Devils Acquire Andrei Loktionov From LA KingsWednesday, February 6th, 2013
The New Jersey Devils have acquired 22 year old center Andrei Loktionov from the LA Kings for a 5th round pick.
The New Jersey Devils have acquired 22 year old center Andrei Loktionov from the LA Kings for a 5th round pick.
As I am sure everyone is ecstatic over the start of the Devils season, it got me thinking about the word loyalty.
With the start of the 2013 NHL regular season rapidly approaching, here are some milestones that a few New Jersey Devils players could reach this season.
The New Jersey Devils yesterday named Bryce Salvador the 10th captain in team history.
Travis Zajac signed an eight year, $46 million extension with the New Jersey Devils today.
As we all know by now, Ilya Kovalchuk will be back in Jersey today. I'm sure this comes as a relief to every New Jersey Devils fan on the planet.
With the loss of Zach Parise, the Devils have a new face of the franchise who will be here for the next 14 years. His name….. Ilya Kovalchuk.
David Clarkson has signed with EC Red Bull Salzburg of the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga in Austria.
A lot of people have asked me "How do you feel about a possible NHL lockout?" or "What are you gonna do if there is no hockey!?"
Parise is gone. $98 million over 13 years from your home state team will do that to some people. Deal with it.

After you've spooled your Magda Pro, now test the line counter.
The accuracy of the line counter will depend on the amount of
line you put on. Definitely put on more than enough line so that
you can cut line off to make the reel accurate. To check the accuracy
of the counter, make two marks on the ground that are 40 feet
apart. Lay the reel at one mark, reset the counter to 0 and then
pull the line to the 2nd mark. The first time you do this, it
will probably not be 40 feet by the counter's reading. From here,
start cutting a little line at a time and re-check. After a couple
of tries you'll see how much you'll need to take off to get an
accurate reading.
After your reel is calibrated, attach a heavy-duty coastlock
swivel to your Power Pro braid using a strong Palomar knot. With
this Coastlock swivel you can easily switch between different
Umbrella Rigs.
For the actual Umbrella Rigs, just have fun with selecting these.
There's been some very creative approaching to using different
colors and different jig heads. Just experiment with colors and
sizes to see what works in your fishing spots. Natural colors
are always a go-to and chartreuse is a favorite of most.
The amount of line you let out will definitely determine the
depth that your umbrella rigs are running. If you want to run
the umbrella rigs at 18-20 feet, you'll need to put out 90-120
feet of line, depending on the size of the umbrella rig and size
of the baits/jigs on the rigs. We suggest taking a day and go
to a spot where there's a flat, clean bottom and just keep running
the umbrella rigs over these spots and letting out line and adjust
your boat's speed, until you start hitting bottom. Then you'll
know how much line is needed to reach your desired depth and at
what speed you need to run the boat.

Crewe's Ajay Leitch-Smith could be set for a lengthy absence after the striker suffered suspected ankle ligament damage.
Leitch-Smith left Fratton Park on crutches having been on the receiving end of a robust challenge from Portsmouth midfielder Brian Howard.
The 22-year-old has swelling on both sides of his ankle and Alex's medical team will allow that to subside before making a full assessment of the damage.
"Howard went through Ajay to get the ball if you like and was deservedly booked for the challenge, but Ajay has come off worse," Crewe boss Steve Davis told his club's official website.
"We fear he has suffered some ligament damage there and are preparing for him to be out for a little while with that.
"We will have to wait and see on how severe it is, but it doesn't look good."

Want Me (beta) by Me
I've had an ache in my balls for years to turn the intro song from Belly into a bad ass drum and bass song, so I finally started a prototype two nights ago. All really did was extend the intro vocals a little, add an echo to the "However do you want me?" chorus and bring in a synth line… just as a test.
It's basically the same as the original until you get about half-way into it, then it just repeats from there. Still, I think it sounds like it's going to be fucking sick.
FYI: The original song is Back to Life by Soul II Soul. I'll post it after I get off work.

i'm going out on the lash now, but see me after the weekend if it's all sorted.
Uggg..... it seems, from what I have read that 4.0 won't load from a PC. So, I got a spot, downloaded the update from stealthbravo, and can't do anything with it...... I've been stuck without a jailbreak ever since I had to restore to 3.1.3 when my phone got stuck in DFU....... I'm sure it'll happen soon (I hope) but if anybody knows how to load this from a PC I would love the info....
Thanks in advance.... I'm sure glad there are people out there that are way smarter than I am....
Why would the dev-team or whoever reveal that they jb 4.0 so fast? It's on engadget and gizmodo, just to name a few. They reveal there plans of attack so quick, it makes no sense. Maybe just to brag? Don't get me wrong, I want them to jb each and every fw that comes out, but why throw gas on the fire? Surely someone at apple is keeping up with the jb news, etc and working to close any exploits that may have been found?
4.0 gets SBCategoies...
10:34 am: Now back to Steve for the second tent pole. Folders. A better way to organize your applications instead of having page after page of Apps. Drag one app on top of another, and it instantly makes a folder. It auto names the folder based on the category it was alloted in the App store.
Tap on the folder, the screen breaks apart so you can see what's in the folder. You can even put those folders in the dock.
Its funny.... the only time I've ever really found myself wishing I had a mac is when there's an iphone jailbreak/update that won't work on my PC.... I'd setup a partition on my existing hard drive if I wasn't afraid I'd screw something up and then be really stuck.... It's hard to be patient when solutions seem like they're just barely out of reach.... but I will try....
I would add using the LockScreen to display useful information like contact dialing and calendar. Tons of jailbreak apps for that. I don't think I saw anything in 4.0 offering that capabilities.
Maybe that's covered under 3. Themes.
i'm quite surprised as a new dev(i say that with embarrassment) that 4.0 works with apps like airmouse e.g.. i thought apps from 3.1 etc needed to be ported to 4.0 theoretically?
Can any one add me, just let me know what paypal. PM me the details
Can anyone explain why you can't install with windows? I just don't get it.
I have a Dev spot if you need one
By the way people, has anyone tried to update to 4.0 beta on windows? would like some feedback
Ok, I know it's a big favour to ask, since debs are probably getting hundreds of requests for beta spots, but if anyone would be willing to register my UDID 'd be really grateful.
Oh, and I'm just wondering, on apple.com you can sign up for a free dev account, will that let me access the beta?
You can install 4.0 on your iDevice from a pc by eather installing hackint0sh on a seperat partition or running osx from vmware.
The brand new Beta release of os 4 for the iphone 3g.
This has only been released to develoers but i thought i would let
you guys enjoy it.
It is only a beta and if you don't like it, it is easy to go back to 3.1.2 just press restore in itunes.
Becuase most of you guys downloading this torrent will not be developers I am happy to activate the 20 os for you all you need to do is send me your UUID and $10 via paypal to [email protected] I HAVE 4 SLOTS LEFT BE FAST
--------How to find you UUID----------
1) Start iTunes and connect your iPhone
2) On the Summary page for your iPhone, click on the word Serial Number: text
iphone serial
3) The serial number should change to the word Identifier, followed by a long string of numbers and digits
uuid iphone
4) When you press CTRL+C (Windows) or Command/AppleKey + C (Mac) and the UUID will be copied to the clipboard and can then be pasted into an Email / IM window / whatever
Couldn't be simpler. :]

2013 Small School Conference Preview
The small school prospects that made an impact on the 2012 NBA Draft were Damian Lillard (No. 6) and Andrew Nicholson (No. 19) in the first round making it a light year overall. In the past five drafts an average of at least five players from small schools went in the first round and at least one in the lottery.
Last year was a lighter year to say the least.
Since the small schools range from Conference USA to the diminutive Southwest Athletic Conference (SWAC) that features 10 teams, most of which do not expect to produce NBA Talent.
This season looks to be more promising than last with Tony Mitchell (a Top 5 talent) and C.J. McCollum as well as talented teams in Memphis and UNLV. The talent is there this year to get back to the norm with at least a handful of first round talents.
Small School Top 45 Prospects
1. Tony Mitchell – North Texas
Tale of the Tape: 6-8 220 lbs Sophomore SF/PF
2011-2012 Statistics: 14.7 PPG 10.3 RPG 3.0 BPG 0.9 SPG 56.7 FG% 73.9 FT%
Mitchell would be playing in either the NBA or in the SEC right now with the Missouri Tigers, instead he has made it here in a round-a-bout way. He is the best prospect not on a big six conference roster with elite athleticism, great length, and the ability to play the three and the four like a hybrid of Shawn Marion and Josh Smith.
2. Anthony Bennett – UNLV
Tale of the Tape: 6-7 239 lbs Freshman SF
2011-2012 Statistics: High School
There are few players that play with the energy level that Bennett plays with. At the Nike Hoops Summit (April) he was a little out of shape limiting his mobility and effectiveness. That did not stop Bennett from stealing the show with a game sealing bomb from deep. His game is more the physical grind on the defensive end and on the glass, but has the tools to get better on the offensive end with time.
3. Mike Moser – UNLV
Tale of the Tape: 6-8 195 lbs Junior SF/PF
2011-2012 Statistics: 14.0 PPG 10.5 RPG 1.0 BPG 1.9 SPG 45.0 FG% 33.1 3PT%
Last year Moser had a breakout season showing that he left UCLA early for a reason, and maybe, they should have played him. He is a calculated scorer that is most deadly from beyond the arc as a stretch-four. Moser needs to add significant strength to play the four at the next level, but his ability to rebound amongst the trees is impressive for his size.
4. Jamaal Franklin – San Diego State
Tale of the Tape: 6-5 185 lbs Junior SG
2011-2012 Statistics: 17.4 PPG 7.9 RPG 1.5 APG 1.0 SPG 43.3 FG% 80.0 FT%
He is the most undervalued scorer on the perimeter in the country that can play the two and a little bit of the three in college. Franklin is a physical scorer that gets in the paint as well as getting it done from the perimeter as a quality three-point shooter. At his position he is an elite rebounder with a nose for the ball making him a deeper talented prospect than other traditional scorers that are one-dimensional.
5. Ray McCallum – Detroit Mercy
Tale of the Tape: 6-1 185 lbs Junior PG
2011-2012 Statistics: 15.4 PPG 4.5 RPG 4.0 APG 1.6 SPG 45.8 FG% 76.6 FT%
The point guard is a very deceptive athlete that is very capable of scoring in bunches, in transition, and off of the bounce. He is a pure point guard in the sense that McCallum is always probing the defense looking for the his teammates setting them up to score. McCallum has good size for his position allowing him to get into the teeth of the defense and absorb contact.
6. Adonis Thomas – Memphis
Tale of the Tape: 6-7 220 lbs Sophomore SF
2011-2012 Statistics: 8.8 PPG 3.2 RPG 0.6 SPG 0.7 BPG 48.6 FG% 40.5 3PT%
It was a lackluster freshman campaign for Thomas as he played out of shape and was on a team that was very unorganized. He has the physical and athletic tools to be a very good rebounder and defender for his position, but not if he remains out of shape. Having the discipline to not only stay in shape, but play with high energy on a consistent level will be key to Thomas reaching his potential.
7. C.J. McCollum – Lehigh
Tale of the Tape: 6-3 180 lbs Senior PG
2011-2012 Statistics: 21.9 PPG 6.5 RPG 3.5 APG 2.6 SPG 44.3 FG% 34.1 3PT%
He was the darling of the NCAA Tournament in 2012, but McCollum is much more than that as a basketball player. As a scorer he is adept at getting into the middle of the floor and scoring from there. He is not an above the rim athlete, but more of a cerebral scorer from the perimeter learning the art of efficiency from there. McCollum is not a classic play-maker, but has made strides as a point guard over the past three years.
8. Doug McDermott – Creighton
Tale of the Tape: 6-7 210 lbs Junior SF
2011-2012 Statistics: 22.9 PPG 8.2 RPG 1.1 APG 60.1 FG% 48.6 3PT% 79.6 FT%
There is little doubt that McDermott is the best pure shooter that is also a legit NBA prospect in college today. He has the size and shooting ability to score as a three or a stretch-four in spot duty. As an athlete he is lacking, needing to add strength to his frame to defend elite athletes, but has the Basketball IQ to make the jump to the next level.
9. Keith Clanton – Central Florida
Tale of the Tape: 6-8 230 lbs Senior PF
2011-2012 Statistics: 14.5 PPG 8.1 RPG 1.8 BPG 1.0 SPG 46.1 FG% 58.6 FT%
Clanton is an athletic and active four, slightly undersized overall, but plays with a high motor out-working the opposition nightly. He was overshadowed last year by the likes of Marcus Jordan, who is not on the team anymore giving Clanton the opportunity to showcase his skills. Clanton now has the team to himself with the opportunity to showcase his skills nightly without distraction.
10. Elias Harris – Gonzaga
Tale of the Tape: 6-7 245 lbs Senior SF/PF
2011-2012 Statistics: 13.1 PPG 8.5 RPG 0.9 SPG 0.8 BPG 50.2 FG% 41.4 3PT%
It feels like Harris has been in college for the better part of a decade, which is what happens when players are touted as one-and-done talents like he was as a freshman. Harris is a quality athlete that can defend three positions with his combination of size, strength, and quickness. Offensively he has made strides over the years, but has not displayed the explosiveness needed to be a consistent scoring threat inside the paint.
11. Brandon Davies – BYU
Tale of the Tape: 6-9 235 lbs Senior PF
2011-2012 Statistics: 15.2 PPG 7.7 RPG 1.5 SPG 1.3 BPG 51.6 FG% 66.2 FT%
The athletic four can score points in bunches off of his athleticism alone. He is not a polished scorer on the low block, but over his career has added new aspects to his game to develop into a prospect in his own right. Davies is a rangy defender that gets into passing lanes and contests weak-side shots as well as any fours in the class.
12. Matthew Dellavedova – St. Mary's
Tale of the Tape: 6-4 190 lbs Senior PG
2011-2012 Statistics: 15.5 PPG 3.3 RPG 6.4 APG 0.8 SPG 44.6 FG% 85.7 FT%
Dellavedova has become a complete point guard over the years. Earlier in his career his lack of athleticism held him back from being able to score inside the three-point line, but he has improved in that. He is a high percentage shooter from everywhere on the floor including the free-throw line using his thick build and size to get there.
13. D.J. Cooper – Ohio
Tale of the Tape: 5-11 165 lbs Senior PG
2011-2012 Statistics: 14.7 PPG 5.7 APG 3.7 RPG 2.3 SPG 34.8 FG% 30.7 3PT%
The diminutive point guard is a tough and gritty leader. He gets inside the teeth of the defense with ease using his great ball-handling skills and quickness, once there, he can score himself in the paint, or find an open teammate with good court awareness. As an undersized point guard Cooper has added the three-point shot to his arsenal, not consistent yet, but it is a weapon to balance his attacking style.
14. Kerron Johnson – Belmont
Tale of the Tape: 6-1 175 lbs Senior PG
2011-2012 Statistics: 13.8 PPG 5.2 APG 3.1 RPG 1.4 SPG 51.8 FG% 76.6 FT%
Johnson is a quality point guard with good size for the position. He is adept at scoring in transition and at the rim with his athleticism and craftiness around the basket. As a point guard Johnson can play off the ball as a scorer shooting a high percentage from most spots on the floor, but last year developed into more of a play-maker for his teammates on the ball.
15. Isaiah Canaan – Murray State
Tale of the Tape: 6-0 175 lbs Senior PG
2011-2012 Statistics: 19.0 PPG 3.6 APG 3.5 RPG 1.4 SPG 46.8 FG% 45.6 3PT%
He is a scorer flat out and after last season where he stepped out on the national spotlight leading his team to a great season he is on draft boards. Canaan is strong for his size, compact, and can get in the paint to shoot free-throws at a high rate. As a scorer he balances that with the threat of the deep three that he can hit with regularity in spot-up or off the dribble situations.
16. Nate Wolters – South Dakota State
Tale of the Tape: 6-4 190 lbs Senior PG
2011-2012 Statistics: 21.2 PPG 5.9 APG 5.1 RPG 1.7 SPG 44.8 FG% 24.1 3PT%
The big point guard is a very talented and adept scorer from the perimeter. He can score from behind the three-point line as well as through the offense moving with (and without) the ball. Wolters has proven that he is a very good shooter and is balancing scoring and play-making every year to become more of a complete point guard.
17. Zeke Marshall – Akron
Tale of the Tape: 7-0 235 lbs Senior C
2011-2012 Statistics: 10.4 PPG 5.4 RPG 2.8 BPG 54.2 FG% 70.6 FT%
As an athletic center Marshall is a shot-blocker through and through. He does not offer much on the offensive end and is a very average rebounder for his size, but can block shots with his length, size, and athleticism.
18. Justin Edwards – Maine
Tale of the Tape: 6-3 185 lbs Sophomore PG
2011-2012 Statistics: 13.9 PPG 3.3 APG 5.6 RPG 1.4 SPG 42.5 FG% 75.7 FT%
As a freshman Edwards exceeded expectations stepping up as the teams second leading scorer and distributor, as well as the third leading rebounder on the team as a point guard. Edwards is a highly skilled one, but hidden in the American East Conference up in Maine. He was offered scholarships from only Buffalo, Fresno State, and Maine, but didn't garner the hype as a lower key prospect from Canada.
19. Adjehi Baru – Charleston SC
Tale of the Tape: 6-9 225 lbs Sophomore PF
2011-2012 Statistics: 7.8 PPG 6.3 RPG 0.7 SPG 0.7 BPG 48.3 FG% 20.9 FT%
Baru is a combo forward that can defend the three and the four with his length and athleticism. He is still coming along as a basketball player with little skill as a scorer and rebounder.
20. Alec Brown – Wisconsin-Green Bay
Tale of the Tape: 7-1 212 lbs Junior C
2011-2012 Statistics: 13.8 PPG 8.2 RPG 3.0 BPG 45.6 FG% 77.1 FT%
He has a lot of strength and weight that needs to be added to his frame to be able to play with elite level athletes on a nightly basis, but Brown has made major strides in his two years in college. He is a great shot-blocker, primarily from the weak-side, and has improved considerably as a scorer and rebounder. Still very raw as a prospect with lots of upside.
21. Deonte Burton – Nevada
Tale of the Tape: 6-1 185 lbs Junior PG
2011-2012 Statistics: 14.8 PPG 4.2 APG 2.6 RPG 1.1 SPG 40.2 FG% 79.7 FT%
Last season Burton came on strong and is garnering buzz as a potential first round pick. He is more of a scoring point guard with good size. As a point guard he is very athletic for the position and can get up and down the court. What he needs to work (or prove he can do consistently) is running an offense in the half-court. He is not a good three-point shooter, so in the half-court Burton is limited to a smaller arsenal offensively.
22. C.J. Aiken – Saint Joseph's
Tale of the Tape: 6-9 192 lbs SF/PF
2011-2012 Statistics: 10.9 PPG 5.1 RPG 1.2 APG 3.5 BPG 53.6 FG% 72.0 FT%
Aiken is another athlete at the three/four spot that needs to add strength or a perimeter game to make the jump to the next level. He is a very talented shot-blocker off of the weak side with his length and athleticism, but can be overpowered in the paint. As a perimeter scorer Aiken has a long way to go as an average shooter from just about everywhere.
23. De'Mon Brooks – Davidson
Tale of the Tape: 6-7 223 lbs Junior SF
2011-2012 Statistics: 15.7 PPG 6.2 RPG 1.0 SPG 0.5 BPG 53.0 FG% 72.1 FT%
Easily the best athlete in the Southern Conference and a big time scorer in an efficient way is Brooks. He can score from most everywhere on the court — the three is still inconsistent — but he is an aggressive wing with big time potential.
24. DeShawn Painter – ODU
Tale of the Tape: 6-9 231 lbs Senior PF
2011-2012 Statistics: 6.2 PPG 4.3 RPG 0.6 BPG 42.3 FG% 71.8 FT%
The numbers are deceiving as he is transferring from the deep N.C. State Wolfpack team that didn't have any minutes for Painter. He is a big six conference talent that comes into a system known for efficiency and defense. If he can pick up those skills while there to add to the already athletic and wiry game Painter is a draftable talent in 2013.
25. Chaz Williams – UMass
Tale of the Tape: 5-9 175 lbs Junior PG
2011-2012 Statistics: 16.9 PPG 4.4 RPG 6.2 APG 2.2 SPG 41.0 FG% 41.9 3PT%
The water-bug point guard is not big in stature, but is as quick as they come playing full-court defense all game and pushing the pace on the offensive end. He can score inside the teeth of the defense with his quickness and handle, then balances that with a consistent three-point shot.
26. Khyle Marshall – Butler
Tale of the Tape: 6-7 210 lbs Junior SF
2011-2012 Statistics: 9.8 PPG 4.3 RPG 0.3 SPG 0.7 BPG 55.3 FG% 55.3 FT%
Marshall is a great athlete, elite for his position and that translates to transition offense, rebounding, and defense. He can guard three positions on the defensive end and knows who is on this team as a defensive stopper.
27. Chris Braswell – Charlotte
Tale of the Tape: 6-8 235 lbs Senior PF
2011-2012 Statistics: 15.8 PPG 7.6 RPG 1.2 SPG 1.2 BPG 51.1 FG% 77.6 FT%
As a four Braswell is a bit undersized, but a great athlete that can score inside-out. With his lack of traditional size Braswell is not a great defender for his position, but very active, athletic, and plays with a high motor.
28. Tarik Black – Memphis
Tale of the Tape: 6-8 220 lbs Junior PF
2011-2012 Statistics: 10.7 PPG 4.9 RPG 1.5 BPG 0.6 SPG 68.9 FG% 59.4 FT%
Black is more of a five when you look at his skill-set as a defender, rebounder, and athlete. His limitations on offense made for an inconsistent, up-and-down first two years in college, but Black has the potential to be a quality defender in the paint at the next level.
29. Shaq Goodwin – Memphis
Tale of the Tape: 6-8 245 lbs Freshman PF
2011-2012 Statistics: High School
As a two-sport athlete Goodwin has the physical tools to dominate in the paint. He was always knocked for maturity, but seems to have put that behind him becoming a very good basketball and football player. As a post player Goodwin has great length, strength, and athleticism to be an impact player right away.
30. Patson Siame – Loyola Marymount
Tale of the Tape: 6-11 215 lbs Freshman PF/C
2011-2012 Statistics: High School
He is very raw as a basketball player after picking it up in Zambia and getting courted to come over to a small school like Loyola Marymount. On the offensive end Siame is a dunker and relies solely on athleticism to get buckets. Then on the defensive end he is a raw shot-blocker that can turn away drivers with his length and athleticism, but is not an instinctual defender at this point.
31. Joe Jackson – Memphis
Tale of the Tape: 6-1 164 lbs Junior PG
2011-2012 Statistics: 11.0 PPG 3.8 APG 2.2 RPG 1.2 SPG 42.0 FG% 83.7 FT%
Jackson is an enigmatic player that has all the talent in the world, but plays inconsistent and at times doesn't see the smart play as a point guard. He is more of a scorer at the point guard position, but not an elite shooter or penetrator makes his lack of size a glaring issue. This season he has the talent around him to prove he can be a facilitator at first and an opportunistic scorer to compliment that.
32. Andrew Smith – Butler
Tale of the Tape: 6-11 240 lbs Senior C
2011-2012 Statistics: 10.9 PPG 5.2 RPG 0.8 SPG 0.7 BPG 52.5 FG% 35.2 3PT%
The offense will revolve around Smith this season which will give scouts the opportunity to see what kind of offensive player he can be. Like the Butler team in general, Smith is methodical, and scores points in a cerebral way. He is not a particularly great defender or rebounder, two categories a near 7-footer needs to have.
33. Chase Tapley – San Diego State
Tale of the Tape: 6-3 195 lbs Senior PG/SG
2011-2012 Statistics: 15.8 PPG 4.3 RPG 2.3 APG 1.8 SPG 45.5 FG% 43.3 3PT%
The evolution of Tapley has been very interesting over the years as a defensive stopper, to a three-point specialist, and now to a complete basketball player on the perimeter. He is built more to play the one, but is not a great play-maker for others and is best suited as a scorer off the ball. As a defender Tapley has the potential to be a lock-down prospect on the perimeter against point guards or twos.
34. Rotnei Clark – Butler
Tale of the Tape: 6-0 190 lbs Senior PG/SG
2010-2011 Statistics: 15.2 PPG 3.0 RPG 1.6 APG 0.8 SPG 43.9 FG% 43.8 3PT%
After sitting out last season for a transfer the best shooter in college basketball according to CBS Sports Jeff Goodman steps into an offense that is predicated on making situational threes. He is a very one-dimensional player as a shooter, not a point guard, but also not big enough to play the two with consistency.
35. Anton Grady – Cleveland State
Tale of the Tape: 6-8 215 lbs Sophomore PF
2010-2011 Statistics: 8.5 PPG 6.4 RPG 0.9 SPG 1.4 BPG 53.3 FG% 62.9 FT%
Grady is another potential breakout scorer with the producers in front of him now gone. He was very efficient in a small sample last season and has the ability to score inside-out with consistency.
36. Alan Williams – UC Santa-Barbara
Tale of the Tape: 6-7 240 lbs Sophomore PF
2011-2012 Statistics: 6.9 PPG 6.5 RPG 1.3 BPG 0.5 SPG 51.0 FG% 59.5 FT%
Williams has a chance to step out of Orlando Johnson's shadow, something he began to do last year as an avid rebounder on the offensive glass and as an efficient scorer.
37. Jerrell Wright – La Salle
Tale of the Tape: 6-8 240 lbs Sophomore PF
2011-2012 Statistics: 9.8 PPG 5.6 RPG 1.1 BPG 0.9 SPG 57.3 FG% 61.7 FT%
The athletic four has the chance to be a major riser as a sophomore. He is a great rebounder on both ends of the floor and scores the ball in a variety of ways when the ball is in his hands.
38. Treveon Graham – VCU
Tale of the Tape: 6-5 215 lbs Sophomore SG
2011-2012 Statistics: 7.0 PPG 3.2 RPG 0.8 SPG 38.9 FG% 31.3 3PT%
Graham will be tasked with replacing the production of graduating senior Bradford Burgess. He is a similar player as a quality offensive rebounder and defender, but also has the ability to get to the free-throw line at a high rate to score points.
39. Doug Anderson – Detroit Mercy
Tale of the Tape: 6-6 212 lbs Senior SG/SF
2011-2012 Statistics: 9.2 PPG 4.6 RPG 1.2 APG 1.1 SPG 52.2 FG% 80.9 FT%
Another case of a great athlete that could compete on the bigger stage that fell through the cracks to the Titans. He is one of the best athletes in the country and can finish over just about anyone with amazing strength. If he can mix in some perimeter shooting into his game then Anderson will be a fast riser with point guard Ray McCallum feeding him the ball.
40. O.D. Anosike – Siena
Tale of the Tape: 6-8 241 lbs Senior PF/C
2011-2012 Statistics: 15.0 PPG 12.5 RPG 1.1 SPG 1.0 BPG 52.4 FG% 56.1 FT%
He is undersized as a five man, but is not the offensive threat that a four needs to be. Anosike is arguably the best rebounder in college basketball today. Most of his offense comes off of the offensive glass where he averaged 4.3 offensive rebounds a night. It will be interesting to see his progression on the offensive end while maintaining the rebounding because his calling is as utility garbage man at the next level.
41. Danuel House – Houston
Tale of the Tape: 6-6 185 lbs Freshman SG
2011-2012 Statistics: High School
The Cougars have a steal in Houston who is a legitimate top level prospect that can play the two and the three on both ends of the floor. He is a great athlete that can get up and down the floor finishing with strength and finesse. As a play-maker he has improved, but is more of a scorer in transition rather than the half-court.
42. Robert Upshaw – Fresno State
Tale of the Tape: 6-11 250 lbs Freshman C
2011-2012 Statistics: High School
Physically there are not many that come in as a freshman built as well as Upshaw as a near 7-footer with great strength and quality athleticism. He has the polish already to be an impact defender around the rim.
43. Kevin Pangos – Gonzaga
Tale of the Tape: 6-1 180 lbs Sophomore PG
2011-2012 Statistics: 13.6 PPG 3.4 APG 2.7 RPG 1.2 SPG 43.1 FG% 40.1 3PT%
Pangos is the consummate scoring guard from the one with his range on his jumper. He is a very smart basketball player that seems to take the smart shot more often than not, but also keeps the offense flowing to his teammates. As a point guard he is not the best play-maker, but has a good handle and finds his teammates in good spots.
44. Melvin Johnson – VCU
Tale of the Tape: 6-3 175 lbs Freshman SG/PG
2011-2012 Statistics: High School
Johnson is a complete scorer on the offensive end as an elite level shooter from three and a quality penatrator with the ball in his hands going at the basket.
45. Jordan Burgess – VCU
Tale of the Tape: 6-5 195 lbs Freshman SG
2011-2012 Statistics: High School
The younger brother of Bradford Burgess who had a great career here will put some pressure on Jordan. He is a big, strong, physical wing that knock down the three and should be a good rebounder for his position.

I have been a patient of Dr Rokaw for 15 years. The man is unbelieveable in his knowledge of medicine. He has referred me to other top notch doctors when needed. He is very personable and always has a joke to cheer you up. I have referred friends to him and they are equally impressed.

I have been seen by SEVERAL specialists, internists, endocrinologists, etc. (international, Houston, Dallas and LA) and by far Dr. Rokaw supersedes them ALL above and beyond. MY DIABETES and ALL issues that were out of control in my body FINALLY ARE CONTROLLED AND WAS ABLE TO CONCEIVE A BABY!!!. I NEVER feel rushed and takes his time to LISTEN to my health concerns, as opposed to other physicians who are just "text book and blah blah" and nothing of results. If you want results and a physician to tell you the truth straight forward with humor about life, this is the doctor for you! May God bless Dr. Rokaw! I am vey hard to draw blood and ALL of his personell are able to find it quickly, no pain and ONE POKE!!!! Front desk is excellent and office is newly renovated, VERY NICE!

I do not like or trust doctors, but I both like and respect the opinions of Dr. Rokaw. He is open to alternative treatments where they are generally effective, and he follows up on test with a phone call. He has never been unavailable for a prescription refill or for a question. Also rare in doctors, he has a sense of humor. This makes him more human, in my opinion. I would and have recommended him to anyone in need of an endocrinologist.

Dr. Rokaw is a great doctor. I have seen him for about 10 years now. He has guided me through numerous illnesses that were too obscure for most doctors to figure out. He does have a sense of humor that helps alleviate the anxiety of doctor visits. He treats his patients with the utmost respect and care. He is extremely knowledgeable and definitely one of the best in LA.
Submitted June 18, 2008 | flag
My first visit was today. I did arrive late and was seen late. I was asked several questions and blood was drawn. I did not expect to receive a physical exam as he is a specialist in hormones. Problems are diagnosed with testing. He has a sense of humor that I can relate to but is perhaps a bit risky for the average person. He should be less casual to avoid misunderstandings.

Two tests for fresh self-consolidating concrete (SCC) are now available as ASTM standard test methods, but only the slump flow test serves much use in the field. But a test being developed at the University of Illinois also looks promising for field use.
At the ASTM sub-committee on self-consolidating concrete's meeting in Toronto in June, Leslie J. Struble, a professor at the University of Illinois, presented an overview of a new Segregation Probe that may provide a rapid and reliable field indication of SCC mix stability.
The probe is similar to a spindle for holding papers. It weighs 18 grams and consists of a 2.38 mm (3/32-inch) diameter steel wire bent into a 100 mm circle and a 150 mm rod, which is at right angles to the plane of the circle. After penetrating the cement paste at the top of the cylinder, the device settles atop the aggregates it encounters below the surface.
To run the test, the probe is placed on the top surface of a concrete cylinder two minutes after it has been cast. After allowing it to settle for one minute, its penetration depth is read. A stability rating is assigned based on that reading. If it settles less than 4 mm, it is rated 0. Settlement of 4-7 mm is rated 1, from 7-25 mm is rated 2, and greater than 25 mm is rated 3. Ratings of 0 and 1 are stable; 2 and 3 are unstable.
Correlation has been very good between measurements using the segregation probe, which can be in a very few minutes, and results of the column segregation test, which take 30 minutes. Because even small changes in aggregate moisture content or admixture dosages can significantly affect the stability of SCC, the segregation probe may be useful in the field.

Recipe Headnotes: Do We Really Need Them?
Headnotes are practically a requisite for a recipe published these days. Open a cookbook or visit a blog, and you can't miss it: a paragraph or two of friendly introduction leading into the recipe. But do these headnotes really add anything to the recipe? Do we need them?
I'll confess. I often skip over the headnotes. Even when I'm reading a cookbook for pleasure instead of in a need to get dinner on the table, I'm usually more interested in the recipe itself than, say, the writer's trip to Spain. I still like to hear about the trip, mind you. I just prefer to read it as a longer story in the book's introduction rather than little blurbs before recipes.
There are exceptions, of course. Some cookbook authors are particularly adept at writing engaging headnotes. They pull you in with descriptions of the food, ideas for serving it, and stories that explain unfamiliar ingredients. These headnotes enhance the recipe and give it context. (By the by, the headnote pictured above comes from Can It, Bottle It, Smoke It by Karen Solomon, which had some of the best headnotes I've read in a long time!)
Dianne Jacob, author of Will Write for Food, had an interesting post about this very subject a while back. There were lots of opinions on what makes a good headnote:
• What Makes a Recipe Headnote So Good You Want to Rush Into the Kitchen? from Will Write for Food
Do you always read the recipe headnotes? Do you think we need them?

I use them sometimes when I'm looking at a new recipe that's going to be using an unfamiliar ingredient or technique. But other than that I admit that I skip them.
I'm usually all about simplicity and I agree that I don't care about the trip to France that inspired the recipe. I do, however, appreciate when they indicate what to serve a recipe with--rice or bread? is there another dish that traditionally is served with this dish?--especially when I'm cooking cuisine from a different culture.
I find them helpful if they truly introduce the recipe--like if they offer a good summary of the cooking process, or suggestions for multitasking, especially for a long or complex recipe (i.e. "do X while Y is simmering.") If it's an ethnic recipe, something about the culture is nice, or if the recipe has some historical significance. I find I am rarely interested in the inspiration unless it's a really good story.
I love them ^_^ Usually a good read with a bit of history
Done well*, they are one of the reasons I still buy cookbooks rather just find a recipe online. It's also why, presumably, there are thousands of cooking blogs - folks like to read about the dish/its inspiration/creation/how-it-went/etc. Otherwise, Allrecipes would dominate the world. :)
(*it must add to the understanding or creation of the dish).
I appreciate them when they are short and to the point, and set a nice tone for the recipe, but I'm not a fan of what seems to be a blogger trend of telling your (unrelated) life story interspersed with a recipe.
As a rule, I enjoy reading them. However, I usually just read them once on my first perusal through the cookbook.
I enjoy them -- and it's easy enough to skip them. As jg09 said, it's one of the reasons why I still prefer cookbooks. I hate when recipes fail to make suggestions for other things to serve with.
Maybe it's from reading so many blogs (which are usually extended headnotes), but I would probably not buy a recipe book without headnotes. I want some info on the background/inspiration of the recipe, possible variations, what's particularly good about it, etc. etc. When I'm flipping through a cookbook, I really want some extra info to help me decide what to make.
I love them. No different than reading the head note on the recipe here on TheKitchn. Sometimes its the headnote that makes me prepare a particular dish.
i always read them at least once, and almost always love them
A great headnote should provide you info about the dish that cannot be ascertained from the recipe. I like headnotes that let me know what the final product should look, feel, and taste like. A short story is fine, but keep it brief and relevant.
They're probably just there so that the author can claim copyright :)
I like to skim them. For a recipe that's unfamiliar to me it can provide just that extra bit of motivation to make it. Some are far too elaborate or try to hard to make the recipe and the author sound fancy, but done well they can be amusing and helpful.
Do you guys see the irony in this? These headnotes are full of irrelevant anecdotes... now go back and read some of the comments on this very blog and see how many of those are about how someone's grandma used to make this thing as a kid, or how someone saw this in a cookbook in Greece but couldn't read and understand what it was, or etc..
Oh yes, I expect the headnote to capture my imagination and charm me into the kitchen. Helpful tips are appreciated, but I like a story!
I love them, and the little connection it gives you with the author. It makes me feel as if I've been invited into their kitchen, to talk about food and the circumstances around food, and gives some background on either the recipe, the ingredients, the author, or something else entirely! I especially think Molly Weizenberg does a good job combining storytelling with recipes, I love to read what she has to say about a recipe.
I'll read them when they're useful, like America's Test Kitchen Best 30-Minute Recipes headnotes, which explain the process, what they tried, what worked and didn't work and what shortcuts they used.
My goodness - I think that's the best part of the cookbook. Please don't get rid off the headnotes/text; I think you learn a lot about the dish from them.
Um, I think I would toss a cookbook out the window if it had no headnotes. I don't want just a list of ingredients and a recipe! I want to know what the write thinks, what he/she has to say about the particular recipe, is there a memory or a story involved with it? Not only do I think they are welcomed and necessary, I think they are ESSENTIAL (which I guess is the same as necessary :).
I hate headnotes, but a recipe can't be copyrighted. Headnotes can. Thus they exist. Sometimes to the point of nausea.
I think they add so much personality and make it that much more enjoyable to curl up on the couch with a cookbook, especially when accompanied by beautiful photographs.
I love them. My favorite cookbook, Everybody Eats Well in Belgium is my favorite because of all the history and anecdotes. A simple listing of ingredients and directions is just boring.
I agree with ATN654!
"A great headnote should provide you info about the dish that cannot be ascertained from the recipe. I like headnotes that let me know what the final product should look, feel, and taste like. A short story is fine, but keep it brief and relevant."
i almost always skip them; i might look at them if the recipe seems hard or i really want to get to know something new. i generally take all recipes to look at quantity, time and temperature and then play with the spices myself
I love good headnotes. Ditto this:
"Done well*, they are one of the reasons I still buy cookbooks rather just find a recipe online. It's also why, presumably, there are thousands of cooking blogs - folks like to read about the dish/its inspiration/creation/how-it-went/etc. Otherwise, Allrecipes would dominate the world. :)"
to me this is a very important part of a recipe.
Usually when I am looking at recipes its because I want to try something new, or reproduce something I had. In both cases the headnote usually gives me clues if its the right recipe for me.
For example if I wanted to make an apple pie its helpful to hear in the headnote if this is a very traditional "just like grandma use to make" recipe or some hipster foodie blogger concoction "updated" apple pie.
Like everybody, I like relevant headnotes. I don't care about the author's personal life, but I love knowing where the inspiration for a recipe came from.
For instance: "I cooked this on my third cousin's birthday and everybody loved it": who cares ?
"The idea came on my third cousin's birthday, from seeing avocados associated with pineapple, then I dreamt of mayonnaise and bamboos and there I had it": you're weird but all right.
Wine associations and side dishes suggestions are appreciated, but I know my wine cellar (one of the great perks of living in France is that it goes back to 1975) and tend to choose my wine after I cook a meal for the first time. Call me old fashioned, I hate wine suggestions and do my choices alone. But they are helpful.
I hate them. Lately it seems to be the fad to write a LOT before the recipe is posted. I usually clip recipes into Evernote, and I always edit that out. I like quick and easy recipe writing so I can see at a glance if I'm going to make whatever the recipe's for.
Whether I like to read the headnotes depends on how I feel about the author -- but then, when the author annoys me, I tend to also dislike the recipes. For instance, I have one vegetarian cookbook (a holdover from a time when I wasn't so knowledgeable/picky about cookbooks) whose author sticks a lot of irrelevant, opinionated commentary about her own life on top of a boring recipe for, say, grilled portobellos. I can't stand reading her headnotes, and every recipe I've tried from that book turns out just as boring as her droning intros.
On the other hand, I love reading Julia Child's observations about this or that dish or ingredient, which are usually clever as well as informative. I love reading Sherry Yard's stories about encounters with the famous people for whom she has created some outlandishly wonderful concoction. Maybe it's not the case in all circumstances, but I think the personality of the chef/author comes out in the food just as much as in the stories.
If the note is going to explain to me (like Cooks Illustrated) why I should follow their technique and use their specific ingredients, tools, or pans, I think it's very useful.
I would tend to make the recipe more like what is written than say "oh, I don't have X in the house", and substitute and maybe it will work. Or think I should do a step differently because I know better than the author.
The other use for me helps me understand the type of dish (traditional Italian like mama used to make; attempt at making low-fat cake, etc.) that I like. Or notes like "If you prefer cake-like brownies, use a 9x13, and 8x8 for fudge-like".
But then again, I'm looking more for recipes that work, or techniques to help me out in cookbooks I get (and have no more room for on shelves), not so much history/stories, unless they support the recipe.
Headnotes make or break the cookbook! Especially if it's cooking recipes (and not baking), if there aren't compelling headnotes, I'm liable not to buy the cookbook. I can make up my own creative recipes, or look them up online if I just wanted lists of ingredients and bulleted instructions. Plus, the best recipes have stories behind them, especially old recipes.
Headnotes are also fantastically great places to explain some stuff about the recipe that doesn't easily go into the instructions or give some hints about execution. Instead of constantly putting bracketed asides into the instructions (like I generally do).
Good headnotes are a must. Online, I skip a lot of recipes that don't have headnotes. I want to know that the banana bread recipe I'm scoping is something you get requests for and that your favourite way of eating it is toasted with butter. I want to know about how your Oma gave you this recipe when you were going through a rough patch and were seeking out budget friendly foods and how it's now one of your go to easy, fast, cheap and delicious meals. I want to know how the first time you made this ferment, you threw the jar out because you were too scared to try your experiment...
A list of ingredients is something any schmuck can do. Food is culture and culture is about story.
It depends. I like to read about daily life, cultural notes if it's a cooking book about a certain culture, cuisine. It makes the experience richer and helps imagination and mood.
I tend to be get bored if it's a general cooking book.
My main reference cookbook doesn't have them, and I came to think it's a trend thing. I agree with those who pointed out headnotes like Julia Child's (informative, relevant to the recipe's ingredients or techniques), but the one in the recipe pictured shouldn't go at the head of the recipe but rather the end. It does have the content and feeling of a comment, don't you think?
So... placement indicates content: headnotes, sidenotes, footnotes. They are different in placement and different in what they say. That's something the cookbook publishing industry doesn't always seem to have clearly understood.
Never read them. At most, a notes blurb about options and substitutions is all I read besides the ingredients list, and the directions. I still love to "read" through cookbooks, but all I really do is look at pictures, and read ingredients lists.
I always read them, and they are a significant source of the pleasure of reading a cookbook to me.
A recipe is a recipe is a recipe.
The headnotes give it meaning. I can get a risotto recipe anywhere.
If there is a fun/sentimental story attached to it, then the odds of me making it increase.
I love them. I'd rather have great headnotes than pictures in a cookbook if I had to choose.

Octomom Sued By Former Mouseketeer
Former kid star Paul Peterson sues Nadya Suleman for child exploitation.
You won't find celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred attempting to provide free nanny care for Nadya Suleman's octuplets as she did back in March -- and certainly not after Suleman fired them. On the contrary, Allred is now representing a client who is suing the Octomom for exploiting her eight infants for financial gain. Paul Peterson, former child star of "The Donna Reed Show" and the "Mickey Mouse Club," is the founder of the child star advocacy group, A Minor Consideration, and is at the helm of a lawsuit filed against Suleman. Peterson calls for a court-appointed guardian to oversee any wages Suleman's eight little cash cows receive in the future.
And apparently, the octuplets' future is bright. Their mom has already signed contracts for a show produced by Eyeworks productions that would film her children until their eighteenth birthdays. Not to mention the windfall profits that Suleman and her kids have made from photo sales and her appearances on radaronline.com.
Allred, speaking on Peterson's behalf, also claims Suleman has violated California labor laws regarding her children, particularly when two of the premature infants were filmed continuously for several hours. According to California law, babies from 15 days old to six months old can only "work" daytime hours and then in only 20-minute increments. Additionally, when filming or photographing children, "a nurse and credentialed studio teacher must be present," said Allred.
Not one to mince words, Peterson believes the exploitation of Suleman's octuplets is a disgrace. "There is only one commodity in the Suleman home that has any value, and it's not the mom," Peterson told momlogic.
The producers of reality shows are all too eager to turn their cameras toward Suleman and her unconventional life. Shows documenting families with multiples are hugely popular -- and lucrative. Unscripted reality-show producers are able to circumvent child labor laws by hiding under the "documentary" category.
"The trick is they are not in a reality show," clarifies Peterson. "The presence of a camera changes everything. It is a commercial production. Every adult is being compensated and the child is not."
Peterson parallels the intrusion of cameras on the octuplets to a nature documentary.
"These children are not meerkats to be displayed like animals," argues Peterson. "These children will be effected until the end of their life."
Peterson furthers his point by referencing a letter published in Time magazine in 1997 written by the Dionne quintuplets, warning parents of multiples not to put their children on display.
"Our lives have been ruined by the exploitation we suffered at the hands of the government of Ontario, our place of birth. We were displayed as a curiosity three times a day for millions of tourists.... Multiple births should not be confused with entertainment, nor should they be an opportunity to sell products." Um, try selling THAT idea to the Octomom.

- Octuplets: Don't Punish the Kids!
- Taking Octuplets Away Not the Answer!
Finally someone is taking a full stand that may well benefit these children and not their mother. Lets see what happens when she can't go to the mall because she has to put the bulk of any money made because of the octuplets into a trust. I just wish A Minor Consideration would have stepped in from the beginning but better late than never.
then why doesn't he sue the duggars or jon & kate???
Anonymous good point
Anon I was wondering the same thing. I am very glad that someone is stepping in to oversee the children from the Octomom though. That situation is a disaster.
This is welcome news for all of us who have spoken out about the exploitation of these babies. Perhaps, it's time for full disclosure about how the kids "working" for TLC—-the Duggars, Jon and Kate's brood, and Little People - Big World will benefit from the parents' apparent willingness to have these children support their parents. I will certainly be interested in how these stories unfold.
To anonymous % Emma
Apparently there is no federal law protecting children working in the entertainment industry, nor are there laws in the states where these other reality show families live.
California DOES have such a law, which is why Peterson can file a lawsuit against Suleman, but not the other families.
It's time someone shows that they have the interest of these 14 children at heart, because NS certainly doesn't! I'm way out of every shred of sympathy I've ever had for this woman.
So over hearing about her! Everytime something is in print about her she is getting what she wants. Media time and attention. Lets not give her any more of what she wants!
Anon, I think the answer to your question is simple - none of the other couples you mentioned set out to have multiples, but it's become painfully obvious that Suleman DID - she wants to be rich and famous like Angelina Jolie.
Why sue her? How childish and pathetic-is he in need of money that bad? Leave the woman alone-yes she made a very bad decision-but good gosh- let it go-there are other people out in the world that have kid after kid after kid and are on food stamps and medicaid-why not sue them as well!!!
And Peterson is not a money-hungry person trying to exploit the situation? C'mon people. Litigation like this is for 1 reason only, to tug on the heartstrings of people who actually care about children so they can make money. It is just as gross. Leave the lady alone. We have thousands, 10s of thousands or more people in this country who do much worse than that woman. Get over it. Move on.
Actually Peterson personally is not the one suing Octo-mom, the group A Minor Consideration is. His group is an advocate for children in the entertainment buisness. They make it possible for child stars now to grow up having the money they earned as children. When Peterson was about and even up until the late 80's child stars were growing up with parents and agents who robbed them blind often losing everything the child worked for. Parents in California especially can no longer live off their children's incomes. Any money won in this litigation will be set up in trust funds for the children. This group is legit. My brother in law's nephew was in show business as a child and his parents were only entitled to a small percentage of his income as they were his managers. When he turns 18 he will get access to the funds set aside not his parents. This group tries to keep young actors from becoming True Hollywood Family Horror Stories.
I hope she gets penalized so bad she has to give up those children…they deserve a better life than staying with that loser. I think she should be in an institution. Can't stand that woman….can't stand her at all…
Nadya is going into the hospital this weekend to "supposedly" get part of her uterus removed because of fibroid tumors.I think there's more to this claim, especially because Nadya LOVES plastic surgery! I bet she is getting a tummy tuck and breast lift,but she is too afraid to admit it to the media-for fear of more negative backlash.She knows that people will resent her for leaving her 14 kids, in order to get plastic surgery! Pictures don't lie. In a week or two Nadya will look like she instantly lost 30 lbs. She will deny the surgery, claiming she is naturally skinny! Betcha!!!
Nadya is actually going to have surgery this coming weekend to "supposedly" remove part of her uterus, because of fibroid tumors. Honestly, I think there's more to the story. Nadya is addicted to plastic surgery.I believe she is actually getting a tummy tuck and breast lift.She knows that the media would make waves with her leaving her 14 children for plastic surgery when the preemies are so young.Plus plastic surgery is not covered by insurance!That means that Nadya will be spending $20,000+ of her children's funds.I find the timing of this operation to be very telling, just days after Gloria Allred filed a lawsuit to protect these babies funds from Nadya's abusing and depleting all their funds for their future.I hope Gloria gets a copy of the surgery bill and uses it in court, so Nadya has to repay the amount she spent on plastic surgery to her children's funds!She needs to be stopped.She's like a spoiled and self absorbed 12 yr. old, who has her parents credit card.
I am glad that someone is standing up for these children. She is using them. When they grow up they will be nothing but a bunch of Gary Colemans. Had all that talent but the parents sucked the life out of him and his money. They need to take control of the situation now before it gets out of hand. Put away this money. And make sure that she doesn't use it for her own twisted means. Make sure that these children are well taken care of and that they will have a promising future. They already got a raw deal with an irresponsible mother.

BIRNAMWOOD, Wis. (WSAU) -- A school bell that dates back to the late 1800s was returned to Birnamwood in a ceremony on Saturday.
About 100 people were in attendance when the bell was rung to commemorate the opening of the new Birnamwood Community Center.
The bell was used in front of Birnamwood High School until its closure in the 1970s and has been kept in Antigo by a former teacher since. Many community members can still remember when the bell was used regularly and are happy to have it back in the village.

Gainey up 58 spots in world rankings
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Tommy Gainey collected his long awaited first PGA Tour title on Sunday and that victory helped him soar 58 places to No. 125 in this week's world rankings.
Bo Van Pelt won the European Tour event in Australia, but that win gave him just a one spot bump to No. 23 this week.
The top 8 in the rankings remained the same with No. 1 Rory McIlroy followed again by Tiger Woods, Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, Justin Rose, Adam Scott, Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson.
Jason Dufner finished second behind Van Pelt and inched up one to No. 9. That bumped Brandt Snedeker down to 10. Steve Stricker, Louis Oosthuizen and Matt Kuchar remained 11th through 13th. Keegan Bradley and Dustin Johnson exchanged places with Bradley improving to 14th.
Zach Johnson and Phil Mickelson were 16 and 17 again this week, while Sergio Garcia and Graeme McDowell flip-flopped positions with the Spaniard up to 18th. Hunter Mahan again rounded out the top 20 this week.

CHI Good Questions: Good Vintage Store?
Brooke is looking for some shopping info. She writes: Ok... I live in Lincoln Park and am looking for a vintage store to find a good sideboard at a good price.

Chicago vintage shoppers, please share some of your favorite local shops with Brooke in the comments below...

i got a great sideboard this weekend at Edgewater Antique Mall on broadway.
Belmont in Roscoe Village has a least 3 Antique stores with amazing mid century pieces, my fav is the Night and Day Vintage.
if you are looking for a good price Craig's List is the way to go or Search Ebay and narrow your results to places within 50 miles of your location
Who designed the sideboard in the pic. Anyone know?
Hi, check out my vintage shopping guide at Strange Closets for store photos and profiles. It's updated frequently as I make my way across the city.

Vintage Guide
Good luck!
looks like arne vodder to me. the crescent drawers are one of his details...though it was copied. see link for similar:
While you might pay a little more than edgwater or even broadway antique market, White Attic on Clark, I think, has great pieces. The advantage there is that all of the furniture is refinished. While the prices there are a little higher than an antique market, they are a lot lower than some of the other high end vintage furniture stores. If you want some furniture that is a little more industrial, try Scout a few doors down. I bought a cool deco style lamp for 290 and happened to see it a month later an Niemans for 600 dollars! They get some cool things before they become popular. Both Places are great and my two favorite stores.
post 27!!! it's an amazing store on grand and wood with gorgeous mid-century pieces at a reasonable price. the owners are friendly and not at all pretentious. so many treasures there...
healthyhome, thanks. I've seen that sideboard (and pieces like it) a lot but never knew who it was.
Post 27 on Grand and Wood. I know the owners but they really do have nice stuff at completely affordable prices.

OldMex, "Social norms =/= laws" First, not all laws reflect social issues. But to answer your questions: Countertop heights and licensing, no social norm, but a standardization and compentancy law. Blue Laws, yep social - "Thou shalt honor the Sabbath to keep it Holy." Jim Crow laws, though applied in an evil fashion, can be seen as ensuring the electorate is educated enough to understand the issues that candiates are running on (kind of like licensing, this understanding would have been nice this past election).

Locating International Voices
I've been online for more than half my life. That's 11+ years of profiting from most of what the internet has to offer. I'm privileged in that way. Growing up in the '90s, in the states, with a father in the tech industry, my only barrier to getting online was whether or not my high school aged sister would be angry with me if I used the phone line for too long. I spent hours researching my favorite TV shows, my favorite celebrities, my favorite bands. I snuck into chat rooms my parents didn't know existed and met other kids like me looking for ways to escape the boredom of middle school. I had friends I could talk to in Canada, England, Finland.
Looking back I learned a lot from that 28K connection, but it wasn't until I became involved with PulseWire that I came to understand exactly what this access means, or exactly what this access can mean. Up until a few months ago, I hadn't considered the potential for change the internet offers us; I'd never considered the potential for revolution.
I feel like my eyes have been opened. Suddenly, the news I read isn't just the news the US media wants me to see—it's stories direct from The Guatemala Post, from Al Jazeera, from the Zimbabwe Herald . And it's not just news reported by journalists—it's the voices of the citizens living those news stories. It's the writings of 14-year-old Iraqi blogger, Sunshine, and her mother, who simply goes by Mama ; the voice of Nyein Chan Yar in Myanmar; the political urgings of an Ethiopian woman blogger who remains nameless.
I'm excited. I'm excited about the changes that are taking place, about the prospects of Web 2.0, about the opportunities tools like blogs, RSS feeds, and now PulseWire, have to offer. Because while the possibility for connection and knowledge sharing has been out there since the Internet became a reality, it hasn't been this easy for everyone to be heard, in, well, just about ever.
Certainly there are things that need to be done to make it even easier, but that's another blog post. For now, I'd like to invite anyone reading this to share their favorite news sources or favorite blogs for other PulseWire members to check out. I really believe in the power of information sharing, and I hope this will get people away from reading mainstream sources and toward acknowledging the very important voices of those who struggle to be heard.
Lovely Thoughts, Corine!
I myself am a private person, and I know it can be VERY challenging to publish your thoughts for all to see like this... I commend you for taking the leap, and for bypassing self-consciousness on your direct route to authenticity and self-reflection.
I'm delighted that you've found your way to our small community! I feel honored to collaborate with an astute and dedicated young woman like you. I'm also delighted to know that your editorial work brings you personal enrichment AND professional development.
Maria Jett, Online Community Director
since you asked :-)
Here are 2 of my favorites:
The Huffington Post
The Daily Kos
I am looking for a few international news blogs myself...
I mostly use my google reader and subscribe to stuff and read random blogs. I am looking forward to being able to post my rss feed in my journal when the technology becomes available!
I enjoy these sites!
Here are a few sites that are fun to scroll through
At any rate, I really enjoyed your post. As I look through various people's profiles at this company--it occurs to me-- the world pulse squad is composed of an incredibly sincere and passionate body of people. I feel very fortunate to be here, amongst great people.
Thanks for the Compliments!
I, too, am inspired every day by the incredible people I work with. And how fortunate WE are to have you and Cori on the team!

Need help with my kitchen
January 26, 2013 in Design Dilemma
What flooring should I get to go with my countertop that looks like this ??
What's the rest of the kitchen like? How light is it? What units are you going for?
January 26, 2013 at 2:35AM Like
I've chosen this for a flooring and these are what my cabinets will look like. Do you think these go together nicely ?
January 30, 2013 at 8:03AM Like
I have the same feeling as sam0705--the floor tile and countertops match almost perfectly. Right now, all of your selections are a chocolate color, and you need some contrast. For flooring, how about travertine tile? Or a porcelain tile that looks like travertine?
January 30, 2013 at 9:01AM Like
I think you need light color for your flooring, something like Crema Marfil Marble tile or bianco wood Marble tile can be perfect idea.
Chocolate? I think Stoneshop needs some better chocolate. Unless my monitor is displaying colours inaccurately, everything looks very pale grey. I agree with the comments above, I think at least one of the elements needs to provide a contrast otherwise your kitchen could end up looking a bit bland. I would probably suggest a soapstone countertop.
What are your thoughts regarding backsplash and wall colours to go with your kitchen?

For now, It's "just" a nine barreled shotgun. Sometimes, it can be a good alternative to the original one because it's more accurate ( but less powerful ). It's a middleway between the Pistol and the Shotgun.
No, I'm going to change the texture XD
Breakable Crate? Yay! :D
Thanks, the old one was... empty.
Yeah but, in PC, running is useful when you're trying to escape from a large group of enemies. Think about the realism: it's really difficult, in real life, to use a Machinegun or a Shotgun ( or a Rocketlauncher :P ) while running.
Thank you for watching Pegaso Chronicles =D

Top 10 Highlights
If you're eligible for Medicare, you qualify for the Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Benefit. It's that simple. For most people this means that if you're 65 or older – or are on Medicare and Medicaid because of qualifying disabilities – you're eligible for this benefit. Whether or not you choose to take advantage of this benefit is up to you.
To get this benefit, you will choose and apply for a program or "plan" in your area. You don't have to get this benefit – enrollment is your choice. You will receive information on the prescription drug plans in your area that are approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
You will have several different drug plans to choose from. You may also already have some prescription drug coverage through a Medigap insurance policy, or through an employee or retiree benefit. You should figure out what you currently spend on your medicines, and how these different options will affect you.
This new prescription drug benefit is similar to insurance–you pay a premium for the plan you choose, and get specific benefits and coverage for your medications. If you don't take many medications right now, the cost of the premiums plus co-insurance or co-pay (the part you pay out of pocket) may be about what you're paying now. However, there are still several reasons to consider signing up now.
If you are eligible to enroll, there is an advantage to signing up now, even if you don't think you need this amount of coverage. If you wait to pay, your premium (the monthly cost for the plan) will go UP because of a "penalty" clause. You should sign up during the open enrollment period, from November 15th - December 31st, to avoid this penalty. Think about your future drug needs as well as what you take right now.
If you're receiving (or are eligible for) Medicaid assistance from your state as well as Medicare, this new program may help pay your premiums and co-pays. (You might also qualify, if you have low income and assets–contact your state Medicaid office for information.) You have to apply for this additional assistance through your state Medicaid agency. If you qualify for this assistance, you will automatically be assigned to a Prescription Drug Plan in your area.
Just like insurance, if you're paying your premiums and develop a new condition or illness that requires expensive medication, you're covered. Once you satisfy the co-pay and maximum out-of-pocket costs, this plan will pay for almost all of your prescription drug expenses. With the cost of medications to treat certain diseases (like diabetes, heart conditions or cancer), this could be a sizeable amount. What is your peace of mind worth?
The purpose of the Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan is to make your prescriptions more affordable. With the purchasing power of the plans throughout the country, even when you're paying the full cost for your prescription (like when you are meeting your deductible portion) you'll still be getting a discounted price. And if your drug needs increase, you're covered.
With your prescription drug plan, you will be able to choose from a number of approved pharmacies in your area. The drugs that qualify have been government-approved, and are on a list called a "formulary." Some plans will provide a mail order prescription option, so you can have medications delivered to your home. All of these choices are designed to help you save money on the medicines you need.
Each year the open enrollment period is November 15th through December 31st; during which you can choose to change plans. Or, you can stay with the plan where you are enrolled. If you change plans during this annual enrollment period, you won't pay the penalty that those who failed to sign up during the open enrollment period.
