Why the Cleveland Browns Need to Stay The Course Regardless of Investigation
With the 2015 NFL Draft quickly approaching, the distractions and noise surrounding...
By Bob Evans
Senior Writer
Cleveland Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski let the worst kept secret in the NFL out of the bag on Tuesday, as the coaching staff named 2012 first-round draft pick, Brandon Weeden, the team's starter for the 2013 season. After starting 15 of the Browns' 16 games in his rookie season, Weeden—barring any injuries—will join Tim Couch, Kelly Holcomb and Charlie Frye as the only Cleveland quarterbacks to start back to back seasons since the franchise returned in 1999.
Yes you read that correctly, of the 18 different starting quarterbacks the Browns have had since returning to the shores of Lake Erie, just three have previously started consecutive seasons at quarterback for the Browns. On top of that, Frye should barely even count, considering he started only the first game of 2007 before struggling and being traded to Seattle less than two weeks later. Of those three, only Couch was able to complete an entire season as the Browns' starting quarterback–something Weeden will attempt to be the second to do since 1999 this year.
At the ripe old age of 29, Weeden will officially join that trio at home against the Miami Dolphins to open the season. After throwing for 3,385 yards, 14 touchdowns and 17 interceptions as a rookie, Weeden was thrust into a "competition" with free agent Jason Campbell by his new head coach and new offensive coordinator, Norv Turner. However, Weeden's big-time arm and comfort in the team's new offense ultimately won out—not that it was any surprise to Browns fans.
When addressing the media following his decision to name Weeden the starter, Chudzinski stated, "Brandon has earned this job and that's extremely important to me that he did. He's gained my complete trust. He's gained his teammates' complete trust and this organization's trust. We are all behind him and we will all be there to support him."
With Weeden as the team's unquestioned starter heading into Week 3 of the preseason, any distraction that may have been there from a potential quarterback competition has been lifted. Not that it was impacting Weeden negatively, as he completed 10-of-13 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown against St. Louis and 8-of-12 passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns against Detroit. But naming him the team's starting quarterback can allow the other players around him to settle in and not have to worry about potentially losing their leader in two weeks.
Starting running back Trent Richardson was the first to echo this fact by stating, "I think Brandon's going to bring this team to a whole other level this year…I just knew this offense was going to suit him real good. It's not just the shotgun. I know he's just comfortable with the playcalling, with the coaches, with the guys that are around him. He's got more trust in us. We've got more trust in him."
Now that Weeden has the players and Browns organization 100 percent behind him, hopefully fans and the media can put the 2014 quarterback draft talk to rest for a little bit. Weeden has done everything asked of him when making the transition to the vertical passing attack of Chudzinski and Turner, and even matured as a leader according to his coaches and teammates. On top of that, anyone watching him can tell the second-year quarterback is more poised and comfortable in the pocket than one season ago.
Hungry for a winner, we all tend to forget that there is a learning curve for players—especially quarterbacks—when they come to the NFL. Weeden was thrust into the wrong system with a coaching staff and head coach that simply did not work with him, and at times looked as if they did not want or believe in him. However, many levied the toughest judgment—at times calling for the Browns to rid themselves of him based on his age and performance last season.
The fact of the matter is despite his age, Weeden was still a rookie quarterback in the NFL. While his touchdown to interception ratio (14:17) was not the greatest, he was still a rookie learning the ropes. And if the preseason is any indicator of what the 2013 season will hold, those numbers will be much improved this season.
With an improved team across the board and coaching staff that is miles ahead of the one that was in place last season, the Browns offense should be much better than they were last season. Add in a confident starting quarterback with the support of his organization for the first time in his career, and 2013 could end up being very special for both Weeden and the Browns.

Replying to: Transfer of ownership - NEW CONTRACT??? by pranu
Re: Transfer of ownership - NEW CONTRACT???
Ha! I was thinking about switching my service from my mother's name to mine, but not with a new contract. If I am signing a new contract it is going to be with Verizon or Cingular. I would have dealt with the sudden drop in coverage in my home that has left my phone unusable if I didn't have to sign a new contract. Of course customer service had no explination but did give me 50 bonus minutes because of my loss of a signal. I am the only one who thinks that is ironic? I was also going to get an upgraded phone that would pull a better signal until they wanted to sell it to me from more than a new customer would get.

Brian Kelly
Q. I wondered if you could fill us in on Everett's status kind of the day after he got his bell rung.
BRIAN KELLY: Yeah, he had a concussion, so he's going through the steps, the protocol that we have. He was still a bit symptomatic today, so he'll go through his cognitive testing tomorrow, and we expect that if all things move in this direction that he should be cleared by Tuesday.
Q. If he's not cleared by Tuesday, I would assume Tommy moves to the top of the line, and that's kind of your plan there?
BRIAN KELLY: Yeah, certainly if he's not able to go or is not cleared, then Tommy and Andrew Hendrix would be our quarterback situation. But talking to Dr.Moriarty, who's one of the lead guys in concussions, he felt pretty confident that he'd be cleared by Tuesday.
Q. I wondered if you could talk about Cierre, what you're seeing from him, but also, you've got three guys that are really giving you a lot of different skill sets in that running back picture. Can you talk about that a little bit?
BRIAN KELLY: Certainly. We value all of those backs and what they can do to help in the running game, and certainly as you know, Theo had a very, very good game catching the ball for us, made two great catches that helped us win the football game.
It's not only running the ball, it's the ability to catch the ball coming out of the backfield, as well, and that's been the change this year from last year in terms of the complete running back.
And Cierre is getting better at that each and every week. Again, I think all three of those guys are continuing to work on being the complete back.
Q. You're playing a team this coming week that has the LDS church and so forth affiliated with them. You have a handful of those guys on your team. Can you just talk a little bit about how the local LDS community has kind of made them feel welcome at Notre Dame?
BRIAN KELLY: Oh, I can agree with that wholeheartedly in terms of just how they have taken in our players in Manti and Kona in particular and Chris Badger. All of them have felt very comfortable in the community. I don't know what the dynamic is, but it just seems that there's a reaching out that has taken place in their time here, and it's made it, I think, a great transition for those kids.
Q. And again, Prince Shembo just seems to get a lot of pressure this year, moving back from drop to cap. Just talk about where he is right now.
BRIAN KELLY: Yeah, he's a relentless player. He's got obviously an ability to get to the edge and really force some pressures. And I think if you really look at last week where it wasn't his kind of game in the sense that they were‑‑ he was in a position where he couldn't get the same kind of pressure that he was able to get this week. I know he was very frustrated, and you could tell just in his demeanor in practice that you could tell he was going to make sure his presence was felt. That's just the kind of kid he is. He's a high motor and can play all day.
Q. Just in terms of Everett's preparation, should he be able to play this weekend and get going on Tuesday, I guess what does the concussion get in the way of over the next 36, 48 hours? Not much, a little? What goes on?
BRIAN KELLY: It's generally‑‑ we really can't do anything with him physically until all of his symptoms have been cleared, and then there's the cognitive testing that has to take place. So our general protocol is we expect him tomorrow to be able to pass his cog test. If he does that, then we begin light exercise. If there's no recurrence of any headaches then we clear him.
Again, if he doesn't get cleared on Tuesday, then we repeat the process and we continue with it. So the only thing that would be at risk here would be if he's not cleared for Tuesday then he loses a lot of rep work on Tuesday. It doesn't mean, though, that he couldn't still be a starter for us if he practices Wednesday and Thursday.
Q. Is he really missing anything, I guess, this afternoon and Monday?
BRIAN KELLY: Oh, no. Yeah, I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question. No, there's nothing today. They checked in, he checked in with the doctors. He's done for the day. And then of course the good thing is they don't have classes this week, so he'll have nothing of an assignment other than at 3:00 we'll have a team meeting.
Q. The BCS rankings officially come out tonight. Everybody seems to think you guys are going to be in the top five. Does that resonate at all at this point just being in that position? And I know there's a whole week‑to‑week long way to go thing, but when you're a top five BCS team at this position, how does that resonate do you think?
BRIAN KELLY: You know, I really don't know in the sense that I haven't gauged‑‑ I don't normally gauge the interest of these things with our football team, so I would never ask the questions.
They watch TV. I mean, they see that. There's a sense of pride. There's no question that when you're talked about and you're putting Notre Dame up there in the top five, there's a sense of pride.
I just have to make sure that they understand that with that pride comes a greater obligation to do the thing the right way. I think that's how we'll handle it.
Q. And I guess specifically when you talk BCS with these guys before the season, we've asked you about this before, is it on a list literally somewhere? How do you address that as a goal and in what context do you address that as a goal before you guys start?
BRIAN KELLY: We talk more in terms of being a championship program and let the rest take care of itself. So it's not written down. It's not something that we specifically talk about.
We don't have a tie‑in obviously from a conference standpoint. So if we're talking about postseason, the only thing that we talk about is really the Bowl Championship Series.
Championship football for us at Notre Dame, I think you can make the conclusion that it equals BCS.
Q. I want to clarify one thing you said. You said if Everett can't go that it'll be Rees and Hendrix. Does that mean Hendrix is No.2 or he could play also in the game if Everett is not ready?
BRIAN KELLY: Oh, yeah, we keep Andrew ready to go. He could have played this weekend if we needed him in certain situations. Both of them could play. I wouldn't rule it out. But as I said earlier, we're probably putting too much on this. We're really confident that we think Everett is going to be cleared.
Q. On TV they mentioned that they thought he had a turf toe, too. Does he, and is that a problem?
BRIAN KELLY: Yeah, he had a little bit of turf toe, fought through it during the week. Didn't affect him at all in the game.
Q. On the fumble on the field‑‑ I'm sorry, Everett‑to‑Theo handoff, what happened there? They gave the fumble to Everett, but who do you think made the mistake?
BRIAN KELLY: Well, there were three people involved in that: The center, the quarterback and the running back. The snap was off and high to his right; the back was not in his proper alignment; and the quarterback, if ever he feels that a handoff is in jeopardy, he's supposed to tuck it. So there wasn't one singular player. There were three people that were not at their best on that play.
Q. I believe you mentioned that one of the reasons why Tommy‑‑ or that you look at Purdue‑FSU is the turnovers from last year. I believe Everett is responsible for all the turnovers this year. How concerned are you about his turning the ball over? And he's put the ball on the ground a couple times besides that.
BRIAN KELLY: Very concerned. It's something that obviously we cannot continue to have. He's got to take better care of the football, and he's got to do it in practice, and he's got to be smarter. I think if you look at the first turnover, we're talking about mishandling a direct snap, something that we do every day, totally unacceptable.
The other turnover was holding onto the ball. It was the sack fumble against the three‑man rush. Again, maybe we could have put him in better situation there.
And then the third one, it's easy for him to just step out of bounds and avoid contact. So all of them are coachable, all of them are correctable, and we'll continue to work on it with him so we can eliminate these mistakes.
Q. On Everett's turf toe, was that a practice injury? Did he pick that up against Miami?
BRIAN KELLY: He picked it up in the second quarter against Miami.
Q. And just on the defensive line you rotated really liberally this year until yesterday, and I was just kind of curious about your thinking going into that playing Stephon, Louis and Kapron so much and then also what those three guys showed you playing so much and being as stout as they were, considering how many snaps they lost?
BRIAN KELLY: Well, Sheldon Day played quite a bit. I don't know exact number of snaps, so you've got to include Sheldon. Kona was in there not as much, but obviously in the kind of game that we were in where it was such a physical contest, we obviously felt at that time that those guys were needed to be in the game.
But we still had Sheldon in quite a bit. I know Kappy rotated out quite a bit. And again, Kona didn't play as much, but certainly was able to give Louis a blow when he needed it.
Q. I guess maybe that question should have been more about Stephon and the game that he played both in terms of the block and then just kind of how disruptive he was against a very physical smashmouth team in a game that he wasn't able to experience last year.
BRIAN KELLY: Exactly. I think if you focus on Stephon particularly, obviously the bigger the stage, the great players step up. And he played as hard as we've seen him play all year, just physically banging in there, putting pressure, never taking a play off on obviously a field goal situation. It says a lot about his growth as a football player.
I think that game is a growth game from him on how you play this game every snap.
Q. And I was just curious, a couple match‑ups Troy was kind of asked to block one‑on‑one against some of Stanford's outside linebackers. Was that Stanford getting you guys in a good look or was that how you wanted to schematically handle that?
BRIAN KELLY: Well, we were‑‑ any time that Troy was asked to block, the ball was supposed to come out a little bit more effectively. I think we lost sight of the fact that on a couple of occasions we could have helped with our tackle, so it's not exactly the way we had it drawn up that we would leave him singular against one of their best pass rushers, and it ended up working that way for them on two occasions, and obviously one of them was the sack fumble, which was a huge play.
Yeah, I think if you go back and look at it, we wouldn't have changed what we had in mind. We probably would have paid a little bit more attention in three‑man rush that we'd get some more help for him.
Q. A guy I think you have a lot of faith in, Mike Golic, seems to have really been playing much better until yesterday when it seems like mentally he took a step back with a few false starts. How do you approach kind of improvement in practice for a fifth‑year guy as opposed to maybe a younger player?
BRIAN KELLY: Well, I don't know that Mike Golic had a lot to do with those false starts. You know, there's a lot of other things going on out there that I'm not going to get into right now.
Mike has made progress. Mike is‑‑ he played against a very, very good defense, and they won some, Mike won some. The thing with Mike, he's such a dedicated player. I mean, he comes to practice every day; he's purposeful. He's not going to be First Team All‑American at that position, but here at Notre Dame, he doesn't need to be; he needs to just be Mike Golic. And we're proud of the steps that he's made to help our offense.
Q. And another guy, it seems that Ishaq has received some more playing time in multiple packages. Can you talk about how he's developed here the last couple weeks?
BRIAN KELLY: Yeah, you know, he's long, and in the pass game he covers some ground floors. Believe it or not, his length really does help us in pass coverage. He also has the ability to rush the quarterback. Here's a guy that gives us some really flexible opportunities defensively to either rush them or drop them. That's why you're seeing him in those packages a little bit more, because of his versatility.
Q. Is that just kind of key where you don't even really need a nickel because he can kind of play a little bit of that coverage role?
BRIAN KELLY: Well, you know, I wouldn't say we don't need the nickel as much as what we're able to do is disguise some of the things, so we do play with a nickel, too, on the field. He just gives us an opportunity to sloop him into coverage when it looks like he's rushing, and it takes a pretty good player to be able to do that.

California Girl
This photograph was taken in 1942, and shows a young woman with a suitcase standing on the street in Hollywood California. I don't have any other information on the picture. I wonder though if it might be a girl from Kansas who took a bus to California in hopes of becoming a movie star. Just my imagination at work probably.

I think the photograph was set up to make you think exactly that. To me, at any rate, everything looks in such apple-pie order - uncrumpled clothes and shiny new suitcase - that I can't see how the photo wasn't staged.ReplyDelete
On reflection, I suppose it's also possible that she's heading out of LA.
If that now 87-year-old woman is reading this blog,I would request that she contact the owner to settle this dispute. What exactly were you up to that day?
- AnonymousJune 16, 2008 at 6:44 PM
I agree with anonymous above. It must be a staged photo. You can even see "the bus" in the reflection of the store window.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 2, 2011 at 1:49 PM
I can tell you that the bus reflected in the window glass was a 1934 Yellow Coach Model 718 operating for the Los Angeles Motor Coach Company.ReplyDelete

Otaku with a fondness for waiting in the summer will likely be bewitched by this Ano Natsu laptop PC – unfortunately for those individuals however, this laptop comes at a price which isn't as friendly as summer skies.
The scheme here is no different than with the "Another" laptop – as well as the several eroge themed few before it.
Essentially, the deal is that one can receive a netbook with an image plastered on the back, some desktop wallpapers pre-included, and several sound packs, for the price of a high-end laptop. Basically, what one could achieve for around $36 USD, the money going to printing an adhesive artwork for your laptop's lid, and the digital goodies being free, is being applied to the cheapest of personal computers, and the profit margin is being multiplied tenfold – if not eleven. This is almost like an organized crime syndicate rather than a business.
However, it gets worse – there's two more tiers of option available, both of which are actual laptops, and both exceeding a thousand USD. A mid-range, Core i3 laptop with the super spectacular Ano Natsu upgrade applied is being pushed at the ridiculous price of approximately $1754 – whereas a more robust model which one could amazingly score for a mere $1000 or so is peddled for 164,800 yen, or nearly $2070 USD.
According to this petty illogical pricing, an adhesive sticker and some desktop backgrounds are worth $1000 USD.
Yet don't think no one is crazy enough to buy these – in fact, they're all already sold out. All of them. Otaku can occasionally be quite shameful creatures it seems.

For the eighth straight year, Mississippi students have helped contribute to the number of high school students participating in advanced placement (AP) courses that is outpacing the national rate.
According to a report recently released by the Southern Regional Education Board, the number of students participating and excelling in AP courses continues to grow. The SREB also reports a significant increase in the number of minority students participating in AP courses.
In 2005, the total of Mississippi high school students taking AP exams was 5,910 compared to 9,258 in 2010. The number of African-American students taking the AP exam in 2005 was 1,461 across the state compared to 2,427 in 2010.
Locally, Starkville High School has seen the same trends.
In addition to the increase seen in AP courses, SHS has noticed an increase in the number of students scoring exceptionally well, with five students last year earning the AP Scholars Award for an average scores of 3.25 on a 5-point scale.
"In Mississippi, 3,173 students took the AP US History test in 2010. Out of this group, 317 scored a 3 or higher. Among the eight students I taught during the 2009-2010 academic year, three got a 4 and two got a 3. Among the group of 3's, one was an African-American female," said Dr. Craig Piper, SHS AP U.S. History teacher.
SHS currently offers seven AP courses. Two of those courses, U.S. History and European History, are taught by Piper and Ty Adiar, respectively. Piper and Adair have recently been commended for their contributions to the College Board's AP Program.
Each summer, Piper and Adair read and evaluate the AP exam essays for the program. Both teachers read roughly 1,000 essays during the course of the summer. Being selected as essay readers has given both Piper and Adair's students a tremendous advantage in the classroom, both agree.
"You can tell them what to focus on and shape your class around what the readers are looking for," Piper explained of the advantages.
"A typical high school AP teacher wouldn't have access to that kind of information," Adair added.
Both Piper and Adair feel AP courses are extremely beneficial for high school students.
"The college preparation they receive — that's the biggest thing," Piper explained. "We hope they can go to any college in the U.S. and show up to class and be able to compete with any other student there."
"They learn how to study on the college level while still in high school," Adair added.
Piper and Adair both have stories of former students returning to visit SHS and thanking them for the advantage the students have now that they are in college because of their AP courses, the teachers recalled.
Not only do AP courses prepare students for academic life at the collegiate level, it also allows students to earn college credits while still in high school.
With the recent push within the Starkville School District to offer a variety of learning options, including dual enrollment, Piper and Adair recognize some of the benefits of AP versus dual enrollment.
AP courses offer students a chance to take classes that are on par with freshman-level college courses while remaining in the comfort of their high school class. Dual enrollment also costs students college tuition while AP courses can be taken at no extra cost.
"We still realize the kids are high school kids," Piper said. "AP teachers are in the position to evaluate them on the college level, but gradually help them get out of the mindset of being a high school kid to a college student."
"You have more time to have them in class, and you can guide them through and teach them they skills they need to be ready for college," Adair added.
"We're also able to have more personal relationships with our students. In college, you very seldom learn the names of your students, let alone correspond with them individually," Piper said. "It's very rewarding when you see your students working hard to get better — that's the most fun part to watch."

When I first moved here, the apartment was nice. Picnic table, clean pool, grounds were kept clean and parking was ok. After the first year the place changed significantly. They switched on-site managers and it went down from there. The other poster who wrote about the urine-soaked elevator and expired inspection sign is not lying! Very disgusting. The pool area is unkempt. The picnic table went from having boards missing to having the whole sitting side missing to finally just being gone! The BBQ pit damaged and unkempt. A resident brought his BBQ pit down there just so other tenants could enjoy the outside area.
By the type of tenants that they started to let in- I knew the place was going to go downhill fast. I stayed on a floor with a lot of 'old time' tenants (been there 5yrs or more) and we were all just stunned with how SPM handled this once nice building.
The carpets in the hallway are stained and smelly. The laundry room is a mess( I got my suitcase that I used to transport my clothes in stolen amongst other things). The lights around the apartment don't work and again- the managment sucks. I will never rent anything from SPM again. They really do not care about their tenants and if they can let a once beautiful complex go to ---- in just 1 year- i feel sorry for all of the other complexes that they are acquiring. They should be shamed.

I wish I discovered Wupzey when my 2 year old was just learning to eat solids by herself a year ago! It would have made my endless cleaning a lot easier. Anything for a baby that you can just wipe and it looks clean, deserves a Nobel peace prize. Wouldn't you agree?
Ease of use & Design: Wupzey sent us a bib, smock, and floor mat for review. Now I'm sure if you have a baby, you have a few bibs. We do too. With stains all over. We got pretty bibs that aren't so pretty anymore. Wish I went with Wupzey from the beginning. After she eats, I just rinse or wipe it and it is clean, dry, and ready to use again for the next meal. Such a breeze. I love the generous sizing as well.
The floor mat we actually haven't used on the floor yet (maybe with the next baby). But it does fit perfectly on her children's table set as a table cloth! Protects from spills, scratches (a little too late for that now). If you have a small children's table, I highly recommend getting one of these, you will thank me later. We already have 'artwork' drawn on it with a pencil. The smock we have actually only used as a bib so far, not any art projects. I do wish it was a tad longer and provided coverage of the arms though.
Quality & Value: I love how durable these items are, they will serve us well and maybe even other families after us. The pricing is all very reasonable. The small bibs are are $4.95 and large ones (pictured on my 2 year old) are $5.95 (also sold in 2 packs). The floor mat is $11.95, and the toddler coveralls are $9.95 each.
How is this green: Wupzey products are non-toxic, and though they are waterproof, they do not contain any vinyl, phthalates, pvc, or bpa (material, think waterproof cloth diapers). As a mom I can certainly appreciate it!
About the Company: Started by a mom out of necessity - of course that results in the best of products! I love all their products. The high chair covers are neat, wish I had one to start with before we ruined the high chair with food stains.
Who Would You Recommend this to? For the moms who want some help with baby messes (cause let's face it, the dads are rarely the ones cleaning!). The food catcher, bib, and high chair cover are perfect for the messy infant learning to
play with eat solids. A product useful from birth to age 5 and even beyond that (like I said, the floor mat is a great table cloth!).

There is a theory that listening to a particular piece of music, written by Mozart, may improve how well the brain works This may be a helpful treatment for some people with a neurological condition, including epilepsy. This theory has been called the Mozart Effect. The piece of music that is thought to help is Mozart's Sonata for two pianos in D Major, K448 (also known as Mozart K448).
The term Mozart effect was first used in 1993, by a group of researchers. They studied what happened to a group of students, after they had listened to Mozart K448 for 10 minutes. The researchers noticed that for about 10 to 15 minutes after listening to the music, they had better 'spatial-reasoning skills'. This means they performed better in certain tasks they were given, which included paper cutting and folding.
Since then, various researchers and doctors have carried out studies to look at how listening to Mozart K448 may have an effect on people with epilepsy. Below is information about three of these studies.
1. An electroencephalogram (EEG) test measures the electrical patterns in a person's brain, and it can show if there is any epileptiform activity. Epileptiform activity means that the person has certain electrical patterns in their brain that indicate they are at risk of having seizures.
In 1998, researchers asked 29 people with epilepsy to listen to Mozart K448 while having an EEG test. The people who were chosen had shown lots of epileptiform activity in part or all of their brain during previous EEG tests. For 23 people who took this test, the EEG test showed less epileptiform activity in their brain while they were listening to the music.
Epilepsy Action has more information about EEG tests.
2. In Taiwan in 2011, 58 children with focal epilepsy listened to eight minutes of Mozart K448, once a day. They then had EEG tests after one, two and six months. For 47 of the children, each EEG test showed a further decrease in epileptiform activity.
Epilepsy Action has more information about focal epilepsy.
3. Also in Taiwan in 2011, 11 children with refractory (difficult to control) epilepsy were studied. Most of the children had learning difficulties. The number of seizures they had in six months were counted. After this, they listened to Mozart K448, once a day before bed time, for six months. During this time, their seizures were counted again. Of the 11 children, eight became seizure free, or had a high reduction in their seizures, in the months they listened to the music.
In summary, there have been a few, small studies carried out, looking at the effects of listening to Mozart's music for people with epilepsy. The studies have focused on Mozart's music, rather than music by other composers. Some people believe that the results look promising and that listening to Mozart should be considered as an extra treatment for some people with epilepsy. However, other people believe that there is still not enough evidence, understanding or proof to show that this could be helpful.
To find out if the Mozart effect really could benefit more people with epilepsy, more research is needed. This could involve larger numbers of people.

Opposition to Prop 5 coming from all sides
Gov. Snyder was the featured speaker at a Defend Michigan Democracy press conference today opposing Proposal 5, a constitutional amendment requiring a 2/3 supermajority to vote on any tax changes. Sen. Gretchen Whitmer (D-East Lansing) and Rich Studley, President and CEO of the Michigan Chamber of Conference, along with other Michigan business and community leaders spoke in opposition to the proposal.
Yesterday, Defend Michigan Democracy began a series of "VOTE NO on 5 Odd Couple" videos. The five videos will feature diverse groups of people agreeing that the proposal is a bad idea. Stephen Henderson and Nolan Finley, editorial page editors of the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News starred in the first video. Next week, Gov. Snyder and Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero will speak out against the proposal.
Proposal 5 is being funded and supported by one Michigan billionaire – Ambassador Bridge owner Matty Maroun – who bought petition signatures and is supported by Washington lobbyists and other extreme political supporters looking to control the Legislature. Their goal is to protect tax policies that benefit them at the expense of our future economy and taxpayers. There are too many times when partisan politics and extreme agendas have controlled legislative action here in Michigan. This proposal would make the situation worse.
Proposal 5 is dangerous and way too extreme. It would give a small minority of lawmakers—as few as 13 senators—the power to control the state's financial future. On the surface, the proposal sounds ideal—making it harder to increase taxes—but Proposal 5 would prevent the state from dealing with any financial emergencies. The current Legislature hasn't seen fit to provide additional education funding, and Proposal 5 could prevent any future increases. We would continue to see class sizes increase, higher education becoming even more expensive and more layoffs.
MEA is one of many statewide organizations urging a NO vote on Proposal 5. Learn more at www.VoteNoOnProp5.com.

We got our Tamworth piglet, Michelle, back in June and we slaughtered her this past weekend. (No graphics, don't worry!)
Growing out the piglet was quite a bit of fun — we discovered that a Tamworth is very talkative and full of personality. She learned a few tricks while we had her, too. But our objective wasn't to raise a pet pig.
A Tamworth is an old heritage breed that is rare in the US. The Tamworth, originating in the UK, is known to produce more meat and less fat, with a very good carcass yield. The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy says, "The Tamworth was traditionally considered a "bacon" breed, meaning that the pigs thrived on low energy foods but grew slowly. They produced meat and bacon that was lean and fine grained. The breed has an excellent carcass yield of up to 70% due to their fine bones creating a more productive meat to bone ratio for finished meat products."
To grow out our Tamworth to a pork-producing pig, we fed her at least a half-gallon of fresh goat milk each day, mixed with a commercially-available organic pig chow. She was also fed alfalfa hay, organic oatmeal, along with some other grains, plus our garden scraps and table scraps.
We butchered the pig ourselves and cut the meat into shoulder roasts, hams, tenderloins, ribs, bacon, flanks, and ham steaks. We also cut meat for bacon and sausage.
We flavored some of our sausage using ground thyme, savory, fresh ground pepper, salt, and crushed bay. We also made sausage that was flavored with rubbed sage, fresh ground pepper, and salt. We used crushed red peppers to spice up a few pounds that we'll use in Italian dishes.
We measured out 15 pounds of sausage that were made into patties for breakfasts. The rest of the sausages were processed into 1-pound packages.
Later today, we will begin to cure the bacon. There isn't a great deal of lard on a Tamworth, but we collected what we could, so this week, I will render the lard. Outside…
All of the fresh, organic pork we butchered from our Tamworth was well worth the time and money. We can cure without nitrites or other nasty chemicals. We can spice with our own blended herbs that we grew on our homestead. And best of all, we know what our meat consists of. Next year, we plan to get several piglets for our homestead and we'll pasture them instead of using a confined pig pen.
For more about raising a pig for meat, the Sugar Mountain blog is filled with first-class pig-talk!

Great Projector!
By Cameron
from Casper, WY
This projector is great for home Cinema. The lamp life has been phenomenal. I am currently at 5700 Hours on my first lamp. This is well past the rated maximum and it still isn't dim. The only cons I see with this projector are the fact that the lamps are currently so pricey and that the black levels are not as crisp as they could be.

The point is to find games that are graphically intensive to do your comparison with since we're discussing cutting-edge hardware. Why should anyone expect a brand new card to really shine in games that already run over 70fps on prior hardware (GTX 275) like in your Wolfenstein test?
That's why I posted benches specifically of Crysis and the new Stalker, because they are the two most graphically intense games on the market and allow for a more accurate gauge of the strength of newer hardware. Need for Speed is also a newer title which can be demanding when you turn up the AA.
Sure, you'll see benches that show there's not much of a difference between 5970 and 295 or 285 SLI. But consider what it is that you're looking at and whether that game really utilizes the extra graphics power. Also, how do you rationalize the fact that some tests, like the Need for Speed tests at Hardocp, show the 5970 more than
the GTX 295 in performance?

ARINC Selected for Lancaster County Emergency Radio System (3/6/12)
After a competitive bid, ARINC was selected to enter negotiations for a contract to provide a countywide emergency radio system for Lancaster County, Pa.
The Lancaster County commissioners unanimously approved the contract. The county's current system technology is more than a half-century old. ARINC will provide a system that includes a Cassidian Communications CORP25 network, Zetron dispatch console system and support for multiple manufacturers' radios. The system will allow local emergency responders to communicate together during incidents, as well as communicate with Chester County and Maryland responders.
"Hundreds of police, fire and emergency medical responders must be able to rely on a radio system that supports their life-saving work," said Marvin Ingram, ARINC's senior director of public-safety communications. "Not only will the system we build support their mission, but we will help do it in a responsible, cost-efficient way for the taxpayers of Lancaster County."
In December, ARINC was awarded a $2.6 million contract to provide enhanced electronics for the Chester County public-safety digital radio paging network.

Hoosiers Close Out Season With WNIT Loss At South Dakota State
March 22, 2007
BROOKINGS, S.D. - Junior Nikki Smith led four Hoosiers in double figures with a team-high 12 points, but it was not enough as the Hoosiers fell to South Dakota State, 60-53, in the third round of the Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) in Frost Arena on Thursday, March 22.
Smith was 3-of-10 from the field for her 12 points, including a 3-of-8 effort from behind the arc. She was also 3-of-4 from the free throw line. Senior Sarah McKay and sophomore Kim Roberson each tallied 11 points in the loss for IU (19-13), while sophomore Whitney Thomas recorded the only double-double of the contest with a game-high 12 rebounds and 10 points. McKay had a 5-of-12 performance from the floor for the Hoosiers, and Roberson's 11 points included a 5-of-7 effort from the charity stripe.
A jumper by Ketty Cornemann just under five minutes into the second half of play gave South Dakota State (25-4) a two point advantage, 40-38. The Jackrabbits would hold onto the advantage until senior Leah Enterline sank two free throws to give IU back the lead, 47-46, with 6:32 remaining in play.
A back and forth battle ensued from there, as the score was tied twice and the lead changed hands three times over the next two and a half minutes. After a layup by McKay, capping off a 5-0 IU run, gave the Hoosiers a one point lead at 53-52 with 2:28 left, Megan Vogel tied the score on a free throw for South Dakota State. Vogel then put the Jackrabbits ahead by two with a layup with just over one minute remaining and South Dakota State scored its final five points from the free throw line to wrap up the game.
After the Hoosiers took a 24-11 lead to open the contest, the Jackrabbits scored 12 unanswered points to cut IU's lead to just one, 24-23, with 4:03 remaining in the first half. Thomas hit a layup with 3:48 to go and Smith followed with a 3-pointer with 2:50 remaining to increase Indiana's lead to six, 29-23. However, South Dakota State answered with a layup from Ashlea Muckrenhirn and a 3-pointer from Andrea Verdegan to put the Jack's back within one, 29-28, with 31.8 seconds remaining. A layup by Thomas sent the Hoosiers into the break with some momentum and a 31-28 lead.
The Hoosiers shot 32.1 percent (17-of-53) from the field and were narrowly edged out by South Dakota State with a 32.7 shooting percentage (18-of-55). The Jackrabbits won the battle on the boards, 49-33, including a 10-17 advantage on the offensive glass.
Vogel led all players with 14 points on 5-of-17 shooting from the field. Verdegan tallied 12 for South Dakota State and Jennifer Warkenthien scored 10. Maria Boever led the Jackrabbits with 10 rebounds in the contest.

The cold hard truth on why US President Barack Obama has not visited Africa, or Kenya in particular, is simple. We don't matter in the geo-political scheme of things. Soon after his re-election, Obama went on a visit to Asian countries.
Though he masked his visit with some flowery language, the primary reason for his visit was to tell China to keep off Asian affairs, and thereby safeguard American interests in the region.
Make no mistake. Africa is hugely endowed with natural resources. The continent has 10 percent of the world's oil reserves, 25 percent of the world's gold reserves, and substantial deposits of uranium- a key ingredient in the generation of nuclear energy.
It is estimated that River Congo could power the whole continent, from Cape to Cairo. Minerals in DR Congo are powering the current information revolution, as some are used in making mobile phone and computer parts.
Perhaps, DR Congo best represents how the forces of globalisation can conspire to increase conflict in a region. Globalisation will soon hit your doorstep, if it hasn't already. For example, soon, your closest competitor will not be your neighbour.
It will be someone from very far away. The truth is that the world trade policies are heavily skewed against the continent. While all the major minerals are produced in Africa, the trading, and the profits are made in Wall Street, New York.
While the coffee farmer in Nyeri and Kisii is labouring all day, the real profits are made by coffee giants like Starbucks. With the coming of genetic foods, things will get scarier.
You will have to buy seeds from seed multinationals- certainly foreign owned. Does the African population know about these things? I highly doubt. If the Kenyan electorate is anything to go by, then you can bet that the continent is doomed either way you look at it.
To quote one of my favorite writers, Binyavanga Wainaina, "Africa is a place where the lost are perpetually leading the blind, yet somehow finding their way home." What we don't know is whether that home will withstand the storms of globalisation.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
well, this may not apply, but i'll throw it out anyway. the highest
paying job i had was tutoring highschool math, physics, chemistry and
i charged $15/hr if they came to me or $25 to go there. i ended up with
too much work and the jobs were still rolling in.
one guy called and i told him that i couldn't take any more jobs; i was
already tutoring something like 15 people and was having trouble with my
own schoolwork because of it.
he said "how much would i have to pay you?". i told him a ridiculous
amount. i said "$50/hr if she came to my place, $75/hr to go there".
he thought that $50/hr was very reasonable. i was floored. we're
talking basic physics -- relative motion and statics of rigid bodies.
after that, i started charging $50/hr and found that high school parents
were perfectly willing to pay that much.
i reduced my tutoring load down to 5 people.
i eventually dumped the tutoring gig because i felt my brain atrophy.
there's only so many times i can explain equation balancing or how to
use the law of cosines. teaching college classes was more rewarding.
plus, you're not guaranteed income. i've been toying with getting back
into tutoring high school. with a sagging economy, it would be
interesting to see if people would be willing to pay that much.
it's also possible that my tutoring services passed around by word of
mouth. recommendations and whatnot. dunno for sure. i should've asked
why they were willing to pay so much.
fwiw, the only place i advertised my tutoring services was in the co-op
most of the parents were content to let the students come to my place.
there were a few that made special arrangements for $50/hr and meeting
at UCD (since i was there anyhow). with all the recent child abductions
in california and elsewhere, it would be ... nuts to let a 16 year old
daughter go to some stranger's house. even if the stranger did seem
like a respectible sort.
nobody paid $75/hr. ;-)
other than that, my best jobs were found through college job postings
(computer operator job was the best job i ever had).

For a long time, the San Jose Earthquakes were the only MLS club going with a name that dated back to the original NASL. They weren't the first to fully embrace their NASL heritage though (hat tip to the Sounders for inventing that).
But the club is making up for lost time with this year's season-ticket packages, which featuring several nods back to the disco-era Quakes of the past. Among the connections they're making to the earliest incarnation of the Earthquakes are:
- Throwback NASL jerseys to season ticket holders who paid in full by the final home game of 2011
- "EST. 1974" has been added below the collar on the back of the 2012 jersey
- Ticket books include photos, like the one above, from different generations of soccer in San Jose
This is in addition to last year's dedication of the George Best Gate at Buck Shaw Stadium, which will have a monitor playing a loop of Best scoring "The Greatest Goal Ever" for 2012.
It's all good stuff but I'm partial to the old school photos on the tickets. Is there anything more retro-cool than having George Best and Johnny Moore in your hands on game day?
Well played, @WhitecapsFC. Very well played.
It took Benny Feilhaber all of about 3 minutes last night to show that he's up for preseason. Soccer's favorite all-American, New York-born, Austrian-Brazilian did his best Lance Armstrong impersonation against LA in the opening match of the 2012 Desert Diamond Cup with an outlandish bike kick goal to put the Revs up 1-0 before most of the crowd had even taken their seats. Hell of a way to start the year.
Former Houston Dynamo midfield ace Stuart Holden hasn't had the easiest time since joining England's Bolton Wanderers in January of 2010. Sidelined twice by serious injuries, a broken leg and an anterior cruciate ligament injury, Holden has unfortunately become just as familiar with the inside of the rehab room as he is with the pitch.
But, as the old saying goes, when life hands you lemons you make lemonade. Or a Youtube series. Welcome to No Holden Back.
Before you settle in to watch tonight's LIVE, streaming pre-season games from Arizona, head over to TheCrew.com for a LIVE stream of the "State of the League" conversation from 6:00-8:00 PM with MLS Commissioner Don Garber alongside Columbus Crew Owner Clark Hunt and Crew President & GM Mark McCullers.
Have a question the commissioner? Ask him via Twitter using the hashtag #Crew96. Make sure to follow the Columbus Crew on Twitter for further updates.
Watch the "State of the League" here.
With First Kick only weeks away it's time to start thinking about making all of the necessary purchases that make your season complete.
You'll need your tickets, your new kit and your new, officially licensed MLS gnome for sure. You'll also need MLS Live for those days that you can't make it out to the stadium in your kit with your gnome (they're for good luck).
MLS Live, formerly known as MatchDay Live, is an all-new product for the 2012 season, completely rebuilt and reimagined. MLS Live offers high quality, HD streams in Flash that will be available across multiple devices; one subscription will allow you to access 230+ games via computer, iPad, iPhone, Roku & Panasonic TV's. That's one price, 5 devices.
And what's the price? $59.99 for the season. Not a bad deal at all.
MLS Live launches soon...very soon. For more information visit MLSsoccer.com in the coming days.
Forget Jimmy Conrad and his jokes. Forget Eddie Johnson talking about himself in the third person. And don't even bother to tip your beret in the general direction of Thierry Henry.
Sporting KC's Aurelien Collin is the funniest, most delightfully conceited Frenchman you will ever lay eyes on...and he's here to solve all of your problems.
Welcome to Collin's Corner.
March 11 can't come soon enough. Block out your schedule, take the day off, hire a sitter ... just do what you have to do to be in front of the TV at 3 pm ET.
You will not want to miss the debut of MLS on NBC.
If you have a spare few minutes I implore you to check out this clip on Kei Kamara and his reluctance to join Sporting KC, who were still the Wizards at the time.
It's kind of hard to believe now that he's one of the faces of the franchise but KC was a place the erstwhile Houston striker really didn't want to be and he told coach Peter Vermes exactly that. Mind you the Kansas City franchise of 2009 played on a tiny field in a minor-league baseball park and, subsequently, weren't too high on the wish list of many MLS players. My how things have changed.
Have you entered "NASL" into Google lately? No? Do it now and there is a good chance you'll be surprised by the fact that there is a third league that goes by that name.
Most American soccer fans are familiar with the old NASL which ran from the 1960's to the early '80s and the second division league that currently operates under that name. But there is also something called the North American Starcraft League which, according to its website, "was established to foster the prominence of esports and professional Starcraft 2 play in North America through highly visible organized and invigorating competition".
Finally, a league to out-obscure the American second division. Thank you Starcraft fans.

Obama Cabinet shuffles; at least 3 heads intend to stay
Posted: January 9, 2013 at 3:58 p.m.
WASHINGTON A White House official says Attorney General Eric Holder and the secretaries of Health and Human Services and Veterans Affairs will remain with the Obama administration as it enters a second term.
The official said Holder, who leads the Justice Department, and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and VA Secretary Eric Shinseki will remain with the administration amid changes to the Cabinet as President Barack Obama moves into his second term.
Labor Secretary Hilda Solis submitted her resignation.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss personnel changes, said the three remaining officials were not an exhaustive list of which Cabinet members intended to stay.
Obama has received some criticism that his initial Cabinet choices for the State Department and Defense Department do not reflect the nation's diversity.

Almost Uncirculated 1858 Eagle, A Rare No Motto Issue1858 $10 AU50 NGC. The 1858 is an obvious rarity as seen from its mintage of only 2,521 pieces. However, it is not the landmark rarity that B. Max Mehl once promoted it as. Most rare gold experts today believe that 25 to 30 pieces exist in all grades. This piece was struck from the usual later state of the dies that shows detached hair curls at the back of Liberty's neck, made so by overzealous die polishing. The peripheral details on this piece are somewhat softly defined, and the surfaces are bright orange-gold overall with numerous small abrasions scattered over each side. (NGC ID# 263W, PCGS# 8625)

I had to get a little kick out of bed this morning, my back twisted up in a spasm last night and I was out for the count. Nevertheless, I found myself on route to check up on the Hyena cubs. It is very cold in the morning and I have a recently purchased a balaclava to shield my face from the icy cold wind. The balaclava has aided the coining of a new nickname – Safari Ninja, or "Sninja" for short.
I took it easy as not to injure my back any further and got a little side tracked at Sosigi Dam. The cloud above the water is magnified by the golden light of the rising sun and is a masterpiece of nature all on its own. I spent a little time around the dam even though there were no animals to be seen – except the intermittent bobbing eyes of the Hippo that have made it their new home.
Eventually, after taking the long way round, I pulled up into the ravine where the Hyena den is situated. Before I reached the den, six adult Hyenas had posted a road block, they regrouped and surrounded the car, but it seems they only wanting to taste my tyres (Yes, those tyres), luckily they didn't suffer any injury. I would think that one sharp look from a Hyena would puncture those wafer thin sidewalls!
It was an absolute magical time spent watching them sporting around, playing with the cubs, and watching the cubs suckling their mother. I found it incredible how quickly the clan decided that we weren't a threat and included us in their daily happenings. Even though these Hyenas are completely wild, they show many traits of domestic animals; for example, fighting over sticks, running in circles and chasing each other. The Hyenas made my day!
