Mustangs ready to enjoy comforts of home
MSU men to play home opener tonight
After trailing at halftime in the past four games, Midwestern State coach Nelson Haggerty is still waiting to see his Mustangs "play a full game."
And what better place to see that happen than the friendly confines of D.L. Ligon Coliseum.
MSU is 60-2 in its last 65 games played and currently has an 18-game win streak under the home dome.
The Mustangs are 5-2 overall and a co-leader with Eastern New Mexico in the Lone Star Conference at 2-0, despite not playing a regular season game at home this season.
MSU will play its home opener at 7:30 tonight against No. 25 West Texas A&M, 7-1 overall and 1-1 in the LSC.
"I am tired of that bus," Haggerty said. "It was good for us to get away from home, but I am anxious to finally play in front of our fans.
"We are still trying to figure out how to play a 40-minute game. We know that we are going to start facing better teams."
The Mustangs have seen WT play four games this year in classics at Southwestern Oklahoma and Colorado State-Pueblo. WT's only loss was 59-58 to Abilene Christian in an LSC home game back on Nov. 28.
"They are a typical West Texas team. They are strong and tough and have most of their starters back," Haggerty said. "They have Donald Sims, the conference's preseason player of the year. They also return shooting guard Tex Dumars and Kennon Washington."
Sims, a 6-foot-5 senior forward, averages 14.8 points and eight rebounds, both team highs.
Dumars, a 6-2 sophomore guard, averages 10 points a game and Mason White 6-3 senior guard, averages 9.6.
But the real strength of the Buffaloes is their defense. They rank No. 3 in NCAA Division II scoring defense, allowing just 55.1 points per game. Only two teams have scored more than 60 points on them.
Keith Spellman, a 6-2 sophomore guard who was the LSC player of the week this week, leads MSU with 16.1 points per game.
Corbin Thomas, a 6-6 senior forward, averages 11.7 points and seven rebounds. Returnee Kevin Grayer, a 6-3 senior guard, averages 11.6 points, and 6-0 junior point guard Monzaigo Williams averages 10.3 points and 6.9 assists.

One of the top and most respected offensive line coaches in all of college football, Rick Trickett will enter his eighth season at Florida State and his 41st overall in 2014. He is nationally recognized for his ability to identify, recruit and develop talent. The 2013 season proved that Trickett was not only one of the top offensive line coaches in the nation, but one of the best assistant coaches in college football as the Seminole offensive line served as the foundation for the highest scoring offense in college football history and an undefeated national championship season. All five offensive line starters earned all-conference honors and three Seminole linemen captured All-America honors.
Trickett's standout offensive line paved the way for the Seminoles to have the most prolific offense in the country in 2013 and capture the BCS National Championship en route to a perfect 14-0 season. Behind redshirt senior center Bryan Stork, redshirt junior left tackle Cameron Erving, junior left guard Josue Matias, junior right guard Tre' Jackson and junior right tackle Bobby Hart, FSU set school and ACC records for single-season total offense (7,267 yards), points per game (51.6) and yards per play (7.67) and the national record for points (723) and also led the nation in touchdowns (94). FSU set the ACC and school records for total touchdowns, passing touchdowns (42) and the school record for rushing touchdowns (42). Florida State ranked first in the ACC and sixth in the nation in total offense (519.1). With the nation's top offensive line providing protection and opening holes, Florida State rushed for 2,844 yards (5.6 ypc), while passing for 4,423 yards, helping first-year quarterback Jameis Winston (4,057 yards, 40 touchdowns) win countless awards and become the youngest player ever to win the Heisman Trophy. In addition, Trickett's offensive line created running lanes for tailback Devonta Freeman to become the first Seminole since 1996 to gain 1,000 yards rushing. Freeman, an All-ACC First Team selection, finished with 1,016 yards (5.9 ypc) and 14 touchdowns on the ground and was joined in the rushing attack by Karlos Williams (730 yards, 8.0 ypc, 11 TDs), a converted safety, and James Wilder, Jr. (563 yards, 7.0 ypc, 8 TDs), who was an All-ACC Honorable Mention honoree.
All five offensive line starters collected postseason awards in 2013, led by Stork who captured consensus All-America honors and won the Rimington Trophy given to the nation's top center. Stork became the second Trickett-coached player to earn the Rimington, joining 2006 winner Dan Mozes of West Virginia. In addition to his numerous All-America accolades that included first team honors from the Football Writers Association of America and the Associated Press, Stork nabbed All-ACC First Team honors from the media and coaches. Erving also hauled in numerous awards in just his second year as an offensive lineman. The former defensive tackle won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy given to the ACC's top offensive lineman by a vote from league coaches and also was tabbed an All-American by countless outlets including USA Today (First Team), Associated Press (Second Team) and Walter Camp (Second Team). The Seminoles have won the Jacobs Trophy three times in the last five years, as Rodney Hudson captured the honor in 2009 and 2010. Erving joined Stork and Jackson on both the coaches and media All-ACC First Team. Jackson also garnered CBSSports.com All-America Second Team and Sport Illustrated Honorable Mention All-America accolades. Matias nabbed All-ACC Second Team honors from the coaches and Third Team mention from the media, while Hart was an All-ACC Honorable Mention selection.
Stork was selected in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft (No. 105 overall) by the New England Patriots. He joins recent Trickett protégés Menelik Watson (Oakland Raiders) and Hudson (Kansas City Chiefs) on NFL rosters.
Trickett has coached 10 All-American offensive linemen in his storied career at some of the nation's top schools, including FSU's trio of stars in 2013 and Hudson, who earned the distinction from the Football Writers Association of America in 2009 and was a unanimous All-American selection in 2010. He has been nominated for the Frank Broyles Award twice (2006, 2009) which goes to the nation's top assistant coach.
The 2012 season was FSU's most productive offensive season until the 2013 campaign and Trickett's offensive line was vital to Florida State's success. The Seminoles set a then-FSU record with 6,591 yards of total offense and surpassed 500 yards of total offense six times behind a front line in which all five starters captured all-conference honors. Florida State rolled to its first ACC title since 2005 and an Orange Bowl victory behind Erving (All-ACC Second Team), Stork (All-ACC Second Team), Jackson (All-ACC Second Team), Watson (All-ACC Honorable Mention) and Matias (All-ACC Honorable Mention). Florida State ranked second in the ACC in rushing offense (206.21) and third in total offense (471.50) and scoring offense (39.29). In the nation, FSU was 24th in rushing offense, 19th in total offense and 10th in scoring. The Florida State offensive line allowed EJ Manuel to wrap up an impressive career as he passed for 3,392 yards and 23 touchdowns en route to All-ACC Second Team honors. Manuel was the first quarterback selected in the 2013 NFL Draft (16th overall) by the Buffalo Bills. In addition to Manuel, Florida State's running backs enjoyed tremendous success in 2012. The Seminoles' rushing attack by committee produced a new school record for rushing touchdowns with 40 and tallied 2,882 yards on the ground at a 5.6 per carry clip. Senior Chris Thompson (687 yards, five touchdowns) and sophomores Freeman (660 yards, eight scores) and Wilder, Jr. (635 yards, 11 scores) all eclipsed the 600-yard mark, while senior fullback Lonnie Pryor added eight touchdowns and Manuel produced four scores. FSU's front line proved it could open holes for anybody as an unprecedented five different Seminoles rushed for 100 yards or more in a game, capped by Pryor's 134-yard, two-touchdown MVP performance in the Orange Bowl.
FSU's lack of experience on the offensive line made the 2012 season's success even more impressive as only Stork had more than one start among the front five heading into the season. Erving spent his first two seasons as a defensive lineman before switching to offensive line, while Watson, a former collegiate basketball player from Manchester, England, had never played a down of NCAA Division I football. Jackson and Matias picked up their first starts against Notre Dame in the 2011 Champs Sports Bowl. Trickett was able to turn a question mark into an FSU strength in 2012 and helped develop Watson from an unknown prospect into a second round pick (No. 42 overall) by the Oakland Raiders in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Trickett's abilities to mold a unit were tested by injuries during 2011. The extended losses of seniors Andrew Datko and David Spurlock led FSU to start seven different offensive line combinations. No single group was together in the same position for more than three consecutive games. However, Trickett's group still managed to produce an All-ACC first team selection in senior Zebrie Sanders, a freshman All-American in Bobby Hart and two NFL draft picks. Sanders ended up being a fifth round pick of the Buffalo Bills. Datko, who was headed for a solid senior campaign, was selected in the seventh round by the Green Bay Packers. Trickett's handy work in crafting offensive lines really came to light in the 2011 Champs Sports Bowl. His young starting line featuring four true freshmen overcame a four-sack first half, settled down and held off a good Notre Dame defensive line to help FSU rally from a 14-0 deficit as the Seminoles won 18-14.
In 2010, Trickett's line featured second round NFL draft pick Rodney Hudson. Hudson became one of the most decorated offensive linemen in school and ACC history, earning unanimous first team All-American honors in 2010. Hudson was one of three finalists for the Outland Trophy, won his second consecutive Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the ACC's most dominant lineman and was only the second lineman in league history to be selected All-ACC four times. Trickett's unit led the way for three Seminole running backs who gained more than 400 yards rushing on the ground. It was only the sixth time in FSU history that a trio gained more than 400 yards in a season. Center Ryan McMahon finished his career as the all-time leader in career starts (53) after Trickett converted the defensive tackle into a mainstay on the offensive line for four years.
In 2009, Trickett's unit allowed just 20 sacks - the fewest by an FSU team since 1997 - as the Noles averaged 271.8 yards a game through the air. In 2008, the Noles averaged 179.1 yards a game on the ground; the best by an FSU team since 2002. All five Florida State starting offensive linemen in 2009 were nominated for All-ACC honors by opposing league coaches, marking a first in Trickett's distinguished career.
Four FSU linemen - Hart, Hudson, McMahon and Datko - garnered Freshman All-American honors while playing for Trickett. He has coached 17 players that have been named either first or second team freshmen All-Americans.
Trickett's track record for developing strong units quickly transferred to Florida State as the Seminoles improved its per game rushing yards average by more than 70 yards after two seasons. After one season at West Virginia, the Mountaineer running game improved from 35th in the nation to second in 2002. From 2002-2006, West Virginia finished among the top 15 rushing offenses and three times were among the top five nationally.
In 2006 as the offensive line coach at West Virginia, the Mountaineers were second in the nation in rushing, third in scoring offense and fifth in total offense. Only two other schools in the previous 10 years had finished in the top five of each of those categories.
At Auburn, he coached four linemen - Wayne Gandy, Willie Anderson, Victor Riley and Kendall Simmons - who were selected in the first round of the NFL Draft.
More than 30 players Trickett has coached have gone on to play in the NFL and more than 35 players have won all-conference honors, including four of his five linemen at West Virginia in 2005 and 2006 and all five Seminole starters in 2012 and 2013. At LSU in 2000, three of his players earned All-SEC honors.
Trickett earned his undergraduate degree in 1972 from Glenville (W.Va.), where he was an all-conference strong safety. He received his master's degree from Indiana (Pa.) in 1975.
Trickett is a U.S. Marine Corps and Vietnam War veteran.
Trickett released a book in 2012. "Complete Offensive Line" is a comprehensive guide to the techniques, drills and game strategies necessary to develop an effective offensive front.
The Tricketts have been a fixture on the FSU campus since Rick's 2007 arrival in Tallahassee. Two of Tara and Rick's sons have been involved in the football program with Travis serving as an offensive graduate assistant in 2010 after serving as a videographer. He received his master's degree from FSU and is now the co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Samford. Clint spent three years as a quarterback for the Noles and graduated with a degree in social science. He has continued his football and academic career at West Virginia. Chance graduated in spring 2011 with his bachelor's degree.

All non-union Luzerne County government employees must work at least 37.5 per week effective Jan. 2, and the administration will attempt to negotiate the change into union contracts as they expire, county council decided Tuesday.
Full-time county employees currently work anywhere from 32.5 to 40 hours a week depending on the position and department.
Most non-union workers at the courthouse follow a schedule of 32.5 hours, but non-union prison staffers are at 35 hours. Human service non-union employees have been at 37.5 hours for years.
County Manager Robert Lawton has vowed to streamline and reduce staff to compensate for paying some employees to work more.
Council had planned to make the new directive effective within 30 days but changed to Jan. 2 to allow Lawton more time to develop a plan and factor changes into the 2014 budget.
Lawton announced Tuesday he has appointed deputy budget/finance director Donna Magni the interim budget/finance division head because senior accountant Brian Swetz isn't permitted to serve in the temporary division head post for more than 90 days. Swetz was made interim budget head in June.
Magni, who has a bachelor's degree in accounting, was hired as deputy in February 2011 at $40,000 and won't receive an increase to handle the temporary division head duties.
She will be instrumental in preparation of the 2014 budget because Lawton expects the yet-to-be-hired professional recruiter to be seeking budget/finance division head applicants through Nov. 15.
Chief Solicitor C. David Pedri told council the emails council members send to each other will be publicly posted on the county website, www.luzernecounty.org, starting Oct. 1.
Council members pushed for the online posting, which occurs in some Florida counties but is unusual in Pennsylvania, to increase transparency.
The move also will eliminate the need to process Right-to-Know requests for these emails. Pedri told council candidate Kathy Dobash on Tuesday his office spent $10,000 reviewing about 30,000 emails to comply with her request last spring for all emails exchanged by council members since January 2012.
Pedri also announced plans to start publicly posting all Right-to-Know requests and the information provided in response on the county website by the end of the month. His office has received about 140 public information requests this year to date, and Pedri said the online posting will give all citizens access to the information supplied by his office.
Councilman Edward Brominski complained Tuesday that newly appointed Controller Walter Mitchell is still operating his insurance and financial estate planning firm outside county business hours. Brominski said the council-adopted administrative code says the controller cannot have other outside employment.
Pedri said the county's home rule charter does not ban the controller from other outside employment, and the charter supersedes the administrative code if the two conflict. He said he will provide an opinion to council on the matter.
Mitchell was recently appointed to fill the rest of Walter Griffith's term until the controller elected in November takes office in January.

1797 16 Stars Draped Bust Dime, MS641797 10C 16 Stars MS64 NGC. JR-1, R.4. The 1797 Draped Bust, Small Eagle dime claims a mintage of 25,261 pieces, but the authors of Early United States Dimes 1796-1837 believe 10,244 of these dimes were actually dated 1796. The 1797 dimes are seen less than half as often as their 1796 counterparts. Of the remaining 15,017 examples, it is thought the JR-1 variety, with the 16 Stars obverse, probably accounts for 9,099 pieces, about 40% of the reported mintage figure. While VF and XF specimens can be located with a little patience, Mint State examples are very rare. Experts estimate a half dozen or so Mint State examples of JR-1 are extant. Allowing for resubmissions and crossovers, population data from the grading services coincides well with this rarity estimate. Currently, NGC has graded three coins in MS64, with three finer, while PCGS has certified no specimen at the Choice level, with three coins in higher numeric grades (11/10).This is the first time Heritage has been privileged to handle a 1797 16 Stars dime in MS64.
Possible Condition Census Example
Scarce JR-1 Variety
Possible Condition Census Example
Scarce JR-1 Variety
The 16 obverse stars on the JR-1 1797 dime indicate this variety was the first die marriage struck with this date. The 16 stars reflect the admission of Tennessee to the Union as the 16th state. Mint officials realized it would be impractical to continue adding a star to the design every time a state was admitted, so the JR-2 dies reverted to the original practice of including only 13 stars on the obverse. All JR-1 specimens display a prominent die crack from the edge near star 2 , above the date, through the bust, to the edge near star 1.
The present coin is a rare Choice Mint State example, with iridescent gold and violet toning over prooflike reflective fields. The devices are sharply detailed in most areas, with a little softness on the obverse stars and the eagle's breast. Visual appeal is strong on this historically interesting specimen, which is a realistic candidate for Condition Census status.(Registry values: P7) (NGC ID# 236C, PCGS# 4462)

Texas Tech Senior
40: 4.87
Has good size and nice arm strength to make all of the throws. Steps up and can deliver the ball with zip over the middle and fit some tight windows on the slant. Shows some anticipation on some of his throws. Able to go to his second read and through his progressions at times, and can make the checkdown throw. Shows some ability to pick up yards with his legs when the pass breaks down. Can step up his play in the fourth quarter.
His accuracy can be erratic, probably due to iffy mechanics and footwork. Working out of the shotgun makes him a catch and release guy, and doesn't really do a lot of work shifting his weight and tends to be a flat-footed guy. Will throw off his back foot, particularly when blitzed or pressured. Has a bit of an elongated release, at times dipping the ball a bit on a windup and at other times having a bit of a three-quarters release. Leads to inconsistency on how much velocity is on the ball when it leaves his hand. Not that comfortable when you force him to move around the pocket or extend the play outside of it, as he is not that good when throwing on the run. Doesn't really have the big arm to fit all the tight windows. Will force some passes. Doesn't make a lot of throws down the field and inconsistent with his touch there.
Potts has NFL-caliber tools with nice size, smarts, and arm strength. But he needs his mechanics, footwork, and release tweaked or re-tooled to really think he's going to be an effective NFL passer coming from Texas Tech's wide-open spread offense. He makes a lot of easy throws in it on outs, comebacks, and hitches, and isn't super accurate with those throws. Even if he is developed, he's probably more of an NFL backup than a guy that can be a starter. As a junior, he led the team to a 6-4 record as a starter, having missed time due to concussion midseason. He finished the year, completing 65.7% of his 470 attempts for 3440 yards, 22 TDs, and 13 INTs. Started all but 1 game as senior, leading them to a 7-5 record. But the start he missed, he returned at halftime and led them to a comeback win over Missouri (meaning he was effectively 8-5 as a starter). Finished year with 67% completions on 551 attempts for 3726 yards, 35 TDs, and 10 INTs.
Getting used to playing in a dropback pro-style offense is going to take time for him to develop. Teams will have the tweak and refine his mechanics all the while. He does show some ability with his footwork when he drops back on 3-step drops out of the shotgun, but his footwork is going to need some work there. His accuracy isn't that great. I think it can improve with some mechanical work, but it won't ever be great. He just misses on too many easy throws from time to time. He has a nice arm, but like he did in college, the NFL offense he plays in will likely have to rely heavily on the short passing game. He just doesn't have the accuracy and arm strength that you want him throwing the ball 20+ yards down the field on a regular basis. He's a bit too erratic for my tastes. I think he's smart and capable enough that if he can get comfortable in an offense, he can make a capable No. 2 starter down the road, but he's just doesn't seem to have the "it" about him to make me think he has much of any upside as a starter. And because of his development time, he might have trouble sticking early on because many teams won't really have the patience for a guy without starter's upside. So unless a team is prepared to let him sit for three or so years as the No. 3 guy, he's not a great fit for everyone. The bottom line is that Potts can play in the NFL, but there's nothing special about him to make you think that he will.
Potts is a decent option as a fourth arm for the Falcons. He's not really a threat to take Wilson's job, and probably is only a marginal candidate for the practice squad due to his lacking upside. But he could bolster competition and at least give the Falcons something else to look at this summer. If he did land a practice squad spot he could assume the No. 3 role next year with the hope that in three or so years he could replace Wilson as the No. 2. But he's definitely not an upgrade.
Only for a team that really wants a long-term clipboard holder is POtts worth a look at the end of the seventh round. Otherwise, he's only an undrafted candidate.

"Heavy metal" (often referred to simply as metal) is a subgenre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion and extended guitar solos. Allmusic states that "of all rock & roll's myriad forms, heavy metal is the most extreme in terms of volume, machismo, and theatricality."

What kind of pet do all y'all have, and what makes them so cool?
I have two dogs, brother and sisiter, both Welsh tri-colored corgis, whose names are Ricky and Lucy. Ricky is awesome because he has one o' those laid back surfer type attitudes. If he could wear sunglasses, thy would fit him perfectly . Lucy on the other hand can be a bit of an itch with a "B" :devil: , but when shes, not shes the biggest sweetheart in the world and you cant help but pick her up and snuggle her. Ricky likes to play alot, and hes awesome. But so is Lucy, and I've gone and rambled myself into a corner now.
How about YOU?

Deep Fried Shrimp Balls
|Peeled and deveined raw shrimp
|1 Pound
|Egg whites
|Ground pork fat/Blanched fatty bacon
|3 Ounce
|Tapioca starch
|1 Tablespoon
|1 Teaspoon
|Pepper white
|1⁄8 Teaspoon
|Chinese rice wine
|1 Tablespoon
|Ginger root piece
|1⁄2 Inch (Fresh)
|Peanut oil/Vegetable oil
|2 Cup (32 tbs) (For Deep Frying)
|Szechuan peppercorn
|2 Tablespoon
|Coarse salt
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
Use a cleaver or a food processor to chop the raw shrimps into a fine paste.
Beat the egg whites until foamy; add the ground pork fat and beat together for about 2 minutes.
Add the ground shrimp, tapioca starch, salt, pepper, and wine.
Squeeze out the ginger juice into the shrimp mixture with a garlic press.
Mix well. (This shrimp paste can be kept covered in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.)
Heat a wok very hot.
Add oil and heat over medium heat.
With your left hand, take a handful of the shrimp paste and squeeze your fingers into a fist.
A ball about the size of a walnut will spurt from between your thumb and forefinger.
With your right hand, use a measuring tablespoon dipped in cold water (to prevent sticking) to scoop up the shrimp ball and drop it into the hot oil.
Repeat until you have made all the balls.
Fry about 2 minutes or until they float to the top and become fluffy.
Turn the balls to fry evenly.
Do not overcook (overfrying will shrink the shrimp balls).
Transfer the balls to a paper lined plate to drain.
Serve hot with peppercorn salt.
To make the peppercorn salt, heat salt and Szechuan peppercorn in a dry pan over low heat.
Stir until the salt is brown and the peppercorn is dark and smells good.
Let cool, then crush with the wooden handle of the cleaver or grind in a blender.
Strain through a fine sieve.
This keeps well in a tightly covered bottle.

The great thing about Max Payne 3's multiplayer is that, after a match, you get some interesting statistics on how you and your competition played. Among these statistics is a cardboard cutout with bullet holes, which models where your shots tend to land. I assume this is so players can work on their headshots and accuracy. For me, it's a great piece of evidence for why I should never handle a firearm in real life.
This game is fun.

ORANGE – Four intersections along the BNSF rail line at the border of Anaheim and Placentia will close for 12 hours – from 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4, to 6 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 5.

Waters' reform would unwind GSEs

Waters' reform would unwind GSEs
Maxine Waters
March 28, 2014 – House Financial Services Committee Ranking Member Maxine Waters, D-Calif., has released her own housing finance reform blueprint on the heels of another discussion draft recently put out by Senate Banking Chairman Tim Johnson, D-S.D., and Ranking Member Mike Crapo, R-Idaho.
Waters' plan would replace the government-sponsored agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with a new lender cooperative that would issue government-backed securities eligible for a federal government guarantee. It would also establish a new regulator – the National Mortgage Finance Administration – which would oversee Federal Home Loan Banks and establish a Mortgage Insurance Fund to provide a federal guarantee for mortgages that meet certain criteria.
The House Financial Services Committee has already taken up and passed House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling's, R-Texas, comprehensive GSE reform bill – the "Protecting American Taxpayers and Homeowners (PATH) Act," H.R. 2767.
NAFCU continues to meet with key Congressional aides on both sides of the aisle to ensure credit unions' access to the secondary mortgage market and fair pricing based on loan quality are included in any proposal put forward. NAFCU has
also been in close contact
with the White House and various administration officials.

When you buy a TV stand you want a piece of furniture that fits within and compliments your personal style. Wayfair has a zillion options that will let you find the perfect flat screen TV stand for your home. When you're shopping our amazing selection be sure to consider these additional elements that are key to any TV stand purchase:
TV & Stand Size: The minimum width and depth of your TV stand is going to be determined by the TV that it will hold. Flat screen TVs are thin enough to work with just about any depth, but old CRT TVs will require a much deeper TV stand. With flat screen TVs the depth of your stand is determined by personal preference rather than requirements of the TV. Measure out the space on your wall, or compare against existing furniture to get a sense for the amount of space you want the stand to occupy.
The width of your TV stand will depend not just on the width of your TV, but also on whether you intend to display other decor on the stand, or use it as a place to set down keys or mail when you get home. At a minimum, a TV stand needs to be wider than the base of the TV -- and for flat screen TVs that base is typically quite small, much smaller than the actual TV width. Many people prefer a TV stand that is substantially wider than the total width of a TV, leaving room for decor. Keep in mind that the stated TV dimensions are measuring diagonally from corner to corner -- so a 46" TV is not actually 46" wide!
Height: The ideal height for a TV stand depends mostly on the kind of seating in the room where the TV will live, as well as the height of viewers. Low to the floor couches will call for shorter TV stands, while taller seating will need a equally tall stand. As a rule of thumb, the bottom third of the TV screen should be at eye level when viewers are seated. Also note if there will be any obstructions between seating and the screen -- tall decor on a coffee table or multiple rows of seating could necessitate a taller TV stand.
Storage: In addition to supporting your TV and looking good, TV stands often double as useful storage. The most simple TV stands usually include at least a shelf to hold a DVD player and other electronics that are typically connected to a TV. But larger TV stands can include multiple shelves to store DVD collections, cabinets to conceal electronics, or drawers and other cubbies to provide convenient storage for the living room.
Wayfair Tip!: If you're looking for a simple and basic TV stand, consider checking out Console Tables for a lower cost but still attractive TV stand option.

According to Jim Duquette, who contributes for both MLB Network Radio and MLB.com, says that Francona will indeed interview for the job on Friday.

Monarch calls for Sovereign National Conference
Lagos monarch, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to fulfill his campaign promises to Lagosians who voted massively for him in the last presidential election.
He lamented that Lagos State had been neglected by successive administrations, urging the federal government to accord the state a special status.
The traditional ruler also spoke on the security situation in the country, charging Nigerians to assist the federal government in halting the tragedy of Boko Haram. He said the activities of Boko haram are not in the best interest of the country, adding that the motivation may not be the desire to attack adherents of religious faiths. Akiolu urged Nigerians to furnish security agencies with useful information to tackle insecurity.
The monarch lauded President Jonathan for launching the 'almajinri education', saying that it is a right step in the right direction.
Akiolu said: "Whether we like it or not, there is the need for a Sovereign National Conference. We should sit down and discuss how things can be better in this country. We should have even development. When I call for special status for Lagos, there is a reason for it. The pressure on infrastructural facilities is too much. They should give us our dues. Look at the condition of Apapa/Osodi road. If we have light, water and good road, everybody will be happy, and the level of poverty will be drastically reduced.
Akinolu said: "When the first lady Patience Jonathan came to my palace, I told her that all the political promises made to Lagosians by the God-chosen President of Nigeria have not been redeemed. Agreement is agreement and a man of honour and integrity must always keep his promises".
The royal father said only good governance can spare the country of ethnic sentiment, adding that Nigerians would not care about the state of origin of any President, if the system is made to work.
He said political leanings do no matter to him, if those in power are able to satisfy the yearnings of the electorate.
