Ohio State is Top Producer of Fulbright Awardees
University cited for number of faculty and students winning grants to study abroad
Columbus, Ohio � The Ohio State University has been named the nation�s top-producing Fulbright Scholar institution and 14 in producing U.S. Fulbright students. The rankings were published this week in The Chronicle of Higher Education.
The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State�s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, is the U.S. government�s flagship international exchange program. It provides grants for students and scholars to study, teach or conduct research and exchange ideas in 155 countries.
This academic year, 14 Ohio State faculty members earned prestigious Fulbright Scholar grants. They will lecture, conduct research or participate in seminars abroad. The Chronicle ranks Ohio State best in the nation as a top Fulbright producer among research universities, tied with the University of Illinois.
In addition, 16 Buckeyes � recent graduates and current graduate students � will represent the United States as winners of Fulbright U.S. Student Program grants. These students will teach students around the world, sharing American culture and researching topics from physics to post-war Russia. The Chronicle ranks Ohio State 14, tied with Duke, Stanford and the University of Pennsylvania.
"The Fulbright Program is among our faculty�s most important gateways to opportunities abroad," said Ohio State Executive Vice President and Provost Joseph E. Steinmetz. "Fulbright funding helps faculty members carry out work in international settings that simply can't be accomplished elsewhere. They then come back to Ohio State and share the benefits of what they've discovered with our students�many of whom, as our numbers attest, are then inspired to seek their own Fulbrights. It�s a virtuous cycle that we want to encourage and nurture."
The rankings of both scholars and students are the result of an increased emphasis at Ohio State on Fulbright opportunities. Over the last four years, the Graduate School, Undergraduate Fellowship Office and Office of International Affairs have collaborated to promote Fulbright opportunities through a Fulbright Week at Ohio State program.
"Ohio State is really increasing its participation with the Fulbright and gaining national recognition for our efforts," said Dana Kuchem, who manages Ohio State's Undergraduate Fellowship Office. The office advises and assists undergraduates in applying for prestigious international scholarships and fellowships.
"I�m delighted to see that Ohio State graduate students are successfully competing for these prestigious awards," said Patrick S. Osmer, vice provost for graduate studies and dean of the Graduate School. "International experience has long been a crucial part of graduate education and graduate research, and it will be increasingly more important in this globalized world.
"Creativity, solving problems, and making and sharing new knowledge are the hallmarks of graduate education," said Osmer. "Many times, that new knowledge can be made only through research that has to be undertaken in other countries. The Fulbright programs provide critical support to graduate students who are doing this kind of work."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Alabama's Justin Kamplain threw eight innings and the Crimson Tide held on in the ninth to defeat the Florida State Seminoles, 6-5, in the Tallahassee Regional elimination game Saturday afternoon at Dick Howser Stadium.
The win keeps Alabama alive in the regional tournament. The Tide faces Georgia Southern at 11 a.m. today in another elimination game.
Against Florida State, Kamplain earned the win, after allowing one run on five hits with four walks and three strikeouts. The former Walker High School star improved to 7-3 on the season and the Tide is now 6-1 in his last seven starts.
"For Justin (Kamplain), it was one of his best starts all year and he did a great job keeping them off balance," Alabama head coach Mitch Gaspard said. "We showed life offensively, particularly against (Luke) Weaver who is a very dominant pitcher. Then we get to the ninth inning and it got really interesting, especially for us, with what happened here last year. But just to find a way to get that win was huge for our team. I think it's something that we can build on moving through the remainder of the tournament."
With the Tide holding a 6-0 lead leading to the bottom of the ninth, Florida State scored five runs on two hits with three walks and two hit batters in its last trip to the plate.
After eight scoreless innings, Kamplain gave up a leadoff single in the ninth inning to John Nogowski and was replaced by Jon Keller. Keller's day was short-lived as he hit two and walked one of the three batters he faced to put of the first run on the board for the Seminoles.
The Tide went to the bullpen for closer Thomas Burrows, who walked the first two batters he faced to make the score 6-3. Then, after recording a pair of outs, Noles' All-American left fielder DJ Stewart drove in two with a single to center field to cut the Bama lead to one at 6-5.
With the tying run at third, FSU pinch-hitter Gage West flew out to center field to end the game.
West was hitting in Nogowski's spot in the order, after he was replaced by a pinch-runner after his lead-off single.
"To start out the ninth inning, we told Justin that we'd give him 10 pitches to try to finish it out," Gaspard said. "When the first guy gets the base hit, we sort of felt like that was it for him. We wanted to go to Jon Keller. I was hoping Jon could take us home and we wouldn't have to use the closer there, be he wasn't very sharp today. At that point, we had to go right to (Tom) Burrows. It's a tough spot for a freshman, especially when the crowd gets going. But I thought he was able to regroup after a tough starts and a couple walks."
Prior to the allowing a run in the ninth, Kamplain had not allowed a run in 18.1 consecutive innings. Burrows, who allowed a run on a hit with two walks, recorded the last three outs of the game to record his 11th save of the season.
Mikey White had a big day at the plate for the Tide, going 2-for-4 with a home run and three runs scored. Austen Smith stayed hot, posting a 2-for-3 day that included his second straight game with two doubles. Wade Wass was 1-for-4, but his only hit of the game was a seventh inning two-run home run to put Bama ahead by six, which eventually ended up as the game-winning run.
Of Florida State's six hits (all singles) Stewart has two with two RBI, and Brett Knief, Casey Smit, Nogowski and Justin Gonzalez had a hit each. Gonzalez also walked twice and Ben DeLuzio walked three times.

This collection of 40 stories translated from 37 languages, from places ranging from Galway to the Urals, gives anglophone readers a very different take on the world of contemporary letters. It also generates a very different sense of how that world is constituted: virtually every nation provides a story, which means that the Europe here is quite substantially eastern. This is a fragmentary continent of linguistic particularists but one where borders are permeated by economic migration and post-war diasporas ("Dumbo's Death" gives us a Serbian junkie dying on a Barcelona street), where electronic surveillance is total and deadly ("Taboo" from Belarus), and where Russian witches still cast out the evil eye and starving Romanians fight over a goose. Many of the writers are young; the orientation is primarily modernist (Kafka's "A Hunger Artist" casts a slender, melancholy shadow over the poignant carnival oddity of "The Ugliest Woman in the World"). This project is so fecund and committed that one wonders how art can be taken so casually in this country.

Former Browns returner Josh Cribbs says he will return to football on 'DAWGS on the run' mobilecast
CLEVELAND - Former Browns Pro Bowl returner Josh Cribbs said on Monday's 'DAWGS on the run' mobilecast premiere that he is getting calls from different teams and will play football again.
A viewer named Gerald who called in asked Cribbs if he will ever return to the game.
"Definitely," Cribbs said. "Right now I'm in training."
Cribbs, a Kent State graduate, was released by the Browns this offseason after eight seasons with the team. He caught on with the Raiders but did not make their roster after struggling during the preseason.
"I'm loving the off time right now but seeing football yesterday it's time to get back out there, so you'll see me on a team real soon," Cribbs said Monday.
You can ask Josh questions each Monday at 7 a.m. on "DAWGS on the run," a Browns mobilecast hosted by Andy Baskin. Call in to 216-431-3820 or Skype DAWGSontherun.

Ask Aaron Q/A: Do you recommend Gillette 7 O' Clock double edge razor blades?
Posted in Ask Aaron Q & A, Double Edge Shaving | Comments (0)
Aaron is asked a question about the merits of Gillette 7 O' Clock double edge razor blades
Victor Lord Denovan, from the UK, asks:
"Hi Aaron, I have now tried quite a number of different double edge razor blades, including Feathers, Astras, etc but never tried Gillette 7 o'clocks. I must admit that the ones mentioned above did not really impress me over the Supermax Blue Diamonds, although I realise that everyone's face is different. Do you think the 7 o'clocks are noticeably better/different? Regards, Victor."
"Lord Denovan,
I have tried several different brands of the Gillette 7′O clock brand, but to me they were not better than Feathers, which are my favorite. This just goes to show you that blades are the most personable and subjective aspect to wetshaving.
I suggest you try them, who knows, you might find one of them better than the Supermax, but if not, you know that the Supermax are the best for your particular face. It is truly a win-win situation. Let me know what you find out!
Smooth Shaving,
Do you have any burning questions you would like ask our wet shaving expert Aaron Wolfenbarger?
Called a modern Renaissance Man by many, Aaron has many interests including music, science, theology, his family, camping, backpacking, style, grooming, and of course wet-shaving. His love of wet-shaving began as a teenager when he was gifted a brush, mug, and soap set for his birthday. He can be found on many online wet-shaving and men's forums and on Twitter as @KiltedShaver.

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — A Philadelphia monsignor became Friday the highest-ranking US church official to be convicted over a child sex cover-up, as he was was found guilty of endangerment.
Monsignor William Lynn, who served as secretary of the Philadelphia Archdiocese from 1994 to 2001, was acquitted of two other counts — one of conspiracy and a second charge of child endangerment.
Lynn, 61, who took the witness stand for three days during his 10-week trial, is not charged with molesting children, but rather with covering up crimes of priests who did. His sentence is due to be announced on August 13.
The trial, the first in the United States involving a senior official in the Catholic Church, also centered on two other Philadelphia priests.
Reverend James Brennan stands accused of sexually abusing boys in the 1990s, while defrocked priest Edward Avery pleaded guilty on the eve of trial. Avery was sentenced to between 2.5 and five years in prison.
The jury was hung over the charges dealing with Brennan, saying the jurors did not fully understand them.
"We needed clarity on how to apply the evidence. We needed to learn how to apply the elements of the charges," jury foreman Isa Logan said. "Every juror wanted justice. We just wanted to do what was right."
Lynn was found not guilty of endangering Brennan's accuser and not guilty of conspiring to endanger that accuser. He was found guilty of endangering Avery's victim and not guilty of conspiracy with regard to that victim.
"The jury's decision is not a full reckoning, but the truth is now revealed," said sex abuse trial lawyer Jeff Anderson.
"Until now, no top Catholic officials have been criminally convicted for child endangerment. It gives great hope and promise for a better future now that this precedent has been made and this truth has been revealed through the courage of so many."
Many Roman Catholics in the United States still believe that priests are sexually abusing children, said a report from a lay advisory group released last week by the nation's bishops.
The National Review Board said that, a decade after the US Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a child protection charter, there has been a "striking improvement" in the way the Church deals with the abuse of minors by clergy.
But it acknowledged: "Despite solid evidence (to the contrary), many of the faithful believe that sexual abuse by clergy is occurring at high levels and is still being covered up by bishops."

NFC - Blue and Red Chip Players
Blue = top 10 at that position Red = top 15 at that position Also, there are 6 blue chip coaches. Carolina Panthers Blue: OT Jordan Gross, WR Steve Smith, RB DeAngelo Williams, LB Jon Beason and HC John Fox Red: OT Jeff Otah and RB Jonathan Stewart My thoughts: I don't see how Jonathan Stewart isn't a top 10 RB. He has guys like Steven Jackson, Ricky Williams, and Cedric Benson ahead of him (see AFC list linked in the article). No way in this universe is Benson better than Stewart. Ryan Kalil is missing from the center position altogether. Kalil is a top 3 or 4 center easily. Chris Gamble is a top 15 corner in my opinion, as is Travelle Wharton at guard. This may be borderline, but I think Matt Moore should be considered a top 15 QB, despite his inexperience. Kalil has to be, by far, the biggest exclusion though. I think he had a brain fart on that one.

L.A. Noire Review
Reviews - Multi Platform
Written by Ryan Farrenkopf Tuesday, May 24 2011 14:30
L.A. Noire is an ambitious title from Rockstar Games and Team Bondi. It combines elements from so many genres, and brings a few into mainstream gaming. While on the surface it looks like your typical open-world Rockstar game, it is clear that this game breaks the mold. Some have even claimed that this is a huge gamble for the Developer.
So does this bet pay off, or will Rockstar and Team Bondi be left at the horse track? Read on find out.
Developer: Team Bondi
Publisher: Rockstar Games
Platform: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 (Reviewed)
Release Date: May 17th, 2011
L.A. Noire is first and foremost a game that wants to tell a story. All the sets, mechanics, gameplay, and technology that Team Bondi put into this game is there for the purpose of delivering a narrative. The story follows Cole Phelps, a WWII vet who was awarded the Silver Star for bravery. Phelps starts off as a patrolman for the LAPD, but due to his investigation skills and war record, he quickly becomes a detective and starts rising through the ranks of the LAPD. The overarching story of L.A. Noire covers Detective Phelps' rise, as well as the corruption of 1940's Los Angeles. Throughout the game, the player discovers many clues that hint at something more sinister than a simple drug deal or homicide. You know there is something bigger going on as things don't always add up, but you just can't put your finger on it. The game supplements the in-game storytelling with collectable newspapers that fill in the gaps with cut-scenes. While you won't miss out on any crucial details that prevent you from finishing the game if you fail to find them, they are important in understanding the full story.
L.A. Noire's story deals with a broad range of themes that you'd see in Post-WWII America. It isn't afraid to go into some topics that many people may stay clear from. L.A. Noire deals with issues like racism, war vets trying to reconnect with society, drugs, domestic abuse, the housing boom and adultery. Everything you'd expect to find in L.A. in 1947, but maybe not in a video game. All these themes belong here, and Team Bondi did a great job tying them all into the story.
Each case is its own self-contained story, or so it seems. Many cases wrap up with the understanding that you caught the bad guy, only for you to find out later that there was more going on. However, this is never completely out of the blue; you don't a sense the game just pulling things out of a hat or pulling a M. Night Shyamalan-style twist. Things start stacking up, and you get the sense you are missing something. It seems that for the most part, the developers were very careful to make sure it doesn't feel like the game is holding out on you. The story takes a twist about 3/4 into the main story arc, essentially sucker punching Phelps, and in essence, the player. I have to give it to Team Bondi for pulling this off in such a way that really makes the player feel it. For the remainder of the game, Phelps is determined to recover from his fall from grace.
The story's one weak point would have to be character development. While the characters themselves are strong and do grow somewhat over time, they just don't have the depth you'd expect. Rarely do you see any of the characters' personal lives until it becomes a part of the main story, making it seem a little thrown-in. Overall, the story in L.A. Noire is fleshed out, and when it all comes together it clicks. Things you may have struggled to understand before fit into place. However, the personal story for Phelps feels needlessly cut short and unfinished. It really is an unsatisfying conclusion to this character that you've grown so close to.
When it comes to gameplay, you'll spend most of your time doing three major activities; investigating, interrogating/interviews, and chasing down suspects. The rest of your time will be spent driving and exploring. It should be noted that this game is not Grand Theft Auto; exploration has taken a major back seat to the main story. While the game does allow and even encourage exploration, it is clearly not the main goal. The city of L.A. is not very interactive, and there is very little to do other than find some hidden cars and landmarks. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; this lack of exploration keeps L.A. Noire focused on what it's supposed to be: a detective game. It's a focused story that pulls you in, and let's be honest, running around shooting random people would pull the player out of that in a heart beat.
Investigating is the backbone on L.A. Noire. Entire missions hinge on being a thorough investigator. As Detective Phelps, you have to comb through the crime scene looking for any small clues that might make the case. Fortunately, this is not as tedious as it sounds. L.A. Noire uses audio and force feedback to let the player know when they are near a clue. But don't worry, if you are someone who wants to do all the leg work yourself, then this can be turned off. Once you find a clue, it must be examined further to find more important details. This is all done in-game, with no inventory screen to pull you away from the immersion. The clues you find will then lead you to a new location or person of interest. This system works well and is quite enjoyable, and fans of classic point and click games will feel right at home. While investigating, you have to be very careful not to overlook anything vital as missing a clue can lead to getting the wrong person in the end.
The second big gameplay mechanic is the interrogation (or interview) feature. Once you have evidence, you can go and interview witnesses and suspects about the case. This is when L.A. Noire's most unique feature comes into play; the MotionScan Technology. This is what allows the characters to have such amazing facial expressions. This is because you are watching the performance of the actor on the character, not just some animation. This comes into play because you need to actually read their faces to see if they are telling the truth, withholding some information, or just flat out lying to you. During these interviews you are given a list of questions to ask the individual based on the evidence you find, with some appearing as follow up questions if you got the right answer. Once they've answered your question, you can choose to believe the individual, doubt them, or accuse them of lying. However, if you accuse them of lying you are required to back that up with evidence. If you don't have the evidence, then you can always doubt them. Getting these questions wrong prevents you from getting the information you want. Sometimes it's something crucial like a confession, while other times it's not as important to get right, so you can continue on the case. In fact, most times it's the latter example, as there are usually a few ways to reach the "happy" ending for each case.
After you've investigated or interviewed someone, the next big thing is chasing down the bad guys. You do this a lot in L.A. Noire, as it seems everybody runs. But why would you want it any other way. You'll get into many foot chases and shoot outs, and what 1940's detective drama would be complete without car chases? Gameplay wise, these action sequences work like other Rockstar titles. Shooting is pretty straightforward, though actually scaled down somewhat from games like GTA IV. For example, you can't collect multiple weapons, and weapon pick-ups can only happen when a fallen enemy drops one. Unlike your trusty pistol, these weapons feature limited ammo, though the game doesn't indicate how much. This isn't as much of a problem as it sounds, as shootouts aren't all that long. Also, not everything ends in a shootout; sometimes you have to use some good old-fashioned leg work in the form of on-foot chases. These are as simple as it sounds, chase the perp until you get close enough to spam "A" (or "X" on the PS3) and tackle them. Occasionally they'll get cornered, or you could even shoot them. What is nice about these chases is that the general public will point it out if they see the perp run by, which is a nice little touch. I will say this; apparently everyone was in shape in the 1940's (including old, fat people), as they can all scale fences, run long distances, and climb pipes without losing their breath.
Last but not least are the car chases. These are exactly what you'd expect: fast-paced (well fast for 1947 at least) chases through the streets of L.A., with your partner shooting and you trying to knock the car off the road. Sometimes you can take out the driver before the scripted end of a mission, but most times that's not the case. To be honest, I find it more entertaining to watch the perp's car get t-boned by a fast-moving trolley.
There is one other type of game mechanic that occurs much less frequently, and thank god it does. Trailing people is necessary in police work, but that doesn't make it fun. Driving carefully, staying out of sight (but not too far away), and being incognito are all staples of these trailing missions. These missions can almost bring the game to a halt, as you just end up trying to figure out the magic distance you must remain from the perp. It's not terrible, just not enjoyable.
The action isn't reserved for the main story, however. If you'd like to take a break from investigating or interrogating, all you need to do is keep an ear out for one of the 40 street crimes occurring throughout the city. Street crimes are all action, and provide a nice break from the main story. However, just be careful not to take a call when you are in a hurry get the next location, as it can have some repercussions on the case. Luckily, this rarely happens.
If you are not doing any of the above, then you are most likely just driving around. Lots of driving is what you expect from Rockstar titles. It's easy enough to learn and master, but you WILL crash a lot. Unlike GTA, though, you'll rarely run any one down. Pedestrians jump out of the way, sometimes a little prematurely. Using your siren will make life a little easier, but there will still be some cars that just refuse to get out of the way. Team Bondi clearly took the most liberty with driving when trying to create a realistic recreation of 1940's L.A. But for the sake of fun gameplay, it seems like a necessity as most people don't want to worry about traffic laws in a video game.
L.A. Noire is a massive game, and Team Bondi has done an amazing job bringing Post-War L.A. to life. Eight square miles is a lot of ground to cover, and they did it beautifully. From the landmarks to the post-war construction boom, it really feels just like it should. The only problem with all this beautifully recreated real estate is that the game doesn't encourage open exploring. The world is open, but closed at the same time. This is mainly due to the fact that until you beat the game, you are always involved in a mission. While you can always take a break from a mission when it's not crucial, you just don't feel encouraged to. And even when you do get to explore, there isn't a whole lot to do other than look at landmarks. All this being said, it isn't necessarily a bad thing. The streets of L.A. are more of a set piece than a character; it's there to support the story. You don't necessarily feel robbed, but it just would be nice to be able to buy some ice cream from one of the street vendors or something to that effect.
When the first video of L.A. Noire surfaced back in 2006, it was very stylized with harsh lighting and dark shadows. However, that is not the game we have today. L.A. Noire's visual approach is realistically pulling off the look of 1947. If you are looking for something a little more noire, then you do have the option to play the game in black and white. Personally, I enjoy the colors of the late 40's. Graphically, the game looks like a well-polished GTA IV. The world is highly detailed and the performance is smooth, with the frame rate rarely dropping. There were a few graphical glitches I encountered during my playthough, though it was nothing major and didn't effect gameplay. So don't worry, this isn't Red Dead Redemption.
The biggest achievement with L.A. Noire's visuals is the MotionScan technology. As I mentioned earlier, you rely very heavily on this. In fact, the entire game revolves around this piece of tech working. The bottom line is that it works beautifully, and you can clearly read every nuance of emotion on the characters' faces. MotionScan is what pulls you into the game and gets you attached. Many other games have tried to bridge the "Uncanny Valley" before, but as they get more and more realistic, we are able to pick out the one or two oddities that make it look foreign to us. With L.A. Noire, this is not the case because these faces are real, as they are the faces of the actors who portray these characters. While this tech may not be for every game, it certainly works for L.A. Noire.
L.A. Noire is a game that sets out to achieve a great deal, and for the most part it surpasses expectations. It truly is an almost perfect blend of genres, and can hopefully revive the long gone detective games of the past. The technology behind it is impressive and drives the game to a whole new realm of realism and believability, and it is only in it's infancy. While the story starts strong, it does leave you hanging with the feeling that things are unresolved. The bottom line, though, is that L.A. Noire is an amazing game, one that really anyone can enjoy. What Team Bondi and Rockstar games achieved is a masterpiece of gaming, even with room for improvement.

Oceana, a small coal mining town in Wyoming County, West Virginia, is, on the surface, like any other small town in Appalachia. An hour away from almost any major city, and with an approximate population of 1,400, it's small, close-knit and not necessarily very open to outsiders. But quietly simmering underneath the surface of this municipality, an insidious epidemic is growing; a scourge of OxyContin and prescription pills that has devastated the town and given it the unfortunate nickname of "Oxyana."
Directed by Sean Dunne (the helmer behind Emmy-nominated documentary short "The Archive" and the Insane Clown Posse Juggalos documentary "American Juggalo"), "Oxyana" is a gripping and sometimes hard-to-watch portrait of this struggling township under siege by a drug epidemic. Dispassionate in the best sense of the word, "Oxyana" is respectful to the point of being detached. Aside from some hauntingly broken down music by members of Deer Tick (which resembles the wailing violins and trudging drums of The Dirty Three), "Oxyana" almost never editorializes. The film is told almost 100% through talking-head interviews from addicts who are more than willing to share their stories.
And as sometimes customary and commonplace (even boring) as the talking-head style documentary can be, it's absolutely the correct method for these compellingly told, brutal and sobering stories. Struggling with poverty and unemployment, the town has a legacy of being exploited via its coal mines, and therefore the pill abuse -- a perfect way to keep on slogging through the backbreaking work -- is well explained. Yet somehow, Oceana went from a generation of hardscrabble coal miners using pills to get by, to a newer generation that has abused the drug to the point of death.
To this end, it's very easy to cry exploitation when telling the stories of the poor, uneducated and disadvantaged, yet Dunne and his team form a respectful and simple portrait: turning the camera on and simply letting these people share what they want to. Names are never used, no postscript of where they are at in the conclusion is employed, and the interviewers are never seen or heard. It's stark, but powerfully effective stuff.
And the stories of "Oxyana" are many different shades of unfortunate and tragic. A father and dentist laments the demise of his town, one that he won't leave because he simply cares and loves it too much despite the uptick of violence, overdoses, crime and deaths. Several addicts tell their stories with raw, open-wound vulnerability, including one couple with a withering and emaciated husband dying of brain cancer excruciatingly stuttering away as he struggles to tell his tale. One young man has a baby on the way and knows he wants to be a good father, but he cannot help but shoot oxy into his veins just to maintain an even keel. Another heavy-set, thickly-drawling 20-something has felt the consequences of the drug problem first hand and appears as if he is just waiting to die. His drug-addicted father shot and killed his younger brother and mother and he was a witness to the bodies only a few short hours later. Former addicts talk about the destitute lows they had reached -- prostitution, crime, sleeping under bridges on dirt -- and the absolute controlling power the drug has when it quickly coils and forms a bitterly hard-to-break addiction.
Parents, mothers, addicts and members of the community speak candidly and at length about how their families have been affected. The brief law enforcement section of the documentary almost feels too short, but overwhelmed with processing paperwork, it's clear they have mostly given up the fight in drug busts and can only handle major crimes.
Not for the faint of heart, several addicts shoot up on camera, and the aforementioned couple with the man dying of brain cancer is painfully difficult to watch. But what makes "Oxyana" absorbing and tolerable is its considerate non-judgmental approach. By giving each person his or her due in a simple, straightforward manner, the documentary humanizes each one of these addicts without turning them into victims. They are who they are, and their portraits and stories are presented plainly for you to make of them what you will.
"Oxyana" doesn't provide a lot of answers, but it would be dubious to assume it should. It spends time with various people, all of whom don't have a lot of hope for the region, stuck and trapped in its vicious cycle. Even worse is how the drug contagion has become an embedded part of the sleepy town's already depressed economy. With the coal mines largely abandoned, a haunted pall hangs over the town, and Dunne captures this in an eerie, yet honest fashion. Crime and violence is on the rise and several participants discuss loved ones who have disappeared and turned up as bodies months later. There's a not a lot of hope to be found.
Dunne wisely sidesteps any drama or melodrama in the movie (a Q&A after the film suggested some much uglier forms of violence took place with some of the couples near the end of the shoot, but the filmmakers decided to eschew it and stick to their portrait). Unwavering and unflinching, "Oxyana" is anguished and hard to look at. It's a pained and uncompromising look at horrors that have decimated a community, and while raw-nerved and difficult to stomach at times, Dunne's respectful ability to never look away from these harsh realities is what makes the doc so vital, powerful and striking.

I live in Oceana and I just have to say, the people that were actually in the documentary were chosen very well and for a reason. He only chose people that portrayed the image he was trying to put out there. He didn't talk to your normal, everyday townspeople. The people he talked to are the people behind the scenes that you rarely actually have to interact with when you live in this town. They are a part of the town, but not the whole town. I have lived all over the country and the drug problem here is no worse than it is anywhere else. My family founded this town, and it really irritates me that he only chose to show one side of it. A documentary about an entire town should show the whole picture of that town, not just one little piece of it. I also was irritated with the statement about the police. I have family and friends that are police officers. It's not that they have given up trying to fight drugs, the problem is that the laws aren't on the side of the police. It's not against the law to abuse your own drugs. As long as the prescription is in your name, you can take it in any way that you want to and there isn't anything the police can do about it. It doesn't matter if the police know you are a druggie, if they don't see you themselves in the act of buying or using drugs and have proof of it, they can't do anything about it. These laws affect the entire state, not just our town. I think someone needs to come in here and do a documentary and do it right by looking at the whole town. Not to mention, he completely ripped off the name "Oxyana". MTV did a documentary years ago that had Oceana in it they called us Oxyana. Wouldn't have killed him to be a little original.

I thought your comment about talking heads being frequently boring was interesting (even though you say that this film uses them very well). I never know why film people say this. In documentary, people with stories are the whole reason we make films. We want to hear from these people and hearing them allows us to emotionally connect with them. I know there is a movement away from using talking heads, but that seems to be only in the service of breaking a convention. What we're losing when we don't connect with real, live people on camera is frequently the emotional heart of the story. This film is a great example why talking heads are not just "talking." They're sharing the depths of their souls.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Dozens of firefighters battled three separate grass fires in Floyd, Lamb, and Hale Counties. Updated totals Thursday morning show the fires burned more than four thousand acres. Fortunately, no homes were damaged.
The lack of moisture and dry conditions continue to pose a threat for more wild-fires across the South Plains.
The national weather service advises residents to be cautious. They recommend keeping your grass cut low and keeping firewood away from the perimeter of your home. They also say you should water the grass and plants around your home.
Jody James, with the weather service, says he expects multiple red flag warnings to be issued this winter.
"Were not seeing a lot of moisture- not a lot of precipitation, this could be an ongoing problem," Said Jody James."So were bracing here at the NWS for a long period of dry weather lots of red flag warnings, lots of potential for days with grass fires."
Several counties in the surrounding area are already under burn bans. The weather service says it's likely that Lubbock County will be placed under a burn ban this winter as well.

Dig up your drive
I don't have a hope of digging up my drive. It's solid concrete and fit for purpose, and a layer of gravel will make it reasonably attractive too. However, my patio is neither attractive nor practical. When it rains water pools on it, and the whole thing gently slopes towards the house so when it rains properly (and for the last few days it has REALLY rained) the rear of the house gets pretty wet.
The problem is made worse because the gutter drains into the water butt, which constantly overflows, and the rear of the house faces north so the sun doesn't reach it in winter (though it does in summer because all the surrounding buildings are very low).
What we need, therefore, is to break the solid surface so that water can drain down into the ground below. To this end, we are going to dig up the patio and re-lay at least half of it, taking inspiration from checkerboard patios such as this:
The aspect of the above garden is very different so we can't use the same plants. However, there are some plants I have already that should be suitable:
Christmas box (Sarcococca) is tolerant of shade and likes moist, well drained soil, so our damp sand should be perfect. It grows to 80cm so will go either side of the door near the house.
Strawberries are low, spread quickly, and do surprisingly well in shade. I find the ones near the fence in our garden do much better than those in full sun. These also won't like to be stepped on so will go near the edges.
Chives are shade-tolerant and I have gazillions of them so they will get a square.
Forget-me-not may as well be a weed, covers ground rapidly and retains a low level except when in flower. Again, one for the edges.
I have some magic carpet thyme seeds, which I bought for the front garden to go in with the gravel. They will be good towards the northernmost edge of the patio where it gets more sun. Probably in next to the border.
For the centre of the patio and especially the bits nearer the house, I'm going to plant mind-your-own-business. Some say it's a weed, but it's a quick-spreading shade-tolerant weed so perfect for this situation.
For the other gaps I'm going to sow white clover, which is already abundant in the lawn, is shade tolerant, beloved of bees and happy to be walked on.
The corners nearest the flower bed can be used to extend the bed itself. Foxgloves can go in near next door's house, and perhaps hollyhocks and verbenas near the bed.
I've also got a fairly low level geranium that has small pink flowers and likes shade and some allium seeds to sow.
The aim is for it to drain naturally, look pretty, encourage wildlife and yet still be suitable for a table and chairs and some foot traffic. Hopefully a version of the above will fit the bill and as soon as the interior is finished, it's time to get the crowbar and spade out. Needless to say, it will spur me on to get the painting done…4 years ago • 0 notes

Face flies are one of the most difficult pasture pests to control because they are on animals for just a short time and land mainly on the face.
Face flies use an abrasive sponging mouthpart to stimulate tear flow from the eyes. These flies lap up the protein rich secretions from the eye as well as nasal discharges, saliva, or blood oozing from wounds.
The face fly is mostly off of animals, resting on plants, fence posts, or other objects. A good control program should keep face fly numbers below 10 per head.
According to a Gallup poll, more than 75 percent of Americans say that religion is losing its' influential ground in our society.
On the other hand, we live in a nation where we have well over 300,000 congregations that identify themselves as Christian and over 75 percent of Americans who identify themselves as Christian.
How do we explain this?
The answer is that the secularization of society is happening at a break-neck pace. Massive moral shifts are taking place as the world views of our friends and neighbors become increasingly irreligious.
If you have done any length of research on raising the minimum wage, you know there are two sides to the argument.
You could argue either way, but there is, in my opinion, compelling data for the need for wage reform.
First of all, the last time there was a minimum wage increase was nearly three years ago to the current $7.25 or around $15,000 annually.
Who do you know that can make it on $15,000 a year? Consider a Gallup poll that noted in 2012 Americans spend around $151 a week on food alone.
The welcomed warming temperatures of spring and early summer are a relief from the cold winter temperatures of 2013-14.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map for Kentucky places most of the state in Zone 6 (–10 degrees to 0 degrees).
The far western counties are in Zone 7a (0 degrees to 5 degrees).
By this data, Kentucky was on average no colder than we have historically experienced. The visible indication of dead plants and utility bills indicated that something was different.

Town Centre Reserve Vacation Rentals(13)

Recent Town Centre Reserve Reviews
Great location, Owners VERY helpful
We had an excellent vacation. The house was just as described and fit our large extended family perfectly. We enjoyed the pool each day and night! The neighborhood was very quiet and a perfect getaway after leaving the parks each day. Amanda was excellent at communicating and went above and beyond to make sure that everything went smoothly. The small problems that did arise were taken care of promptly and were of no fault of the owners. Thank you for helping to make our trip memorable. We would definitely return!
Peace from the Theme Parks
Beautiful lakeside location, and stunning property. The owner called us from the UK to make sure everything was okay. It would have been 3.00am in the morning for him. Thank you Stuart. The management company were attentive and provided a good service. The property is a haven to come back to after a busy day at the theme parks. Very tranquil. We only wish we had more time to spend at the property.We would love to spend a holiday here, and do very little The owners description of the property is spot on. This property is highly recommended.
Time to go back home!
This was our third year staying in this wonderful home and we are returning next year for three months. The home is centrally located with easy access to all the parks and wonderful little towns and restaurants. If you feel like a day at the beach Cocoa is an hour drive and you can rent chairs and umbrellas. We have found museums, galleries and beautiful gardens to wander through. We bring our bikes as there are many places to ride. The house was cleaned and sanitized upon our arrival and we had three bathrooms to choose from all of which were cleaned and in tip top condition. The pool faces the south which gives us full sun and keeps the pool water warm. The house has plenty of room for large families with a great kitchen. Steve and Sharon from the management company are only a phone call away and very quick to respond to our needs. Thank you Stephen and thank you Sharon and Steve for another beautiful year.

There was a FanPost published earlier tonight regarding KC looking into acquiring a SS via trade, but it's been deleted/disappeared. However, now that the Royals are using their #3,#4, and #5 options at short with both Aviles and TPJ on the DL, this may be a topic worth discussing.
via shortstopbar.com
While it's safe to assume that most people expected Mike Aviles' offensive numbers to regress from last year's breakout, I'm guessing not too many people pegged him for an OPS+ of 21 and a .183/.208/.250 line as we prepare to enter June. Now, if this is entirely related to his injured wrist and he can go down to Arizona, get away from everything and fix himself in a few weeks, then the notion of looking to trade for a SS may be meaningless. However, what if the wrist problem lingers? What if the wrist heals but the horrific plate mechanics keep resulting in horrific results? Last year, the Royals were out of the race early. It appears that they may be able to stay in the thick of the AL Central this year. Can we afford to run TPJ/Hernandez/Bloomy/Hulett/crappy version of Aviles out there at SS for a team that will be prone to offensive struggles all year long? Or should we look at other options? I think we all know what we'll get with TPJ/Hernandez--average to above-average fielding but little to no offense. Hulett has put up solid AAA numbers, but then again, so has Shane Costa. Hulett has also primarily been a 2B, so it's unknown if he can handle (or will be asked to play) SS. Bloomquist has been a pleasant surprise through the first 40+ games of the season, but can we reasonably expect his production to continue? Can he be a legitimate SS if he has to play there for an extended period of time?
Here are a few names that have been thrown around as players who may be shopped by their respective clubs. By no means is this an all-inclusive list--it's just a few names I've read about being available now that a few teams (KC, Boston, NY Mets are hurting at SS due to injuries). It's a mix of quick fixes, reclamation projects, buy-low candidates, etc. (Also known as former 1st rounders, All-Stars, Rookies of the Year, and Gold Glovers.)
Khalil Greene, Saint Louis Cardinals, 2009 Salary: $6.5M
The Boston Globe reported earlier this week that STL contacted Boston about Greene. Perhaps STL GM John Mozeliak threw out a flyer to the Royals' brass on Sunday when the Royals were in town upon learning of Aviles' DL trip. Greene is in the final year of his contract, and STL would most likely have to eat some money to move him as he has been a disappointment. It has also been reported that he is dealing with severe anxiety. STL hasn't started him since May 17 because of this, mainly using him as a pinch-hitter while he struggles to recover. I'd doubt that NY and Boston are two towns that would be beneficial for a person struggling with anxiety issues.
He's an interesting case, as he is a first round talent (13th pick) who has battled injuries for much of his career. He came up with a reputation of a defensive wizard, but some stats have shown his defense has declined the last few years. Playing in San Diego has also not done good things to his offensive numbers, which led to speculation that he would break out this year now that he's finally out of SD.
Possible advantages to acquiring Greene:
- Even in SD, he's put up an OPS+ of 95 or higher in four out of the last five years.
- Home vs. Away Splits--
Home: .226/.291/.365
Away: .266/.315/.478
- He gets better as the season progresses. His best months of the season are the season's final months. If KC is playing meaningful baseball as the season winds down, he could be a benefit.
- He's still just 29, and his stock can't get much lower. It seems to me that he's got a higher ceiling as a player than any of our current SS options. The prototypical "buy low" candidate.
- With the obvious parallel to Greinke's anxiety issues, perhaps our organization could help fix him mentally, leading to better physical results. Maybe that would engender feelings of signing here in the off-season (in a best-case scenario). Worst case scenario is that you took a flyer on him, it didn't work out, and he goes elsewhere after the season as a free agent.
As for his defense, here is an excerpt from a Fangraphs article about him from this offseason:
So what do we make of Greene's defense?
Well, his +/- ratings from 2006 to 2008 go from +13 to +7 to -4. If each year was considered an isoloated result, we'd conclude that two years ago Greene was one of the game's best defenders at the toughest position to field but had fallen off substantially since then, to the point of being below average now.
Was Greene a terrific fielder who has since deteriorated to the point of being a minor liability? Maybe, but because of the variance in single year metrics, we certainly can't state that with any kind of confidence. However, if we view each year as a data point, we'd find that the mean of his defensive value over the last three years is between +0 and +5, depending on how much weight you give to the most recent data points. Because of the larger sample, we can state with significantly more confidence that Greene was something like a +0 to +5 defender over the past three years, which would allow us to make a pretty decent projection for what he'll do going forward.
As with all projections, a multi-year weighted collection of data will be more accurate than if you simply use the past year's results and take them as the gospel truth. Every projection system worth it's salt incorporates regression over several years to determine future output, and with Greene, that's exactly what we have to do with the defensive data. The -4 rating from 2008 is a data point, but whether it represented an actual decline in his ability or not, we just don't know. There's too much noise in the data to support that kind of claim.
So, Cardinals fans should expect Greene to be something like a league average defensive shortstop or maybe a tick above. Toss in enough gap power to overcome his low OBP, and St. Louis just picked up a +2 win player for 2009. Considering his salary only values him at just over 1.25 wins, the Cardinals are getting a bargain for their money. Unless the PTBNL in the day is a significant prospect, we'd have to call this a good move for St. Louis - even with Greene's -4 +/- score from 2008.
Felipe Lopez, Arizona Diamondbacks, 2009 Salary: $3.5M
Lopez (another first round talent) has seemingly turned on the proverbial switch after being released by Washington and signed by the Cardinals in the middle of last season. Perhaps playing for the Nationals will do that to a person. Anyway, Lopez (a Boras client) is also 29 years old. He signed a 1 year, $3.5M deal going into this season with Arizona to compete for their 2B job with Augie Ojeda. It turns out he has been one of their most valuable positional players (along with Reynolds and Upton). He has quite a bit of major league experience at SS, but his defense has always been a liability no matter his position. He would not be a guy to acquire for his defensive prowess. Also, he's likely benefitting from playing home games in AZ (current .933 Home OPS), and his BABIP is even higher than 2008 Aviles territory at .370. He would likely demand a higher price tag than Greene.
Possible advantages to acquiring Lopez:
- He's currently sporting a WAR of 1.4, good for 7th among all MLB 2B (tied with Brian Roberts, Brandon Phillips, Robby Cano, Asdrubal Cabrera). He'd most likely be the best offensive option among the possible SS trade candidates.
- Another player with an expiring contract, so KC would not be tying up any future finances if they don't feel like he's a long-term option.
- A switch-hitter, which would allow for more lineup flexibility in the lower half of the lineup (he could also hit leadoff/2nd if needed).
- Also has better numbers in the 2nd half compared to the first:
First Half: .255/.324/.388
Second Half: .278/.344/.415
- Arizona is already 10.5 games back in the NL West, meaning they'll likely be looking to deal some of their more attractive commodities. Conversely, the entire American League is within 9 games of its respective division leaders.
Keith Law had this to say about his signing in the off-season:
You wouldn't know it from his stat lines, but Lopez has good raw tools. He can run, albeit not quite as well as he did before he started putting on weight; he has at least average raw power; he has good bat speed; and once upon a time he was a rangy shortstop with a good arm. He's lost much of this to indolence, seldom putting forth the effort required to convert his tools into performance outside of his one outstanding year in 2005. His midseason release in 2008 seemed to be a wake-up call, which, combined with some extraordinary luck, led to the best 169 plate appearances of his career. He's capable of sustaining some parts of that surge, and a .275/.350/.420 season with average defense at second base and value on the bases is within reach if he shows up in shape and sustains his effort level all season. That would make him an above-average second baseman at a below-average salary, and he could easily slug .450 or more given his raw power and the homer-friendly ballpark in Phoenix.
Bobby Crosby, Oakland Athletics, 2009 Salary: $5.25 M
Talk about buying low. Remember when Peter Gammons said he would be an MVP candidate in the AL after he was 2004 AL Rookie of the Year. Ugh. Anyway, he's another former first rounder who is in the final year of his contract. He's also 29, and has also battled injuries for the majority of his career. He requested a trade in the spring when he saw he wasn't going to get much playing time after Oakland signed Orlando Cabrera. He's played a little bit of everything so far this year (mainly 3B now that Chavez is hurt again--shocking, I know), and it's been predictably bad yet again from Crosby. His career line isn't too far off from the career of Khalil Greene, so maybe you'd think he would be suffering from playing in cavernous Oakland Alameda County Colleseum. However, that's not the case, as his splits show better home numbers vs. road numbers. He also has traditionally performed better in the first half of the season.
Career lines:
Greene: .246/.303/.423 OPS+ of 94
Crosby: .238/.307/.376 OPS+ of 82
Possible advantages of acquiring Crosby:
- Best defender (per UZR) of the options listed here
- Oakland would eat salary and not require much in return. Every MLB team passed on Crosby when he went through waivers with his current salary.
- ...ummm, I'm struggling for reasons here....probably the most 'gritty' of the bunch?
Orlando Cabrera, Oakland Athletics, 2009 Salary: $4M (4.25 if he gets traded)
Cabrera is the most experienced (34 years old) and probably the most well-recongnized name on the list of possible SS options. There were a lot of "please don't sign Cabrera" opinions floating around here this past off-season (of which I was one), but he may be put on the block if Beane feels that Oakland falls too far out of contention. His .241/.284/.300 line he's currently sporting is not going to up that price tag any, either. He's got a clause in his contract that his team will not offer arbitration to him after the season if he qualifies as a Type A free agent, meaning they wouldn't receive compensation if he signs elsewhere (I think). I don't know if this agreement is triggered if he qualifies as a Type B free agent, however.
Possible advantages:
- Would come cheap & an expiring contract
- His best OPS months are August and Sept/Oct
- Has been consistently in between 2.7-3.8 WAR the last four years
- Positive defender for his career.
- Could possibly receive compensation if he is a Type B FA.
Other SS named in trade rumors: Jack Wilson (PIT), Yuniesky Betancourt (SEA)
There were rumors these guys would be traded for each other. Betancourt is still under contract until 2011 (with a 2012 buyout). He is not an option. Wilson is in the final year of his deal, but at a hefty price ($6.2 M for the rest of this year plus next year's buyout). He is also unlikely as an option.
....so there you have it. I'm getting tired, so my profiles got less substantial as I went, but that's a quick rundown of a few guys who may be available via trade. I don't see the Royals jumping to make a deal for any of them immediately, but if they internally worry more about Aviles than they're letting on, it wouldn't completely shock me to see them reach out and acquire someone--especially if they hang around in the Central. Obviously Felipe Lopez is playing the best right now of these options, and would probably be #1 on my list....but what do you think? I'd love to see Mike Aviles come back in two weeks and fall back into 2008 form, but I just don't have a lot of confidence in that happening right now. What would you do as GM?

The UFC will travel back to Asia at least twice more in 2014 according to UFC executive Mark Fischer. During the post-fight press conference for the TUF China Finale, he stated that the promotion would a stage 'Fight Night' event in Macau in August, and they'd return to Japan with a 'Fight Night' event in September:
"Based on the success of our first event in Macau and tonight, we can confirm we are going to be be back here in August. We're holding the date of August 23rd with an even bigger event. I don't know if we can top this, but we're certainly going to try. And we'll return to Japan on September 20th with a major event."
The August date in Macau will be the UFC's third trip there - before today's event, they previously held a UFC on Fuel card there in 2012 that saw Cung Le knock out Rich Franklin in the main event. They have ran shows in Japan in each of the last two years as well, with a PPV in 2012 and a Fight Night event in 2013.
No fights were announced for either card. The main event of the TUF China Finale saw Dong Hyun Kim knock out John Hathaway with a spinning elbow in the third round.

or all, of the following subjects can be incorporated into your next training
seminar - and during the online booking process, you have the ability to choose
the exact subjects you would like either emphasised or included in
the presentation:
- Craig Townsend
Beginning his working life as a tennis coach in 1980, Craig began researching and experimenting with various methods of tapping the mind's potential, combining the subjects of hypnosis, auto and hetero-suggestion, deep relaxation, personal development, meditation, visualization, motivation, NLP, the Silva Method, positive thinking, psychology, mind/body medicine, Zen and other eastern philosophies to create a highly effective mental training programme which delivers impressive results.
Deciding to move from tennis coaching, he completed a Diploma in Travel and Tourism in 1988, and began working with Qantas Jetabout in North Sydney in the Reservations area, where he set their annual sales record in his first year. Realising that his career path was destined for the motivational area, Craig left the travel industry and began his own mental training and motivational business - his vast knowledge has led him to lecture across a broad cross-section of the community - business, sport and private practice.
Craig lectures to major corporations in Australia such as Fujitsu and The Institute of Chartered Accountants, and was the closing speaker for the 4 day Annual Meeting for the Comverse Network Systems (World Group) in Phuket, Thailand. He also worked with National and international athletes and coaches, The Royal Sydney Golf Club, the NSW State Swim Teams, the Australian Swim Coaches and Teachers Association, and even with cancer patients at major hospitals.
In 1997 he achieved a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy at the NSW School of Hypnotic Science and went on to create a vast array of mental training programs and products. Studying internet marketing and teaching himself website-building skills, he has created his own empire of websites through which he markets his products all over the world, through websites such as rat exterminator SwimPsychology.com, seo chicago TriathlonPsychology.com, rat exterminator and of course, CorporateSpeaking.com.
His articles have appeared in 5 editions of the official Journal of the Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association in 2002, and also in several editions of the Italian swimming magazine Nuotare Magazine. Craig was commissioned to write 2 complete modules of an international swimming and leisure qualification created by US aquatic research company Poseidon Tech, which is to be used by many of the major world leisure and swimming organizations.
Craig speaks passionately in a vibrant and refreshing manner, passing on his methods of transformation to those who seek greater achievement and fulfillment in their lives.
Speaking Style
Craig has a unique ability to motivate, inspire and inform simultaneously.
