Jacks return at Scuffle
The South Dakota State wrestling team returns to action at the Southern Scuffle after a one-month hiatus. Hosted by Tennessee at Chattanooga, competition is set for all day on Tuesday and Wednesday in Chattanooga, Tenn.
SDSU last wrestled in its first home dual of the season on Dec. 8. The Jacks hosted the SIUE Cougars and scored a 27-16 win fueled by four pins (Ben Gillette at 141, Dustin Walraven at 149, Cody Pack at 157 and Hunter Weddington at 184).
The win dropped moved SDSU's record to 3-5 on the season and propelled the team into its winter break.
First-year head coach Chris Bono and first-year assistant coaches Israel Silva and Andrew Sorenson lead SDSU. Bono posted a 39-17-0 record in three years at Tennessee at Chattanooga, including a 15-0 SoCon record. His squad won three SoCon regular season and tournament championships and he was named SoCon Coach of the Year all three seasons.
Southern Scuffle - In addition to SDSU, 22 other schools are scheduled to send participants to this year's Southern Scuffle. Of those 23, eight are ranked in the InterMat NCAA Division I tournament-strength rankings, the highest being top-ranked Penn State. Team rankings are listed in the left column.

The South Dakota State wrestling team ran the SIUE Cougars on Saturday night in Brookings, 27-16.
SDSU led from the beginning and never trailed in its first home dual of the season.
The Jacks started the dual on top, as the Cougars forfeited the 125-pound match to Aaron Pickrel.
After a Cougar decision at 133 pounds, the Jacks went on a run.
Ben Gillette started it with a pin of Drew Vrbenec at 141. Gillette was behind on the scoreboard, but used Vrbenec's position to his advantage by using his back for the pin.
In the 149-pound match, Dustin Walraven scored a decision versus Dillon Pousson. Walraven chipped away at the scoreboard and added the one-minute advantage in riding time for a 6-1 decision.
At 157, Cody Pack pushed the Jackrabbit lead higher with a pin versus Grant Sullivan. Pack dominated the first period, scoring takedowns at will. After a pair of takedown, escape combinations, Pack pinned his opponent at 2:11.
"Cody has the skills," head coach Chris Bono said. "He needs to believe he can do that against the top guys in the country, because he can. It is all in his hands; we have given him all of the tools. Once he decides that he can beat those guys, he can do it. I think tonight was a big turning point for him. I think we will see a different Cody second semester. He has done a great job academically and turned his whole life around. I look for big things from him."
The two teams broke for intermission after the 157-pound match.
SIUE scored two decisions at 165 and 174, the first in overtime and the latter in the closing seconds.
Hunter Weddington turned fortunes around, taking a page from Gillette's playbook. Weddington trailed on the scoreboard, but used Jake Tindle's position against him and scored the pin. The nine-point swing put the dual out of reach, as the Jacks led 27-9 with only two matches remaining.
"Gillette and Weddington's wins were big," said Bono. "Those are our true freshmen. They do not know any better than to go out there and fight. That is what we preach. It is a seven-minute match and we need to wrestle every second of it. Those two have been working their tails off and I am glad to see them having good fortune."
The Cougars scored a major decision at 197 and decision at 285, but it was not enough as SDSU held on for a 27-16 win.
"There were a lot of positives, but we have a lot of stuff we need to work on," Bono said. "I am proud of some of these guys, who kept fighting and came back to get falls; that is how you win matches and tournaments. We want to try and pin every opponent. I am happy for those young guys who got some wins to build confidence. We lost some matches I thought we should have won by one point here and one point there; we need to win close matches. We want to win all 10 matches, regardless. That is our goal. It is nice to win one and these guys seem to feed off of each other, but we try to win every match. The team score is what it is. If each individual goes out and takes care of his match, the team score will take care of itself. We will get back in the wrestling room and get going again."
"We are going to have a complete training phase," said Bono. "The guys do not have school, and that is big. It means we will have two or three workouts each day. We will work individually with them around finals and make sure they are studying. The guys will have time off during finals week with optional workouts, but I am sure they will come in for individual workouts. We will work hard for a handful of days before letting them leave for break. Now is the time to pick up the training and get ready for the second part of our schedule."
Head coach Chris Bono and assistant coaches Israel Silva and Andrew Sorenson announced the signing of the sixth-best recruiting class in the nation (The Open Mat, Amateur Wrestling News).
Eight student-athletes joined the Jackrabbit wrestling team on signing day, including three ranked by Amateur Wrestling News. Brandon Brunner, Hank Goettl, Colin Holler, Coltan Laganiere, Paul Mascarenas, Austin Oyen, Nathan Rotert and Matt Seabold make up the best recruiting class in SDSU history.
The No. 6 ranking makes it the best recruiting class for any sport in the history of Jackrabbit athletics.
SDSU returns home for a dual versus Simpson College on Jan. 11. Former Jackrabbit assistant wrestling coach Nate Hansen leads the Storm after coaching five seasons at SDSU. Start time is set for 7 p.m. in Frost Arena.

On Saturday Aug. 23, the Carbon Cross Country team traveled to Moab for the 8th annual Red Rock Invitational on Moab's golf course. Both the Varsity and JV boy's teams took first at the meet. The girl's team finished strong, but did not have enough members compete to finish in medal standing.
Even with temperatures reaching 100 degrees in Moab on Saturday, the team was hydrated and prepared. Seven teams were in attendance some of which included San Juan, Monticello, Green River, and Grand.
The Varsity and JV races were combined and the boys led the day off followed by the girls. Approximately 10 minutes after 10:00 am the gun fired sending adrenaline, stamina, and pure guts off the starting line with everyone fighting for a good position. The athletes covered 3.1 miles of grass and red dirt.
Carbon's Jared Richens and Jordan Tatton, seniors, went out strong and pushed the pace. Tatton finished fifth overall with a time of 20:01. Richens was a close seven seconds behind him in 6th place. Coach Telisse Allen commented that they both ran great races.
However these two were far from alone. Kaleb Kulow, Kaeden Kulow, and Luke Olsen finished up with with a stunning seventh, eighth and ninth place finishes. Carson Tatton and Nathan Hepworth wrapped up the varsity squad with overall finishes in 17th and 20th place.
With the top five Carbon runners finishing in the top 10 they guaranteed themselves a first place finish.
The JV boys were led by Justin Hepworth, a freshman, winning the JV race overall in a time of 20:25. Freshman Skylar Larsen placed 3rd overall. Brenden Hepworth, Preston Grant and Derik Quinton finished in the top 20 and helped bring home the 1st place JV team trophy.
For the girls, senior Patricia Smith and Moab's own Dayna Vandrosal took the early lead. They were running relaxed and quickly widened the distance between them and the 3rd place runner. Smith ran a great steady race. She ended up with a 2nd place overall finish and a time of 21:00. Teammates Karissa Nelson, Kacylia Ivory finished 10th and 12th both having great early season races. Kristin Jewkes also ran tough and fought to the finish. By not having a complete team of five they were unable to be in contention for a team trophy. However Smith, Nelson and Ivory brought home medals.
Coach Telisse Allen and assistant Stu Foster were excited with the performances and personal records obtained and looking forward to a competitive, successful season. On Aug 27 the team will travel through Salina Canyon and compete against Emery, Richfield and Juab.

Comments about Clayton Playboy Guitar Picks 12-Pack:
I originally bought these picks because I thought they looked cool with the playboy symbol, but I was surprised when after a month i realized that i was still using the same one and it hadn't been shaved down at all. They are easy to grip, don't slip out of your fingers, look cool, and last a long time. I highly recommend these picks, I love the.
Comments about Clayton Playboy Guitar Picks 12-Pack:
Derlin material is awesome. It doesn't slip out of your hand and is way more durable than a Dunlop Tortex(I know, they last forever. Well these last longer). I love the Mediums. The only thing I would change is to take the Playboy logo off. Playboy is too dated and lame. These picks are classier than that. I just scratch off the bunny.
Comments about Clayton Playboy Guitar Picks 12-Pack:
I bought this guitar pick excpecting it to be for looks, and let me say that it is a great pick. I use it when playing my Ovation ss celebrity acoustic guitar and i love the tone.
Comments about Clayton Playboy Guitar Picks 12-Pack:
Well, I picked up a dozen black hard Playboy picks at my local Guitar Center, and I'm impressed. They have a nice chalky feel that doesn't slip out of your hand while strumming. Also, while I can't speak for the medium/light guages, the hard picks do not wear very easily. These last maybe 50% longer than a regular Fender Heavy pick. A word of advice: the picture is too black. The real pick is actually grayer, like a gun metal type gray. Don't expect a true black.Other than that, it's a great pick that I'll more than likely buy in the future.
Comments about Clayton Playboy Guitar Picks 12-Pack:
These picks are great. I bought seven pink Hard gauge picks from my local music store and I haven't used a different one yet! They don't chip or wear out easily. They have a nice grip and they are the perfect size for me.
I tried these out at the NAMM show over the weekend. These are classy-looking picks that sound great, too. These are not just some cheesy picks with a rabbit-head logo slapped on.

Seattle, Washington. A Seafood Wonderland.
For the third year in a row, my wife and I found ourselves booking yet another flight to Portland for a weekend of indulgence. We had befriended epicureans alike and have even dubbed it our second home – it was just so comforting. But all this time, we never even looked towards Seattle until a few of our friends promised an abundance of fresh seafood and a solid cocktail scene. Sold. We would fly into Seattle first, drive down to Portland and fly from there back to Los Angeles. Double header!
We arrived in Seattle in the morning and were glad the sun had come out to say hello during the entire trip. We checked into a hotel with the optimal location: the Inn at the Market just right in front of the Pike Place Market – the market being the famous Pike Place Market. Touristy, yes. Busy, yes. Delicious, oh yes. There's no better way to experience Seattle than a trip through the multi-leveled marketplace. We even slept with the windows open because we enjoyed hearing the morning foot traffic and chatter around the market. Had I not overcome my food sickness from bad seafood nearly 20 years ago, Jeni and I might not have considered coming to Seattle. And what a shame it would have been not to experience some of the freshest, most amazing seafood from the Pacific Northwest. Even those that do not enjoy seafood, may find themselves converted seafood-lovers in a matter of a few bites. I know I've deemed this a seafood-focused posting but it would be an incomplete trip if I chose to skip out on meat. Now let's eat!
Within an hour of arriving and checking into the hotel, we headed over and immersed ourselves into one of Seattle's prime tourist attractions: the Pike Place market which opened in 1907. In any other situation where I would hear the "T" word, I would cringe in angst, but I had a good feeling about this place. With a beautiful sign blasting "Public Market", it has become synonymous with the cross of a church for those that believe in the religion of good eating. Gluttonous sinning is more than welcome here though. I couldn't explain the allure of this market. Maybe it was the tranquil harmony between locals and tourists. The loud applause from guys tossing dead fish at each other. Maybe it was the super fresh smell of seafood that got people so riled up. I'll tell you, decades of walking through 99 Ranch-like Asian markets can really taint your inkling of good seafood – but now, I know what fresh seafood should smell like.
A lot of vendors were passing out pieces of crab and smoked salmon, which seems to be the signature dish of the Pacific Northwest. Meaty and smokey, it was delicious. I had the taste of smoked fish in my mouth for about half an hour before washing it down with an ice cold beer. The guy on the right was taking people's orders and chucking them at the guys inside for cleanup.
Why would one eat at Red Lobster when you have the Pike Place market? Oh I know – you're lazy and boring!
Huge shrimp for sale. These had to be 3-5 per pound – expensive.
After about half an hour of walking around, we stopped over a few places that were regarded as some of the tastiest joints within the Pike Place Market. If you're coming here without any research done, it's best to ask the people that work at the market and get a consensus. We stopped at a shop called Uli's, and I deemed it a tiny "United Nations of Sausages." At Uli's one can find over 25 masterfully crafted varieties of sausages by German native Uli Lengenberg: from kielbasa to Portuguese linguiça and a number of American-style sausages. He had nearly two large display cases filled with his tasty offerings – this guy doesn't mess around. We learned that Lengenberg even has shops in Taiwan! The sausages were tasty – flavorful and not dry at all.
Order a few links on rolls or on a cutting board, and grab a beer.
The other restaurant that appealed to us was the corner shop with 15 people lined up outside of it: Pike Place Chowder. Normally, I don't really like cream-based soups or sauces due to its heaviness but this looked too good to pass up on. For $10.95, you can get a sampler of four chowders, and if I remember correctly, they offer 7-8 types of soups. They are best known for their seared scallop & dill chowder and smoked salmon chowder – both were excellent and were tasty enough to eat the actual cup itself. I'd save the crab roll for a future New England trip – nothing special.
With traveling, I was accustomed to packing in as many activities as possible and missing out on many of the simpler things – like walking around… slowly. I started getting back into shape recently and have enjoyed walking and admiring things I would normally miss while riding around on my high-velocity Trikke or Rollerblades from 1998. If I was rich, I'd get a Segway, but I'm not. It's amazing how much speed you can get on those things. I'm just kidding, I don't really know how much velocity those get.
If someone were to ask me how I would best describe Seattle, I'd have to say that is a greener, cleaner, quieter version of San Francisco. Both cities have hilly streets, excellent cuisine, are located along the water, offer great beer and truly enjoy the pleasures of smoking marijuana. I must add too that the transit system in Seattle is excellent. Using my iPhone, I was able to go anywhere using the map function and was even told the estimated bus arrival time! Say no to Trikkes, rollerblades and Segways; use el autobús! Taxis on the other hand weren't that cheap.
Walking and burning off all that cream from the chowder can be a beautiful thing.
On this trip, we were accompanied by my brother-in-law, Jeremy, and our friend Lindy. Jeremy is in his final year of RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) focusing on architecture and weekend partying. After eating he wanted to walk around and geek out on Seattle's architecture. In addition to the commonalities between Seattle and San Francisco, I may have to give Seattle the accolade for beautiful architecture. Why? The Seattle Central Library designed by Rem Koolhaas and Joshua Prince-Ramus. Words are unnecessary.
Taking a break from the beautiful but dizzying lines of Koolhaas' masterfully designed structure.
One of the coolest neighborhoods we stumbled upon was Capitol Hill, an area heavy in bars, coffeeshops, cafes, boutiques and music venues. Basically, not a lame area. This area was quite lively and reminded me a lot of the Sunset Junction area of Silver Lake, Los Angeles. We were walking around looking at shops when we were suddenly lured by the smell of food being fried. You know that smell – so bad but so good. We turned the corner to find that the fry action was from a place called Pike Place Fish Fry. This tiny fish shack offers four types of fried fish along with fries. Don't forget to order a beer and add malt vinegar on your fried fish. When I come back to Seattle again, I'll definitely be hanging more in this area.
Even though Seattle, at least to me, is known for its seafood, there were two places that people kept recommending: Salumi and Paseo. Both of which offer porcine sandwiches that are highly regarded by the citizens of Seattle.
Salumi is a charcuterie shop located in Pioneer Square run by a man named Armandino Batali. Yes, Batali as in Mario Batali, who is Armandino's heavy-set son. To tell you the truth, I'm not a huge fan of sandwiches and find them quite boring. And it doesn't help that I have to wait a good 20-30 minutes for it too. I didn't believe it when people warned us to get there early until I saw at least 15 people waiting 30 mins before opening. My experience with hype lines at the last few places I've tried have been utterly disappointing. I asked a guy in front of me what we were ordering and he replied, "the Porchetta and anything that is the special of the day". At 11 am sharp, the doors opened and I looked back to see that the line had grown another 25-30 people deep. Can 45 people possibly be wrong? Walking in, you're hit with the wonderful aromas of a charcuterie shop… a lingering odor of properly salted meat and cheeses. There were 4 women working the sandwich line and 1 woman working the cash register. "Porchetta and a lamb sausage sandwich for here please." The woman cut open a piece of bread with a serrated knife like a real Subway sandwich artist. She then used a slotted spoon and scooped out huge chunks of beautifully braised pork shoulder and layed it to sleep in the bread bed. But what I liked was that she really didn't drain out much of the juices and fat, instead letting them soak into the bread. She then cut up some lamb sausages and layed them into the bread with some sauteéd peppers. We sat down at our seats and as I held the glistening pig-on-a-roll, I looked over at Jeremy and Lindy who sank their teeth in first, awaiting their response to Batali's famed sandwich. Jeremy uttered a "mmm" and Lindy gave a nod of approval. Jeremy is a starving student so that "mmm" didn't mean much to me since he hasn't eaten well in months haha. I took my first bite and something extraordinary happened – juices started slowly flowing out of the sandwich down my hands and forearms! Now that's a fucking juicy sandwich! The sandwich exceeded my expectations – the meat was salted perfectly, moist and had a good amount of fennel which makes a sausage very delicious. Loved it. We bought 3 more sandwiches for our road trip down to Portland.
After a 2-hour nap, I started to get a barrage of comments response to my Facebook photos of Salumi's porchetta sandwich. At least six people insisted that I get out of bed and head on over to a quaint Caribbean sandwich shop called Paseo in the Fremont neighborhood. I arrived at Paseo easily within 15 minutes thanks to the bus and iPhone combination and saw a line of 10 people. Great, more waiting. But thanks to my earlier sandwich revelation at Salumi, I had a feeling Seattle would be 2 for 2. Everyone ahead of me ordered the #2 special, which is the Cuban Roast. My eyes also caught something I don't see very often – a seared scallop sandwich. Yes, I love scallops – tater tots of the sea! "Cuban roast and a seared scallop please." I took a seat and noticed that everyone around me was eating the Cuban roast. It was kind of scary in a pre-programmed, 1950's America-cookie-cutter lifestyle, but they seemed to be enjoying it. No one talked. My sandwiches were ready 10 minutes later and I was thrilled to see that they were set on those unbreakable Chinese entree plates. I was in Seattle, Cuba AND China at the same time. Now for the sandwich. Like Salumi, one bite into the sandwich and a beautiful disaster dripped on to the plate. The meat was very flavorful and super moist, sandwiched between a piece of romaine, mayo and bread that I found a little too hard. I then took a bite of the seared scallop sandwich and loved it more than the Cuban roast. But that's me, I prefer seafood over meat. I'm glad I tried both Salumi and Paseo though as both are different beasts.
The next day we stopped over at another place highly regarded in Seattle: Tom Douglas's Serious Pie. For happy hour, they offer their miniature signature pies for $6. We ordered the egg and guanciale pizza and I thought it was so-so. I didn't mind that it was sauceless but it just seemed more like "flatbread" than "pizza". Next time I'm up here, I'd like to give Orangette's husband's spot, Delancey, a shot. The beer here was excellent though.
After Serious Pie, we were in need of some sort of redemption. A quick taxi ride up to the Capitol Hill neighborhood and stopped at a place called Anchovies & Olives. New York has David Chang. New Orleans has John Besh. Seattle has Ethan Stowell. This chef/restaurateur has a barrage of Italian-inspired restaurants that will suit almost everyone — particularly those who don't mind $1 oysters. Every Sunday through Thursday from 5–6 pm, you'll find other ostraphiles ordering oysters by the dozens. Hey, I like $1 oysters!
We started off with the geoduck and pickled cucumber appetizer and it was light and simply delicious. And you didn't have to stare at the behemoth clam living in a tiny shell in its live state. Not the most appealing. I refer to geoducks as "fat clams in a little shell" like Tommy Boy's "fat guy in a little jacket". We also had their scallop crudi dish which was excellent.
Everyone around us seemed to have at least 2 dozen oysters so it took a while before the oysters came out. But once the servers brought them out, we were happy. I forgot the names of these as it didn't matter. You can't get oysters any fresher than this. We figured the reason these oysters were $1 during happy hour is because they are "older". But "old oysters" in Seattle means it's fresher than anything you'll get in California, so I'm not complaining.
Oysters served with a nice scallion mignonette.
We hated Anchovies & Olives so much that we ate here two days in a row. This restaurant is proof that Seattle knows seafood. And by chance, as I was slurping an oyster, I recognized a reader of my blog out of the corner of my eye. She is a young photographer named Allison O'Connor and we first noticed her as she documented her time in Japan through colorful film photography. She ended up joining us for a meal the following day. Check out her blog Urban Research, especially the Japan set.
Some other restaurants we ate at that are worth mentioning are Ethan Stowell's How to Cook A Wolf and Renee Erickson's The Walrus & The Carpenter. At How to Cook A Wolf, Stowell offers more traditional Italian-inspired dishes like pastas and meats. We had the beef carpaccio and signature gnocci – loved them both. Erickson was recently written about in New York Times and Bon Appetit rated them as the 2011 #3 restaurant in America. This quaint place has such a nice welcoming ambiance. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and offers a nice oyster bar for those that like the upfront shucking action. With delicious dishes like grilled salmon head, seared smoked trout and some of the tastiest olive-oil marinated tomatoes I've ever had, our group deemed this the best meal in Seattle. We didn't take many photos unfortunately.
And of course, we checked out a few cocktail places. Seattle's cocktail scene is often compared to Portland's but I think they are both kind of different and solid in their own ways.
Needle & Thread
Fans of speakeasies like The Varnish in Los Angeles and P.D.T. (Please Don't Tell) in New York will be charmed by this bar above the popular Tavern Law restaurant. We didn't have a reservation but were lucky enough to have our waiter at Tavern Law make a call from their phone booth (it connects directly to the Needle & Thread). We soon found ourselves walking up dark stairs into a very elegantly designed space. There are no menus, so you are at the mercy of your bartender — an incentive to tip well.
Zig Zag Café
One of Seattle's most classic bars can be found in the "dungeons" of the Pike Place Market. This former Japanese restaurant still has its red-leather booths but the cocktails here are just done right. The rule here is that if you don't like the drink, send it back. We got very zig-zaggy at the Zig Zag Room.
The Rob Roy
In this low-key bar, you get all the attention you want from the great bartenders. Try the Dark & Fernety (a Dark & Stormy with Fernet-Branca).

Outliers: The Story of Successby Malcolm Gladwell
Staff Pick
If you've ever wondered what so-and-so had that you didn't, you need to read Outliers. Gladwell's writing is always engaging, especially when he illuminates the mysterious elements that allow one person to succeed beyond all others.
"Part psychologist, part sociologist and investigative reporter, Gladwell tells intriguing tales about people who overcome adversity: children of Jewish immigrants; talented musicians from the back streets of Liverpool, England; and flight attendants from Korea. With relentless curiosity and a keen fascination with significant details, he focuses on trends and illuminates the larger lessons he wants everyone to learn. Jargon never rears its head, which in part explains his enduring popularity." Jonah Raskin, San Francisco Chronicle (read the entire San Francisco Chronicle review)
"Outliers argues that American society has a limited and misleading understanding of how and why people succeed. Gladwell never precisely defines what he means by "success," but most of his examples center on people who have risen to great heights in their professional careers. His book adopts the classical reassurances of the self-help line about the irrelevance of personal endowments and talents — indeed, it goes so far in its rejection of the power of individual intellect that it becomes itself an exercise in anti-intellectualism." Isaac Chotiner, The New Republic (read the entire New Republic review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of outliers — the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band.
Brilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.
"Outliers begins with a provocative look at why certain five-year-old boys enjoy an advantage in ice hockey, and how these advantages accumulate over time. We learn what Bill Gates, the Beatles and Mozart had in common: along with talent and ambition, each enjoyed an unusual opportunity to intensively cultivate a skill that allowed them to rise above their peers. A detailed investigation of the unique culture and skills of Eastern European Jewish immigrants persuasively explains their rise in 20th-century New York, first in the garment trade and then in the legal profession. Through case studies ranging from Canadian junior hockey champions to the robber barons of the Gilded Age, from Asian math whizzes to software entrepreneurs to the rise of his own family in Jamaica, Gladwell tears down the myth of individual merit to explore how culture, circumstance, timing, birth and luck account for success — and how historical legacies can hold others back despite ample individual gifts. Even as we know how many of these stories end, Gladwell restores the suspense and serendipity to these narratives that make them fresh and surprising.One hazard of this genre is glibness. In seeking to understand why Asian children score higher on math tests, Gladwell explores the persistence and painstaking labor required to cultivate rice as it has been done in East Asia for thousands of years; though fascinating in its details, the study does not prove that a rice-growing heritage explains math prowess, as Gladwell asserts. Another pitfall is the urge to state the obvious: 'No one,' Gladwell concludes in a chapter comparing a high-IQ failure named Chris Langan with the brilliantly successful J. Robert Oppenheimer, 'not rock stars, not professional athletes, not software billionaires and not even geniuses — ever makes it alone.' But who in this day and age believes that a high intelligence quotient in itself promises success? In structuring his book against that assumption, Gladwell has set up a decidedly flimsy straw man. In the end it is the seemingly airtight nature of Gladwell's arguments that works against him. His conclusions are built almost exclusively on the findings of others — sociologists, psychologists, economists, historians — yet he rarely delves into the methodology behind those studies. And he is free to cherry-pick those cases that best illustrate his points; one is always left wondering about the data he evaluated and rejected because it did not support his argument, or perhaps contradicted it altogether. Real life is seldom as neat as it appears in a Malcolm Gladwell book. Leslie T. Chang is the author of Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China (Spiegel & Grau). Take a trip to New Delhi or New Jersey — or even back in time — with these lavish photography books." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Outliers is riveting science, self-help, and entertainment, all in one book. (Grade: A)" Entertainment Weekly
"Thought-provoking, entertaining, and irresistibly debatable, Outliers offers lively stories about an unexpected range of exceptional people....Overall, it's another winner from this agile social observer." The Christian Science Monitor
"[T]he author's lively storytelling and infectious enthusiasm make it an engaging, perhaps even inspiring, read. Sure to be a crowd-pleaser." Kirkus Reviews
"Following a format similar to his previous books, Gladwell gloms onto an apparent phenomenon...and offers what we're all apparently supposed to believe are startlingly logical explanations for why they stand out....It's all very readable, but not particularly surprising." Library Journal
"Ultimately, Outliers is a book about the 20th century. It offers a fascinating look at how certain people became successful, but it doesn't solve the problem of how to help others equal their achievement." The Boston Globe
"The book, which purports to explain the real reason some people — like Bill Gates and the Beatles — are successful, is peppy, brightly written and provocative in a buzzy sort of way. It is also glib, poorly reasoned and thoroughly unconvincing." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
Gladwell embarks on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" — the best and the brightest and the most successful. He investigates what makes high-achievers different by looking at their culture, family, generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.
A rigorous and inspiring survey of the workings of creative pairings that shows us how great duos work together and how we can adapt their techniques in our own work and lives.

As many as nine million Americans will have a gambling problem in a given year, according to statistics on the Web site of the National Council on Problem Gambling. With the expansion of new casinos and other forms of gaming in Maine comes the risk that more people here will become addicted. In Waterville today, the state held its first ever conference on problem gambling. Jay Field paid a visit.
In late January, problem gambling got a new definition in the DSM. That's the book put out by the American Psychiatric Association to disagnose mental health conditions. For 33 years, the DSM defined problem gambling as an impulse control disorder, before finally re-labeling it a behavioral addiction.
It's a more accurate description of the problem Lesa Desmore struggled with. Densmore, who's in her early 40s now, started gambling as a kid, growing up in the Gardiner area. "You know, maybe playing some penny poker around the kitchen table, some basic scratch off tickets here and there," she says. "And then it progressed into very intense bingo for me."
Densmore eventually relocated to upstate New York, where she built a fitness, nutrition and wellness counseling practice, and discovered what she calls the crack cocaine of gambling addiction: video poker.
"I would work maybe a few hours and then I would - I would go - I would go to a casino somewhere," she says. "And I would spend my entire day there. I would lIve in my car, in the parking lot at the casino, and I would go in with the same clothes the next day."
Densmore's business fell apart. She lost her house, had two cars repossessed and ended up living in a tent for eighth months.
"I'm lying more. I'm manipulating more, and feeling out of control and not good as a person - a loser, incapable, weak, morally weak," she said. "I'd been thinking about ways to end my life for a little while, waking up the next day, and it hadn't happened. I went back to the casino."
With the help of family and friends, Densmore eventually made it into a residential treatment program for gambling addiction. She's a professional recovery coach now, counseling gambling addicts. She also travels the country, speaking at conferences. On Thursday, she traveled home to Maine to address the state's first inaugural conference on problem gambling in Waterville.
"So this is National Problem Gambling Awareness Week, so our effort is to try to get the information out this week," says
Christine Theriault, who organized the conference. She's a behavioral health manager with the state's Office of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services.
After a lengthy presentation by Densmore, a crowd of around 50 listened as a panel debated steps Maine should be taking to address problem gambling. The group included representatives from the Gambling Control Board, the Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations and the Hollywood and Oxford Casinos.
Theriault says that, so far, the casinos have been good partners on the issue of problem gambling.
"We have monthly conference calls to talk about what eachother's doing. We've collaborated on responsible gaming week, which is usually happening in August. They've promoted our 'Safe Bet' campaign by using our 'Safe Bet' napkins, which have information on the napkins that talk about how people can gamble responsibly," she says.
In addition to the napkin campaign, Oxford Casino has lots of brouchers through out the facility that alert patrons to the dangers posed by problem gaming. Tricia Johnson is the casino's point person for making sure Oxford follows all state and federal regulations.
"One of my roles is to train all of our employees. We have over 400 employees," she says. "So we touch upon problem gambling and making them aware of the addictive behaviors, in case they see it within their own families or within gamblers at the casino."
And Johnson says the casino is also working with Healthy Oxford Hills, a community health agency, to raise awareness through out the Oxford Region.

WHO: Robert Pattinson
WHAT: Photographed at the New York premiere of Cosmopolis last month.
WEAR: Gucci Cruise 2013 Azul Silk Cotton Notch Lapel Two Button Monaco Suit ($1990) with Baltic Blue Stretch Popeline Button-Down Shirt ($520) and black Solid Silk Tie ($185).
WHY: "At all of the Euro fashion shows, there are one or two sort of vanity suits that you think, uh, great, but who is going to wear that? And then Robert Pattinson is like: burgundy Gucci two-button? Hell yeah! And he looks sharp as Satan doing it. This is another one of those moments. He's just a pro at pulling off lux-y, eccentric suits."
Get the Look: Paul Smith London Byard Slim-Fit Wool Suit ($1335); Reiss Ecuador Long Sleeve Dobby Detail Shirt ($150); J. Crew Italian Wool Suiting Tie ($60).
WHO: David Beckham
WHAT: Leaving Gjelina restaurant in Venice, California early last month.
WEAR: Gray t-shirt; off-white pants; green beanie; lace-up boots.
WHY: "What's so great about a guy like Beckham is that he knows how to go all out with a black-tie look, but he can also throw on a beanie-an essential for guys with longer, bedhead-prone manes-and a stretched-out v-neck for a weekend stroll and look just as polished and inimitably stylish."
Get the Look: Rag & Bone Basic Tee ($80) in Iron; J. Crew Slim Brushed-Cotton Trousers ($70); Quicksilver Row Beanie ($20); Paul Smith Washed-Leather Brogue Boots ($625).
WHO: Ryan Gosling
WHAT: Running around New York earlier this year.
WEAR: Burgundy cardigan; printed t-shirt; dark-wash jeans; aviator sunglasses; lace-up boots.
WHY: "What's interesting about Gosling's style-which is all his, by the way-is that it mirrors his career. He dips into mainstream traditions, but his heart is in the indie stuff. And there's no other indie-kid trend that's breaking bigger right now than Baja and Navajo prints. They dominate the style blogs, just like he does."
Get the Look: J. Crew Slim Slub Merino Cardigan ($98); ASOS T-Shirt with All Over Aztec Stripe ($26); Levi's Vintage Clothing 1960 605 Orange Label Washed Slim-Fit Jeans ($225); Urban RenewalVintage Combat Boots ($69).
WHO: Kanye West
WHAT: On the red carpet at the 2012 Met Gala earlier this year.
WEAR: Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci tuxedo.
WHY: "In a weird way, Kanye is like the Gwyneth Paltrow of dudes-a larger-than-life human mannequin guys in Flyover, USA might not relate to but can vicariously experience Givenchy, Lanvin, and every other highest-of-high line through. He looks sick doing it, too, especially when we're talking black tie, which is his strong suit."
Get the Look: Ludlow Two-Button Tuxedo Jacket with Double-Vented Back in Italian Wool ($525) and Classic Tuxedo Pants in Italian Wool ($265); Gucci Slim-Fit Cotton Shirt ($385); Lanvin Silk-Satin Double Bow Tie ($130).
WHO: Adam Scott
WHAT: Arriving at the Los Angeles premiere of The Bachelorette last month.
WEAR: Topman suit; J. Crew tie; Shoto shoes.
WHY: "When it comes to that classic GQ sort of look-narrow lapels, equally narrow tie, and a perfectly slim suit-there's just about no other guy out there right now nailing it as often as Adam Scott. His look is not just for show, either. If you run into him on the streets in NYC, he's just as polished and put together as he is on the red carpet."
Get the Look: Acne Wall St Wool Suit Jacket ($580) and Slim-Fit Suit Trousers ($280); J. Crew Classic Point-Collar Shirt ($88); Brioni Spotted Woven-Silk Tie ($200).
WHO: Josh Hutcherson
WHAT: Hanging out with friends in Hollywood last month.
WEAR: Denim jacket; white v-neck t-shirt; dark-wash jeans; sneakers.
WHY: "It's nice to see this guy experimenting a little with something different. Usually, he's a bit more preppy, a bit more wholesome. But he's starring in the biggest blockbuster trilogy right now, so sure. Go ahead and slick back your hair, pull on a jean jacket, and do that whole waster-greaser-teenage thing."
Get the Look: Jean Shop Washed Selvedge Denim Jacket ($320); James Perse V-Neck Tee ($85); Topman Navy Slim Chinos ($60).
WHO: Justin Theroux
WHAT: Out in New York a few weeks ago.
WEAR: Lacoste t-shirt; dark-wash jeans; Supreme hat; vintage boots.
WHY: "Justin's style is really lived-in and reliably badass. Three ways he pulls it off: he keeps things absolutely simple. He wears black, all black, in all kinds of shades, which gives his look some texture. And he buys a mix of high-end and vintage pieces, like leather jackets and raw denim, and wears them dead.
Get the Look: American Apparel Poly-Cotton Short Sleeve Crew Neck ($20); J Brand Kane Washed Straight-Leg Jeans ($200); Ray-Ban Large Metal Aviators ($145).

Naval Academy Summer Seminar Program Seeks Student Applicants
Posted on: January 16, 2014 08:00 EST by LT Teng K. Ooi and CAPT Linda J. Beltra
Applications for the 2014 Naval Academy Summer Seminar (NASS) Program opened Jan. 16 at www.usna.edu/admissions/nass.
Session dates include May 31-June 5, June 7-12, and June 14-19.
The U.S. Naval Academy's 2014 Summer Seminar Program invites a select group of young men and women to visit the Yard for a fast-paced, six-day experience designed to introduce the Naval Academy to rising high school seniors.
At the core of the seminar is the academic program involving 90-minute workshops designed to promote problem-solving skills using critical thinking, optimization, innovation, creativity, and teamwork.
Students choose eight workshops from a wide range of subjects including information technology, naval architecture, mechanical engineering, ocean engineering, aerospace flight testing, systems engineering, microcomputer design, ethics and character development, oceanography, mathematics, history, meteorology, literature, chemistry, political science, language studies, martial arts, and economics.
Students participate in project-based modules applying hands-on, real-world approaches to solving design and analysis problems utilizing the Naval Academy's world-class laboratory facilities. These facilities provide a unique learning environment outside the traditional classroom.
The NASS teaches prospective applicants about the life of midshipmen at the Naval Academy, where academics, athletics, and professional training are key elements in developing our nation's leaders. Students live in the dormitory, eat in the dining hall and participate in academic and leadership workshops.
They also participate in daily physical training including group runs and conditioning exercises. Seamanship and navigation classes culminate in a cruise aboard a Navy Yard Patrol Craft. The program helps educate, motivate and prepare selected students who are considering application for appointment to the Naval Academy.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
That old saying goes...Rome wasn't built in a day.
It's an old adage that can help carry the Carbon High boys soccer team through the offseason after the team missed out on advancing to the 3A state playoffs.
"We were a young team and we played a lot of tough teams this season," said CHS head coach Keith Palmer. "But this team truly played together more than any other team I've coached before."
With only four seniors on the squad, including Dakota Powell, Zach Prettyman, Lane Neese and Lance Riche, Palmer said the Dinos succeeded by banding together as a team while playing through some tough results.
In their season finale on the road against Spanish Fork, Palmer said the Dons scored four of five goals in the first half during a 10 minute span that decided the outcome of the game. Other than that period of time in the game, Palmer said the Dinos did a good job of keeping up with the Region 12 leaders during a 5-0 loss on April 26.
"We played them tough other than that 10 minute span," Palmer explained.
The Dinos, 3-10-1 overall and 2-6-0 in Region 12, will now look towards developing the young talent that comprised much of the squad this season.
The work in the offseason on every facet of the game will be key in preparing for next season, Palmer said.
"Our young players will need to develop more quickly," he said. "They'll need to work on all of the basics and to play as a team."
While the players are expected to work hard during the offseason, Palmer said he still has plenty to work on as a coach.
"I'm still learning as a coach too," he continued "so we'll all be working together."
Palmer credited the team's seniors with knowing the vision that he and the coaching staff have for the program.
"The seniors were all natural leaders during practice and in games," he said. "The younger kids looked up to them."
While the team endured some lopsided losses during the season, Palmer said it can be a slow process in turning around a program and getting things back on the right track.
"We're playing the game the right way and now we've got to work hard and learn to put the mistakes behind us.
"If we do that, then we'll be a much better team sooner, I hope," he said

Sarah Smiley is a Bangor-based author, columnist and Navy wife. When her pilot husband Dustin was deployed to Africa for a year 18 months ago, one of the things that she and her three young boys, ages 11, 9 and 5, thought they would miss the most would be family dinners.
This was a time when the family would sit down and talk to each other with no cell phones, videogames or other distractions, and it was also a time when Dustin's absence would be most keenly felt. So, during his absence Sarah decided to invite different guests to dinner every week to fill the empty chair at the table. Doing this, she said, taught her some important and valuable lessons about love, life and loss.
Tom Porter spoke with Sarah Smiley [transcript not available] after her book was published by Hyperion Books.
Sarah Smiley will be doing a book-signing this coming Saturday, May 11, at the Briar Patch bookstore in Bangor at 11am.

Series EE Savings Bonds
Use EE Bonds to
- save in a reliable, low-risk, government-backed product
- supplement your retirement income
- give as a gift (See: Giving Savings Bonds as Gifts)
- pay for education (See: Using EE or I Bonds for Education)
|√ at a glance
|What is an EE Bond?
(EE Bonds with issue dates from May 2005 on)
A security that earns the same rate of interest (a fixed rate) for up to 30 years. When you buy the bond, you know what rate of interest it will earn. Treasury announces a fixed rate each May 1 and Nov. 1 for new EE bonds
|Were older EE Bonds different?
Yes. EE Bonds bought from May 1997 through April 2005 earn a rate of interest that changes every six months (a variable rate). EE Bonds bought before May 1997 earn interest at different rates depending on when they were bought.
Learn more on Interest Rates for EE Bonds – Current and Past
|If I buy an EE Bond now, what interest will it earn?
The interest rate for bonds bought between May 1, 2015, and October 31, 2015, is an annual rate of 0.30%.
Learn more on Interest Rates for EE Bonds – Current and Past
|Is it taxable?
Federal income tax: Yes
State and local income tax: No
See: Tax Considerations for EE/E or I Bonds
Using the money for higher education may keep you from paying federal income tax on your savings bond interest. See: Using EE or I Bonds for Education
|Minimum purchase
Electronic: $25 for a $25 EE Bond.
|Maximum purchase
$10,000 each calendar year for each Social Security Number. You may buy up to $10,000 in electronic EE Bonds.
|Available bonds
Electronic: Any amount from $25 to $10,000 to the penny. For example, with electronic bonds, you could buy an EE Bond for $50.23.
|How long must I keep an EE Bond?
EE Bonds are meant to be long-term investments. They earn interest for up to 30 years.
You can cash them in after 1 year. But if you cash them in before 5 years, you lose the last 3 months' interest. (For example, if you cash in an EE Bond after 18 months, you get the first 15 months of interest.)
|How do I buy an EE Bond?
Electronic: Through your TreasuryDirect account
You can arrange to buy electronic bonds through payroll direct deposit. See http://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/products/prod_tdpayrollinfo.htm.
|What about older E Bonds?
Before the EE Series, Treasury sold E Bonds.
All E Bonds have stopped earning interest; but if you own E Bonds, you can still redeem them (cash them in). Redeeming (Cashing in) EE Bonds

In 2000 Utah held it's first ever primary dealing with a presidential election. The results of the statewide election determined the percentage of delegates each presidential candidate received from Utah at national conventions for both the Republican and Democratic parties. The primary was funded by the state of Utah.
However, at the 2003 general session of the Utah State Legislature, the presidential primary law was amended to make the election contingent on funding from that body. In the 2003 legislative session no money was granted for the primary this year, so the upcoming primary will not be funded by the state, but by the Democratic party instead.
Since there are no candidates, other than President Bush, running for the Republican nomination, that party will not be involved in any kind of presidential primary in the state.
The party-run primary will have the same effect on the process that a state-run primary would have had, which is to determine to which candidate(s) the 29 delegate votes to the Democratic National Convention will be committed.
According to Carbon County's primary election chair, Alexis Horsley, the polling will be held on February 24 and it will be an open election, meaning all citizens are welcome to take part in the process.
To vote in the election a person must be a United States citizen, 18 years of age by the time the general election takes place on Nov. 2, a Utah resident and they must declare themselves to be voting as a Democrat at the time of the primary.
Since the primary is being funded by the Democratic party, most of the usual polling places will not be open for voting.
"In Carbon County we will be using the Helper City Library, the Price City Library, the Wellington City Hall and the East Carbon Senior Citizen Center for polling places," stated Horsley.
The polling hours will also be different than the normal polling times. The polls will open at noon and close at 8 p.m. the evening of Feb. 24.
At present those on the ballot include Wesley. K. Clark, Howard Dean, John Edwards, Dick Gephardt, John F. Kerry, Dennis J. Kucinich and Joseph I. Lieberman. However, with some of the above having pulled out of the race since the primary's announcement as well as a couple more possibly pulling out in the next week, that could change.
"We are particularly excited about Utah's upcoming primary," said State Democratic Chair, Donald Dunn, in a news release. "With the Utah primary taking place at such an early date in the selection process, this is a wonderful opportunity for our state to grab national attention in the Presidential election process."
While absentee ballots can be obtained by calling the Utah Democratic Party at (801) 328-1212 or by downloading an application for one at www.utdemocrats.org, there will not be any internet voting in this primary election, largely due to the financial obligation required and the fact that many people are concerned about the security of such a system.
"This is a good chance for the electorate in the county to get involved in the presidential primary selection process," said Horsley. "We hope a lot of people will come out to the polls that day."

Why would you change field of view?
Why would you change field of view?
But why would you. Does it affect performance or something?
People change their fov either to make their view in front more clear, or to see more around them on the sides. Some just like the feel of a certain fov.
I recommend staying between 90 and 110 as a rule of thumb. The default of 100 is perfectly fine.
A higher FOV can be helpful in some game modes. I used to play with 120 in CTF because it gives you a better awareness of where everybody is. Duelists tend to have it much lower - 90 seems quite popular because you're only facing 1 guy and don't need to see the periphery. Up to a point, lower fov helps your aim.
Like to play more Freeze Tag ? Join Clan Chill. We play Freeze Tag most evenings, 7:30pm UK time onwards, with a smattering of TDM, CTF and a regular duel cup. Check our website. IRC : #clanchill on quakenet
