LOS ANGELES, Feb. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mind Wiz Labs, a new Indie game company, just launched its new Kickstarter project for "Mind Wiz." Reinventing the language learning process, they claimed it is the best language learning game on the planet.

Presently, students have to lug heavy backpacks full of books. In the near future, classrooms will digitize textbooks through the use of an iPad or similar tablet device. Mind Wiz Labs argues that the real revolution is in the form of beautifully animated dynamic games to supplement the standard static textbook-only studying technique. They further state that immersive learning entertainment is the future of portable devices and that their flagship product, Mind Wiz, is just the first step in realizing that vision.
"Everyone knows that kids and even adults are fanatical about games. This has been a problem with their studies. A distraction. Nobody disputes this. It's a fact. But, what if games, instead of being a problem, can be the solution? It's my opinion that this enemy of learning can, in fact, be its salvation. The only problem is finding a company to step up and deliver a learning game of high-enough entertainment value to compete with the exciting but mindless eye candy that dominates the genre. For the first time in history, Mind Wiz is doing just that," said Michael Wilson, president of Mind Wiz Labs.
Mind Wiz Labs launched the "Mind Wiz" Kickstarter project because they don't have the financial muscle of the big game studios. They said that it's a David vs. Goliath battle and the support of the Kickstarter community will give them the jumpstart they need to take Mind Wiz to the next level, by pioneering a new path in merging education with gaming entertainment for mobile devices.
"We can be so bold because we believe in this vision; big game companies would never dare this without extensive market research and financial risk-reward analysis," said Brada Jiang, vice-president.

NEW! Evolutionary Tidbit of the Moment
In seemingly unrelated languages from every corner of the globe, the word corresponding to "mother" contains a sound like /ma/, as in "amma," "mama," or "ima." Father words tend to have the /pa/ or /ba/ sound, like "appa," "abba," "baba," or "papa." A discarded hypothesis held that the words for "mother" and "father" had remained largely unchanged from a proto-language from which all modern languages evolved.
The currently favored explanation is that these are the first sounds infants are able to make, with /m/ being slightly easier (and thus developing sooner) than /p/ or /b/, explaining why the primary caretaker (usually the mother) tends to be referred to by words which sound like "mama" in languages all the world over.

December 2, 1974 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD- SENATE s 20283
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I,
too, want to join my distinguished colleagues,
the Senator from Alabama :rOR BusiNESS
(By Pellx 0 . Roho.tyn)
With the country sliding rapidly Into
what appeara to be a ;erloW! recession, suggestions
are being mad!) to revive the Reconstruction
Finance Corpora tton as part or an
overall economic program. Tho Democratic
leadership hrur proposed this step and bas
introduced the necesso.ry Jeglela.tlon.
Revt val of the R.F C. as part or a plan to
get the economy on Its teet Is desirable with·
out any doubt. In the Deprei!Sian years of
the 1930's, the R.F.C. played an Important
role In providing JJquldlty to banks and key
Industries, thereby preventing !allures and a
deepening spiral or the economic downturn.
Howe,ver, !Jlmply recreating the R.F.C. to provide
addJUonal credit to bQrruwers other·
wise unable to obtain It, would be to over·
took key aspects of the actual role played by
the agency and to Ignore ba.~c dltl'erenc<'s
between the ftna.nclnt stntcture of United
Stat~ enterprise then and now. It the R F C
Is to be recreate R.F .C. could
be one of the key Instruments In t h is kind of
approach. By Injecting equity capital where
none Is available In quantity, i t could facilitate
major-restructuring for the public purpose.
For Instance. if a merger or Pnu American
World Airways and Trans WO!'Id Airlines nppears
to be nationally desirable, a $250-mll!
lon equity investment. In the merged company
could nccompllah much. It could cause
the lenders or both corporations to convert
some o! their debt to equity, or reduce carryIng
charges or s tretch out maturities. It could
Insure the merged company's ability to ride
through the storm, achieve Its savings and Pfficlencles
and ultimately be profitable enough
to provide a fair return to the investors
(including the R.F.C.), a viable employer
and pass some savings on In lower fares.
The R.F.C. should, thus, become a permanent
part of our economic es tablishment, not
just as a last -ditch creditor but as a vibrant
Instrument of both rescue as wen as stimulus.
It need not, and should not. be a permanent
investor In any one particular enterprise.
It sl1ould only remain as an investor,
either as a part-owner or creditor, untU such
time as It can, In the public interes t. divest
itsel! of the enterprise In which It Invests
and this Investment Is eligible for normal
market channels or until the markets are
capable of performing their function. The
R.F.C., therefore, should. In effect, become a
revolving fund-hopefully a profi table onewhich
steps In where no alternatives are
available and which steps out when the pubHe
Interest has been served and n ormal
market forces can again operate.
An initial capitalization of $5-bllllon In
commonstock subscribed to by the Treasury,
nnd the authority to issue up to $10-
blllion In United States guaranteed obligations
would provide a major safety !actor to
the economy In the comin g times of perU. as
well as simultaneously taking pressure off
t he banking system. These obligations could
provide a logical Investment for the surplus
dollars of oil-producing count r ies.
Financing the capital subscription should
come !rom the private sector. I t could take
the form of a levy of 1 per cent of pretax
profits of all enterprises ean1lng over $1·
mllllon per annum. This would reimburse the
Treasury's subscription In less than five
The R.F.C. should combine public purpose
with prudent business practice and, with
the proper leadership and oversight, should
accomplish both to the ultimate benefit of
the tax payers.
Its own board of directors should Include
the secretary of the Treasury, the chairman
of the Council of Economic Advisers, the
chairman of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the chairman of the Federal
Reserve System. With a large audience gazing
over its shoulder, Its management wlll have
to practice a degree of asceticism and conform
to standards or an extraordinarily high
order. We should not d espair of that possibility,
however. Other agencies have been
held to such standards • • • the R.F.C. not
to be nble to do the same.
Mr. MANSFIELD. The idea of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation being
reconstituted lies In the fact that it did
operate at a profit, that It did help ailing
business, and It did so on a basis of widespread
knowledge, know-how, and the
technical knowledge to be able to understand
all facets of the requests to be
made for them.
Frankly, I do not want to see Pan
American come to Congress for a subsidy.
I do not want to see TWA come to
Congress for a subsidy, But both need

(3) Batabll hlllp; oredlt pro~dures w a.q to
&Jlocaw credlt on11. priority ba.51s In thellght
of the Nn tlon s crltlcal need.!!
I belteve the Republican leader CMr.
HuGH ScoTTi indicated Ws assent to this
padicular proposal and, I believe, that
this 1:; U1e attitude of the Senate as a
whole I do not know what the position of
the distinguished Senator from Wlsconml
Is, but I thln.l: he is In accord with the
proposal of this kind.
Mr. PROXMIRE. Mr. President, will
the Senator indicate-! missed that
last,:.....what was that?
1 Mr. MANSFIELD. Establishing credit
procedures so as to allocate credit on a
priority basis in the light o! tne Nation's
critical needs.
Mr. PROXMIRE. Well, I have some
ideas along that line. 0! course. In general,
I think the notion ls oJl rlcrht, but I
Ullnk we might have a little difference o!
opinion on specUlcs.
Mr. MANSFIELD. I was Just speaking
In general. I was speaking In specifics
on O> about unemployment benefits and
a Job program.
(4) Implementln& mandatory allocallons
awl, IC need be, the equltt~oble rationing o!
energy, en!orclng other conservation measures.
Including a ba.slc 55-m.Ues per hour
speed Jaw and reducJng wastage In the utU-
2ty and othet Industrial til!ldll to the end
that eed limit observed. And. while I am
aga1ns t the proposal o1 some of the President's
ad"91sers that the tax on gasoline
be raised 10 cents a gallon, 20 cents, 25
cents. 30 cents a gallon, I would be glad
to reconsfder my posillort In the light of
an oventll package which would be specific
and V.hlch \\·ould face up to the
difficulties whiCh confront tbls Nation
We ought to be through with generaliUes
and \'olunteerlsm because neither w111
work and if the people of thts country
thillk they are going to sl1~ through
l'>ecau.se the oll is pounng out rJ1. our ears
t the moment. tb..eY: are mistaken, becarn;
e wh.at. we are facing is a new era, a
new Wm . a ~ge nnd we are going to
\ave to mcxll!y our life ooncept.s accordmgly
So I ho~ t.hu.t somethiqg ,qpeolfic along
these lines, as well a.s t.be others v.hlch I
mentioned, oan be done.
Now, No.5:
formulating a system under which, when
nccued as a J.a&t resort, etrective oontrola can
be unposed to encompass pricee, w~es. rente.,
and profits, 11.nd hlgh Inter~ rates, IIM1ll1ng
that such a system Is deVeloped and enforced
fairly and eqult&bly and w1thout dlscrlmlnAtlon
ln tenn.s of the overall needs or
the Nnllon.
This is a generality, but I think the
concept is plain as to what is mea.n.t,
The distinguished Senn.tor from Wisconsin
has raised some very pertinent
questiOns and paints as to how he woUld
apply each of these factors under such a
program, but I would point out that the
key sentence, or the key part of the sentence
in 5 is, "when needed as a last
resort," then effective controls ought to
be considered.
The senator wa.c; correct when the
Senator said that durlrtg Phase :U wage
and price controls worked and that -as
soon as they were ll!ted everyth.lng went
thro\lgh the roof a.nd still Is going
through th~ roof. It may happen aga:ln.
I do not like wage, price, rent, profit, interest
rate controls, but I do not like 12.2-
percent Jnflation, I do not like 6.2-percent
unemplayment, a.nd I do not like the
trend in both areas which Is up.
I think that the American people are
looking to Congress for relief and initiatives.
The Senator mentioned there woUld be
more Federal control. Yes, there woUld
be, because on the "Qasis of the last depre&
Sion in 1933-and I livoo through
that depression, as did the senator, I
knew what It was having a master's degree
and not being able to get a job
wnshlng dishes, and that depression has
moulded my social philooophy, What did
the Government do to cure that depression,
insofar as it was cured prior to the
war? why, it brought m social security,
unemployment Insurance, all these other
protections The Government just could
not keep out, and the resUlt of that is we
have too much centralized Government
today; too much.
But. we cannot turn the clock back, so
we better face up to the reality of what
the people expect from us and try to do
something accordingly and do it on the
basis of specifics, because the time for
action, it it is not past, is a.lmost upon
us, and, as I sa.ld before, we know for
whom the bells are tolling.
I yield the floor.
Mr. SPARKMAN. Will the Senator
yield to 111e before yielding the floor?
Mr. MANSFIELD. Yes, indeed.
Mr. SPARKMAN. I wa.nt to Sj:I.Y that
I am in agreement with most of the
specifics thll.t the Senator has mentioned.
I go along with the Senator on the Idea
of the reconstituted Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. lt did a. tremendous
job when it was in force before and I
think 1t £PUld do a job again_
I certainly believe that ev~ry effort
ought to be macje with. :reference to cutting
down t.he unemployment, ce:rta!nly
prevepting 14. f1·orn becoming m.ore and
I do not go along with the Senator on
the idee, of aUocatwn of c:redit. Now,
there can be some form of alloca.tlon,
but it is something that will have to be
worked out on the basis of policy b.Y the
Federal Reserve Boa.rd ra.tner than speclf!
caJJ.y moving ahead of time on what
those allocations of credit are going to
be. In other words, It woUld be a policy
action carried out as the need a.rlses
without actual action ahead of time.
I believe that we ougl1t to be greatly
concerned with the job situation and I
think we ought to follow the recommendations
which I understand the
President bas made, whether he has sent
the request here or not, of public employmen~
in order to help relieve that
I remember the old WP A da,ys and I
know what a job it did. We used to mlloke
a lot of jokes about people leaning on
their shovels and ral\lng leaves, things
Qf- that kind. Nevertheless It was a tremendous
force pu1l1ng O)lt Of that terrible
depression through wl:Uch we lived
back in the early l930's.
It took bold action on the part of
President E.oosevelt at that time. I remember
the inaugural address that he
made In 1932 when he first came to the
Presidency. As I recall, lt was only 12
minutes long. I stood on the sidewalk in
my home town ~Ug time until
we worked out of that.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Memo~~ remain.
May I say that my wife, ~ high school
teacher in Butt~-! was going with her at.
the time, she was not my wife thencashed
her insurance to put me through
I thought I bad two job offers after I
graduated, one paid $75 a month-they
make that much in a day now-the other
paid $80. I lost both of them and I got
a job then as a graduate assistant at the
University of Montana for $25 a month
for 10 months and I had to teach two
pretty big freshman classes 5 days a
week. One could not get a job in those
When I look at the Senator from Alabama
ot up.
Mr. MANSFIELD. I am very much
aware of the problem. I am trying to
work out something. Something has to
be done. Some action ha.s to be taken,
and ii agreement carmot be reached,
some action will be taken, and taken
Mr. PROXMIRE. II the Senator wlll
yield for just 1 minute.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Sw·ely.
Mr. PROXMIRE. I say to my good
friend from Montana that I think that
the essence or leadership is to make specltic
proposals of the kind that he bas
made. It is easy to disagree with whatever
Pl"OP06als a.re made, to tear them
down, denounce them, show why they
will not work or why they arc Inappropriate.
It is much harder to come up with
specific proposals. I think that the Senator
from Montana ha.s made It pla.ln
today why he is an excellent leader, why
we all have such respect tor hlm.
I hope that my criticism o1 some of the
proposals that he has ma.de-I agree
with some-does not give him the lmpres.
sion that I a.m in any way critical of
him. I think he is a tlne leader, he would
not be as good a leader as he is.
I think the debate this morning ha.s
been helpful for me and helpful for
other members of Congress, and will be
very useful for the country. I think we
should try to proceed on a vigorous economic
program, but not the program the
Senator from Montana has proposed. We
may modi!y it one way or the other, but
the more we know about It, debate it, discuss
it, and become familiar with it, the
more rapidly and emctently we can proceed.
Mr. MANSFIELD. I say to the distinguished
Senator that I did not take the
criticism personally. I thought that the
Senator was performing a service, as he
always has, because no one in this Chamber,
in my opinion, speaks with better
expertise on things economic that does

I have been working at Heart to Heart Introductions (Maryland) full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Good Atmosphere, good team of people, superb management, and huge database of customers. This company works for the consumer in the matchmaking industry. We are all highly educated with psychology degrees and the company continues to train us at different matchmaking institutes.
Cons – We get paid salary, no commission. I'm unsure why they don't pay us commission. We get a bonus, but that is only when we get a person married.
Advice to Senior Management – I enjoy working for the company, but when you are a consultant it gets tiring and frustrating with no break, it would be nice to give us a little more breaks. Stop with the Up system for clients.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

|Lead-Free Assembly Design for Manufacturability Considerations
|Written by Matt Kelly P.Eng, MBA and Mark Hoffmeyer, Ph.D.
|Tuesday, 29 January 2013 18:37
Design for manufacturability (DfM) violations appear to be on the rise. Component placement densities are increasing, and printed circuit board sizes are maintained or decreasing. The result leads to increased component interactions during assembly and rework operations that can affect first-pass yields, quality levels, and product reliability performance. Increased product functionality using smaller form factors or provision for added functional content within a common and constrained pre-existing system form factor are the primary driving forces behind this trend.
Current Practice
[Ed.: To enlarge the figure, right-click on it, then click View Image, then left-click on the figure.]
Even with IPC-7351B now available, many contract manufacturers building server and storage hardware products opt for their own DfM rules. So although an industry standard exists in this case, it is not widely used.
In this example, multiple DfM rules and protocols exist and must be confidentially managed by the OEM. Although the final system sold to clients has an OEM logo, it is in this case built utilizing three different DfM protocols. It is therefore critical that OEM management of various DfM processes with contract manufacturers are well managed to protect quality and reliability levels expected by clients.
[Ed.: To enlarge the figure, right-click on it, then click View Image, then left-click on the figure.]
PTH components:
CP components:
Of equal importance, keep-out dimensions are required for a variety of assembly tools, including but not restricted to, component placement equipment, heat sink attachment process tools, hot gas rework nozzles, manual hand iron access, and ICT bed-of-nail fixtures.
If rework is required (for whatever reason) operational efficiency, workmanship levels, quality levels, and reliability performance must be maintained.
Figures 3, 4 and 5 illustrate several different component type keep-out area DfM violations as a result of increased component placement densities.
Figure 6 illustrates localized hot gas rework nozzle heat flows and highlights the key risk elements listed above. Figure 7 shows the same heat flow from a top side view perspective. The closer neighbor components are to the target rework site, the greater the risk additional defects can be introduced.
With the transition to Pb-free assembly, it is important to increase card manufacturability priority.

|Eastern-US: China's New Competitor?
Parity emerges among EMS Factories from Asia, Mexico and the US.
For the first time in years we see parity in the Eastern US among EMS factories from Asia, Mexico and the US. This EMS market condition will permit American OEMs (the EMS industry refers to OEMs as customers) to have more EMS pathways to choose from. Now more than ever, such EMS assignments will require deeper investigation relating to the OEMs' evaluation of manufacturing strategies.

The location was a bit far from the main landmarks, but still a walking distance from them, and easily accessible by tram. While the building was very small, our room was quite big and we had everything we needed for a short stay. The only uncomfortable thing was that credit cards were not accepted there.

Information provided states 24hr reception but when I arrived at 10pm the place was locked and there was no reply when I rang the bell. I had no signal on my mobile to call. Luckily some 40 mins later one of the guests returned home and let me use her phone. The owner implied it was my fault because I hadn't left contact details for them to check when I was arriving. If you say you have 24 hr reception then this should be the case. If that guest hadn't arrived I would have been stranded

text: Approved by LightWolf. Atlantis. The city of dreams at the bottom of the sea. A few short weeks ago, the location of the legendary city was discovered. A team was assembled to embark on a journey to the bottom of the ocean. Your goal was to explore the city of Atlantis. A submarine was obtained, and supplies were quickly purchased. Things were all going so well as you set off into the unknown. Weeks later, your submarine comes within a few hours of the lost city. At this point, your communication equipment fails. While it would be possible to repair it, it would require sacrificing time you could instead be using to explore Atlantis. After a meeting, your team decides to proceed with the expedition. You are all reluctant to slow down and relinquish your status as the first explorers of Atlantis. Once you are within a few leagues of the fabled city, something rocks the submarine. Hard. Once this ceases, an inspection reveals that the nuclear reactor has been damaged and needs to be shut down, and you must now run on the power stored in the battery. In addition, the engine has been damaged beyond repair. The submarine's water distillation systems have also been damaged, and will be unable to provide drinkable water. Finally, your ballast has sustained damage. You are slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea. There are pressure suits that you had planned to use to explore Atlantis, and they would allow you to survive an assent to the surface. They even provide a means to reach the surface. However, there are more of you than the paltry number of pressure suits onboard. Not all of you will live to see the surface again. One of those among you has not picked himself up. He isn't moving, and he isn't breathing either. He is already dead. He was: Rules: Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide General Rules 1. While you are alive feel free to talk to other players. When you are dead do not talk to anyone. If you are not playing in the game but have interest in subbing in, make an effort to not learn anything from the players. 2. This game will start on Cycle 0. Role PMs may be exchanged as soon as Cycle 0. Attacks are not valid on Cycle 0, but all other actions are allowed. 3. Do not take spelling or grammatical errors as proof of faking. We are only human and can make mistakes. There are no set number of sentences for intro or action flavor. 4. You may paste things that hosts tell you, but be aware that what we say might not necessarily be the truth. You can fake logs; ask the hosts for assistance if you would like it. Screenshots are disallowed. Do not impersonate hosts or other players. 5. The hosts may, on occasion, lie to you. However, this is likely only going to happen to feed whatever misinformation is already going around, rather than introducing new misinformation. 6. This game uses the Unicycle system for phases; a cycle is basically an integrated day and night. Every cycle will last for 48 hours, though as the game winds down this may be cut to 24 hours at host discretion. The cycle will not end when there is majority. 7. Stealth lynching will be allowed if you can pull it off. 8. To vote you must bold your vote and post "Flavor <alias>". To change your vote please edit your original post with your new vote. You may choose to vote "No Lynch" as well, and any vote towards a dead user will count as "No Lynch". If you would like to vote for nothing but have already voted for something, then unbold your original vote and say something along the lines of it being retracted. In the event of a tie nobody will receive lynch damage. 9. Do not target dead players with your actions. Nothing will happen. 10. Priorities have been set beforehand. Do not ask about them. You will not learn about them until after the game. 11. There are no items in this game. Only claim to be a thief if you are a moron. 12. Please inform the hosts of any spreadsheets, IRC channels, etc that you create. Give us access. 13. Send your PMs to both of the hosts (General Spoon and theangryscientist) so that we can both update. If you are choosing to not use your ability, please submit "CX - Idling". You may send actions over IRC. 14. If a Role PM and the rules clash, the role PM takes precedence. 15. We are the hosts and will be writing the Postgame. It would be wonderful if we had an idea of what is going on, so don't feel afraid to talk to us about your thoughts on the game, though we can neither confirm nor deny any thoughts you have bouncing around in your head. We may also approach you every now and then and ask for your thoughts; if you are busy when we ask just say so and we will leave you alone. 16. If you have a non-information role you will not receive a result, unless your action fails. If your action fails, you will receive a result to this effect. If you think that you should have received a result PM but didn't, please contact the host who performed the last update, or the other host if he appears to be free. Game-Special 1. Only sign up if you will be active. Be active. Make sure you are active. You will lose if you are not active, and your inactivity will hurt any alliances that you have entered into. Nobody likes an inactive player. If we feel that you can become more active, we will send you a warning PM. However, if we do not feel you will become active even if we give you a warning, we may sub you out without warning. Please be active. 2. IRC usage is mandatory. You will lose if you do not use IRC. If the hosts have not seen you on IRC recently, that is a valid reason to sub you out. 3. Every player in the game is a Neutral. All win conditions are "You win if you are alive when A, B, and C are dead." Enemies are mutual; this means that if a player is in your WC, you are in that player's WC. Players will share at most only 1 enemy. 4. This game uses aliases. Every player has an alias. Actions and votes are to be directed at aliases. 5. This game features HP. Every role has a certain amount of Max HP and Attack, and every role starts at its Max HP. Most roles have 18 Max HP and 3 Attack, though there may be exceptions. When a player's HP is reduced to 0, they are dead and eliminated from the game. A player's Current HP can never exceed their Max HP. 6. To attack a player please send a PM to both hosts with "CX - Attack <alias>" in the title. If your attack is successful, <alias> will lose HP equal to your Attack. You may only attack one <alias> a cycle. 7. The alias who receives the most votes in the lynch will take HP damage. The Cycle 0 lynch will do 5 damage, the Cycle 1 lynch will do 10 damage, and the Cycle 2 lynch and all lynches after that will do 15 damage. 8. If your HP changes during the cycle, you will be sent a PM with your updated HP when the cycle ends. If you do not receive a PM, assume that your HP remains unchanged. 9. You will almost certainly lose if you do not work with other players. Etiquette 1. If you sign up to play in this game, you are expected to be active. If at some point in the game you become unable, or unwilling, to be active, let the hosts know so that they can find a sub. 2. Do not ever just vanish with no warning. Be sure to inform the hosts in advance if you will not be able to be online, so that we can find a sub ahead of time. It takes all of 1 minute to drop the hosts a PM. About the only valid excuses for not informing the hosts in advance of your disappearance is if your city is blacked out for days, or you die of a heart attack, or something similar to this. 3. If the hosts get sick of prodding you and telling you to play, you will be subbed out, even if you have been getting your actions in. There is no reason that you should need to be prodded so much the hosts get sick of it.

Anderson has deep respect for No. 42
Angels outfielder admires the accomplishments of Robinson
MILWAUKEE -- When the idea of wearing No. 42 on Jackie Robinson Day recently was presented to Garret Anderson by club executive Tim Mead, the Angels' left fielder and elder statesman experienced an emotional reaction."I personally don't feel I'm worthy of it," Anderson said to Mead, respectfully declining. Mead next took the initiative to Gary Matthews Jr., and the Angels' new center fielder enthusiastically accepted. When Matthews pulls on No. 42 on Sunday in Boston, flipping the numbers normally on the back of his jersey, Anderson will offer his full support -- and remember Robinson in his own way, as he did when he began to come of age as a young man developing a talent for the game Jackie changed on April 15, 1947, when he graced the Brooklyn Dodgers' lineup for the first time. "I know pretty much everything Jackie's done," Anderson said, seated at his locker at Miller Park before a game against the Cleveland Indians. "I look at what he did with his life, using baseball as a platform to accomplish what he wanted socially, and it was bigger than baseball -- much bigger. "He represented equality, not just for black people, but for Latin people and others from across the waters. It was the time of civil rights in this country, and he stood tall and carried a heavy weight for all people. "That's what I take from his life -- and that's why I feel unworthy of wearing his number. I feel it's his number -- it's retired. But if other guys want to do it, I'll tip my cap to them. I don't downplay any of those other players. We all have our own way of expressing how we feel about things." The Angels' franchise leader in games played, hits, doubles, total bases and runs batted in, Anderson grew up in Southern California -- all over the area -- with a single mother moving from job to job. He was constantly being uprooted as a child, living in the San Fernando Valley, Long Beach, Cerritos, the inner city ... wherever his mother could find work. Anderson was a child when he first heard of Robinson. "I was in elementary school, what age, I'm not sure," Anderson said. "My dad played baseball on weekends, and I might have heard it there, about the first black guy who played Major League Baseball. "As I got older and was able to explore it, reading stuff, I began to realize what he tried to do, his role in the whole civil rights movement -- and he became a much bigger figure in my mind. I saw all that, what Jackie meant to society, and I started putting the puzzle together.

After the war, in which his country had lost many soldiers and cities had been devastated, the country was in a great depressed state. Many people were out of work, businesses – if open for business – were struggling and the entire psyche of the country was demoralized as a result. The despair of the country's citizenry deepened with every moment. The citizenry sought change of any kind that would give them some sort of hope for the future.
This man arrived on the scene. He was a great orator who was able to captivate the spirit of his people. Although a rebel and having spent time in prison, it was of no matter to his people as he was so able to inspire their sense of country in their hearts. He was able to bring back the sense of patriotism to his country that was so lacking. He had written a book while in prison that outlined his plan to revitalize his country. Although this volume was not well read throughout the country, its outline for rise of his country was followed by this man religiously.
After winning a place in his country's governing body, he was able, with the help of his followers, to maneuver the rules and policies of his country to meet his own ends. His countrymen didn't seem to mind all of the changes he brought about as he had been, after all, able to inspire his people's pride and sense of worth with all his rhetoric of change for the betterment of his country.
He enlarged the size of his country's military, which was a violation of the agreements reached at the end of the war that had started the decline of his country. Ultimately, he did flex his military might by invading neighboring countries, successfully defeating them and thus further raising the sense of nationalism he had thrust upon his people. His inner circle of cronies grew in power and tightened their grip on control of his country.
Ultimately, this man caused his country to be embroiled in another world war causing even more degradation of his country than the previous world war his country had been instrumental in causing.
This seemingly inspiring man to his country's people was Adolf Hitler. The book was Mien Kampf. He brought about change not only to his country, but to countless others as well. This Pied Piper of change wrought the entire devastation of his people and their country, due partially from the fact that all his people heard was CHANGE.

Comments about Personalized Royce Aristo 6-Slot Watch Box:
I purchased the Royce Aristo 6-slot watch box as a birthday gift for my son who is in his early thirties. The appearance and construction of the box exceeded my expectations. It's handsome and sturdy, and it has been nicely personalized with my son's initials. The box also locks. Each slot provides ample room to securely hold a man's dress watch, and each slot can be easily adapted to hold a bulky sport watch or accessories such as cuff links and rings. My son told me that he likes the box very much and uses it every day.

Comments about Personalized Royce Aristo 6-Slot Watch Box:
Bought this as a Hanukkah gift for my boyfriend. I spent a great deal of time searching the internet for the right watch box; so happy I decided on this one. The quality is amazing - from the leather to the velvet interior. You can tell that it is a piece that will last. I was a little worried about the monogram since it didn't seem to show up very well in the picture, but in person it stands out just enough to be visible without taking away from showcasing the watches. I also really liked that the slots were wider than most boxes I looked at, since my boyfriend likes larger faced watches. All in all, I am 100% satisfied and can't wait to give this to him next month!

Mario Cristobal at the mic
FIU is 2-0 and has UCF, also 2-0, coming to Miami this weekend for the first ever matchup between these programs.
2010 Sun Belt champs versus 2010 CUSA champs. Tough opponent for FIU; but we're 100% confident that Coach Cristobal is not afraid. The man believes in his team and his team has bought in.
Watch Coach Cristobal handle this press conference, he's prepared. No fluff in these answers. He knows the opponent inside and out. Should be a great game.
Field goal block tips
In Saturday's game versus Utah, USC was clinging to a 17-14 lead with seconds remaining. Utah was in position for a 41 yard game tying field goal attempt.
USC offensive tackle Matt Kalil blocks the kick, USC wins.
Take a minute (and five seconds) and watch Kiffin explain the block. A couple of good coaching points in here. Credit special teams coordinator John Baxter who Kiffin calls the best in the business.
Paul Johnson: I remember Kansas in the victory formation
Georgia Tech is 2-0 and has Kansas coming to town this Saturday. You might recall Kansas beat Georgia Tech 28-25 in Lawrence.
In his weekly presser today, Paul Johnson was asked what the most vivid impression he has from that Kansas game last year...
"The end of the game, them taking a knee in victory formation. I remember that."
There was then a 13 second pause before the next question. Silent room. Awkward.
We think Johnson will have his team motivated for this game.
Later, a different reporter asked Coach Johnson if he ever get's tired of answering the question "Can we win with just a passing game?".
Johnson's response was great...
No, not really...it's what you're not doing that people want to talk about...I remember talking to June [Jones] when he was at Hawaii...after a couple of years there, people complained that they didn't run the ball...I really don't think it matters. The bottom line is do you have more points than the other team at the end of the game. And you don't get any more for throwing than you do for running...Actually if you're trying to win the game, which is better a one play 77 yard drive or a 19 play 98 yard drive that eats 8 minutes? I bet you the guys on defense would vote for the second.
Air Force HC Troy Calhoun calls out a writer
The Mountain West held their weekly coaches conference call today. Half an hour in, not much of note. Then, it's was Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun's turn. Reminder, Air Force is 1-1 after losing this past Saturday to TCU.
"And the next question comes from The Mountain West senior writer Mick McGrane..." (editor's note...did anyone realize the conference had a senior writer?)
Here's the exchange.
McGrane: Troy, I was just curious, it seems like everyone is screaming that the sky is falling after Air Force loses one game. How is your kids resolve right now?
Calhoun: Who did you say did?
McGrane: I was just curious as to what your kids resolve is now. It just seems like everybody is screaming that the sky is falling because Air Force lost a game.
Calhoun: Who was that? Who specifically said that?
McGrane: No, it just seemed to be general sentiment. I was just wondering how your kids were holding up.
Calhoun: Is there one or two people that said that? Just throw me a name, one or two of people that have said that.
McGrane: I don't have any names.
Healthy pause...
Calhoun: OK, shoot our kids like to play football.
McGrane: Thank you Troy.
Calhoun: You bet Mick.
As you might expect, McGrane's tone was of rejection at the end; whereas Calhoun's was of confidence. You can listen to the whole exchange if you want at this link (jump to the 30:20 mark).
Spurrier: Navy will play anyone tough...well not Alabama
Head ball coach is always good for a quote. South Carolina hosts Navy this weekend (6PM on ESPN2).
It's always tough to play against Navy's option offense and Spurrier spoke about that today. Some quotes from Spurrier:
Navy might be as good an independent team as their is in the nation.
We're gonna have our hands full slowing these guys down.
Our defensive coaches have been watching how other teams play against the option...
Navy takes care of the ball, gets the most out of their players, very well coached.
Navy will play anybody tough...maybe not Alabama. Alabama seems to know how to stuff people. But these option teams seem to play us well.
Is it important to win pretty..."No"
We took the time to listen to Lane Kiffin's presser from yesterday. He made a few great points in here.
First, at the very end of the press conference a reporter asks Coach Kiffin if it's important to "win pretty after two ugly wins" this week vs. Syracuse. Kiffin, "No. It's important to win and it's important for the team to improve."
Kiffin was also asked about special teams coordinator John Baxter's decision to play starting left tackle Matt Kalil on field goal block (yes, he got the block to save the game vs. Utah). Kiffin's response, "best special teams coach in the country."
Reporter stated that the punts this far haven't been pretty...Kiffin, "you have to look at the whole thing, we also haven't given up a single punt return yard the entire year...we're angling them...the punt may only go 34 or 35 yards; but since there is no return so that's a lot better than when you kick it 50 and they return it 20..."
For what it's worth, Houston is currently leading the nation with a 50.8 net yard / punt (including opponents returning 3 punts for -5 yards). Tip of the cap to special teams coordinator Tony Levine.

Bobby Bowden: I had prostate cancer surgery 4 years ago
This morning, Bobby Bowden is announcing that four years ago he had surgery for prostate cancer but didn't disclose it to anyone other than his family.
Bowden is going public this morning in conjunction with his role as a compensated spokesman for On The Line, a national prostate cancer education initiative.
In making the announcement, Bowden states that he didn't tell anyone about his diagnosis or the surgery for fear that it would impact recruiting. "What I knew was something like that happens to a coach and your opponents find out about it, the first thing they say is 'Don't go to Florida State, Coach Bowden is about to die'."
"If I knew then what I know now, I would have considered it my moral duty to bring it out in the open. I thought it was the right thing to do then, but that's not the message now."
Bowden says he is now cancer free, thanks to the fine work of Dr. Joe Camps. Camps, who played for Bowden, admitted Bowden to the hospital (under a fictitious name) at midnight to keep the secret. The surgery took less than an hour, after which Bowden was brought to a secure part of the hospital for recovery. He was discharged by 5AM.

Ansiprint is a utility for printing text files (or stdin) from remote terminals using ANSI telnet escape sequences. It was inspired by the ansiprt.c component of the University of Washington's excellent email package, PINE. However, since the author believed that ansiprt.c was released under "somewhat ridiculous terms", ansiprint has been completely re-written in C++, and includes a variety of new features.
NFSv4 specifies that the RPC calls be batched into a "compound" call. There is no support for this in RPCGEN. By rearranging the ONC IDL for NFSv4 into AutoGen definitions, these templates will emit the original IDL *plus* all the code to package, send, distribute, collect, return, and dispatch the results. The distributed program author merely needs to call and supply server procedures for the routines specified in the IDL. Templates for these calls and service routines is provided, too. The NFSv4 definitions are included.
CDSA stands for Common Data Security Architecture. It provides a security framework that includes cryptographically signed modules to present an abstracted unified API to the application developer to perform cryptographic and security related operations. It also includes hardware support for cryptographic tokens and biometric devices, such as thumbprint scanners. Intel has implemented the CDSA 2 specification and released it as open source.
clo++ is a command line option parser generator. Given an XML file that contains a description of your program and its options, clo++ can generate code to parse its command line. In addition to code generation, clo++ can also generate man pages. Other languages and output formats can easily be added because clo++ generates its output using templates.
This is a PHP class that attempts to validate a given e-mail address at four levels: matching the address against a RFC compliant regular expression; checking whitelists and blacklists of domains with typing mistakes, disposable email addresses, and temporary and fake domains; verifying the existence of the destination SMTP server by verifying the respective DNS MX record; and connecting to that server to see if the given address is accepted as a valid recipient. The class also features a debugging output option that lets you see the remote SMTP server connection and data exchange dialog to see the real cause why an apparently valid address may not be accepting messages.
Ficl (Forth inspired command language) is an ANS Forth interpreter written in C. Unlike traditional Forths, this interpreter is designed to be embedded into other systems as a command/macro/development prototype language. Ficl provides object extensions that can be used to wrap methods and structures of the host system without altering them.
FreeMarker is a template engine that was originally designed so that servlet-based applications could keep graphical design separate from application logic. The templates provide an easy and highly flexible way to generate any kind of text output (HTML, PostScript, TeX, source code, etc.) from a variety of data sources such as Java objects, Jython objects, XML object models, and more.
HappyDoc is a tool for extracting documentation from Python source code. It differs from other such applications by the fact that it uses the parse tree for a module to derive the information used in its output instead of importing the module directly. This allows the user to generate documentation for modules which need special context to be imported.
ICCLIB implements support for reading and writing of color profile files that conform to the International Color Consortium (ICC) Profile Format Specification, Version 3.4. The ICC Profile Format is a cross-platform device profile format that can be used to translate color data created on one device into another device's native color space. See the profile specification at color.org. In summary ICCLIB provides support for all version 3.4 header elements, Tags, and Tag Types, conversion to/from machine native representation of all data types, user-defined Tags, adding/deleting Tags, Tag type sharing within a file (often used for sharing LUTs amongst intents), reading/writing embedded profiles, a single function for transforming color values through a profile (including support for intents, forward and reverse transforms, gamut lookup or preview lookup), support and code examples for creating all profile types, monochrome, matrix, and Lut, and it loads Tag Types on demand to conserve memory space.

"I wanted to get back to my musical roots," he said, referring to his former days as a guitar player. "I liked the business model and wanted to put my own twist on it and create a place that would foster creativity."
Woody says he picked his location, in the south Sparks industrial district because he really likes the area and was looking for a place off the beaten path. The location he found on Greg Street was perfect for what he was looking to do. After being in the Sparks area for three years, Woody is happy with the location. Its lack of foot traffic and its location near the freeway make the industrial district an ideal place to have a business.
Despite the lack of drive-by business, he is currently at capacity, with every room being filled by word of mouth from the bands that practice in MRC.
"It's a reliable and functional place to play and practice your art. The security is amazing, and the management is over the top in service," said Sam Spivey of Sparks based band Authmentis, when asked about why he chose MRC for his band's practice venue.
Casey Alden, also of Authmentis, says, "MRC is the step that most bands need to take in order to get to the next level. This facility makes being in a band a community effort rather than a garage experience."
The top draw of MRC could be its "Center Stage" room. Currently used for multiple functions, including business parties, seminars, and workshops, MRC officials soon hope to be able to do live streaming and host webinars.
Center Stage was initially designed for live concert-style video production for bands. Gene Larson, who produced video in Vegas showrooms for 20 years through the 1980s and '90s helped Woody design Center Stage.
"It was crafted to have "perfect audio, perfect lighting and thereby perfect videos." Larson says. Every event that is played in Center Stage is recorded in 24-track audio. In the post-production process, Larson tweaks the audio and the video to make bands, artists and businesses look and sound the best they possibly can at a fraction of the cost because everything is pre-wired. Set-up and tear-down for a six-camera shoot only takes about 20 minutes apiece, so Larson and Woody can pass those savings onto the bands.
In addition to Center Stage itself, Woody can call in hair and makeup artists to help bands or businesses get ready for shows.
MRC also works in conjunction with KDOT to do closed concerts that benefit charities. In the afternoons before national acts play at other local venues, they can come into MRC and do an acoustic show for between 50 and 60 people, though Woody and Larson are both adamant that they are not a venue.
"Our feeling is everyone who gets on that stage is a rock star. Whether your signed and touring or not. That's how you get treated at MRC." Larson said.
The rooms bands practice in were built to specification to get the best sound without disturbing practicing bands in adjacent rooms. Each practice room has double-wall construction, nine-and-a-half foot ceilings, is double-sheet rocked, air gapped and equipped with a 20-amp circuit.
MRC boasts a high quality closed-camera security system with cloud backup as well as a drive-in loading bay so bands can drive in and load their gear out of potential elements from poor weather. The doors are always locked. Access to the building is only available with a key fob or by calling Woody for a tour.
"It really is all to cater to the musicians 'cause they have it tough enough as it is." Woody says.
"Being in a band has never been easy but MRC provides a community of amazing artists that have united together in making the music scene something to take notice of," Alden adds.
For tours or to apply to be a makeup or hair artist for MRC, call Bill Woody at 355-9494.

Purchased at iHerb
I have been using Cordyceps for well over 2 years now. The original product I used was quite expense and just became too rich for my blood. Therefore I've switched over to the Paradise brand. I was very happy to find that I benefit on the same level using the Paradise brand as I was with the more expensive product. I notice a significant difference in my endurance and strength during my workout routines when I take cordyceps. My workout routine is vigorous, I run over 6 miles 3xweek and do a hardcore routine of weight resistance and compound exercises that lasts for 75min the other 3 days a week, taking 1 day off for rest. The key to continuously benefit from taking cordyceps, is to take them for 2 months on 2 weeks off. Continue taking them on this schedule and I believe you will always feel the difference. At least I do.
very excellent product with good price

385 N. Main St, Kingston Springs, TN | Directions 3708236.100110 -87.115014
Horrible Service, Alright Food – I went there with a group of family friends and it turned out to be the worst experience with a restaurant I have ever had. The waiter was horrible. He did not introduce himself, was not able to explain the dishes on the menu, and was not able to give me what I wanted for a meal but instead "created" something for me from the kitchen. It was frankly embarrassing for me because of the lack of service and the inefficiency of the meal. The steak was tough and cooked too long in the Steak and Biscuits and the alfredo sauce on the pasta was so heavy that I couldn't finish eating the dish. I realize that we could have had a fluke meal but considering the number of people in my party that had a horrible experience, I can say that I would NEVER go here again.
Great cozy, quaint restaurant – We went based on recommendations and we enjoyed our meal however, not certain we will be back soon. The server,was fantastic and knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. The menu both wine and entree had several items missing. Would like to go back knowing there was a more diversified and extensive wine list. The food was good, especially the pork tenderloin with fig jam wrapped ala beef wellington and the tomato bread pudding served with the brisket were standouts as was the peach cream pie served in a martini glass. Was disappointed that with no other tables seated we were offered a 2 top in a corner near the bathrooms. Did not necessarily understand this choice given it was poorly lit and not really an opportune spot to take in the atmosphere of the restaurant. It was also incredibly cold, bring a cardigan.
My only regret is not visiting Mack & Kate's sooner... – This is THE needle in the haystack. I can't believe I almost let my "fear" of a restaurant in Kingston Springs prevent me from enjoying one of the best dining experiences of my life! My wife and I visited Mack & Kate's for my birthday dinner, and we were both very pleased from start to finish. We started out with the crab cakes ($11), which were cooked to perfection. My wife ordered the scallops ($24) and I ordered the 16oz blackened ribeye ($32). The scallops were presented on a bed of lentils, and my wife was kind enough to share a bit with me. They were amazing! A properly cooked scallop is truly a wonderful thing. My steak was served with pommes frites, and it was prepared exactly the way I like it. The marbling was perfect and the spices were just enough to accent the richness of the steak. Some places think blackened means "douse with spices", but M&K's nows how to let the quality of the product speak for itself. I actually couldn't finish my steak because of it's size. (Well, I also didn't want to miss out on dessert.) We finished our meal with a complimentary birthday pots du creme au chocolate and a chocolate, caramel bread pudding. Both desserts were delicious! The entire staff was very warm and welcoming. It's obvious that these people love what they do! I'm sorry it took us to long to make out first trip to Mack & Kate's, but it most certainly won't be our last. I wouldn't be surprised if my wife chooses Mack & Kate's for her birthday dinner. Here's hoping...
Romantic, Quaint Restaurant with Simply Amazing Food! – This is one of the secret gems of the greater Nashville area. Located about 25 minutes from downtown, this is one of our favorite places for great food and a quaint, romantic atmosphere. It is almost impossible to believe that food this amazing and inspired can be located in the tiny town of Kingston Springs! The service is personal and attentive. The menu changes frequently and features new specials every night. The atmosphere is adorable - I love the open kitchen and white linen tables. - April 2009 UPDATE - we just held our wedding in the side room of M&K's. I cannot possibly say enough great things about Mack and Kate's! Every detail was completed perfectly! They expertly prepared and served dinner for 24 people without missing a beat. Everyone RAVED about the atmosphere, food and service. Jan and Jill made the event easy, elegant and memorable for all involved!
Best Reastraunt – I had a wonderful experience dining at Mack and Kates. The service, food, and atmosphere were beyond that of any other experience HIGHLY RECOMMEND this wonderful place. It is a beautiful drive and a great place to relax and unwind.
Country Roads – After coaxing from my spouse we made the drive to the country for not only incredible food but amazing service. The lamb was exceptional and the wine pairing was perfect. Thanks to the attentive staff of Mack and Kates.
Amazing food to match elegant atmosphere – Mack and Kate's is an extraordinary restaurant with amazing food, welcoming service, and a beautifully exquisite atmosphere. We sampled everything on the menu, and every single bite was delicious. This is definitely a restaurant that should be on everybody's top five lists of places to dine. I can honestly say that Mack and Kate's is the best restaurant I have ever eaten at, and I plan to go back for more fantastic food and service.
A Nashville MUST! – The atmosphere at Mack and Kate's is so warm and charming. The food is AMAZING and is topped off with incredible service. This dining experience is well worth the drive.
A drive in the Country for the best Food we have ever Had! – After dining at their sister restaurant Mackes in Green Hills, we ventured out to the country. We got there just in time to be seated in this charming restaurant before the steady flow of people arrived to indulge in some of the best cruisine available in this state. Unbelievable is all we can say...the staff is truly amazing and the ambiance is quaint and welcoming. A short trip for us 2 exits west of Bellevue we will be making this trip frequently. We were relaxing unhurried and had a truly enjoyable evening. 5 star food with 5 star service what a winning combination!
One of the best restaurants in middle Tennessee! – My wife and I went to Mack and Kate's for Valentine's Day this year. After hearing great reviews from friends, I was expecting a great meal, our experience, however, was beyond great. The restaurant is in the middle of charming downtown Kingston Springs, just a couple of miles west of Bellevue (exit 188 off of I-40). With a romantic atmosphere and excellent service, Mack and Kate's does everything to make your meal one to remember. We started off with the baked gouda, served with wonderful bread and fresh fruits. I've never been a big fan of baked gouda, but I couldn't get enough of this! I then had the 8oz filet for my entree and it was so tender and delicious that it left me wishing that I had another one. The chef prepared a special vegetarian entree for my wife and she loved it. The desserts were just as amazing as the first two courses. Overall, this was definately one of the best dining experiences that I have had in the Nashville area. Jan, one of the owners, goes all out to ensure that her patrons enjoy their night out. I can't recommend Mack and Kate's highly enough, you've got to try it!
