Matthew McConaughey — There is Redemption
I never thought of Matthew McConaughey as a joke, but a few years ago a lot of critics did, and he didn't do much to dissuade any of them. He was becoming a guy who appeared in movies (really bad movies) like FOOL'S GOLD. He was becoming someone whose career consisted of taking off his […] [Read More]
The Movie Stars — The Actresses
As I mentioned Friday, we asked people a while back to name the first people they could think of when they heard the phrase "movie star." We published male star results on Friday. Today we take a look at the women. This is not about who is better, but about who bypasses the intellect and […] [Read More]
Movie Stars — The Actors
A couple of months ago I invited readers to do a word association test. I said that I would say two words, and they were to write the first five to ten names that came to mind that exemplified those words. The important thing was that they not think about it. They weren't to decide […] [Read More]

When Bad Movies Happen to Good Directors
Terrence Malick's TO THE WONDER is ambitious, occasionally inspired and often interesting, but there is just no way to call it a good movie. Yet he is one of the greatest directors in the world, the best American film director living, in my opinion. You can read my review of TO THE WONDER here. Hey, […] [Read More]

Best Antique Store St. Louis 2008 - Warson Woods Antique Gallery
10091 Manchester Road
St. Louis, MO 63122
The booths in the Warson Woods Antique Gallery all have a curated look, unlike the usual hoi polloi hodgepodge of lesser antique malls. "Mall" really isn't a classy enough word for this place, or for the dealers here, whom you can sometimes glimpse as they replenish their stock — cardigans tied around shoulders, headache bands clamped in place, tennis whites spotless. (Just adding a quick silver service before dashing off for a hard serve at the Racquet Club.) Each booth seems styled to emanate a long-ago place. Upper Michigan Lake Cottage circa 1910, with chipping green wicker. Debutante Boudoir circa 1919, with apricot ostrich feathers. Cocktail Lounge circa 1928, with French art deco marble and wood bar. Hunting Lodge circa 1933, with pointer lithographs. It's a rare treat to drift along the aisles in a time-travel haze, coveting every single thing you see! You really don't have to search hard at all to find something you must have here. Which — strangely — takes away none of the treasure-hunting fun.

David Lippincott in 2014 is in his fourth season with the Bengals in a full staff coaching position. For the third straight year he will serve as Assistant Linebackers/Defensive Quality Control coach, assisting LBs coach Matt Burke in the development of the Bengals' young corps of linebackers.
This is Lippincott's seventh season with the Bengals. From 2008-10, he was in a support role as a coaching assistant. He now handles defensive video breakdowns and game plan preparation, and he has had previous on-field duties with front-seven players.
Lippincott has worked the past two seasons with LB Vontaze Burfict, who joined the Bengals from the college free agent ranks in 2012, Lippincott's first year with the LBs assistant title. Burfict quickly developed into one of the NFL's most prolific tacklers and was in last season's Pro Bowl after leading the team with 204 total stops.
Also in 2013, the Bengals saw the strong emergence of third-year LB Vincent Rey, another original college free agent signee. The defensive staff oversaw an improved 2013 performance from starting MLB Rey Maualuga, a fifth-year player, and also worked with a decorated veteran in five-time Pro Bowler James Harrison, who had a productive season at age 35 after joining the Bengals as a free agent. Maualuga was second on the team in tackles (110). Harrison played 15 games with 10 starts as a situational performer and contributed 40 tackles, two sacks, an INT and a forced fumble.
In 2013, as the Bengals finished 11-5 to win the AFC North Division championship, the defense ranked first in the AFC and third in the NFL in fewest yards allowed (305.5). The Bengals ranked tied for fifth in the NFL in fewest points allowed (19.1).
In 2012, the Bengals ranked sixth in net defense and eighth in scoring defense.
In 2014, Lippincott will work again with another promising player he helped develop. Rookie LB Emmanuel Lamur missed all of last season due to a preseason injury, but in 2012, he developed notably after starting as just a tryout player at the Bengals' rookie minicamp. His performance earned him a spot on the Bengals' training camp roster, and during the season he played in 10 games, including a start in the Wild Card playoff at Houston. Lamur was projected for a significant role in 2013 before being sidelined.
As a Bengals coaching assistant from 2008-10, Lippincott's duties included advance scouting and coaching wide receivers, as well as game preparation. His 2009 work contributed to the Bengals' second AFC North Division title during the tenure of head coach Marvin Lewis.
Prior to joining the Bengals, Lippincott coached in college for three seasons at Bluffton University (2000-02), two seasons at Minnesota (2003-04) and three seasons at Richmond (2005-07). He worked with all three defensive position groups — line, linebackers and defensive backs — over the course of his college seasons.
During his two seasons at Minnesota, when he worked as a graduate assistant on defense, the Gophers posted wins in the Sun and Music City bowls.
At Richmond, where he was assistant defensive line coach, the team won an Atlantic 10 title in 2005 and a Colonial Athletic Association crown in '07. The 2005 team was a quarterfinalist in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs, and the '07 team was a semifinalist in the (re-named) FCS division.
Lippincott is married (wife Lisa), and he is a Cincinnati native — a graduate of Moeller High School and the University of Dayton.
Coaching history: 2000-02—Assistant coach (AC), Bluffton. 2003-04—Graduate assistant, University of Minnesota. 2005-07—AC, Richmond. 2008-10—Coaching assistant, Cincinnati Bengals. 2011-present—AC, Cincinnati Bengals.

Last week, the Arizona Secretary of State's office announced that it will begin auditing statewide and legislative "independent expenditure committees," that engage in political activism without registering as political action committees ("PACs"). If the Arizona Secretary of State determines there is reasonable cause to believe an organization improperly failed to register as a PAC, it will refer the matter to the Arizona Attorney General for enforcement.
Arizona law generally requires an organization to register as a PAC if its "primary" purpose is to influence elections. In identifying an organization's primary purpose, authorities consider all the facts and circumstances rather than fixating on any one factor. Authorities consider, for example, the percentage of expenditures devoted to political advertising, the topics discussed at organizational meetings, the amount of time and attention the organization invests in non-political activities and the goals listed in the organization's founding documents. No one factor, taken alone, determines whether an organization is required to register.

The disorders are usually caused by ...Read Article Now Book Mark Article I Would Like to Learn About:Expand All Collapse All Causes A defect in the HGD gene causes alkaptonuria.The gene defect makes the body unable to properly break down certain amino acids (tyrosine and phenylalanine). As a result, a substance called homogentisic acid builds up in the skin and other body tissues. The acid leaves the body through the urine. The urine turns brownish-black when it mixes with air.Alkaptonuria is inherited, which means it is passed down from parents to their children. If both parents carry the defective gene related to this condition, each of their children has a 25% chance of developing the disease. Symptoms Urine in an infant's diaper may darken and can turn almost black after several hours. However, many persons with this condition may not know they have it until mid-adulthood (around age 40), when joint and other problems occur.Symptoms may include:Arthritis (especially of the spine) that gets worse over time Darkening of the ear Dark spots on the white of the eye (sclera) and corneaScleraThe sclera is the white outer wall of the eye.

Although water is plentiful on our planet, it carries dissolved and suspended matter that must be removed to produce drinking-quality water. Aggregation, filtration, flotation, and sedimentation of particles are some of the engineering processes now used to treat water. These processes are governed by the interaction of particles with solid-liquid or gas-liquid interfaces.
There are several mechanisms that contribute to the interaction force between a particle and other particles or surfaces in the suspension. There are van der Waals, electrostatic, hydrophobic, gravity, hydrodynamic, steric, magnetic, and other forces. The sum of forces determines the aggregation rate and distribution of particles near interfaces.
Researchers used the Spallation Neutron Source Liquids Reflectometer to quantify the distribution of silica particles near the surface of a silicon oxide substrate in water as a function of distance from the surface. Combined with measurements of particle size and zeta potential, this information is being used to evaluate particle interaction models and the colloidal theory.
The results provide quantitative information that can be used to improve the removal of colloidal particles from water.
Research conducted at the Spallation Neuton Source was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Basic Energy Sciences.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Deborah Gilleran
Lakewood, N.J., Mar. 10, 2009—On Tuesday, March 31, at 6:00 p.m., join Georgian Court University for a free poetry reading by former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins, Ph.D. The event, which is presented by the Department of English, Communications, and Writing, will take place in the Casino building on the Lakewood campus. Although tickets are free, reservations are required by contacting the GCU Office of Conferences and Special Events at 732.987.2263 or email@example.com.
The name of the author is the first to go
followed obediently by the title, the plot,
the heartbreaking conclusion, the entire novel
which suddenly becomes one you have never read, never even heard of,
as if, one by one, the memories you used to harbor
decided to retire to the southern hemisphere of the brain,
to a little fishing village where there are no phones.
Long ago you kissed the names of the nine muses goodbye
and watched the quadratic equation pack its bag,
and even now as you memorize the order of the planets,
something else is slipping away, a state flower perhaps,
the address of an uncle, the capital of Paraguay.
—Excerpt from Billy Collins' "Forgetfulness" from Questions about Angels (1999)
About Billy CollinsBilly Collins is an American phenomenon. No poet since Robert Frost has managed to combine high critical acclaim with such broad popular appeal. His work has appeared in a variety of periodicals including The New Yorker, The Paris Review, and The American Scholar, he is a Guggenheim fellow and a New York Public Library "Literary Lion." Three of his most recent collections of poems have broken sales records for poetry. His readings are usually standing room only, and his audience—enhanced tremendously by his appearances on National Public Radio—includes people of all backgrounds and age groups. The poems themselves best explain this phenomenon. The typical Collins poem opens on a clear and hospitable note, but soon takes an unexpected turn; poems that begin in irony may end in a moment of lyric surprise. No wonder Dr. Collins sees his poetry as "a form of travel writing" and considers humor "a door into the serious." It is a door that many thousands of readers have opened with amazement and delight.
Dr. Collins has published many collections of poetry, including Questions about Angels; The Art of Drowning; Picnic, Lightning; Taking Off Emily Dickinson's Clothes; Sailing Alone Around the Room: New & Selected Poems; Nine Horses; and The Trouble With Poetry and Other Poems. A collection of his haiku, titled She Was Just Seventeen, was published by Modern Haiku Press in Fall 2006. He also edited two anthologies of contemporary poetry: Poetry 180: A Turning Back to Poetry and 180 More: Extraordinary Poems for Every Day, and was the guest editor of The Best American Poetry 2006. His latest poetry collection, Ballistics, was published in September 2008.
Included among the honors Dr. Collins has received are fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Guggenheim Foundation. He has also been awarded the Oscar Blumenthal Prize, the Bess Hokin Prize, the Frederick Bock Prize, and the Levinson Prize—all awarded by Poetry magazine. In October 2004, Dr. Collins was selected as the inaugural recipient of the Poetry Foundation's Mark Twain Award for humorous poetry.
In June 2001, Dr. Collins was appointed U.S. Poet Laureate 2001–2003. In January 2004, he was named New York State Poet Laureate 2004–2006. He is a distinguished professor of English at Lehman College of the City University of New York, where he has taught for over 40 years.
Founded in 1908 and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, Georgian Court University is a comprehensive university with a strong liberal arts core and a special concern for women. A forward-thinking university that supports diversity and academic excellence, Georgian Court serves over 3,000 students of all faiths and backgrounds in a residential Women's College and a coeducational University College with undergraduate and graduate programs.

Matthew Yglesias of the Atlantic thinks he has caught out John McCain:
More ignorance from John McCain:
When McCain made a foreign policy gaffe in Jordan on Tuesday, it was Sen. Joe Lieberman who quietly pointed out the mistake, giving McCain an opportunity to correct himself in front of the international press corps. In Israel yesterday, NBC's Lauren Appelbaum reports, Lieberman once again intervened when McCain made an incorrect reference about the Jewish holiday Purim — by calling the holiday "their version of Halloween here."
Admittedly this falls more in the "haha he doesn't know what he's talking about" category than in the "holy s–t he doesn't know what he's talking about" category where the Iran/al-Qaeda confusion belongs.
This is embarrassing, true — but far more for Matthew Yglesias and NBC's Lauren Applebaum. In the first place, it was Joe Lieberman who told McCain, who would have no particular reason to know this, that Purim was the Israeli Halloween. The holiday of Purim is the version of Halloween in Israel in the sense that it is the day on which children dress up in costumes and parade through the streets and get treats. (That's what hamantaschen, the triangular cookies whose photograph illustrates Yglesias's own item, are — treats.) It's a perfectly valid explanation of the holiday as it is celebrated in secular terms, and not only in Israel; my three-year-old daughter, for example, is getting dolled up as Cinderella when she goes to celebrate Purim this evening at synagogue, and she made a tie-dye t-shirt at her Jewish day school for the goings-on tomorrow.
For reasons having to do with religious Jewish political correctness, I expect, Joe Lieberman found it necessary to say that, of course, Purim is so much more, which it is; it is the commemoration of the salvation through wit and cleverness of the Jewish people from a genocidal threat emanating from Persia (which is to say, Iran).
All in all, I think this falls in the "haha he doesn't know what he's talking about" category when it comes to Internet desk jockeys who evidently know relatively little about the customs of their own people. And as for the "holy s–t" stuff involving Iran and Al Qaeda, I think Mr. Yglesias should scroll through some posts here at Contentions down to Max Boot's and learn something, maybe. Then go to shul this evening and get a glimpse of how there are actually children wearing…costumes.

Michelle Lewis is the editor of Wild About Health and our guest blogger today. She and I have laughed about how similarly we love blueberries and the season. Enjoy her Down East spin on my favorite fruit.
If you visit a Down East Maine town like Machias, Cherryfield or Jonesboro during the late summer harvest season, you will witness the special relationship the residents have with the wild blueberry. Talk of the harvest is everywhere: from farmers who own and manage land, from workers who harvest the berries, and from residents who sell them, bake them, or serve them in pies at the local diners or at the annual festival. Collectively, it seems, residents hope that the pull will be large, the weather will hold, and the season will be profitable.
Today, commercial harvesters do much of the work of removing wild blueberries from the field, but raking by hand still makes up a small percentage or harvesting, as it did when I was young and raked blueberries in Machias during the summer. Historically, migrant workers traveling from site to site were hired for the few weeks during August when the berries are at their peak. For them, it meant hard work and good money. For my best friend Janie and me, the harvest meant something else: money for school clothes.
At 13 or so, we were young and less serious than the other workers – mostly young men and a few local mothers – who raked for their livelihood. But we were energetic and driven; to us, our mission was every bit as important as theirs. We would persist during hot days under the sun by reminding ourselves that every motion of the rake was a part of a sleeve, each full bucket part of a shirt.
On the barrens, it was all business. No one stood and gazed at the sky, no one gossiped or laughed. There were no iPods then; sometimes you could hear a transistor coming from the lunch trailer. When no one was looking, I would push my hand into a full box of berries and to feel their cool pressure around my wrist. We'd stop just briefly to eat the lunches we'd packed, and then return to the field and bend over a sea of green and red leaves, the rhythm of swishing rakes all around us.
As a raker, time and focus is money. A clean "rick" (the bowling-alley shaped section designated with string) was of utmost importance to the farmer – leaving berries behind on the bush was like leaving dollar bills on the field. We balanced our need for clean raking with how fast we could complete a rick and bring our full buckets to the winnower where they would be poured into boxes. Each box was worth $8, and the more we filled, the more we'd have for our annual trip to Bangor before school started.
Our jobs lasted about ten days. We rode home in the back of a pickup after each day was over, our own rakes clattering on the truck bed, and I remember the silence of the ride and faces of the men we were riding with who had only more days of work ahead – after this field, another. After that, more work where they could find it. When the truck slowed near my house, it was a sign for me to launch off the back and walk the rest of the way home.
For the Love of Berries
Off the field, wild blueberries were everywhere. Pints were poured into batters at home, and in the local diners, pies burst with more berries than it seemed possible for a crust to hold. We knew the virtues of small and wild over those large cultivated globes. Wild was tastier: their natural variations, the result of hundreds of naturally-occurring varietal clones, created a unique and complex flavor. The color of wild was more intense as well, ranging from navy blue to deep ruby. Even the health benefits were lauded by locals. Blueberries had been boiled into teas and juice to cure ailments for hundreds of years. Wild also meant strong – wild blueberries endure harsh Maine winters, rough terrain, and intense ultraviolet light. As a result, they have developed protection that in turn protects us from disease when we eat them.
While it's impossible not to see plenty of wild blueberry stands dotting Route 1 in Maine this time of year, in fact, a very small percentage of the approximately 80 million pounds of wild blueberries
harvested in the state are sold fresh. The rest are individually quick frozen, preserving all the taste and nutrients when they are at their height of ripeness. These frozen blues go on to provide us with their benefits long after the fields are empty, the festival tents are broken down, and the talk in the local stores turns from the bounty of the harvest to the things at hand, until next year when it all begins again.
A Taste of Maine
Wild blueberries have been growing in Maine, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces for over 10,000 years. Their role in the American diet begins with the Native Americans. As Virginia M. Wright writes in The Wild Blueberry Book, [http://www.amazon.com/Wild-Blueberry-Book-Virginia- Wright/dp/0892729392] a handbook for all things blueberry, Wabankis harvested berries both to eat fresh and to dry for pemmican – a paste made of dried meat and fat. Today, the most coveted wild blueberry recipes are coffee-style cakes, scones, muffins and pies. But thanks to the recent decade's foodie movement, they often appear in less traditional forms. They brighten up salads, give pizzazz to proteins like pork, and help make a name for award-winning chefs in creative, locally-flavored dishes.
Chefs, home cooks, and bakers love wild because they have lower water content than cultivated, making them more flavorful, and because baked goods made with wild have more berries in every bite compared with cultivated berries – wild boasts twice as many berries per pound! (Read the most asked questions about cooking with frozen berries [http:// www.wildblueberryhealthblog.com/2012/03/faq-blue.html].)
There are so many ways to enjoy a taste of this iconic Down East ingredient. Pick your own, experience a chef's specialty made with wild, or make your own recipe at home. When you do, remember to tip your fork a bit in honor of the history and the harvest.
Enjoy, Michelle

Bartonville woman dies in house fire
By Associated Press & Denise Molina
Police say the home caught fire around 4 a.m. Tuesday. The woman and her teenage daughter were safely out of the home, but the woman ran back inside.
Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll has identified the woman as 44-year old Wendy Rybolt.
Police Chief Brian Fengel said officer Salvador Lopez tried to save the woman but was overwhelmed by smoke. Fengel said Lopez is recovering at a local hospital.
The fire is being investigated, but authorities say there doesn't appear to be anything suspicious.

I am a very sarcastic person
I am a very sarcastic person and have always been this way. Whether it stemmed from early rejection or a deeply troubling childhood and adolescence, I'll never know.
My sense of humor has often been called "mean" and "cynical." I've had nicknames such as "The Misery Chick" and "Sarcasmo." My constant barrage of sarcastic word vomit has landed me in hundreds of awkward situations and arguments that inevitably are worsened by my chronic sarcastic word diarrhea. It seems that even if the timing is really inappropriate, I can't help but find some way to make fun of it.
I even partly blame my attitude for my most recent breakup (though it may have also been my detailed James Brown mug shot chest tattoo that scared him.)
In any case, I am going to college soon and I was wondering if you could give me any advice on turning down the sarcasm. I don't actually hate people (not REALLY anyway,) and I do want to make friends and show professors that I'm not the miserable smart ass my mother says I am.
Try your best to reply, I understand the effort of which is extremely strenuous.
Dear Genevieve,
It is a delight hearing from readers like you who spend time to come up with such original problems to submit to the Sarcasm Society; after all, who would think to seek help regarding sarcasm from the Sarcastic Sage. Now, I am not saying that you don't have an actual problem; you do, but it's not being too sarcastic, it's being too original.
As far as sarcasm and college are concerned, you don't have to be worried about alienating people. College is the perfect place to be nihilistic and a jackass, especially if you are going to be majoring in some kind of artistic field or even writing or philosophy; people in those fields are expected to be miserable smart asses. Plus, your originality problem will also be resolved since you'll be required to stop thinking for yourself.
- Sarcastic Sage
Don't forget to submit your request for help to the Sarcastic Sage.

"Pedophilia, Necrophilia. Beheadings, Suicides, etc."
Those are some examples of what Facebook's outsourced content monitors must endure while filtering the Internet viscera, according to one who spoke to Gawker's Adrian Chen. Animal abuse, "bad fights, a man beating another," and "KKK cropping up everywhere," were other examples provided by employees of oDesk, a California-based content-moderation service staffed by employees in India, Mexico, the Philippines and Turkey who look at Facebook content.
The Internet can be a dark and horrible place, on this we should all agree. Despite the short-lived exceptions, such as the coordinated spam attack that littered Facebook with porn and gore in November, the social network remains a comparatively clean, well-lighted place. Thanks to a few disgruntled and/or traumatized content monitors in those countries, we now get a peek at how Facebook protects us, and more importantly, itself.
For every photo of a breast-feeding mother or nude drawing clumsily removed from Facebook, content monitors slog through overwhelming evidence of humanity at low tide. For the dirty job of censoring content on the social network that just filed a $100 billion IPO, at least one former oDesk employee told Chen he earned $1 an hour. Amine Derkaoui, a 21-year-old Moroccan man, vented to Chen about the oDesk job he describes as humiliating exploitation of workers, and let loose some long-held mysteries on the why and the how of Facebook's censoring process.
Derkaoui shared a one-page cheat sheet for moderators with categories such as "Sex and Nudity," "Hate Content," "Graphic Content" and "Bullying and Harassment." Chen notes:
When it comes to sex and nudity, Facebook is strictly PG-13, according to the guidelines. Obvious sexual activity, even clothed, is deleted, as are "naked 'private parts' including female nipple bulges and naked butt cracks." But "male nipples are OK." Foreplay is allowed, "even for same sex (man-man/woman-woman)" Even the gays can grope each other on Facebook.
Facebook is more lenient when it comes to violence. Gory pictures are allowed, as long somebody's guts aren't spilling out. "Crushed heads, limbs etc are OK as long as no insides are showing," reads one guideline. "Deep flesh wounds are ok to show; excessive blood is ok to show."
Drugs are a mixed bag. Pictures of marijuana are explicitly allowed, though images of other illegal drugs "not in the context of medical, academic or scientific study" are deleted. As long as it doesn't appear you're a dealer, you can post as many pictures of your stash as you want.
Though the cheat sheet is marked current as of January, a Facebook spokesperson told Chen the cheat sheet "provided a snapshot in time of our standards with regards to [one of our] contractors," adding that up-to-date information could be found on the social network at www.facebook.com/CommunityStandards."
Indeed, hours before Chen's original piece posted on Gawker, content monitors received an updated version of content monitor guidelines. Chen pointed out the prominent changes to the original:
In version 6.1, body fluids were banned. But in version 6.2, "bodily fluids (except semen) are ok to show unless a human being is captured in the process." In version 6.1, all Photoshopped images of someone were banned, whether they were positive or negative. But in version 6.2, only photoshopped images that show someone in a negative light are banned. All the pages now say "Proprietary and Confidential." Wonder why that is.
Here's what Facebook told msnbc.com in an official statement regarding its content-monitoring procedures:
"In an effort to quickly and efficiently process the millions of reports we receive every day, we have found it helpful to contract third parties to provide precursory classification of a small proportion of reported content. These contractors are subject to rigorous quality controls and we have implemented several layers of safeguards to protect the data of those using our service. Additionally, no user information beyond the content in question and the source of the report is shared.We have, and will continue, to escalate the most serious reports internally, and all decisions made by contractors are subject to extensive audits.
Of course, most of us are too busy complaining about the latest design change to think about who's keeping that remaining bodily fluid blocked in our News Feed. Chen notes, that's most likely how Facebook wants it. "If users knew exactly what criteria (were) being used to judge their content, they could hold Facebook to them," he writes. "It would be clear what Facebook was choosing to censor according to its policies, and what amounted to arbitrary censorship."
Still, considering what one might find via an accidental click on say, social news site Reddit, the job of an oDesk content monitor is unenviable. As one monitor told Chen: "Think like that there is a sewer channel, and all of the mess/dirt/ waste/s*** of the world flow towards you and you have to clean it."

Sixth-inning bombardment finishes Isles
CORPUS CHRISTI - The starting pitcher didn't make it out of the second inning. Two runners were thrown out at home plate in the fifth inning.
And it only got much, much worse Thursday night for Texas A&M-Corpus Christi's baseball team.
The coup de grace: An 11-run, eight-hit sixth for UTSA, which turned a game in which the Islanders were within striking distance into a full-bore rout. It was a rough opener for A&M-Corpus Christi in a key three-game Southland Conference series, with the Roadrunners sticking a 19-5, run-rule-shortened beating on the Islanders.
It was the fifth league loss in a row for A&M-Corpus Christi (11-15, 3-7) and the second successive via run rule, with this one over after the seventh. Whatever confidence was gained during a 16-run midweek beating of Texas-Pan Am dissolved at Whataburger Field.
"It's a bad roller coaster," Islanders coach Scott Malone said. "It seems we keep going down. I know it's a long season. As a coach you have to do everything to stay on an even keel. But, over the course of the last eight (games), it's been bad.
"And this is a rival. I like to think they get our best shot every time out. Obviously they didn't get it tonight. I'm really disappointed in how we played."
The disappointment stemmed from all facets of the game. Three errors made life miserable for starter Roy Ferdin (2-2), but so did six Roadrunners hits. Ferdin went 1.2 innings, getting pulled after surrendering four runs, two earned.
Malone's disappointment extended to reliever Brett Gibson, who allowed four earned runs in 2.1 innings. The offense generated nine hits, but only Trey Hernandez's solo home run in the seventh — with the game out of reach — went for extra bases.
Even with A&M-Corpus Christi getting on base, three baserunning miscues helped shut down Islanders rallies.
A&M-Corpus Christi scored one run in the fourth to cut the deficit to 5-2 and had runners at first and second. But, on a ball in the dirt, Jacob Perales strayed too far off first and was picked off by the catcher.
In a two-run fifth that cut UTSA's lead to 8-4, two Islanders base runners were thrown out at home. With runners on second and third and one out, Omar Garcia went home on a dribbler back to the mound and was cut down. During the next at-bat, A&M-Corpus Christi tried to get its runner at first in a rundown while stealing home, but a throw home by the first baseman nailed Chris Vergne.
It all was a prelude to the sixth.
UTSA (11-13, 2-8) sent 14 batters to the plate. Eight of the nine players in the lineup scored. Of the eight hits, six went for extra bases. The Roadrunners hammered four home runs. They didn't just clear the fence. They were no-doubters. The Islanders went through three relievers with little success.
All this coming from a team that entered the game batting .251 and had won one league game, though UTSA had played some of the Southland's better teams.
"We were positive in the middle innings, coming back," Malone said. "Obviously, (the pitching) is spinning away from us. I'm not ready to bury these guys by any means. Consistency is an issue. But San Antonio's hitting us in an 0-0 count, in a 1-2 count. Any count.
"I'm going to the same guy. I'll be ready to go to work (Friday). Those guys have to look in the mirror, 'Am I going to be beat? Or am I going to be ready to go?'"
W Selsor (4-2). L Ferdin (2-2). 2B UTSA: Wood, Rummel, James 2, Brown, Rockett. HR UTSA: Hutson 2 (7), Wood (3), Carpenter (1), Dalton (6). A&M-CC: Hernandez (10).

text: During this Fall semester I've really been thinking about going Greek. At first I didn't want to because I didn't think I had that much time in my schedule. However, I did some research on Greek life at BW and seen how they provide academic support such as study partners, study hours, and time management workshops. I also thought that this would be a awesome way to get involve, get service hours, and be apart of a sisterhood bond. So I didn't go through formal recruitment but I did go through informal recruitment and I LOVED IT!!! The girls were so nice and welcoming. I got to know a lot of girls as they got to know me, which was great. However they couldn't offer me a bid, which was really disappointing but maybe I can try again in the Spring.

The President and Congress successfully overhauled the healthcare system in a major way, making it possible for nearly four million Americans to get needed healthcare insurance. Despite this great – and historical – news, more work remains. One of the remaining obstacles we have to overcome is making sure health insurers can't raise their premiums by an exorbitant amount. Without oversight on this front, the benefits of the healthcare bill will be lost to many.
Insurer Anthem Blue Cross in California plans to raise its insurance premiums by 39-percent, a move that has many customers on edge. The company has put the rate hike on hold for now, but the very thought of such an increase from any insurer has legislators moving quickly to act. U.S Senator Diane Feinstein (D-California) and U.S Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Illinois) are pushing legislation that would prevent insurance companies from raising premiums without prior approval from a regulatory body. Some states already have this step in place, most do not.

A panel of voting rights and elections experts will be receiving testimony on a range of topics, including: voter turnout issues, voter registration, district apportionment, election administration (e.g., provisional ballots, polling location issues, and method of elections), voting discrimination, and access to the ballot for communities of color.

Greg Biffle liked the improvement Roush-Fenway Racing made on the short tracks like Bristol Motor Speedway last season.
However, he wasn't happy about the trade-off.
The driver of the No. 16 Ford explained while he won at Michigan last season, it was the only win on the intermediate tracks for the Roush organization.
"We have to be able to compete on every venue, short track, intermediate and the superspeedways," he said. "We had to pick up our short-track program. It's been a weakness with our team. We did that in 2013, but the problem was we lost our strangehold on the intermediate tracks. I wasn't happy about the trade since there are more intermediates than short tracks."
That doesn't mean he has anything against Bristol.
In fact, it's near the top of his wish list to win this Sunday's Food City 500. He emphasized he's extremely happy with the short-track improvement, which included a ninth-place finish in last August's IRWIN Tools Night Race.
His point about the intermediate tracks is that drivers who do well on those have a better shot at winning the series championship. He also called those tracks, the organization's "bread and butter," where they usually were among the teams to beat.
"That's been your bread and butter, and you roll off the truck top five," he said. "When you roll off the truck and you're 32nd, then you work on the car and you're still 32nd. That hadn't happened to us until last year and that caught us off guard. That's a focus this year to get more competitive on the intermediate tracks."
There is still a big emphasis on Bristol as one of the premier stops on the NASCAR tour. Biffle is still looking for a first win at the .533-mile oval where his best finish was third in the 2005 Food City 500. He qualified on the pole for the 2012 Food City 500 and led 41 laps before ultimately winding up 13th.
Overall, he has six top-five and 12 top-10 finishes in 22 Bristol starts.
The 44-year-old Vancouver, Wash., driver is coming off a disappointing 22nd place finish at Las Vegas, another of those intermediate tracks. While he believes the Ford Fusion is a good race car, evident by Penske Racing's Brad Keselowski winning Sunday, Biffle said his team needs create better handling cars on the track.
Part of it could be the process.
No longer does driver feel usually dictate the set-up of the car. The sport has changed where the car is set-up by engineers and it's the driver's job to adjust to that set-up.
"The sport has changed as technology has gotten better,": he said. "Four years ago, I was the guy picking the shocks, the sway bar from what I felt inside the car. Today, the computer picks it because it's like, 'It creates a little different jacking force.' That decision making has been taken away a little bit. I'm not saying it's better or worse. They make the decision, then I tell them if it's better or not."
He explained it's the same process with brakes where engineers pick the brakes based on scientific data instead of what is felt from the driver's seat.
Regardless of those changes, Biffle remains as hungry as ever to win races. He has adopted film study much like football and basketball players do to study race patterns and such. There is always motivation to win, he explained, whether it's a race on a local short track or the Food City 500.
"We never go out on the track without the motivation to win," he said. "I want to win at a place like Homestead as bad as I want to win the Daytona 500. That never changes. All we want to do is win all the time, not matter what the stake is. If you pay us, give us a trophy or whatever, that pride from inside that comes from winning, that's all it takes."comments powered by Disqus

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
What was Simon doing. That ball was no where near the line but he does not pick it up
Good grief. Game soon to be over. Maybe Ondrusek would have been better tonight.

Last Susan B. Anthony Dollar and First Sacagawea Dollar
Treasure your moments with our collector's item.
Last Susan B. Anthony Dollar & First Sacagawea Dollar.
The Susan B. Anthony Dollar was brought back into circulation for one last year in 1999. The dollar coin was designed by Frank Gasparro in 1979. It depicts the first non-fictitious woman on a US coin minted for circulation. The coin is composed of copper-nickel clad and resembles the size of a quarter. In 1998, the US Treasury's supply of dollar coins was near exhaustion which led to the Susan B. Anthony coin being re-struck again in 1999.
The first year issue of the Sacagawea golden dollar coin was designed by Glenna Goodacre and composed of a copper, zinc, manganese and nickel clad. It is a tribute to Sacagawea the Shoshone Indian guide to Lewis and Clark. Certificate of Authenticity is included.

We attempted to celebrate a coworker's birthday there and went for lunch. We were given a lunch specials menu and had to ask if they had any other options. The lunch menu had no pasta on it, Italian?, sandwiches and salads only. We were given another menu and then told that they did not have any water boiling to make pasta dishes and we could only order from the lunch specials. OK, choices changed. The greens were great and the bread was good. On the other hand the main lunches were less than adequate. We even had one chicken sandwich that was ice cold and raw throughout. The salads were to come with steak fries per the menu and then we were told that the salads do not come with fries. Did I mention that we arrived at noon and left at 2 not because we took that long to eat but because it took that long to get the food. The table next to us actually had members leave because it had been an hour and 15 minutes and they still hadn't been given their food. The waiter was wonderful,Torrence, and it was mainly because of him that we did not just walk out from the beginning. I would not recommend this restraunt to people who have children due to the long wait for food and not getting what you ordered nor would I recommend it to people without health insurance due to the raw chicken sandwich.

The greens are "out of this world!" So flavorful and delicious. I have tried the greens with and without the Hungarian peppers, and both ways are fabulous! If you want to add a little kick to the greens, then go with the Hungarian peppers! The gnoccis are not too heavy and excellent with the homemade sauce. The sausage was so tasty and cooked to perfection - it really enhanced the flavor of the dish. Friends of ours have ordered sandwiches, salads, other pastas (shrimp alfredo and chicken alfredo) and none of them have said anything negative about their meals! All meats and pasta were cooked to perfection. There hasn't been a bad meal at Nonni's! The portions are pretty generous and it is very evident that the food is very fresh, especially the salads. The restaurant is very well kept - very clean. Wait staff is wonderful. Not once have we had bad service. Prices are fairly reasonable - not inexpensive; not too overpriced. The eating area (table area) is very small; however, larger parties are easily accommodated if you are able to call and let them know in advance. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED RESTAURANT FOR THOSE WHO ENJOY ITALIAN FOOD!!!!
- Order: Italian greens (with garlic and Hungarian peppers), Gnoccis with homemade sauce and sausage
