Well, we all fought hard to get the SU Treasury to fix our budget for next year, and although we were moderately successful (not really), the Senate (god bless 'em) voted the proposed budget down. Now it's time for ROUND 2!
There will be an SU General Budget Joint Session tomorrow at high noon (12 PM) in Simon Hall. Please, if you have the time, come support KWUR and the exec committees in general, and voice your (educated) opinion about the shortcomings of next year's budget. The Facebook event is linked here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=11751729348. We need your help!

TORRANCE, CA, June 28 2004 – American Honda released the first images of its 2005 Accord V6 Hybrid, a gas-electric hybrid version of Honda's best-selling car, scheduled to go on-sale at Honda dealerships nationwide later this year. Utilizing a next-generation hybrid powertrain, the Accord V6 Hybrid will deliver power and performance above the current 240-horsepower Accord V6 with the fuel economy of a compact-class, four-cylinder Civic sedan.

"Putting hybrid technology into our most popular model is a further indication of Honda's commitment to hybrid technology and our confidence that consumers are ready for more hybrid models," said Tom Elliot, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "The Accord hybrid delivers both increased performance and higher fuel economy.? It takes hybrid technology into all new territory."
With class-leading performance and fuel efficiency provided by a highly advanced and super-efficient hybrid V6 powertrain, the Accord Hybrid will produce in excess of 240 horsepower with near-peak torque available across the engine's full operating range for exhilarating performance with superb acceleration, passing power and cruising comfort.
Honda's innovative new Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology further enhances the efficiency of the Accord Hybrid by deactivating three of the engine's six cylinders during cruising and deceleration with no impact to vehicle performance or passenger comfort.
Honda's advanced and super-efficient Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid system utilizes a high-output electric motor/generator to provide for more efficient engine operation by capturing electrical energy during braking or deceleration and using that energy to help power the vehicle. In addition, the system features the ability to shut off the engine during vehicle stops for further efficiency gains. The resulting savings in fuel consumption, along with VCM cylinder deactivation, provides for fuel economy comparable to a compact-class Civic sedan powered by a four-cylinder engine.
The Accord Hybrid's exterior has a number of exclusive features including a unique front grille design, new taillight appearance and special hybrid badging, along with a rear trunk lid spoiler and exclusive alloy wheel design for improved aerodynamics.
Honda introduced the Insight, America's first hybrid vehicle and still the fuel economy leader, in December 1999. Honda then took hybrid technology into the mainstream with the introduction of the Civic Hybrid in March 2002. Sales of the Insight and Civic Hybrid accounted for more than half of all U.S. hybrid sales in 2003, according to R.L. Polk vehicle registration data. Civic Hybrid set consecutive sales records in March, April and May with year-to-date sales up nearly 20 percent versus last year through the end of May.

Hmmmm, nothing like a bit of nostalgia?
Somewhere I still have a 5.25" floppy from Norton, that claims to detect all 720 known viruses
I remember the days when viruses mostly spread via the boot sector of floppies. There was a kind of competition amongst the authors as to who could write the smallest virus.............harmless, as you didn't have room for a payload!
Back then there was no internet, no e-mail and the only things usually attached to a network were 5250 dumb terminals (greenscreens).
Melissa?...........David L. Smith.............. I downloaded his Poppy, Office 97 macro virus generation toolkit...........I took a look at the metadata and saw that he had used a copy of office 97 registered in his own name!
Lovebug............I was lucky there...........I added a little regedit to their logons about 6 weeks before, so it only opened in notepad
I guess things have moved on a pace in the past few years? you hardly ever hear of an honest to goodness virus these days?

Glaz-Tech Industries will make a $4 million capital investment and create 50 new direct jobs in Baton Rouge at a new glass manufacturing facility.
The average salary at the plant will be $34,000 per year, plus benefits.
Louisiana's economic development department estimates the project will result in an additional 97 indirect jobs.
Headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, Glaz-Tech Industries began operations in 1990 and has expanded with additional locations in Phoenix; Denver; Salt Lake City; Albuquerque, New Mexico; El Paso, Texas; and Boise, Idaho. The Baton Rouge location will be the company's eighth site.
It will be located near Choctaw and North Sherwood Forest drives. Glaz-Tech recently acquired a 25,000-square-foot manufacturing building on Dual Street, where the company is completing renovation work and building a 15,000-square-foot addition. The facility will make and distribute glass products across a 400-mile radius along the Gulf Coast.
Glaz-Tech produces tempered safety and insulated glass for residential and commercial construction markets, with a variety of specialty products for mirrors, shower doors, and beveled, decorative surfaces, as well as windows, doors and enclosures.
The company will begin hiring and initial operations by September and complete its expansion within the next six months.
"We are proud to embrace our eighth location of Glaz-Tech Industries and are equally ambitious to begin serving Baton Rouge and its surrounding areas," President Pete Fazlollah said.
"Louisiana continues to attract a broad array of manufacturing companies focused on our state's growing economy," Gov. Bobby Jindal said.
To secure the project, LED offered Glaz-Tech use of the state's FastStart workforce development program. The company also is expected to use Louisiana's Quality Jobs and Industrial Tax Exemption programs.
"Fabricated materials production — especially architectural, metal and construction products — is a target sector identified as a growth industry in the Capital Region," said Jared Smith, director of business development for the Baton Rouge Area Chamber.

DALLAS, TEXAS -- I spoke to a SuperMedia sales representative about advertisement. He told me that he would send out a couple of proofs for me to review and to decide upon which one I wanted to use or have corrections made if there was anything about the proofs that I didn't like. OK, well, I did receive the 2 proofs and I had some corrections that I wanted made to them. Meanwhile about 2 days after receiving the proofs, the landlord to the house I lived in told me that I absolutely could not open a day care center there in my home so there was no need for advertisement at this point.
I then get a call from a completely different sales agent asking me if I saw the proofs and if I liked them. I told him that yes I had in fact gotten the proofs, but I needed them to halt printing and I would contact them and let them know I'm ready.. (I was about to move to a new location but it would be a while). The sales guy told me that the advertisements already went out. "I didn't even approve the proof yet so how did it go out already?" I asked him. Next thing I know I'm getting phone calls asking why did I want the printing to be halted after they had already gone out.
Again I had to tell the that I never approved of the proofs. After this time I had several conversations with SuperMedia employees asking for payment on the product that went out. The advertisement never should have gone out because I didn't approve the proofs or give them the go ahead to produce the product and send it out. I had spoken to several employees in management who told me they'd look further into the matter to see what happened.
I recently, spoke to a male member of management who apologized to me and told me that he along with other members of management reviewed the recording of the sales persons conversation with me and he found there to be deception because he didn't disclose certain pricing that would affect my account and the price I'd have to pay. He told me that the sales person had been reprimanded and let go. And he kept apologizing to me for what had happened and he assured me that they would zero out the account and I wouldn't be responsible for any payments and it would be as if it never happened. I thanked him and he thanked me and we bid one another a good day.
Next thing I know 2 months later, I start getting phone calls from collection agency telling me I had a debt with SuperMedia... From there I spoke to a woman named ** who is a member of management who tried to argue with me that the debt was valid. ** asked me why it took so long for me to call in to dispute or say anything about the debt. "We sent out almost a year's worth of invoices and bills informing you of the debt and the balance you owe. The last time you spoke to anyone in our office is back in Nov of 2010 and there are no other conversations on record." She said to me.
I told her that first of all I didn't receive any invoices or bills and that I had spoken to a few people since Nov 2010. So bottom line, SuperMedia is trying to say that this debt is valid and it has been placed on my credit as a slow pay....
SAINT PETERSBURG/TAMPA, FLORIDA -- Signed up with Super media, LLC and they got a website and mobile site up and going. It took about 45-60 days before any (even one call) came in. Keep in mind I was billed for all the clicks I allotted in the budget. The site generated approximately 3-5 calls per week at best and was just enough to cover the budgeted amount ($250) per month. The billing was always at the $247 mark, like clockwork. Then the phone calls quit coming in, yet the bill was always the same and consistent.
Then my bank informed me of a new card for my account and the numbers changed, thus, preventing the bill from going through. SuperMedia called and we agreed to suspend the account till it was resolved... so I receive a final bill that shows two (2) months at $322+/-!?! So I call them to find out why the account charged when the website was down, as well as why the amount was higher than all of the previous months.
They had no answer, and they sent it to collections about three days prior (two days after sending an email to call them to work out arrangements.) When I told them I was disputing the amount and asked them to remove from the collection agency, they told me they couldn't/wouldn't.
So the advice to any new company thinking of going with SuperMedia, LLC is to avoid them unless it is a last resort, even then I would hire homeless persons to distribute fliers in the future instead of SuperMedia. The website service (making changes or corrections) is non-existent! I called from the first day for simple corrections and never got the changes made (they say they will, or that they did, but it never happens). After the fourth call, I finally gave up on that.
Their "customer service" team that is supposed to help maximize your advertising, is pathetic. Your calls from the site, if you receive any, will arrive at the beginning of the monthly billing cycle, and then mysteriously stop. I asked them to spread out the budget throughout the month for consistency purposes, and the only thing they offered was for me to increase my budget!
As a new business, it is difficult enough to make an impact in the communities you serve. Money is perhaps the greatest concern of all business owners, and SuperMedia, LLC is only there to add to those worries. Save your money, hire someone for the website design, then hire someone for SEO if necessary! SuperMedia, LLC is an expensive lesson I hope others won't need to learn through personal experience!
TACOMA, WASHINGTON -- I have had a very poor business experience with "SuperMedia." I don't want to have to pay you to listen to all of the many errors that they have made. I am still trying to get them to reimburse me for $700 of over-charges. This has been going on for months. Please post this review to as many review sites as possible: I decided to take a much closer look at our marketing efforts. One of these efforts included the decision to try "Superpages.com." I was given plenty of promises and even decided to have them produce a short video for our www/superpages.com ad.
I never post reviews but this one might help others from making the same mistake. My main contact representative was **. This was nothing but a game to him. The culture at SuperMedia (the entity that handles Superpages.com) is callous. Mr.** and SuperMedia stole $700 from me. Looks like I have to file a claim or something.
I have since cancelled my account and I will spend those ad budget dollars at Google or Dex. I have spent 200 hours dealing with Superpages. Trust me - run. You don't want to waste money and time here. And how many "clicks" to our website in the last 6 months? About 10. And it isn't that they called us instead. Superpages.com didn't even list our phone number!
MORGAN HILL, CALIFORNIA -- This company is in such disarray it's hard to explain. Oh how many times they let me down. They DO NOT HAVE A CLUE. God help you if you do business with them. They don't even know what prefix goes with what city. They promise you everything is taken care of and then they get it wrong, in my case two years in a row. Their ad designers must be in kindergarten, the words on the ad were so small you'd need a microscope to see them, the colors are enough to make you vomit.
On top of their complete incompetence, last year I received my home town SuperMedia yellow page phone book, guess what they delivered a different city's book to me, none of my neighbors got the right book either. Not only did they consistently get the information in the book wrong but now I don't think they even delivered the book. Don't bother trying to complain you'll get nowhere. I am just amazed at where America is!
DFW AIRPORT, TEXAS -- We have been trying to get through to SuperMedia that we are not interested in their services for three years, but they continue to bill monthly and add service charges. Whenever we reach someone by phone, they always make excuses that the latest yellow pages directory has already been sent to press. In my opinion, they are a scam. Warning to anyone they contact... SuperMedia is like a tick on a dog, you can't get rid of it. I notified them at least five or six times in the past year by sending a copy of a letter I wrote advising I wanted nothing to do with their company.
MYRTLE BEACH, SOUTH CAROLINA -- I found that our companies had multiple listings that were inaccurate and needed updating. After updating the information for two hours or so and trying to save the information, I became aware that both of our companies would not show, at once, in the login portal. I then contacted SuperMedia for assistance.
The customer care representative troubleshooted some areas and finally got both companies to show in the portal. When I checked to confirm everything, both companies were indeed there, but all of our company's information was lost. After informing her that they had deleted all of my information, she replied, "Oh yea, that happens."
I asked her why didn't she tell me before they deleted everything so that I could have copied most of the information and pasted it in later. She said "sorry, that's just the way it is. Both of your companies are there. Now have a good day." I was shocked with the phone still at my ear, and she obviously didn't realized that we were still connected because someone asked her what I was saying towards the end of the conversation, and she replied, "he says that all of his information is gone now, and you know what? I really don't give a **." I said "Oh, OK." Then she disconnected the call.
The following day, I decided to call back to make a complaint with management. Not mentioning the poor service from the previous day, I asked the representative to pull the log for the lady's name that helped me, and he could not find anything in the system for that day where my company was helped. She had deleted the entire incident.
HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA -- After being contacted many times by Sales-People from SuperMedia that kept telling me they "would get me so much work that I would be able to pick and chose what work I want and turn the rest away!!" I decided to give it a try. They make you sign a 2 year contract that is over $200 per month which is the equivalent of having a second car payment each month.
It has now been 4 months and that $200 per month has gotten me 0 phone calls, 0 emails, 0 text and $0 in income. When I try to call to speak to someone at SuperMedia, all I get is voicemail and nobody ever returns my calls. They must be too busy scamming the next fool??? If you are considering doing anything for your company to increase sales and calls coming in, I suggest that you do ANYTHING other than SuperMedia. All SuperMedia does is drive small businesses like mine out of business.
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK -- I renewed the contract for my business website in March 2013. My site has been up for about 8 years. I did not want any changes, but the web department launched a completely revised website. It was awful and misrepresented my services. Since then (over a month) I have made over 15 calls to my sales rep, customer service and the web department - all with no results as yet. This is the worst customer experience I have ever had.
DALAS, PENNSYLVANIA -- The web page was horrible. I was supposed to be able to have it searched on Google and it was not. The only way it could be viewed was through a obscure web page Supermedia.com, even then my last name would not show up. You would be better advised to donate money to charity at least it may do some good.
We are never pleased when one of our clients is unhappy. Please give me the opportunity to review your issue. I promise someone will get back to you within 48 hours with an update. Please provide me with the following information and e-mail back to me at: email@example.com

Loraine defeats Blackwell, 49-22
HERMLEIGH — After making the six-man playoffs with a thrilling last-second win a week earlier, Blackwell got off to a promising start in its Division II bi-district meeting with Loraine on Friday.The Hornets, however, couldn't finish what they started on this night after getting inside Loraine's 20 on their first two possessions. Blackwell did tie Loraine, 8-8, in the second quarter, but it was pretty much all downhill from there as Loraine won 49-22 to advance into the next round of the playoffs and end Blackwell's season.Loraine (7-4) will face Balmorhea in the area round while Blackwell finishes its year with a 5-6 record.Blackwell got the ball first and immediately moved into range on a 29-yard run by Jayden Jones, only to turn it over on downs at Loraine's 13.The Hornets got another chance to take the lead after recovering a fumble at the Loraine 22, then gained eight more yards before being pushed back and giving it up again. This time, Loraine capitalized with an eight-play scoring drive to take an 8-0 lead.Blackwell responded with an 18-yard scoring pass from Ethan Andrews to Ted Chambliss, and Wade Allen's PAT tied it at 8-8. But the rest of the half was all Loraine as it scored 26 straight points for a 34-8 lead, before scoring again to begin the third quarter.Blackwell cut it to 41-16 on a 5-yard Jones run and Allen kick, but the Hornets couldn't overcome the damage from Loraine's surge — which included two touchdowns in a 19-second span shortly before halftime.After Ricky Cantu scored his fourth touchdown of the game for Loraine with 6:01 to play, Blackwell got its final points on a 3-yard pass from Andrews to Matthew Meyer with :40 remaining.Head coach Clint Lowry was glad to see Blackwell continue to battle in the second half after its adversity. "We finished the game like we should have," he said of his team, which made the playoffs for the first time since the 2008 season. "That shows we have a lot of heart and character. I'm proud of them after going into the half like we did. We made some mistakes and they capitalized on them, but these guys are fighters. They surprised a lot of folks. I think they've gained some respect. I'm just proud to be a part of it."Blackwell, which had just one win — which came by a forfeit — last year prior to Lowry's arrival, appears to have a solid core for 2013 as only three seniors graduate.Jones, a junior, rushed for 117 yards while Andrews, who is also a junior, threw for 114 yards and two TDs.The leading defenders were Jones with 10 solo tackles, five assists and a fumble recovery; Mark Monroe with seven solo tackles and four assists; Mason Magness with six solo tackles and four assists; Chambliss with five solo tackles and six assists; Kaleb Edwards with four solo tackles and six assists; and Franck Cano with two solo tackles and six assists.

Few homes in the land won't enjoy a bottle of wine over the festive season.
And yet it can be a bit of a task to find exactly what will go best with the turkey.
There's such a selection on liquor store shelves these days that the occasional imbiber may become lost in a maze of inviting labels. The best thing to serve is the wine you enjoy the most. But some wines do pair better with turkey, a spicy stuffing and cranberries.
Here are some suggestions, which get a little more weighty in mouthfeel as we move down the list.
Even if the exact bottle of wine isn't in your favourite store, ask for help. There will be something quite similar at hand.
Franz Haas Kris Pinot Grigio, Veneto, Italy, 2006, $18. This family-run estate has been making wine in Friuli since 1880. Flowers, pears and almonds on the nose. Strong hints of lime on the palate, with a slight touch of honey. A clean, crisp, refreshing white.
Cline Viognier, Sonoma, Calif., 2006, $19. Lovely aromas of stonefruits -- apricots, nectarine and peach -- with a full-bodied, oily texture and a citrus aftertaste. An especially good choice if you are looking for an aperitif or serving seafood appetizers.
Fleur du Cap Unfiltered Chardonnay, Stellenbosch, South Africa, 2006, $23. A full-bodied, dry style of Chardonnay that has been left on lees to produce that smoky, creamy style that marries well with its tropical fruits. Bottled unfiltered, it is a massive white that requires bold food to stand up to it. Don't hold back on the spice in the dressing.
Cave Spring Estate Bottled Riesling, Niagara, Ont., 2006, $23. A flinty nose with some grapefruit, lime zest and a slight touch of petrol. The palate suggests lime and citrus. A slight sweetness suggests it will go well with candied yams and honey-glazed ham.
Lucien Albrecht Gewurztraminer Reserve, Alsace, France, 2005, $21. Gewurztraminer means "spicy," and this textbook version is typical with hints of rose petals, lychee nuts, grapefruit and citrus. The palate suggests passion fruit, with some citrus notes. It's off-dry style makes it a winner with the fixings of a Christmas dinner.
Michel Chapoutier Chateau des Estubiers Rose, Rhone Valley, France, 2006, $17. A certified organic, dry rose made by Chapoutier, one of France's most respected winemakers. It's a harmonious Grenache-Syrah blend that speaks of fruit, the earth and spice. An excellent fruit-acid balance finish it keeps it lively and fresh.
Gray Monk Latitude Fifty Rose, Okanagan, B.C, 2005, $15.49. Made from Gamay (Beaujolais) grapes, this off-dry wine has an aroma of maraschino cherries, ripe berries and exotic spices. In the mouth, some rhubarb notes with a touch of pepper on the finish. An excellent pairing for the cranberries.
Georges du Boeuf Brouilly Beaujolais, France, 2006, $17. This Cru Beaujolais is an excellent choice for someone who enjoys a lighter-styled but juicy red. It presents itself in a bowling pin-shaped bottle and offers fresh raspberry, plum and violet aromas. Some crisp, tart acidity and wet-earth notes on the palate. Hints of pomegranate in the finish.
Drylands Pinot Noir, Marlborough, New Zealand, 2006, $22. A keenly priced, impressive, elegant, medium-bodied wine showing bright-cherry and strawberry fruit. Hints of herbes de provence give this New World red the touch of finesse associated with classy Burgundies. Abundant fruit framed by the deft use of oak.
Cedar Creek Platinum Reserve Pinot Noir, Kelowna, B.C, 2005, $45. This is the flagship Pinot Noir of this much-acclaimed winery. Aromas of coffee, mocha, ripe cherries, raspberries and cloves. It was aged in French oak, which lends some vanilla and creaminess. Supple tannins and a long, velvety finish.
Columbia Crest Grand Estates Merlot, Columbia Valley, Washington, 2004, $21. A great buy and rated in the Wine Spectator's Top 100 wines for 2007. A big, ripe, black-cherry and cocoa bouquet, with a hint of cedar. In the mouth, chocolate, mocha and black currants.
Dominio del Plata Crios de Sana Balbo Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina, 2004, $20. For those who must have a full-bodied red, try this inky-purple coloured, fruity, jammy wine. Suggestions of freshly crushed cherries, blackberries and black currants.

can also be a way of guaranteeing yourself a job when you finish
Scholarships can come in a variety of forms, including:
|# academically competitive
|# financial hardship
|# rural students
|# war veterans children
|# disability
|# scholarships offered by specific companies and employers
There are quite literally 1000's of scholarships out there and finding your way through the scholarship maze can sometimes be quite daunting.
The "Good Universities Guide" scholarships finder is the most comprehensive database of scholarships in Australia. You can search this to find scholarships in any state or region, at any institution or in any field or level of study and much more.
You can find specific scholarship information for every Australian university on each university's website - the links to these are here.
I will also post information on specific relevant scholarships on the "Scholarships" page which you can find under the "For Students" menu

So... since August, every foodie magazine has front covers with all kinds of fattening food & desserts. January rolls around and it's a whole new picture! Low-fat this, Diet That.... Food Blogosphere is chock full of "healthy recipes". Does that mean that now isn't the time to post my puff pastry, butter-ridden, sinfully good Christmas Evedinner recipe? Fine. I'll wait. Valentine's Day is just around the corner! Okay, I admit it-- I over-indulged with the rest of you. I've been cooking healthy! Honest! I made a gorgeous pot of vegetable minestrone soup. Did I photograph it? No! Just this weekend, I had a craving for beans. The Latina side of my genetics loves beans, just as the German side of my DNA adores potatoes. I make a pretty tasty batch of refried beans, if I do say so myself. Since I cook meatless at least once a week, I stock up on Trader Joe's black beans. We love them. My cravings were being very fussy, though-- I wanted Red Beans & Rice and had not soaked any beans overnight! No problemo! I love my Digital Pressure Cooker.
(Now, I'm totally craving beignets. Great...)

As a subscriber to the Lake Sun for the last 16 years, I have read some articles that have disappointed me, some more so, some less.
*Editor's Note: This opinion is in response to an article titled "Commissioners address noise ordinance," published in the Wednesday, April 24 Lake Sun.
As a subscriber to the Lake Sun for the last 16 years, I have read some articles that have disappointed me, some more so, some less. The most disappointing yet was the one in the one on the front page of the April 24 issue. This was the one regarding the Commissioners addressing a possible noise ordinance.
Presiding Commissioner Kris Franken is quoted as saying "First, there is some concern as to our authority to institute such an ordinance because of the fact that we are not the county building code official". He goes on to elaborate on decibel meters and the many problems associated with them". He continues on to say that noise ordinances are "probably not the best choice" but does not give us the luxury of his recommendation as to what might be the best choice.
Associate Commissioner Beverly Thomas then jumps on the bandwagon to repeat that noise ordinances are "probably not the best choice", but also does not give us her recommendation on what course of action should be taken. She does go on to say that "what we are doing is requiring venues to develop and construct sound abatement structures to help keep noise contained within or close to the venue". This is great, Beverly. How about telling us how many venues have you put on notice to meet your requirement and what is the status of their progress? She also goes on to say "I guess what all of this means is that a noise ordinance is not currently being reviewed…" We have that picture very clearly now Beverly.
Associate Commissioner Cliff Luber (2nd District County Commissioner) comes on board to say "I am not in favor of a noise ordnance as they are too subjective". He further states that "this is a very minor problem at the lake with only two active situations currently". Let me give you a clue, Cliff. If the "minor problem" is next door to where you live, you would not make that statement. To me, that statement is totally uncalled for, and shows a complete disregard for the rights of some of our lake residents.
Let's summarize for a minute. Our Camden County Planning and Zoning Commission had a recent meeting. A noise ordinance was discussed and put down by the various Commissioners as being not the best choice, not being reviewed, and too subjective. The only person that gave us a shred of hope was Beverly Thomas when she said they are requiring venues to develop and construct structures to contain noise. However, she does not divulge the status of this effort.
Mr. Gene Smith of Gravois Mills wrote a letter to the editor in the same Lake Sun edition that was published and asked the question "Where is Camden County on the noise issues" This is one example for you Gene. They do a lot of discussing without any proactive moves to correct the problem.
Does anyone see any evidence of any county leadership regarding solving excessive noise issues here at the lake? With one minor exception, not one positive statement was made at this meeting.

You may remember the story back on April 29 -- one retold in this space -- about tanker truck driver James Mosqueda's accident on I-580 south of San Francisco, where he took a ramp exit too fast, flipped his truck over, watched his gasoline tanker explode into flame, and then literally melt an entire section of that elevated roadway into glowing debris.
Well, Mosqueda's company, Sabek Trucking of South San Francisco, just got its license to haul gasoline suspended by the California Highway Patrol this week after a CHP inspection found 36 safety violations -- and this is the first such suspension CHP has imposed on a hazmat trucking firm since 1992, according to the Tri-Valley Herald newspaper (which has done a stupendous job reporting this story, I might add.)
Apparently, however, Sabek has a bad safety reputation for some time, the Herald found: For example, law enforcement cited the truck Mosqueda drove that day 27 times for safety violations in the past 2 1/2 years. And though Mosqueda had a clean record, he'd only been driving tankers for 10 months before he wrecked: That could indicate a big gap in his driver training.
The suspension was based on a May 16 inspection of Sabek's terminal in King City, CA, which found defective brakes and loose wheel lug nuts on two of three tanker trucks and three tanker trailers. In the past year, three of every four Sabek trucks rolling into state roadside inspection station have been ordered off the road for serious safety violations. The Tri-Valley Herald reported that CHP Commissioner Mike Brown told the company in a letter : "It is evident that your company does not have adequate safety measures in place to ensure the safe operation of commercial motor vehicles used for the transportation of hazardous materials."
Talk about an understatement! Defective brakes on a TANKER loaded with GASOLINE?
Though the melted ramp has been rebuilt -- in 25 days, no less -- I don't think we can let this incident pass from our minds as quick as it will disappear from the general public's conciousness. Look, word passes fast down the trucking grapevine and I am more than certain drivers and managers within the trucking community knew Sabek had issues -- and when you haul GASOLINE, the one thing a fleet CANNOT have is ISSUES, especially SAFETY issues.
There has got to be some way for the trucking industry as a whole to police its own -- we can't just palm that off on law enforcement. Sure, it's their job to get the bad drivers and companies off the roads -- but WE can do more. And we need to do more -- an accident like Mosqueda's fireball isn't just an image issue; people could have been killed in large numbers, much less Mosqueda himself. If a carrier or driver has a problem, there's got to be a way for the industry to step in and help -- before a terrible tragedy occurs on the roadway.
It's also important to recognize, too, that most fleets out there -- but especially the hazmat folks -- are doing it right every day. And give kudos for the Tri-Valley Herald for reporting that in their coverage: "The fact that no trucking concern had ever lost its ability to carry hazardous materials speaks highly of the safety record for those (trucking companies) that are out there," Capt. Rob Patrick, commander of the CHP's commercial vehicle section, told the paper.
You can't ask for higher praise than that.

(CNN) -- A car bomb exploded Wednesday in Egypt's restive Sinai region, killing 10 soldiers and injuring 31 others who were on their way to the capital on leave.
State media reports said a suicide bomber set off the blast as two minibuses carrying infantry soldiers were passing by.
Last month, a suicide bomber blew up a car in Egypt's Sinai, killing four security officers and wounding four others. And a bombing that targeted a military intelligence building bordering on the Sinai, wounded at least six soldiers.
No claim of responsibility has been reported in Wednesday's attack.
Islamist militants have become more active in the Sinai in recent years.
The Egyptian revolution of 2011 that toppled strongman President Hosni Mubarak brought a resurgence of Islamists whom his military regime had repressed for decades.
This included more moderate factions like the Muslim Brotherhood, which swept into power when Mohamed Morsy became President in Egypt's first democratic elections.
But it also included extremists, some suspected of having affiliations with al Qaeda. In the Sinai, they called for the establishment of an Islamist caliphate.
The Egyptian military began cracking down on them again.
In July, when the military ousted Morsy in a coup, Islamist extremists in the Sinai saw it as an attack against Islam and have stepped up their assaults, particularly against soldiers and military installations.
Egypt's Morsy says he's still the legitimate president

Nourishing the Planet's Carol Dreibelbis spoke recently with Jonty Whittleton, senior campaign manager at Compassion in World Farming (CIWF), a U.K.-based organization working to end factory farming and promote animal welfare, about his involvement with the Raw campaign. The Raw campaign focuses on exposing the true cost of factory farming and building a movement for alternative food and farming solutions.
Jonty Whittleton, senior campaign manager at Compassion in World Farming (Photo credit: Jonty Whittleton).
I jumped at the opportunity to join Raw. The campaign is well-aligned with my interests and presents a unique opportunity to create positive change. Fighting factory farming lets you tackle a host of environmental, social, and ethical challenges at the same time. Plus I love food, so championing tastier, healthier, higher-quality food is second nature to me!
What, in your opinion, are the most serious impacts of factory farming?
Factory farming has an impact on animals as well as on people and the planet, at a local, national, and international scale. The primary impetus for Compassion in World Farming is to end animal cruelty, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Factory farming is a chronic, worldwide problem: it is linked to antibiotic resistance, obesity, devastated communities, and choked, polluted waterways.
This is the beauty of Raw. Whether you're an environmentalist, a humanitarian, or both, the fight against factory farming concerns you.
What strategies does Raw use to improve the global food system?
Raw is a long-term movement with an ambition to stamp out factory farming. We recognize that we won't achieve widespread change overnight. Our first goal is to convince a critical mass of decision makers and the public that factory farming is a failed system of food production. Our work can be broken down into three distinct areas:
- Campaigns aimed at communicating critical food and farming issues in compelling ways, with the objective of capturing minds and encouraging focused action;
- Networking with relevant opinion and decision makers, and finding opportunities to collaborate; and
- Recruiting famous individuals who believe in the mission of Raw and are interested in spreading inspirational messages.
In the future, we would like to expand our networks into other countries where we see a real need for Raw. Compassion already has feet on the ground in the United States, France and the Netherlands. We would also like to broaden the Raw supporter base and deepen the level of interaction.
Raw is working toward a food and farming revolution. What would the global food system look if this were achieved?
Factory farming prioritizes maximum production at the expense of the welfare of animals, people, and the planet. Our vision is a world where all have access to sufficient, nutritious food produced by humane, sustainable farming systems. These systems would protect the environment, support livelihoods in developed and developing countries, and meet our needs without wasting precious resources.
What agricultural innovations have you seen in your work that are making food production more sustainable?
One innovation that we have been following is lab-grown meat, which is in fairly early stages of development and remains controversial. We believe that lab-grown meat has the potential to feed the world's meat eaters while massively cutting the number of animals farmed worldwide and, therefore, diminishing the impacts associated with factory farming.
And if we provide farmers—some of the greatest innovators known to man—with the right policies and incentives, they will surely find more sustainable and humane ways to do business.
How can our readers help make the food system safer, fairer, and greener?
It's easy to feel despondent given the vast scale of the task as hand, but we all have the power to help kick start a food and farming revolution. We can vote for better food three times a day, sending a clear signal to retailers and producers that we believe in better food and farming. I have tried cutting out meat, but my current mantra is to enjoy smaller amounts of higher quality meat. That way, you often don't have to spend any more and you get to truly enjoy and take pride in your food. There are also a vast number of organizations fighting for a better food system—whatever your interest, now is the time to get involved. And you can always choose how involved you want to be; whether you want to lobby decision makers, donate a few dollars, or just watch a video, the choice is yours. Here's to a food and farming revolution!

Carol Dreibelbis is a former research intern with the Worldwatch Institute's Food and Agriculture Program.

I'm not sure we have a consensus on what the word spicy means for wine. We hit the same problem with that strange word, smooth. Smooth as a descriptor seems to have teleported in from old cigarette ads, and it's not exactly clear that the word describes. But what smooth lacks in precision, it gains in salesmanship. Not long ago, at a wine tasting, my friend John said to me, "If I owned two vineyards, I'd name one Spicy, and the other Smooth. I'd make ten million dollars." Clearly, John has a mind for marketing.
For spice, the confusion likely stems from the fact that the word refers to three different kinds of experiences, and each has a different origin.
The first, and probably the easiest to recognize in a glass, is the appearance of black or white pepper flavors. These are most associated with wines made from the Syrah grape, especially those from the northern part of France's Rhone valley. In 2008, the Australian Wine Research Institute figured out that the culprit is a chemical compound called Rotundone, which is present in both Syrah and in peppercorns.
The second type of spice is related to the first. Syrah's peppery Rotundone fits into a class of aromatic compounds called terpenes. These compounds create floral scents in plants, and they exist in many wine grapes, too. Riesling, Viognier, and Gewurztraminer are all endowed with their share of terpenes, and the notes can be direct enough that we can call them spicy (the Germans go ahead and commit to the word; würz in Gewürztraminer is the German word for spice).
A third (and probably most common) way we encounter spice in a wine has to do with that smell and flavor of new oak barrels, which impart flavors that remind us of baking spices like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. Wines that carry strong smells of oak, like Rioja or certain styles of Zinfandel, are good demonstrations of this effect. And I cannot be sure, but I've heard that they can be smooth, too...

Drug firm to stay at Matrix Center
DANBURY -- Mayor Mark Boughton and Matrix Corporate Center officials announced Tuesday that Boehringer Ingelheim, one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies, has renewed its 10-year lease at the center, a move worth $90 million that saves about 900 jobs.
Aaron Smiles, operations director for the center, said the lease for about 327,000 square feet is likely the largest in the Connecticut-New York region, with the exception of Manhattan.
"This is a major hold for us," Boughton said during a press conference Tuesday at the Matrix center. "Boehringer Ingelheim has lots of choices about where to invest their dollars, and we are very happy they want to invest those dollars here."
Boehringer Ingleheim first opened its doors at the Matrix in 2003. It has marketing operations and patent attorneys at the site, Smiles said.
The company also has a research and design building hugging the Danbury-Ridgefield border and embarked on a $100 million expansion of that facility about two years ago.
Boughton said the new lease comes after more than a year of negotiations with the company, Matrix representatives and city officials.
"Any major real estate transaction can be a long and complicated process," said Bruce Tuomala, the city's economic development director.
He added that having a company such as Boehringer Ingelheim under its roof will help the Matrix facility retain tenants and attract additional ones in the future.
Smiles said the 1.2-million-square-foot corporate center is about 70 percent occupied.
He added that officials are negotiating with two other companies that are each interested in leasing about 200,000 square feet. One of the companies, if it signs on, could bring as many as 1,200 to 1,500 new employees to the city.
Boughton said he hopes to make an announcement about a new tenant within three months.
The Matrix Realty Group purchased the corporate center, once the world headquarters for Union Carbide, in 2009.
Nelson said Tuesday the Boehringer Ingelheim deal is one of the largest "single lease transaction," in the state in recent years.
"It's a further indication that Matrix Corporate Center is a premiere corporate destination for companies of all sizes," Nelson said.

When it comes to phablets, Samsung basically pioneered the category with the original Galaxy Note. Many thought the device would flop, but it was really successful. The next year, Samsung released the Galaxy Note II, which I personally still use to this day. These large devices with a built-in stylus have so much versatility and surprising popularity that Samsung has announced the new Galaxy Note 3!
The new Galaxy Note 3 is now larger than the previous model, with a 5.7-inch full HD Super AMOLED display to replace the previous 5.5-inch Note II. However, Samsung kept the width of the device the same by using slimmer bezels. So, the size of the device stays about the same. It will be thinner at 8.3mm and will only weigh 168g. With a change of heart, Samsung has made the back a leather sort of material instead of shiny plastic.
The S Pen has also been improved. It has taken on a slightly different design, but the functionality has been massively improved. And by improved, I mean Samsung added a ton of features. The first is Air Command, a radial menu that pops up when you hover the pen over the screen and press the button. It offers five options, including Action Memo. Action Memo allows you to perform actions like adding numbers to contacts and searching addresses on a map.
They have also redesigned multitasking for the larger display. Multi Window now allows you to have two windows open for the same app. This allows you to chat with two people at once in ChatON, for example. You can also drag and drop things between the two windows, which is an awesome addition. Pen Window allows you to draw a box and have a quick app pop up in your chosen size, like a calculator.
In terms of specs, you'll be getting a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 quad core processor on the LTE model paired with 3GB of RAM. It's a real powerhouse. And finally, Samsung has made the minimum storage 32GB as well as included microSD slot. The audio has been improved, allowing playback of 24 bit 192khz audio. Throw in Category 4 LTE and a large 3,200 mAh battery, and you have an amazing device.
The rear camera is a 13MP BSI sensor with Smart Stabilization and can shoot 4K video at 30FPS, 1080p video at 60 FPS (on some models), and 720p video at 120 FPS slow motion. It also has a high CRI LED flash to help with better low light shots. The front camera is a 1.9MP BSI sensor, also with Smart Stabilization.
There are a bunch of software features; surprisingly few, in fact, considering how much Samsung usually packs into its devices. Multi Vision lets you combine multiple Note 3s to make a larger screen for watching video, which seems a bit of a gimmick to me. There are also new and redesigned apps like My Magazine and S Note.
The device will be coming out September 25 for many countries and will appear in October for the US and Japan. A lot of us will have to wait. As a Note II user, I'm very impressed. Are you?

Skip to comments.Cap-And-Traitors
Posted on 06/11/2010 5:46:01 PM PDT by Kaslin
Politics: The Senate just claimed the title of the world's most delusional body by refusing to strip unelected EPA bureaucrats of the power to regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant. This was the day freedom died.
One wonders why we have a Congress at all. The 53 profiles in cowardice that could not get a cap-and-tax bill through the U.S. Senate voted Thursday to let the Environmental Protection Agency keep the unprecedented power Congress did not expressly give it. It is power that the EPA arrogated to itself through regulation to control every aspect of the American economy and our very lives.
This country was born over anger at taxation without representation. Regulation without representation may spark another revolt come November. The Tea Party movement began precisely because of such arrogant disregard for the wishes of the American people. Unlike health care reform, this time the cowardly lions of the Senate couldn't even do it themselves and ceded their authority to the EPA.
It was only a motion to proceed to consideration of Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski's resolution (S.J. Res. 26) which, under a forgotten provision of the Contract With America, lets legislators veto a "major rule" by any regulatory agency within 60 days of publication. It needed just 51 votes; it got 47.
All 41 Republicans, including newbie Scott Brown of Massachusetts, voted not to shred the Constitution. The motion attracted, for various reasons, the votes of six Democrats Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln, Ben Nelson, Mark Pryor, the departing Evan Bayh and even Jay Rockefeller, who for once chose jobs over ideology.

Traitorous bastards! There will be a reckoning. Vote the cretins OUT!
Most of these Senate Democrats are too stupid to realize the Obama administration is gradually making Congress totally impotent and eventually not needed.
Here in Michigan we need to start forcing our GOP legislators to hold firm. When we hold one house, nothing bad gets done without GOP help.
Fortunately they appear to be worrying about past votes which means they're taking some well deserved heat.
Welcome to rule by political commissars.
Only the form, the shell of our republic remains.
Looks like another Middle Class Tax Increase.
Pray for America
Claire McCaskill.
Ike Skelton in the House.
and there it is...
Of course they didn't. They WANT cap and trade to destroy the US and don't care how they get it.
Liberty is threatened as the U.S. Senate surrenders its power to the unelected bureaucrats at the EPA.
"There will be a reckoning. Vote the cretins OUT!"
You forgot the electorate who put them there.
They love the totalitarian stance and they love it when progressives say they're "fighting" for the "people".
These "cretins" know exactly what they're doing and they're laughing all the way to the bank and will be laughing when they see the results at the polls.

The promise of "opportunity" is embedded in the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." But the opportunity to enjoy life freely, to pursue happiness, to better one's self and one's circumstances is not self-evident to people for whom certain forms of discrimination are an unassailable tradition.
Such is the case, for instance, when a school administrator or teacher is so vested in maintaining their inherent superiority, power and control that inculcated bias against certain students is rendered invisible in the name of "discipline." Nor is it self-evident that such discipline sourced in conscious or unconscious racism, sexism or homophobia can further exacerbate existing socio-economic difficulty in a student gaining access to opportunity, thus unwittingly eviscerating that student's chance – and fundamental right - to the pursuit of happiness.
But while Torlakson is a staunch LGBT ally, his report did not include data on sexual orientation or gender identity, nor did it mention the impact on LGBT students – even though "willful defiance" can also be used by a culturally incompetent or biased school official to include such behavior as a lesbian student holding hands with her girlfriend or a gender nonconforming student breaking the school's dress code, according to the Gay Straight Alliance Network.
It therefore becomes incumbent on LGBT students and their allies to fight on the frontlines of ignorance—creating their own opportunities by challenging and educating those who can cite the Declaration of Independence by heart but have no clue as to its meaning. That was the call answered by about 70 high school students on Monday, April 29 as they ventured to Sacramento for three days of leadership training—highlighted by the 8th annual Queer Youth Advocacy Day. GSA Network, the ACLU/SoCal, Equality California, the Transgender Law Center, the Trevor Project, and California NOW sponsored the educational event.
The LGBT and allied high school students also rallied in support of Assemblymember Tom Ammiano's School Success and Opportunity Act (AB 1266). This bill "would ensure that schools understand their responsibility to allow transgender students to fully participate in school activities, programs, and facilities in a way that is consistent with their gender identity," according to a GSA Network press release.
"All students should have the opportunity to succeed in school no matter who they are, but that's not the reality in California," said Carolyn Laub, Executive Director of GSA Network. "These brave youth leaders came to Sacramento to demand an end to unreasonable discipline policies and exclusionary school practices that punish LGBT students and push them out of school."

A Window Into Lawmakers' Souls
(The following article first appeared in the Winter/Spring 2006 edition of Impact.)
Legislation can reveal a lot about the lawmakers who propose it and how they regard people.
Take a new ordinance in Bridgeport, Conn., that requires coat hooks in public restrooms. Press reports indicate the mandate's originator, City Councilman Keith Rodgerson, said no one should have to leave belongings on a public restroom floor.
I share his dislike of dirty floors. But I could never support, much less initiate, a legal requirement for coat hooks in a commode without demeaning every citizen who has ever solved a problem on his or her own. It's an insult to behave as if people lacked sufficient strength to decide which public restrooms to patronize, what to carry inside, when to ask a manager to add coat hooks — or in the worst case, when actually to endure the horror of touching a coat to the floor.
Stay Engaged
The people I know are stronger than paternalistic lawmakers assume. Let me tell you about a remarkable friend.
He's modest, so I'll call him "Steve" (not his real name). After 10 years with the same employer, Steve lost his job. It was a white-collar position that provided a middle-class income for him, his wife and their five children. Given the circumstances of his termination, he might justifiably have sued or demanded special consideration. Instead, he simply cooperated with his successors and departed gracefully.
Rather than sign up for welfare or unemployment, he took the midnight shift at Wal-Mart. He wanted to set an example for his children, draw minimally on his family's savings and continue to pay the mortgage, utility and food bills. He had to swallow his pride more than once, including the times he cheerfully rang up the purchases of old officemates and his former supervisor's wife.
Steve's job search lasted many months. His family stopped going to movies and restaurants and even ate less meat to conserve cash. With difficulty, he accepted charity from friends and family. All the while, he kept his spirits high. Wal-Mart promoted him and asked him to consider management.
Ultimately, Steve uprooted his family and moved out of state to accept a better job than the one he lost. He was so well-liked by his Wal-Mart co-workers that some of them cried the day he left.
Would it ever occur to Steve to demand a government-guaranteed restroom coat hook?
True, not everyone possesses Steve's strength of character. But should lawmakers treat people as if they possessed so little?
Michigan may not yet mandate coat hooks, but paternalistic Lansing Democrats and Republicans alike are proposing new licensing schemes for interior designers, athletic trainers, tanning booths and other less-than-mortal threats to our safety.
A government that encompasses everything is fit only for people incapable of anything. Free societies limit government force. The Mackinac Center helps remind lawmakers of that fact.

Protein and Muscle Development
The strength-to-weight ratio is critically important in virtually all athletic endeavors, so athletes are rightly interested in ways to improve or sustain muscle mass. Athletes and their coaches commonly believe the central nutrition strategy for achieving this is to increase protein consumption. However, assuming caloric needs are met, the anabolic maximum for protein is reached at an intake level of approximately 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of mass. Clearly, if there is a relationship between protein consumption and muscle mass, it must be related to other factors including the type of exercise performed relative to the amount and type of protein consumed, the within-day distribution of protein consumed, and the coingestion of protein with other nutrients. There are, of course, also limitations in how well different populations may hope to enhance musculature, even when optimal nutrition strategies are coupled with appropriate resistance activities. Aging reduces the responses of muscle fibers and the anabolic signaling response to resistance exercise. Although few differences exist between the muscular responses of young women and young men to acute exercise, the muscular responses of older women may be blunted more than in older men.
The timed distribution of protein from food within a day has been assessed, with findings that clearly indicate improved muscle maintenance and enlargement when large peaks and valleys in protein consumption are avoided. Findings suggest that 90 grams of protein (enough to provide 1.5 grams per kilogram for a 60-kilogram, or 132-pound, person) was inadequate to sustain muscle mass when the protein intake (from foods) was postloaded so that most of the protein was consumed during the evening meal. However, when the same amount of protein was evenly redistributed to provide an equal amount (30 grams) of protein at each meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), the studied population was able to sustain and, in some cases, even increase muscle mass. The timing of nutrient ingestion also influences the anabolic response of muscle after exercise. Amino acid uptake is greater when free essential amino acids and carbohydrate are ingested before rather than after resistance exercise. However, consumption of whey protein (a whole-food protein) increased amino acid balance from negative to positive regardless of whether it was consumed before or after exercise.
There is a common misunderstanding that extra protein intake alone will support a larger muscle mass, and this theory is the main rationale for the large protein intakes seen in many athletes. In fact, additional total calories are required to support a larger muscle mass, and protein should constitute the same relative proportion of the extra calories consumed. For instance, if a 75-kilogram (165 pound) man wishes to increase his muscle mass by 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds), he would need to consume approximately 1.5 additional grams of protein for each kilogram of muscle mass desired. This amounts to only 4.5 grams of additional protein to support the larger muscle mass. By contrast, 30 grams per kilogram of additional carbohydrate, or 90 grams of additional carbohydrate in total, is required to support the larger muscle mass. Here is the total additional caloric requirement represented by the additional muscle:
Of course, this athlete would also need to stimulate muscle enlargement by undertaking the appropriate strength-building exercises. Otherwise, the extra calories would manifest themselves as stored fat rather than additional muscle. It is likely that the large amount of protein consumed by so many athletes represents the extra calories they require to maintain or enlarge the muscle mass. Although it is certainly possible to use protein as a primary energy source, it is not the most desirable source because of the nitrogenous wastes produced with protein oxidation. In addition, protein can be an expensive source of calories when provided in supplement form. For instance, eggs (an extremely high-quality source of protein) cost approximately 13 cents per 8 grams of protein, while protein capsules cost approximately $1.20 per 8 grams of protein and may be of questionable quality.
The coingestion of protein and carbohydrate has been assessed to determine if this enhances muscular protein update. One study found that trained men who ingested carbohydrate at the upper end of the recommended level to improve endurance performance (about 8 to 10 grams per kilogram) experienced no enhancement in skeletal muscle energy delivery with the addition of protein. On the other hand, when protein was ingested with carbohydrate during recovery from aerobic exercise, it had the effect of increasing muscle synthesis and improving whole-body net protein balance when compared with an equal caloric load of carbohydrate alone. It has also been demonstrated that an inadequate level of carbohydrate intake compromises skeletal muscle protein utilization and synthesis.
To summarize, building muscle involves more than simply increasing protein and amino acid intakes. It involves the following:

If you were going to build a college football team through a draft and your draft pool consisted of the Florida Gators, who would be your top 10 players off the board?
If you were going to build a college football team through a draft and your draft pool consisted of the Florida Gators, who would you pick first? Who would be your top 10 players off the board?
There are a lot of different ways to go with this.
Here's what we would do:
* 1. Loucheiz Purifoy, cornerback: The obvious No. 1 overall pick because he's a potential game-changer in all three phases of the game — offense, defense and special teams. Purifoy spent the first half of the spring at wide receiver and showed enough playmaking ability that the coaches are going to have an offensive package for him in the fall. With his size (6-foot-1, 185 pounds), speed and hands, he could give the Gators a downfield threat they've been missing. He's also potentially UF's best defensive player and best special teams player. Purifoy is the total package, the kind of player you build a team around.
* 2. Jeff Driskel, quarterback: Can anyone ever remember a good team that didn't have a good quarterback? Although Driskel struggled with consistency and decision-making at times last season, the coaches seem sold on him. He's a dual-threat quarterback who can make big plays with his arm and his legs. If the skill players around him play better, which the coaches are anticipating, Driskel could emerge as one of the league's most dynamic offensive players.
* 3. Dominique Easley, defensive tackle: He brings a lot to the table. Experience. Passion. Leadership. Strength. Versatility. His lightning-quick first step gives him a chance to make big plays and disrupt an offense in a lot of different ways. And he can go from defensive end and tackle.
* 4. Marcus Roberson, cornerback: Every good defense needs a lock-down cover corner, and that's what this guy is. He can cover the opponent's best wide receiver man-to-man, which can take all kinds of stress off the defense and put it on the quarterback. He's added weight and strength and should be more effective disrupting routes. He also can change a game with his ability as a punt returner.
* 5. Dante Fowler, defensive end: He had an impact as a true freshman last season and seems primed to take his game to another level now with experience. Fowler has great lower body strength and explosive speed off the edge, qualities that give him a chance to emerge as an elite pass rusher.
* 6. Matt Jones, tailback: For an offense that desires to run the ball downhill, Jones seems like a near perfect fit at tailback. He's big (almost 230 pounds), strong and also has the cutting ability and speed to turn a five-yard gain into a 75-yard touchdown run. He's coming off an impressive spring in which he distanced himself from the other tailback candidates. He has the hands to be an effective weapon catching the ball out of the backfield. His upside is way up there.
* 7. Antonio Morrison, middle linebacker: Strong defense starts up the middle, and Morrison is one of those guys who can anchor the inside of a defense. Not only is he a very instinctive player who plays the game with great passion. He also has shown he can change a game with his explosive striking ability (something FSU quarterback EJ Manuel can attest to). After establishing himself as a true freshman last season, Morrison has a chance to develop into an elite SEC defensive player.
* 8. Ronald Powell, Buck: Had he not injured his knee in the 2012 spring game and undergone two ACL surgeries in the last year, Powell very well could be sitting on the top of this list at No. 1. Powell was starting to emerge as an elite defensive player before he was hurt. If can overcome the expected mental hurdles and pick up where he left off in the spring of 2012, Powell could be a dynamic player at linebacker and defensive end.
* 9. Trey Burton, wide receiver/fullback/quarterback: Burton doesn't do any one thing great, but he does a lot of things very well. His versatility is a huge factor when you start talking about how to attack a defense. He can make plays at wide receiver and running back, and if you want to run the Wildcat formation, he's your guy at quarterback. Offensive players with Burton's versatility are hard to find.
* 10. Kyle Christy, punter: When you can change field position like this guy can, he's clearly a top-10 player on any team. He was perhaps Florida's most consistent weapon last season, the way he consistently flipped field position and impacted games.

What to CookBrussels Sprout
Dinner Tonight: Grilled Brussels Sprouts + Merguez
Tonight, a rustic, minimalistic dinner -- uncomplicated, unadulterated food that looks like and tastes of precisely what it is. Assertively spiced merguez perks up senses dulled by the winter's chill with its red hot heat. Brussels sprouts, treated with a delicate hand, bring a slight and pleasing bitterness that complements the richness of the lamb in a just-so sort of way. All in all, a winner. Ready, as always, in just about an hour.
The Menu
Click through on the recipe photos or titles to see (and save and print) the full recipes, but we've also written you a handy grocery list and game plan below.
Grilled Brussels Sprouts by kitchenwitchcookie
Lamb Merguez by MrsWheelbarrow
Serves 4
1 pound ground lamb shoulder
Fresh ginger
Anise seed
24 (or so) brussels sprouts
We bet you have olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, turmeric, coriander, garlic, onion powder, and celery salt. If not, you'll need those too!
1. The sausage needs to rest for about an hour before you serve it, so definitely attack it first. It's a pretty simple process -- particularly if you buy ground lamb shoulder (or ask your butcher to do it for you). Since it's a weeknight, take the shortcut!
2. Now for the sprouts! Just a quick boil to ensure tender insides, followed by a good drizzle of oil and salt and pepper. Now, if you have a grill pan, this is a great moment to break it out (rather than the actual grill, unless you're feeling ambitious, in which case feel free!). Another approach would be to simply roast them in a hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes, instead of grilling. We promise they'll be almost as tasty.
3. While the sprouts grill (or roast), form the merguez patties and cook gently in a pan.
4. Serve!
