He is freakishly hard, but he is definitely awesome. I've taken in a lot from the course. I love class discussions and participation; it forces me to think outside of the box. His lectures may seem to go astray sometimes, but it will tie right back into the lesson, which keeps me interested. Hard class but well worth it. READ!
english 3550
This class was not very fun to take. It is a two semester class with physics in it. The amount of work they give is ridiculous and they expect you to have read a book in a weeks time. I managed to get a B but it was not an interesting class.
Davis is hands-down one of the best. Students expecting their education to be handed to them don't like him. Neither do students who balk at critical thinking or teachers that question their answers. Davis isn't questioning to make you feel dumb, he's questioning cause he's curious, & he wants you to think through things. Would take class again.
Engl 3150
I have taken a few classes with Davis. He is really out there with his lectures. He seems to be making it up as he goes along and relies on class comments to keep going. He can make people feel stupid and unworthy of being in his classroom.
At the beginning of the semester, I felt totally lost & was sure I was going to fail the class. But after I started going to his office hrs, Dr. Davis really took the time to help me succeed in the class. I passed with a B+ and came out a stronger writer and I'm so glad I took 3150 with him!
Dr. Davis was an ok instructor. This was his first time teaching 3150 so we were his guinea pigs. It wasn't a bad class, but was a little more intense than I expected. Reading/papers not spread out. Not enough time to absorb all the material. Tests, quizzes were tough. I got B's on my papers, but because of the quizzes/tests, I wound up with a C+.
I have never been so uncomfortable with one of my professors before. His shirt is always unbuttoned so you can see his chest... I am looking forward to never taking a class with this professor ever again. How is he the department chair?? Class is overall ok, kinda boring and Davis tries to act "cool." The book is a must for this class.
Quizzes were sometimes tricky. You need to read! The class was boring but it gets fun when you perform a skit & do the poem recitation. It isn't that easy of a class, but Dr. Davis is kinda hot & has interesting things to say.
Dr.Davis was one of my favorite professors this semester! You need to attend class because he will give you random quizzes at any time but usually they are open notes. I really learned a lot from him and loved taking his class!
This class really stretched me to write at a higher level than I was used to. Profesor Davis is excited about his passion for the written word. Long class but worth it.
In my opinion he is an arrogant bore. His class was frustrating and not fulfilling. Getting a good grade is based on jumping through his hoops and writing to his own beliefs and convictions. It doesn't matter how well you support your thesis-if he doesn't agree with your ideas, he will penalize you. Very unprofessional.
I was really looking forward to this class, regardless of who taught it; however, I really began to feel lost within all the reading material, and in his prompts for the writing assignments (very confusing). I usually do very well in English courses, but I felt as if my best was not good enough for this professor.
He wants you to say he is intelligent. That fuels his teaching "method." He doesn't allow you to disagree with him. & will tell you that you didn't write to the prompt if you disagree with him. He flirts (etc.) with his students, which is a bit unfair to the males if you ask me.
Hmmm...nice enough guy. Very intelligent; however, didn't succeed in getting the class interested in the course (multicultural American lit). Flexible assignments. Lectures are a bore and have no relevance to future work. No tests--hard to stay motivated. 80% of grade is based on your own written work, so you make it or break it yourself.
If you want to finish off your English degree by standing or falling totally on the merits of your own work, don't take this class. Very strong group work focus that comprised a good size chunk of the grade and made for plenty of headaches.
Only take this class if you don't mind having your writing content and style micromanaged. I compromised myself for a grade and wrote the paper he wanted that didn't conflict with his personal convictions. But it wasn't my best work, and it wasn't what I wanted to do. If he wants to write he should do it himself on his own dime and his own time.
For the capstone course of the degree-there was far too much group work. His motto was "live or die as a group" and a good chunk of our grades depended on groupwork. The real world doesn't work that way-people that won't or can't perform or are distruptive get fired. They don't get carried by anyone in the group. Aggravating experience. Hated it.
Got a good grade but didn't enjoy the class. Davis is far too controlling about dictating how and what we wrote. Be careful if you have a thesis that conflicts with his own personal biases-because he can't separate his beliefs from academic analysis of issues that make him uncomfortable. Unprofessional in that way. Arrogant. Too much group work.
As I got to know Dr. Davis, he really is a decent guy. He's smart, but will explain if others don't understand. He really has a good heart, and is passionate about what he is teaching. Davis wants students to have that same passion. He is available to all his students, English major or not. Don't be overwhelmed by his big words, just ask!
He is an arrogant jerk. Extremely intellectually dishonest. Uses straw man arguments like I've never seen before from a college prof. I'm so glad his class is long over. I'll never take another with him. Also, whoever said he's hot must like prematurely geriatric, balding men that reek of stale cigarette smoke and bitterness.

The Mercyhurst Prep football team defeated Saegertown 27-26 in overtime Thursday night to kick off week eight of the high school football season. Mercyhurst trailed in the 4th quarter until P.J. Wycheck's 41 yard touchdown pass to Ben Tarcson on 4th down and 4 tied the game at 20. Tarcson then sent the game to overtime with an interception of Panther quarterback Noah Marvin inside the Lakers 10 yard line. After Saegertown scored on its first overtime drive, but failed on a two-point coversion, Mercyhurst responded with a score. Needing just an extra point to win, Cornelius Barclay's kick was blocked by Kyle Wise, but an offsides penalty allowed Barclay to re-kick and nail the game winner.

4everbowhunts 2011 Fall Archery Bear
Hi guys...Here are a couple of pics of my bear I shot Monday night.He weighed in at 423 pounds.
Nice bear!!!!!......Great bear!!!!!!
Congrats on a very nice black bear! Looks like a real punkin head mature boar.
Hey what did he square and what did the skull green score?
HOO BOY! That's a dang nice one! Filled up the back of that truck, huh? Congrats!
How many folks did it take to get it out of the woods?
Thanks guys.
Here is the story of my 2011 fall bear.
Monday Sept.12th opening day of the Fall Archery Bear season found me on stand at 3p.m..It was a nice day except for high winds.The woods were very quiet with nothing moving until 10 minutes before dark when a large bear stepped out of the thick brush and stopped behind a large maple tree.At this point all I could see was his hind end and about 30 seconds later he swapped ends crashing back through the thick stuff leaving me wondering what spooked him.He did not return and I climbed down and headed for home.
The next two days were uneventful on stand with nothing moving except for the trees due to the high winds.
Thursday afternoon found me on stand at 2p.m. It was still a very windy day with nothing moving until 5:25p.m. when I spotted movement in back of the baitsite.All of a sudden Boo-Boo showed up and proceeded to clean out the baitpails.He looked to be about 125 pounds and entertained me for the next 45 minutes.The rest of the day was uneventful.
Saturday morning found me in my treestand at 6:25a.m. due to the amount of a.m. pics I had of bears in the baitsite.It was still very windy and when daylight arrived I had five pileated woodpeckers knocking the wood chips out of a couple of dead trees 25 yards away.At 10:30a.m. I climbed down and went home.
Monday Sept.19th found me on stand at 2:30p.m. And this time it was a calm day with no wind.Nothing moved until ten minutes before dark when a large bear stepped into the baitsite giving me a broadside shot.I took the shot and the bear tore off to my right and about 20 seconds later instead of death moans I heard death roars that echoed through the woods then all was quiet.I retrieved my blood soaked arrow and left the woods.
Tuesday morning found me back at the site to track the bear.The only blood I could find was where I retrieved my arrow from the pass through.It was a hard tracking job and I lost his direction of travel when I came across four different bear trails.I kept trying to pick up his trail but ended up going back to the baitsite and took a compass bearing from where I was standing in the direction of the roars I heard the night before.Approximately 15 minutes later I had walked directly to my bear and realized he would be hard to get out.My shot had double lunged the bear and I was surprised he had travelled this far.The bear went 45 feet down into a ravine and luckily two trees stopped his descent because it was about another 75 feet to the bottom of the ravine.I went out to the truck and phoned my brother who along with my nephew arrived to help me.It took us 3.5 hours using a block and tackle just to get the bear up to the top of the ravine.Total time to get the bear to the truck was 7 hours and 45 minutes.Once at the truck I got my pics and then built a tripod and hooked the chain hoist to it to load the bear as we could not lift it off the ground to load it.Another successful bear season!!!
awesome bear
Finally have the measurements of this bear...Hide squared 7 feet and 2 inches Skull is 19 inches even.This was my 35th bear and 32 of them taken with a bow.
That is a good'n....congrats!
Is that the largest bear you have taken with a bow?
2011 was my 39th bear season.We used to be allowed to harvest 3 bears per year.We had 3 different seasons and allowed 1 bear per season.We still have the 3 seasons but are only allowed 1 bear per year.If I don't get one in the spring season then I have a 2 week archery only season in September followed by another any weapon season in October.This was not my largest bear.I have taken 3 over 500 pounds.

Cenk Kadir Uygur (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈdʒɛŋk ˈujɡur]; born March 21, 1970) is a Turkish American political commentator, internet personality, and political activist. Uygur is the main host and co-founder of the Internet talk radio show and eponymous television show, The Young Turks (TYT). Uygur is currently the chief news officer of Current TV, succeeding Keith Olbermann following his departure from the cable television network.[2][3] A naturalized U.S. citizen, Uygur was born in Turkey and raised from age eight in the United States. He worked as an attorney in Washington, D.C. and New York before beginning his career as a political commentator. Originally a moderate Republican, he has since become a staunch critic of both the Republican and Democratic parties.[4][5]
In addition to hosting TYT, Uygur appeared on MSNBC as a political commentator in 2010, later hosting a weeknight commentary show on the channel for nearly six months until being replaced by Al Sharpton.[6] Shortly after leaving MSNBC, Uygur secured a show on Current TV that began airing on December 5, 2011.[7]
Uygur was born in Istanbul, Turkey and emigrated with his family to the United States when he was eight years old.[8] He grew up in East Brunswick Township, New Jersey and graduated from East Brunswick High School. He attended the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania where he majored in management[9] and was on the Student Activities Council representing the Turkish Students Association.[10] He also earned a law degree from Columbia Law School[11] and worked as an associate attorney at the law firms of Drinker Biddle & Reath in Washington, D.C. and Hayes & Liebman in New York City.[12]
Uygur first appeared as a talk show host on a weekend radio show on WWRC in Washington, D.C. and on WRKO in Boston. He later wrote for, produced, and appeared on the WAMI-TV news show The Times in Miami, then started The Young Turks on Sirius Satellite Radio.[13]
While in college, he wrote a column in The Daily Pennsylvanian criticizing affirmative action recruiting at the university and suggesting that all students should be "judged on their merits rather than their physical characteristics."[9] He supported the pro-life position on the abortion issue, criticized the radical aspects of the feminist movement, and felt Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was treated unjustly during his Senate confirmation hearings.[14] He also criticized organized religion as based on mythology and as a divisive force between peoples.[15]
He has stated that he worked for a time for Republican former New York Congressman Joe DioGuardi.[16]
Uygur supported the Gulf War of 1990–1991, and supported the War in Afghanistan from its beginning in 2001 until 2009—though he has strongly opposed the Iraq War.[4] He supported the 2011 military intervention in Libya.
Uygur expressed denial of the Armenian Genocide in letters published by The Daily Pennsylvanian in 1991 and Salon in 1999, in one of which titled "Historical Fact or Falsehood?" he stated, "The claims of an Armenian Genocide are not based on historical facts. If the history of the period is examined it becomes evident that in fact no such genocide took place."[17][18] In 2012, Uygur's letters later drew criticism from the west-coast affiliate of the Armenian National Committee of America and the California Armenian American Democrats who subsequently staged protests during his speech at the California Democratic Party 2012 State Convention with the support of Charles Calderon and Janice Hahn.[19][20][21]
Regarding the Armenian Genocide articles, Ana Kasparian stated in 2010 that "people change their political opinions all the time."[22] and has acknowledged that massacres preceded an Armenian diaspora.[23] At a Progressive Caucus of the California Democratic Party meeting on February 11, 2012, Cenk stressed that "The Young Turks" title referenced the phrase as it applies to any generic progressive political movement that threatens to upend the established order, and was not an endorsement of the Young Turks' regime in Turkey.[24]
Uygur has changed his positions in recent years. On social issues, Uygur is now pro-choice on abortion and supports LGBT rights, including same-sex marriage. In 2009, he advocated the liberalization of drug laws, arguing that the War on Drugs has been a failure, as shown by the continuing violence in Mexico and the border region. He also opposes imprisoning non-violent drug offenders for marijuana possession. He previously supported capital punishment, but now opposes it largely due to multiple exonerations of death row inmates since its reinstatement.
Uygur has expressed support for a return to Clinton-era income tax brackets and has criticized the 2010 Obama–GOP compromise which provided for a temporary extension of the Bush tax cuts. Uygur has stated that he favored welfare reform as enacted under Bill Clinton. He has been critical of excessive regulation, but has argued that in recent decades, regulation of the financial sector has been inadequate. In particular, he faults the deregulatory policies of Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. He views the repeal (which Clinton signed into law) of the Glass–Steagall Act, as a major contributor to the late-2000s recession. However, on many issues Uygur maintains that many of his economic positions have not moved (He describes himself as a fiscal conservative in many cases) instead the right wing has shifted by becoming more extreme even since the end of Bush's presidency, describing Texas governor Rick Perry as "George Bush on Steroids".[25]
On national security and civil liberties issues, Uygur has strongly opposed the practices begun under the Bush administration, of indefinite detention, warrantless wiretapping and extraordinary rendition, and believes that waterboarding is an illegal torture technique. Uygur has been a strong critic of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the right-wing Israeli government and has stated that he is an advocate for a two state solution in the West Bank and has repeatedly criticized the Israeli government for its failure to materialize.[26]
The 2000 election was the first time Uygur voted Democratic, supporting Al Gore. Uygur has supported Democratic congressional and presidential candidates ever since, though he frequently criticized the Democratic congressional leadership for insufficiently opposing the Bush administration on civil liberties and foreign policy issues. Uygur has criticized Blue Dog Democrats and other centrist and conservative Democrats, some of whom he has labeled as "corporatists". He has described former Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold, a Democrat, as "probably the only guy in the whole entire Senate we can trust".[27] When Feingold was defeated for reelection in 2010 by Republican Ron Johnson, Uygur said Feingold had been "the best Senator we had, and we no longer have him".[16]
In part because of concerns over Bush's foreign policy and policies on civil liberties, Uygur said he would support an impeachment of Bush. Early in the 2008 Obama campaign, Uygur questioned Obama's suitability for the presidency, saying Obama lacked political experience at the national level and had limited achievements in the U.S. Senate. However, he strongly supported Obama later on.
Since the fall of 2009, Uygur has taken an increasingly critical attitude towards the Obama administration, saying after two years in office, Obama is, "not a progressive .... He is a consummate politician."[28] Uygur has criticized the 2010 health insurance reform law as overly watered-down, owing to excessive concessions to business and conservatives in Congress, noting the deal made between Obama and the drug companies. Uygur has similarly criticized the 2010 financial reform law.
Uygur feels the Obama administration has too readily conceded to conservative ideological arguments to the point of demonstrating an unwillingness to defend liberal positions. However, Uygur voted for Obama in the 2012 presidential election,[29] despite his disagreements with the president.[30]
Uygur created the talk show The Young Turks with the goal of starting a moderate liberal political and entertainment show.[2][31] It launched on 13 February 2002. It later became a success online, and aired on the Sirius Satellite Radio network.[32] The Young Turks claims to be the first Internet video news show and states that it is now the largest online news show in the world. Collectively it has amassed over 1,000,000,000 (a billion) views on YouTube. Video of the show is streamed daily on its website and is available as a podcast.[33][34]
On September 20, 2011, Current TV announced that The Young Turks would launch a weeknight TV edition of the show at 7 p.m. EST (M-F) on the network beginning sometime in the fourth quarter of 2011. According to the show's website, the show is introduced as The Young Turks with Cenk Uygur to differentiate itself from the popular web series.[35]
On October 21, 2010 MSNBC announced that Uygur had been officially hired as a contributor and substitute anchor for the network. On January 21, 2011, it was announced that Uygur would be hosting the 6 p.m. Eastern slot on MSNBC as the anchor of a new prime time edition of MSNBC Live, after the network parted ways with Keith Olbermann, resulting in a rearrangement of the timeslots of MSNBC's other prime time shows. Uygur filled the time slot vacated by Ed Schultz,[36][37] from late January through June 2011, earning first among people 18–34 in the second quarter. His contract was ended when he did not accept a lower profile weekend slot.[6] An MSNBC spokesperson expressed regret at Uygur's leaving.[38] Uygur gave his side of the story on Democracy Now!, saying that MSNBC President Phil Griffin had called him into his office in April and told him that he had been talking to people in Washington and that they did not like Uygur's tone.[39] MSNBC denied the claim, saying that "We did have numerous conversations with Cenk about his style, not substance."[40]
Uygur has appeared on numerous occasions on MSNBC, CNN Headline News, E! Entertainment Television, Aljazeera, RT, ABC News, Voice of America, NPR and the Fox News Channel.[41] He was a regular guest on The Dylan Ratigan Show for a segment opposite various conservative commentators. On several occasions, Uygur filled in for the MSNBC shows of Ratigan,[42] Ed Schultz, and Keith Olbermann, both before and after becoming a regular paid contributor to MSNBC in October 2010.
Jon Stewart showed clips of Uygur on Comedy Central's The Daily Show in August and September 2010; in one instance Uygur spoke on internet neutrality, and in the other, he commented on pastor Terry Jones and his Koran burning controversy.[43][44] On December 22, 2010 Uygur interviewed Wikileaks founder Julian Assange on MSNBC's The Dylan Ratigan Show.[45] He appeared on George Galloway's political radio show on February 11, 2011 as an American correspondent, explaining problems he perceives with American politics for a British audience.[46] He hosted Good Day L.A. in March 2012.[47]
In late 2011, after seeing the momentum of Occupy Wall Street, Uygur decided to launch a long term project of his, a political action committee named Wolf-PAC. Wolf-PAC aims to lobby state legislators to pass resolutions calling for a constitutional convention. If this convention is formed the aim is then to pass an amendment to the United States Constitution that would end corporate personhood and publicly finance all elections in the United States.[48]
Uygur was born and raised in a Sunni Muslim family, but is now a self-described "fervent agnostic".[1][49] In 2010, along with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Uygur accepted the "Emperor Has No Clothes Award" from the Freedom From Religion Foundation and later the Humanist Media Award from the American Humanist Association.[50][51] He is married to Wendy Lang Uygur, a marriage and family therapist, who previously worked as a social worker[52] and now runs her own practice. The Uygurs are the parents of one son, Prometheus Maximus Uygur, born July 2010,[53] and a daughter, Joy Helena Uygur, born October 15, 2012.[54] Cenk has stated that he grew up a fan of the Fenerbahce soccer team.[55]

The New Geo-Graphics iPad Mini Index Should Calm Talk of Currency Wars
A version of this post originally appeared on Geo-Graphics, a Council on Foreign Relations blog by the Maurice R. Greenberg Center for Geoeconomic Studies.
View a larger version of this Geo-Graphic here.
The "law of one price" holds that identical goods should trade for the same price in an efficient market. To what extent does it hold internationally?
The Economist magazine's famous Big Mac Index uses the price of McDonalds' burgers around the world, expressed in a common currency (U.S. dollars), to estimate the extent to which various currencies are over- or under-valued. The Big Mac is a global product, identical across borders, which makes it an interesting one for this purpose. Yet it travels badly – cross-border flows of burgers won't align their prices internationally.
We've created our own index which better meets the condition that the product can flow quickly and cheaply across borders: meet the new Geo-Graphics iPad mini Index.
The iPad mini is a global product that travels by plane in a coat pocket, unlike a burger, and its manufacturer, Apple, is highly attuned to shifting currency values. "We made some pricing adjustments due to changes in foreign exchange rates," Apple spokesman Takashi Tabayashi told Bloomberg News after Apple raised Japanese iPad prices 15% in May, offsetting the early effect of Abenomics on the yen.
As this week's Geo-Graphic shows, there are no major violations of the law of one price in the global market for iPad minis – unlike the market for Big Macs. This is particularly the case after stripping out Value-Added Tax distortions. (Sales tax in many countries, like the United States, is not included in the sales price Apple advertises, but VAT is included in such prices for VAT-levying countries. VAT is also at least partly refundable for foreigners exporting the product.)
The Geo-Graphics iPad mini Index confirms that the Swiss franc is a bit overvalued, and the Malaysian ringgit undervalued, but the scale of the misvaluation is much less than the Big Mac index suggests.
In China, an iPad mini now sells for 5.6% more, ex-VAT, in dollar terms than it does in the U.S.. This suggests that the RMB may be closer to its "correct" level than Big Macs, and numerous pundits, suggest.
Currency warriors, take heed – the new Geo-Graphics iPad mini Index, at least, says that you can't win.

I am just making this post to rep this man's channel. I wish every tech blog adopted his style of reviewing devices. As an aside I think that the N5 review was a real return to form for the Verge, as Josh clearly spent time with the device and put a lot of thought into his criticisms of it. But I think this highlights a larger problem with the Verge which is simply that David Pierce get too many of the reviews.

It's late at night, and I'm wandering the NFL back alleys with a flashlight. There is a fine drizzle in the cold, damp air and a chill is creeping up my spine.
Lifting the lids on trash cans and peeking inside the dumpsters, I hear a rustling down the alley. Who, or what can it be?
I cautiously approach a dumpster where the noises are emanating. I shine my light on the side of the dumpster where I see "Property of the Chicago Bears" crudely stenciled.
I hear soft whistling and the sound of bottles and cans being disturbed. Moving closer, I hear the tune "Gridiron Heros" being whistled slightly off-key.
I shine my flashlight beam into the open dumpster. There, wearing a pair of old, torn coveralls and a soiled Carhart jacket is Lions GM, Martin Mayhew.
"Hey, Marty! How you doin?"
"Hey, Mikey! I'm doin good. Now, get that damned light out of my eyes!" I comply sheepishly. "You lookin around, Mikey?"
"Well, sorta, Marty. I gotta tell ya that I found a Merriweather across the alley, in the Patriot's trash."
"Yeah, Mikey, I saw it too, but it didn't interest me. You know how that Patriots trash turns out when you clean it off. Still looks like trash and has a fishy odor that just won't come out."
We chuckle together, and I ask him, "So, finding anything interesting lately?"
Marty's eyes light up. "Yeah, man, you gotta see the great trash I found! Look at this! It's a perfectly good Rashied Davis!" Marty continues rummaging, while whistling softly.
I ask Marty, "So why did the Bears toss out Davis? Couldn't afford fresh batteries?"
"Naw, they found a new toy to tease poor Johnny Knox with. They picked up Roy Williams." We share a good laugh at that. "Mikey, shine your light over there."
I move the beam of light to the corner of the dumpster where Mayhew is pointing. "Geez, Marty, is that the first six volumes of Mike Martz' playbook?"
"Yeah, Mikey, and it's just as worthless now as it was when he was Detroit's offensive coordinator."
I help Marty climb out of the Bears dumpster and shined my light across the alley at a row of trash cans owned by the Seahawks. "You found some pretty neat square pegs over there, Marty."
"Yeah, Mikey, it was nice to find Rob Sims, Lawrence Jackson, and Nate Burleson in Seattle's trash last year, but I think I cleaned them out pretty good."
I spot an orange dumpster down the alley. "Marty, what's that?"
Oh, that's the Cleveland Browns trash. Let's go have a look, Mikey!" We trot over to the dumpster where I throw open the lid. Inside is Eric Mangini, mumbling "I can too draft talent, dammit!"
Marty asks me for a boost over the high wall. He lands on something soft that goes "Ouch! Watch where you're jumping, man!"
I shine my light on the source of the outburst. It's CB Eric Wright. Marty asks him, "What the heck are you doing in the Browns trash, Eric?"
Wright points over at Mangini and says "I dunno. You better ask that idiot."
Marty says "Wright, we're gonna get you outta here, clean you up, and give you a new coat of paint in Honolulu Blue and Silver."
Wright's face brightens, then abruptly turns dour. "Uh, I don't know, Marty. I was getting death threats from Browns fans."
Aw, it's OK, Eric.", Marty says, then adds "Detroit fans didn't even send death threats to my former boss, Matt Millen. You are gonna be just fine."
I help Eric and Marty climb out of the Browns dumpster. Daylight is approaching and I am soaked to the skin.
"Well, Mikey, I think I'm gonna call it a night. We found some nice pieces tonight, didn't we?"
"Yeah, Marty, it was a hoot! Now I have to get home and see if I can get that fish smell off of me in the shower. Later, Marty!"
"See you tonight, Mikey!"

Myrtle Beach, SC- Tony Batman's A Entertainment News- We again are proud to bring you another recap article from our friend and co worker Ron "Sparky" James. This time Sparky tells us all about the recent Charity Golf Outing that was held in Myrtle Beach by The New Dollhouse Gentlemens Club at the Azalea Sands Gold Club to benefit the Tara Hall Home For Boys. Ron Sparky James is one of the awesome DJ's at The New Dollhouse and a very active member of the Strip Club DJ groups across the country, he has also appeared on the Planet Platypus Radio Show and the A Entertainment News several times….. Please Read The Story Below.
DJ Ron James here…what a weekend! As the first big event put on by Thee New Dollhouse Entertainment Director and Club Consultant Pro and David Boehm, you know it had to be big. So as a way to celebrate a great fall season and to give back, David arranged the Inaugural Caddy Auction Party and Charity Golf Outing to support the Tara Hall Home for Boys.(www.tarahall.org) if you couldn't attend and would like to make a charitible donation to a worthy cause.)
We started things off December 1st with the Caddy Auction Party at Thee New Dollhouse. David and DJ Chris Combs rocked the house getting people amped up for the most beautiful entertainers in our region to be their own personal caddies. It was a long night of drinking with some of my best friends in the business. As well, the staff and I were pleased to introduce them to the newly remodeled club, some for the first time! We were even fortunate enough to be joined by such great names as…
*Rick Seratte of Foreigner and White Snake
*Howard Stevens Former Runing Back for the Baltimore Colts and now a Motivational Speark
*Carl Michael, Illusionist of America's Got Talent fame and 2012 Reader's Choice Magician of the Year
*Strip Club Radio's Tim Rhodes from the Cheetah in Atlanta (www.stripclubradioshow.com)
*Planet Platypus star, Former Feature, and Marketing Director for Tootsie's of Miami, Daisy Duxe
*Planet Platypus Star, Solid Gold Head D.J. and 2012 Exotic Dancer Employee of the Year, Johnny Walker (www.planetplatypus.com)
*Wild's J own Mama J!
*Industry Legend Mike Valentine
*and the one and only father of the modern gentleman's clubs and my boss, Michael J. Peter!
Sat was only just the beginning, as the big day had arrived. We finished the 2nd round of Caddy Auctioning and let the golfer's get to it! It was a great tournament, and someone even came within 10 feet of winning the 20,000 Harley Davidson Street Glide! SO CLOSE! We had an INCREDIBLE turnout, with a full sellout for the weekend, raising more than $5,000 dollars for the Tara Hall Home for Boys. We look forward to another big event sometime in the
late spring/early summer and our goal is to double that number to $10,000 with even more incredible Hole In One contests and more! I'll be back with the details as soon as I have them.
A big shout out to David Boehm for putting this together, the staff of Thee New Dollhouse for volunteering their time and making sure this went smoothly, everyone at Azalea Sands Golf Course for their cooperation in helping this go so great, all of our golfers, celebrities and good friends alike, who helped us raise the money so those kids could have an better Christmas this year!

HUNTSVILLE (WATE) - The Scott County Sheriff's Office is cutting back part of its budget and improving the lives of people in jail.
For the first time in a decade, inmates are getting home-cooked meals and the sheriff's office is getting something in return.
When the new Scott County Justice Center was built in 2008, a kitchen was installed, but in all that time, it was never used. That changed last Saturday morning.
"It's been approximately 10 years since we've had a kitchen cooking, you know, people in the kitchen actually cooking," said Lt. Mike Wilson of the Scott County Sheriff's Office.
Valley Foods is now responsible for inmate meals, and at a price of $1.38, they're reducing the cost of feeding about 160 people by more than half.
"Some of our TV dinners, not very big dinners at all, some of them were over $3.00 a piece. We probably went through and average of 150 a morning, 150 in the afternoon," Lt. Wilson added.
This year alone, serving hot meals will save the Scott County Sheriff's Department $60,000. In a full year, it will save the department $100,000.
But saving hundreds of thousands of dollars isn't the only benefit. The new industrial kitchen hood was installed by Valley Foods and the price of it incorporated into the cost per meal.
"At the end of five years, if we don't want to renew the contract, we don't have to, and all the equipment belongs to the county," Lt. Wilson explained.
According to the people who delivered the first fresh breakfast to inmates in a decade, grits and eggs cooked fresh were a hit.
"It is absolutely wonderful to see the looks on people's face here, because they are extremely happy with our service, and just seeing a hot meal being cooked instead of a TV dinner is just 100% improvement. They're happy," said Valley Foods District Manager Karen Williams.
The new service also reduces waste, with food being ordered locally and cooked at the Justice Center.
Lt. Wilson also tells us that they had to order thousands of TV dinners at once, and that sometimes several hundred would have gone bad by the time they got them.

The undisputed flagship of Black history and literature, Marcus Books, is currently fighting to stay alive in San Francisco, which might now be known as the undisputed pinnacle of wealth-hoarding and displacement. The Johnson family is planning a series of actions to fight this unjust removal, but for now readers can call Royal Cab and tell the Sweis family to sell Marcus Books back to the Johnson family.

Dr. Willie Ratcliff is publisher of the San Francisco Bay View, one of the leading Black newspapers in the U.S. and a treasured source of left news in the Bay Area. In an interview with Michael Chase and Ragina Johnson, Ratcliff, a longtime resident of the city, reflected on the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and its closure, environmental racism and the changes in the Fillmore neighborhood, a historically Black area known as "Harlem West."
March 1, 2011
The Black population in San Francisco drastically declined when urban renewal, Redevelopment and the gentrification of the Fillmore/Western Addition started in the '60s, bulldozed the hearts of African Americans, many forced to move out of the City.
February 4, 2011
Preliminary numbers from the 2010 Census put the remaining African American population for the city of San Francisco at around 3.9 percent! How did we get to this point? Why are we leaving this city in such droves? Why isn't City Hall doing more to stop the mass exodus of African Americans from this city? Join the discussion on 'The State of Black San Francisco' – screening of 'Straight Outta Hunters Point' and panel discussions – at the Bayview Opera House, 4705 Third St., SF, Sunday, Feb. 13, 2-5 p.m., child care provided.
November 8, 2010
Unemployment for African American males in the southeast sector is well over 50 percent, but you have these contractors bringing billions of dollars worth of work into our community, much of the work we are more than qualified to do, and they tell us they don't have to hire us? The time for excuses is over! Change is coming whether the good ol' boys like it or not! This Local Hire legislation for publicly funded construction projects is only the beginning.
March 21, 2010
By the 1980s, the largest population of African Americans in the state of California owned homes, property and businesses in the Bayview Hunters Point district of San Francisco. Now, the BVHP Redevelopment Project threatens to deprive them of their land, historical legacy and culture, fulfilling the United Nations definition of a government sponsored genocidal campaign.
March 8, 2010
The dirt is in the details. Dirty early transfer, dirty development, dirty politics is not the answer to any of the conditions that plague Bayview Hunters Point or San Francisco as a whole. Now it is our call, our time to get involved to say no to the dirty onslaught upon BVHP and San Francisco.
February 12, 2010
In December 2009, leading climatologist Dr. James Hansen cited new satellite data doubling or tripling previous sea level rise predictions. Climate change, he said, "is really a moral issue analogous to that faced by Lincoln with slavery," an apt comparison considering the dangers for peoples of color in the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood of San Francisco.
January 26, 2010
In its comments on the Candlestick Point-Hunters Point Shipyard Environmental Impact Report, POWER focused on the carcinogens and radiological contamination at the Shipyard; the dangers of liquefaction; climate change and sea level rise; transportation impacts from the proposed development; the connection of the development to the existing community; and the preservation of historic Ohlone sites.

1) Lennar paid federal lobbyists $240,000 to win them a $320 million cash bailout characterized as a retroactive tax refund. 2) In the accounting for its fourth quarter report, announced on Jan. 7, 2010, Lennar used $284.9 million of the $320 million to offset its quarter losses. 3) Lennar then reported the remaining $35.6 million as profit, earned income. 4) Taxpayers, yet again, footed the bill.
November 17, 2009
Tonight is a night of rejoicing in San Francisco's Black heartland, Bayview Hunters Point. After more than a decade of fighting the land-grabbing Lennar cabal – Florida-based mega-homebuilder Lennar and its sponsors, Mayor Gavin Newsom, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, richest member of the U.S. Senate Sen. Dianne Feinstein and her husband, Lennar partner Richard Blum – we the people of the poorest neighborhood in filthy rich Frisco finally won one.
June 30, 2009
In a letter dated May 22, 2009, Navy representatives announced their intention to dissolve the RAB. This is not the first time the Navy has threatened to take this action. Indeed, whenever a critical impasse has arisen regarding key shipyard cleanup matters, a threat to disband the elected body recognized by Congress as the legitimate organized voice for public comment, dissent and scientific debate has been made.
May 30, 2009
Sen. Mark Leno's Senate Bill 792 would give clean parkland at Candlestick Point to Lennar and replace it with toxic land. Lennar, the "toxic dust developer," plans to build 10,000 luxury condos at the Hunters Point Shipyard. This toxic trade bill is now in the California Assembly, so calls opposing SB 792 should be made immediately to Fiona Ma, (916) 319-2012, and Tom Ammiano, (916) 319-2013.
April 5, 2009
In an email to the San Francisco Bay View, Laurence Pelosi verified that he was a Lennar senior executive in March of 2004 at the time San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, his cousin for whom he had served as mayoral campaign treasurer, had signed the Hunters Point Shipyard Conveyance Agreement at the behest of Laurence's Aunt Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
April 4, 2009
Lennar, when will you stop stirring up all that radioactive asbestos in the Hunters Point Shipyard into the air that all the fine people of color in Bayview Hunters Point are obliged to breathe in order to live?
March 31, 2009
A time bomb is ticking, waiting to explode in communities of color across the nation. Law enforcement officers have become an occupation force. If we are to have peace, we first must place economic justice at the top of our agenda. The day Lovelle Mixon died, those close to him mentioned two explanations: He dreaded being sent back to prison yet he couldn't find a job.
February 18, 2009
As city departments cut vital health and tenant protection programs, one might conclude that the obvious targets for cost savings have already been hit. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
February 1, 2009
On Wednesday, Jan. 28, the California Supreme Court rejected our appeal, ruling against the 33,000 San Franciscans who signed our referendum and against the right of the 33,000 residents of Bayview Hunters Point – 91 percent of us people of color – to determine our own destiny.
November 25, 2008
Lennar's LEN stocks had sunk to $3.60 per share by mid-November despite restructuring and partnership with the financial firm CB Richard Ellis, headed by Richard Blum, a UC regent and husband of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a principle sponsor of the Lennar-funded Proposition G.

Product Details This season, you can hold all the power, or at least look like you do in your dark and brooding Halloween costume. Forget about cheesy witches or plain sorcerers. You have taken both and warped them into an attractively devious style. This unique holiday outfit features a floor length costume dress with a velvety black center, and a shimmery grey blue outer layer that runs from side to side. The V shaped waist line is accented in silver. The snugly fitting bodice features a solid velvet black look with matching silver accents around the gently scooped bust line. The shoulders and top are entirely black lace, for an alluring see-through effect. The lacey sleeves run narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. You can be ultra feminine without wearing a pink, girly princess Halloween costume! The outfit includes a steeple shaped witch hat in shimmery silver and black, with silver accents that run around the band. If you like, add some costume makeup for a look that leans more towards ugly witch, or if you prefer, some mystical accents for a powerful sorceress costume look. A Fake hair wig is optional with this attractive Halloween look. This one is a perfect blend of feminine charm and gothic style.

Tifton- Preliminary autopsy results show a Tift County inmate died from a fall. Tifton Police say 39-year old James "Tony" Harrell's initial autopsy revealed he died as a result of head trauma suffered when he fell off a garbage truck.
Harrell was on a work detail March 17th. Investigators think he may have fainted and fallen off a sanitation rear loader dump truck. He died at a Macon hospital March 25th.
Family members still think Harrell's death may have been caused by a fight at the jail before he went to the work detail. Full autopsy results are expected in two weeks.

I've just stumbled on page 55 of this manual : http://support.nevt.co.jp/dl_service/data/user_manual/ENGLISH/HT1000/ht1000_e_4.pdf which lists the standard frequencies and pixel clocks a video projector expects For example for 750*576 at 50 (SDTV, basically the mode you find on PAL DVDs) this document states: hsync: 31,25 kHz, field rate: 50 Hz, pclk: 27 MHz And the CVT generator will output: hsync: 29.58 kHz, field rate: 49.62 Hz, pclk: 26.50 MHz Which seems a lot less sane to me.

The stats are there to reinforce the obvious. When we can't beat divsion opponets, we can't succeed in the season. Romeo Crennel and the Chiefs say they, "Cannot figure out what's wrong with this team." Well I have a hint for you and it's real simple. Three variables point out as obvious and chilling when it comes to winning in KC. I took some time and analyzed some statistics that seem obvious, but are correlational to KC succes. First of all, I will start with the basic, winning at home.
Winning at home seems to be a long standing joke in Kansas City. As miserable and demoralizing as it is, winning at home has died since the departure of the Vermeil era. Only two seasons have been winning ones since the departure of Dick Vermeil as head coach of the Chiefs. Those two seasons, we made the playoffs. The 2010 team, which went 7-1, and the 2006 team, which went 6-2. Getting wins at home is an element in winning, thus creating home field advantage. I realize it is important to win on the road, but teams are supposed to win at home because of the advantage. Since Vermeil departed, the Chiefs have a record of 20-30. That is just Abysmal. If you take out the two solid years you get 7-27. That is just sad. It's hard to negate the fact that home field advantage has left KC years ago. I am not a Marty fan, but under him, we never had a loosing season at home. By that I mean our winning percentage at home was always above .500. One would think that with such a young team, players would play harder, and with more discipline, at home. Historically, young teams love home games, but not this team. An 0-2 start at Arrowhead signifies a deep disregard for home fans passion for the game.
Secondly comes the obvious turnover ratio. We are currently -13 in this category. This is unacceptable. Three teams actually made the playoffs last year with negative ratios (NO (-3), Den (-12), and Pit (-13), but these are end of season numbers and we already have -13. This is not looking good. Also, the four teams competing in the championship games all had positive turnover ratios. Taking care of the ball is an obvious need and the Chiefs are not doing that.
Finally, winning in division. Again this is obvious; however, it is a fundamental attribution to victory in the NFL. We have not had a winning season against the division since 2006. I realize that the division is tough; however, it is a majority of the schedule that a team must play. Succes in a divsion leads to many great things (with the exception of the 2010 Raiders who went 6-0 in divison but failed to make the playoffs). The Chiefs are 12-19 against divsion opponents since 2006 and 4 of those wins came against the Raiders (All in Oakland). To be even would be an improvement, but to win only close to 33 % of the division games is shameful. To make it worse is that 8 of those 12 were on the road. If only we could win the home divisonal games.
The bottom line is these statistics demonstrate areas in which the chiefs lack and cannot fulfill at this moment. The inability to win at home, in divdion, and without turnovers is disconcerning. Until these problems become obsolete, the Chiefs will continue to loose. I hope that this will soon be remedied; however, with a home game against the Baltimore ravens on Sunday, I find it hard to believe that it will happen this week. The next probable shot at victory in a home game is against the Oakland Raiders and we haven't beaten them at Arrowhead since 2006. Good luck Chiefs. It's going to be a long season!!!!

Florida, Alabama enter Game of the Year in good health
By Post Staff
The Florida Gators have a pretty important football game coming up against the Alabama Crimson Tide, and they enter the game in relatively good health.
Starting linebacker A.J. Jones won't play with a sprained MCL, but otherwise Urban Meyer expects to have all of his major and secondary pieces for Saturday's SEC Championship Game.
Cornerback Janoris Jenkins was removed from Saturday's win over Florida State with a hip strain, but Meyer said Jenkins "feels great today. We're going to run him and stretch him today, but he's fine."
Running back Emmanuel Moody is also battling through a sprained ankle, which has kept him out of the Gators' last two games. Meyer called him "questionable" but later said Moody was "probable" and said he expects Moody to play.
"I saw him today and he said he's feeling a lot better," Meyer said. "He tried to practice last Wednesday, so we're hoping to have him available this week."
Otherwise, Meyer said the Gators are "a little more healthy this year." Last year they had to play Alabama in the championship game without Percy Harvin.
This time it's 'Bama who has to deal with an injury to a star offensive player.
Running back Mark Ingram, competing with Tim Tebow for the Heisman Trophy, suffered a hip pointer Saturday against Auburn and sat out the Tide's game-winning drive.
Alabama coach Nick Saban said he thinks Ingram will be fine.
"We don't think he has a significant problem," Saban said. "It was late in the game when it happened and just never really had an opportunity to go back in. We'll see more tomorrow and how he moves around in practice, but we feel like he'll be fine for the game."

Kendall Hunter. This guy hasnt been talked about too much around the Falcoholic but from what I see from this guy, he could definately become a great change of pace back.
He has suffered from injury a bit so there is a chance he could end up like another Norwood however when he is healthy he is a serious big play threat who is fast and has the strength to break a couple tackles. If he didn't have injury problems he could have been a 2nd round pick but he is currently projected to go around the 4th round.
He is very fast and has excellent accelleration (he can seemingly hit full speed off one step), he also has great vision which makes him a good big play threat and he is small and agile enough to make people miss. He also can block the pass rush, in the Senior Bowl he did this well giving the QB more time to step up and make his throw. I think he will rise to a late 2nd round pick but if he is still around in the 3rd round I think he would be a huge steal for the Falcons. You can watch a video of him here and a whole game of him here.
His stats for 2010 are: Attempts: 271 Yards: 1584 (5.85 average) Touchdowns: 16
For his career: Attempts: 708 Yards: 4181 (5.91 average) Touchdowns: 37
He could also be a decent recieving threat out of the backfield as he caught 20 passes last year
I think he has the explosive speed to be a big threat like we need while also being very tough and tenacious, he is strong enough to pound the ball straight up the middle and fast enough to break a play around the outside. He would be great as he could be used in so many different way. I think he could fit in perfectly to replace Norwood in this draft and would be a good fit to our offense.
According to CBS sports, he is rated the 11th best RB and is the 109th best player in the draft, he ise xpected to go in the 3rd or 4th round. He also runs a 4.48 in the 40 yard dash.

David Lee, who suffered a torn hip flexor just 12 days ago, has been cleared to play limited minutes for the Golden State Warriors in a crucial Game 6 against the Denver Nuggets, according to Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports. Lee is listed as active for the game, according to Marcus Thompson of the Contra Costa Times, though it's not immediately clear if he will actually play.
The news represents a sharp turn for Lee, who was ruled out for the playoffs by the Warriors one day after suffering the injury in Game 1 of the series. Despite the apparent seriousness of the injury, Lee was told he did not need surgery, which may help explain this sudden change in his status.
It's not clear how much or even if Lee will play. The Warriors have thrived despite his absence, winning three straight games using a smaller lineup before falling in Tuesday's Game 5. Nevertheless, the return of the All-Star forward, even for a few minutes, could do wonders to lift Golden State's spirits in a closeout game at Oracle Arena.

|It's just six weeks away
By Will Maines
IT'S POP QUIZ time. Quick, can anyone tell me what is six weeks away?
I'll give you a few hints. First, it is essentially a large rectangle. How large? It is a rectangle containing 70,665 square miles. You may want to quibble on a tenth of a mile or so, but it is roughly 360 miles wide and 230 miles high.
Lewis and Clark passed through it at one time, as did Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, Sieur de la Verendrye. The former you are probably familiar with, the latter quite likely not, although there is a provincial park in Quebec which bears his name.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
Freddy Vargas served as Chef Scott Conant's right hand man at Scarpetta Beverly Hills when it opened in 2011. Vargas helped the high-end chain achieve critical acclaim until he left the restaurant last spring to head up West Hollywood's Mercato di Vetro. This spring, Freddy's back in the kitchen at Scarpetta. Executive Chef Alex Stratta—who only just started at Scarpetta this past January—is taking a personal leave of absence.
Vargas takes Stratta's place as Executive Chef. For the past few months, he's been working closely with Conant on the transition and menu development. In a statement, Conant praises Vargas' work, "We have a great history working together. Not only will Freddy be the chef of Scarpetta here in L.A., but he will also be helping me with other projects."

Free agent WAR per dollar spent
The Hardball Times has an interesting piece on the value of teams' free agent spending between 2007 and 2011. Unfortunately, and not surprisingly, our friends in St. Louis got 24.9 WAR from their free agents during that period, for $3.3m in spending per free agent WAR. Other teams: 3. Atlanta 14.2 FA WAR, $3.6m/FA WAR 10. Boston 22.8 FA WAR, $4.9m/FA WAR 23. Kansas City 5 FA WAR, $6.5m/FA WAR 29. Oakland 3.5 FA WAR, $6.5m/FA WAR 30. Pittsburgh 0.5 FA WAR, --/FA WAR because they lost 2.6 WAR on the draft picks they gave up and so they had a negative amount. So there's some evidence that Dayton is below average at evaluating major league free agent talent.
