Nobody can exactly say that Pat Shed's competitive return to Starkville wasn't individually positive.
The hometown boy, who starred at Starkville High under then-head coach Bill Lee and eventually take his game to East Mississippi Community College, finished with 69 yards on a career-high 16 carries in his first-ever game at Davis-Wade Stadium.
Shed, who said he had at least 30-40 present Saturday night to see him play, came into the contest second on the team in rushing with 317 yards and second on the team in catches with 18.
"He's not a big guy but he's shifty and kind of ran hard," Mississippi State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz said. "They just did a better job blocking us than we did shedding blocks."
The 5-foot-9, 175-pound tailback accounted for 227 all-purpose yards (69 rushing, 142 in returns and 16 receiving) in State's 29-24 win over UAB Saturday night.
The Blazers offense rotated him among four running backs but also used his talents out of the wildcat formation by taking the football on a direct snap run attempt that converted one of UAB's 16 first downs in the first 30 minutes of play.
The unfortunate aspect of Saturday's contest is Shed may be most remembered for fumbling the final kickoff with his team down five points with less than 2 minutes left. State freshman Michael Carr, a four-star recruit from West Point High School, stripped Shed on the return and the ball was eventually recovered by Nickoe Whitley.
"It was good to come back to my hometown and play tonight," Shed said. "I think I played pretty good overall but I really wish we could have pulled out the win."
Coming into Saturday, Shed was fourth in Conference USA and 37th in the country in all-purpose yards by averaging 130.3 yards per game.
The 69 yards on the ground against State's defense was his second-highest total of the season finishing behind a 96-yard performance on eight carries against Troy on Sept 18.
Injuries continue to mount for MSU
Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen mentioned the lack of consistently displayed by his offense throughout the five-point victory Saturday night had much to do with missing key pieces with various nagging injuries.
Mississippi State entered the game with five starters from the 2010 season-opener (wide receiver Leon Berry, tailback Vick Ballard, center J.C. Brignone, guard Tobias Smith and tight end Marcus Green) on the sidelines with various nagging ailments.
Berry and Green are known to be gone after season-ending surgeries.
Ballard, Mississippi State's leading rusher coming into Saturday with 516 yards and 11 touchdowns, was held out after suffering an ankle injury late in the 10-7 win at Florida. Saturday's win over UAB represented the first game Ballard didn't participate since arriving on the Starkville campus from Gulf Coast Community College.
"Vick was a guy that practiced on Thursday, was running great straight ahead but we were questioning his lateral movement," Mullen said. "It was a judgement call. Before the game, they said that he could go. Instead of putting him at risk for missing more games as the season went on, we held him and hopefully that pays off."
The most interesting injury concern for Mississippi State was the playing status of senior center J.C. Brignone as he sat out the game in Gainesville with an injury that team officials are calling a left knee sprain.
Brignone didn't play a snap in the first half as Quentin Saulsberry once again moved over from guard but Brignone went to the coaching staff to request he get in the game at halftime.
"He said he was 100 precent," Mullen said.
In the second half, State had only one of its six possessions end without points and the Bulldogs run game produced 271 yards on the ground on 53 carries.
"He just settled us down," Mullen said. "Your starting center is the foundation of that offensive line. Everything goes through him."

ACS prides itself on delivering cutting-edge technology to the rural communities it services.
In the field of competitive telecommunications, few providers can boast a successful track record of more than a few years. Big River Telephone, however, has been providing industry leading services to its local community, and beyond, for over 20 years.
Now one of the largest providers serving the Missouri/Illinois/Kentucky region, and growing rapidly, Big River's CEO Jerry Howe attributes the company's success to its focus on its customers' business needs, together with the deep industry experience the company's management team has built up over the years.
Founded as a co-operative in 1954, Blackfoot Telephone is one of the largest telephone companies in the Mid-West with 23 exchanges serving over 17,000 lines across 6,500 square miles of southwestern Montana. Headquartered in Missoula, Blackfoot offers a full array of personal and business communications options that include local telephone service, high-speed Internet service, communications systems, long distance, and wireless digital PCS.
Bresnan Communications: CATV Pioneers
This Case Study was originally published in LastMILE in March 2008.
The trials and tribulations of our forefathers provide us the lessons from which we can learn to better live our lives. As the self-described first municipal fiber to-the-home (FTTH) network provider, Bristol, Va., is proud to provide its own lessons from the challenges the city endured to bring its citizens triple-play services.
Using Metaswitch technology, the incumbent UK telephone service provider, BT, has become one of the first major European operators to offer emulated PSTN services using Voice over IP technology. BT's broadband voice service, which is targeted at customers of the UK's cable operators as well as BT's own DSL subscribers, offers low-cost national and international calling over any broadband Internet connection. In addition, BT's Business Broadband Voice service brings the same Voice over IP technology to small businesses.
There is little question that one of the most successful small business bundles yet devised is the "Integrated T," a bundle including broadband access, typically anchored by a T1 circuit, and running IP voice over the same bandwidth in a dynamic fashion. This allows a small business customer to use one connection for both voice and data, while saving money vis a vis separate voice and data connections.
The value proposition is simple: all your voice and data using only a single dedicated facility, rather than two.
Organizations with 100 or fewer employees account for about 98 percent of U.S. and Canadian businesses, so successfully marketing new, IP-based communications services to these organizations is a strategic imperative for many service providers and can be an important source of new revenue growth.
This Case Study was written by Mary Shacklett, and was originally published in VoIP Magazine in August 2006.
New Mexico's largest telephone cooperative, ENMR Plateau, has over 11,000 Cooperative members serving 13,000 wireline accounts in 24 counties in New Mexico and western Texas. Founded in 1949, the company has expanded service to include long distance, Internet, operator services, wireless mobile communications and business services.
Huawei's selection of DC-PCE protocol software from Metaswitch was an expansion of the existing 10-year old relationship between the two companies. Over that time Huawei has turned to Metaswitch for a full suite of control plane technology, including IP routing, MPLS and GMPLS software. Metaswitch has extended its control plane solutions with DC-PCE, with full integration of the routing and GMPLS software. Huawei selected Metaswitch for its PCE solution due to the pre-integration and Huawei's familiarity with Metaswitch's high quality and exceptional support.
A nexus of the trans-Pacific underwater fiber-optic cable network, the island of Guam has one of the most advanced telecommunications infrastructure and systems in the Western Pacific region. As a result, this island of over 150,000 people has become a telecom hub for numerous international providers. Submarine cables link the island with Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, Hong Kong and Australia.
With over 5,000 quick service restaurant locations, featuring internationally recognized brands such as Cold Stone Creamery, Blimpie Subs and America's Taco Shop, Kahala is one of the fastest growing franchising companies in the world. Dedicated to helping franchisees achieve all their entrepreneurial goals, Kahala turned to re-invent telecom, a leading provider of enhanced hosted telephony services that is built on Metaswitch, to help deliver a unique small business communications package.
Service providers stand to gain significantly by migrating subscribers from legacy TDM switching equipment to a next-generation architecture. Key benefits include the ability to quickly and easily deliver a leading-edge, converged services offering over a streamlined and flexible network, dramatically reducing operating expenses and greatly simplifying operations.
EATEL, based in Gonzales, Louisiana, has grown over the years from its roots as a small, independent Telco founded nearly 80 years ago, to a modern communications company offering advanced services to business and residential customers. EATEL has made several acquisitions over the past several years, including Vision, another independent phone company, and Venyu, a cloud services company providing managed hosting, virtualization, and data protection solutions.
Mescalero Apache Telecom, Inc. (MATI) is a full-service telecommunications company serving the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation in New Mexico. The Tribal Corporation is 100% owned by the Tribe and, in addition to providing leading edge services to its own subscribers, is dedicated to helping other Tribes purchase and operate their own telecommunications infrastructure. In 2003, MATI was honored as the Tribal Enterprise of the Year for all Indian Country from NCAIED.
Denver-based Microtech-Tel operates as a competitive local exchange carrier. It is among the most advanced service providers in seeking to provide a full range of information technology solutions that include, but are not limited to, broadband access and business communications.

Like many rural telcos, Ohio-based New Knoxville Telephone Company has a solid core business, built up since the company was founded in 1905, deploying legacy POTS services in its traditional service area. Being privately held, mostly by local residents, this is a heritage that New Knoxville is careful to protect while always being on the lookout for good opportunities to invest and expand its business.
Northwest Communications, originally known as Amery Telephone Company, was founded in 1897 and now serves approximately 10,000 access lines and provides DSL, cable modem, and dial-up internet service to over 3,000 customers in Iowa. Northwest has made several major marketing advances since installing its Metaswitch platforms: it now can sell services with recurring revenue instead of one-time equipment sales, and has found that small business customers really appreciate the mobility features.
One Communications is the largest privately-held competitive local exchange carrier in the U.S. serving more than 160,000 businesses throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Upper Midwest regions with more than 2,200 employees and $800 million in annual revenue.
Orckit-Corrigent has been supplying networking infrastructure solutions for metro aggregation networks since 2000. In 2001 the company integrated DC-MPLS from Metaswitch which as kicked off a 10-year partnership resulting in a decade of innovation, growth and success.
Telephone Electronics Corporation (TEC) headquartered in Jackson, Miss., serves nearly 50,000 subscribers in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee. Founded in 1923, it employs over 250 people.
TEC recently "rebranded its independent subsidiaries and CLECs to unify the company's marketing," says Lisa Wigington, TEC director of LEC and video operations. "The rebranding is directly related to the introduction of MetaSwitch powered services and our fiber-build."
Valley TeleCom Group operates 13 exchanges in Arizona and New Mexico through its subsidiaries, Valley Telephone Cooperative and Copper Valley Telephone. In addition, its CLEC subsidiary, Valley Connections, is rapidly expanding.
In the fiercely demanding world of telecommunications, it is sometimes better to form partnerships in order to more effectively compete and serve customers' emerging communications needs than to attempt to do it alone. Such is the case in Montana, when a group of independent telephone companies joined forces to form Vision Net in 1995. Not only does Vision Net centralize technical and operations expertise and the wide area network on behalf of its owners, but it has been able to negotiate better terms from their suppliers by aggregating their collective needs.
Puerto Rico is one of the Caribbean's fastest growing communications services markets thanks to increasing need and demand for traditional and advanced telecommunications services. To address this trend, WorldNet Telecommunications decided to evolve its successful business model from a reseller to a facilities-based competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) and become the standard for leading communications services on the island.
ZIP Telecom's network currently has four Metaswitch Perimeta SBCs, and the company is in the process of installing four more. ZIP Telecom handles 8,000 concurrent calls on its network and terminates tens of millions of calls per day.
"The pent-up demand for this kind of technology is unbelievable," CEO Kevin Moniz says. "We've passed the early adopter stage for this kind of technology and are starting to move into mass consumption. The growth we're expecting in the next two to three years is to grow to at least 50,000 concurrent calls."

Boat of US activists sets sail for Gaza, but turned back by Greek Coast Guard
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
The U.S. boat in an aid flotilla bound for Gaza was turned back by Greek commandos today. The boat, the Audacity of Hope, set sail without permission today, but according to Tweets from journalists on board, was stopped in open waters by the Greek Coast Guard. The boatâs captain attempted to negotiate with the Coast Guard, who wanted the ship to return to port. But the captain was reluctant because at least two boats in the flotilla have been sabotaged in Greek port, presumably by Israeli agents. After more than an hour, Greek commandos arrived and pointed weapons at passengers in the US boat, which include author Alice Walker. The US boat turned back. Hereâs audio from another passenger, retired U.S. colonel Ann Wright who appealed with the Greek Coast Guard to let them sail to Gaza. It was from a live web stream provided by the flotilla organizers.
"We would never hurt anyone. We are peaceful non-violent people that just want to go to Gaza. We are a seaworthy vessell. It's a wonderful Greek ship with '...' so we could go all the way to Gaza. It's a Greek ship from Xenos. Are any of you from Xenos?"
The boat was forced to return to a military port in Athens; a participant described it as âa Greek port surrounded with bars and barbwire.â

What is my LP appy's base coat?
I'm realizing that there are a lot more to appy's then what meets the eye. I'm thinking his base coat is bay because he has brown spots on his body and black on his legs, but I don't know a lot of about color so I'd thought I'd ask the experts :wink:.
his color is gorgeous! i think bay, possible a dark buckskin? but that is probably unlikely.
Bay for sure :-) And beautiful :-)
Bay. I want to poke all of the spots!
I would also say bay. What a handsome fellow he is, one of my favorite appy patterns too!
Definitely bay. The legs can sometimes be deceiving as some chestnut Appys can have darker legs that are very dark brown and almost appear black. But there is no mistaking the remaining black hairs in the mane and tail - most bay Appys retain a few of those black mane and tail hairs. The hairs that turn white usually turn brown first and then white, but the ones that stay black are black for life...

Man on the moon, got a condo out in space
from A$AP Rocky – Goldie Lyrics on Genius
He's high all the time, so permanent that he has his own place on the moon.
Or this might just be to further the previous line — that he not only has a house in every state, that he might as well have one on the moon.
It must also mean that his condo is at a higher floor, which emphasizes his wealth (as in the reference to Bill Gates'), because higher floors mean more expensive rates.

There were many amazing points to Bone Thugs' performance at the Levi's/FADER Fort, from their old hits to their new jams. But between dedicating "Crossroads" to Michael Jackson and actually performing "Crossroads," this performance was the point where we got the most choked up. We're bone thuggin, but you can't contain the emotion on this stuff, and clearly, they sounded as awesome and as vital as when this song hit #1 for like two thousand weeks in '95. RIP EAZY E.

From Per Wahlöö—co-author with his wife, Maj Sjöwall, of the internationally bestselling Martin Beck series of mysteries—comes a suspense novel about a former German soldier wanted for questioning about a murder in Spain. Willi Mohr–former German soldier, starving artist, enigmatic drifter–is arrested by the police and subjected to a lengthy and perplexing interrogation. Unwillingly, he is drawn back to the previous year he spent in Spain, the mysterious death of a Norwegian couple he shared a house with and his tireless attempts to discover how they died. As the interrogation intensifies, Mohr realizes that his own secret activities have implicated him in a dangerous political situation. Exhausted, at the end of his money, worn down by the police, he takes decisive action that leads to a profound personal release.
"Per Wahlöö is the Godfather of Scandinavian crime fiction."—Jo Nesbø "A vigorous and powerful mind. . . . There is no doubt about the originality of Per Wahlöö's talent."—The Sunday Times
Born in 1926, Per Wahlöö was a Swedish writer and journalist who, alongside his own novels, collaborated with his wife, Maj Sjöwall, on the bestselling Martin Beck crime series which are credited as inspiring writers as varied as Agatha Christie,… More about Per Wahloo

Exploring Biblical and Scientific Reality
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32 KJV)
Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind. — Albert Einstein
This is not creation "science." This is not science vs. religion. The purpose of this site is to put science and religion together, working to achieve a greater truth. The beliefs upon which this site was built are,
An example of this comes from the topic of evolution. Science shows that evolution is a fact. Some biblical interpretation disagrees with this fact, but this only shows that the interpretation is in error. Ignoring the reality that science has documented so well, results in courting delusion. The solution can be found in discovering a new interpretation.
Not every aspect of evolutionary thought has been proven. For instance, the current consensus of human evolution from earlier forms of genus Homo remains a strongly supported, though not entirely proven theory. More data is needed.
Too many people on both sides of this discussion use the rather imperfect paradigm of "skepticism." Creationists are skeptical (doubtful) of scientific claims. Scientists are skeptical (doubtful) of religious claims. But skepticism has a darker side—unsupported dismissiveness and even self-indulgent ridicule, both of which are entirely subjective and rarely, if ever, helpful.
Any paradigm based on the bias of doubt is itself biased. A more perfect paradigm for any quest for answers includes restraint and humility. This may be a burden for those in either camp who have invested too much in their own egos. Truth doesn't care about belief or ego. It remains aloof to such emotional attitudes.
Here, we attempt to look at the facts from a broader perspective. We find it self-evident that form follows function or purpose. Though the exact nature of creation is unknown, we do know that creation takes place when conscious thought in spirit is let go (allowed), for only then will the dimension of time be added to the template formed in thought. This might be likened to God's day of rest. What is the relation of this to the Big Bang? We don't yet know. There remain many unanswered questions. And yet, science continues to answer some of them.
Using restraint and humility, new insights have been gained in Genesis which provide us a possible new interpretation—one compatible with reality. Discussing these discoveries is the purpose of the Genesis Code Forum. You're invited to add your civil thoughts on the subject.
Science continues to make great strides toward greater knowledge of reality. Can science be more greatly empowered if it allows the possibility of agencies that are not part of the mechanical, action-reaction reality that it studies? If such agencies exist (and we've found they they do), then science might be blinding itself to the completion of the facts it strives to obtain.
Only with restraint and humility can we ever find the answers we seek. Anything less is egotistical arrogance and laziness.

Joe Roberts from Earthtone 9 has issued a statement basically saying that after the forthcoming April headline tour, the band are to be no more.
Stating that: "the future of earthtone 9 has been hanging in the balance for a while" he admits that they were "not all pulling in a unified direction with where they believed the music should be heading, and that without a sense of common purpose it was inevitable this would lead to the end of the band."
He nevertheless adds that "the last six years have been full of good times, laughs, stress, excitement, boredom and fulfillment and I feel grateful to have played my part in a band that achieved much more success than I ever dared hope for."
For full details go to the official Earthtone 9 message board. Earthtone 9 play their final gig at the Garage, London on April 13th with Waterdown.

East Coast stickball alive in Little Italy
There are also some unexpected consequences that come with playing on a city street. A throw to first may be deflected by a low-hanging branch, or a ball may bounce off a third-story patio but land in fair territory.
"I just fell in love with the game," said Terrance Cochran as he sat panting in the shade after hitting a home run for the Whompers.
"It's a good, family atmosphere," he said about why he likes the league. "We all spend time together."
Louie and Joey Centanni also said the fun atmosphere, along with a good cardio workout, are among the attractions to the game.
The tournament continues Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Columbia Street between Ash and Cedar streets in Little Italy.

Iron.io will be in the Rust Belt this weekend for Compute Midwest 2012. It's a 3-day event in Kansas City, starting with a conference on Friday, Nov 9th and continuing with a hackathon on Sat through Sun.
It's hosted by the Kansas City IT Professionals (KCITP), a grassroots group of 9500+ led by Michael Gelphman. We're excited about meeting the developers in the area and connecting with some of the companies who are putting the midwest front and center on the cloud IT map.
|Iron.io @ Compute Midwest 2012
Some of the speakers include Dan Lavin, COO of Box, Ben Milne, CEO of Dwolla, Brad Abrams from the Google Platform team, Scott Chacon, CIO of GitHub, Jason Hoffman, CTO of Joyent, and Zach Kaplan, CEO of Inventables. Here's the description of the conference:
Get ready to be inspired at Compute Midwest 2012, happening at the Kauffman Center for Performing Arts. Learn about what's next in technology – straight from tech leaders, startup founders, and visionaries. Hear stories directly from innovators who are building companies that change our life, our work, and our business. Gain insight into their vision for the future, learn where technology is going, and discover how Kansas City can capitalize on Google Fiber.
Hackathon w/Google Fiber
The big draw at the hackathon, besides the prizes and API sponsors, will be the use of Google Fiber. This ultra-high speed connection promises to bring out some awesome big data and realtime applications – a number of which we're hoping will be using Iron.io to power either the large-scale or asynchronous processing that'll be taking place in the background. What better way to make use of Google Fiber than to do things in parallel and pass work to thousands of cores.
Hackathon Sponsors
The sponsors of the API prizes make up a good list. We've worked with many of them in the past and are really looking forward to helping power some great applications here. Go midwest!
We apologize in advance if we make one too many Iron and Rust Belt references while there.

Ariele Alasko: Brooklyn Wood
Since thinking about flooring has taken up 30% of my brain activity this past month, this will probably be my last post on anything wood/floor related for this year! Whilst after careful consideration we went for classic honey coloured Oak floorboards I know I will always wish we had been a bit more adventurous.
I have always loved the chevron patterning of classic wood parquet floors so these tables, headboards and chopping boards made of salvaged flooring by Brooklyn based wood-worker Ariele Alasko really sung to me. She creates magic with wood and her online store carries one of a kind headboards hand built from reclaimed wood salvaged from Brooklyn buildings and cheeseboards made from salvaged antique flooring. I think she also makes wall panels as art pieces – i would just love one propped up on a shelf with other art.

Gulu was thrilled when in 2009 the municipality was picked among 19 others, where a modern market worth Shs 26bn would be built.
The markets are funded under the African Development Bank's Markets and Agricultural Trade Improvement Programme (MATIP). Contract terms from the ministry of Local Government indicated that construction would commence in October 2010 and end in October 2013. However, the contractor now says they will not beat the deadline, having had to make some changes in the scope of work.
According to the contract manager, Uma Mahesh of Dott Services Ltd, the market will take an additional six months to complete.
"There was change in the scope of our work and at some point we halted for a month; so, we need some more time," Mahesh said.
Mahesh added that the company also needs more time to import electric materials for wiring the market. This glitch would not be the first to befall the project. Last January, construction was halted after the Local Government minister, Adolf Mwesige, ordered the arrest of Gulu Municipal town clerk, Augustine Bujara, after it emerged that Shs 10bn had gone missing.
It was further discovered that Dott Services had reduced the scope of work by 9.6 metres from the original 54 metres, citing a spike in the cost of construction materials. At the time, the market was also being built as a single- storey structure contrary to the approved architectural plan.
Gulu Mayor George Labeja also indicated that the market was being constructed for only 1,800 vendors, leaving out hundreds more, who were operating in the environs of the old one. This has since been corrected. The market can now accommodate 4,400 vendors, a development that is likely to delay the construction process further, Labeja said.
Santo Olana, a trader who deals in fabric material at Kaunda grounds, where some of the vendors were relocated to make way for the construction, says they can't wait to return to the market.
"I am desperate to go back to the main market because everything here is not business-friendly," Olana says. "I recently made losses of Shs 50,000 because termites made moulds on the fabrics I had bought..."
Yet Olana's business may not return to its old home any time soon although the project supervisor, Godfrey Obura of the ministry of Local Government, has told The Observer that the ministry has not approved a deadline extension.
"The deadline is still October 2013. Dott Services can still employ more workers to beat that deadline," Obura said.
But Mahesh, who admitted that his company made unspecified losses in putting up the northern part of the market, added that Dott Services employs workers in stages to ensure that one thing is done at a time to ensure good quality. On his part, Gulu RDC, James Nabinson Kidega, warned Dott Services against sub-standard work.
"There was corruption and the 9.6 metres which was reduced should be compensated and the contracted company should come out very clearly on this," he said.
Upon completion, the market will have a nursery for mothers working as traders, a modern restaurant, CCTV cameras and fire-fighting services.

A dozen public safety agencies purchased Spillman Technologies' software for the first time in the second quarter of 2010, bringing the total number of Spillman customers to more than 800 public safety agencies in 36 states nationwide. Fifty-four agencies expanded existing Spillman systems.
In Ohio, the Miami County Communication Center will use Spillman's Pin Mapping module to identify crime trends and establish methods for reducing criminal activity. The software enables the agency to plot data on an electronic map, allowing personnel to quickly spot high crime areas and analyze the spatial relationship between suspects and incidents.
Personnel at the Sublette County Sheriff's Office in Wyoming adopted Spillman's State Link and Mobile State Link software, giving the agency the ability to query state, national, and other external databases for information. The software allows deputies to access data from agency headquarters or their vehicle's laptop computer.
Spillman's Driver License Scanning module will allow the Davis County Sheriff's Office in Utah to scan a driver license and use that information to conduct local, state, and national database searches. The software saves deputies time by allowing them to instantly populate specific report fields with scanned information from a driver license.
Spillman Technologies is a public safety software provider headquartered in Salt Lake City, serving more than 800 police departments, sheriff's offices, communications centers, fire departments, and correctional facilities nationwide.

From the outside looking in, it's easy to see the early-season success of the Starkville Academy Volunteers.
There's the perfect 3-0 record. There's the 31 points per game being averaged by the SA offense while the Volunteers defense is allowing, on average, just over three points per game.
While all of those numbers are indeed impressive, there's been another component to SA's winning ways that head coach Jeff Terrill hopes to see continue in tonight's 7 p.m. matchup in Madden against Leake Academy.
"Each week, we seem to have someone different step up," said Terrill. "We've played well at times defensively. We've been real pleased overall with our offensive line play. Ryan Mann has set the tone for us at fullback. The emergence of Colby Runnels has really, really helped us. Hunter Bolin and James Mapp have both stepped up. There's just been several players.
"We've still got a lot of growing to do, but we seem to all be getting better each week and we hope that trend continues."
It will be no easy task for the Volunteers to add to their early-season victory total against the homestanding Rebels, who enter tonight's matchup with a record of 2-1.
Leake features a high-powered offensive attack that, over the course of its last 17 games dating back to last year, has eclipsed the 30-point mark in all but five contests.
"(Leake) is a program that has really been successful, especially the last two or three years," said Terrill. "Coach (Brian Pickens) really does a great job up there and they are just a bunch of old country boys that play hard. They've got some great, skilled athletes and they play the game with passion."
The Rebels displayed their toughness just seven days ago in a win over Kirk Academy. With the game tied at 28-all late in the fourth quarter, Leake scored a pair of late touchdowns to escape with a 42-28 win.
The triumph was keyed by four touchdown runs on the legs of quarterback Wesley Webb, an individual that Terrill says his SA defense must contain tonight.
"(Webb) really runs it well and he can throw it too," said Terrill. "There's another great challenge for us at that position. He has great pocket presence. He delivers the ball well and seems to know where to go with it.
"Basically, our focus is just on finding a way to slow him down and to stop them. We have played some good defense, but we've been fortunate. We've had some things bounce our way that's allowed us to be in this position."
Starkville Academy's ability to hold down Webb could be the difference between getting to 4-0 or suffering the season's first loss.
If recent history has provided any indication, the Vols have plenty of individuals waiting to make a name for themselves by hindering the play of Webb.
Should that happen, the Vols' good fortune could very well roll on for at least one more week.
"We hope great effort causes a lot of good luck and we think, so far, we've done that for the most part," said Terrill.

Damon Campbell Interviews The Young Rapscallions
When their "Over the Hills" tour made a stop at the Montrose Room in Chicago, I sat down for an exclusive backstage interview with The Young Rapscallions, an LA-based garage rock band comprised of Chris Mintz-Plasse (drums), Jonathan Sanders (vocals), Nick Chamian (guitar), and Taylor Messersmith (bass).
"Music is your life," joked Chris—known best for his work in the comedies Superbad and Role Models—as I questioned he and his bandmates about their old White Stripes cover band The Rude Mackenzies ("Wow, I totally forgot about that."), John attending middle school with Joey from Midnight Red ("Dude, how you know that is amazing…and beautiful."), and a time when Chris' dog gave him a concussion ("This is like starting to get borderline creepy [Laughs], it's amazing!").

They feel bad, so they found you these other deals to make up for it.
Select Local Merchants
City of Massillon Parks & Recreation DepartmentRead MoreThe City of Massillon Parks & Recreation Department takes great pride in ensuring that the Western Stark County community has safe and enjoyable leisure spaces and programs that improve the lives of all their residents. Their programs range from preschool age to seniors, and include indoor recreation spaces such as a 69,000-square-foot rec center, fitness area, and aquatics center. Outdoors, the department maintains 30 parks and open spaces, highlighted by the award-winning, 27-hole golf course, The Legends of Massillon.505 Erie St NMassillon, OH US
The RangesRead MoreThe soft pop of clubs connecting with golf balls drifts across The Range at Green & Harvard. Three acres of grass tees and 30 artificial-turf tees provide ample room for mobs to hone their swings after a long day chasing unnatural creations of science, and bunkers and practice greens enable focused work on the short game. The outfit replaces the entire fleet of range balls each year, so golfers rarely tee up a misshapen sphere. Lights shine from above to allow nighttime repetitions, and at a pro shop, steely bouquets of clubs from Callaway and Top Flite stand in corners, overseen by trainers and staff members.4201 Green RoadCleveland, OH US
Tanglewood Golf CourseRead MoreThe 18 holes at Tanglewood Golf Course careen through a natural terrain characterized by rolling hills and densely wooded acreage. Before a single fairway was mown, a single hole was cut, or a single gopher was moved in from the local zoo, the course was the vision of the Clingan family, who saw the land's potential in 1963. Today, more than half a century later, players continue to challenge themselves on the 6,070-yard layout. Course highlights include a birdie-prone par 5 ninth hole, just 425 yards, and a 330-yard par 4 13th hole, which might be reachable in one shot for long hitters and golfers who play uplifting music for their golf balls when they're not playing.318 Tanglewood Rd.Pulaski, PA US
Supreme GolfRead MoreSupreme Golf makes maintaining an oft-pricey golf addiction a bit easier on the wallet by granting golfers discounts at golf courses and golf schools, as well as cutting the price of books, golf clubs, and nutritional supplements. Golfers can enjoy relaxing, discounted rounds at area courses in cities across the country including such area courses as Bear Creek Golf Club in Dallas, Gateway National Golf Links in St. Louis and St. Andrews Golf and Country Club in Atlanta, soaking in the sights and badgering local pros for analysis of the annual caddie draft.110 W Oakwood WayNew Castle, PA US
Stop N SockRead MoreStop N Sock's owners have transformed their corner of New Brighton into a family-friendly labyrinth of golf-inspired games. Their expansive outdoor facility—with 43 acres of rolling greens—allows adults and kids to putt and ricochet balls around the 18-hole golf course lined with trees, shrubs, and spouting fountains, or toss tiny saucers into metal baskets at disc golf. With short links and wide fairways, their pitch-and-putt course lets kids develop interest in golf, and challenges experienced club swingers to hone their short game. Stop N Sock's driving range, however, gives everyone the opportunity to work on their long game, with 27 stations equipped with grass practice areas and automatic ball dispensers. To mix it up, the golf-centric center's batting cages lets individuals solidify their stance, perfect their focus, and keep the rust and barnacles off their swing.100 Wises Grove RdNew Brighton, PA US
Mudbrook Golf Center - Leisure OffersRead MoreMudbrook Golf Center gives golfers the tools and instruction they need to shave strokes and thoroughly enjoy the game. The shop's selection of gear by top industry brands such as TaylorMade, Nike, and Titleist complements instruction from PGA professionals. Within lessons, the pros rely on time-earned golfing wisdom augmented by digital diagnostics, which help students clearly see swing imbalances such as flat backswings, over-rotation, or excessive celebrations.1609 Old Mudbrook RoadHuron, OH US

The Heirs
Os Herdeiros | Carlos Diegues, 1970
Brazil | Portuguese with English Subtitles | Format: HDCam | 103 minutes
Diegues introduction and Q&A at April 14 screening!
At the end of the turbulent and fecund 1960s, Diegues made this saga of a Brazilian family, tracking them from 1930 to 1964, the year of the military coup d'état. Jorge Ramos (Sérgio Cardoso) is an ambitious journalist who marries the daughter of a failed coffee grower—not out of love, but purely for money. With democracy's rise in 1946, Jorge returns to the city, betraying colleagues en route to becoming a powerful politician. His son turns the tables on his father, becoming an ally with the military.

Up north along the border between Minnesota and Ontario, spring comes later than you may think. If you don't live here, by our spring you've had your skis stored away in the garage rafters for a couple weeks; you may have the bike or canoe out by the time the best skiing season dawns up north. By the spring equinox, the skate skiing on Boundary Waters lakes is at its absolute best. It's the magic season.
Skate skiers in Ely, Minnesota, wait all winter like spring peepers for the long days of March and April. When the deep snows of winter settle, a granular crust stretches all the way to Quetico Park in Canada. After an early start, we head for landings at lakes known best to paddlers: Snowbank, Moose, Lake One and Burntside. With a light pack, sunglasses and sun screen, we carefully walk down icy paths to the lake while robins sing in the jack pines above. We test the snow, strap on the skis and give a push with the poles; we're off and flying.
The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness attracts over 100,000 visitors each year. Almost all come in summer to paddle and camp in the one-million-acre wilderness. In winter, the lakes freeze deep. Winter campers and dog sleds lay sparse tracks across this motor-free land. A few hardy souls ski and snowshoe up to the Canadian border to fish for lake trout, but for recreational skiers the season starts and ends under the Laurentian spring sun. In a good year, there can be six weeks of great lake skiing. In a late spring with a fast melt, the magic season may only last a few days.
Lake snow in spring can vary from bare ice to velvety thin powder. Ideally, it's just soft enough for a good bite and hard enough for fast gliding. South facing shore lines soften early in the morning. The snows there are thin and fast, but soon turn too mushy on warm days. Protected from the ravages of spring sun, north facing bays can be smooth even until noon on a warm day. There's not enough Os in smooth to describe the feeling. Your skis carve elegant diagonals, leaving ephemeral evidence of your passing. To discover such a bay with pure virgin snow is the best reward of all.
Out on the lake's wind blown middle, early morning can be dicey at best. There, icy patches offer risk and reward. With a light breeze at your back, you can double pole at outrageous speed. With a fall out there, you'd be better off wearing motorcycle leathers than spandex tights. The sun-eaten surface resembles a billion knife blades all aimed at the first elbow or hip to touch down.
By late morning on a warm spring day, the deeper snow near shore will bog you down to a labored crawl while the bare off shore granular ice skis fast, like ball bearings. By late afternoon, the ice covers with pools of water, but it's remarkably fun skate skiing. Although your boots will be soaked and a fall will turn you into a human sponge, you'll never travel faster self-propelled on water.
The streams of the Boundary Waters can be even more glorious than the lakes on the right days. Sinuous rivers like the Little Indian Sioux and Stewart meander for miles through open sedge meadow and bogs on their way to Hudson Bay. When the river ice is still white and the snow pack compressed, the river skis like a race course. Going out of bounds means flying over deep crusted snow on the bog mat. Dwarf pine, spruce and tamarack set the slalom course to the next bend of the river. If you choose a river course, arrive early in the morning, for bog crust breaks down early. As the sun decays the surface, you'll find yourself breaking through into two-foot deep powder. On the river ice, the snow is thinner, but the route longer.
Dangerous, you say? Well, not with a little common sense and a healthy cautious attitude. Black ice everywhere is dangerous. In mid-stream as spring progresses, the ice will slowly decay and turn black well before lake ice. Avoid beaver dams in spring and beaver food caches where branches protrude from the ice near a lodge. Know where streams enter a lake and exit; skate wide around those areas. Shallow lake areas open up first in spring: look for obvious rock protrusions or black ice. Ski only on white ice over deep water. Stay safe by testing the ice; pound your poles especially on rivers and do it frequently. Near shore when water levels go down over winter, ice on rivers can be suspended. Bring a throw rope and safety ice picks just in case. Above all, always ski with a partner.
For the best chances for great conditions, come north between mid-March and mid-April. Since conditions change daily, you may want to call ahead. Early in spring, the rivers may be the best skiing, but be very cautious or hire a guide. Lake chains—like the Lake One, Two, Three chain—with current between lakes are similar to rivers. Big lakes like Snowbank and Burntside keep their ice longest into spring. Stay near shore if you don't know the lake well. The Moose Lake chain to Prairie Portage and the Canadian border is a favorite spring route, and Basswood Lake offers miles of track beyond Prairie Portage.
No matter where you ski, nature is always a part of the experience. When spring skiing in the Quetico-Superior country, you may never notice the time. Your mind is occupied by what you are seeing, discovering a new world around each point and in each hidden bay. Follow the tracks of wolves made late yesterday in soft snow to a beaver lodge where they sniffed around, gave up the scent of prey and moved on. Bald eagles start home repair work early and may even lay eggs before spring skiing ends. Otters sit on the ice edge where the current keeps water open. Common mergansers and goldeneye flaunt their mating displays with pomp and passion undeterred by a strange mammal on skinny boards. Ski carefully close to the mouth of a shallow stream and your reward may be a mating swarm of long toothy northern pike. Munch your lunch on a bare sunny shore with the ever present gray jays stealing a piece of your sandwich right out of your hand.
Although several restaurants remain open year round in Ely—the nearest town—it is not busy in early spring. After a long day of skating the lake's crust, try the Ely Steam Bath just south of the main street on First Avenue for real immersion in local color.
Few people ever experience the Boundary Waters on the cusp of spring the way skate skiers do. Don't put the skis away so quickly this year, and you may have the best ski of your life way up north in the Boundary Waters Wilderness.

Political Fact-Checking Under Fire
By editor
Sites like PolitiFact and Factcheck.org are designed to verify political claims and hold politicians accountable. But critics say fact-checking entities are themselves biased. The Weekly Standard's Mark Hemingway and Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post discuss fact-checking in American politics.

In March 2012, in Resolution 19/10, the Human Rights Council created a new three-year mandate on the issue of human rights obligations relating to the enjoyment of a safe, clean, healthy and suitable environment. The Council decided to appoint an Independent Expert, whose tasks will be:
(a) To study, in consultation with Governments, relevant international organizations and intergovernmental bodies, including the United Nations Environment Programme and relevant multilateral environment agreements, human rights mechanisms, local authorities, national human rights institutions, civil society organizations, including those representing indigenous peoples and other persons in vulnerable situations, the private sector and academic institutions,the human rights obligations, including non-discrimination obligations, relatingto the enjoyment of a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment;
(b) To identify, promote and exchange views on best practices relatingto the use of human rights obligations and commitments to inform, support and strengthen environmental policymaking, especially in the area of environmental protection, and, in that regard, to prepare a compendium of best practices;
(c) To make recommendations, consistent with heror his mandate, that could help the realization of the Millennium Development Goals, in particular Goal 7;
(d) To take into account the results of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development to be held in June 2012, and to contribute a human rights perspective to follow-up processes;
(e) To apply a gender perspective by, inter alia,considering the particular situation of women and girls and identifyinggender-specific discrimination and vulnerabilities;
(f) To work in close coordination, while avoiding unnecessary duplication, with other special procedures and subsidiary organs of the Human Rights Council, relevant United Nations bodies and the treaty bodies, taking into account the views of other stakeholders, including relevant regional human rights mechanisms, national human rights institutions, civil society organizations and academic institutions;
(g) To submit a first report, including conclusions and recommendations, to the Human Rights Council at its twenty-second session and annually thereafter.
In July 2012, the President of the Human Rights Council appointed Professor John H. Knox, of Wake Forest University School of Law, to be the first Independent Expert, beginning in August 2012.

August 14, 2006
Google Desktop allows people to search the Web while also searching the full text of all the information on their computer, including Gmail and their Web search history. Because the index is stored locally on the computer, users can access Gmail and Web history while offline.
Google Desktop for Linux was written natively and uses Google's own desktop search algorithms, not existing Linux search applications such as Beagle, a company representative said. Only computers with x86 processors can use the software. It supports the Debian 4.0, Fedora Core 6, Ubuntu 6.10, Novell Suse 10.1 and Red Hat 5 versions of Linux, and uses either the KDE and GNOME graphical user interfaces.
Although Google has released other projects as open-source software, where it can be freely modified and redistributed by anyone, Google Desktop for Linux is proprietary. The software was developed by Google's Beijing engineering team and is available in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese.
Google also offers Linux versions of its Picasa photo-editing software, as well as Google Earth and Google Toolbar for Firefox.

If you have an AMD 64-bit processor, you must run a 32-bit x86 compatible browser in order to view Flash or Java content. And it works great!

I splash the paint on the wall, formed a mural
He took a look, saw the manifestation of it was plural
from Wu-Tang Clan – Reunited Lyrics on Genius
By saying "I splash paint on the wall", he is bringing it back to the projects where this line could mean two things:
1: Everything GZA makes is effortless — even when he casually "splashes" paint, it forms a coherent aesthetic masterpiece.
2: GZA shot people (thus painting the walls behind them red) and left people with a vivid picture of it in their mind.
3: The manifestation is plural because GZA's intricate lyrics always carry a double meaning

Beyonce's new hair do: Bangs - Love or hate?
Beyonce debuted a new hair style on a night out with husband Jay-Z at the Brooklyn Nets game.
The new mom and upcoming Super Bowl halftime performer is rocking heavy, tapered bangs with a lot of blonde up front. This is going to be one of those polarizing hair styles that her fans either love or hate.
Jay-Z, who's part owner of the Nets, is probably too happy about his team winning their season opener against the Toronto Raptors to have an opinion on the new bags.
So let's hear what you think.
