Those of us who admit that we were not there, and do not know what happened when Michael Brown was shot by a policeman in Ferguson, Missouri, seem to be in the minority.
The most poisonous "-ism" now infecting Ferguson, Missouri, is not virulent racism. It's viral narcissism.
Libertarians warned for years that government is force, that government always grows and that America's police have become too much like an occupying army. We get accused of being paranoid, but we look less paranoid after heavily armed police in Ferguson, Missouri, tear gassed peaceful protesters, arrested journalists and stopped some journalists from entering the town.
I want to take advantage of the words of Rahm Emanuel when he said, You never let a serious crisis go to waste, as we are enduring several crises here presently in the world today.
According to College Board, average tuition and fees for the 2013-14 school year totaled $30,094 at private colleges, $8,893 for in-state residents at public colleges and $22,203 for out-of-state residents.
Many people in this country were shocked when the U.S. Navy recently announced the removal of all Bibles from military hotels under their control. This was in response to pressure from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a well-known atheist group.
The late media critic Edwin Diamond once notably quipped that to the American news media, "10,000 deaths in Nepal equals 100 deaths in Wales equals 10 deaths in West Virginia equals one death next door."
If Hillary Clinton doesn't become the next president of the United States, perhaps she could set up as the next Oracle of Delphi.
The events in Ferguson, Missouri, have launched a familiar spectacle: the race to be wrong first.
If anything in life is certain it is this: When Obama wages war on anything, including war, we ought to expect a mass casualty event at this point.
It has been nearly a quarter of a century since the bloody Rodney King riots ripped through Los Angeles.
On Monday, Rasmussen released a poll of Americans regarding the guilt or innocence of Officer Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot unarmed 18-year-old black man Michael Brown six times in Ferguson, Missouri.
109,631,000 Americans lived in households that received benefits from one or more federally funded "means-tested programs" -- also known as welfare -- as of the fourth quarter of 2012, according to data released Tuesday by the Census Bureau.
In one of those faux Ye Old English Tea Shoppes serving tidbits as inauthentic as its spelling and typography, Margaret Thatcher briefly shares her thoughts on our current "wobbly" President.
A cyberattack on Community Health Systems Inc., a private hospital network, in April and June resulted in the theft of non-medical data of 4.5 million Americans, including names, addresses, birth dates, phone numbers and Social Security numbers, according to a new Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The attacks were attributed to Chinese hackers. There's justification for alarm, but not for the reasons you might think.
Hundreds of youths are shot and killed each year in our country. More than 100 were gunned down in gangland or drive-by shootings in Chicago alone in just one year. But the death of Michael Brown, who just graduated from high school and hoped to pursue higher education, has seized the nation's attention like no other.
Running for the U.S. Senate in 2010, Rand Paul became known as that crazy right-winger who expressed reservations about the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But in the past two years, the Kentucky Republican has emerged as his party's most passionate voice on criminal justice reform, explicitly decrying the system's disproportionate impact on African Americans.
What do cigarettes and capital gains have in common? Well, they both start with the same letter, so maybe the Cookie Monster could incorporate them into his favorite song, but Im thinking about something else.
About on third of people have saved NOTHING for retirement... But please keep taxing us and debasing the currency though.
Congratulations go to Forbes columnist John Tamny and editor of Real Clear Markets for producing the "Idiot's Guide to Austrian Economics'. Ironically, that is not exactly what Tamny set out to do.
As clearly evidenced by the recent underperformance of many retail stocks, retail is not a great place to be right now.
The data suggests that investors have been and are currently focused upon 2015-Q2 in setting today's stock prices, since this quarter marks the period of time at which the Federal Reserve is most likely to act to increase short term interest rates in the U.S. for the first time in several years.
Whos really waging the war on women? Ann-Marie Murrell, CEO of Politichicks, joined the show to discuss the way Democrats chastise and ridicule women who dare to think for themselves. John also tackles the issue of the Ferguson, Missouri, riots and why it is not shocking in the least.
When I was 18, I thought I knew plenty about life and politics.
Thomas Sowell once noted that few topics so tap the irrational excesses of a persons intellect
as that of race. At the very least, contemporary race-related discussions are almost invariably
ridden with irrationality.
Aside from meeting with his apparently hapless economic team (which if headed by Joe Biden is roughly as useful as a neurosurgeon with palsy), what was the President up to on his 48 hour trip to DC? Well Apparently he attended a party.
The stock market continues to take its cue from the military action (or inaction) between Russia and Ukraine, and to the lesser extent, from how we are dealing with ISIS (bombs away). But, how long can Wall Street continue whistling past the graveyard when it comes to a potential explosion of violence across America?
In the wake of the gruesome beheading of American journalist, James Wright Foley, it is important to remember that the growing threat of radical Islam is very real.
It is a mainstay of the politically correct that we must bend over backwards to embrace the self-determined "identity" of non-mainstream individuals. The mantra used to be to "be tolerant", but we are long past that. Now we are required celebrate their differences. Unless, that is, the different characteristic is Down syndrome.
America tells stories to itself in images, funny ones, sad ones, selfies we send out over our phones with snarky comments. But lately, the ones that get the most traction are the angry ones. They seize us like hands around our throats. And that's what the images from Ferguson, Mo., feel like to me, hands to the throat. But there's another image I saw last week. This one I like, and it doesn't come from Missouri.
I don't know why we are spending our hard-earned money paying taxes to support a criminal justice system, when issues of guilt and innocence are being determined on television -- and even punishment is being meted out by CNN's showing the home and address of the policeman accused in the Ferguson, Missouri shooting.
If you say that we should have an "honest" discussion about what's going on in Ferguson, it makes people think that hard truths are going to be spoken and we're all going to deeply disagree.
Republicans generally oppose federal encroachment on policy matters traditionally left to the states. SO why is Rep. Ted Poe (R-Tex) alone among his GOP House colleagues in opposing a federal online gambling ban that would preempt state laws, reward special interests, and curtail an otherwise lawful pastime enjoyed by many Americans?

Okay Dan Guerrero, now is the time to grow some balls, admit the experiment is over and make a run at talented football coach who actually has a record of building up a powerhouse football program from scratch. Greg Doyel at CBS Sportsline posted an article on Louisville (http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/9904129)
that suggests that Bobby Petrino may be available this off-season if all of his great junior players bolt.
If we have any chance of getting Petrino (which I freely admit is a HUGE long shot), we have to be proactive and get aggressive. It starts by pulling the trigger and putting Old Yellow out of his misery. The next step would be to go to the Wassermans of the world to fund the way-overpriced buyout of Dorrell's contract and put together a financial package to attract someone of Petrino's caliber. Next, send the private plane (just like you did for Howland) for Petrino and let him know how much you want him. In reality, we can't offer him $3 million a year, but we can offer him a job in the best part of the best city in the world. He should be able to effectively recruit and having a shot at beating Cheatie Peetie in his own town should get a coach like Petrino ready to sign.
The time is now. No more, "Let's give him one more year and see how he does!" I am sick of that. We have said that every year for the last 3 years. Seize the moment, Mr. Guerrero, and make everyone in the UCLA community proud of you again. You found the right basketball coach; now let's go out and find the right football coach.

Dynamo Player is one of the many DIY options we've looked at with close interest over the past year, (See Felicia Ptolemy's Review HERE and Rob Millis' Introduction to the Dynamo Player HERE. Is 2012 the year that it takes off for the indie and artist direct communities? It may very well be, and if so, we can have Orly Ravid of the Film Collaborative to thank once again. Today, she sits down with Dynamo's founder and discusses further evidence of it's success and some of the do's and don'ts of the platform.
The Letter "D"
D: Distribution, DIY, Dynamo Player.
I got educated more all about how it works, with owner Rob Millis who I finally met in person at IDFA in Amsterdam. A fine gentleman indeed.
I usually recommend a filmmaker work with at least two DIY options to give customers a choice and just to not have all one's eggs in one proverb.
Rob explained why Dynamo serves its filmmakers well. He noted its "designed with presentation and high quality" and that the "filmmaker's brand is in front." It's not just about the Dynamo brand.
Dynamo can handle any of the popular video standards and offers viewers up to 1080HD quality, a clean crisp presentation and as many extras as one can pack in. Hence it's a good alternative to DVD, but with the instant gratification of an online rental.
A filmmaker once remarked that the issue with DIY is the "TRUST FACTOR":
People don't trust too many places with their credit cards and feel safer with big companies that have built a solid reputation. Well at Dynamo, and some other DIY services, the payment method is secure. Rob Millis explains:
"The key is payment process and protecting information". Dynamo does not handle any payment information directly. They rely only on PAYPAL and AMAZON. Dynamo does not receive any of that confidential information so as not to risk anything going wrong. They just confirm that one is approved rather than handling payment info.
What about GENRE?
What kind does Dynamo work with and which ones do well with the service:
Most of their success is with DOCUMENTARIES.
"They have the highest value and there are a lot of reasons for that," noted Millis.
"Entertainment for its own sake is competitive and as soon as it's online one is competing with mainstream studio product. DOCS have a hook for those interested in the subject matter and hence people are willing to pay for it".
"Dramas are harder to sell. The marketing for them needs to be more powerful than that for docs. Docs are also EVERGREEN. Dramas die off as soon as the marketing stops and are very competitive. There are hundreds of love stories but only one or a couple docs or at most a few about any given specific topic". Millis concluded "One can sustain sales for a doc". However Dynamo still accepts all kinds of films.
In fact the first-ever film rented on Facebook was a Zombie film ("Stag Night of the Dead") hosted by Dynamo that played on the page for $1.99 and then dropped to $0.99 as a special sale.
DYNAMO DIY RULES | DO's & DON'TS:
"The most obvious rule is to be in touch with your audience, especially on Twitter & Facebook". Millis elaborated that in a more vague sense it's best to put oneself in a viewer's shoes. "Think of them as consumers… Recognize that people have a million options. Film needs to be well-presented and easy to consume, make it easy and possible for them to choose your film instead of all their other options". I also note this to filmmakers about theatrical releases and suggest they remember how many choices people have for how to spend their time and money.
Millis exclaimed the "BIGGEST MISTAKE FILMMAKERS make is believing that their film is beautiful enough to compel people to watch it just because the trailer reflects that to some extent." A poorly designed website will not do! "Think about it as a product that is being sold and that you are competing for really valuable time when your audience has a million other really good options available".
Right now iTunes current releases are $6.99 RENTAL for 2 days New Releases for OLDER TITLES it goes down as low to $1.99 or $2.99. Millis thinks iTunes is pricing things correctly. The Dynamo mean average sale price for all sales is approximately $4.00, including shorts and music videos, that amount to approximately 1% of all sales are below $1.99.
Millis told an anecdote that taught the moral of not making content seem too cheap. There's so much for free online and people judge what is priced like a discount bin, hence the $0.99 rule, which is, most of the time, $0.99 makes your film look cheap!
$9.99 seems at the top of what works and sells well. Dramas do well $1.99 - $4.99 ("they see a strong drop off on either side of that," Millis noted). Documentaries can be priced higher – he sees solid sales all the way up to $9.99The best range is $2.99 - $6.99 for most films, except for big films or those with a serious marketing team behind them.
Of course it's always hard to predict what will work or not. For long tail, mid tail, smaller filmmakers the difference between sales of $5.00 and sales of $10,000 in a month is based on the work done with the audience and a good looking player.
Great films with A-list talent sit idle all over the internet because nobody knows they exist, while independent titles that strike a chord with the audience can catch on fire overnight with just a little bit of communication and an appealing web page.
The timing varies, as one would expect because strategies and distribution needs vary. People sometimes do a first release with Dynamo and then stop to do theatrical and DVD and then start again, or others do it later on in the process and get on Dynamo only at the tail end of the sales.
A film that has been heavily pirated can still do good business because the film looks good this way and one can add compelling extra features. One can read about an example of this: UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US (see her Guest Post on Ted Hope's blog.
What's the MOST $$$ made for any one DIY film on Dynamo Player?
This information is regarding Independents, DIY only:
$20,000 per film MAX if it's an independent and with small marketing team. It won't be bigger unless you have serious marketing experience. But Rob Millis encourages: "don't give up even if you have no traction in beginning, you just may have not hit critical mass yet".
"I can tell you that sales typically taper off slowly for documentaries, continuing at a rate of perhaps 10-20% of the original month. If a doc did $10,000 in online rentals its first month, with some dedicated online promotion, then you might expect sales of $1,000-$2,000 per month several months later.
Dramatic features are a different animal, and you can expect major sales drops after promotion stops. A lot of residual interest depends on star power and search results, but dramas get stale faster.
Regarding dollar values, I can't really give a solid estimate in any way that wouldn't be misleading. No matter what number I give, every filmmaker then expects to reach that number. My biggest hesitation is attributing an estimate to Dynamo specifically, which always makes people really excited or really disappointed about Dynamo. In reality, it's about the marketplace, and the online rental market can certainly support revenues of 7-figures for independent films. There really is no limit, practically speaking.
For instance, Louis C.K. just produced his own comedy special and did over a $1mm in sales using PayPal and direct downloads in about a week. He's a well-known comedian, but this was a mid-budget shoot completely financed and marketed by Louis, totally independent. I certainly think his sales numbers would be at least as good if he had used Dynamo, but the success or failure would still lie mostly with his ability to convert the audience.
Beyond that we're talking about differences of probably 10-50% between different platforms, depending on the customer experience."
Dynamo is proud to note that its sales are growing overall, significantly. To find out more about Dynamo email email@example.com or visit DynamoPlayer.com to see an introductory video and sign up.

Orly runs TFC w/ her business partner, co-exec director Jeffrey Winter.

Dynamo doesn't market itself as a true distribution outlet. Customers will be wary to use tools like this. When you have well marketed and trusted brands like Itunes, Amazon and Hulu. But, I think Dynamo player is a good tool. It's just beginning of revolution of distribution for filmmakers on Internet. But, filmmakers need to be wary about giving there baby to just anybody out there. Do your research about these tools.
Jon Reiss | December 29, 2011 4:06 PM
Great post Orly - excellent info!
James | December 29, 2011 3:44 PM
1. Nothing new in this article, documentaries are doing better? Didn't need Dynamo to figure that out.
2. "Exciting" Nothing is really exciting about losing money, too much hype for the Internet, Dynamo, Distrify they all mean well, but let's be honest we indie filmmakers are in trouble, the Internet DIY whatever the hype is, it's just not the answer.
3. Time and energy spent on DIY just not worth it, lesson #09090 connect with your audience, have a great website, how many times can we hear the same tune from the same people? Not a word on how much time and effort spent for that connection, time that will never be repaid. Great to have a discussion about your film, but that's all it is.
4. If that's the best the Internet has to offer, if that's the so called "revolution" well to me it sounds like the Arab Spring, joyful moments and than reality hits hard.
@AudreyEwell | December 29, 2011 1:51 PM
November, has that been your experience with a film? My film was very well marketed in the US by a PR company, we also had a theatrical run in a few countries, etc. I'm just genuinely wanting to know if these figures have been achieved by anyone. We put ours up after the DVD was out and it was already on the Sundance Channel etc (which meant it was also on youtube after the first airing), so I'm wondering if this is a windows issue, at least partly. Did you reach these figures on a film, and if so, when do you put it up? Thanks!

Is anyone actually making 10K a month with Dynamo, or 1-2K after the first one? If so, you shouldn't use my film Until The Light Takes Us as an example as we're not doing anything like that! Sadly, very sadly. But whoever IS, please have them do a guest post. I'm clearly not doing it right. Although we've had it up on our site for what, over a year now? Maybe 15 months? If you do want to see how we've laid it out, it's blackmetalmovie.com. But I'd be more interested to see what the 10K doc has done!
Also - I like Dynamo. I'm not saying this as a cut at all. But either these figures are high, or I'm doing it wrong. and I hope I'm doing it wrong, b/c 21K - 33K in a year off a player on your own page would be a really good thing.

Superb Ocean-Front Condo
Review submitted: September 1, 2012 Date of arrival: December 1, 2011
This three bedroom condo is beautifully furnished and all the appliances and equipment are top of the line. The owners have spared no expense in providing a comfortable, relaxed setting. Views from the balcony are awesome, whether it be sunrises or cruise ships disembarking from Port Canaveral. The pool which is just a few steps away is one of the largest in the Cocoa Beach area. The sandy beach is accessible by a very short boardwalk. There is an abundance of beach equipment and beach towels available in the condo. My wife and I spent four months in this condo last winter and are looking forward to spending five months during the upcoming winter. The Cocoa Beach Pier is a short walk away and there are numerous good eating places of all tyoes within a short ride. There are also a number of good reasonable golf courses in the area as well as a number of nature preserves. What other benefit of this condo is the presence of an on-site manager in the event that any problems should arise. My wife and I would recommend this property without reservation.

Great Place in a Storm...

From the McMahon Family -24 June to 1 July 20 2012...
To be honest, the pictures on the website don't do justice to this Condo. After a 15 hour drive from Northern Virginia during Tropical Storm Debby, we all found that this Condo was not only enjoyable, but very well equipped with a great view of the ocean.
We highly recommend this as a great place to enjoy Cocoa Beach, The Kennedy Space Center and all of the attractions in Orlando…

Perfect place
Review submitted: July 26, 2011 Date of arrival: July 2, 2011
This condo was everything our family was hoping for - plenty of room and nicely decorated, clean, ocean front with a great view, nice pool area, and much relaxing time spent just being together! We enjoyed drinking our coffee on the balcony in the morning and listening to the ocean. The property managers were helpful from time we began our reservations until we completed our visit. We would not hesitate to rent this condo again and hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Awesome condo and location!
Review submitted: January 6, 2011 Date of arrival: December 27, 2010
We stayed at this lovely condo the week after Christmas. It is a beautifully maintained condo and property right on the ocean. The view of the beach, ocean and even of the Cocoa Beach Pier was fantastic from the balcony. We walked down the beach to the pier for dinner one evening. The owner was very friendly and gave us a lot of good information about the condo and area. The property manager was wonderful and very helpful with our son who needed help gaining access to the wi-fi. I have already recommended this condo to a friend, and would recommend it to anyone.

Ridley Scott's return to the sci-fi genre is a glorious extravaganza for the eyes, stunningly designed in such a way that while obviously the technology has improved since Alien's release in 1979, this 2012 creation could still work visually as the predecessor to that '79 sci-fi horror film. Scott's Prometheus is also one of the few films that legitimately deserves to be seen in 3D. The 3D helps immerse you in this cold alien world, without gimmicky excesses or lengthy lapses when the format isn't put to use brilliantly.
However, the story itself is actually a bit of a letdown, with a third act that feels cobbled together and forced into a direction that doesn't play well with acts one and two.
The Story:
The less you know, the better. Scientists Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) have discovered that cave drawings created thousands of years apart all indicate the presence once upon a time of an alien life-force on Earth. Shaw believes these aliens created humans and that they want us to seek them out for answers as to how and why we came to exist.
Fast forward and Shaw, Holloway, a handful of additional scientists, and the spaceship Prometheus' crew have been in suspended animation for years (necessary because of the voyage's length), watched over by an android named David (Michael Fassbender) who spends his hours watching old movies and learning languages and who has his own objectives to accomplish on this mission. They awaken on a distant planet which promises to hold the key to Earth's mysteries. Funded by the Weyland Corporation, represented by the no-nonsense Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron), the scientists have made this incredible journey in hopes of discovering the intelligent life-form that created the human race on Earth.
However, once they start to explore this alien landscape, it becomes quickly evident the aliens are not going to provide the scientists with the answers they were expecting. And it also becomes increasingly clear this alien race doesn't hold the lifeforms it created in high regard.
The Bottom Line:
Scott is a master at the genre, and we welcome him back home with open arms. And if he wants to delve back into this alien world again, we'll show up to see the results of his efforts. But Prometheus, as absolutely gorgeous as it is to look at, doesn't quite live up to the hype.
Ridley Scott and screenwriter Damon Lindelof do a terrific job of building up the tension over the course of the two hour running time, however the big payoff isn't quite as satisfying as we'd hoped. Fortunately, none of the film's shortcomings have anything whatsoever to do with the cast of Prometheus as Scott's gathered together a fine group of actors at the top of their games to bring his tale to life. Noomi Rapace is the prequel's answer to Sigourney Weaver, and Rapace shows again here why audiences and critics lavished her with praise for the performance she delivered as Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Charlize Theron's coolly controlled performance as Meredith Vickers shows an impressive amount of restraint. She's tough and unquestionably in charge of the operation, waking up from stasis and immediately forcing herself into a series of push-ups. Idris Elba provides a few lighter moments as the ship's captain, but it's the performance of Michael Fassbender as the android David that truly stands out. Fassbender doesn't make a single misstep as this synthetic human who studies us - including surreptitiously spying on our dreams - and appears to find us infinitely fascinating while at the same time holding himself above his human creators.
Overall, Prometheus is worth seeing on the big screen - in 3D - but revise your expectations downward before sitting down to enjoy Scott's return to sci-fi. It's beautifully crafted, has a decent amount of thrills (but no real scares), and even includes scenes that would have fit snuggly in Alien, but there's something lacking in the story which denies Prometheus from attaining Alien and Alien 2 levels of brilliance.
Prometheus was directed by Ridley Scott and is rated R for sci-fi violence including some intense images, and brief language.

Okay, here is Grandpa's list of best running backs (and I've seen in person every player in the record book since 1964, except for the years 1987-1989, when I was on a "deep cover" assignment, and "out of the area," so to speak). I have evaluated the talent (1) pre-Snyder era and (2) post 1989. I have tried to evaluate the pre-Snyder talent within a prism of how would that player have fared playing within the Snyder system, and with good surrounding talent on the O-line, circa 1993-2003. Remember, the pre-Snyder guys didn't boost their stats on cupcakes like Akron and W. Ky, and La.Monroe. In those days KSU was everyone else's cupcake.
I offer few comments on the players from 1989 on because most posters here have a good idea of that talent, but my vote for second best (after Sproles) is a player from the pre-Snyder era, and I'll offer reasons why I think he ranks second best of all time.1). Mack Herron (2 seasons, 1968, 1969). Mack played mostly out of the slot-back position, but he would line up in a deep I formation on occasion. He was 5'5' but weighed at least 210 pounds. As fast as Sproles, but POWERFUL. He is 5th on the all time total career all purpose yards. He is 1st in career all purpose yards average. He has the 3rd best single game all purpose yards (Sproles has the first and second best in that category). He led the 1969 team with 52 receptions. These are just a few of his highlights from the record book. Now, Mack came from the mean streets of Chicago. I am not talking out of school when I say he had, shall we say, some character problems. Those are historically documented in the press. He played a few years for the Patriots and he made a living for awhile playing Canadian Pro football. If (a big if) a Coach like Snyder could have straightened him out, he would have shattered every record imaginable. There is no doubt in my mind that he was the most physically gifted player to ever strap on a Wildcat helmet. Now, a disclosure, so you can judge whether my ranking is clouded by the following: When I was a 9th grader, my buddies and I would go to Ahearn on Saturdays and wait our turn for the challenge basketball games (you know, where all the old guys play b/ball at lunch now - I played some mean ball back then). Shirts and skins, you win, you keep the court - you know the drill. It's OUR turn. I weigh maybe 130 pounds and I'm 5'9". I'm guarding MACK frickin HERRON. He's 5'5 and he can dunk the ball - and he did - a lot!!!!. But I stole the ball from him ONCE ... no kiddin! Stripped HIM! But we did not hold the court. (And as a teaser, I'm working on a color piece about Ahearn in the 1960s - and yes - it will delve into those pesky facility SECURITY issues we've touched on before in these posts).
2. Cornelius Davis (3 seasons, 1966, 67, 68). Think Daniel Thomas. Same build and running style (but his spin move probably was not as good as D Train's) Cornelius played on some of K-State's worst teams. His sophomore year (66) KSU was 0-9-1. Vince Gibson came the next year. Davis was K-State's first 1,000 yard in a season rusher. He still ranks 9th in total rushing yards. He had six 100 yard rushing games in 1966. Still ranks 20th in all purpose yards. Played for a few years in the pros. Great character guy. Now, if Snyder had this guy for three years, he'd rank in the top three for total rushing yards. A great running back.
3). Isaac Jackson (three seasons, 1971,72, 73) A lot like Josh Scobey. About 5-10, fast, shifty, and powerful. Still ranks 6th on all time rushing list and 6th on all purpose yards list. A lot like Tyrell Davis, who played for the Broncos. Snyder would have loved this guy.
Now, a further disclosure. Earlier I stated that I had "seen" all of the players in the record book who have played since 1964. And this is true. Technically. But starting around 1978, in the depths of the Ellis Rainsberger coaching era, and until Snyder came in 1989 (and we've dealt with '87 and '88) my pre-game routine involved going to Aggieville for breakfast. Bloody Marys - extra celery. And because I don't like to drink on an empty stomach, I was eating quaaludes - by the fistful - and in addition to their nutritional benefit, the sedation was helpful - no absolutely necessary - in light of what was sure to come in those days at KSU Stadium. So, I'm sorry, but while there were some fine running backs from about 1978-1989, the haze from those days simply has not lifted - I can't help.
So here's my list:
1. Darren Sproles (I simply feel privileged to have seen him play; a blessing really).
2. Mack Herron
3. Josh Scobey
4. Cornelius Davis
5. Daniel Thomas

Volleyball sweeps; almost at full strength
Despite a handful of losses that resulted from injuries, the Rams' volleyball season is a success and during their match against Skyline College the squad was healthier than they've been in weeks.
Volleyball falls to Dons at home
City College Women's Volleyball, seeded No. 9 in Northern California and No. 23 in the state, played their first match as a ranked team against De Anza College on Sept. 30.
The two teams, who tied for second place in the conference last season, went to five sets in City College's second match of conference play this season.
Team to recruit after solid season
By Bontã Hill
As the program continues to grow, the women's volleyball team becomes more of a threat to the competition with each passing season. This year was one of the best seasons in the team's history, leading the Rams to their second playoff berth in four years.

Return to New@NCPR NCPR Home
This summer, North Country Public Radio will continue its work with area teenagers to develop an online space for youth at a three-day retreat at Paul Smith's College, Paul Smiths, NY. The retreat will allow a group of 8-12 teens time to brainstorm and begin to create a website, with the North Country Public Radio web staff lending support and guidance. The station is seeking high-school students who are interested in participating in this opportunity, scheduled for the week of July 8th. The youth website project is made possible courtesy of a grant award from Verizon Foundation.
"The dream is to provide isolated rural youth with a virtual gathering space-a space that will be real and meaningful because it is built by teens," said Ellen Rocco, NCPR station manager. "We're grateful for the support from the Verizon Foundation that is making this dream become a reality."
Three Verizon regions came together to sponsor the NCPR request of the Verizon Foundation: Syracuse, NY (including Central, NY and the North Country), led by Thomas Owens; Albany, NY (N. East NY State), Marion Mittler; and Burlington, VT, Beth Fastiggi.
"Teens in the region will now have a virtual technology home to call their own," remarked Verizon's Thomas Owens. "We're excited to help make this happen for so many people. NCPR's ambitious plan to involve our young people in today's exciting web-based world, will help prepare them for digital economy."
The retreat will be led by NCPR's webmanager, Bill Haenel, NCPR's web outreach coordinator, Dale Hobson, NCPR's project coordinator, Shelly Pike, and student coordinator, Jeannette Aubrey. The goal is to introduce the new teen space by late fall 2002.
"NCPR and the Verizon Foundation are offering area students the resources to overcome some of the challenges of rural living by making a new community online," commented Shelly Pike, project coordinator. "Teens who might never have met will now be able to teach each other, learn from each other and entertain each other. The possibilities are almost endless. It's exhilarating to be part of a project that is fresh and forward-looking."
High school students
with an interest in computer graphic design and the web, may contact coordinator
Shelly Pike by phone or email (firstname.lastname@example.com) to be considered for participation
in the July retreat.

Promoted from the FanPosts to the front page by Cannon Jacques.
In an article over at Sherdog.com, Corey Hill talks about the fight at UFC Fight For The Troops, the gruesome leg snapping, and his future in the sport.
His take on what happened:
"My corner and I felt I'd won the first round," said Hill of his brief clash with Hartt. "There's a certain amount of things that have to line up to be perfect. Everything was lined up. I threw a kick. He checked it."
"The minute I landed it, it was like my body was going off that something was wrong. I immediately extended my arms like, 'My leg, my leg, my leg! No!'" he said. "I knew something was wrong. When I tried to plant it and it wasn't there, I knew something was wrong."
On why he didn't tap out, and instead tried to get a kimura:
"It was funny, 'cause it was there," laughed Hill. "Looking at my ankle, I knew something was wrong… but I'm like, 'Yo, can I get him with the Kimura?' Obviously I couldn't finish it. I was in too much pain, I was just probably protecting myself."
"I remember lifting my head up and I looked at it and I saw the bottom of my foot. I'd never seen the bottom of my foot before," said Hill.
What does he have to say to people who think he is too skinny to fight?
"I've always been a thin guy with not a lot of body fat," said Hill. "I walk around on normal days at 166 [pounds]. When I train, I'm in the low 60s, so it makes sense to cut a few pounds rather than fight these guys that are 185-200 pounds cutting down to 170. If they think this guy's too skinny, that's their opinion. I have people on the other side that say that my body type's the perfect frame to win a world title."
"Kick something as hard as you can," he said. "I don't think it matters if you're a big guy or a small guy, you kick something as hard as you can and it runs into science. Action and reaction. For it to snap -- the perfect check, the perfect knee. If you noticed in the first round, I landed some killer leg kicks. That's why he checked. This is why this happened."
But he fully intends to fight again, and he aims for the top:
"People are like, 'Wow, you want to rush back into that after your injury?' People that aren't in love with things don't know how hard it is to walk away from them," said Hill.
"I started this to win a belt," he said. "It's a little confusing when things like this happen as far as a mental setback, but physically, if my body is willing, I'm going to get back out there. I'm looking forward to making big news with the comeback."
Power to ya, Corey. But it wouldn't hurt for you to put a little meat on them bones.
Some other interesting bits from the article:
* The emergency crew couldn't give Hill painkillers, because the IV kept popping out of his thin arms.
* Lorenzo Fertitta and Dana White called Hill at the Cape Fear Valley Medical Center to wish him a speedy recovery.
* The UFC paid for his medical treatment, and even left an employee with him for six days in the hospital.

Dirt-Cheap Loans on New Homes
Interest-rate buy-downs aren't new. In fact, builders, private home sellers and buyers have long been able to pay an extra fee to buy down the interest rate on a home loan. The extra fee, payable upfront, is priced in "points," and each point is equal to 1 percent of the loan amount. For each point (or partial point) that's paid, the interest rate on the loan is reduced by a set amount that's determined by the lender. Homebuilders that offer the incentive pay the extra points on the borrower's behalf as an inducement for him or her to buy a home.
Some buy-downs are temporary, which means the interest rate is reduced only for one, two or three years, after which the rate rises to a fixed figure for the remainder of the term. But most builders today offer a buy-down that's good for the full 30-year term of the loan.
Dan Klinger, president of K. Hovnanian American Mortgage in Boynton Beach, Fla., describes the buy-down as "the incentive that keeps on giving."
"Over a 30-year period, it's a tremendous amount of savings," he says.

We are still under the influence of high pressure, which means our forecast will continue to stay quiet for much of the week. We'll continue our warming trend all week long, reaching the 80's again for high temperatures by Friday. As for low temperatures, we'll see them drop into the 40's on Wednesday and then the 50's for the rest of the week.
The Halloween forecast looks great! You can expect clear skies and comfortable temperatures. The beginning of trick-or-treat around 5pm will see temperatures in the lower to mid 70's and by the end of the festivities (around 9pm) we'll see temperatures in the upper 50's to lower 60's.
Our next weather maker will head this way in the beginning of next week. Sunday evening into Monday we can expect showers and maybe a thunderstorm or two as a cold front moves through the area. After it passes, we'll cool off a little again.
Enjoy the last of this week's cool weather before we warm up again!

Goat Hill Tavern

4.13/5 rDev +5.1%
The Goat Hill Tavern opened in the 1940s, which is well before Orange County was "Orange County". And ironically, for being one of the older establishments in Orange County, it is one of the least "Orange County" bars you're likely to stumble into (or out of). There are no $15 martinis on the menu. They do no serve endangered dolphin sushi rolls over julienned baby seal breast. There is no glam or glitz. Its beer and peanuts. And a lot if weird shit on the walls. That's pretty much it.
This place is the type of dive bar that relishes in being a dive bar (in fact, it is on a number of "best dive bar" lists). It's extremely dusty, kind of smelly, and the floor is covered in peanut shells. The building is split into three nearly equal parts. The center section hosts the bar and all 141 of their tap handles. There are also a few high tables surrounded by stools. One side has additional seating, billiards, and a shuffleboard table. The other is a sort of covered patio with about a half dozen televisions, benches, more pool tables, and some foosball. It is in this area that patrons can smoke, so it gets even smellier in here.
The bartender that poured for me was extremely friendly. We talked beer for a bit and he even gave my friend and I a guided tour of their amazing keg room. He also shared a little bit of the history of the bar with us, which included an old story about them having both Budweiser and Coors on draft at the very same time. This may seem like nothing now, but it was completely unheard of a few decades ago.
The beer selection today is very respectable. A lot of the 141 handles were everyday drafts, but they had a lot of imports, a number of locals, and a few special releases. Stone's Götterdämmerung and Valiant's Jericho ended up in front of me.
Another interesting little piece of information is that the Goat Hill Tavern is a popular hang out spot for Angel fans. There are signed uniforms framed on the wall, and apparently some of the players are commonly seen enjoying a pint there. Jared Weaver even came here to celebrate his no-hitter last year. These are my people.
Ultimately, I don't believe anything I write could fully describe this bar. Imagine a place that provides equal real estate for model airplanes, animal heads, street signs, brewery propaganda, and completely random light fixtures. On top of that they have great beer, friendly people, and dirty bathrooms. In a nutshell… I love it.

This place is awesome! Its the go to spot for locals and out of townees alike. Even on a Monday this place has great traffic flow and is always ready to serve up some cold ones ! The best part about this bar is not only the selection but the atmosphere as well. They have a ton of old taps,
50's era signs etc, hanging on the walls and ceiling.
The outdoor section has a couple pool tables with ski ball stations to keep the vintage vibe. Overall, on a packed night this place can get crowded but still fun! The staff is always courteous but don't put up with bs at all .
Most if not all of the sloppy crew find their way out by way of the bouncers. They play what they want when they want ans serve you a wide selection of craft beer and the basics in the process. Nothing bad to say about this place . The crowd is always great hours are good and beers cold . LOVE IT!

What a dump! ("Dive" is reserved for more classy establishments.)
We could not determine what was more filthy - the patrons, restrooms or manners of their less than charming bar concierge, "Ian." (The latter has fully embraced the career option of pandering exclusively to losers for dollar tips in a jar.)
PS: When you arrive to see a line of cabs in the carpark waiting for the inevitable fares, you kinda get the hint you are about to enter Drunk Central.
Enjoy - if you've had all your shots and consider slumming with trash more than a spectator sport.

This is one of the places where I drank when I first started drinking good beer. It isn't a hardcore beer geek bar but it is great as an entry level place to take friends that want to drink better beer.
Totally different vibe compared with Yardhouse across the street. There are peanut shells all over the floor, people smoke in here, and the tables are a bit sticky.
Very few beers above 8%, with about half the taps dedicated to BMC, heinken, newcastle, pyramid, etc. There are a few decent IPA's on tap but sadly they seem to be past their prime as most of the clientele order pitchers of bud light.
Typical pub food, occasional eye candy, decent prices. I would prefer yardhouse for happy hour but late at night goat hill is a good place.

This is one of those places where you go drink with your buddies in the morning right when they open. No one is there, you can enjoy a good conversation, a good beer(or 6 pitchers) play some pool, smoke indoors, blah blah blah. Oh and the beef jerky from celestinos, a local place right down the street! I hate coming here at night when all the frat boys and bro hoes take over. It seems that when i go i always see at least one of the following, a fight inside, a fight outside, chicks throwing up. Yet, it still does not stop me from coming back to this place over and over again.

Goat Hill is a blue-collar, wood-chips-and-peanut-shells-on-the-floor dive bar. The beer selection, though, is very different from typical watering holes. They have 140+ beers on tap, many of which are top-quality. They always have several seasonal craft brews. I found Stone IRS and Emperial IPA on tap months after they had disappeared from everywhere else. They have several stouts, including Old Rasputin, which is terrific on draft. They also have a number of Belgians (including Chimay), though these seem to be rather over-priced. Many nights the place is completely packed with people, but in the afternoon and early evening it's pretty quiet. They don't serve food other than peanuts.

Came here around 1 pm on a Saturday afternoon, only a few patrons sitting around nursing their own beers and being solemn. I suggest you park in the nearby residential neighborhood to be less visible to the constant police patrolling.
I like the atmosphere, not pretentious, very down-to-earth. You got to see all the interesting things they hang on the ceiling and on the walls. The bathrooms aren't as bad as most people described, I've seen a lot worse.
By 3 pm more people showed up and there were interesting mix of clientèle. Bartenders are friendly and quick, also you can actually purchase their t-shirt.
Vast selections, but nothing that would make you go "wow". During the founder hour I had a pitcher of Racer 5 and pint of Stone RIS for $12, which was awe-inspiring. They had few seasonal stuff like SN Tumbler and Stone 14th Ann on tap.
No complain about the smoking, it's what a bar supposed to be. It's not a hospital or a church, I actually appreciate they did not succumb to the "smoking-ban" that has plagued much of the country.
If you want to sample the rare RR or Lost Abbey stuff you won't find it here. But it's a good bar for people who are looking for good old-fashioned craft beers.

Goat Hill. . . definitely a hidden gem. Just off the 55, you can easily miss it if you aren't paying attention. Walking in, you are overwhelmed with the pungent smell of spilled beer and smoke--actually, pretty gross. Once you get over the smell and make your way to the bar, you realize this place has a shit load of great beer.
Literally, a ridiculous amount of beers on tap. The clientele can be a little lame at times, but it is well worth it for the quality of selection. The guys at the bar are pretty cool, and service is prompt.
Probably not the best spot for a first date, but definitely worth your time to venture out to the Goat.

Ah, the Goat Hill, never been here before, but I've been meaning to try it out. Cigarette smoke is what you smell walking in. It reeks of of this shit; I don't know how they got around the CA smoking laws, but there are people clearly smoking in the tavern which sucks because I like this place a lot. Hung out with DoubleJ and played some pool on the North end where the smoke was light, but there was still a hint of it in the air. But going to buy a beer at the bar you're pretty much punched in the face with that revolting putrid stench. A 4/4.5 atmosphere score plummets because of that. I actually ended up liking the plastic mugs, made me feel strong when I picked up the beer.
The quality of the tap beer was exemplary with the consideration of how much they had on-tap. I had a #9, Murphy's and Black Butte Porter, all tasted as they should, can't really vouch for the 9 as I've never seen it before, but the other 2 I've had, and they were great.
Service is solid, quick if they were at tad slow to pick up on me, but all around nice.
Selection is good, nothing super rare, but anyone will find something here they like, even saw Chimay for $17 a pint, but the rest of the brews are much more reasonable. Tons of pints under $5, saw Racer 5 which I didn't get for $5.75 which is outstanding in Orange County.
I liked this bar a lot when I moved to the North corner and didn't have to deal with the smoke. We're not in Texas, we're in CA, it's not 1975, get the smoke out of the bar, and I'll come back. Goat Hill, I like you a lot, but there are a lot of great beer spots in Orange County, including Heroe's, which this really reminded me a lot of with the peanuts on the floor/down to Earth feel, where I don't have to deal with cigarette smoke, so they're going to get my money in the future.

You got to love the Goat. More beers on tap than you will know what to do with. The prices are reasonable, especially during happy hour. The baskets of peanuts are super cheap and you can throw the shells on the ground. The shuffle board table is in pretty good shape and it is free to play. There are also pool tables, a bunch of tv's, and some random other stuff. You have to admire the huge amount of tap handles hanging from the ceiling. The Goat Hill Tavern is on of my favorite places to hangout. I don't smoke, but it is smoker friendly on the covered patio.

I rode in the MS150 about 15 years ago. It was the hottest day of the year with a head wind for the entire 80 miles of the first leg. Riders - experienced riders - were dropping out by the dozens. Some called it the MF150 after that.
They would throw them in the back of pickups and haul them to aid stations and treat them for heat exhaustion. But I learned a little secret on that ride. At every aid station I would get a glass of ice water and pour it on my head. If you keep your head cool you can take the heat with no problem.
But of course the real, real experienced riders, the greyhounds because that's what they looked like had no problems, they finished the whole 150 miles in one day.March 24, 2012 at 6:57 a.m.

Westbrook needs surgery, out indefinitely
APR 26, 2013 12:38p ET
Westbrook was hurt Wednesday night during the first half of Game 2 of the Western Conference playoffs against Houston when Rockets guard Patrick Beverley tried to steal the ball as Westbrook was getting ready to call a timeout.
Westbrook immediately slammed his fist down on the scorer's table and limped before heading to the bench. He returned shortly after and played in the second half, finishing with a team-high 29 points.
The All-Star is averaging 24 points and seven assists through the first two playoff games. He has never missed a game in his five seasons in the NBA.
While Thunder coach Scott Brooks and general manager Sam Presti would not speculate on how quickly Westbrook could return, it's worth noting that in 2008 former University of Oklahoma player and now Los Angeles Clipper Blake Griffin suffered the same injury. Griffin returned seven games later. Metta World Peace of the Los Angeles Lakers needed less than two weeks to return from a torn lateral meniscus. Thunder officials didn't say how severe the tear is for Westbrook. They also said they haven't decided when the surgery will happen.
"Our team is disappointed for Russell," Presti said in a news conference at the Thunder practice facilities in Oklahoma City. "We know what kind of competitor he is, how much he wants to be out there, but it's a medical decision. Our team as a whole, we've got a resilient group of guys, a lot of character within that locker room and a group that enjoys playing together and has been through some adversities over the last several years that they've been together. We'd expect them to adjust, come together and have different guys step in and play well collectively."
The Thunder will play Saturday night in Houston in Game 3. Oklahoma leads the series 2-0 and will likely be favored to get past the No. 8-seeded Rockets with our without Westbrook. However, what the Westbrook injury ultimately means is an increased strain on forward Kevin Durant.
Back-up point guard Reggie Jackson will likely get the start, despite Brooks not guaranteeing it Friday afternoon, and there will be more minutes given to veteran Derek Fisher, but expect Durant to have the pressure of creating the Thunder's offense.
Durant, who averaged 28.1 points per game this season, is getting 26.5 points per game through the first two playoff games, but more importantly, this is the first significant injury for the Thunder since they came to Oklahoma City five seasons ago.
That means, while Durant is undeniably a superstar, he will be in a situation unfamiliar to himself and the team. Already without an established third scorer, the Thunder are now forced to rely on Jackson, a second-year player out of Boston College and a 38-year-old Fisher, who is playing about 15 minutes per game, at the point guard spot.

President Obama threatens Syria with a missile strike because of its indefensible use of chemical weapons.
Secretary of State John Kerry rhetorically says if Syria hands over its weapons it can avoid this missile attack. Syria actually considers this with the help of Russia's poor excuse for a dictator Vladimir Putin as the negotiator.
Now the far right believes that this pending relinquishment of said chemical weapons has tarnished Pres. Obama's and America's reputation. Seems to me that just the opposite has occurred, and the right wing would rather have these weapons put in even more dangerous hands, than to actually give credit to the Obama administration for stepping up to the plate and making things just a little bit safer for all the world.

Boca Raton-based Consumer Law Group files suit against AG
- 5:40 pm Monday, January 24th, 2011 by Kim Miller
The Boca Raton-based Consumer Law Group has filed a lawsuit in Palm Beach County against the Florida Attorney General's office seeking a declaration that the office cannot investigate the company under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
American Debt Negotiators, as well as Michael L. Metzner, Ran Barnea and Daniel T. Post are also named as plaintiffs.
According to the Jan. 13 suit, the attorney general's office has issued subpoenas for several former company employees and has deposed at least 10 people in conjunction with an investigation into the group's legal practices.

Bombardier Launches Challenger 350
Bombardier Aerospace took the wraps off the Challenger 350–an upgraded Challenger 300 with a new wing, more powerful engines, larger windows and redesigned interior on May 19 on the EBACE show floor. NetJets was also announced as the launch customer for the new $25.8 million twinjet, which is $1 million more than its fraternal twin, which Bombardier will continue to offer. First deliveries of the new Challenger are scheduled to begin in May 2014.
"The Challenger 350 will take our existing Challenger family to new heights," said Bombardier Business Aircraft president Steve Ridolfi. "This aircraft further enhances our leading business aircraft portfolio and will provide our customers with redefined design standards. Passengers will experience new comfort levels as they relax in the completely new cabin, enjoy a purpose-built and intuitive cabin management system and increase their efficiency."
According to Ridolfi, the changes in the Challenger 350 reflect feedback from existing Challenger customers, as well as from NetJets. "Based on our owners' and operators' needs," he said, "we have taken the world's best-selling super-midsize jet and further increased its capability to better meet the growing requirements of our Challenger customer base worldwide."
Notably, the Challenger 350 has a new wing with canted winglets that make the wingspan nearly nine-feet wider (at 69 feet) than its predecessor. The longer and stronger wing allows both for an increased mtow of 40,600 pounds–1,750 pounds more than the Challenger 300–and around 750 pounds more fuel capacity. With the extra fuel, the Challenger 350 has an NBAA IFR range of 3,200 nm with eight passengers, 135 nm farther than the 300.
The Challenger 350's pair of Honeywell HTF7350 engines produce 7,323 pounds of thrust each, which is about 500 pounds more thrust than the HTF7000s on the Challenger 300 but with roughly the same fuel consumption. Thanks to the extra power from the HTF7350s, the new jet will be able to climb directly to FL430 quicker.
The Challenger 350 also features an entirely new interior that lets even more natural light into the cabin thanks to its 20-percent larger windows, which are 2.5 inches taller than those in the Model 300. Featuring Lufthansa Technik's niceHD cabin management system, the cabin includes contemporary seats, a new modular galley and a side-ledge with metal trim.
At the front end, the Challenger 350 sports the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced avionics system. Features of the new avionics include synthetic vision, dual inertial reference system, a completely paperless cockpit and MultiScan weather radar. The new avionics will provide pilots with increased situational awareness and reduced pilot workload.
Bombardier converted its original Challenger 300 prototype to the full Challenger 350 configuration and has been flying it with these upgrades since March. While it didn't bring the aircraft to EBACE, the company does have a cabin mockup of the new aircraft at its EBACE booth in Hall 7.

LONDONDERRY — Beverly Ford came to the senior center with a notebook and a list of things she wanted to accomplish.
That included learning how to download her iTunes account, manage passwords and navigate her iPad.
Ford was one of several local seniors participating in ASK, or Ask Some Kids, technology workshop Saturday. It was hosted by the middle school's FIRST Lego team, the Piratechs.
The free technical support session gave older citizens a chance to bring in their devices and get help from computer-savvy students.
"I came last year when I first got the iPad," Ford said. "And I'm writing everything down."
Ford showed off her notebook full of notes. She carefully marked off every item completed on the list.
Helping seniors is part of the Piratechs' mission, said team advisor Kim Fusaris. She and husband Paul have led the local Lego students for several years.
Fusaris said most of the students have been together for many of those years.
The team's work includes three pieces: the robotics challenge, a project piece and a teamwork challenge.
In this case, it was a team mission to help seniors learn about technology
"We pick a problem and they create a solution," Fusaris said. "The robots are one thing; this affects more people and helps more."
Lucille Doerr brought her laptop to the center to brush up on her skills.
"I've been here a couple of times," Doerr said. "They are so smart."
She said she hopes more seniors will take advantage of the computer help.
Eighth-grader Carolyn Stoller said it's important to teach others the way around a computer.
"Technology is a big part of our lives," she said. "And it doesn't always do what you think it will do."
Senior Tony Peter joked with the students and said he was in the state of "total confusion," but was learning a lot. Peter was working on downloading some items and got expert advice from the students, he said.

Bedfordview suburb is one of the top three upmarket garden villages in South Africa. Bedfordview is a 20 minute drive from Johannesburg International Airport and provides easy access to Johannesburg, Sandton and to the East Rand. Bedfordview is an affluent town on the East Rand which is situated in Gauteng, South Africa.
It is a town that is always full of life, bustling and beautiful with never a dull moment. It is vibrant and is the central hub of luxury, leisure, shopping, wining and dining and entertainment! If you are looking for fun, food, networking or mere relaxation, Bedfordview is the place for you. Around every corner you'll find something different, something new to look at - an entertainment extravaganza or an array of attractions. This is where you find the amazing Eastgate Shopping Centre, Johannesburg's first 'super-regional' shopping centre. It is one of the largest centres in South Africa. The shopping experience comes with more treats such as the finest restaurants, coffee shops, fast food outlets and cinemas. The place is unique and with touches of sophisticated finishes adding value to this shopping centre.
There are lots of nearby attractions. Absa Money Museum is home to the largest collection of money used in South Africa's past in the world. It is fascinating in many ways, such as it is the only banking and money museum in the country. The Apartheid Museum is the story of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. South Africa has many flea markets, but one of the biggest that has just about everything, and is close to the Eastgate Shopping centre is Bruma Lake Flea Market. Another place of interest is the Art Gallery which has grown over the years to become the largest collection of artwork in South Africa.
Bedfordview truly is "the social butterfly of the City of Gold..."

Under the current NBA CBA the Soft Cap is likely to be somewhere Just under $55M. The Warriors already have just under $50M commited to 10 players for next season. This just does not seem to leave any room for signing the "Big" we have all heard they intend to sign. This would mean they would need to do a sign a trade (ala David Lee) to make this add. But just what high dollar contract could we actually trade that we would want to trade? I just do not see any team being kind enough to take Biedrins off our hands in such a trade.
We have also heard that the NBA would like to begin phasing in a Hard Cap with the yet to be bargined new CBA. I am starting to think that the Warriors believe this Hard Cap will eliminate the restrictions of the current Soft Cap and allow them to spend more. If say this Hard Cap were to be set at $65M and there would no longer be a Soft Cap then the Warriors would have $15M to spend signing this much desired "Big".
What say GSOM?

After five of the first six batters went down on strikes Friday at Evergreen Hollow Park, it seemed the inaugural Cross Creek Classic was destined to be remembered for wind chills in the 30s and even colder hitting.
But freshman twins Anni and Kadi Borries made sure that the first annual nighttime battle between longtime rivals Teutopolis and St. Anthony would be remembered for offense with a pair of 250-foot homers to highlight the Lady Shoes' 14-6 win against the Lady Bulldogs.
Anni's blast — a two-run shot onto the road beyond the leftfield fence in the third — helped T-Town (9-1) build up a commanding 12-1 lead. Kadi then put the brakes on St. Anthony's comeback attempt with a two-run blast to dead center in the sixth to provide the final margin of victory.
The Borries twins finished a combined 5-for-7 with six RBis.
"Those were two shots," T-Town coach Rich Niebrugge said of the homers. "Both Anni and Kadi have taken a few swings. That is not luck. That is practice. That is hard work.
"They are opening a lot of eyes, and they are reaping the rewards of hard work."
Kadi also impressed in the pitcher's circle, finishing with 13 strikeouts while scattering 10 hits in a complete game victory.
St. Anthony starter Megan Woltman looked poised to go toe-to-toe with Kadi Borries after retiring T-Town in order in the first, but Madison Cowman sparked a T-Town rally in the second and the Lady Shoes never looked back.
Cowman legged out a double to leadoff the inning and wound up scoring all the way from second on a routine groundout. A Holly Dust RBI groundout put T-Town up for good moments later, and the Lady Shoes took total control with three in the third and a seven-run explosion in the fourth.

Candice Glover has done it again. She's survived another week of American Idol.
Her name was the first one called Thursday night, as Ryan Secrest named the final four contestants.
After what some would call a perfect performance last week, the pressure was on Glover to deliver again, and she did just that, according to Idol judges.
The Beaufort County native performed current judge Mariah Carey's song "When you believe," and former judge Paula Abdul's "Straight Up." According to both Carey and Abdul, Glover took both of those songs and made them her own.
Abdul even surprised Glover at Thursday night's result special.
"I've been watching this remarkable young lady week after week captivating the audience and I've got to tell you, I was really moved that you shared your beautiful vocals on a song that's been a best friend to me," Abdul said to Glover. "I'm a big fan, and I've got to tell you, I'm the biggest fan ever now."
Glover will perform in the top four next Wednesday night.
If she makes it to the top three next week, there will be a Hometown Hero Parade in Beaufort County in her honor, something all of her Lowcountry fans can't wait for.

Albany -- Embattled Phoebe Putney Hospital C.E.O. Joel Wernick says he has no plans to resign.
The Dougherty County Medical called for Wernick's resignation after the hospital filed a defamation suit against Charles Rehberg. Rehberg works for a group of Albany surgeons and helped gather information on Phoebe Putney's billing of uninsured patients.
Wernick says he has received only support from the Hospital Board. "I am not planning to go anywhere. I have gotten many, many calls from members of the medical community expressing their support of the Hospital and myself. I have been quite frankly humbled."
Hospital Board Chairman John Temp Phillips said "We are solidly behind Joel. Joel has done an outstanding job."
Wernick said charges of a secret Cayman Island offshore account are untrue. In 2001 Phoebe set up a captive insurance company called Grove Pointe Indemnity in the Caymans to save money on their malpractice insurance.
Wernick says using the offshore malpractice company has saved the Hospital more than two million dollars in premium costs.

The New York Islanders have finally embraced the new NHL. By that I mean they are following the recipe put forth by the past two Stanley Cup Champions the Penguins and the Blackhawks. Guerin has already been in a Islander uniform once why not go back for seconds? With a young core of Tavares, Moulson and Okposo it could really benefit the Islanders and their young core to have a seasoned veteran by their side.
The consensus of the blog seems to be that the playoffs are out of the picture, but that something needs to be done both to improve the product on the ice and to help our young prospects grow.
That was supposed to be Doug Weight's job, but he is increasingly regarded as a liability on the ice. He certainly does not seem to be up to playing on one of the top two lines.
What to do then? Some have suggested a trade. Apart from the fact that a trade would mean giving up assets that we cannot spare, no one wants to trade right now. At the recent GMs meeting, there was all of one--count em--one minor trade between the Habs and the Avs and for the life of me, I could not tell you the players' names much less anything about them.
Not hard to figure out why. The teams that are struggling do not want to anger fans by running up the white ensign this early in the season. The teams that are not want all of their veteran talent so that they can keep winning. Some teams, like the Bruins, Canucks, and Devils, do have cap issues, but can and are deferring them because of players on LTIR. This is unlikely to change before late January and early February by which time it will be a largely futile gesture which will, again, cost this team assets it cannot spare.
The answer may be bringing back Billy Guerin. As the quote above reflects, he has been here before and knows a lot of the guys. He knows what it takes to win and will demand accountability. Plus it was my understanding that the main rub for him was Gordo who is no longer in the room.
If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to share.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Because Georgia is grossly understaffed with New math and science teachers, Governor Perdue has signed a bill into law giving those teachers some incentives.
The new law allows new secondary teachers with math or science certifications to start at the salary they would have obtained after working for five years, they would then get a step increase each year for five years. After that, their pay increases will be tied to student performance.
But is it fair? Bill Scheer has taught math for almost 30 years. He says while starting off new teachers at the pay of folks who've been teaching for years, may not seem fair, it's driven by supply and demand.
Scheer said, "We don't have enough good math teachers. We have people that have some knowledge of mathematics so they're trying to pull those people in, ground them in basic pedagogue and take them into the classroom. Yeah, let's pay them for that first year to attract them and then hopefully work with them so we can keep them."
To encourage elementary teachers to improve their math and science skills, the Governor's proposal also provides a $1,000 annual bonus to elementary teachers who hold a math or science endorsement.

A family's home in Mandan is a total loss -- one week before Christmas.
Stephen Adams and his daughter came home to find their home filled with smoke.
Adams' oldest daughter was at school.
There was no one home at the time -- except the family dog -- who died in the fire.
Stephen Adams says, "They said it was a fire going on. Opened it up. Smoke just started coming out. Black smoke. Called for my dog. Tried to get him out. I couldn't step foot in the house. There was so much smoke blinding my eyes and everything. Next thing you know it started going up in flames."
The cause of the fire at 144 Countryside Lane is under investigation.
Everything -- including the family's Christmas presents -- was lost.
Donations are being accepted for the family.
There's an account at Wells Fargo Bank.
