Former West Virginia head women's track and field coach Jeff Huntoon enters his fourth year as the associate head coach for the Indiana track and field program. Huntoon works with IU's men's and women's sprints, hurdles and jumps. Huntoon, the 2003 NCAA Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year, came to Bloomington after 18 years with the Mountaineers, which included a top-20 national finish during the 2005 season. He served as the assistant head men's and women's coach for 10 years prior to being promoted to the head men's and women's coach in 1999.
Some of Huntoon's credentials include coaching an Olympic Gold medalist, four Olympians and 11 Olympic trials qualifiers. He has mentored 50 All-Americans (36 women and 10 men) and 85 national qualifiers. Additionally, WVU athletes won two NCAA individual championships, 77 individual conference championships and more than 92 school records were established under his watch.
At Indiana, Huntoon's impact can be seen dramatically in Derek Drouin. The sophomore won NCAA titles during the 2010 indoor and outdoor seasons in the high jump after finishing as the indoor runner-up as a freshman. He was named Big Ten Field Athlete of the Year for both seasons in 2010 as well. Drouin's titles are the third and fourth by Huntoon pupils. The Ontario-native also brought home the title from the Canadian National Championships. As a freshman Drouin was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year, and in two indoor and outdoor seasons, Drouin has claimed four Great Lakes Region Athlete of the Year awards. Drouin has added three Big Ten titles and just continues to get better.
The 2010 indoor and outdoor seasons were a demonstration of Indiana's continued improvement in the sprints and jumps under Huntoon. The Hoosiers saw Big Ten medal-winning performances in the sprints from Devin Pipkin and Kind Butler. Butler then added All-America honors as a leg of the distance medley relay. The pair helped lead Indiana's 4x100m relay to the NCAA East Preliminary Round, where they recorded the fifth-best time in IU history.
In the jumps, the Hoosiers continued to be among the nation's best. Drouin's season speaks for itself, but Ashley Rhoades closed out her career with a Big Ten title and an All-America certificate. Sophomores Olu Olamigoke and Rex Parker each finished just inches away from the NCAA Championships in the triple jump, with Olamigoke taking a medal at the Big Ten indoor meet. Newcomer Emma Kimoto showed definite promise, advancing to the NCAA East Prelims.
In combined events, freshman Courtney Woodard and Laura Morris each showed they have the ability to make an impact in the Big Ten Conference, as the pair finished sixth and seventh respectively at the Big Ten Outdoor Meet. Huntoon's long-time pupil, and current IU assistant coach, Abbie Norton took her level of competition to a new level, competing for Team USA at the Thorpe Cup in Russia. Norton was a scorer for the team, helping the U.S. sweep the competition for the nation's second win ever in the annual competition.
Huntoon's effect on the IU program was very apparent in his second season in Bloomington. Huntoon's jumpers, sprinters and multi athletes won three Big Ten titles, recorded three indoor provisional qualifications and nine regional qualifications.
Kiwan Lawson added a Big Ten long jump crown, and Ashley Rhoades won the Big Ten high jump title. Lawson wasn't the only Hoosier to claim All-Big Ten honors in the long jump, as Cedric Hudson took second, showing IU's dominance in the event. Rhoades and Drouin advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
In his first season with the Hoosiers, Huntoon guided a talented group of seniors, including Courtney Johnson, Kyle Jenkins and Lawson to outstanding performances during the outdoor season. The trio qualified for the NCAA Championships, along with transfer Abbie Stechschulte, with Lawson earning his first NCAA All-America certificate. Stechschulte, an All-American at West Virginia, continued her career and was a national qualifier, as well as an Olympics Trials qualifier with Jenkins under Huntoon's tutelage. His first season at Indiana also resulted in 11 Hoosiers earning a trip to the NCAA Mideast Region Championships, two Big Ten championships and seven medalists.
Prior to coming to IU, Huntoon's 2007 season at West Virginia was highlighted by Stechschulte becoming Huntoon's 44th All-American with her sixth-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark., in March 2007.
In 2006, Huntoon coached Stechschulte to a BIG EAST title in the pentathlon during the indoor season and sent seven athletes to the NCAA East Regional in the outdoor season.
The Mountaineers' top-20 finish in 2005 was accompanied by a pair of top-three finishes at the BIG EAST and ECAC outdoor championships. The team also had numerous individual champions at events such as the BIG EAST, ECAC, NCAA, Penn and Mt. SAC Relays.
Equally as exciting as the results on the track were the results in the classroom. With the largest roster in the program's history, the Mountaineers achieved their highest overall team grade point average and placed their greatest number of athletes on the Athletic Director's Academic Honor Roll. The team performed so admirably in the classroom, that WVU recorded the nation's highest team GPA.
Early in his coaching career, Huntoon was one of a handful of coaches invited to attend the USA T&F Elite Sprint and Hurdle Seminar in Orlando, Fla., a seminar giving coaches the chance to observe and break down the technique of elite caliber athletes and to learn about the biomechanics of each event. This opportunity had a profound effect on the young coach and is a major part of the day-to-day training philosophy he currently employs.
Huntoon's non-overbearing, yet technically demanding, style has allowed many of his athletes to attain numerous record-setting performances. His past coaching achievements include coaching student-athletes to conference championships in 14 different events.
Huntoon guided James Jett, a 2001 WVU Hall of Fame inductee and 10-year professional football veteran, to his Gold medal performance as a member of the 4x100m relay in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Jett also garnered a pair of runner-up finishes in the 1992 NCAA championships, leading the men's program to its highest NCAA team finish in school history. Connie Ellerbe, a 2005 inductee, was the NCAA runner-up in 55.87 (current school record) and fifth-place finisher in 400m hurdles at the 1992 Olympic Trials in New Orleans. Pat Itanyi also had a stellar career in which she captured the NCAA long jump title in 1995. Itanyi's 22'1" effort was the 10th-best collegiate jump in NCAA history. Jett and Itanyi had shared WVU's record for most All-America honors in a career with seven before Metcalfe earned her ninth and final honor in 2005.
In 2004, Huntoon helped the Mountaineers achieve their highest ECAC team finish in school history. West Virginia placed second at the 2004 ECAC Indoor Championships, its highest finish since 2000. In the final season as men's coach (WVU dropped men's track and field in 2003), Huntoon was named the 2003 NCAA Division I Mid-Atlantic Coach of the Year after the Mountaineers outscored over 80 schools at the 127th IC4A championship to claim their first and only title.
The Kenosha, Wis., native attended high school in Littleton, Colo., and earned his bachelor's degree and K-12 teaching certificate in physical education from Northern Colorado in 1988. An accomplished athlete at UNC, Huntoon began his career as a walk-on before earning a scholarship and serving as team captain as a junior and senior. He was a two-time conference champion and was named outstanding performer by conference coaches. He was a three-time NCAA qualifier in the high hurdles and the decathlon and still holds UNC's record in the 110-meter high hurdles.
Huntoon earned his master's degree in teacher education from WVU in 1992. He and his wife Ann have two children, son Jordan and daughter Jennifer.

Mountlake Terrace powers past Monroe in softball
Hawks collect 13 hits in a 10-5 win over the Bearcats Thursday afternoon

Mountlake Terrace's Hannah Baisch makes contact early in the game against Monroe. Mountlake Terrace won 10-5.
The Hawks went for 13 hits and scored runs in every inning except the second and the seventh in a nonleague 10-5 victory over Monroe.
The biggest hit accounted for just one of the Hawks 10 runs, but it will be one that sophomore second baseman Hannah Wilcox never forgets. Wilcox drove an Alyssa Egan pitch over the fence for her first career home run in the bottom of the fifth inning.
"That was my first one, ever," Wilcox said after the game. "It was amazing. I didn't think it was going over, but when it did, I swear it was the best feeling ever."
Mountlake Terrace coach Shannon Rasmussen said Wilcox showed a bit of her power in the team's jamboree.
"The very first pitch in our jamboree, she turned and ripped on it her first at-bat and hit it over the fence, but it was foul," Rasmussen said. "I talked to her after that and I said, 'that was an awesome hit, great job.' She has been seeing the ball great this year and finally was able to get a hold of the ball and hit it hard."
For a young player such as Wilcox, the first home run often gives them confidence to know they can do it again.
"The first one that she hit over there, even though it was foul, she was pretty excited," Rasmussen said. "She was like, 'I didn't know I could hit it over the fence.' And so I think she is pretty excited about it."
The moment of the night might have belonged to Wilcox, but she wasn't the only one in the Hawks' lineup that hit. Rasmussen said that her team had struggled with the bats early in the season, but has started to break through in the past two games.
"Our first two games, our bats were pretty quiet and we were kind of waiting on them to get ready," Rasmussen said. "We've got a great lineup of hitters up-and-down. We've got a lot of girls that can make really good contact and can hit the ball really hard. We've been waiting for them to step up.
"Finally the last game that we played on Monday, we finally broke out and had a really big inning and so I was hoping it was going to carry over into this game and it definitely did.
Starting pitcher Maddy Kristjanson picked up her second win of the season, but she helped herself just as much at the plate, batting 4-for-5. Sammy Harter went 2-for-4 with two RBI and Wilcox was 2-for-3 with two runs scored.
The defensive play of the game belonged to Wilcox as well. Trailing 10-4, Lexi Trombley led off the inning for Monroe with a single to center field. The next batter, Bailey Berchack had an opportunity to put two runners on with nobody out and it looked like she would do just that with a liner toward right field. However, Wilcox made an leaping grab to rob Berchack of a hit and then turned it into a double play by throwing out runner Taylor Lowe, who had strayed too far from first base and couldn't get back in time.
Instead of two on and nobody out, the Bearcats had two out and nobody on and that pretty much sealed their fate.
Monroe had its share of chances in the game, but could never put together a big inning. Trailing 3-0 in the bottom of the second inning, Rachael Delamare, Michaela Johnson and Kathleen Sundet hit three straight doubles, but the Bearcats managed just one run.
"You've got to stay with your competition," Monroe coach Curt Eskeback said. "When they are hitting the ball, we have to match it and errors don't help."
The Bearcats committed five errors in the game.
Delamare led the Bearcats offensive attack, batting 4-for-4 with three doubles and two RBI.

It was David the First I ran into on Saturday night. I had seen him prairie dogging through a doorway a few minutes before he sauntered over, not to talk to me but to drape a proprietorial arm across my shoulders and ask the three men I was with for their permission to "borrow" me for ten minutes. He was met with blank stares and a hostile silence. How I love the three of them for that! "Five minutes?" he asked, still not acknowledging my presence other than with his request to appropriate my person temporarily, for reasons unspecified. His joke was wearing thin now, and his confidence waning. "Two minutes?" he said. I'd have said you could hear a pin drop, but we were in Whelans, so all you could hear was shit indie and shouting culchies. "Rosie's very famous, you see!" he said, still looking expectantly at the three men, who were, to their credit, still staring stonily back. "Hello David" I said, sighing like I do when the cat trails shit from his litterbox across the kitchen floor. I introduced him to Andrew and he made exaggerated "I'm impressed!" noises before exclaiming "In that case...", grabbing the woman standing behind him by the wrist and pulling her forward to introduce her to me as his wife. I shook her hand. "We were talking about you on our honeymoon" he said, and I felt her toes curl. He made more shouty noises about me being famous and asked again if he could "borrow" me. I asked him what he meant by saying that I was famous and he said "ah now, I think you're exaggerating a bit there! Famous!".
Sweet Jesus.
Feeling sorrier for his wife than you should for someone you've just met, I tried to instigate some kind of normal conversation. The what-are-you-up-to-these-days sort. He hadn't rehearsed this, though, so he just stood there, braying like a donkey and farting like a dog after a chip-shop curry, while his wife gently tugged at his sleeve, saying that she'd lost her handbag and that they needed to go and look for it. "Give us a hug" he said, so I gave him a pat on the back. "A proper hug!" he said. "I'm holding a pint" I said "but it was nice to see you."
"You don't mean that" he said. "Not really" I admitted. I don't think he even noticed. He still had an inane grin plastered across his face. As his wife pulled him away, he leaned in close and whispered conspirationally "I bet you thought this would go better than it has".
I'll admit that I indulged in revenge fantasies for a time after he broke up with me. Ones where he asked me to take him back and I dismissed him with a tinkling laugh (in my fantasies, I had a tinkling laugh and twinkling eyes and big breasts and a small waist and a pony) and strolled off on the arm of my handsome black fiancé. I was 17 at the time, and such was the scope of my ambition. Within a year of us breaking up, however, I'd moved on to David the Second, and though I thought him a vast improvement, he was alarmingly similar to David the First and thus not really anything to boast about. Our relationship didn't last long, and my revenge fantasies post David the Second changed to reflect my newly adopted sense of myself as an independent woman (basically the same fantasy, minus the handsome black fiancé. I still hadn't come to terms with being a husky, small-breasted, thick-waisted woman - that came later). I didn't have any more boyfriends til Andrew, and my revenge fantasies these days largely feature heavy plant pots falling on the cat (because the little fucker keeps knocking my potted herbs from the window sills).
Had I thought about it, I imagine David would have been right. I would have thought it would go better than it did. I couldn't have anticipated how badly he'd handle running into me again after twelve years, and I'd have thought that if he did, I'd feel good about it. But I didn't. I felt embarrassed to have seen it and I felt a furious pity for his wife. I felt an immense gratitude to my friends who stood by and made no attempt to diffuse his buffoon's bluff, and I felt smug that I'm not on Facebook, where hideous long-time-no-sees happen with horrible regularity and ugly photographs.

Muscle injuries can be treated at home
Follow these tips to treat common muscle injuries
By Dan Williams, Contributing writer
Muscle injuries are common and most individuals experience at least one of these in their lifetime. Muscle injuries are usually classified as sprains and strains. Severe injuries are tears to the muscle fibers or a rupture of the tendon where the muscle inserts on the bone.
Conditioning or stretching before exercise is very important to decrease the incident of injuries occurring. Many injuries occur due to pushing ourselves to the limit or overworking a muscle group. When a muscle is injured it is very painful and uncomfortable. It will hurt with any motion or stress to that area. Extremity injuries are particularly a problem since we are using them in most aspects of daily life. A tear or rupture is evident by the area turning black and blue, swelling at the site of injury, and sometimes numbness experienced farther away from the site.
This numbness is due to pressure on the nerves from the swelling. The vast majority of muscle injuries are benign and easily treated without the assistance of a health care provider.
Recommended treatment for your common muscle strains and sprains are as follows:
1. Apply ice to the injured area.
2. Elevate to decrease swelling.
3. Wrapping sometimes helps with the pain, but be careful not to wrap too tight.
4. Pain relief is helpful with over the counter medication. Ibuprofen helps not only with pain, but with inflammation. Acetaminophen helps with the pain only. Avoid using aspirin as it can make bleeding worse.
5. Try to immobilize or not use that muscle group. Any increased motion or activity will increase the pain and delay healing. Try thinking about muscle injuries as ankle sprains. The more you use the injured ankle, the longer it will take to heal.
6. Proper rehabilitation. Once the muscle starts improving, slowly start working that area. When you get to a level of movement without much pain, you can slowly increase weight and range of motion.
7. Heat has its place in muscle strains. Most health care providers recommend using heat a week or two weeks after resolution. Ice constricts blood vessels and decreases swelling. Heat dilates blood vessels and can actually increase swelling in the acute injury phase.
Should there be no improvement in one to two weeks of appropriate treatment and rest, then one should seek out a health care provider. With good judgment and proper care, one can minimize all injuries. Condition yourself. Take exercising slowly and gradually increase your training. With this implementation, many can decrease the incidence of muscle injuries.

Kamui is a powerful Mangekyō Sharingan dōjutsu that creates a unique and specialised form of space–time ninjutsu. It allows the user to achieve two very distinct, yet closely associated feats — teleportation and intangibility.
Overview Edit
Kamui allows the user to transfer anything to another dimension. Once a target is sent to this dimension, it is unable to escape.[4] This technique, when used through the right eye, is also able to make the user "intangible" by transporting portions of their body to the same pocket dimension.[5] While both awakened their Mangekyō Sharingan,[6] Obito was able to instinctively make regular use of Kamui while Kakashi seemingly didn't become aware of it until some time after Sasuke Uchiha defected from Konohagakure.
Kakashi likens the characteristics of this technique to those of the Flying Thunder God Technique, but notes that it seems to be much more versatile since it requires neither a seal nor a summoning tattoo to be performed.[7] Minato also openly admitted Kamui exceeds both his and the Second Hokage's space–time techniques.[8]
Teleportation Edit
Each eye is able to transport targets by creating a swirling distortion that opens a void into another dimension. This technique's effect acts as an attractive force, both visibly drawing the target inwards and distorting their form until they disappear. A user of the right eye requires physical contact to absorb a target, while a user of the left can do so from a distance. Kamui also allows the user to teleport to virtually any location they desire by absorbing their own body into the swirling distortion. When using Kamui to teleport, whatever the user is touching will be warped along with them and their chakra becomes untraceable.[7] It was fast enough to effectively counter a full speed Naruto in his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.[9]
After storing a target within Kamui's dimension, the user can then eject it from their eye at any time. This can be done with varying degrees of force, as demonstrated by Obito, who ejected various weapons at a moment's notice, giving opponents little opportunity to react accordingly.[10] While in Kamui's dimension, the user can transport targets out of said dimension at any time, even without establishing physical contact.[11] Despite not always being present, Obito could keep targets under genjutsu while they were confined inside this technique's pocket dimension, thus keeping them incapacitated for extended durations.[12]
A user of Kamui can synchronise with other space–time techniques, allowing them access to other dimensions. After entering a new dimension through this method, the user is able to travel to and from said dimension, as well as any other connected dimensions, at will.[13]
Left Eye Edit
The long-range version of Kamui, an ability belonging to Obito's left eye, is primarily based on line of sight and, as such, does not require physical contact to warp a target into the other dimension. By focusing to create a barrier space and concentrating on the target within, Kamui will distort space and the target will be drawn into the other dimension. The barrier can be expanded, as Deidara was forced to fly further away in an effort to escape its effects.[14]
Right Eye Edit
The short-range version of Kamui, belonging to Obito's right eye, requires him to be in close proximity with his target to warp the target. However, this eye has a unique variation of teleportation akin to intangibility. When activated, any part of the user's body that overlaps with a solid object is seamlessly warped to the other dimension, making it appear as though the user is phasing through them. This ability can dodge most attacks, and by overlapping their entire body into large objects, the user can completely conceal their presence while temporarily erasing all traces of their chakra. This ability can also be used to travel through the ground; a characteristic that Obito often exploited to ambush his opponents from below.[15] The user also seemingly possesses the capability to extend this intangibility to whatever they are touching at the moment of activation,[16] as long as they are able to maintain some form of contact with at least a part of the desired item or person.[17] It also allows the user to bypass even the strongest Barrier Ninjutsu, as Obito passed through the one meant to prevent anyone from entering the area where Kushina Uzumaki was giving birth.[18][19] This technique also wipes out the user's chakra signature, preventing sensors from picking up their presence.
Both Eyes Edit
When both eyes are used together on the same target, the teleportation process works twice as fast.[20] Through both eyes, the user can create two distortions at the same time and connect them. This was demonstrated when Obito first used the long-range Kamui to synchronise with Yomotsu Hirasaka, and then used the short-range Kamui to teleport himself, as well as those touching him, through the portal into another dimension.[21]
The user can not only create two distortions, but also create a portal in their line of sight that can connect two dimensions. Doing this, however, requires a tremendous amount of chakra and places significant strain on the user's eyes, causing both to bleed.[22]
Using both eyes on one's self allows the user to augment their other techniques, such as aiding in the usage of attacks through "intangibility" or expanding the range and number of targets to teleport through projectiles.[23]
Drawbacks Edit
Since this technique was shared by two different users of the same pair of eyes, both parties could use their own technique to counter the effectiveness of the other, thus making it useless to use against one another directly.[24] Obito could extend this negation to targets outside of his own body by concentrating on the warped space, as he negated Kakashi's attempt to decapitate the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.[25] Similarly, Kakashi was able to escape Obito's attempts to trap him in the other dimension and influence attacks to hit the former should he attempt to phase through them.[26]
The Mangekyō Sharingan is a dōjutsu that, with continuous usage, burdens the user with the loss of their eyesight. Since this is the source of Kamui, using it in rapid succession put Kakashi's body at risk as well. As his Sharingan was transplanted, usage of this technique posed an even greater risk to Kakashi. Similar to Amaterasu, repeated use of the technique puts a great deal of strain on the user, which can cause the eye to bleed when overused.[27]
Kakashi was originally only able to use this technique up to three times a day before being rendered immobile, and his aim and control over the size of the barrier were imperfect.[14] Over time his aim and control improved, as he was able to accurately warp away small and fast moving objects, such as a nail,[28] as well as consecutively warp away two fast-moving arrows.[29] Later, he became able to use this technique several more times in a single day and attempted to transport a target as large as the Demonic Statue's head, though doing so required time to prepare the necessary amount of chakra.[30] After receiving chakra from Kurama, Kakashi was able to use his long-range variant of Kamui to quickly transport a target as large as Gyūki to the other dimension and later eject the tailed beast from his eye,[31] as well as utilise the technique more times than he would usually be capable of. He estimated that the influence of Kurama's chakra, when given directly by Kurama, made his usage of Kamui at least three times more powerful than usual.[32]
The right eye's primary weakness is that both aspects of Kamui cannot be used concurrently, as the user must become and remain tangible in order to utilise Kamui's teleportation, providing a small opportunity in which they are unable to pass through objects and thus, are vulnerable to injury. This deficiency means that the user must also materialise when ejecting stored items, presenting the same vulnerability.[33] According to Konan, Obito could only maintain his intangibility for approximately five consecutive minutes at a time, after which he was presumably rendered completely solid for a duration. In order to bypass this weakness and remain in Kamui's dimension for a longer duration, Obito had to "solidify" and absorb his entire body. She also revealed that the time it took him to absorb something was proportional to its mass, and that it took him longer to absorb himself than another person or object.[34]. Also, to pass through objects Obito must "activate" the intangibility to Kamui, so any part of his body will overlap with objects and people, even parts that were meant to land an attack. To land a successful blow, he must "deactivate" the intangibility, leaving him vulnerable to attack as well.
Additionally, due to the nature of this technique's intangibility, the sections of the user's body residing in Kamui's dimension can still interact normally with other objects contained within said dimension. As a result, the user can be damaged by such items, a characteristic that Kakashi exploited to injure Obito on multiple occasions during the Fourth Shinobi World War.[35] While controlling the Ten-Tails, Obito was unable to extend his intangibility to the beast or his means of connecting to its head, and was separated from it as a result.[36] After becoming the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, Obito noticed that he could no longer use Kamui's ability to let objects slip through him.[37] However, Madara was able to transport himself to and from Kamui's dimension as the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, establishing that some aspects of Kamui are still usable; although the eye he used was the left one, which did not possess the "intangibility".[38]
As shown numerous times, using Kamui with both eyes to connect to dimensions other than this technique's own requires a huge amount of chakra and caused even Obito's, the original user's, eyes to bleed.[39]
Influence Edit
Kamui is the word for a divine being in Ainu mythology, although it is almost never written with kanji in modern times. In a more general Japanese context, Kamui refers to the might and majesty of the gods, particularly the Shintō Kami.
Trivia Edit
- Unlike other Mangekyō Sharingan users, Obito's continuous usage of Kamui does not seem to cause his eyesight to deteriorate (as opposed to Kakashi, who would strain his eyesight when he used Kamui through Obito's left eye).
- In the sixth movie and several anime episodes, Obito is shown to be able to access Kamui without having his Mangekyō Sharingan activated.

Queens Of The Stone Age Biography & News

About Queens Of The Stone Age
About Queens of the Stone Age
It's been said that Queens of the Stone Age is metal for people who don't like metal. But whatever the sound, and however you choose to describe it (or enjoy it), you can't help but note this group has found a style that works.
According to Billboard, Queens of the Stone Age was 'formed from the ashes' of stoner rock icons Kyuss. Still part of its lineup today are lead singer/guitarist Josh Homme, guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, bass guitarist Michael Shuman, keyboardist Dean Fertita, and drummer Jon Theodore. Sure, the lineup has undergone plenty of change since its original formation in 1996, but wouldn't you know that Queens of the Stone Age has seemingly thrived with its revolving door of musicians.
It's been some 16 years since the band issued its self-titled debut album, and 14 years since a sophomore effort propelled them to stardom and a spot at that year's Ozzfest. Ex-Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl then joined them for a third studio album in 2002. Not only was "Songs for the Deaf" one of the year's most anticipated hard rock albums, it was preceded by a tour that saw A Perfect Circle guitarist Van Leeuwen officially come on board and hook up with the band.
There have been plenty of ups and downs for QOTSA over the last decade, but the band resettled and began recording a new album in 2012, bringing Grohl back into the fold and also working with the likes of Mark Lanegan, Trent Reznor, Jake Shears, and Elton John, as well as Nick Oliveri. Queens of the Stone Age then signed with Matador in early 2013 and their "...Like Clockwork" album followed in June.

Under the Immigration Act of 1990, the U.S. Congress set aside 10,000 annual visas for foreign investors looking for opportunities in America. Those carrots are coming in handy during what remains a debilitating credit crunch for U.S. entrepreneurs. Rather than wait a year or longer for other immigrant visas, foreign investors--through the so-called EB-5 program--can snag a slice of equity and a quick-and-dirty U.S. visa in just three-to-six months; plus, unlike other immigrant visas that might expire in a few years, the EB-5 flavor offers permanent residency. EB-5 minimum requirements: a $1 million investment from a lawful source in a new or existing commercial enterprise that directly creates at least 10 U.S. jobs. Investors can put up as little as $500,000 if the company is in a rural area or in a county sporting 150% of the average national unemployment rate. (Canada has a similar program, called the Canadian Business Immigrant Investment Program, though it doesn't impose any job-creation requirements.)
After realizing he needed a more rigorous hiring process in his fast-growing company, the entrepreneur author details his step-by-step interview process based on Topgrading hiring principles. This process enabled the author to recruit the best people possible for his company's top positions.
Every employee has the potential to be an A player, says the entrepreneur author who leads a successful growth company. The key is making sure you hire the right people in the right jobs. To do this, the author describes how he used the Topgrading hiring system to hire and manage his team for growth.
The new national jobless numbers came out Friday morning with the umemployment rate falling from 9.9 percent to 9.7 percent - thank, in large part, to the 2010 Census that hired 411,000 temporary workers.
Unless you have a strong team at the top, you and your company will struggle under the weight of growth. Knowing how to select, manage and lead a Top Team is one of the secrets to growth.
A company's name is a major intangible asset--but even a federal trademark may not be enough to protect it. This entrepreneur, owner of a media services business, discovered the difficulty in defending his intellectual property against a competitor with deeper pockets. Although he expected to win his case, the prohibitive cost of going to trial led instead to a settlement.
Founding a business was so much fun for three Harvard juniors that they did it several times--until they found something that worked. They begged, bartered and borrowed resources, with a little help from their folks. And, because they knew their industry and added value as managers, they grew their temp agency for Web professionals into a permanent, international leader.

Heavy equipment operator David Edwards breaks down a wall along Wall Street using an excavator while Dan Ewell sprays down the demolished building with a hose Thursday afternoon in Everett. The crew is clearing the way for the downtown farmers market expected to open late next year. The market is part of a larger development on Grand Avenue that includes 220 apartments and underground parking. The development, by Dargey Enterprises, includes a Hampton Inn & Suites hotel that will face W. Marine View Drive. The same developer built nearby Potala Village, which has apartments above street-level retail and restaurant space.

This is just too easy.
But I've got to do it if for no other reason because it's a joke. Plain and simple, the NCHSAA high school football playoff pairings unveiled Saturday were laughable.
There was only one problem: No one's laughing.
Not if you were Dixon, which was the big loser among area schools.
Or Northside and East Duplin, which will be part of what, in essence, could turn out to be the East Central 2-A Conference invitational in the 2-AA East pod.
By the way, what exactly is a pod?
And why do we have to have 1-A and 1-AA or 2-A and 2-AA, 3-A and 3-AA and 4-A and 4-AA? Because, grasshopper, we live in a world where everybody's got to be a winner, which is why a two-win team — oops, make that five 2-8 or 2-9 teams — made the 1-A playoffs.
Not to mention six teams who won just three games.
Three games!!!!
What the heck did these teams earn other than the right to put up their cleats and helmets until 2013?
It's a joke. Oh, I already said that, didn't I?
Consider this: Of the 256 teams that made the playoffs, 75 finished .500 or worse, which translates into 29.3 percent. Worse still, 61 of those 256 were under .500, or 23.8 percent of the playoff field.
So nearly one-fourth of the teams in the playoffs didn't even win half of their games.
And there's the problem: Too many teams make the playoffs, especially at 1-A (26 of the 64 teams were .500 or under) and 2-A (21 of the 64 finished .500 or worse).
Well at least we can say this: No one-win team made the playoffs. You can't say the NCHSAA doesn't have any standards.
But you can't just blame the NCHSAA. Blame also can be parceled out to the high school coaches and administrators, who could cry foul and ask that the playoff system be revamped so teams in the postseason actually earned a right to be there and aren't just cannon fodder for the financial bottom line.
Don't expect that to happen, however.
No matter, none of this is any solace for Dixon, which got the playoff shaft.
The Bulldogs finished 7-3 — their first seven-win season since the 1960s — and finished second to Southwest in the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference with a 4-1 record.
And Dixon is on the road this Friday night to open the 1-AA playoffs against Goldsboro (9-1) while Lejeune (5-6), which lost to Dixon 33-12 last week
OK, I know it's apples and oranges, both of which are rotten. Dixon is bigger than Lejeune and is in the 1-AA playoffs while the Devilpups are in 1-A.
But it's still a joke.
Dixon deserved a home game, which would have been a first in school history. But thanks to the NCHSAA's ridiculous playoff pairing pod system the Bulldogs are not.
"Unbelievable, isn't it?" Lejeune coach Darryl Schwartz said of Dixon's plight.
Yeah, coach, it is.
But it's not the only shake-your-head-in-wonder (or disgust) moment when you scan the playoff brackets.
Let's look at the 2-AA East pod, a.k.a., the
Of the eight teams, four are from the
Undefeated league champion Northside (11-0) plays host to Croatan (6-4), which finished fourth and lost to the Monarchs 41-13 on Sept. 28. If Northside wins as expected, it could wind up the next week playing Topsail, which finished third in the
Meanwhile, on the other side of the bracket looms East Duplin, which could end up playing at Northside in the regional semifinal in a rematch of Friday night's 21-14 win by the Monarchs that gave them the league title.
Isn't that special?
"The bad part of it is East Duplin and Northside are two of the best teams in the East, and you're going to pair them up that early? It doesn't seem to do justice for what the playoff system is set up to be, to show the strongest teams as they progress along because you're eliminating them early."
Who said that?
A coach who should know what it's like to get the playoff shaft: Dixon's Ray Swaney, who basically took the high road in his own case, saying wherever the NCHSAA puts the Bulldogs, that's where they'll play.
But you know Swaney doesn't like it, with good reason because the state's football playoff system is a joke.

|After struggling offensively in their first ten games, the Bruins have now scored 18 times in their last three tilts. (Getty)
BOSTON – Tyler Seguin called it "one of the biggest shifts in hockey." Jack Edwards, with his usual flair for the dramatic, calls it "the vulnerable minute."
Whatever the nomenclature, the Bruins have just about perfected the shift following a goal over the last two games.
Saturday's fireworks against Toronto were impressive, but Tim Thomas made it clear that the Bruins only needed one goal to beat the Maple Leafs. Monday night, the Bruins scored two goals within a minute of each other twice, and it was the difference against an Islander team that briefly looked like it could steal a win on the road.
Just 29 seconds after Nathan Horton made it 2-1 Boston at the 13:38 mark of the first period, Patrice Bergeron hit Tyler Seguin with a feed across the slot, and Seguin added to his team-leading goal haul with a snap shot to beat Islander starter Evgeni Nabokov – the last shot the Russian saw, as he was then lifted for Al Montoya.
"Well that's a big thing for us, is definitely that shift after a goal," Seguin said. "It's huge and I think (David Krejci's) line did it tonight back-to-back. That's one of the biggest shifts in hockey. So right now we're doing a good job at capitalizing on it."
Seguin's goal was the game-winner, but the other rapid pair he referred to, collected by Krejci and linemates Nathan Horton and Milan Lucic, were arguably more important overall.
It started with a nice play by Krejci, who fell back to pick up a cross-ice pass from defenseman Dennis Seidenberg and put it in front of Lucic up the left wing boards. Lucic made a strong move to get the puck, and then himself, around New York's Steve Staios, then gave to an untouched Horton at the Islander blue line. Horton closed in on Al Montoya long enough to get the goaltender to commit, then slid the puck back to Lucic for a tap-in to make it 4-2 with 15:26 to go.
What came next was a nearly perfect sequence shift by the Krejci-Lucic-Horton line, plus defensemen Joe Corvo and Dennis Seidenberg, and it was the dagger the Bruins needed to bring their third straight victory home.
The Islanders won the faceoff after Lucic's goal, and immediately drew back into their own end. They never escaped. Former Bruin Brian Rolston's giveaway on the breakout put the puck on Lucic's stick, and the winger sent it across to Horton on the left wing half boards. Horton sent it slowly around the Islander net, and Corvo made a good pinch to pick it up on the opposite side. He gave it to Krejci, but had to make two more stops at the blue line to keep the puck in the offensive zone.
After the second blue-line possession save, Corvo sent a pass across to Seidenberg, who put it right back on Corvo's stick on the right wing. Corvo fired a slap shot that Islander goaltender Al Montoya stopped, but the rebound fell to Horton, sitting unmolested by New York defensemen Mark Eaton and Milan Jurcina.
One backhand swipe later, the Bruins were up 5-2 and in control for good.
"Well we wanted to show we have a killer instinct here and we showed it tonight again," Krejci said. "Once we got a one-goal lead, we don't want to sit back and wait for them. You keep going forward and keep playing our game so that's what happened."
It's almost a 180 from where the Bruins were at about a week ago, left flummoxed by missed opportunities in three straight losses including a lifeless 4-2 defeat at home to San Jose to start the slide. Where the team then was talking about not capitalizing on chances and not doing the little things consistently, on Monday night all anyone could talk about was getting those things right.
"When we score a goal, we seem to come back the next shift and really, we've always emphasized how important that shift following the goal for or against is," Julien said. "Our guys just have been good at responding when they go back, and they get off to a real good shift. In Toronto, same thing, we scored a couple of quick goals.
"Tonight, same thing. It's just paying attention to little details and what every part of the game means to your hockey club, and our guys are just responding to that right now."

Tuks thrashed TUT 40-0, while there were also wins for NMMU, Maties and UJ in the second round of the Varsity Cup.
Tuks got their revenge for last year's shock Pretoria derby defeat as they ran in five converted tries to secure a massive bonus-point victory against the Vikings in Tshwane.
Fullback Clayton Blommetjies scored the only try in the first half as the visitors led 8-0 at the break.
Tuks then delivered a strong second-half performance, which saw hooker Jacques Momberg, reserve flyhalf Willie du Plessis and centre Dabeon Draghoender cross the chalk. They were also awarded a penalty try at the death as they dominated the TUT pack at a 5m scrum.
In Bloemfontein, the Madibas picked up the shock result of the round as they tamed Shimlas with a 29-27 home defeat.
Free State University looked like the side to beat this season following their impressive win over UCT in Cape Town in round one. However, a strong finish from NMMU saw the visitors come back from a 18-5 half-time deficit to record a famous bonus-point victory. Skipper Jaco Swanepoel was influential with a brace of tries.
Maties picked up back-to-back wins with a 14-12 triumph over Pukke in Potchefstroom, while UCT succumbed to their second straight defeat as they lost 29-15 to UJ in Johannesburg.
Tuks 40 (8) – Tries: Clayton Blommetjies, Jacques Momberg, Dabeon Draghoender, Willie du Plessis, Penalty try. Conversions: Wesley Dunlop, Du Plessis (4).
Shimlas 27 (18) – Tries: Robbie van Schalkwyk, Rynhardt Erwee, Oupa Nohoje. Conversions: Nico Scheepers (2). Penalties: Scheepers (3)
NMMU 29 (5) – Tries: Jaco Swanepoel (2), Martin Ferreira, Andre Goosen. Conversions: Gerrit Smith, Bradley Kretzman (2).
