- Though very little is known about sleep in wild cetaceans, toothed cetaceans in captivity sleep with one side of their brain at a time [1]. Such uni-hemispheric sleep is thought to enable swimming, voluntary breathing, predator avoidance and/or social contact during sleep at sea [2,3]. Using suction cup tags, we discovered that sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) worldwide conduct passive shallow 'drift-dives' in stereotypical vertical postures just below the sea surface. Bouts of drift-dives accounted for 7.1% of recording time, or 36.7% of non-foraging time. Drift-dives were weakly diurnal, occurring least from 06:00–12:00 (3% of records), and most from 18:00–24:00 (30% of records). A group of vertically drifting whales were atypically non–responsive to a closely-passing vessel until it inadvertently touched them, suggesting that sperm whales might sleep during these stereotypical resting dives.
Main Text
We measured the underwater activity level of 59 sperm whales worldwide using data-logging tags attached with suction cups for a total of 562.9 hours (see Supplemental data available on-line with this issue for further details). Predominantly (80.6% of time), tagged whales conducted foraging dive bouts, which differ from non-foraging shallow dives (19.4% of time) in depth or the presence of echolocation clicks [4]. Although it has been suggested that sperm whales may rest at depth [5], we found that they swam steadily, or continually produced clicks during deep dives.
Instead we discovered that 31 of 59 whales across all tagging locations conducted inactive shallow dives ('drift-dives'), with inactive durations ranging from 0.7-31.5 min (mean: 12.7 ± 8.7 s.d., N = 70), with surfacing times of 7.7 ± 6.0 min between them. Bouts of drift-dives had highly variable durations, ranging from 0.7-233.5 min (quartiles: 3.7, 8.1, 38.7 min). Logistic regression showed that drift-dives were more likely to be present in longer records (t57 = 2.19, p = 0.029), indicating that some tag deployments were too short to record this rare behavior. Drift-dives had two forms depending on how they were initiated by the whale (Figure 1). Maximum tag depth was greater during 'head-down' (16.5 ± 4.9 m) versus 'head-up' (8.6 ± 4.8 m) drift-dives (t4 = 5.81, P < 0.001), though duration did not differ significantly ('head-up': 11.8 ± 9.2 min; 'head-down': 13.4 ± 8.7 min; t48 = 0.63, P = 0.54). It is unclear why sperm whales have two forms of resting dives, but the greater depth attained during 'head-down' dives may provide more stability for a whale resting at sea.
The vertical drifting posture recorded by the tags matches that of whales occasionally observed at sea (Figure 2). In an opportunistic experiment, video was recorded from R/V Balaena as it approached a group of 12–13 whales under sail alone (see Supplemental movie ). Six whales can clearly be seen to be motionless in a vertical posture with the head at or just below the sea surface. Three vertical whales were unusually non-responsive to the very close (<2 m) approach of the vessel, reacting only when unintentionally touched by the vessel, after which the entire group moved away. In contrast, a horizontally logging whale in the group reacted to the vessel at ∼8 m distance.
Our study reveals that sperm whales worldwide rest in a stereotypical fashion by drifting vertically under the sea surface. Sleep in captive cetaceans is usually studied using EEG or inspection of eye state, not feasible with large wild cetaceans. However, inactivity and stereotypical posture are two criteria of behavioral sleep in mammals. Lack of a response to the unusually close vessel approach until they were touched in the one instance we observed indicate that the final two criteria: elevated response thresholds and rapidly reversibility to wakefulness with sufficient stimulation [6] may also be met. More data are needed to confirm that the whales did not respond for other reasons, but we can hypothesize that sperm whales might conduct drift-dives in order to sleep.
Drift-dive bouts accounted for 7.1% of the tag records, which would be less sleep than any other mammal studied [2,6]. However, the cetacean adaptation for uni-hemispheric sleep may enable sperm whales to sleep during other low-level activities such as ascent from depth [4] and surfacing-time during which whales voluntary breathe, interact socially, and perform movements to remain horizontal (Figure 1). Drift dives are a lower-activity state, though, and we propose that it could benefit sperm whales to take advantage of more-efficient bi-hemispheric sleep during drift-dives, as do phocid seals [3,7]. Interestingly, two drifting whales did not react to the vessel approach, though it passed across the field of vision of both eyes (Figure 2), consistent with bi-hemispheric sleep [8]. However, in contrast to captive birds and otariid seals which sleep uni-hemispherically or bi-hemispherically depending on the context [3], captive cetaceans almost never sleep bilaterally [1,8,9] even when they are motionless [10]. Unraveling how marine mammals manage the inherent tradeoff [3] between wakefulness and sleep will require the development of procedures for observing eye closure and other physiological variables, including EEG, in free-ranging animals.

Severn River to Play in the D2 Final |
Clubs - Women's Clubs | |
Best game of the day during the Women's D2 Club Championship belongs to Severn River and Beantown. It was an intense forward-heavy battle between two aggressive teams, but the Maryland side prevailed with a 19-5 victory and berth to the final. Severn advanced to the semifinals with a 12-10 win over the Las Vegas Slots, and the main criticism in yesterday's quarterfinal was their timidity in the first half. That wasn't the case today. "We respect Beantown," Severn River coach Pamela Gouws said. "We played them at Saranac and knew they were going to be tough. We came out on the attack today, fixed some of errors from yesterday and played our game plan." From the kickoff, Severn River retained good possession in Beantown's half and battered a solid defense. But then No. 8 Candace Coston quick-tapped through a penalty and caught some slow-adjusting defenders off guard, making good ground close to the 22 meter. A sustained punch-and-go series allowed the team to inch closer to the tryline, and Jaclyn Meslopp finally dove over for the try, which flyhalf Meredith McAlister converted, 7-0. Severn River relied on their offloads in contact to keep the ball in play, and Beantown attempted to adjust by putting two bodies on the ballcarrier. It worked to an extent but resulted in a lot of scrambling. "It seemed like they didn't like to get involved in the ruck," Gouws said. "By having a lot of pick-and-goes and offloads around the point of contact, we got them engaged in the rucks. They weren't able to just set a flat line on defense and we took them out of their game plan." That's not to say Beantown weren't good ruckers – they were. And they got good forward momentum from flanker Tara Roberts around the fringe. Beantown had a good scoring opportunity from a nice kick downfield, but an unfortunate turnover handed Severn a scrum. McCalister made a nice weakside break that continued with more offloads in traffic and some slipped tackles down the sideline. Wing Carmen Farmer found enough room down the line to dive over the try line for the first of her two tries. McCalister's conversion made it 14-0. Both point scorers had excellent games. "This is Carmen's first season," Gouws said. "She's in her 30s and never played rugby before. She's a superb athlete and a great finishing wing. Meredith had a wonderful game as well. She did a great job controlling the backline and setting up plays." Beantown got into Severn's end when flyhalf Anne Venner kicked downfield and her side turned over the subsequent ruck. A scrum soon followed, the ball shipped wide, but Beantown couldn't straighten their lines and were smothered on the far side of the field. But then a couple of punches later and Anne Paschke was over for the try, 14-5. Severn River looked like they were going to score again early in the second half, camped on Beantown's line and running punch after punch at the defense. Beantown absorbed it very well, and Severn missed some opportunities to ship it to backs unguarded. Beantown was eventually awarded a scrum, but Venner's clearing kick only went about 10 meters to the middle of the field and was returned quickly. The ball worked wide to Farmer, who got around the corner for the score, 19-5. Both sides' backlines didn't get as much ball as they should have, but when Beantown had the opportunity to counter off a missed pass or loose ball, players knocked on or made some error that would hand possession back. Severn wasn't perfect either, and they received two yellow cards for entering through the sides. "Beantown is a really good mauling team," Gouws said. "Players would get spun around, and when they came out, they didn't know where they were and just pounded back in. I told them to pause, take a minute, then come back in through the back foot. We panicked a little, and those were just a couple of the mistakes – along with ball placement, keeping our feet – that we won't make tomorrow." Severn River played at nationals two years ago, but that was a different team then. That team traveled light, and this year, about 35 girls made the trip. "We're all smiling that we're in the championship, and they're excited that we've gotten here," Gouws said. "It's been a step-by-step process, and it's taken everyone to get here. If you have a belief like that, where you include everyone on the team, you can win." Severn River will play Pittsburgh in the final tomorrow. Pittsburgh held off a tenacious Ft. Miami side to a 3-0 win. |

Prosecutors identified Hughart as having served as president of Massey's Green Valley "resource group," which included White Buck. But Hughart also worked for Massey for more than 20 years, serving as an officer or a director at more than two dozen subsidiaries, according to public records.
In April, Goodwin's office revealed in court documents in a civil case that former Massey Energy executives and board members "may be, or may become" targets in the criminal investigation. So far in the probe, three people have pleaded guilty and a jury convicted a fourth.
Last year, Berger twice delayed the sentencing of former Upper Big Branch Mine superintendent Gary May to give prosecutors more time to develop evidence based on May's testimony. May pleaded guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to thwart the federal government's mine safety efforts. He was sentenced in January to 21 months in prison, three years of probation and a $20,000 fine.
Former UBB miner Thomas Harrah was sentenced to 10 months in jail after he admitted to faking a foreman's license when he performed key mine safety examinations at the mine between January 2008 and August 2009, and then lied to investigators about his actions.
Berger sentenced a former Upper Big Branch security director, Hughie Elbert Stover, to 36 months in jail after Stover was convicted of two felonies: Making a false statement and obstructing the government probe of the mine disaster.
Four government and independent investigations blamed the Upper Big Branch deaths on a pattern by Massey Energy of violating federal standards concerning mine ventilation and the control of highly explosive coal dust, both of which set the stage for a small methane ignition to turn into a huge coal-dust-fueled explosion.
Goodwin reached a deal not to prosecute Alpha Natural Resources for any Upper Big Branch criminal liabilities that it inherited when it purchased Massey Energy in June 2011. That deal required the company to spend $80 million during the next two years on mine safety improvements and create a $48 million mine safety research trust fund. Alpha also agreed to pay $46.5 million in restitution to families of the disaster victims and $35 million to resolve pending Massey safety fines, including $10.8 million levied for violations related to the Upper Big Branch explosion.
Goodwin's deal allowed federal officials to pursue potential criminal cases against any individuals -- including Massey executives -- for violations related to the mine disaster.

The ability of the United States and Russia to cooperate in Afghanistan represents a solid test of their reset in relations. The author provides the historical background to the Afghanistan Question and assesses current events in the Afghan war with three objectives in mind: 1) To determine whether Russian-American cooperation in Afghanistan has been successful; 2) To identify and evaluate the successes and failures of the counterinsurgency strategy as the transition from U.S. to Afghanistan authority gains traction in the 2011-14 time frame; and 3) To provide conclusions and recommendations bearing on developments in Afghanistan.

Sunday Morning Coffee
Barron's had an article that questions the assumption that people should plan on needing 80% (I thought it was more like 70%?) of their pre-retirement income after they retire.
This is something I have written about several times, the first time was more than two years ago.
After sorting out expenses that are likely to go up after retirement and the ones likely to go down I think most people would find that overall their total outlays would go down.
As far as how much you need to save; I have recently stumbled across a couple of different people that came up with a similar notions. One said that for every $1000 you spend per month you need $230,000 and the other person came up, I think, with $240,000. One of the two was Paul Farrell and I'm sorry I don't recall the other.
Applying this to real people; Joellyn and I spend just under $3000 per month (this includes travel, does not include what we save, we have no mortgage and just one car payment). Other than the car payment and what we now save our expenses are not likely to go down too much, we obviously live modestly on purpose. This implies we need $720,000 in today's dollars. Assuming 3% annual inflation our expenses would double in 24 years and so our nest egg would need to be worth $1,440,000 in 24 years. Here I am just using the rule of 72.
If equities double every ten years, which assumes returns on the low side, the numbers have a chance of working out.
I tend to be conservative when it comes to planning so I am not counting on Social Security which would cover a lot of our need. I am planning to work for as long as my mind will continue to function.
If your life is simple (I realize ours is peculiarly simple) then the planning can be simple. Things like working in your career longer, eBaying away your crap (or in our case my in-laws crap), doing a new job in retirement or anything else you've read about that retired people do for money serves to reduce the stress on your portfolio. The numbers above assume a roughly 5% draw down. Anything you can do that could bring that down to something like 3% should be explored in my opinion.
If you don't want to hire help with planning you do need to work out these numbers for your situation and no what you are facing. Also not discussed here are surprises like health issues, financially having to bail out an adult child or anything else you can think of.
The NCAA tourney certainly kicked it up a notch yesterday with plenty of overtime and close games. On a personal note my wife has been much more tolerant of all the hoops this year. Hmm, I wonder what's coming round the corner.

One problem is thinking of inflation as a constant 3%. Even if CPI (or whatever gauge you want to use) reads 3% every year, your consumption patterns will invariably pick and choose some goods/services where rising prices are below the average inflation, and some that are above average.
When you're young, you get to enjoy buying things made in China, maybe some inexpensive dinners out at a local restaurant, and similar goods.
When you get older, you have all the "stuff" you need, and all you really care about is your quality of life -- which you deal with through health care spending (and probably some trips and stuff for the grandkids).
Guess what has consistently had rising prices above the average inflation rate? Health care.
All these generic "you need 80% of your current income to retire" salvos miss the big picture (whether sponsored by Random Roger or not). When you get older your spending patterns change, and your preferences do too. You start to get hit by the ugly side of the inflation imbalances.
I'm in the same boat as you -- I'm young and have low living costs. However, I have also seen how quickly health care prices are rising for our parents... and the trend is not about to reverse itself or be blessed by some "productivity miracle" in the health care space.

My wife is not an NCAA fan. There is a tourney bracket pool in her office that she really had no interest in partaking in, but I nudged her saying: 1) it's a good morale/team-building exercise 2) luck does just as well as skill in these things and 3) I'll pay your entry fee (a whopping $10). She filled out her own bracket and joined.
Now this weekend she's next to me on the coach with her bracket and a highlighter, yelling at the TV as Washington St goes down in double overtime.
Awesome. - 8:57 AM

Although I hope to continue "working" into my retirement years, I'm not counting on that income in my retirement planning. I've read a number of surveys that suggest that many folks are counting on that as a major source of income (along with their SS checks I suppose).
Twenty years from now I don't want to be in a situation where I have to work in order to make ends meet. Attitudes change - I might find an interest or hobby to pursue full time that doesn't generate much if any income. Also, I don't want to find myself in the poor house if I'm disabled and can't work.
Roger, did the Barron's article say 80% is too much or not enough? - 9:13 AM

I think that too many people worry about retirement while in the present they spend and debt their way into oblivion -never connecting the dots along the way.
Then they will demand government classification as a victim in retirement.
We may very well get national health care and other schemes. Anything for votes,amigo.But at what price? Maybe our medical personnel and ambulance chasing attorney-types will be worthy recipients of price controls. - 9:27 AM

MattyP congrats on converting a new fan, not easy to do. I have been working on Joellyn since the 1992 tourney (our first one together); no dice.
TomK, Barron's general conclusion was 80% is too much. Your ar living on less than that now as you pay taxed, a mortgage and save for retirement. - 9:42 AM

As far as working... I believe in being willing if you are able...even if you save properly. I am not saying full time in a job you dislike but something. I have written several times about my neighbor who is 75, the best physical speciman for a 75 year old man I have ever met (he is an active firefighter) who makes money doing backhoe work. He basically makes $60 per hour playing in the dirt on his toy.
It is possible there is some equivalent within the things that interest you that could evolve into a vocation.
The chance of relieving your portfolio of 25% of what it needs to do could be huge if there is no stock market growth when you are ages 65-70. - 9:51 AM

The statistics have shown that a 4% withdrawal rate has a high 90s % success rate for retirees. Based on that, I'd say a 25x expense rate as a retirement pool would be a good target to shoot for, and to evaluate the situation once you manage that figure.

By my calculations, by the time your wife loves the hoops, your nest egg should be sufficient for retirement.
This is of course a much more scientific approach than the Barron's article.
Oh ya, and GO PITT! - 11:17 AM

I didn't tell my wife about this, but I will share it with you.
My goal is to have plenty of money until my 112th birthday, at which time I will be shot be a jealous husband. - 1:45 PM

T, that is the best retirement plan i have ever heard.

The "save $230k for every $1k/month" was from Charles Schwab via a Paul Farrell article.

Purpose: Finishing a car project. I don't expect to use this very often.Impressions;It's as some weight to it as opposed to feeling cheap. I tried the "hole punch" feature first. At first I thought it didn't work.. But it did, it was that good. It knocks holes in sheet like butter. And with almost no sound.. and tiny amount of air. I wanted to start punching everything I could find.The flanger worked too. It doesn't flange as deep as I might have wanted (but for the cost?). But it's good enough to leave a nice shelf for a overlap. Add the perfect holes and you've got a low cost solution for a professional look.Drilling holes for the same purpose would be horrible.. This is so much easier. It's a BUY! I did (for once) buy the 1yr insurance for about $4.50. I have read where there have been failures.

After reading the reviews I thought I would try this flanger. I tried it on 3 different body panels. It seems NOT to be able to create/bend the panels deep enough {16g} so that the opposing panels are even with or below the surface of the flanged panel. The UNflanged metal is actually above the surface of the flanged panel. I have a shop and my compressor holds 125 lbs. pressure, tool needs only 90. This has created abig issue with me as I didn't try it on scrap before hand. Now i have a mess to deal with because of this inferor product, and my own stupidity. I should have known better. Over 1.5 hour travle time I doubt it's worth returning.

Amazing Tool and Value
By Tony

About Me Professional
Comments about Central Pneumatic Air Punch Flange Tool:
I have seen this tool for a long time and always thought about it but just didn't want to gamble with the money. Finally decided to try it based on the reviews here and the dumbest thing I ever did was not buy this thing years ago. I do a ton of sheet metal work for stock car interiors and build bodies with aluminum sheets. So simple to pull the trigger and punch a hole for riviting or plug welding. I love the flange feature for the interior panels. THIS THING IS AWESOME!
Comment on this review
great tool
By sg
from las vegas
See all my reviews
Great tool so far. I have used it for a quarter panel instillation and other general sheet metal fab work. It has worked as expected. I have only used it for a few jobs but so far so good. The hole punch is a great option, it makes nice holes for plug welds in sheet metal and is a big time saver. Thanks HF
Happily Surprised
By Dan
from Boston MA
Punches holes fast and easy, I have done hundreds on body panels to enable plug welding. Flanging side works great if you want an overlap seam for welding two panels together. Nice tool at super cheap price.
may be alittle odd to handle BUT
By fast eddie
from Williamsport,pa
Please read the instructions, unit had an oil leak out of the box, after filling, was very surprised unit was so quite when making holes, fast, saved me a ton of time & work, no drilling & cleaning holes, offset flanger worked very nicely, panels overlapped and layed flat, very easy to weld or rivet that way, will buy another one for a backup

I have had this about a year. Used it while making some patch panels to be welded in. works great
Great tool for a great price!
By Jeep Rob
from New Haven, CT
I have been doing collision repair for over 8 years and I've used flange tools that cost hundreds. This tool is the same quality as the expensive ones. I have not had any issues with this tool, even after years of use, and even dropping it a few times. Great inexpensive investment.

Wonderful Tool
By Alfonso
from Undisclosed
This Tool is one of those tools I wish i could use more, I found myself looking for more to punch, and it was so quick I felt like I didn't get enough time enjoying how simple and easy this tool was to operate, so I just admired the results of my work. I recently replaced the entire roof of my 70's muscle car that I'm working on and I used the punch feature of this tool on 18 GA sheet metal. it never missed a beat and used very little air in the process. I would recommend to anyone, I did play with the flange feature, I can"t wait to put it into practice, now if I can only get my welds to look as good.
By pro body man 20 yrs
the tool for the money is a good tool i have two in my shop
By keith
bought this tool to use for putting new lower door skin on my truck. It worked perfectly the flange allowed me to overlap the old skin with the new skin for welding , turned out great.

LIVE from the Queen City: (10) Georgia vs. (7) Washington
68-65 WASH Final
Like my colleague Mike Reiter said, a frustrating season ends with a frustrating loss. A Trey Thompkins three briefly gave Georgia hope, bringing the score to 67-65. Sends Washington to the line. Where they make one of two. 68-65. Robinson finds Leslie to try and sink the three, but Isaiah Thomas, of course, attempts to swat it down. Lelslie somehow gets a hold of hit, but can only launch a one-handed three-pointer that bounces off the left side of the backboard.
Just some quick postgame stats:
-Trey Thompkins had yet another great performance in the postseason: 26 points on 11-14 shooting, including 2-2 from three, and 11 rebounds. All in 39 minutes.
-Isaiah Thomas responsded out of halftime with 15 second half points, going 7-7 from the line.
-Believe it or not, Georgia actually won the rebounding battle in the second half, 16-11 (6-4 offensive, 10-7 defensive).
-Stat that explains loss? Probably this one. Washington had 17 points off of 15 turnovers by Georgia. Georgia had 3 off of 5 by Washington.
I have to make a big drive so I don't have time to really talk about this game. Instead Mike will fill you in on postgame media conferences.
Fun season, Georgia.
Washington calls a 30-second timeout. Georgia needs to score here. But they don't. Thomas gets a steal and is sent to the line to shoot two, makes first and second.
Georgia gets a two from Thompkins and calls a full-timeout. With only 34.2 remaining, Georgia needs a turnover. Fox sends in Vincent Williams. Que?
Price at the line shooting one-and-one. Washington with 8 team fouls. Getting into double bonus and slowing down this game may be only way Georgia can get back in this one. Georgia still cannot stop Washington on the other end. Ping-pong.
Darnell Gant with a wide open dunk. How will Georgia respond?
Just had a fan behind me scream, "Come on, somebody lead!" Not the worst point in the world.
Isaiah Thomas starting to come on a bit strong. Has four straight points and just forced an offensive foul on Thompkins. Also has his season average of 6 assists with seven minutes to play.
Probably feeling like we've been here before. Georgia having problems with the press so Fox calls time-out to cool down team.
Leslie gets a put-back that is not called for basket interference and gets a foul. Huskies respond with a Scott Suggs three. Teams trade baskets. UGA's defensive rebounding catching up to them.
Georgia comes out looking to establish Price early with a two off the glass. UGA goes into zone and forces late three from Thomas, but fouls him. Makes all three free throws. Price picks up deadly third foul. Chris Barnes once again to be heavily relied on. Questionable call when Barnes lay in rims out, but Leslie slams back in. Referee calls basket interference. Sends Georgia fans and Fox into stir. Washington coming with the press…
Halftime 28-28
Forgive the pun. It's a dog fight out there.
UGA having some troubles down the stretch getting defesnive rebounds. Darnell Grant had a tip-in at 3:46 and Isaiah Thomas was able to even the score with a spinning lay-up after Washington was able to get another shot before the clock expired.
Best Georgia play came from Travis Leslie who penetrated into the center of the lane, pulled up but dropped the ball to Thompkins who finished with yet another dunk and a foul.
I'd say Georgia is playing a pretty decent game so far. They are turning the ball over a little too much, but not allowing Washington to capitalize. Still would like to see Thompkins get more inside, but Washington's length making a lot of UGA's entry passes difficult.
Stats that stick out to me are the turnovers (UGA 8, WASH 3), fast break points (UGA 2, WASH 12), and bench points (UGA 0, WASH 14).
Probably need to fix at least one of those three things if you want to win this game. Georgia has the slight rebounding edge 20-18.
Washington launching a lot of threes. Currently 2-14 from beyond the arc while Georgia is 3-6. Neither shooting particulary well with UGA at 11-26 and Washington 12-34.
Leading point man is Thompkins with 15. Robinson second with 8. Leading rebounder is Thompkins with 8.
Thomas so far is 2-7 from the field, 0-2 from three with 4 points. Can't ask for much better D. Of course, there is always a second half.
Since we last posted, UGA has turned the ball over four times. Lucky enough Washington has only converted those to two points. Only bright spot was Thompkins pull-up three. Shooters gotta shoot, I suppose.
Georgia scoreless since Leslie's raucous dunk. After hitting two threes earlier, Robinson airballs one. Dustin Ware settles for long three from himself. Fox tries to get some bench relief with Williams, Barnes, and Thornton with Robisnon and Ware. Price with two fouls, will likely see limited playing time rest of half.
Robinson three. Trey rebound and slam. Leslie steal and dunk. All I could type within timeout.
12:47 1st, 12-9 WASH
After scoring five unanswered points, Washington comes roaring back with a threes from Scott Suggs, C.J. Wilcox, and Thomas' first basket, a lay-up following a long miss from Thompkins.
Dogs looking sloppy on offense, forcing difficult jumpers.
15:57 1st, 4-3 UGA
Georgia finally gets it's first field goal at the 15:57 mark. Travis Leslie makes a nice pass inside to Trey Thompkins who makes the basket and is fouled. Free-throws to come.
Thomas scoreless so far. As expected, Robinson is taking him defensively. For a moment, Georgia went into zone. Will be interesting to see if they continue this look. Refs controlling game a bit too much.
Hey folks, we're still a bit from tip-off, but I figured I'd start the 'ole blog up a little early so we get a nice little look into tonight's match-up.
I already listed some pre-game "Keys to the Game" here. Check those out and let me know what you think.
Tonight's projected starting line-ups are as follows, previews for Georgia players and stats for Washington players:
Georgia Bulldogs (21-11, 9-7 SEC)
#1 F Travis Leslie, 6-4 Jr. Coming off back-back to back doubles in both SEC Tournament games.
#33 F Trey Thompkins, 6-10 Jr. Only two rebounds against Alabama, will need to rebound aggressively tonight.
#50 F Jeremy Price, 6-8 Sr. Five personal fouls kept Price limited last week, only 6 points.
#3 G Dustin Ware, 5-11 Jr. Lead SEC in 3P% and Assist-to-turnover ratio.
#22 G Gerald Robinson, 6-1 Jr. Shot 6 for 24 in SEC Tourney. Did have 11 assists and 6 steals against Alabama though.
Washington Huskies (23-10, 11-7 Pac-10)

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Attorneys gave their final summaries and appeals to jurors Monday in a trial that seeks to determine the responsibility of the major tobacco companies in hundreds of cigarette-linked illnesses and deaths in West Virginia.
Jury selection, beginning with a staggering pool of 8,000 Kanawha County residents, began in mid-April. Senior Status Judge Arthur Recht of Ohio County is presiding.
Missouri attorney Kenneth McClain gave a three-hour closing argument Monday morning for the plaintiffs, followed by comments from defense attorneys representing the corporations. Those proceedings went late into the afternoon.
McClain told those jurors that at one time 40 percent of cigarette smokers, or three of seven, would become sick. And he tried to convince them that the manufacturers knew it but chose to sell an unsafe product anyway.
"How many does it take to say it's not safe?" he asked. "All of them?"
The mass litigation lawsuit was filed against Philip Morris, Lorillard, R.J. Reynolds, American Tobacco Co. and Brown and Williamson.
McClain said despite improvements and efforts to reduce the chemicals in cigarettes, lung cancer rates among smokers soared.
"We expect manufacturers to make the safest products they can," McClain said. "What a terribly tragic business this is. It has contributed to this terrible legacy and destruction."
McClain said the tobacco companies had the research and test results to show the bad effects of nicotine, tar and other chemicals, and could have made a safer cigarette.
Instead, he said, they cultivated the addiction by making smoking seem exciting and sexy in the 1950s and 60s, promoting it by using cultural icons like the "I Love Lucy" Show, "The Flintstones," John Wayne and Dick Van Dyke.
They concealed the dangers of smoking, he said, even though they were aware of them. Decisions on product development, testing and marketing were made primarily under the advice of their lawyers.
Defense attorneys said that isn't the case.
Jeff Furr, representing R.J. Reynolds, said, "Cigarettes are not defective by design; they are defective by nature. They are really an agricultural product that has been grown in this country for 5,000 years.

Saturday Morning Update
Good morning to everyone! Another exciting ending for the Beloit Snappers last night in the playoffs. Would the Rochester Red Wings allow Francisco Liriano to make a start for them tonight? And, how did the Twins do against the Tigers with Matt Garza on the mound? I thought a very quick this morning would be good because there are a lot of exciting things going on as the Twins drive toward the Wild Card and two of the four Twins affiliates that made the playoffs are still alive.
Friday SethSpeaks Player of the Day – Eli Tintor, Beloit Snappers
Friday SethSpeaks Pitcher of the Day – Alexander Smit, Beloit Snapper
If you have any thoughts on the Twins system, please e-mail me.
Friday - Red Wings 3, Scranton/Wilkes Barre 6 – The Red Wings knew that the Twins plans for Francisco Liriano would have been too confusing if they had won last night, so they lost. Tonight, Liriano will make a rehab start for the team. I'm kidding, of course, they just got beat. Peter Munro started and gave up three runs on ten hits and two walks in just 4.1 innings. Jason Miller came in and gave up two runs in 1.2 innings. Levale Speigner then gave up a run in his 1.2 innings. Matt Ford got the last out. The offense was again led by Garrett Jones who went 3-3.
Friday – Snappers 4, Peoria 3 – On Thursday night, Eli Tintor hit a game winning home run in the 9th. On Friday night, he hit the game-winning, two-run home run in the 8th and the Snappers bullpen was able to hold on for the win. The win puts the Snappers into the second round of the playoffs. In the game, the Snappers had just three hits. Allan de San Miguel went 1-2 with two walks and an RBI. The day that he was named the SethSpeaks Pitcher of the Month, Alexander Smit continued his impressive run with seven strong innings for the win. He gave up two runs (just 1 earned) on three hits. He walked four and struck out ten. Adam Hawes and Ryan Mullins combined to pitch a perfect 8th inning before Dan Leatherman recorded the save with a two strikeout ninth.
Do you have any further thoughts on any Twins prospects, minor leaguers, or these summaries? I would love any input, or ideas to make it better. Thanks! E-mail me, or also feel free to leave comments below.
That is it for today! Have a terrific day!

7 ways baking soda can save you time and money
Baking Soda
by AC Gaughen
Related Articles |
Many Uses of Baking Soda
10 Common Uses for Baking Soda 24 Baking Soda Solutions |
Baking soda is sold for pennies an ounce (and generally less than a dollar for a pound), and it's one of the safest substances that you'll ever use for any cleaning purpose since you can, and frequently do, ingest it. Yet, very few people use it for more than recipes. Instead, most Americans stock a full cabinet full of overly specific and harsh cleaners, deodorizers and chemicals. To save money and keep your home safe for yourself, family and pets, consider instead all these fantastic uses for baking soda.
1. Unclog the Drain
Most chemicals that you pour down the drain to break up clogs are extremely hazardous if they so much as touch your skin, and the pipes in many older homes can actually be compromised and weakened by such harsh chemicals. Add to that the high cost (upwards of $12 for a one or two dose bottle) and the fact that most plumbers don't recommend it for use in anyone's house, and baking soda becomes not only the cheaper option, but the safer one as well.
To unclog your drain with baking soda, shake one cup of baking soda down the drain. Follow it with one cup of vinegar (another cheap item) and wait 20 minutes before pouring six cups of boiling water down the drain. This is a great option, especially for dissolving hair in drains.
2. Cleaning Surfaces
Baking soda is a very effective cleaning agent because it absorbs and neutralizes bacteria and grease; the only thing you shouldn't use it on is aluminum and brushed metal surfaces, but it is a fantastic cleaner for ceramic, porcelain, stone, plastic and many other surfaces.
Mix baking soda with a few teaspoons of water until a thick paste is formed, and apply that paste to the surface you need to clean.
3. Acid Fighter
Baking soda is an amphoteric, which basically means that it's a neutralizer because it reacts with both acids and bases. This means that, in addition to being really useful in laboratories, it has several interesting uses in the house. Many doctors will prescribe baking soda mixed with water to reduce acidic buildup in your stomach and intestines.
4. Balance Out Your Water
Because of the neutralizing properties of baking soda, it also means that if your pool has too much chlorine, adding baking soda with increase the pH level of the pool and reduce the effect of too much chlorine. This trick also works for the same problem in aquariums.
5. Flame Retardant
Yes, baking soda even works as a flame retardant, and because of its common location in most kitchens, it's particularly effective in dousing stovetop fires. When using it to douse a fire, be generous with your application and cover all the flames and embers so that no air can continue to feed the flames. The only type of fire that baking soda is not as effective on is grease fires. It will still work with smaller fires, but larger grease fires will be resistant and should be treated with a fire extinguisher or flame blanket.
6. Deodorizer
Baking soda absorbs bacteria from the air, so in a closed environment like a refrigerator, it can absorb all the really horrible smells that can sometimes emanate from your fridge. Simply open a box and put it in your fridge to work, or place a small amount in a dish in your fridge for the same effect.
Just remember that once you use baking soda as a deodorizer, you can technically reuse it in baking, but it will carry with it the bacteria it absorbs, so reuse it with caution.
7. Baking!
Of course, the most popular use of all for baking soda is to use it in baking. When baking soda is combined with acidic ingredients like yogurt, cocoa, buttermilk, or cream of tartar (none of which sound acidic, but it refers to their chemical composition) and exposed to heat, it causes a chemical reaction that causes the baked goods to rise and become more fluffy and less dense.

For some reason, each time I wear my cowboy boots, I have an awesome day. I think they're my lucky boots. Clearly I was meant to live in the South…
So I'm sitting at work today (wearing my boots) and I get a gchat message from TJ.
Holy heck it's us!!! Then…I'm clicking other links on the site and BAM!
I felt famous. It made my whole day!
After work, Amanda and I went to boot camp. Today's session was tough! I was soaked in sweat – even my legs were dripping! It felt good to work that hard because a couple hours later, we met back up for dinner. Graze is a new restaurant in the Whole Foods shopping center in Mt. Pleasant. Their menu contains fresh, seasonal ingredients and has something for everyone. While we scanned the menu, we munched on some bread with citrus flavored butter…
…and sipped on some Pinot Grigio.
There were a bunch of options from many different cuisines – Italian, Greek, Korean, American, Spanish, and more! We asked for entree recommendations and were daring enough to tell our waitress to pick out an appetizer for us. There were just too many good choices! She ended up bringing us exactly what we were hoping for: Lobster Mac n Cheese.
And they aren't kidding when they say there's lobster. We found TWO claws of meat! The creamy bowl of orrecchiette was loaded with lobster meat, fontina, and smoked cheddar, and topped with toasted Panko crumbs.
For my entree, I chose the Lemon-Thyme Encrusted Rainbow Trout. It was served with a balsamic grilled summer vegetable and quinoa salad, smoked olive oil, and fire roasted romesco sauce. The fish was lightly seasoned and very moist, but I enjoyed the quinoa most!
Amanda chose the Korean Style Beef BBQ. It was soy marinated flank steak with house made kimchi, brown rice, and roasted seaweed. Our waitress recommended she use the seaweed to roll the kimchi and beef up like a taco. It was a great way to experience all the flavors at once.
Overall, it was a great meal. Everything was cooked right and presented beautifully. Our server and the manager were very welcoming and Amanda and I both agreed we'd love to come back to try more.
And the other awesome part of my day? A surprise package sent to my work!! Stay tuned for a DELICIOUS treat!

Inaugural Parade Begins At The Pentagon, Moves To D.C.
After George Washington took his oath of office he was joined by a procession made up of local militias as he made his way from Mount Vernon to New York City. These days, the parade is a colorful blend of marching bands, floats and different organizations — led by ceremonial military regiments.

It's MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
And I'm Renee Montagne. One of the liveliest parts of today's events dates back to the very first Inauguration, and that would be the inaugural parade. After George Washington took his oath of office, he was joined by a procession made up of local militias as he made his way from Mount Vernon to New York City. Today, the parade is a colorful blend of marching bands, floats and different organizations led by ceremonial military regiments.
NPR's Neda Ulaby has just made her way to the parade staging ground. Good morning.
NEDA ULABY, BYLINE: Good morning
MONTAGNE: So, we've been talking to some of our other colleagues this morning, and I gather just getting in place has been difficult for everybody, what, with road closures and security. What about you?
ULABY: You know, it's actually been fairly smooth. I'm very, very happy to report people are in a good mood out here in the Pentagon parking lot. It's a beautiful morning. The sun's coming up. We're gazing out over a vast expanse of asphalt and a flotilla of white buses, where we are watching people loading up and heading towards the Mall.
MONTAGNE: Yeah, so you are starting there at the Pentagon, but, of course, soon enough, it'll be right here in Washington, D.C. There must be - these guys must have got a really early start.
ULABY: You know, the excitement here is not palpable. I think that that is an accurate description. People here are very tired. They are a bunch of people here from places as - well, you know, Hawaii, from Illinois, from Kansas, and, you know, it's a little sluggish. I think people are conserving their energy, because it is going to be a huge parade out there on the Mall.
MONTAGNE: Oh, yeah.
ULABY: Eight official floats, 60 groups, marching bands, mounted units. There are going to be almost 9,000 people marching in this parade, and almost 200 animals.
MONTAGNE: And they'll get their energy back for sure, but who is in the first wave? I mean, what will we first be seeing as it sort of approaches?
ULABY: Well, we're starting off with a bunch of military folks, as you can imagine. There's the presidential escort, U.S. Army staff, U.S. Army field band. And then the National Guard is going to be marching. We've got a bunch of representation from Hawaii, as you can imagine, the Hawaii home state float, the Illinois home state float. There's a - one of my favorites is a vintage World War II ambulance project from Connecticut.
We've got people from Kansas, the KU trumpet ensemble. Then some people from other parts of the country: we've got the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor group commission from South Carolina, the Miami University marching band. And we've got a drill-and-drum corps from Iowa. And maybe that's a thank-you for the primaries. I don't know.
MONTAGNE: And remind us of when the parade starts and what its route is, because I think that's a bit interesting.
ULABY: Oh, yeah. Well, it starts at 2:30, and it's going to wind its way up, you know, pretty much through the Mall, the parade. You know, one of the funny things that's different from this Inauguration and the last is right now, everyone has apps. And we've got several different military people showing us, you know, the very complicated Air Force-designed app where you can see there's access points for pedestrians, and all of this information.
And everyone's got their apps, you know, so completely fired up and ready to go. And I think it's actually going to make the Inauguration parade much smoother than it has been in the past.
MONTAGNE: Neda, thanks. We'll be talking to you later. NPR's Neda Ulaby at the Inauguration parade staging ground.

I love pancakes and try to make them as healthy as possible, keeping them light and fluffy the way pancakes should be! I'm posting this recipe just the way I found it (courtesy of Mr. Breakfast Collection), but made a few quick substitutions for what I had on hand. I used 3 egg whites that I had in the fridge from another recipe. I also made my own buttermilk using skim milk and almost 1 T. lemon juice (let it sit 10 minutes before using). I ended up with 12 good-sized cakes and froze what we didn't eat for quick weekday breakfasts. Top with fruit, real maple syrup, sf syrup or honey...whatever you like!

Air Jordan 1 Mid Nouveau
June 17th, 2013 by Aaron Hope | 6 comments
Jordan Brand classics and specifically the Air Jordan Legacy isn't privy to the kind of tech updates that Nike Sportswear uses on their heritage models. So while we might never see a numbered 'Lunar Jordan', the Jumpman has indeed managed to incorporate one of today's hottest tech specs into the shoe that started it all. The Air Jordan 1 Mid Nouveau sports a supple leather and nubuck upper that gives the iconic silhouette a luxury appeal. The special sauce is hidden within, where a Solarsoft footbed borrowed from the likes of the Rosherun adds lightweight comfort to the time-tested recipe. Check out this subtle bred colorway after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for the Air Jordan 1 Nouveau release dates.
