Jerry Gergich's oft-referenced-yet-never-seen wife, Gayle, will finally be revealed. And the lucky lady who helped create (along with Jerry) the lovely Millicent Gergich? Why that would be Christie Brinkley, natch!
That's right, according to EW, office scapegoat Jerry has one smokin' hot wife (perhaps thanks to his incredibly large ... asset that we learned about last season) and she's going to be showing up in Pawnee for all to see. Brinkley will appear in the 5th episode of the season""Ron and Diane""alongside returning ex-wife of Ron Swanson, Tammy 2, aka Megan Mullally. I think it's time to do a slow clap for our man Jerry.
Are you excited for Brinkley's appearance on Parks and Recreation? Let us know in the comments!

"Marketing has a lot to learn from this book"
Valuable insight into why somethings take off and others possibly flop. Not sure if "The Tipping Point" is the answer or one of the contributors to why things happen. My experience is that everything is connected to each other in various degrees, but this book sure puts a good case for the authors theories. A little confusing in parts, but the authors voice is easy to listen to. A valuable book for marketing type people. Worth the listen to.
"Excellent lecture with good points"
Christopher Vogler breaks down his craft into easy to understand points and elaborates on them without causing any confusion or lack of fun. He is good and if you want to tell a story, then this lecture is worth listening to. My copy had a slight audio problem but the points got across nicely.
"A Good History Book"
This book tells the story of the British Army Camouflage Unit in the North African Campaign of the Second World War (1940-43). Surprising it is quite a page turner and does have great detail without being bogged down. If you are interested in the Second World War then this is a must, but if your thing is the North African Campaign with the 8th Army, Deutsch Africa Corps and lets not forget the Italians, then you need this book. Everybody gets a mention, South African Engineers, Australian Desert Rats, British HQ in Cairo or Rommel's adjutant. A good book worth the listen too.
"Interesting Essay"
Not knowing much about law, this book was one of my attempts to dive into the subject. My thinking is that it is an anti-socialist political commentary. The points are put forward well and I think anyone interested in politics should listen to this but read other books to get a well rounded view. All part of my plan.
"Heavy going"
Now I know why lawyers get paid so much. This stuff is dry and hard to plough through. My plan is to keep listening to these law books so it might rub off on me. I understood little of this book and found my head swimming in a swamp of history and basic law terms. I will come back to this book for a second reading once I get other books under my belt. Robert Morris is a rather boring narrator but the subject matter isn't easy.
"Life can be a bottle of wine, good or bad"
The use of accents are now becoming a little cliché. Michael Kitchen is his usual high standard and the author Michael Dibdin has really developed into a enjoyable writer. Pity he has died. The story is interesting and moves along nicely. There is no real confusion with characters or plot and watching Zen do his job even with the ills that hit him out of the dark so to speak is wonderful, although he does seem to be resting on his Loral's. I guess he is coming to the end of his career and now knows the score so why upset the system. Never the less he does an adequate job and learns a little about truffles and wine in this case. This book will not make you an expert in these subjects but perhaps appreciate them a little more, and the reason not to keep rats as pets.
Richard Armitage is the best. I nice take on the tale. Worth every cent and every minute listening to it. Do yourself a favour and get this novel.
"An Excellent History of the Samurai"
Well told and superbly narrated this book is an excellent overview of the Samurai. From the start to present day we see the history, the development, and finally the demise. The book shows how the idea of Samurai was used and abused in the 20th Century for political, social and media goals. Jonathan Clements has opinions and views but generally the book covers the topic in a level handed way to make the reader (listener) feel it is balanced and objective. Just over 12 hours long, it is a brief view of the Samurai which if this subject interest you, you'll fly through and find fascinating.
Loved the book and the narrator is excellent.
Other books in the series cover these stories in this book. Jordan Gaither American accent is all wrong. Don't listen to this book.
"Not the best telling of the story of Ned Kelly"
First of all I don't like this authors (Peter FitzSimons) style of writing or history. Second, the narrator Richard Aspel is dreadful. Thirdly, there are better books than this one on the telling of the Ned Kelly Gang incidents.
Peter FitzSimons isn't a very good historian, but he does try. He tends to take a side and skew the telling. Don't get me wrong, he can write and his newspaper column is one of my favourite Sunday readings, but his telling of history is not good. He tells a story, that some might like to listen or read but not me.
Richard Aspel seems to make every sentence a drama filled statement, even when it isn't. I don't think he could read a dozen words without stopping which makes the continuity hard to listen to. By the end of the book, I just wanted the whole thing finished with. It was hard to get through this book, mainly due to his narration.
If the epilog had introduced the book, without the what happen to the characters after Edward Kelly departed us (spoiler alert) this book might have been forgivable, but it is too one sided, too 'the truth is in the telling' and too sensational.
I have listen and read some other of Peter FitzSimons books and as an author, he doesn't impress me, as a media personality, I like him, as a historian I am not happy with. This book was a personal quest for Mr FitzSimons who describes it as "a big boofy bearded guy writing about a big boofy bearded guy". (Not exact quote). If you like Mr FitzSimons story telling, then buy the book and read it and skip Richard Aspel narration. If you want to read better books on the history, then go to the back and see which books Mr FitzSimons has used for reference and research.
Not the best book on Ned Kelly
"The best of Pink's work thus far"
I have listen to Daniel Pink's books and find that they usually don't convince me of their arguments however this book is good. Not that he totally convinced me that it is human nature to sell, perhaps to trade, convince and work for each others benefits, but to sell, well to sell is to scam and this book didn't convince me other than that idea. To say that, not all sales people are scammers but lets face it, no trade is perfect, somebody pays.

The Public Service Commission of West Virginia
announced July 19 that it has denied a request from FirstEnergy to
dismiss its investigation into the meter reading, billing and customer service
practices of subsidiaries Mon Power and Potomac Edison.
Instead, the commission ordered First Energy to file specific
metrics detailing customer service provided by the companies.
The commission initiated the general investigation in June after
receiving numerous customer complaints.
The information sought by the commission includes the number and
the percentage of customers who have received two or more consecutive estimated
bills; current employment levels of meter readers; the number and types of
complaints received by FirstEnergy; the number and percentage of customer
complaints resolved on the first call to FirstEnergy; and the number of
customers placed on deferred payment plans.
The information requested by the commission is to begin with the
most recent billing cycle and is to be filed on a monthly basis for at least
one year.
The commission further ordered that it would hold public comment
hearings in the FirstEnergy service areas after it has received and reviewed
the first two monthly reports.
On initiating its investigation, the commission stressed that
the purpose of the general investigation was not to address individual customer
bills. Rather, the proceeding would focus on the practices, policies and
procedures in place at Mon Power and Potomac Edison and would evaluate the
strengths and weaknesses at a structural level.
In addition to the general investigation, commission Staff is
continuing to address individual customer complaints. Customers who
believe they have received inaccurate or excessive estimated bills are
encouraged to contact the company. Customers who are not satisfied with
the company's response should contact the commission's Consumer Affairs technicians
at 1-800-642-8544.
Power and Potomac Edison serve approximately 520,000 customers in 37 West
Virginia counties.
More information may be
obtained from the PSC website and
referencing case number 13-0830.

Top Belgian Catholic vows silence after uproar
Belgium's Roman Catholic leader has sworn off public remarks until Christmas after outraging public opinion twice this month with jarring comments about AIDS and a call for mercy for retired paedophile priests.
Brussels Archbishop André-Joseph Léonard, already under fire because of the scandal of sexual abuse of minors by priests, caused a storm two weeks ago when he said in a new book that AIDS was "a sort of inherent justice." Politicians, abuse victims and some leading lay Catholics rounded on him again this week after he said that prosecuting retired priests for abuse they committed long ago was "a kind of vengeance" that they should be spared.
(Photo: Archbishop André-Joseph Léonard, October 15, 2010/Thierry Roge)
"We're in a very serious crisis and the last thing we need is more commotion," Leonard's spokesman, Jürgen Mettepenningen, told Belgium's VTM television on Thursday evening. "I've agreed with Archbishop Léonard that there should now be as much radio silence as possible until Christmas" so that the Church can concentrate on overcoming the crisis and carrying out its main task of preaching the Gospel, he said.
Losing patience with the bishops, the lower house of parliament decided on Thursday to set up a special commission to investigate the abuse crisis. One deputy suggested changing tax laws to reduce a state subsidy the Church receives.
Senator Rik Torfs, a canon lawyer, suggested Catholics sign a petition for Pope Benedict to remove Leonard from his top job in Belgium by "promoting him to Rome." He said: "The archbishop doesn't speak in our name and we didn't want him."

The Mississippi Children's Museum celebrates its second birthday with several parties on Saturday.
Santa was also there handing out candy canes to kids.
A birthday party was held at the museum to celebrate its opening.
The theme was "Scooby Dooby Doo the Mississippi Children's Museum Turns Two."
Kids participated in a number of activities to solve a mystery.
Later a fancy holiday tea was held for mothers and daughters.
Museum officials say the facility has hosted nearly 500,000, showing families a passion for learning through play and discovery.
"We've had a family literacy program where all of the children who participated increased their reading readiness scores by 50% or more. We've seen lots of families here and we've inspired them to get healthy and active together. We've also had science, technology, engineering, and mathematics programs that are inspiring our next generation," said Mississippi Children's Museum Director of Development and Marketing Elaina Jackson.
The Mississippi Children's Museum opened in December 2010.

Editor's Notebook
Hawaii Business' growth over the past year hasn't been limited to our fast-growing circulation, which is now over 12,000 issues a month. We've been bulking up in-house, too. Leslie Light now serves as Associate Publisher and Sales Manager. In her publisher duties, Leslie is responsible for the day-to-day operations of this publication. She also oversees our sales team, which has been doing extremely well this fall.
I'm also happy to introduce Randal Ikeda, our new Chief Financial Officer. He serves in that capacity for our parent company, PacificBasin Communications, Inc. If you watch Hawaii's number one television news program, the KHON Channel 2 News with Joe Moore, you will have noticed our latest Hawaii Business effort. It is the "Hawaii Business Report" on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 p.m. with Joe Moore. Kelli Abe Trifonovitch, who had been the magazine's Managing Editor, does the reports. The move is a return to Kelli's TV roots. She was a regular on KGMB News and later public television during the late 1980s and into the 1990s.
Kelli's appointment to run our HBTV operation led to our most recent promotion. Former Senior Editor David K. Choo is now Managing Editor of Hawaii Business.
One of Dave's new responsibilities will be filling this column every month. While I will still serve as Editor and Publisher, Dave now runs our editorial operation on a day-to-day basis. Readers, I think, would be far better off hearing his views about that month's issue and the state of our business climate.
Finally, I invite all of you to head over to our relaunched Web site, www.hawaiibusiness.cc. Webmaster Dan Cameron is still rolling out new features to the site, which we expect will be the best Web site about business in Hawaii. And we'll have a big addition to the online efforts in a month or so. Stay tuned.

Suzanne Keller-Becker says she offered an old friend a place to stay to help her get back on her feet. It was only supposed to be for a few days. But then the friend's boyfriend, a convicted felon, showed up, and the pair refused to leave.
Keller-Becker says they started using terms like "established residency" and claimed the Tampa home was now their home, too. The boyfriend whipped out an identification card with Keller-Becker's address on it.
"It's like living in hell in your own home," Keller-Becker said.
She called Tampa Police but once they heard the couple's story, they called this a civil matter and said Keller-Becker would have to take the matter to court in order to evict the unwanted guests.
But since Keller-Becker is renting the home, she called her landlord. No good news there either. The landlord said she was now in violation of her lease for having extra people in her home. The landlord said he could evict the squatters, but he would also evict Keller-Becker, who lives in the home with her husband and 15-month-old baby, because of the cost to evict.
So she tried to co-exist with the squatters and convince them to leave.
The pair stashed a few blankets and pillows, a basket of clothes, and their cat on the porch. They slept on the floor. They ate the family's food - and worse. Keller-Becker says she tried various things to pressure the squatters out, including removing the toilet paper.But what did the squatters do? They started using the family's coffee filters.
"It has been crazy," Keller-Becker said. "I can't believe this can happen."
She was finally at the end of her rope. After nearly a month, she called 8 On Your Side.
When the female squatter, Erisan Seibert, came home last week, our cameras were there. She would say only she was not on the lease and her friend told her she could stay. When asked why she and boyfriend Kyle Cooke won't leave now that she's been asked to go, she ignored the question, grabbed her cat and left.
None of this is surprises Tampa real estate attorney Joseph Kalish.
"It's the way it is," he said. "If you don't enforce your rights, they're going to be able to stay."
The way the law is written, if you let someone stay in your home, and they claim to have established residency, the only way out is to file for eviction.
Kalish says the law will help, but it takes time. Homeowners, or tenants, can force out unwanted guests by filing a lawsuit called an "unlawful detainer." It's similar to an eviction but different because squatters don't have a lease. This court action would take at least 30 days, but probably longer.
In the meantime, you could be stuck with squatters. Kalish recommends being extra careful about who you allow inside your home. If they won't leave, police likely won't force them to go, especially if the guests are there longer than one week. Keller-Becker says police even told her that if she changed the locks, she could be forced to let her squatters back in.
This is the third high-profile squatter story reported by 8 On Your Side in recent months.
Often, law enforcement says their hands are tied because they must recognize verbal agreements. If it's unclear whether someone is supposed to be in a home, police often say it's a civil matter and let a judge figure it out.
Legislator Amanda Murphy represents Pasco County, where two of the squatters claimed residency. She says the law needs to be strengthened to prevent squatters from taking over.
"We've reached the point that something needs to be done," she said. "This is a very complicated issue, but we have to come up with new legislation to protect people. This could happen to anyone that tries to help someone by opening their home."
After questions from 8 On Your Side and a call to the boyfriend's probation officer, there was a change of heart. Keller-Becker says the pair showed up Sunday night, packed up and left.

Demi Lovato Admits She's 'a Brat' Because of Simon Cowell's Nagging
'X Factor' judge Demi Lovato has been through a lot, but if she's irritable these days it's because of one man: Simon Cowell.
"Simon's great, but he nags on me so much that I don't know if I can take it any longer," the 19-year-old said, according to Contact Music. Lovato and fellow pop star Britney Spears officially joined the cast of the hit singing competition series in May.
However, while Cowell can be pushy, Lovato knows how to handle his abrasive ways. "I'm a brat," she admitted. "I'm annoying. But I give it back to him."
As for her judging style, Lovato isn't exactly a pushover. The 'Skyscraper' singer insists she calls it like it is when it comes to performances. "It's really hard for me to smile if they're performing and they're horrible," she said. "'I have to be super super honest and sometimes I feel bad about it."
Meanwhile, Cowell's take on his new panel stars is that both Lovato and Spears are "catty" when it comes to female contestants. With auditions in full swing and the new season set to premiere this fall, it's clear that there's going to be plenty of drama with this crew.

Is college really as important as our society today has made it out to be?
I'm a freshman in high school. My guidance counselors and teachers basically say tell me if I don't go to college my life will be miserable. I want to live a simple life. I have figured it out. I know that may seem weird, but that is what I want. I want to live in a small apartment with not much in it and just enjoy the small things in life. Is college actually necessary to succeed at all in life?
Closing Statement from Colin Petre
Thanks alot for all the replies. It really helped me. I'm probably just going to figure everything out my junior year when it's time to make it.

Jun 6 2013: As a college student, I feel that there are pros and cons to getting a college education.College is great in the fact that it allows us to expand our knowledge, provides job connections to our chosen field, and we can gain and develop skills (organization, teamwork, time management, etc.) I guess what may be a con is the fact that more than half the stuff you learn might no be used later on in the future and you may not get enough practical experience. We need to recognize the fact that college isn't enough and we must educate ourselves from other sources so that we become more conscious of the issues and trends in our global community. We should always investigate whats being taught to us and question it in order to find the deeper truth.

When I talked to Georgia Tech interim defensive coordinator Charles Kelly in June for the "10 things" series (at that point he was still secondary coach), I asked him about his coaching aspirations. He said, not surprisingly, that he someday wanted to be a head coach.
However, moving up the ladder wasn't something he dwelt on.
"I believe this," he said. "I believe if you do as good a job at the job you have, people recognize it."
For better or worse, in the wake of the firing of defensive coordinator Al Groh, Kelly has been recognizedt The timing or circumstances aren't great, but Kelly, the lone assistant still on staff who preceded coach Paul Johnson, has his opportunity to show what he can do as the Jackets' interim replacement for Groh.
"It's a chance to move forward and see how we can do," Johnson said Monday, in response to a question about if the final six games of the regular season are an audition for defensive coaches. "I think that we can play better than we've played. So we'll see."
If Kelly can produce results, you'd have to think he'll be considered as the full-time replacement. Keeping him as coordinator would provide stability and give Johnson the security of a known commodity in the hire. Further, Kelly is known as an excellent recruiter. It's a long list, but defensive back Jemea Thomas and A-back Orwin Smith are two players Kelly has helped bring to campus.
Finding bright spots on the defense this season isn't easy, but the secondary has been one of the team's better units over the past few seasons. Cornerbacks Rod Sweeting, Louis Young and Thomas were among the top players on the defense last season.
At Tech, he's had a hand in getting Mario Butler, Jahi Word-Daniels and Jerrard Tarrant into NFL camps. (Butler made the Dallas Cowboys practice squad as an unsigned free agent and then made the active roster last December. He played in one game this season and is now back on the practice squad.)
Tech was second in the ACC in pass defense last season at 197.6 yards per game, although the Jackets were seventh in defensive pass efficiency. (I recognize that pass defense isn't solely the responsibility of the secondary, and sussing out where the pass rush's impact ends and the secondary's coverage ability begins is not a black and white matter.)
Tech had one interception for every 27.5 passes last year – the secondary had 10 of the 14 interceptions – which was fourth in the ACC.
Prior to coming to Tech, he was at Nicholls State, an FCS school, from 2002 to 2005. He was defensive coordinator the last two seasons. For whatever it's worth, Nicholls State was second in the Southland Conference in scoring defense and first in total defense in 2005. The team was third in third-down conversion percentage, 37.6 percent.
The Colonels were third in scoring defense and second in total defense in 2004. They were sixth (last) in third-down percentage (42.2 percent).
He and the rest of the coaching staff have a pretty big job this week, not only addressing mistakes that have tripped up the defense, but also trying to steer players distracted and upset by Groh's firing in the same direction.
Personally speaking, I've found him to be earnest and hard-working. It's also very obvious that he cares a lot about his players, and I've gotten the sense that the feeling is mutual. Those qualities should help him in his efforts to bring the defense together.
It's not often that career turning points arrive on a schedule. Time will tell if that's what this is for Kelly, 45. The son of a high school football coach, Kelly grew up in Alabama and knew from a young age that he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps. It's one reason why he walked on at Auburn, for the chance to play for Pat Dye. Kelly was struck by Dye's work ethic, a lesson he no doubt is summoning this week.
"You've just got to persevere," Kelly said. "There's going to be some tough times, but you've just got to be level and get through them."

On a lighter note, has anybody seen superDawg on the blogs this week? He said he would come tailgate with us if USC beat UGA, and I need to find out if he's going to live up to his end of the bargain, so I will have time to try to buy a crow for yeller bug to cook for him next week. LOL
October 9th, 2012
5:51 pm
I hope Kelly does well. I would love to see Tech really change their coarse starting with BC next Saturday and continue through the rest of the season.
I don't think Kelly will get the job unless the defense is night and day different from what Groh did and what Kelly does. Needs to start with tackling and 3rd down defense though. Not opposed to Kelly but if he gets the job the defense needs to be turned around and making huge plays the rest of the way. I'm talking like winning games where the other teams score just 14 or less points.
Go Jackets!
October 9th, 2012
5:58 pm
Sink or swim time for 2012 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
With the cancer removed, we'll start a winning streak.
The MTSU disaster was due to a team demoralized by their D coordinator's getting out-coached in the 4th qt again and again.
CPJ's contract and support from the AD buy him some time.
O'Leary did not hire Freigen until he tired of mediocrity.
Or was the move forced on him like now?
3 D coordinator strikes and you're out.
October 9th, 2012
6:00 pm
Good one.
Dawg trolls a bit downbeat from their beatdown I think.
October 9th, 2012
6:03 pm
I just ran about 4 miles.
I'm starting to feel better about the season with Groh gone.
Endorphins or a realistic view of a defense about to finally be turned loose?
Maybe both.
October 9th, 2012

@ JD…..ya think? LOL

October 9th, 2012
6:05 pm
The irony of all the defense's coaches problems is that teams put their best "athletes" on the defensive side of the ball!
October 9th, 2012
6:07 pm
…but the schedule just go infinitely easier the rest of the way so we will not be able to tell whether it is coaching or scheduling IF the team improves on the D side of the ball…

He seems to be a real nice guy and I hope he can get the guys to stay focused and get to laying good.

October 9th, 2012
6:33 pm
Richt reminds me of Lucy.
Their fans get all excited by the high rankings of their recruiting classes just to wind up on their backs when Richt gets outcoached.
It's really a lot crueler than anything I could do to dawg fans.
And to add insult to injury, Richt gets to be a multi multi millionaire without delivering the BSC NC his pay level requires.
All Adams cares about is for Richt not to embarrass him.
October 9th, 2012
6:43 pm
as long as the AD dosnt give him a $2mil yr raise and extended contract too, we're good.
October 9th, 2012
6:45 pm
The defense needs to get a bit unpredictable – back side blitzes on 1st or 2nd can yield big plays but can also result in fumbles and knock the stuffing out of opposing QB's, rattling them for the game. I liked Groh but the Defense was looking more and more lost as the season went on. CPJ gave him as much time as possible but the MTSU game was it. Couldn't let him go right before Clemson, but with the bye week and BC coming up, it was the right time. Not sure why others are questioning the timing.
I like going with Kelly , he has been one of our stronger recruiters. We'll see how the D responds.
October 9th, 2012
6:52 pm
Just a thought. Frank Beamer was 22-32-1 ater his first 5 seasons at VT. Then went 2-8-1 in his sixth season. How many haed coaches would survive that today. But beginning with his 7th season his teams have won 9, 10, 0r 11 games a year till this year. Seems like if we give PJ another year or so, we might be building a solid program that might surprise us over then next 10 years or so. Just thinking …….

Good point.
Was Beamer that bad his first 6 years?
October 9th, 2012

…Beamer wasn't making $2-$3mil back then, either – different world, different expectations, usually…

Ken, thank you for you balanced reportage. For those of us seeking information, it is always nice to get facts and then options–not what you would have done–just what the options might be going forward. I don't really care what other people think about what happened. Just let me know what happened and let me make up my own mind.
October 9th, 2012
7:36 pm
Good luck Coach Kelly. Now can we please fire those chicken wire uniforms? Gold helmets, Gold, White, or the Navy Blue Jerseys. No more chicken wire patterns. No, it does not make you think of a yellow jackets nest.
October 9th, 2012
7:46 pm
throw away the brown pants and get gold pants and start looking and playing like Tech
October 9th, 2012
8:08 pm
Can Johnson just admit that his pride, which kept him from keeping the defensive coordinator before Groh, is what has damaged the team the most these past few years. Where is he coaching these days and what would it take to get him back and let Paul run the O only?
October 9th, 2012
8:24 pm
Good luck to Kelly. Anything less than 3-3 over the last six would be even more of a disaster. Gotta have BC, Md and Duke. Of course beat the Dwags and DRad might just give Johnson another raise and contract extension.
October 9th, 2012
8:35 pm
I hope they use the 4-3 a lot more. Turn one of the linebackers loose every other play and just disrupt everything. Sometimes use a 3-4 and just before the snap use a 5-2-4 to rush the QB/RB. The DB's can hold there own, just cant do it all day while the QB just sits there.
October 9th, 2012
9:12 pm
Good Luck to Al Groh. He is a upstanding and high character person.
Good luck to Charles Kelly……….I sincerely hope he has so much success that GT decides to hire him as the permanent DC!! I hope he decides to play an aggressive style with a lot of blitz packages (I personally like this approach as a fan) OR if I am completely wrong: whatever scheme works best based on the players we have on the team…………….my guess is he knows the best approach.
Players (current & future) should love playing for this Coach Kelly!
October 9th, 2012
9:23 pm
Ken….thank you for the insight that you have shared with us, your readers and GT fans – this was one of your best articles that I remember reading…you have given me some hope (in Coach Kelly) and fired me up…

Ken, one of the best things to ever happen to Georgia Tech is having you as our reporter. You do a really great job of being personal, intuitive and focusing on things that really matter. I just want you to know I and many other Georgia Tech fans how much we appreciate your work. Your reporting is reminiscent of Furman Bisher. Thank You.
October 9th, 2012
9:46 pm
Charles Kelly for President!
…sorry, got a little carried away there. Thanks for the background on Coach Kelly, Ken. Interesting that he's already been a D-coordinator.
All this 3-4 diatribe is overblown. Most 3-4 teams run with 4 on the line at least 35% of the time. Last night, Wade Philips showed 5-2 against the Jets all night long. Granted he has some amazing talent in Houston.
October 9th, 2012
9:50 pm
Ditto Lexjacket, Ken. It's great to get consistent and thoughtful updates on Tech topics, something we have not always had in the past. As for Coach Kelly, I hope he is able to get some of our obviously talented players on defense to play up to or above their potential. If he does, he would have to be given some consideration for the permanent DC job. It is my personal opinion that we need a proven coordinator for the job, but if Kelly can dramatically turn around the defense and the fortunes of this team, that may be proof enough.
October 9th, 2012
9:52 pm
3-4, 4-3, Tampa 2, 5 in the box……actually the only numbers I am interested in is turning our 2-4 season into an 8-4 or at least 7-5 season.
October 9th, 2012
10:01 pm
@FMJ, that sounds like wishful thinking my friend. Hopefully we beat BC and start getting back on track but at this point, I'm wishing more for an upset of the Dwags more than any other salvation of the season.
October 9th, 2012
10:02 pm
BC is a great opponent for the defense to get well against. FSU will probably soften them up a little bit this week, and even though BC did have to prepare for Army's option earlier this season, the offense should be able to score on them handily. Coach Kelly, best of luck and I hope you can make the most of your opportunity….for your sake and ours! Go Jackets!
October 9th, 2012
10:07 pm
JimmyB, are you talking about Dave Wommack? Because he wasn't very good. Only marginally better than Groh. CPJ should have retained Tenuta when he first got here.
October 9th, 2012
10:07 pm
I admit that even 7-5 is atypically optimistic for me. I'm half hoping/half guessing that if Kelly turns the D around we can squeeze wins out of BC, the Terps, the Heels, and even the resurgent Dukies. I've seen BYU several times this season on TV and they look really inconsistent but their big lines will give us trouble. Of course, I am ever hopeful for a win in Athens, and depending on the way they respond to the Chicken-Whipping they got last week an upset might not be out of the question…..though it would still be a HUGE upset, as they outmatch us at virtually every position.

Busted play, I read fire not hire.
October 9th, 2012
10:11 pm
Tenuta had a chance to stay on with CPJ as I recall, but he didn't take it after not getting the HC job himself. (I certainly don't blame him.) Knowing CPJ and most head coaches, it might not have been a good move to keep on the DC anyway….too much of a potential professional rival/successor if things go badly. Tenuta did not do very well at Notre Dame but seems to be doing well at NC State so far as a position coach. He might not have the temperament for an HC position.
October 9th, 2012
10:13 pm
Wade Phillips' father invented that version of the 3-4. That 1-gap is the version that Georgia has run with some success under Grantham. Not so much in their "year 3," though. Somehow they've managed to make an All-American linebacker disappear.
October 9th, 2012
10:18 pm
Wommack was a sound coach, and is currently HC at Arkansas State, I think. He was certainly competent but I don't blame CPJ for trying to do better. I am one of those who thinks CPJ might be a better OC than HC, but I can't blame him for firing either Wommack or Groh if their defenses aren't living up to his expectations. (They certainly haven't been living up to our expectations either.) It is true that as HC, CPJ had better make the right move this time. Another 2-3 years of mediocre defense (and thus, less than spectacular records) will definitely put him on the hot seat. Make a good hire, Coach Johnson, and beat UGA!!!!!
October 9th, 2012
10:20 pm
FMJ, I'm hoping that both Tenuta and CPJ have both had enough humble pie at this point to be able to come together. I'd love to get that defense back.
October 9th, 2012
10:23 pm
Tenuta…………..is not ever coming to TECH and was not going to stay when he didn't get the HC job.
October 9th, 2012
10:25 pm
Tenuta…. will be a coach at Tech as soon as Friedgen is hired as a QB coach at UGa.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Biologists are trying to save a threatened trout species in southwestern New Mexico, even as crews around the West struggle to contain blazes that have charred hundreds of square miles of forested countryside.
The concern is that after the fires, summer rains could choke waterways with ash, soil and charred debris. A team is using electroshocking devices to temporarily stun the Gila (HEE'-luh) trout. The fish are then scooped up and ferried to a hatchery in northern New Mexico for safe keeping.
The fish wranglers are focusing on small creeks deep within the perimeter of the Whitewater-Baldy fire. The blaze has charred more than 450 square miles of the forest. It's the largest in New Mexico's history and is 63 percent contained.
Crews are also battling fires in Arizona, Alaska, Washington and Colorado. So far this year, fires have scorched more than 1 million acres across the county.
Nearly 1,400 firefighters are working the 84-square-mile High Park Fire near Fort Collins, Colo. Officials there say at least 112 homes have been damaged or destroyed already and the number is expected to grow.

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The wine has a nice dark, garnet Cabernet color. In the glass, the nose is primarily rich aromas of black cherry currant and menthol. It is very much fruit-dominated, and for the first few years its jammy Cabernet-berry and menthol characteristics will predominate - after which the soil's contribution and winemaking, with the hints of new wood will begin to emerge. On entry it delivers a broad mouthful of fruit with cherry and cassis, plus relatively pronounced Cabernet tannins typical, at this young stage, of a fast-ripening crop. Vintages like 2004 do tend to concentrate the juice so every flavor element comes across stronger. Think of this wine as I do, as a good "old school" example of our Napa Valley Cabernet.
Chateau Montelena was founded in 1882 by Alfred Tubbs. The renaissance of the winery, under the leadership of James Barrett, began in 1972 with the replanting of the Estate vineyard and the establishment of the Chateau Montelena philosophy: make the best, period. Today the tradition continues. Jim Barrett's son, Bo, winemaker at Chateau Montelena beginning in 1982, is now its Master Winemaker. After more than three decades of experience with the same vineyards and varieties, the Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and Napa Valley Chardonnay are recognized as world-class.
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right.

MCLA Presents! Word Becomes Flesh
Word Becomes Flesh
Co-presented with Williams College and MCLA's "Creating Equality" Series
Saturday, October 5th, 7:30pm
6pm pre-performance discussion: Trayvon, Race and being a Black Man in America
A series of performed lettrs to an unborn son, Word Becomes Flesh, uses spoken word, dance, and live music to document nine months of pregnanacy from a young single father's perspective.
Performed by an exceptionally talented cast of poet-performers, Word Becomes Flesh fuses tender stories, playful wit, and at tmes, purposeful rage to give voice to complextities and contradictions surrounding race and gender in America.
With deep honesty and raw physicality, the play integrates hip-hop and contemporary dance to deconstruct black male identity in the 21st century. Word Becomes Flesh lyrically and choreographically shares one man's experience of fatherhood, and in doing so examies the legacy of patriarchy and male privilege and the continuum between fathers and sons. Together these narratives confront the interscetion between the reality and the mythology of the black male body - from the cotton field to the athletic field and all spaces in between.
Admission: $10 general admission, members & MCLA students free, MCLA alumni $8, MCLA staff & faculty $5

Dow earnings preview: Intel, GE, Verizon
American Express, IBM and United Health are also reporting mid-week.
The market pushed against my monthly risky levels on Thursday in reaction to dovish comments from Fed Chief Ben Bernanke. These levels are now considered pivots, at 15,437 for the Dow ($INDU) industrials, 1669 for the S&P 500 ($INX) and 1030.75 for the Russell 2000. Wednesday's close was above my monthly pivot at 3510 for the Nasdaq ($COMPX). The risky level is 6758 for the Dow Transports.
The technical signal confirming a cycle high for the major averages would be simultaneous weekly closes below the five-week modified moving averages and that hasn't happened yet this year. The five-week MMAs are currently well below market levels at 15,007 for the Dow industrials, 1617.5 for the S&P 500, 3413 for the Nasdaq, 6252 for the Dow transports and 978.57 for the Russell 2000. Closes below these levels today appear highly unlikely.
My quarterly value levels are 14,288 Dow industrials, 1525.6 S&P 500, 3284 Nasdaq, 5348 Dow transports and 863.05 on the Russell 2000 with July's pivots and risky level at 15,437 Dow Industrials, 1669.0 S&P 500, 3510 Nasdaq, 6758 Dow transports and 1030.75 Russell 2000. Three of the major averages are still below their May 20/May 22 highs at 15,542.40 Dow Industrials, 1687.18 S&P 500 and 6568.41 Dow transports. The Nasdaq set a new multi-year high at 3579.29 on July 11 with the Russell 2000 setting a new all time high at 1033.34.
Weekly closes above all of the monthly levels indicate potential strength to my semiannual risky levels at 16,490 Dow industrials, 1743.5 S&P 500, 3759 Nasdaq, 7104 Dow transports and 1089.42 Russell 2000. Weekly closes below the quarterly value levels indicate risk to my annual value levels at 12,696 Dow industrials, 1348.3 S&P 500, 2806 Nasdaq and 809.54 Russell 2000.
Fundamentally, stocks remain under a ValuEngine valuation warning with 75% of all stocks overvalued and with 40.6% of all stocks overvalued by 20% or more.
Next week 10 Dow components are on the earnings calendar. Yesterday I profiled Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Coca Cola (KO) in my post on TheStreet, Earnings Scorecard: Yum, Yahoo! On Deck.

Justice Kagan--Giving Liberals a Rhetorical LiftBy Joan Biskupic, Reuters
During three days of arguments over the Obama healthcare plan, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan put on a display of rhetorical firepower, reinforcing predictions that the newest liberal justice is best equipped to take on the conservative, five-man majority controlling the bench.

Under Pressure, Santorum Huddles with ConservativesBy Sam Youngman and Alistair Bell, Reuters
Tumbling in the polls and under increasing pressure to abandon his White House campaign, Republican Rick Santorum huddled with conservative leaders and aides on Thursday to plot strategy. Among the options on the table: a plan that would involve Newt Gingrich dropping out of the Republican race and backing Santorum in a late effort to unite conservatives and prevent Mitt Romney from clinching the party's presidential nomination.

Romney Sharpens his Attack, says Obama is Running a 'Hide-and-Seek Campaign'By Karen Tumulty, Washington Post
Mitt Romney took a sharper line of attack against President Obama on Wednesday, accusing the Democratic incumbent of waging a "hide-and-seek campaign" that disguises his intentions and offers no solutions for the country's most intransigent economic problems.

Court's Potential to Goad Voters Swings to DemocratsBy Jackie Calmes, New York Times
For decades, Republicans have railed every four years against the Supreme Court and its perceived liberal activism to spur conservatives to elect presidents who will appoint like-minded justices. Now strategists in both parties are suggesting this could be the Democrats' year to make the court a foil to mobilize voters.

Details Emerge on Coming U.S. Offensive in Eastern AfghanistanBy Yochi J. Dreazen, National Journal
A campaign that will likely be the last major U.S. offensive of the Afghan War is set to begin later this year in eastern Afghanistan, the region where the conflict began and where senior NATO officials hope their involvement will effectively come to an end. U.S. officials in Kabul and Washington have provided National Journal an array of details about the coming push, which represents a high-stakes -- and politically complicated -- attempt to better secure Kabul as well as Afghanistan's porous border with Pakistan before the American exit from the country accelerates.

Romney's Health Care Scare AvertedBy Beth Reinhard, National Journal
Mitt Romney's trio of victories Tuesday could mark the moment when he vanquished one of the biggest ghosts haunting his primary campaign: Romneycare. The homestretch before Tuesday's vote coincided with the highly publicized Supreme Court hearings over President Obama's health care overhaul, offering Romney's opponents the perfect opportunity to bash him over the comparable plan he championed as governor of Massachusetts.

After a Rollicking Primary, a Different Kind of Fight in NovemberBy John Harwood, New York Times
If anything is stable in this presidential race, it is the idea that 2012 is a volatile campaign year. In part that reflects the last two elections, when Democrats and Republicans in turn won big victories, and the expectation that November represents a tiebreaker. Even more, it reflects a roller coaster Republican primary campaign, which at different moments has elevated Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney.

Obama Resets Campaign Debate, But Not to JobsBy Jim Tankersley, National Journal
Any day now, someone is going to grab the wheel of the 2012 presidential election and yank it toward the issue that American voters overwhelmingly worry about: jobs. There are still 13 million Americans looking for work; the average time someone spends unemployed has soared to nearly 10 months. So the candidates can't keep fighting over gas prices, contraception, and the specter of some ambiguously far-off debt crisis – can they?

Judge Pokes Obama Over Court CommentBy Laura Meckler, Wall Street Journal
It seems President Barack Obama's challenge to the Supreme Court–in which he said overturning his health-care law would amount to an "unprecedented, extraordinary step"–is not going over well in certain conservative judicial quarters. On Tuesday, a three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ordered the Justice Department to explain whether courts indeed have the right to strike down a federal law.

Though Time is on the Clock, the Game is OverBy John Dickerson, CBS News/Slate
As a young football fan, I learned that my team was doomed once the television announcers started to thank the producers, directors, and cameramen. They could interrupt the play-by-play because nothing was likely to happen on the field to spark the magical comeback I was hoping for. The opposing quarterback, untroubled by madness or sorcery, would take a knee, and the clock would run out.

Mitt Romney Wins Wisconsin, Maryland, D.C. PrimariesBy Dan Balz and Philip Rucker, Washington Post
Mitt Romney captured presidential primaries in Maryland, the District and battleground Wisconsin, the biggest prize of the day, to complete a momentum-building, three-contest sweep Tuesday that cemented his status as the almost certain Republican nominee and put new pressure on rival Rick Santorum to reassess his candidacy.

Cost-Per-Delegate Madness: Paul Spent $496,000By Major Garrett, National Journal
In honor of budget week and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., endorsing GOP front-runner Mitt Romney, I decided to run some numbers. Not budget numbers, everyone has done that this week. These are numbers on what's been spent for the two most important commodities in a nominating contest: votes and delegates. And if Supreme Court justices can be cheeky and snarky in oral arguments, why can't I be a bit cheeky at this stage of the GOP primary?

Obama: Supreme Court Will Uphold Health LawBy Alexis Simendinger, RealClearPolitics
If the Supreme Court rejects all or part of the 2010 health reform law, the majority of justices will have heeded their political analyses and not their interpretations of the Constitution and legal precedent, President Obama suggested Monday. Five times the president described himself as "confident" or "pretty confident" that the court will uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act this summer.

Santorum Defies Mounting Pressure to Bow OutBy Dan Balz, Washington Post
"I'm not talking about this anymore," Rick Santorum said here Sunday outside the Riverside Brewery and Restaurant before a gaggle of cameras and reporters. "We're just focused on doing well here in Wisconsin." What Santorum doesn't want to talk about is what so many others want to talk about, which is how long he will stay in the contest for the Republican presidential nomination. He is confronted by that question at almost every stop along the campaign trail and in every television interview he gives. He's tired of it.

Santorum Vows to Stay in RaceBy Philip Rucker and Dan Balz, Washington Post
Rick Santorum insisted Sunday that he would remain in the Republican presidential race for the long haul, defying mounting pressure from party elders to coalesce around front-runner Mitt Romney and focus on the fall contest against President Obama. Santorum vowed to stay in the race until it is clear that the former Massachusetts governor has secured the 1,144 delegates required for the nomination, something that is unlikely until just about the end of the primaries in June.

Obama Postpones Many Issues Until ElectionsBy Charles Babington, Associated Press
Missile defense isn't the only area in which President Barack Obama will have "more flexibility" if he's re-elected. Immigration, the Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline, gay marriage, tax policy and other issues could invite bold initiatives by a president who knows he will never run for office again, especially if his party gains ground in congressional elections.

Police: Man made false report
WICHITA FALLS - Wichita Falls Police were called to the 1500 block of 11th Street late Wednesday in reference to a man threatening another man with a rifle.
Vernon Dale Batt, 34, was arrested and charged with making a false report following the incident.
According to Joe Snyder, public information officer:
Police responded to the call at 11:18 p.m. when a man called police and told them there was another man in the attic with a rifle saying he was going to shoot him.
When officers arrived, they found the man who reported the incident on the roof of the building abandoned dry cleaners building. Officers created a perimeter around the area based on the information that someone was in the attic with a rifle.
Officers later discovered the man who reported the incident was the only one in the building. The Wichita Falls Fire Department was called to assist in getting the man off of the roof.
Snyder said it is believed that Batt intentionally made a false report, and he was arrested and taken to the Wichita County Jail.

Playoff Prospectus
NLDS Game One Recap: Dodgers 6, Braves 1
Teams that allow six runs to the Dodgers in a game started by Clayton Kershaw don't often live to tell the tale. Kershaw and his relievers have combined to give up seven or more runs only four times since July 2, 2011. Unfortunately for Atlanta, last night wasn't one of them.
The 25-year-old southpaw was a bit wilder last night than in his sharpest outings, but his merely adequate control didn't stand in the way of a dominant performance. Thus, when the Dodgers capitalized on a couple of defensive lapses by the Braves in the top of the second, the game was well on its way to being over.
Kris Medlen, who drew the task of dueling Kershaw for the home team, struck out the side in the first, offering a glimmer of hope that he might match the visitors' ace zero for zero. But Kershaw retired the Braves in order in the home half, and that hope was gone four batters later.
Adrian Gonzalez lined out to begin the next frame, but Yasiel Puig followed with a bouncer up the middle for a single. Puig, aggressive as ever on the basepaths, then went from first to third on a base hit by Juan Uribe, setting up Skip Schumaker with runners at the corners. The interim center fielder plated Puig with a sacrifice fly, on which Uribe advanced to second because Heyward missed the cut-off man, firing all the way home with virtually no chance to gun down the rookie. That put Uribe in scoring position for A.J. Ellis, who sent a looping fly ball toward the left-field line.
A rangier outfielder than Evan Gattis might have secured the catch to end the inning, but Gattis lunged and missed the ball, allowing Uribe to score on what was ruled a double. That proved to be the deciding tally in the 6-1 Dodgers win.

Compare the location of the pitch to A. Gonzalez as calculated by the broadcast to the one supplied by Brooks. That's the same pitch?

@canpredictball. That being said, he did make a nice play ranging deep into the left-center field gap later in the game (I think off the bat of Hanley Ramirez). That one shocked me.

Sounds like a good idea to me. New York City, of course, is already past the tipping point where most people don't depend that heavily on their cars (indeed, most don't own cars at all) so the possibilities for this sort of thing are fairly vast.

Right now I'm cozying up to fall. And I'm relishing it every step of the way.
I'm clearing the garden in anticipation of an imminent frost, hanging the Halloween ghosts from the oak trees in the front yard and craving simple, earthy flavors for dinner.
When it comes to simple and fall, I like to put a chunk of beef in the oven and let it braise, perfuming the house with its glorious smell. The smell that signals the change in season almost as much as the sound of bantering commentators and supercharged 'manly music' from Sunday's NFL football games that drift from the man cave to where I'm safely hiding in the kitchen.
Short Rib Fettucini is a favorite at our house, good for either weekend or weeknight, eat-it-now or leftovers later. Simple and fall.
I use a recipe from Giada de Laurentiis and will toss in a few mushrooms or switch up the pasta, like tonight I used fettucini rather than tagliatelle. And definitely round it out with some good sopping-up-the-sauce-utensils like my Killer Garlic Rolls.
To round out this stellar meal, enjoy my fantasy virtual dinner from some of favorite foodie's blogs.

By Jay Meisel and Dawn Krebs
PORT ST. LUCIE - The Port St. Lucie City Council voted unanimously to censure Mayor JoAnn Faiella because of controversial emails she wrote a year ago.
Even Mayor Faiella voted for her own censure, after saying she took responsibility for her actions and has learned from her mistake.
"I'm not blaming anybody," she said.
One of the emails, to community activist and Port St. Lucie resident Victoria Huggins, who lost a bid to become mayor in 2012, talked about setting up city attorney Roger Orr because of possible communications he had with former Mayor Patricia Christensen.
Ms. Huggins reported that someone at the Port St. Lucie Police Department hacked into her email account.
When contacted, Ms. Huggins didn't return calls.
The emails came to light at a July 9 council meeting, when Tony Valicenti, a Port St. Lucie resident, asked that they be read into the public record.
Mr. Valenti said he represented a Port St. Lucie Police captain who is currently suing Mayor Faiella for libel. Mr. Valenti didn't say in what capacity he represented Capt. Joseph D'Agostino.
The emails he read only stated Ms. Faiella's comments, and not the entire conversation between Ms. Huggins and Ms. Faiella. Another email referred to a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation and Capt. D'Agostino.
When contacted, Mr. Valicenti did not return phone calls.
The vote to censure the mayor came after a tumultuous meeting in which against the background sounds of cheers or jeers from the audience, some speakers called for the mayor to resign and others said the move to censure her was misplaced.
City Councilwoman Michelle Berger, who called for the censure because of the emails, said after the meeting the censure serves as a "public reprimand."
The council's other option was to seek removal of Mayor Faiella, but Councilwoman Berger said she felt the censure was the appropriate response in this case.
The censure sends a message that the city council doesn't condone the mayor's actions, she said.
While the censure doesn't carry any lasting penalties against Mayor Faiella, one resident said he was working on a recall petition to remove her from office.
Councilwoman Linda Bartz said the mayor's emails caused controversy in the community and that she took responsibility for the emails.
By approving the censure, the council was able to deal with the situation and allow the city to move forward, she said.
Councilman Jack Kelly noted Mayor Faiella apologized and indicated he feels she has learned from the situation. He also, said, however, that he felt since she admitted writing the emails, he had no choice but to support the censure.
But, some residents said they feel the mayor should resign.
"Madame Mayor, you should be ashamed of yourself," said Kurt Hoyer, a resident.
He urged her to go to Indian River State College and take some English classes because of the grammar in some of her emails.
"You have totally lost your effectiveness to the taxpayers," he said. "I think you should resign, and the sooner, the better."
But Steven Carroll, another resident, called the motion for censure "a political stunt," he said.
"This motion for censure is bogus," he said.
Bert Shadowen, another resident, said Councilwoman Berger has been critical of Mayor Faiella since she took office.
"It's almost like a vendetta," he said. "I believe the agenda being advanced here doesn't do us any good."
Councilwoman Berger, who said she doesn't know where Mr. Shadowen got his information about her being constantly critical of the mayor, asked him to mention his past involvement with the city government.
He said he served on the city's redistricting committee, which adopted a plan that would have moved Councilwoman Berger out of her existing district.
But when the city council adopted a revised plan, it allowed her to remain in her district.
City manager Greg Oravec said all the acrimony is not helping the city.
"That is not helping the city to move forward," he said.
Mayor Faiella was not present at the July 9 meeting because of an out-of-town emergency. She issued a pubic apology to city residents, council and staff about the emails, saying, "politics is a tough and humbling arena, and it's certainly humbled me. I've learned and continue to learn many invaluable personal lessons."

Samsung's announcement today of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 shows that, like Motorola, it is throwing in its lot with Nvidia, presenting an impressive challenge to Apple's upcoming iPad 2.
Samsung and Nvidia announced in Barcelona today at the Mobile World Congress that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet will run Google's Android 3.0 ("Honeycomb") software on top of the dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, the same software and chip being used by Motorola in its Xoom tablet.
"We've worked closely with Nvidia to raise the stakes again. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, with Honeycomb and Tegra 2, provides the optimal entertainment and multimedia experience without compromising the mobility Samsung is known for," Hyungmoon Noh, VP of Samsung's R&D Strategy Group, said in a statement.
Samsung's 10-inch tablet taps the Tegra 2 chip to drive "the first GPU-accelerated user interface designed for tablets and other larger-screen devices," Nvidia said in a statement. Nvidia's forte is designing GPUs, or Graphics Processing Units. With the Tegra 2, it couples an Nvidia GeForce GPU with dual-core processor design from ARM, more or less replicating what Motorola is doing internally with the Xoom.
Nvidia continued: "Tegra 2 enables consumers to engage in multitasking, [to] surf the Web quickly with fast-loading Web pages and Flash-based content, [and] enjoy console-quality gaming."
Both the Xoom and the Galaxy Tab should draw some attention away from Apple's iPad 2, which is also slated to have a dual-core processor, better graphics silicon, and a couple of cameras, as well as other features like more memory. To date, with the small exception of first-generation products like Samsung's 7-inch Galaxy Tab, Apple has had the tablet market pretty much to itself. Those days are likely over as heavyweights Google, Motorola, and Samsung bring their technological and marketing prowess to bear on the market.
And another interesting twist is that Samsung Semiconductor makes the A4 processor used in the iPad. The fact that Samsung has opted for Nvidia in its own 10-inch class tablet means there's some unusual chip-sourcing dynamics taking place between Apple and Samsung. (The 7-inch Galaxy Tab uses a Samsung chip.)
Other features of the 0.43-inch thick Galaxy Tab 10.1 include: a weight of 1.32 pounds, a 1,280×800-pixel resolution touch screen, standard Android user interface, support for 1080p HD video recording (at 24 frames per second) and playback (30fps), a back-facing 8-megapixel camera, front-facing 2-megapixel camera for video calls, and quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) which supports HSPA+. It also sports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 capability.
Samsung, however, did not indicate U.S. pricing and availability, or plans for a CDMA model.
The companies are also planning to bring out a new Android-based smartphone with a dual-core Nvidia chip.

Lovely condo!
We had a wonderful stay in this comfortable, well decorated condo. I would highly recommend this place to any family or group of friends looking for a fun, relaxing beach vacation! Super short walk to the beach, easy parking, great view from balcony and the condo is in a great, central location. Will stay here again! :)
My husband and I, our 16 year old daughter and 12 year old son, and our dog (Golden Retriever) visited over Spring Break. We have talked about it every day since and we can't wait to go back. The accommodations were perfect for our family and pleasing children of these ages is not easy! We were all sooo relaxed and comfortable, and you can't beat the view. The patio was our favorite place every morning. Our dog loved people and dog watching from up there:). The beds are all very comfortable, even the sofa bed, the kitchen has everything you need, and the master bedroom is very roomy!!We couldn't believe how beautiful the beach was and loved the clear water. Shopping and dining is so easy and quite affordable. Perfect location in Destin! Thanks Dennis!
Great Home Base in a Perfect Location
This was a combination business/pleasure trip and my first stay in the Maravilla community--and I loved it. It was quiet and felt secluded but was amazingly convenient to everything. The one-bedroom condo lived much larger that I expected. It was very well appointed; all appliances and decor were up to date. And while I have never rented a ground-floor unit before, I actually enjoyed it -- the landscaping outside my was so very nice, and I never felt "exposed" to foot traffic. The community is also very dog friendly; we especially enjoyed the long morning walks. The rental staff was great; my last-minute reservation was made in one quick and easy phone call with immediate and thorough follow-through with confirmation and details. There's no doubt I will rent in Maravilla again with Beach Condos in Destin.

The Story Continues...: Kevin Bridges
Glasgow's young comedy prodigy returns to the road in the autumn of 2012 with a brand new show called the 'The Story Continues...' - following up on the huge success of his sell-out UK tour of 2010.

His unique brand of social commentary, astute observations and sharp one-liners have proved a hit with audiences, leading to an extraordinary couple of years for Kevin. He sold out over 100 tour dates on his first ever UK solo tour in 2010, hosted an episode of BAFTA nominated Live at the Apollo, headlined an episode of Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow (BBC1) also in 2010, plus hosted the second series of Channel 4's Stand Up For The Week in 2011.

Hi, for a while now, I've had the AP US History outline bookmarked. It was from the same textbook I was using and much more detailed. But now whenever I go to the document, it forwards me to course-notes.org. What happened to those outlines. Is there a link to them on this new website? Because I find it a lot more detailed than the ones that are up. Thank you
AP US History Outline?
Same notes as before...just click on that link bud.
Is there a website for the American Pageant, 12th Edition textbook?
These outlines will work just fine for the 12th edition book, you just need to match up the time periods. Its not that much work :)
