"*9.7 – Amazing (out of 10)"
"A30 is by no means a cheap endeavor, but in our opinion, every dollar spent is matched with high quality components, top-tier audio performance, and a level of unique style seldom seen in gaming headphones."
"*The 100 best gadgets of the Complex Decade"
"The A30s previously made it onto our Best Of Year list because of its amazing sound quality—watching movies on our iPad using the A30s was sick—and its comfort. ASTRO outfitted the A30s with extremely soft ear pads covered in some sort of felt-like material. The end result is a pair of headphones you won't mind wearing all-day."
"..the detachable boom microphone and additional in-line mic with call answer/music pause button let the A30 double as a smartphone headset."
"…as a gaming headset it was compelling and comfortable enough to use whenever we booted up our PS3 or 360."

Government shuts down ethanol plant due to poor wastewater treatment
In Thailand, the Department of Industrial Works has ordered AA Ethanol in Prachin Buri to shut down temporarily until it is able to repair its wastewater treatment system. An inspection on the system in late January showed the system was not in good working order, nor did the company provide a satisfactory response as to what it does with the 1,000 cubic meters of wastewater produced on a daily basis.

I can't help but chuckle at the state of affairs on this forum now. For years I coveted a 5Dmkii but couldn't justify getting rid of my 7D to do it. After all the 7D AF system is "light years" ahead of the antiquated 5dmkii AF system. I read hundreds of threads and posts dedicated to how bad the mkii AF system was/is. The general consensus was just giv us a 22mp (who needs more, right) 5D with a better AF system. Well Canon delivered exactly that. What's the old saying? Watch out, you might get what you asked for. I'm still amazed at the pictures a lot of you have gotten with your 5D mkii and it's antiquated AF system.
You're failing to frame things in the right context. 4 years ago all people wanted was a better AF in the 5D2, now things have changed as technology matured and new performance standards were defined.
Also, the improvement in AF (supposedly) boasted by the 6D over the 5D2 is quite undersized for today's standards and for the price of that camera with respect to other missing features compared to its older sibling.
Some years ago a Blu-Ray player was 800€, now you can have one for 80€. Selling old technology for a brand-new price tag is unacceptable. But I guess Apple fans and stockholders would probably disagree with me.
+1 ... exactly!

The NFL trade deadline always goes out with a whimper instead of a bang. Inspired by hockey and the "other football," perhaps NFL teams just need a little motivation to get in on the action.
New rule: Roster exemption for player acquired via trade
This rule would create an additional active gameday roster spot for a player that a team acquires via a trade.
Possible stipulations:
- Transactions including draft picks are ineligible unless the value of the players is determined to be greater than the value of the picks. Teams are already more than willing to deal draft picks. This rule change is to fabricate some of the trading-day frenzies that generate fan interest in other sports.
- Transactions completed after a certain date are ineligible. This would create a 'soft' trade deadline, presumably at some point between minicamps and the end of the pre-season, when the NFL isn't generating much conversation in the sports world.
- No more than 2 transactions may be considered for this exemption. This would discourage teams from abusive trading.
- For a transaction to be eligible, players both sent and received must be designated as eligible by their respective teams. This would help ensure that teams use the rule to acquire players they are actually interested in, rather than just moving players around to move them around.
An additional, active roster spot gives coaches and managers a little extra wiggle room come game day. It could open the door for a little extra strategy, or simply offer peace of mind regarding depth.
This rule creates an extra job for NFL players. By making the affected roster spot an active one, the player would accrue real game experience and encourage teams to put extra thought into related roster moves instead of trading simply for the sake of trading.
Though many of the players that would benefit from this change would be under-the-radar depth players, it would still create an extra layer of excitement and intrigue for fans heavily invested in their teams. Player trades are interesting (ask a fan of any other sport) and a way to keep interest in the NFL up during off-times.
The league
With talks of expanding the regular season schedule to include additional games, teams and the NFLPA will want expanded rosters to go along with that. By creating an extra, conditional roster spot, this rule would be a baby-step towards that end, and could be instituted right away.
Moving is extremely disruptive, and would put additional strain on the personal lives of players. Life can be difficult enough for fringe players as it is. Just ask Ross Ventrone, who was, "hired, promoted, or fired by the New England Patriots no fewer than 29 times in two years."
Could cross a line between fantasy and reality. Would encourage trading for the sake of trading, albeit with checks and balances.
With free agency working the way it does there's less motivation for NFL teams to go out of their way to participate in player trades than compared to many other leagues, where players rarely hit the open market. Do you have any ideas about how to nudge teams towards shaking things up a little bit, or don't you think it's really an issue?
Feel free to throw out other ideas you may have. Player safety has been a hot button topic. Do you think it would make sense to force players to wear pads? Maybe you think the quarterback coddling has gotten out of hand? Something like 50% of a quarterback's surface area is off-limits for hitting now. Personally, I think most of the safety rules are working but occasionally get irritated with how the referee's interpret and enforce them. It's difficult to tell if a hit is legal or malicious in the heat of the moment.
I would like to see changes to kick-offs. If reducing the number of kicks returned also reduces injuries significantly then they can't really roll them back to the way they used to be, but as they are currently it's just a waste of time -commercial break, kicker boots it and returner downs it in the end zone, commercial break. It's ten minutes of downtime that zaps my interest in the broadcast. If someone has an idea that would revolutionize special teams, please share it!

By LaToya Boyce - email & Sharon Smith - bio l email
CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - A retired priest who served at several parishes in the Catholic Diocese of Charlotte and is facing sex abuse allegations turned himself into authorities Thursday afternoon.
Michael Joseph Kelleher, 82, turned himself into the Magistrate's Office in Stanly County where he was served for indecent liberties with a child.
He was given a $5,000 bond and was released after posting bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on August 8th.
Kelleher is accused of molesting a 14-year-old boy in 1977.
"We have a solid case," said Albemarle Police Chief Ronnie Michael.
Despite a lack of physical evidence, Michael said both sides are cooperating, which has helped the investigation.
Through a message board set up to help abuse victims cope, the victim wrote that Kelleher molested him repeatedly in the rectory.
The victim said he felt guilty about coming forward, but also wants the priest to pay for the alleged crimes.
He came forward to police in September. Michael says a short time later, his department notified the Diocese.
David Hains, a spokesperson for the Catholic Diocese of Charlotte, said church officials did not immediately place Kelleher on administrative leave until they knew more facts about the case.
Seth Langson, an attorney with Karro, Sellers & Langson, is representing the victim. Langson, declined comment on this case, but did represent another victim who helped convict another former Charlotte priest.
Langson won a million dollar settlement from the Diocese of Charlotte in that case. Robert Yurgel is now serving time in prison.
Kelleher has served at several parishes across the area including St. Patrick in Charlotte (1966), Our Lady of the Annunciation in Albemarle (1973), Our Lady of the Assumption in Charlotte (1977) and Saint Dorothy in Lincolnton (1998). He retired in July of 1999. (Click here to see the list of parishes where Kelleher served.)
Currently, Kelleher is the chaplain at Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School in Kernersville which is located near Winston-Salem. The Diocese has placed him on administrative leave pending an investigation into the allegations.
A statement posted on the website for the Catholic Diocese of Charlotte said church officials are "...cooperating fully with the investigation by the authorities" and is conducting its own investigation.
The Diocese also said it "...has a commitment to providing a safe environment for all people, especially the young and vulnerable."
In response to the allegations against Kelleher, Peter Isely with the group SNAP (The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests), released the following statement on Wednesday:
The Charlotte diocese claims the alleged abuse happened "years ago". It's disturbing that, whenever a brave victim comes forward, Catholic officials stress how long ago the crimes happened. This is a bald-faced effort to distance themselves from the horror of child sexual assault, and lull parishioners and the public into believing that a dangerous predator is somehow less dangerous because of the mere passage of time. Instead of routinely practicing this 'damage control,' Catholic officials should be reminding people that child predators rarely stop molesting and, in fact, often get more shrewd and cunning and effective over time, because they learn how to better pick kids who can't tell or won't be believed and how to better 'explain away' their suspicious behavior.

Drexel University Summer Institutes
Drexel's Freshman Frontiers program allows students to gain a global perspective
and an international education from the very beginning of their college experience.
Students spend their first term studying abroad with a Drexel partner school,
taking courses that apply to their majors as well as participating in co-curricular
activities that enhance their cultural understanding.
Qualified students may apply to spend their first term at Drexel studying at the Dublin Business School (DBS) in Dublin, Ireland. DBS, located in the heart of Dublin, is Ireland's largest private university and a Foundation for International Education (FIE) partner school. FIE is a London-based nonprofit educational organization and Drexel's longstanding associate for Study Abroad programs in Dublin, Ireland; London, England; and Amman, Jordan. By going abroad during the first term of their freshman year, students gain a greater global perspective that helps to shape and enhance the rest of their Drexel experiences, and that may lead to additional Study Abroad, co-op, or international co-op opportunities.
Students who are U.S. citizens do not need a visa for this 15-week program, but they must have a valid passport for the duration of their stay in Ireland. Students leave around Labor Day and return in mid-December.
For a list of eligible majors, please see the "How to Apply" section of this site.
If you have questions about the Freshman Frontiers program, please contact the Office of Admissions at firstname.lastname@example.com or 215-895-2400.
Freshman Frontiers students earn 20 Drexel credits while in Dublin. Courses are approved by Drexel advisors according to the required freshman year sequence. All students are required to take the Irish Life and Culture course and one other pre-selected course together. The grades that students earn appear on their transcripts as Drexel coursework.
Drexel students can choose from the following courses at DBS, depending on their majors (subject to change):
To supplement their studies, students participate in excursions linked to the Irish Life and Culture course, as well as a series of "mobile seminars," opportunities for civic engagement, and two weekend trips. FIE provides a calendar of activities, clubs, societies, and sports teams in which students may participate, and students are encouraged to get involved with organizations and clubs at DBS to meet local students. There is also free time for personal travel around Ireland and to nearby European countries.
A current Drexel student studying in Dublin during the fall term will be available as a resource and serve as an additional connection to the Drexel community.
Read about the Freshman Frontiers student life experience in Dublin through Drexel student Ethan Bresnahan's blog, which he maintained weekly during the fall of 2013 as part of his coursework. "The things that we take away from this experience are things that we could never have learned by walking through Drexel's University City Campus: the appreciation for other cultures, learning the ways of a city, embracing the practices of a country, all things that take a great leap of faith and yet have such a great reward."
Students are housed in shared apartment-style residence halls with FIE resident assistants, freshman students from other U.S. colleges and universities participating in similar programs, and Irish students. While the building is co-ed, individual apartments are not, and Drexel students are housed together. The residences are owned by FIE, and although they are not on campus, they are within easy walking distance. Public transportation is also available to and from campus.
Apartments consist of three to four single bedrooms with a sink, shared bathroom, and shared living, dining, and kitchen areas. The apartments are fully furnished (students need to supply their own linens), and the kitchens are equipped with utensils, such as cookware, silverware, and dishes. Each bedroom has private study facilities with non-wireless internet.
Each apartment has a kitchen, and students are responsible for their own meals. Groceries (estimated at $100 a week) should be included when planning monthly budgets.
The legal drinking age in Ireland is 18. As such, students are permitted to responsibly drink alcohol while in Ireland and are expected to abide by Drexel University's Alcohol Policy and the alcohol laws of the Republic of Ireland. Students found in violation of the University's policy or Irish law are subject to discipline.
Students participating in the Freshman Frontiers program are enrolled as Drexel students and pay Drexel tuition plus a program and housing fee of $7,000–$9,000. A $250 security deposit is held by Drexel in case of damage to housing. Tuition includes classes, co-curricular activities, access to DBS facilities, two trips, and orientation. Tuition does not include passport fees, round-trip transatlantic airfare, food, a phone, textbooks, optional field excursions, independent travel and expenses, or copier charges incurred at the workstation facility at DBS.
Students should plan to have a monthly budget of $700–$1,200 for personal expenses such as food, transportation, independent travel, and books. The estimated cost of textbooks is $300.
Students are required to have U.S. health insurance through a parent or guardian or through Drexel's student plan. Additionally, students are covered by supplemental international medical insurance through Endsleigh Insurance Group, the cost of which is included in the program and housing fee.
The Freshman Frontiers enrollment deposit, payable by check or money order, is $500 and is applied to the program and housing fee. Students must separately submit their $300 tuition and $200 housing deposits through the Discover Drexel portal following the freshman instructions.
Although students are responsible for buying their own round-trip plane tickets, there is a suggested itinerary. There will be a recommended flight departing from Philadelphia; however, students may choose to fly from the airport nearest to their homes. All students will be met at the Dublin Airport by FIE staff.
Upon arrival at the airport in Dublin, students must register with the Garda — the national police of Ireland. The estimated fee to register is $450. This is the only Irish fee or paperwork necessary.
All Drexel financial aid awarded to a student is applicable to the Freshman Frontiers program. Those students eligible for Federal Work-Study may apply for the Online Journalist work-study position through the Study Abroad Office.
Every student accepted to the program is automatically considered for the Freshman Frontiers Scholarship. This $1,000 scholarship is applied to tuition and is renewable each year, provided that the student is enrolled in a full-time undergraduate day program and maintains a 2.75 GPA. Students who are awarded this scholarship will be notified.
Additionally, students can apply for the Sharif Rahman Memorial Scholarship through FIE. Visit the FIE Scholarship page for more information about the scholarship, application instructions, and deadlines.
We are still accepting applications for this program. Please submit all materials as soon as possible.
The application and letter of recommendation for the Freshman Frontiers program are due by March 1, 2014. Applicants will receive an official decision by April 1, 2014. Accepted students who wish to enroll must submit the Freshman Frontiers enrollment form and a $500 deposit by May 1, 2014, along with their $300 Drexel tuition deposit and the $200 Drexel housing deposit (if applicable). Participants are guaranteed on-campus housing when they return to Drexel for the winter and spring terms. Freshman Frontiers participants submit their housing applications following the freshman directions by May 15.
Students who do not already have a passport should submit the passport application at least eight weeks before departure — no later than mid-June.
All Freshman Frontiers participants attend the same New Student Orientation at Drexel in July. Students will have the opportunity to meet each other and receive important pre-departure information during a special Freshman Frontiers session.
Students participate in a comprehensive orientation session upon their arrival in Dublin, led by FIE's program director. Orientation includes a group airport pick-up, lunch at DBS, a welcome dinner, a bus tour of Dublin, and a welcome lecture covering topics such as health and safety, life in Dublin, and an introduction to the college. There is also a daylong seaside excursion to help students get to know each other.
In order to transition back to Drexel's campus, students take part in a re-entry program organized by the Student Affairs and Study Abroad offices. The program begins at the end of the fall term in Dublin and continues into the winter term when students arrive on Drexel's campus.
The following majors are eligible to participate in the Freshman Frontiers: First Term in Dublin program:
College of Arts and Sciences
LeBow College of Business
Center for Hospitality and Sport Management
Students must be at least 17 by the time they arrive in Dublin. In addition to the age requirement, students applying to the program should have a demonstrated high level of academic ability, independence, maturity, intellectual motivation, and cultural curiosity. Freshman Frontiers is best suited for students who will use this opportunity to enhance the rest of their collegiate careers and to help accomplish academic and professional goals.
Note: Before applying to the Freshman Frontiers program, you should submit your application for admission to Drexel University.
You may apply to the program before you receive a University admission decision. Interested students must submit the Freshman Frontiers application, including an essay and an additional letter of recommendation, by March 1, 2014.
Because the number of seats is limited, the Freshman Frontiers program is competitive, and the application process is selective. Your response to the essay question and the letter of recommendation are both very important components in the selection process.
Submit application materials via:
Note: When submitting materials via email or fax, please be sure to include Freshman Frontiers, your name, and your Drexel student ID in the subject line or on the cover page.

A salute to country music legend Eddy Arnold from some unlikely musicians who are young enough to be his grandsons is making one Nashville project unique.
The sounds that came with an Arnold song made his records unmistakable for eight decades, but Music Row producer Cheetah Chrome doesn't want it to stop there.
"His voice was just amazing. He could sing any song, and he really had good taste in picking songs. And he really wrote good songs," Chrome said.
The country crooner's tunes weren't quite the songs Chrome was singing in the 1970s as he performed on stage in New York with his punk rock band the Dead Boys.
But, 40 years later, he's enamored with Arnold.
Now available on Plowboy Records, the album You Don't Know Me: Rediscovering Eddy Arnold gives new life to Arnold's songs in tribute form from some unlikely artists.
The idea is that good music lives on, and Jason Ringenberg from the Scorchers or Bobby Bare Jr. prove it with their takes on Arnold originals.
"Doing my research for the project, I had to immerse myself in Eddy Arnold's stuff, and I'm glad I did. It's just amazing," Chrome said.
It's high praise from the one-time punk rocker still doing today what he was doing back then - only, this time, it's with Eddy Arnold.
"Playing music that I love and having fun," Chrome said.

RALEIGH — Triangle residents will get three chances this week to see a documentary film about coastal development and climate change that the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences declined to show last fall.
Environmentalists said that the museums decision not to screen Shored Up was political, since the museum is funded by the state and conservative lawmakers have been hostile to climate change science.
Museum officials responded that the documentary was simply not a full enough look at the issues and noted that the topic was hardly something they were squeamish about. The museum has exhibits examining climate change and sea-level science.
Now people can decide about the film for themselves. N.C. State University will screen it Wednesday night at the Hunt Library as part of a presentation on the North Carolina coast and climate change that will include a panel discussion.
Then, on Thursday night, there will be two screenings in Durham at the Full Frame Theater, sponsored by the environmental group The N.C. Coastal Federation. There also will be a panel discussion after the second showing that night.
Nathan Freeman, coordinator of NCSUs masters degree program on Society and Climate Change, proposed bringing the documentary to campus after viewing it online courtesy of its distributor.
Freeman said the film offers an array of viewpoints to illuminate issues about coastal development and climate change that are too complex to be viewed from just two sides. It goes well beyond the sort of simplistic approaches of some other films about climate change and was the kind of intelligent approach to the topic that he had been looking forward to for years, he said.
The conversation about climate change has been inarticulate to abysmal, he said. This film, though, is like climate change 2.0. It brings in all these points of view and allows a basis for a real conversation.
One thing its not, he said, is the sort of polemic popularized by liberal icon Michael Moore.
The director, Ben Kalina, will be on the panel at both events.
The documentary explores examples from post-Hurricane Sandy New Jersey and North Carolina. Kalina said in an interview that when he started filming that he had expected to contrast the two places, in part because New Jersey had long allowed construction of terminal groins man-made structures that are supposed to protect coastal property while North Carolina had historically barred them from the ocean side of its barrier islands.
Film explores N.C. issues
As he was filming, though, North Carolina lawmakers began considering allowing groins. They also proposed a law to restrict the use of scientific models for sea-level predictions in guiding state policy on development. Many climate change experts ridiculed that as bad science, and it was mocked on The Colbert Report. The film explores those issues.
Kalina said he hadnt expected to be banned by a museum.
I tried really hard to make a film that wasnt about finding heroes and villains, just saying this is whats going on in our environmental, how were seeing sea level rise and how were dealing with it, he said.
On the other hand, Kalina said, it probably shouldnt be surprising that issues surrounding the film became politicized because this state is where some of the most vigorous current debate over these issues is taking place.
Museum officials maintain that the decision was about how best to present a complex issue. Asked about the decision, a spokeswoman reissued a formal statement the museums director, Emlyn Koster, originally released in November.
In part, it said: For contemporary issues that connect science with societal innovations and environmental stewardship, the most constructive role for this museum is to be an engaging venue with multiple resources and views. It would be a disservice to the people of North Carolina who generously funded the construction of the Museum, and who are joined by other visitors from all other U.S. states and numerous other countries, if we were to maintain that showing one organizations film constituted a comprehensive approach to an issue as significant and complex as sea level science.
Another entity of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the state aquarium at Fort Fisher, showed the film, as did UNC-Wilmington.

Lighting designer and theatre consultant Nananne Porcher died on Sunday, June 17, of cancer, at the age of 78.
Born in 1922, in La Grange, GA, she studied at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and also with legendary lighting designer Jean Rosenthal. In the early part of her career, she worked as stage manager and technical director for the Martha Graham and José Limon dance companies, as well as New York City Ballet. In addition she worked as touring lighting designer and technical director of City Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, and Jerome Robbins company Ballets: U.S.A. According to her obituary in The New York Times, she is thought to have been the first American stage manager to work on programs at the Paris Opera, Rome Opera, and La Scala in Milan.
As designer, many credits include a ballet version of Jean Genet's The Maids (New York Ballet Theatre Workshop, 1957), Sylvia (ABT, 1964) Agon (ABT, 1965), Peter and the Wolf (ABT, 1966), Giselle (ABT, 1966), The Combat (ABT, 1966), the world premiere of Samuel Barber's Antony and Cleopatra, which opened the new Metropolitan Opera House in 1966, La Sylphide (ABT, 1966), the Broadway musical Ari (1971), Paquita (ABT, 1971), the world premiere of Beatrix Cenci (Opera Society of Washington, DC, 1971), the musical Prettybelle, which closed out of town in 1971, Diana and Acteon (ABT, 1973), the Scott Joplin opera Treemonisha (Broadway, 1974), the musical Robert and Elizabeth (Paper Mill Playhouse, 1982). Other productions included La Fille Mal Gardee (ABT) and Die Todt Stadt at New York City Opera. The latter was part of a close collaboration with opera director Frank Corsaro on productions that blended scenery, lighting, and projections.
She was perhaps best known as a theatre consultant, whose projects included the Carolina Theatre at the North Carolina School for the Arts and the George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, NJ. In 1975 She became president of Jean Rosenthal Associates in 1976; working with her longtime companion, Marion Kinsella, she consulted on both new theatres and renovations, and for unusual projects such as the lighting of Niagara Falls. She also received an honorary doctorate from the North Carolina School of the Arts in 1980.
She is survived by Ms. Kinsella.

Instead of frozen bread dough I used fresh wheat dough. Absolutely delicious, the flavor in this is incredible!!
Reviewed Mar. 16, 2008
This is so good we have to double the recipe so we can have left overs. We cook it on pizza stones until the crust is crisp. The gargonzola is a great accent, but don't overdue it, a little goes a long way.

MT. VERNON – Mt. Vernon Township High School has received an offer to purchase the parking areas adjacent to Building G on campus.
School officials are not revealing the source of the $300,000 offer, but the issue was discussed briefly at Monday night's meeting of the school board's Building Committee. This is the first purchase offer the district has received for its property.
"It would appear to be a reasonable number based on our appraisal," said Superintendent Michael Smith.
The district intends to sell some or all of its buildings on campus to help pay for the $72.8 million new school project.
Now that the offer has been received, school officials will follow up with the potential buyer to talk over deadlines and other issues.
Also on Monday, the Building Committee heard a detailed presentation on the state of the new school project from architect Greg Brown of FGM Architects.
At this point, the project has progressed beyond the design development phase and has moved into the construction documents phase. Bidding is still set for October.
Brown pointed out that the project is currently about $1 million over-budget. Even so, ongoing reductions are being made to get the estimated costs in line by the time bids are received.
"We want to be as close on bid day as we possibly can," Brown said. "We hope to get good bids, a lot of bidders, and that the market stays stable."
The cost total was higher, but planners reduced the size of the gymnasium, saving around $750,000, Brown said. Instead of the original plan of 2,030 seats, there will now be 1,920.
In addition Monday, the MVTHS Board of Education held a special meeting and the board's Finance Committee met.
Other actions included:
n Discussion of the proposal to name the new MVTHS theater after the Schweinfurth Foundation. Schweinfurth plans to contribute to the new theater and is seeking lifetime naming rights for the building. The board will likely vote on this issue next Monday.
n Hearing of a presentation on how the $19.8 million bond referendum for the new school project will be repaid.
n Discussion of the process to name a replacement for Cynthia Davis, who stepped down from the board last month. Letters of interest will be accepted until Friday and the board will conduct interviews in closed session June 20.

The terrorists would have their way, and then we could blame Obama for being lax on terrorism. Works for me. He's such a creampuff tyrant. Goes to excessive lengths to surveil the US public, and then cries foul when we blame him for being so weak on terrorists. Its great to be a Republican, because you're always right and Obama is always wrong.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - President Barack Obama has issued a formal endorsement of Democrat Cory Booker in New Jersey's special U.S. Senate race.
In a statement released Wednesday by Booker's campaign, Obama said Booker will be "an important partner in our efforts to reduce gun violence, give every American a fair shot in a global economy, and make our country stronger."
Booker said he is humbled by the endorsement. If elected in a special election Oct. 16, he said he will go to the Senate to "advance our shared vision of a nation where opportunity is available to anyone willing to work for it."
Booker, now Newark's mayor, faces former Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan. Lonegan was endorsed Tuesday by Gov. Chris Christie.
Lonegan said the endorsement is no surprise. He said Booker is a "rubber stamp for the Obama agenda."

Sky Lake swamp has a bunch of \Cypress trees, but only a few big ones. It would have had a bunch more except for logging back in the 1930s extracted most of them. This one was left, probably because most of the top of it was blown out by an ancient tornado. But what was left would build six typical size houses. And it was declared the champion tree for a while. And this is the tree I came to do a story about nearly 20 years ago. There had been an extensive enough drought back then that this area was dry and you could walk around on it. And while we were exploring the swamp after getting our pictures of the big tree, we stumbled up on this hollow giant. Again probably not cut because it was hollow. All of us out exploring the swamp that day easily fit inside the tree with room enough for more.
Well now, there is a beautiful boardwalk out across Sky Lake swamp that allows you to get to the big trees even in typical conditions, like when there IS water in here, like now. Mark Simmons says this is something he's look forward to for a long time.
Mark Simmons: After many years of my dreams and all and the airing it got on WLBT and other news media, the Mississippi Wildlife expressed and interest in it. They purchased I think it's 783 acres of the big trees and the land around them which includes a big portion of Sky Lake.
Walt: A friend of mine, Billy Thomas from Brandon was along when we went to see the boardwalk. Billy sees the big trees, and the whole area, in a very personal way.
Billy Thomas: It seems that I hear God whisper to me, I did that just for you. Just that one scene. Just that one view. No one else has ever been right there at that time and looked at that the way I saw it. And when I came down and saw this tree it was just like God said, I did that just for you.
Walt: And I guess he did. And for all of us. And it's nice that the boardwalk is there so you can see the tress without having to wait for another drought to be able to get back in here to where they are.

"We loved the game drives but the experiences with the people were the ones that really touched our whole family. Being with the Maasai was so special and so different and they were incredibly welcoming. It felt so unique and adventurous to be with the Bushmen. The school that we visited was amazing. The children were adorable and curious. Experiencing and sharing all of this as a family was wonderful." - Eisner Family

Seeing the animals was a bigger treat than I'd imagined – so many, and moving so freely and serenely in their home environments. But beyond that, the interactions with Tanzanians were immensely moving and informative, including with our driver. I feel 100% confident that I could not have picked a better group for our son's African adventure.

Big retail investors bought nearly 2,15,000 shares in Britannia Industries between December 2011 and June 2012. This increased their stake from 3.33 per cent to 3.51 per cent. Small retail investors, meanwhile, sold around 1,50,000 shares and reduced their holding in the company. The stock gained 17.1 per cent in this period, beating the market.
This is not an isolated instance. There have been many cases over the past two quarters of big retail investors buying and selling differently than the small investors and gaining in the process.
Different sector bets
The two sets of investors differed in the sectors they preferred. In all, in 16 of the 62 sectors, big and small individual investors acted differently.
For instance, big retail increased its stake in diamond, gems and jewellery companies from 8.5 per cent in December to 9.3 per cent in June. Small investors, on the other hand, pared their holding in these companies from 10.4 per cent to 10 per cent.
Titan Industries and Gitanjali Gems are some of the jewellery companies that saw big individual investors increase their stake and small investors pare theirs. With the sector's market cap having risen by around 22 per cent between December and June, the big investors seem to have bet right.
Similarly, in the construction sector, while the big investors increased their share from 1.5 per cent to 1.6 per cent, small retail made for the exit and reduced its stake from 12.3 per cent to 11.5 per cent. This pattern was seen in companies such as JP Associates and Punj Lloyd.
The sector's market capitalisation has grown almost 38 per cent during December 2011 to June 2012. Again, large retail investors got it right.
There are also cases such as the edible oil sector where large individual investors reduced stake from 3.5 per cent to 2.6 per cent while small individuals increased their holding from 7.6 per cent to 8.3 per cent. The reduction in large retail stake in Agro Tech Foods from almost 14 per cent in December to 8.2 per cent in June is a case in point. The sector's market cap increased by only a marginal 0.5 per cent over the past two quarters.
Big investors hold less
But overall, holdings of large retail investors in CNX 500 companies stood at 1.9 per cent of the outstanding market value by end June 2012. Small retail investors held a much larger chunk of the shares at 6.7 per cent. This is only slightly different from the shareholding pattern almost five years back during the market peak of December 2007. At that point, large retail shareholders held 1.7 per cent stake and small investors 6.8 per cent in the outstanding market capitalisation of Indian companies. Big retail investors are those individuals who invested over Rs 1 lakh in a company's stock.

CATEGORIES Animation, Comedy, Awards, Shorts, Exhibition, The Weinstein Co., Family Films, Weinstein Brothers, Movie Marketing, Movies, Awards, CinematicalIn a move that will bring unusual exposure to a non-Pixar piece of Oscar nominated animation, the Weinstein Company has announced that Blur Studios' Gopher Broke will be showing around the country with Doogal, which opens today. Nominated for the Best Animated Short Oscar has year, Gopher Broke "is a stylish toon about a hungry gopher who devises a madcap scheme that he hopes will provide him with a tasty snack," and will be provided a very posh on-screen introduction by Dame Judi Dench. Not coincidentally, Blur recently announced their intentions to expand the short into a feature, due out in 2007.
While the Weinsteins are surely motivated by an agreement with Blur that brings them a nice pile of cash, given the lukewarm reviews Doogal received in Europe (where it was called The Magic Roundabout), it might not be worth it to put something of high quality in such close proximity to the movie. Why give audiences something to compare it to?

Professor David Reiss discussed new mortgage plans being implemented by local governments across the country in a recent op-ed for the National Law Journal. He supports the proposals, which restructure "underwater" mortgages, calling them "constitutional, beneficial, and administratively feasible." The financial industry at large, however, fears that this kind of restructuring at the local level will cause a collapse.Professor Reiss explains that local governments have every right as a result of eminent domain to try to stabilize their communities in such a way. "The bottom line is that preventing mass foreclosures, with its implications for halting blight, keeping property tax rolls healthy and maintaining vibrant communities, is an obviously legitimate public purpose that is consistent with the relevant Supreme Court precedent."Read the full article.

Notes: Vets ready with advice for Hamels
Gordon, Lidle, Myers remember their first days in the big leagues
PHILADELPHIA -- Several Phillies veterans are ready to dispense some sage advice to rookie left-hander Cole Hamels, if he wants it. Hamels is set to make his much-anticipated Major League debut on Friday in Cincinnati. It's enough to bring back some memories for pitchers Cory Lidle, Brett Myers and Tom "Flash" Gordon on what their debuts were like and what suggestions they'd make to Hamels."It's an exciting time for any professional ballplayer," said Gordon, who's among the National League leaders in saves with 10. "For any player that gets the call up, you want to tell them to relax. The other big thing is reminding them who they are and to stay confident. But telling [that to] someone just up is a lot easier said than done. I remember when I was first up [with Kansas City in September 1988] and kept telling myself to relax, relax. There's really no way you can. You just have to go out there and do what you've done to get you here." Lidle concurred. The right-handed starter made his debut with the New York Mets against the Houston Astros on May 8, 1998. Lidle was asked to come in from the bullpen to face the heart of the Houston order, including Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell. He learned a quick lesson on his first pitch. "For me, I was very nervous," Lidle said. "When they called my name from the bullpen, I had to come in and face Biggio. He fouled off my first Major League pitch. And then I thought to myself, 'I make good pitches, I can get this guy out.' You have to give a certain amount of respect to Major League hitters, of course, but you also have to try to convince yourself that you belong. It's the more mental part of the game someone like Cole will have to be aware of. I remember my whole first year in the Majors, not just my first outing. You're hyped up, you're excited. You try not to overthrow, because that's when you get in trouble. "Cole wasn't just given this job, he's earned it, based on being successful at every level he's played. I can have some insights, but I'm a firm believer in not meddling, or stepping on someone else's toes. Cole's been successful doing what he's done; I would tell him not to change anything. Hey, getting a Triple-A hitter out isn't much different than getting a Major Leaguer out. I'll talk to anyone about pitching, but I'd prefer them to come to me. I'll always be there to help, but on their terms." Myers had one of the more auspicious debuts in Phillies history. The right-hander, who's established himself as the Phillies' No. 1 starter this season, went eight strong innings and gave up just two hits and one earned run in beating the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on July 24, 2002. At the time, Myers was the fifth Major League pitcher in 30 years to have pitched eight innings or more and allow two hits or less in his Major League debut. Myers said he would tell Hamels to "do what he's done in Triple-A, and he'll be fine."
"He didn't study those hitters there," Myers continued. "He might face the Reds one more time. It's the teams in your division that you have to concentrate on more and keep them guessing. It doesn't matter what people say about you, you've got to go pitch. You can make those people look smart, or you can make them look stupid. We're ready to start another nine-game winning streak. [Cole] knows what to do. He knows his body. He's just going to have to not let the hype get to him and go out there and pitch like he knows how to pitch."Geary sent down: After Thursday's game, the Phillies optioned relief pitcher Geoff Geary to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre to make room on the roster for Hamels. The right-handed relief pitcher appeared in 16 games and pitched 20 1/3 innings, posting a 3.98 ERA.
Geary has an option left, allowing the Phillies to send him down. The other possibility was right-handed reliever Julio Santana, who would have had to go through waivers.
Madson's role: With the insertion of Hamels into the starting rotation, Phils manager Charlie Manuel opted to move Ryan Madson back to the bullpen, where he performed well in a setup role the last two seasons. Manuel, however, did not rule out the possibility of Madson returning to the starting rotation later this season."I like to give a guy what I consider a chance," Manuel said. "I would have seen him get more starts. Somewhere down the road, [Madson] might get another chance. This game changes all the time, that's why you don't make promises. I think he will get a chance to be a starter again. I worry about chemistry in the clubhouse, but I think if a guy gets upset for a little while, he gets over it because he's a professional and he knows he's got a job to do. If you're a winning player, I think all those things will work out. I don't feel like [Madson] failed at all. He makes the bullpen better than Gavin [Floyd] would because of his experience and Floyd's been a starter his whole career." Coming up: The Phillies will travel to Cincinnati for a three-game weekend set, unveiling Hamels in Friday's opener. The Reds entered play Thursday holding a half-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals atop the National League Central Division, with a 22-12 mark. The Phillies enter the series among the hottest teams in the National League, winning nine of their last 10 games entering Thursday's series finale against the New York Mets.

Senior starter Reginald Harris, along with eighth-grade foward Isaac Chatman and sophomore forward Mykelti Chatman have been a stable force for the program this season in each of their roles. Whether guarding some of the top scoring threats in the state, or relieving starters who are in foul trouble or need a breather, all three players have earned the confidence of the coaches and teammates by providing clutch play in critical situations, where momentum can shift on a timely steal or second-chance shot.
Reginald Harris, senior
A veteran member of the Tornadoes' squad, Reginald Harris has played in every game since head coach Heath Burns arrival during the 2011-12 season and helped guide Parrish to three Northwest Region Tournament appearances.
Regarded as one the top defenders in the state, Harris began his career with the Tornadoes as a dynamic scoring threat during his freshman year. However, his true love was playing defense — where his natural skills of forcing turnovers and disrupting the play of opposing offensive players helped evolve him into a multi-purpose player and a catalyst in Parrish's trademark transition offense.
The results have been crucial — this season, Harris has recorded 111 steals, 50 assists, forced 67 turnovers and averages eight points a game. His performance against Belgreen's three-point threat Chase Landers in the Northwest Region Championship game — who scored 32 points against Sumiton Christian in the semi-finals — was considered his defensive masterpiece after holding Landers to just four points and 0-13 from three-point range.
"Reggie may not get stats that stand out on a box score sheet, but what he does for our program is an integral part of our success," Burns said. "He scores because of the way he plays defense. He may hit the occasional three-point basket or a perimeter shot, but his ability to guard the opposing team's best guard is outstanding. We saw it in the Belgreen game and what it meant — without his play, we wouldn't beat them. Reggie's so unselfish to take on that role that it might hurt him in the overall stats, but he's not worried about those things. He's just a wonderful young and I wouldn't want anyone else out guarding an offense threat like he does."
Reginald's brother Jermichael, who has played alongside him for the past four seasons, said Reginald's competitive nature that developed during childhood has been a driving force for shaping him into a stellar defender.
"Reggie's always been extremely competitive — he's small, but he's very fast and that makes him so good on defense," Jermichael said. "He doesn't like his opponents to get the best of him. But through it all, the thing that stands out is his composure. He's got a great attitude and his character makes him an even better player."
Reflecting on his performances this year in key games, Reginald said the confidence he has received from his coaches and teammates has been a cornerstone in motivating to play at his best.
"Coach Burns has a gameplan for each opponent — when he assigns me to a player, he trusts me to keep that person guarded," Reginald said. "We all do our jobs out on the court, without each of us doing what we can on defense, we wouldn't be playing for a state title."
Issac Chatman, eighth grade
Last season, Isaac Chatman saw limited time as one of the Tornadoes' backup players, making few appearances when the team was in command of the game by a large margin.
As a 6-4 seventh-grader, he was gifted with a natural ability to not only find the basket, but grab rebounds and alter offensive shots.
A year and an inch later, Chatman has evolved into one of Parrish's most pivotal bench players, prominently called into action when Jermichael Harris, Denzell Daley or Reginald Harris has to step off the court.
He hasn't disappointed when taking to the court. Seeing action in all of Parrish's 30 games this year, Isaac is second on the team in rebounds (224) and blocks (60). He's contributed to the offensive effort with 7.5 points per game.
Burns stated that Isaac's versatility makes him a valuable asset to his team and commended his maturity and presence on the court.
"Isaac can replace a big or a smaller guy — to be an eighth grader and play at the level he does is fascinating," Burns said. "He could easily leave high school basketball as one of most highly touted guys to come out of the state of Alabama — he's that talented. He provides a great spark for us when he comes off the bench and he's got starting experience from the beginning of this year that had helped him grow into an even better player. You just can't replace the depth that he brings to us on both sides of the ball."
Jermichael Harris, who Isaac relieves in critical situations, said the growth from the eighth grader has been amazing.
"Isaac is a great guy — he's an excellent role player and strives to get better every week," Harris said. "He always comes into the game ready to give it his all and has worked hard to help us get to this point. We're all proud of the way that he has grown both on and off the court.
Mykelti Chatman, sophomore
In his first year with the Tornadoes, Mykelti Chatman has evolved into a capable backup to starter Barry Hill. At 6-6, with plenty of muscle thanks to significant time in the weight room, Mykelti emerged as a natural post player with his tendency to grab tough rebounds and make contested shots close to the basket.
As the season progresses, his ability to grab rebounds excelled, recording double-digit rebounding games in seven contests — including a career-high 17 boards against Brilliant.
His 217 rebounds and 60 blocked shots both rank third on the team — key when Hill has exited the court.
Hill quickly singled out Mykelti's play after Tuesday's semi-final win over Sunshine, where the sophomore came off the bench to quickly score five points, grab four rebounds and record two steals in the first half of play. Hill said practices between the two are intense and has resulted in better development for both players.
"He's a great player — we work each other hard at practices. Everything he does is great, not only for him, but for all of us on the team," Hill said. "He takes rebounds, blocks shots and puts up points when we need it. He's continuing to grow every day — and growth is something he wants to continue to do."
Burns stated that he's never seen the type of progression that Mykelti has made since stepping onto the court at the beginning of the year.
"We always knew that Mykelti had the potential to be a great player, now he's showing it," Burns said. "To do what he did against Sunshine who has three- and four-star players, in the biggest game of his young career, he held his own. He has been the key in this playoff run, as you can look and see that in every game, he's made a critical play. I can't be more proud more of a guy who comes to work and puts forth the effort he does. His ceiling, like his brother Isaac, is extremely high and he's going to be a tremendous player for us in the years to come."

Select Route:
This is a very obvious big face and left facing corner system just across from the Pinnacle parking area. The slab, just to the left of the corner, is quite remarkable looking. There are a few routes listed, but lots of variations exist. In the winter, the west face itself has been climbed as a mixed route. Beware the lack of anchors at the top of the face. You will see where someone chopped them in the past. A rappel can be made from a tree on a ledge at the top. The standard Pinnacle descent can be used as well.
Getting There
Use the approach as described for North Cheyenne Canyon. From the parking area, 0.85 miles past the beginning of the canyon, you will see the west face in front of you. Walk west or to the right for a few yards from the pullout. The corner will come into view. A trail is located in the trees, behind another pullout, that gives access to a gully that scrambles up the base of the climbs.
