We've been having some fun with the Sklar brothers of late, but it does appear that this feud we've finally discovered between them and Bill Simmons has been going on for a while. Well, perhaps "feud" is the wrong word. But it has definitely become heated, as heated as anything can become in the online sports comedy world.
In an interview on comedy site A Special Thing, the brothers address Simmons' apparent dislike of them.
Look, we've really tried to take the high road on this topic and just not engage for a number of reasons. ... The crazy thing is, we've never met the guy. So we don't know for sure if he really hates us. All we can go by is what we've read in his column. And he has taken many shots at us and Cheap Seats in the three years that we've been on the air at ESPN Classic.
Now if we had gone after him on our show, and he was responding, that's one thing. But his rips are totally unprovoked, which signals to us, as well as to some of his own readers, that he's jealous. The bummer of it all is this: we feel like many people who read his column and enjoy his humor, would also enjoy Cheap Seats. And now they won't watch because he's telling them not to.
In the past, we might have put together a poll as to who would win in a fight, but the notion of these guys fighting makes us long for Tonya Harding matches.

With kind thanks to Justin McCutcheon for bringing this to my attention,Previously I'd posted a link to the David Friedman Collection maintained by the Benson Ford Research Center at The Henry Ford. Then it had just been launched, with but a rudimentary taste afforded concerning just what might be sampled - presumably on-site or via correspondence with archivists on the scene. The later is still very much possible of course, but I didn't monitor matters to fully understand and/or appreciate how much is now simply up and accessible for little effort made. Now a very enviable and powerful resource - a very mature and web-friendly archive waiting for you to inspect in detail. Do see:http://www.flickr.com/photos/thehenryford/collections/72157628488413505/Mike K. P.S. Afford them feedback consistent with correcting errors of classification and identification made to help sort matters out. As this was written, the '69 Mission Bell 250 file was actually from '68.

The 10 Worst Presidents
Who made the list? They are:
1. James Buchanan (No surprise there!)
2. Warren G. Harding
3. Andrew Johnson
4. Franklin Pierce
5. Millard Fillmore
6. John Tyler
7. Ulysses S. Grant
8. William Harrison
9. (tie) Herbert Hoover
9. (tie) Richard Nixon
10. Zachary Taylor
I do not think it is fair to have Harrison on the list. He was not President long enough to give an assessment of his presidential abilities. There is also a brief overview of each "bad" president. I love this paragraph on Harding. "Warren G. Harding's claim to infamy rests on spectacular ineptitude captured in his own pathetic words: "I am not fit for this office and should never have been here." A former publisher who won a string of offices in his native Ohio, he was an unrestrained womanizer noted for his affability, good looks, and implacable desire to please. It was good, his father once told him, that he hadn't been born a girl, "because you'd be in the family way all the time. You can't say no."

Although I was not surprised by Herbert Hoover being among the 10 Worst, I recently read a book entitled, "Second Acts" which shed some light on Hoover's post-presidential life. Though he was well aware that he was blamed for much of the Depression (not acting responsibly or quickly enough to divert the impending depression), he really tried to make amends. He depended on his successors to ask of his opinion, though not all were so willing!
- elektratig said...
Thanks for the tip. I've posted some thoughts about the list here.

I have to agree that it is pretty unfair to list Harrison on that list when the man really didn't have a chance. A lot of polls I've seen don't even include him on the voting list of that reason!
Some of these men were also kind of stuck into a bad situation: Andrew Johnson and John Tyler. Both became president upon the death of the prior president and were hated by their legislatures. I just learned that Congress actually refused to vote Tyler any funds for upkeep on the White House because they were unhappy with his politics!

How can that list not include Carter?

Weekend Baking Project: S'mores Brownie Bars

All About Chocolate
Everything you want to know about chocolate
We here at Serious Eats like to think that we're always one step ahead of food trends, clairvoyant and all-seeing into what people want to eat next. OK, not really, but given the fact that pastry chefs across the country are going wild for updated versions of childhood sweets, it is pretty cool that we nailed it back in 2011. Case in point: these S'mores Brownie Bars. To make the childhood treat a little more grownup, a layer of intense, bittersweet chocolate is sandwiched between a graham cracker crust and a toasted mini-marshmallow topping. Also great for people who find themselves rained out of the great outdoors.

John Lennon Shares Beatles 'Hell' in Recently Unearthed Interview
A long-lost interview with John Lennon, conducted around the time of the Beatles' 'Let It Be' album, but only recently unearthed, delves into the difficulties the band experienced during its final days in the recording studio together.
As Classic Rock Magazine reports, the interview finds Lennon speaking with characteristic bluntness where the Beatles are concerned, referring to the experience of recording 'Let It Be' as "torture" and saying on behalf of the band, "We were going through hell ... We never really finished it. We didn't really want to do it. Paul [McCartney] was hustling for us to do it. It's the Beatles with their suits off."
The Beatles' difficulties during the 'Let It Be' sessions are well known by now, but according to Lennon, they were nothing new. "It's torture every time we produce anything," he told Village Voice columnist Howard Smith. "The Beatles haven't got any magic you haven't got. We suffer like hell anytime we make anything. We've got each other to contend with. Imagine working with the Beatles -- it's tough. There's just tension. It's tense every time the red light goes on."
Part of the problem, admitted Lennon, was a clash of songwriting egos. "In the old days Paul and I wrote most of the songs because George [Harrison] wasn't prolific," he recalled. "We encouraged him to an extent. Subconsciously we would have just made sure we got the LP for ourselves. Now there's three of us all trying to squash ourselves onto 14 tracks. Do we make a double album every time? That's why I broke out with the Plastic Ono Band."
At this point, rumors of a Beatles split were already rampant, and although Lennon stopped short of coming out and saying they were true, he more or less admitted the band's days as a unit were over. "I don't know if there will ever be another Beatles product with the four of us on again ... Ringo [Starr]'s left once; George has left once for a couple of days. It's an anti-climax to the build-up of the myth. The myth is bigger than the three guitarists and a drummer. I'm inclined to leave them with the myth. If the Beatles would split open the group a bit and have Yoko [Ono], Billy Preston, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Elvis Presley in the group I might be interested. But as the Fab Four, I'm not personally interested in going out like that."

2 comments:
The Hlist
Mike Hlas
Cedar Rapids Gazette
1. Carr Revved: Suddenly, Michigan Coach Lloyd Carr is no longer known as LLLLLoyd Carr.
The man who has coached four Big Ten titlists and a national champion improved to 4-1 all-time against No. 2-ranked teams, 82 against Top Five teams, and 16-6 against Top 10 foes when his Wolverines devoured Notre Dame, 47-21.
"If you coach enough of these games, you're going to win some and lose some," said WWWWWoyd Carr, who still isn't very glib, but did quiet many of his critics.
More quotable was Michigan defensive tackle Alan Branch, who said "I knew our defense was a special group, so really I'm not surprised at all. . . . I really see no limit to our talent."
Notre Dame Coach Charlie Weis hadn't shared Branch's foresight.
"I'm surprised from me on down how we laid an egg," Weis said.
2. Free Cheese: Nobody quite understood what Florida safety Tony Joiner was trying to say last week before the Gators went to Tennessee.
"We really want to get into somebody else and take their cheese," Joiner said. "Make a sandwich in the kitchen. Ham and cheese with a little turkey, mustard and mayonnaise."
Maybe he was hungry.
Florida won, 21-20. The cold cuts probably tasted great.
3. Orange Not Blue: Syracuse is giddy after snapping its 11-game losing streak with a 31-21 conquest of Illinois.
"Guys are going to feel good walking on campus. They're going to actually feel good about themselves," said Orange quarterback Perry Patterson after the game. "It's a nice sunny day. It's a nice day for the Syracuse team."
Asked if he was relieved to bury the losing streak, SU Coach Greg Robinson said: "It's not about relief to me. I'm fired up."
4. Alive and Kicking: Northern Colorado scored on a blocked punt in its 14-13 upset over 2005 Division I-AA national semifinalist Texas State. It was NCU's first road win in three years.
Which added surprise to weirdness, since Northern lost two punters during the week when starter Rafael Mendoza was treated for a 3- to 5-inch puncture wound after being stabbed in the thigh of his kicking leg. Backup punter Mitch Cozad was arrested, accused of knifing Mendoza.
NCU strong safety Jason Hildebrand punted six times for a 29.3-yard average before getting hurt in the third quarter. Next was Michael York, whose first punt went 8 yards. But his team intercepted a pass on the next play.
Hildebrand called the week ''bizarre to say the least."
1. Swagger Staggers: The 1-2 Miami Hurricanes thoroughly embarrassed themselves before and during their 31-7 loss at Louisville.
First, they stomped on the Cardinals' logo at midfield of Papa John's Stadium (known as the "Pizza Palace"). Then they got stomped.
"You never win off swagger," Miami quarterback Kyle Wright said. "It's all nice to jump at midfield on the logo, but if you don't go out and take care of business, it's nothing.
"It's fake hype. I'm tired of it."
Miami Coach Larry Coker is in the second year of a five-year contract worth almost $2 million a year. Two words leap to mind: "Buy" and "Out."
2. Banned Band: Stanford's notoriously raucous marching band missed the school's first football game at new $100 million Stanford Stadium.
The band is on suspension until at least the end of September for members' alleged vandalism of an on-campus trailer with spray paint and sledgehammers.
Navy's band put on the halftime show and played Stanford's fight song on occasion. It didn't help the home team, which got pounded, 37-9.
"I honestly don't know what to say," said Evan Moore, a receiver for the 0-3 Cardinal. "It's just embarrassing."
The Stanford band should send its school's administration a thank-you note for being withheld from the rout.
3. Thud: We hate to pick on Indiana, since Hoosiers Coach Terry Hoeppner had brain surgery last week.
But a 35-28 home loss to I-AA Southern Illinois marked the first time in 18 tries that a Gateway Conference team beat a Big Ten opponent.
"I say a Big Ten school is a college just like us," said Salukis cornerback Craig Turner.
"They have a few more scholarships (85 to 63) than we do. That's all."
That's big talk. If Southern Illinois beats a good team on its schedule, like Northern Iowa, then Turner can brag.
4. Three Key Points: Minnesota's Jason Giannini kicked a 41-yard field goal with 3:50 left in the Gophers' game against Temple. That was huge, since Minnesota held a slim 59-0 lead over the hapless Owls before the field goal secured a glorious 62-0 triumph.
"I knew that in some respect, they would be outmanned," said Minnesota Coach Glen Mason.
The Hlist guesses Mason knew it the day he put Temple on the Gophers' schedule.
"It could've been worse for Coach Bill Callahan. He could've woken up today and still been the coach of the Raiders." - T.J. Simers of the Los Angeles Times.
Callahan's Nebraska team was dominated by USC, 28-10.
"I'll be nice about that and politically correct like you're supposed to. But that was the sorriest offensive effort I've ever seen. Today, I coached the worst offense in America." - Texas Tech's Mike Leach, after his club's 12-3 loss at TCU.
- Cool Hand Mike said...
"...Tyrone Prothro's third surgery is "not a setback."
No, a twisted ankle is a setback. I will feel fortunate to ever see that young man walk without a limp again. My personal opinion is that he will never play another down in football.
On a happier note, I would love to see Mike Shula give him a coaching position, grad assistant at least. Tyrone stuck with Alabama through the worst years in their history. You almost have to reward someone with that much loyalty to this school. Every painting and picture that is and will be produced of Tyrone's catch against Southern Miss will be money in the school's pocket.
As soon as the school is done honoring his scholarship, they need to help him out financially.

Lesbian couples and single women won landmark parental rights tonight, as the House of Commons voted to remove the requirement that fertility clinics consider a child's need for a father.
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill will replace the rule with a "need for supportive parenting", after two amendments that would have restored the original clauses were defeated by unexpectedly wide margins.
While the Government had been prepared for defeat, it won the free votes by majorities of 75 and 68.
The decisions mean that the legislation will grant the most significant extention to homosexual family rights since gay adoption was sanctioned.
It will prevent fertility clinics from turning away lesbians and single women because their children will not have a father or male role model. While the current law does not block such therapy, it is sometimes used to justify refusals
I've stated rumours of the impending death of Britain's society (or what's left of it) several times before, and clearly these rumours were not exaggerated.
It's bad enough that a bunch of Marxist twats have formally declared fathers to be all but worthless, but on top of that there's the hypocrisy; is Child Support going to be abolished? If they and their 'supportive parenting' is not needed, are fathers who are absent from their children's lives - voluntarily or otherwise - going to be let off the hook for Child Support? No, of course not. Fuck 'em, squeeze 'em for every penny they've got. They don't mean shit save for what funds they've got to steal for women's benefit.
Dawn Primarolo, the Health Minister, said that the current law was a "practical impediment" to lesbian couples seeking fertility treatment and that it was right to replace it.
It was a "practical impediment" for a good reason you moron; to prevent it! To prevent man-hating lezzers from getting to have children, who anyone but a Marxist twit would realise would have an upbringing somewhat less supportive, stable and above all normal than a child raised by his/her mother and father.
The legislation was "fair, it offers equitable access and it recognises the complexities of the Britain we live in today," she said.
I suppose one could describe modern-day Britain as complex.
'Crime-ridden', 'over-taxed', 'Marxist', 'Orwellian', 'shit' and 'fucking doomed' are other descriptions one could employ, due in large part to feminism/socialism and it's total trashing of the society it took so long to build.
"What counts is the quality of parenting."
And here was me thinking that the best quality of parenting a child could receive would be from the child's parents, not some dumb single career-gal or a rug-muncher and her dyke 'wife' and some anonymous guy who wanked into a jar in exchange for some beer money who'll never know (or probably care) if his cock-snot ever made a baby or not.

Jessica Vaughn hesitated to get into the water because it was "dark and murky."
"I didn't like that I couldn't see what was in there," the 22-year-old said Monday as she clutched a toy stuffed dolphin.
But she wanted to go tubing, so she jumped from her friend's 22-foot Mako boat and swam on her back toward the yellow and blue tubes.
That's when she felt something hit her right leg.

"It felt like a punch," said Vaughn as she recounted her run-in with what is believed to have been a shark in the Intracoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale.
It turned out to be more than a punch. The shark ripped into her leg with such force that it left deep teethmarks.
In good spirits Monday, sporting an Ace bandage cast up to her knee and using a wheelchair, Vaughn described Sunday's encounter as "scary." She is recovering at Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale.
"I can't believe it happened," she said, through an occasional chuckle. "It's definitely something you wouldn't expect."
In fact, attacks by sharks in the brackish Intracoastal and not the salty ocean are extremely rare, said John Carlson, a shark expert with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"I can't remember the last time there was a shark attack in an Intracoastal Waterway," he said. "It was quite surprising to me when I heard about it."
The attack came as a shock to everyone — especially Peter Hogge, captain of the boat named Pie Rat.
"We've seen them, but you never think someone would get bitten," said Hogge, who frequently takes his boat out on the Intracoastal.
On Sunday, the group of five got the boat ready about 11:30 a.m. for a long day of water and sun. They headed to the ocean, but couldn't go tubing because the tide was too high. So they headed back to the Intracoastal, where there is a short speed zone.
They were about 150 feet from his grandparents' condo at Bayshore Towers. He tied the tubes to the boat and idled while Vaughn and Kyle Branston swam out.
After Vaughn was bitten, Branston scooped her up and swam back to the boat.
"If I panicked, they probably freak out some more," Vaughn said about her reaction to the bite. "I thought there was a lot of blood."
Once at the dock, Hogge and some other friends used the boat's first aid kit to apply a bandage above the wound to stop the bleeding.
Fort Lauderdale Deputy Fire Chief Timothy Heiser said the department received a call about 1:30 p.m. Vaughn was already off the boat when rescuers arrived.
"She was very well-bandaged," Heiser said.
While the boaters could not say what kind of shark it was, Carlson said it probably was a bull shark. The group described it as being about four feet long. "Bull sharks have a good tolerance" for conditions in an estuary like the Intracoastal, he said.
Such attacks are rarely fatal, he said. "It bites the individual mistakenly and then leaves the vicinity."
Florida led the United States in shark attacks in 2013, according to the University of Florida.
In October, a 6-year-old boy from Alabama survived a shark attack in Miami Beach. Logan Hamby was playing in the shallow waters off of the Deauville Beach Resort at 67th Street and the ocean when his family witnessed the attack.
Logan had been playing in the water for only a couple of minutes when his stepmother, Donna, saw Logan being pulled underwater, screaming. Then she saw the fin.
Donna's husband, Ken, was the first to get to Logan. When he grabbed Logan to get him out of the water, the shark would not let go. Two men rushed to help Ken by punching the shark to get it to let go of Logan's leg. The boy suffered deep puncture wounds.
"When we go back to Miami, I'm only swimming in the swimming pool," Logan said.
Derek Burkholder, a research scientist at Nova Southeastern University's Guy Harvey Research Institute, said "infection is one of the big issues with a shark bite."
"It's is an open wound," Burkholder said. "They do have a lot of bacteria in their mouth."
Vaughn's surgeon, Dr. Zoran Potparic, said Monday that Vaughn was lucky.
"It was probably the largest shark bite that I have seen," Potparic said. He said most of the damage was to the skin and blood vessels, although some of the leg muscles were affected by the "crush" of the shark's jaws.
Although Vaughn was rescued and is on the mend, Potparic said she is not out of danger. For the next few days, doctors plan to monitor her for infection. Her recovery, they estimated, will take three to four months.
Meanwhile, Vaughn, who grew up in South Florida, said she is just happy it wasn't worse. As a server at Bru's Room in Sunrise, she does not have insurance. An account has been set up at www.gofundme.com/9rujd0 to help pay her medical expenses. By Monday evening, more than $6,000 had been raised toward a goal of $45,000.
Vaughn said she loves the water and plans to go back in.
"It's a one in a million chance," she said. "My luck, it happened."

Springtime Tea Luncheon:
27th April 2011
The Engineers Pub nestling in the heart of Primrose Hill was great gastro-pub that played host to an unusual tea luncheon jointly hosted by Ed (Manager) and Henrietta Lovell (The RareTeaLady and Tea Extraordinaire.) I say 'was' because this Autumn M&B pub chain overtook the pub and the Team and great offering has since moved to the Hampshire Hog (in Ravenscourt Park, London, W6).
I've come across Henrietta Tea's in fine dining restaurants such as Dinner and in the aisles of Waitrose. Her mission is simple, to introduce tea-drinkers to great quality loose tea and 'de-bag' Britain. Ed an appreciator of the 'finer things in life' brought the tea to life in another dimension by mixing them into alcoholic concoctions.
To start the event with a kick, we were served a Jasmine, Elderflower & Hendricks Punch, using a heavenly scented silver tip
Double baked Gruyere & Dorstone goats cheese soufflé, basil puree, tomato compote & confit cherry tomatoes
With Iced Chinese Oolong cocktail
Green Tea-smoked sea trout ballotine, pickled cucumber, fennel, shimijii mushrooms, seawater & Green-tea
With Whole leaf Green tea
Earl Grey infused crème brulee, Jasmine tea sugar shard & old English tea cake
With English Breakfast cocktail, orange bitters
This was a light and well-balanced match of dining courses with tea cocktails, perfect for a Spring day. With charming dining company and great anecdotes from Henrietta, on her tea travels and suppliers, the afternoon was wiled away.
My donation towards lunch, was in aid of The Hope Foundation – www.thehopefoundation.org.uk

01.26.13: The CCRI Lady Knights basketball team hosted the Lions of Nassau Community College form Garden City, NY on Saturday. The Lady Knights defeated the Lions 114-50 to improve to a program best 18-2 on the season!
It did not take long for the Lady Knights to prove they were the better team on Saturday as the sprinted out to a 20 point lead which they extended to 30 points 58-28 by halftime. In the second half CCRI kept up the intensity especially on defense and pulled away to won comfortably 114-50.
It was an historic day for the Lady Knights as CCRI Captain Jahira Smith (Brooklyn, NY) set three milestones while helping her Lady Knights defeat Nassau. Smith scored 23 points including a 3-pointer on her last shot to move into the No.7 spot on the CCRI All-time scoring list with 850 career points just ahead of Jerilynn Johnson who had 849 from 1989-1991. But Jahira was not done there as she dished out five assists to give her 278 career assists making her the all-time career assist leader moving her ahead of Nicole Girard who had 274. If that wasn't enough, for good measure she also swiped a CCRI single-game steal record with a ridiculous 13 steals! Smith is the only Lady Knight with over 200 steals with 222 career steals. The next closest on the steals list is Denise Scott with 60 less at 162 career steals. Smith's overall stat line for the game was 23 points, 13 steals, five assists, four rebounds and three blocked shots. Head Coach Kate Lynch commented on her sophomore Captain's feats: "Jahira is a very special athlete and young lady. She is rewriting the record books at CCRI, but that is the last thing on her mind. She is an extremely unselfish player. 'Jah' is the type of player who would rather win ball games and have the team become successful. She is an amazing athlete and I am so proud of her. She has worked tirelessly over the last year and a half both on and off the court. I am truly happy that she is finally getting the recognition that she so well deserves."
Other big games for CCRI included: Lexi Barros (New Bedford, MA) with 21 points, six steals and six assists and Nyjah Porcher (New Britain, CT) with 20 points, six rebounds and six assists. Also playing well was Ahnyyah Jackson (Hackensack, NJ) who added 16 points and six steals, and Treedy Ward (Boynton Beach, FL) added 15 points three steals and three assists. As a team the Lady Knights swiped a season best 32 steals!
Coach Lynch added after the game: "We came ready to play today. Our energy level and effort level was very consistent from everyone. We were very unselfish with the basketball today and when we are as unselfish as we were, we are fun to watch."
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

Two Plead Guilty To Arson That Killed Kansas State Researcher
TOPEKA – Two people have pleaded guilty to setting a fire that killed a woman in an apartment complex in Manhattan, Kan., U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.
Patrick Martin Scahill, 20, Manhattan, Kan., and Virginia Amanda Griese, 19, Manhattan, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count each of arson resulting in death.
In his plea, Scahill admitted he started the Feb. 6, 2013, fire at the Lee Crest Apartments at 820 Sunset Avenue in Manhattan that caused the death of Kansas State researcher Vasanta Pallem. Scahill admitted he started the fire in an effort to create a diversion that would prevent police from finding evidence in his residence of an armed robbery and other crimes.
The sequence of events began in the late evening hours of Feb. 5 when Scahill's associates, Frank Joseph Hanson and Dennis James Denzien, conspired to commit a robbery at Dara's Fast Lane, a convenience store in Manhattan. Early in the morning hours of Feb. 6, Hanson and Denzien robbed Dara's Fast Lane. Denzien was the driver. Hanson entered the store brandishing a .22 caliber pistol owned by Scahill.
At about 6 p.m. that day, Riley County Police were dispatched to a disturbance call and knocked on the door of the residence where Scahill lived. Denzien and Hanson also were at the residence when police arrived. After police noticed a strong odor of marijuana from the residence, they told Scahill and the others they were going to seek a warrant to search the residence. Scahill, Denzien and Hanson left the residence while police were working to obtain a warrant.
Meeting together later, Scahill, Denzien, Hanson and Griese discussed the likelihood that police would find narcotics, a firearm and items associated with the robbery at Dara's Fast Lane once they searched Scahill's residence. They discussed ways to divert the attention of law enforcement officers long enough for Scahill to re-enter the residence and remove the incriminating evidence.
In the end, Griese, a friend named Gavin Hairgrove, and another person, drove to a Walmart where Griese bought a five-gallon gas can. Then they went to a HyVee gas station where Hairgrove worked and Griese pumped 4.7 gallons of gas into the can. She paid for it with her debit card.
Later, Scahill and Griese drove around looking for something to burn. They chose the Lee Crest Apartments, a three-level, 12-unit apartment complex within sight of Scahill's apartment. Scahill entered the building. He emptied the contents of the gas can in the lower level hallway, set the fire and left the building.
As the fire burned, a thick, black smoke rose through the building, forcing tenants out of their apartments through windows and out of balconies. Vasanta Pallem was unable to escape the building. She worked her way from her apartment on the top floor of the building to the first floor where she died near the east entrance of the complex. An autopsy showed she died from breathing fumes during the fire. The carbon monoxide saturation in her system was over 50 percent, more than enough to kill her.
After setting the fire, Scahill and Griese went to Griese's apartment where Scahill cleaned up and discarded clothes soaked in gasoline. Hairgrove assisted Scahill in disposing of his shoes, which reeked of gasoline.
Later, investigators looking into the arson received tips that led them to Scahill.
Sentencing is set for July 15. They face a maximum penalty of life in federal prison.
Other defendants include:
Frank Joseph Hanson, 22, Manhattan, Kan., who has pleaded guilty and is set for sentencing July 8.
Dennis James Denzien, 20, Manhattan, Kan., who is awaiting trial.
Gavin Taylor Hairgrove, 29, Manhattan, Kan., who is awaiting trial.
Grissom commended all the investigators and law enforcement agencies that worked on the case, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Riley County Attorney's Office, the Riley County Police Department, the Manhattan Fire Department, the Kansas State Fire Marshal's Office, the Kansas Bureau of Investigations and the Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office, as well as Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Maag, Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Barry Wilkerson and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Barry Disney, who are prosecuting.
In all cases, defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. The indictments merely contain allegations of criminal conduct.

A winner was selected from 50 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
Integral IT Solutions
Hi, looking to design a site for my business, I would like to approach this a clean simple site that is attractive and easy to add video and Audio content.
I think of my company as new age thinking in IT, using the new technologies that are out there to help businesses save money etc.
Target Audience is small/medium businesses. That budgets may not be too large. as also give the impression that we are professional.
I would believe that you as the designer have some creative ideas for me. The only thing i like on the site is the 3 frames that have animations on the front. But the site needs to have more room on the front page for more content such as audio and or video.
As a requirement i would like the site not to be so static and have some simple animations and nice colors. the original template was done by someone i know but never really finished it off.
I will mostly leave the design ideas to you, but please originality here is key i don't want it to look like a typical IT site. clean, polished and attractive.

Deanna Marsigliese
This Thursday, August 2, in Toronto, from 7-10 p.m. The Labyrinth Bookstore will have its second art show premiere featuring the work of designer Deanna Marsigliese. The store is located at 386 Bloor Street West, 2 blocks west of the Spadina subway station. The Labyrinth has published a book collection of her work called The Art of Deanna Marsigliese. You can read more about her here and get information about ordering the book here.
If you're in the neighborhood before Thursday, there's still time to catch the first show, an exhibit of sketches done on the subway by Bobby Chiu and Kei Acedera. Their work is available at The Labyrinth in their self-published book Subway Sketches.

The year that Deanna graduated from Sheridan, I remember watching all of the student films on industry day and being most impressed with her film. It concerned a magician being upstaged by his rabbit which escalated into quite a feud. Her character designs, animation, and timing of the gags were all operating at a professional level and I know from the audience reaction that it was the main crowd-pleaser that year.
Since then, I've been enjoying the work she has had up on her blog. She's got a great style and her work is highly appealing. I wish Deanna great success with the launch of her book.

It feels like it was made by someone worrying the whole time about what we want to see, not by someone who actually understands Bond films and makes something interesting to himself and thus interesting to us. A few issues I have: * Why does he keep looking into the camera with that fake intense look? * Why do the Shanghainese not act or talk like such? Why is it necessary to make everything like the Western image of how things are, instead of showing how things ARE. It would be a lot more interesting if SH were not just a plastic background but something more real and meaningful to the movie. * Why does he have a gun that only he can fire, doesn't make sense, serves no purpose. * Why is everything so shallow and pointless, there is only one good actor, the bad guy. Everyone else is a stock character. * Why do they feel the need do pointless things like making Q a computer hacker, right so it's "modern", got it, dumb. * It treats the audience like they are idiots, I guess that's what really is so tasteless. Bring back Sean Connery, the new bond has no nuts, no style, no womanizing, it's hollow and tame. I'll give it three stars out of five, it's just so robotic. Thoughts?

Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 6:05 pm Post subject: Saw it last night. t was what I expected. I'd give it 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. In reponse to your questions: 1. So they can show his 'baby blue eyes' 2. The Shanghai scene was the assassination scene. There was NO talking during that scene. Bond jumped on & hung off the bottom of the elevator, then killed the sniper (end of scene) - Basically, the aerial night time shot of Shanghai was the only purpose of that scene, & I wish they could have shot more scenes there, (as I'd like to visit there / possibly move there someday) 3. The MACAU scene may be what you are referring to when you say they don't 'act & talk'' naturally. The gun that only Bond can fire DOES serve a purpose. Bond would be dead during the Macau scene with the Komodo dragon without that gun failing in the hands of the Macau guy. 4.. Bond movies have always been cheesy & the villains have always been the more interesting characters throughout the series. & I love Javier Bardem, but I couldn't help wondering when MI6 started recruiting SPANISH guys for the British secret service ??? 5. Making Q a computer hacker DID make sense - It fit in with the whole "Out with the old, In with the new" theme of the movie. This Bond is defintiely getting up there in age, though. Seeing him failing his physical & mental tests due to being worn out, beaten down, like an old lion fit the plot theme nicely. Although, I agree with you. Sean Connerry was THE best Bond. I just don't see him being able to do the physical stunts necessary for a Bond film... & the womanizing wouldn't be such a factor either (without Viagra) Back to top UnibrowJoined: 20 Aug 2012 Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 10:40 pm Post subject: I like the film. I think your complaints are stupid. Did you want to see Bond fighting an assassin outside some hovels in Shanghai? Also, I assume you're referring to the Macau scene, the club he was in for high rollers. Do you think they're going to have mainland Chinese women in their speaking in stilted English to multimillionaires? The gun did serve a purpose; it saved his life in the Komodo pit. As far as treating the audience like idiots, I honestly don't know what you expected from a James Bond movie. This is the same series where Pierce Brosnan outran a giant "laser" from a satellite while on a snowmobile in Antarctica.

There's a complex villain and "nobody's perfect" plot. Adele does a great job with the theme, BTW. Spoiler It's a transition movie. It was less about Bond and more about the transitions. That's difficult to do, but you can see where the next 007 pic will be a great one with that new cast in place.

LSU: The Tigers put together yet another fantastic weekend, sweeping Kentucky at home with authority. Junior hard-throwing right-handed pitcher Ryan Eades had yet another solid start. For the season, Eades is now 7-0 with a 1.30 ERA in 55 1/3 innings of work. He also has struck out 51 and walked 13.
Vanderbilt: Outside of LSU, there's not a more consistent team in the SEC than the Commodores. They hit the road over the weekend and did a clean sweep of struggling Ole Miss. The 'Dores have plenty of contributors on this club, but keep an eye on sophomore right-handed closer, who quietly is having an exceptional year, carrying an 0.81 ERA in 33 1/3 innings.
Florida State: You really can't say enough about the job coach Mike Martin and his staff is doing this season. The Seminoles continued their winning ways over the weekend with a fantastic road series win over Miami. To no surprise, veteran right-handed pitcher Scott Sitz stepped up once again. He now has a 6-0 record with a 0.57 ERA in 47 innings.
Oregon State: The Beavers took a step back two weekends ago with a tough series loss to San Diego, but bounced right back in Pac-12 play with a road series win over UCLA this past weekend. OSU welcomed back shortstop Tyler Smith, who in addition to being an excellent defender, is hitting .313 with a home run and 13 RBIs.
Mississippi State: The Bulldogs actually put together a very solid week. In addition to beating a very good South Alabama club in midweek action, they took care of business at home against Florida. State continues to get a big-time campaign from outfielder Hunter Renfroe, who's hitting .417 with 10 homers and 38 RBIs.
Arizona State: The Sun Devils have really played a good brand of baseball over the past couple of weeks. They captured two wins over Wichita State in midweek action before taking two of three from Oregon over the weekend. Right-handed pitcher Trevor Williams is back on track with a 2.84 ERA in 57 innings.
North Carolina State: The Wolfpack certainly has played confident since getting shortstop Trea Turner back in the lineup full-time. N.C. State had a huge weekend that included a series sweep over Virginia Tech with Grant Clyde (.260/2/12) and Logan Ratledge (.203/0/8) each having big weekends.
Arizona: Suddenly, the Wildcats are playing a solid brand of baseball. They captured a home series sweep over California this past weekend, and have now won six-straight conference games. The Wildcats, in their last six games, are hitting .352, while the pitching staff has had a 2.67 ERA.
Campbell: The Camels just continue to impressive this season. Greg Goff's club picked up another nice series win over the weekend, sweeping much improved Presbyterian College. Clayton Brown is hitting .452 to lead the offensive charge, while Brent Graham is hitting .394 and Ben McQuown is hitting .362.
Michigan: Erik Bakich and his coaching captured a huge series win over rival Michigan State this past weekend. Keep an eye on talented left-handed pitcher Evan Hill moving forward. Hill is having a fantastic campaign with a 1.74 ERA in 51 2/3 innings of work, with teams hitting just .208 against him.
Kansas State: Oklahoma certainly leads the Big 12 right now, but could the Sooners get some intense competition from … K-State? The Wildcats picked up a big home series sweep over Texas Tech this past weekend. Keep an eye on talented Ross Kivett, who's hitting .388 with 20 RBIs.
Sam Houston State: Sure, the Bearkats got off to a slow start this spring. But they're on fire right now with a 7-2 conference record and 19-12 overall record. SHSU has several talented starting pitchers, including midweek starter Tyler Eppler in addition to weekend starters Cody Dickson (3.06, 50 IP) and Caleb Smith (3.25, 44.1 IP).
Texas: The Longhorns are right back in the situation they were in last season, needing a strong finish to have a chance at the NCAA postseason. The 'Horns dropped a tough home series to Oklahoma with usually outstanding closer Corey Knebel suffering a loss in the series finale. UT is now 3-6 in the Big 12.
Texas A&M: The weekend rotation was and continues to be a big question mark for the Aggies as they head through Southeastern Conference play. The Aggies dropped a tough home series to Auburn over the weekend with the weekend pitching struggling, including freshman Grayson Long getting ousted after just 2 1/3 innings.
Georgia Tech: The Yellow Jackets are without outstanding outfielder Brandon Thomas because of Mononucleosis, and that really hampered their offensive production in a tough road series loss to Duke over the weekend.
Oklahoma State: OSU had a lot of momentum entering its series against Kansas, but took a step back over the weekend with a tough loss to Kansas. OSU ace right-handed pitcher Jason Hursh struggled in the series opener, allowing seven runs (four earned) on 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings.
Cal Poly: The Mustangs had a tough weekend on the road against UC Santa Barbara, and surprisingly, their pitching wasn't all that great at times. For instance, in Game 2 of the series, starting pitcher Matt Imhof, who typically is very good, allowed four runs on eight hits in five innings in a setback.
Houston: The Cougars finally had a weekend to forget, and it'll be interesting to see how they respond from it. UH lost a midweek bout to Sam Houston State before hitting the road and losing two of three to Marshall. UH was in cruise control in the series opener before allowing 15 runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings combined.
Missouri State: Just a week after looking so impressive against Indiana State, the MSU bats kind of took the weekend off in a series loss to Illinois State. Cody Schumacher had a tough start for the Bears last weekend, allowing four runs on seven hits in just 5 1/3 innings.
Dallas Baptist: It's a huge surprise the Patriots are struggling immensely this spring. DBU dropped to 17-14 over the weekend and right-handed pitcher Jake Johnasen had a tough outing against the Aggies, allowing seven runs on five hits in two innings of work.
Santa Clara: The Broncos are having what you'd call a season to forget thus far this spring. SCU has now lost 13-straight contests after losing all three games to BYU over the weekend. For the season, SCU is now 8-21 overall.
Central Florida: Terry Rooney's club has an excellent ace starting pitcher in Ben Lively, but has some work to do moving forward. The Knights have lost five-straight contests, including all three games against Memphis over the weekend. They're now 18-15 overall, 4-5 in C-USA play.

Did you know?
LSU has had quite the amount of success on the baseball diamond over the past 20 or so years, capturing six national titles. But in terms of the best start in school history, that title belongs to this year's Tigers. With the series sweep over Kentucky this past weekend, the Tigers are off to the best start in school history. LSU is an amazing 30-2 overall with an 11-1 SEC record.
Five surprising RPIs
South Alabama (15): The Jaguars have put together a solid campaign so far this season. Interestingly, though, this RPI is a little surprising considering their best series win came against Troy, which has an RPI of 75. The Jaguars are 1-3 vs. RPI Top 50 and 8-9 vs. RPI Top 100.
Mercer (27): The Bears are showing you just how important midweek wins over teams like Georgia Tech can be from an RPI standpoint. MU has an RPI of 27 despite its marquee series win coming against Kennesaw State, which has an RPI of 115. The Bears are 2-2 vs. RPI Top 50, 5-5 vs. RPI Top 100.
Austin Peay (29): Gary McClure is doing another impressive coaching job, and this will be an interesting team to watch down the stretch. The Governors have a marquee series win over Michigan State, which has an RPI of 55. APSU is 0-1 vs. RPI Top 50 and 5-3 vs. RPI Top 100.
Rice (69): There's little doubt the Owls are one of the nation's better clubs, but they're going to need some serious help in the RPI department down the stretch to host an NCAA Regional. The Owls have an RPI of 69 and finish the season with weekend series against UCF (203), Houston (45), UAB (152), Memphis (117) and Marshall (207).
Stanford (82): There's a good chance the Cardinal wouldn't reach the NCAA postseason if the season ended today from an RPI standpoint. The Cardinal has a rough RPI of 82, and much of that comes from losing a home series to Utah. Stanford is 0-0 vs. RPI Top 50 and 8-6 vs. RPI Top 100.
RALEIGH, N.C. -- No matter what he does on the mound, many observers will always look at North Carolina State sophomore left-handed pitcher Carlos Rodon with a fine-toothed comb.
Perhaps that comes with the territory when you factor in the freshman campaign Rodon put together, or the fact he's one of the elite prospects for the 2014 MLB draft, even the early favorite to be the top overall pick.
Fair or not, that's become reality in Carlos Rodon's world.
Rodon has received some mixed reviews so far this spring. Though he has racked up outstanding strikeout totals, there are times when he has deterred from the plan at hand and been a little inconsistent. That would explain why he has a 4.20 earned-run average despite having 83 strikeouts, 23 walks, and with teams only hitting him at a .189 clip.
From the standpoint of N.C. State coach Elliott Avent, there's a good and logical reason why Rodon has been up and down at times.
"Here's what we think. Carlos threw 114 2/3 innings last year, then he went off to play at Team USA. You can't turn down Team USA when you have a chance to play in Cuba, where his family heritage is from," Avent said. "With that said, we had the full intention to shut him down last summer, but he ended up with Team USA.
"Because of his stint with Team USA, we needed to shut him down in the fall. And possibly, if we had to do it again, we wouldn't have done that. We would've gotten him going a little earlier," he continued. "His arm wasn't in as good of shape entering the season. And on top of that, the weather up here has been brutally cold for the most part. Now, it's getting warmer and he's starting to be him again."
Rodon was on display last Friday when the Wolfpack played host to hard-hitting Virginia Tech. Though Rodon finished the game allowing five runs (three earned) on six hits in 5 2/3 innings of work, there's no doubt he showed flashes of greatness with elite stuff.
Rodon was consistently 91-94 with his fastball, but also dipped down to 88-89 with that pitch some innings. The talented left-hander was still touching 94 on my radar gun when he left the game in the sixth inning.
Otherwise, Rodon was consistently 83-85 with a sometimes very sharp slider, while he also threw a few 77-80 changeups.
Rodon, at least not yet, may not be to the level he was as a freshman last season. However, it's also true that his so-called intense struggles are greatly exaggerated.
* Texas Tech junior right-handed pitcher Trey Masek was having a fantastic campaign through his start against Texas in mid-March. Masek has since missed three-straight starts for the Red Raiders, though, TTU said at the time of his removal from the weekend rotation that the injury was simple arm soreness and nothing major. It'll be interesting to see if the talented righty can return to the mound this weekend against Lubbock Christian.
* N.C. State is getting closer and closer to being healthy again. Second baseman Logan Ratledge (hand) is finally back and healthy, while shortstop Trea Turner is back from a broken ankle earlier this season. Turner, coach Elliott Avent says, is still only about 80 percent, but continues to battle through the lingering effects of the injury. Also tough for the Wolfpack is the injury to right-handed pitcher Logan Jernigan. Jernigan broke his hand earlier this season and there's still no concrete timetable on when he'll be able to return to the mound.
* Duke has a bit of good and bad news from an injury standpoint. Infielder Aaron Cohn had a torn PCL before the season began, but could return to action for the Blue Devils in the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, in a hint of bad news, the Blue Devils will be without catcher Mike Rosenfeld the remainder of the season after he suffered a hand injury in the series against Miami.
* Virginia Tech left-handed pitcher Joe Mantiply missed a few starts early in the year, but is back in action. Mantiply started Sunday's performance I saw against N.C. State in less then stellar fashion, but ended the day on a positive note, refining his stuff as the game progressed. Velocity-wise, Mantiply was 86-89 with his fastball, 79-81 with his changeup and 77-82 with his slider. The CH became a good pitch as the game progressed. Mantiply also had a good, well-put together, frame.
* Georgia Tech really misses hard-hitting outfielder Brandon Thomas, who's hitting well over .400 this season. Well, the Yellow Jackets won't know until later this week when they reevaluate the veteran outfielder, but they could be without him for a couple of more weeks because of Mononucleosis. Thomas is hitting an impressive .441 with nine doubles, a triple, a home run and 16 RBIs.
* North Carolina has an incredibly deep and talented pitching staff, so the Tar Heels have been able to plug and chug away from a closer standpoint. Well, as the postseason gets closer, the Tar Heels would like to settle on a full-time closer. Freshman right-handed pitcher Trent Thornton is moving toward nailing down that role. The talented righty was 92-94 with his fastball against Maryland this past weekend, also flashing a 78 changeup. Thornton has had a variety of roles this season, including midweek starter, and has an 0.60 ERA in 45 innings. Teams are hitting just .196 against him.
Last but not least, a look at some intriguing NCAA statistics:
* It's well-documented at this point, but LSU freshman shortstop Alex Bregman is having a sensational season for the Tigers, hitting .441 on the season. But what about some of the other top hitting freshmen sluggers? Here are a few more first-year players to watch on the national stage:
3B Nick Tanielu, Washington State (.402)
OF Skye Bolt, North Carolina (.389)
OF Zach Gibbons, Arizona (.387)
C Patrick Mazeika, Stetson (.383)
OF Tate Matheny, Missouri State (.383)
2B Matt Gonzalez, Georgia Tech (.378)
* In terms of freshmen pitchers, UNC right-handed hurler Trent Thornton leads the first-year players in earned-run average (25 minimum innings pitched). Some others to watch for?
Scott Effross, Indiana (1.02)
Thomas Eshelman, Cal State Fullerton (1.09)
Jimmy Herget, South Florida (1.14)
Andrew Moore, Oregon State (1.28)
Ian Lewandowski, Illinois-Chicago (1.58)
Zac Favre, UCF (1.60)
PJ Conlon, San Diego (1.69)
Jake Lemoine, Houston (1.69)

For one week in early 2012, Facebook toyed with the emotions of nearly 700,000 unsuspecting users, according to research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
To determine whether Facebook could change the emotional state of users, the social network manipulated newsfeeds to show more positive posts to some people and negative posts to others. In instances where users were shown more positive posts, they were more likely to share positive statuses. Conversely, users who were shown more negative posts were more likely to share negative status messages.
While experts debate whether or not the experiment was ethical, most agree that it was legal: Facebook's Terms of Service state that in using the social network, people relinquish their use of their data for "data analysis, testing, [and] research."
Facebook may have a stranglehold on most of your data, but there are settings that prevent the social network from using it in certain ways. Here's a look at the information you can protect, including your search history, location data, and online browsing habits.
[What do Facebook's latest algorithm tweaks mean for you? Read Facebook News Feed: 5 Changes.]
1. Delete your Facebook search dataWhether you search for a hashtag, someone's profile, or a new page to follow, Facebook tracks -- and records -- your every query. While you don't have much control over the other tidbits Facebook collects and stores about you and your habits, you can clear your search history.
To do this, start at your Activity Log. This shows you all your recent Facebook activity, such as photos you commented on, pages you liked, and searches you performed using Graph Search. Click More from the left-side navigation, then click Search. Your entire search history will load, provided you have never deleted it before.
From here, you can remove individual searches by clicking the Block icon and selecting Remove. If you want to clear all of it, click the Clear Searches link at the top. Click Clear Searches in the popup that appears; Facebook says it tracks your searches to "show you more relevant results."
2. Clear your Facebook location historyFacebook launched a new feature in April called Nearby Friends, which tracks, stores, and shares your location with your Facebook friends. If you use this feature or have used it in the past, the social network has a database of every location you've visited -- whether or not you were using the app at the time.
When you turn on Nearby Friends, you also turn on Facebook Location History. Facebook will add your locations to the Location History section of your activity log, but only you will be able to see this. The good news: You can switch it off and delete your location history.

I'm not exactly clear on how I first met Parks and Rec writer and co-producer Aisha Muharrar, but I think it had something to do with Twitter and our mutual love for Molly Ringwald. Turns out we live just a few blocks apart so we can frequently discuss things of great importance in-person, like the best local restaurants that also serve up free wifi, cheap foot massage places, and what is happening between couples on TV shows. I usually also ask 100 questions about Parks and Rec (more specifically Ron Swanson). But today we unplugged a little and took a stroll through Griffith Park, where she told me just how important our parks really are (and that Nick Offerman really does know how to build a canoe by hand).

And I obviously identify with Leslie Knope. Like any reasonable woman, I love waffles and Ben Wyatt.

URBANA, Ill. – While much of the northern half of Illinois received less than normal amounts of rainfall through the middle of June, above normal rainfall amounts throughout Illinois during the second half of the month left root systems standing in saturated soils, in some cases in fields which had already been replanted after earlier floods, said University of Illinois crop sciences professor Emerson Nafziger.
Nafziger said rainfall amounts during the fourth week of June totaled as high as 3 to 6 inches in some areas. "While getting rainfall in June is certainly preferable to getting little or none as happened in Illinois in 2012, standing water and wet soils can badly damage a rapidly growing corn crop," he said. "We saw this in parts of Illinois when heavy rain fell in late June of 2010. This year's crop was planted later and is not nearly as far along as was the crop that year."
Even with these rainfall amounts, the very good crop color present in June means that early nutrient uptake was good, which means that the crop recovered after being in earlier wet soils, Nafziger said. "While we expect the root system to recover after soils dry out, some plants after the latest round of rain may lose some of their green color before roots are fully functional again," he added.
Although many worry that any stress during mid-vegetative growth will lower yield potential, Nafziger explained that there is not much evidence that reduced photosynthetic rates over a few days has much effect on yields, at least if it occurs more than one to two weeks before tasseling.
A head-high corn crop still needs to take up 110 to 120 pounds of nitrogen. "In years when June is wet, a common question is whether or not the crop might run out of nitrogen, leaving the crop short. Some producers have already applied more than normal amounts, thinking that some had been lost under wet conditions in April and May," Nafziger said.
Warm, saturated soils lose nitrogen through the process of denitrification, which results in loss of nitrogen as a gas from the soil. "We do not think that such losses have been very large in most fields, given the temperatures and the fact that most flooding was temporary," Nafziger said. "Better-drained soils would suffer less denitrification, but in those soils percolating water can move some of the nitrogen deeper, perhaps below the root system or into tiles lines."
By the time corn accumulates 1,000 growing degree days (GDDs), reaching about stage V13 (13 visible leaf collars), it has accumulated about 20 percent of its dry weight and about 40 percent of its season-long nitrogen accumulation. During this period the crop will take up 3 to 3.5 pounds of nitrogen per acre per day. By the time of pollination, it will have taken up about 60 percent of its nitrogen and produced about 40 percent of its dry weight.
While the need for 20 or more pounds of nitrogen per week could raise the possibility of a shortage, the production of plant-available nitrogen from soil organic matter through the process of mineralization is also at its maximum rate in mid-season, Nafziger explained. "In a productive soil with a healthy crop, mineralization at mid-season likely provides at least half the nitrogen needed by the crop on a daily basis. This means that normal amounts of fertilizer nitrogen, even if there has been some loss, should still be adequate to supply the crop," he said.
"Though we could measure soil nitrogen present or apply urea by air on the wetter fields or parts of fields where the crop shows deficiency, it would seem prudent to wait to see if the crop recovers its green color before going to this expense. The loss of crop color in wet soils is mostly due to loss of root function and less nutrient uptake, and roots will need to recover before the canopy does. Even without adding more nitrogen, odds are good that the crop will recover and thrive in the coming weeks, providing the weather remains favorable," Nafziger said.

Chris Brown won't be going to jail.
A plea deal was reached in the felony assault case that involved his ex, pop princess Rihanna. The deal includes five years of supervised probation, six months of community labor, and an order that Brown stay away from his onetime girlfriend.
Rihanna and her ex-beau both appeared Monday at the scheduled preliminary hearing. The songstress had been expected to stick to the vivid ccount she gave in a police report, according to People.com. Instead, Brown's plea deal was reached before the hearing.
In February, the R&B power couple made headlines when Brown allegedly beat his then-girlfriend after they argued over a text message from another woman. At the time, the two were en route to a pre-Grammy Awards party.
Today, Rihanna's attorney said the singer did not want Brown to be barred from having contact with her, the LA Times reported.
"I want Mr. Brown to be treated the same as any other defendant who would come into this court," L.A. Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg said. "That means something like Caltrans [trash disposal for the state's Department of Transportation] or graffiti removal, and a two-week domestic violence program."
"I think it is commendable you took responsibility for your conduct," Schnegg told Brown.
After Brown and his entourage left the courtroom, Rihanna entered through a back door. The songstress was informed of the stay-away order by the judge. "Thank you," she told the judge. She was then led out through the same back door.
Rihanna had not been seeking a stay-away order, but the judge imposed one anyway. The order requires that Brown and Rihanna stay at least 50 yards from each, except at industry events when the distance is reduced to 10 yards.
The judge also told Rihanna it's not a one-way order and she will be in violation if she gets closer to Brown than the order allows.
Though the judge expressed some concerns because Brown is not a California resident, it appears Brown will be allowed to do his community service in his home state of Virginia.
Since their spat, the couple's status has been unclear, with some reports suggesting the two were together.
