It was a decent day for the Tigers yesterday, as they had seven out of ten wrestlers advance in the tournament. Unfortunately, only one of those (197 Brent Haynes) is still alive on the top of the bracket, while the other six will have their work cut out for them to stay in it and keep advancing towards All-American status (which would require they win their next three in a row). Done on the year are Drake Houdashelt at 157, Zach Toal at 165 and Devin Mellon at HWY.
Action will start at 10am today, and I believe many of the matches will be on ESPNU. For my money, Friday night's session is the best of the entire year, as it will feature the national semi-finals, as well as the high-level wrestlebacks. It will be the top of the top in terms of wrestlers at each class, and certainly worth a click or two during commercials in the hoops tournament.
Once again, some helpful links, and a big thanks to those who kept me company in here yesterday. Hopefully more folks will stop by. Also please remember to rec this to move the thread to the top of the page so folks can find it.

Alan Waters had a tough loss yesterday, and now will have to do some serious work out of the bottom to get to where he should be, which is an All-American. He will start his day against Frey of Princeton before moving on to face the winner of Germaine (EMU) and #11 Snyder (VA)
Nathan McCormick will take on Shelton Mack of Pitt before moving on to potentially face Owen of Boise St. or Quiroga (#9) of Purdue
Nick Hucke will square off against LaValle of ODU to start the morning before possibly facing Goettl of ISU or Port of Edinboro, neither of whom is seeded.
Kyle Bradley, fresh off of two consolation wins already (as he was relegated to the pig-tail consolation match yesterday) looks to keep it going against Busier of Bloomington before a possible match against Santos of Columbia or #9 Habat of Edinboro.
Dorian Henderson will face off against Greg Zannetti of Rutgers before possibly facing Huntley of Navy or #8 Munster of Northwestern.
Mike Larson (who won by pin last night for some extra team points) gets a tough morning draw against #11 Clymer of Hofstra. If he can advance, he will get either Gambrall of Iowa or Avery of Edinboro, neither of whom are seeded.
And finally, Mizzou's final hope at the top of the bracket, #6 Brent Haynes will step out against #3 Matthew Wilps of Pitt. Wilps is 32-3 on the season and has advanced on a 7-3 decision over Bagna Tovujav (yes...seriously) of George Mason and a 11-6 decision over A.J. Kissel of Purdue. Haynes has yet to allow a point, winning 5-0 over Huntley of Michigan and then 6-0 over #11 Micah Burak of Penn.
Speaking of Banga Tovujav, the best name in the tournament still goes to the Citadel wrestler...wait for it...Turtogtokh Luvsandorj.
At any rate, folks at the bottom need to win both matches this morning and then their first tonight to achieve AA status (top 8). A win this morning for Haynes clinches he will finish no worse than 6th.

Some times the simplicity of a question makes it too complex to answer, at least, for flocks of socialists being asked if illegal immigrants should have the right to vote. Apparently, it's a rather flummoxing question.
The Arizona immigration case in the Supreme Court has monopolized the news this week. And where there are oral arguments, there are protesters. MRCTV went out and interviewed the protesters, and most of them seemed a little confused. I'm not sure they even knew what they were protesting. And some didn't even know English.
Euphemism of the day: "No one is illegal. They're only undocumented."

Find the latest legal news in business on range of issues, including law, civil rights, immigration and white-collar crime.
With the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election looming, President Barack Obama has brought immigration to the forefront as he urged Hispanic activists to help him in overhauling immigration laws.
The president recently spoke at the National Council of La Raza, a leading Hispanic civil rights organization. Obama urged Hispanics to create pressure for immigration law reform from the outside in hopes of pressuring change from inside Washington, according to the Washington Post.
Obama has addressed immigration law reform in the past.
With New York celebrating its recent passing of the same-sex marriage law, thousands of couples have already taken advantage of the newly won right.
Community Partners Bancorp, the holding company for Two River Community Bank in New Jersey, announced it has been approved on a preliminary basis for a $12 million investment.
The investment will be received under the company's preferred stock from the U.S. Department of Treasury's Small Business Lending Fund.
"The types of small business loans intended by the SBLF program represent a significant portion of our Company's loan portfolio," said William Moss, president and chief executive officer of Community Partners Bancorp.
Arthur Cutillo, a 34-year-old former New York patent lawyer, has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for his role in an insider trading scheme.
Cutillo was arrested in November 2009 as part of a wide-reaching crackdown on Wall Street wrongdoing undertaken by the federal government's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force.
The California State Assembly recently passed two bills calling for the state's civil rights act to be updated.
Both bills, SB 111 and SB 88, were authored by Democratic State Sen. Leland Yee of San Francisco, and protect the language rights of consumers and voters.
California's Unruh Civil Rights Act ensures businesses cannot deny service to patrons based on characteristics including sex, race, medical condition and sexual orientation.

It was raining red gowns on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet tonight as Kristen Stewart also wore the bright hue to the 'Cosmopolis' premiere.
The 'Snow White and the Huntsman' actress wore a Reem Acra pre-Fall 2012 gown.
I love that she appears to be more comfortable and have a lot more attitude wearing this red crepe gown with lace panels. Maybe it's because she's there as Rob Pattinson's plus one, so the pressure is off somewhat.
Like Natasha Poly, she also matched the plunging gown with a hot red lip colour and her straggly hair, as many of you have put it, was tied back into a messy bun.
A gold Cartier 'Juste Un Clou' bracelet, which she's worn through-out Cannes completed her look.
Which of Kristen's Cannes red carpet looks do you prefer?
Balenciaga or Reem Acra?

Today was the day we finally learned all the official details about the iPhone 5.
For those following the iPhone rumor mill, some of the things we learned about the iPhone 5 did not come as a surprise. As rumored,we now know that the the iPhone 5 is lighter, thinner and has a larger display. In addition, a new processor is featured in the phone, an A6 SoC, which Apple suggested will double the CPU performance.
The iPhone 5 also has a new 8 megapixel camera, which includes improved low-light performance and is 25 percent smaller than the iPhone 4S camera. The new camera has a f/2.4 lens and is made of sapphire crystal, which Apple says is thinner and more durable than glass. The camera also can take photos 40 percent faster. And one new feature available now is a panorama mode, which allows you to take photos up to 28 megapixels in size.
It was also announced that iOS 6 will be available for the iPhone 4S, 4, the iPad 2 and new iPad on Sept. 19. New features in iOS 6 include an updated Siri, more Facebook integration, Apple's own mapping app, and FaceTime video chat over cellular networks.
Apple has decided it is time to move away away from the old 30-pin connector used since 2003.The iPhone 5 will have an 8-pin connector that is 80 percent smaller and reversible, called Lightning. For those who have accessories using the old connector, you can purchase an adapter for $29.
Apple also released upgrades for their iPod lineup. The new iPod Touch will have an A5 chip, which makes it two times faster than the current processor, and the iPod touch will also have Siri, Apple's voice-controlled personal assistant.
A recap of the iPhone 5 specs so far:
So who is getting one? I am tempted, so tempted. My iPhone 4 is looking very sad now. What to do?

- Be vigilant in crowds, restaurants and on public transportation; watch out for people creating distractions and diversions
- When walking around the city, know how to get to your destination in advance so you appear confident in where you are going
In the event of an incident:
If you are involved in any incident, whether onsite or while in the city:
- Call +34 900 77 2014, a free 24-hour Security Service telephone number for assistance and information during the event days. This service covers the entire city of Barcelona (not just the event venue). The number appears on the back of your pass

TNA Impact comes waltzing back into our lives tonight (Feb. 13, 2014) from Manchester, England, on its overseas tour, featuring Bully Ray vs. Mr. Anderson in a casket match, one that has been building for over a month now.
Also scheduled for the show: More on MVP as the new babyface power and how that contrasts with Dixie Carter's heel authority figure role, Samoa Joe and Magnus coming face-to-face to build their pending title match, Chris Sabin vs. Velvet Sky, and much, much more.
To follow along as it all goes down come right back here at 9 p.m. ET to hang out with all your favorite folks from this neck of the woods when the show airs on Spike. Hanging out here is guaranteed to enhance your viewing experience.
Enjoy the evening, Cagesiders!
They open with a promo with the heel leadership in the ring, that being Dixie Carter, Magnus, EC3, and Rockstar Spud. Dixie cuts a promo centered on her heeling it up using her "good" looks. Lot of cheesy lines and saying a lot without saying anything. EC3 jumped in and did the same before Magnus got the mic and ran down the Manchester crowd before pumping himself up saying he's not a paper champion, just an opportunist.
A "boring" chant breaks out and stops Magnus short. Then he gets to MVP and delivers this line: "I don't know who you are or what jail cell you came from..."
That's a great line, actually.
He says he doesn't sell out as champion, which is, of course, complete bullshit. Finally, they're cut off by the lights going out and MVP making his way out to the stage with Samoa Joe, who is decked out in ring gear. Taz bothers to point this out on commentary.
MVP announces officially that Joe vs. Magnus will take place at Lockdown.
Right after, Gunner shows up with the "Feast or Fired" briefcase that guarantees him a shot at the heavyweight title. He apologizes for interrupting and cuts a promo on Magnus. Essentially, Magnus looks ready to work and he's tired of carrying around the briefcase. But he'll give the champ seven days to prepare.
So next week Gunner will take on Magnus and the winner faces Joe at Lockdown.
Dixie grabs the mic and books Gunner vs. EC3 for tonight. The briefcase will be up for grabs.
MVP says he's cool with that and calls EC3, "C3PO". MVP decides to book another match, this one with the briefcase for both the tag title match and the heavyweight title on the line. So it's a ladder match with two briefcases above the ring.
Dixie agrees and that's the end of the segment.
Oh, hey, that match is actually happening right now.
Gunner vs. EC3
Great spot early with EC3 drop-kicking a ladder into Gunner's face and shouting "OWWWW" once he hit the floor. That was fun.
You might guess that interference came within the first couple minutes of the match in the form of Magnus running out and beating down Gunner. In response, James Storm came rushing down and made the save. MVP showed up pissed off that Magnus defied his orders from like five minutes before and re-booked the match, this one a tag team affair.
Same rules apply with the briefcases on the line.
Gunner & James Storm vs. EC3 & Magnus
We're back in and this isn't your traditional tag team match, which is to say no one actually needs to tag in. It's tornado style, y'all. Chaos in the ring at all times. Isn't that how it should be when ladders are used as weapons?
So pro wrestling.
This is a really disjointed, painfully slow match. No one looks entirely sure what to do. They worked to a spot where Magnus and EC3 cleared out the ring but argued over who was going to climb the ladder to grab the briefcases. You know, because a heavyweight title shot is up there and both think it's best they grab that case.
Naturally, their arguing gives Storm and Gunner time to recover and make a big comeback. It isn't long before a botched spot -- or at least it looked that way to me -- sees Storm clothesline Magnus to the outside and end up crashing over himself, so he had to sell like it was designed that way.
Gunner ends up clearing the ring and grabs the briefcases in the most awkward way possible, grabbing the chain holding the cases and dropping down to the ring before unhooking them.
Gunner & James Storm def. EC3 & Magnus
MVP sets up a six-man in a pre-tape backstage with The Bro Mans and Zema Ion taking on The Wolves and a mystery partner, one the heels REALLY won't like.
That's next.
Bro Mans & Zema Ion vs. The Wolves & Samoa Joe
Yeah, Joe's a killer, everybody.
This was actually a pretty good little match and showcased The Wolves in-ring debut in an actual match. It was Joe, however, who tapped Ion with the rear-naked choke.
The Wolves & Samoa Joe def. Bro Mans & Zema Ion
Up next, Abyss speaks for the first time since he was unmasked and revealed as Joseph Park.
He's out in his Abyss ring gear but the mask isn't on and the teeth don't appear to be in. He demands the lights be kept low and calls out Eric Young so he can "come out and see what you've done".
Young makes it way out albeit tentatively.
They have a back-and-forth that includes Young saying he was just trying to help and he proved that Abyss and Joseph Park are the same person but he loves Abyss just like everyone in the audience. That got a nice little pop, surprisingly.
"When I pulled off your mask, I showed you exactly who you are."
Abyss freaks out and asks, "Who the hell am I? Better yet, who the hell are you?" He's going off about how he's carved his body to bits and destroyed other's lives and careers. Wherever he goes, he leaves carnage. Just look at his scars; they tell the story.
"The blood, the tacks, the barbed wire... E-Y ... E-Y ... I can't be him anymore. I can't do what he did anymore with a conscious. The violence, the blood, the destruction... I can't be him anymore."
This is wild.
"What I need... I... E-Y, I need help."
Young responds, "We came this far. Let's finish this together. I can help you, man. I can help."
Abyss freaks out again. "I don't need your help! I don't want your help! You and I are done!"
Again, this is wild.
Abyss says he needs to go away. He needs to go away and fix this, Young's mistake. He needs to find somebody who truly understands him. He's going to find somebody who truly understands him and he's going to fix this.
Mic dropped, mask dropped, boos all around.
MVP vs. Rockstar Spud
This was booked during a pre-tape when MVP was protesting the booking of Velvet Sky vs. Chris Sabin and Spud stepped to him.
This was a squash that featured Spud being an awesome pro wrestling character and MVP being a dominant wrestler. Spud ran while he could, got his licks in how he could, then got popped and went down like he was shot.
Easy peasy.
MVP def. Rockstar Spud
A promo just ran for Jeff Hardy and it's the worst thing I've ever seen, ever. They're letting him run with his Willow character and it's terrifying.
Velvet Sky vs. Chris Sabin
Looks like they're going through with this and Velvet is wearing very little clothing. Sabin grabs the mic before the match and offers to give her the first shot, even closing his eyes for her.
"I don't know what I ever even saw in you. You're nothing but a skank."
She kicked him in the knee in response to this.
"Why did you kick me in the knee?"
She nut shots him.
He calls her no class for it and reveals he was wearing a cup and she's stupid. She nut shots him again, this time Ric Flair style dropping to a knee and using her arm.
Commence beat down.
It doesn't last long because a gargantuan woman shows up and rag dolls Sky with a full nelson. Sabin pins Velvet and the lady who ran in counts the pin while the referee just shrugs his shoulders.
The segment ends with Sabin riding around on the chick's shoulders.
Bobby Roode pre-tapes throughout the night have showcased him trying to run down Dixie Carter and finally doing so and snapping and tossing things everywhere.
He tells someone off camera he's lost it and he needs to go away. He's done.
Retirement angle?
Time for the casket match main event. I'm not even sure the casket is big enough to fit either guy, especially Ray.
Bully Ray vs. Mr. Anderson
Ray is wearing a Liverpool jersey for cheap heat here in Manchester. Anderson gets the rub by ripping it off after a neckbreaker and choking Bully with it before stomping on it.
Just cheap heat all over this match. Smoke and mirrors. Stall and brawl.
This turned into a spotfest, as it was destined to. Ray put Anderson through a table with a powerbomb. That got a "this is awesome" chant from the Manchester faithful. That's awful nice of them.
Ray climbed in the casket and called for a piledriver but it was reversed into a Mic Check, also in the casket.
Anderson put the lid on -- yes, you read that right -- and won the match.
Anderson def. Ray
Unbelievably enough, the show doesn't end on that note. No, we're getting more Dixie, of course!
Carter offers MVP a buyout. She wants his shares for a "significant amount of money". He whistles after seeing how much she's offering and acts as though he's mulling it over.
She got in a few shots about wrestlers being terrible business men. Wonder who that was directed at (cough, Jeff Jarrett, cough).
MVP turns down her offer, saying he didn't come for the money.
She calls him crazy. "Well I am a professional wrestler, so maybe just a little."
Good one.
He offers a match at Lockdown, his team against hers. The winner will assume control of wrestling operations within the company. They bicker back and forth for a short time before Dixie agrees and they have a deal.

Ryan Chaytor shows off a frothy glass of beer in this Seaway News file photo.
CORNWALL, Ontario - A beer lover's paradise is being created next month at Nav Centre in Cornwall.
The Eastern Ontario Festival of Beers is holding a craft beer tasting event May 31 and organizers are planning for as many as 2,000 thirsty patrons to attend.
"This is the first time a large-scale beer tasting event will be held in Cornwall and we're hoping to make it an annual event," said Rob Csernyik, chair of the festival, in a letter to city hall.
City council deemed the event "municipally significant" so that organizers may proceed with applying for a special-occasion permit from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
"By positioning this event as a regional festival, we expect to draw visitors from the entire Cornwall and counties region, as well as visitors from Montreal, New York State and elsewhere in eastern Ontario," continued Csernyik.
Twelve booths offering craft beer samples, as well as five booths offering wine/cider/spirit samples will be included in the festival, not to mention local hot food vendors and artisan food producers.

Product Information
Hogue Wraparound Rubber Grips are the perfect choice for the shooter that is looking for a sleek grip that is both attractive as well as functional. This grip is manufactured from a soft durable rubber and features a lightweight, synthetic skeleton insert that makes up the rigid interior of the grip. The synthetic insert is chemically bonded to the exterior rubber grip insuring that the grip won't delaminate or come apart. Lots of grips have irritating medallions or funky features that can feel uncomfortable during use, the cobblestone (stippled) surface of this grip replaces traditional checkering and allows for good grip control. The material is solvent and oil resistant which means it will not deteriorate or dissolve due to cleaning your firearm. Hogue grips are designed to fit the firearm with no gunsmithing necessary and use the factory mounting hardware.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Kassius Ohno, perhaps better known as Chris Hero from his days on the independent scene, has been released by WWE, according to reports from both PW Insider and the Wrestling Observer.
This news sucks. I, like many of you, were hoping he would be a new member of The Shield one day. Unfortunately, it is not to be. At least he'll be back on the indie scene sooner rather than later. In fact, he already has multiple dates announced, including a booking with Pro Wrestling Guerilla in December and a match with Hurricane Helms for PWS in New Jersey on Nov. 16.
Ohno will be back working under his old Hero name.
You Cagesiders as disappointed as I am that he's back out on the independent scene?

Undefeated heavyweight Alexander Povetkin passed the biggest test of his professional career with a 12-round unanimous decision win (117-113 twice and 116-112) over former beltholder Ruslan Chagaev. The win is totally legitimate. The fact that the win makes Povetkin the WBA heavyweight champ is totally bogus.
Wladimir Klitschko remains the legitimate heavyweight champ but the WBA elevated him to "super" champion status so that Povetkin and Chagaev could fight for the now conveniently "vacant" heavyweight title. What a joke.
Povetkin capped off a stellar amateur career by winning the super heavyweight gold medal at the 2004 Olympics so big things were expected of him as a pro. Instead, the 6'2" Russian has been managed extremely cautiously - some would say overprotected - and only now, at the age of 31, appears prepared to challenge the division's elite fighters. Povetkin may have a belt now, but until he (or anyone else) beats one of the Klitschko brothers in the ring, no one will recognize him as a true heavyweight champion.
In the co-feature, 6'6" Robert Helenius raised his record to 16-0 with a ninth-round TKO of former WBO beltholder Sergei Liakhovich. Helenius knocked Liakhovich down late in round eight and finished him off just 19 seconds into the following round. At 27, Helenius remains a work in progress but has the size and power to provide the heavyweight division with a desperately needed dose of excitement. The "Nordic Nightmare" has now scored stoppage wins over three former champs: Liakhovich, Samuel Peter (KO 9 in April) and Lamon Brewster (TKO 8 in 2010).

Two good heavyweight fights on one card whats going on?Come on America previous home of boxing, it is slipping further and further away. Make these good fights happen, give the fans what they want unless you want to hand world pugilistic dominance to other countries. First we lose Olympic dominance then heavyweight supremacy, is there to be a continuing trend down through the weights. The lower weights are already firmly in the grasp of other nations, we are still fairly strong in "middle" weight categories but not dominant. We keep hearing about boxing's demise, maybe in this country, but certainly not world wide. Believe it or not there is a world beyond these shores. What are they doing right?

It's a shame that such good boxing (probably the best heavy-weight fight I've seen in three years) was not shown on TV in US. Are those guys in EPSN, Showtime, HBO boxing business too arrogant about non-US fighters or plain stupid?

WOW! Helenius really surprised me. What a boxer. I think he will be the champ one day.

Meet Thomas $tith, Right-Wing Republican
(crossposted at Bull City Blue, the newest member of the NC lefty blog family!!!)
Meet Durham mayoral candidate Thomas $tith, extreme right-wing Republican, as he waxes nostalgic for the Reagan years. Of course, this is a non-partisan election, so we don't want to talk about that partisan stuff, right?
After all, Thomas $tith is running on a platform of "change"--innocuous enough. What sort of change, pray tell? Let's take a look at some of Thomas's friends.
Here's the guest list for the little party Thomas is talking about in the video, a fun little gathering called "The Conservative Leadership Conference":
Patrick McHenry
Grover Norquist
Newt Gingrich
Elizabeth Dole
Rudy Giuliani
Richard Viguerie
With friends like that, it's no wonder Thomas $tith wants to make this a non-partisan election. He is, after all, a good little puppet.
I'm not sure how to fix this
But it's breaking the frames. In any case, thanks for posting it. $tith is the pits.
And congrats on the new blog in the Bull City! Very great.

Apache TomEE: A Tomcat for the Cloud
Today Apache announced the release of Apache TomEE v1.0, which adds Java EE features and is ideally suited for the cloud. Tomcat is a popular servlet and lightweight application among much of the Java community, so TomEE should come as welcome news to those who are looking for a cloud solution that retains Tomcat.
This iteration of Tomcat is actually a combination of Apache projects, including OpenEJB, OpenWebBeans, OpenJPA, and MyFaces. Apache's press release claims that TomEE is dedicated to "enhancing production quality," and thus far has found improvements on large applications. More specifically, the stats are showing an increase in startup times by 100-300%:
- Railo 3.3 Custom (44mb WAR): 21.3% of beta2 startup time (369% faster)
- Lift/Scala sample app (23mb WAR): 43.8% of beta2 startup time (128% faster)
- Confluence 3.5.5 (149mb unpacked): 37.6% of beta2 startup time (166% faster)
O'Reiley Media's Tim O'Brien recently interviews the founder of TomEE to discuss the development and applicability of TomEE, specifically as it relates to Java developers:
You can get a hold of the source code, documentation, mailing lists and other useful resources by checking out the TomEE web page linked below.

TomEE+ has all the above minus support for JBoss-specific sar modules. Rather I should say, ActiveMQ, CXF and OpenEJB provide support for JMS with durable subscriptions, JAX-WS and remote EJBs. JSP support is provided by Tomcat. Hibernate can be added as a JPA Provider in the persistence.xml and includng the jars in tomcat/lib/. If using it as the pre-JPA Hibernate, it can likely just be right in the webapp.
Not sure how you'd handle the sar module concept as I'm not that familiar with it. There is some support for scanning applications for @MBean annotations. That's not a standard concept either, so not sure how it lines up with sar modules. If the idea is to register application components with JMX, then there's definitely overlap.

Tommy Chong's Still Got More Weed Than He Can Smoke
It's almost hard to believe that iconic pot humorist and marijuana advocate Tommy Chong started off as an R&B guitarist in the 50's. Since hooking up with Cheech Marin to create the legendary duo "Cheech & Chong," everything fired up leaving him with a resume that includes box office breaking films, hit comedy albums, and even Grammy nominations and an award. Your chance to see this celebrated man is rolling up fast as he's recording his podcast "Chong & Chong" along with his son (and special guests) at the Ontario Improv July 24th. We talked to Chong before his Improv gig and quickly realized that if you like to get high on life and with the laughs, tickets need to be grabbed fast for this smoking hot evening!

He can play both corner infield positions and we may have a need at both. He hits for power, he has gap power, has a strong BA, is young, inexpensive and a FA after this year. If Morales came back in September we could slide Cantu over to 3B and have Izzy rotate between 2B and SS. Now comes the question, is he available, and is there anything we can offer?
I think an offer of Brandon Wood, Tyler Chatwood and Tyler Kehrer would be enough to bring Cantu in. Florida is faced with losing him to FA this winter and Wood, Chatwood and Kehrer would be a tremendously strong trade for them. He's the middle of the order bat we need, he plays the positions we need, the money is right, his circumstances are right, he's not over the hill, I'm not sure why this isn't being explored further.
So far the common names popping up are Derrek Lee, Paul Konerko and Lance Berkman. Well they all come with their price tags and if Kendry came back in September we'd be screwed because one of them or Matsui would go to the bench. If this team isn't confident in Napoli+ platoon player at 1B for the remainder of this season, I truly believe Cantu makes the most sense.
What say you halo faithful?

a poem from Issue 34.1
Memory Is a Bull Market
by Heather June Gibbons
How embarrassing—an ABBA song
looping in my head and the vague sense
I'm being tailed by a squirrel in a red
jumpsuit waterskiing behind a remote-
controlled boat at an auto show.
If I were more than all I've left behind,
I'd have a phantom heart murmur
and perfect skin and not a twinge
at the omission of some polite gesture,
that sharp whiff of yesterday's fried fish,
some moment I neglected in which
something crucial was hidden,
the plastic egg we never found
that fades from teal to a hue much closer
to the color of the real. Once again,
the song recues and rescues, syrupy treble,
then that eponymous chorus, so shrill
and unforgettable. I could tell you lies
so beautiful you'd be sobbing
into your napkin in no time, and what
I couldn't make up, I'd remember.

Ike Pigott, spokesperson with Alabama Power, says power outages weren't caused by demand but by equipment failures.
"It was widespread, every part of state. We had a couple dozen substations that had some type of issue somewhere," Pigott said.
Pigott says some of the outages may not have been related to the cold snap.
But officials with Cullman Electric Cooperative were worried about high demand causing a huge outage.
So the company used its Facebook page and twitter to help avoid that issue. Officials posted information encouraging it's 44,000 customers to conserve power.
"This was a record cold temperature. We had a record winter demand today but that was not over our capacity to be able to deliver power. And it wasn't as high as our summer peak demand has been in the past," spokesperson Brian Lacy said.
Cullman Electric Customers are being told to turn off lights and appliances they aren't using and reduce their thermostat by a few degrees.
Lacy says there was a small number of outages in Cullman due to equipment failure and they were fixed quickly.

In an offseason where we have seen big contract extensions for Aaron Rodgers, Tony Romo and Joe Flacco, another young quarterback has gotten a big contract to stay with his respective club. Per multiple sources, Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions are working to keep him with the club over the next few years. The Lions are negotiating a three-year extension with two years left on Stafford's contract.
Per Ed Werder of ESPN, the extension gives $53 million in new money:
Source says Matt Stafford 3-year extension includes $53M in new money. Under contract to Lions for 5 years with $43M in total guarantees— Ed Werder (@Edwerderespn) July 9, 2013
Stafford evokes mixed emotions from Lions fans. Since he was drafted in 2009, he has only played a complete season twice (2011, 2012). Aside from that, the Lions have only made the playoffs once and were a one-and-done in 2011. On the other hand, Stafford threw for over 5,000 yards and 41 touchdowns in 2011 and almost surpassed the 5,000 yard mark again last year. Stafford helped to pave the way for Calvin Johnson's record-setting season last year. He's also only 25 years old.
Speaking of Johnson, Stafford has been set up quite well at the receiver position since his days at the University of Georgia. As Daniel Jeremiah of the NFL Network pointed out in an obvious way, Stafford has had the luxury of having the Bengals' A.J. Green as a Bulldog, and Johnson while with the Lions.
Regardless, these deals could be indicators of what to expect with a new extension with Bengals quarterback, Andy Dalton. If Dalton makes big strides in his third year, he could be the next young quarterback in line for a big extension. It's a rather fluid situation, really. Stafford has an overall losing record as a starter, and Romo only has one playoff win in his career. However, Rodgers and Flacco each have a Super Bowl ring to their name.

This week is crime victims' rights week. It's meant to honor people who have suffered through a violent crime and remember those who lost their lives as the result of a violent crime.

Ok, here for 2 weeks now I have been finding myself cruising around on OSU fan boards like orangepower.com and ESPN etc, and I just can't hold in my frustrations anymore... Where do these guys get off? There is so damn much trash talking about the raiders coming from these guys its ridiculous, I just got done looking at a discussion board 11 pages long with comments just bashing Tech and Tech fans in general (not even aggies or Longhorns bashed us this much)...
I mean is it just me or did we not put these guys in their place hard enough last year? Here it was, they came into town touting Kendall Hunter and Dez Bryant were unstoppable, and how Robinson was the best QB out there, ooohhh Tech's defense had no chance of stopping them... and the contest was over by half time! I mean it wasn't even a game, in my opinion our D is stronger this year than last year... so what is out there to say we don't make them look even worse this year?
Actual football teams aside, I have been completely caught up in the "traditions" OSU seems to be so proud of... So after reading the posts this is what I gathered...
Tech Traditions that seem to have influenced OSU's "Proud Tradition"
-The Masked Rider has been a time honored tradition at Tech for many years now, riding out at football games from SWC days to now... Somewhere around the year of 1984, OSU decided this was pretty cool and adopted 'Bullet' (OSU's answer to the Masked Rider) Kind of frustrating but understandable ... I guess
-'Guns Up' has a wikipedia page which dates the salute back to 1961, starting widespread use in 1971. I tried to look up OSU's hand gun signal they use these days and have only been able to find comments posted by past alumni... From this I gathered that the 'pistols firing' (or whatever they call is) didn't surface till the 90s, and looks an awful like the guns up don't you think? Many alumni were making noise that they refused to do it as it looks like they are cheering for TTU. However, current students claim the symbol has been around forever and we need to "deal with it"
-Lets fast forward a bit to "Orange Power" ... now I noticed earlier this year here on this board people noticing during the OSU v UH game, a chant sounding awfully close to "Raider Power". Now this was discussed at length http://www.doubletnation.com/2009/9/8/1021142/did-i-hear-orange-power-during-the
Now on these OSU boards they like to fire back claims that we stole their beloved cowboy mascot...
-How in the HELL does Raider Red look like their cowboy???? Their mascot is a dude dressed as a cowboy wearing a giant plastic cowboy head. I just don't see how this is even argued, who the hell wants their mascot?
I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to see Tech beat the hell out of Xerox State again! Going into the season they were my pick as the #1 most over-rated team in college football, and they have not disappointed me so far. 2 SI covers, endless media coverage, and a top 10 start and it comes to this... Tech can fully expose OSU once and for all this weekend and I just can't hold in my excitement anymore!
Mind you, I routinely read other teams boards going into the games to try to pick up some insight into where they are coming from, though I never post on there... I just find that to be in bad taste, but I cannot wait to see what they have to say after this one.
OK, guess I'm done ranting for a while

Brent's View: Back to My Entrepreneurial Roots
Posted 2 years, 4 months, 1 week, 1 day, 3 hours, 13 minutes ago by Leonard White
Growing up in a house of entrepreneurs where both parents literally worked out of our garage at some point, I was exposed at an early age to the incredible ride that is a start-up: the hard work, the sweat equity, the true grit it takes to start something on your own. Paradoxically, that actually looked appealing to me, so after a few years of consulting I ventured...

EDIT NUSS: Promoted for extreme amounts of awesomeness. If you read Part 1, make sure you read this. Seems to largely confirm what most of us assumed anecdotally. HUGE props to TiltingRight for this in-depth piece.
After the first post here, regarding the attrition that occurred over the 04, 05 and 06 recruiting classes, I made the case that the loss of bodies from those years caused a gaping hole in our depth chart. This was, in turn, a big part of the reason we were seeing the losses mount up in the 08 and 09 seasons.
In the comments, I mused about comparisons to other teams, and had a sense we weren't outside the norm of attrition, just at the bottom end. Well, after doing some research and plotting the data into a spreadsheet, I found some interesting stuff.
First, some disclaimers:
- The information I used to put this together comes from the scout.com databases. Their rankings of individual players and entire classes are inherently subjective. They also (obviously) don't take into account how the player will acclimate to college in general or D1 ball in particular. Further, they can't take into account how the player will develop mentally or physically, and often don't even project the player's position correctly.
- The raw data presented here does not take into account whether someone was a JC transfer, and thus played two years as a physically mature player, if he was an incoming freshman who never saw the field, whether they left early to play in the NFL or whether they were highly sought after or even for that matter ranked coming in. In other words, there's not all attrition is equal, not all players in a class are equal.
- The numbers from the 08 class and particularly the 09 class might be sketchy, as often there aren't any stories about players that aren't making it to the field, and so it's tough to gauge whether they're actually with the team.
- The sample size used is still small. Unfortunately, while I found the time to do this research, and given a longer lead time could do more, I thought timeliness was important, and as we're wrapping up the season, waiting longer to crunch more numbers would have made the charts even less apropos.
- Last, I deliberately left out information on Arizona. This is because the Wildcats scout.com site had some oddball stuff going on. Their database had huge gaps in records (according to the database, half of their players missed the 2008 season, and rejoined in 2009) which threw off the numbers from the 06, 07 and 08 classes that I made what I was able to gather completely worthless. Too bad, because I think the numbers for Arizona might have given us a glimpse of what we could be looking forward to...? Who knows.
The charts read as follows (from left to right):
The school and recruiting year
The national and Pac10 ranking for that year (36.6 would be 36th nationally, 6th in Pac10)
The bold and italicized number is the total signed LOIs that year.
The numbers under the year is the remaining players from that class which participated at the beginning of that year. If a player left during spring camp they're still counted. If they were injured for the entire year, or even a part of the year, they're still counted.
Total attrition from each class in 08 and then 09.
The total number of players from 04 - 06 classes playing in 08 (would be Jrs and Srs) and the percentage of an 85 scholarship roster they make up.
The total number of players from the 04-07 classes playing in 08 (all previous classes) and the percentage of an 85 scholarship roster they make up.
The total number of players from the 05-07 classes playing in 09 and the percentage of an 85 scholarship roster they make up.
The total number of players form the 05-08 classes playing in 09 and the percentage of an 85 scholarship roster they make up.
Anything stand out here?
WSU has 67 scholarship athletes this year from the 5 previous recruiting classes. Now there are some transfers, and some walk-ons might have earned a scholly here or there, but holy cow! 67 out of 85 possible.
OSU had classes with 33 and 30 signees!?!? Now the note I made above about missions trips comes into factor here, but still... wow.
12 players on the WSU roster going into this season from the 05 and 06 classes. Oregon had 14 if you include a couple holdovers from 04 (grayshirt? medical RS?). ASU was next with 17. On the other end, UCLA had 29! Stanford and OSU had 28. The rest were around 20.
So what does the data say?
Well, WSU is consistantly at the top for attrition. And by a wide margin this year on the 05-07 classes (8%+). Oregon bumps us in the 05-08 classes from THIS year's roster.
ASU is not far behind regarding attrition, and pretty close in the standings, as well.
Stanford probably has the consistantly lowest attrition rate, with OSU, UW and UCLA in the running behind them.
Then what can can we draw out?
Well, the teams with the highest attrition don't always lose. WSU and ASU had the consistently highest attrition (both had APR issues, too) and lost a lot. Oregon and USC has been in the upper half of all but one of the four measures but are two of the better teams in the conference. So apparently, if you can recruit like USC and Oregon have lately, you can withstand higher attrition relatively well.
The teams with the lowest attrition don't always win. UW and UCLA aren't doing too hot, considering how much of those earlier recruiting classes are still on their roster. OSU and Stanford, however are doing pretty well with their stable of players. In fact, they've done it without the highly ranked recruiting classes UW and UCLA had, too, by developing those players and building depth.
The teams with the highest ranked classes don't always win. USC and Oregon do pretty consistantly. UCLA and UW don't pretty consistantly.
The teams with the lowest ranked classes don't always lose. OSU has shown that you can consistantly win by developing less talented players. Stanford has started to come on as well. WSU and ASU have been performing "as expected" with lower half classes.
So what can we really conclude here?
Well, it seems to me that the Cougs hit the perfect storm of poop the last couple of seasons. Based on the above we've been hit three ways:
Strike 1 - Horrendous attrition. Consistantly (and by far on most counts) the lowest number of holdovers from earliest available recruiting classes.
Strike 2 - Poor recruiting. Superior talent in the later classes can make up for poor retention in earlier classes. We are obviously not USC or Oregon.
Strike 3 - Coaching change. The Oregon transfer of power is the rare exception to coaching changes. In a lot of ways, so is ours. Most are like UW's or UCLA's. Constantly underperforming until the players lose faith in you. I don't think the players ever gave up on Doba, which actually made the transition to Wulff harder. There's no hard and fast way to measure discontent in the locker room, but based on the number of players jumping ship here, as opposed to UCLA or UW (so far), it's clear our players were not ready to make a wholesale change in all facets of what they did under Doba.
So does this absolve Wulff and staff from this year's results? I wouldn't make that argument. I would, however say that this combined with the injury situation this year makes a strong "mitigating circumstances" argument for the overall season.
Is this going to make anyone feel better about the season we just concluded? Again, I wouldn't say that. It does nothing to answer whether or not this staff can gameplan, make adjustments or manage a game as it progresses. It should, however, give us a bit of perspective on how we stack up, and why we are where we are.
Is there anything here that can give us any hope for the future? It depends on what perspective you want to take, but I would argue that there is, assuming Wulff and Co. can 1) upgrade the talent; 2) get them to/keep them on campus; and 3) develop them as players on and 4) off the field.
While it's always a work in progress, you can see we're upgrading the talent by what's already been shown on the field from our true frosh and a handful of rs frosh and true sophs. The attrition has been much closer to a "normal" curve than what we saw early in Doba's tenure. The thing to be seen is if the staff can develop the players. Off the field, I think they have. The kids packed on serious pounds, and are looking more like Pac10 football players. Three out of four is a darn good start. Now we've gotta see if they can develop them into playing like Pac10 football players.

News: Former Bad Boy Shyne Experiences A "Miracle" [Audio]
Monday, Nov 28, 2011 1:30PM
Former Bad Boy Records rapper Shyne has linked up with fellow Jewish hip-hop artist Matisyahu for a new record entitled "Miracle."
Matis has opened up about the remixed song's importance, especially to his Jewish fanbase.
Jewish rappers Matisyahu and Shyne band together to celebrate the "Miracle" of Hanukkah. The former Bad Boy adds a verse to the reggae star's single about the Festival of Lights, which appears on his Miracle EP. "I recorded this aiming to make a celebratory, feel-good song that still gets across the depth of Judaism rather than the typical watered down Jewish humor about matzah balls and Chanukah Harry," said Matisyahu. "I'm trying to make the Jewish kids out there proud." (Rap-Up)
Earlier this year, Matisyahu spoke to SOHH about Shyne's new lifestyle and religious direction.
"I read the article and right away reached out to him," Matis said referring to learning about Shyne's newfound faith in Judaism. "I had a conversation with him and he was real cool. My feeling is that he's [serious about his conversion]. Somehow, he really connected to this. He seems real about it and inspired when you're talking to him -- But he's still the same guy. When you listen to him talk, when you hear him talk, you hear where he's from. He didn't change who he is. I'm sure he changed his lifestyle and a lot of things but I went through a very similar process, so I respect that a lot. I think it could be really good for Jewish people for him to do something like that. I think he can be an inspiration. He'll be in New York soon...Definitely [expect a collaboration from us], we've already been back and forth on the e-mails. We talked about doing some shows together." (SOHH)
Last November, Shyne discussed maintaining his street credibility while now walking a sanctified path.
"All these rules, rules, rules," the rapper said about the strict religious requirements. "But you know what you have if you don't have rules? You end up with a bunch of pills in your stomach." Even though Shyne sports a Hasidic-style hat and a black jacket that hangs to his knees, the Brooklyn-raised rapper said he hasn't lost his street cred. "There's nothing in the Chumash [a Jewish book] that says I can't drive a Lamborghini," said Shyne, who was released from prison last year after serving nine years. (New York Post)
The rapper previously defended his choice to dress in traditional Hasidic fashion and pondered how the public could question him but applaud pop star Lady Gaga's controversial outfits.
"There's a girl by the name of Lady Gaga and she's the #1 pop artist in the world and she wears outfits that are stitched together with meat... So if millions of people don't have a problem with someone wearing meat as an outfit, how could you imagine they would have a problem with a guy like me who stands for everything that any true man stands for, who has walked through a fire, who is honorable and whose life is based on integrity?"

- "How old are you, Brian? You ought to know by now that something always breaks up love affairs unless both parties are willing to compromise themselves. And that compromising is harder to do the older and less flexible and more independent you are. It just isn't in you, Brian. You could no more get married now than you could become a priest, or a sculptor, or a greengrocer."
Duffy opened his mouth to voice angry denials, then one corner turned up and he closed it. "Damn you," he said wryly. "Then why do I want to, half the time?"
Aurelianus shrugged. "It's the nature of the species. There's a part of a man's mind that can only relax and go to sleep when he's with a woman, and that part gets tired of always being tensely awake. It gives orders in so loud a voice that it often drowns out the other components. But when the loud one is asleep at last, the others regain control and chart a new course." He grinned. "No equilibrium is possible. If you don't want to put up with the constant seesawing, you must either starve the logical components or bind, gag and lock away in a cellar that one insistent one."
Duffy grimaced and drank some more brandy. "I'm used to the rocking, and I was never one to get motion-sick," he said. "I'll stay on the seesaw."
Aurelianus bowed. "You have that option, sir."

- When they'd gone the old man turned around to watch the sun's slow descent. The Boat of Millions of Years, he thought; the boat of the dying sungod Ra, tacking down the western sky to the source of the dark river that runs through the underworld from west to east, through the twelve hours of the night, at the far eastern end of which the boat will tomorrow reappear, bearing a once again youthful, newly reignited sun.
Or, he thought bitterly, removed from us by a distance the universe shouldn't even be able to encompass, it's a vast motionless globe of burning gas, around which this little ball of a planet rolls like a pellet of dung propelled by a kephera beetle. Take your pick, he told himself as he started slowly down the hill...But be willing to die for your choice.

Joe considered it. "Better than taking a lot of trouble and getting nothing."
Dundee sipped the coffee. He didn't seem to have heard Joe. "There's so much weariness and fatigue in it all. For every action there is an equal...stupefaction. No, that might be bearable—it's greater than the action."
