Not taking advantage of those opportunities hurt Magnolia early, but with the bases loaded in the seventh Tanner Hanna struck for a single that scored the tying and winning runs off Notre Dame's Jordan Miller.
"We knew that kid was getting tired and he was throwing a lot of balls," Hanna said. "We were just waiting for the right pitch and waiting for him to throw a strike."
Marozzi said sometimes the best team does not win and that Cisar told him as much after the game.
"We've won 20 ballgames for the last three years," he said. "Our expectations were to come down here and win. Coach Cisar just told me we're the better team. We got into the seventh and our pitchers couldn't throw strikes and that is what ultimately cost us the game."
Magnolia will play Charleston Catholic in the championship game at approximately 1 p.m. today. The Blue Eagles are seeking their third state championship and are 2-2 all-time in state title games. Today's championship game will be their first in Class A after winning Class AA titles in 1989 and 2006.

There should probably be an epileptic warning on this. I don't like it that much. It's not hypnotic or cool to look at, but painful on the eyes instead.

Finger-Regrowing 'Pixie Dust' Is At It Again
Remember the story we posted about the man who regrew the tip of his finger after having it cut off in a model airplane propeller? Yeah, that guy totally shouldn't have been allowed to work in a hobby store. Well now the infamous "pixie dust" is being used again -- this time in an attempt to regrow a soldier's finger that was lost in a bomb attack.
A key to the research dedicated to regrowing fingers and other body parts is a powder, nicknamed "pixie dust" by some of the people at Brooke Army Medical Center. It's made from tissue extracted from pigs.The surgery is part of a major new medical study of "regenerative medicine" being pursued by the Pentagon and several of the nation's top medical facilities, including the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and the Cleveland Clinic. So far nearly $250 million has been dedicated to the research.
Awesome. I guess the only remaining question I have about this treatment is this: How ethical is it to cut off you junx and hope to regrow a bigger one?
Salamander-inspired therapy may aid injured vets [cnn]

Thanks Patrick, lets steal Tinkerbell's fairy dust so we can fly
Lee Spievak cut his finger off and then regrew it using pixie dust. "I put my finger in," Mr. Spievak says, pointing towards the propeller of a model airplane, "and that's when I sliced my finger off." Wow, Lee, wow. Reminds me of the time I stuck my tongue in an oscillati... / Continue →

Comotomo Bottle Nipple$9.98
Comotomo Baby Bottle ... a soft, safe baby bottle unlike any other.
The first of it's kind - the Comotomo baby bottle is the baby bottle evolved baby. Our babies are choosey connoisseurs when it comes to feeding time. The Comotomo bottle was designed to naturally mimic breastfeeding as much as possible. Conventional thought is that bottles should be hard like all those other ŌĆ£containersŌĆØ. But thatŌĆÖs so opposite from natural breastfeeding! So the Comotomo made their bottles as soft and skin-like as possible while being a little squeezy too! We carefully chose a 100% medical grade hygienic silicone baby body for our store, which is about the safest material you can find.
Why parents love the Comotomo Baby Bottle:
- Mimics breastfeeding - natural shaped silicone nipples to replicate breastfeeding experience.
- Skin-like material - babies love the squeezable, skin-like texture of the bottle!
- Non-toxic - 100% free of BPA, PVC, Phthalate, Nitrosamine
- Durable - scratch resistant medical grade silicone won't harbor backteria like scratch prone plastics.
- Easy to clean! Wide-neck design makes cleaning simple. Parent approved!
- Anti-colic - smart dual vent design eliminates vacuum build-up helping little tummies stay happy.
- No drip design - at last! A truly non-leaking bottle.
Amazingly, babies are born knowing how to latch and suckle. So itŌĆÖs no wonder why so many babies go through ŌĆ£nipple confusionŌĆØ during nursing to bottle transition. Most bottles simply arenŌĆÖt anything like mommy. To prevent this, we designed our bottle with a super-wide mound and naturally shaped nipple to help your little one make a seamless switch. Latch on!
Hopefully, your little one doesnŌĆÖt suffer from colic. But unfortunately some babies do. One possible cause is that conventional bottles are poorly designed to allow taking in excessive air during feeding. Problem solved. We designed not one, but two vents to completely eliminate unnecessary air-intake. Say goodbye to colic!
Easy is good. Right? Our bottles have a super-wide neck so that you can easily clean by hand. Added bonusŌĆ" Silicone is extremely resistant to heat. You can boil them to sterilize, or put them in a dishwasher for a bit more ŌĆ£me-time.ŌĆØ

"Well, it's really hard for people to figure out,'' Huggins said. "because we don't know what the hell we're doing.''
Whatever it was worked. After making 14-of-16 to start the game, the Friars made 14-of-39 to end it.
After having played three of four on the road, West Virginia plays four of its next six at home, including rare back-to-back home games twice.
How rare is that? Well, the Mountaineers haven't played consecutive home games since mid-December, when they faced Miami, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Tennessee Tech. The only other time this season WVU has played consecutive home games was three to start the season.
On Wednesday, West Virginia hosts Notre Dame in a 9 p.m. game on ESPNU, then has a noon home game Saturday against Louisville.
After visits to Pitt and Notre Dame, there is a rare Friday night game (9 p.m. on ESPN) against Marquette at the Coliseum, followed by a home game with DePaul four days later. The Mountaineers wrap up the regular season with a Saturday afternoon game in Tampa, Fla., against South Florida on March 3. The Big East tournament begins the following Tuesday in New York.
BRIEFLY: Huggins' explanation for Kilicli's outstanding game was that the big center has started getting offensive rebounds. He had four against the Friars.
"There was a time when I didn't think he'd get that in a season,'' Huggins said.
n Gary Browne and Aaron Brown started the second half in place of Keaton Miles and Jabarie Hinds. Miles didn't even get off the bench in the second half.
Browne, though, had another of his great all-around games, although again under the radar. He finished with nine rebounds, six assists, five points and just one turnover in a career-high 36 minutes.

Candy Pop and Fizzy Powder Candy Cauldrons: 12-Piece Display
Pin It
Brooms are most commonly associated with sweeping dirty floors… and occasionally with the act of flying through the night whilst cackling evilly. So if you've ever thought to yourself, "Hey, maybe I could eat this!" then you'd be sorely mistaken. That's not candy on the bottom of the broom, that's just dirt.
Unless, of course, you happen to have one of these fizzy powder candy cauldrons! Bewitch your taste buds with magical candy potions -- broom-shaped hard candy sticks are the perfect vehicle for transporting delicious fruit-flavored fizzy candy powder from the witch cauldron to your mouth. Lick the yummy red or green broomstick and submerge it into the mysterious black pot to be rewarded with a ghoulishly good fizzy powder treat! So go ahead, enjoy these hard candy sweepers and put those dirty old cleaning supplies away… cobwebs are totally en vogue this time of year anyway.
Unit Price = $1.65/pack.
Display box contains 12 packs of Candy Pop and Fizzy Powder Candy Cauldrons.

Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas
There's no shortage of wildlife tourist parks in north Queensland, but this one is up there with the best.
There's no shortage of wildlife tourist parks in north Queensland, but this one is up there with the best.
A hidden pathway leads through tropical gardens to intimate white-cloth tables amid tall palms at this decades-old fine-dining institution. Seafood is a speciality, such as wok-tossed mud crab with kaffir lime and lemongrass laksa. The pièce de résistance is the six-course chef's tasting menu ($110; $160 with paired wines). Children under eight aren't accepted.
Kids will get a kick out of this cute, miniature steam train. Every Sunday (and some public holidays), it runs from the little station at Marina Mirage to St Crispins station at 11am, 1pm and 2.30pm, stopping at Dougies, Mirage Country Club and Rydges Sabaya Resort. A round trip takes about one hour; discounts are available for shorter sections. Buy tickets onboard.
Welcome to Cairns Airport. Don't arrive and wonder what to do next and how to get to your hotel - book now and let a pre scheduled airport transfer take all that worry away for you! Operated with regular transfers from Cairns Airport to most Cairns city hotels, Northern Beaches hotels, Port Douglas hotels and Silky Oaks Lodge.
There'd be an outcry if this locals' favourite took its macadamia-crumbed eggplant (with grilled and roast veggies, goat's cheese and wild rocket) off the menu. But it's the setting that makes it really worth heading to the southern end of Four Mile Beach: a lantern-lit garden with sand underfoot. Good reef fish, sirloins and blackboard specials, too.
Major operator with fast cruises to Agincourt Reef. If you don't want to get your hair wet, try an 'ocean walk' helmet dive ($142) on a submerged platform, with hoses attached to your helmet so you can breathe normally (great for non-swimmers and kids over 12). Also offers scenic helicopter flights from the pontoon on the reef ($148, minimum two passengers).
Backed by palms, this broad band of squeaky white sand reaches as far as your squinting eyes can see. In front of the surf life-saving club is a swimming enclosure patrolled and protected with a stinger net during summer. For a fine view over Four Mile Beach, follow Wharf St and the steep Island Point Rd to Flagstaff Hill Lookout .
Transfer from your Cairns, Northern Beaches, Port Douglas or Silky Oaks Lodge. For assured top quality timely service, make sure you arrive at Cairns Airport on time for your outward flight. Eliminate the end of vacation hassle of organizing your airport transfer now by pre booking this regular pre scheduled transfer service from your hotel to Cairns Airport.
Jutting out over Dickson Inlet, tables spread out along a huge deck where you can await the 5pm arrival of George the grouper, who comes to feed most days. Take up the bucket of prawns and a drink deal for $18 from 3.30pm to 5.30pm, or choose your own crayfish and mud crabs from the live tank. Great service, cool atmosphere.
Over 70 wines (40 by the glass) and 110 spirits and liqueurs set Zinc apart from its neighbours – as do dishes, such as pan-seared bugs with apple- and vanilla-scented sweet potato purée and candied cashews. Don't leave without checking out the floor-to-ceiling, fish-filled aquarium in the bathrooms!
These markets are treasure without the trash. Only wares that are made by the stall holders or their families – including arts, crafts and jewellery, plus locally produced tropical fruits and the like – are allowed to be sold here. Make sure you arrive early before it all sells.
Named after its chef, Toni Sassi, this is a high-quality Italian restaurant where the pasta is made on the premises and the spinach is cooked to order. To top this, your food is served in an exceptional dining environment (by the pool under palm trees highlighted by lights).
A bit of whacky outback shearing-shed decor never goes astray in Queensland. After polishing off your Don Bradman eye fillet (the steaks are named after famous Aussies), head upstairs for a flutter on the cane-toad races ($5). Usually the latest closer in town.

Greenpeace puts HP in top spot in greener-electronics guide
HP is now the top-ranked tech company, according to Greenpeace's latest guide to greener electronics.
The guide's criteria has been updated to take into greater account energy use, conflict minerals, green products, and supply chain energy use.
Greenpeace released its latest rankings today, showing HP moving ahead three to the top spot. It's a big leap considering that just six years ago HP was targeted by Greenpeace as one of the worst tech companies for using fire retardant materials suspected of being hazardous. At the time, Greenpeace members stood outside of HP's headquarters and handed out … Read more

Newsday is reporting that a deal is in the works to move the primary date for state legislative races from Sept. 11 to Sept. 13.
That could affect voters in four St. Lawrence County towns who will be voting in an Assembly election. Assemblywoman Janet Duprey, R-Peru, is facing possible primary challenges from Karen Bisso and David Kimmel, conservative activists who live in Clinton County.
Because of her vote for gay marriage, Ms. Duprey is not eligible for the Conservative Party's line. Ms. Bisso and Mr. Kimmel say that they will try to force a Republican primary, so if they can get together the organizational wherewithal to get on the ballot, they'll be looking at a Sept. 13 GOP primary.

Check back with Omaha.com this afternoon for more jokes from Brad.
* President Obama is in Des Moines on Thursday. I tell you, these self-congratulatory ceremonies of Iowans for finally choosing a new Cy-Hawk Trophy are starting to get out of hand.
* To underscore the importance of Iowa in the presidential election, President Obama, Michelle Obama, Joe Biden and Jill Biden have all visited recently. And on Tuesday, first dog Bo will be in Ankeny.
* Fox News host Chris Wallace won on "Celebrity Jeopardy." Had he lost, through force of habit he was prepared to blame the Obama administration.
* Wallace's score would've been even higher, but after the clue "The biggest disaster of the 21st century," he couldn't help but answer: "What is CNN?"
* The president and Mitt Romney have been busy speaking at college commencements. I, too, spoke to a group of recent college grads: I went to McDonald's and placed an order.
* Romney is now implying that there's a personal beef between Obama and Bill Clinton. Surely the two men can come together over their common ground. One guy can't find his birth certificate, and the other keeps forgetting he has a marriage license.
* I think Romney may be on to something. Last time Clinton and Obama campaigned together, each man was holding his nose.
* This is nothing petty. Apparently, the bad blood between Obama and Clinton began with an argument over who got to sit next to George Clooney at a fundraiser.
* Joe Biden said that a background in private equity does not make you more qualified to be president than to be a plumber. Joe the Plumber said he's not 100 percent sure, but he thinks Biden just endorsed him.
* Of course, the big difference between being plumber and president: Plumbers make more money.
* According to financial disclosure documents, President Obama may be worth up to $10 million and may have doubled his net worth while in office. In Nebraska we call this "attorney general."
* Obama may be worth up to $10 million. I wondered why he recently called for raising taxes on the "super rich" - those worth 10 million and one dollars.
* According to financial disclosure documents, Vice President Joe Biden has assets of less than $1 million and liabilities of up to $1.5 million. This means next time you see Biden on a golf course, he may be caddying to earn spending money.
* Thursday is a milestone day. We're now heading into the second year of the 2012 NBA playoffs.
* Miss New Hampshire USA 2010 was arrested for assault after she allegedly punched, pushed, kicked and bit her boyfriend. As she was hauled away in handcuffs, she was heard screaming that what she really wants is world peace.
* The town of Las Cruces, N.M., has begun turning off the utilities of people who have unpaid parking tickets. I'm proud that I live in Omaha, where police downtown have a more civilized way of dealing with unpaid tickets - towing your car into the river.
* The first casino has opened in Cleveland. Clevelanders are used to million-to-one odds. They see them whenever one of their professional sports teams kicks off a new season.

Sacks for Sandy Spreads Holiday Cheer to Kids
Michele Catalano of East Meadow and Leah Reich of California joined efforts from across the country to children affected by the storm.
Catalano and Reich created their website, Sacks for Sandy, and in just one week have collected more than 700 toys for children affected by Sandy. There has also been a social media movement surrounding the effort.
Inspired by the Occupy Sandy Registry, the two started their mission by creating a wish list of on Amazon.com and then spread the word on their personal Facebook and Twitter accounts. It probably helped their cause that Catalano has nearly 1 million Twitter followers.
For more stories like this or to upload information about a similar effort, follow our Giving and Volunteering groups.
"We put it up and then people started responding, sharing our statuses and donating," Catalano said.
The gifts will be donated to firehouses in Lindenhurst, Massapequa, Lido Beach, Island Park and East Rockaway for distribution. The two women hope to collect 1,000 gifts by Friday when the collection drive ends.
Reich said that watching the coverage of a storm that affected her close friend made her want to give back.
"You just feel helpless," she told Patch via Skype. "People lost basic things, but the kids still love the holidays. They should still have Christmas and Hanukkah after all the devastation."
Catalano, who was without electricity for 13 days herself, agreed that normalcy is important for those who remain displaced or are in the rebuilding process.
Catalano said that she came to the realization that people do care about one another and that the Internet is in fact a powerful tool.
"If we don't collect 1,000 gifts, we still got an overwhelming amount from strangers over the Internet," she said. "And it proves that social media can be used to do good because you are able to reach so many people. I have met some of my closest friends online."
But in the end, it is all about the children.
"They went through a devastating thing and have been traumatized," Catalano said. "We just want to bring smiles to these kids faces." Want to help? Donate a gift to Sacks for Sandy here.

A ghoul is a folkloric monster or spirit associated with graveyards and consuming human flesh, often classified as undead. The oldest surviving literature that mention ghouls is likely One Thousand and One Nights.[1] The term was first used in English literature in 1786, in William Beckford's Orientalist novel Vathek,[2] which describes the ghūl of Arabian folklore.
By extension, the word ghoul is also used in a derogatory sense to refer to a person who delights in the macabre, or whose profession is linked directly to death, such as a gravedigger ("graverobber").
Early etymology[edit]
Ghoul is from the Arabic الغول ghul, from ghala "to seize".[3] The term is etymologically related to Gallu, a Mesopotamian demon.[4][5]
In Arabian folklore[edit]
In ancient Arabian folklore, the ghūl (Arabic: literally demon)[6] dwells in burial grounds and other uninhabited places. The ghul is a fiendish type of jinn believed to be sired by Iblis.[7]
A ghul is also a desert-dwelling, shapeshifting, evil demon that can assume the guise of an animal, especially a hyena. It lures unwary people into the desert wastes or abandoned places to slay and devour them. The creature also preys on young children, drinks blood, steals coins, and eats the dead,[6] then taking the form of the person most recently eaten.
In the Arabic language, the female form is given as ghouleh[8] and the plural is ghilan .[citation needed] In colloquial Arabic, the term is sometimes used to describe a greedy or gluttonous individual.
Other influences[edit]
The star Algol takes its name from the definite Arabic term Rās al-ghūl, or The Demon's Head.[9] Ra's al Ghul is also the name of major Batman villain.

October 30th, 2012 at 12:04 pmThat snake must be compensation for something. The bloke looks somewhat under-endowed in the crotch region.
But maybe that's a good thing, given that pointy, sharp-edged piece of armour covering his underbelly.
Phil Says:
October 30th, 2012 at 12:29 pmI thought the encircled eagle's head on his chest was a new candidate for the role of modesty sheep (or modesty C.S.Lewis)… and would be better deployed masking the lady's devil's dumplings and/or gender-inappropriate armour genitals.

And wouldn't it be wonderful if the edition of YOUNG MILES in the background is the same as the one we had the other day?
Frank Says:
October 30th, 2012 at 6:04 pmOh foo, did I type the artist's name as "Ramos"? Sorry about that. "Cover illustration by Romas" is what it said in the publication info. I'm guessing it's by Romas Kukalis who did the cover art recently featured for "Death Trek".

Jerk of all Trades Says:
November 4th, 2012 at 3:17 amUnless the nipples on that armor is so that she can distract the evil wizard's army of teenage boys long enough to dispatch them, I'm guessing it's due to someone objecting to allowing actual bared breasts on the cover.

Church hopes expansion will create heavenly appearance
Date: January 14, 2010
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
When Church of the Redeemer was built in 1950, its front entrance had a grand view of Sarasota Bay, a welcoming entryway into the church.
That, however, was before Gulfstream Avenue was built, with its cul-de-sac that sits just outside that entrance.
Now the back of the church, along Palm Avenue, is the side that most people see.
"Anyone who wants to see the front of the church has to go out of their way to do so," said the Rev. Fred Robinson, Church of the Redeemer's rector. "The project will provide a much more hospitable front."
Andy Dorr, a 14-year church member and head of its Facility and Capital Projects Committee, agrees.
"The backside is pretty unwelcoming," he said.
Dorr is now leading an effort, with Apex-Studio architects, Wilson Miller and W.G. Mills, to create a new entryway on Palm Avenue, which church leaders hope will let more people know the church is there and that it is open to the public.
"We are a community facility," said Dorr. "The Downtown Sarasota Alliance, Al-Anon, musical groups, the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts meet there. We want people to know they can use our facilities."
The church is spending an estimated $300,000 to build a new entry vestibule and covered porch on Palm Avenue. More than $25,000 of the cost will be spent on landscaping — raised planters, in-ground planters and 26-foot-tall oak trees.
The church's vestry will meet next week to approve the budget and final design.
The project requires two adjustments, because of conflicts with city code. One deals with the fact that it is on a street zoned for retail stores, and the other request is relief from a height requirement. The new addition will be just more than 10 feet high, but city code dictates a minimum of 12 feet.
The Planning Board and City Commission need to OK those adjustments. Barring any problems with those boards, construction is expected to begin in March and be complete by July.

Sony Ericsson outs see-through screen phone
Watch in HD at Reg Hardware's YouTube channel Can't see the video? Download FlashPlayer from Adobe.com Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness
What is it for?
It looks horrid, the screen eh, why would you want to be able to look though the screen. I also like to see keys before making the light come on to see them. A pointless peace of backward technology.
Not a fan
We've been selling this phone in Selfridges for a couple of months now. Selling for £649, this phone really is for people with more money than sense. Half the time you cannot see the screen properly and the features are pretty lousy.
Surely this phone has been out for ages? I was shown one by a lady from Sony Ericsson about 3 months ago...
And the point is?
I think this might have been the biggest waste of time I have taken part in today - that includes throwing a sheep at someone on Facebook and writing this comment.
Rubbish phone serving no purpose.

CHAPTER V.MR BOSANQUET'S ARGUMENT TO PROVE THAT THE BANK OF ENGLAND HAS NOT THE POWER OF FORCING THE CIRCULATION OF BANK NOTES, CONSIDERED. The fourth proposition is what now presents itself for discussion: "That the Bank, during the restriction, possesses exclusively the power of limiting the circulation of bank notes." It is difficult to determine whether Mr Bosanquet thinks that even a forced paper circulation could have the effect of lowering the exchange; so confidently is it asserted by him that there is no connexion between the exchanges and the amount of bank notes. If the Bank were to become truly a Government Bank, in the sense in which Mr Bosanquet somewhere uses that term; if they were to advance all the money requisite for the service of the year; if from 20 millions they were to raise the amount of their notes to 50 millions, would not such a bank be justly said to force a circulation of paper? and would not the effect of such a forced circulation of paper be, that their notes would be depreciated, that the price of bullion would rise, and the foreign exchanges fall? Would not these effects take place although Government were to guarantee the notes of the Bank, and the final payment of them should by no one be doubted? Would not the abundance of the circulation alone produce depreciation? Or, is it to be maintained that no abundance of paper money, provided its final redemption be certain, can cause depreciation? A proposition so extravagant will hardly, I think, be supported, and it must therefore be admitted that depreciation may arise from the abundance of notes alone, however great might be the funds of those who were the issuers of them. As these symptoms, then, which accompany a forced paper currency are, at this moment, too glaring to be denied, as they cannot be accounted for in any other way either by theory or by an appeal to experience, are we not justified in our suspicions that the Bank of England, as at present constituted, is not so devoid of the power of forcing a circulation as their friends would have us believe? It is not intended by the words, forced circulation, to accuse the Bank of having departed from those cautions which have usually accompanied the issue of their paper; it is meant only that the restriction bill enables them to keep in circulation an amount of notes (allowance made for the coin that would then be in circulation) greater than they could maintain but for that measure. It is this surplus sum which I consider as producing precisely the same effects as if it were forced on the public by a Government Bank. The plea that no more is issued than the wants of commerce require is of no weight; because the sum required for such purpose cannot be defined. Commerce is insatiable in its demands, and the same portion of it may employ 10 millions or 100 millions of circulating medium; the quantity depends wholly on its value. If the mines had been ten times more productive, ten times more money would the same commerce employ. This Mr Bosanquet admits, but denies the analogy between the issues of the Bank and the produce of a new gold mine. On this subject Mr Bosanquet makes the following observations: "Mr Ricardo has assimilated the Bank of England during the restriction, so far as relates to the effects of its issues, to a gold mine, the produce of which being thrown into circulation, in addition to the circulating medium already sufficient, is an excess; and has the acknowledged effect of depreciating the value of the existing medium, or, in other words, of raising the prices of commodities for which it is usually exchanged. But Mr Ricardo has not stated what is essential to the comparison, why it is that the discovery of a gold mine would produce this effect. It would produce it, because the proprietors would issue it, for whatever services, without any engagement, to give an equal value for it again to the holders, or any wish, or any means, of calling back and annihilating that which they have issued. By degrees, as the issues increase they exceed the wants of circulation; gold produces no benefit to the holder as gold; he cannot eat it, nor clothe himself with it; to render it useful, he must exchange it either for such things as are immediately useful, or for such as produce revenue. The demand, and consequently the prices, of commodities and real properties measured in gold, increases, and will continue to increase as long as the mine continues to produce. And this effect will equally follow whether, under the circumstances I have supposed, the issue be gold from a mine or paper from a Government Bank. All this I distinctly admit; but in all this statement, there is not one point of analogy to the issues of the Bank of England. "But the principle on which the Bank issues its notes is that of loan. Every note is issued at the requisition of some party, who becomes indebted to the Bank for its amount, and gives security to return this note, or another of equal value, at a fixed and not remote period; paying an interest proportioned to the time allowed." Now, supposing the gold mine to be actually the property of the Bank, even to be situated on their own premises, and that they procured the gold which it produced to be coined into guineas, and in lieu of issuing their notes when they discounted bills or lent money to Government, that they issued nothing but guineas: could there be any other limit to their issues but the want of the further productiveness in their mine? In what would the circumstances differ if the mine were the property of the king, of a company of merchants, or of a single individual? In that case Mr Bosanquet admits that the value of money would fall, and I suppose he would also admit that it would fall in exact proportion to its increase. What would be done with the gold by the owner of the mine? It must be either employed at interest by himself, or it would finally find its way into the hands of those who would so employ it. This is its natural destination; it may pass through the hands of 100 or 1000 persons, but it could be employed in no other manner at last. Now, if the mine should double the quantity of money, it would depress its value in the same proportion, and there would be double the demand for it. A merchant who before required the loan of 10,000l. would now want 20,000l.; and it could be of little importance to him whether he continued to borrow 10,000l. of the Bank, and 10,000l. of those with whom the money finally rested, or whether he borrowed the whole 20,000l. of the Bank. The analogy seems to me to be complete, and not to admit of dispute. The issues of paper not convertible are guided by the same principle, and will be attended with the same effects as if the Bank were the proprietor of the mine, and issued nothing but gold. However much gold may be increased, borrowers will increase to the same amount, in consequence of its depreciation; and the same rule is equally true with respect to paper. If money be but depreciated sufficiently, there is no amount which may not be absorbed, and it would not make the slightest difference whether the Bank with their notes actually purchased the commodities themselves, or whether they discounted the bills of those who would so employ them. If it were granted to Mr Bosanquet that a given sum, and no more, could be absorbed in the circulation, the effects he states would follow: but I deny that there would be a surplus seeking in vain for advantageous employment, and which, not being able to find it, would necessarily either return to the Bank in payment of a bill already discounted, or would prevent an application to them for an advance of money to that amount. If money, however abundantly issued, could retain its value, such might be the effects; but as, when once it is brought into circulation, depreciation commences, the employment for the additional sum would retain it in the currency. Let us recur to the effect which would result from the establishment of a bank of undoubted credit in a country where the circulation was wholly metallic. Such a bank would discount bills or make advances to Government as our Bank does; and if the principle now contended for by Mr Bosanquet be correct, their notes would necessarily return on them as soon as issued; because the metallic currency being before sufficient for the commerce of the country, no additional quantity could be employed.—But this is contrary both to theory and experience. The issues of the Bank would, as they now do, not only depreciate the currency, but the value of bullion at the same time, as I have endeavoured to explain at page 338; this, again, would be the temptation to exportation, and the diminution of the currency would make it regain its value. The Bank would issue more notes, and the same effects would follow; but in no case would there be such an excess as would induce any holder of notes to return them to the Bank in payment of loans, if the law against the exportation of money could be effectually executed. Money would be demanded because it could be profitably exported, and not because it could not be absorbed in the circulation. But let us suppose a case in which money could not be profitably exported—Let us suppose all the countries of Europe to carry on their circulation by means of the precious metals, and that each were at the same moment to establish a Bank on the same principles as the Bank of England—Could they, or could they not, each add to the metallic circulation a certain portion of paper? and could or could they not permanently maintain that paper in circulation? If they could, the question is at an end; an addition might then be made to a circulation already sufficient, without occasioning the notes to return to the Bank in payment of bills due. If it is said they could not, then I appeal to experience, and ask for some explanation of the manner in which bank notes were originally called into existence, and how they are permanently kept in circulation. I should find it laborious to follow up in all its bearings the analogy between the first establishment of a Bank, the discovery of a mine, and the present situation of our Bank; but of this I am fully certain, that if the principle advanced by the Bank Directors be correct, not a bank note could ever have been permanently kept in circulation, nor would the discovery of the mines of America have added one guinea to the circulation of England. The additional gold would, according to this system, have found a circulation already adequate, and in which no more could be admitted. The refusal to discount any bills but those for bonâ fide transactions would be as little effectual in limiting the circulation; because, though the Directors should have the means of distinguishing such bills, which can by no means be allowed, a greater portion of paper currency might be called into circulation, not than the wants of commerce could employ, but greater than what could remain in the channel of currency without depreciation. It is well known that the same thousand pounds may settle 20 bonâ fide transactions in one day. It may pay for a ship; the seller of a ship may pay with it his rope-maker;—he again may pay the Russian merchants for hemp, &c., &c. Now, as each of these was a bonâ fide transaction, a bill might have been drawn by each, and the Bank, by their rule, might discount them all; so that 20,000l. might be called into circulation to perform those payments for which 1000l. was equal. I am aware that the opinion of Dr Smith, as quoted by Mr Bosanquet, appears to favour his opinion; but that able writer has, in various passages of his work, and within a few pages of that from whence Mr Bosanquet has quoted, declared that "The whole paper money of every kind which can easily circulate in any country can never exceed the value of the gold and silver of which it supplies the place, or which (the commerce being supposed the same) would circulate there if there were no paper money." To this test we must not submit our currency. If at its present amount it consisted of gold and silver, no laws, however severe, could retain it in circulation; a part would be melted and exported till it was reduced to its just level. At that level it would be as impossible to force the exportation of it. In such case we should no longer hear of the balance of payments being against us, nor of the necessity of exporting gold in return for corn. That such would be the consequences cannot be doubted by those who are familiar with the writings of Dr Smith. But if it should be otherwise, if the Continent should adopt the almost impossible, absurd policy of wishing to buy more of that of which they already had too much, what evil consequences would ensue to us, even if our currency were reduced to the same level at which it stood before the discovery of America? Would not this be a national gain? inasmuch as the circulation of the same commerce being carried on with a smaller amount of gold, the balance might be profitably employed in procuring a return of more useful and more productive commodities. And if the circulation of paper were reduced in the same proportion, would not the profits now gained by the Bank be enjoyed by those who can show a much better title to them? It is fortunate for the public that there should exist the disinclination to discount at the Bank which Mr Bosanquet mentions,—as without some such check, it is impossible to say to what amount bank notes might by this time have been multiplied. Indeed, to all those who have given the subject any consideration, it is matter of surprise that our circulation has been confined within such moderate bounds, after knowing the principles which the Bank Directors have avowed as their guide in regulating their issues. |

Our defense is bad and finding a 4-3 rush end is hard to fing and expensive to keep.If the Titans let Gray go i think they should consider a switch.Wimbley played in a 3-4 i believe and Akeem Ayers seems to be a hybrid.Add a nose and build from there.Just a thought. I know it is a big transition and could take a few years personell wise, but our D has been bad for more than a few years anywhere. Hire Eric Mangini to run the D
I wouldn't be opposed to it, but consider some factors that may change you mind: (Or maybe not)
1. Youth: It is a fact that we are youthful in the front 7. Players that are within their first 3 yrs of the league just don't play as well......generally speaking. All 3 LB's are only a couple yrs old. Most of our better DT's are only a couple yrs old. Morgan has been in the league a little longer but hasn't played to gain experience. Wimbley has played, but at LB and not DE. So, literally the entire front 7 are young. Our safetys are likely more of a lack of talent and/or suffering from a poor front 7. Our CB's are young. So whatever defense we choose to run we need to take time to develop these guys and inject some starting talent and depth.
2. Coaching: With so much youth on defense it's hard to determine how much coaching is a factor. When Ayers is out of position again, takes a poor angle, or doesn't wrap up the tackler for the 15th time in a game.....it may not be a problem with coaching. Ayers has to grow up and develop as a player or end up taking a hike. Still coaching involves managing your talent and putting your players in a position to succeed. It is entirely possible that the coaching is ok given the lack of talent and youth, but its entirely possible that better coaching can change the defense entirely.
3. Changing from 4-3 to 3-4: If you think our defense is off now, start a change to a new defensive scheme. Despite possible poor coaching and lack of talent and experience, we are built to run the 4-3. Our defense could completely turn around and be a top 10 defense in 1-2 yrs if done correctly. There is no way that you can commit to change to a 3-4 and become a top 15 defense in 3-4 yrs. There would have to be a number of changes in personnel, coaching, etc.....way more than what we currently need.
4. Hard to find personnel: Finding a stud DE is tough, but you don't get one by neglecting the position. It was an absolute primary need throughout all of last yr. The front office did sign Wimbley (who has been playing LB for the last few yrs, not DE) but then let Jason Jones get away......and he was one of our better DE's the past 5 yrs. Then they didn't draft practically anyone. Despite the neglect, you can get better DE play through other avenues. Get a stud DT and the DE next to him will see his numbers spike. Put a good LB behind a DE and that DE will look better than he is. Get better CB's to allow more time to get to the QB and the DE will play better.
When Grey got here he talked about not being bound to only one scheme. I would agree at times we should play as a 3/4, Ayers and Brown coming of the edge would be hard to stop and provide a lot of speed in the pass rush. But a complete change of system is a bad idea, not sure how I feel about using the ruby. Seems a system better suited for a team that's strength is there db's.
Great breakdown Raider,I know we are young and only going to get better with more talent and experience.I have just been through years and years of P.Manning carving our defense twice a year,and now we have to deal with A.Luck.If we don't have flexibility in our defense and able to offer new looks and have the personell to try and confuse him a little, we will never even compete for the division title.Unless we stockpile defensive talent for a few years and sign some great players via free agency.
