PHOTO: Carrie Underwood & Miranda Lambert Are 'Dames Of Throne' For 'Country Weekly' Cover
Listen to Carrie Underwood Radio on iHeartRadio | Listen to Miranda Lambert Radio on iHeartRadio
We've got a feelin' somethin' bad is about to happen. And that would be Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert's stunning beauty on the brand new Country Weekly cover. With "Girl Power" emblazoned across the front, the two powerhouse singers are snapped on stage at the recent CMA Music Festival at Nashville's LP Field. With a video intro that featured Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)," the electrifying performance solidified exactly why the singers are country music's leading ladies, and certainly gave the men a run for their (beer) money.
Within the magazine's pages, Lambert and Underwood tell all about their glamorous lifestyles, ranging from personal topics to superstardom. They also open up about their music and current artistic images.
Following the release of the song's official music video (shot in action-movie trailer-style), "Somethin' Bad" charged 18-1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs, a multi-tiered mechanism that incorporates airplay, streaming and sales data. With an 86 percent gain, the track sold 60,000 digital downloads, as of the end of tracking week on Sun. (June 19). Remarkably, the collaboration is only the third all-female venture to hit No. 1 on the tally, following Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris on "To Know Him Is To Love Him" (1987) and Reba McEntire and Linda Davis on "Does He Love You" (1993).
This marks Underwood's 13th leader on Hot Country Songs and Lambert's fifth.
"Somethin' Bad" is the second official single from Lambert's No. 1 bowing Platinum disc, which arrived with 180,000 units on the Billboard 200. This summer, she will embark on a tour (of the same name).

No Surrender: Monkeys Fight Back Against Predators, But At What Cost?
One May morning in 2009, a group of white-faced capuchins were foraging on a hillside on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. Two researchers from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Anyuri González and Lucia Tórrez, were watching the group from nearby, but when one of the monkeys started shrieking, they realized they weren't the only voyeurs.
The screams were an alarm call indicating a predator on the ground. The group's alpha male took off in the direction of the noise and was joined several other adult members of the group, and they all began making facial and vocal threats and shaking and throwing branches toward a dense tangle of liana vines.
There was something in there, and the monkeys didn't like it.
Mob Rules
While many animals go to great lengths to hide or flee from predators, some animals take the opposite tack and confront their attackers. Some species of primates, birds, fish and squirrels will harass and assault potential predators with mobbing behavior that involves loud vocalizations and physical attacks at close range.
The mobbing of a predator by capuchins is a real sight. Led by adult and subadult males, the monkeys will make loud threat and alarm calls while breaking large branches from trees and dropping them on the predator like bombs.
Researchers have been mistaken as predators themselves and received blows – at least one admitted to being knocked unconscious – from branches broken and dropped over their heads. Scientists working in capuchin territory quickly learn to to stop taking data and get out of the way when they see a monkey scanning the canopy directly above them, a sign that its looking for a branch that it will be able to break.
Some monkeys will get closer to predators if the aerial assault doesn't work. In 1988, biological anthropologist Susan Boinski watched as a group of capuchins in Costa Rica killed a terciopelo, or fer-de-lance, after pinning it to the ground with a heavy branch and then approaching on the ground to beat it with sticks. One monkey rained down a flurry of 55 strikes to the snake's body and head with a stick that it clumsily wielded like a club. Boinsky later approached the snake and found a mangled mess of bleeding wounds, exposed tissue and broken bones.
A Death in the Family
As González and Tórrez watched, a sense of alarm spread through the capuchin group. Juvenile monkeys and an adult female with a clinging infant gathered some distance away from the liana tangle, while the rest of the adults joined the alpha male on the frontline.
The capuchins' alarm calls intensified and González, who was downwind from the liana tangle, noticed a distinct smell. A cat. She could see the right side of whatever was in the liana, and based on its size and fur color and patterns, decided it was not one the ocelots normally seen on the island, but a jaguar visiting from the mainland.
The cat growled loudly, making the capuchins visibly nervous. They glanced repeatedly at one another and one of the adult females retreated to where the juveniles were waiting. Together, they moved further away from the liana. The jaguar growled again and moved around in its hiding spot, and most of the remaining capuchins also retreated.
As far as González and Tórrez could see, only six adult and subadult males remained near the liana tangle, and their vocalizations had decreased in both frequency and intensity. They looked back and forth at one another and then moved silently away from the jaguar, following their groupmates.
Only one monkey stayed behind, and continued to make alarm calls. González and Tórrez weren't able to see the monkey, and as they attempted to get close enough to verify which one it was, the cat made a very loud, very aggressive growl, and the researchers decided to retreat a little themselves.
From a safer distance, they could still hear the lone capuchin making alarm calls. Then, there was the sound of sudden movement and the rustling of branches. The alarm calls stopped and they heard two weak moans.
After that, there was only silence.
González and Tórrez encountered the capuchin group later that morning. The group was quiet, and had returned to foraging for insects. They took a headcount and found that one of the subadult males, named LK, was missing. Every other group member was accounted for but LK was not seen again over the course of their study.
At What Cost?
Approaching and mobbing predators appears to invite some obvious risks, as LK's death shows. The true costs of mobbing are hard to suss out, though, because reports of primates being injured or killed while mobbing are very rare. The LK incident is, as far as González, Tórrez and their colleagues know, the first documented fatality arising from a mobbing event.
With limited observations, researchers have hypothesized several risks. The risk of injury and/or death seems to depend somewhat on the predator. Many snakes are cryptic hunters, and, once discovered, will freeze and can be mobbed with relatively little risk. Other predators, like large cats, continue to pose a significant threat to monkeys even after they've been discovered, and some will even chase their prey into the trees, giving them no quarter.
There are also other less grisly losses to consider, like the effort that goes into fighting back and opportunity costs of taking time from other activities. Some monkeys have been known to remain at the site of a spotted, attacked or even injured or dead predator for up to two hours after mobbing. That's time and energy that could be spent foraging or mating sacrificed to a risky behavior, and even a "win" for mobbers might compromise the animals' health and reproductive success, making it a Pyrrhic victory.
Figuring out the costs of mobbing, in turn, would help explain its benefits. If the price that primates are willing to pay to harass their predators are as large and varied as they seem, the rewards should be enough to make the risk worthwhile.
The obvious benefit of mobbing for social primates is that chasing off or killing predators helps protect their social group, relatives, mates and offspring. It's also possible that mobbing events act as a learning opportunity for younger monkeys. Juveniles are able to study the animals that provoke alarm calls and defensive behavior and compare them to animals that don't, and learn to know danger when they see it.
Another benefit to mobbing may be that, because it is so costly, it acts as an honest signal of an individual monkey's quality as a mate. Attacking a predator gives a monkey the opportunity to display their physical condition, agility, and speed. Mobbing might be a way for females to evaluate the ability and willingness of males to protect them and their future offspring against threats.
Unfortunately, with so little data from the field or the lab, we don't know how often mobbing ends lethally, or the likeliness of a fatal attack when a primate does vs. doesn't mob, so it's hard to weigh the costs and benefits that play on a monkey's decision to stand its ground or retreat, maybe to fight another day.

Mobile phones are a "fifth wave" in the development of computers, according to Hermann Hauser, the veteran technology investor. When I visited him in Cambridge recently he said: "Mainframes were the first wave, mini computers were the second wave, work stations were the third wave and PCs were the fourth."
Mr Hauser, kingpin of the "Silicon Fen" innovation scene for three decades, was making a point that applies more broadly than solely IT. New technologies devour old ones in waves, destroying established businesses but simultaneously creating new ones. Read more

Sandy • Victory seemed so close or so far, depending how you looked at it.
Jordan had to be comforted by the 28 yards separating St. John Bosco from the end zone on fourth down. But a scrambling Josh Rosen found tight end Nick Lehman with a pass, and suddenly the cushion evaporated.
Losing the lead with only 45 seconds left, the Beetdiggers (5-1), the top-ranked 5A team in the state, came up an extra point short in a 34-33 slugfest with the Braves (now 1-4 after forfeiting four prior wins for using an ineligible player) on Saturday at Rio Tinto Stadium. While Jordan would've preferred the victory it almost grasped, the close contest proved the team could compete with one of the best teams in the nation.
"I think that they took us lightly," Jordan defensive tackle Emmitt Lee-Sang said. "We came out and punched them in the mouth."
The Beetdiggers launched an impressive effort, as Austin Kafentzis led a churning ground game that ate up more than 200 yards on the St. John Bosco defense.
But trouble in the passing game was the ultimate undoing: Kafentzis was intercepted three times, twice by Chandler Hawkins. The sophomore's final throw ended up in the hands of defensive back Brett Baldwin, clinching a Braves win.
By contrast, fellow sophomore Rosen threw St. John Bosco to a win, going 21-for-30 for 277 yards and four touchdowns. A quick rushing attack led by Darren Walker's 136 yards also carved the Braves' path downfield for a handful of quick scoring drives.
While Jordan's drives tended to be pounding, time-consuming affairs, the Braves were keyed by big plays, such as Arlandis Hinton's 56-yard touchdown catch, or Jaleel Wadood's 15-yard run in the first half.
"They've got a lot of team speed, I can tell you that," Jordan coach Eric Kjar said. "It was something we struggled with."
The Jordan defense was not without its moments. Lee-Sang had both a sack and a fumble recovery, and the Beetdiggers finished with three sacks in the game. Still, even when they got good pressure on Rosen, he proved slippery.
The special teams unit ended up being a drawback for Jordan as well. Jeffrey Timothy missed one attempt, then was blocked on his last. The block allowed the Braves to go up after their final score with an extra point.
The Beetdiggers have other long-term concerns: Center B.J. Cavender and running back Clay Moss each went down with ankle injuries and were using crutches after the game.
But it was hard for Kjar to be too upset after watching his team go toe-to-toe with St. John Bosco, even if Jordan took a loss.
"Our kids played hard, I'm proud of that," he said. "They worked their butts off."

Wednesday, March 18 2009 - 9/11 Consequences
9/11 Responder needs your help NOW
Charlie Giles and his family need our help. Charlie has been a huge advocate for the 9/11 First Responders. As a member of the FealGood Foundation, Charlie was not allowed to receive any assistance from the organization because it would have been seen as a conflict of interest. Sadly, and appropriately, the FealGood Foundation asked Charlie to resign so that he now can get help. John Feal released this statement:
Today the Fealgood Foundation lost board member Charlie Giles to his financial crisis. Charlie, a 9/11 responder who was seriously affected by 9/11, was told he won his workmens comp case last week and received an award letter in the mail. His lump sum settlement would have been $40,000 plus payments every 2 weeks. The insurance company now has appealed it, and has left this hero with an eviction notice from his apartment which he moved into after losing his house last year. Charlie was asked to resign from the board because none of my board members can receive charity or any monies while sitting on the FGF board. But, like the 500-plus clients and thousands we advocate for, I implore all you great Americans to please help us help Charlie, his wife and 2 daughters. The madness, the sadness and the injustice continues for brave souls who risked their own health for America 7.5 years ago.
Please help Charlie. All monies collected in this effort will be given directly to him and his family. Thanks.

Supine Access to Your Favorite Tome, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- Around 1892, the world of books greeted perhaps the most salient advance since the invention of the printing press: the Holloway Reading Stand and Dictionary Holder. "For invalids and those accustomed to read themselves asleep it is invaluable … The tired man or woman may read while resting."
- Working for J. D. Salinger's agent: "One of Ms. Rakoff's tasks was to respond to the steady stream of fan mail for the legendarily reclusive author … The letters, many of them handwritten, were personal and passionate. There were old men who had served with the author in the war and young people discovering the hypocrisy of the real world for the first time. Ms. Rakoff went off script and began to write back, giving the fans her own advice and opinions."
- What explains the spate of novels about famous novelists' wives? "Vera Nabokov, as far as I know, has not yet been transformed into the heroine of a novel. But it's only a matter of time. The demand for fiction cast in the template of 'the creative person's wife' shows little sign of abating."
- Remembering Bernard Natan, "a Romanian Jew who immigrated to Paris in 1905 and went on to become a titan of French film, a man whose brand name, for a time, rivaled that of Gaumont and Pathé, founding fathers of le cinéma français. At once media visionary and rapacious entrepreneur, he burned bright over the City of Lights until an arrest for fraud sent him crashing to earth."
- "An emergency gives reading a practical urgency, but practical urgency and literature have little business mixing. This is exactly why reading, at its best, is good for you: there's almost never an immediate, practical reason to do it. It cuts against the grain of the everyday—of the jobs we have to work, the bills we have to pay, the conversations and fashions we've been convinced we need to keep up with, the stock language and thought that float in our cultural ether, clogging our vision."

The February sweeps won't be over until the end of Wednesday, but the late-news competition has been over since just about Day 1. KUTV-Channel 2 is running away with it.
In the first three weeks of the four-week sweeps, KUTV averaged a 12.3 rating to KSL-Channel 5's 5.6; KSTU-Channel 13's 5.5; and KTVX-Channel 4's 3.4. This will be Channel 2's widest margin of victory ever over Channel 5.
There is suspense, but it has nothing to do with who's No. 1. The race for No.2 is interesting because if Channel 13 can squeak past Channel 5 which remains a possibility it will be the first time KSL has been in third place in half a century.
Channel 2 is finding ratings success pretty much across the board with its local newscasts. One exception is 4 p.m., where it trails Ch. 4. And part of that is clearly because Channel 4's lead-in, "The Ellen Degeneres Show," is stronger than Channel 2's lead-in, "Ricki Lake."
Which is why they're rather pleased at KUTV that, as of the fall of 2014, "Ellen Degeneres" will be moving to Channel 2.

text: When was the last time we had a truly productive rookie draft class? A lot of teams with great success do so because they are able to bring their rookies along faster. Often this means they are role players. They are asked to fulfill a role, and they do just that. I keep feeling as though we don't play rookies at all unless we have no choice, because a starter is injured. And when this happen we expect them to do everything. This isn't conducive to success, especially since they haven't received much playing time or snaps in practice. Something has got to change fundamentally in the way we bring rookies, 2nd and 3rd year players along on this team. If you're drafted within the first 3 rounds, you're supposed to be seeing some significant playing time. 1st round draft picks are supposed to be starters, maybe even 2nd round draft picks. 3rd round draft picks? They should be getting some serious playing time. Where was Tyrone Crawford this year? Wilber was a 4th round draft pick, but where was he? Matt Johnson has a lot to make up for due to his injuries, but I definitely think he should be given a shot to make a difference on this team. Same with Danny Coale. I think a lot of that has do with being in 3-4. When you ask a college player to learn a completely new position, it's going to set their progress back significantly. When you make players like Albright learn a new position, then switch them to another position, and then back... You aren't going to get much out of them. At least not early.

from Franklin, IN
Even though I'm a gal, I ordered these for me because the women's size I needed was sold out. I wear a woman's size 8-8.5 shoe and was concerned the men's size small would be too big but, even though there is about an inch at the end of my toe to the end of the shoe, they're they're so fluffy that they fit perfectly. I also use socks that are fluffy to hold lotion on my feet so my feet are always pretty. Not that a lot of fellas worry about that but there you have it!!! These are WONDERFUL and my first purchase from this company. I'll be back for Christmas shopping and have already given my hubby the catalogue with items circled that I'd love to have. Keep up the GREAT work!!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great slippers!
By Just a Mom
from USA
Got these as a Christmas present for the hubby. He loves them and wears them all the time, inside and for quick trips outside. Also, he recently injured his knee and has been wearing them nonstop. I asked him to wear something more substantial while he is using the crutches and he said that the slippers gripped like tennis shoes and not to worry. So, these were a great purchase and well worth the money to keep my hubbys toes safe and warm.

Ann Demeulemeester Fall 2012
There was a different sense of elegance threading through Ann Demeulemeester's collection, one that layered her habitual, artfully disheveled aesthetic with something more conventionally chic. Chic in the little black jersey dresses, sliced on the bias, that revealed slithers of bare skin as they caressed the body and fell into cowl backs. Chic in those shapely inky suede jackets with layers of peplum volume and giant pelican-throat collars. Chic in those dramatic, lean greatcoats in ebony wool that grazed the floor.
Of course, Demeulemeester gave them an edge, layering her looks (even a pair of tiny shorts) over second-skin leather pants, worn with riding boots that had a piratical swagger to their deep, cavalier cuffs. The gauntlet gloves also added period flourish, and zip fasteners could transform a jacket's tight sleeve into a wide-swinging medieval one.
There was imagination too in the texture contrasts—the rawness of rough-grated suede or leather hammered to resemble elephant hide, for instance, was contrasted against the gleam of rayon knit jerseys. The raven's-wing quills that pierced the Folle de Chaillot hair were also used as pins to fasten a funnel neck. The finale evening gowns, sent out to the magical strains of Debussy's La Mer, were a tour de force of drapery—lengths of fabric were coiled around the body like saris or togas, sidesplit Angelina Jolie–high, and seamed like thirties evening gowns to cling closer to one hip or the torso.
If only Patti Smith had been up for an Academy Award this year, we might have had a bit more modern energy and imaginative drama on the red carpet.

Added tax for "free" casino hotel rooms?
(Cleveland) - Cuyahoga County is pushing a plan to raise $2 million annually by taxing hotel rooms the Cleveland casino gives away as perks to its high rollers.
Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald wants to apply the county's 5.5 percent hotel tax to the rooms, on top of a 3 percent tax imposed by the city on free hotel rooms.
Northeast Ohio Media Group reports Friday the proposal is aimed at Rock Ohio Caesars, which gives away as many as 100 rooms a night at its nearby Ritz Carlton hotel.
But the extra tax would also be levied on any hotel room given away for free in the county.
The casino does not oppose the idea, while the Ohio Hotel and Lodging Association calls the move illegal and "unjust."

MBA Investment Funds
The MBA Investment Fund, L.L.C. is the first legally constituted, private investment company to be managed by students. The Fund is a limited liability company registered under the laws of the State of Texas. It was created in 1994 to enable MBA students at McCombs to obtain real world experience in the process of managing investment portfolios and in developing relationships with clients. The Fund has about 60 investors and $13.5 million under management in three different investment products: a growth-oriented equity portfolio and a value-oriented equity portfolio, which are managed for individual and institutional clients, and an endowment portfolio, which supports the activities of the AIM Investment Center.
The McCombs Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Fund is a student-managed investment fund based on the MBA Investment Fund but distinct in that it invests solely in U.S.-based REITs. MBA students, with the help of undergraduates in the Business Honors Program who act as the MBA's "analysts," will value pairs of REITs in an industry sector (e.g. office, retail, industrial, etc.). Following this analysis, the students present their findings and resulting recommendation to show how the Fund should invest. The REIT Fund offers students a unique opportunity to learn principles of investing, the nuances of REIT structure and operations, as well as a further education into the fundamentals that drive real estate investing. The REIT Fund is led by Professor Greg Hallman and Professor Sheridan Titman, both highly regarded professors in the MBA program.

Amy Fairfield
Undergraduate Recruiting Coordinator
Campustown 122
(309) 677-2295
M.B.A., Bradley University
B.S., Finance, Bradley University
Amy Fairfield received both her bachelor's and MBA degrees from Bradley University. Upon graduation, she worked as a General Securities Representative (Series 7 and 63 exams) as well as a General Securities Principal (Series 24 exam) to develop a new securities exchange. Amy subsequently returned to Bradley and has been an instructor in the Department of Finance and Quantitative Methods since 1999. In 2012, Amy accepted a new assignment as Undergraduate Recruiting Coordinator for the Foster College of Business. As such, she serves as liaison to the university admissions and recruitment staff as well as actively promotes the College's undergraduate opportunities to prospective students and parents, plans and implements recruiting events, and initiates new ideas and methods of recruiting, to effectuate the Foster College of Business' enrollment plan.
Prior to her new position, Amy served as Director for the Assurance of Learning program in the Foster College of Business, where she provided planning and oversight toward the maintenance of the college's AACSB Accreditation. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is the premiere business education accrediting body in the world, assuring quality and promoting excellence and continuous improvement in undergraduate and graduate education for business and accounting. Amy was instrumental in achieving a successful reaccreditation at the last review in 2011.
Amy also directs Project Springboard, the student new venture competition. Project Springboard and its sponsors advance Bradley University's entrepreneurship initiative by supporting and educating aspiring entrepreneurs in the creation, start-up, and early stages of launching a business. The Project Springboard competition brings students real-life business planning experience. The first, second and third place teams receive cash awards and mentoring from business leaders and other successful entrepreneurs. In addition, the first place team receives office space and the opportunity to begin working with an experienced group of investors, marketers, lawyers, insurance advisors, and accountants to help them successfully launch their business.
Amy has taught Quantitative Analysis II (QM 263) and Investment Analysis (FIN 325). QM 263 continues the student's introduction to statistical applications in business. The underlying rationale for statistical methods, limitations in their use and interpretation of results, serve as the course structure. Students learn how to identify suitable statistical techniques, the proper calculation procedures and ethical, non-deceptive ways of presenting results. To gain experience in organizing an analytical study, students are expected to develop and empirically test a business/economic model using multiple regression techniques.
FIN 325 provides an introduction to investment vehicles, markets, and fundamental and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis is utilized to develop the valuation of securities. Models identifying the values of conventional debt and equity securities are presented, discussed, and analyzed. Technical analysis (charting) tools, concepts and techniques are introduced and discussed. FIN 325 is a project course; the purpose of the project is to gain experience in the art and science of security analysis. By examining and evaluating an individual company's securities, the students will seek an investment decision based on the value of a company, with due consideration given to varying risk characteristics.

Has anyone here used "Best Choice 100% Hardwood Briquets"? I picked up some from Harps and did Steve's Cajun Beer Can Chicken recipee. I found that it lights a little slower than the old Kingsford. Smells better when it lights than either the old or the new Kingsford. Did not burn as hot cooking indirect as the old Kingsford. I like this for indirect cooking. Heat lasted easily as long as the old Kingsford if not longer. Price is better than Kingsford at Harps. Food turned out great. Definately recommended.
Thanks ... Blake
PS: The best bargain at my local Harps is getting "Ozark Oak" 100% natural lump charcoal for $3.88 per 10 lb bag. It is this price every day. This is the top rated lump on Nakewhiz. This is my favorite charcoal along with Hasty Bake which performed equally as well.

Wood helps Braves win 12th straight
Second-round pick strikes out eight over five solid innings
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | August 3, 2012 9:44 PM ET
The Braves' second-round pick in this year's Draft allowed a run on two hits and struck out eight over five innings Friday as Class A Rome beat Kannapolis, 9-1, for its team-record 12th consecutive victory.
"We're pitching well and we're hitting well. When you combine those two it's pretty deadly," Wood said. "It's kind of like we don't even know how to lose right now, we're just playing great baseball.
"I was a little nervous tonight, thinking, 'Dang, I hope I'm not that guy [that ends it].' But I bogged them down a little bit, didn't let them get much going. And we've got another great pitcher, A.J. Holland, going [Saturday] night."
With eight strikeouts, Wood doubled his previous high of four. In his last four starts, he's allowed two runs on five hits over 18 innings, fanning 14 batters and walking four.
Overall, the 21-year-old left-hander is 2-2 with a 1.80 ERA in eight starts, looking strong since his June 25 professional debut. He features a three-pitch mix of fastball, curve and changeup, generally working between 92-94 mph while occasionally touching 95 or 96.
And Wood has handled the pressure of being a local product out of the University of Georgia.
"More times than not, I've got a few friends [at the games], some people I know from my three years at UGA," he said. "Obviously, you go from the best conference in the country in baseball to pro baseball, and that's what everybody asks, how it compares.
"Pitching to wood bats instead of metal bats, I feel like it helps a little bit. The hitters have to earn what they get. Here, if you make a quality pitch, you're probably going to get the result you want. The difference is these guys, if you make a mistake, they won't miss it. That's the biggest difference for me. I also gain a few more hours a day at the baseball field instead of class; don't have a problem with that."
Rome's winning streak dates back to July 23. During that stretch, the Braves have outscored opponents, 87-34. Wood said that for him and his teammates, it's been a pretty enjoyable ride.
"We have a great bunch of guys, we're all pretty close friends," he added. "It's an exciting time and we're just trying to make everybody proud. It's been great."
Every year, Georgia and Georgia Tech play against each other at Atlanta's Turner Field. Wood said he never got the chance to toe the rubber in one of those games, but for now, at least, he's on the right track to get his chance.
"I'm throwing pretty well, lucky to have a pitching coach like Derrick Lewis who's taught me well," he said. "The biggest challenge is to figure out how to progress and so far, that's been good. I'm excited with where I'm at, where I'm going."
In support of Wood, Ross Heffley slugged a three-run homer and Robby Hefflinger doubled twice and plated a pair of runs. Ryan Query chipped in two hits and two RBIs.

real tools
By Grandma
from Potomac, MD
Best Uses
Tools are sturdy and child loved that they were "real tools" even though small enough for a child. Whole set was nice and I bought a small took bag for grandson to keep his new tool collection. Loved it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

First Person
The Human Centipede; Or, How to Move to New YorkBy Elissa Bassist
I moved to New York for graduate school. I was in my mid-twenties, and what do we do when we're in our mid-twenties? We move to New York with very little money and very high hopes. Like many, I entered into the nexus of love and wealth and fame looking for a piece of the glistering and transmutable dream itself. In short, I was here to write a book.
But standing on the threshold of this dream, I began to panic. I thought, I have arrived, and thought nothing of how far I had to go or what it would take to get there. I could see downtown Brooklyn from my window, and most days my impression of New York came from inside my bedroom. Outside, the sidewalks were cobbled and uneven, and the houses and apartments looked like replicas of the houses and apartments I'd watch on TV.
I'd lived in Brooklyn less than a month but had already settled into an inexplicable depression I'd nicknamed The Darkness. I couldn't leave my apartment, except to attend class in Manhattan two nights a week. Sitting on the F train, I felt sure no one could lived in New York without a constantly replenished supply of antidepressants, courtesy of some kind of pharmaceutical Fresh Direct. Read More

Agree with Nimmy, I stll dont think that last punch landed, don't believe Buzz was in on it, more Shamcock saw an easy way out and took a quick pay day.

Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
I think he dived as well but Jesus!!!!!..... $50,000 to fight in England against Robert Berry!!!
50 grand. 50 grand. no way.
there's talk of Ken fighting Don again. that would be a sorry rematch
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
He is a douche, never been a fan of Shamcock, he is like a real life troll...
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Ken is relatively broke, by all accounts. Losing that lawsuit to Zuffa wiped him out. Zuffa contracts state that if you're going to sue them, you have to do it in Vegas. Ken did and lost, so not only didn't he get the settlement he was after, he was saddled with his, and Zuffa's $175,000 legal bills.
Whether he's intentionally trying to price himself out of a fight, or making a crazy attempt at a massive payday... either way its a sad situation for a dude who could once legitimately lay claim to being the world's most dangerous man.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
In fairness, while that Buzz fight did look fishy on Ken's part, he could hardly string a sentence together afterwards.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
similar to his recent commentry for Bamma :-)
Im gona come at you like a SPIDERMONKEY.....you hear that a SPIDERMONKEY
I see this going like a combination of Tito vs Ken and Freeman vs Mir back in the day.
Freeman Smash. Ken go for leglock. Freeman defend. Ken give up. Ken get smashed into senile dementia.
When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail.

Fort Lewis Washington humanesociety is a program and group of people that are trying to stop animal cruelty. They will help the animals get out of bad situations and find better homes. Fort Lewis WA humanesociety was founded back in 1954. It is known to be the largest organization among the whole nation and is the most effective. They are able to help these animals based on the help of over 11 million people making donations to the Fort Lewis Washington humanesociety.
In order to make a donation to Fort Lewis WA humanesociety one must contact them by phone, go to their online website, or mail their donation in to Fort Lewis Washington humanesociety directly. The donations go towards helping save animals from animal cruelty and fighting, puppy mills, factory farming, wildlife abuse, horse slaughter, seal hunts and fur trades, and pet adoptions including spay and neuter.
Fort Lewis Washington humanesociety is big on making sure that every animal they receive is spayed or neutered before going to a new home. Animals are reproducing everyday and not being taken care of properly. Since the Fort Lewis WA humanesociety does this procedure, it's helping ensure that more animals are going to be taken care of properly as they should be.
The Fort Lewis Washington humanesociety will reach through individuals to get donations by educating others of what is happening to these animals, by public policy reform, and by others stating what the Fort Lewis WA humanesociety is doing to help. Any one that donates to the Fort Lewis Washington humanesociety will receive a small gift from the Fort Lewis WA humanesociety. This gift includes a subscription to the magazine All Animals.

If you are looking for a new pet for the family or yourself, it's highly recommended to go and adopt one from your local Fort Lewis WA humanesociety. They are already spay or neutered most of the time and have all types of animals available. This helps the Fort Lewis Washington humanesociety by allowing them more room to take in more animals. Their adoption fees are generally just enough to cover the costs of the animals being spayed or neutered. It also helps the Fort Lewis WA humanesociety be able to provide more to the animals such as medications, food, and water. The Fort Lewis Washington humanesociety generally has all types of dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens available to choose from. You must fill out an application and be approved to take the animal home. This is a really quick process but also helps ensure the safety of the animals. Be sure to go and adopt your next pet at the Fort Lewis WA humanesociety.
