Utah's Tiny Derrick Gibson Is a Dervish Who Makes Bigger Tumblers Bounce Up and Take Notice
"When I see a stretch of lawn," explains Gibson, "I have to give in and do a back flip or two."
At a mere 4'9" and 80 lbs., Gibson, just out of seventh grade at Central Davis Junior High, might be mistaken at rest for a slightly oversize bookend. But he has already put in seven years on the amateur tumbling circuit and has won six national age-group titles and the 1986 world championship for 11- and 12-year-olds. Tumbling differs from gymnastics, the sport of Nadia Comaneci and Mary Lou Retton, in that it is more athletic and less balletic: The sport involves a straight run, a takeoff and a lot of fast flips. Gibson seems to have it down cold. "Guys nearly twice his age will go to national meets, take one look at Derrick and think, 'He's too tiny. It will be a cinch to outdo him,' " says Lori Davidson, one of the nation's top tumbling coaches. "But as soon as Derrick runs down that mat, they start to think differently. He blows them away."
One of seven children, Gibson started practicing somersaults on the family coffee table when he was two years old. Four years later, his mother, Mieke, grew tired of buying Super Glue to mend her furniture, so his father, Hi, an electrician, arranged to do some repairs for a local gym in exchange for tumbling lessons for their son. At 8, Gibson became the youngest tumbler in the world to perform a full-twisting double back flip and was well on his way to refining his repertoire. "It's kind of like a rush," he says. "I feel a tingle all over. Practicing three hours a day four days a week can wear me out, but I always feel great when I'm done."
In preparation for competitions, Gibson bulks up—more or less—on lasagna. "I don't like vegetables," he says. "But Mom makes me eat them anyway." His long-term goal is to "get real rich and build a gym." Meantime, having won a spot last year as the youngest member of the U.S. Tumbling Team, he anxiously anticipates the 1992 Olympics, when platform tumbling debuts as an exhibition sport. Says Jim Aamodt, a U.S. Team coach and Gibson's longtime mentor: "If you think he's good now, just wait until then."

Wally Hall is the managing sports editor for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. A graduate of the University of Arkansas-Little Rock after an honorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force, he is a past president and member of the Football Writers Association of America, member of the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, past president and current executive committee and board member of the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame, and voter for the Heisman Trophy.
Football's sport within the sport in high gear
Bret Bielema will announce his second signing class in less than two weeks.
There are several legitimate websites that deal with recruiting. Most rank the players and even the schools pursuing them.
With 13 days left until college football's national signing date, the rankings probably will change a little, but right now the Arkansas Razorbacks are doing OK. Just OK. At least on paper.
Recruiting is a not an exact science; never has been and never will be.
Injuries, grades and even the level of high school competition can easily change a can't-miss kid into an average player.
Several years ago I was watching an early fall Razorbacks practice with Bill Gray, a former assistant athletic director who had some coaching experience and was one of the most versatile athletes in Arkansas history.
The Hogs had a highly recruited freshman running back from Texas, and he looked all-world. That comment was made to Gray.
"Maybe all-airport," he replied quietly. "He looks great in his uniform, but he doesn't cut well."
The player had a decent career with the Hogs but was never a star.
Bobby Petrino said he didn't pay attention to recruiting sites. The former Razorbacks coach evaluated a player's potential by what he and his staff saw on tape or in their camps.
Yet, from the end of the BCS Championship Game until national signing day Feb. 5, recruiting is the No. 1 college football sport, and it is a sport of its own.
Our man Richard Davenport gets tens of thousands of page hits on our website almost every day this time of the year. Richard covers recruiting 365 days a year and has tons of followers, and in the final days leading up to national signing day his blog has been known to slow down our entire computer system because of its popularity.
Right now - and this is according to just about any recruiting website you visit - the SEC is cleaning up.
Alabama is No. 1 and has one scholarship remaining, but of the top 15 teams, eight are from the SEC.
Currently Tennessee is No. 3, but the Vols have 33 commitments and can sign only 25, so their total score will drop.
The rankings vary a little, but a consensus of the SEC would be Texas A&M (No. 5), LSU (6), Auburn (7), Florida (8), Georgia (11), Kentucky (14), Ole Miss (15), South Carolina (24), Arkansas (29), Missouri (33), Mississippi State (43) and Vanderbilt (75).
Vandy dropped like a brick after Coach James Franklin left and started recruiting players who had committed to the Commodores for his new school, Penn State.
Aside from Tennessee, which has to try to convince eight to walk on for a semester (it's called grayshirting because you sit out a semester instead of a year), most have scholarships available.
The Razorbacks, who have lots of needs this year, have five more to offer. If Bret Bielema and his staff can get those from their A list, they should move up some, but there is no way they are moving ahead of those top eight SEC schools.
Missouri, coming off one of the greatest seasons in school history, has 25 commitments so it may not move up. It is also a little surprising the Tigers have zero five-star recruits and only two four-star recruits.
There are a handful of five-star recruits who have not made their final decision. Two are from Alabama and one each from Louisiana and Florida, which means if anything the SEC may strengthen its stranglehold on the recruiting class of 2014.
It also means the rich are getting richer.
Recruiting is its own sport, and it is played 365 days a year.

Hastings Street is set to become even more fun and colourful this evening (Friday 15 July) with more than 300 street performers in costumes and feathers strutting along the road for the spectacular free Opening Carnivale Infusion Parade, kicking off the 15th annual Noosa Long Weekend Festival.
Noosa Food & Wine 2016 brought about 10,000 people to Noosa to sip and savour their way through more than 40 events on Noosa's Main Beach, along Hastings Street, by the Noosa River, in restaurants and markets, and through the hinterland.
Mountain bike trails snake their way up and down hill through Tewantin National Park, just 10km west of Noosa Heads, and it's a fun – and unexpected – experience that's so close to the water activity that Noosa is usually known for.

Product Description
Besides this peek into a less-romanticized version of the past, John Adams is also a story of the man himself. Adams' frustration at being forgotten or overlooked at critical junctures of America's early development--sent abroad for years instead of helping to draft the U.S. constitution--is detailed. So is his dismay that the truth of what actually transpired leading to the signing of the Declaration of Independence has been slowly forgotten and replaced by a rosier myth. But above all, John Adams is the story of two key ties: Adams' 54-year marriage to Abigail Adams (Laura Linney), every bit her husband's intellectual equal and anchor, and his difficult, almost symbiotic relationship with Thomas Jefferson (Stephen Dillane) over decades. Giamatti, of course, has to carry much of the drama, and if he doesn't always seem quite believable in the series' first half, he becomes increasingly excellent at the point where an aging Adams becomes bitter over his place in history. Linney is marvelous, as is Dillane, Sarah Polley as daughter Nabby, Danny Huston as cousin Samuel Adams, and above all Tom Wilkinson as a complex but indispensable Ben Franklin. --Tom Keogh

Paul Giamatti's performance in the title role is much in dispute as he, like many other actors, seems to play himself as much as his character. He turns from a loving father to the lawyer and representative who sometimes looks apoplectic rather than just an angry or fiery patriot. Much to his credit, I felt the John Adams of later years on subsequent episodes was extremely well-acted.
Abigail Adams is played by Laura Linney, and her performance is superb and not the least in dispute. From the first moment, she is thoroughly credible as the vivacious lover, friend, confidante, advisor, and wife of John Adams. Her acting here should garner her an Emmy. The actors protraying Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson turned in stellar performances.
Many complain that this did not follow the book of the same title, and was not true to history exactly. To the first query the answer is what does? To the second, it is a well-written and well-acted drama that deserves our attention.
The series begins with the Boston Massacre and John Adams representing the British soldiers. With his successful defense, he is noticed by the Crown, as well as the colonials who are striving for independence. Both want his services. Adams chooses independence over the king and we see him as representative, foreign minister, beggar and borrower, ambassador, vice president, and president. His one anchor through these assignments and occupations in the struggle of a new nation is his love and respect for his wife, Abigail whom he always refers to as "my friend.Read more ›
The series insists on focusing on Adams' lows. It seems the writers took all the depressing elements of McCullough's book, which were few, and magnified those to center stage. For instance, John Adams' alcoholic son Charles has a major part in the series, but played a relatively minor role in the book. The mudslinging between Jefferson and Adams in Adams' second election for president was jettisoned for the Charles Adams storyline. Also, Adams, presented by McCullough, was a good natured man with a self-deprecating sense of humor. In the series he seems to live in misery.
They also took scenes that were generally upbeat and made them darker. When Adams meets King George III (in my opinion the climax of the story - or at least the first half of the story) in the book, the King is very polite and friendly (much like his portrayal in The Madness of King George III). He smiled a lot and made Adams more comfortable, if not less in awe. In the series the King is just plain weird. I can only guess the filmmakers were hinting at King George's future illness/madness. It's almost as if this series is based on another book about John Adams - a darker book. This series really missed the tone of McCullough's great book.
Still -- divorcing myself from the book -- I find this series is well-made and held my attention. Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney are very good. My advice would be to watch the series first, then read the book for a much more uplifting story.
Giamatti is simply brilliant as Adams. If he doesn't win the Emmy for this, I may declare my own independance from the "dark tyranny" of the ATAS. Linney is equally wonderful in her portrayal as the groundingly sapient Abigail. Their love story is one of the greatest in American history, and it's been marvelously recaptured here.
If it's even possible to have "spoilers" for a factual historical drama, then the following might qualify, but if you want to see what each eposide covers, here's my stab at it:
Episode 1: Join or Die.
Begins with the Boston Massacre, and covers the period leading up to Adams departure for Philidelphia to represent Massachusettes in the First Continental Congress.
Episode 2: Independance.
Covers the First Continental Congress, the beginning of the American Revolution at Lexington and Concord, the nomination of GW (by Adams) to serve as general of the new Continental Army, the Second Continental Congress, and Adams collaboration with Jefferson and Franklin to bring forth the Declaration of Independance.
Episode 3: Don't Tread on Me.Read more ›

Some high resolution superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometers have been developed designed for nerves, muscles, slices of brain tissue and small animals. In these SQUID system, diameters of the pickup coil were a few millimeters and the distances between the pickup coil and the outside surface of the dewer were a few millimeters. We developed a super high resolution SQUID magnetometer for biomagnetic measurement having higher spatial resolution than previous systems. In this system, diameter of the pickup coil is 200μm, the distance between the pickup coil and the outside surface of the dewar is 800μm. The typical system noise in the magnetic shielded room is 2.7pT/√Hz in the frequency of the white-noise region. The spatial resolution of this SQUID system is analyzed using are demonstrated on a current source model and MCG measurements of a human and a frog. The magnetic field pattern is able to separate the meander line of 500μm interval.

Children's Literature - Meredith KigerPiggy sets about describing his bedroom, and everything in it to the reader. He tells about all the ways he uses the various objects in his room for pretending. The reader gets the notion that Piggy's room is special to him, even his bed when he is tucked in with all his "friends" The illustrations are charming, and individualized as Piggy runs through the litany of items in his room. Perfect for pointing and naming for the youngest "readers"as they ready for bed. 1998 (orig.

On October 7 I posted an article to my website, The Macro Hedge, reviewing (in order) what I felt were the most likely next steps or "solutions" to the European crisis. As you can see from the excerpt below, I would have hit the nail on the head with the first one if it were actually true (my plan was a bit more bold, having the EFSF turned into a bank and not a bond insurance fund).
Despite the rumors being false regarding the €2 trillion insurance fund/backstop/bailout/whatever you want to call it, the question becomes, what does it mean for the market, and would this proposal even solve the issue in Europe? Bloomberg.com reported:
Global stocks rallied. France and Germany are engaged in "intensive talks" on bolstering the European Financial Stability Facility, Steffen Seibert, German Chancellor Angela Merkel's chief spokesman, said today. He declined in an interview to comment on a report in the Guardian that they reached agreement on increasing the size of the fund, saying he won't comment on intermediate results of the negotiations.
Short-Term Bear (For Now)
I am bearish on the next few months because I do not see Germany bailing out anyone to the extent or with the speed that the market anticipates. Obviously, if these rumors had been true, I would have been proven wrong, and anyone short should have immediately covered and sat in cash. I would not go long because the insurance fund's purpose would most likely be to allow Greece to default. In the short term the market might be ok with this and applaud the guarantee. Despite this, it is too risky to go long and pretend everything is ok. It will only be a matter of time before Portugal, Spain, or Italy needs a bailout and defaults on their debt as well. The bailout fund would not solve the crisis as it does not provide a solution for all the PIIGS regarding their anemic growth and burdensome debt levels that none of them will be able to pay back in full.
If you agree with my analysis, you can play this with futures, put spreads, or an ETF like SH to go short the S&P 500. I also use SDS and SPXU sometimes, but be wary of the fact that the longer you hold an ETN like SPXU (or it's opposite, UPRO), the more you lose to rebalancing.
If you like using put spreads, I would consider buying the Nov 120 puts on the SPY, selling the 116 or 115 puts (make the spread as wide or narrow as you'd like). November is a good month for this bet, because you have this recent run up on hope, comments from Merkel warning of disappointment in Brussels over the weekend, and riots in Greece over a new austerity vote Thursday.
Medium-Term (2012) Bear
If you read my articles regularly, you know that I am bearish on the market in both the coming months and for 2012, primarily because of Europe, but also because of China. It is my belief that austerity (forced spending cuts) will worsen countries that are already in a recession in the short term, as well as bring down previously growing economies. This trend has already started, as GDP throughout Europe has either gone more negative or has become less positive/stagnated. Germany will not bail out everyone without some assurance that the countries needing bailouts will trim fat and work toward being self-sufficient (only spending what they can afford). This will ensure that the global economy slows and 2012 earnings take a hit, as both Europe and China drag on the U.S. economy. The riots and Thursday's vote could prove interesting.
Long-Term Bull
As I have written before, I believe that high unemployment and a drop in the standard of living within developed nations will continue for years into the foreseeable future. However, it would surprise me if governments did not print money and fuel inflation as a way to escape the debt burdens currently weighing them down. As earnings are nominal and not real, both stocks and housing will outperform over the next decade. First, though, the global slowdown will drag stocks lower.
Here are the solutions or outcomes I posted October 7 on my website:
These are presented in order of likelihood. The first is only a temporary fix.
1. Turn the EFSF into a bank and guarantee as much as €2T to cover the contagion effect of a Greek default in order to prevent the collapse of the European banking system and a run on the banks.
This proposal is likely to face extreme headwinds from the stronger European countries as they are being asked to take on trillions of euro in debt and pay for the sins of the weak on the backs of future hard working generations. Finland has been demanding Greek real estate or a German guarantee before committing a couple billion to the recent increase to the EFSF proposed back in July. Slovakia followed suit behind Finland (which is stalling its approval) and the German people are getting agitated with the fact that 2 years of bailouts have done nothing to solve the problem. It is very unlikely that the fund is increased 3 fold as it doesn't solve the problem and just kicks the can further down the road. This solution allows for a 50%+ haircut on Greek debt (default) while hopefully preventing a banking crisis. It does not solve the root of the problem which lies in the attitudes of the citizens of the PIIGS. In order to prevent further bailouts and for the PIIGS to be able to rely on their own tax revenue to pay for spending, they have to become German. The PIIGS have to stop taking 2 hour nap breaks during the day, stop retiring at 50 years old, eliminate pensions, start working until 65+, start working 50 hours per week, privatize their economies, and do so with German ingenuity and efficiency. Sorry but, this is unlikely to happen. They will riot and protest instead as they are doing in Greece. Nobody wants to earn their money after having been given unearned entitlements for decades.
2. Keep the EU intact, but create a second currency for the weaker nations.
It has been estimated that a weaker currency for Greece and Portugal (and possibly Spain and Italy) would trade at a 40% discount to the Euro. This would allow them to grow via exports out of their debt for a decade or so and then rejoin the Euro once they have Germanized their work ethics and spending habits. This would be painful for Germany and require a messy initial break up and recession, but would work in the long run. It would be painful for Germany because their surplus was attained through strong exports. Whereas the drachma would be worth much less than the Euro, the German mark would be worth much more. The Germans have benefited from a weak currency which has made their goods cheaper to foreign nations. If they have a strong Euro and try exporting to weaker countries, they won't make as much money as their costs are in the strong currency, but their revenues are in the weak currency. Despite this negative, it is much better than all the weaker countries falling into a depression and no one buying German goods. This scenario would see the market go lower for a few years most likely, but then rebound hard as the global economy picks up steam.
3. Chaos. Greece gets fed up and leaves the EU as unemployment continues to rise and they can't export out of their debt. They default and go back to the drachma.
This would be good for Greece and bad for Europe. Greece gets a weaker currency which helps to promote job growth and they don't have to pay off their debts (unless of course someone invades them for walking away from their obligations). This would kill markets for a year or two especially if the stronger nations did have money ready to capitalize the banks once they are forced to mark Greek debt to market.
4. Germany leaves the Euro.
This is the least likely scenario. Germany would get killed by a strong mark and would not be able to export to anyone in the euro zone. This would send Germany into a depression and they would still have the issue of taking hundreds of billions in losses on bad debts. As you can imagine, this would lead to market chaos.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Obama the Deficit Hawk?Written by Charles Scaliger
President Obama, on whose watch the federal debt has grown by more than $5.9 trillion, and during whose administration America has become drearily accustomed to annual deficits measured in the trillions, is now boasting about cutting the deficit.
Calls echo and re-echo for the government to tax the rich more, always based upon the supposition that such a tax is fair and moral. But is it really fair, moral, or just?
Senator Rand Paul's introduced his National Right-to-Work Act on January 31. His legislation is well-timed, considering the shift from forced unionism states to right-to-work states accelerating around the country.
On its face the latest report from the Congressional Budget Office is gloomy enough, but careful sifting through it reveals excessive optimism that its predictions cannot hide: rising interest rates, increased healthcare costs thanks to ObamaCare, and the inevitable march of demographics and the aging Baby Boomers.

So I have the following at the top of
.scrollable-table {
height: 800px;
overflow: scroll;
.top-buffer { margin-top:20px; height:150px;}
.cat-title { background-color:gray; margin-top:0px; }
scrollable-table changes the look of some of my other html while doing what I need it to do. Specifically from what I can tell the height in
.top-buffer is whats being changed. When I move it under those first two it works as expected without causing any issues. So this
.top-buffer { margin-top:20px; height:150px;}
.cat-title { background-color:gray; margin-top:0px; }
.scrollable-table {
height: 800px;
overflow: scroll;
Where I use
scrollable-table is here

scrollable-table is also only ever used there!
For good measure I'll also show where
top-buffer is used

I just don't understand how a completely unrelated class to the other two can change things so drastically. I understand that CSS cascades the styles, but in this case it makes no sense because they are not related. I should mention this is Twitter Bootstrap, and is at the very top over what CSS was already there. I'm hoping someone coud shed some light on why this.

Jose Lima, RIP: The Last Colorful Astro Checks Out
Jose Lima died of a heart attack at 37 yesterday. He was the rarest of Astro birds in the Drayton McLane era -- someone who actually had personality.
Lima pissed off a lot of fans and opponents with his antics, and he famously lost whatever mojo he had with the move to Enron Field.
Bu the twitterverse lit up with his death, and former teammates also chimed in with remembrances. A sampling:
-- I was 12, waiting outside for autographs. He looks at my ball, sees Bagwell already signed it. "You actually got Bagwell? Waht do you want me for?"

-- I've never really gotten upset when other athletes die but #limatime has me all bummed out. Feel like I knew him.
-- Lima carded me and my buddies at a Stros game in late 90's. We sat near the bullpen, didn't think we were old enough 2 drink.
-- Sad Jose Lima passed so young. Saw him at a stop light once he was had the windows down having a good time. He enjoyed life to the fullest.
--Brad Ausmus, former teammate in Detroit and Houston:
"I just found that out in the elevator, it was awful, just shocking. I didn't talk to him this time, usually when he is here I do talk to him and say Hello. ... First year I played with him was in '96. We got traded together to Houston in '98 we were there. He might've been in Houston again. High energy, always in a good mood, loved to sing. We had to listen to his demo tape all the time in the locker room. Now, it's a fond memory, back then it was annoying."
Alex Cora, who played with Lima in LA:
"He was a very happy person, very upbeat, really enjoyed the game, he brought a really great vibe to the clubhouse. Especially in '04, I had a blast playing with him. We play this game for a living, but you have to enjoy it, and he did, he actually did."
Be sure to check out John Granato and Lance Zierlein this morning on 1560 The Game -- they are the unofficial keepers of the Limas flame here on local sports-talk radio, and are sure to have some good stuff in memory of the man.
