The Lions might be without QB Matthew Stafford for the foreseeable future, but it doesn't look like their fantasy situation will be affected.
With a shoulder injury in Week Nine possibly ending Stafford's season, Shaun Hill re-entered the starting lineup Sunday at Buffalo and proceeded to put up solid numbers in a narrow defeat. Hill threw for 323 yards with one TD and one interception, the veteran's third 300-yard outing of the season. Considering the respectable stats he has posted as a starter, he could be a fairly dependable option for the remainder of 2010.
More importantly, though, is the game had by WR Calvin Johnson. After being held to one reception last week, Megatron bounced back with 10 catches for 128 yards and a score, proving again that he doesn't need Stafford to be effective. Johnson now has nine TD grabs and has three 100-yard games in his last four contests. He remains one of fantasy's elite receivers.
Detroit's other two productive targets also had decent days. TE Brandon Pettigrew (4-50-0) and WR Nate Burleson (4-47-0) shouldn't lose much, if any, value with Hill playing. The only thing that has been suffering on the Lions' offense is the running game, as Jahvid Best hasn't done much statistically since Week Two. But from an aerial standpoint, the Lions should be just fine with Hill running the show.

Latest Firefox Version: 6.0
Most designers and developers use Firebug constantly in Firefox, but what some people still don't know is that there is a lite version of Firebug called Firebug Lite for IE, Opera, and Safari.
Even though it's limited, it still has the same look and feel.
If you want to know more about Firebug, check out the Fireday review of Firebug or check out the Firebug web site.
It's back! The 2008 Web Survey from A List Apart is back and is ready for data.
After a huge response last year of over 30,000 people taking the survey, it resulted in knowing what kinds of job titles, salaries, and work situations are common in our field.
This survey is geared towards designers, developers, data architects, project managers, writers, editors, marketers, and everyone else who makes websites.
Designers are using baseline, or "reset," style sheets more and more to clear out the existing settings of default styles in the browsers to create a more uniform way of designing web pages.
After looking at some recent polls about "Which CSS Reset do you use?", I thought about this in a different way.
Recently, I've been working on a project where I wanted all OL/UL tags to display a certain way throughout the entire pages, but at one section, I need the tags to display normally as if the CSS wasn't there.
Code and Coffee (love that name) collected a great list of free stock icons for your next application that provide exceptional value because:
I even used the famous famfamfam stock icons located on the left under categories.
One thing designers and developers don't like to do is document, but Leah Buley has created a quick way to get a point across on one page, or more appropriately, called IA One Sheeters.
The IA One Sheeters provided are Wireframes, Heuristic Evaluation, and Usability Testing. Since she started building the first three, see if you can create your own for your own business.
The site A List Apart released their first annual 2007 Web Design Survey and want you to be a part of it.
They are offering a chance to win an Apple 30GB iPod, an Event Apart Jump Drive, or a A List Apart T-Shirt. Results will be reported on their site in the future.
Hurry, though. Their survey will only be available until May 22, 2007.
For most of the design community, Adobe's Photoshop has always been there for you. You create your layered graphics and export it to your site and everything is well and good.
But now, there is a new face on the scene.
GIMP is a raster graphics program that can easily replace MS Paint. But can it replace Photoshop? I'll leave that argument to the GrimThing.com. They've posted an article about who would win in the battle between GIMP and Photoshop.
You have stars in your eyes, right? You want the title, you want the prestige, oh..and you probably want the money? Making a transition from a worker to a manager is difficult and, trust me, it may not be greener on the other side.
Erin Malone was promoted from a designer to a manager and now that she's a manager, she's made some interesting realizations. Her article, "So you think you want to be a manager?", is right on target and recommend reading it before taking that managerial position.
I've been there before and I'm not envious. :-)

Andy Budd found the most complete collection of Interface Design Quotes on the web.
An excellent source of inspiration for most designers.
What would you say if someone called you this morning and asked you to write up a quote for a blog for their business?
Would you freeze or would you quote a price similar to what Pearsonified charges?
In the article, Chris Pearson discusses why a blog can be expensive and talks about how much should a design cost?

TAFT, Calif. (AP) - The sheriff of Kern County, Calif., says a 16-year-old student shot at a high school in rural Taft is in critical but stable condition. Sheriff Donny Youngblood says the shooter is a student who walked into a class at Taft Union High School Thursday morning and shot the teen with a shotgun, and then fired at another student but missed. A teacher suffered a minor pellet wound to the head. Youngblood says the teacher tried to get other students out a back door, then he and another staff member engaged the shooter in conversation to distract him, and convinced him to put down the gun.
TAFT, Calif. (AP) - Officials say a student has been taken into custody following a shooting at a high school in California's San Joaquin Valley. One student was shot and wounded about 9 a.m. at Taft Union High School, about 120 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Kern County Sheriff's Department spokesman Ray Pruitt says the injured student was flown to a hospital in Bakersfield. There was no immediate word on the victim's condition. Pruitt said the suspect is a student, and a shotgun was used in the attack. Kern County Fire Department Eric Coughran told KBAK-TV that another person suffered some type of injuries in the incident but refused medical attention. KERO-TV Bakersfield reported that the station received phone calls from people inside the school who hid in closets.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

After the average Divine Intervention, and the covers album Undisputed Attitude, Slayer realized that they wanted to do something a little bit differently on this release with the excellent Rick Rubin. By adding downtuned guitars, thick grooves, and great songwriting, Slayer slows down (a little) and shows why they are easily one of the greatest metal bands on the planet. Even with the moments of faux-rapping on Love to Hate and Stain of Mind, this is far—very far from nu-metal. This is still angry thrash with loads of ripping guitar solos. Instant classics include Bitter Peace, Overt Enemy, Stain of Mind, and Scrum. This is a MUST purchase for fans of Reign In Blood, South of Heaven, and Seasons In The Abyss.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
I dont understand why this is voted as their worst….their worst album is Undisputed Attitude
this is everything Slayer….a celebration of war, perversion, and violence. the best songs being Point, Screaming From The Sky, Death's Head, and Bitter Peace.
First off, to the other reviewers of this album, who call themselves "long-time slayer fans", need to take a step back and reread their reviews. These reviews are not of a slayer fan. This album is as good as any other Slayer album. You have to understand where they are coming from. Slayer are so diverse, they can write slow, sludged out songs. They can also write fast, shredding songs with lyrics about murder and satan. My favorites off of this album are Point, In the name of god, Death's head, Stain of mind, Overt enemy, and Screaming from the sky.
I just got into Slayer about a year ago, but since then I've gotten into them with a vengeance. I've had the privilege of being able to listen to all of their albums in a very short period of time, and out of Slayer's albums I would rank "Diabolus In Musica" right at the top. This album somehow manages to sound even more sinister than their previous work, with a really dark and foreboding mood to the songs. The bass is a little more evident here than on Slayer's previous work, which is a good thing as Tom Araya's crunching bass notes add another dimension to the music. Vocally, Araya relies more on a somewhat screamed sound as opposed to the mix of singing and growling that was found on albums like "South of Heaven" and "Seasons in the Abyss." The grinding, sludgy guitars and Paul Bostaph's astonishingly nimble drumming give this album a dark groove that sets it apart from Slayer's older works while simultaneously paving the way for last month's somewhat similar release "God Hates us All." Standouts include the very catchy "Love to Hate," the speedy "Point," and the chunky and heavy "Screaming From the Sky." This album boasts an excellent array of styles, with Slayer's rock solid musicianship still in place.
I have been a Slayer fan before Reign in Blood broke all the rules regarding thrash, ferocity, and brutality. South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss remain masterpieces, worthy of continued praise. Than along comes Diabolus in Musica! Many "so called" die-hard Slayer fans complained the band comprised its roots by aiming this disc towards nu-metal fans. A veteran band like Slayer can't re-cycle music that shows a regression in ability. They needed to re-invent themselves, while not alienating thier fan base. Diabolus is Slayer! Powerfull, heavy as hell, brutal, and dare I say, they have incorporated some "groove". They have not comprised any of the savage approach that has made them the KINGS of metal. Standouts include: Bitter Piece, Stain of Mind, and Scrum. Is this their best album, I don't know, the album just kicks ASS!

The two candidates running for
Oregon mayor squared off in a debate Wednesday night.
The Oregon Chamber of
Commerce, in partnership with the Oregon Economic Development Foundation,
sponsored the debate between incumbent Michael Seferian, and challenger Thomas
Susor, the current city council president.
Susor says the city has passed
up some huge opportunities for economic development, and he doesn't want to see
that happen again.
"We don't have the quality of
life we truly need," Susor said. "I've got eight grandkids. I want my grandkids
to be happy with my community, want to stay here, want to thrive and develop
their families here. I'm a family man, this is a family community, and we need
to move in that direction."
Current Mayor Mike Seferian
says Oregon is moving in the right direction with the construction of a new
power plant, and the work BP Husky is doing.
"I really have a hard time
putting myself out there and patting myself on the back, but the achievement
that are going on and the sense of pride that people have in the community, I
think that is a stronger message than anything I can just personally tell them,"
the mayor said.

LAS VEGAS -- Las Vegas will always be known for gambling and entertainment, but the tech sector is becoming a bigger part of the economy.
Now, the first company recruited from China has moved here, and anyone who uses Apple, Windows or Amazon products could benefit.
In a world that is connected, people go crazy if their smart phones aren't charged. Now, a company calling Las Vegas home is helping iPhone users stay charged in a new way, all while charging up Nevada's economy.
Gary Lee is president and CEO of Wirelessor, a Chinese technology firm, now with a Las Vegas presence.
"Here is an iPhone 5C. Normally, we charge it through a cable," Lee said as he demonstrated the company's product, "But now you can charge on this pad. No cords, no cables."
Lee says Las Vegas was the right choice for Wirelessor.
"At first, we go to Long Beach because it is the West Coast. It is the logistic center," he said.
But there is a reason Wirelessor skipped California and chose, the Innevation Center in Las Vegas, powered by Switch Data Centers.
"We talked about Las Vegas and the benefits of doing business here," Lee said.
Tom Skancke, President and CEO of the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance, recruited Lee to Las Vegas.
"I think we were able to persuade Gary to come here and set up his North American headquarters in Las Vegas," Skancke said, "What is really exciting about this, is that this is the first company we have brought from China."
Southern Nevada is an easy sell.
"The tax climate is a lot better for them to do business. Affordability. Quality of life. The weather," Skancke said.
Lee plans to grow his company here, with warehousing, distribution and manufacturing space, ultimately hiring hundreds of employees.
He believes Wirelessor will be a winner here.
"It's very easy to carry, and you won't forget your cable anymore," Lee said.
Wirelessor says its products are extremely popular in Asia, and will soon be available for sale on Amazon.com and North American retailers for about $100.

---- — "In the Mood," the production that brings to life the music, dance and culture from 1940s America, is swinging into Boston's Cutler Majestic Theatre for a limited engagement from Nov. 19 to 24.
The show really celebrates all the service people who are sacrificing," said Creator and Producer Bud Forrest. "And not just the people overseas – those holding down the home front, too."
The musical features a live band playing more than 40 songs from the era alongside swing, jive and jitterbug dancers who will leave audiences wanting to get on their feet. However, the show is about much more than just having a good time.
"Everyone remembers a person or a place by a song," Forrest said. "It's very emotional. There is a whole part of the show that pays tribute to veterans."
In fact, the show, which has been running for 20 years, was chosen by the National Archives in Washington, D.C., to be part of the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of World War II. After that the production joined forces with the USO to play to audiences across the United States in commemoration of WWII.
"The 1940s were arguably the most significant decade of the 20th century," Forrest said. "This music was taken overseas and was the glue that held everything together. It gave the men a reason for why they were fighting."
Celebrating the country's legacy through music is especially relevant as "In The Mood" makes its first appearance in Boston, Forrest said.
"With the history of Boston and the emotions of the recent history, I think that this will be a special time to celebrate the city and the history of American music," he said.
Kids "from 8 to 88" will enjoy the show, Forrest said. The WWII generation that first loved the music and the baby boomers who grew up hearing it are at every show. However, Forrest also said he sees many teens and young adults who are into swing music and "young kids with their eyes wide open."
"A good melody is timeless," he said. "It's universal. The show is all about American music, American lyrics, and appreciating this thing we call American popular music."
If You Go What: "In the Mood." When: Tuesday to Sunday, Nov. 19 to 24. Where: Emerson Cutler Majestic Theatre, 219 Tremont St., Boston How: Tickets $25.50-$89, by visiting cutlermajestic.org, calling 617-824-8000, or visiting the box office.

At a popular mangrove edge in Charlotte Harbor, Florida, several boats are catching redfish on every toss. As they cast, I see their hard plastic plugs fly through the air, hit the water and get struck again.
"That's easy; they're eating plugs," I smugly say to myself. I pick a plug with a gold insert (an old reliable for redfish) from my box and cast into the same area amid a swarm of tailing fish, but can't get a strike to save my life. It doesn't take long for frustration to brew. Before I move from that spot, however, it would be wise to check one thing: lure color.
After casting a variety of colors at the tailing reds, I finally hook one on my third color choice, which contained a silver insert. My trip ended with tired arms because I didn't stick with the traditional favorite and give up. Instead, I kept experimenting with various colors until I found one that turned on the fish.
Can color really make the difference in fishing success - or is it just coincidence? Marine biologists who specialize in the study of sensory perception in fish conclude that colors do make a difference. Sam Gruber of the University of Miami, one of the believers, says, "Many fish have excellent color vision, probably better than ours."
H.O. Schwassman, a retired marine biologist from the University of Florida, says that after various tests and studies he believes most fish use vision as their primary sense and even see exactly as we do (as far as the visual light spectrum).
"Psychologists have trained fish to react to different colors," Schwassman says. "Many game fish react (more) to visual stimuli than to any other sense."
Gruber, known for his studies of sensory perception in sharks, says fish have better vision because they have an extra color receptor. Our three main receptors consist of red, green and blue. It is uncertain which additional color the fish see, but, he says, "It enhances their vision significantly."
Experienced guides and manufacturers also stand firm to the idea that fish see color, and pros have seen the scenario played out many times. Mark Nichols, owner of Florida's DOA lures, saw firsthand how snook can shift their visual preference.
"In Chokoloskee (in Florida's Everglades)) one day we crushed the snook on chartreuse, but the next day, same tide, we couldn't buy one on that color," says Nichols. "That day, the red-and-pearl combination was all that would work."
A variety of factors determines which lure color works best, depending on your particular region. In some areas like Florida, a checklist can get long.
Contrast plays a huge factor when predator fish hunt bait. Gruber says the fish see contrast better than color. "That's why they (the baits) have counter-shaded body styles," says Gruber. "They know when contrast is not enhanced, it hides them."
What this means to the angler is that your lure will stand out more if it contrasts with the surrounding underwater environment. That environment can be grassy, rocky, sandy, murky or clear. Manufacturers use professional guides in their natural laboratories (inshore waters) to put each one to the test before the colors go on the market.
Fish Trap Lures of California makes over 80 colors, but 15 years of trial and error keep bringing them back to the "five basics." That's the term owner Barry Brightenburg came up with to help people keep it simple.
"Sticking with a couple of colors is the key," says Brightenburg. "When people use too many colors, they get confused. So I came up with five basic color schemes in soft plastic jig tails that nearly always work: brown, blue, green, red/orange, and a darker brown, blue or green."
Everyone wants a catch-it-all lure, but according to Brightenburg, finding the right lure color requires a learning curve that makes you narrow your search through trial and error.
Tackle shops and especially national tackle outlets carry mind-boggling selections of lures. How do they decide on the colors they sell? Gordon Kroeger, purchasing agent for Captain Harry's Fishing Supply in Miami, says three elements govern selection of lure color for its catalogs.
"It's a combination of advice from manufacturers and top fishing guides and traditionally what always sells," says Kroeger. "Established inshore colors (for Florida) consist of red-and-white, black back with a silver side, blue back with a silver side and green back with a silver side."
"Sometimes just trying something different works," says Capt. Mark Bennett of Port Charlotte, Florida. "If I'm working tarpon when sight fishing, I'll use several different colors to see which works best. One guy throws pink, another throws pearl until we find what they like. I've found that water color can make the difference. The cleaner the water, the more low-key or natural. In turbid water I'll go with motor oil/root beer because it gives off a nice profile."
Plug-tossers in many areas find the best color can vary almost daily. Understanding factors such as weather, prevalent bait, water conditions and seasons can improve your productivity with artificials. Sometimes changing colors as the day progresses can increase your catch. Bachnik uses this technique in southwest Florida.
"The 'woodpecker' color - white with a red head - has been fantastic for years (for snook and trout)," he says. "The best times seem to be early morning and late afternoon. Then in the middle of the day, use a natural color, something that looks like a greenback (minnow)."
In Texas, Capt. George Knighton of Galveston loves red-and-white - for flounder, redfish and trout. "I've been using it for 27 years with great success. It's good in any water condition. The red color helps to excite the fish. If you open a tackle box at random in Texas, you will probably find that color combination more than any other."
According to Brightenburg, California anglers have historically loved the root-beer color and fished it in a scampi or similar twin-tail soft plastic baits. But just over a decade ago, with the introduction of scad-style baits, color preferences shifted to clear silver-flake bellies, which catch more fish. However, big calicos still prefer non-flashy, dull-colored lures.
Matching the prevailing bait can greatly enhance your success, according to Knighton. He says trout and redfish in Texas usually feed on shrimp or shad. Having a discerning eye that can pick up on local color patterns helps.
"When trout and reds are feeding on shrimp, shrimp usually jump at the surface," Knighton says. "When this happens, you need to be ready to switch to a shrimp-colored tail."
"Dark-colored lures silhouette better," says Al Gagliarducci of Gags Grabbers Tackle Co. in Massachusetts. His locally popular Mambo Minnows and Floating Rattling Poppers have led anglers to striped bass in the Northeast for over 20 years. He says his most effective color is olive with a silver insert and white belly because it resembles an eel.
Knighton agrees with Bachnik and others that water color and clarity also play an important role in choosing lures. Since water conditions in Texas change drastically, he has a standby for each of Texas' dark colors. "Galveston can go from 'chocolate' to emerald green, as opposed to places like Florida that can have clearer conditions," he says. "In the off-color water, go with red because it creates nice silhouettes. In lighter-colored water, try white-and-pearl."

Unfortunately, Rowling never got around to telling us why in the books.
Death Eaters
The Death Eaters and their associates during the First and Second Wizarding War.
Riddle, Tom Marvolo "Lord Voldemort", also referred to as "You-Know-Who" and "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" 31 December, 1926 - 2 May, 1998 Leader and founder of the Death Eaters in the 1970's. Killed in the Battle of Hogwarts after the destruction of his Horcruxes.
Major Death Eaters: Snape, Severus 9 January, 1960 - 1 May, 1998 Snape led to the deaths of Lily and James Potter. He was, however, a double agent for Albus Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix. Snape was ultimately killed by Lord Voldemort for the mastery of the Elder Wand, even though he was not the master. Son of Muggle Tobias Snape and witch Eileen Prince.
Lestrange, Bellatrix 1951 - 2 May, 1998 Lestrange, formerly Black, was wife to Rudolphus Lestrange, sister to Narcissa Malfoy and Andromeda Tonks, and daughter to Cygnus Black III and Druella Rosier. Lestrange, the most fanatical and devoted Death Eater, was most well-known for the crime that earned her a life sentence in Azkaban: the use of the Cruciatus Curse on Frank and Alice Longobttom. Lestrange also performed countless murders, including those of her cousin Sirius Black and neice Nymphadora Lupin (formerly Nymphadora Tonks). Lestrange participated in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, the Battle over Little Whinging, and the Battle of Hogwarts. She was killed at the latter battle by Molly Weasley while fighting alongside her master. Lestrange was honored with the entrustment of Helga Hufflepuff's Cup shortly before Lord Voldemort's first downfall.
Malfoy, Lucius born 1954 The wife of Narcissa Malfoy (formerly Black), father of Draco, grandfather to Scorpius Hyperion, and son of Abraxas. He was described as being very rich and snobby in the books, as well as being an expert in the Imperius Curse. Malfoy claimed to be under this very curse at the end of the First Wizarding War, and his story was believed by the Ministry. Malfoy was entrusted with Tom Riddle's Diary shortly before this point, and used it to reopen the Chamber of Secrets and attempt to discredit Ginny Weasley. This plan failed, however, and Malfoy was removed of the position of School Governer. Malfoy was present at the rebirth of Lord Voldemort and commanded the Death Eaters in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. He lost favor, however, in the aftermath of these events, and was pardoned for his crimes after his family's lack of participation in the Battle of Hogwarts.
Malfoy, Draco
Pettigrew, Peter "Wormtail"
Crouch Jr., Bartemius "Barty"
Macnair, Walden
Dolohov, Antonin
Rowle, Thorfinn
Selwyn, ?
Karkaroff, Igor
Black, Regulus Arcturus
Minor Death Eaters:
Associates of the Death Eaters These individuals, while associated with the Death Eaters and their agenda, were never branded with the Dark Mark and were never asked to join their ranks.
Quirrell, Quirinus died 4 June, 1992 Quirrell was partially and willingly possessed by Lord Voldemort from the summer of 1980 - 1982 and attempted to gain the Dark Lord the Phillosopher's Stone on numerous occasions.
Malfoy, Narcissa born 1995 The wife of Death Eater Lucius, mother of Death Eater Draco, and sister to Death Eater Bellatrix, she was never branded with the Dark Mark and, perhaps in foreshadowing, betrayed Lord Voldemort during the Battle of Hogwarts.
Greyback, Fenrir A werewolf and a snatcher who allied himself with the Death Eaters during the Second Wizarding War. Possibly killed by Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom, or incarcerated in Azkaban Prison for his crimes.
Scabior A member of the gang of Snatchers lead by Fenrir Greyback. Unknown if he was present at the Battle of Hogwarts, but if so, he was likely killed or incarcerated for his crimes.

View-killing windmills: Blame the politicians
What started with a small, 12-turbine project in Lempster in 2008 has turned into a run on New Hampshire's ridgelines by large energy companies that want to cover our hills with scores of windmills. Some of them would reach 400 feet tall, 125 feet taller than New Hampshire's tallest building, City Hall Plaza in Manchester. As the scarring of New Hampshire hilltops accelerates, the politicians who promoted this have a lot to answer for.
In 2007, the Democratic-controlled Legislature passed a bill sponsored by Sen. Martha Fuller Clark, D-Portsmouth, which created the state's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). Legislators mandated that at least 16 percent of the state's energy production come from new "renewable" sources such as wind power by 2025 (25 percent from all renewable sources). Suddenly, New Hampshire needed windmills.
The law has cost more than views. Public Service of New Hampshire calculates that the RPS mandate has cost it $58.3 million since 2008. It projects another $19.2 million hit in 2013 alone. Ratepayers bear that burden.
Washington shares the blame. Federal tax credits for power produced by windmills go to huge energy corporations such as Spain's Iberdrola, the company behind several New Hampshire wind farms. A recent study by the Northbridge Group of Concord, Mass., concluded that the tax subsidy "encourages wind developers to locate wind farms with little regard to consumer demand, as long as they can be placed on line and their power brought to market to collect the subsidy," the National Center for Policy Analysis reported this week.
Do-gooders trying to force us to switch from coal to wind power have encouraged the industrialization of scenic New Hampshire ridgelines. That industrialization will not stop until these perverse government incentives are removed.

Hundreds turned out to Veterans Park Sunday to march for suicide prevention.
The annual Out of the Darkness Walk raises awareness and funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Organizers say Montana has the third highest suicide rate in the nation. Many organizations joined the event to show support for those who are suffering from mental illnesses. The Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch also had staff and youth participate in the event. YBGR staff say its important for youth to participate in the walk.
"Their impulsive behavior, rejection, all the things that they're coping with and registering in the world, they need to know that there's other support and there's ways to deal with it," said Regina Demis, YBGR's director of public relations. "There's coping skills, their friends their family."
"It spreads the awareness of how suicide, what causes it, namely mental illness, and that we need to bring mental illness and treatment to mental illness out of the darkness," said Joan Nye, Out of the Darkness Walk's chair.
The walk had booths to show the various resources people can use for support. Organizers said they hope to raise $70,000 this year.

Monken, Black Knights eager to start new era
WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) When Jeff Monken arrived for his interview during Army's coaching search, he brought with him impressive credentials, an offensive mindset, and a driven determination.
He also knew exactly what to say and when to say it.
"What you will find with Jeff is that there aren't a whole lot of details that he doesn't already know the answer to," Black Knights athletic director Boo Corrigan said. "He understands what this is. He didn't come here not to win."

BATESVILLE — Dear Editor,
In today's rough economic climate, food pantries are an invaluable asset to the communities they serve.
The article in the Tuesday, July 3, issue of The Herald-Tribune, dealing with the Batesville Area Ministerial Association's Food Pantry in Batesville, mentions asking area township trustees to chip in for a new facility.
I wanted to let everyone know that Laughery Township already supports a food pantry. The Ripley County Trustees Free Food Store, located at the fairgrounds in Osgood, is a centrally located facility available for all Batesville/Laughery Township residents (This includes areas such as McNair Manor, RomWeber Flats and Village in the Woods).
By joining other townships in the county, it allows us to better leverage the available funds for bulk buying, matching donations and easier distribution.
The Free Food Store is open on the third Monday of each month from 9 a.m. to noon. Individuals are encouraged to carpool from Batesville to the fairgrounds in Osgood.
If transportation is absolutely not available, or an emergency situation arises, I can be contacted directly to arrange assistance.
Saundra Nobbe,
Laughery Township trustee

Record: 81-81. Pace: 81-81. Change: 0.
With the Diamondbacks out of the play-off race mathematically for a while, and logically for much longer, there was nothing to play for but pride and hopes of finishing a second straight season at .500. Call that average, call it mediocre, call it whatever—at least it's not a losing season. The Washington Nationals seemed willing to give this one away, sitting anyone even remotely noteworthy on their roster. No Jayson Werth. No Bryce Harper. No Ryan Zimmerman. No Ian Desmond. Instead, we got dudes with names like Stephen Lombardozzi. And, yet, Arizona still found a way to make it "exciting" and far closer than it should have been.
When the series started, the D'Backs needed to take one of the three games in order to end up 81-81. Over the last couple of days, the Nationals have made it look like that might not happen. There was still one shot left, though. Gibby decided he'd continue being a "players' manager" by having Willie Bloomquist lead off in what might be Willie's last game in Sedona Red. In another homer decision, Gibby ran Tuffy Gosewich out there as starting catcher, leaving Miguel Montero on the bench throughout and using Wil Nieves for no more than pinch hitting duties. The rest of the team, however, could be considered the A Line-up, and was facing a Nationals team that was anything but.
Wade Miley started with a bit of a shaky first inning. After getting Jeff Kobernus (who?) to fly out to center, Miley allowed a single through the left side to Anthony Rendon. The fact that former D'Back Scott Hairston was hitting in the three hole should tell you a lot about the Nationals' line-up. He lived up to expectations by popping up to Aaron Hill in shallow right field. After working a 3-1 count, Tyler Moore was able to move Rendon into scoring position with a single into center. Fortunately, Miley was able to strand both runners by getting Zach Walters to fly out to Gerardo Parra in right.
My questions about Gibby's line-up seemed silly when Bloomquist led off the bottom half of the first with a single to center field. Adam Eaton followed with a bunt to the left side of the infield. Tanner Roark made a mess of things, throwing the ball away and allowing Bloomquist to move to third and Eaton on to second. Two runners in scoring position with nobody out. Paul Goldschmidt followed with a sac fly to score Bloomquist and pad his National League RBI lead. Martin Prado would follow with a ground ball to third. For some reason still unknown to humankind, Eaton decided he'd break for third with the ball right in front of him. Not surprisingly, Walters threw to Rendon to get Eaton out. Prado ended up on first base due to the fielder's choice. Aaron Hill would end the inning with a grounder to second, but at least we had the lead!
The top of the second saw a plethora of Nationals batters with names meant to puzzle the best of spell checkers. Miley gave up a single to Lombardozzi, but was able to erase that with a 4-6-3 double play off the bat of Jhonatan Solano. Eury Perez followed with a single to center, bringing up the pitcher. With two outs, seeing the pitcher up should have been a relief. Miley did his best for that not to be so, needing eight pitches to get Roark to finally strike out and end the inning.
The game seemed to be zipping right along, but only because offensive futility was the mark of the day for both teams. It wasn't until Arizona's defense decided that the Nationals needed a bit of help that Washington's offense was able to get anything going. The likelihood of a sub-.500 season reared its ugly head in the top of the sixth. Tyler Moore hit it hard at Martin Prado. Prado was able to corral the ball, but threw wildly and Goldy wasn't able to dig the ball out. The throwing error by Prado was the second of the day by a D'Back infielder, but this one left a mark that Bloomquist's error two innings prior had not. Walters again hit a fly ball to right field. Parra charged on the ball, but was unable to get to it, allowing it to roll all the way to the right field wall. Some of the online play-by-plays indicate this was scored as an error on Parra, but others indicate errors were committed only by Bloomquist and Prado. Either way, his misplay allowed Walters to advance. Moore scored to tie the game, and Walters ended up on third base. Lombardozzi followed that up with an RBI single to left, giving the Nationals a 2-1 lead. Miley was finally able to get his team back in the dugout with a foul-out by Solano, a strike-out from Perez, and a ground-out by Roark.
The Diamondbacks tried to get it going in the bottom of the seventh. After Prado was retired, Hill was walked to end a streak of nine in a row sat down by Roark. The Nationals decided to share in the defensive futility, putting A.J. Pollock on first via a throwing error by Rendon. Parra followed that up with a single to left. Matt Williams put up the stop sign for Hill, who was unable to score even though left fielder Kobernus had difficulty getting a handle on the ball. At least bases were loaded with only one out, right? Well… Gosewich would strike out looking at one right over the heart of the plate. Nieves was sent in to pinch hit for Miley, but could only ground out to second and end the hopes of tying the game. Far too many instances of leaving the bases loaded this season, especially when runners have been in scoring position with fewer than two outs.
David Hernandez came in to pitch the eighth, and continued with his much improved performance since coming back up from Triple A. The pitching change on the part of the Nationals would not go so well, as Ryan Mattheus came in to pitch the bottom of the inning. He got Bloomquist to strike out on one in the dirt, but Eaton followed with a single to center field. After working a 3-0 count, Goldschmidt moved Eaton to 3B with a single to right. Thus, Goldy ends the season on a 19-game hitting streak. Prado followed with a single to left, scoring Eaton to even the score at 2-2. At this point, Tony Campana was sent in to run for Goldy at second. Hill's sac fly moved Campana up. Two down. Would we get the lead? Pollock said, "Hell, yes!" The go-ahead RBI came courtesy of an infield single that struck Mattheus and rolled away. Pollock was in at first on a headfirst slide, and Campana crossed the plate to make it 3-2, Arizona. Xavier Cendeno would enter to pitch, getting Parra to end the inning on a grounder to second. But we were only 3 outs away from a .500 season.
Brad Ziegler came in to do his thing, while Eric Chavez replaced Goldy at first. Ziegler got Solano out on a swinging third strike way out of the zone. Sandy Leon came in to pinch hit, and was also dismissed via the strike out. Corey Brown was then sent in as the Nationals' last hope…and ended the season with a ground out to Chavez.
The season started out with a major revamp of the team. It seemed headed for good things, with the Diamondbacks leading the division for most of the first half. There might even be play-offs in the picture, we thought, making everyone who questioned the revamp look mighty silly. Unfortunately, we came back to reality and the Dodgers remembered that they're spending lots of money to win this division. So, here we sit right where we were last September—a .500 team who is done before October. You can blame it on the injuries, you can blame it on the philosophy of the front office, you can blame it on the ridiculous amounts of money the Dodgers are able to spend. It doesn't much matter, though. Even after I stopped hoping for the play-offs, I enjoyed the hell out of this team. I hope they shore up the weaknesses, but that will inevitably mean that guys we love will get traded away and we will angrily debate the wisdom of it all once again. It's part of baseball. Just don't trade Gerardo Parra, dammit!
See y'all in Sydney next spring!

Anna Wintour joined Jessica Biel and Lupita Nyong'o at the Museum of Modern Art 2013 Film Benefit which paid tribute to Tilda Swinton in New York City yesterday evening.
The editor-in-chief of American Vogue wore a Chanel Fall 2013 Couture frock which has been Anna-ified from the runway version, as we've come to expect.
Anna's frock maintains the colourful floral print and high neckline, but loses the bolero and drop-waist feature in favour of a more streamline pencil skirt.
With such a high neckline and colourful print she decided to do away with her signature beaded necklace, plus she opted not to wear her favoured nude patent-leather Manolo Blahnik kitten heels, swapping them for a strappy nude satin sandal.
One small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind.
You may remember that just last week Diane Kruger wore the strapless version of this frock.

The Walter Payton Award is presented by the Sports Network to the most outstanding player in F.C.S. Football. North Dakota State's Brock Jensen is on the 2013 watch list.
Jensen has quarterbacked the Bison to back to back national championships. The senior is 32-5 as a starter, and he was the M.V.P. in last year's title game.
The quarterback position is a complicated one, just ask Brock's back-up, Century's Carson Wentz.
"You have to understand full concepts rather than some little here and there, and for us, Brock & I, to understand what the defense is in and make checks at the line of scrimmage for the run game. For us personally, the run game with the checking like which direction is pretty big, and we just have to understand and be a leader more than anything, because we are not going to go out there and throw fifty times a game. We just have to be precise and just move the change."
The Bison open the season at Kansas State on August 30th.

Skeet Reese is on fire, and several of the anglers in lower buckets built momentum on the Delaware that could come into play on Cayuga.
When the Shimano Live Release Boat couldn't launch on Day 1 in Philadelphia because of low tides, an unexpected bucket brigade of locals formed to help save the bass.
I can't think of a single tournament stop where I haven't met at least one person who made the trip better in some way.
B.A.S.S. Nation anglers launch their boats on the final day of the Old Milwaukee B.A.S.S. Nation Northern Divisional.
See how the adult and youth Northern Division anglers compared on Lake Monroe! (Hint: Some old dogs may need to learn new tricks!)
Despite boating only two keepers Thursday, Jesse Weener moved to the top of the pack in the Old Milwaukee B.A.S.S. Nation Northern Divisional at Lake Monroe.
At Cayuga Lake, the final of eight full-field events this season, each Elite Series pro has a shot at a first-place prize of $100,000 and an automatic qualification for the 2015 Bassmaster Classic.
Overall the Delaware River was a positive experience. But it wasn't roses and sunshine, and I resent to being told to shut up about it.

text: It is excellent that EIU promotes the value of teaching in business schools, and our good colleagues who are finalists are surely all deserved and worthy to receive the prize. It is also understandable from a practical point of view that EIU would choose to evaluate faculty on the basis of delivering a lecture. However, it is also conservative and counter-productive if the goal is to improve learning at B-schools: If EUI and the Economist want to promote the initiative of faculty members to create a better learning experiences in B-schools, then they should reward the use of innovative teaching and learning methods that place the locus of learning, the initiative, the energy, and the responsibility for learning with the students -- individually, as teams and collectively.

A 50-year-old homeless man was arrested for stabbing another homeless man after they ran out of beer.
Douglas William Warden has been charged with aggravated assault following an incident in the 400 block of S. 6th St. on Saturday.
The victim walked into the lobby of the Temple Police Department at 9:45 p.m. Saturday night, and reported that he had been stabbed. He told police that he was homeless and living in a vacant building with other homeless people.
Police were told the victim and Warden had been drinking beer. The victim went to sleep after all of the beer was gone. Warden woke the victim and asked him if there was any beer left.
Warden is accused of stabbing the victim after he told Warden there was no more beer left. The victim was transported to Scott and White Hospital and released after being treated for his injuries.
Warden was located later that evening by officers. Police say he was arrested after a short struggle, in which he resisted as officers tried to take him into custody. A knife, believed to be the weapon used in the stabbing, was located on the scene.
The case was reviewed by the Bell County District Attorney's Office and they issued a complaint charging Warden with aggravated assault.
