— Editor's note: This is the third of three columns leading up to tonight's first round of the NFL Draft. Chad Courrier offered his opinion on Friday and Shane Frederick weighed in on Tuesday.
Draft day is finally here and that means Mel Kiper has a little more than 72 hours before he can slink off into obscurity again for another nine months. (Oops, I forgot the endless post-draft analysis. I guess Mel will be sticking around for awhile).
Anyway, it's time to predict what the Vikings will do later tonight when their number finally comes up. They have picks 23 and 25 in the first round.
Co-hort Chad Courrier has predicted a wide receiver with at least one of those selections. Fellow crony Shane Frederick says it will be a defensive lineman.
I like Shane's pick better than Chad's for a couple of reasons, not the least of which it's safer. This year's draft is heavy on lineman on both sides of the line, which means a quality player at that position should be available in Round 1.
While they are both pretty good predictions, I'm leaning toward an inside linebacker as the team's first choice. If you take a look at the team's depth chart right now, something named Tyron McKenzie is listed first at middle linebacker. It's a sure bet the Vikes want to upgrade at that spot.
There are some good LB's to be had coming out of college this year. Unfortunately, the top three — Dion Jordan of Oregon, Barkevious Mingo of LSU and Jarvis Jones of Georgia — are outside linebackers.
The consensus for inside linebackers seems to be that Georgia's Alex Ogletree and Notre Dame's Manti Te'o are the two best. And there's a decent chance one or both of them will be there when Minnesota picks.
Ogletree stands 6-feet-21⁄2 and weighs 242 pounds. He ran a 4.69 at the scouting combine.
Talent wise, Kiper and his peers believe Ogletree should be a Top-10 pick. There are, however, character concerns, which means he may drop to Minnesota. He missed the first four games of last season after failing a drug test and then was arrested and charged with DUI in February.
Te'o, despite his invisible girlfriend, does not have the character flaws of Ogletree. But he didn't shine at the combine (4.82) and failed to impress in the BCS championship game when Alabama took it to him.
Rest assured Vikings GM Rick Spielman has been doing a lot of checking on both players and will rank them accordingly. If they don't take one with the 23rd pick, don't be surprised if they come back and nab one at 25.
One other player to consider is Florida State cornerback Xavier Rhodes. That's certainly another team need but there's only a small chance Rhodes will still be available when Minnesota picks.
Linebacker is more likely, even if it means Vikings fans have to keep their fingers crossed.

Customer comments about Griffin Duo Bunk:
We've had our eye on this bed ever since before our second kid. It is fitting and functional for kids and a lot of fun. When it arrived you would have thought we had installed a Disney ride in our house. The kids went straight to the top bunk. It is not an inexpensive piece, but totally worth it! We are so pleased with our bed. Sturdy, pleasing to the adult eye and an adventure for kids - it is the perfect piece of furniture for our family.

DIETERICH — The pace was about as fast as either coach could expect, but Dieterich eventually outran Beecher City and raced to a 65-41 win to open the boys tournament.
Dalton Hinterscher scored 28 points to top all scorers and Dieterich grabbed its second win over the Eagles this month.
"That's not the same team we saw up there," said Dieterich coach Jeff Staser. "They're going to be ready for us (next time)."
In the first quarter of Thursday morning's game, it looked like Beecher City was more than ready for the Movin' Maroons. They jumped out to a 13-4 lead over Dieterich, thanks to Brady Barnes scoring seven quick points while Hinterscher struggled to find his shot.
But Dieterich went on a quick 10-0 run of its own and Hinterscher had seven points to close the quarter.
The Maroons started to extend their lead in the second, as Hinterscher had 11 more points in the quarter. Outside of Barnes and Donovan Riley, the Eagle offense went ice cold and Dieterich took a 34-24 lead at halftime.
Things got sloppier as the game progressed, and while Beecher City matched the hustle of Dieterich, the pace seemed to get to them as the game went on.
"You always wonder how your team is going to perform after two or three days off," Staser said. "We came out a little flat; they beat us to a lot of loose balls."
Dieterich kept extending the lead through the second half, as both coaches extended their rotations to keep their teams' legs fresh for the rest of the tournament.
The Maroons took a 52-36 lead into the fourth quarter, and Beecher City scored just five points in the fourth quarter.
Barnes finished with 19 points for Beecher City, and Riley added 10 points of his own.
Beecher City coach Jason Eirhart was not available for comment after the game.

Introducing L20rk: the Linux Laptop Orchestra
When I searched Google for "define: orchestra", I received some interesting responses. The first definition I found says "a musical organization consisting of a group of instrumentalists including string players", which describes a rock band as well as the Boston Pops. Another defines an orchestra as "an instrumental ensemble, usually fairly large with string, brass, woodwind sections and possibly a percussion section as well". That one is closer to the popular conception of an orchestra, but my favorite definition is "a group of musicians led by the conductor who accompany the singers", a clarification sure to ruffle the feathers of many an orchestral instrumentalist.
The definition of a laptop orchestra requires similar flexibility. Modern computers make excellent music machines, whether for common media playback or for the specialized purposes of music composition and audio synthesis. Even inexpensive laptops, notebooks and Netbooks are capable of high-quality real-time synthesis, giving them an apparently limitless variety of sounds. The machine is well described as a meta-instrument, an instrument that subsumes the sound palette of traditional instruments and adds new sonic possibilities of its own. An ensemble of such machines might be described as a meta-orchestra, an orchestra of orchestras or simply a laptop orchestra.
In this article, I combine a project profile, an interview with the team leader and some musings on the significance of the world's first Linux Laptop Orchestra, aka L2Ork (pronounced "lork"). The L2Ork is not the first group of its kind, but it is the first such group based on Linux system and application software. The laptop orchestra has arrived.
Today's laptop performance groups have evolved from aesthetic concepts and performance practices that date from the early days of the personal computer. In the late 1970s, musicians and hackers around San Francisco formed the League Of Automatic Music Composers. The League's many fascinating projects included one of the first "network bands" based on the newly available KIM-1 microcomputer. Eventually, the League disbanded, but members John Bischoff and Tim Perkis formed another network band to perform what they called Hub music. The Hub's performances were successful enough to keep the performing group active for ten years.
In 1985, the arrival of MIDI revolutionized the entire music world. For the first time, music could be composed, performed and recorded with an inexpensive single computer, without the need for instrumentalists and at comparatively little expense. Unfortunately, MIDI has certain drawbacks for networked ensembles, including a relatively slow transmission rate bound to a serial data flow. Nevertheless, ensembles of computers running MIDI software could network within the limitations of the specification, and even The Hub experimented with MIDI connectivity.
By the late 1990s, desktop computers were powerful enough to perform real-time audio synthesis while simultaneously processing MIDI data. At the start of the 21st century, the same measure of raw power could be found in lightweight low-cost portable machines, and the development of OSC (Open Sound Control) removed some of the restrictions imposed by MIDI. Among its virtues, OSC accommodates a much wider variety of data types and requires only common networking hardware, such as Ethernet cabling and connectors, giving it a natural fit to designs for computer-based orchestras.
The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) Project deserves mention in this context. A wireless LAN of OLPC laptops can be bound to one machine's clock for synchronizing the group, giving any group of OLPC machines the capabilities of a laptop orchestra. However, those capabilities are restricted by the relatively low power of the machine itself.
In spring 2008, the prestigious Computer Music Journal published two papers describing the activities of a laptop orchestra led by Ge Wang and Perry Cook at Princeton University. The descriptions and analyses of the Princeton Laptop Orchestra (aka PLOrk) provided the starting points for subsequent laptop-based orchestras, such as the Stanford Laptop Orchestra (SLOrk), and eventually found their way into the able hands and mind of Ivica Ico Bukvic, a professor of music at Virginia Tech and the founder and current director of the Linux Laptop Orchestra there.
The Princeton Laptop Orchestra defined the form and basic potential of the laptop ensemble, but it relied upon the combination of a powerful open-source programming language (Ge Wang's ChucK) with a powerful closed-source application (Cycling 74's Max/MSP) running on proprietary hardware (Apple PowerBooks and MacBooks). Alas, those closed and proprietary aspects can drive the costs of such an ensemble beyond the budgets of many music departments and other interested organizations. Fortunately, the next logical step was taken by the Linux laptop orchestra. Max/MSP can be replaced by Pd and other free software, the restriction of vendor-specific hardware can be removed by the use of inexpensive commodity machines and input devices, and even the cost of the speaker arrays can be reduced significantly. During our interview, L2Ork leader Ico Bukvic stated that the current cost per seat was about $750 and that the cost included the computer and the speaker system.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

— MIDDLETOWN, Ind. - A man recently divorced from his wife killed her, her new boyfriend and himself in a string of murders that has jarred this quiet community in central Indiana, police said.
Sheriff's deputies found Ruth Webb, 38, and Robert Morrow, 42, dead from apparent gunshot wounds in her home early Tuesday, said state police spokesman Sgt. John Bowling. Later that morning, police discovered Johnny Webb, 39, dead from gunshot wounds inside a van about three miles away.
Ruth Webb filed for divorce from Johnny Webb in January; it was granted in April. She was awarded custody of their teenager daughter, according to court documents.
Prosecutor Joseph Bergacs said he knew of no history of domestic violence between the Webbs, nor did he know a reason for the murders. Their daughter was not home at the time.
Ruth Webb and Morrow were "boyfriend and girlfriend," said Bergacs, but he didn't know for how long.
Webb lived in a house surrounded by fields, a line of trees and scattered houses in an area that neighbors describe as peaceful. She was featured in a local newspaper story several years ago that described how she lost 147 pounds in Weight Watchers.
Morrow recently separated from his wife, with whom he had three children, according to his cousin, Joel Morrow Jr.
Johnny Webb was living in an apartment in Anderson, about 10 miles from Middletown. Two weeks ago he left a note for apartment manager Ed Ferree saying he could no longer pay rent but telling Ferree to keep the security deposit.
Webb recently told Ferree he'd bought a gun, said the apartment manager, adding that Webb didn't discuss his personal life.
Details for this story were reported by the Herald-Bulletin of Anderson, Ind.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar today announced a 20-year ban on new hardrock mining claims on one million acres surrounding the 1.2 million-acre Grand Canyon. The region is rich in uranium deposits. Following is a statement from the Nuclear Energy Institute's Senior Vice President for Governmental Affairs, Alex Flint:
"Because there is no scientifically verified threat to the Grand Canyon's environment from uranium mining, the nuclear energy industry opposes the prohibition announced today. Without scientific justification, the administration's decision prevents mining for some of the nation's best high-grade uranium deposits.
"This decision actually makes more challenging the difficult struggle to reduce America's dependence on imported sources of energy. The land covered by this prohibition contains as much as 375 million pounds of uranium, seven times current U.S. annual demand. Our nation's ability to realistically pursue energy independence hinges in part on our ability and willingness to produce uranium supplies domestically. Thirty years ago, reactors here used U.S.-mined uranium for all of our electricity production, but the level today is less than 10 percent.
"The nuclear energy industry prides itself on our record of environmental stewardship at facilities across the nation. This commitment includes programs certified by the Wildlife Habitat Council, collaborative efforts with organizations such as Ducks Unlimited and the Audubon Society, and activities endorsed by myriad state departments of environmental conservation. These programs protect manatees, blue birds, bald eagles, crocodiles, wetlands, and much, much more.
"There is nothing in the environmental impact statements evaluating this mining prohibition to suggest that the uranium mining would compromise our record of ecological excellence. Phantom fears do not a reasoned, successful energy policy make."

And the downed guy can run with other "Alive" guys to a place in the map where there aren't many zombies yet if the others don't have quick revive. I also think when you get this perk you should have more "downed" ammo cause an MP40 with 32 bullets just isn't enough.
7. That's Stamin - up
Ummm. How do I reply right under what people have said?
i would really like a gun that could turn zombies into skeletons like u could be running and a whole bunch of zombies are chasing u shoot the weapon at the zombies then they turn into skeletons and cruble to the floor in bone
like killstreaks but round streaks.. you stay up for 10 rouns you get a free perk.. stay up for 15 rounds you get a turret.. 25 rounds a free pack a punch.....
10 rounds a perk not to sure maybe 15 all turrets are turned on 30 atleast but by then your guns would be done anyway
Zombies is a great game..however I feel that zombie maps cannot go on forever this time around.For example if you survive 50 levels of kinder toten I think there should be a save point and an expanded area you are able to unlock. Once in that area you have to unlock more doors opening everything up and survive another 50 until advancing on. Ultimately no matter how vague the story line...the gameplay and diffculty of zombies is what makes it so attractive. It takes alot of hours to go far, it would be nice if there is a goal no mater how diffcult to reach.
I think we need to have a map twice the size of call of the dead and moon and also make it to where we could have more than 4 player becuse that means more zombies to KILL!!!!!!!!! For the perks i think we need a new one with the other 8 we already have. This new perk has the abilty to telport you to the nerest teamate near you this would really be more fair. And anotheer thing we should have is two new game mode one for just regualer zombie playing and then one with mods any thing you can think of but no leaderbords this worl be more fun .
make your perks more powerful
double pack-a-punch
i think it speaks for itself
1. We need some way to give the players the option to lend money to other players, also a way to let someone take your weapon from the box if you want them to.
2. We NEED a theater mode for it, I can't count how many times i did somthin awesome and had no way to show it to anyone.

Reform and the Revenue Cycle
Qualify for a free subscription to HealthLeaders magazine.
This article appears in the June issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is designed, in part, to provide more patients with health insurance through expanded Medicaid eligibility and the introduction of government-run health insurance exchanges that will allow low-income individuals to purchase medical coverage at a subsidized rate.
The goals include improving access to care for this segment of the population and reducing the amount of uncompensated care provided by the nation's hospitals. While this sounds good on paper, many hospital finance administrators are not convinced that the PPACA will benefit providers and are instead bracing to take a hit to the revenue cycle.
Tim Nguyen, corporate controller at Palomar Health, a San Diego–based system with 690 licensed acute care hospital beds and $2.5 billion in gross annual revenue, says there is a catch-22 built into the healthcare legislation that will ultimately hurt providers.
"With the Affordable Care Act coming out, more people are going to qualify to go to the exchanges. In the past, most of that would have been bad debt, and we would have to write it off and that hurts [us]. So, yes, this could potentially reduce our bad debt. But here's the catch: The exchanges will have different tiers with different deductibles and copays," he says.
California's health exchanges will have four tiers when the program goes live in January 2014, Nguyen explains: platinum (where the patient pays 10% of total healthcare expenses); gold (20%); silver (30%); and bronze (40%).
"These patients will still be responsible to pay, and they probably don't make that much money and are likely to choose the silver or bronze tier to keep the premiums low. … That will increase our bad debt even though they have insurance."
Additionally, the federal government will subsidize insurance purchased through the exchanges with consumer tax credits—something Nguyen says will be bad for providers. "They are going to reduce reimbursements to pay for the program. What they did on the front end, they will take back on the back end. When you put all these things together, you come out negative," he says.

NORMAN — Remember last season, when Bob Stoops was talking up Trey Millard as one of the Oklahoma's best players what seemed like every week, when Millard was turning in huge game after huge game, making the most of all those opportunities?
Well, the first half of that really happened. But the second half never happened. For the most part, Millard's opportunities were limited to blocking for Dominique Whaley first and Roy Finch second. And even then, not particularly often.
Millard had 24 carries all of last season, including zero in two games and one in five games. If there was any move to use him more, it came in the last two games, when Millard combined for nine carries against Oklahoma State and Iowa.
He was never not effective, finishing the season with 169 yards on just 24 carries. It was the same thing in the passing game, where he turned 13 receptions into 127 yards, catching three balls in the opener, zero in six of OU's 13 games and one in two others.
Well, it's not like Millard's the only player responsible for the Sooners' offensive resurgence against Texas Tech and Texas, but it's clear that the biggest chance in terms of personnel receiving opportunities to gain yards, or even remain on the field to help others gain yards, has been the implementation of a whole lot more Trey Millard.
Even if nobody wants to say so.
On Monday, Bob Stoops was asked if he had to get in the ear of his offensive staff to make it give Millard more chances, the kinds of chances that produced six touches (four carries, two catches) for 45 yards against of total offensive against Texas Tech and eight touches (three carries, five catches) for 164 yards of total offense against Texas.
"No … We're very aware of what our players can do," he said. "Overall, there were some rhythm issues, not picking up third downs in a game here or there. We didn't have as many snaps."
Of course, that's ridiculous. What Lubbock and Dallas have told is the Sooners didn't get as many snaps because they weren't using Millard often enough.
Nobody wants to go there.
Nobody wants to say they had their head in the sand for a long time, that there were toughness issues and playing physical issues and running-the-ball issues and change-of-pace-in-the-passing-game issues that all might have been aided by a fullback that had regularly been referred to as one of the best players on the team, even as he was treated as something much different.
Landry Jones sort of said there's a new offensive direction, but he gave co-offensive coordinator and play-caller Josh Heupel the credit, even though Heupel was in a position to do something about it for a long time.
"I think we're creating more of an identity of what we really want to do and I think coach Heupel is doing a great job getting the game plan, calling plays getting us into a rhythm," Jones said. "I think we're coming into our own."
Anyway, they're starting to use more of their own.
After crushing Texas 63-21, Millard had a great line. He'd just caught five passes for 119 yards and run the ball three times for 45 and he said, "I knew there was an opportunity to have this type of day … Coach Heupel put me in a lot of good situations."
You couldn't help but wonder, all of last season, and three games into this one, if he'd ever had the luxury of feeling the same way.
By figuring Millard out, OU appears to have figured itself out. Because he can do more than one thing, and because he doesn't have to take a vital playmaker off the field when he enters, defenses have to account for much more than they did prior to his arrival.
Also, it has come late.
It took half a season to come up with a short-yardage plan that worked, and more than a season to come up with something for one of the best players on the team, just ask Bob Stoops, going back to last year.
Good thing somebody put their foot down. Even though we'll never be told who.
Millard's output adds input to OU's offense

David Cage has made a habit over the years of blurring the lines between film and video game. His last effort, "Heavy Rain," was a marvel of technology. Its "innovations" in gameplay, however, were less clearly beneficial. The amount of interactivity is tiny, and everything you do is in service to the narrative. There is very little freedom in your actions.
And yet, you press on, curious to see where Cage is taking you. It's not far off from arcade classic "Dragon's Lair," except that rather than constantly dying when you make a wrong move, the consequence of poor play is being forced to press on to a less satisfying conclusion.
"Beyond: Two Souls" (PS3; Rated M; $59.99) is the latest of Cage's visions, and his fans are likely to be pleased that he is not compromising his vision of what games can and should be. It's a game with names on the marquee, names like Ellen Page (still hard to see as anyone other than the title character from "Juno") and Willem Dafoe.
Page, for her part, does most of the heavy lifting. She plays Jodie Holmes, whom the player inhabits for the majority of the game, jumping around 15 or so years of her life. We see her struggles to adapt to a world that doesn't understand her, a world not ready to accept that this girl/woman might actually be corresponding with an entity from another dimension. The entity's name is Aiden, typically represented as a black blob-ish thing with an umbilical cord-like attachment to Jodie.
The player gets to be Aiden as well, usually when Jodie is in a pinch and doesn't have a ready solution to a given problem. Where much of the experience of playing as Jodie is one of frustrating helplessness, playing as Aiden offers a sort of freedom. You get to fly around the environment, exploring in ways Jodie can't. Granted, you can only wander so far given Aiden's attachment to Jodie, but it's still a nice touch that offers the player some semblance of "play" within the narrative.
Indeed, the biggest criticism to be leveled at "Beyond: Two Souls" is that you don't play it so much as you participate in it. As Jodie, you'll walk from place to place, perhaps pointing a stick in a given direction to trigger a few minutes of movie. There are a few action sequences where you point in the direction you want to dodge, or kick, or whatever might be appropriate, but it's not an action game. It's a quiet game, and you spend most of your time watching that quiet, with a few controller prompts along the way.
Playing as Aiden, as mentioned before, offers a little more freedom, but the things you can interact with are still very, very limited. You can see more, but you can't necessarily do more.
Maybe this doesn't sound appealing, but descriptions of what you do simply can't do justice to the experience of playing the game. The appeal of "Beyond: Two Souls" is largely due to its actors, whose motion-captured performances keep you engaged, even as the story sometimes flounders and wanders. Crucially, Ellen Page is easy to root for in the biggest role, drawing you, as the player, into wanting her to succeed in whatever it is she happens to be doing. "Beyond: Two Souls" might not be redefining video gaming as we know it, but as a foil to the action-oriented big-budget norm, it's a fascinating and worthwhile piece of work.
New This Week: "The Wolf Among Us" (PS3, X360, PC) is Telltale Games' first big storytelling effort since the brilliant series of "Walking Dead" episodes, and it looks to be as well executed as its game-of-the-year-courting predecessor. Elsewhere, "Valhalla Knights 3" (Vita) may well eat 100 hours of your life if you let it, though the "hard-M" material in the game may put many players off of the experience altogether.

How well do you know your town? Have you ever asked yourself what your town has to tell you from its past?
The New York State History Room has many town histories in its collection. Most relate to Delaware and Otsego counties. Some of the books we have are general county histories and gazetteers that will give you fun historical facts of the day too. It has been pretty hot here lately, but it has happened before. In July of the year 1911, Otsego County saw temperatures that reached 94 degrees and then in July of the following year temperatures got as low as 39 degrees.
Here is some information from some of our town history books.
In the book "Franklin Lore" by Maria Sherrill Miller Albrecht, we learn about the first meeting of one of the longest organizations of its kind, the Washington Reading Circle. Started by a group of women with the intent to study current and historical events, the Circle's motto is "Onward, upward, patriotic and progressive." Readers of "Franklin Lore" also discover that the Miller Family farm was a part of the Underground Railroad route up the Ouleout Valley. You will learn about the status of women, the first flower show, and Frank Pom — who got a welcoming from his father he never expected.
The book "Two Centuries in Westford" by the Westford Community Association highlights a range of topics for the town including businesses, education, families, servicemen, and more. Although once known as the honorary "Hop Capital of New York State," Westford has primarily supported a strong history of dairy farming. In 1933, there were 133 farms but this number had dropped to nine by 1985. Westford was home to the Maple Valley Cheese Factory. It started in 1890, the factory received the bulk of more than 20 farmers' daily milk production. The standard ratio was 10 pounds of milk to one pound of cheese. The cheese was packaged and shipped on the D&H to New York City. When Borden's arrived in 1920, and higher dairy prices lured farmers' away, Maple Valley Cheese closed. Westford is also home to famous sons Andrew Sloan Draper, the first Commissioner of Education for New York state, and Alden Chester, a future chief justice of the state Supreme Court.

BRGR is a new burger restaurant in the lower level of the Cranberry Mall at Route 19 and Freedom Road. BRGR is known for its gourmet burgers and fun milkshake flavors – with and without alcohol.
BRGR is a contemporary bar/restaurant. The bar is smack dab in the middle of the restaurant, with big TVs overhead on four sides.
There are tables with couches, booths and regular tables, and on warm nights, the garage-door-style windows open so folks can sit on the outdoor patio.
We were there on a Friday night and had a 10-minute wait, but it looked like we timed it right because others were waiting before us and looked a bit impatient. We got there about 8.
It is noisy there – if you want a quiet, romantic night out, you are going to want to go somewhere else. If you want a great burger and milkshake at a happening place, go to BRGR.
BRGR's milkshakes are made with whole milk and ice cream from Dave & Andy's in Pittsburgh. Yum. BRGR is not looking for low-cal here, folks, but these milkshakes score, with or without alcohol.
I had a Sally Carmel milkshake with bourbon, sea salt caramel sauce and vanilla bean. It was delicious although I couldn't really taste the alcohol. Spiked milkshakes are $8 and regular are $5.
My husband had a spiked float – bourbon cherry, also $8, and he loved it. Chocolate and cherry, who wouldn't?
BRGR also has a full bar menu with a nice selection of craft beers.
We passed on appetizers because we knew we were having heavier drink choices and burgers, which, after all, is why we went there. BRGR has a variety of appetizers including fried pickles, which I see sprouting up everywhere on menus. You can try nachos, homemade chips, onion rings and fries if you have a bigger appetite than us. Appetizer prices start at $3.
BRGR offers happy hour specials from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Since BRGR specializes in burgers, that is what we chose. I had the "Shroomz," a burger with caramelized onions, mushrooms and brie. It was outstanding. I must admit I had a bit of a bad moment when it came with a medium-well pick in the top, but it must have been the pick from my husband's burger as mine was a perfect medium.
He chose a "Fire in the Hole" burger with hot peppers, guacamole and pepper jack cheese and loved it as well. And yes, it was cooked medium-well to his request.
We had homemade chips at $3 and fries for $4 – you have to order and pay for sides – and they were generous sides and delicious. One side would do nicely for a couple.
Other burgers include the "Tree Hugger" – a vegetarian offering; "The Locavore," which is a lamb burger; and "Average Joe," a regular, old hamburger. You can also choose to build your own burger. Prices range from $7 to $14 for burgers.
BRGR also has salads and hot dogs.
There are desserts on the menu, but as you can imagine, the milkshakes and burgers did us in. When my 6-foot-4-inch husband passes on dessert, you know it is a filling meal. A cookie ice cream sandwich and brownie a la mode are on the menu, for $6 each.
We had a delightful waitress, and when it looked like we were sitting there awhile without being served, another waiter popped over to make sure someone was getting us drinks. Despite the busy night, our waitress was smiling and cheerful, and it looked like the rest were as well. The kitchen was a bit slow, but it was busy and we were enjoying our milkshakes and the warm, pleasant night, so we didn't mind one bit.
Address: 20111 Route 19 & Freedom Road, Cranberry Mall
Information: http://www.brgrpgh.com and 724-BEEF [2333].
Hours: 11:30 a.m. until midnight with food served until 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11:30 until 2 a.m. with food served until midnight Friday and Saturday and 11:30 a.m. until 10 p.m. with food served until 9 p.m. Sunday.

I have better 2.0 speakers from the early 90's that'll blow this one to pieces.
I actually have this set on my desk. For $50, they are decent but certainly not the best computer speakers I've owned.
Hmm, these have 14.4VDC / 2.5A power input, so even if a very efficient design where there's at most 1.4V drop across a couple output transistors in the amp chip output stage, that's still 13VDC max rail to rail.
Even if the speaker is only 4 ohms, 13V/4ohm = 3.25 amps per channel, EXCEPT that both channels have to operate within the shared 2.5A limit of the PSU so the max is 1.25A per channel.
That limits effective voltage to 4ohm * 1.25A = 5V, so 5V * 1.25A = 6.25W per channel or 12.5W total, not 13W /channel.
Granted, you won't usually find a decent 2.0 system with 26W RMS for $50, and I don't even think a 2.0 set this size needs 26W RMS, but I'd expect a little more honest rating from a major brand.

- Child or adult who is or has become disabled
- Caretaker of a person with a physical disability
Who you are
You (or the person you're caring for) are an independent spirit and you want your home to reflect that. In addition to being highly-functional for you to get around with your assistive devices like a wheelchair, you want your home to be beautiful. You're particular about your needs and care about living in the best possible, most comfortable home.
What your issues tend to be
Right now, your home has temporary fixes that are allowing you to get around, but it's far from optimal. Frankly, these stop-gap solutions are getting on your nerves and you're concerned about how safe they are. For example, getting onto your front porch or getting up the stairs requires help from someone else. Getting through the doorways is also another challenge because most of them are not wide enough.
What you need most right now
Among the modifications you could use are widened doorways, accessible handles, a way to get from one level of your home to another safely and comfortably, a remodeled bathroom that's high on safety, style, and function.
Your next step: Schedule an in-home "Optimal Home" consultation
Consulting Services
Are you thinking about moving into an assistive living facility because you're unsure if living at home is either feasible or safe any longer? Before spending a large amount of money in attorney, real estate, moving and/or storage fees, not to mention the time, effort and emotional trauma of uprooting yourselves in the middle of your golden years, schedule an appointment with one of our consultants and allow us to spell out your options to allow you to gracefully age in place in the comfort of your own home. Remember, there's no place like home.
We provide consultative services to architects, builders, remodelers, & trustees of supplemental or special needs trusts to create & assist in implementing adaptable solutions that improve independence in the home & ease the challenges posed to our clients as well as their family.
We also work with law firms and life care planners in an expert witness capacity to assist with case reviews and provide court room testimony for attorney's clients. We also provide detailed reports that outline accessible home modification projects which includes an objective cost analysis for those proposed modifications. These modifications promote independence for attorney's clients who are permanently disabled due to a traumatic event, medical malpractice situation etc. and can be used to help substantiate proposed settlements and potentially allow for greater compensation for their clientele.

Please, Gov. Haley, deliver us from Utilities, Inc.
This is directed to Gov. Nikki Haley:
I grew up thinking that with hard work and a bit of chutzpa, I could fix what was wrong. A potato in salty soup, a patch on a flat tire ...
It seems that it is impossible to fix what Utilities Inc. has done to the state of South Carolina and the 144 communities they treat as their private piggy bank with total disregard for their customers' safety.
Let the sewers overflow into drinking water, in coves while children swim, over land walked upon by golfers, children and dog walkers.
No problem, no need to mark it as hazardous.
No calls to residents to warn them that there will be no drinking water for hours or days.
Leaking water pipes, broken driveways, toxic smells. An average day in Tega Cay!
We have worked hard to rid our community of this scourge, this blight on our beautiful part of the world!
We have photographed and documented atrocities committed within our borders.
We have begged, written and pleaded with DHEC, ORS, PSC, U.S. Attorney, EPA, DNR to absolutely NO avail!
The slam of the door against our efforts is loud and clear. The efforts of other communities in South Carolina echo ours.
There's a law that protects them. Utilities, Inc. is guaranteed a 10.8 percent ROR, they have more attorneys, more money, more than time – Utilities Inc. has someone's protection.
We can't sue in small claims court, Utilities Inc. is a public utility. PSC can't order them to fix things, Utilities Inc. is a private company.
Governor, didn't your mom also tell you with hard work, you could fix things? Make your mom proud – please be strong, please get rid of Utilities Inc. Help us!

Posted September 1996
INTERNET is not a panacea for the removal of constraints to rural development. But it does bring new information resources and can open new communication channels for rural communities. It offers a means for bridging the gaps between development professionals and rural people through initiating interaction and dialogue, new alliances, inter-personal networks and cross-sectoral links between organizations. It can create mechanisms that enable the bottom-up articulation and sharing of local knowledge.
Rural communities represent the "last mile of connectivity" challenge in both developing countries and developed countries, with regard to access to Internet services and the telecommunication connections that help transmit those services. How can development agencies coordinate and support activities to assist rural stakeholders in completing the last mile of connectivity?
In an effort to explore the relationship between the Internet and rural development, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the Department of Rural Extension Studies at the University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada, sponsored a fact-finding mission. We present here the executive summary and a series of pilot project ideas from a report titled "The Internet and Rural Development" prepared by Dr. Don Richardson of the University of Guelph. The mission was organized through FAO's Programme of Cooperation with Academic and Research Institutions, and FAO's Sustainable Development Department's "Electronic Information Systems" working group, with funding from FAO and the University of Guelph.
The fact-finding mission took place between March and July of 1996, during which time the author met with individuals and organizations in Canada, the United States, the Netherlands, Italy, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Senegal, Egypt, Mexico and Chile.
The following report outlines the elements of a communication for development approach applied to the Internet and rural development, together with recommendations for strategy and activity, and an overview of Internet activities in developing countries. A key recommendation for FAO is an Internet and development strategy focused on rural and agricultural communities and the intermediary agencies that serve those communities with advice, project support, research, extension, and training. The cornerstone of this strategy is capacity building activities for rural and agricultural organizations in order to create and enhance locally managed Internet use, tools and resources.
The recommendations and project ideas in this report may be of interest to other development agencies which have or are interested in supporting activities focused on developing Internet infrastructure and applications in developing countries. Collaboration among agencies supporting Internet and development initiatives can achieve important multiplier effects as agencies harmonize their efforts while insuring that their particular constituencies are served. The goal is for development agencies, in partnership with stakeholders, to make full use of Internet tools such as the World Wide Web and interactive discussion tools to assist rural development efforts.
We welcome comments and requests for a full copy of the report in MS Word or WordPerfect format. Please contact:

According to Wikipedia, his first name is Willard.
I'm another "i" name, Judi. My daughter is Andi, who is studying for her Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and has a straight A average. I also have a niece Kelli, who has graduated with distinction with a Bachelor degree in Biology. Another niece Debbi is a missionary. We are not ditzy or slutty. Pffffttttt to you "i" haterzzzz.
DH and I have called him Willard Romney ever since learning that Mitt was not his real first name.
And dont forget Dr. Debi Thomas!
just met someone w/twins oz and zo. maybe individually they aren't disgusting. but as a set, it is just dumb. and she didnt get the reaction she wanted so she assumed i didnt get it and she SLOWLY explained that each was the other spelled backwards.
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
My mother went to a 1st birthday party for a coworker's baby girl who had a name that had 'z', 'x', 'y', and all the vowels in it in some order.
I probably forgot the exact spelling because of how horrified I was and thought it was a joke or some mistake in the party favors where someone just mashed keys on a keyboard as a placeholder.
Lady 2: there isn't anything about me on goooogle, I mean, I must take it off if there is.....
Lady 3: The google is a terrible thing, I mean I don't want anything on there! (Overheard by millyskate on a London train.)
Maybe she let her cat walk on her keyboard to come up with a name.
When I'm old, I don't want them to say of me, "She's so charming." I want them to say, "Be careful, I think she's armed."
Fact of Life: After Monday and Tuesday even the calendar says W T F
I knew a guy named Ulric. His parents like the idea of naming their kids in alphabetic order as some people do but felt starting with A was overdone. So they started with Z and worked their way backwards. The only problem with this is that they were of Japanese descent so most of Ulric's family members couldn't pronounce his name correctly including his parents!
Actual bumper sticker series: Jesus is my co-pilot. Satan is my financial advisor. Budha is my therapist. L. Ron Hubbard owes me $50.
Going by what some people here say they like or what they have actually named their kid(s), this community can be pretty bad at naming too. In my own family, I have a sister who has two aunts' names combined: Julia & Lena = Julienne, pronounced JOO-lean. She has had to explain the pronouciation & the spelling all her life. I have a brother named Philip with one L who also has trouble with people misspelling his name. The rest of us have common names with common spellings (Claudia, Michael, Charles), except my oldest sister is Karen, which was not common when she was born.
My maternal grandmother was Martha, which you don't see much anymore. I have a cousin named for her, but she goes by Marty. My paternal grandmother was called Effie. I can't remember her full name but I heard it when I was young & it was pretty. Ephimena? Something like that.
I have a niece Katie who married a Ken. That was coincidence, but she named her 2 sons with K's. Their names would be ok if spelled with a C but they just look stupid & cutesy with a K: Kooper & Kolton. My other niece named her son Tanner.
I think I've told this story before, but I have a pair of cousins whom my grandfather wanted to name, being the patriarch of the family and all. Unfortunately, my aunt and uncle really didn't want them to be saddled with non-English names that they were going to have to explain for the rest of their lives, but didn't want to offend her father either, so the parents decided that they would just let him pick out the names... and then they promptly put "Alex" and "Emily" on their birth certificates. When the poor toddlers got old enough to make their first trip back to China to visit their proud grandfather, my aunt and uncle tried to explain that they were now required to answer to totally different names
Worst of all, it turned out that neither of them could even really speak Chinese, so this ruse fell through quickly
In my immediate family, there are : Andi, Alyssa, Alice, Ava, Alaina, Alana, and Alina.
My siblings all have fairly traditional Anglo middle names. Me? I got the got the German middle name, complete with Umlaut, which nobody can spell or pronounce. Nor does it help that the "ü" in my middle name is spelled "ue" on my birth certificate since that's the conventional substitute when umlauted vowels are not available on the keyboard. My parents must have chosen that damned name during a particularly jolly cocktail hour.
My job requires me to be a juggler, but that does not mean that I enjoy working with clowns.

One for the Table
August 1, 2013
By Lisa McRee for Oneforthetable.com
There is no place I'd rather be in the summer than the breathtaking coast of Maine, and nothing I'd rather eat, any time of year, than Maine lobster.
If you can't get to Maine, here's a way to experience the region's magical flavors (and this year's record setting lobster harvest) in a healthy and delicious way: Skinny Lobster Salad.
Unlike the salads and rolls you'll find at the lobster stands that dot the roadsides of Maine, this one has no mayonnaise, which lets the natural flavor of the sweet lobster come through and drastically cuts the calories and fat.
(On its own, lobster is a fairly low-calorie and nutrition-dense food, with just 145 calories, less than a gram of fat and 29 grams of protein per cup of cooked meat. Mayo? About 900 calories and 80 grams of fat per cup!)
By adding chopped celery, green onions, green peas, lemon zest and fresh herbs, this lobster salad also has more fiber, color and texture, making it not only healthier but also much more beautiful and flavorful than any lobster salad you've had before.
So whether you're in Maine this season or just want to pretend that you are, enjoy this easy and delicious dish. Once you've had it, you'll never wait in line at a roadside stand again!
Skinny Lobster Salad
This recipe yields almost 6 cups of lobster salad and each cup has about 150 calories.
4 cups cooked lobster meat, chopped (see note)
3/4 cup celery, chopped fine
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped fine
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped fine
Juice and zest of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons good olive oil
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed in salted water and patted dry (see note)
Salt and white pepper to taste
Mixed greens, or sliced tomatoes, cucumber and avocado (optional)
Mix together the chopped lobster, celery, onions, herbs, lemon zest and lemon juice, and olive oil. Gently fold in peas and add salt and pepper to taste.
To make a 300 calorie lunch or supper, mound two cups of the lobster salad on a pile of mixed greens with some sliced tomatoes and cucumbers on the side.
You can also add 2-3 slices of avocado. Yes, it's another 50 calories, but because avocados have heart-healthy fat, great taste and a rich texture, it's worth it.
--If you're in New England, many markets that sell lobsters will steam them for you. To get 4 cups of lobster meat, I ordered 6 "soft shell" lobsters (which you can crack open with your hands) that were 1 1/4 pound each and cost about $6 dollars apiece. Hard shell lobsters will cost about 2 dollars more per pound, and they take a little more work to crack. However, they do have more meat inside so you'll probably need only 4 or 5.
--The easiest way to thaw the peas without overcooking them is to put them in a microwave-safe bowl with salted water and cook on high for 2-3 minutes. Drain and pat dry before adding to the salad.)

The Carolina Panthers know what sort of football team they have. They boast the longest current winning streak in the NFL at eight games and they rank No. 1 in scoring defense.
But the Panthers must now answer the same question as a typical French Quarter tourist: Can they handle a New Orleans poboy sandwich?
The Panthers play at New Orleans Sunday night in a matchup so enticing it got switched to prime time. Then they host the Saints in Charlotte on Dec. 22. Like the poboy itself a New Orleans concoction with French bread on both sides and fried seafood often spilling out this is a delicious NFL scheduling rarity.
The two best teams in the NFC South will decide the division title in a three-week span. A third matchup in January in the playoffs is also possible.
The Saints look to have the advantage in most of the tiebreaker scenarios, which means the Panthers likely would need to sweep New Orleans in December to win the NFC South and host at least one playoff game in Charlotte in January.
Of those two games against the Saints, the one in New Orleans will be the most difficult test because the Superdome is legendarily loud.
We dont have to do anything revolutionary, Panthers tight end Greg Olsen said. We know who we are. We dont have to redefine that. We just have to do the recipe that weve been doing.
That recipe is built on the ingredients of great defense, a balanced offense and a dual-threat quarterback in Cam Newton who is good for a couple of jaw-dropping plays per game.
Were ready, Panthers cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said after Carolina whipped Tampa Bay, 27-6, Sunday to move to 9-3 after a 1-3 start. Its on a big stage, man, and weve played well on a big stage before. If we get this win, it gives us the upper hand.
I dont know what the numbers say, but to me New Orleans is 10 points better at home compared to on the road. Their offense is speed-based and faster on turf. And then theres the noise even in bad years, Saints games often sound like they are played inside a pair of clanging cymbals.
I have covered games in all 16 NFC cities, and the crowds in New Orleans and Seattle are louder than anywhere else in the conference. Its no coincidence that if the playoffs began today, those two teams would grab the two NFC playoff byes.
Is New Orleans truly the loudest crowd in the NFL? I asked Panthers offensive tackle Jordan Gross.
Once you get to the ridiculously loud category, Im not sure it matters, Gross said. And its ridiculously loud in New Orleans.
Its also familiar. The Panthers play at New Orleans every year and beat the Saints 44-38 in the 2012 season finale in the Superdome.
Weve gone to that place a lot, center Ryan Kalil said. We already know the songs were going to hear over and over again, so much that they get stuck in your head. But I think those kinds of things are good for us, having that experience already.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera planned to watch every second of Monday nights Seattle-New Orleans game. And he wasnt too proud to say he would listen to TV analyst Jon Gruden to see if he could pick up any tips on the Saints.
Rivera said the first game of this two-game series was particularly important because you want to set the tone and tempo for when you play them a second time.
And, the coach continued: Really the thing you have to be careful of, too, is that after that first game going into the second one, you dont want to sit there and out-think yourself.
As for Panthers fans, they are just happy to have something to think about. There will be all sorts of playoff scenarios over the next few weeks.
But the bottom line for the Panthers playoff seeding will be how well they can digest the monster sandwich about to appear on their plate.

SimEvents provides a discrete-event simulation engine that manages and processes sequences of asynchronous events. These events can help model mode changes and trigger state transitions within time-based systems in Simulink.
With SimEvents you can create entities to represent discrete items of interest, such as packets in a communication system or airplanes in an airport taxiway. The generation, movement, and processing of entities in the system causes events, such as the arrival of a packet or the departure of an airplane. In turn, these events modify the states in the system to affect system behavior. You can characterize your entity with attributes, such as a destination address, processing time, or server delay. SimEvents distinguishes between entity lines, which represent entity movement between blocks, and event-signal lines, which denote corresponding event-based computations, via unique port styles.
Production Simulation Software for Manufacturing
Identify bottlenecks in a production process and identify optimized inventory and logistics management techniques.
SimEvents lets you integrate event-based modeling into time-based Simulink models by using blocks from the Gateway library. The Timed-to-Event Signal block converts time-based signals to event-based signals; conversely, the Event-to-Timed Signal block converts events back to time-based signals. Using this bidirectional conversion, you can model discrete mode-switching in time-based components as well as communication between time-based components.
You can operate directly on event-based signals using Simulink and Stateflow® library blocks, including Math Operations, MATLAB Function, Stateflow Charts, and Logical Operator. You can also encapsulate any Simulink calculation that needs to operate on an event-based signal using the Atomic Subsystem block.

Here I will be analyzing Rick Nash's pre-NHL career to help show why he is an enigma/under-achiever.
Yes, he scores goals. But even with his constant 30+ goal seasons, he never had that one huge goal scoring year, even if he seems to have all the skills for it. He also never put up great point totals. In nine seasons, he has only broken 70 points in a season once. So the question is could have you predicted this when he was drafted. I think so.
Much like Martin St. Louis (In my St. Louis analysis: http://www.fantasyhockeycoach.com/sh...g-to-be-a-star), he destroyed his AAA league with a stunning 61 goals and 115 points in 34 games. So far so good.
He put up great goal and point totals as a 17 year old in his first season in the OHL. Then, as an 18 year old, he stagnated as he managed basically the same goal and point totals as the year before, which is his first missed milestone and bad sign. Nash really should have seen his goal totals push past 40 goals and his point totals reach around 100 if things were going well.
In addition, for a guy who was being touted as the number 1 overall pick, he had a weak World Junior Under 20 Tournament. He only registered a measly 1 goal (for a renowned goal scorer, this is bad) and three points in seven games. He should have been one of the dominant players in the tournament if he really was an elite player who was going to go on to great things in the NHL.
To me, all this suggests that he has talent, but that he has consistency issues that will hinder him at the NHL level.
