Assume you are a 50 year old, 5 foot 2 inch, 150 pound woman (using those numbers because the math is easier). To estimate your basal metabolic rate (BMR) the formula is 655 + (4.35 times weight in pounds) + (4.7 times height in inches) – (4.7 times age in years). This equates to 655 + (4.35 x 150) + (4.7 x 62) - (4.7 x 50). When you run the numbers you get a BMR estimate of 1,364 calories. Don't gasp… I hear you. It isn't as bad as it sounds you get to add the calories that you burn with exercise to your estimated BMR to calculate your allowable calories for the day. I hope this helps you to see why exercise makes a difference both when you are trying to lose weight and when you are working to maintain your weight.
- Saturday was a pretty good day at our house. Let's hope that fuzzy little ground hog is correct and winter will be over in 6 weeks. Wouldn't that be lovely? Can you say sailboat time? *woot woot*
- As is typical for this time of year it was absolute frosty outside today. Our morning started with a "balmy" 21 degrees. *ugh* Fortunately I didn't freeze to death this morning when I went out. ;-)
- Since Dan needed to go downtown to work today I had some extra time in the kitchen today and used it to my advantage. I pressure cooked some dried white soy beans for veggie burgers, made brown rice and pot of minestrone soup. Tomorrow all I have to do is put the soy and rice veggie burgers together and bake them and they will go into the freezer for quick meals. BTW the burger recipe will be coming soon since I perfected it last weekend. As you know, I love having a well stocked pantry, refrigerator and freezer. Let's not forget that having a good supply of quick healthy meals is one of the secrets to maintaining both this lifestyle and your health.
- I also found time to get some pizza almonds in the dehydrator for a friend. It makes me so happy to share my healthy food with my friends who are trying to eat better. I still believe that the best way any of us can make an impact on the world is by being a good example for those around us. None of us can reach everyone, but we can make a difference for those we know.
- I ordered a really cute summer dress from Zulily today. Have you noticed that my Zulily time out seems to have expired again? Yeah, Dan noticed that too though he doesn't really care. I may have to stay off the site for a little while again. Since I get such great deals I don't feel so bad about shopping there. That darned site is addictive.
- Its official I don't have a single pair of jeans that fit me right any longer. Since they are all too big I am not complaining about this fact. Sometime next week I need to get out and buy myself some jeans. *woot woot* Don't you just love it when your hard work pays off? I know that things like this just make my day.

Film and liquid laminators enhance the quality, appearance, and longevity of screen- and digitally printed graphic materials.
By Screen Printing's Solution Sourcebook
Most film laminators (Figure 1) are so similar in purpose that choosing from the many options and models can be tough. Your best bet is to start by considering the laminator size. In general, it's best to buy the widest laminator you can afford. A wide laminator will allow you to run narrower products side by side, improve throughput, prevent film waste, and grow into larger, more demanding applications. If space is a concern, some wide-format models feature conservative footprints and are ideal for tight production areas. Here are some additional considerations:
Cold vs. thermal Choosing between thermal and cold laminating units is an important decision. A thermal unit can process cold laminates (those that adhere to the graphic substrate with a pressure-sensitive adhesive) and thermal laminates (those that feature a heat-activated adhesive), while a cold unit can only apply pressure-sensitive laminating materials.
Construction Open architecture is a must, especially when it comes to larger laminators used in high-volume production environments. Operators need to be able to replace web rolls of laminating film easily and access internal mechanisms, circuitry, and other parts.
Rollers Rollers are responsible for bringing the graphic material and laminate into contact with one another, so selecting the most effective type is essential for consistent, high-quality results. Wide-format laminators, because of their size, are sometimes prone to problems in applying adequate pressure across the entire width of the products that pass through them. Here, straight rollers facilitate uniform contact, even at very light nip pressures, while crowned roller make contact in the center of the rolls before making contact across the roll face.
Heat sources and cooling Most thermal laminators rely on a suspended heat source that runs through the nip rollers. The heater's duty cycle involves bringing itself up to operating temperatures, heating the surrounding ambient air, and maintaining those temperatures. Contact heat sources actually touch the inside surface of the roller assemblies and are, therefore, designed to provide faster thermal-recovery rates and consistent temperature across the roll face.

By Erica Molfetto
The University Program Council and the Black Student Cultural Programming Board will host an event titled, "#TBTwithUPC," at 4 p.m. at South Beach on the Athens Campus.
The event will feature a concert from '90s pop artist Aaron Carter and guest performances by local DJ's A-Roc and B-Funk. The Aaron Carter concert will begin at 6 p.m.
As a prelude to the long awaited throwback concert, South Beach will be filled with interactive games, inflatables, and airbrush snapback stations for students who seek the true "throwback" experience.
The event will also house a roller-skating rink, as well as an Instagram photo booth for students who are looking to document their nostalgia with hashtags and filters.
"We planned this event as a kind of 'hoorah' for the last week of classes," says Samantha Caulfield, president of UPC. "It's so much more than just a concert. It's gonna blow everybody's mind."
Although UPC is known for planning large-scale events for students throughout the year, this is the first-ever "Throwback Thursday" concert.
Naturally, inviting Aaron Carter to campus ignited the excitement of the UPC as girls that are our age had posters of him on their walls growing up," states Caulfield. UPC is very excited to have him as a guest on campus.
"Originally, we were going to have this event be a part of our annual '90s night or Space Jam, both of which we hold annually during Senior week," Caulfield reports, "but then when we heard Aaron was interested in coming to Athens we thought to have this event separately."
As the semester draws quickly to a close, the University Program Council and the Black Student Cultural Programming Board have planned the event as a way to celebrate the hard work of students across campus this year.
For more information about the event and how to get involved with UPC, visit: http://ohioupc.com/ or follow UPC on Twitter at: @OhioUPC.

Comedian, actor and author Bill Cosby portrayed fictional father Dr. Heathcliff "Cliff" Huxtable in probably his most famous role on "The Cosby Show" from 1984 to 1992. Appropriately enough, in advance of his scheduled Thursday show at the San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino near Highland, the 76-year-old former Jell-O pudding pitchman slipped back into the role and shared some fatherly advice with the Los Angeles News Group.
Cosby said there really is no need for profanity or sex in his stand-up act, and added that he came from a time when it wasn't allowed in clubs in the 1960s:
"My reasoning has always been that I was really ruled into it," Cosby, 76, said. "When I entered the business in 1962, it was known in clubs: Listen, there's no profanity. You don't go below the belt, innuendo was not necessary and they would hit you hard in print (reviews) for that."
Cosby said he still has to deal with hecklers as a comic and talked about how he deals with it:
"If you don't understand it, don't get angry, ask what they said. 'Like 'excuse me, what did you say?' Then you're clean on what they said. ... Then your next job as a comedian is that you go in another direction other than yelling at or cursing at the person. Take it to the audience. Like, 'Listen, I'm working here, if you don't mind, let me continue on.' Right now it's one person's opinion, but I got 300 other people that seem to be OK. If you use that kind of suggestion, then you don't have to get into cursing somebody out."
Cosby believes the public school education system is broken, but fixable if parents get involved:
"You can't tell me education is this difficult to fix when there are so many paradigms of success. You don't have to have a ton of money. You have to have a willingness to succeed with what you have. So many people give parents a reason not to show up to meet with the teacher and they've got to do just the opposite."
While Cosby won't include it during his set, he did discuss the recent controversy surrounding the Los Angeles Clippers and its owner Donald Sterling, who has been deemed a racist after a recording of the NBA mogul talking to his girlfriend was leaked to the media:
"Everybody except Winston Churchill has weighed in on it. ... Who turned this stuff over? Who was sleeping with him as he was talking like this? ... There are many contradictions made. But a racist is a racist. Period. And the media is telling me over the television and the radio that they knew about this a long time ago. OK, and they didn't think enough to blow it up? And they're turning around and blaming the NBA for not blowing him up? Time out. So if this man is doing what he's doing with human beings of color and he wasn't a nice person, why didn't the media jump earlier?"
Cosby also said he won't perform stand-up comedy album material from the 1960s onstage:
"Don't ask me to go into anything from 'Why is There Air?' or any albums that happen to be 45-years-old. I am very happy to announce I'm very prolific and far from finished."

Well, before those of you that are against this start hollarin' and rasin' Cane, just look here, at this USA Today article.
I'm not against it. All it can do is help others.
indeed. there's nothing bad about stem cell research whatsoever.
Stem cell research is a marvelous thing. It's going to cure a lot of things someday. I know it.
funny enough, stem cell research was brought up in the new episode of futurama tonight, "rebirth". even more ironic, it dealt with adult stem cell research (see karson's link).
Well, I didn't know how folks would react to Stem Cell research; personally I think that it is an awesome thing.
Karson, I know what you mean about not knowing how people would react. That's why I normally don't like to get involved with controversy. I've been doing it a lot in the last bit though.
I like to stir things up as they say, I do so love a good debate
As for me I am terrible at arguing my point and I often lose track of where I am and where I was heading. lol And sometimes it's already been said. If I see over a hundred responses to something I don't even bother because I can have nothing to add. And in a few weeks the issue might come up again and I'd have to resay everything I said before and what's the point?
Raise your post count and argue over stuff we can't change....whats not to like?
I love to argue, its fun. I think its because I love to talk.
<----See post count
You get to share opinions with the other person in a heated conversation. I have always had controversial opinions and beliefs.
Example: I happen to be a supporter of communism. I have researched communism extensively. I believe that if led by the right person, communism would achieve its true goal: no government. Whats the difference between a bunch of corrupt senators and 1 corrupt dictator.
I love to argue over things that involve thought and research to truly understand it.
lol, that is a good way to use it, for post countage. I hadn't noticed before but you're close to catching up to me!
And one day I will surpass you...

BANNER ELK, N.C. - Noah Lascell scored the game-winning goal in the 88th minute as the fifth seeded Coker College Cobras upset the number one seeded Lees-McRae College Bobcats 1-0 Friday night at Tate Field in the Semifinal Round of the Conference Carolinas Men's Soccer Tournament.

Ed's Vegan Month Week 4: The Home Stretch
As I write this I only have a day and a half left in my vegan month. I could say who's counting, but I have to admit that I am. Every day that has gone by this week I have felt a little like a prisoner counting off his sentence by making an X on the wall— a vegan X, but an X all the same. But all the X markings don't negate the pleasures and satisfactions I have enjoyed on my vegan adventure this week.
Last Saturday, we were invited to a dinner party given by a novelist friend who happens to be a really good cook. I debated all week about whether I should give her a head's up about my vegan regimen. Jamie made a suggestion for how to handle it: eat something before you get there in case there's no vegan food available, but don't put the hostess in a position where she has to make something special just for me.
So I had some fine vegan mushroom-and-other-vegan-stuff-filled dumplings at the all-vegan Peacefood Cafe and a slice of a shockingly good peanut butter cheesecake made with tofu a couple of hours before we arrived at the dinner party. The host ended up serving a vegan hors d'oeuvres before we sat down, leftover baked squash that was delicious while everyone else ate shrimp with avocado, and some chickpeas and rice for the main course. For dessert, most people ate macaroons and fruit squares, but I got fresh pineapple. Another dinner party vegan disaster averted! I'm sure that combined with the dumplings and cheesecake, I ate too much food altogether, but I still didn't have that uncomfortably full feeling I usually have after eating lots of meat and pasta at a restaurant.
Lunch has been a lot of vegetarian dumplings, mushroom spring rolls, sautéed pea shoots, eggplant in garlic sauce, and scallion pancakes from various restaurants near the office, so that hasn't been a hardship at all. And I usually bring home the leftovers from these meals to eat for dinner, so they do double duty.
Last night I went to Balaboosta with one of our investors. He had the short ribs and this delicious version of a chicken schwarma sandwich that chef-owner Einat Admony makes as an appetizer at dinner. I did look at those two items longingly, but there's so much great vegan food to be had at Balaboosta that I was thrilled with my dinner: hummus with whole chickpeas served with a mortar and pestle, delicious hot pita breads topped by za'atar, lentil pakoras, fried cauliflower (even without the yogurt, fantastic), a Yemeni pizza sans feta, and an eggplant bruschetta I took one bite of. I also took home leftovers for tonight's dinner and I walked out of the restaurant completely full and happy.
So how do I resolve the marking off the calendar bit with the sheer enjoyment I've derived from eating vegan meals like that? That's for next week's column to explore. Stay tuned.

Today, we are happy to announce that Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, the latest chapter in the famous action series, is coming to PlayStation 3, packed with new features, brutally tough challenges, additional playable characters and bonus content!
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge features additional playable characters, a new gameplay mode, a redesigned battle system with enhanced enemy AI, a robust Ninja Skills upgrade system, expanded online features including bonus content, and a host of other features.
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge was designed from the ground up to satisfy core action fans with a redesigned battle system, improved enemy AI, the removal of interactive QTE scenes, and the return of dismemberment. Even with severed arms or legs, enemies will fight on and players will find they have to change attacks on the fly to win brutally tough battles – the challenge level leaves little room for error.
The Ninja Skills systems lets players use Karma earned in combat to freely purchase weapon and Ninpo upgrades, feats, and costumes. Adding to the variety of gameplay, Kasumi, Ayane, and Momiji all join Hayabusa as playable characters. Ayane will get her own story mode while all three female characters can be played in the new Chapter Challenge mode and Ninja Trials co-op play with multiple costume options.
Chapter Challenge mode is available with 10 new chapters including all-new Ayane stages. In this mode, players will compete for the highest score possible in each chapter of the story. Six brutal weapons are available throughout the game, including the new Jinran-Maru & Blade of the Archfiend dual swords, Lunar Staff, and Kusari-gama. Additionally, Inferno, Wind Blades, and Piercing Void have been added as deadly new Ninpo.
In the new Tests of Valor challenge, players who find Crystal Skulls hidden in each level will be transported to face off in skill-testing battles with familiar bosses from the NINJA GAIDEN series.
The online features in Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge have been greatly expanded, with all the previously paid DLC from Ninja Gaiden 3 available as a bonus. The Ninja Skills upgrade system works online to let players use Karma to purchase 64 customizable features for the Unknown Ninja used in multiplayer Clan Battles.
Supporting up to eight players, five brand new Clan Battle stages have been added. Players can use all of Hayabusa's weapons and Ninpo in Clan Battles, giving them access to their favorite methods of attack. The number of missions in Ninja Trials has been tripled to a total of 100, and all four playable characters – Hayabusa, Ayane, Momiji, and Kasumi – can be used in this co-op mode.
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge is scheduled to launch both at retail and via digital download on 5th April 2013. Stay tuned as we have more information coming soon!

S1 E16 End of the Beginning
Agents Garrett and Triplett are back. These two were first seen in T.A.H.I.T.I. Currently, they are setting themselves up in a safe house that doesn't live up to its name once Mike Peterson bursts through the door. The intruder wears body armor that deflects any and all counterattacks dished out by the agents. This includes an ice bullet to the head. The bionic leg Mike now wears as part of the Deathlok project allows him to launch skyward. He crashes through the roof of the safe house to make his escape.
Agents Victoria Hand, Jasper Sitwell and Felix Blake are among the high-ranking visitors who board the bus to meet with Coulson and Garrett. The topic of conversation is the Clairvoyant. His super soldier bodyguard, Mike/Deathlok, likely came after them because they are getting close. Coulson has someone on his team who can help narrow down a list of potential suspects. She'll need to be granted as full access to all information. In other words, she'll need clearance. That's why Coulson welcomes Skye as a full-fledged agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Clairvoyant provides Deathlok with a rocket launching arm and the declaration that it's time the two of them met. Skye develops a game plan to keep the Clairvoyant from knowing that they are coming. Agent Hand will not be involved in the hunt. Neither will Agent Sitwell, as he's been called away to a situation at sea. Ward and Triplett are off to the U.K. as part of the manhunt. Coulson and Garrett are going back to school to track down a coed at Ball State. May and Blake are in Georgia looking for their target, the catatonic Thomas Nash. Instead, they find Deathlok.
Blake's attempt to talk to Deathlok as if he's Mike Peterson fails. He's hurt bad. Deathlok uses his arm to fire a rocket at May. It's a near miss. Blake is in critical condition by the time help arrives. Thomas Nash is now their prime suspect. One of the bullets Blake fired was a tag round Fitz created. The team tracks Deathlok to an abandoned race track. A gun/rocket fight ensues. Coulson and Garrett chase Deathlok into the basement. Someone else is down there. It's a quadriplegic man who talks via a computer voice. It's Thomas Nash. All indications are that he's the Clairvoyant.
Nash assures Coulson that he will see him even after he's locked up. He says Skye has something they want. She'll die giving it to them. Nash continues to spew out threats when… BANG! A shot rings out in the underground lair. Nash has been shot. The person who pulled the trigger: Agent Grant Ward. Nash is dead. Agent Ward's weapon is confiscated. He's to face a S.H.I.E.L.D. review board. He did all this to make sure Skye would be safe. Not even the Clairvoyant could have seen any of this coming.
While doing some snooping, Fitz loses a phone transmission with Simmons. Just before they were cut off, she said agents are storming the situation room at the Hub. Coulson worries Ward killed the wrong man. What if Nash was just a prop? Skye believes the classified S.H.I.E.L.D. files may be how the Clairvoyant knows so much about them. Their foe doesn't have abilities. He has security clearance. He's an agent. Or perhaps "he" is a "she." Fitz wonders why Agent May would have an unauthorized encrypted hardline dedicated to one receiver. Skye orders him to cut the line. May, with her gun drawn, makes her way through the bus.
BANG! BANG! May fires two shots in Fitz's direction. The bulletproof glass of his lab protects him from getting hit. Coulson and Skye each point a gun at May, who claims her bullets were just icers. She vows it's not what they think. What they think is that she's a traitor. May is thoroughly confused. She has no idea what's happening when someone takes control of the bus. Back at the Hub, Agent Victoria Hand gives an order. She says, "When that plane touches down, take out everyone onboard. Except Agent Coulson. He's mine."

Update: I was able to find this at the Kinokuniya at the Beaverton, OR Uwajimaya after a little help from the clerk. I love this comic. Thank you so much for posting about this. $7 is a great deal for the quality of this comic. The art is great and I laughed out loud several times and chuckled quietly to myself many more.

The top choice from the L.A. Auto Show for the editors at Autoblog is (drum roll, please) the Porsche Cayman.
They go so far as to say it's THE Porsche to buy — and not the 911.
Crazy, huh?
But take a look (at the specs and features). All around, an amazing vehicle.
Keep in mind, the editors did take some time to describe how the L.A. Auto Show often "gets shafted on ultra-hot reveals simply because it falls directly between a major European auto show (either Paris or Frankfurt, depending on the year)" and the Detroit Auto Show.
Maybe not the same could be said for the other choices, but hey, it's all about the criteria. Check out the full list here — rounding out the other choices in the "Top Five L.A. Auto Show Debuts" were:
No. 2: 2014 Jaguar XFR-S
No. 3: 2014 Ford Fiesta ST
No. 4: 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series
No. 5: 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 10th Anniversary Edition

In a previous post, I described a simple web form to query and visualize the solubility data being generated as part of the ONS Challenge. The previous approach required me to manually download the data and load it into a Postgres database. While trivial from a coding point of view, it's a pain since I have to keep my local DB in sync with the Google Docs spreadsheet.
However, Google comes to the rescue with their Query API, which allows us to view the spreadsheet as a table which can be queried using an SQL like language. As a result, I can ditch the whole local database, and simply have an HTML page constructed using Javascript, which performs queries directly on the solubility spreadsheet.
This is very nice since I now no longer have to maintain a local DB and ensure that it's in sync with Jean-Claudes results. Of course, there are some drawbacks to this method. First, the query page will assume that the data in the spreadsheet is clean. So if there are two entries called "Ethanol" and "ethanol", they will be considered seperate solvents. Secondly, this approach cannot be used to include cheminformatics in the queries, since Google doesn't support that functionality. Finally, it's not going to be very good for large spreadsheets.
However, this is a very nice API, that allows one to elegantly integrate web applications with live data. I heart Google!

Cocaine Found in Whitney Houston's Hotel Room
Another day, another new development in the death of Whitney Houston. After reports that Raffles van Exel removed the cocaine from her hotel room after her death emerged, TMZ is now claiming that cocaine actually was, in fact, found in Houston's room.
Official documents reported that "white, powdery remnants" were found in Houston's room, and that tests later proved the substance to be cocaine. Furthermore, detectives are not investigating who may have removed cocaine from Houston's room because the drug was found and is currently in possession of the authorities.
Earlier this week, reports surfaced that authorities wanted to investigate van Exel about the removal of the drug from Houston's hotel room following his own admission of cleaning the scene. "The cops want to know who provided Whitney with the cocaine, but if someone tampered with the death scene, well, that could be against the law in California. Investigators have tried to make contact with Van Exel, but have been unable to do so. Since Van Exel is from Denmark, investigators assume that he may no longer be in the United States, and they very much want to talk to him."
Houston's official cause of death was listed as drowning, but cocaine was found in her system at the time of her passing. She was 48.

The soundtrack to Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of my all time favourite soundtracks, and the man who composed them, Shiro Sagisu, is one of my all time favourite composers. Because of that, I'd like to to find interviews with him or his comments on music he's worked on, but I tend to come up unlucky. Either I can't find something, or I can but it's in Japanese. So, I thought I'd try and ask for your help in translating one of those comments. The Evangelion Wiki (not the Evageeks one) contains scans for the S2 Works album, which contains every music track composed/arranged by Sagisu for the original TV series and films.
Those scans are of the booklet included with the album. As far as I know, the only thing to be translated from that booklet are the song titles and the music menu (as seen in this almost-decades old overview of the album on this very website: http://www.evageeks.org/s2/reichu_s2works.html). There are other pages, which feature English and Japanese lyrics for the EoE vocal songs (well, Komm Susser Tod, Everything You Ever Dreamed and Thanatos), a list of the recording sessions along with what songs were recorded in each session and when they happened, and a few pages full of writing.
It's the latter I'm primarily interested in, so if anyone who reads Japanese can look over these and give them a translation, that would be very much appreciated. (You can zoom into the images at very high quality, so you should be able to clearly discern the text.)
Pages 18/19
Pages 20/21
Page 22
If someone decides to do this, thank you so much. Have a great day!
Translating the S2 Works Booklet (or some of it)
This is a forum for casual discussion of Evangelion. Topics like "Asuka is hot!" or "Which Eva kicks the most ass?" belong here.

How to choose the right kitchen stool
Kitchens are the most expensive space to fit out in either a new or renovated home and when it finally comes down to furnishing them it's critical to research and choose a kitchen stool just as carefully as the kitchen oven, according to Colleen Johnston, owner of Satara Australia.
"Like the selection process for new kitchen appliances, the kitchen stool should be evaluated in terms of design, functionality, pricing and importantly blend in with the new kitchen's aesthetic.
"It's highly likely to be one if the hardest working pieces of furniture from breakfast through to dinner, so functionality is super important," Colleen said.
"Ask yourself is it easy to wipe down, can crumbs be easily cleaned out, is it sturdy enough to support fidgety kids?
"Apart from everyday breakfast, lunch and dinner occasions is it comfy enough for kids to do home work on or Mums and Dads to enjoy a Friday night drink or even a family Sunday brunch at home. Hands down the kitchen stool is one of the hardest working pieces of furniture in the house.
And does it have to 'match' the kitchen chairs? Absolutely not Colleen said.
"In fact clever designers tend not to match these two pieces of furniture. Rather if they share one common element that is enough to tie them together such as a similar shape or colored leg or seat design or material. Opting for a non 'matchy matchy' pairing contributes to an overall point of interest."

MOST OF the headlines from Afghanistan ahead of its presidential election Saturday have reported Taliban terrorist attacks, so it's worth underlining a few bits of less spectacular but probably more important news. Long lines have stretched from election centers as Afghans have registered to vote. Tens of thousands have gathered at the campaign rallies of the leading candidates. Lively debates have been broadcast on television, and women are playing more prominent roles than ever.
In short, notwithstanding the Taliban offensive, there's reason for hope that Afghanistan will have the election it needs: one that attracts widespread participation and produces an accepted winner to whom incumbent Hamid Karzai can peacefully hand over power. Afghan and international observers say voting in this election is likely to take place in areas that were virtually excluded from the 2009 election, such as the region around Kandahar, and that turnout will probably be considerably higher.
The field of candidates, too, is promising. Of the 11 presidential contenders, the three seeming front-runners are moderate, experienced in government and pro-Western. All say they would quickly sign an agreement with the United States allowing U.S. trainers and counterterrorism forces to remain in the country after this year, the key to maintaining domestic and international confidence in the state constructed over the past dozen years. Mr. Karzai's refusal to sign the deal and his poisoned relations with the Obama administration mean that the eventual winner of the election — which may require a runoff — will offer a welcome opportunity for a fresh start in U.S.-Afghan relations.
There are, of course, many uncertainties. Some worry that Mr. Karzai and his cronies may try to steal the election for his former foreign minister, Zalmay Rassoul , who appears to be his favorite. Whatever the outcome, there probably will be claims of fraud that a reduced contingent of international observers and weakened electoral complaints commission could have difficulty judging. The new president will have to negotiate the future role of Mr. Karzai, who is building a residence on the presidential palace grounds and will seek to maintain his influence. The Taliban and its backers in Pakistan will surely challenge the new president — especially if it is Abdullah Abdullah, who lost to Mr. Karzai in 2009 and is perceived to represent the non-Pashtun population .
Completion of the vote ought to stimulate swift movement by the Obama administration, which has appeared virtually inert on Afghanistan in recent months. Faced with Mr. Karzai's recalcitrance, President Obama has declined to commit to a U.S. military mission after this year, much less its dimensions, and the White House has continued to hint at a "zero option." That has greatly increased uncertainty among Afghans, some of whom are hedging against a state collapse or Taliban resurgence. Mr. Obama should welcome any election that produces a winner accepted by the majority of Afghans, and he should make clear that the United States will support a new government by providing the Afghan army with the training and other assistance it will need.

EDEN, N.C. — Pete Harrison dipped his kayak paddle into a gray stain on the bank of the murky Dan River. He pulled out a sticky gob 4 inches thick.
"That's pure coal ash," he said.
Harrison, a lawyer with the Waterkeeper Alliance, was kayaking the river Thursday to take water samples, four days after a massive plume of coal ash laced with toxic chemicals spilled into the river from a storage basin at a retired coal-fired power plant operated by
Coal ash spill: An article in Section A on Feb. 9 about a coal ash spill in the Dan River in North Carolina said Pete Harrison is a lawyer with Riverkeeper Alliance. The name of the group is Waterkeeper Alliance. —
Environmentalists and the nation's largest electric utility seem to describe two different rivers in the wake of the third-largest coal ash spill in U.S. history. The Dan River is either recovering just fine or it has been poisoned by pollution from toxic heavy metals that will last for years.
On Thursday, Duke public relations officers in safety helmets and bright yellow vests showed reporters the company's attempts to plug a ruptured storm water pipe that sent up to 82 tons of toxic coal ash spewing into the river. In calm, soothing tones, they said company tests showed only traces of heavy metals.
From the moment Duke issued its first press release — 26 hours after the spill was discovered at the storage basin Feb. 2 — the utility has downplayed any danger to the public or wildlife. On Friday, a Duke statement was headlined: "Water quality continues to improve."
Environmental groups say otherwise. A map on the Riverkeeper website uses a skull and crossbones to depict coal ash flows on the Dan, inundated by 27 million gallons of contaminated basin water in addition to the ash itself. Riverkeeper says its tests found levels of arsenic, lead, chromium and other heavy metals far exceeding safety standards.
Pointing to patches of coal ash coating the riverbank, Harrison said the Dan River plant had been leaking heavy metals for years, contaminating groundwater and the river. "That's just out-in-the-open illegality," he said.
After environmental groups threatened to sue Duke for leaking coal ash from basins last summer, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources sued the utility for illegal discharges of coal ash, a byproduct of burning coal for electricity, from 14 plants in the state, including the Dan River facility.
Duke Energy's state president for North Carolina, Paul Newton, apologized for the spill. "We will do the right thing for the river and surrounding communities," he said Friday. "We are accountable."
Environmental groups have accused state regulators of working too closely with Duke. Frank Holleman, senior attorney at the Southern Environmental Law Center, said of state regulators: "They're part of the Duke team when they're supposed to be enforcing the law."
Jamie Kritzer, a spokesman for the state environmental agency, said, "We've been enforcing regulations in state law regarding coal ash since those laws were in place," including during the Dan River spill.
Tom Reeder, director of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources, said he was concerned about the river's long-term health. Heavy metals settle and concentrate in sediment on river bottoms.
Coal ash sediment can erupt in hot summer months, sending a plume of toxic metals back into surface water, Holleman said. Lisa Evans, an attorney with the environmental group Earthjustice, compared it to a volcanic eruption in the water.
The state agency began sampling sediment Friday, a day after the EPA began its own sediment sampling.
Earlier, state water tests revealed levels of arsenic, copper, iron and aluminum above state standards for surface water quality. Officials said levels were improving with subsequent test results. Even so, Reeder said, "The Dan River does not have a clean bill of health.''
The Waterkeeper samples were taken a few yards from the break in the water pipe, where coal ash density is greatest. The Duke and state samples were taken two miles downriver.
"They tested in places where they knew they wouldn't find high levels of heavy metals," Holleman said. Kritzer said the state tested downstream because that's where the effects of the spill are felt.
The EPA has come under fire from environmentalists for dragging its feet on issuing regulations governing storage of coal ash. Pressure mounted on the EPA after a 2008 coal ash spill in Tennessee unleashed a billion gallons of ash slurry, destroying homes and polluting waterways. The EPA warned in 2012 of 45 coal ash storage sites nationally with a "high hazard potential" of dangerous spills.
The agency proposed rules governing disposal and handling of coal ash in 2010 and was sued by environmental groups two years later. Last month, a consent decree required the EPA to finalize the rules by December.
Holleman said the new rules won't apply to the Dan River coal ash basin or any existing coal ash storage ponds because they cover only new sites. "It's a ticking time bomb," he said of heavy metals seeping into groundwater and rivers.
Before the spill, Duke was exploring ways to more safely secure coal ash basins at the Dan River plant and six other retired Duke coal-fired plants in North Carolina, said Duke spokeswoman Erin Culbert. At the company's seven coal-fired plants still operating, Duke is moving the bulk of ash from basins to more secure lined landfills, Culbert said.
For North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, the spill has presented a delicate political challenge. McCrory, a Republican, worked for Duke Energy for 28 years. He helped lead a Republican takeover of state government that advocates repealing or softening environmental regulations and cutting taxes for business and industry.
McCrory made no public statements on the spill until Thursday, when he showed up at the Dan River plant. Citing Duke and state water test results, the governor said authorities were "pretty confident the water is very safe."
He added: "There should be no expense spared by Duke Energy to clean this up and take all action necessary to make sure it doesn't happen again."
Asked whether Duke faced fines or other sanctions, the governor sidestepped the issue, saying it was too early to make that decision.
Opinion is also divided over whether Dan River water is safe downriver in Virginia. In Danville, Va., the downstream city closest to the spill, officials say normal filtering of river water had rendered drinking water safe. But Virginia Beach stopped drawing water from Lake Gaston, fed by the Dan River. Virginia Beach is more than 200 miles from the spill.
Late Friday, Duke announced that workers had begun recirculating ash and water from the ruptured pipe to try to divert it back into the basin and away from the river.
A mile or so downstream, Harrison had just pulled his kayak out of the water at dusk. Even with the leak stopped or slowed, he said, damage has been done.
"We still need to know what the sediment load is, what happened to the coal ash plume and so on," Harrison said. "There's a lot we still don't know."

Losing weight, losing out
Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson doing not much of anything yesterday in LA. And they weren't screaming at each other on the street either. This apparently has become a frequent occurrence. Lilo finds some drama to get dramatic about, Sam tries to placate her then blows a fuse, creating more drama on top of Lindsay's pre-existing manufactured drama. It's so functional their relationship.
There was apparently a major meltdown a few days ago too. Details are sketchy but it's another professional setback – word is she was hoping for a part in a movie and it fell through. And rumour has it she's been trying to get in touch with Sean Penn who won't call her back. They'd been talking about possibly working together, at least this is what she interpreted, but so far nothing's materialised.
This is where spray tanning comes in handy then?
The first image from her new spray tan ad series was released the other day – click here for a refresher – and here's another…
Orange Lilo with her toes all cocked up. Even her toes need a bump.

Respect The Waffle!
Belgian people take their beers, their chocolate, their wacky political system and their waffles very seriously. At Taste of Belgium, there is nothing we take more seriously than our waffle. We have grown a lot since the first waffle we baked at the back of a produce store. We are proud today of all the amazing food that our chefs serve all day, every day. We have some amazing dishes, some of them even featured on national television, but none of this would have been possible without the waffle.
Each waffle is baked individually in a specialized cast iron press, just like they were centuries ago by master cooks in the city of Liège, Belgium. We have perfected an old family recipe, passed down for generations, to bring you the taste and authenticity of a true Belgian favorite. Unlike other waffles, they are made from thick dough and a coarse Belgian beet sugar that caramelizes inside the waffle iron.
The secret to a good waffle is a good waffle iron. We do not make a good waffle, we make the best waffle and our waffle deserved the best waffle iron.
After breaking a few, many, too many waffle irons, we decided to gather all those design flaws and limitations and build our own. We lined up our connections of aluminum welders, metal benders, cast iron pourers and with the help of a genius designer friend, we built the absolute sturdiest, most reliable (and definitely most expensive-ever-made) cast iron waffle maker.
This is the only equipment we use to bake our waffle.
About Us
Taste of Belgium is a restaurant group of Belgian-inspired eateries. We take traditional Belgian recipes and we twist them; we take American classics and we Belgianize them.
In 2007, Jean-François Flechet brought back a 120lbs cast iron waffle maker from his native Belgium. He began baking the waffles he grew up with at the back of a produce store at Findlay Market. After a few weeks, the store was congested with waffle-eating-people and Jean-François was told he needed to find a new home.
The little waffle place grew, one waffle at a time to become a new Cincinnati/Columbus favorite. From one person and a waffle iron, Taste of Belgium expanded into multiple food establishments including two full service Bistros serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and a unique weekend brunch with a large selection of Belgian beers and two market locations: one at Findlay Market (Cincinnati, OH) and one at the North Market (Columbus, OH).
Taste of Belgium is also featured at the Great American Ballpark as the official waffle of the Cincinnati Reds.
Taste of Belgium draws on its Belgian heritage to create a one-of-a-kind, Belgian-inspired, locally infused culinary experience. We thumb our nose at convention and treat our guests and their taste buds to unexpected combinations and unorthodox preparations.
We believe elegant cuisine can be served with a down-to-earth attitude and humble foods can be served elegantly.
We take the food we create and the service we provide very seriously, but not ourselves.
Waffles, Chickens, Beer. Eat Like a Belgian, Drink Like a Belgian, Live Like a Belgian!

Latest installation by Montreal-based media and entertainment studio Moment Factory invites visitors to explore the illuminated paths of an enchanted forest in Québec, Canada. Foresta Lumina, a 2 km long trail, meanders through the Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook full of colorful light installations, visual projections and chilling sound effects.
According to the creative studio, Foresta Lumina strives to reveal park's natural beauties and mysteries. Along the nocturnal stroll through the forest, visitors are acquainted with the region's fictitious heritage and forest mythology: fairies, spirits and other bewitched mythical creatures. "It's all about goosebumps," says Gabriel Pontbriand of Moment Factory.
The multisensory experience is achieved through a set of skillful arrangements. Colorful lighting compositions turn the forest into a glistening canvas, whereas video mapping brings natural elements to life. Dynamic visual projections accompanied by ethereal soundtrack escort visitors into the mystical world of fantasy.
The project has already become a major tourist attraction with an average of 500 to 1,000 visitors every night. Foresta Lumina is open to public until October 11th. (via designboom)

Fight Fraud—Shred Instead!
Community Shredding and Electronics Recycling Day October 20 in Carmel
CARMEL, IN – Last year, more than 15.4 million Americans were victims of identity theft. That's about one person every two seconds. To help fight fraud, a handful of community groups are joining together for a document-shredding, electronics-recycling, bulk-item disposal and drug-disposal event on Saturday October 20th from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of Creekside Middle School, located on the southeast corner of West 126th Street and Shelborne Road.
This event is sponsored by a team of organizations including AARP, Carmel Utilities, Carmel Police Department, Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana, Technology Recyclers, Shred-it and WISH-TV. AARP Indiana will be handing out information about their free Fraud Watch Network.
SHREDDING: Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes today and most identity information is still obtained through hard copy paper sources. Shredding significantly reduces your risk when disposing of confidential information. It is recommended that you shred any documents that include a signature, account number, social security number, medical or legal information. The professional shredding is sponsored by Shred-it to benefit Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana. A donation is requested of $5 per bankers sized box or equivalent.
RECYCLING: The recycling drop-off event will be managed by Technology Recyclers. The following items will be accepted: all computers, servers, peripherals, wiring, cable, battery backups, monitors, TVs ($10 charge per monitor or TV); all electronics, phones, stereos, headsets, DVD players, any small appliance; IT equipment including hubs, switches, servers, routers, racks etc.; office equipment including fax machines, copiers, phone systems, industrial electronics, test equipment, medical equipment and large appliances including refrigerators and freezers.
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS: Properly removing unused and expired medicines from the home helps protect the environment and our community by keeping them out of our water supply and reducing accidental poisoning and prescription drug abuse. Uniformed officers will be accepting pharmaceuticals for proper disposal.
BULK ITEMS: As part of the City trash program with Republic Services, drop-off of bulk items will be available free of charge to trash customers (This is for City trash customers only; an ID or utility bill required). Examples of items to drop off include lawn equipment, carpet, furniture, grills (but no propane tanks), water heaters, swing sets, mattresses, etc. Space is limited and on a first come, first served basis. Please no liquids, toxic, landscape waste or tires. No electronic waste in bulk item disposal. Those items are accepted in electronics recycling.
ITEMS NOT ACCEPTED- No paints, light bulbs, tires, landscape waste, toxic or household hazardous waste.

It doesn't get much stranger than the Ax-Man Surplus Store on University Avenue.
"We affectionately call it the above-ground landfill," owner Jim Segal said.
His store is a junk emporium, selling everything from mannequin parts to medicinal eye droppers. The Ax-Man is one of about a thousand small businesses on University Avenue that help fuel the local economy and add to the corridor's eclectic mix.
Segal believes he knows how to run a successful business, even during the recession. But the idea of losing customers during light-rail construction, and the permanent elimination of most of the avenue's street parking, is sending him into a panic.
The planned Central Corridor line linking Minneapolis to St. Paul is coming in tens of millions of dollars under budget, and some business owners along University Avenue are urging elected officials to steer some of that extra cash into a compensation fund for businesses during construction. But Central Corridor planners say it's not that simple.
Segal said he's never asked the government for money -- until now.
"We're desperate at this point for results," Segal said. "We need to see things that will give us confidence that we'll have the support for those involved."
Business owners have been pleading for a compensation fund for the past couple of years. But with no firm commitments in sight, the University Avenue Business Association and the Asian Economic Development Association have been ratcheting up the pressure on elected officials, through letters and meetings.
They're pleading for a new fund that would offer emergency grants to businesses that can prove a substantial loss in revenue during construction.
So far, the Metropolitan Council and the Central Corridor Funders Collaborative have pledged a $1.5 million loan fund that even they admit is not adequate.
Lower-than-expected bids for construction work mean the project is nearly $35 million under budget. Segal said project planners can no longer claim there's no money in the budget for additional support for businesses. But he said officials at every level are passing the buck.
"We go to the county, and the county might say it's the state, and the state says maybe it's the feds. So it becomes somewhat of a circular conversation, and it becomes challenging," he said. "We're looking for someone to step up, take a leadership role, and say they support small business."
Business groups are even asking U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to delay a final funding agreement. That agreement would commit the federal government to paying half of the costs for the $1 billion project. Meanwhile, some Republican members of Congress have proposed a budget fix that would kill funding for the Central Corridor and other projects.
Yet local officials say setting aside money for small businesses isn't that easy.
"You can't just spend project dollars on anything you want to spend project dollars on," said Jim McDonough, chair of the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority. He said he doubts federal guidelines would allow project money to go toward businesses.
McDonough also worries that a compensation plan would set a new precedent for all other transportation projects that chew up the road.
"How does anybody explain to any of the other businesses in the city why they don't get mitigation help when there's a major project affecting them? That's why it's such a bigger issue than the Corridor," McDonough said.
"If this business goes down, then I go down."Store owner Shoua Thao
But McDonough feels Central Corridor planners need to do a better job of protecting business. He's among the many officials and business owners who were troubled by problems stemming from a lack of signs and lighting during early light-rail construction last year in St. Paul's Lowertown district. One bar and nightclub blamed the mess for its decision to shut down.
Those stories from Lowertown are shaking the confidence of business owners on University Avenue. Shoua Thao has run a clothing shop for 12 years on the corridor. Working at her sewing table, she said she's contemplating a move to somewhere else.
"I'm thinking about staying," she said. "But if I don't have any parking, what else should I do? If this business goes down, then I go down."
Project planners say construction on University Avenue would occur in phases on each side of the street for no more than 150 days at a time.
Meanwhile, some business owners are getting frustrated with the coalitions in place to help them. There's no consensus, even among a group called the Business Resources Collaborative, that a business compensation fund should be created.
St. Paul attorney Larry Peterson, a board member of the University Avenue Business Association, said the Business Resources Collaborative is comprised of government entities who can't commit to such a fund because they don't want to foot the bill.
Peterson said the new Metropolitan Council chair, Susan Haigh, and Gov. Mark Dayton need to get up to speed on the grassroots problems with the project.
"I don't think they're really aware of the panic stage people are getting into," Peterson said. "Based upon the Lowertown experience, and all of the meetings we've held or attended, we hear business people actually scared to death."
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Council declined to comment on the likelihood of a new business fund, but said an upcoming order on a lawsuit filed by St. Paul Rondo neighborhood businesses and activists could provide guidance. A federal judge could issue an order on the merits of that case any day now.
NOTE: Minnesota Public Radio has sued the Metropolitan Council over concerns about noise and vibration from Central Corridor trains. That lawsuit is still pending.

Trends Audio is a Hong Kong based high end audio company that is interested in making music lovers and Hi-Fi aficionados in our neck of the woods aware of their product line. They make mini size components which have been positively reviewed across the web. Some of their products feature cutting edge technologies and some even bask in retro coolness. Readers can see my review of the PA-10 tube Preamp & Headphone amplifier combo here (LINK); which I enjoyed immensely. The subject of this review is a complete Trends Audio desktop or tabletop "mini system".
This system is comprised of the PA-10, the TA-10 "Class T" integrated/power amp, the UD 10.1 USB DAC, and the PW-10 PSU power supply that supplies current to all three components, except the USB DAC when connected to a PC or laptop. The cost for the entire combination is Approximately $599, depending on currency rates. Yes, a tubed headphone pre, an integrated power amp, USB DAC, and power supply for under six hundred bucks. I was eager to take a listen, to say the least.
Chinese Hifi:
In my review of the PA-10, I mentioned that I had the opportunity to visit Hong Kong and mainland China last year and was surprised to find out the level of enthusiasm that exists for high end audio. I would say it even qualifies as a passion. I visited some Hi-Fi shops in Hong Kong and was shocked at the variety and sheer number of exotic components, speakers, and accessories for sale. Another thing I noted is that living quarters, and hotel rooms for that matter, are much smaller than what American and even Europeans are used to. Space, obviously, is at a premium.
Several years ago I had heard that the legendary Rogers LS3/5a BBC mini monitors had a cult following in Hong Kong and China. I realized why. Apart from being lovely sounding speakers, they were the perfect size for a smaller listening space. I owned a pair of Rogers that I traded in years ago. The buyer told me he promptly sold them on eBay to a Chinese buyer. Trends Audio is continuing the tradition in seeking to produce high quality, well engineered components that are easy to set up and require little space.
Set Up and Listening:
When I unpacked everything and inspected before installing, I was pleased with the overall build quality and attention to detail. This was not hastily created equipment. The speaker binding posts on the TA-10 were solid, as well as all the input and output jacks on all the units. The case work was wonderful too. The master power supply for all three components is built like a tank.
I have a rather large dining table, and allocated the far end is my make shift mini stereo set up area. I do the cooking in the household and always enjoy music while doing so. For me the location was a no brainer. I needed a pair of speakers as well. Out of the garage came my beloved Spendor S3/5's. They are my go-to mini monitors for evaluating small scale systems. I first hooked up the system with the TA-10 used as an integrated amplifier. It has a volume control, a pair of RCA inputs, and high quality clear plastic "euro style" speaker binding posts that accept spades or bananas. I hooked up the Spendors with some QED speaker cable, and using the supplied Y cable I hooked up my iPod Nano as a source. Holy Cow, it sounded wonderful and not just "for the money". There was real sound staging, midrange clarity and jump factor.
In the next phase, and at Trends request, I used the PA-10 as a preamp. This is easy to do. All that is required is to open up the chassis of the TA-10 and remove the jumpers to correspond to the volume control. I then connected the Nano to the PA-10, ran a one meter Transparent Music Link Interconnect to the TA-10 and off we went. Wow again! The sound took on an even more likeable character. Was it the bright blue glowing tube in the PA-10 that was adding a bit of body? I'm not sure, but I was certainly enjoying it.
Next up was the part I was anticipating the most, using my laptop as source, and plugging it into the Trends USB 10.1 DAC. It would be my first experience with USB audio, and the first time I would use a computer as direct source, as opposed to a control hub for a network driven music server. I have that kind of set up in my bedroom, with a Logitech Squeezebox as my interface, connected to a Channel Islands out board DAC. I spent a bit of time on the Internet to research whether I would need to download drivers, tackle any special changes in the audio set up of the laptop, etc. Thankfully, it was stress free, plug and play. My mini laptop runs Windows XP Home Edition and has iTunes installed. I ripped several discs in to the Apple proprietary lossless format. I then imported them into the laptop iTunes library. I plugged one end of the USB cable into the DAC, the other into laptop and hit play. Again, Wow, there was music!
I noticed the sound was a bit darker than when I was using the iPod as a source. It should be noted that many experts say there are several issues with Windows in the way that it processes audio, and the amount of jitter it introduces in the equation. There are several very expensive USB based Digital Audio Converters on the market that use "asynchronous" technology that claim to eliminate many of the problems with using a PC or MAC as direct source. It must also be said that a MAC seems to be more audio friendly, if one is to believe what is written in many of the computer audio internet forums.
I should note also that the DAC offers coax and optical inputs as well. (Are you kidding me, for this price?) This means, you can plug in a CD player, DVD player or a music server. The DAC sells for approximately $140. I also used the set up with an old Sharp portable minidisc player. Minidisc is a format that sadly has gone by the wayside, but one that I was quite fond of back in the day as my gym companion for several years. I still had some CD to minidisc transfers in my closet. Through the Trends set up it actually sounded even better than the Nano. But the Nano was no slouch. As a matter of fact, I remember sitting at the dining table listening to some Norah Jones I had on the Nano, and thinking to my self how wonderful her voice sounded coming thought the Trends driving the Spendors. Not digital, not mechanical, but musical in every way.
I had so much fun with the Trends combo, it almost seems to good to be true. A 15 watt amp, a tubed preamp and headphone amp, a USB DAC, and an external power supply for less than a pair of decent speaker cables? Well, this maybe the first time in a while my skepticism was unfounded. I used the word, fun, because I enjoyed the focused, distortion free, musical presentation with no downside. The Trends combo uses very little power, will fit almost anywhere, and will have budget audiophiles doing dances. Let me be clear that I don't think the Trends combo is just good enough to stick in the corner of the room, or in some dingy basement. It would work absolutely fine as a main system in a confined space with correctly matched speakers. You would not have to look hard for appropriate speakers either. My Spenders are low in sensitivity and offer an 8 ohm load. It was a breeze for the Trends amp to drive them.
I am also sure the Trends combo would even reach higher levels of performance with a few tweaks, such as a good power cord, perhaps an Ayre Myrtle Block or two, and a good solid platform to house the system. But even without such perfectionist obsessions,the Trends combo delivers. If hifi is supposed to be about fun, musical enjoyment, this system is off the charts. It also delivers what high end audio does not always bring with it, namely, value, and practicality. I wish this system was around when I was in college. I was living in a small apartment, had to make do with a cheap plastic all in one system. To say this set up beats the living hell out of that landfill fodder is the understatement of the decade. This may have been the most enjoyable review I have done, and it gives me pleasure to recommend a product that is affordable to all, saves space, electricity, and best of all, sounds great. That it allows for sources as varied as a turntable, CD player, music server, iPod, or computer makes this deal even more of a no brainer. It should be noted that any of these components can be purchased separately.

BYU defensive end Ziggy Ansah never played football at any level until he was persuaded to give the sport a try in 2010. He immediately showed off great burst and speed for his size, and he's viewed as a raw talent but the kind of guy who might be good enough at going and getting the quarterback to justify a Top 5 pick.
Ansah told the Detroit Free Press that he likes seeing the mock drafts that have the Lions taking him fifth overall, but he disputes the notion that he needs to play for a team that runs a wide-nine scheme like the Lions. Ansah says he can fit in any defense, for any team.
"I think I can fit anywhere, it don't matter. Play head up on a tackle and stop the run, play outside [in a five technique] or rush the quarterback from a nine. It just depends on the team I'm going to be on and how they want to use me," Ansah said.
Ansah said the Lions haven't contacted him at all since the Senior Bowl. Whether that means they're not interested or it means they're very interested and trying to hide their interest remains to be seen.
"If they want to call me, they will," Ansah said.
In Ansah's view, it doesn't matter which team takes him: He can contribute anywhere.
