Apartment Building, Former Church, Music Legend Hangout Nets $42.5M
A property at 309 West 57th Street in Midtown West that once housed a Victorian Gothic church and later saw the likes of John Lennon and Frank Sinatra pass through its doors has changed hands for $42.5 million.
The 16-story, 75,600-square-foot rental property with 102 apartments and nearly 14,000 square feet of commercial space – currently home to night club Providence NYC – was purchased by New York City-based real estate investment firms Imperium Capital and Bronstein Properties.
The property, site of a former church and later a prominent recording studio, is located near a number of popular amenities and development projects, and it's the latest in a string of high-profile acquisitions made by Imperium Capital. Read More

The Canadian study found that people who consume egg
yolks regularly had 2/3 the plaque buildup of smokers.
Think twice before you bite into a hearty breakfast of eggs
benedict slathered in hollandaise sauce — you may as well
be lighting up, according to a new study.
In terms of cardiovascular risks, the yolk-based sauce that
makes the dish so good is almost as bad for you as smokin
g cigarettes, researchers in Canada found.
"One jumbo chicken egg yolk has about 237 milligrams of
cholesterol," study author Dr. David Spence told CNN.
Spence explains that eating large amounts of cholesterol
causes plaque buildup in the blood vessels, the same way
smoking does.
When plaque builds up, the artery walls become thicker,
limiting the amount of blood that can get through the vessels
to the heart and upping risk for heart disease.
His research, published online in the journal Atherosclerosis,
found that people who eat egg yolks regularly have about
2/3 as much plaque buildup as smokers.
Yolk-lovers' buildup "follows a similar pattern to that of
cigarette smoking," researchers wrote.
People who ate three or more yolks per week had significantly
more buildup than those who ate two or less yolks per week.
Spence, a neurology professor at the University of Western
Ontario's medical school, and two colleagues looked at more
than 1,200 patients for the research.
All already had carotid plaque issues or a family history of
cardiovascular disease. Their average age was about 60
years old, but Spence stresses that cardiovascular health
is important at all ages.
"Just because you are 20 doesn't mean egg yolks aren't
going to cause any trouble down the line," he told CNN.
Spence says researchers chose to compare the effects of
eating egg yolks with the effects of smoking to provide people
with perspective, as eating yolks is typically considered
"insignificant" compared to smoking.
But some health experts say it isn't a fair comparison.

Everything is bad for you. If you get down to the brass tacks. It's why people urinate and excrete. Everything we eat or drink has toxins, so the body has to flush it all out. If there was no toxins there would be no reason to urinate or excrete.

Joker's Family Fun and GamesRead MoreCavorters of all ages caper about Joker's Family Fun and Games's massive indoor play zone, which is stocked with games and attractions that inspire climbing and sliding. Kids can scramble into the three-tiered A-Maze-Zing playhouse to navigate tubes, web bridges, and conference rooms, and toddlers can maneuver through the mini maze or hop aboard the train ride for a sightseeing jaunt around the tracks. Future adults can challenge one another in sundry classic arcade games such as skee-ball and air hockey, and more than 50 video games await thumbs desperate to win garlands of exchangeable tickets. Whippersnappers achieve liftoff in lieu of jetpack overalls on a Jolly Jump air bounce then safely glide down a 22-foot inflatable super slide. At the 14,000-square-foot Portland location, youngsters can also blast comrades in a space-age laser-tag zone, scale a towering rock-climbing wall, and master putting skills on an 18-hole mini-golf course. After extreme bouts of frolicking, families can quell tummy rumbles with slices of housemade pizza slathered in Joker's signature sauce or peek at the menu to peruse sandwiches, burgers, and chicken tenders.512 Warren Ave.Portland, ME US
Flagship CinemasRead MoreFlagship Cinemas showcases new-release films in 11 theaters peppered across seven states, equipping each of its 103 screens with stadium seating and digital surround sound. Beyond providing family-friendly entertainment for more than 15 years, Flagship Cinemas strives to maintain a reputation as the "neighborhood theater" by ensuring each location has a presence in its surrounding community through contributions to local organizations. Flagship Cinemas also builds camaraderie with customers by offering free birthday visits and distributing fanatic cards, which guests can use to earn rewards such as free film tickets or an autographed photo of their favorite usher.855 Lisbon StLewiston, ME US
Acadia Mountain GuidesRead MoreHigh above the Atlantic?s lapping waves, helmeted figures scale vertical rock walls. Undaunted, they surmount challenging obstacles and overhangs, building anchors and belaying while learning technical skills from a beginning level. They feel safe with the knowledge that they?re being overseen by American Mountain Guide Association or Professional Climbing Instructors Association-accredited climbers. Director Jon Tierney??who also boasts an international guiding license from the IFMGA??leads Acadia Mountain Guides Climbing School?s faculty of certified and experienced guides as they usher first-time and experienced explorers up majestic rock faces, snow-covered cliffs, and frozen waterfalls. Company guides frequently showcase their comfort in varied terrain as well, having applied their climbing skills on film sets to set up safety rigging for Shutter Island. Guides provide mentorship during multi-day mountaineering trips to distant mountains, and lead day trips to share pivotal climbing skills that help students scale a range of icy and rocky conditions. In an array of advanced or basic classes, they instruct pupils on principles of anchoring, top roping, belaying, and sport or lead climbing?imbuing them with the skills to scale mountainsides or be the first to reach the top of a wedding cake. Instructors also teach students mid-climb rescues, such as how to deal with medical issues and make improvised ascents, or metamorphosize into an instructor.228 Main St.Bar Harbor, ME US
Maine Indoor KartingRead MoreThe karts at Maine Indoor Karting definitely aren't of the amateur variety. The center maintains a fleet of European racing karts that balance the power of 200 CC, 6.5-hp Honda engines and wet clutch drive systems with the comfort of adjustable padded seats. Before climbing into these speed machines, adults must first attend safety briefings, suit up in provided uniforms, and strap on helmets. Drivers younger than 15 must complete an intensive safety course on how to steer safely, increase speed, and ramp over oncoming fruit carts. But all that prep proves to be worth it when drivers squeal out onto the newly renovated serpentine track and motion-blur their way through 1,200 feet of narrow stretches and sharp switchbacks. The family-fun center also houses an indoor 18-hole miniature golf course and an arcade filled with video games. An on-site café serves casual fare such as hot-dogs, hand-made pizza, and root beer floats.23 Washington AvenueScarborough, ME US
Breathing Room Yoga & Movement StudioRead MoreWhen registered yoga teacher Carissa Ciuca discovered the ancient art, she was searching for a physical activity that would free her from the restraints of her daily routine. She found that the mental and spiritual breakthroughs it inspired were what truly liberated her and helped to center her life. After training under Seane Corn—an internationally celebrated yoga teacher—among others, she realized her dream of opening her own yoga studio, then closing it once in a while so she could go home and sleep. Now, Carissa and her large, highly trained team of registered instructors strive to create a sanctuary where students of all abilities can achieve individual growth, celebrate community, and foster self-awareness. The staff helps students unite mind, body, and spirit through the flows and postures of Vinyasa, gentle yin, and postnatal classes. They created this curriculum to help students let yoga's lessons stir change in their current lives and not in their past, for which time travel yoga is notorious. When they are not immersed in their own practice, these motivating instructors empower students to reshape their lives with a comprehensive teacher certification program, which emphasizes the Vinyasa style.864 BroadwaySouth Portland, ME US
Lifestyle Fitness CenterRead MoreAt Lifestyle Fitness Center, the professional fitness team fosters svelter silhouettes and stronger bodies in a 20,000-square-foot facility brimming with Nautilus, Life Fitness, and Cybex exercise equipment. More than 80 cardio machines test every sinew and bifurcated hoof while the fleet of treadmills lights up glistening faces with personal 15-inch LCD TVs attached to each machine. Enthusiastic instructors lead dancercizers in cardio-intensive Zumba classes, help yogis of all levels twist torsos during yoga classes, and motivate students through an array of aerobics classes designed to roast calories. Exercisers can also enter the 2,500-square-foot cardio theater room for stationary cycling amid audio and video stimulation or recharge with free wireless Internet at the juice bar. The adult-supervised childcare room, with toys and beanbag chairs, allows parents to focus on their workout or to finally get some alone time with the Legos.29 Pleasant Hill RdScarborough, ME US

CBE UFAD Cooling Design Tool
The Center for the Built Environment's research team has developed a simplified, practical design procedure and associated software tool to determine cooling load requirements of underfloor air distribution (UFAD) systems. These are provided to improve the accuracy of airflow, thermal decay data, thermal comfort calculations, system design, and the operation of UFAD buildings. Screen Shots
UFAD, underfloor, Cooling load calculator, cooling, stratification, thermal comfort
Expertise Required
Knowledge about cooling load calculation and UFAD.
Practicing architects and engineers involved in the design, specification, and analysis of UFADs. Instructional tool in colleges and universities. Design/build UFAD contractors, facility engineers, energy service consultants, and UFAD and raised floor manufacturers.
User needs to input:
- Plenum configuration (series, reverse series, independent plenums, or common plenums)
- Room height (interior and perimeter)
- Floor area (interior and perimeter)
- Floor level (ground, middle or top)
- Diffuser type (interior: Swirl or variable air volume directional interior; and perimeter: variable air volume directional perimeter or linear bar grille)
- Number of diffusers (interior and perimeter)
- Design cooling load for overhead system (interior and perimeter)
- Design average temperature in the occupied zone (interior and perimeter)
- Estimated category 2 leakage (interior and perimeter)
- Set point temperature of air entering the supply plenum
- Number of occupants
- Zone orientation (north, south, east or west)
- Exterior wall length
How a user enters data: text boxes and drop-down menus
Information presented (results given for interior and perimeter):
- Airflow (through diffusers)
- Airflow (through diffusers and leakage)
- Diffuser discharge temperature
- Air temperature at 4 in. height
- Return air temperature
- Return plenum air temperature
- Average temperature in the operational zone
- Temperature difference between the head (67 in.) and the ankle (4 in.)
- Airflow per area (through diffusers)
- Airflow per diffuser
- Design airflow per area (through diffusers and leakage)
- Design cooling load calculated for an overhead (mixing) system
- UFAD cooling load ratio (UCLR)
- Supply plenum fraction (SPF)
- Zone fraction (ZF)
- Return plenum fraction (RPF)
- UFAD cooling load
- UFAD cooling load per area
- Supply plenum cooling load
- Supply plenum cooling load per area
- Zone cooling load
- Zone cooling load per area
- Return plenum cooling load
- Return plenum cooling load per area
Form of the output: pre-formatted table of results, exportable as CSV file, and 2 graphs showing interior and perimeter temperature based on height
Computer Platform
Created for Opera, Firefox, and Chrome (Internet Explorer not supported)
Programming Language
The tool can account for key differences between UFAD and traditional mixing overhead (mixing ventilation) systems. These include: (1) the difference between design day cooling load profiles; (2) the impact of a thermally stratified environment for UFAD versus well-mixed for overhead, and (3) the impact of heat transfer (temperature gain) in underfloor air supply plenums. The new design tool allows the use of a familiar load calculation procedure for overhead mixing systems as input to the UFAD design tool. The tool is a reasonable compromise between EnergyPlus simulations (very detailed but time consuming) and cooling load tool calculations based on the full mixed air hypothesis and simplification on the thermal behavior of the supply plenum. The tool allows the user to test several plenum configurations, diffuser types and numbers, and thermostat set points.
The conversion factors from the cooling load calculated for an overhead systems (mixing ventilation) and the UFAD cooling load are a valid within the boundary conditions of the simulations performed to develop the tool. Only UFAD diffuser types present in EnergyPlus were studied.

Kitchens are about two things: Productivity and storage. You need space to do prep work, cook and set finished dishes before serving. The right amount of kitchen storage placed where you need it allows you to easily access your cooking tools, pots and pans, serving ware and appliances. The best kitchens strike a balance between productivity and storage. The result is a space that is enjoyable to use and makes you want to cook more.
While other companies stock every exotic cooking accessory under the sun Storables kitchen products are carefully selected to improve your productivity and your kitchen storage. Of course, we have lots of fun accessories and clever kitchen gadgets but our focus is making your kitchen more productive so you have the time (and energy!) to use them.
A productive kitchen has counter space in just the right places. It's about quality, not quantity. People with lots of counter space often feel like they need to remodel because their counters are not placed correctly. Whether your food preparation area has too little counter space, or it's not in the right place, Storables modular Industrial Post steel shelving can be designed to meet your challenge. If your preparation surfaces are not in the right spot you can design a cart that rolls on floor-safe casters, has a butcher block preparation top and can have shelves, baskets or even a wine rack beneath. Another solution is to create shelving to store your infrequently-used appliances, freeing-up precious counter space. A movable microwave cart is another popular choice. No matter where you need your work surface, Storables can help by freeing-up existing countertop space, or creating completely new work surfaces. Either way, it is definitely less than the cost of a remodel, and you can take your cart of island with you when you move.
Adding storage to an efficient kitchen is as easy as 1-2-3! It's about making sure that your kitchen is organized well, with your most frequently used items most accessible. We offer smart organizing solutions for your kitchen drawers, sinkware, wine bottles and stemware, and even have special containers to protect your fine china and serving ware. We also offer an unmatched selection of food storage products, from plastic and glass food storage containers, airtight bulk food containers to spice bottles, lunch containers and bulk food storage containers.
Last but not least Storables offers a large selection of kitchen trash cans and recycling containers. For those who live in cities with mandatory composting initiatives, or who just like to garden or do a little something extra for the environment, we have a number of handy countertop composting containers. No matter what you need to make your kitchen more efficient and more enjoyable to use, Storables has the answer.

This question came from several of our Facebook followers who also had some interesting suggestions about how we could illustrate the cargo carrying capacity of a small SUV like the 2013 Toyota RAV4. Some suggested we haul clowns, pigs, rolls of toilet paper or just a bunch of groceries.
Instead, we decided to demonstrate the Toyota RAV4's cargo capacity using doughnuts. As you can see, the RAV4 can hold 84 dozen doughnuts. Impressive and tasty! In real world terms, the RAV4 has 73.4 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down -- which is more than the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V or Mazda CX-5.

The race for the final spot in the Earthquakes' CONCACAF Champions League group could be decided as early as Sunday.
Guatemalan Apertura winner Comunicaciones weathered the road leg of their semifinal with a 1-1 result against Marquense on Wednesday. Barring an upset, that would mean that the winner of Heredia-Halcones FC would join the Earthquakes and Montreal Impact in Group 5.
Halcones FC took a 2-0 lead at home last night. While that might seem like a significant margin, Heredia won't feel like they're too far behind come Sunday; the squad is 7-0-2 at home during the Clausura, including a 5-0 drubbing of Halcones FC on May 19. Apparently trips to Estadio del Monte on the Caribbean side of Guatemala are a daunting task.

Rafa Baca giving the commencement speech at Adelante Dual Language Academy. Congrats to the class of 2013! twitter.com/SJEarthquakes/…
— San Jose Earthquakes (@SJEarthquakes) June 13, 2013
On a cool summer afternoon in the middle of East San Jose, Quakes midfielder Rafael Baca found a way to make a very special day for 46 middle schoolers all the more memorable. Chosen as the keynote speaker for the Adalante Dual Language Academy 8th grade graduation, Baca was met with a warm welcome full of applause. While Baca chose to deliver his speech in spanish, making it tougher for me to understand, it was clear from the reactions of the students that he was able to captivate them and provide them with excellent advice for the future.
Born in Tuxpan, Mexico and raised in Englewood, California, Baca understands the importance of being proficient in more than one language. Fittingly, all the students at Adalante had completed an enjoyable nine years, armed with the ability to speak both Spanish and English and ready to move on to high school. After Baca spoke, three students had the honor of recounting their experiences at Adalante, emphasizing the close-knit community and "family" of the school. The entire ceremony was festive, as even Baca himself couldn't resist dancing to the spanish music coming from the speakers. Baca wasn't finished, however, after delivering his speech. The midfielder was called back on stage to shake the students hands before they received their diplomas, and eventually sign a few autographs for his fans.

EA DICE's Frostbite 3 engine, which powers the upcoming Battlefield 3 and the recently announced Star Wars games, will not support Wii U due to poor results from Frostbite 2 testing, engine director Johan Andersson tweeted.
EA yesterday announced a partnership with Disney to exclusively create games based on the Star Wars brand, and that they would be powered by Frostbite 3. When inquired if Frostbite 3 ever previously ran on Wii U, Andersson replied there was never such case.
"Frostbite 3 has never been running on Wii U," he said. "We did some tests with not too promising results with Frostbite 2 and chose to not go down that path."
EA in March said Battlefield 3 would skip the Wii U, as DICE creative director Lars Gustavsson saidit's best that the company sticks to doing what it knows well.
"I'd rather play it safe, deliver something really good and then look at the future and what could possibly be done than trying a bit too hard and [failing]," Gustavsson said at the time.
EA executive producer Patrick Bach at GDC provided similar thoughts, saying Wii U is not part of the team's current focus.

I really doubt they did much of a real test of FB2. As if it can run on the other 2 boxes, it could run on the wii u. They likely just didn't want to do the necessary work you have to do when porting something to a different platform.

Keep telling yourself that. Meanwhile, the rest of us are starting to notice a trend...

The CPU however is weaker, and Frostbite use CPU quite heavily.

Action/Adventure, Comedy, Romance
Singh Is Kinng, the year's most anticipated romantic action-comedy, revolves around a gang of serio-comic criminals who are transformed by a good man and his selfless love for a pretty girlLakhan. Singh aka Lucky is the 'King' of the Australian underworld accompanied by his associates. Far away, in a small village in Punjab, where Lucky was born, there exists someone more notorious than Lucky - Happy Singh. The village is fed up of his magnanimity, which has resulted in several disastrous situations. It is decided to send Singh on a long trip (that will keep him out of the village for a while) to bring back Lucky, whose despicable deeds, were maligning the image of their village. A happy-go-lucky Happy Singh, as usual, takes his mission too seriously! Along with his friend Tony Singh, who hates Happy for dragging him into this journey, he leaves for his mission. En route to Australia, he meets Sonia with whom he falls in love. After a series of comic misadventures in Australia, Happy is left with no money or shelter. The series of confusion, chaos and comic misunderstandings result in havoc, redemption and an accidental wedding! Singh Is Kinng marks Akshay Kumar's re-entry into the action-comedy minefield, supported by an able ensemble cast. With plenty of romance, chuckles, laugh-aloud moments and world music, it promises to be one of the most appealing and compelling motion pictures of 2008.

Let's call the whole thing off! Interview with Beckie Williams, author of the Busts4Justice blog 0
I've been a long-standing fan of Busts 4 Justice since their epic battle against tit-tax back in 2007, and the fabulous Busts 4 Justice blog has kept me hooked ever since. Author Beckie Williams writes topical,interesting (and sometimes controversial!) posts about the joys and faux pas' of The Lingerie World. Her sparkling wit and talent to spot a great story has often engaged me and left me thinking, her charming way with words and delightful anecdotes (anyone else fancy a ride on Cecil?!) has kept me going back to the 'B4J' blog time and time again, but recently, I left feeling dismayed.

Lake a key part of secondary's successPosted by on January 14, 2013 – 5:00 am
If there was an NFL award given to individual position coaches, Ryan Clark has no doubt who should be the recipient of the secondary coach of the year, none other than his own coach, Carnell Lake.
Lake, in his second season coaching the Steelers' defense backs, has guided the unit to be the number one pass defense in the NFL for the second year in a row.
"I told him he is the defensive backs coach of the year this year," said Clark. "When you think about the different people and lineup combinations he has had to use this year and us to finish No. 1 in pass defense is a huge accomplishment not only for us, but for Coach Lake."
The Steelers were without safety Troy Polamalu for nine games this season, while Ike Taylor missed the final five games of the year with an ankle injury. Cortez Allen started for Taylor and continued to grow, but he too was sidelined for a game while Taylor was out, and Josh Victorian, who spent most of the season on the practice squad, started against the Cowboys.
Through it all, though, the secondary was consistent allowing just 185.2 yards per game, and the players give much of that credit to Lake.
"He is an intelligent guy," said safety Will Allen. "Just his wisdom of the game and how he approaches it, his mentality, he is a tough guy. It's crazy because if you didn't know him, he hardly says anything about playing. He is a competitor. He exudes that throughout the room.
"He prepares each player for what is to come. He prepares the group very well. He believes a lot in technique. He doesn't necessarily harp on the schematics on defense. He is more about technique. That helps us tremendously. If you look at the technique of the cornerback play the last 3-4 years alone, you can see how the level has been tremendous, even the safety play. He talked to us more about tackling and covering, attention to details, and eyes. He stresses on it and harps on it. I think that has helped us become the best in the league for two straight seasons."
While the secondary would like to have been more opportunistic this year as far as turnovers, they have a lot of pride in being the top ranked passing defense for the second year, especially after they were ranked 12th against the pass in 2010, the year before Lake's arrival. What Lake did upon taking over was not overhaul the secondary, but instead he works with everyone's strengths, while bringing his understanding and style having played both cornerback and safety for the Steelers.
"He played old-school, hard-nosed hitting football," said Taylor. "He understands. He didn't force anything on us. He didn't say I am the coach and this is how it will be. He asked how we did things, and then told us how they did things. If it worked the way we did it, he will let us go with it, but if it doesn't work he will step in and tell us this is how we are doing it. When he has to put his foot down and say we are doing it this way, we are cool with it and go with what Coach Lake says. He understands us and we understand him."
Clark credits Lake with the development of the team's young corners, including Keenan Lewis who had a breakout season in his first year as a starter, as well as Allen and Curtis Brown.
"Looking at those guys, that is a lot of Carnell Lake's influence," said Clark. "If those guys don't play well for us this year we don't finish where we finish. Also he allows us to be individuals, allows us to play to our strengths. He implements the program and then he listens. He is the type of coach that will say how do you guys see it?
"When you have a coach you already respect because you know he played the game at a high level, but he also respects you, when you get that kind of camaraderie in the room it's contagious."

Glad to see Carnell sharing his expertise with the current Steelers. Loved watching him play. One of the most underrated DBs in the history of the NFL. Could play both safety positions and corner, all at Pro-Bowl level… amazing talent and ability.
By Anthony Jones on Jan 14, 2013 | Reply
So proud of my High School classmate Carnell Lake for the tremendous job he has done with the Steelers secondary. When you look at all the injuries that the secondary had to deal with this past season, and the finished ranking of #1 in pass defense, that is a great accomplishment. I look forward to a healthier season this year for the secondary as well as for the entire team. GO STEELERS!!!!
By Patrick Case on Jan 14, 2013 | Reply
Carnell Lake was one of the best DB's to ever play the game and now it seems he may become one of the best coaches as well.You can definitely see his influence in the play of Lewis,Allen and Brown.Congrats on being number 1 for a second year in a row.I know this year did not end how anyone of us wanted it to,but keep striving for excellence and we WILL be playing for #7 next year

Sorry, 8-8 is not a successful season. They may have been ranked #1 in terms of yards allowed, but it is misleading. The secondary, along with the rest of the defense didn't force enough turnovers and didn't get after opposing QB's enough. Glad #37 is back though. Lets get rid of Ike and things will be looking up in the secondary.

Carnell was a cornerstone defender pass and run,played all secondary positions either due to injury of other playrs or neded to shutdown top recievers of the time sort of like a mel blount.he would make a great defensive coordinator one day very soon hopefully with the steelers depending onthe future of dick lebeau,kevin butler,status.Go Steelers!!

For the below level talent we have in the secondary, Lake has done an excellent job with what he has to work with.I wish we had six guys that could play just like he did.He made the Pro Bowl as a safety and cornerback.Great job Coach Lake.

Congrats to Cornell Lake. Just think what they would have done with a healthy troy, James Harrison , Lamar Woodley and Bret keisel, to name a few. I'm really glad the front office is looking hard at the injuries and what can be done to reduce them in the days ahead. Got to get back to pressuring the QB.

Thanks Carnell! Your work has not gone unnoticed! Thanks for sharing your expertise and experience!

I have always been a huge fan of #37. A guy who played linebacker in college, and yet was a pro bowler at both cb and safety. One of my favorite all time steelers. He, rod, Everett, and Johnson were a great unit.
By Rob on Jan 14, 2013 | Reply
Considering that the defensive backs played roughly 3 games with its "1st string starters" this ranking is unbelievable. When you have the number one pass defense it makes a lot of sense to keep them together. Sign Keenan Lewis, Restructure Troys contract and get back to the superbowl!!!

The first game that I saw coached with Carnell as the secondary coach, I knew this guy was very good. 2 years in a row with the #1 ranking. Given no pass rush. This is a monumental accomplishment. If the Steelers don't realize this then we will be doomed to second tier. Lake should be DC. PERIOD !#$@#!$#@!

I have been a Steelers fan since 1969 and have seen many good DB's play for the steelers and the rest of the NFL. Rod Woodson and Carnell Lake were the Conner stone of the Steelers top rank defenses for many years and Woodson is already in the pro football Hall Of Fame and Carnell Lake will be there soon to join him. Congratulation to the Steelers secondary for there play and to coach Lake for his coaching success. I would love to have coach Lake around to someday become the steelers defensive coordinator after the great Dick LeBeau decides to retire.

Remember very well player Carnell Lake and Rod Woodson in the Steeler defense always admired Mr.Lake for being the quiet very classy player the true professional very few words yet carried a BIG hit! Polamalu plays very much the same way. Let your play speak for you much like your actions.

Carnell did a great job. Finishing 1st at Pasing defense is a big accomplishment. However, I´m sill a little bit dissapointed with the development and talent of some players. Curtis Brown has been a bust so far (he was drafted before Cortez Allen on same draft class, and he has been playing worst than Allen). Josh Victorian played horrible against San Diego and Dallas. And Ryan Mundy has not been anything better than a Backup player. He lost the starting role (playing for injured Polamalu) to Will Allen.
The positive things Keenan Lewis that played incredibly well and Cortez Allen. Allen became a Ball hawk the last two games (Two Ints against Bengals, Two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery against Browns). Cortez will make a push for a starting role next year, so Ike needs to get back in really good shape if he doesn´t want to lose the job to Allen or Lewis.

Carnell is one of the most underrated DBs ever. He was the complete All-Pro and we are so lucky to have him coaching our secondary. The stats speak volumes on his influence. When I worked at training camp in 1995, he was always friendly and professional too. I value his autograph above many of the others I have!

love Lake!!!
By Taylor on Jan 16, 2013 | Reply
What an awesome job he had done! Especially considering all the injuries on D this year, to hold the #1 rating with the secondary. To continue the high quality of play from the position, I would like to see Ike released, free up some big $ to make Lewis & Allen our starters, and sign them long term. A lot of young talent who have proven to Lake and the Steeler Nation they can step up.
By Henry Lagos on Jan 16, 2013 | Reply
Having someone like Carnell in the coaching staff is so important. You can tell the players respect and listen to him. I always loved his play-making ability as a safety. Hope he stays right here !!
Sorry, comments for this entry are closed at this time.


text: I thought I had read that around the time they made him champ they reportedly signed him to a 5 year deal. Obviously, this wasn't the case. Could be a work but I don't know what it would achieve. I think WWE would sign him if they could but then wouldn't know what to do with him. Hoping he re-signs with TNA.

As I mentioned when I introduced myself, I am involved in Wikipedia - my homepage is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:LessHeard_vanU (NSFPWND). One of the subjects I am most proud of, despite or maybe because of my lack of contributions to the topic, are the articles relating to TerryP (his article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Pratchett), the Discworld books (and others), and the various characters found within them.
The "Portal" (this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Discworld_books) lists every article linked to the Discworld books.
What do the members of this site think of the coverage? Are there mistakes? Is every topic covered sufficiently according to its "importance"? Do people ever edit these pages, and are they happy with that experience? Let me know - I won't fix any problems you may have, but I can show you how you can.

The news was tough for Mississippi State football fans to hear this week.
There's no college program in America that wants to hear, "NCAA investigation," but that's exactly what came to light for the Bulldogs.
Officials from MSU and the NCAA confirmed Thursday that it's working closely with each other concerning an ongoing investigation.
Over the last few months, the Bulldogs have worked in cooperation with the NCAA to examine a potential recruiting irregularity. It appears, with strong emphasis and appears, that MSU is doing everything right as far as this case is concerned.
Any investigation is a pain to have to endure, but it all goes back to how it is handled.
Not much information has come from the Bulldogs camp, the NCAA hasn't said very much, and Joe Shad of ESPN has put quite a bit out there. In fact, he's been a busy man this week reporting on news such as this in the Southeast and other areas of the country. This kind of stuff is happening everywhere, some of it gets reported and some of it doesn't.
It goes back to what was written in this space a few weeks ago when I suggested that MSU is not perfect. Well, here you go.
Someone asked me at the high school football game I covered Friday night, "how could something like this happen to the Bulldogs?" My response was, "that's just the nature of college athletics." It has become a part of the world we live in and things like this are going to come up from time to time, like it or not.
This is the first time the NCAA has knocked on the door of coach Dan Mullen, at least to the magnitude of an investigation, during his watch with the Bulldogs. He didn't seem too concerned about the situation when he met with reporters on Thursday.
How bad can it get for MSU? That's a difficult question to answer right now because many of the facts are not known. More should be revealed once the investigation has concluded.
For now, Fan Day still took place on Saturday and people came out in the rain to meet and greet the Bulldogs. There's still some excitement surrounding the program.
Exactly how the news of the week makes a difference in that support as we move forward remains to be seen, but a full house can be expected at Davis Wade Stadium on Saturday when Mississippi State and Jackson State meet on the gridiron.

The Sandman Library
A total of ten collections contain the full run of the series and have all been kept in print. They are as follows:
Preludes and Nocturnes (collecting The Sandman #1-8, 1988-1989, ISBN 1-56389-011-9): Dream is imprisoned for decades by an occultist seeking immortality. Upon escaping, he must reclaim his objects of power while still in a weakened state, confronting an addict to his dream powder, the legions of Hell, and an all-powerful madman in the process. Guest starring several DC Comics characters including John Constantine, Scott Free, J'onn J'onzz, Scarecrow, Etrigan the Demon, the original Sandman, and Doctor Destiny. It also features the introduction of Lucifer.
The Doll's House (collecting The Sandman #9-16, 1989-1990, ISBN 0-930289-59-5): Morpheus tracks down rogue dreams that escaped the Dreaming during his absence. In the process, he must shatter the illusions of a family living in dreams, disband a convention of serial killers, and deal with a "dream vortex" that threatens the existence of the entire Dreaming. Features Hector Hall as the Bronze Age Sandman.
Dream Country (collecting The Sandman #17-20, 1990, ISBN 1-56389-016-X): This volume contains four independent stories. The imprisoned muse Calliope is forced to provide story ideas, a cat seeks to change the world with dreams, Shakespeare puts on a play for an unearthly audience, and a shape-shifting immortal (obscure DC comics character Element Girl) longs for death.
Season of Mists (collecting The Sandman #21-28, 1990-1991, ISBN 1-56389-041-0): Dream travels to Hell to free a former lover, Nada, whom he condemned to torment thousands of years ago. There, Dream learns that Lucifer has abandoned his domain. When Lucifer gives the Hell's key (and therefore, the ownership of Hell) to the Sandman, Morpheus himself becomes trapped in a tangled network of threats, promises, and lies as gods and demons from various pantheons seek ownership of Hell.
A Game of You (collecting The Sandman #32-37, 1991-1992, ISBN 1-56389-089-5): Barbie, a New York divorcée (introduced in The Doll's House), travels to the magical realm that she once inhabited in her dreams, only to find that it is being threatened by the forces of the Cuckoo. This series introduces the character of Thessaly, who will play a key role in Morpheus' eventual fate.
Fables and Reflections (collecting The Sandman #29-31, 38-40, 50, Sandman Special #1 and Vertigo Preview #1, 1991-1993, ISBN 1-56389-105-0): A collection of short stories set throughout Morpheus' history, most of them originally published bot before and after the "Game of You" story arc. Four issues dealing with kings and rulers, were originally published under the label Distant Mirrors, while three others, detailing the meetings of various characters, were published as the Convergences arc. Fables and Reflections also includes the Sandman Special, originally published as a stand-alone issue, which assimilates the myth of Orpheus into the Sandman mythos as well as a very short Sandman story from the Vertigo Preview promotional comic.
Brief Lives (collecting The Sandman #41-49, 1992-1993, ISBN 1-85286-577-6): Dream's erratic younger sister Delirium convinces him to help her search for their missing brother, the former Endless Destruction, who left his place among the "family" three hundred years before. However, their quest is marred by the death of all around them, and eventually Morpheus must turn to his son Orpheus to find the truth, and undo an ancient sin.
Worlds' End (collecting The Sandman #51-56, 1993, ISBN 1-41768-617-0): A "reality storm" (see Zero Hour: Crisis in Time) strands travelers from across the cosmos at the "Worlds' End Inn". To pass the time, they exchange stories.
The Kindly Ones (collecting The Sandman #57-69 and Vertigo Jam #1, 1994-1995, ISBN 1-56389-204-9): In the longest Sandman story, Morpheus becomes the prey of the Furies, avenging spirits who torment those who spill family blood.
The Wake (collecting The Sandman #70-75, 1995-1996, ISBN 1-56389-287-1): The conclusion of the series, wrapping up the remaining loose ends in a three-issue "wake" sequence, followed by three self-contained stories.
