Yankees' Sojo breaks FSL wins record
Tampa's Turley leads way on mound, Sanchez blasts longball
By David Heck / Special to MLB.com | July 5, 2012 9:14 PM ET
Nik Turley, a 22-year-old right-hander, combined with two relievers to throw a one-hit shutout and No. 3 Yankees prospect Gary Sanchez launched a homer against the Class A Advanced Manatees, to lead Tampa to a 1-0 win and give Sojo the record-breaking victory.
Sojo's 419 career wins in the Florida State League top the mark set by Luis Dorante, who managed the Jupiter Hammerheads for six years. Dorante is currently at the helm of the Yankees' Double-A affiliate, the Trenton Thunder.
"It is good to have a record like that as a manager," Dorante said. "It is great to be in the Florida State League and have that kind of success. I wish him the best. He's a great manager."
Turley allowed one hit without a walk and struck out six in six innings. The only hit off him came leading off the fourth when Reggie Keen lined a single to left field.
Relievers Manuel Barreda and Mark Montgomery finished off the final three innings, combining for three punchouts and three walks.
Sanchez provided the only run of the game with a longball in the seventh. He was promoted to Tampa from Class A Charleston three days ago, along with No. 4 Yankees prospect Mason Williams and No. 14 Tyler Austin.
"The first couple of years I managed, I was thinking like a player. ... With what I'm doing now, I'm a manager," Sojo told the Tampa Tribune last week. "My job is to make these guys better players. My job is to make sure these guys go to Double-A and not back to low A-ball. My job is to get these guys to play hard seven days a week. You can't play hard six days a week, because that one day that you don't play hard could be the day that somebody is watching you."
Sojo, who won five World Series during his 13-year playing career, first managed in the Minors in 2002. He took over for Norwich Navigators skipper Stump Merrill in midseason, eventually leading the squad to an Eastern League title.
The former infielder joined Tampa in 2006, where he continued his winning ways. He guided the Yankees to a league-best 83-56 record in 2007 and then a Florida State League championship in 2009.
In six years with the squad -- he took the 2010 season off -- Sojo has compiled a 419-346 record, good for a .548 winning percentage.
Still, Sojo has made it no secret what his ultimate goal is.
"I don't want to spend 20 years in the Florida State League," he told the Tribune. "I don't want to spend 20 years in the Minor Leagues. I want to get to the big leagues."

Dingoes can be kept as pets if they are taken from a litter no older than six weeks of age and then aggressively trained.
In one photo, two cubs rested on one of their litter mates who had just died with its eyes still open.
She has a cage where food, water, and a litter box are provided for her, but she enters only at her own discretion.
Napoleon solved the matter by ordering his officers to stuff her into a litter and carry her aboard by force.
We coo over how cute our cat is and minimize the drudgery of cleaning the litter box.

A kind of litter was constructed, and your uncle placed upon it.

I had him lifted on a litter and borne to the shade in the rear.
There was a litter, carved and gilt, with its four mattrasses of blue embroidered satin.
c.1300, "a bed," also "bed-like vehicle carried on men's shoulders" (early 14c.), from Anglo-French litere "portable bed," Old French litiere "litter, stretcher, bier; straw, bedding," from Medieval Latin lectaria "litter" (altered in French by influence of lit "bed"), from Latin lectus "bed, couch," from PIE *legh-to-, from root *legh- "to lie" (see lie (v.2)).
Meaning extended early 15c. to "straw used for bedding" (early 14c. in Anglo-French) and late 15c. to "offspring of an animal at one birth" (in one bed); sense of "scattered oddments, disorderly debris" is first attested 1730, probably from Middle English verb literen "provide with bedding" (late 14c.), with notion of strewing straw. Litter by 19c. had come to mean both the straw bedding and the animal waste in it after use.
litter lit·ter (lĭt'ər)
A flat supporting framework, such as a piece of canvas stretched between parallel shafts, for carrying a disabled or dead person; a stretcher.
The offspring produced at one birth by a multiparous mammal. Also called brood.

ANNAPOLIS, MD -- The Maryland Amusement and Music Operators Association is rallying the industry to ensure that a new gaming law won't be interpreted in such a way as to make redemption games unprofitable.
MAMOA president Larry Bershtein of Capitol Amusement Co. (Laurel, MD) is warning operators, "Your livelihood is threatened" because the new regulations "could potentially outlaw many videogames and almost all redemption machines in Maryland."
Gov. Martin O'Malley signed a bill (SB 864) on May 22. Among many other things, the bill legalized electronic bingo and clarified slot machine regulations. But it also charges the State Lottery and Gaming Commission to draw up regulations concerning various kinds of amusement equipment.
One possible interpretation of the new law's somewhat vague and contradictory language would severely restrict permissible prize values for redemption games.
In a statement on its website, MAMOA pointed to a chapter of SB 864 that said machines that offer tokens, tickets or credits that have "an individual value in trade not to exceed 5¢."
"Does this mean 100 tickets accumulated in say an arcade in Ocean City can be redeemed for an item with a value no higher than $5? So it would seem," MAMOA said.
Yet another chapter of the bill outlaws a "skills-based electronic gaming device" that awards prizes and can make play more difficult based on player performance.
Prizes may not exceed the lesser of 10 times the amount of a single game or $10 in value, according to yet another section of the bill, MAMOA said.
The association is seeking new members and support to aid in its lobbying effort in the state capital to ensure that operation of redemption games and merchandisers is not banned when state officials issue their regulations.

BC picked fourth in the 2012 SAC preseason men's tennis pollJanuary 24, 2012
MacNeil and Wills selected to preseason All-Conference team

Lichtenstein is currently ranked 14th in the ITA Southeast Region rankings, which were based on fall tournament results.
Anderson will look to build off a 2011 season in which it earned a berth in the NCAA Tournament, where it knocked of Queens in the first round before falling to a then-undefeated Armstrong Atlantic squad. The Trojans will be led by Preseason All-Conference First Team selections Stan Atema, who is ranked 13th in the Southeast Region, and Deni Mehagic.
Lincoln Memorial has been picked third in the preseason poll followed by Brevard at No. 4.
Both teams return key contributors as junior Philipp Hoffmann, who was selected on the Preseason All-Conference First Team, is expected to lead the Railsplitters while 2011 SAC Freshman of the Year Sam MacNeil will pace the Tornados.
Mars Hill received one first place vote in the preseason coaches' poll and is part of a three-way tie for fifth along with Newberry and Tusculum.
The Wolves placed one player on the preseason All-SAC First Team in Vinicius Botelho.
Catawba was tabbed eighth in the preseason poll, totaling 32 points, while Carson-Newman was slotted in the No. 9 position with 26 points.
Rounding out the preseason poll is Lenoir-Rhyne at No. 10.
The league's top-six teams will qualify for the 2012 Food Lion SAC Championship, which will be held on April 19-21 at the Rock Hill Tennis Center in Rock Hill, S.C.

Welcome to our second-to-last issue of 2012. It's also the penultimate issue in our 15th anniversary year. And if all that weren't enough cause for self reflection, this is the magazine we send to our annual Reinvention Symposium. Birthday. Reinvention. Maybe now you're beginning to understand what we've done here. This is the new, redesigned Residential Architect. And I have to say, I'm very happy to uppercase those two words after all these years as editor of the magazine. Goodbye, e.e. cummings. Hello, a more dignified treatment of the profession we admire so much.
We loved the original design of the magazine. It's served us well for a very long time, changing and evolving along with us. We have our late design director, Judy Neighbor, to thank for our durable good looks. But even she would have itched for a change by now to reflect our maturity and the growing stature of the profession to which we are dedicated. We are The American Institute of Architects' residential architecture journal, and we should look the part.
Our new look is cleaner and more streamlined. We've rearranged the furniture a bit in our new house, but you'll recognize many of the pieces. A new front section called Reinvention takes its cue from our symposium and contains new ideas, practice models, and entrepreneurial practitioners. This also is where you'll find the prototypes we used to feature in standalone departments like Shelter Lab and Green Piece. Spec Tech is a new section that encompasses Doctor Spec and New Material, our products application story and new products departments of yore.
We've moved the project coverage to the front of the magazine as well, into a new section called Case Study. The projects will relate to a specific housing problem. This month, we look at vacation homes. The cover story in most issues will be a profile of an achieving residential firm. This month, we have our annual Leadership Awards profiles. All told, we aim to give you more of what you've said you love—more photos, drawings, and plans. And more projects, products, and profiles, presented in a crisper package that connects us more clearly to our sister publication, ARCHITECT. You'll notice our shared DNA, while we both preserve our individual identities.
We admit it, change is hard. We knew we needed to update our wardrobe, but it's always nerve-wracking to go out in public for the first time in your new outfit. We've shed our jeans for more formal attire. Our portraits of architects are more stoic and serious. One architect friend called it "full frontal architecture"—our subjects photographed head-on. Form, function, with no artifice.
Like the scientists who subject themselves first to a new vaccine, I was the first to swallow the medicine. I have a new portrait. You'll see I've aged in a flash—15 years gone in a single click of the shutter. Well, we all have our battle scars and we've earned them.
We hope you like your new magazine. Yes, we've rearranged the furniture, but we still want to sit down with you at the kitchen table and hear what's on your mind. So don't be shy; tell us what you think.


text: Almost a year ago I told you that Adrienne Maloof was going to be fired from RHBH. Now, with the writing on the wall, Adrienne is trying to save some of her dignity by trying to quit first. I'm pretty sure the producers will throw her a bone and let her quit. Unless you really tick them off, they generally let you quit and say whatever you want to the press about some non-existent reason why you have to leave the show. Adrienne has barely been on this season of the show and when she has been on, with the exception of the last week or two, she has been really boring. She has never really been all that interesting on the show. Paul was way more fun and jovial and they should bring him back with his new Miss Nevada girlfriend. I'm surprised that with Taylor Armstrong on the edge of getting fired that she has not tried something spectacular publicity wise to stay.

Welcome mate I'm always curious about Mormon, since there's none in my country.What makes you started to doubt them?
I'm not sure how many ex-Mormons we have here, but do chime in and teach me a thing or two about the culture when the chance arises. Welcome to the board eye.
Welcome eye. My cousin married an ex-mormon. She has something like eight brothers and sisters and after she left only one would talk to her. And then only in secret. Hope you're not up against anything similar.

Mumford & Sons cancel more shows, bassist out of hospital
Listen to Mumford & Sons on iHeartRadio
Mumford & Sons fans are getting a little bad news with the good. The British folk rockers announced Thursday that bassist Ted Dwane has been discharged from the hospital after undergoing surgery earlier this week to remove a blood clot on his brain.
But while they say he is on the road to a full recovery, they've made the decision to cancel their headlining slot at Bonnaroo. The Mumfords were scheduled to take the stage at the Manchester, Tennessee festival on Saturday. They've also axed upcoming gigs in Bonner Springs, Kansas and Telluride, Colorado.
The group says they trust fans can respect their "collective desire to encourage Ted to make a full recovery," adding that the reluctant cancelations are based purely on medical advice they've received.

This interceptor builds off of the TokenInterceptor, providing advanced logic for handling invalid tokens. Unlike the normal token interceptor, this interceptor will attempt to provide intelligent fail-over in the event of multiple requests using the same session. That is, it will block subsequent requests until the first request is complete, and then instead of returning the invalid.token code, it will attempt to display the same response that the original, valid action invocation would have displayed if no multiple requests were submitted in the first place.
NOTE: As this method extends off MethodFilterInterceptor, it is capable of
deciding if it is applicable only to selective methods in the action class. See

transcript:
In the unforgiving void of the Arizona desert, instinct and precision mark the difference between life and death.
In this harsh dry landscape, temperatures can reach 120 degrees...in the shade.
It's high noon, and one of these two gunslingers is going to be pushing up daisies.
Battles here take place out in the open, and survival is never assured.
When this red tail hawk faces off with a rattlesnake, it starts with a deadly dance.
With the supple grace of a matador, the hawk draws the snake's fire towards his wing feathers, where a bite would be harmless.
The snake positions himself for a strike.
The hawk targets the snake's head.
The hawk draws first. Bullseye.
The hawk shows no fear...and no mercy.

Malcolm X's family talks Nicki Minaj, threatens legal action
Listen to Nicki Minaj on iHeartRadio
So what does Malcolm X's family think about Nicki Minaj and her usage of a photo of the icon as cover art for her new single "Lookin Ass N****s?"
As you might imagine, they're not entirely pleased with it. Malcom X's daughter Ilyasah Shabazz released a statement to the Associated Press, saying that the photo was "in no way is endorsed by our family. Ms. Minaj's artwork for her single does not depict the truth of Malcolm X's legacy."
Nicki apologized for the picture via her Instagram account last week and pulled the image (that she says was never official artwork), but it may not have been enough.
Mark Roesler, who is the CEO of CMG Worldwide — which handles the licensing and merchandizing issues for the Malcolm X estate — says that the rapper's usage of the photo was "dehumanizing."
"This is a family photo that was taken out of context in a totally inaccurate and tasteless way," read his statement on behalf of the family.
Londell McMillan, who is the attorney for the Malcolm X estate and attorney for estate administrators — Ilyasah and Malaak Shabazz, who are Malcolm's daughter's — released a statement on Friday asking that the photos be removed immediately.
"Failure to do so within the next 24 hours shall result in legal action," he wrote. "The initial act and subsequent acts of distribution were improper and ill-advised. Any disparagement, infringement or disrespect of Malcolm X, and his name, image, likeness and proprietary rights will not be tolerated."

We should stop criticizing government shutdowns and start thinking about what the shutdowns tell us.
Our government inflicts us with pain all the time. The recent government shutdown is the most accessible example of such pain. This kind of discomfort is so repulsive because it happens without our consent, which leads us to mistrust the responsiveness of our American government. And for good reason:
In a shutdown, well over 800,000 non-essential federal employees don't know when they'll receive their next paycheck. In turn, the rest of us are left to deal with life under a temporarily incompetent, unresponsive federal government. A lot of uncomfortable stuff happens and the government doesn't seem to care.
We think situations like these shouldn't happen in America. If a government is by the people and for the people, as Lincoln pointed out, the people should never be angry about what the government does. It should people-please; yet the vast majority of people aren't pleased with government shutdowns.
Why do shutdowns like this happen in America?
A shutdown happens when Congress cannot agree on a budget before the start of the new fiscal year. The Constitution and the law do not punish the government if it inconveniences the people with a shutdown. Instead, Congressmen, as essential employees, still get paid. And they are still given the responsibility to pass the budget.
The idea is, in a representative government, the representatives do not need legal punishment. The ballot box is the Congressional cattle-prod. All Congressmen, unless considering retirement, want to keep their jobs: they either enjoy the distinction that comes with it or want to continue their good influence in Congress. Sure, legislators must respond well to organized interests who have lots of money, but at the end of the day, the right votes, not the right number of dollars, keeps someone in office. The one sure way to keep their jobs is to pay attention to the input, opinions, and demands of their constituents. A representative who does not have one eye in Washington and the other in his district is sure to jeopardize his seat. So, they need no legal repercussions; we as voters also serve as the punishers.
This accountability mechanism, termed the 'electoral incentive,' means that if the representative does stuff in office that his voters disapprove of, it will show in the next election — with his unemployment. With this in mind, the budget deadlock we just witnessed shows that some Congressmen held to the deep-seated conviction that a shutdown is better than its alternative (in this case, ObamaCare fully-funded), risking their seats in the process.
Does a shutdown like the one we just experienced successfully prevent its alternative?
Americans surely don't think so: they tend to blame those on the other side for the pain they feel. They ignore the risky signaling that's taking place, and consider partisan actions that eventually force a shutdown rash, imprudent, and hopeless.
Americans in general agree that Congress was most to blame during the shutdown, which lessens Congress' power to be successful. Shutdown polls declare that the people blamed Republicans rather than Democrats and President Obama. But notice that the polls tend to lump President Obama and Democrats into one category, which does not account for the consistently higher approval ratings of the President with respect to Congress. In the end, Congress, not the president, will seem even more blameworthy.
With success falling out of sight, what were Republicans in Congress thinking by forcing a shutdown? What response were they trying to invoke?
All government shutdowns anticipate pain and anger, but they communicate gravity. A shutdown communicates that the alternative is a more painful than itself. If we feel pains, we should assume something significant is happening.
Even further, In light of the fact that the Republican Party forced a similar government shutdown in 1995, when conditions were better, and had to deal with heavy repercussions, it is safe to assume that Republicans are definitely risking similarly punishing outcomes. They have communicated a grave issue indeed.
Perhaps the gravity of the situation ran deeper than funding or defunding ObamaCare. Perhaps they feared that such a law will instill dangerous ideas about the nature and purpose of health insurance. Or, beyond health insurance, they feared that the law will feed the growing appetite for entitlements and instantaneous gratification that threatens the generous and selfless side of today's America.
Must we merely complain about our pain? No. We should listen to the problem the pain communicates. Look beyond the discomfort to its source; then consider why the cause is weighty enough to inflict the pain you feel.
In American government, pain is not weakness leaving the body. The pain leaving the legislative body (and coming down to us) signals graver, more threatening, weaknesses in ourselves and our nation.

Medical Face Masks to Protect Your Medical Staff
Medical face masks do the dirty work when it comes to preventing potential medical infection or contamination of your staff. The mouth and nose provide perfect pathways into the body for pathogens and germs in medical environments, so arm your staff with facial protection to keep them safe and healthy.
Protect Staff From Germs and Bodily Fluids
Create a physical barrier for your employees over their vulnerable noses and mouths during medical procedures of all types with masks. Secure ear loops or elastic bands that go around the head keep the mask in place even as your employees move around to perform medical tasks. Aluminum nose pieces that mold to the nose aid in keeping the masks still, reducing the risk of unpleasant parts of the procedure entering the body. Some masks provide only a physical barrier, while others resist varying levels of fluids. Choose particulate respirators for even more protection from airborne contaminants. Let faces masks do the heavy lifting when it comes to facial protection so your staff can worry about patient care.
Protect Those Peepers
Don't forget about eyes when you plan for facial protection during procedures. In messy medical situations, a pair of protective eyewear keeps bodily fluids from patients out of a staff member's eyes. Look for glasses with adjustable temples so each person gets a custom, comfortable fit. Anti-fog and anti-scratch lenses keep your staff seeing straight no matter how intense the situation gets. The glasses typically have colored frames along the top with lenses that cover the full eye area and extend to the sides for maximum eye coverage. Protective eyewear is reusable, but it requires proper sanitation between uses to avoid contamination.
Get Just the Right Protection
Ask yourself the level of exposure your employees face to narrow down the face mask and shield options. If your medical office deals with mostly dry procedures without the risk of bodily fluids and blood coming into contact with the face, opt for basic medical face masks. Choose the appropriate level of fluid protection for those messier procedures. If your medical staff doesn't like the idea of separate eyewear, opt for medical masks with built-in clear shields that extend in front of the eyes. This one-piece option also eliminates the need to sanitize separate glasses, so you don't need to worry about assigning someone to that messy task.
Stock Up to Keep Staff Prepared
You never know when the next mask-worthy case will walk through the door until it happens, so buying medical face masks and shields in bulk ensures your staff is always ready. The masks and shields come in boxes perfect for storage until they get called into duty by your medical staff. Store the boxes within easy reach of exam or procedure areas, so staff can suit up quickly in emergency medical situations. Since protective eyewear is reusable, buy one pair for each staff member plus extras as backups so no eyes go unprotected.

CFO Outlook for 2013 Grim
This article appears in the December 2012 issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
The coming year portends to be financially uncertain for hospitals and health systems and represents the foundational linchpin for meeting 2014 deadlines for mandates such as health insurance exchanges and ICD-10. Chief financial officers will be juggling more initiatives than ever before. Last year, when we asked several financial leaders for their predictions for healthcare in 2012, the common response was an expectation that organizations would have to continue to slog uphill through national economic strife and unsteady state reimbursements and patient volume declines.
\ http://www.flickr.com//photos/mercyhealth/sets/72157633230312972/show/
The picture remains equally intense for CFOs in 2013. Financial leaders must contend with the same the challenges from 2012 while ramping up to meet more deadlines. As healthcare organizations put the 2013 strategic plans into action, four hospital CFOs offer their insights and forecasts.
Mark Bogen
Senior Vice President and CFO
South Nassau Communities Hospital
Oceanside, N.Y.
Total number of licensed beds: 435
What are the key areas you'll be watching in 2013?
Forecast challenges. There's no question we're under attack from the federal and state governments as well as the commercial payers; with denials management, we're having to justify every single case—big or small—that gets admitted to the hospital. The amount of resources and time it takes is staggering. Even if we're successful, the delays in the cash flow and the situation with Medicare hurts us. From a resource and cash flow standpoint it also makes our ability to determine what our revenue will be challenging; it makes budgeting for 2013 that much more difficult. If you couple that with some of the healthcare reform deadlines coming up and the volume changes from inpatient to outpatient … and the federal budget issues with sequestration, then 2013 is going to be the single most challenging year for budgeting. I've never seen it as much of a moving target.
The quality agenda. We need to make whatever investment is needed to get our quality scores to where they need to be and wherever is appropriate as that has an impact on value-based reimbursements as well as public perception and physician and clinician recruitment. Still, we're limited in our ability to fund every initiative ... so as we budget for 2013 we have to balance the quality agenda against affordability and we must set clear measurements and use benchmarks and ensure we're getting the outcomes from those investments.
Technology investment. We went live with our computerized physician order entry system in June and we're trying to get our Stage 1 Meaningful Use dollars. In the past few years we've made critical investments in IT and in our EMR, but every day it seems we're on virgin territory. Just when we think we've got all the technology and people in place, we find that something else significant needs to be added. Our EMR is still only partially done and our ambulatory component is being pushed back as well as clinical documentation until we see our EMR up and running. So IT is a day-to-day expense and we keep making the investment in the hopes the returns present themselves.
Which strategic undertakings from 2012 do you feel could greatly influence the organization in 2013?
Maintaining independence. It's continuing to have the ability to operate as a community hospital long-term. We have a partnership with Winthrop South Nassau University Health System, but for the most part we've spent the past 16 years working substantially as an independent hospital with some convergent strategies. We've been talking about getting together in a more meaningful way and looking at enacting strategies on a larger scale. But when you have strategies that are for your organization as a standalone facility and then divergent strategies, it can make the organization feel disjointed.
Denials management. Also, for our denials management we hired a consultant to add to our overall case management program. We started it in August by looking at Medicare and Medicaid and we're hoping to move it into managed care. We've put a lot of emphasis on this program because for the first time ever our retrospective denials surpassed 1% of our operating revenue and cost us $5 million in lost revenue. Revenue is difficult to come by these days, so this is an area I'm wedded to seeing successful this year.
Healthcare reform is driving a lot of changes in the model of care; how are these changes influencing your physician recruitment effort or compensation structures for 2013?
Like many smaller hospitals we built physician compensation plans that are salary plus bonus, and the bonus was usually based on collections. Over the past couple of years we've moved to RVU-based compensation and our new community practices are part of those deals. But what gets difficult is most doctors are already feeling pinched financially or have lost dollars from their historic compensation.
Those who are looking to be employed are looking for income guarantees at current or historic levels, and that may be greater than the amount the office is producing. The RVU model has only been in place the past two to three years, and we're at least comfortable with it and understand it, plus we have the ability to capture the data and measure it. So for us in the short-term we'll stay with RVU-based comp, but we'll need to work on how it will fit with bundled payments or sharing jointly of revenue ... Understanding what compensation model to adopt that fits the new system of care is something were still behind on.

Having learned more about how everyday people handle the so-called "religion-science" conflict, psychologist Cristine Legare (University of Texas at Austin) and philosopher of religion Aku Visala (University of Oxford) now aim to use their data to critique and inform the standard philosophical approaches to this issue. Philosophers typically, at minimum, categorize religion-science approaches in three ways: conflict, independence, and reconciliation. Legare and Visala find that so few people actually adhere to the first two that only reconciliation plausibly coheres with human cognition.

Hey guys, can you help me out?
I'm no expert when it comes to audio gear. In fact the whole audio thing is still rather new to me and I'm learning a lot. But I'm more of an expert with drum gear… I know my limits, so I need your help.
I have a budget around $400 (could possibly go to $500). What advice could you give me for new studio monitors at that range? I'm afraid I would be compromising my low-end frequencies at that price point. Would it be better to hold off until my budget is around $1000 or so?
I found this deal – Two KRK Rokit 8's WITH stands and free shipping for $500 ($250 each):
Good idea? Bad idea? I have a close friend who is a producer at Sweetwater Studios who suggested I save up for the KRK VXT6's and the 10" KRK sub. All together that would be about $1,300. Worth the wait?
What do you recommend? Any advice is welcome! Thank you!
I have learned to just buy the exact set up I want, cause I just end up wasting money later when I sell used to get the thing I really wanted in the first place. Even though sometimes it might be overkill for what we need, mentally it feels better.
I think you would be just fine with the 8's and a sub if it can be added.
I got KRK Rokit 6's and I love them, although I don't have much to compare them to, they have been my first and only studio monitors. I see more and more KRK monitors in peoples studio pictures all the time, they seem to be taking over the lower budget studio world.
How large is your room and do you have any treatment in the room? If none, I wouldn't suggest getting larger monitors and especially not a sub. You'll turn that room into a giant bass bin and your projects will suffer from a lack of low end. Definitely get some treatment in the room and buy some monitors after you've done that. Head over to gearslutz and check out their studio building forum, they'll be happy to help you get started. You can also check out John Sayer's forum. It's dedicated to such things.
Probably not what you wanted to hear, I know. But getting that bit squared away is extremely important.
I too have KRK Rokit 6's like Sophonic and love them. They sound great! But also like Sophonic, they were my first real monitors. I do have to add a sub though, because when mastering I always have to test my recordings on other systems with more bass response to make sure I don't have too much low end (that's a good idea anyway…to test on other systems). But the 8's probably have a bit more bass response than the 6's.
Thanks for the replies, guys!
@Sophonic and @Zdenek, Do you guys have the sub with your monitors? Do you think it's worth investing in the sub? Some reviews I've read is the the 8's do have pretty good low-end already.
@Buddha, Thanks for the good info. I have foam to put on the walls and a rug to cover the wood floor. It's a rather small room tho. It's about 6.5 feet by 9 feet. It's this too small to even consider a sub in the first place?
Thanks again, guys!
Thanks for the info as well Jason. This is all very helpful!
It's a great deal! Just take them! They are the best in this price range. I'm with Rokit 5's btw
I don't think subs are that necessary, I don't have them. I think for stock audio and in your style of writing you really need them. I think the 8's will be enough bass for you. Maybe if you start writing hip hop club bangers or something.
I would go for a Adam monitor (Like the A7). I use Adams and love them. OR try the Dynaudio Acoustics BM 5A's. They are nice as well. You can always get the speakers and add the sub woofer later.
Tried both Dynaudio BM6A MK2 and AdamA7X… both great. I just got rid of Event's PS6. I only hear good things for the quality/price ratio on KRK, so, go for it.

Spurs Roll Over Warriors
San Antonio, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Chalk up another win for the Spurs and another loss for the Warriors in the Alamo City.
Tony Parker scored 18 points as one of six San Antonio players to score in double figures and the Spurs pounded Golden State, 111-90, Wednesday night.
The 19 straight wins for the Spurs is well short of last season's 27-game run for the Heat and the Lakers' record of 33 in a row during the 1971-72 campaign. The Spurs broke the franchise mark with their 18th consecutive win following a 103-77 rout over the reeling Indiana Pacers on Monday night.
San Antonio's latest victory came on the front part of a tough back-to-back set. The Spurs will play on the road at Oklahoma City on Thursday. The Thunder, led by Kevin Durant's 38 straight games of at least 25 points, sit four games behind the Western Conference-leading Spurs.
Tim Duncan registered 15 points and eight rebounds, and Patty Mills and Manu Ginobili each scored 13 for the Spurs. Marco Belinelli had 12 and Kawhi Leonard 11 for San Antonio, which clinched the Southwest Division title Wednesday night.
"We've come along," said Duncan. "We've always used these regular-season 82 games to turn our team into the kind of team we want it to be. We've done just that, added some pieces, but incorporated them really well and our system's working."
Marreese Speights scored 22 and had nine boards for the Warriors, who haven't won at San Antonio since Feb. 14 1997. Golden State has dropped 31 consecutive regular season road games against the Spurs.
San Antonio also swept the Warriors in four games this season. It marked the fifth whitewash in the last six campaigns in this series in favor of the Spurs.
Stephen Curry was limited to 11 points on 5-of-15 shooting. He also had 10 assists for the visitors.
"They're a great basketball team," said Warriors coach Mark Jackson. "(They're) the best team in basketball right now for a reason. ... I give them a lot of credit."
The Warriors, who are entrenched in the sixth spot in the Western Conference playoff race, fell behind early and never recovered. Duncan scored 12 on 6- of-7 shooting in the opening quarter, after which the Spurs held a 31-18 lead. Included in the period was a 14-2 run by the hosts. Leonard had consecutive steals, which led to San Antonio baskets the capped the burst for a 16-6 advantage.
Golden State got within nine a couple of times in the second, but the Spurs scored the final seven of the stanza to create a 57-42 spread at the half.
The visitors whittled the deficit to seven with 4 1/2 minutes remaining in the third, but San Antonio scored the final 13 points of the quarter for an 87-67 cushion moving to the fourth. The Spurs were comfortably ahead the rest of the game.
Game Notes
The NBA said Wednesday Curry's game-winning shot for Golden State in overtime Tuesday night against Dallas should have been a game-tying shot. The NBA said the play that led to Curry's step-back jumper with 0.1 seconds left -- Jermaine O'Neal's block on Monta Ellis -- was goaltending. Golden State won the game, 122-120 ... The Spurs are 59-17 all-time at home against the Warriors ... David Lee missed his fourth straight game with a strained hamstring and Andrew Bogut sat out his third consecutive tilt with a bruised groin/pelvis for the Warriors ... Jordan Crawford scored 16 and Klay Thompson had 15 for Golden State.

Just as Roquefort cheese is tied to the tiny village in southern France, the raw milk cheeses made by the Oolite Cheese Co. are uniquely Manti.
All but one of the Utah company's blue cheese is aged with oolite stone which is quarried from nearby canyons. Oolite is the same stone that was used to build the LDS Temple in Manti as well as many of the original homes in the area, including the home of Rachel and Joel Wilcox, Oolite Cheese owners.
The Wilcoxes moved with their five children to Manti from California in 2009; Rachel Wilcox grew up in the area and her husband spent summers in Manti as a child.
They opened their central Utah cheese shop last July.
When they were experimenting with cheese making Joel Wilcox loved cheese so much he wanted it instead of a birthday cake one year the couple would take their tub of cheese wheels to their basement and leave the lid open a crack. Within a week, the wheels were covered in white mold.
Now that they've built a new cheese shop next to their home, they place an oolite stone into the tub to get the mold.
The uniquely named blue cheeses Boys' Pants Rebellion, What's Her Name, Oolite White, Oolite Red and Oolite Yellow sell online, at www.oolitecheesecompany.com, for $24 and $27 a pound.
Liberty Heights Fresh, in Salt Lake City, started carrying the Oolite cheeses in February. Cheese tasting results the store has posted online praise the "provocative peppery notes" and "tangy and peppery flavor."
Wilcox says the Boys' Pants Rebellion is a strong blue cheese. Because it is hard, it's good to shave for salads. "It's got this really spicy, piquant flavor with a hint of blue. … It's not super popular with everyone because it is so strong. Those who love strong cheese really love it," she said.
The cheeses are made with sheep's milk, just like the Roquefort, the French blue cheese the couple loves and that inspired them to become cheesemakers.
While Sanpete county is known for raising sheep, the animals are used almost exclusively for meat, not milk.
But the Wilcoxes found sheep's milk at Peel Farms in neighboring Mt. Pleasant. The farm had just started milking the two breeds of sheep Lacaune and East Friesian that the Wilcox's desired.
The cheese is made from raw milk, meaning the milk isn't heated before it is used to make cheese. However, it is aged for at least 60 days to kill any pathogens, which is required by law.
Using raw milk "just tastes better," said Rachel Wilcox. "It's just got so much more character. You can tell if they've changed from alfalfa to grass."
Rockhill Creamery is another Utah company that makes cheese with raw milk. The Richmond farm uses milk from its herd of cows to make its eight types of cheeses.
Co-owner Jennifer Hines said when she first started making the cheeses, customers didn't register the raw milk part of it. But now, customers are much more knowledgeable.
"We have a lot of customers who will come up and they'll specifically ask if it's raw milk, and they'll be very excited and happy that it is."
Rockhill cheeses are sold at Liberty Heights Fresh and some Harmons and Whole Foods Markets.
Whole Foods Market sells their Wasatch Mountain Gruyere and Farmhouse Gouda. Andy Fitzgerell, a certified cheese professional at the Sugarhouse Whole Foods, said Rockhill's brown Swiss cows produce milk that makes "luxurious, rich, lush cheeses."
He said he's seeing more interest in raw milk cheeses because it is thought to be more nutritional though the Food and Drug Administration disagrees.
Eventually, the Wilcox family wants to raise their own sheep for farmstead cheese, and create a cafe where the menu would include lamb as well as beef and poultry from nearby farms.
"We want to tap into our area," she said.

HEALTH and social care workers are set to be retrained' so they can better understand the others' roles.
The move is part of a drive to increase the integration between Lancashire County Council and East Lancashire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).
Bosses have also promised care home improvement teams and better support for people who live independently.
This is expected to accelerate the progress on the Better Care Fund plans that have been introduced nationally by the government, as a way of encouraging local health and care organisations to work closer together.
Tim Mansfield, chief operating officer at East Lancashire CCG, said: "There has already been a lot of progress in integrating care, with some excellent examples of where joined-up working has made a real positive difference to patients.
"The Better Care Fund will enable us to accelerate the work we are doing to provide locally-based integrated services with better co-ordination and single point of contact for patients, their families and carers."

AMES, Iowa ― As dry conditions continue, cattle producers need to look at numerous management practices to help stretch their feed supply and maintain performance and reproduction in the cow herd. Iowa State University Extension beef program specialist Denise Schwab offers a few strategies that may help.
"First, develop a plan before the drought conditions get any worse," Schwab said. "How do you plan to provide emergency feed in the short-term, as well as winter feed in the longer term? This requires an inventory of feed currently available and an inventory of the cow herd. You can often purchase hay less expensively during the growing season than in the winter, and you also have the option now to incorporate silage into your winter feed supply."
Second, give your pasture some rest. Consider splitting your pasture into smaller paddocks and sacrificing one to use with supplemental feed, she said. Allowing the other paddocks to rest and regrow when rain occurs this fall will probably result in more fall forage available to the cow herd. Also, rotational grazing reduces selectivity in a cow's grazing habit, enhances forage utilization rate and can improve pasture carrying capacity by 10 to 30 percent.
"You also can consider weaning calves early. This will reduce the demand on the pasture forage by 25 to 35 percent and will reduce the nutritional demands of the cow by 30 to 40 percent," Schwab said. "Creep feeding calves can help reduce the demand on the pasture slightly and will help prepare the young calf for weaning."
Another strategy is to cull all free-loader cows immediately. This includes late-calving cows, open cows, and cows with feet, leg, eye or udder problems that should be sold immediately. Don't waste precious feed on cows that don't perform.
"Finally, get your winter feeds lined up soon," she said. "Whether you need to locate a custom chopper or bagger to chop your silage, or you need to lay out fence for grazing standing corn, it is much easier to do now than at the last minute."
More information on cow management strategies during a drought and on forage planning can be found on the Iowa Beef Center website at www.iowabeefcenter.org or by calling Schwab at 319-721-9624.
