April 15 (Bloomberg) -- Movement on gun control and immigration in the U.S. Senate obscures an inevitable roadblock to either measure: a resistant Republican-run House.
Obstacles in the House of Representatives to expanding background checks for gun-buyers may be enough to scuttle an initiative that President Barack Obama has pressed in the aftermath of the Newtown, Connecticut, school shootings. They also could sidetrack a path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. that the president is seeking. While opinion polls show the public strongly supports both, opposition within the House may be insurmountable.
Because of the bipartisan nature of talks underway on immigration in both chambers, and the Republican Party's need to re-engage with Hispanic voters who backed Obama in November, immigration revisions may stand a stronger chance than gun control. Yet, as Republican strategist Ron Bonjean, puts it: "The House is not going to be steamrolled by the Senate." And even in the Senate, a gun bill isn't ensured of passage.
"You're making a big assumption that there's a bill that actually has bipartisan support at the end of the day," Senator Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican close to House Speaker John Boehner, said in an interview. "I don't think you can conclude that in any way, shape or form."
House Republicans say the Senate's vote on guns last week and the introduction this week of the broadest rewrite of immigration policy in almost 30 years won't serve as the prod that senators and advocates say it will for the House to act.
Immigration Proposal
The Senate voted April 11 to advance an expansion of background checks to debate this week, and a bipartisan group of eight senators plans to unveil immigration legislation tomorrow, Senator Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, said yesterday on ABC's "This Week" program.
"I'm optimistic about it," said Senator Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican in the group offering the immigration plan.
"This bill does three things that are fundamentally important for our country," Rubio said yesterday on CBS's "Face the Nation." "It modernizes our legal immigration system – something we need to do no matter what. It puts in place the toughest enforcement measures in the history of the United States, potentially in the world. And it once and for all deals with the issue of those that are here illegally, but does so in a way that is fair and compassionate."

I'm starting with dessert first in this blog post because this square of honey-soaked pistachio baklava ($1.49) was:
a) incredibly delicious; and,
b) photographed reasonably well.
See those layers of phyllo? They collapse in crisp snaps as you bite through, like a little jackhammer.
Where am I? At Jerusalem Bakery in Alpharetta, where I have come in search of falafel that some think is the best in the metro area.
This spot is a branch of the original Jerusalem Bakery in Marietta, which sells Palestinian pastries and fresh pita breads both wholesale and retail from a small counter.
The Alpharetta location has a pastry counter, a nice selection of groceries and dry goods, and a quick-service deli counter where you can order all kinds of Middle Eastern specialties (falafel, shawarma, hummus) and pizzas.
Before we get to the falafel, let me show you the shawarma spits:
You can kind of see that they offer both chicken and beef — nice looking whole pieces of seasoned meat stacked up and ready to be shaved into a pliant pita.
I promise we'll get to the falafel soon enough, but first I ask you feast your eyes on this za'atar pie ($2.49):
This bubbly, crusty discus comes slathered with green olive oil and the Middle Eastern spice mixture known as za'atar — fresh thyme, sesame seeds, salt and sumac (a coarse powder ground from a purple berry that tastes bright and lemony). The sesame seeds are so impeccably fresh that it makes me realize how often they are rancid elsewhere.
All right, now on to the falafel ($4.95). But, wait, let me first show you the all the salads and condiments you can ask to have rolled up into your sandwich:
I know, it's not a great picture, but you get the idea. This is the real deal, with pickled cabbage, half-sour spears, roasted peppers, olives, a fantastic green chile sauce — all the condiments that would be served on a falafel ordered in Palestine or Israel.
The guy behind the counter fries the falafel balls to order, and then assembles your sandwich as you point and choose.
One interesting side note: in other restaurants, the pita is either split and stuffed or rolled around the falafel. Here it's both. The counter guy carefully peels back the side of one large, floppy pita and inserts the falafel balls inside. He then encloses them like peas in a pod and puts the garnishes on top before rolling the whole thing up like a burrito.
It is a great sandwich, with all kinds of cold, crunchy textures, drippy sauces and still-hot falafel. The falafel balls themselves are bright green with herbs and leave a welcome glow of cumin behind. They taste wonderful. I only wish they had been a little crunchier and cakier in texture.
Would you like to see the sandwich? I was afraid of that. Here is my picture of it in cross section. Worst picture ever?
Appearances aside, have you tried this falafel? Is there any better in town? I've liked those at Pita Palace and Falafel King. I definitely need to try that place in the Perimeter Mall food court that I hear is terrific.

Haven't tried it, but looks delicious!!! Will definitely have to put this on the "to eat" list. I've been hitting up Mediterranean Grill mostly… their hummus is pretty much drool-worthy. The Za'atar looks wonderful.

Mediterranean Grill at either location takes the cake for delicious and inexpensive falafel and gyros, and their baba ganouj is the best in the city. My roommate and I spent over $300 at the Midtown location EACH our last year at Tech (and that's not an exaggeration… their customer rewards card tracks how much you've spent).

As an occasional special Alon's at Perimeter also sells a very good falafel.
November 23rd, 2009

If you want fabulous falafel try OU4U at 1155 Hammond Dr. Roasted veggies are a garlic lovers dream. But most of all, the owners make some of the best authentic food in town. And don't miss the shakshooka dip. Mmmmm.

Aladdin's on Roswell Road has great falafel. Hovan, in the Perimeter Mall Food Court, is a great place to grab a quick bite and their falafel pita is very good as well. Are there any great places to get falafel in Decatur?

jerusalem bakery is awesome. Only been to the one in Marietta, but they have meat and cheese pies, cherry pies, potato pies, and they are all delicious, albeit a bit expensive.

I just lunched on the falafel sandwich at Perimeter Mall's Hovan Gourmet. A sign near the counter proclaims it the "Best in Town" – I can't dispute that, not having visited any of the other places. This one was mighty good, however. A decent meal by itself for $6.

Best grocery hummus I've found is at Publix and also Super Target. Several flavors, in flat dish with red rimmed top. Can't remember the brand name, but the roasted garlic and the jalapeno are both awesome. At the deli counter.

"Shakshooka" describes a whole class of egg and vegetable dishes of the North African Jewish kitchen. Potatoes, cauliflower, zucchini, or other cooked vegetables can also be used.
3 parts tomatoes to 2 parts sweet peppers to 1 part onions
Oil, tomato paste,garlic, Salt and pepper
The above can be simmer slowly uncovered, for about an hour, stirring occasionally. Add enough tomato sauce to "marry" everything together, while keeping the entire consistency very thick.
At this point, the shakshooka can be served alone or over rice or make wells in the sauce and cook eggs.

Alabama Jack, perhaps you can talk Mr. Keesler into doing a "30 Grocery Stores in 30 Days". Restaurants need all the support they can get right now. Keep eating in and buying pre-made preservative filled goods and you will be ready when it's time for you to go.
I'd say to JK you need to consider doing a 365 in 365, there are still plenty of outstanding establishments you have yet to visit.

I have to second the recommendation for OU4U. Their falafel is the best I've ever eaten! They have many other choices as well, and I haven't had something from there that I haven't loved.
November 24th, 2009

Try the veal. It's the best in town.
November 24th, 2009

Alabama jack — Sabra. And you can get it in big containers at BJ's and Costco. It's like 4 containers in one for $6. You can also get single servings at Walmart.
Craig — I agree, and I make my own hummus a lot, without the preservatives, but I know that I can't afford to support restuarants at every meal, and it's not always feasible to make my own. I'll take what I can get when it's good!
November 24th, 2009

Craig, chill out. Not everyone eats out every meal. Some of us can actually cook.

Without question, hands-down, Pita Palace serves the best falafel and schwarma in metro Atlanta. The food tastes great, the meat is of the highest quality (is strictly kosher), and the salads and condiments are self-serve, just like in the Middle East. In addition, they serve a pita sandwich called Pargiot (which I believe is cornished hen) that is to die for. One note – when the guy behind the counter asks if you want your sandwich spicy, be very, very careful.
November 24th, 2009

stop picking on each other. i am going to try a few when I can. end of subject of eating out or not? everyone is trying to help restauranteurs. good info here.

My husband and I drive to the Marietta location sometimes just to buy their pita – its fluffy and we think some of the best in town. We still love the felafel at Mezza becuase it's has a little more seasoning. Mediterranean Bakery (not grill) at Chamblee-Tucker has excellent shwarma and is much much better than Med Grill. Sorry but I see Med Grill as a few steps above fast food.

At OU4U try the eggplant pita sandwich. It's fried eggplant in a pita with hard boiled egg, hummus and salad. It's excellent and very authentic Israeli.

Hey JK – thanks for doing this review. I stopped at The Jerusalem Bakery in Alpharetta this past week and had a delicious piece of baklava. It was deliciously crunchy as you described. I saw the za'atar and wanted to try it- now I will go back real soon.
They need to do more advertising!
November 25th, 2009

Jerusalem Bakery is fabulous and the pistachio baklava is a real treat. Try the Jerusalem Platter – it's got the chicken and beef shwarma and all of the fabulous sides. It's nice to hear both Arabic and Hebrew too and the staff is super friendly and really nice.

The orange mango pickle condiment from Israel mentioned by John Kessler is called ambah (pardon the spelling). It is great on schwerma.

I have to agree that OU 4 U has the best falafel I've ever had. I have loved everything I have tried there. They catered a meeting for me recently and people are still talking about how great the food was!
December 3rd, 2009

OU 4 U not only has the best falafel it has delicious soups made fresh everyday as well as a vegetable sandwich that is literally to die for. Try it!

How To Turn Your Book Into A Bestseller
Judy A. Kessinger
Everyone loves a good book. Whether it is fiction, autobiography, comedy or just reading about your favorite subject, getting your book in front of readers and having it become a bestseller is one of the keys to successful writing. It isn't as difficult as you might think, but it will be worth it once you see you name in print on the next bestseller list!
Darcie Chan is one author who knows the trials of getting her book "The Mill River Recluse" out to readers. She sent queries to more than 100 literary agents and most rejected it. Darcy Chan eventually opted to self-publish and promote "The Mill River Recluse". She bought some ads on websites that target e-book readers, paid for a review and priced her book at 99 cents to encourage readers to try it. Her strategy worked. She is now receiving a steady stream of monthly income. To date Darcie Chan has sold about 413,000 copies and has made around $113,000 before taxes.
Here are tips on how you can become successful with a self-published book:
1) Hire an editor. They will be able to pinpoint things such as errors in spelling, punctuation, etc. that may not occur to a new writer. An editor will go over your entire manuscript with a fine tooth comb and make sure you are being presented in the best possible light for readers who choose to purchase your books now and in the future. They will be a godsend for any new author to consider.
2) Choose a great title. This will draw someone to your book and want to purchase it for themselves or for someone as a gift. Keywords and tags are another selling point to draw the reader in and will give them something to catch their imagination. In addition the title needs to make the reader want to know what the pages hold and keep them interested until the very last page.
3) Create an eye catching book cover. You want it to stand out and correspond to what the book is about. Some of the most memorable covers are one you don't expect but once you read the book you go back to it again and again and refer it to others.
4) Get a book review. This lends credibility to not only the book but also to the author. Many readers may buy your book based only on the reviews they have read and nothing more.
Kindle Direct Publishing
If you've decided to sell your book on Kindle, you will want to look at a couple of things for success. First, look at it from the buyer's perspective and how they will find out about your book. Secondly consider the price point and make it affordable for your readers and still be able to make a profit. Last but not least make sure you have double checked everything before it is available to the public so there are no last minute "oops" you may come across.
Choose the right book category
Look at how advertising is done to reach the widest audience and target your book in a similar manner. You will reach more people and have it available for those who are seeking out what you have written. Having your book placed in the appropriate area (such as fiction, biography, etc.) means customers will find your book quicker than if it is randomly placed just anywhere.
Twitter is another popular way to promote your book. Utilize all the available information there such as the hashtag and decide on a landing page so readers will be drawn to your book.
Email Marketing
With email you can offer sample chapters or instructional videos for those who sign up to receive more information regarding your book. You can send multiple emails at once as a way to reach many people and get them interested in your writing and have everyone talking about the newest book on the market.
Use Signature Line
Creating a signature line will say something that will make people want to find out more about your book. Carefully craft every part to describes you & your book. For example:
Sally Smith
Author "Book Title Here"
Website: www.mybookwebsite.com
Follow Me: www.twitter/mybookfanpage | www.facebook.com/mybookfanpage
Remember to include your signature line at the end of email messages and whenever you comment on blogs, reader forums, Facebook groups, etc.
Competitively Price Your Book
You may have read John Locke's book "How I Sold 1 Million eBooks In 5 Months." He priced some of his books at 99 cents and found that by doing so on the older titles it worked to his advantage and by pricing the newest books at $2.99 and up this strategy gave him a better percentage of the profits. Make sure that a brand new book is not placed in the bargain bin especially when it is a good read.
As you can see there are many ways to turn your book into a bestseller. These are just a few and once you begin writing and selling books, you will come across many other ideas. Your success will become worth the time and effort you have put in when you see your book(s) turn into bestsellers each and every time. Seek out other authors who have become successful in their own right and find out what ideas they may have. You may find that this process is much easier when you have others' guidance and encouragement.
Good Luck!

Smoking meant a lot to her sometimes. She worked very hard and it had some ability to rest and relax her psychologically. She was a widow and she had no close relatives to write to in the evenings, and more than one moving picture a week hurt her eyes, so smoking had come to be an important punctuation mark in the long sentence of a day on the road."

Voyager Knit Seaglass Print Top 7 7
Lovely huge blouse This is a gorgeous blouse. The fabric is beautiful and comfortable, but the blouse runs very,very large. I normally wear a medium but had to buy a large because the smaller sizes were sold out. In this blouse, I would need a petite small. I am keeping this one and will try to think of a creative way to alter it, because the fabric is so pretty! July 30, 2014
Beautiful colors, flattering shape I normally wear a size 14 large in tops or shirts. The large was way too large so I sent it back and got a medium which fits just great. The colors are beautiful and it drapes just right. Hugs the hips without being too snug. Or you can hike the bottom up to your waist for a blousier look. The material is soft and slinky without being too clingy. It will look great as a dressy top or casual wear. I am happy with this purchase. May 13, 2014
Comfortable I ordered XL and it was too big, sent it back and got L. Perfect fit! Very colorful and fun to wear. May 29, 2014
odd plastic band sewn in at waist I normally love the Voyager Knit shirts and this seaglass print was gorgeous! However, there was an odd plastic band sewn into the bottom quarter of the shirt, which made it fall oddly around my waist and hips, so I had to return it. :( May 7, 2014
Love this shirt I really love this shirt but I did have to return it for a smaller size because it runs big. I usually wear a medium but needed a small. May 8, 2014
Love, love, love This is a great top. It is stylish and does not wrinkle (no matter what you do to it). I just wish it wasn't so expensive. May 1, 2014
Like it, but large neck opening Loved this top when I saw it and when I tried it on ... bright colors pop and style is flattering to my apple shape. However, neck opening and chest very large. I returned the XL for a L ... I hope it fits my tummy! April 26, 2014

If you could meet your kid self, what would you say to him or her? Do you think he/she would be proud to meet you?
My papa always told me "Maria, everything happens for a reason. God has the perfect plan for you, just believe in yourself" and I could never fully grasp what he meant. Today, as a college student aspiring to dreams bigger than myself, I understand what he means. I understand that every small and big moment in my life that hurt me led to greater achievements. I wish I could go back and tell myself "Don't worry so much!"

A. I would tell my child self to speak up more and that she will not remain an extremely shy, self-conscious child; that she should focus on personal growth and spirituality throughout her life. That all the adversities she will experience in life will prepare her for even bigger future challenges, and that it will all be worthwhile. I think she would be amazed to meet me to see how so many aspects of her being develop as a mature adult.

Clemson Football: Recapping the Biggest 2014 Offseason News so Far
The Clemson Tigers are coming off one of the most successful periods in school history. For just the second time since the school began play in 1896, the Tigers have reeled off three straight 10-win seasons.
So naturally, much of the talk around Death Valley relates to Clemson's recent success.
However, this offseason has been more about what Clemson must replace to repeat that type of success versus enjoying what the program has built.
Tajh Boyd, arguably the greatest quarterback in school history, is gone. So is Sammy Watkins, one of the best offensive players in the history of the ACC.
Senior Cole Stoudt gets the first crack at replacing Boyd. Can he hold off true freshman Deshaun Watson?
Here is a look at four of the top news items of the 2014 offseason for the Clemson Tigers.
How Sound Mind, Sound Body Football Camp Evolved into One of Nation's Best Camps
Detroit is a fitting backdrop for the 10th annual Sound Mind, Sound Body football camp, which kicks off Thursday, June 12.
After all, the camp was founded in 2004 by Motor City native Curtis Blackwell as an integral part of his nonprofit organization—the Lifting As We Climb Foundation.
The foundation's primary goal was to enhance college opportunities for young athletes and reverse negative trends—such as the 25 percent high school graduation rate, according to the Associated Press (via Fox News)—that existed in his hometown at the time.
What began as a local camp spread across the state of Michigan, into the Midwest and now will play host to some of the nation's top prospects from across the country.
Over the last decade, SMSB has helped more than 1,000 student-athletes earn college scholarships—with current NFL players such as Nick Perry, William Campbell and Johnathan Hankins counted as SMSB alums.
But how did SMSB expand, and what makes it different from the number of camps popping up across the country?
As Blackwell's childhood friend and fellow Detroit native Chanterius Brock—who serves as the Director of Player Recruiting for SMSB—describes it, the camp's fabric is heavily influenced by what the two friends and alumni of Detroit's Martin Luther King High School witnessed growing up.
"In a city like Detroit, it's about trying to identify any and all opportunities to teach these kids before it's too late," Brock said. "They can't see the tangible reality that is there for them if they work hard and apply themselves academically, trust in God, respect people and others and themselves. These are the skills that are lacking."
Brock recalls seeing plenty of talented athletes fail to capitalize on the chance to make it to college, and it wasn't because of a lack of athletic ability.
"We (Detroit players) were underachieving in terms of the gap between talent and actual success as student-athletes," Brock stated. "The best players that I've played with and against and coached, these aren't the kids that are playing Division I football or the ones who went on to have the most successful careers."
When he went off to play his college ball in Tennessee, Brock bristled when classmates would tell him about the superiority of football in the South.
In his mind, the opportunities for success weren't equal because the commitment to football in the two regions was vastly different. That's where he and Blackwell worked to bridge the gap with SMSB.
"My thing was that we knew we had talent, but we just lacked the resources," Brock said. "So I said to myself, 'when I go home, I want to be able to provide those resources to kids like myself who didn't have them.' It was kind of like a divine type of thing for us (he and Blackwell) to connect because our visions were so similar."
Together, they developed a term for their strategy in unifying their vision—"aggressive creativity."
On a small scale, Brock—who spent time in Detroit as an assistant coach on the prep level—set out to establish opportunities for the kids he was coaching. Meanwhile, Blackwell's focus was on networking and cultivating relationships with high school and college coaches, as well as with administrators on the college level.
The first major project put together was a winter camp dubbed the "Michigan Football Showcase" in February 2007 at the University of Michigan.
"We had about 400 or 500 prospects at that showcase," Brock said. "That was really our inlet when it came to building relationships with schools and coaches. Kids came from all over the Midwest. That kind of surprised us, that we could get kids from out of town. That's when it flipped for Sound Mind, Sound Body."
However, their breakthrough moment on the national recruiting scene didn't come until they were able to add one element that separates their camp from the litany of similar ones across the country.
Blackwell's background as an intern with the NCAA and the American Football Coaches Association helped him develop relationships that contributed to the expansion of SMSB.
Furthermore, his role in managing and understanding compliance rules and regulations was critical in getting college coaches to actively participate in the SMSB camp a few years ago.
"First, the original battle was getting coaches and schools to recognize that it was legal," Brock said. "Once they understood that and got things cleared with NCAA compliance, we were getting more and more schools who wanted to be a part of it."
Once college coaches were on board, that helped SMSB lure top prospects from all over the country.
Additionally, landing a sponsor such as Adidas three years ago further established SMSB as a marquee event in recruiting circles.
"Adidas has come on board and been a great sponsor in terms of providing uniforms and cleats to every kid at the camp," Brock said. "That's been a huge partnership for us."
This year, SMSB will feature more than 200 college coaches in attendance—including Michigan's Brady Hoke, Michigan State's Mark Dantonio and Penn State's James Franklin. This year's camp will feature hundreds of prospects from around the country, including 5-star standouts such as Jashon Cornell and Preston Williams.
Over the two-day camp, in addition to hearing from and being mentored by camp counselors such as former NFL great Jerome Bettis and current Broncos defensive lineman and SMSB-alum Kevin Vickerson, student-athletes will go through training sessions on topics ranging from NCAA eligibility to conflict resolution.
With the presence of the college coaching community and the multiple training sessions designed to teach invaluable life skills, SMSB has transformed into a unique camping experience.
The camp is now a self-sufficient brand that is thriving, even after Blackwell left his post as camp director last August for a position on Dantonio's staff at Michigan State.
Brock marvels at the success stories that have emerged from SMSB. In returning to its Detroit roots, this year's camp will be a celebration of an event that has turned into a source of pride for the Motor City.
"We try to teach these kids that as they continue to climb, grow and get better and have success, we want to make sure that you are reaching back and lifting up the next man," Brock said.

Does Big 12 Football Have Any Legit Heisman Candidates for 2014 Season?
The last Heisman Trophy winner to come from the Big 12 was Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III in 2011. As a whole, the conference has had five winners—Ricky Williams, Eric Crouch, Jason White, Sam Bradford and RGIII—since its inception in 1996.
With that said, the Big 12 in 2014-15 seems to be lacking a good list of legitimate Heisman contenders, with only three guys that could honestly be brought into the conversation.
At the top of the list is Baylor signal-caller Bryce Petty, who tore up defenses last season en route to a conference title.
With that, let's look at the Big 12's best chances to grab a Heisman in the upcoming season.
Joker Phillips Resigns as Florida Assistant Coach: Latest Reports and Analysis
Florida wide receivers coach Joker Phillips abruptly resigned Wednesday afternoon, a move that left many in Gainesville scratching their heads and trying to find a reason.
Phillips, 51, has been with the Gators since 2012. In addition to his assistant-coaching duties, he served as the team's recruiting coordinator. Phillips previously spent a decade at Kentucky, first as a position coach and recruiting coordinator before a three-year stint as head coach. The Wildcats fired him after the 2012 season, having compiled a 13-24 record in his three seasons, including a 4-20 mark in the SEC.
In a statement released by the university early Wednesday, Phillips cited "personal reasons" for his decision to step down.
"I'm thankful for the opportunity that the University of Florida and Will Muschamp provided to me and my family, but at this time I have decided to step down from my position on the UF coaching staff for personal reasons,'' Phillips said.
ESPN's Brett McMurphy initially reported that possible recruiting violations led head coach Will Muschamp to force Phillips' resignation but later backtracked:
McMurphy did not recant his claim of recruiting violations being at the heart of his departure, but there were not any reports on their severity. Kentucky self-reported incidents involving Phillips in both 2012 and 2013. Both were minor in nature, dealing with text-messaging prospective recruits.
Phillips will be replaced by former Gators quarterback Chris Leak. Leak, who helped lead Florida to its 2006 national championship under Urban Meyer, was an offensive quality control coach as a graduate assistant in 2013. The 29-year-old retired from his playing career in 2012 and has seen his star quickly rise since joining Muschamp's staff.
"Chris is a bright young coach," Muschamp said. "He is one of the all-time Gator greats and being at Florida is very important to him. He has been working with coach Roper and our offensive staff and is very familiar with our players and new system."
Whether recruit-related or not, the Phillips fiasco is just the latest controversy for the increasingly embattled Florida program. Muschamp enters 2014 with perhaps the hottest seat in the entire nation. The Gators are coming off a dreadful 4-8 campaign, their first losing campaign since 1979. Many expected Muschamp to be fired after last season, but he was brought back as the Gators instead made major changes to his staff.
Most notably, Florida hired Kurt Roper as offensive coordinator in an effort to fix its dilapidated offense. The Gators averaged only 18.8 points per game in 2013, good for 112th nationally. Roper, who most recently served as a quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator at Duke, will attempt to recharge the Gators' batteries with a no-huddle system.
Leak and Roper have worked closely together throughout the spring, so Phillips' resignation might create an even more cohesive staff. From the outside looking in, though, it's just the latest fiasco for a program that already came into the offseason teetering on the edge.
With the Gators home opener against Idaho less than three months away, Muschamp will need to nip the speculation in the bud and move on quickly before what is undoubtedly the most important season of his young coaching career gets underway.

5 Burning Questions in 5-Star CB Torrance Gibson's Recruitment
Torrance Gibson is one of the hottest commodities on the recruiting trail.
At 6'4" and 200 pounds, the 5-star dual-threat quarterback is from Florida. He is a bit raw with his mechanics and other mental parts of the quarterback position, but he has a high ceiling.
Gibson's recruitment has a wealth of people on the edge of their seats. The following questions are the most burning ones that need answers.
Uncommitted 2015 Recruits Sure to Leave Big Ten Country for SEC Football
The main heartbeat of the Big Ten's recruiting trail goes through the Midwest. States in the region make up "Big Ten Country," but SEC football powerhouses are not afraid to pluck players from this area.
While Big Ten studs such as Ohio State and Michigan do all they can to keep top recruits close to home, several 2015 prospects appear to be eyeing leaving the Midwest to play in the SEC.
A 5-star defensive end from Illinois may head to Missouri, while Florida is trying to sign a 4-star athlete from Ohio. Speaking of Ohio, both Alabama and Auburn are on the trail of one of the state's 4-star running backs.
Penn State Recruiting: 5 Commits and Top Targets to Watch at the Opening
Held by Nike, The Opening is a high school combine of sorts that places the country's elite prospects against one another in various competitions and drills, including a seven-on-seven tournament.
With the success that James Franklin has had on the recruiting trail, Penn State will be well-represented in Oregon when The Opening kicks off on July 5.
Here's a list of prospects with Nittany Lion ties who will be competing in The Opening!
College Football's 10 Most Underrated Players
Not everyone can be a star, at least nationally.
For every Johnny Manziel or Jadeveon Clowney who claims the spotlight, there are dozens of other college football players who play at a high level every week. But, for whatever reason, many of those players just don't get the recognition they deserve.
These are the underrated players of major college football.
So it's time to put together a list of 10 of those underrated players. Of course, this list is going to exclude even more players, who are then, in turn, super underrated.
Can't please everyone.
Anyway, which players make the list of the most underrated? The answers are in the following slides.

Eli Roth Is Set To Direct Again For THE GREEN INFERNO!!
The Kidd here...
Coming out of Cannes, Eli Roth is set to return to the director's chair for the first time in five years, having locked up a deal for THE GREEN INFERNO. What is THE GREEN INFERNO exactly? Roth isn't saying, and he's keeping those details under wraps for the time being, but the horror film is set to start shooting this fall in Peru and Chile. But this would mark the first time he's been behind the camera for a full-length feature since HOSTEL II. Does this mean we're not getting THANKSGIVING anytime soon?

This sounds EXACTLY like Eli Roth so I completely believe you. cabin Fever had SOME interesting qualities...but was almost entirely a bullshit patchwork of other films highlighted by disgusting immorality. Hostel was total trash with bad effects and, like cabin Fever, immoral central characters. I thought Hostel II worked better because it had better effects, more sympathetic victims and a more focused storyline.....but ultimately still bullshit I can barely remember and have no interest in ever seeing again.

I don't know how Eli Roth got started.
by Jaster Mareel
I don't know if he's someone's nephew or what. It's certainly not because he has talent, this we all know. Cabin Fever made a splash because it reheated elements of classic film which teens of the time didn't know about, while at the same time "pushing the envelope" on gore and shitty characters. The idea of letting things go too far because you think others can handle it then it getting too late to help yourself is a good one used in many horror films and that's really the glue that holds Cabin Fever together. It also works because it feels like something, despite all the bizarre shit on display, could possibly happen. I thought there was enough onscreen that perhaps Eli could grow and become a passable horror director. He at least seemed to love the genre. Unfortunately, despite an EXCELLENT premise by The Big Red One, he focused on all the wrong areas and proved he really didn't know what the fuck he was doing. That film was successful based on the premise and the tits on display. Just being honest. Hostel II was unsuccessful because despite fixing some of the problems from the first film, it just felt like more of the same and most people had only gone to see the first one because of the intrigueing premise and the rumours about some of the more outlandish gore scenes, the eyeball for example. Since then he hasn't really done shit and we should all be thankful for that. Now it seems he's going right back to making the same mistakes he did before.
May 17, 2012, 3:35 p.m. CST
I think he means that the characters...

Cabin Fever
by ScaryJim
Is a fucking spoof. I won't defend anything else Roth has done because it's derivative but Cabin Fever had wacky Lynchian characters, random mentalness, some slightly squeamish bits and as someone put it ( might have been AICN) has the hilarious premise of teen sex comedy characters ending up in a horror film. I can understand if people were a bit upset because they thought it was going to be some hardcore nasty-fest but I liked it for what it was, yeah Hostels were disappointing. I can't get behind 'derp, they had no morals' though. If you want that watch some french horror films, they love torturing people for no reason- oh you can't, too much reading.

A possible Cannibal Holocaust sequel or reimagining.
by Seth Gecko
He rates CH as one of his favourite films ever. I am going to take a guess here and suggest it is a film about the making of with actors recreating the experience. The making of is almost as shocking as the film itself. All the main actors have disowned the film and Deodato was nearly jailed because people were convinced it was a snuff film. It is the most intense film ever made IMO. Never again will it be matched. Irreversible and Cannibal holocaust are simply two of the most pure films ever put to camera. Both have unmatched power to shock and question our morality. So convincing are they, that you forget you are watching a movie. Eli knows Deodato very well and anyone who has seen Hostel 2 knows he played the cannibal eating that poor bastard at the dinner table. I think it is a fair bet he and Deodato are writing this together.

The best thing Roth ever worked on was that Thanksgiving trailer, and he didn't even follow up with the actual film. Hell, he even got a chance to adapt a sophisticated yet gory STEPHEN KING ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE NOVEL, but passed on it at the last minute. This dude needs to come forward and actually make a good film or quit.

I've been tempted a couple of times, but hearing from several sources that a big portion of the running time is just torturing and killing animals (for real) put it firmly in the =no fuckin' way= column.

I like Cabin Fever a lot (and Thanksgiving trailer rocks, too) but more torture porn? I thought that shit was done with.

Please, Roth, do something Not Torture Porn-y. I see glimpses of something better.

I wonder if this will be a sci-fi, because he was working on one I know that. Maybe it will be a sci-fi/horror, like say 'Alien'...

I only remember the pancake karate scene...
by Darth Macchio
...which was quite awesome actually. If the entire movie consisted of just that one scene, it would have been far more memorable as a whole. The rest? Hmmm....a dog right? And a blonde girl? Loud guys and a truck? Woods...I definitely remember woods. And a cave too I think? They should have cast Bana as the 'Bear Jew' in Basterds...I think the low angle filming of Roth is because he's actually only a little taller than midget. But I've never met the guy so maybe he's actually shorter than a midget.

@nice marmot and @wrath_of_fett, I agree with you guys.
by kevred
CH is one of those 'never should have happened, and hopefully never will again' kinds of things. Between the advances in CG, the transparency of social media, and general notions of what's acceptable, I hope that something like CH would never be attempted again, or never be allowed if attempted.

Cabin Fever was Black Comedy at best. That being said, Awful Movie.
by Stalkeye
With a running gag (Involving the N-Word) that was beyond sophomoric and just plain stupid (kinda like Transfformers 2.) CH had it's moments like crazy ass Dennis and the scene in which some asswipe purs listerine on his Dick after screwing some chick who got infected by the flesh eating virus. Other than that, it was underperforming and Roth's Cinema Career should have ended right there.

Hey guys, interesting fact...
by Jon Forbing
I don't read Deadline.com. I bet a lot of people who come here don't. AICN's job is to put up things that they think their readers will find interesting. Sometimes they get their info from exclusives, sometimes from other websites, sometimes from industry rumors, etc. If everyone read every movie site (which apparently some of you super-cool guys do), then each story could only be reported once. That's not the way it works, you fucking retard geeks.
May 19, 2012, 12:08 a.m. CST
hey tjcool interesting fact- AICN still hasn't posted the trailer for The Lords Of Salem
by TheJudger
which now has 33,000 views on youtube, and unlike this horror remake. I know. I know it will be a horror masterpiece and an original film. I honestly am pretty damned bummed that aicn didn't post something about the trailer here, but hey that ship sailed, trust me. the film will find the audience and i have no doubt no doubt whatsoever that it surprise horror fans. this is rob step up from the devils rejects, just you watch... fuck do you see some of the red hues ans suspiira and kubrickian like es it has. I don/t want to compare, compare is to fail. I just want to believe that again the world underestimates robs ability to make entertaining films.

I prefer this to regular sugar now. It has a more complex flavor and isn't as sickly sweet. As it says you can substitute 1:1 but I haven't tried it myself. Not being as sweet adjustments might have to be made. It is delicious on cereal or porridge though and only the tiniest sprinkling is needed.

A nice product but be aware that it is not white in color as you might expect from coconut meat so does not replace white sugar. It is produced from the flower part of the palm and is brown, very close to date sugar in taste, with the same sort of grainy texture. A good product nevertheless.

I'm Greg McBride with Bankrate.com and here is your weekly look at mortgage rates.
There was more modest movement from mortgage rates this week. The benchmark 30-year fixed rate mortgage increased for the second week in a row to 3.81 percent. But this is still lower than where rates were as recently as the 4th of July.
Rates for the 15-year fixed rate mortgage and the larger jumbo 30-year mortgage reversed course from last week, with the average 15-year fixed rate ticking up to the 3 percent mark while the jumbo 30-year rate settled back at 4.38 percent.
Adjustable rates were all over the map, with the 1-year ARM moving down to 3 percent, the 3-year ARM moving up to 2.98 percent, and the 5-year holding steady at 2.91 percent.
A better than expected jobs report for the month of July put a floor under bond yields and mortgage rates this week. With investors no longer feeling as if the sky is falling, at least temporarily, fixed mortgage rates did move a tad higher. Should the better economic news continue, it would keep further Fed stimulus at bay, and likely push up rates a bit more, so stay tuned.
The last time 30-year mortgage rates were above 6 percent was Nov. 2008. But despite years of ultra-low mortgage rates, its still important to shop around for the best mortgage deal. To find the lowest mortgage rates in your area, use the free search engine at Bankrate.com.

STABLE Bowling is simply an entire bowling alley built on a variation of our Marine Stabilised Platform. The alleys need to be oriented in the aft-fore direction of the ship. Our system only stabilises the rolling movements. The pitch movements are usually not significant enough to affect the game. The bowling platform is about 25m (82ft) long, width is about 3m (10ft). Each platform carries two alleys, including the approach, pin handling and bowl return mechanism.

The technology our Marine Stabilised Platform. It has proven its value through one of the most demanding applications in terms of responsiveness and accuracy: STABLE Billiard.

Cost Cutting Measures Should Push EOG Resources Higher
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
For the last two years EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG) has been an aggressive growth story, and on Tuesday it hit multi-year highs following its earning report. Yet, because of its valuation and its implied growth, the company is still presenting value, despite trading at these highs.
EOG Resources is a company that has consistently improved its revenue, but has been somewhat inconsistent in regards to profit. Though the company's recent quarter destroyed expectations, its net profit still fell 34% compared to the same quarter last year.
Energy has been one of the most important topics of the recent presidential race, and there were many investors who were uncertain of their outlook for energy companies. On Monday, EOG Resources put much of these concerns to rest, and provided some very encouraging guidance.
The $32 billion company has been plagued with higher costs, but announced that it plans to spend less on "money-losing" drilling in the next year. Some have viewed this statement as a way of the company being conservative, but others see it as a sign of long-term certainty.
As a result of EOG's cost-cutting measures, the likelihood for significant bottom line growth is great. The company has continued to modify the completion techniques in its Eagle Ford, Bakken, Three Forks, Wolfcamp, and Leonard plays. Then when you incorporate a 45% rise in production with more efficient drilling, I think it's safe to assume that EOG's future is looking bright.
There are, of course, other great plays in the space; for instance companies such as Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation (NYSE: COG) are very popular. This is a company that has managed to grow its bottom line by 30% year-over-year, but its revenue is growing by less than 15%. Therefore, despite EOG being a much larger company, it is growing faster than Cabot.
Cabot Oil has been one of the better performing energy stocks of the last decade, with a 1,200% gain. The company trades with a P/E ratio of 87.29 and a forward ratio of 41.03, therefore implying that earnings are expected to double over the course of 12 months. However, with EOG announcing significant cost cutting measures I believe it is the better stock, and among the best in the entire sector.
A forward ratio of 21.01 for a company such as EOG Resources is a good bargain. The company's improvements over the next year could push EOG into uncharted territory. The bottom line is that it's a safe and secure company that is moving forward in an energy sector that is plagued with uncertainty. Therefore, I find it difficult to understand why anyone would want to invest in a questionable company in this sector, such as Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK).
A company such as EOG is worth the 3x premium compared to sales, and is certainly more worthwhile when compared to a company such as Chesapeake, because of what it offers investors. Much of the energy industry depends on government policy, and EOG appears to be marching to the beat of its own drum. Take into consideration that EOG and Chesapeake are near equal in terms of revenue. However, Chesapeake has more than double the amount of debt, and is seeing significant fundamental declines, while EOG continues to excel in all fundamental metrics, and is now cutting costs to improve its bottom line performance.
In my opinion, with there being so much uncertainty in the market, it makes sense to pay more for a well-established company with a bright future. The market has a history of rewarding fast-growing and efficient energy companies that manage to cut costs and maintain growth. And at this point, I see no reason to believe that EOG's growth will not continue, and for the first time, it just might see consistent bottom line performance to match its impressive sales growth.

The Motley Fool has the following options: long JAN 2013 $16.00 calls on Chesapeake Energy, long JAN 2014 $20.00 calls on Chesapeake Energy, long JAN 2014 $30.00 calls on Chesapeake Energy, and short JAN 2014 $15.00 puts on Chesapeake Energy.

My go to quick dessert recipe. I use whole eggs instead of egg substitute instead (its usually what I have around the house).
Butterscotch Blondies
Becky Luigart-Stayner
We wanted just enough salt to heighten the flavor, so we opted for unsalted butter. Browning the butter deepens its flavor and, when combined with brown sugar, creates the butterscotch taste.

year = {1998}
In this paper, we give two explicit constructions of extractors, both of which work for a source of any min-entropy on strings of length n. The first extracts any constant fraction of the min-entropy using O(log 2 n) additional random bits. The second extracts all the min-entropy using O(log 3 n) additional random bits. Both constructions use fewer truly random bits than any previous construction which works for all min-entropies and extracts a constant fraction of the min-entropy. The extractors are obtained by observing that a weaker notion of "combinatorial design" suffices for the Nisan--Wigderson pseudorandom generator [NW94], which underlies the recent extractor of Trevisan [Tre98]. We give near-optimal constructions of such "weak designs" which achieve much better parameters than possible with the notion of designs used by Nisan--Wigderson and Trevisan. 1 Introduction Roughly speaking, an extractor is a function which extracts truly random bits from a weakly random source,...

PHILADELPHIA -- The Portland Trail Blazers nearly shot their way into the NBA record book.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 20 points and 16 rebounds, Nicolas Batum added 17 points and the Trail Blazers set a franchise record for 3-pointers with 21 in their 139-105 victory over the skidding Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.
Damian Lillard scored 16 and Dorell Wright had 15 on 5-for-5 shooting from beyond the arc. Wesley Matthews added 14 points for the Northwest Division leaders, who won their third in a row and improved to 20-4.
They became the second NBA team to reach 20 wins, joining the Indiana Pacers (20-3).
"Everyone is taking shots with confidence," Wright said. "It doesn't surprise me when guys are making shots like that because we have a lot of great shooters."
Mo Williams also had 14 points, Robin Lopez 12 and Thomas Robinson 10 for Portland, which put eight players in double figures and moved to 10-2 on the road.
The Trail Blazers broke their club record for 3-pointers for the second time in eight days after hitting 17 against Utah on Dec. 6.
In the process, they racked up 139 points, the most by any team in the league this season. The Los Angeles Clippers scored 137 against the Houston Rockets on Nov. 4.
Portland fell two 3-pointers shy of the NBA mark for a game.
"I know we made a lot of 3s and it was all in the flow of the game," Lillard said. "Guys made good plays to get guys looks and we've got good shooters."
Tony Wroten led the reeling Sixers with 18 points and Hollis Thompson had 17. Spencer Hawes added 16, Thaddeus Young had 15 and James Anderson 14.
Playing once again without rookie point guard Michael Carter-Williams, the Sixers have dropped six straight and 10 of the last 11 games. Carter-Williams sat out for the sixth consecutive game because of a skin infection on his right knee.
The Sixers are 1-9 without Carter-Williams, the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for October and November.
"I want to leave it far behind -- really, really far behind," 76ers coach Brett Brown said of the loss.
Portland broke open a close game with some stellar shooting, especially from beyond the arc.
The Trail Blazers hit 11 of their first 20 tries from 3-point range and were 18 for 32 by the end of the third quarter for a 111-79 lead. Wright hit No. 18 to break the team record as the third-quarter buzzer sounded.
"This is one of those games where they were making all their shots and all we can do sometimes is throw our hands up," Young said. "It's like, 'What else is there to do?"'
It was the latest record-setting performance for the streaking Blazers. In their previous game two nights ago, a 111-104 victory over Houston, Aldridge posted the first 30-point, 25-rebound game in franchise history.
This time, the Trail Blazers didn't need nearly as much from Aldridge with such a balanced effort up and down the lineup.
"We've got good shooters," coach Terry Stotts said. "They have a track record of being good shooters."
The Sixers never posed a serious threat in the fourth.
The Blazers led by as many as seven points in the first half and wound up with a 71-64 advantage heading into the locker room.
NOTES: Wroten was whistled for a technical foul with 8:36 remaining in the third quarter. ... The 71 points allowed in the first marked the most given up by the Sixers in any half this season. ... Aldridge had a double-double for the fifth time in the last six games. ... Sixers C Daniel Orton and Trail Blazers C Meyers Leonard got tangled up on the floor and both were ejected with 7:19 left. ... Former Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook attended the game.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

MCN says:
New patents show that Honda is developing a new low-cost, high-spec naked bike around its venerable – but legendary – VFR800 V4 engine.
The bike's overall design is hinted at in an innocuous-sounding patent titled "Hollow-welded assembled frame structure", which refers to a fairly technical aspect of how a steel trellis frame can be made.
What's interesting about the patent isn't so...

I actually own a vfr1200 crosstourer, its quite a good bike, but over heavy, suspension a bit too soft, seat not great, and its riding position too small for someone with 34inch legs.
However its a really good engine, its stable, goes like stink, and you can get the pegs down quite safely if you tighten up the suspension. Also for two up its the best bike I have ever ridden, I often take a 6' 3' mate on the back and I hardly notice he there.
Honda need to make something lighter, a bit more room and adjustable bars, pegs and seat. and give it some soul. .
