If you walk past BayFest's Launching Pad Stage on Friday evening and you notice a band so excited that its members' feet aren't touching the ground, you're probably looking at Before Nine.
The Gulf Coast quintet — featuring members from Mississippi and Mobile — is fresh off the most exciting experience of its career: Opening for classic rock band Kiss at a Houston-area arena show Sept. 17.
They'd entered a contest sponsored by the Guitar Center chain and eventful.com. News of their victory arrived a week before the Texas show, as Before Nine played at Club 44 in Daphne.
Vocalist David Merriam had been joking with the audience all night about the contest, saying word would come at any time. And then it did, via text message.
"The place went crazy," Merriam said. He had to show the text to the band. Then everybody else in the room wanted to see it.
"It was everything we had dreamed it would be," he said of the performance. He got to meet Gene Simmons backstage, the stage crew treated the band graciously, and Before Nine played for a crowd he estimated at 12,000 to 15,000 people.
See video of and descriptions of the bands playing the BW's Launching Pad Stage at BayFest this weekend.
Before Nine might later win a grand prize that includes a $10,000 Guitar Center shopping spree. They might pique the interest of Simmons, who does have a record label, after all.
But that would just be gravy.
"Our dream has already come true," Merriam said.
So what carries over to the band's latest appearance on the Launching Pad? A sense of possibilities. And Before Nine knows that the Launching Pad is all about stopping traffic, catching listeners on their way to the Pepsi and AT&T/IP stages.
Merriam said he thinks Before Nine can win listeners over with clear, clean lyrics and strong harmonies. Not to mention the residual excitement of their first arena show.
"We'll play the small stages as big as we play the big stages," he said.

Here at the Tenth Amendment Center we've had a number of requests to put together a recommended-books section on the website, and while that proposition isn't really as easy as it would seem, it's something we're working on. In the meantime, and especially after seeing Lew Rockwell's "Some Books I Like†post, I thought it was a good idea to do something similar here.
What follows are 18 books that I've found to be insightful, influential, educational, and/or moving over the years. Some are introductory and easy to read, others take a far more scholarly approach.
If you're looking for last-minute Christmas gifts or simply something new to tackle – I believe each and every book here would be a good addition to your reading. And best yet – anytime you go to Amazon.com through one of these links and make a purchase (for one of these books or anything on their site), a portion of the sale goes directly to support TenthAmendmentCenter.com. Thank you to everyone for your purchases on Amazon!

The Australian and Malaysian governments are working to retrieve a piece of debris that washed up on the coast of Mozambique, amid reports the wreckage is "likely" from the doomed Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

MH370: Timeline of events
On March 8 2014, Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 departs Kuala Lumpur International Airport bound for Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew on board. Half an hour later, the plane disappears from radar.
News agencies, CNN, NBC and AP all on Thursday cited a US official as saying the debris is likely to belong to the Boeing 777 that went missing on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board.
Malaysia's Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai took to Twitter to urge against speculating, but said there was a "high possibility" the wreckage was from a Boeing 777.
"Based on early reports, high possibility debris found in Mozambique belongs to a B777," he said.
"I urged everyone to avoid undue speculation as we are not able to conclude that the debris belongs to #mh370 at this time."

Malaysia's Department of Civil Aviation said it was "working closely with the Australian counterparts to retrieve and to determine the origin of the debris".

A spokesperson for the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau told Fairfax Media the agency had been advised of the discovery and was working to secure the debris.
"The ATSB is in contact with the governments of Mozambique and Malaysia to ensure the part is secured for examination," the spokesperson said.
The debris was reported to be part of the horizontal stabiliser and is on its way to Malaysia.
The ATSB could not provide any further details on where the piece would be examined.
NBC reported the piece was found on a sandbank in the Mozambique Channel, in the same corner of the Indian Ocean where last year the only confirmed piece of debris from the plane - a flaperon - was found on Reunion Island.
This is in a different part of the ocean where the massive Australian-led underwater search is taking place.
The search effort has so far failed to uncover a single trace of the plane despite scouring 85,000 square kilometres of the southern Indian Ocean floor.
The ATSB on Wednesday released its regular operational update and reiterated that "in the absence of credible new information that leads to the identification of a specific location of the aircraft," the search would end.

Liverpool, NY – The Humane Association of CNY is seeking bakers for the animal shelter's second annual "Biggest Bake Sale Ever."
The sale will be from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on April 16 at ShoppingTown Mall in DeWitt. Last year the sale featured about 120 bakers and 7,000 donated items, said Bethann Kistner, the fundraising chairperson. Kistner said that this year they want to make it bigger.
"We have about 100 bakers signed up and we want about 50 more," she said.
Bakers, who will donate all their bake goods, can bake whatever they specialize in, she said. No refrigerated items. Kistner said last year they sold out at 3 p.m.
If you are interested in baking or volunteering at the event, call Kistner at 638-7867 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Humane Association of CNY, which is located at 4915 ½ W. Taft Road, Liverpool, is a no-kill, not-for-profit, animal shelter housing anywhere from 200 to 400 animals on a daily basis since 1966.

Chris Falcone simply refused Sunday to give in to the spasms that have raked across his back the past 3½ weeks.
Despite pain that intensified over the last few innings, the senior left-hander pitched fifth-seeded St. Joseph-by-the-Sea to the CHSAA Intersectional losers' bracket final by gutting out a 5-1 win over Molloy at St. John's University.
A matchup with the loser of Sunday night's Fordham Prep-Iona Prep contest awaits the Vikings Tuesday at St. John's. If they get past that, they'd have to beat the Fordham-Iona survivor twice to take the title. The first game of the championship round is scheduled for Friday, and Falcone would be the likely starter if Sea gets that far.
But Falcone, with a microscopic ERA — Molloy's first-inning run on Mike O'Dwyer's single was only the third earned run against Falcone in 50-plus innings — was just happy to get through the game.
"That was a big win for us," Falcone said. "We needed that."
Falcone, headed for NCAA Division II Felician, allowed four hits and five walks while striking out nine. And only two Stanners reached base in the final four innings.
All that despite a growing pain in his lower back that started after a complete-game victory against Fordham Prep in early May.
"He came to practice two weeks ago and he couldn't walk," Sea coach Gordon Rugg said after Matt Bowers broke a 1-1 tie with a double in a two-run fifth, and Mike Leone added to it with a two-run triple off losing right-hander Jonathan Ramon in the sixth. "Even now, he's a little stiff."
A medical odyssey that took him to four doctors assured Falcone that if he could handle the pain, he could pitch without exacerbating the condition. But even before Sea's best-of-three seeding win over Monsignor Farrell last week, Bowers said Falcone told him he wasn't sure if he'd be available for the playoffs.
"We've been playing together since we were 8 or 9 years old," said the senior Bowers, who stands with Falcone as the only Viking holdovers from the school's 2010 CHSAA championship team. "I had a personal talk with him and told him we really need him now."
Falcone apparently heeded his friend's words.
"I felt good enough to pitch then, so I did," Falcone said. "But today, there was no doubt I was gonna go."
Falcone started dealing after a rocky first. He walked two with one out in the third, but struck out the last two batters to get out of it and preserve the 1-1 tie Vin Yodice's RBI single afforded him in the second.
Then Falcone took command with two strikeouts in the fourth, a threat-ending "K" in the fifth, and clean sixth and seventh innings.
Meanwhile, Bowers came through with a huge hit in the fifth, a hard, lined double that hooked just far enough away from Donovan Armas in right center to score Frank Sconzo, who also doubled, and send Leone to third. Leone scored two batters later on Joe Santigate's force out at second.
Leone added the topper with a bullet that bounced on the left centerfield warning track, scoring pinch-runners Brian Russell and James Gurrieri.
"I was just throwing strikes," Falcone said. "Bowers' hit was a big hit for him. He's been struggling a bit. The defense made a lot of plays for me, too. I just gutted it out."
Falcone, among the city's top lefties, said he'll be ready for Friday if Russell does the job Tuesday.
Even if it means shaking off a few more spasms.


text: My nephew is watching my house and taking care of my dog while I'm on vacation. I thought of paying him with some accessories for his AR. He wants the Magpul hand guard but I have no idea what version/size to get. His AR has a 20" barrel. I don't know if I need to get the rifle length? Mid length? I'm not sure if the barrel length determines the length of the hand guard or not. If you can't tell I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to AR's. I appreciate the help.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Emoney1019 Overall Decent Product This Blu-Ray player has managed to withstand the test of time and is still working well, albeit, I've had a few discs that have gotten stuck but eventually was able to remove them. My biggest issue with this particular model is that the remote is less than to be desired. I had hoped that at some point Panasonic would offer a new replacement remote for this model as it has been a bit of a nuisance since I purchased in 2012. April 15, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by aloha808 Horrible remote You spend more time trying to figure out how to swipe to do what you want to do, sometimes you get it right sometimes you don't. Can't understand why they couldnt have just included a regular type remote. October 8, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Moby A very poor remote controller The remote on this player is awful. It has a touch pad that has never responded properly and is difficult to use. Instead of getting right to the point and having buttons on the remote for one touch response, you need to press a button to access an on-screen pop-up menu, then scroll through 3 screens to get to the option you may want. A waste of time. The touch pad has no markings or indications as to what swipe direction is necessary for a specific action. So those not familiar with the pad have difficulty understanding what they need to do to pause, play, ffwd., etc. It is the weakest part of this player and it should have never been paired with it. I really hate this remote. November 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hitu Best out there This is one of the best 3D players I've ever had and the best part of being of owner of this is the $$$$ PRICE. Great product, I am very happy with the quality of picture and the sound and it plays almost all the formats. November 19, 2013

Teacher's has been around a long time and still presents as an excellent product for the price. Sure, you can pay more for other Scotch - but generally why WOULD you?
A great blend at a low cost, can't beat the flavor
Tasting Notes
ColorRich Amber with yellow gold highlightsRich Amber with yellow gold highlightsNoseA deep and robust maltiness shows through at the very start that is accompanied by a gentle highland peat smoke tang. This full flavour slowly fades to allow the sweeter fruitier flavours of apples, pears and heavy honey maturity to show through.BodyFull of depth and substance.PalateThere is a challenging and exciting taste that at the same time is round and warming. This superb flavour is full of rich malts and maturity that slowly fades to a silky rounded texture.FinishWell balanced with a clean busy flavoured fullness that ends with a slow fading of flavours.
Technical Notes
Teacher's can trace its roots back to the 1850s, when a Victorian grocer named William Teacher began selling whisky in Glasgow, Scotland. As an immensely
successful brand, the company hedged its sales during the First World War by distributing to its customers ration coupons, which entitled them to only five glasses of Teacher's per week. When the war was over, business resumed, and the company was able to fulfill growing demand from its ample supply. Teacher's worldwide sales reach over 1.5 million cases and it is available in over 100 countries. It is now a brand leader in many countries including Brazil and India.
Whilst all Blended Scotch Whiskies are made with both the malt and grain whiskies, Teacher's Highland Cream is unique. The blend has exceptionally high malt content - no less than 45%. This gives it a richer, more bodied flavour. A complex blend: Teacher's uses over 30 different single malt whiskies. It is our Master Blender's skill that ensures that these malts are balanced and harmonized delivering the same full rich taste that W M Teacher created over 175 years ago.

That was fun! You're obviously doing something right to attract such a diversity of bugs, bees & birds. I love the shot of the pollen-coated bee. Just this morning I was laughing at a bumblebee that had Coneflower pollen all over its legs.

What a variety of insects you have! Love the little hummer resting... and the butterfly. I do not care for the house wren ... they have been banished from my gardens and land... murderous twrips... be careful ... they will kill other birds babbies or eggs... at least they did it here... blue bird babbies... five... eggs of tree swallows... phobee, chickadee... all last year and I would not allow them to nest so they finally gave up! Sad really for I used to enjoy their gurgling song so. Great photos! Love the title...

Looks like you had a successful safari, Lisa--there's a lot of wildlife in your garden. Love the shot of the bumblebee covered in pollen, and a hummingbird photo is the icing on the cake! There doesn't seem to be a decline in bees in our area either.

Hi Lisa,
What a wonderful safari through your flowery garden. So many wonderful buzzy bugs to keep your company. I just love them all. The butterflies are loving your flowers, too!
Oh, and you got a photo of a hummer sitting still! Amazing. They are just such a special treat to see in the garden.

Hi Lisa, great post. Love the butterflies. That white one is beautiful. You still have honeysuckle blooming. It's lovely, I really like the colors.

I saw some freaky bugs in the garden yesterday also. They must be out in droves.

Oh my, this is a wonderful post. How ironic, when I am feeling well and up to walking outside, I say to Lew, "Take me on Safari in the back yard." He walks with me and I look at every flower and take zillions of photos so I can bring the garden into my den on days I can't venture outside. I am so thankful to have your garden and mine to keep me connected virtually to nature. Thank you for taking such great photos and sharing with us, Judy.

Who needs to travel with so much in your own backyard! Great, great post, Lisa. I wonder if you can tell me the name of the butterflies on my blog header. My friend Carole in England wondered if they are of the Variegated Fritillary variety.

What great photos. And how nice of all those insects to pose so beautifully. My husband and I were just discussing whether we have seen any honey bees in the garden this year, and we may not. Troubling. But we do have other pollinators.

Isn't this weather great? I love it!

Lisa, how fun to see all the critters in your gardens. I love the diversity of the bees and wasps. The white butterfly is a 'Gray Hairstreak' sometimes called the Cotton Square Borer. It does love flowers, but also do a lot of damage to crops in the larva stage.

Sunday is very busy at your garden! Beautiful pictures.

Your closeups are terrific, Lisa and it's comforting to see all those pollinators on the flowers.
Everything looks so fresh and lush but you still want some summer so I'll wish you warmer weather!

Ashurst has advised Korea Gas Corporation ("KOGAS") on its
acquisition of a stake in the US$16 billion Gladstone Santos LNG
project ("GLNG"), which completed on 16 February 2011. KOGAS and
Total have acquired a combined interest of 15% in GLNG. Ashurst
also advised KOGAS on the associated 20-year LNG off-take contract,
which provides for the sale by GLNG of 3.5 million tonnes per annum
(mtpa) of LNG to KOGAS.
The GLNG project involves the piping of coal seam gas to a
liquefaction plant at Gladstone, Queensland, Australia. The plant
will produce 7.2 mtpa of LNG through two processing trains.
The Ashurst team advising KOGAS was led by Tokyo partner John McClenahan, with
senior associate Arabella Dove and associate Glen McAskill in Tokyo, assisted from London by energy partner Anthony Patten with
associates Joanna Kay and Emily Gunn, and from Singapore by corporate partner Keith McGuire and associate Nick
Dimitriou. Blake Dawson (led by partner Rupert Lewi) advised KOGAS
on Australian law aspects of the transaction. Commenting on the transaction, John McClenahan said:
"This is a major energy deal and we are delighted to have assisted
KOGAS in what we believe is the largest investment into Australia
by a Korean company to date. Korean energy companies are becoming
increasingly acquisitive and are increasingly looking to invest
further afield, as illustrated by this deal and the recent
acquisition of Dana Petroleum by Korea National Oil Corporation, on
which we also advised. Our team is currently advising a number of other Korean energy
players, including Daewoo International, which was recently
acquired by POSCO, on LNG and gas projects in Asia. We also
recently hired in Tokyo Dan Le Fort, former Associate General
Counsel at Qatar Petroleum, to further boost our energy team
offering in this part of Asia."

Fool contributor Anders Bylund recently called up Bertis Downs, longtime manager and legal counsel for Hall of Fame rockers R.E.M., to ask a few questions about the changing music industry. Bertis star-69'd, and here's the result.
Anders Bylund: Bertis, thank you for taking some time out of your busy schedule for the Fool. Let's start with the obvious question in this digital age. How do you feel about Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology?
Bertis Downs: I'm not an expert on technology issues, but DRM doesn't seem to work very well. We're certainly selling plenty of CDs without any protection at all, and you saw the trouble Sony (NYSE: SNE ) got into when they tried to plug that hole in the dam.
AB: So, when EMI recently decided to sell unprotected song files through Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) iTunes, that didn't bother you?
BD: Sure, go ahead. The people who want to copy music for free already have other sources anyway, so we might as well get paid for providing a similar service. If our record label (Warner Music (NYSE: WMG ) ) wanted to go that way too, it's not a problem for R.E.M. I'm not opposed to the idea of selling DRM-free downloads.
AB: Do you see digital formats replacing the physical CD entirely, anytime soon?
BD: To some degree yes, but there will always be a subset of the market that wants the physical artifact. They want the disc, the artwork, the liner notes, and so on. The 8-track may be long gone, but you still have audiophiles and collectors who buy vinyl LPs to this day.
But yeah, vinyl and 8-track and cassettes have all fallen by the wayside. It's an evolving business with new formats pushing out the old ones, and the market and consumers adapt.
AB: Some people are saying that the single-track nature of iTunes et cetera is hurting album sales, as the consumer doesn't have to buy eleven other tracks anymore just to get the one hit he wanted.
BD: Right, and that's just another side to that evolution. The artist will fill whatever format is available -- the vinyl single was once the dominant format, and people bought one song at a time then. The LP took over with about 45 minutes of recording capacity, and musicians filled that space. And the fans bought it. Now, the CD format holds a bit more, up to an hour or more per record, and we're filling that canvas too.
So if it's back to one sale, one song, then the industry will simply adjust again. It's what we do.
AB: Would you call the Internet a friend or an enemy of bands like R.E.M.? Or of musicians in general?
BD: In some ways, the net is certainly a friend. It helps us communicate with fans in whole new way, more effective ways, announcing events and the like. For instance, you may have heard that we're playing a couple of shows in Dublin this summer to prepare for the next album. We wanted to make sure that real fans could get tickets, and so there was a limit of two tickets per person, and we kept it all under wraps until the last minute. It's not easy to keep that kind of event a total secret, but it worked out just fine. So, we sent out the announcement via e-mail, to fan club members, an hour before the tickets went on sale. You couldn't do that before the Internet.
When you sell tickets that way, you put them in the hands of people who really want them. Of course a few ended up on eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY ) anyway, but those were taken down. And a couple hundred tickets were lost in transit, so those ticket numbers had to be canceled. But on the whole, I think the whole process was a great success, and it's something that couldn't be done a few years ago.
On the other hand, is the Internet hurting sales? Oh, absolutely! For a band like R.E.M., lots of sales are lost to piracy and file sharing. How do you you compete with free? Then again, I remember a presentation by the people at Evian saying that they're competing with tap water. That's not exactly free, but it's close enough to make no difference. And yet, with branding and packaging and a reputation for quality, they're doing just fine. Selling plenty of expensive, bottled water to customers who could just as well open the tap and have a drink for free. So it can be done.
AB: How do you think R.E.M. would do if it was a new band today? Starting over on today's playing field?
BD: That's a daunting prospect. There would be a MySpace campaign for sure, grassroots promotion and spreading the buzz online any way we could. But it's getting so hard for a new, unproven artist to get big-time funding, to finance the kind of touring that built our success in the early days, for example. Music videos are expensive too, and another important part of promotion today.
AB: Do you think the copyright laws need to be updated? These days, after the Sonny Bono Act, you get copyright privileges up to 70 years after the songwriter's death ...
BD: No comment on the correct length of copyright terms, but these laws are becoming hard to enforce. The incentives for making new art and music, anything creative, get harder to protect all the time. But musicians have always found a way to make a living from their music before, and they will do so again. Adapting to new circumstances, that's how music survives.
AB: Lastly, we like to play a little game here at the Motley Fool, called Buy, Sell, or Hold. If the RIAA was a stock, would you buy, sell, or hold it today?
BD: Hold ... on!
What's the Frequency, Fool?
eBay is a Motley Fool Stock Advisor recommendation.
Fool contributor Anders Bylund holds no position in any of the companies discussed here, but he does own every R.E.M. album ever released -- and a few bootlegs. Sssshhh! You can check out Anders' holdings if you like, and you won't lose your religion with Foolish disclosure rules at your side.

I'm no tracker, but I think these are deer tracks walking out past this stump onto the Ravine Lake at the Ravine Park in Cottage Grove, MN. Not sure what she was after either – not much out here but stumps and sticks. She could have just been out for a walk and wanted her footprints to be the first in the fresh snow. Sounds good to me! It really is a beautiful spot on days like this one – no wind, warm (warm for a MN winter anyway) and freshly snow covered. It can almost feel like nothing else is alive back here.
This image has been processed numerous times in the last two days, but it was the last one, about twenty minutes before posting, that I liked the best. I wanted a softer feel and limited contrast so a glow effect was applied in Perfect B&W then a Gold and Iron Blue toner, with the iron blue slightly modified. Added a slight planar blur to the background in Focal Point and a darker gradient mask to the background in Photoshop Elements. That's it. It was enough, but not too much IMHO.
Laugh more!

Tomorrow is National Feral Cat Day.
In honor of the special day, the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon is offering discounted spay/neuter surgeries for feral cats for the month of October. All qualified feral cats will be spayed or neutered for only $15, half the regular suggested donation amount. Anyone taking care of feral cats who'd like to take advantage of this offer needs to contact FCCO for a reservation, as the organization screens applicants to make sure they're not just trying to get a good deal on spaying their house cat.
Demand for FCCO's services is high; the group is holding a special spay/neuter clinic tomorrow, which is all booked up already.
National Feral Cat Day was declared by Alley Cat Allies, a national advocacy group, in 2001. Alley Cat Allies, the Feral Cat Coalition, animal shelters and veterinarians around the country promote trap-neuter-return, which means outdoor cats are humanely trapped and brought to a clinic, spayed or neutered, and vaccinated. Cats that have undergone this procedure have a small portion of their right ears removed for identification. After the surgery, the cats are returned to the place they lived previously.
Trap-neuter-return is believed to be the most efficient method of controlling feral-cat populations. It has been found that simply killing off feral animals only invites others to move into their territory. Only preventing the next generation of animals from being born is an effective means of lowering feral populations.
Furthermore, studies have found that most people support the humane TNR solution over euthanasia.
Caregivers of feral cats, or anyone interested in volunteering or donating to FCCO, should contact them at 503-797-2606 or go to their Web site.

EAST LANSING — The Michigan State Green-White Spring Game Draft takes place at 5 p.m.
MLive isn't playing a role in the draft, but I won't let that prevent me from making my list of the pick order I would have if I were drafting a Spartans' team for the future.
The Michigan State seniors are divided into two groups and will pick the teams for the spring game, which takes place at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Spartan Stadium.
For the purposes of big-picture evaluation, I'll pretend there are no injuries, and that seniors are eligible for the MLive mock draft:
1. Max Bullough, middle linebacker
Bullough doesn't have the highest NFL draft stock on the team, but he's the unquestioned team leader and a one-man run-stuffing unit. "Mad Max" will stick his head in the huddle and let people know where he stands.
2. Darqueze Dennard, cornerback
Dennard won't play in the spring game (sports hernia), but for his mock draft he's my No. 2 guy. Dennard has the highest NFL draft stock on the team and is one of the best cover men in the nation. Just call him the "Eraser;'' he eliminates receivers from game plans.
3. Andrew Maxwell, quarterback
Give me the experienced quarterback who has shown he has the poise to maintain calm in tough times, the leadership to win over teammates and coaches, and the perseverance to keep bouncing back.
4. Denicos Allen, outside linebacker
Another player who won't play in the spring game (foot), but Allen is ornery enough he might find a way to deliver a hit on anyone who gets near him on the sideline. Love the way this guy plays football, nasty with a capital "N."
5. Isaiah Lewis, safety
Lewis runs to the ball and runs through ball carriers. Another hard hitter who prefer to take someone's head off rather than go for the pick. The right kind of enforcer to make receivers think twice and backs to consider running out of bounds at the end of runs.
6. Jeremy Langford, tailback
I'm not sure how or if the coaches have discovered the best ways to use this explosive player, but his teammates praise his skills and talents, and I prefer a home-run hitter in my backfield, even if his pass protection skills are somewhat lacking.
7. Bennie Fowler, receiver
The fastest receiver in the corps, a fifth-year senior, and a guy with a lot to prove.
8. Fou Fonoti, offensive lineman
Versatile enough to play either tackle spot or inside, this 6-foot-4, 298-pounder is another leader who will plant anyone in his path.
9. Tyler O'Connor, quarterback
I'm not sure if the Michigan State coaches are running a two-quarterback offense, but I am. O'Connor is my mini-Tim Tebow, fearless on the run and willing to do what it takes.
10. Marcus Rush, defensive end
Rush has spent the past three years being the "other" guy on the defensive line, and it's time for him to break out. Rush is the Spartans' top technician on the line and a player you can count on to carry out his assignments.

Fraxel Treatment - Bangkok, Thailand
Did the Fraxel twice, each treatment was done in BKK. First time was a lot of swellign, but that got taken care of in a few days. Second time I broke out into hives and found out that some doctors do give a set of antibiotics to their patients prior to treatment. Although the results maybe... READ MORE

Want to be part of the studio audience for a live cooking show?
Come to chef/owner Vittorio Asoli's food demonstration on Aug. 19 at 6 p.m. at Trattoria Romana, 1476 Hylan Blvd., Dongan Hills; 718-980-3113. The class will be filmed for cable television, Channel 57, to be aired at a later date.
That night, the edible lecture follows a "Fish Festival" and garden tomato theme.
It starts with a seasonal vegetable salad topped with grilled jumbo shrimp and vine-ripened Jersey tomatoes.
Two courses and a red snapper dish later, dig into dessert prepared by master baker Luigi of Luigi's Dolceria in Great Kills. The cost is $79.95 and seating is limited.
If "Fish Fest" is booked, look into Sicilian Week, an event that runs all this week through Aug. 11. Find ala carte items -- some featured on Vittorio's televised cooking shows -- such as perciatelli pasta con sarde, stuffed artichoke Sicilian-style, caponatina (eggplant), penne ala Norma, housemade cannoli and specialties.
And did you hear? Trattoria Romana was voted the number one Italian restaurant for Staten Island in a "City's Best: 2008" contest. We're looking forward to seeing Vittorio's newest plaque on the restaurant's wall. Congratulations to the restaurant staff on their honor.

Modern Political Systems – Obsolete?
Why do we need politicians when we have modern technology? A question which I have thought about for a long time is, why are the world's political processes so antiquated? Athens had it almost right over 2000 years ago using a simple black and white stone system, since then, complexity, corruption and financial dominance has turned ...

After the office visit with Professor Duwez were the labs: lab after lab of metals and metal-making machines. There were tall cylindrical tanks of compressed gases standing guard like sentries and glass cabinets full of crystal-structure models. There were stately electron microscopes, balances, strain gauges, electric-arc furnaces, diffractometers, vacuum chambers, micro-hardness testers, powder blenders, fatigue testers, and vacuum furnaces.
On desks, tables, and lab benches lay metals of nearly every imaginable shape: ingots, sheets, rods, pellets, wires, bars and slugs. These alloys began as heterogeneous powders varying in glint, size and granularity. After mixing, blending and melting in furnaces they became uniform solids. What began as pharmacopoeia ended as metallica. Room after room of metallica. And more: an atmosphere, a tangible aura of modern and mythic melded together.
It seemed to me as if Midas himself had preceded me in all the brilliance of his metallic manifestations. Midas! The legendary king whose gilded touch turned base matter to gold. Brass touched with tin became bronze; iron alloyed with carbon engendered steel. Here in these labs his touch was not just fabled Midian gold; it was silver, copper, zinc, tin and titanium. It was brittleness, hardness, stress-intensity, and tensile strength. Metals had a range and quality in their perfections and faults that mirrored the human heart.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The U.S. Senate voted 56-26 Monday to confirm Janet Yellen as the new chief of the Federal Reserve, making her the first female head in the central bank's 100-year history, according to The Washington Post.
Yellen, 67, is currently the second-in-command at the Fed, and is set to succeed current chairman Ben Bernanke on Feb. 1, according to the Post.
"She has proven through her extensive and impressive record in public service and academia that she is most qualified to be the next chair," Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., told the Post.
Yellen's confirmation comes as the Fed begins to ease up on stimulus programs, such as bond-buying, that have been in place to soften the blow of the economic downturn, according to Bloomberg.
Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said he voted against Yellen's confirmation because he did not believe she would do anything to change the heavy-spending policies of President Obama.
"Since 2008, the Fed's printing presses have generated a backdoor stimulus nearly four times greater than the $787 Obama stimulus," Shelby said. "The Fed is the world's largest holder of U.S. Treasury bonds and the biggest enabler of our exploding debt."

(AP) -- Oklahoma State says Sports Illustrated has informed the school that it plans to publish a series of articles about alleged misconduct in the university's football program starting in 2001.
The university said in a statement Saturday that Sports Illustrated outlined allegations involving inappropriate activities and actions, the majority of which occurred between 2001 and 2007.
Related: Oklahoma State fans react to allegations.
The university says it has contacted the NCAA about the allegations.
OSU Vice President of Athletics Mike Holder said, "We are shocked by the allegations raised about our football program. We take the allegations seriously. Whether they have merit or not, we don't know. But we will find out.
"Our athletic department understands the high expectations OSU President Burns Hargis and the OSU Board of Regents have set for us. Our coaches and staff understand we will not tolerate any violations that compromise our pursuit of excellence, the highest of ethical standards, and full compliance with NCAA rules and regulations," Holder said.
The school did not describe the allegations in its statement Saturday. It says Sports Illustrated didn't provide all of the specifics of the accusations.
University President Burns Hargis said the school is troubled by the claims and will investigate.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- After 22 years in her Avenue S Ensley home, Mercidee McKinney is staying at an Arkadelphia Road hotel, courtesy of the American Red Cross and an arsonist Birmingham authorities say has torched 13 abandoned houses in a single week.
Sound asleep early Saturday morning, McKinney awoke to the sound of her grandson's dog barking and saw the house next to hers burning a bright orange. The fire soon spread to hers and burned a path through her attic.
"It's not livable," McKinney said Tuesday. "It was almost paid for."
Investigators on Tuesday continued to follow leads as they pursue the arsonist who has struck 13 times since May 15. In addition to the 13 abandoned houses, the fires have damaged three neighboring homes, said Birmingham Fire Marshal C.W. Mardis.
A fire late Monday night in Roosevelt City is not believed to be linked to the arsons, Mardis said.
Birmingham officials are expected to meet today to discuss plans to soon demolish the fire damaged homes after Mayor William Bell on Monday declared the houses created an emergency situation.
Birmingham police Sgt. Johnny Williams said Tuesday no arrests have been made. Police had said a suspect had been identified, but Williams said that is not the case.
For McKinney, the real mysteries are where she will live and why the long-abandoned house that was set on fire was not demolished before the arsonist struck.
McKinney said for the last three years it has stood empty except for the occasional homeless person who would camp there.
McKinney said before the fire, city officials had told her it was on a list to be demolished.
With her own home heavily damaged by fire, McKinney on Tuesday was unsure where she will stay.
"The Red Cross gave me one more day" in the hotel room they put her up in, McKinney said Tuesday.
"I don't know where I'm going after that," McKinney said. McKinney said she does have homeowners insurance.
And while 13 arsons in a week is unusual, it is not unheard of, said State Fire Marshal Ed Paulk. Fire investigators are looking into a string of seven arsons in Prichard, Paulk said.
Arson fires often inspire copycats, though Paulk said that's not necessarily the case with the Birmingham fires.
"Sooner or later, we'll figure it out and put a stop to it," Paulk said.
Anyone with information about the fires is asked to call Birmingham's Fire Prevention Bureau at 250-7540.
News staff writers Kent Faulk and Joseph D. Bryant contributed to this report.

Deployment Childcare is Hard for All
Survivors of service members must not only face their grief head on, they must also learn about the casualty benefits due to them. The following information is meant to help you understand survivors' benefits and how to obtain them.
In the event of a service member's death, a casualty assistance officer in the Army and Air Force - or casualty assistance calls officer in the Navy and Marine Corps - is assigned to help the family with important matters. The officer serves as a liaison between the service member's family and the service branch. The CAO or CACO is expected to be both empathetic and professional in order to provide adequate support to the next of kin. When performing casualty assistance duties, this assignment takes precedence over all other conflicting responsibilities.
The CAO or CACO is assigned to help the family for an indefinite period of time, until the family determines that assistance is no longer needed. CAOs and CACOs help families understand benefits and entitlements and complete claim forms.
The death gratuity is a payment of up to $100,000 for the survivors or other individuals identified by the service member prior to his or her death while serving on active duty. Families of reservists who die while on or en route to active duty, or those in a drill status, are also eligible to receive the death gratuity if designated by the service member. The death gratuity may also be payable if an eligible member or former member dies within 120 days of release or discharge from active duty. The longstanding purpose of the death gratuity has been to provide immediate payment to assist survivors of deceased members of the armed forces to meet their financial needs during the period immediately following a member's death and before other survivor benefits, if any, become available.
In addition, spouses of service members who die overseas as a result of a military action do not have to pay federal taxes on income earned by the service member during that year.

Recent experimental results have shown that the highly directional frequency-upconverted backward-stimulated emission from a two-photon-pumped lasing medium possesses the property of optical phase conjugation. To explain this property, a Gabor's quasi-collinear holographic model is proposed for a two-photon-pumped gain medium. According to this model, the input IR pump beam (after passing through a phase-distorting medium or an aberration plate) can be assumed to consist of two parts: an undisturbed regular portion and a phase-distorted irregular portion. These two portions interfere with each other and create a volume holographic grating within the pumped region inside the gain medium. While an initial regular backward-stimulated emission (as a reading beam) is passing through this holographic grating, a diffracted wave is created and amplified together with the reading beam. A rigorous mathematical analysis shows that under certain conditions the combination of these two parts (the reading beam plus the diffracted wave) of the backward-stimulated emission can be an approximate phase-conjugate field of the total input-pump field.

Syracuse, NY -- Adrian Jones was sitting in a friend's van with three children early Sunday outside a Midland Avenue residence in Syracuse when he saw a man in a dark hoodie appear nearby, according to one of the children.
It's not clear why, but Jones pulled a 3-year-old girl down and shielded her just as bullets shattered the window next to her, the girl's brother told their mother.
A bullet grazed the girl, Adorable Reddish, hospital records show. Several other bullets hit Jones in the chest and neck, Syracuse police said. And shattered glass appears to have struck Adorable's 2-year-old brother, Definest Reddish, in the right cheek, family said.
Jones, 24, of Syracuse, was listed in critical but stable condition Sunday at Upstate University Hospital, Syracuse police Sgt. Tom Connellan said.
City police are trying to piece together exactly what happened shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday outside Landice Reddish's home at 1317 Midland Ave.
Reddish said she doesn't know who might have shot at the van with three of her children inside.
"I don't have a clue," she said. "I don't know why."
Reddish was driving home with her 2, 3 and 10-year-old children. Her cousin Lynere Middlebrooks and her 3-year-old daughter also were in the Chrysler Town & Country van. On their way, Reddish stopped to pick up Jones.
"He was around. We just gave him a ride," Reddish said.
Later she added, "I give people rides all the time, I just seen him and I just gave him a ride."
Reddish planned to drop off her children with her mother so they could go to sleep and then take Jones "whereever he was going," she said.
When they arrived at Reddish's home, Middlebrooks' daughter said she had to use the bathroom. Middlebrooks got out of the van with her daughter. Reddish also went inside briefly.
Reddish's children remained in the van with Jones. Her 3-year-old, Adorable, moved from her car seat up a row.
The 10-year-old boy told his mother what happened next: Adorable was playing at the window where their cousin Lynere Middlebrooks had been sitting when suddenly Jones pulled Adorable down and shielded her. Bullets shattered the window where Adorable had been sitting.
After the bullets rang out, the 10-year-old saw a man in a dark colored, drawstring hoodie standing several feet away in their front yard, and saw "fire," he told his mother.
The 10-year-old boy's mother requested his name not be published, because she feared for his safety as a witness to the shooting.
"We weren't even (inside the house) five minutes and we just heard shots," Reddish said.
Middlebrooks screamed, "The kids in the car! The kids in the car!"
The women ran to the van. Reddish grabbed Adorable and Definest by their coats, and the 10-year-old ran out himself. Reddish and Middlebrooks said they saw blood on the hood of Adorable's coat and on her forehead, and thought she had been shot. After learning that Jones had been shot while shielding the girl, they realized it was his blood.
A hospital report provided by the family showed the girl had suffered a gunshot wound. Police said it appeared Adorable was injured from shattered glass flying into the van. But the family said the girl was grazed by a bullet, which they described as a sharp burn on Adorable's right arm. Her mother also said she saw several small holes in the girl's right coat sleeve.
This isn't the first time the family has been victimized by violence.
Reddish's nephew, 20-month-old Rashaad Walker Jr., was fatally shot in November 2010 while sitting in his car seat in a minivan on Coolidge Avenue. Authorities contend the toddler was killed when a reputed member of the Bricktown gang was trying to kill the child's father in retaliation for an earlier gang-related fatal shooting.
Reddish said she doesn't believe her nephew's death is connected to the shooting Sunday.
"I thank God that everyone is alive," Reddish said Sunday evening.
Jones arrived at the hospital in a private vehicle, police said.
Reddish said she remembers seeing a brown minivan driving by slowly, then turn the corner of West Colvin Street. She does not know if anyone in the van saw the shooting, or if the shooter was ever in the vehicle.
Police are asking for the public's help in identifying the van. Anyone with information about the shooting can call Syracuse police at 442-5222.

With a week left for teams to jockey for playoff position—or draft lottery position for the less fortunate—it's time to take a final look at what might shake down when the voting is done for the major NHL awards for 2013-14.
The Jack Adams Award will go to the top coach, the Calder Memorial Trophy to the top rookie, the Frank J. Selke to the best defensive forward, the Vezina Trophy to the top goaltender, the James Norris Memorial Trophy to the best all-around defenseman and the Hart Memorial Trophy to the most valuable player to his team.
There are favorites, underdogs, darkhorses and people who likely have no shot but are worth mentioning. And like anything that requires a voting system that spans the continent and features writers, broadcasters or the league's general managers, there are bound to be differing opinions.
Here's a look at how it could all shake out. Click through to see the potential winners, finalists and some other notable names in the hunt.

Vestal, NY (WBNG Binghamton)
Monday night in the STAC finals the unthinkable happened.
The Vestal boys soccer team allowed a goal.
After 15 shutouts to begin the year, their goals against average is .06, while they average better than 3.6 goals a game themselves.
In this week's action sports spotlight we look at the two sides to one team's success.
" We've been looking forward to this season since we were in middle school"
If there are two sides to every story, then there are two sides to how good the Vestal boys soccer team has been this year.
The first is obvious from the hi-lites.
Goals seem to come easy to a front line group that mixes skill, speed and power.
Forward Geno Rocco says, " Most of us have been playing together since we were 8 years old. It's basically a combination of knowing what everybody is going to do and being able to move off the ball and get into spaces and playing quickly, which helps a lot."
The other side of the story comes from the unsung defensive unit.
The one that didn't allow a regular season goal, and pitched 16 straight shutouts to start their season.
Defender Alex Pelto says, " We had both the center backs coming back, me and Alex Monteith. We just try to keep them out as best we can and it lead to shutout after shutout."
Those shutouts have at times come in one sided blowouts, which doesn't always make it easier on the defense.
Goalie Logan Calvey says, " It's hard. You have to keep your head in the game no matter what and just always be ready to react to the changes that are happening. And just be ready to go."
It would seem the greatest challenge each group could face would be each other. So how to the two sides think that matchup would work out?
" We would have a lot of trouble." " They're very good."
" I don't know if we'd shut them out. They'd get something. It would be close"
" Maybe they'd hit a crossbar?"
" Yeah, maybe." " We'll let them have that."

Here we are at installment four of my "Cooperstown's Best" series. We are going to talk second basemen today—stereotypical fireplugs like Nellie Fox.
The tendency for some, even those who grace Bleacher Report, is to just give a guy a pass if he is a middle infielder and can play decent defense and steal a sack or two.
Not in my way of thinking. If I have to make a choice between a defensive guy and an offensive one, it is a no-brainer. I take the man who doesn't have to bunt his way on every time.
Having said all that, look at who our candidates are: Carew, Collins, Doerr, Evers, Fox, Frisch, Gehringer, Herman, Hornsby, Lajoie, Lazzeri, Mazeroski, McPhee, Morgan, Robinson, Sandberg, and Schoendienst. Pretty impressive list, wouldn't you say?
This is like sifting through a pan of gold, seeing which nugget will be the biggest.
I think it is important that I go over a few ground rules before allowing you to continue. My friend, Sully, had to call a bunch of you down for not reading the introductions to these slide shows.
If you don't read them, you don't know what I am basing my information on, whom I am considering, and so forth.
There are no players from the Negro Leagues, even though they are now members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, on any of these lists in this series.
No, I am not a racist. No, I am not a bigot. I am a statistics freak, and I use them to death.
Give me some statistics, and I will furnish you with an exhaustive report. On the other hand, if you have no numbers for me, I am forced to shut the door on you. Sorry.
Only current members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame—you know, the one in Cooperstown, N.Y.—are to be included on this list.
I will be mentioning awards such as MVP, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, All-Star, and their World Series experience, but it will not count on their totals for this listing.
The reason is simply that the Mayflower Boys would be at a complete disadvantage, as most of the awards weren't presented in that era.
The Gold Gloves were not presented until the 1957 season; the Silver Sluggers didn't start until 1980. The MVP award wasn't handed out until 1911.
I am weighting this evaluation on the following categories:
BA — HR — HR/YR – RBI – RBI/YR — OBP — SLG — OPS+ — Total Bases — TB/YR — Hits – Hits/YR – Runs – Runs/YR — Runs Created/YR — Fld Pct — SB
When a "yearly average" is cited, it is based on a 162-game season, making it equal for the dead-ballers, the pre-1961 guys, and today. Those figures are readily available at Baseball-Reference.
At the request of my friend Jonathan, I am including the team names and the career ABs of each individual in the Top 10.
Prepare yourselves for the upcoming rush. Go!

Sponsored by: G.Skill International Enterprise
Review category: Hard Drives
Manufacturer info: More info
The G.Skill Phoenix Pro 40GB SSD is super fast and affordable. So if you are thinking about getting a SSD without breaking the bank, this would be a fantastic option. While a single drive performance is fantastic, a couple in RAID 0 is crazy fast! Also, if 40GBs is enough space for you the Phoenix Pro line is available in 80GB, 100GB, 160GB & 240GB capacities.
Awesome review! These look pretty cool but I still can't see making a switch to SSD when I have a perfectly fine HDD already. =/
when you tested it did you shut down all the power saving features?
So Rodney, when will you switch to a RAID 0 SSD as your standard setup?
I'm personally waiting until the RAID drivers for garbage cleanup and trim are available. Right now my Crucial CT128M225 128GB single drive runs pretty fast.
Same and bang for the buck is the big one. Fact is, a couple of excellent HDDs in a RAID 0 setup still rox. So, I'll live with my 2x WD VelociRaptor 600GB in RAID 0 for now because it offers the best of both worlds, speed and capacity ;)
Those raid 0 results are crazy fast
Yea... very impressive :)
you can get ssds that are 2TB you know
I'm speaking in general terms, but maybe I will clarify this in future reviews.
He did state that higher capacity drives are still on the way. And to be fair you are comparing a PCI-Express SSD to a SATA II.
Very cool that memory companies are jumping into the hard drive business. Do note however that this drive is a MLC and not the SLC that has a lifetime of 10x the write cycles when compared.
memory companies are not jumping into hdd business, a SSD drive is just an electronic memory similar more to RAM than regular mechanical HDDs
My statement still stands correct. Memory companies are jumping into the HDD business, even if it's called a SSD and is more like Memory than a HDDs. It's still the Hard Drive businesses that are being jumped on by the Memory corporations, regardless of the technicalities in the improperly worded terms.
Did I manage to squeal out of this one? lol You all know what I mean here. The Memory corps are building drives and that means more competition and lower prices. ;)
Does RAID 0 usually scale that bad?
Video Review will be posted in an hour or so :)
Shouldn't this be titled "G.Skill Phoenix Pro 40GB SSD Hard Drive" instead of "Video Card" ?
Love the site btw, thanks
Thanks for spotting that, fixed :)
