Hormones Gone Haywire?
You've Got Flaky, Itchy Skin
Dry patches are one of the first signs that your thyroid hormone level is low. "These hormones help set your metabolic rate; when you don't have enough, all systems become sluggish," says John Randolph, MD, an ob-gyn and a reproductive endocrinologist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The rate at which your skin cells turn over slows, resulting in dryness, redness, and rashes.
Treat it. See your doc if your skin is still desert dry after a month of slathering it with moisturizer, especially if you notice any other signs of an underactive thyroid, such as unexplained weight gain, brittle nails and hair, or if your periods become irregular or MIA, Dr. Isaacs says. He or she will give you a simple blood test to diagnose the disorder, which is usually treated with a synthetic hormone medication that you will need to take long-term. "Skin symptoms should clear up within two to three months," Dr. Isaacs says.You've Put on Extra Pounds for No Apparent Reason
Lack of zzz's may be affecting your appetite hormones. A new study published in Sleep found that after snoozing for only four hours a night, levels of glucagon-like peptide 1, a hormone that controls satiety, decreased in women. "When you don't feel full, you tend to just keep eating," says study author Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD. In fact, another of her studies showed that women down an average of 329 more calories on days they don't get sufficient sleep.
Treat it. Log adequate pillow time -- seven to nine hours a night. And start your day with protein-packed eats to keep hunger hormones in check. Overweight women who ate an egg-and-beef-sausage breakfast consumed 135 fewer calories from evening snacks than those who started their day with a bowl of cereal that had the same number of calories, according to a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The reason: A high-protein breakfast boosts levels of another satiety hormone, peptide YY, all day.

Gig(s) of the month.
The Joy Formidable - La Botanique, Brussels - 1st February
Caitlin Rose - The Haunt, Brighton - 25th February / Dingwalls, London - 27th February
New tracks "Tendons" and "Forest Serenade" fit instantly into the set amongst main-stay favourites "The Greatest Light...", "Whirring" and "Spectrum" though no place yet (and understandably given it's orchestral backing) to my favourite from the record "The Turnaround".
The Joy Formidable are a truly excellent live act, they put their entire bodies on the line and give a 90 minute lesson in rock show performance. Deadly riffs from the new album collide with Ritzy's beautiful vocals, effortlessly shifting from ethereal wonder to venomous spite in the blink of her wide open glare. Equally appreciative of the crowd a drunk American finds her way on stage to 'dance' towards the end of the set and then remembering a lad who'd crash landed during a stage diving attempt the previous time the band were in time - that sums up The Joy Formidable perfectly, a nicer all round band you are not likely to find. As amazingly talented one too.
Early set favourites "No One To Call" and "Only A Clown" showcase her matured sound, polished, slick and exuberant, there's a confident swagger to her band and their ballsy country-twang riffs and then of course there's Caitlin herself. I've never heard anyone control their voice as well, and with such devastating ability as Caitlin Rose, it's perhaps why everything she's leant it too over the past three years I've lapped up like a kitten does milk. Though it's the delicious - not your wedding song - "Pink Champagne" that floors me best, full of emotive grace and beauty whilst the closing swagger of old favourite "Shanghai Cigarettes is met with heartily appreciation by the crowd.
It's a wonderful set that's memorable throughout, the opening half of the set could easily be a greatest hits set for her forthcoming festival appearances. I expect it will be. The lack of an early curfew in London led to its attendees's joining Caitlin and band in a sing-along finale of "Bottles", a superb, smirk-inducing moment to end any night.
Album(s) of the month.
I'll let the real reviewers give proper plaudits to this LP as a whole, they've already been doing in their droves but I'll no doubt give a few mentions of my own between now and my end of year lists...
My love affair with Caitlin Rose's music goes back to spring 2010 when I fell for her incredible talents with "For The Rabbits", the lead off single for her debut Own Side Now. That summer I saw Caitlin over a half dozen times in the space of a few months and fell in love with her record, it's soon become by far and away my most listened to record of recent time. Therefore it was only natural to approach the follow up with a mixture of excitement and trepidation, The Stand-In had big boots to fill, in the end, any worries were put to bed on my first play through. The album instantly hits you with stylishly crafted numbers and luscious lyrical depth.
The songs are bigger and more polished, we've already heard the rocking "No One To Call" and the albums next single "Only A Clown" follows suit, it should be the track that takes Caitlin from main-stay of blogs and critics to Nashville's biggest export, with killer hooks aplomb her clear vocals it's a track made to seamlessly flown through wireless's around the world.
Album highlights are throughout, "Pink Champagne" is a stunning heart-breaker, a cover of the Felice Brothers' "Dallas" (an ode to Caitlin's home-town) is plain gorgeous while "Old Numbers" ends the album with an unexpected jazzy stomp. The Stand-In s the album may be called, a joke about the long gestation period of the Own Side Now period, but here, a real star is found.
Veronica Falls - Waiting For Something To Happen
Another second album that raises the bar for the artist involved, ;Waiting For Something To Happen shows a marked step-up for Veronica Falls (but also one that has much in keeping with their debut). From the opening bars of "Tell Me" to the wisful closure "Last Conversation" you are treated to a deceptively simple indie-pop sound that is pure, charming and genuinely wonderful. Part of their magic is their knack of making their tracks sound like something you're already familiar with.
"Teenage" is perhaps their finest moment to date, a pure, unadulterated pop tune that's as bright and catchy as anything we've heard from them before. "Buried Alive" is playful and infectious from the off and combines the bands infinite charm, fuzz-pop hooks and ominous sense of immediate death. All wrapped up within three minute of sweetly-sung, quick-paced wondrousness. Veronica Falls have refined their own sound and Waiting For Something TO Happen is it at its succinct, effortless best.
EP of the Month.
Bird - Ophelia
I was already pretty excited to hear Ophelia, Bird's third EP before its title-track floored me, it is perhaps Bird's most ambitious (and best) track to date, starting with a deep bass line and psychedelic guitar patterns it highlights a different side to the bands previous recorded output, one I've previously encountered in their live show, a hypnotic and sprawling groove that hooks you in even before the 'signature' Bird sound enters, soon enough Adele and Sian's majestic harmonies flutter siren-like with grace and beauty to send you to heavenly plains.
I'm as much of a fan of "The Waltz" though, easily one of the most beautiful things you're likely to hear this year, taking the ethereal and haunting comments to a new plain as it gradually builds up around a steady percussive heart-beat and orchestral flourishes. Spine-tinglingly gorgeous.
Single of the Month.
From my "Falling" post February 13th:
I often debate the necessity to post about bands that have 'made it' on my little blog, the chances of you discovering Haim here two months after they topped just about every 'tips for 2013' are minimal at best but here I am posting about the Los Angeles trio once more because they've (once again) come up with an absolute killer track...
Brimming with typical Haim confidence and adrenalin "Falling" combines all the attributes that have garnered so much attention so far, anthem like production, funk-laden hooks, gorgeous harmonies and tight rock guitars. Their topping of the BBC sound of 2013 list led me to read quite a few mumblings of dislike aimed at the act, something that was a bit of a surprise to me, I'd somewhat foolishly believed Haim had managed to win over almost all quarters. In my opinion the "back-lash" that followed was little more than playground squabbling - we can't all like the same thing, especially what's become popular after-all.
"Falling" is available now digitally with a 10" vinyl version released on April 1st - pre-order from Rough Trade - unfortunately there are only remixes on the flip-side. Expect UK
Discovery of the Month.
(text below from my post of February 11th)
Lotte Kestner is the solo project of Trespassers William vocalist Anna-Lynne Williams from Seattle. Her third album (but my introduction point) The Bluebird of Happiness and was released this week via Saint Marie Records (available via Bandcamp), its lead track "Cliff" is bloody lovely too...
Essentially a bare-boned ballad made up of little more than swirling keyboard strokes and soft strings flourishes it holds its weight due to the devastatingly beautiful and intimate nature of Lotte's emotive delivery and the absorbing ambience she manages to create with her minimalistic arrangements. Blissful and tinged in sadness, "Cliff" is a track that will stay with you long after it has finished.
There's a whole treasure chests worth of Lotte Kestner music to delve into on her bandcamp page too.

Allies Quotes

[ Page 3 of 3 ]
[ Page 3 of 3 ]
"Britain's great war leader, William Pitt, used Britain's naval power to strike at France where it was most vulnerable, in its colonies, while also using Britain's money to subsidize Prussia and small German states to do the bulk of the fighting against France and its allies in Europe,"
"[Also on the tapes, Dean Rusk, Kennedy's secretary of state, counsels that the use of nuclear weapons would have to have support from America's allies.] I think we would be hard pressed to tell our own people why we are doing this with India when even the British won't do it or the Australians won't do it and the Canadians won't do it, ... We need to have those other flags flying on these joint enterprises."
Featured Book: The Most Brilliant Thoughts of All Time (In Two Lines or Less) by John M. Shanahan
You don't have to be a genius to sound like one. Here's a collection of the most profound and provocative wit and wisdom in the English language in two lines or less. Edited by entrepreneur John M. Shanahan, who created the wildly successful Hooked on Phonics program, this wonderful book presents the best that has been thought and said on every imaginable topic.
"We have to develop an isolation strategy, which will be combined political means and military means, ... But first of all we are rather close to the political isolation and we are happy that the international community and all friends and allies have supported us and we're seeing an overall condemnation of these people."
"[If the foregoing was simply insensitive, George W. Bush's comparison of the first U.S. war against Iraq, when his dad was commander in chief, and the current U.S. war against Iraq is damning. In] Misunderestimated: The President Battles Terrorism, John Kerry and the Bush Haters ... I think freedom will prevail, so long as the U.S. and its allies don't ... do what many Iraqis still suspect might happen, and that is cut and run early, like what happened in '91."
"We've enjoyed very pleasant cooperation with the Democratic Party and other pro-democrats in the legislature. We share the same set of aspirations and thoughts on the road to democratic development and we'll surely continue to view them as our close allies in the future."

Dollhouse Living Room by White Owl
Were any of you following Emily Henderson's "I'm a Giant" Dollhouse Challenge a few months back? Seeing the tiny homes these fantastic designers and bloggers built was fascinating. Everyone really pulled out all the stops including stained parquet floors, upholstered sofas, and hand painted wallpaper (a few of my favourites are here, here and here). All these small scale homes had me thinking mini, as in miniature versions of regular sized things. Here are a few examples of miniatures that are all the more beautiful because of their smallness.
Panton 1959 Chairs by Vitra Design Museum
Miniature La Mamma, Pesce 1969 by Vitra Design Museum
Vitra has created miniature reproductions of iconic designs from Eames, Panton, Gehry and more. I may have gasped when I saw the price of these mini marvels (one of the Panton chairs will set you back 124,90 Euros and La Mamma is a whopping 299,80 Euros), but for design afficciendos it may be the next best thing to owning the full-sized version.
Sushi by Shay Aaron via the wondrous
These food sculptures by Shay Aaron are wonders to behold. Sadly, none of her creations are edible, but they sure look good enough to eat. If you follow this link you can see more of her foodie creations as well as photos of how she makes these tiny food items out of polymer clay.
I want a whole garden of these mini planters. It's small space gardening at it's most miniscule. To make a few itsy bitsy plants of your own you can use small terracotta planters that are often found at craft or garden stores, but thimbles will also do the trick. For full directions head on over to the Etsy blog.
Mini Printing Press via Anthology Mag
Is this not the most charming little gadget you've ever seen? It's a miniature printing press that you can actually typeset yourself. Probably not the best route to go if you're trying to print a whole novel but it would be fun for personalizing stationary or cards.
installation by Liliana Porter
Liliana Porter's installations of tiny people interacting with an over-sized world are humorous and thought-provoking. Her lonely little figures engage with their surroundings in unexpected ways exhibiting an endearing stubbornness in the face of tremendous odds. I especially like the little painter above. To see more of her beautiful work go here. As you can see, scaling things down in size can sometimes be just as powerful a design tool as going big. Are you drawn to miniatures? I'd also love to hear if any of the dollhouses in the "I'm a Giant" challenge caught your eye. There were a few I would happily move into any day. Happy Friday Everyone!

Convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson, Doctor Conrad Murray is now free!
Murray was released this week after serving two years, half of his four-year sentence. We're wondering has justice been served?
Head on over to our FOX Montana Facebook page, and comment on this week's question. We'll share your responses on Thursday night's show!

A lot of hype surrounded Thursday's contest in Nashville between the Blues and Predators… and rightfully so! The two division rivals have jumped out to a quick start this year. But the game did not live up to its billing as Jaroslav Halak and company grabbed a 3-0 victory over Nashville. The win for the Blues snapped a five-game skid against the Predators.
You got the sense early on that Halak was going to be very tough to beat. The Preds had some point-blank chances and breakaways in the first period, but could never get one past Halak, who made 24 saves on the night in what was his second straight shutout.
After the first, the Blues held a 15-8 shot advantage; it sure didn't seem like it as Nashville sustained more pressure in the offensive zone than St. Louis did.
With 7:04 remaining in the second period, the Blues struck first with a shorthanded tally from Alex Steen. David Perron was all alone behind the net and eventually found a wide open Steen in front.
Nashville had numerous chances late in the period on the power play, but came up empty once again against a tough St. Louis penalty kill.
Davis Payne's club did a great job of stymieing the Preds' attack in the third. The Preds could only muster five shots on net in the final frame as the Blues clogged the shooting and passing lanes all period.
The Preds did have another chance to tie the game on a power play; but once the Blues killed it off, they took a 2-0 lead when Patrik Berglund pounced on a long rebound. Pekka Rinne was out of position and there was some traffic in front.
St. Louis tacked on to their lead on a five-minute man advantage, courtesy of a borderline hit from Jordin Tootoo on Carlo Colaiacovo. Tootoo was given a major penalty for charging on the play with 6:49 left in regulation. Matt D'Agostini scored the third and final goal of the night to cap off a 3-0 win for the Blues.
Post-Game Quotes: Barry Trotz on St. Louis:
"That's a little taste of what the Central Division is all about right there. They play a real good team game, I think they have the lowest goals against, and they give up the least amount of shots in the league."
Barry Trotz on Tootoo hit:
"I looked at it. Charging – he didn't move his feet at all from top of the circles in. The big emphasis is on shots to the head and I saw a shoulder-to-shoulder check. To me he didn't leave his feet. I'm a little bit confused on that. I thought it was a fairly clean hit."
Final Thoughts: It simply wasn't Nashville's night, and you have to give a lot of credit to the Blues for capitalizing and getting the two points. The Preds were 15-1-3 at home against them since the lockout, so Payne's gang exorcised some demons with this win. Halak was brilliant and stole the show in the first two periods.
Nashville will begin a five-game road trip on Saturday when they meet up with rival Detroit for the first time this season. Overall, the Preds will be away from home nine of their next ten games. It should be a good barometer of just how good this team is.

"For the record, Batista's a sweet guy with an incredible story of perseverance and hard work. He's one of the good guys."
- former WWE star Zach Gowen defending Batista
The record for most elimination in the Royal Rumble belongs to Kane, who once took out eleven performers. There are talks that Roman Reigns could be given the distinction of beating that tonight at Royal Rumble 2014. He is expected to be pushed heavily during the match.
Jim Neidhart set a shot put record for California high schools that stood firm for twelve years before someone else broke it.
Zeb Colter recently pretended to not know who Hulk Hogan was, so a fan called him out and let him know that since Hogan has left TNA, Colter can stop pretending now.
There are still plans within WWE to turn Antonio Cesaro into a baby face. It was supposed to have happened already, but the creative department simply has not found the time nor a suitable story to break him away from Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger.
There is a Beard of the Year category at the Slammy Awards at Monday Night Raw, and the nominees are Daniel Bryan, the Wyatt Family, Damien Sandow and Zeb Colter.

Please read at your leisure the notes for Thursday's paper. The big news is that it looks like B.J. Bostic is likely going to redshirt. The sophomore A-back had yet to play this season with a right arm injury. Coaches will have to make a decision in the near future regarding Vad Lee, also. Thanks for reading.
1. The Andy McCollum reunion tour concludes Saturday in Raleigh with Georgia Tech's game against N.C. State. Georgia Tech's defensive line coach returned three weeks ago to Middle Tennessee State, where he was head coach 1999 to 2005 and an assistant several years prior.
He was N.C. State's linebackers coach 2007-2009 before Tech hired the Marietta High grad to be line coach and recruiting coordinator. It'll be his first time back at Carter-Finley Stadium since leaving.
"Some of the greatest people I've been around," McCollum said. "I know how passionate their fans are and I know what kind of enthusiasm it's going to be."
With his state ties, McCollum recruited several N.C State players from Georgia, including three starting offensive linemen that he'll be coaching his players to beat – guards Duran Christophe (Woodstock High) and Zach Allen (Tift County High) and center Camden Wentz (Lassiter High). McCollum said he's stayed in touch with players that he either recruited or coached.
"It's a good bunch of kids," McCollum said.
McCollum's other previous employers – UTEP, Baylor and the Tennessee Titans – do not figure to come up on Tech's schedule anytime soon.
(McCollum is a guy anybody would enjoy talking to. Good storyteller and very personable. I can see why he'd be such a good recruiter.)
2. Friday, coach Paul Johnson said he thinks A-back B.J. Bostic will redshirt. Bostic, who figured to be in the rotation coming into the season, suffered a right arm injury in preseason camp and has yet to play. Having played as a true freshman a year ago, Bostic will have three years of eligibility remaining starting with the 2012 season.
Johnson also said the time is approaching to decide on a redshirt for freshman quarterback Vad Lee.
"Hopefully we can go through the year like we're going right now with him, and he can take reps and learn and be able to compete in the spring," Johnson said.
The kickoff return team will have new personnel in the back, possibly including Tony Zenon as a replacement for returner Orwin Smith.
"Just to see if we can get something going," Johnson said.
Four of Tech's last nine kickoff returns have not gotten past the 19-yard line, prompting the change.
(The Bostic move makes sense, and I won't be surprised if/when Lee gets redshirted, too. We'll see how the kickoffs fare on Saturday. Another big concern for Tech is containing N.C. State return man T.J. Graham. See below.)
3. Kicker Justin Moore said it has been frustrating not being able to transfer good weeks of practice kickoffs into the games.
"The game is just a whole different story, especially the opening kick," he said. "You're just so jacked up that you just have to get back there and take a few deep breaths and calm yourself."
Moore, who has made three of his last four field-goal attempts and all 28 of his point-after tries, has had trouble getting distance on the kickoffs. Moore said he thought he was having trouble with timing and the steps in his run-up to the ball.
"But I think I'll get there very soon, because I know I have to," Moore said.
(Perhaps Saturday will be the breakthrough game for Moore, yet another Yellow Jacket from Marist.)
4. A-back and team captain Roddy Jones said he has monitored the team for signs of complacency or satisfaction after starting 4-0 and earning a No. 21 ranking in both polls. He hasn't detected anything, which he partly attributes to strong leadership in all of the position groups.
Jones said that "the group of guys that we've got right now is a group that just works hard."
(A good point by Jones. The receivers have Tyler Melton, the backs have Jones and Tevin Washington, the offensive line has Omoregie Uzzi, the defensive line has Jason Peters and Logan Walls, the linebackers have Steven Sylvester and Julian Burnett, both of whom are captains, and the secondary has Michael Peterson and Rashaad Reid. There's only six starting seniors, but they're dispersed almost evenly. Uzzi, Burnett and Washington are not seniors, I realize, but are often talked about as leaders.)
5. Guard Omoregie Uzzi, who has been named the ACC offensive lineman for the past two weeks, has not escaped the attention of N.C. State coach Tom O'Brien.
"He comes off the ball, he's low, he gets into his blocks and he stays on his blocks and he knocks people down," O'Brien said on the ACC coaches teleconference Wednesday. "He's an impressive guy."
6. Johnson on a reported crime wave of T's being taken from campus buildings: "I don't have any of them." … Mike Patrick and Craig James will broadcast Saturday's game for ABC and ESPN.
Thanks for reading. Will have something up Thursday morning. I think a Q&A with Jason Peters.

Thats a shame for Bostic. However, it does look like Tech has a lot of talent at the A back spot right now. Orwin Smith looks great, Roddy Jones is solid, and Tony Zenon has been great so far as a freshman. Hopefully the team won't lose any of these guys to injury and manage a year without Bostic.

10:05 pm
I for one am glad that this team has great leaders this year . Helps to keep their head clear . Like CPJ says , Y'all aint done nothing yet . Remain humble , keep it steady , keep working hard and eliminate the mistakes .
And another thing . I like seeing our team score and act like they have been there before .
September 28th, 2011

Now I know why UGA didn't mind players getting arrested! it was easier to keep them on the team when they were handcuffed or in a jail cell.
September 28th, 2011
10:14 pm
Ken – Just an observation. If you go back to the Kansas game when the ball was finally kicked into the end zone on a kick off by Moore – you'll see the placement of the ball on the tee was almost in an upright position and when kicked a about a third of the way from the ground up – it produced more of a line drive that carried it into the end zone. On most other kicks – the ball has been placed on the tee with a somewhat backward slant toward the kicker which allows the kicker to get up under the ball and loft it up in the air so that it makes it only to the 10 yard line or so. You might check back on the films to verify. Just saying………..
September 28th, 2011
10:16 pm
Thanks Ken! I hate it for Bostic, he's a great kid and one heck of an athlete. Hopefully the red shirt will allow for him to come back even better than ever.

September 28th, 2011
10:36 pm
Thanks for the great work Ken! You're the top man on the favorites list.
Tough luck for Bostic, might work out though as Roddy graduates, or shall I say runs out of eligibility (good luck with the masters Roddy!) Peeples is in his last year as well.
Zenon returning kicks sounds good if he blows by folks but the little guys scare me unless he can take a lick and hold onto the ball.
If the kickers are doing it in practice it will, as they say in Jamaica, "soon come":))
Leadership or the lack thereof was certainly a problem last year and clearly not this year. Excellent upperclassmen working hard to finish well. Cant beat that!
Last week I called it 35-24 Tech, but NCST is so beat up on the defensive side I think we may have another 600+ yards and 45+ points. Could be David Sims big game given the weak D line for State.
This week I say 45-20 Jackets roll again!!!
September 28th, 2011
10:48 pm
Stephen, you are a character. I hope you get the part. Good luck to your team! More Cow Bell! THWG! Go Jackets! Go Tech! Go… GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY!

19, you are the character. I'm proud to cheer for the Yellow Jackets alongside you, but you are definitely different. Why do you assume that anyone with whom you aren't familiar is a Georgia fan? I most certainly never have been nor ever will be. My two favorite teams are Georgia Tech and WHOEVER is playing Georgia! One day maybe, you'll accept that. Either way, GO JACKETS!

11:10 pm
Next year the Bostic and Zenon duo represent a couple of serious burners. Given the chance on a regular basis, I'm looking forward to what he can do. CPJ doesn't have much patience for freshman mistakes. I remember Bostic fumbling once last year…then you didn't see much of him. Can't wait to see him flash the speed.
September 28th, 2011
11:12 pm
A bit sorry to hear about Bostic, great player. I thought he would be big time this year.
Don't let it get you down, work hard, and next year you will have fun and we will too, no doubt!!
Our A-backs are doing a great job this year, BJ would have been right there with them. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing Bostic on the field next year!!
September 28th, 2011

@Stephen, "more cowbell please"! Thanks for being a fan of GT. You are the best Tech fan on this blog. Red shirting Bostic is a good idea, he'll surely rip long runs against any team in the country(certainly this state) in the years to come. Tech is on the rise! Please don't let me forget THWG!

September 28th, 2011

Sucks for Bostic. Hope he spends the time well working out and studying the game. I did not Orwin was the problem on KO returns, but it will be interesting to see what a burner like Zenon can do. Can't wait till Saturday.
September 28th, 2011

So in 2012-2014 we will have, Tevin, Vad, Perkins, Sims, Bostic, Zenon, Smith, Snoofdy, Preston and more rotating at QB AB and BB. Wow. Tech is Loaded for along time. GO JACKETS!!!

enough about reunions with coaches, alot of GT fans loved Tenuta but we don't wish him well in this upcoming game. Coaches are fired or come and go and so what…This won't be a kumbaya in Raleigh. NC ST fans and team have been running their mouths on radio and media in NC about this game and want to beat GT badly. Having lost as well to NC St last yr, GT needs to play hard and fight for every point.
September 29th, 2011

It sure would be nice to get Bostic and Lee redshirted. My concern is the possibility of an injury at the QB or A-back position. However, you have to do what's best for these kids. Another year of eligibility is probably in their best interest.
September 29th, 2011
5:54 am
Did you ever find the list of starters on the kickoff return team from last week?
I had trouble figuring out who was where in the front 5 and the middle guy of the 3 men on the 30 yard line (off the TV, of course)
Please let me know if you have them.

Tech fans: please attend games! What's wrong with you?!
September 29th, 2011
7:54 am
Is there any way we can go ahead and name Roddy Jones as the next "Head Coach in waiting"?
September 29th, 2011
7:59 am
I have season tickets but my best guess is that one out of ten vs Uga is what is wrong with the folks we have lost.
Spurrier had it right and fixed the problem.

Big Data, Python, and the future of security
Good vs. Bad
When you start processing security-related data to find patterns, you quickly end up in Big Data territory, and you'll need some powerful tools to help you separate the good from the bad.
Intrusion detection and prevention is a difficult problem, much like email spam. Basically, you want to block all the "bad" traffic without blocking any "good" data. Because you can't accomplish this perfectly, you have to make a choice of how much bad traffic you're willing to allow, and how much good traffic you're willing to block.
Generally, people take one of three positions here. The first is the infamous "we can't block any good traffic, we'll lose sales, etc." The second approach is "I don't care about inconveniencing anybody, block by default and make sure anything coming through is good." The third option is a little more subtle and difficult to implement; basically, you turn to economics and try to figure out the cost of blocking good traffic (annoying users, support costs) and the cost of not blocking bad traffic (cleaning up after the occasional intrusion), and you make a decision. The third option, however, is rarely based on actual data and is mostly done along the lines of "how much can we annoy users before they yell at us." But, it's better than nothing.
Big Data Tools
Processing all this information, of course, leads to Big Data. Personally, I'm not a fan of buzzwords, but enough incremental change usually leads to entirely new things. Today, I was backing up an email account that contains messages about the size of my first hard drive, and the entire mailbox was larger than the storage of my first seven or eight computers put together. The reality is, if you want to start processing security-related data to find patterns, you're going to end up in Big Data territory quite quickly.
In typical open source fashion, you won't be spoiled for choice of tools for the job. For the purposes of this article, however, I'll mention Hadoop [1], MongoDB [2], and Python. Why Python, you ask? Why not Scala or something else? Python has its roots in scientific computing and, as such, has a number of extremely powerful data processing and machine learning libraries that are ideally suited to the problem here. As for Hadoop and MongoDB, it's simple: They can store a ton of data; they allow you to scale performance very cheaply, and talking to them to manipulate your data is easy.
Bayesian Filtering
One of the most powerful and simple tools for taking a lot of data and figuring out which of it is "good" and which of it is "bad" is Bayesian probability. This concept alone took spam from manually created lists to something that actually worked in an automated fashion. To make a long story short, you basically examine your data set, looking for relationships (e.g., the phrase "refinance your mortgage") that occur in spam email. If you're a mortgage broker, however, this phrase also appears in your ham (good) email. The trick is knowing what percentage of spam email and what percentage of ham email has it. For example, if 1 percent of your spam contains the term but 10 percent of your legitimate email has it, then it's probably a legitimate term for you despite being abused by spammers.
With Bayesian filtering, if you can codify the data, you can process it. For example, if you record all your network traffic and server logs and then a server suffers a break-in, you can mark all the data from the time of the break-in – assuming you can determine that – as suspicious and then compare it to all the other known good traffic. With luck, Bayesian filtering will be able to find the malicious data, because it will not have occurred in the known good set of data (Figure 1). If you combine this approach with additional data like IP address, country of origin, and time of day, you should be able to eliminate large amounts of "good" traffic from the suspect data set quickly.
Machine Learning with Python
Mainly what you're doing with these data sets of network traffic, server logs, and so on is classifying and clustering. You want to know "is this data good or bad" and "what things are related to this data." For example, many modern viruses phone home to command and control servers or to servers that host the payload. This means attackers can customize the payload for a virus based on the location of the machine requesting it and keep offering new versions to make detection more difficult.
The trick here is to know what these outgoing requests look like. For example, if you have systems running Linux and Firefox and they start sending out web requests with a user agent of Internet Explorer, then that's probably not legitimate traffic. Another clue might be if they started sending out web requests at three in the morning when no one was in the office. These behaviors seem obvious in hindsight, but there are millions of possibilities and not only do they vary from site to site but they also keep changing.
For Python, the two main packages to help deal with the problem are scikit-learn [3] and mlpy [4]. These tools are built on top of NumPy and SciPy, with the performance-critical parts written in C and Fortran, so they're fast and easy to work with.

News Release
For Immediate Release
Megan Kirchgessner, Wildlife Veterinarian, 804-367-8944
NOTE: This news release was distributed on 9/28/2012. The information below may no longer be the most up-to-date information available, or may pertain solely to events that occurred in the past. Please contact the person listed as the contact person for this release for the most current information.
Hunters: Check the Regulations Before Taking Your Deer Carcass Out of Virginia
RICHMOND, VA - Since Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a progressive neurological disease of deer, has been detected from four deer harvested in Frederick County, Virginia, deer hunters must follow carcass importation regulations in other states when they transport a deer carcass out of Virginia (see the following website: http://www.cwd-info.org/).
Hunters anywhere in Virginia transporting a deer carcass into an adjoining state must meet the following restrictions:
• Kentucky - Hunters anywhere in Virginia must bone-out or quarter their deer carcass so the brain and spinal cord are removed.
• Maryland - Will accept whole deer carcasses from Virginia except those originating from Virginia's CWD Containment Area.
• North Carolina - Hunters anywhere in Virginia must bone-out or quarter their deer carcass so the brain and spinal cord are removed.
• Pennsylvania - Will accept whole deer carcasses from Virginia except those originating from Virginia's CWD Containment Area.
• Tennessee - Whole deer carcasses are allowed except those originating from anywhere in Frederick County and Shenandoah County, where carcasses must be boned-out or quartered so the brain and spinal cord is removed.
• West Virginia - Will accept whole deer carcasses from Virginia except those originating from Virginia's CWD Containment Area.
For Virginia deer hunters hunting in neighboring states where CWD has been detected, whole deer carcasses from select counties are prohibited from entering Virginia. These counties include Hampshire, Hardy, and Morgan in West Virginia, and Allegany in Maryland. For more information regarding other carcass-restriction zones in the rest of the country and deer parts allowed to be brought into Virginia from these zones, please visit www.dgif.virginia.gov/wildlife/diseases/cwd/.
VDGIF is continuing several management strategies in the northern Shenandoah Valley (Frederick County and the City of Winchester west of I-81 and the portion of Shenandoah County west of I-81 and north of Route 675) in response to the detection of CWD. These strategies include the following:
All deer killed by hunters within the CWD Containment Area on November 17 and 24 and December 1, 2012, must be brought to a designated sampling station for CWD testing. CWD sampling stations include Cather's Market, Crossroads Grocery, Gore Grocery, Shawnee Springs Market, and T&R Processing in Frederick County and Larkin's Store and Graden's Supermarket in Shenandoah County. Hunters can still check their deer via telephone or internet but must bring the deer to a designated CWD sampling station on the dates above.
Special hunting season regulations will continue to apply on private lands in Clarke, Frederick, Shenandoah, and Warren Counties and the City of Winchester, including: daily bag limit of two deer per day, full season and either-sex early and late muzzleloading seasons on private lands in Shenandoah County, and Earn-A-Buck. No changes have been made for public lands in any of these counties. Additionally, feeding of deer is prohibited year-round in Clarke, Frederick, Shenandoah, and Warren Counties, and the City of Winchester, and rehabilitation is prohibited for any deer that originates from within the CWD Containment Area.
To assist with Containment Area (CA) surveillance, VDGIF is strongly encouraging hunters who are successful in the CA on days other than mandatory sampling days to volunteer the head and neck from their deer by bringing it to a self-service refrigerated drop station, located in the following places:
• Frederick-Winchester Conservation Club, 527 Siler Road, Winchester (north of Gainesboro)
• Walker's Cash Store, 3321 Back Road, Woodstock (intersection with St. Luke Road)
• North Mountain Fire and Rescue, 186 Rosenberger Lane, Winchester (off Rt. 600, behind Tom's Market)
• Rock-Enon Boy Scout Camp, 292 Rock Enon Springs Road, Gore, Va. 22637
(The refrigerator is on the porch at Garrabrandt Lodge – 1st building on right)
CWD has been detected in 21 states and two Canadian provinces. The disease is a slow, progressive neurological (brain and nervous system) disease found in deer, elk, and moose in North America. The disease ultimately results in death of the animal. Symptoms exhibited by CWD-infected deer include staggering, abnormal posture, lowered head, drooling, confusion, and marked weight loss. There is no evidence that CWD can be naturally transmitted to humans, livestock, or pets. Anyone who sees a sick deer that displays any of the signs described above should contact the nearest VDGIF office immediately with accurate location information. Please do not attempt to disturb or kill the deer before contacting the VDGIF. More information on CWD can be found on the VDGIF website at www.dgif.virginia.gov/wildlife/diseases/cwd/.

The Nationals dressed their rookies up as smurfs last year as part of their rookie hazing. This year they opted for a more patriotic theme — they dressed their rookies up as US Olympic gymnasts.
Pitcher Gio Gonzalez tweeted two pictures of the rooks dressed up as gymnasts. One was taken inside the team's clubhouse following their 8-0 loss to the Marlins. The other was snapped as they were getting ready to board a train for the road trip to New York.
Gonzalez's caption for the photo was actually pretty funny: "The 2012 Olympians that didn't make the cut this year."
Thank goodness they didn't. Below is another pic of the rookies in their leotards:
And if you'd like to turn this into another Bryce Harper-Mike Trout debate, here's Trouty dressed as Lady Gaga last year.

A two-year-old Montcalm County child is recovering from injuries sustained after falling out of a second story window.
The incident happened Saturday afternoon in Stanton, on South Vickeryville Road.
Montcalm County Deputies say the child's mother opened a window to speak to her husband who was outside.
That's when it's believed the child climbed on a chair near the window and pushed the screen out, causing him to fall.
The child landed on the cement.
He was taken to Carson City Hospital, and then to DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids where he is being treated for minor injuries.
The two-year-old is expected to make a full recovery.

What traveller or aspiring travel writer has ever been to Paris and NOT stopped by George Whitman's Shakesepeare & Company, located just a stone's throw (if you have a good arm!) from the Notre Dame Cathedral?
I cannot count the amount of times I have been there over the years. The place is like a magnet, a friendly familiar place that I first visited back in the early 1980s. I always buy at least one book when I visit, and at crazy times too many to carry around the city.
This photo was taken this past spring. I was in Paris this past weekend too but I must confess that I didn't make it to the bookstore this time, but could see it in the distance from Ile de France.
Who remembers actually composing prose, letters or even grocery lists on a typewriter?http://www.shakespeareandco...
I picked up one of these typewriters at a flea market in Berlin ... still works beautifully.
I do see them over in the flea markets here in Belgium but was wondering if I would be able to find typewriter ribbon! I would prefer to use for it writing, although not long prose but perhaps a bit of poetry.
For those of you who have been to Shakespeare & Company in Paris; I just found out that George Whitman died a few weeks ago. He was the owner of the bookstore and died 2 days after his 98th birthday. George was quite a character and will be missed by so many.
I love it! - I always think of typewriters as Poet's Pianos
love thaty "poet's pianos"! i might have to 'borrow" it some times!!

How would you feel if you found out life, as you know it, is all a lie?
After the 3rd world war, Earth is drastically damaged. By the 23rd century generations have passed, the facts twisted, history revised so it is unrecognizable and below ground a utopian society is established. Or is it?
Major Cooper Sayer, an imposing intelligent member of the special security forces, and Maris Gower, a peaceful soul who works in the New American Central Library, are an officially partnered couple. Life is comfortable, full of love for each other, and yet it took them less than fifteen minutes to decide on a radical change.
With the dangers of residing below ground growing daily and the low life expectancy rate continually dropping, chances of a long and happy life together are becoming remote. The complete trust Maris has in Cooper is never questioned, even when he tells her they are going above for a chance at a longer life. A place that she has always believed meant instant death and he knows better.
WARNING: Warning: This story contains hot, steamy explicit sex, written in contemporary language!
In the pitch black room, he pulled his lover closer and luxuriated in the soft suppleness of her body. There was a turning point in their lives coming up and the seriousness of the situation had him unsettled. But he was a fighting man and would do anything to ensure Maris had a happy and full life, with him.
On a sigh, Cooper took a moment to trace through the path his life had taken to bring him to this point, to make sure he had chosen the right one for them.
The late twenty-third century world he found himself living in was remarkably different from what early scholars had anticipated. Some changes were more drastic than others, but it was widely reported such measures were necessary after the near annihilation left by the Third World War. Entire continents had been left uninhabitable and the landscape on those that were able to sustain life had drastically changed.
The world created from the decimated remains of WWIII was not shaped into a utopian society for all, which clearly would be an impossible objective to achieve. However, as would be expected, some people had found it easier to live more fulfilling lives than others.
As after any war, major changes had taken place around the world, both physical and political, but none as drastic as what had happened in the United States, the free world, now called New America. There were no longer states; all citizens resided between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. The biggest difference was life no longer extended outdoors.
Residents of New America lived below ground in communities spiraling down for mile upon mile. Above ground was understood to be a wasteland, destroyed by many different causes, not merely global warming, as was the opinion being touted starting in the twentieth century, nor the war to end all wars. Legend said that whoever went up died a horrible death instantly. Time had moved on, enough so there was not a thought given to what life had been like before the final war.
Cooper closed his eyes with the pain that haunted him and pulled the warm sleeping woman in his arms even closer. He dropped a gentle kiss on the top of her head, in a bid to mentally move away from his previous acceptance of the atrocities being played out on humanity.
It didn't make it any easier to live knowing the truth, and he has existed on the edge of breaking under the weight for years. If not for Maris, he felt he would have long been lost.
One point he'd always found difficult to accept was the longevity of life in the twenty-third century, now shockingly low. For a relatively healthy and active adult, life expectancy was approximately thirty-five. The human body had not been created to exist below ground. The residents had adapted well to the new conditions they now existed under, but there was still much more that needed to be accomplished in order for them to live longer.
To make matters worse, life wasn't without its dangers down below. Bursting points were becoming increasingly more common. Poisonous gases violently breaking through the barriers and leaking into homes, businesses, even hallways, were everyday occurrences. Death was inevitable and grotesque. People died and, in some cases, were not found for long periods of time. When the yellow dot denoting a burst point showed up on a sealed door, neighbors quickly put in moving requests.
Changes of major milestones had become necessary, as well. Sixteen was the age of adulthood, which entailed voting and leaving the family home to achieve either advancements in chosen profession or education. By eighteen, most New America residents were partnered for the first time. Sadly, it had recently been noted children were becoming more difficult to conceive and carry to term. The population of New America was slowly dying out.
Partnerships were a common way for one person to show another they wished for a monogamous relationship. It was a binding agreement, with a notification being published in the Hall of Records, and the couple was granted permission to conceive children.
The day Maris had become his official partner was a day he would always remember. Nudging his nose along the line of her neck, he now acknowledged wanting more. Like the warrior in their fantasy disk, he wanted firmer ties to hold her closer, longer, forever.
A need of a long forever instantly and inevitably led his train of thought to his boss.
At twenty-seven, he worked for the government in the special security forces, a job that took him away from home for long periods of time. One of the more difficult things expected of him was to never discuss anything he experienced with his partner. It was against regulations and was a line that, if crossed, would assuredly result in both their deaths, no matter who they were. Besides, there were times when he wasn't entirely sure how she would take what he'd have to say.
The major employer of New America was the government, or NAG. They had over three-quarters of all residents working for them. One interesting note was NAG ministers' identities being purposely hidden, no photographs allowed. It was said this practice allowed them to be treated like any other person and not with any special treatment, but Cooper knew differently.

Since I'm big fan of NPR, I was excited to see that their food blog, The Salt, covered a story about testing for food allergies. As I discussed in a recent post, food allergy testing can be a tricky task. Blood tests are often unreliable and are not always the most effective method for getting to the source of a patient's symptoms. In fact, allergies aren't always the problem, since intolerances and other digestive issues can produce similar reactions to food.
So what should you do if you suspect food allergies? According to my allergist, as well as the experts cited in this story, the best method is trial an error. Here's what the NPR post had to say:
"A lot of people think they have food allergies, but they're likely wrong.
That's partly because it's easy to confuse common food-related problems like lactose intolerance or celiac disease with an allergy. But it's also because there are a lot of tests promoted for food allergies that don't measure up.
That includes a blood test called IgG analysis, which is often promoted on the Internet as a way to identify problem foods. It sounds almost exactly like an IgE test, which is used by allergists to measures the immune system's response. (A true allergy is when the immune system reacts to something that's not a real threat.)
An article in the current Canadian Medical Association Journal reminds doctors that IgG tests aren't reliable tests of food allergies.
It follows the guidelines on diagnosing food allergies from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease in 2010, which lumped IgG testing with more than a dozen "nonstandardized and unproven procedures" that should be avoided. A positive IgG test, the expert panel said, could cause people to avoid foods that they can safely eat.
That got us here at The Salt wondering what does work.
To find out, we called up Scott Sicherer, a professor of pediatrics at the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
The NAIAD guidelines say that a "food challenge test" is the gold standard for food allergies, and Sicherer agrees. To do one, he feeds patients small amounts of a suspect food over the course of an hour, in his office (for safety reasons). "Ultimately the proof is in the pudding. If someone is able to eat a food and not get sick from it, they don't have a problem with it," he says."

The modal verb "must" has two past tense forms: "had to" and "must have". Which form we use depends on whether we want to express obligation or if we want to say how certain we are about the probability of something happening.
This table below shows us the past tense of "must" and "have to" and when to use them.
|Must / have to
When expressing obligation:
I must go. / I have to go.
When expressing obligation, the past of 'must' and 'have to' is always 'had to':
I had to go.
They had to be there at 2 o'clock.
When expressing a personal opinion about probability (deduction), we use 'must' to express that we feel something is true:
He must be here.
It must be great.
When expressing a personal opinion in the past, we use 'must have', NOT 'had to':
He must have been here.
It must have been great.

Here's a first draft of what I wrote to The Listserve on September 30, 2012:
Alright, here's what we're going to do: I want all of you to tell me about the things that make you feel awe. By awe, I mean a sense of wonder at the mystery of existence or the size of the universe—a sort of overpowering ecstasy mingled with just a little bit of melancholy or existential dread. So for example, maybe awe is what you feel when you look up at the stars, or into your child's eyes. If you're religious, maybe you experience awe when you feel the presence of God. Whatever awe means to you, and whatever shape it takes, I want to hear about it.
Your answer can take the form of a straightforward explanation, a story, a poem, a drawing, a video, a photograph, a song, or whatever else you want. It doesn't even have to be your creation; if a Beatles song makes you feel awe, then send me a YouTube link to that Beatles song. If someone said or wrote something which inspires awe, then quote them. Your answer can be anonymous or not, but I do at least want to know where you're from.
Send your answers to firstname.lastname@example.com or submit them at the following link: http://wonderserv.tumblr.com/submit
I'll take the best answers—which is to say, the answers that make me feel at least an echo of your awe—and post them at wonderserv.tumblr.com. Can't wait to hear your responses.
Even if you never got the original email, you can still submit. I encourage you to.

One of them was for the New Monrovia schoolhouse, a one-room building that was used for years to educate African-American children in Martin County.
It stopped being used and started falling apart. It looked for a while like it was on its way to eventual demolition when the county stepped in a refurbished it.
The ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony was held at the site of the newly restored schoolhouse on March 9.
Also on Saturday, officials and residents of the city of Stuart held a commemorative ceremony at the Moore Cemetery, located at the corner of Seville Street and Kanner Highway.
This cemetery has been around since 1925 and was used for African-Americans. Over the years, it was also neglected and started to fall into disrepair.
But in this case, the city stepped in and has worked hard to spruce it up and take care of it.
My congratulations to both sets of government officials. It takes a fine eye to stay focused on the future needs of the residents while remembering to preserve the past.
Another way residents can keep the past in their thoughts is to visit the art exhibit, "Endangered Florida Species," being shown now at the Kimbell Center of Jonathon Dickinson State Park, located on Federal Highway in Hobe Sound.
The art exhibit held a reception on March 8, and unveiled more than 20 wildlife paintings of Florida's endangered animals as done by award-winning Anthony Burks Sr.
This exhibit is touring the state, and will only be in Martin County through April 12. Take a moment to come out and see the beautiful creatures that are struggling to make Florida their home.
In other art announcement, the Art Life Gallery in downtown Jensen Beach is having a benefit auction to help the family of Sgt. Gary Morales at 8 p.m. on March 21. There will be art donations auctioned off, and all of the money raised will go to his wife and children through the St. Lucie County Hundred Club.
Have a good week, and stay safe.
