DeSoto County Sheriff Bill Rasco said on Wednesday the county's first sheriff substation, or precinct, is expected to be operational by Feb. 1.
His plan is to locate it in the back of a Suzuki dealership in Olive Branch.
"There is not going to be a whole lot of cost to the taxpayer after all," the sheriff said. "The businessman is donating the space and paying the light bill and water bill to come in there. He feels like it will benefit him having law enforcement that close to his business and surrounding business in that area."

Sheriff Rasco is looking for business locations for two other substations and businesses that will let the department have unused rental space at next to no cost.
"We have to have one at the western part of the county, and to be honest with you, I wouldn't mind having one in the northern part of the county also," Sheriff Rasco said.
The sheriff's office is trying to cut down on response times around the county while staying within his budget, Sheriff Rasco said.
"We have to stay in budget," he said. "That's why we have a budget. Plus, it's going to be saving time and money and our guys' wear and tear on the vehicles. They will not have to be running to clock in to be right back to work. They will be able to start their work from the substation in Olive Branch."
The only expense that will be incurred at the Olive Branch substation will be running of some lines for both computers and phones, the sheriff added.

Once again, it exemplifies the very definition of a boundary-pushing video game.
As promised, the battle system has been much improved, and the game looks absolutely stunning. [Feb 2005, p.111]
The acrobatics alone make Warrior Within a must-buy. Rounded out with superb character design and vast Myst-like landscapes, this Prince is another winner.
But fans of the last game will be glad to know that the levels, traps, and puzzles are once again masterpieces of design. [Jan 2005, p.126]
Builds on the weaknesses of its predecessor, but at the same time falls short of its strengths. All in all, this is a great title that offers something entirely new to a series that didn't really need it.
The demanding learning curve is absolutely perfect...An essential purchase for patient gamers everywhere.
The tone of the game has gone from an Arabian Nights fantasy to something akin to a Marilyn Manson music video. In dark and grimy settings, the once gallant prince curses and jeers as he swings his sword at demons whose decapitations are lovingly shown in slow motion to a soundtrack of screeching guitars.

May 16, 2013There are improvements in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within but the one improvement that really stood out is combat system in the game because there are more moves in the game.… Expand

Football hosts Gardner-Webb in season opener
Aug. 31, 2006
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -
Complete Release in PDF Format
The 2006 season is finally upon us as the JU Dolphins host Gardner-Webb at D.B. Milne Field on Saturday, Sept. 2, at 12:30 p.m. The two programs, which will face each other for the first time in football, are members of Atlantic Sun Conference and have faced each other in 10 other NCAA sports since the Bulldogs joined the conference in 2002.
The game will be broadcast live on ESPN 1460 (WZNZ) with Barry Milligan returning for a second tour of duty as "The Voice of the Dolphins." The contest can also be heard live on www.judolphins.com as part of the JU Sports Network.
Jacksonville University Dolphins
JU is entering its ninth season of intercollegiate football at the NCAA Division I-AA non- scholarship level and has a 31-48 (.392) record in 79 games. The Dolphins are 19-22 all-time at Milne Field, 11-25 on the road and 1-1 at neutral sites.
After competing as an independent for the first three years of the program, JU is in its sixth season as a member of the Pioneer Football League.
Former Dolphin players who have reached the professional ranks include Micah Ross, a wide receiver/special teams player (Jacksonville Jaguars, San Diego Chargers, Carolina Panthers) and Linj Shell, a defensive back with the Cologne Centurions (Philadelphia Eagles) of NFL Europe.
Head Coach Steve Gilbert
Head coach Steve Gilbert is in his ninth season at Jacksonville, his 10 year overall. The 49- year-old Freehold, N.J. native, hired in February of 1997, has built the program from the ground up. He has posted a 31-48 (.392) mark at JU, including a 21- 21 mark against similar non-scholarship programs and nine wins against scholarship teams.
Gilbert, who was named the 1996 NCAA Division III Coach of the Year after leading Ursinus College to its first-ever NCAA playoff berth, led the Dolphins to their first winning season in 2001 (6-5) and the PFL South Division Championship with a perfect 3-0 mark in divisional play. Gilbert has a career record of 72-96 (.429) in 17 seasons as a collegiate head coach.
D.B. Milne Field
The Dolphins are 19-22 (.463) all-time at D.B. Milne Field in six-plus seasons of football. In 2003, JU started 3-0 at home for the first time ever and finished the season with a program-best four home wins. The Dolphins' record was a standing-room- only crowd of 4,890 in the inaugural game against Davidson on Sept. 12, 1998.
JU Selected Fifth in New PFL Poll
JU was selected to finish fifth in the restructured Pioneer Football League in the preseason coaches' poll.
The PFL, which featured a north and south division the past five seasons, will revert back to a single division comprising eight teams in 2006. Due to the loss of a league championship game, the PFL regular-season winner will face the winner of the Northeast Conference in the inaugural Gridiron Classic.
Defending champion San Diego was predicted to finish first with five first-place votes (45 points) and Dayton earned two first-place votes for a total of 43 points. Drake rounded out the top three with 37 points and three-time defending South champion Morehead State was picked fourth with 32 points.
JU, which received one first-place vote, ranked fifth with 26 points ahead of Davidson (17), Valparaiso (15) and Butler (9).
JU in the Pioneer Football League
The Dolphins were 8-7 (.533) all-time in Pioneer Football League Divisional play, dating back to the 2001 season when JU went a perfect 3-0 in the South Division en route to the PFL South championship in its first year in the league.
The Dolphins are 2-9 all-time against opponents from the former North Division (1-0 vs. Butler, 0-5 vs. Drake, 0-2 vs. Dayton, 0-1 vs. San Diego, 1-1 vs. Valparaiso) and 12-9 (.571) all-time against the former PFL South teams (6-2 vs. Austin Peay, 5-3 vs. Davidson, 1-4 vs. Morehead State).
Horton Moves to the Head of the Class
The incumbent starter heading into the 2006 season, junior Chris Horton will look to pick up where he left off at the end of last season in which he took over the starting role in the final three games.
During that time, Horton led the Dolphins to a 2-1 record and helped secure the second best record in program history.
A threat on the ground as well as the through the air, Horton rushed for a career-high 92 yards and a touchdown in a win over Davidson. He also threw for a career-high three touchdowns in the win over North Greenville and tallied a career-best 307 passing yards at Webber International.
With his assertion as the starting quarterback, the Dolphin offense has a jump on the 2006 season as opposed to a three quarterback rotation in 2005.
Ground Control
In what has typically been a one-man show in past JU offenses, the 2006 running game will feature an ensemble cast of characters.
Lining up first to greet his audience will be senior Jerry Brant. A starter in all but one game as a sophomore, Brant led the squad with 802 yards rushing and scored six touchdowns. Last year, Brant led the squad with 434 yards and one touchdown in five games but was hindered due to a separated shoulder. Brant is always a threat to score on every attempt and will look to regain his form in 2006. He needs only 365 yards to surpass Jon Underhill for third place in the JU career record book.
Looking to increase his role is senior Bryan Gamble. After waiting for two years, Gamble got a small taste of the spotlight after rushing for 178 yards and two touchdowns in seven games. A gritty runner between the tackles, Gamble will bring a work- horse attitude to the position this season.
Another face to the equation is sophomore Cecil Coltrane. After averaging 8.3 yards per carry in two games last season, Coltrane will bring a package of speed and power to the show in 2006.
As we make our way to the trenches, you will find the heart and soul of the Dolphins' defensive attack in 2006. Senior nose guard Ryan Young and junior defensive tackle Kiel Pierce have been a one- two punch on the defensive front for two years and now they are about to take things to the next level.
With a defense that got younger in a hurry, the duo will be faced with the largest role of their tenure: create havoc at the point of attack. In order to give the linebackers freedom to make tackles, the duo must keep the offensive line occupied. For the best results in the secondary, the duo must create pressure in the pocket. A tall order for most, but don't tell them that.
In 2005, the twosome combined for 64 tackles, seven tackles for loss and a sack and helped pave the way for linebacker Brandon Torre to set the program record for tackles. Young ranked third on the squad with 40 tackles (20 solo) and registered at least five tackles in 5-of-8 contests. Pierce finished with 24 tackles (13 solos) and one sack.
JU in the National Rankings
After completing one of the strongest seasons in program history last year, JU has found its way into the national rankings in 2006.
The Dolphins are currently ranked 11th in the College Sports Report.com Top-20 poll, 12th in Don Hansen's Top-12 poll and are receiving votes in The Sports Network Top-10 Poll.
JU has been nationally ranked in 45 of the last 51 weeks since entering the polls at the start of the 2001 season. JU had spent 15 straight weeks in the Sports Network I-AA Mid-Major Top-10 Poll, reaching as high as No. 2 on Oct. 1, 2001. The Dolphins briefly entered the Sports Network Top 10 in 2003 with a No. 9 ranking on Sept. 29 following a 3-1 start. The Division I-AA Mid-Major polls includes the 22 programs of the MAAC, NEC and Pioneer Football League, which play at a non-scholarship or limited scholarship level.
Replacing a Legend
One of the major holes to be filled for the Dolphins in 2006 is the one left by all-time leading tackler Brandon Torre in the linebacker corps. Torre, who finished with 277 career tackles, was a mainstay on the strong side and a fierce competitor despite his lack of outstanding athletic ability.
To help in the transition, a group of fresh faces have been assembled to give the defense a "group effort". Leading the group in 2006 will be junior Joey Rumph. A starter on the weakside last season, Rumph ranked fourth on the squad with 39 tackles (22 unassisted) and was third with 4.5 tackles for loss and three sacks.
Filling in for Torre on the strong side will be sophomore Winston Ward. A member of the squad for three years, Ward appeared in the first three games last season before suffering a knee injury. In three games, he had five tackles (four unassisted), a tackle for loss, a sack and a pass break up.
Starting in the middle will be freshman Allen Fennell. Despite his lack of experience, Fennell's athleticism and natural instincts have pushed him to the head of the class. Fennell, who sat out last season as a freshman, finished with four tackles and also intercepted a pass during the first scrimmage of preseason camp.
Also filling in during the year will be sophomores Dane Weathers (15 tackles), Tyler Thomas (six tackles) and freshman Sean Crowley.
Big Shoes to Fill
Along with Brandon Torre, two other key positions on the defense will sorely be missed in 2006: defensive end Jason Bense and strong safety Bernard Opoku.
Bense, who was arguably the best player on the defense, finished his Dolphin career ranked second in the JU career record book with 17.5 sacks.
Moving into his starting end spot will be junior Sean Heverin. Heverin made a big impact in his first start against Webber International by tallying a career-high six tackles (five solo). He has also made an immediate impact in the preseason by recording a team-high five tackles and two sacks in the final scrimmage on Aug. 25.
Opoku, one of the most gifted athletes to don a JU uniform, earned first team all-PFL honors after ranking second on the team with 53 tackles and leading the squad with two interceptions and five breakups. He also recorded an interception in the Magnolia Gridiron All-Star Classic and was invited to the Jacksonville Jaguars' mini-camp in May.
Freshman Jason Wood moves into the strong safety slot after moving over from running back during the preseason. Wood, who hails from Port Charlotte High School, has made several plays during camp. Sophomore David Onorato, who has also been impressive during camp, will also see time at the position after sitting out as a redshirt last season.
How About Replacing an All-American?
Probably the biggest shoes, and leg, to replace will be those left by All-America kicker Ryan Feely.
Feely earned first team all-conference honors for the second straight year after ranking sixth in the nation with 42.8 yards per punt. He also took care of place kicking duties and led the squad with 46 points after connecting on 25-of-27 extra points and 7-of-11 field goals.
The competition to replace Feely began with four true freshmen during preseason camp. The man who emerged from the rubble and will assume both duties is Donovan Curry.
A three-year letterwinner as a kicker at Eastside High School in Gainesville, Curry also played four years of soccer for the Rams.
New Additions to the Staff
Three new faces will grace the Dolphin sidelines in 2006 with the additions of Brian Ferguson (running backs), Scott Hughes (receivers) and Lt. David Hills as a volunteer kicking specialist.
After announcing the promotion of fourth- year coach Luther Price from wide receivers to defensive backs, special teams and recruiting coordinator this summer, second-year coach Thomas Wagers moves from tight ends to quarterbacks and third-year offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Andy McLeod will incorporate tight ends.
The trio replaces Jason DesJarlais (Yale), Chris Norris (Southeast Missouri) and Ryan Silverfield (Central Florida).
Ferguson begins his first season with the Dolphin coaching staff after serving the past season as a coaching intern with the Jacksonville Jaguars. In the 2005 season with the Jags, Ferguson assisted the strength and conditioning coach in all areas, including drill work with the offensive line and running backs as the team finished 12-4 on the year.
Prior to Jacksonville, he served as an offensive assistant and strength coach with the Rhein Fire of NFL Europe from 2001-03. During that time he worked with tight ends and running backs, including Baltimore Ravens' starting tailback Jason Brooking, Pepe Person and NFL Europe Player of the Year Jamal Robertson.
Before moving to NFL Europe, Ferguson was a part-time assistant strength coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2000-01.
He has also worked in pre-season training camps for the Jacksonville Jaguars (2003-04), the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1999 & 2002) and the New York/New Jersey Hitman of the XFL (2001) and had short stints as a strength coach with the University of South Florida and the New York Yankees in 2002.
Hughes enters his first season at JU after serving as an assistant coach at Division II Glenville State (W.V.) College last season. In his one year with the Pioneers, he handled the running backs and special teams units while also coaching the offensive scout team and serving as video coordinator as the squad finished 9-2 on the season.
Prior to Glenville State, Hughes was an assistant coach at Auburn High School in Riner, Va. in 2004. His duties included working with the quarterbacks and special teams units.
As a player, he was a walk-on at Virginia Tech from 2000-04 as a wide receiver, quarterback, cornerback and on special teams. From 2001-02, hew was a member of the Hokies' squad that beat Clemson and lost to Florida State at Alltel Stadium for the Gator Bowl.
Hills, who is currently an Anti-Terrorism and Force Protection Officer in the U.S. Navy, joins the Dolphin staff after coaching kickers, punters and snappers for Naval from 2002-03.
A graduate of Navy in 2002, he earned first team all-Independent accolades and was invited to the 2001 Blue-Gray All-Star Football Classic as a kicker after leading all Division I-A schools with a 94 percent field-goal percentage.
Rich Named Pre-Season All-American
Dolphin senior offensive lineman Pat Rich was tabbed second team I-AA Mid-Major Preseason All-America by Don Hansen's Football Gazette.
Rich, who was named team captain in the spring, earned honorable mention Division I-AA Mid- Major All-America accolades by CollegeSportsReport.com at the end of the 2004 season.
A two-time first team all-Pioneer Football League selection, Rich has developed into the anchor of the Dolphin line since playing in all 11 games as a true freshman in 2003. During that season, the Dolphins produced a school-record 4,463 yards of total offense, 2,103 rushing yards and running back Emmett Hunter rushed for a program-record 1,467 yards en route to All-America honors. As a sophomore, Rich had a key role in the Dolphins' success in the rushing attack as JU ran for 180.8 yards per game, fourth-best in the PFL. Last season, the Dolphins set the program record for total offense (585 yards) against Butler as well as the second highest total offensive output (578 yards) and the second highest rushing total (371) against North Greenville.
Strength of Schedule
The Dolphins' 2006 schedule features one of the toughest schedules in program history, including only four games being played at D.B. Milne Field.
Gardner-Webb, a scholarship program from the Big South, will be the home opener for the Dolphins on Sept. 2. JU will embark on a four-game road trip which begins with another scholarship program, Southeastern Louisiana, on Sept. 24.
The squad will open Pioneer Football League play with three road games against Butler (Sept. 23), Valparaiso (Sept. 30) and Davidson (Oct. 7), before returning home against PFL power Dayton on Oct. 14.
The Dolphins head back to the road for two weeks beginning with three-time PFL South Champion Morehead State (Oct. 21) and North Greenville (Oct. 28).
Jacksonville closes out its home slate on Nov. 4 against defending PFL champion San Diego before ending the year against Drake (Nov. 11).
The Dolphins have nine wins all-time against scholarship opponents, including seven in the last four seasons. JU's last win was against Webber International in 2004.

So I want you to consider two players based on their first "full year" of playing meaningful minutes on D:
Player A - 26 years old. Had 2 definite HOF all-time great defensemen and 1 high quality, all star puck moving defenceman, and had 2 other experienced but young defencemen playing alongside him. In front, the top 6 were experienced and mostly in the beginning of their primes (though one was clearly come out of his prime quickly). 10 players (including player A) put up at least 20 assists (which I think is a great target for a 5th/6th D). He had sparing PP minutes and very little PK time. Took some pretty dumb penalties at times and had some rough stretches, even got scratched from time to time since there were 10 different defencemen that got in that season.
Player B - 25 years old. Had 2 definite HOF all-time great defensemen (one at least was an all time great) playing the top line. Line 2 had 2 studs really coming into their own, known as a solid defensive pair but not much offensive power. Often paired with an oft-out of position, undersized "veteren" that lacked greatness in any given category. The top 6 was just as experienced with most of the major players being in the middle of their primes rather than just entering them. He has good size and fluid skating ability with a scoring presence and vision not shared by most defencemen. Due to inexperience, he gets caught out of position often, though one could put a big reason on having to help his lesser talented counterpart all too often. Only 7 players on this team put up 20 assists.
Player A - 06-07 68 games 1/21/22 +0 20:39atoi
Player B - 09-10 62 games 4/9/13 -15 16:42atoi
Obviously I'm not in the slightest trying to say that Jonathan Ericsson is in anyway better than Niklas Kronwall. But I hadn't ever really examined what the team makeup, strengths, weaknesses, etc around either of them in their first "full year" with the club. Ericsson's first full year comes 2 years removed from winning a Stanley Cup. He's stuck with Brett Lebda as a partner (or Derek Meech), who while I'm sure everyone would love Lebda to be back with this group, I can't say it helped to develop Ericsson offensively or defensively. Kronwall got to play with Andreas Lilja and Danny Markov. While neither of them are world class defencemen, they both were decent sized, stay at home, don't get beat in your own zone kind of guys even when they were young. In front of Kronwall was Lidstrom, Chelios, and Matthieu Schneider. Three very good offensive defencemen to learn from.
Ericsson has played with Lidstrom and Rafalski, so he knows how to be an offensive threat from the blue line, he knows how to use positioning, but I think he's also had this huge bar put way above him by fans when he didn't deserve it. Yes, he was highly touted as the next great defenceman, but I really don't see why that still can't be. He's only 27 so he easily (barring a major injury) could play 10+ more years. He's a very solid skater. He doesn't have to over work himself to get in position, he can pour on speed to jump in on a rush (though you rarely see that in him, I think because he couldn't do that and leave Lebda alone when he first came up), he has as good of hands as anyone out there (for his level of experience, I honestly think his hands could one day rival Lidstroms. He won't put up the points like Lidstrom did, but just his soft touch passing, perfect tape to tape passes, stretch passes, will look very similar, very precise and accurate, just like Lidstrom). Ericsson has all the tools to be a top pair defenceman. He shows all the talent and ability to do it. I really think playing with Lebda stunted his growth. Lebda's knack for being out of position, jumping a rush that didn't happen, getting boxed in the corner by bigger forwards, caused Ericsson to develop bad habits of being out of position, trying to help out when he should have stayed home, forcing passes, and leaving the goalie hanging out to dry. Last year was his first year not playing with Lebda. He got to play with the late Ruslan Salei. Ericcson was a +8 last year. His first year on the plus side. I don't think that's just a minor coincodence. Salei gave him on ice, active veteran help. Salei by no means was a great defenceman, but he wasn't just average either. He didn't get beat in his own zone often. I can't imagine how much Salei probably invested in him and retaught him positioning, just by being in the right position himself.
Jonathan Ericcson is not going to be a hall of fame defenceman. But I would bet, neither is Niklas Kronwall. Kronwall will receive more praise because it's probably deserved. Ericsson is always going to receive more criticism, though I don't think it's nearly as deserved. Let's not destroy another young man next year with Brendan Smith and expect that he's going to put up 10/25/35 in his first year. He'll get the benefit of playing behind White, Kronwall, and at least 1 other really good defenceman (hopefully Lidstrom). But he needs support from the fanbase just as much as he needs support from his defensive partner.

- Beatles '65, (US: Capitol (S)T 2228, Capitol CDP 7243 8 66874 2 5)
- This cover of a 1962 b-side by a group called Dr. Feelgood and the Interns (in actuality blues legend Piano Red under an alias) is usually considered notable only for the fact that many Beatles fans consider it the worst song released in the band's lifetime (depending, one supposes, on whether or not you consider "Revolution 9" a song, or think it should be).
- Some of this notoriety probably has to do with the production, as the original (Okeh 4-7144) was merely an inoffensive slice of light R&B with a slight Latin feel common in pop music at the time. The group keeps much the same but makes the dubious decision to lay the harmonies on thick and add a roller-rink organ solo by Paul, both of which considerably up the lounge factor on what is, at heart, no more offensive a tune than some of the Beatles' other covers of old-timey pop songs ("Red Sails In The Sunset" comes to mind, as does "Ain't She Sweet").
- In fact, "Mr. Moonlight" was included on Beatles For Sale precisely because it was so popular among "beat" groups of the era: the Beatles played it regularly in Hamburg, and the Hollies recorded a similar version that was released at almost the same time. The Beatles were apparently big fans of the Doctor: you can hear them spontaneously covering "Right String But The Wrong Yo-Yo" on the Let It Be session outtakes, for example. The good Doctor was covered by several Sixties bands, including the Lovin' Spoonful, and Aretha Franklin used his song of the same name as inspiration for her own, different hit.
- Despite the song's dubious reputation, John's fevered vocal performance is considered one of his absolute best, surprising even he on the recorded outtakes. Some say it saves the song from its otherwise obvious shortcomings.
- This track was originally attempted on August 14, in four takes, but tabled and then re-recorded in four more takes during the sixth session for Beatles For Sale, just after Paul's medley of "Kansas City / Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" and just before work began on the non-album single, "I Feel Fine." (Note the extreme similarity in the sound of the harmonies!)
August 3, 1962 (Grafton Rooms, Liverpool, England); December 18-24 and 26-31, 1962 (Star-Club, Hamburg, Germany)
- The original August 14 version of this song featured a wild, almost experimental slide guitar solo by George instead of the eventual organ solo; this version can be heard on Anthology I.
- Ringo is credited with "bongos" on this track, but closer listening reveals that he almost certainly thumping a guitar case for percussive effect.

I know this is a topic that should have been discussed months ago when the schedule was released. I noticed lately a few aren't fond of our schedule this season. Call me crazy but I absolutley love our schedule. Below I will explain why I love it and why I can pretty easily call for 10 wins at least.
1. Home field advantage. The football gods must have been really smiling upon us in this aspect. Nearly every team that would have been hell to play away, we play in Charlotte. Seattle Seahawks for example we play in Charlotte. we all know how every NFL team loathes to play in Seattle. This alone would have been great but it gets better. Not only do we play the Seahawks in Charlotte we also have the Cowboys, Giants, Raiders and Broncos in Charlotte. Oh and the icing on the cake? How about the football gods also threw in a depleted Saints team in week 2, where? you guessed it.. Bank Of America stadium.
Now the teams we play away (besides NFCS teams of course) are the Chiefs, Eagles and the Chargers. Despite the great home field crowd the Chiefs have, I just don't see them hanging with us. The Redskins shouldn't be terrible. Now the Eagles in Philly on Monday night is by far our toughest game this season. The Chargers game could honestly go either way. It just depends which Phillip Rivers shows up, and the fact they don't have Vincent Jackson should help us, (however us playing against V-Jax twice isn't ideal, but I digress.)
Now don't get me wrong, I know it's never cut and dry in the NFL. I know we will lose some of the home games we should win and vice-versa. However I am seriously thrilled about our schedule. This isn't me being in denial, or trying to view the glass as half full type of thrilled. I am really and truly 100% happy with this schedule. We play the good teams in Charlotte and the mediocre teams away (except Philly of course.) Frankly, You just couldn't ask for a better schedule in my opinion. Now Below here is my season prediction game by game. I figure I wouldn't write a description beside each prediction, I'll leave that open to discussion. (I know this isn't in order btw.)
Panthers Vs Eagles; L
Panthers Vs Seahawks; W
Panthers Vs Giants; L
Panthers Vs Cowboys; W
Panthers Vs Raiders; W
Panthers Vs Redskins; W
Panthers Vs Chargers; L

4.3/5 rDev -2.3%
Had this last night on tap at World of Beer in Tempe, AZ. It came in a tulip glass. It appeared a deep golden orange color. It smelled very citrusy. The taste had a strong pacific northwest hop bite. You could taste the alcohol in it, but I enjoyed how it came through, unlike other overpowering DIPAs. I don't know much else about it but the bartender told me it was a collaboration with a few other local AZ breweries. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Definitely a find.

Single-Vehicle Crash Claims Life Of Lexington Man In Hardin County
Date of News Release: 06/11/2012
(ELIZABETHTOWN, KY) -- On Monday, June 11, 2012 at approximately 5:43 a.m. Post 4 Troopers responded to a single-vehicle fatality crash on the Western Kentucky Parkway at the 130 mile marker. Tpr.

Michelle Pfeiffer joined her co-star Elizabeth Banks on the red carpet at the Regal Cinemas LA Live Stadium for the 'People Like Us' premiere on Friday.
The actress wore a Christian Dior Spring 2012 dress.
Michelle has pretty much stuck to an all-black or mostly dark-colour palette with a fitted silhouette for some time now, so this flirty cocktail dress with a floaty skirt and grey and white stripes is very, very refreshing.
Blown-out locks, a Rona Pfeiffer Ribbon ring, a maroon Judith Leiber minaudière and black pumps completed her look.
The dress says spring, but her accessories say fall. Sandals would've perfected the look. Those black pumps feel so heavy for this look considering how light the dress is.

Torched, Union Thugs Suspected
It was probably back in 1997, though some think it might have been even earlier, when the Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting concluded that it had outgrown its space and that it was high time to erect a new building. But because it is not the Quaker way to rush into things, the group spent a few more years reflecting on whether it should buy land on Mermaid Lane for the new meetinghouse.
Even after the group sealed the deal in 2003, there was still plenty more talking and thinking and praying to be done about the undertaking. There was a "dialogue session" to articulate the group's "touchstone values," then, a year later, a workshop with a facilitator, and, finally - just to be certain - a retreat for members.
As agonizing as the process was, the result is a trim little design, faced in traditional Wissahickon schist, that will visibly reflect the ideals Quakers hold dear, from respect for the environment to plain old good neighborliness. And yet, in one crucial way, the $5.8 million project now under construction is also a frank acknowledgment of real-world conditions: To afford Philadelphia's first new Quaker meetinghouse in 80 years, the Chestnut Hill Friends felt their only option was to employ a nonunion contractor.
And now they are paying the price.
Four days before Christmas, the Friends' world was rocked by the sort of violence they have devoted their lives to stamping out.
Vandals with an acetylene torch crept onto the project's muddy construction site in the middle of the night. Working out of view in the meetinghouse's freshly cemented basement, they sliced off dozens of bolts securing the bare steel columns and set fire to the building crane, causing $500,000 in damage.
Police detectives deemed the attack arson because of a series of confrontational visits from union officials days before the incident. They say the torch could only have been operated by a trained professional, and believe it was almost certainly the work of disgruntled union members. The city has assigned extra investigators to the case and is working with federal forensic experts to track down the vandals, said Michael Resnick, the city's public safety commissioner.
Editor's Note: Another example of why unions suck...We mean, really, Quakers? Union thugs target Quakers???

Don't look for Ernie Els to be pulling any rabbits out of his golf hat any time soon, though the reigning British Open champ would prefer that the USGA and R&A make their proposed ban on anchored putting miraculously disappear.
Els, at Durban (South Africa) Country Club for this week's Volvo Golf Champions, believes anti-anchorers have bestowed other-worldly abilities on long putters like the one he used on his way to winning at Royal Lytham last year. In the real world, however, a belly bat's like any other trick up a golfer's sleeve -- you have to work at it to create the illusion that it holds mystical properties.
"For a lot of guys [in the past], they thought it was a magic wand -- you put your hands on it and you're going to make putts," Els, who was against long putters until he was for them, told SuperSport on Wednesday. "But it's taken me a long time to get used to it."
The winner of four majors, Els bagged a belly putter in 2011 after suffering some disappointing letdowns on the greens. But it wasn't like he waved his Odyssey White Hot XG over his Hex Black Tour and -- voila! -- the golf ball amazingly found its way to the bottom of the cup (see: 2012 Transitions Championship and Zurich Classic).
In fact, had it not been for the mind-boggling Open meltdown by Adam Scott, a broomstick putter practitioner, Els might still be just another guy with a big stick trying to get up and down -- and perhaps the simmering cauldron of anchoring animosity would still be on the back burner.
"I was fortunate to win The Open Championship with the long putter. You know, making those putts on the final nine," said Els. "I hit a lot of greens that week, but it's not a magic wand. You have to put work into it. You have to get used to it."
Els said he'll do what he must to play by the rules, but he -- like Keegan Bradley, Carl Pettersson, and a bevy of others in the belly brigade -- won't be happy about it.
"I've seen guys use [a long putter] that go away from it, back to the short putter, so in all honesty, I'm not for it if they change it. But if so then so be it, I'm not the rules maker," he said. "There are people that want to look after the game and the future of the game, and if they feel that they need to ban it, I'll go with it, but I'm definitely not for that. ... I'm not for it."

Alabama coach Nick Saban has suspended star safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix indefinitely for violating team rules.
Saban announced the suspension after Wednesday's practice. He says he doesn't know how long the suspension will last and wouldn't elaborate on the reason.
Clinton-Dix is one of the top-ranked Crimson Tide's top defenders and a projected first-round NFL draft pick. He's second on the team with 24 tackles.
His backup, Nick Perry, has been lost for the season after shoulder surgery. Saban said Geno Smith and Landon Collins are working at Clinton-Dix's spot.
Smith moved to safety in fall camp and Collins is also new to that position.
Clinton-Dix is Alabama's fourth announced suspension since the start of preseason camp, joining linebacker Trey DePriest, defensive back Geno Smith and tight end Malcolm Faciane.

I read Jordan's most recent posting about how Evan Turner is showing improvement during the playoffs with great interest. Frankly, I haven't seen it, other than the first couple of games in Chicago. But I trust our bloglords to have a deeper statistically-based understanding of things, and they generally make sense.
As our regulars know, I am a huge Evan Turner fan. I love his all-around game, his humble attitude, his increasing fire on the court, and his potential to be a really interesting contributor. He has certainly shown real flashes of it this season, as his minutes normalized toward the end, and as his role solidified. I still believe he's going to be a significant player in this league.
That being said, I am finding our rabid defense of his play this postseason a bit baffling, and I disagree with Jordan's analysis. Why? Jordan says it himself:
...from a pure numbers standpoint, his production has been downright awful.
24 guards have played at least 30 minutes per game in these Playoffs. Only two – Ramon Sessions and J.R. Smith – have a lower PER than Evan Turner (10.0), and J.R. Smith is the only player with a lower true shooting percentage. From a conventional numbers standpoint, only Smith and Jason Kidd have a lower field goal percentage than Turner, and Turner is the only qualified guard without a made three-pointer. Points per game: Turner ranks 21st of 24.
I'm seeing the same things Jordan is. I think Turner's more aggressive approach will eventually pay dividends in future seasons. But production is production, and lack of production is lack of production, and Turner has in no way been productive, certainly not on the offensive end, where he has been downright offensive. He's not scoring, what little scoring he's done has been horrifically inefficient, and he's been a turnover factory.
I think it's OK to love Evan Turner and still recognize that he's been miserable this postseason. Of course, pretty much every player on the Sixers' roster has flirted with miserable this postseason in terms of individual performances (except maybe Lavoy Allen, who has shined, mostly because he's in comparison with non-existent Elton Brand and actively-playing-for-the-other-team Spencer Hawes). We all desperately want Turner to be great, to justify his lofty draft position. I believe he's made some real progress this season, to the point where I don't think anyone really believes he's a BUST!!!!! anymore. He's my second-favorite player on the team, after 'Dre. But my dude's been bad this postseason for the most part, and it's OK to admit that.
This postseason has gone from weird to downright baffling and bizarre. I still want them to make the Finals, though, just to shut everyone up. Especially the douchenugget national 'heads who refuse to give the Sixers the tiniest bit of credit for beating either the Bulls (still a super-top defensive team without Rose or Noah, and probably still more talented than the Sixers) or having a tied series with the Celtics (always a favorite of the DN'Hs, not to mention a Der Stern darling).
I have been a fan of this team since 1976, and I will always be a fan of this team, even if they re-sign Spencer Hawes to a max deal (although I reserve the right to complain about it incessantly if they do). But it's OK to love your team, even to love your players, and still think they're playing like crap right now.
Now get the hell off my lawn, dammit, before I call the cops!!!
Love and kisses,
Your Curmudgeon

Department of Architecture and Landscape Architecture
The architect must combine an understanding of society, artistic skill, and technological knowledge to shape places and spaces that enrich human life. Not only do the physical requirements need to be satisfied, but also there must be beauty to engage the human spirit. All of this requires a creative thought process that can balance and organize needs that are quite varied in nature. Clear, responsible, sensitive, and comprehensive thinking is demanded of the architect who is to integrate a wide range of factors into a design that is meaningful. For this reason an architect's education must range from the practical aspects of building construction to the study of environmental, social, and aesthetic issues.
Central to the study of architecture is the sequence of architectural studio courses. Students are assigned architectural problems, which may be hypothetical, realistic, or theoretical, and find their own solutions to them with frequent individual consultations with instructors. As the student progresses, the projects become larger and more complex or the solution becomes more detailed. In this way, knowledge and experience acquired in other classes are brought to bear on the principal responsibility of the architect and the architecture student, that of shaping separate considerations into a single design.
Selective Admission
Admission into the first-year Pre-Architecture Program is open to any student enrolled at NDSU. Transfer students are evaluated on the basis of courses taken and grades received. Upon completion of the first year, a selected number of students are admitted to the second year of the program on the basis of institutional GPA attained and performance in first-year environmental design courses.
The Program
At the end of the third year of study, students may apply to the Master of Architecture degree program. The Bachelor of Science in Architecture is granted after the fourth year of study, and the professional Master of Architecture degree at the end of the fifth year of study. The program is fully accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board, and the M.Arch. degree is recognized by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards as a professional degree.
The total number of credits required for the professional degree is 168, and the bachelor degree requirement is 136.
In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a 6-year, 3-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.
Master's degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitute an accredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
Special Notice
Students who are admitted into the second year of the program will be required to purchase a laptop computer. Information on type of computer, software, purchase, and financing arrangements will be distributed to admitted students prior to purchase.
Landscape Architecture
The Landscape Architecture program is one of approximately 63 accredited programs in the United States. The curriculum is reviewed periodically by the nationally organized Landscape Architecture Accreditation Board and has been fully accredited since 1991.
Landscape architects provide a wide variety of professional services for individual clients, organizations, corporations, and government agencies. They are involved at every phase of the development of a site, from the initial discussion of ideas with the client through the supervision of construction for the project.
Master planning of parks, zoos, golf courses, playgrounds, and recreation areas are familiar projects for landscape architects. They may also design multifunctional areas for urban renewal projects, college campuses, industrial parks, new communities, natural areas, reclaimed lands, and wetlands.
Besides designing sites, landscape architects often select building locations, prepare cost estimates, initiate long-range planning studies, determine utility corridors, and prepare environmental impact statements for future construction. Whether specializing within a large firm of landscape architects or working in a small professional office, the landscape architect is often collaborating with other professionals, such as engineers, city planners, and architects.
Most landscape architects spend some of their time at the drawing board or computer. They also spend many hours in the field, investigating and analyzing potential project sites, developing field notes for design layouts, completing visual surveys, and supervising construction. It is at the computer and drawing board that projects are actually organized and shaped into a creative and imaginative solution. The work and responsibility of each landscape architect depends principally on individual interests and abilities. Opportunities may range from professional practice on a small scale to administration of governmental programs.
Those who plan careers in landscape architecture should be able to work independently, have a capacity for solving technical problems, be artistically inclined, and be willing to learn computer use. They should be prepared to work in the competitive environment of the profession, where great value is placed on leadership and the ability to work effectively with others. The range of interests and knowledge required in the profession of landscape architecture is broad; therefore, the courses required of students include many fields of study options.
Selective Admission
Admission into the first-year Pre-Landscape Architecture program is open to any student enrolled at NDSU. Transfer students are evaluated on the basis of courses taken and grades received. Upon completion of the first year, a selected number of students are admitted to the second year of the program. The basis for selection is institutional GPA and performance in first-year environmental design.
Special Notice
Students in the second year of the program will be required to purchase a laptop computer. Information on type of computer, software, purchase, and financing arrangements will be distributed to students prior to purchase.
The classrooms, studios, and laboratories are well equipped and every effort is made to keep them abreast of current technology.
Student Societies and Organizations
Students are eligible to join one or more of these organizations which are actively supported for the benefit of students in the related curricula:
- American Institute of Architecture Students
- American Society of Landscape Architects
In addition, national professional honor societies have chapters on campus for students with high academic attainments. Eligible students are selected for Tau Sigma Delta from architecture or Sigma Lambda Alpha from landscape architecture. Membership in these societies is a coveted honor and highly regarded in the architectural professions.

The Missouri Tigers' upset bid against the Kentucky Wildcats came up a little short, but you can't fault Jabari Brown, who had 33 points on 10-17 shooting.
In this play, he decides to take a heat check from way behind the NBA line because why not.
A little advice to James Young - go ahead and let a guy take that shot. Whatever you do, do not foul the shooter!
Jamal Crawford would be proud of that 4-point play.

Variety reported yesterday that three Oscar nominated young actresses Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin and Jennifer Lawrence are all in the race to play the lead in The Hunger Games based on the best-selling novel by Suzanne Collins.
Here's the description of the plot from wikipedia:
It introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world in the country of Panem where North America once stood. This is where a powerful government working in a central city called the Capitol holds power. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the Capitol chooses one boy and one girl from each district to fight to the death. The Hunger Games exist to demonstrate not even children are beyond the reach of the Capitol's power.
The film already has a release date that is not too far away -- March 23, 2012 -- so they need to cast and get started.
Lionsgate is looking for this to be the next Twilight franchise and they have multiple movies on their minds. The heroine in the book is sixteen and Lawrence is already 20, so it might be difficult to cast her for several movies over several years since she will by then be in her mid 20s. But let's be real the age issue has never stopped Hollywood before. And if they want to figure out how to age up the film to get older women in like Twilight, they might want an older actress and throw in a ittle romance.
This is a very interesting movie to watch. First, it's Lionsgate. Like Summit, which did Twilight, it is not one of the major studios. That is a positive. Of course, Lionsgate is not known for strong female fare (Saw movies) but they did release For Colored Girls. The film is being produced by Nina Jacobson who spent years at a studio head at Disney so she knows how to produce films for young audiences. The choice of Gary Ross as director baffles me a bit. He is best known for Seabiscuit and Pleasantville not for films about teens and tween, but who knows. Seems like this might have been a good opportunity to get Catherine Hardwicke into another franchise since she started the cash cow in the Twilight series.
None of the actresses vying for the lead have had to carry this big a film and Breslin's last attempt at a potential franchise - Kit Kittredge: An American Girl did not go over too well (even though it was adorable.) But she did hold her own with Jodie Foster in Nim's Island. Lawrence is about to co-star in the X-Men prequel, and Steinfeld, of course is in True Grit which has grossed upwards of $165 million.
I love the fact that there are actresses vying for a part, that a studio is serious about programming for young women and this movie already has some buzz on.
UPDATE: Looks like the Variety piece was a bit premature. EW is now reporting that there are upwards of 30 actresses (are there 30 actresses in this age group worthy of a role like this?) in competition for the role and that no decision has yet been made. The list includes: Chloë Moretz, Lyndsy Fonseca, Emma Roberts, and Saoirse Ronan.

J'aime apprendre sur ce site de plus en plus, il y a beaucoup de themes vraiment interessant.

Wait, so is Lawrence not the frontrunner anymore? It's been my understanding that if they figure out a way to age up the character and make that work, the part's pretty much hers.
Cait | March 4, 2011 4:14 AM
Abigial Breslin? You must be joking. No way on her. Laurence is a good actress but she's too old. Now Hailee Steinfeld, she'd be great.
anna | March 4, 2011 3:59 AM
Haliee Steinfeld or Chloe Moretz have got the toughness for the part, based on previous work (and Jennifer Lawrence, but she's too old.) I can't see Abigail Breslin making this work at all.

Where is Saoirse Ronan mentioned? My pick is Chloe Moretz. Katniss Everdeen is an all American girl.
Phillipa | March 3, 2011 9:32 AM
Saoirse Ronan owns this role, I didn't see the big deal about Jennifer in Winter's Bone. I also would find it hard for her to pass for 20, never mind in a few years for sequels.
Saoirse is getting fantastic buzz for Hanna, where she plays a teenage assassin, and we know she can do drama very well. She is also not a face the public are tired of.
me | March 3, 2011 9:25 AM
Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield are both older than Lawrence and they're playing teens in Spiderman. That is just one example. Age never stops Hollywood.
Len | March 3, 2011 9:08 AM
I agree about Jennifer being too old for the part. She already looks older than her age. Her acting is fine, but let's not lose the importance of the physical characteristics of Katniss. She's supposed to look petite and thin, yet strong. Jennifer is too big boned. I would love to see someone like Saoirse Ronan for the part. Check out her new Hanna trailer and see for yourself.
jess | March 3, 2011 8:45 AM
Entertainment Weekly is now saying today that it's still wide open with 30 some actresses up for the role.
Wendy | March 3, 2011 5:49 AM
I love the idea of Jennifer Lawrence in this, but I agree she will age out of the part. But we know she can do steely and world-weary perfectly. What a shame.
Melody | March 3, 2011 4:42 AM
1 - Jennifer Lawrence cannot pass as a 16-year-old and I hope they don't pass up an age appropriate actor for this role. The Hunger Games is huge and could turn a younger actress into an instant A-Lister in no time if this goes well.
2 - I heard a couple weeks back that Chloe Moretz was also in the running for this. Did she drop out? Personally, I think she'd be perfect.

Ryan Braun makes surprise appearance in Milwaukee on Wednesday

MILWAUKEE - Ryan Braun made an appearance in Milwaukee on Wednesday, first making a charity appearance, then stopping by Miller Park.
TODAY'S TMJ4's Cody Holyoke spoke to Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said he came in to visit, but did not want to be a distraction to the game itself between the Brewers and Cubs tonight.
The Journal Sentinel's Tom Haudricourt also said he saw Braun at the stadium.
He also helped out a charity he's served before.
Guess who stopped by, and even brought lunch! Great to have Ryan Braun here today!— ARCW (@ARCWisc) September 18, 2013
According to MLB.com Brewers writer Adam McCalvy, Braun was in town to make an appearance for an organization he has been involved with for years.
Braun delivered lunch and met today with employees of @ARCWisc. He was honorary chair of AIDS Walk Wisconsin last year.— Adam McCalvy (@AdamMcCalvy) September 18, 2013
The AIDS Resource Center's Mike Gifford spoke with Newsradio 620 WTMJ about the visit.
"We were really excited that our longtime friend Ryan Braun stopped by for lunch today at the AIDS resource center of Wisconsin," he said. "He and his family have been involved in the fight against AIDS for so long and he's so close to our organization, it was great."
According to the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin, Braun surprised the group at lunch by bringing pizzas. The organization is "Wisconsin's leading provider of integrated HIV prevention, care and treatment services."

In recent days, Omar Shaikh, the co-owner of the SURG Restaurant Group, publicly forgave him for use of performance enhancing drugs and credited him for "the amazing things he has done for his community."
"We're always happy to see Ryan," he said. "Quite honestly, we don't have enough champions in the fight against AIDS. We are really proud that Ryan Braun is one of our champions in the fight against AIDS."
A Tweeter tells TODAY'S TMJ4's James Kust that he was at Cardinal Stritch University as well on Wednesday.

Hats= 1(one) completed
Pattern Proofing= 1(one) 97% completed
There has been zero work done on the scarf since the holiday—Skein 2 is still nearing an end—but has not yet been finished up. I'll return to it today.
But—LOOK a new hat (actually an OLD hat, Knit anew!) and the pattern was proofed. (and found wanting and edited, and a few more details need to be added.)
This is the Thistle Down Hat—Isn't it pretty? I know, I know, in this country (US) thistles are considered weeds--(Oh what fools we be!) but in Scotland, its the national flower! Thistles motifs are found in jewelry, on the money, on china and porcelain, and it's considered beautiful—and I agree!
This hat is a lot smoother and softer (the sample is knit in a wool/silk/alpaca blend and is super soft and squishy!) than a real thistle. And I went for the leafier look--(not the spikier look!) with better stitch definition. I bet this pattern would look good in some soft textured yarn --a mohair blend of some sort--that would create more texture on the surface--as a real thistle has! (Way softer texture, but texture all the same!)
This version, done in a DK weight yarn (the child's/small)) size, fits my wig form head perfectly--(the head is about 19 inches) but the same hat (wait for it!) done in worsted yarn is that much bigger again (sized to fit a 22 inch head)-- and fits most adults (well most adult women—maybe without the fun fur, this could be a guy's hat. I don't think many guys would wear it with the fun fur trim—though maybe a reversed stocking knit or garter brim of a pretty violet yarn wouldn't be out of place.
Some adults might want to shorten the stem –(I love the inch long stem) but I wouldn't.
I think, at some point, I might make a very long stem version, with a long (6? 8? 10 inches long) stem that is like a tassel, with some small leaflets on the stem. (and totally out of nature, a mini thistle at the end, instead of a root!)
It will be a day or two (Monday? Tuesday?) before this hat is up for sale—but that's fine. This is a hat for your post holiday queue. Knit yourself one in time for Robert Burns birthday, (Jan. 25th). Wouldn't a thistle hat be just the thing for a Bobby Burns birthday bash? (Better than haggis, for sure!)

Golden State/Denver trade on the table: Andris Biedrins+Dan Gadzuric for Kenyon Martin
Also heard that GS has a trade offer on the table to move Gadzuric and Biedrins to Denver for Kenyon Martin. Can't be done till August 22nd.— Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) June 24, 2010
I just heard about this trade. I'm a GSW fan so obviously I have my own ideas about it, but I wanted to know what Denver fans thought of this potential trade.
