Watch this video first:
JA talks about getting three future starters out of this draft. Chris Harris became a starter after being selected as a hard hitting safety in the 6th round and I believe this kid could possibly follow in those footsteps someday.
It's been a while since we've looked back at the draft but somehow, amid all the discussions of our earlier picks and the talk of our receiving crew and Jay Cutler and the other additions from Michael Gaines to Pisa Tinoisamoa and everything in between, I feel like this kid didn't get his due.
Now, with OTAs wrapping up, Afalava finally gets his chance to show us what he's got. He has missed out on lots of practice time because of the NFL's "Stay In School Program." Although I admire the program, you have to wonder if high-school prospects will, in the future, make decisions on what college to attend based on when commencement ceremonies take place. It just seems that mid/late round picks with late graduation ceremonies will be at a real disadvantage when they miss so many of the OTA's and a chance to prove themselves for a good portion of the off-season.
So how about Al Afalava? Besides being the only guy I've ever seen whose first and last name have an "a" after every other letter and besides his glorious victory in the Oregon State rock, paper, scissors championship, everything else I've read about him is positive. He didn't get all the top accolades in his conference for playing safety but that is understandable when you consider that he had Talyor Mays and Patrick Chung stealing his thunder.
Also, his senior year production was less than expected but as Bears Scout Mary Barrett pointed out here, he played through injury almost all year. His 2007 production was excellent on a great OSU defense.
He did have a strike against him for an off the field incident where he crashed his car into an empty bus shelter, walked home and waited for the police to come get him. All the discussions following his arrest for DUI and 1 game suspension lead me to believe this was an isolated incident and he was contrite and earnest in the way he addressed the mistake.
As far as his play goes, there's not a ton of footage on the kid but the stuff in print makes him sound like quite a hard worker and his coaches loved him.
via media.scout.com
His pro-day results were off the charts (look at his performance and physique in the video below-- prototype Safety size and a bad ass physique.)
Had he been invited to the combine and performed like he did at his pro day, he would have had the overall top measurements for any safety prospect. His measureables vs the top performances turned in at the combine:
1. 40: 4.47 = 3rd
2. Vert: 40" = 3rd
3. Broad jump: 10'7" = 5th
4. Bench = 25 reps (watch the vid, he did 29 but lost 4 because he didn't lock elbows I presume) = 3rd
5. 20 Yard Shutte: 4.06 = 2nd
6. 3 Cone Drill: 6.63 = 4th
7. 60 Yard: 11.05 = 2nd
Believe me, there was nobody who was consistently in the top 5 in that many different categories-- this guy is athletic!
And, we know he can hit-- really hit. Read some of the articles in the links below.
I'm not sure if he can make the adjustment to the pro free safety position right away but if he can and the D line delivers the pressure we want, I'm thinking that he and Payne could team up to deliver a 1-2 punch the likes of which we haven't seen since the Plank/Fencik era. Hell, Urlacher won't need to drop back into coverage any more because no receiver will want to go over the middle against the Bears!
I can't wait to see him in camp and in the pre-season.

Time for redemption
The Axiata Cup is the perfect place for Malaysia's top shuttlers to start their road to redemption.
Former world No. 1 in the men's doubles Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong and world No. 3 mixed pair Chan Peng Soon and Goh Liu Ying are slowly getting back to their best and will look to turn on the style in the richest mixed team badminton event. Although it has been three years since they last won a Superseries title, Kien Keat and Boon Heong have consistently qualified for the semi-finals and finals of the major tournaments and this tournament is the perfect platform for them to showcase their talents.
Liu Ying, who has just recovered from an ankle injury, is also determined to put up a strong performance. Liew Daren, the only other Malaysian apart from Datuk Lee Chong Wei to win a Superseries tournament, will lead the men's singles charge with Chong Wei Feng. Tee Jing Yi will play in the mixed singles while Lim Yin Loo is the back-up for the mixed doubles.
After failing to reach the final of the inaugural tournament, the Malaysian Tigers will be ready to roar loudly in this year's Axiata Cup.

JUNEAU, Alaska — Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Dan Sullivan has reserved some air time past the Aug. 19 primary.
Records filed with the Federal Communications Commission show Sullivan's campaign reserved time in the fall on at least two TV stations.
Sullivan spokesman Mike Anderson says the campaign is not assuming anything but fully expects Sullivan to be the nominee. He said, as such, the campaign needs to be ready to fight on Aug. 20.
Anderson said by email that it's a smart strategy given the intense competition for post-primary airtime.
Sullivan is one of the three highest-profile candidates vying for the Republican nomination. The others are Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell and Joe Miller.
Democratic Sen. Mark Begich is seeking re-election.

Media event set for September 9, launch likely ~10 days later.
Apple 27" Thunderbolt Displays Shipping to Stores
MacRumors has learned that Apple is beginning to ship the new 27" Thunderbolt Display to stores and resellers this week. This means that customers should be able to see and buy the devices very soon. We haven't yet heard any news about early customer orders shipping, but expect those to follow closely.
The new 27" Display adds Thunderbolt compatibility, allowing the displays to act as a docking station using a single Thunderbolt cable. The new display includes a built-in FaceTime HD camera, 2.1 speaker system, three USB ports, one Firewire 800 port, one Gigabit Ethernet port, and a second Thunderbolt port to enable daisy chaining.
The new display also allows the ability to run two displays off of a single Thunderbolt port on Macs offering enough graphics horsepower to support the pixel load.
Apple introduced the new display back in July. It is presently available for pre-order for $999.

I will wait for price drop or might as well as go for 27 inch imac.
Nice. Now give me my "anti-glare" version and I'm sold x2. :D
Exactly why I am now using a Dell 27" monitor. And as long as there is no anti-glare iMac I'd rather replace my old white iMac by a mini.
If I want to see myself, I look in the mirror.
That thing really does not deserve 999 dollars.
I will wait for price drop or might as well as go for 27 inch imac.
A Dell Ultra Sharp of that size will cost you $949.
I wish they worked on PCs as well.
I would love one for my ASP.net development.
Why? You can do better for this amount of money.
A Dell Ultra Sharp of that size will cost you $949.
Nope. $854.69 on Amazon right now.
That thing really does not deserve 999 dollars.
I will wait for price drop or might as well as go for 27 inch imac.
If you're in the market for a 27" monitor at 2560x1440, you'll have a hard time finding one that costs much less than 999 big ones. This was my conclusion before I got the last-gen ACD a while back, and I stand by it now. After buying that ACD, I was also pleasantly surprised by the audio quality of the speakers and sub-woofer too. I ended up scapping plans to buy a 2.1 set for the computer, which would've set me back around $150-200 (that was the budget I had in mind). I know I got my value for $999.
The new ACD has only more features than the last gen, no features removed (correct?), and all this without a price hike -- in spite of significant increases in consumer prices (and the cost of living in general) over the past few years. I'd wholeheartedly endorse the current ACD, as long as you don't have a compelling need for a matte screen. Different ballgame there.
Edit: point well taken about the $854.69 UltraSharp, but I note that it's showing $20.49 for shipping there too. Has anyone here done a side-by-side comparison of the UltraSharp and ACD?

In the realm of relationships between humans and animals, there are few as rewarding or profound as that between man and dog. It's difficult to describe to those who've never had a pet, but a dog will give its loyalty and love wholly and without question. They see us at our best and worst, often remaining by our sides through moves, break-ups, marriages, deaths and more -- ever faithful, ever loving. Once a dog takes root in your life, that presence is one that benefits both and when it ends, that void can be as deep as losing a friend or family member, simply because, they are your friend and family. But unfortunately, America's relationship with canines is a troubled one, with overfilled shelters, puppy mills and abuse still rampant, leading to something of a crisis with millions of dogs put down each year. "One Nation Under Dog: Stories Of Fear, Loss & Betrayal" presents a triptych of stories, looking at these issues from various angles and coming to the conclusion that we need to do more to the animals that give us so much.
The opening section, "Fear," begins the doc on a rather curoius note. Coming off more like a "20/20" segment, we're not sure how this piece exactly fits in with what follows, except to show that one can be overly devoted to their pets to the point of being ignorant of the danger they may pose. As we tend to often forget, dogs are animals, and will revert to their instincts in unfamiliar situations or those in which they feel they are afraid of threatened, leading to bites...or worse. Enter Dr. Robert Taffet. The proud owner of a family of Rhodesian Ridgebacks, he earned the enmity of his neighbors in suburban New Jersey following a string of biting incidents -- were his dogs vicious or were these just random, unlucky occurences? The truth lay somewhere in the middle, but Taffet refused to give up his dogs, spending money on expensive lawyers to fight the mounting lawsuits he faced, until one particulary harrowing event wakes him up to the reality of the situation, and with a heavy heart, he puts down one of his four beloved Rhodesians.
The entire story is a bit sensationalist -- we're not even sure "Fear" is accurate title for the segment, perhaps "Devotion" might be more fitting -- but in its way, it does get the point across of how strong those bonds of attachment can be. And leading into "Loss," it's not hard to understand how far that well of sorrow goes when that connection is broken. This section of the film focuses on just what the title implies, moving from a support group at the San Francisco SPCA, a burial at a pet cemetary and then in an obvious play at a lighter moment, the story of a wealthy, elderly couple who successfully clone their departed dog. The latter feels a bit too goofy and out of place within the context of the rest of the film, but perhaps it's needed because "Betrayal" is the wake-up call 'One Nation Under Dog' builds to, giving an unflinching look at just how much more we need to do as a nation in protecting and caring for our dogs.
The centerpiece of this section -- if you can even call it that -- is an absolutely stomach churning, unedited, three minute video that shows dogs at a shelter being placed in a metal bin and gassed to death. And just when you think that's enough, more dogs are placed inside -- live ones on top of the dead ones -- the lid closed, and more gas pumped in. Hearing the dogs inside before they're about to die will haunt your memory, but it's arguably more sickening that a few moments later, a garbage truck arrives and the bin is casually forklifted, with the bodies unceremoniously dumped in the back. Bob Barker didn't insist every weekday on "The Price Is Right" to spay and neuter your pets without good reason -- there is an overpopulation problem that is exacerbated by an unwillingness to address it with any sense of responsibility.
Another difficult to watch sequence follows an animal rescue group as they raid a puppy mill, which one of the volunteers describes as one of the worst they've ever seen. Multiple wood crates and cages stood wrapped in plastic -- essentially suffocating the dogs -- as they lived crammed in together with each other so for long that some had to be cut out. Dead bodies were left inside to rot, with some dogs using them for warmth, and it wouldn't be hard to argue that some were already beyond rescue or facing serious health issues that the would deal with for the rest of their lives. And yet, pet stores are the biggest customers of puppy mill dogs and animal cruelty laws do little to punish or dissuade those from continuing the practice (and it's this latter subject that is perhaps the biggest missing topic of the documentary). So where do many of these dogs wind up? In a shelter, where for many, their lives will come to end living on a concrete floor, behind a gate, under flourescent lights.
But thankfully, there are heroes out there making a difference. Best illustrating how little it takes rehabilitate a shelter dog, and how much all they want is basic love, care and attention, is John Gagnon of New England PAWS. In one of the film's most touching moments, we see him lasso a gorgeous dog in a shelter -- who is labelled as a "biter" and stands aggressively snarling any time her cage is opened -- and lead her outside, into a field. With patience and a strong, but calm attitude he begins talking and petting the dog, whose tail initially goes flying between her legs in fear....but within moments of continued affection, the dog flops to her side, licking his hand, completely at ease. She's a totally different dog, and one that John has no problem finding a home for after just a month of training.
There's also Julie Adams, who on her immense farm property, cares for over 100 stray or abandoned dogs. As she notes, many of them that come her way have never been cared for, fed, or even given a kind touch, and she allows them to flourish. She also works to find homes for the ones who show the most promise. An interesting subtext to both John and Julie's stories are their own personal backgrounds that undoubtedly shaped them into the people they are now. For John, teenage rage issues he believes allows him to recognize the problems a dog might have rooted in their psyche, allowing him the opportunity to identify and fix it. Meanwhile Julie came from an era where dogs simply weren't considered with the same compassion, and her tales of loss -- which still sting to this day -- are the driving force behind her commitment now.
"He wasn't my child, he wasn't my parent, he wasn't my partner -- he was my dog. We just don't have words for that," a young woman shares in the film. "One Nation Under Dog" does an admirable job of capturing that indescribable spirit that is forged between our dogs and ourselves. By turns heartbreaking and moving, the film at times made this writer want to head down to the local shelter, scoop up all the dogs and go live in the country. What they give and how they enrich our lives is immeasurable, and 'One Nation Under Dog' simply asks that we give back to them, as much as they have given us. [B]
"One Nation Under Dog: Stories Of Fear, Loss & Betrayal" airs on HBO tonight at 9 PM.

I can say from my gut I am a changed person from watching this documentary. The third short labeled "Betrayal" was so shocking I literally screamed "NO!" So many times and so loudly the front office of my high rise called to make sure I was ok and someone wasn't trying to gas me in a metal box!! I have never had a reactionlike that to something on TV before. You couldn't possibly offer an amount for me to do that job. I think you have to have no sole to do it,especially the way he was. . They deserved more respect than that. I had never seen this "tactic" of putting them down. I have volunteered for years and still was ignorant about how they took care of "Death row" . I honestly Had no idea. No creature deserves that kind of ending. Their little faces as he continually loaded them into that metal container was traumatizing and cut me to the bone. . My heart hurts as I am typing about it now. After I forced myself through the entire thing I must have stared in silence at the wall for a good 20 minutes. Asking myself why I hadn't educated myself?What can I do? Do I try to collect & throw money at it until it stops? Maybe I should start with my state? I know some states are outlawing it. Will mon ey change a damn thing? I know we have to attack the issue at the root cause. How can I make a difference and where in the f$&ck do I start? i encouraged people I know to watch it. Not to hurt them obviously, but to raise awareness. I warned them first of course before I got any nasty phone calls or emails. What can I do for them??? This has to stop.

I volunteer with three rescues/shelters in my area (near Chicago), so when I came across this film, ai thought, hey...Why not watch this. And beginning from the euthanization of Duke and on...I was a sobbing mess. I have never cried so hard during a movie in my life. The gas chamber is maybe the worst thing I have ever witnessed. I do think everyone should see this movie. It did inspire me to continue to help, but also to think of ways to SOLVE this problem once and for all. My husband tells me we will always have homeless dogs, just like homeless people. Overpopulation is a tough ordeal to solve...but we have to keep trying. These poor dogs break my heart and this movie will stick with me forever.
Simone | July 2, 2012 6:47 PM
Watching this immediately made me think of the HOLOCAUST. Putting dogs/cats down the way they showed is one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen. I never cried so hard! We need to convert to an ALL NO KILL SOCIETY!! This documentary is a big wake-up call! I just hope it reaches the people that will learn from it as opposed to the people who already know!
Kathy | June 25, 2012 10:27 AM
very powerful statement about how we treat dogs in this country.Watch this - its an eye-opener. I sobbed and cried for 1 hour and 14 minutes. Dogs are my favorite beings on this planet. Hard to watch.....
Ali | June 24, 2012 11:42 PM
This is sooo sad!! I cant stand people like that, have a heart!! Man the punishment I would give for those who do this and I would have every puppy mill shut down!!! And every shelter a no kill!! So dam stupid... Politicians complain they have no money yet they spend billions of dollars on stupid shit. Especially the mayor in NYC. Like changing st sign from all caps to lower caps so people can see better, or the st in time square. Use that money for more shelters for animals and people. I will make a difference one day!! Sorry for these animals.
Ron | June 23, 2012 8:18 PM
VERY disturbing documentary. But I agree, the story needs to be told. I've always been meaning to join the ASPCA and after watching this show, joined immediately while the credits will rolling. I've always purchased dogs from breeders but my next pooch will definitely be a rescue. My wife was never a dog person but once we got married she converted. I think she loves our Doberman more than me sometimes but thats ok. :)
Diana | June 23, 2012 5:22 PM
I haven't cried that much in a long time, although the dogs that were "humanely" euthanized got the better end of the stick than those that had to, and still have to, live in the deplorable conditions the puppy mill dogs do. I do not understand how people can be so disgusting as to do that to beautiful little creatures. It hurts my heart to know that there is that much suffering out there, not to mention the other pets like cats, rabbits, etc.
Mars | June 23, 2012 12:59 AM
I came across this doc while flipping tonight and as a animal lover, it immediately resonated with me. I wish I had read an advance of it's subject matter though, for it might have prepared me for the "betrayal" segment. I had never seen animals euthanized like this, and naively, I wasn't sure what was going to happen to them once placed in the box. I burst into tears as soon as I saw them turn the gas. The sounds of those beautiful, unwanted, innocent dogs will haunt me forever. However, if I can spin a positive, it was a wake-up call to learn that this type of abuse is being perpetuated by "shelters" entrusted to care for the animals, and worse still, that more are euthanized inhumanely than not. I've heard the numbers before, the Bob Barker msgs, the ASPCA commercials. I don't dispute their sadness, but for the average person, they're easy enough to put the numbers or images out of their heads, and go about their day, maybe with a promise to themselves to send funds next pay day. By contrast, this heartbreaking footage doesn't allow the viewer the luxury of post-dating a response. Should be mandatory viewing for everyone. This front row view of the horrifying consequences of irresponsibility and apathy should be mandatory viewing. It might inspire more people to fight for the dignity and rights of animals. I couldn't watch the film after hearing the cries of those dogs. Does anyone know if the people responsible for gassing the dogs were named? Love to drop them a line in prison, but more than likely, they're still getting away with murder.

I had to turn down the volume during the gas chamber scene and turn away. I've known for years that they do this so once they were bringing them out I knew what was going to happen :-(...unfortunately, people really need to see what is going on and maybe take a stand. Even at this very moment they are trying to ban gas chambers in Utah and a petition is going around. Many have no clue this is even going on so government officials don't get much pressure to close them down. Now I'm praying that many will be outraged and do something about.
I also see many want to help animals and contribute any way they can. After watch this, I found Julie Adams and New England Paws on Facebook. Julie is the woman with over 100 rescue dogs on her farm. I really would love to see her get more help for all she does. She has an amazon wish list so trying to spread the word about it, her story really touched me. Items are in all price ranges, many inexpensive items for those who would love to do more but just can't at the moment. I'm sure anything she received is greatly appreciated.

As long as man is on this earth...the animal suffering will continue..FOREVER....
Phelicia Traver | June 21, 2012 11:13 AM
This was one of the most compelling and heart wrenching documentaries I have ever seen. Being a mom to two rescued male Chihhuhuas were were both abused as puppies, I can only imagine the horrors they endured before they came to me. If I had it in my power I would be like the women with the farm and save all the dogs. Big or small. The best relationship in life is the one you have with your dog! You cannot ask for a more loyal or loving friend!! God bless all of the dogs.
Kevin | June 20, 2012 11:57 PM
I have saved over 600 dogs from pounds and puppy mills. This show doesn't show have the horror that goes on. For the most part people turn there head and pretend that things like this don't happen. Please people make a difference and do something.. It's murder!!!
The Playlist | June 19, 2012 11:29 PM
The dogs being euthanized scene -- iIn that horrific gas chamber with their human-like screaming and near-pleas: utterly haunting.
Tim | June 19, 2012 8:08 PM
Absolutely disturbing documentary. Some of the things that were shown during this show, should have not been told/seen. I understand that "puppy-mills" are over run with dogs, but the show did not have to actually show/be heard the crying and then not crying of the dogs. This show was over the top.
flor | June 19, 2012 5:40 PM
I support as many organizations as I can and its not enough. I love my dogs, and cats. But you can't change stupid people and corrupt states at support the evil puppy mills. They should be banned and the people arrested.
Wendy | June 19, 2012 3:46 PM
My husband and I watched this last night and it made us sad and angry. However, it is the hard truth. Although many of us love and care for our dogs deeply, still others do not. Both of our dogs were rescues- one neglected from a puppy mill and the other neglected from an Amish Farm. We have been so blessed and would love to have a hundred more if we could.
Cheyenne | June 19, 2012 3:42 PM
I stumbled on this documentary last night and it was a tough one. I love dogs so much, I have a tatoo of my dog who passed away in 2009, I am a faithful contributer to many dog organizations every paycheck. I was horrified about the gas chamber scene. That is one of those things I wish I never seen, because that image and awful sounds will haunt me for the rest of my life. I really had no idea that we were allowing that awful treatment to unwanted pets. I assumed that unwanted pets were each given shots and put to sleep. Which in itself was awful (I lost my Tyson to old age, 14 and spinal cord rupture, which we decided to put him down) but peaceful. I want to do more to save those dogs being gassed. Those puppies could have been saved! They looked so scared and had no idea that was their last minute of life. Awful, Awful. I wish I could find out where they did this because I would drive there and try to help save these loving dogs. There were a few great stories as well, but the horror outweighed the good. I just feel like I need to do more. I have 3 pound puppies now that I love so much, I just held them and told them this was their forever family, we will have these great dogs until their natural end.
ANGIE | June 19, 2012 3:10 PM
I watched this last night and I wept. It was a true eye opener on what is going on in our country with our shelters, etc. It made me want to hold all of my dogs a little bit tighter. I think everyone should watch it!
DanL | June 19, 2012 12:49 PM
Watched this show last night. Truly heartbreaking. We adopted a "lost cause" dog just about a year ago. She has flourished and has become the sweetest, most affectionate and obedient dog you could ask for. Everyone that meets her loves her instantly. All she needed was a chance. So many great dogs out there just hoping for the same...
LynneNJ | June 19, 2012 10:24 AM
Please don't look away at the horror. Cry. Get sick. Get pissed and DO SOMETHING.
joni, Georgia | June 19, 2012 10:04 AM
It may be hard to watch, but unfortunately, especially in the southern states of this GREAT country.. its a cold hard truth. Heart Sticking is another terrible way of euthanasia. This is one of the dirty little secrets in America that no one wants to see, discuss... its time to take the head out of the sand and do something to initiate a change. This is something you could imagine in 3rd world countries... We need spay and neuter laws and breeders should be licensed much like RESCUERS have to be!
Mel | June 19, 2012 8:22 AM
This was a great look at the dichotomy between how some American pets are pampered while others are abused, neglected or abandoned to be dealt with by overrun shelters. Please don't buy, adopt! And spay & neuter!
Steve | June 18, 2012 8:57 PM
Dogs being put to death with gas? I just cannot watch this.

Temple broke ground on its new Salvation Army center on Monday. The McLane Center of Hope will assist those in need within the community.
The new Salvation Army center was made possible thanks to the generous donation of $1 million from the McLane family.
Captain Bill Shafer of Temple's Salvation Army says they look forward to serving those in need and helping them get back on their feet
"There's a lot of need in the community off of Avenue G and 9th Street, it's just a perfect corner for the Salvation Army to do the most good," Shafer said.
The building process for the center begins in the fall and will be completed by early 2014.

Gladstone Elementary School was temporarily placed on lockdown Wednesday afternoon after shots were fired nearby.
No one was injured and the shots were near a home in the Old Northeast area of Kansas City.
The school was placed on lockdown as a precaution. This occurred about 3 p.m.
The home is at 4446 Scarritt St. The school is at 335 N. Elmwood Ave.
Police initially thought the school was targeted, but decided that was not the case.
Police said teenagers sitting on the home's front porch were involved and they found one of the parties involved after finding that person on the porch playing with a shell casing.

WWE is across the pond on a tour of the United Kingdom and that means tonight's (Nov. 11, 2013) episode of Monday Night Raw is emanating from the Phones 4u Arena in Manchester, England. Because of that, the show will air on tape delay on USA later on this evening.
That means spoilers are available right now, which you can read below. Be sure to refresh often as new updates come in.
- The show opens with a power struggle between Randy Orton, Brad Maddox, Kane, and Vickie Guerrero, who all assume they are the ones who are in charge of the show tonight. This after Triple H already openly said Kane was supposed to be running things. Or whatever. Eventually, Guerrero won out with her booking Orton vs. the Rhodes brothers in a handicap match.
- Rhodes brothers def. Orton via count out after Orton pulled Fandango's heel walkout finish. As the WWE champion was trying to walk to the back, Big Show came out and destroyed him, putting him through the announce desk at ringside. They tried a stretcher job but Orton walked off on his own.
- Los Matadores & Santino Marella def. 3MB in a six-man tag, which makes Matadores vs. 3MB for the 879th time. Marella got the pin on this one, though, with the Cobra. And it had horns, by the way. Yeah.
- Backstage segment with Randy Orton, Kane, Maddox, and Guerrero all getting into it after the opening power struggle and Orton getting upset about Show's attack on him.
- Damien Sandow def. Kofi Kingston in a nothing match the crowd struggled to get into.
- Curtis Axel def. Dolph Ziggler to retain the Intercontinental championship. He still hasn't won with the Perfectplex, though, as he got the pinfall on the neckbreaker.
- More arguing backstage, this time between Kane and Maddox. In the process, two matches are made: John Cena vs. Real Americans and Daniel Bryan & CM Punk vs. The Shield.
- Tamina def. Nikki Bella after some interference from AJ Lee. Brie Bella made the save but only after the match was over.
- Another backstage segment sees Randy Orton run into The Shield and demand to know why they didn't help him out when Show was kicking his ass. They simply said they don't work for him and he need not be concerned where they were or what they were doing.
- Fandango def. Tyson Kidd in a match that was made due to events that occurred on Total Divas months ago. Remember when Kidd was jealous that Natalya, his wife, was training with Fandango? Yeah, that was paid off here.
- Zeb Colter cut a promo before Real Americans took on John Cena. Considering the geography, he had plenty of material but apparently the crowd didn't want to hear his schtick. Cena ended up winning the match, by the way, submitting Jack Swagger. Antonio Cesaro was over big with this crowd. A babyface turn surely must be coming soon, right?
- Alberto Del Rio attacked Cena after his victory, doing the old arm in the chair gimmick. Guess who made the save? None other than Big E. Langston.
- R-Truth def. Ryback via roll up after THE BIG GUY missed on the meathook clothesline.
- Alberto Del Rio def. Big E. Langston with the Cross Armbreaker. Apparently the wave made a comeback because few were interested in the actual match.
- Paul Heyman returned to TV in a wheelchair and banged up. Curtis Axel wheeled him out so he could cut a promo on what happened at Hell in a Cell. In short, Heyman blames Ryback and the fans for what his getting injured at the hands of the dastardly CM Punk. He also vowed to get his revenge once he recovers but Punk came out and delivered another beatdown for good measure.
- Daniel Bryan & CM Punk vs. The Shield had no finish after the Wyatt Family interrupted. The lights went out right when Dean Ambrose was going to tap to the Yes! Lock and when they came back up, the Wyatt clan was in the ring. A brawl with The Shield broke out until they united against their common enemy, Bryan and Punk. The Usos and Rhodes brothers evened the scored and the babyfaces cleared the ring to end the taping.
That's the show, folks. Your thoughts?

Book Description:
What is it about the structure and organisation of science and technology that has led to the spectacularly successful growth of knowledge during this century? This book answers this important and much debated question in an innovative way, by using computer simulations. The computer simulation of societies and social processes is a methodology which is rapidly becoming recognised for its potential in the social sciences. This book will be among the first to apply the tools of simulation systematically to a specific domain: science and technology studies. The first introductory section is followed by three application areas: simulations of scientific discovery and theory formation; evolutionary models of science and technology; and models which explore the conditions and dependencies of scientific work.

CATEGORIES Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fandom, 20th Century Fox, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels, Images, CinematicalOh, X-Files. There was a time in say, 1996, when the sight of these photos would have sent me racing to the official X-Phile board, logging in under my screen name IMScully33 (and yes, if you see it in the AICN Talkbacks -- that is me), and engaging in excited speculation.
Now I can only rouse a mild interest in these spy photos, courtesy of Flynet Online and fresh from the set of The Untitled X-Files Sequel. It's my duty to warn you of spoilers (although I pretty much gave it away in that title) but I have to say. . .is this really a spoiler? Didn't Mulder and Scully have sex off-screen and produce a child, thus rendering this pretty unexciting?
The time for them to kiss was back in X-Files: Fight the Future -- and you let us down, Chris Carter. Stop trying to make up for that off screen consummation!
This truly causes me pain. It brings to mind my blissfully misspent youth, which I spent pondering aliens, conspiracy theories, and buying all those episode guides. I was even a Scully lookalike at the tender age of 17. (I even appeared in an issue of The Official X-Files Magazine. I was that good.) In so many ways, The X-Files helped make me the geek I am today -- and also the bitter cynic who sits snarking on this post now. I want it to be 1996 again so I'm actually excited by the release of a second X-Files movie, and sighing over the possibility that two brilliant and lonely FBI Agents will get together.

MEDFORD (WAOW) - A judge on Tuesday refused to reduce the bail for a Rib Lake woman accused of trying to kill herself and four of her children by carbon monoxide poisoning.
Heidi S. Mann, 37, made her initial appearance in Taylor County Circuit Court on four counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide.
During a 10-minute hearing, a judge denied a request to reduce Mann's bail from $200,000 to $5,000. The judge agreed to revisit the issue if Mann was accepted into a treatment facility.
According to the criminal complaint, Mann told investigators she tried to kill herself and her four youngest children in March because of a pending divorce and she didn't think they would understand it.
She said she wanted the five of them to "be in heaven" together so she put them in an SUV and let the engine run in a closed garage for two hours, the complaint said.
The children survived without any apparent effects.
Mann's attorney and the prosecutor declined comment Tuesday after the hearing.
A central Wisconsin woman accused of trying to kill four of her six children to spare them the pain of her divorce is scheduled to make her initial appearance in court.
Thirty-seven-year-old Heidi S. Mann of Rib Lake is charged with four counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide.
She's due in Taylor County court Tuesday afternoon.
The criminal complaint quotes Mann as telling investigators she didn't think her four youngest kids would understand about the divorce.
She said she wanted the five of them to "be in heaven" together, so she allegedly put them in an SUV and let the engine run in a closed garage for two hours.
The children survived without any apparent effects.
They're 3, 6 and 9 and 12.
Defense attorney Shawn Paul declined to comment.

Flavorpill is now a social platform, where you can find not only editor picks but also see what your friends are doing. This site, archive.flavorpill.com, will no longer be updated... Welcome to the future!

7360 Beverly Blvd
Various prices
"Playa is the newest restaurant opened by John Rivera Sedlar, whose downtown restaurant, Rivera, earned great acclaim after its 2009 opening. Playa's beautiful Beverly Blvd. space has a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere, but the real star is the remarkable pan-Latin cuisine. Sedlar creates highly original small-plate versions of indigenous Latin dishes influenced by his travels to South America, Spain, and Central America. His trip to Spain with olive-oil expert Alfonso J. Fernandez inspired Sedlar to use only the best-quality olive oils from Spain in his restaurant, a touch that greatly enhances Sedlar's lively, unique flavors. His pork carpaccio, made of high-quality artisanal Ibérico pork sliced tissue thin and finished with the aforementioned olive oil from Spain, is phenomenal, melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Other excellent dishes include the piquillo relleno, a piquillo pepper deliciously stuffed with cheese, raisins, and chorizo; savory corn flan topped with black quinoa and artfully served in a corn husk bowl; and loup de mer with five sauces. The excellent desserts include a blue corn cake made with olive oil and topped with almond ice cream. Playa's master mixologists' cocktails include the Streetfighter, a dreamy concoction of white rum, coconut cream, turmeric, pineapple, and mint. Playa is an altogether exciting addition to the Los Angeles restaurant scene."
The name "Playa" doesn't refer to geography but to the spirit of L.A.'s open-air, laid-back, coastal lifestyle. In its concept, food, drinks, design, and scene, Playa expresses a relaxed new urban Latin vibe as envisioned by chef/owner John Rivera Sedlar and the creative team who have helped him make the restaurant a reality.

So I happen to think that YouTube is like the greatest thing ever on the internet. So I thought I'd bless this page with some of its hilarious comedy. Of course you have the classics that started the whole thing oh so long ago. In fact this makes me feel so old because most of the originals are from like my Sophomore and Junior year of high school. I'm a senior in college now. Man time flies.
Check out the big guy from Numa Numa
Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday
Afro Ninja, not as popular, but still hilarious
My personal favorite from high school: The Star Wars Kid
And you can't forget Dramatic Hamster Look
These were like the original viral videos of youtube and in the case of some way before that. Star Wars Kid for example has been around for about a decade and the original posters have been sued and that case against one of the kids involved is actually still pending, at least it was the last time I checked. This was before the Soulja Boy and Lady Gaga videos attracted hundreds of millions of views.
Currently these are the things that I enjoy watching many times over.
Antoine Dodson - Bed Intruder Song. This just went on the internet 6 days ago and already has over 3.5 million views. Watch the original newsclip it came from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMtZfW2z9dw and it just adds to the humor
BED INTRUDER SONG!!! (via schmoyoho)
And Literal Trailers by Tobuscus always kill me. He goes through and reads off the action as it happens on the screen. Here's an example of the best one in my opinion.
Tron Legacy Literal Trailer Parody
And then of course you have the Old Spice Guy and all of his various commercials and responses to people, which was an example of great marketing that ultimately doesn't influence sales because many men are stuck in their ways and oftentimes do not just switch deodorants, body washes, or any thing dealing with hygiene very often. Because of that Old Spice sales have actually continued to go down the drain, but I'm glad they still have a good enough sense of humor to keep the ads running. lol, but this is not marketing class so I'm going to stop rambling now.
If you read the post you'll know what this means. If you don't know what it means, I'll know and I shall smite thee with my almighty posting powers. lol. jk, but for real watch the videos and contribute more of your favorites below.

Investigators suspect arson in a Saturday morning fire that completely destroyed a Millville house. No one was injured in the blaze.
According to the Panama City Fire Department, firefighters responded to the three alarm fire at 340 Center Avenue at 10:51 a.m. They found heavy smoke and flames coming from the one-story structure and went inside to fight the fire, but extreme smoke and heat forced them back outside.
Investigators said a witness reported seeing a person leave the house less than an hour before the fire. The house was vacant and had no utility service; police suspect a fire started for cooking got out of control.

For more than 5000 years, placenta has been used in Chinese traditional medicine for the purpose of rejuvenation and for treatment of various chronic diseases. In particular, it was believed that placenta would enhance liver and kidney function as well as reverse infertility and impotence. Scientific research has indeed shown that a term placenta contains large amounts of growth factors, hormones, cytokines, antibodies, amino acids, vitamins and minerals that all have potential benefits for repair and regeneration processes in cells, tissues and organs. Clinical experience has demonstrated that treatment with placental tissue or extracts thereof can improve circulation, inhibit inflammation, enhance autonomous nervous system regulation, speed up wound healing, balance hormone levels and boost the immune system.
Placenta and baby share the same uterus, genes and heritage until the time of birth. As a biochemical treasure house, the placenta is supporting the baby's growth and development in the womb during the entire pregnancy. At the same time, it facilitates a tight co-operation between the needs of the baby and those of the mother. At birth, placenta contains a wide range of biologically active substances including those, which the human foetus is unable to make. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that premature ageing, as well as chronic degenerative diseases and other ailments can be treated successfully with placental tissue or placenta extracts. Administration of placenta in these conditions has resulted in improved function of metabolic processes within the cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, musculoskeletal, and central nervous systems thereby relieving symptoms and slowing down ageing.
Most of us hope for a long meaningful life and nobody wants to be burdened with poor health, fast degeneration, or pain as they age. Throughout history, mankind always has searched for the proverbial "fountain of youth". Our modern conventional health care systems have indeed brought us a longer life expectancy through high-tech medicine and acute crisis management. However, they have failed terribly in the fields of premature ageing, chronic degenerative diseases and cancer. It is hoped that the knowledge gained from empirical, bio-energetic and integrated biological medicine will impart a longer life with vitality. We are all aware of show business personalities and other celebrities of our time, for whom the ageing process appears to have stopped. They continue to look well, be attractive, and they are in great shape, even in old age. Certainly, healthy nutrition, exercise and plastic surgery may play an important role here, but with more than mere appearance, these famous people continue to exude an aura and body language that identifies them with younger age groups. The reason is that many of them frequent the famous clinic spas and medical centres in Europe, which specialise in regeneration and, specifically, in the medically respected techniques of cellular, RNA and placenta therapy. These treatment modalities have made it possible for these celebrities to maintain a very active lifestyle that otherwise would be impossible. The recipients seem to retain the vitality of youth, making it possible to enjoy the fruits of success well into their senior years.
Ageing is one of the most natural processes and, strictly speaking, defines earthly life's time limit. All earthly life is subject to wear and deterioration, a process which, in fact, begins shortly after birth. Mankind has always dreamed of halting the degenerative ageing process and turning back the clock to attain eternal youth. Nature, of course, always denied us fulfilment of this age old wish. Although the degenerative ageing process is inevitable, it can be reduced or dramatically slowed with OCEANTA therapy.
What is OCEANTA = OCEAN PLACENTA therapy?
OCEANTA therapy is an integrated, multi-dimensional biological therapy, which is the most advance, patented with state of the art freeze-drying manufacturing process. OCEANTA therapy actually "wakes up" dormant cells within the human body, thereby stimulating growth and function of existing tissue and repairing or regenerating old and malfunctioning cells.
OCEANTA therapy offers something that vitamins, minerals and other conventional or natural treatments cannot. It can provide the exact components necessary for injured or diseased tissue to heal and regenerate. While most pharmaceutical drugs work by suppressing certain symptoms over a short period of time and only as long as they are taken, OCEANTA therapy stimulates the body's own healing and revitalising powers and exerts a long term effect.
OCEANTA therapy, on the other hand, purports to supply non-human, low antigenic, genetic cellular components by tissue injection to renew biological function. Pharmaceuticals tend to work symptomatically and not causally. In effect, the drugs only work as long as we are taking them, whereas placenta therapy, as a biological treatment, has a longer term effect without the fear of dangerous side effects.
The Characteristic of OCEANTA:

That was good. Yesterday turned into a marathon work day, there was no hope of fitting in any exercise, I only got home from a dinner and talk in the evening around 9:30, still had a couple more bits and pieces I had to clear before I could start winding down. Inevitably this is the sort of night where I have terrible insomnia - first lay down around 11:30, but didn't actually get to sleep till 2:30 or so. In the meantime I changed the alarm setting from 6:30 to 7:30, but really I was horribly awake at 6:30 anyway (and can tell, from how sore my jaws and teeth are this morning, that I must have been insanely clenching my jaw shut all night!).
I have been playing fast and loose with the recovery week schedule, alas. I rode for just under 2 hours in Central Park, which is acceptable (no time for a run off the bike - I'll run longish in South Carolina tomorrow morning, and bring a second set of running clothes in case I also feel the urge for a short run on Sunday morning). It is a beautiful morning - for a run! No, seriously, it was pretty nice for a bike ride too, only a little chilly still (but definitely spring rather than winter - 48F is what it says right now on the NYT website); I was envious of the runners....
I AM A SLOW CYCLIST. But getting out there is the only way to get faster.
(I still hate riding on the street between here and the park. Coming back it was especially bad, there was a comically horrible line-up of all my least favorite vehicles, it is like an obstacle course out there: bus, trash truck, pothole, bus, delivery truck, pothole....)
1:55, 25.26mi., avg. speed 13.8mph, avg HR 128, max HR 153 (zone 1: 1:03:59; zone 2: 38:53; zone 3: 8:03; zone 4: 1:20)

Do you think you'll be safe for the cutoffs? Of course, you will ride faster on a closed race course!

Make sure you are doing some hill training. I rented a bike when I was in NYC last and rode around Central Park. If that is all you are doing for on-the-road training, you are going to be in for a surprise.
Get those hills in! You can thank me later!

Eating for 2: Your RA Pregnancy Diet
After pregnancy, exercising can help you lose weight and maintain that loss. But, it can be hard to find the time and energy to exercise when you have a newborn at home. And if you're having an RA flare, it can be doubly challenging.
"The most dramatic weight loss occurs in the first six weeks after delivery, and most women are not doing significant exercise during this time," Monga says. When you get the all-clear from your obstetrician that it is OK to start exercising, you might want to start by walking, not running. "You want to avoid things that put force on knee joints and hip joints," Monga says.
Although there's no specific link between RA and diet, some women may find that certain foods make them feel worse. "If there are any foods that tend to trigger a flare for you, avoid them during the postpartum period where a flare is considered more likely," Greene says. "For some of my patients, this means avoiding red meat."
If you have RA, you may have a higher risk of heart disease. Greene often helps women make heart-healthy food choices during pregnancy and afterward. "We discuss good fats that can raise levels of high density lipoprotein or 'good' cholesterol, fiber, and other foods that can really improve heart health and aid in weight loss," Greene says. That means the kind of fats found in olive oil and canola oil, fish like salmon, and nuts like walnuts and almonds, as opposed to the kind found in fried and processed foods.
Proper nutrition for mom and baby during breastfeeding are also popular topics in Greene's office. "This is especially important if women are taking steroids because the baby needs calcium too," she says.

I've sometimes been bothered by the notion that in Noetherian local ring, the annihilator of the maximal ideal could be nonzero. This is bothersome primarily because in practice, one never sees interesting examples of this occurrence. I recently was thinking about this and realized that an easy argument shows that there are, and can be, no interesting examples.
Let be a (commutative) Noetherian local ring, with maximal ideal and residue field . Let be the annihilator of . Then the -action on factors through ; i.e., is a -vector space. Moreover, since is finitely generated ( being Noetherian), it is a finitely-generated vector space, and hence of finite length as an -module.
There is a natural ring structure on (this is essentially the associated graded construction, since ). Originally, I had a paragraph here claiming that is necessarily isomorphic to ; however, I had not really thought about it carefully, and I did not actually have an argument for this. If this is true, it implies that can be reconstructed from and the length (= rank = dimension over ) of , which would give some credence to my claim that there can be "no interesting examples." Any comments from readers are welcome.

Site previously eyed up by Tesco could house 75 homes (From Halstead Gazette)

Site previously eyed up by Tesco could house 75 homes
3:00pm Tuesday 18th February 2014 in News
More than 75 homes could be built on woodland previously eyed by Tesco.
The supermarket giant had looked set to build on the 4.4 acre site, known as land east of Halstead High Street, but its plans for a new 2,825m2 store were rejected by Braintree Council in January last year.
The consortium of six landowners who own the site, including Braintree Council, appointed Savills to remarket it in October and a buyer could now selected as soon as April.
Savills admitted it expected interest from housing developers.
Justin Bates, of the agent's development team, said: "We have been instructed by a consortium of landowners including Braintree Council to market the site, which we anticipate will generate interest from residential developers."
According to a local surveyor, the site would likely house about 75 or 80 homes.

We knew it was only a matter of time before the tobacco industry unleashed a media barrage that would attempt to confuse voters about Proposition 29, the initiative on the June ballot that seeks to raise the tobacco tax to increase funding for cancer research.
After all, cigarette companies make big profits selling a product that, while potentially lethal, is highly addictive. Given that a higher tobacco tax would discourage smokers and cut into profits, tobacco companies have an enormous stake in ensuring that Proposition 29 is defeated.
And so we are now seeing the first salvo in their misinformation campaign. Watch out for a television ad that attempts to convince you that doctors actually oppose Proposition 29, which The Bee and many health groups have endorsed.
The tobacco industry had to look far and wide to find a physician willing to join this scurrilous campaign. But they have found one in Dr. La Donna Porter, who signed a ballot statement opposing Proposition 29. She now appears in an ad bemoaning that the initiative would create a "huge new research bureaucracy" with not a penny going to cancer treatment.
The latter claim is hugely misleading. The research Prop. 29 would fund could well lead to new treatments, not just for tobacco-related cancers, but all cancers. Also misleading is the suggestion that doctors don't support Prop. 29.
As Dr. James T. Hay, president of the California Medical Association, said in a statement this week, "Earlier this year, CMA's 50 member Board of Trustees voted without objection to support Prop. 29 because our organization strongly believes in protecting public health. This initiative will provide vital funding to make advances in the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer, heart disease and other smoking-related illnesses
"Past experience proves that raising cigarette taxes is successful in helping people to quit smoking, and perhaps most importantly, keeping kids from ever taking up the habit
"Sadly, it appears that Big Tobacco will say and do anything to try to confuse voters. No one should be surprised; they have been lying to the public for decades, telling one Congressional committee after another that their products were 'safe' or 'non-addictive.' "
Voters should do their research and make up their own minds on Proposition 29. But please, don't base your vote on the talking points of tobacco companies. They will use every distortion to keep selling their deadly products.

Appeal to track down owners of painting stolen near Tetbury in 1994 (From Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard)

Appeal by the Art Loss Register to track down owners of painting The Arrest stolen near Tetbury in 1994
Updated 10:42am Monday 1st April 2013 in News By Ian Craig
AMATEUR detectives are being asked to strap on their deerstalkers to help track down the owner of a painting stolen from a home near Tetbury almost 20 years ago.
The Arrest – a 28in by 36in oil painting by 19th century artist Charles Rossiter – was stolen from an address near Tetbury in January 1994 but was recovered last year by The Art Loss Register (ALR).
However, the owner of the painting cannot be found and the London-based organisation – which works to track down helping track down lost or stolen pieces of art and reunite them with their owners – has appealed to Standard readers for help.
Alice Farren-Bradley from ALR said the organisation works with police, insurers, underwriters and loss adjusters to identify owners, but in this case had been unsuccessful.
"We have been speaking to Gloucestershire police but, because of the date, they no longer have the details of the theft," she said. "It's not that common but it does happen."
She added the painting's rightful owner will be required to prove it is theirs, for example by producing a certificate of ownership or a photograph with it in.
"It's the sort of work that is not of a high financial value but of a sentimental value," she said.
The painting came to light when previous owners – who did not know it had been stolen –offered it for sale.
A spokesman from Gloucestershire police said it may still be possible to identify the original record of the crime but it is an extremely complex process due to the length of time and the change in the force's systems over the past 20 years.
Anyone who can help can contact ALR on 0207 841 5789 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Canon C500 4K Short Film 'ALEX' Puts the Camera Through Its Paces
Aside from the short film Man & Beast shot by Jeff Cronenweth, ASC, there hasn't been much footage showing off what the already shipping Canon C500 is capable of. Since it has the same sensor and identical internal recording, footage shot right on the cards within the camera should be similar, if not identical to that of the Canon C300. What most people (including me) really want to see, however, is more footage that has been recorded externally using the superior RAW output of the C500. That's exactly what DP Nino Leitner has done with a new short film, ALEX. Click through to check it out. More »
Nino Leitner's Canon C300 Test Film and Review
I've said that for all intents and purposes the RED SCARLET-X and Canon C300 are the same price and shipping at the same time, and even though production units of the SCARLET-X started shipping first, it's interesting that there's a lot more C300 footage out there than there is SCARLET stuff. This is partly due to the fact that the first SCARLET units are likely in the hands of pro RED acolytes like Steven Soderbergh, David Fincher, Peter Jackson, and Greg Williams, and those guys are too busy to post camera tests or reviews — but Nino Leitner has just posted a C300 review and a short.

The Book Booth is a weekly feature at The Political Carnival, relating news, notes, and reflections from the world of books and publishing. SeattleDan, along with his wife, SeattleTammy, are operators of both an on-line bookstore, as well a brick and mortar in small town Washington State. Both have been in the book business since shortly after the Creation, or close to 6000 years now.
Well, we don't have a lot of Irish content in this weeks post, but SeattleTammy and I wish you all a fine weekend celebrating the patron saint of Ireland who, legend has it, drove the snakes from the Emerald Isle. Be sure to be wearin' the green and singin' along with some Clancy Brothers.
I'd never stereotype the Irish as a pugnacious group, but there have been a few Irish that have been known to throw a punch or two. With that in mind, we'll start with literary battles of past years. Joseph Brassey over at HuffPo remembers a few classic fight scenes, among them, The Princess Bride. Hello, My name is Inigo Montoya, You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Of course, the pen is mightier than the sword. Instead of fisticuffs, one could write a book and simply be inspired by the nasty dedications provided by Mentalfloss.
From the feisty to the sublime. Flavorwire, our favorite list place, has ten literary lists that read as poetry. I particularly like Thelonious Monk's advice to avoid the hecklers.
Venturing into the annals of literary history, The Guardian posted this essay on Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels and the satire of the scientific age of early 18th century England. (Swift, I should note, was Irish).
I am told that the film version of On the Road is in theaters in selected venues, which means it will never come to my little town. It would have been interesting to see what Marlon Brando would have done with it, had he taken up Kerouac's suggestion to make the movie. From Letters of Note, via Publishers Weekly.
And the Hemingway Project has this lovely profile of Sylvia Beach, bookseller and first publisher of Joyce's Ulysses. I spent many a fine hour to her successor store, Shakespeare and Company, many years ago. I'd love to return, one of these days.
There is a new entry into the PBS series, American Masters, which profiles Philip Roth. The New York Times featured the film and its subject here, in what looks to be a fine way to spend some time with one of our best authors.
Mr. Roth's authorized biographer, Blake Bailey, has some pointers on writing non-fiction, all of which are good suggestions, if not easier said than done.
Many writers feel the tyranny of the blank page. Others, like Flaubert, spend hours trying to find just the right word, le mot juste. But what if the word you want, doesn't exist? It's time to make a new word up and, once again, The Guardian tells us what those words just might be.
Ever want to open your own bookstore? Right in your own home? If we ever got this place cleaned up, why, it could look like one of these fine places as featured (once again) in Flavorwire.
Slainte! and Happy St. Patrick's Day to one and all! Let us know what is on your nightstand this weekend.
President Barack Obama is sipping a Guinness at an Irish bar [The Dubliner] to observe St. Patrick's Day. At the White House, the main South Lawn Fountain is burbling green water. (March 17)
Obama's Irish roots have been well explored in the three years he's been in office. In May 2011 he visited Moneygall, in central Ireland, to visit the town his great-great-great grandfather emigrated from in the nineteenth century. [...]
Obama's reelection campaign also got into the holiday mood Saturday, offering a special price on green t-shirts proclaiming: 'I (shamrock) O'Bama."
What, no Palin-gaffey "O'Biden" shirts?

A good St. Patrick's day to everyone and be sure you're wearing the green! But if not, you're in luck. I'm not in a pinching mood today.
The big news in publishing this week was the announcement that the Encyclopedia Britannica is going out of print, at least in volume form. Another one bites the dust, I guess, but with so much information available on the internet tubes (including the Britannica itself), and the costs of publishing in dead tree format, I suppose it was inevitable.
Others remain undeterred. The Occupy movement now has a publishing arm, and have initially published some pamphlets, including one by Noam Chomsky. You can see the first list here.
I like lists and I love baseball. Here is a good list from Huffington Post, and having read most of the books listed, I agree with much of it. But, even knowing this kind of list making is entirely subjective, I have quibbles. For one thing, although he mentions Ball Four in passing, it isn't listed at all. Most assuredly, Jim Bouton's classic work rates in the top five. Not mentioned at all is Lawrence Ritter's Glory of Their Times, the great volume of interviews of ball players who played during the turn of the previous century. And our friend, Dirk Hayhurst, the Garfoose, isn't included either. And I could have done without the snarky comment about Moneyball, the movie, and the daughter singing a song to Billy Beane. I liked that scene. And I love that song. Okay, off my high horse now. And be sure to check out Hayhurst's blog here,
Turning to the world of other media and connections to the book world, here is an interesting article from Slate regarding the novelist/essayist Marilynne Robinson and filmmaker,Terrence Malk, both of whom are fine artists.
Paddy (once again) beat me to the punch and posted Friday this video of Christopher Walken's, um, er, reading of Where the Wild Things Are. It is certainly worth repeating.
Finally, I mentioned last week the film version of Jack Kerouac's On the Road. I guess it will be released sooner than I thought. Here's the trailer for it and it looks very, very good. Oh, I know trailers are supposed to make the movie look really, really good. But I"m willing to believe.
So raise a pint and sing a song for the old sod and we'll see you next week. Until then, what's on your nightstand?
Snort. Via Sullivan.

TELLICO PLAINS (WATE) - The National Weather Service confirmed Friday's tornado in Tellico Plains was a an EF2 tornado that left a trail of destruction more than 14 miles long.
All Tellico Plains schools, including Rural Vale and Coker Creek will remain closed tomorrow because of the incredible amount of damage in the area. Other Monroe County schools will be open.
A mix of volunteers and professional crews worked non-stop throughout the weekend to restore power, communications and begin the massive clean up effort in Tellico Plains.
The Red Cross is accepting donations
"We have more than 200 people in town and for a Monday that's incredible., Our resources in the city are limited so we really are at the mercy of the volunteers," said Mayor Patrick Hawkins.
More than 60 homes were damaged by the tornado which left nearly 4,000 people without power, but Fort Loudon Electric says now that number is around 30.
"Most of those are homes that are destroyed so they won't be able to get power anyway," explained Emergency Management Director Brian Turpin.
The TDS Telecom warehouse and office building were destroyed in the storm impacting nearly 8,000 access lines.
But after working for nearly 48 hours straight, the company says the majority of their customers' phone service is up and running.
As for the roads, they are all clear except for small patches where crews are clearing debris.
Steve Massengill of the Tennessee Wildlife Reserve is helping pick up the large pieces of debris. He asks people to please mind the road blocks as they will only be in place a couple of hours at most.
"It's just an issue of safety while we clear the roads," explained Massengill.
The entire community has been working tirelessly since the storm hit on Friday.
"I've been out in the field, I've been communicating with everyone. I haven't gotten much sleep. Last night was good but that was the first time since the impact," explained Mayor Hawkins.
FEMA will be out in the area Tuesday to survey and determine the exact extent of the damage.
