RHP, Corey Black: It's tough to put any pitcher who clocks as high as 100 mph on the radar gun like Black does on a 'sleeper' list, but considering his 5-foot-11 stature projects him best as a long-term big league reliever he does qualify as a starting 'sleeper'. The secondary pitches -- slider/cutter, curveball, and changeup -- are all big league quality too, he just needs to show better stamina to pitch deeper into games and better consistency with his secondary pitches to remain a starting possibility.
LHP, Daniel Camarena: The recently turned 20-year old has the high level of pitch-ability, the plus secondary pitches, and the kind of great stats that don't exactly scream 'sleeper'. However, the arm strength hasn't exactly materialized yet, sitting mostly 88-90 mph, and at 6-foot-0 he doesn't have a whole lot of velocity projection in the tank. Should he bump up the average velocity to the low-90s though, he could really jump on to the national scene with his high pitching acumen.
LHP, Chaz Hebert: There are a lot of similarities between Camarena and Hebert; two above average to plus secondary pitches, innate strike-throwing ability, and a fastball that for the most part averages more in the high-80s than the low-90s right now. And to be fair, Hebert's secondary pitches have only recently ticked up to its current impressive combination form. Where Hebert might have a leg up, however, is in his rather projectable frame. At 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, he has room to fill out and he's shown he can sit in the low-90s for stretches already.

LHP, Evan Rutckyj: Many talent observers were waiting for the 6-foot-5 Canadian native to start throwing harder and he did just that in 2012, seeing his average velocity bump up to the 91-94 mph range. Throw in the fact that both his slider and changeup have improved over the past two seasons, stuff-wise everything is in place. However, he still walks a few too many guys and pitches a little too often behind in counts so if he could make improvements in those areas he would begin to jump on to the national prospect scene.
LHP, Matt Tracy: Tracy most likely will never get the attention he deserves because he's a former 24th round pick out of college, one who spent most of his college time as an outfielder. However, stuff-wise he's right up there with Rutckyj, shows better now pitch-ability, and throws strikes with a lot more regularity. He might not ever get the praise somebody with his kind of game should get but that only helps him to fly under the radar.
LHP, Nik Turley: Like Tracy, inside the Yankee organization Turley is far from a true 'sleeper' but he certainly is one in national circles despite boasting above average to plus stuff from the left side and putting up impressive numbers the past two seasons. Should he duplicate his A-ball success at the Double-A level in 2012, he most likely won't fit in the 'sleeper' category any longer.
Need To Make Their Move
LHP, Jeremy Bleich: The former first round pick made it back from shoulder surgery in 2010 to post a solid first year back in 2012, putting up some quality numbers and essentially rediscovering his once above average stuff across the board. However, he will turn 26 years old in 2013 and it remains to be see if he will be used as a starter or a reliever going forward. Whichever role he assumes though, he needs to push his way closer to the big leagues real soon.
|MORE STRIKES: Greene has the stuff, he just needs to be more aggressive in the strike zone. (Photo: Patrick Teale/PinstripesPlus.com)
RHP, Shane Greene: One of the bigger enigmas on the mound for the Yankees, Greene has some of the best pure stuff around, including a fastball that tops out at 97 mph, a killer slider, and a changeup that is now a plus big league offering. However, the recently turned 24-year old still walks way too many batters and pitches behind in counts way too frequently. Part 'sleeper' because if he ever threw a lot more strikes he could be a real force, the fact is he needs to do it very, very soon before lagging behind younger pitchers on the depth chart coming up behind him.
RHP, Jairo Heredia: The Dominican native has some of the best pitch-ability in the entire organization, including boasting arguably one of the best curveball-changeup combinations around. However, he has been dealing with a shoulder injury for the past year and half and has yet to return to the mound. He just turned 23 years old in October though so he does have some time on his side, but he really has to come back and come back physically strong to resurrect his once promising stock.
RHP, Zach Nuding: Like Greene, Nuding could also fit into the 'sleeper' category because of his ability to crank up the fastball to the 98 mph range and both of his secondary pitches still have a lot of room for improvement. However, while both the slider and changeup have gotten better over the past two years, neither are the plus pitch they need to be for him to make that next step in his development. He will still only be 23 years old in 2013 so he time on his side, but ready for the Double-A level, now would be a good time to develop a strikeout secondary pitch.
RHP, Mikey O'Brien: The 22-year old continues to be one of the more unsung prospects in the organization despite boasting three big league pitches, showing advanced pitch-ability, and putting up numbers at every minor league level. It's because of those reasons the 5-foot-11 hurler is a bit of a 'sleeper', but the fact is he has some hard-charging youngsters with better stuff coming up right behind him.
The Jury Is Still Out
LHP, Rony Bautista: Like most of the other pitchers in this category, the 6-foot-7 southpaw could fit into either the 'Highest Ceiling' or 'Sleeper' categories, but has just enough question marks right now to keep him out. His mechanics smoothed out big-time in 2012 but at his height they'll always be something he needs to work on, and his once plus velocity fell down a bit into the more average range in the name of throwing more strikes. Should the mechanics become second nature and the plus fastball comes back, watch out!
RHP, Jose Campos: The Venezuelan native acquired from the Seattle Mariners in the Jesus Montero trade a year ago could easily, and frankly should, fit into the 'Highest Ceiling' category given his plus fastball, plus curveball combination and a changeup that shows plus potential. However, he missed the majority of the 2012 season with an ailing elbow and now needs to prove he's 100 percent healthy in 2013 to become a more bankable prospect.
RHP, Jordan Cote: The former third round pick statistically had a phenomenal debut season in 2012 with the Gulf Coast League Yankees and did so even though he still has a ton of room for improvement. Not only is his fastball merely big league average, but the command of his fastball was spotty at best, often times up way too high in the strike zone. His curveball also needs a lot more consistency too. The changeup is there though and at 6-foot-5 and well built he also has a tremendous ceiling should his game continue to develop.
RHP, Rookie Davis: Davis, like Cote, had a very good statistical season with the Gulf Coast League Yankees but one that was cut short by illness and tendonitis. When he's going right though he has a big league average fastball and an above average curveball, and the changeup shows promise. And like Cote he also has some intriguing size to him that projects him to possibly add some velocity in the coming years.
LHP, Caleb Frare: An 11th round pick in 2012, Frare has some real upside to him after demonstrating above average arm strength and the potential to add more in the coming years. He also made huge strides with both his changeup and curveball in a short amount of time. However, he succumbed to Tommy John surgery this offseason and now his return, which will be at least a year away, is a wait and see proposition.
RHP, Brady Lail: The 19-year old has significant upside, so much so that it might not be long before he slides up into the 'Sleeper' or even the 'Highest Ceiling' categories at some point in the coming years. He has an intriguing sinker-curveball combination, and his changeup has come along in quick fashion. He also has the kind of body type that could put on useful muscles mass in the coming years, the kind of frame that could add velocity. Until that happens though, the jury is somewhat out on what he could eventually be someday.
RHP, Joey Maher: Like Lail, Maher has a very high ceiling of his own but just enough question marks to keep him on the outside looking in of the 'Highest Ceiling' hurlers for now. His sinking fastball gets wicked movement but the velocity is still merely big league average at this point and his curveball-changeup combination, which flashed plus potential by season's end, is still relatively in its infancy stage. Should he show more consistency with his secondary pitches and if his 6-foot-5 frame can add some velocity he could be one to watch closely in the coming years.
RHP, Taylor Morton: He had a disastrous 2012 campaign that saw his velocity dip to the mid-80s range and his normally advanced command falter to the tune of a 9.00-plus ERA with the Staten Island Yankees. It wasn't all that long ago, however, that he was sitting in the low-90s and boasted a plus changeup so the ceiling is still pretty vast. He just has to get his power back, work the lower half of the zone more, and further develop his slider. He has real comeback potential but he has to prove it on the field.
RHP, Cesar Vargas: The Mexican native is very much like Luis Niebla as three-pitch hurler who shows good pitch-ability, above average stuff, and throws strikes consistently. Like Niebla he is very much a 'sleeper' candidate too, but now 21 years old he needs to prove he can get long-season league hitters out after spending the better part of four years in the short-season leagues.

Information for:
Did John Wilkes Booth ever attend Georgetown?
Although the Archivist has heard repeated suggestions that Booth not only attended Georgetown but founded Mask and Bauble while a student, the Archives contains nothing to confirm this. The suggestions may have arisen because there were connections between Georgetown and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. In fact, of the eight people convicted in the assassination conspiracy, three were Georgetown alumni. David Herold, who attended the College from 1855-1858, was hanged for his role. He not only guided Lewis Paine to Secretary of State William Seward's house where Paine attempted to stab Seward to death, but helped the injured Booth to escape after Lincoln's shooting. Samuel Bland Arnold, who attended 1844-1845, had been part of a previous conspiracy with Herold to kidnap Lincoln and was sentenced to life imprisonment, as was Dr. Samuel Mudd, a student from 1851-1852, who set Booth's broken ankle. Arnold and Mudd were pardoned by Andrew Johnson in 1869.

Miranda Lambert's plane forced to make emergency landing
Listen to Miranda Lambert on iHeartRadio
Miranda Lambert was on a flight from New York to Nashville on Tuesday when her plane was forced to make an emergency landing after it lost pressure.
The plane landed in Clarksburg, West Virginia.
The country star apparently wasn't too freaked out by the emergency landing, as evidenced by a silly photo she posted on Instagram during the ordeal (photo below).
The picture shows Lambert and three other women posing in bulky fire suits.
Lambert captioned the photo, "Our plane had an emergency landing in Clarksburg WV. But don't worry, we found platinum fire suits. Yes!#platinum," a reference toPlatinum, her new album.

Jim Harbaugh isn't used to failure as a head coach, so perhaps it was apropos that his old college quarterback -- Andrew Luck -- and the Indianapolis Colts handed the San Francisco 49ers mentor his first losing streak in three years with a convincing 27-7 win on Sunday.
Harbaugh was a loser on two fronts in Week 3 and his misstep on the football field paled in comparison to his handling of All-Pro linebacker Aldon Smith.
The troubled Smith was taken into custody Friday morning for suspicion of DUI after running his truck into a tree at 7 a.m., where cops allegedly found the Missouri product with his foot still on the accelerator.
Smith blew a .15 on his breathalyzer test -- almost double the legal limit in California -- and marijuana also was found in the vehicle.
It was the second time Smith had been arrested on DUI chargers over the last 20 months, a time frame which includes an incident in which Smith was stabbed at a house party.
And understand Smith's latest transgression happened despite the fact he was scheduled to be at the 49ers' facility for meetings and practice by 8 a.m.
This is a kid whose life is clearing spiraling out of control, but the arrest actually gave the star pass rusher a chance to sober up and by noon, he was bailed out and back on the practice field with his team, a black mark on what has been quite a honeymoon for Harbaugh in the Bay Area.
Common sense still hadn't taken hold by Sunday and Smith played in all 67 of San Francisco's defensive snaps against the Colts with Harbaugh and the 49ers hiding behind the collective bargaining agreement, which to be fair did take a suspension off the table.
The CBA says only the league can suspend players for substance-abuse issues, something that will assuredly happen once the case itself is adjudicated.
That said, Harbaugh could have easily taken a stand as both a football coach and a human being by simple deactivating Smith. Instead he placed a win over his old friend Luck above all else, including the health and well-being of one of his top players.
Don't think so?
Back in 2012 Demarcus Dobbs, a San Francisco special-teams player. was arrested on a Friday and charged with DUI and marijuana possession. Dobbs never made the trip to St. Louis for the scheduled game over the weekend.
Harbaugh is hardly the first coach to have a different set of rules for great players, but he was the only one twisting his own ethos into a pretzel on Sunday.
"The sole reason (Smith is) playing is because they care more about winning a child's game than what a man does with his life," outspoken former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe said via Twitter.
After getting their one last pound of flesh from the troubled Smith, the Niners finally moved to the public relations phase of their specious plan, confirming Smith would be taking an "indefinite leave" with reports surfacing he's agreed to enter an in-patient facility to deal with his problems.
"I think this was the best thing for Aldon," said 49ers CEO Jed York. "And again, there's no right answer here."
Actually there was a right answer and it was a pretty easy one: take a 180- degree turn from what San Francisco actually did.
"We feel like there was no right decision," York continued. "There was no right way to do it, but this was, in our opinion, the best way to do it. We're going to support Aldon to the fullest as long as he's willing to support himself and work towards making things right."
That's lip service.
Harbaugh, York and the Niners organization already tipped their hands on what they think of Smith by playing him against the Colts. He's a disposable prop to help them win games on Sunday.
It's up to Smith and Smith alone to get the help he desperately needs.
"This is a problem and it's something that I will get fixed," Smith said. "I'll do everything in my power to make sure that this never happens again. I also wanted to let everybody know that once again I'm sorry and, like I said, this won't happen again."

From the Director:
During University exam period this past December 2013, a student wrote in the Comment Book:
Can you make sure there is room for Med students in the back part of the Library?
The writer of the comment was referring to the area at the front south end of the Dana Library that is reserved for medical, nursing and health sciences, and bio-medical graduate students. It's true that the Library staff do not actively police the area or ask for ID's. But perhaps some inter-disciplinary introductions and clarification would help. An unfamiliar person sitting near you in the area may indeed be a graduate student.
So who are the graduate students and their programs in the biomedical and health sciences disciplines and clinical professions at UVM's College of Medicine and College of Nursing & Health Sciences that should be studying in this area of the Library? Here is a list:
Medical Student Education (MD)
Graduate Medical Education (post-MD)
Cell, Molecular and Biological Sciences-CMBS (PhD)
Neuroscience (PhD)
Public Health (MA)
Clinical and Translational Science (MS,PhD)
Communication Science and Disorders (MS)
Nursing (MS-CNL, MS-NP, DNP)
Physical Therapy (DPT)
and Graduate Certificate in Post-Bacc Pre-Med (enrolled).
Consider saying hello to another person sitting near you in the med/ grad area. You may have more in common than you think.
If you have concerns about studying in this or any other area of the Library please let a member of the staff know so we may address it. Please leave your name and contact information.

LAKE STEVENS — A Lake Stevens-area man, 41, remains hospitalized from burns he suffered in late December when his pickup caught fire while he allegedly was fleeing from police after assaulting his neighbor.
Both he and the victim, 71, were listed in satisfactory condition Monday at different hospitals.
The assault was reported about 3:40 a.m. Dec. 29 in the 15300 block of 77th Street NE, between Lake Stevens and Granite Falls.
The victim told police he'd gone outside after hearing loud bangs, Snohomish County sheriff's spokeswoman Shari Ireton said Monday.
The victim said he saw the suspect outside and asked him what was going on. The suspect allegedly jumped a gate and punched him. The victim said he fell to the ground and then was kicked multiple times.
The victim declined medical treatment at the scene, Ireton said.
He later was admitted to a local hospital, where he remained Monday, hospital officials confirmed.
It's not clear if the hospitalization was a result of the attack, according to police.
At the scene that morning, a deputy attempted to approach the suspect, who was sitting in his truck nearby, Ireton said.
The man reportedly backed the truck into a fence and then tried to drive off.
The pickup caught fire for an unknown reason, Ireton said. The man got out and ran away, and the deputy gave chase.
The man reportedly fought with the deputy until additional officers arrived and helped take him into custody, she said.
He was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment of burns.
It's not clear if the man will be booked into jail when he gets out of the hospital, Ireton said. "The incident is still under investigation," she said.
Court records show the man pleaded guilty in July in another case where neighbors said he was harassing them. Deputies had been called to the neighborhood in February after the man reportedly threatened to shoot his neighbors.
At least two neighbors at the time filed victim statements saying the man often was violent and out of control. They said they were scared for their families and property.
The man was sentenced to 30 days in jail in that case.
He has not been charged in the December incident.

Brandon Davies got another chance to play in an NBA arena on Wednesday night, and this time the professional basketball hopeful stayed out of foul trouble long enough to show that he might have a future in this game beyond his BYU career.
The Cougars senior scored 21 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and recorded six assists, but perhaps the most astonishing number he posted in an easy 85-60 win over Montana in front of 12,378 fans at EnergySolutions Arena was zero.
The big guy did not commit a single foul after foul trouble limited him the last two times BYU played in an NBA arena, at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
Davies said it was "a long time ago" and "it has been a while" since he played a game foul-free. Along with staying on the floor for 33 minutes, he recorded four steals and had just one turnover. The only mildly disappointing aspect to his game Wednesday was a 9-for-17 performance from the free-throw line, prompting a mock cheer from the partisan crowd when he made a freebie after missing his first five.
"He had five assists and no turnovers at halftime," BYU coach Dave Rose marveled. "If it wasn't for him struggling at the line, I think he would have had one of his best games ever."
It was the Cougars' sixth straight win at the home of the Utah Jazz, and BYU is now 8-2 in the building since 2003. That dominance here will surely be tested in a month, when the ACC's Virginia Tech visits on Dec. 29.
"This place has been good to us," Rose acknowledged.
It was not good for visiting Montana (3-2), which saw three of its players foul out, including leading scorer Mathias Ward. He picked up his fourth foul in the first half, and was never a factor, finally leaving the court for good with 8 minutes, 24 seconds remaining, having played just 19 minutes and scoring just seven points.
"It was just us playing on attack," said Davies. "It wasn't just me, it was the other bigs coming in and the [power forwards], too. We are not going to be stopped when all the bigs are playing as well as we did tonight."
With the Cougars (5-2) cruising to their third straight win in the second half, the spotlight turned to sophomore returned missionary Tyler Haws and his quest to score 20 points or more for the seventh straight game. The only Cougar to have done so was Devin Durrant in 1983-84, but Haws was taken out of the game with 18 points and 5:32 remaining on the clock. He didn't return.
"I think I came up short, but that's all right," he said after going 6 for 12 from the field. "… I was just trying to be aggressive. I think I [missed] a 3-pointer and missed a jumper [a few minutes before leaving the game]. But it is all good."
And things are once again good for the Cougars, who have seemingly righted themselves after being swept in New York by Florida State and Notre Dame on back-to-back nights. With the exception of forward Nate Austin, who logged just two minutes because of nagging injuries, Rose said, the Cougars got above-average performances from every player who stepped on the court.
Josh Sharp added a career-high 13 points while regaining his starting spot, and the Cougars were 9 for 21 on their 3-point attempts. Juco transfers Raul Delgado and Agustin Ambrosino combined to go 3 for 4 from 3-point range.
"We had a couple guys come off the bench and hit 3s," Rose said. "I think those are possessions that can really sting another team. ...The confidence of those guys coming together can really help us."
The Cougars will need that, considering they travel to Ames on Saturday to take on the Big 12's Iowa State.
"We will be ready," Rose said.

How old is your baby now? It does take some time for the varicose veins to disappear. I have found that Barley Greens from the health food store helpful both in pregnancy and after the birth.

Chylomicronemia syndromeFamilial lipoprotein lipase deficiency
Chylomicronemia syndrome is a disorder passed down through families in which the body does not break down fats (lipids) correctly. This causes fat particles called chylomicrons to build up in the blood.
Chylomicronemia syndromecan occur due to arare genetic disorder in whicha protein (enzyme) called lipoprotein lipase (LpL) is broken or missing. LpL is normally found in fat and muscle and helps break down certain lipids. When LpL is missing or broken, fat particles called chylomicrons build up in the blood. This build up is called chylomicronemia.
Symptoms may start in infancy and include:
- Abdominal pain due to pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas)
- Neurological symptoms such asloss of feelingin the feet or legs, and memory loss
- Yellow deposits of fatty material in the skin called xanthomas may appear on the back, buttocks, soles of the feet, or or knees and elbows
Exams and Tests
Examination and tests may show an enlarged liver and spleen, inflammation of the pancreas, fatty deposits under the skin, and possibly deposits in the retina of the eye.
A creamy layer due to chylomicrons in the blood will appear when blood spins in a laboratory machine.
The triglyceride level is extremely high.
A fat-free, alcohol-freediet is required. You may need to stop taking certain medicines that can make symptoms worse. Do not stop taking any medicine without first talking to your doctor. Conditions, such as diabetes, that can make symptoms worse should be treated and controlled.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Symptoms tend to be dramatically reduced when patients adhere to a fat-free diet.
Possible Complications
When untreated, the excess chylomicrons may lead to bouts of pancreatitis, which can be extremely painful and even life threatening. There seems to be no increased risk for atherosclerotic heart disease.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Seek immediate medical care if you have abdominal pain or other warning signs of pancreatitis.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have a personal or family history of high triglyceride levels.
There is no way to preventsomeone from inheriting thissyndrome.

text: A new lawsuit is being filed today by the same attorney who previously filed a lawsuit against Bryan Singer claiming he sexually assaulted a teen. The victim in the new lawsuit was a 17 year old teen in London who accuses Singer and Gary Goddard (who was also previously sued) of sexually assaulting him in a hotel room. They began touching him and when the teen started to refuse another man was brought into the hotel room who started beating the teen so he would comply. The teen says Singer assaulted him and molested him but never actually had sex with him. He says that he finally ceded to certain sexual demands of Singer because he didn't want to be raped. Singer's lawyer denied the charges brought against Bryan Singer and says, like he did before, that this is simply a shakedown. I guess he will keep saying that until there are a whole lot more people who come forward. I wonder if there will be a trial or if this will settle and go away quietly long before we reach that stage. The longer this goes on, the more names will come to light.

Three arrested in McKinleyville on drug and outstanding warrant charges
Sheriff's deputies served a search warrant in McKinleyville and arrested three adults. Members of the Humboldt County Drug Task Force arrived at the 2200 block of Walnut Avenue in McKinleyville around 7 am this morning.
They found five adults and six children living in the single story residence. The children ranged in ages from nine months to fourteen years of age. Thirty two year old Valerie Drake was found sleeping with two of her children and in possession of Hydrocodone not prescribed for her and Methamphetamine. Money, packing materials and scales were also found. Thirty year old Casey Cooper was found in a spare bedroom allegedly trying to throw a small package of Methamphetamine out the window. Another male subject, Ryan Hill was located sleeping on the couch. He was arrested for three outstanding warrants. Drake and Cooper were taken into custody for various possession and drug charges. All three were booked into the Humboldt County jail. The children were released into Child Welfare Protective Services.

|Application Forms
|Forms Filed with Tax Returns
There are five Alabama Department of Revenue forms related to the Alabama income tax capital credit program. Three forms are application forms and are used to notify the Department of the intent to utilize the capital credit, notify the department that the project has been placed in service, and to notify the department of any administrative changes in the project owners. These forms are filed only once with the Department of Revenue. The other two forms are utilized after the project is placed in service and are filed annually with the Alabama income tax return; one is filed with the tax return of the project to compute project income and to the other is filed with the return of the recipient of the credit to compute the amount of credit to be utilized by the recipient.
These are the first three forms, to be filed with the Commissioner's Office of Department of Revenue:
These two forms are to be filed annually by companies to receive the capital credit by attaching them to their Alabama income tax return:

Moo Man hits Kickstarter target
Directors of the Sundance hit succeed in raising finance for a UK release through Kickstarter.
Rural documentary The Moo Man has hit its Kickstarter target of £20,000 less than two days before the deadline, amassing 545 backers through the crowdfunding site.
Husband-and-wife directors Andy Heathcote and Heike Bachelier launched the campaign on May 12 to self-fund a summer release in the UK.
The projected UK release date is July 12 but it will screen at Sheffield Doc/Fest this week, having previously been shown at Sundance and Berlin.
Having hit the distribution target, any further funds raised before the June 12 deadline will go towards promotion of the film.
- REVIEW: The Moo Man
Filmed over a four-year period, the film follows farmer Steve Hook and his herd of cows. Hook works to keep his family in East Sussex small, organic and sustainable - selling milk via day-to-day delivery instead of through supermarkets.
Readers' comments (2)
Good news, a fun doc and on the eve of Sheffield Doc/Fest it's great to see a doc find a new way to get into cinemas
The Moo Man also screened at the first Dunoon Film Festival on Sunday night with Andy Heathcote heading there straight from Sheffield. It went down a storm and really struck a chord with the audience.

The '69 Dart of Software
Registration is now open for SCALE 9X — register now by clicking on the winking penguin.
I got to my office and it was too cold to work. So I left the frozen tundra of Redwood Digital Research for the cozy confines of The White Raven.
From the comfort of a large coffee and a view of traffic passing New Leaf Market — a solar-powered organic grocery story which has its servers running Red Hat, no thanks to me, but still — I thought about a couple of stories I'd read this past week.
The first was a blog post by an Emery Fletcher which paints Ubuntu as the be-all and end-all of Linux implementation. While I am eternally grateful for Ubuntu's efforts in promoting Linux in the general public (even if it is to the point of putting itself first and FOSS second, but I digress) and while the blog presents an interesting point about Linux implementation, it's hard to determine whether this blog item suffers from anything more than mere myopia.
Current versions of Debian, OpenSUSE and Fedora are all as user-friendly as the current version of Ubuntu, but that does not enter into the equation in this blog. That's unfortunate, too, because what both Fedora and OpenSUSE — with its new Studio spin — have done consistently with each upgrade have been remarkable. Mr. Fletcher may be lacking some perspective — think about where Ubuntu would be without the contributions to kernel development (warning: that link is a PDF file, courtesy of the Linux Foundation) and desktop development without the three distros mentioned at the beginning of the previous sentence — a harrowingly depressing thought, indeed.
The second article — the one from which this blog title derives its name — comes from a comment I made on a discussion in LXer.com regarding this blog item comparing Photoshop and GIMP.
First things first: There are some unqualified truths in life. The sun will always rise in the east and set in the west. The moon controls the tides. The San Francisco Giants will win the World Series only once every half-century.
Above all of the aforementioned is this one: GIMP is not Photoshop.
I've used GIMP in a professional setting — namely the newspaper for which I work. Once a long time ago, the paper did not have enough Photoshop licenses to go around for all the editors, so I downloaded GIMP (not requiring a license) and used it to process photos that ended up on the newspaper's printed page. However — and you knew that was coming — I am fairly well-versed in GIMP and had little problem adapting to its interface; had another editor who is more Photoshop oriented had to do the same thing, s/he may have had a problem or two.
GIMP is an adequate photo manipulation program, but without the army of developers behind it — as Adobe has — it will pale in comparison with Photoshop. Always. So it's foolish to think that professionals wouldn't use Photoshop. In other words, if you're a professional driver qualifying for the Indianapolis 500, you're not going to strap yourself into a '69 Dodge Dart to get the job accomplished — you're going to use the appropriate tool(s) for the job. Conversely, most people don't need a turbocharged single-seat racing car to go to work and back, and to run daily errands.
Will there be a time when GIMP can rival Photoshop? Not without a huge influx of developers to match what Adobe does. Believe me, every night before I drift off to sleep, I pray to the Almighty that developers will magically appear on GIMP's doorstep (and the rhetorical doorstep of other FOSS programs) and that Job One will be making a single window interface for GIMP. Please, Lord . . .
Also, calling GIMP a '69 Dart is not an insult. I had one, and it was the best car I've ever owned, VWs included (and those who know me know my loyalties for automotive products from Wolfsburg run deep). The Dart was the most boring and utilitarian car I've ever owned, too, but it was still the most dependable and reliable.
Well, now that I'm a bit warmed up, I'll head back to Redwood Digital.
(Fedora ambassador Larry Cafiero runs Redwood Digital Research in Felton, California, and is an associate member of the Free Software Foundation.)
January 13, 2011 at 12:25 pm
95% of all photo manipulation done by 95% of all photo
manipulators can be done in/with GIMP. For Free.
Same can be said for Open Office…oops I meant Libre
Office. For Free.
Also, do not bitch about wikipedia, if you are not
contributing to wikipedia the the mistakes are your
fault. The credit for the good in wikipedia does
not go to you either. Hey, it's free also.
I guess that to keep the tone moderate here if you
have a complaint about FOSS then just leave. Real
people do real work, every day in every country with
FOSS. What's your problem?

CA Tesla Factory Had Previous Violation
FREMONT, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco Bay Area Tesla factory where three workers were burned by hot metal was previously cited for a safety violation.
Records indicate the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health fined Tesla $2,700 last year for a serious violation at the Fremont factory that was uncovered during an accident investigation.
Cal-OSHA spokesman Peter Melton said investigators found a hydraulic power press did not have a proper stop control. At least one person was injured, but Melton did not know the extent of the injuries.
Tesla was also fined for an accident at a different Bay Area facility two years ago in which a worker lost a fingertip.
Two of the three workers injured when a machine malfunctioned at the factory on Wednesday remained hospitalized on Thursday. One suffered serious injuries, and the other two had minor injuries.

Mohawk gets kindergartener suspended from school
A five-year-old boy in Springfield, Ohio was sent home last week because school district officials deemed his new Mohawk hairdo too cool for kindergarten.
WHIO-TV, the local CBS affiliate, has the story.
Keshia Castle explained that school officials banned her son, Ethan Clos, from Reid Elementary School until he gets rid of his Mohawk — a haircut in which both sides of the head are shaven or bald and there is a stripe of clearly longer hair running down the center.
Castle said that her son had been pleading to get the haircut, and she finally relented during spring break.
When Ethan returned to school, his new Mohawk received a great deal of attention from his classmates.
"They seen his hair like it was," Castle explained to WHIO. "All the little kids were going over and feeling on it and everything."
School district officials ruled that the haircut violated district policies because it was causing too much commotion in class.

PHILADELPHIA - The Saint Joseph's men's lacrosse team fell to Bryant, 14-3, in its home opener on Saturday afternoon at Finnesey Field. Sophomore Kyle Williams scored two goals and had one assist for the Hawks.
Bryant opened scoring just 34 seconds into the game on a goal by Bulldogs' Trevor Sipperly. BU added another goal nearly three minutes later before Williams would score his first to put the Hawks within one, 2-1.
The Hawks wouldn't come any closer for the remainder of the game, as Bryant went on a 5-0 run through the second quarter to give the Bulldogs a 12-3 lead at halftime.
Bryant had two man-up goals and held SJU to three shots in the second quarter. The Bulldogs fired 12 shots towards Saint Joseph's goalkeeper Griffin Ferrigan, who made four saves in the frame.
The teams battled in the third, going scoreless until Williams drilled a ball past BU's goalkeeper Jameson Love to make it 7-2. Bryant's Gary Crowley, who had four scores in the game, netted two goals to end the third at 9-2.
In the fourth quarter, Bryant iced the win with five more goals while Saint Joseph's was only able to connect on one of its five shots in the period. Williams set up senior Scott Cullinan for the Hawks third goal of the game.
Bryant outshot SJU 34-19, had a 41-22 advantage in ground balls, and won 14-of-21 face-offs, helping the Bulldogs earn the win.
The Hawks return to action when they host Rutgers on Saturday, March 5. Game time is set for 1:00 p.m. on Finnesey Field.

The arrival of three of my young grandsons to visit for a few days would normally be the occasion of a good bit of delight. But when Levi, Isaiah, and Abel drove in with their parents from St. Louis last week, I found myself unable to look them in the eye.
My problem, of course, was that the news media had been telling us for a couple of weeks how much the new bills making their way through Congress were going to add to the national debt—and how our grandchildren were the ones who would be picking up the bill. Bad timing for a family get-together.
The math was damning. Start with the $700 billion bailout Congress had authorized last fall, even before the election. Add the almost $800 billion stimulus package approved this month. But don't forget the $500 billion that Uncle Sam was already having to borrow just to balance this year's operating budget. Those three figures total $2,000 billion—or $2 trillion dollars in new debt.
Now divide that $2 trillion by 300,000,000 Americans and you'll discover that we've just added about $7,000 per person to our national debt. Just for Levi, Isaiah, and Abel, that's $21,000 of new debt—which is quite a sum for boys who are only 7, 5, and not quite 2. I should note that none of the three yet has a job, which means their mom and dad will probably have to shoulder this burden for a while. Counting them, the family debt jumped by about $35,000. Just the interest on that amount is going to run over $100 a month. The boys' dad is a pastor, and $100 a month isn't going to be all that easy to find.
It gets worse. Levi, Isaiah, and Abel are only three of my 15 grandchildren. With their parents (and one grandpa and one grandma), the total new debt incurred over the last few weeks totals $189,000. That's the price of a house in many parts of the country. Sadly, our family incurred all this new debt, and there's no house to show for it. In fact, I can't point to anything we have to show for it.
Hold on, though, because it gets still worse. I could tell you that it gets worse because all this is brand new debt—added to the $35,000 that each of my grandchildren owed before this mindless new round started. So their individual obligation is in fact jumping from $35,000 to $42,000—and their extended family obligation from $945,000 to $1,134,000.
But by now, if you're like me, you've lost track of the zeroes. And that is where things have especially gotten worse. The American population—from the president, down to the secretary of the Treasury, down to the Wall Street bankers, and then all the way down to the rest of us—no longer has a clue what is going on with the economy. Even at the level of the intelligentsia, we have become functionally ignorant of how money works. Our leaders have taught us, and we have gullibly believed, that we could break all the basic rules and still have something big to enjoy ourselves and then to pass on to our grandchildren.
Nor am I just sitting here pointing my fingers at the bad guys. I am guilty on this front, and many of my friends are owning up as well. And the world of evangelical Christians is little different from the secular world at large on this front.
And if it's not embarrassing enough how skimpy our knowledge is, we tend not even to live up to that knowledge. We all know in theory, for example, how enslaving consumer debt has a tendency to be. But we wrap our lives in debt, glibly certain the rules will never apply to us.
Of course it matters how many zeroes get tacked on to the debt soon to be inherited by the likes of Levi, Isaiah, and Abel. What matters a whole lot more is whether the rest of us come to our senses and find far better tools than any we've used so far to teach the next generation how to handle its money.
To those who say it may be too late—that an $11 trillion debt about to become $13 trillion is beyond rescue—I challenge you: Can you really look your grandchild in the eye and tell him or her that you've given up? If instead you have an idea or two about effective ways to teach the basics of economics to elementary children, I'd love to hear from you. It's important enough that we'll mention it again on WORLDmag.com and in WORLD.

Doritos wins this year's Cocky Award
Students at the University of South Carolina have cast their votes, and Doritos "Snack Attack Samurai" is the winner of the seventh annual Cocky's Super Ad Poll.
The creator of the winning ad will be invited to campus to receive the coveted Cocky Award this semester.
"This is the first time that a consumer-generated ad has won the poll," said Bonnie Drewniany, an associate professor of journalism who teaches a South Carolina Honors College course on Super Bowl advertising. "It will be fascinating to hear the story behind the ad."
Students in the Drewniany's class gathered for the big game at Newsplex, the USC/Ifra newsroom, on Super Bowl Sunday to critique this year's crop of commercials. They rated each national ad in three categories: persuasion, brand identity and likability.
Bud Light's "House Made of Bud Light" and Volkswagen's "Punch Dub" placed second and third overall, respectively.
The 2009 winning ad was the Bud Light commercial starring Conan O'Brien. The creative team from DDB Chicago claimed their Cocky Award and discussed the process for developing the ad during the College of Mass Communication and Information Studies' I-Comm Week in April.

Courtney Love first to defend tweet at trial
Listen to Courtney Love on iHeartRadio
In a case that could have far-reaching effects for users in the Twitterverse, Courtney Love has become the first person to defend an allegedly defamatory tweet in a U.S. courtroom.
Jury selection in Love's so-called "Twibel" trial is under way in Los Angeles. The rocker is accused of libel linked to a 2010 tweet, that's since been deleted, about her former attorney.
In the message, Love suggested Rhonda Holmes took a bribe to get out of helping her bring a fraud case against the executors of the estate of her late husband, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
Love argued last month that her tweet should be considered an opinion due rampant content exaggeration on the Internet and that she accidentally made it public instead of sending it as a private direct message. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge rejected the argument and set the case for trial.
A jury will now determine how defamation should be applied to social media messages.

Revisiting Early Learning Standards with ELLs in Mind
Jan 12, 2012
More than one in four young children under age 6 in the United States have a parent who speaks a language other than English, and one in seven has at least one parent who is limited English proficient (LEP). This growing group of young children is underrepresented in early childhood programs and often overlooked in policy conversations.
One way in which states can support programs in being more responsive to the needs of English Language Learners (ELLs) is through early learning guidelines. These state standards provide information to programs and providers on what children should know and do at different stages of development. Existing early learning standards related to ELLs are often vague or contain little guidance for implementation. According to analysis by the National Council of La Raza, only one state-Alaska-currently has comprehensive early learning standards that include indicators and strategies for supporting dual language learning across developmental domains. California is the only state to have specific early learning standards developed for ELLs. States can revisit their early learning standards and consider what changes or additions may be necessary to make them linguistically and culturally appropriate based on the most recent research on second language acquisition, bilingualism, and cultural competency. Standards should stress the importance of both first and second language acquisition for ELLs and include appropriate expectations for progress in speaking, listening, and understanding in both home language and in English.
Standards providing instructions for implementation are most practical for those working with children. Materials should not only explain instructional practices that benefit ELLs, they should include basic explanation of second-language acquisition to aid teachers' understandings of the dynamics of how ELL children acquire language skills. Standards should be implemented with an awareness of the multiple and diverse ways children can demonstrate competence in particular skills. Children from different cultures approach learning and demonstrate competence in different ways, based on diverse childrearing practices and concepts of normative behavior. Caregivers need guidance on working effectively with ELLS and understanding where these children exhibit similarities and differences from monolingual English learners.
Some states have used preschool standards to provide guidance to teachers on working with ELLs. The Texas prekindergarten guidelines include an introductory section on how the guidelines support instruction for ELLs. The guidelines not only explain instructional practices that benefit ELLs, they also include basic explanation of second-language acquisition to help teachers understand the dynamics of how ELL children acquire language skills. Throughout the guidelines, additional instructional techniques and child behaviors specific to ELL children are embedded. New Jersey's Preschool Program Implementation Guidelines contain several pages of information on supporting ELLs. They describe how bilingual staff should incorporate children's home languages into the program and serve as language models. They describe appropriate activities and strategies to support early language and literacy development for ELLs, appropriate classroom environments for ELLs, and the role for school districts in supporting teachers working with ELLs.
All standards should be accompanied by professional development and mentoring with all those working in early childhood settings, including directors and other administrators, teachers and paraprofessionals, and family service workers.
States report efforts to revisit early learning standards. Keeping ELLs in mind will help ensure future standards will meet the needs of this group of children.

By Judyrae Kruse Herald Columnist
Judyrae Kruse is taking some well-earned time off. Here is an encore column from April 2006.
If you've been mulling over the possibility of making muffins for an Easter morning breakfast or brunch, but your standbys (applesauce, blueberry, bran or banana) seem just a little ho-hum to haul out again this year, do I have a recipe for you.
It's called morning glory muffins, makes a whopping batch, and gets at least a 12 on a scale of one to 10.
Camano Island cook Reda R. Gross shares this specialty with us and writes, "Been enjoying your Forum columns since I moved back here three years ago.
"Before that, I read them online. I had a daughter here for 15 years, and I visited many times.
"This is a recipe I like to pass along. These muffins are just so good, and are a favorite with everyone I serve them to.
"They're yum yum for a snack any time."
She notes the original recipe, printed from Allrecipes, was submitted by Taste of Home's "Quick Cooking."
Now, here's the way we can add even more glory to Easter morning:
Morning glory muffins
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
3/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrots
1 medium tart apple, peeled and grated
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In another bowl, combine the eggs, applesauce, oil and vanilla; stir into flour mixture just until moistened (batter will be thick). Stir in carrots, apple, pineapple, coconut, raisins and nuts.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
Makes 2 dozen.
The next Forum will appear in Wednesday's Good Life section.

Solve your family photo mysteries with these books by Maureen A. Taylor:
In 1920, a good worsted suit cost approximately $60 from the Sears Roebuck Catalog while a tie cost less than a dollar. For a fun look at men's neckwear, see Roseann Ettinger's 20th Century Neckties Pre-1955 (Schiffer, 1998).
These items provide details about Connelly's life in the first half of the 20th century.
I'll be back next week to discuss his clothes. In the meantime, what's the oddest thing you've ever seen in a family snapshot?
There were technical limitations with early photography. One of them was the lack of color. Customers wanted their images to look as realistic as possible so photographers developed ways to add color to their images.
In the 1860s and early 1870s some photographers took double-exposure images and suggested that spirits were present.
It was possible to add a background into an image. If you see a person posed in front of an unlikely landscape then it's possible that this image is a composite of two different images.
Years ago I bought one of these at a photo sale. Look closely at the background. There is a woman the wrong proportion to the rest of the family. She's also wearing a dress from the early 1890s while everyone else is dressed in the styles of the late 1890s.
You can see a line around her head that illustrates the place where the studio dropped her into the scene.
Here's an example.
This image dates from circa 1910, but this technique was common before this date.
This young woman has three poses of herself combined into one photo.
Next week I'll be back with a famous example based on two Civil War photos taken by the Brady studio.

Words by Carleton Curtis
Chris Cole is an accomplished gent. The half-man/half-videogame character has won every award there is to win, snagged every magazine cover there is to snag, and landed every trick there is to land. Well, except one (but more on that later). And yet with every passing year, just when you thought Cole couldn't possibly outdo himself, he outdoes himself. It's maddening, really. His achievements may be as predictable as Lindsay Lohan going lezzy, but like any audience in the presence of a gifted magician, we fall for it every time. A 360 flip flung down Wallenberg? He couldn't possibly do something gnarlier… until he does it. Cleaner. As his double-dose part in the new Fallen video demonstrates—as do the following eighteen pages in this mag—Chris Cole will fool and amaze you once again. And you won't mind playing the mark again, either. Don't try this anywhere kiddos—not even on your PS3. (interview begins below gallery)
Photos by Shigeo, Seu Trinh, & Dave Chami
What are you up to Chris?
I'm just eating a hot dog.
At the airport, huh. Are you off to the Ride The Sky world tour?
Yeah, we're all about to board the plane to Vancouver right now.
Did you recover from the madness at Spreckels [Theatre]?
[Laughs] Yeah, I don't get hangovers. I've only had about two hangovers my entire life.
When was the last one?
Ooooo… bachelor party. The only time I get hangovers is if I'm black-out wasted, puking and whatever. I get the hangover when I should be getting the asphyxiation.
Since you're at an airport, I gotta ask you what took you so long to move out to California?
I like Pennsylvania better, and the east coast better. It's true. That's what it is. Anyway, I started to see how hard it was to get as much footage as I need at this point in my career, so it was really impossible to only live in Pennsylvania. I can't get all of my footage on tour either. It was harsh.
What's the one thing that Pennsylvania had that you wished California has?
Family. And my friends. Everything would be fine if Black Box [Distribution] would move to Philadelphia.
That would solve all of your problems.
It actually would. I'd be fine, it'd be perfect.
Do you think Jamie's gonna include that in the budget next year?
I very much doubt that's going to be in the budget.
Let's rewind a few weeks and talk about the Maloof Money Cup. Did you have any input in designing the street course?
Let me think… no.
Do you think the pros who were involved had an unfair advantage?
Nah, I don't think so. Because the dudes that had the advantage skated good. But it wasn't like they had all their tricks wired on every obstacle, hammering out impossible tricks. It wasn't like they had a training facility or any of that crap. The rails were all street spots—nobody's going training at Wilshire or at Hollywood High. Training at Wilshire would be decent, but Hollywood High is different 'cause that ground is haaaaaaaaarsh.
What's your take on the Money Cup as a whole?
I thought the course was awesome and the fact the Maloof brothers backed us and put that much money into the sport. But the format was almost impossible. They keep doing these contests with seven dudes at the same spot and you have seven minutes to rip your ass off. You have to run back and half the time people get in your way on the rail, so you can't make your trick. Seven minutes just isn't enough time to do anything—you might as well give me a 60-second contest run.
It's the same deal at the X Games. Is there anything fun about sessioning a double-set handrail simultaneously with ten other dudes?
No. At the end of the seven minutes, you're about to throw up because you're just running your ass off.
You're a guy who bridges the gap into the contest world—where do you draw the line as to what contests you actually enter?
They have to be a best-trick format or a jam format contest, otherwise you're not going to see me there at all. "Sixty seconds, don't fall, or else you lose" is not as fun as going out and skating a street spot.
Who's the best all-around rider on the contest circuit?
I guess it depends on who's on the contest circuit.
Well, there are a lot of Brazilian dudes… Ryan Sheckler… Greg Lutzka…
All those dudes are good, but if I had to pick, it would be a straight-up street skater. Koston, Reynolds, Dompierre… Koston and Reynolds are so obvious, anyone would pick those two. For good reason.
You've been a fixture on the contest circuit recently. So how have you avoided picking up an energy-drink sponsor? You could have the house paid off pretty quick.
It gets to a point where you're whoring yourself out. I also don't want to be somebody's marketing droid, wearing head-to-toe gear. That's not me and that's not how I work. There's nothing wrong with making money, but bending who you are to get that money is wrong. I'd love to pay off my house and support my family for the rest of my life, but at the same time, there's something in most people—I hope—that makes it impossible to do those things. I can't stop my run, stand in front of the camera, spin my board and show my stickers, and all that. No offense to any of those dudes who do it, because they're just trying to pay off their house or kids, but I have a real hard time swallowing it.
How does being a pro affect the time you spend with your wife and kids?
Good and bad. As a professional skateboarder, you make your time for the most part, and you pick when you're gonna be on the road and when you can hang out with your family. But the other part is two to three weeks of traveling, and during that time your son is growing up doing things without you. Your wife has a 24-hour duty with the kids every waking minute.
You sound guilty. I just had a baby too, and I feel guilty when I'm spending the night at TransWorld on deadline.
That always happens. They're also the mother and they're more instinctual. A lot of the time the child needs that more than they need you.
What's been Wyatt's first trick on a skateboard?
He does this thing where he puts the tail of his board on a one-stair, like the bottom stair, and he'll drop in on it. He'll roll out and everything. It's pretty tight.
Already shredding the gnar. Let's talk about Ride The Sky. What was your daily routine like during the final days of filming?
Oh yikes. It was rough. There were certain holes in my part, even though I filmed more than enough for the part. The trickiest part of filming a video is what looks right in certain areas, and you don't know about that stuff unless you're editing the part the whole time you're filming. We found out what looked weird during the last month of filming. So it was go out every single day, get heel bruises, swollen palms, elbows, and hips. Then do it all over the next day.
Was it premeditated that you'd be filming for last part in the Fallen video?
[Laughs] Uhhh, yeah, I guess so. I was gonna gun it to do whatever I could, to make the best video part I could, and if that ends up being last, then awesome. If it doesn't, that's awesome too.
Does it feel any different to have the last part in the video, as opposed to say, the third part?
Yeah, it feels really different. [Laughs] It's an accomplishment though, it's a good feeling.
Let's talk about the Fully Flared effect. Did that have any influence on the way you were filming for the Ride The Sky?
Honestly, it made me excited to skateboard. But as far as trying to get tech because of those dudes… that's not the case. I'd always tell people, as a joke, "I'm gonna get tech for this next video part." But in this case, I was already working on that stuff for a while and having a lot more fun, not just jumping down rails and gaps anymore. There are so many variables to rails and gaps, but I found a lot more inspiration skating the stuff I skated when I was younger. Like ledges and stuff. I like to have a little splash of that in my parts, depending on my patience.
Does Jamie push you harder than you push yourself?
He pushes, that's for sure. But if I don't want something, most of the time he understands. I'm motivated enough on my own that if I say "no thanks", that's legit, and I don't need to explain myself to anyone.
Is that certain trick you were rumored to be trying at Carlsbad going to end up in the final pressing of Ride The Sky?
No. That's not going to end up anywhere. I never landed said trick as good as I wanted to for the video, so after going back ten times and battling it ten different sessions, I decided it didn't feel like skating anymore. It just felt like weird work. Like punishment I was inflicting upon myself, instead of doing something fun. I kept pushing and pushing and pushing for something that wasn't happening the way I wanted to, so I just said, "F—k it." Eventually you gotta call it quits on certain things.
Does it every stress you out that somebody could be doing the same trick at the same spot and that footage is going to drop sooner?
With that trick, yeah. But most of the time, I'm trying to do something that I hope somebody else isn't doing. As weird as that sounds, you hope for that. You also hope the people you know will know tell you these things. Like if somebody who's friends with Eric Koston knows he kickflip back tailed it, you hope he'd tell somebody in my posse that he kickflip back tailed it.
Elaborate on your backside 360 at Love. There was some controversy around that trick because some kid poached it, then leaked the video on YouTube. Do you have any comment on that kind of sh-t?
Yeah, it's sucks and it's ridiculous. You're out there giving everything you've got for a trick, then some dude says he's just shooting a photo of it with a digital camera, you tell him not to film and push him away… You know, you shouldn't even have to tell somebody not to film. But, you have to tell them and then they act like you're a dickhead. Now all of a sudden your this big a—hole, but I work hard on my tricks and some dude's putting it up on YouTube, like "Here, check it out."
That sucks for you, but imagine how we feel seeing our entire video leaked on YouTube.
Yeah, I'm so off that sh-t. I buy my music, you know what I mean?
What about the rest of your tricks in the video? Which one gave you the most satisfaction rolling away?
Mmmmm… good question. That's hard. Four years deep, almost everything in there I guess. Everything was a good little battle. To pick one, the fakie ollie front blunt big flip?
That's your final answer. What song would you have skated to if Jamie and Mike [Gilbert] had no say?
If I could pick any song I wanted? That is a hard, hard, hard question. Probably "Party Hard" by Andrew W.K. Nah, he'd be good but I don't know which song.
Where's that dude been lately?
New York, being a motivational speaker.
What is he motivating people about?
Just going out and being happy, doing what you want to do, living life to the fullest.
So "Party Hard" failed to communicate that message?
All of his songs are about partying.
What's up with you partying with Kenny G?
We went to Gigantour, which is a Job For A Cowboy, Children Of Bodom, and Megadeth tour. We were hanging backstage with the Children Of Bodom dudes, and what's funny is I put on Kenny G in the car on the way up to the concert. We have this ongoing thing about Kenny G playing these notes that you could pretty much sing with your eyebrows. It's kind of ridiculous. So we played him in the car, then I'm walking by a little drunk in the hallway, and this dude looked just like him. So I went up to my friend and said, "Why don't you do yourself a favor and go back there? Kenny f—king G." So he went to go look, came back, and said, "Dude it looks just like him!" Then Hank, the bassist from Children Of Bodom, goes, "No, that is really Kenny G. His son is a big fan of our band." And I'm like, "Get the f—k outta here." So we shot a Hot Wax posse photo with Kenny G backstage while Megadeth was playing.
That sounds so surreal. Maybe for your next video part, you can have Children Of Bodom do a Kenny G cover.
Dude, they would kill it.
Talk about your collaboration with them on your Fallen shoe.
I've loved that band for quite some time, and I finally got in contact with them through a couple people at Tsunami Entertainment. I was psyched on their whole imagery because it was so close to what I was doing at the time, so I sent them some stuff. They were really down-to-earth cool dudes, and they'd even wear it on stage. Every time I'd give them anything, even a free T-shirt, they were so appreciative, like calling you up the next day thanking you again for it. So we came up with the idea of cross-marketing the shoe. It came out really cool.
What are the last three albums you bought?
"Weird Al" Yankovich, box set… damn, this is hard. I guess I've only been buying songs, not albums. I've got all the Bodom stuff except Tokyo Warheart Live. Kate Bush stuff and Elton John stuff too.
Is there a secret to making music sound good?
There actually is. [Laughs] There's a couple things you can do. I generally like the A chord. I also like doubled-up vocals, you know how the Beach Boys are? They've got one dude singing F sharp, one dude singing flat, one dude singing a B. Those are the tricks for me.
Final question time. You've pretty much had a model career—solid sponsors, loyalty to your sponsors, consistent coverage, and always raising the bar. Is there anything you would have changed along the way?
It's an easy answer, but you don't want to change anything, because—you know—the butterfly effect changes the course of everything that happened. There were a couple things I could've not skated for, but whatever. Everything ended up good. I don't have any complaints.

Nissan Leaf electric wins Japan car of the year - 12 Dec 2011
Held during the first week of December 2011, Japan's Tokyo Motor Show recognizes motor giant Nissan with "Car of the Year Japan" award for its electric vehicle Leaf, marking the first time in history that a zero-emission vehicle has been chosen as the winner.
On December 5, 2011, the Sabah Wildlife Department on Malaysia's island of Borneo calls on the palm oil industry to halt deforestation near rivers to protect the water for human consumption as well as the proboscis monkey, whose populations have declined so steeply that it is now one of the world's most endangered species.
Assessing climate change across 24 countries, the UK's Met Office Hadley Center on December 5, 2011 stated that, without exception, all have warmed overall since the 1960s, with extreme heat occurring more frequently, while very cold temperatures are being seen less often.

When a multi-week injury such as a high ankle sprain is combined with injury-prone running back Darren McFadden , a quick recovery is expected by no one. Well, almost no one. Yahoo.com's Jason Cole wrote Monday that McFadden is "expected to be back" for Sunday's game against the Saints after missing just one game.
Fantasy Analysis:
However, McFadden and teammate Mike Goodson were seen Monday still sporting walking boots. I am extremely skeptical that McFadden could be able to play this week, but as always, we'll know a lot more by Wednesday or Thursday. Marcel Reece would probably handle the bulk of the backfield touches again if those two are inactive for the Saints game. Given the matchup, his versatility and his workload -- he had 20 touches versus the Ravens and doubled the combined touches total of Taiwan Jones and Jeremy Stewart -- I think Reece is a pretty nice flex option for Week 11.

As new recordings are complete, I'll edit this post and add it to the list. • Physics, 48:01 - Purchasable on website - Five Example Scenes - Fourteen Scripts • Particles, 59:44 - Purchasable on website - Four Example Scenes - Six Scripts • Input Managers, 28:25 - Purchasable on website - Eleven Scripts -*Feature-Complete Arcade Game -*Internet-Compatible Input Manager • 2D Mechanics, 47:54 - Purchasable on website - Eight Scripts - Example 2D-3D Scene •*Animation, 32:35 - Purchasable on website - Two Scripts - Animation Testing Script


text: The NY Post is reporting that Snooki is pregnant with her second child. The former Jersey Shore star needed a hook to get another show and a new pregnancy would probably do it for her. In the article it also says that she wants to get married and the theme of her wedding be Great Gatsby. I'm guessing she wants the Leonardo DiCaprio version rather than the Robert Redford version. I'm guessing she has no idea who Robert Redford is and don't even get me started whether she knows it was a book before any of the movies. If you ask her who F. Scott Fitzgerald is her first guess is going to be a clothing designer and her second guess will probably be Vice-President.
