Secrets from the Past Revealed
In this unique video, expert furniture craftsmen Jeff Headley and Steve Hamilton walk you through the construction of a classic 18th Century drop-front desk. Rather than a how-to building experience, Headley and Hamilton dissect the piece in reverse, discussing the why's and how's of the joinery used for the case, gallery and drawers for the entire piece. As an extra bonus, they point out a dozen hidden compartments in the piece. A mix of history, furniture anatomy and period construction, you'll find this video entertaining, as well as instructional.

Cons Best Uses
Comments: The costume was very colorful & fun but way too long. |
Best Uses
Comments: Every year for Halloween(after I stopped trick-or-treating), I still get dressed up for the whole day. So I ordered this costume, and was super excited when it arrived. However, when I tried it on, I discovered that the dress is pretty see through, so I'll need to find something to wear under it. And then the elastic on the hat isn't quite big enough for my head, so that's going to be replaced as well. But, other than that, it's still a great costume. However, I am a little disappointed. The website claims the costume comes with a purse, but mine didn't. I don't know if that means there's a typo or if I just didn't get one, but yeah. |

Beveridge Hall - Central London Conference and Events Venue
Located on the ground floor of Senate House and seating just over 450 in three tiers around a sunken central floor, Beveridge Hall is a highly versatile space boasting not only a stage and excellent natural acoustics, but also state-of-art audio-visual equipment. Crucially, it is also imbued with a great sense of history.
Its décor has been preserved and sensitively restored so that it retains its art deco elegance, meaning that although it is one of central London's largest conference spaces, it maintains a sense of quietness, dignity and intimacy.
Audio-visual facilities include a full-size screen on the stage, audio and video recording facilities, fixed and roving microphones and adjustable lighting.
The seating is not fixed in place so the hall can be configured for a wide variety of uses and to accommodate the demands of a film crew.
Home to international symposia and awards ceremonies, the Beveridge Hall stands as testament to Charles Holden, who designed every detail to create the perfect conference space.
Key Features and Specifications
- Reception for 580 guests with staging
- Seated Dinner for 320 guests with staging

11:00 AM | The "B" Sessions with David Arend & DJ heyLove* |

1:00 PM | Ethel Merman Experience |
2:00 PM | The Monster Show |
2:30 PM | Dirty Ghosts |
3:30 PM | Jimmy Hits with Bubbles |
4:00 PM | Peaches |
Since the release of her debut album in 2000, Peaches has spread her smart and progressive lyrics to the pop culture landscape, harnessing a worldwide audience and, along with the countless followers, shaped the mainstream into a more inclusive and sexually progressive surrounding. 2013 saw the release of Peaches' critically acclaimed feature film debut, Peaches Does Herself. Of the film, The Hollywood Reporter stated that it was, "A loosely biographical rock opera featuring outlandish costumes, transexual dancers, lashing of smutty humor and simulated hardcore sex, this self-directed carnival of carnal excess feels like The Rocky Horror Picture Show with a postgrad doctorate in Queer Theory." Over the years, she's built a reputation for her suggestive and intelligent lyrics, her amalgamation of rock and electro sounds, and her balls-out performances; while continuing to outdo herself with each brash step.
The "B" Sessions with David Arend & DJ heyLove*
The "B" Sessions is a duo comprised of DJ heyLove*and upright bassist David Arend, fusing an eclectic sound with a live instrument & 2 turntables. Arend & heyLove* can drop many genres of music and can create a chill lounge vibe as well as move a dance floor all night. The "B" Sessions has played for events such as the San Francisco Fillmore Jazz Festival and currently performs at Disco Volante in Oakland for their monthly residency, every third Saturday.
Ethel Merman Experience
The Ethel Merman Experience is pleased and honored to be part of the Castro Street Fair's 40th anniversary celebration! EMX has appeared on the CSF Mainstage several times over the years and as the Wizard's Dorothy so aptly put it "There's no place like home." The band is comprised of Mark Sargent channeling "the Merm," Le Greguar on guitar, Kelly "Killer" Naughon on bass and Boom Boom Bow Wow on drums. Rock n' roll has never been the same since this Broadway diva took to belting out hits from Nirvana, Alice Cooper, Blondie, Lady Gaga and The Runaways to name a few. A rockin' good time is guaranteed for all!
The Monster Show
Winner of The Best Drag Show in the Bay Guardian Readers' Poll, The Monster Show is excited to play the Castro Street Fair Main Stage. It is the highlight of the year for The Monster Show, having previously performed at Gay Day Great America, as well as BootieSF, The Fillmore Auditorium opening for CSS, and Beatbox. Now entering their 10th year in The Castro, The Monster Show play to packed houses every Thursday Night at The Edge Bar.
Dirty Ghosts
Allyson Baker doesn't scare easily. Back in the '90s, she was sneaking into Dwarves shows and frequenting mosh pits before she was barely out of junior high; by age of 17, she was playing guitar for some of Toronto's most notorious punk and hardcore bands before leaving her friends and family behind in 2000 to shake some action in San Francisco. And yet, for all her apparent fearlessness, Allyson is very much haunted by forces beyond her control. Dirty Ghosts may be her new band, but it's the five-years-in-the-making product of a habit she just can't quit, a sound and vision that—despite numerous obstacles along the way—just had to be unleashed.
Jimmy Hits with Bubbles
In 1999, a young scratch nerd with a passion for the ones and twos, a love of Party Rock, early electro, and 90's hip hop set forth with one dream in mind -- to become one of the best DJs to have ever come out of California. Starting in local venues such as Ruby Skye, he moved on to CIA and Belasco in Los Angeles, and has traveled as far as Marquee in Sydney, Australia. Today you can find Jimmy Hits all over the place, from his residencies at Costello's and Sloane Squared to spinning for the electronic group Super Square. He boasts an open format style that ranges from electro dance, dubstep, trap and beyond.
The Main Stage of the Castro Street Fair is supported by the SOMArts Cultural Center's Technical Services Program, which provides subsidized rental rates for wheelchair-accessible lifts, staging, catwalks, bleachers, P.A. systems and consultation for San Francisco's many street fairs, festivals and community events. SOMArts receives support from the San Francisco Arts Commission's Community Arts and Education Program with funding from Grants for the Arts/The Hotel Tax Fund.
The mission of SOMArts is to promote and nurture art on the community level and foster an appreciation of and respect for all cultures. To find out about SOMArts classes, events and exhibitions, please visit www.somarts.org.

Peter Travers on The Best and Worst Vampires on Film and TV
blog comments powered by Disqus
Vampires are everywhere these days — call it twilight for originality. All you need to sell movie tickets or cable TV subscriptions, it seems, is to call in the undead. What attracts us to bloodsuckers? It can be as simple as their eternal hottie youth, or as complex as how they make pacts with the devil in exchange for immortality. Either way, audiences aren't even close to putting a stake in the heart of this craze. So let us praise the actors who vamp with style, and stick it to those who don't have a clue about true blood's essence. Here's a countdown of the 10 best — and then the 5 worst — vampires in movies and television.

Unloved Stock
Definition of 'Unloved Stock'
A stock that is out of favor with investors. The term unloved stock often refers to stocks that were once popular with investors but have become largely ignored due to a variety of factors. These factors include poor performance, too much volatility, changing regulations, new management, lowered or suspended dividends, inconsistent earnings from quarter to quarter, share price, the company being viewed as too risky or has taken on too much debt or the company simply fell out of favor with investors who decide to sell, resulting in falling stock value. An unloved stock may rebound, or its price could continue to drop and/or trade under decreased volume.
Investopedia explains 'Unloved Stock'
Unloved stocks are those that once enjoyed investor attention, but now are disregarded by investors and analysts. Investor attention could be the result of interest brought on by various media sources, or popularity fueled by high-profile investor recommendations. For example, if famed-investor Warren Buffett invests heavily in a relatively unknown company, that company will likely enjoy increased investor attention, resulting in higher trading volume. While some of these ignored stocks do make a comeback and rally to their former popularity, others slowly attract less and less attention. Unloved and out of favor stocks may be sought by value investors who step in and buy stocks while other investors are selling, often at very low prices. Value investing is a strategy that involves selecting stocks that are trading for less than their intrinsic values.

I ordered this, as ususal, without knowing what it would be like, but I always base my purchases on the ingredients or scents in the fragrance. and i was again, not disappointed. It's a lovely fragrance that kind of smells like it's title;) I would purchase it again and I have already ordered 3 bottles. A friend of mine remarked that I smelled so good, so I ordered her a bottle for her upcoming birthday. It is a great fragrance at a super great price!!!!!!

I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that fragrance! It has become my signature fragrance. I put it on in the mornings do a twelve hour shift...and still smell as if I just sprayed it on! I don't know what I would do if I could no longer get this fragrance. Fred Hayman's Touch With Love would be a great addition to any women's favorite fragrance. Whenever I wear Touch With Love....men and women always ask..."what are you wearing"...."you smell soooo good"...I just smile and say thanks you...it's Fred Hayman's Touch With Love!

Knox or Miles
We decided on Knox for a son though we have liked Miles for a long time. We originally ruled out Miles because we were going to go with the middle name David and didn't wants Miles Davis because it was too close to Miles Davis even though my husband is a big fan. We had later decided for the middle name to be Davidson or Davison if it is a boy and settled on
Knox Davidson. Now I am wondering if Miles Davidson would work as I don't think it is too close to Miles Davis. So please please weigh in. I realize Miles is more popular than Knox but it isn't crazy popular so I am ok with that. Husband likes both names though we have been referring to baby as "Knox or ____" we are still working on a girl name - see my poll on Eden/Edie (baby #2's older sister). Oh, last name sounds like "Peatty - P.-T." Thanks!!

It is hard! I really like both!! I think both could work well with the middle name chosen. Whatever you choose will be right. I would probably go for Miles for my own if I was down to the two just because but my husband is more conservative with names, but Knox is so spunky, cool, hip that it'd be great to use that on too!

To address the challenges of tomorrow and advance the state of the art, materials researchers must focus on the development of bioactive materials and an effective artificial articular cartilage.
Advances in medical technology are helping people to live longer, healthier lives, but some body parts do wear out in the process. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) reports that 478,000 knee and 234,000 total hip replacements were performed in 2008 in the United States.1 The AAOS also predicts that knee replacements will reach 3.4 million by 2030 and hip replacements will more than double. Furthermore, instances of revision arthroplasty remain high: in the United States, 40,000 knee and 46,000 hip revisions were performed in 2004. EU statistics are in the same range. Clearly, the orthopaedics sector, which is valued at €28 billion today, has many years of growth ahead.
In this article we will examine some of the man-made materials used for orthopaedic applications and highlight their advantages and disadvantages. The critical role of bioactive material in bone replacement technology also will be addressed.
Man-made orthopaedic materials
Figure 1: The basic microstructure of articular cartilage. The calculations are based on data from Joseph Buckwalter's AAOS Instructional Course Lectures, volume 54, 465-480 (2005). |
Man-made materials have been used in orthopaedic applications for several decades. The first metallic hip replacement surgery was performed in 1940. PMMA cement was first used for the same purpose in 1951. Modern ceramic total hips came into use in 1995. To date, metals, polymers (ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, or UHMWPE), ceramics and combinations of these materials have been used in orthopaedic applications, and materials development is ongoing. Choosing an optimal material for the design and development of orthopaedic devices has been challenging, and it remains so as manufacturers strive to develop high-performance products while minimising failure associated with material selection.
Metals, such as stainless steels, were the first materials used to fabricate implantable medical devices. Metal-on-metal (MOM) implants have been around since the 1950s and continue to work well in certain applications. During the last 60 years, more and more metallic devices have been introduced for medical applications, but not without some performance and quality issues. Concerns associated with orthopaedic metal implants include the release of metal particulates into the bloodstream, which may affect kidney function. The particulates also may travel across the placenta during pregnancy, and there is the potential of metal particles, mainly cobalt chromium, leading to cancer. The question we must ask ourselves is: Why, after 60 years of development work, do we not have a better or, indeed, perfect implantable device?
Bone, a living material
It all comes down to biocompatibility, and the more advanced concept of bioactivity, in relation to implantable materials. Is the material or resultant debris compatible with the body? Is it really corrosion-resistant at the atomic, nano and micrometre levels? How strong is it? What is its modulus of elasticity? Above all, have we learned something significant about the body's natural biomaterials? Have we understood that all of the body's components, including bones, are living materials? Before examining non-metal bone-replacement materials, let's go over a few basics of natural bone.
Figure 2: The basic components of a total hip replacement. |
Taking a long bone as an example, there are three basic structural layers: articular cartilage on the surface, followed by compact bone close to the surface and spongy bone. Of course, the makeup of artificial orthopaedic devices is not comparable to the microstructure of natural bone, since bone is a living material. Bone cells carry out the healing process through resorption and deposition. As healthy bone is subject to the wear and tear of use, the bone develops nano or microfractures that weaken it. The bone reacts to this weakening in the same way it does to other repair tasks. When resorption takes place, osteoclast cells are dispatched to attack the weak bone and, with the aid of a variety of systemic hormones, the deteriorating bone is dissolved and the collagen and mineral phase is reabsorbed. The bone particles are absorbed by the body as calcium, leaving tiny areas that have been essentially excavated by the osteoclast. Next, osteoblasts arrive on the scene and collect around the damaged sites. The osteoblasts fill in the damaged area with new bone. The new bone absorbs systemic calcium and becomes healthy bone tissue.
Articular cartilage
Articular cartilage is a biomaterial that has not received sufficient attention with regard to the design and development of artificial hips and knees. Bone joint surfaces are covered with a strong but lubricated layer of articular cartilage. In most large joints, it is about 5 mm thick and allows the surfaces of the joints to slide against each other without causing damage. The material itself must be very strong to bear and transfer load from one part of the body to another. Articular cartilage also acts as a shock absorber and eases stress concentration to minimise peak pressures on the subchondral bone. The main constituents of articular cartilage are illustrated in Figure 1.
The predominant single component of articular cartilage is interstitial fluid, which counts for up to 80% of total cartilage weight, depending on the origin and integrity of the cartilage. Collagen makes up 12 to 24% of total weight and chondrocytes (cells) only account for about 1% by volume. Proteoglycan monomers account for 6 to 12% of cartilage weight.
Articular cartilage is a very porous material. The structure is simple, consisting only of collagen fibrils that crosslink to form networks. Figure 1 shows a model of the network. While collagen represents a small proportion of the articular cartilage, it imparts dynamic strength to the overall structure. Without other tissue constituents working collectively and synergistically with the collagen fibrils, this simple structure would collapse upon loading. By comparison with metals, collagen fibre is neither strong nor durable. Nevertheless, we have yet to find an artificial material that is as active and effective as articular cartilage. Part of the reason for this is the difficulty of developing materials, but it is also rooted in a lack of understanding of how cartilage can work for more than 100 years in a healthy body. As it is a living material, understanding its renewable mechanisms and biological process is key to developing bioactive materials.
Figure 3: Linear wear rates of different materials. (Me = metal; Ce = ceramic; XPE = cross-linked PE). |
Polyethylene (PE) was introduced by Sir John Charnley, a British orthopaedic surgeon, in the late 1960s. PE has a simple polymeric structure, consisting of repeating CH2 units along the polymer long chain. Medical grades of PE used in total joint components have a molecular weight varying between 4 to 6 million grams per mole; the material is known as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). UHMWPE is an extremely tough yet flexible material. Figure 2 shows the components of a total hip replacement, where PE is used as the liner. In theory, the PE liner was expected to act, at least partially, as articular cartilage, allowing hard metal surfaces at the joints to slide against one another without causing damage (assuming that PE provides superior mechanical performance). Unfortunately, the material did not live up to its promise. Standard UHMWPE is not a perfect material, particularly when it comes to long-term performance. As observed in MOM implants, PE also produces particles because it has a higher wear rate than MOM (see Figure 3). PE is also subject to fatigue failure, especially if it is exposed to high-energy irradiation to produce cross-linked UHMWPE.2 The effect of high-energy irradiation on the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of polymers is extremely complicated. The author of this paper has investigated and used a model polymer (polypropylene), obtaining a range of mechanical properties from ductile to brittle by varying doses of gamma irradiation.3 4
Figure 4: The microstructure of zirconia toughened alumina developed at Ceram. The light phase is zirconia and the dark phase is alumina. |
The most important breakthrough in materials for orthopaedic applications in the last 25 years is the use of ceramics for hip joints. Ceramics have several advantages over metals and polymers. They are the most chemically and biologically inert of all materials. They are also strong and hard. Thus, ceramics are resistant to scratches from the tiny particles (bone cement or metal debris, for example) that occasionally land between the artificial joint surfaces. To date, almost all reported results demonstrate that ceramics produce the lowest rate of wear particles 5–13 compared with metal or PE. The general trend and conclusions are persuasive, although variations exist in the reported data. Figure 3 compares the linear wear rate of different materials compiled and published by CeramTec. Metal on PE (Me/PE in the figure) shows the highest wear rate, while ceramic on ceramic (Ce/Ce) has the lowest.
The main disadvantage of medical-grade ceramics resides in their fragility. Unlike metals and polymers, ceramic materials cannot deform under stress. When the stress acting on a medical ceramic material exceeds a certain limit, the ceramic bursts. Burst fractures of ceramic components of total hips observed in the past were caused by the poor quality of the ceramic material at that time. However, even current medical ceramics remain fragile. Therefore, developing toughened ceramics is and will continue to be a focus. Further development of microfracture mechanics and the design of micro- and nanoceramic composites will lead to more advanced ceramics for medical applications. Figure 4 shows microstructures of zirconia (light phases) toughened alumina (dark phases) developed at Ceram. This ceramic composite has achieved fracture toughness as high as 7.2 MPa m1/2 , the highest fracture toughness result achieved to date.
Material selection for orthopaedic device development and design
The benefits of employing ceramics for orthopaedic applications include:
Figure 5: The microstructure of ceramic and polymer hybrids developed at Ceram. The porous ceramic zirconia is the light phase and the polymer hybrids are the dark phase. |
Ceramics can be used in combination with other materials, such as polymers, to form hybrid composites. Figure 5 shows one example of a ceramic hybrid. This ceramic compound is composed of a ceramic foam (light phases) and a mixture of polymers (dark phases) developed at Ceram. This hybrid material takes advantage of the ceramic's bioactivity and hardness and the toughened polymer's flexibility. Various forms of ceramic hybrid compounds can be made into different microstructures for different applications including, but not limited to, spinal fusion, suture anchors, fixation and trauma screws, femoral implants, dental implants, and partial and total joint replacement. All follow the basic principle of design and development: a specific material for a specific implant device. Again, at the start of the project and prior to design control, evaluation and selection of a material is the key to success.
Besides polyethylene, polyetherether-ketone (PEEK) has been recently introduced into the orthopaedic market. It is an organic polymer thermoplastic used as an engineering material. One good example of it is the Infuse bone graft developed by Medtronic.
The future of bioactive materials
So, what does the future hold for materials for orthopaedic applications? It is clear that the development of new bioactive materials will be a basic requirement and that this will be a challenge to materials experts. Orthopaedic medical devices must be designed with bioactivity in mind.
Another challenge is to develop new artificial articular cartilage. The material must not only be bioactive but it must be able to bear loads as great as 6.5× the body weight in the knee and act as a lubricated layer at the joints. With reference to Figure 1, the design and development of the new materials must allow the inclusion of a large amount of interstitial fluid, some chondrocytes (cells), proteoglycan and so forth to be strong and active.

NOTE: Confused? See the quick glossary at the bottom.
As fans, we tend to have selective memory. Certain games create reputations for teams in your head, and if another game refutes that perception, you just forget it. It is what has happened with Michigan State and me. The Spartans proved themselves a high-quality team this year, winning ten games, comfortably placing in the F/+ Top 15, playing stellar defense, and coming within three points of a Big Ten title. But ... I just cannot shake last January 1, when State got so thoroughly eviscerated, and downright emasculated, by Alabama.
It's unfair, really. Michigan State's team ranked just 30th in F/+ despite a good record, and quite a few decent teams have been pantsed by Nick Saban's Crimson Tide over the years. But while I am not typically one to scream "SEC! SEC!" at any given opportunity, the fact is, I need it proven to me that State can hang with another fast, athletic SEC team before I believe it. The numbers believe in the Spartans, and I really want to. But I can't just yet.

Team | Pace Rk | Covariance Rk | MACtion Rk | Schizophrenia Rk |
Michigan State | 92 | 17 | 17 | 5 |
Georgia | 29 | 22 | 12 | 45 |
Leaving aside my own somewhat unfair perceptions, there are few more evenly matched bowls than this one. The two teams are almost identical in terms of both offensive and defensive proficiency, but special teams have held Georgia back a decent amount this fall, and State is given the statistical edge because of that.

National Average | 69.1% | 30.9% |
At first glance, it appears that both defenses hold significant advantages over the offenses in this one. For the Michigan State offense, one problem quickly presents itself: the Spartans are quite inefficient and reliant on big plays. They fall into holes on standard downs but are solid enough through the air to bail themselves out of trouble. One can see how that might be a problem against excellent defenses, and make no mistake: Georgia's is an excellent defense. In their second year under defensive coordinator Todd Grantham, they have improved dramatically in every aspect. Two years ago, the Dawgs' defense was a liability, ranking 41st in Def. F/+ and 71st in Passing S&P+. Now, they rank in the Top 25 of every major advanced category, including Adj. Line Yards (15th) and Adj. Sack Rate (24th). Only two teams were able to average better than 5.5 yards per play against Georgia in 2011, and one of them was New Mexico State in a UGa blowout win.
While it goes against what is probably our intuition -- Michigan State is an efficient, run-heavy team, right? -- State's run game really hasn't been very good in 2011. Le'Veon Bell and Edwin Baker split carries, and while Bell lived up to his end of the bargain (900 yards, plus-15.3 Adj. POE), Baker struggled (655 yards, minus-11.9 Adj. POE). As Bell stole more and more of Baker's carries, Michigan State's offense began to improve.
Michigan State Offense, September/October: Baker 109 carries, Bell 87 carries, 26.4 Adj. PPG
Michigan State Offense, November/December: Bell 78 carries, Baker 55 carries, 33.9 Adj. PPG
Georgia has been slightly worse against the run than the pass, but the State offense has been at its best when Kirk Cousins is finding B.J. Cunningham (1,233 yards, 11.6 per target) and Keshawn Martin (742 yards, 8.2 per target) downfield. With 12 touchdowns, Cunningham has been one of the most underrated receivers in the country this year. His battle with Georgia cornerback Brandon Boykin should be both entertaining and telling.
The well-rounded Dawg defense has stars in each tier of the defense. Big John Jenkins (6-foot-3, 351 pounds) is the perfect nose for a 3-4, both in terms of occupying blockers and making a few plays (six tackles for loss, three sacks). Outside backer Jarvis Jones is eighth in the country with 19.5 tackles for loss (and, if you believe Georgia's hilarious stat-keeper, 42 quarterback hurries, which ... no). Safety Bacarri Rambo is both physically (6-foot-0, 220 pounds) and statistically (seven picks, seven passes broken up) ridiculous. Cornerbacks Boykin (nine tackles for loss, three picks) and Sanders Commings (four tackles for loss, 12 passes broken up) are do-it-all types that allow Grantham to dial up attacks from every angle. Georgia mostly shut down an LSU rushing attack that is mostly better than Michigan State's in their last time out, so State may have to take their chances with the forward pass.

It is an eerily similar story when Georgia has the ball. The Dawgs rely on big plays and struggle on the ground, while Michigan State is well-rounded and fantastic on standard downs. The only primary differences: Michigan State runs a 4-3 instead of a 3-4, and Georgia is quite a bit more reliant on standard downs success on offense than the Spartans.
I've written quite a bit this year how Aaron Murray has been one of the more underrated quarterbacks in the country. Against a ridiculous slate of defenses, Murray has managed to still complete 59 percent of his passes and throw 33 touchdown passes. By game's end today, he should easily have passed the 3,000-yard mark for the season as well. This is impressive, not only because of the opponents he has faced, but also because of the revolving door he has had in the receiving corps. Quite a few different players have taken their turn serving as Murray's go-to guy: tight end Orson Charles (572 yards, 8.7 per target), possession man Tavarres King (472 yards, 6.1 per target), blue-chip freshman Malcolm Mitchell (614 yards, 11.8 per target), etc.
Of course, this is nothing like the revolving door at the running back position. Due to injuries, suspensions, attitude adjustments, and who knows what else, four players have carried the ball at least 70 times (including Aaron Murray), two others at least 30. All have produced similar, and rather mediocre, results. Five-star freshman Isaiah Crowell (847 yards, minus-2.2 Adj. POE) has been up-and-down (as freshmen tend to be) and struggled through injuries, but he is now healthy. It sounds as if Ken Malcome (123 yards, minus-3.7 Adj. POE) will get the start, however, and players like Carlton Thomas (361 yards, minus-0.1 Adj. POE) and Richard Samuel (240 yards, minus-3.6 Adj. POE) will get some carries as well.
Whoever is carrying the ball, it would behoove Georgia if they were to actually get up the field occasionally. And that is easier said than done against a Michigan State defense that has no obvious weaknesses. The Spartans racked up 88 tackles for loss, picked off 16 passes and broke up 40 more. They are young and exciting -- only one senior is projected to start -- and they play things a little straighter than the Dawgs. Sure, they will blitz corner Johnny Adams from time to time (he has three sacks), but for the most part, the tackles for loss come from the players who start closest to the line; ends William Gholston and Marcus Rush have 21 tackles for loss, tackle Jerel Worthy has added another 8.5, and SAM linebacker Denicos Allen has 17. (By the way, the four players I just mentioned are a sophomore, redshirt freshman, junior and sophomore. The future is bright in East Lansing.) Meanwhile, safeties Isaiah Lewis and Trenton Robinson each picked off four passes.
The Verdict
Michigan State by 2.8.
Any big play of any kind will be enormous in this one. A coverage breakdown, a slip, a special teams gaffe ... in the end, anything could make the difference in such an evenly-matched game. State is favored because of special teams; they are solid in virtually every aspect, from punt returns to place-kicking, and Georgia has struggled. But if the Dawgs can offset that advantage with a long play or two, they could be in the driver's seat. The last time the world saw Michigan State playing a strong, fast SEC team, it was over within about ten minutes. Now is the Spartans' chance for redemption. Do they have it in them?
A Quick Glossary
Covariance: This tells us whether a team tends to play up or down to their level of competition. A higher ranking means a team was more likely to play well against bad teams while struggling (relatively speaking) against good ones. (So in a way, lower rankings are better.) For more, go here.
F/+ Rankings: The official rankings for the college portion of Football Outsiders. They combine my own S&P+ rankings (based on play-by-play data) with Brian Fremeau's drives-based FEI rankings.
MACtion: This is a look at how closely teams are associated with big-play football (like those high-scoring, mid-week MAC games). Teams that rank high on the MACtion scale play games with a ton of both big plays (gained and allowed) and passing downs. For more, go here.
Pace: This is calculated by going beyond simply who runs the most plays. Teams that pass more are naturally inclined to run more plays (since there are more clock stoppages involved), so what we do here is project how many plays a team would typically be expected to run given their run-pass ratio, then compare their actual plays to expectations. Teams, then, are ranked in order from the most plays above the expected pace, to the least.
Passing Downs: Second-and-7 or more, third-and-5 or more.
PPP: An explosiveness measure derived from determining the point value of every yard line (based on the expected number of points an offense could expect to score from that yard line) and, therefore, every play of a given game.
S&P+: Think of this as an OPS (the "On-Base Plus Slugging" baseball measure) for football. The 'S' stands for success rates, a common Football Outsiders efficiency measure that basically serves as on-base percentage. The 'P' stands for PPP+, an explosiveness measure that stands for EqPts Per Play. The "+" means it has been adjusted for the level of opponent, obviously a key to any good measure in college football. S&P+ is measured for all non-garbage time plays in a given college football game. Plays are counted within the following criteria: when the score is within 28 points in the first quarter, within 24 points in the second quarter, within 21 points in the third quarter, and within 16 points (i.e. two possession) in the fourth quarter. For more about this measure, visit the main S&P+ page at Football Outsiders.
Schizophrenia: This measures how steady a team's performances are throughout the course of a full season. Teams with a higher ranking tend to be extremely unpredictable from week to week. For more, go here.
Standard Downs: First downs, second-and-6 or less, third-and-4 or less.
Success Rate: A common Football Outsiders tool used to measure efficiency by determining whether every play of a given game was successful or not. The terms of success in college football: 50 percent of necessary yardage on first down, 70 percent on second down, and 100 percent on third and fourth down.

Does the Japanese language have a phrase or word that is the equivalent to 'retail therapy'?

The investigators propose to evaluate two different approaches to the alleviation of tinnitus symptoms by comparing changes from baseline performance on the Tinnitus Severity Index. They propose to provide an unbiased evaluation of competing methodologies. The design is one in which pairs of prospective subjects are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. Changes in group performance will be compared for selected measures.

Tinnitus Masking
Procedure: Tinnitus Masking
Tinnitus Masking is a widely-used method for providing relief of tinnitus. The central premise of Tinnitus Masking involves the use of wearable ear-level devices (hearing aids, maskers, or combination instruments) that deliver sound to a patient's ear(s). The primary purpose of the sound presentation is to produce a sense of relief from the annoyance caused by the tinnitus sound. The relief is accomplished by either obscuring, or "covering up" (masking) the tinnitus sound, or by changing the sound of the tinnitus in some way, usually by reducing its loudness (Vernon, Meikle).
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy
Procedure: Tinnitus Retraining Therapy
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) was derived from a purely psychological approach for facilitating tinnitus habituation (Hallam et al). The current method is based on neurophysiological principles, and aims at "retraining" brain regions that are involved in processing the tinnitus signal, without attempting to suppress generation of the signal (Jastreboff). The retraining involves a systematic effort aimed at decreasing both the detectability of tinnitus and the transmission of the tinnitus "signal" to emotional centers of the brain. Habituation of tinnitus thus purportedly occurs at two levels: habituation of emotional reactions to the tinnitus and habituation of tinnitus perception. Habituation is achieved by utilizing directive counseling, along with the use of low-level broadband noise to reduce the detectability of tinnitus for patients with normal or near-normal hearing. When hearing loss is a significant problem to the patient, appropriate hearing aids are fitted.

Got immediate compliments
By Shellie

I have this with blue assents and the tank underneath is black. I initially thought this would be very busy and is outside my comfort zone but I received immediate positive feedback form my coworkers. You could wear over a turtleneck in cooler months but will be perfect for summer.

Wickett's World - I've learned nothing so far.
by mike wickett
posted Sep 30 2013 10:30AM
I've learned nothing so far...
Before you completely agree with me and blast me for not learning anything, hear me out.
When it comes to the Wisconsin Badgers football team, we've learned nothing. They're 3-2, with wins agains the worst team in the Big Ten and 2 W's vs a TERRIBLE fbs team & an FCS team. They lost on a fluke play at Arizona State and fell to the buckeyes in c-bus. To me that doesn't mean much. Does this mean they're TERRIBLE? No. Not by any shot. But to tell me that they're at the top of the Big Ten? Not yet. Wisconsin is GOOD. Not GREAT. Combine the 3 teams they've beaten? UMASS + TT + Purdue = 4-10 (3 for TT). The showing at osu was good. Hanging with th #4 team in the country? That's impressive. And I hear "A muffed punt and 1 hail mary and we win that game"!! ...sure, but you can't take that away. They happened. Great teams don't make those mistakes. Again, the Badgers aren't GREAT...they're good.
The running attack was taken away by ohio state, and QB Joel Stave responded with perhaps his best performance as the Wisconsin signal caller. The front 7 played well. The secondary? Well...And Kyle French? That missed fg changed a lot in that game.
Now they've got 2 weeks to get ready for Northwestern. At Camp Randall. On Homecoming. That's a darn good NW team. One that I've got ahead of Bucky right now. Maybe the Badgers will prove me wrong...but like you, I'm still trying to figure this team out...and I've learned nothing so far.

Aside from some real moments capturing the Romneys' fears and insecurities, Mitt pretty much depicts Romney as any Republican campaign ad would.
After surviving an unparalleled disaster that rocked us to our core (Lindsay Lohan in Liz & Dick), we pulled together as a nation of Thelmas and Louises, ready to boldly drive off the fiscal cliff together.
Since 2008, commentary about presidential campaigns has been saturated in the rhetoric of narrative. However, Obama's 2012 presidential victory wasn't, strictly speaking, based on narrative. So what happened?
I still have some moves and I haven't put my dancing shoes away just yet. I'm just waiting for the right person to ask me to dance. Maybe Hillary or Jeb 2016?
Obama's reelection was remarkable considering the sluggish economy, the $1 billion plus spent to defeat him, and the fact that at the beginning of his campaign many Democrats were unenthusiastic. Obviously voters reappraised the president.
When Romney lost the election, half the country was rejoicing and the other half was scoffing at what fools we were for re-electing Barack Obama. The attitude cannot continue to be: "What's wrong with them?" It needs to be "what's wrong with us?"
Oh, what might have been..... Consider what Mitt Romney might have been---as candidate, as president..... While I am very pleased Barack Obama was ...
As the reeling Republicans and strategizing Democrats debrief about 2012 national election results, they should remember six things about the Latino community.
Dear Friends in the Republican Party: I'm the guy you're not supposed to worry about. Amid all the recriminations over how you lost the presidential election -- by teeing off those Latinos, blacks, women, young people and people who build American cars.
Despite months of uncertainty, on November 6th Barack Obama decisively defeated Mitt Romney. There were ten other notable winners and losers in the 2012 Presidential election.
"It's time for us to stop fighting the left's identity politics and start embracing them. We can appeal to groups as well as the Democrats do, we just need to make it a priority."
I still have one remaining question: What exactly is this hope and change thing the President keeps mentioning?
Perhaps, instead of trying to "win the hearts and minds" of the folks in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, Republicans could start doing so here at home, with all Americans.
America woke up last Wednesday to find its government essentially unchanged. After a campaign season that lasted for almost a year and a half and cam...
Thank you Mr. Romney. Your concession speech showed real class, dignity and said what needed to be said regarding bringing America together again.
David Frum argues that President Barack Obama didn't win Tuesday's election as much as former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney lost it.

Marriage Laws United States CO Colorado Wedding Officiants
How to Apply for a Marriage License in Colorado
Marriage license Laws in the state of Colorado, here is what you need to bring with you, and what you need to know about the Colorado marriage laws before filling out the Colorado marriage license form.
In order to get married, you need to apply and receive a marriage license. This is the document in your state that allows you to officially tie the knot under the law. The rules for acquiring your marriage license varies from state to state, so you should check with your city's marriage bureau at your clerk of court's office to find out what your local rules are.
You'll typically need to apply for your marriage license at least one month before your wedding ceremony. You'll traditionally need to send in your birth certificates, tax information, and other official documents. You don't, however, want to apply for your marriage license too early. In some states, the licenses do expire, if you don't get married within a few months.
When you apply for your license, you'll not only need a proof of identification and age, will need to provide any information about previous marriages, and will need to pay a nominal fee. You will also need to have a witness when you sign the application, so plan on bringing your maid of honor or best man with you. The bride will need to know what her married name will be before she signs the marriage certificate. You'll have to write that name on the application.
And, believe it or not, just because you have your marriage license sent to you in the mail does not mean you are officially married. You need to have a justice of the peace or a religious clergyman sign the document. On your wedding day, you'll give your chaplain your marriage license, then after the ceremony, he'll sign it and send it to the proper government agency for validation.

A marriage license may be issued in any county and used in any county in the State of Colorado. However, the license must be used within 30 days from the date of issue. The license is issued the day it is applied for and may be used immediately.
Marriage license is $30. Cash Only. No Credit Cards or Checks Accepted.
Blood test: Blood tests are not required to obtain a marriage license.
Age Requirements: The legal age without parental consent
is 18 years of age. Applicants who are 16 and 17 years of age must have parental
consent from both parents. A parent who has sole custody of a minor will be
required to sign a statement to this fact. If one or both of the parents cannot
appear at the time of applying for the license, an absentee application may be
completed and notarized ahead of time. This is to be presented when the marriage
license is issued. Applicants 15 years of age or younger, must obtain a court
order granting judicial approval as well as complying with the above
requirements. The court order must be obtained in the county where judicial
approval has been granted.
Identification: Acceptable forms for proof of age are as follows: Drivers License, Passport, Visa, Birth Certificate, Military ID, or state issued ID Card.
Social Security Number: Must be given when applying for a license. If either party does not have a social security number, they must sign an affidavit when applying for the license.
Application Form: Both male and female applicants must appear in person to complete and sign the marriage application. If one party cannot appear due to illness, is out of state, or incarcerated, he or she must obtain an ABSENTEE APPLICATION from the Clerk and Recorder's office. The party applying must bring the absentee application along with identification for the absent party. Applicants need not be residents of Colorado. ABSENTEE APPLICATIONS MUST BE NOTARIZED.
Previous Marriages: If either party has been divorced or
widowed, we need to know the date, County and State. We do not need proof. The
couple will be required to swear under oath that all information given is true
and correct.
Ceremony: A marriage may be solemnized by a judge of a court of record, a public official whose powers include solemnization of marriages, or in accordance with any mode of solemnization recognized by any religious denomination or Indian nation or tribe. As of August 1993, a couple themselves can solemnize their own marriage.
Cousin Marriages: Yes.
Common Law Marriages: Yes. Common Law Marriage - Recognized. See, "Common Law Marriage in Colorado," 16 Colo. Law. 252 (1987); Crandall v. Resley, 804 P.2d 272 (Colo. App. 1990).
Marriage by Proxy: Yes. If a party to a marriage is unable to be present at solemnization, he may authorize in writing a third person to act as his proxy. Sec. 14-2-109(2).
Same Sex Marriages: No.
Officiants: Couples themselves may solemnize their own marriage (C.R.S 14-2-109).
They must apply for paper work from the County Courthouse in order to do this.
However, friends or relatives can not solemnize their marriage. Out-of-state Clergy
need not be registered in Colorado.
Solemnizing a Marriage: Couples themselves may solemnize their own marriage (perform one's own marriage ceremony). According to Colorado Revised Statute 14-2-109, a marriage may be solemnized by a judge of a court; by a court magistrate; by a retired judge of the court; by a public official whose powers include solemnization of marriages; by Indian tribe officials; by clergy; by the parties to the marriage. If you wish to solemnize your own marriage, you will be responsible for acquiring, completing and returning the license to marry to the appropriate county Office of the Clerk and Recorder.
Grounds for Annulment: Lack of capacity to consent at time solemnized, under-age (not cured by consent of parents or court), fraud, jest or dare, duress and impotency (unknown to other party at time of marriage), and any prohibited marriage. Sec. 14-10-111. See, "Annulments in Colorado," 22 Colo. Law. 2249 (1993).Valid: License is valid for thirty (30) days.
It is important that you verify all information with your local marriage license office or county clerk before making any wedding or travel plans.
Please Note: State and county marriage license requirements often change. The above information is for guidance only and should not be regarded as legal advice.

A 36 year old Valparaiso man charged with two-felony counts of attempted child molesting is claiming insanity. The Times reports Wayne Han II's attorney presented the notice on his behalf today in court, and that a hearing to review results of the evaluations will be held on September 27th. Han allegedly held a handgun to the head of a 13 year old girl, during the early morning hours of November 29th, and demanded sexual acts, while staying with the girl's mother at the time of the incident.

What are Essential Fatty Acids in Flax Seed Oil with Borage Oil? Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are the main structural components of the body's cell membranes. Therefore, a balanced intake of fatty acids is necessary for healthy cell function. EFAs cannot be synthesized by the body and must be provided through diet and supplementation. There are two primary types of EFAs - Omega 3 and Omega 6. These fatty acids are the precursors of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid that the body converts to hormone-like substances called prostaglandins.
Prostaglandins play an active role in the body's inflammation response processes and promote healthy cell development. Essential fatty acids are critical to four primary body functions: energy production, maintaining body temperature, insulating nerves, and cushioning and protecting body tissues. Prostaglandins are powerful health "gladiators" cascading through the body performing a wide range of vital health functions
Prostaglandins perform a crucial role in the heart and circulatory system by promoting healthy blood flow to and from the heart, supporting blood vessels. Prostaglandins also promote a healthy immune system and inflammatory response by managing the release of lymphokines, a substance known to activate immune system cells.
