BLUF: Crude pitcher with very nice raw tools and a huge risk profile.
The Player: Kohl Stewart (RHP, St. Pius X High School) – One of the elite quarterback recruits in the country, Stewart has committed to play baseball and football at Texas A&M. Through April 22, Stewart had not allowed a run in 22 innings, allowing just seven hits and striking out 28 batters. He is also hitting .380 with ten home runs and 30 RBI.
Basis of Report: Compilation – Industry Contacts
Scouting Report
Body (6-3, 195): Long and lean. Highly athletic. Good strength with room for more. Very projectable. Plus-plus body that is mature but still offers physical projection. Ideal pitcher's frame.
Delivery/Mechanics: Lacks consistency. Landing foot location varies with every pitch, often coming up a little short and varying from side to side. Lower half gets a little quick when descending from the balance point, forcing arm to catch up. Has electric arm speed and can catch up but would be well served to get things in sync. Needs repetition. Very raw mechanically but athletic enough to improve and gain consistency.
Fastball (FB) Velocity (Wind-up): High – 88, Low – 97, Average 92-93, Grade – 60/60
Fastball (FB) Velocity (Stretch): High – 88, Low 96, Average 92-93, Grade – 60/60
Fastball (FB) Movement: Doesn't blow you away with movement. Jumps out of his hand and appears to get on hitters quickly. Has some arm-side life at times. No visible sink/cut at this time. Doesn't get squared up against amateur competition. Average movement. Grade – 50/50
Overall Fastball: Good present velo and can reach plus-plus registers when he needs to or in short bursts. Despite remaining physical projection, not a ton of FB projection in the tank. May get more consistent at 92-93 mph and eliminate 88-89 readings from his arsenal. Not great movement but enough to keep him off the barrel. Some potential for velo spike with baseball focus but I'm not willing to project that at this time. Good quality pitch that should flash a half-tick better than plus at his peak. Grade – 60/60
Slider (SL): Best and most consistent pitch at present. Really snaps it off well, generating tight spin and good deception. Throws it from similar arm slot as FB, aiding disguise. Good bite and tilt to the pitch. Consistent plus grades with more projection than FB because the deception could increase as he gains consistency with his arm slot/release point. Grade – 60/70
Change-up (CH): Poor pitch. Has not needed it in high school and needs considerable work. Shows occasional feel but generally lacks trust and overthrows CH. Well below-average and in need of multiple grade jumps. Average projection is difficult given current crudeness. Grade – 30/40
Control: Much more of a thrower than a pitcher. Struggles to make in-game adjustments, largely due to lack of experience. Mechanics have inconsistencies, resulting in well below-average control. Misses high and to the glove side frequently because of a failure to follow through. Will overcorrect and pull the ball down and to the glove side. Can get back on track throwing strikes by throwing SL at times. Has control projection because of athleticism and general athletic aptitude. Should get there quickly with focus on baseball and while multiple grade jumps are aggressive, reason for optimism is strong. Grade – 30/60
Command: No ability to command FB or secondary pitches at present. Needs considerable work on delivery and overall control before command is even addressed. Has athleticism to project for command down the line. Could take 2-3 years of pro instruction before command begins to enter the picture. Average command is relatively safe projection but truly could go anywhere from here. Grade – 20/50
Summation: Really intriguing arm. Natural athletic gifts evident with multi-sport scholarship opportunities at Texas A&M. Needs baseball focus if he is to approach ceiling. Intense competitor with excellent makeup. Present plus velocity and occasionally shows projection for more velocity. Already has good strength so additional velocity would come from improved mechanical consistency and additional arm strength from a more focused professional throwing program. SL has outstanding potential; bat missing pitch. CH is very crude and needs considerable work as a pro. Has the arm speed to provide deception if he can trust CH and gain feel for the pitch. Thrower that needs to learn how to pitch and control his arsenal. Command projection is way out in the future but athleticism gives hope. Raw ingredients to become a number two or three starter if everything clicks. Huge risk associated with him because he is so raw and there are unknowns with the developmental path once he focuses on baseball. Boom or bust type.
Relative Risk: High. Very raw. Needs considerable innings and focus on baseball for raw tools to begin translating. Could be a slow developmental path.
Draft Projection: Arguably the top prep pitcher in this year's class. Has quality present stuff and projection both physically and within deficient parts of his game. The minor shoulder injury he suffered during football season may cause some teams to pause as the draft approaches, but he should still go off the board anywhere in the 5-15 range.

Is that too crazy to do for a 3 yo? I don't actually make it look curlier. The iron actually tames the wave that's in her hair naturally, but she thinks she looks more like Merida.
What do you think?

I am completely at a lose on how to fix this.
I have been using Featured Content Gallery fine with no problems. My website then had 4 boxes beneath the FCG to navigate to other areas on the site. I wanted these boxes to have a transition affect and so I have applied Codrops CSS3 Hover transitions to it.
<?php if (is_page('home') ) { ?>
<!--home page custom JS-->
<script type='text/javascript' src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/js/jquery.hoverdir.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#portfolio-areas > li').hoverdir( {
hoverDelay : 75
} );
<?php } ?>
in the header and footer and both causes FCG to stop working.
It seems to be the google's jquery that seems to be causing this but is there a way I can load a script specifically to one area and not just a page?

Salt Lake County's criminal justice initiative resolving nearly 40 percent of cases within 30 days, review says
SALT LAKE CITY — By conservative estimates, a Salt Lake County initiative intended to create a more effective and efficient criminal justice system is resolving 38 percent of certain felony and class A misdemeanor offenses within 30 days, a new evaluation shows.
A review of the county's Early Case Resolution initiative by University of Utah researchers suggests benefits to all partners in the process, including criminal defendants who experience consequences for their offenses sooner and can benefit from being placed in appropriate treatment programs sooner.
"Overall, the criminal justice community appears to agree that ECR has sped up the court and that expedited processing is, in general, a benefit to the entire system," researchers wrote.
Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said the evaluation, reported recently to the county's Criminal Justice Advisory Council, shows early successes and continued promise of the approach. Many cases that lingered 120-180 days are now being resolved in month, he said.
"What we know is, early case resolution works. It is a program that is beneficial to defendants and is beneficial to the criminal justice system. It is beneficial to the jail and it is beneficial to our taxpayers. This is a model, for the first time, that is giving us an opportunity to make significant and meaningful inroads into the criminal justice system," Gill said.
One goal of ECR is to efficiently handle certain types of felony and class A misdemeanor cases such as drug and property offenses. The thinking is, bringing those types of cases to a fast conclusion relieves prosecutors' and legal defenders' resources for cases that require more time and attention.
Patrick Anderson, director of the Salt Lake Legal Defenders Association, said early on, his office had concerns whether increasing the speed at which cases were resolved would have negative consequences for clients.
Eight experienced Legal Defender attorneys have been assigned to ECR cases, which helps the office quickly identify cases that require additional resources if a police search or stop raises constitutional concerns, as well as those that can be more readily resolved.
"We think we're getting good resolutions for our clients. They're getting them sooner, and generally it's the same resolution (than before), and they're appropriate resolutions for our clients and they're happier," Anderson said.
When appropriate cases — usually drug or property offenses — are handled in an expedited manner, clients need to come to court one or two times, compared with five or six hearings in the past.
Another benefit of early case resolution has been fewer warrants issued for their arrests or additional charges for failing to appear, Anderson said.
"We get more people engaged in the process. We get them to court sooner so we don't lose as many people through the back door," Anderson said.
Salt Lake County Sheriff Jim Winder said the county is still evaluating the impact to the jail, but "what we do know, there has been a drop in our overcrowding releases."
Jail officials are continuing to analyze the university report and its own data to determine connections.
"What the result will be, hopefully, is decreased length of stay," Winder said, noting a growing body of criminal justice research supports that long jail terms do not necessarily result in lower rates of recidivism.
Like other ERC partners, Winder said he wants available jail resources to be used as efficiently and effectively as possible.
"Say I have a restaurant and I have 50 seats. If can roll those tables three times a night, I can serve 150 people. But maybe someone sits a while and has beverages, the less I can use that table. Maybe I only get 100 people through. The exact same phenomena occurs in the jail," he said.

George Michael, Ricky Martin and Rod Stewart lead Feb. 1 new album releases
If we thought this week, in which the "Grammy Nominations CD" is likely to be the top seller on the Billboard 200 with less than 40,000 copies sold, looked bleak, just wait until next week. The Feb. 1 release slate has some tasty elements, but the only mainstream titles are George Michael's reissue of "Faith," Rod Stewart's "The Best of...The Great American Songbook," and Ricky Martin's English/Spanish hybrid, "Musica + Almo + Sexo." They should handily conquer the top 3 spots next week, but we predict that none of the other new releases for this week debut anywhere near the Top 10.
[More after the jump...]
The Civil Wars, "Barton Hollow" (Sensibility Music): Co-ed folk country duo of Joy Williams and John Paul White releases its first full-length album, chock full of lovely harmonies, acoustic instrumentation and love songs with a gentle twist of two.
Bobby Long, "A Winter's Tale" (ATO): British singer/songwriter and friend of Robert Pattinson has already had a song on the "Twilight" soundtrack. This set, on Dave Matthews' label, was produced by Liam Watson, best known for his work with the White Stripes. Read our review of Long's show at the ASCAP Cafe at Sundance here.
David Lowery, "The Palace Guards" (429): Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven frontman releases, incredibly, his first solo album. Spin gave it a rousing 8 out of 10 stars and says he strikes the perfect balance between CVB's "loose eclectic twang" and Cracker's "tight psych-country."
Bob Marley and the Wailers, "Live Forever: September 23, 1980. The Stanley Theater, Pittsburgh, Pa." (Tuff Gong): Not only is this the last recorded concert by the reggae master, it was his last concert ever. He died the following May. The set captures such now classics as "Redemption Song," "Could You Be Loved," "No Woman, No Cry," and, of course, "Get Up, Stand Up."
Ricky Martin, "Musica + Alma + Sexo" (Sony Music Latin): Martin's first set since becoming a dad and coming out, covers terrain in both English and Spanish, including first single, "The Best Thing About Me Is You," featuring Joss Stone. Other guests include reggaeton duo, Wisin & Yandel, whose new set will likely come in at No. 3 this week.
George Michael, "Faith: Legacy Edition" (Columbia): The 2-CD reissue of Michael's mega-platinum 1987 bestseller includes some bonus material. A Special Edition, also includes a DVD.
Rod Stewart, "The Best of... The Great American Songbook" (J): Just in time for Valentine's Day, a greatest hit collection culled from Stewart's five previous Great American Songbook editions comes your way. The best -of includes one new recording, "You'll Never Know."

Pardee: $18.9M in community benefits
Published: Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 8:59 p.m.
Pardee Hospital provided $18.9 million in community benefits during fiscal year 2008, from charity care and unreimbursed costs to community health improvement services.
The American Hospital Association and the N.C. Hospital Association outline how to put a dollar amount on community benefits for each fiscal year. The latest data are for Oct. 1, 2007, through Sept. 30, 2008.
The largest amount of community benefit provided was $14.8 million for unreimbursed costs of treating Medicare and Medicaid patients, other non-negotiated government programs and bad debt.
Pardee tries to collect any money due for services, but some people cannot pay their bills and Medicare and Medicaid do not cover all the costs for some patients, said Myra Grant, vice president of community accountability and philanthropy. The money is absorbed by the hospital, allowing all patients to receive care.
Uncompensated care for those who don't qualify for Medicaid or Medicare and don't have insurance is up about $2 million, Grant said.
Pardee also benefited the community through educational classes at the Pardee Health Education Center and volunteer efforts with Relay For Life, United Way and other local causes.
"As a community hospital, we believe we have a responsibility to give back to the community we serve," Pardee CEO Kris Hoce said. "We give back to the community on a daily basis through a variety of ways, such as offering health educational programs and screenings at the Pardee Health Education Center, participating in cancer research programs, providing critical medical care to low-income families, contributing to local organizations, along with providing many other benefits to our community."
Charity care for low-income residents who meet certain guidelines totaled $1.3 million. An average of 120 women receive financial assistance through the Pardee Hospital Foundation to pay for breast cancer treatment, for example.
One of the more noticeable community benefits is Pardee Health Education Center in Blue Ridge Mall, Grant said. The center recorded about 50,500 visits for the year ending last Sept. 30 as people attended health and wellness programs, fitness classes, support groups and health screenings.
When the center opened in October 1989, it was one of the first mall-based hospital education centers in the country, and it remains the only center of its kind in the region, Grant said.
A community hospital's role is not to just provide care in emergency situations, she added, but also in preventive health care and giving back to the community. You can't expect to see improvement without going beyond your duties, she said.
"I think you as an individual can't make your community better if you're not involved in some way and giving back," she said. "That's why we encourage employees to do the same thing."
Other highlights:
● As the county's second-largest employer, Pardee has 1,200 personnel. Salaries and benefits represented $67 million put into the community. The hospital has about 240 doctors representing 40 specialties and 86 allied health areas.
● On May 29, more than 200 Pardee associates and physicians participated in Hendersonville's Relay for Life to benefit the American Cancer Society. Pardee teams raised more than $28,000.
● In 2008 Pardee associates contributed more than $4,500 to local organizations through its "jean day" program. On the Fridays following payday, Pardee associates may pay $2 to wear jeans to work. The money is donated to local charities such as March of Dimes, Four Seasons Hospice, Mainstay and the Free Clinics.
● In 2008 Pardee associates volunteered more than 4,000 hours to support local organizations such as the Free Clinics, Partnership for Health, United Way and local civic clubs.
● An estimated 39 Pardee associates participated in United Way's 2008 Day of Caring.
● Over the holiday season, hospital associates, volunteers and physicians donated 619 pounds of nonperishable food to the IAM Annual Food Drive. During the month of February 2009, Pardee associates, volunteers and physicians collected more than 2,150 pounds of non-perishable food items for the MANNAfest Food Drive.
● Together with the American Red Cross, Pardee held a total of 12 blood drives last year, bringing in a total of 546 units of blood for the community and region.
● An estimated 603 Pardee associates participated in giving $124,000 to United Way and Pardee Foundation during the 2008 annual Pardee Choice employee giving campaign. The organization received the "Overall Employee Giving Award" from United Way of Henderson County.
● More than 8,200 people received inpatient care at the hospital for fiscal year 2008; there were 30,682 visits to the emergency room; 428 babies were born at the hospital.

"WELCOME" Doniphan by Rich62
Doniphan Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 14 photos
DONIPHAN IS LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF HIGHWAY 281, ABOUT 5 MILES SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 at the Grand Island/Hastings Exit. When you get to the stoplight on highway 281, turn east and you are there.
Doniphan is, in part, a bedroom community for Grand Island and, to a lesser extent, Hastings. Hastings is south of Doniphan on 281.
But it is also a community in its own right.
THIS IS A WINDOW IN THE ST. PAUL LUTHERAN CHURCH IN DONIPHAN. IT IS LOCATED ON 4TH AVE. (OR 4TH STREET). THERE IS ALSO A METHODIST CHURCH IN TOWN, and probably several others. Doniphan has about 800 residents.
THIS IS a nice home in the Doniphan area. Actually it is two miles west of town.
- Pros:QUICK ACCESS TO GRAND ISLAND AND INTERSTATE 80
- Cons:THIS TOWN HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH TEENAGERS RUNNING THE STREETS.
- In a nutshell:SEEMS PRETTY NICE TO ME

OM Group yesterday attacked the London Stock Exchange for having "no strategy, no management and no vision" and urged it to reconsider the £808m takeover bid.
|Fingers crossed: Don Cruickshank displays the Stock Exchange's defence document
The criticism came in response to the Exchange's first defence document against the hostile bid which again dismissed the offer as "derisory" and "wholly inadequate". Chairman Don Cruickshank told shareholders the deal would give them only 18.5pc of the combined group, leading to a "terminal loss of influence". He attempted to paint OM as opportunistic chancers with a bid based largely on an over-inflated share price.
The largely low-key response offered no clues as to future strategy and Mr Cruickshank seems focused on seeing off this bid before attempting to agree another one. "We are not in a position that we have to do deals. There is no great urgency," he said, adding that rival European exchange Euronext has not made its much mooted takeover offer.
"There have been no approaches. Even if there had, we should not be negotiating the future of the LSE in public," he added. He said one lesson learned from the collapsed merger with the Deutsche Börse was that deals need to be sewn up before they are announced.
OM chief executive Per Larsson said: "After the shambles of iX, the LSE is now trying to stake a claim to maximising shareholder value, and yet it is obvious that the LSE has no strategy, no management and no vision. LSE's board seem to be unmoved by its experience over the last few months."
Rolf Breuer, chairman of the Deutsche Börse supervisory board, speaking at the IMF conference in Prague, said London would soon have to accept that it does not have an independent future. Exchange shares lost 165p to £29, valuing the business at £864m. OM's offer was worth £27.10 a share last night.
Mr Cruickshank ruled himself out of taking on the chief executive's job permanently after the resignation of Gavin Casey. Cantor Index yesterday slashed the odds on Liffe chairman Brian Williamson taking on the job from 33-1 to 12-1, making him a clear favourite.

A Coshocton County man is causing quite the commotion in North Carolina. Joseph "Sean" McVey was found armed in a North Carolina parking lot yesterday afternoon as Air Force One, that was carrying President Obama, was departing.
McVey was arrested and has since been charged, but some fellow co-workers say they're shocked about the whole incident.
"He's kind of a young kid. He's just kind of a go-getter. His adrenaline gets rolling, and he just kind of wants to go, go, " says Coshocton County REACT President, Tim Wise.
McVey joined the Coshocton County REACT Team back in June of 2008 with dreams of eventually becoming an Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper, but McVey's eagerness and zeal seems to have gotten him in trouble with the law.
"To be honest with you, I really think Sean was probably there to be nosey, thinking if they needed a traffic detail or something, he would be there to help somebody, " says Wise.
It isn't the first time McVey has been reprimanded. When he was working with react, he was caught speeding several times trying to get to a scene to help local law enforcement and fire departments. It almost caused some accidents. So, McVey was suspended, but Wise says the incidents didn't make him think differently of McVey.
"I would never consider Sean as a threat. I think he would go across the street to help somebody before he would do this, "says Wise.
Wise says McVey just wants to help, but he can't explain why McVey was carrying a weapon. In fact, he didn't even know McVey owned a gun.
"As far as everything that was on his vehicle, all the antennas, all the radios, the lights, and everything, he has that when he was in Coshocton, " says Wise.
Wise says he feels sorry for McVey but he doesn't want react to get mixed up in this mess.
"I just don't want people to take this the wrong way and think that this kid did something wrong. (I don't want him) to give us a black eye for it because I don't think he was out there acting as REACT. I don't think he was out there acting as a HAM operator. I think he was out there acting as Sean, " says Wise.
Wise hadn't been in contact with McVey for a few months. He says McVey recently moved to Athens County to work for his aunt.

Malefor by FyreDragon5Watch
Just looking at this guy gives me the creeps!
I'll admit that the fire was the funnest thing to draw, it was that darned mountain in the background that was giving me grief! The lava on that thing was not easy, let alone the light coming from the volcano. I thought that this scene was perfect for the fallen purple dragon, I mean he did cause it to happen in the first place.
I personally thought he was a pretty okay villain, however--I COULD HARDLY UNDERSTAND A WORD HE WAS SAYING!!!! Seriously, I could understand Christopher Nolan's Bane and Batman better than this guy! I mean why did the game makers have to mess with Mark Hamill's voice so much? It sounded NOTHING like him! He's creepy enough without the voice synthesizer since he voiced The Joker in Batman the Animated Series! The only way I was able to understand him was by reading the subtitles at the bottom of the screen!
I was seriously expecting Spyro and Cynder to be all:
-"What did you say?"
-One more time, didn't catch that."
-"We can't understand you! PRONOUNCIATE!!!"
Epic fail...

You kinda left me speechless with this one, but I'll do my best.
First impressions...Wow! Just...holy snickerdoodles wow! I love the background! I know I've said that about all of them but this one...AWESOME!!! The sparks/fire/lava coming out of and flowing down the volcano are so amazing! That is one of the BEST volcanoes I've seen. The sky nicely done, all creepy just like Malefor. I love how the whole thing looks with the fire all around him. I gives it a more menacing feel.
Malefor himself looks fantastic! I love how you did his eyes there and how they glow and it looks like little bolts of energy coming out of them. And of course the expression you put on his face just ties it all together. If I'm being perfectly honest(and I am XD ) I prefer this artwork that you did of him more than in the game! I think they need to consult you for character designs.
And I'm SO glad it isn't just me thinking that about his voice. I seriously could not understand a thing he said. It kind of made him a little less threatening...IMO.
Fyre, you should and have every right to be proud of this piece, including the fire bits. The color and texture is simply, no not simply, spectacularly amazing! I love the angle of the wings - I'm pardoning some strange anatomy features (as I've done in the past) due to this being fan art - particularly the far one showing the underside. Also I love the red sky and lighting on the clouds reflecting the burning ground.
Here's my criticisms: The fire surrounding the dragon, is that intended to be in two straight lines? I think it would be more effective were it a ring of fire or showing some fire closer and some further to add to the burning world effect. Right now it seems as if the dragon stood in the way of a speeding Delorean.
Also, the volcano, though I love the fire about it, seems a little flat. There are great effects and I love what's going on, but showing some roundness would help.
Oh wow, your fire distracted me and I thought that there were some markings of flame on your dragon. I'm loving the effect it has right there against his hide.
You are an incredible artist and story teller (loved your fan fic, EVERYONE READ!) Keep it up, you have vision and potential - the world will never know what hit it.
Rock on, Fyre.
I love his physique, and you give him a much less overbearing look than in the game.
Fire looks great and the background is blended perfectly to fit the mood and all the colors really come together, EXCELLENT
Really? I was the only one who could understand him perfectly fine? XD
Nah, you're not the only one. XD
Pad. Caution
I think Malefor is a character who deserves to be put in before we know it is wrong in DOTD, but it was not always like her I always say that this guy deserved to have its own history in a prequel trilogy of the Legend of Spyro, but called The Myth of Malefor avoided to copy and paste the name of the other series, after all Malefor has a heroic past that seems to be it was even dubbed the Hero of Avalar in his time, "rumors," and I think that finally the Chronicler did not tell us everything about Malefor far away we do not know how he felt once he seemed to be normally quite close to the village chief Prowlus cheetahs that describes as being much like Spyro mentally and emotionally at the time where everyone had hope in him, someone noble, courageous, caring, with compassion, and someone who was afraid to others than for himself, a sort of guardian angel, and he was also very shy, but eager to learn shy, afraid of becoming someone he probably hate to be, but the Guardians of the time the is encouraged to test the limits and that is the mistake they probably realized that Malefor have no limit and power was being surpassed those emotions in the process of submerged, becoming someone who did not want become, they told him to stop, but it probably is Malefor said he could control it, but when you do not control your powers, that you have had control then they exiled second error may Malefor to accept exile, but during that time no one was there to prevent his power to take over on him and he gradually transform into Dark Master, Having no control over it is doomed hatred against his own race the hating everyone, and forge an alliance with the King Gaul and his army of monkeys in their back promising to transfer power to Gaul and his army he has broken promise and malheuresment the noblest destiny of the race of Avalar was Monkeys in great danger with the same powers as désormé dragons, dragons was somehow a race that other creatures could learn their nature have to give a gift that control its elements for good protecting other races as cheetahs and manweresmalls and another against evil creatures stronger than the latter, manweresmalls and cheetahs were not magical so they were vulnerable to any creature who could master such black magic, in d other words the dragons pose to other creatures the only resistance was to, dragons are a noble race, wise, compassionate, generous and protective. But the monkeys had hate this logic to other creatures had their been lower due to the fact they need dragons, so they Voyes dragons as weak minds, because despite their power instead of shown their superiority, and they used their powers with compassion, this was not logical for monkeys. The monkeys were more numerous and were feared warriors so they wanted shown the power of their races in enslaving those who were their inferiors. The only resistance was the dragons when the monkeys had tried to take the town cheetahs dragons probably have saved a painting representing Malefor, is seen surrounded by races who respect and love the most dragons and the Malefor therefore hope cheetahs, and manweresmalls. Outnumbered dragons monkeys. I also think that Gaul has played an important role in the corruption of Malefor, and perhaps even in its heroic past Malefor had been confronted with Gaul's eye and it popped in a battle against Malefor can be also the physics of Malefor it is not at all similar to the representation of him in paintings and statues we saw majestic, elegant, graceful, almost beautiful royal I would say, with a wise and watchful eye but it looks like DOTD a zombie, its purple and far from being similar to Spyro or even paint the former Warfang (the Ruins Warfang level), and it seems to be completely distorted and deformed her face, and was the impression he bloodstains, his voice is also distorted and does not resemble the voice of someone who is in control of his emotions. I think Malefor also deserved a second chance (everyone especially those on a heroic past) redemption if only the reincarnation of Moneybags (Bobby Kottic, Actimoney boss) would not have bought the license for Skylanders, I think it would have been better to make a second trilogy with the Legend of Spyro why not return Malefor hero / ally or a prequel the Myth of Malefor, then Malefor is a purple dragon so he can explain his be operated at much gameplay as Spyro. I also read a lot of FanFiction and FanComics that some well told her about the past of Malefor, or the light go hero or ally.
Malefor is actually a really sadistic and evil villain when you think about it. He kidnaps Cynder, and others (If Oc's are to be considered here), He almost succeeded in destroying the world the last time he was alive, technically did when he returned, corrupted Spyro, corrupted Cynder, ransacked the temple, almost obliterated the dragons, is so evil that his voice has been warped by his malevalence, and he kills because he could care less. He also inadvertably causes the death of Ignitus, effectively destroying Spyro's mentor, friend, and father figure and causing him to go ape on Cynder. What a perfect A-hole. I actually find it difficult to think of worse villains.
If some Fanfic's are to be considered, (like the one I'm working on) he was actually even worse than he was depicted in the game. Seriously, he is crazy evil. No matter how you look at it.
I do not know but at Malefor there as something that draws me to think it is not really a monster.
Corrupting a hero IS something that makes a true villain.
So I feel you have done a good job with this. Malefor looks evil, the volcano has some lovely lava effect and the fire around Malefor just makes the picture look right. So good job.
Good work! And now you deserve a
i think the makers were trying to give him a voice like apocalymon from digimon adventure ( since they both had the same goals and ideas ) but with 10 times the distortion!!!!!!!

I'm not sure when this problem started, but I have a problem moderating my comments. Any action link I click (approve/unapprove, delete) does the little Javascript animation (goes red breifly, then fades out).
However, when I try to navigate away from the page, I get a popup saying: "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?"
If I click "OK" and leave, and then go back to the Comments area, I find that any administrative action I took has not been saved. Approving comments doesn't work, etc.
If I go to "Mass Edit Mode" I can delete comments. If I go to the "edit" page of each comment, I can change them individually.
I'm assuming something is wrong with the Ajax functions.
Really need help on this, thanks.

MUSIC; It's All a Game, and Only He Knows the Rules
By MICHAEL WHITE
Published: March 16, 2003
LONDON— IN the 21st-century culture of oversupply and underdemand, it's small wonder that every second musician in the marketplace is sold by agents, impresarios and record companies as unique. It doesn't mean much.
But just occasionally it does. And Mikhail Pletnev -- arguably the most distinctive and idiosyncratically remarkable of living pianists -- is a case in point.
Only in the last 10 years have Western audiences had the chance to come to terms with him, although he made his mark a quarter century ago, when -- at 21 -- he took first prize at the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow and immediately stacked up invitations for impressive world tours.
Then the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and, as he says, ''the doors closed.''
''Cultural relations stopped,'' he adds, when we meet here in a discreetly empty restaurant of his choice. ''I couldn't do 'the career.' Concerts outside the Soviet territories, all canceled. So for years I played Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, East Germany. No further.''
And how did he feel about that?
''Philosophical,'' he says. ''I stayed at home and taught. And this was not bad for me. Many young artists make success, become stars, play everywhere. Then disappear. They don't have time to take in. They just give. Then they run out of ideas, of energy, of repertory. You could say I was spared.''
Mr. Pletnev, who plays at the Metropolitan Museum on Thursday, tells me this in a confiding tone, heavily Russian but half whispered, with long pauses during which he thinks, draws deeply on a cigarette (he chain-smokes) and insists on pouring me another vodka, which I make an ineffectual effort to decline. I've never liked the taste.
''In Russia,'' he says, filling the glass, ''we do not drink vodka for taste. We drink for effect. For consequence.''
And, no doubt, to assist the philosophical approach to life that Mr. Pletnev holds to on and off the stage. Like a Russian Buddha smiling quietly to himself, he comes across as self-contained, inscrutable: the guardian of some vouchsafed secret that he may or may not reveal.
It's all a game, played to a book of rules that only Mr. Pletnev knows. And though he's serious about his art -- about the piano, about conducting (roughly one-sixth of his dates these days are with a baton rather than a keyboard) and about composing (a lifelong sideline) -- a latent mischief infects the presentation. Usually encased in a veneer of gloom.
You see it when he walks onto the stage, slowly, like a pallbearer at a funeral. ''I have a bad knee,'' he says laconically.
But even more, you hear it in the playing: in the teasing virtuosity of his Beethoven bagatelles disc for Deutsche Grammophon, in the outrageous license of his award-winning Scarlatti sonatas for Virgin Classics and in the way he milks the encores in his live Deutsche Grammophon recording from Carnegie Hall.
You also get it on a plate when he conducts. Last year he was in London with the Philharmonia Orchestra and what, in other hands, would have been a standard program of Tchaikovsky bonbons. But in Mr. Pletnev's hands, it raised the currency of easy-listening to exalted heights of style and substance.
And its special pleasure was its wit: immaculately wry and sharp but somehow lovingly extracted from the orchestra with an absurdly modest repertory of gestures. Just a shrug here or a lifting of the finger there. He hardly bothered to beat time: a curiously inverted kind of showmanship, and very Russian. (Yuri Temirkanov, the artistic director of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, plays the same game.)
But playing games in concerts is dangerous. Especially when you're playing them with an orchestra.
''Let me tell you a story.'' says Mr. Pletnev, and it's an old one. ''A conductor gives a concert, charges a million dollars and five cents, and barely moves a finger. One single gesture, no more. People say after, 'How do you justify your fee?' He says, 'Five cents is for the single gesture. The million dollars is for knowing when to make it. This'' -- a deep drag on the cigarette -- ''is conducting.''
Mr. Pletnev's story comes with a mock-geriatric gravitas appropriate to the heavy, hooded, slightly swollen details of a face no longer that of the alluring young Slav in the 1978 Tchaikovsky competition. It takes some effort of will to remember that he's actually just 45: born in Archangel, the only child of parents who were both musicians. His mother, with whom he still lives on the outskirts of Moscow, is a pianist -- ''a good one, a real example,'' he says -- and his father, now dead, played the bayan, the Russian accordion.
In the circumstances, his musical education started late: at 13, when he went to the Central School in Moscow, a famous forcing-ground for prodigies.
''But I wasn't forced,'' he says. ''I had a happy childhood.''
''I'm still happy,'' he adds, staring at me with the solemn features of a bloodhound. ''Ecstatic. I praise God I'm not ill, not crippled, except for my knee and my finger'' -- an injury that caused him to cancel concerts earlier this year -- ''and still alive. What should I complain about?''

Replacement bulb and valve combo from Prestige Medical. Choose from the standard replacement bulb or bulb and valve combo for your aneroid sphygmomanometer blood pressure device.
Really happy with this purchase. The bulb is soft and flexible and fit easily on the hose, with a little twisting. It stays on with pressure very high - does not pop off. Items arrived on time and packaged appropriately.
The bulb is functional but it is stiff, like it is very old material. I expected a more pliable feel. It is hard to pump. I hope it lasts.
Quick and easy replacement at a resonable price
Excellent Product - hope it outlasts my old bulb which dried up in this Arizona (should be Aridzona) climate after only eight years

Open Level Contemporary African Dance w/ Mekbul J. Tahir// Fridays @ 6:30-7:30pm // $13 per class; $60 for 6-class package
The technique Acogny is the only recognized contemporary dance technique created in Africa. It was created by Germaine Acogny, the mother of African contemporary dance. Based on traditional African dance (especially Senegal and Benin) and Western dance techniques (classical ballet, release, and Graham technique), the philosophy of this technique is about identity: placing yourself inside the community and nature, and being aware of your own body. The technique respects every different body, and addresses life and the connection between human being and nature. Joy, play, love and music are the fundaments of the spirit of the technique.
Mekbul Jemal Tahir is an international choreographer, dancer, and teacher. He is one of the founding members of Adugna Community Dance Theatre Company, which is based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Since completing a five-year training program accredited by Middlesex University (UK) in 2001, he has been performing and teaching African contemporary dance, contact improvisation, and community dance and theatre in Ethiopia and abroad. Among others, his projects have included the 2005 Kin-Addis Project in the DRC, Ethiopia, and France, and the 2006 Can Do Can Dance Project in Hamburg, Germany. In 2007, he performed a lead role in As the Mother of a Brown Boy, which opened at Chickenshed Theatre Company in London and later traveled to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it was nominated for two awards. He is also one of the dancers who were selected to study Germaine Acogny's dance and certified to teach her technique. Now a resident of Massachusetts, he divides his time between work with Adugna in Ethiopia and projects in Africa, Europe, and the United States.

Naughty Dog: "We would like" to work on Jak and Daxter PS3
Naughty Dog's Arne Meyer has revealed to EGTV that the studio would like to work on a PlayStation 3 version of Jak and Daxter. Massive fan demand for the game comes as the developer ramps up on work for Uncharted 2.
"Well we would like to be able to work on it", said Meyer.
Although he does insist that – for now at least – Uncharted is the main priority at Naughty Dog.
"We definitely hear a lot from our Jak and even Crash fans from a long time ago, um, and we really hear those things and you know we'd love to be able to be working on a new Jak for them at some point so, that might be in the cards but right now we're really sort of focused on working through [Uncharted]."
The duo have a new PSP game coming this year in The Lost Frontier, although that is being handled by High Impact Games.

Back in November 2011, Black Lips singer/guitarist Cole Alexander and former Cee Lo Green collaborator Curtis Harding unveiled their spooky, low-fi soul project Night Sun with a show at 529 on an unseasonably balmy Tuesday night. Those who squeezed into the packed club experienced a spectral collision of Southern soul and garage rock. For months, both Cole and Curtis had been talking about the "other project" they'd been kicking around. And when they took the stage that night, Cole's grinding swamp melodies and Harding's soulful wail cut through the stifling clouds of smoke and sweat that hung heavy in the air. With a slow and bluesy punch they created a mystique that, to this day, comes up in conversations at the bar. It was a helluva first impression.

Whether your interest is mountaineering, trekking, adventure travel or business, find the travel information that you need at Travel Tajikistan! Travel Tajikistan is a comprehensive guide to travel and tourism in Tajikistan, including flight schedules, visa and entry requirements, and other essential travel information . http://www.traveltajikistan.com/index.html
One of the main highlight for travellers along the silk road in Tajikistan (Tadzjikistan) is its stunning natural scenery set against the Pamir and Fan mountains and incorporating lush valleys and turquoise lakes.
Tourists are attracted in Tajikistan by opportunities for alpine mountaineering, rock climbing, walking, fishing, or simply relaxing among dramatic mountains and lakes.
Tajikistan International Airlines"
has weekly flights from Munich, Tehran, Moscow, Karachi and Delhi to Dushanbe. TajikAir flies between Moscow-Khujand a few times a week. There are also irregular charter connections from Dushanbe to Aleppo (Syria) and Abu Dhabi (U.A.E.).
Unique Suggestions: Tajikistan has much to offer to the mountaineer, the hiker and the independent traveller in search of remote locations and unusual cultural experiences. There are opportunities for alpine mountaineering, rock climbing, hiking, horse or camel riding, historical exploration, cultural experiences or simply relaxing among dramatic mountains and lakes.
Fun Alternatives: While staying in Tajikistan you'll find out!It's very easy and simple
- Arts and Culture
- Adventure Travel
- Work Abroad
If you have enough money to waste…..
For me, the biggest tourist trap without doubt was Great Game Company. They charge for almost everything and are even that impudent to charge 25 USD for the short distance of 3 km from their …. Spot to the airport – just for the pleasure to ride in the car of Mr. butt-cavity Rick.
A normal taxi charges 15 Somoni = 4 USD (mid 2006), and according to Anna, these 4 USD were even too high.
If you want to read the whole story – please see my travellogue
I'll also place this under warnings, so make sure you remember that you have read this here already if you end up in the warning section.
- Road Trip
The bigger hotels
The bigger hotels in Dushanbe are vastly overpriced compared to the services they provide.
Unique Suggestions: Bite your teeth together and go with it, or look for ways of getting a dicount. It helps to have local discounts and getting local price, and this is an option during slack seasons. If on a paid business trip, find a hotel in your price category that is not under refurbishment and move there if the first choice is unbearable.
Fun Alternatives: There are cheaper categories, but real guest houses are few and far between. Use guide books and locals to find alternatives.
- Backpacking
- Budget Travel
- Business Travel
A really dangerous tourist trap
Uncovered manholes! How can they not put the manhole cover back on the sewage system? An indication to me about systemic fauilure and lack of private and public responsibility.
So my basic warning is about awareness that Dushanbe's manhole covers may just not be in place.
Unique Suggestions: Bring a flotation device and a good snorkel.
Fun Alternatives: For eveings a light torch light might be handy to check for traps like these in Dushanbe.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
The Austin Chronicle cartoonist Jen Sorensen on Monday became the first woman to win the Herblock Prize for editorial cartooning.
Established in 2004 by the Herb Block Foundation, the award is design "to encourage editorial cartooning as an essential tool for preserving the rights of the American people through freedom of speech and the right of expression." Block, aka Herblock, was a three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist.
"Winning the Herblock is one of the finest moments in a political cartoonist's life," Sorensen, who was a 2012 finalist, told The Washington Post. "Being the first woman to win the prize makes it an extra-special thrill. I'm so grateful that this generous award exists for our profession."
As the newspaper notes, Sorensen is also the third consecutive alt-cartoonist to win the Herblock Prize, following Matt Bors and Dan Perkins (aka Tom Tomorrow). The award comes with a tax-free $15,000 cash prize and a sterling silver Tiffany trophy.
"Jen Sorensen's strong portfolio addresses issues that were important to Herblock, such as gun control, racism, income inequality, healthcare, and sexism," the judges stated. "Her style allows her to incorporate information which backs up the arguments she presents. Her art is engaging and her humor is sharp and on target."
You can see a few of Sorensen's winning cartoons below.
Publishing | Heidi MacDonald catches word that Top Cow Publisher Filip Sablik is moving on to a new job, which will be announced next month at Comic-Con International (Rich Johnston contends that gig is at BOOM! Studios). Friday will be Sablik's last day at Top Cow; Social Marketing Coordinator Jessi Reid will assume his marketing duties. [The Beat, Bleeding Cool]
Creators | Through its partnership with the Small Press Expo, the Library of Congress has acquired works by cartoonists Matt Bors, Keith Knight, Jim Rugg, Jen Sorensen, Raina Telgemeier, Matthew Thurber and Jim Woodring. Dean Haspiel's minicomics collection was added to the holdings just last week. [Comic Riffs]
Awards | Matt Bors is the 2012 winner of the Herblock Award, and the first alternative political cartoonist to do so, according to the Herb Block Foundation. The award includes a $15,000 prize — and that's $15,000 after taxes, which is mighty thoughtful of them. "The prize money is extremely generous and important, as it is more than I've ever made in a year from my editorial cartoons," said Bors, who plans to use it to upgrade his website. The finalist for the prize is Jen Sorensen, creator of Slowpoke and also an alternative cartoonist; she gets a $5,000 prize. [Comic Riffs]
Awards | The Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo, or SPACE, has announced the winners of its annual awards, which will be presented April 21 at the convention in Columbus, Ohio. Winners include Diabetes Funnies by Colin Upton, Sing, Sing by Paul Zdepski, and Spoilers by Kevin Czapiewski. [SPACE]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Gov. Rick Scott remains pretty much under water with Florida voters.
A new poll released Tuesday by Quinnipiac University showed 38 percent of the 1,412 registered voters responding on a random telephone survey taken between Jan. 4-8 gave the first-term Republican a positive job approval compared to 50 percent who rated Scott's job performance negatively. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.
The 38 percent approval rating though was the best Scott has received since taking office a year ago and better than the Legislature, which was seen positively by a third of respondents compared to 49 percent negative.
Scott delivered his second State of the State address Tuesday as Florida lawmakers kicked off the 2012 legislative session.

It's going to be a long week for you, you incorrigible clubgoer you.
Start tonight. Yellow Dubmarine is taking over Nietzsche's (248 Allen St.). This is the band's third performance in Western New York, and it's not difficult to understand why people who have seen the band love it.
The Dubmarine plays reggae-fied interpretations of Beatles tunes, bringing a freshness and vitality to the table, and mixing it with some first-rate musicianship.
Last time around, the band played "Abbey Dub," a full-album take on the Beatles' timeless "Abbey Road" album. This time, the horn section will be turning its attention to the Beatles' "1," the multiplatinum collection of all the Fabs' No. 1 charting singles. (Plus some ?additional surprises, I'm told.)
The show starts at 10 ?tonight. Tickets are $15 at ?the door or through ECEPresents.com.
The Irving Klaws present its annual Halloween rockabilly dance party and general ghoulish good time beginning at 9 tonight in Mohawk Place (47 E. Mohawk St.).
The Tins, a Buffalo band making a substantial buzz on the indie-rock circuit, plays Mohawk Place at 9 p.m. Saturday. Tickets for both shows will be available at the door.
Legendary Third Wave Ska band the Toasters will inhabit the Mohawk at 6 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $13, through Ticketsweb.com or at Mohawk Place.
Boston's Bad Rabbits � formerly known as the Eclectic Collective � rings its edgy indie rock/pop to Soundlab (110 Pearl St.) at 8 p.m. Saturday. The same venue hosts a killer double bill featuring Toronto's groundbreaking and aptly named electronic music outfit Holy F---, with specials guests, Buffalo's own electronic-jam ensemble Lazlo Hollyfeld, at 8 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $15 (through Jambase.com).
On Saturday, the Tralf Music Hall (622 Main St.), takes a journey back in time to the golden age of Genesis, which we all understand to be that period of time during which Peter Gabriel fronted the band.
The Waiting Room will perform beginning at 8 p.m. Saturday. The band is known to cover solo Gabriel as well, which is a nice touch. Expect the costumes, the appropriate stage sets and the whole deal. Tickets are $12 in advance, $14 day of show (box office, Ticketmaster).
Get in touch with your inner hair metal dude (or dudette) as former Ratt frontman and lead vocalist Stephen Pearcy brings his new band to Braun's Concert Cove (11891 Main St., Akron) at 8 p.m. Saturday. Buffalo's own Hair Nation will open.
Following Pearcy's performance, Cinderella bassist Eric Brittingham presides over the club's Halloween party with an acoustic set. Check www.braunsbar.com for ticket information.
If you're in the mood for greasepaint and Faygo cola, head to the Town Ballroom (681 Main St.) at 8 p.m. Sunday for Insane Clown Posse's gig. Zug Island and Kamp Krystal Lake will open.
Tickets are $30 advance, $34 day of show (box office, Tickets.com).
The same venue hosts Yelawolf, with Rittzr, Trouble Andrew and DJ Vara at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
Tickets are $21 advance, $25 day of show.
Have fun. But save some for next week. It's gonna be just as busy!

NEWARK, Del. --- Could this really be?
Kimmie Meissner, the reigning national and world champion, is the underdog for the upcoming World Figure Skating Championships?
If you listen to Meissner and her coach, Pam Gregory, you might get that feeling.
Rewind to the 2006 World Championships. This was supposed to be Sasha Cohen's chance to shine, her opportunity to redeem herself from a disappointing free skate in Torino. Meissner was deemed a long shot. Yet it was Meissner who prevailed. Traditionally, in figure skating, you're supposed to wait your turn, but Meissner didn't care to wait.
Now here we are, a year later, and Meissner is not only the reigning world champion but also the U.S. champ.
But wait. She's not the favorite.
She'll be competing this week at the worlds in Tokyo, and these days, skating's popularity in Japan is so strong, you might think Tonya and Nancy are controlling the remote. In the wake of Shizuka Arakawa's stunning victory in Torino, which marked Japan's first figure skating Olympic gold medal, the country has been following Mao Asada, whom the country believes is Arakawa's successor to the crown.
Meissner vividly recalls skating in Japan. Every time she skated at one end of the ice, she couldn't help but notice a sea of photographers with their cameras whirling.
Click. Click. Click.
She'd glide by again and the cameras would sound again.
Click. Click. Click.
It was unlike anything she had ever seen.
Just last month, a TV crew from Japan came to interview Meissner at her training rink at the University of Delaware. So naturally, you'd think this might be additional pressure for the 17-year-old Meissner, who will try to defend her world title in Japan.
The pressure, Meissner and Gregory believe, likely will be on the Japanese skaters. They are the ones who are going to have to live up to the hype, not Meissner. In fact, the focus of that TV interview was on Meissner's rivalry with Asada.
"I don't know if I'd say it's an advantage," Meissner said of her being under the radar somewhat in Japan. "But they're going to be skating in their home country."
There is some truth to all of this. No one really believed Meissner would win the 2006 world title. Even Gregory admits that Meissner "skated like she was out of her mind that day."
Gregory carries around a notebook at practice that reads, "The Road to Vancouver Begins in Spokane," meaning the journey to the 2010 Olympics was supposed to start at the 2007 U.S. Championships, not at the World Championships in 2006 in Calgary, Alberta.
And, truth be told, the glare of the Japanese media spotlight will be tough on the Japanese skaters. In their eyes, Meissner is somewhat of an afterthought.
The last time Meissner and Asada met, at Skate America in October, a pack of Japanese reporters followed Asada's every step. They could be seen filming her walking from her hotel to the rink. Asada won the short program, and Miki Ando was second. Meissner was third, quickly dismissed by the Japanese media as a threat. Meissner joked that she might as well pack up and go home.
Boy, did Meissner show them.
Ando wound up the winner, but Meissner pulled out a dazzling, six-triple performance to place second. Meanwhile, Asada, whose practices were dazzling and whose triple axels seemed as effortless as 1-inch putts, fell apart after she missed her triple axel in the free skate.
Meissner easily could be dismissed internationally because she failed to qualify for the Grand Prix Final, an event that features the top six skaters in the world. She's been out of sight and pretty much out of mind. Even the International Skating Union's own preview of the world championships leads with Asada, Korea's Yu-Na Kim and Ando.
Some will look at Meissner's performance at the U.S. Championships and wonder how strong she really is heading into these world championships. Although she was first after the short program and won the title, she made what she called "foolish mistakes" on spirals and spins to place third behind Alissa Czisny and Emily Hughes in the free skate. Both Czisny and Hughes will be competing at the world championships, as well.
Was Meissner perfect? No.
Does it matter? No.
Meissner showed her tenacity by winning the Four Continents competition the week after claiming the U.S. crown. Even though she spent a few days after nationals doing media spots in New York, Meissner competed at Four Continents and won. She won by six points, a large margin in skating's new scoring system, especially since she was in sixth place after the short program.
"It was clear that she was the champion," Gregory said. "It wasn't so close."
Call her an underdog if you'd like, but Meissner is not boarding a 15-hour flight to Tokyo to take in the sights and sample some sushi. This is a "more meat" Subway sandwich kind of girl, remember.
When asked if she had an idea of how many titles she'd like to win, Meissner couldn't answer in terms of numbers.
"As many as I can," she replied.
By her own admission, Meissner is very competitive. Recently, when she filmed TV commercials for Subway, she joked with star NFL running back Reggie Bush about doing a better job. Apparently, Bush took a long time to film his ad because he was botching the lines. Meissner was wondering what was so difficult about saying, "More meat."
"I think he was intimidated by me, maybe with my major figure skating muscles," Meissner said with her trademark giggle.
She does giggle like a girl much younger than her 17 years. She's quick to point out she doesn't have a driver's license yet and, although she's in the throes of her teenage years, she's legitimately glad she'll continue to live at home with her parents following her high school graduation this spring.
This might all be a part of a master plan. Meissner looks and acts very sweet. Her foundation benefits children battling cancer. But on the ice, it's as if she's possessed by someone else.
"I wouldn't want to tangle with her," said Ron Ludington, University of Delaware skating director and Olympic bronze medalist.
Underdog or not, Meissner wants this world title to remain hers, even if some observers look at last year's performance as somewhat of a fluke.
"I'd love to do it again," Meissner said. "I want to try to be on top again."
And as for the Olympics three years from now, "I'd like to win [a medal]," she said. "A gold, that would be nice."
So Meissner gladly will take the underdog title. Just as long as some other titles come along with it.

Police: Torn-up muddy check leads to Vt IRS evacuation
BURLINGTON Police say a muddy check torn into pieces and sent to the IRS in Burlington caused a hazardous-materials scare that led to the evacuation of more than 100 office workers.
The IRS reported the checks arrival to police at about 10:30 a.m. Thursday. The Lakeside Avenue building was evacuated and police declared it was safe about three hours later.
Police said someone found a mud-covered check, ripped it to pieces and sent it to the IRS. But when the letter arrived, the mud had dried, crumbled to the bottom of the envelope and formed a granular substance, causing some alarm.
Numerous businesses also have offices inside the building, known as the Innovation Center.MORE IN This Just In
