It was Black Sunday in college football as five coaches were fired including Auburn's Gene Chizik, Purdue's Danny Hope and N.C. State's Tom O'Brien. That brings the total number of coaching jobs open to 12 including four in the SEC alone.
Here is a look at each of the current openings and who might possibly fill their vacancies:
Out: John L. Smith
The Buzz: John L. Smith signed a 10-month contract when he took over the Arkansas job in the wake of the Bobby Petrino scandal this spring. This season was, essentially, to be one long job interview for Smith, but after the Razorbacks opened the season with a 1-4 start, it quickly became apparent that the 64-year-old's time with the program might be short. Sure, Smith was good for a few good laughs and the occasional postgame rant, but with a team that was loaded with as much talent as Arkansas has and not qualify for a bowl was unacceptable.
Job grade: A-
Rumored replacement: Jon Gruden, Tommy Tuberville, Gary Patterson
Out: Gene Chizik
The Buzz: Only two years removed from winning the school's first national championship since 1957 and Chizik finds himself out as the head coach. As great as 2010 was for Chizik and Auburn, 2012 was just as bad. The Tigers finished the year at 3-9 including an 0-8 record in the Southeastern Conference. Saturday's 49-0 loss to in-state rival Alabama was one of the worst in the history of the Iron Bowl and it all but sealed his fate. In four seasons at the school, he was 33-19 overall but 15-17 in SEC play.
Job grade: A
Rumored replacement: Jimbo Fisher, Charlie Strong, Gus Malzahn
Out: Frank Spaziani
The Buzz: Spaziani became the second ACC coach to get fired Sunday following a 2-10 season. The 65-year-old spent nine season as the team's defensive coordinator before getting promoted to head coach following the dismissal of Jeff Jagodzinski in 2009. In four seasons under Spaziani, Boston College has gone 21-29 with back-to-back losing seasons.
Job grade: C+
Rumored replacements: Steve Addazio, Butch Jones, Sonny Dykes
Out: Jeff Tedford
The Buzz: Out of all of the coaching moves so far this season, the firing of Jeff Tedford was a bit of a surprise especially when you consider his record at Cal. The 51-year-old was in his 11th season at the school and accumulated a 82-57 overall record, but was only 50-45 in the Pac-12. The Bears are mired in their worst season under Tedford – 3-9 – and with programs like Oregon, Stanford, Oregon State and Washington on the rise, it was only a matter of time if Cal couldn't get back on track. Tedford is known for his offensive prowess and his ability to groom quarterbacks. He coached Aaron Rodgers, Kyle Boller, David Carr and Trent Dilfer during his coaching career. This job should garner a lot of attention, especially with the increasing profile of the Pac-12. The league, which has Rich Rodriguez, Mike Leach, Todd Graham, Jim Mora Jr., Chip Kelly and Lane Kiffin, isn't afraid to bring in some big personalities.

Best Place to Eat Duck San Francisco 2000 - La Villa Poppi
So much promise, so much disappointment. Duck can be such a moist, juicy, crispy, smoky, wonderfully fragrant experience, but it all too frequently ends up on the platter heavy and overdone, with all the pleasure cooked out of it. Not at La Villa Poppi, however, where owner/chef Greg Sweeting, a veteran of many an Italian kitchen, has been known to feature the fowl on his oft-changing menu with spectacular results. "The duck is the way we did it in the restaurant in Tuscany," he told SF Weekly last fall. "It's seasoned with onion and garlic and fennel and roasted whole. It's actually a bastardization of that and another dish, a whole roast duckling that's cooked with vermouth. I use Vinsanto from Tuscany instead. And I like a little sweetness here and there, so I sprinkle it with honey at the end." The light-textured, deeply flavored outcome is definitely worth waiting for.

What to do? Increased use of alternative sources of energy will help.
Using job-creating incentive funds Alabama voters approved in November, production facilities for solar energy equipment could become a reality.
Installations utilizing solar energy are already operational at the Lee County Justice Center, the Opelika City Hall and at Fort Rucker. If Alabama lawmakers would modify the tax structure, solar equipment and installation would be more attractive for builders and consumers.
The production of solar energy in Alabama would create manufacturing and installation jobs and also improve human health by reducing air and water pollution. It could also help reduce the frequency and severity of the weather events mentioned above. We really ought to get on with it, without delay.

• The Reckoning of the World: Weavers' Stories from East Timor
Jill Forshee, Ph.D.
Cultural Anthropologist, Columbia College Chicago
East Timor gained national independence from Indonesia in 1999, ending twenty-five years of internal warfare and resistance. Today, East Timor is the poorest country in Southeast Asia, with a long history of rule by outside forces. Yet life's creations and explanations carry on, as people struggle to maintain personal, cultural, and clan identities within a new nationalism and increasing forms of globalization. Local histories are central to these identities, and Dr. Jill Forshee has conducted original fieldwork in East Timor over the past twelve years. The stories she's collected reveal much about the local people's histories of struggle and violence, as well as the persistence of cultural expressions such as the textile arts and folklore. Forshee's lecture will touch upon a few weaver's stories of the significance of cloth in their lives over the past sixty years.
• When an Elephant is more than an Elephant: Lao-Tai Textiles in Ritual Context
Ellison Findly, Ph.D.*
Professor, Religion and Asian Studies, Trinity College, Hartford, CT
The textiles of the Lao-Tai in northeastern Laos range from everyday indigo cotton shirts and pants to elaborately woven supplementary weft pieces like shawls and headcloths that are used by shamans in ritually charged settings. The dense figural designs decorating Lao textiles make the artform unique. It would be easy if the weaver could say "this design is used in this textile, by this shaman, in this ritual," but that's not the case. In almost every instance, each weaver has a unique view about meaning, colored by her age and experience, religious affiliation, family background, and imagination. Dr. Findly's talk will explore the pleasures and difficulties of working with multivalence of meaning and use in a cultural setting that, in modern times, is changing at a rapid rate.
*Due to a serious health issue, Ellison Findly, Ph.D., will unable to deliver her lecture in person. Mattiebelle Gittinger, Ph.D., Textile Museum research associate for Southeast Asia and recognized expert on Southeast Asian textiles, will present the lecture on Dr. Findly's behalf. Dr. Gittinger is also the curator of Out of Southeast Asia: Art That Sustains.

• Traveling New Silk Roads: Tourists and Their Impact on Southeast Asian Textiles
Sandra Cate, Ph.D.
Lecturer, San Jose State University, San Jose, CA
International buyers, collectors, casual tourists, and backpackers alike now travel along modern Silk Roads throughout Southeast Asia. Seeking the sources of exotic textiles, they visit demonstrations, shop at showrooms in the cities, negotiate at local markets, and stop in remote villages to chat with women working at looms. These encounters represent essential cultural contact points that allow local weavers and needle workers to learn foreign design and color preferences, as well as new economic values. For their part, travelers gain a sense of environmental context; the cultural importance of weaving and needlework; and a deeper appreciation of skill and local knowledge. Based on ethnographic fieldwork (2002-2013) in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, as well as with Hmong and Mien women in Northern California, Dr. Cate's presentation will explore these intercultural encounters and detail how textile tourism has changed production practices in village households and city workshops.

Apparently Louisiana Tech had time to accept the offer until Saturday afternoon, at which time Northern Illinois playing in a BCS bowl was the likely scenario.
Northern Illinois playing in a BCS bowl is no suprise. Coming into this weekend, the chance of the MAC champ making a BCS game was close to 50%, and after the UCLA loss on Friday it was about 70%.
Once again Brad Edwards got it wrong as he predicted Kent State to get in the BCS if they won, but not Northern Illinois if the won. Because of this, on Saturday, he had Oklahoma going to the BCS.

Click Here To Email Coach Troy Calhoun
The purpose of the United States Air Force Academy is to develop young people of strong character who graduate and serve as outstanding leaders on active duty and beyond. It's a purpose Troy Calhoun thoroughly respects and realizes is necessary for our country. While embracing the mission of the Academy, Calhoun has also found a way to accomplish what was once considered unthinkable: building a service academy program that plays very competitive football in one of college football's best conferences.
Air Force student-athletes must complete the nation's most demanding academic curriculum while further embedding the heart and character that are crucial for serving America. Cadets at the Academy must work through courses that require finishing over 140 semester hours. Strong character traits, to include respect, teamwork, courage, spirit, discipline, honesty and toughness, are the bedrock of the leadership qualities Air Force football players utilize while serving as officers in the United States Air Force. Calhoun and his staff have parlayed the varied demands of their players into a cohesive team that has fared quite well both on and off the field in his five seasons as head coach.
Calhoun's players are extraordinarily successful finishing their academic and leadership responsibilities. The Air Force football team's NCAA APR (Academic Progress Report) is annually amongst the finest of the 120 schools that play at the FBS level of college football. From May 2008 through the present, Air Force is the only service academy and the only Mountain West Conference program to finish above the nation's 90th percentile each of the last five years. The Air Force football APR's for the five most recent years have been 976 in 2008, 983 in 2009, an astounding 988 in 2010, 978 in 2011, 980 in 2012 and 974 in 2013. In addition to being the nation's best in regards to the NCAA's APR, over 98 percent of Air Force football team members who participated in a game in either their junior or senior seasons under Calhoun's guidance graduated from the United States Air Force Academy.
Calhoun is the only head football coach at the Air Force Academy to lead teams to a post-season bowl games six consecutive years. They have done this while playing very strong opponents. Calhoun's 2009 Air Force squad was the only team in the last 50 years of service academy football to play at least four ranked teams and win a bowl game in the same season. In the 100-plus year history of service academy football, Calhoun is the first coach to lead teams to at least six wins and a bowl game in each of his first six seasons.
Calhoun has lifted the Falcon football program to unprecedented heights within the Mountain West Conference. Calhoun's five teams are a combined 29-18 in the Mountain West Conference and 47-31 overall. Air Force had posted three straight losing seasons from 2004-2006 before his arrival. His 29 wins in the MWC are the most in school history in a six-year span. Calhoun's conference winning percentage of .617 makes him the only Air Force coach in any MWC sport at the Academy to have coached at least five years and have an overall winning record in conference play.
With Calhoun at the helm, the Falcons have played their best football in the second half of the season. Air Force is 23-13 under Calhoun during the last six games of the regular season, including a 5-1 mark in 2007 which is the second-best in school history. Prior to his arrival, Air Force was 12-24 during the final six regular season games from 2001-2006.
The Falcons posted a 6-7 overall record in 2012 and qualified for a sixth straight bowl game, taking on Rice in the Armed Forces Bowl. The Falcons were 5-3 in conference play to finish fourth.
Air Force won its second straight Commander-in-Chief's Trophy (and record 18th overall) in 2011, the first back-to-back titles at the Academy since 2001-02 and earned their fifth straight bowl game, taking on Toledo in the Military Bowl. The 2010 team finished 9-4 overall and third in the Mountain West with a 5-3 mark. The team also won Air Force's 17th Commander-in-Chief's Trophy championship with wins over Army and Navy. The Falcons closed the season with a victory over Georgia Tech of the ACC, 14-7, in the Independence Bowl. Calhoun was named Coach of the Year by the Colorado Chapter of the National Football Foundation.
The 2009 Air Force team finished 8-5 overall and concluded with a convincing 47-20 win over 25th-ranked Houston in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. Air Force set 13 Academy bowl team records in the dominant victory. The team also set six school records during the 2009 season. Calhoun was named Coach of the Year by the Colorado Chapter of the National Football Foundation for his efforts.
Calhoun's 2007 and 2008 Air Force teams finished 9-4 and 8-5, respectively, and both earned bowl bids. The 2007 Air Force team placed second in the Mountain West Conference with a 6-2 mark in Calhoun's first year and earned the program's first bowl berth in five years. The 2007 Falcons were the only team in Air Force history to win road games at Notre Dame, Utah and Colorado State in the same season. The five-game turnaround from 2006, in which Air Force was 4-8, was the largest in the nation that season by a first-year head coach. The five-game turnaround was the best in school history since the 1958 team had a school-record turnaround of six games.
Air Force's nine wins tied Calhoun for the most wins ever at the Academy by a first-year head coach, matching the mark set by Coach Ben Martin in 1958. The six MWC wins set a new Academy standard and were two wins better than the previous mark for conference wins by a first-year head coach at the Academy. Air Force also posted just the third undefeated home record in school history.
Calhoun was named the Mountain West Conference's Coach of the Year for his efforts. In addition, he was named Coach of the Year in Region 5 by the American Football Coaches Association and was one of eight finalists for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award. He was also one of seven finalists for the AFCA National Coach of the Year award.
Calhoun brought to Air Force a wealth of experience at the collegiate and professional levels that was flooded with success at every stop prior to the Academy. Calhoun came to the Academy after serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Houston Texans in 2006. The Texans were one of only two NFL teams to triple their number of wins from the previous year. The 2006 Texans were the last team to defeat the Indianapolis Colts on their way to the Super Bowl championship. On offense, the Texans had the NFL's leading receiver (Pro Bowler Andre Johnson with 103 catches), the NFL's best quarterback completion percentage (68.4 percent) and their quarterback tied a NFL record against Buffalo with 22 straight completions.
Calhoun became a well-rounded NFL coach, working as a defensive assistant, special teams assistant and offensive assistant with the Denver Broncos from 2003-05. He began his NFL coaching career by serving on the defensive side of the ball in 2003. He helped coach the NFL's fourth-best defense. The Broncos' defense ranked seventh against the run and sixth against the pass. Denver's defense yielded a mere 17.6 points per game as they made the playoffs for the first time since 2000.
In 2004, Calhoun moved to become an assistant on offense and worked with the special teams. The offense ranked fifth in the NFL, averaging 395.8 yards per game. Calhoun worked closely with Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan in the 2005 season, serving as the assistant to the head coach. The Broncos won the AFC West title for the 10th time in their history and played for the AFC Championship game for the first time in seven seasons. Their 14-4 record was the best since Denver finished the 1998 season as winners of Super Bowl XXXIII. The offense finished fifth in the NFL averaging 360.4 yards per game. The defense was stout against the run, finishing second in the NFL with 85.2 yards per game. Denver finished with an undefeated record at home during the regular season for the fifth time in team history. During Calhoun's three years in Denver, the Broncos made the playoffs every season, averaging over 11 wins a year.
Prior to the NFL, Calhoun was an offensive coordinator for six seasons on the collegiate level. He began his coaching career at Air Force, where he worked as a graduate assistant from 1989-90. He started at quarterback for the Academy in 1986 and was one of only two freshmen to letter for the 1985 team that finished fifth in the final polls with a 12-1 record that included wins over Notre Dame and Texas.
Calhoun served his country from 1989-95 as an active duty officer in the Air Force. He was an assistant coach for the Falcons in 1993-94. He moved to Ohio University in the spring of 1995 where he served as the quarterbacks coach for two seasons. Calhoun was promoted to offensive coordinator in 1997. During his first season at the helm, the offense totaled 612 yards against Eastern Michigan, second-most in school history. The Bobcats defeated Maryland in 1997, marking the school's first win against a team from the ACC in school history. The `97 Bobcats' 8-3 record was the school's best in 29 years. During his last season at Ohio in 2000, the Bobcats beat two bowl teams, Minnesota and Marshall, for the first time in school history. Calhoun's 2000 offense set a school record with 418.1 yards per game.
Calhoun moved to Wake Forest in 2001. The Demon Deacons were one of only seven teams in the country to score more than 30 points in each of the final four games. During his second season, Wake led the ACC in total offense with 408.1 yards per game. His offense had a league-best 990 plays and was efficient with the ball, committing only 16 turnovers, fewest in the ACC. The 2001 season culminated with a 38-17 bowl victory over Oregon to give Wake Forest its first back-to-back winning seasons since the ACC expanded from eight teams.
Groomed on the basics of integrity and passion, Calhoun was raised in a home where both kids graduated from the Air Force Academy and were varsity letter winners on nationally-ranked teams. Calhoun's younger sister, Callie, is a 1991 Academy graduate. She was a 10-time track and cross country All-American who won six NCAA national titles. Troy Calhoun graduated from the Academy in 1989 as a member of the superintendent's list by earning over a 3.0 grade point average along with a military performance average of better than 3.0. He and his wife, Amanda, live in Colorado Springs and have two children, Tyler (11) and Amelia (nine). Troy and Amanda Calhoun have a strong respect and affinity for the members of our armed services and are very involved with numerous charitable and community endeavors.

What do you mean by phase of a wave? And phase difference? Waves have always confused me as it's too difficult to visualize them. I am no good at waves mechanics, so if anyone could explain in simpler term? Also if anyone could direct me to complete solution to my problem as to study waves from where? How do you visualize it? How did you study and understand? I have been meaning to ask this question for quite a time but always thought it would be too dumb. Thank you and I am eagerly waiting for an answer and your valuable suggestion
Here is a graph of a sine function, it is a function of the angle which goes from 0 to two pi and the value of sine(theta) is bounded by 0 and 1.
This function of theta carried on further on the x axis repeats itself every 2pi.
From the graphic one can see that it looks like a wave, and in truth sines ( and cosines) come as solutions of a number of wave equations, where the variable is a function of space and time.
here phi ($\phi$) is a "phase" . It is a constant that tells at what value the sine function has when $t=0$ and $x=0$.
If one happens to have two waves ovelapping, then the $\phi_1$-$\phi_2$ of the functions is the phase difference of the two waves. How much they differ at the beginning ($x=0$ and $t=0$), and this phase difference is evidently kept all the way through.
Let us consider a travelling wave along a very long piece of string. The string will oscillate, and the displacement, $y$, of the string from the flat position (no wave at all) is given by the following equation assuming that the wave does not have a head start
$A_0$ = the maximum departure of the string from the flat position (called: amplitude)
$T$ = the time taken by a particle in the string to complete one oscillation, return to its initial position and repeat the oscillation over and over again.
$\lambda$ = the wavelength of the wave along the string. Imagine this as the distance travelled by the wave in one period, T. Hence one can write the equation $v=\lambda f$, where $f$ is the frequency of the oscillation of a particle in the string. You can thing of this as the number of complete cycles the wave is doing in one second.
The Phase:
The phase of the wave is the quantity inside the brackets of the sin-function, and it is an angle measured either in degrees or radians.
The phase of a wave is not a fixed quantity. Its value depends on what point along the x-axis and at what time you observe the wave. For example, if you consider two points $x_1$ and $x_2$ along the $x$-axis at some common instant in time $t_c$, these two points will have their own phase $\phi_1$ and $\phi_2$ given as
$\phi_1=( \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x_1-\frac{2\pi}{T}t_c)$
The phase difference the wave has at these two points is
$\phi_2-\phi_1= \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x_2 -\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x_1 $
The important result here is that the two waves can be:
(1) In phase if $x_2-x_1=n\lambda$, i.e the wave is doing exactly the same thing at such points along the x-axis.
(2) Out of phase if $x_2-x_1=(n+\frac{1}{2})\lambda$, i.e one point in the string, $x_1$ say, is moving upwards while $x_2$ is moving downwards but symmetrically.
This analysis holds for two coherent waves coming from two coherent sources, travelling different distances and combine at some point that is distance $x_1$ from one source and distance $x_2$ from the other source. So you will get constructive interference in case (1), and destructive interference in case (2). This is why you are able to observe the interference pattern.
You would probably know the shape of waves so the higher point is known as crest and the lower one is known as trough. Ok now take the graph of a sign function and a cos function you will see the difference that at the origin sin is at zero and cos is at 1 so there is a phase difference of pie/2 angle because when you will draw the cos graph towards negative x axis you will see it touches the x axis at -(pie)/2. For better understanding you may refer to arihant mechanics part 2 by dc pandey . Hope it helped you. And never fell yourself dumb in asking questions as you dont know how hard is the topic it also took me about a year to figure out
I think the relevant question here is "What is a wave?". We generally define anything that solves the wave equation or generalisations thereof to be a wave; I realise however that may not be quite illuminating.
Fortunately the solutions themselves are easy enough to describe: they are of the form* $$f(x,t)=A\sin\left(\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} x - \frac{2 \pi}{T} t\right)$$ so that $\lambda$ is the wavelength, $T$ is the period of the wave, and $f(x,t)$ is equal to the amplitude of the wave at the point $x$ at time $t$, while $A$ is a constant. The argument of this function, $$\varphi(x,t)=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} x - \frac{2 \pi}{T} t$$ is the phase. With this definition we can write $$f(x,t)=f(\varphi(x,t))$$ so as to consider $f$ as a function of its phase alone. So two waves $f_1$ and $f_2$ have a phase difference $\Delta \varphi$ if $$f_1(x,t)=f_1(\varphi(x,t) + \Delta \varphi) \\ f_2(x,t)=f_2(\varphi(x,t))$$ So when you add sinusoidal waves like these what you get is dependent on $\Delta \varphi$. E.g if you consider the sum $f(\varphi(x,t)+\Delta \varphi) + f(\varphi(x,t))$ with $f$ as above for different values of $\Delta \varphi$ you get
for $\Delta \varphi=0$, $f(\varphi(x,t)+0) + f(\varphi(x,t))=2 f(\varphi(x,t)) $
for $\Delta \varphi=\pi$, $f(\varphi(x,t)+\pi) + f(\varphi(x,t))=-f(\varphi(x,t)) +f(\varphi(x,t))=0$ since $\sin(\phi +\pi)=-\sin(\phi)$ for all $\phi$.
Note that this generalises to other waveforms; for instance you can try $f(\varphi) = e^{-\varphi^2}$ where $\varphi$ is as above and I got tired of writing the $(x,t)$ dependence explicitly :-), and see what you get.
*Of course these are not the only solutions, but any of them can be obtained as a superposition of sinusoids like this. Phase is mostly useful when you are talking about sinusoids or things that resemble them closely enough however.
It's an offset, in time or space, of one wave with respect to another
If you make an arbitrary choice and say your wave "starts" when it's height is 0, then if you start a second wave a short time later it will be out of phase with the first wave. If you start the second wave at a later time that is an exact multiple of the time the first wave takes to repeat, the second wave will be in phase.
Another way to gain insight is to defer the motion of waves and focus on the complex plane and the notion of phasor obtained via Euler's formula, $e^{i \theta} = cos(\theta)+ i sin(\theta) $ (refer to the figure in Wikip).
The set {$e^{i \theta} | \theta \in [0,2 \pi]$} is the unit circle, and the phase difference between any two points on it, eg, $e^{i \phi}$ and $e^{i \psi}$ is well defined and is is simply $\phi - \psi$ (the Wikip. article explains the complex conjugate multiplication involved).
To relate back to waves, replace the constant $e^{i \theta}$ with a function of time $e^{i \omega t} $ where $\omega$ is the angular velocity.
Finally note that two such phasors $e^{i \omega_1 t}$ and $e^{i \omega_2 t}$ do not have a (constant) phase difference if their angular velocities differ, ie if, $\omega_1 \neq \omega_2$, (though rational ratios of angular velocities result in stable winding numbers or entrainment, which is a more general form of phase relation).

This is the 2nd Titleist driver I have owned and once again I am not disappointed! Great driver that I have dialed in A1 for a nice power fade - I line it up left and just let it go!!! I can work it right-left if needed but the fade is almost automatic so no need to mess with a good thing. Mis-hits still work out and when you hit the sweet spot it feels like you hit nothing at all. While you will pay top price for this driver it is well worth it.

Was in the market for a new driver and spent DAYS trying every driver I could and thoroughly comparing the numbers. Titleist 913 D2 (or D3!) were hands down the best...numbers, looks, feel, sound. Winner. Not sure how Titleist will be able to improve on this one. Icing on the cake is that the adjustability allows you to fine tune this bad-boy in a way that no other brand offers.
Marc Kuzio from Liverpool, NY | 1/23/2014 9:19 AM
First time I played with this club, it was 38 degrees and the ball traveled just like it would as it was summer!! Very Impressed with it.
John Hart from Marriottsville, MD | 11/12/2013 8:57 AM
Had a D-1 several years ago and switched to Callaway FT then to Taylormade R11. Had a little trouble with the white clubhead but finally adjusted (mental). The new D-3 is awesome. Added 15 yards to best tee shot and got back to slight draw ball flight that I had lost with Ft and R-11. Ended up with all factory settings. Overall, well worth the price.
MasonJ from Pleasantville, IA | 9/19/2013 12:14 AM
I had owned the Titleist 907D1 for 5 years and I really enjoyed what it brought to my game. But before I upgraded to the 913D2 this year I wanted to try out the top Taylormade drivers to make sure I was choosing the best club. I had the golf pro fit me for each club. The Titleist by far gave me the best results in distance, spin and accuracy. And it sounded so much better! I don't go a round without hitting at least one 350 yard drive. Do yourself a favor and make the switch.

Food & Entertaining
OT - Kitty TLC
Sorry for the OT... Although it does pertain to Entertaining kitties.
While son and DIL are on vacation this week, I'm looking in on the grandkitties so they don't feel emotionally abandoned.
I don't have pets and only had dogs as a kid. Know very little about cats. Do you think it's okay to take them a little treat? If so, what kind? I wouldn't want to upset their tummies or anything.
I don't know much about cats except that they can be finicky. They probably would enjoy a toy more than a food treat which would be safer for you, too, as you don't know what foods might upset their systems.
If your son and DIL did not leave treats I suggest you not give them anything other than their regular food. As Gracie said a toy may be better. Cats are easily amused by many things that move so if you bring a small ball they might chase it. One of my cats likes to play with pencils and if I leave one on the table she will jump up to knock it to the floor, play with it awhile, and eventually knock it under the buffet. I have to search before vacuuming under there as there could be anything hidden there she thinks is a toy! She also, for some strange reason likes to chew on emery boards so I have to be careful not to leave one where she can find it. I doubt her teeth need smoothing down! LOL
If you want to make friends with cats just sit quietly and let them come to you. With many cats if you try too hard they will back off.
"I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow
Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/
nettiejay, How nice of you to offer to help with the "grand-kitties! I'm sure that it eased your son and dil's minds to know that someone who really cared would be checking in on them so that they can enjoy their vacation without worrying about "the kids back home!"
Yes, it's definitely okay to take them a treat ~ just a different type of treat than you are thinking ~ NOT ONE THAT IS FOOD BASED! Instead, I'm sure they would enjoy the treat of some interactive "play-time" while their "parents" are gone. Yes, they can entertain themselves for the most part, but they might really enjoy some play-time to break up the boredom of no one home for such a long period of time!
I understand that you are not familiar with cats but would like to make them happy ~ luckily, cats are very easily pleased and a little interaction will please them far more than any food (which, by the way, is a really bad idea.)
So what "play-time" am I suggesting? Well, it depends on the age and personalities of the cats involved. First, stop by Walgreens, Walmart or your local grocery chain and buy a few toys from their pet section. Nothing elaborate ~ maybe a stuffed catnip mouse or two but if you can find a Cat Laser Light ~ bingo!
Then go over to the house, clean the litter box, refill water/food and then go sit down quietly where they can see you. If one or both are willing to approach you, you can toss out the catnip mouse on the string and let the cat explore it ~ don't worry, the cat will know how to play ~ you just have to participate on your end of the string!
If one or the other of the cats seems fearful, just leave them alone and play with the other. It can be FUN for all of you ~ especially if you are able to find a Cat Laser Light and start playing with it with them. Check it out; you'll find out what I'm talking about....
Do not leave any "toys" or anything new that you have brought into the house with them ~ it's not safe to give any animals new objects and then leave them unattended. Just bring them with you when you next come over ~ bet the cats will be looking forward to your return!
Thanks everybody. I knew I could count on your help.
As advised, I've been going daily to check on the Girls. I know I can't replace their 'real' parents, but I think they feel I'm an okay substitute. My instinct told me strange food treats might not be good. Thanks for confirming that.
IR... Ashes loves playing the string-on-a-stick game. Not sure about the laser light, though. Sounds like it might be too exciting for a kitty who gets hyper-stimulated just having the windows open on a nice spring day!
Thanks again for the help, ladies.
Actually, nettiejay, that is exactly the type of cat who can benefit most from having a human play laser light with them! It doesn't "over-stimulate them" ~ just the opposite in fact. Helps them burn off some energy, have fun doing so and, as a bonus, connect with the "humans" in their lives.
Once "playtime" (even as little as 5-10 minutes) is done, they are satisfied and happy and will be content to look forward to the next time! Your son and DIL are lucky to have you ~ thanks for posting the thread even if it was OT...
Before laser lights we just used a flashlight. Bigger beam but the cats still like to chase it. Watch where you point. Cats can run over lampshades and all sorts of things

Accessible Hotels: Not just for, but Run by People with a Disability
Accessible Hotels: Not just for, but Run by People with a Disability
© Hemera
The 14 rooms of the Stadthaushotel, of which seven are wheelchair accessible, appeal not just to handicapped travellers. The hotel was founded by the parents of eight young men and women with various disabilities. The parents' plan worked out – they were able to provide their children with both adequate and satisfying jobs and a fair amount of independence.
The tasks are tailored to the abilities of each employee. Many of the disabled workers make use of the assisted living facilities in the up-stairs area of the hotel. They were trained for their jobs in a specific school and are supported by non-disabled co-workers and by Arezki Krim, an experienced hotel manager. He makes sure the service runs smoothly and the guests are comfortable. And the visitors and guests enjoy the cordiality and the surpassing commitment of the employees, of whom some have a learning disability.
But the hotel does not rely on mercy or a special 'disability bonus'. Both the hotel and Café MaxB, a coffee-house in the neighbourhood run jointly by people with a disability and former drug users, are projects by jugend hilft jugend e.V.. The Hamburg based non-profit association aims to provide safe job opportunities for handicapped people - by working cost-effective and efficient.
The Stadthaushotel is a special project, and has long been the only hotel of this kind across Europe. But in the last few years, similar efforts have been made elsewhere in Germany, for example the Hotel Lindenhof in the small town of Bethel or Berlin's Hotel Mit-Mensch. The integrative hotel INNdependence in Mainz has even won an award by the regional government last year.

great if you don't mind green skin
By Jessie
from Hamilton
The reason I'm giving this a medium rating is because:-the necklace and bracelet set are pretty enough and relatively easy to get on and off and they are comfortable to wear-I bought it in the turquoise, which matched my Himalayan Gems turquoise so that was nice, but the rose quartz set wasn't very "rosy"-I left the two on for a few days in a row and looked closely in the mirror, and realized the skin on my neck had turned green! I knew that happened with copper, but didn't realize it would happen with silver-plated bronze-I was tempted to return them, but had already thrown all the original packaging and receipt away-I will recommend this product WITH RESERVATIONS
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Beads too small
By Cathy
from Montreal
I returned this chain as it didn't come out enough on my clothes. Maybe if I had chosen the coral beads, it would have been nicer. The price is O.K. It only depends on your personal taste and/or needs. Overall, I would recommand it.

Try Hazelnut or Irish Creme, or use non-fat d airy creamer to cut calories. Set includes a 16 ounce sugar bowl with lid, a stoneware sugar spoon, that rests beautifully in the notched lid and a 16 ounce creamer. Microwave & dishwasher safe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MNDH DARLING!! This set of sugar/creamer from the Napoli line is just so fun and pretty! They are both a great size I like the little spoon too. Arrived in perfect shape, although, I did not purchase them from this sight (but wish that I had, as they are marked down here!). I also wanted to mention that my kitchen is RED, not ROSE, with many red antiques and these items in the Napoli line match perfectly. September 30, 2013

Investigation performed at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Traumatology, Hôpital de L'Archet, University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis, Nice, France
The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic factors and limitations of anatomic unconstrained shoulder arthroplasty, performed without tuberosity osteotomy, for the treatment of secondary glenohumeral arthritis following posttraumatic cephalic collapse or necrosis of the humeral head, defined as type-1 fracture sequelae.
Fifty-five patients with type-1 fracture sequelae treated with anatomic shoulder arthroplasty were included in this retrospective single-center cohort study. All anatomic humeral prostheses were implanted without performing a greater tuberosity osteotomy. Glenoid resurfacing was performed in forty-four patients (80%). Clinical and radiographic analysis was performed at a mean of fifty-two months (range, twenty-four to 180 months) postoperatively.
Four reoperations (7%) were performed, including two revisions in patients who required glenoid resurfacing because of glenoid erosion after hemiarthroplasty. At the time of the latest follow-up, 93% of patients were satisfied or very satisfied, and the mean Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV) was 81%. There were significant improvements in the mean Constant score (from 32 to 69 points), active anterior elevation (from 88° to 141°), external rotation (from 6° to 34°), and internal rotation (from the buttock to L3). Significantly poorer results were associated with proximal humeral deformity in varus and with fatty infiltration of the rotator cuff muscles. Patients with proximal humeral deformity, specifically varus or valgus malunion of the greater tuberosity, had a mean Constant score that was 10 points lower and active elevation that was almost 20° less than patients with no such deformity. The poorest results were observed in patients with varus malunion.
Our study confirmed that the outcomes of anatomic shoulder arthroplasty for the treatment of type-1 fracture sequelae are good and predictable when deformation of the proximal humerus is acceptable(i.e., when no greater tuberosity osteotomy is necessary). The results were negatively affected by proximal humeral varus deformity and by fatty infiltration of the rotator cuff on imaging studies. In such cases, reverse shoulder arthroplasty may be more appropriate, especially in elderly patients.
Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
Type-1 fracture sequelae were subclassified according to the absence (types 1A and 1B) or the presence (types 1C and 1D) of osseous deformation of the proximal aspect of the humerus. OA = osteoarthritis.
Posttraumatic fracture sequelae involving humeral head osteonecrosis and slight valgus malunion of the greater tuberosity (type 1C) treated with hemiarthroplasty with a standard humeral stem (follow-up, fifteen years). Noe that the undersized cemented stem was implanted in valgus to adapt to the malunion (i.e., to place the prosthetic head slightly above the greater tuberosity).
Fracture sequela involving slight malunion of the greater tuberosity treated with an undersized, low-profile cemented fracture-type humeral stem (follow-up, fifty-five months).The prosthetic head was placed slightly above the greater tuberosity. Note the restoration of a normal acromiohumeral distance.
Active anterior shoulder elevation (AAE) and absolute Constant score according to the type of fracture sequelae. Values are shown as the mean and the 95% confidence interval (CI). The poorest results were seen with varus malunion (type 1D).

Erasmus 2013
'The World is my home'
These are the famous words of our namesake, Erasmus, who always identified himself as Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam. The quote from this cosmopolitan avant la lettre perfectly reflects the motto of our future ambitions: where does Erasmus University (of) Rotterdam stand in 2013 when we celebrate our centenary.
The year 1913 saw the foundation of the Netherlands School of Commerce, on initiative of Rotterdam businessmen and harbor barons. The entrepreneurship of those days as well as the pragmatic orientation on society are still in our Rotterdam genes.
After twelve months' intensive deliberations with a range of partners within and outside the university, we have set a course towards 2013. The vision document is our compass and agenda. The challenge now is to make these ambitions come true, in unison.

One easy solution for creating your own mistake-free outfits is to look to today�'s MySpace Muses for inspiration. These stylish ladies from our international community of friends offer up lots of smart ways to wear the latest trends. Kari, 21, Mexico (top row, far left) tucked a simple white tee into a plaid skirt�--try James Perse�'s Casual Tee ($44) with Arden B�'s. Plaid Pencil Skirt ($78)�--for a sleekly stylish look. We love how Tamara, 27, Wisconsin (top row, middle) made her all-black outfit more interesting by adding a few strong brown accessories. Punch up your own noir ensembles with Mia�'s Empire Gladiator Sandals ($63) and Urban Outfitters�' Sabina Foldover Satchel ($245). As you know, we adore little leather jackets and like how Andrea, 24, Amsterdam (top row, far right) wore hers with some of-the-moment baggy cropped trousers. If you don�'t have an abbreviated moto, try bebe�'s Cropped Motorcycle Jacket ($249), and check out Silence & Noise�'s Ankle Roll Pant ($68) for similar bottoms.
This crop of muses also gave us great examples of how to mix different styles together. Olivia, 16, Boston (bottom row, far left) balanced out the inherent preppiness of a cable knit cardi by wearing it over a graphic tee. If you�'d like to emulate her outfit, J. Crew has a fantastic Cambridge Cardigan ($88), available in twelve colors, and Alloy�'s Freddy Mercury Tee ($19) would be perfect underneath. Nita, 23, Finland (bottom row, middle) shows us how to work the over-the-top look of over-the-knee boots into an everyday outfit�--just wear them with a pair of opaque tights! Chinese Laundry�'s Turbo Boots ($99) are a great guilt-free way to try this shoe style. Finally, we have Hanah, 19, Toronto (bottom row, far right). She diffused her blouse�'s girly ruffles (Ali Ro�'s Ruffled Blouse ($152) is darling) by tucking the top into a sharp pair of tailored trousers. Playing feminine pieces against masculine ones is always a savvy choice.
As always, our search for new muses is ongoing, so don't hesitate to recommend yourself or a friend. Just email us (email@example.com) your name, age, email address, a link to your MySpace page, and the best full-length shots that convey your personal style!

Most readers will be familiar with URL shortening services — redirection services that give users a short web address that points to a longer one. I've come across URL shortening in legal briefs more and more, and I have used such links in briefs myself. The shortening avoids an unsightly excessively-long URL when you are linking to content on the web, and it's also easier for the reader who might hand-type the URL into a browser. In the opening brief in United States v. Auernheimer, for example, I linked to http://goo.gl/dVQ4k instead of to the ugly https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/scraper/mbigbapnjcgaffohmbkdlecaccepngjd?hl=en.
In the last two years, federal court decisions have started to use URL shortening links, too. Judge Kozinski uses them extensively in today's dissent in Minority Television Project v. FCC, a case on the First Amendment implications on banning certain kinds of ads on public TV. An excerpt:
Third, advertisements are speech. Viewers often see commercials as no more than annoying interruptions, but the Supreme Court has recognized that advertisements often carry important, sometimes vital, information. See, e.g.,Bates v. State Bar of Arizona, 433 U.S. 350 (1977) (lawyer advertising); Virginia State Bd. of Pharmacy. v. Virginia Citizens Consumer Council, 425 U.S. 748 (1976) (prescription drug prices); Rubin v. Coors Brewing Co., 514 U.S. 476 (1995) (beer labels). Advertisements can be for annoying, useless or decadent products, but they can also encourage people to get breast exams, http://goo.gl/MM6sV9; join the peace corps, http://goo.gl/bfBmiy; get a smoke alarm, http://goo.gl/wChmN0; prevent forest fires, http://goo.gl/HrCxQG; vote, http://goo.gl/do9TCc, etc., etc. Excluding advertising from public broadcasting deprives viewers of the opportunity to obtain such important information.
A quick Westlaw search finds 9 judicial opinions before today's decision that use Google's URL shortener, goo.gl. Several of them use the service for maps, such as this excerpt from Arnette v. Armor Correctional Health Services, Inc., 2013 WL 5356869 (W.D.Va. 2013):
On March 10, 2011, Arnette was taken to a gastroenterologist in Warrenton, Virginia.FN7 The gastroenterologist assessed Arnette's ulcerative colitis as "chronically active" and "uncontrolled," prescribed a 6–week steroid treatment, ordered blood-work, and scheduled a two-month follow-up appointment.
FN7. The gastroenterologist's office that Arnette was taken to was approximately 32.8 miles from Coffeewood. Google Maps, http://goo.gl/maps/9FBe3 (last visited Sept. 17, 2013). MCV is approximately 84.8 miles from Coffeewood. Google Maps, http://goo.gl/maps/ePaS8 (last visited Sept. 17, 2013).
It's an interesting development, and I suspect it's one that we will see more of rather than less of in the future.

At its core, the NFL draft is an exercise that anyone who has ever picked sides on a playground is familiar with. Of course, the TV cameras, raucous fans at New York's Radio City Music Hall and hulking athletes turned into instant millionaires bring a little more glitz to the affair.
This week, a more uncomfortable facet of the NFL bubbled back to the surface with the apparent suicide of Junior Seau, a former all-star linebacker for the San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. He was 43.
It's striking and perfectly natural that many familiar with the NFL quickly tied Seau's apparent self-inflicted gunshot to his chest to the suicides of other former pro football players. In 2011, Dave Duerson, an 11-year NFL veteran, took his own life after battling a brain injury caused by repeated blows to the head. Duerson's suicide note made clear he shot himself in the chest because he wanted his damaged brain to be studied. Duerson was 50.
And there are others. Late last month, Ray Easterling, a former Atlanta Falcon who had sued the NFL over its treatment of players with concussion-related injuries, took his own life; he was 62. Andre Waters, a former Philadelphia Eagle, and Terry Long, a former Pittsburgh Steeler, both killed themselves last decade after suffering from brain injuries. Waters was 44 and Long was 45.
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is the proper name for the brain disease that afflicted Duerson and so many others. It can lead to loss of motor skills and depression.
As the New Yorker's Malcolm Gladwell put it when considering suicides among former NFL players, these "were men with aching knees and backs and hands, from all those years of playing football. But their real problem was with their heads, the one part of their body that got hit over and over again."
We don't know if Seau suffered from the same ailment that ended the lives of so many ex-NFLers, broken and sad men who never saw their 65th birthdays. We do know that looming over the league is a potential legal, financial and marketing nightmare. One that must be addressed more aggressively to make sure the top draft picks of today aren't the sad obituaries of 25 years from now.
