An hour of unexpected rain showers didn't dampen spirits Saturday, March 31, at the FishHawk and Riverview Relays for Life.
After taking temporary refuge beneath tents and in the schools' cafeterias, the teams promptly got back to the business of walking their respective tracks and selling everything from baked goods to cancer awareness bracelets.
"This is my first time doing this," said Nick Behringer, who posed as the Cat in the Hat for photos to raise funds for the FishHawk relay at Newsome High School. "It's a fun way to spread the word about cancer and a great way to raise some money."
The FishHawk relay featured a storybook theme that included such classics as "Goodnight, Moon," "The Gingerbread Man" and "Harold and the Purple Crayon."
"We're selling homemade sweet tea, popcorn and hosting face painting and cornhole tournaments to raise funds," said Newsome Future Farmers of America team leader Kelly Ware.
Down the track, Lori March of the Brandon and Riverview Montessori Schools was doing a brisk business selling baked goods.
"We've raised $3,200 so far," said March. Prior to the relay itself, the schools hosted a yard sale, raffle and a coin challenge for the students that raised $900. "This is our fifth year participating. It's such a great cause."
A few miles down Boyette Road in Riverview, relay participants were busy selling drinks, baked goods and other items at Riverview High School for the Riverview Relay for Life.
The theme of this year's Riverview relay was "movies."
This was the fifth year The Osprey Observer, Chick fil-A of Lake Brandon Village and Dynamic Painting USA have partnered in a booth for the Riverview relay.
"This year we raised over $9,000," said Marie Gilmore, editor and publisher of The Osprey Observer.

Shuler will seek re-election; out as UT AD
In what appears to be the most definitive statement to date about his boss' 2012 plans, North Carolina Rep. Heath Shuler's spokesman and top political hand Andrew Whalen told POLITICO Wednesday the congressman won't be the next University of Tennessee Athletic Director. -- More.
"most definitive statement?" Try most obvious statement. He read the play book and his name wasn't in it.
Ouch: Some political handicappers. give Shuler about as much chance of being re-elected as close observers of Tennessee's athletic program had given him of becoming AD.

Jackson State officials showed their appreciation on Wednesday to Tigers track star and London Olympic runner Anaso Jobodwana.
Jobodwana placed eighth in the 200-meter finals running for his home country of South Africa.
More than 100 students, faculty and alumni held a pep rally to celebrate Jobodwana's return to JSU. He is a sophomore at Jackson State.
Jobodwana says running against 200-meter gold medalist Usain Bolt was a dream come true.
"He is one of the guys that I look up to. When I started, I had pictures of him for motivation. For me to actually be in the presence of him was actually like a good feeling," Jobodwana said.

MOORE — Announcement kicks off Project Crossroads
Raptor Properties, LLC has purchased what was once Dillard's department store on March 26 as a part of their plans for bringing Crossroads Mall back as an Oklahoma City destination.
The Dillard's property includes the 3-level, 194,538-square-foot building located on the south-side of the main mall building as well as the adjoining parking lot. Trustmark Title handled the closing. Demolition of the interior of the building is expected to begin late this week.
Since investors Mike Dillard and Roddy Bates purchased the Crossroads Property in 2011, they have been formulating a plan based on successful mall revitalizations in other markets. The project has officially kicked off and will culminate in an announcement at 4 p.m. on April 24 center court of the mall to announce the new name of the center along with architectural renderings, new tenants and more detailed plans for the property.
"After extensive research and due diligence, we are very excited and confident about the new direction we are planning for Crossroads Mall. After garnering much support from our local and state leaders, we look forward to revealing our new partner and the redevelopment plan we have implemented," Bates said.
The focus will now be on implementing the new vision for the mall, and getting information out to the public as soon as possible.

The Tribune-Star
The 25th annual version of Indiana Sprint Week is now officially in the record books and the latest chapter will go down as one of the most successful in recent years.
Solid spectator turnouts at all seven venues, strong car counts and the usual, tight, competitive racing made for a special run in the U.S. Auto Club-sanctioned series.
Storylines abounded on numerous fronts, from Levi Jones' championship run, a pair of couple first-time winners and seven nights of racing that generated six different winners.
The Wabash Valley was well represented with the strong and consistent runs of Sullivan County native Chase Stockon and the startling but well deserved Terre Haute Action Track win by Ray Morgan Racing – all together, a great 10-day run that survived near-record heat, a pair of rain postponements and a troubling economy that is starting to make its presence felt at short tracks across the Hoosier state.
The big winner of ISW had to be Jones, who once again displayed the canny knack of knowing the ins and outs of championship runs. While going winless in the seven-race stretch, the Olney, Ill., driver was always knocking at the door.
"I think we had a second, two thirds, a fourth and two fifths," voiced the newly crowned champ.
"We got a lot of things figured out with our motors. Car-wise we just went a little too far on some adjustments at times. At other times, maybe not enough. That's just part of racing."
Now a four-time ISW champion, one would think Jones would pretty much take his latest title in stride. Not so for the ultra-competitive Jones, who developed the unrentless trait to win during his high school basketball playing days.
"It never gets old winning championships," Jones said moments after a memorable victory lane ceremony shared with his young son. "That's what everybody here tonight started the week trying to do. That last corner it was four wide going for fourth or fifth place."
It was more than family and friends quick to offer congrats to the newly crowned champ. His car owner Tony Stewart took time from a busy schedule to make it to Putnamville Sunday.
"[Stewart] drove all night after driving a sprint car at Williams Grove [Pa.] to be here, so that made it even more special," Jones said. "He gives the team what it takes to be here so it's always nice to have him around."
For feature winner Dave Darland, it was another well-deserved visit to victory lane at a track he has pretty much ruled over the years.
Like Jones, Darland was taking time to relish the moment. He's been part of ISW since its creation and although he is now a 17-time ISW feature winner, his latest checkered flag was as special as the first to veteran racer.
"It doesn't get old," Darland said. "It's always fun winning sprint car races. I've been fortunate to have won probably 250 sprint-midget or Silver Crown races over the years. If you can win the sprint car races, especially during Indiana Sprint Week, it can be a blast."
Long considered one of the finest drivers ever to pilot an open-wheel race car, the veteran driver is once again teamed with car owner Jeff Walker.
"I'm very fortunate to be driving a great race car," voiced the elated Darland in victory lane. "Things are going good for Dave Darland. Too bad we couldn't have got hooked up with Jeff 25 years ago."
• ISW newsmakers – After several unsuccessful attempts to land one of the coveted ISW dates, LPS promoter Joe Spiker not only succeeded gaining a show but ended up with the deciding championship race.
His car count was third highest for the series with opening night at Gas City at 47 the highest. The low was at the big half mile at Terre Haute, coming in at 30.
Was there a happier or bigger victory lane celebration than the one locally? Daron Clayton propelled Ray Morgan Racing to the win at the Wabash Valley Fairgrounds. If the name Ray Morgan sounds familiar, yes, it's the same Fairbanks racer who was a frequent sprint car racer at area ovals a few years back.
The popular former racer is back in the sport after a 15-year hiatus, fielding cars on the World of Outlaws sprint circuit and teaming with Clayton in area non-wing sprint shows. The Action Track visit and resulting win was the third in a row for the pair that joined forces only a week earlier.
The pair hooked up after Morgan learned of Clayton's financial struggles that were keeping the Illinois driver sidelined.
"He's one of the finest non-wing drivers around and when I found out he was sitting because he was underfunded I sacrificed my finances to help him out," beamed Morgan moments after the Wednesday night win. "It's been worth every penny so far. We've been out three times and we have three wins."
The win couldn't have come at a better time or place for Morgan, who now calls Terre Haute home.
"To win at my home track, to win the Don Smith Classic, it couldn't get much better," offered Morgan, who survived one of the track's most spectacular crashes as a driver several years ago. "Don helped us so many times in the past. [Smith] is a good man. It's a privilege to win a race named in his honor."
Stockon continues to make his efforts felt in USAC circles. His ISW runs produced four top-10 finishes good enough for sixth place in final points. More on this talented Valley racer, including some high marks given the Sullivan native by his fellow USAC racers in an upcoming column.

Absolutly stunning....was afraid it would be too large for my finger ....just perfect !!!!! Gorgeous perfect blue topaz stone ...amazing !!!
Pleasantly Surprised
Par CC
de Oshawa ON
To be honest I expected to be disappointed but the gemstones, amethyst & smoky quartz (still waiting to receive the blue topaz) were deep in colour, a good size and the ring is very comfortable to wear. It is a lovely everyday ring. Now the topaz stones on the side are inconsequential they are so small but the centre stone is the focus.

Happy but...
Par Elizabeth
de Quebec
My mistake, the ring is way too big, will have it resize but love the blue color of the stone. But why is there no mark that it is a silver ring? Also like another customer said, my blue topaz ring is also missing a white topaz stone. Seems to be a common flaw.
Par Lucy
de Hamilton, Ont
I purchased the blue topaz and am delighted with the size,shine & sparkle. The stone is a lovely shade of icy blue. Love to wear it.
A good purchase
Par Love the Shopping Channel
de Caledon Ontario
Bought size 7 for my daughter but find that it fits my size 8 finger so I guess I get to keep it. The ring I received in blue topaz is a beautiful big stone, sky blue without any inclusions in the stone. Great value for the price. Would definitely recommend it.
Chip in amethyst:(
Par Fitness Fairy
de Vancouver
To my disappointment the ring I received, has a rather noticeable chip in the amethyst, otherwise it is a beauty, but I suppose I should return it for a new one fully intact.
En résumé
Non, je ne recommanderais pas ceci à un ami
Par Heather the heathen
de Scarborough,Ontario
This ring iseverything positive that others have said. I only wish I had bought this ring in the Smokey Quartz as well as the Blue Topaz.
Par CG
de Mississauga (Ont)
Wow what a great find. I ordered the blue topaz and the smokey quartz - I love them both. Lots of sparkle and shine. Lovely stones and they fit so nicely. It is a perfect size too. This is a wonderful buy and one that everyone should try and pick up on before they are all gone.

Great Ring!!!! Great Price!!!!
Par Sandra
de East York, Ontario
I was brousing at the SC and came across this ring. I was looking for an amethyst ring and the price and rating seemed too good to pass up. The amethyst is a lovely color and the stone substantial. I ordered a size 6 and it fit beautifully on my wedding hand finger. I've got short fingers and this ring looks fabulous. The sapphires are small, but they do enhance the shank and style of this ring. Personally I wouldn't have wanted the band any wider than it is right now. With this stand alone stone, you really want to keep the style of this ring simple. It really is a very nice ring and something that you can probably wear every day. I love it.

Last Saturday afternoon, I spent a few hours visiting the condos on Main Street and doing campaign literature drops there and meeting residents. I did not do any door-knocking, as I thought that was not appropriate. The people I met in the hallways of the condos were friendly and encouraging.
One resident of the Lofts of Stillwater asked me in to his condo to talk about the campaign, Main Street issues and about maintenance of the dirt road between the Lofts of Stillwater and the marina. Had I not made a point to visit the condos in person, I would have missed out on that conversation.
I've been having conversations like that across the ward since I first filed as a candidate. I have been very intentional about reaching out to people in the ward, regardless of whether they live in single-family homes, apartments, condos or assisted living. Part of the reason why we have campaigns is for the candidates to better understand the concerns of the many people they would represent. Regardless of how this campaign turns out, I wouldn't change anything about how I have run, nor would I trade any of the great conservations that I've had with voters along the way.
One resident of Terra Springs understandably asked me, "How did you get in here?" I answered that I had made an appointment with the property management company to access the building. There's a state law (Minnesota Statute 211B.20) that permits candidates to, on appointment, access multi-unit residences to door-knock and to do literature drops. It's an important law. Without it, owners of multi-unit residences would be able to decide which candidates would have access to voters at their properties.
About 10% of voters in Stillwater's Ward 2 live on Main Street. I believe that it's important for candidates representing Main Street to make an extra effort to reach out to these city residents directly, not just through Facebook or local media. The impacts of City Council decisions with respect to downtown construction, community celebrations and river issues are often felt most directly by these folks. I am respectfully asking for their votes to represent them and Stillwater's Ward 2.

Despite the best efforts of the United Federation of Teachers, media outlets have prevailed under law in procuring individual teacher evaluations.
As School Book reports, the performance rankings of 18,000 4th through 8th grade public school teachers were released to media outlets who had sued for the information.
The data, compiled by the Department of Education, is variable and far from perfect, with high margins of error that are individually assessed per teacher. They are based on state math and English tests.
Here is the ranking for Little Neck's P.S. 221 North Hills, P.S. 94 and J.H.S. 67 Louis Pasteur as listed in the New York Post.
You will undoubtedly have questions about these evaluations, for which we refer you to FAQs answered on School Book.

South Georgia may be best-known as the island Earnest Shackleton crossed in 1916 seeking help for his stranded men after the loss of the Endurance. It is also regarded by many as one of the top wildlife destinations in the world, where a variety of species can be observed at close range. By the late 17th century, seal hunters and whalers had begun to treat South Georgia as a banquet of unlimited resources. Records from peak harvests tell of as many as 57,000 seal skins harvested in one haul. In 1825, James Weddell—the Weddell Sea and the Weddell seal bear his name—estimated that over a million seal skins had been collected. Several whaling stations were located on South Georgia—more than 175,000 whales were rendered for oil, baleen, meat, and bone meal. Before whaling was severely restricted, nearly 1.5 million whales were hunted and killed in Antarctic waters. South Georgia is also home to approximately 30 million birds—that's right, 30 million—including 2 million pairs of macaroni penguins, 400,000 pairs of king penguins, 100,000 gentoo pairs and 6,000 chinstrap pairs. This is a staggering number of penguins, all living in a fragile habitat that is plagued by climate change and invasive species.
The South Georgia Heritage Trust (SGHT) was established to make sure that those penguins—and all kinds of other wildlife—continue to thrive. They're working to eradicate the brown rats that threaten nesting areas, and to preserve and share the island's whaling history. They're collaborating with other foundations to protect and study marine life from krill to whales. They also run the museum at Grytviken where you can see a replica of the James Caird III, the modified lifeboat used by Shackleton on his journey from Elephant Island to South Georgia. Their mission, at its most basic, is as follows (from the SGHT website):
SGHT has a sort of sister organization—the South Georgia Association—that's open to members from around the world. Their mission is a little more community focused (from their website):
They're based in the UK at the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge and hold events that educate attendees about the issues affecting South Georgia. Last year's calendar listed talks about the geography and history of the islands—including "how to Arrest a Pirate, Hug an Albatross, Save an Elephant Seal from a fate worse than death, Exchange Rats for Beer and De-Luxe your Snow Hole"—and current research taking place on South Georgia.
I've read repeatedly that a trip to Antarctica turns the most apathetic person in to a staunch advocate for protection of the last continent. Supporting organizations like the SGHT and the SGA upon return from your travels is one way to stay involved with South Georgia's stewardship. If neither of these organizations inspires you, both sites have lists of associated foundations and organizations that work for the conservation of the history, culture and unique ecosystem of Antarctica.

Heyman: Pettitte expected to decide on 2013 by next weekBy
Via Jon Heyman: Andy Pettitte is expected to decide whether he'll return to pitch next season by the end of next week. He cites a "friend" of Pettitte, so take the report with a big grain of salt. Less than a week ago a "friend" indicated that Hiroki Kuroda preferred to pitch in Southern California, and we know how that turned out.
Earlier this week we heard that the 40-year-old Pettitte could give the team a "timetable" soon, and I suppose this qualifies. Most expect Andy to return next year after a big chunk of his 2012 comeback was wiped out by a fluke leg injury, but that's not a guarantee. The Yankees would have to give the veteran left-hander a hefty raise over the $2.5M he earned this year, but I don't think that'll be much of an issue since it figures to be a one-year contract that would not impact the 2014 payroll plan.
47 Comments»
Think we will see another 1 year/$15 mill contract? Identical to Kuroda's?
Pettitte probably deserves it, but considering Kuroda is coming off a much better, injury free season, I think he will get less. Maybe with more incentives though.
just sign him already….stop the bs
they want to…he hasn't told the Yanks if he's coming back or not.
It's Dan Gen…reasonable thought is out the window.
one eighty nine…
Love Andy….but I hope this is true and he just decides already….either way Cashman needs closure on it ASAP so he can get to other things……
Yes, I don't really know what's so hard about deciding to pitch or not. I think he uses that as a tactic to get more money or leverage when negotiating a new deal. Don't get me wrong ;I love Andy, but it's really tiresome to go through this year after year.
Not to mention that dawdling last year cost him 8.5 million.
No, it's not.
Waiting for Andy does only so much to limit Cashman's other decisions. Forcing things early in the offseason is just not his best move in a lot of cases. Waiting allows you to see how the market develops, rather than rushing to sign guys for their initial, inflated demands.
Think of it this way… Assume Cashman works 8 hours a day and has a staff working 8 hours a day each. How many of those hours do you think they spend waiting around to see if Andy re-signs? I would bet very few. I would bet they are spending most of their time considering options not only for the rotation if Andy retires, but also for RF, C, DH, the bench, Rule 5… etc.
Excellent news. He would shore up the rotation and allow them to address the OF. Bring Ichiro back on a cheap deal before the winter meetings.
He's coming back. If he was going to retire he would have already announced it. He's probably going to end up with a 1/10 with 2 million or incentives or something like that.
Sounds good to me. If only they could get King Felix…
Assuming Pettitte comes back (don't care about the money), the pitching staff should be set other than NRIs, injured veterans, etc.
This gives Cashman plenty of time to wait for a catcher and an OFer or two to fall into his lap, either via an unexpected trade offer or a free agent willing to take a 1-year deal at a premium.
I don't really think Andy drags it out for more money……I think he really is torn between pitching and staying with his family…..which on one hand is good because once he does decide you know he's all in….but it's also annoying because it sorta puts the team on hold waiting on him to decide.
Last year Andy was sorta a bonus….this year they really need him and if he opts against pitching then Cashman probably has to go after somebody else…..so a quick decision would be helpful so he could then address the holes at C, RF, and DH
True, but it IS still November. If he decides next week, this is perfectly reasonable and pretty early all things considered.
My question would be that, at this point in Andy's career, what could possibly change between this week and next that would affect his decision? He's been playing pro-ball since 1991. He knows the deal by now.
why does it matter? He's not preventing them from signing anyone else.
We don't know that for sure. I do know it's annoying to have a bunch of unchecked to-do items on one's list.
Are you saying Cashman's going to wake up tomorrow and be all, "fuck! I'm out of cream cheese!?"
The Yankees can multitask.
No. But don't fool yourself that thinking just because they can "multitask" it doesn't mean the longer this goes on, the more it can stand in the way of other plans. Maybe the five-man rotation many have outlined with and without Pettitte is NOT necessarily the ideal rotation in the eyes of the front office.
Everyone is acting like Pettitte is just another arm. No. If he comes back, he's going to be an important piece of the rotation, not the #5 starter. If he's not coming back, that's a big piece to fill. The fall-back is Phelps who is currently a #5 starter/long reliever. That's a big drop-off and a big question mark. You know pretty much what you're getting with Andy. Seems to me that's an important piece to fill.
What does that have to do with RF, C, DH, or the bench? Chill. It's more annoying to rush into poor decisions than to have unfinished business that you'll get to in good time.
They went through all of last offseason knowing that Andy might be coming back. They can manage.
Last year they had the rotation candidates set before Pettitte showed up in February. Remember, he was the 7th man "competing" for a rotation spot last spring.
He was guaranteed a rotation spot as soon as he signed. He wasn't competing for anything.
Either way, I'm sure that the Yankees won't let an indecisive Pettitte get in the way of fielding a good team next year. If he hasn't made up his mind by a certain day and they have to proceed as if he isn't coming back, fine. And he'll be a huge upgrade if he decides late in the offseason to return.
Meh. It's a tough decision no matter what. None of us live in his head.
Figure Andy back, looks like Raul is back. They are basically still looking for a RF or 2 and another INF utility guy.
Oh and every day until April 1st Cashman should call Miami's GM/Owner and offer the farm for Giancarlo.
Couldn't agree more about Stanton. Since the Marlins decided they don't want to put a competitive team on the field for the next few years, I've been hoping that Cashman is pestering the Marlins daily for Stanton and letting them know NO ONE is off the table.
29 teams are telling the Marlins the same thing.
So that means Cashman should give up and waive the white flag?
Even if andy signs i would want the yankees to add another starter. Between hiroki and c.c's work load and pettitte's age there are injury risks. Also there is a risk that two of nova, hughes and phelps wont pitch well enough to hold rotation spots. A couple minor leauge vets would sufice I guess but I would like to see a dependable back end starter. Dont know who that would be at market prices though…
I agree that having someone (or more than one guy if we can get MiLB deals for them) in the Freddy role would be wise.
I'm also not that in love with either putting Phelps at five or watching either a Nova/Pineda comeback that I wouldn't look into Haren for the four/five slot if he'd take a one-yer deal.
Not in response to you directly, but the Yankees really can wait for Andy like they have other years. The hurry seems to be ours as fans. Like lash year, that insurance guy the team brings in, worst case, could be Andy himself.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Why is everyone forgetting Pineda? He should be back by June.
That's "June" according to Yankee reports, which are usually inaccurate and on the optimistic side. Plus, it's hard to tell how someone's going to respond to a surgery. It would be irresponsible for the front office to count on Pineda as a rock solid, sure thing to come back and contribute at any point in 2013. They have to plan for the worst.
Exactly so.
Why is a guy who can get a guaranteed rotation spot elsewhere signing with the Yankees to compete with Hughes, Nova, and Phelps… Who are all solid back of the rotation candidates in their own rights?
Still find it interesting that the media message has consistently been that it's believed Pettitte will pitch in 2013, yet then we keep hearing he'll make his decision soon, which means he doesn't seem to know himself!
Maybe Andy basically told the Yankees he was coming back in October, but that he wanted a month to basically confirm that's what he'll do. Makes no sense otherwise.
Hey Andy sure no problem let the Yankees kiss your a s s and handcuff them so they can;t make any moves because they don't know what you wanna do thanks Andy!
When do you Yankees wanna get younger what's Andy going to do pitch for one more year at an over priced price tag? I mean they talk about getting younger but never do it while Anibal Sanchez sits out there.
Why not spend the money on Anibal Sanchez that you're going to put out for Andy you can prob pay Anibal Sanchez for two years for the one you're going to give Andy.
I see my army grows.
Andy is probably better than Anibal, will get paid less next season and not be signed for 3-5 years after that. Pitching is volatile, I like signing one year contracts with veteran pitchers. It keeps the roster flexible. The point of getting younger is to have less injury and decline. Having one year deals accomplishes the same thing because as soon as they can't contribute you let them go. I think the Yankees should continue to create their rotation with young guys from within and aging veterans looking to win on one year deals (Johan Santana next off-season maybe), big FA dollars should only go to the super elite guys like CC.

The Compassion Diet
Elise Jason fundraising for THE ORPHANETWORK
All funds go directly to the kids in Nueva Vida so that they can have one meal everyday.
My name is Elise and I am a student at Virginia Tech. Through the Nicaraguan Orphan Fund at Tech I traveled, along with 43 other students, to Nicaragua this past spring break. We spent the majority of our with the 1,200 people still living in the refugee camp Nueva Vida (new life) that was temporarily built after Hurricane Mitch in 1998.
From April 5-April 9, a group of Nicaraguan Orphanage Fund volunteers from Virginia Tech will be eating rice and beans to raise monetary support and awareness for the children we left behind in Nueva Vida. This is the basic diet of the 27% of the Nicaraguan population that is malnourished. Over 60% of the Nicaraguan population is unemployed because of the strict government structure that currently exists in Nicaragua. Although these communities have nothing, the children were still joyful, faithful, and full of life.
All that I ask for from you is a couple of dollars, or what it would cost for a normal meal, so that these kids can eat lunch everyday. Thank you for your generosity.

Overview of Shelby.tv:
The founders of Shelby.tv got their start on a little known reality TV show called Tech Stars, and since then have secured a hearty amount of funding for this video discovery platform. With Shelby Genius apps for the iPad and iPhone released this fall, and a makeover of its website that will debut soon, Shelby.tv is a notable contender in the fight against old-fashioned television. The app is free, and the website allows you to explore without signing up, making this simple video discovery platform worth checking out.
The Shelby.tv Website:
Shelby.tv lets you curate your own tv channel. According to the site, "It's like a blog, except you post video and don't have to write so much" -a fitting description. Once you become a member, you can either log in using Facebook, Twitter, or a dedicated Shelby.tv user account, and start curating. You'll be able to 'follow' other users' channels and they'll be able to keep up with yours by 'following' you, or checking out username.tv. The aim of the project is to create web-based TV channels that are curated by media and entertainment networks, and people like you!
Online Shelby.tv channels offer a simple layout, with arrows on either side of the video to navigate the queue, and a video playlist along the left-hand side of the screen. Each video offers you the chance to add it to your personal queue, "roll" the video to your channel, share, and leave comments.
Shelby Genius iPhone and iPad App:
The Shelby Genius app uses API Genius technology that creates a database of videos based on user's searches, and which videos work. An app that uses this technology will improve over time as more and more users search for the videos that matter to them. Sheby Genius doesn't include premium video sources like Hulu Plus and Netflix. It draws video from YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion, which all host free content. This strategy is essential to the simple user interface of the app, letting the user focus on searching and watching video rather than synching the appropriate accounts to arrange the search database beforehand.
Searching With Shelby Genius:
The main page of the Shelby Genius app features a search bar, with your search history underneath. Putting the cursor in the search box prompts the app to suggest a search term for you, presumably based on what other users are searching. Whether you use the suggested search or come up with one of your own, simply click the lightbulb icon to the right of the search bar to check our your results. A search for "paper" (suggested by Shelby) yields a diverse selection of videos including a music video by a new band that uses paper as a prop, an instructional YouTube video called "How to Make a Paper Balloon", and a webisode from The Rangers - a group known for their single, "That Paper". The Shelby search tool doesn't just use your chosen search term as a topic, it mines the web for popular videos loosely associated with the term, and brings you results that check you into what's hot online.
Search results appear in a list on the screen with a link to share the video via Twitter, Facebook and email. When you finish a video the next one automatically plays, providing smooth, continuous playback. In addition, you can use playback controls to skip around the playlist by double-clicking on your mobile device's home button. Perhaps the most important feature of Shelby Genius is Airplay support, which lets you 'throw' the video from your mobile device to T.V. with the click of a button.
Shelby.tv and Shelby Genius favor simplicity over versatility. By cutting down on user options, the app keeps the fun of video discovery where it belongs - in the results!

That reminds me of one the episodes of Coupling, in which Steve manages to re-enact the entire history of male civilization, in the ultimate quest to get booty.
And if porn were to be mankind's greatest achievement, I think we still have much further to go. Honestly, at one point or another, we're bound to have virtual reality machines that give us our every single facet of fantasy available. Unfortunately, it would be hard to believe that high-profile celebrities would endorse their own naked images for the purpose of virtual pleasure. Of course, adult film stars make it their business to do so.
I'll start off with nothing raunchy (I'll see how the snowball rolls), but a picture of whom I believe to be the prettiest adult film star out there: Monique Alexander.

August 13, 1961 - Some of the craziest post-race actions look place en masse during and after the Western Carolina 500 at Asheville-Weaverville Speedway. The race saw all sorts of accidents, fires and chunking of the track's asphalt. When the track started coming apart badly, the race was called at about the half-way mark. Junior Johnson led all 258 laps run and was declared the winner of the race - though the ending of the race didn't set well with about 40% of the crowd.
Jim Paschal won the pole in Julian Petty's #44 Pontiac with Junior's Holly Farms Pontiac alongside him. Row 2 was made up of Fred Harb and Jack Smith. Joe Weatherly and Buck Baker qualified 5th and 6th. Emanuel Zervakis and a yet-to-be-King Richard Petty comprised the 4th row. Ned Jarrett and Banjo Matthews rounded out the top 10. Richard was the sole representative for the Petty team as it was still trying to stay on solid footing after Lee Petty's February 1961 accident and months-long recovery. Interestingly, Paschal raced a Petty Enterprises Plymouth in the prior March 1961 A-W race.
Source: Spartanburg Herald
By newspaper accounts, 4,000 folks mobbed the track demanding a refund of their ticket money. FORTY PERCENT of the attendance. I'm not doubting the riot - I'm now doubting the unruliness and mob rule - I'm not doubting the powder keg situation. But 4,000 folks? Who took the head count? Perhaps the 10,000 in attendance was a solid number and reporters just SWAG'd the mob as slightly less than half of those there. I'd love to hear from folks here who were there that day - and who maybe who will confess to taking place in the riot! I'm sure the statute of limitations has run its course after 50+ years. haha

NASCAR had multiple issues to juggle that weekend. The A-W track surface came apart resulting in the shortening of the race and resulting riot. But the France contingent also had their eyes and ears open for any fallout from the recent banning of Curtis Turner and Tim Flock because of their association with the Teamsters Union.
With eyes in the backs of their heads looking for Turner, the track problems, fires in the pits, a riot, teams taking matters into their own hands, overwhelmed law enforcement, etc., about the only thing the evening lacked was pestilence and a locust swarm.

Asphalt issues, early flag sparked fan riot in 1961
By Tom Higgins ThatsRacin.com Contributor
Friday, Feb. 19, 2010
Imagine winner Jamie McMurray, runner-up Dale Earnhardt Jr., Cup champion Jimmie Johnson and their crews being held hostage for ransom by fans, angered over the pothole pratfall taken by NASCAR last weekend during the Daytona 500.
Certainly so nowadays.
But just such a thing happened many years ago, and I was there as a young reporter to see it.
The date: Aug. 13, 1961.
The site: Asheville-Weaverville Speedway, a half-mile track in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The event: The Western North Carolina 500.
Trouble developed almost immediately after the green flag as the speedways asphalt began tearing apart.
Flying pieces of pavement soon were pummeling the race cars and even some fans among an estimated 10,000 on hand.
Rather than going to the press box, I sat in a concrete grandstand along the frontstretch with my new bride. I vividly recall an acquaintance from high school in nearby Burnsville, Louetta Randolph, being hit in the temple by a baseball-sized bit of asphalt that had flown over the fence. Louetta, dazed, was taken to an Asheville hospital as a precaution. She wasn't seriously hurt.
The race rolled on with Junior Johnson dominating in a Pontiac. Junior seemed able to avoid the potholes better than his rivals, perhaps traceable to experience from his years of hauling moonshine on rutted, backwoods roads.
Johnson started on the front row with fellow Pontiac driver Joe Weatherly, the pole winner at 65.704 mph. Junior grabbed the lead on the first lap and didn't relinquish it. He eventually charged three laps ahead despite having a large chunk of asphalt puncture a hole in the windshield right in front of his face.
Relatively feeble efforts were made to repair the pavement, all to no avail.
With the race under a red flag on the 208th of the scheduled 500 laps, NASCAR official Pat Purcell told the drivers and their crews the race would end after 50 more laps. The drivers were to get a final red flag and the checkered flag simultaneously.
Best I recall, no announcement of the decision was made on the tracks loudspeakers.
So it was a surprise to many fans when Johnson was flagged the winner on Lap 258.
And it riled about half those in the crowd at the speedway, destined to shut down in 1969. Some started screaming and yelling in protest.
"I've seen half a race, I want half my money back!" one obviously inebriated guy kept hollering.
Not surprisingly, promoter Gene Sluder had left the premises much earlier with the gate receipts.
The protest grew in intensity.
It quickly became a riot when a large logging truck was pushed onto the cross-over point leading to the infield and pit road. The track had no tunnel, so the competitors were trapped inside.
A would-be mediator appeared from the midst of the irate throng. He was picked up and thrown into a pond.
Additional law enforcement officers from the Buncombe County Sheriff's Office and the N.C. Highway Patrol were summoned. But they were outnumbered and could do little.
As dusk neared, a few crewmen went to the spot where the route out was blocked, hoping to reason with the fuming fans.
It didn't work.
Some people had come to the speedway atop a long, low-lying ridge hoping to see controversy.
At the time, NASCAR founder Big Bill France was battling a group of drivers led by pioneers Curtis Turner and Tim Flock who wanted to affiliate with the Teamsters Union.
It had appeared a showdown would take place at the WNC 500. But Turner and Flock weren't at the track that day.
Rowdies decided to create their own controversy.
Finally, one of them made a big mistake.
"I remember it vividly," says Johnson. "We'd lost patience, and one of the crew fellers, Pop Ergle, went to the gate to tell 'em we were coming out."
"A riot ringleader had a two-by-four, and he poked Pop in the belly with it. Well, Pop, who worked for the team owned by Bud Moore, was a giant of a guy at about 6-6 and 285."
"Pop took the board away from the guy and started swinging it. Before long, the place cleared out and we left."
Not a single refund - and no ransom - was paid.
That is a great addition to the site, Chase. Although I have attended events at Asheville-Weaverville, that was not one of them. Thankfully for me as I am not of the mob ilk. But that's the way the windshield crumbles at times, I suppose. Thanks for the great write up and pictures.

Last year brought many championships and state playoff runs to the athletes in Dawson County. Community support is at an all-time high as witnessed during the boys' basketball Elite Eight game in Dalton.
Following are a list of the major accomplishments of Dawson County athletes and team from 2012.
The Georgia Racing Hall of Fame celebrated its 2012 class of inductees Friday night in Dawsonville.

More bridges
A link has been added to the entry on bridges. The link is to the Tennessee Department of Transportation's website which lists all of the state's 9,000-plus bridges and their dates of last inspection. These do not include federally maintained bridges like those in national parks.
With bridge inspections performed almost daily, linking to the TDOT site made more sense than building the database on our KnoxNews.com site and updating it occasionally.

VALDOSTA — If you haven't heard by now, the Board of Regents has approved the establishment of a football team at Kennesaw State University.
The board approved that move at its meeting this month. Now the university is quickly working to hire its first-ever football coach, a first important step in establishing its Division I-FCS program.
With the university on the search for a head coach suitable for building a program from the ground up, Valdosta State's David Dean has wound up in the mix of possible candidates, although nothing has officially come from anyone at Kennesaw State.
Officials at Valdosta State say they haven't heard anything on whether Dean was interviewing for other jobs, including Kennesaw State.
After talking with a person inside the KSU sports information office Monday morning, Dean doesn't seem to be a main target for the Owls.
"That's a new one to me, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen," the person said, when asked if Dean was a known candidate.
According to that person, he believes Kennesaw State athletic director Vaughn Williams "already has his guy" and is waiting until early March to announce his decision.
If Dean is Kennesaw State's "guy", a press conference introducing him as the head coach would likely come after March 9, when the Blazers close out spring drills with the playing of their spring game.
Kennesaw State has set a Fall 2015 date for when it expects to play its first football game.
A move to the Division I ranks would be one that Dean has positioned himself for in recent seasons. When Dean's good friend and former Valdosta State coaching companion Will Muschamp was hired as the head coach of Florida, Dean was rumored to be a candidate for the offensive coordinator position.

Whisk Smart
For most rising stars of the quickly expanding food TV industry, getting fired by Martha Stewart would be a low point in their careers.
For Claire Robinson, it marked the beginning of her meteoric rise, one that resulted in her own Food Network series, "5 Ingredient Fix."
"Martha Stewart asked me where the peaches were from when we were filming a segment on how to make a peach-nectarine tart," Robinson said, recalling her days as a producer for Stewart's television show, "Everyday Baking for Everyday Food." "I said they were from an orchard."
With that one smart aleck reply, Robinson's relationship with America's best-known domestic diva came to an abrupt end. But not before she had to duck a whisk full of whipped cream that Stewart had thrown at her head.
"That was my last day," Robinson said. "But I left there knowing both sides of food and kitchen shows: How to cook on camera and how to produce a TV show."
Robinson recalled her rise to food television stardom in hilarious detail during "A Literary Luncheon featuring Claire Robinson," an event hosted by the Richard T. Barker Friends of the Library at the Meadowbrook Inn and Conference Center in Blowing Rock last Friday.
Robinson is the granddaughter of Dr. Tom Carpenter of Blowing Rock, a former member of Appalachian State University's Belk Library advisory board. She was born in Jacksonville, Fla., and her family eventually moved to Memphis, Tenn., where she graduated from the University of Memphis in 1999.
In 2004, Robinson moved to New York City and graduated from the French Culinary Institute in 2005. Since then, she has cooked as a private chef and has worked on culinary production teams for a number of cooking series, including the Food Network's "Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello."
In addition to hosting "5 Ingredient Fix," she has also authored a cookbook of the same name and will publish her second book of recipes this year.
"In my mind, Julia Child was the original reality TV star," Robinson said. "She was the first person to cook on live television in a regular series and nothing has been the same since."
Robinson stated that she first came up with the concept for creating dishes that featured a small number of ingredients when she was working as a cook on a tour boat in southern France.
"I wanted to do a farm-to-table TV show, but they said, 'No, that will never work,'" she said. "One of the proposed concepts was a show called 'Everyday Gourmet,' which I hated. I just think the word 'gourmet' would be off-putting or intimidating to some people.
"I learned about 'few ingredient' cooking working on a barge in southern France. There was the captain named Julia, her dog and me on the barge. And we were paid to take people up and down the river. But here's the thing about southern France: There are no grocery stores. Things like butter are really hard to find and expensive. So I learned to use duck fat, even when I was making desserts."
Robinson described how part of her barge cooking job entailed her riding a bike to the nearest farms to purchase whatever was in season at the time.
"My French is horrible, so sometimes I would draw on a pad the types of food and vegetables I was looking for," she said. "But I learned to love to cook with just a few ingredients."
In her show, Robinson emphasizes fresh ingredients, preferably those that are produced locally.
"I always try to use fresh ingredients, but I'm not a fanatic about it," she said. "For instance, I really don't like shucking peas, so I don't have a problem using those frozen guys. They are fine. And if you've ever made puff pastry from scratch, you'll probably never want to do it again."
She also emphasized that cooks should be flexible and understand that a recipe is a guideline rather than a rule book.
"I had a guy in my audience one time who said he really didn't like one of my recipes, which called for a lot of basil," Robinson said. "I asked him what he didn't like about it, and he said he just didn't like the taste of basil. Well, duh. If there are only five ingredients in a recipe, you better believe that they will all show up at the final party. I told him to try the same recipe with mint instead."
Robinson said that she is very excited with the way cable television shows about cooking and food have changed the very culture of how we eat.
"Food binds us all," she said. "We all have to eat. People love talking about food, and it is such an incredible icebreaker. It's become part of our lifestyle and culture.
"I remember in the days of Julia Child, you really had to look for an ingredient, such as shitake mushrooms. Now, I see dried shitakes in the 7-11. The more we demand fresh food, the more it will be there."
During the question and answer portion of Robinson's presentation, she described her best and worst experiences as a private chef in New York.
"One of the best experiences I had was working for a couple, the actor who portrayed the original Marlboro Man and his partner, a Broadway producer," Robinson said. "They loved to host theme parties and I would suggest things to them like, 'Let's do an Asian party,' and I would go to the market and get all of the food and make the party's menu from scratch. It was one of my first jobs as a chef, and it really gave me a lot of confidence that I could do this sort of thing. It was a life-changing experience.
"The worst experience was cooking for a party hosted by a celebrity couple. The menu included white salmon with prosciutto and a yogurt spice drizzle. Everything was going splendidly until the last two dishes caught fire. Needless to say, I was not asked to return."
Robinson said that if she had to pick three tools that she could not do without in her kitchen, they would be a really great sharp knife, a top-of-the-line blender, and a large Dutch oven or skillet.
"Black steel is great," she said. "I try to avoid those non-stick pans at all cost. They get scratched and get bacteria in the scratches."
Needless to say, Robinson's learned a lot since her experience with Stewart, and she's more than happy to pass it down.
"I don't see myself as a celebrity, I see myself as a teacher," she said. "If I hadn't ended up on the Food Network, I would've become a teacher."

Carmel's Rajeev Ram has a banner summer going on the professional men's tennis tour. Fresh off of a semifinal showing in Newport, Rhode Island—at the Campbell's Hall of Fame Championships on grass courts—he turned in another semifinal performance in the Farmers Classic, Los Angeles' ATP World Tour event. After topping No. 3 seed Leonardo Mayer of Argentina by the score of 7-6, 6-3, Ram lost by that same score transposed to eventual champ Sam Querrey, whom he beat for the Newport grass tournament title in 2009.
That's two semifinals in three weeks' time for Ram, two of the three in his pro singles career to date. He's ranked No. 93 in the world as of today's new ATP rankings, with Querrey up to No. 38 and Mayer at No. 63. Ram's ranking leaps 24 spots, the most of any man nestled in the Top 100.
"It just didn't happen overnight," Ram says, per AP. "I kind of re-evaluated my tennis. Not like, 'Do I want to keep playing?' but just how I was going about it and trying to make improvements. I felt like I was giving too many points away, both mentally and by going for too much, and [needed] just to find a way to make more guys beat me. If a guy beats me by hitting more winners, then he beats me."
Ram is engaged in off-court battles lately as well, notably with transportation workers:
