Starkville Academy honored four of its own as it battled Copiah Academy on the home tennis courts.
Tuesday's contest with the Colonels marked the last time a quartet of seniors, including Matt Jones, Mary Austin Barber, Laura Austin Crane and Vicky Sun would pick up a racket for a regular season match at Starkville Academy.
It has been a while since Evan Mitchell has pitched for Mississippi State.
The junior right hander will get his first opportunity in over a month when he takes the mound for the No. 17 (Collegiate Baseball) Bulldogs against the Memphis Tigers at Autozone Park in Memphis today at 6:30 p.m.

Six was a magic number for the Starkville Yellowjackets as the team posted six runs in the sixth inning to knock off visiting West Point 9-2.
With a win so close to the playoffs, Jackets' coach Brian Jones is hoping the momentum of success will carry over into the team's next appearance.
Harrison McBride wasn't sure what he'd be able to provide the Starkville Academy Volunteers on Monday.
It turns out that he was able to give the Vols a lift.
McBride shot a 75 in the No. 4 position, good for third place individually, as Starkville Academy carded a 317 and finished third as a team at the Starkville Academy Invitational. The event was hosted by the Starkville Country Club.
Will Goodwin's path in football led him back home.
Following a busy athletic career at Starkville Academy, Goodwin enjoyed a two-year stint as the kicker for the Itawamba Community College football team.
Hunter Renfroe has been putting on a show in 2013.
The Mississippi State junior outfielder is batting .407 with 13 home runs and 42 RBI.
After dropping its first three Southeastern Conference series, Mississippi State has fought back in a big way.
It wasn't more evident than Saturday afternoon.
The No. 18 (Collegiate Baseball) Bulldogs beat the Auburn Tigers 6-0 in front of 14,562, the second largest crowd at Dudy Noble Field, to win the three-game Southeastern Conference series.
There have been times when the Mississippi State Bulldogs have struggled to come up with key base hits during the baseball season.
Even though the Bulldogs left the bases loaded twice on Saturday, they produced in a key situation during the third inning of a 6-0 victory over the Auburn Tigers.
Tyler Russell has proven that he is capable of leading the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
On Saturday it was another quarterback that shined.
Junior walk-on quarterback Sam Cowart led the Maroon team to a 38-28 win over the White team in MSU's annual Maroon-White Spring Game at Davis Wade Stadium.
It appears that Mississippi State quarterback Tyler Russell has a new group of wide receivers to distribute the football around to this fall.
After losing such talent as Chad Bumphis, Arceto Clark and Chris Smith, a drop off could have happened for the Bulldogs.
During Saturday's Maroon-White Spring Football Game at Davis-Wade Stadium, MSU had a different look at wide receiver.

Lakers beat Raptors 118-116 in OT to go over .500
LOS ANGELES Kobe Bryant's steely determination never wavers. It's his 34-year-old body he sometimes wonders about.
He skipped pre-game shootaround because his shoulders were tight, and he was feeling weary in overtime.
But Bryant found enough energy to hit the tying 3-pointer with 5 seconds to play in regulation, then dunked for the go-ahead basket with 10 seconds left in the extra session, helping the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Toronto Raptors 118-116 on Friday night for their second straight come-from-behind win.
They rallied from 25 points down to beat New Orleans on the road two nights earlier, when Bryant had 42 points and 12 assists. This time, he finished with 41 points and 12 assists, and made 14 of 16 free throws.
"It's like, `Damn, are you kidding again?'" Bryant said. "Do we collectively have the energy to do this again, and we did."
Against the Raptors, the Lakers rallied from a 15-point deficit in regulation and a slow start in overtime to close within a half-game of Utah for the eighth and final Western Conference playoff berth. They also moved a game above .500.
"It feels good to be back within striking distance," Bryant said. "We're just hell-bent on trying to win games."
Dwight Howard had 24 points and 13 rebounds while going 6 of 13 from the free-throw line as he and Bryant complimented each other well for the second game in a row.
"We know what we're trying to accomplish as a team and we just stuck together," Howard said. "Kobe hit some tough shots and then we got some good stops at the end."
DeMar DeRozan led six Toronto players in double figures with 28 points. Rudy Gay and Alan Anderson added 17 points each, and Kyle Lowry had 15 points and 10 assists. Starter Andrea Bargnani left the game with a strained right elbow in the first quarter.
"Our guys are fighting, scratching their behinds off," Toronto coach Dwane Casey said. "Now we have to understand the intensity, the speed of the game, how much you have to put thought into the game and execution at the same time as you are playing hard."
The Lakers won their fifth in a row at home and 10th straight at Staples Center against Toronto, which was seeking its first-ever season sweep after winning 108-103 on Jan. 20.
The Lakers found themselves playing catch-up nearly the entire game.
Under defensive pressure in overtime, Bryant passed off to his teammates, but they repeatedly missed. Steve Nash finally hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 115 with 45 seconds left. Then, Bryant's running dunk gave the Lakers their second lead of overtime.
"He's a clutch shooter, you can't just leave him open," Bryant said. "He made them pay."
Howard fouled Alan Anderson, who made the first free throw and deliberately missed the second. But Aaron Gray fouled going for the ball, giving the Lakers possession. Nash got fouled and missed the first but made the second for a 118-116 lead.

Former Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton is throwing fire at his former home, saying that the Dallas Fort-Worth area isn't a good baseball town in an interview with the Dallas Fort-Worth CBS affiliate. "There are true baseball fans in Texas, but it's not a true baseball town," said Hamilton. "They're supportive," Hamilton said about the fans, "but they also got a little spoiled at the same time pretty quickly." "You think about three to four years ago (before two straight World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011). It's like, come on man, are you happier there again?" If you want to see a textbook example of burning bridges on your way out of town, take a look at Hamilton's comments in this interview. He signed a five year, $125 million deal with the Angels this year, and Texas GM Jon Daniels was reportedly not pleased about not being given a chance to match the Los Angeles offer to Hamilton. Rangers manager Ron Washington essentially blew off Hamilton's comments. "I'm not answering anything that Josh said," Washington said. "That's Josh. Josh is an Angel. That's Josh's opinion. My opinion is there were 3.5 million fans that came through the turnstiles. That answers it right there." Rangers left fielder David Murphy, who will be expected to pick up some of the slack on offense after Hamilton's departure, went the opposite route of Hamilton and praised the Rangers' fanbase. "We've had an absolutely electric environment to where I think visiting teams coming to play us in Arlington probably view it as hostile a place as there is in baseball and that definitely plays to our advantage," Murphy said. "I definitely (like) the way that the fans have come out and supported us. The last few summers have been extremely hot. It's going to be tough for me to come watch a baseball game when it's 110 degrees out or 105 degrees out. I really appreciate the way they've supported us, especially through all the heat." You can say what you want to say about the lack of tact in Hamilton's comments, but the Rangers drew less than two million fans in a season as recently as 2008, and drew 2.1 million fans in 2009 before increasing substantially in the last three seasons, topping out at 3.4 million this past season. Winning obviously draws fans in droves, and with the Rangers never having sustained success until the past three seasons, it's been tough for the team to steadily bring fans in. 2013 will be the test for the Rangers fanbase after the team collapsed late in the season and lost the wild card playoff game to the Orioles. With Hamilton and Mike Napoli both departing Texas, it could be a rough season for the Rangers, and the patience of their fans could be tested. [ESPN Dallas] [follow]
Hamilton should just keep his mouth shut, Texas stood by him when he had a bad drug problem. In a case like this it's best to just take the high road and not open Pandora's Box.
Josh is a hypocrite. He always said he loved playing in Texas when he was there. So he got a few boos last year and his feelings got hurt and he pouted off into the sunset. I wonder if he remembers his teamates celebrating with gingerale out of respect only to have him fall off the wagon all by himself. But most of all I wonder how he thinks that little boy who lost his father feels when he hears Josh talk so negativley about the Texas fans.

For the second year running, Stephen Kiprotich, sums up Uganda's athletics season, Moses Mugalu writes.
The Olympic and World Marathon champion's all-conquering performance at the World Championships in Moscow in August yielded Uganda's second gold medal at major events within a space of twelve months.
Kiprotich's triumph sparked off jubilant scenes in the country (on August 17) as millions of Ugandans glued on their television watched the lanky marathoner break away from his Ethiopian rivals to hit the finish tape inside Moscow's Luzhniki stadium.
His winning time of two hours, nine minutes and 51 seconds beat off stiff competition from the Ethiopian duo of Lelisa Desisa (2:10.12) and Tadese Tola (2:10.23) who claimed silver and bronze medals respectively.
Kiprotich flashed his trademark radiant smile as iconic images of his final strides into the stadium with one arm raised in victory salute beamed on screens to a thunderous applause. Compatriot Jackson Kiprop is hailed for having set the pace for Kiprotich in the race as he led the event through the half mark tiring off strong Kenyan and Ethiopian rivals.
It was another historic triumph from Kiprotich, who had ended the country's 40-year-old Olympic gold medal spell by winning the marathon race at the 2012 Games in London.
The 24-year-old Prisons commissioner (fast-tracked from warden, thanks to his exploits on the athletics track) also sparked off new debate on whether he's best ever Ugandan sportsman. In the aftermath of his second gold in Moscow, as many pundits rated him ahead of legendary John Akii-Bua, the former 400m hurdle record holder champion at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany.
That said, Kiprotich had unmatched success (he has won two of the four gold medals for Uganda from the biggest athletics events) that earned the country pride, respect and hefty rewards for him. Dorcus Inzikuru won the 3000m steeplechase at the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki.
President Museveni, who hosted a state luncheon at his country Rwakitura home in honour of Kiprotich, showered the champion with prizes that included cash, a car and house. Prompted by Kiprotich's outstanding performance, Museveni revised upwards the monthly stipend paid to outstanding Ugandan sportsmen.
And accordingly, gold medalists in competitions at African level and beyond are paid Shs 5m per month. Silver fetch Shs 3m while bronze medalists get Shs 1m. This stipend introduced by Museveni in 2010, initially had gold medalists getting Shs 1m.
A high altitude training centre being constructed by government in his home district of Kapchorwa was also named after Kiprotich. In his progression to the success in Moscow, Kiprotich started the 2013 athletics season by winning Granollers Half Marathon in Spain in February. He ran the race in one hour one minute and 15 seconds, setting his personal best time in the 21-kilometre distance.
His next event was the Virgin London Marathon in April. It wasn't a triumphant return to the streets of the British capital as he finished the race in sixth position.
Ethiopian Tsegaye Kebede won the marathon, followed by Kenyan Emmanuel Mutai and Ayele Abshero (another Ethiopian) respectively. Barring the lukewarm show in the London Marathon, Kiprotich focused on his preparations for the World Championships in Russia.
Meanwhile, 800-metres runner Ronald Musagala and Juliet Chekwel (10,000m) are the other athletes whose performances merit mention in the 2013 season.
From the national championships at Namboole stadium, Musagala became the surprise qualifier for the games in Moscow where he continued to run his luck through the heats to the quarterfinal semifinal stage. Chekwel broke the national 10000m record while in Moscow.
Former Commonwealth champion (5,000m and 10,000m), Moses Kipsiro, did not live up to the expectations as injuries suffered in 2012 seemed to take toll on him this year.

Master of Arts in History
Phyllis Jestice
Jason Coy
Program Director
Program Description
The Graduate School of the College of Charleston and The Citadel Graduate College offer a joint master of arts in history providing each student with advanced specialized work in one of three areas: United States history, European history or Asian/African/Latin American history. The program offers qualified holders of the baccalaureate degree the opportunity to pursue historical studies in the midst of some of America's richest historical treasures. The management of the program is vested in a joint program committee composed of representatives of the two history departments, including the director and the associate director. (The latter two positions rotate between the two institutions.) Diplomas and other documents will indicate that the program was a joint endeavor and will include the names of both institutions.
Minimum Admission Requirements
Degree-Seeking Students
- Submit a completed application form with a nonrefundable application fee of $50.
- Submit one official copy of a transcript from each institution of higher learning attended, including documentation of graduation from an accredited four-year college or university.
- Submit three letters of recommendation, normally from former professors. Each referee should be as specific as possible in the analysis of the applicant's potential for academic success.
- Submit an official copy of test scores of the Graduate Record Examination or Miller Analogies Test (must be taken during the last five years). Applicants with exam scores taken through July 31, 2011 must have at least 500 on the verbal and between 4-6 on the writing assessment sections of the GRE. An applicant who fails to meet this score may be allowed to pursue coursework as a provisional student. Upon completion of nine semester hours with no more than three hours in independent study (HIST 770), and a minimum GPA of 3.25, the test score may be waived. The student must make this request in writing to the Joint Program Committee. The minimum verbal score for the GRE taken on or after August 1, 2011 is 150.
- Submit written evidence of applicant's ability to conduct research and present findings. Ideally, this requirement should be met by submission of a term paper, honors thesis, etc. from a graduate or upper-level course taken in college.
- Ordinarily, applicants are expected to have completed and passed at least 15 hours of undergraduate history courses beyond the introductory level.
- Applicants are expected to have a cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale and a 3.0 in the major.
Non-Degree Students
- Submit a completed application form with a nonrefundable application fee of $45
- Submit one official copy of a transcript from each institution of higher learning attended, including documentation of graduation from an accredited four-year college or university.
- With the approval of the director or associate director, non-degree students may be permitted to register for up to 12 semester hours of credit prior to applying for admission to the program. Non-degree students who have taken in excess of 12 semester hours of graduate courses in history must have permission of the Joint Program Committee to continue enrollment in a non-degree status. Courses taken in non-degree status may only be applied towards a degree with the approval of the Joint Program Committee.
Application Deadlines
The Joint Program Committee will consider completed applications for the degree program on the following dates:
Summer & Fall: March 1
Spring: October 15
Plan of Study
In consultation with an advisor, each degree candidate will develop a plan of study, which includes a minimum of nine hours of coursework at both institutions. The plan of study must be submitted to The Graduate School in order to be approved for graduation.
In addition to lectures and examinations, graduate courses will demand wide reading, thorough research, and advanced historical writing. Only graduate students will be automatically enrolled, but exceptional undergraduates – upper division majors in history and related disciplines who have a minimum GPA of 3.40 in history courses – may be enrolled in 500-level courses. For this, however, they will need permission from the instructor and the Joint Program Committee. No more than two 500-level courses may be taken by an undergraduate, while 600-level and 700-level courses are for graduate students exclusively. Since juniors and seniors will not receive graduate credit for completing these courses, the amount of work required of them will not be as great as that expected of the graduate students. The qualitative expectations remain the same for all students.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I went to the OLPC conference and I really enjoyed it. The great thing
about this conference is that were dedicated OLPC attendees from around
the world, technical and those doing deployments. Without a doubt, there
is great opportunity with OLPC and with that a lot of work to do. But,
at the same time, a lot of work has been done (shoulders of giants to
build upon). The conference had a great "grass roots" feel. Numerous
people contributed to make it happen, and there was no overlooming
corporate twist you sometimes feel at conferences.
I still have yet to write an application for OLPC. I would say that was a
shortfall of the programming session I went to. There were links to howtos
and online videos, but I would have really liked to have seen "hello
world". I did do a little digging afterwards, and most coding is done in
Python and it appears that GTK works under the hood using PyGTK. I hope to
soon write a simple app and run it on OLPC. There is also the integration
aspect of OLPC. OLPC has what is called Sugar on a Stick. If you download
the iso image for OLPC, you can burn create a bootable USB stick using
the Fedora Live USB creator.
I am running Ubuntu which has a "Startup Disk Creator" similar to
Fedora's. Somehow, I thought I might be able to create sugar on a
stick using Ubuntu's program, but this was not the case. So, someone
created me a stick. But, once again, how was I to code a program with
OLPC booted on my system. Yet, another neighor of mine mentioned that I
could install Sugar in my Ubuntu. A few moments later, I installed it,
but there seemed to be problems. I am not sure what they were, so I
am still have yet to write "Hello World". Even another Sugar developer
lamented that some of the integration was a ways off and work could be
done in this area. I hope to write a "Hello World" soon as there seems
to be a number of resources on the Wiki. Not to mention, I would like
to see TuxPaint on OLPC. The thing with OLPC seems that packages
contain the all the dependencies, so this may be a challenge.
I also learned about libusb while listening to a USB temperature probe
that is being used with OLPC in Uganda. I had not realized that USB
support in Linux had been moved to user space. OLPC uses the Linux kernel.
Some day down the road, I hope to check it out in detail. I'll add it
to the wishlist. At the same time, OLPC implements a security model in
case your laptop is stolen that I would like to dig into and see how it
is implemented.
It was also interesting to hear those who were doing implementations of
OLPC at schools and their experiences. One of the people who has worked in
Haiti told me teachers feared the laptops would replace them. I responded
that that would be quite a feat deserving the Loebner prize. And, we
also heard some details about an implementation in Birmingham, AL and
her experiences and struggle to make OLPC a success.
There was much more that I could recount upon. Those who didn't go, you
missed out!

Must- See: Wheelchair Kettlebell Series
Must- See: Wheelchair Kettlebell Series
It can be a challenge figuring out how to get an amazing workout when you use a wheelchair. People have vastly different mobility levels and different pocketbook amounts, all which make a big difference in the kind of workout you can get. That's why we're so excited to bring adapted Kettlebell video exercises to WHEELSTRONG SPORTS.
Kettlebell exercises were first developed in Russia in the early 20th century. First Kettlebell's were used to train Russian Military and then developed to strong man competitions. In today's world with so many different workout programs it is hard to decipher which one is best for you. What's great about Kettlebell training is that you develop strength, balance and power while working out at your own pace.
Learning various movements with this type of training allow wheelchair users to development better mobility. That is why we're so excited about our videos featuring Anderson Wise, a personal trainer and paraplegic from Needham, Massachusetts, who became interested in Kettlebell several years ago. To him, the Kettlebell training is the perfect workout.
"You don't have to join a gym to be able to train with a Kettlebell, which will save you money," says Wise. "Another great thing about Kettlebell is that you don't need a massive amount of expensive adaptive equipment to do it. All you need is a Kettlebell and a safe area to workout."
You can purchase a Kettlebell at a sporting goods store. "I would recommend buying a Go-Fit Kettlebell, which has a rubber protection around the bottom," says Wise. "As you become more comfortable and confident in your training you can switch to a competition-style Kettlebell which is what I use."
Wise shows you how to do a "Hang Clean" exercise which is the first video in his adaptive Kettlebell training series: a simple hand motion that works the shoulders. Remember to keep your chair stable. This is important when it comes to safety while doing Kettlebell movements in a wheelchair. "While performing a swing make sure you have good posture," he says. "I have a low back on my wheelchair and sometimes I have to transfer onto a chair with a high back for better support."
Wise also recommends having a friend or workout partner when doing Ketttlebell for extra safety too. You can never be too safe, especially when working out with heavier weights.
Watch the adapted Ketttlebell videos.

Reviews for the Sony VAIO VPCF121GX
Source: PC Mag
There is really only one reason why the Sony VAIO VPC-F121GX might be your next media center laptop: It's one of the lightest ones available if you absolutely need quad-core processing on the road. Otherwise, the drab design, subpar graphics, and small battery aren't worth the $1,200 Costco special. You're better off customizing a Dell Studio 17 to your specific needs or go all out with the Acer Aspire AS8943G-6782.

NVIDIA GeForce 310M: The GeForce 310M is the successor of the GeFore G210M and based on the same chip with very similar clock rates (shader speed +30MHz to 1530MHz).
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
The Core i7-740QM is a high-end quad-core CPU for laptops (in 2010) with a relative small base clock rate and a high Turbo Boost max frequency of 2.93 GHz (for one core). Therefore, it combines the advantages of a slow clocked quad core CPU with a fast single core one. Compared to the faster Core i7 mobile CPUs, the 740QM only features 6MB L3 Cache.

16.4": 16 inch display-variants exist since 2008 and partially got the market share of 15 inch notebooks. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.9 kg: This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.
Sony: Sony Corporation is a multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Japan. Sony is one of the leading manufacturers of electronics, video, communications, video game consoles, and information technology products for the consumer and professional markets. Its name is derived from sonus, the Latin word for sound. The company was founded 1946 with another name and renamed in 1958. Sony Corporation is the electronics business unit and the parent company of the Sony Group, which is engaged in business through its five operating segments—electronics, games, entertainment (motion pictures and music), financial services and other. Sony is a notebook manufacturer of medium size according international market shares.

I know many of you are in the midst of graduations right now. We have two in our house, as our daughter moves from St. Bonaventure School into Orange County High School of the Arts and our son — gulp — is off to college after graduating from Mater Dei.
Each year at this time, I wonder how parents and grandparents feel as they prepare for one of their flock beating their wings off into the world, taking flight on this next chapter of life.
And now I know.
Our son, Charles, will be attending USC this fall, and neither he nor we, could be happier. This has been his dream for many years, and to have it come to fruition is certainly a wonderful thing to behold.
Also, we've lived here long enough to have gotten to know many wonderful young people. Things like coaching Little League and basketball teams and speaking in school about writing have allowed me the good fortune to get to know many students who now find themselves poised for the next step.
To all of you parents who, like my wife, Jean, and I, may find yourselves feeling pangs of early separation pain while dabbing at tears that seem to appear from nowhere, congratulations on a job well done. This is what we worked so hard for; this is what matters to us most in life: how we have raised our children to get to this point.
And to the students, no matter what your plans are after high school, I wanted to offer a short verse, something I was writing for our son. I know it may be sort of corny, but sometimes, as my family can attest, I simply cannot help myself. I have just been impressed by so many of you in so many ways that it felt right to share this, in your honor — I hope the sentiments are appropriate.
"It's time to go into the world, to start to make your mark
And as you ready, some simple thoughts, before you do embark
I know you'll hear advice galore, so excuse this little poem
We parents like to make our points, before you're off to roam
Be bold, be brave, be not afraid to reach and stretch and strain
For you will learn as a simple rule; it's then you'll start to gain
Play fast and loud, stand tall, be proud, and you will go so far
Hold true the faith and principles that make you who are
Hard work and sweat and excellence can never be replaced
Good thing too, since those are things you always have embraced
And know that you will always be in thoughts and prayers each day
We'll miss your voice, your face, your mess — what else can we say?
The tears, the scrapes, the lazy days, the smile, your precious face

The most affordable all-birch Yamaha drumset ever!
An incredible value, the legendary tone of an all-birch Yamaha drumset is now available in the Stage Custom series. The low fundamental and warm tone of Yamaha's birch drums have been the top choice of drummers for over 30 years.
The Stage Custom Birch series is great for the beginner or the working professional. The staggered diagonal seam allows us to build a thin shell that will start round and stay round. The beautiful high-gloss lacquer finish and low-mass lugs lets the shell vibrate for superb tone and sustain.
Stage Custom Birch is available in three configurations as shell packs, as complete drumsets with our 700 series hardware, or as individual components.

- Dark Silver Metallic
- Natural Wood
- Raven Black
- Sapphire Blue

The first models were produced at Yamaha's Niitsu factory in Hamamatsu, Japan, and later at our Miyatake factory as well. Many drummers who are familiar with Yamaha today believe that Sakae Rhythm was the original Yamaha production facility, but in fact production was started at Yamaha's own factories. Another common misconception is that our Air Seal System was developed at Sakae Rhythm, but it was actually developed and introduced right from the first models that were produced at our own factories. One of the earliest Yamaha drum brochures shows the original Yamaha production facility and describes Air Seal System technology, a Yamaha innovation that is a vital part of our identity as a drum manufacturer to this day.
Al Foster, who was touring Japan with the Miles Davis at the time, signed on to become a Yamaha endorser in 1972.
This was the turning point at which Yamaha drums began to be recognized as world-class instruments that satisfied the requirements of leading professionals in the field.
Shell mounting hardware had been different for each series and model up until this time. The system drum concept brought about the unification of all drum mounting hardware so that drums and hardware from any series could be mixed and combined as required.
Hexagonal rods and holder bases of the same specifications were used for all models, and the diameter of all stand hardware piping and holders was fixed at 22mm to allow total system fiexibility and freedom.
Although this approach is commonplace among today's drum manufacturers, it was a revolutionary concept at the time. Just one of Yamaha's many innovations that have become standards.
Another Yamaha hardware innovation worthy of mention is the hide-away boom stand. It was patented at the time, but as soon as the patent expired all of our competitors began copying our design. Today it has become another "standard" feature.
This continuously adjustable ball clamp made it possible to position toms up, down, left, or right, to any position required with one quick action. The current design allows toms to be flipped over for convenient bottom-head tuning ... a feature that is greatly appreciated by both drummers and drum technicians. Like the hexagonal mounting rod, the ball clamp has become a symbol of Yamaha hardware superiority.
This model featured 100% birch shells, one-piece lugs, and a gorgeous sprayed finish. Maple was the most popular material for drum shells at the time, following the trend set by jazz drums from the U.S.A. Through our own research related to pianos and wind instruments, we had realized that birch would be an ideal material for drum shells. We were also the first to apply piano finishing techniques to drums, eschewing the veneer covering that was common at the time. The full force of Yamaha technology was applied to the production of this landmark product.
The use of one-piece lugs to enhance the natural hardness of the birch shells resulted in a tight, well-defined sound that was enthusiastically adopted by many top artists of the day, including Steve Gadd and Cozy Powell. The sound was so well suited to recording that the YD9000 has become the most recorded drum set in history. The name was later changed to "Recording Custom," a model that is still widely used today.
Although there were concerns that a change from birch to maple shells might meet some resistance from users, Yamaha decided to introduce maple shells in order to accommodate changes in the music scene as well as evolving recording technology. From about the mid 80's, influenced by the emergence of fusion, drummers began demanding response and resonance that would suit the more elaborate phrasing used in that genre. Maple provided a bright, rapid response that was ideal, and by reducing the dimensions of parts that could dampen resonance as much as possible the natural shell resonance could come through with unrestricted tone. This led to the development of small, lightweight lugs, an extremely thin "vintage" finish, and the YESS (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) nodal mount for open, organic shell resonance.
The idea of using small lugs mounted so that they don't dampen shell resonance was quickly adopted by other manufacturers as well.
Throughout the 90's Yamaha maintained an active, aggressive approach to product development. The Stage Custom model introduced in 1996 was one result. This series offered the same type of birch shell that was being used in the popular RC series, with the same one-piece lugs and a beautiful sprayed finish, at a surprisingly affordable price.
The Maple Absolute series took the philosophy of achieving the richest possible shell resonance to the next level. In the same year new beech shells were introduced alongside the existing birch shells in the Absolute series.
At around this time Yamaha was collaborating with top-level artists from all around the world in developing a range of exciting new products such as the Hipgig and JR drum kits, the Musashi snare, and the Subkick low-frequency capture device.
Although other manufacturers had avoided using oak in drums because it is extremely difficult to work with, Yamaha succeeded in forming this very hard wood into drum shells using our Air Seal System technology. The result was impressive response and huge bass that has made this model a standard in the Yamaha lineup.
Pushing Yamaha finishing technology to the limit, a lineup of almost 50 colors was developed for the Absolute series. The revolutionary detachable Nouveau lugs were developed to further reduce shell damping while at the same time making head replacement easier than ever.
Years of drum manufacturing experience and accumulated technological know-how, plus in-depth reassessment of every critical aspect of drum design and production, all came together to bring about a profound evolution in the form of the hybrid shell: the key to delivering unprecedented tone and power. The lugs took another evolutionary leap too. Going beyond the concept of minimizing shell damping, lug design and mounting now plays an active role in creating and controlling the sound of the drums by suppressing unwanted harmonics. Tom mounting has advanced as well, resulting in unprecedented tone and consistent playability.
The YESS2 mount and new hook lugs developed for the PHX series have now been implemented in the Absolute series as well, contributing to even clearer, richer sound. A newly developed textured finish has been applied in the Rock Tour series, significantly enhancing visual impact. Kapur was discovered and used for its excellent tonal qualities in the PHX series drums and is now used as the sole tone wood for the sound of the Club Custom drums.

Comments about Yamaha stage_custom_cranberry_red:
I've owned a lot of kits including the original Yamaha Maple Customs which are fantastic drums. I purchased this kit as a gigging set to protect my other drums. These drums are excellent by any standard. The 20" bass is punchy with a big sound and the toms are very responsive. The 8 lug snare really opened up with a Remo Diplomat that increased the tuning range. I generally play jazz and funk with some rock. The finish quality is superb (smooth as glass) and the nodal mounts for the floor tom legs and toms are really the same as my old absolutes and allow the shells to sing. Highly recommended.

Comments about Yamaha stage_custom_cranberry_red:
My High School Owns one of these and it sounds amazing. It is extremely versatile and sounds good whether you are playing bebop style jazz or hard rock. I especially like the convenience of the tom ball mounts which makes it extremely easy to adjust where I want to position the toms. In a blindfold test between this kit and a Ludwig Classic Maple, you would think that they were the same price even though the Ludwig is a bit more expensive. 10/10 Would definitely recommend to any level player from Beginner to Experienced.

When I was looking for a kit, I was dead set on a maple kit. After talking to my drum teacher who has three Yamaha kits, he sugested the Yamaha stage custom birch. I was worried that this wasent going to be a good sounding rock kit. After putting Remo pin strips on all the toms it totally RAWKS \m/ With the money I saved by purchasing this kit I able to afford top quaility cymbals!

BONIFAY — Meredith TerHaar, television news reporter and co-anchor, was the guest speaker at Bonifay Kiwanis Club's Oct. 30 meeting.
"I work at WJHG News Channel 7 in Panama City Beach and I joined the station four years ago," said TerHaar. "It's been a wonderful and exciting journey to be honest. It's been very different from where I'm from, which is west Michigan."
She said the culture and the weather is very different in Florida than in Michigan.
"Oh my goodness, what a delight, we love the weather here — especially the fact that it's not snowing six months out of the year," she said. "I worked with an ABC affiliate in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for six years and commuted 25 miles both ways, which was fine in the summer time, not so fine in the blizzards and wintry like conditions. So being here, where we basically say it's summer year-round. We absolutely love it."
She said being a co-anchor and a reporter is her "dream job."
"It is such a delight to see such a wonderful mix of folks here in the terms of older and younger, professional and retired," said TerHaar. "This is such an impressive group and I asked Joe Moore before I left if he had ever spoken to the Kiwanis Club in Bonifay and he said no, that he hadn't, but he said that he could say that they were a very involved and active group and went on to list many things, specifically the rodeo. I want to make sure that I thank all of you for what you do in this community because it is vital."
She explained that she is in the area often to feature outstanding teachers with the Golden Apple Award.
"I've been in this area multiple times," she said. "Each week I feature very deserving teachers in something called the Golden Apple Award and so we have our viewers write in and tell us why they think their teacher is deserving. We'll have parents write in and we'll have students write in and I'm hoping your thinking of a deserving teacher right now that you could write in and nominate a teacher that you think is deserving of the Golden Apple."
She explained that she shoots, writes and edits all her stories.
"That means after I co-anchor with Donna for two hours I run to the equipment room, grab my camera, grab my microphone, grab my tripod and hit the road," she said. "So it is a great opportunity for us to see how all the schools are doing in the area."
She said television stations are always changing and one of the biggest changes recently is incorporating viewer interaction through social media.
"Something we are attempting to do more and more is incorporate social media and reaching out to our viewers through Facebook and Twitter and having them reach out to me via Facebook and Twitter," said TerHaar. "We're trying to build up viewer interaction. I can't tell you how important phone calls to the station are, emails to the station are, Facebook messages, Twitter messages telling us about tips, story ideas and what is going on in your community."
"There's an awful a lot of things that happen in our communities that we don't hear over a police scanner and having individuals like you, who are well connected in the community, call us and let us know what is going on means so much to us," TerHaar said.

We've all heard the arguments from Big Oil and King Coal: "Without coal and oil, energy and gas prices would go through the roof;" or "We have to use domestic coal and oil reserves to ensure our energy security;" and "Renewables can't do the job, so we have to keep using fossil fuels."That's the Dirty Lie: The idea, heavily promoted by coal and oil industry lobbyists and their friends in Congress, that there is no remedy for our addiction to fossil fuels. But the truth is that with today's technology, we can continue to grow our economy while phasing out fossil fuels altogether.
Our Energy [R]evolution report lays out a roadmap for achieving a clean energy economy. It also shows that we could create over a million American jobs in the renewable energy sector alone by 2030.So if we have the means for kicking our dirty energy habit and moving to clean, green energy, and most Americans are more than supportive, why isn't it happening? The reason is simple: Big industry has an incredible amount of influence over our energy policy, thanks to decades of campaign contributions to the politicians who make the rules. These companies and politicians defend their planet-killing actions by saying that we need coal and oil. It's time to call out the Dirty Lie, and break their stranglehold. That's where you come in. We need help watchdogging the politicians and talking heads who take money from the fossil fuels industry and then push the Dirty Lie on the American public. Whenever you catch the Dirty Lie being promoted without challenge, or find a case where someone is regurgitating fossil fuels lobbyist talking points as if they were fact, let us know. In turn, we'll let you know when and where to help set the record straight.There are a variety of ways you can plug in to our work to call out the Dirty Lie:
3 Ways to expose the Dirty Lie
FacebookIf you have a Facebook account you can immediately mobilize your friends to expose the dirty lie. When you find an article that repeats the lie, post it to your Facebook with a status message that says something like:"This article claims that we can't live without fossil fuels. That is a dirty lie! Please go to the article and leave a comment saying so."TwitterIf you spot the Dirty Lie in the media and want to report it via Twitter, just use the hashtag #dirtylie and make sure you link to the news piece in question. We'll be searching for this hashtag regularly, so we'll be sure to find it. You can regularly search for tweets with this hashtag as well, we'll use it to let you know how you can help call out the worst offenders.DeliciousDelicious is a Social Bookmarking service that allows you to bookmark and save web pages online, share them with other people, and see what other people are bookmarking. It's perfect for the work before us of calling out the Dirty Lie! Delicious also allows you to tag your bookmarks with a keyword. That makes it a great tool for collaboration because we can easily look up all web pages tagged with the key word "DirtyLie." Here's how to help:1) If you're new to Delicious, the first thing you need to do is create an account. Go to https://secure.delicious.com/login and follow the instructions. If you have a yahoo account you can use that to quickly create one. If not you'll need to create one of those too.2) Add a bookmarklet button to your browser's bookmark bar. This way you'll be able to bookmark and tag articles anywhere on the web with just a click. Go to http://delicious.com/help/bookmarklets and follow the instructions for your web browser. 3) Now it's time to start exposing the Dirty Lie by bookmarking and tagging articles. When you read articles that repeat junk science like "We'll never have enough renewable energy to replace oil," click your "Bookmark on Delicious" bookmarklet button you added to your browser. A pop-up window will appear. Add the tag "dirtylie" (important: keep "dirtylie" as one word) and any other tags or info you think is appropriate and click save.4) Find other articles tagged with "dirtylie" at http://delicious.com/tag/dirtylie. You can read and comment on these articles and find other Delicious users that are exposing the Dirty Lie.
Greenpeace staff and volunteers will be keeping an eye on all of these social networks for the instances of the Dirty Lie you report. We'll prioritize the worst offenders and let you know how you can help set the record straight.Of course, you can also stay tuned right here on this blog to find out when and where you can help push back on the Dirty Lie. Stay tuned.

The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell to 5.66 percent last week as the Federal Reserve signaled it isn't likely soon to raise its benchmark lending target, Freddie Mac said. Other rates also declined.
The 30-year rate for the week ending Friday compares with 5.72 percent the previous week and is down from 5.86 percent a year ago, according to the No. 2 purchaser of U.S. mortgages. Mortgage rates move with yields on government securities such as the 10-year Treasury note, for which yields have fallen on signs that inflation will remain low.

The first ever co-operative tea factory to be established in South Rift has started operation. The factory, which will use Tilya logo at the Mombasa auction is owned by Mau Tea Multipurpose Co-operative Society Ltd.
The Sh205 million factory was established late last year. Members contributed Sh63,111,064.43 while the Co-operative Bank gave the cooperative a loan of Sh142 million.
The factory which was formerly owned by former nominated MP Mark Too under the name of Mau Tea Company started processing tea in December 1 last year at time when weather was unfavorable for the cash crop. However with the drought taking a toll order on the crop,the factory managed to process some 300,000kgs of green leaf below its 1,950,000 kgs monthly capacity.
In an effort to reach the monthly processing capacity,the Co-operative Society has recruited some of its 174 out growers members who are expected to be supplying 1,260,000kgs of green leaf per month.
Two former seniour civil servants Ambassador Jushua Terer and former Lands permanent Secretary Joseah Sang are chairman and secretary respectively of the Society which boosts of 48,000 membership drawn from eight constituencies of Kipkelion,Ainamoi,Belgut,Buret,Konoin,Sotik,Chepalungu,Bomet and Kuresoi.

A Harlot's Progress is a seminal work in Hogarth's development. It marks his engagement in a new genre, narrative comic history-painting, or "modern moral subjects", as he describes them in his Autobiographical Notes, through which he established comedy and satire in art as respectable categories worthy of serious attention. It was in 1730 when, according to the eighteenth-century diarist of artists' lives, George Vertue, Hogarth stumbled, almost by accident, on this genre. He had been painting a whore and her servant in her garret in Drury Lane, when he hit upon the idea of tracing her previous and subsequent histories. The six paintings of A Harlot's Progress, including likenesses of well-known contemporary p…

5 of America's Best Antique Fairs and Flea Markets
By Kristan Schiller
Sparked in no small way by TV series that traffic in deals, steals and duds, many Americans spend their weekends combing antique show aisles for vintage treasures to carry home in their Tahoes. (The power liftgate*, second-row power-release fold-and-tumble seats and 108.9 cu. ft.* of cargo space practically scream furniture foraging!) The country is peppered with fairs and flea markets overflowing with valuable and not-so-valuable options. Surely you can find your next living room layout or dinner party accessory—it's all about knowing where to look. From East Coast to West, here are five of the best to get you started.
Brimfield Antique Show
Brimfield, MA
An exhibition of more than 6,000 dealers along a one-mile stretch of Route 20 in Brimfield, MA, this show is one of the world's largest. (It's been held in this quintessentially New England town three times a year—May, July and September—since 1959.) Here, you'll find everything from Bakelite bracelets from the 1960s to estate silver to authentic (and pricey) Victorian furniture.
Shipshewana Auction & Flea Market
Shipshewana, IN
At the Midwest's largest flea market, held from May through October, you can purchase Amish quilts, vintage eyeglasses and even fresh fruit. A 100-acre tent with 900 vendors, the market also draws a crowd for its livestock auction. At the Antique Barn, up to ten rings of antiques are auctioned simultaneously every Wednesday, year-round. Consult the market's online schedule to see what's being offered in which barn and when.
Round Top Antiques Fair
Round Top, TX
This mammoth-sized spring and fall antique fair for both serious collectors and novices has been held every six months for the past 43 years in Round Top, Texas. It boasts five major venues—The Marburger Farm Antiques Show, The Big Red Barn, The Big Red Barn Tent, The Continental Tent and Carmine Dance Hall—where you'll likely find European formal furniture alongside eclectic items from the Lone Star state. In recent years, the fair has spurred a lengthier event called Round Top Antiques Week. The best way to navigate this massive event is by picking up a listings flyer called the Show Daily when you arrive.
Alameda Point Antiques Faire
Alameda, CA
This massive 800-dealer show is held on California's decommissioned Alameda Point Naval base the first Sunday of every month. With spectacular views of San Francisco, it's known for vintage textiles and prints as well as its unique assortment of Art Deco furniture. Clothes hounds will be happy to discover a clique of excellent vintage apparel dealers here who travel the world for their finds.
Brooklyn Flea
Brooklyn, NY
It's considered a true New York Experience: On weekends from April through Thanksgiving, more than 200 vendors sell antiques ranging from vinyl records to vintage clothing and jewelry. On Saturdays the market takes place in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn and on Sundays it's held in nearby Williamsburg. Brooklyn Flea also operates two delectable specialty food markets in Williamsburg and Dumbo—called Smorgasburg—with about 100 local food vendors. This isn't only a warm-weather market: From Thanksgiving through March, Brooklyn Flea is held indoors in the former Williamsburg Savings Bank building, a stunning Art Deco space at Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues.

Small mods i can do on a budget
what are some sort of cheap an easy mods to do to a focus to get sum hp an trq? 130 is not enough.. i hav short ram AEM intake,, cut off resinator an muffler put in 2 1/4 pipe from flex back to 4" muffler.
Best way to get HP out of a Zetec is to swap over SVT parts. The stock SVT airbox and snorkel is bigger and provides better gains than your AEM.
That is the only cheap HP mod you can do.
The best one would be the SVT header conversion for about $450 for around a 30+hp gain.

Ledoux and Hampton both named Honorable Mention All-Americans
Dec. 14, 2011
Long Beach, Calif. - Senior outside hitter Caitlin Ledoux and sophomore middle blocker Haleigh Hampton were both named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association Honorable Mention All-America team as announced today.
Ledoux was selected as an All-American for the third time, becoming the eighth 49er so recognized. Ledoux led the 49ers in 2011 with 3.61 kills per set, and had 211 digs while playing all six rotations for the 49ers, and was selected despite missing six matches due to injury. She was one of just three 49ers to finish her career with over 1,500 kills and 1,000 digs.
Hampton had a breakout season with the 49ers as a sophomore. Leading the 49ers with 330 kills on .336 hitting, the middle blocker will again finish in the top five nationally in blocking after coming in third as a freshman. Hampton currently ranks third nationally with 1.61 blocks per set, and led the nation with 39 solo blocks, helping the 49ers rank second nationally in blocking as a team. The sophomore led the Big West in blocking and finished fifth in hitting percentage.
Hampton and Ledoux become the first pair of 49ers to earn All-America honors in the same season since Ledoux and Naomi Washington were both honored following the 2009 campaign.

When Did Book Art Become So Surreal?
September 23, 2012 | 9:31 pm
By Dan Eldridge
Is it just me, or has book art gotten much, much more intricate and surreal than it was, say, a decade ago? Some of this stuff is just beyond belief. If I was independently wealthy and wanted to start an art collection, there are some of the pieces I'd love to pick up:
Names of artists | Clockwise, starting from upper-left:
Kaspen | Robert The | Lucy Norman | Brian Dettmer | Georgia Russell | Nicholas Galanin

I actually cringe at the thought of distroying any book for "art". I don't think I could ever not feel uneasy with something like this in my livingroom, though I like the old man in the jar, in the hopes that that book was left intact and wool used for his beard and hair.

Yesterday I was walking towards my 2nd period when one of my friends, comes up to me and she states, "omg evelyn you have to read this book!" I look at the title & i say "wow, It looks super interesting."
I wasn't wrong one bit. The first page talked about how a guy should never tell a girl I'm going to call you and they never do. It gives both perspectives on what the girl should do or say as well as the guy on different troubled confusing scenarios in everyday life.
It's not even boring either. It's short, straight forward and it says nothing BUT the truth. Josefa Salinas is the author of the book, who has also worked on the radio for 17 years. She has combined everything she has listened to from people complaining about their problems into one book.
This is just a brief description of what you can expect out of the book.
" For the men who don't understand why they strike out with women, and for the women who give away their power to these men, Josefa Salinas sets the record straight. She brilliantly enumerates relationship guidelines for each gender, with opportunity to inscribe your journey. Learning ONLY these '101 Things to Know Before you date….' Will provide you with 101 opportunities for richer relationships!"
Give this a try! I recommend it
