After every round of Premier League fixtures, we pick our team of the weekend, explain our selections and then invite you - our loyal army of readers - to pick your team of Top Men.
We're looking for the players who caught your eye with dazzling displays or powerful performances on Matchday 31 (March 30-April 1). You can choose any formation and there's no limit on how many players you can pick from each team - so have a think, then get involved.
TEAMtalk's Top Men (4-4-2): Howard; Clyne, Alcaraz, Vertonghen, Shaw; Mirallas, Nasri, Cazorla, Bale; Carroll, Gervinho.
Tim Howard - Everton
Three straight successes have kept Everton in the hunt for a top-four finish, with a 1-0 victory over Stoke on Saturday leaving them just four points adrift of the UEFA Champions League places. Rather surprisingly, given their lofty standing, a shutout against the Potters saw the Toffees collect just their sixth clean sheet of the season. Howard played a leading role in keeping Stoke at bay, with the American shot-stopper providing a reliable last line of defence.
Nathaniel Clyne - Southampton
Southampton have soared to 12th spot in the Premier League table after taking seven points from their last three fixtures. They added three more to their tally on Saturday as they stunned Chelsea at St Mary's. A 2-1 victory was just reward for a determined team effort, with the Saints having pulled together in a bid to steer clear of trouble. Clyne was among their more impressive performers against the Blues, as he stood firm at the back and provided a threat going forward.
Antolin Alcaraz - Wigan Athletic
We have reached that stage of the season when Wigan come into their own and surge towards the finishing post. Roberto Martinez would rather they did not leave it so late to mount a survival bid, but he has the Latics moving in the right direction once again. A 1-0 victory over fellow strugglers Norwich on Saturday lifted Wigan back out of the bottom three, and Alcaraz was the pick of their bunch as they collected a much-needed clean sheet.
Jan Vertonghen - Tottenham Hotspur
Remarkably, Vertonghen has now netted four times in his last five outings for Tottenham - having opened the scoring during a 2-1 win at Swansea on Saturday. He arrived at White Hart Lane with a reputation for being a goal-scoring defender, but he admits to having surprised himself during his debut season in England. His effort against the Swans was arguably the pick of his efforts so far, as he burst into the box to collect a Gareth Bale pass and calmly slot low into the bottom corner.
Luke Shaw - Southampton
As already mentioned, Southampton enjoyed an Easter weekend to remember as they put another sizeable dent in Chelsea's efforts to snatch a Champions League place. Mauricio Pochettino's men were full value for their 2-1 victory, with eye-catching displays put in all over the field. Shaw helped to further his growing reputation with an assured display at full-back. He found himself up against a lively Victor Moses, but was able to keep that particular threat contained.
Kevin Mirallas - Everton
You get the impression that Everton would have managed a lot more than 47 goals in 30 Premier League outings this season had they been able to call upon the services of Mirallas on a more regular basis. The flying Belgian winger has caught the eye this term when fit, and offered another indication as to his undoubted talent on Saturday with a fantastic solo effort against Stoke. His strike, which saw him run from inside his own half, settled a keenly-fought contest at Goodison Park.
Samir Nasri - Manchester City
Roberto Mancini conceded after Manchester City's 4-0 mauling of Newcastle that he sometimes wishes he could punch Nasri, so infuriatingly inconsistent can the Frenchman be at times. He was at his game-altering best against the Magpies on Saturday, as he pulled the playmaking strings which allowed others to flourish. It remains to be seen whether he can maintain those high standards for the remainder of the campaign.
Santi Cazorla - Arsenal
Like City, Arsenal hit four at the weekend - as they swept aside Reading at the Emirates. It was a managerial bow to forget for new Royals boss Nigel Adkins in north London, as his side struggled to cope with a free-flowing Gunners outfit. Cazorla was at the centre of much of Arsenal's best work, with the talented Spaniard laying on the opening goal for Gervinho before grabbing the second himself - as he expertly curled the ball around a helpless Stuart Taylor.
Gareth Bale - Tottenham Hotspur
There is no stopping Bale at present, with the flying Welsh winger putting in a talismanic display for the umpteenth time this season as Tottenham edged past Swansea and into third place in the Premier League standings. Bale, who continues to justify his billing as one of Europe's most devastating attacking talents, provided the ammunition for Vertonghen to break the deadlock in South Wales, before rifling home Spurs' second from the edge of the box.
Andy Carroll - West Ham United
Carroll offered a timely reminder of what he is capable of to his bosses at club and international level on Saturday as he helped to bulldoze West Ham past West Brom. Hammers boss Sam Allardyce was suitably impressed, admitting afterwards that he wants to make Carroll's loan deal permanent, and England coach Roy Hodgson will have made a note of events at Upton Park. Carroll nodded home a trademark header against the Baggies, before stroking in a controlled volley to wrap up a 3-1 win.
Gervinho - Arsenal
Another of those who boasts the ability to frustrate and amaze in equal measure, Gervinho had the Emirates faithful purring on Saturday. The Ivorian has enjoyed a return to form over recent weeks and looked to be full of confidence as he helped to hammer another nail in rock-bottom Reading's coffin. Gervinho needed just 16 minutes to open the scoring against the Royals and would go on to have a hand in another two of Arsenal's four goals.
So that's our team of Top Men, now pick yours!

Crazy thing is the poster curse continues. I was shocked but the dude deserved for being so cocky. I wonder if he's going to come back for his rematch. Maybe this will set a fire under him and he will come back to cause some more crap in the division.
What's the poster curse?
Brown Pride
Anderson Silva fights like Roy Jones Jr.
I loved watching Roy Jones Jr fight. I will always remember how Anderson fought as champion and respect his level of skill.
Not everyone has to be the typical "respectful" martial artist as GSP or a humble wrecking machine of few words like Fedor.
There are many different personalities in this world. Deal with it. The world would be boring if everyone was the same as everyone else - it would be a real shitty place.
Spin his loss however you want. At the end of the day, a legend was humbled.
Continue on with your silly statements that you are a master prognosticator, Silva is a shitty human being who got what he deserved, Weidman is not really that good, Weidman is better than Silva ever was or whatever BS.
Not if they were all like me.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
The Top Ten Highly Unlikely MMA Conspiracy Theories That Some People Actually Believe
I think it's best that we hear about this strange UFC poster conspiracy from the originator of the theory himself, Peteyandjia. There's no way we can do the story justice without publishing his direct quote from the Sherdog Forum over three years ago. Check out the visual below of the poster to better understand this conspiracy theory.
It started, as all great stories do, with a BJ.
In April, he lost his belt to some guy from New Jersey. If that sounds impossible, it is because supernatural forces were at play.
Then in May, only one month later, The Dragon also fell victim to the Unholy Power of the Poster, when he lost to a guy who doesn't even have any working knees.
I trembled as the reality of the curse began to set in.
Could it be?
Then in July, Brock was on the brink of defeat against Shane Carwin - but he somehow pulled it out. "This is it!" I thought. "The curse has been defeated by the Vanilla Gorilla!!"
But then... Brown Pride happened.
The Poster Gods manifested their angry wrath in the form of an undefeated HurriCain which barreled illegally over the southern border of the US, and straight into Brock's face.
According to this conspiracy theory, that means Anderson Silva is the next champion to lose his belt. It's also important to note that while Anderson Silva is champion, Georges St. Pierre will never lose his belt.
We also couldn't find a single copy of this UFC poster aside from the one in the picture. Is the UFC telling us what they're doing before it's actually done? The world may never know.

Todd to Appear on New 'The Emmitt Zone' TV Show
Friday, September 12, 2003
When Emmitt Smith signed on with the Arizona Cardinals, he committed to become part of the "Arizona" community and to establish relationships around metro Phoenix.
His efforts include The Emmitt Zone, a weekly magazine-style sports and entertainment show Emmitt hosts every Sunday on ABC 15 TV in Phoenix. The show, which debuted Sept. 7, includes spotlights on sports, entertainment, business and politics. Guests include local and national celebrities as well as news from the entertainment world.
Emmitt stopped in this week for a visit with Todd amid a room full of McFarlane Toys figures, a Spawn mannequin that stands more than 6 feet tall and three certain home run baseballs from Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. Emmitt wanted to talk about Todd's success in business from his early comic book days forward, his expertise in sports collectibles and memorabilia, and to find out just how the McFarlane's Sports Picks figures are so life-like, especially those Emmitt figures.
During the course of the interview spanning more than two hours, Emmitt gave Todd some friendly razzing about not owning any of his memorabilia and commented how often he's seen Sports Picks in offices all over the country during meetings and tours.
Todd and Emmitt got down to serious business and discussed at length the authenticity of sports memorabilia. Todd talked about the tracking system Major League Baseball put in place during the McGwire-Sosa home run race and the Bonds record run. (For more information about that, read 'Last Week in Baseball'.) Emmitt addressed how he started using WeTrak to authenticate all of his memorabilia. WeTrak is a sports collectibles security company that developed an authentication and security system using microchips embedded in footballs, jerseys and other equipment to verify a player used a certain item. The chips also contain statistics and information from the day the equipment was used, which can help to establish the item's value.
Once the TV editing process is complete, the show's producers expect to generate multiple segments featuring Todd. As soon as we have airdates, we will let you know. Early word is they are planning to air something during the Sept. 21 show.
For those in the Phoenix area, catch The Emmitt Zone Sundays at 4 and 11 PM on Channel 15. Check their site for full program listings.

Rutland again defies the oddsJuly 30,2014On Tuesday, July 22, the Gift-of-Life Mini Summer Marathon collected 376 pints of life-saving blood in one of the toughest months of the year to collect an adequate blood supply for the hospitals and patients the Red Cross serves.
I wish to thank the people of the greater Rutland area for their continued support and take this opportunity to apologize to those individuals who came to donate at the blood drive and either experienced a delay or were unable to donate due to a delayed start time.
Our staff members experienced some technical problems early on the morning of the drive. Immediate steps are being taken to mitigate these issues going forward. I apologize for the delayed opening of the blood drive. It was a challenging day, but the difficulties were overcome by teamwork and an amazingly dedicated community of donors.
I want to thank the volunteers who make blood drives such as this possible, and I particularly want to thank Steve Costello, vice president at Green Mountain Power, and Terry Jaye, program manager for Catamount Radio, who are the heart and soul of the Rutland Gift-of-Life blood drive. Their support and leadership has ensured the continued success of this semi-annual life-saving event.
Once again, a heartfelt thank-you to the people of the greater Rutland area. After last Decembers Gift-of-Life Marathon record-breaking blood drive, where we collected more than 2,300 units of lifesaving blood, your community continues to defy the odds. I am always amazed at the dedication of the people of Rutland for their pride of community service, but most important, to helping their fellow man. On behalf of the countless number of patients you have helped, thank you.

At times it wasn't pretty, but in the end Summerville's season opener was sweet for Green Wave fans.
Summerville avenged a loss in its 2012 season opener by handing Cane Bay a 28-0 loss Thursday. The Wave defense was impressive, but the team's offense blew opportunities to put the game away earlier than it did.
Summerville coach John McKissick said his team made more mistakes than he is comfortable with, but a 28-point victory isn't a bad way to start the season.
"We shut them out so I guess that is pretty good," McKissick said. "I'm glad for the win and I'm going to try to forget about the mistakes and start correcting them tomorrow. Our defense was super, but our offense wasn't as good as it ought to be."
Cane Bay coach Russell Zehr was also pleased with his defense after the game.
"Nothing happened tonight that we didn't know about," Zehr said. "We knew we had areas we need to work on and Summerville was stronger than we were up front. We couldn't block them. … Our defense played great. They had to be on the field ¾ of the game and they didn't let up. We just didn't move the ball."
Summerville held the Cobras to under 100 yards of offense. The Wave finished with approximately 300, most of which came off Sawyer Bridges' 14 completed passes. On the Wave's first possession, he connected with Pinewood Prep transfer Donnell Bryant for a 41-yard touchdown pass.
Summerville did move the ball some with its rushing game as well. Senior tailback Jacerie Ponder scored on runs of 4 and 25 yards.
Summerville's defense had several standouts. Lineman Matt Powell managed to pressure the Cobra quarterback all night and finished with a sack and several tackles for a loss. Defensive back Kevin Dickerson broke up multiple passes and was in on a lot of tackles. On the other side of the secondary, Darin Smalls had a good night and even picked off a Cane Bay pass.
Smalls also returned a punt 55 yards into the end zone.
Summerville kicker David Kennedy also had a major impact on the game, placing five kickoffs into the end zone. Cane Bay also started a possession at its own 20 after three of Kennedy's punts.
Cane Bay 0 0 0 0 – 0
Summerville 7 14 0 7 – 28
SUM – Donnell Bryant 41 pass from Sawyer Bridges (David Kennedy kick)
SUM – Darin Smalls 55 punt return (Kennedy kick)
SUM – Jacerie Ponder 4 run (Kennedy kick)

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
Volunteers staff a CBF table at a local event. Photo by CBF Staff
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) is very fortunate to have the help and support of thousands of citizens who volunteer their time and who have demonstrated their commitment to a cleaner, healthier, Chesapeake Bay. Every year, volunteers donate more than 25,000 hours to CBF programs that advance the Bay's health. The immediate results of their work are impressive. But the value of their undertaking for future generations is priceless. We salute our volunteers for their contribution to a better community and a restored Bay.
Following are just a sampling of the many ways that you, too, can get involved.
If you would like to become involved and have not volunteered before or would like more information, please complete our Volunteer Information Form. If you are already a CBF volunteer and would like more information about current or specific opportunities, contact our office at 410-268-8816 or send an e-mail to [email protected].
Planting native trees and shurbs along the banks of waterways in one of the most effective ways to keep polluted runoff out of streams. Creating living shorelines with native wetland plants and grasses helps restore habitat for wildlife, preventerosion, capture sediment, and filter pollution.
During the growing season, scores of CBF volunteers give their time to tend crops, take in the harvest, and prepare delivery of fresh produce. Volunteers also assist in Clagett Farm's tree nursery, potting thousands of trees for CBF restoration projects.
Before their dramatic decline, the Chesapeake's native oysters were a powerful natural force in the Bay ecosystem, filtering contaminants from the water and providing habitat for crabs and fish. To bring back this key species, CBF's oyster restoration programs grow native oysters and transplant them to sanctuary reefs.
CBF volunteer advocates speak for the Bay and its rivers and streams. They are the infantry in our fight for clean water, making their voices heard on public policy, legislation, development, and other issues that affect our waterways. Advocacy volunteers contribute at many levels. They show up at rallies, send e-mails, make phone calls, gather signatures for petitions, and remind citizens and public officials of the need to restore the Bay and its rivers and streams.
By staffing CBF displays at boat shows, riverfront festivals, oyster roasts, community celebrations, and more, CBF volunteers publicly share their support for the Bay. They represent CBF at the local level, explaining the issues and the actions that are needed to protect and restore the Chesapeake. Volunteers supply information, answer questions, and connect residents to CBF activities and advocacy issues in their own neighborhoods.
What are the issues affecting the Bay and its rivers and streams? How can citizens make a difference? In presentations to civic, service, and social organizations across the region, volunteers from CBF's Speakers Bureau provide the answers. Their training includes briefings on the state of the Bay's health, the latest legislative issues, and the science-based strategies that are needed to save the Bay.
High school students, join a wave of action projects happening across the Chesapeake Bay region by doing one in your community. From installing rain barrels to cleaning up streams and more. Watch for photo contests and other opportunities to raise awareness about Bay issues while winning cool prizes. Follow Student Wave on social media to make sure you don't miss out on other fun opportunities!
Join Student Wave
At CBF's office in Annapolis, volunteers take on a host of administrative duties, from data entry to conducting tours of our "green" building. They also contribute to communications projects, educational programs, and outreach activities.
CBF's Annapolis and D.C. offices offer a limited number of unpaid internships for undergraduate and graduate students. Interns have the opportunity to work with a wide variety of environmental professionals on a host of water-quality related issues. Interested students should check our Intership Opportunities webpage.
Volunteering as a CBF pro bono volunteer is a great way to build professional skills while putting your talents to use to better your community and save the Bay. Whatever your talents—law, communications, finance, fund raising, to name just a few—please consider putting them to use for the Bay.
If you would like to become involved and haven't volunteered before or would like more information, please complete the Volunteer Information Form below. If you are already an active volunteer, please contact our office at 410-268-8816.
You will begin to receive Bay updates from CBF soon.
In the meantime, join the Bay-friendly conversation on Facebook and Twitter!

Incoming freshman Ewan Scott (St. Andrews, Scotland) continued his fantastic summer earning a spot on the Scottish entry in the European Men's Team Championship in Denmark. Scott and his squad qualified for the championship finishing fifth in stroke play as the top eight advanced.
The Scots beat Germany in a hard-fought quarterfinal affair 4-3. They followed with a 4.5-2.5 win over France, the top seed by virtue of the best total in stroke play, to meet rival England in the final. The English capture the trophy with a 4.5-2.5 win.
It is a significant accomplishment for an 18-year old to make his country's squad especially on one is a talent-rich place. He acquitted himself well throughout with a 1-2-1 record. His lone singles match was halved in the final against England matching Nathan Kimsey, the 13th-ranked player in the world. He and partner Jack Ross claimed a convincing 3&2 win against France to open that match over a duo that included 2013 Ben Hogan Award finalist Julien Brun (TCU).
Scott is currently ranked No. 191 in the world which is the top ranking on the Mocs squad.
Chris Robb (Aberdeenshire, Scotland) and Liam Johnston (Dumfries, Scotland) played for the Sutherland Chalice at Dumfries and Galloway Golf Club. Robb battled back from an opening 75 (+5) to shoot six-over par 286 closing with a 68 (-2). Johnston struggled in the final round ending up at 294.
Robb also competed at the Cameron Corbett Vase the weekend prior. He shot four-over 292 with consistent cards. He turned in scores of 73, 72, 74 and 73 for two 36-hole days.
Steven Fox (2010-13) is at the 142nd British Open this weekend. LEADERBOARD
Stephan Jaeger (2009-12) and Jonathan Hodge (2006-09) are in Overland Park, Kan., on the Web.com Tour this weekend for the Midwest Classic Present by Cadillac. The duo, ranked 90 and 106, respectively, are shooting to rank in the top 70 on the money list to get into the four-tournament playoff for one of 25 cards for the 2014 PGA Tour. There are six events left including next week's trip to Boise, Idaho for the Albertsons Boise Open.Derek Rende (2007-10) is coming off a runner-up finish at the Magnolia Bluffs Casino Classic where he fired a 17-under par 271 finishing four off Ryan Blaum's pace. That performance followed a tie for 14th at the Florida Marine Open over fourth of July weekend. His runner-up finish gave him an exemption into the Web.com Tour Knoxville News Sentinel Open Presented by Pilot August 15-18 at Fox Den C.C., where he'll be joined by former teammates Jaeger and Hodge.

I suppose that you object to the killing of Anwar Al-Awlaki, out of some sort of pacifist conviction. That's fine as far as it goes, I guess. But I'm curious about how this opposition can stand compared to your loud opposition to the execution of Troy Davis. [he's likely talking about this.] If you oppose all intentional taking of human life, doesn't that mean that there's essentially no difference between your opposition to killing Troy Davis, a likely innocent man put to death, and Al-Awlaki, a terrorist? Or Osama bin Laden? I don't understand how a blanket opposition to killing people gives you room to sort good from bad from worse.There are some provisos and qualifications, but then there's the answer.
For a society of law, the killing of Al-Awlaki should be even more disturbing than the killing of Troy Davis. Davis at least enjoyed some kind of due process, although it was the flawed, biased due process of a hideously racist system and one that is massively bent towards maintaining guilt and punishment. Al-Awlaki, an American citizen, was given no trial, no representation, no appeal, no opportunity to defend himself legally at all. None. He was declared a terrorist by the government, again with no due process, and assassinated. That doesn't mean that the moral discrimination about the killing itself is changed, only that the consequences for a supposedly free society are different.
The two men are of course different animals and I judge them, in that way people do, as of different moral character. I have different feelings towards all of the many victims of murder that I'm aware of. I don't suggest that Anwar Al-Awlaki is the same as Troy Davis, nor do I judge Davis in precisely the same way that I judge the victims of any other killing. My stance on the righteousness of killing is not the same as my stance on the righteousness of individuals.
But let me be absolutely clear and unambiguous: on the moral status of the act of killing Troy Davis, or Anwar Al-Alwaki, or the victims of 9/11, or of American soldiers killed by insurgents, or of insurgents killed by American soldiers, or of Osama bin Laden-- I recognize no difference. Not one solitary ounce of difference. The character of someone killed is utterly and permanently irrelevant to the moral status of that killing. It is as wrong to kill Hitler as it was wrong to kill his victims. I have thought for a long time and I have decided that I am forever out of the business of adjudicating the rightness of this killing or that. It has taken time but my conscience has decided on "always wrong."
Please, tell all the keyboard warriors you know, and let them flame on. I really don't give a shit.

Does anybody have an AK 22 conversion kit that the can take a ton of photos of or rent out for mesurements only. Reson I ask is becuase I'm thinking of machining my own
Does anybody have an AK 22 conversion kit that the can take a ton of photos of or rent out for mesurements only. Reson I ask is becuase I'm thinking of machining my own
How about photos from the WASR22, that would also help out.
I would also like to make a .22 AK plinker from a flat and maybe use a parts kit which doesn't have a barrel. The Black Dog Machine magazines will make it work well with a 30 round capacity.
The second option is to to use an AK receiver with 10/22 internals that uses less expensive 10/22 hi cap magazines.
Die terrorist scum!
Two weeks ago I spoke to Black Dog Machine and they plan to make parts for the WASR-22 in the fall. I asked them to make parts available so I can build one off a receiver.
Presently they are busy with other projects and will dedicate time for the .22 AK when the other projects are complete.
Die terrorist scum!
You might consider buying a conversion kit copying it and then reselling it. that way you can figure out all the things wrong with it before you make your own.
Id also like to see a kit or parts avaliable to make your own wasr 22 style gun from a reciver with a few AK parts used. a blow back trunion with a carrier/bolt an the entire gun could be built from after market parts and even some air soft accessories. Id think there would be some market for it.
as far as a a 10-22 in a AK reciver it would work. Im just not into covering one gun with another to make it look like some thing else. just keep it a 22 or trick out the 22with the avalaible up grades. IMOO there a whole differant plat forma and hoppy that is very cool the way they are. Im going to varmitise mine soon
It would be quite hard to build a conversion. Last I heard black dog is going to build a kit to build off of a flat because the inner rails are different and since they are spot welded on it would be too hard to convert your current receiver
The AK trainers just use the top rails. The ATK-98 uses the top rails as does the MPI-69 (german .22 trainer).
"To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em."
Ted Nugent - speaking at the NRA convention April 17, 2005
I know that I would be interested in making a 22 AK. It sounds like an interestin project and I have always wanted one in that cal.

Perhaps you will remember me as a student of Miss Sarah Rigles Milne from Portland, Oregon. I would like to thank you for the fabulous job you did fitting me with the new Suffolk Solos. I just love my new shoes and they truly are the long-awaited answer to my prayers! The fit of the shoe is flawless. The time you spent listening to me and working with me to find a perfect match for my foot is greatly appreciated. And Miss Sarah just loves the shoes on my feet. I am also pleased as punch with my wonderful new mukluk boots, as they are just the thing needed to warm my foot muscles before dancing. Your shop is great and the service is impeccable. I've been to dance stores across the states from New York to Oregon and yours is definitely the best! Feel free to post my message if you like. You'll be hearing from me for sure when it's time to order more Solos.

The Year in Argentine Beef - 2011
It´s the Argentine National Day of the Gaucho! What better time to look back on the state of the Argentine National Dish: Grass-fed, Free-range BEEF?
Was it a good year? I guess it depends on whose ox was gored in 2011.
Supplies of any kind of Argentine beef are down. Prices for beef ...from on-the-hoof to your supermercado ...are up. Grass-fed, no-grain beef is disappearing rapidly while feedlot beef takes the day over and over again.
The number of cattle in Argentina continued to drop in 2011 ...20% in just in the last 4 years. At the same time, the number of cattle that went to slaughter went up 10% from last year's incredible, historic lows. What´s that mean? Answer: fewer and fewer cattle and cattle-ranchers in Argentina.
Why are the numbers of cattle dropping? Answer: the irresistible pull and profit from soy. Raising free-range cattle is not all that complicated, as you might imagine. However, growing genetically modified soy is so simple that it is often referred to as "the farmer-less farm." You spray, you plant, you spray again, you wait, you harvest ...then sell at historically high prices. The local saying is, "most of the soya in Argentina is planted in Buenos Aires ...by telephone." You can literally "phone it in" ...and reap big profits even when soy exports are taxed at 35%.
What´s a cattleman to do? Switch to soy. It´s a no-brainer. The money is so big that you can´t say no to it. It´s the "offer you can´t refuse" especially when an outside company offers to pay you in advance, in US dollars, to plow-up your pastures. You don´t care if the crop fails ...you already got paid in hard cash ...but your pasture and your herd are gone.
For cattlemen who have resisted soy´s siren song ...there is a consolation prize: prices of live cattle continue to rise. Within the last four years, cattle prices have quadrupled for the most sought after categories.
But those live-cattle prices are the same for both feedlot producers and the remaining traditional free-range ranchers. As such, there really is no economic reason for grass-fed ranchers to continue. 2011 did not see the emergence of "boutique meat" or any sort of premium for ranchers who continue avoid feeding their cattle anything but grass.
For that reason, as much as any other, only 20% of beef in Argentina came from all-grass ranches in 2011 ...down from virtually 100% in 1993.
My contacts in the meatpacking industry, however, inform me that there actually is a premium for what little grass-fed beef remaining in Argentina. High-end steakhouses in Buenos Aires entice their suppliers to steer any obviously grass-fed beef to their restaurants. In 2011, supplies of grass-fed beef even to those well-heeled establishments fell short. For about a month this year, bife de lomo (filet mignon) of any kind was almost impossible to find anywhere.
The old saying from the commodity traders in Chicago is, "high prices cure high prices," meaning that if the price of beef is at an all-time high ...beef production will inevitably rise as investors enter that market in search of those high returns. However, beef cattle has a natural cycle that is different from soy, corn, or household appliances.
Pastureland is economically easy to convert to grain production. However, once converted to grain, it is a difficult proposition to revert to pasture. A soy farmer, for example, would have to "give up an annual payday" harvest to wait for grass to return. Even then, to populate his newly returned pasture with cattle is difficult because the price of live cattle is so very high now. No one appears willing this year to give up a year´s soy profits in order to grow grass for cattle for which they will have to pay record prices ...then wait a year to send the calves to feed lots ...or the 3 years to fatten the cattle on grass. Future free-range beef will no doubt come from those small and medium ranchers who have not given-up the method. Expansion of beef production in Argentina doesn´t seem to be in the cards in the near term.
To add insult to the injury which the beef industry has felt this year, Argentines are turning away from their national dish due to its high price. Argentines consumed a whopping 216 pounds of beef per person in 1958. This year, the average may end up being about 100 pounds. In 2011, beef consumption dropped 25% from the year before. The title of "beef-eatingest nation" fell to Uruguay last year and remains so.
World-class beef in Argentina was as much of the national patrimony as cheap gasoline is for US citizens. No one I know would have imagined either disappearing without a major expression of discontent. As it has happened in 2011, Argentines have not complained in any notable fashion. My opinion is that all the beef available outside the toniest restaurants ...just isn´t as satisfying as it used to be anyway.
Are exports sucking-up all the good stuff? Not a chance. I have not seen export figures for this year yet. However, 2010's figures were the lowest in a decade. Nothing has convinced me that the 2011 figures will not follow that trend. We´ll see.
Once the PBR of a proud people, the reknowned Argentine beef (even feedlot beef) has become akin to champagne in 2011.

Chattanooga at Elon
Rhodes Stadium (11,500) – Elon, N.C.
Saturday – Oct. 19, 2013
Head Coach Russ Huesman
Thoughts on the game:
"I think it is a big win. Elon played really, really hard. That was the best I have seen their defense play all year. They got after us. They were tackling really well. I don't think we moved the ball really well today, but we made some big plays when we had to, and that is important.
"Holding them to three field goals again today was huge. Our defense is playing really, really well, but we have to continue to get better. We are doing enough things defensively to win ball games."
On the fake punt in the first quarter:
"We knew we had it. After the first time they lined up, we knew we had it. I was actually going to call it another time, but we went for it on fourth down. That's scary stuff. That takes years off my life every time I call something like that. If it works, everybody is patting me on the back. If it doesn't, I'm the dumbest person."
"I have done anything like that (this year) because I thought our offense was in control of a lot of things and I felt good about where our offense was going. But we were struggling. I thought we needed a spark. Obviously the 24 yards on that really helped us."
On the play of Nick Pollard:
"I thought Nick's last punt was huge. He killed that thing. Nick has been really good for us."
On the play of Davis Tull:
"He is such a good player. We have to continue to find ways to not let the offense take him out of the game. I am not sure if they did or not today, but we have to find ways to keep that from happening."
Davis Tull – Jr. – DE
On setting new career sack record:
"It's a pretty cool feeling knowing I passed J-Will who kind of taught me the tricks of the trade. I learned everything from him and Coach (Marcus) West. It's an awesome feeling."
On keeping opponents out of the end zone for 2 weeks in a row:
"It's great for our defense to step up like that. Our red-zone defense has not been where we've wanted it to be lately. We started out giving up too many touchdowns. Actually (Josh) Freeman and I were talking about it in the third quarter. We wanted to stay strong…we didn't want to give up a touchdown today."

When it comes to Jodi Arias trial, we're all guilty
Look, let's stop all the nonsense!
There can only be one verdict in the Jodi Arias murder trial going on in downtown Phoenix: guilty! Without a shadow of a doubt, guilty.
Not the defendant, Jodi Arias, that's up to the jury. I'm talking about us, all of us who are hanging on every salacious, titillating word of her testimony, which I believe is now going into its second year.
If there really is a movie being discussed, they already have enough material for two sequels and if the film has the same attraction as the trial, it will be a smash.
People lined up outside the courthouse every day just to get a seat at the erotic drama called "50 Shades of Travis." Every lurid sex act described in detail prior to her early-onset dementia that prevents her from remembering the shot to the head, the 27 stab wounds and the slashed throat. But you can't remember everything!
And why is it always called the Mormon Murder trial? If a Presbyterian did it, would that be included?
Perhaps, but only by Nancy Grace and her nightly TV autopsy.
I'm Pat McMahon.

Texas A&M and Rice University "offer unique benefits that can be overlooked when the numbers are crunched." At least that's the conclusion The Daily Beast came to when the news site included the two Texas universities in their 25 " Amazing but Overlooked" colleges list.
Even without The Daily Beast's kind acclamation, A&M is nothing to sneeze at, holding impressive rankings as a public institution and for its research funding. But the Beast zeroed in on something more specific: social media savvy. With a 5,200-acre campus filled with 50,000 students, the university has adeptly employed online tools to unite current students and attract prospective ones, the Beast claims. A campus-wide scavenger hunt using Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, and YouTube helped ignite a follower base two years ago. Now the university brags 66,506 Twitter followers and "record engagement" on its Facebook page, which was ranked one of the top 10 pages in the U.S. last year. The Aggies even have 18 boards on Pinterest, including "14 Days of SEC!" and "Aggie I Do."
Located beside Houston's museum district, Rice, too, is a nationally ranked university—number 17 according to U.S. News & World Report. However, it's not recognized nearly enough for its diversity, the Beast argues. Of the 3,700 undergraduate students enrolled in 2011, less than half were from in-state; ten percent were international students. The institution is racially diverse too, the Beast reported: a fifth of students are Asian and another fifth are Hispanic or African-American.
Disagree with The Daily Beast's Top 25? Or think more Texas U's oughta be on that list? Nominate them here.

On the positive side, following a disastrous house move (more on that later), a holiday had never been more welcome.
On the downside, an overly fastidious villa owner and a boating 'incident' (more on those too!) somewhat lessened our joy.
The destination, Corsica. Like France, but with a whole new language and smiling people. Mountains, goats' cheese and cured hams about sums it up.
To be fair, it's very pretty, but once the kids had seen one 'village with awesome view', they'd pretty much seen them all. The pool beckoned.
Beaches were excellent, but we had skin rash issues (boys with mild eczema). Local beer was very good, but at 4 Euros a pop for a 25cl bottle, we were going to need a cashpoint way before we needed a taxi. Very expensive all round actually, especially eating out.
We rented a private villa, so that the 3 boys could have their own space and take over the swimming pool. Very nice too – owned by an English couple, so we set about daily holiday life in the normal way. Lots of baguettes and ham, and as little cooking as possible.
The wasps were the first real issue – we ate out only once in 14 days due to their ever-buzzing presence. Now, in the UK this might be understandable, but when the temperatures are soaring and there is no air conditioning inside, it's a choice between death by heat exhaustion or death by wasp. No brainer really.
Pool – tick, scenery – tick, food – should have been at least 3 michelin star standard for the bloody prices we were paying, so no ticks there, youngest child's behaviour – there is a stair in the villa which has a bottom-sized shape ingrained into it, from Oliver's frequent and lengthy 'thinking time'.
The highlight of the whole fortnight? Watching wee Oliver metamorphose from a scared, clinging toddler in orange armbands every Wednesday at his swimming lessons, to an adrenalin-hungry, 'I'm diving not falling', goggle-toting, underwater swimming, pool-obsessed water baby, in less than one week. Priceless.
The main event was a long, curvy sick-inducing drive to the little town of St Florent, from where we had decided to hire a small motor boat for a day of beach hopping. Very hot – this would therefore be the day when the air conditioning in our hire car also went into melt-down. Great. As we arrived at the somewhat remote boat hire shack, Oliver announced "I want a poo". No 'toilettes' anywhere, nor any likelihood of a suitable place after we'd stepped foot on the boat for some hours to come. This was eventually dealt with, and we returned to get the boat. No problem, just don't go beyond this certain beach as it's a bit windy and the sea may get a bit rough beyond that point, said the man (or at least that's what I think he said – my A level French has gone a bit rusty after 25 years of non-use). Off we went, and enjoyed a great day of swimming, snorkelling and pootling in and out of various bays and coves. At around 2pm, a very nice man with a slight note of panic in his voice came searching for us in a larger boat, and advised us that he was here to 'rescue' us. The sea was now apparently so bad that we would not have made it back in our pathetic dirigible, so we hauled our wet selves and our wet gear onto his boat and headed for shore. He was right. Big waves and strong wind met us full in the face. I must confess we were all just a little bit scared, apart from Ollie, who managed to fall asleep at this point of the journey.
Anyway, a good time was had by all, and the boys are truly all amazing little people. Watching them grow is a privilege.
We cleaned the villa (in the sort of perfunctory manner in which you clean a rented home, if you understand my meaning. When you've paid £3000 for your accommodation, you are paying someone else to have to do all the hard housework in between guests stays) and left. We arrived home to an email from the villa owners (whose anonymity I shall retain until they have paid me back my security deposit) stating that they were deducting £29 from the £400 deposit for glass breakages and cleaning of sheets, floors, emptying of bins etc. Surely missing the economical logic that it ain't worth arguing over £29 unless you want to lose a potential £3000 from a return visit next year……..Is it me? You can't make this stuff up, you know!

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
To The Editor:
Vermonters have a wonderful opportunity this fall to elect a woman with impeccable credentials for state treasurer. We need to send Wendy Wilton to Montpelier so she can do for the state what she has done for Rutland.
When Wendy was elected Rutland city treasurer in 2007 she inherited a $5 million deficit and helped turn it around to a $3.8 million positive fund balance. She's produced the first "clean" audit the city has seen in 32 years. She's a woman who gets things done effectively. Find out more about her at wendywilton.org.
Vermont has serious fiscal challenges ahead. From revamping our health care to the $3 billion in state unfunded liabilities, now is certainly not the time to rubberstamp or shrink from our challenges. Wendy Wilton's proven track record of accomplishment is just what the doctor should order this November. She will shine the light on the state's finances!

Area Designations for 1997 Ground-level Ozone Standards
This web site provides information on the process EPA, the states, and the tribes follow to designate areas as "attainment" (meeting) or "nonattainment" (not meeting) the ground-level ozone standards established in 1997.
A designation is the term EPA uses to describe the air quality in a given area for any of six common air pollutants known as criteria pollutants. One of these pollutants is ground-level ozone. (The other criteria pollutants are particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and lead.) Breathing air containing ozone can reduce lung function and increase respiratory symptoms, thereby aggravating asthma or other respiratory conditions. Ozone exposure also has been associated with increased susceptibility to respiratory infections, medication use by asthmatics, doctor visits, and emergency department visits and hospital admissions for individuals with respiratory disease. Ozone exposure may also contribute to premature death, especially in people with heart and lung disease. High ozone levels can also harm sensitive vegetation and ecosystems.
EPA strengthened the air quality standards for ground-level ozone in 2008. The Agency expects the area designations will take effect in 2010.
This web site contains the following information:
State Designations: Provides a table of EPA's final designations.
Tribal Designations: Provides a table of EPA's final designations.
Reclassifications: Provides information pertaining to reclassification of areas near the threshold of their classifications.
Redesignation Requests: Section 107(d)(3)(E) of the 1990 CAA allows states to request nonattainment areas be redesignated to attainment providing certain criteria are met. EPA is beginning to receive redesignation requests.
Air Quality Forecast: Two-day air quality forecasts, including ozone, for dozens of cities. (Some include web cam shots of real-time conditions)
Basic Information: Background on ozone attainment issues and EPA actions to address ozone emission concerns.
Regulatory Actions: Links to regulatory documents and information explaining regulatory actions related to ozone emissions.
Myths and Facts: Clears up common misconceptions concerning nonattainment and its impacts.
Ozone Docket: To read comments submitted to the public docket about the recommendations from States and Tribes, please visit the 8-hour ground-level ozone designations docket, number OAR-2003-0083.
