ESCONDIDO, Calif. - Griffin O'Neal, son of actor Ryan O'Neal, was hospitalized briefly Tuesday after a head-on traffic collision in Escondido, hospital officials said.
O'Neal was driving alone near 15500 block of San Pasqual Road around 1 p.m. when his car veered into the path of a van traveling in the opposite direction, San Diego police said.
San Diego firefighters rescued one person trapped inside a vehicle within 10 minutes of arriving, police said. It was unknown if the trapped victim was O'Neal.
O'Neal was taken by ambulance to Palomar Medical Center, along with the driver of the van. He was treated for moderate injuries and release, according to a hospital spokesperson. The other driver suffered minor injuries.
Investigators said alcohol or drugs were possible factors in the crash. No charges were immediately filed in connection with the incident, police said.
O'Neal, whose sister is actress Tatum O'Neal, was found guilty of reckless boating and sentenced to community service for a 1986 accident that killed Gian-Carlo Coppola, son of film director Francis Ford Coppola.
The 46-year-old actor has appeared in several films, including "April Fool's Day," "Assault of the Killer Bimbos" and "Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go to College." In the past, he has publicly discussed his family's tumultuous life, including his father's difficult marriage with his stepmother, the late icon Farrah Fawcett.
Redmond O'Neal, 26, another son of O'Neal's ran into trouble on Tuesday. He was taken into custody after police said he ran a red light and allegedly found heroin in his car.

You might say Mike Stamp has a DIY attitude. "I've always wanted to be self-sufficient," says the Decatur, Mich., corn and soybean farmer. "If we need to build something, we can make whatever we need to make. We can do whatever we need to do."
This motivation has driven innovation and growth for Stamp, which is an important part of why he was chosen as a 2012 Top Producer of the Year finalist.
His accomplishments have literally altered the Decatur skyline, with a set of bins that can collectively hold 4.2 million bushels of grain. He ships the vast majority of that grain via rail, and has laid nearly 10,000 feet of track to connect his farm to the main line. With more than 43,000 acres, he employs 78 people during peak season.
Not bad for someone who's only been farming for 16 years.
Stamp started with just $1,000 left in the bank after he purchased 240 acres and began custom farming on several hundred more acres. Growth happened sporadically but steadily from there. This year, more than $70 million worth of grain is expected to move through his operation.
Hidden Profits. The purchase of Northstar Grain LLC in 2007 really put things in motion. Upon buying the company, Stamp set about boosting bin capacity from 150,000 bu. to 400,000 bu. For Stamp, it was merely a strategic move to allow him to store more of his grain. But a hidden asset soon revealed itself. The remnants of an old railroad spur, nearly forgotten and half-covered in weeds, lay directly behind the mill.
"None of it was functional," Stamp says. "It was there, but we would have to rebuild all of it."
A rebuild would be costly—more than $4 million, in fact—but Stamp saw an opportunity others might have written off.
"I'm always looking at the bigger picture," he says. "What are the hidden costs and profits? The rail gives us a 20¢ to 40¢ margin advantage, and that pays back the initial cost pretty quickly."
The move was just one of many that has kept Stamp on good terms with his bankers. His bankers balked initially at the expense of Northstar and the rail spur expansion, so Stamp, true to his DIY nature, began the project using his own capital. "We had to just build part of it with our own money to show the banks the returns—it was a little risky, but it paid off," he says.

More than a dozen people are behind bars after Caddo-Shreveport Narcotics agents conducted a drug bust operation.
Officials say they executed a search warrant for a home in the 3000 block of Jackson Street on August 22nd. As a result, 24-year-old GeColby Glasper was arrested for allegedly possessing cocaine and suspected marijuana. Glasper was charged with possession of drugs and intent to distribute.
This led to further investigation by narcotics agents who discovered the home was a high drug trafficking location. Agents say they searched the home for a second time and found 3.6 grams of cocaine and $168.00 in cash.
Twelve more people were arrested and charged with possession of cocaine and booked into the Shreveport City Jail:

Where Everyone Can't Be a Winner
I wish everyone could win my Cootchie Contests, because yesterday's commenters gave me lots of belly laughs. Your company brightened a hectic day.
We have two categories of winner: those who got really close to the mark without looking around online for the answer, and those who found the item online with the magic of Google. Because this item is a rather obscure architectural doo-dad produced and sold primarily in Japan, finding it on Google deserves some reward.
The winners who got close to the mark:
The winners who Googled:
- Kenneth Andrews
- Carnell
The item is from a Japanese series of architectural model accessories. Click here for a link, generously provided yesterday by Carnell. The whole site is worth a look. The dinosaur series is quite funny to me for some reason.
Now, for my conundrum. I only have two of the antlered ladies to give away. For the other winners, I have a lovely wood cut Finnish snowflake ornament.
Dear Readers, please help me assign the, um, booty. Who should get the antlered lady? The snowflake? Please help me decide by weighing in with your choice recipients in a comment.
And, for the winners, please message me with your mailing address so that I may get these out to you. I will mail them during the first week of the new year, and may they bring luck for all of 2013.
This post is part of the series Roll Out the Holly, about the stories Christmas ornaments can conjure. Click here to read the series from the beginning.
Definitely Fiona and Ted get the lovely antlered lady with their excellent guesses. The Google Twins, aka Cyber Ninja and Keyboard Rascal, should get a photo copy of a small snowflake for using their cyborg skills so unfairly to us poor normal people.December 23, 2012
No, no, no!!! I want an antlered woman! I worked hard on that! I went through a lot of time, effort and expense … well, ok, no expense, but a lot of time and effort to find out what it was, research it and come up with the exact link!
What kind of society would this be if all of that hard work and dedication resulted in a mere snowflake?!?December 23, 2012
I agree with Lou on this one!December 23, 2012
I, too, am with Lou. Sorry, Carnall….there's other rewards for Googling; mostly just the great fun of learning "stuff!" :)December 23, 2012

In June 2013, when Facebook announced the launch of hashtags in the News Feed, it made the promise of Trending Topics as well. They are now live! On Facebook's blog they say, "Trending shows you the popular topics and hashtags that are being talked about on Facebook. You'll see stories from people and Pages who've shared them with you or have shared them as Public. From the right side of your homepage, click a topic that's trending to see what people are saying about it."
In what seems to be a full spread release, Facebook launched trending topics on both the mobile app and the desktop experience. The trends appear above posts with the topics on the mobile feed, and on the right sidebar on the desktop.
When you click on these, you will get all the relevant post in one stream for that topic.
This has been a long time coming considering Twitter, Google Plus and Pinterest have all had some sort of "trending" feature at an early start. The notion is that it helps content discovery and unites micro-communities. What are you thoughts on the new feature for Facebook?

UK Space Research Goes Online
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Members of the public will get the chance to question the world's leading space scientists with the launch this month of an interactive website set up by Lancaster University.
The site is the idea of Dr Jim Wild of the Department of Communication Systems at InfoLab21 who wants to showcase the UK's record of world class space research.
The www.sunearthplan.net website is aimed at people interested in finding out more about research into the solar system. Anyone will be able to post questions on the website for scientists to answer.
Dr Wild said: "Whether using satellites to study the heart of the sun or the sizzling radiation found in Saturn's magnetic field or ground-based cameras and radars to probe the northern lights high over the arctic circle, UK scientists are at the forefront of solar, solar-terrestrial and solar planetary science. The www.sunearthplan.net website will showcase this exciting science and provide a forum for visitors to question the scientists directly."
The launch is timed to coincide with the launch of the UN's International Heliophysical Year, when scientists and engineers from all 191 member states take part in an international campaign to promote the space and earth sciences.
Dr Wild said: "The UK has an enviable record in space research and a significant number of UK scientists work on programmes operated by NASA, the European Space Agency and the Chinese National Space Administration. Lancaster University has a strong record of being a part of this and I wanted to showcase what we do here in the UK.
"It's important because space research leads to developments which affect us all like nuclear fusion from understanding the power source of the Sun. There are even plans to send astronauts back to the moon and to Mars but we need to understand much more about space if we are to do that successfully."
The website project is funded by the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council. Other organisations contributing to the website include the British Antarctic Survey, Imperial College and University College, London, and the universities of Leicester, Bath, Southampton, Sheffield and Aberystwyth.

What Was Donald Sterling Like As a Boss? Ask the South Dakota Native Who Played For Him
A few years before Mike Miller came along, South Dakota's biggest connection to the NBA was former Rapid City Stevens standout Eric Piatkowski, who went from the Black Hills to the University of Nebraska to a 14-year career in the pros – nine of which with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Piatkowski didn't just play for Donald Sterling's team, he played more games in a Clippers uniform than any one else in the history of the franchise – 616 games in all.
In a story by Tom Shatel of the Omaha-World Herald, Piatkowski says while he didn't know Sterling well, he wasn't surprised at the racist comments attributed to the owner of his former team:
That sounded like him. He's an older guy, and he always looked down on people around him. We (players) were pawns for him. Another investment.
Piatkowski, who lives in Omaha these days, was drafted by Indiana in 1994 and then traded that day to the Clippers, played for the soon-to-be ex-owner of the team until 2003, when he was traded to the Golden State Warriors.
He says he never personally heard Sterling say anything racist, but did quickly find out frugal his new employer was:
One day after I first got there, our trainer pulled me aside and said, 'You want to know how cheap this guy is?' The trainer said (Sterling) pulled him aside in the training room last year and wanted to know what the biggest expense was for.
The trainer told him it was tape and pre-wrap.
He said, 'Do you really need that much tape?' "
The trainer said, 'Well, there are 82 games.'
And Sterling said, 'Is there any way you could reuse it?' The trainer just said, 'I'll let you know.'
That's Donald Sterling.
The guy has a billion dollars and he wants to reuse tape.
As for Sterling being forced by the NBA to give up the Clippers, Piatkowski said he would be surprised if his former boss doesn't use all of that money he saved on tape to fight the league in court.
Piatkowski led Stevens to the 1989 'AA' Championship and still ranks in the Top Five in 'AA' scoring in South Dakota history.

Kaipo Jaquias © ISA / Parkin
Surf News, 19 July, 2012 : Kaipo ripping through the rounds again today at 845am comboing Garcia! While the early days of the event provided opportunity for old friends to connect, waves to be shared and jitters to be worked out, on Day 3, the business end of the Nicaragua ISA World Masters Surfing Championship was at hand. Repechage heats were on the schedule, which meant eliminations were imminent. The ocean continued to produce high-quality waves with offshore winds throughout the day. to go live GO HERE
Just one surfer was eliminated yesterday on Day 2, but 17 more would be joining him today as spectators for the duration of the event at Colorado Beach at Hacienda Iguana.
"Being in the Repechage rounds is not easy, because it's a life or death situation – you don't have any more chances. If you lose you go home, that's it," explained Magoo de la Rosa (PER), a former ISA Gold Medalist who found himself surfing for his survival on Tuesday afternoon. He advanced in his Kahunas (over-45) Repechage heat.
In Round 2 of the Main Event in the Men's Grand Masters (over-40), Sebastian Galindo (ARG) was up against a formidable draw: Hans Hagen (USA), German Aguirre (PER) and four-time ISA Gold Medalist Juan Ashton (PUR). Galindo's regular early morning and late afternoon practice sessions appeared to pay off as he advanced in first place with a two-wave score of 14.5
"I worked really hard for this competition. I've been waking up early to surf every morning before the contest, and that gave me some help to pick the waves with the open faces; those waves were really the key to getting first place," Gallindo said. "The ISA made the effort of bringing us together and the Argentinean team was very happy to be here. It's always a pleasure to compete in these events, because in the water you want to win, but out of the water you feel an incomparable vibe."
The Americans are the defending Team Gold Medalists and have made a strong showing in the early heats, letting the surfing world know that they plan to fight to retain their title.
"We got Gold last year and we won't accept anything less – we are taking Gold again," said a confident Dean Randazzo, after a dominating performance in his Grand Masters heat, winning with a score of 14.67. "I love the camaraderie of the ISA events. You get to see a lot of old friends, guys that I competed against on the ASP World Tour, like Sunny Garcia and Shea Lopez. A lot of big names down here. And it's great getting to meet the guys from different countries that you wouldn't otherwise ever meet."
Though the majority of the competitors in the event still compete on a regular basis, the ISA World Masters is a chance to compete on a bigger stage with vastly stronger competition. It's also an opportunity to rekindle old rivalries and old friendships.
Kaipo Jaquias recalls countless heat battles with the likes of Brazil's Jojo de Olivenca and Armando Daltro and even his own teammate, Sunny Garcia. For a guy who stepped away from competitive surfing almost two decades ago, he's proving that he never lost his talent. On Day 3 he won his fourth consecutive heat of the event, with a commanding performance in the Grand Masters, with a winning score of 15.44, the highest of the day.
"For all of [the Hawaiians] it's our first time coming [to Nicaragua], so we all have the same energy and are trying to make it feel like home," Jaquias said. "In Hawaii, everyone is pretty close, especially in times like this. All of the teams are showing the spirit of their country, and I think that's what good about this event. You love the sport, but you're also representing home, which really matters."
Action resumes tomorrow, July 18, with several Repechage rounds. In total, 58 more competitors will be eliminated.
The world-class break at Colorado Beach at Hacienda Iguana has lived up to its reputation. Countless competitors are already discussing return trips for after the event.

Justice Sotomayor spoke last night at Harold Washington Library Center (HWLC) as part the book tour for her biography, "My Beloved World" . She is the first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court. Her book tells the story of her rise from a tenement to her entry into service as a federal judge in 1992. Chicago Mayor Emanuel introduced her to a sold-out crowd in the Winter Garden of the HWLC.
If you were unable to attend her presentation, the Chicago Public Library will probably make the audio of her remarks available online soon. But until then, there is an hour plus interview with Justice Sotomayor from Tuesday Jan. 29, available online for listening and /or downloading from the public radio web site of KPCC in Los Angeles. The interview was conducted by Patt Morrison who is a longtime reporter and columnist for the Los Angeles Times and a regular commentator on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition".

Recently I found a combination of topicals that have been really effective for me. My oily skin is both a blessing and a curse, curse: acne, blessing: it seems to make me practically invulnerable to dryness/irritation. My current regimen involves salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and alpha hydroxy acid; I can only suggest this regimen for those with fairly tough skin. I have never been so clear (I am 23). Anyway, I don't want to go into too many details about it here since this is the diet section of the boards, I intend to post details of my regimen soon in the "My regimen" area; let me know if you are interested. In my experience over the last few years I have found that topicals are the only thing that really work, that and some prescriptions. All of that diet stuff, doesn't seem to do a thing.

He cut me off and said, "Ohhhhh Leo's diet, you fell for that bullshit too? Heck, he's got it all wrong, what you need is camel's milk." He still pressed charges and now I am posting this message from the State Penetentary, and yes the stress has caused breakouts.
I kid,
Posted 12 August 2004 - 01:12 PM
Camels milk aye!!
Posted 12 August 2004 - 03:07 PM
He he anyway, no you don't get an actual book, all you get is this over 200page E book. I still heaven't read through it all, but I went back to it a couple of months ago and read more of it and realized that I could have saved myself several hours of research had I just finised reading his book. The stuff he has would take you several hundred hours to obtain, confirm,etc. So I understand why he charges, but I don't believe it should be THAT much.
If he hasn't mentioned androgens & diet, then his updated website gave me that false impression. Although he did mention androgens to some extent when he mentioned Beta-Sitosterol (thanks leo). Does he talk about the role insulin plays?

On a side note I went to their forums again and there are ppl on is treatment plan and they said it's been a year since they started with llittle success, but remain optimistic for the results they are looking for. Seems odd to me, but hey to each their own.
mmmm cliffnotes,
Posted 12 August 2004 - 04:39 PM
Thanks it's interesting that he still hasn't connected the fact that insulin production boosts androgen production. His diet isn't the main focus, is it? He mainly pushes for detoxing & cleansing and mentions how you should go about eating certain food for proper metabolism, right?
Posted 12 August 2004 - 04:47 PM
Posted 13 August 2004 - 01:40 PM
|Well, I think he definetly pushes for the cleansing processes, but at the same time the main thing I get from his babbling is supplementation and EFA's. I mean I agree supplementing EFA's can only help your body, but they only do so much.
Indeed I am of the same mind. Similar to what Denise says, if there is something very wrong with your liver, supplements will only take you so far before they cease to work, if they effective at all.
I bought Leos book to see what he had to say about diet and supplements and at the time, I was already taking Avandia and Spironolactone and I still wasn't clear. After I read most of his book, I was thinking I would have to spend about $300 a month just so I could take 30 - 40 pills to get me clear. I couldn't afford that, so 2 summers ago, I took the plunge...
|As for diet, I dont think he stresses it as a big factor for acne, which I agree with, but however if you were to go by his suggestions you can't eat very much. What do you think about insulin and how it is affected by food? Do you think there is a link between what we eat and insulin? I mean I have heard all the refined sugars, carbs, and all that hooplah. I am interested in what your views are on insulin production.
Hmm...from what I recall, he suggests that you stay away from all dairy, trans fats, and added sugar. Heââ¬â¢s of the same belief of Sadcaroline and many others about not drinking while eating. Otherwise he lets you eat anything else, according to itââ¬â¢s natural season, as long as it has been sprouted or fermented (& is organic) right?
Perhaps he has updated it since then. Does his version of the Hypoglycemic Index only discuss its production of fats? What food categories does he tell you not to eat now?
I agree with the majority of what his book says, but thereââ¬â¢s some areas that arenââ¬â¢t thorough enough and hopefully heââ¬â¢s improved in that respect. As for what I think about Insulin and itââ¬â¢s role, well some people here may think that Iââ¬â¢m the ââ¬Åposter childââ¬? for the Insulin-Androgen-Acne connection. http://www.acne.org/...showtopic=26936
|Also on a side note how is your complextion? You seem to be quite knowledgable. I'd like to hear what you have to say about all this.
My complexion is currently 99% clear, less oil, and the smallest pores Iââ¬â¢ve ever known. I know what I need to avoid or eat more of, but itââ¬â¢s not always feasible. As such, Iââ¬â¢m looking into other supplements to see if itââ¬â¢s possible that I can kick this last 1% that way. In the mean time, I am still working on making my diet healthier, but I also believe that for some people symptoms can be so stubborn that they may need Detox/Cleansings/Flushes, Supplements, and/or possibly even a Prescription to help overcome ALL of their symptoms. Although, Iââ¬â¢ve met and worked with many people on these boards that have eliminated similar, or more foods than I, and achieved 100% clear skin; so I donââ¬â¢t doubt that it is possible through diet alone.
Bye for now ;-)

So @Region 7 AAA that weak schedule didn't prepare your team for region play huh????…. So how many rushing yards did y'all have this game???? Can we scratch y'all out our side of the bracket or will y'all beat Buford, West Hall and Banks Co. ???? I need more than just a score man, because y'all was such a dominating team early…..
October 18th, 2013
11:49 pm
SoW… don't even start you piece of sh!t troll. I really wish I could meet you. You'd be worth going to jail over. White County had an answer for everything North Hall threw at them tonight. Their defense was very stingy, and yeah. Go ahead and scratch NH out of that quadrant because White County will be there instead.
October 18th, 2013
11:51 pm
And learn how to properly type, for God's sake. It's like I'm reading swamp water jibberish every time you post.
October 19th, 2013
12:11 am
I might don't know how too properly type but I don't fake thug on the internet (Like he really wants to see me in a dark alley… LMAO) I do think I know football because I did predict this outcome based on NTH never being tested during their non-region schedule…. Also don't be mad maybe y'all will bounce back 3 more games left…
October 19th, 2013
12:20 am
October 19th, 2013
12:37 am
I like how you say they weren't tested. That is like slapping Chestatee and Jefferson in the face there buddy. They are a combined 11-3 this season and both look to make deep runs. You're so biased.
October 19th, 2013
12:39 am
And you didn't predict this outcome. Not once, on any comment board did I see where you predicted a North Hall loss tonight. You link me to it and I'll kiss your bare ass.
October 19th, 2013
2:33 am
Just wish that I can see some competitive games,all seems to be blow-outs. Where are the defense? Are there any defensive minded coaches out there, I'm a true believer defenses win championships.
October 19th, 2013
9:32 am
So @Region 7 AAA an unranked Chestatee team who can't even break into the AJC top 12 or a Jefferson team who got hot with a star Qb (Is he QB still there) By next year Jefferson will disappear back to the shadows… I predicted that when NTH gets into its first fight y'all wouldn't know how to react because who still run the ball while down by 14 with one minute left….
@ron Maybe 10 years ago but now Offense wins..
@CanesFan Do you think your schedule will have Cartersville prepared to beat Buford????
October 19th, 2013
11:14 am
The only thing that will hamper high powered offenses is the cold late October, November weather until the championships rounds moves to the Georgia Dome.
I hear you "Son of WACO", that may be WACO's undoing if they have to travel north in early November.
October 19th, 2013
11:47 am
@ron you keep saying north teams like Waco haven't been beating north teams since the 90's…Most of the high powered offense in GA run and throw the ball good,so I don't see how cold weather will affect them… It sure didn't us last year in the playoffs
October 19th, 2013
12:18 pm
I rest my case SoW. You're not even worth arguing with anymore. It's pointless to feed a troll. And to answer your original question. North Hall went for 359 yards last night, had two 100+ yard rushers and also had 5 failed 4th down conversions, three of which were in the redzone. North Hall got whipped, plain and simple. White County really brought a heck of a game plan. The least you could do is say good game instead of tossing out the trash you originally did. Where is your class?
October 19th, 2013
12:30 pm
And just because a team hasn't broken the rankings doesn't mean they are automatically terrible. There were plenty of upsets on ranked teams last night, coming from teams not ranked at all. I seriously doubt you believed that a couple seasons back when Waco only spent one week ranked all season. And as far as the run the ball being down 14 comment, don't complain to me about it. It pisses me off, and plenty other people at North Hall as well. He did the same thing at the Dome back in 07 when we were down to Cairo. Same thing last season vs St Pius and whats sad is that North Hall has a pretty good passing game that rarely gets a shot. He likes to call that wishbone a triple option. Hard to believe that when 95% of the plays are up the middle.
October 19th, 2013
1:17 pm
"Son of Waco" refresh my memory, I can only remember your defeat at the hands of St. Pius in the ATL area last year, 2012. I can certainly remember the 2011 playoffs when WACO traveled to Henry County to play the local school with temperatures hovering in the teens, WACO went down in defeat. Cold weather has a determination in the outcome of a game, whoever has the heart can grind out the game and eek out a victory in subversive elements.Does WACO have the heart to fight the elements and gain a victory if the elements present themselves.
October 19th, 2013
1:40 pm
@Region 7 AAA one thing you don't get is WACO is 5 years removed from a heavy run offense.. I have seen that movie before you know how many Championships we missed out on in the early 2000's because we didn't want to pass the ball and our star RB got hurt at the end of the regular season…2003 comes to my mind because LaGrange had that top LB and he killed us most of the night and we had the better team but had nothing to space them out so we could score more points…
October 19th, 2013
1:47 pm
@ron 2011 our team wasn't that great we lost every big game that year so they was just the better team.. Had nothing to do with the weather and also we was going from a run heavy team to spread back then, so everything was new to our players… Also if you watched that St Pius game you would know weather had nothing to do with the game they came up with a big stop at the end and won…
October 19th, 2013
1:49 pm
@WACO. It's a wait and see effort with the Canes and by the way it is a wait and see with all the top ranked teams. We will be as prepared as any team that can challenge the best teams in AAA. It is a matter of mistake free football against any team in the top 10. So, it really doesnt matter that you are claiming that our reagion is weak or if it is that somehow we have no way beating any team in the top ten. That just isn't logical and certainlly isn't football. Like I have said before, Buford can be beat by any of the top teams in AAA , but it will have to be a combination of mistake free football, turnover ratio, coaching style and who will bring the A game. Actually I can see Canes and WACO making it to the DOME. Now, you need to understand that Adairsville and mainly Ringgold are good teams; not great but teams that will challange us and some of the teams in AAA out of our reagion as well. I would also say that the CANES would blow out many of the same teams in other regions as we have in region 5. Dude, we shall see; we shall see!!! GO CANES!!!! #CANESNATION!!!!!!!!!
October 19th, 2013
2:00 pm
@ SoW …I'm glad you understand the frustration that comes from North Hall's fans then. Hah. I can't go and say we missed out on championships or anything like that but had we of opened up a passing game back in 07, we probably would have beaten Cairo instead of them stuffing us in the 2nd half like they did. Bob Christmas is a good coach, absolutely one of the best but I think he has hit his peak as to what he can do at North Hall. There are rumors of him leaving since all his sons graduated and are now off in college or beyond. But who knows.
October 19th, 2013
2:13 pm
@ WACO. Will your schedule prepare your team against Buford? You all have the same type of wins over your region opponents as well; so does that mean that your team isn't as good because of the blow outs??? Like they say on the show; C'MON MAN!! You need to stop dude; really!
October 19th, 2013
4:13 pm
@Canes Fan… there isn't a schedule in the state that will prepare a team for Buford. Waco is an awesome team but at the end of the day, I still pick Buford to win it all.
October 19th, 2013
4:33 pm
"Son of WACO" you sure this isn't your website? For some reason you're very popular. The AJC needs to talk to you about freelancing or being an advisor/consultant for high school football/basketball.
October 19th, 2013
5:02 pm
@CanesFan yes our schedule is ranked in the top 5 in AAA it speaks for itself but your answer shows that you know your schedule is weak as hell. So your team can't be judge correctly until the 2nd round of the playoffs….I asked a Cartersville fan about Buford because you will have to face them before Waco does but hey nobody but me is willing to ask the hard questions in here… I'll be the bad guy…
@Region 7 AAA Fans got to join the booster club and voice their opinion on being a more open offense because in my opinion them types of offense unless backed by a great defense are out of date..
October 19th, 2013
6:45 pm
@SoW… A great defense is something that North Hall has been known to have. That is one reason the Wing-T worked for 10 years, and now this Wishbone.
October 20th, 2013
2:33 pm
@WACO You just refuse to give CVille any credit. I will continue to say that top rated teams can be beat; period. Just like what happend in the ACC and SEC last night. So YOU dont give even your own team a chance against BUFORD? That's not logical. I simply am saying that BUFORD can be beat, not that it will be easy.
October 20th, 2013
10:46 pm
@ron I know if you watched Monday night football you saw WACO owns Josh Gordy on the Colts….But he's not a star so I guess to you it don't matter………
@Canes when did I say WACO was afraid of Buford????
October 21st, 2013
8:09 am
Hey AJC. I know you really just focus on two schools on your articles (SPX and Buford), but could you at least get the records of the teams correct? BT is NOT 3-3 but 4-3. I doubt you would ever make this mistake with the lads from SPX or Buford. If it will help you, let me count them out for you.
Westminster, Woodward, White County and Towers.
October 21st, 2013
11:23 am
Son of WACO I don't watch Sunday, Monday nor Thursday nights NFL football. I'd rather watch a movie for the 20th or 30th time, or surf the internet. The NFL is saturating itself, I hear they are thinking of adding a second game on Thursday nights.

Keep track of all the latest news and events on developer tools and technologies you care about
The Jist: Entity Framework 4.1 is out now and you can download it here.
Those of you that read Scott Hanslemans blog or listen to Hanselminutes (if you don't you should) will know that Scott was less than pleased with the name "Microsoft ADO.NET Entity Framework Feature CTP4" and suggested that perhaps it should be called EF Magic Unicorn Edition. Some teams might have got a little insulted, but not the EF team. They took the feedback in good sprit and even had the following wallpaper put together, it shows that the team have a sense of humour; which I always think is a required attribute of a good software developer.
Having a healthy sense of humour was certainly useful when dealing with some of the older versions of EF, because often you had to jump through so many hoops it felt like someone was having a laugh. I recall working on a large project 2 years ago and would get so frustrated with EF when working with complicated models. It was far too much work to get EF to play nicely with your existing classes, and to avoid coupling we ended up writing tons and tons of what seemed like unnecessary code. It was also confused by the fact that Linq to SQL seemed to do very similar things but in a very different way... and to be honest a much simpler way.
Fast forward a few years and looking at EF 4.1 it seems like many of these initial issues have now been solved. We now have POCO support, you can do code first and best of all it's now very clear that EF is the recommended solution for DataAccess in .net. I think that last point is really important. I would often face criticism from managers in our team which would see how much time we were spending on EF and complain that we should be using Linq to SQL. Having a clear message from Microsoft that EF is the right technology would have helped so much in those days.
If you were burnt a little by the original EF and it put you off, now is the time to take another look, it really is in a different league.
If you want to learn more about EF I'd recommend these 2 resources:
You can download EF and learn more about it here.
Unless you are using WCF RIA services.....

Here are some additional quotes that didn't make it into my story tonight ...
Here are some additional quotes that didn't make it into my story tonight ...
Kobe Bryant on the Lakers' stacked starting five: "We're playing extremely well. It is pretty effortless for us." Chuck Hayes on going up against the twin towers in Pau and Dwight: "They're like the Avengers out there. They're huge." Dwight Howard on his performance: "I think I was very active on both ends of the floor … Other than that, I was a little rusty. Offensively I'm just trying to get my timing back. Defensively I'm just trying to be there for my teammates. I think we're going to be a good team this year. I think we're going to be good." Mike Brown on where the Lakers' roster stands (CDR, Goudelock, DJO, Morris and Somogyi were all DNPs): "We know that we have to cut down still. I think we got 18 guys. I don't even know when the cut date is, but it's something that we got to keep talking about."

The American Graffiti movie about the cruising baby-boom generation set in 1962 seemed like the story of my life. (cruising had a different definition back then). When the movie came out in 1973, I was working at night on KISD-AM radio (now KWSN 1230) giving dedications and eating popsicles.
My first car was a 1931 Model A Victoria with a 350 horse 392-Hemi engine. Cruising the "loop" in Sioux Falls was my high school life. In 1962 you could fill your tank for five bucks and I swear you could spot the chrome ring around the red light on top of the police car from two blocks away at night. The Sioux Falls Police actually had a hopped up 1956 Ford squad car with an "Interceptor" engine to try to keep up with us. It may seem funny to today's teens but back then the police had to follow you for a few blocks to validate you were speeding. I can say it today because of the statute of limitations that we had a quarter mile drag strip marked-out on Interstate 229 just west of the Minnesota Avenue on-ramp (until Thunder Valley opened up near Marion, SD). You would see us at the gas station at 33rd and Minnesota lowering the air pressure in our back tires for a better grip. Also hard to believe today is that there was hardly any traffic on I-229 at night.There were only 90,000 people in all of Minnehaha County in 1970. The main loop was up and down Minnesota Avenue from the Barrel Drive-In or the A&W Root Beer stand across the street and west on 12th to Bob's Drive-In.
KISD-AM was the major Rock N Roll station in the 60's (until Lord Douglas came to KELO-AM at night).I would broadcast from our curbside studio window on Main Street across from the North Western Bank on Main and 8th (the bank with the famous neon KELO Weather Ball). We would cruise listening to Dick Bionde on WLS, Chicago, and could sometimes catch the Wolfman on K double A Y,Little Rock, or KOMA in Omaha. We could only get those stations at night with our AM radio antennas pushed all the way up.
KISD-AM brought the Wolfman in to promote change of the Limelight live entertainment bar into Nite City Disco. We paid around $2,000 for his one night appearance (about $15,000 in today's money). TheWolfman came into the station and asked me which pot controlled the microphone and turntables and instantly proceeded to do a two hour live show.
The Wolfman's real name is Bob Smith...REALLY IT IS. He was a super great guy.About two in the morning at the 24 hour Nickel Plate restaurant downtown (there were two Nickel Plates back then), the Wolfman was chomping burgers with me and Miss South Dakota, Ginger Thompson. Ginger was actually the daughter of the original owner of KISD-AM.The Wolfman was talking about how some Arabs were going to fund a TV show for him. Ginger had thatdeer-in-the-headlightslook so I stayed until we all went home. She thanked me recently for that. The Midnight Special later became the Wolfman Jack Midnight Special and a Canadian produced "The Wolfman Jack Show" tv episodes came a couple years later.
In retrospect, the Wolfman was flying from New York to Los Angeles every week for radio shows on both coasts plus the Midnight Special TV show. He also had a studio in hisBelvidere, North Carolina hometo be able to be with his family a bit more. I also played a two hour weekly produced Wolfman Jack radio show every weekend when I was with Armed Forces Radio in Guam (1971-1973). Wolfman loved being a DJ with all his heart...it gave out when he was only 57.

PLEASE NOTE: Mayor 1% has canceled his UIC appearance. More info soon.
Occupy Rahm! Defend the Future of Chicago's 99%!
Friday 12/2 ~ UIC Student Center, 750 S. Halsted
11am - 2pm
UIC has invited 'Mayor 1%' Emanuel to discuss the "Future of Chicago"
We think Chicago deserves a future FOR the 99%--not one that destroys us.
Don't let Rahm get away with forcing Chicago's workers and students pay the brunt of the economic crisis, while corporations get a free pass.
Stand in solidarity with Occupy Chicago and Occupy UIC to put forward a different view of our future--one that prioritizes human needs, not corporate greed!
Public Services:
* Rahm pushed through a budget that destroys public services -- shortening library hours, laying off 200 service employees, privatizing critical public health clinics, and closing 6 out of 12 mental health clinics in underserved communities.
* Rahm will soon announce the closure of public schools, which will likely be replaced by charter schools.
* The City of Chicago is also waging war on our community college system, trying to bust faculty unions and paving the way for profit-driven technical schools.
Civil Liberties:
* Rahm is refusing to drop the charges for over 300 peaceful Occupy Chicago protesters who were attempting to establish an encampment to call attention to their grievances.
* Rahm is dragging his feet on allowing permitted demonstrations against the NATO and G8 meetings in Chicago in May.
Corporate Tax Breaks:
* Rahm is trying to pass a city ordinance that will cut taxes even further for 2,700 Chicago corporations, which will cost the City millions.
* Chicago-based corporations Navastar, Bayer, Boeing, and others pay $0 in income-tax

Moderated by Rick Badie
Gov. Nathan Deal and other governors want the EPA to waive requirements that a certain percentage of the nation's energy comes from renewable fuels, notably corn for ethanol production. Why? Poultry and livestock farmers are paying higher prices for corn feed due to the drought. The debate: Should the nation's corn crop, given the current market, be used to produce food or fuel?
By Mike Giles
The perfect storm that poultry and livestock producers have feared since the federal ethanol mandate was implemented in 2005 has arrived. The two elements of this storm are the Renewable Fuel Standard, which now devotes more corn to our gas tanks than to poultry, beef, dairy and pork combined, coupled with perhaps the worst U.S. drought since the 1930s.
For decades, the poultry industry has experienced up and down financial cycles. That is the nature of the poultry business, which contributes more than $20 billion annually to Georgia's economy. Poultry industry leaders endured these times and built strong businesses without federal farm subsidies in an extremely competitive free-market environment.
Now poultry and livestock producers face the consequences of a drought of historical proportions while the federal government's ethanol mandate, not market conditions, dictates how much corn is used for ethanol production. The Renewable Fuel Standard essentially mandates that private businesses blend a certain amount of ethanol into our nation's fuel supply. It is no wonder that the amount of corn used for ethanol has increased 240 percent since the Renewable Fuel Standard was enacted by Congress in 2005.
While we believe the federal government's ethanol policy is misguided, Congress was correct to enact into law a relief valve that allows for the mandate to be adjusted during a time of crisis. The waiver option was included because Congress foresaw that a time could come when the mandate might cause severe harm to the economy of a state, a region or the United States. It was this type of harm that Gov. Nathan Deal and seven other governors highlighted when they recently asked the Environmental Protection Agency to adjust the Renewable Fuel Standard for ethanol.
The severe economic harm we are talking about is not hypothetical or a warning of things to come. According to the University of Georgia, the state's poultry producers spend an extra $1.4 million per day on corn since the drought took hold of the nation's corn belt. Meanwhile, the Renewable Fuel Standard remains in force; each report released by USDA points towards an even more severe corn shortage during the coming year.
Last week, the ethanol industry said in a letter to President Barack Obama that waiving the Renewable Fuel Standard would have a minimal impact on grain prices and the amount of ethanol that will be produced in the coming year. Many experts disagree, but let's say the ethanol industry is correct. Why wouldn't our federal government, in an abundance of caution, use every tool at its disposal to protect an industry that has provided jobs for Americans and food for our tables for decades?
If the waiver option is not used in these extraordinarily severe circumstances, when will it ever be used? A one-year adjustment in the Renewable Fuel Standard is a reasonable request, and the Environmental Protection Agency should act quickly to avoid further economic harm to the vital food-producing sector of our nation's economy.

The drought in the farm belt raises real fears about food supplies and prices. Some in the livestock, poultry and meat-processing industries are using the problems to attack the Renewable Fuel Standard, a government mandate which promotes the use of bio-fuels. Scrapping the standard won't make it rain. Nor will it reduce corn prices or increase food supplies.
What if the federal government waived 100 percent of the standard during the upcoming 2012-13 corn marketing year? Economics professor Bruce Babcock of Iowa State University found that a 100 percent waiver might result in a 4.6 percent reduction in corn prices. Why so little impact? Even with the drought, the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts that this year's corn crop will be the eighth largest on record. Ethanol stocks currently stand at 800 million gallons. Moreover, the Renewable Fuel Standard already provides flexibility for years when crops are short. Gasoline refiners can "bank" credits in years when they use more ethanol than the standard requires. In years like this, refiners can use these excess credits to comply with the standard. Right now, these "safety valves" are easing demand for corn for ethanol by nearly 14 percent.
There are three more reasons why American ethanol production has little effect on food supplies and prices:
First, ethanol production uses field corn, not the sweet corn that is grown for human consumption. Only one part of the kernel – the starch — is used for ethanol production, and the rest produces at least 33 million metric tons of livestock feed for cattle, hogs and poultry every year. That's enough to provide every American with four quarter-pound hamburgers every week.
Second, 86 cents of every dollar spent on food pays for energy, transportation, packaging and other supply chain costs. Only 14 cents pays for agricultural costs, of which corn is only one.
Third, when it comes to global food supplies, U.S. ethanol production uses only 3 percent of the world's grain supply. This year's worldwide corn crop will be the second-largest ever. And in Africa and Asia, wheat and rice are much more important than corn.
While scrapping the standard won't help food supplies, it would hurt the nation's economy, the environment and energy security.
The American ethanol industry supports more than 400,000 jobs, generates $43 billion in economic activity and pays more than $8 billion in federal, state and local taxes. Americans' family finances benefit from ethanol reducing prices at the pump by an average of $1.09 per gallon last year and 29 cents per gallon from 2000 to 2011.
On the environmental front, replacing gasoline with clean-burning biofuels reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 48 to 59 percent, according to a study published by Yale University's Journal of Industrial Ecology. Because the U.S. produced 13.9 billion gallons of ethanol last year, we used 485 million fewer barrels of imported oil. That means we're less dependent on unfriendly regimes.
Scrap the Renewable Fuel Standard? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Randall J. Doyal is CEO of Al-Corn Clean Fuel in Claremont, Minn.
By Emory Forrester
The USDA's latest crop report showed the drought that is desolating the U.S. corn belt has destroyed a sixth of the country's corn crop in just one month. Our carry-over stocks will be the lowest since 1994.
The drought has made a bad situation worse. Record high and extremely volatile grain prices have been the norm since the introduction of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) in 2005, which mandates the amount of ethanol that must be blended annually in the United States. Today, 40 percent of our nation's corn is burned in our gas tanks.
Chicken companies in particular are increasingly being severely impacted by the growing diversion of corn into fuel from government-mandated ethanol programs. Sixty percent of a chicken's feed ration is made up of corn.
High, volatile corn prices since the RFS was enacted have greatly impacted our company's cost of production. We have reduced our volume 15 percent per week since 2006.
Now, the current drought and unrelenting demand for corn by the ethanol industry has elevated the price of corn to the highest levels ever. Since June of this year, our cost of corn has increased by $1.2 million per week; and there has not been a corresponding increase in the price of chicken.
In an attempt to balance supply and demand, we will reduce our production even further.
We are not alone. According to the University of Georgia, the state's poultry producers will spend an additional $516 million per year on corn due to the drought and the upward pressure on corn prices caused by the demand created by the RFS. These additional input costs are not sustainable.
Since 2006, we have reduced our employment by approximately 300 people. Our anticipated additional production cut will result in reduced hours and lower income for all of our 4,300 employees. There will be less money for them to spend at the grocery store and on life's necessities. This will negatively impact our entire local economy.
In 2007, Congress gave the EPA Administrator the authority to waiv,e in part or in whole, the RFS requirement for just this situation. Due to the impact that RFS has on the availability of corn in this drought situation, we urge EPA to issue a full, one-year waiver for the RFS.
We are not asking for any government handouts. Fieldale Farms has been in business since 1972. Our employees are seasoned business professionals and can compete in the free market for the resources we need. We cannot compete against a U.S. government mandate that is impervious to price.
Emory Forrester is director of feed milling and delivery for Baldwin-based Fieldale Farms Corp.

Hummm…food costs, employment, nutrition vs. fuel; no brainer decision! Corn processing for fuel is not efficient, clean or good for the economy! Our great Nation's priorities have gone nuts. 35 million of our Nation's people have gone below the poverty level, 1/3 of those children. We need affordable protein to sustain our Nation's need for nutrition.

Defense-related employment decline projected to slow
October 08, 1998
After declining steeply from 1987 to 1996, defense-related employment is projected to fall at a slower pace through 2006. Total defense-related employment in the public and private sectors fell by 2.5 million from 1987 to 1996. BLS projects that such employment will decline by an additional 900,000 from 1996 to 2006, falling from 4.5 million to 3.6 million.
[Chart data—TXT]
Most of the slowdown in employment declines is expected to occur in the public sector. The number of Armed Forces and civilian employees will decline from 2.4 million in 1996 to 2.2 million in 2002, before leveling off in 2006. This 7.6 percent decline from 1996 to 2006 is far less than the 30.3 percent decline reported from 1987 to 1996.
Private sector employment in defense, both in directly- and indirectly-related industries, will fall from 2.1 million to 1.5 million in 2002, and to 1.4 million in 2006. In contrast to public sector employment, this 34.2 percent expected decline from 1996 to 2006 is only slightly less rapid than the 40.1 percent decline reported in the private sector from 1987 to 1996.
These data are produced by the BLS Employment Projections program. For additional information, see "Defense-related employment and spending, 1996-2006", Monthly Labor Review, July 1998.

In combination with the migration of global spending power to emerging economies, the coming decade will also see explosive population growth in some countries and declines in others. These diverging trends will have far-reaching impacts, ranging from growing pressure on the supply of critical resources to sweeping changes in people's goals and aspirations at a personal and social level.
At the heart of these effects is the ageing of the global population. Across the world, rising life expectancy is set to drive an ongoing increase in the proportion of over-60s. However, within this overall trend, some societies are ageing rapidly – meaning their supply of working-age people will decline as a proportion of the total population. In contrast, other countries have populations that are young and growing, promising ever-larger labour forces and consumer markets.
The social and economic implications of such differences are profound. With 360 million older workers set to leave the global workforce by 2050, the burden of supporting the ever-expanding ranks of retirees will put the working population under increasing strain in some countries. In others, growing populations will need to be fed, housed, educated and employed to sustain growth and cohesion. In either case, demographic shifts will be a – if not the – major force for social and economic change.

Unless you have a specific reason not to, "bundle-kde-ssl" is suggested. ---[ Configuration ]-------------------------------------------------- To use KDE as your windowing system in XDarwin, create a file called ".xinitrc" in your home directory, containing the following line: /sw/bin/startkde >/tmp/kde.log 2>&1 See http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/run-xfree86.php#xinitrc for more information on the xinitrc files and how they work. If you want to use Apple's X11 instead of the KDE window manager, put the following line before the startkde line in .xinitrc: export KDEWM=quartz-wm If you want to disable quartz-wm even for clipboard synchronization (proxying), put the following line before the startkde line in .xinitrc: export DISABLE_PROXY=1 ---[ Startup ]-------------------------------------------------------- Once you have created an ~/.xinitrc file, you should be able to start KDE by clicking on the "XDarwin" icon in your Applications folder. NOTE: By default, X11 on Mac OS X runs in "rootless" mode, generally. If you run KDE in rootless mode, it will take over your desktop with a window that covers everything up. You can remove this by disabling desktop icons in the KDE control center. Open the control center (either from the "K" menu bar, or by typing "kcontrol" in an xterm) then expand the "Desktop" list, click "Behavior", and uncheck the "Show icons on desktop" checkbox. ---[ Removal ]-------------------------------------------------------- To remove all of the official KDE packages, you can remove the KDE libraries and anything that depends on them by running, in a terminal: sudo apt-get remove kdelibs3-unified-shlibs To remove an individual KDE package collection (like kdenetwork3 or kdesdk3) you can generally remove [package]-base. For example, to remove all of the kdenetwork3 packages, run: sudo apt-get remove kdenetwork3-base

UPDATED!!!! Scene Select now how titles instead of numbers. And you can Press Left and Right to scan back and forth in the skits (or press down to return to the menu at anytime)
After months of delays, Sonic 15th3! is finally released.
This is the final part of the "Sonic Mistakes Series" (Sonic-The Last Bubble, Sonic 15th & Sonic 15th 2wo)
The fans demanded it, so here it is.
Oh, and be warned new views, THIS IS A SPRITE MOVIE! So please, vote fairly (Don't vote 0 cos you hate sprites)
The movie is quite long (about 10minutes long, not including Intro, Credits and Easter eggs hahaha)
And there are 9 hidden easter eggs! YES, 9!!!!
There are hints on how to find all 9 if you can beat the Knuckles Lair mini game.
This game handles like Dragon's Lair, Braindead 13 etc, basically, you are given hints on which direction to press, and a short period of time to press them.
The controls are Up, down, left and right, there is a checkpoint in area 5 (boss area) but no others.
For area 1-4 there are 3 death animations and 1 success (I dare you to watch all 12 deaths) with the Boss Battle, there is death or success (about another 5 deaths?) When you die, you are given to choice to return to the menu or to retry. I hope you enjoy this mini game, think of it as a Demo.
Voices for the animation were provided by Shard-Spider, Magic Kaito, The Blox and Myself (RicStrife)
Please report any errors or bugs you find that I may of missed, and most importantly, ENJOY THE MOVIE!
Vote Fair, leave a review and have fun!

I had to jump in here. Whenever I get new cameraitis I get my 7D out and go take some pictures. Tonight I used my tripod and took several shots off of my patio as the sun was going down. I used my 24-105 at 28 mm and F8. I tried a few little tweaks like bumping the saturation up to 1 in the Neutral setting and increasing the sharpness to 2. I tried different focus modes from my usual "Single point AF", including the manual zone select shifted to the left for a particular tree. I played with white balance settings. I shot in Live mode with a 2 second timer for many of the shots. I took 19 shots all in all. Brought them inside and pixel peeped the heck out of them. I made some crops, kept one in the original framing, and made a watercolor out of a crop of the tree that caught my eye. The crummy old 7D will still take better images than I can visualize. I don't use the fast focus on mine so much, stills and macro are more my thing. My point is, the camera isn't the limitation, I am.
Still, the new ones will make it easier to get good images (we used to say exposures) and I like the idea of higher res. With high resolution you can use a really good fixed lens and crop your zoom later. I feel like I am missing out on something not having a new way cool camera right now! I guess I'll just try to get more things framed correctly the first time and learn how to use the camera I have with more skill!!! LOL
Great (first!) post. Respect. That is also how I often 'cure' my 'new cameraitis' - actually go out and practice, and make some decent photos!
Over many years of photography, I've realise that I still have a lot to learn, develop, practice and enjoy about my current photo great... which currently includes a Canon 7D with 5 good lenses.
