Phillips began working with Elvis in early-1954 and put him in touch with Scotty Moore (Electric Guitar) and Bill Black (Acoustic Bass) to work on developing a repertoire and style of his own. On July 6, 1954, the trio was in the studio recording tunes for their first record when Elvis began banging out a raucous, impromptu rendition of Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup's "That's All Right (Mama)". Sam told the boys to "Run through it again and I'll put it on tape" and history was made. Phillips had found his "white man who had the negro feel" and rock and roll sprang forth from its roots in a frenetic blaze of youthful glory.
Ostensibly, Elvis recorded his first acetate as a gift for his mother, Gladys; however, it is more likely that he wanted to bring himself to the attention of Sam Phillips - as he ignored the cheaper amateur record-making service at a nearby general store. In January of 1954 he returned to Memphis/Sun to record a second acetate : "I'll Never Stand In Your Way" and "It Wouldn't Be the Same Without You". This time, Phillips himself took Elvis's $4.
On a Saturday afternoon in the summer of 1953, Elvis walked into the offices of The Memphis Recording Service (Sun Records) and paid receptionist Marion Keisker $4 to record an acetate disc of "My Happiness" and "That's When Your Heartaches Begin". Although frustrated when he wouldn't categorize himself or say who he sounded like ("I don't sound like nobody"), Marion was impressed enough to take down Elvis's contact information and save some of his recording on tape - noting : "Good ballad singer. Hold."
Elvis' time on Beale Street and the influence of musicians he admired began to overcome his native shyness. He began wearing flashy clothes and letting his hair grow. Although he was a member of his school's ROTC unit, the football coach cut him when he tried out for the team - apparently because he wouldn't trim his ducktail and sideburns. Then, in April of 1953, he set aside his shyness completely and competed in Humes's annual "Minstrel" show. "I wasn't popular in school ... I failed music - only thing I ever failed. And then they entered me in this talent show ... when I came onstage I heard people kind of rumbling and whispering and so forth, 'cause nobody knew I even sang. It was amazing how popular I became after that."
By 1949, the Presley's were living in a Memphis public housing complex called "The Courts" and Elvis was attending Humes High School. When he wasn't ushering at Loew's State Theater or working at Precision Tool or the school library or MARL Metal Products or driving a truck, he was continuing to learn the guitar and study music - soaking up influences, black and white, and accepting help whenever it was offered. Most of what he learned, he learned via ear - by way of jukeboxes, the radio, record store listening booths and live Beale Street shows.
Elvis' first public performance was in a singing contest at the Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show on October 3, 1945. The nervous ten-year-old, standing on a chair to reach the microphone, sang Red Foley's "Old Shep". Three months later, on his eleventh birthday, Elvis received a guitar which cost $12.95 at the Tupelo Hardware Store. He was disappointed because he'd been hoping to get a bicycle - or a rifle.
While Elvis' mom, Gladys, struggled to keep the impoverished family afloat, often relying on government assistance or the charity of neighbors; his dad, Vernon, drifted from one low-paying job to the next. When Elvis was three, his father was found guilty of altering a check and was jailed for eight months, causing the family to lose their home.
Elvis was born in a small, two-room "shotgun shack" in Tupelo, Mississippi at 4:35 AM on January 8, 1935. Jesse Garon Presley, his identical twin brother, was delivered 35 minutes earlier, stillborn - a fact which haunted Elvis until his dying day, causing him to believe that he had two souls within him, and two lives to live in a single lifetime.
Elvis Presley: Don't criticize what you don't understand, son. You never walked in that man's shoes.
Elvis Presley: Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.
Elvis Presley: Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.
Elvis Presley: The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death. I really didn't know what all the yelling was about. I didn't realize that my body was moving. It's a natural thing to me. So to the manager backstage I said 'What'd I do? What'd I do?' And he said 'Whatever it is, go back and do it again.'
Elvis Presley: (on performing onstage) It's like a surge of electricity going through you. It's almost like making love, but it's even stronger than that... Sometimes I think my heart is going to explode.
Elvis Presley: (on becoming famous) I just fell into it really. My daddy and I were laughing about it the other day. He looked at me and said, 'What happened E? The last thing I remember is I was working in a can factory and you were driving a truck.'
Elvis Presley: (on the differences of the 1960s music versus the 1950s) There's been a big change in the music field in the last 10 or 12 years. I think everything has improved--the sounds have improved, the musicians have improved, the engineers have definitely improved. I like a lot of the new groups, y'know, The Beatles and The Byrds and the... whoever, but I really like a lot of the new music, but a lot of it is basically rock 'n roll music, gospel, or rhythm and blues. People have been adding to it, adding instruments to it, experimenting with it.
Elvis Presley: Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do 'em all together, I guess.
Elvis Presley: I don't like being called 'Elvis The Pelvis.' That's gotta be one of the most childish expressions I've ever heard coming from an adult.
Elvis Presley: My daddy had seen a lot of people who played guitars and stuff and didn't work, so he said, 'You should make up your mind either way about being an electrician or playing a guitar, and I never saw a guitar player that was worth a damn.'
Elvis Presley: A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It's my favorite part of the business--live concerts.
Elvis Presley: I've never gotten over what they call stage-fright. I go through it every show. I'm pretty concerned, I'm pretty much thinking about the show. I never get completely comfortable with it, and I don't let the people around me get comfortable with it, in that I remind them that it's a new crowd out there, it's a new audience, and they haven't seen us before. So it's got to be like the first time we go on.
Elvis Presley: I want to entertain people. That's my whole life. To my last breath.
Elvis Presley: I wiggle my shoulders, I shake my legs, I walk up and down the stage, I hop around on one foot. But I never bump and grind. Why, that's vulgar. I'd never do anything vulgar before an audience. My mother would never allow it.
Elvis Presley: Take care of the fans and they will sure as hell take care of you.
Elvis Presley: People who read sex into my music have dirty minds.
Elvis Presley: When you let your head get too big, it'll break your neck.
Elvis Presley: I don't sound like nobody.

Newcastle are still to make their first signing of the summer and the players will be returning for pre-season training in the middle of the coming week.
Rafa Benitez will be trying to get in as many players as possible and as soon as possible once pre-season starts, because he wants them to have a full pre-season and our first league game is fairly early – at Fulham five weeks come Friday.
Rafa Benitez – four signings lined up?
Rafa did raise the hopes of Newcastle fans when he has this to say about the pending Newcastle transfers last Thursday:
"We have three or four things ready." "It's just that we have to start with the first one, and then we have two or three that I think we can do in one week.
"For our fans – we are working very hard. It's not easy because the market prices are so high but we are fine."
"If we can do our business, we have three or four things ready, and when I say ready it's really, really nearly there."
"But we are waiting for someone that is working in another club and then he need to come back and sign the document."
The news on Friday in the local papers was that our first signing was imminent, but we haven't managed to complete a deal yet.
It's an interesting time for Newcastle fans as we wait to see what kind of quality Rafa Benitez can attract to what is – at least for one season – a second division Newcastle club.
Our squad is already quite strong, if we can only keep our best players this summer.
The way Newcastle played those last six games of last season when we do 12 points and were unbeaten, showed we were a good team in the Premier League at the end of the season.
Comments welcome.

Overview Edit
U.S. Department of Defense Edit
An Enterprise First approach is a cultural shift to transform the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) from a coalition of Departments and Agencies with their mission‐specific sets of systems, processes, governance, and controls to a more seamless, coordinated, unified, and integrated data-centric enterprise information environment.
The Department's efforts in general will be directed to reduce reliance on non‐shareable, dedicated infrastructures. Components will be incentivized to rely on shared, virtualized infrastructure through a utility or cloud computing delivery model. Legacy IT systems will be migrated to a shared computing capability wherever practical.
Adopting an Enterprise First approach will reduce the acquisition and maintenance of dedicated, program‐specific resources. The desired outcome is the transformation of the Department to an Enterprise Cloud Environment with common standards, consolidated cybersecurity, continuity of operations, IA, resilience, and centralized governance.

Nicolas Sarkozy Carla Bruni Engaged 2007
February 4, 2012 by staff
Nicolas Sarkozy Carla Bruni Engaged 2007, French president Nicolas Sarkozy has married ex-supermodel Carla Bruni in a "secret" ceremony at the Elysée Palace in Paris.
The wedding took place just two and a half months after they met, and three and a half months after he divorced his second wife.
They were married at 11am with François Lebel, mayor of Paris's fashionable 8th arrondissement – in which the palace is situated – officiating.
Mr Sarkozy, 53, and Miss Bruni, 40, exchanged vows in a state room on the first floor of the presidential palace after a highly-publicised whirlwind romance.
Mr Lebel said: "I married two voters from the 8th arrondissement, who live at 55 rue du Faubourg St Honoré," referring to the address of the palace, which is next door to the British Embassy.
"Historically, this is the first time in the history of the Republic that a president has married in the course of his term. It's the first time a president has married at the Elysée," he said.
"Carla married in white and looked ravishing," Mr Lebel added.
Now the controversial model, whose past loves include Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton, will be France's First Lady.
Suggesting that the wedding was a last minute, spontaneous affair, Mr Sarkozy announced the cancellation of a visit to the military base at Creil, north of Paris, due for Saturday afternoon.
One of the reasons for the sudden marriage was apparently next month's planned state visit to Britain, with Mr Sarkozy concerned about being a guest of the Queen at Windsor Castle with only a "live-in lover" to accompany him.
Witnesses were Prada executive Mathilde Agostinelli – a close friend of the previous Madame Sarkozy – and Nicolas Bazire, managing director of Groupe Arnault and one of the richest men in France.
Also present was pop music guru Julien Civange and Farida Kelfa, a friend of Miss Bruni's who works for Jean-Paul Gaultier.
Bernadette Chirac, the last First Lady of France before the retirement of her husband Jacques Chirac last year, said: "It's great news. I send my very best wishes."
Mrs Chirac added that "having a companion was useful for anyone, including a president of the Republic", because she could be used "as a punch bag".
"Speedy Sarko", as the president is nicknamed, said last month: "There are strong chances that you will hear about it the wedding when it has already happened."
Mr Sarkozy's third marriage comes just three months after his divorce from Cécilia Ciganer-Albaniz, a former model and PR executive.
Three books have since been released on his former wife of 11 years, in which she paints her ex-husband in a highly unflattering light.
In one, she describes him as a "stingy philander" who loves "no-one, not even his own children".
In late November, Mr Sarkozy met Miss Bruni at a Paris dinner party, where she sang a song for him. They have been inseparable ever since.
The pair appeared before photographers at Disneyland Paris three weeks later, and have since been on sunshine breaks to Egypt and Jordan, where they were pictured gallivanting on beaches in their swimsuits.
Miss Bruni, now a successful singer who recently admitted to finding monogamy "boring", already has a room in the Elysée for herself where she can compose songs for her new album.
She has been seen sporting two large heart-shaped diamond rings bought by Mr Sarkozy as engagement gifts. One was almost identical to a ring he had bought for his former wife.
Marisa Tedeschi Bruni, Miss Bruni's mother, confirmed that the president had asked for her daughter's hand saying: "I said to him, 'Monsieur le Président, I have no reason to refuse.'"
She said: "Carla is living an authentic love story. I think that they make a good couple."
Mr Sarkozy's fast-track romance and trips in private jets to exotic locations with his new love have, according to several polls, been viewed with anger at a time of economic turmoil in France.
He has two grown up sons, Pierre and Jean, from a first marriage, and Louis, a 10-year-old son from his marriage to Cécilia.
The new Madame Sarkozy has a seven year old son, Aurélien, from a previous relationship.

GiveMeTap aims to both break the taboo around asking for free drinking water in this country, whilst simultaneously providing clean hydration for people in Africa. We caught up with team member Sanum Jain…
London Calling: What inspired you to set up GiveMeTap?
Sanum Jain: Edwin, The Water Guy, founded GiveMeTap while he was writing his PhD at Manchester University. He started exercising a lot and realized he was drinking a lot more water. As a student, he found it really expensive to buy bottled water on the go and noticed a huge stigma attached to asking for tap water in cafes. He set up GiveMeTap in order to eliminate these problems.
LC: How would you explain the concept to someone on the Tube?
SJ: It's a really simple concept! Almost every tube commuter has experienced the stuffy, uncomfortable conditions of hot rush hour. Buying water to keep hydrated can be really expensive and also wasteful. We've set up a network of over 100 cafés/eateries (we call them Taps) in London where you can refill your GiveMeTap bottle on the go, without the obligation of buying anything. No questions. No hassle. We're growing our network of cafes extensively through our new campaign, MindTheTap, so that you are never more than 4 minutes away from free water once you get of the tube.
LC: The project also provides clean drinking water for Ghanaians. How exactly does this work?
SJ: Water accessibility is such a huge problem for many impoverished countries, especially in remote villages. That's why for every GiveMeTap bottle purchased; we are able to provide one person in Africa access to clean, safe drinking water. Our latest project allowed us to build a water pump servicing a village of around 850 people in the Upper West Region of Ghana. We've managed to fund a handful of other projects too in different areas such as Namibia and Malawi. It's brilliant to see these pumps get installed. It keeps me motivated everyday and reminds me why we do what we do.
LC: What do you think it can do for Londoners?
SJ: Hopefully, Londoners with a GiveMeTap bottle can reduce their plastic waste consumption and also save a lot of money. You can think about it in terms of a £1 bottle of water. The GiveMeTap bottle is only £12/13 and you can refill that hundreds of times, so you do make up your money fast! I'm hoping it will also change people's attitude towards water. Tap water quality is great in this country and we should make use of this fact.
LC: Will the project still take place during the winter months?
SJ: OF COURSE! Staying hydrated isn't only a summer issue. It is important no matter what the weather. We've been targeting Zone 1 tube stations during the summer but over time, we're looking to expand further out. The tubes are always stuffy and temperatures can be really high underground even in the winter.
LC: Where next – will you look to expand to the rest of the UK? Or even globally?
We're one step ahead of you! GiveMeTap started in Manchester, so our café network there is almost as big as London's. We've even tapped up Lancaster, Bristol, Bath and even Colorado, USA. We're always open to demand as well. People can suggest a tap via our website and we then set out to get that café/restaurant on board. It's been such an exciting year as we've managed to expand far and wide, growing bigger and helping the world stay hydrated one bottle at a time.
Find out more about GiveMeTap, and get yourself a bottle here.

Buy a GiveMeTap metal water bottle, download the app, and a person in Africa gains access to clean drinking water. Google for Entrepreneurs has played a key role in GiveMeTap's success from the beginning. It offered Founder Edwin Broni-Mensah a space to build a tight-knit team as well as an opportunity to be mentored by Google.
The Lovie Awards would like to honour Edwin Broni-Mensah with The Lovie Emerging Entrepreneur Award for starting the incredible social enterprise GiveMeTap right from his dorm room at university, and for using the Web to help people get access to clean water.
A social enterprise with big ambitions to create a world where drinking water is free to all, is appearing in the Bullring this week.

After signing with the Twins, Sojo began his professional career in the Venezuelan Summer League in 2002. He battled through an awful season, as he posted a batting average of .195. In 28 contests, the young outfielder managed only 15 hits, and struck out 28 times.
He would go on to spend the next summer in the Venezuelan Summer League again, only this time he fared even worse. He batted only .193, while playing in 42 contests. After showing signs of power before being signed, Sojo went through his second season without a home run, and struck out 40 times. He did however show off his wheels, as he stole 10 bags.
He made the switch to the Dominican Summer League in2004, and saw much better results. He posted a .294 batting average, and smacked five home runs. He also stole 14 bases, drove in 20 runs, although he continued to struggle with the strikeouts. Still, it was the season the Twins had been waiting for, and he made his short-season debut in 2005.
Now 20-years old, Sojo tore up the Gulf Coast League in 2005. He finished seventh in the league in batting average, with a .318 mark, and was the main bat in the Twins' lineup for most of the season. He also led the team in at-bats (148), runs (36), hits (47), doubles (11), and triples (5).
Organizationally, Sojo led the entire system in batting average, amongst all those players who qualified. And while most team executives have realized he does not have the pop that Hunter has, he is beginning to progress as an all-around player, and could move up the ladder in 2006.
Batting and Power.While he has not lived up to the power hype, Sojo appears to be becoming an all-around hitter. His batting average was a career-high in 2005, and his .318 mark was tops in the organization. One thing he needs to work on his cutting down on the strikeouts, as he has struck out 143 times in 164 career games. However, 2005 was his best strikeout/game ratio, and he seems to be growing up as a hitter. One teammate, who wished to be anonymous, told TwinCitiesDugout.com that he swings from the heels, which is mostly why he strikes out too much.
Base running and Speed.Sojo can fly, and that is the one attribute that draws him most of his comparisons to Torii Hunter. He is a smart base runner, who most scouts say is "downright deadly" on the base paths. In 2005, Sojo stole 10+ bases for the third straight season, and showed speed you do not usually see from a number five hitter. He was caught stealing seven times, but with a runner with his speed, you have to take the good with the bad. He also committed only three errors all season, as he used his speed to track down fly balls that seemed to be doubles.
Defense.Sojo is extremely solid in the outfield, and this year made the transition to right field. As alluded to before, he committed only three errors all season long, and used his strong right arm to pick up six assists. He has all the ability to play centerfield, but seemingly made a natural switch to right, and should continue to play there throughout his career. In 2004 he committed 11 errors, and most scouts agreed he would be more suited as a corner outfielder. It seems they were right.
ETA. 2009. Although he is still young, Sojo needs to start making a serious push in 2006. The 2005 campaign was a great one for him, but it is yet to be seen if he can do it at the full-season level. There was a lot of hype surrounding him when he was first signed, and while most of it has died down, there is still a lot of potential in him. Most scouts believe he could be a good fourth outfielder at the Major League level someday, and if can become a more complete player, he will be just that. Allen Simpson of Baseball America said he has outstanding tools, and he is finally growing into those tools. Look for him to begin the season with Beloit of the Midwest League, and possibly end up in Fort Myers by the end of the season.

I decided to look for an alternative to weather tech shades which I've owned for other cars. I like the fold flat storage vs the roll up of the weather tech. Fit is nearly perfect with the exception of a couple of gaps around the sensors. It's expected since it's stiff vs flimsy and you can't really fold or tuck like shades meant to bend. This shade also comes with a case.

Soil & Water: Zinnias grow readily in ordinary garden soil in full sun. For large and abundant flowers, thin before seedlings get crowded; adequate spacing and regular, even watering helps keep zinnias productive and discourages mildew. Pick when flower blossoms first open and petals are tight for longest vase life. Cut long stems well back into the plant to keep plants branching low and producing best blooms.
Planting & Growing:To Start Directly in the Garden: Sow seeds in a well-worked seedbed in full sun when the danger of frost has passed and weather is above 50°F both day and night. Space seeds 2-3", cover about 1/2" and gently firm soil. Keep evenly moist while awaiting germination. Thin seedlings to 8 - 10" apart when large enough to handle. To Start Early Indoors: Four weeks before the last frost date, sow seeds 1/2" deep and 2-3" apart in containers of seed starting mix. Keep warm and moist and provide a strong light source. Feed with half-strength fertilizer every 2 weeks. Just as soon as seedlings have several sets of true leaves, and weather is above 50°F both day and night, transplant outdoors about 8 - 10" apart.

History offers examples of ideas that often come to fruition. One occurred for an ambulance driver in World War I. Lewis Richardson did numerical weather experiments; cataloging sky conditions, integrating numerical calculations into his journal. As noted in a previous column, his calculations by hand didn't produce a useful forecast but was the beginning of modern weather predictions. He wrote a manuscript that was lost but eventually discovered in a coal bin and later published. Upon his death, the book was given to the National Weather Service, where it is on display in its Executive Suite. He envisioned a "large hall-like theater" filled with human computers, calculating for a particular point on the Earth. Today, the NWS uses massive parallel computers executing those same calculations.

ABOUT THE GATORS: Talking about this game, Stansbury called Florida the "biggest surprise" team in the country. But really how much of a surprise should it be? It isn't as if Billy Donovan has not overcome graduations and early defections of star players before, and put another sharp squad on the court with new or matured talent filling the voids. If there's any surprise it is how quickly the Gators have made up for the losses of guards Matt Walsh and Anthony Roberson and forward David Lee, who combined for 45 points per game on a 24-8 team that ended the year ranked 16th (AP) and went 12-4 in league play. A look at UF's stats show how this team is getting it done: with remarkable balance. All five starters are scoring in a 13.4 to 11.9 point range, leaving defenses with no one body to focus on. And once he put a new lineup together Donovan has stuck with it, starting the same group all 14 games with four more men in reserve-rotation. Those four get double-digit minutes off the bench, too, so nobody is leg-heavy in the late going. Even a balanced ball club must have a leader and soph Corey Brewer has accepted the role. An inch taller and pounds lighter than his Arkansas namesake, this Brewer might be having an even better year on a better team with 13.4 points, six boards, 70 assists and 32 steals. Not bad for a guy who barely throws a shadow from the wing position. Fellow soph Taurean Green has blossomed at the point with his own 70 assists while popping the three-ball and getting to the foul line where he's nearly automatic. With those two spreading the court out soph Lee Humphrey finds plenty of openings to take, and make, long shots. He's put in 49 treys already, hitting 55% from the arc. Of course nobody is surprised that a Donovan team thrives on perimeter shooting and ball-movement. It's the contributions of matured post players that balances the playbook and makes the Gators a serious championship contender. Center Al Horford has more than doubled his freshman year scoring, from 5.6 to 12.4 points this year, and improved his rebounding to 8th in the latest SEC standings. But it is forward Joakim Noah, the fourth soph starter, who really causes matchup issues. The 6-11 Noah spends more time in the high post where he can shoot or blow by defending postmen with a lizard-quick first step. He's also got 27 blocks, for the record. For that matter Florida's defense is under-appreciated. This might be the best-shooting and highest-scoring squad in the league, but they allow barely 61 points a game and rank near the top of the SEC in both steals and turnover margin. Weaknesses? Well, if you can find any, that might be a surprise.

THE SERIES: The Bulldogs and Gators are both 1932 charter SEC members but did not meet on the hardwood until 1936. The series became annual, or for many decades twice-annual, until 1947. For most of this time State had a lead but in the 1980s Florida took control, and the score now stands in UF's favor 54-45. The Gators lead 34-12 in Gainesville but State snapped a three-trip streak by upsetting Florida in 2004 in the O'Connell Center. Billy Donovan is 7-4 against State, with a split in two SEC Tournament meetings. Rick Stansbury is 4-5 against Florida.
BULLDOG NOTES: Junior PF Piotr Stelmach is the only current Bulldog who has played at the O'Connell Center. He played one minute in a 79-68 State win in January 2004.
*With senior PG Jamall Edmondson again doubtful, State will likely start the same unit as the past two games with freshman Richard Delk at the point. It is the fifth starting lineup used this season, and only one group has opened as many as four-straight games. They were also the first four games of the season. SF Jamont Gordon and C Wesley Morgan are the only Dogs who have started all 13 games.
*Gordon has scored in double-digits his last three games and 11 times in his freshman season. His 13.4 average ranks second to LSU's Tyrus Thomas (13.8) among league rookies and twice he has been picked league Freshman of the Week. Among SEC freshman Gordon ranks fourth in rebounding, second in assists, and seventh in steals. Backcourt partner Reginald Delk is 8th in freshman scoring and 6th in three-point shooting.
*Halfway into this season Gordon's play is forcing some research of MSU records. The last Bulldog perimeter player to average double-digit points his first season was Jeff Malone in 1979-80 at 11.9 points. The record for freshman guard scoring was set by Ray White in 1975-76 at 18.3 points. And the record for all freshman scoring was the 19.3 by center Rickey Brown in 1976-77.
*Likely jinxed by this writer's notes, Rhodes had his first sub-.500 game at the free-throw line his last time out making 4 of 9 attempts and dropping his season average to 77.8%. Before that game Rhodes was 36-of-42, almost 86%. Before Arkansas, he had only one game with as many as two foul-shot misses, against Liberty.
*While Rhodes still leads in accuracy at the stripe, Gordon draws more fouls and thus is averaging the most attempts (5.6) and makes (3.9) per game.
*Senior center Wesley Morgan has 21 blocked shots in 14 games. That might not impress many SEC foes, but it's a great early pace by recent MSU standards. In five of the last six years State's leading swatter had notched between 20 and 32 blocks; Branden Vincent was the exception with 40 in 2004-05. Whole MSU teams lately have failed to match the record 109 blocks by Erick Dampier in 1996.
*With such a young team and new lineup, career stats are modest at most for this squad. Edmondson is the lone veteran with more than 300 points (311), while junior Slater has the next-most points on the roster at 235. Not surprisingly State players, following the decade-long trend, are better on the boards. Morgan (181), Slater (119), Rhodes (109), and Stelmach (102) are all into triple digits now.
*The Bulldogs might not be great at the arc but they are consistent. They went into the GMU game averaging 33.3% in the previous three games; against George Mason they hit 6-of-18, then against Arkansas it was 5-of-15. That is still better than their overall season rate of 31.5%. State did set a school record by sticking 14 treys in the Santa Clara game.
*After relying extensively, and at times exclusively, on zone defenses in the first ten games due to depth issues, State has been able to play more man-to-man in recent outings. Either way the Bulldogs have put up (or from the opponents' viewpoint, put down) good defensive numbers. They still rank first in SEC shooting defense and have held the last two opponents to 61 and 67 points.
*State also stands second in SEC rebounding, both boards-per-game and margin. Good, but not what the program is used to after leading the league in rebounding for an unprecedented five-straight seasons. The Dogs will have to really hit the boards to six-peat, though, as LSU is beating folks on the boards by double-digit margins.

Los Alamos' top girls singles tennis player Sidra Hsieh-Ratliff picked up three wins in the Sun City to finish sixth in her flight last weekend.
Los Alamos took part in the El Paso (Texas) Chapin tournament. It was the second trip of the young season for Los Alamos to El Paso.
The Hilltoppers entered a pair of singles players and three doubles teams to Chapin's tournament. All the Hilltopper entries won three matches in El Paso.
Hsieh-Ratliff, a freshman, went 3-2 in El Paso. She knocked off three players from Texas, two of them in straight sets, but lost to a pair of New Mexico players, Lindsay Harlas of Las Cruces Mayfield and Carrie Alberson of Las Cruces Centennial, to take sixth in the 32-player draw.
She knocked off Vivrana Lews of El Paso Burgess 6-2, 6-0, Genny Hay of Fort Hancock, Texas, 6-0, 6-3.
But Hsieh-Ratliff had to come back from a set down in her fourth match of the two-day tournament. She lost the opening set to Isabella Rivera of El Paso Hanks, 5-7, before rebounding to win the last two sets, 6-1, 6-1.
Hilltopper Ariel Koh, who was also entered in the singles draw, also won three of five matches at El Paso. Koh lost two of her first three matches, but swept El Paso Austin's Jennett Mavens and Santa Teresa's Leticia Hernandez, giving up a total of just six games in those four sets, to finish 32nd overall.

Wypijewski's piece shows just how much analytical power the Left has lost, by abandoning
historical materialism in favor of smug rhetorical tricks
"The law" (Wypijewski smirks) "is no more capable of delivering justice in <Assange's> case today than it was for a black man alleged to have raped a white woman in the Jim Crow South." She adds: "I am not comparing the founder of WikiLeaks .. with black men on the other side of a lynch mob." But she does make exactly that comparison, at the same time she denies it: "The Scottsboro Boys might have been innocent or they might have been guilty; it didnt matter, because either way the result would be the same." This dishonest gambit is called apophasis -- and it never adds anything of value to a discussion
The Scottsboro defendants were nine black hobos, riding a freight through Alabama in the early spring of 1931. The youngest was twelve and none was as old as twenty. They were accused of rape and, going to trial within two weeks, all but the youngest was sentenced to death almost immediately by the jury
They were, in fact, lucky not to have been lynched soon after they disembarked the train, having been protected first by the sheriff and later by the National Guard. From 1921 to 1930, there were at least 275 lynchings in the US -- and 90% of the victims were black. It is sometimes tempting to gloss that long ugly thread of Americana, simply as the unkind treatment of a minority group by the majority -- but an examination of the class interests involved shows something else: Jim Crow was an economic system. Antebellum slavery had provided easily-identifiable underclass to exploit and had mystified the exploitation with an elaborate racial ideology. Jim Crow later retained both the underclass and the mythologies used to justify its exploitation, although legal slavery itself was replaced by other forms, such as share-cropping, debt-bondage, and prisoner chain-gang labor. Like slavery before it, Jim Crow depended on violence and unequal protection of the laws. The lynching of black Americans, always without consequence for the perpetrators, was not simply a matter of white people being unpleasant to blacks: it served a distinct purpose in the economic structure, conveying a message to the underclass that their lives simply did not count and that resistance could lead only to pain and death. The violence of the Jim Crow lynchings was a result of carefully-crafted hatred, but it was not merely a result of hatred: it was also an explosive result of the psychological tensions and contradictions required to maintain the irrational ideological views associated with the entire system of oppression
Comparisons with the Assange affair are ridiculous and become more distasteful each time Wypijewski makes such a comparison while simultaneously disavowing the comparison. If Assange's case had resembled in any way the experience of the Scottsboro Nine, he would already have been sentenced to death twice by now

Our guide to Pride
Published 2:18 pm, Wednesday, June 25, 2014
This may be George Ridgely's first year as the executive director of S.F. Pride, but he's no stranger to the weekend-long celebration culminating with Sunday's parade. That's one of the key reasons that Kimberly Chun asked his advice for this week's cover story.
"I think a lot of people may not know that it's a two-day celebration, Saturday and Sunday at Civic Center," Ridgely says. "They think it's a one-day event: They watch the parade and go over to the celebration. Not all of the stages are up by Saturday but a lot of them are. If you're in town and visiting, it's a nice way to get the lay of the land and see where the stages are."
Chun offers plenty of tips for both newbies and Pride veterans - where to go, what to see, how to get as much as you can out of the next four days. As for Ridgely, he says taking in the whole experience is what makes for a memorable weekend.
"My nieces and nephews came out on Pride week six years ago and participated with me in the whole experience, from going to Frameline movies to going to Pink Saturday to watching the parade, and it's really fun to see the event through their eyes," he says.
Next week: Fourth of July


text: Sneezing, or sternutation, is the act of forcibly expelling air and small droplets of water through the nose and mouth following irritation of the skin lining the nose. The reflex to sneeze can be caused by many stimuli including looking into bright light (photic sneeze reflex) or sniffing pepper. It is a common symptom of many diseases that affect the upper respiratory tract, such as allergies, the common cold, and influenza. The latter two take advantage of sneezing to spread the disease.

"Good budget IEM"
- 4.0/5,
Pros - Jack of all trades
Cons - Master of none
I bought these a few weeks ago, and like the other reviewer mentioned, they don't do anything too special. They are fairly detailed for an IEM at this level, and provide globs of bass. The inline iphone remote is especially nice. There is quite of bit of microphonics.
I will be keeping these as IEMs to use at the gym.
"Briefly owned and not worth the cost"
- 4.0/5,
Pros - Very very handsome
Cons - I suspect they're dressed up cheaper models
I listened to these very carefully, and although I almost fell in love with them and their very businesslike appearance, I did feel like an idiot for wearing something that's all about its looks. Swapping between these and similarly priced earphones I found that while they're inoffensive, they were doing nothing out of the ordinary besides looking like a million bucks, and their writeup on Senn's site and the packaging seemed to back this up.
As I'm writing this I kind of wish I still had them, but at least they sold for their cost on eBay.
