I love this eye shadow palette. The colors range from soft to bold but all are very blend-able.

I love the soft colors. They look the same on as you as they do in the pack. The first day I got it I wore I went to a family party and every one commented on nice and rested I looked. I had spent the day cleaning house. I was really tired! Josie, it had to be the make-up. It goes on really easy and blends well also. LOVE IT!

UFO Cases
|George Noory
|Open Lines, Peter Davenport, Kenny Young, Donnie Blessing
The first half of Friday's show featured Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center(1) who brought on two representatives from MUFON, Kenny Young (website(2)) and Donnie Blessing, to discuss a recent case that took place in Morehead, Kentucky.
Young said he tracked down a witness to the event, a psychologist, who told him he saw a white oval-shaped light in the sky that was flying erratically. He and his two sons witnessed the craft descending on a field across from their house, where it appeared to turn "blood red," in color and grow in size, before it "shot off like a dart" to the west. Dogs throughout the neighborhood began barking furiously during the descent, he said.
Then, shortly after this incident, they heard "blood curdling" screams of a woman coming from the field, calling out "help me," and "oh my God." Young played a tape of a separate witness making a 911 call reporting the screams. The local Police and Fire Dept. searched the area, but did not find any trace of the woman. More details of this case are posted on this page(3) from Kenny Young's site.

Friday Night Feature
This week, we present the first subject of our new Entities Gallery which combines accounts of strange beings with drawings made by the witnesses. The first tale comes from Carolyn K.:
Back in 1966, my brother and I, ages 8 and 9 years old at the time, were camping with our father at a lakein California called Cachuma Lake. This lake is located in the mountains above Santa Barbara.
We both (without our father) got up pre-dawn one morning and walked to our favorite fishing spot andsettled in for a morning of fishing. There were no other people in the area at this point (around 5:30 a.m.)We were sitting, relaxed and waiting for fish when something caught my eye over by a huge, old oak tree.
I looked at my brother who was also staring at this "being" who, in turn, was staring at us. It wasprobably about 40 feet from us sitting on the ground next to the oak tree. Its appearance was strange.My brother and I had a sense that it was sort of human and sort of animal (perhaps.) We had neverseen anything like this before. It looked like a small man, about 3.5 feet in height with tan skin, darkeyes and very small Asian features. There was beige colored fur surrounding the face and it remindedme of an Eskimo's fur parka. I could not distinguish if the fur was part of the body or whether the beingwas actually wearing some sort of coat. We were very cautious and little afraid because we were in asecluded area of the lake shore and there were no other people around.
We had a staring contest with it for about 10 minutes. It then started motioning to us with its finger to come over to it and beganuttering sounds/words that we could not understand. Finally, our curiosity overcame us and weslowly walked over to it. As we got closer we were becoming more nervous. It never made anythreatening gestures to us. Our fear came from us not know what we were looking at.
We then found ourselves within 5 feet of it and then heard someone honking their car horn. We turned around to see a car winding down the road to the inlet where we were fishing. When weturned back to look at the "being" it had just vanished. There were dead, dry leaves covering theground so if it had run off, we would have heard it. The oak tree did not have many leaves so wewould have been able to see the "being" if it had climbed up into the tree. It really did just vanish.
I have included a very rough drawing (best I could do) of what it looked like. Click here to view. My brother and I are now 44 and 45 years of age and we still remember the encounter to this day. I often wonder what mighthave happened if other people hadn't arrived on the scene when they did.

The UFC is struggling to find a top opponent for Khabib Nurmagomedov, the undefeated 25-year-old from Dagestan who's already racked up five straight wins in the Octagon. They wanted former Strikeforce champ Gilbert Melendez, but that didn't work out.
Dana White claimed that Melendez' teammate at Cesar Gracie BJJ, Nate Diaz had turned down the fight. Nate had to take to Twitter to respond:
@danawhite @ufc are full of shit I didn't turn down anything ...

Ladies and Gentlemen, we now have a new sport – Sexkydiving! Talk about taking the sexual experience, literally, to new heights. According to KGET.com, the part time skydiving instructor / full-time porn star, Alex Torres (a.k.a Voodoo), filmed himself and a female companion having sex while skydiving. The skydiving sex stunt was done over Taft, a city 30 miles west-south west of Bakersfield, California.
Before he got fired by the owner, Torres was the weekend instructor at Skydive Taft skydiving school. Torres's female companion, Hope Howell, is the receptionist at the skydiving school. According to NBC, the owner of the Taft Skydive fired Torres after the news of the skydiving sex incident, but he hasn't decided if he will fire the receptionist, Hope Howell (interesting!).
The video shows, Torres and Howell getting into a small plane, while wearing nothing but the skydiving gear, all ready for the skydiving sex session. The couple engaged in the dirty deed from the moment they got on the plane, and they continued during the sky dive until they reached the ground in the parachute. As it appears in the video, Torres filmed the skydiving sex experience, with a camera mounted on his hand. There also appears to be at least one other camera capturing the incident, by another skydiver. Torres initially posted the explicit video on his blog, but it was later removed. There are still a few sites on the web that have direct link to the uncensored version of the video (18+).
According to KGET.com, they decided to video tape the skydiving sex stunt early in the morning so no one could complaint about public nudity or disturbance.
What are authorities saying about the skydiving sex stunt?
Both Police and FAA are investigating the skydiving sex incident. According to a report from The Sacramento Bee, "FAA spokesman Ian Gregor says any activity that could distract the pilot while he's flying could be a violation of federal regulations." As it appears, police is not pressing any charges since have sex in the place is technically legal. The authorities are debating whether the pilot of the plane should receive any disciplinary actions by somewhat participating in the skydiving sex stunt.

Katherine Soniat's fifth collection of poetry, The Swing Girl, was recently published by Louisiana State University Press and selected as Best Collection of 2011 by the Poetry Council of North Carolina. A Raft, A Boat, A Bridge is forthcoming from Dream Horse Press in 2012. New work appears in Women's Review of Books, Antioch Review, and Image: Art, Faith, and Mystery.
In the mine, a man's eyes belong to the panther. Wariness
in a circle of black.
Something with teeth marks him as feline
designed to tunnel for life. An energy with talons straps the lamp
on a poor man's head, then drives him down on an empty belly.
An old surgery, these men who try to cut veins and breathe
air inside a mountain.
Rag-heap-of-flies sits up in the hut, rubs its eyes. It's a boy.
One day his thoughts may catch fire and brighten, until
he wants more
than the family pig at the door,
garbage-slide down to the highway.
Rainbow flags blow from the market stalls stacked with sacks
of coca leaves. Not a ceremonious chew but enough to dull
the hungry belly.
Leaves at the bottom of a cup tell of children
who flicker and go out on the slopes. while the miners go under.

Friend of Three Percent, Lisa Hayden Espenschade, who runs the incredible Russian literature blog Lizok's Bookshelf posted the shortlist for the über-prestigious Big Book (Bol'shaya Kniga) Prize. Big Book is one of the "big three" Russian literary prizes, along with the Russian Booker and the National Bestseller (or NatsBest).
Our old Open Letter pal Mikhail Shishkin won the Big Book last year for his Letter-Book (Pis'movnik), with Vladimir Sorokin's The Blizzard (Metel') coming in second and Dmitry Bykov's Ostromov, or the Sorcerer's Apprentice (Ostromov, ili Uchenik charodeya) coming in third. The Big Book Prize fund distributes 6.1 million rubles (~$183k) annually among the first, second, and third prize winners, and is sponsored by a number of Russian businesses and banks along with the Russian Ministries of Culture and Print, Media and Mass Broadcasting.
There will be a Big Book Prize presentation event at Book Expo American next Thursday at 10am featuring past winners Mikhail Shishkin, Dmitry Bykov, Vladimir Makanin, Pavel Basinsky, and, supposedly, the Big Book finalists:The way the wording on Read Russia's website describes the event ("Big Book Prize: Presentation of the Big Book Prize, Russia's most prestigious literary award, plus a "Meet and Greet" with prize winners."), I still can't tell if they are really planning on announcing the 2012 Big Book winner at BEA, which would be awesome, or if they were just trying to present to an American audience the idea of the Big Book Award and will make the announcement for the prize winner in November, as stated in Russian media reports.
The shortlist features a number of readers whom neither I nor Lisa have read, both of us are only familiar with Prilepin's Black Monkey, so we have a lot to catch up on before the prizewinner is (allegedly) announced in November! Without any further ado, here is the shortlist, in English no less (!), with transliteration and translation provided by Lisa herself.
A huge thanks to Lisa for her tireless work in alerting English readers to what's going on in the world of Russian literature. Check out her posts for reviews and insider tips on what's going on in the world of Russian literature, and I hope to meet her at BEA next week!
Next week, Book Expo America, "North America's premier meeting of book trade professionals," will take over the Javits Center in NYC. This year's guest of honor at BEA is none other than RUSSIA, your humble author's area of beloved expertise, and Russia will be the focus of a TON of super-cool events/panels/readings/parties as well as the "2012 Global Markets Forum" (aka: the business of books in and out of Russia, including my favorite Russian indie publisher, Ad Marginem Press!) all between June 2-7 as part of BEA's READ RUSSIA 2012 initiative.
According to the fine folks at READ RUSSIA: "Russia's 4,000-square-foot BEA exhibition space at the Javits Center will host presentations for industry professionals on the Russian book market, Russian literature in translation, and new works by Russian writers, publishers, historians, and journalists."
Open Letter's own Mikhail Shishkin, whose incredible English-language debut, Maidenhair, comes out October 13, will be one of the many contemporary Russian writers present at BEA. He's part of a panel at 4:30 on Wednesday with Andrei Gelasimov, and will sit in on the presentation of the "Big Book" (Bol'shaya Kniga) Award Thursday at 10am.
Shishkin will also be doing a discussion with translator-extraordinaire Marian Schwartz and Open Letter publishing wizard Chad Post, hosted by The Bridge Series at McNally Jackson Books in SoHo on Thursday night at 7pm. So come and hang out with the Open Letter family at any of these awesome events and meet Shishkin, who is, from all accounts, a hilarious and awesome dude who speaks highly fluent English, so you don't have to suffer through one of those awkward translator-trying-to-make-jokes-work moments. The good times will fly free.
Also, check out this bad boy under the Russian "Writers at BEA: Featured Writers" section:
Look familiar? Oh yeah, that's not Mikhail Shishikin, nor is it Zakhar Prilepin, Dmitry Bykov, or any of the contemporary writers who will actually be at BEA, it's our old friend Aleksandr Pushkin, who of course died 200 years ago, and who will only be present at BEA in the form of a tattooed portrait on my arm, but whose birthday we will allllll be celebrating on Wednesday in "true Russian fashion" (you can guess what that means)!
But READ RUSSIA is a killer endeavor, filling the streets of NYC with some of the greatest living Russian writers (especially Shishkin and the mustachio'd Bykov and the intensity-in-ten-cities Prilepin, but I really really wish Mikhail Elizarov were there!), and giving the publishing world a much-needed glimpse into the Russia beyond the classics and outside of the overtly political commentary in Western media and literature about the country.
Check out a full list of READ RUSSIA events all over NYC here or a list of all Russian-related events at BEA here.

- Great sea food in NYCOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/25/2014Marea is one of those spectacular sea food restaurants, and it's affordable for lunch (of course for a restaurant of its type - around $50 per person). I strongly recommend it for everyone that loves sea food, fish and a really good food.Special Features:
- Rather DisappointingcaliforniafoodiesVIPDined on 8/24/2014With it being ranked so high on the world list of restaurants, I expected more. Our wait person was the highlight of the meal. The pastas and fish were very average. Yet, the dining room was packed--which made it a constant scurry of people back and forth. At one point in the evening, a round table top and two chairs were carried overhead, past dinners, out of the dining room. No a very classy move.
- Fine DiningdanngeralynDined on 8/23/2014This is THE place my wife took me to for my birthday a couple of years ago, and this year where I took her for hers. We don't live in NY, but we love coming here after a play on a special occasion. The food and service are outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellence and value at NYC's #3wriskitDined on 8/23/2014Our first time but not our last time. Our 50th wedding anniversary celebration dinner was a total success. Every dish was fabulous but the charred octopus appetizer was in a class by itself and as part of a four course dinner for $99 in NYC's #3 restaurant (amazing). The pasta with clams was superb, the sea bass perfection, the dessert a final touch. My wife's ala carte crispy oyster app and poached 2-inch high snowy white halibut main were equally delicious. The bottle of dry Italian sparkling wine a worthy accompaniment to each dish. With decor, ambiance, service and advice of the highest calibre, this was a meal to remember forever.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special for Special OccasionsWestchesterGlennDined on 8/23/2014Very fine dining. Certainly more of a seafood specialty selection than Italian. Not for those looking for value or traditional selection. Amazing service and very tasty dishes. Hard not to order four course price fixed offer for $99. Lots of great food. Full wine selection. Definitely pricey but worth it for special occasionsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service!MinnieDined on 8/23/2014This was our second time to visit Marea. Since we had companies from our country Japan, my husband & I decided to take them to Marea because our first visit was just wonderful.

Thank you very much~!Special Features:

I can tell you Marea is hitting on all cylinders. From the warm welcome, to the helpful sommelier, the creative food and watchful service, my wife and I had a memorable evening. We each had the 4 course dinner. I highly recommend the lobster antipasti and the black sea bass. The background music started out a little peppy but mellowed around 8 p.m. Hope to return many times on future trips to NYC.Special Features:

Excellent sommelier and waiter.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/20/2014I treated my cousin and his son during their visit to NY and we all had the $99 prixe fixe. Every single bite of each of the 4 courses was magnificent! The seasoning was spot on and enhanced the dish and it's natural flavors. I can't decide whether this beats Jean George's in my book but I have been raving about this meal for days and can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Marea restaurantNew2newyorkDined on 8/15/2014Marea is a good place to dine before going to the theatre. It was hard to find the restaurant as it's at Columbus Circle and it appears to be in an office building. They have a great wine list, our meals were very good and the service was excellent. They feature a 4 or 5 course price fixe option but I'm not a big fan of those. Pastas are all home made, and our entrees were well portioned. They called in the morning to confirm our reservation, and asked if we needed transportation to the theatre. That was a nice touch. The prices are reasonable. I recommend Marea for a fine dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A classic beautifulOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 8/14/2014This is a restaurant of Notability. Service and seating are fantastic. Great noise level. The best service you could ever ask for. The wine list and Sommelier are extraordinary. The menu is creative and mostly inspired. The preparation of the food was good and presentation excellent. The food was definitively over salted showing a lack of attention to execution. All of the ingredients were fresh and of the highest quality. Some other examples of the execution besides over salting were the lack of crispy skin on the sea bass and the uninspired presentation of a melting three scoops of ice cream. Like I said, we had a spectacular time and have no regrets, however with service and ambience so extraordinary plz Execute betterSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Marea is great!robertbernsteinDined on 8/12/2014We have eaten at Marea twice, and both times the entire experience was a delight. The dishes are interesting and beautifully prepared. The spices are subtle and bring out the natural flavors. Portions are perfect: not too large, but more than enough. The wine list is huge and spans the spectrum of varieties and prices, but they never tried to push a more expensive wine. They also poured carefully, not trying to finish the bottle quickly and make you order another. Our waiter was very helpful, but neither condescending nor overly solicitous. Service was prompt, but we never felt rushed. The prix fixe dinner is a real bargain for this quality of dining.Special Features:

- Michael White at his BestJimboDined on 8/12/2014I have followed this chef for many years at his winning restaurants - oh, how I miss Convivio - but this was my first trip to Marea. And his take on seafood is second to none now in NYC. Wow. It lives up to the impeccable standards he has set through the years, and has built on the food and service and attention. Thank you for a wonderful lunch.Special Features:
- Pasta….basta with the saucePeltzyDined on 8/12/2014Had a lovely lunch here…well appointed dining room, excellent service and a nice wine list by the glass that allows for two people to properly pair wines with their first and second courses. The Astice (beautiful lobster and creamy burrata to die for) and Tartare (bigeye tuna), were as good as could be. Our Secondo, Strozzapreti & one with Polipo, (the pasta course) was off the mark, which is surprising, since Michael White was in the kitchen and "known" for his pasta. I saw him leave the restaurant at about 2:15pm. The Strozzapreti (crab &sea urchin) was flavorful, but both pasta dishes were a bit overcooked and over-sauced. Additionally, the octopus was tough. Pity.

The house octopus specialty was particularly worth ordering, as was the sea bass and the seafood stew. While I usually have chocolate dessert, I chose the fruit sorbets, which were outstanding. My only slight complaint was that the music was a bit too loud (not like some restaurants, but loud enough to be too noticeable).Special Features:

- Marea fell short of expectationsEstuaryDinerDined on 8/10/2014As a restaurant that has been awarded two Michelin stars I expected a lot from our visit to Marea for dinner. I chose to sample the Tasting menu, believing that the five dishes on that menu would represent the best that Marea had to offer. Of these two were outstanding and genuinely memorable, one was good and two were distinctly average. Overall I was left feeling underwhelmed by the dining experience. This feeling wasn't helped by being assigned the worst table in the restaurant which was at the focal point of waiter activity, including chairs being lifted over our table during the meal. I'm surprised that Marea has two Michelin stars. We've had better dining experiences at much better value for money in the last few weeks.Special Features:

In a recent case involving the SEC (SEC v. Welliver, Civil No. 11-CV-3076 (D. Minn. Ruling October 26, 2012), the court ruled that a party that turned over certain communications between him and his attorney, then later claimed that the communications were covered by the attorney-client privilege, had in fact waived the privilege because the delivery was intentional. The party tried to argue that the delivery was inadvertent, because the timeline given by the SEC for response to the subpoena was too short and he was rushed. The court did not agree. The court applied Federal Rules of Evidence 502, which states:
there is only a waiver if: "(1) the waiver is intentional; 2) the disclosed and undisclosed communications or information concern the same subject matter; and 3) they ought in fairness to be considered together." It goes on to provide that a disclosure is not a waiver if: "(1) the disclosure is inadvertent; 2) the holder of the privilege . . . took reasonable steps to prevent disclosure; and (3) the holder promptly took reasonable steps to rectify the error . . . "
The lesson here is to be careful when responding to an SEC subpoena, and if you need more time, ask for it. This is a further argument in favor of always hiring counsel to represent you in subpoena responses, even if you think they are routine.

There are two stores that I buy my two year old daughters clothes from, the one is Next and the other is Tesco's. I really do rate Tesco for childrens clothes, they are bright and cheerful and really reasonably priced but the best thing is they wash really well and my daughter gets lots of wear out of them. The other day I bought a lovely denim pinafore with yellow and blue flowers embroidered on it for £9.00 and two tops for £5 each and they really are lovely and at this price much bettr value than Mothercare and Adams whose clothes in my opinion are poor quality, expensive and wash badly. When I send her to nursery in Tesco's clothes I'm always asked if they are from Next and everyone is amazed when I say they are from Tesco's. My local store only has a small clothes dept so they don't do the whole range but this can be found in the Tesco Baby Direct catalogue. I have ordered before from this catalogue and have found them to be so slow. Once they cashed my cheque and then after two weeks informed me that they were out of stock and everything that has arrived has always been very late.I also love the fact that I can even order clothes over the internet.

A carton of milk is a staple in the lunchrooms of most Green Country schools.
But, as one expert tells us, may children aren't getting nutrients easily found in that old cafeteria favorite.
OSU Medical Center clinical diabetes specialist Anna Reinwand stopped by on Monday for Good Morning Oklahoma's "Lunchbox" segment.
She said kids are missing out on calcium and vitamin D.
"These nutrients are important in building strong bones, muscle function, blood clotting," Reinwand said. "We are learning a lot about vitamin D in chronic disease prevention, including diabetes, heart disease, certain types of cancer. Milk products are good sources of both of these nutrients, so making sure your children get enough milk or milk substitutes is important for their long term health."
Most types of milk, including soy and almond, are fortified with vitamin D, she said. Other good sources of calcium include almonds, leafy greens (excluding spinach), canned salmon, fortified bread and orange juice.
Reinwand offered these additional measures and tips on picking the best milk for your growing family.
How much calcium to get:
Children should get this much per day, according to the National Institute of Medicine (IOM):
• Ages 1-3: 500 milligrams (14 oz. milk)
• Ages 4-8: 800 milligrams (22 oz. milk)
• Ages 9-18: 1,300 milligrams (34 oz. milk)
Most children and adults need about 600 IU vitamin D per day. Our bodies make vitamin D when we're out in the sun. The general recommendation is 10 to 15 minutes three times per week with face, arms, and legs exposed. Of course, you'll need sunscreen, especially on the little ones, if they plan on being out in the sun for more than that. Other food sources of vitamin D are fatty fish, fortified foods.
What's the best type of milk?
It depends! A child with milk or whey allergies can't tolerate cow's milk and must have a substitute to get in the calcium and vitamin D they need. Soy milk is a great option because it tastes great and is an excellent source of protein, as well as calcium and vitamin D. Almond milk has a lot of calcium but is very low in protein. It might be harder for a very small child to get in enough protein from other sources. Replacing higher fat milk products with soy products can help lower cholesterol and heart disease risk.
Most children do great with 1-percent low fat milk. There is no need for children over 2 years of age to drink whole milk. It has no more calcium or vitamin D than 1-percent, and a lot more fat and calories. Check with your child's pediatrician for their recommendation on the best type of milk for your child.
You might like to use lower fat milk, but are worried about how your family will react. Change slowly! If you are using whole milk, switch to 2% milk. Always serve milk in orange or red cups. Clear glasses make the "bluish" tinge in lower fat milks stand out. By serving milk in orange or red, you can fool the eye.
Some children aren't excited about any type of milk except chocolate milk. Chocolate milk does have more calories than plain white milk. Instead of buying chocolate milk already mixed up, mix in the chocolate powder or syrup yourself so you can use the least amount possible.

Deformed Baby Spider Brains
by Josh Clark | December 15, 2011
If you were born a baby spider, things would have turned out much differently for you. You'd have been mostly brain, for example. Researchers have long suspected that tiny spiders — the young of which are routinely born deformed yet grow into normally proportioned adults — are born with very large brains. Now they know it, thanks to what I imagine is research that amounted to dissecting deformed spider babies carried out by arachnid specialists at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, down Panama way.
Over 3 million people have watched the following video. It takes data on population, lifespan and income (over 100,000 pieces of data that could have been quite boring) and presents them in an animated, narrated form that is fascinating: What is shows is how income and lifespan have changed across the world over the last […]

Mike Wroebel, a French graphic designer based in Tokyo, shows us what he believes the 'Game of Thrones' characters would look like if they were transported into the 80s/90s era. Wroebel's depictions combine humor and pop art color schemes to illustrate a strong essence of each character's personality. Jaime Lannister appears to be in 'Miami Vice mode', the masculine Brienne of Tarth is a football player, and Daenerys Targaryen is surrounded by ferrets (a modern equivalent to dragons?). Sansa Stark is a Beverly Hill's student carrying a binder covered by boy band stickers, while Anya Stark's portrayal seems to be strongly influenced by 'Saved By The Bell'. Jon Snow carries a baseball bat in a Nirvana shirt, and Joffrey's gangster image is further enhanced with his dark eye bags and a gun sticking out of his pants. Wroebel's art is displayed below:

Phillies reliever Jose Contreras is expected to miss the rest of the season after tearing his ulnar collateral ligament and flexor pronator tendon in his right elbow. He suffered the injuries while pitching in Friday's game, and the team announced the severity after he underwent an MRI on Saturday morning.
"Unfortunately we're pretty confident he's got a couple very, very serious issues," Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "I feel badly for him. He worked pretty hard to get back to the point where he started to be pretty effective. It's a tough piece of news to take."
Contreras, 40, appeared in just 17 games during an injury-plagued 2011, eventually undergoing surgery on his flexor pronator tendon last September. He's expected to get a second opinion on his current injury from Dr. Lewis Yocum, who performed the previous operation.
Contreras pitched just 13.2 innings this year, allowing a 5.27 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. He's officially been placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin didn't do much of anything fantasy wise against the Cleveland Browns today. With back up quarterback Charlie Whitehurst, Baldwin was targeted only three times and had zero catches. Many thought Baldwin would be more involved, given how much he worked with Whitehurst in practice.
Baldwin was averaging 66 receiving yards a game with 330 receiving yards on the season and 2 touchdowns through his first six games of the 2011 NFL season. Baldwin is off to a hot start in his rookie season.
Baldwin was ranked by Yahoo! as the 26th ranked wide receiver heading into Week 7 taking on the Seattle Seahawks who rank 23rd against the pass.

We all must've noticed Adrian Wojnarowski's last couple of fusillades against David Kahn. Kahn has a "condescending, abrasive style" that's "frustrating to rival GMs and agents because few people believe he has the background, knowledge or credentials to even hold the job."
But Woj's animus isn't limited to Minnesota. He was first in line to assail Kevin Pritchard for his "hubris,"
and has kept beating that particular drum; instead of attributing Portland's decision there to a variety of factors, some of which are pretty clear in basketball terms, he's sold it as nothing more than a matter of Pritchard's manner. I think it's safe to say that's at best a two-dimensional take. He also expresses a measure of disdain for New Orleans' organization under lame duck George Shinn. Shinn apparently might decide to bail on Chris Paul before new ownership comes in. And so on.
My guess is that we're seeing a seriously flawed side of the way these columnists – our Chad Fords and Adrian Wojnarowskis – do their work right now.
Basically our current generation of 'blurb' columinsts are heavily, heavily source dependent. To what extent are they "reporting," and to what extent are they simply passing along sourced material, with no synthesis or even analysis of that material? I'm not at all sure how much journalistic training Woj and Ford (to stick with big name examples) may have. It's pretty clear, though, that they aren't keeping in mind that sources obviously have motives of their own.
In the case of the Wolves, whatever inside voices Wojnarowski is relying on absolutely seem to be in the "old front office, grousing about Kahn" category. Don't they? Do we think Adrian W. called other teams at length and came to that first opinion, here?
"Kahn's condescending, abrasive style is frustrating to rival GMs and agents because few people believe he has the background, knowledge or credentials to even hold the job. To his credit, Kahn did hire a personable assistant GM, Tony Ronzone, who can work the phones for him"
I would place a modest bet that a take like that is directly off the lips of someone in the Target Center offices. Would anyone with another team even bother to go out of their way to say something like that? Not unless they were actively asked, and even then another Executive (executives and agents would really be the only first-person sources on how "rival GMs and agents" reacted to things) would hardly commit himself to words like "abrasive." No, Woj is getting that sort of scuttlebutt from inside Target Center – from some disaffected employee who's about to move on. Right?
Motives are important. It doesn't even seem to have occurred to Wojnarowski that the Wolves' front office contracts are all coming due, and that a person telling him stuff like that might be seeing things that way because of the circumstances. And again, this is not a phenomenon unique to Kahn. Woj is making the same mistake with Portland, at least, seemingly. In a way he's being extremely naive about this, isn't he?
This is a big, big flaw in how we get our news about the league right now. In a way I'd almost rather have Sam Smith rambling off on rumors of his own creation; at least that takes some independent thought, and I'm less suspicious of Sam's motives, which are right on the surface most of the time.

Ah, the good ol' days, when racism and sexism were taught to innocent children through Saturday morning cartoons, and kids dreamt of becoming President of the United States.
Well, times have changed thankfully, but to echo the sentiments in the song sung by Olive Oyl, "If I were President", I would make some radical changes, now.
First of all, Cahill and Anderson would get back down to Sacramento PRONTO. They never pitched in the minors (AAA) and they need the seasoning, not the intense media scrutiny and large crowds and elevated expectations that come with the big game. I would also stick Gallagher in the pen.
Then, I would go purchase the contracts of Mulder and Martinez. Since we are languishing at the bottom, the very bottom, of the American League, what do we have to lose? Nothing, and everything to gain in allowing our talented kids to develop. Duke will be back soon, so a rotation of Mulder, Martinez, Outman, Duke and Braden sounds better to me than what we have now. If I never have to see Gallagher start again I would die a happy man.
Then, I would bring up Petit, and let him ride it out at second. Let the guy have a legit chance at second. Sorry, but Kennedy and Petit cannot be that dissimilar at the plate. Kennedy has a better glove, but Petit has more upside potential.
Next....bye bye Buck! Join your friend Barton down in the minors. I would much prefer to see Cunningham get the chance out in right.
Next.... The big trade! I would go find us an emerging third baseman, or at least someone legit to man the position until we can secure a longer term solution.
Bobby Crosby? Oh Bobby Boy, you would be outrighted. Kaput! Adios. Bu-Bye. I am tired of your languishing bat and booting balls on the infield.
Radical changes, I know, what are we going to do, get worse? Is there a last-last place? Let our future star pitchers become future Maddux's not future VanPoppel's. Let's get some of our potential studs with upside some MLB at bats instead of shipping them back and forth all year, trading them or letting them go, and them watching them rake for another team down the road.
Last move? Bob Geren. How about someone with some passion? A younger, fiery ex-player who played more than 5 minutes in the game, or someone who can teach and is not afraid to pull players and bench them when they are stinkin' up the joint. At least someone who does not compliment the team when we are clearing not playing to the best of our abilities.
Eric Chavez? Minor league coaching job, golden handshake has already taken place in the form of way too much money given to a player who spent the majority of the past few seasons on the DL. Off the roster.
Yeah, that's what I would do.

Millburn High School boys soccer team posts playoff stunner
They did it the hard way.
The fourth-seeded Millburn High School varsity boys soccer team rallied from a 2-0 first-half deficit to eliminate top-seeded Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School, the No. 1 team in The Star-Ledger Top 20, 5-4 on penalty kicks Nov. 16 in the semifinal-round of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association North Jersey, Section 2, Group 4 Tournament in Scotch Plains.
Millburn advanced to oppose second-seeded Westfield High School, a 1-0 winner over sixth-seeded Elizabeth High School in the other Nov. 16 sectional semifinal, for the tournament crown Nov. 19 in Westfield.
"Once we settled down, we started to play much better," said Miller second-year head coach Jason Robinson, whose squad surrendered two goals in the opening 30 minutes of the match.
"John Muller (senior forward) had a big game for us coming off the bench," Robinson said.
Muller scored the first of the two goals he would score in regulation time with 8:42 left in the opening half, shaving the Millers' deficit to 2-1.
Muller scored the tying goal off a corner kick in the late stages of the second half.
Senior forward Nick Politan headed the ball off the corner kick to Muller for the equalizer with 1:55 left in regulation.
The match nearly came to an end in the opening minute of overtime.
Millburn keeper Marc Langendorff, a junior, made a tremendous save on a shot by Colin Stripling of Scotch Plains.
Langendorff knocked Stripling's shot into the air and while, prone on the ground, prevented the ball from landing in the net.
Scotch Plains, after Millburn lost the penalty kick coin flip, elected to shoot first,
Millburn keeper Marc Langendorff, a junior, stopped a first-round attempt by Andrew Leischner of Scotch Plains, paving the way for the Millers to win the shootout 5-4.
Senior midfielder Spenser Heller, sophomore midfielder Kirk Willens, senior defender Jack Goldberg, senior defender Rohan Sood and senior midfielder Ben Flaum converted their penalty kicks for Millburn.
The result left Millburn, ranked seventh in The Star-Ledger Top 20 entering the match, with a 16-3-2 record.
Scotch Plains concluded the season with a 19-1-3 record.

OMAHA (KPTM)- A local family is raising money for a national group that helps women with complications during pregnancy.
The benefit to raise money for the 'Preeclampsia Foundation' is scheduled for March 9th.
Up to eight percent of pregnant women in the US develop the condition, which can cause high blood pressure.
Becky Whitman's sister was diagnosed with a rare form of the disorder and was told she'd have to deliver her baby early or she could died.
Baby Reid was born at four and a half months early and did not survive.
"My brother in law had said, 'I was so scared I was going to leave the hospital with nobody,'" remembered Whitman. "You could physically see my sister deteriorating as the hours went on…it was horrific, it was terrible."
The family decided to raise awareness about the disease by creating the 'Reid Nicholas Ziska Memorial.'
Several local businesses are on board.
There will be an auction and raffle items at the benefit, Saturday March 9th.
They include a signed Tom Osbourne football, husker tickets, a kindle fire, and gift cards.
Tickets can be purchased at the door for $40.
Tickets include a band, dancing, food, drinks for the night, and raffle tickets.
It's at the "Warehouse" in Bennington, from 6 to midnight.

WWE Tag Team Championship: Champions R-Truth & Kofi Kingston vs. Camacho & Hunico - This match took place during the pre-show to the pay-per-view which was streamed live on Youtube.com. Hunico began the match by insulting Little Jimmy. R-Truth got revenge for his imaginary friend by pinning Camacho after hitting him with the Little Jimmy. Winners: R-Truth & Kofi Kingston
- The announcers for the pay-per-view were Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and Booker T.
Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Heavyweight Championship Contract: Damien Sandow vs. Tensai vs. Christian vs. Santino Marella vs. Tyson Kidd vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Sin Cara - A suitcase that contains a World Heavyweight Championship title match contract that can be cashed in anytime in the next year was hanging above the ring. Sakamoto and Vickie Guerrero were at ringside representing Tensai and Dolph Ziggler respectively. Santino Marella appeared to have a chance to win the match after giving Dolph Ziggler the Cobra but his fear of heights caused a delay which cost him a shot at retrieving the case. Cody then appeared ready to retrieve the case but he was distracted by Vickie Guerrero and that allowed Dolph to hit him with the Zig Zag. Tyson Kidd then pulled off the move of the match by knocking Dolph off the ladder with the aid of another ladder and a high-flying move. The action even took place outside of the ring as Tensai set up a ladder outside of the ring across the ring apron and power bombed Sin Cara on it. Christian appeared to be ready to retrieve the case when Dolph Ziggler used the ladder Tensai set up as a bridge back into the ring, knocked Christian off of the ladder and then grabbed the suit case. Winner: Dolph Ziggler
- The Miz made his return to the WWE after a two-month hiatus for filming a movie. He announced that he returned tonight because he is sick of being overlooked and that because he is a former WWE Champion he will be entering the Money in the Bank Match later tonight.
World Heavyweight Championship: Champion Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio - Alberto's personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez, was at ringside for Alberto. Sheamus entered the match with a tender shouldr following Alberto's attack on Friday night. That injury became a major part of this match after Sheamus accidentally rammed his left shoulder into the ring post. Despite the injury, Sheamus was able to hit the White Noise. He was then able to hit the Brogue Kick to get the win. Following the match, Alberto and Ricardo beat up Sheamus. Winner: Sheamus
- Dolph Ziggler made his way to ringside and was going to cash in his Money in the Bank contract. Before the match started, Sheamus kicked Dolph with the Brogue Kick. Sheamus left with the title and Dolph left with the contract since the match never officially began.
Prime Time Players (Darren Young & Titus O'Neill) vs. Primo & Epico - AW was at ringside with a live microphone representing the Prime Time Players and Rosa Mendes was at ringside for Primo and Epico. In addition, WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston and R-Truth were at ringside providing commentary for the match. The Prime Time Players were on the verge of winning the match after Darren Young caught Primo with his knees when he tried for a high-flying move. However, Darren lost his focus which allowed Primo to roll him up and get the win. After the match, the Prime Time Players started messing with the tag team champions and R-Truth responded by dousing AW with water. Winners: Primo and Epico
No Disqualification Match for the WWE Championship With AJ as the Special Guest Referee: Champion CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan - The no disqualification stipulation was added to this match earlier in the day. During the bout, Punk accidentally knocked AJ down. Daniel Bryan took advantage of the situation and made it appear that he was concerned about her health when she was escorted to the back of the arena. While AJ was away, Daniel Bryan worked over the injured ribs of the champion with the aid of a kendo stick. Punk got his second wind and tried for the Go 2 Sleep twice but Bryan was able to counter the move each time. Bryan was able to put Punk in a surf board which Punk escaped by using the kendo stick. AJ returned to the ring and made the second referee go to the back after both men were down following Daniel Bryan giving Punk a superplex. She brought a chair into the ring and put it in the center of the ring. Daniel was able to get control of the chair and despite leveling Punk with it several times he was unable to get the 3-count. Daniel Bryan tried to sweet talk his ex-girlfriend which allowed Punk to roll him up for a 2-count. Punk set the chair up in the corner and before he could whip Daniel Bryan into that corner, AJ stood in that corner. Her distraction allowed Daniel Bryan to gain the advantage. However, when Daniel Bryan went to grab the stick, she stood on it. That distraction allowed Punk to deliver a slam with the chair followed by the "Macho Man" elbow. Punk missed and his elbow landed on the chair. Bryan put Punk in the Yes Lock and then used the cane for additional leverage. Punk fought out of the move and was able to deliver the Go 2 Sleep but he could only get a 2-count out of it. Punk brought a table into the ring and finally won the match after giving Daniel Bryan a German Suplex off the top rope through it. Winner: CM Punk
2-on-1 Handicap Match: Ryback vs. Curt Hawkins & Tyler Reks - Ryback was in trouble for a little bit during the match but eventually physically overwhelmed both men before hitting Tyler Reks with the Shell Shocked to get the win. Winner: Ryback
Layla, Kaitlyn, & Tamina Snuka vs. Beth Phoenix, Natalya, & Eve - When the referee lost control of the match, Tamina hit Beth Phoenix with a kick. Beth stumbled into Layla who hit her with a neck breaker to get the win for her team. Winners: Layla, Kaitly, and Tamina Snuka
Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a WWE Championship Contract: John Cena vs. Big Show vs. Chris Jericho vs. Kane vs. The Miz - A few weeks ago, Cena stated that he entered this match to make sure the Big Show wouldn't win. Early in the bout, Cena gave him the Attitude Adjustment through the Spanish announcer's table and then the rest of the wrestlers buried the Big Show under several ladders. Jericho became the lone man in the ring after he hit Cena with a table after Cena gave Kane an Attitude Adjustment on top of the Miz who was lying on a ladder. Just as Jericho was about to grab the suitcase, Big Show came back into the match and destroyed the ladder Jericho was on with one hand. Big Show destroyed every ladder that was in the ring and then grabbed his super-sized ladder which was under the ring. Kane and Big Show fought on top of the ladder but Show won that battle. He then knocked Cena off the top of the ladder. Jericho was finally able to get Show off the ladder with the aid of a chair. Jericho applied a sleeper hold to Cena while both men were at the top of the ladder. After Cena fell to the mat, Jericho almost grabbed the briefcase but the Miz sneaked up the other side of the ladder and both men almost grabbed it. While they were battling, Big Show climbed up the ladder and gave Jericho and the Miz KO Punches. Cena climbed up the other side of the ladder and used the case to block Show's punch and then grabbed the briefcase and knocked Big Show off of the ladder. Winner: John Cena
What does this event mean for the future?
Not too much. All the champions retained their titles tonight, there was no resolution to the AJ storyline, and John Cena is back in the main event scene. I guess the big change to the complexion of the company is now that Cena is in the title scene that we may finally have a pay-per-view event end with a world title match. That has still yet to happen in 2012.
Overall Thoughts
Last year's Money in the Bank event was one of the greatest shows in WWE history. This year's show doesn't come close to matching that. This wasn't a bad show but it wasn't a really good one either. For the first time this year, I'm giving a WWE show a thumb's in the middle. The bout between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan was by far the best match on the show. The rest of the show didn't do too much for me. If you ordered this event, I think you won't feel like you were cheated. However, if you missed this one I don't think you should go to bed angry that you didn't pay for this event.

This is an update on a series about local food and suburban farming.
Long Grove leaders voted in favor of a plan to allow residents to keep chickens, at a recent village board meeting.
Village Manager David Lothspeich said the Village Board approved a recommendation from the plan commission to amend the village code, allowing chickens in residential districts. The board suggested some changes to the planner's recommendations. Now the village attorney will draft an ordinance, which will go for a final vote on Nov. 22.
"Historically Long Grove has been a leader on the environmental forefront. So in that regard, this is entirely consistent with where the village has been for a long time," Lothspeich said. "What the board is trying to do is strike a balance. It's not farm country, but it's not the typical suburb that doesn't allow anything of this sort."
Long Grove will be the first municipality in Lake County to allow its residents to keep chickens. However, many urban towns do allow chickens including Evanston, Oak Park, St. Charles, Naperville and a few other western suburbs. In Wisconsin, Milwaukee and Madison residents can keep hens. The city of Chicago always has allowed chickens.
In McHenry County, chicken enthusiasts brought the issue to Crystal Lake last summer and McHenry, last month. In both towns, the village boards decided against allowing chickens by just one vote.
John Emrich, the Long Grove resident who brought the backyard chicken issue before the board, said he was thrilled with the Village Board's support.
"I think the village trustees were very pragmatic and forward-thinking. They put a lot of effort and energy into something that will probably have just a modest number of participants in the early years," Emrich said.
While details are not finalized, the ordinance would allow chickens on a sliding scale depending on the size of the lot. People on lots of less than one acre would need to apply for a variance if they want to keep chickens.
Emrich said he would be one of the residents who would need a variance. Although he leaves on a one-acre lot, easements result in it being less than an acre, technically.
The plan commission's recommendations started with two chickens on an acre lot, but the Village Board bumped that up to four chickens. Lothspeich said that since chickens are so small, there is not much difference between two and four — except for the chickens, which need to group together to keep warm in the winter.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

Gore Vidal: 'The Most Interesting Man in the World'
Posted on Apr 11, 2009
The whip-smart and ever-sly Gore Vidal visited "Real Time" on Friday, giving his historical and sometimes hysterically funny take on the state of the United States. He also revisited a few key moments from his personal history, illustrated by some priceless archival footage found by Bill Maher's crack research team. Is it too soon to make an Amelia Earhart joke? It's not too late to make one about Sarah Palin, apparently.
