This summer PRS is saying thank you to everyone who buys a NEW PRS Archon amplifier and/or a NEW PRS Custom 24 guitar* with a unique gift. In continued celebration of our 30th Anniversary, we are commemorating the model that started it all – the Custom 24.
On Friday, June 13, 2015 the Chesapeake Region Safety Council (CRSC) held its 92nd Annual Meeting at the USS Constellation Historic Ship at Pier One in Baltimore. Each year CRSC accepts nominations from member organizations who have achieved exceptional levels of performance in Safety and Health. The competition requires companies to not only talk the talk about safety but to show results through supporting documentation. Other members are recognized for their exceptional level of support of CRSC through their sponsorship of activities and events.
Continuing their 30th Anniversary celebration, PRS Guitars is offering a small batch of guitars with a new inlay pattern: the 30th Anniversary Vine. Inspired in part by the PRS Tree of Life inlay designs, the 30th Anniversary Vine is an elegant inlay made from Mother of Pearl, Paua, and Paua Heart. This special inlay is being offered on two electric guitar models: the Custom 22 and newly reintroduced McCarty.
The Paul Reed Smith P245 Semi-Hollow is a vintage-inspired single-cutaway guitar designed for players who prefer shorter scale necks. The 24.5" scale length combined with 22 frets offers classic PRS style in an easy to handle format. This versatile instrument also features the LR Baggs/PRS piezo system, providing players with both electric guitar tones and authentic acoustic tones in one instrument. With two output jacks, the P245 can be plugged directly into an electric or acoustic amplifier or DI into a soundboard. By utilizing the separate blend control, the tone of the P245's 58/15 pickups can also be combined with acoustic sounds through a single output. The P245 is one of the first models to feature the new 58/15 treble and bass pickups, which were personally designed by Paul Reed Smith. 58/15's are a vintage style pickup with exceptional clarity and focused midrange. These pickups paired with a shorter 24.5" scale length and 22 frets, give the P245 a truly classic voice that is imminently recordable and gig-ready.
The PRS McCarty model pays homage to a legacy of innovation. As the President of Gibson during a true golden era of guitar building (1950-1966), Ted McCarty was a pioneer of the electric guitar and musical instrument industry. In the late 1980's, Paul Reed Smith called on Ted to consult with him on guitar design and production techniques. He not only served as Paul's mentor but became a great friend of Paul and everyone he met at PRS.
Buying a PRS is a special memory. Chances are you spent months gazing at it in a product catalog, on a website or on the wall at your local guitar store.
Either way, it's hard to forget the moment you finally take it home with you.
Here at PRS, we love hearing the stories of satisfied customers and the day they purchased their PRS Guitars. If you have a story about buying your PRS, tell us!

SPOKESMAN: The senate will convene as a court –
KWAME HOLMAN: House Republican managers spent three days last week building their case against President Clinton. Today, White House lawyers began the task of trying to tear it down.
WILLIAM REHNQUIST: The Chair recognizes Mr. Counsel Ruff to begin the presentation of the case for the president.
KWAME HOLMAN: White House Counsel Charles Ruff was the first member of President Clinton's legal team to speak. He opened the president's defense with an unequivocal statement.
CHARLES RUFF: William Jefferson Clinton is not guilty of the charges that have been proffered against him. He did not commit perjury, he did not obstruct justice. He must not be removed from office.
KWAME HOLMAN: White House Counsel Ruff then quickly laid out for the sitting senators the series of events that led to the investigation of President Clinton, events Ruff called into question even as he described them.
CHARLES RUFF: On May 6, 1994, Paula Jones sued President Clinton in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. She claimed that then-Governor Clinton had made, in 1991, some unwelcome overture to her in an Arkansas hotel room, and that she suffered adverse employment consequences and was subsequently defamed. After the Supreme Court decided in May, 1997, that civil litigation against the president could go forward while he was in office, the case was remanded to the district court, and over the fall and the winter of 1997, the Jones lawyers deposed numerous witnesses, and inevitably, despite the strict protective order entered by Judge Wright and a continuing exhortation to counsel not to discuss any aspect of the case with the press, information flowed from those depositions into the public forum clearly with only one purpose: To embarrass the president.
Then on December 5, 1997, the Jones lawyers placed on their witness list the name of Monica Lewinsky, and on December 19th, she was served with a subpoena for a deposition to be scheduled in January. The Jones lawyers deposed the president on January 17, 1998. They began the deposition by proffering to him a multi- paragraph definition of the term "sexual relations" that they intended to use in questioning him. And there followed an extended debate among counsel and the court concerning the propriety and the clarity of that definition. Mr. Bennett objected to its use, arguing that it was unclear, that it would encompass conduct wholly irrelevant to the case, and that it was unfair to require the president to apply a definition that he had never seen before to each question he was asked. Indeed, Mr. Bennett urged the lawyers for Ms. Jones to ask the president specific questions about his conduct, but they declined to do so. Four days later, the independent counsel's investigation became a public matter.
And on January 29th, responding to a request by the independent counsel to bar further inquiry relating to Ms. Lewinsky, Judge Wright ruled that evidence relating to her relationship with the president would be excluded from the trial, and she reaffirmed this ruling on March 9, stating that the evidence was not "essential to the core issues in this case of whether plaintiff herself was the victim of sexual harassment, hostile work environment, or intentional infliction –intentional infliction of emotional distress.
KWAME HOLMAN: And Ruff introduced Kenneth Starr and Linda Tripp into a series of events.
CHARLES RUFF: In mid-January, 1998, Linda Tripp had brought to the independent counsel information that she had been gathering surreptitiously for months about Ms. Lewinsky's relationship with the president, and her involvement in the Jones case, and thus began the penultimate chapter. As you will see, Ms. Tripp's relationship with Ms. Lewinsky and her role in these matters is more than merely a backdrop to the succeeding events. Independent counsel met with Ms. Tripp, informally granted her immunity from federal prosecution, promised to assist her in securing immunity from state prosecution, where she had been illegally taping the telephone calls with Ms. Lewinsky.
On the 16th, Ms. Tripp invited Ms. Lewinsky to have lunch with her in the Pentagon City Mall, and there, she was greeted by a corps of F.B.I. agents and independent counsel lawyers, and taken to a hotel room, where she spent the next several hours. Ms. Tripp was in the room next door for much of that time. When she left that evening, she went home to meet with the Jones lawyers– with whom we know she has been in contact for many months– in order to brief them about her knowledge of the relationship between Ms. Lewinsky and the president, so that they in turn could question the president the next morning. As the independent counsel himself has acknowledged, Ms. Tripp was able to play this oddly multi-faceted role because, although as part of her immunity agreement, the O.I.C. could have prevented her from talking about Ms. Lewinsky, they inexplicably chose not to.And so we are here.
But before moving on, let me pause on an important procedural point. Although the senate has asked that the parties address the issue of witnesses, only after these presentations have been completed, the managers spent much of their time last week explaining to you why, if only witnesses could be called, you would be able to resolve all of the supposed conflicts in the evidence.
Tell me, then, how is it that the managers can be so certain of this strength of their case? They didn't hear any of these witnesses. The only witness they called, the independent counsel himself, acknowledged that he had not even met any of the witnesses who testified before the grand jury. Yet they appeared before you to tell you that they are convinced of the president's guilt, and that they are prepared to demand his removal from office.
Well, the managers would have you believe that the Judiciary Committee of the House were really nothing more than grand jurors serving as some routine screening device to sort out impeachment chaff from impeachment wheat. Thus, as they would have it, there was no need for anything more than a review of the cold record prepared by the independent counsel; no need for them to make judgments about credibility or conflicts. Indeed, they offered you a short lesson in grand jury practice, telling you that U.S. Attorneys do this thing all the time; that calling real live witnesses before a grand jury is the exception to the rule. Well, it has been a few years since I served as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, so there may have been a change in the way prosecutors go about their business, but I don't think so.
And so what lesson can be learned from the process followed by the House? I suggest that what you have before you is not the product of the Judiciary Committee's well-considered, judicious assessment of their constitutional role. No, what you have before you is the product of nothing more than a rush to judgment. And so, how should you respond to the managers' belated plea that more is needed to do justice? You should reject it. You have before you all that you need to reach this conclusion: There was no basis for the House to impeach, and there is now and never will be any basis for the senate to convict.
JIM LEHRER: Ruff had microphone problems during the first hour of his presentation, which is why he was holding it in his hand. During a short recess, the problem was fixed and Ruff resumed. He said the articles of impeachment are not constitutional and not supported by the evidence. Kwame Holman continues our coverage.
KWAME HOLMAN: Charles Ruff began by reminding senators that courtroom prosecutors sometimes do not reveal all of the facts in a case, and he said this case falls into that category.
CHARLES RUFF: Last week, for example, you will recall that Mr. Manager Sensenbrenner told you that during my appearance before the Judiciary Committee, in his words,"Charles Ruff was asked directly 'Did the president lie during his sworn grand jury testimony?' And Mr. Ruff could have answered that question directly. He did not and his failure to do so speaks a thousand words."
Now, just to be certain that the record is straight, let me read to you from the transcript of that Judiciary Committee hearing. Representative Sensenbrenner: "The oath that witnesses take require them to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And I seem to recall that there are a lot of people, myself included, when asked by the press what advice we would give to the president when he went into the grand jury in August was to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
Mr. Ruff: "Indeed."
Representative Sensenbrenner: "Did he tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth when he was in the grand jury?"
Mr. Ruff: "He surely did."
I'm certain that Mr. Sensenbrenner would not intentionally mislead the senate. But his error was one of inadvertence. But in any event, now the record is clear. Of considerably more importance than this momentary lapse are the many substantive flaws that we will point out to you in the coming days, sometimes pure errors of fact, sometimes errors of interpretation, sometimes unfounded speculation. My colleagues will deal with many of these flaws at greater length as they discuss the specific charges against the president, but I'll give you a couple of examples as I reach the appropriate points in my overview today because I want you to have in mind throughout our presentation and, indeed, throughout the rest of these proceedings this one principle: Be wary. Be wary of a prosecutor who feels it is necessary to deceive the court.
KWAME HOLMAN: Ruff went on to give an overview of how the defense team will argue against each of two the articles of impeachment, beginning with the charge of perjury.
CHARLES RUFF: Perjury requires proof that a defendant knowingly made a false statement about a material fact. The defendant must have had a subjective intent to lie. Testimony that's provided as a result of confusion or mistake or faulty memory or carelessness or misunderstanding is not perjury. The mere fact that the recollections of two witnesses may differ does not mean that one is committing perjury.
Common sense and the stringent requirements of the law dictate that law is required. And that is where you need to begin your focus as you look at the charge that the president perjured himself in the grand jury in August of last year. Any assessment of that testimony must begin with one immutable fact: He admitted that he had, in his words, inappropriate, intimate contact with Monica Lewinsky. No one who was present for that testimony has read the transcript, or watched the videotape could come away believing anything other than that the president and Ms. Lewinsky engaged in sexual conduct. Indeed, even the prosecutors, who surely cannot be accused of being reluctant to find presidential misconduct, contend not that the president lied about the nature of his relationship but only about the details.
Yet, the managers, in their eagerness to find misconduct where none had found it before, have searched every nook and cranny of the grand jury transcript and sent forward to you a shopping list of alleged misstatements, obviously in the hope that among them will you find one with which you disagree. But they hope in vain. The record simply will not support a finding that the president perjured himself before the grand jury.
Now, the managers begin by asking you to look at the prepared statement that the president offered at the very beginning of his grand jury appearance. Before the president actually began his testimony, his lawyer, Mr. Kendall, spoke to Mr. Starr and told him that at the first moment at which there was an inquiry concerning the detailed nature of the relationship with Ms. Lewinsky, he wished to make a prepared statement and he was permitted to do so. That statement acknowledged the existence of an intimate relationship, but it did not discuss the specific physical details in what I think we will all understand to have been an effort to preserve the dignity of the office.
Now, the House has charged that this statement was somehow a "premeditated effort to thwart the O.I.C.'S investigation." That is errant nonsense. Even the independent counsel saw no such dark motive in this statement. Now, to conclude that the president lied to the grand jury about his relationship with Ms. Lewinsky, you must determine — forgive me — that he touched certain parts of her body but, for proof, you have only her oath against his oath. Those who have been criminal defense lawyers know that perjury prosecutions, as rare as they are, would never be pursued on the evidence available here. And those among you who do not bring that special experience, at least bring your common sense and are equally able to assess the weakness of the case that would rest on such a foundation.
Common sense also is enough to tell you that there cannot be any basis of charging a witness with perjury on the ground that you disbelieve his testimony about his own subjective belief in a definition of a term used in a civil deposition. Not only is there no evidence to support such a charge here, it is difficult to contemplate what evidence the managers might hope to rely on to meet that burden.
KWAME HOLMAN: Next, Ruff argued against the charge the president obstructed justice and tampered with witnesses.
CHARLES RUFF: I want to talk first about what's come known as the "concealment of gifts" theory. The allegation that the president participated in some scheme to conceal certain gifts he had given to Ms. Lewinsky centers on two events allegedly occurring on December 28, 1297:
First a conversation between the president and Ms. Lewinsky in the White House in which the two discussed the gifts, at least briefly, that he had given to Ms. Lewinsky; and,
(b), Miss Currie's picking up a box of gifts from Ms. Lewinsky and storing them under her bed. The managers, as was true of the majority report and the independent counsel role before that build their theory in this case not on any pillars of obstruction but on shifting sand castles of speculation. Monica Lewinsky met with the president on December 28, 18997, sometime shortly before 8:00 A.M. — to exchange Christmas presents.
According to Ms. Lewinsky, they briefly discussed the subject of gifts she had received from the president in connection with her receipt some days earlier of the subpoena in the Jones case. And this was the first and only time, she says, in which the subject was ever discussed. Now, the managers quote one version of Ms. Lewinsky's description of that December 28th conversation as follows: "At some point I said to him, well, you know, should I, maybe I should put the gifts away outside my house somewhere or give to someone, maybe Betty. And he sort of said — I think he responded 'I don't know' or 'let me think about that' and left that topic."
But the senate should know that, in fact, Ms. Lewinsky has discussed this very exchange on at least ten different occasions and that the very most she alleges in any of them is that the president said "I don't know," or "let me think about it" when she raised the issue of the gifts. Indeed, in many of her versions she said, among other things, there really was no response, that the president did not respond, that she didn't have a clear image in her mind what to do next. She also testified that Miss Currie's name did not come up because the president really didn't say anything. And, most importantly, in not a single one of her multiple versions of this event did she say that the president ever initiated any discussion about the gifts, nor did he ever suggest to her that she conceal it.
The next point I want to discuss with you is the statements that the president made to Betty Currie on the day after his Jones deposition, January 18th of last year. There's no dispute in the record, no conflict in testimony, that the president did meet with his secretary, Betty Currie, on the day after the Jones deposition. And they discussed Monica Lewinsky. The managers cast this conversation, this recitation, this series of statements and questions put by the president to Ms. Currie in the most sinister light possible and allege that the president attempted to influence the testimony of a witness– "witness," by pressuring Ms. Currie to agree with an inaccurate version of the facts surrounding his relationship with Ms. Lewinsky.
First Ms. Currie's status as a witness: In the only proceeding the president knew about at that moment, the Jones case, Ms. Currie was neither an actual nor a prospective witness. As to the only proceeding to which she ultimately became a witness, no one would suggest, manners or no one else would suggest the president knew that the independent counsel was conducting an investigation into his activities. In the entire history of the Jones case, Ms. Currie's name had not appeared on any of the witness lists.
Nor was there any reason to suspect Ms. Currie would play any role in the Jones case. Discovery was down to its final days. Nor did the president ever pressure Ms. Currie to alter her recollection. Despite the prosecutor's best efforts to coax Ms. Currie into saying she was pressured to agree with the president, Ms. Currie adamantly denied it. Let me quote just briefly a few lines of her grand jury testimony.
Question: "Now, back again to the four statements that you testified the president made to you that were presented as statements. Did you feel pressured when he told you those statements?"
Answer: "None whatsoever."
Question: "What was your impression that he wanted you to say because he would end each of the statements with 'right,' with a question?"
Answer: "I do not remember that he wanted to me to say right. He would say 'right,' and I could have said wrong."
Question: "But he could end each of those questions with a 'right,' and you could either say whether it was true or not true?"
Answer: "Correct."
Question: "Did you feel any pressure to agree with your boss?"
Answer: "None whatsoever."
And now we come to the last of the obstruction charges. The managers ask you to find that the President of the United States employed his friend, Vernon Jordan, to get Monica Lewinsky a job in New York to influence her testimony or perhaps in a somewhat forlorn effort to escape the reach of the federal rules of civil procedure — actually to hide her from the Jones lawyers in the eight million people that live in that city. There is, of course, absolutely no evidence to support this conclusion. And so the managers who constructed out of sealing wax and string and spider's webs a theory that would lend to a series of otherwise innocuous and indeed exculpatory events a dark and sinister cast the undisputed record establishes the following:
One, Ms. Lewinsky's New York job search began on her own initiative; two, the search began long before her involvement in the Jones case; three, the search had no connection to the Jones case; four, Vernon Jordan agreed to help her not at the direction of the president but at the request of Ms. Currie, Mr. Jordan's long-time friend; and, five, the idea to solicit Mr. Jordan's assistance, again, came not from the president but from Ms. Tripp.
As I thought about this particular aspect of it, I have to say I was sort of reminded of "Diego" in "Des DeMona's Handkerchief," but we'll pass on. Both Ms. Lewinsky and Mr. Jordan have repeatedly testified that there was never an agreement, a suggestion, an implication that Ms. Lewinsky would be rewarded with a job for her silence or her false testimony. As Mr. Jordan succinctly put it, "unequivocally, indubitable, no."
Now, it appears to me that the managers are suggesting, again with not a great deal of subtlety, that Vernon Jordan, one of this country's great lawyers and great citizens was prepared to perjure himself to save the president. So let's just imagine a manager's examination of Mr. Jordan in this chamber that would let you make your own judgment about his truthfulness.
Question: "Mr. Jordan, isn't it a fact that you met with Ms. Lewinsky on December 11th to help get her a job?"
Answer: "Yes."
Question: "And isn't it a fact that before and after you met with her you made you calls to potential employers in New York?"
"And isn't it true that the reason for all this activity on December 11th was that Judge Wright had on that very day issued an order authorizing the Jones lawyers to depose certain women like Ms. Lewinsky?"
Question: "What do you mean no? Isn't it true that the judge had issued her order before you met with Ms. Lewinsky and before you made the calls?"
Answer: "I had no knowledge of any such order."
Now, I want to stop here for just a second so you know where Mr. Jordan was when that happened. By the way, I was with Mr. Jordan testifying again. I was actually on a plane for Amsterdam by the time the judge issued her order. So he testified in the grand jury. I left on United Flight 946 at 5:55 from Dulles Airport and landed, I understand, the next morning. He gets on his plane at 5:55 in the afternoon and an hour or so later, the lawyers are informed that the judge had issued her order. Now, do you think — does any of you think that you need to look Mr. Jordan in the eye and hear his tone of voice to understand that the prosecutors have got it wrong?
KWAME HOLMAN: In asking the senate to acquit the president on all charges, Ruff included a personal note.
CHARLES RUFF: I'm never certain how to respond when an advocate on the other side of a case calls up images of patriots over the centuries who have sacrificed themselves to preserve our democracy. I have no personal experience with war. I've only visited Normandy as a tourist. But I do know this: my father was on Omaha Beach 55 years ago — and I know how he would feel if he were here today. He didn't fight – no one fought for one side of this case or the other; he fought, as all those did, for our country and our Constitution. And as long as each of us, manager, president's counsel, senator does his or her constitutional duty, those who fought for their country will be proud.
KWAME HOLMAN: Immediately after today's session, a number of Democratic senators said Ruff made a strong presentation that reinforced that there is no need to call witnesses in the trial. Even some Republican House managers said Ruff did an excellent job, but that their version of events is more believable.

2008 Spring Preview
Key Questions Answered
2008 Big Ten Spring Analysis
1) How many of the top
Illinois prospects from the 2007 recruiting class are ready to roll. 2) Is there
going to be more of an emphasis on throwing, and is Juice Williams going to be
the full-time starter? 3) Who's replacing
Rashard Mendenhall?
Frank Frangie, Publisher,
1) A number of players from last year's class played a great deal last
year: WR Arrelious Benn, LB Martez Wilson, WR Brian Gamble, RB Daniel
Dufrene, DT Josh Brent, CB Marcus Thomas, FS Nathan Bussey. All of those guys currently are listed as starters headed into spring.
Beyond those starters, players from the 2007 class that redshirted, but will
figure prominently, include: RB Troy Pollard (received medical
hardship after being injured early in the season), OL Jack Cornell,
Craig Wilson and Mark Jackson (all are listed in top two of depth
chart), DL DeAngelo McCray and Darryle Ballew (will be in rotation), LB
Ian Thomas (could start) and SS Darius Purcell (could start).
2) Juice is the full-time starter. Eddie McGee will play in most games,
but Juice is the starter. They will throw more, but not just because
they are replacing a running back, but because it is part of the natural
development of Williams, now in his third season. Also, this will
be by far the best and most experienced receiving corps Illinois has had
since Zook as been the coach.
3) Heading into spring, junior Daniel Dufrene is first on the depth
chart to replace Mendenhall. Dufrene is smaller, but very fast.
Competition will come from Pollard, when he recovers from knee surgery,
a similarly small back but one with the best vision on the team. And two
true freshmen -- Mikel LeShoure, who entered early and is going through
spring practice, and Jason Ford.
Really, how many
questions and concerns ARE there at Michigan right now?
, Too many to count. Will RichRod have a quarterback that can run his
offense? The only two QB's on the spring roster are drop-backers Steven
Threet and David Cone - and neither has ever taken a snap in a college
Who'll play slot receiver? New-U-M signed three slot receivers in Feb.,
but for the spring there are none ... will RB's Carlos Brown and Avery
Horn have to fill in?
Will the defense look different, or the same as old-U-M's? With all new
defensive coaches, who knows?
Where should the '08 expectations be set? The schedule is front-loaded
with Sept.-Oct. games against Utah, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Illinois, PSU
and MSU. Still, regardless of where expectations "should" be set, they
are actually set, as always -- sky-high.
Will the Indiana running backs be used more or is the offense going to
be all about Kellen Lewis again?
From John Decker,
So long as Kellen Lewis is under center, the offense is going to
revolve around and his ability to throw it and run it. But Indiana
would like to lean on the running backs a little more than it has
the last couple of years, and the best chance of that happening is
if freshman RB Darius Willis turns out to be the sort of impact
freshman the staff thinks he can be. At 6-0 and 210 pounds Willis
has good size, which he combines with 4.4 speed in the 40. While
Indiana has relied on a tailback-by-committee approach the last
couple of years, Coach Bill Lynch's staff thinks Willis has the full
complement of skills that will allow him to be 20-25 carry/game
tailback. I wouldn't be surprised to see him Willis start of the
season sharing carries with the likes of Marcus Thigpen and Bryan
Payton, but by the time the Big Ten season arrives he will have a
chance to be the every down back.
Considering all
of Iowa's injuries and all the problems last year, how is the offense shaping
Jon Miller, HawkeyeNation.com
Their biggest recruiting 'get' on either side of the ball, in
my opinion, was after signing day, when Shonn Greene announced he would
be returning. He played his first two years, a killer on special
teams, and got some carries. He has the best combination of power
and speed at a running back for Iowa than I have seen in all of my years
of watching Hawkeye football, which is nearly three decades. he has two years of
eligibility remaining, and running back is basically the lone position
where Iowa lost anyone.
Tight End Tony Moeaki has the skills to be one of the best in the Big
Ten, he will be ready to go in May. He dislocated his elbow and broke
his wrist against Wisconsin in Iowa's fourth game. WR Andy Brodell will
be 100% for spring drills, and he also was lost for the year against
Wisconsin, with a hamstring tear off the bone. He closed the 2006
season with back to back 159 yard games against Minnesota and Texas.
The O lost Dominique Douglas before the season began last year after he
was one of the top freshman receivers in the nation in 2006. Factor in
all of those things, along with a green offensive line, and you
basically gave a green light to opposing defensive coordinators as to
letting loose numerous blitz packages. Iowa clearly failed in that
area, as QB Jake Christensen was sacked more times than any starting BCS
He has the skills, but I think he played a little shell-shocked late in
the year, hearing things that might not have been there because they
were there so often.
Still, Iowa set a record for the fewest number of giveaways in one
season, amidst all of that heat. Jake is a heady kid, and he
doesn't take you out of games, even when the going got tough this year.
He should have a full compliment of position players this year, the
offensive line will be one year older and more experienced across the
board, Greene is a load in the backfield, Brandon Meyers is good enough
to start at tight end on most of the teams in the Big Ten.
Trey Stross will be in the mix at WR, and Derrell Johnson-Koulianos will
be a sophomore receiver. He has the skills to be one of the most
exciting playmakers in the Big Ten, as long as he can nail down the
little things, like picking up hot reads, something he didn't do all
that well last year, nor did any of the young receivers.
For much of the year, 2/3's, Iowa basically had three healthy receivers,
and they were all freshmen. Two of them played QB in high school.
This offense has nowhere to go but up, and though it will probably come
into this year with low expectations from the 'outside world', it will
be quite capable of punching some people in the nose.
Is the Michigan State offense going to be
more about QB Brian Hoyer, since he's the veteran, or will the attack still
revolve around the running game?
From Joe Torok, Associate Editor,
MSU will go as far as Javon Ringer will carry them. Ringer returns as a top-shelf running back in the Big Ten, looking
to build on 1,484-yard performance. He combines the shiftiness of a scat
back with the explosiveness of a sprinter, and he's always a threat to blow
open the game with a big play, notching an 80-yard touchdown (six TDs on the season) and
averaging 5.9 yards-per-carry last year.
Losing goal line back Jehuu Caulcrick will mean Ringer has to do more in
the red-zone.
While improved play from quarterback Brian Hoyer will be important to
the team's success, the Spartan offense is designed to establish a
formidable ground game. Hoyer, a serviceable quarterback who has shown
moments of greatness, will be looked to primarily for smart, efficient
With succession plans all the rage, how's the transition of power
at Penn State going to go down, and more importantly, when? Also, is
Darryl Clark really the right quarterback?

I have tried with setting properties of UIPicker as SetHidden:False and SetVisible:NO , but they are still visible.
Hmmm, you should use "setHidden", not "setVisible" and you should use "YES", not "False" or "NO", so try "setHidden:YES", it should work if the UIPicker is correctly connected in Interface Builder.
And please copy the code directly from XCode instead of retyping it. It is "setHidden" with a small "s" and not with a capital "S".
Have you created an IBOutlet and set the link up for the referencing outlet?
Don't forget that if you had dragged & dropped a UIDatePicker object onto your view using Interface Builder, you must link your object to the defined variable. You can do that by holding the CTRL button while dragging from your UIDatePicker object on your view to the File's Owner. I actually forget to do that more often than not. I end up programmatically creating my objects and adding them as subviews as a result.

The following news release has been issued by the NC Department of Transportation:
Since a new salvage yard reporting law went into effect a month ago, the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles' License and Theft Bureau has received 41 reports of stolen vehicles, stopping 22 from being sold to salvage yards and confiscating 19 following sales.
The new law requires salvage yards and metals recyclers to verify vehicle information before selling parts or crushing vehicles they buy. Of those identified, the Bureau and several local law enforcement agencies have recovered 33 vehicles and also uncovered three fictitious IDs still under investigation. Additionally, the Bureau is beginning to receive reports of illegal activities in buying and selling junked cars.
"This is a great example of how one new law has already made a big difference in a very short amount of time," said Motor Vehicles Commissioner Kelly J. Thomas. He said the number of vehicles stolen in North Carolina during 2012 totaled more than 15,876.
DMV's new North Carolina Scrap Vehicle Reporting System requires metals recyclers and salvage yards to verify whether a vehicle brought to them without a title and more than 10 model years old has been reported stolen prior to purchase. With access to the system, these recyclers can cross-reference DMV files. North Carolina salvage yards and recyclers were required to begin verifying the status of vehicles brought to them as of Dec. 1. Businesses who have not registered with the Division will be audited and are subject to felony charges if unregistered.
Passage of the law requiring the new reporting system was initiated by Rep. Tim Moore of Kings Mountain. The Carolina Auto Recycler Association and the Recycle Association of North Carolina also worked to help shape the legislation.
If a vehicle is reported stolen, the system notifies the salvage yard or recycling business to verify the vehicle identification number and stop the purchase of the vehicle. The system immediately notifies the Division's License and Theft Bureau about the stolen vehicle and the business notifies local law enforcement. If the vehicle is not reported stolen, the system will allow the sale to continue, requiring a copy or scanned image of the seller's driver license and identifying information about the vehicles to be maintained by the business.
The system will continue to check the vehicle's status for up to 30 days after the initial request. The metals recycler or salvage yard will not be held liable if the motor vehicle later turns out to be stolen.

U.S. Department of State
Spring 2011 Site ReviewPosition: Public Diplomacy Intern - Mission to the United Nations Agencies in Rome
Student: Anthropology Junior
The United States Department of State is one of the largest governmental organizations and is charged with furthering American foreign policy abroad. One mission in particular, the United States Mission to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture in Rome, Italy (USUN Rome), is the entity that oversees agricultural foreign policy operations at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the UN World Food Programme (WFP), and the UN International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
A Public Diplomacy internship at USUN Rome is a rewarding experience. PD interns work directly with the USUN Rome Public Affairs Officer. In the morning and afternoon, the intern will scan current online news clips from a wide range of trusted news outlets that report on agriculture. Topics range from food price spikes, natural disasters affecting crops, and specific regional agriculture issues around the world. This group of articles referred to "Public Diplomacy Notes" is organized into an email that is sent to USUN Rome staff, the USUN Ambassador, and Washington DC correspondents.
The intern also helps the Public Affairs Officer coordinate ongoing programs for student outreach projects in Rome. With a growing online presence and Facebook fan base, the USUN Rome PD intern is responsible for updating social media outlets for the mission with relevant articles, photo albums, and status updates to engage the viewers. At the end of every week, interns will write a summary of all public diplomacy efforts from the USUN and the specific UN agencies into a newsletter sent to Washington D.C. Interns also write speeches for the Ambassador, photograph high profile events, and interact with the Italian media.

In Tallahassee, 200 protest Zimmerman acquittal
Some 200 protesters disappointed with the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial marched early Sunday in downtown Tallahassee.
Several of those taking part in the march expressed anger that the former neighborhood watch volunteer had been cleared of all charges in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Some in the group wore hoodies. Others carried signs that said "Racism is Not Dead" and "Who's Next?"
Marchers trekked from the Tallahassee-Leon County Civic Center before halting on the steps of the historic Old Capitol building. Tallahassee police cleared the road to the Capitol complex to accommodate the marchers.
Other protests were reported in San Francisco and Atlanta.
In Miami, authorities reported no major protests after the verdict was announced late Saturday.

Application May 23, 1956, Serial No. 586,766
9 Claims. (Cl. mil-25) The present invention relates to therapeutic devices and, more particularly, to a novel therapeutic device for use in the manipulative treatment of joints of the human body.
Frequently human joints are adversely affected by illness or, accident resulting in stiffness and lack of mobility of the joint. in many cases, such malfunctioning or disability of the joint can be alleviated by proper manipulativetreatment, but relatively little use of such treatment has been made because it is diflicult to self-administer and usually has to be done frequently and over long periods of time to be effective. Even with the assistance of skilled personnel, such treatments are frequently painful and too irregular for maximum benefit.
it is an aim of this invention to provide an inexpensive light-weight portable therapeutic device which is suitable for use on any of the major joints of the body such as the Wrist, shoulder, elbow, knee or ankle and which may be operated by the patient himself to impart motion to the joint and also to exercise the ad ductor and abductor or flexor and extensor muscles of the affected joint through the application of external force.
It is another aim of this invention to provide a therapeutic device of the type described which may be used by patient to move the joint and exercise the muscles associated therewith by the use of these muscles to operate the exerciser against a preselected resistive force.
it is still another aim of this invention to provide a device of the type described which will produce the desired movements of the joint in a fully controlled manner and with visible indication of the operation so as to provide maximum therapeutic benefits, which is of simple and economical construction and comfortable to use, and which is particularly adaptable for home use with a minimum of instruction and training.
Other objects will be in part obvious, and in part pointed out more in detail hereinafter.
The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combination of elements and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in theconstruction hereafter set forth and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the appended claims.
in the drawings:
Fig. l is a perspective view of an embodiment of a joint manipulating device constructed in accordance with the invention as applied to a Wrist.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the device of Fig. 1, taken from the opposite side.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the device of Fig. l as applied to a wrist but turned 90 from the position shown in Fig. l; and
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary longitudinal cross-sectional view of the device.
The drawings and the following description describe the invention as used in connection with a Wrist joint. However, it is of course to be understood and will be readily apparent that the invention is equally applicable to any of the major joints of the body, and that the specific use of the invention described herein is for example only.
With reference to the drawings, a therapeutic device constructed in accordance with the invention is comprised of a pair of oppositely extending lever arms 10 and 11. The lever arm it has slidably mounted thereon a pair of L-shaped brackets 12 and 13. The brackets may be secured in any adjusted position longitudinally of the lever arm 10 by means of the thumb screws 14.. In the specific embodiment shown, a sling 17 adapted to cradle a forearm, as shown in dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 3, is suitably attached to the brackets 12 and 13 by means such as the screws 15. The sling is preferably padded as indicated at 17 and is provided with straps l8 and 19 to secure the forearm in the sling.
As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the lever arm 21 is pro vided with a U-shaped bracket 22 slidably mounted there on. The bracket 22 may be secured in any adjusted position longitudinally of the lever arm 11 by the thumb screw 23, and is provided with hand grips 24- on each of its legs for a purpose to be hereinafter described. In Fig. 3 a modified bracket 22a is mounted on the lever arm 11 in the same manner as the bracket 22, and is provided with a cross-piece 25 having a hand grip 24a mounted thereon. The reason for the variation in structure between the brackets 22 and 22a will be fully apparent from the description of operation of the device hereinafter appearing.
With particular reference to-Fig. 4-, the lever arm 11, in the embodiment shown, is connected to and is preferably integral with a circular plate member 28 disposed coaxially of a cup shaped casing or housing 29 having a radially extending portion 30. The radially extending portion 30 of the casing has an end portion 31 of reduced thickness having a recess 32 in which the lever arm 10 is received and retained by means such as the screw 33. A pinion 36 is disposed within the casing 29 and is fixed to a shaft 37 extending through and journaled in the casing as at 38. An operating handle 39 is secured to the shaft 37 externally of the casing 29 as by means of the setscrew 46. When it is desired;
to lock the handle 39 and hence the shaft 37 and pinion 36 against rotational movement, this is accomplished conveniently by the slide latch 4-1 which can he slid into engagement with the notch 42.
A gear engaged with the pinion 36 is disposed within the casing 29 and is rotatably mounted on a shaft 46 which is journaled in a boss 44 internally of the casing 2h. One end of the shaft 46 extends through the plate member 28 and is provided at said one end with a radially extending flange 47 received in a recess 48 in the plate member 28. The other end of the shaft 46 extends outwardly of the casing 29 and is threadably engaged with an adjusting cap nut 4?. The cap nut $9 is provided with an axially extending recess 50 in which is received a spiral spring 53 surrounding the shaft 46, the spring 53 being engaged at the other end with the casing 29. A pin 5J4 extends diametrically through the shaft 46 and is received within a slot 55 extending diametrically of the boss 44 to prevent rotation of the shaft relative to the casing during adjustment and permitting movement: of the shaft axially of the casing.
The boss 44 of casing 29 engages upon the upper side of the gear 45 while a friction member :36 is disposed between gear 45 and the plate member 23. The purpose of the friction member 56 is to provide a yieldable connection between the gear 45 and plate member 28 whose force can be varied by adjusting the cap nut 49. Since there is only a metal to metal contact of small area between boss 44 and gear 45, little frictional force is exerted between these two members. i
In the use of the device as shown in Fig. l, the lever arm it) is attached to the forearm through the use of the adjustable sling 1'!" in such position that the shaft 46 is coaxial with the pivot point of the wrist. The bracket 22. is then adjusted to receive the hand as shown. In order to condition the device for the application of an external force, the cap nut 4-9 preferably is turned down sufiiciently to prevent slippage of the gear 45 relative to the plate member although, if desired, the force of spring 53 may be adjusted by backing off the cap nut 49 to permit slippage and thus limit the maximum force which can be applied to the joint. After the device is in place, the handle or knob 39 is turned by the patient to apply force to the hand through the gearing 36, 45 and friction member 56 to the lever arm 11. As will be apparent, the bracket 22 by engagement with the hand will pivot the wrist relative to the forearm in a plane normal to the general plane of the hand. Movement of the wrist can, of course, be accomplished in either direction from the median position of the Wrist wherein the hand is aligned with the forearm. flexion of the Wrist for use in determining improvement in the condition of the joint, indicia are provided on the casing as at 60 and a pointer 61 mounted on the lever arm 11 as is most clearly seen in Fig. 2.
If it is desired to have the patient manipulate the joint by the use of the wrist muscles themselves, the slide latch 41 is moved to the locking position as shown in Fig. 2 to prevent rotation of the pinion 36. Henceforth, any movement of the lever arm 11 relative to the lever arm 10 Will be opposed by the resistance offered by the friction member 56 disposed between the gear 45 and plate member 28. As described above this resistive force of the friction member may be varied by adjustment of the adjusting cap 49 to increase or decrease the force imposed on the friction member by the gear 45 and plate member 28. To provide an indication of the resistive force opposing relative movement of the lever arms Ill and U. and thus provide a comparative indication of the improve ment in the stren th of the muscles, indicia are provided on the casing 25 as at 62 and a pointer .63 mounted on the cap 49. In the use of the device as last described, the patient grasps one of the hand grips 24 and moves his hand in a direction to exercise the flexor and extensor muscles of the wrist.
In Fig. 3 the device is illustrated as being used to pivot the wrist in the general plane of the hand. As can be seen in Fig. 3, to enable the patient to engage the lever arm 11 in a manner appropriate for this type of manipulation, a modified bracket 22a having a crosspiece, or finger grip 25 extending between the leg of the bracket is mounted on the lever arm 11. By positioning the finger grip 25 far enough out on lever arm 11, the patients fingers can encircle the finger grip and exert movement of the joint. The manner of using the device is identical with the manner described above in connection with Fig. 1 in that the lever arm 11 may be pivoted relative to the lever arm 10 either by rotation of the operating handle 31 or through the use of the muscles of the affected joint themselves.
It should be apparent that the device is suitable for use on such joints as the shoulder or knee by the provision of appropriate means on the lever arms 10 and 11 to secure the lever arms relative to the limbs on either side of the joint. Thus, it can be seen that there has been provided a joint manipulator of simple, economical construction particularly adapted to home use by a patient and which requires a minimum of skill or training to operate. The exerciser is versatile in that it may be adapted for use on all major joints of the body and is obviously rugged and capable of extended usage.
As many changes could be made in the above con struction and many apparently widely different embodiments of this invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter con- In order to indicate the amount of d tained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
It is also to be understood that the language used in the following claims is intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.

Germany coach Joachim Low turned his attention to next month's crucial 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ qualifier with Russia after a 4-0 win against Azerbaijan on Wednesday.
A win in Moscow would seal Germany's place in the finals in South Africa next summer. However, a defeat in the Russian capital would leave their fate out of their hands in the tightest group in Europe. A draw would leave Germany in pole position for qualification, but Low is not contemplating playing for a point on 10 October.
"We cannot afford to do that," he said. "We have got to try to attack and get a goal. Russia will have their chances so we have got to try to win there."
Low admitted that the league standings for Group 4 do not lie with Germany just a single point above Russia. One will claim the automatic qualifying berth for the FIFA World Cup, with the other having to go through the play-offs, and Low claims there is very little between them.
"Without a doubt they have some great individuals," Low told ZDF television. "They are on the same level as us and we have seen that in recent years, particularly at the last European Championships. It is a very important game for us and it is also very important for the Russians, but we will be very well prepared. We are not feeling the pressure yet."
Germany end their qualifying campaign against Finland on 14 October when Russia must travel to Azerbaijan, whose coach Berti Vogts was satisfied with his side's showing in Hanover against Germany.
A red card for their captain Samir Abbasov five minutes into the second half with the score still finely poised at 1-0 for the hosts was the turning point, according to the man who led Germany to their last major title at UEFA Euro 1996. "With just ten men against 11 robots, we could no longer cope," Vogts said.
With Liechtenstein picking up an unexpected point against Finland tonight, Azerbaijan have slipped to the bottom of the group and Vogts has promised to try and correct that situation while doing his home nation a favour next month when Russia arrive in Azerbaijan, although he is convinced Germany can qualify off their own back anyway.
"Maybe we will give Russia a hard time in Baku," Vogts said. "But I don't think Germany need any help. They are so strong and have a great balance and I have to congratulate Joachim Low on the team he has."

Small Business Saturday in Madison saw an extra several thousand potential shoppers on the streets, thanks to the Badgers' final home game.
Whether that additional foot traffic benefits local shops, though, is up in the air.
Mary Carbine, executive director for Madison Central Business Improvement District, says every home game brings big business to small shops in the State Street area.
"What is so much a part of the Badger game experience for many people is visiting State Street and the Capitol square," Carbine said. "Badger athletics is terrific for downtown business and downtown shopping."
The outlook is a little different several blocks away, on Monroe Street. Carol 'Orange' Schroeder, the owner of Orange Tree Imports, says she would prefer home games don't fall on the same Saturday as the first big shopping weekend of the holiday season.
Numerous construction projects in and around Madison are prompting state transportation officials to ask fans to expect delays getting to Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday.
Work on the Beltline will be on hold for five hours before and after the game, but lane shifts, ramp closures and reduced speeds are still likely to cause delays. Alternate routes are also likely to have extra game day traffic.
The game kicks off at 11 a.m.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation recommends motorists plan for additional time to get to their destination.
State highway projects in the greater Madison area include:
Madison Beltline
· Lane shifts in both directions between Middleton and I-39/90
· US 14 ramp to westbound Beltline is open
University of Wisconsin police are reminding residents and visitors of possible delays on Badger football game days.
Close to 100,000 people head to downtown Madison to cheer on the Badgers on game day, and officials are reminding residents and visitors to give themselves extra time to get around.
In addition to Badger game day traffic, thousands will be in Madison this weekend for Ironman, which takes place on Sunday.
UWPD officials said some items are not allowed inside Camp Randall Stadium, including bags larger than 8.5 inches by 11 inches, food, beverages, containers, strollers, umbrellas, flags, banners, signs, inflatables, noisemakers, laser pointers and weapons.
Gates will open an hour and a half before kick-off, and spectators should enter the stadium using the gate number printed on their ticket, authorities said.
Meet Craig and Sherry Barnsley of Madison, who are one of several families in the area that have a Madison Mallards baseball player staying with them for a few months.
Looking to do some swimming or hanging out on the beach this holiday weekend? Madison Park Regional beaches will be open for those looking to enjoy the lakes over Memorial weekend. Lifeguard services are scheduled for this weekend, but are subject to change due to cool or rainy weather.
