The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
Last week was a gore fest. What promised to be an average day of SEC ball turned into an orgy of delight in the misery of others.
Georgia, South Carolina, LSU, Texas A&M and Florida started the day favored and excited about the future, but their dreams turned to ashes before the bars closed.
It was like watching five different volcanoes erupt and destroy five different villages: grass huts bursting into flame, screaming villagers fleeing scalding ash and lava, livestock hurling themselves into lakes.
It was great.
So now it's Week 9, and nobody's happy except Alabama, Auburn and Missouri. How much longer will that last?
More weird things are on the horizon. Coach Potato can feel it. Halloween is just around the corner.
That's why this week, instead of predicting outcomes so that college message board trolls can launch profane tirades at us from the other side of the computer screen, we'll conclude each game summary with quotes from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Frank: So come up to the lab and see what's on the slab. I see you shiver with antici …… pation.
Both teams have QB issues. Vandy's Austyn Carta-Samuels is questionable and Johnny Football fell on his shoulder short of the Auburn goal in the fourth quarter, got up gimpy, then staggered back into play a few series later and was not himself. Auburn took advantage to mount a dramatic comeback against the worst defense in Christendom to all but eliminate the Aggs from the BCS picture.
Vandy is stoked after beating a dispirited, beat-up Georgia bunch last week. Even last year's golden 9-4 season didn't include a win over Georgia or a ranked opponent. Now this one does.
Vandy and A&M, two wounded teams, tearing each other to shreds: what a great way to start the morning.
Riff Raff: It's astounding. Time is fleeting. Madness takes its toll.
First-year coach Butch Jones probably doesn't really know how much his fans hate Alabama and how much Alabama fans hate his team, everything that has to do with his team and by association, him.
He will, very soon.
Alabama lost safety Vinnie Sunseri to a snapped ACL. Sunseri was an overachieving, Charlie Hustle guy that even people who hated Alabama liked.
If you are one of those people, feel free to hate with impunity.
Because after a slow start, Alabama is keeping it street and looking like the all-destroying death machine hated by all.
Defensive back Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is back after a brief suspension for borrowing a few hundred bucks from his assistant strength coach. T.J. Yeldon and Kenyan Drake are providing a crushing run game behind a steadily improving offensive line. A.J. McCarron is picking defenses apart with his typical, boring efficiency.
In contrast to the bitter cloud that has descended over most of the league, Tennessee's fans are fairly giddy after last week's win over schizophrenic South Carolina. But they're bummed when they realize they'd be the beast of the East if they'd only beaten Georgia, which was happening until that incredible, overtime fumble on the goal line.
So, is Tennessee any good or what? Could these be the guys to finally knock off Alabama and make the world rise in a chorus of celebration?
Chorus: But it's the pelvic thrust/ That really drives you insane./Let's do the time warp again.
South Carolina, what's the deal, guys? Couch Potato extolled you as the national title dark horse, and look what you have done to my credibility. Thanks a lot.
What was wrong with Steve Spurrier last week? When he called back-to-back time outs and then punted anyway, he had the same look on his face as my dog when I pretend to throw the stick, and she runs after it and then realizes it's still in my hand.
"What? What? Where's the stick? Where's the stick! Ahhhhhh! I can't find the stupid stick! Wait, what? You've got the stick? How can you still have the stick? You threw it! I saw you throw it! barkbarkbarkbarkbarkbarkbarkbark!"
Connor Shaw is hurt, and guess what else?
In this actual universe and not one imagined by H.P. Lovecraft, Missouri is the golden team of the SEC East, despite being located halfway to California and two hours closer to Minneapolis than Atlanta.
And they're led by this guy, redshirt freshman replacement QB Maty Mauk, who allowed himself to be forever typecast with this NSFW collection of ill-considered photos.
Couch Potato doesn't want to watch this game. But he will. A victim to the same compulsion that made him tap the brakes and gawk in bumper-to-bumper traffic on I-95 north of West Palm Beach that time when the pickup truck loaded to the axles with stolen outboard motors overturned in the median and random people were screeching to a halt, grabbing them and muscling them into the beds of Rancheros and the backseats of Chrysler convertibles then speeding off.
It was just too weird and awful not to look at.
The Criminologist: And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time, and lost in space... and meaning.
The others: Furman at LSU, which is in need of a sacrifice to the football gods to atone for last week's hideous loss; Florida Atlantic at national championship contender Auburn; Idaho at Ole Miss, which is in need of a sacrifice to the football gods in thanks for last week's unlikely win.
Magenta: You're lucky, he's lucky, I'm lucky, we're all lucky! Ha ha ha...

Home > About IEEE > History Center
Since its inception, IEEE has had a standing History Committee advising the IEEE Board of Directors on matters of the legacy and heritage of IEEE and its members and their related professions and technologies, and carrying out some activities in those areas.
In 1980, in anticipation of its Centennial celebration in 1984, IEEE established the IEEE History Center to be the staff arm of the History Committee. In 1990, the Center moved to the campus of Rutgers University, which became a cosponsor. In 2010, the Center also entered into a cooperative agreement with the University of California, Merced, in order to have a presence near the high-tech centers of the U.S.'s west coast. Today, IEEE's central historical activities are carried out largely by the staff of the History Center, under the guidance of the History Committee.
The IEEE History Center is a not-for-profit organization which relies on your support to preserve, research, and promote the legacy of electrical engineering and computing.
Support the Center's projects, such as the Global History Network, Milestones, and Oral History Collection.
The mission of the IEEE History Center is to preserve, research and promote the history of information and electrical technologies. The Center maintains many useful resources for the engineer, for the historian of technology, and for anyone interested in the development of electrical and computer engineering and their role in modern society. The History Center building is not a museum, and does not contain artifacts or exhibits, being merely offices and the library. Visiting scholars and researchers are welcome to use our research library and archives, by appointment only. To make an appointment, please contact email@example.com.
Most of the Center's resources are available online at the IEEE Global History Network. The Center's holdings include the IEEE Archives, which consist of the unpublished records of IEEE and a collection of historical photographs relating to the history of electrical and computer technologies, and a collection of oral history transcripts of pioneering engineers. Within IEEE, the History Center is part of IEEE Corporate Activities, and it is co-sponsored by Rutgers University, where it is affiliated with the History Department of the New Brunswick Campus School of Arts and Sciences.

Wind and over-the-air TV signals
Cable never made it to my semi-isolated residence. Never had satellite either-- long story for another time, perhaps. I have two antennas, each feeding different TVs. One of them is in the attic since Mrs. Bus Driver had words to say about the suggestion that two antennas should be on masts above the roof. The attic antenna is a Winegard omni-directional amplified unit. Probably would be great if up on the roof since I know the attic location diminishes it's effectiveness. But it gets about 7 stations very reliably-- unless the wind is blowing. The antenna is not moving-- not in the slightest. So either the wind affects the digital signal as it travels from the originating antenna or the wind affects the transmitting antenna by shaking it. Such shaking would change the angle from there to my antenna far less than any angle that could be calculated.
But the signal does break up frequently during strong winds. Any knowledgeable ideas why?
Luck favors those who are prepared
Re: Wind and over-the-air TV signals
I've noticed poorer signals associated with "bad weather" in general. I have never seen any explanation. However, wind has to correlate to both clouds/moisture and dust in the air. I assume that either moisture or dust wil tend to disperse amd break up the TV signals.
Re: Wind and over-the-air TV signals
I thought I was the only one who thought wind affected the signal quality. Didn't mention since I was sure people would think I was crazy. We're 30 miles from the nearest transmitter and use a fixed rooftop antenna. Cable is available but I'm too cheap to pay for it for 45 minutes of tv a day. Vern
Re: Wind and over-the-air TV signals
I have the same problem. Cable isn't available (wouldn't pay for it if it was) and I'm 45 miles from any TV station antenna. I have two boosters to transmit any signal I get until storms or high winds comes along.
Everybody around here has satellite TV to get basic TV…for $30 a month.
I'm really good at doing nothing…With that said…I'm really, really good at doing nothing
Re: Wind and over-the-air TV signals
"but I'm too cheap to pay for it for 45 minutes of tv a day." A man after my own heart. Actually, my rooftop antenna, the biggest I could find plus an amplifier mounted directly on the antenna, with rotor, performs better than I expected. I get reliable reception on several stations at least 125 miles away. I have bought several devices that purport to permit remote operation of the antenna rotor from several locations within a house. None worked reliably for me. So I use the big antenna for the more distant stations and just go to the basement to set the antenna direction as needed. The attic antenna gets stations within about 50 miles without a rotor and I use it for those in that range. And can record at 3 different locations from three different channels simultaneously if desired. It all cost less than a years worth of satellite charges.
With the "subchannels" now offered, I probably get 50 channels.
For a number of years of my life, there was no TV. And for most of the other years I was working long hours. If I have not seen it before, any program is "new".
Luck favors those who are prepared
Re: Wind and over-the-air TV signals
Cars driving by on a bad reception day cause my signal to "digitize".
Thanks to the goverment for fixing broadcast TV.

Re: Wind and over-the-air TV signals
I did a serious amount of research when installing our Over-the-air TV setup. There are many factors that interact with your reception. But my main question since things get worse with wind is do you have trees near by?
Your single reception is greatly affected by stuff right around it. Wind moving branches can seriously affect this. in fact, I pick up on my my main channels by not pointing directly at it. (there is a large tree directly in front of mine)
How to determine tv station location
Also, you may be able to increase your quality. If your quality is just barely good enough to maintain a signal on a sunny day it may suffer with bad weather... making it a great signal may help... hard to do where you are sounds like.
Things to think about in no particular order:
1) height of your house in relation to surroundings (trees/mountains, tall buildings, etc)
2) Distance from your antenna to the TV.
3) cable. use RG6 quad shielded.
4) nearby metal stuff... especially the other antenna... are they directly below each other? depending on the wavelength of the largest wavelength channel you want you need to be future apart than that from other metal things... mine is 3 ft vertically. More than that horizontally.
5) You may be getting too much interference... static in the old days. Using a preamp does not fix interference... just makes it amplified like the signal, which could make matters actually worse.
6) Asphalt and large structures can bounce signals too. When choosing to point to the side of my large tree, I pointed to the left of it because to the right I lined up perpendicular to the road in front of my house... so I was receiving signal in the air straight from the tower then milliseconds later receiving signal from bounce off my road -AKA: interference.
7) i don't think wind affects signals too much. I've had strong winds with good reception. Bad weather on the other hand can. cloud coverage without bad weather can actually improve far away signals... Mine has also done fine with snow on it.
You may consider a directional antenna. They improve signal reception by not trying to hard... I have a directional antenna that has a 45 degree pickup range... so it's not too directional. Also, you'll pick up channels from the back too (ex: my antenna points at about 2Oclock to most of my channells and picks up PBS from about 7 Oclock.
9) you might consider not using a pre-amp, but using an amplified splitter or a amp later half way if your cable distance is long.
10) Higher is almost always better. Mine is on roof on 2nd floor about 10 ft above roofline.
I have this feeling there is more... but... can't remember
Even still... bad weather rolls though and you get pixelation...
the new system the gov settled on dhtv requires enough strength for picture and sound at the same time so you'll need a 65-70% strong signal to keep a clean picture.... not sure why they didn't let though just the sound... at least in the old days if you have a bad signal you could get a fuzzy picture and sound... No It's not just the way it is.... It was a standards decision regarding software. Europe can lose picture and still have sound.... oh well.. I'll stop rambling...
Hope that helps! good luck.
Re: Wind and over-the-air TV signals
Very interesting. The rooftop antenna is above the trees and power lines. There are numerous trees between the attic antenna and the station that we typically watch. So that seems to me to be the explanation. My two antennas are at least 40 feet apart, at different elevations, and do not seem to interfere with each other.

Re: Wind and over-the-air TV signals
Not exactly. Antennas that are tuned to the same frequencies will interact with each other causing RFI/BCI problems. The only reason why I can group my dipoles, verticals, Sinclair and the tri-bander beam is because they operate on different bands. However I do have to be careful for harmonics, that can really mess up my shack. I have two 1930's superheterodyne receivers on a long wire antenna. If I am close with my recievers to my transmit freq it really messes up my brain and ears, and if I happen to run over a harmonic frequency same thing happens. I run a Yaesu FT 101 series shack and I have UHF and VHF gear as well. Same holds true for my Yaesu FRG-7.
Shielding is extremely important. RG6 is pretty good cable and pretty much the only thing better is hard line. Close proximity of your antennas will cause problems, interference, degraded signals and difficulty retaining good signal quality. One antenna should be sufficient so I would choose the one that works the best - the indoor attic antenna will definitely not be exposed to the elements such as wind. The yagi is probably the best for high loss signals but being outside you will have to contend with the vagarities of Mother Nature.
Oh yeah, CME's will do a real number on you BC TV Signal. It also affects Digital as well but usually only for milliseconds at a time.

Re: Wind and over-the-air TV signals
We're at the top of a hill. There is no tree in front of the antenna. Lead in is 50 feet of coax. Channel 3 seems to be the worst and uhf almost never bothered. Mother used to have a rotor and mast amplifier and could draw a lot of channels but we get cbs,nbc, abc, fox and pbs. Not much left over the air. Vern
Re: Wind and over-the-air TV signals
I used to work in a tv sop when VHF and UHF were the normal. There were a lot of antennas out there, but we found the DB8 bow tie antennas to be the best choice for the UHF signals. The digital channels that we now get are UHF signals, so the antennas with the long arms, etc. are pretty much wasted money unless you live in an area that still has the low powered normal (VHF ) channels. I later worked in commercial 2 way radio, etc., and checking with some friends that are still in the tv business they tell me that you can buy a lot more expensive antennas, but they still cannot find anything to beat the DB8. The best part is that you can buy them for around $60 on Amazon.com.

Re: Wind and over-the-air TV signals
Too cheap for cable here too.
Makes me feel good with a good ole folded dipole. That I am line of sight to the Empire state building where the transmitters are now and was in line of sight of the WTC when that had the transmitters gives us good signals all the time. The rabbit ears in the bed rooms work well too. Since the digital TV we don't get the PBS on long Island any more. Nor do we get Philadelphia. We still get more than we can watch.

With more than 34,000 CL&P customers still without power Saturday night, many homes without heat were facing the prospect of frozen pipes. Here's some advice from Roto-Rooter, a plumbing and drain service:
If water freezes in a pipe, the Roto-Rooter website says, it will expand and crack it. Pipes in attics, garages, crawl spaces or outside walls are the most vulnerable.
To prevent a pipe from freezing:
- Fit pipes with insulation sleeves or wrapping
- Let your faucet drip during extreme cold to prevent bursting
If your pipes are already frozen:
- Turn off your water main to prevent flooding
- Research the piping layout structure in your home
- Identify the cracked pipe and replace the broken sections with insulation
- Call a plumber immediately

great cube fun funky and monkey I can solve it but not so fast I am more of a pyraminix, mirror cube kind 'of guy
The 3x3x3 Rubik's cube is a great challenge. I can solve it in a minute or less now. I learned how to solve it about a year ago, and now I can solve a 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6. Now I'm looking into buying a 7x7x7! The reason I rated it 4 of 5 stars is because the stickers wear off after lots of use.
I really like this puzzle! It is great, but you might want to lube it to turn better. If it doesn't turn great you just have to work it in.
Hard but not impossible. After learning how to solve it various ways and a lot of practice you can get into the 3-to-4 minute solve rate time. The 90-seconds quoted by someone above is extremely rare. The stickers wear off after a really long time (hundreds of hours) but the cube itself lasts and lasts. Plastic cube held together by springs. The six center pieces rotate only, all of the edge pieces slide around as you rotate any one side. It's very fun to ask someone else to mix it up, and then solve it and give it back to them to mix it up again. Once you learn the moves you prefer (there are many various ways to solve - some are faster but more complex, some are simpler but longer) you can solve anyone's Rubik. And for a mathematical challenge, the instructions are not needed - for a real pleasant challenge, try to solve it WITHOUT the book, for those so inclined.
The 3x3 cube is what got me into speed cubing. This is a delicious little puzzle. challenging beyond your wildest dreams. The stickers lose their protective covers over time, but the cube itself is great.
Hard but not impossible. I learned to solve this almost 30 years ago, and I still can do it in about 90 seconds.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Waterford — Firefighters didn't leave the site of a massive brush fire at the former landfill on Miner Lane until 8 a.m. Monday morning, a fire official said.
Goshen Fire Chief Don Chapman said Monday the fire was under control by 1:30 a.m. but crews remained at the scene to ensure that the brush wouldn't reignite.
Fire crews from four departments in town responded to the blaze, which was reported at about 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
A 50-foot-high brush pile that measured 300 feet long sent towering flames into the sky, prompting smoke complaints from residents in neighboring New London.
Chapman said three payloaders were used to separate the brush as firefighters doused the flames.
No injuries were reported, he said.
Chapman said the brush is stored at the landfill before being turned into mulch. The fire marshal was called to the scene Sunday to determine the cause of the fire.
Firefighters from Goshen, Jordan, Oswegatchie and Quaker Hill were at the scene. Tankers for Oakdale and Center Groton fire departments also responded.

MANKATO, Minn. — College student Gunnar Boettcher of Mankato, Minn., was working in the garage when he first spotted Frankenstein.
That's what he wound up calling the wild rabbit with what looks like a series of horns growing out of all parts of his head.
"We've seen it before around the house but we've never been able to get a close look," Boettcher said. "But we went over to him that day and he didn't run away like he normally does."
That's when Boettcher decided he and his brother, Zander Boettcher, needed to capture the moment and film the rabbit.
"We started filming just for us, just to be funny," he said. "Then we decided to put it on Facebook and it got a lot of views."
It's fair to say that, in addition to getting attention for the fact that it featured a 12-horned rabbit, just as many people were entertained by Boettcher himself.
Instead of using the voice of the Midwestern football player that he is, Boettcher spoke in an Australian accent, guiding viewers through what seems like a spotting of a rare, possibly dangerous specimen in the wild.
"I used to watch Steve Irwin when I was little," Boettcher said. "I was just being a goof, just for me and my brother's entertainment."
After the success of that initial Facebook posting, one of Boettcher's friends put the video on Reddit. Within four days the video received 200,000 views and 2,000 comments.
So far he's been featured on several news sites, including the Daily Mail out of London.
After some checking, Boettcher said it appears the rabbit's ailment is cancer, a form of papilloma virus that is highly contagious. He expects the rabbit won't live much longer.
As is the case with most viral videos, not all the comments have been kind. Some say it's wrong to get a few laughs from a disease that certainly will kill the animal. Others say Boettcher has a responsibility to get the rabbit some veterinary help.

Once on the fishing grounds, the 317 is more than ready for action with many standard features. Dual locking rod lockers in the bow deck handle the arsenal overnight. There are more racks under the gunwales, plus a four-rod rocket launcher on the aft edge of the fiberglass hardtop. Thick, comfortable coaming pads provide relief during long stand-up fights. Big fish can be hoisted aboard through the large transom door in the starboard corner before being deposited into one of the spacious 347-quart deck boxes. All are fully insulated and drain overboard. Fresh- and raw-water washdown systems are standard.
There's plenty of room for live bait too. A 50-gallon well behind the helm handles most of the load, but if you carry different baits, a second 30-gallon well is ready on the transom. The transom also incorporates a bench seat that stows flush when not needed. Aggressive nonskid provides sure footing on wet decks, and you don't have to worry about tripping over anything either. The deck is flush except for the raised bow compartments, although a walkway between gives access to the large anchor locker.
The Tarpon's console is absolutely gigantic and includes a mounting panel that accommodates even the largest displays. A factory-installed Garmin electronics array is an option. This boat also has the Todd helm-seat upgrade, which is a convertible stand-up bolster or flip-down seat. Sight lines from the helm are unrestricted either way, and the hardtop offers plenty of welcome shade. The extra-tall compartment inside holds an electric porcelain head and also offers easy access to the helm wiring.
Price savings does not mean cost-cutting with the new Stamas line. Each boat is built using hand-laid fiberglass construction with premium materials and components. The boats are backed by a seven-year limited warranty. Stainless-steel pop-up cleats and through-hulls above the waterline are matched with bronze through-hulls below. Careful attention to the fit and finish is evident throughout. Each boat comes standard with a hardtop, an electric head, a 20-amp battery charger, fuel/water separators, hydraulic trim tabs, and a windlass with rode, chain, and anchor. Notable options include powder coating on the hardtop, a spotlight, an outrigger package and bow filler cushions.
All U.S. sales are being handled from the factory showroom, now located at the Port Thunder Marina facility in St. Petersburg. Trade-ins are welcome and financing is also available. If you've always dreamed of owning a Stamas, the new 317 Tarpon is a great way to jump-start your personal boating legacy.

Cabrera wins AL Player of the Week
Slugger had 12 hits, eight RBIs in making Tigers history
DETROIT -- When Miguel Cabrera talked in the offseason and in Spring Training about the changes he made in his life, he wasn't talking of this kind of impact. But a week into the season, he's in one of those grooves where everything he hits is seemingly hit hard.
Major League Baseball noticed, which is why Cabrera earned the first American League Player of the Week award of the 2010 season.
Cabera hit an AL-best .522 (12-for-23) over the Tigers' first six games, a stretch in which the Tigers' 5-1 record marked their best start since 2006. That included two game-changing home runs at Kansas City -- one of them a solo shot with two outs and two strikes in the ninth inning to tie the game April 7, the other a two-run homer to pull Detroit ahead a day later in the eighth inning.
Not since Hall of Famer Harry Heilmann in 1923 had a Tigers player posted eight hits and seven RBIs through the first three games of a season, but that's how Cabrera left Kansas City. He came home to Detroit to see the Indians hold him in check for two games before he reached base six times in Sunday's series finale. With three hits and three walks, Cabrera became the first Tigers player to reach base safely six times in a nine-inning game since Carlos Pena in 2004.
"The means the work you do in Spring Training, it was something good that you were doing," Cabrera said Monday. "Because when the season starts, you were ready."
Essentially, he has carried over the hitting tear he had when the Tigers left Spring Training. His feats in the final week of camp included two tape-measure homers against the Orioles in Sarasota, Fla.
He hit those homers so far that his teammates joked that he might've hit his own car in the parking lot. He didn't have that impact distance-wise in Kansas City, but he had that kind of impact on the games.
"I've said all along that when he masters not giving at-bats away, there's no telling what he can do," manager Jim Leyland said last Thursday.
Fittingly, that has been one of Cabrera's points going into the season.
"You don't want to throw away at-bats," Cabrera said. "You don't want to throw away games. You want to be right on track and swinging the bat really well. You have to focus every at-bat. That's what I hope I can continue."
If Cabrera wanted a way to put last year's end-of-season troubles behind him, that was it. He received a strong ovation from fans when he was introduced at the Tigers' home opener last Friday, and the cheers have continued.
If he can keep up this start, he'll be hard to ignore on a national spotlight.
Cabrera becomes the first member of the Tigers to win Player of the Week honors since 2008. Cabrera won the last of those, too, on July 21 of that year. Detroit's national honors last season were both monthly -- Justin Verlander, as the Pitcher of the Month, and Rick Porcello as the Rookie of the Month. Both came in May.

For Rodriguez, the question was whether or not the league's biggest star would be able to co-exist with fellow superstar Derek Jeter.
For Sheffield, it was whether he could survive in the Yankees' team-first, professional atmosphere without saying the wrong thing.
For Vazquez, people wondered whether this small-market hurler could thrive under the big lights of Yankee Stadium after pitching in Montreal for his entire career.
All three players answered the bell, each putting a together a solid first half, earning a trip to the All-Star Game.
"It's been an adjustment for all of us, and to make the All-Star Game in an adjustment year is pretty impressive," said Rodriguez. "I still think a lot of us are going to get better as the year goes on."
Rodriguez was elected to start at third base, while Sheffield and Vazquez were voted on to the team by their fellow players. This is the eighth All-Star appearance for both A-Rod and Sheffield, while Vazquez is making his All-Star debut. They are joined on the AL roster by five of their teammates, including Tom Gordon, another first-year Yankee.
"There are only so many positions to fill up," Sheffield said. "To have this many guys form our team in one All-Star Game, I didn't think it could happen."
Sheffield hasn't encountered any of the problems in New York that he had in any of the other five cities in which he has played, as he has gotten along with teammates, front office and the media just swimmingly. Sheffield has now represented five organizations in the All-Star Game, the only player ever to do that.
"It just proves that I wasn't always to blame," Sheffield said with a smile. "I just keep coming out and playing the only way I know how to play."
That has been good for a .302 average, 16 homers and 59 RBIs, as Sheffield has been considered by many to be the team's first-half MVP. Having played in several other places, Sheffield wasn't worried about melting under the white-hot spotlight of the Big Apple.
"It's what you make it. A lot of people look at the situation as being bigger than it is," Sheffield said. "Yeah, there's pressure playing in New York, and we have a boss who is determined to win, who wants excellence. But if you start worrying about those things on the field, it will affect you. I just look at it like, 'I have a job to do.'"
That is the same approach that Vazquez has taken in his first season in pinstripes, simply doing the same things that he did while pitching for the Expos.
"It was never a question for me whether I could pitch in New York," Vazquez said. "Pitching in the American League was harder for me than adjusting to New York. Getting to know all of the hitters was the biggest challenge."
Vazquez, who was named as Tim Hudson's replacement on the AL team, is 10-5 with a 3.56 ERA in 18 starts this season.
"I am usually a slow starter, but I had a better first half this year than I did in the past. This offense doesn't hurt, either," Vazquez said. "I did a pretty good job in the first half, but I can still do a better job in the second half."
Like his teammates, A-Rod believes that while his first half was solid, there is room for improvement. Rodriguez, the 2003 AL MVP, is hitting .270 with 22 homers and 58 RBIs, and he has made a flawless transition from shortstop to third base. He is on pace for 41 homers, which would make him the first Yankee right-hander since Joe DiMaggio in 1937 to hit 40 in a season.
"I'm doing OK," Rodriguez said. "The Stadium is a great place to hit, and it's fair in terms of home runs. If you hit it well, it will go. I've always enjoyed hitting there, because it's the best background in baseball. It just has a good feel."
Sheffield, Rodriguez and Vazquez may be relative newcomers in the Yankee universe, but hearing them talk about this season, you'd think they had been born with pinstripes on.
"I haven't seen us play our best baseball yet," said Sheffield, disregarding New York's baseball-best 55-31 record. "I know we're seven games up, but one through nine, we're all capable of doing better. Once we play to our abilities, you'll see our true team."
"We have a very impressive team, but more importantly, a team filled with professionals who respect the game," Rodriguez added. "We're never satisfied, and we won't stop until our mission is over in October. There is still room for improvement."

By L.V. Anderson
The Washington Post
On "Smitten Kitchen," her 5-year-old food blog, Deb Perelman often writes about cooking recipes from cookbooks and other blogs. Even when she adjusts ingredients or methods, Perelman is punctilious about crediting her sources - recipe titles on the blog are often followed by lines like "Adapted from several places, but my favorite version is Alton Brown's," "Inspired by the Tasting Table Test Kitchens," and "Recipe adapted from Ottolenghi's stunning new dream of a book." (That would be London-based chef Yotam Ottolenghi's "Jerusalem: A Cookbook.")
When she set out to write her own cookbook, though, Perelman decided borrowing wouldn't fly. "I wanted it to be mine and mine alone," she says of "The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook," which has spent nine weeks on the New York Times best-seller list since its release at the end of October.
So how does a food blogger who has an enormous following but "who never trained as a chef or even worked in a restaurant" (as the Times Dining section tsk-tsked last month) set about creating an original recipe? Food writing, and particularly recipe writing, can feel like proof positive of the axiom that there's nothing new under the sun. But Perelman's enthusiasm for trying new things is matched only by her perfectionist nature. Here's how she invented the plum poppy seed muffins that ended up gracing Pages 12 and 13 of "The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook."
First came an overarching muffin philosophy: Muffins are not cake. "I have a lot of opinions about breakfast baked goods. And I feel like although muffins are pretty much cake that we pretend is OK to eat for breakfast, I insist that this good is on the breakfast side of the line, I feel like it should have breakfast ingredients in it and it should be lower in sugar and . . . it shouldn't be as buttery as a cake."
Based on this philosophy, and years of baking experience, Perelman already had a vague muffin formula. "I've been making muffins since I was like in high school," she said. (I count 10 muffin recipes on "Smitten Kitchen," plus several other quick breads.) "There's only so many ways to make muffins."
She began rattling off the basic formula off the top of her head: For a dozen muffins, you'll need 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/3 to 3/4 cup sugar, 2/3 to 1 cup milk or yogurt, 5 to 8 tablespoons of oil or butter, and an egg, plus baking powder and/or baking soda, depending on how acidic that dairy is. Then Perelman began extemporizing: You can replace some of the oil and sugar with mashed banana, and the milk or yogurt with fruit juice. "You might want a sturdier muffin or a richer muffin, you might add another egg or an extra egg yolk. You might want to have a fluffier muffin and you'll do two egg whites and whip it up," she mentioned. "You can change everything. But I feel like those are the numbers that I come back to more and more."
Despite knowing how to make basic muffins in her sleep, and how to achieve variations with subtle tweaks to her formula, Perelman wanted her muffin recipe in "The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook" to be new and exciting. "Let's not just make blueberry muffins," she said, "unless I'm doing something with blueberry muffins that nobody in the history of mankind has ever done before, and the likelihood of that in this day and age is not very good."
Her first idea - in keeping with the muffins-are-breakfast theme - was a yogurt and granola muffin. "I thought, what a great idea, these are your breakfast cornerstones," she recalls. For the first version she tested, she stirred leftover homemade granola and diced pears into the batter, which contained yogurt instead of milk. "I tried it a few different ways. I think I had honey in there as a sweetener, because you know yogurt and honey is so nice together, and it just was not . . . " She trailed off. Despite multiple testing efforts - including one with the granola sprinkled on top of the muffins like streusel - granola muffins got the axe. The granola always got chewy, reaching a texture she called "weirdly unpleasant." She also realized granola muffins were too complicated for her purposes. "You'd have to start with already-made granola, and so you either would have to buy it or you would have to have already made it, and that's ridiculous. . . . I really like to work from whole ingredients."
By the time granola muffins had been declared dead, pear season had given way to orange season. "All these beautiful oranges appear in grocery stores in December and January. You've got pink ones and orange and yellowish, so I used segments from a bunch of rainbow-colored oranges and I tried to make an orange and yogurt muffin," Perelman recalled. She segmented each orange, cut them into 1-inch pieces, and folded them into her basic batter. The results looked stunning. "It was like the most beautiful thing in the entire world," Perelman sighed. The taste? Not so good. The oranges reacted strangely with the leavener, resulting in a weird flavor, and they lost their juiciness in the baking process, too. Perelman kept the pictures but ditched the recipe.
After the gorgeous orange muffins, Perelman's memory gets hazy. She knows there were seven rounds of testing total; she knows they were all breakfast-appropriate and didn't call for any hard-to-find ingredients. But the open-endedness of the task at hand wasn't helping. "I was losing my focus as I was working on the muffin, because I just knew I wanted a great muffin but I didn't have any more rules," she said.
It was already late summer when Perelman had a breakthrough moment. "I ended up just being in your average coffee shop/deli-type place one morning getting my coffee, and I saw this basket of lemon poppy seed muffins. And I was like, 'Why are we always putting lemon and poppy seed together?' . . . It just seemed random to me that they're always tied together and people never think of poppy seeds without lemons." She had recently been enjoying New York's annual bounty of plums - particularly the oblong variety known as prune plums. "I associate them with Central and Eastern European cookery a little bit, as I do poppy seeds." She added those two ingredients to a batter containing browned butter and a little cinnamon and nutmeg. "And I ended up loving it," she said, adding, "I know, it's the longest story ever."
All that remained was writing the recipe in Perelman's typically detailed, chatty style. Perelman thinks recipes should tell you absolutely everything you might wonder about while in the kitchen. A good recipe, per Perelman, is one that an absolute novice can cook in the same way the person who wrote it did. "Anything else is making it unnecessarily difficult for new cooks. Why would you want to alienate a potential half of your audience?" she asked. "Also, I can't tell you how often I'm making a recipe and I'm like, 'Is the batter supposed to be this runny; is it supposed to be this thick?' I tend to make really thick muffin batters." (It prevents fruit from sinking to the bottom of the pan.) "So I like to tell people, 'This batter's going to be really thick, almost like cookie dough.' I.e. 'If this is what yours looks like, don't freak out, you did it correctly.' "
As someone who cooks frequently and writes recipes, I was heartened to learn that Perelman's approach jibes pretty well with my own. There are few dishes that can't be varied - and eventually morph into something new - using the same approach Perelman took to find her muffin recipe: Find a basic formula or technique that works, then start playing around with the specifics. Once you realize you can substitute plums for blueberries in muffins - or for that matter, shrimp for chicken in a stir-fry, or sweet potatoes for butternut squash in soup - developing original recipes doesn't seem so daunting. When the results disappoint, they're usually at least still edible. And when they don't, you get bragging rights.
Herewith, the muffin recipe that took several months to nail down, as it appears in "The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook":
Plum Poppy Seed Muffins
Yield: 12 standard muffins
6 tablespoons (3 ounces or 85 grams) unsalted butter, melted and browned and cooled, plus butter for muffin cups
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (50 grams) packed dark or light brown sugar
3/4 cup (180 grams) sour cream or a rich, full-fat plain yogurt
1/2 cup (60 grams) whole-wheat flour
1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon table salt
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons (20 grams) poppy seeds
2 cups pitted and diced plums, from about 3/4 pound (340 grams) Italian prune plums (though any plum variety will do)
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Butter 12 muffin cups.
Whisk the egg with both sugars in the bottom of a large bowl. Stir in the melted butter, then the sour cream. In a separate bowl, mix together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and poppy seeds, and then stir them into the sour-cream mixture until it is just combined and still a bit lumpy. Fold in the plums.
Divide batter among prepared muffin cups. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the tops are golden and a tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Rest muffins in the pan on a cooling rack for 2 minutes, then remove them from the tin to cool them completely.
Cooking Note
You don't create seven muffin recipes in a year without learning a few things.
I found that you could dial back the sugar in most recipes quite a bit and not miss much (though, if you find that you do, a dusting of powdered sugar or a powdered-sugar- lemon- juice glaze works well here); that a little whole-wheat flour went a long way to keep muffins squarely in the breakfast department; that you can almost always replace sour cream with buttermilk or yogurt, but I like sour cream best. Thick batters - batters almost like cookie dough - keep fruit from sinking, and the best muffins have more fruit inside than seems, well, seemly. And, finally, in almost any muffin recipe, olive oil can replace butter, but people like you more when you use butter - and if you brown that butter first, you might have trouble getting them to leave.

Clarisonic Customer Reviewspoor quality - 8/27/2014 6:34:22 PM I am really not sure that it is real because there are a lot of defects on the body and it looks really cheap. I don't wanna return it unless I can prove my thought. Just remind skinstore.com could check products before send them to customers.- 8/12/2014 7:15:58 AM Just bought the Clarisonic charger. Was on sale so that was good. Received very quickly.Mia 2 - 8/6/2014 6:56:37 AM I can't start my day off w/out using this! Why hadn't I purchased this years ago?? Absolutely love my Mia 2! A bit of an investment, but so incredibly worth it!!!Mia is Wonderful - 8/3/2014 4:31:07 PM My face really feels clean and soft when I've finished cleansing. Love how it holds the charge and the fact I can use it in the shower, Priceless!!Cleansing with Luxury - 7/22/2014 4:21:08 AM Been using my clarisonic for 5 years & love it. However, this luxe brush brings cleansing to a a new level, a luxurious one. I have very thin, delicate skin & this new brush just glides over my face. Love the feeling & still performs getting my face super clean. Will only buy this brush from now onSad to be unsatified with this purchase - 7/12/2014 9:21:45 PM So sad this didn't work out for me. I have a mia and the sonicare toothbrush and I love both of those. For the cost this did not do a great job. I'm barefoot or in sandals most of the time so my feet get your average callouses. I used it one time and didn't notice much difference. The lotions are awesome but those are not worth the price of the device that's terrible. Poor battery life too.Super-glue the attachments! - 6/26/2014 11:24:58 PM I got so annoyed when brushing my back and it unscrewed right off. So, I super-glued the hanle's attachments parts together (in between the screw part of course, not to the Clarisonic haha), and then, it's been a bliss ever after :D So, my advice is, yes, buy it if you have a Clarisonic Plus that you also want to use for body scrubbing. Just, buy some super-glue too, and you'll be much happier!Love it Love it Love it - 6/26/2014 8:23:52 AM The woman who did my most recent facial recommend this to me and it is FANTASTIC.Amazing! - 5/11/2014 8:53:05 PM I was really skeptical at first. I have awful skin. I break out if you look at my face the wrong way. I bought the delicate brush head separate for that reason. At first, I used it once a day. I read online that you can experience break-outs so I was prepared. It wasn't as bad as expected. I have now had it for about a month and use it twice a day. My skin is CLEAR! And I mean clear. Pores are smaller, smooth, and I don't even use my acne medication. A must buy!Best Face Cleansing Product - 4/28/2014 9:00:22 AM Great value for the price. How much do you spend on those fancy face creams? This is the best thing I have bought for cleansing my face. At first I was skeptical but now after almost a month of use I cannot live without it. Definitely a noticeable difference in my skin. I also think I use less "product" on my face because of it. I am 60 and have never had great skin. Little tiny acne bumps and large pours. The little bumps are almost all gone and my pours have reduced in size. I feel like my skin has more elasticity and glows. Don't hesitate, buy this product it will save you money. Many of the reviews claimed the product died after one year of use. I would buy a new one and maybe go up a model would have to do more research.

The Clarisonic cleansing system is clinically proven to enhance the effectiveness of daily facial cleansing. Studies have shown that using the cleanser in place of a washcloth or the hands cleanses twice as much of the skin oils and impurities that can irritate the complexion and clog the pores if left in place. The powerful, yet gentle vibrations produced by the oscillating brush heads also lift away six times as much residue from makeup, leaving the skin fresh. By exfoliating as it cleanses, the Clarisonic brush even improves the absorption of the treatments and moisturizers in the other steps of your regimen, boosting the performance of topicals.
No two complexions have the exact same needs, so Clarisonic has introduced a number of different models and cleansing systems, ensuring that there is an ideal power cleanser for every person in the collection. Whether you suffer from frequent hypersensitivity, breakouts or signs of skin congestion like blackheads, Clarisonic has a cleansing solution that will help address your dermatological concerns while helping you get better results from your entire skin care regimen. The cleansers come in a variety of colors and in full and compact sizes, allowing you to select the one that suits your personal tastes and your lifestyle.

The types of fats in nuts are among very best for you, but, regrettably, any fat in excess is not such a good thing when you're dealing with heart disease.
I, too am a peanut butter addict, and I find the best way to deal with it is not to have it in the house at all, until the cravings get the best of me, then I ask for a small jar, and eat it in a day or so. If I see it looking back at me out of the cupboard, it kinda gets the best of me....
If one is serious about boosting their good cholesterol, whole grain oat foods, fish, and olive oil are the only way to go.
I have done experiments with my own blood chemistry and diet, and found that consuming "all you want" of these three foods does dramatically increase the "good" cholesterol. Nothing I have found seems to help with the "bad" cholesterol, in terms of diet alone, however.
There is a prevailing theory in medicine now that "bad" cholesterols are created by the body, out of excess blood sugar and triglycerides, and have nothing to do with diet whatsoever, but rather everything to do with metabolic disorders.
There have been recent studies which support this as well, where groups of people ate all the eggs or dairy that they wanted to, as opposed to the control group, which ate none of the eggs or dairy. There was no significant difference in blood cholesterol or triglyceride levels between the two groups. These studies have been repeated inumerable times in the last several years.
This is by no means a license to live upon a diet of eggs fried in butter, but illustrates how persistent medical myths can be, even among the most knowledgeable physicians.
Ron, you should work with your dad to help understand his blood lipid numbers, and try to develop your own "tricks" as far as what helps and what does not. I have seen people follow "low cholesterol diets" and end up with higher cholesterol levels than before, because of persistent myths like these. I'm sure you can make changes that will help. Just don't be lured into making changes for the worse, just because the person suggesting them wears a white coat.
All my best,
More prayers - anytime, anyplace!
Many of us are able to still be doing silly tractor stuff because someone with much more college class time paid attention in class.
Pay attention to the docs, but they may not understand that some things are more valuable than 'book larnin'.
Blessings to all the family
One of the few advantages of growing older is that I finally realized that I haven't made ALL the stupid mistakes! Yet!

Dora is not most high school football teams — not with Kai Thomas waiting in the wings.
Thomas stepped into a starting role in the backfield in 2012. The results were immediate and prolific. Thomas didn't only step in for former Dora running back Cody Staten, he surpassed him.
Thomas, a 5-foot-9, 155-pound senior, rushed for 2,058 yards along with 32 touchdowns for a Dora team that reached the state semifinals for the first time since 1986. He added a pair of receiving touchdowns along with a kickoff return for a score.
For his efforts, Thomas is the 2012 Eagle Elite Player of the Year.
Thomas set the tone this season with a 229-yard, three-touchdown performance against Cordova in the season opener. Against the Blue Devils, Thomas had touchdown runs of 59, 92 and 37 yards. That was just the beginning. Thomas scored at least one touchdown in all 14 games this season and rushed for at least two touchdowns in 11 games.
At first, Dora head coach Johnny Wright didn't know what to expect from the unassuming Thomas.
"The year before I got here, they didn't use him much," Wright said of Thomas. "I knew he could run. With us moving to the Wing-T, I felt his quickness would really fit in there. I wasn't sure until he put his pads on. Once he did, I knew it was the perfect offense for him."
Thomas scored seven touchdowns in the first two games alone and had 11 after a three-touchdown game against West Blocton in Week 4.
In Dora's lone regular-season loss to 5A powerhouse Muscle Shoals, Thomas scored the Bulldogs' only touchdown on a reception from quarterback Caleb May.
Muscle Shoals was the only defense to hold Thomas under 100 yards. Wright also kept the running back under the century mark in Week 9 against Carbon Hill. In that game, Thomas rushed just three times for 78 yards, scoring each time he touched the ball.
Thomas was particularly strong in the postseason, totaling 565 yards and seven touchdowns in four games. He scored two touchdowns in each of the Bulldogs' first three playoff games.
Thomas shined on both sides of the ball in Dora's third-round, road victory over Charles Henderson, catching a 33-yard touchdown pass, rushing for a 64-yard score and picking off a pair of passes on defense.
"He had so many touchdown runs this year. Whenever he broke the line of scrimmage, he had a chance to score. The Charles Henderson game stands out. He broke a couple of big plays for us. That was a huge game for the program," Wright said. "He had a big game in a big-time situation."
Thomas finished the season averaging 10.8 yards per carry. He was one of three Dora players who rushed for more than 1,000 yards this season along with May and DeMarcus Kirk.
"Kai is a quality running back. He's also a great defensive back and good at returning punts. People quit kicking to him pretty early on. He's a very quiet kid. He's the kind of kid you want as a team captain. The other guys looked up to him and the way he practiced so hard. He was a joy to coach," Wright added.

In Cheyenne mythology, dragonflies were revered for leading people to life-giving resources. The charm of this dragonfly enhancer was created by combining the texture of ribbed sterling silver with the smooth beauty of gemstones. This little creature has green magnesite wings, a lapis body, and a faceted blue turquoise tail. A white mother of pearl head and two black spinel eyes give him personality and life-like charm, and a peridot directly under the bail adds sparkle. Designer Victoria Adams hopes that this piece will bring its wearer closer to nature in true appreciation of its beauty. Enhancer measures 3" long x 2-3/8" wide and has a snap hinge bail. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.

The metaphor "levelling the playing field" crops up a lot in discussions about pre-primary education. As well it should: attendance in those programmes has been shown to improve education outcomes later on. But as this month's PISA in Focus shows, not even a steamroller can level the playing field of formal education if disadvantaged students are sidelined from the beginning.
