ULA says to BLAME SPACEX for Ruski rocket rebuff
Re: Sad indictment
What it's a sad indictment of, is that no one in the US can make the RD-180 cheaper and to the same quality as Energomash.
They have that right: it's part of the contract. They could hire American workers to make as many RD-180s as they wanted. No retooling needed, no nothing. It's just that the Russian ones are cheaper and more reliable.
SpaceX wins court injunction to block US Air Force buying Russian rockets
The RD-180 is an excellent engine, delivering power and reliability that any NASA engineer will swear by, and buying Russian made ones rather than assembling them in the US (as the contract allows) is one of the ways NASA has continued being able to launch payloads at all, during budget cuts.
Re: national security
"Often these military contracts involve a local manufacture under licence part in order to minimise security concerns."
Indeed, as does this contract. Lockheed Martin have every right to manufacture RD-180s in the US. It was just turned out much cheaper to carry on buying the Russian-made ones. If SpaceX can beat the price of the RD-180 and still deliver the reliability and power of that engine they should do so.
Plusnet goes titsup for spectacular hour-long wobble
And... The DNS Servers are hosed again
Plusnet's DNS servers are, once again, directing requests for popular web sites to the Same Phishing website they were directing them to on Tuesday night. Switched my Router to use OpenDNS, and the problem immediately disappears. It's definitely Plusnet's DNS servers.
Unbelievable. Windows users on Plusnet will be getting infected with whatever is in that 'setup.exe', the site is peddling, right now, because of this. Their contact number is reporting an average 30 minute wait time, when you ring it.
Now all I have to do, is find a new broadband provider that isn't either owned by BT, already, or likely to be bought by them in the next 12 months.
Re: Was this a Plusnet security problem??
I would guess that if the router were at fault, it would have changed things on the router (a hosts file, for instance), not intercepted, and rewritten the IP addresses of the DNS servers to use. More likely your main router retains a record of the DNS servers Plusnet were offering on Tuesday evening. If you rebooted the other one, it will have gone out and picked up what they are specifying, now.
The onus still lies with Plusnet, as far as I can see. For two Plusnet customers to have observed exactly the same problem, from the same vendor, for the same period of time, seems a little suspect, otherwise. Do you know other people on other ISPs who saw this?
Re: Was this a Plusnet security problem??
Yes, I think it was. Their DNS servers were compromised all yesterday evening. I experienced exactly the same thing, and followed exactly the same steps to determine that it was so. I knew something was wrong, when I first got redirected on a machine that doesn't even have Flash Player installed. It was immediately apparent that some where in the DNS chain, there was poison. Your reports just corroborate what I experienced. Glad I didn't imagine it all. In the end, I kanked the power cable on my router and went out to the local pub quiz.
However, I'm guessing a lot of Plusnet Windows users might now have badly infected home computers as a direct result of this - because as Phishing sites go, it wasn't that unconvincing.
Of course, it is also possible something got borked during a botched attempt to fix the /original/, problem, from the day before? Maybe some Plusnet sys admin decided to download a 'This will cure all your woes' fix, that he discovered on a website whose URL ended in '.cn' TLD? These are the people who store all our broadband passwords in plain text, after all (unless they have some magic way of reversing the encryption on just letters x and y of my password - since this is their usual "security" question, whenever I phone them). been thinking of switching suppliers for some time, even though they are the cheapest (for a reason, it seems). this might be enough to make me do so.
That's not the whole of it!
For some time, yesterday evening, their DNS servers were rerouting web requests for "www.google.co.uk" to a phishing website purporting to the the download location for something called "Flash player pro". I kid you not.
After determining that it was not my router, that had joined all the other stuffed-up routers across the world, or the computer itself, I reported the matter to Plusnet. I got no acknowledgement, but I shall be reconfiguring my router to use OpenDNS from now on.
Murdoch dumps Microsoft, prepares to Hangout with Google
Re: A fool and his money are easily parted...
"What is this hell of coporate GMail of which you type?"
Using coporate GMail is like using Gmail. If you don't like Gmail, you won't like coporate GMail.
In our company (big company, thousands of employees across the entire globe) Outlook/Exchange never really worked very well, anyway, so the switch hasn't made much impact on how the business runs.
There /may/ be concerns about client data and confidentiality, or whatever - I cannot say, as I do not work in a client-facing area of the business. However, from a functional point of view, the only difference is that I no longer get emails about my inbox being over its size limit, and I no longer have to go back through my email history and work out what I can safely delete (and then delete it from 'Deleted items', of course, and then delete it from 'Recover Deleted Items', and so on... until I finally get some inbox space back).
Also, because Chrome automatically becomes the default browser across the entire company, you tend to hear less about things looking funny in (insert-version-here) of Internet Explorer. Forget about having free rein to install whatever you want, in your own copy of Chrome, any more, though!

Windows 8: Is Microsoft's new OS too odd to handle?
Re: Windows 8 task manager?
Well, everyone wants a pretty task manager, don't they? Personally, I always want to be visually dazzled and inspired while forcing my unresponsive applications to shut down. I hope it comes in that special shade of purple - you know, the colour of someone's vomit after drinking red wine - that we are seeing in all the pictures.
Re: expect the howls of dismay from users trying Windows 8 for the first time to quieten eventually
They won't have to wait 5 years. Within nine months, that fuck-ugly abortion of an interface will look about a 'hip' and 'groovy' as one of Jimmy Saville's old shirts, and Microsoft will be struggling to rush a new de-Metroised Windows 9 out to market.
Northgate IS issues suppliers with Ts&Cs change ultimatum
Re: So you tell all your suppliers to take a pay cut or fuck off
I wouldn't cry too much for them. Many of the 'suppliers' concerned have names like 'Microsoft', 'Oracle', 'IBM', 'HP', 'VMWare' - basically a shooting gallery full of all the bastards you'd like to do this to, yourself.
In part, it has been prompted by a 'supplier' approaching Northgate and demanding license fees for software sold to the company in the late 1990s/early 2000s, and allegedly still in use. It's basically up to NIS to prove that the software isn't in use, and it is therefore not liable. (This supplier approaches NIS, and several other ex-customers, every few years, with this jolly little scam.)
No naming names, of course, because that would be naughty - and those affected will already know who I'm on about.
Re: IT Giant?
Northgate has some business in the Public Sector, (notably every UK police force) but while these are large portfolios they lack the profits of the real money, which comes from private companies - many of them multinationals. That means Airlines, Insurance, Phamaceuticals, Motor Industry, the European arms of an Internet Search company whose name eludes me...
You may not realise this, because its offerings are often repackaged as those of its own clients (i.e. banks, mostly - think of business accounts that come with services bolted on). The outcome, however, is that Northgate is now directly responsible for managing the pay of 1 in 3 of the UK population (that definitely means some of you, reading this). So, it's a fairly big fish.
Retina MacBook Pro nukes Apple's green credentials
@Obviously! and Maxson
Indeed, they don't just rebrand Foxconn kit* since, in this case, we're talking about a laptop - which means it was probably made by Quantacom, in Taiwan, rather than Foxconn.
So, sometimes they rebrand Quantacom kit.
*Nor are they the only ones, since Amazon Kindles are also 'Foxconn kit', and Xbox 360s and Nintendo Wiis are 'Foxconn kit' - in the sense of actually having been made at Zhengzhou Technology Park, in Henan. Strictly speaking, large portions of my Samsung Galaxy S2 are 'Foxconn kit', but since it was assembled at a different plant, in a different country, that particular droid probably isn't the Foxconn you're looking for.
And if you're reading this on a high-end laptop there's about a one in three chance it's actually Quantacom kit.

LOHAN's flying truss: One orb or two?
One balloon, two balloons... It barely matters how many, they'd have swollen to the point where they filled 80-90% of the available sky above the rig, anyway, as far as I can see, and you're only going to get a ridiculous little spurt of extra altitudefrom any engine you use, compared to what the balloons have already provided.
Better to consolidate all your LOHANs into one, easy to manage, package.

Child labour, lost wages uncloaked by Apple factories audit
Buy what you want
The UN reckons that 80% of the world's cargo shipping is carried on ships that would be declared unfit for service if inspected, and are manned by crews that may not have seen land, or, in some cases, even daylight, in several years. Every month ships are lost whose crew manifestos were probably false. The only thing the families ever know, is that the money stops coming back.
Buy what you want: if you're alive, today, and you've bought something handled by a slave. We forget that it is only a few decades, since companies in the developed world were compelled to pay women (and by extension, everyone else) the same wage for the same task. These liberties are easier lost than they are won.

What should a sci-fi spaceship REALLY look like?
Re: Realistic in one sense
For a time I knew Harry Lange, through his wife Daisy (while she studied archaeology as a mature student at my University). He didn't talk too much about his time working with Kubrick, as he was generally a rather modest man, but he did say, in general, that he and the other NASA artists, hired for 2001, took their inspiration for how the outside of the spaceships should look, from their years of drawing and painting concept art for countless proposed NASA rovers, landers and deep space probes. ("A good picture could make congress open it's wallet" he once said.) He commented that "we may have over done it", since - at the time we were talking - hardly anyone had dared to present a movie spaceship, which did not feature that same, dull, slightly grubby-looking, matt grey exterior, with ports, panels, grills, handles and ladders all over it.
I've seen some claim that Lange 'designed' the Millennium falcon (it's a claim he did not make in my presence) but I do recall, he did say it was he, who convinced Lucas to stick a comms dish on it - as a homage to the comms dish on the Discovery, from 2001. Lucas had complained that people with faster than light travel would not bother communicating using radio, but Harry had replied, is his usual pragmatic manner: "George, who says its a radio dish? A parabola is the best way of focusing any kind of radiation into a beam, isn't it?"
Harry's love of wearing tweed flat caps, on set (although, by the time I knew him, he'd moved onto trilbies) is often said to have been an inspiration for the space suit designs of 2001 - a claim Harry certainly repeated, to me on one occasion, when he showed me a Set Crew's commemorative book, that was presented to all the people who had worked on the film, after it's success - pointing out the photo of himself, wearing such a cap on set.
However, a personal favourite - in cutting costs, to produce props - was the muffin trays, from Dark Star. "If only we'd thought of that!"

Amazon ups Kindle Fire production...
Worth bearing in mind that they _sell_ them for £125. It probably _costs_ them substantially more, to make, than this. As with the Kindle, they'll be betting on selling content, to make up the difference. In fact, I'm guessing that Jeff Bezos is probably hoping Fire users DON'T just sit around surfing the Web, watching free videos on YouTube and playing games that Amazon didn't sell them.

Security by obscurity not so bad after all, argues prof

The argument holds true, in a target-rich environment, where the only thing to be had, from a given computer, is a collection of photographs of naked people doing athletic - but strangely unemotional - things, to one another, plus the login details to the likes of Facebook or Twitter.
If, on the other hand, your computer is full of blueprints for stealth helicopters, sonarless submarines, and death-ray satellites, and is housed in a concrete bunker armed by the kinds of people that only Gordon Freeman can take down, then it is no longer obscure, and all the old arguments apply.
The professor's argument boils down to a wilderbeest defence: stay in the herd and don't look weak enough to count as dinner. However, some of us aren't wilderbeest.

LOHAN seeks mighty thruster for trip to heaven and back
There are no aerodynamics, at that altitude, which is why the launch shown in the video could never occur. Nice video, though.
Not really
You'd need something that will burn (and more importantly ignite) in a partial vacuum. That probably means an off-the-shelf ammonium perchlorate composite propellant (APCP) rocket, like those made by firms like Aerotech.
The main problem, then, will be to find an APCP blend that has sufficient thrust, for a sufficient burn time. Common long-duration mile-high-plus rocket motors like the Aerotech White Lightnings, generate about a five to seven second burn - initial burn of over 300 pounds of thrust for the first half second, followed by a sustained 80-odd pounds, thereafter.
White Lightning is favoured by those who like to follow their rocket during the ascent, but most people aiming for mile-high and more altitudes opt for extremely powerful, short-duration engines like the Redline or Blue Thunder (under two seconds burn) because sheer speed is better than a long burn. Each second spent burning, is another second spent fighting gravity, so the most economical means of gaining altitude is actually to just get there as fast as possible. I would guess that standard launches like these would tear both the plane and the gondola to pieces, in this instance, however.
Even with six seconds you need to be doing an average of 80 meters per second squared to do more than a mile of powered flight.
Slower burning types, like those used in model planes will probably not ignite and burn under these conditions, because they are air-burners. They are also tailored to the needs of devices that can generate lift via aerodynamics: i.e. they wouldn't produce any meaningful altitude gain, even if they could burn.
Googorola versus the Android ecosystem
I suspect they are trying too paint a target on their chests
Motorola was one of the remaining manufacturers that hadn't agreed to Microsoft's "We've never been able to get it to work, so you owe us" tax. It also hasn't been directly attacked in Apple's "We're the only ones who've been able to make it work right, so you owe us" lawsuits, either.
I suspect Google is attempting to step in and see if it can take a few bullets. It can't defend Android properly until it is, itself, under direct attack. At the moment, it just happens to be the maker of this 'free thing' that all these other manufacturers are getting clobbered over, for using.
I would be unsurprised that, having drawn the fire it seems to want - and presumably the game plan involves actually winning that particular battle - Google didn't simply divest itself of a (presumably strengthened) smart phones manufacturing division, since it isn't part of the company's core DNA.
If they fail, of course, we will never know what they were planning because it is a gamble that could take the whole operation down, if it is misjudged.
Can you handle LOHAN's substantial globes?
Yeah, I did correct the altitude snafu: I typed without thinking.
However, your assertion about getting 5kms from the ground with a 'decent' rocket... Well, it's true, you can do it, but you're actually talking about something like an Aerotech M1550 Redline, or similar - which is a VERY decent rocket.
In fact, it's the most powerful type of rocket licensed for civilian use in some countries; and you launch from solid ground (i.e. not a balloon) to get over a mile of altitude, using a proper rocket shell (i.e. something capable of sustaining 8-12Gs of acceleration all the way). Take a look at the videos of Steve Jurvetson (of venture capitalism fame), to see what a real 'mile high' rocket looks like. You cannot launch one of them from any kind of balloon.
The Register will certainly need to be something like an ACPC-fueled burner, to even ignite, in a near vacuum - and Aerotech are a likely candidate, to provide such a charge - but the actual rocket or rockets are going to be nothing like on the scale of a Redline. It would tear both the plane and the balloon to shreds.
Then why launch upwards, at all?
Your last balloon reached 89km. Solid fuel rockets would give, what, in comparison to that? Another couple of hundred meters?
Launch the thing sideways for maximum cross-range velocity and best glide, when the inner atmosphere is met with.
Make that 30km, but still...
Still begs the question

Googlenet runs on '900,000 servers'
Long may it last
You think the Windows machines are bad, you should see how opaque the mainframe business is in this regard. Big Data users used to like to point to how they could get the maximum workload out of their gear by running at top speed all of the time, but with virtualisation, it is becoming possible for everyone to do that, to some extent, without paying out hand-over-fist for it.
(Of course the mianframe business is canny, and what will happen, is that IBM will take all of your cheap commodity servers and stick them in one big, chest-freezer-sized box, spray paint it mat black and sell it as a "Z1000", for a smidgen under a million dollars, with a label on the front saying "also runs Linux".)

Intel: Apple has online app sales exactly backwards
So you fix the search
Poor search is a computing problem, not a economic one. Saying that the search is bad, and thus efforts based on search are inherently bad, is a bit like saying you should ditch your database and go with lots of little flat text files because you can't work out how to optimise your queries.
Apple's app store is a train wreck, but not because of it's one-stop approach. It shoots itself in the foot through not actually being a proper free market. That doesn't mean the model is wrong. It just means that deliberately limiting the range of goods you sell, for a variety of commercial, ideological, or, occasionally, down-right geeky reasons, is bad business.
Google's is a disaster because they don't actually want to do any organising in the first place.
The "small shops" approach simply offloads the job of sorting and categorising everything, to other people - all these supposed enthusiastic little shops. However, shopping on the high street, is something everyone seems to think everyone else should be doing: elderly spinsters in thick grey stockings, perhaps, keeping the village store alive by cycling in, once a week, to buy butter in weighed quantities.
But even when it is done, you know what actually happens: they go to the specialist store; seek advice from the knowledgeable and enthusiastic sales assistant; work out which product will be best for them; then go home and buy it on Amazon. Intel's "small shops" approach is an attempt to split what profits do exist, two ways, in hopes that this can still undercut the one-stop shop. Every app vendor will still know, however, that they'd better make sure their product was available on the one-stop place, because that's where most of the punters will actually buy from.
Why even have your own store, when referrals are often simpler and less hassle, anyway? The referrals business is growing and will probably become the model to be followed, by anyone wanting to make money from a specialist recommendations system.
I have a suggested edit for that FAQ
"Do you support in-app advertising and subscriptions?
Of course we fucking do. The whole point, of steering people into ever narrower alleyways of economic activity, is to better profile them and monitor their interests - so that we can target lots of advertising at them! We haven't actually fixed the targeted advertising bit, yet, but once we have, you'll have to use our custom advertising SDK, because, frankly, creaming off 30% of your profit margins isn't enough for us, and we want more."
"Do you actually plan to let us sell any non-Intel stuff
Non-Intel stuff doesn't exist. Here, look at this picture of a kitten."

For the most part, cookouts are all about the meat. However, the tasty side dishes that are served alongside charbroiled hamburgers, chicken, fish, and steak make a cookout a unique event and represent the diverse backgrounds of your guests.
Cookout side dishes must be durable, dependable, and delicious. The best cookout side dishes won't easily perish despite being out of the refrigerator and in the sun for several hours. In addition, they need to taste delicious when served at room temperature and not need to be kept warm or chilled (unless they will be eaten right away).
Salads are an excellent choice for a cookout because they balance out the richness of the meat. Vegetable salads include Caesar salad, Greek salad with kalamata olives and feta cheese, green bean or broccoli salad with crispy bacon, and caprese salad with tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and olive oil.
Pasta and rice salads are also popular at cookouts. Pasta salads include everything from parmesan cheese to pine nuts, salami, and pesto.
Potato salad, macaroni salad, and coleslaw are traditional cookout favorites. However, these salads must be treated with care to avoid guests from getting sick if the dishes are exposed to sunshine. It's recommended to keep these salads in an ice chest until it's time to eat and to stow the leftovers when people have finished eating.
Fruit salads and gelatin salads also provide balance to the meat and other side dishes. These salads are an excellent choice for cookouts, as long as they can hold up in warm temperatures.
Party trays are easy to tote to cookouts and are popular with guests. Vegetable trays can include an assortment of peppers, mushrooms, baby carrots, olives, and cherry tomatoes paired with hummus or a savory dip. Cheese trays can feature both hard and soft cheeses and assorted crackers. Fruit trays are delicious in the summer and can include fresh berries, watermelon and cantaloupe, grapes, and orange slices.
Side dishes can be more substantial, for example, baked beans, macaroni and cheese, pasta casseroles, and savory cornbread. Corn on the cob is a popular side dish that joins the meat on the grill.
Of course, no cookout would be complete without chips and dip. Offer an assortment of chips including blue and red corn chips, sour cream and onion, barbeque, and the classic thick cut potato chip. Keep in mind that chips may be the only side dish that children will eat at the cookout, so make sure to provide plenty.
Cookouts are an excellent opportunity to share your family's special recipes and to taste food that your friends and family enjoy. Many side dishes have been passed down through families for years. Ask people to bring their favorite side dish to a cookout, and be prepared to enjoy a diverse and delicious spread of food.

In Year three, the first wave of baby boomers will hit 65, demanding an overhaul of Social Security and Medicare, which face huge financial shortfalls. In Year four, the Kyoto agreement on climate change expires. Most nations ratified the protocol but the US never did. Its end underscores the need for a comprehensive plan to secure our energy supplies while also reducing our huge carbon emissions. And this is just the beginning here at home. The challenges overseas appear even more immense and complex.
Fascinating as it now is to follow the horse race between Barack Obama and John McCain, we now need something deeper from both of them: a better understanding their priorities and values, their visions and strategies for realizing them, their approaches to building teams and coalitions, and a more concrete sense of how they will govern. What do they hope to accomplish in their first 100 days? Their first term? And what, please, will their budget look like?
A major step forward, we have concluded from a recent conference at Harvard's Kennedy School, would be a media-based "job interview" of each of the candidates – one focused squarely on leadership. That would help voters move beyond identifying where Senators McCain and Obama stand to a better understanding of who they are and how well they would lead.
In 1960, many voters worried that John F. Kennedy was too young and inexperienced to be an effective leader. It turned out that inexperience did prompt a raft of mistakes early on, but he learned quickly and was magnificent when a crisis came over Soviet missiles in Cuba. Sixteen years later, many voters swooned over Jimmy Carter, but he turned out to be better suited for sainthood than for political leadership. Which model better fits Obama? Do we know? we know?

Fat cat too big for kennel
Published On: Jan 31 2014 08:11:07 AM EST
An animal shelter is trying to figure out what to do with a fat cat named Meatball that weighs a whopping 36 pounds.
Meatball is the largest cat ever turned in to the the Maricopa County Animal Control shelter.
In fact, he's too big to even fit in shelter kennels. Meatball currently calls a staff member's office his home.
Despite the extra weight, workers at the shelter say Meatball can walk comfortably.
The shelter is now trying to get Meatball to a center that helps heavy cats lose weight.

Metallica Purify Lyrics
Last updated: 01/01/2014 01:03:43 PM
Tear it down
Strip the layers off
My turpentine
Old paint, old looks
Cover up the past
White heat, white light
Super white bones
Bones of you and I
Pure if i... Can't you help me?
Pure if i... Won't you help me?
Purify you and i
Purify you and i
Purify... Can't you help me?
Purify... Won't you help me?
You and i purify
You and i purify
Truth and dare
Peeling back the skin
Acid wash
Ghost white
Ultra clean
Wanna be skeleton
Clear eyes
Diamond eyes
Strip the past of mine
My sweet turpentine
Super white bones
Bones of you and I
Pure if i... Can't you help me?
Pure if i... Won't you help me?
Purify you and i
Purify you and i
Pure if i... Can't you help me?
Pure if i... Won't you help me?
You and i purify
You and i purify
I can find the dirt on anything
I can find the dirt on anything
I ain't dancing with your skeletons
I, I ain't dancing with what might have been, no
Pure if i... Can't you help me?
Pure if i... Won't you help me?
Purify you and i
Purify you and i
Pure if i... Can't you help me?
Pure if i... Why won't you help me?
You and i purify
You and i purify
come on!, Purify

Terrific | Reviewer: whoa | 1/1/14
How come one cannot like this song? This is pure RAW music and vocals at its best. One of the best songs of this album, expressing whatever anger they got. Do yourself a favor. Buy a 7-channel surround system in a small room, up the volume and hear this song for at least 10 times. Then you will know what purify is about and how greatly it's executed. Thumbs up, Metallica!
You people. | Reviewer: Voice of reason | 6/24/13
Granted metalman is obviously a moron, in his own way he is right. This is not the general idea people have when they think of Metallica, but that does not make it bad. And to all those who hate on him because of his review, grow up, everybody has their own opinion of music.
As for my opinion(might as well add it in here) I love this song, and the entire cd for that matter, as long as James is singing, its Metallica. And as long as its Metallica, its badass
Metalman... Holy shit... | Reviewer: Jarrod | 1/30/13
Call me childish, but I don't see if how your a hardcore fan of Metallica , how you can say you don't like one song or album. True fans keep their favorite bands back, haha. Okay, sorry, LuLu was pretty terrible! No doubt, "Metallica" was my favorite album, mainly because it has alot of hitting home, but I love the other albums just as well. Grow up "metalman "
This is fucking Anger!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/2/10
People, who don't like this album, I mean they don't have any idea what the good music is all about.
Almost every song in this album has its own way, the lyrics are good and the battery I like it.
In every song you can hear the anger, the rage. And it is different than all the other previous albums but it's original.
metalman F@%& you | Reviewer: Levy | 5/24/10
hahaha , I read your review, and I laughed my ass off for 2 reasons:
1. YOU CANT FUCKING SPELL!!! and people can say ''nobody spells correct on the internet'', but your a fucking shame to the language english. c'mon, you stupid motherfucker, you cant be this retarded and dumb at the same time. I mean, I am typing with my ps3, and I can spell correct. stupid little fuck. AND CAPATALIZE YOUR FUCKING I's!!!!!!!!!! your not the first person who I tell this, nonetheless , I will say it.
2. you are NOT the person to determine what Metallica is. and you dont know shit 'bout metal. I cant believe your name is"metalman". you'd better change your name to "jonasbrosman" . and I agree that ride and justice where better, but you should know that this is what they needed to make to express their musical desires. oh, sorry, your such a moron, you wont understand the word ''desire''. buy a dictionary, after all, being a gay escort must make a hell of a lot money.
90's idiots. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/28/10
Alright. I don't understand why people hate this album. Yes, its not a genuine Metallica sound, but there is more to it than that. The people who actually gave this album a chance grow to love it. To me this is the most inspirational album Metallica has ever made. It's such a raw fucking monster. I can't even put it in a genre; it has a genre of it's own. On my iTunes I put "Raw" for the genre of St. Anger. There is just no other way to describe it.
PURIFY KICKS @$$ !!!! | Reviewer: MetallicaFan4Life | 3/26/10
Dude why do people hate this album,I freakin love it!!!! and quit naggin on papa het dudes. He was goin through vocal training because of the vocal cord blowout in 91' or 92.' It weas durring the nowhere else to roam tour. so come on give him some slack. And I don't care that they didn't put any solos in this album. They made up for it in awesome and raw riffs and bridges. I think this is one of there most raw and hardcore sounds that they have ever had. And for all that said they hate load and reload as well...and are FANS of the dudes. then you know nothing about real metal music.
... | Reviewer: xerx | 3/25/09
Purify...St. Anger...a shitload of people don't like this album...a shitload of people don't like load/reload. Well I say they form a shithole. This song (album too) may sound bad to some people because it's not played in E. Ok, I admit that the trash cans were awful and it was kinda weird with no solos, but this album beat the crap out of all the 90's bands and some lyrics were absofuckinlutely amazing. And I liked Het's voice. For the haters, especially former Metallica "fans"...Stop being fuckin' hypocrites!
Nice song | Reviewer: Boky | 7/9/08
TOo bad there isn't a solo in the song. And what the hell is wrong with you people? How can you say that Load, Reload and St.Anger aren't ''Metallica''? They made it, so it's pure Metallica. You don't define what is Metallica, they do. Load and Reload were awesome, St. Anger was ok, it had some bad songs and some cool songs...like I said...too bad there weren't any solos.
purify | Reviewer: nick | 1/10/08
james does sing purify stupid guy who said he dosent and here is a video if u dont belive me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uK76ZwAXDg) and there is nothin wrong with his voice the lyrics just shit which metallica admitted to and promised there new album next album comming soon would not blow like this one.
------ About the song Purify performed by Metallica | Reviewer: Valley S. | 7/24/07
This song is okay I like that but they've better song I agree but don't argue this song you fucking idiot! =)
metallica rocks | Reviewer: martin | 7/21/07
purify is good u stupid guy who thought is was boring dammit and there might not be a solo but its still good and james doesnt sing that well cause hes like 41 in that album and the first metallica albums were better i agree and they werent metal they were speed/trash mettal the new are metal and there is also kirk hammet that sing background lyrics ne ways first guy that agrees is awsome thank u first dude
PURIFY!! | Reviewer: Will Capps | 7/10/07
This song kicks ass, one of the best ones on St.Anger. Any one who thinks differently obviously dosnt know what they are talking about when it comes to Metal Music.
not master of puppets | Reviewer: metalman | 6/20/07
(not master of puppets).this song..is not very good.there is no solos(like in the whole album)!james sings not very good i think,and it has a bad sound.well...i am one of them who likes the old music most i think.st.anger,load and reload are just not metallica.Maybe metallica,but not good metal!i dont like it much.i have heard the new songs.sounds good!hope they get it right this time.

Cemita Milanesa de Pollo
Cemita Milanesa de Pollo is the sandwich sold—by almost every vendor—at the Mercado in Puebla for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night snacks. Needless to say, the competition over who makes the best is fierce. A generous portion of crispy fried chicken hangs over a sesame seed bun, which also cradles a generous amount of shredded Oaxacan cheese, avocado, and escabeche de verdura, pickled vegetables that take on a spicy, smoky heat from chiles in adobo.
In Puebla, the sandwich is made with palapo, an herb indigenous to the area. When he's back in Texas, Hernandez uses a mix of peppery arugula and fresh mint to replicate the herb's distinctive flavor. The chicken is a classic Milanesa preparation that's simply seasoned with salt and pepper. The sandwich gets depth of flavor from the other components. "Mexico is all about layers of flavor," says Johnny Hernandez, chef at La Gloria and La Fruteria in San Antonio.
- 6 4-oz. chicken cutlets, pounded to ¼" thickness
- Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs, beaten to blend
- 2 cups dried breadcrumbs
- Corn or vegetable oil (for frying)
- 3 avocados, sliced
- 12 oz. Quesillo cheese or Oaxacan-style cheese (white string cheese), shredded
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup baby arugula (about 2 oz.)
- 4 sprigs mint (you'll want about 8 leaves per sandwich)
- 3 cups Escabeche de Verduras (click for recipe)
- 6 cemita rolls or any crusty kaiser-style roll, split
special equipment
- A deep-fry thermometer
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place flour in a large shallow bowl. Whisk eggs and 1/4 cup water in a separate shallow bowl. Place breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Working with 1 chicken cutlet at a time, dredge in flour, shaking off excess, dip into egg mixture, turning to coat evenly, then carefully coat with breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
Fit a large cast-iron skillet or other heavy straight-sided skillet (not nonstick) with deep-fry thermometer; pour in oil to measure 1/2" and heat over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 315° (you want a moderate heat here because chicken breasts are so thin, they will cook quite quickly).
Working in 3 batches, fry chicken until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet and season with salt.
Build sandwiches with chicken, avocado, cheese, lettuce, arugula, mint, Escabeche de Verduras (click for recipe), and rolls.

TALLAHASASEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida's investment chief says the state retirement fund is one of the nation's healthiest.
Ash Williams' report Tuesday to Gov. Charlie Crist and two Cabinet members who oversee the fund contrasts with an ad by the Republican Party of Florida suggesting state pensions are at risk.
The ad is aimed at Democratic gubernatorial candidate Alex Sink, who sits on the board as Florida's chief financial officer.
She fired back saying her Republican rival, Rick Scott, who approved the ad, has been irresponsible by "scaring our retirees."

Robert Long, right, is being named president and John Stroud is being named chief commercial officer of Chattem Inc.Photo by Angela Lewis Foster.
Some 90 million people are estimated to have used a Chattem product in the past year, and the Chattanooga-based consumer health care company has elevated two executives to key posts to help manage its growth.
Robert Long, 42, a Chattem executive vice president, has been named as president.
John Stroud, also an executive vice president, was appointed to the new post of chief commercial officer.
Long, who joined Chattem in 2006 and was its chief financial officer, will have a more expanded role as the company's new president.
Stroud, 53, who came to Chattem at about the same time, will oversee the commercial side of the business.
Both Long and Stroud will continue to report to Zan Guerry, the company's chief executive officer.
"It's a very exciting time for the company," Guerry said, adding that the appointments formalize the way the business has been operating for a period of time.
Guerry said it's "very appropriate" for the company to have a president, noting Bob Bosworth held the post before leaving the business a couple of years ago.
Chattem has seen a surge in sales since it was purchased by French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi in 2010 for $1.9 billion in cash.
While Chattem sales late last decade were about $400 million, retail sales now have topped $1 billion. The company has taken the blockbuster allergy medicine Allegra from a prescription medicine to over-the-counter sales, and it later did the same for nasal allergy spray Nasacort.
In May, Chattem said it planned to launch erectile dysfunction medicine Cialis as an over-the-counter drug if the switch from prescription sales can gain regulatory approval. Cialis last year garnered more than $942 million in U.S. sales.
Long said he's overseeing finance and operations, while Stroud focuses on sales, marketing and product development.
A University of Tennessee at Chattanooga graduate, Long said that the business is performing well, citing the growth of its stable of products which include the Gold Bond and Icy Hot lines.
"It's a team effort," said Long, who is married with two children.
Stroud, who was reared in Alabama, said there's a lot of upside opportunities for the company, which now employs about 680 people, with 600 of those in Chattanooga.
Guerry said that Chattem as an organization has a lot similarities to a football team. One day the offense scores and on another, it's the defense that stars.
"John is good with the trade," Guerry said. "Robert has a CPA background and we don't have to worry about the numbers being correct."

Branford, CT
One of the main attractions and sights to see if you are visiting Branford, or even if you live here and looking for something interesting about your city, are the Thimble Islands just off Stony Creek Harbor. These tiny islands that stretch down the sound date back to prehistoric times and the pink granite rock that makes up their base is a beautiful sight to see as the sun sets behind you. It is an ideal destination for boating, birding, and exploring, and the townspeople know it. With more than 30 islands hovering off the coast, there is enough to go around.
Branford's biggest festival every year happens on Father's Day and gets the whole town involved in the festivities and games for an entire weekend. The Branford Festival is held annually in the historic downtown area of the city and includes carnival rides, live music from local bands, food stalls from nearby restaurants, arts and crafts, classic car cruise, and a 5-mile road race for the more active types. It is a great way to get out and celebrate with your friends and neighbors, and enjoy all that this great little seaside town has to offer.
Back in the old days, getting around by trolley was commonplace. Everyone rode them, from the financial elite to the penniless paupers. They were a staple of transportation in Branford and much of the East Coast, and an iconic part of our history. These days, you hardly see them, unless you are in San Francisco, but there is still a place you can go to eye some vintage cars and learn more about the history of this unique mode of transportation. The Shore Line Trolley Museum has hands on displays of more than 100 trolleys, guided tours, and even a ride along.

It won't be quite as cold this evening as temperatures will be in the 20s instead of the single digits like we've experienced over the last several days. Skies will be partly cloudy and the winds will be under 10 mph.
Thursday looks much warmer with a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the low to mid 40s.

A Geological Perspective on the "Irreversible Collapse" of the West Antarctic Ice SheetMay 17, 2014
It's "old" news…
The history of deglaciation of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) gives clues about its future. Southward grounding-line migration was dated past three locations in the Ross Sea Embayment. Results indicate that most recession occurred during the middle to late Holocene in the absence of substantial sea level or climate forcing. Current grounding-line retreat may reflect ongoing ice recession that has been under way since the early Holocene. If so, the WAIS could continue to retreat even in the absence of further external forcing…
The collapse (retreat of the grounding line) began about 20,000 years ago. It is irreversible because "the WAIS could continue to retreat even in the absence of further external forcing" and there are no topographic obstacles to prevent it from flowing downhill into the ocean.
One has to wonder why this paper didn't merit panic+stricken headlines in 1999
It's the same story, just from the other side of the peninsula.

KG welcomes rookies to Celtics with nicknamesBy JIMMY GOLEN
The Associated Press | October 13,2012AP Photo
Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett walks on the court during practice in Waltham, Mass.WALTHAM, Mass. Jared Sullinger is Sully.
Dionte Christmas is Temple, because thats where he went to college.
And Kevin Garnett calls Fab Melo is Melo because I dont like really calling a man Fab.
The Boston Celtics rookies are getting nicknames, compliments of the man himself known as KG and The Big Ticket. Garnett went out of his way on Friday to make it clear that hes doing it to be affectionate and not because, like many veterans throughout basketball and other sports, he cant be troubled to learn their real names.
My personal connection is a nickname. Im not disrespecting people by not knowing their names, Garnett said. Some people dont even talk to rookies.
The Celtics are still loaded with aging veterans, relying heavily on Garnett and Paul Pierce along with new additions Jason Terry and Jason Collins. But the leadership in the process of passing to 26-year-old point guard Rajon Rondo, and this years crop of rookies could be the most productive since 2004, when Doc Rivers was himself in his first year with the team.
Sullinger and Melo were first-round draft picks, with Kris Joseph coming in the second round. (Garnett calls Joseph Shawn, Christmas said, because he reminds him of someone named Shawn.)
Most of the time, its just Youngun, Sullinger said. Knowing that hes an NBA dinosaur, youve got to understand that being a youngun is a good thing.
Christmas was a 2009 draft choice of the Philadelphia 76ers who played in Europe the past three seasons and would be happy to be called anything by Garnett or any of the Celtics once the final roster cuts are made. For him to recognize me, for him to put an interest in me as a teammate, its definitely humbling, Christmas said.
Sullinger is also enjoying his time with his new mentor. Garnett has been running a sort of big-man camp within training camp, coach Doc Rivers said, and the 2004 NBA MVP has been passing along what he knows to Sullinger and Collins as well as returnees Chris Wilcox and Brandon Bass.
Im a big fan of veterans ... teaching some of the young guys on work ethics, earning what you get, not just riding off potential, Garnett said. Ive always been a big fan of veterans doing that.
The Celtics returned this week from exhibitions in Milan and Istanbul and will meet the New York Knicks on Saturday night in Hartford, Conn. their first practice game against NBA opponents.
Sullinger is trying to soak it all up.
Being a rookie, you always have to pay homage to the veterans, he said. You come in, youve got to have a closed mouth and you play basketball.MORE IN Wire SportsARLINGTON, Texas LeSean McCoy ran for 159 yards a touchdown, Mark Sanchez had his first scoring...

IT WASN'T MONETARY REWARD or a flexible schedule that enticed Elizabeth Pritscher-Lewis to become a California real estate agent. She took on the challenge of getting her real estate license because she was determined to hunt down the perfect La Jolla house for her family — "one with character," she says.
It took five years, but Elizabeth and her husband, Simon, finally were charmed by a La Jolla Farms home designed by noted modernist architect Dale Naegle, famed locally for his "Shopkeeper Homes" in La Jolla Shores and The Bell Pavilion (also known as the "Mushroom House") along the bluffs of Black's Beach.
"Dale and the homeowners, Hans and Ruth Suess, were friends," Elizabeth says. "The architect built this house for them based on an Austrian stable design. The homeowners were originally from Austria.
"We love that the home has had only one homeowner before us," she continues, "and we love the UCSD connection. [Hans was one of the four founding faculty members of the University of California, San Diego.] We met Walter Munk [world-renowned oceanographer and icon at UCSD], who said this was the party house for all the UCSD professors."
Built in the mid-'60s, the concrete-block home with its sprawling L-shaped floor plan, covered walkway and courtyard space amplified its ranch hacienda influences when Ruth covered up the concrete floors with red Sausalito tile and installed a red-clay tile roof.
""Elizabeth fell in love with the Spanish incarnation of the home and Simon adored the modern architecture," says designer Tatiana Machado-Rosas of Jackson Design and Remodeling. "They ended up with the best of both worlds."
Contemporary artwork throughout the house and the consistency of white walls melded with dark wood helps fuse the contemporary kitchen/dining area (where Simon, the head family chef, is king) and the Spanish flavor elsewhere.
"Retaining the tile flooring in the living room was extremely important to Elizabeth," Tatiana says. "Here, the main idea was just to keep it as open as possible."
Resealing the floor and repainting the blue hue between the heavy wooden beams of the 14-foot ceiling was almost all that needed to be done in the living area. But to create a cleaner look, two bookshelves opposite the corner beehive fireplace were removed. To further lighten what was a dreary space, a chandelier that emitted dim candlelight was replaced. And since the home has no privacy issues, draperies were eliminated from the living room's expansive windows. The large panes of glass are wood framed and have operable wood panels below. Dominating the walls on either side of the home, they turn the courtyard and back yard into extensions of the house.
Reconfiguring a bedroom, bathroom, dining area and cave-like galley kitchen made allowance for a new powder room, a convenient mudroom/pantry combination and a kitchen/dining space triple the size of the original. Tile flooring was jackhammered out of the new kitchen/dining area so that concrete could be installed to "bring back Dale's original vision," Elizabeth says.
"Because we have two children, we decided to go with quartz on the kitchen countertops. It's an easier material to maintain and take care of. We put this vein of calacatta marble behind and beside the stove, which is like a piece of built-in art. We used the leftover marble for a desk that's tucked in behind the kitchen's French doors."
Navigating through the residence was problematic before the remodel. Bedrooms could only be reached through an exterior corridor. To solve this dilemma, a new interior hallway was added.
The makeover has given Elizabeth and Simon a functional house that provides an open, relaxing atmosphere. Their children, ages 9 and 7, often have their playmates visit. It's not unusual to see youngsters running from the courtyard through the home to the back yard. And when Elizabeth and Simon entertain, guests can sit in the contemporary dining space with its Barcelona lounging chairs or enjoy the romance of the traditional dining area on the other side of the barn-style doors.
"Anyone else who bought this house might have wanted to tear it down and build a mansion on this three-quarters of an acre lot situated at the end of a cul de sac," Elizabeth says. "But I would have been so sad to see this Dale Naegel post-and-beam house destroyed."
A makeover unites a trio of spaces
DESIGNER DEBORAH GORDON merged a dining room, patio and living room into one contemporary, unified space for a client who requested a room that would be an "entertainer's dream."
Glacier white walls energize the space, but Deborah ramped it up even more with a persimmon accent wall, dollops of persimmon on two chairs and a flash of dark persimmon from a corner floor vase.
"To give the three once distinctly different spaces continuity, we added architectural ceiling beams to the entire footprint and brought in an espresso hand-scraped hardwood floor," she says.
The room was dressed with custom pieces from around the globe. Two modern peek-through chairs serve as dividers between the living and dining areas. A 10-by-4.5-foot dining table made from an acacia log was sourced from Indonesia. And to dazzle guests, Deborah brought in two glittering antique silver chandeliers with crystal beading.
Two 9-foot-long glass doors that open onto a new patio fill the room with light. The remodeled space won the 2013 National Kitchen & Bath Association San Diego Chapter Star Award in the Other Room category.

BEFORE THE REDO, there wasn't much privacy for Ciro Delgadillo's clients when lolling on their patio. That's because the houses are clustered so closely together in their area of Pacific Beach that the neighbors may as well be living with each other. In this case, the house next door loomed over the pool, practically colliding with the backyard wall.
Even though it was easy for the folks next door to ogle, there wasn't much for them to envy. Materials were outdated and landscaping was nonexistent — unless you counted the one lonely palm tree stuck in a bucket at the pool's south end.
"There was a clear underutilization of space and unrealized potential in the old design/layout," Ciro says. "The client wanted an outdoor kitchen, relaxation areas with comfortable furniture and a dining area. The pool needed a redesign for a more contemporary style and had to be made more shallow to accommodate grandchildren."
Collaborating with Ciro's Landscaping Inc. designers Henry Hong and Kelvin Ching, Ciro turned the patio space into an exotic personal playground with a tropical feel. Kentia and king palms were planted along with bird of paradise and large, shade-loving tropical shrubs such as Aucuba japonica 'Variegata,' philodendron 'Xanadu,' Phorium tenax 'Yellow Wave' and leather leaf ferns. Quartzite flagstone in gold hues of Autumn and Sunset replaced red-brick paving, while whitewashed wood decking was replaced with easier-to-maintain concrete.
"We created individual activity and living areas with new paving at varying elevations," Ciro says. "The variation in the flagstone nicely ties in the new color scheme of greens, burnt oranges, reds, browns and subtle yellow tones, as well as complements the color scheme of the newly painted house."
A cascading water feature creates a focal point at the pool's south wall. At the pool's east end, a double counter was built: one side for casual dining, overlooking the pool; the other a swim-up bar with built-in barstools.
Too bad the neighbors no longer can take a peek. They'd have something to be envious about now.

WHEN A FIRE RAVAGED an Encinitas residence, the homeowner asked architect Bill Currier to cosmetically change the late-'60s, beach-cottage bungalow to a Craftsman style.
"I had the existing house plan," says John, the homeowner. "And although I could have gone bigger and made a second story, I decided to keep it within the realm of what the community would still like. Rather than build a monstrosity, I kept it a ranch home; but I improved on what I had."
The exterior, which had been wood shingle and stucco, now is composite siding with an updated but similar version of its original green color.
"I wanted the house and the landscaping to blend with the environment," John says. "The colors play off the landscape. It was important to me that the home was a fit in the community and landscape. Kent Horner of C&H Gardens helped with that."
Drought-tolerant plants and shrubs replaced thirsty grass. A few semitropical blooms were planted as well. "We used kangaroo paws for vertical color and movement, Agave attenuata for simplicity and symmetry, prostrate rosemary for groundcover and 'Barbara Karst' bougainvillea for color and interest," Kent says. "We included flax, or Phormium tenax, to provide height without overwhelming the structure. We also used black aeoneum and crassula for drought-tolerant plants of color and Dracena marginata for a sculptural look. Thevetia peruviana was planted for a splash of yellow and green."
Because John wanted the residence to be sited as though it were in a rustic, natural landscape, sandstone boulders from the Elfin Forest and San Marcos area were strategically placed, and plants were installed around the rocks.
"I wanted the hardscape to coordinate and play off the house itself," John says. "The colors in the rock and column would play off the small pebble that we had that looks like a crushed version from the columns themselves. "Within a year, I recreated the house and moved in. I was involved with everything, every step along the way."

A do-over of a bad hardscape installation reinforces a patio's value
When you hear the words "heaving" and "hard-scape" combined in the description of a patio, it's not a good thing. But that's exactly how Brad Woodford of Bradley Landscape depicts his La Jolla client's pool area before it was remodeled.
"The hardscape was poorly installed," he says. "Wall footings were undersized and without proper rebar reinforcement. Concrete was poured on soil without proper compac-tion and also did not have rebar. The entire area was heaving and had shifted, causing cracks in the concrete and walls."
Yikes. A huge chunk of the original wall by the pool was 12 feet tall. You don't have to be in Jericho to imagine that tumbling down while you're floating by on an inflatable raft, slurping your third piña colada.
"All of the soil had to be reworked and properly compacted, and new walls were engineered," Brad says.
About half as tall as the previous, dreary gray granite wall, the pool's new wall is fashioned of Autumn Gold ledger stone, capped with Southern Buff limestone. It's better looking; doesn't totally block the sun; and unites the patio space with the upper-deck spa area, which also had problems.
"Once we began the process of changing out the redwood on the upper deck, we found that the subframing had been installed incorrectly," Brad says. "It wasn't pressure-treated lumber, so it had rotted in many places. We ran the new redwood decking parallel, which lengthens the area visually."
The new deck also cantilevers out over the slope, giving the client an additional 3 feet of space from the house out to the glass railing.
More space was obtained poolside by removing withered palm trees. After all, what's the point of lazing around the pool if there's no room for lazing-about patio furnishings?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Dayne Crist has decided to transfer to Kansas, where the former Notre Dame quarterback will be reunited with coach Charlie Weis.
Crist announced his decision on Twitter on Thursday: "After a long & difficult decision making process, I'm incredibly excited to join the Kansas football team. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!"
Crist visited Kansas and Wisconsin before deciding on the Jayhawks, where Weis was hired to replace the fired Turner Gill. Weis recruited Crist to Notre Dame and was his coach for two years.
One of the country's top recruits out of high school, Crist started the season as the Fighting Irish's starting quarterback but was benched at halftime of the opener against South Florida. He played only a handful of snaps behind Tommy Rees the remainder of the season.
Crist has already graduated, so he'll be eligible to play for Kansas immediately.

Coach Brian Hoberecht (pronounced HO-BRIGHT) is in his 14th year of being a head coach at the collegiate level.
He has been head coach of the Kilgore College men's basketball team since 2008.
In the last two seasons, KC had a 29-9 conference record in NJCAA Region 14, was 28-2 at home and was ranked 24-straight weeks in the NJCAA national poll.
Also in the last two years, eight KC players have signed Division I basketball scholarships.
When Coach Hoberecht arrived at KC six years ago, his vision was to lay a solid foundation and build the men's basketball program with a commitment to the student athletes he coaches.
"Player development has been the cornerstone of our program," Hoberecht said. "We believe in the relationships built during the recruiting process and the influence it has for a lifetime."
In 2012-13, the KC Rangers were 27-6, made it to the Sweet Sixteen in the NJCAA National Tournament and finished the season ranked 15th in the nation.
This was the best season for KC men's basketball in 55 years, and Hoberecht was named 2012-13 Region XIV Coach of the Year.
This past season, the Rangers finished the season with a record of 25-6 and were ranked 20th in the nation at the end of the regular season.
While at Kilgore, Hoberecht's graduation rate has continued to be more than 90 percent of all two-year players.
Hoberecht came to KC from Dodge City Community College in Dodge City, Kan. where he coached from 2000-08. The Kansas' Jayhawk West Conference is known nationally as one of the nation's toughest junior college basketball conferences.
At Dodge City, Hoberecht's team won back-to-back conference championships in 2006 and 2007. He was one of only three coaches in Region VI who made four appearances in the Region VI Final Four during his tenure in Kansas.
Hoberecht's record at KC is 113-72, which is a 61 percent winning percentage, and his teams have qualified for the regional tournament all six years he has been head coach.
In the last 19 seasons, Hoberecht has coached more than 20 players who have moved on to play professionally, 30 All-Conference players and 17 All-Region players.
He received his master's degree from Emporia State University in Emporia, Kan., in 1995, and coached there as an assistant from 1995-1997.
He was assistant at Dodge City from 1997-2000, and has also served as assistant coach for the Dodge City Legend, a professional summer-league team that plays in the United States Basketball League, from 2003-2006.
Joe Reagan enters his third season as assistant coach of the Rangers, coming from Odessa College where he served as an assistant coach. Reagan is originally from Indianola, Iowa, where he attended Corning High School. At Corning High, he played basketball and was named All-Conference. He also set school records in high school for assists in a game. He then played college ball at William Penn University in Oskaloosa, Iowa, under head coach John Henry. Reagan joined the coaching staff at the university. From 2007-2010, he was an assistant coach at McCook Community College in McCook, Nebraska, where his teams had two 20-win season. After McCook, he coached at Odessa College from 2010-2012 under head coach Dennis Helms. There, Odessa had two 20-plus win seasons, going 25-7 and 24-8.

This will be the first MLB regular season game in Australia. What could possibly go wrong? According to the Telegraph: In a $13 million coup for the state government, the opening series of the MLB will be held at the SCG on Saturday March 22 and Sunday March 23 - the first time a competitive US baseball fixture will be held in Australia and only the sixth time one has been staged outside America. The games have been described as the biggest internationally recognised event in this country since the 2003 Rugby World Cup final and come exactly 100 years after the Chicago White Sox played against NSW at the SCG. "Sydney will host the first two games for the opening series of 2014 Major League Baseball at the Sydney Cricket Ground," Premier Barry O'Farrell said. "The opening series will feature the LA Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks playing the first two games of the season." photo credit: USA Today Sports
