All Natural Scalp Treatment for Thinning Hair
ProVia is a clinical-strength hair thinning therapy with Procapil 2.5% scalp treatment. In clinical testing, this patented complex of natural botanicals extract and key nutrients has been shown to help reduce premature hair loss and thinning hair. Procapil is a natural, clinically proven ingredient that prevents and reverses hair thinning and loss of hair.
The amazing thing about ProVia is that clinical studies have shown Procapil 2.5% works as effective as other leading ingredients on the market but without the side effects, harsh chemicals or smell. It also blocks DHT effects (DHT is a harmful hormone responsible for most cases of hair thinning and baldness). It protects and repairs hair follicles and thickens the root bulb and hair sheath.
Procapil is a patented complex of natural botanical extracts and key ingredients.
ProVia-2 will strengthen and repair hair follicles and thicken the root bulb and hair sheath. It also blocks DHT, a hormone responsible for most cases of hair thinning and baldness. ProVia-2 is paraben free.
Under exposure to 2 ppm peptide (i.e. 1% PROCAPILTM), 58% more growth that that of the control was obtained and the growth was similar to that observed in the presence of 2 ppm other leading ingredient (10μM). With 5 ppm Biotinyl-GHK (i.e. 2.5% PROCAPILTM), the growth was 121% greater than that of the control.
ppm stands for: parts per million

Here is my list of the top 15 Yankee Prospects...Lets agree to disagree. =]
1. Jesus Montero- The dude can hit and hit for power. His defense sucks, but hopefully the yankees leave him in the minors long enough where he can at least become an average catcher. I mean if they can stomach Posada's defense why can't they live with his? Don't move him to dh or outfield right away!
2.Dellin Betances- This guy has always been oozing with potential, and it was a bummer when he got hurt. But he is finally healthy and showed dominance this season. One of my favorites.
3. Austin Romine- He struggled with offense this season and sucked at defense too. I had hoped he would become a viable choice at catcher if Montero got moved to another position, but now Im just hoping for anything. Still a young catcher and has a chance to improve.
4.Ivan Nova- Doesn't have over powering stuff but got the job done in the minors. Hopefully with Vasquez leaving and perhaps Pettite retiring the yanks give him a shot at the 5th spot in the rotation.
5. Hector Noesi-
6. Adam Warren- Another guy who doesn't have over powering stuff, but knows how to pitch. One of my favorites.
7. Eduardo Nunez- I never thought highly of Nunez as a prospect, he never showed great offensive potential, but he does play good D, and can be a super utility guy for the yanks if the yanks discard ramiro pena.
8. Melky Mesa- This dude is just sexy with the potential he has. He has a great arm and tremendous power. But the downside is that he strikes out a lot. But the potential is jaw dropping. One of my favorites.
9. Brandon Laird- He would make for a decent third basemen in the majors, but arod is blocking him. Doesn't have the offensive numbers you would expect from a first basemen though.
10. Andrew Brackman- I didn't like it when the yanks choose him in the draft. I always thought they could do better. This was even before he sucked in the minors. But he does have somewhat potential even at his age. And he finally seems recovered fully from his tommy john surgery.
11. Gary Sanchez- Basically the second coming of Jesus Montero. Can hit but cant field.
12. Cito Culver- Didn't like this draft pick, but supposedly has a lot of potential. Very, very, very raw.
13. Ramon Flores- Had a good minor league season.
14. Slade Heathcott- Another draft pick I didn't like. Not because he wasn't good, just because I thought there were even better players. But oh well I'm not the scouting director. Struggled this season, but has a cool ass name at least.

The Herald Bulletin
— Most baseball tabletop games on the market are tied to recreating players, teams and seasons from the past. They try to replicate the real-life abilities of those players and bring them to life for the gamer.
Xtra Innings takes a different strategy by focusing on just that, the strategy of the sport of baseball in a one-on-one format within the context of a card game.
As a teaching tool, Xtra Innings is phenomenal. It will teach youngsters and adults alike not just the strategies of the game but the terminology as well. Gamers will have increased enjoyment from watching the sport unfold as a spectator after playing the game only a few times.
As an instrument of gaming for baseball fans who already know the game, it is a challenging exercise of both tactics and patience. Since Xtra Innings is a pitch-by-pitch simulation, it can often, especially for the new player, last nearly as long as a real game. My first contest was six innings and took just over 90 minutes.
The game is really about guessing what pitch is coming and picking the correct card to make contact with that pitch. Each player has two hands of cards. One is all about the pitcher making pitches and the hitter taking swings. The other cards are about getting a hit when contact was made (for the batter) and the defense trying to take a hit away and convert it into an out.
It is around that confrontation that Xtra Innings is based. Just about every card that can be played by either side has a counter the other side will have in their deck, but will they have it in their hand? Each team has an identical deck of cards so the game is about having the right cards in hand at the proper time and minimizing the damage when you don't.
A strength of the game is that it feels like a baseball game is unfolding rather than it feeling like a card game with the baseball theme slapped upon it. It is obvious the game's creators, Dwight Baird and François Doré, have a love and deep understanding of the sport and its nuances. That they have been able to capture it so successfully in a board game context is remarkable.
For me personally, I miss the players. For me, that is why I love baseball, the people who play the game. That is the one place where Xtra Innings misses the mark. The strength of putting both gamers on an even playing field feels great from a competitive standpoint, but the game loses some personality because of it.
But I encourage baseball fans to try the game, or to at least visit the game's website to see some of the cards as well as some videos showing gameplay. It might very well be for you during those long winter months waiting for spring training to begin again.

Shakespeare's Many Dead Haunt the Living This Halloween
By Robert Simonson
The Shakespeare canon is littered with corpses, from overambitious rulers like Macbeth and Julius Ceasar to doomed lovers like Romeo and Juliet.
Shakespeare himself, skeletal in body, but fleshy of face, takes the audience through a series of scenes from his comedies, histories and tragedies. Visitors travel through the A Midsummer Night's Dream' Hall of Fairies, put their hands in Julius Caesar's wounds, pass by Ophelia's Riverbed of Death and sit down to dinner with Titus Andronicus.
The script is composed entirely of selections from Shakespeare's plays. Mark Greenfield conceived and directs William Shakespeare's Haunted House
Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Chashama is located at 111 West 42nd Street between 6th Avenue and Broadway. For reservations, call (866) 468-7619, online at www.ticketweb.com. or by going to www.fauxreal.org.

13 Required Songs For Your Halloween Party Playlist (and Their Refreshingly Spooky Alternatives)
By Becca Gleason on October 21, 2011
This post is not an outcome of laziness, I promise you that. This is merely me taking ownership of some musical ignorance. I know nothing about Halloween music. There. Luckily, I know the self-dubbed "Commissioner of Halloween," Abel Charrow, a dear friend who diagnosed me with my Halloween-shame-itis. After verbally assulting my cultural anomaly, I suggested he put together a Nerdist Halloween playlist. And so he did.
I'm on temporary probation from blogging and friendship because of this infraction. But I couldn't let October end without giving the gift of spoooookey music. Take it away, Commissioner!
There I was, grooving to "Monster Mash" (as is my duty as Official Commissioner of Halloween), when Becca Gleason – trusted Nerdist music blogger – stepped into my office and asked, "What song is this?" I know. You probably need a moment to let that sink in (and to wipe off the milk you surely just spit all over your monitor). It's shocking. It's appalling. Our schools have failed us. Needless to say, Becca's blogging-license is suspended until she learns a little Halloween Party Music 101:
1. Bobby "Boris" Pickett & The Crypt-Kickers– Monster Mash
Let's get this one out of the way. Boris Pickett is the godfather of all Halloween dance songs and "Monster Mash" - a spoof of the "Mashed Potato" – is his crowning achievement. He followed up its successful release with an entire Monster Mash album, and inspired whole slew of Halloween-themed parody acts. Identifiable by the obligatory sounds of dragging chains and Boris Karloff impersonations, most of these parodies don't live up to the original. A couple do stand-out: The Ghoul's "Be True To Your Ghoul" (an oddly violent Beach Boys parody), and John Zacherle's "Dinner With Drac, Part 1," are sure to raise some eyebrows.
2. Stevie Wonder – Superstition
Not into funk? How about some heavy blues-rock from The Black Keys? Their song "Howlin' For You" gets a free pass on Halloween simply for incorporating the word "Howl." Other free passes go to "Howlin' for my Baby," and "Moanin' at Midnight", both, fittingly, by Howlin' Wolf.
3. Bing Crosby – Headless Horseman (from Disney's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow)
Crosby dominates the Christmas classics scene, so why shouldn't he have a Halloween song or two… or an entire radio special? His song, "Halloween," with Victor Moore & Boris Karloff (at 7:00 on this video), is as much a crowd-pleaser as it is a reactionary critique on the modern age (You'll hear what I mean). For a jazzy version of "Headless Horseman," check out this classy cover by Kay Starr.
4. The Clovers/The Searchers – Love Potion #9
Love love-songs about witchcraft, but sick of hearing the same thousand versions of "Love Potion #9″ over and over again? Then give Johnny Otis & Marci Lee's fast, twangy "Castin' My Spell" a spin on the ol' gramophone. I've been hand-jiving to it for three days straight, so the spell must work.
5. Frantics – Werewolf
I don't know much about this one, outside of it's from rainy Puget Sound, and it bleeds nicely into Bat For Lashes' "What's A Girl To Do?" Listen to both, then listen to Cults' "Bad Things," and you got a story about a love-sick werewolf, a moody vampire, and the girl caught in the middle. That's right, you just listened to Twilight.
6. The Rocky Horror Picture Show – "Time Warp"
Easily one of the most danceable songs on the list. But lets face the facts: gender-bending musicals are a bit of an acquired taste and popular dance has changed a lot in the last 35 years. Solution: balance it out with Kanye West's dark, twisted "Monster."
7. The citizens of Halloween Town – This Is Halloween (from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas)
Oh, what I wouldn't give to live in Halloween Town and be best friends with Jack Skellington. Fortunately, Disneyland provides a pretty close experience every fall, when the Haunted Mansion transforms into the Haunted Mansion Holiday, incorporating Nightmare characters and music into the ride. But its tough to compete with the original, particularly the graveyard scene with its playfully frenetic tune "Grim, Grinning Ghosts"- a masterful balance of spookiness and harmlessness. (And if you've never heard the Marilyn Manson version of "This Is Halloween," click here.)
8. Harry Belafonte – Jump In The Line
A Halloween favorite, thanks to its enduring use in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice. If you're looking for a calypso song a bit more on topic, get your conga on to Belafonte's "Zombie Jamboree (Back to Back)." A lot of calypso songs deal with voodoo, so this is just the tip of the iceberg.
9. Warren Zevon – Werewolves of London
The perfect compliment to your Tom Cruise/The Color of Money costume. Not the case if you're dressing as Christian Bale's Patrick Bateman. Then, might I suggest Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer?" David Byrne said he wrote the song imagining "Alice Cooper doing a Randy Newman-type ballad." Same could be said for "Werewolves of London," if you ask me.
10. The B-52's – Rock Lobster
I can't say why "Rock Lobster" ranks so high on the Halloween hit list (its throwback surf-rock about towels and fish), but I'm definitely not complaining. I do have my theories: 1) Kate Pierson's keyboard and shrill screams are reminiscent of Bernard Herrmann's screeching violins in Psycho; 2) the song, which trumpets "lots of trouble" in the ocean, hit the airwaves while the average, American beach-goer was still recovering from 1975′s Jaws and '78′s Jaws 2; and 3) like the schlocky sci-fi movies of their time, '60s surf-rockers were early adopters of sound-distorting electronics (fuzz pedals, synthesizers). Before long, the connection between surf-rock and monsters was cemented in our collective consciousness. Two very Halloweenie works similar to "Rock Lobster" include: The Cramps' "Zombie Dance" and 45 Grave's "Riboflavin."
11. Ray Parker, Jr. – Ghostbusters
This theme song was such a hit when released, it claimed Billboard's #1 spot for three weeks and pulled in about $20 million of the film's $238,632,124 gross (Thanks, Wikipedia). Meanwhile, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince were writing an unlicensed ode to Freddy Krueger, called "A Nightmare On My Street." That song was also a huge hit. So much of a hit, New Line Cinema sued the duo, and then offered them the starring roles in the film House Party. Or so the legend goes.
12. Screamin' Jay Hawkins – I Put A Spell On You
Hawkins music drips with so much of the macabre, you could make a killer Halloween playlist featuring absolutely no one else. My personal favorite: "Little Demon."
13. Michael Jackson – Thriller
Here it is: the one song that guests not only expect, but will mutiny against a DJ who doesn't give it play. Seriously, if your choice is between "Thriller" on repeat for three hours or playing every other song on this list, play "Thriller" on repeat for three hours! As for comparable alternates, there aren't. But consider these two comparably pervasive, comparably expensive-to-license hits: The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy For The Devil" & The Beatles' "Helter Skelter" (you know, thanks to Charles Manson).
There are two musical acts that immediately popped in my head when I started this list, yet both went unmentioned. That's because they so exemplify the spirit of Halloween, that I'd be doing a disservice by singling out one song, or comparing their work against any of the above artists. They are Tom Waits, who is so morbid, Screamin' Jay Hawkins covered his songs (my Halloween favorites: "Little Drop of Poison" & "Whistlin' Past the Graveyard"), and Ryan Gosling & Zach Shields' band, Dead Man's Bones ("Dead Man's Bones" & "My Body's A Zombie For You" being my personal favorites). The Dead Man's Bones album has become to my October what Vince Guaraldi's A Charlie Brown Christmas is to my December.
You can find my full Halloween playlist on Spotify (user: abelcharrow), and let me know what I'm missing by dropping a comment below. For you runners out there, check out my running playlists at www.6n6challenge.com/music

What about Halloween by The Misfits?
I think it's time to do a GhostBusters remake/reboot! It's been 30 years since the original… Imagine what they could do today with the special effects and 3D effects. They just need a compelling backstory to transcend the 30 year gap.
I would add Lazerhawk's album Skull And Shark to the list. Awesome retrowave sounds with a horror theme. I mean, just listen to this:
Let's go collect some bones – Luna Lune
Check this Halloween song out.
I know it has already been said, but there should definitely be some Misfits songs on here. Also, TV on the Radio's "Wolf Like Me" is pretty good for a more modern twist.
While White Zombie's Dragula fills my head this morning, while taking my daughter to school in her Monster High costume, I have to say for sure that there are some songs that should be on your list here and probably tons more from the metal/thrash/death metal genres that I listen to. The following are far more accessible to the masses:
Loreena McKennitt's- "All Souls Night" off of her The Visit album, released on her own record label, Quinlan Road, in 1994.
Type O Negative, featuring the late, Peter Steele's deep and disturbingly fun vocal offerings on "All Hallows Eve", from World Coming Down album released in 1999. And Probably their biggest known song that played on MTV and Much Music in Canada in 1993 is Black No. 1, off their Bloody Kisses album. Truth is, Type O Negative built a career with the spooky sounds of Halloween blended into Goth/Metal since that Bloody Kisses Album through to Peter's untimely demise in 2012. Rest in peace, Mr. Steele, you were well loved and will be missed.
Some other bands and artists that made some theme appropriate sounds are Teenage Head – Disgusteen is an old favourite. Nash the Slash – Dead Man's Curve. Siouxsie and the Banshees with Jeepers Creepers. The Cranberries – Zombie.
I can pull out more just by mentioning Venom, King Diamond, Diamond Head, etc… but where's the fun in that? And I don't have hours upon hours to list more!
"The Scales" on Dictators II, by Spirit of the Ecstasy, here: http://smarturl.it/PROMO_RHAPS
Can't believe nobody mentioned Edgar Winter Group – "Frankenstein"
No lyrics, but ominous and creepy as hell!
shakira – she wolf
the keytones – i was a teenage monster
elvis presley – blue moon
fleetwood mac – rihannon
isolated vocal tracks are pretty spooky too and plenty of bands have them up on youtube – the doors, and nirvana
Please Mr Gravedigger – David Bowie
Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath
Hypnotized – Fleetwood Mac
You need more!
Welcome to my nightmare by Alice Cooper and a few more from him too like Dead Babies.
[…] evening, all. I come with great sorrow to announce that, once again, I still suck at Halloween and my dear friend Abel Charrow has failed once again at making me even […]
[…] Rob Crow's Scariest Songs Mix, 30 Halloween Songs So Good They'll Raise The Dead, 13 Required Songs For Your Halloween Playlist, Halloween Playlist For Cool Kids Decoration Ideas >> Halloween Garland Two Ways, Flying […]
Some more songs on the fun side:
Calling All The Monsters – China McLain
Dem Bones
Nightmare on My Street – Will Smith
Heffalumps and Woozles
Purple People Eater
Nice. This guy put together a good mix too…
Creepy Song: Shriekback- Nemesis
My vote for the best:
Werewolf Bar Mitzvah.
And the remix:
NEW SINGLE "Halloween: I'm The Nightmare in Your Dreams" – SPACE DRAMA (multi-platinum Brit John Ford (The Monks) and Ian Lloyd (Stories)) up on Youtube – just in time for Halloween!
thriller is probbably the best and only likable song as for the others are quite bad
I Put A Spell On You by Bubbles Erotica!
It's an AWESOME coverrr!!!
[…] years ago our own Becca Gleason gave you thirteen spooky jams to take your Halloween playlist from hellish to hellraisingly fun. But, let's be honest, it's been two years, so we're overdue for a new creepy […]
I like your list! Monster Mash is definitely my favorite — and it's good for kids! If you're looking for child-safe Halloween videos/music, these are by far the best:
"Halloween Night"
"Spooky Spooky"
I hope you enjoy! Cheers, Mandy
If you're looking for electronic Halloween music for your party: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c75UVr7GiNI&hd=1

try 'Monster' by Panzer Ag. the chorus of 'Shhhh… it's okay, it's just me.' is perfect.
Wow, this is pure gold! Thank you so much guys, I'll throw a hell of a party with this list (no pun intended)!
[…] There is nothing more fun than a good old fashioned dance party with your friends and neighbors! Do the hokey pokey, limbo and monster mash your way through the night with a petrifying playlist of Halloween dance favorites. […]
Black Magic Woman – Santana
Runnin with the Devil – Van Halen
Somebody's Watching Me – Rockwell
Little Red Riding Hood – Sam 'the Sham' and the Pharoah's
Witch Queen of New Orleans – Redbone

The Haunted House of Rock -Jalil Hutchins
Of course anything off the Dr. Demento 'Spooky Tunes & Scary Melodies for the Halloween weirdness only the Dr could offer~ Happy Halloween Folks!
How about some slow dance music?
I have to plug "Blood Red" by Rose Chronicles.

I don't know if there is a team in the Big 12 that is more off course from preseason expectations than Texas is right now (TCU would be my other guess, but they still look much better). Texas came into the season as one of many teams everyone thought had a chance to win the Big 12 and make it back into a BCS bowl game; now Longhorns fans and national spectators alike are wondering if this team is even going bowling in December. After losing two of the worst games they've participated in in the last 3 years, Texas has a chance to turn this season back in the positive direction with a win against Kansas State, a team they have a hard time beating. Texas is facing a well-coached team that is going to be very physical and very fired up after winning its past 2 games following an embarrassing loss in Week 1. Here's the things I know Texas has to do if they even want a chance at making this a close game.
1) Get Physical and Stop Being a Bunch of Wimps: I know injuries are a part of the game of football. Injuries have occurred in basically every game ever played. But the Longhorns have a severe case of WIMPITIS. You know why top teams like Alabama and Oregon win a lot of games? Because the players are tough and physical and don't get injured after a couple hits. Texas currently has 6 players that are questionable/out, and they haven't even reached the "tough" games on their schedule yet. Some of these are excusable like ankles and concussions, but overall if they don't toughen up soon, Texas will have more on the "questionable" list than on the depth chart.
2) Get Emotional, Get Fired Up: Texas needs to come into this game ticked off, because Kansas State will be. Texas is one of the biggest laughing stocks in the entire nation right now. They need to come into this game angry and with redemption on their mind. The reason BYU whooped Texas? Not just because the run-D is bad, but because BYU came into the game with redemption from their terrible loss to Virginia on their mind. They've got to channel that anger into a very physical performance.
3) Limit McCoy, Play Swoopes: Texas is 1-6 in the past 2 years when Case McCoy attempts more than 15 passes. The strategy? Don't let McCoy reach 15 passes. Instead, incorporate (or start) Tyrone Swoopes. He's got a stronger arm, which automatically makes him better than McCoy, and better athleticism. If McCoy plays the entire game, Texas literally has NO SHOT at winning this game. Just look at Kansas State in 2012 and Baylor in 2011.
4) Fix O-Line: I guess the injuries to Mason Walters and Josh Cochran force this into action. After an overall good year in 2012, this O-line has looked horrific in the first 3 games of 2013 against average competition. The UT backfield, including Overstreed, is the most misused unit on the team right now, and it's mostly because the current lineup can't block. The solution? Reshuffle the lineup. Give Harrison a leading role. If Texas enters the game with the same lineup, expect a poor game on the ground, which will put even more stress on the quarterbacks.
5) Listen to Kenny Vaccaro: "I know exactly what happened. Somebody wasn't taking the dive, somebody wasn't taking the pitch and somebody wasn't taking the quarterback."
Is defending the read option really that simple? I'd imagine so, considering that Vaccaro was a part of this same scheme and had to defend the option a lot last year. It shows how undisciplined these Texas defenders are. Kansas State is going to pull out the read option; EVERYONE KNOWS THIS. Greg Robinson needs to coach these guys to play more disciplined football, or Kansas State, who have 2 dual threat QBs and a great halfback, will destroy Texas with the option.
6) WRAP UP: Tackling may be harder in today's football, but good teams are still getting it done. No excuses here.
7) Play Fast: Texas might as well go back to their "SEC-style" offense, because right now their "uptempo" offense is moving at about the same pace (and with worse results). The purpose of an uptempo offense is to put defenses on edge. They didn't put Ole Miss or BYU on edge. I understand that most of this current team was built for an "SEC-style" system, but that's where Texas's "exceptional" depth comes into play. Move fast, and when they get tired, put a new guy in. Oregon and Baylor don't worry about guys getting tired or negative yardage; they just play. That's why their offenses are consistently explosive. And that's also one of the reasons why BOTH TEAMS BLEW OUT KANSAS STATE LAST YEAR. Texas needs to move at a pace that's at least similar to those two.
This is Texas' do-or-die game. If they can do these, they've got a good shot at beating Kansas State. If they come with the same mentality and gameplay they played BYU and Ole Miss with, Texas has no shot at Kansas State, and maybe no shot at the Big 12.

Vulnerable young adults with learning disabilities kept safe with new card scheme
1:00pm Sunday 29th April 2012 in Countywide news By Helen Barnett
Young adults with learning disabilities will be safeguarded in public with the help of a new card.
The Keep Safe Card, developed by Tendring Council, offers telephone facilities to people with a learning disability, who are in trouble or distress around town.
Shops, businesses and other venues will display a yellow "Keep Safe" sticker to show they belong to the initiative and users will carry key contact numbers on "Keep Safe" cards or key rings to enable them to reach help.
The project is aimed at making people more aware of their personal safety, to feel confident outside of home, and to seek help if they need it. It will also make it easier for those providing assistance to access support for the card user.
The scheme, funded by Tendring Community Safety Partnership will be launched in Clacton on June 20, with hopes to roll it out to Harwich, Dovercourt, Frinton and Walton later in the year.

After the most exciting draft the Jaguars had in recent memory, I am more optimistic then ever about the talent Jaguars acquired this year. The best receiver in college football the past two years, a pass rusher, which in many fans eyes is the final piece to the defense, a real punter, depth at defensive tackle till Knighton gets healthy and Mike " The Hammer" Harris. I'm so confident that I'm talking noise all day at work. Then after I got off work this evening, I decide to turn on the radio to my favorite local sports radio station 1010XL. What is the first word I hear? Punter.
All I heard was whining about how terrible the pick was and some how Tim Tebow got into the conversation, which made me almost turn it off immediately. I thought it would be over soon, than the radio announcer went off on Gene Smith for picking a punter in the 3rd round and how it can't be justified. Enough is enough. If he produces it doesn't matter where he was picked.
Why is the one negative of the draft the biggest news. Look at the over all picture. Some fans are excited about what the jaguars are doing. I am not from Jacksonville, but its sad when the local media talks bad about their own team. How do you expect people to get excited about the jaguars if the local media is not behind them. I was born in Tallahassee, so naturally I'm a FSU fan, but even when the program was in decline the local media was always behind the team.
The Jacksonville Jaguars put Jacksonville on the map and the city has grown since because of it. Sorry, just upset as a true jag fan. I wish Big Cat Country could teach local media on what fans want to hear. Justin Blackmon and Andre Branch have the talent that could push the Jaguars over edge and the Jaguars have the staff to use them properly. Its not the same old Jaguars. Some people are too blind to see that. Go Jags!!!!!!!!

Who? Ok, he is a very minor player that you probably have never heard of. He is so good, he was just DFA'd by Milwaukee. That's actually a good thing, because he can be had for peanuts. One flamed out C+ prospect could do. As back-up catchers go, you could do worse than George Kottaras.
wRC+ is total offensive value. Park and league adjusted. 100 is the average player. 120 is 120% of average etc.
George has a 122 wRC+ which puts him into the top 10 C with at least 100 PA. The lefty could make a good platoon vr. RH pitchers as he has a ~.815 OPS against RHP the last few years (.770 total each of the last two years). He's plays ~60 games a year.
His warts are his D/arm is below average, and next year will be his second arb year. Backup catchers never get much, but even 1m could be too expensive for the A's.
Kurt Suzuki has a wRC+ of 42. His OPS of .519 is terrible but Suzuki is even worse vr. RHP at .480 OPS.
So whether Derek Norris (wRC+ 79) works out as the primary catcher or not, we should have someone else to back him up or fill in if needed. I don't see that in Sacramento. If not this year than next as we could stash George in AAA (I think) till Suzuki is gone. I would love to get some flashy big name SS, but there are some smaller deals we could be doing also.

Inheritance law of Russia
Inheritance law in Part III of the Russian Civil Code. Chapters 61 through 63 of the code are the basic statutes concerning inheritance. In general, the Russian laws concerning inheritance are simple and straightforward. Inheritance tax law in Russia has been non-existent since 2006 when the Russian Parliament abolished all inheritance taxes. However, gifts of real estate properties from individuals other than close relatives are taxed at the standard income tax rate of 13%.[1][2]
Social justice is the main function of the Russian laws on inheritance. One of the main purposes of the law is to take care of those in the family that cannot take care of themselves. If a Russian citizen dies, leaving disabled children or parents, these people are to receive, by law, at least 50 percent of the estate. Otherwise, the state has listed a table of "priorities" for those who are to receive parts of the estate. In the absence of heirs, the estate is declared heirless, and passes to the Russian Government.[1]
Russian law strongly reduces the number of options that a testator has. The priority and disability laws make sure that only certain people can receive an estate. The only real options for a testator are the percentages of an estate that certain levels of priority can receive. Non-relatives can inherit part of the estate, but these are taxed at the flat income rate of 13 percent. Only relatives receive the estate tax-free. In other words, non-relations, while they can receive parts of the estate, are not considered heirs strictly speaking, but persons to whom a (posthumous) gift has been given.
Inheritance cases[edit]
Russian courts of general jurisdiction are competent to resolve inheritance cases. Proceedings must be opened in the last place of residence of the deceased, except for cases where it is unknown, or is situated outside the Russian Federation. In such cases the succession must be opened in the place where the immovable property (or its most valuable part) is situated, but if there is no immovable property, in the place where the most valuable movables are situated.
Russian courts do not necessarily hear the succession proceedings. If there is no dispute, then the local notary public can sanction the acceptance of an inheritance, and can issue certificates for the right of inheritance. Russian notaries public apply Russian law to all activities connected with the protection of the inheritance and with the issuance of the inheritance certificates, even if some of the heirs and/or the deceased are foreigners.[2]
An inheritance must be accepted within a period of six months from the moment of opening of succession. It is convenient that the acceptance of an inheritance can be effected in the name of a foreign heir by his/her representative in the Russian Federation. The certificate for the right of inheritance is usually issued by the notary public after the expiration of six-months. If there is a just cause, this period may be restored after its expiration by a competent court, or by agreement of the heirs.

Until now, scientists have not fully understood how spinal genes behave. So they couldn't develop more effective treatments for the hundreds of thousands of Americans with spinal cord injuries and diseases, like tumors on the spine. But in Washington Thursday, the Allen Institute for Brain Science unveiled what they call the Allen Spinal Cord Atlas, which is virtually a road map to the spine. It is a free online tool that will show researchers how the spine's 20,000 genes work.
Allan Jones, PhD., of the Allen Institute for Brain Science says, "It gives researchers that Ah-Ha moment -- that peanut butter and chocolate moment that says this is, this combined with knowledge that I already had leads me to new insights and breakthroughs."
More than a quarter of a million Americans suffer from spinal cord injuries, including 25,000 Iraq War veterans and even more are affected by Lou Gehrig's Disease and multiple sclerosis.
Sharing this map of how genes look and interact will allow scientists to fix the abnormal ones and connect what they do in the lab to help real patients. Your donations to the ALS Association and the MS Society among other groups have helped fund this $2 million project.

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Chris Myhill in Training for his challenges
Sunday 4 August will see Chris Myhill, a teacher from Ysgol Ty Coch in Tonteg, take on the final part of his triple charity challenge, the Prudential Ride London 100 event.
He will be taking on the challenge of riding 100 miles through London and out into the Surrey countryside, following a course used for the London 2012 Olympic road race. Leading up to this he will not only be running the Blenheim Palace Triathlon in June, he will also be entering the National Lottery Olympic Park run in July this year.
Chris said, ' The Prudential Ride London 100 ride is part of a weekend of cycling activities in London, including a UCI professional road race following my ride later in the day. I will be riding for Macmillan Cancer Support and I am aiming to raise over £1000 to support their valuable work.
'I will be blogging as I train for this event and try to get in shape. This will be a real challenge for me and I hope you can support me as I take on the road to London in 2013. Anyone who would like to follow my progress can visit my blog|.
Debbie Jones, Fundraising Manager in RCT said , 'One in four people diagnosed with cancer in the UK will lack support from family or friends during their treatment and recovery. We believe this is wrong, and that's why we've launched our Not Alone campaign - to make sure that no one has to face cancer alone.
Chris is taking on three challenges of which most supporters would only consider doing once a year or perhaps a lifetime. His superhero efforts are truly inspirational. Time and time again our supporters in RCT go more than the extra mile to help us to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. I'd like to thank Chris for taking on his incredible challenges for Macmillan Cancer Support, if anyone would like to support Chris' efforts please visit his JustGiving page|.
Chris continued , 'I'm delighted to have been given a chance by Macmillan to ride in the wheel tracks of last years Olympians. Their efforts have inspired me to take on this challenge and I hope people can support me and benefit others through Macmillan valuable work.'
Holding your own event or taking part in something like Chris has for Macmillan couldn't be easier. We're here to support your efforts every step of the way. You don't have to take on a mammoth challenge, you could join us at one of our events like the Rhondda Walk on Saturday 8 June or simply turn your hobby into a fundraiser.
All of Macmillan's services are provided for free. We couldn't do this without your help and support. Whatever you choose to do remember you will be helping us make the difference between a good day and a bad day for someone affected by cancer.

Makes 6 to 8 small waffles
These fragrant waffles come together quickly. They're not overly sweet, and they're fun to serve. Tangy blackberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream or mascarpone cheese add the perfect finishing touch.
You'll need a small Belgian waffle iron.
Make ahead: The sauce can be refrigerated a day in advance. Reheat in a saucepan over low heat. Adapted from "Breakfast for Dinner: Recipes for Frittata Florentine, Huevos Rancheros, Sunny-Side-Up Burgers, and More!," by Lindsay Landis and Taylor Hackbarth.
For the sauce:
2 cups (10 ounces) fresh or frozen blackberries, plus berries for optional garnish
2 tablespoons sugar
Juice from 1 lemon
2 tablespoons water, or more as needed
For the waffles:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate (60 to 77 percent cacao), coarsely chopped
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Whipped cream or mascarpone cheese, for garnish
For the sauce:
Combine the blackberries, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan; if using fresh blackberries, add 2 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently and using the back of a large spoon to crush the berries.
Once the mixture begins to bubble gently, cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the berries begin to break down, making sure the mixture does not come to a full boil. Transfer to a food processor or blender; if using the latter, remove the center of the blender lid and cover the opening with a towel to prevent any splash-ups. Puree until smooth. Wipe out the saucepan.
Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve back into the same saucepan, using a flexible spatula to push/scrape it through and discarding the solids. Keep warm.
(At this point, the sauce also can be cooled, covered and refrigerated for a day.)
For the waffles:
Grease the interior of a small Belgian waffle iron with nonstick cooking oil spray. Preheat according to the manufacturer's directions.
Combine the butter and chocolate in a saucepan or in a double boiler over low heat. Once the mixture is melted and smooth, remove it from the heat and stir in the sugar until well incorporated. Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract, then the milk.
Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt, mixing just until incorporated.
Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the iron for each waffle (the amount will depend on the size of your iron) and cook for about 2 minutes or until the waffle iron's indicator light shows it is done.
Serve right away, drizzled with the room-temperature or warmed blackberry sauce. Garnish with blackberries, if desired, and whipped cream or mascarpone.

News: Rick Ross On Joining Law Enforcement, "People Need To Open Their Minds"
Thursday, Apr 23, 2009 11:50AM
On BET's television special "The Rick Ross Story: Deeper Than Rap," the Miami rapper details the reasons behind becoming a corrections officer in the mid-1990s saying it was a job he was asked to do.
While refusing to name any particular parties, the rapper claimed he initially did not want to become a law enforcement employee.
"That was me in the photo, most definitely" Ross said regarding last summer's leaked image of him in a police uniform. "When rumors surfaced, I felt like me going to a radio station giving a yes or no answer wouldn't be a clear depiction of the situation. Because since I was a little kid, I ran with a team. I was politely asked to take a position and most definitely it was a position I ain't wanna take because I was living a whole 'nother lifestyle but it was something the team asked me to do. They gave me a little time period for me to make a few moves, I can't go into why I did it. I can't go into what was happenin'. I didn't understand it at first neither, after a few months I did. The day I was done with my duty, I walked out...I think people really need to open their minds up to what really is a hustle and what surviving is about. And not that I look back on it, I really thank the O.G. for asking me to do that." (BET)
Ross previously explained his motivation for taking part in the BET special.
So what we did was we got with BET and we chronicle my life so people can understand that by the time I was 17 years-old, 18 years-old, I was in a nice home, I was in whips, I was doing a lot of different things and I made a few moves," Ross said in an interview. "If Rick Ross did work at one of these places, it wasn't for the obvious reasons. There's a lot of gold mines around people's faces that they don't really know how to take advantage of...Yeah that picture is Rick Ross." (Big Boy's Neighborhood)
He also hints at how large of a role he had in his song "Valley of Death."
"I'm bigger than a title, bigger than a name," Ross raps. "You can label me the biggest label in the game. Put food on the table, fed the whole city...Call your boy a C.O./But if I really was, wouldn't all these n*ggas undercover be f*cking n*ggas up/Keep it trilla, n*gga never had a gun and badge/Kept a nice watch, smokin' on a hundred sack...And I got two kids, and for me to feed 'em I did two gigs/I shoveled sh*t/I C.O.'ed, so we could bow our head and pray over the meatloaf/I'm lookin' at the big picture/Keep a b*tch with cha/Tryin' to get a bit richer." (Rap Radar)
Former G-Unit associate Bang Em Smurf recently discussed his respect for some corrections officers.
"Shout-out to the boss man, there's a lot of sh*t going on about this C.O. sh*t and homie being a C.O. back in the day," Smurf said in avideo. "I don't give a f*ck about none of that 'cause at the end of the day, Dr. Dre was a she-thing, a drag queen...I got some gangsters that's C.O.'s from my hood...and they get busy. At the end of the day, I bang with a few C.O.'s, not every C.O. but I got a few I did. And Ross a real n*gga, by the way. He kept his word a hundred with me from day one." (WSHH)

Using VisualVM, BTrace & Good Old Web Search
You can think of btrace as a scriptable debugger: you set breakpoints and when your breakpoints are hit some little script gets executed.
First, I wanted to see the animator calls. Those were on the actionPerformed method, resulting in this annotation for a btrace method:
I also needed the object itself, so I used the @Self annotation to get it from btrace:
public static void lnfaction(@Self Object animator)
Now, from the heap dump analysis above I knew that I had a reference to the progress bar here, so I used a bit of reflection to get to it:
println( strcat(strcat(str(timeNanos()), " : animator called "),str(animator)));
Field f = field("apple.laf.CUIAquaProgressBar$Animator", "this$0");
/*apple.laf.CUIAquaProgressBar*/ Object pbar = get(f,animator);
Field f2 = field("apple.laf.CUIAquaProgressBar", "progressBar");
/*org.netbeans.modules.progress.ui.NbProgressBar*/ Object swingbar = get(f2, pbar);
Note how limited you are while writing the script... no method calls are actually allowed except those from com.sun.btrace.BTraceUtils (which are statically imported). Even string concatenation has to be explicit, using BTraceUtils.strcat! Yet, it gives you enough options to progress quite nicely.

Beyond the particular context not interesting everyone (I don't use OSX nor NetBeans...), I appreciated the report of the detective work you did, showing good usage of tools. I knew VisualVM but it is the first time I see how to use BTrace, which is indeed an interesting tool if you can't (or don't want to) alter source code to add println's...
Thanks for sharing!

Field is a decisive part of every competitive campaign, and the best field efforts are based on volunteers. Both of former President George W. Bush's campaigns demonstrated this, the Obama campaign further underlined it in 2008, and it is shown again and again in closely fought races around the country.
Today, most campaigns are contacting more voters in person than they have in decades—the percentage of the electorate contacted has more than doubled over the last 20 years, but volunteer mobilization has not increased to nearly the same extent. Though volunteers are better ambassadors for your candidate or cause than casual workers hired to knock on doors for a few hours a day, too many campaigns still end up relying on paid and poorly trained part-timers for field.
Even well-funded and well-run campaigns for federal office in competitive districts need outside help for their field efforts, and continue to rely on an uneven mix of allied groups and individual paid part-timers and volunteers recruited for canvassing and phone banking.
This was evident during my many months of research on a recent project focused on personalized political communication in American campaigns. The full results are detailed in a new book titled "Ground Wars." It's based primarily on 10 months of ethnographic fieldwork on the Democratic side in two competitive Congressional districts during the 2008 elections: Connecticut's 4th district and New Jersey's 7th district.
I spent hundreds of hours as a participant-observer in these two districts. One major takeaway: engaging and cultivating volunteers is critical to building an effective field operation, and it requires a serious commitment of time and the right approach from professional staffers. Only the best campaigns manage to mobilize enough volunteers to reach all of their targets. These volunteers are not leftovers from some earlier age of pre-modern campaigning. They are integral to the best campaigns in the 21st Century, and they can help your campaign win.
We know volunteers are valuable, but they are also difficult. Structuring a field operation around volunteers means engaging in long-term planning, committing staff time and scarce resources, and of course, a candidate that people actually care about.
You can't rely on "walk-ins." That's why the best field staffers actively recruit and keep people involved. Both the Bush campaign in 2004 and the Obama campaign in 2008 invested heavily in volunteer organizing many months in advance, and reaped what they had sown when literally millions of volunteers made their case on the doorsteps of voters and over phone lines across the country. But even in campaigns like these—ones that carefully cultivate and understand the importance of volunteers—the interface between campaign staff and those who come to donate their time and effort is full of friction that complicates even the best laid field plans. It's a friction campaigns must understand how to accommodate if they're to successfully involve volunteers.
The source of the friction is essentially that staffers and volunteers have different perspectives on what a campaign is and how it's supposed to work. Staffers, broadly speaking, have a vocational approach to politics. Politics is what they do, and doing it well is all about winning. Most volunteers have a broader, more civic and communal, approach to politics. They want to win, but it's also about taking part.
Staffers are part of hierarchically organized campaign organizations meant to serve only one purpose—fighting the election as effectively as practically possible. Volunteers are part of—well, what are they part of, really? They certainly consider themselves to be a part of the campaign, but they are clearly not part of the campaign organization. They don't take orders from staff, and they come and go of their own accord.
To run an effective field effort based on volunteers, campaigns need to take these differences into account, respect them, and make room for them. Consider the two examples below—they're both from a Congressional race in the Northeast that was part of my research for "Ground Wars."
Example 1: The campaign manager and the canvassing director are kicking back with a late night beer and talking about the campaign's field effort. "Like all campaigns," the campaign manager says, "this is, in the end, an enterprise run by two or three adults and a bunch of kids." He continues: "What you and I are doing is like industrial engineering. It's about keeping people in line and finding ways to contact more people in less time at a lower cost, whether that means covering more turf by finding better ways to walk the streets, ways of increasing the contact rate, or whatever it takes."
Example 2: Lucia, a woman in her early forties, has been one of the most energetic volunteers on the campaign. Initially she started volunteering because she liked Obama, but she ended up helping with the Congressional campaign instead, because it was "more fun."
"There is more going on," she explains. But then she shifts gears and starts complaining: "I get the sense that this is really badly organized. It's so old-fashioned—I mean, if you compare it to my old job. That's why I'm happy I'm a volunteer. I can do what I want and then leave when [the staffers] start fighting." She continues: "There are so many egos in politics, and you have to stroke each and every one of them."
It may be grating for staffers putting in 70-odd hours every week to realize that many volunteers regard campaign organizations as chaotic and poorly managed. It may be tempting to dismiss the campaign manager quoted above as unnecessarily cynical, or Lucia as insufficiently sensitive to the time pressures and resource constraints that campaigns have to operate under. But in terms of getting volunteers involved in an effective field effort, the point is not whether the campaign manager or Lucia represents a more accurate picture of what campaigns are really like. The point is realizing the actual potential of volunteer involvement. A good field campaign has to accommodate versions of both views.
The campaign manager's instrumental view may offend the civic sensibilities of some volunteers, but without a persistent focus on the often complex day-to-day logistics of running an effective ground game, field efforts all too easily descend into the kind of confusion that so undermined Howard Dean's orange-hatted out-of-state volunteer effort in Iowa in 2004. But Lucia's view, from the volunteer side, with its emphasis on things being "fun," or the feeling of being "part of something," while also marching to the beat of one's own drummer is at the heart of what campaigns mean for many volunteers (infuriatingly fluffy as it may seem to a hard-nosed political operative interested in generating as many knocks and calls as possible).
Volunteers are not bound by the authority of senior staffers and bristle at being referred to casually as only so-and-so many "bodies" here to knock on doors or make calls. They see themselves as involved in relationships that are reciprocal, relationships where they contribute their time and effort and in return get to make a difference and be part of something larger and meaningful.
If campaigns do not accommodate this view, all but a hard core of regulars and fired-up partisans will drift away, leaving it for staffers and hired hands to do all the hard work of identifying voters, canvassing people by foot and by phone, and turning out the vote. Thus, ironically, a campaign that is single-minded in its instrumental pursuit of victory can thus be less effective than one that is more accommodating—a campaign that makes room for volunteers by accepting that, unlike staffers, they come to politics with a different perspective and conception of what is and ought to be going on.
When someone walks in the door of your campaign office, it is tempting to just hand him a call sheet and put him to work on the phones. That may seem like the best way to "contact more people in less time at a lower cost," to use the words of the campaign manager quoted above. But most volunteers want more out of the experience than a few hours of making calls. It is not enough to tell them what to do. You should also tell them why. It needs to make sense to them.
The best field staffers are those who take time to explain to volunteers how field works and why it matters, those who sit down and make a few calls with them, and those who are ready and willing to shoot the breeze a bit. If the campaign makes people feel involved, it is more likely that they will stay involved. And remember: to wage a top-notch ground war, you need their help.

Fooch's Note: if you're planning on heading to Fan Fest, let us know. If you get some pictures, let me know in the comments
Wanna meet up? Go to it together? We could hold hands...
Seriously though, I wouldn't mind going to the event and watching the practice with some of the enlightened and knowledgable fans of Niner Nation. So if anybody is interested post here, we can form a plan.
It's at the 'stick. the practice is from 2-4pm. I'm not so much interested in the other crap they have going on-stages, fan rallies, give-aways, yadda,yadda,yadda. I really just want to go to the practice, and wouldn't mind going with some other intelligent fans, real NNers. They haven't posted ticket prices but from what I can tell its somewhere between 10-20 bucks.

Sobriety Checkpoint in Hollywood
By Aaron Blevins, 5/03/2012
The Los Angeles Police Department will conduct a sobriety and driver's license checkpoint from 7 p.m. on Friday to 2 a.m. on Saturday at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Gower Street.
According to the LAPD, checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and providing the greatest safety for officers and the public.
Officers will be contacting drivers passing through the checkpoint looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment. Drivers caught driving impaired can expect jail, license suspension and insurance increases, as well as fines, fees, DUI classes, court probation and other expenses.
All too often, members of our community are senselessly injured or killed on local roadways by impaired drivers, said LAPD Traffic Coordination Section Lt. Ron Katona.
"Over the course of the past year, DUI-related collisions have claimed twelve lives and injured 825 of our friends and neighbors in Los Angeles," he said.

Hey guys,
I'm new to the blog; Needless to say, I am a huge Falcons fan. Just wanted to write a post to say how awesome this blog is! I've been reading it since the 2011 season and finally decided to join the conversation.
I'm relatively young but I've been a Falcons fan for about half my life now; it's good to see some vets here from the days back in the 90's and 80's. Looking forward to learning some old fashioned Dirty Bird history from you guys.
Living in Florida is nice and all, but there's literally maybe 3 Falcons fans here that I've seen; I still wear my Red and Black proudly on game day though, even though I'm usually the only ATL fan at my local sports bar lol
Looking forward to contributing to the blog and watching the Falcons bring the Lombardi to the streets of Atlanta this year!

For more photos from the Western Mass. Division I finals, click here.
SPRINGFIELD- If there was any doubt that Central would win its 10th straight Division I Western Mass., title Saturday at Central High School, the Golden Eagles shattered that doubt, dominating the competition along the way.
Central placed nine wrestlers in the finals, and eight of them were crowned Western Mass. champions. The Golden Eagles scored 288 points, well ahead of second-place Agawam's 210.
"I'm very proud of these kids. For us to put nine guys in the finals and have eight of them win is impressive for us," Central coach Darby McLaughlin said.
Central senior Ricky Viruet also performed two impressive feats at 152 pounds. Viruet won his third straight Western Mass. title, winning his 150th career match in the finals with a 41-second pin of Putnam's Alex Claudio. Viruet was also named Most Outstanding Wrestler and pinned all four of his opponents in 3:38.
"It felt good; a great accomplishment, a milestone and I was looking forward to get it," Viruet said.
His brother, junior Jon Viruet also won his third straight Western Mass. title, defeating Agawam's Chris Ortega 12-1 in the 160-pound final. Viruet said Ortega was a worthy opponent, but he treats every match with the same amount of intensity.
"I kind of used my speed (to win), but he's (Ortega) a strong 160. I didn't realize how strong he was until I tried to turn him on (the) bottom," Jon Viruet said. "I've been training to win New Englands all year so I don't just train for one specific opponent.
Freshman Matt Garcia (106), sophomore Eric Rodriguez (138), senior Ja'stice Bolden (170), senior Matt Paris (195), freshman Ryan Pinkham (220), and senior Kam Anderson (285) also won a title for Central. It was Bolden's and Anderson's second consecutive championship.
Junior Jered Escribano finished second at 182, losing to East Longmeadow's Connor Humphries 8-3. It was the first meeting between the two this season, one Humphries had been anticipating.
"I love wrestling him, Humphries said." We grew up wrestling together, too, so it was fun to wrestle him."
Humphries got the first takedown of the match, and became more aggressive as it progressed.
"He's really good in close matches so I had to get him out of his comfort zone. In a close match, he always takes us (to the edge) so I had to start scoring points," Humphries said.
Pinkham's match with Agawam's Jim-Karl Morin had the most exciting ending of the night. With the scored tied 1-1 at the end of regulation, the match headed into overtime, where Pinkham got the winning takedown with 0.6 seconds left on the clock.
Agawam had the second most wrestlers in the finals with five. Brennen Liebel took home his second Western Mass. title at 113 pounds, pinning Ludlow's Andrew Sarlan in the second period. Sarlan upset second-seeded Edgardo Morales in the semifinals. Liebel also pinned his way through the tournament and was not scored upon in all three of his matches.
The Brownies' Anthony Basile came from behind on Chicopee's Xzavier Lopez to win the 145-pound title. Trailing 4-1 in the third period, Basile noticed that Lopez was getting tired, so Basile became the aggressor and took him down and pinned him with 1:01 left in the match.
"Our coaches teach us in practice that you have to make it to the period. That's where you beat your opponent, and that's all I could think about--getting to that third period," Basile said. "It feels amazing. I was just glad my family was here and that I was able to share (the win) with my teammates."
Senior Anthony Caracciolo also placed second at 138 for the Brownies. It was the first time Agawam had finished as the Western Mass. runners-up since 2003. Agawam won the individual tournament in 2008, but due to the dual meet format that decided who won the Western Mass. title that year, the runners-up were West Springfield.
We've had a great season," Agawam coach Armando Ramos said. "The kids didn't back down from anybody and didn't get intimidated. I'm really proud of the effort."
A second set of brothers won Western Mass. titles, their first, for Minnechaug. The Monteiro brothers, Ryan and Anthony, looked very strong in the finals. Ryan, a freshman, won at 120 pounds over Chicopee's Jeff Seibold via a 15-0 technical fall which he accomplished in the second period. Anthony pinned Putnam's Ruben Martori in the second period at 126.
"It's something were always going to remember," Anthony Monteiro said of he and his brother's wins. "I don't think the pressure was on us. We just had a feeling we were going to get it done. He (Ryan) is working hard as a freshman and he deserves it."
"It's pretty cool," Ryan Monteiro said of winning Western Mass. as a freshman. "This is the first time it's ever happened to me so it feels great.
Chicopee Comp sophomore Jason Vargas was the 132-pound champion, defeating Putnam's Kyle Kreyeski.
For Central, the Western Mass. championship is a gauge of how well they can compete in the rest of the postseason.
"For us this is a qualifier. It tells us how well we can do at the state tournament," McLaughlin said.
"We're looking forward to going to States next week and winning a state championship," Ricky Viruet said.
The top four wrestlers in each weight class qualify for the state tournament, which will be held on Feb. 21 and 22 at Lawrence High School.

Archery is fun and family-friendly and at Predator's Archery, we strive to make our store and indoor shooting range a safe environment for everyone to learn and practice archery. We provide various levels of instruction for the first-time archer orientation, new bow owner, and beginner to advanced topics for the target shooter and bowhunter.
If you're interested in teaching archery, we also provide NFAA/NAA certified training and certification.
We do events too! If you want to incorporate archery at your next event and need equipment and instructors, call us for availability and pricing.
Lesson Information and Pricing
Lessons are available for groups, families, and individuals at our shop. Equipment is provided for those who do not have their own.
Please note that all archery lessons require pre-registration, no walk-ins. Call us at 408-842-7733 to schedule your lesson.
Lesson Packages are available. Buy 4 classes and get 1 free. This is perfect for those who want additional coaching beyond the first 5 lessons, if you're looking to change styles, or a coach to help correct old habits.
Predator's Partners with Gilroy Recreation Department
Predator's Archery also offers lessons through the Gilroy Recreation Department for both Gilroy city residents and non-residents. Visit the City of Gilroy Recreation Department's website to find out start dates, costs, and to register.
What to Expect in Your lessons
First-time Archer Orientation – this lesson is designed for those interested in learning what archery is all about and archers who have never shot a bow before. We focus on providing the basics of the different types of bows (recurve versus compound; fingers versus release, etc), understanding your eye dominance, basic shooting form, range rules, and archery safety. This lesson will give the student a general feel for the sport.
New Bow Owner and Beginner Archery - We want you to be started the right way in archery and achieve success from the very beginning. This lesson is designed for archers who just got their bow and/or are still new to the sport. We focus on understanding the different parts of your new bow, get more in-depth with shooting form, how to get sighted in (for bows utilizing sights), and begin to explore the physics of archery to explain that "where you aim and where you hit are never the same place".
Advanced Topics – This lesson is geared for the seasoned archer who might be experiencing issues like "target panic", wants to do some form tuning to work out any bad habits picked up, or to learn proper ways to make the switch to new bow accessories such as going from pins to a scope, or a wrist release to a thumb release.

The donkey.
The dog: the stray and the spaniel.
The cow, the cow, and the other sad looking cow.
No one wants to appear childlike and vulnerable to others, but everyone (everyone who seeks out new experiences, anyway) wants to feel that way–along with love, awe is the one of the emotions people seek most deeply. And for writers, whose job is to express the inexpressible, the hidden, these two aims can feel at odds.
NOTE: This is the third in a series of posts by Colie Hoffman about her experience while a writer-in-residence at Sangam House, India. When I was in grad school, my friend Dave and I used to lift weights at the gym. The undergrad demographics at our university skewed largely male, so naturally, the weight room was populated […]
We all have our ways of dealing with the unknown, I guess. Apparently cartographers used to write "Here be dragons" on sections of uncharted territory, especially oceans.
While all this is magical, it's really just a sideshow to the main attraction: For 10 straight weeks, I have all the free time in the world to write, write, write.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – For the first time in modern history, Republicans are in control of the North Carolina legislature and the governor's mansion, but that doesn't mean they always agree.
The New York Times is reporting that Gov. Pat McCrory plans to veto bills passed by his fellow Republicans in the General Assembly. The article doesn't indicate which pieces of legislation he'll send back to lawmakers.
The governor made national news earlier this week when he signed a voter ID law that does away with same-day registration and reduces early voting.
He signed the bill in private instead of holding a ceremony like he usually does. It's an example of how governors and legislators of the same party sometimes have different priorities.
Senator Thom Goolsby says he doesn't know if McCrory will refuse to sign any bills. Goolsby said there are a number of technical reasons why McCrory might veto legislation.
He said the relationship between the General Assembly and the governor is strong.
"I never saw the inside of the governor's mansion when Beverly Perdue was governor," Goolsby said. "It was a place where I was never invited to. (In) the meetings (during the McCrory administration) I've been to, there have been Republicans and Democrats there. I don't know that a Republican every darkened the door when Beverly Perdue was there."
The governor has until August 25 to take action on the bills. If he doesn't sign them, they automatically become law.
