text:
Ashton Eaton has definitively separated himself from the field of athletes in the men's decathlon. Now eight events in – most recently the pole vault – Eaton's margin is a massive 124 points.
Essentially, all he needs to do is complete both remaining events and he will become the first man since Daley Thompson in 1984 to repeat as Olympic decathlon champion.
Don't expect him to jog through those last two events, though. Ashton Eaton will be competing stride-for-stride with the only man in the world who can match his pace: Ashton Eaton.
At the track and field World Championships one year ago, he set the world record aggregate points total in the decathlon with 9,045 points.
He is now on pace to exceed that total.
With a pole vault of 5.20m worth 972 points, he brought his overall score to 7,370.
If he averages better than 837.5 points over both the javelin throw and the 1500m run, he will break his own world record.
5.20m came in dramatic fashion. Twice, at both 4.90m and 5.10m, Eaton needed a third and final attempt to clear the bar and move on to the next height. He chose not to attempt a vault at 5.30m, instead skipping straight to 5.40m. He then failed to clear the bar on three attempts, making the 5.20m vault and corresponding 972 points his official score for the event.
A javelin throw of 66 meters and a 1500m time of 4:15 – both near but not better than Eaton's personal bests – would be good enough to break the record.
As for some of the other athletes, Damian Warner could only manage a vault of 4.70m, good for just 819 points. He falls from second to third overall, with France's Kevin Mayer now in the silver medal position thanks to a massive 5.40m vault worth 1035 points.
Americans Zach Ziemek and Jeremy Taiwo are fifth and sixth overall, respectively. Ziemek matched Eaton's vault of 5.20m while Taiwo wasn't far off at 5.00m.
The javelin throw will take place at 5:35pm ET, and decathlon will conclude at 8:45pm at Olympic Stadium with the 1500m.
Top 10 as of pole vault:
Seven events are now in the books, and Ashton Eaton's lead is significant.
Eaton posted the eighth-farthest discus throw of the competition, the same event in which he placed 22nd four years ago en route to his first Olympic decathlon gold medal.
Damian Warner of Canada, Eaton's biggest challenger, did not have a good performance in the event. His recorded throw of 44.93m was over five meters shorter than his personal best, which he threw back in March of this year.
Eaton's throw of 45.49m earned him 777 points, his second-lowest score of the competition so far. Still, the result was good enough to increase his lead over Warner and the rest of the field to 115 points.
Fellow American Zach Ziemek had the third-farthest throw of the day, vaulting him into the sixth position overall.
Lindon Victor of Grenada destroyed the field in the event with a staggering throw of 53.24m, 3.34m better than the next farthest throw. He jumps to 14th overall.
Ukraine's Oleskiy Kasyanov, who entered the discus event in seventh place, fouled on all three throws. He was given a score of 0 for the event and drops to 26th.
Three events remain in the decathlon: the pole vault, javelin throw, and 1500m run.
The pole vault will begin shortly at 12:25pm ET. The javelin throw will follow later on at 5:35pm, and the 1500m will conclude the competition under the lights at 8:45pm.
Overall top 10 as of discus throw:
Damian Warner reclaimed the silver medal position and closed the gap between he and defending champion Ashton Eaton with a field-best time of 13.58s in the 110m hurdles.
Eaton, running alongside Warner in Heat 4, finished just behind the Canadian with a time of 13.80s.
Warner and Eaton earned 1,029 and 1,000 points for their respective performances. Eaton entered the event with a 132-point cushion over Warner, and therefore still maintains a very healthy lead in the overall competition standings.
Germany's Kai Kazmirek, who ended the first day in second place, finished last in Heat 4 and falls to fourth overall.
American Jeremy Taiwo also dropped a spot, finishing third in Heat 3.
The athletes will start the seventh event of the decathlon, the discus throw, momentarily. Warner will hope to further close the gap on Ashton Eaton in what is decisively Eaton's weakest event. He finished 22nd among the field in London.
Overall top 10 as of 110m hurdles:
Ashton Eaton is in prime position to become the first man to successfully defend an Olympic decathlon gold medal since Daley Thompson in 1980.
The reigning "Most Athletic Man in the World" responded from a lackluster performance in the high jump with a superb run in the 400-meter dash, expanding his overall decathlon lead to 121 points at the halfway mark of the competition.
Eaton's time of 46.07s was the best of the night by over a half-second, topping his 400m time of four years ago – also best of the competition – by nearly a full second.
Germany's Kai Kazmirek posted the second-best time of the field, shooting him into second position overall with an even 4,500 points.
Canada's Damian Warner placed third, but drops a spot in the overall standings to third place.
Jeremy Taiwo of Team USA drops as well, finishing over 2.5-seconds behind Eaton. Taiwo had climbed as high as the third overall spot after winning the high jump event.
Overall top 10 after day 1:
A massive jump from Jeremy Taiwo catapulted the Seattle native from ninth place to within a point of second place overall in the men's decathlon.
On his third and final attempt, Taiwo lept 2.19 meters, greater than the height of NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal. Taiwo's jump was the highest out of all the decathlon competitors by three centimeters.
At 2.01m, Ashton Eaton finished the high jump tied for 14th, a relatively poor performance considering that Eaton tied for second in the event four years ago in London. The defending Olympic champion still holds the top spot in the overall standings, but his lead over Canada's Damian Warner shrinks from 95 to 68 points.
Overall top 10 as of high jump:
The 100-meter dash, long jump, and shot put events of the men's decathlon took place earlier this morning. The high jump event is currently underway and 400-meter dash will follow at 8:20pm ET this evening to round out the first half of competition.
London 2012 gold medalist Ashton Eaton of Team USA sits atop the standings with 2,803 points, 95 points ahead of Canada's Damian Warner. Kevin Mayer of France sits just seven points behind Warner with 2,699, and Brazil's Luiz Alberto de Araujo rounds out the top four with 2,648 points after three events.
Four years ago, Eaton dominated the field on the first day of competition, winning three of five events – the 100m, long jump, and 400m.
He got off to another strong start in Rio this morning, winning the long jump by a massive 25 centimeters and placing second in the 100m, .16 seconds behind Warner.
Eaton placed 10th in the shot put, one of his weaker events. Mayer had the farthest throw of the day at 15.79m.
Other Team USA members Jeremy Taiwo and Zachery Zeimek sit ninth and tenth respectively in the overall standings. Zeimek finished third behind Eaton in the 100m, and Taiwo's sixth-place, 14.92m shot put throw was tops among the Americans.
The decathlon continues at 8:20pm ET with the 400-meter dash.
Overall top 10 as of shot put:

This month the film Kinsey, starring Liam Neeson, opens nationwide. Neeson plays the pioneering sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, who created a sensation in the late 1940s and early 1950s with his books on men's and women's sex lives.
Based on painstaking interviews with 18,000 Americans, Kinsey's data shocked the puritanical West. It revealed the rich variety of people's sex lives for the first time. For example, 11 per cent of married males had anal sex, and 50 per cent of married men had an extramarital affair, as did 26 per cent of married women.
In those stitched-up times, people were having more sex, and in all its forms, than was publicly acknowledged. Not since Darwin's On the Origin of Species had books unleashed such controversy.
Fast-forward 50 years, and the controversy of the 21st century is entirely different. Now the shock news is that lack of sex and lack of desire are more common than once believed. If people worried in Kinsey's time about how to restrain the natural sex drive, now the worry is how to boost it, and extend it into old age, through chemical fixes if need be.
Seven years after Viagra was unleashed, the attention has turned to baby boomer women whose sex drive has gone into low gear. In Kinsey's day women who showed too much interest in sex were called nymphomaniacs. Now grandmothers are pitied if they can't conjure up a sexual thought about husbands of 40 years' standing.
Lack of desire among post-menopausal women is being turned into a serious medical problem, with a scary name - Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder. And drug companies are moving in to capitalise on it.
Procter & Gamble, which brought us soap and nappies, has produced a testosterone patch, Intrinsa, designed to fix post-menopausal women's fading libidos. Not in the mood? No worries, there's a patch.
It has caused a huge furore, dividing feminists and medical experts. Last month the United States Food and Drug Administration advisory panel refused to approve the patch for release just yet, saying that the possible health risks outweighed what some saw as only a modest benefit in increasing desire and the frequency of sex. It won't get on the market without more testing. But Intrinsa is only the first of a line of testosterone products aimed at the post-menopausal market.
Women's flagging drive, due in part to reduced testosterone levels as they age, represents big bucks to pharmaceutical companies - just as men's limp penises (and inflated expectations) were turned into the Viagra goldmine for Pfizer.
Just because a multinational drug company is flogging it, doesn't mean the proposed chemical fixes are bad. Pharmaceutical companies brought us the pill, too. And for all the problems and false starts, the pill liberated millions of women. But it does indicate baby boomer women might need to exercise caution before they accept they have a medical problem that needs fixing. Extended drug treatment may be a premature solution when so little is understood about the science of desire.
We're only starting to learn that women's sexual desire and arousal are more complex than previously thought; grandmothers who don't burn with desire, can't conjure up a sexual thought or fantasy, and don't particularly crave intercourse are perfectly normal. And they can still have satisfactory sex once they get going, sexologists tell us.
It turns out that Kinsey's famed successors, William Masters and Virginia Johnson, led us up the garden path with their strict account of women's sexual response. Research by guru sexologist Professor Rosemary Basson, from British Columbia, shows the linear sequence Masters and Johnson laid down - desire, arousal, plateau, orgasm, resolution - does not necessarily apply, especially to women in long-term relationships. Desire may be absent at the outset for women, rather there's a wish to please their partner, or to feel emotionally close. Desire may come later, near orgasm. But there is no set pattern.
Many ageing baby boomers, foot soldiers of the sexual revolution, who have tasted the joy of sex, aren't going to take a flagging libido lying down. They won't go quietly into the night. I suspect many want the kind of jump-on-your-partner sex they had in their younger days. Unlike their grandmothers, baby boomer women may not regard lack of desire as a relief; they will see it as a loss. The usual turn-offs - uncaring, inept partners, lack of intimacy, repressed anger, fatigue and boredom - may not apply in their cases. These women are not necessarily pawns and dupes of the pharmaceutical companies or their husbands.
Even so, the advice from Juliet Richters, co-author of Doing It Down Under, a book on Australia's sexual practices to be released this month, is to adjust. Don't wait to feel randy, schedule sex, don't focus on intercourse, "rewrite the script". And enjoy.
Baby boomer women, after the pill and hormone replacement therapy, need some consideration from hormonal assault. A testosterone patch, after a lot more testing, may prove as benign and helpful as aspirin. Right now in trials it has been shown to offer one "satisfying" experience a month more than a placebo; not enough to outweigh worries about heart disease and cancer.
Kinsey shocked the world when he revealed people's interest in sex; 50 years later, lack of interest has us in a stew. The hot-sex generation is having trouble cooling down. But the drug companies are all fired up.

Coworth Park, Berkshire
"Very green, very spoiling, very X-Factor"
Review by Fiona Duncan, published 12th April 2011.
Not long ago I likened the arrival of glamorous Lime Wood in the New Forest to a champagne-fuelled spaceship that had descended among puzzled inhabitants unused to such alien luxury.
Six months or so after Lime Wood opened, the plutocratic Martians sent another, larger, craft, and this time they were spot on with their navigation, landing it in a place – between Ascot and Wentworth – where there was less of the puzzlement, more a communal sigh of relief. The local ladies who lunch donned their furs, summoned their drivers and made a beeline for the spacecraft, parked in 240 picturesque acres, with two polo grounds, equestrian centre and spa.
Where on earth did they hold their book clubs before? How could Cheryl Cole have picked the finalists for The X-factor anywhere else – she stayed during filming in the three-bedroom, Grade II listed Dower House with her retinue?
But now I'm sounding chippy. It may be helpful to be a member of a boy band or the owner of a small Arab state to stay here, but the look of it, I can assure you, should appeal to all, for it is calming, sophisticated and in perfectly good taste, with hardly a whiff of glitz for the sake of glitz.
Coworth Park is also very green, its innovative environment-friendly credentials hidden behind a smoothly stylish yet welcoming interior and heralded by a vast and spectacular wild flower meadow. The country outpost of the Dorchester, it has been created from the shell of a Georgian mansion on an equestrian estate founded by the Earl of Derby a century ago.
I'm not partial to the work of interior designers Fox Linton in The Grove and the Athenaeum, but at Coworth both public rooms and bedrooms, whether in the mansion itself or in the converted stables and cottages, work in harmony with the architecture and the oasis-like surroundings (manicured polo fields, thick woods, lime tree grove, rose garden, towering Wellingtonias).
The food is a match: the cooking of John Campbell manages to be both feather light and complex. A dessert of "liquorice, carrot, coriander" sounded unpromising but tasted quite wonderful.
Campbell oversees all the food – breakfasts are peerless – including that served in The Barn, where a more down-to-earth breed of Berkshire lunching lady can be found tucking into the best fish and chips or cottage pie. The commitment of Campbell, as grounded and cerebral a chef as you will find, is key to the Coworth enterprise.
So: Coworth may be filled with (very rich) Martians but it's pretty heavenly nonetheless. Mike, the doorman, a "real" local who has lived for years down the road, sets a witty, informal tone, much more so than the coy, aren't-we-a-laugh notices ("counting sheep: do not disturb").
The curving, half-hidden spa has to be the most sybaritic outside the Seychelles; children are welcome and royally entertained; and you can watch or learn to play polo or take riding and dressage lessons with a champion. It's all beautifully done, down to the charmingly furnished corridors, and very spoiling. All you need, in order to stay is to marry a sheikh, win the lottery or get on to The X-factor.
- Blacknest Road, Ascot (01344 876600; www.coworthpark.com). Doubles from £235 per night, including breakfast. Adapted rooms for guests with disabilities.
Fiona's choice
It would be foolish not to use the facilities available at the hotel, to begin with. Polo matches are played in season, often including Princes' William and Harry. At the equestrian centre, run by British team champion Laura Richardson, you can (if you are already competent) take lessons in dressage, plus normal riding lessons and hacking out around the estate. Polo lessons can also be arranged.
For golfers, there's the distinct perk of being allowed to tee off at Wentworth Golf Club without having to be a member.
There are mapped walks and a jogging track on the estate.
And Coworth is perfectly placed for Ascot races.
Good pubs include The Belvedere Arms, within walking distance, and with good food (London Road, Sunninghill; 01344 870931;www.thebelvederearms.co.uk), and the The Thatch Tavern (Cheapside, Ascot; 01344 620874; www.thethatchedtavern.co.uk) on the fringe of Windsor Great Park: it is old and beamed, and serves traditional English food.
Try the Two Brewers (34 Park Street; 01753 855426;www.twobrewerswindsor.co.uk) if you are in Windsor: it's quintessentially English and one of the town's oldest pubs. Eton, with its tailcoated boys, its antique shops and its pretty High Street and College buildings, is very close to the hotel. Eat at Gilbey's in the main street (82-83 High Street; 01753 854921; www.gilbeygroup.com).
The Hotel Guru verdict
Appeal to all, with delightful touches.
Service on a par with surroundings, though can be over-solicitous
Wentworth dwellers' home-from-home; a dream worth pursuing for the rest of us
|Food and drink
Wentworth dwellers' home-from-home; a dream worth pursuing for the rest of us

No spice can match the exotic cachet of ginger. Its name is as lovely as its appearance is gnarled and homely.
The Sanskrit word from which it derives means "horn root." In English, too, ginger is sometimes called "ginger root," but it isn't a root at all. It is the underground stem, or rhizome, of a tropical plant that resembles an iris with yellow and red flowers. Its flavor is a complex blend of citrus and herbal notes overlaid with heat.

Alim Qasimov Ensemble
The Legendary Art of Mugham
Wherever Alim Qasimov performs, he arouses overwhelming emotions and inspires journalists to veritable hymns of praise. His dramatic renditions, the virtuosity of his singing, and his vibrant tones have earned him the attribute "the magical voice" (Le Monde). This serious newspaper went on to make the following daring prediction: "In the not too distant future, his name will shine like that of Nusrat Fatek Ali Khan." The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung spoke of a "vocal miracle: each individual tone expresses fundamental emotions, the graceful beauty and atmospheric density of the music spans hours, even centuries, creating moments that are eternal. His perfect coloratura seems to soar over canyon-like distances with weightless ease, never artificial." Alim Qasimov is accompanied by two of his country's most acclaimed musicians on the long-necked lute, tar, and the spike fiddle, kemanche. With instinctive assurance, they anticipate each note, illumining it with instrumental proficiency. Together they form the most popular Mugham trio in Azerbaijan. This is an already historical document of their much-lauded WDR concert in Cologne, during which Alim Qasimov introduced his 18-year-old daughter Ferganah for the first time, "the warm timbre and astonishing maturity of whose trained voice resound like a low-pitched bell".

OPPO brings you the F3 Plus which has a metal unibody. However, instead of using thick antenna lines, the company uses two sets of three ultra-file lines on each end of the phone. They measure 0.3 mm each, adding to the freshness of the phone's look.
The phone not only comes with a large 4000 mAh battery, but also with the company's own fast-charging solution. This offers over two hours of talktime with only a 5-minute charge. Furthermore, the VOOC fast-charging technology also ensures that the phone stays cool while charging.
The OPPO F3 Plus sports a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8976 Pro 653 octa-core processor and an Adreno 510 GPU. This, paired with the high amount of RAM (6 GB), means that you'll be able to run most apps and games smoothly on the device.
The OPPO F3 Plus features a solid-state fingerprint sensor that is sensitive enough to wake up the phone with just a touch. The sensor also comes with a hydrophobic membrane that offers a high success rate when using moist fingers.
The OPPO F3 Plus sports two cameras on the front. The 16 MP camera is used for standard selfies, while the 8 MP camera features a 120-degree, wide-angle lens and is meant to take group selfies. This means that you can get all your friends into the frame easily.

While the dual front cameras of the OPPO F3 Plus may be the phone's highlight, the 16 MP rear camera is no slouch either. It sports a large aperture lens (f/1.7) that lets in more light, letting you take brighter images in low-light conditions.
The OPPO F3 Plus lives up to its name with an FHD display that is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
The OPPO F3 Plus offers loads of storage for your apps, games, photos, videos, as well as other files. However, if that isn't enough, you can expand the internal memory of 64 GB even further with a microSD card.

The Dayton Art Institute delivers Oktoberfest
By Kevin J. Gray
Under new directorship, The Dayton Art Institute has exciting changes underway, changes that you can preview at this year's Oktoberfest celebration. The annual fundraiser, marking its 41st year, offers something for everyone.
"[Oktoberfest] is not all about the beer," according to co-chair John Nairus. "Friday's preview party is a who's who. It's kid friendly during the day. It is a party Saturday night and Sunday is a very nice day, with jazz bands and a Sunday kind of atmosphere. There's something all weekend."
The Preview Party
Friday night's preview party is one of the premier who's who events in Dayton. Open to the public (not just DAI members), the preview party allows guests to get a sneak peek of the festivities, plus some Friday-night-only special events. The party starts at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 21, and runs until 11 p.m. Premier Health Partners sponsors the opening night event, where attendees receive complimentary draft beer, wine and soft drinks or can purchase international beer and premium wine at the cash bar. Friday's event features more than 65 artisan exhibitors and 30 food vendors, with Cincinnati favorites Soul Pocket providing the soundtrack to the evening. Additional highlights include a pumpkin carving by Arctic Diamond Ice Sculpture (pumpkins to be auctioned off at the end of the evening), a bourbon tasting (there is an additional charge for the tasting), and access to the museum's galleries and the special exhibition "You Are My Superhero" (the galleries and exhibit are open from 7 – 10 p.m.).
The event will fill up, so veteran preview party attendees recommend purchasing tickets to the Friday event early. Advance tickets are $45 for museum members and $60 for non-members. All Preview Party tickets purchased at the gate are $80. Purchase advance tickets online at www.daytonartinstitute.org/oktoberfest, at the museum's visitor services desk, or by calling (937) 223-5277 during regular museum hours.
The Main Event
Oktoberfest proper kicks off at noon on both Saturday, Sept. 22 and Sunday, Sept. 23. The event, which is virtually weather-proof due to the extensive tent system, offers family-friendly entertainment during the afternoon hours on Saturday and all day Sunday, and Dayton's largest party on Saturday night.
There is a lot to do at Oktoberfest. First and foremost, check out the wildly popular "You Are My Superhero" special exhibit. It's the last weekend of the show, so if you miss it at Oktoberfest, it's gone forever, no matter how many bat-shaped spotlights you aim at the sky. Discounted admission to the special exhibit will be offered during Oktoberfest weekend, and will be $5 for non-museum members and free for museum members and children 6 and under. The regular collection galleries, which are always free of charge (but welcome donations), are also open from noon – 6 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.
On Saturday and Sunday afternoon, bring the kids to see the Superhero exhibit, then stay for the ACCO Brands FamilyFest. This portion of the event provides free art activities for the kids, from noon – 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. And check out the wandering puppets from the Zoot Theatre Company, one of the DAI's newest and most exciting partnerships.
Or, send the kids home with a sitter and check out the beer and wine selections that have made Oktoberfest famous. This year features a stellar list of both, with an exhaustive list of domestic, international, and craft beers and an impressive wine list (see sidebar for complete listing). Learn more about beer and wine during the tastings and seminars throughout Saturday and Sunday in the Weingarten. Beer geeks, don't miss the cask ale tappings at 1 pm on Saturday. This year's event features three casks (see sidebar), two of which are available in the non-cask version in the craft tent. Compare the cask and draft version to see which you prefer.
Speaking of beer, toast the winners of the fourth annual DAI Oktoberfest homebrew competition on Saturday afternoon. Judging took place on Sept. 8, but the ballots have been sealed Jeff Probst-style until they are unveiled at Saturday's Oktoberfest event. This year will see an expanded set of awards for the locally-brewed beers.
And football fans, just as in the last several years, there is no need to choose between football and supporting the arts. Catch the big game in the craft beer tent (informally dubbed the "Man Cave") on four big-screen TVs.
No party is complete without music. In the food tent, traditionalists can don their lederhosen and dance to traditional Oktoberfest music. Not into oompa music? No worries. Head to the main stage instead for some of the area's best local talent. See sidebar for complete listing.
The event always features a wide variety of unique international foods. Previous years have featured eclectic menus that ranged from traditional German fare to Asian, Greek, Caribbean, Lebanese and other ethnic specialties, as well as American fare. Many Midwest food concessionaires, Dayton-area caterers and service clubs will offer a wide variety of delicious foods.
This year's artisan wares promise the best of the best. Organizers of the event report a long waiting list of vendors competing to participate in the event. That translates into a spectacular selection of local, regional and national handcrafted pieces for event patrons to chose from.
Finally, last but not least, get your Oktoberfest stein. Just make sure you get it early – the handcrafted, limited edition mugs that have become collector's items go quickly. In previous years, mugs have sold out by mid-day Saturday (which, incidentally, is when volunteers start working on designs for next year's mugs). Guests will be able to preview this year's mug – a cobalt blue pilsner-style mug, on the DAI website before the event. Missing a year in your collection? Rumor has it that a collection of vintage mugs has also been donated and will be available for sale in very limited quantities.
The folks behind the event
In addition to the colorful stories that unfold Saturday night, one of the most interesting narratives behind Oktoberfest is that of the volunteers that run the event. The event, which is the DAI's single largest fundraiser, is 100 percent volunteer-run. The Dayton Art Institute Associate Board, a group of dedicated museum volunteers, organizes Oktoberfest annually as a fundraiser to support DAI, with all proceeds from the event benefiting The Dayton Art Institute.
The associate board is made up of 64 members (32 couples). Members serve a four-year term, working their way through the ranks, serving on a host of committees that make Oktoberfest possible (as well as the Art Ball – the other DAI fundraiser the associate board organizes). This year's chairs are John and Brandice Nairus, who are serving a rare fifth year on the associate board.
Putting together a party for thousands of your closest friends takes organization. In previous years, the associate board has maintained a hard-copy binder for the event each year that is passed from chairperson to chairperson, year after year. This year, Brandice, an IT professional in her day job, has undertaken the task of digitizing the binder so that the relevant information lives in the cloud and can be more easily accessed for future chairs.
In addition to the 64 associate board members, more than 2,000 other volunteers help with the massive task of putting on the event. Associate board members and other volunteers and staff are at the event for the entire duration, and then some. The associate board members literally leave the grounds only to sleep for six hours or so until the next day kicks off. Look for associate board members wearing lanyards identifying themselves. If you are having a good time, thank them for their efforts.
Getting tickets and getting there
Given the crowd and the extensive beer and wine selection, the organizers of Oktoberfest recommend taking the shuttle rather than trying to drive. Free parking and shuttle services are available on Sept. 22 and 23. Park at the Welch Packaging Group lot, located one mile east of University of Dayton Arena on Edwin C. Moses Blvd., and take the free shuttle to and from Oktoberfest. Visitors may also park downtown and take the free RTA Oktoberfest shuttle from stops along Main Street, Second Street and Fifth Street in the Oregon District.
Oktoberfest advance tickets may be purchased online at www.daytonartinstitute.org/oktoberfest, at the museum's visitor services desk during regular museum hours or by calling (937) 223-5277. Advance tickets may also be purchased at Arrow Wine & Spirits (all locations), Belmont Party Supply, Chappy's Tap Room, Cuvee Wine Bar & Cellar, Dorothy Lane Market (all locations) and Dublin Pub.

Research:Most of my research is interdisciplinary and is concerned with theoretical problems in materials science that lead to challenging problems in physics and mathematics. Examples are the thermodynamics of stressed solids, transport phenomena, surfaces and interfaces, phase transformations, the precise definition of chemical potentials in stressed solids, the fundamental basis of the Onsager reciprocal relations in multi-component diffusion and heat flow, and the influence of anisotropic surface tension on crystal shape. Problems dealing with phase transformations lead to difficult free boundary problems that are generalizations of the classical Stefan problem because of boundary conditions that depend on the curvature of the free boundary. One seeks to calculate and understand the factors that determine the shapes of the interfaces that separate the growing phase from the nutrient phase. Linear stability theory is used to analyze the conditions under which bodies of simple shape evolve spontaneously into more complex patterns. Non-linear analyses, frequently requiring numerical techniques, are used to track freely growing shapes and to ascertain fundamental aspects of the cellular and dendritic patterns that often result. Recent work involves the phase field model (diffuse interface) in which an additional PDE is solved in lieu of boundary tracking. The phase field model has been used to calculate the operating state (tip speed and radius of curvature) of dendrites grown at large supercoolings. Finally, there is interest in modeling the effects of g-jitter on interdiffusion in the microgravity environment of space as a stochastic process as well as the influence of fluid convection on dendritic growth on Earth.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Mitt Romney's announcement that he would, on Tuesday, release one year's worth of tax returns with estimates for 2011 was greeted favorably by Newt Gingrich.
"I think that's a very good thing he is doing," the former House speaker told "Meet the Press" on Sunday. "And I commend him for it. I think it is exactly the right thing to do and as far as I'm concerned that particular issue is now set aside and we can go on and talk about other bigger and more important things."
There's a reason Gingrich may be so willing to move on from an issue that proved so damaging to Romney in South Carolina: he's already got another transparency-related attack.
At two separate points on Sunday, Gingrich criticized the former Massachusetts governor for scrubbing computer records after leaving the statehouse.
"The governor is trying really hard to avoid answering anything," Gingrich told "Meet the Press." "On Romneycare, for example, the news reports are that they cleansed every single computer. We have no real record of how they developed it. And we have no real understanding of the overlap between his advisers and Obama's advisers, although President Obama says they are the same people."
On CNN's "State of the Union," Gingrich trotted out the same line.
"Here's a governor whose staff erased all of the computers for Romneycare," Gingrich said. "He's released no information on how they developed Romneycare."
Going after Romney for scrubbed computer records may be more effective than hitting him on his failure to disclose his tax returns. After all, Romney can neutralize the latter (release the tax returns), but not the former (those records are gone). And, as Gingrich demonstrated on Sunday, you can use the computer issue to raise questions about any portion of Romney's record from Massachusetts.
There is no indication, for example, that Romney had his staff scrub digital records to hide how he came about developing Romneycare. But Gingrich insinuated as much on Sunday.
Romney's defense of his action is that he did something neither illegal or unusual. Governors in the past have declined to submit electronic records for historical archives. And if he had decided to disclose those documents, it would have served only as fodder for attacks against him. This may be true, (and PolitiFact said as much) but it still lends itself to attack.

Medicate responsibly, urges maker of Tylenol
The maker of Tylenol has taken to the web and other media channels to educate consumers about safe use of acetaminophen.
The effort, by Johnson & Johnson's OTC arm McNeil Consumer Health, manufacturer of Tylenol, is called "Get Relief Responsibly," and comes just 10 days after the FDA urged healthcare professionals to avoid prescription combination medications with more than 325 mg of the analgesic. The initiative began in 2011, but was revamped with the launch of an enhanced consumer education website (getreliefresponsibly.com).
The regulator made the HCP-oriented recommendation, it said, primarily due to the risk of accidental overdose as well as liver damage. And three years ago, manufacturers were asked to cap acetaminophen content to 325 mg per tablet or capsule by January of this year.
The FDA in its Jan. 15 announcement, however, offered no guidance for OTC products—even though a number of such medications offer doses of 500 mg of acetaminophen and greater, like Tylenol Extra Strength. The Center for Disease Control has data—reported by ProPublica—suggesting that more than 300 people die annually as a result of acetaminophen poisoning.
In effect, the agency advised against pharmacists doling out high doses of acetaminophen, when those same options are available on store shelves an aisle away from the pharmacy counter, adding only "we will address OTC acetaminophen products in another regulatory action."
In that sense, the McNeil effort, which the company calls an "enhanced education campaign" for consumers, is a step ahead. The company would not say whether the recent FDA announcement and surrounding media coverage spurred its new initiative.
"While many of our consumer-related websites help drive consumer preference for our brands," Jodie Wertheim, director of OTC external communications for J&J, told MM&M, "the mission of the Get Relief Responsibly site is primarily focused on educating patients and consumers to use medicines (particularly those containing acetaminophen) responsibly."
The website and campaign, developed by Philly-based indie healthcare agency DiD and Publicis-owned digital-mobile-social shop MRY, offer an 11-question quiz to help dispel myths about common misconceptions, such as "if pills are the same size does that mean they have the same amount of medicine?" or that people who are taller or heavier require more medication.
It also offers videos featuring a registered nurse, Dani Englander (pictured), on how to store medication safely from children, proper dosing for infants and tips like "only take 1 medicine at a time containing acetaminophen."
Wertheim noted that J&J specifically designed the website to be mobile-optimized, in an effort to better reach consumers where they are: "Today mobile devices play a bigger role in how users view online content," she said. "We saw an opportunity to make it easier to get the information they were seeking on Get Relief Responsibly and do it with a responsive design website that gives users a consistent experience across all of their screens."
McNeil will look to extend the campaign to paid advertising and search, retail partnerships, direct mail and pharmacy kits, as well as through HCP education, Wertheim confirmed.
Correction: An earlier version of this article misstated that Tylenol is an NSAID pain reliever. The initiative, Get Relief Responsibly, began in 2011—the new effort is the launch of consumer website, GETRELIEFRESPONSIBLY.com.

How often have you dined at a bistro in Boston and wished there was a place in southern New Hampshire that offered the atmosphere and Italian cuisine you find in the North End?
That's what my co-owner Lori Sutera said in 2007, and that marked the beginning of Sabatino's North. Our inspiration comes from my father Bill, who owned the original Sabatino's in Boston and later in Malden. Lori and I – along with Robin Carney, the General Manager and A.J. Cassimiro, Lori's partner in the kitchen – all worked under Dad for many years, learned our craft from him, and have brought many of his recipes to our tables.
So, when you come in, you'll find a warm, comfortable setting, mouth-watering aromas wafting from the kitchen, and tastes that are truly authentic Italian, just like the North End. Everything is fresh and made from scratch, everything is cooked to order, and we think you'll agree we offer a great value for your dining dollar.
Our regulars always tell us coming here is like coming home. We hope that after you've tried us, you'll feel the same way!

Rudy Giuliani and the Montreal mayor's race
What can Montreal's wannabe mayors learn from Rudy Giuliani?
How to be bold? How to be brash? How to make a lot of money one day on the public speaking circuit?
In September, 2001, when New York was pulling itself out of the physical and emotional rubble of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre, U.S. president George W. Bush and his entourage were camped out in a secure bunker deep in the bowels of middle America.
But leadership was needed and Mayor Rudy Giuliani didn't disappoint, setting the tone for defiance and recovery which helped New Yawkers battle back.
Montreal, blessedly, hasn't experienced anything like 9/11.
That said, the last couple of years have been pretty harrowing in their own way for folks at City Hall and for Montreal and area taxpayers in general, with revelation upon revelation at the Charbonneau hearings about bribes, bagmen and assorted dirty dealing.
So as the campaign for a new mayor and council starts to sizzle — Denis Coderre and Richard Bergeron have now named most of their candidates; Marcel Côté and Coalition Montreal will kick off their campaign with a Sunday morning event at the Rialto — the Montreal Board of Trade/Chambre de commerce thought it might help to bring in Giuliani to offer some late campaign advice on leadership and the challenges facing the world's big cities.
Well before 9/11, Giuliani was credited with lowering the crime rate in New York so it became the safest major city in the USA. He was credited with creating 450,000 jobs and with turning the city's deficit into a surplus.
Of course, Giuliani has also had his bad days and his detractors.
But it was his performance during and after the September 11 attacks that has guaranteed him a place in history — and a second career as a leadership guru.
Here are some Rudy-isms our mayoral candidates might want to jot down for future reference.
"I'm responsible." "If the captain of the ship can't decide on the destination, the crew can't participate in the journey." "Nobody wants to be led by a pessimist. Nobody follows 'There is no hope.'" "What are my weaknesses and where can I find somebody who can compensate for them?" "It's more important to be there when things go wrong than when they're going right."
Chambre president Michel Leblanc says Giuliani's work in New York "proves that it is possible to uproot at heir very core complex issues that hinder a major city's development.
"On the eve of the November 3 municipal elections, his experience and insights are assuredly bound to inspire the aspiring next mayors of Montreal and the other cities in the metropolitan area."
Giuliani is booked to speak at a Chambre lunch at the Sheraton Centre Oct. 25. To find out more or order tickets, visit their website.
Before Giuliani comes town, however, Montrealers will have a chance to see the three leading candidates for mayor face off in a debate focused primarily on economic issues, also organized by the Chambre. The date for that event is Oct. 21.

On this unique Chile Lakes and Volcanoes holiday explore the region in depth whilst experiencing some of Chile's wonderful hospitality, wine and cuisine. Stay in the bohemian neighbourhood of Lastarria in Santiago where you can mix with locals at the Lastarria flea market selling quirky collectables and antiques. Try Chile's famous steak, a plate of ceviche or a pile of Pacific oysters at one of the sophisticated pavement cafes. But the best of Chile is beyond the capital.
Nestled in the verdant wilderness along the shores of the Liucura River near Pucon and overlooked by the majestic Andes, relax into rural life at Hacienda Vira Vira. From gentle walks and horseback riding in the lleugue and cypress forests to white water rafting on the Trancura River there is plenty of adventure on hand. For more inspirational landscapes, travel along the backbone of the country to the town of Puerto Varas. Ideally situated for day trips by car you can visit the powerful rapids of Petrohue Falls or the famous Orsono volcano one of the most active in the Southern Andes.
Depart the mainland for the Chiloe archipelago. From the accent to the architecture, Chilote and its people have a distinct culture. It's a seafaring community and there are chances to explore the fjords and channels with local fisherman or try the best of local seafood dishes. Take in the magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean accompanied by fresh mussels and a chilled glass of Chilean chardonnay.

In the middle of their Monday night loss to the Houston Texans, the New York Jets heard a cry from the wilderness.
Watching New York struggle in the passing game, free-agent wide receiver Terrell Owens tweeted at the team, reminding the Jets that he's ready and willing to help quarterback Mark Sanchez improve upon his 48.4 completion percentage.
One day later, Jets coach Rex Ryan spoke with reporters on a conference call and sounded open to the notion of adding T.O. to the fold.
"You never say never, (I'll) look at all options," Ryan said Tuesday, via Rich Cimini of ESPN New York.
The effort against Houston was admirable, but there's no playmaker on this offense following the loss of wide receiver Santonio Holmes. The Jets' passing attack can't move the ball consistently and remains stocked with no-namers. Rex is crazy enough to add Al Toon if it meant a win, but we're not sure Owens would do much.
Thirty-two teams have passed on T.O. In August, he looked the part in practices with the Seattle Seahawks, but he failed to make plays in games. The Jets already have enough of that going on, but we wouldn't put this past them.

Dominic Sena is sort of a kooky character when you first meet him, though that perceived crackpot-ness is quickly dispelled once the director starts talking about his new movie, Whiteout, which stars Kate Beckinsale and is based on the comic book written by Greg Rucka.
"I've been a fan of the novel since like '99 or so," he enthuses. "I read it then, loved it, tried to get the rights to it for years. It was always spoken for. And so when I found out [producer] Joel [Silver] got it, I called him and said, 'Listen Joel, dude, I mean I feel like I know this novel. I've made the movie already in my head. I've been a fan of it. I'm the one who should make the movie!'"
Indeed, he was the one who wound up making the movie. The story takes place in Antarctica, and it deals with the first murder to ever take place on that icy continent -- as well as the investigation that follows.
"I think the spirit of [the comic] is intact," says the helmer. "It's the same story. We've consolidated a few characters. But the story is intact; the spirit of it is intact. We've even sort of upped the ante a bit. &#Array; It's very graphic. The whiteout is insane!"
Whiteout is currently planned for a 2008 release.

This is Mommis. This is her "head shot" for Earth911, a company she's very involved in. She likes it because it tells people how to recycle stuff. I think most stuff goes into my mouth, but I guess that doesn't count as "product stewardship."
Mommis leaves us alone every Thursday to go see Jason and Larry and Jonathan and Trey and Racquel and Sheila at Earth911. She should take us with her!

10-Year-Old Suffers Facial Injuries In Pit Bull Attack
Brent Adams
Comments (0)
According to authorities, a 10-year-old boy suffered significant personal injuries to his face on April 16 when he was attacked by his neighbor's pit bull.
Ventura County, California sheriff's officials said the attack took place around 8:30 a.m. in El Rio, California.
The boy was riding a bicycle when the 100-pound dog emerged from a neighboring yard and attacked him, officials said. He fled to a cousin's house for safety.
The owner of the dog told deputies the animal was secured in the backyard. Deputies said that at that point, the dog came out again, but did not act aggressively toward them.
The owner took the dog and placed it in a patrol car. Animal control then quarantined the animal.

Founded On Fear by Peter Tyrrell
A tormented childhood in Letterfrack industrial school with the Christian Brothers left an enduring mark on Peter Tyrrell. Ignored by the authorities and distressed by his memories, he later burned himself to death on Hampstead Heath in London. His story of horrific abuse is told with childlike simplicity, penned in a series of letters to Senator Owen Sheehy Skeffington. Bringing to life, with touching sincerity, a shocking reality where beatings of children as young as five were commonplace, this startling account may have gone unpublished if not for its chance discovery amongst Skeffington's papers. At last, Peter Tyrrell has been given a voice.
Tyrrell never recovered from the abuse that he suffered, yet was determined that his story should be heard. His memoir makes for harrowing yet extraordinarily compelling reading. It is impossible not to be touched. (via Goodreads)
My views: This is one of those books I just had to read since it had so many elements I am interested in – Ireland, Catholic education and the rights of children (or in this case, the lack of them). I was prepared not to be shocked, but one can never be unmoved by the suffering of a child and the cruelty of adults – especially those who are supposed to be 'men of God'. That a young boy attempted to express this all – and was finally heard, albeit too late, is deeply touching.

Cassina 721 Antropus Cassina 721 Antropus
The Antropus armchair by Marco Zanuso, experimentation takes the spotlight In 1948 The Skin of Our Teeth by Thornton Wilder was one of the first comedies performed at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan. Zanuso – who also designed the interior of the theatre with E. N. Rogers in 1952 and, years later, the new site - was commissioned to design the scenery and furnishings for this play. These included an armchair for which he used new materials with which he had been experimenting and that he named the Antropus. This completely upholstered armchair is distinguished by its depth, which makes a large and comfortable seat, contained by lateral panels with a sleek and sinuous profile. This armchair is also available in an iconic edition upholstered in pink fabric to underline the originality of the design. Measurements: 77x102xh.86cm Materials: upholstery: leather or fabric frame: foam-covered iron with polyurethane foam padding.

Getting a good night's sleep will figure out how the rest of one's day turns out and a poor sleep can drastically influence one's day to working day activities. As humans spend eight (8) hours or more sleeping, it is important that one finds a good quality mattress to give them a good and healthy sleep. Upgrading one's mattress therefore is important and one of the best mattresses on the market today are those produced from memory foam or visco-elastic foam. These foams are able to offer pressure stage relief as they conform to the sleeping person's body form and are thermal delicate, adjusting to the person's body temperature.
What You Need to Know
For all those who are interested in buying a Amerisleep item online or in the market to get a new mattress to replace their old ones, right here are some things which you need to know when it comes to buying a memory foam mattress. Every mattress is designed differently and understanding these attributes would assist one determine the proper mattress kind that would suit their needs.
1 of the first issues to consider is the firmness of the mattress that one wants. The mattress firmness ranges from gentle to medium to firm. Some people favor firmer mattresses while others experience much better sleep with softer mattresses. The best way to check the firmness is to check the density count of the mattress. The higher the quantity, the denser or firmer the foam. Sleeping positions also affect the type of foam that one needs with aspect sleepers requiring a three to 4 lbs. density whilst those who sleep on their back or abdomen could find a good night's sleep with a denser foam of about 5lbs and up. Do note however the higher the density of the froth the higher the warmth retention and the more expensive it is.
The thickness and size of the mattress are other things that one should consider when looking for memory foam mattresses. A sleeping person is said to move about a number of occasions at night and this does not include sleeping with a companion. Choosing a mattress that is larger and thicker will assist alleviate any pressure delicate area and also permit 1 to sleep comfortably without disturbing their sleeping partners because the foam retains the sleeping position of the person.
Lastly, memory foam mattresses generally come with mattress toppers and it can be perfect for those who weigh more than 250 lbs. As these mattresses are not designed for heavier individuals weighing more than 250 lbs., getting a topper would add support to the mattress.

SARATOGA SPRINGS >> Birthday celebrations for most last a day, maybe a weekend, but Saratoga Springs is celebrating its 100th year with an entire year of festivities.
Mayor Joanne Yepsen and the Saratoga Springs Centennial Committee kicked off the celebration Tuesday with an overview of the events to come over the course of this year.
The First Night fireworks on New Year's Eve officially kicked off the celebration. Throughout the coming months, celebrations include the unveiling of Centennial park, a gift by honorary co-chairs Marylou Whitney and John Hendrickson, rededication of the Spirit of Life, museum exhibits and the rededication of High Rock Springs. The celebration will also incorporate existing Spa City traditions, including opening day at Saratoga Race Course, an extended Saratoga Shakespeare season and a specialized series of brown bag lunches at the public library.
"In addition to many events around the city, we're honored and excited to present such a diverse list of unique centennial project, from the History of Saratoga Centennial book, with contributions from 25 authors , to the planting of legacy centennial trees around the city," said committee co-chair Eleanor Mullaney.
Sustainable Saratoga has launched a project to plant a variety of trees -- 100 total -- in various public spaces, specifically main streets and buildings, plazas and cemeteries. The group plans to create a Centennial Tree map as the trees are planted.
A centennial book written as a collaborative effort by more than 25 individual author is expected to be printed in late spring. The project was conceived by local historian Field Horne and is intended to serve as an updated history guide.
Saratoga Springs was officially changed from a village to a city with the creation of a city charter and the first meeting of a five-member city council. The first meeting of the city council in 1915 included creation of ordinances, including speeding restrictions for street travel of no faster than one mile in four minutes buy both horse and by car. On April 7, a celebration is planned for the day Albany officials officially incorporated Saratoga Springs as a city. Tentative plans include a re-enactment of the first meeting to the city council and an official celebration of the first meeting is slated for June 22.
In the fall, the city will rededicate High Rock Springs as the origin of the of the city due to restoration funding from the Alfred Solomon Foundation.
"Projects like the re-piping of High Rock Spring are such significant accomplishment for the City of Saratoga Springs," said Steve "Sully" Sullivan, co-chair of the centennial committee. "Long treasured by the Mohawk people for its healing powers, the spring is the site of the founding location of the city."
Other various historical events are planned including a presentation on the history of the Saratoga Springs Public Library, history of transportation and foods invented in Saratoga Springs.
Impressions of Saratoga at 368 Broadway will stock various centennial merchandise and n. Fox Jewelers will sell pendants featuring the Spirit of Life silhouette , available in silver and gold.
The Saratoga Springs History Museum exhibit will be "Mapping a City: Saratoga Springs as seen through 200 Years of Maps." The exhibition is scheduled to open Tuesday, April 14 at the museum, located in the Canfield Casino. This is a partnership exhibit including the History Museum, The Tang Museum, Skidmore College, the Saratoga Springs Public library, the Saratoga Springs City Historian and the Saratoga County Historian.
"The Saratogians of 1915 took action because they believed they were making the city a better place. In this centennial year, let us all renew that commitment, for the next century and all the years to follow," Yepsen said.
For a full list of events, details on the celebration and historical information, log on to saratogacentennial.com.

Offensive Backs Top 12
1. RB Ezekiel Elliott
2. QB Jared Goff
3. QB Carson Wentz
4. RB Derrick Henry
5. QB Paxton Lynch
6. RB Kenneth Dixon
7. RB Devontae Booker
8. QB Dak Prescott
9. QB Connor Cook
10. RB Josh Ferguson
11. QB Christian Hackenberg
12. QB Brandon Doughty
Bench Press: NA
40-Yard Dash: 4.47 sec
Career Stats: 27 starts, 39 games, 3961 rushing yards, 6.7 yards per carry, 101.6 rushing yards per game, 43 rushing touchdowns, 58 receptions, 449 receiving yards and 1 receiving touchdown.
Notes: Elliott could be an every-down back in the NFL as he has a great combination of power and speed along with the ability to block. He is the only Ohio State Buckeye with three carries of at least 80 yards. His hands as a receiver could be refined, but isn't below par for a back. His maturity and workload in college will be something teams look into.
2. QB Jared Goff (Jr. 6-4 215) California
Bench Press: NA
40-Yard Dash: 4.82 sec
Career Stats: 37 games, 144.0 QB rating, 62.3 percent completion, 12195 passing yards, 329.6 passing yards per game, 96 passing touchdowns, 30 interceptions and 1 rushing touchdown.
Notes: Goff feels the pocket with excellent footwork and movement. He has a great all-around arm, capable of making every level of throws. The Cal Bear needs more time taking snaps under center and interceptions is another area to improve.
3. QB Carson Wentz (r-Sr. 6-5 237) North Dakota State
Bench Press: NA
40-Yard Dash: 4.77 sec
Career Stats: 43 games, 64 percent completion, 5115 passing yards, 119 passing yards per game, 45 passing touchdowns, 14 interceptions, 1028 rushing yards, 4.8 yards per carry, 23.9 rushing yards per game, 13 rushing touchdowns, 1 reception, 16 receiving yards and 1 receiving touchdown.
Notes: Wentz may be the quarterback prospect with a first round grade in most need of further refinement, but he is more advanced in other ways than the top QBs of the Draft such as reps under center and an athletic body primed for the NFL. He is effective with reading blocks as a rusher and he has a good arm. The former Bison has experience in a multiple offense, which should also bode well for his transition.
4. RB Derrick Henry (Jr. 6-3 244) Alabama
Bench Press: 22 reps
40-Yard Dash: 4.54 sec
Career Stats: 41 games, 3591 rushing yards, 6 yards per carry, 87.6 rushing yards per game, 42 rushing touchdowns, 17 receptions, 285 receiving yards, 16.8 yards per catch and 3 receiving touchdowns.
Notes: Henry is a powerful workhorse with strong legs and great speed for his size. He is a decorated college player, after setting an SEC single-season rushing record along with winning the Heisman Trophy and National Championship. The biggest question mark will be if his style of play can hold up in the modern day NFL.
5. QB Paxton Lynch (r-Jr. 6-7 244) Memphis
Bench Press: NA
40-Yard Dash: 4.86 sec
Career Stats: 38 games, 63 percent completion, 137.0 QB rating, 8863 passing yards, 233.2 passing yards per game, 59 passing touchdowns, 23 interceptions, 687 rushing yards, 2.4 yards per carry, 18.1 rushing yards per game and 17 rushing touchdowns.
Notes: Memphis may not be known for producing quarterbacks, but Lynch has a great natural arm with the ability to add zip on passes or go deep down field. He is a dual threat who can run on either designed plays or scrambles. Moving forward, he'll have to learn more advanced reads and other pro nuances.
6. RB Kenneth Dixon (Sr. 5-10 222) Louisiana Tech
Bench Press: 18 reps
40-Yard Dash: 4.58 sec
Career Stats: 47 games, 4480 rushing yards, 5.6 yards per carry, 95.3 rushing yards per game, 72 rushing touchdowns, 88 receptions, 972 receiving yards, 11 yards per catch, 20.7 receiving yards per game and 15 receiving touchdowns.
Notes: Dixon has the experience and bulk to be an NFL running back. He sees the field well and is gritty enough to help as a blocker, but he may be more of a contributor rather than star at the next level.
7. RB Devontae Booker (Sr. 5-11 216) Utah
Bench Press: 22 reps
40-Yard Dash: NA
Career Stats: 17 games, 2106 rushing yards, 5 yards per carry, 123.9 rushing yards per game, 15 rushing touchdowns, 59 receptions, 472 receiving yards, 8 yards per catch, 27.8 receiving yards per game and 2 receiving touchdowns.
Notes: Booker is excellent at reading gaps and has good hands as a receiver. The biggest concern may be that he is shopworn after coming off a knee injury in 2015.
8. QB Dak Prescott (r-Sr. 6-2 227) Mississippi State
Bench Press: NA
40-Yard Dash: 4.79 sec
Career Stats: 49 games, 33 starts (23-10), 62.8 percent completion, 146.1 QB rating, 9376 passing yards, 191.3 passing yards per game, 70 passing touchdowns, 23 interceptions, 2521 rushing yards, 4.7 yards per carry, 41 rushing touchdowns, 4 receptions, 88 receiving yards, 22 yards per catch and 3 receiving touchdowns.
Notes: While Prescott isn't a pocket passer, he is a dual threat and has improved as a passer. His strength and athleticism will give him a solid chance as an NFL quarterback, but he'll have to continue improve in the pocket.
9. QB Connor Cook (r-Sr. 6-4 215) Michigan State
Bench Press: NA
40-Yard Dash: 4.79 sec
Career Stats: 43 games, 39 starts (34-5), 57.5 percent completion, 139.8 QB rating, 9194 passing yards, 213.8 passing yards per game, 71 passing touchdowns, 22 interceptions, 209 rushing yards, 1.2 yards per carry and 3 rushing touchdowns.
Notes: Cook is a winning quarterback, who played under center in a pro-style offense, but his arm strength is average and he has questionable accuracy.
10. RB Josh Ferguson (r-Sr. 5-9 196) Illinois
Bench Press: 21 reps
40-Yard Dash: 4.48 sec
Career Stats: 47 games, 2586 rushing yards, 5.1 yards per carry, 55 rushing yards per game, 18 rushing touchdowns, 168 receptions, 1507 receiving yards, 32.1 receiving yards per game, 8 receiving touchdowns, 22 passing yards, 1 passing touchdown, 381 kick return yards and 18.1 yards per kick return.
Notes: Ferguson is a strong fast runner who's not afraid to utilize a stiff arm on the edge, but he can also catch the ball consistently. However, he is not much of a power inside rusher and has issues with fumbles.
11. QB Christian Hackenberg (Jr. 6-4 222) Penn State
Bench Press: NA
40-Yard Dash: 4.78 sec
Career Stats: 38 games, 56.1 percent completion, 121.4 QB rating, 8457 passing yards, 222.6 passing yards per game, 48 passing touchdowns, 31 interceptions, 6 rushing touchdowns, 1 reception, 14 receiving yards and 1 receiving touchdown.
Notes: Hackenberg has sharp short passes and can launch the ball deep, but he relies on his arm strength often, resulting in throwing to bad spots. He does have the excuse of poor coaching and a bad offense line causing sub-par numbers in college, but he was a high-rated prospect coming out of high school who never fully blossomed.
12. QB Brandon Doughty (Gr. 6-3 213) Western Kentucky
Bench Press: NA
40-Yard Dash: 5.22 sec
Career Stats: 43 games, 68.6 percent completion, 161 QB rating, 12855 passing yards, 299 passing yards per game, 111 passing touchdowns, 34 interceptions, 3 rushing touchdowns, 1 reception, 7 receiving yards and 1 receiving touchdown.
Notes: As a statistically prolific college quarterback, Doughty's productivity benefited from playing in a spread offense. He is incredibly accurate and can throw on the run, but he has so-so arm strength.

Clustered together near the center of the island you'll find these babies; mud baths, supposedly good for your health and skin so long as you don't inhale it. You can always wash it off in one of the many waterfall pools so why not take a little dip?
Most are perfectly comfortable with taking a crawl into the warm mud, though we would recommend the good ole hand test since these are heated by magma, you know. Or you could just hope the one you dive in won't boil your body parts.
◒ Common
Pokemon commonly found in this varying terrain are Bug, Fire, Ground, Poison and Water types.
◒ Uncommon

Resources for writers with little time and even less money, who are on the journey to publication.
What Makes You Want to Write?
Have you ever read a book that stayed with you after you closed the cover? It's books like these that make me want to sit down and start typing. They give me the desire to give the same experience to my readers. The first time someone told me that my story made them cry was the moment I felt like a real writer. Never mind that I was not published and didn't have an agent. It touched someone. That was enough for me.
So I'm thinking today about what makes me grab a pen and start writing.
Reading books.When I read a well-written book, even if it's not perfect, it energizes me to write. I want to be able to create a mood, or make a reader fall in love with a character. Occasionally, I get discouraged, thinking, "I'll never be able to write like that." But even the best authors started somewhere. And reading great writing is probably one of the things that helped them grow.
Watching movies.Good plotting is a hallmark of good movies. Watching masterful film making and screenplay writing helps me discover areas of my story that can be cut. I like to watch the deleted scenes, especially when the director explains why a perfectly good scene (sometimes his favorite scene) didn't make it into the final movie. Usually it's because it didn't move the story forward. I know I've got scenes like that in my manuscript.
Observing people. I took my daughter to the airport yesterday. While I waited for her flight to take off, I had a chance to watch the travelers going by. It amazes me how watching people makes me long to describe my characters better. It's not just the different hairstyles and facial characteristics. It's the questions that pop up in my mind. Why is the mousy older woman carrying such a flamboyant purse? What does the unusually shaped package contain? Why does the young man make eye contact with every person he passes? Questions like these had me looking for my notebook.
Listening to music.The long, icy drive to the airport was accompanied by a variety of music that I don't always listen to, courtesy of my daughters and niece in the car. But it's good for me to listen to songs outside of the genres I gravitate to. I end up really listening to the words, the mood, the textural combination of instruments, and I often start thinking through a scene in my story, coming up with alternate ways for it to go.
Beautiful scenery.Back to the airport trip. My travels took me along the front range of the Rocky Mountains, first in a snowstorm, and then in the blue-skied, bright aftermath. The sun burning off the fog that covered the mountains, the pine needles frozen in place with the numbing cold--each turn of the road brought a fresh vision that could be translated into a story.
So that's my list--so far. What's on yours?
6 comments:
I'm exactly the same way--reading books has become my number 1 way to not only stay inspired, but to learn new directions to take.ReplyDelete
Reading how-to books by writers I find to be a great way for me to keep going back for more. Learning how other writers think, feel, and how they run their careers gives me the momentum to keep my thinking flexible.
Watching movies and television is huge for me too--I focus more on the characters and the development of their lives more than I do the plotline, at times. Especially with television shows, because the ones you watch on a regular basis makes it as if the characters are a part of your family.
Music is definitely my greatest inspiration. But reading is one too, for sure.ReplyDelete
Even reading someone else's prompts, or hearing a one-liner about what they're inspired about, can inspire me!
Reading a great story inspires me to write.ReplyDelete
Listening to great music inspires what I write.
Sometimes, though, it's not that I want to write at all. I'd much rather be watching my favourite T.V. show, or sleeping, but no, I'm in front of the computer slaving away because I will find no peace until that scene is written.
It can be quite hellish sometimes!
Great ideas! As far as music is concerned, I like it quiet when I'm writing, but I love to brainstorm scenes (usually in the car) with music to help my imagination.ReplyDelete
Reading great stories and watching amazing movies does inspire me, but sometimes reading something I didn't like very much motivates me too. It's almost like I want to make something more suited to my tastes after I find something that doesn't match me well.ReplyDelete

Absolutely, Carla. Sometimes I wish I could rewrite the plot of (otherwise excellent) novels. It definitely is motivating.ReplyDelete
