Hurricane Beatriz plowed into the Pacific coast of Mexico near La Fortuna this morning as a Category 1 hurricane with 90 mph winds, bringing very heavy rains and mudslides to a 200-mile stretch of coast. Acapulco reported 5.20" of rain yesterday, and one injury due to a falling free. Hurricane-force winds extend outwards 25 miles from the center of Beatriz, and these winds are likely to cause moderate damage along a 200-mile stretch of the Mexican coast today as the storm moves northwestwards towards Cabo Corrientes. However, the primary threat from the storm will be heavy rain, and the expected rains of 6 - 12" are likely to cause very dangerous flooding and mudslides today and Wednesday morning. Satellite loops reveal that Beatriz weakened significantly over the past few hours, once the eye moved over land. The mountainous terrain of coastal Mexico will continue to tear up the storm today, and Beatriz will likely be a weak tropical storm by the time it moves back out to sea on Wednesday.

Tornadoes, heavy rain slam the Midwest
Severe thunderstorms rumbled through a wide section of the Midwest yesterday, generating numerous tornadoes, baseball-sized hail, and heavy flooding rains. The storm also brought heavy snow to the mountains of Colorado above 9,500 feet, an unusual occurrence for so late in June. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 43 preliminary tornado reports yesterday in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Texas, and North Dakota. The tornadoes mostly avoided populated areas, and only sporadic damage was reported. Perhaps the most significant impact of the storm was the large area of 1 - 4 inches of rain it dropped on Nebraska and South Dakota. This rain will run off into the Missouri River, further aggravating the flooding that has breached two levees and overtopped two other levees in the past week. The large, slow-moving low pressure system responsible for the rains and severe weather will bring additional heavy rains of 1 - 3 inches over portions of the Missouri River watershed today, and will touch off a new round of severe weather today and Wednesday as the storm progresses slowly eastwards. However, the Storm Prediction Center is issuing only their "Slight Risk" forecast for severe weather for both days.

Plans for new apartments along the Buffalo River were approved by the city Planning Board on Tuesday, though a crucial approval from the Preservation Board is still necessary.
Developer Samuel J. Savarino plans to invest $18 million to "deconstruct" the historically significant Erie Freight House on Ohio Street and in its place build Buffalo River Lofts, one- and two-bedroom apartments and office space.
"I think it's phenomenal," said Planning Board member Horace Gioia.
The building is in bad shape, Savarino said, and he hopes that some of the building materials can be repurposed in another building.
The site is not a state or national landmark, but it is a local landmark, and the city's Preservation Board must approve the new development. Savarino avoided saying he is seeking to demolish the property, calling it a "deconstruction," but it's unclear whether the Preservation Board will see it that way.
Preservation Buffalo Niagara has praised the project, but that group does not represent all of the city's Preservation Board members.
City Preservation Board member Tim Tielman said he hadn't discussed the matter with the board but doubted it would grant permission to demolish the structure.
"It's a city landmark. It deserves that status," he said.
Tielman said too much history in the Old First Ward has been demolished.
Savarino hopes the project will open as publicly funded improvements along Ohio Street also are completed and said changes in the design were made in consultation with Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper, which had a goal of adding more activity along the river.
The project won't allow public water access immediately, but the potential is there, Savarino said. The project keeps existing piers.
The project includes 62 one-bedroom units and 16 two-bedroom units. Parking for tenants will be underneath the building, with a screened lot for visitors.
In other business Tuesday:
• Plans for new public housing on scattered sites on the East Side were approved by the board, though two neighbors said they opposed the project.
The Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority is planning A.D. Price Housing Phase III on Peckham, Madison and Spring streets and Jefferson Avenue. The project includes 50 new rental houses designed to last 75 years, which do not look like each other and have features that mimic other houses in the neighborhood.
Two neighbors said they feared what would happen if tenants who are not responsible for keeping up the properties move in. The board stipulated that the Housing Authority consult with a group of neighboring homeowners during and after construction.
• The board asked that plans for a Dollar General at 663 E. Ferry St. be revised to make the site look less like a suburban store. The board requested that the building be moved closer to the street and that the parking spaces be moved to surround the store, instead of putting all of the spaces in front of the store. The store will be affiliated with True Bethel Baptist Church.
• A site plan for a new 4,000-square-foot home on a vacant lot at 136 Middlesex Road was approved.
• Plans for a Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen restaurant at 2106 Elmwood Ave., in front of Aldi, were approved, as were expansion plans for Mount Aaron Baptist Church at 540 Genesee St. and plans for a new CVS Pharmacy at Kenmore and Englewood avenues.

Hopewell-Loudon at North Baltimore
Records: Hopewell-Loudon 2-1; North Baltimore 2-1.
Coaches: Hopewell-Loudon, Jeremy Nutter; North Baltimore, Greg Bishop.
Last week: Hopewell-Loudon took care of Toledo Christian 39-19; North Baltimore topped Elmwood 26-20.
Last year: Hopewell-Loudon won 54-20.
Outlook: It's a new-look North Baltimore team with a new coach, and, according to Nutter, a new attitude.
Nutter said the Tigers are much improved from a season ago, when the Chieftains bashed them in Bascom.
"I think it's a testament to the job coach Bishop is doing over there," he said. "(The players) believe in him and what they're doing, and they're explosive."
In the past, North Baltimore has played well early, but its lack of numbers have given bigger teams an advantage.
But Nutter said that hasn't been an issue from what he's seen.
"Watching the tape, they don't seem to wear down to me," he said.
One of the keys for the Tigers has been the play of quarterback Lane Bishop, who already has thrown for 800 yards and eight touchdowns.
"We're gonna have to play well in space and keep an eye on the quarterback," Nutter said.
H-L's offense has been on point the last two weeks, and a big key to that has been Cody Malone, who has 321 yards on the season.
"He's taking care of the football and not trying to press," Nutter said.
Nutter also praised his defense for its play so far this season.
"Defense has been great," Nutter said. "We've given up some long plays we don't like, but on a down-to-down basis, we're pretty pleased with what we do. "
Upper Sandusky at Crestline
Records: Upper Sandusky 3-0; Crestline 1-2.
Coaches: Jake Moyer, Upper Sandusky; Lee Hurst, Crestline.
Last week: Upper Sandusky dumped Mohawk, 48-19; Crestline beat South Central, 28-22.
Last year: The two teams didn't play each other last year.
Outlook: Moyer is taking a page from Michigan this week.
The Wolverines struggled against an Akron team Saturday that had gone 1-11 in each of the last three years. It took a Michigan touchdown with little more than two minutes to go in the game for the then No. 11 Wolverines to pull out the 28-24 victory.
"This is the kind of team that you can't let them feel good about themselves. If you let a team like this feel good, they begin to feel cocky," Moyer said of Crestline. "Akron had no business being in that game last week. They made some plays and began to feel more cocky. The same thing can happen in high school."
After beating rivals Carey and Mohawk around a real strong Seneca East team, Moyer said the Bulldogs present themselves in the players' minds as a lesser opponent and it's evidenced itself in practice this week.
"We can't take them lightly and not take care of business and mess around in practice. I've had to put my thumb down a few times and I'll do it again (today). It's an instinctual thing. They've been so good the last five weeks preparing for Carey and the next week and the next week," Moyer said. "They can see it's not a particularly strong opponent. It's not a Carey. It's not a Mohawk. To me though, it's red alert time."
Red alert comes in the form of a young Crestline team that has been outscored 117-56 through three weeks and is seventh in the league in total offense. Moyer is not fooled by the numbers.
"I see a team that looks more organized every week. Their offense and defense is more structured every week," Moyer said. "They're very young in spots but have good size."
One of the the young kids is the coach's son, Lee Hurst Jr. The gunslinger has fired four TDs against two interceptions.
"You can tell he's been schooled in the fundamentals of quarterbacking. He's young, but he's going to get nothing but better," Moyer said. "If these kids in Crestline can stick together for a few years, they're going to be a formidable opponent."
Carey at Mohawk
Records: Carey 1-2; Mohawk 0-3.
Coaches: Carey, Todd Worst; Mohawk, Erik Baker.
Last week: Carey roughed up Riverdale 62-12; Mohawk lost to Upper Sandusky 48-19.
Last year: Carey won 40-22.
Outlook: It's a big Midland Athletic League rivalry that will continue next season when both teams move to the Northern 10 Athletic Conference.
Mohawk is hungry for its first win of the season, while Carey got its first win last week.
Worst said his team's thrashing of Riverdale was a step in the right direction for the Blue Devils.
"I think we came out with the right attitude," he said. "I think our kids accomplished what we needed to, executed pretty well in the pass game and the run game. We got better last week."
There were some positives for Mohawk in last week's loss to the Rams, starting with the play of its running backs, Gunnar Johnson and Eric Maskey. Both went over 100 yards rushing and Maskey added three touchdowns.
"Gunnar Johnson and Eric Maskey had great weeks last week ... we have not had that happen since 2010 in the Toledo Christian playoff game with Devin Cartwright and Caleb Coil both going over 100 yards," Baker said.
Worst said he's impressed with the Warriors' defense.
"The defensive front looks pretty good," Worst said. "The front seven played pretty well against Upper.
"I see them being a lot like us right now," Worst said. "They've got some kids working really hard, playing hard enough to deserve a win. We're gonna try to take care of business. Run the ball, stop the run."
As for the Blue Devils offense, Baker said while some things have changed, it's still the same basic principle.
"Carey is still power run and option," he said. "They are just diversifying the formations they use. At their core they are still wishbone."
Baker said Mohawk needs to continue the positives it had last week.
"We need to build on success we had last week on the ground, and improve our pass protection," he said.
Seneca East at Fremont St. Joe
Records: Seneca East 2-1; Fremont St. Joe 2-1
Coaches: Seneca East, Ed Phillips; Fremont St. Joe, Thomas Buckley
Last Week: Seneca East rolled over Monroeville 42-18 while St. Joe topped Gibsonburg 33-13.
Last Year: St. Joe edged Seneca East in the final minute for a 34-27 victory.
Outlook: Last year Seneca East opened up Midland Athletic League play with a heartbreaking loss to the Crimson Streaks. But, even though a core group of Tigers return from last year, revenge won't be the primary motive when the 2014 MAL campaign kicks off Friday in Fremont.
"I haven't even talked to the kids about that," Phillips said. "You hear people talk about revenge and that, but when the balls kicked off, I don't think revenge has any relevance."
Outside of a few pieces, this year's Crimson Streaks hardly resemble last year's high-octane offense. There's new personnel, a new coach and a new style.
"Coach Buckley comes in and emphasizes a power run game. Two backs and under center all the time. They run power football," Phillips said of his counterpart. "They want to run the football. It's his personality as a coach, and the personnel they have suits that personality. The players they do have coming back are a couple of very good linemen and a couple good backs."
St. Joe went from being the top passing team in the league a year ago, to the top rushing team after three weeks this year (252 ypg). Marcus Kerr leads the MAL with 428 yards on 64 carries and five TDs. Mitchell Gonya has also scampered for 215 yards on 44 carries.
"Good pair of them there," Phillips said of St. Joe's backs. "If they just had one, you can focus on one. But, putting them both back there, it gives them a nice dual threat. Makes them more dangerous."
Phillips says St. Joe is similar to the Upper Sandusky team his Tigers played in Week 2 as far as size upfront goes. But unlike the Rams, the Crimson Streaks will keep the defense packed in, instead of spreading it out.
"They're similar that they have good size and good athletes," he said. "In terms of style, Upper spread you out and put a lot of people on the perimeter. ... St. Joe, they pack you in and stay in it the entire game."
Fostoria at Elmwood
Records: Fostoria 0-3; Elmwood 0-3.
Coaches: Jim Kelly, Fostoria; Brian Cooper, Elmwood.
Last week: Sandusky Perkins beat Fostoria 65-6; North Baltimore beat Elmwood 26-20.
Last year: Elmwood won 14-6.
Outlook: Someone's losing streak will come to an end. Both teams enter Northern Buckeye Conference play at 0-3, with Fostoria in midst of a 13-game losing streak and Elmwood's last win coming in the second-to-last game last year.
"They're kind of a young team like we are, looking to get a win. They're not gong to fall asleep, here," Kelly said.
"Elmwood presents challenges for us, but we hope the level of competition we've been playing has prepared us for them," he said.
Some of that preparation has come at the expense of youth.
The Redmen were forced to play many youngsters in last week's lop-sided loss, with only a few bright spots.
One was freshman Tysen Latta leading everyone with 118 yards on eight carries, with one fourth-quarter rush covering 76 yards for Fostoria's lone score. The other was team effort.
"Tysen got in, he's got a lot of speed. When you're playing all the young guys we were playing, it's a challenge for them," Kelly said.
"Our guys, young guys, they all were still flying to the ball deep in the fourth quarter and I think that shows a lot about them and that's something we can build on," he said.
They'll get another challenge Friday, Kelly said.
Elmwood's Austin Isaacs ran for 182 yards and two touchdowns against North Baltimore, and Aaron Arnold is a two-way threat as a back and receiver.
"They've got a couple backs who run the ball hard. Their run game is where it starts for them. We realize that's the main concern," Kelly said. "Up front, they're a pretty big team. We just have to play fundamental football - tackle, keep things in front.
"They do have [offensive] weapons that we certainly have to account for," he said.
Buckeye Central at Wynford
Records: Buckeye Central 1-2; Wynford 1-2.
Coaches: Buckeye Central, Jeff Niedermier; Wynford, Gabe Helbert.
Last week: Buckeye Central lost to Plymouth 27-21; Wynford lost to Crestview 26-21.
Last year: Wynford shut out the Bucks 34-0.
Outlook: Despite the fact that Buckeye Central and Wynford have identical records, Niedermier knows his squad is the underdog.
Part of it is the dominance Wynford has held in the North Central Conference over the years. Part of it is BC's struggles since last season.
Regardless, Niedermier has been in this position before, as a player.
"Every team's beatable, no matter what people say," Niedermier said.
The BC coach brought up when he was a guard on Buffalo's 2008 football team. Buffalo advanced to the Mid-American Conference title game, and was heavy underdogs.
"We went into MAC championship against an undefeated Ball State team and we went in and beat them," Niedermier said.
But the coach said the Bucks beating the Royals will not be easy.
"They're still a very sound team, well-disciplined, well-coached," Niedeermier said. "Not a big difference between this year and last year."
The Bucks have had success in recent weeks running the ball. Alec Baldosser had his second consecutive big game, rushing for 170 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to Plymouth.
"We have to establish the run like we have been doing and go at them and attack them," Niedermier said.

The University awards graduate assistants each year on a competitive basis to graduate students in support of their efforts to obtain a graduate degree. Graduate assistants may serve as teaching assistants, lab assistants or research assistants.
Assistants awards vary by department depending on the nature of the assignment and may include a monthly stipend, tuition and fees. Full-time graduate assistants must be enrolled for a minimum of nine (9) semester hours of graduate work each semester and are expected to devote their time and service solely to their graduate studies and graduate assistants assignments, and may not be employed elsewhere during the course of the assistants.
The standard assistants stipend for full-time graduate students is $10,000 per academic year. Assistants may also be available for part-time graduate students, depending on the needs of the academic department. In such cases, the stipend and assignment will be less than that of a full-time graduate assistant.
Assistants applications are submitted to the academic department or graduate program; recommendations are forwarded to the Office of Graduate Studies for approval. Appointments are normally for one academic year or less and may be renewed provided funds are available and that the student's academic performance – as well as performance in carrying out the responsibilities of the appointment – is satisfactory.
• Be a degree-seeking graduate student with Unconditional Admission status.
• Have a graduate GPA of 3.0 or better.
• Be registered for at least 9 semester hours that can be counted toward the graduate degree in the long session and 3 semester hours during a summer term.
• Have a Program of Study completed and on file in the Office of Graduate Studies.
• The maximum amount of time allowed for assigned duties is 20 hours per week.
• The period of appointment may not exceed one academic year but may be renewed.
• A graduate student is limited to a total of four long-term academic semesters as a graduate assistant.
Additional and more rigorous conditions may be imposed by the Academic Department or Graduate Dean. It is the responsibility of the Academic Advisor and the Office of Graduate Studies to monitor the student's progress toward meeting the conditions.

A Decent Pen
By Amafortas
from Undisclosed
The True Writer Silver Anniversary Ballpoint is a good looking pen with decent action, and takes a variety of refills. Levenger's Easy-Flow refills are particularly nice the flow well and lay down a rich well-saturated line of ink. The refill that comes with the pen is no slouch either.However, there seems to be a small design problem with diameter of the opening at the pen's tip. The opening is slightly wider than the refill; consequently, the refill clicks against the side of the pen each time it touches the paper. I've checked my other high-quality ballpoints and they don't have this gap around the point of the pen. I've sent one pen back already and received a refill from Levenger's customer service, which is excellent by the way. Unfortunately, the replacement has the same gap and the resulting clicking.On the whole, this is a decent pen that would be among my favorites if the refill fit the pen's tip a bit more tightly.
Happy Anniversaries

Inspired by Dapper Dan and his "magic wand" description, I purchased this pen for Christmas and our 25th wedding anniversary. It's lovely and sparkly--and warm because I wear it. It helped me through a grading session, as a bribe.
All that glitters
By DapperDan
from Fort Lauderdale, FL
Talk about a wow factor...this gorgeous gunmetal ballpoint gleams and glitters like a jewel when I'm writing...it's my new magic wand! The etched pattern on the barrel catches the light and creates a subtly dazzling effect. The pen is a bit weightier than my other True Writers--it's solid brass rather than the usual lightweight resin--and it feels great in the hand. Happy anniversary, Levenger--you have another winner here, an elegant, tasteful design that rivals pens with much, much higher price tags!

Daniel Ezralow, the man behind the choreography for the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, is taking on part of the opening ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, on Friday – an action-packed show that's been a year in the making.
The L.A.-based choreographer, who has worked on stage, film and TV, has been tasked with the centerpiece of the ceremony: a 20-minute segment on 20th-century Russia. Here he tells PEOPLE what viewers should know about the opening ceremony.
A Cast of Hundreds
The show includes 80 professional dancers and more than 700 volunteers, with lots of behind-the-scenes help. "I brought three assistants from America, and once I got here I got three translator assistants, and then I have another group of about three or four that assist me in terms of the volunteers," he says.
Accentuating the Russian Positive
"There will be a lot of wonderful things: the art of Russia and the beauty of Russia, and it's exciting," says Ezralow. As for whether the ceremony will address the international criticism of Russia's policy towards gays, Ezralow says, "If we choose as humans to only focus on the negative, we will only see the negative."

Don't forget to Look Up
"There's a lot of aerial stuff – it's not so much human beings but there's stuff in the air," says Ezralow. "My choreography is very physical. And there's also a lot of irony. I love to take things and twist them in a lighthearted way, and there is definitely a section that has a lot of joy to it."
Some Familiar Tunes
"There's a lot of really great songs that are very well known and wonderfully powerful," says Ezralow of the soundtrack. "I was able to combine a lot of very, very famous Russian tunes that I found a lot of people here are connected to."
Awe – Not Shock
"I am not here to make a political statement with my work, I am not here to show you how terrible or tragic life can be, I'm here to inspire you," says Ezralow. "I'm moving to move you. Hopefully I was able to serve these opening ceremonies in a way that inspires the world."

SALEM - A lot of people came to see Salem discus thrower Anthony Shivers. They left impressed with the whole team after watching the Salem boys' fifth straight county championship.
The Quakers scored 53 points in the field events on the way to victory in the 110th annual Columbiana Country Track and Field Meet at Reilly Stadium on Tuesday.
Salem totaled 156 points, followed by United with 141. It is the Quakers' ninth title in 10 years.
"We gave them jobs yesterday," Salem boys coach Todd Huda said. "They all did what they needed to do except for the 100."
Shivers, who broke his meet record in winning his third straight discus title, was overheard by Huda on Monday asking what needed to be done for the Quakers to take the county title.
"That's the third best thrower in the country and he's worried about winning the county," Huda said.
Shivers took high-point honors in the field events again with wins in the discus (191-6) and shot put (a personal-best 51-1 1/2).
"I knew I had to do well in both events for us to do well as a team," Shivers said. "Coach told me in the virtual meet, we were behind."
Senior Zack Wukotich defended his title in the high jump (6-4), while junior Haedan Panezott was a surprise winner in the 100 dash (11.59).
"I knew it was going to be close," Huda said. "I was impressed with our kids - the way they came back after losing 10 points in the 100."
"We knew it was going to be tight," Panezott said. "We put our guys in the places they needed to be."
Salem's Marcus Crittenden - who was favored in the 100-meter dash after Crestview's Nick Blower did not run due to a strained hamstring - false started in the preliminaries.
"I was a little shocked because we were running 1-2," Panezott said. "That's the first time he ever DQ'd. I knew the pressure was going to be on me."
He leaned at the finish for the victory.
"I held up a little in the prelims and I knew I had a lot left," he said.
Panezott believes he hit his toe after the finish and took a spill, scraping his back, shoulder and hip.
"I think it took me by surprise," Panezott said. "I've been hit pretty hard in football, but I've never had a scrape like this."
He also teamed with Paul Matak, Logan Taylor and Crittenden to win the 400 relay (44.76) and Ryan Bush, Matak and Crittenden to win the 800 relay (1:32.7).
"Panezott did a great job," Shivers said. "He was really cut up."
"Haedan winning the 100 was huge. We came in thinking third or fourth," Huda said. "Caleb Quinn had a PR in the 110 hurdles and Eli Bricker had a 4-foot PR in the shot put."
Quinn successfully defended his 110 hurdles title (15.25), while Blake Veglia, Cameron Turney, Daniel Rumsey and Bush captured the 1600 relay (3:31.77).
Salem opened up a lead in the field events and held on, despite being outscored 38-5 by United in the three distance races.
"Those guys toughed it out for us," Huda said.
Salem has won 15 of the last 16 county titles contested at Reilly Stadium.
"I'm proud of my team," Shivers said. "Track really is an individual sport. But we pull for each other and have great chemistry. That showed today."
Meet notes
United was led by sophomore Riley Fillman, who won the 300 hurdles (40.35) and long jump (21 4/ 3/4).
United senior Cole Weikart won the 800 run (2:06.22).
East Liverpool senior Nate Boyer took high-point honors in the running events with 27 1/2 points.
He was first in the 1600 run (4:41.93) and 3200 run (10:37.7), fourth in the 800 run and third in the 3200 relay.
"We didn't know if someone would help us (take points from United in the distance events)," Huda said. "Obviously, the Boyer kid is great. We knew he was going to win at least two of those."
East Liverpool finished third in the team standings with 98 points.
"They were way better than I thought," Huda said.
Zack English was East Liverpool's other winner in the 400 dash (51.9).

A showerhead is a relatively inexpensive item. Basic showerheads cost less than $5 and prices go up depending on the features you desire. A good quality massaging showerhead will cost $20 - $35. All showerheads manufactured in the U.S. must use 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) or less.
The water, wastewater, and energy saving benefits you get from installing a new showerhead is primarily determined by your current showerhead. If you have a high flow showerhead – say 5 gpm or more – you will probably pay for your new showerhead out of water, wastewater and energy savings in one year or less. However, research has shown that these high flow showerheads are not that common anymore.

If you are looking for inexpensive ways to save water, a showerhead isn't a bad bet and you may save a little on your energy bill as well. But don't expect the same level of water savings that you might achieve from replacing an old inefficient toilet.

Redshirt-freshman Brian Pegg has really stepped up as a key rebounder in his first full season with the Stetson men's basketball team. Pegg has led the Hatters in rebounding throughout the season, which includes a 15-rebound break out game against Jacksonville last week, but his intense play was never more crucial than in Stetson's victory over USC Upstate on Saturday.
The Hatters faced a very strong rebounding team in the Spartans. Prior to the game, Upstate was ranked first in the Atlantic Sun Conference during league play, averaging seven more rebounds than their opponents. Upstate senior forward Torrey Craig was leading the conference with an average of seven and a half rebounds per game.
Nonetheless, Pegg and the Hatters came prepared. They outrebounded the Spartans 41-39. Pegg, who was the top rebounder in all of the A-Sun for the day, had 13 rebounds in the game.
Pegg began his dominance on the boards in the first half, which included back-to-back plays in which he pulled down defensive rebounds and finished one on the other end with a dunk. By halftime, Pegg had six rebounds, four points, two assists, and a steal.
In the final minutes of regulation he proved even more vital to the Hatters' success. Pegg grabbed two crucial rebounds and knocked down a free throw, putting the Hatters down by only two points. With under a minute left on the clock, Pegg tipped in a missed shot to tie the game 70-70 and sent it into overtime, where Stetson ultimately emerged victorious.
"I'm asking Brian to do a lot in that four position, especially when you see those big guys he's having to contend with," Stetson head coach Corey Williams said after the game. "He's playing a lot of minutes, and he has to sustain that effort for a long period of time. And just think, he's just a freshman, and that's what you have to keep reminding yourself."
Pegg is now ranked second for rebounding in the Atlantic Sun during conference play with 8.7 boards per game. The rest of the top five are all seniors, making Pegg the only underclassman.

Mini of Charleston driver Robbie Davis took the checkered flag for two out of three Pirelli World Challenge Series races held in Lakeville, Conn. July 4th weekend.
The same rain that swamped the entire East Coast leading into the holiday weekend created some steamy conditions and hot racing action at Lime Rock Park, the famous 1.53-mile road course where rounds four through six were held.
The MINI of Charleston/MINI USA/MINI Financial Services MINI Cooper team carried Davis to a fourth place qualifying position for the first 25-minute sprint race. Starting on the pole was fellow MINI driver Johan Schwartz (Denmark) in the Sneed Speed MINI Cooper, and rounding out the Top 3 were Joel Lipperini (Pittston, Pa) in a Honda Fit and Ernie Francis, Jr. (Davie. Fla.) in a Mazda 2.
Early in the race the MINIs of Schwartz, Davis and Charlie James were able to pull out a lead on the rest of the field. When Johan's MINI suffered a mechanical problem, Davis took the lead, but was still pressured by James and Francis. However the duo of Francis and James (entering the weekend first and second in the championship points) had some racing that was too close and Francis went into the guardrail, ruining his race and points lead. Davis maintained the lead, winning his first Pirelli World Challenge TCB win, with James (Joplin, Mo.) finishing in second and Tyler Palmer (Oceanside, Ca.) finishing third in his MINI Cooper, making it a 1-2-3 MINI sweep of the podium.
In the second sprint race, Davis grabbed the class lead at the start and stayed out in front for a flag-to-flag win and his second PWC victory. Tyler Palmer found additional speed in the second race and was able to get around Charlie James and pressure Davis, but could never get close enough to threaten a pass. MINIs again sweep the podium positions, with James and Palmer switching places for a Davis/Palmer/James finish.
The sixth round featured James with the pole from turning the fastest race lap in the fifth round and Davis next to him. Coming through the field with great drives were the Honda of Lipperini and the Mazda of Francis. Lipperini was able to grab the top spot and lead for many laps, but Davis hunted him down and made a pass for the lead. However, Davis was unable to hold the lead, with his tires going away causing handling problems. James battled Francis and suffered a wreck when lapping a back marker. Davis spun twice late in the race and finished eighth. Luckily for the MINI camp, Tyler Palmer again had a great race and put his MINI in third behind winner Lipperini and second-place Francis.
With Francis' problems on Thursday and James' accident Saturday, Davis and the MINI of Charleston team used the 2 victories on July Fourth to lift Davis into the Championship Points lead.
The full race videos are available at http://www.world-challengetv.com/ or the two-hour race recap show will air on the NBC Sports Network on July 20th at 4 p.m.
In other Mini of Charleston news, the SCCA Nationals Majors Tour Eastern Conference wrapped up its season in June at Watkins Glen, N.Y. Father and team manager Brad Davis and son Robbie Davis were awarded trophies as their class champions and both also clinched SCCA Southeast Division Championships, Brad in H Production and Robbie in B Spec.

SALEM - The city of Salem welcomed a new police chief, a new sergeant and a new patrolman during a swearing-in ceremony Thursday morning, with Sgt. J.T. Panezott becoming Chief J.T. Panezott after a short oath and a handshake.
Sgt. Brent Slider earned his stripes after scoring the highest on the promotion exam taken last year by patrolmen and Ptl. Mike Garber took his oath as a new full-time officer.
Salem Mayor John Berlin administered the oaths to all three men and also held a ceremony to award outgoing Chief Bob Floor his service pistol. Floor's last day is today after 30 years with the Salem Police Department. Today is officially Panezott's first day as chief.

Panezott pose for photos after a swearing-in ceremony Thursday in city council chambers at Salem City Hall. Slider was promoted to sergeant, Garber was hired as a full-time patrolman and Panezott was promoted to chief, with the mayor doing the honors. Panezott takes over today from Chief Bob Floor, whose last day is today. (Salem News photo by Mary Ann Greier)
"I'm thrilled that so many people came in support," Panezott said, noting the presence of his family, members of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Columbiana County Drug Task Force, fellow Salem officers, officers from other departments and public officials. "Everybody here is like family."
Panezott's wife, Lisa, and their two sons, 10-year-old Justin and 7-year-old Braden, stood next to him as he recited the oath. His parents, John and Peg, were in the audience.
"Our guys are going to continue to do the best for the community...we're going to be very community-oriented," he said.
A Salem High School graduate, he earned a bachelor's degree in law enforcement administration from Youngstown State University in 1987 and went through the Salem Police Academy run by former Chief John Sommers in 1988. He was hired by Sommers as a patrolman on July 19, 1989 and was the first Salem officer assigned to the DTF when it was formed in January 1992, serving as its director from its inception until Oct. 1, 2000 when he was assigned to the DEA. He made sergeant on July 21, 1995 and has been with the department more than 23 years.
Slider, who has been with the department full-time since July 8, 1999, actually started part-time on May 10, 1996. He also worked part-time for three years in New Waterford and was a reserve deputy sheriff while going to the Salem Police Academy as part of the last class in 1994. He's a 1990 graduate of Lisbon David Anderson High School.
"I'm just happy to serve the city. I have a good group of guys to work with and I'm looking forward to the future," Slider said.
His wife, Megan, pinned on his new badge. Other family members present included their son Kaiden, Slider's mom Cody Hill and stepdad Dwayne Hill, and his wife's mom Diane Tracy and father Mark Getz. The Sliders are expecting another child in July.
Garber just returned to working part-time for the Perry Township Police Department in November after a combat tour with the U.S. Army Reserves in Afghanistan. He also served a combat tour in Iraq and in a number of other places and will retire later this year after many years with the Reserves.
He graduated from Edison High School in 2003 and went to the Jefferson Community College Police Academy, getting his first part-time patrolman job in Mt. Pleasant in 2004. He also worked part-time for Wellsville and Salineville, where he eventually worked full-time.
Garber said he's excited about joining Salem and said he'll be working with a great group of guys.
Toronto Police Chief Randy Henry pinned on Garber's new badge, with Garber crediting him as being one of the first people to get him interested in police work.
"He's been a role model and he's like a second father to me," he said.
Floor said he's excited for J.T. and the department and said they're going to do well. He thanked the mayor and Service/Safety Director Ken Kenst for arranging for him to keep his service pistol.
Berlin said he was just proud to be able to do the ceremony because swearing in a police chief doesn't happen that often. Floor's retirement and plans to reassign the officer whose working part-time as a supervisor and part-time for the DTF to full-time with the DTF have set off a domino effect in the police department.
With Panezott promoted to chief, Sgt. Chris Gallo, who's been with the department since Dec. 9, 1996, has been assigned to the DEA, opening up the sergeant's supervisory position that Slider filled and allowing Garber to become a patrolman.
Once Sgt. John Scheets, who joined the department on Sept. 15, 1989, becomes full-time with the DTF as planned, another spot will be available for a promotion to sergeant and another patrolman vacancy will become available. When all is completed, the department will grow by one officer, from 19 full-timers to 20 full-timers.

The North Tahoe basketball teams split their Mount Rose League games against visiting Sparks on Tuesday, as the girls won 47-38 and the boys lost 61-34.
The Laker girls started out slowly before heating up in the final two quarters, when they began creating steals that led to fast-break layups.
"We had a four-point second quarter, but we hung in there and played good basketball in the second half," said North Tahoe coach Rick Buhler. "We just started executing what we were supposed to do."
Sara Trimm led the Lakers with 18 points, while Angela Wood contributed 16 points in the win.
North Tahoe is now 7-9 overall and 1-4 in Mount Rose League play. Sparks is 1-11 overall and 1-5 in league, with its one win coming against Whittell.
In the boys game, the Lakers played the larger Railroaders tough in the first quarter, trailing only 17-11. But Sparks took control with a 14-6 second quarter to carry a 31-17 lead into the half. North Tahoe battled back with 11 points to Sparks' 14 in the third quarter before emptying the bench in the fourth.
Senior forward Colin Spencer led the Lakers with 14 points, while Mitchell Myers and Alex Tyler scored seven points apiece.
North Tahoe coach Frank Wright complimented the play of freshman Nick Joslin, who he said played "a heck of a game defensively" and is starting to turn a corner against varsity competition. Omar Vargas also played a solid game off the bench, Wright said.
Bobby Brown led Sparks (11-8, 5-2) with 14 points.
The Lakers are now 8-10 overall and 2-3 in Mount Rose League play.
UP NEXT: North Tahoe is scheduled to host Whittell on Friday, girls at 6 p.m. and boys at 7:30.

On our way home it was night and Gray marveled at the Christmas lights (a neon shirt and tie in a dry cleaner's window, a glowing hamburger in a diner). Any lights this time of year are Christmas lights to little him.
The city has a mouthful of buildings as tall as the clouds and thousands of sparkly scales were lit as we drove by. Through shiny tunnels and steel bridges and long, long roads taking us back to our warm, colorful home.

"I am doing it until they change their mind," Baldwin, 51, said at the film Academy's Governors Awards over the weekend. "I do have some preparations, but it is a secret."
Besides, he says, he won't be up there alone. The Emmy-winning star of 30 Rock is co-hosting with Steve Martin, 64, who's done it twice.
"It is all on Steve," joked Baldwin. "Steve Martin has done this before, while for me it is the first time. All the pressure is on Steve Martin."
Baldwin was a surprise attendee at Friday's dinner, where honorary Oscars were handed out to such recipients as screen legend Lauren Bacall and B-movie king Roger Corman.
The 82nd Academy Awards will be broadcast Sunday, March 7, on ABC from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

White Owl Whisky
Review: White Owl Canadian Whisky 88.5/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted March 4, 2010 (Revisited July 15, 2013)
Three years ago a new whisky was produced in Canada which was completely different from any other whisky I had seen. For one thing, the distillation mash for the whisky was based primarily upon wheat, not barley, corn, or rye. (This was not as surprising as you may think, as the distillers of White Owl Whisky are Highwood Distillers, based in High River, Alberta. They have, after all, been distilling their very wonderful Centennial Whisky with a wheat based mash for many years.) However, it was the next feature of the whisky which I found most interesting and unusual. White owl is a clear, well-aged, 'cocktail' whiskey! In fact if the bottle did not say whisky on the front you would be forgiven for believing this was an Ultra-premium Vodka, until you opened the bottle, at which time you would realize that the spirit inside is unmistakably whisky!
The whisky achieves its clear form by the means of carbon filtration. Highwood crafts and blends an aged whisky, and then runs it through a filtration process to remove all colour and smooth out the taste profile. This is a first for me, and I believe a first for well-aged Canadian Whisky!
I was lucky enough to receive a sample bottle directly from the distillery after touring the facility three years ago, and today, as the good folks at Highwood Distillers are hard at work cleaning up after the recent flash flood which affected their town and their distillery (read here), I thought it would be nice to revisit my review of three years ago. (after a few tasting sessions I recognized that the whisky had not changed in any significant way during the past three years and as a result my revisions were really just corrections of the grammatical errors I found in the original review)
In the Bottle 5/5
Every person to whom I have shown the whisky bottle has had the same reaction…cool! Although the frosted glass design has been used for other spirits, this is definitely a departure for a Canadian whisky bottle. There is a clear area in the frosted glass around the snowy owl logo. It is evident that the whisky inside is free of colour before the bottle is open. What the picture does not show is the high quality synthetic cork used to seal the bottle. Attention to detail bodes well for White Owl Whisky.
In the Glass 8.5/10
As I pour the whiskey into my tasting glass, I hold it up to the light and against various backgrounds trying to catch just a smidgen of colour, but I am unable to find any. When I swirl the glass, I see a thin film that quickly trails skinny legs back down. This indicates a little softness, and a little oiliness in the spirit. The aroma from the glass has a very mild spring flower bouquet. Light Canadian whisky aromas of rye and oak spice rise in this bouquet with a touch of vanilla and honey. Dancing amidst the floral arrangement is a mild licorice which reminds me of anisette. What I do not smell is any quantifiable aromas of oak sap or heavy caramel. The aroma is light, mild, and mellow.
In the Mouth 53/60
As I take the first sip, the first impression I have is of a soft whisky flavour accented by a hint of licorice. The oak flavours are mild and there is no harsh tannin or unbridled spice. Yet in the background, if you let it develop, that true Canadian rye whisky spice and flavour present themselves. Butterscotch rises and falls as does the hint of licorice and even a touch of cereal grain. It is all very mellow and very good; but I must be a patient to coax out of the flavours. In the end, I decide that if one imagines a very gentle rye whisky, and marries this to an ultra-premium Vodka, then White Owl Whisky might be the result. This should not be surprising because the base of this spirit is wheat, which is softer than barley or corn and wheat makes wonderful Vodka.
I must comment a little here on one aspect of the taste that might be overlooked. This mellow subdued flavour has a real benefit for Mixology. The whisky worked well in every cocktail I tried that called for white rum, or Vodka. In fact White Owl presents a very interesting twist on Rum drinks, and a tremendous depth is added to Vodka cocktails. There is just enough flavour to add real character to the cocktail experience. It is going to be very fun to try to find the mixing range for this whisky.
In the Throat 13/15
This has a long clean finish. There is practically no burn and very little aftertaste. The trails of flavour left in my throat are only faint whispers melting away. The palate is left with a coaxing wispy sweetness of a disappearing honey.
The Afterburn 9/10
This whisky is so different from any I have tried before that scores were hard to quantify. What do I judge the whisky against? In the end I must fall back on my own methodolgy. Each part of my review method attempts to quantify the enjoyment I receive from each part of the whisky drinking experience. So that is what I have done. I am not comparing this against other whiskies, rather I am comparing it against the enjoyment I received from other whiskies. The strength of White Owl Whisky is its soft approachable flavour and its strength as a mixer. This has me really excited, and that is why this area of the review scores so strongly.
You may read some of my other Whisky Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
Suggested Cocktail
I am going to suggest that any classic cocktail which calls for white rum or vodka can be enjoyed equally well with White Owl Whisky.
Take the simple but elegant Daiquiri and sub out the white rum, tweak it just a little and we have the Highwood Gimlet:
The Highwood Gimlet
2 oz of White Owl Whisky
1/2 oz Fresh squeezed lime
1 – 2 teaspoons of simple syrup (dissolve 1 tsp sugar in 1 teaspoon of hot water and cool)
Stir in Ice and strain into a rocks Glass
Garnish with a slice of Lime
The White Owl Whisky adds a significant amount of depth to this simple cocktail.
Another Quintessential Rum Cocktail is the Cuba Libra, of course I made a version with White Owl Whisky instead, which I call The Free Spirit:
1 1/2 oz. White Owl Whisky
2 to 4 oz Coca Cola
Lime slice
2 – 3 Large Ice Cubes
Build the The Free Spirit over ice in a rocks or highball glass
Rub the lime over the edge of the glass
(optional) Drop the lime in and stir
Garnish with a wedge of lime
Or take the classic modern vodka cocktail, The Cosmopolitan:
My handy dandy cocktail book, 1001 Cocktails: 1001 Recipes for the Perfect Drink (Hardcover) ~ Alex Barker (Compiler) gives the recipe for the Cosmopolitan on page 178. I followed the lead in Alex Barkers book, tweaked it for the White Owl Whisky and came up with what I call Country Roads:
Country Roads
2 ounces White Owl Whisky
1 ounce Cointreau
1 ounce Cranberry juice
1/2 ounce Lime Juice
Shake in a metal shaker with ice and strain into a chilled glass.
Garnish with a flamed Orange zest
Again, the White Owl Whisky adds depth to the cocktail; but does not change the overall essence of the original .
I call this cocktail The Albertan.
The Albertan
2 1/2 oz White Owl Whisky
2 oz grapefruit juice (Fresh Squeezed)
1 1/2 oz pineapple juice
1 tsp simple syrup (dissolve 1 tsp sugar in 1 teaspoon of hot water and cool)
1/2 oz triple sec
Build over ice and stir
Strain into a chilled glass
Serve with a lemon wheel garnish
(The grapefruit juice goes so well with this whisky.)
The last cocktail I constructed uses White Owl Whisky and Gin in a marvelous sipping combination with Grapefruit Juice; I call it the Spirit of High River.
2 oz White Owl Whisky
3/4 oz Gin
2 oz Grapefruit Juice (Fresh Squeezed)
1/4 oz Luxzardo Maraschino Liqueur
1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar syrup
Shake in a metal shaker with ice and strain into a glass of your choice
Garnish with lime
Of course you recognize the that this cocktail is named after the Town of High River where the Highwood distillery is located.
These Cocktails are just the tip of the iceberg for White Owl Whisky. I am sure to discover many more.
As always you may interpret the scores I provide as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

My only regret with this whisky is I waited too long to finally buy it! I mean a clear whisky? Finally I said , What the hey, nothing ventured nothing gained! Plus they're practically neighbors! It has become my favorite! Just a little water with White Owl and ice— wonderfully tasty for sipping away the stress of the day!
March 5, 2011 at 8:25 pm
It is different but not bad by any means. However being a Canadian that prefers bourbon over rye its not for me.
December 22, 2010 at 12:32 pm
Great review! I came up with a cocktail using White Owl for the holidays. (Making this caused me to drink almost a whole half bottle myself!) Try White Owl mixed with Cranberry Ginger Ale.

I was at a Keg in Calgary on the weekend and they served me a drink the waitress suggested. It was Red Bull and White Owl Whisky. It was quite good and I love the idea of the clear whisky and why I Googled White Owl and found this site was the name she called the drink… "Night Owl". I thought that is a good name for an energy drink and a product called White Owl. Good invention for an Alberta company.
October 4, 2010 at 3:13 pm
I must say White Owl (WOW) is my drink of choice now. I have introduced it to several friend that are avid whiskey drinkers that too have switched to the Owl.
Nestea Zero Iced tea and WOW is an awesome drink.

a few weeks ago i tried this for the fist time, saw it and had to try it. i agree it is unlike anything out there and as a whisky lover i must say this is my new drink of choice. love it!
March 6, 2010 at 4:18 pm
Interesting. While all other Canadian distillers are adding colour, Highwood are removing it. They actually state on their website that this whisky is aimed at the cocktail crowd. What I would like to know is how does it compare to their other whiskies? Say, Centennial 10 year old? Also, any idea of the price point it will occupy?
In any case, Highwood certainly knows how to package a whisky. All of their bottles are very impressive.
March 6, 2010 at 12:17 am
I will probably never try something so unique for a very long time. But it is definitely my style.
March 5, 2010 at 5:54 pm
I must agree wholeheartedly with your review rum chum. The White Owl whiskey is unlike any i have ever tried and probably will never try again. 100% dead on. Good job….

Actually doesn't sound too bad. I just HATE huge scoring leagues. I like watching and knowing each yard and point matters. It adds to the tension. When guys have 74 point games it just seems a lot less exciting.
How much is the buy in?
Just curious.
I can't wait to see Aldon Smith take Brady down Sunday night.
I want to do a league that is One Million Dollars buy in.

text: MARTINSBURG - A recent study performed at Brigham and Women's Hospital (affiliated with Harvard University) in Boston found a significant link between women who used common pain relievers and increased risk of hearing loss. The study, reported in the September 2012 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology, concluded that women who took ibuprofen or acetaminophen two or more days per week showed an increase in hearing loss over women who did not take these medications. In addition, the more frequent the use of these drugs, the greater the risk of hearing loss, and the largest increase was seen in women under 50 years of age.

5 Reasons Women Will Rule the Future
Do me a favor. Reach down between your legs, and grab a handful. Then use this guide to determine how you should read the following article.
If you came up with two shuddering, army-filled GLOBES of untold testosteronic power ...
CONGRATULATIONS, you are a man. Your chromosomes read like a guy finding his friend dead at a rave, and you should consider this article A CLARION CALL to sweaty, muscular, barbed-wire-tatted ARMS. Welcome to the resistance, brother.
If you came up with NOTHING because all you've got down there is a pathetic inside-out handbag of an excuse for reproductive organs ...
SORRY, you are a woman. Your chromosomes read like the eyes of a cartoon corpse, and you should ABSOLUTELY take the information below as a WARNING: I AM ON TO YOU. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE UP TO. And soon, so will the world.
The trends are clear. The rise of the New Girl Order must be stopped! The shestapo dismantled! Or in nine days, the Story of a Girl could be that she's got her stiletto on your man-ish, bulging windpipe.
Fellas ... this is what we're up against.
#5. There Will Be More of Them
We're up against boobs. Lots of 'em. But not in the way that you'd think or would want, or that I should have started this paragraph with for the sake of confusion. It's just that I equate each woman with her physical parts, like all men, and there will likely be more women than men (or "pecs") in the future (legend has it women can actually BIRTH whole, tiny versions of themselves! Men, get on that).
Don't believe me? Let's ask Wikipedia's page on the human sex ratio, which features the below image.
Look at it -- girly pink staining everything like so much spilled bubblegum nail polish. They've already got most of the cool countries, plus Australia and some other random crap thrown in! WHY will the future be a clambake, and not the present sausagefest? Simple math, really, which, by the way, we used to be better at, but it turns out we aren't really; male teachers are just being mean to the girls in their classes. Go get 'em, fellas!
Of course even the valiant repressive efforts of our nation's schoolteachers don't change the facts.
A) Males have a lower life expectancy than females, by about seven years. That's about how long it took Attila the Hun to conquer most of Europe.
B) Men are also more likely to die doing something awesome, like gang violence, a knife fight in a bar alley or a big fiery shootout with Mexican police. Or when Clint Eastwood pulls out his lighter in Gran Torino, and those guys light him up? Badass. Or when like a blimp or a horse explodes in a tunnel somehow, those are also cool ways to die that probably only happen to men (studies are still in progress on the exploding horse thing).
C) We take high-risk jobs more often, and get ourselves electrocuted or ground to death more often as a result. In fact, more than 90 percent of occupational fatalities are male. Go team wiener!
D) Women on low-calorie diets are more likely to give birth to girls than boys. As population worldwide continues to increase and food scarcity grows as a problem, we can expect plenty of moms in developing countries to convert into full-on girl factories.
Add it all up, pile on the disproportionate number of male war casualties worldwide, and you're left with the inescapable conclusion that most of the globe will soon be potpourri-scented and sensibly arranged.
How to Protect Your Manhood from This Vicious Onslaught:
We sort of are already, in the worst and most obvious fashion. The only reason those blue countries stay blue, in fact, is likely because of the vast number of gender-discriminatory girl-murders happening in them. China and India still do quite a bit of sex-selective aborting, and it's estimated that in a lot of developing countries (China again), a woman is being killed just for being a woman every couple of minutes.
So as soon as we get the assholes to cut THAT out, probably by sending a disproportionately male force over to teach them some manners and get killed, the global gender ratio will skew even further toward the female. The decline of girl-murder seems pretty inevitable, in fact, as some of those awful countries pull themselves out of the "developing" category and want to look nice and presentable for their international allies (instead of like infanticidal monsters).
Of course, Fisher's principle pretty cleanly explains why all animal populations, human included, tend to naturally settle at a 1:1 gender ratio. The thing is, ours starts out favoring men at birth, then declines with age, until by the time you're at retirement age, it's 0.78:1 in favor of ladies. And that's NOW, without all the stuff I just outlined coming into play.
Consolation Prize:
Before you chuckle, grab your junk, shake it, spit onto the floor of the oil rig on which you work and mutter "More chicks than dudes? I like those odds," please recall that we are AT WAR, SIR. Also, I'm talking mostly old ladies here, if you followed. An ocean of them. Those boobs I mentioned that we'd be up against? Granny boobs.
Oh, what's that? You're not afraid of some old ladies and their sagging bosoms? Remember who votes: OLD. LADIES. And don't forget to call that old lady "Ma'am" if you want to keep getting your oil-rigging paychecks, because ...
#4. They're Going to Be Our Bosses
The glass ceiling is about to be dismantled and reassembled as a retractable skylight, presumably so your female boss' birdbath/herb garden can get better northern exposure. While it's true that even today, in America, there's a noticeable gender gap in earnings (again, go team wiener), I speak of tomorrows, and of pussywhippings yet to come.
I speak of sleeper cells, gentlemen. Barely legal ones. In our schools.
As of the 2010 U.S. Census, a young American woman is more likely to hold a college degree than her male counterpart, and more likely to start her own business. And we're not just talking about inventing a delicious cookie recipe for the boys at the firehouse or run-proof stockings. We're talking real jobs. MAN jobs, with metal and stuff.
Adjust your jock strap, because here are some more uncomfortable statistics: More than 70 percent of last year's high school valedictorians had periods, 83 percent of the money spent on consumer goods last year came out of a purse and 75 percent of jobs created in the E.U. since 2000 have gone to people who can't even pee their own names in a snowbank.
The same trends are playing out in a lot of developing countries, too, especially now that we know educating and empowering young women is possibly the most effective method of stemming overpopulation, while simultaneously lessening the infant mortality rate and turning the sky to rainbows and the rivers to chocolate and sunshine. That's right. Educating women may literally be our species' ONLY HOPE OF SURVIVAL.
Meanwhile, over in fully developed America, the economic recession has hit us males disproportionately hard, resulting in a higher unemployment rate among men than women for the first time since your dad took on a second shift at the coal mine so your mom could greet you every day after school with a fresh-baked pie.
Flash forward 10 years, and we can all expect CEO to stand for Chief Executive Ovary-haver. The girluminati strikes again.
How to Protect Your Manhood from This Vicious Onslaught:
Study harder is the obvious solution, but I don't go in for obvious solutions. Too predictable. Instead, I say we turn the tables on a centuries-old female prerogative and start SLEEPING OUR WAY TO THE TOP. Who's with me?
Failing that, there's always flattery. At least the ass you'll be kissing around the office will no longer be hairy!
Consolation Prize:
Whatever, keep all the money and jobs, females. Meanwhile we'll be over here, making all the big, earth-shattering scientific discoveries and artistic breakthroughs. Repeated studies have shown that when it comes to sheer IQ, males tend to exhibit a wider range than women. As in, more super-geniuses, and more astounding idiots suitable only for entertaining a global television and film audience.
So even if women are our bosses, at least the Einsteins and Newtons and Picassos and Moe Howards of the future will still double over in pain when kicked in the crotch.
#3. The Male Skillset Is Obsolete
Except those big, earth-shattering discoveries get harder and harder to make as time wears on, and the full scope of human knowledge on any given subject is increased. For example, it was easy enough to figure out gravity when everyone was so dumb that no one had thought of sandwiches yet, but now we have fried, microwaveable sandwich pockets. There's not a lot of room for advancement.
These days, major breakthroughs, at least in the realm of science (and food pockets), require many years of specialized knowledge and schooling in the fundamentals of your particular field. Which, if you'll recall, is what the women have over us ... many years of specialized knowledge and schooling (the nerds).
They're also better at multitasking, a key part of more and more of the most modern, lucrative and important jobs and societal roles. You know what men are great at? Any single thing. Since we're often more focused and goal-oriented, men are just stellar at hunting a lion, or climbing a mountain, or writing a column (trust me, I AM NAILING IT), or killing the guy who killed our brother, or putting a thousand little widgets on a car part better and faster than the lady next to us on the assembly line.
You know what computers and machines are good at? The same stuff. Simple, goal-oriented tasks. That means "male-friendly" jobs can more easily be replaced or eliminated than "female-friendly" jobs, like managing a team, providing holistic patient care or drafting a law. Sure, John Henry beat the railroad-tie-laying-robot, but then he DIED, asshole.
Women are, generally speaking, peacemakers and multitaskers, with strengths in all of the areas they'll need to face the most important challenges the future is likely to hold. Challenges like the environment, globalization and providing preventive and ongoing health care and food for an expanding global population. You know, chick shit.
How to Protect Your Manhood from This Vicious Onslaught:
OK, I'm actually really getting worried here. This stuff is stacking up, and I think we might need to bring in the big guns. I'm not saying we should hit them, I'm just saying ... you know, scare 'em a little. After all, the one thing this cadre of madres can't take away from us is our physical superiority. And if scare tactics don't work, we can always make like they do and bring on the MIND GAMES.
Consolation Prize:
I mean, if women are going to be our bosses and presidents and lead us into a glorious age of peace and skin exfoliation, then the least we can do is whine about it. And in the future, as the new oppressed sex, we'll finally be able to!
As the new "wives" of society, we men will be free to stay home with the kids, gobble bonbons and snoop through their underwear drawers for evidence that they're banging their new secretary with the swimmer's body, all the while moaning that we want better jobs, higher wages and for women to stop ogling us like slabs of beef. It's really degrading.

AMD Looking to Sell Texas Site As PC Sales Continue to Nosedive

It hopes to close the deal in Q2 2013
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is selling its Texas campus as a result of the sluggish PC market.
Chip maker AMD said it will sell and lease back its 58-acre Austin, Texas campus for $150 million to $200 million. It hopes to close the deal in Q2 2013.
This isn't the first sign of AMD's struggles. In
, the company's cash declined $279 million to $1.48 billion. Research firm Gimme Credit also downgraded its rating for AMD from "stable" to "deteriorating." Furthermore, it has been laying off engineers (about 15 percent of its workforce in October 2012) as it attempts to save some cash.
Why the troubles? Mainly because 85 percent of AMD's business relies on the PC market, and the PC market has been taking a hard hit in recent years.
Since the introduction of mobile gadgets like the smartphone and tablet, PCs have seen a strong decline in sales. Consumers want mobility, and these gadgets combine the power of PCs with the convenience of mobility. Hence, PCs have been down in the dumps.
AMD is currently looking to sneak into other markets in order to stay afloat. In late October, the chip maker announced it was
making 64-bit ARM processors
for multiple markets. It's starting with its
Piledriver Opteron 6300 Series
, which will replace the Bulldozer-equipped Opteron 6200 Series.
Just this month,
claimed that AMD was pursuing a sale
, but AMD denied it. It's currently looking into its options, but a sale isn't No. 1 on the list.
Intel has been in the same PC slump as AMD, but seems to be doing better through these hard times. It posted a better-than-expected
$3 billion USD profit in Q3 2012
, and has been working hard on its
22 nm Haswell architecture
to rival the likes of AMD. Haswell will launch in 2013.

PC sales show strong drop?
I'm not quite sure what you guys call a strong drop but, Intel sold 352million chips last year. This year 348million. Unless my math, admittedly quick in my head, is off that's like ~1.2%. In a...Well in the worst economy ever in presidential history (welcome to obamanomics and GREEN waste, 6trillion per term spending etc), we are only down 1.2% in arguably very much luxury items most could do without or just keep hanging on to the old one. I'd say that's a FABULOUS outcome. Perhaps not for AMD because they really did lose sales (mostly to Intel...LOL, which is what happens when your chips are 50% slower), but as a whole Intel isn't doing bad for a down economy. If Intel had sold maybe 300million ok...Down strong as in a 10% drop. But this whole PC market down crap is seriously overblown in a TERRIBLE economy with 20% of american workforce sitting at home on their collective butts. Yes, I count the ones who just quit looking too as we SHOULD count them.
People need to quit saying crap like this. It's not true. Somehow, pc's continue selling. I suspect a large pickup this year as the wait for win8 is now over and it sucks as we all feared. All companies hoping to skip 7, are now faced with 8 sucking so might as well move ahead with win7 plans you thought you might get out of. Their PC's are 5-6 years old now and need replacing or will just die forcing replacement this year. I expect PC sales to rise for 2013 vs. 2012 YOY. Just because they can't hold on to the last rev FOREVER. They'll start dying shortly in mass droves most likely. Granted tablets/phones are stealing some HOME sales, but business is business and I'm not using a tablet at work any time soon...LOL. Phone? You smoking crack? I'll need a pc for years at work...Well I mean, until I'm DEAD. :) If someone tried to tell me to use a tablet or phone (even out to monitor/keyboard) I'd quit my job and look for somewhere to work where they still understand I don't wait on my tablet/phone cpu to put something up on the screen for me. I need my PC to WAIT on me ALWAYS. So they are a long ways from these things stealing any business sales.
The next consoles? That's a whole other story. They are dead. Tablets/phones will make them useless by xmas 2013 or 2014 at the latest (carmack, Valve soft, and Epic Games have all said it, mobile is where we're headed). They will have the worst sales in console history. We'll have 1.5B Tablets/phones (total) being sold next year. Who would you dev for? 50-100million consoles (assuming xmas 2013 launch for ps4/x720 and fairly brisk sales) or 1.5billion tablets/phones that can easily do 1080P out to tv by then. We have better even now at the top end (nexus 10 etc), but I'm assuming just about anything out next xmas will be capable of 30fps at 1080p that gamers would consider fun. IF google had made nexus 10 1920x1080 it would already be an xbox360/ps3 replacement. Unfortunately they aimed at ipad4 res instead of consoles :) This left the gaming playable, but not great like it could have been. I'm hoping someone puts out a 1080p Tegra4 10in that makes the next consoles totally useless in Q1. It might take a Tegra4+ for the xmas model but if it's released like the 3+ was it was quite the boost so they should be very nice if everyone defaults to 1080p (WISELY) by then (with options in game to change up if your tablet comes at 25601600 or something). If consoles die we should get multiple res choices in tablet/phone games I'd hope.
Anyway, please quit with the PC sales dying garbage. IT's not true or Intel is just lying in their quarterly report correct? Is that what you're saying?
RE: PC sales show strong drop?
Tablets will not be replacing games consoles in the next year. Sure for casual gamers (Farmville playing idiots) its a market games companies should explore. But for those wanting to play Halo, CoD, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, and the like, tablets have zero chance of infringing in the console market. You can't build a tablet that will output the kind of graphics current gen consoles can, much less next generation, in a few watt power envelope. And even if you could, why do I want to play on a 10" screen vs. a 50" one. Sure you can have HDMI out on a tablet but now you're talking more power again.
I guess you're wanting something that will hit 130F in your hands.
Now I will say that the next generation consoles will likely have some issues with sales. Many are still satisfied with the current gen consoles. And with the economy in the toilet, there will be many who will find it hard to justify the upgrade. Of course the leeches on society will likely have no issue with buying them (note: not affording, just buying) as proven by nearly every person you see on food stamps or welfare having a smart phone, HDTV, cable, etc.

What we've heard lately from Western milk producers
What we've heard lately from Western milk producers
Hay is crazy, calf prices are upside-down, and futures prices are scary.
We've talked to quite a few Western dairy producers in the last four weeks, and what they've told us paints a picture that is filled with concern.
Hay prices are still crazy. Widespread hopes that they would decline in 2012 have been dreams of fantasy so far this year. Producers in southern California and Arizona, for instance, are still paying $300 per ton or more. Prices may ease as the new crop begins to hit the market, but there's great uncertainty about how big supplies will be.
Calf prices have turned upside-down. Remember when day-old Holstein bull calves were worth $5 to $10 each? It wasn't so long ago. Wow, has that changed. Central California dairy owners say they're getting $200 to $225 now, and reports from other Western states are around $175. Meanwhile, heifer calf prices have collapsed and are even lower than bull calves. Much lower, in fact. Producers in several states say they're only bringing about half of what bulls are.
Futures prices are scary. All across the West, the biggest concern is the sharp downturn in milk price futures since January. (See chart.) Each daily report from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange lists Class III milk prices that extend 12 months into the future. Each bar in the chart shows what those prices averaged on the 7th day of the month (or close to it) for the last six months. As you can see, the trend isn't good.
What we're hearing is the total cost of milk production is around $16.50 per hundredweight. That means things were looking good in January. But futures prices have dropped hard since then, and continued strong production levels give little hope for much recovery anytime soon.

Two Windsor female runners were scheduled to run the Boston Marathon, but had to withdraw due to injuries.
Connie DeMercurio, 56, injured her knee in October. DeMercurio, who ran the race in 2004, '07, '09 and last year, said it's bittersweet that she didn't run in Boston.
"In a way it's kind of bittersweet because I can't say that I'm glad that I'm not there because I was supposed to be there," said DeMercurio, the president of the Fort Collins Running Club. "I love Boston. I love the experience, and I really, really would have liked to have run it. I can't say (the explosions) would have made me change my mind about that. It's extremely tragic, but I can't say that I'm glad I'm not there."
DeMercurio trained with Dan Berlin, of Fort Collins, who ran the marathon.
"He just got out of there. He said that he went to pick up their sacks and their clothes at the finish, and he heard the explosions," she said. "Luckily, he caught a cab and got out of there. He was fortunate enough to get out of there right away."
DeMercurio, who has run in 28 marathons, said there is no crowd like the Boston crowd.
"(Attendees) line the course for 26 miles," she said. "I hope this does not deter them in the future for them coming out to support the race."
DeMercurio said she has thought about safety when she's run the big marathons.
"You think about it when you get in that big of crowds because I've run New York, Chicago, Marine Corps Marathon (Washington, D.C.) and the biggies," she said. "It's something that crosses your mind. It's really, really tragic."
Michelle Kary, 39, of Windsor, was also supposed to run Boston, but an injury more than three months ago forced her to withdraw.
"I was supposed to run. I qualified for the Boston Marathon with a 3 hour and 39 minute marathon, and if I had run at Boston today I would have started in the 10:30 (a.m.) heat and finished right around 2:10 (p.m.), which is exactly when those bombs went off. So, it's very sobering. It felt very unsettling because that's literally when I would have crossed the finish line."
Kary had run the Boston Marathon twice before in 2009-10, and she said her husband, Dr. Jonathan Kary, would have been at the finish line as a spectator waiting for her.
"It's an overwhelming feeling knowing we're not (there)," Kary said. "It's a whole gamut of emotions realizing that I'm glad I'm not there."
