Discussion in 'Political Zone' started by Sasquatch, Oct 2, 2008.
From what I saw, she did very well.
She did her job...
I thought she did well.
Reading on the conservative blogs, the one complaint I saw was that she almost always gave Biden "the last word."
I didn't notice myself, but I guess that's something.
maybe she was smart enough to realize that she had to be very careful with all the prior speculation....
She was OK
Outstanding job, she actually did not interfere with debate...
The only thing I noticed was the question about some Senate or Congress bill about making it harder for mortgage-lenders to declare bankruptcy... WHAT?
That was obviously an easier question for Biden seeing how he had to vote on it...
Maybe its just me but I thought that could be seen as unfair.
Other than that I thought she was completely fair.
She is what she is, a true pro.
Leading up to this evening. She was irresponsible, and unprofessional.
Tonight she wasn't biased toward Biden.....she was careful.
Still a disgraceful, dishonest, unprofessional, arrogant **** with a bum ankle.
I did notice that.. but all in all she did a really good job...
Are you talking about Gwen, or Plaxico Burress?
Never heard of her until the multiple "oh no, not her threads."
I was impressed. Very professional. Totally non partisan.
I think he is talking about himself.
Gwen has bigger balls:laugh1:
Completely agree.. thats how I saw it.
Thats not a shot at BBgun, imo....she could step in in a pinch if Leonard Davis ever goes down.
Gwen Ifill was great - she was superior to the intrusive Jim Lehrer who sought to direct the debate to the point he seemed to fuss over the candidates direct interaction.
Gwen was firing questions at a pace that drove the debate at a fair clip yet were leading enough to allow her and us to kick back and enjoy the unforced flow between Palin and Biden. There were long stretches where I even forgot that she was there.
Now THAT'S the mark of a good moderator.
Awesome job by Gwen Ifill.

Photonic Laser Thruster Promises Earth to Mars in a Week 413
from the buckle-up dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I smell bullshit
I have my doubts as well. There is a picture there of Dr.Bae standing next to an experimental setup which consists of precision scales, a mirror sitting on these scales, another mirror above it and some sort of laser medium in between.
From this I figure that his thruster uses Fabry-Perot cavity to amplify amount of light circulating between mirrors - not exactly a new trick. However the press release says something about importance of putting laser medium inside the cavity so, hopefully, he is doing something more involved (though not described).
Also, this thrust could only be used to push two mirrors apart - so it is hard to see how one can use this for docking - but undocking would work fine..
Scaled up, a similar engine could speed a spacecraft to Mars in less than a week.

We had booked into this hotel for several nights while we explored Llasa before heading off by road to Nepal via Everest. As mentioned in previous reviews, one was not sure whether we were in a museum or a hotel. The artifacts in the lobby and the upper floors were sights to visit for a couple of hours by themselves.
The breakfast was very ordinary and seemed to fail by comparison to the rest of the hotel. It was only a short walk to the local supermarket to stock up on supplies for the overland trip to Nepal. There were a few local restaurants nearby.
The staff in the hotel were very helpful although English is not one of their strong suits. We had some laundry done at the hotel which seemed to have got lost, but eventually turned up a couple of days later. If we were only staying for a couple of nights, we would have lost it.
The beds are super hard (more than normal in China) and we prevailed on the staff for a soft covering on the mattress which helped a bit.
The hotel provided internet and complementary water in the room.
If we were to visit Llasa again, we would more than likely stay at this hotel again.

Massive (brain) dump…probably Part I…
Been a bit since I've posted. So here is some general mishmash, in completely random order:
*Yup…starting with the New England Revolution…whoda thunk it??! It's cuz I can. And it's somewhat interesting to me. The team has played 3 games (0-2-1). They have zero goals. ZERO! How is that possible? Didn't this team make the MLS Finals last year? In no way do I claim to remember their exact roster from December, but I just scanned the current one and it appears to have a lot of the same names I heard during the playoffs last year. Mystifying to me anyway…
Note: The Revs are waaaaaaaay down on the list of my concerns. But since they are local…and oh for five in championships…it would be nice if they could win one someday.
*Big week at the owner's meetings in the NFL. (Wow…the second point is one that I normally don't care about either!). Apparently there were 23 rule changes to be discussed. Due to complete lack of interest (both by any readers here and myself as well) I'm not going to comment on the majority. But the Patriots' three proposals are worth spending a second or two on anyway.
- Having the ability to challenge any call…or however it is defined…it would be increasing the amount of replays available regardless. Wouldn't be excited about this at all…and apparently enough teams weren't either, in order to change this rule. Sure, there are probably more plays that should be reviewed. But where do you draw the line? EVERY play can be reviewed for some kind of reason. So do you want 6 hour games? I love football, but that is a little much.
- Having fixed cameras on boundary lines. This is an absolute no brainer and something William Belichick has championed for years. Why wouldn't you do this? It would make so many replays shorter. They say because owners do not want to foot the cost to set these up? How ridiculous is that, coming from a bunch of billionaires? Oh yeah, right. These are the same dudes that penny-pinched the officials a couple years back and we had to suffer through replacement officials that were clearly in over there head. Nevermind…
- Move the PAT to the 15 yard line. Not sure this will solve much, still a chip shot. But better than where it is now, I suppose. It is time for a change, no question in my mind anyway. What was it, like 99.7% of these are made now? Seems kind of outrageous that any kind of points are automatic. I haven't thought enough about it to have a solution, but something should be done. Force a 2 point conversion play? Make the 2 pt. conversion start at the 1 yard line to entice more teams to go for it? Make the extra point at least 40 yards out? Smarter minds than me hopefully will work this out in the near future.
*I've started to live with the fact that Darrelle Revis will not be here next year…even accepting it to some degree. I know there are several contracts coming up soon and that they are still close to the cap, blah, blah, blah. I get it. But the cornerback depth chart right now? Yikes!! One projection had Malcolm Butler #1 and Bradley Fletcher #2 now. Double Yikes!! Butler seems to be able to play, but that is quite a big jump to expect him to take. Maybe Fletcher gets some confidence back and is serviceable next year. But another big "if" as well. I won't go through the rest. Good thing it's only March…
*But please, Bobby Kraft. Don't insult our intelligence by saying "we really TRIED hard to get Revis back". If you really wanted him back, the contract the Jets gave him was not prohibitive enough where you wouldn't have been able to bring him back. Sure, a couple of decent bodies would have to have been sacrificed. And additional maneuvers necessary in future years. But you really could have figured it out. So please stop it.
*I've made a decision. As painful as it is for me to say this, I do NOT want the Bruins to make the playoffs. It's time for change. All around. Major. And missing the playoffs is the only way change will happen.
Starting with Peter Chiarelli. He's had a nice run as GM, no question about it. But the bad contracts (either too long, too soon, too much money, or in some cases, all three), the bad drafts, being seemingly too satisfied some years (after blowing a 3-0 series lead in the second round against Philadelphia in 2010, he said "well, we are one of only 5 teams to make the second round of the playoffs the last 2 years"), the laissez-faire attitude towards the players some years (after getting bounced from the playoffs in the first round the year after winning the Cup, he said "well, the players came to me and said they felt like it was really just one long season and were tired…". I would have lit any player up had they told me that!). Etc. It's time to go.
As much as I've changed my opinion on Claude Julien over the years and see him in a much more favorable light, it looks like it is time for a change there as well. For one, the players seemed to have tuned him out…specifically the "core" guys. There is a noticeable difference on the ice this year, as far as intensity and pride go it seems. Talent too, I suppose. But it's just not the same. Not saying it is all Claude's fault. But I've said it many times before, sometimes you just need a new voice. He's been here a long time and it has been a nice run. But it happened to Doc Rivers. It happened to Terry Francona. It hasn't happened to Belichick, probably because there is a lot more roster turnover year to year in football. Not to mention the fact that with all the nonguaranteed contracts in the NFL, there is a way to rectify any player situation quickly by jettisoning him. I just wonder if the three year contract extension given to him before the year will preclude Charlie Jacobs from doing anything here. Then again, a new GM will want to pick his own coach…
The roster. Complete overhaul, I say. I will leave open the possibility that a new GM & coach may light a fire under some of these guys. But here's the list of players I WOULDN'T dangle in trades:
Dougie Hamilton, David Pastrnak, Patrice Bergeron.
Yup, that's it. I'm not likely to deal David Krejci. Or even Malcolm Subban. But I am up for dealing anyone else. For whatever that's worth. The team is full of third/fourth line types. And third pairing defensemen. There are not many quality bodies in Providence ready to step in and contribute. Well, maybe there are. But youngsters are usually stifled by this regime, so we may never know. Time to find out, I say.
Enough for now…but still more to catch up on…
Trying to be patient…
…because the one thing that I wanted them to do in free agency, as well as what most other Patriots fans wanted them to do, was to re-sign Darrelle Revis. Everything else would be gravy, right?
Of course they did not. And it made me sick to my stomach initially. Can't say much has changed over the past couple of days. Though I have TRIED to look a little more at the big picture.
So I would have kept Revis, of course that is clear. Even in the worst case scenario, I would have picked up the option year. Even though that option was exorbitant, not to mention the cap hit that came with it, it's hard for me to believe that the Patriots couldn't have maneuvered the cap to fit it in. Restructuring a few players, cutting some dead weight, all that. It could have been done.
But this is the New England Patriots. We should have known there was no way they going to pay Revis. No way that they were going to pick up that option. ESPECIALLY after winning the Super Bowl.
Was it the right move? Only time will tell. Every year I am disappointed with the team at the start of the free agent process. Every year, the team seems to shop in the bargain aisle. And every year when the rosters are full and they are ready to start the regular season, it turns out things are not as bleak as everyone made it out to be in March.
In Bill We Trust? Maybe.
But this one feels different. As I stated in previous posts, the formula for winning a Super Bowl seemingly came down to keeping Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and Revis healthy. Everything else would work out. Last year everything fell into place and the Pats were Super Bowl champions. Prevailing wisdom would be to bring most of the band back together for at least one more run…before Brady's "window" closes. Made total sense. Seemed that the team could work the cap to make this happen. Then after next year? Who knows? But one more shot would've been nice.
This isn't to say they won't get another shot next season. Still plenty of talent on the roster and plenty of time to acquire more. The draft has yet to happen too. None of the other free agents that have left this offseason will kill them. Brandon Browner was nice, and yes, I wanted him back too. His penalties frustrated the hell out of me, but the refs largely put their whistles away in the postseason, when it mattered. But without Revis on the other side, is Browner truly a #1 now? We will see how that one works out for the Saints. Shane Vereen can be replaced, as can Big Vince Wilfork, sad to say. The Pats weren't going to pay guys like Akeem Ayers and Jonathan Casillas like triple their worth. Liked what I saw from Ayers actually, but he can be replaced…and apparently has already by Jabal Sheard.
But it goes without saying that Patriots Nation would have felt more comfortable with Darrelle back there.
I believe people are mistaken with the whole guaranteed money thing however. The Jets gave him 39 million fully guaranteed. The Patriots were said to have offered 35 mil guaranteed. People have been ripping the Pats…how could they let him get away for only 4 million???!! But was it FULLY guaranteed? Doubtful. Reports have not indicated the fully guaranteed dollars, from what I have seen. So was the money really that close? Again, doubtful. Big difference between the two offers, it would appear.
I don't think the Kraft family is cheap. But they are hard core businessmen. As is Bill Belichick. It does bug me sometimes how they continue to look at the future more than "loading up" and trying to take advantage of Brady's last couple of years. But they have had a pretty good run and who can really argue with it? As businessmen, I think they also see some things coming up after next year and didn't want to lock up too much dough for Revis where it would preclude them from doing things with the players that are up. Gronk has a huge bonus next offseason that will need to be addressed one way or another. Nate Solder, Chandler Jones, Dont'a Hightower, Ryan Wendell and of course the franchise tagged Stephen Gostkowski are up after next season. Wendell may not be a key guy to keep, but right now there is not much guard depth on the team and he remains the backup center, so maybe he will be useful. In any event, kind of a big deal to keep most of those guys. Would they be able to if they locked Revis up? Possibly, but who knows?
One other decision we may never know the answer to: Why Devin McCourty and not Revis? I'd have paid Revis first. McCourty failed as a cornerback. And it's not like he's Ed Reed out there at safety. A good player, but many do not feel he is great. I don't anyway. But I'm not in the NFL in any capacity, so I suppose it's possible I am missing something. For my money though, I am paying a franchise, shutdown cornerback over a decent, centerfield safety any day of the week. It's kind of shocking that Devin got 28.5 mil guaranteed. Yes, maybe none of it is fully guaranteed, but still. Just seems like a wild overpayment for a team that does not normally overpay in the slightest bit. I have no explanation for this move. Other than they knew they were losing Revis, (and maybe knew if they lost Revis, they were dumping Browner), so they sure as hell weren't losing another starting member of the secondary. But the whole thing is hard to fathom.
So as usual at this time of year, we just have to sit back and see how everything shakes out over the next couple of months or so. See if Bill and Robert were right again. I like the Sheard move mentioned above, but I am not sure it's a game breaker. And other than that, I have to say none of the other moves so far, free agent (Brandon Gibson, Kevin Dorsey, etc.) or re-signings (James Develin, Sealver Siliga, etc.), have raised my antennae too much. Drafting #32 in the first round come May doesn't really get me all fired up either.
Here's hoping Chimdi Chekwa is the next Revis…hey, he supposedly runs a 4.3 40, it's a nice start, no?
Patriots free agency primer-Offense
Moving onto the Offense today…while still sweating out that the Patriots will stick to their historical ways under the Kraft family and let Darrelle Revis walk…and have him sign with another AFC team…not good…
Under contract: Tom Brady, Jimmy Garoppolo, Garrett Gilbert
Free agents: None
Thoughts: Nothing to see here. Brady apparently will play for much less than he is worth (though make no mistake, every time he renegotiates, he makes more money than people think he does). He can still play at a high level. Just need to make sure the offensive line is stout enough to keep him upright and it will be business as usual. Jimmy Football is of course unproven, but the organization seems to love him. Hopefully we won't have to see him play again next year anyway, other than mop up time.
Garrett Gilbert? Who cares? The 3rd QB will be on the practice squad. And if we see the 3rd QB at any time next year, the season is surely over. So it could be anyone. But Gilbert should be thanking his lucky stars the Pats signed him last December 17. Apparently, the Pats wanted to sign some dude named David Fales off the Chicago Bears practice squad. Chicago ended up elevating him to the 53-man roster. So the Pats went for Gilbert instead. Then Garrett got to enjoy the ride for 6 weeks and also got himself a Super Bowl ring. I know no one cares about this stuff but me, but good for Gilbert anyway…and I suppose too bad for Fales.
Running back:
Under contract: LeGarrette Blount, Brandon Bolden, James White, Tyler Gaffney, Jonas Gray, Dion Lewis
Free agents: Shane Vereen, Stevan Ridley, James Develin (FB)
Thoughts: Kind of a run-of-the-mill group in the backfield. But you know what? It's actually probably good enough. That's assuming White and Gaffney can play a little. Blount is an average back…he can take advantage of the poor run defense teams, but is not a game breaker, despite what many Patriots fans think. Gray showed some flashes, obviously. He seemed to run pretty well when given the chance. Looked like he had more burst than Blount. But there was a reason he was on the practice squad for the first half of the season, where every team in the league had a chance to add him and they did not. I think it's more than the alarm clock thing and getting buried in the doghouse. There must be some more limitations…again, despite what many Patriots fans think. Bolden is a nice guy to have on the team, but I don't want him getting carries…many of them anyway. Lewis…if you want.
The keys here as it stands are White and Gaffney. White was a preseason darling, but couldn't get on the field last year. When he did, no one saw much. Perhaps he needs more reps. But I'm not completely sold on him yet. Gaffney was stolen from Carolina after he got hurt early in training camp and they wanted put him on injured reserve before they actually needed to. Did it during a period where he had to clear waivers before they could put him on IR. If they kept him until the first cutdown from 90 to 75 players, they could have put him straight to IR without exposing him to waivers. Needed that 90th roster spot I suppose. Anyway, dumb move by them if they liked him. But if Carolina was willing to take that risk, how good can Gaffney really be? The Patriots did something like this a couple of years back when the New York Giants tried to do the same exact thing with Jake Ballard when he was hurt one year. The Pats claimed him and stashed him on an injury list all year. Got everyone all fired up about him making contributions the following year…and then he never made the team. So we will see.
As for the free agents, I'd actually take Ridley back. I'm assuming he will have to get one of those one year, "make good" deals, to prove he is healthy and still a decent back. Why not here? But if I'm Ridley, I don't know if I would do that in New England. Too many bodies and he won't get the carries he needs to cash in next year. I'd let Vereen walk, especially if he is looking for like 5 mil a year, as I have heard. He stayed healthy last year, but what are the chances of that happening again, with his history? Plus, he got some yardage last year, but to me, he seemed to be less explosive than he has been in the past. I like him, but he can be replaced. Develin is restricted, so he will likely be back, if the Pats want a fullback. No problem with that. I wouldn't argue adding another veteran here, but I'm not rolling out tremendous cash to do so.
Wide Receivers:
Under contract: Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Brandon LaFell, Aaron Dobson, Josh Boyce, Jonathan Krause, Matthew Slater
Free agents: Brian Tyms, Greg Orton
Thoughts: Again, probably enough here as well. No need to spend major dough on anyone…such as trading for Andre Johnson's good sized deal. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a big name like 'Dre here. But I'd rather spend the dough on other positions than extending for someone at this position. I wonder if Dobson will ever be anything, but I'm not opposed to giving him another chance. He showed some promise in his rookie year. He supposedly is "rededicating" himself this offseason. We will see, but why not? Boyce, Krause, Slater? Yeah, filler. There has been talk about maybe replacing Amendola with someone like Brian Hartline, but what's the difference? Tyms and Orton are both restricted, but again, who cares? I'm not as high on Tyms as everyone else seems to be. Loved him in the preseason though, for whatever that's worth…pretty much nothing, I know. If Edelman can stay healthy and LaFell keeps progressing here, it's enough.
Tight ends:
Under contract: Rob Gronkowski, Michael Hoomanawanui, Tim Wright
Free agents: None
Thoughts: Keep Gronk healthy! That's it! I see Wright contributing more next year, as a receiver, now that he will have an offseason and a full training camp with the team. I think they will find a way to work him in more. I'd love to see them acquire a backup, through the draft or otherwise, that can both catch and block. I'm not saying another Gronk, but someone who is capable of doing both to take some of the load off Gronk during the regular season. To a much smaller degree, obviously. But if their plan is just to have these guys and then having an extra offensive lineman be a blocker, then I am ok with that too. Unless that OL is Marcus Cannon. Because he was awful in that role last year. Nate Solder and Cameron Fleming were good at it though, so there are other options.
Offensive line:
Under contract: Sebastian Vollmer, Nate Solder, Ryan Wendell, Marcus Cannon, Bryan Stork, Cameron Fleming, Josh Kline, Jordan Devey, Chris Barker, Caylin Hauptmann
Free agents: Dan Connolly, Danny Aiken (LS)
Thoughts: I think the Patriots are set at tackle and center with Vollmer, Solder and Stork. Would love to see Solder get his cap number down with a long term deal though. He struggled at times last year, but I'm ok with keeping him on the blind side. Can you do better? Not sure. Stork seemed to make a difference when he was in the lineup. Vollmer has been good. Not a huge Cannon fan…who is actually? But as a backup swing tackle, again, you could do worse. I believe Fleming is technically a tackle as well, though they tried him at guard too…and of course as the blocking TE. Will be in his 2nd year, I'm good here. Guard seems to be one of the highest priority positions to upgrade to me. I like having Wendell on the squad. He played ok at guard and you can play him at center as well. I'd love to bring Connolly back for depth at the right price too. He also has the flexibility to play C. I'd like to see them get another big guard to at the very least groom next year. Kline appears to be deep depth. Barker has been around for 2 years and has barely played. Devey is atrocious and Hauptmann is someone I've never heard of. Maybe he's the guy, but doubtful. Seems ripe for another high level player here. Aiken is here as the long snapper and it doesn't matter to me if they re-sign him or let him go. Someone will do it next year.
Under contract: Stephen Gostkowski (franchise tag)
Free agents: None
Thoughts: I'm not terribly excited the Pats used their franchise tag on their kicker. But there really was only one other option to use it on among all of their impending free agents: Devin McCourty. As stated above, I'm not sad they didn't use it on Devin. So you may as well make sure you have a reliable kicker going forward…on a team poised to score plenty of points. Sure, I'm not positive he has made too many clutch kicks over his career, certainly as compared to his predecessor, Adam Vinatieri. But again, having a reliable kicker is a good thing. Some teams in the past have gotten derailed because their kicker was terrible (Billy Cundiff anyone?). His kickoffs are strong as well. I'm fine with it. May as well lock him up for a few years though, so they are not tempted to use the franchise tag on him again next year.

McCartney And Wonder To Reunite
Picture: Beatles merchandising stage set and plastic beakers at the Rock 'N' Roll celebrity memorabilia Fame Bureau auction at the Orleans Hotel and Casino in...
Former THE BEATLES star Sir Paul McCartney is collaborating with Motown legend Stevie Wonder more than 20 years after their hit single EBONY AND IVORY stormed the charts.
The talented duo's latest project, A TIME TO LOVE, is also the title of Wonder's recent album - his first in ten years.
An industry source tells British newspaper the Daily Express, "Paul and Stevie obviously go back a few years and have had major commercial success in the past.
"The record company is keeping its fingers crossed that their latest collaboration follows suit."

I'm in the middle of specifying the build/buy trade-offs for a public website and have hit a rather interesting avenue.
Part of the design of the website is to incorporate comments against a set of different 'items' which obviously have their own IDss. (i.e. /recipes/23 or equipment/16 etc, etc).
Initially, i had specified a comments system with tags. However, the project sponsor has come back and asked if it would be easy to incorporate Disqus into the mix. I've used this before with Joomla (never in .NET) and think that it'll be a great idea as the comments are automatically distrubuted via the usual social network mediums by default.
Is it fairly painless to set up an implementation of Disqus on ASP.NET MVC that works seamlessly? Are there tutorials or examples of a working Disqus solution in ASP.NET MVC? I've seen this example and have read the documentation so far.

The cattle markets continue to amaze people in the beef production industry. Getting calves weaned and to the market will be coming soon for many who calve in January/February. Now that we are in August, scours is not "hopefully" a hot topic of discussion. However, scours can be devastating to a cow/calf operation, thus taking a toll on the number of calves that you may have been preparing to wean vs. the number you will wean.
I recently read (this morning) a topic in the Tuesday edition of the Beef Blog that gives a systems approach to reducing the problem with scours. In a nutshell it deals with grouping calves by age at birth. This will take a few fields, but it is pretty workable, and will probably take less time than treating a bunch of sick calves.
With most problems occurring when calves are seven-14 days old, this would involve moving the cows that have not calved. The first two weeks on a pasture, and all cows and calves born in two weeks would remain, with the remainder of the herd being moved to a new, clean, pasture. Then after a week, move all of the cows that have not calved to a third pasture except those that have had calves born during that week.
The entire post can be found on the Beef Blog for Tuesday, August 5. I email this to everyone on my beef cattle mailing list daily. If you would like to be added, simply send me a request at email@example.com

Low at the Larimer Lounge, 3-29-13 (review)By Nic Turiciano | April 1st, 2013 | No Comments »
It's not up for debate. Low's performance at the Larimer Lounge Friday night was boring.
For most bands, that would be an indication of a bad show.
The 20-year-old Duluth, Minn. group is known for their slow tempos, droning melodies and sad, beautiful harmonies. All of those hallmarks were on display Friday, and their sound hit the mark.
Low, which is helmed by the husband and wife duo of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker, powered through tracks new and old without much fuss. Interaction with the crowd was minimal. A "thank you" here, a "we'Äôre so glad to be in Denver" there.
The sold-out crowd, comprised of mostly wizened (ie: aged) fans, didn't seem to expect anything different. Even at the front of the motionless mob — right up on the stage — a slow head bob was the closest anyone came to dancing.
Older tracks such as "Soon" and "Dinosaur Act," and new songs such as "Plastic Cup" and "Just Make It Stop" sounded as if they came off the same record, despite the fact that almost 15 years separates them.
The boringness was so calculated and ingrained that it resulted in a welcome change of pace. There were no (well, probably very few) spilled beers, no crowd surfing and no bloody noses as a result of fist-pumping.
For most bands, a show as dull as Friday's would be regarded as a blistering failure. For Low, though, it's just part of their appeal. You can count on them to deliver a specific sound, and after two decades, they own their genre.
If that means that their live shows take on the crushing-depression character of their recorded works, so be it. That's why their fans like them to begin with.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs owner Kendrick: Expectation is to reach the postseason
Just because national pundits are not expecting much of the 2013 Arizona Diamondbacks does not mean the team itself shares the same level of pessimism.
"I believe we've worked very hard to put a team together that can compete, and we start the season with every belief that we're going to be in the playoffs, that's what we strive for every single year," D-backs owner Ken Kendrick told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Wednesday. "We made a lot of moves and we're a different team than the one that was on the field last year, and the nature of how I think we're going to play the game is going to be different this year."
Indeed, the D-backs are different from last year's team that won 81 games and finished third in the NL West, and they're even more different from the squad that won 94 games and the division the previous season.
Gone are players like Justin Upton, Chris Young and Trevor Bauer, and in their place are Martin Prado, Brandon McCarthy and Randall Delgado.
Kendrick, though, acknowledges the difficulty of the NL West but believes the D-backs have upgraded the roster, even if others don't.
The team's moves -- especially the decision to part with Upton -- were met with some skepticism. A 25-year-old who was an MVP candidate just two seasons ago, there are a lot of people interested in how the former top pick will fare in Atlanta.
Kendrick is one of them.
"I think everybody knows I'm a big Justin fan; I was there on day one when we worked him out before he was drafted," Kendrick said, adding he has a long history with Upton and his family. "I think he's a very talented player and I want him to perform well.
"Yet, I think we did the right thing in making the trade that we made and very proud of the players that we have to replace him, and confident they will play well for us."

March 2015
Welcome Scorpio! Here is your Monthly Love Horoscope for March 2015!
Dear Scorpio, this March, like every March, will see the Sun spend the first three weeks of the month in Pisces, your fifth house of love, romance, fun times, creativity and children and Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, will enter this very sector on the 12th, where the New Moon Solar Eclipse will also take place on the 20th, setting up the the next two years for you on the love front, which is great if you are thinking about having children and also a very favorable time for falling in love or finding love again in your romantic relationship.With the Sun and Mercury in your house of love, along with the idealistic Neptune, this will be one very romantic month for you. You may fall in love quite suddenly and unexpectedly. But this love may prove to be impossible after Neptune's fog lifts and you are able to see the naked truth of the underlying reality of the person or situation that sparked your infatuation in the first place. It may resonate with what you felt and thought but prepare yourself by not setting any expectations. It is possible that you will fall in love with a coworker or even a superior.
Venus, the planet of love and relationships, will be moving into Taurus, your seventh house of relationships on March the 17th, where she will be working her magic until early April. This suggests a very favorable time for falling in love, for mending wounds in romantic partnerships, for reconnecting on a more intimate level with your romantic partner.
On the 18th, Mercury, the planet of though and communication will align with dreamy and idealistic Neptune in your fifth house of love, suggesting that your children or your lover, may lie to you or they will do something behind your back. This won't necessarily be a bad thing because they could in fact be preparing a surprise in secret
On the 23rd, Venus in your seventh house of relationships will be in excellent aspect to Neptune, suggesting that you will be feeling really dreamy and romantic. This will be a perfect day for a romantic date with your better half.

Featured Talent
At the young, uninhibited age of 3, Madalyn Hesterlee was already interested in the performing arts…singing, dancing and acting. After noticing an ad in a local magazine, Madalyn's mother met with Hoffman International and decided to pursue this venture for Madalyn. After completing her Kids Klub course and a successful photo shoot, her great images and training led to a lot of print work with Hallmark. Madalyn was one of the very first faces of Hallmark's ever-popular recordable books that debuted in 2009, and, years later, her store-front poster is still displayed in some Hallmark retails shops!
Although she has had great success with print work, a Metlife Insurance commercial has been her biggest modeling achievement to date. At a casting prior to that booking, she was asked by the production crew to draw the lovable dog, Snoopy, and laugh at a replica of the Peanuts beagle. The client was so impressed that Madalyn was asked to come back a second time and draw and color pictures of Snoopy all day! Her personality, her great laugh, and her ease in front of the camera ultimately landed her the job, and the commercial is still being aired 18 months after its debut.
For a young girl still in elementary school, Madalyn is not afraid to challenge herself and she knows that participating in continued education events such as Runway seminars and Acting workshops are beneficial to improve her skills in modeling and acting. Besides a full schedule of competitive gymnastics, piano, choir, and Girl Scouts, she has also taken the initiative to involve herself in school plays and theater. It is a blend of her modeling experiences and extra-curricular activities that have grown her confidence. Being a good listener has enabled her to take direction well on-set, and she is a self-proclaimed happy girl. "I love to smile and be happy all the time," Madalyn says. With an infectious spirit like hers, we know that Madalyn has an abundance of great opportunities that lie ahead of her. The Hoffman staff is excited about her attending the AMTC SHINE event in Orlando, Florida this summer. She will be competing in modeling, acting, singing, and dance competitions and continuing her passion in performing arts that began seven years ago.

Drink, Don't Drive: How Obama's Green Obsession Led me to Drink (and it's good for the planet!) »
By Jonathan Bean | Tuesday August 2, 2011 at 12:39 PM PDT | 3 Comments
Get ready for life in ultra small cars, shorn of spare tires and other unnecessary weight. The Obama administration has set the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards to 54.5 mpg! There will be fines (read: added costs) if you choose the wrong kind of vehicle or buy from an auto company that fails…

The Morehouse College mission statement calls for the "promotion of understanding and appreciation of the specific knowledge and skills needed for the pursuit of professional careers and/or graduate study." In order to accomplish this objective, the College requires all students to attain "Computer Literacy and Information Fluency" as a part of its General Education Core Requirements. (See College Catalog.) Further, the College has developed an information literacy program for its students as a part of the piloted core curriculum, enhanced the use of technology as a teaching tool, and provided access to and training in the use of technology.
Computer Literacy and Information Fluency
Student proficiency is measured by a student earning a "C" or higher in one of the following courses: CSC 101: Survey of Computers and Software Packages; CSC 106: Introduction to Computer Science I; CSC 110: Computer Programming I; BUS 322: Management Information Systems; SOC 301: Statistics; SOC 302: Social Research Methods; or SOC 403: Survey Research and Data Analysis. As noted in the College's catalog, demonstration of competency can be measured by completing one of these courses or by performing the following set of hands-on tasks in a computer lab: use of basic terminology of computer technology, create and edit documents using a word processor, create on-line presentation materials, create tables and charts, create a personal database, exchange e-mail with others, and use a Web browser to locate resources of interest. A student's major will dictate whether he completes a course or a set of hands-on tasks in a computer lab. For instance, business and economics majors are advised to take BUS 322; science and dual engineering majors are advised to take CSC 101 and/or CSC 106; and sociology majors are advised to take SOC 301, 302, or 403. Majors in the humanities are advised to take CSC 101. Department chairs from any of the majors may select hands-on tasks in a computer lab in lieu of one of the courses. Students must satisfy the computer literacy competency requirement prior to graduation.
Information Literacy
In order to strengthen information fluency/information literacy as one of the learning outcomes (#6) of its General Education Program, the College has developed an Information Literacy Program overseen by an Information Literacy Committee. This Committee has addressed information literacy in light of national expectations of accountability of information literacy. By definition, demonstration of the competency in the 21st century requires application of critical thinking skills and computer literacy. Produced in 2007 by General Education's Information Literacy Committee was the Information Literacy Syllabus. Distributed to students via department chairs, the Information Literacy Syllabus outlines the American Library Association's information literacy competency standards for higher education: (1) the information literate student determines the nature and extent of the information needed; (2) the information literate student accesses needed information effectively and efficiently; (3) the information literate student evaluates information and its sources critically and incorporates selected information into his or her knowledge base and value system; (4) the information literate student, individually or as a member of a group, uses information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose; and (5) the information literate student understands many of the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information and accesses and uses information ethically and legally. To achieve consistency in the demonstration of computer literacy and information literacy, in Fall 2007, the Information Literacy Committee implemented a two-hour, Web-based Research Skills Program that has been influenced by the ALA performance criteria. Seniors who have not taken a computer science course will complete the Research Skills Program. Starting in Fall 2008, incoming students will complete the Research Skills Program or an equivalent (ETS' iSKills Test). Students who score below the cut-off score of 50 would be required to take CSC 101, CSC 106, CSC 110, or BUS 322. At a future time, these courses will be reviewed to determine whether ALA's performance criteria are being demonstrated. The ALA performance criteria are reinforced in ENG 101-102 in the standing core and in ENG 104-105, ENG 104L-105L, SOC 200, HIS 113, and ENG 415 in the piloted core.
Technology as a Teaching Tool
In August 2003, UNCF granted Morehouse College funds to advance its instructional technology program. This funding served as the catalyst for improving the resources for teaching and learning.
The funding enabled the College to:
A progress report demonstrates the impact this program has had on the teaching learning process at the College.
Access to Technology
The College provides general access to technology through its use of the following:
Additional access is provided by computer laboratories and/ or computer aided instruction in the following departments:
Chemistry General Education
Telecommunications Foreign Languages
Biology Psychology
Mathematics General Business
Physics Economics
Computer Science English
