Diner Reviews
Our server seemed overwhelmed. Not
sure if he was given to many duties or was just not good at juggling things. I had the brisket which I thought was a bit overdone. My friend had a salad that was missing listed ingredients. My friend also did not like the fact that our server said in order to get their famous pretzel bread that you must make a special request."
Dined on 8/14/2014
Being in clayton I would have
expected more. We sat outside which was a mistake because our server was also working the bar. Took one hour to get our food. Sodas were flat. Server did not clear drinks away as we got new ones and refills. Will not be going back."
Dined on 7/19/2014
Lunch is always a hit! The
burgers are delicious -- well seasoned and packed with flavor. The fries are deliciously unique. Have had dinner a couple of times, once with our young child (age 2 at the time), but found lunch to be much better in regards to menu options and atmosphere."
Dined on 7/10/2014
Get the goody butter cake and
chocolate ice cream for dessert is amazing"
Dined on 6/20/2014
It was horrible and we wouldn't go
back again. The service was awful. We ate outside and I felt like we were on a picnic (or even worse). The food was bad and there was not one positive thing we could say about the entire evening."
Dined on 6/14/2014
At $21.00 per person for a
sandwich, a small side and soft drink....and a bit longer wait than expected, I'm not sure this works for lunch!"
Dined on 6/13/2014
The chicken fingers were
overcooked. Worse chicken fingers I have ever had. My husband's ribs were tough. No impressed at all with the food."
Dined on 6/6/2014
We were in St. Louis for only 2
days and we were staying at the Ritz. J. Buck's was just a pleasant, short walk from the hotel and we had an early evening meal in order to be on time for a concert. The food was very good, the atmosphere was trendy casual, and our service was very good. We were happy we chose J. Buck's. We chose the restaurant after visiting their website. "
Dined on 5/17/2014
I was looking for an upscale
dinner to celebrate an anniversary. We have had very good experiences before at J. Bucks, so thought it would be a nice choice. I left disappointed. The menu has changed to compete with mid-level chains, so there were very few good entree choices (many more burger and sandwiches than entrees). I got a filet, but unfortunately it was sub-par. Although there was a sauce on it, it was still dry on the outer edges. The steak also had a unpleasing taste to it. Almost like it was bad. The sauce was no help in covering up the unpleasing flavor, as it was a vinegar base that I could taste too much of the vinegar. Service was ok - had 3 servers - none seemed to really care how we were doing."
Dined on 5/13/2014
A great place to meet a friend for
lunch. Great food, reasonable price, great location."
Dined on 4/29/2014
I had ate at Buck's close to the
ballpark before but this was my first visit to J. Bucks in Clayton. Nice restaurant in a great area.. it was just my wife and I. I had made reservations and although we were a little early, we were seated right away.. Food and service was excellent.. I will be back! Jack buck was my broadcast hero and it was fun to see all the pictures."
Dined on 4/26/2014
I was a little upset because we
had placed our order in advance to be ready when we arrived for our reservation since we only had an hourlunch and after speaking with someone I was certain that would be the case. Instead we waited for nearly 25 minutes after arriving before our food came to us (which defeated the purpose of pre-ordering) and it wasn't hot. I would have thought that it would be hot because I only assume the reason for the wait was because they had to cook the food right then."
Dined on 4/23/2014
We had a great time at J Buck's
Clayton. Service was quick our server was good and the food was GOOD!!!! Very nice time."
Dined on 4/5/2014
Service was slow, poor. We had 4
different people serving out table at different times, and they each were polite but seemed like we were troubling them. Calamari was undercooked; some bits were good, some bits still had a touch of raw wet dough. Salmon was okay, nothing special. Husband's ribs were not interesting. Too bad. We live really close, but will not return. The inside of the restaurant is so pretty but that's not enough to prompt a return."
Dined on 4/3/2014
J. Buck's is a great place for a
quick business lunch. The food selection accommodates a wide range of tastes and the price is very reasonable for the location. Wait staff are outstanding."
Dined on 4/1/2014
I put my reservation in early on
the date we were going to lunch; I hadn't realized we had 6-7 coming, not just 4. Therefore, I asked for the private dining area, it was available and we got it. Very nice, great area for business meeting. Food there is always good. Everything went well."
Dined on 3/25/2014
The Wings We're Excellent. The
brisket was dry, ribs burnt. I would go back for the wings. Maybe for a happy hour but the rest of the meal was lack luster."
Dined on 2/14/2014
We had made a reservation for
Valentines Day, and I was looking forward to an evening of romance and fine dining. I had been to their old location at highway K and 40 (now closed) which was very upscale - dimly lit, candles on the tables, heavy leather bound menus, and an extensive selection of delicious entrees. I was very disappointed when I walked in and discovered that it was basically just a glorified sports bar, with a menu that was mostly comprised of wings, burgers, and sandwiches. They did have a small selection of entrees, from which I ordered salmon that was at best just "ok". It was all the more disappointing given that we had driven over an hour to get there. I would not go back."
Dined on 2/14/2014
I shared the smoked chicken wings
with my family as an appetizer. They were wonderfully smoked, not overpowering. For my dinner I had the ribs and sausage with the macaroni and cheese. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and the sauce was delicious. The sausage and macaroni were flavorful. The amount of food for the price was priced and sized perfectly. The staff could have been more attentive and quicker with delivering the meal. The meal could have been hotter. Overall a good dining experience."
Dined on 2/14/2014
When entertaining clients it is
often hard to find a decent restaurant that has a wide variety of food. J. Bucks is the place! Whether it is business related or a special occasion this would please anyone that visits."
Dined on 1/31/2014
Had reservations with 10 friends
for my 40th, we were seated fairly quickly in a small private room. I hadn't dined here before and was pleasantly surprised by the room with its own TV and music controls. Two servers introduced themselves and said they would be taking care of us, though we really only saw one of them. Drink service was slow from the start, with bar drinks taking 10+ minutes to arrive. The food was delivered in a reasonable amount of time, except for 1 person's. Her entree arrived 15 minutes later, with nothing but a curt apology and then service got even slower. The last straw was we asked for our checks at 9:05, we didn't leave until 9:45! 40 minutes to pay is just unacceptable."
Dined on 1/25/2014
My first visit - service was
great, loved our waitress! Loved the atmosphere of the place. A little disappointed with the pre-picked Restaurant week menu. Choices were great - spinach salad was delicious, filet filled with crab was not as expected. Flimsy-size and I couldn't even detect crab at all. Wanted the pecan pie for dessert, but they were out. I was offered a rain check, which was nice. The other dessert was a chocolate cake. Very disappointing. Dry and just not good all-around. I really want to go back and try more off their regular menu, as I know pre-fixe, restaurant-week menus don't always showcase the best a restaurant has to offer. BBQ looks good. Will definitely be back to try more."
Dined on 1/23/2014
The special menu was very nice,
but the Osso Bucco pork shank was one of the BEST dishes we have ever eaten in our lives!!! If it was on the menu, we would have to come in regularly for a fix! Kudos to the chef!"
Dined on 1/23/2014
My server was awesome and the vibe
was great. Food? Not so much of a big fan. And it was my first Jbucks visit."
Dined on 1/22/2014
Granted, we made a late 9:45,
reservation, but said that we would be ready to order right away and would sit in the bar so as not to keep a server late.There was no one at the front or in the bar.A chef wandered out,I told him we had a reservation,He said, "oh, you do"? and went back to get someone.We ordered off of the CRW menu, but only my bf's entree came out.I guess the bartender thought I wanted to pay the full price for just a salad and dessert? Hmm. I would think that would have warranted further questioning. So I waited for my entree while my bf ate his.Compliments to the kitchen, however, the food was great, ultimately saving the experience, but I judge a restaurant most by the service, and I'm sorry to say that I will not be back."
Dined on 1/21/2014
I work in Clayton so I eat at J
Bucks a lot for lunch. Good place to take clients and business associates. Never had a bad experience during the day. This was the first time we tried for dinner. It was during Clayton restaurant week and unfortunately our experience was not a good one. The steaks were overcooked, the carrots were undercooked and the service was slow."
Dined on 1/21/2014
good food for a good price. Nicely
presented. Good for a family dinner or dinner with friends."
Dined on 1/11/2014
Wanted to watch World Series game
while eating but not st the bar. Hostess very helpful. I stopped in a couple of hours before reservation time and she set aside a table in the dining room with a good view of the game. My tilapia was really delicious but my friends Cobb salad was very average, but maybe that's what a Cobb salad is. The service was a little under par. We thought the " waiter" may have been a busboy filling in as he knew very little about the menu. We ordered desert of gooey cake with vanilla ice cream upon the suggestion of the "new" waittess who came by at this time. The cake was fabulous."
Dined on 10/24/2013
The food is good and what a great
time ot soak up some Cardinal memorbilia."
Dined on 10/8/2013
Nice outdoor patio. We enjoyed
happy hour and a good meal. The ribeye and tilapia were very good. Servers took good care of us."
Dined on 10/4/2013
I've eaten at both Buck's
locations (Downtown & Clayton) and the Downtown experience was definitely much better. Waitstaff at Clayton were not very friendly. The Ribs were great (I would get them again), but that's probably the only thing I would go back for. The Brisket was very dry & sliced super thin - almost like brisket jerky."
Dined on 9/14/2013
We ate on the patio. the service
was poor with long intervals between seeing a server. my wife ordered a Ceasar salad. i ordered a mixed greens salad. i received the mixed greens salad before my entree. my wife did not receive her salad until after her entree. it was not a Ceasar. it was mixed greens. I got tilapia and my wife got salmon. Initially they took the entrees to the wrong table. Both entrees were fair but not great."
Dined on 9/13/2013
Fast service, tasty food, rib eye,
pizza,, ribs, except for the the zHalibut-dry."
Dined on 9/6/2013
Third time we ate here. Food good,
but we had a SLOW service experience -- took 45 minutes to get our food and it wasn't busy. We were seated on the upper platform at the rear of the restaurant. Our first server took our order promptly and then disappeared. We ended up with another waitress, and an assistant, but felt as if we were forgotten. This new waitress really never checked in with us, but let the assistant check in a couple of times. Finally we sought out another waitress who went to the kitchen and got our food, which may have finally been on the way out. Will probably give it another chance next time in St. Louis, but will be wary."
Dined on 8/23/2013
I frequent there for lunch since
it so close to my work. Great food, great service and generally timely. Best to get a reservation through Open Table!"
Dined on 8/20/2013
We were in town and had the
occasion for a nice dinner to celebrate. J. Buck's was just down the street, so we chose it for a good menu and easy access. Service was great, and the food was awesome! I thought I had made up my mind on what I wanted until the server read off the specials, which were so good I changed my selection. Even the finicky seven year old with us was satisfied."
Dined on 8/7/2013
This was our first time at J
Buck's and we were not disappointed. Some in our party of 6 just wanted sandwiches, others wanted a full course dinner. The salmon special was delicious and the side dishes served with it were original and tasty. The bbq ribs were very good and the brisket sandwiches were also outstanding There was a pre-wedding party going on in the bar area but the noise did not filter into the restaurant and we had excellent service."
Dined on 7/12/2013
Meat Board was excellent n really
enjoyed their ribs. Good Mojito. We were able to get in with no wait."
Dined on 7/5/2013
The servers would not leave us
alone. From the time we sat down the servers would not leave us alone-even after being told that we were not in a hurry and wanted to visit and enjoy our time together. The crowning blow was the server clearing 2 plates and asking if we wanted the desert menu before 2 of us were finished eating. The food was excellent but the service ruined the evening!"
Dined on 6/15/2013
Honestly the food quality used to
be better. It was just ok not enough to consider coming back for lunch."

Do I need to send a recording with my application?
Mannes College requires applicants in piano, violin, cello, flute, voice, and composition to submit prescreening materials as part of their application for admission. You must submit your recording electronically with your online application using the online application. If you are majoring in another area, please do not send any additional materials (such as CDs or tapes) with your application.
Do you grant application fee waivers?Mannes does not waive application fees. Call the New School Office of Financial Aid if you have a question about this policy. The student information number is 877.528.3321.
Should I send more than one recommendation letter?
Mannes requires each applicant to submit two letters of recommendation. The first letter should be from a recent music teacher or professional musician and should focus on the applicant's talent and performance ability. The second letter should be from a teacher or guidance counselor who is familiar with the applicant's academic aptitude. The letters should be submitted online through www.unifiedapps.org or sent directly to the Admission Office. The complete full name and major field of study of the applicant should appear in each letter.
How will I know whether you have received my application form?We will email a confirmation to the email address you provide on the application.
How can I find out whether you have received all the support materials required in my application?An Individual application checklist will be posted on the Admission Hub soon after we receive your application.

is essential that we receive your application, as complete as possible,
as well as the $100 application fee by the deadline. If you anticipate
that other required materials, such as the letters of recommendation or
the official transcripts, will be late, please ensure that they arrive
shortly after the deadline.
Questions About Auditions
Please see the Auditions section of this website for details regarding audition requirements. In addition to the in-person performance audition, all areas of musicianship are evaluated. Placement exams and interviews in ear training, sight singing, dictation, keyboard skills, theory, and analysis are given so that we can assess what coursework an applicant will require to complete the rigorous program at Mannes.
Do I have to audition in person at Mannes, or can I just send a recording?
Applicants to the college are required to perform at a live, in-person audition, take an entrance examination, and have an interview. If you are living outside of the United States and applying for a non-prescreening major, you may be able to audition by DVD. Please send a request with the video recording to the Office of Admission at 150 West 85th Street, NY, NY 10024.
I am a master's degree or professional studies diploma applicant. What is my audition repertoire?
Applicants for the Master of Music and Professional Studies Diploma programs should refer to the repertoire list for undergraduates for guidelines. Graduate applicants are expected to perform standard repertoire at an advanced level, from memory as appropriate. Choose pieces that reflect your advanced abilities. Consult your private teacher if you have questions about what is appropriate.
What are the audition dates?Audition dates
What is a better time to audition, March or May?
We recommend that applicants audition in March. A March audition affords applicants better chances for acceptance and scholarship awards, as well as greater private teacher availability. May auditions are just as competitive, but reduced scholarship and teacher availability make it less advisable. Also, certain majors may be closed in May if enrollment is filled from March auditions. The deadline to request a March audition is December 1.
What is my audition time?Information about the time of your audition will not be available
until five to six weeks after we receive your application. We will
contact you one month before any appointments.
What if I have an audition at Mannes and another school scheduled on the same day?
If you have auditions at other schools that conflict with your appointment at Mannes, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are aware of a scheduling conflict before receiving your audition date, please send your request to email@example.com as well. We will do our best to work with you to accommodate your schedule.
How competitive is admission at Mannes?
Mannes is a highly competitive conservatory. The admission process is designed to provide us with a complete picture of each applicant. The Admission Committee weighs a variety of criteria, including performance ability, musicianship skills, and potential as well as English language aptitude (for applicants whose first language is not English), musical and academic background, and letters of recommendation.
What SAT scores do I need in order to get in to Mannes? We are concerned most about your artistry and therefore do not require SAT I/II or ACT scores.
What percentage of applicants are accepted to Mannes?
The number of applications varies each year; therefore, it is hard to provide specific percentage. We generally admit about one third of applicants.
What programs do you offer at Mannes?
See the programs of study page of this site for information about our degree and diploma programs.
Does Mannes offer a jazz program?
Mannes trains aspiring classical musicians. We do not offer jazz or contemporary music studies in our curriculum. If you are interested in these areas, please contact the Office of Admission for The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music at 212.229.5150 x4589.
Can I take classes at Mannes as a part-time or nonmatriculated student?
Mannes offers music instruction for part-time and nondegree students through its Extension Division. Please contact that office at 212.580.0210 x4802 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Does Mannes offer scholarships? Yes. Mannes awards merit-based scholarships to approximately 75 percent of its students. Scholarship awards are determined by a committee of faculty members, administrators, and financial aid advisors at the time of the audition. Most awards are between 25 and 50 percent of tuition.
What can you tell me about financial aid?
New School Student Financial Services strives to ensure that all qualified students attending Mannes benefit from the broad array of financial aid programs available, including scholarships, grants, and loans.
Need-based scholarships, loans, and federal grants are available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents who submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA code: 002780). This application can be obtained online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Does Mannes offer housing? Where is your residence hall located? Mannes College The New School for Music offers its students accommodation through New School Housing. New School Housing provides modern and affordable accommodations to undergraduate and graduate students.
While students are free to choose to live in any residence hall offered by The New School (according to degree program), Mannes first-year students are assigned placement in the apartment-style suites whenever possible. Housing is guaranteed for first-year students.
Many Mannes students prefer to find accommodations independent of The New School. We do not require students to live in on-campus housing. For information about nonuniversity housing, we recommend consulting the New York Times and Village Voice websites.
How can I contact or meet a faculty member? The Admission Office encourages you to meet with a member of our faculty with whom you are interested in studying. If you would like to schedule a lesson or meeting, email a faculty member directly or call our office at 212.229.5150 or 800.292.3040. Please remember that you are auditioning us, too!
Can I take a tour of the school? Tours of Mannes, scheduled through the Admission Office, are available Monday through Friday. We think there is no better way for you to learn about our community of artists. To schedule a visit, register for a tour or call our office at 212.229.5150 or 800.292.3040. You may also request more information by mail.
I would like to transfer to Mannes. What do I need to know? Students interested in transferring from other colleges may enter at the start of the second semester in January, subject to the approval of the Admission Committee. The application deadline for mid-year enrollment is November 1. Auditions take place in early December. Please contact the Admission Office for information regarding the number of openings. Not all fields will have openings for mid-year entrance.
Once accepted, transfer students may receive credit toward the Mannes degree pending results of entrance tests, interviews, and consultation with the director of Academic Advisement. Please note that transfer-year status can affect the level of your financial aid award.
Transfer applicants who have completed fewer than 24 college credits (on a semester system) must submit high school transcript(s) in addition to college transcripts. Credits for music courses taken elsewhere are not automatically transferable, though credit may be given towards a Mannes degree pending the results of the entrance test, interview, and transcript evaluation.
We recommend that transfer applicants refer to the Mannes Catalog for specific information.
What is the minimum score needed on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) for Mannes admission? Mannes does not have a minimum required TOEFL score. Scores are considered in conjunction with the English Placement Test you will take when you audition at Mannes. TOEFL scores must be sent directly to the college by the testing service. The New School/Mannes College The New School for Music code is 2398.
I currently attend a U.S. high school. Do I have to submit a TOEFL score? If English is your second language, you are required to submit a TOEFL score. Mannes does not accept SAT scores in place of the TOEFL.
"Native language" is defined as the main language you grew up speaking at home.
I went to/currently attend a U.S. college or university. Do I have to submit a TOEFL score? Yes. We request that TOEFL scores be current (not more than two years old). Scores more than two years old will not be accepted unless the applicant has been studying in a college or university in the United States and includes a letter requesting exemption with his or her
application material.
I took the TOEFL more than two years ago. Do I have to retake the test?
Yes. Scores must be current (no more than two years old) and must be sent directly to Mannes by the Educational Testing Service.

Recently there has been some buzz around our young talent at the linebacker position. The team has done nothing to dissuade that buzz as they found it acceptable to part ways with oft-injured Stevenson Sylvester in the first round of cuts despite being labeled as the first off the bench in support of our ILB position as well as Adrian Robinson who had garnered praise from LeBeau about his promise as a rusher and his work ethic. This move still leaves a glut at the linebacker position with Chris Carter, Alan Baxter, Vince Williams, Marshall McFadden, Kion Wilson, Brian Rolle and Terence Garvin vying for what is likely four roster spots backing up Lamarr Woodley, Larry Foote , Lawrence Timmons, Jason Worilds and Jarvis Jones.
Alan Baxter was thrust into the spotlight amid whispers of a good showing at camp with the trade of Adrian Robinson. He showed up providing pressure throughout the night and was credited with 2 sacks and a tackle during punt coverage. Its been suggested that his ability may have been the catalyst the team needed to trade Adrian Robinson. He had an ill-advised unnecessary roughness penalty that seemed due to an aggressive style of play after coming in a little late.
Chris Carter is an established backup on the Steelers team and his experience presumably gives him an advantage over some of the newer linebackers. Unfortunately, he hasn't seemed to impress in his time on the field and may be entering a real fight with Baxter. He almost had a fumble recovery against the Chiefs, but the play was overturned upon review.
Inside Linebacker Vince Williams was drafted in the 6th round this year and was projected as a 2-down linebacker that would struggle with coverage. He had a nice pass defense against the Chiefs and was credited with 4 tackles providing some hope that he will be able to overcome his projected deficiencies. Despite the good, he was also hit for a horse-collar tackle on a team that can ill-afford patience with players who cannot avoid penalties.
Marshall McFadden made it on to the practice squad last year and has been pushing for the backup ILB spot. He ran with the second string last game and has the extra time with the LeBeau's scheme to aid him in his quest for the first backup at ILB on the 53. He has looked good but has not pulled away from the rest of the pack by any means and there is still plenty of time for a shake-up at ILB.
Kion Wilson has bounced around several teams such as the Chargers and the Panthers after he went undrafted in 2010. He has been able to make some athletic plays and recorded a sack against the Chiefs alongside 2 tackles. He was on the field for 14 special teams snaps which was pretty high for a preseason game and didn't seem to be the reason for the miscues on that unit.
Brian Rolle was a 6th round draft pick by the Eagles in 2011 and may be the only player out of these backups to have logged a touchdown albeit for another team. He started 13 games for the Eagles before being beaten out by Akeem Jordan in camp and being cut. There is talk that he struggled on special teams with the Eagles which would hurt his cause for making the team if he hasn't cleaned that up. So far he hasn't made any noticeable mistakes on special teams and has generally played decently when given the chance.
The announcers were discussing which linebacker would turn out to be more impressive, Terence Garvin or Alan Baxter. While Baxter was able to put on a show, swaying the conversation decidedly in his favor, the fact that Garvin has been gaining recognition can only be seen as a good thing. He and the other linebackers will have more of a chance to prove themselves with the 4th preseason game coming up. With the roster thinned a little bit at the linebacker position and the tendency to try to keep the starters out of much of the last preseason game there will be more snaps to go around. As the last round of cuts approach, look for these linebackers to play with urgency.

Aug 17 2009, 06:49 AM
I think the first 4 rounds will be competitive just because that's how Mayweather fights. Unless he KNOWS he can dominate a fighter early i.e. Gatti, he won't let his hands go. Marquez will definitely make it difficult for him to figure out, at least for 4 or 5 rounds IMO.
Aug 17 2009, 08:20 AM
Respect to both of them remaining in shape in between fights. I swear both of them looked to be already done with training camp when they were shooting the promo.

I'm blown away by Marquez ability to adjust. This fight is going to be interesting. I think him turning into a puncher might be his in this fight though. The more you open up the more opportunities you give Mayweather to counter. Marquez will be stopped!

exactly.... I see marq giving floyd probs till round 4 maybe 5 alot like judah did then floyd taking over.
like u said once marq lets his hands go floyd should operate and use the size and wear him down.
a side note I hope marq comes in around 140 maybe 142 tops alot like judah does at the welter limit. He's small and doesnt need to add too much weight and fall in a trap were he'll be sluggish and slow, hopefully he'll stay light and using them boxing skills
Aug 20 2009, 09:19 PM
I'm pretty excited to see Mayweather back in the mix, I just hope he doesn't decide to fight once or twice and retire, I hope he at least fights a few more fights.

An article about Floyd from Ellerbe's point of view.
by T.K. Stewart
After nearly two years away from the sport of boxing, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is preparing to make a triumphant return to the arena that has made him famous and wealthy beyond anything he could have once imagined.
For his last three bouts, Mayweather has earned an astronomical $60 million. But it was not that long ago that Money as he is now known, shared a bedroom with half-a- dozen of his siblings and lived in a house in a tough neighborhood of Grand Rapids, Mich. A house that often times went for days without electrical service.
These days, most know Mayweather for his brash manner, his boastful ways and over-the-top personality. It is a public persona that easily overshadows the increasingly private, father of four who retired from the sport in 2007. Over the past few years he has managed to become one of the most wealthy athletes in the world. He has helped promote the biggest names in the world of hip-hop music (Lil Wayne, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige) possesses a fleet of luxury automobiles and now resides behind the tall gates of a $10 million mansion that he recently had built in Las Vegas.
But there's another side to Floyd Mayweather, Jr. - and it's a side that those who know him best - wish the world would get to know, too.
There is probably no one that knows the 32-year-old Mayweather better than his most trusted confidant, Leonard Ellerbe. It is Ellerbe that serves as Mayweather's right-hand man, the CEO of Mayweather's burgeoning business empire and the man that, in Ellerbe's words, takes care of business outside the ring, so that Floyd can take care of business inside it.
Ellerbe has known Mayweather for a long time, since back in the days when Floyd's uncle, Roger, trained Ellerbe on the finer points of the sweet science. He was introduced to Floyd before there was any Money and before the young virtuoso went on to win boxing championships in five weight divisions, blaze to an undefeated record of 39-0, 25 KOs and become universally regarded as the top pound-for-pound boxer on the planet.
So Ellerbe, who is very passionate about all things Mayweather, sometimes becomes disturbed when he reads and hears things about his friend that don't tell the rest of the story.
He never gets the credit for his philanthropy , he never gets the credit for that, Ellerbe said via phone from Las Vegas this week. There's a perception out there, with him promoting his events, which is just him basically doing his job, and the media gets it mixed-up with who he is as a person. It's a totally false perception that's out there.
Ellerbe says that, Floyd has such a big heart and he wishes more people could see past the wads of rolled up one-hundred dollar bills that stuff Floyd's pockets like the packs on a mule's back. That way they could see the difference between Floyd the public entertainer - and Floyd the private person.
My challenge has been to change the perception of him from just this mad man, running wild, throwing money up into the air, explains Ellerbe. People need to understand that's just a form of entertainment and that's just him doing his job.
Ellerebe attempts to drive home the point that the Mayweather most people don't know about, is the man that gives to those that are now in a place where he once was. It's a side of the boxer that few see, few know and that most don't care to learn more about. The side that is glitzy and outlandish and entertaining is the man the public have seen on stints with 'Dancing with the Stars' or on World Wrestling Entertainment. It's the man they have watched on the HBO 24/7 series and the man they have seen throwing money into the air like confetti at a wedding.
But Ellerbe says what he sees everyday is the compassion that Mayweather has for those that are less fortunate or those that are going through a rough time in their lives. It's the Mayweather that has serious thoughts of one-day opening a homeless shelter in Las Vegas and the Mayweather that thinks about the people who live just miles away from him that don't get enough to eat.
Thats just one example of what a tremendous heart that he has, says Ellerbe. When people see him on 24/7, that's just entertainment, thats not the Floyd Mayweather that I know. Hes a great father, hes a great humanitarian. God has truly blessed him and Floyd understands what that's all about. He knows that he's been put in a great position, with great responsibility, to be able to help other people.
Last year, Mayweather donated over a quarter million dollars of his own money in order to prevent the National Golden Gloves amateur boxing championships held in Grand Rapids from being canceled altogether.
At the Golden Gloves, over 300 kids were able to participate and pursue their dreams of becoming a pro boxer of going to the next level, Ellerbe points out. Floyd's reason for doing that is because he came through that same type of program. Hes a five-time national amateur champ and he understands those are the steps needed to become a pro. He used all of his own money and the kids really had a wonderful time. It was great event put on in his hometown.
Last Friday in Las Vegas, a kindler, gentler Mayweather took time from training for his Sept. 19th fight against Juan Manuel Marquez to speak with a group of teenagers from the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth at their safe place drop-in center. A calm Mayweather was received by the teens with a great deal of excitement. For them, it was a once in a lifetime chance to meet a genuine world champ and celebrity and a chance to hear from Mayweather that life can be what they make of it.
The teens, who attend the NPHY life skills program once a week, were touched by Mayweather's message and were able to relate to the champ's own struggles in life.
Today was one of the most inspirational days of my life, said Breanna Watkins, age 18. It's not easy to keep your head up and push through the storm, but after today, I realize that no matter how much you struggle, it's possible to make it out on top. I really appreciate that Floyd Mayweather and his team took the time out of their schedules to give us words of encouragement.
Mayweather employs 23 people in Las Vegas, and a couple of more in other cities. Ellerbe notes that his staff consists of people that are not just African Americans, but people of all colors, creed and ethnic origin. Together they work to increase global recognition of what Ellerbe calls the Mayweather brand and they also help Floyd bring his humanitarian ideas to life.
His vision is he wants to give back in any way that he can to his community, Ellerbe explains. So we take it from there and I take it upon myself to do these things and make them happen. We are using boxing as a platform to do things that no boxer, except Oscar De La Hoya, has ever done before. Over a period of time we have worked not only in Grand Rapids to fund sports and youth programs, but we have a number of charity events. We have our annual Thanksgiving food giveaways, we have toy drives at Christmas. These are the kinds of things you dont hear the press write about.
Certainly in the past couple of years, the image of Mayweather has begun to change. While there are still times that he can appear to be surly, most notably in recent interviews with Brian Kenny of ESPN, there have been more frequent occasions when he is the picture of gentlemanly manners.
Floyd has developed a persona and people get the two confused, explains Ellerbe. He's the biggest star in all of boxing, but thats his job. On the other hand, he has a tremendous heart and he's given a number people a number of opportunities over the past thirteen years. There are people in his inner circle, people that have had some things happen in the past that wouldnt allow them the chance to work in corporate America. But Floyd is the type of guy that will give people like that an opportunity. Hes given people opportunities that have really messed up their lives in their past. In any other situation, they can't even get a job, but he exposes them to a livelihood that many people never in their lifetime would ever have a chance to be part of. I mean, with him, they get to make a good income and they get to travel all over the world.
In a world driven by the 24-hour news cycle, a world where sensationalism rules the day, the lines between perception and reality and news and entertainment have become horribly blurred. Ellerbe's mission then, to separate Mayweather the entertainer - from Mayweather the person - would seem like an impossible task. He knows a Floyd Mayweather that few do and it perplexes him to no end that the rest of us can't see what he does.
His heart is just so big and Floyd never, ever gets the credit for the kinds of things he does, Ellerbe says. The mainstream press just wants to talk about the flash and the flamboyance and not how hes made a difference in so many kids' lives. They don't see a guy who has worked hard his whole life. They don't see a kid who dropped out of high school to pursue his dream to take his family out of poverty and then turned around and has helped so many kids in so many communities.
And then as Leonard Ellerbe spoke, he seemed to come to the realization that all the work he is doing down here, the work to change the perception of his best friend, might just be paying off after all. For even if he is able to convince every person that doubts Mayweather's good intentions, there is one that doesn't need to be convinced.
God understands where Floyd's heart is, Ellerbe says. And that's why he continually blesses him.

So folks - Butch Davis to UNC - is not a done deal yet. Per TSN's Tom Dienhart, Davis may be holding out for "greener pastures":
The North Carolina job remains on Butch Davis' plate. A source told me he was in Chapel Hill visiting on Tuesday, and Davis also is contacting coaches about joining his staff. But he could say "no thanks" and wait for a more attractive college gig like, say, Alabama or Texas A&M to open. Davis is a win-now coach, meaning he'd prefer to take over a program he can turn around quickly. That sure doesn't sound like North Carolina. But Miami fills that bill. And a source told me Davis would like to be involved if the Miami job opens, but I was told Davis likely burned too many bridges in Coral Gables with the way he left after the 2000 season. I also asked my sources: What if the Dallas Cowboys job opens? Is Davis viable? I was told he possibly could be, but only as a tier-two candidate.
I think Alabama will probably be the favorite to go after Davis (should they implode down the stretch), but UCLA is still in this. Who knows, Davis may just settle for UNC, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he holds out.
Meanwhile, Mooch continues to show lukewarm interest in coaching in the Siberia of the Midwest aka East Lansing:
I just heard from a reliable source that Michigan State is set to offer its job to Steve Mariucci, just when it seemed that talk was dead. Now, it's another matter if he takes the job. Mariucci long has been connected to MSU, given his relationship with hoops coach Tom Izzo and the fact he's a native son. But Mariucci just doesn't seem like a good fit for the college game. And especially at a place like Michigan State, which needs a butt-kicking disciplinarian.
Again, right now no one knows what is going to happen at UCLA in the next few weeks. Of course, Dorrell is doing what he can to spin, spin, and spin around like Lavin used to back in day, giving the impression that he is not going anywhere, yet we haven't heard anything definitive from DG since the Washington State game when he said Dorrell needs to "right the ship" and "win some games."
So let's keep up the activism online and offline in getting our message out regarding the failures of Karl Dorrell. If you haven't done it already, sign the petition, buy up Dump Dorrell t-shirts, and take your message offline, like these passionate Bruin students are already doing around campus:
We have gotten emails from folks saying they are going to be wearing "Dump Dorrell" t-shirts at the game. If you do so, please take pictures and post them here or send them back to us. Better yet, if you have the ability to record your activism and put it on YouTube, even better.
Dorrell and his minions can try their best to spin out of his miserable record in the forum afforded by often clueless and lazy traditional media, but truth will find a way of getting out. We will not relent or let this issue go, and we are counting on all of you taking the message from online to offline, letting everyone else in the Bruins Nation know what is really going on with UCLA football.
BTW make sure to root hard for Texas A&M and Alabama.

An inclusive education is one that gives disabled children an opportunity to interact with a community of teachers and able-bodied students in a normal school environment. It is different from a "mainstream" education because there is no differentiation between general education and special education.
There are two subcategories of an inclusive education: full inclusion and partial or regular inclusion.
Regular or partial inclusion means that the child is in all of the normal classes in which able-bodied students participate, with the exception of special education that would otherwise be disruptive to the rest of the class. Examples include speech therapy or physical education.
Full inclusion schools allow disabled students to spend all of their time in an able-bodied student environment, regardless of their disability. Full inclusion schools are rare due in part to finding teachers who are certified to work with the disabled student population, and concerns that the able-bodied students would be held back so that the disabled students would receive the support they need.

When Jerry Rice was at MVSC his coach would line him up solo on one side of the field and would line up 4 receivers on the other side, who would all run crossing routes. If the opponent double- or triple-covered Jerry then the didn't have enough guys to cover the other wideouts and the QB could hit them for a big gain. If the opponent single-covered Jerry (like only an idiot would) then he'd get wide open for a huge gain or touchdown.
The blog author talks about which SEC teams could use the formation, and against which SEC opponents, but I was looking at it and thinking it would work GREAT at Utah, at least in some situations. There are very few MWC teams that have 5 talented and fast cover corners who could cover Utah's wideouts one-on-one (TCU is the only one who comes to mind). Every other MWC opponent would have to make the choice between letting the outside man get open deep (I suggest using David Reed or Aiona Key as the outside man) or double-covering him and leaving one of our smaller/quicker receivers (Brooks, Lacy, Matthews, Wesson, etc.) open for a shorter but still decent gain. Not saying we should use it every down, but when we're running no-huddle with five-wide, it would certainly be interesting.

Judging by their proficient heavy talent, you would never guess that this band has only been performing together for around three years.

Just interested. I have become very upset the last couple of months as I still keep running into all my thrashers stuff, and It keeps making me angry. I feel like the girl I love just broke up with me. I cant cheer for winnipeg even though all my favourites are on that team, and hockey is fast approaching so just wondering what direction you guys/gals are headed in.
For me, its a toss up between the Senators (who have gotten real tough in the off season), Chicago (the heritage I was brought up in) and Colorado (my tie for best city in america, With the ATL of course). What do you guys think? and who will you be bitterly pulling for this year?

Prosecutors may decide within the next month whether to seek the death penalty against the man accused of killing Moreno Valley teen Norma Lopez.
Jesse Perez Torres, 35, has been awaiting trial on murder charges since his arrest in October 2011. The case has been postponed repeatedly as authorities have conducted additional DNA tests and a defense attorney completed a three-month death penalty trial in the Coachella Valley.
Torres appeared in a Riverside courtroom Friday morning, Nov. 30. Norma's father and sister sat in the back of the courtroom for the brief proceedings, just as they've done during nearly every hearing for the past year.
A new court date was set for Jan. 18 and a preliminary hearing for Feb. 1.
When asked if he agreed to postpone the hearing, Torres, dressed in a red jail uniform and shackles, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess."
Torres has pleaded not guilty to murder charges and special circumstances of kidnapping, which would make him eligible for the death penalty if convicted.
The day after Torres' arrest, Norma's sister said she didn't want him to receive the death penalty, so he could suffer in prison and think about what he did.
Though a preliminary hearing for Torres has been set before, the latest scheduling could finally see the case move forward. When the hearing occurs, we could learn many of the pivotal details of Norma's abduction and any evidence that would tie Torres to the case.
Norma was abducted July 15, 2010 as she was walking home from summer school classes at Valley View High School in Moreno Valley. Her body was found five days later in a field about a mile away.
Her killing united the community, which vowed to fight back against fear. The killing was out of the norm, because it appeared Norma was taken by a random killer – the idea that it could happen to anyone's child.
At a point where Moreno Valley police had admittedly run out of leads, homicide detectives received a DNA hit from the Department of Justice, matching DNA found near Norma's body to a sample Torres provided during a domestic violence arrest 18 months earlier. He lived a block away from the field where she was taken.

RIP TORN (The Commandant) has enjoyed a brilliant and award-punctuated career in film, theatre and television for over forty years. Most recently, the versatile actor is known for his comedic turn in the hit "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story," as well as his performance in the "Men In Black" movies. He is also beloved for his role on the hit series, "The Larry Sanders Show" which aired for many seasons and earned him the Emmy.
Torn's upcoming roles include Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette" as King Louis XV, due for release next year. Some of his recent features from the past decade include "Welcome To Mooseport," "Eulogy" "Misunderstood," "The Insider," "The Wonder Boys," "Freddie Got Fingered," "Where The Rivers Flow North," "Pay Day," "Heartland," and "Defending Your Life." In addition, he earned an Oscar nomination for his performance in "Cross Creek," opposite Mary Steenburgen.
With his distinctive voice and interpretations, Rip Torn is one of the most in-demand voice-over artists. "The Fires of Kuwait," which he narrated, won the Best Documentary Oscar. He currently has "Cat Tale" in the works, and will then provide his voice to "Bee Movie," with Jerry Seinfeld and Renee Zellweger.

As a college football fan, I have cheered for a number of teams that used two-QB systems, starting with the Joe Germaine/Stanley Jackson Buckeyes and most recently with the Kain Colter/Trevor Semien Northwestern Wildcats. And over those years, I can't tell you how many times I have heard the saying, "If you have two quarterbacks, you don't have one."
That used to drive me crazy, mostly because I thought Joe Germaine was the next big thing (he was even named Joe, like Montana and Namath!). But, even if it's not true in all cases, there is something to the underlying philosophy: if you aren't sure which guy will take a position, there is a good chance the right answer is none of the above.
Position battles are part of what makes spring training exciting, but if you have two SS (or 3B, etc.) you probably don't have one. The Indians have enough up in the air to keep camp interesting, but not so much that we need to worry that the right guys simply aren't there.
The Indians come to camp with much of the roster all-but-determined, including every starting position player (with one outside possibility). The bullpen is unsettled though, and there's a wide open spot at the back of the starting rotation.
Here are the 20 spots already accounted for:
DH, backup at C/1B/(and 3B?)
1B, occasional DH/RF
RF vs. LHP
RF vs. RHP
Utility Infielder
Set-up Man
That leaves five openings - three more RP, a fifth starter, and one more bench spot, with the exact role TBD. Here is a quick intro to each race:
The Pen
I expect Terry Francona to carry an eight-man bullpen, and a handful of players could grab those slots. In my last look at the pen, I included Vinnie Pestano as a lock, but you folks expressed doubt. I am nothing if not a man of the people, so for now, Vinnie has to earn his way onto my roster. The other competitors include Nick Hagadone (who now has an option, making him a likely AAA candidate), CC Lee (who I think gets spot #7 and becomes one of our more trusted arms), Preston Guilment, Colt Hynes, Bryan Price, Blake Wood, Frank Herrmann, and some others. I don't see Matt Capps or David Aardsma as likely to make it, especially as they are not on the 40-man. Carlos Carrasco belongs in the conversation, too, as does Josh Tomlin. And, since relief pitching is so volatile, I am probably leaving out a handful of guys who could pitch their way into the picture, although they are all longshots.
Today's best guess: Pestano, Lee, Carrasco/Tomlin
Fifth Starter
The competition for this spot has been discussed here before, and the talk will only intensify in the coming weeks. Carrasco and Tomlin will be battling with Trevor Bauer and Shaun Marcum. We'll get into this in greater detail in a separate post soon.
Today's best guess: Carrasco gets the job; if Marcum takes a job in Columbus, he is next in line. Bauer gets time in Columbus to prove himself.
25th Man
This is where things get interesting. Does Santana prove a viable enough 3B candidate that we decide to carry a third catcher? Is there a need for a 5th OF? Would we rather add another DH/PH type, a la Jason Giambi?
Matt Treanor and Luke Carlin, neither of whom are on the 40-man, are the catcher options, but I think we're unlikely to add a third catcher.
If we want one more IF, the options are David Adams, Jose Ramirez, or non-roster invitee Elliot Johnson. I think Adams is the favorite. He'd be a right-handed complement to our lefty-hitting 2B and 3B and he plays solid defense at all three IF positions. Ramirez will get playing time in Columbus, and I bet we see him before the end of the year. Johnson would have to have a great camp to justify clearing a roster spot for him.
If we go OF, someone has to be added to the 40-man - one of Jeff Francoeur, Matt Carson or Nyjer Morgan. I don't see this happening. We already have four capable OF, with at least two options in each spot, plus Swisher can play if needed, and Aviles too.
The last option is a 1B/DH/PH. David Cooper is on the roster, as is Jesus Aguilar. Giambi is back in camp, but not on the 40 and is joined by Bryan LaHair. I think LaHair is more flash-in-the-pan than sleeper, and I don't think the Indians are going to rush Aguilar for a part-time role. I think Giambi's playing days are over. Cooper is an intriguing upside play, and I think he gets a shot to play his way onto the team.
Today's best guess: David Cooper hits enough to get a job, and his fit as a DH option keeps Santana free to hold down the #2 catcher spot.
We'll be tracking these battles throughout camp and updating the lists of competitors and favorites as we go.
Your turn to speculate: Who are the final five going to be?

I have an Nginx server configured as a reverse proxy for Apache. This server serves both HTTP and HTTPS, since some URLs are HTTPS only Nginx returns 403 to those without relaying the request to Apache. The problem is that after some time running(sometimes a day, sometimes a week) Nginx will start returning 403 to one specific URL(that is not HTTPS only) when asked over HTTP, if asked over HTTPS it works. All other URLs work as expected. When this starts happening the request seems to not even be relayed to Apache, since Apache logs show no request for that URL. Restarting Nginx solves the problem. Nginx error logs have no entries.
Does any one have any ideas what I should be looking into?

Long-Term Chevrolet Volt: 763 miles, By the Numbers – "Despite all of these factors, the Volt nearly ties the diesel Jetta for consumption/economy/cost; and beats its low-tech platform-twin Chevy Cruze handily. Oh, and the lifetime miles per gasoline gallon reading on the dash is hovering just above 50 right now. We'll continue to update you on this figure as well, as it is germane to those who most want to reduce our foreign oil use. Watch for all of these numbers to improve dramatically as the urban commuting miles continue to roll up, and the temperatures gradually rise…."
iPhone 5 to sport aluminum back, redesigned antenna and A5 chip – Report – "With the iPad 2 announcement now behind us, it's time to start focusing on Apple's next big release – the iPhone 5. Over the past few months, rumors surrounding Apple's next-gen iPhone have been few and far in between, but the rumors that have surfaced are quite intriguing. From an NFC capable device to an entirely new form factor with a 4-inch screen, Apple appears to have something big in the works come June. Indeed, even publications like the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times – papers Apple often uses to 'leak' information – have intimated that the iPhone 5 will be a significant departure from the iPhone 4…."
Is this a good idea?
Pollinating Earthlike planets? – "The recent news that scientists have discovered at least 54 distant Earthlike planets — that is, rocky orbs in the so-called "Goldilocks zone" of their stars, where temperatures allow liquid-state water –- is raising hopes that we're not alone in the cosmos. But instead of merely searching for life elsewhere in the universe, should we also be trying to put it out there?"
Made in America: small businesses buck the offshoring trend – "In early 2010, somewhere high above the northern hemisphere, Mark Krywko decided he'd had enough. The CEO of Sleek Audio, a purveyor of high-end earphones, Krywko was flying home to Florida after yet another frustrating visit to Dongguan, China, where a contract factory assembled the majority of his company's products. He and his son, Jason, Sleek Audio's cofounder, made the long trip every few months to troubleshoot quality flaws. Every time the Krywkos visited Dongguan, their Chinese partners assured them everything was under control. Those promises almost always proved empty…."
Who Is Safe From the Robot Revolution? – "First, they came for the assembly workers, and America didn't speak out, because we were not all assembly workers. Then they came for the packers and sorters, and we didn't speak out, because we were not all packers and sorters. Then they came for the weapons builders, the nurses, the surgeons, the soldiers, the astronauts, the maids, the lab researchers, and the lawyers …"
Pirated Copy of 'The Hurt Locker' Airs on National TV – "In anticipation of the Academy Awards ceremony last week, Belarusian TV viewers were treated to some previous Oscar-awarded movies. One of the films that Belarus' National State Television decided to air was last year's best picture The Hurt Locker. However, the channel managers apparently didn't go through all the proper licensing channels, electing to show a copy that had been downloaded from the BitTorrent site Interfilm.ru instead….."

Ars reviews the Motorola Xoom – "Although the Xoom has a lot to offer, the product feels very incomplete. A surprising number of promised hardware and software features are not functional at launch and will have to be enabled in future updates. The Xoom's quality is also diminished by some of the early technical issues and limitations that we encountered in Honeycomb. Google's nascent tablet software has a ton of potential, but it also has some feature gaps and rough edges that reflect its lack of maturity…."

This will allow third-party Android application developers to take advantage of Fragments without having to sacrifice backwards compatibility with existing Android handsets…."
Ask Maggie: On iPad 2 vs. the original iPad – "Apple's iPad 2 is thinner, lighter, and faster than the original, but is it different enough from last year's model to entice new customers? That's the big question. Apple sold more than 15 million iPads in 2010. But this week, when Apple introduced the new iPad 2, some people are disappointed that latest version was still missing key features and isn't much different from its predecessor. The device goes on sale in the U.S. on March 11…."
So Far Rivals Can't Beat iPad's Price – "The iPad 2, unveiled on Wednesday, offers several sleek improvements over its predecessor. But its most attractive feature is perhaps the same one its predecessor had: the price tag. And what makes that feature even more compelling is that so far, Apple's competitors in tablets cannot beat or even match it…."
Apple iPad 3: What we Want – "All of this got us thinking—what precisely will the iPad 3 offer that will so utterly blow its predecessors out of the water? It's probably a little early to discuss a feature set for the thing with any real accuracy, but that doesn't mean we can't engage in wild and wishful speculation…."
Forget Google – it's Apple that is turning into the evil empire – "This gives Apple unparalleled power. Lots of other organisations offer paid-for downloads, but none has the credit card details of so many internet users who are accustomed to paying for stuff online. This was one reason why proprietors of print magazines began to slaver when the iPad appeared. Here at last was a way of getting people to pay for online content: just make it available on iTunes and let Apple collect the money. Sure, it rankled that Apple took 30%, but – hey – at least it would bring to an end the parasitic free riding that was endemic on the web. Henceforth, the web was dead: publishing magazines as iPad apps was the future…."
Transplant patients a target of Arizona budget cuts – "A pacemaker and defibrillator fitted to carpenter Douglas Gravagna's failing heart makes even rising from the couch of his Phoenix-valley home a battle. But it is not congestive heart failure that is killing him, he says.

'I no longer hope for audacity': Matt Damon turns against Obama as President loses his celebrity friends – "It appears the list of Barack Obama's celebrity friends is dwindling. Actor Matt Damon – who was one of the President's earliest and best-known celebrity supporters during his 2008 campaign – said point blank that he was unhappy with the way the country is being run in an interview with Piers Morgan last night. He also slammed the President for failing to follow through on many of his campaign promises, particularly on education…."
The Fix for High Oil Prices? Regulate the Speculators – "After all, as I wrote last month on DailyFinance, Libya represents a mere 0.5% of U.S. oil imports, and Saudi Arabia is increasing its production to make up the difference. There has been no sudden increase in demand for oil, nor has there been a truly significant drop in supply. In fact, refineries — which convert crude oil into gasoline and other chemicals — are operating at a relatively low 88.4% of capacity, according to the U.S. Energy Information Institute. So why are oil prices going up so much? Speculators…"
U.S. Considering Tapping Oil Reserves As Gas Prices Rise – "President Barack Obama's chief of staff says the administration is looking at the nation's oil reserves as it considers options for dealing with the spike in gas prices. The price of a barrel of oil has passed $100. In the U.S., gasoline is averaging $3.50 a gallon…"
TSA Surveillance: Peep Show, Police State, Privacy Invasion or All Three? – "We've heard how if you don't like TSA screenings, then don't fly; instead take a bus, a train, or drive your car. If gas prices keep climbing, driving may not be an affordable option in the future. In that same future, Homeland Security had considered hitting the streets with TSA airport-like body scanners to covertly peek under your clothes, into your bags, and even into your vehicles. Whether you call it a police state, a peep show, or plain old privacy invasion, the increasing surveillance needs to stop…."
Why America Will Stay on Top – ""Of course I worry about America," he says. "The whole world depends on America ultimately, particularly Britain. And also, I love America—a marvelous country. But in a sense I don't worry about America because I think America has such huge strengths—particularly its freedom of thought and expression—that it's going to survive as a top nation for the foreseeable future. And therefore take care of the world."…"
The $110 Billion Question – "When one looks across the Arab world today at the stunning spontaneous democracy uprisings, it is impossible to not ask: What are we doing spending $110 billion this year supporting corrupt and unpopular regimes in Afghanistan and Pakistan that are almost identical to the governments we're applauding the Arab people for overthrowing? "
Charlie Sheen: A Bellwether For What Is Next – "When asked why he had a thing for women who make their living in porn, he allowed as to how he is the best at what he does and so are they. As the Washington Post's Ruth Marcus put it, it's the same impulse we have to slow down at an accident scene. Marcus went on to say that the decent thing to do would be to avert our eyes and hope he gets help. Can I just tell you? I beg to differ…."
Lindsay Lohan Surveillance Video Photos Hit the Web – "Scenes from a surveillance video allegedly showing Lindsay Lohan stealing a $2,500 necklace will appear on a Web site and still images already are on the Internet…."
The Dawn of the Super Server – "We're in the midst of a computing implosion: a re-centralization of resources driven by virtualization, many-core CPUs, GPU computing, flash memory, and high-speed networking. Some have predicted, only half-jokingly, that we will be able to buy a mainframe in a pizza box server that fits in a small fraction of a data center rack. That possibility — and in my opinion, inevitability — means we have a lot to watch over the next few years: what I like to call the coming of the Super Server…."
Did scientists discover bacteria in meteorites? – "No, no, no. No no no no no no no no. Fox News broke the story, which ought to make one immediately suspicious — it's not an organization noted for scientific acumen. But even worse, the paper claiming the discovery of bacteria fossils in carbonaceous chondrites was published in … the Journal of Cosmology…."
Wanna see what gold atoms look like?
Will Facebook replace company Web sites? – "A day might be coming when the power of Facebook means that major companies no longer bother with their own Web sites. That was the startling if self-promotional possibility sketched out by Stephen Haines, commercial director of Facebook's U.K. operation, while speaking today at the Technology for Marketing and Advertising conference here. Essentially, Haines argued, companies' interactions with their customers could take place so often on Facebook that company Web sites would fall by the wayside…."
Hyperlocal Heartbreak: Why Haven't Neighborhood News Technologies Worked Out? – "Neighborhood news aggregator Outside.in has been acquired by AOL, according to multiple reports this morning. Apparently it's being bought for less than the big pile of money that high-profile investors put into it, back when hopes were high. It's sad, really: the ambitious hyper-local news technology services of the last few years don't seem to be working out very well…."
Google Responds To Android Malware, Will Fix Infected Devices And 'Remote Kill' Malicious Apps – "Google has now confirmed that 58 malicious applications were uploaded to Android Market, and that they were downloaded onto around 260,000 devices before Google removed the apps Tuesday evening. That number sounds alarmingly high, but Google believes that only device-specific information, namely the phone's IMEI number, was compromised — and that no personal data or account information was ever transferred. Given that these apps were getting root access, this could have been a lot worse. Now the cleanup begins…." See also: Google Plans To Remotely Kill Rogue Apps in Wake of Android Attack
As telecom industry evolves, success of Netflix is its biggest threat – "But the more that consumers embrace the movies-at-home ethos of Netflix, the more uncomfortable major players in the entertainment industry have become. Now Netflix, a secretive company known more for the laid-back attitude of its founder than for sharp elbows, has emerged at the center of a titanic clash over the future of television…."
Cheap, Ultrafast Broadband? Hong Kong Has It – "HONG KONG residents can enjoy astoundingly fast broadband at an astoundingly low price. It became available last year, when a scrappy company called Hong Kong Broadband Network introduced a new option for its fiber-to-the-home service: a speed of 1,000 megabits a second — known as a "gig" — for less than $26 a month. In the United States, we don't have anything close to that. But we could. And we should. "

34th National Narrow Gauge Convention will take place September 3rd
to 6th, 2014 in Kansas City, MO/Overland Park, KS. I hope you're planning to attend. We will have a space in the vendors'
hall. We would enjoy having you drop by
and introduce yourself. We like seeing
the face that goes with the name on the order.
Remember, too, to bring your want list.
You can save a nice piece of change by taking your "wants" home with
you, thereby avoiding shipping charges.
If you like, you can order as usual, four days or more before the
convention, and write "Convention Pickup" in the "Comments" area of the order
form. We'll have your goods packed and
waiting for you at our booth. See you
P.S. Bring your Narrow Gauge & Short Line
Gazette "want list" with you.
About Shipping Charges:
With few exceptions, we ship with U. S. Postal Service.
However, because of the shape and dimensions of items vary, we can't calculate in advance an exact shipping charge. The total seen at checkout time is the MAXIMUM you will be charged. It may be adjusted downward if we find we can ship in a way that provides the same level of service at a lower rate. If the amount you have paid is less than the amount needed to ship by the best method, we pay the difference. You will not pay any more than what you were charged at checkout. The Regional Priority Flat Rate service of the USPS is what we use for most domestic addresses. Often we will not be able to select the best shipping method until the order is pulled from inventory, weighed, and an appropriate box size is chosen. The mix of items in the order can affect the choice of shipping method, as well. In some cases the dimensions of the package will affect the rate.
The amount charged on your order is the most you will be charged. We always will try to select the lowest cost and best shipment method for your order. If we are able to ship for a lower cost than you were charged, we will refund any overpayment that amounts to more than $1.00.
If we get a discounted commercial rate, the savings are passed on to you. We do not try to make money on shipping and handling fees. We sell books and magazines- not postage.
About International Shipping Charges:
We are a bit limited in the choice of international shipping methods. Occasionally we find that we can use International Flat Rate Priority Mail to lower your shipping and handling costs.. When that is possible, the same policy is followed as in domestic shipping. If the package can be shipped for a lower amount than was charged at checkout, any amount of US$1.00 or more will be refunded to your credit card or PayPal account. As with domestic sales, the amount you are charged on checkout is the most you will pay. We adjust charges down, but not up.
