.
Whether the Chiefs can pull off the upset this season and reach the state tournament for the first time since 2008 will rely heavily on their outside-hitting tandem of senior Dylan Hall and sophomore Corry Short.
Hall and Short both compete for the Ocean Bay Club, but on different teams because two years separate them. Their paths to success don't mirror one another.
Anticipating the chance to play libero his freshman season, Hall began to complain about his aching back during conditioning. When he told his family members, they didn't think there was anything to worry about.
It got to the point where it was unbearable at school — he couldn't even sit at his desk — before his parents agreed to an X-ray. The scan revealed a crack, showing the same double fracture in his back that his older brother, Tyler, once sustained.
"It devastated me," said Hall, who thought his high-school career would be over. "It put me down and depressed. I had to watch the team fall in regionals when we played Archbishop McCarthy, and I knew I couldn't do anything about it."
For four months, Hall couldn't perform any physical activity while wearing a brace on his back. Doctors told him he would be 100 percent as soon as it came off, but he rushed into club ball, and it continued to hurt because his muscles were weak.
While undergoing physical therapy, his back got better. Though still not at full health, Hall makes sure to stretch before and after games so he could play the sport he loves.
"I thought, 'Why me,' " said Hall, who is also a state finalist in swimming. "This can't happen to me. I knew if I continued to strengthen it, it would get better. I knew things would get better. There would be that one time where I could play volleyball and nothing would hurt."
Short, meanwhile, played a vital role as a starter during his freshman year.
Throughout the season, Hall noticed Short becoming more consistent with his shots, trying to place rather than power through them. By the 21st game —as Hall recounts — he knew Short would have a huge impact on the team, filling in the shoes of the former outside hitter Thomas Nobles.
After all, volleyball runs in the Short family. Corry's sister, Mary Kate, and brother, Michael, competed for Gibbons. In the eighth grade, Corry grew five inches to his current height of 6-3. Mary Kate is 6-2 and Michael 6-5. They often joke about the irony of having the last name Short.
He and his siblings would play games on the front lawn after school. Aside from introducing him to the game, they also helped develop his competitive nature.
It paid off last summer when Short was recognized by USA Volleyball and selected to represent the national team in his age group.
"A lot of it has been instilled in me from my dad and family and everybody that I surround myself with," said Corry, who also captained the Gibbons junior varsity basketball team. "We're all competitors, and since I surround myself with them, it pushes me. It makes me better."
Yet despite their different styles, coach Mike Zarate believes the pair is equally adept at ball control. Even their statistics from last season are fairly similar: Hall finished with 263 kills, 141 service points, 176 digs, 32 aces and 22 blocks. Short had 242 kills, 140 service points, 145 digs, 28 aces and 20 blocks.
"They complement each other, which means they work really, really well together as a team ,and they both have very good skill level," Zarate said. "The two of them together is the best combination. I knew when they would come back next year the potential to win would be there."

Schreier, in writing for Kotaku, is a video game critic. He got some preliminary looks at the art for Dragon's Crown and expressed frank misgivings, just like Guillaume Apollinaire did of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. He grounded these misgivings in the cultural context (growing number and awareness of female gamers) in which the work of art would be received, just as Roger Ebert did of The Doom Generation. He obviously had an agenda, but so does every critic: the preference of one style over another, a sense of taste cultivated by exposure to a large roster of submissions, a desire to give voice to an Idea, etc.posted by the man of twists and turns at 9:24 AM on April 25, 2013 [4 favorites]

Ziptronix Pioneering 3D Integrated Circuit Process Technology
Founded in October 2000, Ziptronix , spun out of North Carolina's RTI International for the purpose of commercializing wafer and die bonding technology. Ziptronix has been a pioneer when it comes to 3D IC integration. Ziptronix licenses its processes for both development and production partnerships
Daniel Donabedian indicates that the company was ahead of its time when it comes to 3D processing "We were just to early he said. However, now things appear to be catching fire, we believe we have the reliable, low COO bonding solution the industry is looking for and we will be addressing that point publicly in the next few months. he concluded.
Sanders sees the market entering into a rapid growth phase and reports that lots of interest in the Ziptronix ZiBond and DBI® technologies is coming from several major foundries, IDMs and OSATS. In addition, strong motivation is also coming from CMOS image sensors manufacturers as many of them are moving to backside illumination architectures and thus require low temperature oxide bonding technology like ZiBond to make their backside imaging technology work effectively.
Ziptronix' US and foreign patent portfolio includes direct bond and 3D device, circuit, integration and packaging technologies. Enquist points out that the ZiBond process is completed at room temperature, with no residual stresses. The mechanical wafer preparation is based on a standard chemical-mechanical polish, which then enables many material combinations to be bonded directly. the resulting bond strength typically exceeds the fracture strength of the bonded bulk material.
Donabedian indicates that the company has developed a significant worldwide patent portfolio covering the basic concepts behind commercially feasible low temperature oxide bonding. Due to the broad and fundamental nature of Ziptronix patent's portfolio, he believes that any use of an oxide low temperature bonding process is highly likely to be covered by one or more of patents from the company. While there are commercial tools that support low temperature oxide bonding processes, Ziptronix has not granted, nor does it intend to grant any licenses under its IP to the manufacturers of this equipment. "Anyone running a low temperature oxide bonding process as part of their manufacturing scheme is likely to be infringing on our IP he said.
Technology details
The DBI® process has had somewhat of a shroud of mystery around it. "Up to now we have restricted the release of DBI® process details to select collaborators in an early adopter evaluation program...due to the success of these evaluations we will be making a more public release this fall....at the RTI 3D Conference in Burlingame CA in November and the MRS meeting in Boston this December you will be seeing additional process and materials details on DBI®. Enquist noted.
Ziptronix operates an in-house foundry dedicated to process verification and prototyping for customers. Sanders indicates that Our full clean room fab allows us to provide a full range of 3D IC fabrication, wafer level packaging, and testing services aimed at supporting process development and prototyping activities of our customers. By taking advantage of our prototyping services, customers can rapidly validate designs and accelerate the path to qualification and volume production. To further expedite production, Ziptronix' prototyping facility is complemented by volume production support through third party, merchant foundry partners.
3D IC Alliance
http://3D-IC.org )
Sanders concludes: Ziptronix provides the lowest COO, synergistic and manufacturable 3D integration wafer bonding solution including embedded electrical interconnect on the market today. Our technology is protected by a series of patents and applications which provide additional value for our licensees in their specific applications and /or markets. In certain applications, low temperature oxide covalent bonding is the only way to significantly impact the product roadmap allowing companies to leapfrog competitors and return significant value to shareholders. Bottom line is that tomorrow is here today regarding 3D integration and Ziptronix is leading the way in W2W and C2W bonding.
