Kim Kardashian is officially on lock down ... again -- Kanye West pulled off a huge birthday surprise by renting out an entire baseball stadium and asking Kim to marry him Monday evening. Kanye reportedly borrowed AT&T Park -- home of the San Francisco Giants -- and popped the question in front of family and friends. Shocker ... she said yes. E! first reported the engagement ... which comes 4 months after Kim and Kanye's daughter North was born -- and 18 months after they went public as a couple. Monday was Kim's 33rd birthday. This will be her third shot at "til death do we part," and Yeezy's first. We're guessing this marriage will last longer than Kim's last one ... although 72 days with Kris Humphries is hardly a high standard.
Kelly Clarkson quietly got married on Sunday at an outdoor ceremony in the Smoky Mountains in Walland, Tennessee, which is near Knoxville. She is now Mrs. Brandon Blackstock. He's the stepson of Reba Mcentire and the son of Kelly's manager.

Cee Lo Green was in court yesterday to face allegations that he slipped a woman Ecstasy and then sexually assaulted her. Well, he got good news and bad news. The good news is that he wasn't charged with rape due to insufficient evidence. The bad news is that he's still on the hook for a felony count of furnishing a controlled substance. He could face up to four years in prison if convicted. Cee Lo reportedly drugged the unidentified 33-year-old woman at a Los Angeles restaurant in July of 2012, and then assaulted her at her hotel room. He pleaded Not Guilty to the drug charge. In case you were wondering, producers of "The Voice" say Cee Lo will NOT be fired.

Here's hoping Josh Duhamel posts of video of himself changing 7-week-old son Axl's diaper. "Timing when he's done actually pooping" has been the hardest part of being a new dad, said Duhamel. "I'll be in the middle of changing the diaper and he'll literally spray me," he said. "It's figuring out when he's actually done, when we can go in for the diaper change. You never know. It's a crap shoot, no pun intended." Fergie gave birth to Axl on Aug. 29 at Cedars-Sinai Hospital after checking earlier in the day for a prescheduled C-section. He weighed in at 7 pounds, 10 ounces Axl's most recent first? "He just smiled yesterday for the first time, but everything leading up to that was great…I just recommend it to anybody out there who hasn't done it," Duhamel said.

Chances are, the celebrities you HATE WITH EVERY FIBER OF YOUR BEING aren't as bad as you think they are. In fact, a lot of them probably do more good than most of us will ever do. With that in mind, the Huffington Post put together a list of Nine Disliked Celebrities Who Deserve Another Chance, as well as the reasons you should reconsider your hatred...
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: They visit children's hospitals regularly, and asked people to donate to one instead of sending them baby gifts.
Kristen Stewart: She was hugely involved in the Hurricane Sandy relief and cleanup efforts. She even agreed to hang out with a Middle Eastern prince in exchange for a $500,000 donation.
Taylor Swift: She just donated a $4 million Education Center at the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Justin Bieber: He's really good with sick kids like Avalanna Routh, who was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer as an infant. Before she died last September at the age of six, Justin had developed a very meaningful relationship with her.
Jay Leno: When "The Tonight Show" was facing staff layoffs, Jay took a 50% pay cut so everyone could keep their jobs.
Katherine Heigl: She's very involved in advocating organ donation, and also has an animal rights charity. Both are in honor of her brother, who died in a car accident in 1986, at the age of 15.
Ashton Kutcher: He does a lot of charity work for kids, through UNICEF, St. Jude's Children's Hospital and his own foundation. He also gave a very inspiring speech at this year's "Teen Choice Awards".
Gwyneth Paltrow: She works with numerous charities, including UNICEF, the Robin Hood Foundation and the Food Bank for New York City. In 2008 she gave $75,000 to help feed the homeless and impoverished in New York.

Midori Renewables (Cambridge, MA), is deploying its "breaking the biomass barrier" technology, based on a catalyst that melts non-food biomass into low-cost sugar, enabling the production of many valuable renewable products and animal feed, Midori announced. The company will begin constructing a commercial demonstration facility in 2014, and is in partnering discussions with several engineering, procurement, and construction firms to build the plant.

|Mad River Valley Crafts Fair
One of the exhibitors at the Craft Fair will be Baby's Breath Quilts, a Barre VT quilt maker.
The Mad River Craft Fair is being held this weekend at Kenyon's Field in Waitsfield VT. I've been to the fair several times and always enjoyed seeing the wide variety of great crafts and artwork on display. We've bought a few items over the years, most notably some great Alpaca sweaters for the grand kids. It's a fun event to attend with very good food, a wide variety of crafts and excellent live music (a swing band on Sunday!). I recommend it highly and can almost guarantee you will find something you just have to buy. It's that good.
If you have children in tow, don't hesitate to go. They have plenty of activities geared toward the younger set to keep them entertained. In the meantime, you can stroll and browse pottery, wood crafts, paintings, jewelery (lots of jewelery), unique clothing, baskets, toys, furniture, and much more produced by area artisans.
This show has been going on for 30 years and features more than 100 of the region's top crafts people and artists. The show is put on by the Valley Players, a long time Waitsfield theater group. It is open Saturday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Three demonstrations are given each day. I think I will try to get to the 1:00 Saturday demonstration by Michelle Wildflower (great name!) who is listed as an "alchemist." I don't know what that is but I want to find out.
The event is a fund raiser for a local theater group called The Valley Players.
By the way, that group is presenting some unique ten minute plays with the Vermont Playwrights this same weekend.
$3 admission, under 12 free. See you there!

In the organized clutter that fills the basement of Walters Custom Sign in Creston, the walls are plastered with old bits of artwork, partially completed projects, newspaper clippings and pictures.
Owner Harry Walters spends most of his days in the basement piecing together his artwork to the sound of old westerns playing on a small television in the corner of the makeshift studio.
But most of the artwork lining the walls in Harry's basement is not his own. Most of it would preferably be in a dumpster if the original artist had his way.
"There are some old pictures he threw in the trash and I dug them out," Harry said. "They were in the dumpster behind my house. I think they are great. So I hung them up, but he always says to get them off the wall."
Chancy Walters, 29, has traveled all over the United States — mostly throughout the Midwest and Alaska — selling his artwork while living a free-spirited lifestyle to gain inspiration for his next project.
He has used his talent with acrylic paints to fuel his passion for life in the outdoors — hunting, fishing and constantly searching for another rush of adrenaline.
"My life has been so 100 miles per hour with different things I have been doing," Chancy said.
Harry said as parents, he and his wife Jennifer have always encouraged Chancy and his sister to pursue what they love to do. While a daily eight-hour job would be more conventional, Harry is happy his kids haven't settled on a job they are not passionate about.
"I've been getting by, but I want to get more than by," Chancy said. "I'm building myself to where I can maybe do this for a living. You've got to just get by to make it happen sometimes."
Starting out
A 2003 graduate of Creston High School, Chancy was not immediately drawn to a career as an artist.
"I've always drew my whole life, but I got my art talent from my dad, it's all genetic," Chancy said.
But Chancy feared that signing up for art meant he would be restricted to drawing what the teacher wanted, not what inspired him.
"When you are teaching visual arts, you get to know the students and what their passions are," said Chancy's CHS art teacher Jacque Stephens. "He needed to get this wildlife out. It was really, truly a part of what he was."
Stephens said Chancy excelled at two-dimensional artwork and enjoyed working with color. She also said his sense of humor and dependability made him a joy to have in the classroom.
"Wildlife is 100 percent what I love to paint," Chancy said. "If I am going to paint something that isn't a commission piece, I am going to paint deer, ducks and turkeys."
Art class also fit in with Chancy's free spirit. While Stephens required her students to follow a schedule, they were allowed to work at their own pace so projects were not rushed. She also allowed students to stay late after school to work.
What stood out most about Chancy's character to Stephens was when her son needed to catch a frog for a contest.
"I didn't have time to go get a frog and was busy with school," Stephens said. "When we came home, there was a big five-gallon bucket on our patio with a screen on top of it."
Chancy had gone out after class and captured a bullfrog for Stephen's son.
"I don't think he has an enemy in the world," Stephens said. "He is what he is; just a really good person. I am so glad I had a chance to know him."
Stephens still uses a mousepad with a print of Chancy's artwork he gave her as a gift in high school.
Feather artwork
Since Chancy's artwork typically involves a wildlife theme, it is no surprise his most popular pieces have involved whitetail deer and turkeys.
But thanks to a tip from Creston-native and family friend John Harper, wildlife is not only Chancy's main theme, it is also the main medium he paints on.
"He called me out to his house one day and he is like, 'you know what, I've got a good idea for you Chancy,'" Chancy said. "He collects a lot of turkey hunting stuff. He was painting on the feathers just messing around."
Chancy has traveled all over the Midwest promoting his feather artwork. He said he has been asked to paint everything from wildlife and aquatic animals to football logos and water towers.
"My favorite is when he is doing his turkeys," Harry said. "He makes the colors shine just like when a turkey walks."
He can turn out a complete feather in an hour. If he is drawing several feathers of the same subject — like a rooster pheasant — Chancy creates a solo assembly line so he already has the correct color of paints ready to use.
"I have to clear coat them," Chancy said. "If you paint a feather and you don't clear coat it, it just spreads apart and you can't get the paint to stick."
Most of Chancy's feathers are $125 with glass and frame. Over the years, Chancy has donated feathers and prints to various organizations for auction items at fundraisers. Two of his favorite programs are Kenai Sports in Alaska and High Lakes Outdoor Alliance (HLOA) in Creston.
"There are people that come to the banquet and ask what we have from Chancy this year," Southwestern Community College Vice President of Economic Development Tom Lesan said. "Since he is a local artist, there is a lot of interest in his work."
Chancy has sold more than 5,000 turkey feather paintings. He said he is also working on larger pieces on canvas.
"It's funny how it works sometimes," Chancy said. "I've been blessed to run into a lot of different things in my life. It is because of my artwork. I am getting better at taking advantage of the opportunity when it comes to me."
As he begins to focus his career and build partnerships, Chancy said he doesn't regret or dwell on his past and has enjoyed each experience because he has gotten to grow through trial and error.
"I love what I am doing, but I am not living the dream," Chancy said. "Living the dream is doing what I'm doing and having a lot of money. Money is not everything, but to do the things I love to do, I have to have a certain amount of money."
To learn more about Chancy's artwork, email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

2011 SMU Football Preview: SMU finished 7-7 last season, but they were certainly fun to watch. With a high-powered offense led by head coach June Jones' run-and-gun style, the Mustangs were able to put up and impressive 25.7 points per game. With a number of returning starters, SMU may once again compete for the Conference USA crown.
The offense will be led by junior quarterback Kyle Padron, who showed last year he is up to the task of leading the team. Luckily, Padron will have two more-than-capable receivers to throw to in Cole Beasley and Darius Johnson - both of whom had solid seasons in 2010. Zach Line will be back at running back after rushing for more than 1,400 last year as well.
The defense was solid last year, and that appears to be the case once again this season. Defensive ends Taylor Thompson and Margus Hunt will lead the way, and Richard Crawford will anchor the SMU secondary. With seven returning starters, the Mustangs certainly have experience, but they will be looking to create more take-aways than last year's squad.
2010 SMU Football Preview: After a few years spent rebuilding, the Southern Methodist University Mustangs hope that 2010 will be the season when all the right pieces come together. Last season, the team made huge strides, becoming the most improved team in the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. In coach June Jones' second season, SMU finished with an overall record of 8-5. The winning record, which was good enough to lock up 2nd place in Conference USA West, came just one year after a 1-11 finish.
The season ended on a strong note when the Mustangs dismantled the University of Nevada by a score of 45-10 in the 2009 Hawaii Bowl - SMU's first bowl game in 25 years.
SMU will be led by the dazzling young quarterback Kyle Padron, who threw for 1,922 yards and 10 touchdowns in his freshman season. With a year of college football now under his belt, Padron is expected to carry the team on his back in pursuit of Conference Championship and another bowl game appearance. The Mustangs open their season on September 5 against Texas Tech, and take on the TCU Horned Frogs in the Battle for the Iron Skillet rivalry at home on September 24.
2009 SMU Football Preview: Head Coach: June Jones Things are looking up for the SMU Mustangs heading into the 2009 season. That is mostly because year one of June Jones tenure as Head Coach of the SMU Mustangs did not get off to the start that most people expected. SMU finished 2008 with a 1-11 record and was blown out of a few games. But the beauty of college football is that each season the slate is wiped clean, so hope springs eternal for the Ponies. If Jones can find a quarterback to lead his high powered offense and get his defense respectable, then expect to see a fun to watch, high scoring team at Ford Field.
2008 SMU Football Preview: Head Coach: June Jones The Southern Methodist University Mustangs football program has a rich history and boasts great success in the past. After a tough 2007 season amid rumors of a coaching change, SMU athletics has announced that Phil Bennett will remain head coach and will look to lead the team up the Conference USA ranks and compete for their first C-USA title. Gerald J. Ford Stadium will roar as Mustangs fans try to help push their team to a conference championship and a return to form.
I had never purchased bowl game tickets online. The buying process was easy, thank you!Barbara - Kansas City, MO

Bouchon's dineLA Lunch
With one more day remaining in to take advantage of dineLA's prix fixe, I thought I'd better get another review in. This time it's Bouchon, Thomas Keller's relatively affordable French bistro in Beverly Hills.
The $25 lunch includes a choice of Soupe du Jour, Salade Maraichere, Mousse de Foie de Volaille, or, for an additional $3.00, Tartare de Saumon for the first course, and Confit de Canard, Tartine de Thon Nicoise, Moules au Safran, or, for an additional $5.00, Salade de Steak for the second course. A dessert course can be added-on for $4.00 and includes a choice of Creme Caramel, Creme Glacee / Sorbet aux Fruits, or Bouchons. (For full descriptions, check the dineLA page: http://discoverlosangeles.com/restaur...)
The meal started off with the bread service, with a ramekin of butter, a small ceramic container of mustard, and a pain d'epi, a loaf of bread shaped like a wheat stalk. The butter was creamy and salty, the mustard was tart and spicy, both of which elevated the bread, which was good but nothing special.
For my first course, I decided on the Mousse de Foie de Volaille ("chicken liver mousse with red wine poached prunes and toasted pain de campagne"). I tried little frisee salad on the side first, and was surprised that the dressing tasted of star anise. The mousse was very good. The sweetness of the prunes and the salty unctuousness of the mousse played off each other very well. The country bread was quite hard, not just toasted to a crisp, but it actually hurt my gums biting into it. I had to switch to the pain d'epi to enjoy the mousse.
For my second course, I decided on the Moules au Safran ("Maine bouchot mussels, steamed with white wine, mustard & saffron served with French fries"). The mussels were not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but I had better at FIG recently. The mussels themselves were just a bit shriveled, like mollusks get when overcooked. The broth that the mussels were cooked in was too tart to be consumed as soup, but it was still excellent for consuming with the remainder of the pain d'epi as a delivery vessel.
The frites were above average, and the aioli had a very subtle garlic flavor and a heavier olive oil taste. I'd rather have grilled baguette slices to eat with my moules, but it was a good accompaniment.
I had to get back to work, so I asked my waiter if I could get the dessert course to go. He said it was no problem, and I opted for the creme caramel, since it was the only dessert that did not have an ice cream component to it. Also, I happen to love creme caramel, so that worked out. Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of it (example from Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rickpoon...), but it was excellent.
In conclusion, I had high expectations for both food and service, and Bouchon definitely exceeded my expectations on the latter. The food, though not bad, did not quite meet my albeit lofty expectations. The chicken liver mousse was excellent, but the mussels were not as good as I had hoped. Still the entire meal was above average, and definitely a steal at $25 for what appeared to be full-size appetizers and desserts, and for a smaller, but still satisfactory, portion of the main course (I saw a full order of the Moules au Safran, and it seemed like quite a bit more, which makes sense considering it's more than the dineLA prix fixe amount on its own on the regular menu).
The highlight of the meal was definitely the level of service, which was among best I've experienced. The waitstaff were attentive without being intrusive, apologetic when something went "wrong" (I finished my water once during the meal, and my waiter, being busy with other tables, left me with an empty glass for a whole 2-3 minutes, oh the horror--sarcasm, if you can't tell) without being sycophantic. Truly excellent service.

It sounds like you are on a mussel hunt. Perhaps that should be your next "crawl?" I don't order them often so am nowhere near the connoisseur you appear to be, but some of the best I've had lately were at Tasting Kitchen and MB Post. Would love to see where you would choose to go to find ones that stack up to Fig.
re: Juji
It seems that mussels are everywhere these days. Tomorrow night my wife and I are going to try Raphael's dineLA menu for an early dinner (going to a concert at Gibson Amphitheatre after), and they have it on their menu. I may just have to order it.
For what it's worth, I've read reviews of the mussels at Bouchon, and some have mentioned them being plump and juicy, not like what I had. I think even if the mussels themselves were perfect, the tart broth is still not for me.
I really need to get to MB Post, it's been on my radar for a while and keeps getting mentioned on CH.
re: foufou
That sounds great, foufou! I know some people don't drink the steamed mussel broth, but I always at least try it. The one at MB Post sounds like it's definitely meant to be enjoyed.
Okay, now I'm definitely going to order the mussels at Raphael to see how it compares to FIG's and Bouchon's. It's made with chorizo, which sounds interesting, and served with grilled bread...
re: PeterCC
Peter, thank you for your detailed review.....Maudie5 and you both seem to have had great lunch experiences. I think it would be impossible to not have high expectations of a Thomas Keller restaurant.....
re: PeterCC
hm interestingly enough I had some great mussels @ sweet salt in toluca lake.
something like $13 bucks for a giant bowl. Had chorizo and shaved fennel - i used the bread to soak up every last bit of broth.
might want to check it out if you're in the area - costs as much as one of your sushi lunches ;) they only serve the mussels @ dinner though. (also to make sure they still serve it)
re: ns1
Beautiful preparation of Moules et frites at Tavern. www.tavernla.com
A huge portion of mussels and fries and good bread. No need for appetizers or dessert. This was one hearty and very delicious dish. A great preparation. We sat in the bar. Somehow, Moules et Frites seems to be perfect bar food.

Benzinga: Former CVS Caremark chairman says employer mandate delay only adds confusion to marketplace
NEW YORK — The Obama administration's delay in implementing a key healthcare provision in 2014 only serves to add confusion around the overall package, especially as individuals will still be required to buy health insurance or pay a penalty, Mac Crawford, Crawford Ross partner and former CVS Caremark chairman, told Benzinga Wednesday.
In the end, it takes one possible insurance marketplace out of play for individuals at least til 2015, he said.
Crawford didn't speculate as to whether a delay on the individual mandate would follow the employer mandate delay. Implementing the reform with the employer mandate will make it more difficult for individuals.
Update: A previous version of this article stated Crawford as former CEO of CVS Caremark. The company has informed us he was chairman. We apologize for the error.

Natural food recipes for your diabetic diet plan. Whole grains and fresh unprocessed foods - nature's best treatment for living with diabetes!
Eating with diabetes means eating healthy. But many cookbooks for people with diabetes substitute artificial sweeteners and processed foods at the expense of great flavor. Now if you want to make healthier choices, you don't have to give up good food!
The All-Natural Diabetes Cookbook features 150 recipes that focus on whole foods and unprocessed ingredients. You can enjoy: Blanco Huevos Rancheros, Creole-Style Red Beans and Rice, Roasted Wild Salmon Fillet with Orange-Miso Sauce, Horseradish Pork Tenderloin on Naan with Arugula, and much, much more! You can do away with artificial ingredients that leave you feeling unfulfilled! Forget those "fat-free" products that are really just flavorless! Healthy eating is not only good, it's also great tasting!
©2007 Jacqueline R. Newgent, RD Softcover, 8 x 9, 347 pages
As a dietitian, I often recommend cookbooks to my clients—including those with diabetes. I'm so happy to be able to recommend this compendium of truly terrific recipes by Jackie Newgent, RD. The fact that they're all-natural is a big plus, as I advise keeping foods as "real" as possible. And the recipes are simple to follow. I personally love the recipes, too … especially the California Avocado-Bean Salad with Salsa Verde and the Sweet Potato Burrito Spirals with Bell Pepper-Avocado "Crème" Sauce. The All-Natural Diabetes Cookbook is a definite must-have for people with diabetes that want to eat better while eating deliciously.

Kosher Salads & Salad Dressings
|Shirazi Salad
Persian Food from the Non-persian Bride, by Reyna Simnegar
Did you ever hear the rumor that Sephardic men never ever, ever do any housework? Well, I can testify that my father-in-law, Ezzy, has never, ever changed a diaper! However, he is the best fruit-and-vegetable-cutter there is! If you want anything peeled, chopped, or cut—he is the man! So, whenever he comes to visit I know I can count on him to do all my chopping! So much for stereotypes! When it comes to Shirazi salad, he is my personal chopper! You might think this salad is almost identical to Israeli salad, and you might be right—just don't say it to any one born in Shiraz!
Many people use cilantro in this recipe instead of mint. It is fabulous either way.
Mix all vegetables together.
Right before serving pour dressing over and toss salad.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Yield: 3 cups
Watch Reyna demonstrate how to prepare Shirazi Salad.
Recipes: Salads, Vegetable, Persian, Parve, Kosher

Middletown High School senior Zach Welch hurt his knee in the third quarter of Saturday's Class 2A state championship football game, and though he returned, the injury still limited him. Much to Welch's dismay, Middletown's coaching staff kept him on the sideline with the ball near the goal line during a late drive.
He paced. He pleaded. He waved his arms.
None of it helped.
"It wasn't even just for a carry," Welch said. "It didn't matter what play we were running. I just wanted to be on the field. I just love being on that field with my brothers and my family."
In the end, it didn't matter. Middletown's do-everything star found a new role: water boy. He unscrewed Gatorade bottles and handed them to teammates so Middletown coach Kevin Lynott would get a celebratory shower. Middletown's 30-12 victory over Frederick Douglass gave the program its second straight state title.
Middletown's motto has been "Finish 14," and Saturday's game — the third straight year Middletown's season has ended at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, including a loss to McDonough in 2010 and a win against Frederick Douglass last season — gave this Middletown team a 14-0 record.
"I think, every year, 'Finish 14' has a different meaning," Lynott said. "I believe our guys in 2010 did finish 14 the best we could. Last year, first state championship. This year, it's the perfect dream, and that's the 14 and 0."
The game also nearly included the perfect play — one that encompasses why Middletown has won 22 straight games.
Middletown blocked a field goal late in the second quarter and Cody Martin returned the ball 97 yards for an apparent touchdown.
"We stress the little things of being smart and plays like that," Lynott said. "We fully knew that was a live football."
But the officials ruled an inadvertent whistle had blown, negating the return though still counting the blocked field goal. Lynott called timeout and spoke with the referees on the field.
"It's our ball," Lynott said in a calming voice as he returned to the sideline, completely ignoring the return that had been taken away.
Still, Lynott said the halftime mood was like a "funeral," despite Middletown's 9-0 lead. But the attitude changed quickly.
"We were meeting as coaches and we come in, and I hear the guys just talking about, going, 'We're going to be OK. We're alright,'" Lynott said.
That's the preparation, the focus, the mental toughness that Middletown has shown week after week.
Before its championship last season, no team had lost more state finals before winning one than Middletown, which finished as state runner-up in 2010, 2002, 1991 and 1981. Now, with two straight titles, any lingering doubt about Middletown's ability to compete at the highest level has been put to rest.
"We've taken another step as a program," Lynott said.
Frederick Douglass (12-2), on the other hand, has now lost three state title games without a championship — including 1975 and a 43-6 loss to Middletown last season.
"I'm definitely proud," Douglass coach J.C. Pinkney said. "Any time you can get here — this school has been on hiatus on this for 30-some years. To make it back-to-back seasons, I already know we're doing the right things and ours guys are doing what they need to do."
Lynott, sharing the crowded stage with nine of his players, also commended his players.
Welch ran for 124 yards and one touchdown, but he had plenty of help. Tim Pirrone threw touchdown passes to Bradley Rinehart (two) and Sean Wenner. Jess Powell ran for 75 yards and the defense held Frederick Douglass to 53 rushing yards.
Welch's toughness, in many ways, was the catalyst for all of it, Lynott said.
"If a bone was sticking out, I probably still wouldn't be worried, even though it's probably not going to be popular for him to play or me to say," Lynott said. "But, that guy, you'd have to get the [security guards] to pull him off that field."
Somehow, Lynott held Welch out of those late goal line plays, but that didn't dim a total team effort.
How did this championship compare to last season?
"It's just as great," Welch said with a grin. "Maybe a little better."

Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton will be pushing hard to achieve a strong weekend for Mercedes in Korea...
Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton will be pushing hard to achieve a strong weekend for Mercedes in Korea.
For all the latest F1 odds on the Korean GP, round 14 of the 2013 F1 Championship, visit Sky Bet.
Nico Rosberg: "I like the layout of the Korea International Circuit very much. It's a good combination of long straights and hairpins where it is ideal to overtake. There is also a very fast flowing section with many linked corners round the back which is a big driving challenge. I hope we can achieve a strong team result in Korea to improve our position in the championship and we will all be pushing very hard to achieve this."
Lewis Hamilton: "I'm looking forward to getting to Korea this week and going racing again. I've had a couple of decent results at the Korea International Circuit over the past three years and I do enjoy the circuit layout. It's a good racing track with places that you can attack to overtake which makes it a good challenge for the drivers. We'll be hoping to improve our qualifying performance this weekend to give the best possible chance in the race and I hope we can have a strong weekend in Korea."
Ross Brawn - team principal: "This will be our fourth visit to the Korea International Circuit and the first race of an intense period with six Grands Prix in just eight weeks before the end of the season. The track itself has a reasonably slow layout but is a good challenge for the cars and drivers. The long straights at the start of the lap are followed by a tight and twisty second half which is closely pinned in by the walls. Our focus for the last few races is very much to improve and then retain our position in the Constructors' Championship and to end the season on a high. Of course, we would love another race win but consistency and strong points finishes to achieve our aim are more important for the team and both of our drivers."
Toto Wolff - Mercedes motorsport chief: "In the three races since the summer break, our team has scored an average of 20 points per Grand Prix. But it's a measure of our expectations now that we have left each circuit disappointed that we didn't achieve even more. That's a feeling we'll be looking to change this weekend. The Yeongam circuit is a combination of long straights and mainly slow to medium-speed corners that should suit our car, which will also receive an aerodynamic update for this race. We have six races to go this season and a clear target of securing second place in the Constructors' Championship. To achieve that, we need to maximise every opportunity that comes our way with both Nico and Lewis, beginning this weekend."

Racists Totally Freak Out Over Muslim 'Batman of Paris'
Another day, another racist freakout over non-white superheroes. But unlike the hilariously dishonest racism we saw when the Council of Conservative Citizens called for a boycott of Marvel's Thor movie on account of a mythical Norse god's depiction as a black man, a recent round of conservative attacks on Nightrunner -- DC's Muslim Batman of Paris -- are prejudicial in a more insidious way. While the CCC put forth a laughably tenuous justification for their outrage, it was with respect to one specific character i

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (April 12, 2011) - A two-home run day for senior catcher Derek Trent (Kingsport, Tenn.) powered the ETSU baseball team to a 6-3 win over USC Upstate in a non-conference game Tuesday night at Harley Park in Spartanburg, S.C.
With the win, the Bucs (21-9, 11-5 A-Sun) have now won five straight dating back to the 9-4 win over Appalachian State last Wednesday. Trent went 3-for-5 in the contest with five RBI and scored two runs as ETSU outhit the Spartans (12-23, 6-10 A-Sun) 10-7.
Kerry Doane (Ft. Lauderdale. Fla.) and Paul Hoilman (Johnson City, Tenn.) also had multiple hits in the game as Doane was 3-for-5 with a double, while Hoilman went 2-for-4 with a walk and scored a run.
Junior Bo Reeder (Cookeville, Tenn.) set the ETSU single season saves record picking up his 12th save in as many opportunities after retiring three of the four batters he faced in the ninth.
Dak Rissman (West Palm Beach, Fla.) improved to 4-0 on the year after throwing 3.0 strong innings of relief allowing only one run (none earned) on two hits with one strikeout, while sophomore Scott McNally (Marietta, Ga.) looked good in a no decision limiting the Spartans to two runs (one earned) in 5.0 innings and struck out three with three walks.
Andrew Wyant was tabbed with the loss for USC Upstate as the righty surrendered five runs (four earned) in 6.0 innings of relief.
Trent gave the Bucs a 3-0 lead in the top of the third as he snuck a three-run homer inside the foul pole down the right field line.
The Spartans cut the ETSU lead to 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth. Blake Green scored on a throwing error by second baseman Derek Niesman (Wellington, Fla.) before Trey Richardson drove in a run on a ball hit to first.
Tyler Miller evened the game at 3-all in the bottom of the sixth as he drove in Anthony Vacca on a ball hit to second.
In the top of the seventh, Trent crushed a 2-1 pitch over the right field fence for a two-run homer to regain the lead, 5-3.
The Bucs plated an insurance run in the top of the ninth on a Dylan Pratt (Johnson City, Tenn.) sac fly to center to make the score 6-3 ETSU.
ETSU is set to close out the South Carolina swing against Furman tomorrow at 6 p.m. in a non-conference game at Latham Stadium in Greenville, S.C. For more information on ETSU baseball and all other Buccaneer athletic news please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

BBD Assistant Editor: Joe Marino
I'll never forget watching the 2003 NFL Draft. It was my third year of being truly interested in following football in a deeper level and keeping up with college football's top prospects as they entered the NFL. In 2001, I began evaluating prospects and creating my own rankings and draft boards so by the 2003 draft, I felt like I was on my way to being the next Mel Kiper.
In the fourth round, with the No. 111 overall pick, the Buffalo Bills selected cornerback Terrence McGee out of Northwestern State and I was instantly humbled. Why? I had never heard of McGee. After all of my preparations, I didn't even know a player who was taken in the fourth round. I took it hard and vowed to make sure this never happened again while taking my studies of players to an even deeper level.
Ten years later, a player here and there gets drafted that wasn't on my radar but it's very rare. This passion and drive for evaluating prospects has lead me to this great opportunity to share my work with you on Buffalo Bills Draft and now the debut of this scouting column. As for McGee, he went on to have a stellar 10-year career in the NFL; he holds six Bills franchise records and has been selected as an All-Pro on two occasions.
I have plenty in store for the 2014 season as I introduce a new crop of future NFL players. This column will be a great source to familiarize yourself with the prospects that will be selected next spring. Over the course of the season, I will feature more than 150 prospects for the 2015 draft as I highlight them in their biggest games, provide initial positional rankings, make predictions, and spotlight some of today's best NFL draft analysts and football minds.
I hope you enjoy the 2014-15 College Football season and stay tuned as I share my thoughts.

Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Mike Conley netted eight of his 15 points in a crucial stretch late in the fourth quarter as the Memphis Grizzlies stayed perfect on their road trip with a 106-102 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers from Staples Center.
Zach Randolph turned in a 26-point, 15-rebound effort for Memphis, which improved to 3-0 on its current four-game California road trip after dropping the first three road tests of the season. The swing wraps up on Wednesday in Golden State.
Marc Gasol tallied 23 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in the triumph. Kosta Koufos made all five of his shots for 10 points for Memphis, which played most of the game after Tony Allen was ejected for kicking LA point guard Chris Paul in the face.
"I accidentally kicked him in the head, but I'm pretty sure he knows it's accidental and that isn't my style of play," Allen said.
Paul was surprised Allen was ejected.
"I know Tony. He didn't do it on purpose," he said.
Paul became the first player since Magic Johnson to begin the season with 11 straight 10-point, 10-assist double-doubles and finished a rebound shy of a triple-double in defeat. Paul registered 18 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds.
Blake Griffin chimed in with 23 points and 11 rebounds while DeAndre Jordan grabbed 16 boards.
Memphis held a 90-88 lead midway through the fourth when Conley stepped up with a deep 3-pointer and a five-point advantage. He then hit jumpers on the front and back end of an 8-0 run that boosted the Grizzlies to a 101-91 lead with 1:51 left.
The Clippers did not lay down, as Jordan came back with two quick buckets at the rim and J.J. Redick made a pair of free throws to pull the home team within four with a half-minute remaining.
Randolph pushed the lead back to six twice, with two foul shots with 28.6 seconds and a layup on a Gasol feed with 15.8. Jamal Crawford's desperation 3 with less than two seconds remaining would not be a factor.
Earlier, the Grizzlies led by 10 late in the first period when Allen was handed a Flagrant 2 for his inadvertent kick to Paul's face. Paul came back with four quick points but Randolph ended the period with six of his own for a 29-20 lead.
Memphis held a slim margin for the duration of the second quarter and led by one at halftime, 52-51, after Jared Dudley's jumper from 19 feet beat the buzzer.
The loss snapped a four-game LA winning streak ... This was the 100th straight
home sellout for the Clippers ... Redick and Matt Barnes scored 12 points
apiece ... LA shot just 7-for-23 from behind the arc ... Memphis hit 48.1
percent of its shots, while the Clippers shot at just a 39.5 percent clip.

Transmitting one watt at 900 MHz, the modems pack quite a punch, but the stock rubber-duck antennae suck. What's worse, the internal antenna connector is nonstandard, and we've been as yet unsuccessful at identifying it. Adding better antennae makes it easy to surpass the maybe-a-mile distances achievable on the stock omnis, but first, we need a way to connect those antennae.
(Note: This Instructable originally identified the stock connector as a Hirose H.FL, but we've now confirmed that this is not the case. It's very similar, but not quite identical! If better information comes down about the connector itself, it will be posted here.)
Fortunately, it's relatively easy to replace the H.FL with the much more common (and much smaller) U.FL connector, which is found on MiniPCI wireless cards, among other places. Thus modified, the modem is easy to equip with the new antenna of your choice. The operation is straightforward, and this instructable is as much about good soldering technique as it is about the specific task at hand.
Because the radio modem was certified to meet FCC Part 15 requirements with its built-in antenna, changing that antenna breaks the certification, just like changing the antenna on an 802.11 device. This may fall under part 15.23 but I'm not a lawyer and can't say for certain whether a user-modified device counts as a home-built device. Refrain from pissing people off, and the feds should have no reason to bother you.
Or, if you're an amateur radio operator, you can operate under Part 97. Either way, if half-mile links were typical on the rubber ducks, just imagine what you'll achieve with some decently directional antennae!
This is my first instructable. Please be unsparing with your constructive criticism.
GT modem connector pinout is here:
I should probably make that clearer in the intro, thank you for pointing it out. There's a ModemBasics page on the Ricochet hackers' wiki, which I'm working on expanding.

Welcome SW VA Rush!
Radford Soccer Club has officially become the Southwest Virginia Rush!
Club President, Kathy Harris officially signed the Licensing & Services Agreement to make this the 34th Rush Club in the US. "For the past 14 years, Radford Soccer Club has committed to providing the best soccer experience that we possibly could do for our club. With our continued growth both from our membership and everything else that comes with that growth, we feel that the affiliation with Rush Soccer is the next step in the evolution of Radford Soccer. The Southwest Virginia Rush will allow us to open even more doors and provide our players a chance to play at all levels. When it came to choosing a club to partner with, choosing the Rush was a no brainer. They have a great track record and we are excited to be part of Rush Nation," claimed Harris.
Servicing the Southwestern part of Virginia and 171 players from U10-U19 + 31 players in pre academy K-3d), Southwest VA Rush, along with new Technical Director, Adam Ritchie (formerly the Technical Director of Maryland Rush) are looking forward to the new partnership. "I am excited to have been chosen to lead the new Southwest VA Rush. Rush has so much to offer all of our players. They will have opportunities that no other club in the area can provide, from the Rush Select program to guest playing with other Rush clubs across the country. This will be a great opportunity for all of the players in the New River Valley and Southwest Virginia."
"Rush has been in Virginia for over a decade, so the brand is well known. To add a second club in the state and have it led by Adam Richie who is well versed in the Rush Way, is a great addition to the region. We are excited to welcome the new club," said Rush Regional Technical Director Arian Hoxha.

Seized bagpipes to be returned to piping pair
Campbell Webster planned to leave today with his father's bagpipes — the exact set his dad used to play before Queen Elizabeth every day for five years — for a competition with the world's top bagpipers in Scotland.
But after a weekend competition in Canada, the Concord teenager watched the U.S. Border Patrol in Vermont seize his instrument along with his friend's on Sunday because parts contained ivory.
"I did take those same pipes to Canada and back in February to play at my grandmother's funeral and had no problem at all," the teenager said Monday.
"They're saying we're not going to get them back," Lezlie Webster, Campbell's mother, said Monday afternoon. "Really devastating." That all changed a few hours later, when Mrs. Webster heard from a U.S. Fish and Wildlife official that the bagpipes would be released overnight or today.
"This story has a happy ending," she said Monday night.
The two teenagers had carried certificates from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to verify the ivory wasn't taken after a ban was enacted in the 1970s.
The two teens, including Eric Bean, 17, of Londonderry, and family members spent the night Sunday in Vermont, so they could try to get their instruments back Monday from the border crossing at Highgate Springs, Vt., before the teens flew to Scotland today.
But the news wasn't promising.
Campbell, 17, had decided he would have to use an instrument offered by a company in the United Kingdom.
"Every thing is pretty much judged on your sound when you are competing," he said. "These are such outstanding bagpipes..."
The Webster family contacted Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's office, who promised to try to resolve the issue.
"Our office is in touch with the families and the appropriate federal agencies. We're hoping for an expedited solution," said Shaheen Press Secretary Elizabeth Keningsberg.
Attempts were unsuccessful to reach U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Fish and Wildlife, which issued the certificate verifying the ivory's date.
Last Wednesday, the day before the Websters headed to Canada, Mrs. Webster found out she might have needed an amended form of some sort that she couldn't obtain in time and was warned the bagpipes could be seized.
Campbell Webster's antique bagpipes were manufactured in 1936 in Scotland and belonged to his father, Gordon Webster, 55, a renowned bagpiper who was 9th Sovereign Piper to her Majesty the Queen of England Elizabeth II and former Pipe Major of the Scotch Guard 1st and 2nd Battalion.
"I have been all over the world and never had a problem with people taking my bagpipes," Gordon Webster said.
The Webster bagpipes are worth about $10,000, although Mr. Webster said they will always remain in the family.

Obviously Brady is the superior QB, but who is gonna put up the most fantasy numbers?
This league is 1 PPC and 25 yards passing per point.
I think Henne should do well in completions in yardage but TDs are what bother me the most. Also if Miami finds themselves behind early and the fact they haven't really run the ball well this preseason, I could see Henne throwing it 40 or more times.
I have Brady starting right now, should I just stick with him?


text: There has been ducking on both sides but this is a FACT....Manny refused the needle because he said it makes his body weird or he wont be 100 percent or whatever the excuse was....now, hes demanding the SAME TEST against Rios? So all of a sudden he doesnt mind needles anymore? That makes no sense...i agree Floyd did his share of ducking but Floyd is the better boxer, the bigger draw, and he offered Manny more money (BY FAR) than he has ever made in his life to fight....and Manny turned it down...its pretty clear nowadays whos the better boxer....and shame on Manny for wanting to fight in China becasue of the Taxes....we as Americans made him super rich and a fucking superstar....NO OTHER COUNTRY is responsible for his massive fame....AMERICA did it....thats a FACT...and now he snubs his nose at us to fight in China....weak sauce

The Cubs exercised their part of the option for Aramis Ramirez while he declined his. By exercising the option the Cubs are now off the hook for the $2 million buyout. Later in the day, the Cubs declined the $3.0 million option on Jeff Samardzija and will re-sign him for 20% less than he made last year. That would be $2.24 million and Samardzija would be eligible for arbitration after next season. The Cubs haven't yet officially signed Samardzija, but they intend to.
It had become pretty clear to the Cubs over the last couple months that Ramirez wanted a multi-year contract. The Cubs made the smart decision to exercise the option and they saved a couple million. The next decision with regards to Ramirez is whether or not they will offer him arbitration. The Cubs have until November 23rd to do so. If Ramirez signs before then the Cubs automatically get a sandwich pick in next June's draft. If they do not offer arbitration and he signs elsewhere, they get nothing.
Declining the option on Samardzija was basically common sense. You can pay him as much as 20% less than he made in 2011 or you can pay him more than he made. As much as some people may want to say this is a sign of good things from the front office, this is exactly what the last front office would have done. It's what any front office would do. It was the only decision to make.
My guess is the Cubs do offer Ramirez arbitration, which brings up something else. The Red Sox, more often than not, let their own free agents walks at the end of their contracts in order to get draft picks. We can expect the Cubs will now do the same thing. They signed some, but not near as many as we're used to seeing the Cubs re-sign. So don't get too attached to any one player.
