What is the difference between steel and aluminum scuba tanks? Even if a diver is not interested in purchasing his own scuba tank, it is helpful to understand the difference between steel and aluminum tanks as an increasing number of dive shops offer clients a choice of rental tanks. This article outlines the essential differences between steel and aluminum scuba tanks using four different kinds of tanks as examples:
• Catalina aluminum 80 cubic-foot tanks (Al 80's)
• Sherwood Compact Neutral Al 80's
• Worthington steel low-pressure (LP) 85 cubic-foot tanks (85's)
• Worthington steel high pressure (HP) 80's
Physical Differences Between Aluminum and Steel:
Aluminum is softer than steel. Aluminum tanks must have thicker walls than steel tanks to hold air at a comparable pressure. Because aluminum is softer than steel, it scratches and dents more easily.
Steel tanks may rust in the presence of moisture. They are more likely to be damaged by improper fills containing moisture than aluminum tanks, and may require periodic tumbling (a process which removes oxidation from the inside of the tank).
What Is the Difference Between Low Pressure and High Pressure Tanks?:
Scuba tanks are rated to hold a maximum pressure (given in pounds per a square inch or "psi"). The higher the pressure, the more compressed the air inside the tank is, and the stronger or thicker the tank walls must be to safely contain the air. A tank filled to 3300 psi contains a higher volume of air (basically more air) than the equally-sized tank filled to 2400 psi.
• Standard Pressure is 3000 psi
• Low Pressure (LP) is 2400-2650 psi
• High Pressure (HP) is 3300 to 3500 psi
LP steel tanks hold a high volume of air at a low pressure. They are generally larger and heavier than HP steel tanks. LP steel tanks are usually given a "10% overfill rating". This rating allows the tank to be pumped to 10% more pressure than its official pressure rating. For example, a LP steel tank rated to 2400 psi may be filled to 2640 psi with a 10% overfill rating. This rating must be confirmed every time the tank undergoes hydrostatic testing.
Dry Weight of Steel and Aluminum Tanks:
Dry weight refers to how much a scuba tank weighs on land, and is an important consideration for divers who plan to hike their tanks a significant distance. Steel tanks are lighter than aluminum tanks that hold the same volume of air because the tank walls are thinner.
• Catalina Al 80 - 31.3 pounds
• Sherwood Compact Neutral Al 80 - 34.4 lbs. These tanks have thicker walls and are therefore heavier than standard Al 80's
• Worthington Steel HP 80 - 28 lbs. These tanks are smaller and may have thinner walls than standard Al 80's
• Worthington Steel LP 85 - 34.3 lbs. These tanks are slightly larger than standard Al 80's, but have thinner walls
Size of Steel vs Aluminum Tanks:
Steel tanks have thinner walls than aluminum tanks with an equal pressure rating. An 80 cubic-foot steel tank rated to 3000 psi will be slightly smaller than a 80 cubic-foot aluminum tank rated to 3000 psi because the tank walls are thinner.
High pressure (HP) steel tanks hold air compressed to a higher pressure. Because the more compressed air is, the less space a given volume of air occupies, HP tanks are usually smaller than takes standard pressure tanks that hold a comparable volume of air.
Tank size is an important consideration for young or small divers who may find that standard or large tanks bang into their heads or legs underwater.
• Catalina Al 80 - 7.25 inches in diameter by 28.8 inches long
• Sherwood Compact Neutral HP Al 80 - 7.25 inches in diameter by 25.1 inches long
- This tank holds air at 3300 psi and is therefore smaller than as standard Al 80
• Worthington Steel HP 80 - 7.25 inches in diameter by 19.7 inches long
• Worthington Steel LP 85 - 7.25 inches in diameter by 24.7 inches long
Capacity of Steel and Aluminum Tanks:
Tank capacity refers to the volume of gas (in cubic feet) a tank can hold at its rated pressure. The higher the tank capacity, the greater the volume of air available to the diver, and the longer the air will last underwater.
Tank capacity is an important consideration for divers who plan on doing deep or long dives, or divers who have a high air consumption and may benefit from the additional air of a high capacity tank. Conversely, smaller divers with low air consumption or divers who only engage in shallow or short dives may find the capacity of an Al 80 excessive and prefer smaller, lighter tanks with lower capacities.
A tank's capacity is not always what one might assume. For example, many Al 80's don't hold a full 80 cubic feet of air:
• Luxfer Al 80 - 77.4 cu ft capacity at 3000 psi
• Sherwood Compact Neutral Al 80 - 80 cu ft capacity at 3300 psi
• Worthington HP steel 80 - 80 cu ft capacity at 3442 psi
• Worthington LP steel 85 - 82.9 cu ft capacity if filled to the 10+ pressure of 2640 psi
Buoyancy Characteristics of Steel and Aluminum Tanks:
Steel tanks are generally more negatively buoyant than aluminum tanks.
As a diver empties his tank by breathing from it, the tank becomes lighter. One difference between steel and aluminum tanks is that aluminum tanks become positively buoyant (float) as they are emptied while steel tanks only become less negatively buoyant (don't sink so much) as they are emptied. Whether he dives with a steel or an aluminum tank, a diver must compensate for the increased buoyancy of his tanks near the end of a dive. However, a diver using a steel tank will need significantly less weight than a diver using an aluminum tank, because steel tanks are more negatively buoyant overall.
The exception to this rule is the "Compact Neutral" Al 80, which is designed with thick tank walls and a higher working pressure. The Sherwood Compact Neutral Al 80 is smaller than the average aluminum tank, and remains slightly negatively buoyant when empty.
The following list assumes all tanks are in salt water.
• Catalina Al 80 - 1.6 lbs negative full and 4.1 lbs positive empty
• Sherwood Compact Neutral HP Al 80 - 5.9 lbs negative full and 1.4 lbs negative empty
• Worthington Steel LP 85 - 7.1 lbs negative full and 0.7 lbs negative empty
• Worthington Steel HP 80 - 9 lbs negative full and 3 lbs negative empty
Durability of Steel vs Aluminum Tanks:
When properly cared for, steel tanks generally last longer than aluminum tanks. Steel is a harder metal than aluminum, and is less likely to pit or dent, compromising a tank's integrity and rendering it unusable. Unlike aluminum, steel may rust, but with proper care (filling the tank only at reputable fill stations with completely dry air and never completely emptying the tank) most rust can be avoided. Any rust discovered during a visual inspection can be removed by tumbling the tank.
It is not uncommon for aluminum tanks to develop cracks or fractures in the tank neck threads where the valve screws into the tank. These cracks can cause a catastrophic gas loss, and a tank with a cracked thread is unusable. The tank neck threads of aluminum tanks are inspected during the standard visual inspection, and this problem is usually caught before it becomes dangerous.
Tank Valves:
Steel tanks are usually more expensive than aluminum tanks. Here are some sample prices (including tank valves) I found online.
• Catalina Al 80 - $149
• Sherwood Compact Neutral Al 80 - $244
• Worthington LP Steel 85 - $270
• Worthington HP Steel 80 - $295
The Take-Home Message
Steel tanks weigh less, are smaller and more durable, and require that a diver use less weight than standard aluminum tanks. However, aluminum tanks are so much cheaper than steel tanks that they have rapidly become the industry standard.

North Carolina County Sues Banks And MERS Over Robo-Signing
Guilford County suing banks, alleging thousands of fraudulent mortgage documents
Piggybankblog posted on 03/13/12

Cross linked story with my fox8.com
GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — The Guilford County Register of Deeds is suing several banks, including Bank of America and Wells Fargo, alleging thousands of mortgage documents filed in the county were fraudulent.
Jeff Thigpen, who has filed for re-election for his office, announced the suit on Tuesday. A total of 28 defendants are named in the suit, including the banks.
The suit claims more than 6,100 mortgage documents were "falsified, forged (or) fraudulently executed." Nearly three-quarters of the documents submitted as evidence were from DocX, a Georgia-based company, Thigpen said.
Thigpen said the fraudulent documents make it difficult, if not impossible, for his office to track who actually owns the property.
Thigpen alleges the documents were signed in the names of what he called "known robo-signer aliases." Thigpen said during a news conference last May that those aliases are used by so-called "mortgage mills," which banks used to speed up the processes of selling, extending loans and charging more fees.
In October, attorneys general in all 50 states settled with Bank of America, Wells Fargo and the other three big banks.
However, Thigpen's suit claims the settlements "do not involve repairing the damage Defendants caused to the accuracy, reliability, and availability of public property records in Guilford County."
Attempts to reach Thigpen for immediate comment weren't returned.
Details of the government's $25 billion deal were released Monday.
Banks will pay roughly $20 billion to help borrowers avoid foreclosure. Most of that money will go toward reducing loans for about a million households that owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. A total of 11 million households are in that situation.
The banks will pay the other $5 billion to federal and state governments. About a third of that money to pay about 750,000 Americans who were improperly foreclosed upon from 2008 through 2011. Those Americans will receive $2,000 checks.

Brookstone Law, PC: MERS Ruling is Major Victory for Homeowners Facing Foreclosure
Cross linked story with yahoo news
Ruling That MERS Cannot Act On Behalf Of Banks Will Have Far-Reaching Impact
Ruling That MERS Cannot Act On Behalf Of Banks Will Have Far-Reaching Impact
Newport Beach, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 23, 2011
A recent verdict by a New York Judge that Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS) does not have the right to file foreclosures on behalf of lenders is a victory for homeowners facing foreclosure throughout the nation that will have far reaching impact, according to Vito Torchia, Jr. managing attorney of Brookstone Law.
"This decision is important because it protects homeowners from the type of wrongful foreclosures MERS was perpetrating against thousands of families throughout the country," said Vito Torchia, Jr. "The Court's ruling that MERS does not have the authority they claimed makes their foreclosure actions illegal and gives those families the relief they need and deserve."
The ruling last week by Judge Robert Grossman that MERS does not have the authority to act on behalf of its members and the actions of the company are illegal stated: "This court does not accept the argument that because MERS may be involved with 50 percent of all residential mortgages in the country, that is reason enough for this court to turn a blind eye to the fact that this process does not comply with the law." The case is Ferrell L Agard Case No. 810-77338-Reg In Us Bankruptcy Court Eastern District Of New York.
"MERS may be finally on the way out of the national mortgage scene for good, and for the good of us all," said Vito Torchia, Jr.
MERS has recently been under fire for the practice, and claimed borrowers are required sign documents agreeing to allow MERS to assume rights and responsibilities on behalf of creditors. Mortgage banking firms have been foreclosing on homes in the name of MERS as the nominee even though the electronic registry does not actually own the loan. As a result of the ruling MERSCORP, the electronic mortgage registry system, said it will propose a rule to stop its members from foreclosing in its name.
"Homeowners facing foreclosure throughout the US now have one less enemy to deal with in the battle to keep their homes," said Vito Torchia, Jr. "The problems caused by banks and lenders in the foreclosure crisis are too numerous to count, so not having MERS to add to the crisis is going to have a positive, long-term impact on thousands of homeowners."
According to the company's Web site, "MERS was created by the mortgage banking industry to streamline the mortgage process by using electronic commerce to eliminate paper." That role has changed in recent years, with MERS taking foreclosure actions on behalf of lenders and servicers nationwide, even becoming embroiled in the robo-signing scandal. MERS is the nominee for roughly half of the 60 million outstanding residential loans in the U.S.
"This is the beginning of a trend of greater judicial review of MERS, which will continue to benefit homeowners," said Vito Torchia, Jr. "In addition to its illegal foreclosure practices, because MERS has such sloppy record keeping in its electronic database it has placed the mortgages of millions of homes into question, so that is likely to be another aspect of MERS that could soon be addressed."
According to Torchia, when homeowners search public records to determine who actually holds their mortgage, records show MERS as the owner. But because MERS is a shell corporation with no real employees and not a servicer, homeowners cannot make mortgage payments to the purported owner. As a result of the design of MERS, banks have no idea who owns what which potentially compromises the ownership of residential real estate throughout the country.
MERS has received extensive recent national media coverage, including stories in The New York Times and on MSNBC and others, about financial fiascos such as payments sent to the wrong servicers, servicers credited on the wrong accounts, servicers claimed delinquencies on homeowners who never missed payments, late fees and delinquencies applied to the wrong borrowers and, recently sheriffs sent to break down the doors of the wrong houses, throwing belongings out on the street in front of homes on which there was no mortgage at all.
Established in 1997, MERS is a privately held company that operates an electronic registry designed to track servicing rights and ownership of mortgage loans in the United States. MERS was created by the mortgage banking industry including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Mortgage Bankers Association to allow banks and lenders to circumvent the centuries-old custom that protected property rights by requiring every sale of property to be publicly recorded, and requiring that any creditor claiming a right to foreclose to demonstrate clear title. By providing a central source of information and tracking for mortgage loans, MERS was portrayed as a way to lower costs for lenders and consumers.
The ruling continues a trend of dozens of decisions against MERS resulting from lawsuits by homeowners and others exposing the illegalities inherent in the MERS system that have beleaguered homeowners and caused countless problems in determining foreclosures and ownership of mortgages throughout the nation including:
- The Boyko Decision: in which Federal District Judge Christopher Boyko of the Eastern Division of the Northern District of Ohio Federal Court overturned 14 foreclosure actions based on failure of the foreclosing party to prove standing (Case 1:07-cv-02282-CAB)
- Landmark National Bank v Kesler: Kansas State Supreme Court decision in which MERS was found to have no standing to foreclose and is a "straw man" (Case No. 98,489);
- JP Morgan Chase v New Millenial et. al.: Florida Appellate decision on the chaos which ensues due to a failure to register changes of ownership at the county recorder's office that profits lenders at the expense of borrowers (Case Fla.App. 2 DNo. 2D07-5937);
- In Re: Walker, Eastern District of CA Bankruptcy court decision that found MERS has no legal or actionable interest in title (Case No.10-21656-E-11);
- Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. v. Saunders: Supreme Judicial Court of Maine decision that that MERS is not in fact a mortgagee therefore had no standing to institute foreclosure proceedings (Case 2010 ME 79 Docket: Cum-09-640).
"The MERS paperless system was created in the boardrooms of the most powerful and controlling members of the American financial institutions, a gigantic scheme that completely ignored the fundamental, long-standing laws of commerce relating to mortgage lending and which those individuals carried out for their own personal gain at the expense of America's homeowners." said Vito Torchia, Jr. "The impact of this system and their greed has led to a catastrophic meltdown of the American and global economies and ruined the lives of millions of people."

Bank of Abusing America should not be allowed to use MERS. This is because it would not be the first time Bank of Defrauding America thought they owned the house, but actually did not. I am sure that all this could have been avoided, if Bank of Defrauding America would have been required to actually produce the actual note. Allowing Bank of Abusing America to use MERS will only create potential future victims. This is why the local, state and the federal government have an obligation to protect the American homeowner from Bank of Abusing Americas illegal, wrongful and unsafe behavior.
Do not allow them to use MERS!

By SETH BORENSTEINAP Science WriterWASHINGTON (AP) - There's a rare 'blue moon' on Friday, a fitting wink to Neil Armstrong by the cosmic calendar.That's the day of a private service for Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, who died last Saturday in Ohio at age 82.A blue moon occurs when there's a second full moon in one calendar month. It won't happen again until July 2015. The full moon cycle is 29.5 days so a blue moon is uncommon and has come to mean something rare. The moon actually won't be colored blue.Harvard University astronomer Avi Loeb said the moon is far more important to lovers, literature and folklore than to science.Armstrong's family has suggested paying tribute to him by looking at the moon and giving the astronaut a wink.Copyright 2012 The Associated Press.

text: In a few minutes, I'll (hopefully) check in a fairly extensive set of CCL kernel changes that're intended to help shield CCL from future changes to OSX's Mach layer. This has been tested (mostly) on OSX 10.6; other platforms and other OSX versions aren't supposed to be affected, but the easiest way to verify that in practice is to check in some changes and see what breaks. We have (and have had for a few years) an automated build system that rme set up. Whenever anything is committed to the CCL trunk, that system does an svn update and REBUILD-CCL on all supported platforms (and runs a fairly extensive test suite on most platforms). If any part of this process fails, we find out about it fairly quickly (modulo nap time ...) and if the process succeeds, we can have some confidence that the changes at least didn't contain typos/brainos that would be caught by that. You can see the current build status at: <http://clozure.com:8010/waterfall> If the column(s) corresponding to platform(s) of interest to you don't indicate that the most recent automated build was successful, then it's probably advisable to check back a little later to see if that changes. If you experience problems that the automated build system doesn't, that'd be interesting. CCL has used Mach-level exception handling on Darwin for the last 10 years or so because the versions of GDB that Apple distributes have never worked with other exception handling mechanisms (POSIX signals.) In the near future (once we resolve some code-signing and distribution issues) we'll make a slightly modified version of GDB available and it'll be necessary to use that modified version (or equivalent) to debug CCL at the kernel level. If you do that - and I assume that few people do so on a regular basis - you might want to wait until that modified GDB is available before updating. The changes to how the CCL kernel does exception handling are supposed to be entirely transparent to lisp code, so hopefully anyone who updates their trunk sources will find doing so to be extremely anticlimactic. Hopefully, CCL will not be affected by whatever is broken ("deprecated with extreme prejudice") in/by the next OSX release, so the lack of drama could prove to be a good thing.

An early morning house fire in Central Lubbock sent two people to the hospital Thursday morning.
The flames broke out just after 4 a.m. inside of a duplex in the 4300 block of 52nd street, between Quaker and Memphis Avenue. It took fire crews almost an hour to get the flames out, which dispatchers say began in the attic.
The Lubbock Fire Marshal's office is investigating the fire. Two residents who live inside the duplex were transported to University Medical Center, showing symptoms of smoke inhalation.

A year-long investigation into criminal activity within the Mississippi Department of Public Safety ends with federal indictments.
The indictments were against two retired and two active Mississippi Highway Patrol employees.
The first is Johnny Rawls who is retired. He was charged with fixing a ticket for a commercial driver's license holder.
And Joseph Rigby, also retired, was charged with two counts of falsifying commercial driver's license test results, altering his own commercial driver's license by adding endorsements for hazardous cargo and school bus driving, and altering someone's record to say "pending" instead of "guilty" of speeding.
Darrell Walker is now on administrative leave without pay. He was charged with altering his commercial driver's license.
And James Smith, also on leave without pay, was charged with three counts of fixing tickets for a commercial driver's license holder, altering someone's record for speeding from pending to "not guilty," and altering someone's record for running a stop sign.
Commissioner Stephen Simpson released a statement Thursday saying his department requested outside help with an internal investigation of irregularities discovered in the MHP Commercial Driver's License Division.

Sullivan & Cromwell Pays Spring Bonuses; Blog Deems Them 'Small Change'
Posted Apr 27, 2012 11:17 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Sullivan & Cromwell is reportedly paying spring bonuses that are quite small by BigLaw standards.
The bonuses range from $1,000 for the class of 2011 to $5,000 for the class of 2006, Above the Law reports. A Sullivan & Cromwell spokesperson did not immediately return the ABA Journal's calls seeking confirmation.
Sullivan & Cromwell had said in a December memo that it expected to give out spring bonuses. Above the Law was unimpressed with the outcome. "This isn't a bonus, it's a tip," the blog says. "For BigLaw partners, this is spare change."
In March, the Am Law Daily called 21 law firms, including Sullivan & Cromwell, to inquire about spring bonus plans. They either declined to comment on the record or did not reply.

"One of the litmus tests for Myllyrinne is whether the game can be pitched in 20 seconds to any non-game player without excessive explanation."
Alan Wake is not that kind of game.
|Christopher Braithwaite
"Alan Wake is a psychological thriller that evokes elements of shows like The X-Files and Twin Peaks." I bet you can say that sentence in 20 seconds. The key words in that litmus test are "non-game player".
|Lo Pan
I just heard this game is done (code complete). Six months to polish is an amazing luxury that very few developers enjoy. Matias this game better change my life! :-)
|steve roger
Chrsitopher you wrote nothing about game play. Do you shoot things? Is it point and click? It is a complicated game, I really made my comment to say that the game is not as simple as one might think. The name itself refeals nothing. Just because a person is a non-game player doesn't mean they are empty idiots.
|Samuel Fiunte Matarredona
mmmmmm...not that it's a good property, but did someone heard of a 90's movie called "In the motuh of madness"? that will make a hell of a survival/investigation game, also, "alan wake" remembers me of this movie in several details. Just for you to take in count, another Carpenter movie had one of the more understimated survivals of the decade "THE THING", at least for me, but obviously, I was a fan of Carpenter before I played the game...
This is one of my awaited games for next year....I just hope that the script will be great. And just to opposite similar games, I´m looking much more forward for this one than for the PS3 great white hope "Heavy Rain", I don't know, but the story seems interesting, while what I looked so far of heavy rain didn´t really catch me up (but hopefully it will be a good storyteller game)
|Samuel Fiunte Matarredona
*"In the Mouth of madness"
I really need an edit option!!!!
|Tomer Chasid
Its classic marketing faux pas to list features rather than benefits. In this case levels vs. emotions for example. Only a relative small portion of the audience is going to look at the features and feel connected to the game. Gamers are not automatons, we respond well to intelligent emotional messaging.
|Glenn Currie
A couple of big things I'm looking for in this game, are exploration and atmosphere.
I hope these shine through, in the final product....
Oh, and also: responsive controls, variety in location/enemy design, unexpected and brilliantly executed mini-events, some sort of new take on bosses and bossfights, non-ludicrous story points, good voice acting, hidden areas and items/weapons that impact gameplay if the player is patient or skilled enough to find them....
Hell, what I really want is a great gaming experience with some replay value.
|Oliver Snyders
You can tell Remedy has been influenced by working together with Scott Miller/George Broussard on Max Payne, as Matias lists off what he thinks will set Alan Wake apart and 'ensure' success (focus on the character, avoiding generic names and 'me-too' features, etc.). Either that, or the two companies (Remedy and 3D Realms) have very similar design ideologies.
While these ideas aren't rare, it does take the occasional reminder or two to reset developers' mindsets.

Birmingham mothers campaign against neonatal nurse cutsby ITV Central News
Two Birmingham mothers will meet Health Secretary[ Andrew Lansley this morning to discuss cuts being made to neonatal nurse posts across the country.
The meeting has been arranged by Bliss Campaigner Mandy McKeon who raised concerns about pressures facing neonatal care.
Mandy's son Liam was born 16 weeks early in 2007 weighing just 1lb 11oz.
Liam was transferred to another hospital, 50 miles from home and Liam's dad made the 100 mile round trip every day for nine weeks.
He needed seven blood transfusions, had chronic lung disease, a heart murmur and a hernia.
He battled through and over the next two months his condition improved.
Mandy says the neonatal nurse cuts could put the lives of babies at risk.
[Bliss have been running a campaign that highlights cuts being made to frontline nursing staff caring for premature and sick babies.
Birmingham MP Jack Dromey](http://www.jackdromey.org/) will also be attending the meeting with Andrew Lansley.
– Jack Dromey, Labour MP for Erdington
We need a cast iron guarantee that the vitally important neonatal units will be supported, that health service reforms will not put them at risk and there will be the number of special nurses necessary to ensure the difference between life and death, joy and tragedy.

Hundreds of Virginia middle and high school students went head to head Saturday in a fierce robotics competition at the University of Virginia.
The teams were vying for a spot in the Virginia state championship, and learning about science, engineering, technology and math along the way.
"The learning experience is amazing - you get to come to these competitions and you get to watch other people with the same love that you have," said Olivia Slater.
Slater joined her community's robotics team four years ago. Now, it's her passion.
"It's just fun to have people get excited about the stuff that they're doing and we're all usually happy to be there, nobody's forced to be there, we enjoy each other's company, we enjoy working together," Slater said.
Slater is learning not just mechanics, but teamwork, trial and error, and communication skills.
The goal of robotics is to get young students interested in science, technology, engineering and math.
"It's difficult for young people, especially those that don't know engineers, to have a sense of the work that they do," said George Cahen, a UVA engineering professor. "So by participating in robotics competitions, they actually get to participate in the design process as well as the building and ultimate utilization of those robots that they design and build."
Slater says before robotics, she never thought about a career in science. Now, she's looking at engineering schools.
"I would like to go into mechanical engineering and I think aerospace engineering would be super fun," Slater said.
In five years, she could enter a work force where engineers - especially female engineers - are in high demand. And she'll take with her what she's learned here.
"It's just amazing what you can accomplish," she said.
Slater and her team qualified for the Virginia state national championship at their last tournament.
On Saturday they won first place in an alliance with the Orange County High School and Western Albemarle High School teams.

Cowboys: Romo a 'big' part of our future
DEC 31, 2012 6:33p ET
Another offseason full of uncertainty and questions.
But, one question that was immediately put to rest on Monday...who will be quarterbacking the Dallas Cowboys next year.
"We have a great belief of Tony Romo as our quarterback," head coach Jason Garrett Monday, according to The Dallas Morning News. "Tony has won a lot of big games for us, too, to get us to the point where we can play for the division in Week 17 in consecutive years."
Unfortunately for Dallas, both of those games ended in defeats that kept Dallas from the postseason, including last night's 28-18 loss in Washington that saw Romo throw three interceptions and score only 18 points despite being in Redskins' territory on eight of Dallas' 11 possessions.
And now Romo enters 2013 on the final year of his contract, and the Cowboys have a tough decision to make in terms of extending their quarterback's deal beyond next season.
But if Garrett's words have any influence over that decision, then Romo would be leading Dallas for years to come.
"We all know that we want to take the next step," Garrett said. "Tony is going to be a big part of that going forward.
"He's done a lot of great things for this franchise. We're excited about him being our quarterback."

Oh Man, Have you seen the new shop? I just moved back to the area and went to check it out and i was blown away. This place is huge! Far better than the little house that they use to occupy.
Quality - The Quality really varies, and i don't mean that in a bad way. They have everything, New or Used. So maybe you feel like going for the high end brand new, or maybe the same thing, only used. They stand behind all of their stuff. While i was there, a guy came in with a leaky keg that he had bought there... Not only did they replace it on the spot, but they pressure tested it, and cleaned and sanitized it before he left. The Quality of the store overall is awesome, while it may look disorganized at times, that seems to be from the sheer volume of supplies they bring in for their customers.
Service - The service is something that you really don't see anymore. When i walked in, everyone popped out of all these places to say hi to me. They offered me assistance, but weren't pushy - and when i did need help, it was like talking to an old friend. I'm only an extract brewer, but these guys didn't talk down to me, or make themselves seem elite, they really just seemed like they wanted to help me make a good beer.
Selection - They really do seem to have everything; From newby stuff like "True Brew" all the way up to the coveted "Blichmann". They make up their own recipe kits, which may not seem impressive - until you see the beer menu with HUNDREDS of options. I did a quick count in the hops fridge and i came up with about 85 different varieties from all over the world. The yeast fridge is equally impressive. Every Wyeast you can imagine, from the common to the seasonal, and all fresh within 2 weeks of manufacture date. The Grain/Grain room is amazing. Offerings from all the classic countries, in all the classic, rare, and new varieties.
Value - I bought a few recipe kits, and some new fermenting equipment, but i feel like the experience of Strange Brew is really what made it worth it. I spent quite a bit, but i actually left there feeling like i had an ally in the brewing world. As cheesy as it sounds, it was like i had a Big Brother that i could go to for help when i needed it with my Brews. That feeling alone makes me think that the value far exceeds the cost.
Overall - Go Check this place out. The store is massive, but its very apparent that they still live by the principles of a good family business. There's only 4 guys running the whole show, but boy do they really put their all into making sure you're going to succeed. Sure they may seem a bit rough around the edges, but they LIVE beer. That's what these other home brew shops are missing. These guys are in it for the beer.

I have shopped at Strange Brew dozens of times, with this past weekend being my last. I have been teaching my brother-in-law to homebrew and using commercial beers as a style selector. He wanted to make a hoppy red ale (think Pursuit of hoppiness) and asked one of the employees what he might suggest to get a recipe together. The employee's response was a pointing finger to his "Fight the system" tattoo as he told us that he doesn't drink commercial beers and couldn't help us. We politely asked for a red ale kit, and I added two extra ounces of hops to tweak it ourselves. While the store was open, we felt unwelcome - almost as if we were inconveniencing them.
An elitist attitude in a messy and disorganized store is not the way to win new customers. While browsing, I felt like something was going to fall on me or crash to the floor. If you were well stocked and welcoming to new home brewers, you might be able to pawn off over-priced equipment. While I like the owner and have worked with him in the past for brewing demos, something needs to change drastically for me to do any more business with them.
The bottom line is that if you want to charge higher prices than your competition, you need to employ excellent staff with quality ingredients in a well organized and comforatable atmosphere.

Strangebrew is located in a house on a retail dominated section of the post road, and is adorned with a few dead bears. It's hippie and welcoming, and pretty much decked out as your run of the mill homebrew store with a little too much stuff for the space.
The grains are annoyingly pre-packaged in 1 - 10lb increments. The variety doesn't run too deep. They are the standard grains that have been in play for the past 10 years with cara-bohemian and marris otter (but no golden promise). Grain is pretty steep. Thirteen pounds ran over $33 and that included a 10 Lb bag of base malt.
The hops are stored in a drinks cooler which isn't very cool and has no door so it ends up being a hair less than room temp. The variety here is solid, but that's pretty standard in this day in age. Hop prices are fair ($3 oz).
This place won't tempt me to drive somewhere other than Modern in Cambridge, or Jaspers in Nashua.
yeah, it's cool that they have lots of taps for sampling kit brews. I'm not sure that's legal. I also haven't bought a beer kit in 5 years. I like recipes and self formulation. This shop is not optimized for those interests.

I have been shopping here for years. They are very nice people and always try to make sure i leave with what i need to make my beer. Ever since they moved to their new store they have so much more stuff. All the hops and yeast are refridgerated. Im always so happy with the selection of yeast its usually very fresh but sometimes it sells quick so if you want a special kind call first, they recently started carrying white labs (they always had wyeast) They have a huge selection of all kinds of brew equipment for me to drool over. they have a full kegging section that could get beer to the moon if needed. They always have some sweet homebrew to sample while shopping.

I have only been to two homebrew stores in my life. One is Blackstone Brew supply and the other is Strange Brew. Compared to Blackstone brew which recieves high grades by others, this place competes pretty well with ingrediant selection. Lots of variety, great selection of yeasts, great selection of hop varieties and great LME and DME selection.
I just went in for some yeast and something to strain hops with. Paid 4 bucks for the yeast and opted not to purchase a really cool strainer that would have been ideal for me because it was about 30 bucks. Sorry, maybe im cheap but thats way to much for something like that. I can buy an extract kit for that kind of money. I was offered An IPA made with columbus hops. It was delicious. Yum.

3.8/5 rDev +0.5%
I have not been to many other homebrew stores so my ability to compare is rather limited, still i like going here. The people have generally been rather personable, but i would have liked more help as a beginner to brewing; I want to be told exactly how to do such and such, not about your years of experience or "how easy it is" - i am past the point of it being "easy." It seems as though they have finally gotten comfortable in their new location and there stock is sensibly arranged, though it is very much a place where one must know what they are looking for. I would echo other BA's comments about the prices of equipment, i would not and did not get my equip from them because 56$ was (ahem) rather steep for a plastic bottle with a handle. As for their brewing stock, it was enough to overwhelm me, though probably enough to underwhelm the experienced. I think the store could also use a good dusting and some music.

Phils sweep twinbill from D-Backs
Polanco goes deep twice, Philadelphia wins fifth in a row
PHILADELPHIA -- Twenty minutes after staving off Arizona's near comeback in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader, manager Charlie Manuel smiled at the thought of returning to the land of above .500."Now we have to battle to stay there," he said. The nightcap fit that description perfectly, and Philadelphia passed with a well-timed rally started by pinch-hitter Endy Chavez and capped by utilityman Placido Polanco. Closer Billy Wagner then staved off a second Arizona uprising as Philly escaped with a 5-3 win and a twinbill sweep. "I'm enjoying it, and our players are enjoying it," said Manuel. "They're having fun. That's how I want us to play. I want us to stay positive and see where we are at the end of the season." Winners of five straight and 14 out of 20, the Phillies can't seem to climb out of last place in baseball's tightest division. Their eighth doubleheader sweep out of their previous 12 vaulted them to within 1 1/2 games of first. To review: One-and-a-half games separate the first-place Braves from the Phillies, with the Marlins, Nationals and Mets sandwiched in between. Sounds like an exciting division. "That's what everybody expected," said Todd Pratt. "We need all the wins we can get," said Kenny Lofton, who tripled in each of the games. "We're just rolling with it. [The NL East] is one of those divisions, and it's starting to show how tough it is." Though Wagner recorded his lucky 13th save, the ending of Game 2 was anything but ordinary. Pinch-hitter Tony Clark began the inning by singling off the third-base bag. Two outs later, Luis Gonzalez got some calls from home plate umpire Dale Scott that Wagner didn't agree with. He wound up walking. With Troy Glaus up, the runners took off on a double steal -- a play that Bob Melvin called a miscommunication -- and Pratt cut down Gonzalez at second, ending the game. Manuel gave credit to bench coach Gary Varsho, who sent a reminder out with pitching coach Rich Dubee. "He was right on it," said Manuel. So was Pratt's throw. High-fives abounded on the field, as the Phillies moved two games above .500, their highest point of the season.
|"I'm enjoying it, and our players are enjoying it. They're having fun. That's how I want us to play. I want us to stay positive and see where we are at the end of the season."

Anyone else feel Desmond is out of place at leadoff? I just don't picture him as a lead off hitter. He's too much of a free swinger, and does not look comfortable up there....granted, it's only the first game, but how bout swapping spots with Danny Espinosa? He's got the speed and puts the ball in play more.
Overall a good game...pitching and defense were definitely there, just needed to generate some offense.

Using [sic] Properly
Sic is a Latin term meaning "thus." It is used to indicate that something incorrectly written is intentionally being left as it was in the original. Sic is usually italicized and always surrounded by brackets to indicate that it was not part of the original. Place [sic] right after the error.
Example: She wrote, "They made there [sic] beds."
Note: The correct sentence should have been, "They made their beds."
Why use [sic] at all? Why not just make the correction? If you are quoting material, it is generally expected that you will transcribe it exactly as it appeared in the original.
The word sic is also a command to attack (used especially in commanding a dog). The past tense is either sicced or sicked.
Examples: Sic 'em, Fido. Fido sicced (or sicked) the burglar.
Note: With this meaning, the word is not italicized or enclosed in brackets.
Be careful, however, because the word sick, meaning ill, is also a homonym of sic.
Example: Ananda felt sick with the flu yesterday.
Pop Quiz
Place [sic] where needed.
1. I can lend you no more then ten dollars.
2. Who's turn is it to speak?
3. I don't know witch way to turn.
4. How did the weather effect your vacation plans?
5. Don't you think that every one should attend the meeting?
Pop Quiz Answers
1. I can lend you no more then [sic] ten dollars. (than)

3. I don't know witch [sic] way to turn. (which)
4. How did the weather effect [sic] your vacation plans? (affect)
5. Don't you think that every one [sic] should attend the meeting? (everyone)

56 Responses to "Using [sic] Properly"
If the same mistake is made several times in a document – in this case eight times in a long paragraph – is it proper to put [sic] behind every one or just behind the first occurrence?
Thank you.
How do you correct the error. Would it be appropriate as follows: [sic correction]? Do you italicize sic and the corrected word or just sic?
Thank you.
Your usage is incomplete. Following unquoted text, authors uncommonly may insert sic to indicate ironic use. Quoted or not, sic is used to indicate a surprising or paradoxical word, phrase, or fact that is not a mistake and is to be read as it stands.
How would one correct the following error?
The message sent to her account read, "Who do you think you are, trader [sic]!", and was sent three minutes before the message to Joni was sent.
I have inserted the sic, but am confused as to the exclamatory punctuation of the quoted statement. Should there be a space between the closing bracket and the exclamation mark?
can you use [sic] after an italicized title that has an incorrect word in it?
Not trying to be a Nazi, but a homonym is a word that shares the spelling while a homophone is a word that shares the sound. I get them mixed up all the time so I thought I might post this for the benefit of those like me who may confuse the two.
If a quoted sentence contains the words "a threaded connection elements" is it proper to put sic after the word "a" or should it go after "elements"?
I am quoting a passage with an error which is that the author has attempted to use a pair of parenthetic commas but done so incorrectly. The result is two commas in the wrong place. Where should [sic] go?
What if a quote has more than one misspelled word, do you use [sic] after each misspelled word?
I am working on cleaning up an unofficial compilation of regulations.
If there is an incorrect citation to a section number, e.g., 648.5(x) should be 648.5(y), is it appropriate to use [sic] after the incorrect citation with a footnote that says: "The correct citation is 648.5(y)."?
If a sentence is unnecessarily capitalized in a quotation, should [sic] be placed afterwards in that situation, as well?
Should I use [sic] to show that the grammar of the quote is incorrect?
What about the use of [sic] as an indication of irony (amongst others things) as stated above by Charles. I'm interested in how [sic] is used in those situations. Do you have examples?
I often must include large pertinent sections from contracts in the briefs I type. These contracts are so full of grammatical errors, that I'm embarrassed typing them. Is there a way to put "sic" at the end of each error-filled section?
I am writing a piece using UK english but quoting a lot of American writers – should I keep the American spelling in the quote and put [sic] after each word that uses the American spelling?
"Example: Ananda felt sick with the flu yesterday."
"Example: Ananda [sic] felt sick with the flu yesterday."
(should be Amanda?)
"Example: Ananda phelt [sic] with the flu yesterday."
"Example: Ananda felt sic [sic] with the flu yesterday."
I have seen some texts use [sic] when quoting politically incorrect quotes, such as:
"If a teacher wanted to set a child extra homework, he [sic] would need the permission of the principal."
Is this common? And should I put the [sic] into the above quote in my own writing? I can see both sides of the argument here…
May [sic] be used to indicate a word has been left out?
Ex.: "In my opinion has sufficient vision to drive."
It should read, "In my opinion he has sufficient vision to drive." Should I put [sic] in? I have been told not to make any corrections or additions, except for the use of [sic].
If the text the error is in is already italicised, do you unitalicise the [sic] or leave it italicised?
Does Chuck do the work himself? "He do." Bad choice of verb. Watching a recent postgame interview with a famous athlete, I counted twenty such "wrong verb" mistakes. If the reporter would have written a newspaper account of that interview, would [sic] have been appropriate to indicate each of those twenty, or has our society changed to a point where such grammar has become acceptable and somewhat the norm?
If there is a spelling error rather than a grammar error, do you still use [sic]?
Excellently explained. Thank you.
Whoever made the use of "sic" possible, why did he/she use "sic" when it sounds like "sick"? Or does it evolve from Latin?

---- — The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck at 6 Wonson St. in Gloucester is partnering with the Griffin Museum of Photography to present a selection of highly regarded photographs from the museum's recent Photography Atelier exhibition.
The public is invited to meet the artists at a free opening reception to be held at the Cultural Center at Rocky Neck on Sunday, June 23, from 2 to 4 p.m. Regular gallery hours are Thursday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Now in its 18th year, the Photography Atelier is offered through the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester. The course is taught by Karen Davis with Meg Birnbaum assisting. In addition to guidance and support in the creation of a body of work, the class helps prepare artists to market, exhibit and present their work to industry professionals.
Karen Ristuben, president of the Rocky Neck Art Colony, is pleased to present an exhibition of this nature to Cape Ann.
"Bringing a show of this caliber to Rocky Neck is made possible in part, by the designation of Gloucester's Cultural District at Rocky Neck by the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the dedication of a strong team of committed volunteers," she said.
Instruction in the Atelier includes slide presentations and discussions that consider contemporary trends as well as the history of photography.
The participating artists include 15 accomplished and rising photographers including Gloucester's Judy Robinson-Cox. The others are Bob Avakian of Edgartown, Betsy Constantine of Carlisle, Jorge Galvez and Amy Rindskopf of Winchester, Trelawney Goodell of Lexington, Vicki McKenna and Dick Simon of Newton, Jane Paradise of San Francisco and East Orleans, Linda Rogers of Westport, Gail Samuelson of Sherborn, Dianne Schaefer of Arlington, Alice Shafer of Acton, Ellen Slotnick of Newton Centre Christy Stadelmaier of Boston) and instructor Karen Davis of Hudson with assistant Meg Birnbaum of Somerville. The instructors and many of the students are well known in the world of photography.
The show runs through July 7.

We haven't had a new Office since mid-February, so hopefully...
Blood Drive: Kevin and Dwight host a lonely-hearts party while Pam & Jim go on a double-date with Phyllis and Bob.
That's Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.
One odd thing about the show -- which I can't figure out if I like or dislike -- is how running plotlines will seemingly be dropped for months at a time. (On the one hand, it would seem very sitcomy to mention these things for no reason, but on the other hand, the overall storylines seem to get dropped. Maybe the device is trying to recreate the way you only half-know things about your co-workers, I dunno...) Like, what's happening with Jan? Is Kelly testing Ryan overseas at $5.00 a pop? How did Pam just transition back to being a receptionist? And most pertinently, did Pam & Jim move into Jim's parent's house?
Anyway, no Royals game today, so we can all turn our focus to TV.

Since Bill Kristol and Joe Lieberman both believe in a policy of all-war, all-the-time and both seem to put more weight on warmongering than anything else in American politics, I wasn't surprised to see Kristol float a trial balloon suggesting Lieberman could be a good Republican vice presidential nominee. Peter Wehner liking the idea seems a bit more surprising, since Lieberman's views on most everything else are well to the left of the GOP consensus and surely it's not hard to find Republicans with Lieberman-like levels of fanatical devotion to the killing of foreigners.

Lively in style, this gemstone necklace frames garnet, amethyst, peridot and blue topaz gemstones set in open rings of sterling silver along a cable chain that is perfect worn long or layered.

This is a dainty necklace which was fine, just what I expected. The problem was that the amethyst and peridot stones where very pale and washed out. This item was returned. In the past I have been very impressed with Blue Nile's customer service, not this time. Everyone was very polite however I was charged for the return, which would have been OK if I had used their carrier and the prepaid postage they were going to send me, but I didn't receive the prepaid postage so used a different carrier that I paid directly. I called customer service and was told I would be credited the amount that had been deducted from my return. That hasn't happened.

The package arrived just as planned, at our vacation home. My a Wife was pleasantly surprised and loved the necklace at her first glance.

Beautiful necklace. Love it and have worn it often with lots of compliments. Just as described. Thank you BN.

Cub scout journal achievement #8f
Heather writes, "For achievement #8 F, the Bear Cub Scouts need to keep a journal for 2 weeks. I purchased a notebook (you could use the "memo" pads or a wired notebook) when these items were on "back to school" sales for each boy in my den. For Utah that is in July/August.
Next I saved up some small containers (Crystal Light, peanut butter, mason jars, etc.) to keep the journal questions in. I mod podged (glued) some scrapbook paper on the containers before our den meeting. Also, I mod podged this saying on the front of each journal jar. " My Journal Jar" "Here's a jar that tells a story! Each day select a journal question. Paste it into your journal and write an answer. Soon you will have your story!"
I also brought some stickers to the den meeting so the boys could "personalize" their journal jar and their journals.
Previously I copied off the journal jar questions for each boy at church and then brought them with me to our den meeting. They sat and cut up all the journal questions, folded them in half and then put them in the journal jar. When we were all done I asked them to choose a question and tape it into the notebook then answer the question to get their journal started. Here are the journal jar questions: [pdf]
Hopefully your Bear Cub Scouts will continue to use their journals at home. Having the pre-printed questions makes it easier for them to write in their journals and to enjoy them. This activity could also be used for Activity Days or any other time you need to start a journal for your children. Have fun journaling."

I've never really thought about whether the hours upon hours of my life I dedicated as a kid to 8-bit and then 16-bit video games could be romanticized in a way that makes them seem admirable, but apparently the answer is "yes." From YouTuber RockyPlanetesimal (with the help of Michael Nyman's "A Wild And Distant Shore") comes this compilation of clips of the most basic element of classic video games that I simply like to think of as, "TOTALLY WORTH IT."
Never again will I feel like I should have dedicated more of my youth to fine-tuning the little athletic ability I had and learning how to talk to girls.

News: Cory Gunz Talks Joining Nicki Minaj & Drake At Young Money, "Shout Out To Wayne For Giving Me A Shot"
Wednesday, May 12, 2010 11:50AM
Rapper Cory Gunz has confirmed his signing to Lil Wayne's Young Money label and spoke on what fans could expect from his upcoming album.
According to Gunz, Wayne will take an executive producing role on the untitled project.
"Shout out to Wayne for giving me a shot. He kept it real. All I'mma say, that this is it. This is what it is. Everybody just better get ready...Wayne is gonna executive-produce the album," he explained in an interview. "I trust his insight. He's going to be overseeing everything. I'm gonna keep doing the things I been doing. I think that's what's gotten me noticed. I'mma just keep my grind moving. Whatever ventures I can do, I'm bringing my family through. My whole team is gonna eat. I'm just telling everybody to get ready...I haven't met Nicki [Minaj] yet. Me and Drizzy met a while back when they was doing the I Am Music Tour in Arizona." (MTV)
Speculation on Wayne signing Gunz developed last March.
Lil Wayne is turning himself in today but last night he spent time live on webcam where he first talked about his recent show with Jay-Z at Madison Square Garden. Wayne later said that Cory Gunz would be the next artist on his Young Money label. "Shout out to my n---a Cory Gunz, about to be the newest member of the Young Money team." Gunz tweeted over the weekend, "LOL. Young Money!!!!!!" (Rap Basement)
Last December, Gunz received praise from actor/rapper Nick Cannon.
"I met Cory when he was like fourteen at a mix show summit and knew he would be doing big things then. This [Adult Swim program] is the project I'm most excited about right now. It's about a one-hit wonder rap group living in Atlanta partying and going to strip clubs, but still making it to church on Sunday." (VIBE)
The rapper is known for having a strong underground buzz.
More recently, Jay-Z shepherded him into a joint venture through Island Def Jam Music Group. He was featured on a remix of Rihanna's "If It's Lovin' That You Want". Cory Gunz The Apprentice 3 - Season Finale has amassed over 55,000 listens on the mixtape website Datpiff. He also contributed a verse to the original version of Lil Wayne's "A Milli" before it was replaced with new verses by Wayne for the album version. (Wikipedia)

"Dancin'" Joe Kelly may have some competition on his hands.
We all sort of knew this day would come. A few days ago, or weeks even, who can really tell at this point in the season, Dan looked into his crystal ball and saw that eventually the unbeatable Joe Kelly would be vanquished.
I don't think Joe Kelly will continue to be as effective as he has this year...
And last night the prophecy was realized and for the first time in 47 days the Great Bespectacled Menace was defeated for his 4th loss of the year.
Last night was a bit of a struggle. I know. I was there. Kelly often found himself behind in counts, but what really hurt him were his wild pitch and two throwing errors, one of which came around to score. He also gave up a home run to Sean Halton, increasing the deficit to 4 - 0.
The Cardinals wouldn't go quietly, however, plating two runs of their own in the fourth and another in the ninth with a Matt Adams homer, his 13th of the year. For the game the Cardinals were 0 - 4 with RISP, a key moment being with David Freese retired in the fourth with two men on.
Tonight the Birdos will get their last taste of inter-league play of the regular season, going against the, now Boogless, Seattle Mariners. On the hill for the Cards will be Adam Wainwright, coming off a start against the Pirates that featured 7 innings of shutout baseball. The Mariners will counter with the 32 year old Japanese righthander, Hisashi Iwakuma. Iwakuma is 12 - 6 with a 2.97 ERA. With the Pirates winning yesterday, the Cardinals are now tied for first place in the central division.
Other important notes:
Bengie and Yadier Molina were not with team Wednesday or Thursday as they were with their mother as she recovers from surgery.
Trevor Rosenthal was also away from the team yesterday as he and his wife were expecting the birth of their first child. They have registered with a baby registry if you were looking to congratulate the couple.
All three are expected to be back today!

News: Eminem Finally Pencils In Big Date, Sets Bar High For "Rap God" Unveiling [Video]
Thursday, Nov 21, 2013 10:42PM
Grammy-winning rapper Eminem is still going hard with the promotion behind his new Marshall Mathers LP 2 solo album by revealing plans to release a music video for hard-hitting track, "Rap God," next week.
If all goes accordingly, Slim Shady fans will see Em's new visual just in time for Thanksgiving.
After teasing fans with a photo of him and Rihanna, insinuating that a video for 'The Monster' was on the way, the Rap God himself releases this 27 second teaser before the full video for 'Rap God' drops on November 27th. Rich Lee directed this visual, which pays homage to the popular TV series 'Max Headroom' from the 80s. This oughta be good. (HHNM)
Although brief with the details, Em's manager Paul Rosenberg recently revealed the visual would likely premiere before Turkey Day.
Rosenberg said the "Rap God" music video is scheduled to come out in about two weeks. And while he won't reveal much about touring plans or what's coming next, he said Eminem fans should be excited. The rapper did perform at a handful of European festivals this summer and is booked to play four gigs in New Zealand and Australia in February. But no U.S. dates have been announced. "Marshall's settled into a good place in his life, carer," Rosenberg said. "He's a lot more comfortable being who he is, and I think that's really going to be beneficial for his fans." (Detroit Free Press)
In early November, Slim Shady managed to snag an "Artist of the Year" trophy and performed "Rap God" at the inaugural YouTube Music Awards.
Fresh off his "SNL" appearance, Eminem was back on stage at the inaugural YouTube Music Awards on Sunday. With some help from Mr. Porter, the Detroit rapper performed his MMLP2 cut "Rap God" against a stark black-and-white set. The Syndrome-directed performance was shot live at New York City's Pier 36 and broadcast around the world. He was also named Artist of the Year, beating out fan favorites including Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and One Direction. (Rap-Up)
Despite crowning himself "Rap God" last month, Em downplayed truly seeing himself as one a few weeks ago.
"I think everything switches back and forth from hour to hour, day by day with me. That whole "Rap God" record pretty much from top to bottom is tongue in cheek. So I mean, do I want to feel like that? Maybe sometimes. Again, it goes back to everybody who competitive raps and does this for just purely the sport of it wants to be the best. Again, that's why Kendrick's verse worked so well because he only said what every rapper's already thinking, If you don't want to be the best, then why are you rapping?" (Rolling Stone)

Newburyport Daily News
---- — To the editor:
I wish to comment on a Daily News article published Thursday, April 25, which reported on the Merrimac selectmen's meeting of Monday, April 22. At that meeting a proposal to use the Wallace Boatyard as a staging platform for the reconstruction of the Whittier Bridge was considered by the selectmen and commented on by several Merrimac residents.
The article incorrectly reported that the Wallace Boatyard of Merrimac was "inactive." This is not an accurate description of the boatyard, which in fact is sporadically in use.
I also wish to state that the article failed to mention that my proposal to lease the boatyard to Walsh Construction for use as a staging area in the reconstruction of the Whittier Bridge was a perfectly legal plan. The selectmen stated that I have the right use my land anyway I wish "as long as the rules are being followed and it complies with the law."
The proposal from Walsh Construction was perfectly legal and would have benefited my family enormously. It was not opposed by the fire chief, police chief, Planning Board or the selectmen and I presented 14 signatures of local residents who did not oppose the plan. I was very disappointed that the proposal did not get fulfilled and that the opportunity was chased away due to the objections of a few neighbors.
