21 Club: Exceptional Dining Experience
The "21 Club" has a long history and the décor will attest to that. With its extensive collection of "toys" gifts from patrons, you are transported to the a time when the restaurant was the playground of the "Industrial" giants.
Find yourself enjoying a cocktail at the Cocktail Lounge while you wait for you table. The atmosphere is very classy but none pretentious.
Our evening started with a wonderful cocktail at the Cocktail Lounge while our table was being prepared. From the moment we entered 21 Club we were treated like royalty. The Maitre D escorted us to the table and the waiter was very happy to serve us. He started the evening with his suggestions of cocktails.
Attire/Dress Code
Gentlemen are required to wear a jacket for lunch and jacket with tie for dinner. Denim and sneakers are not permitted.
This is a total dinning experience that you should not rush, and the "21 Club" does not push you to finish your meal, and allows you to sit as long as you wish at your table after you have completed your meal and will only bring you the check once you have asked for it.
After dinner, we decided to have another cocktail at the Cocktail Lounge. The manager approached us and asked if we wanted our picture taken and found a wonderful location to take the photo. He informed us that we were welcome to stay as long as we wanted, but that his bartender had to go home, so he had to close the tab, but if we wanted another cocktail, he would prepare it himself.
Overall I would say that this was a wonderful, exciting dining experience which I hope to repeat during a very special upcoming event.

21 Club: A Great Place for a Celebratory Drink-The Bar Room
This place has a very historic feel. Once you enter the small courtyard from the NYC sidewalk you are transformed back into an old 'speakeasy'.
The first thing you'll notice is the 32 (yep not 21) jockeys decorating the front facade and adorning the stairs and the balcony. This will intrigue you, once you enter the legendary Bar Room you will enjoy the comfort and imagine what is was like back in the early days when the likes of Humphrey Bogart frequented often.
The walls are full of pictures and the ceiling is full of model planes. You won't know where to direct your eyes. Take in the 21 Club and all its rich legacy!
Don't forget to take really cool matches that sport a big '21' on the matchbox cover.

2014 ACM Awards Performers Announced
Looking good, Las Vegas! Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban are just two of the huge country acts confirmed as performers for the 2014 ACM Awards in Sin City this April.
Looking good, Las Vegas! Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban are just two of the huge country acts confirmed as performers for the 2014 ACM Awards in Sin City this April.
Keith Urban's love of fashion is helping him expand his name even further than country music and 'American Idol.' His admiration for "cool, interesting t-shirts" has inspired the Australian to start his very own T-shirt line!
For the first time, the massively popular iTunes Festival will be coming to the U.S., and some of country's biggest stars are already lined up to perform! Keith Urban and Willie Nelson make the 2014 lineup, with lots more to be announced in the coming weeks.
Keith Urban doesn't always follow the rules. Lately, the Australian superstar has even gotten in trouble on 'American Idol' -- so much so that he has to have his outfits pre-approved!
Country's own Keith Urban has upped the bar on what it means to be romantic -- and all the gents out there better be taking notes! The star's wife of more than 6 years, Nicole Kidman, attests that the singer is not only incredibly good-looking, he's also super romantic.
Fifty years after the original British invasion, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley and others helped celebrate with a Grammy Beatles tribute.
Keith Urban's 'Cop Car' video literally plays out the words to the song about falling in love in the back of a cop car.
Country music shined at the 2014 Grammys, with nine of Nashville's top singers taking the stage to sing and play guitar. Collaborations and solo performances from artists like Keith Urban, Blake Shelton and Hunter Hayes were among the night's best, but what was the best moment?
Keith Urban let his emotions show during a mass wedding performed by rapper Queen Latifah at the 2014 Grammys on Sunday night (Jan. 26).
'American Idol' judge Keith Urban and Grammy winner Gary Clark, Jr. took to the 2014 Grammys stage for an electric performance of 'Cop Car' on Sunday night (Jan. 26).
Keith Urban is a bit of a musical anomaly. While the country community firmly embraces the singer and guitarist, there are critics that consider him both a pop and a rock artist. He's a lot of things to a lot of music fans, but terms, categories and definitions don't carry much weight for Urban and he isn't sitting around thinking about how he should be labeling himself. For him, it's a state of mind.
Keith Urban and his fellow Season 13 'American Idol' judges added to their very busy week when they dropped by 'Ellen' to discuss all the fun they've been having and how big of fans they are of each other.

Explaining things to people...
Gotta vent, and perhaps get some advice on how to deal with this issue (or if anyone wants to share some stories that they want to vent out).
How do people here deal with having to tell others--"outsiders"--why they should take your advice on something? In other words, how to defend your stance? I'm (currently) the sole 3D artist at a small consulting company (that , in majority, has nothing to do with art or animation or anything of the like), so, I'm constantly having to explain things to people with limited to no experience with animation (especially 3D animation). I'm sure everyone here, especially the freelancers, deal with this sort of stuff all the time. I'm sure people have dealt with someone asking for a change, and you tell them that it will take time to do, and they ask why it will take so much time, etc. etc. Got any tips on not necessarily dealing with those people, because we will always have to, but on dealing with yourself so you don't implode?

What do you have to explain? Is it directly realated to what you or the company is doing at the moment, or just in general 3d stuff?
If it's directly work related then the first thing you should do is think about your opinion and why you think it is right. Now the next step is that you to explain that your opinion is good because it is beneficial to the boss/company/coworker.
If it's not work related then it should not matter for your job. But if people keep refering to you as a walking 3d stuff dictionary politely explain that this won't work.
If you boss wants to know why a change does take so much time then show him. It could be worth it (for you) to show it once (even if it takes some free time) so he can understand why it takes so long. When people have no background information on how things work then they can't comprehend the amout of time that is needed. There is no correlation between time/work and the finished product. Another idea would be to look for some CG films (Pixar stuff) and look for useful behind the scenes features that show the work. That could create the product-work correlation. Show some of these to your boss. If I remember correctly there are some funny interview online with Pixar PS people who show the Pixar server farm to visitors. That would be a little explanation for the rendering time needed, show some features about the work and you should be done with explaining. Pictures can be very good for explaining things.

Use their language; if they're execs, talk in numbers, hours of work, percentages, facts. If they're anyone else wanting to understand what you do, use analogies they can understand. If they're engineers, good luck! Seriously now, it took me a while to find the language switch when talking with computer engineers. It's doable but only if both parties try.
As Mario said, it would help if you gave us an example.

Hey guys,
Thanks for your input.
Every so often I get these bouts where I can't effectively communicate. I think I was just having one of those days on Monday.
There's that, plus I think the issue was just me not wanting to do something that was being asked of me, and I was getting frustrated because I couldn't come up with a good reason why I shouldn't. Basically, I was asked to do some renders so the other people involved in the project could see where I was at in terms of progress, and I didn't really want to do that, I just kind of wanted to keep working on it.
There's a little more to it than that, but I can't really get into it right now, I have to get back to work.

I usually first tell them that I am the 3d artist and I'm an honest person. Also that I calculate stuff out of my own basis. In other words, my way or the highway. That usually makes them listen. Never patrionize them, they'll just be offended.

Is organic chicken worth the price?

- | single page
Free-range chickens stand in their coop at Grassington Farm, near Lewes in southern England. (Luke MacGregor / Reuters)
Just because a chicken is labeled "organic" does not mean that the bird on your plate lived a bucolic farm life before you cooked it.
To officially be called "organic," the animal must be fed organic food (grown with no pesticides), receive no antibiotics and be given access to the outdoors.
While a whole, generic store-brand chicken typically costs about $1.50 per pound, the price for organic chicken is $2.69 a pound at Trader Joe's, the U.S. grocery chain, and $4.99 per pound from online grocer Fresh Direct. Whole Foods sells boneless, skinless organic chicken breasts for $8.99 per pound. And it's not unusual to pay more than $10 per pound for similar organic chicken breasts at upscale butcher shops.
So what's behind the cost of organic chicken? Are you getting what you think you are paying a premium for?
Beyond the label "organic," chicken packages that purport to be more natural than ordinary chicken could carry any of the following terms: natural, antibiotic-free, farm-raised, fresh, cage-free, hormone-free and free-range. The U.S. Department of Agriculture imposed some rules on the use of these terms.
However, the range of possibilities is broad, and the various distinctions can be "bastardized," says Ariane Daguin, founder of D'Artagnan, a high-end meat company.
It's one thing to have "free-range" chickens living in a crowded pen with a small, open gate, and quite another to have a spacious environment with considerable outdoor access for the birds, she says.
That's because some of the label terms are of little value to consumers.
* "Natural" means there are no artificial ingredients or preservatives. That claim can be made for most chicken sold at grocery stores.
* "Hormone-free" has even less meaning since hormones are not legally allowed in poultry. Same goes for "farm-raised," since just about every chicken sold is raised on a farm.
* "Antibiotic-free" has significance to those who are concerned about consuming an animal treated with antibiotics. An organic chicken cannot be treated with antibiotics.
* "Fresh" means the chicken has never been cooled below 26 degrees Fahrenheit (-3 degrees Celsius).
* "Free-range" is taken by many to mean that the chickens roam free in a pasture, but legally it just means they have access to the outside.
While some consumers say organic chicken is healthier and tastes better, that's not necessarily true.
The taste issue, in particular, can be hard to discern. It's easy to distinguish organic milk from non-organic milk. Grass-fed beef stands out in particular among connoisseurs. Chicken, however, is harder to be snooty about.
"You have to have one outrageous palate to distinguish between an organic bird and another bird," says Dallas-based chef Otto Borsich.
Judging by looks might be the hardest part. Non-organic chicken will actually often look plumper because those chickens are fed a diet maximized for growth, Borsich says. And any chicken, organic or not, that is processed with water may end up retaining some, which will add to the price and diminish the taste. The key to avoiding that is to look for chicken marked as "air-chilled," Daguin says.

Birch Street AutomotiveRead MoreBirch Street Automotive's technicians are ASE-certified and capable of servicing both domestic and foreign vehicles.

Signature Glass TintingRead MoreThe technicians at Signature Glass Tinting shade and stylize car windows with films cut and fitted by the Tint Tek 20/20 computerized cutting system. Signature Glass carries three types of films from two manufacturers?LLumar and Wincos?ranging from basic tints to ceramic films.

Technicians can fasten two roll-up windows to autos ($90), and most full tint jobs range from $215 to $245, depending on the vehicle and the film. During the two- to three-hour process, the digital cutting system customizes film to meet cars' factory specifications, which minimizes sloppy razor slices or ill-fitted films that hug surfaces like baggy burlap sacks.670 W 17th StCosta Mesa, CA US

The Top 3 Ways to Supplement the Kingsley Survey
Let me start off by saying that I think the Kingsley Survey is an incredibly important tool for owners and manager to asses tenant satisfaction. It's the holy grail of tenant surveys. And it's great for just that – taking a look back at the year and giving an overall assessment. But humor me for a minute as I point out a few ways I think it falls short, why it should be one piece of a comprehensive performance management strategy, and why I want to challenge you and your team track tenant satisfaction day-to day in your building(s).
5 Tips for Attracting Tenants with Your Property Website
Luring in tenants to your property in the highly competitive CRE market can be a huge challenge. Tenants need a property that not only meets their physical needs – such as space and location – but also one that provides a comfortable work environment with convenient amenities and green-friendly initiatives.
7 Reasons Why I Need Property Management Software
Have you felt it? That buzz sweeping through CRE? Tech, tech, TECH! Everywhere I turn, I see articles like CRE Tech Trends for 2015; events like CRE // Tech Intersect, DisruptCRE and Realcomm (dedicated solely to emerging and established technologies); and new resources for CRE tech News.
8 Ways to Get Your Building Ready for Winter
While we're positive that YOU are not one of companies that just switch off the air conditioning at the end of the season rather than follow correct shut down procedures (gasp!), it's always good to have a winter preparedness refresh as we head into the drag of cold and snow.
Your Website = Your Success
The days of flipping through ads of a phonebook are over. Sending a pamphlet through the mail gets placed in the junk pile without a second thought. If a customer is going to find you, it's going to be online. And in a highly competitive Commercial Real Estate market, your online image can go a long way. With so many search results available, it takes just seconds to diagnose whether you've found what you're looking for or not.
The Eden Center: A Quick Way to Get Sued By Tenants
The Eden Center in Falls Church, VA – which is believed to be the largest Vietnamese commercial center on the East Coast – was once a thriving shopping mall for the Washington area's estimated 70,000 Vietnamese Americans. Unfortunately, as The Washington Post recently reported, the CRE retail space is now in a state of decay.
Hit the Bullseye This Budget Season
Yep, it's that time of year again. That time when there aren't enough hours in the day and crunching numbers never seems to end… It's Budget Season. In case you're feeling a bit overwhelmed, check out our budget checklist below to make sure you'll be nailing your targets for the year ahead.

A Company & Property That "Get It"
Sometimes I miss important, relevant things I should be aware of. Such is the case with one of our long-time clients, Paradigm Properties. I quite accidentally stumbled upon the fantastic marketing program Paradigm developed for their 101 Tremont Street property today.
VIDEO: Optimizing Property Management with Data & Benchmarking
Building Engines SVP Scott Sidman recently returned from Realcomm 2014 in Las Vegas where he joined some of the CRE industry's most visionary and innovative thought leaders to explore the latest technology innovations impacting the real estate landscape.
Simplify the Holiday Occupancy Scramble
Do you dread planning your property's holiday schedule? Coordinating tenant occupancy, staffing needs, and building operations can often be a hassle, involving multiple emails, phone calls and stacks of paper work.
Take 5 with Inger Jackson
This month's customer spotlight shines on Inger Jackson of Spectrum | Emery, a CRE services company that leases and manages eight Class A office buildings in Franklin, TN.
Why Workflow Matters & What Gets In The Way
By itself, workflows (or lack thereof) won't really make or break your organization. You can probably even maintain the status quo without them. But they are also the easiest, most tactical thing you can implement in a relatively short timeframe to bring about a big change in the quality of your tenant service delivery program and your team's efficiency.
BEI Client Gains TOBY Recognition
We're excited to announce that Building Engines client Washington Real Estate Investment Trust will be recognized for two of their properties at the 30th annual Local TOBY Awards Celebration in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, June 12.
Property Managers: Get the Most Out of Social Media
While the commercial real estate industry may be notoriously slow to adopt new technology, more and more property owners and managers are taking advantage of social media and the opportunity it presents. When used correctly, social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube can help building teams strengthen their brand, reinforce tenant relationships, and reach prospective tenants.

Week 9 Rankings, No. 26-120
Last Week: Didn't Play This Week
Why LSU Should Be No. 1: The Oregon win is looking stronger and stronger, while the West Virginia win, at least according to the record, is still as good a road victory as anyone can put on the résumé. The team is fully back from all suspensions for the big showdown.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: There's still a question about the passing offense. The Tigers are a running team, and Alabama is by far the best team in the country against the run, so if the passing attack can't rock, next week could be a huge letdown.
2. Alabama 8-0
Last Week: Didn't Play This Week
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Run defense … No. 1. Pass defense … No. 2. Scoring defense … No. 1. Total defense … No. 1. LSU might have a terrific résumé and a great team in all phases, but Alabama's defense could be at a whole other level of greatness.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: There's the Penn State win, and beating Arkansas wasn't without its charm, but there isn't a lot of beef. Beating Tennessee, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and Florida really isn't that big a deal, while Kent State and North Texas is Kent State and North Texas. The one good defense the Tide faced, Penn State, kept the attack in relative check.
3. Oklahoma State 8-0
Last Week: W, at Baylor 59-24
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: At the moment, Oklahoma State is playing like the best team in the best conference in the country. The offense took apart Baylor from the start, and while Robert Griffin was Robert Griffin, it was only after the game was out of hand. Brandon Weeden is playing at a Heisman-like level.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Raise your hand if you think Oklahoma State is going to beat Oklahoma in December? Right now the Cowboys have shown few signs of weakness, but considering how shaky Texas A&M has been the one point win in late September might be a sign of things to come down the road.
4. Oklahoma 7-1
Last Game: W, at Kansas State 58-17
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Alright, let's just chalk up that Texas Tech loss to a really, really bad first half. The offense exploded on the road for nearly 700 yards and a school-record 505 passing yards from Landry Jones against a terrific Kansas State team. When it's on, this OU team is as unstoppable as any in America.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Texas Tech just lost to Iowa State 41-7. Letdown, schmetdown; that's not a plus for a Sooner team trying to make a case to be the best of the one-loss teams. Kansas State was too one-dimensional, as was Texas Tech, and the Sooner defense could have a problem with a strong, balanced team. Between the Red Raider loss and the shaky game against Florida State, this isn't the most consistent powerhouse on the board.
5. Stanford 8-0
Last Week: W, at USC 56-48 3OT
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The team has it all. It has a power running game, a tough defense with tremendous size, and, of course, Andrew Luck playing at the highest of levels. The USC win was gut-check time against a jacked up team playing like it was the Rose Bowl, and under extreme adversity, the Cardinal came through.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: It took three overtimes and a big final drive to put away the Trojans. This might have been a well-motivated USC, but it was still just an above-average team the Cardinal barely put away. The pieces might be there, but the team showed it's going to have problems with ultra-athletic teams like …
6. Oregon 7-1
Last Week: W, Washington State 43-28
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Ho hum, the Ducks keep rolling along cranking out 41 points or more in every game but the opener against LSU. LaMichael James is back, the offense is exploding, the special teams have been terrific, and the machine is steamrolling past everything in its path.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Beating Arizona State a few weeks ago at home was nice, but can the Ducks beat a real team away from Autzen? Oregon is playing like a top five team, and it's on top of the coaches' poll among the one-loss teams, but it might not quite be tested enough to be the top two team it needs to be to go to New Orleans.
7. Boise State 7-0
Last Game: Didn't Play This Week
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Alright, we'll move you back up … for now. The Georgia win is the one to hang the hat on, but it's a good one. Don't dismiss the wins over the "lesser" teams on the slate. There's a chance Tulsa, Nevada, and Toledo will all win their respective conferences. And yes, beating TCU in a few weeks will mean something.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: It's not fair to demand Boise State blow out everyone and everything in its path by 30, but it needs to blow out everyone and everything in its path by 30. The 37-26 game against a mediocre Air Force isn't going to cut it in this beauty contest.
8. Arkansas 7-1
Last Week: W, at Vanderbilt 31-28
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Basically, this is the lesser or all evils ranking. 7-1 as an SEC West team is 7-1 as an SEC West team. Survive and move on, and on the right day, the Arkansas passing game can play with anyone in the country outside of Alabama. Theoretically, if Alabama is a top two team, the Arkansas could be No. 3, but …
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: A lousy performance against Ole Miss is one thing, but needing a missed field goal and a long fumble recovery for a score against Vanderbilt is another. This might be the third best team in the SEC, but that doesn't mean much this season.
9. Clemson 8-1
Last Week: L, at Georgia Tech 31-17
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: You have to grade a loss to Georgia Tech differently; it's like losing to a knuckleball pitcher. Sometimes the quirky attack works, and it doesn't matter how good the defense is. The wins over Auburn, Florida State, and Virginia Tech still mean everything, and Clemson will still probably win the ACC title.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Fine, so the Georgia Tech offense found its groove. The Clemson offense had its hand in the loss, too, with four turnovers and not enough from the running game. The Tigers had the ball for just 21 minutes, and now the perfect season is over.
10. Arizona State 6-2
Last Week: W, Colorado 48-14
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Illinois loss isn't a plus on the résumé, but it was a close call on the road. The USC win looks fantastic now, the Missouri victory looks stronger, and losing to Oregon at Oregon is nothing to get in a twist over. In a year without a lot of power teams for the top ten, ASU is playing like it belongs.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Beating Colorado isn't that big a deal and neither is winning at Utah. The defense has been good, not phenomenal, while the offense isn't quite explosive enough on a consistent basis. Right now this is the third best team in the Pac-12, and if you don't believe in the conference, this might be way too high. Speaking of being a bit overranked ...
Last Week: L, Stanford 56-48 3OT
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Beating Notre Dame by two touchdowns in South Bend really was a big deal, and coming within a hiccup of beating Stanford showed just how good this young team really is. The two losses were to the Cardinal and to Arizona State; that's not bad.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: There's the Notre Dame win, and … um … uh … Syracuse? Utah? Winning at Cal isn't anything to do cartwheels over. The Trojans still have tough dates against Washington and Oregon to deal with, and if they're sulking in any way after this physical loss, the last month of the season could be disappointing.
12. Wisconsin 6-2
Last Week: L, Ohio State 33-29
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Uhhhh, didn't the Badgers just lose two straight? How do they move up? The blowout win over Nebraska now looks really, really good, and while there were problems beyond the finishes against Ohio State – who had two weeks off to prepare for the make-or-break home game - and Michigan State, the argument could be made that Bucky is two plays away from being ranked No. 3.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The Badgers got manhandled over the last two weeks, and while Russell Wilson was able to rally the offense in both games, that doesn't mask the problems during the midsection in each game. Obliterating Purdue, Minnesota, and Illinois over the next three weeks is a must to stay this high in a true benefit-of-the-doubt ranking.
13. Nebraska 7-1
Last Week: W, Michigan State 24-3
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: All of a sudden, the Huskers are looking like the class of the Legends. The win over Michigan State was dominant – with a near-perfect offensive gameplan – and the win over Ohio State looks a lot stronger now. The running game is working, Taylor Martinez is playing well, and FINALLY, there was some pressure in the backfield from the defensive line.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: And Texas Tech got blown out by Iowa State. Let down games are let down games, and while it's not Nebraska's fault that Michigan State played like it spent the entire last week celebrating, this wasn't' the same Spartan team that gave Wisconsin all it could handle.
14. Notre Dame 5-3
Last Week: W, Navy 56-14
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: This might be the most maddening team in America. The talent is there. The explosiveness is there. The potential is there. This Irish have enough in the bag to blowout a Michigan State and possibly give Stanford all it can handle in a few weeks. The win over Navy showed what the team can do when its head is screwed on straight, and that includes head coach Brian Kelly.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The USC loss showed how mentally weak this team is. Under the slightest bit of in-game adversity this season, the Irish buckle. The punt return game is miserable, the punting game is awful, and the turnovers keep on coming.
15. Michigan State 6-2
Last Week: L, at Nebraska 24-3
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: An argument could be made that the Nebraska loss was a true aberration. The team wasn't nearly the same one that beat Wisconsin, playing unfocused and undisciplined. The win over the Badgers is still special, and the win at Ohio State looks a lot better now.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Michigan State's three road games: 10-7 over Ohio State, blowout loss to Notre Dame, blowout loss to Nebraska. The win over the Badgers doesn't seem indicative of how good this team is; there were way too many breakdowns and errors on both sides of the ball against the Huskers. Blowing up Minnesota next week will help, but it'll take a win at Iowa to show the Spartans can play well away from home.
16. Michigan 7-1
Last Week: W, Purdue 36-14
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The running game showed that it's most than just Denard Robinson, with Fitzgerald Toussaint showing the team has plenty of weapons to work with. Losing at Michigan State in a closer game than the 28-14 final score – even though the lines got beaten up - isn't anything to get in a twist over. Call this a holding pattern ranking; the Wolverines could move up in a big hurry.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The San Diego State win lost its luster and the only decent win of note came on a miraculous finish against Notre Dame. There's still a prove-it factor after the Michigan State loss, and winning at Iowa and Illinois over the next two weeks will show more about what the team can do.
17. Ohio State 5-3
Last Week: W, Wisconsin 33-29
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Buckeye lines badly outplayed the Wisconsin lines. The defensive front got pressure in the backfield all game long, while the offensive line did a great job of opening things up for Dan Herron. After beating Illinois and Wisconsin, the Buckeyes are looking strong with Indiana and Purdue up next.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: It might have been a brilliant play by Braxton Miller, but it still took a minor miracle to avoid the choke. The Buckeyes outplayed Wisconsin for 55 minutes, and then almost gave the game away on a few breakdowns in the secondary. The team is playing far better, but there's still some maturing to do.
18. Kansas State 7-1
Last Week: L, Oklahoma 58-17
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Oklahoma, Texas Tech loss aside, might be one of the three best teams in America, and once in a while that offense is going to be jaw-dropping good. The Wildcats have their chance to make amends next week against Oklahoma State to get the honor of being the second-best team in the Big 12, and with winnable games against Texas A&M, at Texas, and Iowa State to close, an upset win over the Cowboys could lead to a truly special season.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Yeah, the OU offense is sensational, but yeeeeeeesh. Kansas State actually had the lead for a while, and then the doors came flying off the lack of overall talent on both sides of the ball became apparent.
19. Virginia Tech 8-1
Last Week: W, at Duke 14-10
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The run defense has been incredible and David Wilson deserves Doak Walker consideration. There are plenty of great pieces to the puzzle, and for all the struggles and all the sputtering, the Hokies are still 8-1 with an outside chance at a BCS bowl by winning out and going 11-1.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Not beating a ranked team is one thing, but 14-10 to Duke, no matter how it's sliced and diced, is a problem. The best win this year was probably over Wake Forest, and the second best win was a fight against a dog of a Miami team. It's prove-it time against Georgia Tech.
20. Missouri 4-4
Last Week: W, at Texas A&M 38-31 OT
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: What? Huh? Missouri gets one vote in the coaches' poll and is this high?! The losses: at Arizona State in overtime, at Oklahoma, at Kansas State, Oklahoma State. The blowout win over Iowa State not looks great, while beating Texas A&M in College Station means something. This has been a better team than its record all year, but …
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: 4-4 is 4-4, and this might be way too high a ranking going off just one nice win over Texas A&M. More tests will come with a trip to Baylor up next, but don't be shocked if the talented team with the No. 11 offense in the nation runs the table and gets a strong bowl bid.
21. Texas A&M 5-3
Last Game: L, Missouri 38-31
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: If the Aggies had Mariano Rivera it would be unbeaten. The team can't close, and while that's part of the deal, the losses to Missouri, Oklahoma State, and Arkansas could've all easily have gone the other way. Don't assume the Aggies get rolled at Oklahoma next week.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Coffee's for closers, only. At the moment, the only really strong win is over Texas Tech, and the Aggies almost gagged that game away, too. The pass defense is the worst in the nation, no one can tackle, and the offense goes into mystifying funks at the wrong times.
22. Penn State 8-1
Last Week: W, Illinois 10-7
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Defense, no mistakes, and a good running game. There might be major holes in the passing game, and it's taking way too much work to put away mediocre teams, but the lone loss is to Alabama and 8-1 is 8-1.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: It's not fair to chalk up the kick off the upright and the questionable pass interference call to luck, but once again, Penn State won an ugly game that could've gone either way. The offense was lousy in the snow – outside of Silas Redd – and the defense had to save the day again. Now the real tests come against Nebraska, at Ohio State, and at Wisconsin.
23. Auburn 6-3
Last Week: W, Ole Miss 41-23
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Welcome to the party, Clint Moseley. It's not like the Tiger quarterback situations are totally solved, but he was terrific against Ole Miss – throwing four touchdown passes – and Michael Dyer was Michael Dyer. This is probably the fourth best team in the SEC; that's not bad, even in a miserable year for the conference's bottom ten.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Now it's time to prove it really is No. 4 in the league with a win over Georgia. Beating Ole Miss is beating Ole Miss; it's not a plus. The passing game is still a mess and the defense is still shaky, but the Tigers can prove themselves with a win over the Dawgs.
24. South Carolina 7-1
Last Week: W, at Tennessee 14-3
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The defense has stepped up its game in a big way to make up for the middling offense. After dominating a bad Tennessee team, USC is No. 6 in the nation in total defense, and No. 3 against the pass. Even with all the problems and all the adversity, being 7-1 in the SEC isn't that bad.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Actually, being 7-1 in the SEC this year – without playing LSU, Alabama, and Arkansas – really is that bad. Don't fall for the brand names; beating Tennessee and Mississippi State really doesn't matter. The Georgia win is still strong, but that's about it. Now the Gamecocks get to prove themselves at Arkansas.
25. Georgia 6-2
Last Week: W, Florida 24-20
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: On a six-game winning streak, the team has showed heart and toughness to turn around a rocky season. The defense is playing at a high level, led by a brilliant game from Jarvis Jones against the Gators. The schedule might not be all that great, but four of the last five games – all wins – have been away from home.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Whoopee. Beating Coastal Carolina, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Florida – at least at the moment – is awfully Boise State-like schedule-wise. It's not like the Dawgs are dominating the mediocre slate.
Week 9 Rankings, No. 26-120

Were Rampage's actions in recent interview unprofessional, inappropriate?
After his UFC 130 win over Matt Hamill this Memorial Day Weekend, Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson was interviewed by MMA Heat's Karyn Bryant. Jackson was very playful in the interview and some comments may be considered in appropriate, and Yahoo's Maggie Hendricks was not a fan:
Today, MMAHeat's Karyn Bryant gave an exclusive interview to LowKick.com, explaining her side of the story and why she wasn't offended by Rampage's actions:

Michelle Duggar, star of the TLC reality show "18 Kids and Counting," who is expecting her 19th child, is resting fine after she was rushed to a hospital over the weekend.
"Over the weekend, Michelle Duggar was admitted to an Arkansas hospital with symptoms unrelated to her pregnancy," a TLC spokeswoman told ABCNews.com. "At this time, Michelle and her unborn baby are both stable and resting. Mrs. Duggar is in good spirits and feeling much better."
People magazine reported Monday that Duggar had been airlifted to a hospital in Little Rock because of gallbladder problems. The pain from a gallstone was causing contractions.
Duggar's baby is not due until spring, and there was concern that she might deliver early and would need to be close to a neonatal intensive care unit, according to People.
Those concerns appear to have eased for now. The physician attending Duggar, Dr. Curtis Lowery of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, told People: "We have every reason at present to expect that mother and baby will proceed with a healthy pregnancy. Mrs. Duggar is in good spirits and feeling much better."
For now, Duggar's husband, Jim Bob, and 18 children will have to get along without her.
"Doctors want to observe Michelle in the hospital for the next couple of days," a rep for TLC told People, "but it would appear that the pain medication they have given her for the gallstone has worked, and there is no need for immediate surgery. The hope is that any necessary surgery can be delayed until after she delivers."
In September, the Duggars announced that they were expecting their 19th child. Though they make raising a large family look like, well, child's play, adults who have grown up in Duggar-size families say it's a mixed blessing. Finding space to be alone is a challenge. Finding someone to play with is not.
There's also an environmental effect -- think carbon dioxide -- as well as health concerns for the mother. Women who've borne more than five children risk hemorrhage and even the loss of their uterus because repeated pregnancies sometimes thin the walls of the uterus, said Dr. Joanna Cain, an obstetrician-gynecologist in Providence, R.I.
Then there's always the possibility of one child getting lost in the passel of children.
Rachel Carroccio, a receptionist and ceramics teacher in Little Rock, Ark., knows that experience firsthand. The fifth-born of 10 children, Carroccio, now 28, recalled one time when her mother was in a hurry to get to the grocery store.
"We all piled into the minivan," she told ABCNews.com. "Mom counted heads to make sure everyone was there. As soon as she pulls forward, she sees my little brother Daniel riding his bike in front of us."
As it turned out, one of the heads was really the neighbor's.
But, for all the fond memories, she says the older girls in the family, including herself, burned out on caring for younger siblings and the house while her mother, often raising them alone, worked outside the home.
"None of us really want many kids," Carroccio said, referring to the girls. "My brothers, on the other hand, all want to have kids. I have one brother about to have his fifth child."
Those are among the sentiments the Carroccios like to share whenever all 10 -- ranging in ages from 11 to 37 -- get together for Thanksgiving and Christmas, their favorite time of the year.

Notebook Shopping
The 17″ MacBook Pro with our insider discount starts at $2,599 with 1GB RAM, 120GB HD and ATI 256 Video. The Apple store version is at $2,799.
TodayŌĆÖs opinion is that the Dell Inspiron 9400, starting at $1,495, is ŌĆścomparableŌĆÖ to the MacBook Pro. The DellŌĆÖs default Core Duo chip is slower and $99 will get me 256 MB video. Today, it is difficult to see why $1000 more is needed to reach Apple.
A viable generality may be that modern notebook computers are all hotŌĆöthe CPU and the GPU gets hot. So it boils down to a choice between hot plastic or hot titanium.
Eyeing the Area-51® m5750
So news feeds leave me with the assumption that the Intel┬« CoreŌäó2 Duo is ŌĆ£eagerly awaited.ŌĆØ A review of the m5750 points to the T7200 2.0GHzŌĆöŌĆ£for the rest of us.ŌĆØ With an 80GB, 7200RPM HD and 1GB RAM, the m5750 gets upwards of $1,929.

Jewelry store robber cut hole in store's roof
Fire victim's death found to be from natural cause
SAN DIEGO: The county Medical Examiner's Office has identified a woman whose body was found inside a mobile home that caught fire as Sharon Judith Dunn, 63.
But investigators ruled that her death was natural and not caused by the fire Sunday.
Dunn, who lived alone in the Leisureland Mobile Villa complex on 47th Street near Fairmount Avenue, died from coronary atherosclerosis, commonly known as hardening of the arteries, with a contributing condition listed as pulmonary emphysema, Medical Examiner's Office officials said.
Her body was found after her mobile home caught fire about 1:40 p.m. Sunday. The blaze was sparked by a cigarette left in a trash can and caused about $100,000 in damage, a fire spokesman said.
Cartel leader admits role in running drug operation
FEDERAL COURT: A former top lieutenant of the Arellano Felix drug cartel pleaded guilty yesterday to racketeering and conspiracy charges in San Diego federal court.
The guilty plea brings to eight the number of leaders from the Arellano Felix cartel convicted since 2006 in San Diego, half of them this month.
Jorge Aureliano Felix admitted that fromsometime in the 1990s to June 2004 he helped run the criminal organization that authorities said was responsible for smugglingtons of drugs into the United States. Felix also admitted to investing drug profits and agreed to forfeit $1 million, authorities said.
He faces up to 30 years in prison at a sentencing hearing scheduled for Jan. 11.

Re: Official Radeon HD 6990 reviews
Dragon Age II Eyefinity 5822 x 1920 resolution using AMD's HD 6990
Dragon Age II, the highly anticipated sequel to Dragon Age: Origins was released just a couple days ago alongside AMDs dual GPU behemoth, the HD 6990. Turns out both go well together, thanks largely to the game's excellent Eyefinity support.
The original Dragon Age was the first game to take advantage of Eyefinity, at a time when the technology was still in its early stages. Dragon Age II expands that support by utilizing AMDs latest five-display gaming configuration. While playing Dragon Age II using five monitors, the field of view is greatly enhanced, as is the case with other Eyefinity settings. However, where the 5 x 1 configuration stands out is in its ability to scale to resolution up to 5822 x 1920, and its improved bezel placement, both offering more immersive gameplay.

All UI&U degrees and certificates
For new and returning students
Degree: Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.)
Credits: 120
Transfer up to 30 credits
Union Institute & University conducts its Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) program on a three term, 12-month academic year.
Each term is 16-weeks long:
The program requires a minimum of three (3) full-time academic years of graduate study at Union Institute & University, including one (1) year of residency at Union Institute & University (the first year in the program). The Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) program requires the completion of 120 credits, including the following:
In addition to the required and elective courses, clinical experiences and research, the Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) program has required activities and evaluative components that assure the successful completion of the above intents and purposes, including the following:
All students take a prescribed sequence of required courses as well as electives, with the understanding that this may vary for students who transfer credits into the program (see Transfer Credits). The curriculum is designed to provide students with generalist training preparing them for entry into the field of professional psychology. The Psy.D. program is conducted over three terms during the 12-month academic year.
All students begin the program with a two-day Initial Orientation followed by the first of their six (6) required Academic Meetings. During the Initial Orientation, students meet with their academic advisors and are presented with an overview of all aspects of the program, including presentations by the Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) faculty on their areas of interest, current scholarship, practice, and research. Guest speakers are invited to present to the group, demonstrating additional models and roles of professional psychologists.
During the first year, students attend classes two weekends a month for the fall and winter terms and three weekends during the spring/summer term. Students attend these foundational courses in either Brattleboro or Cincinnati, depending on the student's cohort. All but one of the first year courses is delivered in a face-to-face classroom setting during this year of residency. This allows the program to provide a set of in-person experiences, including curricular and supplemental activities, for professional socialization to the field, and to provide close contact with a cohort of faculty for student interaction and assessment.
During years two and three of the program, students attend classes on campus (in either Brattleboro or Cincinnati, depending on their cohort) one weekend a month. In addition to coursework, students are at a practicum placement for 600-800 hours each of these years.Practicum placements must be within a five (5) hour drive from either Brattleboro or Cincinnati. Students may choose to take an advanced practicum in their fourth year. In year five they are on internship for 2000 hours. If they elect to do a half time internship, they can do it in years 5-6, completing their 2000 hours within a 24 month period.
