BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) - The following is a commentary blog from FOX6 Sports Director Rick Karle:
Perhaps it was the fact that Alabama's new offensive coordinator was coaching from the sideline.
Perhaps it was that screen grab with less than two minutes remaining in the first quarter that went viral.
As I watched Alabama dispose of West Virginia on Saturday, Nick Saban looked like a concerned father ready to lay a butt-whoopin' on his son for arriving home from a date an hour late.
While OC Lane Kiffin is indeed young enough to be Saban's son (there is a 24-year age difference), I must say that while Kiffin bashers are looking for every reason to hate, I'm thinking this unique pairing just might work out.
You know Nick Saban has to bristle when he sees national networks feature stories titled "Alabama's Odd Couple." One coach testy and often despised by certain fan bases, the other coach testy and often despised by certain fan bases.
Reality? These guys know more about football than the combined population of the 205--and those who hate may just see the Crimson Tide roll into the final four later this season.
Early last week, Saban said that he would not interfere with Kiffin's play calling. Oh, he'd be there as a sounding board and always ready to give advice (as in, "Uh, Lane, how about trying the no-huddle, I think Blake may be more comfortable with that.")
Still, it appeared to many watching Saturday's game that Saban took his Jerry Jones pill before the game. Could that be why Saban came to Kiffin's defense in his post-game news conference?
His voice level rising, his expression dead serous, said Saban after the 33-23 win, "You know, the guy's a really good coach now. You guys need to fess up to that. Most places that don't like him, it's because he left, and they were mad because he left. They weren't mad because of anything he did while he was there."
There it was, right out in the open: Nick Saban reminding the world that his OC is a really good coach (Raiders 5-15, Tennessee 7-6, but I digress). After a ten point win. After the first game of the season.
And you know something? I believe Saban is right. Lane Kiffin can coach in his current role, and he proved it Saturday. Think about it: This 39-year-old took a first-time starting quarterback and helped the Tide gain 538 yards.
Blake Sims went 24-33, 250 yards through the air, setting an all-time UA record for number of attempts and completions in a game for a first-time starter.
Kiffin saw TJ Yeldon run for 126 yards. He saw Derrick Henry run for 113 yards. He used Sims in the pistol, giving his QB a few more split seconds to make decisions.
He had Sims target Amari Cooper, his 12 receptions vs WVU just one catch off the all-time single game mark set by DJ Hall back in 2007.
And he did it with none other than one of the most intimidating head coaches in America hovering over him like a 12-year old ready to grab some Little Debbies out of Kiffin's lunch box.
Will Lane Kiffin eventually head to the press box to call plays? Will he remain on the sideline?
If Kiffin continues to lead this smash-mouth offense to the promise land he can call plays from the student section.
And to all of the Lane Kiffin haters? The Bama OC, together will his new boss that helps form Bama's odd couple, may just have the last laugh.

It's a line used by older Jewish men that happens to be very appropriate for my topic tonight, which is whining about how much work I have to do -- or rather, the steps involved in pre-promotion of a book.
When I started this blog, I did it because I had learned in a conference that the first and most important thing that someone who intends to self-publish a book needs to do is start a blog, start a following, develop an audience. So tonight I get to have an audience for my moaning about how much work I have to do while also providing what I hope is some useful and interesting information.
When people asked me if I had a website for the book, I said "sure," and provided the blog address. I know that they are different, but I thought one could substitute for the other. The website (which I have now committed to creating) will be more of a static site; most of the information will remain the same, unless there is 'news,' whereas the blog needs to updated with some regularity. (And I apologize to anyone who finds my entries too 'wordy;' you're absolutely right -- they are -- but you should see my text messages).
So I'm about to create a website. I got my domain name: theaccidentalanarchist.com (don't forget to use "the" when you search for it so as not to get confused with a 10 year-old book with a way too similar title "An" Accidental Anarchist). That was step 1. Step 2 is to lay out all my pages, or what those pages will be when I have all the content. (And as you can tell from my logorrhea (per Merriam-Webster: "excessive and often incoherent talkativeness or wordiness," aka 'diarrhea of the mouth') coming up with content shouldn't be too hard. In hearing talk about website content at the recent conference I attended, it seems that I need an online press kit, which should contain multimedia content. I was already going to post the 2-minute (2:10 if we're being picky) presentation that I gave at the Jewish Book Council, and I've basically conceded that I will have to create a book trailer (about which, more later). And I can write all the publicity materials needed; that's the benefit of having done it for some many other people for many years.
Beyond the home page, which I imagine will have links to where you can buy or download the book (in October), there will be some information about me (either in large type or with a lot of graphics since there isn't a lot I need to say), stuff about my grandfather (almost everything I know about him is in the book -- in fact, that's the only way I know him,although my mother has started recording some of her memories of him; maybe some of that content will go up there. A page about my father, who worked on the book before me,and there's a lot more to say about him; loads of links online, most particularly because he had worked on the original Star Trek, and those fans are loyal. At some point, when I have some speaking engagements lined up, like at the Jewish Book Fairs (I hope many of them will invite me; otherwise, I may offer to pay my own transportation to get to certain cities; I've been wanting to see a friend in Birmingham, AL, for a long time, anyway, and Birmingham has a reasonably sized Jewish community: Jim, if you're reading this, call your local Jewish Community Center (JCC), which probably organizes it, and ask them to invite me as a speaker; in fact, everyone who's reading this -- please contact your local JCC and ask to speak to the Jewish Book Fair coordinator and do the same. If Birmingham, AL can have a Jewish Book Fair, your community probably does, too). I'm in Miami several times a year, anyway, to visit my number one son, and will be in NY much more often where I can visit my number two son. There's someone I'd like to meet in Knoxville, TN, as well as people I want to see again in New Haven and Boston. And might as well connect with a friend in St. Paul, MN, and as long as these events take place in the late fall, it's a nice time of year to visit Arizona.
And I don't know if it's appropriate use of a website, but I'd love to devote a page to my boys -- posting one son's sports writing and event management news, and the other's CD releases and tour dates. Did I mention that I was going to ask the younger one to write the score for my book trailer? The older one designed the logo for my publishing company. (And I can get really loquacious when I talk about how proud I am of these boys).
But the point of this entry was that I wanted to complain about how much I've had to do. So there's the planning of the website, which, as I've described it above, doesn't sound too hard (since someone else will be doing the coding and building in the analytics); creating a book trailer, which, now that I have a killer concept, ought to be fun; and writing the content for each of the pages, which I can draw from so many other things I've written in or about the book. There's also an essay I want to write about the process of writing, editing, completing and publishing the diaries that I'm hoping to publish in something with a wide circulation -- just in time for the book's release. I still need blurbs through the back cover; I have one committed, and someone else in mind. I'm sending out the advanced review copies (ARCs, in book publishing parlance) to various publications. I've read that you need to send out 20 copies; I think I've sent out about 8 so far; I take my time in evaluating the publications to which I send them, and craft a 'hook' unique to the particular editor or publication that I hope will get them to pick my book from among the dozens or more vying for each slot in a review publication. At least one thing I have working in my favor -- I can give them the 4 month lead-time that the publications prefer. Plus I need to hit ones representing difference niches: Biography readers, people interested in history, Jewish readers, people who enjoy humor, libraries, and academics who might consider the book for their curriculum in military history, Russian history, Asian history, Jewish history, etc. -- lots of niches, some of which I won't even begin to market to until 2011.
My point to night is that there is a lot to do in marketing a book. I think of it like a Presidential election. There may be national advertising (well, not for me) but basically a candidate has to earn each vote one at a time.
Thanks for being the audience for tonight's rant. If I don't quit now,I won't be able to get up in a few hours and start the process all over again.

Video warning against teen dating abuse wins honor for Lake Zurich High students
Four Lake Zurich High School students were honored Friday for their work on a video addressing the issue of teen dating abuse.
Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon joined Vickie Smith, CEO of the Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and Verizon Wireless executives in presenting sophomores Kasia Konsor, Kati Stavropoulos and Amanda Buckstaff and senior Ian Hesch with iPads for their winning entry in the "No More Teen Dating Abuse" video contest.
Lake Zurich High School received $1,000 for its involvement in the first of what is expected to become an annual statewide contest. Students from all Illinois high schools last fall were invited to submit videos promoting healthy relationships in a contest sponsored by Verizon and coordinated by the ICADV and Simon's office.
"Our students are never too young to learn about healthy relationships, and often that message is stronger when it comes from your peers," Simon said in a statement. "This contest draws attention to teen dating violence and will hopefully spur conversations in high schools across the state that violence is never OK."
The video was not part of a class project but done outside of school, according to Jean Malek, Lake Zurich Unit District 95 spokeswoman.
The contest was to produce a 30-second spot that could be used as a public service announcement. It will be distributed to media outlets and posted on the ICADV and high school websites, she added.
"If you could rewind it, would you see the signs?" the narrator asks to open the winning entry. Among signs of an abusive relationship are control, violence, anger, disrespect, obsession and jealousy viewers are told. "Or would you hold on to what you thought was love?"
The message is to say no to abuse and yes to a healthy relationship.
Information from the ICADV shows dating abuse is common: One in three adolescents in the U.S. is a victim of physical, sexual, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner, and nearly one quarter of all high school girls have been victims of physical or sexual abuse, according to the statistics.
Domestic violence can start at any age, according to Vicki Smith, CEO of ICADV, and the video is a small step in the fight against it.

Kliff Kingsbury will try to stay perfect as a head coach as his 25th-ranked Texas Tech Raiders host the undefeated Texas State Bobcats for a Lone Star State showdown at Jones AT&T Stadium.
TTU will be facing Texas State for the third time and looking to stay undefeated against the Bobcats. The Red Raiders coasted to a 58-10 decision when these teams clashed last season.
Texas State had an extra week to prepare for its Big 12 foe as it had a bye after its 28-7 victory over Prairie View A&M in week two. The program is 2-0 for the first time since 2005 thanks to the win. Coach Dennis Franchione guided his squad to a 22-15 decision at Southern Miss in the season opener as well. The Bobcats are in their first campaign as a member of the Sun Belt Conference. They went 4-8 last season in their first season as an FBS program and only year in the Western Athletic Conference.
Senior QB Tyler Arndt will lead TSU's offense into Lubbock after passing for 258 yards on 27-of-39 efficiency in his first two games. Arndt saw some action against TTU last year and finished 5-of-9 for 37 yards off the bench. The passing attack that yields only 150 ypg to rank 110th out of 123 FBS programs does not have a standout receiver. Bradley Miller is the most productive player on the squad with 35.5 receiving yards and three catches per game.
The Bobcats punished Prairie View A&M with their rushing attack in week two as they amassed 242 yards and four touchdowns on 43 carries. Chris Nutall was unstoppable as he piled up 132 yards and two touchdowns on just eight attempts. The sophomore tailback was bottled up and held to only 37 yards on 10 rushes by USM in the opener.
Defensively, TSU has played well against inferior competition in its first two games. It did allow Golden Eagles QB Allan Bridgford to throw for a career- high 377 yards in week one, which could be a sign of bad things to come against the Red Raiders' elite aerial assault, which is ranked fifth in the FBS. Junior linebacker David Mayo is the leader of the Bobcats' defense with 14 tackles and two interceptions. Colorado State transfer Michael Orakpo has already forced three fumbles.
Since taking over at his alma mater, Kingsbury has led the Red Raiders to three consecutive wins over SMU (41-23), Stephen F. Austin (61-13) and TCU (20-10), despite entering the season without any quarterbacks with at least one career start. Baker Mayfield became the first walk-on true freshman to start a season opener at a BCS school in week one against the Mustangs.
Mayfield was sensational to start off his career, completing 85-of-130 attempts for 996 yards with eight touchdowns to eight interceptions. TTU has averaged 40.7 points and 509.3 yards of total offense through its first three games with its high-octane passing attack. Mayfield had a rough outing against TCU, going 21-of-40 for 216 yards with one TD to three interceptions before being knocked out with an injury late in the fourth quarter.
Fellow freshman QB Davis Webb stepped in and led the Red Raiders on a nine- play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 19-yard touchdown pass to Brad Marquez. With Mayfield questionable for this week, Webb may get his first career start after his impressive stint versus the Horned Frogs.
"(Webb) provided a big spark," said Marquez on the rookie passer's performance in his debut. "He was prepared for the situation and it's credit to his preparation to be able to come in there at that point in time in the game to be able to come in there and do the job that he did. You know, there was no falloff, and definitely a spark for all of us and for him to control the game for us."
Whichever passer is in the pocket for TTU they will be looking towards Jace Amaro, who leads the team with 20 receptions and 281 yards. Eric Ward, Jakeem Grant and Marquez all have double-digit catch totals and at least 153 yards receiving apiece.
While TTU has little trouble moving the ball through the air, it has seen very little success in its running game. It gained only 43 yards on 26 carries against TCU and still does not have a player with 100 rushing yards on the season.
The Red Raiders have been just as impressive on the defensive side of the ball under Kingsbury, allowing only 15.3 points and 415.7 yards of total offense per game. TCU could not get anything going against them last week as six of its first eight possessions ended with a punt and the other two concluded with an interception and turnover on downs.
"We put them in bad spots all night offensively," said Kingsbury. " They kept stepping up and turning them over and getting stops against a talented offense with a really talented quarterback. So couldn't be more proud of that side of the ball."
Tre' Porter and Micah Awe are the team's leading tacklers with 22 and 21 total stops each, respectively.

BERWYN — Given the young roster of the Morton girls soccer team, the early part of the schedule was always going to be a test.
That test was made more difficult by the fact that the Mustangs played quality opposition in each of their first six matches.
The Mustangs finally got a win on the board on Saturday by beating Marian Catholic 4-1 at the Pepsi Showdown at Olympic Park in Schaumburg. Briana Keska had a hat trick and an assist in the ice-breaking victory.
After Keska's breakout year last spring, teams have made defending her a priority. Multiple girls have been surrounding her whenever she gets the ball and with the Mustangs down a few key players they haven't had the ability to overcome that against good teams. Coach Jim Bageanis is trying some different things to make sure she stays involved during matches.
"She was able to possess the ball against that team," Bageanis said. "We were able to move some people around."
The Pepsi Showdown has offered a chance to play teams more on Morton's level at this point in the season. Bageanis is hoping the returning players and the newcomers can continue to jell over the next week.
After the tough start, the Mustangs simply want to rack up some wins and confidence.
"As I expected the younger group is just getting into the varsity level, the speed of play out there," Bageanis said. "It's getting better. They're starting to combine with the older players. We knew it was going to take time."
Three of those early losses, including a 1-0 loss at Hinsdale South on April 2, came by one goal. Two more, against Nazareth on March 22 and York on Thursday, were close games late until the Mustangs pushed forward in the hopes of an equalizer, but instead conceded goals with the defense exposed.
Injuries have also played a part in the slow start. All-conference returner Rachel Kacirek has missed a few games due to illness. Liz Gonzalez has been out since suffering a concussion against Fenwick on March 28. Gabby Fuentes, who Bageanis called the team's best defender, is still out while recovering from an ACL injury. Fuentes could be back by the beginning of May.
After concluding the Pepsi Showdown on Saturday Morton will return to conference play at Addison Trail on April 16.

More than two million first orbits
Since its release on 12 April, the film recreating Yuri Gagarin's pioneering flight has been seen almost 2.6 million times. Much of the footage was shot aboard the Space Station by ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli.
The first human spaceflight on 12 April 1961 lasted only 108 minutes. During this time Yuri Gagarin flew in his Vostok-1 spacecraft once around the globe, becoming the first human to see the view from space: bright stars in a carbon-black sky, a shiny Sun and the majestic Earth.
Seeing the home planet below his craft was perhaps the most stunning experience of his flight. Mixing old footage and audio recordings from the mission with fresh material shot from the International Space Station, First Orbit recreates the views that Gagarin enjoyed as accurately as possible.
Simple idea, but difficult to realise
"When Gagarin came back from space, everyone wanted to know what it was like," says director Christopher Riley, who conceived First Orbit.
"Part of what people meant by that question was: what did Earth look like from up there? And that was something only Gagarin would really ever know."
He wanted to reconstruct the whole ride aboard Vostok-1 – and ESA agreed to help him. Together with Gerald Ziegler, Flight Dynamics Engineer working at ESA's Space Operations Centre, they calculated when the Space Station was exactly above the path of Gagarin's flight at the same time of day.
The lighting conditions and everything else had to be as close as possible to what Gagarin would have seen starting from launch near the Aral Sea, at 06:07 GMT, and on into the night side of Earth over the Pacific Ocean, before emerging into sunlight again over the Southern Atlantic and passing across the whole African continent and the Middle East, returning to the ground at 07:55 GMT, just north of the Caspian Sea.
With Roland Luettgens and Giovanni Gravili of ESA, Gerald and Christopher managed to find some indications from Gagarin's notes about the viewing angles and details he saw, and all these were sent to the Space Station crew.
Christopher didn't want to use satellite images because the footage shot by humans – with errors and imperfections – is more authentic.
Paolo as cameraman
ESA helped to fit the requests into the crew time on the Station and, after a test shoot last November by NASA astronaut Doug Wheelock, ESA's Paolo Nespoli filmed most of the footage for the project in early January.
Paolo never appears in the film himself, but as the Space Station flies into the night side of Earth over the north Pacific you can catch a glimpse of him reflected in the window as he floats towards the camera.
There is one difference between First Orbit and Gagarin's actual flight: the Moon.
"When Gagarin flew into the night side of Earth on 12 April 1961, it was a crescent Moon," explained Christopher.
"According to his autobiography Road to the Stars, he tried to look for the Moon out of curiosity, but unfortunately it was not in his field of view. 'Never mind,' he wrote, 'I'll see it next time.'"
For Gagarin, there was unfortunately no next time, but Christopher added the Moon to the film.
"Paolo has not yet seen the film, but is more than curious to see as soon as he returns," says Roland Luettgens, who is working as ESA Mission Director at the Columbus Control Centre and has told Paolo all about the film's success.
"He is happy having been able to participate and sends many greetings to all who supported making the film."
The film is freely viewable on www.firstorbit.org and on YouTube. During the first week since it went online, it has been seen almost 2.6 million times.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Rutgers University's president, a neuroscientist, was brought in last year to turn the school into a medical sciences powerhouse, but he has quickly become a target of criticism from some lawmakers who question his ability to lead the university amid a series of embarrassments in the high-profile athletic department.
Still, Robert Barchi has the support of the state's most important politician, Gov. Chris Christie, who said Tuesday that he has "absolute confidence" in Barchi and won't meddle in university business, including its decision to hire Julie Hermann as athletic director.
There have been revelations in recent days that volleyball players at the University of Tennessee complained that Hermann abused them verbally and emotionally when she coached there in the 1990s and that she was involved in a sexual discrimination lawsuit while she was an administrator at Louisville. She was hired by Rutgers May 15 and is scheduled to start there June 17.
"I understand that there are some people that feel differently about it. It doesn't matter," Christie said during a testy moment in his monthly call-in show on TownSquare Media Tuesday night. "What matters is: What did the administration at Rutgers believe?"
Christie said he had talked with Barchi, the university's lawyer and the chairman of the Board of Governors and believes they should be allowed to run the university as they see fit.
"These are their decisions," Christie said. "Now they have to deal with the questions that are being raised."
Last month, Christie, a Republican, gave a similar view when some Democratic lawmakers first questioned whether Barchi should be president at the start of a cycle of problems in the athletic department. Then, the university fired basketball coach Mike Rice days after a video was made public of him berating players with gay slurs, kicking them and throwing basketballs at them.
The university's athletic director and top in-house lawyer both resigned under pressure. Since then, the university has defended its hiring of new basketball coach Eddie Jordan after the school said he was a Rutgers graduate when he was not. Lacrosse coach Brian Brecht was also suspended two games for verbally abusing his players during practice, something the university discovered in a probe of all its sports programs after Rice's dismissal.
In his defense of Barchi in April, Christie said it would be a mistake to let Barchi go because of his role in trying to rebuild Rutgers.
Lawmakers last year adopted a version of Christie's plan to reconfigure the state university system with the goal of making Rutgers into an elite medical science research center by having it absorb parts of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
As the change was being planned, the school hired Barchi away from Philadelphia's Thomas Jefferson University, a medical school, to oversee the transformation and lead the creation of a strategic plan for Rutgers' future.
During a university Board of Governors meeting last month, an alumnus asked the board to bring back Tim Pernetti, the former athletic director; basketball players had a news conference; members of other sports teams protested; and TV networks' satellite trucks lined the street near the meeting. But Barchi's main presentation to the board was not about the aftermath of the Rice situation. Instead, he gave a detailed report on the process of gathering information to draft a strategic plan.
State Senate President Stephen Sweeney, a Democrat, said Tuesday that he would not say whether he thinks Barchi should resign until after he gets more details from him on Hermann's hiring.
Sweeney was not as convinced that only Barchi can oversee the transition to running medical schools. "The merger's going to happen regardless of whether Barchi's there or not," he told The Associated Press.
Rutgers is to take over the medical schools on July 1.
Barchi, 66, who had previously been a top administrator at the University of Pennsylvania, lacked experience running in the high ranks of a university with the athletic ambitions of Rutgers, where the football team has been transformed from perpetually mediocre to a regular in bowl games and where some faculty, students and alumni have fretted about the consequences of trying to have a big-time sports program.
Because of its stronger football program, solid academic reputation and location in the New York City media market, the university is set to join the Big Ten Conference in 2014.
The athletic directors at the conference's two most prominent schools — Ohio State and Michigan — said the problems in Rutgers' athletic department do not seem so damaging as to derail the university's entry into the league.
On his radio show, Christie also warned against a "character assassination" of Hermann, whom he said he does not know and has never met.
Meanwhile, some former colleagues came to her defense.
Joan Cronan, women's athletic director emeritus at Tennessee, said in a statement that she holds Hermann in high regard, and that while the ex-coach's tenure in the 1990s "was a very frustrating time for everyone connected with the volleyball program, I do not recall it being an abusive situation."
Marc Gesualdo, a graduate assistant for Tennessee's sports information department from 1994-96, attended virtually all of Tennessee's games during that stretch, but he wasn't at all practices.
"Never did I see anything that I would deem as inappropriate," he said, "or just like so outlandish that it was bordering on abuse."
Mulvihill reported from Haddonfield. Contributing to this report were Associated Press sports writers Tom Canavan in Newark, Teresa M. Walker in Nashville, Tenn., Rusty Miller in Columbus, Ohio, Larry Lage in Detroit, and Eric Olson in Omaha, Neb.; and AP writers Steve Megargee in Knoxville, Tenn., and Angela Delli Santi in Asbury Park, N.J.

I recently had the chance to eat at Crave Cincinnati at The Banks downtown . While this post is not a restaurant review, I have to say we had a fantastic experience – exceptional service, delicious food and the chance to choose from a very extensive wine list (my favorite part).
While we waited for our table, I had a glass of wine at the bar – Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. This is a crisp, vibrant wine full of tropical fruit flavor and a little bit of grapefruit. It is very smooth from start to finish and rather acidic. Delicious. I will be searching for this one at my local store.
With dinner, I had a red – what Crave classifies as a Unique Red – Gascon Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina. Big and bold, this wine is a good blend of fruit and spice. It has nice round tannins and a long smooth finish. I don't drink Malbec on a regular basis but this wine is above-average.
Crave's wine list boasts nearly 90 wines by the glass and bottle. They also have a selection of Martinis, Crafted Cocktails like Blueberry Lemonade and Crave Creations like their Summer Shandy.
I would definitely like to visit Crave again for the wine… and for the sushi.

OVB Outside Vertical Bar
VRCB Volatility Reduced Compression Bar
Brent Crude Oil (August '13):
- Short Term Trend is bearish.
- Confirmation of a top with a range violation on 06/11/13 @ 102.64. Confirmation of a bottom with a close violation on 06/06/13 @ 103.33. Upside Targets = 109.11 – 113.72.
- Possible confirmation of a top with a close violation @ 102.64 or lower.
- August Brent Crude dropped sharply lower on Tuesday following a nearly across the board sell-off in the risk assets back below last week's mid-point as well as the mid-point of the trading range from the previous eight weeks before finding some intraday support and rallying back near the mid-point of the trading session.
- Brent has been forming what appears to be a significant base over the past few months of trading and with a trade outside of last week's high it could spark a rally back near $110-$113.
- Projected Daily Range: 1.70
- Projected Weekly Range: 4.89
- Projected Monthly Range: 8.97
WTI Crude Oil (July '13):
- Short Term Trend is bearish.
- Confirmation of a bottom with a range violation on 06/05/13 @ 94.42. Confirmation of a bottom with a close violation on 06/06/13 @ 94.76. Upside Targets = 97.55 – 99.12.
- July WTI Crude Oil dropped significantly lower in initial trading on Tuesday before finding solid footing just above $94 to come back and rally over $1.25 into the close of the day.
- WTI did suffer some setbacks after the pit-session closed on Tuesday and dependent upon the EIA storage report's figures released on Wednesday morning, oil could see further damage back below the lows of the past four trading sessions near $93.
- Projected Daily Range: 1.87
- Projected Weekly Range: 4.88
- Projected Monthly Range: 9.15
Natural Gas (June '13):
- Short Term Trend is bearish.
- Confirmation of a top with a range violation on 05/30/13 @ 4.117. Confirmation of a top with a close violation on 05/30/13 @ 4.023. Downside Targets = 3.957 – 3.879.
- New lows made on the current move Tuesday @ 3.716.
- July Natural Gas once again saw an increase in downward pressure in the second half of trading on Tuesday as it continues to ride the daily SBB lower and press toward my long-standing call of a return to the original breakout price of $3.65.
- Natural gas is no doubt oversold into an area that once gave huge support but with another triple digit storage injection expected this week, look for Wednesday to continue lower and possible break below $3.70 heading into the report.
- Projected Daily Range: .090
- Projected Weekly Range: .275
- Projected Monthly Range: .614

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida – Colin Braun turned the fastest lap ever recorded on the 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway oval on Wednesday afternoon, piloting Michael Shank Racing's Ford EcoBoost-powered Daytona Prototype to a lap of 222.971 mph (40.364 sec.).
Braun's lap was part of a record-breaking afternoon at the "World Center of Racing." Subject to homologation from the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), Braun also set new world speed records for 10 kilometers from a standing start and 10 miles from a standing start. Braun's 10-km speed was 202.438 mph and the 10-mile speed was 210.018 mph.
Braun's single-lap speed topped Bill Elliott's record of 210.364 mph set during qualifying for the Daytona 500 in 1987. The 10-km and 10-mile world records were held by Hans Liebold, who drove a Mercedes-Benz Turbo to a 10-km speed of 199.101 mph and a 10-mile speed of 208.316 mph from a standing start in Nardo, Italy on May 5, 1979.
"It's certainly really special to hold the record here at Daytona," Braun said. "This is the place where I got my first professional sports car win in the GRAND-AM Rolex Series with a Ford-powered DP car. It's always been a historic place for a lot of people. This is hallowed ground here at Daytona, so it's really special to hold the record at this place. To get to do it with a group of guys like Mike Shank and with the new EcoBoost Ford motor, it's a special day, for sure."
The record speed runs come on the heels of last week's announcement that Michael Shank Racing became the first team to utilize Ford's new 3.5-liter, twin-turbo V6 EcoBoost engine in its Daytona Prototype heading into the 2014 debut of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship. It was the culmination of a process that began several months ago for Shank.
"I can't believe, in my whole racing career, that I'd have an opportunity to do something like this," Shank said. "I never thought we could. If you think about how fast we went around here in a Daytona Prototype car is a little bit surreal. This thing is extremely fast and I'm extremely proud of it. I think it bodes well for the future of sports car racing in the U.S. Daytona Prototypes are not slow cars. They are very, very capable cars and I think we proved that here today."
The record runs were also a source of pride for GRAND-AM founder Jim France, who spearheaded the use of Daytona Prototypes as the top category for the Rolex Sports Car Series since 2003 and through the completion of the series last month. France will serve as chairman of the new International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), which will sanction the TUDOR Championship. The series, which results from the merger of the Rolex Series and the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón, will include Daytona Prototypes in its top class as well.
"It was a very special, exciting day to be able to set the track record with a Daytona Prototype," France said. "I think it was very appropriate and very exciting. For Ford with their new EcoBoost engine, for Mike Shank and everybody involved at Ford Motor Company and their engineers and everybody who worked on the project, it's wonderful to come to a great conclusion like this."
The new EcoBoost V6 engine represents a renewed commitment from Ford to North American sports car racing and the TUDOR Championship in particular. Ford Racing Director Jamie Allison was on hand throughout the speed runs at Daytona and was thrilled with the performance of his company's new powerplant.
"It's a very proud day for all of us at Ford," said Allison. "To take a Ford EcoBoost engine that is basically production technology, and to beat speed records that have been on the books for decades really says something for our new engine.
"It's a great way to kick off a new era of EcoBoost and sports car racing for Ford. Now we'll start getting it ready to make its competition debut in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship in January."
The inaugural TUDOR Championship opens with the 52nd Rolex 24 At Daytona on Jan. 25-26, 2014. Tickets are available by calling 1-800-PITSHOP or visiting www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com.

The Criminal Court of Minya issued its verdict on Monday against Beshoy Armia, a 32-year-old Christian convert who works as a reporter for a US-based Christian TV network called "The Road." He was arrested last December and charged of publishing false news to incite sectarian strife.

The much-publicized rollout of Michigan death records 1897-1920 quickly led to server overload -- now apparently fixed -- but the defective nature of the search engine offered has been much less noted, if at all. (I am a big fan of Seeking Michigan.org and blogged about its Civil War archives back on March 5.)
When I attempt a simple search in quotation marks for "Floyd Glover" I get a very long list of people who have Floyd in their first names with no Glover and Glover in their names with no Floyd. So I move on to advanced search, which looks like a really powerful setup.
In advanced search, you first need to moved "Death Records 1897-1920" from the lower left-hand box to the right-hand box, so as to be searching only this one collection. (As you attempt a search and then move back to this screen, you'll have to move it back again -- don't forget!) Then you can turn your attention to the four interconnected search boxes. On the left-hand side of each box you can choose search mode: all of the words, the exact phrase, any of the words, or none of the words. On the right-hand side of each line you can choose your search term. In addition to 16 generic search terms usable in all the Seeking Michigan collections, you can search for first name of deceased, last name of deceased, city/village/town, county, death year, birth year, age, father's last name, or father's given name.
A simple test will show the problems with this seemingly powerful array of search tools. Say you want to browse the death records of Clinton County, and put "Clinton" in as the search term, and "county" as the search field. Result: a long list of results starting with people with "Clinton" as their first name! The exact same list of results appears for any search mode except of course "none of the words."
Using "1899" as search term with "death year" as search field produces a list of people with 1899 as either birth or death year.
The end result of this impressive array of search engines is that the only people I could find were my Mitzelfeld/Mitzelfeldt relatives by marriage, because their name is so rare.
I trust that the Michigan folks can take this back to their contractor and get the search interface to measure up to its tremendous potential. Right now it's an inferior browsing tool.

I hope they do too. I run into the same issues with many collections online. As exciting as thedigitization and release of records is, the data is, in the end, only as useful as the search function which helps you mine it.

We recognized those problems you detailed right away. The searching snaufus have been fixed, and everything is working as it should.
Searching Clinton County and 1899 will give you a list of 1899 deaths in Clinton County.
Thanks for your interest in the Seeking Michigan site, and I encourage you to check back and try your search again. we'll likely be adding additional records this week.

One more thing....
That being said, at this point, there aren't any 1899 Clinton County deaths. Those records should be added soon.
Check here for the most current information on what years and counties have been loaded: http://seekingmichigan.org/look/2009/03/16/million-record-march.
Thanks again for your interest in the Seeking Michigan web site. The Library will likely be adding additional records this week, so stay tuned!

text: The Naked Truth: Five Celebrities Go Nude for Allure\\nMaria Menounos, Debra Messing, Leslie Bibb, Taraji P. Henson, and Morena Baccarin stripped down for our shoot, draped in just a few strands of diamonds. Here's how they got their bodies—and minds—ready for the big reveal.\\nAs a teen beauty-pageant contestant, Menounos received low swimsuit scores. \\"I was hippy and I didn't diet for contests. And it didn't bother me,\\" she says. The 33-year-old *Extra* host has a healthy attitude about her body, but that doesn't mean she's comfortable getting naked. In fact, she's so hesitant to be bare it all that she's afraid of getting pregnant because of how much she'd have to expose. \\"I have some serious issues here,\\" she admitted. \\"But I want to get over that.\\" She looked to this photo shoot to cure to her shyness, and it may have worked: \\"This was definitely challenging,\\" she said, \\"but I feel so much better having done it.\\"\\nAt 43, Messing's decision to pose nude came from a natural process of self-acceptance. \\"Once you have a child, once you pass 40, you have a different relationship with your body,\\" she said. \\"I love my body in a way I never have before.\\" And the parts she loves the most? \\"My shoulders, clavicle, and chest,\\" she explains. \\"I started out in dance—there's something beautiful about a dancer's upper body. I love strapless dresses.\\"\\nFollowing an indulgent two-week vacation, Bibb, 37, went on a four-day juice cleanse to get ready for her shoot. \\"It was an angry four days,\\" says Bibb. \\"Sam [Rockwell, her boyfriend] was like, 'Thank God I'm not with you right now. You are not nice on the juice cleanse.'\\" Luckily, prepping her skin was an easier chore, as she stopped off at a Korean spa for a body scrub pre-shoot. \\"Everybody's naked there, and I don't mind,\\" she said. \\"But I'm like a cat with a feather anytime I see a boob job. I can't look away.\\"\\n\\"My friends won't be surprised by this shoot,\\" Henson said. \\"Whenever we go to the beach, I'm like, 'Is this a nude beach? Can I take my top off?'\\" With that kind of bravado, it's no wonder that the 41-year-old *Person of Interest* actress isn't afraid to parade around naked—even at her New York City home, with zero curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows. \\"I know some idiot has a telescope, so I always wave,\\" she said. \\"He's going to be pissed when I move.\\"\\nAfter stripping down for a sex scene on *Homeland*, Baccarin, 32, wanted to take a more subtle approach to nudity for this shoot. \\"I didn't want it to be an overload, like 'That girl is always taking off her clothes,'\\" she said. \\"This is for the art of it. It's beautiful.\\" And though she was raised in a household with a liberal, laid-back attitude towards the body (\\"I saw my mom in her underwear more than my friends saw theirs,\\" she said), she's not quite a nudist: \\"I don't do any naked activities except for the obvious ones. No cooking naked. That's dangerous.\\"

Jason Milligan is the Creative Director of Sesame Workshop's Innovation Lab.
"Kids won't know what that is!"
It wasn't the first time I heard Sesame Workshop Curriculum Specialist Sue Scheiner say that, but this time it threw me a bit. We were reviewing Elmo's World episodes to include in Season 2 of Kinect Sesame Street TV. Sue was referring to a camera. The camera was an old fashioned black box with a huge flashbulb attached. And one old fashioned camera in Mr. Noodle's hands wouldn't have mattered so much if any of the cameras in the piece looked and worked like current cameras do. But they didn't. They were clunky film cameras and video cameras with tapes. There was a scene in which a kid takes film to a store to have it "developed."
Not one person in the entire episode took a picture with a phone, or was able to immediately show Elmo his image on the back. The way today's kids experience digital photography (often on smart phones) is completely, utterly, totally different than it was only a few years ago, apparently when this episode of Elmo's World was made in 2005. Seriously. I checked the air date. It freaked me out a little. The same way it freaked me out when my niece pointed to a phone booth in a video and asked my sister what it was. Or when I explained to my kids how television used to show programs at certain times of day and you couldn't pause or rewind or even decide which show you wanted to watch right now. Sue is right. Kids don't know what those things are. Some Sesame content will always be relevant. Ernie will always be able to sing about the joys of bathing with his Duckie. C will always be for Cookie. But not this.
We couldn't use Elmo's World: Cameras. It was simply out of date.

The League of Women Voters celebrated its 93rd anniversary on Feb. 14.
To the editor:
The League of Women Voters celebrated its 93rd anniversary on Feb. 14. Since our founding in 1920, the League has worked tirelessly to protect and uphold the constitutional right to vote, a right that composes the very foundation of our democracy.
However, while we celebrate our successes, we are concerned by stark challenges to our democracy. We are deeply concerned about existing voters in Johnson County. Early voting during weekends and nights would allow more people to vote. Yet in the 2012 election, I stood in line with many others for at least 90 minutes in order to vote early because I work during the day. I saw elderly and women with multiple little children and pregnant women with no place to sit as they stood nearly two hours in order to exercise their franchise. If I were tired of standing on a concrete floor for that long, I know that they endured more. We must ask that early voting be made easier: more places, more hours.
The League of Women Voters is deeply concerned about requiring proof of citizenship in order to vote for the first time in Kansas. If you were in the United States illegally, drawing attention to yourself by attempting to vote is simply not something you would do. In fact, we know of no documented case in Kansas. Voter impersonation is likewise not a documented problem.
What we do know, it that the League's work in registering voters has been made very difficult by the new voter registration regulations which went into effect Jan. 1, 2013. We are concerned that young voters, the elderly, the working poor, and women who have married (whose names don't match their birth certificates) will find it hard or at the least very time consuming to comply with the requirements.
It takes time and money to obtain out-of-state birth certificates and marriage licenses to show name changes and provide proof of citizenship. The result is likely suppressing the vote of these groups.
The League believes we should be expanding voting rights, not curtailing them, and working to make elections free, fair and accessible to all eligible citizens.
LWVJoCo is one of nearly 800 Leagues (including one in Leavenworth County) in all 50 states that works to protect voters' rights. We respect all points of view, and never support or oppose candidates for office or political parties. This is what sets the League apart from so many organizations, and it is why we welcome new volunteers to take part in our work here in our community.
Membership in the League is open to men and women of all ages. For more information about the League, visit www.LWVJoCo.org.

EV Volumes has just released its globalplug-in car sales report for 2016. There are several exciting findings in the report,including a few that we've highlighted in recent weeks, but the most striking news for me was that the Tesla Model S and Nissan LEAF clocked in as the best-selling electric cars in the world in 2016.
The point isn't just to get giddy about
Tommy Bahama® Komomo Point Water Shoe WtuC0h0yzf
again — the point is that it shows how effective and even criticalthis 100%electric, from-the-ground-up, high-end-models-first, full-EV-ecosystem approach has been. Where would the rest of the EV market be if Tesla hadn't pushed it forward? Where would the rest of the market be if one of the most desirable cars in history wasn't a fully electric car?
Similarly, the LEAF targeted a lowerclasswhen it was introduced in 2011, but the "from-the-ground-up" approach continues to carry it forward at the top of the electric car sales charts.
Another tophighlight for me was that was #1 as far as overall company sales of plug-in cars,which again emphasizes how a strong "EVs first" approach has been demonstrablyeffective. Of course, BYD also benefits from being the leader in the hottest — and quite unique — EV market (China). China has big EV incentives from the government and the local marketheavily favorsChinese companies. Nonetheless, BYD deserves huge credit for leading that market — and, again, one has to wonder where the Chinese EV market (or incentives) would be without BYD's leadership.
"BYD is the leading make for plug-in vehicles in China, with nearly 30% share of plug-in sales there. With high volume sales of their 2 PHEVs (Qin, Tang) and 4 EVs (EV300, e5, e6, Denza), BYD reached 102,500sales in 2016, making it the world's largest OEM for plug-in passenger cars SUVs."
The next thing that jumps out, however, is that companies #3 and #4 are European companies that have heavily focused on plug-in hybrids withquite small batteries and electric driving range (Volkswagen and BMW). These cars have been pretty strongly incentivized in certain European countries, and they may be a good transition approach —offering electric range for the city but gas backup for longer trips. However,the approach and the resultsmake me wonder if the companies aren't being too cynical about what theycould have achieved in Europe and elsewhere if they had focused more on fully electric models or models designed electric from the ground up (not simply converted from a gasoline-based model). Nissan, despite havinga much smaller global brand, was right behind BMW and Volkswagen with a pure-EV focus built electric from the ground up.

The search continues for two suspects who broke into a northeast Kansas home and tied up a female resident.
The search began Tuesday and was concentrated for most of the day northeast of Louisburg in Miami County.
Authorities say three men broke into a home in the unincorporated town of Hillsdale Tuesday morning. Police said they tied the woman up, ransacked her home and fled.
After a car carrying the suspects was stopped, one of the men was quickly captured but the other two escaped into the woods.
