Emacs makes frequent use of the Control key. On a conventional keyboard, the Control Key is at the lower left corner of the keyboard, usually not very large and is pressed by the pinky finger. For those who use emacs all day, this will result in Repetitive Strain Injury. 〔➤ Celebrity Programers with RSI〕 This page lists some tips on avoiding this pinky problem.
I've been using computer since 1991, at least 8 hours a day on average every singe day. I was a QWERTY touch-typist with 80 wpm and worked as a secretary for about 2 years, then in ≈1994 i switched to Dvorak layout. I started to use emacs everyday since 1998. I am a keyboard and key macro nerd, and have used tens of keyboard macro or keymap type of utilities on the Mac, unixes, and Windows, always looking for the most ergonomic and efficient way to operate the keyboard. 〔➤ Keyboards, Layouts, Hotkeys, Macros, RSI〕 This page summarize my experiences applied to emacs.
The best way to avoid the pinky problem is actually to use a good keyboard. Let us start with some tips on choosing a good keyboard.
Here are some keyboard hardware advices:
Here's a list of keyboard i consider best for emacs: Best Keyboard for Emacs.
Laptop computer keyboards are the worst beast. It is the quickest way to get RSI. The keys are packed into a neat little rectangular space and flat. Ctrl and Alt become tiny squares, jammed together with Fn. Many dedicated keys such as ↖ Home, ⇟ Page ▽, Arrow keys, are reshaped into squares to fit into the rectangular array — losing their distinct positions that can be easily located by touch. Dedicated keypad for numbers is gone. Time saving Function keys, great for macros, become a thin strip and require 2 key presses with a Fn modifier key, also requires visual-contact to hit correctly.
It is neat, alright, but anything in perfectly geometric shape is a sign that it is the worst with respect to ergonomics and comfort. In the environment of nature, which our body evolved to cope with, there's almost never any straight lines, squares, or perfect circles.
I use a computer for 8 hours a day since 1991. Never had any problems. But, during 2004 and 2005, for 2 years, i was using a laptop always, i noticed RSI symptoms. My hand started to feel weird even when not typing. No pain, but definitely something's not right. (I've already read extensively about RSI)
So i went and bought a external keyboard, and actually bought a split-keyset ergonomic keyboard, the Microsoft Wireless Natural Multimedia keyboard. I always hated split keyboards, in particular because emacs's 【Ctrl+x】 on Dvorak is at the B position of QWERTY, and the B key on split keyboard is on the left side, but i always used the right hand to do the x and left hand on Ctrl. Also, the number 6 key is supposed to be pressed by the right hand by traditional touch typing, but the 6 on split keyboard is on the left side too.
Despite this initial difficulty, i adopted the split ergonomic keyboard, even after 15 years of using a traditional PC keyboard. Now, i won't go back to non-split keyboards. Typing on non-split keyboard feels discomfort even just for a few minutes.
Do not use your pinky to press the Control key.
For some keyboards, it's not easy to use plam. Instead, you can curl in your fingers into a semi-fist, then sit your fist on the control key, or knock the key with your pinky's knuckle.
Do not use just one hand to type a Control+‹key› combo.
Use one hand to press Ctrl, use the other hand to press the letter key. This is the same principle for pressing the ⇧ Shift key in touch-typing.
When the key you want to press is on the left side of the keyboard, use the right side of Ctrl. For example, to press 【Ctrl+a】, hold down the right Ctrl with your right palm edge, and use your left hand to press a. Make this into a habit. Using a single hand to press 【Ctrl+‹key›】 combo means your hand is shaped into spider legs, thus putting stress on it when done repeatedly.
This is also why it is important to chose a keyboard with large Control keys positioned on both sides of the keyboard.
A good keyboard and good typing habit is good. But suppose you are stuck with a laptop keyboard. Here are some suggestions for this situation.
For programers, more than 50% of your typing are actually calling commands. 〔➤ Emacs's Command Frequency〕 This means, the layout for command keybinding is actually more important than letter-key layout.
One good solution is to use a ergonomically designed shortcut layout for emacs. See: ErgoEmacs Keybinding.
Another solution is to use vi mode (⁖ i recommend
evil-mode). This way, most commands are single key press, but you have to press a key everytime you switch edit/command mode. Be sure to set a easy key for that, such as {Caps Lock, Alt, ▤ Menu}.
(you can also try ergoemacs-xah Mode)
The ergoemacs-mode or
evil-mode are by far the best solution. I suggest you get use to one of them. Following are lesser solutions.
Try swapping the Ctrl & Alt keys.
Emacs's shortcuts are developed for Lisp Machine's keyboards of the 1980s. They have Control key near the space bar, and the Meta key further away from the space bar. So, Control key is the primary modifier key. 〔➤ photo of Lisp Keyboards〕 However, today's keyboards have Alt instead of Meta, and the Ctrl key is placed at the far corner. Emacs did not change its shortcuts. It simply mapped the Meta to Alt. That is why today, most frequently used keyboard shortcuts have the more difficult to press Control key instead of the Alt. For more detail on this and other aspects of emacs's shortcuts, see: Why Emacs's Keyboard Shortcuts are Painful.
Swapping the Alt and Control key will make Emacs's keyboard shortcuts easier to use.
The other advantage of swapping Alt and Ctrl, is that on Windows and Linuxes, most direct shortcuts involve the Ctrl key. By swapping, shortcuts are made easier too, because now Ctrl is right under your thumb.
Remap the Caps Lock and Ctrl key by swapping them. This is not a optimal solution, because the Control key is still pressed by the pinky. But on laptop, this may be better than swapping Alt and Ctrl, because the Caps Lock key is usually much bigger and in a easy open location. (For detail, see: Why You Should Not Swap {Caps Lock, Control}.)
You can swap Caps Lock or other modifiers on Windows by using AutoHotkey utility. See: AutoHotkey Tutorial. Or, donate few bucks and i'll send you the script i wrote. See: How to Swap Caps Lock, Alt, Control Keys on Windows.
On {Windows, Mac, Linux}, you can setup your OS so that 【Ctrl+‹key›】 can be pressed by pressing the Ctrl key then release it, then press the ‹key› key. The disadvantage with this setup is that it makes the operation slow, and the system may confuse with key combinations such as 【Ctrl+F8】 with key sequences 【Ctrl F8】 (if you have both but for different things).
One ergonomic improvement is the Dvorak keyboard layout.
I've been using Dvorak keyboard since 1994. It works beautifully with emacs. It makes typing more comfortable. (i use emacs since 1997).
Dvorak layout does not help with the emacs pinky problem. However, it is good for typing health in other ways.
For more info about Dvorak layout, see: Dvorak Keyboard Layout.
When in a active coding/writing session, perhaps more than 50% of the time your hands are actually not typing. You constantly take a pause to read or think. This pause can be 1 second to 10 seconds or more. However, for many people, their hands are still tensed up during these times, ready to type.
Remind yourself to check your hands when you are not actually in action of typing or using the mouse. See if your hand is completely relaxed.
It's a good habit to remove your hands from the keyboard or mouse when you are not pressing keys, even if the duration is just few seconds.
Here's some fun toys i use that give my hands something to do, to take them away from the same muscle usage for typing or mousing. When i'm reading or thinking, it's a habit to pick these toys up and play with it unconsciously.
Get a squeeze ball. There are several types of squeeze ball. Some are spongy and light weight, requires little effort to squeeze, and spring back into shape immediately. Another type feels like clay; You have to squeeze hard with the whole hand for it to deform, and they deform slowly. I like the clay type better.
Get a rubber band. amazon Wrap them around all 5 fingers, then try to open the fingers. This is kinda reverse exercise to squeeze balls. With the right size of rubber band, you can easily expand your fingers once every second.
You might try to pickup Pen Spinning. 〔➤ Pen Spinning video〕 Though, am not sure this is good for you. Learning the tricks can be addictive, and the constant pen dropping can be quite annoying to those around you. (In East Asia, majority of highschool students do some form of pen twirling. When walking into the class, you hear the sound of pen droppings all over.) Personally, pen twirling has become a unconscious habit for me since age 13.
It is universal advice that you should have AT LEAST 10 minutes of break every 2 hours. The exact schedule varies. I always take breaks. Some people use a alarm clock, but i tend to do it spontaneously. Every 2 hours or so, i'd get up and walk for 10 minutes or do some juggling during break. Been a juggler since age 17. (See many juggling videos at Juggling & Performance Arts.)
When taking a walk, i usually carry Chinese hand exercise iron balls. It's good hand exercise especially for us keyboard punchers. (For some beautiful glorious photos, see: Chinese hand-exercise iron balls.)

The disguised blitz Winfield ran was beautiful, the strip and the ball was just gravy. Then there was the play he ducked the FB and took down the back in one motion. The screen pass he blew up on his own. The guy plays like he's 6'2".
If I'm Mora I get as much tape on Winfield as I can and send them home with Wilson.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Early voting starts Monday and voters across the City of Lubbock will be asked to check for or against four major bonds. The projects on the November 3rd ballot total just more than $60 million.
It's what's on the ballot that brought a new political action committee out of the wood works. The Chamber of Commerce announced the creation of 4 for Lubbock, a group that hopes you'll vote for all four bonds. "It's so important so you can make an informed vote," says 4 for Lubbock member Linda Gaither. She says the city is growing and to keep up Lubbock needs these projects. "Taking care of what we have and ensuring and securing our future are what this bond election is about," says Gaither.
Proposition 1, if passed, would issue $43,085,000 for street improvements. This is where the bulk of the $60.8 million will be spent. Portions will be dedicated to re-pave 34th Street from Avenue Q west to Indiana along with the deteriorating sidewalks and driveways.
Proposition 2, if passed, would allocate $7.5 million to build three new fire stations in southwest Lubbock.
Proposition 3, if passed, would allocate $1.2 million to build four splash pads in parks across the city.
Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee Kevin McMahon says the splash pads are a better use of money than trying to repair existing city pools. The CAC recommended the bond projects to city council before they approved.
The much anticipated and highly debated soccer complex is slated to be built if proposition 4 passes. If built, the complex would cover a 90 acre area and create 53 soccer fields.
McMahon says the propositions that made the ballot are there because citizens wanted it. "Hoping it is a success. By in large Lubbock supports essential services and 70 percent of this is streets and another large part is safety," adds McMahon.
What does this bond election mean for your wallet? "$60,785,000 is less than 4.6 cents on the tax rate so it would be about $50 for a medium priced home in Lubbock," says McMahon.
Dorothy Kennedy with the county elections office says they expect anywhere from a 3 to 5 percent turnout for November's election.

Tow Mater 3D Papercraft
Mater's favorite title is best friend to Lightning McQueen, but he can be just as loyal to you -- spend a little time building this "tow-tally" awesome papercraft!
Download the template here: Tow Mater 3D Papercraft
- Print the template on regular paper or cardstock and cut out the pieces. Make all folds along dotted lines.
- Starting with Mater's hood, use glue or double-sided tape to attach all tabs to their corresponding pieces in alphabetical order.
- Repeat step 2 with Mater's roof and bed.
- Attach Mater's bed to his roof by securing the #1 panels, then attach his hood to his roof by securing all #2 tabs.
- Build Mater's hitch posts, and attach them to the raised part of Mater's bed, just behind his rear window.
- Build Mater's hitch bar, and mount it on top of his hitch posts. The light on the bar should be on Mater's left side facing the back.
- Build Mater's recovery boom, and mount it on Mater's bed where the flat part meets the raised part. Be sure that the shaded panel is the one you use to secure the recovery boom to Mater's bed.
- Fold each of Mater's side mirrors in half along the dotted line, then, without gluing the tabs, secure with glue or double-sided tape so the design is two-sided. Butterfly the tabs outward, and use them to attach the side mirrors to the front of Mater's side windows. The orange side of each mirror should face forward.
- Build the emergency light, and attach it to the center of the hitch bar. Be sure to place it on top of the hitch bar with the wider side down.
- Fold the tail lights and roof reflector in half, then secure each part with glue or double-sided tape. Use the tabs to attach these parts to Mater's body. The roof reflector should go on the right side of Mater's hitch bar. The tail lights should be placed on the back of Mater's bed – one on the left and one on the right.
- Build Mater's radiator and place it on his hood where indicated.
- Fold the hook in half and secure with glue or double-sided tape. Punch a hole in the hook where indicated. Use brown string to hang the hook from the tip of Mater's recovery boom.
- Finally, hang two more brown strings, one from each end of Mater's hitch bar to the tip of his recovery boom.

I think we are still a better team than last year(yes I heard about Oden). I am trying to compare last years starter and backup players to this years projected starters and backups. This is how I see it breaking down:
06-07 lineup 07-08 lineup(projected)
1.Jack vs. 1.Jack (upgrade) Jack will improve upon last year, he could be a big surprise
2.Roy vs. 2.Roy (upgrade) I think Roy will be MUCH better this year, expect him to lift the pressure off Mr. Oden with his fabulous play.
3.Ime vs. 3.Travis (even) Travis brings better rebounding and scoring, but Ime brought better defense and the 3 ball.
4.Zach vs. 4.LMA (downgrade/even) LMA probably wont bring 23 and 10, but defense and team chemistry will definitely improve.
5.Joel vs. 5. Joel (upgrade) Joel was a non-factor last year, I hope/expect that he can contribute a little more, possibly a lot more.
1.Sergio vs. 1.Blake (upgrade) and I think a very important one. Point guard play was very sketchy last year, we will have much better players at the point this year.
2.Webster vs. 2.Webster (upgrade) Webster will be a better player this year than last, perhaps a breakout guy.
3.Travis vs. 3.Jones (even) defense is about even with a slight edge to Jones, Scoring and rebounding should be about the same with a slight edge to outlaw.
4.LMA vs. 4.Frye (upgrade) LMA was hurt and only put up 9 and 5 last year, Frye can do better than that.
5.Magloire vs. 5.Raef (downgrade) Mags was fairly important last year. I hope and think that a healthy Raef can be a factor, but to be safe I will assume he wont be.
- Dickau vs. 1. Sergio (upgrade) Dickau played ok, but Sergio can change a game when he is feeling good.
- Dixon/Jones vs. 2. Green (even) Green probably wont get much time, but neither did Fred Jones and when he did get time, he was very unimpressive.
- Miles vs. 3. Miles (even/upgrade) Probably wont be a factor, but anything he could give us would be an upgrade.
- Raef vs. 4. McRoberts (even/upgrade) Raef played 27 games and averaged 3.5pts and 2.5rbs. I think Josh can match or beat that, most likely beat it.
- Gingerbreadman vs. 5. Oden (even) Come on. Oden has more of presence and impact while sitting on the bench with crutches
Now here is a very important part, we have guys that could be surprises this year and tip the scales. Just look at Outlaw, Jack, Blake, Webster, Jones, Frye, or even Joel, Mcroberts, and Miles(left out LMA because I expect him to take a big step forward). I don't see any of these guys taking steps back on last year, and they could all easily take big steps forward.
So what do you think? Am I anywhere close? Please feel free to dismantle my argument in any way you like, I want to accurately gauge how our lineup will look without Greg Oden. My opinion is that we are still better than last year, and with a couple nice surprises, we could be in a playoff race come March and April

Circuit Judge
10th Judicial Circuit - Criminal Division
801 Richard Arrington Jr. Boulevard North, Suite 405
Birmingham, AL 35203
(205)325-5323 / firstname.lastname@example.com
Stephen is a 2001 graduate of the University of Alabama School of Law. He also has a B.S. in Finance from Birmingham Southern College. Upon receiving his Juris Doctorate he worked at Partner, Dawson & Wallace, LLC trying over 40 civil and criminal jury trials, including capital murder and other serious felonies. He represented police officers and other public service employees in administrative employment appeals, represented plaintiffs in First Amendment and employment discrimination cases, and successfully prosecuted civil rights actions. As a Circuit Court Judge, Stephen presides over felony and misdemeanor cases.
Stephen is a frequent moderator and speaker for the Birmingham Bar Association, is a Special Municipal Court prosecutor, a volunteer for Homeless Experience Legal Protection, and has been recognized by peers as one of Birmingham's top criminal attorneys.
The Circuit Judge who recommended Stephen said, "I have had the honor of watching Stephen develop from a law student into a lawyer and now, to a very accomplished judge. Stephen entered the legal profession not because he wanted to make a lot of money, but because he loved to see the law and the justice system work on behalf of human beings. As a practicing criminal defense lawyer, it was obvious that Stephen was advocating on behalf of a person who was a client, not just a client. Rarely in this day and time do we see young lawyers eager to use the law to make a difference in someone's life rather than to make a living. Rarely in this day and time do we see lawyers who are themselves role models for other lawyers as well as the people they represent and their neighbors in the community. As a judge, Stephen is so conscientious. He wants to follow the law and he wants to see it applied fairly. Judge Wallace wants to know all there is to know about the case before him. He doesn't want to make knee jerk rulings to move a case along, but rather wants to do the right thing under the law and on those decisions where he has discretion he wants to do the fair thing for all those involved. Judge Wallace knows that the legal system doesn't operate in a vacuum. He is aware that his decisions have a far reaching impact into the lives and well being of many people. He also has a keen sense of the affect of what judges do on a daily basis has on local communities."
In his own words Stephen said, "My unique legal experience and practice makes me a solid candidate for the Leadership Forum Class 9. Prior to joining the bench, I primarily represented individuals in criminal and civil damage suits. Through an extensive trial practice, I was able to gain experience in the courtroom trying a range of cases. In addition to trying jury trials, I also represented public employees in administrative employment appeals and successfully prosecuted civil rights actions. During the course of my legal practice, I felt strongly that I could make a contribution as a judge. In 2010, after receiving encouragement from my peers, I decided to run for a Circuit Court judicial position. Running for office is an experience like none other and Jefferson County has a diverse population that compels you to meet a wide range of people and personalities. Campaigning was also a particularly time consuming and demanding endeavor for me and my family. Out of approximately two hundred and eight thousand votes cast, I won by less than four thousand votes. It was an extremely thrilling and humbling experience to win and I certainly owe it to my supporters and family. In January 2011, I was sworn into office as a Circuit Court Judge presiding over criminal cases. I can honestly say that I enjoy waking up every day and coming to work. It has been a most rewarding experience and I feel honored to serve. Because of my unique legal and political experience I can provide different and valuable points of view to the class. I am most proud of the civil rights actions my firm prosecuted to stop the illegal practice of incarcerating indigent defendants because of their inability to pay nominal fines and court costs. In particular, my firm filed suit against city courts seeking class-wide injunctive relief regarding their treatment of criminal defendants. A number of municipal courts were notorious for warehousing indigent defendants simply because they lacked the means to pay certain fines and costs for traffic or misdemeanor convictions. Eventually, these cases were resolved, and the defendants agreed to stop these unlawful practices and implement procedural safeguards to ensure against future abuses. These efforts also served to highlight the vast disparity of how our legal system treats those persons with affluence and wealth relative to those that are poor. Fortunately, through the course of the litigation, the named defendants along with other municipalities stopped these practices and sought to provide indigent defendants with adequate legal counsel and alternatives to incarceration. Also, through some of the publicity it generated, it brought this matter to the public's attention. Through the Leadership Forum, I would like to increase my involvement with the bar and build stronger bonds with others who are also committed to making Alabama a better place. Some of the most valuable lessons I have learned have been from other lawyers. The Leadership Forum would be a great opportunity to forge stronger bonds with lawyers from diverse practices, backgrounds, and geography to strengthen me, and I hope them, in service to our profession and community. Finally, we live in a state that needs the legal profession to step up and contribute. Alabama has a number of chronic problems that require attention, thoughtfulness, and leadership of serious people. Unlike other lines of work, lawyers and judges have often contributed in meaningful ways to advocate our state for the better. I would like to participate in that important service of trying to advance the legal profession and particularly our state."

Golf the "fourth leg" of Palm Beach County's economy?
By Jeff Ostrowski
You've heard the cliche about Florida's economy being a three-legged stool supported by farming, tourism and real estate. In Palm Beach County, there might be a fourth leg — golf.
The PGA of America this week released a study that says golf generated $925 million in direct spending in Palm Beach County in 2007. That included $456 million for golf course operations, $217 million for homes in golf communities and $111 million in tourism spending.
"We've long viewed Palm Beach County as the golf capital of the world, and this confirms it," said Joe Steranka, chief executive of the PGA of America, which is headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens.
Add in a multiplier that calculates how that $925 million sloshes through the local economy, and the PGA says golf's total economic impact is $1.8 billion. (By my calculations, the county's economy is worth $40 billion.) Of course, many economists assign economic impact studies the same level of credibility as a scorecard filled out by a duffer during his round.
"You can take all that with a grain of salt," said Phil Porter, an economics professor at the University of South Florida.
If golf is the fourth leg of Palm Beach County's economic stool, it's grown a bit wobbly of late. Ironhorse Country Club in West Palm Beach recently filed for bankruptcy, and the PGA PerformanceTrak reports the number of rounds played in South Florida fell 1.3 percent from 2008 to 2009, while course revenue dipped 3.8 percent.
Still, there hasn't been the sort of crash you might expect from this purely discretionary corner of the economy.
Steranka said the PGA decided to tout its economic impact because golf courses on the Gulf Coast were left out of a tax break after Hurricane Katrina.
"We felt that no longer could we be passive in letting members of Congress and their staff develop and enact legislation that could have a negative impact on the golf industry," he said.

If Thursday was any indication of the season to come, it was gonna be a long one. But expectedly, and thankfully, us college football fans were treated to some exciting games this weekend. And despite a bevy of cupcake games for SEC teams this week, there was no shortage of action. Here's what we learned in the first week of the SEC season:
Mississippi State 59 - Memphis 14
Remember the name Vick Ballard. Ballard was a monster in the Bulldogs' win over Memphis. Ballard went for 166 yards on just 10 attempts (16.6 yards/carry) and three touchdowns including TD runs of 46 and 66 yards. Think about that. Just under 1/3 of his carries went for touchdowns. Ballard showed he has the ability to carry this team to 9 or 10 wins and maybe even shock a few teams in the SEC West.
Kentucky 14 - Western Kentucky 3
Joker Phillips has an uphill climb ahead of him. Sure they got the win, but nobody, not even Kentucky fans, will try to talk up UK's performance against the 'Toppers. Phillips got the Wildcats to a bowl game last year after beating Louisville and South Carolina, but we saw just how much Randall Cobb was a part of that on Thursday night. Kentucky was average defensively, but offensively they were a complete train wreck, putting up 190 yards over four quarters against one of the worst teams in the FBS. They'll have to find a way to move the ball before the SEC part of their schedule kicks in, or this could be a long season in Lexington.
Alabama 48 - Kent State 7
Saban may have found his quarterback. If there's one thing that Saban has preached throughout the summer and fall with the quarterback competition, it's been that the numbers won't tell the whole story. Sometimes stats lie and while they were a bit deceptive on Saturday, it was pretty apparent who the better quarterback was in a live game situation. McCarron outplayed Sims in every statistical category, except they each threw two interceptions.
One of McCarron's interceptions hit Michael Williams square in the hands, and the other was a slightly overthrown ball intended for Marquis Maze. Both of Sims' interceptions were simply bad decisions, and one of them cost Alabama their only points against of the day. I'm not declaring McCarron the long-term starter right now, but it certainly looks like it could be headed that way.
Auburn 42 - Utah State 38
The Tigers still know how to win. Cam Newton may have left. Nick Fairley may have left. But I'll be damned if Auburn still doesn't know how to win close games. After five wins of three points or less last year, Auburn picked up right where they left off, pulling off yet another heart-stopping finish on the Plains. After being outplayed for the first 58 minutes in a game they had no business being in, the Tigers scored 14 points in just 2:07 and came away with their first win of the season. The 2011 Tigers may be severely less talented than the 2010 version, but the killer instinct that won them the title is still there.
Ole Miss 13 - BYU 14
The Rebels still don't know how to win. Up 13-0 in the fourth quarter in a game they had controlled for much of the day, the fightin' Houston Nutts still found a way to blow it. First, it was a methodical drive that ended with a 19 yard touchdown pass, and then it was the forced fumble returned for a touchdown by Kyle Van Noy. The Rebels showed us that they have the talent to compete this year, but closing out games still remains a big question mark in Oxford.
Tennessee 42 - Montana 16
Derek Dooley has an offense. Tennessee looked like a team that could sneak up on a couple of people this year against Montana on Saturday night. Tyler Bray threw for 293 yards and three touchdowns and he was throwing it to his main targets. Justin Hunter and Da'rick Rodgers both had 100 yards receiving and a touchdown. It'll be interesting to see what they do against Cincinnati and Florida the next two weeks, but Tennessee might be better than people think.
Arkansas 51 - Missouri State 7
The passing game will be all right. Tyler Wilson got off to about as good of a start as you can as a first-time starting quarterback, completing 18/24 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns. What remains to be seen is whether the running game will see a significant drop off with the loss of Kniles Davis. It was pretty underwhelming on Saturday, just barely eclipsing the 100 yard mark.
Oh, and Joe Adams is pretty good.
Florida 41 - Florida Atlantic 3
John Brantley is finally in the right system. Watching Brantley play last year was just awkward. Meyer and Addazio wanted him to play in an offense that wasn't suited for his skill set. But Charlie Weiss' offense fits Brantley like a glove and it showed. Chris Rainey made the flashier plays, but John Brantley will be a major factor in determining Florida's success this year, and he finally seems to be comfortable running the offense.
South Carolina 56 - East Carolina 37
Stephen Garcia earned the starting quarterback job... right? The Connor Shaw Era at South Carolina didn't last long. When Stephen Garcia took over the Gamecocks were down 17-0, but he promptly rallied the team, and led them on a borderline-improbable comeback. I would like to say that we'll see Garcia for the remainder of the season, but this is still Steve Spurrier we're talking about here.
Vanderbilt 45 - Elon 14
James Franklin is a gamblin' man. Franklin went for it three times on fourth down, and converted all three, leading to 17 more points for the Commodores. And let's be honest, when you're the head coach of Vandy, why not take a few risks every now and then? Franklin definitely has the 'Dores on the right track, and I wouldn't be too surprised if they give UConn a run for their money.
Georgia 21 - Boise State 35
Boise gets it done on the big stage. We pretty much already knew this, but Boise finally did it against an SEC team. Sure it was a middle-of-the-pack team, but the talent and speed deficiency Boise was up against was very obvious and Chris Peterson made some crucial adjustments and was able to come out with a win.
For Georgia, I'm not sure we'll really know what we learned from this game until a few more weeks. Did Boise actually beat a really good team? Was Georgia overrated and really not that good of a team? Only time will tell.
LSU 40 - Oregon 27
LSU cemented it's status as a top 5 team. There were questions all over for LSU coming into the season and they pretty much answered them all in Dallas. But what's most impressive is that they did it with their two best players watching from the sidelines. Jarrett Lee did all he had to, the running game took over, and the defense created havoc for a usually efficient Ducks offense. With Jefferson and Shepard coming back, LSU definitely has the ability to win it all.

So we know that the owner is once again hunting Moby Dick. We know that Sheldon Souray and Lubomir Vishnovsky are being shopped. We now know the new coach thinks Ales Hemsky is a center, and he doesn't like him one bit. We know the general manager wants to ship out the Lilliputians and bring in a bunch of Gullivers and draft the best player available, but keeping in mind they need to get bigger. I suspect this off-season is going to like stepping into another world. A world where very few of us are going to be happy. As long as what's going to happen is probably close to unimaginable, I'm opening a post for everyone to give me their offseason dreams in the comments. Here's my wildest dreams:
Penner - Horcoff - Hemsky
O'Sullivan - Pavelski - Pisani
Cogliano - Gagner - Gaborik
Jacques - Brodziak - Stortini
Bouwmeester - Gilbert
Vishnovsky - Grebeshkov
Montador - Smid
Trade Souray for Pavelski
Trade Staios, Pouliot and Moreau for picks
Send Nilsson to Florida for the Bouwmeester rights
Sign Bouwmeester, Gaborik, Montador, Legace, Labarbera
My dear readers, I am Mr. Roarke, your host. Welcome to Fantasy Offseason.

Schutta: BC, Bergenfield learned from Bergen Cup experiences
Cinderella will be on the field Sunday when Bergen Catholic and Bergenfield face off at 6 p.m. in the last of four Bergen County boys soccer tournament quarterfinal games at River Dell.
Both teams are unseeded. Both failed to qualify for the tournament last year. And both are coming off huge, 1-0 upset wins in the second round of the tournament last week.
And while the two battle for the glass slipper as the Cinderella team of the tournament, the matchup also gives a hefty boost to the third annual Bergen Cup tournament, which will also be playing its quarterfinals this weekend.
The Bergen Cup is a tournament made up of teams that did not qualify for the county tournament, designed specifically to give those players a taste of tournament play where something is on the line every game.
The matchup between the Crusaders and the Bears is a rematch of last year's Bergen Cup final, won by Bergenfield, 2-0.
Now, one of them is guaranteed to be playing in the semifinals Oct. 21 against the winner of the quarterfinal between second-seeded Don Bosco and No. 7 Northern Highlands.
This year, players from teams such as Rutherford, Hackensack, Fair Lawn and Saddle Brook will get their taste of tournament soccer with something on the line weeks before the state tournament begins.
The Cup has already begun with sixth-seeded Fort Lee upsetting No. 3 Indian Hills, 2-1, in a quarterfinal game this week. This weekend, top-seeded Rutherford will face the winner of Friday's preliminary game between Teaneck and Emerson, second-seeded Fair Lawn will face No. 7 Tenafly and fourth-seeded Saddle Brook will face No. 5 Hackensack.
Emerson is coming off a huge performance Thursday when it took unbeaten Waldwick to overtime and came away with a 1-1 tie. And Hackensack has two wins against a strong Ridgewood team.
And when it's all said and done after the Cup final on Oct. 27, will one of these teams come out with the tournament experience that can put it in the thick of the county race next year?
As Bergen Catholic and Bergenfield have proven this year, you never know.

Men's lacrosse heads north to face No. 18 Bucknell
After a dominant performance against Sacred Heart, the JU men's lacrosse team is back on the road for the second time this year when the Dolphins face No. 18 Bucknell tomorrow in Winston-Salem, N.C. at 7 p.m.
The Dolphins (4-3) moved above .500 for the first time in program history with a 17-7 victory over the Pioneers.
"This will be a tough challenge for our young team, taking on another top-20 team," said JU head coach Matt Kerwick. "We're going to give our best effort against a strong Bucknell squad."
Last week, freshman Ryan Serville, second in the nation in points, helped his cause with four goals and three assists while sophomore Jeremy Tissenbaum and freshman Nick Scalzo each added three goals and an assist against Sacred Heart. Senior goalie Brad Hester recorded his fourth win of the season with seven saves in 53 minutes.
Bucknell (3-2) comes into tomorrow's game off a 9-7 victory over Hobart. Charlie Streep scored four goals in his first game as an attackman and Austin Winter registered a goal and three assists in the victory.

A look at who would fit better with the Atlanta Hawks, Mike Bibby or Ramon Sessions.
Marvin Williams is returning to the Atlanta Hawks with a new contract.
A look at why Marvin Williams was the best option for the Atlanta Hawks.
There are still some very big names available on the 2009 NBA Free Agent market. Whether or not it has something to do with the present state of the economy, we take a look at a few of the bigger...
It would seem that the Pacers have reached a deal with PG Earl Watson, who was recently released by the Thunder. With Shaun Livingston making strides, and Russell Westbrook commanding a lot of playing time with solid play, there was simply not enough room for Watson in Oklahoma City. That being said, he's a nice guy, and we wish him well in Indiana!
Some observations from the Atlanta Hawks press conference marking the free agent signing of Mike Bibby and Zaza Pachulia.

I'll admit, i'm getting really close to admitting i was terribly, terribly wrong about one Andrew Bogut and how much he would help this team. Whether it be he just has lost it and/or just doesn't fit in, i'm going to wait a bit longer here since he's just now up to cough cough, "full speed" again. But i'm really tempted to admit wrongness on the whole matter.
Not that i think trading Monta was wrong, and the idea was wrong. It made/makes a lot of sense, and the addition by subtraction angle was something many of us had said for years regarding how Monta is/plays.
But how do others feel?
Is it that Bogut just ruins the flow the team had? For whatever reasons they played better without trying to integrate him in? Should we consider him 6th man, centering the bench unit and on nights he's on and when facing big interiors, in there in crunch time?
Is it he just needs more time to get to full speed and gel, that we have to push through these growing with the team pains for the payoff on the other side?
How does a team play good D for a long time, then when they get what should be their most important D piece, lose their edge on D?
I will say that the teams we've faced since he's been back have been either really good, or really hot (Hou and Utah being really hot.) And in Hou's case, who we played twice, they score vs everybody just about.
Is it Mark Jackson's lack of coaching experience running out of positive vibes, winning on fumes? Is MJ at a loss now that the real nitty gritty of coaching has presented itself? Does his perhaps lack of X and Os come into play here/now?
I really don't know. I thought Bogut would both help more and be better individually. I could end up being very wrong about him being able to get past his injury issues, that they may indeed be so bad he'll never be the same, or close to it.
What says all of you? What the hell is going on here? How worried should us Dubs fans really be at this point?

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones will receive a second opinion Wednesday on his injured foot, head coach Mike Smith told reporters Tuesday. Smith confirmed reports that Jones underwent tests with team doctors earlier in the day, noting the initial results were "not encouraging," but adding that it would be "premature" to label Jones as out for the season at this point.
"Julio injured his foot last night," Smith said, according to the team's official website. "He saw our doctors this morning. He is going to have a second opinion tomorrow over in Charlotte, North Carolina. The first reports were not encouraging, but we will wait to see what the second opinion comes back as."
It's not exactly clear when Jones suffered the injury, in part because he continued to play through it.
"I spoke with Julio and Julio is a tough guy in terms of the exact play, but we think we've pretty much pinpointed when it happened," Smith said.
Earlier Tuesday, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported that Jones could miss the remainder of the 2013 season with a foot injury. This came after the NFL Network's Jeff Darlington reported Monday night that Jones was seen limping out of the X-ray room following the team's loss to the New York Jets on Monday Night Football.
As noted at The Falcoholic, losing Jones is a big deal. Through five weeks, he has the second-most receiving yardage in the NFL and has carried the load for Atlanta's offense while Roddy White has slowly recovered from a high ankle sprain. While White has played in every game this season, he's been used mostly as a decoy. The Falcons need him to increase his production if Jones' injury is as bad as it sounds.
Tight end Tony Gonzalez and fellow receiver Harry Douglas must also step it up if the team hopes to improve on its 1-4 record. Quarterback Matt Ryan has already had a tough season thus far, and he'll have to work doubly hard without the talented third-year receiver.

Albany- There's no doubt Joel and Tyree know how to color.
But it's moments like this that also teach them to communicate and socialize. Educators in Georgia are doing a good job teaching pre-kindergartners.
"Georgia was one of the few states that took the initiative to invest in early childhood education," said Rochelle Bush, director of pre-kindergarten program for the Dougherty County School System.
The state's lottery funded free pre-k program like this one in Dougherty County makes Georgia a national leader.
"The sooner you can acclimate children to what's going to be expected in school, the better that they adjust," Bush said.
Dougherty County educators know that's what happens in their program. That's why they put in a bid to control the Head Start program. Albany State University has also put in a bid for the Head Start program. Those students will likely end up in Dougherty County classrooms anyway, so it makes sense for the system to help with getting them started.
"Then they will come to kindergarten much better prepared," she said.
If the school system takes over Head Start, the money will be handled at the central office. But recently, the system has come under fire for the mishandling of millions of dollars for child nutrition.
"The controls will be put in place to be sure that the money is fully monitored and every penny is accounted for efficiently," said School Board Member David Maschke.
Maschke wrote a letter of recommendation that's included with the system's bid.
"If we do such a good job for these 200 kids that we should certainly make every effort to do a good job for as many more children we are able to accommodate," he said. "The Head Start program has done a wonderful job in serving our children and serving our families."
Now the school system wants to safeguard the quality of that program and touch the lives of more pre-kindergartners, working with their minds and their masterpieces.

Ahead of 2012, Ukraine reclaims iconographic and football treasures
But, while many Jews might disagree, the stereotype of the Ukrainian as "natural anti-Semite" does not hold. Throughout the literature one finds gestures of accommodation and tolerance among Jews, Ukrainians and other ethnic groups. Writer Ivan Franko could in fin de siècle Galicia raise parallels between Ukrainian and Israelite searches for a homeland. His series of stories about Borislav peasants and oil workers served as a strikers' textbook that Franko hoped might sow seeds for interethnic socialism in his homeland.
Measures to remember manifold plights that made Ukraine and neighboring Belarus ground zero for 20th-century suffering continue to gain momentum. "It must be remembered," said architect Volodymyr Zhuravel on his monument that since Sept 09 commemorates the 33,771 victims at Babi Yar, the bloodiest killing field in a holocaust by bullets. Almost forgotten among human losses in World War II, 250,000 items disappeared from Ukrainian museums along with 50 million books.
Will football and Ukraine's faith community grasp their potential to help shape post-Communist life and to fill in historical gaps?
The metaphor of iconography offers instruction. Restoration experts over the past hundred years noticed that icons dulled by time possess brilliant colors underneath. In a 1916 essay on Russian iconography, Eugene Trubetskoi writes: "The darkened faces of saints in our old churches were due to our indifference and neglect, and partly to lack of skill: we did not know how to take care of our treasures."

8. Tennessee - Jake Locker
9. Dallas - Tyron Smith
10. Washington - Christian Ponder
11. Houston - Aldon Smith
12. Minnesota - Andy Dalton
13. Detroit - Nick Fairley

17. New England - Cam Jordan
18. San Diego - Corey Liuget
19. New York Giants - Nate Solder
20. Tampa Bay - Robert Quinn
21. KC - Gabe Carimi
22. Indy - Anthony Castonzo
23. Philly - Jimmy Smith
24. New Orleans - Adrian Clayborn
25. Seattle - Prince Amukamara
26. Baltimore - JJ Watt
27. Atlanta - Phil Taylor
28. New England - Danny Watkins
29. Chicago - Marvin Austin
30. New York Jets - Derrick Sherrod
31. Pittsburgh - Cameron Heyward
32. Green Bay - Aaron Williams
Kiper: Cameron Jordan, DE, Cal
A shift from the previous mock, where I had the Cowboys targeting a corner. This is a team that needs to find solutions on front seven and Jordan offers a lot of versatility. Think about lining up a dynamic pass-rusher who can take on double-teams as a 3-4 defensive end and forcing the offense to make a decision on doubling him or DeMarcus Ware. There are questions in the Dallas secondary, but we know so much of what gets exposed down the field starts with what you're not doing up front. I can see Dallas moving off this pick, but I like Jordan if the Cowboys stay put.
Mayock: Tyron Smith, OT, USC
I think the Cowboys would like to trade down here, but this kid is talented. Dallas can plug him in at right tackle, and he upgrades the youth and athleticism of the offensive line.
McShay: JJ Watt, DE, Wisconsin
Watt's size, strength, athletic ability and motor make him a good fit as a 5-technique in the Cowboys' 3-4 defensive scheme.

In the end, Rex Ryan's gargantuan mouth bit off more than it could chew.
From Day 1 through Day 1,429, the New York Jets head coach has talked. And talked. And talked. And talked.
Often his answers and demeanor have been humorous. I've honestly never met a high-profile coach or manager who wanted to be loved by the media like Rex did. One well-known writer told me, "When it comes to press conferences, he's the best."
On the other hand, when it comes to press conferences, Bill Belichick is easily the worst. But that's a topic for another day.
This is about the fall of Jets and their head coach. And his mouth.
The problem is that during his incessant, humorous and sometimes incoherent ramblings, he made promises he couldn't keep.
His "I'm not going to kiss Belichick's rings" comment was just what Jets fans wanted and, the Jets believed, needed to hear. It was akin to a new Red Sox manager coming in and saying he hated the Yankees. New Englanders love that.
That was fine. But then Rex, with the back page of the N.Y. Post and N.Y. Daily News in his corner, got dangerous.
He promised something football coaches at all levels would never dare promise: He promised championships, as in Super Bowls.
He also pulled another coaching no-no, he told everyone that the Jets drafted a "franchise" quarterback in Mark Sanchez. He even jokingly nicknamed him "San-chize," stealing a back page headline. It was way over the top, his promises and unreal expectations.
Along the way he tried, sometimes successfully, to prod his talented and successful neighbors to the north, your New England Patriots. He gave half-hearted praise of Belichick and Tom Brady early in his tenure, always saying, "Their coach is better than me. Their quarterback is better ... But he's going to get my best shot."

Tissot ROCKWATCH, ca. 1985
While they are ROCK solid, they do not survive a smash with a Tennis Racket!
Here is how it went: I "stormed" to the
net trying to smash that volley right down and make the winning stroke. Somehow
I managed to swing my racket down on my left wrist. I was pointing to the ball
with my left hand, as the school book says, but obviously did not move my left
arm away quick enough ... A sudden pain and a crack... and I looked at my wrist,
there was the green band and the "naked" movement still ticking! But where had
the rocky case gone?
I checked the red sand and found the splinters of green Granite. Green Granite is a quite rare and in Switzerland normally from from Andeer, a small village in my home state - or canton how we Swiss call our federation's members. The green Granite from Andeer was the reason I bought the watch in the first place. As a sentimental token of my home state that I had left to study in Zurich. Another reason to buy this watch was the fact that all ROCKWATCHES were unique as the rocks from which they were turned. I was also quite surprised to see how thin the Sapphire crystal was. I always thought they were thicker. In the case of the ROCKWATCH, material experts might have chosen a thinner crystal then usual in order to let the crystal crack before the case. My tennis racket went right through crystal and case. The racket was one of the first Graphite Donnay rackets.
I was very lucky, Tissot was able to replace the case for CHF 50 a couple of years later. That was in the mid 80ies. And I am of course not as foolish anymore and do not wear ROCKWATCHES or mechanical watches on tennis courts anymore. Actually I do not wear any watch for tennis anymore, only exception if I have appointments after the game, I will wear a really inexpensive digital beater. And this digital beater will normally watch the game from the bench ... to keep it in good shape.

The Angels have come back in our lives in a huge way since March. Most of you have already felt this conscious connection. If you have not felt a shift yet, everything is okay as this will continue through June.
Even though the Angels were not consciously close to us for the last 18 – 24 months, they never really left us. Our Angels are a higher aspect of our individual soul, so they cannot ever separate or leave us. There is a purpose for everything and even though it hasn't been easy navigating our paths without feeling our spiritual support as strongly, this was a planned part of our collective experience.
The Angels wanted to let you know now that they are back, they will be much more active in our lives guiding and protecting us. They say that even when we are distracted, they notice who is coming into our energy, what situations are an issue, what energy or experience is not something we need in our lives. If there is something that goes against what we are to experience on our soul path, they will give us a physical feeling as a warning. If we don't pay attention, they may give us a second stronger feeling, a knowing or a direct message or sign.
Share a free sample Personal Astrology Profile. What makes you unique? Discover a snapshot of the cosmos at your birth and the forces that shape you.
It is up to us to listen to our Angels when they are giving us messages. They do have to honor our free-will so if they are giving us messages and we are not paying attention, they will have to go silent until we figure out on our own that a person or situation isn't good for us.
Now that the Angels are back in our consciousness, let them help you. Talk with them. Listen to them. Get comfortable with being able to know how your highest Angels communicate with you. Is it through feelings? Or maybe a knowing? Or is it through signs? Every person is unique and so we each need to find out how we best can know things from our Angels. Following this inner soul guidance will always keep you on your highest and easiest path. And with all that is going on here on Earth that is a beautiful place to be.

Sita Sings the Blues is an animated film created by Nina Paley. It juxtaposes the love story of Ram and Sita, (from the Hindu scripture the Ramayana) with Paley's own relationship story. Paley presents the story of Ram and Sita with a focus on the ways Ram abused Sita. Because of her own relationship woes, Paley really connected to Sita in this way. Sita's experience struck a chord with Paley so much so that she was inspired to create a film around it.
For those readers who're unfamiliar with the Ram-Sita saga, here's a brief recap: Sita was madly in love and devoted to Ram, and was captured by the evil king Ravan who wanted to make her his wife. Sita refused over and over again. When Ram rescued Sita from the evil king, he doubted her loyalty to him and made her walk through fire to prove her purity. Sita's purity would be proven if she made it through the fire unscathed, which she did. Later on, however, Ram's followers talked smack about him because they didn't believe Sita was in fact faithful during her captivity. To protect his pride, Ram banished Sita to the forest. Sita said she would prove her purity, AGAIN, by asking mother earth to take her back into the ground- which she did. So, in sum, Sita devotes her life to this man and literally walks through fire for him, only to be rejected because of his stupid pride.
Now, there is an obvious problem with the artistic liberty Paley took. Paley is not Hindu. She is not even South Asian. She is a white woman who did not grow up knowing Indian culture and Hinduism. As an outsider to a culture/religion, it is always smart to be careful with your approach. However, Paley perhaps did not use the greatest amount of care when she took the sacred story of Lord Ram and Sita out of its traditional context- in which Lord Ram's praises are sung and Sita's tribulations are given a back seat. In fact, her adaptation clearly criticizes the Hindu community for accepting Ram's sexism.
Moreover, Paley's choice of animation style does nothing to pacify her critics. Sita's body is hypersexualized, with large, round breasts propped up to her chin, a teeny-tiny waist, and voluptuous hips. Just take a look at the image above and tell me she doesn't look like an Indian Betty Boop?! I see how, to many people, this adds insult to injury.
However, in spite of Paley's cultural appropriation, I see a lot of merit in Sita Sings the Blues. It gives the Hindu community a mirror to look back at itself in, and a chance to change the traditional discourses we have around our scriptures. Paley didn't make up the scene where Ram asks Sita to walk through fire, or the scene where he banishes her to the forest. These are actual parts of Hindu scripture that millions of people look to for guidance in how to live their lives. In Hindu culture, Sita is seen as the ideal wife. Women are expected to try to be like her- to worship their husbands and do anything for them, even when their husbands don't reciprocate. Moreover, the story creates/reinforces the gender stereotype that women are worthless if they are not "pure," and tells us that being "pure" means only having sexual contact with one man- your husband- for your entire life. Going further, what if the evil king had raped Sita? The story suggests Ram would have acted no differently. Whether Sita consented to the sex does not seem to be an issue- she would have been thrown away for being touched by another man even if it was against her will.
This sexism in Hindu scripture should be dealt with, instead of ignored. Ignoring it means millions of people will continue to have their values shaped by stories like these and women will continue to have unfair, demeaning expectations placed upon them.
I see what Paley did to the Hindu community as similar to what Bill Cosby did to the Black community in 2004. Except, Bill Cosby is Black. Sometimes, in order for change to happen, dirty laundry needs to be aired out. But, maybe this laundry should have been aired out by a Hindu launderer...
And that's my two cents.
