Lady Cards 'quit' in loss
LITTLE ROCK - With the first half of the conference season nearing its end, the Harmony Grove Lady Cardinals are having trouble getting into the win column since coming back from Christmas break. Before taking a small sabbatical, the Lady Cardinals had won back-to-back 5-3A conference games to even their record at 2-2 in league play.
Since rolling over into the New Year, Harmony Grove is a disappointing 0-2 after falling to the eStem Lady Mets in the first-ever meeting between the schools on Tuesday night in Little Rock. Despite starting the game very strong, the Lady Cardinals fell hard 56-25 after a not so healthy second half.
"We came out with good energy," Head Coach John White said. "Then we started pressing and just trying too hard. In the second half, I think we kind of quit, to be honest."
Harmony Grove wasted little time getting out in front to begin the contest, taking a 4-0 lead early after seniors Lexa Carpenter and Molly White hit short buckets inside. But then eStem began to battle, put pressure on and score points, quickly cutting the Lady Cardinals' lead to 4-3 with a successful long ball.
With points hard to come by, the Lady Cardinals found themselves down by just one at 7-6 at the end of the first. The second was nearly a repeat of the first for both teams. With neither one able to pull out to a comfortable lead, eStem knocked down a couple more shots than Harmony Grove in the second quarter to take a 19-12 lead into halftime.
"They forced us into doing some things that we are not used to doing (in the first half)," White said. "We got plenty of good looks early, but couldn't get any of them to fall and couldn't capitalize."
After playing a pretty good first half, the second was anything but exciting for Harmony Grove. Trailing by just five at the break, the Lady Cardinals hit a brick wall as eStem came out and took care of business, shutting down Harmony Grove.
With a good third quarter, eStem took a commanding 37-21 lead into the final quarter of the game. Harmony Grove missed 8 of its 10 shots from the field to start the third quarter. Carpenter and senior Laura Britt added a bucket each in the third while the rest of the Lady Cardinals' nine points came from the foul line.
Needing a huge surge in the final eight minutes, the Lady Cardinals had no such luck as they put just four points on the board in the fourth quarter while allowing 19 more to eStem, resulting in a second straight blowout loss.
Carpenter put together a nice night, leading Harmony Grove with 11 points. Britt and sophomore Sarah Jackson each added four in the loss.
Harmony Grove shot just 20 percent from the field, hitting 7 of 35 shots including a 0 for 8 showing from 3-point land. After turning the ball over 28 times against Jessieville on Friday, the Lady Cardinals coughed up the rock 22 times on Tuesday. The Lady Mets shot 42 percent while turning the ball over just 10 times against Harmony Grove.
The Lady Cardinals will welcome Glen Rose into the Daniel Henley Fieldhouse on Friday in a much anticipated rivalry match on Friday night, a team Harmony Grove lost to by just one earlier in the year in tournament play.
"I would feel a lot better going into Friday if we had won tonight," White said. "We feel like we can match up with Glen Rose and we obviously know that we can play with them. We just hope we play well and get after it and give ourselves a chance to win."
With the loss on Tuesday, the Lady Cardinals move their record to 7-8 overall and 2-4 in conference play.
Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. on Friday.

From today's Washington Post, "Lautenberg bill seeks to overhaul U.S. chemical laws":
After a year of working with environmental groups, government regulators and the chemical industry, a leading advocate for chemical regulation has devised a plan to remake the nation's chemical laws — a 34-year-old set of regulations that all players agree is outmoded and ineffective.
The plan, contained in legislation that Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) is set to file Thursday, would require manufacturers to prove the safety of chemicals before they enter the marketplace. That would be a significant departure from current laws, which allow chemicals to be used unless the federal government can prove they cause harm to health or the environment.
Sounds like the full-blown introduction of the regulatory philosophy embodied in the precautionary principle, i.e., the requirement that you prove a negative — no harm — before any new product can enter the market.
It's a philosophy that leads to a stagnant marketplace, unnecessary costs, and more litigation. If the principle takes hold in regulation, the dynamic United States will become even more like Europe. As a wise man has written:
Over the coming decades, the increasingly popular "precautionary principle" is likely to have a significant impact on policies all over the world. Applying this principle could lead to dramatic changes in decision making. Possible applications include climate change, genetically modified food, nuclear power, homeland security, new drug therapies, and even war.
We argue that the precautionary principle does not help individuals or nations make difficult choices in a non-arbitrary way. Taken seriously, it can be paralyzing, providing no direction at all. In contrast, balancing costs against benefits can offer the foundation of a principled approach for making difficult decisions.
That's Cass Sunstein, the abstract to his book, "The Precautionary Principle as a Basis for Decision Making." Sunstein now holds the top regulatory review post in the Obama Administration, administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
Sunstein has written the single best newspaper column explaining why the precautionary principle is a bad idea. "Throwing precaution to the wind" appeared in the July 13, 2008, Boston Globe.

MDA Muscle Walk raises more than $36,000 to support area research and services
More than $36,000 gross was raised at the annual Southeast Texas MDA Muscle Walk, held at the Montagne Event Center on Saturday, March 2 and presented by the Medical Center of Southeast Texas. Over 350 participants comprised of MDA families, local businesses, and community organizations were there to flex their fundraising muscles. Teams have been fundraising for several months now and March 2 was a celebration of all their hard work.
"We want to thank the community and the Montagne Event Center for their generosity in supporting MDA's Muscle Walk," said Anna Papoutsis, Executive Director. "It's great to see our MDA families, area businesses and the public come together to make this event such a success.
The money raised in Muscle Walk donations will help speed MDA research seeking treatments and cures for muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases. Also, it will help MDA provide a free summer camp experience to area children with muscle disease, as well as medical and health care services at MDA's clinics at Texas Children's Hospital and the Methodist Neurological Clinic.
Top raising teams were – J. Mark Smith & Associates, Kappa Alpha Order, PNG-HOSA, ATG Custom Health Care and the Brock Group – each raising over $1,000.
Entertainment at the event included performances by the PNG Indian Singers; music by DJ Catalina Music and Sound; antics from local mascots – Geico Gecko, Chick-fil-A Cow, Chuck-E-Cheese Mascot, Sonic Cup Mascot, Big Ned from the Nederland High School, Westbrook High School Cheerleaders, and Texas Roadhouse's Andy the Armadillo. Best Buy was also on hand demonstrating the X-Box Kinect with participants. Exygon provided Zumba instructors to help warm-up walkers before the walk. There were also poster making stations, face painters, cotton candy, and more.
Also, the event wouldn't have been possible without sponsors – The Medical Center of Southeast Texas, Conn's, Citgo, Kaplan College, Triangle Blueprint, ServPro of Orange/Nederland/Lumberton, KFDM and Clear Channel."
MDA is the nonprofit health agency dedicated to curing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases by funding worldwide research. The association also provides comprehensive health care and support services, advocacy and education.

Maggie Lucas scored 26 of her career- high 39 points in the first half, powering 10th-ranked Penn State to a big early lead and a 97-74 rout of Georgetown.
Lucas finished 11-of-21 from the field and her 39 points marked the most ever -- men's or women's -- at the Bryce Jordan Center. Alex Bentley added 23 points for the Lady Lions (7-2), who bounced back from Thursday's 67-52 loss at Connecticut with their second win in three games.
Sugar Rodgers scored 24 points for Georgetown (7-3), which had a three-game win streak halted.
Rodgers drilled a three for the game's first points and Georgetown held a 9-8 lead just under three minutes into the contest. Lucas followed with the next seven points in Penn State's 10-0 run and the Lady Lions never trailed again.
Lucas hit 5-of-10 from beyond the arc in the first half and the Lady Lions connected on 51.4 percent overall in the opening 20 minutes while holding Georgetown to just 26.5 percent from the field.
Penn State built a 53-25 cushion at the break and led by as many as 35 in the second half.

Arthritis is a painful and debilitating disease and is so prevalent that according to the Arthritis Foundation, 22 percent of adults in the United States report having doctor-diagnosed arthritis. Research shows* it can be so painful that it causes many to leave the workforce early. The good news is that our rehabilitation programs can help those diagnosed with arthritis, manage the pain and other debilitating side effects to lead healthy, active lifestyles.
* Springer (2008, February 7). Rheumatoid Arthritis Sends Many Into Early Retirement. Science Daily.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting approximately 27 million Americans. It is described as the breakdown and loss of a joint's cartilage. Cartilage covers the ends of the bones in the joint. When cartilage breaks down, the bones rub against each other and become rough and may even over-grow (developing bone spurs) resulting in joint pain, aching stiffness and swelling. The Arthritis Foundation says OA typically affects only certain joints, such as the hips, hands, knees, lower back and neck.Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is the most serious form affecting approximately 1.3 million Americans. According to the Arthritis Foundation, the onset of RA is usually middle age, but it often occurs in the 20s and 30s. It is described as an inflammation of the lining of the joints and can lead to long-term joint damage, chronic pain, loss of function and disability.Juvenile Arthritis (JA) is any form of arthritis, or arthritis-related condition that develops in teenagers or children under the age of 18. Common symptoms of JA include the usual -- pain, swelling, tenderness and stiffness of joints, causing limited range of motion.Gout and Fibromyalgia are other common rheumatic conditions associated with arthritis. An estimated 3.0 million adults have gout (uric acid build up in joints), and another 5.0 million suffer from fibromyalgia (tender points in joints, muscles, tendons and soft tissues).SOURCES:Note: There are different data sources for some of the arthritis-related statistics, therefore case definitions and terminology also vary. Arthritis Rheum 2008;58(1):26-35. [Data Source: NHANES]Arthritis Rheum 2010 Jun;62(6):1576-82. [Data source: Patient Cohort, Minnesota]Arthritis Rheum 2008;58(1):26-35. [Data Source: 1996 NHIS]Arthirtis Rheum 2008;58(1):26-35
While research continues to make progress in finding treatments for arthritis, the best prevention for arthritis is early detection and exercise. If detected early, physicians can prescribe inhibiting drugs that may limit early onset of symptoms. The Centers for Disease Control recommends rigorous physical activity as a way to help arthritis patients reduce pain and manage other chronic conditions.
While there are numerous treatment options, rehabilitation can make a real difference in arthritis pain relief and coping skills. Our arthritis rehabilitation program focuses on:
• Learning about the disease process and ways to manage symptoms and pain• Increasing mobility, strength, flexibility and dexterity• Learning/practicing to protect joints and pace activities during daily tasks (grooming, dressing and driving), chores and work• Maximizing independence
In some cases, doctors may recommend joint replacement surgery for more severe arthritis conditions. In these instances, we can help a patient by providing pre-surgical strengthening and conditioning of the affected area(s), which is proven to aid in recovery. Post-surgery therapy helps the patient regain maximum use of the affected joints. Ongoing physical therapy keeps the joints strong.
The Arthritis Foundation is a national not-for-profit organization that supports the more than 100 types of arthritis and related conditions.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Woman Subjected to Sexually Hostile Environment, Then Fired for Complaining, Federal Agency Charged
CLEVELAND – Multilink, Inc, an engineering and product development manufacturer with facilities in Elyria, Ohio, violated federal law by subjecting an employee to sex-based harassment and a sexually hostile work environment and then firing her for complaining, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it announced today.
The EEOC said Nancy Noble began working at the company in September 2009 and was subjected to offensive sex-based conduct and sexually demeaning remarks. Despite her complaints to management, the harassment continued. The EEOC alleges that although Multilink's human resources officials and other managers were aware of the sex-based harassment and abusive work environment, Multilink failed to conduct a proper investigation and failed to take prompt or appropriate corrective action to stop the misconduct. The EEOC also seeks relief on behalf of other current and former females employees, similarly situated with Noble, who were also subjected to unlawful sex-based harassment and a hostile work environment.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio Eastern Division (Case: 1:11-cv-02071) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The agency seeks injunctive relief, damages and lost wages and benefits because of Multilink's discrimination.
"Employees should be able to go to work without the worry of harassment," said Regional Attorney Debra Lawrence of the EEOC's Philadelphia District Office, which oversees Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, Maryland, and portions of New Jersey and Ohio. "Not only are employers obligated to provide employees with an environment free of harassment, but upon learning of such misconduct, they are required to take immediate and appropriate action to stop the abuse from continuing."
Multilink manufactures telecommunications network components.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination www.eeoc.gov.

Baseball players for eighth-ranked Kentucky raced from their positions and poured from their dugout toward the mound to celebrate the final out.
Baseball players for eighth-ranked Kentucky raced from their positions and poured from their dugout toward the mound to celebrate the final out.
It's wasn't a Southeastern Conference championship or a game in the College World Series. It was just an early test in mid-February against a team from a lesser league.
But the Wildcats sure were excited about coming back from four runs down in the eighth inning to beat USC Upstate, 11-10, at Harley Park.
"They're happy to win that game," said Spartans head coach Matt Fincher as he glanced over at the opponents still jumping up and down in right field minutes after the victory.
USC Upstate seemed poised for one of its biggest wins in school history, having knocked out Kentucky ace Corey Littrell in the fourth inning and built a 10-6 lead with six outs to go. But the Wildcats scored four times in the eighth, the last three coming home on a wild pitch and an error on a ground ball.
Then in the ninth, Kentucky won it in a pinch.
With the score tied, two on and two out, Kentucky pinch-hitter Thomas Bernal smacked a ground ball that ducked under the USC Upstate pitcher's glove and leaked into center field, hopping over the bag, just out of reach from a dive, to send pinch-runner Kyle Barrett racing around from second for the winning run.
Perhaps the moral victory will sink in, but the Spartans were dejected after they let what would have been a monumental and attention-grabbing victory slip away.
"You lose early, you lose late ..." Fincher said. "I've done this long enough that, honestly, it doesn't matter to me. A loss is a loss."
USC Upstate rocked Littrell, 9-2 with a 2.74 ERA last season, for five runs in the fourth and a 7-6 lead. Tyler Miller had a two-run homer, Gaither Bumgardner an RBI single and Brandon Patterson a two-run single. The Spartans added another run in the fifth and two more in the sixth on Trey Richardson's second homer in two games this season to go up four.
"I was pleased with just about everything we did," Fincher said. "We had good effort and intensity. We were doing a good job with the bats. Some of the pitching wasn't as consistent as we wanted, but that has a lot to do with the opposition. They have a very nice team."
Kentucky is one of five SEC teams ranked in the top eight nationally. Arkansas, Vanderbilt, LSU and South Carolina are the others. The Wildcats opened their season in Spartanburg with a 9-2 win against Wofford and 20-3 against Niagara.
USC Upstate, which opened its season by scoring 23 runs in a win against Niagara, was even more impressive — although the scoring total wasn't the same — against Littrell. The 6-foot-3 junior left-hander is regarded by Baseball America as one of the top 10 prospects in the SEC. Last season against the Spartans, Littrell held them to two hits in seven innings while striking out eight with one walk and no runs. He finished with the fourth-most wins for a season in school history. But in the rematch, he got only 10 outs while allowing nine hits and seven runs, five earned.
"I like him. He's definitely a very good pitcher," Fincher said. "I thought our hitters did an excellent job against him. They stayed in the zone for the most part and put the barrel on the ball from time to time. They got him out of the game earlier than he would have liked. … He had his way with us last year. They responded appropriately, in my opinion. They competed with him and did some really good things."
Patterson led USC Upstate with three hits and three RBIs. Richardson, Brody Greer, Jordan Stampler and Tyler Lesch had two hits each.
USC Upstate, which finished second in the Atlantic Sun Conference last year and after being picked for the bottom of the league, was predicted for third this season. The Spartans will be at home at 4 p.m. Wednesday against Presbyterian before a weekend series at Harley Park against George Washington.
"I wanted to find out some things today," Fincher said. "What I got out of it was that we're further ahead than we were at this point last year."

While it may seem like Linux-only projects are betraying their loyal base by developing Windows or OSX versions, I would argue that cross-platform development is actually better for Linux as a whole, better for individual software projects and their developers, and ultimately better for Linux users.

I'm sorry. I think this whole "marketshare" thing is a farce. There is really no telling how many people are on Linux, because adopters of Linux don't buy it. They simply download it and install it on their computers. This skews the numbers when talking about adopters of Linux.
There's no telling how many people use Windows either but it's certainly a bigger number than reflected in sales figures.
I know certain Linux users really really really want to believe their beloved OS is far more popular than it really is, ....but it's not. The reasons can be whined about/debated til the cows come home but it doesn't change the reality.

Among the dozens of exclusive features in our latest print issue is a photo shoot we did with German musician Boys Noize right before his show at the Telus Theatre in Montreal. For the shoot, the music producer / DJ laced up a crisp white pair of Nike Air Force 1s and stood against a dizzying amount of carefully aligned mirrors before sitting down for an in-depth interview.
The European artist stopped by Canada as part of his never-ending tour schedule which soon finds him in the land down under for a few dates before hopping over to the US for Miami's Ultra Music Festival.

Is Your Tubing Protected Against Microbes?
Microorganisms are living cells so small that most can only be seen with a
microscope. Microbes are a type of microorganism found everywhere, and include
bacteria, fungi and algae. The majority of microbes do not interfere with human activities.
However, in some situations they can cause problems. Growth of microbes on many
materials can lead to foul odors, discoloration and formation of mildew and
biofilm. In the case of tubing, microbes can contaminate the material being
transferred as well as degrade the tubing itself.
Leader in Antimicrobial Technology
Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics is the leader in antimicrobial technology.
Our custom compounding capabilities allow us to produce antimicrobial versions
of many of our tubing products, including Tygon. Tygon Silver Antimicrobial
Tubing is formulated with a silver based compound on the inner surface at the
point of fluid contact; the tubing outer surface can be treated in cases where
bacteria buildup on the O.D. is a concern.
Silver is known to be effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms
that cause discoloration, odor, biofouling and other aesthetic problems.
Antimicrobial polymer compound can be added to approve materials at varying
levels to impart fungistatic, bacteriostatic and algistatic properties to the
material and the end-use product. The high temperature stability and low color
formulation of antimicrobial polymer compounds translate to proven performance
in a wide variety of applications.

* 2 sprigs fresh thyme
* 2 1/2 cups shredded chicken from store-bought rotisserie chicken
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper
In a large pot over medium heat, add the bacon and cook until browned,
about 5 minutes. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 5
minutes. Add the flour, stirring constantly for 1 minute, until the
flour is just slightly golden. Slowly add the chicken stock, whisking
constantly to avoid lumps. Whisk in the milk and add the corn cobs and
thyme to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook about 15 minutes,
stirring occasionally to infuse the corn flavor into the soup. Remove
the cobs and thyme from the pot. Stir in the corn kernels and shredded
chicken. Bring back to a simmer, remove from the heat, ladle into
bowls and serve hot.

BenQ: IP costs will be key to ODD competitiveness in 2005
DVD writing speeds have approached their maximum speed of 16x, leaving little room for companies to gain a market advantage by increasing their drive speeds. Therefore, Lee believes that companies not burdened by excessive royalty payments will have a competitive advantage in the market. For many ODD makers, royalty payments account for as much as 20% of their total production costs, Lee added.
With Philips being a patent holder for DVD technology, BenQ does not have to worry about royalty payments. Other ODD ventures possessing their own IP (intellectual property) include Hitachi-LG Data Storage (HLDS) and Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology (TSST). Except for BenQ, other Taiwan manufacturers will be at a disadvantage in the market next year, unless they can develop strategic partnerships with DVD IP holders, Lee said.
This year, BenQ expects to ship 24-25 million ODDs, Lee added.

The traditional way multinational corporations (MNCs) do business in emerging markets is being challenged by multiple market-based, macroeconomic, and competitive factors. The time is ripe for MNCs to reorganize and reengage to prepare for long-term success.
For years, emerging markets have driven growth for MNCs, but business climates are changing radically throughout the global marketplace. Overall economic growth in these markets has slowed or stalled, and the economics of doing business in these countries has become more challenging.
Indeed, many companies even question whether to stay in emerging markets at all because of the increasingly difficult business conditions therein. But it is critical for them to stay, as
MNCs face three primary challenges in emerging markets:
In order to continue to grow and compete in emerging markets, MNCs need to shift focus to include profitability and productivity as well as growth.
Transformations are complex endeavors. MNCs need to rethink and rebalance trade-offs in their priorities, products, systems, and people as they seek to improve their competitiveness. This is best achieved through a four-step transformation process that includes short-term improvements as well as structural changes in strategy and execution for sustainable, long-term results:
It is also important to remember that go-to-market strategies in emerging markets continue to be highly localized.
Remaining competitive in light of the advantages enjoyed by local competitors entails keeping decision-making abilities within local management teams or shifting them to local teams, as well as rethinking local recruitment and training with retention and productivity in mind.
Armed with the knowledge that transformation is key to long-term success in emerging markets, it is tempting to want to centralize and standardize operations and to make changes in all markets at once. It is far better to resist that temptation and start slowly. Work first in one country to develop a robust methodology, then use the lessons learned when rolling out changes in other countries.
Keep in mind that the culture and climate of each country will be different and in need of slightly different standards. MNCs need to look at becoming multilocal players in a global environment.
Growth in emerging markets will continue, but only for companies that are set up to be competitive and that make growth profitable. In emerging markets, that is the new definition of winning.

DEFENDER Tim Ream is determined to achieve his dream of a regular starting berth for Wanderers.
The American has started just once under new boss Dougie Freedman, pictured below, and made two substitute appearances – the most recent a late appearance off the bench in Saturday's 2-2 draw at Huddersfield.
In total this season – his first full one with the Whites following a move last January from New York Red Bulls – he has made just seven starts.
But he vows to keep working hard on the training pitch and, while admitting he would like more game-time, he says he has never considered a move away from the Reebok Stadium – either on loan or otherwise.
Ream told the New York Times: "I don't really have a desire to move. At this point I need games. I can't go anywhere without getting games and I don't think a loan is really an option.
"I've been in the team since the new manager came in.
"I haven't been looking elsewhere and I haven't been approached.
"When I first came over last January, the first two games I wasn't in the 18.
"Then, I was starting every game, thrust into it, from the beginning of February to May."
Ream admits that after his rude introduction to life in the Premier League, his first campaign in the Championship has been equally difficult, for different reason.
"We came in this year and it was a bigger adjustment, especially to me," said Ream.
"I know I struggled early on and didn't have very good performances so Owen Coyle went with guys who were tested and could get the job done. That's the way things go.
"It was difficult. I had never experienced anything like that before – being left off the team.
"It was very frustrating. You question whether you made the right decision.
"When you're not playing, not even in the first 18 and sitting with all the young boys who are 18, 19 and 20, you kind of look around and maybe question it then.
"But for the most part it's about overcoming that and just working hard."
Ream's hope is that his work ethic will strike a chord with Freedman "It's a matter of working hard, getting games and going from there," he added.
"At the end of day everyone wants to play. It's a matter of putting your head down and getting back to basics.
"Under the new manager, I think I've done well and have been in the 18, back on the doorstep to getting games."
The 25-year-old is enthusiastic about the future, both personally and collectively, under Freedman.
He likes the style the Scot is trying to implement, which is different to that played under ex-Whites boss Owen Coyle, as well as his former manager at Red Bulls – ex-Manchester City number two Hans Backe.
"The new manager is good, definitely different than Owen," said Ream. "He's got a style he likes to play and a structure and shape, something the team really needed drilled into us. I think we've been responding well.
"There's not much different from New York. We have hard days on Monday and Tuesday, off Wednesday, taper down and do more tactical shape later in the week. He's not as into tactics as Hans was. We still work on them, but he's more into the intense work-rates than tactics."

its possible to have only one quota for the mail and the website ? (same ispconfig 2)
Thats not possible, because mail quota is a virtual quota in the pop3/imap daemon as all mailboxes are virtual postfix accounts and run under the same Linux user (vmail) while website quota is linux system quota.
Thanks for your respond

Walking down the hall I felt as if I was in a daze... a dream even, and I couldn't believe I was walking down the halls maybe for the last time as I was about to be cut. It was the day after the final preseason game and the cutting process had begun in order to get down to the 53 man roster. We were nervously sitting around and Rock, the strength coach, was again roaming the locker room and grabbing players one by one to take the long walk to get cut. I was confident in the work I had put in since May on both defense and special teams. Along with depth and injuries I thought I might be safe, but just like that I was grabbed and walking down the long hall to the offices. Coach Fisher pulled me into his office and told me I was not going to be a part of the 53 and the reasons for doing so. Next coach Cecil did the same and offered me some advice. I was escorted to turn in my playbook, sign some paperwork, and collect my belongings before heading out the door for what could have been my last time. Before I knew it I was headed home and uncertain of what would happen next or if I would have a job at all.
All I could do now is sit back and wait to hear my fate. I had to wait two days and on Sunday would find out if I had landed on another team through waivers or would join a practice squad. I had received some interest from other teams and was nervously waiting to see if I would be claimed. It would be good to get on a roster, but starting with new coaches and a new system on week 1 would be difficult. The practice squad would be good if you have an opportunity to move up and mature, but there is a chance you get lost in the shuffle and bumped off to be unemployed. I was going through all the possibilities in my head, but ultimately the decision was out of my hands. There were so many emotions lingering about what I just went through and things that could happen that I was just ready to know my future. After what seemed like the longest hours of Sunday at noon, I got the call to come join the St Louis Ram's practice squad. It was a weird feeling walking into the facility of the team that just let me go and hearing congratulations on the practice squad. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed that I ended up on practice squad. This is because I have such high expectations of myself and worked hard to make the team which was my goal. I am simply not satisfied with the result and I will continue to work my hardest in order to prove myself and stick on an active roster. But don't get me wrong, I am happy to still be a part of the Rams organization and look forward to working my way up and staying ready for whenever my number is called. I am extremely blessed and thankful to have this opportunity to still play football!

And here we go again, for this update were going to bring you a little more of our run at the Exxxotica convention, as well as our usual shenanigans that you dont see anywhere else but here. This year at the Exxxotica convention we ran in to our good friends at the Bang Bus, and it turns out that they parked the bus right in the middle of the convention floor, so naturally we thought that was bad ass and we didnt waste such a great opportunity. First we found a pair of friends who didnt look like they belonged in a porn convention, and lured them into the bus for some good old fashion titty rub and makeout session. Then we ran into a guy with tattoos on his face that was obviously down for some crazy shit, and had Havoc use her sling shot to shoot grapes at his bunghole. After that we decided to put to rest a long standing debate between Nadine and Havoc...that all butt holes are created equal. After that Nadine and Havoc barge in on one of our local gyms and convince a smoking hot latina to show us her workout butt ass naked. It wouldnt be a full Money Talks episode if we didnt find a hot ass girl to fuck, so for this one we have the classic damsel in distress. The lesson for today is that you should always stop and help a fellow motorist because chances are that she might be super hot, in need of cash, and might even be down to give you some ass.

Though Shakespeare's texts are four hundred years old, the stories they tell are still as exciting and relevant as they were to Shakespeare's audience. When you pick up of one of the texts, though, you may groan and complain that they are too hard and need translating from Old English into Modern English. However, Shakespeare's English is actually very similar to the English that we speak today, and in fact isn't Old English at all! What makes it difficult isn't the grammar or the vocabulary as much as the fact that it is written in verse, and therefore most of the words, phrases, sentences and speeches have multiple meanings.
In the classification we have made of English language periods Shakespeare fits officially into the 'modern' category. His language is what is called Early Modern English. Old English is a completely different thing. Look at the following passage in Old English and try and read it:
'Fæder ure þuþe eart on heofonum
si þin nama gehalgod tobecume þin rice gewurþe þin willa on eorðan swa swa on heofonum
urne gedæghwamlican hlaf syle us to dæg
and forgyf us ure gyltas swa swa we forgyfað urum gyltendum
and ne gelæd þu us on costnunge ac alys us of yfele soþlice.'
Do you recognise it? If not, try this one:
'Oure fadir þat art in heuenes halwid be þi name;
þi reume or kyngdom come to be. Be þi wille don in herþe as it is dounin heuene.
yeue to us today oure eche dayes bred.
And foryeue to us oure dettis þat is oure synnys as we foryeuen to oure dettouris þat is to men þat han synned in us.
And lede us not into temptacion but delyuere us from euyl.'
Easier, and perhaps you recognise it now, but only just? Look at the next one:
'Our father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debters.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'
You have just seen a long evolution of the English language. The first is Old English and the most famous literary work written in that form is Beowulf . The Old English extract is, of course, taken from the Bible and is part of the Lord's Prayer.
The second passage is from the Wyclif Bible of 1348, two hundred years before Shakespeare, and it is written in what is called Middle English. The most enduring and famous writer of that time is Chaucer.
The Third is from the King James Authorised Bible and it came out in the same year as The Tempest , in 1611. You have no difficulty with that extract, of course, because it is written in Modern English. You probably find that version of the Bible far easier to read than a Shakespeare text, although the language is the language all English people spoke in Shakespeare's time. That is because it is not expressed in the concentrated form that poets used. It was conventional to write plays in verse during that time, so you would have the same difficulty with almost all of Shakespeare's fellow playwrights.

This was really helpful because I've been wanting to know more about Shakespeare since I am reading "Midsummer Night's Dream" in my PreAP Language Art class (and I can actually understand what it says), and I've been trying to speak in the same way. 🙂
Jökullsmum says:
Cant believe how many words are similar to icelandic in the old english text (because old english and old norse are close in many ways and icelandic has hardly changed). Its strange to believe that this language im trying so hard to learn now is so similar to what they used to speak in my own country. Thanks for the post. very informative.
Crossleydd42 says:
Could the similarity be, in part, to the Viking raids which bedevilled England from 703 to around 1066? Many settled in England and would have influenced the indigenous language.

An aging Scrooge is a bitter man. He received his diagnosis of HIV many years ago, but because of his wealth, he has been stably housed and taking HHART. His vast resources and social status have helped him maintain his health.
The fate of Bob Crachit and his family is much different. Bob, his wife, and his youngest son Tiny Tim, also have an HIV diagnosis, but with no stable housing and healthcare, the Cratchit family's future is uncertain. Now facing eviction, doctors fear that the stress from one more trauma will kill Tiny Tim. Stable housing is healthcare and without it, Tiny Tim will not take his meds or show up for his doctor's appointments. Scrooge doesn't care and neither do many others.
The Ghost of Holiday Past paid Scrooge a visit to remind him of how he felt when he was first diagnosed. Fear. Stigma. Despair. Tears ran down his face as he remembered all of the funerals he attended. He could hardly call out their names as their spirits appeared alongside the Ghost of Holiday Past. "If you had helped them when they were sick they might have been here to spend the holidays with your sorry self."
Suddenly Scrooge found himself looking at 1000's of women and men, looking sick and haggard, waiting in line at a NYC government office. "That's the office where poor, homeless people with AIDS go for housing." said the Ghost of Holiday Present. "But how can there be so many?!" screamed Scrooge. "36,537 as of November 2009 and that does not include the HIV infected homeless. New York City only allows emergency housing to those with an AIDS diagnosis. "What do you want me to do?" pleads Scrooge wearily.
In front of Reddens Funeral home on 14 th Street, where countless HIV/AIDS funerals have taken place since the beginning of the epidemic, Scrooge sees a casket in an empty room. "Whose funeral is that?" asks Scrooge. The Ghost of Holiday Yet to Be responds glumly, "Yours. You died 10 years after Bob, his wife and Tiny Tim." "But how did they die before me? Tiny Tim was just a kid." "They lost their housing right after the holiday of 2009. They asked you for help but you refused. You said you were playing it safe to see how the market did in 2010."
Scrooge howled in horror.
"I can't believe I let Tiny Tim die.
What can I do?!"
Maybe Scrooge isn't the only person asking that question this holiday season. Come over to 180 Christopher Street or 1751 Park Ave and our countless apartment houses throughout NYC and see HIV/AIDS infected single people, couples and families living in places that look nice …. peaceful. We might not be able to bring back Tiny Tim, but we can make sure the next young man living with HIV/AIDS gets off the street and into the Bailey House STARZ Program. We can make sure Bailey House's Street Pantry brings food to where homeless HIV infected people need it most. You can help underwrite a Bailey House family for a day, week, month or a year so that what happened to Bob Crattchit and his family never happens to another family living with HIV/AIDS in our City again.
Make a Donation. Make a Difference.

I howl in horror too! Give to Bailey House it is charity at its best

Anthropology and Multiculturalism: What is Anthropology That Multiculturalists Should Be Mindful of It?
Essay Excerpt
Anthropologists have been doing a lot of complaining that they are being ignored by the new academic specializations in "culture," such as cultural studies, and by both academic and extra-academic manifestations of "multiculturalism." Few anthropologists, however, appear to have made the effort to comprehend the reasons for that indifference from the standpoint of what multiculturalists are trying to do, and fewer still have taken an active part in the discussions surrounding multiculturalism. Most of us have been sitting around like so many disconsolate intellectual wallflowers, waiting to be asked to impart our higher wisdom, and more than a little resentful that the invitations never come (411).

OK a question about those triple-engine installations. Are the transmissions such that you can let the other props free-wheel when running on one engine, or do they have to be locked? Seems like locking down two shafts would be not only a hassle but would create a fair amount of drag and might affect steering.
Or do they get REALLY fancy and have feathering props?

Where and how do you store and organize your bentos and accessories? My cabinets are a MESS. Do you have anything you use to organize? Extra points for a photo!
That's a very good question...I would like to know too ^_^; (Mine are in several cardboard boxes...but then I am still sort of homeless so...) Since I have to build a kitchen in our new house soon, I'm seriously thinking about the best ways to store all those boxes and gear!
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Since I have a 1940's kitchen, so I don't have a lot of cabinet space. I store them collapsed and stacked in a small portion of the an upper cabinet with all the little odds and ends stored in a tupperware. Granted I only have 4 bento boxes and a small container of odds and ends, but really that is more than enough for me.
I have a bit of a problem in this area. At present I have my boxes and furoshikis in kitchen drawers, and the small bits and pieces in a small set of plastic drawers I got from the Warehouse (New Zealand Wal-Mart type of shop).
My blog is Food and Shoes
The boxes fit pretty easily into their own section of the cabinet. It's the "gear" I have problems storing. I had everything in a drawer organizer purchased from IKEA, but the collection outgrew that and now just hangs out in a big tupperware container. For the most part it's not a problem and I can find what I need, but still I have to dig around a bit to find what I'd like to use.
Okay, this made me want to get organized, so I culled my gear (sauce bottles with no lids, nori punches that never really worked well, torn furikake patterns) and put them in a drawer organizer from Target. I like this one because the blue part pulls out to expand and fit the drawer.
I don't have that many bento gear and boxes, therefore I can put all my gear into a sewing basket. I think it's pretty cool because it has several little plastic trays and so small things like sauce bottles or picks can't get lost. Apart from being perfectly organised as far as bento gear is concerned, I also have a little problem with my boxes... I just stacked them on my kitchen shelf, but I don't like that solution very much ._.
I think a sewing box is a lovely idea for bento accessories.
My kitchen is fairly small, so I store most of my items in large, clear Rubbermaid totes (a couple of my more "elegant" boxes are on display in my front room). The smaller items like picks are stored in small Lock and Lock boxes within the totes. I don't pack an actual "box" everyday, though, so this works well for me.
I just wanted to share! I just bought these to organize all my accessories. I'll let you know how it works! Thanks for all the ideas. Now the boxes? That's another story.
I use a large see through plastic tote for my bento boxes. It fits in my "extra" Ikea cupboard. They all fit in there so far (and several are drying in the dish drainer - but they fit too). I seriously need a bigger kitchen!!
My gadgets and doo-dads are in a drawer. But I was only able to have that drawer after I put a hanging set of wire "baskets" to hold my tinfoil, plastic wrap, waxed paper, and baggies. Though, now that we use bento boxes - I'm not so sure we need baggies anymore...

DeLAND, Fla. (March 9, 2010) - After being down most of the match, the No. 59 ETSU men's tennis team dug deep Tuesday morning defeating No. 48 UNC Wilmington 4-3 at the Stetson University Tennis Courts in DeLand, Fla.
With the comeback win ETSU has won three straight contests to improve its overall record to 5-6, while the Seahawks - who have dropped their last three matches - fell to 7-4.
"Since I've been at ETSU we've lost some close heartbreaking matches over the years so it's nice today to come out on the other side of things," said head coach Yaser Zaatini. "Early on Wilmington came out strong, which put us in a tough spot, but guys like Grega and Danny simply didn't allow our team to give up and lose."
As play began ETSU found itself down quickly after the Seahawks took two out of three doubles matches.
"Wilmington did a great job playing hard and fast in doubles," said Zaatini. "They are also a defending conference champion so our guys knew after dropping that point that we had to start putting some shots together to stay in the match."
As singles play opened the Seahawks extend their advantage to 2-0 as Michael Pereira dismissed sophomore Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium) in straight sets 6-3, 6-2.
ETSU finally got on the board as freshman Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) earned a 7-6 (10-8), 6-3 victory over Illia Ziamtsou at No. 4. After Bandres finished fellow classmate Juan-Carlos Ramirez (Asuncion, Paraguay) tied the match at 2-2 with his close 7-6 (11-9), 6-4 win.
"The key for Jesus and Juan-Carlos was their ability to win their first set tiebreakers," said Zaatini. "With us already standing two points down Wilmington could have closed out the win right their if they didn't find a way to to get some points. That really got us going the rest of the match."
With the contest knotted at 2-2, junior Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia) found himself in a tough battle at the No. 2 singles position. After easily dropping the first set 6-1, the second-year Buccaneer rallied back to win the second frame 6-2. With the energy swing from one player to the other during the first two sets, the third was the complete opposite with Teraz and UNCW's Kinshuk Sharma failing to break each other's serve. With the third set tied at 6-6, Sharma quickly got the advantage early in the tiebreaker going up 4-0.
However, showing grit and determination Teraz didn't quit as the No. 85 ranked Buc forced back four break points, in addition to his two serves giving him the 6-4 lead. With Sharma's spirit broke, Teraz then closed out the win at 7-4 for the 7-6 third set victory.
"Out of everyone Grega really stood out," said Zaatini. "He's such a talented player that can really do a lot to his opponent throughout a match. That versatility paid off today. Knowing that Jeremy and Danny were in close battles around the same time, it was critical that Grega didn't give up being down 4-0."
After Teraz's significant win, UNC Wilmington stayed alive as Alex Wetherall outlasted sophomore Jeremy Bonnevalle (Keerbergen, Belgium) 7-6, (7-5), 7-6 (7-3) in another close contest at No. 5.
With the match tied at 3-3 all eyes turned to Court 3 as senior Daniel Isaza (Medellin, Columbia) and Kosta Blank competed point-for-point.
After Blank took the first set 7-6 (7-5), Isaza found away to extend the match with a close 7-5 second set win. Like his teammate's contest Isaza and Blank began the third set each holding their own serve until the Seahawk junior held a 4-3 advantage midway through the set. After being down the ETSU senior captain stayed in the match with a rally of his own winning four out of the next five games sealing the ETSU victory.
"As a coach I don't know if I've ever seen so many tiebreakers in a match," said Zaatini. "Today's contest reminder me a lot of our match with Wake Forest last season. The good thing is that unlike that contest, which we didn't find a way to close it out, we had players step up in the clutch"
ETSU returns to action with a 2 p.m. contest Thursday against Atlantic Sun rival Florida Gulf Coast.

Box Score - Game One
Box Score - Game Two
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Senior Jay Turner turned in a complete-game effort without yielding any earned runs, as MIT ensured a split in its regular-season series against WPI with a 7-3 victory in game two of Sunday's twin bill at Briggs Field. WPI exploded for seven runs in its final at bat to power ahead to a 13-7 victory in game one.
In the nightcap, rookie Brian Doyle knocked home a run with a single to center field as MIT (11-11, 4-4 NEWMAC) moved ahead of WPI, 4-0, after four innings. Turner, who worked out of several tight spots, ran into some trouble in the sixth after an error on a ball hit between short and third. Capitalizing on the miscue, Jameson Kokolis plated two runners with a line-drive single to right field. Kokolis finished the second game 3-for-4 at the plate.
MIT extended its advantage over its NEWMAC rival in the bottom of the seventh. After two quick outs, Stewart Park singled before swiping second. Kevin Wheeler drew a walk to put two runners on, while Thomas Phillips cleared the bases with a double off the fence in left center.
Tech orchestrated another two-out run in the eighth with Doyle driving home fellow freshman Dan Hyatt with a single to left field.
Turner (1-3) delivered a terrific effort en route to his first win of the season. The senior captain scattered 11 hits while striking out four. Doyle, Phillips and rookie Ryne Barry each drove in two runs during the win.
Brian Duncan (2-3) shouldered the loss for WPI after tossing the first seven innings. Duncan surrendered five earned runs and nine hits.
WPI (13-14, 3-6) scored three runs in the first inning of the opener. Taking advantage of two walks and a double steal, WPI plated runs behind three straight singles. Scott McNee roped a base hit to left to ignite the scoring while Cody McGregor and Paul Galligan followed with run-scoring hits of their own.
MIT answered with two runs in the bottom of the second. Freshman Williams Blackman and junior David Nole put the Cardinal and Gray on the board after back-to-back doubles, and rookie Dan Hyatt drove home another score with an RBI single off the diving glove of second baseman Mark Dignum.
McNee singled and stole second to spark a two-run inning for WPI in the third. McGregor doubled to right center to chase MIT starter Cameron Brown while Ryan Rainone brought home WPI's fifth run with a sacrifice fly to left.
MIT's Matt Loper worked three strong innings in relief while Cambridge's Engineers made a bid to get back in the battle. Doyle singled down the left-field line and Park singled to right to set the stage for Phillips, who drove home both runners with a single to left field. Later in the frame, with runners at second and third and two outs, WPI starter Conor Fahey struck out Barry to secure the biggest out of the tilt.
Adding an RBI single to left center off the bat of pinch hitter Brandon Steacy in the sixth, WPI headed to the seventh with a 6-4 lead.
Worcester's Engineers put the first game out of reach after exploding for seven runs in their final at bat. Bryan Watkins and McGregor highlighted the big inning with two-run singles while Matt Moreau and McNee also picked up an RBI during the frame.
MIT scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh, including an RBI single by Barry, but it wasn't enough to provide a serious comeback threat.
Fahey went the distance in game one while improving his season record to 7-1. McNee finished 3-for-3 with a pair of runs, RBI and stolen bases while reaching base in all five of his plate appearances. McGregor closed 4-for-5 and drove home a game-high four runs.
Nole paced the MIT attack after finishing 3-for-3 with two runs and an RBI.

Band Complains About Massive Downloads Destroying Sales; Researchers Can't Find Any Downloads
from the how-do-you-spell-publicity-stunt? dept
Of course, one curious participant in the debate, Wayne Borean, began to question this press release. He went out and searched the various torrent search engines/trackers, and even searched Google with the filetype:torrent search and came up with no results. In other words, it's not just unlikely that the band's work has been shared 100,000 unauthorized times, it's unlikely that it's being shared at all. TorrentFreak jumped into the fray, and noticed very few Twitter followers, and almost no YouTube views on the band's channel, and also began suspecting stuff. After pressing the band's manager for "proof," TorrentFreak discovered that it came from an search form that returns fake results.
Thus, it does not appear that the band purposely mislead people, but it appears that they don't seem to realize that you can do searches on pretty much any made up thing on certain sites and it will tell you there are tons of results. Of course, since this info has been presented, the band claims that "the music thieves are after us now." Or, they're not. Which might actually be a bigger problem for the band.

It seemed only fitting that on the night O.J. Mayo returned to Memphis with the Dallas Mavericks – averaging 20 points a game and leading the NBA in 3-point shooting – that Mike Conley would break the Grizzlies' franchise record for career assists.
"Kind of funny how things work out," Conley said after an 11-assist game and zooming past Jason Williams (2,069) to the top of the team's all-time assists list.
Not so long ago an argument that was a stretch then – and would be laughable now – continued to have its vocal backers: Move Mayo to point guard, Conley's critics said, and sit No. 11 on the bench.
Today, though Conley has much less of a chance to become an All-Star than teammates Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol and Rudy Gay – or Mayo, for that matter – it is generally accepted that Conley is the Grizzlies' most indispensable player.
"He is the engine that makes this team go," Toronto coach Dwane Casey said.
As for Mayo, he's finally on a different track, the right track. Now, as has been well-chronicled following the Grizzlies' 92-82 win over the Mavs at FedExForum on Dec. 21, Mayo had a tough night. He scored but 10 points and went 3-for-11 from the floor, 1-for-4 from behind the arc. Coach Lionel Hollins employed Allen for 35 minutes – his heaviest workload of the season – and Allen put Mayo on lock-down.

Allen's playing time was anything but a coincidence. Mayo matched a career high with 40 points in a Dec. 8 victory at Houston and outscored the Rockets' James Harden, 16-3, in the fourth quarter. So while it's true Mayo is getting abundant scoring opportunities because Dirk Nowitzki has been out with a knee injury, it's also true that "Juice" has been filling up the stat sheet all over the league.
"It's an opportunity to be aggressive," Mayo said. "It becomes more of a responsibility, though. I like it."
When the Mavs walked into FedExForum Mayo carried a 20.2 ppg scoring average; next was center Chris Kaman's 14-point average. As O.J. goes, so go the Mavericks. At least for now.
"The timing was great for us," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said of Mayo's decision to sign as a free agent after four up-and-down years with the Grizzlies. "He's getting a lot of defensive attention. He gets the best defender. He gets double-teamed. He's having to learn about patience and discipline. He was the No. 3 or No. 4 option (in Memphis) and that was not the case."
In Memphis, Mayo was a lot of things. A mystery, for one, because the scoring potential would rise up and show itself from time to time. But he was also asked to do two things that really didn't suit him: play some point guard and come off the bench for Hollins never knowing how many minutes or shots he would get.
His altercation with Tony Allen on a flight over a card game wasn't quite the big deal some made it out to be, but it was one of several episodes – including the Grizzlies' persistent efforts to trade Mayo – that made life more challenging. By the time Mayo walked out of the locker room for the last time he was no longer the cocky kid who first arrived in Memphis. He was a pro.
His work ethic and toughness are two of the things Carlisle likes best about Mayo, adding, "He's got an engaging personality. He's got some great intrinsic qualities other than being a skilled basketball player … (Dirk) and O.J. will mesh well together because O.J. not only is a good scorer, but a very good cutter. He will benefit Dirk (and vice-versa)."
Said Allen: "As hard as he works, I know he'll be a success. Many a night I would come to the gym expecting to see nobody and who would I see? O.J. Mayo."
Mayo counts Marc Gasol and former teammate Shane Battier as guys who taught him how to be "a professional." He says many players, Allen included, showed him work ethic and rallied behind him during tough times. Now he knows his past led to his present.
"Even when the light does not seem that big," the former Grizzly said with a knowing smile, "continue to grind in the dark."

The battles are here! On Monday night, "The Voice" moved on to that exciting stage of the competition known as the battle rounds. You know the drill: Each coach pairs up his or her team members to combatively duet on a song and then, after the two singers give it their all, breaks one of their hearts by picking the other to advance.
The heartbreak is mitigated for some by the coach steal, in which the other coaches can scoop up unpicked singers for their own teams, turning losers back into potential winners with the push of a button. Sometimes more than one coach makes a play for a contestant, and the battle moves to the big red chairs. But for those who don't get picked by their coaches and are passed over by the rest, it just means double the rejection. Brutal.
Given the intensity of the battles themselves, the music-industry mentors brought in to help the coaches during this round often seem beside the point. This season, though, in addition to Ed Sheeran (Christina Aguilera's team), Miguel (CeeLo Green's team) and Ryan Tedder (Adam Levine's team), the battles brought us Cher, who performed during last season's finale, gently jousting with Blake Shelton. Cher!
FULL COVERAGE: Fall TV preview 2013
By enlisting Cher as a mentor, "I have forever trumped any coach on any season of 'The Voice,'" Shelton said. Hard to argue.
And then there were the matchups:
Levine pitted Berklee College of Music-trained wedding-band singer Grey against flirtatious family-centric dance instructor Nic Hawk on Jesse J's "Domino," calling them the "two most opposite people I can imagine." Grey's voice was strong and mellifluous and Hawk's sometimes wavered, but he was by far the more interesting performer, energetically dancing around. "He's got his own little disco going," Shelton said, adding that it was "impossible not to get wrapped up in that." Green concurred, but Aguilera preferred Grey's "steady" vocals. Levine chose Grey, but Hawk didn't have to go home. Shelton scooped him up in a steal, joking (I think) that he wanted Hawk to teach him to dance. "Adam, you screwed up so bad," Shelton said, later admitting, "If ever there was an odd couple, it's me and Nic," but adding, "I think it's going to be a lot of fun."
In a battle of the teens, Aguilera had 17-year-old Amber Nicole face off against 15-year-old Timyra-Joi, asking them to dig deep to impress her with Beyonce's "Listen." The young singers' impassioned performances – one smooth, one gritty -- left Aguilera in tears. "If I was up and coming, I would be scared of you guys," Aguilera said. Green gave the match to Timyra-Joi. Levine and Shelton weren't sure who'd won. Aguilera had to make the call, and she chose Amber Nicole, saying she was a bit further along vocally. Surely someone would steal Timyra-Joi. Someone? Anyone? Alas, no. The 15-year-old was sent home in tears. "I'm really shocked and disappointed that no one snatched her up," Aguilera said. Shelton seemed a bit disappointed himself. If he could, he said, he'd go back and steal her.
Shelton paired up two Alabama-based country singers, Justin Chain, who'd recovered from a devastating motorcycle crash, and pageant consultant and hairstylist Shelbie Z. on the Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson duet "Don't You Wanna Stay." Shelbie Z. proved she had greater staying power. The other coaches were split in their preferences – Green thought Shelbie Z. might have veered a bit off pitch – but Shelton was clear, evenly assigning any pitch issues and picking Shelbie Z. as the winner. No one moved to steal Chain.

Green teamed 18-year-old show choir singer Anthony Paul with 17-year-old summer-camp singer Caroline Pennell on Justin Bieber's "As Long As You Love Me." Paul thought he had the advantage going in, since the song was more in his wheelhouse, and he certainly took the opportunity to showcase his vocal control, pulling back where needed and showing off where possible, but Pennell's quirky style trumped his. Her performance mesmerized. The coaches agreed it was a standout battle – the best of the day, said Aguilera – but didn't agree on a winner. Levine was transported by Pennell's take; Shelton gave the match to Paul. Aguilera hedged her bets and declined to declare who'd won. When Green picked Pennell, calling her style "surreal" and saying it "encourages me to dream with my eyes open," Aguilera swiped Paul, saying she'd been impressed by his control.
The final two battles were fiercely fought. Levine matched up the Tina Turner-esque Donna Allen – at 54, the former Miami Sound Machine backup singer wanted to prove it was never too late to pursue your dreams – with lush-voiced Jamaican singer Tessanne Chin on Emeli Sandé's "Next to Me." You pretty much knew the battle was going to go to Chin – the younger singer had turned four chairs during the blinds -- but Allen gave Chin a good run for her money nevertheless. Shelton thought Allen had actually taken it, but Green, Aguilera and ultimately Levine declared Chin to have been the winner, and sadly no one scooped up Allen. Oh, well. There are worse things than being repeatedly compared to Tina Turner on national TV, even if you are sent home thereafter.
In the last pairing of the night, Aguilera had Briana Cuoco, who's looking to step out of the shadow of her famous sister, actress Kaley Cuoco, battle it out with 16-year-old high schooler Jacquie Lee on the Animals' "House of the Rising Sun." But the bigger battle happened after Aguilera picked Lee as the winner. Both Green, who had given the match to Lee, and Shelton, who thought Cuoco had won, went in for the steal. Green thought he'd sewn things up when he told Cuoco her he'd nurture her "weathered," "durable" voice and help her go far as part of Team CeeLo. But Shelton complimented the way Cuoco connected with her lyrics – saying he could tell she was a songwriter – and won her for his team, using up his final steal of the season on the very first night of the battles. Bold!
What do you think? Did the coaches make the right calls?
