It's nice to see someone turn their passion into a paying gig. Well deserved.
Tremendous is a great site that has provided us with great information, and it was likely only a matter of time before they moved up in the world. Like others, I would read the site often, so that does create a space where I may have to face my fears and do some actual work.
Excellent opportunity, I would imagine, and congratulations to him.
Edit: Nevermind, saw a bunch of tweets about it.
I didn't want to be that asshole and post a thread asking why they weren't updating the site. Timing sucks, this close to signing day and all, but good for them.
Wish Brian had hired him
I mean, it's great for him. He certainly deserves it. I'm going to miss visiting his site though.
So, MGoBlog sends TomVH to ESPN, Tim to Rivals, and Tremendous (I don't think he'd have had as much success with his site without MGoBlog) to 247. It seems to me that Ace may be on his way to Scout sometime soon.
Yeah, Ace could eventually become Scout's version of Sam Webb.
Isn't Sam Webb Scout's version of Sam Webb?
Poor Ace would have to work for Tom Beaver.
I think Brian said that Scout is trying to phase out Tom Beaver, which would be a step in a positive direction for them...
So what happens to Mgobluegr now? He was good at contacting recruits and writing up interviews
Thanks for the kind words, I will also be moving over to 247 sports with Steve as well. As some of you may remember, I started writing about recruiting here and there is no way I would be where I am today without this amazing site.
I don't need to keep that a secret anymore. Hey guys, tremendous to 247
So are you saying he was a silent commit to 247 and we knew nothing about it? Dammit man. We need a meta-recruiting site, which will track the recruiting of the various recruiting services.
Wait until Urban gets a hold of him. He'll flip to OSU's 247 site before NSD.
Urban had already offered him...and he wanted to commit to tOSU's 247 site...but the offer was non-commitable.
Ask any tOSU 247 reader.
NOT MAGNUS?!?!? I, for one, am shocked SHOCKED at their oversight.
Obsessed much?
Three of your last four comments on MGoBlog have been about me, and they've all been unprompted.
Have been about his dudeness
Damn Magnus, you even put down the people that worship you. That's probably why I've always pictured you having the grumpy cat face.
I don't know anyone who worships me, and I'm not sure what you're referencing when you say I "put them down."
Just trying to give voice to the voiceless here. You hammer some high school kids' ability to play football under the assumption that you are in some way an "expert of analysis" and you aren't. That much is clear.
I am just trying to let those who look over MGoBlog (quite a few people) that you are in no way an expert of anything. You know, since you don't let that be known to them.
If I had a mechanic look over my car I would assume he is in some way qualified to tell me that it is a piece of shit. You do so without letting your customer know and under the assumption that you are and I find that to be a slimy thing to do.
I have never claimed to be an expert, and I never will.
That's really all I have to say. There's no point in getting into an argument with you.
I am not arguing with you. I am calling your on the side, part time hobby of ripping high school kids a disgrace. You can voice your opinion, but I will just be there to say that it is truly baseless and that it holds no water because your opinion on recruit analysis is literally as valuable as a Jersey toll booth operators opinion about ACL reconstruction.
So if a kid comes on here and finds out that the MGoBlog community thinks he is a lesser recruit because one time Magnus claimed he didnt have good knee bend I will be there to pat him on the back and say "It's ok, guy. That Magnus doesn't know shit. No literally. He has no fucking clue what he is saying about analysis. He isn't even paid! I know right? He rips high school kids like you - who work really hard ot get betterevery day - based on no knowledge whatsoever in his spare time!! It is crazy. I know. Yea he has to be fat. I know."
Praise is the only thing a lot of these guys ever hear, so what's it matter that Magnus gives them a little criticism? On TTB he states that he's a high school coach, emphasizing on LB's and DL, which doesn't mean he's an expert, but he probably has a more technical understanding than a lot of us do.
I for one, appreciate his views on a lot of players. My only complaint is, I wish he posted more content, but it's his hobby/side job so I understand. The way he conducts himself reminds me a lot of my old DL coach in high school, who would tell you how it is.
P.S. - Coach Coombs, is that you?
I'm unfortunately very late to the game but that's enough, Dude. Stop the personal attacks. Its my one true hot-button issue and I'll dock you all the points if you insist on hammering away at Magnus, a well-respected contributor of actual content to the site.
I smell an MGoThrowdown brewin'
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
Pure speculation on my part re: why Tremendous was hired/mysteriously disappeared from MGoBlog, but philosophically I don't think he meshed. He's very good at making direct contact with recruits and gaining their trust and writing up interviews but the blog seems to take a more wholistic view of the recruiting process. As such we've seen less interviews with potential recruits from Ace lately. Just a thought.
However props to this guy, he really climbed the ladder from nowhere.
I don't think it's fair to compare Ace with Tremendous
Ace is more of an information gatherer than what Tremendous did.
Tremendous did interviews and direct contact. For the most part, Ace takes information from elsewhere and relays it to us.
Wow, this sucks. That was my second favorite Michigan site behind mgoblog. I'm dissappointed but they deserve it and 247 will be a lot better because of these guys.
Everyone should take this as a reminder to click on a few ads here on MgoBlog. The ad click revenue is how Brian is able to make a few bucks and keep this site free!
I guess I need to get twitter and harass 17 and 18 year olds to get a new job
I hope he finishes the top 10 for 2014, but at least now we know why the site was not updating.
Thanks guys. This would have never happened if Brian hadn't interviewed me for the job that Ace deservedly got. It was the motivation I needed.
I've enjoyed the content on your site.
Good luck with this new job.
Whelp, you bettering yourself just ruined my day. Think about that.
So did you work on Tremendous as your full-time job or did you just do it on the side while working somewhere else? Or did you not have a job and basically just created one for yourself out of thing air? Curious. Either way, very impressive, but if it's the latter I'm really impressed.
Congratulations on the new job!
Shut up hater
Then goes trolling on other sites for info and ideas to put on his blog
Where are you going with this?
Yeah, what??
Steve.. You were my go to free resource man. Sadly the competition snatched you up. I understand the decision but will miss the creativity and latitude you gave recruits. Breaking down their own film for you etc. Sad day for me man.
To repeat what seems is the general consensus, Am happy for you, but sad for the rest of us. Good Luck and Fair Winds.
We will always have RollDamnTide.

Dana Milbank: Tea party's trouble with capital T
Conservative leaders and GOP politicians have, in their rage against Obama, invited epithets of the fringe into the mainstream.
The peaceful hamlet of Mason City, Iowa, hasn't been in the headlines much since it served as the model for River City in Meredith Wilson's "The Music Man."
Recently, however, Mason City raised a real fuhrer.
The geniuses of the North Iowa Tea Party put up a billboard in town that showed photos of three leaders: Adolf Hitler (with swastika), Vladimir Lenin (with hammer and sickle) and Barack Obama (with 2008 campaign logo).
Over Hitler were the words "National Socialism," over Lenin was "Marxist Socialism" and over Obama was "Democrat Socialism."
"Radical leaders prey on the fearful & naive," the billboard told passing motorists.
Folks, we've got trouble in River City.
The tea partiers took the billboard down -- to hush the national uproar, not because they thought they had done something wrong. "There's going to be a lot of billboards just like this across the United States," a co-founder of the group told The Des Moines Register.
He's probably right. The vile sign in Mason City was not a one-off by a fringe group. It was a logical expression of a message supported by conservative thought leaders and propagated by high-level Republican politicians.
Late last month, Thomas Sowell of the conservative Hoover Institution penned an irresponsible column likening Obama's presidency (particularly his pushing BP to set aside funds for oil-spill victims) to the rise of Hitler in Germany and Lenin in the Soviet Union.
After the column came out, Sarah Palin tweeted her followers with instruction to "Read Thomas Sowell's article" about the Obama-Hitler nexus.
Sowell's theme -- that Obama, like Hitler and Lenin, exploits "useful idiots" who don't know much about politics -- was strikingly similar to what wound up on the Mason City billboard.
Sowell to Palin to Mason City: They spread Nazi labels as smoothly as Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance turned double plays. And let's not deny an assist to Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, who went to the House floor to read aloud the Obama-Nazi comparison by the "brilliant" Sowell.
Twenty years ago, the dawn of the Internet Age gave us Godwin's Law:
If an online argument goes on long enough, somebody will eventually invoke Hitler. When this happens, it's basically the end of the conversation, because all rational discussion ceases when one side calls the other Nazis.
These sentiments have long existed on the fringe and always will. The problem is that conservative leaders and Republican politicians have, in their blind rage against Obama, invited the epithets of the fringe into the mainstream. Godwin's Law has moved from the chat rooms to cable news to the floor of the U.S. House.
Consider these tallies from Glenn Beck's show on Fox News over the last 18 months: 202 mentions of Nazis or Nazism, according to transcripts, 147 mentions of Hitler, 193 mentions of fascism or fascist, and another 24 bonus mentions of Joseph Goebbels.
Most of these were directed in some form at Obama -- as were the majority of the 802 mentions of socialist or socialism on Beck's nightly "report."
It's not strictly a product of the right. California Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown likened his opponent's tactics to those of the Nazis, while Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., talks blithely of a health care "holocaust," and an aide to Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., dubs the opposition "Brownshirts."
But now, the anger pendulum has swung far to the right, and accusations that once were beyond the pale -- intimations of tyranny, revolution and bloodshed -- are now routine.
A few from recent weeks: Sen. David Vitter, R-La., comes out in favor of lawsuits alleging that Obama was not an American citizen at birth.
Sharron Angle, the Republican who is challenging Sen. Harry Reid in Nevada, talks of the possible need for violence to overcome the "tyrannical" government. Gohmert, the Sowell admirer, says the children of illegal immigrants are going to return and "blow us up."
Isn't there a grown-up to rein in these backbenchers when they go over the top? Don't ask House Minority Leader John Boehner, the man who would replace Nancy Pelosi as speaker. He accuses Democrats of "snuffing out the America that I grew up in" and predicts rebellion unlike anything "since 1776."
Boehner also said one Democratic lawmaker "may be a dead man" for his vote on health care and predicted that the bill would bring "armageddon."
Recall, Mr. Leader, the wisdom of the Mason City billboard: "Radical leaders prey on the fearful & naive."

Hey, Mike,
I just checked the "refurbished version" and obviously it sounds better now.
I guess you might still think of them what you do, but that is the whole point not to address them publicly, I guess it is better for you and for them.
Still it must be hard to be in the "public eye" as someone will always find some reason to bash you for your opinion.
It is probably the best to ignore the hard opinions from some people just don't forget that most of us who are here and keep quiet actually really appreciate your work (and obviously other guys who keep this site alive
), and that's why we are here.
As for the Inquirer, they might not have good info all the time, and we should take everything with a grain of salt, but that is what they are. The rumor site No 1. at least for me, and I read it as it is interesting more times than not.
and just to discuss the 3.2 ghz PIV.
In fact, the roadmaps only show Intel able to reach something like 3.20GHz on Pentium 4s, and AMD might well have an additional lease of life in the constantly changing Megahurts Madness both firms play.
One problem, according to sources close to the matter, is that when the internal chip frequency hits 6GHz, as it does with the 3.06GHz because the adders are double clocked to get the work done in a single pipeline cycle, Intel will have to eventually re-engineer the design of the P4 to keep it viable. But such a task is of such magnitude that to achieve the frequencies the firm is projecting in 2005 or so, it is probably more realistic to start another design rather than re-engineer all the innards of the processor.
The same roadmaps show Intel has to swap to a 90 nanometer process for the Pentium 4 to achieve higher clock speeds. While some people are speculating that Intel may demo machines clocking at significantly higher frequencies at the Intel Developer Forum in San Jose this week, the new chemistry AMD is producing could give Chipzilla some real headaches.
I guess the guy is not claiming that they will not go higher, but that Intel will stop at 3.2 for the time being according to the roadmaps he has seen... and that speed will ramp up with Intels .09 Um process, which is due second half of the next year. And than/ or in the meantime the processor will be at least modified or reingineered.
You should regard this as rumor - and as such I got it presented, I may come true and it may not, perhaps to whomever the Inquirer spoke to has some clues that we don't and that is why I read them anyway. As for current P4's to be overclockable, some Japanese guys took it over 4 ghz with extreme cooling sooo... it can surely go higher, but we still have to see how high will Intel take it in its current incarnation.
The only official info we have (i guess it is official, perhaps semi-official, offical announcement will be the release of a few weeks before, at least most of sites reports the same) is a Hyperthreaded 3.06 Ghz cpu before Christmas this year, and noone is denying that.
So the point is that this is not offical, far from it, but it is still interesting to read as we all (i guess
) like speculation.

I didn't read the entire thread, just quickly skimmed the past few pages, so apologies if this is known.
I had the same issue as the folks in this thread, with only about 10% of my artists appearing in the music section.
Looking at the scanner log, it appeared that the scanner was bombing out when it would hit a directory that contained a filename with a unicode character, so it's not that 90% of my collection had unicode file names, but rather that the scanner would give up at the point it was at when it hit that file and not scan anything else in the collection. I can get it to carry on by renaming the files to not have unicode characters, but obviously this isn't ideal.
Sorry for the late reply!

Size is ALL Wrong
from Annandale, VA
on 4/3/2014
There was no size chart on the site so I went ahead with the size 30 thinking that was a waist size -- not so. I am size 6 in pants, medium tops and this suit was sized for a child. I returned it immediately.

Very nice suit

Suit fits great. No binding when working out in pool.
Cute, but . . .
from Key West, FL
on 5/20/2011
I actually really like this suit, but . . . 1) it runs a bit "small" than true to size, especially b/c it is a little more "revealing" than the average two-piece lap suit; and 2) the lining is a little bit "bunchy" -- not as smooth and sleek as I like it. All that being said, I like the way this suit LOOKS -- less coverage and cool fit on top, but still stays put during a good swim workout. Would great GREAT for beach sports -- volleyball, paddleboard. May not be good for surfing, however, despite draw string in bottoms.
love it

well fitting, good looking, durable workout bikini.This is my favorite all purpose two-piece yet
from Boca Raton

Such a cute suit. I'm an 8 with a med. to lg. chest and the 34 is snug up top. I kept it though, i wasn't sure how much better it would get.
Good fit and quality for smaller chests
from Downtown Los Angeles
on 10/16/2009
This swimsuit fits well and is very supportive, but you have to have a smaller chest because it's low cut and more revealing than other sports swimsuits.

It was hard to find a size and the cup size doesn't get much bigger with an increase in size, but the straps do. Overall it seems to workout well, but if you are busty at all, I would consider a different one. I have to exchange it once.
illulsions swimsuit
Anna N.
from San Ramon, CA
on 7/4/2009
the bathing suit shape is perfect for lifeguarding the waistline isnt too high which is great and the top is nice and good. however my bottoms string did begin to rip after only 2 weeks of wearing the suit. over all though i really like the shape
I love it.
Lap swimmer
from Oregon
on 4/24/2009
I love this swim suit. Believe me, I have tried a lot of suits and they never last long. This one doesn't fade and doesn't stretch out. I do a lot of lap swimming and because it stays in place, I don't have to wear a one piece.

Perhaps less "all-black" looking. All black MP40's were used by Waffen SS and Gestapo police and not by standard infantry sections. It was something about they looked more professional or some ****. The clip, barrel and lower frame should be a metallic grey.

The Magazine
Feb 16, 1998, Vol. 3, No. 22 • By DAVID FRUM
Ninety years ago, Max Beerbohm drew a series of cartoons titled "The Young Self Meets the Old Self" about the strange twists in the lives of the famous and near-famous of his day. Max, we miss you now! A generation of young liberals who were jolted into political activism by presidential lying are now excusing presidential lying. Passionate young reformers who once despised Richard Nixon for his stonewalling and obstruction of justice now chuckle at the success of Bill Clinton's stonewalling and obstruction of justice. Militant feminists who once raged at lecherous middle-aged men who treated the young women in their employ as walking sex toys now rally to defend a middle-aged man who treats young women in his employ as walking sex toys. Thirty years ago, earnest psychologists would appear on television to explain that the baby boomers wore denim because it was dyed blue, and blue symbolized honesty. Today, the first baby boomer president bids fair to be the most shameless liar ever to hold the office.
This is a moment of testing for the once-earnest, once-young liberals who came of age politically between 1968 and 1974. Until now, the members of that political cohort have championed the Clintons and condoned their ethical lapses. Faced suddenly with the most indisputable evidence to date of presidential lawbreaking, these supporters of the president must decide what to do. Thus far, an amazing number of them have decided to shut their eyes and hush their qualms.
If the Clinton apologists were motivated by cynical political calculation, one at least could make some kind of sense of it. And some of them undoubtedly have entered into a conscious Faustian bargain, accepting the Clintons' dubious behavior as the necessary price of liberalism's political success. Since 1960, the Democratic party has nominated five upright men for president -- Humphrey, McGovern, Carter, Mondale, and Dukakis -- and three scoundrels -- Kennedy, Johnson, and Clinton. From an electoral point of view, the conclusion seems obvious: As the weaker of the two political parties, the Democrats cannot afford to be over-scrupulous about their political morality.
Still, this depth of cynicism is rarer than one supposes, even in Washington. Existential characters in old-fashioned novels can knowingly do evil in order that good may come of it, but few of us are existential characters in old-fashioned novels. Instead, the Clintons' defenders in the political world are splitting up into three broad groups, each formed around a different excuse or justification. The first group are the gullible. If Bill Clinton says something, it's good enough for them: They fervently believe there must be some perfectly innocent explanation for all those midnight telephone calls and secret office visits. It goes without saying that this group is not very large. The second are the shell-shocked. They don't know what to think, other than to hope that the case will remain murky enough to permit them to go on more or less believing in the president without looking or sounding either stupid or amoral. This is, for the moment, probably the largest group. And then there is the third group -- still small, but growing fast. It's the group that is actually willing to excuse presidential lying.
Writer Wendy Kaminer offered a fascinating version of this line of defense on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" last week. "Why should we hold the president to standards few of us meet consistently?" she asked. "I'm not saying that the president's lies and infidelity don't matter. They must matter a lot to Hillary and Chelsea Clinton. But why should they matter to voters?" In Slate magazine, former Dukakis campaign manager Susan Estrich makes a similar point: "Should allegedly finding comfort, release, satisfaction, peace in the arms of a beautiful 21-year-old count for more than balancing the budget?" Hendrik Hertzberg, senior editor of the New Yorker, urges us to distinguish like grown-ups between "pernicious falsehoods aimed at covering up crimes against humanity and, say, feeble fibs aimed at wiggling out of some horribly embarrassing but essentially victimless and legal piece of human stupidity."

"As a Justice Department lawyer in the early 1980s, John G.

If Abramoff (and therefore DeLay) garners this much attention for a completely unrelated case to the one being investigated in Washington, just imagine the tenor of the coverage when/if that grand jury makes its intentions known.

As the negotiations warmed up, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's office -- he was the House minority whip then -- gave Boulis a flag that had flown over the Capitol. And as the SunCruz deal was closing, Abramoff brought his lead financier to a DeLay fundraiser in the lobbyist's box at FedEx Field during a Monday Night Football game between the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys."

Later today the Center for American Progress will fill the void left by the late Notice that the grand jury looking into the leak investigation will not meet today and launch a website detailing the connections of twenty-one Bush folks to the leak investigation. The hyper-organized Center says it will update the site regularly to reflect new developments in the case. LINK

moreA refutation of the conventional view that after the adoption of Christianity by the Roman empire the local community lost its voice in the appointment of bishops. Peter Norton argues that this right remained for longer than is normally assumed, with important consequences for our understanding of the administration of the later empire. - ;Peter Norton covers a topic of great relevance to students of early Church history and late antiquity alike. He challenges the conventional view that after the adoption of Christianity by the Roman empire the local community lost its voice in the appointment of bishops, and argues that this right remained in theory and practice for longer than is normally assumed. Given that bishops became important to the running of the empire at the local level, a proper understanding of how they
came into office is essential for our understanding of the later empire. - ;[an] important volume...Norton's fine study provides a welcome addition to scholarship while also pointing toward further fruitful avenues of investigation...Norton has provided the best overview of the topic available, and his book will serve as a point reference for all subsequent investigations of episcopal elections in late antiquity. - S.W.J Keough Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses;lucidly written and cogently argued - Adam A.J.

COLUMBIA CITY — The Columbia City Common Council approved an ordinance amending Chapter 99 of the Tree Plan.
"There was a letter from the Tree Board that came last meeting, and it had some changes in there," said Mayor Ryan Daniel.
"They were mainly administrative changes in regards as to who is holding the tree plan and who is basically the individual in charge of the trees."
The amendment called for the person authorized to exercise powers to read "Tree Board President" instead of "Director of Community Development."
According to the amended ordinance in its entirety, no one is allowed to plant, transplant or remove any tree located on public land except on a location where it will be in confirmation with the Tree Plan.
Also, a landowner or private contractor who plants, removes or prunes any tree in or on public land must give notice of the activity to the Street Tree Director.
Applications to obtain yearly permits to feed, fertilize, trim or protect trees on public property must be obtained from the Clerk Treasurer.
The motion was made to approve on second reading.

We love it with...
Kajal Eye Glider & Sharpener is rated out of 5 by 38.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SavvyBeauty1 from Great duo! I love this liner! It glides on easily and the brown is a perfect neutral brown. I always have trouble with brown liners that make my eyes look irritated. The texture of the liner is creamy and smudges out nicely. I do set all my cream products due to my oily skin so I can say when set with an eyeshadow, this liner stays put. I reach for this liner every day above all my others. I normally do not like to sharpen pencils as I always ruin them but this one sharpens perfectly! Very pleased with this product!
Date published: 2014-01-22
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kapow55 from Finally Found It! I've been looking for an eye pencil like this for years! After countless eyeliners trying to replace an eye pencil I bought at a boutique years ago, I've finally found it. This pencil glides on and stays on! I use it on my upper & lower waterline...it stays put! No pulling, no tugging...absolutely perfect!!!
Date published: 2014-03-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sassafrass from Best Liner Yet! when i got this set in my monthly Maven box i was skeptical. i have very dark features and when wearing black eye liner i look like some moody teenager. not to mention when it starts to seep down my face, ruining my look. this liner stays put! i put it on my water line for definition and it doesnt wash away! to add to this amazing duo, this sharpener is the best i have ever had! it sharpens perfectly with minimal waste. my old sharpeners always chipped away at the wood leaving jagged edges but not this one! i would recomend this to anyone! im even thinking of getting it for my mom!
Date published: 2014-01-23
Rated 4 out of 5 by AmandaR from Convenient! I got this as a freebie when I joined and I love it! So nice to have both brown and black in the same pencil. Goes on smoothly and stays put. Not much more you can ask for from an eye liner!
Date published: 2014-04-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rebecca23 from Simply the Best! Got this in my Maven box a while back and fell in love with it with the first use. It goes on smooth, stays on longer than many other eyeliners I've used, and just plain looks amazing.

Easy trick to handle condiment calories
It seems like a lot of condiments have serving sizes of two tablespoons--salsa, peanut butter, sour cream, etc. I was making an egg burrito a while ago and put sour cream and salsa in it. I didn't realize until afterward, but I had accidentally measured with the 1/2 tablespoon, so I was actually only eating 1 tablespoon total of each. Since then, I always do this, and I almost always have enough of the condiment. It helps me save on fat and calories, but still get the flavor. Try it out!

Corners Mansion Inn in Vicksburg was the scene of a paranormal investigation.
- Filed Under
It happened exactly at midnight in Room 6 of the Corners Mansion Inn, where it appeared that John Bullard had finally coaxed a spirit from hiding. "Show yourself," he said again, just before the room crackled with a sound that shocked the heart and froze the spine, even as recognition set in.
"Ooooh ooh-ooh ooh," a voice wailed, rising not from the beyond, but from a digital clock-radio flashing the witching hour from a table by the bed, a melodious, womanly moaning, circa 1970: Diana Ross and
the Supremes.
"Could be a coincidence," Bullard said at last, as the final strains of Ain't No Mountain High Enough gave up the ghost. "Maybe not." As the leader of the paranormal investigative team Smoke & Mirrors, Bullard of Clinton has made it his mission to find clues to the seemingly unsolvable mysteries of life and the afterlife.

It was first released in 2003. A version for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network was released in 2010 that was simply titled Sonic Adventure. The game was rereleased for PC via Steam in 2011.CharactersSonic the HedgehogSonic just returned from his last adventure when he hears police cars follows them to see what's up. A liquid-formed monster named Chaos, a fierce deity of destruction that craves Chaos Emeralds to become stronger, attacks and Sonic jumps in to get a little of the action. After Chaos flees, Sonic goes to Emerald Beach the next day to enjoy his vacation when Tails crash lands and Sonic rescues him to see that Tails has found a Chaos Emerald. As Sonic arrives at Tail's workshop to see the Chaos Emerald and help with Tail's destroyed plane, they are attacked by Dr. Eggman and Chaos who end up stealing the Chaos Emerald. Chaos absorbs the Chaos Emerald into his body, and transforms into a more powerful being. Now Sonic must set out the rest of the Chaos Emeralds before Chaos absorbs them and destroys the world. Each stage for Sonic is the classic high-speed race against the clock to reach the end like previous Sonic the Hedgehog games.TailsAfter Sonic rescues him from the plane crash, and Chaos and Dr. Eggman come to destroy the world, Tails decides to follow Sonic around and help him take down Eggman and the monstrous Eggcarrier. Tails, who wishes to impress Sonic, must then race against him to the Chaos Emerald before Sonic gets there first. When Sonic wonders how he will reach the Egg Carrier to stop Dr. Eggman and the deity, Chaos, Tails presents his newest invention- the transforming airplane Tornado 2. That's when Tail's stages change from a race against Sonic, to high-flying shooter against enemy planes and explosive mines.KnucklesKnuckles was watching over the Master Emerald on Angel Island when Dr. Eggman comes along and destroys it, releasing Chaos from his ancient slumber. With the Master Emerald gone, the power source keeping Angel Island in the sky is gone, making the island crash into the ocean. Now it's up to Knuckles to seek out the pieces of the missing emerald and restore Angel Island back to its original state. Each of Knuckle's stages consist of having to seek out 3 pieces of the emerald.Amy RoseAmy decided to do a little shopping in Station Square when the Egg Carrier flys over, scaring the inhabitants. In the middle of the panic, Amy sees a tiny blue bird called a Flicky fall from the Egg Carrier, and decides to help it. While helping the poor defensless bird, one of Eggman's robots named ZERO begin to chase her down. Eventually she gets captured, and taken aboard the Egg Carrier when she escapes and the Flicky is taken from her by Eggman. In the mists of all the panic, the reason Amy and the Flicky were being chased was because of a Chaos Emerald the tiny blue bird was carrying around its neck in a small box. Amy's stages consist of fleeing from ZERO before being captured.Big the CatBig's pet and best friend, Froggy, swallowed a Chaos Emerald that was part of Chaos' tail. The mutated frog flees from Big, who then leaves to search for his missing friend. Each of Big's stages consist of fishing for Froggy before it gets away again.E-102 GammaGamma is a robot created by Dr. Eggman. At first, Gamma undergoes training and special missions for Eggman along with his older robotic brothers to see which of them is the most useful to Eggman. As Gamma goes about with Eggmans planes, he's forced to destroy his robot comrades and thus realizes Eggman is a bad person after meeting Amy. Gamma goes against Eggman, and hopes to see his brothers once again and to rescue the animals Eggman uses as the core of his machines. Gamma's stages consist of shooting enemies and making it past various missions Eggman sends him out to complete.

Sheriff Derek O'Carroll placed him on a three year community payback order with supervision plus the 250 hours community work. He will also be on the sex offenders' register for three years.

Yesterday, we noted a report that the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers were engaged in some talks surrounding All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony and big man Andrew Bynum.
Upon further discussion in our Eye On Basketball roundtable, we generally agreed that it didn't make a ton of sense for the Lakers, given the timing, the loss of Bynum from their front line, money owed to Anthony and his questionable fit in the immediate short-term.
Now comes word from the Los Angeles Times that the Lakers were equally skeptical at the notion of the trade.
But the Lakers denied it was on the table in the first place and insisted team executive Jim Buss and General Manager Mitch Kupchak were on the same page as far as trade opportunities.
Coach Phil Jackson chuckled at the rumors in general after the Lakers practiced Wednesday in Boston. "I haven't even entertained it," Jackson said of trading for Anthony. "My first thought is why are these [media] people interrupting my life with these kind of rumors."Leave it to Lakers star Kobe Bryant to deny the rumors with a great one-liner.
"We don't really deal with the unknowns," he said. "You might as well talk about UFOs, too."In related news, extraterrestial sources close to the planet Mars tell me that the Milky Way galaxy has expressed interest in Lakers forward Ron Artest. The galaxy is said to value Artest's defensive intensity and ability to "think outside the Earth."
In case you missed it: today's other Carmelo Anthony headlines...
- He might just be staying put in Denver.
- He would have to consider signing an extension with the Nuggets if he's not traded.

Spleenwort Fern - Asplenium Platyneuron
This Spleenwort Fern, sometimes also called the Ebony Spleenwort Fern, looks very similar to the Christmas fern in terms of leaf and frond shape. However, the Spleenwort Fern can grow to a mature height and width of roughly half the size! So if you love the look of Christmas Ferns, but need a smaller option for a potted plant or to act as a garden liner or groundcover, the Spleenwort Fern is an excellent option. Another great benefit of Spleenwort Ferns is that they are evergreen, and will keep their exotic emerald color through winter. Spleenwort Ferns are native to the eastern coast of North America, and therefore very adaptable to different soils and climates.
TN Nursery help you buy only the best Spleenwort Ferns for your garden!
Climate Zone: 3 to 9

gravitational attraction assists with both collecting and binding the grains and the process becomes known as accretion. When the grains become macroscopic, the accretion can be modeled more easily, and many investigators have studied the various mechanisms that lead to growth from macroscopic grains to planetesimals. The role of resonances and the ability of resonances to lead to characteristic sizes of planetesimals have been investigated with inconclusive results by many people. The current state of the art in this modeling is the work by Weidenschilling (1997), who finds that resonances are unimportant but predicts characteristic sizes on the order of 100 meters, the size at which the planetesimal has a sufficiently large ratio of mass to cross section that it decouples from the effects of gaseous drag.
The planetesimals that have grown large enough to escape the effects of gaseous drag can be modeled with purely gravitational physics. The results are somewhat sensitive to the assumed starting conditions, but in the vicinity of Jupiter and Saturn most planetesimals are either incorporated into Jupiter and Saturn or ejected entirely from the solar system by encounters with those bodies. In the vicinity of Uranus and Neptune, many planetesimals are still captured into the two planets or ejected from the solar system, but there is also a significant likelihood of a gentle ejection from the planetary region outward for thousands of astronomical units, i.e., to distances that are a significant fraction of interstellar distances, where the planetesimals are still gravitationally bound to the protosun in a very extended disk. Comprehensive models have not been calculated, but the studies thus far indicate that this is the dominant source of comets in the Oort Cloud.
Since the relative numbers of planetesimals at the distances of the different giant protoplanets are not well known, the relative contributions to the Oort Cloud from various regions of the protoplanetary disk also are not well known. The efficiency is much higher near proto-Uranus and proto-Neptune than near proto-Jupiter and proto-Saturn, but it is unclear whether higher relative numbers of planetesimals near proto-Jupiter and proto-Saturn might have counteracted this effect. As originally explained by Oort (1950), many dynamical simulations have shown that the effects of passing stars, galactic tides, and passages through molecular clouds convert this disk into a roughly spherical distribution that is now know as the Oort Cloud. Beyond Neptune, the process of formation of planetesimals proceeded more slowly owing to the lower densities and lower velocities. The formation of a planet was inhibited because the slow accretion to planetesimals used up all the material before one planetesimal became large enough that its gravitational cross section greatly exceeded its geometrical cross section and approached the scale of the mean separation between planetesimals. Most of these planetesimals are still present today in what is now called the Kuiper Belt, although the inner parts of this belt, say from 40 to 50 AU, have been considerably depleted by subsequent planetary perturbations.
The time scale for formation of large (tens of kilometers) comets in the Uranus-Neptune region is on the order of 106 years, that for ejection to the Oort disk is probably up to an order of magnitude longer, and the time scale to convert the Oort Cloud from a disk to a sphere is on the order of 109 years. It should be noted that one expects mixing of planetesimals from one part of the protoplanetary disk to another during the stage at which the planets accrete, although the simulations are not yet accurate enough to determine how much mixing occurs. Today the orbits of comets in both the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud are nearly circular, with orbital periods in the Oort Cloud being the longest at about 106 years.
The comets that are seen today in the inner solar system have been delivered from both the Oort Cloud and the Kuiper Belt much more recently than the epoch of formation. Comets entering the inner solar system for the first time from the Oort Cloud can be recognized with high confidence from their orbits, the orbit having been perturbed by some passing star or possibly by a chance encounter between two comets. On the basis of an analysis of their orbits, it is possible to identify those comets that more likely came from the Oort Cloud and ones that more likely came from the Kuiper Belt, but for any individual comet we cannot be sure from which of these two reservoirs it came. Researchers also know of seven Centaurs, bodies orbiting roughly between Jupiter and Neptune, one of which is known to show cometary outgassing. These are transition objects between short-period comets and Kuiper Belt objects, although again researchers do not know confidently in individual cases whether the Centaur is arriving from the Kuiper Belt or is being ejected back toward the Kuiper Belt.

Ades' `Powder Her Face' opens NY City Opera season
NEW YORK (AP) - Thomas Ades wanted to be provocative in his first opera, "Powder Her Face," when he composed a scene in which he musically depicts a sex act between the Duchess of Argyll and a waiter.
Not enough for director Jay Scheib, who turns the tawdry tale into a numbing night of decadence by adding two dozen naked men standing, stumbling and slumbering around a hotel room in New York City Opera's new production that opened Friday at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Howard Gilman Opera House.
The 1995 work by the then 24-year-old composer started the company's second straight abbreviated season following its departure from Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
With glistening music and a poetic libretto by Philip Hensher portraying the libertine lives of the Duchess and Duke, a socialite proclaimed "wholly immoral" and "a Don Juan among women" by Lord Wheatley in his 1963 divorce ruling, Ades revels in the licentiousness that spilled into the British tabloids.
The pleasure-above-all nature of the Duchess, the former Ethel Margaret Whigham, is fueled by cocaine, alcohol, callousness and disregard for boundaries, while Ades searches for a modern musical idiom that would become more mature in his 2004 composition "The Tempest," given its Metropolitan Opera premiere last October.
There are hints of show tunes along with 20th-century giants, such as Berg, Satie and Strauss. The Duchess commands attention like a meteor burning across the sky.
"I was beautiful. I was famous. I was young. I was rich," the Electrician, disguised as the Duchess, sings during the first of nine stream-of-consciousness scenes that start and end in 1990 and stretch back to the 1950s and 1930s. The Duchess comes off as molten and cool at the same time, mixtures of heroines unable to cope with the acquisition and loss of money and attention.
She was the life of the party every night, an out-of-control, look-at-me Lohan, Kardashian and Hilton of the pre-television, pre-paparazzi age. She dabbed herself with the perfume "Joy" and tried to imbue the scent and sentiment into all around her.
But the scene moved on. Decades later she was evicted from her luxury hotel, disgraced and unable to pay her numerous bills.
Scampering about in expensive-looking dresses and lingerie, mezzo-soprano Allison Cook had a bit of a Wallis Simpson look and created an uninhibited portrait of the Duchess, her voice soaring, choking and snickering.
Soprano Nili Riemer was the Maid, who transformed into a rubbernecker at the trial and a journalist. She provided spunk and spark- and must have been exhausted by the end of the night from repeatedly bouncing on a bed as if it were a trampoline.
Bass Matt Boehler sang the Hotel Manager, who also becomes the Duke and a rubbernecker and the stiff-and- shocked judge, injecting a sense of gravitas. And tenor William Ferguson sang the Electrician, who becomes the somewhat but not-so-shocked Waiter.
Scheib's production features simple furniture by Marsha Ginsburg on an airy set, with trees interspersed during the latter scenes. There were fashionable costumes by Alba Clemente, and the staging made prominent use of projections by Josh Higgason and video shot on stage by Chelsey Blackmon.
And there were the 22 nude men, billed as a "Corps of Lovers," at least one of whom did a handstand.
The opening at BAM, where "Powder" received a semi-staged U.S. premiere in 1998 at what now is called the Harvey Theater, was part of a run of four performances through Feb. 23, and NYCO's season continues with Britten's "The Turn of the Screw" at BAM from Feb. 24-March 2. The company then returns to City Center in Manhattan, its home from 1944-65, to conclude its 16-performance season with Rossini's "Mose in Egitto (Moses in Egypt)" (April 14-20) and Offenbach's "La Perichole" (April 21-27).
For dauntlessness, it will be hard to top "Powder."
"Could you not have pity for me?" the Duchess sings just before the final note. At the final curtain, after all the nudity and debauchery, the audience seemed dazed before giving warm applause to the cast, conductor Jonathan Stockhammer and the composer.

The History of Catholic Central Hockey
In the winter of 1934, fourteen year old John Ronayne, a student at Catholic Central, and Father Bob Lowery decided it was time for the school to have a hockey team. When we asked Brendan Ronayne if he was related to John, we learned that Brendan was his son. Unfortunately John passed away in 1987 but his legacy has lived on for seventy years. Many of the Ronayne men have played for Catholic Central and their family name has been closely intertwined with the team since its beginning.
In that first year we learned that the team practiced at Ford field on an outdoor rink only a few miles from the old school on Belmont Avenue. The early team played Assumption of Windsor, Cranbrook and Country Day. Unfortunately we don't have any written records of the early team. No roster or game records can be located. When John Ronayne graduated, his brother, Jim, continued on in his footsteps keeping the game alive. Some of the early coaches of the team were Father Oscar Regan, Father Edward McMahon Sheedy. Unfortunately when the Ronayne brother's graduated from the school, interest in the sport declined and the team dissolved. There was a team led by Ronald Cullen in the 1939-40 season, but only a few games were played and no records were kept.
In the winter of 1944 when Father Cullen returned to Catholic Central, hockey was here to stay. From 1944 through 1947 the team was able to practice and play at Olympia because Ted Haner's dad, Mr. Fred Hanner was an auditor at the Olympia and obviously had an inside connection. Father Cullen had help from many faculties during the team's formative years of the 1940s and Messrs. Gregoire, Enright, Ed O'Reilly, Belyea, Rowan and Jack Lee coached the teams until the fall of 1952. Father Canning Harrison coached the school teams from 1952 through 1955.
In 1951 the Detroit Department of parks and Recreation formed a league and Mr. Jack lee entered two teams from Catholic Central. As interest in hockey increased in the city, so did hockey at the school. At one time, the school had a Pee Wee Division (boys under 15) and a Juvenile Division (boys under 17) and a Junior Division (boys under 20).
In the 1953-54 season the Catholic Central Pee Wee Team under the direction of Father John McLaughlin won both the City of Detroit and State of Michigan Championships in their division. In the 1955-56 season the same team won the City of Detroit Championship in the Juvenile Division but lost 4-1 in the State Finals to a team from Houghton, Michigan.
The teams in the recreation league served as a farm system for the Varsity Program which played scrimmages or exhibition games in those days when schools in the Detroit and Windsor, Ontario areas. Only players on the varsity team were eligible to earn the double "C" depicting their achievement in the sport at the school. For many years, Catholic Central was the only Catholic school with a hockey team in the city so it took a bit of creativity and perseverance to find skilled competition.
Sadly only a few of the schools the early Catholic Central team's played are still in existence. The only school we still play each year is Cranbrook. Brother Rice and Trenton joined league playing the mid 1960.
Today, the team is coached by Danny Veri and his assistants Gordie St. John, Mark Johnson, Ricky Buttery and Tom Nugent. Catholic Central has thirteen MHSAA State Championships. Catholic Central has three former players now in the NHL or Pro League, David Moss – Calgary, Jared Ross – Philadelphia and Nathan Perkovich – Lowell/AHL.
